1.That's My Story
Written：Lee Roy Parnell／Tony Haselden
I came in as the sun came up
She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said where you been, so I thought real hard and said,
I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard
She said you don't know it boy but you just blew it
I said well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story, that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness I can't prove it but
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
Well I got that deer in the headlights look
She read my face like the cover of a book, and said
Don't expect me to believe all that static
'Cause just last week I through that hammock in the attic
My skin got so thin you could see right through it
And I stuttered, well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story, that's my story
That's my story, that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness I can't prove it but
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
You know time comes when a wise man knows the best thing
That he can do is just look her up in the eye
And beg for mercy and face the bitter truth
Well honey me and the boys played cards all night
Wasn't no hanky panky not a woman in sight
And I know I shoulda called and baby I'm really sorry
Let's get a cellular phone then you won't have to worry
You know how much I love you and darling I'm ready to prove it
And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story, that's my story
That's my story, that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness and you know I can't prove it but
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
You know I ain't gonna do a thing
Unless you approve it and
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
2.Man of My Word
Lyrics：Allen Shamlin／Gary Burr
Music：Allen Shamlin／Gary Burr
I'm a man of my word
I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond
Well
that's just my way
When you've made a promise
To someone who's gone
Well
that's when forever
Seems a little too long
I'm a man of my word
And
I made you a vow
I swore that I'd love you
And I can't change that now
They tell me I'm free
To find someone new
I just don't have the heart
'Cause I gave mine to you
I said my love
Would last for all time
And
no one
Would take your place
Well if that promise
Was the last sound you heard
Well you know I kept it
I'm a man of my word
I'm a
man of my word
And it's cost me so dear
'Cause those words are a prison
Without
you here
And I'll go to my grave
With this torch held high
Bust just
once I wish
I had told you a lie.
Yes I'll always love you
I'm
a man of my word
3.My Kind Of Girl
Written：Debi Cochran／John Jarrard／Monty Powell
When I saw you buying Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine
I said to myself now there's a girl for me
And when I asked you to go for a ride
You stole my heart when you said if I can drive
I said how 'bout some music, you said, you got any Merle？
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
And when we started talking I could not believe my ears
You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years
You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King
You said your favourite movie star would always be James Dean
And when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
Yeah you march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind
Yeah you march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We're two peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind
I said I think I love you, you said what's not to love
I thought about a kiss but I wasn't quick enough
I guess while I was thinking you were reading my mind
'Cause you wrapped your arms around me and you pressed your lips
to mine
You sent my head spinning like a Tilt-a-Wheel
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
You sent my head spinning like a Tilt-a-Wheel
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
My kind my kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind my kind of girl
You're my kind of girl
My kind my kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind my kind of girl
4.Little Rock
Lyrics：Tom Douglas
Music：Tom Douglas
I know I've disappeared a time or two
Along the way I lost me and you
I needed a new town for my new start
I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart
I haven't had a drink in 19 days
My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze
I like the preacher from the Church of Christ
I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night
I think I'm on a roll
Here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone
Wait and see
I got just one small problem
Here in Little Rock
Without you
Baby I'm not me
Without you
Baby I'm not me
I don't know why I held it all inside
You must've thought I never even tried
You know your daddy told me when I left
Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget
Lyin' here upon this motel bed
Thoughts of you explode within my head
Like a castle built upon the sand
I let love crumble in my hand
5.A Bible and A Bus Ticket Home
Written：Craig Wiseman／James Dean Hicks
Mamma's tears fell so easy
Daddy's handshake was strong
Then I climbed aboard that Greyhound
Eighteen and glad to be gone
Took a rented room on broadway
As I unpacked everything I owed
I found a note my mamma left me
With a Bible and a bus ticket home (It said)
One will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If you're dreams ain't waiting there
You're out on your own now
We won't be there to fall back on
But you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
The years have come and gone and taken
The only things in life I ever counted on
But I'm going back tomorrow
To lay flowers on their stone.
I can almost hear my mamma calling
Saying son come back where you belong
You've got all you need to get here
A Bible and a bus ticket home
One will get you where you're going
When you haven't got a prayer
And one will bring you back son
If you're dreams ain't waiting there
You're out on your own now
We won't be there to fall back on
But you know we're never farther
Than a Bible and a bus ticket home.
6.Nothin' A Little Love Won't Cure
Written：Rick Bowles／Don Cook／Larry Boone
It's been one of those days I can do no right
I can't win for losing try as I might
I'm feeling walked on like an old doormat
Lord, I hate feeling like that
Though my best laid plans took a slight detour
Ain't nothing a little love won't cure.
Ain't nothing your arms around me tight
Can't turn around and make all right
So, shut that crazy world outside
Love me back to life tonight.
It's been one of those days
I should've stayed in bed
I've been getting my brains beat out instead
I took it on the chin, I took there best shot
But I'll be O.K. when I'm punching that clock.
'Cause, when I'm back in your arms one thing's for sure
Ain't nothing a little love won't cure
7.If I Were You
Lyrics：Chris Farren／John Hobbs
Music：Chris Farren／John Hobbs
You wanna know
Where we go from here
So many roads
But none that seem clear
Is what we have enough
To last a whole life through
Who knows, who knows.
So you're asking me
What do we do
Cuz time moves so fast
And the chances seem so few
Is it too much to think
That we could have it all
Who knows, we may never know.
But if I were you I'd promise to
Live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given
And leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to tell you
Everything you'll ever need
And if I were you
I'd fall in love with me
So hold me close
I'll kiss away your fears
I won't promise the moon
But I promise to be here
And what if together
If gets better every day
Who knows, who knows.
8.To The Border And Beyond
Lyrics：Collin Raye
Music：Collin Raye
Well Duggan was a purebred hill country kicker
He loved to shoot his pistols
And he loved to drink his liquor
His daddy had long since given up on tryin'
To tame him
He knew he hated sweatin' in the fields
He couldn't blame him
But when his only son robbed the Chillicothe Flyer
He guessed the days were numbered
Till he'd have to face the fire
Well Duggan rode up to the house
His pa ran out to meet him
He said 'Son, why'd you do it？'
Duggan said 'I had my reasons'
His daddy told him, 'Boy, you've always been
So full of juice, but any day your neck
It will be hangin' in a noose.'
Duggan winked and mounted, stirred his
Horse into a lather
He never looked back... guess it really didn't matter
It wasn't too long till a team of Texas Rangers
Pounded on the door, man, faces
Filled with anger
Duggan's papa opened up, said 'No need to shout,
I don't know where he is
But I know what he's all about.'
He likes to dance out to the edge
He likes to cut to the chase
You see he's never been one for reinin' back
To a slow and steady pace
If you ask me where he's bound
Well, boys, I just can't respond
But from the look in his eyes
It's a safe bet he's headed
To the border and beyond.
Well the moral of this tale
Is you can't change a leopard's spots
Don't blame a man for failing to be
Something that he's not
So girl, with that in mind
Won't you step into the light
We'll move just left of center
Till we finally get it right
Remember I'm a push it to the limit
Kind of guy
You may ask me how we'll do it
But no need to ask me why
I like to dance out to the edge
I like to cut to the chase
You see, I've never been one for reinin' back
To a slow and steady pace
If you ask me where we're bound
Well, honey, I just can't respond
But from the look in your eyes
It's a safe bet we're headed
To the border and beyond.
9.Angel Of No Mercy
Written：Chapin Hartford／Jim Mcbride
Heaven knows where I'd be now
If you had not found me
On that road that takes a man
To places he's not meant to be.
I wasn't ready for the touch
That turned my life around
Now I'm helpless in your hands
It's love that ties me down.
Angel of no mercy
Girl you take my breath away
And it feels so good it hurts me
To think that you might fly away
Can't you see that I've surrendered
You stole this old heart blind
You're an angel of no mercy
But I don't mind.
Ain't it strange how love can take
A heart that's hard as steel
Hold it tightly in the fire
And teach that cold heart how to feel.
Touch me now, I'm still not sure
You're truly flesh and bone
Heaven knows you can't be from
This world that I live on.
Angel of no mercy
Girl you take my breath away
And it feels so good it hurts me
To think that you might fly away
Can't you see that I've surrendered
You stole this old heart blind
You're an angel of no mercy
But I don't mind.
10.Dreaming My Dreams With You
Lyrics：Allen Reynolds
Music：Allen Reynolds
I hope it won't be that wrong anymore
Maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reachin' for
The way it is in my mind
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreamimg my dreams with you.
But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of.
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreamimg my dreams with you.
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreamimg my dreams with you.
