Travis Tritt - It's All About to Change Lyrics






The Whiskey Aint Workin

[ Featuring Marty Stuart ]

There was a time I could drink my cares away
And drown out all of the heartaches that hurt me night and day
When the thought of you came crashin' through, I'd have one more
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
A woman warm and willing, that's what I'm looking for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore

They knew my name at every bar in town
And they knew all of the reasons why I was coming round, round, round (sing it, Travis)
'Cause in my mind, peace I'd find, when they'd start to pour
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore (sing it, son)

I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
Well, a woman warm and willing, Lord, that's what I'm looking for (that's right)
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
Lord, the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
That's for sure

Dont Give Your Heart To A Rambler

Don't fall in love with me darlin', I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Well I handed you a lie and now I'm sorry
You're just a little sweeter than the rest
Believe me when I say I don't want to hurt you
Or do anything to spoil your happiness

Don't fall in love with me darlin', I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

If I ever get the blues, now sweet baby
Or the lure of the highway on my mind
I long to hear that whistle of the freight train
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line

Don't fall in love with me darlin', I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Don't fall in love with me darlin', I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake dear that I'm leavin'
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Yeah, don't you give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Anymore

I can't hide the way I feel about you anymore
I can't hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My tears no longer waiting, my resistance ain't that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore

Let me make one last appeal to show you how I feel about you
'Cause there's no one else I swear that holds a candle anywhere next to you
My heart can't take the beating, not having you to hold
A small voice keeps repeating deep inside my soul
It says I can't keep pretending I don't love you anymore

I've got to take the chance or let it pass by
If I expect to get on with my life

My tears no longer waiting, oohh my resistance ain't that strong
But my mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore

Anymore

Anymore

Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)

You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone
And now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared
And you say you'd be happy if you could just come back home
Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Call someone who'll listen and might give a damn
Maybe one of your sorted affairs
But don't you come around here handin' me none of your lies
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares
(yeah)

Girl, I thought what we had could never turn bad
So your leavin' caught me unaware
But the fact is you've run, girl, that can't be undone
So here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Call someone who'll listen, yeah, and might give a damn
Maybe one of your sorted affairs
But don't you come around here handin' me none of your lies
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Yeah, here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Oh, yeah

Bible Belt

[ Featuring Little Feat ]

Well, he was the assistant preacher
And the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in
She was looker from Atlanta,
Led the choir, played piano
Had a body that was made for sin.

She didn't care that he was married,
'Cause the torch that she carried
Was hotter than the fires of hell
She had plans to seduce him,
If she could, she could loosen
A notch in the bible belt.

So, she called him up at home
When she knew he'd be alone
Said, 'Preacher I could use advice,
I got troubles with a man
that I know you'll understand
If you could help me it would sure be nice.

They met a few minutes after
In the office of the Pastor
And she started telling how she felt
What a chance they were takin'
When they first started breakin'
The laws of the bible belt.

There's a lot of good people
Who are led astray
That believe what the good Book said
Well, I'll tell ya somethin' brother
When you're dealin' with the Devil
It's tough to keep a level head.

And it's hard to imagine
How the flames of passion
Can burn you till your soul will melt
And it'll spread like a cancer
But you're gonna have to answer
To the Lord and the bible belt.

Someone said they went to Vegas,
Back home it didn't take us
Long to hear the news of what they did
Nobody could believe that he
Left his wife to grieve
Alone with two pre-school kids.

I don't know how they're doin'
But I know that they're screwin'
Up a good thing they once had
They better get their heads together
Or they're gonna slap leather
With the Lord and the bible belt.

[Repeat Chorus]

They better get their heads together
Or they're gonna slap leather
With the Lord and the bible belt...

Its All About To Change

What made you think I'd let you
Go on treatin' me this way
What made you think I'd let you run me down
I have tried to keep my cool
But I will not play your fool
And it's all about to change starting now

Girl, if you had your way, I'd be crying everyday
Happiness it one thing you would not allow
I have listened to your lies, you can't say I haven't tried
But, it's all about to change starting now

I once believed you cared for me, boy, was I ever wrong
Still you made me love you I still don't know how
It's a game that I can't win but I'll be damned if I give in
'Cause it's all about to change starting now

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah, it's all about to change starting now

Nothing Short Of Dying

I should've told her more I loved her
I should've spent more time at home
But should haves really aren't important
Since the fact is now she's gone
I wish I'd listened to my conscience
When it said 'don't let her go'
And if she's wondering how I'm doing
Well, I think she oughta know

(That/And) I find myself praying
More than I ever did before
And I find my heart is breaking
Each time her memory slams the door
And I find myself crying
And trying to hold on
'Cause there ain't nothing short of dying
That's worse than being left alone

I thought I'd be just fine without her
I'd be happy a free man
But the hurtin' side of lonesome
Is what I didn't understand
And the lessons that I'm learning
Lord, I'm learning awful well
'Cause nights I used to spend in Heaven
Have been replaced by nights of Hell

[Repeat Chorus]

There ain't nothing short of dying
That's worse than being left alone

If Hell Had A Jukebox

You left me for a dream you had to follow
But I thought goodbye wouldn't last that long
You'd go off chasin' rainbows till you realized I loved you
And then run back to my arms where you belong
But months have passed, I guess I was mistakem
And love was something I thought I knew well
But when you called me on the phone, asking when you'd come back home
You simply told me I could go to Hell

Well, honey, if Hell had a jukebox
And the Devil kept it full of hurtin' songs
You could find me there this evening
With the broken hearted grieving
Prayin' like hell you would come back home

I've looked at all the pictures from our good times
And tried to figure out where we went wrong
And I've dropped a million quarters down the jukebox
'Cause I'm still haunted by what used to be our song
I wish this mental torture would release me
Lord, I've give all I had for what it's worth
I don't see how the fires below, where you wanted me to go
Could be worse than Hell I'm living here on Earth

And honey, if Hell had a jukebox
And the Devil kept it full of hurtin' songs
You could find me there this evening
With the broken hearted grieving
Prayin' like hell you would come back home

Yes, you could find me there this evening
With the broken hearted grieving
Prayin' like hell you would come back home

Someone For Me

As I walk down this road
The rain has just started to fall
How in the world did I let myself get so alone
I can't tell any difference
Between my tears and the rain falling down
It's hell when your heart is in need of someone all it's own

I need someone with a heart just like mine
And someone who's trying to find true love
Everywhere that I go I see people in love
The way that I wanted to be
Tell me when will I have a love of my own
Will there ever be someone for me

As I sit with the rain coming down

All the memories surround me
Pieces of past loves and fast times keep haunting my mind
If I just had somebody to erase all the memories
Of yesterday's loves gone wrong
Oh God please have mercy it's true love I'm looking to find

I need someone with a heart just like mine
And someone who's trying to find true love
Everywhere that I go I see people in love
The way that I wanted to be
Tell me when will I have a love of my own
Will there ever be someone for me

Tell me when will I have a love of my own
Will there ever be someone for me

Homesick

(I'm loving this, yes, yes.)

Guitars ring in the dead of night,
Sing so blue, sound so right
It makes you homesick
Listen close to the guitar man,
Native son of a foreign land
The boy's homesick.

He's homesick, for days bygone
Homesick, for home sweet home.

Where were you in '69,
Smokin' dope and drinkin' wine
Just an outlaw
Distant drums beats an old refrain,
Shakes your feet, pounds your brain
Like a buzzsaw.

[Instrumental]

In the darkness down the hall,
Black-light posters on the wall
Jimi Hendrix
Someone's lost in yesterday,
Hazy dreams of Monterey
And Woodstock, all right.

He's homesick, for days bygone
Homesick, for home sweet home.

[Instrumental]

Guitars ring in the dead of night,
Sing so blue, sound so right
It makes you homesick
Listen close to the guitar man,
Native son of a foreign land
The boy's homesick

He's homesick, for days bygone
Homesick, Lord, for home sweet home.
The boy's homesick...

[Instrumental to fade]
