BLINK OF AN EYE
(Rick Bowles - Josh Leo)
« © '97 Dead Solid Perfect Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
I felt my heart rate jump I felt adrenaline pump
The split second that I saw you walk in
A little voice inside said better hold on tight
Get ready set go you're gonna fall again
How fast is a speeding bullet how fast can Superman fly
How fast does a shooting star race across the sky
How fast can a dream come true all I know is one look at you
And I fell in the blink of an eye
I felt my temperature burn I felt the whole world turn
Like gravity was pulling your heart to mine
When you looked at me like that quiker than a finger snap
I saw you and me forever in record time
How fast is a speeding bullet...
How fast is a ricochetin' bullet how fast can Superman fly
How fast can a dream come true all I know is one look at you
And I fell in the blink of an eye
How fast can a dream come true in the blink of an eye
How fast can I fall for you in the blink of an eye

HE LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED
(Rick Bowles - Larry Boone)
« © '96 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
He left a letter for you by the door
Just saying goodbye I don't love you no more
He made you feel like you weren't worth anything
But if you were mine girl I'd have everything
Your touch your kiss your tenderness
Your blue eyes burning with fire
Your heart and soul and he let them go
He left a lot to be desired
What was he thinking was he out of his mind
How could he walk away how could he be so blind
No I'll never understand why he gave you up
He was one lucky man when he had your love
Your touch your kiss your tenderness...
[ guitar ]
Your touch your kiss your tenderness...
He left a lot to be desired

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO
(Rob Crosby - Billy Thomas)
« © '97 High Seas Music, BMI / Santee River Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I used to think I could stand on my own didn't need anyone else
I hid my feelings behind walls of stone just looking out for myself
I learned the hard way how this cruel world can cut a man down to size
I let my guard down and turned to you girl and now I realize
What a woman can do with her healing touch
Gives a man hope when he's given up
With you in my life I've got loving proof
There's just no end to what a woman can do
Girl I'm amazed how your love's lifted me when I was weak you were strong
When I was broken down on my knees you gave me the will to go on
I never knew how much I held in my heart until I gave it away
Letting go doesn't have to be hard and I'm learning more everyday
What a woman can do...
What a woman can do...
What a woman can do

CAN'T BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEART
(Chuck Jones - Porter Howell)
« © '97 Hard Tail Hits, BMI / Music Of Stage Three, BMI »
You're listening to the lies he's telling you
Buying every alibi he's selling you
Girl living in denial ain't helping you
He's all but gone what's the use in holding on
Girl it can't be good can't be good for your heart
He's keeping you in the dark
He's tearing your world apart
And it can't be good can't be good for your heart
I can't think about a thing but me and you
I get the feeling that you must feel it too
I can show you all about love being true
If you let me stay why you pushing me away
Girl it can't be good...
[ guitar ]
He's all but gone what's the use in holding on
Girl it can't be good...

GIRL FORMERLY KNOWN AS MINE
(Steve Bogard - Jeff Stevens - Greg Cook)
« © '97 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / WB Music, ASCAP »
She walks in every eye's on her
She passes by they're at a loss for words
There ain't one man in the room
Who wouldn't promise her the moon
For just one kiss they wanna know who she is
She's the girl formerly known as mine
Cause I didn't take the time and I didn't walk the line
I'm the guy watching my whole world
As it's turning away with the girl formerly known as mine
She acts like she don't have a care
New dress new color in her hair
Shining with a different light
Her life is nothing like the way we were
And it sure looks good on her
She's the girl formerly known as mine...
Oh it breaks my heart watching my whole world
As it's turning away with the girl formerly known as mine

DON'T FORGET TO FEED THE JUKEBOX (WHILE I'M GONE)
(Kerry K. Phillips - Robert L. Jenkins - Michael Higgins)

I've been dreadin' it all winter but the day is finally here
I never should have promised her we'd see Disneyland this year
I guess my responsibilities will all be put on hold
Lord I hope everything will be alright till I can get back home
I've talked to all the neighbors they said they'd watch my house
I stopped the mail and the paper and had the car checked out
I just dropped in to say goodbye leave my number on the wall
Now friends if anything goes wrong don't hesitate to call
Just keep the party rocking you all know what to do
Start at least one fight every night to keep things running smooth
Shoot some pool be sure and act a fool just make yourself at home
And don't forget to feed the jukebox while I'm gone
[ piano - steel ]
My boss said not to worry my job would still be here
I didn't have the heart to tell him that ain't my biggest fear
This place is like my second home I couldn't bear to see it change
So I can't go until I know all the details are arranged
Just keep the party rocking...
Yeah you can watch TV have a drink on me just make yourself at home
And don't forget to feed the jukebox while I'm gone

LAST LOVE IN THIS TOWN
(Steve Dean - Billy Montana - Don Ellis)

Suzie might keep the house depends on what the lawyers say
Jimmy's s'posed to get the kids weekends and holidays
It's enough to break my heart when I look around
Seems everybody is falling apart I swear we've got the last love in this town
Between the vows and forever there's a breakdown somewhere
So many people living in a sad state of affairs
It's enough to break my heart...
[ steel - guitar ]
Baby we made a promise to do whatever it takes
To hold on to each other and not end up that way
You know cause it's enough to break my heart when I look around
Let's stay right where we are I swear we've got the last love in this town
The last love in this town
It's enough to break my heart...

CONNECTED AT THE HEART
(Donny Kees - Skip Ewing)
« © '97 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Write On Music, BMI »
There is a picture in the pocket of my shirt
I always keep you next to me
When I'm away from you all I do is hurt
I think about you constantly
But you're always with me deep inside
I can feel you when I close my eyes
We are connected at the heart
Nothing on earth can keep the two of us apart
Time has no meaning distance has no power
It's never too late no matter how long
We're never that far we are connected at the heart
Every night I get down on my knees and pray
I know God's listening to me
Sometimes I have to work a little on my faith
But I don't have to see him to believe
Isn't that a little bit like you and me
We're not always eye to eye but I know we
Are connected at the heart...
Part of each other one and the same
Blood of my blood soul of my soul
We are connected at the heart...
Oh we are connected at the heart

YOU CAN'T GO BY THAT
(Kim Williams - Ron Harbin - Kim Tribble)
« © '94 Brian's Dream, ASCAP / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP / Willdawn Music, ASCAP »
She looks like she just might hold you tight all night
You can't go by that
She looks tough well good luck you can't pass that one up
You can't go by that
(You can't go by that) once she takes hold
(You can't go by that) you can't let her go
(You can't go by that)
Boy I swear I've been there if she acts like she cares
(You can't go by that)
Her blue eyes hipnotized oh but like they light
You can't go by that
She's so smooth she makes you think that you hang the moon
You can't go by that
(You can't go by that) once she takes hold...
Your heart is headed for a fall I can see it in your eyes
If you had any sense at all you'd just walk on by
(You can't go by that) once she takes hold...

YOU STILL GOT IT
(Rick Bowles - Larry Boone)
« © '96 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
You still got it and I still want it
I watch every head turn as you sashay by
They're wonderin' where have you been all their lives
You can almost hear 'em thinkin' whatcha doing with a guy like me
You got a wicked body and an angel's face
A heart of gold and a natural grace
You drive me crazy girl when you flaunt it
You still got it and I still want it
You still send a shiver racin' down my spine
You still make my heart beat overtime
it's love we're workin' on let's get to gettin' on it
You still got it and I still want it
[ fiddle - guitar ]
Every woman here probably hates you
And every man's wishin' he could trade places
Smetimes I feel so lucky I just gotta pinch myself
Remember how I felt the first night we met
Well the new ain't worn off of this feeling yet
Your kiss 'n huggin' can't help but love it
You still got it and I still want it
You still send a shiver...
[ fiddle - guitar ]
You still send a shiver...
When you do what you do can't help but love it
You still got it I still want it
