1.Lyin In Your Lovin' Arms Again


2.Loving You Could Never Be Better

Here we are again tonight alone just us two
Where the lights're dim and true love is coming through
There's no one else in this whole world as far as we're
concerned
We built ourselves a fire so let it burn
Tomorrow night we'll meet again to once more fan the flame
Cause loving you the way I do stays the same
This love of ours is just as strong as any vow could be
And love could never be better for you and me
When you look at me like you do right now I go to pieces
Because I know what's on your mind it's just me
You've got that love-me-look in your eyes like you've had so
many time and how
Loving you could never be better than it is right now
You've got that love-me-look...
Loving you could never be better than it is right now


3.Somebody Buy This Cowgirl A Beer


4.Someday Soon

There's a young men that a know
His age is 21
He comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service
And he's looking for his fun
Someday soon going with him someday soon

My parents cannot stand him
Cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me crying
I would follow him right down
The roughest road I know
Someday soon going with him someday soon

And when he comes to calm
My pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess its cause he was just as wild
In his younger days

So blow you ol' blue northern
Blow my love to me
He's drivin' in tonight from California
He loves his darn ol' rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon going with him someday soon

Solo

And when he comes to calm
My pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess its cause he was just as wild
In his younger days

So blow you ol' blue northern
Blow my love to me
He's drivin' in tonight from California
He loves his darn ol' rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon going with him someday soon


5.This Thing Called Love


6.I'm The Singer, You're The Song

I'm the singer you're the song you write the words I'll sing
along
We're gonna make it to the top and baby we won't stop
I know a young boy who's strong
I'm the stars you're the sky close together we'll get by
We won't hear a word they say we'll just do it our way
And I know we'll show 'em all someday

So I say come and love me now
I don't know that you can show me how
And I say be my love tonight
It feels so good I know it must be right
It's just gotta be right

Is this a dream is this for real they'll never know how high I
feel
Aint had much time to look around but I know I've found
A place in space where I belong I'm the singer you're the song

So I say come and love me now...
So I say come and love me now...
I'm the singer you're the song


7.It's Only Over For You

Lyricist:Rory Bourke, Mike Reid

Somehow I knew I'd see you tonight
Here in our old rendezvous
I'm at the mercy of old memories
You've got your somebody new

You may wonder why I keep coming by
With this heart so broken in two
Any fool can see with one look at me
That it's only over for you

It's only over for you
No, I'm not the one you found somebody new
You can go on believing we're through
Ooh, but it's only over, it's only over for you

As I watch you falling in love
You can't see me falling apart
And even though you hurt me I know
I still love you with all of my heart

But I won't hide my face in a stranger's embrace
When we dance into each other's view
No, don't be surprised at these tears in my eyes
'Cause it's only over for you

It's only over for you
No, I'm not the one you found somebody new
You can go on believing we're through
Ooh, but it's only over, it's only over for you
Oh, it's only over, it's only over for you


8.Pride Of Franklin County

Lyricist:Barbara Keith, Doug Tibbles

All through school he did real well
Got a good job in the sawmill, yeah
But he wanted more so he went away
As he stepped on board the 802
He could hear his daddy say

'Listen to the big bell a ringin' on the hillside
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
And you're the pride of Franklin County
Don't you leave your natural home' Oh, yeah

A small town kid with the big city blues
A yearnin' heart and taped up shoes, yeah
He wanted more so he went astray
Took a gun and he stole a car and he was on his way

Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
I hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high, high
Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
But the pride of Franklin County's gonna make it on his own

Well, he got tough, Lord, he was hard, yeah
He robbed a bank, oh, he didn't see the guard
The guard shot him down and as he lay there dyin'
People gathered 'round and they swore they heard him say

'Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck's got a heart of stone
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home'

Listen to the big bell ringin' on the hillside
Hear the town choir singin', oh, so sweet and high
Lady Luck, she have a heart of stone
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home, yeah
Now the pride of Franklin County's goin' home, finally comin'
home


9.Rodeo Girls Don't Cry

get your horse waylem

on the side of the highway
trying to sleep
dreaming of a new love
she knows she can't keep
hes back down the road
3 or 4 rodeos
might have been her dream cowboy
but she'll never know

riding like the wind
feeling so alive
the wind in her hair
and the dust in her eyes
spotlights are turning
night into day
and just for a little while
the pain goes away

cowboys tell them they love them
but their gone by the dawns early light
they come and they go
but the pain never shows
cause rodeo girls don't cry
awwww

she's giving it up
and gone home before
but it felt like a part of her died
no one could know
but the lord up above
rodeo girls don't cry

cowboys tell them they love them
but their gone by the dawns early light
they come and they go
but the pain never shows
cause rodeo girls don't cry
rodeo girls don't cry
i thought everybody knew
rodeo girls don't cry


10.Texas Is As Close As I've Been


11.Tennessee Woman

Lyricist:Jimmy Webb

Lay me down on porch at midnight
Get me high on the southern moonlight
Walk me down by the river star bright
Hold me, my friend, I'm home again

I'm a Tennessee woman
Who's been away from home
I know I don't belong in that city world
Old Smoky Mountains, do you remember me
I'm from Tennessee, I'm just a local girl

Make my bed where the sun can wake me
From my dreams of childhood take me
Where the winds of time can't shake me
Help me unload this weight of the road

I'm a Tennessee woman
I'm a Tennessee woman


12.You've Got Me to Hold on To

Lyricist:Dave Loggins

Don't it make life just a little more special
Knowin' you've got someone who cares
You won't ever have to be lonely
Always has somebody there

Don't it make everything a little bit easier
Knowin' you have someone like me
A hand to take you to the light
When it gets a little bit too dark to see
That's when I like to stop and remind you

You've got me to hold on to, baby
(You've got me to hold on to, you've got me)
Oh, you've got me to hold on to
(You've got me to hold on to, you've got me)

Yes, and don't it make every chance worth taking
Even when you try and fail
Don't it make all the pain worth aching
Look around and find somebody there

Oh, and don't it make everything a little bit easier
Knowin' you have someone like me
A hand to take you to the light
When it gets a little bit too dark to see
That's when I like to stop and remind you

You've got me to hold on to, baby
(You've got me to hold on to, you've got me)
Oh, you've got me to hold on to
(You've got me to hold on to, you've got me)
I've got you, I've got you

High and low, happy or sad
You know I'm gonna be right there
Sharin' your smiles, dryin' your eyes
Anytime and anywhere

'Cause you've got me to hold on to
(You've got me to hold on to, you've got me to hold on to)
Oh, you've got me to hold on to, baby
(You've got me to hold on to, you've got me to hold on to)

Oh, you've got me to hold on to, honey
(You've got me to hold on to, you've got me to hold on to)
You've got me
(You've got me to hold )


13.Can I See You Tonight

Lyricist:Deborah Allen, Rafe G. Van Hoy

I don't know where to start now that we're fallen apart
How can we talk heart to heart you're so far away what can I say
I've tried to understand but things got so out of hand
Held out as long as I can now I'm on the telephone saying

'Can I see you tonight?
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Everything will be right
It could be love if we make it'

Now that we're on the line I'll tell you what's on my mind
The love that we're trying to hide well, it's suffering from too
much pride
When will we see the end to this game where nobody wins?
'Cause as long as nobody gives in it will go on and on and on

Can I see you tonight?
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Everything will be right
It could be love if we make it

Instead of breaking up
Instead of breaking up

Can I see you tonight?
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Everything will be right
It could be love if we make it

Can I see you tonight?
Just think of the time that we're wasting
Baby, everything will be right
It could be love if we make it


14.What Do I Do With Me

(David Chamberlain/Royce Porter/L. David Lewis)

What do I do now that I'm all alone
What we did together beats anything I've done alone
Since the day that you left
I've been asking myself
Is this how it's gonna be
Without you what do I do with me

I don't wanna go out but I just can't stay home
I don't need company but I sure don't wanna be alone,
And to tell myself that I'm doing well is only making believe
Without you what do I do with me

Without you where do I go
Where do I turn
I'd sure like to know
What do I do with all of our things,
And how do I spend all this time on my hands
I've tried everything I've been racking my brain
It must be as bad as it seems,
Without you, what do I do with me

Without you where do I go
Where do I turn
I'd sure like to know
What do I do with all of our things,
And how do I spend all this time on my hands
I've tried everything I've been racking my brain
It must be as bad as it seems,
Without you, what do I do with me

Without you, what do I do with me.


15.It's A Little Too Late

Lyricist:Roger Murrah, Pat Terry

Well, I was up all night, well, wonderin' what to do
Thinkin' that I oughta just forget about you
But it's a little too late, well it's a little too late
When you walked in, I shoulda walked out
But it's a little too late to do the right thing now

Well, the whole town told me you're a heartbreak king
Guess, I oughta pay attention when they say those things
But it's a little too late, well, it's a little too late
I know all my old buddies wanna help me out
But it's a little too late to do the right thing now

Turn the jukebox up, throw some sawdust down
I'm too far gone to turn this heart around
I may be wrong but I don't want out
Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now

Turn the jukebox up and throw some sawdust down
I'm too far gone to turn this heart around
I may be wrong but I don't want out
Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now

I was up all night, well, wonderin' what to do
Thinkin' that I oughta just forget about you
But it's a little too late, well, it's a little too late
When you walked in, I shoulda walked out
But it's a little too late to do the right thing now
I may be wrong but I don't want out
Well, it's a little too late to do the right thing now


16.Two Sparrows In A Hurricane

Lyricist:Mark Alan Springer

She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart
It's just a matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Are trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything

They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it
Love says they will

There's a baby crying and one more on the way
There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills they can't
pay
The clouds are dark and the wind is high
But they can see the other side

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything

They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it
Love says they will

She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart
It's just a matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything

They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it
And love says they will


17.You Just Watch Me

Lyricist:Richard Giles, Robert Joseph Regan

You just watch me, baby
One of these breathless nights
I'm gonna steal your heart
And make you mine

You're gonna say you want me
Beg me to never leave
If you don't think so
Then you just watch me

When you see me comin'
Ain't no use runnin'

I'll be the dream that haunts you
And when the dawn is upon you
I'll be the only light you'll see
You just watch me

You just watch me, baby
I'm the moon above
A blanket of night comin' down
To wrap you up

Open up your window
Breathe the cool night air
The winds of love, love
Are everywhere

When you see me comin'
Ain't no use runnin'

I'll be the dream that haunts you
And when the dawn is upon you
I'll be the only light you'll see
You just watch me

When you see me comin'
Ain't no use runnin'

I'll be the dream that haunts you
And when the dawn is upon you
I'll be the only light you'll see
You just watch me

When you see me comin'
Ain't no use runnin'

You just watch me
You just watch me, baby
Oh, you just watch me


18.Hangin' In

Lyricist:Stephen Mark Bogard, Richard C Giles

You said goodbye on Tuesday
I figured I would see you by the weekend
I either didn't hear you right
Or maybe this ol' heart just didn't listen

So I'm writing you this letter
I may never send
Wonderin', if you're wonderin'
How I've been

Well, it's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out 'til I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reasons to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out an' hangin' on

Talk about blue Monday
Tomorrow it's a week I've been without you
I haven't gone to work yet
I couldn't do a thing but think about you

But I know that I can make it
Through whatever comes
As long as there is still a chance
To save our love

Well, it's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out 'til I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reasons to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out an' hangin' on

Ohh, it's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out 'til I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reasons to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out an' hangin' on
I'm hangin' in, hangin' out an' hangin' on


19.I'll Take the Memories

Lyricist:Charlie Craig, Keith Stegall

There's a van out in the drive
It's time to divide everything up
We've taken down the bed
Where so many nights we made love

We've gone through everything
And given back the rings
We once cherished
You can take the things you want
And leave the things you don't
But as for me

I'll take the memories
You can have the rest
Well, I know we've had some bad times
But our good times were the best

There's, oh, so many keepsakes
After all that we've been through
But I'll take the memories
If I can't have you

I don't know just what I'll do
I've been so used to loving you
Such a long time and even though I'll try
There's no way that I'll get you off my mind

So while we're packing up our lives
And saying our goodbyes, I won't tell you
You can take the things you want
And leave the things you don't
But as for me

I'll take the memories
You can have the rest
I know we had some bad times
But our good times were the best

There's so many keepsakes
After all that we've been through
Yes, I'll take the memories
If I can't have you


20.Ridin' Out The Heartache

Lyricist:Cathy Majeski, Sunny Russ, Stephony E. Smith

Sixty-six Chevrolet
Windshield full of rain
Four wheels that I can trust
To take me outta here

Truck stop in Buffalo
Fueled up and food to go
One lonely trucker
Said he had to bend my ear

Hey there, where you headed?
I told him, I don't really know

I'm just ridin' out the heartache
It's doesn't matter how long it takes
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
From gettin' his memory outta my mind

And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Oh, but until that day
I'm ridin' out the heartache

No need to read the signs
Not keepin' track of time
Maybe a new direction's
Gonna change my luck

Turned around and heard south
Feel a little better now
Seems like those old gray clouds
They may be breakin' up

He was my only reason
The one thing keepin' me around

I'm just ridin' out the heartache
It's doesn't matter how long it takes
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
From gettin' his memory outta my mind

And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Oh, but until that day
I'm ridin' out the heartache

I'm just ridin' out the heartache
It's doesn't matter how long it takes
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
From gettin' his memory outta my mind

And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Oh, but until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache
Until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache
Until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache, ridin' on


21.It Hurts Like Love

Lyricist:Deborah Allen, Charles Harmon Jones

It sure felt like forever
When we were together
Imagine my surprise

When you told me It was over
Threw your coat over your shoulder
And walked out of my life

You said that it was just infatuation
Somethin' I'd get over soon enough

But it hurts like love and it feels like heartache
You were here in my arms and then you were gone
And now it's just too late

It's a cryin' shame, after all of this pain
I'm still not sure just what it was
But it hurts like love

I don't know how it happened
I gave it all my passion
Believing it was real

I was sure that it could save you
But all it ever gave you
Was this emptiness I feel

I know that it's only an illusion
But every night that I don't feel your touch

It hurts like love and it feels like heartache
You were here in my arms and then you were gone
And now it's just too late

It's a cryin' shame, after all of this pain
I'm still not sure just what it was
But it hurts like love

You know
I'm still not sure just what it was
But it hurts like love
