1.Meet In The Middle

(chaplin hartford/jim foster/don pfrimmer)

It was seven hundred fenceposts from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was raining, sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

It's been seven years tomorrow since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now
Standing in the back yard reminding me and you
That if we don't see eye to eye there's something we can do

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

Babe i love the way we work it out
That's what love's about

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle


2.This State Of Mind

Chorus

Oh i can't go on living in this state of mind
It's stay and go crazy or leave it all behind
One way or another i'm gonna cross that line
'cause i can't go on living in this state of mind

There's no way to avoid her
Living in this tiny texas town
So i'm packing up my broken heart
Leaving and i pray i don't break down
Well i really love the lone star
But i can't stand seeing her around

Chorus

I'm outside amarillo
Feeling better every mile i roll
And when i hit glen rio
That's as far as her memory will go
Well, running from a woman
Might sound foolish i know

Chorus


3.Mirror Mirror

(bob dipiero/john jarrard/mark d. sanders)

Mirror, mirror, on my wall,
Tell me, who is the loneliest fool of all
No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me

Spent most of the morning laying in bed
Lunch was a black coffee and three cigarettes
They say it will kill me, but i've got a hunch
That this broken heart's gonna beat 'em to the punch

Mirror, mirror, on my wall,
Tell me, who is the loneliest fool of all
No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me

Yes, i'm the one who swore she would stay
Right up to the moment the u-haul drove away
She didn't leave a table; she didn't leave a chair
But she knew what she was doing when she left you hanging there

Mirror, mirror, on my wall,
Tell me, who is the loneliest fool of all
No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me

No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me


4.Ballad Of Conley And Billy The Proof's In The Picken'

Screamn' whitewall tires and a guitar by his side
Billy's got the fever as he rolls on thru the night
Some were born to listen, some were born to play
He was lightning on the highstrings and thunder on the bass

Chorus

He could play it high, he could play it low
He could make it cry, he could make it moan
He knows when push comes to shove
The proof's in the pickin'

In a smoky little tavern just off of bourbon street
Tobacco stained fingers waited on the down beat
Conley was the master, the undisputed king
He'd ruled the town for thirty years
With an army of six strings

Chorus

Sometimes after midnight billy drives through new orleans
Straight to the french quarter there's a man he has to see
The music is a raging like a city that's on fire
Billy felt just like an altar boy at the feet of a higher power
Conley watched as billy walked across the room
Opened his case and started a tune
The whole club was silent and the lights were turned down low
Billy stepped up on the stage and conley whispered go son, go
§

Chorus

Conley held his hand up, no one made a sound
And he handed bill his old archtop and stepped into the crowd
Billy played it soft, billy played it sad
Then he made it talk and in came the band
Soon the room was shaking before billy's wall of sound
And just a block off bourbon street, a new king's been crowned.

Chorus


5.Nowhere Bound

You save up your money, buy you some shoes
The highway's calling and she's right on cue
Just when you thought you had it beat
You're leaving town on a one-way street

Chorus

It's a hard, hard lesson
But you're gonna have to learn it
It's a long cold swim up against the current
And somewhere down the line
You're gonna have to turn it around
'cause boy right now you're nowhere bound

Her words still echo thru your mind
But fade away as you cross the county line
Running from trouble or from the truth
It doesn't matter either way you lose

Chorus

Well you walk ten miles just to make new tracks
But you turn around and find that it's twenty miles back
And it's never gonna change it you keep leaving
Your heart's gonna break, but never break even

Where to now, do you know?
One thing's for certain
Gonna reap just what you sow
And all you planted was heartache and pain
Don't look now but it looks like rain.


6.It's Gone

I don't know how it happened but it did
I don't know why it's over but it is
I don't know where it comes from when it's on
I don't know where it goes to but it's gone.

You used to brush my mind with tender thoughts
We could say it all and never talk
But lately our love's only flesh and bone
I don't know where it went to but it's gone

Chorus

We used to light the darkness up,
Make love without a touch
Be ourselves and never be alone,
Somethin' lived between us then
I always thought would never end
But like the wind i guess it just moved on
I don't know where it went to
But it's gone.

I don't understand it but i know
The blush of love once bright no longer glows
And i can't put it back by hangin' on
I don't know where it went to but it's gone.

Chorus

I don't know where it went to but it's gone.


7.Norma Jean Riley

(monty powell/dan truman/rob honey)

Wish i had a car, top rolled down, the music up loud
Follow that girl all over town and see
Norma jean riley's gonna notice me
Wish i had a dog, seen her in the park with a puppy on a string
Looking so cute maybe sooner or later we'd meet
Norma jean riley's gonna talk to me

Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna notice me

Oughta learn to dance, with the hottest moves and the latest
styles
Get her on the dance floor and after awhile you'll see
Norma jean riley's gonna dance with me

Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna notice me

Gonna write a song, sing about her hair, her lips and her eyes
Bring her to tears with my heartfelt honesty
Norma jean riley's gonna fall for me

Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna fall for me

Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna marry me


8.Mama Don't Forget To Pray For Me

(larry shell/larry cordle)

Well hello, it's good to hear your voice
I hate to call so late, but i didn't have a choice
I'm calling you from dallas, headed for l.a.
I wish i had more time to talk, there's so much to say

No i ain't forgot how i was raised
But i'm livin' way too fast
It's a roller coaster ride, up and down
My new job is going great, i'm headed for the top
I should be happy but somehow i'm not
Sometimes i think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Oh, mama don't forget to pray for me

Tell me how is the weather?
Have you put the garden out?
Are the dogwoods bloomin' out behind the house?
No i'm not sick, there's nothin' wrong, don't wake up dad
I just thought of you and home and got a little sad

No i ain't forgot how i was raised
But i'm livin' way too fast
It's a roller coaster ride, up and down
My new job is going great, i'm headed for the top
I should be happy but somehow i'm not
Oh, sometimes i think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Oh, mama don't forget to pray for me
Oh, mama don't forget to pray for me


9.Pick Me Up

Sittin' in my pickup truck
Listening to the country station
Singer singing 'bout a lasting love
Me, i'm losing patience
'cause i don't know what he's talking about
I fell so far that i can't get out
A helping hand on a hopeless heart
Is all i need for a brand new start

Chorus

Pick me up so i can fall again
Help me get back on my feet again
I gotta get back to ground zero
Before i have a chance to win
Pick me up so i can fall again

She sits down beside me at the caf?bar
Lookin' better than she ought to
Another chance for true romance
And i pray that it won't fall thru
I hope you know what i'm talkin' about
I'm in so deep that i can't climb out
A healing hand on a hurtin' heart is all i need
For a brand new start
Pick me up so i can fall again

Chorus

Pick me up, pick me up
Pick me up so i can fall again
