SHE'S ALL THAT
(Scott Wray - Collin Raye)
« © '00 Britsar Music, BMI / Blackwood Music, BMI »
She was singing Love Me Tender at the local Karaoke
I knew right then and there I had found my one and only
She takes my breath away everytime I see her
Just couldn't wait for all my boys to meet her
She's got season tickets and sweet pouty lips
She's all that well equipped
(She's all that) she loves to ride in my pickup truck
(She's all that) mom and daddy can't believe my luck
(She's all that) she looks so good we never wait in line
She's all that she's all mine
She can throw a split finger and she's got her own glove
When she sinks a twenty footer man I know I'm in love
Saturday night she's like a time bomb tickin'
She looks better on Sunday than mama's fried chicken
She only gets mad when she misses Sports Center
She's all that even tempered
(She's all that) she's all that she swings a nine handicap
(She's all that) she looks sexy in a baseball cap
(She's all that) she makes me want to lay it all on the line
She's all that she's all mine
Whoa she's a perfect combination Whoa got my defense off the field
Whoa every day's an education Got my head a spinnin' like a spoke inside a wheel
[ fiddle ]
(She's all that) she's all that I'm in touch with her feminine side
(She's all that) let me tell you man it's one sweet ride
(She's all that) a humdinger boy straight off the blocks
She's all that no doubt about it the girl rocks
She's all that...

I WANT TO BE THERE
(Stephony Smith - Tommy L. James - Robert Hart)
« © '00 Blackwood Music, BMI / Singles Only Music, BMI / Still Working For The Man Music, BMI »
I love you and your tango dress and going where the music says
I pray this love song never ends
Cause when we spin like this I know where heaven is
Right here in the moment that we're in
Love happens when we get this close whatever you do don't let go
I want to be there when you dance when you laugh when you cry
For the rest of our lives
I want to be there In your arms in your world In your heart
Whatever you are I want to be there
Every night like New Year's Eve every day that you're here with me
Every touch is cause for celebration
I want to be your birthday kiss I want to be your every wish
I want to be your strongest temptation
Through all the years that go by you'll find me right here by your side
I want to be there when you dance...
I want to be there when you dance...

COMPLETELY
(Marc Beeson - Jeff Wood)
« © '98 Blackwood Music, BMI / Tower Street Music, BMI /
April Music, ASCAP / K Town Music, ASCAP »
Before you I was totally lost and so hopelessly sure I'd end up by myself
I was so unaware there was someone out there for me who'd love me like nobody else
You gave me something that I always wanted now I'm giving it all back to you
Darling completely with all of my soul I was so empty till you made me whole
Girl you complete me more every day I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start girl I'll give you my heart darling completely
I did time as a single man year after year
And then right when I almost gave up
Way up high on a ledge leaning over the edge
I was mercifully saved by your love
It might take a lifetime but I know that I'll find
The right words to tell you I'm yours
Darling completely...
Right from the start girl I'll give you my heart darling completely
Oh girl cpmpletely

COULDN'T LAST A MOMENT
(Danny Wells - Jeffrey Steele)
« © '00 Irving Music, BMI / My Life's Work Music, BMI /
Songs Of Windswept Pacific, BMI / Yellow Desert Music, BMI »
I thought it was over I thougt I could move on but I was wrong
I woke up last night calling your name feeling the blame baby
Thought I could quit you but I still miss your love
What was I thinking thinking I could still walk down the street
Without you by my side or make it through one night alone I lied
I said a lot of things I didn't really mean
How can I make you see what matters most to me
Girl I should've known it I couldn't last a moment without you
You've got every right to turn and walk away
I can't make you stay I broke your heart that's the bottom line
I wasted so much precious time baby
I see you with your friends wearing a smile again what was I thinking
Without you by my side...
I thought I could quit you but I still miss your love what was I thinking
Without you by my side...
Oh girl I should've known it I couldn't last a moment without you uh huh

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE
(Bob Regan - Chris Lindsey)
« © '99 BMG Songs, ASCAP / Yessiree Bob Music, ASCAP / Songs Of The Knoll, BMI »
I love the way you move like moonlight on the sea
The way your body calls me like a secret melody
The way you start a fire when you look into my eyes
The way you always love me until I'm satisfied
There are moments when I love you beyond the limits of my human heart
I want to hold you take care of you the way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth across the deep blue sky
Through the universe beyond the reach of time you will always be mine
I don't know how you know exactly what I need
I don't know how you found the man I wanna be
I don't know how your sweet tears make me see clear again
I don't know how you know I don't know how you go everywhere I've been
But there are moments when I love you...
[ guitar + steel ]
The way you start a fire when you look into my eyes
Past the pull of Earth across the deep blue sky through the universe
Beyond the reach of time you will always be mine
Beyond the reach of time you will always be mine
You will always be mine you will always be mine

LONG WAY TO GO
(Richard Fagan - Gordon Kennedy)
« © '80 Of Music, ASCAP »
When you told me that we were through
I thought it would be easy gettin' over you
But I know it's gonna take some time
When I come home now what do I see
So many mem'ries starin' at me
I know you left but you left so much behind
You got a long way to go before you're gone
You left me but your memory just won't leave me alone
It's plain to see your hold on me just keeps on going strong
You got a long way to go before you're gone
I can't take this anymore I'm half of what I was before
Ever since I lost my better half
When I close my eyes you're all I see you're even walkin' in my sleep
I wanna cry but then I gotta laugh
Cause you got a long way to go before you're gone
You left me but your memory just won't leave me alone
It still ain't clear that you ain't here to hear me babble on
Cause you got a long way to go before you're gone
[ guitar ]
That's right you've got a long way baby
You've got a long way to go you ain't gone
[ guitar ]
If you'd come back we can start anew cause I'm so miserable without you
It's kinda like you never left at all
You got a long way to go before you're gone
You left me but your memory just won't leave me alone
You got a long way to go...

HARDER CARDS
(Craig Wiseman - Michael Henderson)
« © '00 Almo Music, ASCAP / BMG Songs, ASCAP /
Chicken Shack Songs, BMI / Irving Music, BMI »
Well the hammer fell down on a 44 primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight wrong or right
She just looked at me as she finished her tale
And her blank expression went another shade paler grey there was nothing to say
In the shadows of her face I saw the scars
That you get where you live where love is hard
And she said don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my barefeet
Cause there are people that you pass by everyday
With harder cards than yours in life to play
Well I put the ciffs on her and I put her in the car
I walked inside and he was on the floor stone dead shot in the head
There was whiskey bottles and dope by his chair
And a starving baby with nothing to wear but tears you know the picture was clear
He had finally pushed her farther than the line
And the badge I wore had lost all of its shine
And she said don't you sit and judge me...
Well I stood there thinking how justice was blind
But I didn't see any and I could see just fine and I made up my mind
So I took the cuffs off her and I took her back in
Wiped off the gun and I wrapped it in his right hand where it should have been
And in the morning paper told in black and white
Just another senseless case of suicide oh just a suicide
Oh but don't you sit and judge me...
Yeah a hammer fell down a 44 primer
Now there's one less problem in South Carolina tonight

LANDING IN LOVE
(Chuck Jones - Chuck Cannon)
« © '00 Hardtail Hits, BMI / Music Of Stage Three, BMI / Wacissa River Music, BMI »
Can you feel that rush makes the whole world hush
Makes your flesh go flush you break a sweat
Is your soul on fire with your heart's desire
Out there on the wire without a net
Does it take your breath are you scared to death
With one kiss we'll be risking it all
If we dance this dance if we take this chance
We'll be landing in love when we fall
It's an act of God it's against all odds
And we hold lightening rods up in the sky
It's that leap of faith we all have to take
But hearts don't have to break when they can fly
Does it take your breath...
If we dance this dance if we take this chance
We'll be landing in love one more kiss one more touch
We'll be landing in love when we fall

LOVING THIS WAY
(Gene Lesage - Allison Mellon)
« © '00 Britsar Music, BMI / Blackwood Music, BMI /
Bases Loaded Music, ASCAP / BMG Songs, ASCAP »
[ with Bobbie Eakes ]
I'm tired of watching me hurt you
I'm tired of being the teardrops on your face
I'm tired of loving this way I'm tired of loving this way
I know your every weakness I can find one in everything you say
I'm tired of loving this way I'm tired of loving this way
I'm not what you really need I'm not the one in your dreams
I can see it in your eyes
This ain't the way you should feel I don't know how we got here
Love's no longer blind
If that's just how it is can we go on like this oh baby what do you say
I'm tired of loving this way I'm tired of loving this way
I'll set your heart free if you're mine you'll come flying back someday
But I'm tired of loving this way I'm tired of loving this way
Well I'm taking you with me cause like a room in my heart you'll have your place
But I'm tired of loving this way I'm tired of loving this way
I'm not what you really need...
I'm tired of loving this way I'm tired of loving this way

YOU STILL TAKE ME THERE
(Brett James - Del Gray - Thom McHugh)
« © '99 Songs Of Teracel, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI /
You Scream Music, BMI / Volunteer Jam Music, ASCAP »
In case I haven't told you lately just in case it doesn't show
I'm still enchanted by you baby and I just wanted you to know
You were the first one you'll be the last one you are the only one I swear
You took me to heaven our first night together and you still take me there
Oh how just to have you in my arms tonight oh how could I ask for more
You give me hope and strength you give me life your love is all I'm living for
You were the first one...
You take me higher than I ever dreamed I'd go
With you I leave the worries of this troubled world below
[ guitar ]
You took me to heaven our first night together and you still take me there
Oh you took me to heaven our first night together and you still take me
Darling you still take me baby you still take me there

WATER AND BRIDGES
(Craig Wiseman - Tim Nichols)
« © '99 Blackwood Music, BMI / Ty Land Music, BMI »
I was young so was she Love didn't stay a mystery for very long
We could do no wrong
Then she called to say she was late so we took a little drive up state
And took care of that yeah we took care of that
But now I'm looking back at some of my decisions
Now that it's much too late to change
How a father could have held his son if I could undo what's been done
I guess everyone is living with water and bridges
My old man he had it rough cause like his daddy when he drank too much
He'd get mean and take it out on me
So with angry words I was gone I never even tried to come back home
The night he died mama said he apologized
Now I'm looking back on some of my decisions...
[ fiddle - keyboards ]
We can all go crazy from things that only time can numb
I guess that's why everyone has given
Water and bridges water and bridges

SHE'S GONNA FLY
(Jason Blume - Karen Taylor Good)
« © '00 Zomba Songs, BMI »
This is the woman who had all the answers
The one I would lean on for comfort for strength
She's never forgotten one grandchild's birthday
Now she can't remember my name
And it makes me so angry I shake my fist
And cry out to the heavenly one
Why would you play such a cold-hearted trick
I thought your job was to love
And the answer came down form above
She's gonna fly when her time here is through
First she'll have to let go of some things she can't use
Cause people and places mem'ries and faces are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings
This is the woman who saw things so clearly
The one who could pick out one crumb on the floor
She saw through a white lie saw me through love's eyes
She hardly can see anymore
And it makes me so sad and it just isn't fair why should so much be taken away
But when I cry out for all that she's lost I silently hear someone say
She's gonna fly...
And oh the wonders she'll see and I know she'll remember to watch over me
She's gonna fly...
Oh to carry on angel's wings
