Lyrics:
And on second thought I guess I never did...
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
We'll drive for the line
Now there's nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts
Yeah
Yeah We'll drive for the line
Now there's nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts
Dreams fade hope dies hard
Cups her eyes and looks out at the stars
Says "I feel we've traveled very far"
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
We'll drive for the line
Now there's nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts
We'll drive for the line
Now there's nothing to be lost
You and I will cross over
With no second thoughts
Dreams fade hope dies hard
She cups her eyes and looks out at the stars
Says "I feel we've traveled very far"
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah ooh yeah yeah
Some-times a man does things without half thinkin'
And what I saw I did not under-stand
I called you names and said some things that hurt you
And in the heat I started walkin' out that door
But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my
Tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong --- I was
Wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with
I know it's not your fault that you're so pretty
And that you turn the head of every man --- I understand
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more
But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I be-long --- I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more
But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I be-long --- I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with
Yes you're the only one I'll always be in love with
A cold beer's got twelve ounces
A good truck's got maybe three hundred thousand
You only get so much until it's gone
Duracells in a Maglite
A needle drop on a forty-five
Are the kinda things that only last so long
When the new wears off and they get to getting old
Sooner or later, time's gonna take its toll
They say nothing lasts forever
But they ain't seen us together
Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes
Just a t-shirt in the kitchen
With no make-up and a million
Other things that I could look at my whole life
A love like that makes a man have second thoughts
Maybe some things last forever after all
FM station on the outskirts
Blue jeans after years of shift work
All fading out like I always knew they would
The strings on this guitar
The first love lost on a young heart
Those things are gonna break after the getting's good
'Cause the new wears off and they get to getting old
Yeah, sooner or later, time's gonna take its toll
They say nothing lasts forever
But they ain't seen us together
Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes
Just a t-shirt in the kitchen
With no make-up and a million
Other things that I could look at my whole life
A love like that makes a man have second thoughts
Maybe some things last forever after all
They say nothing lasts forever
But they ain't seen us together
Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes
And I know there'll be that moment
The good Lord calls one of us home and
One won't have the other by their side
But heaven knows that that won't last too long
Maybe some things last forever after all
After all
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
Or, wait a minute, maybe I do
If you don't mind I'll start a new line
And decide after thinkin' it through
Go on in front if you're in such a hurry
Like heaven ain't waitin' for you
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
On second thought, maybe I do
It's gettin' hard to watch my pals check out
Cuts like a wore out knife
One thing I learned about runnin' the road
Is forever don't apply to life
Waylon and Ray and Merle and old Norro
Lived just as fast as me
I still got a lotta good friends left
And I wonder who the next will be
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
Or, wait a minute, maybe I do
If you don't mind I'll start a new line
And decide after thinkin' it through
Go on in front if you're in such a hurry
Like heaven ain't waitin' for you
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
On second thought, maybe I do
Maybe we'll all meet again
On the other side
We'll pick and sing
Load up the buses and ride
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
Or, wait a minute, maybe I do
If you don't mind I'll start a new line
And decide after thinkin' it through
Go on in front if you're in such a hurry
'Cause hell is a-waitin' there too
I don't wanna be the last man standin'
On second thought, maybe I do
Yeah maybe I do
Yeah maybe I do
Yeah maybe I do
Some-times a man does things without half thinkin'
And what I saw I did not under-stand
I called you names and said some things that hurt you
And in the heat I started walkin' out that door
But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my
Tracks
And walk back into your arms where I belong --- I was
Wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with
I know it's not your fault that you're so pretty
And that you turn the head of every man --- I understand
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more
But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I be-long --- I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with
But when I saw you dancing with him I just lost it
I started thinkin' I don't love you any more
But on second thought I'll just turn a-round in my tracks
And walk back into your arms where I be-long --- I was wrong
On second thought I apologize for what I've done
'Cause you're the only one I'll always be in love with
Yes you're the only one I'll always be in love with
It's just a piece of paper,
It says, "In God We Trust"
A little sure felt good
But a lot was not enough
And everybody loved me when I was on a roll
And I thought I had everything
When I held the gold
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one
That I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives
And you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
Little white lies on a mirror
Cut neatly in a roll
Medicine that kept me from lookin' in my soul
I thought you were the answer
To all of my despair
And you almost had me six feet down
But I'm still breathin' air
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one
That I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives
And you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
From the cradle to the grave
Temptations all around
But no matter how good the fix
It's gonna take you down
Now some call it a weakness
Some call it a sin
But it's all the same behind each game
I see your evil grin
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one
That I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives
And you don't give a second thought
But you're not my god
And you're not my friend
You're not the one
That I will walk with in the end
You're not the truth
You're a temporary shot
You ruin people's lives
And you don't give a second thought
You're not my god
You're not my god
Oh oh oh you're not my god
You're not my god
Not my god
Not my god
You're not, you're not, you're not my god
No you're not
Starry nights city lights
Coming down over me
Skyscrapers, stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are
The waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
Lost and found, city bound in my dreams
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Forget me nots, second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails and fairy tales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Starry nights city lights
Coming down over me
Skyscrapers, stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are
The waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
Lost and found, city bound in my dreams
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Forget me nots, second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails and fairy tales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
On second thought, if I can find a clean shirt, I might.
You said you had no life of your own.
Movin' in was not too hard to do.
Ya got second thoughts; you're gonna have to choose.
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you.
When you see him
Tell him things are slow
There's a reason and he's sure to know
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I said hello
If he asks you when I come and go
Say I stay home 'cause I miss him so
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I said hello
Look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Maybe there's a spark to start another flame
Do I love him?
I'll go back to her where I'm wanted and maybe I can make up for the wrong
in spite of all I've done she still wants me so I'll go back to her where I belong
Walking out on her wasn't easy but without a second thought I left her there
I gave my all and did it all to please you but the more I seem to do the less you care
So I'll go back to her
Save the last dance for me
If your heart gets broken, just bring it to me
Promise, I'll be your last but not least
And when the party is over, you know where I'll be
Girl, I swear to love you when your hair's grey
Every single wrinkle on your face
Tryna figure out how you're still beautiful, oh, yeah
As years go by, I gain a little weight
And my vision starts to fade
I can still see the best of me in you, you
Know you think that we are the same
Before your second thought at giving love away
Save the last dance for me
If your heart gets broken, just bring it to me
Promise, I'll be your last but not least
And when the party is over, you know where I'll be
Save the last dance
Save the last dance
For me
When you hit the club, you stressin' all night
And your favorite drink don't even taste right
When you wanna run, you got nobody to run to, to
Everything is gonna be alright
'Cause I've been waitin' my whole life
So I could come and love the pain out of you, you
Know you think that we are the same
Before your second thought at giving love away
Save the last dance for me
If your heart gets broken, just bring it to me
Promise, I'll be your last but not least
And when the party is over, you know where I'll be
Save the last dance
Save the last dance
For me
Save the last dance
Save the last dance for me
If your heart gets broken, just bring it to me
Promise, I'll be your last but not least
And when the party is over, you know where I'll be
Save the last dance
Save the last dance
For me
Save the last dance
Save the last dance
Save the last dance
For me
All the women are crazy they like to party till daylight
On second thought if I can find a clean shirt I might
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
Listen to me people
I ain't got time to think about Money
Or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
What make the birdies fly
And I don't have time to think about
What makes the flowers grow
And I've never given it a second thought
To where the rivers flow
And I ain't got time for nothin' else
I ain't got time to discuss the weather
And how long it's going to last
And I ain't got time to do no studying
Once I get out of class
I'm telling you I'm just a fellow with a one track mind
And when it comes to thinkin' about
Anything but my baby
I just don't have the time
Oh yeah
And I ain't got time for nothin' else
Don't you know I, I'm thinking about my baby
I ain't got time for nothin' else
Yeah the world could ever match her wealth
She's some kinda wonderful
Got heaven right here on earth
'Cause I'm just a fellow with a one track mind
And when it comes to thinkin about
Anything but my baby
I just don't have the time
I'm too busy thinkin' about my baby
Oh I ain't got time for nothin' else
Too busy thinkin' about my baby
Ain't got time for nothing else
You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent
Silent
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind you've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me
Now you are here with me, no second thoughts
You've decided, decided
Past the point of no return
No backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end
Past all thought of if or when
No use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
What raging fire shall flood the soul?

When I was a young man, I had to kick and scratch and claw
Now it's like top gun in the Old West, everybody wants me to draw
If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second thought
But if someone had told me to give it up, it's a line that I wouldn't have bought
Look at me
I'm the great white hope
Can't you see
I'm up against the ropes
Don't you know
It's so hard to cope
When you feel
Like the great white hope
Now you've paid your money you're sitting in your ringside seat
And I know that some of you out there, might want to see the champ get beat
If I had known it would be like this I might have given it a second thought
But real life sure isn't like school, there's some lessons that just can't be taught
Look at me
I'm the great white hope
Can't you see
I'm up against the ropes
Don't you know
It's so hard to cope
When you feel
Like the great white hope
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
On second thought, if I can find a clean shirt, I might.
It was in the high school yearbook dated may of '55
We were voted the couple most likely to survive
Even teachers never doubted we were more than just friends
But your mama had some second thoughts back then
When you went off to nursing school I kept my job in town
To show your folks that I was old enough to settle down
When you came home for holidays we were happy without sin
But your mama had some second thoughts again
Does your mama know I'm rich and happy well almost that is
Has she ever said that maybe she was wrong
All she ever really wanted was to have the best in you
And that's all I ever really wanted too.
Faces, numbers I recognize
You don't fool me with cynical lies
No problems, no compromise, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Only solutions
Don't pull me down, I just want to hear
Only solutions
Oh, it won't be long, it won't take too long
Modern times drive me insane
Explanations I can't explain
Leaves me standing in the rain, oh yeah
Solving mysteries with nothing to lose
Magic leaves you without any clues
There's only so much one man can do, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Only solutions
Don't pull me down, I just want to hear
Now that the sun is shining
Clear vision, clear vision
In the jungle I run tonight
Find no peace to logical life
No confusion, just wrong or right, oh yeah
Faces, numbers I recognize
You don't fool me with cynical lies
No problems, no compromise, oh yeah
Only solutions
It's my point of view
Only solutions
Oh, clear vision
Only solutions
No second thoughts
Only solutions
No, no, no contradictions
People reason
People reason
No escape
