Shotgun houses, shanty shacks Countin' those ties on the railroad track Thirty-four more, it's almost time To see my baby walking out of that
Chorus: Coalmine, covered with dust T-shirt tied, all muscled up All mine, head to toe Come on, come on whistle, blow I can't wait to get him home Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on Gonna keep him busy 'til it's time He goes back to that coalmine
Some girls like them gussied up Wearing all that smelly stuff To me there's nothing quite so fine As my man standing out in front of that
2nd Chorus: Coalmine, covered with dust T-shirt tied, all muscled up All mine, head to toe Come on, come on whistle, blow Power's out, well that's all right We'll make love by a miner's light Gonna keep him busy 'til it's time He goes back to that coalmine
Shotgun houses, shanty shacks Countin' those ties on the railroad track Just two more, it's almost time To see my baby walking out of that coalmine
3rd Chorus: Coalmine, covered with dust T-shirt tied, all muscled up All mine, head to toe Come on, come on whistle, blow Don't want no white-collared man Midnight, I like calloused hands To keep me busy 'til it's time He goes back to that coalmine
I can't wait to get him home Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on Power's out, well that's all right We'll make love by a miner's light Don't want no white-collared man Midnight, I like calloused hands To keep me busy 'til it's time He goes back to that coalmine
A Real Fine Place To Start (Radney Foster/George Ducas)

Cheatin' (Brett James/Don Schiltz)
You say your every day Is a bad dream the keeps repeatin' Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
How do you like that furnished room The bed, the chair, the table The TV picture comes and goes Too bad you don't have cable How do you like that paper plate And those pork'n'beans you're eatin' Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
How do you like that beat-up car I think it's fair we traded Your pick-up truck is running fine It's a cozy ride for datin' Yes, I've been out a time or two And found the comfort I've been needin' Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
You made your bed and You're out of mine You lie awake and I sleep just fine You've done your sowing Now you can do your reaping Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
What became of what's-her-name After she spent all your money Did she leave you just like you left me Well sometimes life is funny But I'll be glad to take you back Just as soon as I stop breathing Maybe you should've thought about that (Repeat Two Times) When you were cheatin' When you were cheatin'

Chorus: We just need a little earth to stand on Plant our hearts on solid ground Turn the lights out on this city And wake up in a new hometown We'll stand out in our front yard Where we can finally breathe If we find a little hearth to stand on Baby you and me

Need a little earth to stand on Plant our hearts on solid ground Turn the lights out on this city And wake up in a new hometown We can dance out in our front yard Underneath a maple tree If we find a little earth to stand on Baby you and me
You'll Always Be My Baby (Sara Evans/Tony Martin/Tom Shapiro)
There I was Ten years old Waiting in my room for him to come home And I just knew He'd be so mad Though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad There was no denying I had let him down But instead of being angry he put his arms around me And said
Chorus: In the sunlight or the rain Brightest nights or darkest days I'll always feel the same way Whatever road you may be on Know you're never too far-gone My love is there wherever you may be Just remember that you'll always be my baby

Roll Me Back in Time (Sheryl Crow/John Shanks)
He was just a boy of seventeen And I was older by a year We spent everything we ever made To get away from here
We got married in the winter time At the Open Doors Cafe No matter how he tried, he couldn't find the peace of mind to stay
Chorus: All the glitter out in Hollywood All the stars that never shine They can't hold a candle to your wind Could you roll me, roll me back in time
Got a job and worked the early shift I spent hours by the phone Promises are easy to forget When there's too much time alone

Repeat Chorus
Bridge: Just this side of sunrise, you can feel it in the air That something's bound to happen It's just right there Everybody loves you, it's so easy to see But it's only, yeah, it's only in your dreams

Chorus: I love the way you touch me You know my body so well You do much more than love me 'Til I'm overwhelmed Wrapped up inside of you Is where I wanna be 'Cause nobody knows, nobody knows The secrets that we keep
Once we get inside these four walls All the hesitation falls We can't wait no more And as you help me get undressed You don't have to guess Baby, you know what I want I wanna love you 'til the sun comes up 'Til I'm sure you're satisfied Oh baby
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: Oh wrapped up inside of you Is where I wanna be 'Cause nobody knows, nobody knows Nobody knows, nobody knows The secrets that we keep
Bible Song (Lori McKenna)
No strangers in this town Nobody moves without making a sound You live and die within the borders and lines No one dies without paying their fines
No lovers in this town The moon's full, but it sure ain't round Just because you lie in his bed Don't mean he meant the things he said
First Chorus: They marry young in these parts They work the factories So I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods So no one would sing some bible song over me
My cousin died in his sleep Forty pills, two kids to keep How will she explain to those kids About the sorry thing Daddy did
They marry young in these parts They raise their kids and set them free So I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods So no one would sing some bible song over me
They buried him out in the cold He was only twenty-four years old How his mother came undone When the choir sang 'Hallelujah'
Chorus: I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods Yeah, I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods
Come tell me something new about you baby I've been wondering if there's something I can do for you You and me may not always agree on the little things But I am open always, hoping you'll come tell me
I have loved you from the moment you touched me Through the hard times and the sunshine I have loved you
Come lay down, let's be found
Chorus: Sing me a love song I wanna stay right here in your arms through the night I don't wanna be selfish I wanna give you anything you want from me So tell me
Put your heart out, lay it all out on the line Let me take it while we're making love tonight
You're the one thing in my life that stays the same Through all the seasons Everlasting, never changing You're the one thing
I love my life, love my husband Without those kids, man I ain't nothin' I love my fans, love my band Love my little Tennessee piece of land Sometimes my life can get so hectic And out of the blue, when I least suspect it Somewhere between the hubbub and the drama I get to thinking 'bout Mama and
Chorus: I'm caught up in missing Missouri 'Cause I wanna be with my family Instead of stuck out on this road I'm on Every time my bus wheels hit the boot heel There's no limelight, and I'm alright 'Cause I'm almost home Where they love me, where they know me Where they show me back in Missouri
The road just ain't no place for whiners It's motels, truck stops, all-night diners Hoping that your song'll sell And having to smile when it ain't doing well So when everything gets too much And I feel like just giving up I close my eyes and say a little prayer And it's like I'm there and
Bridge: Late summer nights sneakin' out the window Me and the girls driving down the back roads Tobacco fields and bumblebees And the Cardinals playing on TV
Momma's Night Out (Sara Evans/Marcus Hummon/Darrell Scott)
Well, you never buy me flowers Hey, did you hear what I said I'll be dancin' barefeet while you put the kids to bed
Now take a good look, darlin' At the smile on my face It's been a long, hard week and I'm ready to play
Well, take a big whiff, honey Of my sweet perfume 'Cause it's the only thing left of me in this room
Chorus: 'Cause I'm alright now (Got a little money and the gas tank's full) Yeah, I'm alright now (Me and the girls in the Coupe Deville) Babe, I'm alright Well, Daddy's doin' dishes 'cause it's Momma's night out, yeah
Well, you can be a couch potato Drinkin' beer and eatin' chips While I put a little Wet 'N Wild on my lips So take a picture of me honey 'Cause I look so fine You got your night and I got mine
Repeat Chorus TwiceThese Four Walls (Sara Evans/Matt Evans/Troy Verges)
Wasn't that long ago I was skipping to school with a lunchbox Pigtails in my hair Where did the time go One minute I'm playing in the sandbox How'd I get to here from there Making lunches and folding clothes Is not the most glamorous life I know But I've got so much more than most
Chorus: I'm not famous but my kids think I'm a star I'm not rich but I've made a million memories so far I may not be a model But my man thinks I could be I may not be from royalty But in these four walls I'm the queen
I had it all planned First I'd make it big in Nashville Then take Hollywood by storm But it was in God's hands There were three little lives that would need me To one day be their mom I wouldn't trade it for anything Those movies stars don't have everything And I know I'm right where I wanna be
Repeat Chorus
I had to let it go, but I have no regrets I would have never known this kind of happiness
Do you ever feel caged Locked up like a bird Do you ever feel the weight Of this whole world I look across my field Searching for a sign For the winds to change And free this heart of mine
Chorus: Ooh, when the black crow flies Cries out a warning to my soul Lift above your sorrow and Don't let it take control, take control And let your spirit rise Rise
When the sun's setting down And it can't hold back the night In my tears I could drown I can't swim to the light Will you reach in the water Save me from the tide Be my sanctuary Up on the mountainside
Repeat Chorus Twice
Do you ever feel caged Locked up like a bird Do you ever feel the weight Of this whole world
Best Days Are Coming (Ed Hill/Shaye Smith)
The seeds are planted and the sun is shining The paycheck's in the mail The weekend's around the corner And the house we want's for sale
A new movie's coming out on Friday An old friend is back in town And that smile you thought I'd lost Well, it's been found
Chorus: The best days are coming The best days are coming, baby They'll be like nothing we've ever seen Made for living, laughing and loving The best days are coming For you and me
Ain't it something how the kids are growing I wish we could keep 'em young But it's fun to watch and wonder What they'll become
A few years they'll up and move on With luck, we'll still have our health Along with a few grandbabies And the house to ourselves
Repeat Chorus
When the shadow's long and the sun is setting And we've given all we have We'll let go, but we both know It's no time for being sad, oh
Repeat Chorus TwiceRockin' Horse (Sara Evans, Matt Evans, Marcus Hummon)
The rocking horse came From an old oak tree Just missed the house When it was hit by lightning My daddy painted that horse a midnight blue Shooting stars and silver horseshoes
And it was something magic out of something frightening That's how I live my life I take it as it comes And I find the hidden love When it's pouring down on me In my mind I see the rocking horse Inside the tree
A broken heart means deeper feelings A thorn in the flesh means room for healing Oh, salt in your tears can open your eyes Wounded years make you realize
It's just something magic out of something frightening That's how I live my life I take it as it comes And I find the hidden love When it's pouring down on me In my mind I see the rocking horse Inside the tree
Ooh, things aren't always as they seem Ooh, take the nightmare from my dreams
That's how I live my life I take it as it comes And I find the hidden love When it's pouring down on me In my mind I see the rocking horse Inside the tree Oh, the tree Yeah, the tree Oh, the tree
Backseat of a Greyhound Bus (Chris Lindsey/Hillary Lindsey/Aimee Mayo/Troy Verges)
She wore a dress with cherries on it Going somewhere where she'd be wanted In a town this small all they do is talk No wedding ring, chipped fingernail polish She always wished that she could go to college But some dreams fade, they just slip away She started to show a few months ago And she had to go, that's how she wound up
Chorus 1 On the backseat of a Greyhound bus Head hung down with the windows up Staring at the rest of her life She never thought this would be the place Where she would find her saving grace But she fell in love, she fell in love On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
The moon was full, the stars were smilin' God has a funny sense of timin' The baby came on the interstate Somewhere between Jackson and Memphis She finally found what she had been missin' She cried and laughed while the red lights flashed
Sweet baby girl, she looked into the face of a new The face of a brand new world
Chorus 2 On the backseat of a Greyhound bus Heart so full that it could bust Starin' at the rest of her life She never thought this would be the place Where she would find her saving grace But she fell in love, she fell in love On the backseat of a Greyhound bus
Sweet baby girl, she found a brand new world
Repeat chorus 2
She wore a dress with cherries on it Going somewhere where she'd be wanted
Restless (Jeremy Stover/Willie Mack)
1st Verse
I'm a leaf on the river Fallen from the tall oak tree Drifting down this moving stream Wherever this life carries me I'm a tumbleweed In the desert wind Just tumblin' While the sun's shinin' I have no boundaries Call me a gypsy
Chorus
I'm restless Just ramblin' What do you do, where do you go When nowhere feels like home I'm restless
2nd Verse
Am I an angel Fallen from heaven's grace Oh, it feels like that some days And I can't find my place I guess God just made some of us To live and die by highway dust Guess I just have to trust On the days I'm crawlin' This is my callin'
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Oh, to hold somebody close that cares Oh, to finally find some roots somewhere I know someday I'll find that it's out there But until then, I'll just keep movin'
Standing at the edge of this cliff Gravity being what it is I'm afraid that I might stumble Cause I've never been this high And I'm so carried away by this place And the simple beauty of your face When the walls start to crumble And I'm helpless to fight
Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine And no one's ever found a way to stop time Oh baby it's unstoppable I can't resist at all I would never try to slow down the wind Baby it just has to be what it is And asking me not to love you Is like asking Niagara not to fall
I can't worry my heart with what if Maybe I should just give in And wrap myself around you And let you take me down, take me down
Cause you can't ask the sun not to shine And no one's ever found a way to stop time Oh baby it's unstoppable I can't resist at all I would never try to slow down the wind Baby it just has to be what it is And asking me not to love you Is like asking Niagara not to fall Hoo, yeah, yeah, yeah
No you can't ask the sun not to shine No one's ever found a way to stop time Oh baby it's unstoppable I can't resist at all I would never try to slow down the wind Baby it just has to be what it is And asking me not to love you Is like asking Niagara not to fall Hoo, yeah, not to fall
Rain, rain, rain down on me Wash, wash, wash over me Fall, fall, fall into me
Perfect (Sara Evans/Tom Shapiro/Tony Martin)
1st Verse
If you don't take me to Paris On a lover's getaway It's all right, it's all right If I'd rather wear your t-shirt Than a sexy negligé It's all right, it's all right Every dinner doesn't have to be candlelit It's kinda nice to know that it doesn't have to be
Chorus
Perfect Baby every little piece Of the puzzle doesn't always fit Perfectly Love can be rough around the edges Tattered at the seams But honey if it's good enough for you It's good enough for me
2nd Verse
If your mother doesn't like The way I treat her baby boy It's all right, it's all right If in every wedding picture My daddy looks annoyed It's all right, it's all right Don't you know that all the fairy tales tell a lie Real love and real life doesn't have to be
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
You don't mind if I show up late for everything When you lose your cool it's kinda cute to me Ain't it nice to know that we don't have to be
(Repeat Chorus)
You're good enough for me, uh huh Yeah, you're good enough for me Oh, you're good enough for me, yeah oh

I've held it all together As long as I can There's pieces of me fallin' Right into your hands And don't the lies come easy baby When the truth just ain't worth the fight No I, I don't wanna go home tonight
So lay me down easy And hold on tight And tell me I'm the only one you see tonight Lonely woman, lonely man There's just some things only lonely understands I might be just a sinner Who wants to be a saint One justifies the reason Oh, one understands the pain And I don't know what's wrong baby And I sure don't know what's right But I don't wanna go home tonight
So lay me down easy And hold on tight And tell me I'm the only one you see tonight Lonely woman, lonely man There's just some things only lonely understands

Suds in the Bucket (Billy Montana/Tammy Wagoner)
She was in the backyard They say it was a little past nine When her prince pulled up A white pick up truck Her folks should've seen it comin' It was only just a matter of time Plenty old enough And you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door "Sorry, but I got to go" That was all she wrote Her mama's heart was broke That was all she wrote So the story goes
Now her daddy's in the kitchen Starin' out the window Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains How could eighteen years just up and walk away Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman Now she's gone in the blink of an eye She left the suds in the bucket And the clothes hangin' out on the line
Now don't you wonder what the preacher's Gonna preach about Sunday morn Nothin' quite like this Has happened here before Well, he must have been a looker Smooth talkin' son of a gun For such a grounded girl to just up and run Course you can't fence time And you can't stop love
Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop Gossip goin' non-stop Sippin' on pink lemonade How could eighteen years just up and walk away Our little pony-tailed girl Growed up to be a woman Now she's gone in the blink of an eye She left the suds in the bucket And the clothes hangin' out on the line (yee hoo)
She's got her pretty little bare feet Hangin' out the window And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight How could eighteen years just up and walk away Our little pony-tailed girl Growed up to be a woman Now she's gone in the blink of an eye She left the suds in the bucket And the clothes hangin' out on the line She left the suds in the bucket And the clothes hangin' out on the line
She was in the backyard They say it was a little past nine When her prince pulled up A white pick up truck Plenty old enough And you can't stop love No you can't fence time And you can't stop love
Born to Fly (Sara Evans/Marcus Hummon/Darrell Scott)
I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow 'Bout the places that I'd like to see I said, friend do you think I'll ever get there Ah, but he just stands there smilin' back at me
So I confessed my sins to the preacher About the love I've been prayin' to find Is there a brown eye'd boy in my future, yeah He says, "Girl you've got nothin' but time"
But how do you wait for heaven And who has that much time And how do you keep your feet on the ground When you know, that you were born, you were born to fly
My daddy, he's grounded like the oak tree My momma, she is steady as the sun Oh you know I love my folks But I keep starin' down the road Just lookin' for my one chance to run
Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird I will blow in the wind like a sea I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free
Oh, how do you wait for heaven And who has that much time And how do you keep your feet on the ground When you know, that you were born You were born yeah You were born to fly
So how do you wait for heaven And who has that much time And how do you keep your feet on the ground When you know that you were born You were born to fly, fly, fly, fly
Saints and Angels (Victoria Banks)
We're only human, baby We walk on broken ground We lose our way We come unwound We'll turn in circles, baby We're never satisfied We'll fall from grace Forget we can fly But through all the tears that we cried We'll survive
Cause when we're torn apart Shattered and scarred Love has the grace to save us We're just two tarnished hearts When in each other's arms We become saints and angels.
I love your imperfections I love your everything Your broken heart, your broken wings I love you when you hold me And when you turn away I love you still and I'm not afraid Cause I know you feel the same way And you'll stay
Cause when we're torn apart Shattered and scarred Love has the grace to save us We're just two tarnished hearts When in each other's arms We become saints and angels.
These feet of clay (these feet of clay) They will not stray
Cause when we're torn apart Shattered and scarred Love has the grace to save us We're just two tarnished hearts When in each other's arms We become saints and angels. Saints and angels

I Learned that From You (Jess Brown/Tony Lane)
I remember the windows rolled down and the wind in my hair Driving 'round in your Daddy's old Chevy Like we were going somewhere
We thought that summer would last us forever Going steady was just something you do I didn't know much about love I learned that from you

When the day goes down on the water town When the sun sinks low all around That's when I know I need you now Yeah, you're what I miss Every little kiss Every little one, every little one
Everybody here's a number, not a name But I guess that's alright with me As I sit alone after a long day In the absence of company Oh, I let my mind wander A thousand miles away What I wouldn't give for only one night A little relief in sight Or someday when times weren't so tight
When the day goes down on the water town When the sun sinks low all around That's when I know I need you now Yeah, you're what I miss Every little kiss Every little one, every little one

No Place that Far (Sara Evans/Tom Shapiro/Tony Martin) (Duet with Vince Gill)
I can't imagine, any greater fear Then waking up, without you here, And though the sun, will still shine on, My whole world, would all be gone, But not for long,
If I had to run, if I had to crawl If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls, Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are, There's no place that far
It wouldn't matter why we're apart, Lonely minds or two stubborn hearts Nothing short of God above Could turn me away from your love I need you that much
If I had to run, if I had to crawl If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls, Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are, There's no place that far
If I had to run, if I had to crawl If I had to swim a hundred rivers, just to climb a thousand walls, Always know that I will find a way, to get to where you are, There's no place that far
I never wanted to, but I said goodbye to you It happens, people change Sometimes their dreams go separate ways They say all good things must end Still someday I thought I'd see your face again
I understand, I realize It was the end of all those nights (With) you here in my arms, just the pounding of two hearts Now that's all gone with the wind Still someday I thought I'd see your face again
(Oh) I've gotta phone, but no way to get a hold of you I've got a letter, no address that I can send it to
Tonight I'll look out to the stars Can't help but wonder where you are So much space and time between all those used to be's I know life goes on, but then Still someday I thought I'd see your face again I know life goes on, but then Still someday I thought I'd see your face again
Fool, I'm a Woman (Sara Evans/ Matraca Berg)
Use to think that I would be so sad. If you ever walked away. Use to think I needed you so bad. Did I say that I'd never leave you behind? Well, just keep treating me unkind 'cause fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.
With a woman it's imperative you show her that you love her. If you don't it's her prerogative to change like the weather. I'm seeing the signs. You know I use to think love was blind. Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.
You use to tell me so many nights. You don't deserve me. Well, maybe you were right.
Yesterday you offered me the world. Did you think I'd take it? Now you treat me like some silly girl. Yeah, and that's where I'm drawing the line. You know I use to think you were so fine. Well, fool I'm a woman and bound to change my... Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm about to change my... Well, fool I'm a woman and I just changed my mind. And I'm about to change my mind
Time Won't Tell (Beth Nielsen Chapman, Harlan Howard)
Can't believe that after all this time You keep slipping back across my mind Did we maybe leave the love behind afraid of what we felt Other loves I've had have come and gone I don't know why, they just don't last too long There are questions that go on and go That time won't tell
Time won't tell me how it might have been And time won't make what's wrong alright It can only take me back again Feeling all those memories in black and white
I watch his kiss good-bye that day Heres where you turn around and walk away Where were the words that would have made you stay Time won't tell
No, time won't tell me how it might have been And time won't make what's wrong alright It can only take me back again Feeling all those memories in black and white
You never see the road you didn't take You never feel the love you failed to make But you never know might be the words to say And time won't tell Time won't tell
The Knot Comes Untied (Sam Hogin/Ron Harbin/Ed Hill)
She's a got a Rand McNally map And a tank full of gasoline Yeah love's been headin south And now she's heading out of New Orleans She throws her last picture out the window near the Louisiana line She's somewhere between dreaming and leaving old feelings behind As the knot comes untied
Her heart is running scared She's says a silent prayer Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night There's memories like mountains and each one gets hard to climb As the knot comes untied
On one hand she wonders if what she is doing is wrong Cause it sure is a long stretch of highway between goin and gone She's been down this road a thousand times in her mind But what's done is done She won't turn around this time As the knot comes untied
Her heart is running scared She's says a silent prayer Lord I'm counting on you to help me get through this night There's memories like mountains and each one gets hard to climb As the knot comes untied
She's got Rand McAlly map And a tank full of gasoline
Love, Don't Be a Stranger (Mary Sharon Rice/Bill Rice)
Love I haven't seen you in a long time Since then I ain't been worth a dime Hasn't been that long But it feels like years Last time it could have worked out better But you know we belong together Love don't be a stranger round here
You know your way around my heart But I know you don't see well in the dark So I leave a light on and you won't get scared In the morning or even at midnight You can come on in its all right Love don't be a stranger Don't worry bout the danger Love don't be a stranger round here
Last time you went away You made me cry, cry, cry Said I didn't need you anyway But I lied, lied, lied Love don't be a stranger Don't worry bout the danger Love don't be a stranger round here
Love I'm a little bit smarter And I'll try a little bit This time I won't wind up in tears Love now that we're talking Maybe you'll come around more often Love don't be a stranger Don't worry about the danger Don't be a stranger round
Last time you went away You made me cry, cry, cry Said I didn't need you anyway But I lied, lied, lied Love don't be a stranger Don't worry bout the danger Love don't be a stranger round here
These Days (Sara Evans/Billy Yates)
These days seem like years When the nights are spent in tears Tomorrow seems a lifetime away These days, these days
Ever since you said good-bye The hands on the clock just take their time I wonder if they always will Cause the minute that you left me Time stood still
These days seem like years When the nights are spent in tears Tomorrow seems a lifetime away These days, these days
The pillow where you used to dream Is right where you left it When you loved me Will I touch your face again I'll keep hoping but until then
These days seem like years When the nights are spent in tears Tomorrow seems a lifetime away These days, these days
Oh tomorrow seems a lifetime away These days, these days

There's Only One (Sara Evans/Leslie Satcher)
Ain't got no money No place to sleep No one has ever been down as me I'm just a stranger trouble at my feet But through all my trials It occurs to me
There's only one There's only one There's only one thing that matters Its God's love

True Lies (Sara Evans/Al Anderson/Sharon Rice)
I look into those blue eyes Something happens to me Although I know again tonight I'll hear nothing but true lies
That string of broken hearts all over town Should be enough to tell me I should be turning you down, then
I look into those blue eyes Something happens to me Although I know again tonight I'll hear nothing but true lies
True lies will hurt me less than losing you So darling lie to me When I get lost in those blue eyes
I should know better than to let you in We're just beginning And I can already see the end, when
I look into those blue eyes Something happens to me Although I know again tonight I'll hear nothing but true lies
Shame About That (Sara Evans/Jamie O'Hara)
I heard the word goin' round Somebody said she's leavin' town Packed up her bags and left you flat Shame about that
Somebody said they saw her cryin' Said she was through with all your lyin' Said wild horses couldn't drag her back Shame about that
Well excuse me for my lack of sympathy I don't mean to be cruel But it sounds like the same kind of thing you did to me Back when I played the fool So, don't bother knockin' on my door 'Cause I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole You dug your grave now lay on back Shame about that

Three Chords & the Truth (Sara Evans/Ron Harbin/Aimee Mayo)
On a highway bound for nowhere I ran my fingers through my tangled hair As I pulled in for another tank of freedom With a hundred miles behind me And a million more to go I was tryin' to put some distance between us
I turned on the radio And a voice came over sweet and low And I didn't know the tears were gonna start But what amazed me even more Is I'd never heard that song before But somehow I knew each word by heart
And I don't know why, I don't know how But with his song he turned my life and This old car around Just when I thought I was over you He changed my life with three chords and the truth
Found a pay phone at a truck stop Said a prayer as the quarter dropped Oh, please be home, I know that I was wrong Honey, don't talk, just listen I think I found what I was missin' In a song I heard tonight on a radio
And I don't know why, I don't know how But with his song he turned my life and This old car around Just when I thought I was over you He changed my life with three chords and the truth
Just when I thought I was over you He changed my mind with three chords and the truth

Well I laid awake in bed last night rehearsin' What I'd say if we should meet by chance I'd tell you now that I'm the one who's hurtin' over you And I'd give anything to have you back

I Don't Want to See the Light (Sara Evans/Bill Rice/Sharon Rice)

I've Got a Tiger by the Tail (Buck Owens/Harland Howard)
I've got a tiger by the tail It's plain to see I won't be much when you get through with me Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, I thought the day I met you You were meek as a lamb Just the kind to make my dreams and plans But now the pace we're livin' Takes the wind from my sail Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail It's plain to see I won't be much when you get through with me Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Every night you drag me where The bright lights are found There ain't no way to slow you down I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
I've got a tiger by the tail It's plain to see I won't be much when you get through with me Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Unopened (Leslie Winn Satcher)
There's a key in a letter unopened Buried back in an old dresser drawer There's a name stained with tears on that letter One that I'm sure I've never seen before
There's no date on that letter unopened My guess is it's faded with years And I can't sleep at night now for wonderin' How long has that secret been hiding here
Did you love someone, lose someone Leave someone waiting Is there somebody's heart out there You could have taken The letter says it all Though the words go unspoken You loved me enough to leave it unopened
There's a love that is trust without reason There's a faith that leaves questions unasked And though my heart has searched for the answer I love you too much for these lips to ask
Did you love someone, lose someone Leave someone waiting Is there somebody's heart out there You could have taken The letter says it all Though the words go unspoken You loved me enough to leave it unopened
Oh, the letter says it all Though the words go unspoken And, I love you enough to leave it unopened
Walk Out Backwards (Bill Anderson)
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall And life without your love just isn't life at all
So walk out backwards if you must go But please don't wave goodbye Just wave one last hello The truth won't hurt so much If I can just pretend So walk out backwards And I'll think you're walking in
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy And from that day down to this You've walked all over me And now you're walking out to love somebody new But you're not by yourself 'Cause my heart's leaving too
So walk out backwards if you must go But please don't wave goodbye Just wave one last hello The truth won't hurt so much If I can just pretend So walk out backwards And I'll think you're walking in
The Week the River Raged (Sara Evans/John Bettis/Jim Rushing)
The river ran through Howard County It was the life blood of the land It make fields of green tobacco Aching backs and callused hands Mama talked of a coming battle That the women folk had to fight 'Cause the good lord owned the daytime But the devil seemed to own the night
Well, it came up out of nowhere From a dark and bitter seed It was the roughest kind of roadhouse And a most unwanted weed It drew the men folk like a magnet The women knew what they had to do So they put it in the hands of Jesus 'Cause they knew that he'd come through
And the rains came and the river swelled And the more they prayed the more it fell When the levies broke everybody saw The awesome power of God Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came To bring a brighter day 'Cause when the flood hit Howard County All the sins were washed away
Now the mothers tell the story Of the week that the river raged It's the passing of the wisdom To the ears of tender age Better walk the straight and narrow Better keep a watchful eye 'Cause there's a symbol of the wrath of Heaven In every dark cloud in the sky
And the rains came and the river swelled And the more they prayed the more it fell When the levies broke everybody saw The awesome power of God Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came To bring a brighter day 'Cause when the flood hit Howard County All the sins were washed away
You Ought to Know by Now (Sara Evans/Marcus Hummon)
You say, "Do you love me?" Like you really wonder You say, "Do you need me?" Like I'm going under Like if you sank down deep I would not pull you through And if you were lost in the woods I would not come find you
Chorus: Well baby you, you oughta know by now That I've been loving you since I first learned how To open my mouth and speak The first game of hide and seek I said, "Look at this shiny thing that I have found" Baby you, you oughta know by, you, you oughta know my love by now
You say, "Stay forever" Like I'm going somewhere You say, "Don't forget me" Like I won't remember All the midnights and the mornings wide awake Just memorizing the trace of your sweet face
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: You've got to have a little faith in me You have got to believe
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh baby you oughta know by now For so long, so long, so long, oh yeah You oughta know by now You oughta know by now
Brooklyn & Austin (Sara Evans/Darrell Brown/Radney Foster)
Well her momma named her Brooklyn Lord only knows why She's never been east of the Mississippi Raised here all her life Just a small town Texas girl Dreaming of the lights of New York City But if she can't ever get there Maybe someday her baby will
Well he never been to Texas But he knew down in his soul He was born to be a cowboy Riding in the rodeo So he named his boy Austin Plants a cactus in his Brownstone window sill But if he never gets west of Jersey Maybe someday Austin will

(Repeat Chorus)
Said if you're willing to fuel the fire Forever you will never, never be the same Oh, never be the same No, no, no, never be the same Never be the same

Chorus: You can eat crackers in my bed anytime, baby You can kick off all the covers in the middle of the night You can sleep with the window open wide Do anything as long as you're by my side You can eat crackers in my bed anytime
I should be happy No dishes to wash now but my own No clothes to pick up A double bed to myself now that you're gone Oh but it's lonely I'm sorry I ever let you go It's a matter of fact I've got to have you back I just want you to know...

Here Without You (Brad Arnold/Matthew Darrick Roberts/Robert Todd Harrell/Christopher Lee Henderson) (Duet with 3 Doors Down)
A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
Chorus: I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me

Old Blue Mountain (John Rich/Kenny Alphin) (With John Rich)
Oh the blue sea stretched out before me Is not half as big as my burden But soon it will lift from my shoulders The sun’s gonna shine on my garden
Chorus: Someday when I’m not so weary And I’ve left this valley of trouble behind Someday I’ll reach my destination When that old blue mountain ain’t too tall to climb
The distance from here to my paradise Is jagged and long but I’ll make it And the hard times will just keep me humble So my feet won’t stumble on the way there
They say, to have her hair done, Liz flies all the way to France And Jackie's seen in a discothèque, doin' a brand new dance And the White House social season should be glittering and gay But here in Topeka, the rain is a fallin' The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin' One of 'em a-toddlin' and one is a crawlin' And one's on the way
I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act While the TV's showin' Newlyweds, a real fun game to play But here in Topeka, the screen door's a bangin' The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin' One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' And one's on the way
Now, what was I doin'? Jimmy get away from there Darn, there goes the phone Hello honey. What's that you say You're bringin' a few ole buddies home? You're callin' from a bar? Get away from there! No, not you honey, I was talkin' to the baby Wait a minute, honey, the door bell Honey, could you stop at the market and... Hello? Hello? Well I'll be
The girls in New York City, they all march for women's lib And Better Homes and Garden shows, the modern way to live And the pill may change the world tomorrow, but meanwhile, today Here in Topeka, the flies are a buzzin' The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin' One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord, one's on the way
Oh gee, I hope it ain't twins again!
I Never Needed You (Richie McDonald/Tommy Lee James) (Duet with Lonestar)
Here I am again Starin' at these unfamilar walls Of some hotel so far from home I try my best to sleep I close my eyes but all this peace an' quiet Just reminds me I'm alone Let me hear your voice on the wind Let me feel your touch on my skin
Chorus: I never wanted you the way I want you now I would give anything to see your arms reach out I never hurt like this or felt the emptiness I feel inside I never needed you like I need you tonight
All I think about Is how sweet you looked standin' in the doorway Smilin' while I brushed away your tears An' all I dream about Is the next time I can hold you An' I can show you all the love I'm feelin' here All I know (All I know) Is I can't wait (I can't wait) My body trembles, my heart aches
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
New Again (Sara Evans/Brad Paisley) (Duet with Brad Paisley)
Mother - do not cry for me All of this is exactly how it's supposed to be I'm right here. Can you hear my voice? My life, my love, my Lord....my baby boy
As they nail me to this tree Just know my Father waits for me God how can this be your will? To have your son and my son killed?
Whatever happens...whatever you see... Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me This is not... Not the end... I am making all things new again
I remember when you were born In that manger where I first held You in my arms So many miracles and lives you've changed And this world repays you how? With all this pain
Sweet By and By (Sanford Bennett/Joseph Webster)
There's a land that is fairer than day And by faith we can see it afar For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there
Refrain In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore
We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blessed And our spirits shall sorrow no more Not a sigh for the blessing of rest
(Refrain)
To our bountiful Father above We will offer our tribute of praise For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis And each night begins a new day If you don't understand him, and he don't die young He'll probably just ride away
Chorus: Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love
Cowboys like smoky old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do Sometimes won't know how to take him He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him Do things to make you think he's right
(Repeat Chorus)
Words Are Your Wheels (Phil Vassar/Julie Wood) (With Various Artists)
A little boy eight years old In a semi-circle eyes aglow Our teacher told us stories everyday Huck Finn on the Mississippi Fire breathin' dragons with my friends with me From our homeroom to the Milky Way We were lost among the pages And in the voice of Mrs. Davis She said
Words are your wheels To take you anywhere you feel Where you can laugh or you can cry Let your imagination fly Let it lead you where it will Your mind is an automobile And words are your wheels
There's an old man with all he's done In his ninety-eight laps around the sun Somehow he never learned to read or write And there's a kind soul who's had the pleasure Of helping him tie the words together It's never too late to change a life Now there's a smile on his face And there's a young heart Standing in his place
Words are your wheels To take you anywhere you feel Where you can laugh or you can cry Let your imagination fly And let it lead you where it will Your mind is an automobile And words are your wheels
Don't need a rocket ship No red balloon to take a trip The pages on your fingertips alone Will take you where you want to go
Words are your wheels Words are your wheels To take you anywhere you feel Where you can laugh or you can cry Let your imagination fly Let it take you where it will Your mind is an automobile And words are your wheels Yeah, words are your wheels Oh, words are your wheels Hooooooo
Go Tell It On The Mountain (Traditional)
Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night Behold through out the Heavens There shown a Holy light
So go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born
Oh, down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born God sent to us salvation That blessed Christmas morn'
So go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born (Yeah) Oh, tell everybody, everywhere Go tell the world That Jesus Christ is born Jesus Christ is born (Yeah) Oh Christ is born (Yeah) Hallelujah, Oh... Oh Christ is born (Yeah) Oh...Tell the world
Are You Tired of Me, Darling (GR Cook/Ralph Roland) (Duet with Ralph Stanley)
Are you tired of me, my darling Did you mean those words you said When you spoke in warm affection On the day that we were wed
Tell me could you live life over Would you make it otherwise Are you tired of me, my darling Answer only with your eyes
Now do you think I've proven false-hearted Since the day when we first met Oh when you said that you would love me The words my heart could ner' forget
Tell me could you live life over Would you make it otherwise Are you tired of me, my darling Answer only with your eyes
Tell me could you live life over Would you make it otherwise Are you tired of me, my darling Answer only with your eyes
Mary of the Wild Moor (Joseph W. Turner)
On a cold winter's night As the winds blew across the wild moor Poor Mary came wandering home with her child 'Til she came to her own father's door
Papa oh Papa she cried Come down and open the door Or the child in my arms Will perish and die From the winds that blow across the wild moor
But the old man was deaf to her cries And not a sound of her voice did he hear While the watchdog did howl And the village bell tolled The winds blew across the wild moor
Oh how the old man must have felt When he came to the door the next morn' And he found Mary dead But the child yet alive Clutched close to his dead mother's breast
Now the old man in grief pined away And the babe to its mother went soon And no one they say Has lived there to this day And the cottage is left to ruin
Now the villagers point out the place Where the ivy grows over the door Saying there Mary died Once a fair village bride From the winds that blew across the wild moor From the winds that blew across the wild moor
That's the Beat of a Heart (Tena Clark/Tim Heintz) (With the Warren Brothers)
Sometimes it's hard to don't wanna look over your shoulder 'Cause you don't want to remember where you've been There'll come a time you die, If you could only hold her 'Cause I know that's where I am
So listen with all your heart Hold it inside forever You may find all your dreams have already come true Look inside and find the part that's leading you 'Cause that's the beat of a heart
Sometimes you'll drown it out with all your rage and thunder Sometimes you'll drown it out with all your tears There'll come a time when you hear it and you'll wonder Where in the world have I been?
So listen with all your heart Hold it inside forever You may find all your dreams have already come true Look inside and find the part that's leading you, 'Cause that's the beat of a heart No one can tell you how to get there It's a road you take all by yourself (All by yourself) All by yourself
So listen with all your heart Hold it inside forever You may find all your dreams have already come true Look inside and find the part that's leading you 'Cause that's the beat of Oh it's the sweetest sound, 'Cause that's the beat of a heart
Timbuktu
It's hidden deep, but plain to see It's known to all, but still a mystery It makes you dream when you're wide awake And you only get it, by giving it away
What is so very simple That words cannot define What happens in a moment Will last a lifetime
What takes two and makes them one In all the world, only love
It's meant to be, but never planned It's held in your heart, not in your hand It's everywhere, even Timbuktu But you cannot find it, until it looks for you
What is so very simple That words cannot define What happens in a moment Will last a lifetime
Almost new That's the way the whole world looks tonight That's the way you make me feel, and I Hope you feel it too
Brand new Everything can only be all right The future can't be anything but bright When the world is new
They tell you when you're young Your dreams will come undone The tears will fall Maybe for once they're wrong Maybe when love is strong You can have it all You can beat the odds
Almost new Don't ever say the word impossible Everything is exactly wonderful When your world is new
Way back a million years There was a garden here They burned it down Maybe before we're through We'll plant a garden too With this love we found On this Holy ground
Almost new Any way that's how it feels tonight Everything's gonna be alright Cause the world is new Yes it's almost new Almost new
I Don't Wanna Play House (Billy Sherrill/Glenn Sutton)
Today I sat alone at the window And I watched our little girl outside at play With a little boy next door Like so many times before But somethin' didn't seem quite right today So I went outside to see what they were doin' And the teardrops made my eyes grow dim Cause I heard him name the game And I hung my head in shame When I heard our little girl say to him
I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun I've watched mommy and daddy And if that's the way it's done I don't wanna play house It makes my mommy cry Cause when she played house My daddy said good-bye
I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun I've watched mommy and daddy And if that's the way it's done I don't wanna play house It makes my mommy cry Cause when she played house My daddy said good-bye I Never Really Knew You (Vince Gill) (With V. Gill)
Chorus: Well I never really knew you til you said goodbye You said it's finally over, here's the reasons why You said you've heard enough of all those little lies I never really knew you til you said goodbye
I thought I made you happy but you've proved me wrong I thought I was the one that really turned you on When I came home tonight all my things were gone I guess gettin' over me didn't take you long
(Repeat chorus twice)
Well, you said you'd heard enough of all those little lies I never really knew you til you said goodbye No I never really knew you til you said goodbye
The Distance Between You & Me (Dwight Yoakam)
Take a rock, tie a rope Throw it down in the sea Let if fall to the bottom Nobody knows how deep Stare real hard through the water And you might just perceive The distance between you and me The distance between you and me
Take a map of the world And measure with both hands All of the miles Across all of the land Write it down, add it up And you might understand About the distance between you and me The distance between you and me
I lie awake and hear you breathing Only inches from me in this bed Not much space but it's all that we needed To live alone now that our love is dead
Climb the earth's tallest mountain To where it reaches the sky Take a gun fire a bullet Straight up out of sight Where it stops in the heaven Well that ain't half as high As the distance between you and me The distance between you and me
Make a Miracle (Frank J. Myers/Gary Baker/Jerry Williams)
There are children in the world today That touch our lives in many ways With just a little smile Through their eyes, still believe in fairy tales Wishes from a wishing well, prayers worth miracles They give their hearts without a fear They trust without a doubt They teach us what true courage is all about
Take our hands and walk with us Feel the strength we get from love Dream that wishes do come true And make a miracle There is light in every heart There is hope in every day We have faith that we can overcome And make a miracle
All it takes is a thimble full of love And a reassuring hug to make a happy child But the future depends on you and me It's in giving we receive and in loving we are loved There are roads that twist and turn And mountains that stand tall But an ounce of faith can make a mountain fall
Repeat Chorus
No the world is not a perfect place But there's good behind every face It's time to pull together Love each other all around the world
(Children's Chorus) Take our hands, Walk with us, Share our dreams
There is light in every heart, there is hope in every day We can have faith that we can overcome And make a miracle
Make a miracle Make a miracle
Wrong Again (Tommy Lee James/Cynthia Weil) (With Martina McBride)

You (Brett James/Troy Verges)
If all my good fortune ended If my whole world came tumbling down And suddenly everything I'm sure of Came crashing to the ground My worst fears all came true If I lost every dream I ever knew
You Would be the faith that carries me You Would show me the grace to make me see the truth Whatever storm I fly into All I really need to get me through Is you
I can take my chances I can swing from the trapeze I'm not afraid of falling Cause I know that you'll catch me When my sky is running out of blue And when I just don't know what to do
You Would be the faith that carries me You Would show me the grace to make me see the truth Whatever storm I fly into All I really need to get me through Is you
And when I don't believe in anything And I'm spinning in a hurricane And the world is full of strangers I've got you
You Yea, yea, yea, yea Oh you Would be the faith that carries me through Would show me the grace to make me see the truth Whatever storm I fly into All I really need to get me through

I Only Have Eyes for You (Al Dubin/Harry Warren)
My love must be a kind of blind love I can't see anyone but you
Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright I only have eyes for you, Dear
The moon may be high But I can't see a thing in the sky I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden Or on a crowded avenue You are here, so am I Maybe millions of people go by But they all disappear from you And I only have eyes for you For you Dear I only have eyes For you
