"It Ain't Just Music" Song Lyrics

My Love Will Take You Farther
(J. Jones)

You make it hard to be realistic
Fill my head with irrational thoughts
It'd be easier to give in to this feeling
To forget about what patience I've got
Oh and right now, it's not a lot...

Chorus
I wanna be the man who wakes you and puts a smile on your face
I wanna hold you close and not let go 'til this world's a better place
When you wish I wanna be your star
When your dreams can only go so far
When you push and you can't push it any harder
My love will take you farther

Let's take a drive, do something crazy
Light a fire on some sandy beach
We can run off and get married in some chapel
Or just sing and dance until we fall asleep
Oh yeah, that sounds good to me

(Chorus)

Solo

(Chorus)

Hard Rain
(J. Jones/B. Jones)

Picked up his duffle bag, climbed up on that bus
Left his hometown girl in a cloud of dust
Every Sunday he'd call her from a payphone
Went out and did his thing, motels and guitar strings
One month turned into two and when the tour was through
The house was cold and empty when he got back home
Yeah a hard rain, washed out a gravel road

Chorus
If you treat somebody like that
They won't be waiting when you get back
Cause time's got a way of changing everything you know
And a hard rain washes out a gravel road

It happened in a car with a boy she'd met
She cried her eyes out when she took the test
Gave her baby girl to a foster home
Sixteen years went by and she changed her mind
She finally tracked her down and she took the drive
But there's not much to say to someone you've never know
Yeah a hard rain washed out a gravel road

(Chorus)

Bridge
She's trying to cross a bridge that's burned
Two broken hearts, one lesson learned
Don't leave your love out on some lonesome highway

(Chorus)

Yeah a hard rain washes out a gravel road...

A Place Down in Georgia
(B. Jones)

They mis-spelled my name on the sign that says I'm playin' here tonight
When you've been singin' your heart out it's hard to describe what that feels like
But mama calls me every Sunday, asks what's been goin' on
How my songs are doin' and when I'm comin' home

Chorus
There's a place down in Georgia, where they treat me like a king
There's a girl who still wants me if I fall short of this dream
So if this town don't need me and they tell me, pack my bags
There's a place down in Georgia that'll still take me back

The day I told my daddy, don't count on me to come back to his farm
All he said was son, go on up there and try to rope that star
And I told that girl the day I left, don't call me anymore
She could do better; I don't know what she's waitin' for

(Chorus)

Bridge
The only reason that I've come this far
Are those people south of here...dear to my heart

(Chorus)

Ohh...if this ol' town don't need me and they tell me, pack my bags
There's a place down in Georgia that'll always take me...back

Get to Me
(J. Jones/B. Pinson)

Take a job that don't pay near enough
Work it awhile until you've got enough
Nerve up to blow that town
Hit the road in your old hand me down car
Call your cousin tell her you'll be there by dark
Settle in and make some new friends
When that road ends, hit it again

(Chorus)
Take your time but hurry
Look around but don't end-up
Stuck somewhere you don't wanna be Live enough to know what life is
Be wrong enough to know what right is
See all the world you need to see
And then get to me

Write your number on a perfect stranger's hand
Love him 'til it comes to that dead end
Then try again, or don't
Tell yourself you're better off on your own
Watch some Saturday Night Live all alone
Until the nigtht the light comes on
You laugh out loud and you carry on

(Chorus)

Bridge
I know you're out there somewhere
Wonderin' where you went wrong
You gotta go through goin' nowhere
To get where you belong

(Chorus)

Leanin' on the Bar
(B. Jones)

Oh Billy's got a fist full of Miller Lite
And Bobby sees a girl he thinks he likes
But me, I like it right here where we are
Aw, tonight I'm leanin' on the bar

Have you ever felt like you couldn't win
Like the walls have teeth and the world is closin' in
Like the room is full of future broken hearts
Yeah, tonight I'm leanin' on the bar

Chorus
I'm gonna let those good times roll
And that whiskey flow
Smile at those pretty faces I won't ever know
I've found a sturdy friend
Underneathe that neon star
So tonight, I'm leanin' on the bar

Well that brunette's lookin' lonesome over there
And a big, tall beauty just pulled up a chair
But midnight drinkin' ain't no time to start
So tonight, I'm leanin' on the bar

(Chorus)

Solo

(Chorus)

Whatever You Want (Love Slave)
(J. Jones/D. Dixon)

Come on in baby, got the water warmed up just right
Couple candles burnin' and I already dimmed the lights
You can test the water with your little piggy toe
Don't mind me watchin' while you slip out of your robe
We ain't got no worries and we got no where to be tonight
I can wash your cares away
Make you forget about the day

Chorus
I'll be your love slave, anything you wanna do
Hot like a heat wave, makin' our love brand new
Don't have to behave, we're all alone me and you
It's a whatever you want rendezvous

Come on in the kitchen babe I'll cook us up something good
I'm not hungry either but the invitation's understood, mmm mmm
We'll skip the main course and go straight to dessert
Open up some wine so we can quench our thirst
Serve it up right just like a five-star restaurant would
Chocolate-covered or honey-glazed
It's all just icing on the cake

(Chorus)

Solo

Bridge
Lock the door and hide the key
We'll have some you and me therapy...yes indeed...I, I, I'll be...

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Everything Reminds Me of You
( J. Jones/S.D. Jones)

I gave my brother that stray we found
Quit my job and sold the house
I had to move away before I burned it down
Cause everything reminds me of you

This new apartment, it ain't so bad
I've made some friends and had a few laughs
But there's just one problem that I still have
Everything reminds me of you

Chorus
I wish you would tell me what else I can do
I've tried and I've tried but my heart can't be fooled
I've changed everything in my life I can change
But still everything reminds me of you

It's gettin' harder and harder to keep up this fight
I still reach out to hold you in the middle of the night
Even one cup of coffee is the loneliest sigtht
Cause everything reminds me of you

Chorus

I might as well face the cold hard truth
I'll never move on no matter what I do
How could I ever love someone new
When everything reminds me of you
Everything reminds me of you...
Everything reminds me...of you

Leavin' Lonely Behind
(J. Jones/J. Leblanc/B. Crisler)

I've often wondered why I always torture myself with my past
Re-livin' mistakes; the choices I've made 'til I'm flat on my back
Yeah I've been knocked down so many times
Gonna pick myself up...starting tonight...

Chorus
I'm leavin' lonly behind
I'm gettin' on with my life
And I'm lookin' forward to never lookin' back
I'm lettin' go of holdin' on
It's time I started singin' a new song
This heartache won't own me cause I'm leavin' lonely behind

Well I finally learned in love you get burned every once and a while
But you've got to keep goin', constantly rollin' mile after mile
There's a whole world out there waitin' on me
So much I haven't done, so much I've gotta see..

Chorus
I'm leavin' lonly behind
I'm gettin' on with my life
And I'm lookin' forward to never lookin' back
I'm lettin' go of holdin' on
It's time I started singin' a new song
This heartache won't own me cause I'm leavin' lonely behind

Solo

Half Chorus

Walk on Me
(J. Jones/C. Stapleton)

I ain't afraid I'm 'bout to lay my cards out on the table
I'll roll the dice I won't think twice if you are willin' and able
As the night gets longer I'm feelin' stronger cause I'm drinkin' doubles
Oh my Lord I can't afford you but you're my kind of trouble
The best things in this life are free
I ain't beggin' but I'm on my knees

Chorus:
Walk on me
Walk on me
I'd be a fool for you cause I'm a glutton for your lovin'
Please baby, baby, please baby walk on me
(Walk on me)

I guarantee that I'll believe about anything you wanna tell me
You won't have to try I'll gladly buy 'bout any lie you wanna sell me
We can pretend we're more than friends if that's what makes you feel better
It's up to you, you make the rules, I'll follow them down to the letter
And if you want me to hang around
I will gladly be your stompin' ground

(Chorus)

Tag
Right is right and fair is fair
If you don't love me then I won't care

Repeat Chorus

You're My Favorite
(J. Jones/B. Kirsch)

Like a melody that comes to me that I can't seem to shake
That book I've read a dozen times that still keeps me awake
That movie I've seen so much I know every single line
Of all the things that get me everytime...

Chorus
You're my favorite, you're my best
You're the reason my heart jumps out of my chest
You're my savior, you're my grace
You're the smile that I've been wearin' on my face
You're my favorite

I've see the perfect sunset paint the desert sky
A clear night on the ocean when the stars come alive
The snowfall in Wyoming just in time for Christmas day
Next to you they're just okay...

Chorus
You're my favorite, you're my best
You're the reason my heart jumps out of my chest
You're my savior, you're my grace
You're the smile that I've been wearin' on my face
You're my favorite

Instrumental

Chorus
You're my favorite, you're my best
You're the reason my heart jumps out of my chest
You're my savior, you're my grace
You're the smile that I've been wearin' on my face
You're my favorite

Love Life
(J. Jones/B. Jones)

If you don't smile at smilin' babies
If kissin' couples don't turn you on
If one red light drives you crazy
Maybe you've been alone too long

Chorus
Get a life, you need to get a love life
You need a long slow dance on a warm summer night
You need a kiss from someboyd with some candy lips
A little time down in paradise
You need to get a love life

If you've seen every Seinfeld re-run
And now your Friday night routine
Is feed the cat and order pizza
And read last year's People magazine then...

Chorus

Bridge
Don't know who you think you're foolin', while your heals are coolin'
There's somebody out there tearin' it up
Put the pretzels down, get your ass off the couch
Yeah and get you some, get you some, I'm talkin' 'bout love...

Chorus
Get a life, you need to get a love life
You need a long slow dance on a warm summer night
You need a kiss from someboyd with some candy lips
And if you think this song is bad advice
You need to get a love life

Yeah you need to get a love life...

It Ain't Just Music
(J. Jones/J. Fitz)

They say you choose your destiny
But I didn't choose mine, it chose me
Some think I'm out of my mind
I should get a real job, stop wastin' my time
But I know without question
It's not just an obsession

Chorus
Cause it's my drink and it's my drug, I can't ever get enough
It's more than words and more than rhyme
It's my life wrote down in time
It's my first love and my desire, the dream I chase and never get tired
I wake up knowing I was born to do this
No, it ain't just music

Everytime my heart's been broken
Every single word left unspoken
Happy, sad or just plain old confused
There's always a song to help me make it through
And anytime I lose my way
I just let that six string play...yeah...

Chorus

Solo

Bridge
It's my body, it's my soul
It's my high and it's my low...

Breakdown Chorus
Yeah to me, it ain't just music
