Sittin Out here on the hood of this truck looking up
at a caramel colored sunset sky
checkin my watch doin the math in my head
counting back words to when you said goodbye
well those runway lights are gettin brighter

Im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
tryin to figure out which one you might be on
and why you dont love me anymore
right now im sittin' out here watching airplanes

I would've lied could've cried should've tried harder
done anything to make you stay
I wonder what you'd do if you looked out your window
saw me runnin down the runway just like i was crazy
that fence is too high so am i

so I'm just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
tryin to figure out which one you might be on
and why you don't love me anymore
by now I know you're thirty thousand feet above me
but a million miles away, a million miles away
by now I know I outta act like you don't love me

but im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
take off and fly
tryin to figure out which one you might be on
and why you don't love me anymore

yeah im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
go bye, bye, bye, bye
im just sittin' out here watching airplanes
baby bye, bye, bye, bye

That is Garys best song I think!!

thats a toss up. im torn between 3 of them, this one,, tough little boys and songs about rain. the dad in me goes for tough little boys, and the shattered parts of me go for songs about rain and watching airplanes

had a guy play this one for me one time....guess he just couldnt wait that long... I still love this song tho


No rush though I need your touch
I won't rush your heart
Until you feel on solid ground
Until your strength is found, girl

I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I WILL prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Somebody else was here before
He treated you unkind
And broken wings need time to heal
Before a heart can fly, girl

I'll fill those canyons in your soul
Like a river lead you home
And I'll walk a step behind
In the shadows so you shine
Just ask it will be done
And I will prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Trust in me and you'll find a heart so true
All I want to do is give the best of me to you
And stand beside you

Just ask it will be done
And I WILL prove my love
Until you're sure that I'm "the one"

Life Ain't Always Beautiful is by far my favorite Gary Allan song..Watching Airplanes, If It Was a Drink, Loving You Against My Will and Songs About Rain are also favorites.


Life aint always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life aint always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way of takin it's sweet time


No, life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life aint always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life don’t work that way

But the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has its own way of takin it's sweet time

No, life aint always beautiful
But i know i'll be fine
Hey, life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

Tough little boys is my fave by Gary Allen.
It came out not too long after my daughter was born.
