1.Every Time It Rains

(anita cochran)

The sun isn't shining, i see the clouds rolling in
It reminds me of the day and the words we said
The thunder and lightning is just about to begin
And i'm out here in the cold that's left over from the storm
Once again
&cause every time it rains your memory comes pouring in
And every drop that falls, it burns like alcohol flowing through
my veins
Until the winds of change come and blow the clouds away
I'll still feel the shame and deal with the pain
Every time it rains
Maybe i'm foolish and i'll get through this i know
It just hurts inside that we couldn't weather our storm
The last time i saw you i knew the damage was done
'cause we didn't make it, we didn't get to see the lightning
breaking
From the sun
&cause every time it rains your memory comes pouring in
And every drop that falls, it burns like alcohol flowing through
my veins
Until the winds of change come and blow the clouds away
I'll still feel the shame and deal with the pain
Every time it rains
Until the winds of change come and blow the clouds away
I'll still feel the shame and deal with the pain
Every time it rains


2.For Crying Out Loud

(tommy rocco/bob mcdill)

Your trying to forget
But can't believe how long it's taking
You see him on the street and
Still you feel your poor heart achin'
Don't let him that it hurts that much
Don't let him see it's been that rough
Don't let him think that you even miss him at all

You can cry in your sleep
Cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow
Cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams
Cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
'cause just hate youself anyhow
For crying out loud

If he's out in a crowd
Then just pretend that you don't see him
Look the other way and make believe that you don't need him
Don't let him take your diginity
Don't let him make you feel so weak
Don't let him think that even crosses your mind

You can cry in your sleep
Cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow
Cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams
Cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
'cause just hate youself anyhow
For crying out loud

And if he ever asks
Just say you're all right
And put on your brightest smile
Until he's out of sight
Then if you got to cry

You can cry in your sleep
Cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow
Cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams
Cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by

You can cry in your sleep
Cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow
Cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams
Cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
'cause just hate youself anyhow
For crying out loud


3.God Created Woman

(with wynonna)
(lisa webb/bruce burch/franny romeo)

It was a man's world for a day and a half
Adam had a garden for a bachelor pad
But something was missing in his paradise
Then along came eve, the apple of his eye
Without hesitation he gave into temptation
&cause god created woman to raise a little cain
Gave her a softer side, put fire into her eyes to drive a man
insane
He knew what he was doing, &cause history has proven
Since god created woman man's never been the same
Old christopher columbus would have never set sail
Without a little push from isabel
Alexander graham invented the phone
So his wife could ring a bell when she wanted his home
Some feminine persistence can make a world of difference
&cause god created woman to raise a little cain
Gave her a softer side, put fire into her eyes to drive a man
insane
He knew what he was doing, &cause history has proven
Since god created woman man's never been the same
It's all a part of the plan, for the good of every man
&cause god created woman to raise a little cain
Gave her a softer side, put fire into her eyes to drive a man
insane
He knew what he was doing, &cause history has proven
Since god created woman man's never been the same


4.Good Times

(anita cochran/bob dipiero)

Get the keys to the car, fill it up with gas
Go down to the bank and pull out a little cash
Forget about the yard, forget about the trash
Let's get a little sun
&cause it's 5 o'clock and the whistle blows
I've been working overtime eight days in a row
Grab a change of clothes and get ready, let's go
And have a little fun.
Good times, it's a good time to let the good times roll
Mile after mile, smile after smile
Headin' down the line
Hey we're having good times
Let's not worry about things gone bad
&cause life's too good to live so sad
Worn down, torn down, tired and trapped
Hey forget about that
Good times, it's a good time to let the good times roll
Mile after mile, smile after smile
Headin' down the line
Hey we're having good times
Oooh roll down the windows baby, feel the wind blow
Ohh turn up the radio, turn up the radio, hey turn up the radio
Good times, it's a good time to let the good times roll
Mile after mile, smile after smile
Headin' down the line
Hey we're having good times


5.Last Kiss

(diane warren)

I know you're going, i know this is goodbye
And i can't make you stay no matter how hard i try
And ooh if your leaving, please grant me this one request
And leave my heart with some happiness
If this is the last kiss, let's make it last all night
If this is the last time that i'm ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight, &til the morning light
If this is the last time ooh we'll ever be together
Then kiss me and baby give me something to remember you by
Pull down the shades, put your heart next to mine
Tonight give me a chance to feel heaven just one more time
And ooh if your leavin' well honey, i'll set you free
Just leave my arms with one sweet memory
If this is the last kiss, let's make it last all night
If this is the last time that i'm ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight, &til the morning light
If this is the last time ooh we'll ever be together
Then kiss me and baby give me something to remember you by
If i can't be with you baby all my life
The next best thing is you next to me all through the night
If this is the last kiss, let's make it last all night
If this is the last time that i'm ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight, &til the morning light
If this is the last time ooh we'll ever be together
Then kiss me and baby give me something to remember you by


6.Let The Guitar Do The Talkin'

(kelly garrett/craig wiseman)

I was in a band, we were scheduled to appear
At a little roadhouse called the get down here
A cinder block building with a hand-painted sign
Hunkered down straddling the county lines
When the crowd rolled in they were a motley mix
There were truckers and bikers and locals from the sticks
Each one meaner than a cougar in a cage
And the biggest one swaggered right up to the stage
He said, we've heard everybody from david allen coe
To chuck berry singing &go johnny go go
Got an autographed picture of elvis on the shelf
So tell me girl what you got to say for yourself
I let the guitar do the talkin', and the whole place started
rockin'
My fingertips weren't stoppin' and that big dude started boppin'
No need to fuss, stop the squalkin', just let the guitar do the
talkin'
Now he was over in the corner with a chesire smile
The best lookin' seventeen miles
Sittin' there makin' my poor heart sweet
I knew my chances were a long shot bet
Because a boy like that he's heard every line
And i've never been the silver-tongue kind
But i figured i had me one chance
Of gettin' that boy to dance
So i cranked up my amp...
I let the guitar do the talkin', and the whole place started
rockin'
My fingertips weren't stoppin' and that big dude started boppin'
No need to fuss, stop the squalkin', just let the guitar do the
talkin'
In a world of too many words
Sometimes your point is hard to get heard
I think i figured out a little way of getting mine through
I just put it on, tune it up and the whole place started rockin'
My fingertips weren't stoppin' and that big dude started boppin'
No need to fuss, stop the squalkin', just let the guitar do the
talkin'


7.Living My Life Now

(anita cochran/holly dunn)

Leaving here's been a long time coming
But i'm packed and my motor's running
There's nothing here i'm still needing
So i'm gonna let my heart lead me on
By the time you find me gone
I'll be living my life doing things my way
Taking the highway south
I lost my track but i'm getting it back
I've got it figured out
I'm living my life now
No more wasting my time regretting
Just giving and never getting
I'm taking my change at winning
I'm making a new beginning now
And before the sun goes down
I'll be living my life doing things my way
Taking the highway south
I lost my track but i'm getting it back
I've got it figured i'm living my life now
Everybody knows better what's better for me
And it's time that i'm breaking these chains so i can be free
I'll be living my life doing things my way
Taking the highway south
I lost my track but i'm getting it back
I've got it figured out
I'm living my life now


8.Thanks For Reading My Mind

(anita cochran/bob dipiero)

Do you know how glad i am to be in love with you
For the first time in my life i've found a love that's true
Can you feel the my heart speaking to you
It's so hard to tell you it's like a wall you see right through
Thanks for reading my mind
You know just what need to say
Time after time before the moments slip away
When i'm lost for words you say the very ones that i can't find
Thanks for reading my mind
Do you feel what i feel when we're making love
A thousand words can be heard with just a simple touch
When there's only silence do you understand
And you reach for my hand it's so good to know of course you can
Thanks for reading my mind
You know just what need to say
Time after time before the moments slip away
When i'm lost for words you say the very ones that i can't find
Thanks for reading my mind
Thanks for reading my mind
You know just what need to say
Time after time before the moments slip away
When i'm lost for words you say the very ones that i can't find
Thanks for reading my mind


9.That's Not What I Said

(anita cochran/victoria shaw)

That's not what i said but if that's what you heard
Then you didn't hear one single word
We're so far apart, something is missing
It makes it hard when no one is listening
I say black, you say white
I say day, you say night
We don't talk anymore without keeping score
I say i need time, all you hear is goodbye in your head
If that's what you heard
That's not what i said
Not long ago, there was a time
We were so close that you read my mind
Now things that we say end up being hurtful
Lately it seems we go &round in circles
I say black, you say white
I say day, you say night
We don't talk anymore without keeping score
I say i need time, all you hear is goodbye in your head
If that's what you heard
That's not what i said
Let's lay down our gloves, pay attention to love
It doesn't matter who's right
Or who's wrong
If we don't change baby it just keeps going on and on
I say black, you say white
I say day, you say night
We don't talk anymore without keeping score
I say i need time, all you hear is goodbye in your head
If that's what you heard
That's not what i said


10.What I Leave Behind

(anita cochran)

Packed my things in a suitcase
And i've put then in the car
It's no longer my place
I've convinced my heart
You know how much i love you
This i can't deny
It hurts to look around this room
At what i leave behind
A picture sets of me and you
When things were going right
Memories of things we've been through
Slowly move across my mind
The times we've shared together
The moments we've cried
Destiny is calling to another place
Still a sea of tears
Keep falling down my face
It's the hardest thing i'll ever do
To have to go one without you
But i'll try to force a smile
And say the words goodbye
To what i leave behind
Packed my things in a suitcase
And i've put then in the car


11.You With Me

(anita cochran)

All of my life, i've looked for love
But something inside said it wasn't enough
Then there was you
That's when i knew it was true and it feels so right
With all of my heart, my soul, and my mind
Would you put your hand in mine
And walk with me, talk with me
Come with me, let's make life complete
Dance with me, laugh with me
Forget the world and make love with me
You're everything i'll ever need
All of my strength the breath that i breathe
All of my hopes and dreams
Is you with me
Never before have i felt like this
Being with you is a heavenly bliss
I thank god above that he sent your love to me
As i hold you tight, look in my eyes
I promise you love for the rest of my life
If you put your hand in mine.
And walk with me, talk with me
Come with me, let's make life complete
Dance with me, laugh with me
Forget the world and make love with me
You're everything i'll ever need
All of my strength the breath that i breathe
All of my hopes and dreams
Is you with me
And walk with me, talk with me
Come with me, let's make life complete
Dance with me, laugh with me
Forget the world and make love with me
You're everything i'll ever need
All of my strength the breath that i breathe
All of my hopes and dreams
Is you with me
