Back To You

Anita Cochran Back To You Lyrics
1.Back To You

(anita cochran/mary ann kennedy)

I've been torn between
Of what you want and what i need
Though i think it's the same thing
If you look in my eyes
Theres's a burning fire inside
And i know you feel it too
But there's a road i'm on
I've been waiting for so long
But i'll be like the morning dew
Back to you

When i reach my destiny
I can guarantee
Though the roads may all be new
One thing that is true
They'll be leading me back to you
So if i take my time
If i spread my wings to fly
Oh the wind will carry me through
Back to you

When i reach my destiny
I can guarantee
Though the roads may all be new
One thing that is true
They'll be leading me back to you

Don't worry about the distance
That's keeping us apart
The candles keep on burning
Trust me with your heart
When i reach my destiny
I can guarantee
Though the roads may all be new
One thing that is true
They'll be leading me back to you


2.Daddy Can You See Me

(anita cochran)

Momma gives birth to a little child,
Daddy waits, with a patient smile.
They tell him what he's brought into the world,
They all can tell she'll be a daddy's girl.

He hears a voice as she starts to cry,
He looks through the window tears fall from his eyes,
Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day,
He swears he hears her say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words i say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And this thing you call a teddy bear.
I'll do what i can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?

He takes me fishing like i'm one of the guys
No one can break these ties that bind.
We've got a bond that's precious and dear,
And it's stayed the same through all these years.

As i get older and time goes by,
He's got a shoulder if i need to cry,
And when i think that i'm going o.k.,
I look at him and say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words i say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And i still hold on to my teddy bear.
I'll do what i can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?

I look to the heavens for some kind of sign,
For you to tell me that i'm doing fine.
And every night when i kneel down to pray,
I wonder if you hear me say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words i say?
My life has changed since you went away
And i need to know if i'm doing o.k.
I've done all i can to make you proud
Daddy can you see me now?

Oh i've done all i can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?


3.Girls Like Fast Cars

(anita cochran)

It started at an early age, i guess around 13,
I'd hear those engines on the street and my how they would
scream.
They'd pull into the driveway and i would run and hide,
I'd overhear my brothers friends, they'd talk about their rides.
Now momma always told me, 'don't hang around those boys;
They'll get you into trouble with the cars that make the noise,'
But i had this deep desire, that momma never knew.
Girls like fast cars too.

Girls like fast cars, fast cars too.
But they like them sweet small and petite with an engine that'll
cruise.
They don't want to sound like thunder, they want their engines
smooth.
Girls like fast cars too.

Drivin' down the street one night, just the girls and me.
We've cruised this town so many times it's the hottest place to
be.
A car pulls up beside us as the redlight turns to green.
He's revin' up his engine lord it sounds like a mean machine.
But i took him by surprise with my good old chevrolet,
And when the race was over he didn't have too much to say.
But by the look that he was wearing, he'd changed his attitude.
Girls like fast cars too.

Girls like fast cars, fast cars too.
But they like them sweet small and petite with an engine that'll
cruise.
They don't want to sound like thunder, they want their engines
smooth.
Girls like fast cars too.

Yeah they do!


4.I Can Love A Man Like That

(anita cochran)

Staring out my window, who is that i see
He sure does look familar, and he's wearing boots and jean
Can't tell you where i saw him, was it on a late night screen
A cowboy in this city's something i ain't never seen
He's kockin' on the door of my two room flat
Do i let him in, what i would give to love a man like that

He walks that western walk, he talks that southern talk
He rides that rodeo, he come from san antonio
He's drivin' a big ole cadillac
Hey, i could love a man like that
Yes, i could love a man like that

He takes me by the hand as he leads me out the door
I say 'good-bye ole city, i won't be back here no more'
Well i moved here from the country thought i'd try and get ahead
Oh but every road i've taken's headed other ways instead
But i've packed up my belongings, and he's handing me the keys
I'm headed to the moutains with the man of my dreams

He walks that western walk, he talks that southern talk
He rides that rodeo, he come from san antonio
He's drivin' a big ole cadillac
Hey, i could love a man like that
Yes, i could love a man like that

Now you may think i'm crazy but i just can't explain
There's something about a cowboy that drives this girl insane

He walks that western walk, he talks that southern talk
He rides that rodeo, he come from san antonio
He's drivin' a big ole cadillac
Hey, i could love a man like that
Yes, i could love a man like that


5.One Of Those Days

(anita cochran)

Don't want to go to the movies
Or spend the day in the park
I don't want no one to call me
I just want to be alone with my heart
And think of the way that you held me
The touch of your lips on my face
Surround myself in your memory

It's just one of those days
I want to lay in my sorrow
I want to drown in my tears
Don't want to think of tomorrow
Until these thoughts disappear
Then i'll be back on my feet again
Before it's too late
As for now i want to be alone
It's just one of those days
It's just one of those days

I want to think about texas
Driving the coast of malibu
Wherever my minds wants to take us
I don't care long as i'm there with you
Why do i put myself thru this when
Most of the time i'm okay
But here and now i can feel it

It's just one of those days
I want to lay in my sorrow
I want to drown in my tears
Don't want to think of tomorrow
Until these thoughts disappear
Then i'll be back on my feet again
Before it's too late
As for now i want to be alone
It's just one of those days
It's just one of those days

Then i'll be back on my feet again
Before it's too late
As for now i want to be alone
It's just one of those days
It's just one of those days
It's one of those days


6.She Wants To Ride

(anita cochran)

18 a young girl, graduates from school
She's got the future to do the things she wants to do.
Little did she know, she would let her heart give in
The plans she made for life would change so she could be with
him.

A baby's born but she knows, their love is just not right,
The pressure's on, is it right or wrong for her to change her
life,
Or should she stay committed and hold her feelings deep inside,
Society has got her down and she wants to run wild.

She wants to ride, a horse cross country
She wants to feel, wind brush against her skin
She needs to find, what she's been missing
She wants to ride, until she finds herself again

She got the courage up to go out on her own
She took the little child and found them a new home
She's working now, but it's so hard down at the factory.
With little pay at the end of the day she can barely make ends
meet.

Years went by so quickly, though it seemed like time stood still
Standing by her front door, she could feel the winter's chill.
She looks to the horizon where she sees the setting sun
She feels the urge inside her and it makes her want to run

She wants to ride, a horse cross country
She wants to feel, wind brush against her skin
She needs to find, what she's been missing
She wants to ride, until she finds herself again

Even though she's had a rough life,
She wouldn't trade it for the world
The treasures that she owns lie in her little girl.
And when she feels the old desires,
That her troubles often bring
She can go to bed at night and find them in her dreams...where

She wants to ride, a horse cross country
She wants to feel, wind brush against her skin
She needs to find, what she's been missing
She wants to ride, until she finds herself again

Oh oh, she wants to ride
Oh she wants to ride, she wants to ride,
She wants to ride, she wants to ride
She wants to ride until she finds herself again.


7.What If I Said(Anita Cochran&Steve Wariner)

(anita cochran)

We've been friends for a long long time
You tell me your secrets and i'll tell you mine
She's left you all alone
And you feel like no one cares
But i have never failed you
I've always been there

You tell your story
It sounds a bit like mine
It's the same old situation
It happens every time
Can't we see it oh maybe you and me
Is what's meant to be
Do we disagree

What if i told you what if i said that i love you
How would you feel what would you think
What would we do
Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine
Or would i lose a friend or find a love that would never end
What if i said

She doesn't love you oh it's' plain to see
I can read between the lines of what you're telling me
He doesn't hold you the way a woman should be held
How long can i go on keeping these feelings to myself

What if i told you what if i said that i love you
How would you feel what would you think
What would we do
Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine
Or would i lose a friend or find a love that would never end
What if i said

Oh we've both had our share of lonliness
So whose to say that we can't have a little happiness
And if i found that in you
It would make my dreams come true
Or would you walk away
Hear what i have to say

What if i told you what if i said that i love you
How would you feel what would you think
What would we do

Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine
I've always wondered from the day we met
What if i said
What if i said
What if i said


8.Will You Be Here

(anita cochran)

You ask me, if i love you
It's something i should know by now
Well, i don't look at love
As something you play with
When i give my heart, i give it all

But it's been awhile
Since i've felt these old feelings
You're tearing down walls
That i've built 'round my heart
So i have to ask if you're sure that you're ready
Before i let the rest of me fall

Will you be here, when i need a shoulder
And hold to my hand when i need you most
Promise your love, always and forever
It's something that's got to be clear
Will you be here

When the nights are long
And the chill gets colder
Will your heart stay strong
And love with no doubt
Will you look at me, when i get older
The same way you look at me now

Will you be here, when i need a shoulder
And hold to my hand when i need you most
Promise your love, always and forever
It's something that's got to be clear
Will you be here


9.Wrong Side Of Town

(anita cochran)

Bobby little lives on the other side of town,
He's got a picture of a girl in a gown,
He tells his daddy,' someday youll see, she will be with me.'
His daddy tells him, ' son its just not right.
Shes from money boy, she's not your kind.
Dont even call, shell just turn you down.
You'refrom the wrong side of town.'

But every sunday after sunday school
Dressed in his finest hopin' she never knew.
He'd walk her home then he'd say good-bye with tears in his
eyes,
She lives uptown in a big white house.
He knows someday but he don't know how.
Lord its not what he prefers, he'll have to break the news to
her.
He's from the wrong side of town.

He doesn't have money, no he doesn't have have fortune or fame.
And he doesn't understand why he has to live his life in shame.
But he knows that he loves her, can he make her see somehow,
It shouldn't matter if he's from the wrong side of town.

Next sunday its the same routin, oh but this tiem hes wearin'
his jeans
He thinks its teh last time he'll walk her home, then he'll be
alone.
He takes her by the hand the truth he'll face
He knows in his heart she's gonna walk away, but she takes him
by surprise.
She looks into his eyes and says ' your from the wrong side of
town.'

Well i don't need money, no i don't need fortune or fame,
And i dont know why you have to live your life feeling ashamed.
Dont you know that i love you, well i hope you do by now,
It doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town
No it doesn't matter if your from the wrong side of town

Oh bobby little lives on the other side of town,
She stands beside him in her wedding gown


10.You're The Break

(karen staley/brian keith burns)

I never had much luck with romance
Anytime it ever got near me.
Love seemed to slip through my hands
Took me as low as a girl could be.
So if i act a little gun shy don't think it's 'cause i don't
want you.
I know you'll understand just why
When i tell you what my heart's been through.

It's been bulldozed deep froze heaven knows
It's a true connoisseur of pain.
It's been loosed double crossed rolled up
And hand tossed left out in the pourin' rain.
It's been beat down kicked around
Stomped into the hard ground slammed like a finger in the door.
But honey you're the break,
My heart's been waitin' for.

You're like a breath of fresh air
Dry land to a ship at sea.
Boy i'm sendin up my last flare
I think you're gonna rescue me
Baby i'm countin' on your touch
Io get us back on the mend
My heart's gotten hurt so much
It sure could use a friend

It's been bulldozed deep froze heaven knows
It's a true connoisseur of pain.
It's been loosed double crossed rolled up
Snd hand tossed left out in the pourin' rain.
It's been beat down kicked around
Dtomped into the hard ground slammed like a finger in the door.
But honey you're the break,
My heart's been waitin' for.
