BE MY BABY TONIGHT
(Richard Fagan - Ed Hill)
« © '93 Of Music, ASCAP / Careers Music, BMI / Music Hill Music, BMI »
I know you've heard that worn out line about love at first sight
Well I never knew those words were true till you walked in tonight
All it took was just one look to knock me off of my feet
I'm not a man of many words so I'll make this short and sweet
Could you would you ain't you gonna if I ask you would you wanna be my baby tonight
Well I'll take a chance slow dance make a little romance honey it'll be alright
Girl you got me wishin' we were huggin' and a kissin'
And a holdin' each other tight
So could you would you ain't you gonna
If I asked you would you wanna be my baby tonight
I'm not tryin' to come on like some rhinestone Romeo
I'm looking for a whole lot more than a one night rodeo
What can I do to prove to you I'm laying it on the line
I'll even get down on my knees just to beg you one more time
Girl could you would you ain't you gonna...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Girl could you would you ain't you gonna...
Yeah could you would you ain't you gonna
If I asked you would you wanna be my baby tonight

FULL TIME LOVE
(Zack Turner - Carson Cumberland)
« © '93 Coburn Music, BMI / Just Cuts Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Pick you up on Friday about half past eight
Just time for a movie you can't stay out late
I take you home a little kiss at the door
Lately I'm thinking I want a little more
Tell your daddy I'm a hard working man
And after church on Sunday I'm gonna ask for your hand
If he don't like it well that's just tough
I've got to have your full time love
Your undivided loving is what I need
Twenty four hours a day seven days a week
This part time romance it just ain't enough
I've got to have your full time love
Sunday afternoon finally rolls around
I get in my old truck and I drive downtown
Your daddy's waitin' he says I got bad news
I've got to tell you son she's too good for you
What he don't know is when the sun goes down
We're gonna slip out that window and we'll leave this town
Drive to Memphis tie this thing up
I've got to have your full time love
Your undivided loving is what I need...
This part time romance Lord it just ain't enough
I've got to have your full time love

I SWEAR
(Frank J. Myers - Gary Baker)
« © '93 Lehsem Music, ASCAP / Morganactive Songs, ASCAP / Publishing Two's Music, ASCAP »
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes I'll never break your heart
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear like a shadow that's by your side I'll be there
For better or worse till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart I swear
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some mem'ries on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
Cause as the time turns the page my love won't age at all
I swear by the moon and the stars...
[ guitar ]
I swear by the moon and the stars...

SHE DON'T NEED A BAND TO DANCE
(Freddy Weller - Randy Archer)
« © '93 Careers Music, BMI / Kicklighter Publishing, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
She's not much for thrills and says things with fancy frills don't turn her on
She seems so content working hard to make our house a home
She's steady as a rock standing by me even when I don't succeed
Lord I wish I could afford the things she swears she don't really need
She don't need a band to dance it don't take wings for her fly
Our love's gonna grow if there ain't much do-si-do it's still gonna be alright
We make such pretty music that you can tell at just a glance
When I take the notion she seconds that emotion she don't need a band to dance
She didn't say a thing when we had to pawn the ring to pay the rent
What I make in overtime stacked against the bills don't make a dent
Just when I think I let her down and failed to be the man I oughta be
She still sees the bright side of everything includin' me
She don't need a band to dance...

ALL IN MY HEART
(Nike Geiger - Woody Mullis)
« © '93 Belle Glade Music, BMI / Egans Creek Music, BMI / Sixteen Stars Music, BMI »
I sit here tonight and look in your eyes for that old familiar flame
That love that burns makes my wolrd turn two hearts beating the same
Is it all in my mind or is it harder to find I feel like I'm in the dark
I thought it was real but I'm starting to feel like it must be all in my heart
I'm a fool for believing but I just keep dreaming
While we just keep drifting apart
Trying to make something where there's really nothing
I guess it's all in my heart
[ steel ]
I keep telling myself there's something else I could do to find that spark
But wherever it lies it's not in your eyes I guess it's all in my heart
I'm a fool for believing...

FRIDAY AT FIVE
(George Teren - Jimmy Stewart)
« © '93 Millhouse Music, BMI / Zomba Songs, BMI »
Got some cash in my pocket and it's burnin' a hole
Got the boss on my back and it's gettin' real old
This week's been hell but I'll party it out of my mind
From Friday at five till Sunday at closing time
Ain't a punchin' no clock ain't a makin' no plans
Need a girl on my arm and a beer in my hands
I'm tight as drum but I'm gonna cut loose and unwind
From Friday at five till Sunday at closing time
Got some pretty little women waitin' on me to shake up this sleepy old town
That's one job I take seriously I wouldn't dream of letting them down
Got a call from my ex and she's asking for more
I'm late with the rent and the wolf's at the door
But thats gonna be the furthest thing from my mind
From Friday at five till Sunday at closing time
[ guitar - piano ]
Got some pretty little women waitin' on me...
It might take me all week to get back on my feet
But I know I'll be alright
From Friday at five till Sunday at closing time
From Friday at five till Sunday at closing time yeah

ROPE THE MOON
(Jess Brown - Jim Denton - Aggie Brown)
« © '93 Almo Music, ASCAP / Pearl Dancer Music, ASCAP »
I don't have a lot to show for these years of hard work
If you look at what I own
Still she's always telling me to hold on to my dreams
Even when my hope is gone
Some may say that dreaming's just for fools
And there are times I thought that might be true
But she thinks I could rope the moon
In her eyes there is nothing I can do
When I think it's out of reach she's the reason I still try
She thinks I could rope the moon
When I look at the sky but can't see through the clouds
She shows me the brightest star
If I think of turning back cause I'm having my doubts
She tells me I've come so far
Nothing in this world comes easily
But I can't lose with her right next to me
Cause she thinks I could rope the moon..
Oh she thinks I could rope the moon

IF YOU'VE GOT LOVE
(Mark D. Sanders - Steve Seskin)
« © '93 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP / MCA Music, ASCAP »
If you've got faith and you believe in what you're living for
You can stand your ground when the devil's at your door
And a little hope can help you when the road is gettin' rough
But there's nothing quite like life if you've got love
If you've got love you can move a mountain a little bit further down the line
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time
You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art
What you can do if you've got love in your heart
Now there's nothing like a real good friend to tell your troubles to
But there's just so much a real good friend can do
Cause it takes a lover's touch to chase the darkest blues away
If you've got love you've got what it takes
If you've got love you can move a mountain...
[ guitar ]
If you've got love you can move a mountain...
It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart
If you've got love you can move a mountain...

OH HOW SHE SHINES
(Pat Bunch - Doug Johnson)
« © '93 Pat Bunch Publishing, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Darling I have a true confession
I ran into an old flame today
You wouldn't like the way our conversation
Turned to how we let each other slip away
I was reminded of a half forgotten feeling
One I shared with her so long ago
Since honesty is one thing we believe in
Let me tell you something you should know
Oh how she shines shines a light on you
In that light I see just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
There was a time when she was all that mattered
Long before I gave my heart to you
But standing there only inches from her
She touched my hand and suddenly I knew
If there was a time I ever doubted
What I'd do if she walked through my door
Could I turn around and leave without her
With all my heart now I can say for sure
Oh how she shiness shines a light on you...
Oh how she shines

KICK IT UP
(Andy Byrd - Jim Robinson)
« © '93 WB Music, ASCAP »
Well I work six days out of seven waitin' all week for Saturday night
Going out to neon heaven punch the clock on party time
Jamming this old pickup across the county line
Ain't it good to be alive
Kick it up tell the boys in the band
Play it hot 'cause I came in here to dance
Kick it up give that country girl a whirl
My boots are gonna lose the blues when they turn those guitars up
Kick it up
Got my paycheck in my pocket darling we'll spend every dime
And when this bar starts rockin' we'll show them all just how to unwind
Don't worry bout your troubles leave 'em at the door
And I'll meet you out on the floor
Kick it up tell the boys in the band...
Oh kick it up
[ guitar ]
When the bossman gets you down kick it up
If you're tired of the run around kick it up
Yeah we know Monday morning will be here before too long
So until the night is gone
Kick it up tell the boys in the band...
