JUST ONE MORE TIME
(Tony O. Villanueva - Brian S. Hofeldt)
« © '97 Hofeldt Songs, BMI / Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Just one more time I'll let you have your way with me
One more time sweet darling I'll have to set you free
You made me a prisoner and loving you's my crime
But I'll let you have your way just one more time
Just one more time I'll let you walk back through that door
One more time from now on I'm keeping score
Your heart is full of poison but loving you's so fine
So I'll let you have your way just one more time
Leave me if you don't need me go on and make up your mind
Never again will you hear me say
That I'll let you have your way just one more time
[ guitar - steel ]
Just one more time...
Leave me if you don't need me...
Just one more time just one more time just one more time

LOVER'S LIE
(Tony O. Villanueva)
« © '97 Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
You came home this morning wearing the clothes you wore last night
Dress so wrinkled hair all out of place
You say you fell asleep at your sister's watching movies
But that's not the picture showing on your face
I have every right to ask questions but you know I'm not one to pry
I don't wanna live with the sad truth I'd much rather live a lover's lie
[ guitar ]
Your love for me is now a cup half full
You fill the other half at another well
Now my love for you now is thunder without rain
And it's been so long since the last drop fell
I have every right...
[ guitar - steel ]
Yes I have every right...
No I don't wanna live with the sad truth I'd much rather live a lover's lie

CALIFORNIA ANGEL
(Tony O. Villanueva - Brian S. Hofeldt)
« © '97 Hofeldt Songs, BMI / Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
California angel I dream of you each night
I'm back here in Texas but you're still on my mind
We were in the Golden State when we held each other tight
California angel I dream of you each night
Well since we met I can't forget the sweet taste of your lips
Everytime I think of you my heart just goes a flip
The wine they make up north there never make me feel this way
I only hope to hold you in my arms again someday
California angel...
[ guitar - organ ]
Well you shook me like an earthquake when I looked into your eyes
Kissed again a thousand times then said our goodbyes
The words I whispered in your ears on the night we met were true
Memory of our sweet love just breaks my heart in two
California angel...
California angel I dream of you each night

CAN'T STOP A TRAIN
(Tony O. Villanueva - Brian S. Hofeldt)
« © '97 Hofeldt Songs, BMI / Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Another mile another mem'ry of a love I'm tryin' to forget
There's no cure for my misery or I haven't found it yet
Can't stop a train can't stop a heart I'm feeling pain when it's falling apart
Can't keep the one you love from changing when it's rolling can't stop a train
Our love is a raging fire that consumes my heart and soul
It ran hot right down to the wire when it burns out of control
Can't stop a train...
Where is our love was it just a sweet dream
So good while it lasted now it's gone moving on can't stop a train
[ guitar ]
Can't stop a train...
[ guitar ]
Can't stop a train

I DON'T BELIEVE I'LL FALL IN LOVE TODAY
(Harlan Howard)
« © '61 Central Songs, BMI »
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
For if I did I know I wouldn't stay
I just can't make my heart find someone new
It's always much too busy loving you
Each night I pray I'll wake at dawn and find
Another in my heart and on my mind
And I'll wake and hear my poor heart say
That I don't believe I'll fall in love today
[ guitar - fiddle - steel ]
I don't believe I'll fall in love today
Old memories of you stand in the way
They'd come between us like they always do
Somehow they'd never measure up to you
Each night I pray I'll wake...

PAWNSHOP WEDDING RINGS
(Tony O. Villanueva - Monte Warden)
« © '97 Hollywood Avenue Music, BMI / Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Pawnshop weddin' rings so many shattered dreams
Broken vows from lovers who gave up
But you can count on me to be yours faithfully
And stand beside you when push comes to shove
And these pawnshop weddin' rings are gonna learn about love
I couldn't give you a ring that's new but I can give you a ring of truth
And a love that won't grow old shining like that band of gold
Put your hand in mine and everything'll work out fine
Together I know we can rise above
And these pawnshop weddin' rings are gonna learn about love
[ guitar ]
I imagine on our weddin' day when we stand in front of the preacher and say
We'll stay together till death do us part and give those rings a brand new start
Pawnshop weddin' rings so many shattered dreams
Broken vows from lovers who gave up
These pawnshop wedding rings are gonna learn about love
They're gonna learn about love they're gonna learn about love
They're gonna learn about love

NO ONE TO TALK TO BUT THE BLUES
(Wayne P. Walker - George Cherry)
« © '97 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Last night I came home but you weren't there
Found all my things thrown everywhere
No one to talk to no one to talk to but the blues
Oh I read your letter signed I love you
But in your letter said we were through
No one to talk to no one to talk to but the blues
Sometimes when we quarrel the things that are said
Can make you feel bitter when you'd rather feel love instead
Well come on back home where you belong I love you baby yes I was wrong
No one to talk to no one to talk to but the blues
[ steel - guitar ]
Sometimes when we quarrel...
No one to talk to no one to talk to but the blues

DULL EDGE OF THE BLADE
(Tony O. Villanueva - Brian S. Hofeldt)
« © '97 Hofeldt Songs, BMI / Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Do you remember all the good times we had
Think of those days daring forget about the bad
It was a time we had everything it seems
I'm missing you and wishing I hadn't treated you so mean
I'm tossing and I'm turning in the bed that I made
And loneliness is cuttin' me with a dull ede of the blade
With the dull edge of the blade
[ guitar ]
Yeah I'm still breathing I still walk and eat some too
Honey I'm not bleeding my heart is black and blue
Minutes pass by like hours and last night eternity
I'm hoping that someday you'll find your way back to me
Cause I'm tossing...
[ steel ]
Yeah I'm still breathing I still walk and eat some too
Honey I'm not bleeding my heart is black and blue
I'm tossing...
Loneliness is cuttin' me with a dull ede of the blade

TEARS IN YOUR EYES
(Brian S. Hofeldt - Vic Gerard)
« © '97 Hofeldt Songs, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / Vic Versa Music, BMI »
Tears in your eyes tears in your eyes
I found out the truth about you now there you lie
Tears in your eyes I made you cry
I'm sorry I'm not sorry for those tears in your eyes
I told you not to ever do me wrong apparently it didn't take you long
Like sand through my fingers I try to hold my anger
But honey I guess I just ain't that strong
Tears in your eyes...
How dare you cry and try to play the victim your reputations run all over town
Baby can't you see this time you won't fool me
Cause honey this time I won't be your clown
Tears in your eyes...
[ guitar ]
Tears in your eyes...
I'm sorry I'm not sorry for those tears in your eyes

IT'S TOO LATE
(Tony O. Villanueva - Dale Watson)
« © '97 Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / Watson Texas Music, BMI »
We had our chance to make those vows
Fell in love there out somehow at least you did
I kept the flame burning bright but to save my foolish pride I kept it hid
It's too late I can hear the church bells ringing
Lord it's too late listen to the choir singing
Then the tears are welling up and my heart's about to break
When the ring goes on your finger it's too late
Hold his hand and say I do and he'll say the same to you and you won't hesitate
So there you are here I am a fool alone wondering why did I wait
It's too late I can hear...
[ guitar - steel ]
Well if I knew then what I know now I'd not have been so doggone proud
It's too late I can hear...
It's too late I can hear...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO
(Tony O. Villanueva - Dora DeLaRosa)
« © '97 Que Rancho Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
It wouldn't be right for you to leave me
Our love has traveled such a long way
I'd almost understand if it was raining
But darling it's such a sunny day
You don't have to go I'm begging you to stay
My love for you grows stronger every day
See it in my eyes feel it in my heart
It's rainbow in the sky let's make a brand new start
Your bags are packed you ain't going nowhere
I can't let you go without a kiss
Before you close the door I hope you change your mind
Without you my darling my life's an awful mess
You don't have to go...
[ ac.guitar - accordion ]
Traeme tu calor te ruego otra vez no me dejes solo me muere de querer
Mirame amor mira mi razon sin ti me quedo triste se me quebra el corazon

PAINFUL DAYS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
(Tony O. Villanueva)
« © '97 Que Rancho Music / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Don't keep your love from me bring it over
To these loving arms that long to hold you tight
I should thank you for showing me the meaning
Of those painful days and sleepless nights
Each day hurts more than the day before
And each lonely night seems to never end
No no all that's left here to hold me tight
Are those painful days and sleepless nights
[ guitar - fiddle - steel ]
I'm still here in misery where you left me
And I must be a sad and lonely sight
You must be making sure I know full well the meaning
Of those painful days and sleepless nights
Each day hurts more...
Yes those painful days and sleepless nights

COME BACK
(Tony O. Villanueva)
« © '97 Que Rancho Music / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Since you've been gone somebody stole my brand new car
And I keep breakin' strings on this here guitar
There ain't nothing the way it ought to be since you left me
Since you been gone I don't go to work no more
And I spend most the time staring at the door
Well a man just came and he took away my TV since you left me
Since you been gone I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Since you left me nothing turns out right
Come back to me baby come back to me baby
Come back to me baby come back to me baby
Come back to me baby now that things ain't right
[ guitar ]
Since you've been gone somebody stole my brand new car
And I keep breakin' strings on this here guitar
There ain't nothing the way it ought to be since you left me
Come back to me baby...
Come back to me baby...

RASPBERRY BERET
(Prince)
« © '97 Controversy Music, ASCAP »
I was working part-time at a five and dime my boss was Mr McGee
He told me many times he didn't like my style said I was too leisurely
Well I was busy doing something close to nothing but different than the day before
That's when I saw her ooh Lord I saw her she came in through the outdoor
Wearing that raspberry beret the kind you buy at a second-hand store
Raspberry beret and when the weather was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret I think I love her
[ guitar ]
Built like she was she had the nerve to ask me if I planned to do her any harm
So I put her on the back of my motorcycle and took her down to the farm
Now overcast days never turned me on but something bout the clouds and her mixed
You know that little girl she wasn't very bright but she knew how to get a kiss
Wearing that raspberry beret...
[ guitar - bass ]
The horses wonder who you are
Something about thunder and lightning you feel like a movie star
Now I heard it said the first time ain't the greatest
Ah but I'm here to tell ya I would not change a stroke
Cause you know I'm the most
Especially with the honey that come in the door
Wearing that raspberry beret...
I think I love her
