1.Beer And Bones
(sanger d. shafer／lonnie williams)
I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since i lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
I got to work this morning
Early this afternoon
Yeah my boss man nudged me
Said son i need to talk to you
You used to make me money
But lately i been taking a loss
Well he smelled my breath
Gave me what was left
Of the day off
I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since i lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Well i wish i could go home
And rest my weary head
But i know i'll just stay here
And have another beer instead
That little waitress asked me
Honey could you use some help
I said i thank you miss
I'll have to get through this
By my dang self
I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since i lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
2.Be My Baby Tonight
(ed hill／rich fagan)
I know you've heard that worn out line
About love at first sight

To knock me off my feet

3.Cowboy Love
(bill douglas／jeff wood)
You drive a baby blue beamer
I drive a pickup truck
I'm a member of the good ol' boys
You're a member of the country club
You keep turnin' me down when i ask you out
But i ain't givin' up
I'm gonna show you darlin' a little cowboy love
Let me broaden your horizons
Teach you 'bout the finer things in life
Like some late night horseback ridin'
Sippin' on some southern homemade wine
If a little two steppin', star gazin', breathtakin', lovemakin'
Is what your dreamin' of
Then let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love
You need a little adventure
To ignite your world
I can picture you in cowboy boots
I can picture you a country girl
Once you give me a try then you'll know why
You can't get enough
So let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love
Let me broaden your horizons
Teach you 'bout the finer things in life
Like some late night horseback ridin'
Sippin' on some southern homemade wine
If a little two steppin', star gazin', breathtakin', lovemakin'
Is what your dreamin' of
Then let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love
Underneath the midnight moonlight
Cuddled up real tight
Cozied down by a fire
Listenin' to some george strait, george jones
Country love songs you'll change your mind
Well let me broaden your horizons
Teach you 'bout the finer things in life
Like some late night horseback ridin'
Sippin' on some southern homemade wine
If a little two steppin', star gazin', breathtakin', lovemakin'
Is what your dreamin' of
Then let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love
Let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love
4.Friends
(jerry holland)
You say you want to be friends
That's a newly sharpened blade
That's a dagger to the heart
Of the promises we made
That's a chapter full of pain
A season full of rain
A dark and stormy night
Spent all alone
Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
But you wanna be
Just friends
You say you love me very much
And you'll always hold me dear
Those are the sweetest words
I never want to hear
What's a love without desire
A flame without a fire
Can't warm me late at night
When i need you most
Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
But you wanna be
Just friends
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
Darling can't you see
This is killing me
We could never be
Just friends
5.If You've Got Love
(steve seskin／mark d. sanders)
If you've got faith
And you believe in what you're living for
You can stand your ground when the devil's at your door
And a little hope can help you when the road is getting rough
But there's nothing quite like life if you've got love
If you've got love you can move a mountain
A little bit further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art
It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart
Now there's nothing like a real good friend
To tell your troubles to
But there's just so much a real good friend can do
'cause it takes another's touch to chase the darkest blues away
If you've got love you've got what it takes
If you've got love you can move a mountain
A little bit further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art
It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart
If you've got love you can move a mountain
A little bit further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art
It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart
It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart
(if you've got love) you can move a mountain
Further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn a picture into a priceless work of art...
6.I Can Love You Like That
(steve diamond／maribeth derry／jennifer kimball)
They read you cinderella
You hoped it would come true
That one day your prince charming
Would come rescue you
You like romantic movies
You never will forget
The way you felt when romeo kissed juliet
All this time that you've been waiting
You don't have to wait no more
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that
I never make a promise i don't intend to keep
So when i say forever, forever's what i mean
I'm no casanova but i swear this much is true
I'll be holdin' nothin' back when it comes to you
You dream of love that's everlasting
Well baby open up your eyes
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
If you give me a chance
I can love you like that
You want tenderness-i got tenderness
And i see through to the heart of you
If you want a man who understands
You don't have to look very far
I can love you
I can
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I will give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything that's precious to me
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
7.I Love The Way You Love Me
(victoria shaw／chuck cannon)
I like the feel of your name on my lips
And i like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when your not there
And i like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two hour bath
And how you convinced me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane
But i love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me
I like to imitate old jerry lee
And watch you roll your eyes when i'm slightly off key
And i like the innocent way that you cry
At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times
But i love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me
And i could list a million things
I love to like about you
But they all come down to one reason
I could never live without you
I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me
Oh baby i love the way you love me
8.I Miss You A Little
(mike anthony／richard fagan／john michael montgomery)
Sometimes a song can touch a nerve
That takes me back to you
When i pick up my old guitar
And i play your favorite tune
Every now and then, some little thing
I've buried comes bubblin' up
And once in a while, you feel close enough to touch
I miss you a little since you've been gone
A few little memories keep hangin' on
I miss you a little, i guess you could say
A little too much, a little too often
A little more every day
When i go by our old house
I pretend that you're still there
Waitin' for me on the porch
But there's just an empty chair
Wish i could see you just one more time
Before i drive away
So i could stop and go inside, and say
I miss you a little since you've been gone
A few little memories keep hangin' on
I miss you a little, i guess you could say
A little too much, a little too often
A little more every day
A little too much, a little too often
A little more every day
9.I Swear
(frank j. myers／gary baker)
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure i know my part
'cause i'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though i'll make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I'll give you everything i can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if i still care
'cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all
I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I swear
10.Life's A Dance
(allen shamblin／steve seskin)
When i was fourteen i was falling fast
For a blue eyed girl in my homeroom class
Trying to find the courage to ask her out
Was like trying to get oil from a waterspout
What she would have said i can't say
I never did ask and she moved away
But i learned something from my blue eyed girl
Sink or swim you gotta give it a whirl
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go
The longer i live the more i believe
You do have to give if you wanna recieve
There's a time to listen, a time to talk
And you might have to crawl even after you walk
Had sure things blow up in my face
Seen the longshot, win the race
Been knocked down by the slamming door
Picked myself up and came back for more
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Life's a dance
Life's a dance
Life's a dance
Take a chance on love
Life's a dance
You learn as you go
11.No Man's Land
(john scott sherrill／steve seskin)
That house on the hill is long gone
Now she's living in a trailer with an astroturf lawn
Got three little kids and no one to help
Trying to be momma and daddy all by herself
It's hard to hold down the fort when you're holdin' down a job
She'd rob peter to pay paul but he's already been robbed
She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines
She'd break down and cry but she doesn't have time
She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man's land
Every now and then late at night
She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight
And there's a guy down at work he keeps callin' her up
But she ain't ready for none of that stuff
She's still sifting through the ashes of a love that's been and
gone
Looking for a clue, trying to find out what went wrong
It ain't always easy, but she knows she's gotta try
Every time she looks into her babies' eyes
She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man's land
She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man's land
No man's land
12.Rope The Moon
(jess brown／jim denton)
I don't have a lot to show
For these years of hard work
If you look at what i own
Still she's always telling me
To hold on to my dreams
Even when my hope is gone
Some may say that dreaming's just for fools
And there are times i thought that might be true
But she thinks i could rope the moon
In her eyes there is nothing i can't do
When i think it's out of reach
She's the reason i still try
She thinks i could rope the moon
When i look at the sky
But can't see through the clouds
She shows me the brightest stars
If i think of coming back
'cause i'm having my doubts
She tells me i've come so far
Nothing in this world comes easily
But i can't lose with her right next to me
'cause she thinks i could rope the moon
In her eyes there is nothing i can't do
When i think it's out of reach
She's the reason i still try
She thinks i could rope the moon
Oh she thinks i could rope the moon
13.Sold(The Grundy County Auction Indident)
(richard fagan／robb royer)
Well i went down to the grundy county auction
Where i saw something i just had to have
My mind told me i should proceed with caution
But my heart said, 'go ahead an' make a bid on that!'
An' i said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call
Yeah, i never seen anyone lookin' so fine
Man, i gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind
I'm goin' once, goin' twice,
I'm sold! on the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, i know
She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
An' i'm about to bid my heart good-bye!
Well, the auctioneer was goin' about a mile a minute
He was takin' bids an' callin' them out loud
An' i guess i was really gettin' in it
'cause i just shouted out above the crowd!
An' i said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call
Yeah, i never seen anyone lookin' so fine
Man, i gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind
I'm goin' once, goin' twice,
I'm sold! on the lady in the long black dress
Well she won my heart it was no contest
With her ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes
Well i'm about to bid my heart good-bye!
Yeah, we found love on the auction block
An' i hauled her heart away
Now we still love to laugh about
The way we met that day
When i said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine
I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call
Yeah, i never seen anyone lookin' so fine
Man, i gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind
I'm goin' once, goin' twice,
I'm sold! on the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, i know
Shes's got ruby red lips, blond hair blue eyes
An' i'm about to bid my heart good-bye!
