1.What They Don't Know
Three kids gathered in a huddle
Broomstick fishing pole hanging in a puddle
They think they can catch that big one anywhere
And I ain't gonna tell them
Boys there ain't no fish in there
'Cause what they don't know
Just might be a blessing
Don't get 'em second guessing
Let 'em dream without a doubt
'Cause if they don't know
It can't be done they just might do it
If no one can convince them
The odds are stacked against them
There's no telling how far they can go
On what they don't know
A child bride and a groom not much older
They've got a baby and the world on their shoulders
Six out of ten don't stand a chance to last a year
Oh but they're in love and they can't see that far from here
'Cause what they don't know
Just might be a blessing
Don't get 'em second guessing
Let 'em dream without a doubt
'Cause if they don't know
It can't be done they just might do it
If no one can convince them
The odds are stacked against them
There's no telling how far they can go
On what they don't know
On what they don't know
2.In This Life
Lyrics:Mark Reid/Allen Shawblin
Music:Mark Reid/Allen Shawblin
For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
But one honest touch could set me free
Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I'd longed to find
Without your love I would be lost
Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
In this life, I was loved by you
3.Big River
Lyrics:John R.Cash
Music:John R.Cash
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I've shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I've cried over that woman
Well they're gonna flood you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her draw that southern draw
Then I heard my dream was back downstream in Davenport
Now I followed you big river when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
Freighter said you'd been here but she's gone said boy she's
gone
Well I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the
block
She raised a few eyebrows then she moved on down along
Yes she did
Now I went back down to Baton Rouge my little queen rollin' on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on I've had enough dumped my blues down in the gulf
She loves you big river more than me
When I pulled into Nachez yesterday down the river
You know there's not much there to make you stay very long
When I left it was raining so nobody saw me crying
Big river why's she treating me this way
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
I've shown the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears I've cried over that woman
Well they're gonna flood you big river
And I'm gonna sit right here until I die
Yeah I'm gonna sit right here until I die
4.Somebody Else's Moon
Lyrics:Paul Nelson/Tom Shapiro
Music:Paul Nelson/Tom Shapiro
I look out my window at the world I once owned
And I see it's still spinning round
But somewhere above me a light I once knew
No longer shines through the clouds
But that's somebody else's moon tonight
Those are somebody else's stars
They're are no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
Remember the wishes we made in the night
When dreams were supposed to come true
Well I do 'cause you put the stars in my eyes
As you softly promised the moon
That's somebody else's moon tonight
Those are somebody else's stars
They're are no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
They're no longer mine
'Cause somewhere tonight
You're in somebody else's arms
5.You Can't Take It With You
Written:Don Cook/Kix Brooks/Chick Rains
There's a look on your face that says your leavin'
You've already got one foot out the door
If it's new love or not like that you're leavin'
I won't leave the light on anymore
I still believe we could hold it together
But there's something I want you to know
When I gave you my heart I gave it forever
But you can't take it with you when you go
While you're packing your suitcase pack my memories
'Cause I don't want them around here when you're gone
And if you let that door close behind you
Say goodbye to the love we have known
I still believe we could hold it together
But there's something I want you to know
When I gave you my heart I gave it forever
But you can't take it with you when you go
When I gave you my heart I gave it forever
But you can't take it with you when you go
6.That Was A River
Written:Susan Longacre/Rick Giles
I've seen that look before
Here comes that doubt again
You think that girl we saw
Was more than just a friend
Yes, there was a time
I thought she had it all
She meant the world to me
Back when the world was small
That was a river, this is the ocean
That never carried this much emotion
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean
The love we had before
Can never change this one
We're not imprisoned by
The past we've brought along
It's just you and me
One ship in the night
There are no boundaries
There is no end in sight
That was a river, this is the ocean
That never carried this much emotion
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean
That was a river, this is the ocean
7.I Want You Bad(And That Ain't Good)
Lyrics:Jackson Leap
Music:Jackson Leap
Baby please don't get to close to me
'Cause that ring you're wearing says that you're not free
But if I said I didn't want ya
Well you know I'd be a liar
You better run while there's still time
'Cause I can't stop this fire
I want you bad I can't help myself
But you belong to someone else
I'd leave you alone
Darlin' if I could
But I want you bad and that ain't good
Baby please put away those ruby lips
And those big blue eyes are too hard to resist
I'm not that kind of man
Oh and usually I'm strong
But it's getting hard to tell between
What's right and what is wrong
I want you bad I can't help myself
But you belong to someone else
I'd leave you alone
Darlin' if I could
But I want you bad and that ain't good
I want you bad and girl that ain't good
I want you bad, bad, bad and that ain't good
8.Latter Day Cowboy
Lyrics:Hugh Prestwood
Music:Hugh Prestwood
When the boy was no more than a shaver
His man told many a tale
How his great grandad used to go drovin'
Back and forth on the Oachezown Trail
Now you might say the boy got infected
By a fantasy of the old west
For his heart and his soul got connected
To a spirit that won't let him rest
Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle
He don't spend his nights 'round a fire
He lifts diesel oil that is horses required
But he is a latter day cowboy
Dressed as a truck drivin' man
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
He beds down by the side of the highway
At the sight of the first evenin' star
In the darkness his big pony idles
As he quietly strums his guitar
And he sings out a song of his sweetheart
Even as her sweet memory grows dim
And he sings of the trail he has chosen
But the actual fact is the trail chose him
Now he don't wear spurs that go jingle
He don't spend his nights 'round a fire
He lifts diesel oil that is horses required
But he is a latter day cowboy
Dressed as a truck drivin' man
Drivin' his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
Driving his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
9.Many A Mile
Lyrics:Bob Regan/Mark D.Sanders
Music:Bob Regan/Mark D.Sanders
I look down the road that winds in the distance
And wonder where it might lead
I only know it makes no difference
As long as you walk with me
Many a mile we will travel
Many a dream we will share
Many a time we will gladly take the long way there
With every step we will draw closer
With every step our love will grow
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
True love is not a destination
But one day we will arrive
This is the journey we will be taking
The rest of our lives
Many a mile we will travel
Many a dream we will share
Many a time we will gladly take the long way there
With every step we will draw closer
With every step our love will grow
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
There will be days we're missing
All the places our love has been
There will be joy in knowing the best
Is still around the bend
With every step we will draw closer
That every turn our love will grow
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
Take my hand, we have many a mile to go
10.Let It Be Me
Written:Gilbert Becaud/Mann Curtis/Pierre Delanoe
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we make love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Each time we made love
I found complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Promise you'll always
Let it be me
