IT STARTS WITH L
(Sandra Ramos)
« © '96 Lawyers Wife Music, BMI / Reynsong Publishing, BMI »
There ain't no place to dance in town like the VFW when the sun goes down
All the good looking ladies come from miles around to meet
Fred saw Betty Lou Baker for the fourteenth time
He said I'm gonna tell her how I feel tonight
But he didn't know what hit him when he couldn't even move or speak
Well it starts with L and it ands with E
There's a couple short letters stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems to get him all choked up
Yeah it starts with L and it ends with E one tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters go get her ain't nothin' better than love
Betty Lou's that girl with the long blonde hair
Sittin' by herself in the cane-back chair
Anybody looking would think nobody cared but then
Fred is frettin' over yonder sittin' in the corner
Worrying wondering if he's ever gonna
Get the nerve to use that word again
Well it starts with L...
[ guitar ]
Well Fred finally got around and found Betty Lou
Said would ya wanna take a chance on a dance or two
He didn't have a clue what Betty Lou would do in his mind
And then Betty Lou stood up and shook her head
For the longest moment that room went dead
Until she said Fred honey it's about time
Well it starts with L...
It's only four letters go get her ain't nothing better than love

Hey heart I'm falling in love the writing's on the wall
This time try to remember there's two ways to fall
I've falling in I've falling out I've had days when I've had my doubts
Throught it was something I could do without but here I go again
Hey heart I'm falling in love the writing's on the wall
This time try to remember there's two ways to fall
A first kiss a last goodbye a time to laugh and a time to cry
It's no secret after all there's two ways to fall
[ guitar + piano ]
I guess you saw us holding hands heard me mention the word romance
Yeah I know I'm taking a chance but here I go again
Hey heart I'm falling in love...
It's no secret after all there's two ways to fall

I'LL TAKE TODAY
(Kent M. Robbins - Will Robinson)
« © '94 Longitude Music, BMI / Irving Music, BMI / Seven Summits Music, BMI »
Yeah she's the one the one I told you all about
Yeah it was serious but it was long ago
She just might walk over here and give me a kiss for old times
But don't you worry dear old times next to you can never come close
I'll take today over yesterday any day
I'll take lying in your arms tonight over and above any love I've known
Memories may find me but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday any day
I'd be lying if I tried to tell you now
That I've never loved her and she never even cross my mind
But that was yesterday and I don't wanna go back
Here's where I'm gonna stay with you with each tomorrow of my life
I'll take today...
[ guitar ]
Memories may find me...
I'll take today over yesterday any day

NEVER SAY NEVER
(Craig Wiseman - Al Anderson)
« © '96 Almo Music, ASCAP / Mighty Nice Music, BMI / Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI »
I was doing all right I was minding my business
Thinking to myself what a great life this is
Cruisin' through the country rockin' to the radio
I was through with love all the fussing and fighting
It didn't seem worth the thunder and lightning
Made up my mind I was living my life alone
Just when my head was gettin' clearer
Took a little glance in the rearview mirror
Did a double take cause I couldn't believe my eyes
She was right on my bumper in a drop top mustang
Long hair flyin' pulling in the fast lane
Stepped on the pedal cause I couldn't let her pass me by
Well you never can say never when it comes right down to love
Even if you say forever you won't never ever get enough
[ guitar ]
I can't count the times I've been heart busted
Threw up my hands thoroughly disgusted
Swearin' I was never gonna take that fall again
No sooner said then she turned the corner
Suddenly I'm a born again goner tellin' myself this one will never end
Well you never can say never...
Oh you won't ever get enough

LAST DANCE
(Tony Martin - Reese Wilson - Roger Springer)
« © '96 Music Of Stage Three, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / April Music, ASCAP »
Nervous and scared I asked you for a dance
All of my buddies said yeah right fat chance
She'll never go for a good ole boy like you
But somewhere between my stutter and stammer
Before I could ask you'd already answered
And to my surprise you said that you'd love to
And they all laughed when I stepped on your toes
But they got quiet when you moved in close
They lost their smiles when they knew they lost their chance
My two left feet couldn't do a right thing
I looked like a fool but I felt like a king
Oh they got a laugh but look who got the last dance
[ steel ]
Nervous and scared after saying I do
All of my buddies made fun of the new groom
As they stood in line waiting to kiss the bride
They kept us apart dancing with you all night long
But when the band started into their last song
I was the one standing by you side
And they all laughed..
Oh they got a laugh but look who got the last dance

KICK BACK
(Tony Martin - Reese Wilson - Roger Springer)
« © '96 Music Of Stage Three, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / April Music, ASCAP »
When life's little troubles block the road you're going down
Don't beat your head against the wall just find another way around
If the bad guys are winnin' everything you're working for
Maybe you should change the way that you're keeping score
When the weight of the world's about to run you in the ground
You don't have to stand for that you just take it lying down
Kick back relax just let your train of concentration go and jump the tracks
At the end of your rope just cut yourself some slack
If it's more than you can hack kick back
[ steel - fiddle ]
What's the sense of burning up your candle at both ends
Burns twice as bright but half as long and it won't burn again
Quit living for tomorrow cause it never comes to pass
Even when you take it slow life's too fast
We're just spinning round so tell me where's the rush
You only get one ride so prop your feet up
Kick back relax...
[ piano - guitar ]
When you find you're at the bottom on an uphill fight
Don't let your circumstances get you down-right-up-tight
Kick back relax...
Hey go catch yourself some bass kick back

IRRESISTIBLE YOU
(Billy Lawson)
« © '94 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
All day long at the factory I can't do my job
It's not at all like me countin' minutes on the clock
I walk around my guard down like a lovesick fool
All because of mystical sweet little kissable irresistible you
I've lost all myself control I'm like someone I don't know
One taste of your sweet lips and I just can't help myself
Girl you got me where you want me I'm where I wanna be too
All because of mystical sweet little kissable irresistible you
I vowed I'd never take another chance with this heart of mine
I'd have no part of romance after being burned last time
Now here I am my guard down like I swore I wouldn't do
All because of mystical sweet little kissable irresistible you
I've lost all myself control...
[ guitar ]
I've lost all myself control...
All because of mystical sweet little kissable irresistible you

BACKSLIDER'S PRAYER
(Mark D. Sanders - Bob Regan)
« © '96 BMG Songs, ASCAP / Universal MCA Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
He said I know this ain't the time or place but Lord I need to talk
In a business suit in a corner booth in a crowded little restaurant
We all tried not to listen we all tried not to look
But a whole room full of customers and the waitress and the cook
All stopped what we were doin' when he bowed his head
In that silence we heard every word he said
I've been tryin' to do things my way down here on life's highway
Slippin' slidin' sideways tween no way and nowhere
If I could only gain a foothold up there on your high road
Lord if you hear me help me I'll do anything you tell me to
All I've got to offer you is this backslider's prayer
[ piano ]
Well the waitress made the first move when she filled his coffee cup
She said you ain't alone here Mister you're speakin' for the rest of us
I heard some scattered amens and a couple of I've been there's
Then things got back to normal the dishes and the silverware
Were clangin' in the kitchen like an angel's band
As I took my place in line to shake his hand
Cause I've been tryin' to do things...
[ guitar - steel ]
If I could only gain a foothold...

ALL OF THE ABOVE
(Chris Waters - Jon Robbin)
« © '96 Chris Waters Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / Ten Ten Tunes, ASCAP »
I made you a list you can choose from to let me know what you want from me
All you have to do is to choose one it's as simple as ABC
I could be A lover B true C no one else but you and if those choices aren't enough
I could be D evoted E ternally to your love or how about all of the above
Any choice you make is the right one but if indecision has got you stressed
I think I would go for the last one cause that one covers your bases best
Yeah I could be A lover...
[ guitar ]
This is the one time no matter how you choose now darling you can't lose
I could be A lover...
Yeah I could be A lover...
All of the above

SURE
(Hugh Prestwood)
« © '96 Careers Music, BMI / Hugh Prestwood Music, BMI »
You must forgive me if I stare
I've never seen a walking talking answered prayer
Honey it's amazing that you're standing here
I guess God got tired of me bending his ear
Come in and set that suitcase down
It looks like you and I got lose and found
No need to be sorry and don't apologize
You don't need to ask it just look in my eyes
Sure I still feel the same
I still keep the flame I still call your name my love does endure
Sure we can try again honey you just move on in I have always been sure
It was like double deja vu when you came in I saw me come in too
Come in from the rain come in from the blue
I've been missing me as much as I've been missing you
Sure I still feel the same...
Sure as the river's finding its way to the sea
Sure as this road is winding toward eternity
My heart's the rock of ages about you and me
Sure I still feel the same...
