"So Small" by Carrie Underwood (Luke Laird/Hillary Lindsey/Carrie Underwood)

1st Verse

What'cha got if you ain't got love
The kind that you just wanna give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out
And just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith

Chorus

('Cause) sometimes that mountain you've been climbin'
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searchin' for forever
Is in your hands
(Oh,) and when you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

2nd Verse

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sittin' 'round thinkin' 'bout what you can't change
And worryin' about all the wrong things
Time's flyin' by, movin' so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't get it back

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbin'
Is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searchin' for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, and 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



  "The More Boys I Meet" by Carrie Underwood (Gordon Kennedy/Steve McEwan)

1st Verse

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

2nd Verse

That boy there, well, he's playin' the fool
He thinks he's funny and he thinks he's cool
Well, I don't think so
I don't think so

Pre Chorus

Cheap date, bad taste
Another night gone to waste
Talkin' 'bout nothin' in so many words
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once

Chorus

(And) (I), I close my eyes and
I kiss that frog
Each time findin'
The more boys I meet
The more I love my (dog)
(The more I love my dog)

3rd Verse

Here's this guy 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

Pre Chorus

Cage fights, Playstation
X Games, Raider Nation
Oversize pants with an ego to match
It's not like I'm not tryin'
'Cause I'll give anyone a shot once

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

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'll give anyone a shot once

(Chorus Out)



   "Wasted" by Carrie Underwood (Troy Verges/Marv Green/Hillary Lindsey)

1st Verse

Standin' at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hardwood
It fell like broken glass
She said, 'Sometimes love slips away
And you just can't get it back
Let's face it'

2nd Verse

For one split second
She almost turned around
But that would be like pourin' raindrops
Back into a cloud
So she took another step
And said, 'I see the way out
And I'm gonna take it'

1st Chorus

(Well) ('Cause) (Oh, oh) I don't wanna spend my life jaded
Waitin' to wake up one day and find
That I let all these years go by
Wasted (yeah, yeah)

3rd Verse

Another glass of whiskey
But it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink
And pours it down the drain
He said, 'It's time to be a man
And stop livin' for yesterday
Gotta face it'

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

2nd Chorus

Oh oh, I don't wanna keep on a'wishin'
Missin' the still of the morning
The color of the night
I ain't spendin' no more time
Wasted

Bridge

She kept drivin' along
'Til the moon and the sun
Were floatin' side by side
He looked in the mirror
And his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while
Aay, yeah

(Chorus Out)



   "Don't Forget To Remember Me" by Carrie Underwood (Morgane Hayes/Kelley Lovelace/Ashley Gorley)

1st Verse

Eighteen years had come and gone
For Mama, they flew by
But for me, they drug on and on
We were loadin' up that Chevy
Both tryin' not to cry
Mama kept on talkin'
Puttin' off goodbye
Then she took my hand and said,
'Baby, don't forget'

1st Chorus

'Before you hit the highway
You better stop for gas
And there's a fifty in the ashtray
In case you run short on cash
Here's a map, and here's a Bible
If you ever lose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me'

2nd Verse

This downtown apartment
Sure makes me miss home
And those bills there on the counter
Keep tellin' me I'm on my own
And just like every Sunday
I called Mama up last night
And even when it's not
I tell her everything's all right
Before we hung up I said,
'Hey Mama, don't forget'

2nd Chorus

'To tell my baby sister
I'll see her in the fall
And tell Meemaw that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
And make sure you tell daddy
That I'm still his little girl
Yeah, I still feel like
I'm where I'm supposed to be
But don't forget to remember me'

Tag

Tonight I find myself
Kneelin' by the bed to pray
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know what to say
But Lord, I feel so small sometimes
In this big, ol' place
Yeah, I know there's more important things
But don't forget to remember me
But don't forget to remember me



  "Jesus, Take The Wheel" by Carrie Underwood (Brett James/Hillary Lindsey/Gordie Sampson)

1st Verse

She was drivin' last Friday
On her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Goin' home to see her mama and her daddy
With the baby in the back seat
Fifty miles to go
And she was runnin' low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long, hard year

2nd Verse

She had a lot on her mind
And she didn't pay attention
She was goin' way too fast
And before she knew it she was spinnin'
On a thin, black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives
Flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Chorus

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
'Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
(Oh) Jesus, take the wheel

3rd Verse

It was still gettin' colder
When she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw
That baby in the back seat
Sleepin' like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said, 'I'm sorry for the way
I've been livin' my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight'

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Ooh, why, ooh



  "The Night Before (Life Goes On)" by Carrie Underwood (Wendell Mobley/Neil Thrasher/Jimmy Olander)

1st Verse

Sittin' up on the roof
Sneakin' a smoke by the chimney
Checkin' out the moon and the city lights
He takes off his flannel shirt
And he drapes it around her shoulders
Slides up behind her, and holds on tight
And she says,
'I don't want this night to end
Why does it have to end'

Chorus

Tomorrow she'll be rollin' down I-10
Baton Rouge, LSU
Eighteen years in her rearview
He's got a Friday paycheck lined up
Down the block at Daddy's shop
It ain't much, but it's a job
They've been dreadin' this moment all summer long
(The night before life goes on)

2nd Verse

Ooh, a tear falls off her cheek
Right when it hits his arm, he says,
'C'mon baby, let's get out of here'
They take one last drive around town
And man, it already looks different
He bangs the wheel, and says, 'Life ain't fair'
'And this growin' up stuff
Man, I don't know
I just don't wanna let you go'

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Yeah, that's what my mama told me
And just like those kids
I didn't wanna listen to no one
Yeah, there's nothin' you can do
There's nothin' you can say
And I know how it feels
When a love goes away

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

But here it is
They don't have long
The night before life goes on, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



   "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood (Chris Thompkins/Josh Kear)

1st Verse

Right now, he's prob'bly slow dancin'
With a bleached-blonde tramp
And she's prob'bly gettin' frisky
Right now, he's prob'bly buyin' her some
Fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
Right now, he's prob'bly up behind her with a pool stick
Showin' her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know

Chorus

(That) ('Cause) I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little suped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights
(I) slashed a hole in all four tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

2nd Verse

Right now, she's prob'bly up singin'
Some white trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's prob'bly sayin', 'I'm drunk'
And he's a'thinkin' that he's gonna get lucky
Right now, he's prob'bly dabbin' on
Three dollars worth of that bathroom Polo
Whoa, and he don't know, oh

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I might'a saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me
No, oh, not on me

(Chorus Out)



  "That's Where It Is" by Carrie Underwood (Melissa Peirce/Steve Robson/Greg Becker)

1st Verse

In the circles I been running
I've covered many miles
And I could search forever
For what's right before my eyes

2nd Verse

Just when I thought I'd found it
It was nothin' like I'd planned
And when I got my heart around it
It slipped right through my hands

1st Pre-Chorus

Here with you I feel it
I close my eyes and see it

Chorus

In a midnight talk
In a mornin' kiss
When I'm in your arms
That's where it is
When we're tangled up
And can't resist
When we feel that rush
That's where it is
(That's where it is)

3rd Verse

When I'm crashin' through the madness
Not sure who I'm supposed to be
When I'm caught up in the darkness
It's your hand that's leading me

2nd Pre-Chorus

You bring me back to solid ground
You lift me up right here, right now

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

It's a lifetime
Filled with tiny graces
The biggest things
In the smallest places

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

In the sweetest smile
On a night like this
In a tender touch
That's where it is
When we're tangled up
And can't resist
When we feel that rush
That's where it is
That's where it is
