RODEO ROMEO

(Dan Mitchell)
« © '80 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
He'll dust off his hat clean out his ole pickup truck
He's going playin' when he should be prayin' for luck
Cause tomorrow he's ridin' the meanest bull he'll ever see
But tonight he'll forget all about it he's headin' for some cowgirl's dreams

He's a rodeo romeo cowgirls and bulls are his life
He loves what he does and he does what he loves ev'ry night
He'll hit the dance halls flashin' the girls his best smile
He's burnin' both ends of the candle rodeo romeo style
[ guitar ] He don't even care that while he's out lovin' all night
The bulls will be savin' their strength for that eight second ride
The white lace and whiskey they'll have him feelin' half dead
And even though odds are against him he'll come out a winner instead

He's a rodeo romeo cowgirls and bulls are his life...

SHE'S PLAYIN' HARD TO FORGET

(Dan Mitchell)
« © '81 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I wish someone else had her mem'ry
She's gone and I'm not over her yet
Oh how I've tried to get her out of my mind
But she's playin' hard to forget

Her fingers are touchin' me gently
I feel her lips soft and wet
She's lovin' me each night in my dreams
She's playin' hard to forget

She swore she'd always be with me
And I bless the day that we met
She made me believe that she'd never leave
Now she's playin' hard to forget

Her fingers are touchin' me gently...
She's playin' hard to forget

YOU'VE STILL GOT IT

(Bobby Fisher - Chris Blake)
« © '81 Screen Gems Music, BMI / Nashcal Music, BMI »
Your name still touches off that spark of want to in me
Your touch still makes me feel like flyin' high
Your kiss still makes me hear that same sweet melody
And I can still get lost still get lost in your eyes

You've still got it cause I feel it when I'm near you
It just seems you go on growing endlessly
You've still got it the key to love's ole mysteries
You've still got it and what you've got still gets to me

After all this time you'd think our love would quiet down
But the flame keeps burning hotter than before
When I walk with you my feet they still don't touch the ground
And the two of us keep comin' back keep comin' back for more

You've still got it cause I feel it when I'm near you...
You've still got it and what you've got still gets to me

DAILY DOUBLE

(Bob Morris - David Brewer)
« © '81 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Between love and broken hearted that's when my drinkin' started
This double that I'm holdin' seems to have the upper hand
I've spent half my life here drinkin' that's what keeps my mind from thinkin'
So pour me one more daily double me and Jim Beam love to win

I didn't mean to be a boozer but it's hell to be a loser
And this bottle that I'm holdin' seems to be my only friend
And before this night is over I'll forget I ever loved her
So pour me one more daily double me and Jim Beam love to win

Until closin' time this barroom is my home away from home
I've had so many doubles my mind is almost gone
When she left she sure did break me I let the bottle slowly take me
So pour me one more daily double me and Jim Beam love to win
Pour me one more daily double me and Jim Beam love to win

I WONDER WHERE MY WANTING YOU WILL END

(Shirl Milete - Warren Robb)
« © '81 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I've lost track of all the times I've woke up wasted
Not knowing where I am or where I've been
Seeking comfort in the wine and painted faces
Oh I wonder where my wanting you will end

Cause I've been wanting you and loving you with every love I've had
Going through the motions every chance I get
So as I close my eyes and make believe again
Oh I wonder where my wanting you will end

Tonight I'll find a stranger I can talk to
And she'll be kind enough to take me in
I've got used to waking up in lonely places
Oh I wonder where my wanting you will end

Cause I've been wanting you and loving you...
Yes I wonder where my wanting you will end

SOMEDAY SOON

(Ian Tyson)
« © '63 WB Music, ASCAP »
There's a young girl that I know she just turned twenty-one
She comes from down in southern Colorado
I just out of the service and I'm lookin' for my fun
Someday soon she'll go with me someday soon

Her parents cannot stand me cause I work the rodeo
They say that he's the kind that'll leave you cryin'
But I know she'll follow me down any road I go
Someday soon goin' with me someday soon

And when I visit her her pa ain't got one good word to say
But it's cause he was just as wild back in his early days
So blow you ol' blue northern blow me on my way
I'm drivin' back from California
I love those danged old rodeos as much as I love her
Some day soon goin' with me someday soon

And when I visit her...
Some day soon goin' with me someday soon

LOSER AND A FOOL

(Charlie Craig)
« © '81 Screen Gems Music, BMI / Day Dreamer Music, BMI »
We met each other two jilted lovers
Pickin' up the pieces in the dark
One night together won't last forever
It ain't love but it's a start

Two empty glasses two stories told
Twenty minutes after the honky tonk has closed
Midnight is over it's just me and you
Gettin' over someone a loser and a fool
[ guitar - steel ] Don't put it down love on the rebound
Lonely people need someone to hold
You can't be her and I can't be him
But it's better than no where else to go

Two empty glasses two stories told...
Two empty glasses two stories told...

THERE'S NOTHING MORE DESPERATE (THAN AN OLD DESPERADO)

(Dan Mitchell - Kent Blazy - Michael Masson)
« © '81 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
He's rounded fifty looks like he's fourty
Acts like he's thirty and wishes he was
He burns with the hunger he had when he was younger
But the flame's not as hot now as it used to be

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado
Afraid that he's let all his best days go by
There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado
Who's hurtin' and lonely but too tough to cry
[ dobro ] Each night after sundown he's back on the bottle
Chasin' young women nearly half of his age
But the whiskey just fools him and the ladies can't soothe him
Cause yesterday's stronger than the drink in his hand

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado...

PHOTOGRAPH

(Jimmy Anthony - Dearl Croft - Peggy White)
« © '81 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
He's her strong and stable rock in times of trouble
Her arms reach out to hold him ev'ry night
She just can't let him go Lord knows she's tried it
And she knows that what she's doin' just ain't right
She sleeps with him each night and then each mornin'
She talks with him about the comin' day
Then she gently lifts the corner of the pillow
Tucks him in and sadly turns away

He's just a photograph she keeps beneath the pillow
With his leavin' life has dealt her so much pain
Now her dreams are bent and all her hopes are shattered
Like the glass that's missing from his picture frame

She tried to take his empty hangers from the closet
She's tried hard to force her mind just to forget
She tried once more to throw away the roses
He once gave her but she just can't do it yet
So tonight behind her bedroom door she'll wonder
If tomorrow she can face another day
Then her hand would find its way beneath the pillow
And her fingertips will gently touch his face

He's just a photograph she keeps beneath the pillow...
He's just a photograph she keeps beneath the pillow

RECYCLING MEMORIES

(Bobby Fisher - Chris Blake)
« © '81 Blackwood Music, BMI / Colgems Music, ASCAP / April Music, ASCAP »
I don't save any paper I don't flatten tin cans
I never help with ecology but now I guess I am
I'm still driving my pickup with leaded gasoline
But I'm trying to do my part to use things over again

I'm recycling memories reusing old dreams
Saving the precious past you shared with me
I'm not wasting one time we've touched I keep relivin' each scene
I'm recycling memories of love that used to be
[ piano ] I still use too much water when I water the lawn
Guess I haven't changed that much baby since you've been gone
I wasn't helpin' the world much with environment plans
But I'm saving our memories I use ever one that I can

I'm recycling memories reusing old dreams...
I'm recycling memories of love that used to be
