THERE'S MORE TO ME THAN YOU
(James T. Slater - Marcus Chagnon - Jessica Andrews)
« © '03 Green Ivy Music, BMI »
I spent years and all of this time
Thinking I was better off cause you were mine
You always said it was your way or the highway
So I'm shiftin' my life into drive
I'm gettin' out kissin' the past goodbye
Like Toby said how do you like me now
This conversation has run dry and I keep telling myself
Ooh ooh ooh there's more to me than you
Ooh ooh don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright it's OK I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me than you
I'm not sayin' I'm battered and bruised
But I might as well be with the words you use
I believe in myself and that makes me stronger
Things change so have I I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
You can clip my wings I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own and I'm on my way and I keep telling myself
Ooh ooh ooh there's more to me than you...
[ guitar ]
There was always something that meant more to you than me
And I'm just sorry it's taken this for you to see
Ooh ooh ooh there's more to me than you...

WHEN GENTRY PLAYS GUITAR
(James T. Slater)
« © '03 Green Ivy Music, BMI »
When Gentry plays guitar it's like a song Leon sang long ago
When Gentry plays guitar the girls at the bar watch him roll away the stone
Pisces apple lady Delta queen
When he lets down his long brown hair I wish he belonged to me
But he don't he belongs to the song and the melody
When Gentry plays guitar
When Gentry sings this song he's alone inside a glass house made of stone
When Gentry sings a song his mom and dad and his sisters all sing along
Sweet home Oklahoma yeah prince of peace
When he lets down his long brown hair I wished he belong to me
But he don't he belongs to the song and melody
When Gentry plays guitar
In conversation you will drown in his deep dark eyes
But salvation is sweet cause he gives you a rose and you realize
When Gentry plays guitar it's like a song...
When Gentry plays guitar oh yeah
When Gentry plays guitar it's like a song...

I WISH FOR YOU
(Chris Lindsey - Aimee Mayo - Troy Verges)
« © '03 Careers Music, BMI »
Time goes by so fast and days they seem to dance
Into the distance till they're gone
If I had a map to lead you down life's path
I'd give it to you but I don't so go on
Cry hard laugh loud be humble stand proud
And don't be afraid of your fears
Let love break your heart just be who you are
All of this all that there is I wish for you
You can never know which way your world will turn
How the stars are gonna fall
Salty tears they burn there are lessons you will learn
But you'll be stronger for it all yes you will yeah
Cry hard laugh loud be humble stand proud...
[ guitar ]
Cry hard laugh loud be humble stand proud...

TO LOVE YOU ONCE
(John Scott Sherrill - Phil Vassar)
« © '03 Bughnsongs, ASCAP »
I try to let it go I try to shut it out
Cleanse it from my soul but it stays in place like a permanent stain
Yeah all I want is to turn you down
To sleep you off but your memory creeps in and out of my dreams
And hits me like a cold hard fist why can't I get over this
Baby to love you once baby to love you once
Baby to love you once is to love you forever
I can't kick your affecetion I'm sick of tryin' to
You're like a bad addiction runnin' through my veins
You're the habit I crave yeah
Some kinda voodoo in your eyes has my head hypnotized
Baby to love you once...
I've come to one conclusion that there's just no substitution
Baby to love you once...
One look and I was hooked one touch was all it took
Your lips your velvet skin pulled me over and under and in
To love you once naby to love you once
Baby to love you once is to love you forever

I BRING IT TO YOU
(Bob Regan - Phil Barnhart - Kevin Paige)
« © '03 Tree Publishing, BMI »
All of these words on paper all of these thoughts in my head
Deals I've made with the maker the need that sleeps in my bed
All of these stones in my pocket daydreams I've left on the shore
The jagged half of a locket I lay it all at your door
I bring it to you there's magic in all that you do
I bring you the scraps that make up my soul you make me whole
I'm gold and I bring it to you
Songs I've shouted to heaven secrets I've kept in a box
Trust never given keys that don't fit any lock
Oh I bring it to you...
[ guitar ]
But more than anything I bring you love I bring you love
I bring it to you...
I bring it to you...

NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
(Chris Lindsey - Aimee Mayo - Troy Verges)
« © '03 Careers Music, BMI »
I'll always see your face the corner of your smile
And all the little things that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday won't ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say
You will never be forgotten a million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me you're more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten
I can't hold your hand or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you it just echoes in my mind
But if hearts are made of dust and if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight and know just where you are
You will never be forgotten...
And the world just keeps on going it has no way of knowing
That you're gone
[ guitar ]
You will never be forgotten...

THEY ARE THE ROSES
(Randy VanWarmer - Paul Jenkins - Tim Schoepf)
« © '03 Careers Music, BMI »
Born with heaven in their eyes God sent innocent
The promise of life
Born into this mess we've made holding the future
And hope of better days
Cause these is nothing more beautiful and wild
Than the dreams that grow in the heart of every child
They are the roses they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in the ocean tide
They are angels they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything's gonna be alright
They are the roses
Imagine a place filled with happy sounds of playgrounds
Where ever child is safe
Where people join hands and pray that the children
Will all have a chance
In every family every tribe and every town
We're the keepers of this garden and we can't let them down
Cause they are the roses...
[ guitar - steel ]
Imagine a place where all people join hands and every child is safe
They are the roses...

SUNSHINE AND LOVE
(Aimee Mayo - Troy Verges)
« © '03 Careers Music, BMI »
If I had a zillion dollars and the whole world on a string
Diamonds in my pockets and the power of a king
I don't think I'd be any happier then I am right now
Cause moneys only paper it might buy a lot of stuff
But if moneys what your asking you won't ever have enough
Cause the best things in life might not be free but they sure are cheap
Like sunshine and blue skies and a river on a hot hot day
Moonlight and a good fight standin' out in the pouring rain
So many things that money buys but really nothing I can find
Like sunshine and love
There's something bout the moment when two hemispheres colide
Someone opens up there world and lets you see inside
And you realize that everything that you've been waitin' for
For your whole life is standing right there there ain't nothing like love
Like sunshine and blue skies...
[ guitar ]
Like sunshine and blue skies...

YOU'RE THE MAN (THAT BRINGS THE WOMAN OUT OF ME)
(James T. Slater - Marcus Chagnon)
« © '03 Green Ivy Music, BMI »
Sittin' here all by myself with my heart up on the shelf
This house don't feel like home to me
I watch the clock up on the wall time stands still that's all
When you're out of reach I wish you could see
Since you went away I've been feeling this way
What I really want to say
I wanna see you I wanna be with you I wanna feel you
And put my arms around you
When I hold you I won't let go of you baby
If I could kiss you I'd make love to you
Cause I need you like I never needed anybody
Oh baby can't you see
You're the man that brings the woman out of me
I took a walk out in the rain knowin' that you feel the same
With each goodbye I'm closer to you
Though the miles pull us apart we both knew it from the start
Together we can make it through
Every minute that you're gone is a minute too long
Right here's where you belong
I wanna see you I wanna be with you...
And when we are together it's like nothing that I've ever felt before
When you lay your hands on me
It's lightning and it's thunder this sweet spell that I'm under
Baby you're all that I need
I wanna see you I wanna be with you...

COWBOY GUARANTEE
(Jim Collins - Rebecca Lynn Howard)
« © '03 Make Shift Music, BMI »
There were signs all over town come see the rodeo
When I saw those fair ground lights a shinin' I knew I had to go
There were bulls and wild horses arrows and clowns
Rhinestones and glitter sparklin' and cowboys all around
But there was one I never will forget
He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'
Restless like a river runnin' free
When he smiled I knew my heart would be broken
He was gonna leave that's the cowboy guarantee
That night we got together we drove out to the lake
Beneath the stars and Texas moonlight I gave my heart away
But you can't tame a river I wouldn't want to try
Cause it was worth all the hurtin' to know that for one night
I was loved like I've never been before
He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
He was wild as a tumble weed blowin'...
But a cowboy is a cowboy and he's always gonna be
That's the cowboy guarantee ooh that's the cowboy guarantee

NOW
(Chris Lindsey - Aimee Mayo - Marv Green)
« © '03 Careers Music, BMI »
All my life I've waited and I've been afraid
And wondered if I'd find someone to share my life
And everyday I prayed and every night I searched
In every stranger's eyes for some kind of sign
Me and my heart wishing in the dark
Trying to believe in a sky full of stars I was waiting for you
A million empty days too much time and space
Every tear I cried every lonely night I was waiting for you
Now here you are and my world is my world is so beautiful
Now here you are and my life is my life is so wonderful now
The past seems like a dream just a vacancy
How did I exist before our first kiss
Oh I feel so lucky because I know you love me
No one ever has like no one ever has
Me and my heart wishing in the dark...
Now here you are and my world is my world is so beautiful
Now here you are and my life is my life is so wonderful now

SECOND SUNDAY
(Billy Mann - Julian Bunetta)
« © '03 Juni Tunes, ASCAP »
Monday mornings are bittersweet
Just like the coffee in my cup it's what you need but not enough
Here without warning another week
I'd rather crawl back into bed and lie with you all day instead
Everyone around the world can understand me and this feeling inside
Maybe my heart is just a little too demanding oh but when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes baby
I need a second Sunday so I can be with you
I'm gonna go tell Monday this is something I've got to do
Another twenty-four hours is all that it takes
Sometimes love just needs a second Sunday
It's 6 a.m. hey aren't you sweet
With your hair all in a mess I wonder why did I get dressed
When from California to NYC
There's a fever goin' round like the love that we have found
Maybe my heart is just a little too demanding oh but when I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes baby
I need a second Sunday so I can be with you...
Don't feel guilty just cause we wanna stay in bed
If you love me don't let the weekend go
I need a second Sunday so I can be with you...

WINDOWS ON A TRAIN
(Hillary Lindsey - Troy Verges - Angelo Petraglia)
« © '03 Animal Fair Music, ASCAP / Macadoo Music, BMI »
It felt like just a moment the way they never last
Where were you goin' that you had to leave so fast
We were supposed to wake up one day when we were older
Holdin' on forever but we flew past each other
Oh like windows on a train the flashing of a frame
I can't hold on but I can't let go
A snapshot in my mind of a love that's stuck in time
I saw it slip away windows on a train
I'm not sure what happened but here I am alone
Tryin' to find a way to find a reason that you're gone
I don't know if I'm shakin' from the rhythm of these wheels
Or if it's my heart breakin' and this is how it feels this is how it feels
Like windows on a train...
I'm on my way to kneel down with the truth
With my black dress on to say goodbye to you
Ooh windows on a train...

GOD DON'T GIVE UP ON US
(James T. Slater - Angela Kaset)
« © '03 Green Ivy Music, BMI »
Who will with the holy war can you tell me what they're fighting for
And do you look down in disgust God don't give up on us
Mother nature's ashamed and bruised all her precious gifts abused
Her forest burns her rivers rust God don't give up on us
Don't give up on me don't give up on love
Nothing loved is ever lost God don't give up on us
We hold our babies in our arms and pray you'll keep them safe from harm
In a world that's so unjust God don't give up on us
Don't give up on me don't give up on love
Nothing loved is ever lost God don't give up on us
For every bullet fired for every soul that's lost
Forgive our dark desires and the pain we've caused
Please don't close your eyes to the part of us
That's beautiful still beautiful
How can we regain your trust
God don't give up God don't give up on us

GOOD TIME
(Annie Roboff - Bekka Bramlett - Jessica Andrews)
« © '03 Irving Music, BMI »
Guess it's written on my face God I get so sick of this place
I gotta get up get out and get a life
The days run long the nights too short not much time for me no more
And I'm well overdue so now I'm going to
Let my hair down and bleach it blonde
Turn the ringer off and the engine on
Cause I can't wait to get to the good times
Yeah just one stop at the ATM
Grab a hundred bucks and a real good friend
Pack it up and take a load off my mind
Cause I can't wait to get to the good time oh
Me and my baby get along got a lot of love got it going on
I wouldn't let go no for anything
Somethin' bout how the highway feels
When you drive along on your freedom wheels
You know any destination will kill the frustration
Let my hair down and bleach it blonde...
Just for the weekend let's jump off the deep end
I'm goin' to
Let my hair down and bleach it blonde...
