TROUBLE'S COMIN' LIKE A TRAIN
(Even Stevens - Hillary Kanter - Mark Collie)
« © '92 ESP Music, BMI »
Woke up on the wrong side this morning thunder rolling in my brain
Walked into an empty closet didn't find a thing
Trouble's comin' like a train
Someone said she met a stranger lucky I don't know his name
The way I feel I've got a mind to share some of my pain
Trouble's comin' like a train
Trouble's comin' I can feel it way down in my bones
Trouble is I never fail to derail when I'm left alone
Callin' out my name trouble's comin' like a train
[ guitar ]
Played my heart just like a joker lost it to the queen of pain
Now she's holding all the aces I'm out of the game
Trouble's comin' like a train
Trouble's comin' I can feel it...
Trouble's comin' like a train trouble's comin' like a train
Trouble's comin' like a train
Woke up on the wrong side this morning

EVEN THE MAN IN THE MOON IS CRYIN'
(Don Cook - Mark Collie)
« © '91 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I walked her to the plane in Phoenix I said say hello to your mama
She couldn't even look me in the eye
I drove out to the desert just like nothin' happened
And somewhere in the darkness I heard her say goodbye
Now I hear voices in the wind sayin' she ain't comin' back again
I look for guidance in the sky but the stars have all gone tonight
I feel like the love of my life is dyin' even the Man in the Moon is cryin'
I'm burnin' up this blacktop headin' down to Austin
I wonder if she misses me tonight
I wish that I could tell her how much I love her
And I wish this damned old thunderbird could fly
Now I hear voices in the wind...
[ piano ]
Now I hear voices in the wind...
Even the Man in the Moon is cryin' even the Man in the Moon is cryin'
Even the Man in the Moon is cryin'

SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME
(Jackson Leap - Mark Collie)
« © '92 Harlan Howard Songs, BMI »
Shame shame shame shame you're stirring up that old flame
I know you'll steal my heart again no way that I can win
Shame shame shame shame
You're like an angel from above a vision any man could love
But deep inside I realize you're just a devil in disguise
Shame shame shame shame...
[ guitar ]
The day you said that we were through I swore that I'd be over you
But to my lonely heart's surprise you walked right back into my life
Shame shame shame shame...
I know you'll steal my heart again no way that I can win
Shame shame shame shame

I don't know what it is that you're doin' to me but keep it up
You've got me acting crazy as a man can be but keep it up
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Girl I wouldn't have it any other way
I think I'm fallin' in love so keep it up
Keep it up keep it up keep it comin' on strong
Keep it up honey hold me all night long
You've got me feelin' higher than a mountain top
I'll give you the rest of my life to stop don't stop
Don't stop baby whatever you do
You know my heart is depending on you
I think I'm fallin' in love so keep it up keep it up honey
[ guitar ]
I can't believe you got me falling in this deep but keep it up
I even love the way you've got me losin' sleep so keep it up
No matter what you hear no matter what you see
Girl keep a weavin' that spell on me
I think I'm falling in love so keep it up
Keep it up keep it up...

SOMETHING'S GONNA CHANGE HER MIND
(Don Cook - Mark Collie)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI / BMG Songs, ASCAP / Judy Judy Judy Music, ASCAP »
She walked right out without a word
She's living back in Jacksonville the last I heard
I wonder if she misses me the way I'm missing her
Another man might let it go but I'm not giving up
Something's gonna change something's gonna change her mind
I don't know what I don't know how I know it's just a matter of time
She'll wake up and wanna be back in these arms of mine
Oh something's gonna change something's gonna change her mind
Nights get lonely by myself but I don't wanna give my love to someone else
What we had between our hearts means too much to me
True love doesn't die that easily
Something's gonna change...
Something's gonna change her mind
I don't know what I don't know how...
Something's gonna change something's gonna change her mind
Something's gonna change something's gonna change her mind

HEART OF THE MATTER
(Don Cook - Mark Collie)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI / BMG Songs, ASCAP / Judy Judy Judy Music, ASCAP »
Come here sit down I need to talk to you
Our love's on shaky ground I know you feel it too
Honey talk to me I can't read your mind our precious love is on the line
You've got to get right to the heart of the matter
When it comes to matters of the heart
Cause hearts are all that really matter when the world is falling apart
[ steel - guitar ]
I love you so you need to know
I'd walk through hell itself before I'd let you go
What can I do honey tell me the truth I need to hear it from you
You've got to get right...
Our hearts are all that really matter when the world is falling apart

BORN TO LOVE YOU
(Don Cook - Chick Rains - Mark Collie)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI / BMG Songs, ASCAP / Judy Judy Judy Music, ASCAP »
Some people go through life never knowing why they're here
They never find someone like you
The moment I touched your hand and looked into your eyes
I knew what I was meant to do
I was born to love you I was born to love you
I was born to love you till the day I die
I was born to love you I was born to love you
I was born to love you till the day I die
[ steel ]
Sometimes when I'm holding you it feels just like a dream
And fear cuts through me like a knife
If I should wake up what would I do if you weren't laying by my side
I was born to love you...

LINDA LOU
(Even Stevens - Hillary Kanter - Mark Collie)
« © '92 ESP Music / BMG Songs, ASCAP / Judy Judy Judy Music, ASCAP »
On the day I met you what a stroke of luck
You were buying you a Pepsi I was gasin' up my truck
Then Cupid's arrow hit me like a bolt out of the blue
And I fell like a tree at the feet of Linda Lou
Little Linda Lou you take my breath away
What am I to do when you look at me that way
Everybody wants you girl you know it's true
You break a heart everytime you turn around
And just like every other guy in town
I've gotta try even if you shoot me down Linda Lou
[ guitar ]
I have known some women sweet as they can be
But you were ripe for picking like an apple off a tree
But the look your daddy gave me said you're forbidden fruit
But I want you more than Adam wanted Eve Linda Lou
Little Linda Lou...
Little Linda Lou...
Linda Lou Linda Lou Linda Lou

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK
(Don Cook - John B. Jarvis - Mark Collie)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI
/ BMG Songs, ASCAP / Judy Judy Judy Music, ASCAP / Inspector Barlow Music, ASCAP »
He wants to work and make a living his heart is strong his hands are willing
Fifteen years he ain't missed a day now there's a lock on the factory gate
All he wants is the life that he thought he had is that too much to ask
Little girl on the city streets prays to God for some food to eat
Looking for a place that's warm holding on to her mama's arm
Someone stole her dreams and she wants them back is that too much to ask
Is that too much to ask a little peace of mind
A little brotherhood the everlasting kind
[ guitar ]
I want a life that's worth the living when I sin I want to be forgiven
I want the comfort of a woman's love I want the moon and the stars above
I want my children's children to have a chance is that too much to ask
Is that too much to ask...
[ guitar ]
Is that too much to ask is that too much to ask

HILLBILLY BOY WITH THE ROCK'N ROLL BLUES
(Ronny Scaife - Mark Collie)
« © '87 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
It feels like ice water down in my veins flowing like river full of heartache and pain
Losing that woman I'm payin' my dues just a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues
Still there's a fire down in my soul burning with a feeling I can't control
She says it's over but I can't turn loose just a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues
Fast city nights have taught me the truth love comes and goes you win or you lose
When it's all over it's hard to turn loose for a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues
[ guitar ]
Somebody turn on the jukebox and play Don't be Cruel
For a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues
For a hillbilly boy with the rock'n roll blues yeah yeah
