TEQUILA TALKING
(Chris Waters - Bill LaBounty)
« © '95 Ensign Music, BMI / Music Of Stage Three, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I called about that conversation that I had with you last night
It must have been a combination of shooters and neon lights
And I didn't really mean to say I've been losing it since you left
Yeah I might have said the words but they came from somewhere else
It was just the tequila talking when I told you I'm still not over you
I get a little sentimental and I had one or two
And that tear in my eye was the salt and the lime
Not the memory of you walking
If I said I'm still in love with you it was just the tequila talking
I don't know what they put in Cuervo that makes me say such things
Usually I wouldn't care so much or make such a scene
But seeing you there in that dress you're wearing
Just drove me right out of my head
So don't hold me responsible for anything I might say
It was just the tequila talking...
If I said I'm still in love with you it was just the tequila talking

NO NEWS

She said it's just a woman thing and pulled out of the drive
I said not to worry I'm an understanding guy
I've heard that when you love someone you've gotta let 'em go
She hollered when I find myself you'll be the first to know
Ooh ooh no news
I'velearned to do the laundry feed the cat and clean the house
I promised to be patient while she worked her problems out
When she packed her bags her destination wasn't clear
But I sensed that her intentions were honest and sincere
Ooh ooh no news
She could telephone tell a friend tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon send a fax write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke tap it out in Morse Code
I prefer a bad excuse to no news
Her mama's been a little vague as to her whereabouts
Her sister says I'm certain your romance has headed South
I don't have a single doubt that she's still in love
My level of anxiety is just a product of
Ooh ooh no news
She could telephone...
She missed her bus missed her plane surely this can be explained
Lost her car at the mall got locked in a bathroom stall
Playing guitar with The Band on the road with Pearl Jam
Buried with The Grateful Dead came back as a Parrot Head
Got derailed got de-iced offered as a sacrifice
FBI CIA if they've seen her they ain't saying
No news still no news

RUNNIN' AWAY WITH MY HEART
(Sam Hogin - Mark D. Sanders - Michael Britt)
« © '95 Tree Publishing, BMI / MCA Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Hey buddy can you get me some faster wheels
I got a heartache nipping at my heels
I'll be hurtin' if she gets a big head start
First that girl stole my attention not to mention all my affection
Now she's runnin' away with my heart
I don't know where she's bound but I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight even when I'm holding her tight
She's runnin' away with my heart
[ guitar - steel ]
No don't tell me bout the speed limit I'll go a million miles a minute
Till I run the wheels right off of this car
I know exactly what I'd be losing that's why I'm doing what I'm doing
She's runnin' away with my heart
I don't know where she's bound...
She's runnin' away with my heart

I can see it in your eyes you're livin' a troubled life
And you've been hurtin' more and more these days
You don't have to hide it don't even have to fight it
Baby all you have to do is just turn and walk away
When you're tired of it all when tears need to fall
You back's to the wall come cryin' to me
You don't have to be strong you don't have to hold on
You've been there too long come cryin' to me
I'll leave the living room light burning all night
No don't even pack don't even look back baby come cryin' to me
[ guitar ]
You can get beyond this all those empty promises
They don't have to hold you down no more
Nothing to explain to me you don't even need a key
All you gotta do is knock and I'll unlock the door
When you're tired of it all...
[ guitar ]
I'll leave the living room light burning all night
No don't even pack don't even look back baby come cryin' to me
Baby come cryin' to me baby come cryin' to me
Baby come cryin' to me baby come cryin' to me

YOU WALKED IN
(Robert J. Lange - Bryan Adams)
« © '97 Badams Music, ASCAP / Zomba Enterprises, ASCAP »
Everybody's talking bout the supermodel world
Cindy Naomi and that whole bunch of girls
Redheads brunettes and blondes with blue eyes
They come in every shape yeah they come in every size
You know I love everything they do I check 'em out on every Pay-Per-View
Ah but honey that was way before I met you
(You walked in) with legs up to your neck (you walked in) I'm a physical wreck
(You walked in) I've lost my cool babe what'd you expect
When you walk in baby love begins when you walk in baby oooh my my
When you come around my jaw hits the ground
When you shake your thing I jump out of my skin
When you cross the floor I scream more baby more
When you flash your smile you drive me wild yeah
Everybody's checkin' out the glossy magazines
Madonna Diana you know the whole scene
The covergirls the centerfolds and every movie star
And all those pretty ladies down there at the local bar
I couldn't think of nothin' better to do than checkin' out a little wiggle or two
Ah but honey that was way before I met you
(You walked in) with legs up to your neck...
[ fiddle ]
I couldn't think of nothin' better to do than checkin' out a little wiggle or two
Ah but honey that was way before I met you
When you walk in baby love begins...
Yeah you drive me wild
When you walk in baby love begins...

EVERYTHING'S CHANGED
(Larry Boone - Paul Nelson - Richie McDonald)

Funny you should show up after all of these years
Everything sure has changed around here
Seen a lot of strangers since they put that interstate through
Oh this ain't the same town that we once knew
They put up the plant where we used to park that old drive-in's a new Wall-Mart
The cafe is closed where our names were carved on that corner booth
Oh everything has changed except for the way I feel about you
[ steel ]
That westbound to Santa Fe don't stop here no more
You were one of the last to get on board
That street that we grew up on you wouldn't recognize
Girl nothing's been the same since you said goodbye
They put up the plant...
[ guitar - steel ]
They put up the plant...
Yeah everything's changed except for the way I feel about you

AMAZED
(Marv Green - Aimee Mayo - Chris Lindsey)

Every time our eyes meet this feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you it just keeps gettin' better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side forever and ever
Every little thing that you do baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin the taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do...
[ guitar ]
Every little thing that you do...

SMILE
(Chris Lindsey - Keith Follese)
« © '99 Songs Of The Knoll, BMI »
I still remember the night we met you said you loved my smile
But your love for me was like a summer breeze oh it lasted for a while
I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go
So I'm gonna smile cause I want to make you happy
Laugh so you can't see me cry I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me I'm gonna smile
Kiss me once for the good times baby kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help how you don't feel and it doesn't matter why
Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
Cause that's how I want you to remember me
I'm gonna smile...
[ fiddle ]
I'm gonna smile so you can find the courage
Laugh so you won't see me hurtin' I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me I'm gonna smile

WHAT ABOUT NOW
(Anthony Smith - Aaron Barker - Ron Harbin)
« © '99 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP / Notes To Music, ASCAP / Ron Harbin Music, ASCAP /

The sign in the window said for sale or trade
On the last remaining dinosaur Detroit made
Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal
For a four hundred horsepower jukebox on wheels
And that road rolls out like a welcome mat
I don't know where it goes but it beats where we're at
We always said someday somehow
We were gonna get away gonna blow this town
What about now how bout tonight baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends that we've been talking about
What about now why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
[ guitar ]
We've been puttin' this off baby long enough
Just give me the word and we'll be kickin' up dust
We both know it's just a matter of time
Till our hearts start racin' for that county line
What about now...
We could hang around this town forever making plans
But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance
What about now...
Yeah oh oh what about now

TELL HER
(Craig Wiseman - Mark McClendon)
« © '99 Almo Music, ASCAP / BMG Songs, ASCAP »
So you say your love's about to end
You say you can't take no more she's out the door
And your looking for a friend
Who am I to tell you why
But I'm just curious were you furious
Or did you swallow your pride and look her in the eye
And tell her that you love her tell her that you need her
Tell her that you want her to stay
Reassure her with a kiss she may never know unless
Show her what your feeling tell her you're believing
Even though it's hard to say
Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her
So open up and tell her that you love her
Brother I've been right where you are now
And my heart was broke cause I never spoke
Those healing words out loud
But I've learned my lesson well
And now every night before I close my eyes
I look at my woman and I ask myself
Did you tell her that you love her...
[ fiddle ]
Oh tell her that you love her..

I'M ALREADY THERE
(Gary Baker - Frank J. Myers - Richie McDonald)
« © '01 Josh Nick Music, ASCAP / Swear By It Music, ASCAP /

He called her on the road from a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone said daddy when you're coming home
He said the first thing that came to his mind
I'm already there take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
I'm already there don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind and I'll be there till the end
Can you feel the love that we share oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart but I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind and I'll be there till the end
Can you feel the love that we share oh I'm already there
There I'm already there

WITH ME
(Brett James - Troy Verges)
« © '01 Songs Of Universal, BMI / Sony Tunes, ASCAP / Teracel Music, ASCAP »
Sometimes I feel just like a fly in a soup bowl
Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of a heap
Sometimes I feel like I'm the king of the castle
Sometimes I feel like just a bump on a street
I got my highs and lows some days it's touch and go but baby this I know
When you're with me I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet on the end of my chain
Oh when you kiss me my head starts spinning
It's like you're sending the adrenaline straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain all my worries wash away when you're with me
[ fiddle ]
You are a lazy summer day on a porch swing
You are a night running wild on the town
My red Ferrari racin' me down a back street
My pick-me-up when I'm a little bit down
No matter where I go whatever dice I roll baby this I know
When you're with me...
[ guitar ]
When you're with me
I got my highs and lows no matter where I go but baby this I know
When you're with me...
Oh yeah when you're with me
When you're with me...

NOT A DAY GOES BY
(Steve Diamond - Marybeth Derry)
« © '01 American Broadcasting Music, ASCAP »
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
Got a mem'ry of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you asked me how I'm doing I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
After all this time you're still with me it's true
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside
Baby baby oh baby not a day goes by
I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night
Thinking you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark
Wishing you were next to me with your head against my heart
If you asked me how I'm doing I'd say just fine
But the truth is baby if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by...
Minutes turn to hours and the hours to days
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way
Not a day goes by...
That I don't think of you

MY FRONT PORCH LOOKING IN
(Don Pfrimmer - Frank J. Myers - Richie McDonald)
« © '03 Don Pfrimmer Music, ASCAP / Sassy Mule Music, ASCAP /
Sixteen Stars Music, BMI / Frank Myers Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look out my front porch at this panoramic view
I can sit and watch the fields fill up with rays of golden sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences like that's where it was hung
But my blessings are in front of me it's not about the land
I'll never beat the view of my front porch looking in
There's a carrot-top that can barely walk with a sippy cup of milk
A little blue-eyed blonde with her shoes on wrong that likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holdin' both of them
Yeah the view I love the most is my front porch looking in
I've traveled here and everywhere following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home to the one woman made for me
Cause everywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away like my front porch looking in
There's a carrot-top...
I see what beautiful is about when I'm looking in not when I'm looking out
There's a carrot-top...
There's a carrot-top...

I PRAY
(Chuck Cannon - James D. Hicks)
« © '03 On The Mantel Music, BMI / Wacissa River Music, BMI »
I can't quote the Bible I skipped Sunday school
And I can't count the times I fell and broke the golden rule
So I don'I know if he listens sometimes I wonder if he cares
Maybe I'm just wishing cause I can't even prove he's there
But I pray he'll watch over my children I pray just to be a better man
To find the strength to rise above to be there for the ones I love
To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day I pray
Now I confess that I don't bow my head as often as I should
Mostly just when times are bad rarely when they're good
And I don't hold with too much preachin' but I was raised up to believe
That a man can't ever stand as tall as when he gets down on his knees
So I pray he'll watch over my children...
So I pray for a world that's gone half crazy I pray for every woman child and man
To find the strength to rise above to teach each other how to love
To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day I pray I pray

WALKING IN MEMPHIS
(Marc Cohn)
« © '91 Famous Music, ASCAP »
Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues in the middle of the pouring rain
WC Handy won't you look down over me
Cause I got a first-class ticket and I'm as blue as a boy can be
Walking in Memphis walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis but do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis down on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him they just hovered round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing waitin' for The King down in the Jungle Room
Walking in Memphis...
They've got catfish on the table they've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you when you haven't got a prayer
You've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano every Friday for the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her and they asked me if I would
Do a little number and I sang with all my might
And she said tell me are you a Christian child and I said ma'am I am tonight
Walking in Memphis...

LOVE CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND
(Bob Farrell - Regie Hamm)
« © '01 Famous Music, ASCAP »
I've waited all of my life to find my destiny
Then like a sunrise appears you came to me
I never knew it before that I could feel this way
I thought I'd lost my faith but since you captured my heart I can say
Oh that love can change your mind I know love can move your heart and soul
And just when you think hope has gone and left you behind
Love can change your mind
Oh oh picture it if you will heaven right here on earth
Suddenly everything's new now I can see what believing was worth
Oh cause love can change...
I was so lost and alone I felt like my angels had flown away
But now my heart has come home and I know that it's here to stay
Oh cause love can change your mind
And just when you think hope has gone and left you behind
Oh love can change...

GIMME ALL YOUR LOVIN'
(Frank Beard - William F. Gibbons - Joe M. Hill)
« © '03 Songs Of Mosaic, ASCAP »
I got to have a shot of what you got is oh so sweet
You got to make it hot like a boomerang I need a repeat
Oh gimme all your lovin' all your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin' don't let up until we're through
You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead
If I blow my top will you let it go to your head
Oh oh oh gimme all your lovin'...
[ guitar ]
You got to move it up and use it like a screwball would
You got to pack it up work it like a new boy would
Oh gimme all your lovin'...
Yeah gimme all your lovin' all your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin' don't let up until we're through until we're through
[ guitar ]
Gimme all your lovin'...
