MORE

(Thom McHugh - Del Gray)
« © '99 Golden Wheat Music, BMI / Go To Del Music, ASCAP »
If anybody had told me that anybody'd have a hold on me
I'd say they were out of their mind
But speakin' of crazy I'm findin' lately
All I want all I need all the time

Is more of your sweet love too much just ain't enough
I never needed a fix like this before
Too strong to resist I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store you keep me comin' back for more

I can't explain it I'm more than infatuated
You got me good I got it bad
There's no doubt about it I can't live without it
What you got I just gotta have

So give me more of your sweet love...

Too strong to resist I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store you keep me comin' back for more
keep me comin' back for more keep me comin' back for more
More and more and more
Give me give some more
I'm comin' back for more

I'M GONNA LOVE YOU ANYWAY

(Dean Miller - Stacy Dean Campbell)
« © '99 Blackwood Music, BMI »
Go ahead and tell me that you never really loved me baby
Go ahead and tell me that the things I do have always made you crazy

Don't worry darling don't worry darling that's okay
Cause I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you anyway

Go ahead and let it fall to pieces tell me I've been blind
Maybe if I'd only seen it coming I'd have found a way to change your mind

Don't worry darling...

I'm gonna love you in spite of it all drop everything baby run when you call
You're gonna stumble you're gonna fall and I'll be there I'll be there for you
[ guitar ] Go ahead and tell me that you're sorry no one else could take my place
I know that's what you're thinking I can see it by the way it's written on your face

Don't worry darling...
I'm gonna love you anyway
Go ahead and tell me that you never really loved me baby

SHE'S STILL THERE

(Mark D. Sanders - Tim Johnson)
« © '99 Blackwood Music, BMI »
Darling here's a photograph of my old high school class
No I ain't been back in quite a while
See there that's Emma Lou the one I gave my heart to
But there's a story you can't see behind her smile
It was gonna last forever we were gonna see the world
So I guess you're curious just what became of her

Well she's still there in Oklahoma and she's still seventeen
She's livin' with her mama working at the Dairy Queen
And she's still standing on the front porch with a red ribbon in her hair
The rest of us have scattered everywhere but she's still there

Everett went to Omaha he majored in business law
Jill's in Arkansas with husband number two
That's her best friend Jolene she joined up with the Marines
I hear Billy Green's on a beach in Malibu
Yes and Emma would be happy if she could only see us now
Cause we're living out the lives that she only dreamed about

Well she's still there in Oklahoma...

Lord I know I'll never see her with silver in her hair
I know she's really gone but in my heart I'd swear

She's still there in Oklahoma...
Emma's still there

SOMEDAY

(Darrell James Scott)
« © '99 Chuck Wagon Gourmet Music, ASCAP »
I am grounded but I have wings to fly
I just don't use them I just look up in the sky
And keep 'em hidden bound up in a coat and tie
Till the world is ready for a man with wings to fly

But I will fly someday I'll break these feet of clay
Then I'll be on my way my way

I am feeling though I do not shed a tear
My eyes are dusty though I have faced my fear of fears
I am shaken by the coming on of the years
I am a feeling man but I cannot shed a tear

But I will cry someday I'll break these eyes of clay
Then I'll be on my way my way someday
[ guitar ] Oh someday
[ fiddle ] I am loving though I make my bed alone
I've had lovers but I have no one of my own
But I could feed her from the garden I have grown
I am a loving man though I make my bed alone

But I will love someday I will break this heart of clay
Then I'll be on my way my way someday
On my way someday I'm gonna love someday

CAN I WANT YOUR LOVE

(Stephony Smith - Aimee Mayo)
« © '99 Careers Music, BMI »

Is this wrong or is this real should I deny the way I feel
Every time I get close to you
Feels like I'm doin' something I'm not supposed to

Can I want your love would it be okay I wonder what you would say
If I kissed your lips would it shock your heart
Or do you want to go that far
Can I want your love

Do I dare cross this line cause girl my desire might make you mine
This temptation is such a rush how much of you am I worthy of

Can I want your love would it be okay...
[ fiddle ] Every time I get close to you
Feels like I'm doin' something I'm not supposed to

Can I want your love would it be okay...
Can I want your love can I want your love can I want your love
Girl would it be okay

DON'T LIE

(Frank M. Rogers - Chet Biggers)
« © '99 April Music, ASCAP »
That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Laying on your bag out in the hall
You're taking it to remind you of our better days
The ones you say you'll miss when you're gone

Don't lie don't try to fool me cause girl I know what's going on
Don't lie you owe it to me believe me leave well enough alone
So just go ahead and say goodbye but don't lie

Well I've seen all his letters in the closet
Caught a trace of his cologne on you at night
So don't stand there and act so broken hearted
Tell me how it's killing you inside

Don't lie don't try to fool me...

Just come out and say it don't worry I can take it
Don't you think that I deserve the truth

Don't lie don't try to fool me...

WORKING MAN'S WAGE

(George Edwin Varble - Leslie Winn Satcher)
« © '99 April Music, ASCAP »
I've seen mornings when a thousand bales of hay
Looked like a mountain to a boy my age
And I've seen my daddy in that hot southern sun
Move those mountains one by one

And I've seen that same man come home from the mill
Pull forty hours for a hundred dollar bill
I've watched him struggle and I've watched him age
Raising a family on a working man's wage

I grew up on a working man's wage
Blood sweat and tears on every dollar he made
For the little he earned there was so much he gave
And I hope I am worthy of a working man's wage
[ fiddle ] I pick this guitar six nights a week
Daddy can't believe they're paying me
It'd be so easy to let it go to my head
But there's just one thing that I can't forget

I grew up on a working man's wage
Blood sweat and tears on every dollar he made
For the little he earned there was so much he gave
And I hope I am worthy I hope I am worthy
Of a working man's wage

I've seen mornings when a thousand bales of hay
Looked like a mountain to a boy my age

NIGHT HE CAN'T REMEMBER

(Kenny Beard - Sarah Majors - Tracy Adkins)
« © '99 Big Red Tractor Music, ASCAP »
He lost his job that morning stopped off and bought a fifth of pride
A reality eraser a little taste to help face her that night
He broke his same ol' promise when he showed up with whiskey on his breath
That night he can't remember the one that she can't forget

Now he's been clean and sober since 23 October '95
His drinking days are over but there's that one she can't get off her mind
He tries to apologize but can't recall and don't realize
She won't forgive whatever he said
That night he can't remember the one she can't forget

Well she never has remarried cause she never has stopped carrying the pain
It serves as a reminder that the man she's left behind her just couldn't change
If she only knew she probably saved his life the night she left
That night he can't remember the one that she just can't forget

Now he's been clean and sober...
Oh the night he can't remember the one she can't forget
Night he can't remember the one she can't forget

I CAN DIG IT

(Jim Rushing - Monty Criswell)
« © '99 Songs Of Mosaic, ASCAP / Music Of Stage Three, BMI »
You say his memory is a habit that won't let you go I'll help you kick it
If you're looking for a ride on a real smooth road I'm your ticket
If you're holding onto seeds you been wantin' to sow
If you wanna break ground I'll break out the hoe
If you want a little garden where some lovin' can grow I can dig it

If you wanna build a fortified house of love I can brick it
Name me something that you want ain't a task to tough
I can get it yeah I can get it
If you're looking for a man that can do all that
If you want your broken heart to be your last
If you wanna big hole to bury your past I can dig it

If you're buying what I'm selling just say the word
And I'll roll up my sleeves and baby I'll get to work
If you're sick and tired of a liar and cheater
If you want a true love till you meet St Peter
A drink from a well where the water is sweeter
I can dig it yeah I can dig it
[ fiddle - steel ] I dug that
[ piano ] If you're buying what I'm selling just say the word...
Can you dig it baby I can dig it

EVERYTHING TAKES ME BACK

(Michael P. Heeney - Michael Patrick White - Casey Michael Beathard)
« © '99 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Carribean Stud Music, ASCAP »
It's a song on the radio it's your picture on the wall in my bedroom
It's any one of a million memories girl everything takes me back but you

It's every place that we've ever been it's running into someone we both knew
Or it's the face of a total stranger girl everything takes me back but you

I've called you up I've begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So what's it gonna take what you wanna hear girl I think I've paid my dues
And it might be just but it don't seem fair that everything takes me back but you

It's a sound or it's the silence it's the thought of what I've done I can't undo
Or it's the dream I can't put behind me girl everything takes me back but you

I've called you up I've begged and pleaded...

It's the night or it's the morning it's the thunder rolling in before it rains
Or it's a long long long long stretch of highway
Girl it's nothing and it's everything it's everything
Yeah everything takes me back but you
Girl everything takes me back but you

ALL HAT NO CATTLE

(Roger Brown - Tommy Conners)
« © '99 Black In The Saddle Songs, ASCAP »
See that boy standing there by the dance floor he's looking like the Marlboro Man
Starched shirt starched jeans big trophy buckle and an empty Copenhagen can
He's talking cowboy this and cowboy that well I'll bet one thing's for sure
The only stampede that he's ever seen is the clearance at the western store

All hat and no cattle that boy just ain't real
All boots and no saddle don't know how to make a cowgirl feel
Think I'm gonna tell him to pack up his act
And go back where he came from
Cause all hat and no cattle ain't gonna get it done
[ steel - fiddle ] He's just a smooth-talkin' long-tall slow-walkin' srugstore-made-up dude
So honey don't you fall for that fake Texas drawl he ain't right for you
What you need's a man that ain't just a hat stand when you get him home
Well I don't look like much but I can sure saddle up and ride with you all night long

All hat and no cattle...
All hat and no cattle ain't gonna get it done

EVERY OTHER FRIDAY AT FIVE

(Steven Dale Jones)
« © '99 BMG Songs, ASCAP »
One out of two ain't gonna make it those are the odds these days
And in a world of statistics he's left tryin' to survive
Till every other Friday at five

He counts the days and then the hours till he can hold his babies in his arms
And they'll be watchin' out the window when he pulls up in the drive
On every other Friday at five

For forty-eight hours they're with him again
But on Sunday afternoon he's out of time
Some folks call him a deserter but his kids know he'll arrive
On every other Friday at five

So let's not put 'em in the middle and play tug-of-war with their little hearts
But let mamas and daddies smile hello and wave goodbye
On every other Friday at five

For forty-eight hours they're with him again...
