COME IN OUT OF THE WORLD
(Don Schlitz - Billy Livsey)
« © '95 Don Schlitz Music, ASCAP »
Everybody talk a bit too fast today did everybody say we need it now
Did they leave you wishing you could vanish in the air
And when you found out you couldn't then you found your way here
Come in out of the world out of the cold and lonely night
Come in out of the world where everything's judged in black and white
Let me take your coat and hat and lay them on the shelf and you can be yourself
Come in out of the world where everyone swears that they're your friend
Come in out of the world out where they use you again and again
Let me pour a glass or two there's nowhere else to be
And there's no one here but me come in
[ steel ]
You don't need permission to say what's on your mind
I'm willing to listen if you're willing to take the time
Come in out of the world out of the cold and lonely night
Come in out of the world just let it go and hold me tight
If you look into my heart before the night is through
You'll see the place I've saved for you come in
Come in out of the world come in out of the world come in out of the world

I'LL TAKE THE MEMORIES
(Charlie Craig - Keith Stegall)
« © '89 Blackwood Music, BMI »
There's van out in the drive it's time to ride everything up
We've taken down the bed where so many nights we made love
We've gone through everything and given back the rings we once cherished
You can take the things you want and leave the things you don't
But as for me I'll take the mem'ries you can have the rest
I know we had some bad times but our good times were the best
There's oh so many keepsakes after all that we've been through
But I'll take the mem'ries if I can't have you
I don't know just what I'll do I've been so used to loving you such a long time
And even though I'll try there's no way that I'll get you off my mind
So while we're packing up our lives and saying our goodbyes I wanna tell you
You can take the things you want and leave the things you don't
But as for me I'll take the mem'ries...

I BET SHE KNOWS
(Paul Thorn - Billy Maddox)
« © '95 Illegal Songs, BMI »
She wouldn't know me if she saw me and you'd turn your head if you did
She'll never know how much you loved me or what kind of love we had
You threw away all our pictures but the memories won't go away
She's asking questions that you don't have to answer it's written all over your face
Yeah it's written all over your face
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind I bet she sees it in your eyes
What's in your heart you cannot hide I bet she knows when I'm on your mind
Late in the midnight hour when you're doing what lovers do
There's still a desire deep down inside that's just between me and you
Now don't you ever feel guilty giving just half of your heart
Holdin' on to your foolish pride is just keeping us apart
Yeah it's just keeping us apart
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind...
[ steel ]
In the cool of the night when the howling wind calls my name
You can run to her arms but it's not the same it's just not the same boy
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind...
I bet she knows when I'm on your mind...

FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING
(Jerry Crutchfield)
« © '64 Glitterfish Music, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Baby you know me well you know I mean what I say
Before I say farewell I'll give you just another day
Really find out what's happening find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening you're gonna find out that I'm gone
Tell me what you're gonna do you better make up your mind
It all depends on you or I'm leaving you far behind
You really find out what's happening...
I'm gone
[ guitar ]
Baby you know it's true we've been through thick and thin boy
If you don't come through you won't ever see me again
You really find out what's happening...
You'd better find out find out what's happening
You'd better find out find out what's happening
You'd better find out find out what's happening

FIRE TO FIRE
(Bill Rice - Mary Sharon Rice - Mike Lawler)
« © '93 Bash Music, ASCAP »
[ with Willie Nelson ]
There's no such thing as perfect strangers so I come to you the way I am
If you call on me to sacrifice I won't promise that I can
We're fire to fire flame to flame pure desire no refrains
Or sad songs only fire to fire
We will wake up when the morning's gone and I'll still feel you on my fingertips
But they'll be nothing in the afterburn but the taste upon our lips
We're fire to fire...
I'm not here tonight to rescue you and you don't need me in your life
But I know I'll have the best of you tonight
We're fire to fire...
We're fire to fire flame to flame we're fire to fire flame to flame
We're fire to fire flame to flame we're fire to fire flame to flame
We're fire to fire

BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM
(Mickey Cates)
« © '91 Sony/ATV Tune, ASCAP »
They married back in forty-two they were young and love was new
And every day that feeling grew between the two of them
When work grew scarce and times got bad the hope would chase away the sad
And hope was sometimes all they had between the two of them
The fifties came and the sixties went a mortage note replaced the rent
And they made the most of each day spent between the two of them
The children all turned out just fine he retired in eighty-nine
Left with oh so little time between the two of them
Today I braved the graveyard rain and placed a rose between their names
But that's the most that ever came between the two of them
And oh I miss them both so much his crooked smile her gentle touch
And the pleasures of just growing up between the two of them
Oh I miss them both so much...

NOBODY DIES FROM A BROKEN HEART
(Randy Sharp - Sonny LeMaire)
« © '94 Longitude Music, BMI »
Nobody told me it could ever hurt so bad
I'm having to learn the hard way now that you're gone
It's hurting me more than any pain I've ever had
I don't know how I can go on
(Nobody dies from a broken heart give it time and your dreams will start again
I know love can tear you apart but nobody dies from a broken heart)
Everyone tells me it's gonna take a little time
Before you find your heartaches slipping away
I know they mean well and they're just trying to ease my mind
And it doesn't help to hear them say
(Nobody dies from a broken heart...
There's nothing anybody's gonna say that'll talk me out of feeling this way
There's nothing anyone can do to take away my love for you
[ guitar - steel ]
I know they mean well...
(Nobody dies from a broken heart) oh I wanna be
(Give it time and your dreams will start again) hurt so bad
I know love can tear you apart but nobody dies) from a broken heart
(Nobody dies from a broken heart...

I'LL TAKE TODAY
(Kent M. Robbins - Will Robinson)
« © '94 Longitude Music, BMI »
Yeah he's the one the one I told you all about
And it was serious but it was long ago
He just might walk over here and give me a kiss for old times
But don't you worry dear old times next to you can never compare
I'll take today over yesterday any day
I'll take lying in your arms tonight over and above any love I've known
Memories may find me but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday any day
[ guitar ]
I'd be lyin' if I tried to tell you now
That I never loved him and he doesn't ever cross my mind
But that was yesterday and baby I don't wanna go back
Here's where I'm gonna stay with you with each tomorrow of my life
I'll take today over yesterday any day...
Memories may find me...

LOVE YOU GAVE TO ME
(Gary Nicholson - Delbert McClinton)
« © '94 Lew Bob Songs, BMI »
I have walked through a world of temptation I have witnessed the power of gold
I told myself I would not surrender to all the things that steal the soul
A restless heart is bound to wander never finding lasting peace
In the sea of life I went under and all my hope abandoned me
They tried to tell me of a sweet salvation and how glorious it can be
But I found nothing I could believe in like the love you gave to me
You rescued me and got the wheels turning you always seem to know just what to do
The fire you started keeps right on burning and nothing changes my faith in you
I've been told of a sweet salvation...
Well I've been told of a sweet salvation...
I found nothing I can believe in like the love you gave to me

LOVE WILL
(Byron Hill - Cyril Rawson)
« © '95 Brother Bart Music, ASCAP / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Money won't dry your tears and words ain't always true
Flowers are nice to look at but they won't satisfy you
But honey love will honey love will
A wholle lotta good things won't but honey love will
Candy won't give you sweet dreams letters can't hold you tight
Phonecalls they can't touch you or keep you warm at night
But honey love will...
You may stop your heart from falling all in self defense
When all you need is something to build your confidence
Ah honey love will...
(Let me tell about it now)
[ guitar ]
Pretty cars won't forgive you and fashions won't always fit
A washin' won't sweep you off your feet nothing a little bit
But honey love will...
A wholle lotta good things won't but honey love will
