WHAT KIND OF FOOL DO YOU THINK I AM

(Al Carmichael - Gary Griffin) « © '91 Universal Sheddhouse Music, ASCAP »
Here you come knocking on my door when you said you don't need me anymore
Do you really think I'm crazy enough to go throwing my good heart after bad love

What kind of fool do you think I am I ain't falling for you over again
I ain't playing a game that I know I can't win what kind of fool do you think I am
[ guitar ] I was lost in your love and I got burned you hurt me one time I finally learned
Now that I know what your loving can do who do you think you're talking to

What kind of fool do you think I am...
[ guitar ] Falling in love with you just brought me sorrow
You'll leave me smiling tonight but crying tomorrow

Don't you come knocking on my door cause you know I don't need you anymore
Now do you really think I'm crazy enough to go throwing my good heart after bad love

What kind of fool do you think I am...
What kind of fool do you think I am...

BACK IN MY ARMS AGAIN

(Rory Bourke - Cris Moore - Lee Roy Parnell) « © '91 Mama Guitar Music, ASCAP / Songs De Burgo, ASCAP /
R Bar P Music, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
People always say the hindsight's 20-20
When it comes to mistakes in love girl I got plenty
But the one that sticks at the most of my mind
Is the night I left you standing on front porch cryin'
Living for the day I can make it all up to you

Till you're back in my arms back in my arms again
Till you're back in my arms I will be whole lonesome till then
Honey I wont eat I won't even sleep
I'll be walking these souls of both of my feet
Till you're back in my arms back in my arms again

Well I'm gettin' to know this old town like never before
Walking every street knocking on every door
Girl where ever you are I want you back
I love you baby I'm sure about that
Whatever it takes theres nothing that I wont do

Till you're back in my arms back in my arms again...
[ guitar ] I must have been a fool I confess
To ever let you go but I ain't gonna rest

Till you're back in my arms back in my arms again...
Honey I wont eat I won't even sleep...

ROCK

(Russell Smith - Jim Varsos) « © '91 Universal MCA Music, ASCAP / Universal Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
When you wake up in the morning and you wonder
Why no one's beside you where I usually lay
And you think you hear the sound like distance thunder
That's just your old rock rolling away

I was your rock standing strong for you
There was nothing I wouldn't do
No matter the cost I was ready to pay
Now you say I'm only holding you down
Llike some old rock you've been dragging around
Yes I'm your rock but I'm rolling away

I'm rolling away on a downhill grade
I'm gonna come to rest side a mountain of love some day
Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting sands
Even a rock goes rolling away

I was your rock standing strong for you...
Yes I'm your rock but I'm rolling away

AIN'T NO SHORT WAY HOME

(Bob DiPiero - Jim Photoglo) « © '91 Tree Publishing, BMI / Afterberger Music, ASCAP /
Universal Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Monday morning six a.m. gonna be a hot one again
Put some coffee in my cup get in my Chevy and saddle up

And I roll roll got another thousand miles to go
And I roll roll driving down this old four-lane road
I can taste your kisses see your face
And the faster I go the longer it takes
And this lonely heart is a heavy load
And it's slowing me down and there ain't no short way home

Make a stop for gasoline ain't got time to wash the window clean
Burning highway burning tires burning oil and burning desire

And I roll roll...
[ guitar ] And I roll roll...

LOVE WITHOUT MERCY

(Don Pfrimmer - Mike Reid) « © '87 BMG Songs, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Woke up this morning and I knew I'd be late
Somehow it came as no surprise
I saw the way she was looking at me
I saw no mercy in her eyes

She gives me love without mercy her arms don't wanna let go
Love without mercy am I complaining mercy no
[ guitar ] I have no trouble sleeping at night
When I got a problem on my mind
But she give me something precious and sweet
And it solves that problem every time

She gives me love without mercy...

When I feel like this world wants no part of me
She knows I need love not sympathy

She gives me love without mercy...
I said am I complaining mercy no

ROAD SCHOLAR

(Rory Bourke - Cris Moore - Lee Roy Parnell) « © '90 Barney And Arney Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI /
R Bar P Music, ASCAP / Songs De Burgo, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
[ with Delbert McClinton ]
I grow up in Texas on the great high plains
A Silvertone guitar was all I had to my name
At seventeen I left and I never looked back
Yeah just me and my guitar and my Pontiac

Well I never went to college but I got a degree
From a honky tonk university
Hey I'm a road scholar I gotta make my music
I was born to sing and play
Yeah I'm a road scholar how I love to hear the wheels whine
Rolling down that old highway
Well the roadhouse was my schoolhouse
That's where I paid my dues
I got a Master's in rhythm and a Minor in soul
And a PhD in the blues

My teachers were the killer and the hound dog man
My classmates consisted of a five-piece band
Yeah my dormitory was a string of cheap hotels
But I survived it all and I'm alive and well

Although I never went to college...
[ guitar ] Hey I'm a road scholar I gotta make my music...

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

(Cris Moore - Lee Roy Parnell) « © '91 Mama Guitar Music, ASCAP / R Bar P Music, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Day after day I do alright I hardly think about you
Finding a way each waking hour to live my life without you
But when I lay down and I close my eyes and I try to sleep
Thought you're not around it's like you're here with me

Night after night you stay on my mind
Night after night I dream I hold you tight night after night

Time after time I meet someone hoping it will last forever
But soon I find it's not the same as when we were together
I struggle alone to convince myself that I'll be alright
Somewhere before dawn I always lose the fight

Night after night...

Your empty pillow I reach for in the dark
Is like the empty place you left here in my heart
[ guitar ] Night after night...
Night after night...

DONE DEAL

(Cris Moore - Lee Roy Parnell) « © '91 Mama Guitar Music, ASCAP / R Bar P Music, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I wasn't looking for anyone when you caught my eye
I was content just to be alone then you took me by surprise
I told myself better take your time
But there's no holding back this love of mine

It's a done deal it's too late to change the way that I feel
My heart is falling head over heels oh baby it's a done deal


I've been down this old road before and got left on a dead end street
I've been around enough to know it's best to look before you leap
I know that would be the thing to do
But my mind's made up and it's set on you

It's a done deal...

When love grabs you and won't let go there's nothing you can do about it
Your love's got a hold on me and I just can't live without it
[ steel ] Oh it's a done deal...
Yeah it's a done deal...

TENDER MOMENT

(Rory Bourke - Cris Moore - Lee Roy Parnell) « © '91 Mama Guitar Music, ASCAP / R Bar P Music, ASCAP /
New Songs De Burgo, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
You walked in and found her with tears in her eyes
She couldn't tell you exactly why
There ain't nothing wrong but there ain't nothing right
Try to figure it out boy you're wastin' your time

All it takes is a tender moment
A loving word or the touch of your hand
What she needs is a tender moment
Let her know you'll always be her man
That's the kind of thing a woman understands
[ guitar ] It's a fast lane world that we're livin' in
Sometimes love takes a little tailspin
But it don't take much to straighten it out
A little affection's all I'm talkin' about

All it takes is a tender moment...
[ guitar ] Every day she needs to hear you love her so
So take the time to let her know

It ain't a brand new house it ain't a diamond ring
Big bank accounts don't mean a thing
She's still gonna need what money can't buy
Someone to hold her when she needs to cry

All it takes is a tender moment...
All it takes is a tender moment...

ROLLER COASTER

(Rory Bourke - Gary Nicholson - Lee Roy Parnell) « © '90 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP / R Bar P Music, ASCAP /
New Songs De Burgo, ASCAP / Universal PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Well I thought I was in for an easy ride
You and me baby side by side
But this thing's scarin' me to death
My heart's poundin' can't catch my breath

Well it's up and it's down yeah whipping my heart around
There ain't no holding back yeah I hope it don't jump the track
On this roller coaster whoa you better hold on tight
Roller coaster crazy but it sure feels right
This thing's moving way too fast how long can we last
On this roller coaster of love

Well you know I'm the kind that likes a thrill
Double dare me baby you know I will
But this ride's gettin' way too rough
We belong in the tunnel of love

Well it's up and it's down...

Then two turns back we were slowin' down
Almost had my feel on the ground
Just when I thought that I could turn you loose
Your sweet kiss threw me for a loop

Well it's up and it's down...
