He Broke Your Memory Last Night
-----------------------------------------------------
Like a rare piece of crystal
Like a fine china cup
I kept your memory all safely locked up
Afraid I could never love somebody new
I was trying to save what I had left of you
Then he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little to right
He broke your memory last night
The moment he touched me with his gentle hand
Your memory crumbled like a house built on sand
He sweep all the pieces of your love away
And then he gave me his love to put in his place
'Cause he broke your memory last night
I felt it shatter inside
I guess he held me a little to right
He broke your memory last night
He broke your memory last night
How Blue
--------------------
How blue can you make me
How long till I heal
How can I go on loving you when your gone
How blue can I feel
Oh honey why did you leave me
Ain't you got a heart left in your chest
I swear to you that I'm dying
'Cause my mind won't let my body rest
How blue can you make me
How long till I heal
How can I go on loving you when your gone
How blue can I feel
If I sink any lower I'll go under
If I cry anymore I'll go blind
Lord there ain't no relief for this missing you grief
How long can you torture my mind
How blue can you make me
How long till I heal
How can I go on loving you when your gone
How blue can I feel
How can I go on loving you when your gone
How blue can I feel
Somebody Should Leave
------------------------------------
It sure gets quiet when the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence
Putting of what must be said
I read a book you watch TV
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad I don't know what I just read
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping some how we might need each other again
You say good night and turn and face the wall
We lay here in the darkness
And the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me
Good-bye might come more easily
What about those babies down the hall
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping some how we might need each other again
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We just keep hoping we might need each other again
Have I Got A Deal For You
-----------------------------------------
Well you look like the kind who's got a eye for a bargain
A kind of guy who likes to shop around
Well I got me this old heart that I'm puttin' on the market
And I'll make you a deal you can't turn down
Have I got a deal for you
A heart that's almost like brand new
And I'll let it go so cheap
You'll think you stole it before your threw
Have I got a deal for you
Well you could search the whole world over and never find another like it
It's got a built in lifetime gaurentee
It's a one time only offer and darling once you try it
Your goin' to fall in love with it you'll see
Have I got a deal for you
A heart that's almost like brand new
And I'll let it go so cheap
You'll think you stole it before your threw
Have I got a deal for you
Well sure I'll admit that it's been used a time or two
But have I got a deal for you
Only In My Mind
----------------------------
On the park bunch in the middle of July
We sat and watch the children play
If it was the heat or the noise he didn't have to much say
Then with a move of his eye's
A move that would of made the wind stand still
He took my hand in his
And said the words that I never will forget
He said have you every cheated on me
Has there been someone else
Is there someone you love more then me
Someone you can't forget
Get his memory in the open again let it be chased away by time
He said have you every cheated on me
And I said only on my mind
How can I tell him that the time we spent together was time between friends
There is just somethings that I can talk about with you
That I just can't talk to him
How can I tell him that some where in the cards
It was meant for us to meet
Why am I blushing in front of him now
Is it you or the heat
He said have you every cheated on me
Has there been someone else
Is there someone you love more then me
Someone you can't forget
Get his memory in the open again let it be chased away by time
He said have you every cheated on me
And I said only on my mind
Darling have you ever cheated on me
And I said only in my mind
Whoever's in New England
-------------------------------------------
You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts
Seems like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else be moving in the air up there
You say that it's important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
And each time duty calls you've got to give it all
You've got with all your heart
When whoever's in New England's through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know it's not too late cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When who ever's in New England's through with you
I hear the winter time up north can last forever
And I've been told it's beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you til the world you left behind just disappears I hear
I've packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again there's just one thing you ought to know
When the icy wind blows through you remember That's it's me
Who feels so cold most of all
When whoever's in New England's through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know it's not too late cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New England's through with you
Little Rock
---------------------
Married to the good life
I said I would be a good wife
When I put on this ring
I drive a new Mercedes
Play tennis with the ladies
And buy all the finer things
But all that don't mean nothing
When you can't get a good night's loving
Oh little rock
I think going to have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life then what I got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm going to find someone that really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Well I wonder if he'll miss me
He doesn't ever kiss me
When he comes home at night
Never calls me Honey but he sure loves his money
And I'm the one who pays the price
But when he finds this ring he'll see
He keeps everything but me
Oh little rock
I think going to have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life then what I got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm going to find someone that really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Oh little rock
I think going to have to slip you off
Take a chance tonight and untie the knot
There's more to life then what I got
Oh little rock
You know this heart of mine just can't be bought
I'm going to find someone that really cares a lot
When I slip off this little rock
Oh yea
Little rock yea
What Am I Gonna Do About You
---------------------------------------------------
The kid down the street mows the lawn every week
The neighbor next door fixed the roof where it leaked
The jobs going fine and the bills are all paid
And everyone thinks that I'm doin' ok
There's a guy down at work he's asked me out once or twice
I haven't said yes but I'm thinkin I might
Then on my way home I thought I saw you walk by
If only I could get you out of my mind
What in the world
Am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps comin' back from out of the blue
Oh well I've tried and I've tried
But I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
What am I gonna do about you
I went to the store but it wasn't much fun
It doesn't take long when your shoppin' for one
And standing in line I thought I saw you walk in
And that's when it started all over again
What in the world
Am I gonna do about you
Oh your memory keeps comin' back from out of the blue
Oh well I've tried and I've tried
But I still can't believe that we're through
So tell me what in the world am I gonna do about you
Darlin' what am I gonna do about you
One Promise Too Late
-------------------------------------
I would have waited forever
If I'd known that you'd be here
We could have shared our lives together
And held eachother close all through the years
But I met someone before you
And my heart just wouldn't wait
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind this promise that I made
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you when I gave my heart away
All my life, I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you
I can't have you but I never will forget you
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you when I gave my heart away
All my life, darling, I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
Where were you
When I could have loved you
Where were you when I gave my heart away
All my life, darling, I've been dreaming of you
You came along one promise too late
You came along one promise too late
Cathy's Clown
-------------------------
I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's Cathy's clown
You know you've got to stand tall
You know a man can't crawl
And when you let her tell you lies
And you let 'em pass you by
You're not a man at all
She don't want your loving anymore
She don't want your kisses that's for sure
Why do you let them put you down
And let 'em call you Cathy's clown
When you see me shed a tear
Then you know that I'm sincere
I just think it's kinda sad
That she's treating you so bad
And I'm the one who cares
I want your loving more and more
I want your kisses that's for sure
I die each time
I hear the sound
They're saying here he comes
He's Cathy's clown
You're Cathy's clown
You're Cathy's clown
Walk On
------------------
Oh ain't life wonderful
When everything is right
But sometimes wonderful
Can fall apart sometimes
And when your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground and
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light 'til you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
But even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through goodbye
And don't you ever break your stride and
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light 'til you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light 'til you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Ohhh walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on
For My Broken Heart
----------------------------------
There were no angry words at all
As we carried boxes down the hall
One by one we put them in your car
Nothing much for us to say
One last goodbye and you drove away
I watched your taillights
As they faded in the dark
I couldn't face the night in that lonely bed
So I laid down on the couch instead
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
Clocks still tickin, life goes on
Radio still plays a song
As I try to put my scattered thoughts in place
And it takes all the strength I've got
To stumble to the coffee pot
The first of many lonely mornings I have to face
You call to see if I'm ok
I look out the window and I just say
Last night I prayed the Lord my soul to keep
Then I cried myself to sleep
So sure life wouldn't go on without you
But oh this sun is blinding me
As it wakes me from the dark
I guess the world didn't stop
For my broken heart
I guess the world ain't gonna stop
For my broken heart
Is There Life Out There
-------------------------------------
She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now she's not so sure
She thought she'd done some livin'
But now she's just wonderin'
What she's livin' for
Now she's feelin' that there's something more
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin'
Is there life out there
She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how
To live for today
She's dyin' to try somethin' foolish
Do somethin' crazy
Or just get away
Somethin' for herself for a change
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin'
Is there life out there
There's a place in the sun that she's never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out her window and wonders again
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin'
Is there life out there
Oh is there life out there
Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin'
Is there life out there
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin'
Is there life out there
The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia
-------------------------------------------------------------
He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Web's and have him a drink for he went home to her
Andy Wo-Lo said hello
He said "Hi what's a doing"
Wo said "Sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt"
Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right
But your young bride ain't home tonight
Since you been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy Seth
Now he got mad and he saw red
Andy said boy don't you lose your head
'Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don't trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
Andy got scared and left the bar
Walking on home 'cause he didn't live far you see
Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one
Brother thought his wife must've left town
So he went home and finally found the only thing
Daddy had left him and that was a gun
He went off to Andy's house
Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse
Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
He looked through the screen at the back porch door
He saw Andy lying on the floor
In a puddle of blood and he started to shake
The Georgia patrol was making their rounds
So he fired a shot just to flag 'em down
And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said
"Why'd you do it?"
The judge said guilty on a make believe trial
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile and said
Suppers waiting at home and I gotta get to it
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don't trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
Well they hung my brother before I could say
The tracks he saw while on his way
To Andy's house and back that night were mine
And his cheatin' wife had never left town
And that's one body that'll never be found
You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don't trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Don't trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer
'Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand
The Greatest Man I Never Knew
------------------------------------------------
The greatest man I never knew
Lived just down the hall
And everyday we said hello
But never touched at all
He was in his paper
I was in my room
How was I to know he thought I hung the moon
The greatest man I never knew
Came home late every night
He never had too much to say
Too much was on his mind
I never really knew him
And now it seems so sad
Everything he gave to us took all he had
Then the days turned into years
And the memories to black and white
He grew cold like an old winter wind
Blowing across my life
The greatest words I never heard
I guess I'll never hear
The man I thought could never die
S'been dead almost a year
He was good at business
But there was business left to do
He never said he loved me
Guess he thought I knew
It's Your Call
-------------------------
It's your call, it's her
Would you rather take it in the other room
She's hangin' on and so am I
Yeah, I know all about it don't act so surpised
It's time to end this game you're playin'
She's not the only one who's waiting on the line
It's your call
It's up to you
And I won't try to stop you if you go
But if you stay tell her goodbye
I can't take another minute
I can't stand another night
Of wondering if I even matter
It's something only you can answer
Here's the phone, it's your call
There's no easy way out this time
'Cause I won't live this way
She called here to talk to you
With a message that I can't take
Oh, I've got to know if I still matter
It's somethin' only you can answer
Here's the phone, it's your call
Take It back
----------------------
You talk me into moving in and giving you my key
You said you'd be a mess now if it hadn't been for me
You said I stole your heart away by looking in your eyes
I wonder now how many times you sold that pack of lies
If this is how you act when you give your heart away
Well, take it back (take it back)
Take it back (take it back)
You told me I was everything you wanted and more
Then tell me what you're doing now sneaking out the back door
You're bringing home flowers and a bottle's of chablis
You forgot I don't drink wine I know that bottle's not for me
If this is how you act when you give your heart away
Well, take it back (take it back)
Take it back (take it back)
Oh, you must think I'm blind
And I don't smell your new cologne
You don't think I notice
All the nights I spend alone
Well, I'm not one for sitting 'round in some ole pity pool
You think you got a ticket and I must be some kind of fool
I hate to steal your thunder but your playing days are through
At least they are with me 'cause babe, I got no use for you
Tonight laying on the street
Babe, your bag is packed
So, take it back (take it back)
Take it back (take it back)
Oh, you must think I'm blind
And I don't smell your new cologne
You don't think I notice
All the nights I spend alone
Well, I'm not one for sitting 'round in some ole pity pool
You think you got a ticket and I must be some kind of fool
I hate to steal your thunder but your playing days are through
At least they are with me 'cause babe, I got no use for you
Tonight laying on the street
Babe, your bag is packed
So, take it back (take it back)
Take it back (take it back)
(take it back)
(take it back)
The Heart Won't Lie (duet with Vince Gill)
----------------------------------------------
Looking back over the years
Of all the things I've always meant to say
But words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all of the nights I tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish diguise
The heart won't lie
Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
The four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me
You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away
'Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know I've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish diguise
The heart won't lie
The heart won't lie
The Fear Of Being Alone
----------------------------------------
We ordered up one more bottle of wine
You told me your story and I thought about mine
You said when you lost her you lost everything
It all started having a familiar ring
So I asked you to take me some place quiet
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
Somewhere around the break of day
I could hear it coming from a mile away
So don't say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Reckless hearts can clear a path
Wider than a hurricane's aftermath
We've both traveled down that road
Where in the name of love anything goes
So don't say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
Like a child in the night
With no one to hold you
And tell you everything's gonna be all right
I must admit it's been fun
But that's no reason to jump the gun
If this is real time will tell
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself
Don't say that word
Not the one we both heard too much
You may think you do but you don't
It's just the fear of being alone
I'd Rather Ride Around With You
-------------------------------------------------
My cousin's gettin' married at the Methodist church
That's why I stayed home from work
I'm supposed to hold the flowers
When the new bride kisses the groom
That's what I'm supposed to do
So what are we doin' with the windows rolled down
Twenty five passionate miles from town
I love her like a sister baby but to tell you the truth
I'd rather ride around with you
The guy she's gonna marry's got money to burn
His daddy's a partner in some big law firm
Yeah that's how they're goin'
To Hawaii on their honeymoon
First class to Honolulu
She's never even set foot on a jet
I'm a little bit jealous I confess
I'd like to fly to Hawaii
But honey if I had to choose
Oh I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes
No I don't wanna turn around
Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow
Don't even think about slowin' down
They're tyin' tin cans to the back of the car
Wonderin' where in the world we are
The preacher's done prayin'
And the couple's done sayin' I do
That could be me and you
There's way too many decisions to make
The length of the dress
The layers on the cake
Oh, one of these days I might get married too
But I'd rather ride around with you
I don't care where this road goes
No I don't wanna turn around
Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow
Don't even think about slowin' down
'Cause I'd rather ride around with you
Oh I'd rather ride around with you
If You See Him, If You See Her (with Brooks & Dunn)
---------------------------------------------
If you see him, tell him I wish him well
How am I doing? Well, sometimes it's hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please don't say a word
If you see him
If you see him
If you see her, tell her I'm doin' fine
And if you want to, say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her
I still want her
And I still need him so
I don't know why we let each other go
If you see her, tell her the light's still on for her
Nothing's changed deep down the fire still burns for him
And even if it takes forever, say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her
Forever Love
----------------------
The first time I laid my eyes on you I knew
We'd spend this life side by side
I still feel the same though you're so far away
I swear that you'll always be my
Forever love
I promise you
Someday we'll be together
Forever love
I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Minutes and hours and years may go by
But my heart knows nothing of time
So don't cry, just keep me right there
In your dreams
And hold on to these words of mine
Forever love
I promise you
Someday we'll be together
Forever love
I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever
Love is the road to our destiny
Nothing can change what's meant to be
Forever love
I won't give up
No matter what
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love
Forever love
