1.Tequila Talkin'

Written:Bill Labounty/Chris Waters

I called about that conversation that I had with you last night
It must have been a combination of shooters and neon lights
And I didn't really mean to say I've been losing it since you
left
Yeah I may have said the words, but they came from somewhere
else

It was just the tequila talkin'
When I told you I'm still not over you
I get a little sentimental when I've had one or two
And that tear in my eye was the salt and the lime
Not the memory of you walkin'
If I said I'm still in love with you
It was just the tequila talkin'

I don't know what they put in Cuervo that got me to say those
things
Usually I wouldn't care so much or make such a scene
But seeing you there in that dress you were wearing just drove
me right out of my head
So don't hold me responsible for anything I might've said

It was just the tequila talkin'
When I told you I'm still not over you
I get a little sentimental when I've had one or two
And that tear in my eye was the salt and the lime
Not the memory of you walkin'
If I said I'm still in love with you
It was just the tequila talkin'
If I said I'm still in love with you
It was just the tequila talkin'


2.No News

Written:Sam Hogin/Phil Barnhart/Mark D.Sanders

She said 'It's just a woman thing' and pulled out of the drive
I said not to worry I'm an understanding guy
I've heard that when you love someone you gotta let 'em go
She hollered 'When I find myself you'll be the first to know'
Ooh no news

I learned to do the laundry, feed the cat, and clean the house
I promised to be patient while she worked her problems out
When she packed her bags, her destination wasn't clear
But I sensed that her intentions were honest and sincere
Ooh no news

She could telephone, tell a friend, tell a lie about where she's
been
Send a pigeon, send a fax, write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke, tap it out in Morse Code
I'd prefer a bad excuse to no news

Her mama's been a little vague as to her whereabouts
Her sister says 'I'm certain your romance is headed south'
I don't have a single doubt that she's still in love
My level of anxiety is just a product of
Ooh no news

She could telephone, tell a friend, tell a lie about where she's
been
Send a pigeon, send a fax, write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke, tap it out in Morse Code
I'd prefer a bad excuse

She missed her bus, missed her plane, surely this can be
explained
Lost her car at the mall, got locked in a bathroom stall
Joined the cult, joined the klan, on the road with Pearl Jam
Buried with The Grateful Dead, came back as a Parrot Head
Got derailed, got de-iced, offered as a sacrifice
FBI, CIA, if they've seen her they ain't saying
No news
Still no news


3.Runnin' Away With My Heart

Written:Michael Brit/Sam Hogin/Mark D.Sanders

Hey Buddy can you get me some faster wheels
I got a heartache nippin' at my heels
I'll be hurtin' if she gets a big head start
First that girl stole my attention
Not to mention all my affection
Now she's running away with my heart

I don't know where she's bound
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight
Even when I'm holdin' her tight
She's running away with my heart

No don't tell me 'bout the speed limit
I'll go a million miles a minute
Till I run the wheels right off of this car
I know exactly what I'd be losin'
That's why I'm doin' what I'm doin'
She's running away with my heart

I don't know where she's bound
But I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight
Even when I'm holdin' her tight
She's running away with my heart
She's running away with my heart


4.Come Cryin' To Me

Written:John Rich/Wally Wilson/Mark D.Sanders

I can see it in your eyes
You're livin' a troubled life
And you've been hurtin' more and
more these days
You don't have to hide it
Don't even have to fight it
Baby all you have to do is just turn
and walk away

When you're tired of it all
And tears need to fall
Your back's to the wall
Come cryin' to me
You don't have to be strong
You don't have to hold on
When you've been there too long
Come cryin' to me
I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me

You can get beyond this
All those empty promises
They don't have to hold you
down no more
Nothin' to explain to me
You don't even need a key
All you gotta do is knock and i'll
unlock the door

When you're tired of it all
And tears need to fall
Your back's to the wall
Come cryin' to me
You don't have to be strong
You don't have to hold on
When you've been there too long
Come cryin' to me
I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me

I'll leave the living room light
Burning all night
No don't even pack
Don't even look back
Baby come cryin' to me
Baby come cryin' to me
Baby come cryin' to me


5.Say When

Written:John Rich/Paul Nelson/Larry Boone

Your heart's been broken, you don't wanna open up to me
But can't you see
All that you're needing is someone to believe in you
And when you are no longer afraid
Darlin' I'll be just one word away

Say when, I'll be there by your side
For a day, for a year, for the rest of my life
I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when

Could be tomorrow, maybe a little farther Down the road
Your heart will know
My love is timeless and you're gonna find it's true
And no matter how long it takes
If it means holdin' you I can wait

Say when, I'll be there by your side
For a day, for a year, for the rest of my life
I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when

I know you're not ready
But someday your heart's gonna mend
I'll give you love without end
Say when


6.Everything's Changed

Written:Richie Mcdonald/Paul Nelson/Larry Boone

Funny you should show up after all of these years
Yeah things sure have changed around here
Seen a lot of strangers since they put that interstate through
No this ain't the same town that we once knew

They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart
The caf¨¦ is closed where our names were carved on that corner
booth
Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you

That westbound to Santa Fe don't stop here anymore
You were one of the last to get on board
That street that we grew up on you wouldn't recognize
Girl nothing's been the same since you said good-bye

They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart
The caf¨¦ is closed where our names were carved on that corner
booth
Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you

They put up a plant where we used to park
That ol' drive-in's a new Wal-Mart
The caf¨¦ is closed where our names were carved on that corner
booth
Everything's changed except for the way I feel about you

Yeah, everything's changed except for the way I feel about you


7.Amazed

Written:Marv Green/Aimee Mayo/Chris Lindsey

Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you


8.Smile

Written:Jon Randall/Keith Follese

I still remember the night we met
You said you loved my smile
But your love for me was like a summer breeze
Oh, it lasted for a while
I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go so

I'm gonna smile
'Cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

Kiss me once for the good times, baby
Kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help how you don't feel
And it doesn't matter why
Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
'Cause that's how I want you to remember me

I'm gonna smile
'Cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

I'm gonna smile
So you can find the courage
Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin'
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile


9.What About Now

Written:Anthony Smith/Aaron Barker/Ron Harbin

The sign in the window said for sale or trade
On the last remaining dinosaur Detroit made
Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal
For a four hundred horsepower jukebox on wheels

And that road rolls out like a welcome mat
I don't know where it goes but it beats where we're at
We always said someday somehow
We were gonna get away gonna blow this town

What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another
round
What about now

We've been puttin' this off baby long enough
Just give me the word, and we'll be kickin' up dust
We both know it's just a matter of time
'Til our hearts start racin' for that county line

What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another
round
What about now

We could hang around this town forever making plans
But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance

What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talkin' about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another
round
What about now
What about now


10.Tell Her

Lyrics:Craig Wiseman/Kwesi B.
Music:Craig Wiseman/Kwesi B.

So you say your love's about to end
You say you can't take no more
She's out the door
And your looking for a friend

Who am I to tell you why
But I'm just curious, were you furious
Or did you swallow your pride
And look her in the eye and

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her

Brother I've been right where you are now
And my heart was broke
'Cause I never spoke
Those healing words out loud

But I've learned my lesson well
And now every night
Before I close my eyes
I look at my woman and
I ask myself did you

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her

Tell her that you love her

Tell her that you love her
Tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss
She may never know unless you
Show her what your feeling
Tell her you're believing
Even though it's hard to say
'Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Tell her that you love her


11.I'm Already There

Written:Richie Mcdonald/Gary Baker/Frank Myers

He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said 'Daddy when you coming home'
He said the first thing that came to his mind

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there

She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There


12.Unusually Unusual

Lyrics:Mark Mcguinn
Music:Mark Mcguinn

She introduced herself as Amy, said call me Caroline for short
I just moved in three doors down so I wouldn't be the girl next
door
And I knew the shoes she wasn't wearing fit her just right
She said, 'Hey, man did you know that somebody left your grass
out in the yard all night?'

She's unusually unusual
Absolutely unpredictable
She's so different and that's what's wonderful
She's unusually unusual
And that's beautiful to me

She had a tattoo above her ankle of a trident submarine
She said it symbolizes awesome powers hidden deep within our
dreams
And her diamond eyes, different in color, held me captive in
their light
And she said 'Hey, man did you know we used to be brothers in
some past life?'
She's unusually unusual
Absolutely unpredictable
She's so different and that's what's wonderful
She's unusually unusual
And that's beautiful to me

Some people may think she's strange, a different cup of tea
But she just does it for me

She's unusually unusual
Absolutely unpredictable
She's so different and that's what's wonderful
She's unusually unusual
And that's beautiful to me


13.Not A Day Goes By

Written:Steven Diamond/Maribeth Derry

Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you asked me how I'm doin' I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinkin' you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishin' you were next to me, your head against my heart
If you asked me how I'm doing I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by

Minutes turn to hours, and the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by


14.My Front Porch Looking In

Written:Richie Mcdonald/Frank Myers/Don Pfrimmer

Ooo yea woo yeaaaa oo yea

The only ground I ever owned was stickin to my shoes
No I look at my front porch in this panoramic view
I could sit and watch the field fill up with rays of golden sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences like thats where it was hung

My investments are in front of me its not about the land
I'll never beat the view
From my front porch lookin in

Theres a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A lil blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong cuz she likes to
dress herself
And the most beautiful girl
Holdin both of them
Yea the view I love the most is my front porch lookin in

Yea yea

I travel here and everywhere
Followin my job
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of god
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I cant wait to get bak home to the woman he made for me

Cuz anywhere ill ever go and everywhere iv been
Nuthin takes my breath away like my front porch lookin in


I see wut beautiful is about
When im lookin in
Not when im lookin out


Theres a carrot top that can barely walk
(from my front porch lookin in)
A lil blue eyed blonde w/ shoes on wrong
(from my front porch lookin in)
The most beautiful girl
Holdin both of them
Oooo yea


15.Let's Be Us Again

Written:Richie Mcdonald/Maribeth Derry/Tommy Lee James

Tell me what I have to do tonight
'Cause I'd do anything to make it right
Let's be us again

I'm sorry for the way I lost my head
I don't know why I said the things I said
Let's be us again

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us again

Oh us again

Look at me, I'm way past pride
Isn't there some way that we can try
To be us again
Even if it takes a while
I'll wait right here until I see that smile
That says we're us again

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us

Baby baby what would I do
I can't imagine life without you

Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in

Oh, here I am
I'm reaching out for you
So won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us again

Oh let's be us again


16.Mr. Mom

Written:Richie Mcdonald/Ron Harbin/Don Pfrimmer

Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
She said I can go to work until you find another job
I said I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom

Chorus
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast six, naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
It's crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom

Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
There's that grocery list she left for me
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won't eat my charcoal coke

Repeat Chorus

Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time

Repeat Chorus

Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it
