1.High Low And In Between

(david kent/harley campbell)

My baby gets me shakin' - she's got a way of makin' me
Feel like i'm still seventeen
She gets me high-she gets me low-and in between

Blue eyes she's got 'em - legs on the bottom
She tippy-toed right out of a dream
She's got it high - she's got it low - and in bewteen

Now i'm higher than a flag on the 4th of july
Low down in love and she's the reason why
She gets a hold of me and takes complete control of me
If you know what i mean
My baby's got me - high-low - and in between

Now baby's got the kind of kiss - you could start a fire with
she don't need no gasoline
I'm burnin' high - i'm burnin' low - and in between
I'll find 'er on the second floor
And chase 'er through the cellar door
And catch 'er by the washin' machine
She takes me high - she takes me low - and in between

Now i'm higher than a flag on the 4th of july
Low down in love and she's the reason why
She gets a hold of me and takes complete control of me
If you know what i mean
My baby's got me - high-low - and in between

Now i'm higher than a flag on the 4th of july
Low down in love and she's the reason why
She gets a hold of me and takes complete control of me
If you know what i mean
My baby's got me - high-low - and in between

My baby's got me - high-low - and in between
Well, she's got it high - she's got me low - and in between


2.Jacob's Ladder

(tony martin/carl sweat/brenda sweat)

Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house
And rachael was a land baron's daughter
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
Her daddy said he wouldn't stand
For rachael to waste her life with a common man
He tried hard to keep them apart
But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart

So late one night by the harvest moon
Jacob climed a ladder up to rachael's room
He knew his place, it was right beside her
Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter
'cause heaven was waitin' at the top of jacob's ladder

It'll be five years september
Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill
He swore he'd never forgive them
But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will
Now she climbs up on his knee
Says, 'grandpa, tell a story, the one about me'
He thinks back and his eyes shine
Says, 'listen child, once upon a time'

Late one night by the harvest moon
Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama's room
He knew his place, it was right besde her
Step by step up to her world
Head over heels for my little girl
And here you are, that's all that matters
'cause heaven was watin' at the top of jacob's ladder

Oh, an angel was waitin' at the top of jacob's ladder


3.What's Not To Love

(max t. barnes/trey bruce)

That mirror's been lyin' to you
'cause my eyes see the same girl i gave my heart to
Where you see time's erosion
I see beauty growin'
But you wonder if i'm still in love with you

What's not to love about perfection
Honesty and passion
You're the purest form of heaven on earth
What kind of man could lose a feelin' for
The nights we spent behind these doors
Livin' every man's dream without wakin' up
Yes i love you, what's not to love

You're hearin' these stories from friends
At first how love works, at last how it ends
But the thing that makes us different
Is this love's got you in it
And i'd fall for you all over again

What's not to love about perfection
Honesty and passion
You're the purest form of heaven on earth
What kind of man could lose a feelin' for
The nights we spent behind these doors
Livin' every man's dream without wakin' up
Yes i love you, what's not to love

What kind of man could lose a feelin' for
The nights we spent behind these door's
Livin' every man's dream without wakin' up
Yes, i love you, what's not to love


4.Any Fool Can Say Goodbye

(gary harrison/tim mensy)

We finally got it out all in the open
We agreed it's time this chapter closed
Soon you'll be on an airplane to your momma's
Where that leaves me i don't really know
But standing here i just got to thinkin'
You know this airport's open every day
So where's the fire darlin' what's the hurry
Don't you think goodbye can wait

Before we take this leaving any farther
Let's reach a little deeper inside
Maybe we could try a little harder
Roll up our sleeves and keep this love alive
Any fool can say goodbye

Remember when our love was all that mattered
Back when all we had was love and dreams
Before we knew it baby something happened
Dreams got put aside to make ends meet
Don't you think we owe it to the good times
Not to let the hard times win
We can walk away tomorow
Tonight let's try again

Before we take this leaving any farther
Let's reach a little deeper inside
Maybe we could try a little harder
Roll up our sleeves and keep this love alive
Any fool can say goodbye

Any fool can say goodbye


5.Ace Of Hearts

(carson chamberlain/lonnie wilson/ronnie moore)

Love's a gamble every heart will take
You roll the dice in hopes that it won't break
One night i bet on your blue eyes and took a chance
And i won a whole lot more than one night of romance

I held the ace of hearts, that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
And i hold the winning hand anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose, 'cause, i've got you my ace of hearts

Love's a numbered wheel you have to spin
There's no need for me to spin again
Because lovin' you is paying off more than i knew
I took a little risk, lord, and hit it big with you

I held the ace of hearts, that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
And i hold the winning hand anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose, 'cause, i've got you my ace of hearts

I held the ace of hearts, that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
And i hold the winning hand anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose, 'cause, i've got you my ace of hearts

Oh, now i've got you, my ace of hearts


6.Leavin' Coming On

(skip ewing/jerry kilgore)

No one ever really owns somebody else's heart
You can't really give it all away
But give enough to someone and your world will fall apart
If that someone takes their love away
Right now my world is shakin'
Earthquakes and tidal waves
I can't tell the future
But i think it's safe to say

I can feel her leavin' coming on
I just got a feelin' awful strong
She's already packin' up her heart and moving on
It's almost like she's fadin' out of sight
Disappearing right before my eyes
At this rate it won't be long before she's gone
I can feel her leavin' coming on

I can't say exactly why i feel the way i feel
All of this is something i can't prove
But things she doesn't do and words she doesn't say
Lead me to believe that it's all true
I'm guessing and i know it
But i'm guessing that i'm right
She hasn't started going
But any day she might and

I can feel her leavin' coming on
I just got a feelin' awful strong
She's already packin' up her heart and moving on
It's almost like she's fadin' out of sight
Disappearing right before my eyes
At this rate it won't be long before she's gone
I can feel her leavin'

At this rate it won't be long before she's gone,
I can feel her leavin' coming on
Oh no, i can feel her leavin' coming on


7.Sudden Stop

(pat bunch/doug johnson)

I got a 'dear john' letter in the mail just the other day
I opened it up and there wasn't much left to say
A bus ticket, plane ticket, train ticket
There's about a hundred ways to leave
It ain't her goodbye, it's her gone that's killin' me

'cause i'm here to tell you
If i learned one thing about love
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop that does

Well i wasn't gonna take this broken heart laying down
So i jumped up, cranked up and headed for the lights of town
In a bright red drop dead tight dress she said, 'honey come on
in'
And head over high heels, here i go again

'cause i'm here to tell you
If i learned one thing about love
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop that does

Red light green light seat belt real tight
I'm headed straight for the wall
Goin' ninety miles an hour well i'm gonna risk it all

'cause i'm here to tell you
If i learned one thing about love
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop
It ain't the fall at all
It's that sudden stop
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop that does


8.I Wonder If He Knows

(tim mensy/roger springer)

She don't like to stay out late
She'd rather be at home
Holdin' hands by the fireplace
I wonder if he knows
She likes moonlit walks on a seashore sand
Pickin' up shells with her toes
It's the silly things that make her laugh
I wonder if he knows

I wonder if he knows
Just where her heart has been
I wonder if it shows
She won't let it be broken again
It took a long time to mend
I wonder if he knows

She believes in a wedding band
And that the truth be told
She's gonna need a one-woman man
I wonder if he knows
She can't trust a man who tells a lie
That's farther than she will go
She'll find the strength to say goodbye
Oh, i wonder if he knows

I wonder if he knows
Just where her heart has been
I wonder if it shows
She won't let it be broken again
It took a long time to mend
I wonder if he knows

Oh, i wonder if he knows


9.Places I've Never Been

(tony martin/reese wilson/aimee mayo)

I've never the sun set at montigo bay
But my heart melts when you look at me that way
And i've never seen the snow fall
From a rocky mountain sky
But i get a chill just by lookin' in your eyes

'cause you take me places i've never been
I travel the world in your arms and back again
I have no need to wander or go chasing those four winds
'cause you take me places i've never been

I may never see the wonders on this earth
I may never hold treasures of great worth
I could search the whole world over
But i don't have to go that far
I've got it all right here in my arms

'cause you take me places that i've never been
I travel the world in your arms and back again
I have no need to wander or go chasing those four winds
'cause you take me places i've never been

'cause you take me places i've never been


10.Squeeze Box

(monty criswell/michael white)

I'm slippin' into slidell, the boys and me
Take a left at the texaco, gonna see sweet marie
She plays down at jimbeaux's gumbo and washtub
In calico and barefeet in a band called the mudbugs
I been workin' up my never and i can hardly
Tonight when she asks for request
I'll stand up and say

I wanna be your squeeze box
Always at your fingertips
I wanna be your blues harp
A little closer to your lips
Let me be your washboard
You can play me fast or slow
Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard baby
Anything you can hold

Got a bucket full of crawfish, a seat on the front row
Just to sit this close to her, it's like a shot of tabasco
Makin' trips to the tip jar, keep it full of dollar bills
Tonight i'm gonna go for broke, show her just how i feel
One way or another, lord, she's gonna notice me
If i have to jump up on that stage and get down on my knees
I'll be beggin her please

Let me be your squeeze box
Always at your fingertips
I wanna be your blues harp
A little closer to your lips
Let me be your washboard
You can play me fast or slow
Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard baby
Anything you can hold

Squeeze box, blues harp, washboard, baby
Anything you can hold


11.What Love Is

(karen taylor-good/roberta schiller)

He starts your fire then he cools down
He comes by when he wants you then he stops coming round
You say his love's like nothing else, you never felt so much
What you're feeling might be something else
But it don't look like love

'cause love don't lie
And love don't cheat
Love don't promise what it can't keep
And love ain't someone you always miss
Oh won't you let me hold you
And i will show what love is

I'll build a fire you can't put out
I'll take you higher than you've ever dreamed about
I know it's hard to let him go but is he worth the pain
'cause even though you say he cares
Love don't look that way

'cause love don't lie
And love don't cheat
Love don't promise what it can't keep
And love ain't someone you always miss
Oh won't you let me hold you and i will show you that

Love don't lie
And love don't cheat
Love don't promise what it can't keep
And love ain't someone you always miss
Oh won't you let me hold you
And i will show what love is

And i will show you what love is


12.Look Where She Is Today

(ed hill/billy spencer)

She could have had anything she wanted
The world lay at her feet
'cause the oldest son of a well-to-do banker
Offered her easy street
Pearls and diamonds and french perfumes
To take her breath away
Well, she got everything she wanted
Just look where she is today

She's riding in my old car
Sitting right next to me
Inner tubes piled on the top
Headed out to crooked creek
Gonna float throgh the afternoon
Hold hands and drift away
Anybody can see she loves me
Look where she is today

She could have had a heart shaped pool
And a yard like a puttin' green
But she likes to feel her toes in the mud
Wearin' her cut-off jeans
She says right beside me
Is where she wants to stay
If you want a good look at a love that's true
Just look where she is today

She's riding in my old car
Sitting right next to me
Inner tubes piled on the top
Headed out to crooked creek
Gonna float throgh the afternoon
Hold hands and drift away
Anybody can see she loves me
Just look where she is today

Alright
Gonna float through the afternoon
Hold hands and drift away
Anybody can see she loves me
Just look where she is today
Anybody can see she loves me
Just look where she is today
