1.Hand Of Fate
(michael lunn/michael noble)
She was a waitress down in new orleans
She had a broken past
He worked the oil rigs over in corpus
Out on a weekend pass
He sat down at the end of the counter at the little cafe
They weren't looking but they found each other
Or did love find them either way
Tell me who is dealin' up the hand of fate
Is it true, love is always worth the wait
And it's never too late. it's never too late
She lived her whole life in sault saint marie
Working at the five and dime
He was a drifter headin' out of toronto
Just killin' time
Their eyes met and they fell together and in just one night
Two people who swore they'd never
Fell in love in those harbor lights
Tell me who is dealin' up the hand of fate
Is it true, love is always worth the wait
And it's never too late. it's never too late
You may call it destiny but there's a rhyme and a reason we
can't see
When you're down and lonely and about to give up
Have a little faith and believe in love
Tell me who is dealin' up the hand of fate
Is it true, love is always worth the wait
And it's never too late. it's never too late
2.Whatever Comes First
(walt aldridge/brad crisler/drew womack)
Everyone says it's no big deal
Nothin' a little more time won't heal
Sooner or later the way i fell will change
But they never hurt the way i do
'cause they never had to get over you
So they never shared my point of view of the pain
I've either gotta leave the past behind
Or find myself a way to lose my mind
I'm ready for a change of any kind
For better or worse
I'll take whatever comes first
There's only so much a man can take
Before his reality starts to break
Especially holdin' an old heartache like you
Somebody's leavin' i don't care who
But there's not enough room in my mind for two
It's finally come down to me or you
I've either gotta leave the past behind
Or find myself a way to lose my mind
I'm ready for a change of any kind
For better or worse
I'll take whatever comes first
I've either gotta leave the past behind
Or find myself a way to lose my mind
I'm ready for a change of any kind
For better or worse
I'd do anything, go anywhere
Show me some way out and girl i'm there
It's gotten to the point where i don't care
Blessing or curse
I'll take whatever comes first
3.Leaving October
(drew womack/tom douglas)
The autumn leaves they rush outside my window
Like they've got something so important they must do
Sara will be home now any minute
She likes her third grade teacher and looks
So much like you
I struck a match to light the furnace in the hallway
I could smell the summer dust burning in the vent
It's just another thing that brings
Your memory back to me
I think that sara knows i'm troubled
By that scent, she reads my mind
I'm just fine 'til the end of september
Then i remember losing you october '89
If i live in the past, there's no future
I'm looking forward to leaving october behind
There's a girl i really like down at the office
Me and sara asked her out for new year's eve
It made me cry when i told her all about us
But sara says there's nothing wrong with me
It just takes time
I'm just fine 'til the end of september
Then i remember losing you october '89
If i live in the past, there's no future
I'm looking forward to leaving october behind
All things work for good
Has become my favorite verse
Sara told me that they would
But when the nights get cold
And the leaves turn rust and gold
That's when your memory hurts
I'm just fine 'til the end of september
Then i remember losing you october '89
If i live in the past, there's no future
I'm looking forward to leaving october behind
4.Bring On The Angel
(drew womack/jack blade/vinx)
You could say i never liked the square life
You could blame it on my circle of friends
It's just been me, jack d., jimmy b. and johnny walker red
Thought of raising my standard of living
'cause you know it's never mattered to me
If i was sleeping it off in a ford or gmc
All along i knew there was something missing
Or maybe that something is someone
To fill this hole in my heart
Bring on the angel, bring on true love
I've been fooled by the devil
But lord i'm listening now
It's not that i didn't have love in my life
I had a different love every night
And it's not that it didn't feel good
I just didn't feel right
And all along there was something i've been wishing
That i'd find my certain someone
To fill this hole in my heart
Bring on the angel, bring on true love
I've been fooled by the devil
But lord i'm listening now
I know i haven't stayed in touch
But if it's not asking for too much
Bring on my angel
Bring on the angel, bring on true love
I've been fooled by the devil
But lord i'm listening now
Bring on the angel, bring on true love
I've been fooled by the devil
But lord i'm listening now
5.You Can Come Cryin' To Me
(radney foster)
I can tell by the trail of tears that's there on your sleeve
That your only souvenir is a pain that won't leave
All he left behind are the lies he told you
Now the arms of your favorite chair are all that hold you
Baby you can't go to him no more
Cry on his shoulder; baby that's over
You can't hide inside his arms
He won't let you; baby i bet ya
Need someone to dry away your tears
Baby you can come cryin' to me
Anytime
I can tell by the way you're shakin' and the crack of your voice
That you feel as if this aching is your only choice
You think broken hearts last forever
But i know that i can mend what has been severed
Baby you can't go to him no more
Cry on his shoulder; baby that's over
You can't hide inside his arms
He won't let you; baby i bet ya
Need someone to dry away your tears
Baby you can come cryin' to me
Anytime
6.Colorado
(drew womack)
Colorado's just to cold
You see i'm a gulf coast boy by heart
It's in my blood
Where i left my soul
The pain all started way back when
I lost faith in us again
Pulled up my roots
And replanted them in paradise
Where my life has gone to hell
Life was fine, back home, back then
And i could blame it on the state i'm in
Colorado's just to perfect
To be this hell i've run to
To get away from you
These white-capped mountains and deep blue skies
I can't admire through these shallow brown eyes
It can't be done
Without you life ain't no fun
Precious gifts i take for granted
I started with you now this place i'm planted is bringing me
down
Girl, i'm all peaked out in paradise
Where my life has gone to hell
Life was fine, back home, back then
So i blame it on the state i'm in
Colorado's just too perfect
To be this hell i've run to
To get away from you
Life was fine, back home, back then
And i could blame it on the state i'm in
Colorado's just to perfect
To be this hell i've run to
To get away from you
7.When It's Right
(drew womack/steve pippin/chris lindsey)
I used to be a really sensible guy
I had a plan i was in control
Then love came and changed my mind
Not to mention my heart
Not to mention my soul
When you're dealin' with a thing like love
You're dealin' with unseen forces
Just when you think that you're safe enough
You get carried away by wild, wild horses
When it's right
Nobody has to tell you, you just know
When it's right
When it's right in front of you just let go
Her heart will never have to think twice
When it's right
You wanna know how true love feels
You wanna be a big romancer
You wanna know if your love is real
Well, if you have to ask then there's your answer
When it's right
Nobody has to tell you, you just know
When it's right
When it's right in front of you just let go
Her heart will never have to think twice
When it's right
There's somebody for everybody, i believe it's true
When you see the signals and you feel the heartbeats
You'll know what to say and do
When it's right
Nobody has to tell you, you just know
When it's right
When it's right in front of you just let go
Her heart will never have to think twice
When it's right
8.Promises
(steve pippin/drew womack/pat mcdonald)
Promises hung out on the line
Sparkle and shine in the daylight
Promises and little vows unspoken
All too soon lie broken it he arms of the night
I promised myself i would never fall again
Vowed to my soul not to trust in love, but then you delivered
You promised me honesty and your word was good
And you came through on everything you said you would
You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less
And all you kept were your promises
Promises, sometimes hearts need proof
It's hard to tell the truth when you hear it
Promises, girl when they come from you
They breathe new life into my lonely spirit
You promised your love would be all i ever need
For once in my life there's a reason to believe in forever
You promised me honesty and your word was good
And you came through on everything you said you would
You gave your heart, you gave your all and nothing less
And all you kept were your promises
And the only thing you kept, were your
Promises, hung out on the line
Sparkle and shine in the daylight
9.Drive Away
(phil vassar/charlie f. black)
Things are too simple, things are too hard
Nobody's happy with the way things are
Looking for the quick fix, the short term loan
Got to rent 'cause you might not be here long enough to own
Well, the way i see it the trouble with the world these days
It's gettin' way to easy just to drive away
With you and me baby it's up and down
We're moving the earth or we're on shaky ground
We talk about forever when it's all going smooth
Or moving out tomorrow it things don't improve
Well, the way i see it the trouble with love these days
It's getting way too easy just to drive away
Because you can drive away
If you've got half a mind to and half a tank you can
Drive away
First sign of trouble first little thing goes wrong
You can climb in your car and drive till you're gone
Whatever we've got it's worth the risk
To read a little promise into every kiss
You pay for the music but you do get to dance
When you love somebody it's not that big a chance
Well the way i see it we've got every reason to stay
And every reason to go together if we drive away
We can drive away
If we need to start again, baby that's okay, we can
Drive away
Till we find that place where we can live on faith
That we'll never again have to drive away
10.Devil On Both Shoulders
(drew womack)
She loves to love me
I love it when she does
When we get together
I feel a bit corrupt
When she feels the yearnin'
I just let her go
And we're off to somewhere
Way out of control
I've got a devil on both of my shoulders
When that angel's in my arms
She sets me free when i get to hold her
She lights a fire in my heart
My self-control is at an all-time low
When i hear a voice sayin' way to go
In stereo
I got a devil on both of my shoulders
I know it oughta be illegal
For us to have this much fun
And i know my choice between good and evil
But there's a devil on both of my shoulders
I've got a devil on both of my shoulders
When that angel's in my arms
She sets me free when i get to hold her
She lights a fire in my heart
My self-control is at an all-time low
When i hear a voice sayin' way to go
In stereo
I got a devil on both of my shoulders
Caught in the middle of the powers that be
When i feel my
Conscience gangin' up on me
I've got a devil on both of my shoulders
When that angel's in my arms
She sets me free when i get to hold her
She lights a fire in my heart
My self-control is at an all-time low
When i hear a voice sayin' way to go
In stereo
I got a devil on both of my shoulders
11.Burned In My Mind
(drew womack)
It's about time you came around
I'm still trying to figure out
What's so good about
This life you found
Yes, i'm doing fine now
But i'm still trying to figure out
Just when i lost you
Where and how
But it's tried and it's true
And there's nothing i can do
But make it through everyday
Johnny walker's on the table
He tends to soothe since you're unable
Day after day, after day
Johnny's walking all over me
Slowly gaining control
Of my destiny
But it's tried and it's true
And there's nothing i can do
But make it through everyday
You make the pain go away
When you say
You still love me
You warm the chill that's in my heart
When you start
With the stories of yesteryear
When you were here
I don't know why i can't let go
I'd like to say goodbye
But you're burned in my mind
You're burned in my mind
But it's tried and it's true
And there's nothing i can do
But make it through everyday
Well it's about time you came around
I'm still trying to figure out
What's so good about this life you've found
You make the pain go away
When you say you still love me
You warm the chill that's in my heart
When you start with the stories of yesteryear
When you were here
I don't know why i can't let you go
I'd like to say goodbye
But you're burned in my mind
You're burned in my mind...
