JUST ONE MOMENT
YOU WERE STANDIN THERE OUTSIDE
OF TOWN ON AN OLD DIRT COUNTRY ROAD
YOU WERE RUNNIN' SCARED
LOST AND ALL ALONE
I WAS DRIVIN INTO TOWN IN MY
BEAT UP CHEVY PICKUP TRUCK
I COULD HAVE DRIVEN RIGHT ON BY BUT SOMETHING
INSIDE TOLD ME TO STOP
NOW THAT I LOOK BACK
I DONT THINK MUCH OF IT
BUT I SOMETIMES WONDER
HOW IT ALL COULD HAVE CHANGED IN
JUST ONE MOMENT
V2
==
THERES AN OLD MAN ON THE STREET
BEGGIN' FOR SOME CHANGE
ONCE HE HAD IT ALL BUT IN A FIVE ALARM
FIRE HE LOST EVERYTHING
NOW HE'S CALLING OUT FOR HELP
BUT MOST TURN HIM AWAY
NO ONE STOPS TO THINK THAT COULD
POSSIBLY BE ME SOMEDAY
MOST OF THE TIME THEY DON'T THINK OF
IT BUT ISN'T IT AMAZING
HOW LIFE CAN CHANGE IN JUST
ONE MOMENT?
CHORUS:
JUST ONE MOMENT
IS ALL IT TAKES
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
YOUR WHOLE WORLD CAN CHANGE
WHAT IF I HAD JUST DRIVEN BY
WOULD YOU BE WITH ME TODAY?
WHAT IF WE ALL TOOK ONE MOMENT
OF EACH AND EVERY DAY
TO HELP ONE ANOTHER AS BEST WE CAN
WOULD ALL THE WARS AND VIOLENCE
GO AWAY?
MOST OF THE TIME WE DON'T THINK
MUCH OF IT
BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD WONDER MORE
HOW IT COULD ALL CHANGE
IN JUST ONE MOMENT
======================
NOW WE'RE STANDING ON THE ALTAR
ABOUT TO GIVE OUR VOWS
ITS AMAZING HOW TIME PASSES
AND HOW FAR WE'VE COME
UP TILL NOW
AS I WAIT TO GIVE YOU THAT DIAMOND RING
IT MAKES ME THINK BACK TO THAT DAY
AND HOW ONE MOMENT COULD HAVE
CHANGED EVERYTHING
MOST OF THE TIME WE DON'T THINK
MUCH OF IT
BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD WONDER MORE
HOW IT COULD ALL CHANGE
IN JUST ONE MOMENT

YOU'RE MY MARY JANE
ONE CAN DREAM

ONE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING
ONE CAN HAVE NOTHING
NOTHIN' AT ALL

GETS DRENCHED IN HAIL AND RAIN
THE STORM CAN BE LONG AND HARD
IT CAN STEAL YOUR SOUL AND EVEN
YOUR HEART
IT MIGHT SEEM THAT ALL I EVER WANTED WAS
FORTUNE AND FAME

======================
TWO NEWLYWEDS KSSIN IN THE BACK
OF A STRETCHED LIMOSUINE
THEY HAD JUST TIED THE KNOT
LIVIN' THE AMERICAN DREAM
AS I LOOKED IN THAT REAR VIEW
MIRROR IT OCCURRED TO ME
IF I HAD ONLY DONE THINGS RIGHT
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ME
YEAH BUT THAT TIME HAS GONE BY
NOW AND THE PAST IS HISTORY
I'D PUT DOWN THIS GUITAR IN
A HEARTBEAT
I'D GIVE UP THIS BRIGHT SPOTLIGHT
IF ONLY I COULD HAVE YOU IN MY ARMS
BY MY BED JUST ONE MORE NIGHT
EVER SINCE YOU LEFT
I'VE BEEN PLAYIN' THIS NASHVILLE GAME
BUT SINCE THAT NIGHT YOU WALKD OUT ON ME
MUSIC ROW HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME
I THOUGHT OF GIVIN' IT ALL UP
WATCHIN MY CAREER GO UP IN FLAMES
BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WOULD WANT
SO THAT'S WHY I STILL PLAY
THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME GOIN
IS IN EACH SONG I HEAR YOUR NAME
I KEEP DREAMIN' OF THAT DAY WE'LL
MEET AGAIN
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I CAN EVER
TRULY LOVE
YOU'RE MY MARY JANE

TO A SHOW IN ALBEQUERQUE AND THEN
ONTO SANTA FE
BUT THEN THAT VOICE CAME ON THE SPEAKER
OUT OF THE AIRPORT PA
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HEARD THAT YOUNG
MAN CALLIN' OUT YOUR NAME
I LOOKED AROUND TRIED TO PICTURE
WHAT YOU'D LOOK LIKE TODAY
THEN I SAW YOU AT THE COUNTER
YOUR BLONDE HAIR NOW TURNING GREY
I THOUGHT ABOUT GOIN' OVER
THERE BUT I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
ONE CAN FALL
ONE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING
ONE CAN HAVE NOTHING
NOTHIN' AT ALL
ONE CAN HAVE LOVE
