"My Best Friend's Weddings" lyrics
The Chicks Lyrics
"My Best Friend's Weddings"
Met you at my best friend's wedding
There was something about you
You set off fireworks that evening
With a flicker of untruth
Jump twenty years, jump twenty years, twenty years, yeah
Lookin' back, in retrospect
I was never safe, I was never safe, still not safe, yeah
You'd torch me any chance you'd get
I see a wildfire comin'
Burnin' the world that I've known
Watch me, watch me outrun it
Take what I need and go
Strangest thing not having you here with me
Then I realized
That I prefer my own company
To yours anytime
In twenty years, twenty years, twenty years, yeah
I'll still be younger than you
I'm better off, I'm better off, better off, yeah
Without your gloom and your doom
'Cause I can see a wildfire comin'
Burnin' the world that I know
Watch me, watch me outrun it
Take what I need and go
Go it alone, go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone
I'm back here at my best friend's wedding
Yeah, she married again
I've never seen her look more happy
Guess from ashes, we can really grow
And my wildfire's comin'
Burnin' the path that I've known
Watch me, yeah, watch me run with it
Take it wherever it goes
And I'll go it alone, go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone (Go it alone)
Oh
Oh
Go it alone
Go it alone
Go it alone
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Martina McBride - "Whatever You Say" You think I'm always makin'
Something out of nothin'
You're sayin' everything's okay
You've always got an answer
Before I ask the question
Whatever you say
Now we can change the subject
Pretend I...
Yola Carter - "Orphan Country" As a baby I was alone in my roller
Every sign rang the chord of dishonor
Oh I tried to see if I could find the light amid the dusk
But my kin can't love
And the others thirst for blood
Life and I...
Patty Loveless - "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky
That's the place where I traced my bloodline
And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone
You'll never leave Harlan alive

Taylor Swift - "Tim McGraw" He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On back roads at night
And I...
Caylee Hammack - "Looking For A Lighter" Today I turned twenty-three
Finally catching up with my old fake ID
I just found it in the kitchen drawer
Full of sentimental things
That I don't need anymore
But still I'm searching through coupons...
