We Can Do It Again (One More Time) V1: Remember when we met and I was chasing my dream The road was never too tough for you and me Though we bathed in rivers and we slept in parking lots You never had a dollar, I never had a dime But we were deep in love and rich in time You gave your all to give me my best shot PC/CH: If we did it before, we can do it again, I know If we did it before, we can do it again, I know One more time, before the sunlight slips away One more time, before tomorrow becomes today One more time, don’t let the spark die in your heart 'Cause it’s never too late to start something new V2: Well, trying to settle down hasn’t gone like we planned I know you feel like you're stuck in the sand And sinking deeper with every passing week But behind my socks in the back of the closet There’s an old shoebox with your name on it Where I kept the dreams you set aside when you met me PC/CH: If we did it before, we can do it again, I know If we did it before, we can do it again, I know One more time, before the sunlight slips away One more time, before tomorrow becomes today One more time, don’t let the spark die in your heart 'Cause it’s never too late to start something new V3: So tune up your guitar, pack up the van With the double sleeping bag, peanut butter and jam It's your time to shine, mine to be your backup man You still don’t have a dollar, I still don’t have a dime But if you got the moxie, I got the time We may die broke, but at least we will die free PC/CH: If we did it before, we can do it again, I know If we did it before, we can do it again, I know One more time, before the sunlight slips away One more time, before tomorrow becomes today One more time, don’t let the spark die in your heart 'Cause it’s never too late to start one more time One more time, one more time, one more time

If You Knew How the Story Would End V1: I remember in the pre-dawn fog beside the river Dad shoved me off, then he jumped in He seldom spoke when we were in that boat But when he did, his words sunk right in So as the falling oak leaves Buried my footprints like snowflakes in the wind I asked my father, “Would you do it all again If you knew how the story would end? ‘Cause I’m standing in the same place where you stood back then” CH: Would you go to Saigon Take a bullet in the arm Would you sell the family farm When the mill shut down Would you marry my mother Stay together for the kids Would you make all the sacrifices I know you did Well, I asked my father, “Would you do it all again If you knew how the story would end?” Oh, If you knew how the story would end BR: I climbed up the hill in the pouring rain Where the old oak tree still stood Where my height and name at nine years old Were still carved in the wood And I let fly at the top of my lungs a prayer to the angry wind Do you know how the story will end? Oh, Can you tell me how the story will end? V2: I’ve been slogging down the hard road for so long But will it all be worth it in the end Should I push on around one more bend Or give up and start over again? As I rowed that boat across the water Where we caught the bass above his desk in the den I asked my father, “Would you do it all again?” As I scattered his ashes to the wind Oh, as I scattered his ashes to the wind CH: Would you go to Saigon Take a bullet in the arm Would you sell the family farm When the mill shut down Would you marry my mother Stay together for the kids Would you make all the sacrifices I know you did Well, I asked my father, “Would you do it all again If you knew how the story would end?” Oh, If you knew how your story would end

It's absurd that one word Can make so much difference Just one breath in the night Like a little brown bird, you’re seldom heard Over the din of indifference But you’re a star in my dark sky So tell me, are you serious? Are you serious? Are you serious, tonight? I’m trying to figure out what you mean To read between the lines My heart is tearing at the seams Stuck between I don’t know where we’ll go But I know we’ll find someplace better If you put your hand in mine And tell me, are you serious? Are you serious? Are you serious, tonight? Like the sun, you’re just one Grain of salt spilled on a black tabletop A faint flicker of light Flashing through me like wind, you’re hard to pin down Like a drum in the distance But you fan my fire back to life So tell me, are you serious? Are you serious? Are you serious, tonight? I’m trying to figure out what you mean To read between the lines My heart is tearing at the seams Stuck between I don’t know where we’ll go But I know we’ll find someplace better If you put your hand in mine And tell me are you serious? Are you serious? Are you serious, tonight? We can figure the rest out, ooh yeah We can figure the rest out, do do do da do We can figure the rest out If you’re serious. If you’re serious If you’re serious, tonight Are you serious? Tell me, are you serious? Are you serious, tonight?

VERSE 1: We've given all that we can; worn the tires off this van From Atlanta to L.A. Just one show left to go back at Cotton-Eyed Joe's Where I first ran into you that day So turn up that radio dial; we've still got eighty more miles Before our weary heads can sleep In the glovebox you'll find some old tapes of mine, honey Play Patsy Cline for me CHORUS 1: 'Cause maybe we're crazy for living like we do, but I don't know any other way Maybe we're crazy for living like we do, but I'm still crazy for you Ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh. Ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh. Oh, I'm still crazy for you. Still crazy for you VERSE 2: When we've wrung all the rhymes out of "Old Lang Syne" When the last call has come and gone Will you sway with your cheek next to mine on those creaky old pines And softly hum along? 'Cause when that red neon sign flickers out the last time When the tables are all wiped clean Put one more dime in that jukebox, honey Play Patsy Cline for me CHORUS 2: 'Cause maybe we're crazy for living like we do But I don't know any other way Maybe we're crazy for living like we do But I'm still crazy for you BRIDGE: Does love need change to grow and thrive? Can it strain without breaking? 'Cause with every chance we take We are changed by the taking CHORUS 3: And maybe we're crazy for living like we do, but I don't know any other way Maybe we're crazy for living like we do, but I'm still crazy for you Ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh. Ooh, ooh, hoo, ooh. Oh, I'm still crazy for you Still crazy for you
