1.More Than I Wanted To Know

(bob regan/michael noble)

I wanted to know about tenderness
About the magic in a kiss and all the rest
It was easy for you to play the part
Of a romeo to my willing heart
I gave it freely
Oh you showed me

Chorus:
Just a little more than i wanted to know
Just a little further than i wanted to go
I found out if you twist me, turn me, sooth me, burn me
You leave me all mixed up
Thats just a little more than i wanted to know about love

Its a real good lesson i learned from you
The more you give the more you stand to lose
I gave my all, hey thats the deal
But what i got was all to real
The joy and the lonesome
The good and then some

(repeat chorus)

Just a little more than i wanted to know
Just a little further than i wanted to go
I found if you heal me, break me, kill me, save me
Hurts all too much
Thats just a little more than i wanted to know about love
About love


2.The Big Bad Broken Heart

(mark d. sanders/ed hill)

I told mamma, time to make my way now
I'll be departin' any day now
She dried a tear and whispered, well ok now
Then she proceeded to offer me this advice
She said some night you're gonna find romance
Some boy who is gonna want a slow dance
You'll melt when he takes a hold of your hand
Well thats one time you might outta better think twice

Chorus:
Sometimes love strikes like lightning
Never seen nothing so exciting
Head over heals and thats where the trouble starts
Boys will lead you on like its all or nothing
When they start that huffin' and a puffin'
Watch out for the big bad broken heart

Those boys don't know the word devotion
Passion is just a passing motion
They'll leave you bobbing in loves ocean
With a sea of tears welling up in your eyes

(repeat chorus)


3.Asking For The Moon

(chapin hartford/george teren)

The fences are mended, the bills are all paid
And i feel kinda guilty for feeling this way
For all you that you give me and all that you do
I can't help missing the romantic moments i once had with you

Chorus:
I'm only asking for the moon
The stars in your eyes
One of those nights when you hold me close to you
I'm not asking for much, a kiss or a touch
Nothing thats hard to do
I'm only asking for the moon

It won't cost a penny
You don't have to go far
Who needs to see paris
When we can find heaven in our own back yard

(repeat chorus)

I need you to hold me close like you used to do
I'm only asking for the moon


4.A Far Cry From Him

(rick giles/susan longarce)

She's waiting on the train
And her mind is riding restless
She's got a long trail of pain
To lay down on this rail through texas
Oh but some sweet night
She'll ride it right to the other side

Chorus:
She could go east and let her tears dry in the morning sun
She could go south and burn off the memories one by one
She could go west where they never fence you in
She could go north and let them blow in the wind
Anywhere at all, thats a far cry from here

She doesn't want to see another truck that dusty color
And she don't want to hear his cold laughter around the corner
Oh she's got to leave it all
Because this big old town is way too small

(repeat chorus)

Anywhere she won't here his name again
Anywhere his trails never lead

(repeat chorus)

Anywhere she won't here his name again

(repeat chorus)


5.Ticket Out Of Kansas

(tia sillers)

I got my brother frank's suitcase
He used it once to join the army
But they found out he had flat feet
And stayed gone barely two weeks
I got my sister pearl's best dress
She used to wear it dancin'
But now she's married to a preacher
And they don't allow that kind of thing

And i'm standing by this greyhound
I'm so scared that i can't stand it
All dressed up in their hand me downs
With this ticket out of kansas
Oh my ticket out of kansas

Now aunt louise thinks i can sing
She thinks i've got a shot
She gave me her first wedding ring
She let me put in hock
Momma swears that i'm a treasure
That i've got diamonds in my soul
Waiting to be discovered
Waiting for the world to know

And i'm climbing aboard this greyhound
I'm so scared that i can't stand it
All packed up with all their hand me downs
And this ticket out of kansas
Oh my ticket out of kansas

Daddy hands me his bible
Its marked the book of jobe
He says girl you're gonna need it
Girl you better go

And i'm waiting from this greyhound
I'm so scared that i can't stand it
All packed up with their hand me downs
And this ticket out of kansas
They are all waitin' at my greyhound
I'm so scared that i can't stand
Cuz i know so many dreams are bound
With this ticket out of kansas

Oh my ticket out of kansas
Ticket out of kansas
Oh my ticket out of kansas
Oh my ticket


6.Border Town Road

(wally wilson/paul nelson/larry boone)

She was taught the world was small
That it's all dirt and dust
Sunday school and country songs
Things a girl can trust

She'll learn her lesson well
She played her part
But those back roads couldn't give
What was missing in her heart

Chorus:
You can make love staring at the stars
From the cold back seat of a beat up car
But there's only so far that a small town girl can go
When the sun comes up its still the same old sun
'cuz the moon don't hang out on border town road

She thinks of all the reasons
Why she outta stay right here
A river that runs deep and wide
A sky thats always clear
She knows she can live her life
Just to watch those seasons change
What's she supposed to do with those relentless dreams

(repeat chorus)

In her room she packs her clothes
To the glow of a distant light
She knows the moon is shining
Somewhere on the other side

(repeat chorus)


7.I Should Be Laughing

(patty smyth/glen burtnik)

Somewhere in a scrap book
There's a rose you gave to me
And the photograph thats torn in half
And all thats left is me
Live happily ever after
That came after i was gone
And they tell you that you can't go back
Then why can't i go on?

Chorus:
When should be laughin' at this joke
Dressed up as love, diguised as hope
And isn't funny after all this time
A tear is fallin' when i should be laughin'

Sunsets are like a painting, windows like a frame
When night comes in and i begin
To see it all again

'cuz i should be laughing at this joke
The damage done the words i spoke
And isn't funny after all this time
Regret can find me when i should be laughin'
I should laughin' at life
And all of the tricks that it plays
I should be laughing at time
And how fast its slippin' away

Somewhere in a scrap book
There's a rose you gave to me
And with one last look
I close the book
And let the past just be

(repeat chorus)


8.Right Plan, Wrong Man

(bill douglas/pebe sebert)

Becky had a guy she was crazy about
Met him in her home room class
She wore his letter jacket
And she had no doubt
That what they had was gonna last
They talked about kids and a little white house
With a porch swing and picket fence
But on graduation night he went out with the guys
She ain't never seen him since

Chorus:
She had the right plan, just the wrong man
But she ain't giving up on love
Her hearts been broken but she understands
She had the right plan, just the wrong man

Now becky is a beautitian at the cut and curl
And willy works for ups
Willy asked becky if she'd be his girl
And becky told willy yes
They sneak out to the van
And they make their plans
Five acres and a set of twins
But she caught willy with the waitress from the waffle house
Checkin' out at holiday inn

(repeat chorus)

Now all her girlfriends they just shake their heads
Sayin' girl you got some nerve
But becky don't care knows he's out there somewhere
She ain't never givin' up

(repeat chorus)


9.Before I Knew About You

(gary burr/tom shapiro)

Before i knew about you
The moon was just a rock
That hung there silent in the sky
Before i knew about you
I guess its all the dreams
Were just a way to pass the night

Nothing, i heard nothing
When i listened to those love songs
I wondered, was it something
I was missing
Then you came along

Chorus:
I didn't know
I could ever be so loved
I didn't know
That i could give so much
I didn't know
In this life a heart could be so true
I didn't know a thing
Before i knew about you

Before i knew about you
I thought of only me
And how'd i get from day to day
Before i knew about you
I didn't mind the lonely
I never learned another way

I was in the darkness
So it rocked me
Then around came on
A new life, it started
And it shocked me
How far i had come

(repeat chorus twice)


10.She'll Let That Telephone Ring

(tim mensy/liz hengber)

Once again its calling to her
Its a sound she knows
Through the night its getting louder
It must know shes home
Its trying to wear her down
As she sits softly crying
Feeling weak but being strong
She lets that telephone ring

Chorus:
She used to run each time he called
She'd always give in
His voice would melt her
And wash away his sins
She'd forgive him
But tonight she's keeping
That hand from reaching
She'll let that telephone ring

From a phone booth he just listens
Why don't she pick up
He's been trying now for hours
Still he won't hang up
He's feeling desparate now
As the rain starts falling
He can't face it that its over
He lets that telephone ring

(repeat chorus)

She turns the light off
Lays her head down
Lets that telephone ring
