HEART TO HEART

(Mac McAnally - Chris Gantry - Rhett Akins)
« © '93 Hit Haven Music, BMI »
I pulled in her driveway turned the radio down low
I sat staring at what she was wearing waitin' by the front door
She came walking down the porch steps her daddy's pride and only innocence
The way she smiled I knew we were gonna be

Heart to heart falling in love by the radio light
Underneath the stars nothin's ever felt more right
Than being alone and lost in each other's arms giving in to the raging storm
And cherishin' every part heart to heart

We pulled down a dirt road sittin' close and moving slow
The moonlight danced on a little romance goin' on in my old Ford
She whispered softly as she closed her eyes if we go to far don't apologize
Cause there's no place that I would rather be

Heart to heart...

They say that we're too young to know if love is real
But all we know is what we feel

Heart to heart...
Heart to heart falling in love by the radio light
Underneath the stars nothin's ever felt more right oh

WHAT THEY'RE TALKIN' ABOUT

(Larry Boone - Paul Nelson - Rhett Akins)
« © '94 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
Stole the keys to my daddy's ride and I took my baby for a midnight drive
Our hearts were racing as we headed down Highway 9
Oh we didn't have no lover's lane but that old back road worked just the same
It wasn't long till I knew deep inside

This must be what they're talkin' about
When you find the one you can't live without
Somewhere deep in the night I saw the light oh her love got a hold of me
Left no doubt this must be what they're talkin' about

I read about it in the magazines I'd even seen it on the movie screen
Heard 'em sing about it in a million songs
I never really understood till we lit that fire that night in the woods
Started a love that still burns just as strong

This must be what they're talkin' about...
[ guitar ] Somewhere deep in the night...
(This must be) what they're talkin' about
This must be what they're talkin' about
This must be what they're talkin' about

OLD DIRT ROAD

(Chris Gantry - Rhett Akins)
« © '94 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There's an old dirt road off of 33 Lord it's been so long since it's seen me
But I've put many a mile across it's back
I used to kick up dust in the summertime runnin' the Georgia-Florida line
A teenage runaway train jumpin' of the track
Had the windows rolled down beer cans flyin'
Bocephus on the knob and a coon-dog cryin'

Now those days are gone in my rear view
Lord all the scenes have changed and the roads are all brand new
When my homesick heart gets the best of me
I hit that old dirt road off of 33

I was runnin' with a bunch of friends of mine nothin' to do but shoot old stop signs
Half the time with the law got hot on our heels
Well we get cleaned up and go lookin' around for a carload of girls to follow us down
To a run-down cabin and a party back in the fields
Oh God bless mama she never had a clue but I got a feelin' that my daddy knew

Now those days are gone in my rear view...
[ fiddle - guitar - dobro ] Now those days are gone in my rear view...
I hit that old dirt road off of 33

SHE SAID YES

(Joe Doyle - Rhett Akins)
« © '93 BMG Songs, ASCAP »
He never had given much thought to dancing
But she gave a lot of thought to being asked
Well he'd never been good at coming right on out and asking
And she'd never been given the chance
But something moved him cross that old gym floor when fear was holding fast
And to his surprise the words came at last

And she said yes to his half hearted request
And they held on for dear life till the last song played
And they won't let go it's beyond their control
They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes
[ piano ] From that night on the fire was burning and they sure did shine in its light
And he knew as long as the old world kept turning he wanted her by his side
So with a ring and a nervous smile and some lines that he'd rehearsed
He said the sweetest words that she'd ever heard

And she said yes...
[ guitar ] They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes

THAT AIN'T MY TRUCK

(Chris Waters - Tom Shapiro - Rhett Akins)
« © '94 Hit Haven Music, BMI »
She's been goin' out with him she's been goin' out with me
Said she'd let us know by tonight which one it would be
So I waited by the phone but she never called me up
Had to know what was goin' on so I drove by her house and sure enough

That ain't my truck in her drive man this ain't my day tonight
Looks like she's in love and I'm out of luck
That ain't my shadow on her wall Lord this don't look good at all
That's my girl my whole world but that ain't my truck
[ steel ] I pulled over by the curb I've been sittin' here all night
Wondering what it was I did so wrong that he did so right
I've thought of breaking down her door but there's nothing left to say
That chevy four by four says it all sittin' in my place

That ain't my truck...
[ guitar ] That ain't my shadow on her wall...
That's my girl my whole world but that ain't my truck
[ steel ] That's my girl my whole world but that ain't my truck
That's my girl my whole world but that ain't my truck

KATY BROUGHT MY GUITAR BACK TODAY

(Mickey Gates - John Jarrard)
« © '93 Miss Blyss Music, ASCAP »
Katy brought my guitar back today that's how she let me know it's all over
I remember all those nights sittin' in the fireplace light
How she loved to hear me play
Katy brought my guitar back today
Katy brought my guitar back today I've seen it make her cry over and over
She told me when I wasn't there she would wake up feeling scared
She'd hold it in her arms and be okay
Katy brought my guitar back today
We had our stormy times like anybody else
More than once more than once I broke her heart
When I couldn't tell her I was sorry by myself I could tell her with that old guitar
But I'm afraid this time things have gone too far

Katy brought my guitar back today I guess that means this time it's really over
As I sit and play it now the songs all seem so sad somehow
I wish she'd just thrown that thing away Katy brought my guitar back today
I remember all those nights sittin' in the fireplace light
How she used to love to hear me play but Katy brought my guitar back

THOUSAND MEMORIES

(Byron Hill - Rhett Akins)
« © '93 MCA Music, ASCAP »
I can curse the day I met you and say I never loved you
Swear I'm better off now that you're not here with me
I can tell myself it's over that somewhere there's another
Who'll take your place in my life but it's all just make believe
I know it's all just make believe

Cause a thousand memories can't be wrong
One by one they're tellin' me to hang on
Truth is girl I've loved you all along
No a thousand memories can't be wrong
[ guitar - fiddle ] I don't need to see your picture or read your old love letters
To know the fool that I've been I'm reminded all the time
I don't need to drive by your house or go to our old hangouts
To know the love I'm missin' it's always on my mind
Girl you're always on my mind

Cause a thousand memories...
No a thousand memories can't be wrong
[ guitar - fiddle ] **********

I BRAKE FOR BRUNETTES

(Sandy Ramos - Rhett Akins)
« © '94 Hit Haven Music, BMI »
Well I brake for brunettes blondes in Corvettes redheads I stop on a dime
Now the way I drive it's a wonder that I ever get anywhere on time
So don't tailgate my pickup truck or you just might wind up in a wreck
Now they ain't made the sticker for my bumper just yet but I brake for brunettes

I let Firestone put me some new tires on just a few weeks ago
But man I swear that wear and tear is already startin' to show
Well I oughta just whistle or yell but man I can't help myself

Cause I brake for brunettes...
[ guitar - fiddle ] You'll see them big skid marks by the wave pool park and Judy's beauty salon
Lord I tore up the street in front of Betty's boutique
Where they come out with mini-skirts on
Well I know I'm gonna wear out my tread down by Tina's tanning beds

Cause I brake for brunettes...
I brake for brunettes man I brake for brunettes oh Lord oh

SAME OL' STORY

(Byron Hill - Rhett Akins)
« © '94 MCA Music, ASCAP »
You let him by with another line again
And oh each time he swears this hurtin' you is comin' to an end
But Lord knows he'll never close the book on doin' you wrong
Cause every time you think it's over it don't take him very long

Before he writes another page to the same ol' story
No it don't ever change and you'll always be sorry
If you don't put it on the shelf and start living for yourself
Cause all he's giving you is the same ol' story
[ guitar ] Well any fool can tell just where it's gonna end
And he'll keep adding more and more to the pain he's put you in
Can't you see this ain't the fairy tale you built your love upon
Cause front to back cover to cover he's just leadin' your heart on

As he writes another page...
[ guitar ] Oh the same ol' same ol' story

THOSE HANDS

(Mark D. Sanders - Sam Hogin - Rhett Akins)
« © '94 Starstruck Writers Group »
She was a mom back when moms didn't work
She just did the laundry and brushed off the dirt
She cooked all the meals and scrubbed all the floors
And she mowed that front yard with that old push mower
All of those years without the help of a man
She held us together with those delicate hands

Those hands have rocked some cradles calmed many a crying child
Set ten thousand supper tables now it's time to rest those hands a while
Those hands have done some praying worn just one wedding band
Now there ain't much time and there ain't much strength
But there's a lot of love left in those hands
[ fiddle ] If I had a dime for every button she sewed
All the tears she's dried and bedtime stories she's told
I'd buy back the years back from old father time
Just sit here and hold her hands in mine

Those hands have rocked...
There's a lot of love left in those hands
