"Once A Woman" by Heartland (John Rich/Richie McDonald)

1st Verse

All my life I've been on the run
Never slowed down for anyone
Keepin' my distance
Livin' life in the fast lane

2nd Verse

In control
Callin' all the shots
No one could touch me
Well, that's what I thought
Then I met her
Now everything's changed

Chorus

Oooh, and it's out of my hands
No need to deny it
She's got me where she wants me
And I just can't fight it
I could resist
But I wouldn't get very far
'Cause there's nothin' you can do
Once a woman gets a hold of your heart

3rd Verse

Fallin' in love never fit my plan
I set the rules
I was my own man
I never met a lover
That I couldn't live without

4th Verse

You walked in
Filled my soul with desire
Melted this ol' frozen heart with the fire
Now it's burnin' away
Every shadow of doubt

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Tag

Once a woman gets a hold of your heart
Oooh, of your heart, your heart



"Let's Get Dirty" by Heartland (Walt Aldridge/Anthony Little/Keith Ridenour)

(Get the motor runnin' hot)

1st Verse

Second row, third desk
I still remember that yellow sun dress
Blonde hair, blue eyes
Everytime I look at her my tongue is tied

2nd Verse

I was down home, she was uptown
A girl like that don't want a redneck around
Teacher's pet, cheerleader
How's a country boy like me supposed to meet her

Pre-Chorus

One Friday night
I was sittin' at a red light
She pulled up in a tricked out Ford truck
Revved up the engine and scared me half to death
Leaned out of the window and said,

Chorus

'Let's get dirty' (get dirty)
'Sling a little mud
Three hundred horses underneath my hood'
'Let's get dirty'
'I know the perfect spot
Take you down a back road
Show you what I've got'
('Get the motor runnin' hot')
('Let's get dirty')
(Um, hmm)

3rd Verse

She found the first dirt road we could go down
Tore through a mud hole and spun the whole truck around
She said, 'Buckle up, it's about to get rough'
'I'll do the drivin'
You can tell me when you've had enough'

Pre-Chorus

Slippin' and a'slidin'
Had me workin' up a sweat
I looked into her eyes and said,

(Repeat Chorus)

4th Verse

I saw a sign that said,
'Bridge out up ahead'
I told her, 'Slow down'
She hit the gas instead
I looked around
Saw her laughin' in the dashboard light
We left the ground like a bullet from a .45

Bridge

We landed hot
But we made it to the other side
My heart was poundin'
Like my first rollercoaster ride
She turned the key off
Turned to me and smiled and said,
'You take the wheel for a while'

(Chorus Out)



   "I Loved Her First" by Heartland (Walt Aldridge/Elliott Park)

1st Verse

Look at the two of you dancin' that way
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love, you're alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world

2nd Verse

I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one, she told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl

Pre-Chorus

Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

Chorus

I loved her first
I held her first
And a place in my heart
Will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first

3rd Verse

How could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairytales to
And tucked into bed all those nights

Pre-Chorus

And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first
Ooh, ooh
