1.Can't Stop Now
(gary nicholson, wendy waldman)
I can't say i didn't know what i was doin'
I can't pretend things just got outta hand
I shoulda kept my distance
While i was still strong
But i got caught up in the feelin'
Carried along and it's
Too late baby
I can't stop now
Well i walked right in with my eyes wide open (i did)
And i was blind when you told me
You'd be mine just as soon as you were free
I should have kept my distance
While i was still strong
But i got caught up in the feelin'
Carried along and it's
Too late baby
I can't stop now
Can't stop now
Crazy heart's runnin' outta control
Can't stop now
And i'll be falling apart somewhere down the road
I might be headed for a breakdown
But i can't stop now
Glen!
2.Cathy's Clown
(don everly)
Chorus：
I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's cathy's clown
You know you've got to stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
And when you let her tell you lies
And you let em pass you by
You're not a man at all
She don't want your loving anymore
She don't want your kisses that's for sure
Why do you let them put you down
And let em call you cathy's clown
When you see me shed a tear
Then you know that i'm sincere
I just think it's kinda sad
That she's treating you so bad
And i'm the one who cares
Repeat chorus
You're cathy's clown
You're cathy's clown
3.I Know How He Feels
(rick bowles, will robinson)
When i heard that familiar voice,
My heart stopped dead in it's tracks.
Across the room i could see him there,
A ghost from my past.
But he's too caught up to notice me.
She must be his new love.
I never dreamed that it would hurt this much,
It's just
I know how he feels.
How warm his touch is.
Oh how he feels.
How soft his kiss is.
And it cuts right down to the bone
Cause i let him go.
I know how he cares.
How strong his love can be,
When he believes it's real.
Oh i've been there.
I know how he feels.
As long as i kept him out of site,
I kept from going out of my mind.
Tried to believe that leaving him was some how justified.
But tonight there's no denying what a love like his is worth
He once looked at me the way he's looking at her.
What a lucky girl.
4.Jolene
(dolly parton)
Chorus：
Jolene, jolene
Jolene, jolene
I'm beggin' of you
Please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene
Jolene, jolene
Please don't take him
Even though you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin
And eyes of emerald green
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing i can do to keep from cryin'
When he calls your name jolene
Repeat chorus
Well you can have your choice of men
But i could never love again
He's the only one for me jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do jolene
Repeat chorus
Jolene
Jolene
Jolene
Ya know i've met dolly parton,
And i'm glad to say that we're pretty good friends.
I've met loretta lynn and tammy wynette, brenda lee.
A lot of people who have influenced me.
Other folks like merle haggard george jones and
Ray price. it really upsets me cause i didn't get to meet a lot
of the
People who did influence me, like i never got to meet bob wills
And i never got to meet this next lady i'm gonna tell you about.
The only way i can tell you about her now,
Is the way i learned about her the best is through her songs.
5.Let The Music Lift You Up
(troy seals, eddie setser)
Well you say you're from the city
Chicago is your home
Hey i'm a country girl
Over oklahoma way
Oh there are miles and miles between us
But that don't mean a thing
When those guitars start to play
Oh sweet sounds of freedom
Ringing through the air
Sending out a message to us all
We don't have a curtain
Made of iron or stone
We are not divided by a wall
Chorus：
So come on tell me
Hey, hey, hey
From l.a. to broadway
Hey, hey, hey
Let the music lift you up
Hey, hey, hey,
Whoa everybody's singin'
Hey, hey, hey,
Let the music lift you up
When you're feelin' low
Hit that radio
Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up
There are books that tell us
What makes this whole world turn
And how heaven holds the star wars
But there's no explanation
Lord it's still a mystery
How a song can touch your heart
Repeat chorus
Let the music lift you
Let the music lift you
Up, way up, way up
6.Little Girl
(kendal franceschi, quentin powers)
Daddy used to tell me
If i ran too fast i'd fall and hurt myself
But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And i'd get there before anyone else
I'd see a puppy in the window
And i'd run and press my face against the pane
And daddy'd say slow down girl
After all these years i guess nothing has changed
Chorus：
That little girl i knew
Ran after you
But she fell this time
And broke her heart in two
Hey that's just like a little girl i knew
Back home there stands an old house
With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree
I can almost see the backyard
And a little girl with freckles
That was me
And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and
Lord it seemed i wanted them so bad
Now 20 years have come and gone
And i'm still chasing things that i can't have
Repeat chorus
Yes, i'm still that little girl
Daddy i still haven't slowed down yet
7.Little Rock
(pat mcmanus, bob dipiero, gerry house)
Well i'm married to the good life
I said i'd be a good wife
When i put on this ring
I drive a new mercedes
I play tennis with the ladies
I buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving
Chorus：
Oh little rock
Think i'm gonna have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life than what i've got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm gonna find someone who really cares a lot
When i slip off this little rock
Well i wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't even kiss me
When he comes home at night
He never calls me honey
But he sure loves his money
And i'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me
Repeat chorus x2
8.Mama Tried
(merle haggard)
First thing i remember knowin'
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
And a young one's dream of growin' up to ride
On a freight train leavin' town
Not knowin' where i'm bound
No one could steer me right
But mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my sunday learnin'
Toward the bad i kept on turnin'
Till mama couldn't hold me anymore
And i turned twenty-one in prison
Doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right
But mama tried mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better
But her pleading i denied
And that leaves only me to blame
'cause mama tried
And then there was another man from texas.
My mama and daddy used to drive for
Miles and miles just to listen to him sing.
I remember mama used to tell me.
She'd say 'reba he's got the best voice i've ever heard'
And then later on when i got to go and listen to him sing,
I'd sit there all night long and wait for
Ray price to sing the blues.
9.New Fool At An Old Game
(steve bogard, rick giles, sheila
Stephen)
You sure know what you're doing holding me this way.
And i'll go where you lead me
Anywhere you say.
You've got me where you want me.
So darling please be kind.
Before you take it all, and i
Make that final fall.
You've got to keep in mind i'm
A new fool at an old game.
A kid out of school, trying to find my way.
But i don't know the rules, teach me how to play.
I'm just a new fool at an old game.
Maybe i'm a dreamer, or maybe i'm naive.
But when you say you love me i start to believe
That coal can turn to diamonds.
And this night will never end.
But if it isn't so, and i cry when you go.
You've got to understand that
I'm a new fool at an old game.
A kid out of school, trying to find my way.
But i don't know the rules, teach me how to play.
I'm just a new fool at an old game
10.Night Life
(w. nelson, p. buskirk, w. breeland)
When the evenin'
Sun goes down
You can find me
Hangin' around
Oh the night life
Ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people
Just like me
Dreaming of
Old used to be's
Oh the night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh listen to the blues they're playin'
Oh listen to what the blues are sayin'
Mine is just
Another scheme
In a world
Of broken dreams
Oh the night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life
(play me some blues boys)
Oh listen to the blues they're playin'
Oh listen to what the blues are sayin'
When the evenin'
Sun goes down
You can find me
Hangin' around
Oh the night life
It ain't no good life
But it's my life
The night life
Ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh i love that song. you know i told you about the men
Who have influenced me in my music.
Well now i want to tell you about the women.
And there's lots of them.
But this first one i wanna tell you about,
I admired her for a long time .
First of all, it was because of her songwriting.
I liked the way she always told a story in her songs.
And then in her singing.
I always loved to listen to her sing.
She had a different style, a different quality about it.
She's so witty, so personable and you know
No matter whether it's her singing,
Her songwriting, or her acting,
I'll always be a big fan of dolly parton!
11.One Promise Too Late
(dave loggins, lisa silver, don schlitz)
I would have waited forever
If i'd known that you'd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held each other close all through the years
But i've met someone before you
And my heart just couldn't wait
So no matter how much i adore you
I've got to stand behind the promise that i made
Chorus：
Where were you
When i could have loved you
Where were you
When i gave my heart away
All my life i've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
I won't say that i'm sorry that i met you
I can't have you but i never will forget you
Repeat chorus x2

13.San Antonio Rose
(bob wills)
Oh you and all your splendor
It knows only me heart
Call back my rose
Rose of san antone
Oh lips so sweet and tender
Just like petals fallin' apart
Speak once again of my love
My ol' broken songs
Empty words i know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit path
Oh beside the alamo
And rose my rose of san antone
Oh my rose my rose of san antone
Take a bow boys!
You know a lot of people ask me all the time,
Who were my musical influences.
Well i guess it's just kinda natural,
Since i was raised in oklahoma,
That one of my musical influences was bob wills music.
When i was in college we used to
Sneak down to the oklahoma and texas border and go to dances.
And it didn't get any better than dancing to bob wills music.
But you know there was another guy from oklahoma.
I had every album he ever put out.
My older brother
Pake and my little sister susie and me, we sang every song he
did
Cause merle haggard was a great influence on all of us.
14.So, So, So Long
(s. alan taylor, lisa palas)
Yeah, yeah, yeah hmmm hmm
You know it seems like i've loved you forever.
Who could be closer than you and i.
People even say we're so much alike,
But they don't know why i've been loving
You so long that i know every move you make
,every breath you take.
Lord i feel it so strong.
Sometimes i don't know where i end,
And where you begin.
Oh you make me so happy,
Feeling like this there's so much ahead
That i don't want to miss oh i want
To keep it so good
So, so, so long so fine, so
Real, so right, oh i want to keep it so good
So, so, so, long eh, yeah.
Yeah mmmm mmm oh darling don't think for a minute
Time could ever steal the thrill away.
You've still got the power to be
My man and you know you can i've been loving you so
Long.
Repeat chorus
15.Somebody Up There Likes Me
(suzi-hoskins-wills,bill cooley)
I can't get used to the hustle
I try to keep my actions straight
I get caught in the bustle
I do things i really hate
Just when i think i'm sinking
I hear a voice inside my head
Says don't do what you're thinking
Send your thoughts to me instead
Chorus：
Somebody up there likes me
Somebody up there knows what i need
When my worldly head spins around
He sends his love down
You know i'm only human
That's all i always say
It's just excuses
So i can do things my own way
But when i fall and stumble
I know i will be saved
No my world won't crumble
I'll make it through the hardest days
Repeat chorus
I wish i'd known all along
But it's much better late
Than to never know you're wrong
Repeat chorus x2
He sends his love down
Somebody up there likes me
16.Sunday Kind Of Love
i want a sunday kind of love.
A love to last, past saturday night.
I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight.
I want a sunday kind of love.
And i want a, a love that's on the square.
Can't seem to find somebody, someone to care.
And i'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere.
I need a sunday kind of love.
I do all my sunday dreaming, and all my scheming.
Every minute, every hour, every day
And i'm hoping to discover a certain kind of
Lover who will show me the way.
And my arms need someone to enfold
To keep me warm when monday's and tuesday's grow
Cold. and i need a love for all my life to have
And to hold.
I want a sunday kind of love.
17.Sweet Dreams
(don gibson)
Sweet dreams of you
Every night i go through
Why can't i forget you
And start my life new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me
It's plain
I should have known
I'd never wear your ring
I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Why can't i forget the past
And start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
18.Whoever's In New England
(kendal franceschi／quentin powers)
You spend an awful lot of time in massachutes
Seems like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there
You say that its important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
Each time duty calls you got to give it all
You've got with all your heart
When whoever's in new england is through with you
And boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to
go
When whoever's in new englands through with you
I hear the winter time up north can last forever
Ive been told its beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind
Just disappears i hear
I packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again theres just one thing you outta know
When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me
Who feels the cold most of all
When whoever's in new england is through with you
And boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to
go
When whoever's in new englands through with you
19.You Must Really Love Me
(don schlitz, reba mcentire)
Tell me why do you put up with my foolish ways
You never take to heart the crazy things i say
Oh i know you could walk out on me any day
There must be a darn good reason why you'd even want to stay
Chorus：
You must really love me
How can it be true
There are things you'll take from me
I won't even take from you
Everytime i fall apart
You always pull me through
You must really love me
As much as i love you
You must really love me
As much as i love you
I appreciate the honesty you've shown to me
And the way you tell your friends that you belong to me
And when you hold me tight it always sets me free
Oh this must be the way that true love was meant to be
Repeat chorus (and lord i'm glad you do)
