BACK IN MY ARMS AGAIN
(Rory Bourke - Chris Moore - Lee Roy Parnell)
« © '91 Mama Guitar Music, ASCAP / New Songs De Buro, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
People always say hindsight is 20-20
When it comes to mistakes in love girl I got plenty
But the one that sticks at the most of my mind
Is the night I left you standing on front porch cryin'
Living for the day I can make it all up to you
Till you're back in my arms back in my arms again
Till you're back in my arms I will be whole lonesome till then
And honey I wont eat I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these souls of both of my feet
Till you're back in my arms back in my arms again
Well I'm gettin' to know this town old town like never before
Walking every street knocking on every door
Girl where ever you are I want you back I love you baby and I'm sure about that
Whatever it takes theres nothing that I wont do
Till you're back in my arms...
I must have been a fool I confess to ever let you go I ain't gonna wait
Till you're back in my arms...

AIN'T THAT LOVE
(Kostas)
« © '96 Seven Angels Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
I will always remember the first time that we met
And the first time that I kissed your lips is a thing I won't forget
The special way you held me is the way you hold me still
And I knew right then that you love me and I know you always will
Ain't that love ain't that how it's supposed to be
When two hearts come together as one just like you and me
Ain't that love shining in your eyes
Heaven sent from up above ain't that love
My grandma and my grandpa my momma and my dad
Didn't have a lot of things but love is what they had
Their love kept them together through the many years
Though life was hard they shared it all through the laughter and the tears
Ain't that love...
[ guitar ]
Baby you're the sunshine that brightens up my day
And I will always stand by you darling come what may
And I will always love you to have and to hold
And I'll keep my every promise to you with this band of gold
Ain't that love...
Heaven sent from up above ain't that love

WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
(Mark Alan Springer - Nettie Musick)
« © '96 Murrah Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There's so many things I didn't say and even though it may be too late
I want you to know I still love you so
Every car I meet looks like your car every movie I see you play the leading part
You're on my mind can't leave you behind
When I close my eyes you're all I see in the dark of night you're in my dreams
Throughout the day you're easy to find you're always there when I close my eyes
In my mind I know you're far away but here in my heart nothing has changed
I'm still holding you like I used to
On a busy street in a crowded room wherever I go it's just me and you
Together again girl it never ends
When I close my eyes...
You're always there when I close my eyes

BACK WHERE I COME FROM
(Mac McAnally)
« © '90 Beginner Music, ASCAP »
In the town where I was raised the clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with amazing grace back where I come from
Now you can lie on a riverbank or paint your name on a water tank
Or miscount all the beers you drank back where I come from
Back where I come from where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from
[ guitar + fiddle ]
We learned in the Sunday school who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night tan legs in the broad day light
TVs they were black and white back where I come from
Back where I come from...
[ guitar + fiddle ]
Some say it's a backwards place narrow minds on a narrow way
But I make it a point to say that's where I come from
That's where I come from...
Back where I come from I'm an old Tenneseean
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from
[ guitar + fiddle ]
(That's where I come from that's where I come from)

TURN FOR THE WORSE
(Frank Dycus - Billy Yates - Kerry Kurt Phillips)

There's a fork in the road on my way home
Temptation waits wine women and song
Lord my will breaks where that road bends
And tonight I took a turn for the worse again
Left was home right was wrong
You can bet by now she knows which road I'm on
It's a road I know like the back of my hand
But tonight I took a turn for the worse again
[ guitar ]
My old truck pulls a little to the right
Seems to get a lot worse on Friday night
Things are bad at home Lord I'm sick of work
So tonight I took a turn for the worse
Left was home...
Lord tonight I took a turn for the worse again

ME AND YOU
(Ray Herndon - Skip Ewing)
« © '95 Songs Of Rasyman, BMI / Write On Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Ordinary no I really don't think so not a love this true
Common destiny we were meant to be me and you
Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
We're a dream come true suited perfectly for eternity me and you
Everyday well I need you even more and the nighttime too
There's no way I could ever let you go even if I wanted to
Every day I live I try my best to give all I have to you
I thank the stars above that we share this love me and you
[ guitar ]
Everyday well I need you...
Me and you

TURN OUT THE LIGHT AND LOVE ME TONIGHT
(Bob McDill)
« © '75 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Well I've been lonesome I've been empty I got an achin' way deep down inside
And I need someone someone to hold me
Pull down the shade turn out the light and love me tonight
Don't think about tomorrow it don't matter anymore
We can turn the key and lock the world outside the door
I need you so now come on let go now
Kick off your shoes turn out the light and love me tonight
[ fiddle ]
Well don't you worry we're all alone now let your hair down come sit by my side
Turn off the TV put on some music
Pull down the shade turn out the light and love me tonight
I don't think about tomorrow...
I need you so now...

ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT

Gonna cash my check before the drive through closes
Get my baby a quick sack roses
Put five dollars worth in my pride and joy
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
Gonna take her out to the tasty freeze then
We'll go dancing at the American Legion
When old Bobby does Elvis you swear it's the Real McCoy
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
Oh they ain't much to do in this one life town
But we dont let that us slow us down
If it's to quiet we'll make our own noise
Now you can bet your boots by the end of the week
My pretty little girl is ready for me
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
[ guitar ]
When we had enough of that shakin' and a shoutin'
We'll go fog up the windows in the Smoky Mountains
Have more fun then a couple of tourists and a Polaroid
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy
Oh they ain't much to do...
Another Friday night in the life of a country boy

NO SMALL MIRACLE
(Mickey Cates - Pat Terry)
« © '96 Alabama Band Music, ASCAP »
In a little town down south there's a little clowdboard house
With a wolf outside the door
And in the bedroom there's a light it's been staying on all night
For at least a month or more
The heartaches and the bills keep coming due and with all they're going through
It's no small miracle that love hangs on hearts get weary when hope is gone
In a world where roses wither and die it's no small miracle when love survives
It's been up hill for a while but he still makes her smile
Every now and then
Lately they been finding out it's the little things that count
And they do what they can
He tells her he loves her everyday she says things will be OK
It's no small miracle...
In a world where roses wither and die it's no small miracle when love survives

MY POOR OLD HEART
(Shawn Camp - Gary Harrison)
« © '96 Longitude Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I been a fool for love ever since I was a baby just a rockin' in the cradle
As a rule I was the kind that laid his feelings up front and on the table
I gave her my word so many times just to see 'em tear it apart
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
I wonder just how many times a broken heart can mend
Oh and when I get back on my feet Lord I always fall again
Bridges burned lies goodbyes they've all left some scars
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
[ guitar ]
Well I ought to know by now after all this debt and heartache lessons
I can go with them going through hell tryin' to find a little heaven
Seems to me every woman I meet has leaving down to an art
Oh Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
I wonder just how many times...
Yeah I said bridges burned lies goodbyes they've all left some scars
I said Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
I said Lord have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart
[ guitar ]

IT'S NEVER EASY TO SAY GOODBYE
(Allen Shamblin - Bernie Nelson)
« © '92 Allen Shamblin Music, ASCAP / Almo Music, ASCAP / BMG Songs, ASCAP / Colgems Music, ASCAP »
Jimmy climbs on board of that big old yellow bus it sure looks big in his little eyes
His momma waits as her tears kick up the dust it's never easy to say goodbye
Julie Ray in her pearl white wedding gown has found her wings and it's time to fly
It's all her dad can do to keep from breaking down it's never easy to say goodbye
It ain't easy to ever say goodbye it ain't easy lettin' go of the ones you love
But believe me we'll meet again by and by if not here somewhere up above
I've had friends that I lost along the way they've been call on down the line
Though there time was short I still think about them everyday
It ain't easy to say goodbye
It ain't easy...
[ guitar ]
The time has come to go our separate ways it's all right if you wanna cry
Though I know we'll meet again someday it's never easy to say goodbye
It ain't easy...
If not here some where up above
