HOW'S MY WORLD TREATIN' YOU
(Kerry K. Phillips - Jerry Lateser - Linda Buell)
« © '98 Dimensional Songs Of The Knoll, BMI »
This is just a business call it won't take no time at all
If she don't wanna talk that's fine tell her that I got those papers signed
I'm sure that she'll be glad to know this thing is finally coming to a close
That was really all I had to say but since we're talking hey by the way
How's my world treatin' you are you happy there in my shoes
While I've got you on my phone tell me does she make you feel at home
You've got everything I had to lose is she making all your dreams come true
Oh tell me how's my world treatin' you
She used to treat me like a king oh she was my everything
You took my castle and you stole my crown
When you walked in and turned my world around
How's my world treatin' you...
[ guitar ]
How's my world treatin' you...
How's my world treatin' you how's my world treatin' you
How's my world treatin' you how's my world treatin' you
How's my world how's my world

UNDER THE HOOD
(Bob DiPiero - Al Anderon)
« © '96 Tree Publishing, BMI / Mighty Nice Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI »
Well my first love was a little Corvette all done up in lipstick red
I thought it'd last forever till the motor blew
Well I guess I didn't look close enough it's a little bit just like falling in love
Looks don't mean a thing if the heart ain't true
It might be a cool ride smooth lines
Something been custom made out in Hollywood
But when you get done gazing at the outside
You better start checking out the inside
If you want a love built to last you better look real good
And see what's under the hood
Sporty little model standin' by the door
So I took her for a spin on the old dance floor
Headlights shining bright but nobody home
Now I need somethin' that's more my speed
Got a whole lotta time to find what I need
So I put her in park and headed on off for home
It might be a cool ride smooth lines...
[ guitar ]
Well it might be a cool ride smooth lines...
You better look real good and see what's under the hood

GIVE MY HEART TO YOU
(Bob DiPiero - Walt Aldridge)
« © '97 Tree Publishing, BMI / House Of Fame, ASCAP / Makin Friends Music, ASCAP »
I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl
For a girl whose name I can't recall
Then we broke up
I gave a knee to the football team
Chasing that high school state champ dream
We almost won
I gave junior college almost a year
Then I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks and that's how I got here
I give all my money for a slice of daily bread
I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met
And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer but I give my heart to you
I gave a beard and a head of hair
To a boot camp corporal with a barber's chair
At Camp Le Jeune
I gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for
Twenty-four months not a minute more
I just didn't fit in
Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call
And we gave a body shop a try till we gave up last fall
I give all my money...
[ guitar - steel ]
And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer but I give my heart to you

BUSY MAN
(George Teren - Bob Regan)
« © '98 Teren It Up Music, BMI / Zomba Songs, BMI / BMG Songs, ASCAP »
There's a little boy out in the driveway his basketball in hand
Saying Daddy could we play a little one on one
You pat him on the back and say not now son I'm a busy man
His sister's out on the sidewalk settin' up a lemonade stand
Hey daddy don't you want to buy a glass from me
You say maybe later can't you see I'm a busy man
You got to go got to run hit it hard and get it done
Everyone can see you're going far
You got responsibilities a crazy schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a wastin'
You don't know how right you are busy man
There's a women in the bedroom crying sayin' I thought we had plans
You say honey I'm sorry I'll make it up
When the job slows down and I'm not such a busy man
You got to go got to run...
Have you ever seen a headstone with these words
If only I had spent more time at work
There's a call one day from the office they need you down in Birmingham
You say no way the weekend's mine
I got plans with the kids and a date with my wife I'm a busy man
You got to go got to run take a break and have some fun
Those that love you most say you've come far
Got some new priorities in that schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a wastin'
Now you know how right you are busy man busy man

SHOT FULL OF LOVE
(Bob McDill)
« © '80 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Once I had a heart cold as ice love to me was only for fun
I'd make a mark for each broken heart like notches on the butt of a gun
Once I had a trick up my sleeve and a reputation all over town
I was heartless and cold whatever I'd go I shot down every young girl I found
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit I used to be a heartbreak kid
Then I met you and the next thing I knew there I was oh shot full of love
Who'd have thought that someone like you could take a desperado like me
But oh here I am I'm as meek as a lamb with my bleedin' heart there at your feet
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit...
Shot full of love
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit...
Shot full of love shot full of love
Shot full of love shot full of love
Shot full of love shot full of love
Shot full of love shot full of love

ROCK THIS PLANET
(Michael White - Joe Collins)

I've been on the road since I was a kid
I was born to lead this life I live
Fate placed me among the chosen few
I'm a man with a mission got a job to do
Rock this planet (rock this planet) rock this planet (rock this planet)
The world needs rockin' and I ain't stoppin' till it's done
Well I'd love to stay baby but I've got to run
People everywhere need to have some fun
I've got the message that'll set 'em free
The whole dang world is depending on me
To rock this planet (rock this planet)...
[ guitar ]
We did a show in Tokyo they ate it up
Paris and Rome couldn't get enough
When we were done in London we were Berlin bound
We cranked it up till the Wall came down
Rock this planet (rock this planet)...
Rock this planet (rock this planet)...
The world needs rockin' and I ain't stoppin' till it's done

MISSING YOU
(Rick Giles - Susan Longacre)
« © '92 Careers Music, BMI / Mike Curb Music, BMI / Music Of Stage Three, BMI »
I live for the phone I die for the mail
I took your picture right off the nail
And put it right by my bed so I could see you instead
Of the darkness of night
I hold conversations with you in my mind
They only tighten this knot deep inside
And the aching won't end till I hold you again
If I only survive
Why did you have to go why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind
Missing you missing you
I started a letter I stared at your name
There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain
There was no sound at all
But the slow lonely fall of an unspoken tear
Why did you have to go...
Life may take us in different directions
But I always end up deeper deeper in my true affection
Why did you have to go...
Missing you missing you missing you missing you
(Missing you missing you)
Missing you darling missing you baby missing you missing you

TOUCHY SUBJECT
(Michael Lunn - Gordon Bradberry)
« © '97 Sing A Lunn Songs, ASCAP / New Works Music, BMI »
I'll sit and talk baby all night long
We can discuss whatever you want
We'll share our secrets our little white lies
Before we're through we'll be bona fide worldly-wise
But thtere's one thing I wanna leave in the past
So don't bring it up don't even ask
Cause that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Right now I can't explain it I'm better off without it
Oh I'm begging you please
Don't even whisper one little word about love
Cause that's a touchy subject with me
Don't take the shine off our moment together
It's way too soon to talk about forever
Go ahead and get a little closer to me
But darlin' won't you do me one courtesy
Let's hold off on our wants and our needs
We both know right where that leads
And that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it...
[ sax ]
Touchy subject it hurts to talk about it
It starts rainin' mem'ries and I feel like I'm drownin'
Oh I'm beggin' you please
Don't even whisper one little word about love
Cause that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Right now I can't explain it I'm better off without it
It's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Can't explain it it's a touchy subject

HIS SHOES
(Keith Stegall - Gary Harrison - Carson Chamberlein)
« © '97 Colt'n Twins Music, BMI / Longitude Music, BMI / Tower Street Music, BMI »
I remember the time before you were mine
And I was dying to be in his shoes
Now he's gone away and I'm in his place
But his mem'ry hasn't moved
The shadow he cast just grows larger than life
How can the past cut two hearts like a knife
I can't walk away but how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes
He wasn't a saint so what are these chains
He holds on both of us
You give it your best but you can't forget
And my love's not strong enough
To put out a fire that someone else lit
Or walk in the footprints that never will fit
I can't walk away but how can I stay...
I can't walk away but how can I stay...
[ guitar ]
In his shoes in his shoes in his shoes
Trying to live my life in his shoes

TIME FOR LETTING GO
(Jude Cole)
« © '90 Blackwood Music, BMI »
I've been holding back words and waiting for time
There's a lesson here somewhere I know it's mine
Though I'll remember the promise we made
Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore
It's time for letting go we can't hide what we both know
But ooh the hurtin' grows every time I think it's over
You've been keeping all your secrets inside
I know the truth now baby you don't have to hide
But my mind wanders to the very first day
What a shame things had to turn out this way
Now I know it's time for letting go...
No words could bring back your affection
And no lies could keep me holding on holding on and holding on
Now I know it's time for letting go...
It's time to realize that we're both just living lies
And way down deep inside the time is telilng me it's time for letting go
Let it go I keep telling myself over and over
Let it go but my love's still strong I just can't keep on holding on
I know it's time for letting go time for letting go

AMERICAN DREAM
(Keith Stegall - Gary Harrison)
« © '89 Sixteen Stars Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Well they moved away from the farms they did not own
To live happily ever after on a GI loan
The future was looking bright back in '62
Neath the shadow of atomic bombs and the baby boom
You could take a walk downtown without being afraid
Hey who's the better centerfielder Mantle or Mays
There was chicken in every pot even when times were lean
We thought everybody had a shot at the American dream
Every mother was supposed to look like Donna Reed
Father knew what was best for you and me
Our lives were etched on eight millimeter frames
As we grew up in houses that all looked the same
But there was trouble on the other side of town
It was a time when people began to stand their ground
As the eyes of the world were opened by a man named King
Everybody wanted their share of the American dream
Dream on children dream on
Don't let anybody tell you the dream is gone
As long as there's a God above keep prayin' we never wake up
Keep on dreaming the American dream
Now there's medals on the wall I got back in '91
And a quarter-acre piece of heaven where my kids can run
As I turn off the cable and put my babies to bed
I kiss 'em goodnight and I whisper under my breath
Dream on children dream on...
Keep on dreaming the American dream
