Not Anytime Soon (Michael
Krejci)
Divided Sky Music-BMI © 2002
Every song I sing reminds me of you
And every time I sing it baby I wish that you knew
Every sweet melody that’s stuck inside my head
If only you could hear it, as if it were something I’d said
And if you knew the way I felt I don’t
know what you’d do
One of these days I swear baby I’ll tell you the truth
But not anytime soon
Every poem I write, I have you in mind
Every single stanza, every simple rhyme
Every waking sunrise and every shooting star
Gives me hope that someday I can have your heart
And if you knew the way I felt I don’t know what you’d do
One of these days I swear baby I’ll tell you the truth
But not anytime soon
I've got something to tell you, I've got something to say
Been holdin’ it in for so long I can’t wait another
day
I've never seen another girl as beautiful as you
Baby you make my gray skies bluer than blue
And now you know the way I feel I don’t
know what you’ll do
There I said it, there I did I told you the truth . . . I
love you
Anymore

I
can't hide the way I feel about you anymore
I can't hold the hurt inside and keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My
tear's no longer waiting
My resistance ain't that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore
Let
me make one last appeal
To show you how I feel about you
'Cause there's no one else I swear
Who holds a candle anywhere next to you
My heart can't take the beating
Not having you to hold
A small voice keeps repeating deep inside my soul
It says I can't keep pretending I don't love you anymore
I've
got to take a chance or let it pass by
If I expect to get on with my life
My
tear's no longer waiting
My resistance ain't that strong
And my mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore
Yeah I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore
North Carolina Girl

There’s a girl from North Caroline
She's got long brown hair and pretty green eyes
Oh what I’d give to make her mine
We ain’t talked but a time or two
But it didn’t take long before I knew
That she was the one for me
Can’t go a day without
thinkin' about her
And every night I fall asleep and dream . . .
'Bout climbin’ a mountain, swingin’ a
hammer
Buildin’ a mansion on a hill
Livin’ happily ever, ever after with that North Carolina
girl . . .
North Carolina
girl
The sun’s comin’ up and the rooster’s
crowin’
It’s summer time and the crops are growin’
There’s a barn dance on Saturday night
Got my boots spit-shined and my old straw
hat
She’ll be lookin’ good in her cotton dress
When the moon is right, gonna make my move
And I’ll whisper sweet nothings in her ear
Hold her close so no one else will hear . . .
'Bout climbin’ a mountain, swingin’ a hammer
Buildin’ a mansion on a hill
Livin’ happily ever, ever after with this North Carolina
girl . . .
North Carolina
girl
Summer's turned to fall and we’re makin’
plans
Got a wedding ring and a piece of land
Gonna ask for her hand
And I’ll take her to a place nobody knows
Yeah, down by that old fork road
Where I’ll climb that mountain, and swing
that hammer
And build that mansion on a hill
We’ll live happily ever, ever after
Just me and my
Carolina
girl . . . North Carolina girl
Santa Fe, New Mexico

There's
no more I love you in my song
And there's no more waking up at the crack of dawn to tell you how good you look
And there's no more dreaming of the day you said hello
I just wanted you to know . . .
That
I'm on my way, I'm headed to Santa Fe
Where the mountains touch the sky
The desert will dry my eyes
And don't look behind
I just had to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico
I'm
gonna miss all of your lies
Even gonna miss that old disguise that I fell for
But before long they'll all be in the back of my mind
All I need is time
And
I'm on my way, headed to Santa Fe
Where the mountains touch the sky
The desert will dry my eyes
So don't look behind
I just had to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico
Now
I'm about half way to where I want to be
Five hundred miles from Santa Fe, she's five hundred miles from me
Don't
think I'll be staying up late tonight
Don't think she'll be calling this motel to say everything's alright
'Cause there's no more mention of our future anymore
It's time to hit the road
So
I'm on my way, I'm headed to Santa Fe
Where the mountains touch the sky
That desert will dry my eyes
Don't look behind 'cause I just had to go to Sante Fe, New Mexico
If It Weren't For You
(Michael Krejci)
Divided Sky Music-BMI © 2006
I can’t believe my eyes
Isn’t that what you said you’d never do?
You’re lucky I’m not with you
If I was I’d break you right in two
Because you made me this way
And I wouldn’t say the things that I say . . . if it weren’t for you
Looking back on everything
Well there ain’t nothing I care to recall
Whatever good we had
Baby you just burned it all
And you made it that way
And I wouldn't have wasted another day . . . if it weren’t for you
You did this to me, yeah you made it this
way
And maybe, just maybe you could place the blame . . . if it weren’t for you
If it wasn't for you, yeah hell's waiting for you
The Answer To It All
(Michael Krejci)

I'm
tryin' to find the answer to it all
I just don't know where to go
Sometimes you think you know it all
Sometimes you take the fall
Do you recall the day you said I do?
Do you recall that day I sure do
Another town,
another night alone
Been tryin' to call about a hundred times
She won't pick up the phone
Who would've known that she'd say goodbye?
Who would've known, surely not I
And I know
you said that we were through
And those are the last words that rang true
But I'm still fallin', fallin' for you
Baby, baby, baby I'm still in love with you
Here I am at
a fork in the road
Still stuck on your love and not sure where to go
What I'd give just to have some company
An angel for a day, come sit next to me
Would you be my girl again?
Yes I'll be your man if I can
And I know
you said that we were through
And those are the last words that rang true
But I'm still fallin', fallin' for you
Baby, baby, baby I'm still in love with you
I'm still fallin', fallin' for you
I'm still in love with you
I'm tryin' to
find the answer to it all
I just don't know where to go
Out Of The Blue
(Michael Krejci)
Divided Sky Music-BMI © 2005
I’m sittin' here wonderin' what to do
Are you thinking of me, I'm thinking of you
But I don’t know exactly what it means
So many things are weighin' on my mind
Just for once if I could leave them behind and get on with my daydreams
But you’re five hundred miles away in
Mississippi
And if I come and baby when I go, are you gonna miss me?
'Cause out of the blue you caught my eye
Took me completely by surprise
The one I never knew, like a dream come true . . . out of the blue
It’s gettin’ late and we’re still up
I could use some sleep but I can’t get enough
Of what you have to say
And if the same goes for you, well that’s
just fine
Sometimes I wish I could read your mind so this feeling deep inside doesn’t go
away
If I leave right now I could be there by the
morning
If it were up to me girl, I’d give you no warning . . .
And out of the blue I’d catch your eye
Take you completely by surprise
The one you never knew, like a dream come true . . . out of the blue
Yeah, out of the blue you caught my eye
Like a falling star you lit up the night
If only for a second that would be alright
'Cause you’re something brand new . .I'm not used to . . . like a dream come
true
Out of the blue
Southbound on 65 (Michael
Krejci)
Divided Sky Music-BMI © 2006
I
drive up on Friday just to see your pretty face
And if we both get lucky, I might get an extra day
Drive home on Monday morning while the birds are still asleep
Gotta' get to work and face another week
Oh
the leaves are a turnin', there's a song in my head
I can't believe just an hour ago I was lyin' in your bed
Got this dog in my lap and she's missing you too
If we could we'd turn around and head straight back to you
But
I'm southbound on 65 just burnin' up the road
Layin' this pedal down as fast as it will go
And just so you know . . .
I love you as much as I say I do
And that's the truth
Well
the days drag by, oh they seem like years
And I can't help but shed a couple of tears
'Cause I need to see you more than I do
If this is gonna work, well then it's gotta take two
So
why aren't you southbound on 65 just burnin' up the road?
Layin' that pedal down as fast as it will go
Just so I know that you love me as much as you say you do
Oh I'm startin' to see right through
Five
thousand miles and one broken heart later
I can't help but love her, I can't help but hate her
I've never gone so far for something I couldn't see
Guess she'll always be a mystery to me
And
every time I'm southbound on 65 I hear her angel voice
I break down and lose control for I have no choice
'Cause now I know she didn't love me like she said she did
Long Gone

You don’t have to tell me it’s alright
And you don’t have to tell me that we’re fine
I can hear it in your voice when you call
Yeah, by now I can tell something’s wrong
And baby, we’re long gone
I remember when we talked about forever
We swore we would never ever part
But that was then and this is now
You’ve changed your tune, you’re singin’ a different song
And baby, we’re long gone
We’re long gone and it ain’t sinkin’
in
I’m so lost I don’t know where to begin
And I still love you, so how can we be friends
We're
long gone and it ain't sinkin' in
We're long gone just like dust in the wind
But I still love you, so how can we be friends
Not sure just how I’m gonna survive
I’m barely hangin’ on, just gettin’ by
Never thought our love would come to this
Yeah I hung on for so long
But baby, we’re long gone
Yeah baby, we're long gone
Sick & Tired
(Michael Krejci)
Divided Sky Music-BMI © 2006
Hey baby, how about
givin' me my number back?
The way you’re acting makes me sorry that you ever even asked
So what do you say we give up now and end our evil ways?
It started out so innocent, now I can’t believe what we have to say
And I’m tired of what you put me through
and I’m tired of the pain
I’m breaking inside time and time and time again
Oh I'm tired, so sick and tired
If I had a dime for every second that you
made me believe
I’d be on some distant shore washed away in your memory
And I’m sick of all the days I let you walk all over me
Sick of the pain, the hurt and all the misery
Yeah, I’m tired of what you put me through
and I’m tired of the pain
I’m breaking inside time and time and time again
Oh I'm tired, so sick and tired
So what do you say we give up now and end
our evil ways?
It started out so innocent, now there’s nothing left to say
Except I’m tired of what you put me
through and I’m tired of the pain
I’m standing my ground now that you’ve gone away
Oh I’m tired, so sick and tired
Countin' Down The Days
(Michael Krejci)
Divided Sky Music-BMI © 2003
You're all
the way in Pennsylvania
And I'm right here in Tennessee
There's not much I can do to change things
'Cause there ain't no place I'd rather be
Then watchin'
the southern sun come up
And singin' in the rain
But just so you know
I'm countin' down the days 'til I see you again
I know I
hardly even know you
But so far I like what I've seen
And maybe someday we'll be together
But for now I'm chasin' down a dream
So I'll just
write about you and call every now and then
And just so you know
I'm countin' down the days 'til I see you again
I had a dream
just yesterday and we were workin' on the farm
Watchin' the northern sun go down back behind the barn
Well I ain't
asking you for nothin'
You don't have to change your plans for me
'Cause it ain't even really up to us
If it's meant to be it's meant to be
So go on your
own way
But you know where I stand
And oh baby, I'm countin' down the days 'til I see you again
