TWO FOR TUESDAY


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Something More
Sugarland
Come on

Monday
Hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup
I’m out the door
Yeah my freeway’s
Standin’ still today
It’s gonna make me late
And that’s for sure
I’m runnin’ out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine

There’s gotta be somethin’ more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I’m gonna take my chances
Takin’ a chance I might
Find what I’m lookin’ for
There’s gotta be somethin’ more

Five years
And there’s no doubt
That I’m burnt out
I’ve had enough
So now boss man
Here’s my two weeks
I’ll make it short and sweet
So listen up
I could work my life away but why
I got things to do before I die

There’s gotta be somethin’ more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I’m gonna take my chances
Takin’ a chance I might
Find what I’m lookin’ for
There’s gotta be somethin’ more

Some believe in destiny
And some believe in fate
I believe that happiness
Is somethin’ we create
You best believe that I’m not gonna wait
‘Cause there’s gotta be somethin’ more

I get home
7:30
The house is dirty
But it can wait
Yeah ‘cause right now
I need some downtime
To drink some red wine
And celebrate
Armageddon could be knockin’ at my door
But I ain’t gonna answer
That’s for sure
There’s gotta be somethin’

There’s gotta be somethin’ more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I’m gonna take my chances
Takin’ a chance I might
Find what I’m lookin’ for
There’s gotta be somethin’ more
Gotta be somethin’
Got to be
Got to be
Gotta be somethin’
More


Just Might (Make Me Believe)
Sugarland
I got miles of trouble
Spreadin’ far and wide
Bills on the table
Gettin’ higher and higher
They just keep on comin’
There ain’t no end in sight
I’m just holdin’ on tight
I’ve got someone who loves me
More than words can say
And I’m thankful for that
Each and every day
And if I count all my blessings
I get a smile on my face
Still it’s hard to find faith

But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we’ll be all right
If you promise never to leave
You just might make me believe

It’s just day to day
Tryin’ to make ends meet
What I’d give for an address
Out on easy street
I need a deep margarita
To help me unwind
Leave my troubles behind

But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we’ll be all right
If you promise never to leave
You just might make me believe

I used to believe in us
When times got tough
But lately I’m afraid that even
Love is not enough

But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we’ll be all right
If you promise never to leave
You just might make me
Oh you just might make me
You just might make me believe

  1. I listened to the first song and thought the second couldn't possibly be any better. I was wrong. Those are both awesome songs.

  2. Whoa, please don't tell your husband that. For the second song is much more traditional country than the first one, and he might get Duke to chew on your headphones. Nonetheless, I am really glad you liked them both. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!!

  3. Now these two songs - I KNOW! And I love them both. I am not into the twangie country music - but I love country music and when it has words and story - they are wonderful!

  4. YAHOO! I finally posted a couple of songs that you are familiar with. Whoa, counting Billy Joe Royal's "Down In The Boondocks," that makes at least three! Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!!
