1.Never Bit A Bullet Like This
(duet with george jones)
(mark petersen／jim foster)
(track 11 - time 2：21)
I've been abused and used and skinned up and bruised
And thrown from a movin' train
I've been homeless, car less, lost in the wilderness
Out in the pourin' rain
I've been a business flop spent a year on top
Of the most unwanted list
But i never bit a bullet like this
I've taken many a fall and i got through 'em all
But i've never been hurt this bad
You're making plans with a brand new man
And the pain is driving me mad
I've had to bite the bullet when things got tough
But the sea of love has never been this rough
And i've never been this far from shore
I never bit a bullet like this before
I never bit a bullet like this
I've been tied up, fried up, chocked up and dried up
Under a lot of stress
I've been burned down, turned down, been run out of town
Up to my ears in a mess
I had a year go by with tears in my eyes
I didn't even want to exist
But i never bit a bullet like this
I've taken many a fall and i got through 'em all
But i've never been hurt this bad
And you're making plans with a brand new man
And the pain is driving me mad
I've had to bite the bullet when things got tough
But the sea of love has never been this rough
And i've never been this far from shore
I never bit a bullet like this before
I never bit a bullet like this
I never bit a bullet like this before
I never bit a bullet like this
2.The Heart That Time Forgot
(sterling whipple／tony martin)
(track 10 - time 3：09)
Just when i feel like a night on the town
Old friends haven't seen you around
And you seem out of my life
And you walk in on the arm of the new man you found
There's no way that i can slip out
Except out of my mind
They say time can heal every broken heart
Well time's had time enough to do it's part
By now i should be over you but i'm not
I'm the man with the heart that time forgot
I look away but clear 'cross the loud smokey room
I swear i can smell your perfume
Just like rain on the wind
Your voice plays in my heart like an old favorite tune
No matter how long it's too soon
To see you again
They say time can heal every broken heart
Well time's had time enough to do it's part
By now i should be over you but i'm not
I'm the man with the heart that time forgot
I'm the man with the heart that time forgot
3.If You're Gonna Walk, I'm Gonna Crawl
(buddy cannon／larry bastian)
(track 9 - time 2：21)
I'm a monday night football, friday night pool hall guy
I ain't never been one to let a good time pass me by
You're standin' there statin' you're tired of waitin'
My celebratin's gratin' on you
If you feel that way if it'll make you stay
Well here's what i'm gonna do
If you're gonna walk, i'm gonna crawl
You'll see how low a man can go
When his back's against the wall
I'll be grovelin' in the gravel
If you make that taxi call
If you're gonna walk, i'm gonna crawl
You're a one man pure gold genuine good ol' girl
You've been waitin' on me to get tired of my neon world
Now the turn you've taken has got me shakin'
It's a heart breakin' wake up call
Now i'm seein' how you see me
And i feel about shoe top tall
If you're gonna walk, i'm gonna crawl
You'll see how low a man can go
When his back's against the wall
I'll be grovelin' in the gravel
If you make that taxi call
If you're gonna walk, i'm gonna crawl
4.Too Far Gone To Leave
(rock killough／larry t. wilson)
(track 8 - time 2：52)
I can't bear to ask the question
When the answer is goodbye
It only adds to my confusion
When you won't tell me why
And as i sit here on this bar stool
Blind but not naive
I'm probably acting like a fool
But i'm too far gone to leave
Too far, too far gone to leave
But i guess that's what i'll do
I can't keep on believin'
That you love for me is true
And though my heart tells my head to stay
My mind says walk away
I'm way on beyond grief
Too far gone to leave
The years with me and nick and christi
Must not mean a thing to you
You just want it over quickly
Without giving us a clue
And as i sit here on this bar stool
With my heart out on my sleeve
I can feel your ridicule
But i'm too far gone to leave
Too far, too far gone to leave
But i guess that's what i'll do
I can't keep on believin'
That you love for me is true
And though my heart tells my head to stay
My mind says walk away
I'm way on beyond grief
Too far gone to leave
I keep hoping for a rerieve
'cause i'm too far gone to leave
5.Paradise From Nine To One
(josh leo／rick bowles／pat bunch)
(track 7 - time 3：41)
Screeching to a halt in front of your house
The front door opened and your momma peeked out
I saw your silhouette brushing your long hair
Any minute now you'd be slipping downstairs
We were rarin' to go and the night was young
It was paradise from nine to one
We had wild streaks and reckless hearts
We came alive when the town got dark
We did a lot of living and loving under the gun
Oh it was paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
We had the whole town bettin' on what we'd do
They'd already seen how i looked at you
We'd hit the ground running for the county line
Cause the band was cranking up about that time
We never missed a beat of that rock 'n roll drum
It was paradise from nine to one
We had wild streaks and reckless hearts
We came alive when the town got dark
We did a lot of living and loving under the gun
Oh it was paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
We'd tear ourselves away 'round about midnight
Steal a few kisses in a patch of moonlight
I knew your daddy waited up till i got you home
But it was paradise from nine to one
We had wild streaks and reckless hearts
We came alive when the town got dark
We did a lot of living and loving under the gun
Oh it was paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
Paradise from nine to one
It was paradise from nine to one
It was paradise from nine to one...
6.Better Call A Preacher
(rick lagneaux／steven d. cohen／sammy kershaw)
(track 6 - time 2：31)
I thought i saw an angel just the other night
Wearin' five inch heels and a dress to tight
Showin' much more than a man should see
Lookin' at her lookin' back at me
My insides were shakin' like i'd caught the flu
Better call a preacher cause a doctor won't do
I'm in love with you honey
I came to testify
Now you're the one for me
I want the world to see
I got nothin' to hide
It's a bad case of lovin' so i'm tellin' you
Better call a preacher cause a docter won't do
Well she started walking toward me from across the room
And my heart was a poundin' and before i knew
She smiled and whispered something in a southern drawl
I started breathin' heavy had to lean against the wall
I stuttered and i muttered like a lovesick fool
Better call a preacher cause a doctor won't do
I'm in love with you honey
I came to testify
Now you're the one for me
I want the world to see
I got nothin' to hide
It's a bad case of lovin' so i'm tellin' you
Better call a preacher cause a docter won't do
I'm in love with you honey
I came to testify
Now you're the one for me
I want the world to see
I got nothin' to hide
It's a bad case of lovin' so i'm tellin' you
Better call a preacher cause a docter won't do i'm in love with
you honey
7.Southbound
(mac mcanally)
(track 5 - time 4：32)
Grease in our hair
Hands in our pockets
We stood and stared
At cars goin' past
We placed our bets
Where they were headed
And held our cigarettes
Like movie stars
Grandmother's hands
Hard from the garden
She had a plan
For me to preach one day
She prayed for rain
She watched and she waited
And never complained
When it did not fall
Southbound
Breezes blowing
This town ain't my home
You can slow me down
But i'm going
If i can turn this road i'm on
Southbound
Stories i tell
Reek of nostalgia
And those that know me well
Have heard 'em all before
How far i've come
Mostly i'm proud of
But where i'm comin' from
Is calling me
Southbound
Breezes blowing
This town ain't my home
You can slow me down
But i'm going
If i can turn this road i'm on
Southbound
You can slow me down
But i'm going
If i can turn this road i'm on
If i can turn this road i'm on
Southbound
Southbound
Breezes blowing
This town ain't my home
You can slow me down
But i'm going
If i can turn this road i'm on
Southbound
8.National Working Woman's Holiday
(roger murrah／pat terry／james dean hicks)
(track 4 - time 3：11)
They oughta' run your picture in a magazine
'cause you're the hardest working woman i've ever seen
If we weren't sinkin' in a river of debt
I'd say, 'quit that job and let 'em do it theirself'
I know we're depending on every dime
But i'm tired of you working that overtime
I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this friday
For the national working woman's holiday
Honey i can tell you're feeling the strain
You deserve a break from that ball and chain
If the union won't say it, then it's up to me
They're just taking advantage of your loyalty
Everybody likes a little time and a half
But we both know you're worth more than that
I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this friday
For the national working woman's holiday
I'll call in sick
And i'll be telling the truth
'cause i'm sick and tired
Of how they're treating you
I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this friday
For the national working woman's holiday
I'm gonna tell somebody
There ought to be a law against working that way
Tell 'em you're taking off this friday
For the national working woman's holiday
9.If You Ever Come This Way Again
(dean dillon／donny kees)
(track 3 - time 3：20)
I sure do hate to see you go
It's been a blast, glad i got to know you
Ain't everyday a smile like yours comes along
You've done more in such a short time
To soothe my heart and ease my mind
And i'm sure gonna miss you when you're gone
If you ever come this way again
I'll be disappointed if you don't drop in
Maybe next time all the good times
Won't have to end
If you ever come this way again
There's your plane, have a good flight
Roll with the flow in your nine to five life
While i'm rockin' in the arms of this old boat of mine
And every time i hoist the sails
I'll toast the wind and wish you well
And think back to the sunset in your eyes
If you ever come this way again
I'll be disappointed if you don't drop in
Maybe next time all the good times
Won't have to end
If you ever come this way again
If you ever come this way again
If you ever come this way again
10.Third Rate Romance
(russell smith)
(track 2 - time 3：23)
Sittin' in a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant
She was starin' at her coffee cup
He was tryin' to keep his courage up
By applyin' booze
And talk was small when they talked at all
They both knew what they wanted
There was no need to talk about it
They were old enough to scope it out
And keep it loose
She said, 'you don't look like my type
But i guess you'll do'
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, 'i'll even tell you that i love you
If you want me to'
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
When they left the bar
They got in his car
And they drove away
He drove to the family inn
She didn't even have to pretend
She didn't know what for
And he went to the desk
And made his request
While she waited outside
Then he came back with the key
She said, 'give it to me
And i'll unlock the door'
She kept saying
'i've never really done this kind of thing before, have you'
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, 'yes i have
But only a time or two'
Third rate romance
Low rent redezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
11.Feelin' Good Train
(mike lawler／al anderson)
(track 1 - time 3：37)
All aboard
The feelin' good train
It's a long way from here to heaven
It takes a lifetime before you get in
You work so hard just tryin' to make a livin'
Still you wind up on the losin' end
Everybody needs a little sunshine
Forget your troubles leave 'em all behind
I know a place where they're feelin' no pain
So get on board the feelin' good train
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Hear the whistle blowin' 'round the bend
We don't want to leave the station without you
You'll have the best time that you'll ever spend
Everybody need some time to unwind
Dance all those blues right out of your mind
And there's a place where you can run from the rain
So get on board the feelin' good train
This train runs all across the country
This trail rolls all around the world
You don't even need to buy a ticket
So c'mon every man, woman, boy or girl
Everybody needs a little sunshine
Forget your troubles leave 'em all behind
I know a place where they're feelin' no pain
So get on board the feelin' good train
Feelin' good train
Feelin' good train
Feelin' good train
Feelin' good train
