GOOD TIMES
(Bob DiPiero - Anita Cochran)
« © '00 Tree Publishing, BMI / Love Monkey Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Get the keys to the car fill it up with gas
Go down to the bank and pull out a little cash
Forget about the yard forget about the trash
Let's get a little sun
Cause it's five o'clock and the whistle blows
I've been working overtime eight days in a row
Grab a change of clothes and get ready let's go
And have a little fun
Good times good times
It's a good time to let the good times roll
Mile after mile smile after smile headin' down the line
Hey we're having good times good times
Let's not worry about things gone bad
Cause life's too good to live so sad
Worn down torn down tired and trapped
Hey forget about that
Good times good times...
Roll down the windows baby feel the wind blow
Turn up the radio turn up the radio hey turn up the radio
[ guitar ]
Good times good times...

LET THE GUITAR DO THE TALKIN'
(Craig Wiseman - Kelly Garrett)
« © '95 Almo Music, ASCAP / BMG Songs, ASCAP / Tree Publishing, BMI »
I was in a band we were scheduled to appear
At a little roadhouse called the Get Down Here
A cinder block building with a hand-painted sign
Hunkered down straddling the county lines
When the crowd rolled in they were a motley mix
There were truckers and bikers and locals from the sticks
Each one meaner than a cougar in a cage
And the biggest one swaggered right up to the stage
He said we've heard everybody from David Allan Coe
To Chuck Berry singin' go Johnny go go
Got an autographed picture of Elvis on the shelf
So tell me girl what you got to say for yourself
I let the guitar do the talkin' and the whole place started rockin'
My fingertips weren't stoppin' and that big bad dude started boppin'
No need to fuss stop the squalkin' just let the guitar do the talkin'
[ guitar ]
Now he was over in the corner with a chesire smile
The best looking seventeen miles
Sittin' there makin' my poor heart sweat
I knew my chances were a long shot bet
Because a boy like that he's heard every line
And I've never been the silver-tongue kind
But I figured I had me one chance if gettin' that boy to dance
So I cranked up my amp
I let the guitar do the talkin'...
[ guitar ]
In a world of too many words
Sometimes your point is hard to get heard
I think I figured out a little way of gettin' mine through
I just put it on tune it up and called out the court
Hour on counted off pumpin' on my heart and soul
I let the guitar do the talkin'......
[ guitar ]
No need to fuss stop the squalkin' just let the guitar do the talkin'

LAST KISS
(Diane Warren)
« © '00 Realsongs, ASCAP »
I know you're going I know this is goodbye
And I can't make you stay no matter how hard I try
Ooh if you're leaving please grant me this one request
And leave my heart with some happiness
If this is the last kiss let's make it last all night
If this is the last time I'm ever I'm ever gonna hold you
Let me hold you tight till the morning light
If this is the last time ooh we'll ever be together
Then kiss me and baby give me something tender to remember you by
Pull down the shades put your heart next to mine
Tonight give me a chance to feel heaven just one more time
Ooh if you're leaving well honey I'll set you free
Just leave my arms with one sweet memory
If this is the last kiss let's make it last all night...
And if I can't be with you baby all my life
The next best thing is you next to me all through the night
[ guitar ]
If this is the last kiss let's make it last all night...
Then kiss me and baby give me something tender to remember you by

THANKS FOR READING MY MIND
(Bob DiPiero - Anita Cochran)
« © '00 Tree Publishing, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Do you know how glad I am to be in love with you
For the first time in my life I've found a love that's true
Can you hear the my heart speaking to you
It's so hard to tell you it's like a wall you see right through
Thanks for reading my mind you know just what need to say
Time after time before the moment slips away
When I'm lost for words you say the very ones that I can't find
Thanks for reading my mind
Do you feel what I feel when we're making love
A thousand words can be heard with just a simple touch
When there's only silence do you understand
And you reach for my hand it's so good to know of course you can
Thanks for reading my mind...
[ guitar ]
When I'm lost for words you say...
Thanks for reading my mind

THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID
(Victoria Shaw - Anita Cochran)
« © '95 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
That's not what I said but if that's what you heard
Then you didn't hear one single word
We're so far apart something is missing
It makes it hard when no one is listening
I say black you say white I say day you say night
We don't talk anymore without keeping score
I say I need some time all you hear is goodbye in your head
If that's what you heard that's not what I said
Not long ago there was a time
We were so close that you read my mind
Now things that we say end up being hurtful
Lately it seems we go round in circles
I say black you say white...
Oh let's lay down our gloves pay attention to love
It doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong
If we don't change baby it just keeps going on and on
I say black you say white...
Oh if that's what you heard that's not what I said

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
(Bob McDill - Tommy Rocco)
« © '00 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / Milene Musíc, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You're trying to forget but can't believe how long it's taking
You see him on the street and still you feel your poor heart aching
Don't let him know that it hurts that much
Don't let him see it's been that rough
Don't let him think that you even miss him at all
You can cry in your sleep cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
Cause you just hate youself anyhow for crying out loud
If he's out in a crowd then just pretend that you don't see him
Look the other way and make believe that you don't need him
Don't let him take your diginity
Don't let him make you feel so weak
Don't let him think that even crosses your mind
You can cry in your sleep cry in your heart...
[ guitar ]
And if he ever asks just say you're all right
And put on your brightest smile until he's out of sight
Then if you got to cry
You can cry in your sleep cry in your heart...
You can cry in your sleep cry in your heart...

LIVING MY LIFE NOW
(Anita Cochran - Holly Dunn)
« © '00 South Heart Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Leaving here's been a long time coming
But I'm packed and my motor's running
There's nothing here I'm still needing
So I'm gonna let my heart lead me on
By the time you find me gone
I'll be living my life doing things my way taking the highway south
I lost my track but I'm gettin' it back I've got it figured out
I'm living my life now
No more wastin' my time regretting
Just givin' and never getting
I'm takin' my change at winning
I'm makin' a new beginning now
And before the sun goes down
I'll be living my life doing things my way...
Everybody knows better what's better for me
So it's time that I'm breaking these chains so I can be free
[ guitar ]
I'll be living my life doing things my way...
Living my life now I'm living my life now

YOU WITH ME
(Anita Cochran)
« © '00 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
All of my life I've looked for love
But something inside said it wasn't enough
Then there was you That's when I knew it was true
And it feels so right you're here tonight
With all of my heart my soul and my mind
Would you put your hand in mine
And walk with me talk with me
Come with me let's make life complete
Dance with me laugh with me
Forget the world and make love with me
You're everything I'll ever need
All of my strength the breath that I breathe
All of my hopes and my dreams is you with me
Never before have I felt like this
Being with you is a heavenly bliss
Thank God above he sent your love to me
As I hold you tight look in my eyes
I promise you love for the rest of my life
If you put your hand in mine
And walk with me talk with me...
[ strings ]
Walk with me talk with me...
Walk with me talk with me...

GOD CREATED WOMAN
(Bruce Burch - Franny Romeo - Lisa Webb)
« © '00 Lion And Frog Music, ASCAP »
It was a man's world for a day and a half
Adam had a garden for a bachelor pad
But something was missin' in his paradise
Then along came Eve the apple of his eye
Without hesitation he gave into temptation
Cause God created woman to raise a little Cain
Gave her a softer side put fire into her eyes to drive a man insane
He knew what he was doin' cause history has proven
Since God created woman man's never been the same
Old Christopher Columbus would have never set sail
Without a little push from Isabel
Alexander Graham invented the phone
So his wife could ring a bell when she wanted his home
Some feminine persistence can make a world of difference
God created woman to raise a little Cain...
[ guitar ]
It's all a part of the plan for the good of every man
Cause God created woman to raise a little Cain...
Since God created woman man's never been the same

EVERY TIME IT RAINS
(Anita Cochran)
« © '00 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
The sun isn't shining I see the clouds rolling in
It reminds me of the day and the words we said
The thunder and lightning is just about to begin
And I'm out here in the cold that's left over from the storm once again
Cause every time it rains your memory comes pouring in
And every drop that falls it burns like alcohol flowing through my veins
Until the winds of change come and blow the clouds away
I'll still feel the shame and deal with the pain every time it rains
Maybe I'm foolish and I'll get through this I know
It just hurts inside that we couldn't weather our storm
The last time I saw you I knew the damage was done
Cause we didn't make it we didn't get to see
The lightning breaking from the sun
Cause every time it rains...
[ guitar ]
Until the winds of change...

WHAT I LEAVE BEHIND
(Anita Cochran)
« © '00 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Packed my things in a suitcase and I've put them in the car
It's no longer my place I've convinced my heart
You know how much I love you this I can't deny
It hurts to look around this room at what I leave behind
A picture sets of me and you when things were going right
Memories of things we've been through slowly move across my mind
The times we've shared in laughter the moments we've cried
Dreams of happy ever after when I leave behind
Destiny is calling to another place
Still a sea of tears keep falling down my face
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do to have to go on without you
But I'll try to force a smile and say the words goodbye
To what I leave behind
[ steel ]
Packed my things in a suitcase and I've put them in the car
