1.Rodeo Man
(rob royer／beth hooker)
You better not fall for the rodeo man
If you want a little cottage with flowers growin' up the wall
Big pot cookin' when good friends come to call
Three little children, two of them planned
You better not fall for the rodeo man
But oh little sister what did you go and do
He's tough on the ponies and twice as hard on you
With a mouth full of chew and a pocket of sand
You go and fall in love with the rodeo man
So you ride that wind from town to town
Followin' that dream around
Hopin' when that cowboy falls
You'll catch him when he comes tumblin' down
I know he's got the stuff that'll bring out the woman in you
But you just gotta have that hard ridin' buck-a-roo
Well, just because he does it like nobody can
You go and fall in love with the rodeo man
You're gonna catch him when he comes tumblin' down
I know he's got the stuff that'll bring out the woman in you
But you just gotta have that hard ridin' buck-a-roo
And just because he does it like nobody can
You go and fall in love with the rodeo man
Yeah just because he does it like nobody can
You go and fall in love with the rodeo man
You go and fall in love with the rodeo man
Yeah you go and fall in love with the rodeo man
2.Not Yet But I'm Gettin' There
(keith follese／s. alan taylor)
You did a job when you broke my heart
Left pieces scattered everywhere
Can't say i found every part
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
Every night when i close my eyes
I dreamed about a day so fair
A time when i'm over you
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
I'm gonna make it to the place
When i no longer see your face
Someday i'll convince myself i don't care
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
I know somewhere down the line
There's an answer to my prayer
Gonna get a new lease on life
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
Little by little, bit by bit
I'm on the road to repair
On the way to a brand new me
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
I'm gonna make it to the place
When i no longer see your face
Someday i'll convince myself i don't care
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
I'm gonna make it to the place
When i no longer see your face
Someday i'll convince myself i don't care
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
Not yet but i'm gettin' there
3.I Don't Know Nothin' At All
(bob mcdill／tommy rocco)
You'll see that i'm no einstein
I'm more of the ordinary kind
But i know a thing or two
Well i don't want to brag to you
But i was pretty good in school
I had my own iq
Still i got so many questions
The answers that i just can't find
Why do we smile and never let the hurt inside us show
I don't know
Why do we have to hide the tears and let them walk away
I can't say
I know a little about this
I know a little about that
Know a little 'bout so many things, y'all
But when it comes to love
I don't know nothin' at all
I had a rendezvous with fate
I didn't wait to graduate
I had some things to do
I've studied life on my own
I've seen it all right up close
I've a learned a lot it's true
Still one part's always a puzzle
I guess i'll never understand
Why do we smile and never let the hurt inside us show
I don't know
Why do we have to hide the tears and let them walk away
I can't say
I know a little about this
I know a little about that
Know a little 'bout so many things, y'all
But when it comes to love
I don't know nothin' at all
Yeah, i know a little about this
I know a little about that
Know a little 'bout so many things, yeah
When it comes to love
Don't know nothin'
When it comes to love
Don't know nothin' at all
When it comes to love
I don't know nothin' at all
4.Collect From Wichita
(neal coty／randy vanwarmer)
It's rainin' cats and dogs
At a diner outside wichita
Out of money, our of breath
Somewhere in the great midwest
It ain't like you'll walk through that door
A thousand miles from baltimore
But if you did you'd understand
I'm drowning in this promise land
This time i've spent i've just been driftin'
And i ain't got nothin' left
Yeah, i've been bent and twisted
Into this state of helplessness
My back is up against the wall
Hopin' that you'll take my call
Collect from wichita
Left austin road in a cloud of dust
Screaming blind and furious
Splinters in my hands and feet
From pieces of our broken dreams
This time i've spent i've just been driftin'
And i ain't got nothin' left
Yeah, i've been bent and twisted
Into this state of helplessness
My back is up against the wall
Hopin' that you'll take my call
Collect from wichita
I hear that cold dial tone
I've got my heart on hold
Voice says will you take this call
Collect from wichita
This time i've spent i've just been driftin'
And i ain't got nothin' left
Yeah, i've been bent and twisted
Into this state of helplessness
My back is up against the wall
Hopin' that you'll take my call
Collect from wichita
5.Big Night Out
(steve mandile／kim parent)
Face in the mirror she's gettin' ready to go
Fussin' with her hair, singin' to the radio
The phone ring, ring, rings as she's slippin' on her jeans
Tighter than the law allows
Pedal to the floor she races downtown
For a big night out
Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance
Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band
Down on the corner milly's grill's cookin' all night long
Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk
A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk
Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about
That's the makin's of a big night out
On the other side of town there's a boy gettin' ready to go
Tv dinner with one eye on the fishin' show
He's a hard workin' guy with a party on his mind
And this is just another night on the town
Little does he know the stars are in line
For a big night out
Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance
Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band
Down on the corner milly's grill's cookin' all night long
Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk
A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk
Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about
That's the makin's of a big night out
His heart's beatin' fast when he says hello
Somethin' in the airs sayin' take it slow
Old time, storybook love of their lives
Just might get started tonight
Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance
Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band
Down on the corner milly's grill's cookin' all night long
Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk
A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk
Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about
That's the makin's of a big night out
The makin's of a big night out
6.My Heart Wasn't In It
(neal coty／pat terry)
There's an empty old house
On top of a hill
Covered with branches and vines
It was a dream house
We saved up to build it
Back when he was mine
Last night i got crazy
Walked up on the front porch
Don't know what i hoped to find
Along came his memory whispering to me
And he asked me to come inside
But my heart wasn't in it
He's not there
And i can't go home
My heart wasn't in it
The walls are standing
But the love is gone
Just for a moment
I stood in the doorway
Back in his arms again
Lost in the past
And the shadow he cast
About to leap over the edge
But my heart wasn't in it
He's not there
And i can't go home
My heart wasn't in it
The walls are standing
But the love is gone
Too many memories
Too many tears
I've tried to get over him
All of these years
But my heart wasn't in it
He's not there
And i can't go home
My heart wasn't in it
The walls are standing
But the love is gone
My heart wasn't in it
He's not there
And i can't go home
My heart wasn't in it
The walls are standing
But the love is gone
7.Next Train Out
(diane warren)
I listen to the sound of the rain
Fallin' down my window
Prayin' for a gentle wind
To bring my baby back again
Tryin' to be strong but i'm not getting any stronger
Loneliness is tearin' apart this heart of mine
I like awake 'cause i can't take another night lonely
It's been too long i can't hold on no more
And i'm leavin' on the next train out
'cause i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
'till he's sleepin' here beside me
Here beside me again
Talkin' on the phone but that don't make it any better
Nothin's gonna ease this pain
Until i'm in his arms again
Runnin' down the stairs there's a taxi
Waiting for me
Loneliness i'm gonna leave you
Far behind
I'd walk for days through pouring rain
Anything to be with him
It's been too long, i can't be strong no more
And i'm leavin' on the next train out
'cause i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
'till he's sleepin' here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby
Gotta be with him
Gotta be by his side
Gonna be with him
My heart's made up my mind
And i'm leavin' on the next train out
'cause i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
'till he's sleepin' here beside me
Here beside me again
And i'm leavin' on the next train out
'cause i gotta see my baby
It's been too long since i held him in my arms
And i just won't sleep at night
'till he's sleepin' here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby
8.Mind Over Matters Of The Heart
(rob crosby)
Waking up with my head in a cloud
Watching the morning come
Another day of the week in a month in a year
In a life that's come undone
I might as well quit trying
To get you off my mind
I might as well quit hoping
That this heart will heal in time
'cause i can't brun a bridge that i'm still crossing
And i can't lose a past that i'm still lost in
I can tell myself it's over
And make a brand new start
But there's no such thing as
Mind over matters of the heart
Everyday there's another attempt
To convince myself you're gone
Every night there's a promise i make
That tomorrow i'll move on
But there's a voice inside me
That calls your name out loud
A part of my still hopes
To see your face in every crowd
'cause i can't brun a bridge that i'm still crossing
And i can't lose a past that i'm still lost in
I can tell myself it's over
And make a brand new start
But there's no such thing as
Mind over matters of the heart
I can tell myself it's over
And make a brand new start
But there's no such thing as
Mind over matters of the heart
9.One Way Ticket
(ronna reeves／jimmy grubbs)
She wakes up every morning
And drags a brush through her hair
Has a strong cup of coffee
She ain't got much to wear
She punches in at 7 a.m.
And works a 10 hour shift
She's livin' a hard life
She's still got a lot to give
She ain't got a whole lot of money
That ain't stopped her yet
This girls got hopes and dreams
She's not through livin' yet
She's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry
She's workin' on a one way ticket
To anywhere
Everybody's so settled down
Just live day to day
Well billy wants to marry her
She don't know what to say
There's nothing wrong with a small town
Some folks never leave
But this girls got a wild heart
Tryin' to get free
She ain't got a whole lot of money
That ain't stopped her yet
This girls got hopes and dreams
She's not through livin' yet
She's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry
She's workin' on a one way ticket
To anywhere
She could take billy's offer
And have a couple of kids
She could stay at the factory
Yeah... just like her momma did
But this girl's different
She's gotta go her own way
She might be a little foolish
She's goin' for it anyway
She ain't got a whole lot of money
That ain't stopped her yet
This girls got hopes and dreams
She's not through livin' yet
She's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry
She's workin' on a one way ticket
To anywhere
She's gotta go her own way
This girl's different
10.After The Dance
(tommy rocco／art masters／bob regan)
You take my hand
Song starts to play
Softly you hold me
Slowly we sway
You whisper sweet words of love
And i drift away
I feel like i'm falling, under a spell
Whatever you do, you sure do it well
I wanna let go, but i need to know where i stand
After the dance is done
And the moment is gone
And the music is faded away
Will i still be the one
After the dance
After the dance is done
We walk together, into the night
A sliver of moon, is just enough light
You look at me, i could get lost in your eyes
You say it's love, maybe it's true
And it would be easy, to give into you
But as much as i want you,
That's how much i want to be sure
After the dance is done
And the moment is gone
And the music is faded away
Will i still be the one
After the dance
After the dance is done
As much as i want you,
That's how much i want to be sure
After the dance is done
And the moment is gone
And the music is faded away
Will i still be the one
After the dance
After the dance is done
After the dance is done
After the dance is done
