It's Your

(shawna harrington-burkhart, liz hengber, reba mcentire)

Uncle slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse
He was the one that was only meant for men
She walked around till way after dark
Rode that horse with all her heart
And in the night how she rode

Chorus:
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
And even if she fell she'd survive
In spite of all the tears she may cry
This is how she has to live her life
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself

Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good
They'd seen how he treated the other girls
She waited around till the sun went down
Slipped out of the house not makin' a sound
And in the night oh how they drove

Repeat chorus:

It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyes
In the coldest words of anger
He said without me you won't survive

There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago
She don't leave a note that's not her style
So she waited around till way after dark
Left that man who broke her heart
Now she's gone, oh she's gone

Repeat chorus:

(gary harrison, tim mensy)

People love to talk
And lord i've heard it all
A rumor's not a stranger in this town
Now me, i pay no mind
But it's hittin' home this time
Now i've been told you've gone and let me down

Chorus:
I need to hear it straight from you
Is it rumor or truth
It would break my heart in two
But if it's gonna be bad news
I need to hear it straight from you
I need to hear it straight from you

They all know her name
You didn't spare me any shame
I wonder did you even try to hude
I think that you owe me
Just a little honesty
And even though you told me with your eyes

Repeat chorus:

(troy seals, max d. barnes, skip ewing)

I guess it finally dawned on me you're gone
Well maybe i can make it on my own
I don't stay up wonderin' if you'll call
And some nights i don't dream of you at all

Your memory's still hurtin' deep inside
That's something i'm still learnin' how to hide
Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Chorus:
Lookin/ down the line sometimes
I think i see a change
But then i think again and think of you
Here and there i've turned a stone
But the mountain hasn't moved
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

I'm still afraid of turning out the light
And it takes all my strength to face the night
Cause that's the time i face the bitter truth
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue

Repeat chorus:

(kim carnes/donna terry weiss)

Looking back over the years
Of all the things i've always meant to say
But words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all of the nights i tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering

You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

Chorus:
Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know i've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie

Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me?

You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

Repeat chorus:

(sandy knox, anthony little)

He believes in the family unit
The union of man and wife
He believes that you stand before god
For better, for worse and beyond this life

He believes that a ring on his finger
Is something to be proud of
For all of the world to witness
That he is committed to this love

He wants to get married

He'll build a house in the country
Where he'll watch his children grow
And teach them the values of something
That most people never even know

He wants to get married

I never thought i would be so blessed
To know a man like this
He's everything, everything i believe that a man should be

And when he is called to his maker
He wants to go to his grave
With his final remembrance of this earth
To be one last look at his wife's face

He wants to get married
He wants to get married
Oh, he wants to get married

But not to me
