1 | I Can’t Feel The Rain | 3:30 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Brad Crisler/Marty Dodson) The heavens opened up the bottoms falling outI must be soaking wet it’s pouring down Everybody staring at me like I’m crazy as they run for coverI guess the worlds still turning round but here I stand How can you hurt so badThat you can’t taste the painHow can you be so numbYour eyes won’t cryYour heart gives upMy lips are movingI’m screaming out your nameThere’s no soundI can’t feel the rain Part of me just wants so bad to start to feelMost of me is scared to death someday I will It’s hard to figure out what’s trueWhen you know the truth just can’t be realI guess the worlds still turning round but here I stand |

2 | That’s How We Did It | 2:51 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/John Edwards) John Cougar in the cassetteWe were lighting up our cigarettesNow and then skipping schoolActing tough and defining cool Firebird on a gravel roadT tops off that’s how we rollMeet your friends at the barnParty down on the farm We let the good times rollThat’s how we did itMade it up as we’d goThat’s how we lived itRocking out to hurt so goodMaking out on the hoodWasting time because we couldThat’s how we did it Pickup trucks pulled in the yardCountry girls and southern starsTap the keg do a standParty hard was the plan Break up a fight make some loveIt was just another night to usDrink too much then pass outWake up drunk on the couch |

3 | It’s Only Lonely | 3:44 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Randy Montana/Alex Dooley) I wake up in a cold, cold sweatDrowning and I can’t catch my breathReaching out but empties all I feelShadows dancing on the wallHearing footsteps down the hallWondering if any of this is realThe wind still blows with the windows closedAnd then your perfume fills the room I try to tell myself it’s all in my headWhile your memories sleeping in our bedI hear voices and they scream your nameIt’s getting to the point I’m going insaneI can’t break freeI can’t believeIt controls meCause I know it’s only lonely Try and go on with the day to dayJust forget this mess I made of myselfBut I can’t turn it offKills me when I reminisceThinking back to our first kissI can’t let go of everything I lostAnd when I get home you’ll still be goneBut your perfume fills the room |

4 | This Ones For Me | 4:37 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Mark Narmore) Made a call to yesterdaySomething tugging at my heartA demon back in seventh gradeMe and Jesus fought him hardBlacked his eye & bloodied his noseHe cried all the way homeI finally got him on the line after all this time He saidI don’t need your apologyBut I appreciate your sympathyI’m ok I been fine no it aint crossed my mind in an eternityWe all do things were not proud ofBut I believe we can rise aboveHe said your kind words though they’re nice to be heardI’m already freeI said no this ones for me How you been, your looking goodYeah it’s been awhileSince summer love a riverbankIts good to see your smileI was foolish I was youngBut we did what had to be doneAnd I hope you can forgive me somehowSo I can put this behind me nowShe saidI don’t need your apologyBut I appreciate your sympathyI’m ok I been fine no it aint crossed my mind in an eternityWe all do things were not proud ofBut I believe we can rise aboveHe said your kind words though they’re nice to be heardI’m already freeI said no this ones for me Up here on this stage tonight with my guitarBearing my soul and pouring out my heartI hope you know I usually write my songs for you Please don’t take this as vanityBut this song is my therapyI’m ok I’ll be fineI just needed these lines and this melodyWe all do things that were not proud ofBut I believe we can rise aboveAnd that place in my heartThat once was so dark has been set freeAnd I know this one for me |

5 | Higher Than The Steeple | 3:48 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Kevin Denney/Alex Dooley) There’s still countryOn both sides of that city limit signYou can see that crossFrom every corner of the county lineDown town main streetWhere the sinners and god meet There’s two lanes coming inThere’s two lanes going outThe church right off the squareWhere are faith revolves aroundIf you blink you’ll drive right thruIf you don’t you’ll see a fewHard working honest as the day is long peopleThat don’t put nothingHigher than a steeple They rebuilt the bankAnd the courthouse when that tornado hitIf the devil was aimingFor that pulpit I’ll tell you man he missedDown town main streetWhere the sinners and god meet and There’s a bunch of dots like us all over your Rand McNally mapYou cant loose yourself if you know where you’re at There’s still countryOn both sides of that city limit sign |

6 | Drive It Like You Stole It | 3:03 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Garrett Parris) Well you finally got that breakYou’ve been waiting forYeah you finally got that boot in the doorAll those years of being brokeAll the tears and broken heartsNow your finding out that’s just the easy partWell now you got your wishes so what you gonna doSitting in the driver’s seat and every eye’s on you You better drive it like you stole itHit the hole like it’s fourth and goalYou better take it like you own itHit the stage and then steal the showThis is your momentYou better grab hold itAnd drive it like you stole it Go head and take a momentTo enjoy the viewLong enough to catch a breath or twoBut you didn’t come this farJust to say you didNo you didn’t come this far to quitAll our time is borrowed and life it is a giftThis body’s just a rental before you leave it in the ditch Like it’s a high-speed chaseBlue lights in your mirrorNo time to wasteYou better get it in gear |

7 | I’m Leaving You For Him | 3:58 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Shaun Ames) He said what the hell is going onAs he opened up the bedroom doorShe closed that suitcase on the bedAnd said I cant do this anymoreYou’re not the only man in my lifeI must confessMy love for him is stronger thanThat whiskey that’s always on your breath She said I’m leaving you for himEven thoughHe reminds me of youAnd I can’t sit here and pretendThat you’ll ever beThe man that I once knewHis anger turned to tearsAnd he just stood there stunnedAs she walked to the babies bedPicked up their son and saidI’m leaving you for him There’s two bottles in the fridgeI left them there, right where you can see themOne is yours and one is hisBut they’re the reason why I’m leavingI can’t sit around waitFor you to decideWhich one you would give up onTo have the other in your life He cussed the whisky pouring it outSwearing never againHe threw that bottle on the groundAnd said I’m leaving you for him |

8 | I’ll Quit When Willie Does | 2:51 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Randy Montana/Alex Dooley) This old bar scene it aint my thingI’d rather be rolled up on the picking on an old gut stringI might get criticizedI might get a little red eyedWill get along a whole lot betterOnce you realize Ill quit when Willie doesGo ahead and fire one upGet a little puff puff passHey buddy stay off my grassYou can either get downYou can get outOr you can shut the hell upIll quit when Willie does 75 years strongOld hippies and country songsThat’s why they made a statue of him made of stoneWeather he’s wrong or rightI bet he’s on stage tonightDoing what he loves and so am I |

9 | Too Many Tomorrows | 3:07 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Alex Dooley) Pick up the piecesScatter the ashesThings I couldn’t do yesterdayTrying to rememberEvery conversationBut all I hear is what I didn’t say Maybe tomorrowI can wake up from this painMaybe tomorrowI can catch my breath againMaybe tomorrowWon’t be like yesterdayCause I cant take to many tomorrows like today I’ve given up on getting thru the nightI just let the darkness have its wayI know the sun won’t bring you backBut it can’t hurt worse to pray The blood that runs thru my veins is cryingAnd I hate this feelingIf I could stop this emotion for a momentI could start the healing |

10 | The Difference | 2:54 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Eric Erdman) You can tell your selfIt aint your faultWhen you don’t hit the markThey’re always somethingIn your wayYou don’t know how right you are You are the difference between your dreams and your realityAint nobody stopping you from what you want to do except youYou are the difference betweenWhat you are and what you want to be I’ve heard you sayIf you had the chanceBut it’s just not in the cardsThat’s just one more excuseYou useTo keep you where you are You are the difference between your dreams and your realityAint nobody stopping you from what you want to do except youYou are the difference betweenWhat you are and what you want to be From where I stand it couldn’t be any clearerHow come you can’t see it on that side of the mirror?Where you are |

11 | This Close To Home | 3:56 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Tony Ramey) She keeps up a routine, to keep from pulling out her hairA little milk for her morning coffee from the fridgeAny other day he’d come running down the stairsWhen the picture on the carton wasn’t hisShe’s does a whole lot more praying latelyAsking folks if they’ve seen her babyCause she knows how it isWhen it’s some one else’s kid When it hits that close to homeIf it’s some one that you knowGod forbid one of your ownYou see it in the papersAnd every time you turn the TV onIt’s never quite as real untilIt hits this close to home He didn’t have a single friend and no one seamed to careWhen it might have made a difference in his lifeThey all poked a little fun at the clothes he used to wearTo cover up the pain he felt insideRight now the details are to distortedBut the local news has just reportedHe came to school this morningWith a loaded forty five When it hits that close to homeIf it’s some one that you knowGod forbid one of your ownYou see it in the papersAnd every time you turn the TV onIt’s never quite as real untilIt hits this close to home I guess we always tell ourselvesIt always happens somewhere elseAt least that’s what I thought the day those towers fell |

12 | It’s Only My Heart | 2:33 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Randy Montana) You act so nonchalantBut I know what you wantYou know you want to abuse meYou act so insecureBut deep down I know you’re sureYou can’t refuse meSo tear it apart It’s right here waitingIt’s not complicatedJust like a stolen carGo head and take itIt’s yours for the breakingIt’s only my heart Don’t act like you don’t love meYou say you just don’t trust meI think that you’re just scaredLove is a battlefieldFace first thru the windshieldBaby I’m preparedTo live with the scars ChorusOn your lipsI taste the wordsThey want to be spokenIts only skinIts only bonesTheir made to be broken |

13 | Say It Like You Mean It | 4:13 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Shaun Ames) When you say you love me it feels like your just going thru the motionsThere’s no passion in your eyes, behind your kiss there’s no emotionWe hardly talk at allSeams we never touchBaby I need to know Weather you love me, or you hate meEven if you want to walk away from me babyI want to hear what you got to sayWeather you’re staying or if you’re goingGet it out in the openPour your heart out either wayIf you’re still in loveMake me believe itSay it like you mean it I don’t know if you’ve reached the place where you’ve stopped caringBut at some point somewhere along the way we both stopped sharingHow we really feelHow long has it beenBaby do you even know I’m holding on I’m reaching outCause I want to know without a doubt |

14 | Cash Crop | 2:58 | Read Lyrics |
(Jami Grooms/Shaun Ames/Brandon Tidwell) My daddy worked this farm his daddy worked it toI thought I lost it all back in the drought of 92The sun came and turned my landDamn near into desert sandI found myself a brand new plan Talking about my cash cropIt’s all homegrown cashing in on the seeds I’ve sownJust trying to give the people what they wantTalking about my cash cropRolling it in making a living off of supply and demandGuess you could say my future going up in smoke A buddy of mine hooked me up with the tools to get me startedI hadn’t had a crop this green in all my years of farmingMoney never smelt so sweet out drying in the barnSee I found a way to keep the farm I never finished school but I got a higher educationMy daddy would still be proudDespite my occupation |
