Old Enough To Know Better

(chick rains/wade hayes)

Rainbows and falling stars couldn't change
The way things are
Or i'd be in your arms tonight
Wishing don't make dreams come true
Or i'd be holding you
I could change the past and make it right

It's gonna take a miracle
To bring you back
I've got to face the fact
I broke your heart so bad this time
Nothing else is gonna change your mind
You're gone for good i believe
It's gonna take a miracle to bring you
Back to me

So i'll climb up the stairs--get down
And say a prayer
That's the only thing i haven't tried
Lord knows i was wrong & if my faith
Is strong
I just might wake up by your side

It's gonna take a miracle
To bring you back
I've got to face the fact
I broke your heart so bad this time
Nothing else is gonna change your mind
You're gone for good i believe
It's gonna take a miracle to bring you
Back to me

It's gonna take a miracle
To bring you back
I've got to face the fact
I broke your heart so bad this time
Nothing else is gonna change your mind
You're gone for good i believe
It's gonna take a miracle to bring you
Back to me

Neon lights draw me like a moth to a flame
Mama raised me right
That just leaves me to blame
When i get a little sideways on a honky-tonk tear
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

Cowgirls with an attitude
Boots and tight blue jeans
Take my mind off doin' right, and doin' other things
When the weekend's gone
I won't have a dime to spare
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

Monday morning i wake up
With a hammer in my hand
The boss-man yelling something at me
That i don't understand
I don't know how i got to work
But i sure know i'm there
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

When the eagle flies on friday
Well he barely leaves the ground
I've got just enough left to get dressed up
And head back to town
Boss says "son, having all that fun
Won't get you anywhere"
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

Monday morning i wake up
With a hammer in my hand
The boss-man yelling something at me
That i don't understand
I don't know how i got to work
But i sure know i'm there
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

It won't make the papers
Like some reunions do
There won't be many people
Just me and him and you
I made a childhood promise
You laughed and dried your tears
I swore that i'd bring daddy home
Tomorrow he'll be here

I tracked him down in denver
Where he'd lived all alone
He was just another drifter
With a number on his stone
In his things i found a picture
Where his hands had worn it thin
A smiling bride was by his side
Now you'll be this way again

We'll have that family reunion
The one you dreamed of
Until the day you died
This time mama he's gonna stay
Forever by your side

I never really knew him
I was no more than a kid
He must have been worth something
If someone loved him like you did
It was hard without a
Man there
You did his part too
I watched your dreams fade
Through the years
But mama--this one
Is coming true

We'll have that family reunion
The one you dreamed of
Until the day you died
This time mama he's gonna stay
Forever by your side

Tonight i came home late again
She didn't ask me where i've been
Her bags were packed and sitting by the door
She looked at me and said goodbye
I did my best to change her mind
But she don't want to hear it anymore

She's steady as she goes
Now she's not crying
If i said it didn't hurt
I'd be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But she's rock steady as she goes

It tears me up to watch her go
But deep inside my heart i know
Leaveing is the only choice she has
I guess she finally got the nerve to give me just what i deserve
She's had enough and she ain't looking back

She's steady as she goes
Now she's not crying
If i said it didn't hurt
I'd be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But she's rock steady as she goes

I'm sittin' here surrounded by people i know
The beer's cold and the music's good and loud
That used to be enough to put a smile on my face
But tonight i just feel lost in this crowd

There's a brunette on the dance floor
That smiled a time or two
So i got up and asked her for a dance
But when she put her arms around me
And i held her i knew
It was just too soon to take another chance

'cause i'm still dancin' with you
I know we said we were through
But i keep holdin' on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when i'm holding someone new
I'm still dancin' with you

When the song was over, i held on a little longer
Deep inside i knew that it was wrong
I could hold her in my arms for the rest of the night
But i'd just be leading her on

'cause i'm still dancin' with you
I know we said we were through
But i keep holdin' on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when i'm holding someone new
I'm still dancin' with you

Even when i'm holding someone new
I'm still dancin' with you
