Vince Gill Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Another You, Another Me

Is it any wonder I hold you so tight?
It's because we never promised
One more day or night
Remember...

There will never be another you, another me
Another life for us to live
To give each other all we give
Time goes by so fast, I wanna make each moment last
I wanna hold you close to me and show you
All our love can be
I won't let go too easily
There will never be another you and me

I know love can hurt us, and love can make us fly
I know I was born to love you
Until the day I die
Believe me...

There will never be another you, another me
Another life for us to live
To give each other all we give
Time goes by so fast, I wanna make each moment last
I wanna hold you close to me and show you
All our love can be
I won't let go too easily
There will never be another you and me


2.Let There Be Peace on Earth

Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth
The peace that was meant to be

With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.

With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me

3.Riding The Rodeo

Driving all night too many miles to go
Pedal to the metal and listen to the radio
I got three days to get from shian to san anton
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo

Well my back sides sore and I'm movin' kinda slow
But when I hit oka city
There's a bull racer I know
Just a little home cookin' and
Some lovin' to ease my bones, yeah

Chorus:

That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo
Ride cowboy ride
Hold on for your life
Eight seconds is a long, long time
When you're sittin' on diamond mines
Well you can't make money
But if you get thrown
That's the life of a cowboy ridin' the rodeo

Well I might be lucky in old san anton
Find a ittle texas gal I can call my own
That lone star lovin' is the best
I've ever known

Chorus

Yeah, that's the life of a cowboy


4.The Radio

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Reed Nielsen

There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
There ain't one magazine that I ain't read
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

Never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
Just goes on and on

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio


5.I Never Knew Lonely

Lyricist:Vince Gill

No other lover really cared
When I reached out for you, you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never know lonely till you

You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never know lonely till you

Never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely till you

I can't make up for the times I've been gone
But I'll prove I'll love you with the words of this song
And back in your arms girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely till you

Never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely till you

Never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely till you


6.The Way Back Home

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

A little girl was crying for her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home

A little boy went walking down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ice cream cone
He never knew the danger of talking to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home

Too many kids are missing, is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes they're all alone

The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home

The faces on milk cartons thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids was your very own
Tonight those kids are weeping while yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find the way back home

Too many kids are missing, is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes they're all alone

The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home
Won't you help the children find
The way back home


7.South Side Oof Dixie

(Vince Gill/Delbert McClinton)

You know I'm about to lose my mind
I got a woman down below the Mason-Dixon line
She deals the cards awful good to me
She's a blackjack dealer on the Delta Queen

On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen

Half a tank north of Birmingham
Red eye gravy and country ham
Chattanooga woman sure is sweet
She's a hillbilly singer from Tennessee

On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen

If you go down south, you're gonna have a ball
You'll go half crazy tryin' to love 'em all
You might get lucky, you can't never tell
With them Georgia peaches and them southern belles

On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
On the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean
On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen


8.Which Bridge to Cross (Which Bridge to Burn)

Lyricist:Bill Anderson, Vince Gill

I've got two lovers in my life now
A true love and one that's brand new
I'm not really sure that I know how
To love one and tell one we're through

I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn

I knew this was wrong, I didn't listen
'Cause a heart only knows what feels right
Oh I need to reach a decision
And get on with the rest of my life

I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn

I can't sleep at night, I toss and I turn
I keep losing sight of lessons I've learned
I'm standing at the crossroads with just one concern
Which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn

Oh which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn


9.White Christmas

Lyricist:Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear the sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white


10.Pocket Full Of Gold (1991)

He slipped the ring off his finger when he walked in the room
And he found him some stranger and promised her the moon
How many lies, you must have told
You think you're a rich man, with your pocket full of gold

For another man's treasure, you'd say anything
But is one night of pleasure worth the trouble you'll bring
Don't look so surprised, cause son I should know
I once was a rich man with my pocket full of gold

Some night you're gonna wind up on the wrong end of a gun
Some jealous guy's gonna show up and you'll pay for what you've
done
What will it say on your tombstone?
Here lies a rich man, with his pocket full of gold
Yeah, here lies a rich man, with his pocket full of gold


11.When I Call Your Name (1990)

I rushed home from work like I always do
I spent my whole day just thinking of you
When I walked through the front door, my whole life was changed
Cause nobody answered when I called your name

A note on the table that told me goodbye
Said you'd grown weary of living a lie
Oh your love has ended, but mine still remains
But nobody answers when I call your name

Oh, the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain, the tears keep falling
But nobody answers when I call your name

Oh, the lonely sound of my voice calling
Is driving me insane
And just like rain, the tears keep falling
But nobody answers when I call your name
Oh, nobody answers when I call your name


12.Oh Girl

Oh girl you know where to find me
Oh girl you know where I'll be
I'll be waitin' at the end of your line
'cause baby I've got nothin' but time
Oh girl you know where to find me

It was love at first glance
I asked you may I have this dance
You said you would I froze right where I stood
I come here every night
Oh there's nobody special in my life
So if you think you'd like to
Find someone to hold you some night

Oh girl you know where to find me
Oh girl you know where I'll be
I'll be waitin' at the end of your line
'cause baby I've got nothin' but time
Oh girl you know where to find me

Oh girl you know where to find me
Oh girl you know where I'll be
I'll be waitin' at the end of your line
'cause baby I've got nothin' but time
Oh girl you know where to find me

Oh girl you know where to find me


13.Go Rest On That Mountain

Lyricist:Vince Gill

I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and Son


14.When Will I Be Loved

Lyricist:Phil Everly

I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved

I've been put down
I've been pushed round
When will I be loved

When I find a new girl
That I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time

I've been made blue
I've been lied too
When will I be loved

When I find a new girl
That I want for mine
She always breaks my heart in two
It happens every time

I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved
When will I be loved
Tell me When will I be loved


15.It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

Lyricist:Edmund Hamilton Sears, Richard Storrs Willis

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

Hear the angels sing


16.From Where I Stand

Lyricist:Al Anderson, Vince Gill, John Hobbs

Oh, I'm drawn to you like a burnin' flame
But somebody's waitin' that bears my name
Oh, Lord knows I'd love to love you
'Cause you know I'm just a man
But I can't, not from where I stand

You see I made a promise when I put on that ring
And I plan to keep it, babe it's a sacred thing
Well, heaven knows I'm tempted
I hope you understand
That I can't, not from where I stand

Oh, from where I stand, there's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand to lose it all
So, I better run while I still can
'Cause I can't babe, not from where I stand
Oh, no, no babe

Oh, from where I stand, there's a golden band
And I swear I couldn't stand to lose it all
So, I better run while I still can
'Cause I can't babe, not from where I stand
No I can't babe, not from where I stand
Yeah, not from where I stand


17.Real Mean Bottle

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

No man ever sounded so lonesome
No man ever made you feel such pain
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you sing that way

The stories you told about prison
About a young man gone astray
Lord, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you write the songs that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
Must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

You spent most all your life with strangers
With a ramblin' fever in your veins
Hag, it must have been a real mean bottle
That made you play the blues that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It's a miracle you're standin' here today
A real mean bottle made you such a rebel
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way

A real mean bottle poured straight from the devil
It must've been a real mean bottle made you sing that way


18.You Ain't Foolin' Nobody

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Reed Nielson

Why don't you come clean, baby?
I know what you're goin' through
You must think I'm some kind of crazy
Well honey, I'm just worried 'bout you

You look so much like your Mama
And I'm sorry for you that she's gone
And if she was here, she would tell you
Don't lose sight of what's right and what's wrong

'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're livin' in this one horse town

Well, I hope your conscience is listening
When you're out, runnin' at night
All it takes is one bad decision
To haunt you the rest of your life

You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're livin' in this one horse town

'Cause you ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause baby, the talk gets around
You ain't foolin' nobody
'Cause you're livin' in this one horse town


19.The Sun's Gonna Shine On You

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Reed Nielson

Well, it ain't hard to see you've got the blues
Come, hold on to me and I'll comfort you
A pretty little angel with a heavy heart
Well, tryin' to carry on is the hardest part

Love will fool you, it'll do you wrong
Shout, 'Hallelujah' when the, the clouds are gone
'Cause you know, pretty baby
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you

Miss that little sparkle one on your face
A pretty little smile that has been replaced
Have a little faith, baby, just be still
'Cause things are gonna be just the way they will

Love will fool you, it'll do you wrong
Shout, 'Hallelujah' when the, the clouds are gone
'Cause you know, pretty baby when you ain't lookin'
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you

Well, love will fool you, it'll do you wrong
Shout, 'Hallelujah' when the, the clouds are gone
'Cause you know, pretty baby
When you ain't lookin' and you ain't ready

The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you

Said the sun, I said
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
Yeah, pretty baby
The sun's gonna shine on you

The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
The sun's gonna shine on you
Have a little faith, baby


20.Two Hearts

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Leslie Satcher

There's a man drinkin' whiskey in a bar room
He's nursin' a broken heart
There's a woman at a table
With her own brand of misery cryin' in the dark

Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?

Oh, there's just a waitress between them
They're so close to finding their dreams
They're just one dance away from easing the pain
Of coming apart at the seams

Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?

Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will somebody lost find someone who's lost?
Will strangers find comfort in the cold neon light?
Will two hearts make one tonight?
Will two hearts make one tonight?


21.Without You

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

Every time I look into the mirror
But I swear that I don't see the things you do
You say it couldn't be any clearer
And all I can see is me without you

Without you trying to change me, without you trying to take me
Turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me, without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you

When you slipped that little ring around my finger
You smiled and said your wilder days are through
Well I've got a real bad case of rambling fever
And all I can see is me without you

Without you trying to change me, without you trying to take me
And turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me, without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you

Without you trying to change me, without you trying to take me
Turn me into someone you once knew
Without you trying to make me, without you trying to break me
All I can see is me without you, all I can see is me without you


22.She Never Makes Me Cry

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

I saw an old lover today on the street
She said, 'Do you remember how we used to be
On fire with that passion, we'd burn down those nights?'
No I haven't forgotten how we used to fight

I finally got married and settled on down
Yeah she's a preachers daughter in a sleepy little town
Does she make you laugh since we said goodbye?
No she ain't that funny but she never makes me cry

She never makes me cry like you used to
There's nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I don't see your face when I look in her eyes
And she never makes me cry

Does she make you beg for her love in the night?
No, she ain't that selfish and she never makes me cry

She never makes me cry like you used to
There's nothing about her that reminds me of you
I promise I don't see your face when I look in her eyes

She never makes me wonder when she's coming home
There's something about her like I've never known
It's been nice to see you but now I must say goodbye
She never makes me cry, she never makes me cry, no, no

She never makes me cry
She never makes me cry


23.Young Man's Town

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

I wake up one morning and it's passed you by
Don't know when and you don't know why
I feel like an old memory hangin' round
An' man, you've got to face it, it's a young man's town

I knew this day was comin' all along
Some why bitch an' moan and say they done you wrong
Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town

It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
An' sometimes you gotta stand back
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town

You always seem to be the last to know
Man, that's just the way that the story goes
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown
An' man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town

It's a young man's town
Full of young man's dreams
An' all God's children gotta learn to spread their wings
An' sometimes you gotta stand back
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground
An' even though you built it, it's a young man's town

Sometimes you gotta stand back
An' watch 'em burn it to the ground
Even though you built it, it's a young man's town
It's a young man's town


24.Old Time Fiddle

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Leslie Satcher

I wanna hear an old time fiddle
And play an old time fiddle song
I might even drink just a little
If you play 'Little Jolie Blon'

And if you're lookin' me, I'm liable to be
In the middle of the ol' dance floor
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin' on the bow

Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I miss ol' Herman Stover
Playin' 'Listen To The Mockingbird'
It was Piedmont, Oklahoma
It was the sweetest sound I ever heard

Skinny ol' man in a cowboy band
You could barely get the people in the door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow

Play diggy diggy li, diggy diggy lo
Then a little cotton-eyed Joe
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

I wanna throw down on a hoe down
Hanging with the people I know
Hear the sweet sound of a breakdown
When you put a little rosin on the bow

Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore

Y'all come on over when the sun goes down
Bang on the ol' screen door
I wanna hear an old time fiddle
Like you never get to hear anymore


25.This Old Guitar and Me

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

This old guitar and me
And the things that we've been through
C.F. Martin built him
Back in nineteen forty-two

I remember when we met
I was only seventeen
I spent all my college money
On a half a dozen strings

I thought my folks would kill me
I found out I was wrong
They said your future's written on your face
When you sing those travelin' songs

So we headed for Kentucky
With a suitcase full of dreams
My rough-out books, a few T-shirts
A worn out pair of jeans, ooh

This old guitar and me
We spent a lot of nights alone
Well, sometimes we'd get lucky
And take bar maid home

One night stands for breakfast
Two strangers with the blues
We'd wake up in the morning
And both feel a little used

Well, home was just a highway
We'd roam from town to town
Just me and that old flattop
Not caring where we're bound

From Maine to California
With a five piece travelin' band
Singin' songs about the hard times
That face the common man, ooh

This old guitar and me
Lord, we did the best we could
One was born a sinner
And one a piece of wood

God sent a wooden angel
To guide me on my way
We were meant to be together
Until my dyin' day

Well, now my dearest old companion
Lies underneath my bed
Well, our travelin' days are over
Man, but the memories fill my head

Well, I've settled with my family
Here in the hills of Tennessee
To teach my children's children
'Bout this old guitar and me, ooh


26.Someday

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Richard Marx

I wipe a tear away as I give up this day
Wonderin' if I'll ever find someone
And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering, someday, love will come

I won't have a doubt, my head up in the cloud
And certain as the mornin' sun
I will always believe there's somebody just for me
Someday love will come

Someday, after all these nights of waitin'
And someday, I'll find the chance worth takin'
And saving me from waking up alone
My heart will find a home someday

And she'll be so beautiful
The sweetest miracle
Someday, love will come

Someday, after all these nights of waitin'
And someday, I'll find the chance worth takin'
And saving me from waking up alone
My heart will find a home someday

And when I close my eyes and dream
These are the words I'm whispering
Someday love will come
Someday love will come


27.Next Big Thing

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill, John Hobbs

The things have changed in the modern world
It makes it kinda crazy for a boy and girl
All a lot of noise on the radio
It really don't rock, it really don't roll

Well, a kid come along make the young girls swoon
They all put his picture in their pink bedrooms
They all hail the brand new king
Everybody's waiting for the next big thing

Big cigars, diamond rings, ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man you know what that means
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing

For a little while, you can do no wrong
Live it up son 'cause it don't last long
There's always somebody waitin' in the wings
Thinking they're going to be the next big thing

Big cigars, diamond rings, ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man you know what that means
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing

I'll get a cowboy hat, some real tight jeans
I lose a little weight and get a bellybutton ring
You can stand back, I'm a lean machine, yeah
And maybe I'm gonna be the next big thing

Big cigars, diamond rings, ridin' all around in a limousine
When you finally hit the top
Man you know what that means
Well, everybody's ready for the next big thing
Everybody's ready for the next big thing


28.In These Last Few Days

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

In these last few days, you've been on my mind
An' we should get together an' talk about old times
An' put the past behind us before life slips away
I've been thinkin' 'bout you in these last few days

In these last few days, I have felt my age
I wish that I was younger but time has turned the page
I sure miss the water and the rhythm of the waves
I've been feelin' fragile in these last few days

But I have been a father, a husband and a son
Lookin' back is bitter sweet, now that my race has run
I've tried to be a witness from the cradle to the grave
Time has felt so precious in these last few days

In these last few days, I've seen the light
And I'll be waitin' for you on the other side
My old friend, I love you, that's really all there's left to say
Lay down here beside me in these last few days
My old friend, I'll miss you but I'm trying to be brave
Lay down here beside me in these last few days


29.Loving You Makes Me A Better Man

Lyricist:Rodney Crowell

Loving you makes me a better man
These things I don't know how to do
But you make me think I can

I've got a long way to go
But I know what I know like the back of my hand
Loving you makes me a better man

I've been wrong, more than I cared to say
Time after time I've been lost
Just couldn't find my way

You shed a light on the path through the night
Leading right to the side where I stand
Loving you makes me a better man

I make mistakes, didn't have what it takes
Just to walk out leave it alone
I've got a long lot of heartaches that follow me home

Time goes on and I watch you disappear
I've got a mount to mount
Now that I have you near

You came to me and it's easy to see
There's a line that I've crossed in the sand
Loving you makes me a better man
Loving you makes me a better man


30.I'm No Stranger To The Rain - Keith Whitley

Lyricist:Sonny Curtis, Ron Hellard

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder
Lightning strikes me?

I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in
So he gave up on me

I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding
Shelter in a downpour

I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain

But when I get that foggy feeling
When I'm feeling down
If I don't keep my head up
I may drown

But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down

I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal
Or borrow a little sunshine

And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the man designed me
To ride the wind
And dance in a hurricane

I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder
Lightning strikes me?

But I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the man designed me
To ride the wind
And dance in a hurricane

I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain


31.Lucy Dee - '89

Lyricist:Steve Earle

I've been sittin' here talkin' at you all night long
Now honey, you still come off cool
Well, you could have walked away
Instead you're leadin' me on
Lucy, who're you tryin' to fool?

Yeah, Lucy Dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well, it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be

Well, you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal, Lucy Dee

You've known all along just what I'm talkin' about
Well, you knew someday there'd come a man
Who wouldn't keep on givin' 'til he finally gave out
Lucy, honey, here I stand

Yeah, Lucy Dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well, it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be

Well, you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal, Lucy Dee

You tell me you've known every thrill that there is to know
And nothin' in this life comes free, nothin'
Well, you tell me you've been every way that there is to go
Lucy, you ain't been with me

Yeah, Lucy Dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well, it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be

Well, you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal, Lucy Dee
Poor Lucy Dee


32.Don't Let Our Love Start Slipping Away

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Pete Wasner

We've been up all night long
Trying to solve a problem, well, it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleeping if our love meant everything
'Cause I ain't giving up, you ain't giving in

Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away

And real love walks, a real thin line
No communication will kill it every time
So open up your heart, baby we can work it out
'Cause we got the kind of love people dream about

Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away

It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on, yeah

Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away

Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away


33.My Kind of Woman, My Kind of Man

Lyricist:Vince Gill

You don't need diamonds or big fancy cars
You say you're happy right where you are
We're bound together by a little gold band
You're my kind of woman, you're my kind of man

Oh, living without you is my only fear
You still drive me crazy when I hold you near
My body trembles with the touch of your hand
You're my kind of woman, you're my kind of man

You're my kind of woman, you're my kind of man
A match made in Heaven by God's gentle hands
I'll love you forever, together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman, you're my kind of man

You're my kind of woman, you're my kind of man
A match made in Heaven by God's gentle hands
I'll love you forever, together we'll stand
You're my kind of woman, you're my kind of man
You're my kind of woman and you're my kind of man


34.What You Don't Say

Lyricist:Vincent Gill, John Hobbs, Reed Nielsen

Sometimes this old world gets to me
And I sure can be a jerk
But you always see the best in me
God knows you've seen the worst

You know when to let me be
Pull yourself real close to me
And how to take my breath away

You don't care who's right or wrong
I know whose side you're on
It's more than the love that we make
It's what you don't say

Man, I should have been the death of me
I sure can run it in the ground
When you come lie here next to me
Girl, you bring me back around

You know when to let me be
Pull yourself real close to me
And how to take my breath away

You don't care who's right or wrong
I know whose side you're on
It's more than the love that we make
It's what you don't say

You know when to let me be
Pull yourself real close to me
And how to take my breath away

You don't care who's right or wrong
I know whose side you're on
It's more than the love that we make
It's what you don't say
It's what you don't say
It's what you don't say


35.Sweet Thing

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Gary Tolbert Nicholson

I'd be out runnin' most every night
We'd always wind up in one hell of a fight
The end is comin' there ain't no doubt
But there's just that one thing I can't live without

I won't try to stop you
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind?

You take the dishes, the silverware
Well, I'll keep the hound dog and this easy chair
Keep the Ranchero but that TV is mine
She said, 'You can stick that clicker where the sun don't shine'

I know you're leaving
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind?

Well, that woman was real mean
My trailer park drama queen
I'm gonna have bad dreams
About missing that sweet thing
Oh Lord, I don't know what I am gonna do

Why's a tornado like a redneck divorce?
Either way somebody's bound to lose a mobile home of course
Well, that's my story, it's sad but true
I've only got one request of you

I know you're leaving
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind

Well, I know you're leaving, baby
I can't change your mind
It's been nice to know you
Could you leave that sweet thing behind?


36.Little Brother

Lyricist:Vince Gill

We were just kids growin' up in West Texas
Remember the hell we've raised
We chased the girls but we never could catch 'em
Those were our glory days

You called me cowboy 'cause I drove a pickup
And sang those old cheatin' songs
We'd buy a bottle of Boone's Farm, wind up all messed up
Where have those years all gone?

Hey little brother, this is old cowboy
Best keep your radio on
'Cause I might get lucky, sing on the Opry
And I'll dedicate you this song

Well, I hit the highway and never looked back
You stayed here in our old hometown
You married a sweet girl down around Austin
Had nine kids whose eyes are all brown

I hit every barroom from Bakersfield to Boston
Seeking whiskey, fortune and fame
Countin' these white lines sure gets lonely
Someday they'll all know my name

Hey little brother, this is old cowboy
Best keep your radio on
'Cause I might get lucky, sing on the Opry
And I'll dedicate you this song

Well, the years come and go and I've sure realized
Ain't nothin' like your best friend
If there's one thing I know 'til the day that I die
You've got my back, brother Ben

Hey little brother, this is old cowboy
You've got your radio on
Tonight I got lucky, I'm singin' on the Opry
And I dedicate you this song

Yeah, tonight I got lucky, I'm singin' on the Grand Ole Opry
And I dedicate you this song


37.Workin' On A Big Chill

Lyricist:Alan Anderson, Vince Gill, Leslie Winn Satcher

Here comes the weekend, sure could use
Some relaxation to shake these blues
Fill up the cooler with a little good cheer
Hand me my sun shades, I'm checkin' out of here

I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
Lord, I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
(Workin' on a big chill)

Hook up the camper, head for the lake
Sit on my tail bone, them fish can wait
Pick up my baby, she's going too
A little skinny dippin', Lord is good for you

I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
I'm workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
(Workin' on a big chill)

Workin' on a

Now we ain't leavin' till the suds are gone
Call everybody, there's a party goin' on
Come Monday mornin', it's back to the grind
Come on baby, let's have a good time

We'll be workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
And we'll be workin', Lord, on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)

We'll be workin' on a big chill
(Workin', workin' on a big chill)
And we'll be workin', baby, on a big chill

Workin' on a
Workin' on a
Workin' on a
...


38.Sweet Little Corrina

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill

Well, here comes my little baby
Here comes my turtle dove
She drives me crazy
She's the one that I love

She's got a way about her
I could never turn down
I couldn't live without her
She makes the world go around

Sweet little Corrina
Come over here by my side
Sweet little Corrina
Put your pretty little hand in mine

You could search the world over
Right up till the end of time
Every night I get to hold her
Sweet Corrina, now she's so fine

She's my little angel
My little beauty queen
She never met a stranger
She's the girl of my dreams

She's a ballerina
Sweet as she can be
Ought to see the way
She's smilin' at me

Sweet little Corrina
Come over here by my side
Sweet little Corrina
Put your pretty little hand in mine

You could search the world over
Right up till the end of time
Every night I get to hold her
Sweet Corrina, now she's so fine

Sweet little Corrina
Come over here by my side
Sweet little Corrina
Put your pretty little hand in mine

You could search the world over
Right up till the end of time
Every night I get to hold her
Sweet Corrina, now she's so fine


39.The Only Love

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Reed Nielson

Lying here in this sleepy town
Listening to the sun go down
The only one who hears the sound
Is you

You look at life so wild and free
I love the way you smile at me
The only love I'll ever need
Is you

I need you
To start a clear blue mornin'
I need you
At the end of a long hard day

I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you

We don't go much of anywhere
Sunday church and county fairs
The world looks good from these rocking chairs
It's true

Be my woman, I'll be your man
We'll go through life hand in hand
All I want to understand
Is you

I need you
To start a clear blue mornin'
I need you
At the end of a long hard day

I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you

I've never seen you wear a frown
Blues don't even hang around
The only love I've ever found is you


40.Sweet Augusta Darlin'

Lyricist:Vince Gill

She holds me when I'm sleepin'
She wakes me with a kiss
She is the only woman
My heart cannot resist

My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine

She whispers that she loves me
She knows I feel the same
I thank the Lord above me
When I hear her call my name

My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine

We'll praise this perfect union
And we'll watch the years go by
And we'll be such sweet companions
Until the end of time

My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine


41.How Lonely Looks

Lyricist:Beverly W Darnall, Vince Gill

I've sung along with a thousand songs
That talked about goodbye
Of letting go of what you love so
Trying to sleep at night

'Bout how you'd cry when you decide
To final walk away
Babe, I swear I never thought
I'd ever see this day

So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real

I never knew that losing you
Would tear my world apart
Who could've known I'd be alone
With just my broken heart

So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real

So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real

So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real


42.When I Look Into Your Heart (w/ Amy Grant)

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Amy Grant

When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart

I've seen the moon dance on the waters
Watched the morning sun slip through the trees
But the sight of you is the vision
That takes me to my knees

When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart

I've never known such comfort
And I've never felt such release
I've never felt so connected
And I've never known such peace

When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart


43.Give Me The Highway

Lyricist:Vince Gill

Give me the highway
Lord knows I love to roam
Give me the highway
Well, I can hear the lonesome whistle moan

White lines, neon signs
Have always been my home
Give me the highway
'Cause I was born a rollin' stone

Down every road I travel
Lord, to you might look the same
But maybe you might tell me
Every town's got a different name

I'd like to find a woman
That won't hell-bent to tie me down
Someone to be content
To go anywhere I'm bound

Give me the highway
Lord knows I love to roam
Give me the highway
Well, I can hear the lonesome whistle moan

White lines, neon signs
Have always been my home
Give me the highway
'Cause I was born a rollin' stone

Give me the highway
Lord knows I love to roam
Give me the highway
Well, I can hear the lonesome whistle moan

White lines, neon signs
Have always been my home
Give me the highway
'Cause I was born a rollin' stone
Give me the highway
'Cause I was born a rollin' stone


44.Molly Brown

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Jim Waggoner

Molly Brown, waits for me
In a little one-horse town
And Boley, Oklahoma
Where white folks don't come around

I'm thinkin' about you, Molly
I'm forbidden to come 'round
Lord knows I love you, Molly
Molly Brown

Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lay down by my side
Show me how you spread your wings
And let that pony ride

I'm crazy about you, Molly
I don't care that your skin is brown
Lord knows I need you, Molly
Molly Brown

Molly Brown
Oh, Molly Brown

We met down by the river
She wore her wedding gown
I never saw it coming
And no one heard the sound

My daddy used both barrels
And left me there to drown
Lord knows I'd die for Molly
Molly Brown

Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Don't you weep for me
I'm going to a place the Lord
Prepared for you and me

I'll meet you up in Heaven
Upon that Holy ground
I'll be waitin' for you, Molly
Molly Brown

Molly Brown, Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lord, I'll be waitin' up in Heavenly
My sweet little brown, Molly Brown


45.Son Of A Ramblin' Man

Lyricist:Vince Gill

Have you ever had a thing for a woman
A thing that makes you lose your mind?
Every time I start to think about her
Sends shivers up and down my spine

My daddy was a bit of a rounder
Said these women are gonna make you go blind
I told my old man that I'm right over here
Like the way I see just fine

I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Son of a runnin' kind
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
I come from a long, long line

Well, I'm just a hillbilly gypsy
I ain't much for settling down
If I thought somebody might miss me
Maybe I'd hang around

So I better keep on drifting
As every town just a little too small
Ain't nothin' in the world like a woman
I'm going to try to love them all

I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Son of a runnin' kind
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
I come from a long, long line

I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Son of a runnin' kind
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
I come from a long, long line

I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Son of a runnin' kind
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
I come from a long, long line

I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Son of a runnin' kind
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
I come from a long, long line


46.The Rock Of Your Love

Lyricist:Al Anderson, Vince Gill, Leslie Winn Satcher

I lose myself in this place
Strangest smile on my face
The hand of blessing or beginner's luck
Here I stand on the rock of your love

Somethin' steady sure feels good
I always knew somehow it would
I've traded chains for the wings of a dove
Standin' on the rock of your love

Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love

If this ol' world should fade away
If I've got you I ain't afraid
I will face whatever comes
Standin' on the rock of your love

Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love
I'll still be here when the trouble's done
Standin' on the rock of your love


47.Which Way Will You Go

Lyricist:Vince Gill, John Hobbs, Reed Nielson

Baby, you need to put that bottle down
Put that gun back in the drawer
I hear your man's been out there runnin' 'round
You're hell-bent to even up the score

Don't let the devil get you by the throat
You pull that trigger, girl, that's all she wrote
Satan's waitin' for you down the road
Oh, which way will you go?

Your hands are shakin' and your knees are weak
Pistol pointed at the door
You're tired of wearin' bruises on your cheek
Bein' treated like a whore

Don't let the devil get you by the throat
You pull that trigger, girl, that's all she wrote
Well, Satan's waitin' for you down the road
Oh, which way will you go?

And don't let the devil get you by the throat
You pull that trigger, girl, that's all she wrote
Well, Satan's waitin' for you down the road
Oh, which way will you go?

Oh, Heaven only knows

Baby, you need to put that bottle down
Put that gun back in the drawer


48.Some Things Never Get Old

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill, Tia M Sillers

Have you ever watched the sunset
Disappear in the water down in Mexico?
The sky on fire melting into the ocean
Man, there's some things that never get old

Have you ever seen a baby walk for the first time?
It's like watching a sparrow, a sparrow's wings unfold
And when that baby, she smiles up at you
Man, there's some things that never get old

Makin' sweet love to that gal of mine
My first taste of bluebird wine
Eatin' watermelon down to the rind
Any old song by brother John Prine

Sometimes that face looking back in the mirror
It make that mirror, make that mirror cold, babe
But in my heart, oh, I'm a hundred years younger
Man, there's some things that never get old, no, no

I ride into town with some friends of mine
It's a two-tone Chevy, she's a 59
Ice cold beer in the summertime
Pickin' on the back porch with brother John Prine

Well, I think livin' is one long highway
I'm bettin' Heaven is at the end of the road
And I think love just might be the answer
Man, there's some things that never get old
And I think love, oh Lord, I know it's the answer
Oh, there's some things that never get old


49.Everybody's Sweetheart - Vince Gill

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

When I told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well, I had no idea
Just what she'd put me through

Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
There ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down

Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time

I used to be the first in line
Now, I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine

All that country club money
Lord, it sure looked good to me, yeah, it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be?

They all think I've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the U.S.A

Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time

I used to be the first in line
Now, I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine

If you see her tell her, 'Hi'
And everything will be all right
Tell her that I love her
Till the day I die

Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time

I used to be the first in line
Now, I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
Come on home


50.Bet It All On You

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill

It feels like you're at the bottom of an avalanche
You sit and cry 'cause he don't ever wanna dance
Give me the dice, give me half a chance with you, baby

I look for you, just hoping you'll come in tonight
With that fool, the one who never treats you right
If you only knew how bad I burn inside for you, baby

Baby, I'll do just what I have to do
I'd beg, borrow, steal, cheat and lie for you
I'll put it all on the line if you ask me to

This heart of mine has taken all that it can stand
But I ain't blind, I can see you want me too, baby

Can't wait, gotta give this thing a shot
I know it's crazy but we ain't got a thing to lose

51.These Days

Lyricist:Vince Gill

Man, I've seen it all
I've had my back against the wall
Pain and misery, empty victories
Then you came along

Oh, these days, I'll take these days
Over any other days I've ever known
Oh, your sweet ways make these days
Feel like home

Man, I've chased some crazy dreams
Reaching for that big brass ring
Bitter memories, I've put behind me
I found out it's the little things

Oh, these days, I'll take these days
Over any other days I've ever known
'Cause your sweet ways make these days
Feel like home

Oh, these days, I'll take these days
Over any other days I've ever known
Oh, your sweet ways make these days
Feel like home

'Cause your sweet ways make these days
Feel like home


52.Almost Home

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Joe Henry

He was sitting in the corner
At a table all alone
A candle burnin' in the darkness
His glass of wine was almost gone

And something about him felt familiar
And it made me stop and stare
The way he held his hands before him
Looked like he was lost in prayer

Hey son, what are you lookin' at?
Why do your eyes look so sad?
There's somethin' in the way he sat there
It made me think about my dad

I'm lookin' for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and the son

Hey son, why don't you pull up one of those empty chairs?
Bring it over here by my side
Buy me a glass of wine
This looks like a real good place to hide

You know I've always been a fisherman
Fishin' for souls along the way
You kind of remind me of my only son
And I lost him 33 years ago today

I'm lookin' for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and the son

There's somethin' I must give you
The compass that my father made
It'll point you in the right direction
In case you ever lose your way

You know I've got somethin' here in my pocket
This is little silver cross
I think my son would want you to have it
When you think all the hope is lost

We're lookin' for the answer
Just like everyone
We know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and the son

I left him sitting at his table
But I didn't feel alone
For a moment I could see the light
Oh, we were almost home
For a moment I could see the light
Oh, we were almost home


53.Cowboy Up

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Pete Wasner

I'm puttin' on my favorite cowboy boots
Like a crazy bull rider comin' out of the chute
I'm ready for some dancin', maybe too much beer
Little bare-back rubbin's goin' on in here

Hey little cowgirl, leave the Stetson on
Let's cowboy up and down, honey, all night long

She said her name was Levitra Marcantonio
I'm a bare back rider, okie, don't you know?
These frozen margaritas are goin' to my head
I could not believe it when Levitra said

â½Hey Mr. Cowboy, come on and take me home
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night longâ

All night long, oh, you're comin' on strong
All night long, come on and do me wrong, do me wrong, baby

Hey little cowgirl, leave just your Stetson on
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night long

Hey little cowgirl, leave just your Stetson on
Gonna cowboy up and down till Levitra's gone

We have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father you have come
And chosen my love to carry your son

I am waiting, in a silent prayer
I am troubled by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now, be with me now

Breath of Heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for You are holy
Breath of Heaven

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am for the mercy of Your plan
Help me be strong, help me be, help me

Breath of Heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for You are holy

Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for You are holy

Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven


55.Whipporwill River

Lyricist:Dean Dillon, Vince Gill

My dad was a man with two hard workin' hands
He always took time out for me
Well, I'd come home from school, load up that canoe
He'd say, 'What's the bet gonna be?'

We'd float that boat down old Whippoorwill River
Catch us a big one or two
Well, he taught me about life
And its simple pleasures, whatever else that he knew

Then I met a girl with a head full of curls
A pure and innocent heart
Oh, I knew she was the one and when weekends would come
Wild horses couldn't keep us apart

We'd run those ponies down Whippoorwill River
And I'd steal a sweet kiss or two
She taught me about love
And its simple pleasures, whatever else that she knew

Well, I married that girl and we have a son
And he looks like my daddy used to
Oh, his mom and I, always find time
To do things that he likes to do

Well, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And ride in his granddad's canoe
We teach him about life
And its simple pleasures and pass down a memory or two

Yeah, he loves to go fishing on Whippoorwill River
And catch him a big one or two
He's learning about life
And its simple pleasures and making a memory or two
Ooh


56.What You Give Away

Lyricist:Al Anderson, Vincent Grant Gill

You read the business page, see how you did today
Life's just spent some by
You live up on the hill, you've got a view that kills
And never wonder why

After you've counted everything you've saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
What you give away

There's people on the street, ain't got enough to eat
And you just shake your head
The measure of a man is one who lends a hand
That's what my father said

After you've counted everything you've saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
It's what you give away

After you've counted everything you've saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?

No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away

You know it's not too late
It's all for Heaven's sake
What you give away

What you give away
(What you give away)
What you give away
(What you give away)

What you give away
What you give away
What you give away
What you give away


57.A River Like You

Lyricist:Randy Albright, Vince Gill, Mark D Sanders

A good woman's love is like a river
Runnin' through the heart of a man
If he gives her all he can give her
She'll be with him at every bend

And now the rivers I've crossed
A reflection was lost
And shallow waters left me blue
Girl, I never came across a river like you

A river like you
Where your love runs so deep and true
A river like you
Like a waterfall fallin' in two
A river like you

Well, I spent all my time searchin'
And runnin' like the wayward wind
But you found me desperately driftin'
And touched my heart and took me in

Now your love runs through me
And in your eyes I see
Reflections I never knew
Girl, I'll always be sailin' on a river like you

A river like you
Where your love runs so deep and true
A river like you
Like a waterfall fallin' in two
A river like you

Now the rivers I've crossed
A reflection was lost
And shallow waters left me blue
Girl, I'll always keep sailin' on a river like you

A river like you
Where your love runs so deep and true
A river like you
Like a waterfall fallin' in two
A river like you
A river like you
A river like you


58.All Prayed Up

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die

I made my peace with Jesus a long, long time ago
Trusted in Him that He would save my soul
I walked up there beside Him, He guides me me on my way
And I know He hears me when I kneel and pray

I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die

Now I ain't afraid of Satan, his wicked ways of sin
They tempted me but he couldn't pull me in
When I've gone to live with Jesus, face my judgment day
He'll fulfill for me the promise that He made

I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die

I'm all prayed up, I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waitin' in the by and by
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die
I'm all prayed up, my faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die


59.Time To Carry On

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Pete Wasner

Painted as the victim
He said you caused it all
Lying to convince 'em
So you would take the fall

You walked out with nothin'
Hopin' for some peace of mind

The pain is almost over
The hurt is nearly gone
No more lookin' over your shoulder
It's time to carry on

The scars won't last forever
The truth will take their place
Angry words will be forgotten
Contempt will fade away

The promise of tomorrow
It will always remain

The pain is almost over
The hurt is nearly gone
No more lookin' over your shoulder
It's time to carry on

The promise of tomorrow
'T will always remain

The pain is almost over
The hurt is nearly gone
No more lookin' over your shoulder
It's time to carry on
It's time to carry on


60.This Memory Of You

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill, John Hobbs

The blues are in the air tonight
Love has gone and passed me by without a warning
I light up another cigarette
The pain hasn't hit me yet but I know it's comin'

And your perfume lingers still upon my pillow case
The tears just started fallin' down upon my face
I lie here in the loneliness with this memory of you

I don't know where you are tonight
I'm starin' at the candlelight and I miss you, babe
In the darkness here all by myself
I imagine you with someone else, I'm gong crazy

And with everything about you dancing in my head
Girl, I sure am lonely in this empty bed
I lie here in the loneliness with this memory of you

And your perfume lingers still upon my pillow case
And the tears just keep fallin' down upon my face
I lie here in the loneliness with this memory of you

The blues are in the air tonight
Love has gone and passed me by


61.Everything And Nothing

Lyricist:Beverly Darnall, Vince Gill, Kyle David Matthews

It's like jail, it's like flight
It's a dream that breaks in the middle of the night
It's like chains, it's like an open door
Love is everything and nothing I've been looking for

It's coming home, it's lost at sea
It's a hopeless addiction to sweet misery
It's the poison, it's the candy store
Well, love is everything and nothing I've been looking for

I can't hide from the truth, this love I feel for you
Oh, it's the one thing that I can't ignore
I know I can't explain the pleasure or the pain
Your love is everything and nothing I've been looking for

It's like freedom, it's like a trap
It's a short trip to Heaven and a long ride back
Well, dance on the ceiling and crawl on the floor
And love is everything and nothing I've been looking for

I can't hide from the truth, this love I feel for you
Oh, it's the one thing that I can't ignore
I know I can't explain the pleasure or the pain
Your love is everything and nothing I've been looking for

I can't hide from the truth, this love I feel for you
Oh, it's the one thing that I can't ignore
I know I can't explain the pleasure or the pain
Your love is everything and nothing I've been looking for

Well, love is everything and nothing I've been looking for


62.Take This Country Back

Lyricist:Vince Gill

They used to be rough and rowdy
And honky-tonk all night long
When the Opry spilled out in the alley
There wasn't nobody goin' home

When they turned out the lights at Tootsie's
To wind up at Cowboy Jack's
We've got to take this country back

We've got to take this country back
We need a few more matchin' Nudie suits
And silver dollar Cadillacs

There's one too many dime store cowboys
Muscled up in a cowboy hat
We've got to take this country back

Nobody wants to be Hank Williams
Sing about the lost highway
Well, Saturday nights at the Ryman
Those were the good ol' days

We need to turn the twang up a little
And bring back the Nashville Cats
We've got to take this country back

We've got to take this country back
We need a few more pointy toed cowboy boots
And steer horn Cadillacs

There's one too many dime store cowboys
Muscled up in a cowboy hat
We've got to take this country back

We've got to take this country back
We need a few more matchin' Nudie suits
And silver dollar Cadillacs

When we all gather up in Heaven
How we gonna face the man in black?
We got to take this country back

Yeah, when we all gather up in Heaven
How we gonna face the man in black?
We got to take this country back


63.Love's Standin'

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Joe Henry, John Hobbs

Well, every morning when I wake up
And I see you without your makeup
And you still take me breath away

There ain't no grass that's any greener
I know there's nothing sweeter
Than how you make me feel this way

When I look in your eyes, any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me

When the world's in such a hurry
But I don't have to worry
'Cause I found what they're lookin' for

She whispers, â½Baby, lay your head downâ
Slips off that flannel nightgown
How could any man ever wish for more?

When I look in your eyes, any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I see your face and I know I've found my place
Love's standin' right in front of me

When I look in your eyes, any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I see your face and I know I've found my place
Love's standin' right in front of me

Love's standin' right in front of me, baby
And our love I see ain't goin' nowhere, baby
Love's standin' right in front of me

When I see your face and I know I've found my place
Love's standin' right in front of me


64.Don't Pretend With Me

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill, Leslie Winn Satcher

They say you'll lie, they say you'll cheat
And your kisses taste so sweet
If you're not in love then let me be
No baby, don't pretend with me

That honky-tonking life you lead
With neon lights you'll never leave
Give me one reason to believe
But baby, don't pretend with me

Your foolish heart will never change
Well, I want no part of your love-sick games
I know you're wild and runnin' free
So baby, don't pretend with me

I'll lay my poor heart at your feet
If you'll leave behind those lonely streets
Oh, we could make sweet memories
So baby, don't pretend with me

Your foolish heart will never change
I want no part of your love-sick games
I know you're wild and runnin' free
So baby, don't pretend with me
I know you're wild and runnin' free
So baby, don't pretend with me


65.The Reason Why

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Gary Nicholson

Why do I choose the things I choose?
Why do I always find some lame excuse?
And why do I not realize what I could do?
Oh, I wish I knew the reason why

Why do you get that sad look on your face?
And why do you pull away from my embrace?
And why do you see all my faults and my mistakes?
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why

Why do we treat each other like we do?
It's like we never even tried
Why can't we get back to the love we knew?
Oh, why? Oh baby, why?

Why do we have to play the same old games?
And why do we run away from who's to blame?
And can't we see to lose this love would be a shame?
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why


66.Ace Up Your Pretty Sleeve

Lyricist:Mark Germino, Vince Gill

I take it out on you
I take it out on me
Don't take to a cruel world
Very gracefully

I'm the cause and effect
Of my own four-letter words
Baby, I'm a good man
No matter what you heard

And I'll be there for you
When you need me to be
I'll be the sun at your door
I'll be the wind in your trees

If I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve
Oh yes, I will

I'm sharp with my tongue
I know I cut you inside
But I make a concerted
Effort at times

To try to be more
Than a fool in your eyes
Baby, I love you
Don't you realize?

That I'll be there for you
When you need me to be
I'll be the sun at your door
I'll be the wind in your trees

If I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve
Oh, up your pretty sleeve, baby

And I'll be there for you
When you need me to be
I'll be the sun at your door
I'll be the wind in your trees

If I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve
And if I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve

Oh yes, I will
An ace up your pretty sleeve


67.I Can't Let Go

Lyricist:Vince Gill

Oh, I can't find a way to keep pretending
I'm doin' alright on my own
And I can't find the strength to keep believin'
That you'll ever come back home

But I'm tryin' to put this behind me
And I've been cryin' more than you know
I'd be lyin' to say this won't kill me
Oh, I'm dyin' 'cause I can't let go

And I can't find a way to keep pretending
Well, I'm doin' alright on my own
And I can't find the strength to keep believin'
That you'll ever come back home

Oh, your perfume still lingers all around me
In our bedroom where I loved you so
I'd be lyin' to say this won't kill me
Oh, I'm dyin' 'cause I can't let go
I'd be lyin' to say this won't kill me
Oh, I'm dyin' 'cause I can't let go


68.The Sight Of Me Without You

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill, John Hobbs

I can't believe I am watching our love ending
I wonder just how long you've been pretending?
Pretending that our love was what you wanted
While you were out there finding someone new
Well, these days I don't dare look in the mirror
'Cause I can hardly stand the sight of me without you

My broken heart might need a little mending
And I lie here in the dark still remembering
Remembering when we were so good together
I've become a perfect image of a fool
Oh, the picture of my future is getting clearer
And I can hardly stand the sight of me without you

Oh, the picture of my future is getting clearer
And I can hardly stand the sight of me without you
Oh, the picture of my future is getting clearer
And I can hardly stand the sight of me without you


69.If I Can Make Mississippi

Lyricist:Vince Gill

If I can make Mississippi
Then I'll be alright
These ol' white lines are lonely
On this two-lane tonight

I've got just enough whiskey
To keep me warm till the mornin' light
If I can make Mississippi
Mississippi tonight

I headed out west
To seek my fortune and fame
I sure made a mess
It took it all but my name

Why I ever left?
I can never explain
If I can make Mississippi
Through this pouring rain

If I can make Mississippi
Then I'll be alright
These ol' white lines are lonely
And the headlights are bright

I've got just enough whiskey
To keep me warm till the mornin' light
If I could make Mississippi
Mississippi tonight

She said, she would wait
She said our love was strong
Well, I'm just so afraid
I've been gone for too long

When I walk through that gate
Will she be there or long, long gone?
If I can make Mississippi
If I can make it back home
If I can make Mississippi
If I can make it back home


70.No Easy Way

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Reed Nielson

From my room I can hear you laughing
You spend all your time with my best friend
Oh, I wish you knew how bad I've fallen for you
There's no way to know how things may end

'Cause babe, I don't know where to start
Longing is the hardest part
There ain't no easy way into your heart

In my mind I can see us together
Crazy in love and paintin' the town
When you look at him I know there's no way I can win
I came running for you, would you turn me down?

'Cause babe, I don't know where to start
Longing is the hardest part
There ain't no easy way into your heart

Babe, I don't know where to start
Longing is the hardest part
There ain't no easy way into your heart

Babe, I don't know where to start
Longing is the hardest part
There ain't no easy way into your heart


71.Tell Me One More Time About Jesus

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Amy Lee Grant

Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about my Savior's face

Here comes my old friend, the preacher
He's knockin' on my front door
He's out tryin' to save all the sinners
He's been here so many times before

I love the easy conversation
Man, that preacher sure can talk
It brings up my need for salvation
Even though he knows I'm stubborn to a fault

Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
Lord, I need just a little more faith

I walked by the church Sunday mornin'
I slipped on in the back door
It's sure been a long time coming
And tell my preacher what I need to know

His words were like a cool drink of water
He said, 'Sinners come on down the aisle'
So I went runnin' for the alter
You should have seen my old friend, the preacher smile

Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
I long to see my Savior's face
Oh, I long to see my Savior's face


72.Out Of My Mind

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill, Leslie Winn Satcher

You've got legs just like a long neck bottle
And lips just like strawberry wine
You might be a lifetime of trouble
But still I can't get you out of my mind

Out of my mind, I'm goin' out of my mind
And I see what I've been missin' all this time
Oh, sweet neon angel, don't leave me behind
No, I can't get you out of my mind

You're bringin' on a honky-tonk heartache
And I know you'd never walk the line
To let you slip away, it's a chance I won't take
Still I can't get you out of my mind

Out of my mind, I'm goin' out of my mind
And I see what I've been missin' all this time
Oh, sweet neon angel, don't leave me behind
No, I can't get you out of my mind
No, I can't get you out of my mind


73.The Rhythm Of The Pourin' Rain

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Pete Wasner

Bolt up the windows, lock all the doors
Try to remember what a body is for
There's bad weather comin', the red eye's runnin' red
Let's spend the weekend and never leave that bed

Turn out the lights like there's no one home
And cut the wires on the telephone
Our hearts are pounding like a hurricane
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain

Let's tell ol' Monday mornin', 'Please don't come too soon'
The storm is still raging right here in this room
Oh, what a sweet way to spend our time
Still got a little taste of some real good wine

Turn out the lights like there's no one home
And cut the wires on the telephone
Our hearts are pounding like a hurricane
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain

Oh, what a feelin's gonna fill my brain
Next time the weatherman says it looks like rain?

Turn out the lights like there's no one home
And cut the wires on the telephone
Our hearts are pounding like a hurricane
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain

Turn out the lights like there's no one home
And cut the wires on the telephone
Our hearts are pounding like a hurricane
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain


74.Girl

Lyricist:Vince Gill

Girl, you can trust me with your heart
We've got a chance for a brand new start
Part of your past was so cold and dark
Girl, you can trust me with your heart

Girl, I will never turn away
Give you my word I will always stay
I promise to honor and obey
Girl, I will never turn away

Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been

Girl, I'm asking for your hand
Down on my knees with this golden band
I swear, I will be a gentle man
Girl, I'm asking for your hand

Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been

Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl, you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been

I swear, I will be a faithful man
Girl, you can trust me till the end


75.Smilin' Song

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill, John Hobbs

I've done some things that I hadn't oughta
Like coming home late with the preacher's daughter
I'd hit the back door seeing double
My ol' man waiting with a fistful of trouble

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you're a winner
You talk about love, I ain't no beginner
I'm a sucker for a juke joint jumpin'
I never stop chasin' the scent of the woman

It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song

I've been on top and I've hit the bottom
You talk about hard times Lord, I've got 'em
Just keep on runnin' and go in full of throttle
There ain't no answer in the bottom of a bottle

It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song

Come up smilin'

It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
I come up smilin' song

It's just the way that I've always been
You knock me down, I'm coming back again
I sing, I've been there and I've done that
And I come up smilin' song

Oh, keep on smilin'
Oh, keep on smilin'


76.Cold Gray Light Of Gone

Lyricist:Bill Anderson, Vince Gill, Otto Kitsinger

Oh, I woke up this morning
A long before the dawn
I stumbled to the kitchen
And put some coffee on

The house was deathly quiet
I knew something was wrong
Then suddenly it dawned on me
The cold gray light of gone

No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home

And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone

Oh, I sat and cried for hours
And I tried to clear my head
I even went and laid back down
On her side of the bed

Her perfume lingered on the sheets
Our love once laid upon
Her memory's destroying me
In the cold gray light of gone

No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home

And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone

No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
When waking up and findin' out
She's never comin' home

And the note that said it's over
Lord, it chills me to the bone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
No, there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone


77.When I Look Into Your Heart - With Amy Grant

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Amy Grant

When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart

I've seen the moon dance on the waters
Watched the morning sun slip through the trees
But the sight of you is the vision
That takes me to my knees

When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart

I've never known such comfort
And I've never felt such release
I've never felt so connected
And I've never known such peace

When I look into your heart
I see us holding each other
I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart

I can finally see forever
When I look into your heart


78.Sleigh Ride

Lyricist:Leroy Anderson, Mitchell Parish

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring, ting, tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside, the snow is falling
And friends are calling, 'You, hoo'
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
Let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy, cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
Let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy-yup, giddy-yup, giddy-yup
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy, cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

A sleigh ride together with you
A sleigh ride together with you


79.Silent Night

Lyricist:Franz Gruber, Joseph Mohr, John Freeman Young

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth


80.Don't Let Her Get Away

Lyricist:Alan Gordon Anderson, Vince Gill

There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through

If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you

Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away

Well, every gun in town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine

They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son, I'd have to tell you
I'd be the first in line

Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away

Any fool can see
You've got it made
A love like this
Don't come around everyday

Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away

Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away

Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away
Don't let her get away

Don't let her get away


81.These Broken Hearts

Lyricist:Vince Gill, Pete Wasner

Baby, let's just say farewell
Baby, let's just both give in
No, it's not too hard to tell
The walls are closin' in

Oh, it's time to say goodbye
And put this in the past
Even though I know we tried
To save the best for last

I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well, my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again

I don't know what's left to say
I don't know where we went wrong
When I watch you walk away
I'll miss you when you're gone

Baby, shed a tear for me
And I'll shed a tear for you
Oh, let's set this heartache free
And in time, we'll make it through

Well, I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well, my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again

There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well, my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
Only time will mend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again


82.We Had It All

Lyricist:Vincent Grant Gill

We closed down the Border Cantina
And drank margaritas till dawn
You were my sweet senorita
And I was your handsome Don Juan

We danced like there was no tomorrow
We laughed and we lived and we loved
That moment in time that we borrowed
Never did last long enough

Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
We had it all, right in the palm of our hands
We had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish, we could go back there again

We thought we were too young to marry
Slowly we drifted apart
Well baby, I miss you like crazy
Those memories still burn in my heart

Oh, let's find a way to rekindle
That flame that burned long ago
These days just can't hold a candle
To those sweet nights in old Mexico

Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
We had it all, right in the palm of our hands
We had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish, we could go back there again

Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
We had it all, right in the palm of our hands
We had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish, we could go back there again

Yeah, we had it all going our way for a little while
Oh, how I wish, we could go back there again
Oh, how I wish, we could go back there again


83.Fool Fool

Lyricist:Max Barnes, Jerry Mc Bee, Troy Seals

If love should come again from you
You could never count the ways of things I'd say an' do
And I would be more of a man than I've ever been
If I ever have the chance to be lovin' you again

I have been a fool, that's what I am
I don't wanna lose you
What can I do, my life ain't worth livin'
If my love ain't worth givin' to you

And all I wanna say is you're all I need
Hands like the sunshine touch me at the right time
You're the air I breathe
And I would be more of a man than I've ever been
If I ever have the chance to be lovin' you again

I've been a fool that's what I am
I don't wanna lose you
What can I do my life ain't worth livin'
If my love ain't worth givin' to you

Well, I've been a fool that's what I am
I don't wanna lose you
What can I do my life ain't worth livin'
If my love ain't worth givin' to you

I've been a fool, that's what I am
I don't wanna lose you
What can I do my life ain't worth livin'
If my love ain't worth givin' to you


84.Nothin' For A Broken Heart

Lyricist:Alan Anderson, Vince Gill

There ain't nothin' in the bottom
Of your glass for a broken heart
You were doing pretty good till she came
And tore your world apart

Well, she found a little younger model
You ran straight for the bottle
There ain't nothin' in the bottom
Of your glass for a broken heart

Do you find yourself tossin' and a turnin'
In the middle of the night
With a cigarette burning
Staying up until the broad daylight

Well, you gotta be going crazy
With another man lovin' on your baby
There ain't nothing in the middle of the night
For your broken heart

Well, there ain't never been a cure
For the lowdown blues
When a woman puts on
A pair of walking shoes

You ought to know by now
There's nothin', son, that you can do
For a broken heart, no, no, no, no

There ain't nothin' when the morning finally comes
Gonna change a thing
A little hair of the dog ain't gonna hurt you
Have yourself a drink

She's found another lover
I sure feel for you brother
There ain't nothin' in the whole wide world
For a broken heart

Well, there ain't never been a cure
For the lowdown blues
When a woman puts on
A pair of walking shoes

You ought to know by now
There's nothin', son, that you can do
For a broken heart

Well, there ain't never been a cure
For the lowdown blues
When a woman puts on
A pair of walking shoes

You ought to know by now
There's nothin', son, that you can do
For a broken heart, oh, oh, oh no


85.Bread & Water

One night he wandered into that old mission
Run down on the poor side of town
He really had no interest in salvation
Just a place to lay his drunk old body down

He said, 'Man, I sure am hungry
I don't have a penny to my name
Lord knows I hadn't worried, I marked the Sundays
Dirty, dead, broken soul shamed'

'I need bread and water, man, that's all I need
Bread and water, a place to rest my feet
I ain't too proud to get down on my knees
For bread and water's free'

She said, 'You're always welcomed at this table'
Said, 'Brother, you look like you could use a friend
There's no need to pay if you're not able
'Cause even Jesus was a homeless man'

Well, she opened up the Word and started reading
About the Savior and the woman at the well
Said, 'It ain't for me to judge this life you're leading
'Cause only two things can save your soul from hell'

It's bread and water and that's all you need
Bread and water and place to rest your feet
You ain't too proud to get down on your knees
Bread and water's free

When he bowed his head, he kind of choked up
They spoke every word of Our Lord's Prayer
He closed his eyes and never woke up
And he'll find bread and water waiting there

Bread and water, man that's all you need
Bread and water, a place to rest your feet
Bread and water, man that's all you need
Bread and water, brother, just believe

It ain't too proud to get down on your knees
Bread and water's free, bread and water's free

There's a boy from Okie City and I sure think he's pretty
But I know he's trying to steal my heart away
Oh my mama tried to warn me he's done time in California

88.I Hope You Shed A Million Tears

Vince Gill & Rodney Crowell
Now I can see you clear as day
There on our wedding night
The warm glow of your heart so gay
And your eyes blue shining bright

Your lips were like a rose red wine
The stars alone can yield
My one and only valentine
My lily of the field

Then there came a stranger to our town
A man of worldly charms
Who turned our whole world upside down
And stole you from my arms

Our love was like a sacred scroll
You never did learn to read
I gave to you my heart and soul
And you left it there to bleed

I made a vow to stand by you
Down through our golden years
You broke my heart and left me blue
To shed a million tears

You said goodbye so casually
Oh, I took it hard, it's true
The Bible says forgive you
But that's something I can't do

I loved you like there's no tomorrow
And found out that there's not
Your Romeo came passing through
And cupid fired a shot

When the world was ours, your heart was mine
And our dreams were one of bliss
The days were like a winding stream
And the nights were like a kiss

So we stood before our Savior
True believers in His grace
I gave my very soul to you
And you threw it in my face

I said I'd be right there with you
When we faced our final years
I hope someday you suffer too
And shed a million tears

I hope someday you suffer too
And shed a million tears
