1.Big Love
(michael clark／jeff stevens)
You need a man to get lost in
With a heart big enough to roam
No more fences for you to look through
With your heart caught in a strangle hold
I've got a love full of wide open spaces
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
When two hearts make a stand together
On the solid rock of trust
They could be a million miles from each other
And still be side by side in love
I want to love you like that forever
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
You never dreamed you could have all you ever wanted
Darlin' you can have it all with me
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
2.Don't Take Her She's All I Got
(jerry williams／gary u.s. bonds)
Well i said friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
She's everything in life i'll ever need

She's everything in life i'll ever need
She's my fingers when i want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love i know
She could kiss the ground in wintertime
And make a flower grow
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
Please don't take her love away from me

Don't take her she's all i've got

3.Heavin In My Woman's Eyes
(mark nesler)
It's cold this time of year and the people in this city make it
colder
They've all forgotten what it means to lend a hand or cry on a
shoulder
In this land of opportunity we fight like hell to make an extra
dime
It would surely get the best of me without the heaven in my
woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that make life's hell a
better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that gives the inspiration
that i need
Sometimes it seems a man is born to lose no matter how hard he
tries
Life on earth would sure be hell without the heaven in my
woman's eyes
Simplicity was once a way of life but now it's buried with our
past
A dollar used to go a long long way but now it just goes fast
Oh how i wish that i could be as free as our union eagle flies
But the only time i'm free is when i view the heaven in my
woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that make life's hell a
better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that gives the inspiration
that i need
Sometimes it seems a man is born to lose no matter how hard he
tries
Life on earth would sure be hell without the heaven in my
woman's eyes
Life on earth would sure be hell without the heaven in my
woman's eyes
4.Holdin' Heaven
I'm face to face with an angel
How'd you get those eyes so blue
You're a vision in white and i've been waitin' all night
Just to have one dance with you
Now all my dreams are comin' true
Chorus
I'm holdin' heaven in my arms tonight
Everything about you is so perfectly right
I've never been there but i think i might
Be holdin' heaven in my arms tonight
I'm not sure where you came from but i thank my lucky stars
above that i got the chance to have a dance but one dance just
ain't enough i think i'm fallin' in love
(repeat chorus 2x)
I'm holdin' heaven in my arms tonight
5.I'm From The Country
(marty brown／richard young／stan webb)
Way back up in the country, back in the hills
Down in the hollows where the folks are real
Livin' with the crazzies and the old wildcats
Sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps
That's where i'm from and i'm proud to say
I'm from the country and i like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way
All day long we work in the fields
Then bring it on home to a home cooked meal
We love ya like sunday, treat ya like saturday night
And when the bed gets full we can sleep in the hay (hey)
We're from the country and we like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country
We're from the country
We're from the country and we like it that way
6.Lifestyles Of The Not So Rich And Famous
(byron hill／wayne tester)
Honey they're bringin' out a tv crew
They wanna do a story 'bout me and you
They'll be stringin' up bright lights in the backyard
There'll be cameras on their shoulders
We'll be readin' cue cards
Leave them long johns on the line
If the kids look dirty, that'll be just fine
They're gonna put us on
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They wanna see us go hog wild
Over beans and barbecue
They wanna see my fairlane up on blocks
The holes in all our socks
Talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
Tell 'em bout your mama and the bowling league
Tell 'em bout junior and his baseball team
I'll show 'em my nine point buck on the wall
I'll blow a few times on my new duck call
Let 'em see ol' blue how he sleeps all day
We'll bring out the elvis tv trays
They're gonna put us on
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They wanna see us go hog wild
Over beans and barbecue
They wanna see my fairlane up on blocks
The holes in all our socks
Talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
Yeah our idea of high class livin'
Is sittin' on the porch on a cool night
Our champagne and caviar
Is an rc cola and a moon pie
I'm talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
7.Love Lessons
(jerry kilgore／ted hewitt／monty powell／sarah majors)
Don't be afraid darling you can tell me

If you're willing there's time
And if you're so inclined

8.Someone To Give My Love To
I could search from now till the end of time
And never find another you
I'm so glad because i know you're mine
Someone to give my love to
Now i believe my love that you're one of a kind
For there's no one else like you
You're the light of my life so let it shine
Someone to give my love to
Chorus
I found happiness is loving you
And i'll do my best to make your dreams come true
I will follow you to the end of the earth for my place will be
with you i have taken you for better or worse someone to give my
love to
(repeat chorus)
Days of man and wife time are precious few
I will spend them all with you
Then beyond forever i'll wait for you
Someone to give my love to
9.The Keeper Of The Stars
(dickey lee／danny mayo／karen staley)
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now i just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As i look at you tonight
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When i hold you in my arms
I've got all i'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know i don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude
So i tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When i hold you in my arms
I've got all i'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
10.Watermelon Crawl
(buddy brock／zack turner)
I was driving thru georgia in late july
On a day hot enough to make the devil sigh
I saw a homemade sign written in red
Rind county watermelon festival ahead
Well, i wasn't in a hurry so i slowed down
Took a two lane road to a one horse town
There was a party going on when i got there
I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor
He said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
When the band started playing the watermelon queen said
Let me show you something that you ain't never seen
She grabbed me by the arm said come on let's go
She dipped down spun around and doe-see-doed
She rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees
Crawled across the floor then she jumped back on her feet
She wiggled and she giggled beat all you ever saw
Said this is how you do the watermelon crawl
She said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
Well if you're ever down in georgia round about july
If you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by
I can guarantee that you're gonna have a ball
Learning how to do the watermelon crawl
Well we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
Do the watermelon crawl
Have fun you all
Do the watermelon crawl
11.When Mama Ain't Happy
(rick giles／tim nichols／gilles godard)
Ever since monday
I've seen it comin'
When i say what's wrong
She just says nothin'
Well i ain't about to let it go
Cause i've loved her long enough to know
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
I've got a limo waitin' and dinner reservations
A corner table with some candlelight
We're gonna spend some money, i'm gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
I see in those green eyes
Her red-head temper
And she can make july
As cold as december
Well i love her every way she is
But brother i've discovered at times like this
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
I told the babysitter, fix a macaroni dinner
And try to get the kids in bed by nine
We're gonna spend some money, i'm gonna call her honey
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
So daddy's gonna make mama happy tonight
