1.Measure Of A Man
(larry boone／rick bowles)
I may never buy me a big house
A cadillac, cruising with the top down
That ain't the way i am
I judge a man by the gold on the inside
I'm not fooled by the glitter on the outside
That ain't the measure of a man
It ain't how far you go
It ain't how much you make
Son, it's what you give
Not what you take
It's being strong and true
To those counting on you
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's the measure of a man
I give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay
I'll stand behind every word i say
I'll seal a deal with a shake of a hand
If i'm a few rungs short of the top of the ladder
When i meet my maker what will it matter
That ain't the measure of a man
It ain't how far you go
It ain't how much you make
Son, it's what you give
Not what you take
It's being strong and true
To those counting on you
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's the measure of a man
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's the measure of a man
That's the measure of a man
2.Nobody Knows
(joesph richards／don dubose)
I pretend that i'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more every day
And i'm dying inside and nobody knows it
But me
Like a clown i put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And i'm crying inside and nobody knows it
But me
Why didn't i say the things i needed to say
How could i let my angel get away
Now my world is tumblin' down
I can see it so clearly but you're nowhere around
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And i just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And i'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
How blue can i get, you could ask my heart
Just like a jugsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how i feel
A million years from now, you know, i'll be loving you still
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And i just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
And i'm missing you and nobody knows it but me
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
And i just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
Nobody knows it but me
3.If You Love Somebody
(chris farren／jeffery steele)
Mount everest, i'll climb it
No problem, just say when
Mississippi, i'll swim it
Down to the delta and back again
If you love somebody
It ain't that hard
If you love somebody
To go that far
Well, there ain't no limit to the things you do
If you love somebody
The way that i do you
Get a ladder, a cheap guitar
And serenade you under the stars
Scream and shout, make a scene
Tell the world that your the girl of my dreams
If you love somebody
That's what you do
If you love somebody
And your love is true
You don't think twice about being a fool
If you love somebody
The way that i do you
Send me down the river with my soul on fire
The thought of you makes the weight of this
World seem a little bit lighter
If you love somebody, if you love somebody
Ooh, send me down the river with my soul on fire
The thought of you makes the weight of this
World seem a little bit lighter
Taking me higher, higher
If you love somebody
You do anything
If you love somebody
You jump up and sing
Well, there ain't no limit to the things you do
If you love somebody
The way that i do you
If you love somebody
That's what you do
If you love somebody
And your love is true
Well, there ain't no limit to the things you do
If you love somebody
The way that i do you
The way that i do you, girl
4.There's Only You
(skip ewing／donny kees)
In every life they say
One perfect love comes your way
I know for my heart that's true
There's only you
When sorrow brings me pain
If teardrops fall like rain
Who else can i turn to
There's only you
Every night i thank the lord above
For giving you to me
All my life i'll give you all my love
True and faithfully
So darlin' say you'll stay
Don't take your love away
I'll never find someone new
There's only you
5.She's Sure Taking It Well
(tim buppert／don pfrimmer／george teren)
We decided to try
Going our own ways for while
And give each other some space
But i never dreamed it would be miles
I thought she would cry
While she was packing up
I guess something isn't wrong enough
She's sure taking it well
Taking my heart and my soul
You'd think i wasn't here
Falling apart watching her go
If she knows it's killing me
You couldn't look at her and tell
My heart's breaking and
She's sure taking it well
There go all of my dreams
Melting like sugar in the rain
I would love to believe
She's only smiling through the pain
All the tears are mine
Shouldn't she be sad
After losing everything we had
She's sure taking it well
Taking my heart and my soul
You'd think i wasn't here
Falling apart watching her go
If she knows it's killing me
You couldn't look at her and tell
My heart's breaking and
She's sure taking it well
She's sure taking it well
She's sure taking it well
She's sure taking it well
6.The Strength To Love
(chris farren／jeffrey steele／john hobbs)
I'm all right, i'm okay
And i'll live to fight for another day
'cause i've got hope and that's enough
Until i find the strength to love
Like a weary fighter knocked off his feet
I couldn't even feel my own heart beat
But i've got faith to lift me up
Until i find the strength to love
I know down deep there's a spark
Inside this broken heart of mine
I'll be as strong as before
It's just a matter of time
What's done is done
And i'll rise above
And i will find
The strength to love
I know down deep there's a spark
Inside this broken heart of mine
I'll be as strong as before
It's just a matter of time
I'm all right, i'm okay
And i'll live to fight for another day
'cause i've got hope and that's enough
Until i find the strength to love
Until i find the strength to love
7.Love Bomb
(robert ellis orrall／angelo)
Met her on monday down at the blue star
Where we all hang out
I picked her up at work tuesday afternoon
That night we were rocking the town
Wednesday, thursday, time sure flies
When you're having a ball
A perfect match, no strings attached
By friday we'd done it all
Saturday night under the stars
Huggin' and a-kissin' in the back of her car
I said, 'ain't this the life, what could go wrong？'
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb
Those three little words
Set off a chain reaction like i'd never seen
I was shakin' in my boots
When she lit the fuse i was blown to smithereens
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, it hit me like a ton of bricks
She'd got a mind to cross that line
I shoulda known it would come to this
Saturday night under the stars
Huggin' and a-kissin' in the back of her car
I said, 'ain't this the life, what could go wrong？'
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb
I was keeping it loose, taking it slow
Playing it cool, but wouldn't you know
Saturday night under the stars
Huggin' and a-kissin' in the back of her car
I said, 'ain't this the life, what could go wrong？'
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb
When all of a sudden she dropped the love bomb
8.I'm Already Loving You Too Much
(chris farren／jeffrey steele／larry park)
When it comes to love i've had my doubts
But when you walked in my heart checked out
And like a schoolboy crush
I knew it when we touched
I'm already loving you too much
Mind and body, heart and soul
You came in and took control
And, oh what a rush
This is powerfull stuff
I'm already loving you too much
Too much, i'm already falling too fast
Too much, it's too late for me to turn back
I can't stop this love that we've started
Too much, i'm already falling too fast
Too much, it's too late for me to turn back
I can't stop this love that we've started
Who knows where i'll go from here
I'm too far gone to see it clear
So my heart i'll have to trust
And hope that it's enough
'cause i'm already loving you
There's nothing left for me to do
I'm already loving you too much
Already loving you too much
9.Population 4000 Minus 1
(chris farren／kevin sharp)
I'm proud of my history, proud of my home
But there comes a time in a young boy's life
When he feels he's got to roam
Daddy says i'm crazy, mama thinks i'm naive
But if i don't do it now then i'll never leave
cause i've driven every back road in this part of the state
Ain't a girl in my graduation class that i didn't date
Tried everything on the menu down at fiddler's bar ＆ grill
I got a taste for something this town will never fill
There's a great big world out there for me to see
I might sail a boat to china, chase dreams in tennessee
Right now the motor's running, just a few things i gotta do
Tell my friends goodbye
Drive these streets for one last time
Change that city limit sign
To 'population 4000 minus 1'
Gonna see the bright lights, gonna make my mark
So many things i've got to do i don't know where to starts
Play cards in vegas, walk the beach at malibu
Learn a few things that i never knew
There's a great big world out there for me to see
Might play for the '49ers, mardi gras in new orleans
Right now the motor's running, just a few things i gotta do
Tell my friends goodbye
Drive these streets for one last time
Change that city limit sign
To 'population 4000 minus 1'
Now i'm stuck in new york city, staring at these walls
Thinking how the grass out here ain't that green at all
Ain't that green at all
There's a great big world out there for me to see
I might wed a farmers daughter and raise a family
Right now the clock is ticking, just a few things i gotta do
Tell my friends goodbye
Ride that subway one last time
Change that city limit sign
To 'population 12 million minus 1'
To 'population 12 million minus 1'
Coming home, coming home
10.Somebody's Baby
(zack turner／lonnie wilson)
It's five o'clock
At the sad cafe
Dinner for one, a table for two
Another lonely day
She tries to hide the pain
But her strong will is just a weak disguise
It's there in her eyes
She wants to be somebody's baby
She wants to be somebody's friend
She just needs a choulder to lean on now and then
She's no stranger to danger
She's had her heart broke a time or two
She wants to be somebody's baby
But she's nobody's fool
Someone long ago
Promised her the moon
But the fairy tale didn't go so well
It ended way too soon
And the scars of love
Have been known to take some time to heal
Can't you see how she feels
She wants to be somebody's baby
She wants to be somebody's friend
She just needs a choulder to lean on now and then
She's no stranger to danger
She's had her heart broke a time or two
She wants to be somebody's baby
But she's nobody's fool
She's no stranger to danger
She's had her heart broke a time or two
She wants to be somebody's baby
But she's nobody's fool
11.Love At The End Of The Road
(sam tate／annie tate)
The farm was still standing at the end of the road
And the mailbox still carried our name
In spite of the dust and the weeds and the dust
The old place looked almost the same
The screen door was slamming real slow in the wind
Like it did out this time each november
Like someone applauding the end of a dream
That no one could seem to remember
When she came around from the side of the house
She looked likde the day we first met
And before i could speak she was there in my arms
Sayin？something i l never forget
She said, i knew you come back
My heart told me so
Men like you search every corner on earth
When there love here at the end of the road
It was hard to believe he was 71
The way that he still got around
His station was still full service, by gosh
And he fixed every car in this town
I stood in the door and saw nothin？had changed
That stubborn old son-of-a-gun
Not the clock on the wall not the soda machine
Or the sign that said, 'miller ＆ son'
He said, i knew you come back
My heart told me so
Men like you search every corner on earth
When there love here at the end of the road
The roof needed mending and the walls needed paint
But the stained glass still gave them a glow
I couldn bear one more unanswered prayer
So i turned and i started to go
Then i heard a voice from the back of the room
That would make any sinner believe
And the words that he spoke they went right to my soul
And brought me right down to my knees
She said, i knew you come back
My heart told me so
Men like you search every corner on earth
When there love here at the end of the road
