 Little Rock
(Tom Douglas)
(Track 1 - Time 3:58)
Well I know I've disappeared a time or two
And along the way I lost me and you
I needed a new town for my new start
Sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart
I haven't had a drink in 19 days
My eyes are clear and bright without that haze
I like the preacher from the Church of Christ
I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone baby wait and see
I got just one small problem here in Little Rock
Without you, baby I'm not me
I don't know why I kept it all inside
You must've thought I never even tried
You know your daddy told me when I left
Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone baby wait and see
I got just one small problem here in Little Rock
Without you, baby I'm not me
Lyin' here upon this motel bed
My thoughts of you explode inside my head
And like a castle built upon the sand
I let love crumble in my hands
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone baby wait and see
I got just one small problem here in Little Rock
Without you, baby I'm not me
Without you, baby I'm not me
I think I'm on a roll here in Little Rock
 I Think About You
(Don Schlitz/Steve Seskin)
(Track 2 - Time 3:27)
Everytime I see a woman on a billboard sign
I think about you
Saying "drink this beer and you'll be mine"
I think about you
When an actress on the movie screen
Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about you
When I see a pretty woman walking down the street
I think about you
Men look her up and down like she's some kind of treat
I think about you
She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger
Always has to be aware of the danger
Doesn't matter who she is
I think about
You... eight years old
Big blue eyes and a heart of gold
When I look at this world, I think about
You... and I can't help but see
That every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl... I think about you
Everytime I hear people say it's never gonna change
I think about you
Like it's some kind of joke, some kind of game
Girl I think about you
When I see a woman on the news
Who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused
It doesn't matter who she is
I think about
You... eight years old
Big blue eyes and a heart of gold
When I look at this world, I think about
You... and I can't help but see
That every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl... I think about
You... eight years old
Big blue eyes and a heart of gold
When I look at this world
I think about you
I think about you
I think about you
 Not That Different
(Karen Taylor-Good/Joie Scott)
(Track 3 - Time 3:54)
She said we're much too different we're from two seperate worlds
And he admitted she was partly right
But in his heart's defense he told her what they had in common
Was strong enough to bond them for life
He said look behind your own soul and the person that you'll see
Just might remind you of me
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different, me and you
She could hardly argue with his pure and simple logic
But logic never could convince the heart
She had always dreamed of loving someone more exotic
And he just didn't seem to fit the part
So she searched for greener pastures but never could forget
What he whispered when she left
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different, me and you
Was it time or was it truth
Maybe both led her back to his door
As her tears fell at his feet
She didn't say "I love you" what she said meant even more
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different
No we're really not that different, me and you
 That's My Story
(Lee Roy Parnell/Tony Haselden)
(Track 4 - Time 3:03)
I came in as the sun came up
She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said where you been so I thought real hard
And said I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard
She said you don't know it boy, but you just blew it
I said well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story that's my story
Well I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
Well I got that deer in the headlights look
She read my face like the cover of a book
And said don't expect me to believe all that static
Cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic
My skin got so thin you could see right through it
And I stuttered well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story (that's my story) that's my story (that's my story)
Yeah I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
You know the time comes when a wise man knows that the best thing he can do
Is just look her in the eye and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth
Well honey me and the boys played cards all night
Wasn't no hanky panky not a woman in sight
And I know I shoulda called and baby I'm real sorry
Let's get a cellular phone then you won't have to worry
You know how much I love you and darling I'm ready to prove it
And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
That's my story (that's my story) that's my story (that's my story)
Well I ain't got a witness and you know I can't prove it
But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it
You know I ain't gonna do a thing darlin' unless you approve it
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
 If I Were You
(Chris Farren/John Hobbes)
(Track 5 - Time 4:05)
You wanna know
Where we go from here
So many roads
But none that seem clear
Is what we have enough
To last a whole life through
Who knows, baby who knows
So you're asking me
What do we do
Cause time moves so fast
And the chances seem so few
Is it too much to think
That we could have it all
Who knows, we may never know
But if I were you I'd promise to
Live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given
And leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to show you
Everything you'll ever need
And if I were you
I'd fall I love with me
So hold me close
I'll kiss away your fears
I won't promise the moon
But I'll promise to be here
And what if together
It gets better every day
Who knows, who knows
But if I were you I'd promise to
Live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given
And leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to show you
Everything you'll ever need
And if I were you
I'd fall I love with me
But if I were you I'd promise to
Live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given
And leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to show you
Everything you'll ever need
And if I were you
I'd fall I love with me
If I were you
I'd fall I love with me
 One Boy, One Girl
(Mark Alan Springer/Shayne Smith)
(Track 6 - Time 4:04)
He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend
When she said "there's someone you should meet"
At a crowded restaurant way cross town
He waited impatiently
When she walked in their eyes met and they both stared
And right there and then everyone else disappeared, but
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
In no time at all they were standing there
In the front of a little church
Among their friends and family
Repeating those sacred words
Preacher said, "son kiss your bride",
And he raised her veil
Like they night they met time just stood still
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned
"congratulations, twins"
One boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly
To put it mildly it was love at first sight
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
This was the day they'd waited for all their lives
And for a moment the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl
 In This Life
(Mark Reid/Allen Shawblin)
(Track 7 - Time 3:11)
For all I've been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
But one honest touch could set me free
Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
For every mountain I have climbed
Every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I'd longed to find
Without your love I would be lost
Let the world stop turnin'
Let the sun stop burnin'
Let them tell me love's not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
In this life, I was loved by you
 My Kind Of Girl
(Debi Cochran/John Jarrard/Monty Powell)
(Track 8 - Time 2:54)
When I saw you buying Cosmo and a Hot Rod magazine
I said to myself now there's a girl for me
And when I asked you to go for a ride
You stole my heart when you said if I can drive
I said how 'bout some music, you said, you got any Merle?
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
And when we started talking I could not believe my ears
You said you were a Braves fan even through the rotten years
You quoted William Faulkner and Martin Luther King
You said your favorite movie star would always be James Dean
And when we went to dinner you wore blue jeans with your pearls
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
You march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind
Yeah you march to the beat of a different drum
The funny thing is that I hear the same one
We both like to color outside of the lines
We're peas in a pod, girl we're two of a kind
I said I think I love you, you said what's not to love
I thought about a kiss but I wasn't quick enough
I guess while I was thinking you were reading my mind
'Cause you wrapped your arms around me and you pressed your lips to mine
You sent my head a spinning just like a Tilt-a-Whirl
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
You sent my head a spinning just like a Tilt-a-Whirl
That's when I knew you were my kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind of girl
My kind of girl
 That Was A River
(Susan Longacre/Rick Giles)
(Track 9 - 3:12)
I've seen that look before
Here comes that doubt again
You think that girl we saw
Was more than just a friend
Yes, there was a time
I thought she had it all
She meant the world to me
Back when the world was small
That was a river, this is the ocean
That never carried this much emotion
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean
The love we had before
Can never change this one
We're not imprisoned by
The past we've brought along
It's just you and me
One ship in the night
There are no boundaries
There is no end in sight
That was a river, this is the ocean
That never carried this much emotion
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean
Nothing compares to this deep devotion
That was a river, this is the ocean
That was a river, this is the ocean
 What The Heart Wants
(Michael Dulaney)
(Track 10 - Time 3:44)
She met him down at the laundromat
Three a.m. on a washing machine
They sat and talked till dawn
He bought her breakfast at a small cafe
The morning turned into the rest of the day
When the day was gone
He thought that she'd surely run away
No fairytale ever started this way but
It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here
When stronger powers pull two bodies near
Nothing on earth can interfere
When love is what the heart wants
They made a wish on the evening star
From a roof top high above the boulevard
Up in the twilight sky
He held her hand as she held her breath
Two lonely hearts beating scared to death
Of a chance to fly
Giving in to the arms of fate
This isn't quite like the plans that they made but
It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here
When stronger powers pull two bodies near
Nothing on earth can interfere
When love is what the heart wants
It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here
When stronger powers pull two bodies near
Nothing on earth can interfere
When love is what the heart wants
It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here
When stronger powers pull two bodies near
Nothing on earth can interfere
When love is what the heart wants
Nothing on earth can interfere
When love is
 The Gift
(Jim Brickman)
(Track 11 - Time 3:43)
Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on like a fairy tale come true
Sittin' by the fire we made
You're the answer when I prayed
I would find someone and baby I found you
And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift
Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment if only time stood still
But the colors fade away
And the years will make us gray
But baby in my eyes you'll still be beautiful
And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
Can't find the words to say
Thank you for the gift
 Open Arms
(Jonathan Cain/Steve Perry)
(Track 12 - Time 3:21)
Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together and drifted apart
And here you are by my side
So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what you're love means to me
Open arms
Living without you living alone
This empty house is so cold
Wanting to hold you wanting you near
How much I've wanted you home
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay
So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what you're love means to me
Open arms
 Little Red Rodeo
(Charlie Black/Phil Vasser/Rory Michael Bourke)
(Track 13 - Time 3:23)
Well the note said you've had time to think about it
Looks like to me you're feeling kinda crowded
You're not looking for anything permanent here
So my Rodeo's packed and it's in goodbye gear
So I shot down to the Longhorn Diner
Her sister works there and she'd know where to find her
She said you did not hear this from me
All I'll say is momma's got that place out in Monterey
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Two towns back I showed your photograph
And the gas station man just started to laugh
She said I might see you in this old bucket of rust
And said "Good luck boy just follow that cloud of dust"
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Maybe I was stradling the fence just like she said
It took her leavin' just to get it through my head
She's the one and only it's over, that's it
I'm committed I'm in love and I'm desperate
She's a good ways gone but I'm closing the gap
If I have to I'll chase her clear across the map
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Yeah, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
She drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
Oh, how fast can I go
Gotta catch that little red Rodeo
Drove off with my heart I got to let her know
Need the girl in that little red Rodeo
Texas plates, candy apple red Rodeo
 Love, Me
(Skip Ewing/Max T. Barnes)
(Track 14 - Time 6:23)
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so"
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see
And between now and then, till I see you again
I'll be loving you. Love, me
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see
And between now and then, till I see you again
I'll be loving you. Love, me
Between now and then, till I see you again
I'll be loving you. Love, me
 Anyone Else
(Radney Roster)
(Track 1 - Time 3:47)
Baby I bought wine and roses on my way home
Yeah I know we can't afford it but life doesn't last too long
This world has gone half-crazy
And knocked us both to our knees
I'm fumbling for the words to try to tell ya
I love you for hangin' onto me
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Mayday baby, all the rivets popped loose, it's a total tailspin
Too much grindstone, too little time with you
Girl, you know it's wearing thin
Baby let's trade in these teardrops
For warm kisses on skin
You got a drawer full of IOU's
And it's high time you called those things in
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
You've passed up so many chances
To walk right out that door
Instead of dodging a champagne cork
And watchin' the wet clothes fall to the floor
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And you can hide behind a Cheshire cat grin but you know it's true
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Anyone else
Girl, anyone but you
 I Wish I Could
(Tom Douglas/Randy Thomas)
(Track 2 - Time 3:46)
Looking out my window
See you playing in the leaves
It's amazing how a little girl
Means all the world to me
When I tell you that I love you
I love you more than words can say
Smile, say cheese pretty-please
I wanna take your picture
How'd you ever get so big
I gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could
When you kiss me for no reason
It goes straight to my heart
When I feel your arms around me
I almost fall apart
It's time for bed you whisper
Daddy, we forgot to pray
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
But I wish I could
And when I watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't, I know I can't
I know I can't
But I wish I could
 Start Over Georgia
(Collin Raye/Scott Wray)
(Track 3 - Time 3:06)
I think I feel like an old beat up two lane
The one that the state's not about to repair
From where I'm falling I think I might meet you
Below where we were just above just don't care
The way the world's changing I just can't accept it
No right or wrong all in between
The faith we were raised on is weathered and shaken
But baby it don't have to be
'Cause I still believe in a prayer before supper
And passing the time round the old courthouse square
We've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
Well I've never been to that part of the country
Save for some old movies and deep in my mind
Where it's accepted and even rewarded
To stand on your own right side of the line
Nobody wins here, we're all scare of losing
I feel scarred right down to the bone
Maybe we'll find ourselves close to the ocean
Where freedom frist breathes on it's own
'Cause I still believe in a prayer before supper
And passing the time round the old courthouse square
We've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
Oh we've got nothing to keep us from start over Georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
 I Can Still Feel You
(Kim Tribble/Tammy Hyler)
(Track 4 - Time 3:39)
It's that feeling that someone
Is standing behind me
And I turn around and there's no one there
And it's the sensation
That someone just whispered
Yeah and I still hear your voice but you're not really here
Your memory is like a ghost
And my heart is it's host
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
You said you'd love me forever
Then you said it's over
And left me without the missing link
I thought I'd forget you
But I guess I forgot to
And lately I've been too confused to think
When I reach for someone new
It's like I'm touching you
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
In everything that moves
In everything I do
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you, I can still feel you
Oh I can still feel you
 Someone You Used To Know
(Rory Lee & Tim Johnson)
(Track 5 - Time 3:45)
I ain't gonna lie to you
And say it didn't hurt
To see you with someone new
And you were wearing my old blue shirt
But it didn't kill me until we said hello
And I became someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Bet you didn't tell him
'Bout those weekends at the coast
Or how we used to argue
'Bout who loved who the most
Well I guess I won that one, 'cause I still need you so
But to you I'm just someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said that we were through
But I never knew how quickly I would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
I'm not someone you love
I'm someone you used to know
 Corner Of The Heart
(Hugh Prestwood)
(Track 6 - Time 3:22)
Way down at the bottom
Both sides come together and form a V
And that's what mama calls
The corner of the heart
She says a lot of couples never turn that corner
They don't love that deep
They care a little while
Then they drift apart
Well now baby if you wonder why
I'm telling you all of this
It's because something is changing
I can feel it when we kiss
And if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Back in Albuquerque
Near the river there was a cottonwood
One summer hooked up
With a climbing rose
And by the time it snowed
They were so tangled
Nothin' on earth could
Get that handsome couple to let go
Well now baby this world spins too quick
For the eye to see
The slow changing of a stranger into family
But if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of the heart
Yes if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, I am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Turning the corner of the heart
(Turning the corner of the heart)
(Corner of the heart)
 All My Roads
(Karen Taylor-Good/Annette Cotter)
(Track 7 - Time 3:38)
Looking back from where I stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
I don't regret a single broken heart
That taught me what love is and what it's not
Someone must have planned our two paths would cross
I couldn't see it then but I was never lost
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
Detours, dead ends, endless explorations
You were my only destination
'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
 The Walls Came Down
(Collin Raye)
(Track 8 - Time 3:41)
Today the air cleared up
The lights came on bright
Years of heavy weight
In a moment turned light
I'd thought love could only look
Dark as if through a glass
I just turned into an open book
Reading easy at last
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
I've never trusted much
Got my reasons like most
Stayed well protected from
Every thorn on each rose
Taking those wayward trips
Only to turn back and run
Sailing all my relationships
Could not have dreamed up this one
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
You make sense to me
In a world where just a few things do make sense to me
In your heart I'll put my trust
Through whatever is in front of us
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
Ooh baby you're how the walls came down
Oh the walls came down
 April Fool
(Hugh Prestwood)
(Track 9 - Time 3:21)
I'm just a fool for April
There's nothing more to say
Long as I can remember
She's led my heart astray
When I was green as willow
She had me ditchin' school
And even then she tricked me
I'm just an April fool
She tangles dogwood blossoms
Into her yellow hair
She uses the same perfume
The smoky mountains wear
She keeps the flame of summer
'Round her neck like a jewel
She breezes in to see me
And I'm an April fool
She entrances me and she dances me
And she flies me like a kite
And I soon forget she's only come to play
Then there comes a day when she will not stay
And I lie awake all night
Hoping next time April may
When I walked out this morning
April had up and gone
And it clear as water
She'd only led me on
And it will be next winter
Before my heels will cool
And then I will forgive her
I'm just an April fool
She knows I will forgive her
I'm just an April fool
 Make Sure You've Got It All
(Bill Anderson/Steve Wariner)
(Track 10 - Time 4:12)
I'm watching you go from room to room
With all your boxes and your broom
Packing up, sweeping out, and taking down
From off the wall
Everything that's part of us
Tear my whole world down if you must
Don't even leave one little speck of dust
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when I fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Don't even leave one photograph
The memory of one smile or laugh
Check the closet up in the attic and down the hall
Take your time, take your rings
Take the sandbox and the swings
Without a family oh, they're just things
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when I fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
 Survivors
(Jim Daddario/Scott Wray)
(Track 11 - Time 3:22)
You've been my best friend all these years
You've kept holding on to me through all the trials and the tears
Only you and I could know all the sacrifices
That let this feeling grow
There were so many times we could have said goodbye
We could have called it quits but honey you and I
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
There were times I lost my mind
Took some wrong turns you got me back in line
There were times you lost control
But I stood by you I loved you heart and soul
When faith was tested and dreams were fading fast
We held each other close until the rain had passed
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
A little time and tenderness
Has seen us through the years
We'll still be side by side
When the final smoke has cleared
We're survivors we made through the storm
When I've needed shelter I've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
Together in this thing for life
 Dark Secrets

 The Eleventh Commandment
(Karen Taylor-Good/Lisa Aschmann)
(Track 13 - Time 3:59)
She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
She's so ashamed, she's daddy's secret love
She wants to cry, she wants to die, but he can't get enough
The bruises on his face will go away
Mom keeps him home from school till they fade
She's sorry he was born and tells him so
He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
He cries for hours, cries and never stops
He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks
He'll never have the chance to be brand new
He'll never walk, he'll never talk, he's addicted too
Did God overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain
Thou shalt not cause thy children pain
God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Honor thy children
