RASCAL FLATTS LYRICS

"You"

[Chorus]
Every road that I've been down
The only truth that I have found
There's only one thing I can't live without
You

I was searching for something I thought I would never find
Losing my mind
In and out of bad love, I thought I was born to lose
Then came you
I thought I knew what the real thing was
But nothing shakes me like your love does
I've been hypnotized
Now I realize

[Repeat Chorus]

Every time I get lost in a temperamental mood
You still stay cool
Just when I think that this life's about to drive me insane
You take the reins
Every time I feel I'm drifting off course
You're my compass, you're my one true north
In a mixed up world
You make sense to me girl

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Yeah, every road girl
Leads me to you
And baby, that's all I need to know

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Every road that I've been down in my life
Every time I feel I'm taking off
Every road that I've been down in my life
Every road girl, leads me to you
Yes it did, yes it did
Every road girl
Every road leads me to you

[Fade]

bored out of my mind and procrastinating on the dishes...time for a xanga update. haha

day after thanksgiving = major craziness! i had to work this morning at 8 o'clock..yep..you read right..8 o'clock. it wasnt half bad..im just tired now. the day after thanksgiving is fun! everyone knows..its like the craziest shopping day of the year, right? well..i didnt do any shopping today-at all..amazing, i know. watching people today was interesting. they just dont care..its as simple as that..me and my mom were watching the news tonight and there was a walmart in michigan where people got trampled when the doors opened. some lady fell over and just laid in the floor until she could get her wig back on..it was crazy. i laughed..

i got my deficiency in the mail today..a 51% in child and human development. go ahead and laugh, i did. its not right..but my parents..geez oh petes they had a hay day with it. its hard explaining that kind of stuff to them sometimes..

my great uncle died this morning and im sad...he was freakin awesome. i hadnt seen him in a few years because he moved to neon, ky. in case you dont know where that is, it's three hours from here..but yeah..he passed away this morning. his funeral will be either sunday or monday we're guessing. we havent heard anything yet. i plan on going with dad regardless of the day.. this guy..he was great. every year, we'd go to his house for christmas dinner. me and uncle jack would play tetris for HOURS..that was all we did. he was really good at it too..i hate that i lost contact with him though..i guess thats what happens when people grow up..its sad and i hate it..

this entry is kind of off the wall..random stuff. my boss is pregnant. not ted, but pam. im so excited for her! it'll be her first child and her parents first grandbaby. poor thing though, she was feeling rather sick this morning when we were working. speaking of, i'll only have one job come the new year! im quitting the engraving shop and just staying at ua. its time to cut back a little bit. im ready to enjoy my senior year and the people that i spend every day of my life with..

things with john are going great...in case you were wondering. we've been dating almost two months now and its awesome. its indescribable. i've never dated anyone like him..definitely saved the best for last this time. i dont want to put a bunch of mushy gushy stuff on here..save all that for myself. if you really want to know, i'll talk to you about it personally..but otherwise..no way! lol.

he went coon hunting the other night and killed an 18 pound coon. i guess thats big in the coon hunting business. im not exactly sure..we dont do that stuff here in the city. lol. but yeah, he killed his coon and i saw it! i'll post a picture of it on here later. it kind of grossed me out at first. but it was okay after. when i went to pine knot yesterday, we took it to the taxadermist (sp?) thats the guy that stuffs it and everything. it wont be done until march though..i'll get a picture of it then too..ya know, do the before and after kind of thing? awesome..i know you cant wait!

sometimes i dont understand people. its like, they want you to be happy and they want only whats best for you. but once you do find it, they go bonkers on you. its like they dont want you to be happy for some reason..or they dont like the reason you are happy. to that person..you know who you are..and i think anyone else that reads this will know too.. dude..you were like my best friend! what happened? did you go crazy or something? or maybe it was me who went crazy? but i'd be lying if i said i didnt miss talking to you. give me a call. or hey..we DO go to the SAME school..why dont you look my way at lunch and say hey? i tried..but you ignored me. im calling you out...please

wow..this is getting kinda long. im so excited for christmas to get here. 29 more days..this is the official countdown. i cant wait for presents and family and the ten bajillion trips to pine knot! im excited! john says bah humbug..but i disagree! (i think he was kidding anyway) we havent put up our christmas tree yet and mom and dad are putting the lights on the house tomorrow while i work my 13 1/2 hours. yipee, i know. and then we are going to have our late thanksgiving dinner, just the four of us -maybe 5 if john comes to town- on sunday. im craving thanksgiving leftovers, and we dont have any.

oh my..well, i suppose i'd better do the dishes now. it'll surprise mom and dad that i got them done so early! time to go. if you made it through this entire post..kudos to you! i'll get you a present! bye!

ashley

29 days and counting...im in love!

okay..so im sitting here bored out of my freakin mind. i was supposed to go to mccreary county to see john..but that was a no go.  im sad. lots of stuff has happened since my last post..lol. its been a while.

okay, so i met this guy. and he is GREAT! i love being with him..the only downfall is that he lives in pine knot. but the drive is nice..so its all good. i love spending time with him..he's just so fun to be around. and a total change from any guy i've ever dated. he's so sweet! and just in case you didnt catch it before, his name's john. lol. i've never been this happy before. its almost too good to be true..but im lovin' it.

we went to a haunted house last saturday. it was about funny. i had never been to a haunted house before, so i was kinda nervous. but it wasnt bad at all! heather's cousin, chelsea, was working it and she said it wasnt scary at all. so i was somewhat relieved.

john called..edit later...bye!

edit 1

okay, so john called me for a few minutes. wanted to tell me that he was going home to build a house for his goats. they're so cute! he has 17 goats. and one is pregnant. i cant wait to see the baby! lol. anyway..i did my homework for the first time in EVER. i dont know whats going on with me and school. im not doing bad..its just like i dont care but i make good grades on everything. acute senioritis? idk..but i know i need to do something about it.

anyway..back to the haunted house thing..it was more funny than scary. we laughed the whole time. the only people that were screaming were the people that were trying to scare us. john accidentally sat in candle wax at the beginning..he got red wax all over his butt. it was funny..but he was kinda upset. lol. he got over it. there was only one scary room. it was a room lined in michael myers masks and then two people were in the corners waiting for you to walk through. and as you walked through, the two people w/masks on would walk towards you..spooky! lol. i think the drive to the haunted house was more creepy than the house itself. it was in the boonedocks buddy! lol. it was uber curvy too..craziness...

last friday was senior night. i cried, but no one saw. it was so sad. all good things come to an end eventually. and its time for me to move on. field commanding was great, and to all the kiddos in band, thanks for making it awesome! all of you made it so great. and i will always remember it..and i love every one of you. we still have pep band and concert season, so i still have a long way to go..i just loved marching season. something about it just struck me..and its done.

being a senior hasnt hit me yet. and i dont think it will until i walk the aisle to get my diploma. i just feel like im going through the motions of being a senior. taking senior pictures 2 weeks ago felt weird. i just dont feel any different than i did junior year or even sophomore year. maybe it'll hit me soon..the only thing that makes me feel like a senior is all the ap classes im taking, and trying to get a's in all the classes to be exempt from exams. keep your fingers crossed for me! lol.

well..jeopardy is on and i need to read some stuff for english. so i'm gonna go. this was a pretty long post...go me.

i love you!!!

ashley

its been a few days since my last post..so i figured i'd get on and say hey. everything is going good. i start school in two freakin days. i dont want to go...someone make me sick. lol.

im not really sure what im going to do after graduation...i've been thinking about it a lot lately. so many options..its like you make HUGE plans as to what you are going to do with your life..then once you have to make the final decisions..its like,wham..change of plans. so idk..a lot of thinking and everything.

today is my first full day off in over a week. it feels weird to not have to work or anything..i've just chilled out all day. its been pretty nice.

this is a short post, but i have stuff i want to do. i'll save posts for after work when i have nothing else to do..lol

i love you!
