SONG LIST:
The Time Has Come(Lonnie Wilson/Susan Longacre)
The time has come to let you go
My tears will run and they'll keep me afloat
I set you adrift like a burning boat
The time has come to let you goThe time has come to turn you loose
It took my heart this long to face the truth
If I lost you I can lose these blues
The time has come to turn you looseWe had our moment in the sun
But that time has come and now that time is goneThe time has come to set you free
Tonight's the night I'll untie all these dreams
I'll send them away so I can find some peace
The time has come to set you freeI'm gonna let you go
(Tony Haselden/Bob Alan)
There's a photo in an album he don't notice anymore
That's me, that's me
There's a stack of cards and letters buried deep inside a drawer
That's me, that's me
And the shirt that I once slept in hanging loose behind the door
Tossed aside so carelessly
That's me, Oh that's meThere's a picture in my wallet and one less faded in my mind
That's him, that's him
There's a name that always haunts me and it slips from time to time
That's him, that's him
There's a yearning that I feel in my heart and in my soul
An old flame that'll never dim
That's him, I know that's himChorus:
(That's me)
Hangin' on to the end
(That's me)
Starting all over again
(That's love)
Oh that's the way it goesThere's a woman in the chapel in the back row by herself
That's me, that's me
And a man at the altar says "I do" to someone else
That's him, that's him
As the wedding party leaves throwing rice and wishing well
A single tear falls silently
That's me, Oh Lord that's meOh, that's me
That's me
(Emory Gordon Jr./Jim Rushing)
He sits all alone in his easy chair
Staring back on his lost yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove her awayIn his hand he is holding her photograph
Her image all tear-stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the day he was bornChorus:
And the darkness still echoes her warning
You can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbyeSince the hour that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her love for a drinkRepeat Chorus
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye(Gretchen Peters)
Don't need no copy of vogue magazine
Don't need to dress like no
Beauty Queen
High heels or sneakers, he don't
give a damn
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He never tells me I'm not good enough
Just give me unconditional love
He loves me tender and he loves me mad
He loves me silly and he loves me sadChorus:
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I amAnd when there's dark clouds in my eyes
He just sits back and lets 'em roll on by
I come in like a lion go out like a lamb
My baby loves me just the way I am
My baby loves me just the way I amRepeat Chorus
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
Don't see no reason to change my plan
My baby loves me just the way I am
My baby loves me just the way I am
(Kostas/Tony Perez
Don't tell me no stories I don't
Want to hear no lies
No reason, or excuses,none of
Your alibis
The phone rings I pick it up nobody's
On the line
I know she's waiting for you she's
Just biding her time
You'd have me believe it's just a
Night out with your friends
But I know you're going back to see her againChorus:
You're stealing love
Living on life #9
Breaking my heart
Living on borrowed time
You're catting around
Playing with fire
You're stealing love
Living on life #9You're running on empty troubles
on every side
you've used up your last chance
You've got no place to hide
I'm tired of these heartaches tired
of living a lie
Go to her she's waiting
But someday you're gonna findThe grass ain't always greener on the other side
Now what you thought was love was what you left behindRepeat Chorus Twice
(Gretchen Peters)
Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
and I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence DayWell word gets a round in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
Mama was proud and she stood her ground
But she knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered and some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence DayChorus:
Let Freedom ring, let the wight dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a
Day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, Let the guilty pay, It's
Independence DayWell she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames
and took down some names
And send me to the county home
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence DayRepeat Chorus
Roll the stone away
It's Independence Day
(Paul Kennerley)
The way you treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause you've got heart trouble
Coming on
Yeah you got heart trouble coming on
Well you think that you don't meed me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm goneYou say that love can't touch you
You feel no pain at all
You think that you've above it baby
but I believe you'll fall
'cause you've got heart trouble coming on
Yeah you got heart trouble coming on
Well, you'll get down on your knees baby
Begging me to come back homeYou tell me you'll find someone else
But on one's gonna care
'cause you have left a trail
of broken heart everywhere
Now, you'll got heart trouble coming on
Yeah, You'll got heart trouble
coming on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone
(James House/Sam Hogin/Phil Barnhart)
She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave hime everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up to her
Give a little, then take it backShe'd tell him about her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
"You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground"
He said, "Only angels know how to fly"And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her flyOne Sunday morning
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin' in the breezeAnd with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her flyWith a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you ought to see her fly
