ON THE REBOUND
(Charlie Craig - Larry Atwood)
« © '74 Gee Whiz Music, BMI »
I was going your way and it was plain to see you were going mine
We were both searching for a way to leave some old memories behind
Somebody broke my heart and I could tell somebody let you down
We were two lonely people two lonely people on the rebound
You cried on my shoulder for a while then we turned it around
I told you about her I told you about him then we found then we found
Just like the sun left yesterday and finally went down
The old love is gone and a new love was born on the rebound
We were brought together each looking for an understanding smile
Someone to just talk to and sit and reminisce for a while
We picked up the places like scattered yesterdays on the ground
Yes we found each other two lonely people on the rebound
You cried on my shoulder...
The old love is gone and a new love was born on the rebound

NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK ANYMORE
(Richard Mainegra - Milton Blackford)
« © '76 Unart Catalog, BMI »
Our bedroom still looks warm and cozy
Like the first time that we closed the door
I can still feel you tremble all over
As your nightgown fell down to the floor
I remember how you used to warm me
Just a touch of your hand made me sigh
I'd kiss you and you'd fall to pieces
I'd make it right but something wrong made you cry
But nothing seems to work anymore
The fire in our hearts doesn't burn like before
We turn out the lights and we still close that door
But nothing seems to work anymore
[ piano - fiddle ]
Sometimes when I lay beside you
I wonder just what's on your mind
Can't you see just how much I want you
Darlin' how can you be so blind
But nothing seems to work anymore...
Oh nothing seems to work anymore

LET YOUR LOVE FLOW
(Larry E. Williams)
« © '75 Figs D Music, BMI »
There's a reason for the sunshine in the sky
There's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the season when that love light shines all around us
So let that feeling grab you deep inside
And send you reeling where your love can't hide
And then go stealing through the moonlit night with your lover
Let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season it's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on the wing
Let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candle lights
Must be the season when those love rites shine all around us
So let the wonder take you into space
And lay you under its lovin' embrace
Just feel the thunder as it warms your face
You can't hold back
Let your love flow like a mountain stream...
That's the reason
Let your love flow like a mountain stream...

BABY RIDE EASY
(Richard Dobson)
« © '76 Unichappell Music, BMI »
If I drove a truck and I were waitress
And I asked for coffee and you poured you some
Then you'd stop by on your way sometime later
And when we arm-wrestled you'd say that I'd won
Ai-ee my baby ride easy ride high in the saddle all day
Your loving is good and your cooking ain't greasy
You chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away
If I were a winsome and pale senorita
And I a bull-fighter down in the sand
While the band kept on playing that Old Paso Doble
I'd throw you a flower would you take my hand
Ai-ee my baby ride easy...
If I ran the country you could be my first lady
I'd fix up the white house while you were away
Waiting while I'm passing time with world leaders
And later together alone we might say
Ai-ee my baby ride easy...
Ai-ee my baby ride easy...

WE'RE THE GREATEST LOVERS IN THE WORLD
(Jan Crutchfield - Larry Butler)
« © '76 Dixie Jane Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Curles and combs just drive me out of my mind
Oh you sure look bad when I leave you in the morning time
And I ask myself each morning when I see you in the light
Is it the girl that I was with last night
Picking up clothes that you piled up in the den
Guess you'll never learn which room your closet's in
And the stormball hit the bathroom and sure left there awful mess
I don't see how a man can do all best
But we're the greatest lovers in the world
Oh I'm a heavy man and I'm a lucky girl
Come up the end of the day Prince Charming's on his way
And I find my princess waiting at the door
We're the greatest lovers in the world
Oh I'm a heavy man and I'm a lucky girl
We prove it every night when we hold each other tight
That we're the greatest lovers in the world
O we just got to be the greatest
Oh there's no doubt that we're the greatest
Yes we're the greatest lovers in the world

TEARDROPS WILL KISS THE MORNING DEW
(Paul Craft)
« © '72 Rocky Top Music, BMI »
When time was young we walked the road together
When love was sweet I meant the world to you
Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew
Take me and make me your lover one more time
Close in your arms as before
Till over your shoulder the early morning shines
Then I'll leave you and I breathe you no more
When time was young we walked the road together...
Daisies need sunshine and roses need rain
So it was all meant to be
The wild bird needs wings free to take to the wind
And so it must be with you and me
When time was young we walked the road together...
When time was young we walked the road together...
And teardrops will kiss the morning dew

SUSPICIOUS MINDS
(Mark James)
« © '68 ATV Songs, BMI »
We're caught in a trap I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm saying
We can't go on together with suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams on suspicious minds
So if an old friend I know smile and say hello
But I still see suspicion in your eyes
Here you come again asking where I've been
Aou can't see these tears are real I'm crying
We can't go on together...
Won't you let our love survive or dry the tears from my eyes
Don't let a good thing die don't you know I never lied to you
We're caught in a trap I can't walk out...
We can't go on together...
We're caught in a trap I can't walk out...

WE'VE GOT SAME FEELINGS TO DO
(Milton Blackford - Joe Melson)
« © '76 Famous Music, ASCAP »
Last night our conversation led to what we're thinkin'
But we never let it go that far
But tonight let's admit it it's too late to forget it
We started the flame and we're both on fire
And darling the way day is through
I see the want-to all over you
We don't need the talk about it we've already told about it
But we've got some feelings to do
[ fiddle - steel ]
Now the candle's slowly dyin' and you're softly sighin'
I've never touched a woman like you
I feel your warmth beside me so let your sweet love guide me
Cause we've got some feelings to do
And darling the way day is through...
