(Now) ('Cause) (Oh, oh) I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets (done)
(Ooh, ah yeah)
(Don't knock on my door)
(Oh)
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Tell me why
You gotta make me, make me
Make me, make me, make me cry, oh Lord
If I told you once
I told you a thousand times
You can't knock me off my feet
When I'm already on my knees
(Now) ('Cause) (Oh, oh) I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets (done)
(Ooh, ah yeah)
(Don't knock on my door)
(Oh)
Oh, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Tell me how
You think you're gonna live without my love now
I don't know why you gotta keep comin' around
Creepin' up my street
But boy, you can't bother me
(Now) ('Cause) (Oh, oh) I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage gets (done)
(Ooh, ah yeah)
(Don't knock on my door)
(Oh)

All-American Girl
Since the day they got married
He'd been praying for a little baby boy
Someone he could take fishing
Throw the football and be his pride and joy
He could already see him holding that trophy
Taking his team to State
But when the nurse came in with a little pink blanket
All those big dreams changed
And now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet little beautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American girl
Sixteen short years later
She was falling for the senior football star
Before you knew it he was dropping passes
Skipping practice just to spend more time with her
The coach said "Hey son, what's your problem?
Tell me, have you lost your mind?"
Daddy said "You'll lose your free ride to college
Boy you better tell her goodbye"
But now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet little beautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American
And when they got married and decided to have one of their own
She said "Be honest, tell me what you want?"
And he said "Honey, you wanna know
Sweet, little, beautiful, one just like you
Oh, a beautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American"
Now he's wrapped around her finger
She's the center of his whole world
And his heart belongs to that sweet little beautiful, wonderful, perfect all-American girl
All American girl
He'd been praying for a little baby boy

So Small
Yeah, Yeah
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
its okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
but don't run out on your faith
'cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small
it's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
while you siting 'round thinking 'bout what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you cant get it back
sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else seem so small
sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
is just a grain of sand
and what you've been up there searching for forever
is in your hands
oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else...
oh it sure makes everything else seem so small
Yeah, Yeah
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away

Just a Dream
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white, going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in her shoe
Something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down trying to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldn't believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hands
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord, please lift his soul and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up
And sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded-up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been
And then guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me

Oh, this is just a dream

Get Out of This Town
Got it all figured out inside of my head
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
You say the word, baby I'm all set
We'll cover our tracks
Tell a couple white lies
Make sure we got a good alibi
And by the time they catch on
We'll be outta there sight
Long gone baby
Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town
Don't need directions
Don't need a map
If we get lost I'll be good with that
Yeah, we'll find a way to make the time pass
Windows rolled down with the heat on high
Stars all aligned in a runaway sky
Holding my hand as the miles roll by
Long gone baby
Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town
If we leave tonight and drive fast enough
All our troubles will be just like us
Long gone baby
Let's get out of this town tonight
Nothing but dust in the shadows
Gone by morning light
Somewhere we won't ever get caught, ever be found
Yeah let's get out of this town tonight
Let's get out of this town tonight
We won't ever get caught, ever be found
Baby, let's just get out of this town
There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed
You say the word, baby I'm all set

Crazy Dreams
Hello you long-shots, you dark horse runners,
Hair brush singers, dash-board drummers,
Hello you wild magnolias, just waiting to bloom.
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you,
Thank God even crazy dreams come true.
I've stood at the bottom of some walls I thought I couldn't climb.
I felt like Cinderella at the ball, just running out of time.
So I know how it feels to be afraid, and think that it's all gonna slip away
Hold on, Hold on.
Here's to you free souls, you fire-fly chasers.
Tree climbers, porch swingers, air guitar players.
Here's to you fearless dancers, shaking walls in your bedrooms
There's a lot of wonder left inside of me and you,
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Never let a bad day be enough, to go and talk you into giving up.
Sometimes everybody feels like you, oh, feels like you, just like you, yeah.
I've met some go-getters, some difference makers.
Small town heros, and big chance takers.
I've met some young hearts with something to prove.
Oh yeah.
Here's to you long-shots, you dark horse runners

I Know You Wont
VERSE 1
I know you don't mean to be, mean to me
Cause when you want to you can make me feel like we belong
We Belong...
Lately, you make me feel all I am is a backup plan
I'll say I'm done and then you smile at me and I'll forget
Everything I said...
Ill buy into those eyes and into your lies
CHORUS
You say you'll call, but I know you
You say you're coming home, but I know you
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
VERSE 2
I wish you were where you're supposed to be
Close To me
But here I am just staring at this candle burning out
Still no sound
Footsteps on my stairs
Your voice anywhere
CHORUS
You say you'll call, but I know you
You say you're coming home, but I know you
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
You say you'll call, but I know you
You say you're coming home, but I know you
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
You say you'll call, but I know you won't.
I know you don't mean to be, mean to me
Cause when you want to you can make me feel like we belong

Last Name
Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison baby
Last night I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night I met a guy on the dance floor
And I let him call me baby
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name
We left the club right around three o'clock in the morning
His Pinto sitting there in the parking lot Well it should have been a warning
I had no clue what I was getting into
So I blame it on the Cuervo
Oh where did my manners go?
And I don't even know his last name
Oh, my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know his last name
Here we go...
Today I woke up thinkin' about Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here
Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared out of nowhere
I gotta go
I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road
They say what happens here stays here
All of this will disappear
There's just one little problem...
I don't even know my last name
Oh my mama would be so ashamed
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned in,
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
What have I done
What have I done
What have I done
Oh, what have I done
I don't even know my last name
It turned into
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last
It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"
And then it turned into
"Oh no, what have I done?"
And I don't even know my last name
my last name
Last night I did things I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy
Last night I met a guy on the dance floor

You Wont Find This
Did you check the tires
Put gas in the car
Don't think you need too much
Cause you ain't gunna get that far
Did you pack the good times
Don't forget a map
Just in case the route you take isn't there to take you back
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you'll wake up wondering why
She ain't ever something better
When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
But you won't find this
No, you won't find this
There's once in a lifetime
And there's once in a while
And the difference between the two is about a million miles
Oh, you might get lucky while the moon is looking up
But in the truth of the morning, the stars will be long gone
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you'll wake up wondering why
She ain't ever something better
When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
But you won't find this
You can hold any girl that you like
Fall in love when it's easy at night
But you'll wake up wondering why
She ain't ever something better
When you're lost and you've run out of road
Find what I already know
In the end close is all there is
Oh, in the end it's me you're gunna miss
Cause you won't find this
No, you won't find this
Put gas in the car
Don't think you need too much
Cause you ain't gunna get that far
Did you pack the good times
Don't forget a map
Just in case the route you take isn't there to take you back

I Told You So
Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home"
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again"
If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?
Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you've been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?
Would you say
"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again"
"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again"
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home"

I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again"

The More Boys I Meet
This boy here wants to move too fast
He sees my future as havin' a past, well
I don't think so, I don't think so
That boy there, well he's playing the fool
He thinks he's funny and he thinks he's cool, well
I don't think so, I don't think so
Cheap date, bad taste another night gone to waste
Talking about nothing and so many words
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once
And I
I close my eyes and I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet, The more I love my dog
Here's this guy, he thinks he's bad to the bone
He wants to pick me up and take me home, well
I don't think so, I don't think so
Cage fights, Playstation, X-games raid a nation
Over sized pants with an ego to match
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause Ill give anyone a shot once
And I
I close my eyes and I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet, The more I love my dog
Why can't they be like the ones that mean everything to me,
Warm and loyal, open and friendly
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause I give anyone a shot once
I close my eyes and I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet, The more I love my
I close my eyes and I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet, The more I love my dog
The more I love my dog
He sees my future as havin' a past, well
I don't think so, I don't think so
That boy there, well he's playing the fool
He thinks he's funny and he thinks he's cool, well
I don't think so, I don't think so
Cheap date, bad taste another night gone to waste
Talking about nothing and so many words
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once
And I
I close my eyes and I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet, The more I love my dog
Here's this guy, he thinks he's bad to the bone
He wants to pick me up and take me home, well
I don't think so, I don't think so
Cage fights, Playstation, X-games raid a nation
Over sized pants with an ego to match
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause Ill give anyone a shot once
And I
I close my eyes and I kiss that frog
Each time finding
The more boys I meet, The more I love my dog
Why can't they be like the ones that mean everything to me,
Warm and loyal, open and friendly

I close my eyes and I kiss that frog
Each time finding

The more I love my dog

Twisted
Carrie Underwood Twisted
Baby you're a wrecking ball crashing into me
Nothing I can do but fall piece by piece
You broke down every part of me that ever thought I'd never need you, baby
It's twisted
Messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hanging on
I'm wanna love you even if it's wrong
Everybody's telling me I'm over my head
But they don't feel you lovin' me
They all say that I've gone crazy
Maybe, but it's too late now to save me
I'm too tangled
It's twisted
Messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hanging on
I'm wanna love you even if it's wrong
Even if it's twisted
Maybe it's not right
But that's all right
Yeah, it's all right tonight
It's twisted
Messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
It's twisted
Messed up
And the more I think about it
It's crazy, but so what
I may never understand it
I'm caught up and I'm hanging on
I'm wanna love you even if it's wrong
Even if it's twisted
Even if it's just a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit twisted
Yeah, it's twisted
Baby you're a wrecking ball crashing into me
Nothing I can do but fall piece by piece
You broke down every part of me that ever thought I'd never need you, baby

Wheel of the World
Love goes out, out like a light
Out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore
Just when you think it's lost in the rain
It comes back knocking at your door
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
God put us here on this carnival ride
We close our eyes
Never knowing where it will take us next
Babies are born and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
In the blink of an eye
It can change your life
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world
I don't know what it is
I'm flying high
Then I'm wondering why I'm sinking on this ship, going down
Life keeps on moving anyway
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
And around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It can open your heart
It can break you apart
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
Out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore
Just when you think it's lost in the rain
It comes back knocking at your door
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
God put us here on this carnival ride
We close our eyes
Never knowing where it will take us next
Babies are born and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
In the blink of an eye
It can change your life
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world
I don't know what it is
I'm flying high
Then I'm wondering why I'm sinking on this ship, going down
Life keeps on moving anyway
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
And around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It can open your heart
It can break you apart
And it never even slows down
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around

Carnival Ride is the second studio album by American country music artist Carrie Underwood. It was released in the United States on October 23, 2007, by Arista Nashville. On this album, Underwood was more involved in the songwriting process; she set up a writers' retreat at Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium to collaborate with Music Row tunesmiths such as Hillary Lindsey, Craig Wiseman, Rivers Rutherford, and Gordie Sampson.
Carnival Ride debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling over 527,000 copies and achieving one of the biggest ever first-week sales by a female artist. It was the singer's first album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 and second to debut atop the Top Country Albums chart. The album was certified quadruple platinum, it has sold 3.4 million copies in the United States, and four million copies worldwide.
Five singles were released from the album — "So Small", "All-American Girl", "Last Name", "Just a Dream", and "I Told You So". The first four singles reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, thus making Underwood the first solo female artist to pull four number ones from one album since Shania Twain did so with her album The Woman in Me in 1995-1996. All singles were Top 30 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with "I Told You So" climbing to number nine and both "So Small" and "Last Name" reaching the Top 20.
The album and its songs were largely praised by music critics. Underwood won two Grammy Awards - one for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Last Name", at the 2009 Grammy Awards, and one for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for "I Told You So", at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Carnival Ride was nominated for Album of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards and won the American Music Award for Favorite Country Album, in 2008.
