ROUND ABOUT WAY

(Steve Dean - Billy Nance) « © '96 O Tex Music Music, BMI »
As far as all my friends can tell I took her leavin' well that's kinda right
Cause when I'm out with them I don't let her mem'ry rule the night
For the most part I'm okay but I still miss her in a round about way

Around about the time that midnight rolls around
That's around about the time my tears start falling down
Cause she's not around I come unwound and my heart breaks
Yeah I still miss her in a round about way

I no longer sit alone for hours by the phone wishing she would call
And just the other day I took her smiling face down off my wall
I've come a long long way but I still miss her in a round about way

Around about the time...
Yeah I still miss her in a round about way

CARRYING YOUR LOVE WITH ME

(Steve Bogard - Jeff Stevens) « © '97 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Baby all I got is this beat up leather bag
And everything I own don't fill up half
But don't you worry bout the way I pack
All I care about is gettin' back real soon
A goodbye kiss is all I need from you

Cause I'm carrying your love with me West Virginia down to Tennessee
I'll be movin' with the good Lord's speed carrying your love with me
It's my strength for holdin' on every minute that I have to be gone
I'll have everything I'll ever need I'm carrying your love with me

On a lonely highway stuck out in the rain
Darling all I have to do is speak your name
The clouds roll back and the waters part
The sun starts shinin' in my heart for you
You're right there in everything I do

Cause I'm carrying your love with me...
[ steel ] It's my strength for holdin' on...

I'm carrying your love with me I'm carrying your love with me
I'm carrying your love with me West Virginia down to Tennessee
I'll be movin' with the good Lord's speed carrying your love with me

ONE NIGHT AT A TIME

(Roger Cook - Eddie Kilgallon - Earl Bud Lee) « © '97 Blackwood Music, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
I'm not yours and baby you're not mine we've got something and it sure is fine
Let's take our love one night at a time
There's one thing that we both agree I like you and baby you like me
Let's take our love one night at a time

All night love all night practice makes perfect gonna get it right
Gonna get it right one night at a time

All night love all night...

Oh I think about you all day long it feels so good it can't be wrong
I've got my fingers crossed that this goes on and on

Tomorrow well that's another day come on baby now what do you say
Lets take our love one night at a time
All night love all night practice makes perfect gonna get it right
Gonna get it right one night at a time
[ steel - fiddle ] Oh I think about you all day long it feels so good it can't be wrong
I've got my fingers crossed that this goes on and on

All night love all night...
All night love all night...
All night love all night...

SHE'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A SMILE

(Jackson Leap) « © '97 Harlan Howard Songs, BMI »
I can see you're falling for her friend you know she once was mine
So I guess I ought to warn you cause you're showing all the signs

She's a devil she's an angel she's a woman she's a child
She's a heartache when she leaves you but she'll leave you with a smile

When she held me it was heaven it was worth the losing pain
And when she's gone she'll leave you wishing she'd just roll your way again

She's a devil she's an angel...
Yeah she's a devil she's an angel...

WON'T YOU COME HOME AND TALK TO A STRANGER

(Wayne Kemp) « © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Well I was out a drinking with a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone
Says there's my wife on the line
I told her I was just a drinking with the couple of buddies I knew
She told me in a few short words just what she wanted me to do

She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
You might even make yourself a friend
She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger
It's the only place in days you haven't been
[ piano ] Well I sat there about an hour talking with the rest of the guys
When she walked to that front door she had get-home in her eyes
She said you've danced and talked with every woman in town but me
And if you just come around the house you might like my company

She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger...
She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger...

TODAY MY WORLD SLIPPED AWAY

(Mark Wright - Vern Gosdin) « © '80 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI / Hookem Music, ASCAP »
We made it final today I gave you all I had you made your getaway
All the love we once made turned to mem'ries today
I left the courtroom and went straight to the church
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt
There's nothing left of my heart it's gonna be so hard to make a new start

Cause today my world slipped away we buried the plans that we'd made
And tonight I'm alone and afraid cause today my world slipped away

All my friends say I'll be all right I'll recover and start a new life
But that'll be so hard to do cause living ain't worth living without you

Cause today my world slipped away...
Cause today my world slipped away

I'VE GOT A FUNNY FEELING

(Harlan Howard - Jackson Leap) « © '97 Harlan Howard Songs, BMI »
Well my baby's wearin' a permanent smile
A satisfied look I ain't seen for awhile
I ain't had no raise or fulfilled any dreams
But something's come over my baby it seems

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my honey
Lord I love that child love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies the danger is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

If I came home early Lord what would I find
Maybe I'd rather just walk around blind
I know baby loves me Lord I understand
I know how emotions can get out of hand

I've got a funny feeling...
[ guitar - fiddle ] Wherever he is well I'm calling his bluff
I'm gonna start wearing that good smelling stuff
And I'll be the lover that I used to be
Whatever she's missing she'll get it from me

I've got a funny feeling...
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

NERVE

(Bobby Braddock) « © '97 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day
I could just as easily have let you get away
In that crowded airport far from my hometown
If I had lost my courage then you wouldn't be around

I'm glad I had the nerve and I'm glad he had the nerve
To get down on his knees and say I bought this ring for you
Won't you wear it please
My daddy sure touched something in my momma's heart somehow
If he hadn't I sure wouldn't be here with you now
I'm glad he had the nerve

Or I never would've lived like this or learned like this
Or laughed like this or loved like this
I'm glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea
My great grand daddy's great grandpa in 1833
He met an Indian maiden in the Smoky Mountain mist
If they hadn't crossed that line I would not exist
I'm glad they had the nerve

And I'm glad he had the nerve while staring into space
To give this universe a time and a place
With one tiny atom or an Adam and an Eve
However you look at it whatever you believe
I'm glad he had the nerve

Or we never would've live like this or learned like this
Or laughed like this or loved like this
Thank God he had the nerve and I'm glad I had the nerve
To talk to you that day

THAT'S ME (EVERY CHANCE I GET)

(Mark D. Sanders - Ed Hill) « © '97 MCA Music, ASCAP / Careers Music, BMI »
Picture a fellow with his boots shined up a new coat of clean on his pick up truck
Ringin' your doorbell thinkin' bout love hey honey that's me

That's me with a capital M that's me ten times ten
Ain't worked up my courage yet but that's me every chance I get

Picture a fellow at a picture show his arm around you in the very last row
Stealin' a kiss as the credits roll yeah honey that's me

That's me with a capital M...
[ steel ] Never dealt with such a big deal how to tell ya how I feel
I'll be your fella in nothing flat honey just picture that

That's me with a capital M...
That's me with a capital M...
That's me every chance I get honey that's me every chance I get

REAL GOOD PLACE TO START

(Dean Dillon - Gary Nicholson) « © '96 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI / Gary Nicholson Music, ASCAP »
Still reeling from a relationship that left me torn in two
Trying to find that first step that leads to someone new
Gettin' me back together didn't know it could be so hard
But if I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
You look like a real good place to start

I need a new beginning and girl you fit right in
Sometimes a new beginning is found in an old friend
If I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
You look like a real good place to start

There've been times when you and him just couldn't get along
I'd hear your knock and let you in be your shoulder to cry on
And now he's finally left you and I've find you in my arms
If I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
You look like a real good place to start

I need a new beginning...

If I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
You look like a real good place to start
