HEARTLAND

(Steve Dorff - John Bettis) « © '92 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / John Bettis Music, ASCAP »
When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listenin' to the sound of the American heart
And Opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye

Sing a song about the heartland the only place I feel at home
Sing about the way a good man works until the daylight's gone
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right
Sing a song about the heartland sing a song about my life
[ guitar ] Sing a song about the heartland...
[ fiddle ] **********

BABY YOUR BABY

(Phil Thomas - Hal Newman) « © '92 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
All you know-it-all lovers better heed some advice
If you're bad to your baby you better think twice
Love don't come easy love ain't blind
You've got to show her you love her morning and night
Be there for her just to make things right
Make her believe till there ain't a doubt in her mind

Better baby your baby with a love that's strong
Hold her and tell her you'll never do wrong
Better baby your baby
Cause if you don't one day your baby'll be gone
[ guitar ] Don't let her get lonely don't make her cry
Don't take her for granted don't tell her a lie
Bring her red roses when she's blue
Give her the best of what you've got to give
You'll be together as long as you live
Better baby your baby and she'll baby you

Better baby your baby...
Better baby your baby...

I CROSS MY HEART

(Steve Dorff - Eric Kaz) « © '90 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / Zena Music, ASCAP »
Our love is unconditional we knew it from the start
I see it in your eyes and you can feel it in my heart
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow

I cross my heart and promise to
Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine
[ violin ] You'll always be the miracle that makes my life complete
As long as there's a breath in me I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future is as fas as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be

I cross my heart...

And if along the way we find a day it starts to storm
You've got the promise of my love to keep you warm
[ steel ] In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine
A love as true as mine

WHEN DID YOU STOP LOVING ME

(Donny Kees - Monty Holmes) « © '92 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
When did you stop loving me how long have I been a memory
I've got to know for my own sanity tell me when did you stop loving me
Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn
You know that night has haunted me for so long
Or was your love already cold tell me please I gotta know
Darling when did you stop loving me
There was a time when you worshipped where I stood
Heaven knows I'd bring it back if I could
Now I can tell when we make love it ain't me you're thinkin' of
Tell me when did you stop loving me darling when did you stop loving me

SHE LAYS IT ALL ON THE LINE

(Clay Blaker) « © '92 O Tex Music, BMI »
Her hair is red and her eyes are green
She's soft and tender but she can be mean
She know's just what it takes to keep me right on track
Now when it comes to lovin' she don't hold nothin' back

When she loves me she's nearly out of control
When she loves me it comes from deep in her soul
When she loves me I know she's all mine
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line

Out honky tonkin' where the lights are down low
She always asked the band to play somethin' real slow
When we get home I know she picks up the slack
Cause when it comes to lovin' she dont' hold nothin' back

When she loves me it's the things that she says
When she loves me she's way out on the edge
When she loves me I loose track of time
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line

My baby taught me something everybody should learn
When you're playin' with fire it's alright to get burned
It really don't matter if you loose or you win
The only way to do it is to get out and limb
[ guitar ] When she loves me...
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line

LAST IN LOVE

(John D. Souther - Glenn Frey) « © '92 April Music, ASCAP »
Blues outside my door I don't even know if it's rainin'
But I've been here before and I don't want to be here again
Every now and then voices on the wind call me back to the first time
Far away and clear you can hear the teardrops falling for the last in love
If I let you down all I can say is I'm sorry
Now it's all over town so I don't want to hear it from you
Please don't look away it's hard enough to say this could go on forever
When the night is clear I can hear the teardrops falling for the last in love
[ guitar - piano ] Every now and then voices on the wind I may love you always and always
Far away and clear you can hear the teardrops falling for the last in love
Calling for the last in love will we always be the last in love

THOUGHTS OF A FOOL

(Mel Tillis - Wayne P.Walker) « © '59 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
I had a love it was all mine I throw her out I must have been blind
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud
She'd love me so but I wasn't true she's gone for good what can I do
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud
There's not a thing that I can say about her
Except I don't know how I'm gonna live without her
I had a love it was all mine I've watched it fade a kiss at a time
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud
That's the thoughts of a fool thinking out loud

KING OF BROKEN HEARTS

(Jim Lauderdale) « © '92 Mighty Nice Music, BMI »
The king of broken hearts doesn't ask much from his friends
And he has quite a few of them
They know he will understand that's just the way it goes
The king of broken hearts doesn't know he's a king
He's tryin' to forget other things
Like some old chilly scenes he's walking through alone
He talks to angels and the stars start to spin
He thinks of troubles that he's gotten in
He recalls how his heart got broken and how it's still that way

The king of broken hearts is so sad and wise he can smile while he's crying inside
We know he'll be brave tonight cause he's the king of broken hearts
[ steel ] He talks to angels and the stars start to spin...

The king of broken hearts thinks that he's no fool he's a little bit like me and you
So what's a king like that supposed to do qith all that blue time
We know he'll be brave tonight cause he's the king of broken hearts
He's the king of broken hearts

WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS

(Jim Lauderdale - John Leventhal) « © '92 Mighty Nice Music, BMI »
Where the sidewalk ends and the road begins we said goodbye on a cold dark night
I'm not afraid to go you bet I'm not where the side walk ends you left a lot

Some people leave and never come back
Some stay in touch some lose track
Your mind kept saying come on let's go
You started learning what you don't need to know

Where the sidewalk ends and the road begins I'll wait for you in the cold dark night
You might come back you had to go where the sidewalk ends I'll never know
Hide from the future run from the past I guess I'll stay here as long as I can last
Whistles still blow but the train is gone ain't no wheels gonna take me from my home

Where the sidewalk ends...
[ guitar ] I'm not afraid to go you bet I'm not where the side walk ends you left a lot

Where the sidewalk ends...
Where the side walk ends you left a lot where the side walk ends you left a lot

HEARTLAND

(Steve Dorff - John Bettis) « © '92 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI / John Bettis Music, ASCAP »
[ with George Strait Jr ]
When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar
You're listening to the sound of the American heart
And Opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye
Sing a song about the heartland the only place I feel at home
Sing about the way a good man works until the daylight's gone
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right
Sing a song about the heartland sing a song about my life
[ steel ] There's a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you
Where simple people living side by side
Still wave to their neighbor when they're drivin' by
Sing a song about the heartland
Sing a song about the heartland sing a song about my life
