1.If You Can Do Anything Else

Lyrics:Don Schlitz/Billy Livsey
Music:Don Schlitz/Billy Livsey

Would you like to live in Houston where the cowboys come to town
Or maybe Pensacola where the sunshines all year 'round
Or even New York City where the city never sleeps
I'm offering you the option before you get in too deep.

If you can anything else, baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start, you can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it, but if you can't,
Baby, you can you stay right here.

There's work up in Seattle if you don't mind the rain
San Diego to Savannah, they'd all be glad you came
But life with me would always be a roller coaster ride
You won't hurt my feelings whatever you decide.

If you can anything else, baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start, you can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it, but if you can't,
Baby, you can you stay right here.

This place might look real good right now,
But lookin' good don't last
But if you choose it, anyhow,
I'll give you all I have.

If you can anything else, baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start, you can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it, but if you can't,
Baby, you can you stay right here.

Baby, you can you stay right here.

Oh baby, you can you stay right here.

Well baby, you can you stay right here...


2.Don't Make Me Come Over There And Love You

Written:Jim Lauderdale/Carter Wood

Don't make me come over there and love you
I'd be beside you in a single bound
Don't make me come over there and love you,
'Cause I will, right now.

I don't need any explanation
For why I crave all your honey talk.
Don't make me come over there and love you,
'Cause it's a short walk.

You better tone down your persuasion.
Start behavin', before I go and fall apart.

My heart's been on a long vacation,
but now it's beatin like a cha-cha-cha.
Don't make me come over there and love you,
'Cause I will, right now.


You better tone down your persuasion.
Start behavin' before I go and fall apart.

Don't make me come over there and love you,
Because it's lookin' like a perfect spot.
Don't make me come over there and love you
And give all I got.

Don't make me come over there and love you,
'Cause I will, right now,
Yes, I will, right now.
Don't make me come over there and love you...


3.Looking Out My Window Through The Pain

Lyrics:John Schweers
Music:John Schweers

I watched from my window as she slipped from the house
Once again she's leaving, but Lord, she's not to blame
This morning a memory phoned her and he's a habit she can't
break
So 'til she returns I'll wait for her, looking out my window
through the pain.

The devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again she's chasing memories and I'm losing everything
But I love her so I'll wait for her, looking out my window
through the pain.

I'll pick up the pieces when he lets her down again
With love and understanding, I'll give her reasons this time to
stay
And I'll close my eyes pretending maybe someday she will change
And I won't be left lonely, looking out my window through the
pain.

Yes, the devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's still hung up on some guy from
yesterday
Once again she's chasing memories and I'm losing everything
But Lord I love her so I'll wait for her, looking out my window
through the pain...


4.Go On

Lyrics:Tony Martin/Mark Nesler
Music:Tony Martin/Mark Nesler

I'm so sorry I keep interrupting, what were you gonna say?
You caught him cheatin', I don't blame you for walkin' away.
I know where you're comin' from it sounds like where I've been
Oh, there I go interrupting your story once again.

Go on, go on,
You were sayin' how a fool can only fool you so long
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else you can do but go on.

Our conversation won't change nothin', but it's sure nice to
talk
With somebody who's been cut out of the same ol' cloth
You know how you said happiness can't be found lookin' back
If you don't mind maybe we can talk a little more about that.

Go on, go on,
You were sayin' this is better than sittin' at home
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on.

Even when you see no reason to
Don't wait to live life 'cause it won't wait for you.

Go on, please go on,
You were sayin' what don't kill us only makes us strong
It's true, that's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on.

Just go on.
Life goes on, and on...


5.If It's Gonna Rain

Written:Dean Dillon/Donny Kees/Scotty Emerick

If it's gonna rain I hope it pours
Thunder and lightning like never before
'Cause that's how I feel here in my heart
If it's gonna rain let the storm start.

If you're gonna leave go on and go
Don't even look back when you hit the road
If that's how you feel about you and me
Now's a good time so go on and leave.

I've never been one for doing
Something half the way
I've loved you with all my heart
But it's all been in vain.

It's gonna hurt, cut to the bone
Break my heart in two when you move on
I'm gonna cry a river of tears
It's gonna rain and rain and rain 'round here for years.


I'm gonna cry a river of tears
It's gonna rain let the storm start
It's gonna rain, I hope it pours...


6.Home Improvement

Written:Dana Hunt/Tim Ryan Rouillier

The walls that surround us are slowly crumblin' down
But the heart of this foundation is still on solid ground
Just need some renovation and a lot of T L C
And a long night of lovin' is all that we both need.

Chorus:
So roll the shades down, lock the doors up tight, turn on the
code-a-phone
If the door bell rings we'll just stay in bed and pretend
nobody's home
Let the neighbors think we moved away or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong with this old house,
It just needs a little home improvement.


Every day we go our separate ways to make our dreams come true
But it ain't worth the sacrifice if we're giving up me and you
We gotta hold on tighter than tight to the ties that make us
strong
And get back to the roots that made this house a home.

Chorus:
So roll the shades down, lock the doors up tight, turn on the
code-a-phone,
If the door bell rings we'll just stay in bed and pretend
nobody's home,
Let the neighbors think we moved away or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong with this old house,
It just needs a little home improvement.

Chorus:
So roll the shades down, lock the doors up tight, turn on the
code-a-phone
If the door bell rings we'll just stay in bed and pretend
nobody's home
Let the neighbors think we moved away or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong with this old house,
It just needs a little home improvement...


7.The Night's Just Right For Love

Lyrics:Rodney Crowell
Music:Rodney Crowell

I don't mind the thought of growing old
But I don't Want to lose my sense of humor
I'm okay as long as I can laugh
I don't care if everything goes wrong
Even if it's only for awhile
I'm alright if I can see you smile
You're an old-fashioned girl
At home in the modern world
The night's just right for love.

If somewhere down the line the wheels come off
You may find me broke down by the highway
I'm alright as long as I can walk
If it comes to pass I'm losing touch
As long as I can feel you close to me
I know I'm where I'm supposed to be
You're an old-fashioned girl
At home in the modern world
The night's just right for love.

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm not
Maybe this moment is all we have got.

I don't think that I'm afraid to die
Still in all I'd rather live forever
See a million full moons risin' in the sky
Mornin' sunlight shinin' in your eyes
You're an old-fashioned girl
At home in the modern world
The night's just right for love.

The night's just right for love...


8.You're Stronger Than Me

Lyrics:Hank Cochran/Jimmy Key
Music:Hank Cochran/Jimmy Key

If you are sincere when you say you don't care
That we should just let the past be,
If the love that we knew don't bother you,
Darlin', you're stronger than me.

Chorus:
And if still lovin' you means I'm weak, then I'm weak,
And I still fall apart when you speak or we meet.
If the love that we knew don't bother you,
Darlin', you're stronger than me.


If you can have fun with some other one
With no thought of what used to be,
If it's easy to say that it's better this way,
Darlin', you're stronger than me.

Chorus:
And if still lovin' you means I'm weak, then I'm weak,
And I still fall apart when you speak or we meet.
If the love that we knew don't bother you,
Darlin', you're stronger than me.

Darlin', you're stronger than me...


9.Which Side Of The Glass

Written:Fred J.Knobloch/Dana Hunt

In a second story window framed in lace
There she is again sittin' staring into space
Thinkin' back to better days, dealin' with the pain
Some folks think it's teardrops, but me, I think it's rain.

There it is the cold hard truth
So plain to see the living proof
Where do you stand? What's your point of view?
I guess it all depends on which side of the glass you're looking
through.

Beneath a neon chandelier he leans on polished oak
And orders one more whiskey, lights another smoke
He shivers at the memory and trembles as he stirs
Some folks think it's him, but me, I think it's her.

There it is the cold hard truth
So plain to see the living proof
Where do you stand? what's your point of view?
I guess it all depends on which side of the glass you're looking
through.

I turn towards the mirror
It's time to face the facts
Looking for the reason
You're not ever coming back.

And there it is the cold hard truth
So plain to see the living proof
Where do you stand? What's your point of view?
I guess it all depends on which side of the glass you're looking
through.

Oh, I guess it all depends on which side of the glass you're
looking through...


10.She Took The Wind From His Sails

Lyrics:Dean Dillon/Donny Kees
Music:Dean Dillon/Donny Kees

Outer banks of North Carolina
Lies a sleepy harbor town
Generations of old sailors
Dropped their sails and settled down
Sam he is a young seafarer
Grandson fo a schooner man
Catherine is a sailmaker's daughter
Today he's gonna take her hand.

(Calm waters)
(Wish them well)
His ship's come in
She's put the wind in his sails.

Catherine is a canvas painter
Paints the sun and sand and sea
Lately she's been painting a portrait
Sammy is a dad to be.

(Calm waters)
(Wish them well)
His ship's come in
She's put the wind in his sails.


January brought the fever
Sam was right there by her side
Doctor told him son I'm sorry
Catherine needs your prayers tonight.

Morning light brought Sam a daughter
Fever took his better half
Sam gave Catherine to the water
As he held their baby to his chest.

(Calm waters)
(Wished him well)
His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails.

His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails...
