1.Wait a Minute
Lyricist：Rodney Crowell, Hank Devito
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I just need a little time
I can't get myself together, give me half the chance
Baby to collect my mind
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I need a little room to breathe
Slow down, slow down, we can turn it around
Baby you don't have to leave
I just wanna call a time out, baby
Things are moving way too fast
I've been having trouble keeping up with you
I don't think I'm gonna last
I love you like there's no tomorrow
But I gotta make it through today
So have a little patience with the shape I'm in
You don't have to throw it all away
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I just need a little time
I can't get myself together, give me half the chance
Baby to collect my mind
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I need a little room to breathe
Slow down, slow down, we can turn it around
Baby you don't have to leave
And everything about this love we share
There's something that I can't explain
And every time I think I'll get somewhere
The road comes out from under and I'm going down the drain
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I just need a little time
I can't get myself together, give me half the chance
Baby to collect my mind
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I need a little room to breathe
Slow down, slow down, we can turn it around
Baby you don't have to leave
Slow down, slow down, we can turn it around
Baby you don't have to leave
2.On the Road to Ruin
Lyricist：Rodney Crowell
Strange woman, strange bed
Thor's hammer poundin' in my head
Six straight double shots of high-grade single malt
And my mouth is tastin' dryer than table salt
Yeah, but I know what I'm doin'
I'm on the road to ruin
Monday mornin' last Friday night
Well I had the feelin' everything was alright
Here I am in trouble with the love of my life
Hopin' she don't cut me with no butcher knife
I got brownie points a-cruin'
I'm on the road to ruin
Sun blindin', teeth grindin'
Ears burnin', stomach turnin'
Well, summer's commin' and the winter's gone
Here I am still sleepin' with my blue jeans on
Well I had it goin' till I lost my job
Now I'm out here casin' out some joint to rob
Baby's needin' shooin'
I'm on the road to ruin
Sirens blarin', neighbors starin'
Judge's gavel well, I come unraveled
Well, I've been rollin' downhill since I was ten
My Les Paul livings going to do me in
I can't get this roller-coaster rifle to a stop
'Cause when I hit the bottom I'm right back on top
Big ideas a-brewin'
Well I'm on the road to ruin
3.Dangerous Curves
Lyricist：Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill
I love my wife and that's that
Now I'd best be looking for my hat
Perhaps one drink to calm my nerves
These are dangerous curves
The sober voice inside my head
Says son, 'You're engine's running red'
Ease at the handle till she swerves
On these dangerous curves
She's a lot to me
Why you don't get open man
Don't you know you should go
'Fore the damage is done
I tell myself I'm an alright guy
Sometimes I look but I won't lie
And now she's testing my reserve
She's got dangerous curves
She's a dream so extreme
That you can't get her more
It's the gem you can't win
And she's calling your war
Across the room, I see the door
And I still my feet touch the floor
Last chance to exit unobserved
Leads to dangerous curves
A mad man gets what he deserves
These are dangerous curves
She's got dangerous curves
You better go on home
She's got dangerous curves
4.Oklahoma Dust
Lyricist：Joe Diffie, Vince Gill, Leslie Winn Satcher
Well, they tell me I sound lonesome, they tell me I sound blue
Like some ol' country boy fresh off the train
Oh, they can hear the hard times and the struggles I've been
through
I just pour my heart out when I sing
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
Got a red-dirt education in that Indian nation
Well, that's Oklahoma dust in my blood
I remember my granddaddy told us all about the land
And the wind that came and blew it all away
Ah, but they just kept on living doing what they had to do
That's the reason I am the way I am today
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
Got a red-dirt education in that Indian nation
Well, that's Oklahoma dust in my blood
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
Got a red-dirt education in that Indian nation
Well, that's Oklahoma dust in my blood
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
That's Oklahoma dust in my blood
Got a red-dirt education in that Indian nation
Well, that's Oklahoma dust in my blood
5.It's Hard to Kiss the Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day
Long
Lyricist：Rodney J Crowell, Vincent Grant Gill
She used to call me baby
I thought she was such a lady
But my how things have changed
Since times moved on
I give her my last dollar
And now all she'll do is holler
Oh, my life has become
A country song
I've learned she can resist me
By the way she always disses me
And comes to bed at night
With that cold cream on
Sometimes I might feel frisky
But these days it's just too risky
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all
day long
All day long, it goes on and on
If a tree fell in the forest
She didn't hear it, would I still be wrong？
I guess I should admit it
She ain't ever gonna quit it
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all
day long
Man, I remember when her eyes used to be so blue and shiny
God, You oughtta see what's happened to her hiney
Her what？ Her hiney
Man that thing is big enough to land a small plane on
Small plane？ I'm tellin' you
I used to roll her in the the clover
But think God those days are over, Hallelujah!
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all
day long
All day long, she knows on and on
If some day they drop the big one
I'd say sweet Jesus, she's gonna finally leave me alone
It's alright if we say it
'Cause the radio won't play it
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all
day long
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all
day long
6.Making Memories of Us
Lyricist：Rodney Crowell
I'm gonna be here for you baby, I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever, I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you
I'll win your trust making memories of us
I wanna honor your mother, I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd to you, a man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
I want to love you, like nobody loves you
I'll win your trust making memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow, wherever before winds blow
There'll be a new day, coming your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on, this you'll know somehow
You've been stretched to the limit, but it's all right now
I'm gonna make you a promise, if there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm wet kiss
I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you
I'll win your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you
I'll earn your trust making memories of us
7.Sweet Little Lisa
Lyricist：Donivan Cowart, Hank Devito
Well, the works whistle blew
At a half past five o'clock
I saw the red light on the corner
But man I never tried to stop
I got pulled over by a man in blue
He said, 'What you thinking you're tryin'a do？'
I told him 'bout my baby
And he let me go, thanks a lot
I got invited to a party
At a high class Hollywood pool
There were women all around
And man, I began to drool
I weighed the evidence in hand
I said, 'Girls you got to understand'
Since I met my, baby
I've been living by the golden rule
Ain't nobody gonna make me shout
Ain't nobody gonna put me out
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Like my sweet little Lisa does
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing
And make me do the wrong damn thing
Sticking my head in a cold, cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa does
I was pulling out of Dallas
Got pulled over by a debutante
And she was playing with her keys
She thought I was acting kinda nonchalant
She said she'd take me up to her room
I've got a sweet sugar mama
Come on give me everything I want
Ain't nobody gonna make me shout
Ain't nobody gonna put me out
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Like my sweet little Lisa does
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing
And make me do the wrong damn thing
Sticking my head in a cold, cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa does
I'm sticking my head in a cold, cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa does
8.Heart of a Jealous Man
Lyricist：Max Duane Barnes, Vince Gill
Oh Lord, what have I done
I never meant to use that gun
I came home early, I found 'em in my bed
I went half crazy and I shot 'em dead
I headed South down to Mexico
The pain's still alive without parole
Well, I got caught down in Birmingham
They put the chains on a jealous man
The Judge said son, you're going down
I'll bury you in the cold, cold ground
No one here can understand
What goes through the heart of a jealous man
Now, when I face on my judgment day
I hope, the law won't turn away
I pay with my life for what I've done
Leave it in the hands of my father's son
Tomorrow morning, I'm goin' down
They'll bury me in the cold, cold ground
I pray, the law will understand
What goes through the heart of a jealous man
I pray, the law will understand
What goes through the heart of a jealous man
9.If I Ever Break Your Heart
Lyricist：Rodney Crowell
You don't know me well
I don't have your heart
I've been under your spell
Right from the start
You don't know how strong
You don't know how true
You don't know how long
I've waited for you
If I ever break your heart
If I ever break your heart
If I ever break your heart
I think I'd die
You were on my mind
You were in my sleep
You were one of a kind
I wanted you deep
I didn't know your name
I've never seen your face
But I knew just the same
I was was saving your place
If I ever break your heart
If I ever break your heart
If I ever break your heart
I think Id die
I don't need nothing
But the clothes on my back
No wind and weather
Gonna throw me off track
No need the riches
Fame and fortune might bring
If you'll hang with me
I don't need anything
Let the sun go down
Gonna be all right
Wanna fill your day
Give the light in your night
If I ever break your heart
if I ever break your heart
If I ever break your heart
I think I'd die
If I ever break your heart
I wouldn't even know where to start
If I ever break your heart
I think I'd die
10.Let It Roll, Let It Ride
Lyricist：Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill
You used to be drop-dead funny
Then you married into all of that money
And I don't have to tell you, man
There's nothing 'bout you seems the same
You tell me that your shoes don't fit
You tell me that the blues won't quit
I love you like a brother
But you only have yourself to blame
Let it roll, let it ride
Come on over to the other side
Let it ride, let it roll
Loosen up before you're too damn old
You've got to let it roll
Lord, let it roll
Now you've been in a funk forever
Man, you've gotta get yourself together
Wake up in the morning
Find a way to leave it all behind
Don't tell me that it ain't no use
That's just another lame excuse
You're headed for the bottom
That's been coming for a long, long time
Let it roll, let it ride
Come on over to the other side
Let it ride, let it roll
Loosen up before you're too damn old
You've got to let it roll
You used to dance a hole in both your socks
Knew every number on the old jukebox
Now everybody 'round here's been a wondering
What's the matter with you
Let it roll, let it ride
Come on over to the other side
Let it ride, let it roll
Loosen up before you're too damn old
Let it roll, let it ride
Bet it all and let the whole thing slide
Let it rock, let it roll
Loosen up before you're too damn old
You've got to let it roll
Oh, let it roll, let it ride
Oh, let the whole thing slide, babe
You've got to let it roll, let it ride
Let it roll, let it ride
Let it roll, let it roll
Ohh, ohh, babe
