YOU'RE SO COOL
(Matraca Berg - Carolyn D. Johnson)

Tried to write you a love song in the middle of the night
Everything rhymed but it didn't feel quite right
Anyway that's all we need is another modern day Shakespere
All I know is I get chills whever you're standing there
You're so cool cool as ice cream in the summertime
Cool as James Dean with a twist of lime you're so fine
And I dig you hard lovesick dreamin' in the backyard
They wouldn't print it in a Hallmark card
It's so high school yeah you're so cool
I don't know what's happening but it's a silly thing
I wanna wear your sweater I wanna wear your ring
Ain't it funny what love can make a grown woman do
I've been telling my friend I gotta big crush on you
You're so cool cool as Dylan back in '69
Cool as James Dean with a twist of lime you're so fine
And I dig you hard lovesick dreamin' in the backyard
They wouldn't print it in a Hallmark card
It's so high school yeah you're so cool
It sounds so ordinary yeah in my vocabulary
So I might as well say you roar yeah baby you're so cool
Cool as Dylan back in '69
Ragtop mustang in the summertime you're so fine
And I dig you hard lovesick dreamin' in the backyard
They wouldn't print it in a Hallmark card
It's so high school yeah you're so cool
Oh how does it feel to be so cool
Yeah yeah ragtop Mustang in the summertime
Yeah you're so fine you roar you're so cool

LAST THING ON MY MIND
(Craig Wiseman - Al Anderson)
« © '00 Mighty Nice Music, BMI / Al Andersongs, BMI »
I don't love him anymore just ask all my friends
I've told them and I tell them time and time again
I don't have no regrets no I'm not that kind
Honestly he's the last thing on my mind
When the day turns into dusk the shadows start to fall
And this empty bed's as big as Arkansas
And when I'm drifting off to sleep something in my broken heart rewinds
He's the last thing he's the last thing on my mind
Now rushing through the day I might seem improved
There isn't time to second guess my foolish moves
No I can only see once the lights go out
What it is that I can live with and without
When the day turns into dusk...
[ steel - fiddle ]
When the day turns into dusk...
He's the last thing he's the last thing on my mind yeah

MY HEART WILL NEVER BREAK THIS WAY AGAIN
(Matraca Berg - Gary Harrison)
« © '00 Longitude Music, BMI / Hillbillith Music, BMI /

In every life there comes a love like this too blind with trust to know the Judas kiss
And as sure as your love changes in the wind my heart will never break this way again
Many times I'll walk alone here on the street but my tears will never taste so bittersweet
Knowing that someday this pain will end and my heart will never break this way again
Oh we hold on we hold on to moments just like these
The painful memories will make you strong
And it's too bad so sad when your innocence is gone
It's wasted on the ones that do you wrong
And I know that I will love again someday but never quite enough that's how I'll pay
Loving you too much that was my sin and my heart will never break this way again
Oh we hold on...
[ fiddle - steel ]
Oh we hold on...
In every life there comes a love like this too blind with trust to know the Judas kiss
And as sure as your love changes in the wind my heart will never break this way again
No my heart will never break this way again

YOU DON'T GET NO MORE
(Emory Gordy - Patty Loveless)
« © '00 Clay Root Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI / Jahazah Music, BMI »
Well I gave you my heart and what did you do
You dragged it around and you broke it in two
You don't get no more you don't get no more
When you use up my heart you don't get no more no more
Well it's a honey but this and honey but that
When you run out of buts that's the end of that
You don't get no more you don't get no more
When you run out of buts you don't get no more no more
[ guitar ]
You only got one soul and that's a fact
You sell it to the devil and you don't get it back
You don't get no more you don't get no more
When you sell your soul you don't get no more no more
Either get off or get on down the line
Your callin' card is runnin' out of time
[ guitar ]
Well when your friends are all gone and the money runs low
And your only true love is a high-dollar hoe
You don't get no more you don't get no more
When your gold is gone you don't get no more no more no more
When I stop singing it's the end of the song
When you stop listnin' it's time to move on
You don't get no more you don't get no more
When you lost your friends and you run out of rope
When you sold your soul and you're all out of hope
When you break the only heart that I've got you
Don't get no more no more uh uh

I tell you what we're in a rut we're in a deep rut
So habitual predictable I tell you what we oughta do
We oughta drive away fly away find a way to get away
We need a break from the same ol' same ol' nothin' new
Wanna go out on a limb on a whim yeah that's the kind of mood I'm in
Let's go somewhere nowhere we've heard of hang the sign out do not disturb us
Get a wakeup call about three p.m. that's the kind of mood I'm in
A little shakeup take the chain and rattle it try to catch the wind and saddle it
Fall in love all over again yeah that's the kind of mood I'm in
I tell you this I want a kiss I want a long kiss
The kinda deep down move the ground thing you used to do to me
I wanna dance a little dream a little baby just live a little
Make my heart rate elevate bring it up a few degrees
Get me gone with the wind now and then yeah that's the kind of mood I'm in
Let's go somewhere nowhere...
[ fiddle ]
Any hemisphere change of atmosphere get me outta here right now
Let's go somewhere nowhere...
Oh that's the kind of mood I'm in

THIRSTY
(Stewart Harris - Thom Hardwell)
« © '00 Sony-ATV Songs, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / Peer Music, BMI »
How did I ever get so lucky to be lying in your arms
I wouldn't trade my life for someone's millions
I'm just thirsty and you are water
Some want wisdom some need fame some may want a mansion far away
All I need is your tender loving I'm just thirsty and you are water
The way I feel when I hear your call it's just like heaven when a gentle rain falls
I know the good Lord must have smiled on the day he made you
I'm just grateful that he heard me praying
He said you're just thirsty and he gave me water
I'm just thirsty and you are water

STRONG HEART
(Emory Gordy - Kris Tyler)
« © '00 Clay Root Music, BMI / Atlantic Music, BMI / Paint And Primer Music, BMI »
Everybody's had the blues days when it comes undone
This really shouldn't bother me I know I'm not the only one
To break down and cry I don't know why it has to be so hard
I could've left this road I'm on turned around a thousand times
Surrendered to the great unknown give up and leave it all behind
But this is my dream my life and everything I've prayed for
It takes a strong heart to see love through
It takes a lot of faith more than I ever knew
To cry and never let it show to hold on tight and not let go
It takes a strong heart a strong heart and you
I keep it hidden deep inside it's just a phase I'm going through
I show the world a pretty face but I'm not really foolin' you
Cause you know how I feel you know how to heal this wounded pride
It takes a strong heart...
I don't know what I'd do without you I couldn't do this alone
You give me faith and hope and the courage to carry on and on and on
It takes a strong heart...
Strong heart and you on and on strong heart and you

KEY OF LOVE
(Emory Gordy - Al Anderson)
« © '00 Paulding County Publishing, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI /
Mighty Nice Music, BMI / Al Andersongs, BMI »
This ain't uptempo this ain't no positive
This ain't no music meant for jumping up and down
This is a sad song more than three minutes long
It took a lifetime just to come this far
This thing is serious we're in a big mess
We're at the junction of forever and goodbye
If this is where we're going well hello honey here we are
Are you gonna leave or do I have to say
All wound up tight with this tension and anexiety
Can't take one minute more what am I in this for
It's like I love you and hate you at the same time
I think this jig is up I think I've had enough
I think I'm running out of reasons not to let you go
I've faced the music it's over for the rythum and the rhyme
Baby this is a hook and last line and sinker
A moldy oldie on the radio you remember but it's over and done
It's the end of the dance let's take it out with a new song
A little thing called the blues in the key of love
No place left to go when the good is gone
One line away from a brand new song oh
[ guitar ]
Baby this is a hook...

SHE NEVER STOPPED LOVING HIM
(Wally Wilson - Danny Orton)
« © '00 Songs Of The Knoll, BMI / Uno Mas Music, BMI / MCA Music, ASCAP »
She used to sit and stare and dream that he was there but she quit that
She made up her mind that someday she'd be fine and she meant that
And she stopped drivin' by their old place
Now it's not that she don't know the way
She just stopped cause she had all she could take
But she never stopped loving him
There's a place deep in her soul a place she'll always hold only for him
Still she gets down on her knees prays that she won't be lonely for him
And she stopped takin' up every night now it's not honeymoon by her side
And she stopped no matter how hard she tried she never stopped loving him
All the time they were together
He was all she ever needed in this world but still somehow
There were things she dind't tell him she's gonna tell him now
[ strings ]
The leaves are off the trees and the snow is awfuly deep for December
She walks right up to him she can't quite find the words but they're in there
So she stops and says since you've been gone I have thought how life must go on
Then she topped and placed a rose on his stone then left him alone
But she never stopped loving him

PIECES ON THE GROUND
(John Bunzow)
« © '00 Ensign Music, BMI / Songs Of Note, BMI »
Mend this broken body in pieces on the ground
My spirit's cracked and crumbled my world's been crashing down
The weight upon my shoulders got so heavy they just gave in
Till I could not lift my head up to face another day again
Let a ray of hope come shining so I may look up at the sky
And see a glimpse of tomorrow there I'm standing in the light
Let me climb upon a hilltop healing hands can touch me now
They will mend this broken body in pieces on the ground
[ guitar - dobro ]
Human heart's a fragile thing it shatters just like glass
Gather up all these splinters crush them into grains of sand
So the wind may scatter them towards the angels looking down
They will mend this broken body in pieces on the ground
Then a ray of hope came shining when I looked into your eyes
I saw all of my tomrrows and we're standing in the light
We are high upon a hilltop healing hands touching me now
Mending this broken body in pieces on the ground
