The Things That Matter

Vince Gill The Things That Matter歌詞
1.Oklahoma Borderline

作詞:Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell, Vincent Gill

Well, it's rainin' down in Houston
And I got holes in both my shoes
Baby's put me on the street
She says, 'I'm through with you'

But she thinks I'm gonna miss her
Someone tell her that she's wrong
I'm goin' back to Oklahoma, boys
'Cause that's where I belong

I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on, Oklahoma borderline

If we roll all night
She'll be comin' into sight
Come on, Oklahoma borderline

Well, now I don't need no Texas, girl
Doggin' me around
I may be an Okie, son
But I've still been to town

Well, those Oklahoma City girls
They always treat you right
Well, tell mama and them that I'm comin' home
And I'm leavin' out tonight

I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on, Oklahoma borderline

If we roll all night
She'll be comin' into sight
Come on, Oklahoma borderline

So with two bucks in my pocket
And my thumb stuck in the wind
When I cross Red River, boys
I won't be back again

Give me old back roads and truck stops
And 18 wheels that whine
And some good ol' boy to take me
To that Oklahoma line

I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on, Oklahoma borderline

If we roll all night
She'll be comin' into sight
Come on, Oklahoma borderline

I caught a one good ride
She's comin' into sight
Hello, Oklahoma borderline


2.Colder Than Winter

作詞:Vincent Grant Gill

It's colder than winter
Right here in my heart
Lord, I'm gonna miss her
She's torn me apart

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

It's colder than winter
I'm freezin' inside
And my tears won't be bitter
Even though our love died

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you anymore
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

Every time the sun sets
I shed another tear
And the lonelier I get
Wishing you were still here

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door


3.With You

作詞:Vincent Gill

I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around with you
Just think of the things we'd do
Baby, just me and you
My heart could finally be true with you

With you and you with me
Is all that I can see
It ain't no mystery
I long to always be with you
With you, what a dream we'd do

I see you in every dream
Girl in my eyes, you're a queen
My happiness you could bring with you
So what are you waitin' on
Just say the word and we're gone
I'll be right where I belong with you

With you and you with me
Is all that I can see
It ain't no mystery
I long to always be with you

Oh darling
So in love with you
I'll keep on callin'
'Til you make my dream come true

I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around with you

Just you
Just you and me, baby
What a dream with you
Just you

I wanna be with just you
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be with you, baby
Oh I wanna be with you
Just you and me, baby


4.Ain't It Always That Way

作詞:Dave Loggins

I took a chance, took a fall
Waited on love till I could give it my all
Then I let my heart fly
Took a rose to her door
Stood there like a statue just sort of frozen by her presence
But I shied

Ain't it always that way
When you want to believe
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need
Ain't it always that way
When you want to rely
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need and you cry

Yes and then I took a space out of time
I don't wanna sound like a thief but the moment was mine
And I stole it, it felt right
I took a chance, I took a fall
Waited on love until I could give it my all
Then I let my heart fly

Ain't it always that way
When you want to believe
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need
Ain't it always that way
When you want to rely
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need and you cry

Ain't it always that way
When you want to believe
Ain't it always that way
When you want and you need and you cry


5.Savannah (Don't You Ever Think of Me)

作詞:Vincent Grant Gill

Do you ever think of me
When you lay your head down?
Do you ever think of me
When he ain't around?

Do you ever wonder why
Our love couldn't be?
Ever since you said goodbye
Do you ever think of me?

Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah

Do you ever see my face
In your new lover's eyes?
Has my memory been erased
Am I out of your life?

I still remember our first night
We made love so tenderly
So when he doesn't hold you right
Do you ever think of me?

Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah

If he ever lets you down
Happiness just can't be found
I'll still be here hangin' 'round
Savannah

Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)

Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)

Savannah
(Do you ever think of me?)
...


6.If It Weren't for Him

作詞:Rosanne Cash, Vincent Gill

If she'd only knew what I was thinking
If she'd only knew what was in my head
Why can't she see my heart is breaking?
She'd be mine if it weren't for him

So many times, I dreamed I had her
I call her name when I lay down
Still I can't learn to live without her
Jealous heart is all I found

See your face but you're not destiny
Now I won't take what you can give to me
This lonely place is all I hope to find
If it weren't for him then you'd be mine

If he'd only knew what I was thinking
If he'd only knew what was in my head
Why can't he see my heart is breaking?
He'd be mine if it weren't for him
You'd be mine if it weren't for him


7.She Don't Know

作詞:Vincent Gill

Only a memory this morning
My baby up and walked away
In my heart the tears keep pouring
She left with so much to say

She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will

I can't sleep, I've gotta find her
I've got to make her understand
Although another love may bind her
No one can love her like I can

She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will

She don't know whose heart she's breaking
She don't know my dream lies still
She don't know how much she's taking
She don't know and never will

She don't know
(She don't know)
She don't know
(She don't know)
She don't know
(She don't know)
