1.How Do I Live

''
Lyrics:Diane Warren
Music:Diane Warren

How do I get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be
Oh and I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now.

Chorus:
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I
Oh how do I live

Without you there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, baby I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now

If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby don't you know that you're everything good in my life
And tell me now

Repeat Chorus

Without you


me,
life?


2.The Song Remembers When

Lyrics:Hugh Prestwood
Music:Hugh Prestwood

I was standing at the counter
I was waitin' for the change
When I heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

After taking every detour
Gettin' lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I could not find my way back
After drivin' out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I'd forgotten all about us
The song remembers when

We were rollin' through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a God in Heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were headed straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And though I have forgotten all about us
The song remembers when

I guess something must have happened
And we must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though I can't recall just why
The song remembers when

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on earth you are

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
Around corners I have turned
Still I guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again
For even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when
Yeah, even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when


3.Wrong Side Of Memphis

Written:Matraca Berg/Gary Harrison

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

No turnin' back, I've come too far
I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland that's a fact
And I ain't driving no pink Cadillac

Chorus:
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
Ain't gotta single thing to lose

I've had this dream from a tender age
Callin' my name on the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I'll be there

Repeat Chorus


4.In Another's Eyes

Written:Bobby Wood/John Peppard/Garth Brooks
Vocal:Trisha Yearwood/Garth Brooks

In another's eyes
I'm someone who
Loves her enough to walk away from you
I'd never cheat, I'd never lie
In another's eyes

In another's eyes
I can do no wrong
He believes in me and his faith is strong
I'd never fall or even compromise
In another's eyes

Chorus:
In another's eyes
I'm afraid that I can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And I pray they never do
'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you in another's eyes

In another's eyes starin' back at me
I see a sinking soul trying desperately
To turn the tide before it dies
In another's eyes

And what they don't see is killing me
And it's a blessing and a curse that love is blind

Repeat Chorus


5.The Woman Before Me

Lyrics:Jude Johnstone
Music:Jude Johnstone

I can see you turn away
When I ask what for
You say it isn't anything
But I'm not sure

Something underneath the skin
Won't let you be
And you try to keep it in
But I can see

Chorus:
The woman before me
Must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes
I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talkin' to
The woman before me and you

Sometimes in an argument
It will show
When you go a little farther than
You meant to go

I know you don't mean the things
That you say
I just wanna ease the pain
That's in your way

Repeat Chorus

If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Don't let them keep us apart
You ought to know you've got nothing to fear
Here in my heart

'Cause you and I will never be
Like the past
Whatever kind of memories
That you have

Nothin's gonna hurt you now
Can't you see
I already made a vow
That I can keep

Repeat Chorus


6.Perfect Love

Written:Stephony Smith/Sunny Russ

Sunday mornin' when the paper comes
Let's read it front to back and see what's going on
Drink our coffee by the flower bed and talk about the stuff
That's running through our heads
When you look at me the way you do
I can't help but look right back at you

Chorus
Yeah, this is a perfect love
We're doin' nothin' but what a perfect love does
We're not tryin' to make history
It's just you and me in a perfect love

Hey let's drive to the edge of town
See what there is to see and then turn back around
Stop by and see your mom and dad
And hear 'em talk about the busy week they had
Then let's take a walk beside the lake
See what kind'a fun we can make

Repeat Chorus

(Oh) ain't it a perfect love
I know you love me just because

Repeat Chorus:


7.Thinkin' About You

Lyrics:Bob Regan/Tom Shapiro
Music:Bob Regan/Tom Shapiro

I'm not quite sure what's goin' on
But all day through and all night long
I've been thinkin' about you
I've been thinkin' about you

The look in your eyes when you smile that way
The sound of your voice sayin' my name
I've been thinkin' about you
Just keep thinkin' about you

Chorus:
This single minded fascination I've got
Do you call it love if you don't then what
All I know is I don't know what you've done
And this train of thought
Ain't about to jump the track that it's on

In the back of my mind there's a secret place
But the whole world knows by the smile on my face
That I've been thinkin' about you
Can't stop thinkin' about you

Repeat Chorus

I know it's crazy callin' you this late
When the only thing I wanted to say is

I've been thinkin' about you
Just keep thinkin' about you
I Can't stop thinkin' about you
I'm always thinkin' about you
And I do love thinkin' about you


8.Down On My Knees

Lyrics:Beth Neilsen Chapman
Music:Beth Neilsen Chapman

Sometimes you wonder how much I care
I get so distracted runnin' nowhere
And I take for granted our love is secure
But if I started losin' you, one thing is sure

Chorus:
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

I learned to be strong a long time ago
And I can face any wind no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger than I want to be
If I had to live without you loving me

Repeat Chorus

No one matters more in my life
Or makes me feel like you make me feel inside
And I've come far enough to know
Love's worth never letting go of
And love is not a matter of pride

Repeat Chorus


9.She's In Love With The Boy

Lyrics:John Ims
Music:John Ims

Katie's sittin' on the old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
In this one-horse town
Over yonder comin' up the road
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy is layin' on the horn
Splashin' through the mud and the muck

Chorus:
Her Daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday

Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holdin' on to one another
To even care about the show
Later on outside the Tastee Freeze
Tommy slips somethin' on her hand
He says my high school ring will have to do
Til I can buy a wedding band

Repeat Chorus

Her Daddy's waitin' up til half past twelve
When they come sneakin' up the walk
He says young lady get on up to your room
While me and Junior have a talk
Mama breaks in, says don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plow boy
Who didn't have a row to hoe

My Daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains you got the short end of the stick
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday


10.Walkaway Joe

Written:Vince Melamed/Greg Barnhill

Mama told her baby, girl take it real slow
Girl told her mama hey I really gotta go
He's waitin' in the car
Mama said girl you won't get far
Thus are the dreams of an average Jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh if she could've only seen
The fate's got cards that it don't want to show
And that boy's just a...

Chorus:
Walkaway Joe
Born to be a leaver
Tell you from the word go, destined to deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy's just a walkaway Joe

Now just a little while into Abilene
Pulls into a station and he robs it clean
She's waitin' in the car
Underneath the Texaco star
She only wanted love didn't bargain for this
She can't help but love him for the way he is
She's only seventeen
And there ain't no reasoning
So she'll ride this ride as far as it can go
'Cause that boy's just a...

Repeat Chorus

Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence she wakes up too soon
And reaches for his arm
But she'll just keep reachin' on
For the cold hard truth revealed what it had known
That boy's just a...

Repeat Chorus


11.XXX's And OOO's(An American Girl)

Written:Alice Randall/Matraca Berg

Phone rings baby cries TV diet guru lies
Good mornin' honey
Go to work make up try to keep the balance up
Between love and money

Chorus:
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl

Slow dance second chance mama needs romance
And a live-in maid
Fix the sink mow the yard really isn't all that hard
If you get paid

Repeat Chorus

Well she's got her God and she's got good wine
Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline
Repeat Chorus


12.Like We Never Had A Broken Heart

Lyrics:Garth Brooks/Pat Alger
Music:Garth Brooks/Pat Alger

Don't be afraid to hold me tight
You know I won't break in two
What we're doin' here tonight
Sure beats what we're goin' through

We've both loved and lost before
You know the sadness it can bring
Tonight let's close the door
And hold onto the nearest thing

Chorus:
Let's keep hangin' on
So we won't fall apart
Let's make love tonight
Like we never had a broken heart

Don't be afraid to close your eyes
Pretend I'm someone that you love
And I won't have to tell you lies
'Cause it's not you I'm thinkin' of

Repeat Chorus

Tonight we'll just pretend
We've been in love right from the start
Let's make love again
Like we never had a broken heart

Let's make love again
Like we never had a broken heart
Don't be afraid to close your eyes
