1.Loud And Proud

(porter howell/sam gay)
(track 1 - time 3:30)

Show me a mountain
Tell me it can't be climbed
I'll find my way through any shadow of doubt
And i'll meet you on the other side

I love a good challenge
Send them all my way
I'll rise to any occasion
I am not afraid

To be loud and proud
And givin' in to nothin'
Livin' and a lovin'
I'll never get enough
And all the ups and downs
I take 'em as they come
And i'll be right here standing my ground
Loud and proud

Now i'm not sayin'
That it ain't no way to be
But livin' inside the lines
Never did nothin' for me

Life is good
Cranked up to ten
Show me a place where the whole world stops
And i'll see it as a place to begin

'cause i'm loud and proud
And givin' in to nothin'
Livin' and a lovin'
I'll never get enough
And all the ups and downs
I take 'em as they come
And i'll be right here standing my ground
Loud and proud

I see no reason to hide under covers
Shy away from love
Because you might get burned

You never know what you might be missin'
Life is a mission
Far as i'm concerned

So live it loud and proud
Givin' in to nothin'
Livin' and a lovin'
I'll never get enough
And all the ups and downs
I take 'em as they come
And i'll be right here standing my ground
Yeah i'll be right here standing my ground
Loud and proud

Loud and proud
Yeah i'm loud and proud
Oh yeah
Loud and proud


2.Bad For Us

(porter howell/dwayne o'brien/tom shapiro)
(track 2 - time 3:15)

You really got a good one in
You hit me where it hurts
Just so you wouldn't get the best of me
I fired back somethin' worse

I put you down
You show me up

Good for you
Good for me
Bad for us

We keep goin' around and 'round
When's it gonna stop
Real love's not a matter of
Who comes out on top

I won't back down
You won't give up

Good for you
Good for me
Bad for us

It's a game of who's to blame
And we're keepin' score
One of us wins the battle
We both lose the war

Still we won't say
Enough's enough

Good for you
Good for me
Bad for us

To proud to say
Enough's enough

Good for you
Good for me
Bad for us

Good for you
Good for me
Bad for us


3.Ain't No Time To Be Afraid

(porter howell/allen shamblin)
(track 3 - time 4:00)

I was scared half to death
I couldn't catch my breath
'cause that old tree down by the river
Was thirty feet high
That's when i heard my daddy's voice
He said son you've got a choice
You can climb down now
Or you can fly

This ain't no time to be afraid
Or look the other way
If your prayers have all been prayed
Then you just let it come what may
If you're not brave enough to try
Then life will pass you by
All we have is today
There ain't no time to be afraid

At the altar my best man
Said since i am your friend
It's my job to inform you
It's not to late run
She was comin' down the aisle
All i could do was smile
I whispered no my friend
I'm sure i found the one

This ain't no time to be afraid
Or look the other way
If your prayers have all been prayed
Then you just let it come what may
If you're not brave enough to try
Love will pass you by
All we have is today
There ain't no time to be afraid

Keep your faith when you're out there all alone
When you're faced with your fears just walk on

I was scared half to death
'till he took his first breath
He was kickin' and a screamin'
Lord i loved that sound
With a house way too small
A stack of bills too tall
I thought only one thing really matters now

This ain't no time to be afraid
Or look the other way
If your prayers have all been prayed
Then you just let it come what may
If you're not brave enough to try
Life will pass you by
From the cradle to the grave
There ain't no time to be afraid

All we have is today
There ain't no time to be afraid


4.Long Way Down

(porter howell/dwayne o'brien/bob dipiero)
(track 4 - time 2:55)

You roll out your red carpet
Say welcome to my love
Lately i've been wonderin'
If you're gonna roll it back up

With every hungry kiss
From your sweet lips
Baby you lift my feet off the ground
You got me rockin' in a cradle of love
And i don't want to fall out now
'cause it's a long way down

Up here on the wire
The further out i get
The more you keep remindin' me
I'm workin' without a net

With every hungry kiss
From your sweet lips
Baby you lift my feet off the ground
You got me rockin' in a cradle of love
And i don't want to fall out now
'cause it's a long way down

Oh yeah

Sampson had delilah
Well adam he had eve
Darlin' please please tell me
What you got up your sleeve

With every hungry kiss
From your sweet lips
Baby you lift my feet off the ground
You got me rockin' in a cradle of love
And i don't want to fall out now

With every hungry kiss
From your sweet lips
Baby you lift my feet off the ground
You got me rockin' in a cradle of love
And i don't want to fall out now
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
It's a long way down


5.Your Mama Won't Let Me

(del gray/keith follese/thom mchugh)
(track 5 - time 3:00)

Like to take you to the movies on a saturday night
But your mama won't let me
Steal you away for a sunday drive
But your mama won't let me

She's one step ahead of me every time
When i get too close she draws that line
Thinks i'm trouble but i'm not that kind
Your mama won't let me make you mine

I wanna tear you away from those apron strings
But your mama won't let me
Buy you dinner and a diamond ring
But your mama won't let me

She's one step ahead of me every time
When i get too close she draws that line
Thinks i'm trouble but i'm not that kind
Your mama won't let me make you mine

I got nothin' but good intentions
Somehow i got to change her mind
Find a way to break down her defenses
Gotta have you or i'm gonna die tryin'

I'd like to talk to your daddy about man-to-man
But your mama won't let me
If anybody could i know he'd understand
But your mama won't let me

She's one step ahead of me every time
When i get too close she draws that line
Thinks i'm trouble but i'm not that kind
Your mama won't let me make you mine
You know your mama won't let me make you mine


6.All In The Line Of Love

(porter howell/dwayne o'brien/stephen allen davis)
(track 6 - time )

Heaven knows life's got its twists and turns
Walls to climb over and bridges that burn
But if you were lost on the other side
I'd walk straight through the fire
All in the line of love

If your darkest fears from your wildest dreams
Ever come for you they'll have to go through me
To keep you safe from the world outside
I would stand and fight
All in the line of love

Right from the start
When i gave you my heart
I made a promise i'll keep for all time
Girl i do what i do
Only for you
I'd even lay down my life
And never ask why
'cause it's all in the line of love

I'd give up my dreams watch 'em all fade
Take what i had and give it all away
For one more day with you by my side
I'd trade my hopes and desires
All in the line of love

Right from the start
When i gave you my heart
I made a promise i'll keep for all time
Girl i do what i do
Only for you
I'd even lay down my life
And never ask why
'cause it's all in the line of love

Girl i do what i do
Only for you
I'd even lay down my life
And never ask why
'cause it's all in the line of love


7.Living In A Bullseye

(walt aldridge/bob dipiero)
(track 7 - time 3:10)

One two three four

I heard the whistle blowin' as i pulled in the gate
I knew without lookin' i was already late
Prayin' the boss wouldn't catch me again
Sweatin' bullets while i was sneakin' in

I'm livin in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
Livin' in a bullseye

Eight hours later at a half past five
I'm listenin' to my radio and pullin' in the drive
The music tellin' me a thing that's good
So i'm crossin' all my fingers and i'm knockin on wood

'cause i'm livin in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
You know i'm livin' in a bullseye

I know the minute that i get home
I finally made it through the danger zone
The part of my day that i love the best
When her lovin' wraps around me like a bullet-proof vest

'cause i'm livin in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
Livin' in a bullseye ground zero
It's kinda scary when the arrows fly
I ain't tryin' to be no superhero
I duck and cover just to stay alive
Livin' in a bullseye


8.The Call

(tim rushlow/walt aldridge)
(track 8 - time 4:23)

I know you're hurtin'
Feelin' uncertain
'cause love's never happened
Like you hoped it would

So scared of trying
It's just the fear of flyin'
You say you're through with takin' chances
For good

You can run but you can't hide
You can keep it all inside
Take it from a fool who's tried it all
Pay attention to a friend
Who swore he'd never fall again
You're gonna answer
When you get the call

When love finds you
Sneaks up behind you
With eyes that see through
All of your charades

You can't deny it
So don't even try it
Love's gonna change you
No matter what you say

You can run but you can't hide
You can keep it all inside
Take it from a fool who's tried it all
Pay attention to a friend
Who swore he'd never fall again
You're gonna answer
When you get the call

You never know for sure
Where that love might be
Halfway around the world
Or in the heart of a friend like me

You can run but you can't hide
You can keep it all inside
Take it from a fool who's tried it all
Pay attention to a friend
Who swore he'd never fall again
You're gonna answer
When you get the call

Oh you're gonna answer
When you get the call

You're gonna answer
When you get the call


9.Yesterday's Gone Forever

(dwayne o'brien/jim rushing)
(track 9 - time 3:22)

For all of my good intentions
Heartfelt every one
I've left so much love unspoken
So much of life i've left undone

I could've made a difference
I just never made the time
Now yesterday's gone forever
And today ain't far behind

Should've taken that job in dallas
Or the one in san antone
Should've left that girl in the city
And married the one back home

I'd love to run back through the years
To tell her i was blind
But yesterday's gone forever
And today ain't far behind

Let go
Got to let it go
Wishing wouldn't change it anyhow
I know
I got to let 'em know
All i can ever hope to change is here and now

So when i wake up tomorrow mornin'
Gonna finally make the time
Tell some people how much i love them
And that i've made up my mind

To make the most of every moment
Really live while i'm alive
'cause yesterday's gone forever
And today ain't far behind

Yesterday's gone forever
And today ain't far behind


10.If I Don't Get Enough Of You

(porter howell/chuck jones)
(track 10 - time 3:07)

If i don't get enough of you
I can't think i can't sleep
If i don't get enough of you
I can't eat i get weak
Without you there to hold me tight
I can't make it through the night
I don't know what i'm gonna do
If i don't get enough of you

If i don't get enough of you
I don't act like i should
If i don't get enough of you
It's a fact i'm no good
I'm bringin' everybody down
I ain't no fun to be around
I don't like the man i turn into
If i don't get enough of you

You've done somethin' to me
It just took one touch
Your love goes right through me
And i can't get too much

If i don't get enough of you
Get my time get my share
If i don't get enough of you
Seems like life just ain't fair
Why should i have to do without
You're all i ever think about
Nothin' else is gonna do
If i don't get enough of you

You've done somethin' to me
It just took one touch
Your love goes right through me
And i can't get too much

If i don't get enough of you
I can't think i can't sleep
If i don't get enough of you
I can't eat i get weak
Without you there to hold me tight
I can't make it through the night
I don't know what i'm gonna do
If i don't get enough of you

You know i don't know what i'm gonna do
If i enough of
