I don't know how to drive a lifted Ford

I've never saddled up a horse

I don't drink beer and I don't own boots

I don't have a hint of twang in my voice

I've never chased deer through the backwoods pines

Truth is, I've never wanted to

No, I ain't that country but I could be country for you

I've never worked in a field of hay

And I hate driving on dirt roads

When I buy tickets to frontier days

That's gonna be my first rodeo

I look pretty bad in a cowboy hat

And I'm afraid to barbecue

No, I ain't that country but I could be country for you

Don't even know the definition of honky-tonk

Can't even grow a halfway decent beard

But even though you never told me to change my ways

I think it's time I got myself in gear

I'm gonna learn how to play a steel guitar

I'll have a listen to Tim McGraw

Then I'll watch Pure Country, then I'll watch it again

I'll learn to sing with a southern drawl

'Cause I love you more than rock and roll

So I am trying something new

Oh, I ain't that country but I could be country for you

No, I'm not very country but I could be country for you

I had a hard day's work and came home feeling blue

I found you there, just looking at your phone

You saw my face and rolled your eyes the way you do

You said some things that cut me to the bone

I swear you once told me that real men cry

I guess you can confess that was a lie

You don't get to call me baby anymore

Not since the time that you implied I was acting like one

You can say you're sorry, you can walk right out the door

But you can't call me baby anymore

Tomorrow night's your big work party at the bar

You planned to show me off to all your friends

You sent a message saying, "Honey, dear, sweetheart

Don't you think it's time we made amends?"

You think that you can sweet talk me back home

But after what you said, babe, you should know

You don't get to call me baby anymore

Not since the time that you implied I was acting like one

You can say you're sorry, you can walk right out the door

But you can't call me baby anymore

You don't get to call me baby anymore

Not since the time that you implied I was acting like one

You can say you're sorry, you can walk right out the door

But you can't call me baby anymore

Imagine back to when our lives

Were nothing but the two of us

Hard to believe that way back then

Together was enough

Now when I'm tired

I wanna go somewhere that we can be alone

In Colorado Springs, where it's just you and me and no distractions

Colorado Springs, where we can finally be sure

That after all this time together we're still so in love

You and I could do so many things

In Colorado Springs

Car seats, bottles, diaper bags

And rides to games of basketball

Doctor visits, dance recitals

Home remodels, switching jobs

Life's been so good, make no mistake

But I still wanna get away

To Colorado Springs, where we can sit alone and watch the sunrise

Colorado Springs, the place where we can be ourselves

We'll drop all our responsibilities

And hold each other close

You and I could do so many things

In Colorado Springs

I wouldn't trade the life we've made

For anything or anyone

But some days I hope and pray

That we can run away

I wish it was today

In Colorado Springs, where we can lie awake and talk together

Colorado Springs, where we can finally be free

'Cause after all this time together

We're still so in love

You and I could do so many things

In Colorado Springs

I've got a worn guitar

That I've been playing for so long

I know before I strum it what I'll hear

But unlike that, though I've known you

What feels like my whole life

Every single day you catch my ear

It's like a book I've read a hundred times

But somehow in the end I'm still surprised

How could I not

Watch you as you walk across the room

And do the things you do

It's hard to stop

Missing you like crazy even when we've barely been apart

But how could I not

We're older than we were

When we first held each other's hands

You'd think it wouldn't still be so exciting

The butterflies I had

When you first touched your lips to mine

Still just keep on fluttering inside me

I know it's kinda cheesy but it's true

I'm still completely hung up on you

How could I not

Melt into a puddle on the floor

When you walk in the door

It takes a lot

To stop myself from smiling every single time you're in my thoughts

But how could I not

Like deja vu

I hope won't go away

I'm falling even further every day

How could I not

Brag to everybody that I know

That you are my home

It takes a lot

To stop myself from dying knowing somehow I am in your heart

But how could I not

First let me apologize

For all the lies I told you back then

I took your trust and broke your heart

Tore it apart

And I lost my best friend

But now that I'm back at your door

I felt so sure you'd want to be with me

But why can't you love who I am

If you could love the man I used to be?

Your patience was a virtue I

Came to despise

And could not understand

When I left you I was broken inside

Couldn't swallow my pride

Couldn't act like a man

But I have learned from my mistakes

I'll never let you go again, you'll see

Why can't you love who I am now

If you could love the man I used to be?

I waited my whole life

For someone like you

Someone to lose my heart to

But now I lost you

Your eyes won't look up at me now

I know, and how

It's much too late

I know it's time to give up my dreams

Time to set us both free

And accept my fate

I hope someday you'll find someone

Who wants you like you used to want me

I know just how much you could love him

Since you once loved the man I used to be

If you could love the man I used to be

I went to Minnesota

I was on a business trip

I met a girl from Arizona

The kind of girl that I could fall in love with

I asked if I could come and see her that summer

And she said, "That sounds so sweet

But if you come down to Arizona

Get ready for the heat"

I followed her to Scottsdale

It was a hundred and twelve degrees

I melted so fast that before I knew it

I was getting down on one knee

I invited all my friends to come see us

We were getting hitched that week

But I said, "If you come down to Arizona

Get ready for the heat"

The day after the wedding

I began to realize

The woman I had married

Well, she wasn't all that nice

Her temper burned like asphalt

Her heart was all ablaze

She had beauty like the sunset

But she kissed like a rattlesnake

The next time I left town for work

I finally got relief

But she said, "When you get back to Arizona

Get ready for the heat"

I knew that I should leave her

But I couldn't help myself

So I asked her to be a little less fiery

But she seriously had no chill

She told me to go back where I came from

Then she threw me out on the street

And she said, "If you come back to Arizona

Get ready for the heat"

I cried until my tears ran drier

Than the old Sonora sands

Then I went back to my old job

Back to something I could understand

You can go to Minnesota

And see the winter snow

Or head off to Wyoming

Where you can really be alone

And New York has the city lights

And L.A.'s got the beach

But if you go down to Arizona

Get ready for the heat

Love at first sight has never been

Something I have bought for a second

One magical night could never convince me

We're a match made in heaven

I think more logically

I know these things aren't meant to be

The room was dark and there you were

Sitting alone in the corner

After a while I started to hear myself think

You'd probably adore her

Little did I know how right I was

Suddenly my life has changed because

You make me believe in soulmates

You make me think we could be made for each other, yeah

You make me believe in soulmates

Soulmates

We talked for hours and hours

And I didn't know how late it had gotten

Out of the blue, sitting next to you

Was the only thing that I wanted

Hours turned to days, and days to weeks

Never knew that this could be so easy

You make me believe in soulmates

You make me think we could be meant for each other, yeah

You make me believe in soulmates

Soulmates

Soulmates

I've never met anyone who knows me like you know me

I've never told anyone the words I've been saying

I could spend the rest of my life with you

Do you want me to?

You make me believe in soulmates

You make me think we could be meant for each other, yeah

You make me believe in soulmates

Soulmates

Soulmates

You make me believe in soulmates

You make me think that we are perfect for each other, yeah

You make me believe in soulmates

Soulmates

Soulmates

I've got a wedding band on my ring finger

We've got a mortgage on the house

She put a love note on my brand new lunchbox

I slammed the door on my way out

I'm on the highway to the job site downtown

And right on cue, I hear my cell phone chime

I pull my Chevy off onto the shoulder

I find the app and lose my mind

There's a red Tacoma on our doorbell cam

It drives up when I'm gone to work and stays till 2pm

My wife has never said a word and I don't understand

There's a red Tacoma on our doorbell cam

I'm clocking in and I'm still thinking about her

I check my phone and nothing's moved

I tell my boss I'm feeling awful queasy

And if I'm being honest, that's the truth

There's a red Tacoma on our doorbell cam

It drives up when I'm gone to work and stays till 2pm

My wife's in for a big surprise and so's the other man

There's a red Tacoma on our doorbell cam

I drive as fast as I have ever driven

I'm leaving tracks in every lane

I practice telling her that it's all over

I picture my wedding ring circling the drain

I screech into the neighborhood and see it

That stupid truck that has me beat

But once I pull up closer to our driveway

I realize it's parked across the street

There's a red Tacoma on our doorbell cam

The Johnsons' nanny comes to work and stays till 2pm

And I will never tell my wife what an idiot I've been

About that red Tacoma on our doorbell cam

That red Tacoma on our doorbell cam

Your mom said, "Hon, I told you so"

My dad said they already know

But every passing year I swore we'd be okay

It's time we took our final bow

I'll take the car, you take the house

But I've got one more ask before I drive away

Hold on tight, hold on tight

Oh, hold on tight to me

I know you're right, won't last the night

But hold on tight to me

It's a long, long road we're walking down

But we both know there's no way out

So hold on tight, hold on tight

Oh, hold on tight to me

Your heart's been broken for so long

We both know it's nobody's fault

But still the more we try

The more things slip away

So hold on tight, hold on tight

Oh, hold on tight to me

I know you know it's time to go

But hold on tight to me

And I can't face the truth because

I'm not the man you thought I was

But hold on tight, hold on tight

Oh, hold on tight to me

When the morning comes we'll see it all so clear

And we can finally disappear

But hold on tight, hold on tight

Oh, hold on tight to me

Before the dawn, when this is gone

Just hold on tight to me

At long, long last we'll break this curse

For richer, poorer, better, worse

Just hold on tight, hold on tight

Please hold on tight to me

What more have you got to lose

Just hold on tight to me

I hope you know I did love you

Just not as much as I wanted to

So hold on tight, hold on tight

Oh, hold on tight to me

Oh, hold on tight, hold on tight

Yeah, hold on tight

Hold on tight to me

I took you on a drive

Stars filled up the August sky

I could see the moonlight shining in your eyes

We danced out in the dark

To our favorite song

Then I told you that I loved you for the first time

No matter what I do

That song reminds me of you

But it's only a song to me now

It lost all its music

It's just words and sound

It used to be our song

Till everything went wrong

But it's only a song to me now

We married in the spring

Swore we'd get through anything

Didn't realize the pain that love could bring

But every time we fought

I could always play your song

And you'd close your eyes and slowly start to sing

It used to calm my heart

Before we fell apart

But it's only a song to me now

It lost all its music

It's just words and sound

It used to be our song

Till everything went wrong

But it's only a song to me now

Little by little, note by note

Life started to get out of tune

Now two years on

On my own

I keep hearing echoes of you

Last night just before dark

Took a walk out through the park

Saw a bride and groom preparing for a dance

I felt so out of place

Then I swore I saw your face

As she took his hand and started to advance

I heard the music swell

It was a song I know so well

But it's only a song to me now

It lost all its music

It's just words and sound

It used to be our song

Till everything went wrong

But it's only a song to me now
