WHAT I NEED TO DO
(Bill Luther - Thomas W.Damphier)
« © '98 Careers Music, BMI / Cut Out Music, ASCAP »
I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do
I was wastin' her time waitin' on dreams that just weren't coming true
And this ole highway seems to understand
Leadin' me off to somewhere where no one knows my name
I got the windows rolled down I got the radio up
I'm doing all that I can to get my mind off us
What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can till I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on and on and on
Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rouge
There's a buddy of mine says he might find some work that I can do
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville Tennesee
I know my baby sister has got a couch where I can sleep
Now the sun's going down on my broken heart
Lord I gotta get back before I go too far
What I need to do..
Knowing what I need to do girl I'm coming home to you
Knowing what I need to do girl I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you

HOW FOREVER FEELS
(Wendell Mobley - Tony Mullins)
« © '99 New Works Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / WB Music, ASCAP »
Big orange ball sinkin' in the water toes in the sand couldn't get much hotter
Little umbrella shaped margaritas coconut oil tannin' senoritas
Oh now I know how Jimmy Buffett feels
Hands on the wheel cruisin' down the interstate gas pedal sticks carries my car away
I was going fast as a Rambler goes I could feel the speed from my head to my toes
Oh now I know how Richard Petty feels
I've been around the block a time or two done almost everything a boy can do
I've done some livin' yeah I've had fun but there is one thing that I haven't done
Saved two months bought a little diamond tonights the night feels like perfect timin'
Down on one knee on momma's front steps man I'm gonna die if she really says yes
I wanna know how forever feels
I've been around the block...
I wanna know how forever feels hey I wanna know how forever feels
Girl I wanna know how forever feels

YOU HAD ME FROM HELLO
(Skip Ewing - Kenny Chesney)
« © '98 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Write On Music, BMI »
One word that's all was said something in your voice called me turned my head
Your smile just captured me you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened but it happens still
You ask me if I love you if I always will
Well you had me from hello I felt love start to grow
The moment I looked into your eyes you want me
It was over from the start you completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know you had me from hello
Inside I built a wall so high around my heart I thought I'd never fall
One touch you brought it down the bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me that I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time I'd let someone in
But you had me from hello...
Thats all you said something in your voice calls me turns my head
You had me from hello
You had me from hello girl I've loved you from hello

KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME
(Brett James)
« © '99 Blackwood Music, BMI / Lub Dub Music, BMI »
She said you never tell me that you love me anymore
So I can't help but wonder if you do
She said if things don't change you'll see me walk right out back door
Cause I've done everything I know to do
I said I don't know just what it is you want from me
She said I only want us back the way we used to be
Then she said kiss me kiss me kiss me hold me hold me
Like you want me like you'll never let me go
She said show me show me that you really love me
And then tell me cause I really need to know
She said kiss me kiss me kiss me
I got down on my knees right there and I promised her I'd change
Cause deep inside I knew that she was right
I said I know we've drifted and there's only me to blame
But I don't wanna waste another night
Somewhere in the darkness there we found a brand new start
As I took every word she whispered straight to heart
She said kiss me...
Kiss me

LIFE IS GOOD
(Steve Bogard - Jeff Stevens)
« © '99 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Darlin' if you think back to the heartbroken past before we found each other
It's so amazin' it's almost crazy
What a difference looking through the eyes of love
Life is good the grass is green the good Lord smilin' on you and me
Gonna knock on wood
Sweet sunshine everywhere I look you love me like no one could
Life is good
[ fiddle ]
People stop me on the street thinking I'm the old me
Talkin' about the bad old days
But ever since you came along them old blues are long gone
I break into a grin and all that I can say
Life is good the grass is green...
Someday girl this old world will try to beat you up
Let 'em bring it on cause everytime we touch
Life is good the grass is green...
[ guitar ]
Life is good the grass is green...
Life is good

EVERYWHERE WE GO
(Paul Overstreet - Billy Aerts)
« © '99 Scarlet Moon Music, BMI / Stormey Music, BMI »
Well I just found this old picture in my wallet of you and me down in Mexico
Just look at us there on that beach on that blanket
That look on our face says all you need to know
Seems like everywhere we go baby love goes everywhere
Everytime our hearts meet love is all around us
Every road we take darling love takes every turn livin' right inside us
I believe love goes everywhere we go
Sometimes I dream we're alone on an island nowhere to go we don't want to leave
All that we have is a world full of time we spend it all on you and me
It's all that we need
Seems like everywhere we go...
I'm so alive when I'm near you
This fire in my heart lights the world when I'm with you
[ steel ]
Every road we take...
I believe love goes everywhere we go everywhere we go

SHE THINKS MY TRACTOR'S SEXY
(Paul Overstreet - Jim Collins)
« © '99 Scarlet Moon Music, BMI / Blackwood Music, BMI / Jelinda Music, BMI »
Plowin' these fields in the hot summer sun over by the gate Lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up open up a throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin' me
She thinks my tractor's sexy it really turns her on
She's always starin' at me while I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
We ride back and forth till we run out of light
Take it to the barn put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
One more teeny weeny ride before take her home
She thinks my tractor's sexy...
Well she ain't into cars or pickup trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up
She thinks my tractor's she thinks my tractor's sexy
Yeah it really turns her on...

CALIFORNIA
(Aimee Mayo - Bill Luther - Chris Lindsey)
« © '99 Careers Music, BMI / Dimensional Songs Of The Knoll, BMI / Silver Kiss Music, BMI »
She lived at the end of a little dirt road in a house where secrets go untold
Barefoot in a cotton dress dark hair in a tangled mess
And a head full of crazy dreams
She said I'm going to California a place where the sun always shines
I'm going to California and I'm leaving everything behind
You can't help but feel a little bit touched
When your daddy loves you a little too much
You can wish on four leaf clover but all the fields have been plowed over
And there's nothing left to do but fly away
She said I'm going to California...
Stars burn like candles on that two lane highway
She made her wish and disappeared on her 18th birthday
She said I'm going to California...
[ guitar ]
I'm going to California and I'm leaving everything behind
[ fiddle ]
Oh California I'm going to California
Oh California leaving it all behind California

BAPTISM
(Mickey Cates)
« © '99 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
[ with Randy Travis ]
The summer breeze made ripples on the pond
And rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond
Daddy in his good hat and momma in her Sunday dress
Watched with pride as I stood there in the water up to my chest
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood
As I sank my toes into that cool East Texas mud
Then it was down with the old man up with the new
Raised to walk in the ways of light and truth
I didn't see no angels just a few saints on the shore
I felt like a newborn baby cradled up in the arms of the Lord
Amazing Grace oh how sweet the sound
There was glory in the air there was dinner on the ground
And my sins which were many were washed away and gone
Along with a buffalo nickel I forgot to leave at home
That seemed like such a small small price to pay
For the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day
Then it was down with the old man...
This road is long and dusty sometimes the soul it must be cleansed
And I long to feel that water rushing over me again
Down with the old man...
I felt like a newborn baby cradled up in the arms of the Lord

WOMAN KNOWS
(Paul Overstreet - Don Sampson - Kenny Chesney)
« © '99 Scarlet Moon Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
She can't put her finger on a single lipstick stain
Perfume doesn't linger in a shirt
There's no matchbook in his pocket with a number and a name
So why does she still hurt
Cause a woman knows when there's another woman
She can feel her all over her man
A woman knows when there's another woman
You can't fool her don't try to think you can
What she don't know won't hurt her that's what he tells himself
So he hides his cheatin' heart inside his chest
He thinks he's put one over but what he doesn't know
Is he's already confessed
Cause a woman knows...
[ guitar ]
A woman knows when there's another woman
You can't fool her don't try to think you can
You can't fool her don't try to think you can

I MIGHT GET OVER YOU
(Kent Blazy - Skip Ewing)
« © '99 I Want To Hold Your Songs, BMI / Reynsong Publishing, BMI /
Write On Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well I opened my heart and I let you in I promised I'd never love again
And still doing what I'd said I'd do someday I might get over you
I wear my ring on a chain now instead of my hand
And I deal with your mem'ries the best I can
I've even been out on a date or two someday I might get over you
Oh I never thought I'd see it but I think I see the light
Now I know that what I have to do is get on with my life
But I can't take another day I can't face another night
So I just take another breath and let it go
If I could ever feel the way I felt I'll take a chance with someone else
And if my heart takes chances too someday I might get over you
Oh I never thought I'd see it...
Well I opened my heart and I let you in I promised I'd never love again
Right now it's still something I still can't do someday I might get over you
Though it may not be till my life is through someday I might get over you
