YOU CAN'T MAKE A HEART LOVE SOMEBODY

(Johnny McRae - Steve Clark) « © '94 BMG Songs, ASCAP »
At a table for two with candle light and wine
That diamond burning holes in his pocket thinkin' now's the perfect time
When he popped the question he could see the teardrops fill her eyes
She said I knew this was coming and I'm sorry but I hope you'll realize

You can't make a heart love somebody
You can tell it what to do but it won't listen and all
You can't make a heart love somebody
You can lead a heart to love but you can't make it fall

Then she reached for his hand and said I want you to know
I've done everything that I know of to make the feeling grow
I've begged and I've pleaded with my heart but there's no gettin' through
My heart's the only part of me that's not in love with you

You can't make a heart love somebody...
You can't make a heart love somebody...
You can lead a heart to love but you can't make it fall

ADALIDA

(Mike Geiger - Michael Huffman - Woody Mullis) « © '94 Belle Glade Music, BMI / Dixie Stars Music, ASCAP »
Adalida pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower the belle of the bayou you're every young man's dream
Adalida I'd walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you sweet Adalida I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Oh no here you're comin' down the road
With your cotton dress a swishin' you gettin' some attention
From all the boys in the Thibodaux
Oh my you're really fillin' up their eyes
Smilin' and a winkin' I know what they thinkin'
But I'm the only one who loves you so

Adalida pretty little Cajun queen...
[ fiddle - steel ] Oh no the hottest little dish I know
I know you can tell it you makin' me so jealous from my head down to my toes
Oh me you could make a redneck green
The way that you're a looking you got me cooking
And I ain't talking bout Etoufee

Adalida pretty little Cajun queen...
Adalida pretty little Cajun queen...

To stand beside you sweet Adalida to stand beside you sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside you sweet Adalida I'd swim the Pontchartrain

I MET A FRIEND OF YOURS TODAY

(Bob McDill - Wayland Holyfield) « © '76 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP »
Yes I know I'm late gettin' home tonight
But can supper wait I guess I've lost mt appetite
You can fix me a drink and anything's okay
Oh by the way I met a friend of yours today

I was working on the other side of town
And coming home I thought I'd stop and have a round
And in this bar I heard someone speak your name
And that's how I met a friend of yours today

I listened for a while and I could tell
That that stranger there he knew you much too well
And I introduced myself and there you should have seen his face
Oh what a shame I met a friend of yours today

Please don't cry woman cause it's much too late for tears
Yeah and I'm sorry toocause it hurts after all these years
And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way
And all because I met a friend of yours today

Ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way
And all because I met a friend of yours today

NOBODY HAS TO GET HURT

(Jim Lauderdale - Terry McBride) « © '94 Mighty Nice Music, BMI »
As the sun sets and you let go and my dreams go that way too
And I watch the silhouettes flow out of clear view

We can do this thing right fix what went wrong
Really make this work
Turn around real slow walk straight back to me
Nobody has to get hurt
[ steel ] We can learn from my mistakes now I don't ask you to forget
But forgive my good intentions and where they went

We can do this thing right...
We can do this thing right...

DOWN LOUISIANA WAY

(Aaron Baker - Donny Kees - Sanger D. Shafer) « © '94 Hit Street Music, BMI »
I am going down the Louisiana way
I'm going back as of this very day
Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay
I'm going down Louisiana way

I will miss all my old Chicago friends
And think about you San Francisco now and then
I will remember my compadres in LA
Look me up down Louisiana way

I am going down Louisiana way...

Don't let your eyes get misty now
We knew the time would come around
For me to go and I will miss you

So long friend guess I'll see you while ago
I might be back sometime you just never know
I hhave left a sweetheart north of Whiskey Bay
True love waits down Louisiana way

I am going down Louisiana way...
I'm going down Louisiana way

I am going down Louisiana way...
I'm going down Louisiana way

LEAD ON

(Dean Dillon - Teddy Gentry) « © '94 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
She said I don't recall seeing you around here
You must be new to this town
Said I'm just passing through but girl from the looks of you
I could see me settling down

Then she smiled and said the invitation's open
Cause you look just like what I've been waitin' on
So I said why don't we take this matter somewhere else
And get to know this feeling that's so strong lead on

She said I had a love once but he just up and left me
I said I bet it broke your heart
I had a love once too but I acted like a fool
Oh what I'd give to be back in her arms

Then she smiled and said the invitation's open
Cause you look just like what I've been waitin' on
So I said why don't we take this matter somewhere else
And pick up right where everything went wrong lead on

She said I don't recall seeing you around here
You must be new to this town

WHAT AM I WAITING FOR

(Jim Lauderdale) « © '88 Mighty Nice Music, BMI »
It's six minutes until eleven
The phone rings but it's never you
I won't walk the floor I'll just watch it
Stood up inpatient and blue

What am I waitin' for she may never show
What am I waitin' for my legs won't let me go
What am I waitin' for what am I waitin' for
She'll never get here

It's not that I'm worried about her
She'll think up some brand new excuse
So why am I all alone and cray
While she's having fun runnin' loose

What am I waitin' for she might never show...
[ guitar - steel ] It's six minutes after eleven
But I'm talking about the next day
Our date was just made to be broken
I guess some things just never change

What am I waitin' for she might never show...

What am I waitin' for what am I waitin' for
She'll never get here

BIG ONE

(Gerry House - Devon O'Day) « © '94 Housenotes Music, BMI »
Without a warning you're out of control
The ground shakes and the oceans roll
This is the big one there's nowhere to run
On the Richter Scale of romance
You hit twelve and you don't stand a chance
This is the big one I'm fallin' in love

Now it's beat beat beat my heart's sendin' out a message
Please please please don't save me tonight
SOS in this situation means she's out of sight

No need to panic I tell myself
But I never felt this feeling with anybody else
So this is the big one I'm fallin' in love
[ steel - guitar ] Now it's beat beat beat...
No need to panic I tell myself...
Yeah this is the big one I'm fallin' in love

I'LL ALWAYS BE LOVING YOU

(Aaron Baker - Donny Kees - Sanger D. Shafer) « © '94 Hit Street Music, BMI »
You can turn me loose tear me up and run me down
Cause me shame drag my name all over town
Makes no difference what you say or what you do
As for me I'll always be loving you

My love for you was not built on shifting sands
I made a promise long ago and it still stands
So go on and do what your heart tells you to
As for me I'll always be loving you
[ guitar ] You can change your dreams change your heart or change your mind
And just pretend that it all ends with your goodbye
You can walk out and forget the love we knew
As for me I'll always be loving you

My love for you was not built on shifting sands...
As for me I'll always be loving you

NO ONE BUT YOU

(Mx D. Barnes) « © '84 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been to all the old familiar places
At least a hundred times since you've been gone
I've seen a lot of old familiar faces
But again tonight I'm going home alone

Cause my heart won't let me love no one but you
My mind keeps telling me that just won't do
My arms keep reaching out for someone new
But my heart won't let me love no one but you
[ steel ] I've told myself a million times it's over
You've gotta face the truth and let her go
Just when I think I've got it all together
Your mem'ry walks around inside my soul

Cause my heart won't let me love no one but you...
But my heart won't let me love no one but you
