1.Home In My Heart(North Carolina)

(rodney crowell/claudia church)

I remember waking up
Running down a dirt road
Morning dew a shinin', watermelon by the wagon load
Little baby brother and my sisters in the shade
Listening to the crickets and the music that they made
Riding on a tractor with my granpa in the summertime
Cold bologna sandwich, green tomatoes on the garden vine
Billy joe mcmillan was the first boy that i ever knew
He moved to california and it broke my heart in...

North carolina...your pine trees so tall
Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls
Your blue ridge mountains
Your fields and your streams
Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams
Of north carolina...home in my heart

Skinny legs and barefoot on the top of an abandoned car
Pouring out my heart just like a country music singing star
Pinecone for a microphone
Full moon for a spotlight
Shining down from heaven, like it's smiling on me

North carolina...your pine trees so tall
Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls
Your blue ridge mountains
Your fields and your streams
Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams
Of north carolina...home in my heart

Although it seems like yesterday
I'm still a million miles away
Going to the ocean in my uncle's new sedan
Daddy's in the army, there's a war in vietnam
Mama kept us going with her sewing and a prayer
It's hard to be a family when your daddy's missing

North carolina...your pine trees so tall
Your hills and your valleys, your cool waterfalls
Your blue ridge mountains
Your fields and your streams
Are lost on the back roads that run through my dreams
Of north carolina...home in my heart

Home in my heart
Home in my heart


2.It's All Your Fault

(annie roboff/fred knobloch)

Hey baby don't you think i know
I've been acting real funny for a week or so
It's not like me to see things through
But i've never seen a sight quite like you
It's time for me to face the facts
I've gone too far and i can't turn back

I'm in love and it's all your fault
Turned my head and my heart got caught
Gone, without a thought
I'm in love and its all your fault

I've survived behind these walls
Never thought that i could see them fall
Hey now baby, i can't believe
That i give in so easily

The look in your eyes, the feel of your lips
The touch of your skin on my fingertips

I'm in love and it's all your fault
Turned my head and my heart got caught
Gone, without a thought
I'm in love and its all your fault

Ahh yeah!!
The look in your eyes, the feel of your lips
The touch of your skin on my fingertips

I'm in love and it's all your fault
Turned my head and my heart got caught
Gone, without a thought
I'm in love and its all your fault

Turned my head and my heart got caught
Gone, without a thought
I'm in love and it's all your fault

Yeeaaahhh!!!!!
Turned my head and my heart got caught
Gone, without a thought
I'm in love and it's all your fault


3.I Don't Fall In Love So Easy

(rodney crowell)

I dont fall in love so easy
I don't even know how it feels
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know if its real
Too strong dont mean its for long
Too deep dont mean its for keeps
Fast doesn't last
I dont fall in love so easy
But, i'm falling in love with you

I dont give my heart to just anyone
I dont dont even know how to do it
I dont give my hand to just any man
I dont want to put myself through it

I dont want what i dont want
I cant feel what i dont feel
Its sad but, its true
I dont fall in love so easy
But, i'm falling in love with you

I used to pray for someday to change
But, i found new ways to stay the smae
Until you came

I dont fall in love so easy
I dont even know where to start
I dont fall in love so easy
I dont understand my own heart

Its so hard to drop my guard
I dont know how to just let go
But, what else can i do
I dont fall in love so easy
But, i'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love with you
Yes, i'm falling in love with you


4.Just As Long As You Love Me

(keith sykes)

I want to be with you
Just as long as you love me
Yes, i want to be with you
Just as long as you love me
I can climb the mountain high
I can spread my wings and fly
But, i could never say good-bye
Just as long as you love me

I'm as tall as a live oak tree
Just as long as you stay with me
I'm everything that i want to be
Just as long as you stay with me
I can give my heart and soul
I can give you love untold
But, i could never stop i know
Just as long as you love me
Just as long as you love me

I wanna be with you
Just as long as you want me to
Yes, i want to be with you
Just as long as you want me to
I can climb the mountain high
I can spread my wings and fly
But, i could never say good-bye
Just as long as you love me
Just as long as you love me
Just as long as you love me
Just as long as you love me


5.Lost In A Feeling

(rodney crowell)

I want you but, i dont know why
You make me laugh until i cry
And i feel so funny with skies so sunny and blue
I like you and your homemade charm
It feels so good walking on your arm
If you're making advances, i'm taking my chances with you

I'll always be a small town girl
Learning to live out in a big old world
My heart's on the ceiling
I'm lost in a feeling with you

You're crazy, but that's okay
When you look my way it's a brand new day
Bells start ringing and birds start singing a tune
I'm living in a beautiful dream
Where the days go by like a peach ice cream
If you keep calling, i'll keep falling for you

I'll always be a small town girl
Learning to live out in a big old world
My heart's on the ceiling
I'm lost in a feeling with you

I love you, so there i said it
The way you're smiling, i dont regret it
I'm old fashioned but i've got a passion for you

I'll always be a small town girl
Learning to live out in a big old world
My heart's on the ceiling
I'm lost in a feeling with you

My heart's on the ceiling
I'm lost in a feeling with you


6.Small Town Girl

(james dean hicks/claudia church)

Her mama hangs up the clothes on the line
Wearin' a smile while she's doing it
Her daddy makes a living one day at a time
For 23 years he's come through with it
But she's 17 and dreams of so much more
Than a restless heart
A rusted-out car
And a job at the local food store

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams
She pictures herself
On vogue magazine
Well that mountain ahead
Aint as high as it seems
For a small town girl
With big city dreams

Her best friend's crazy
About a football star
When she gets out of school
She's gonna marry him
Sometimes she wishes
She was more like her
Without this ambition she's carrying
But her mind runs away
When she lays down at night
How to get there from here
It all seems so clear
When she turns out the light

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams
She pictures herself
On vogue magazine
Well that mountain ahead
Aint as high as it seems
For a small town girl
With big city dreams

Her mama hangs the clothes on the line
Her daddy makes a living one day at a time

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams
She pictures herself
On vogue magazine
Well that mountain ahead
Aint as high as it seems
For a small town girl
With big city dreams

She's a small town girl
With big city dreams


7.The Streets Of Nashville

(hank devito/lynn langham/rodney crowell)

I met a man who said he played with hank williams
On the streets of nashville
I met a woman who said she danced with elvis
On the streets of nashville
I saw two brothers who'd been singing at the opry
On the streets of nasvhille
And i met you darlin' and you swept me off my feet
On the streets of nashville

Some come for glitter, some for gold
Some get their rhinestone cadillacs and drive 'em home
I don't want money, i don't need fame
Don't need neon shining all around my name
I need you darlin and the way you loved me
On the streets of nashville

These streets are filled with jukebox dreams and dime store
souvenirs
And every night a brand new song
Sneaks up behind me to remind me you're not here
I wan't you darlin and the way you loved me
One the streets of nasvhille

Some come for glitter, some for gold
Some get their rhinestone cadillacs and drive 'em home
I don't want money, i don't need fame
Don't need neon shining all around my name
I want you darlin' and the way you loved me
On the streets of nashville

I need you darlin' and the way you loved me
On the streets of nasvhille
On the streets of nashville


8.This Man I Love

(rodney crowell)

This man i love knows what i want
He loves me even when i don't
He's never in a hurry
He never makes me worry
This man i love knows what i want

This man i love knows how i feel
His hands are soft upon the wheel
He turns me on so easy
Does everything to please me
This man i love knows how i feel
And if i need to spend some time alone
This man i love don't treat me like i'm doing something wrong

This man i love knows how to live
Knows when to take and how to give
He lets me spend his money
He even thinks it's funny
This man i love knows how to live

When clouds get dark sometimes i lose my way
This man i love is there to lead me to the light of day
This man i love knows what i want
Knows when i do and if i don't
He has a way about him and i dont ever doubt him
This man i love knows what i want
He loves me even when i don't
This man i love knows what i want


9.What's The Matter With You Baby

(beth nielsen chapman/annie roboff)

One stop true love
Don't knock the stars above
You can't blame the moon for a broken heart
Sweet talk
Drive through
There' nothing left to do
But tear those old love letters apart

Fat chance romance
He pulls you close to dance
You've never met a man who could hold you down
He's caught your smile
You've up and drove him wild
You're head on his shoulder
But you're looking around

Ooh what's the matter with you baby
Whatever happened to that first kiss
You couldn't resist
Now you're thinking you can do better than this
Ooh whats the matter with you baby
Do you only want the ones
That you know you can't have
True love so much better than that

Close fit that's it
All that matters is
You wake up in the arms of the one you love
Through tidal waves
Undertow
Holding on
Letting go
There's no such thing as gettin enough

Ooh what's the matter with you baby
Whatever happened to that first kiss
You couldn't resist
Now you're thinking you can do better than this
Ooh whats the matter with you baby
Do you only want the ones
That you know you can't have
True love so much better than that

Yeah you move so fast
That you never could know
Yeah there's someone out there
Made to love you

So what's the matter with you baby
Now dont you wait till your sweet smile
Goes out of style
You've kept your poor heart waitin a while
Ooh what's the matter with you baby
I guess you only want the ones
That you know you can't have
True love so much better than
Better than that

Better than that
Better than that
Better than that
What's the matter with you baby(beth nielsen chapman/annie
roboff)

One stop true love
Don't knock the stars above
You can't blame the moon for a broken heart
Sweet talk
Drive through
There' nothing left to do
But tear those old love letters apart

Fat chance romance
He pulls you close to dance
You've never met a man who could hold you down
He's caught your smile
You've up and drove him wild
You're head on his shoulder
But you're looking around

Ooh what's the matter with you baby
Whatever happened to that first kiss

True love so much better than that

Letting go
There's no such thing as gettin enough

Whatever happened to that first kiss
You couldn't resist
Now you're thinking you can do better than this
Ooh whats the matter with you baby

10.Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow? is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can i believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow? tonight with words unspoken
You say that i'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun? i'd like to know that your
love
Is love i can be sure of
So tell me now, and i won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
