HARD LOVIN' WOMAN
(Don Cook - John B. Jarvis - Mark Collie)

Everybody said Bobby was a little hard headed
If there ever was a book on love Bobby never read it
Susie was a poor boy's dream in a high school sweater
She was ready run but her daddy wouldn't let her
She told her mama how she loved her man she said daddy don't understand
While she was cryin' mama shook her head she took her by the hand and said
It takes a hard lovin' woman takes a hard lovin' woman
Takes a hard lovin' woman to love a hard headed man
Bobby got a job at the West End filling station
He was saving for a diamond ring after graduation
Susie's old man came by for some gas and water
He said boy stay away from my daughter
That night by the light of the moon Bobby climbed to Susie's room
Mama saw 'em pullin' out of the drive but she didn't wake up daddy this time
It takes a hard lovin' woman...
The June weddin' was a big affair daddy even bought a tux to wear
The preacher told them as he joined their hands
Love when you hurt laugh when you can keep hanging on till you understand
It takes a hard lovin' woman...
Takes a hard lovin' woman...

IT IS NO SECRET
(Mike Reid - Mark Collie)
« © '94 Almo Music, ASCAP / Brio Blues Music, ASCAP »
People talk in whisper when you're not sure of the truth
Never caring about the damage they might do
All those little rumors hidden from the light of day
Have a way of sounding like they're true
But it's no secret I'm still in love with you
Too many secrets in this town too many people going round
Telling lies and breaking us in two
So I've come to you myself before you hear it somewhere else
The story going round this time is true
It is no secret it is no secret I'm still in love with you
[ piano ]
They say I'm going crazy well maybe that's a fact
Without you here I don't care if I do
They say I'll never be the same unless you take me back
Well that's one rumor I'll admit is true
It is no secret I'm still in love with you
Too many secrets in this town...

ALL I WANT IS YOU
(James House - Mark Collie)
« © '94 Tree Publishing, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I don't want a lot of things
I don't need a party every night to keep me entertained
I don't want to sing that kind of tune all I want is you
Listen I don't want a pot of gold
I don't need all the silver my bank account can hold
I don't want to be that kind of fool all I want is you
All I want is you all I want to do is love you
Your arms around me tight every day and night I want to
Love you strong and true all I want is you
Mercy naw na na naw na na
[ guitar ]
All I want is you...
All I want is you all I want to
Naw na na naw na na naw na na naw na na

WAITING
(Even Stevens - Hillary Kanter - Mark Collie)
« © '94 ESP Music, BMI »
I've been waiting waitin' on a girl like you
I've been waiting waiting all of my life
I've been waiting waiting on a girl like you
I've been waitin' on a girl like you all of my life
I was running out of patience running out of dreams
Heaven must have sent you to shine a light on me
The moment that I saw you you took my breath away
To answer to a prayer that I've been praying every day
I've been waiting...
[ guitar ]
Everybody told me they told me I was wrong
They said that I was crazy you'd never come along
Now I'm so glad I waited I can't believe you're mine
You touched me and you saved me just in the nick of time
I've been waiting...
I've been waiting I've been waiting
I've been waiting I've been waiting
Yes I've been waiting on a girl like you
I've been waiting I've been waiting I've been waiting

RING OF FIRE
(Merle Kilgore - June Carter)
« © '62 Painted Desert Music, BMI »
Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child oh but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
[ guitar ]
The taste of love is sweet...
Yes it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
The ring of fire

RAINY DAY WOMAN
(Don Cook - John B. Jarvis - Mark Collie)

When I was younger mama used to say
Save you something for a rainy day
When it comes to love mama sure was right
When the wind's howlin' at my door
I let the lightnin' flash I let the thunder roar
I've got a rainy day woman to get me through a lonely night
I've got a woman who can understand to complications of a lonely man
When everything goes wrong everything's alright
She gives me something that's as good as gold
Now it can't be bought and it can't be sold
I've got a rainy day woman to get me through a lonely night
Rainy days rainy nights hold me closer hold me tight
When the wind's howlin'...
[ guitar ]
Rainy days rainy nights hold me closer hold me tight
When the wind's howlin'...
I've got a rainy day woman to get me through a lonely night
I've got a rainy day woman to get me through a lonely night

WHEN YOU BELONGED TO ME
(Don Cook - John B. Jarvis - Mark Collie)
« © '94 Don Cook Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I woke up in your arms last night but you were't laying by my side
Desperately dreaming of the way it used to be
When love was innocent and you belong to me
I walked out in the cold night air half expecting you'd be there
But there was no one on the dark and empty street
Just a memory when you belonged to me
I must have been crazy I must have been blind
To think I could live one day without you on my mind
Here in the darkness my lonely heart can see
I had everything when you belonged to me
[ guitar ]
Here in the darkness...

GOD DIDN'T MAKE ME THAT STRONG
(Don Cook - Mark Collie)
« © '94 Don Cook Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I could put this hammer down I could leave this nowhere town
Say goodbye to all the friends I've known
But when it comes to your sweet love I just can't give it up
Maybe I'm wrong but God didn't make me that strong
I could start my life again cast my fortune to the wind
Walk away from everything I own
But if you take your love away I wouldn't last one more day
Maybe I'm wrong but God didn't make me that strong
I need your love inside me I need your arms to hide me
I need your light to guide me everywhere I go
If you're not standing with me this life ain't worth the living
Maybe I'm wrong but God didn't make me that strong
[ piano - steel ]
I need your love inside me...
Oh maybe I'm wrong but God didn't make me that strong no no no

LONELY STREAK
(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen - Mark Collie)
« © '94 Mike Curb Music, BMI / Posey Publishing, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
[ with Deborah Allen ]
I've got this lonely streak running through my veins
And it's wrapped around my heart like a ball and chain
Well I've got my dreams I'm gonna find some day
If this lonely streak ever goes away
I keep waitin' for my luck to change trying to outrun the rain
But no matter what road I take the destination is still the same
Each time I turn to someone new my mind turns back to you
And I wonder how long I'll be this blue
I've got this lonely streak..
[ guitar ]
I keep waitin' for my luck to change...
I've got this lonely streak..

UNLEASHED
(Gary Nicholson - Mark Collie)
« © '94 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Long tall Lassie from Tallahassee teachin' her high school English classes
But when the bell rings after school puts on her jeans and her high heel boots
Tonight she'll break some cowboy's heart in two she's unleashed love on the loose
Unleashed love on the loose unleashed unleashed love on the loose
[ guitar ]
Oklahoma angel by the name of Alice pourin' hot coffee at the Cowtown Palace
But when her quittin' time comes around she'll trade that apron for a sequined gown
She's out to burn that cowtown down unleashed love on the loose
Unleashed love on the loose unleashed unleashed love on the loose
[ guitar ]
Everybody's gotta be set free everybody's got a heart to feed
Everybody's got a need to be unleashed love on the loose
Unleashed love on the loose unleashed unleashed love on the loose
I got you got to we got to be unleashed uh huh huh
[ guitar ]
Unleashed love on the loose unleashed unleashed love on the loose
[ choir part ]
