Blake Shelton

Written by blake shelton, earl thomas conley, & mike pyle



There was a time
I really used to care about what others thought
And the way they talk
In a crowd
I used to pull away when she would kiss my face
And touch my hair
She didn't care who saw

(chorus)
She was all over me
And i used to let it get all over me
And now to prove that i love her
I'd crawl on my knees for the whole world to see
Now that she's all over me

The sky is blue
But from where i stand in the middle of this heartache
It sure looks gray
All alone
What i wouldn't give if i could feel
The familiar touch of her love holding me again

(repeat chorus two times)

I knew something was the matter
It really needed my attention
And i had planned to look into it someday
But i was busy making money
I wanted you to be proud of me
Now i wish i could turn the clock back someway

I thought there was time

I never thought that you would leave me
I always thought that i could find you
Somewhere near a phone to answer when i call
Now you have my full attention
Now you're all that i can think of
This is not what i expected at all

I thought there was time
I thought there was time

Are you even on this planet
Can you see these pretty flowers
Or am i standing here just talking to the wind
How i wish that i had told you
How i wish that i had shouted
I love you i love you i love you i love you back then

I thought there was time
I thought there was time
I thought there was time
I thought there was time

I caught my wife with another man,
and it cost me ninety-nine
on a prison farm in georgia,
close to the florida line.
Well i been here for two long years
and i finnaly made the warden my friend
so he sentenced me to a life of ease
takin care of ol red

now ol red he's the damndest dog
that ive ever seen
hes got a nose that can smell
a two day trail
hes a four legged trackin machine
you can consider yourself mighty lucky
to get past the gators and the quicksand beds
but all these years that i been here
aint nobody got past red

(chorus)
and the warden sang
cmon somebody why dont ya run?
ol reds itchin to have a little fun
get my lantern get my gun
red'll have you treed befor the mornin comes

i paid off the guard and i slipped out a letter
to my cousin up in tennessee
he brought down a blue tick hound
she was pretty as she could be
and they penned her up in the swamplands
bout a mile just south of the gate
and id take ol red for his evening run
id just drop him off, and wait

(chorus)

now ol red got real used to seein
his lady every night
so i kept him away
for three or four days
and waited till the time got right
well i made my run with the evenin sun
and i smiled when i heard em turn red out
cause i was headed north to tennessee
and ol red was headed south

(chorus)

now theres red haired blue tick all in the south
love got me in here and love got me out

Now i love country music
And i guess i always will
But these days, when i turn on the radio
It's just not the same thrill
I like a song that gives me chillbumps
Now and then there's some that still do
But i'm fed up with the same old vanilla
Hey how about you


I'm tired of the same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but i'm not dumb

Hey there mr. songwriter
Come and visit in my home
Then tell me about life being perfect
And love that goes on and on and on
Then ride with me in my old bronco
Down to the factory for eight hours
Then let me introduce you to my supervisor
Then write me a song about sunshine and flowers

And the same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but i'm not dumb


I want to hear a song about passion
I want to hear a song about sin
I want to hear a song about redemption
Yeah, sing me one of them
Tell me about a cowboy in australia
Tell me about a prisoner in china
Tell me about some old stock car driver
Down in orangeburg, south carolina
Instead of..


The same old guy
With the same old song
About the same old love
It goes on and on and on
Same old guitar
And the same old strum
I may be country but i'm not dumb


Same old
Same old
Same old

She left without leavin' a number
Said she needed to clear her mind
He figured she'd gone back to austin
'cause she talked about it all the time
It was almost a year before she called him up
Three rings and an answering machine is what she got

If you're callin' 'bout the car i sold it
If this is tuesday night i'm bowling
If you've got somethin' to sell, you're wastin' your time, i'm not buyin'
If it's anybody else, wait for the tone,
You know what to do
And p.s. if this is austin, i still love you

The telephone fell to the counter
She heard but she couldn't believe
What kind of man would hang on that long
What kind of love that must be
She waited three days, and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say,
But she heard three rings and then

If it's friday night i'm at the ballgame
And first thing saturday, if it don't rain
I'm headed out to the lake
And i'll be gone, all weekend long
But i'll call you back when i get home
On sunday afternoon
And p.s. if this is austin, i still love you

Well, this time she left her number
But not another word
Then she waited by the phone on sunday evenin'
And this is what he heard

If you're callin' 'bout my heart
It's still yours
I should've listened to it a little more
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where i belong
And by the way, boy, this is no machine you're talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is austin, and i still love you

I still love you

It brings back an old feeling
Running into you like this
I'm really not afraid of hurting
But i can't stand the awkwardness
Do i laugh
Do i cry
Do i dare look in your eyes

Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' show
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime i look at you

You seem to be a bit distracted
I wish that i could feel the same
You never were too good at acting
Baby some things never change
I can't keep from letting go
It's something that i can't control

Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' show
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime i look at you

You stand there looking sweet and innocent
But how can you be so cruel and confident
At my expense

Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' show
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime i look at....

Oh no, here it goes
My hands start to shake
My heart's gonna' blow
Like the day we met
To the night you said we're through
Everytime i look at you

Oh yeah, everytime i look at you
