Tim McGraw - A Place in the Sun Lyrics






A Place In The Sun

Long ago, far away
I felt your lovin' glow upon my face
Was it a dream or just a promise made
What is my destiny

Someday I'll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there's got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Darkness hangs overhead
Close to the point where angels fear to tread
I close my eyes and think of you instead
And pray you'll be here soon

Someday I'll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there's got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Sometimes it feels like this whole world's against me
And every beaten path is just another winding road that tempts me
Far from you and all that's true
I've got to find my way again

Someday I'll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there's got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Yeah I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Oh, won't you shine down on me sunshine

Carry On

Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away
But if mama was here I know what mama would say

Carry on
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on

Little sister's husband ran off with her best friend
Left her and the babies all alone again
It hurts to know the hurt that she's going through
But I know that she'll do what she's gotta do
Carry on
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on

Nobody ever said that life was gonna be fair
You're never gonna get nowhere by running scared
If you look down deep inside you'll find the faith to make you strong
Oh carry on

I try to walk the sunny side of the street
Don't let no shadows tangle up my feet
There ain't no troubles that we can't rise above
With a handful of faith and a heartful of love
Carry on
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on

Eyes Of A Woman

He was rough, he was tough
And he drank his whiskey straight
He would fight every night if he didn't get his way
She was kind she could find all the good in everyone
And then one day she passed his way
He felt reborn in that morning sun
And saw her face, she called his name
And from that moment he knew he'd never be the same

What you can find in the eyes of a woman
Is a reason to believe
Look deep inside the eyes of a woman
See the man you want to be

I'd been down
Kicked around
The world had got the best of me
Out of rope
Little hope I'd ever get back on my feet
She took my hand, said yes you can
One look at her and I'm a brand-new man

What you can find in the eyes of a woman
Is a reason to believe
Look deep inside the eyes of a woman
See the man you wanna be

When I feel the need for inspiration
With just one look I've found my salvation

What you can find in the eyes of a woman
Is a reason to believe
Look deep inside the eyes of a woman
See the man you wanna be
See the man you wanna be
See the man
See the man you wanna be

My Best Friend

I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin'
So tired of searchin'
'Til you walked into my life
It was a feelin'
I'd never known
And for the first time
I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble
When we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend (my best friend)
You're my best friend (my best friend)

My Next Thirty Years

I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I'm gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I'm doing here
In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years, I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I'll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years
In my next thirty years

Please Remember Me

When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
'Cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Remember me when you're out walkin'
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleepin'
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Please remember me

Senorita Margarita

She left more than just her lipstick when she walked out
Her memory keeps haunting me that's why I'm hunting you down
It's been a long time since our lips met
You've always been good at helping me forget
I'll regret it in the morning but that's not stopping me now

Senorita, margarita I'm as lonesome as a man can be
I still love her
I still need her
I'm just hoping you can comfort me
I don't want to do her wrong
I don't need somebody new
I just can't be alone tonight
So senorita, margarita, let me hold you tight
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la

She always comes to her senses with some space and time
And you're just what I needed to cool off this hot head of mine
I hope you realize this is a one night stand
I'm gonna get her back, I know I can
So let's keep this between you me the salt and the lime

Senorita, margarita I'm as lonesome as a man can be
I still love her
I still need her
I'm just hoping you can comfort me
I don't want to do her wrong
I don't need somebody new
I just can't be alone tonight
So senorita margarita, let me hold you tight
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Seventeen

Backseat of her daddy's car
I was trying not to go too far
Kept thinking about the words the preacherman said
Lightnin' flashed across the sky
I saw love in a young girl's eyes
And that's a look you never forget

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don't it just fly by wild and free
Goin' any way the wind blew baby
Seventeen livin' on crazy dreams
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen

Legs hangin' off the bayou bridge
Feedin' fish potato chips
And talkin' about the mysteries of the universe
Yeah the world was somewhere else
We had the summer all to ourselves
And the stars went off like fireworks

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don't it just fly by wild and free
Goin' any way the wind blew baby
Seventeen livin' on crazy dreams
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen

Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime
Don't it just fly by wild and free
Goin' any way the wind blew baby
Seventeen livin' on crazy dreams
Rock and roll and faded blue jeans
And standing on the edge of everything
Seventeen
Yeah seventeen
Sweet seventeen

Shell Have You Back

Once upon a lonely time
She swore she'd never let you down
You held her tight without a care in mind
While she did her runnin' 'round
At first you wouldn't face the truth
You loved her too much to let go
And though the story had to end
You wanna be her fool again
Friend there's something you should know

She'll have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
Back to walkin' on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just aren't meant to be
I understand how she can get to you
'Cause she's made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time

It just don't make no sense to me
To play a game you'll never win
You asked me here for my advice
You say she wouldn't break you twice
Friend you'd better think again

She'll have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
Back to walkin' on your knees
Boy open up your eyes and see the light
Some things just aren't meant to be
I understand how she can get to you
'Cause she's made more than one man blind
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time
So try and face the cold hard fact
She would gladly have you back
Back to drinkin' in no time

Some Things Like That

After all this time I still miss you every day
The same world spins 'round
I guess some things never change
Sometimes I go out but it never feels the same
I still look for you baby some things never change

When I said I'd love you for eternity
I just never knew how true those words would be
Just an old love song just the mention of your name
My heart breaks in two again
I guess some things never change

Maybe someday someone else will set me free
Until then I'll live with your love's legacy
And I'll keep holding on hoping you'll come back someday
You can rest assure baby some things never change
Girl I'm still in love with you
I guess some things never change
I still love you

Somebody Must Be Prayin For Me

She left Oklahoma for California
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pourin' from that old Cadillac
But she wasn't turnin' back
Just outside of Flagstaff
Motor blew on her Coup De Ville
Just in time she saw a sign
There's was a Texaco waitin' at the bottom of the hill
And she said

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me, yeah

A boy about 20 climbed out of a truck
All covered in grease and dirt
She said, hey Charles, but he just laughed
He said, I'm wearin' my daddy's shirt
He stood there lost in her eyes
Then she got lost in his
As the years roll by
She would sigh everytime they kissed
And she'd say

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me

Sometimes she stares out the window
And wonders about her Hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed
She softly whispers as they fall asleep

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Ain't it funny how you find just what you need
Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody must be prayin' for me
Prayin' for me, yeah

The Trouble With Never

If I never think about her, I'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call
Never see her again and I'll be free as a bird
But the trouble with never is never, never works

If I never bring her flowers, I'll never see her smile
If I never try to kiss her, she'll never drive me wild
And I'll never feel the need to say those three little words
But the trouble with never is never, never works

I know how to stay carefree, let no one get a hold on me
But I can't keep my hands off her
There's something different 'bout this girl

If I never let me love her, I'll never settle down
And I'll never put roots in this God forsaken town
And I'll never say I do or step foot in a church
But the trouble with never is never, never works

I know how to stay carefree, let no one put a hold on me
But I can't keep my hands off her
There's something different 'bout this girl

If I never think about her, I'll never miss her at all
Never wonder what she's doin, never give her a call
Never see her again, and I'll be free as a bird
Oh, but the trouble with never is never, never works
Yeah, the trouble with never is never, never works
At least not with her

You Dont Love Me Anymore

She walks over to him and she says do you remember me
I think we might have met somewhere before
Southern Carolina is the place that comes to mind
But hey I guess you never really can be sure

Oh there's nothing like a true love
To go and make a fool of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Then an old familiar feeling
Wraps its arms around the moment
And he says so many times I've tried to call
Well you think you'd spent a lifetime
It's been two years since I've seen you
But it seems like no times gone by at all

There was nothing like a real love
To give you back the feel of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Oh and how far we'll travel
For a place to heal our hearts
We watched it unravel
So why's tonight the hardest part

Then he says the weather's changin
And it's icing up the highway
So I guess it's time for me to hit the road
So she says goodbye and then before she knows what she is saying
She says I wish that you didn't have to go

Oh there's nothing like a true love
To go and make a fool of someone just like before
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore
And right there for a minute
I forgot that you don't love me anymore

Back to: Tim McGraw


A Place in the Sun is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Tim McGraw. It was released on May 4, 1999. "Please Remember Me" was nominated for Best Male Country Vocal Performance at the 2000 Grammy Awards. "My Best Friend" was nominated in the same category the following year.

The album's compact disc version was originally available with a limited edition booklet that contained two transparent sleeves inside. Subsequent releases have all the same information, though without the transparent pages.

This album produced the singles "Please Remember Me", "Something Like That", "My Best Friend", "My Next Thirty Years" and "Some Things Never Change"; "Please Remember Me" was originally recorded by Rodney Crowell on his 1995 album Jewel of the South, and was a #69 country hit for him that year. Except for the #7-peaking "Some Things Never Change", all the singles on this album reached number one on the Hot Country Songs charts; "Seventeen" and "Seáorita Margarita" also reached the lower regions of that chart from unsolicited airplay.
