1.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


2.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!


3.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


4.High School Heart

(jerry laseter/kerry kurt phippips)

That ol' drive-in is a parking lot
They made a shopping mall out of our make-out spot
The oldies station plays all those songs
We used to sing
And even though that ol' high school's gone
It started somethin' that's still goin' strong
I swear sometimes i can hear that ol' bell sing

'cause you still slide in close to me
Just like you did in my ol' grand prix
You still get a little jealous
If i speak to jenny barnes
That yearbook smile still drives me mad
With all that's changed, i'm so glad
You're still lovin' me
With that some ol' high school heart

I'd take off runnin' to mrs. walker's class
Lipstick on my cheek and a note in my hand
I'm still runnin' late 'cause i still can't pull away
From your lovin' arms
Every time we touch, you make it feel brand new
I guess that's why i'm still fallin' for you
You're still lovin' me
With that same ol' high school heart

'cause you still slide in close to me
Just like you did in my ol' grand prix
You still get a little jealous
If i speak to jenny barnes
That yearbook smile still drives me mad
With all that's changed, i'm so glad
You're still lovin' me
With that some ol' high school heart
You're still lovin' me
With that some ol' high school heart


5.Just Like A Rodeo

(roger brown/tommy conners)

Boots in the stirrups out of the gate trying to hold the reins
Praying that i can just sit tight, man this love is strange
Up like a rocket spinning 'round like a top
My strength is fading fast
I should have known when i climbed on
My next breath could be my last

Somedays i'm in the saddle
Somedays i get thrown
Somedays i hold on for dear life
This love is sure 'nough just like a rodeo

Eight short seconds lasts a long long time
My life flashed before my eyes
Ain't never been bucked like this before
But i got to thank you for the ride

Somedays i'm in the saddle
Somedays i get thrown
Somedays i hold on for dear life
This love is sure 'nough just like a rodeo

Somedays i'm in the saddle
Somedays i get thrown
Somedays i hold on for dear life
This love is sure 'nough

Somedays i'm in the saddle
Somedays i get thrown
Somedays i hold on for dear life
This love is sure 'nough just like a rodeo

Just like a rodeo


6.Holdin' On To Something

(tom shapiro/thom mchugh)

There's a little girl
Wanna make her mine
What she wants i don't know
If red means stop
An' green means go
Her light is always yellow
I'm wrapped around her finger
She's slipping through my hands
Every time i think i got her
I gotta think again...i'm

Holdin' on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time i drop
But i keep reaching 'cause i can't stop
Holdin' on to something that keeps letting me go

She calls me on the phone
Says she's all alone
Felling kinda lonely
Says she can't wait
So don't be late
I promise her i won't be
Ten minutes later i'm standing at her door
She's saying, 'never mind, i ain't lonely anymore'...i'm

Holdin' on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time i drop
But i keep reaching 'cause i can't stop
Holdin' on to something that keeps letting me go

I fall a little harder every time i drop
But i keep reaching 'cause i can't stop
Holdin' on to something that keeps letting me go

Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
Holdin' on to something
That keeps letting me go


7.Long As I Live

(rick bowles/will robinson)

The world's been spinning 'round since time began
An' when it stops, it's out of my hands
So i could swear forever for all it's worth
Or give you every day i have on earth

Long as i live
Long as i breathe
With every heartbeat
I'll need you near me
I won't leave you behind
'til the lord says it's time to go with him
I'm yours long as i live

No matter if there's mountains you can't move
Or harder times then you thought you'd go through
And the weight of your world's too much to bear
Just remember i'll always be there

Long as i live
Long as i breathe
With every heartbeat
I'll need you near me
I won't leave you behind
'til the lord says it's time to go with him
I'm yours long as i live

The moon and stars aren't mine to give
Neither is eternity
But i'll give you a promise tonight
That i can keep

Long as i live
Long as i breathe
With every heartbeat
I'll need you near me
I won't leave you behind
'til the lord says it's time to go with him
I'm yours long as i live
I'm yours long as i live


8.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


9.Heaven Sent Me You

(john e. mccollum/len doolin)

I've never seen blue eyes filled with so much love
I never thought i'd find out what i found in your touch
Someone up there must like me 'cause i'm
Lookin' at the proof there's no doubt about it
Heaven sent me you

Heaven sent me you to make my life complete
An angel from above to watch over me
What makes it even better
Is you feel the same way too
There's no doubt about it heaven sent me you

Every moment that we share will live forever in my mind
Every memory that we make
Are sure to outlast time
I know when i hold you close i'm holdin'
Love that's true
There's no doubt about it
Heaven sent me you

Heaven sent me you to make my life complete
An angel from above to watch over me
What makes it even better
Is you feel the same way too
There's no doubt about it heaven sent me you
There's no doubt about it heaven sent me you


10.It's What I Am

(john calvert/aaron sain)

I got my first guitar when i was just a boy
I was playing the blues instead of playing with toys
Listening to the opry and dreaming of the neon lights
So it was late to bed and early to rise
I worked the field all day and the crowd all night
My finger on the trigger and nashville in my sights
I'm the real thing and i sing songs about real life

And i never heard a fiddle called a violin
Never really worried if i fit in
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am
This hat ain't something i wear for style
These boots have been around a while
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am

I learned to drive on a dirt road
Cruised the strip on rock and roll
And drove around on 'miles and miles of texas'
And as i grew daddy showed me now
To earn a living by the sweat of my brow
But he never made me follow in his steps
He said work hard and let the good lord do the rest

And i never heard a fiddle called a violin
Never really worried if i fit in
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am
This truck ain't something i drive for style
These boots have been around a while
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am

And i never heard a fiddle called a violin
Never really worried if i fit in
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am
This hat ain't something i wear for style
These boots have been around a while
Country ain't what i sing it's what i am
