Ridin' Out The Heartache

Stephony Smith - Cathy Majeski - Sunny Russ

© Blackwoosd Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publ, BMI / Chrysalis Music, ASCAP

66 Chevrolet windshield full of rain
Four wheels that I can trust to take me out of here
Truck stop in Buffalo fueled up and food to go
One lonely trucker said he had to bend my ear
Hey there where you headed I told him I don't really know

I'm just ridin' out the heartache
It's doesn't matter how long it takes
I'm just a couple thousand miles away
From gettin' his memory out of my mind
And when this storm is over I'll be fine
Oh but until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache

No need to read the signs not keepin' track of time
Maybe a new direction's gonna change my luck
Turned around and headed south feel a little better now
Seems like those old gray clouds they may be breakin' up
He was my only reason the one thing keepin' me around

I'm just ridin' out the heartache...
[ guitar ]
Just ridin' out the heartache...
Until that day (I'm ridin' out the heartache)
Until that day I'm ridin' out the heartache

Little Things

Steven Dale Jones - Michael Dulaney

© Ensign Music, BMI / Michael House Music, BMI / Famous Music, ASCAP

Love can't be measured with diamonds and gold
Before you spend your money I oughta let you know
If you wanna get to me try the little things

Don't need that mansion on top of the hill
Too many rooms with nothing to fill
You can't furnish me with the little things

Rub my back make me laugh hold me while I dream
All it takes to make my day is to tell me you love me
Little things

It doesn't matter what mood I'm in
I always melt when you begin
Whispering the little things

Rub my back make me laugh hold me while I dream
All it takes to make my day is to tell me that you love me
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Rainy walks a midnight talk dance me on your feet
Hold me close don't let go all I'll ever need
Is a single rose a kiss hello that smile upon your face
The tender way you say my name takes my breath away
Little things oh yeah

Love can't be measured with diamonds and gold
All I'll ever need all these little things uh little things

It Hurts Like Love

Chuck Jones - Deborah Allen

© Mike Curb Music, BMI / Music Of Stage Three, BMI / Posey Publ, BMI

It sure felt like forever when we were together
Imagine my surprise
When you told me it was over threw your coat over your shoulder
And walked out of my life
You said that it was just infatuation
Something I'd get over soon enough

But it hurts like love and it feels like heartache
You were here in my arms and then you were gone
And now it's just too late
It's a crying shame after all of this pain
I'm still not sure just what it was but it hurts like love

I don't know how it happened I gave it all my passion
Believing it was real
I was sure that it could save you but all it ever gave you
Was this emptiness I feel
I know that it's only an illusion
But every night that I don't feel your touch

It hurts like love...
You know I'm still not sure just what it was
But it hurts like love

I Don't Believe That's How You Feel

Harlan Howard - Kostas

© Harlan Howard Music, BMI / Seven Angels Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI

I don't believe that's how you feel
I don't believe that you don't love me
I guess I must have hurt you bad I didn't mean to make you sad
I sure regret the things I told you now

I don't believe that we're all through
I don't believe that's it's all over
Let's forget who's right or wrong
And remember we belong together

Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again
[ fiddle ]
Let's forgive and forget and start over...
I don't believe that's how you feel...

I guess I must have hurt you bad I didn't mean to make you sad
I sure regret the things I told you now

By The Way

Stephony Smith - Cathy Majeski

© Cross Keys Publ, ASCAP / ATV Tunes, ASCAP

By the way I really love you just in case you didn't know
And I know baby it's not easy for you to say I'm the one
But I can tell by the way you love

By the way you smile by the way you say nothin'
I can see it all in your eyes
By the way I really need you everyday of my life
Don't worry baby if words escape you
I feel what you're feelin' and that's enough
I can tell by the way you love

By the way you smile by the way you say nothin'
I can see it all in your eyes oh yeah
[ guitar ]
By the way I know it's not easy for you to say I'm the one
But I can tell by the way you love me
I can tell I'm the one by the way you love

Love Thing

Bill LaBounty - Delbert McClinton

© Ensign Music, BMI / Lew Bob Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI

It's kind of gentle and easy
Something to do with the heart
A sweet song crying way down deep
You've got to play it baby no way to say it

It's a love thing it's got no name
It's just a feeling inside
It's a full moon a summer rain
And when I'm holding you tight
It's a love thing it's a love thing

It isn't something to hurry uh huh
It takes a step at a time
And when it comes sneaking up on you
You don't regret it baby it's copacetic

It's a love thing it's got no name...
[ guitar ]
So when it comes sneaking up on you
Go on and let it baby you won't regret it

It's a love thing it's got no name...
[ guitar ]
It's a love thing it's a love thing oh yeah

Wishin' It All Away

Amanda Hunt - Michael Lunn

© Randy Scruggs Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publ, BMI / Lunn Music, ASCAP

She don't want for nothing cause he buys her everything
But the one thing he don't give her is the love that she needs
She cries on pillows made of lace dreaming of some other place

She's got a half a mind to run from him
But she knows she'd be back again
She's got everything that a girl could want
She needs more and she can't stop
Wishin' it all away wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away

Looking out the window there goes another falling star
And those diamonds on her fingers don't do nothing for her heart
She thought that there'd be so much more is this what she settled for

She's got a half a mind to run from him...

If she didn't have to go through leavin' if it could all just disappear
Then she could start all over and be out of here oh yeah
[ steel ]
She's got a half a mind to run from him...

She didn't have to go through leavin' she'd be be of here oh yeah
Wishin' it all away

Complicated

Bill LaBounty - Pat McLaughlin

© Careers Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI / Franklin Scarlet Music, BMI

Throw up a quarter and I'll call it
Heads he loves me tails he loves me not
I keep her picture in my wallet
I guess I miss him a little more than I thought

It's complicated it's underrated
This is so much more than I anticipated
Well It's heart related it's complicated

Am I flyin' am I sinkin'
Do it feel good or do it hurt
I'd like to tell him what I'm thinkin'
Right now I just can't find them words

It's complicated it's underrated...
[ mandolin - guitar ]
We're walkin' hand in hand on Sunday
Havin' it out on Sunday night
We might be making up come Monday
Our love is never black and white

It's complicated it's underrated...

All I Have To Offer You Is Love

Craig Wiseman

© Almo Music, ASCAP

If all you want's a good time baby there's a party down the street
If you're tryin' to fight an old flame well I can't take the heat
If you're looking for a game to play well I wish you luck
All I have to offer you is love

If you only want a keeper darling well I don't hold your key
If you're searching for a savior better get down on your knees
If you're looking for the answers well hell I don't know much
All I have to offer you is love

Darling there's a whole lot of things I've found I just can't be
If you're looking for real love baby I've got all that you'll ever need
It might be more than you're after or not nearly enough
All I have to offer you is love
[ guitar ]
Darling there's a whole lot of things...
All I have to offer you is my love oh yeah ooh

What Your Love Does For Me

Austin Cunningham - Sunny Russ

© Warner-Tamerlane Publ, BMI / Senior Partner Music, ASCAP

I was givin' up on givin' love another try
But were easy on the heart and easy on the eye
Yeah I wouldn't have believed it if I'd been told
I'd have my very own angel to hold
Like a warm blanket I can wrap around my soul

You're good lookin' you're good luck
You make me feel like a million bucks
That's what your love does for me
Like a child a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me yeah

You look my outlook and you sure shook it up
With a little bit of sweatness from your loving cup
What was once half empty is now half full
Now I'm an optimist baby dyed in the wool
Ever since you gave my lonely heart strings a pull

You're good lookin' you're good luck...
[ guitar ]
You set the mood you set me free
Like a prisoner with my own jail key
That's what your love does for me
Like a new dime don't I shine
Feels like every day with you is springtime
That's what your love does for me

Feel like a child I'm a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me
That's what your love does
That's what your love does for me yeah

You Don't Do It

Troy Seals - Al Anderson

© Irving Music, BMI / Mighty Nice Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept, BMI

Every now and then you feel like jumpin' off the deep end
Pack a few things head to New Orleans commit a few sins
With a good rockin' daddy that can rock all night
Make you feel good make you feel all right
You don't do it baby but you think about it

You wanna spend your life your love and your money in the fast lane
Let the good times roll body and soul ruin the family name
There's a devil on your shoulder and he's talkin' to you
I know what he's saying cause I've been there too
You don't do it baby but you think about it

Well we all got a list of the do's and don'ts
Save a little space for the wills and won'ts
Underline things like right and wrong
I could just go on and on and on
[ guitar ]
Yeah you want to get crazy girl and there's no doubt
That somebody's doing what you're doing without
But you don't do it baby you just think about it
You think about it baby
[ piano ]
There's a devil on your shoulder and he's talkin' to you
I know what he's saying cause I've been there too
No you don't do it baby but you think about it
No no no you don't do it baby but you think about it
I'm thinkin' about it right now uh huh

You don't do it but you think about it
You don't do it but you think about it
We don't do it but you think about it
