CHEATIN' FIRE

(Russ Allison - Donald Miller - Dave Hall) « © '81 Irving Music, BMI »
Cheatin' fire is gonna get higher
Still we lay here in the ashes unconcerned
Every night the same old thing just poor fuel on the flame
Before this cheatin' fire goes out someone'll get burned

Here we are again too far gone to gain control
And we can't find the way to kill the flame
We get lost in our love don't know which way to turn
So we'll just build the fire and let it burn

Cheatin' fire is gonna burn higher...
[ guitar ] It doesn't feel so wrong cause the fire's gone out at home
And right now this feeling's more than we can stand
We find we're just too weak to fight this strong desire
And tonight we'll build another cheatin' fire

Cheatin' fire is gonna burn higher...
Cheatin' fire is gonna burn higher...
Cheatin' fire is gonna burn higher...

I MADE YOU A WOMAN

(Mike Huffman) « © '81 Someplace Else Music, BMI »
I came to you wedding like you asked me to
So you would be sure that all is forgot between me and you
I could tell you remember as our eyes met
I made you a woman and that's hard to forget

I made you a woman a long time ago
And I know you're not sorry your eyes told me so
Oh I wanted to touch you I could not help myself
I made you a woman for somebody else
[ dobro ] I saw your lips trembled as you said your vow
And I knew the meaning of every tear that fell on your gown
No one suspected and I'll never tell
That I made you a woman for somebody else

I made you a woman a long time ago...

SLOW LOVEMAKIN'

(Curly Putman - Mike Kosser) « © '81 Tree Publishing, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
What would you think about wine and dinner by candle light
The nice warm glowin' fire the lights down beside
And what about a song or two a walk in a midnight mist
And after all of that what would you think about this

Let's do some slow lovemakin' tonight
Cause when you're slow lovemakin' you're makin' it right
And when you're tired and weary from the cares of the day
A little slow lovemakin' will take us away
Hey take us away
[ guitar ] What about when we awake between the dark and the dawn
What would you think about lovin' on and on
Now that we found the way we know right where it's at
And after all of this what would you think about that

Let's do some slow lovemakin' tonight
Cause when you're slow lovemakin' you're makin' it right
And when you're tired and weary from the cares of the day
A little slow lovemakin' will take us away

Hey let's do some slow lovemakin' tonight...

WE HAD IT ALL

(Troy Seals - Donnie Fritts) « © '73 Danor Music, BMI »
I can hear the wind a blowing in my mind
Just the way it used to sound through the Georgia pines
You were there to answer when I called
You and me Lord knows we had it all

Remember how I used to touch your hair
While reaching for the feeling that was always there
You were the best thing in my life I can recall
You and me we had it all

I know that we can never live those times again
So I let the dreams take me back to where we've been
Then I'll stay there with you just as long as I can
Oh it was so good oh it was so good oh it was so good when I was your man

I'll never stop believing in your smile
And even though you didn't stay it was all worth while
You were the best thing in my life that I can recall you
You and me Lord knows we had it all
Yeah you and me we had it all

RED NECKIN' LOVE MAKIN' NIGHT

(Troy Seals - Max D. Barnes) « © '81 Big Yellow Dog Music, BMI / ATV Songs, BMI /
Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »

Hello baby Conway here let me lay this in your ear
Get ready to go cause we're gonna roll about sundown
I got boogie woogie music on the old eight track yeah
Yeah I got the top laid back
We'll go cruisin' we'll go foolin' around

Well here I am baby you ready to play slide it on in let it slip away
We got to get it we ain't got a minute to waste
I got a six pack o'long necks in the trunk on ice
Ooh but you sure look nice
Makes me wanna hug ya kiss you all over your face

Well it's a red neckin' love makin' night
Ya ain't had much till you've been touched in the moonlight
You feel in the most when you get real close and you hold on tight
It's a red neckin' love makin' night
It's a red neckin' love makin' night
[ guitar ] The stars in your eyes the wind in your hair oh what a down home love affair
When we go out walking we know what we're talking about
Listen to the whippoorwills how they sing just like us they're doin' their thing
We know what we got when the nights get hot down south

Yeah it's a red neckin' love makin' night...
It's a red neckin' love makin' night...
[ piano ] Red neckin' love makin' night...

TIGHT FITTIN' JEANS

(Mike Huffman) « © '80 Prater Music, ASCAP »
She tried to hide it by the faded denim clothes she wore
But I knew she'd never been inside a bar before
And I felt like a peasant who just had met a queen
And she knew I saw right through her tight fittin' jeans

I asked her what's a woman like you doing here
I see you're used to champagne but I'll buy you a beer
She said you've got me figured I'm not what I seem
But for a dance I'll tell you about these tight fittin' jeans

She said I married money I'm used to wearing pearls
But I've always dramed of being just a good ole boy's girl
So tonight I left those crystal candle lights to live a dream
And pardner there's a tiger in these tight fittin' jeans
[ fiddle ] We danced every dance and Lord the beer that we went through
I'm satisfied I did my best to make her dream come true
As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed
A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fittin' jeans

In my mind she's still a lady that's all I'm gonna to say
I knew thast I'd been broken by the time we parted ways
I know I held more woman than most eyes had ever seen
The night I knew a lady wearing tight fittin' jeans

Well now she's back in her world and I'm still stuck in mine
But I know I'll always remember the time
A cowboy once had a millionaire's dream
Lord I love that lady wearing tight fittin' jeans

OVER THIRTY (NOT OVER THE HILL)

(Bucky Jones) « © '81 Tree Publishing, BMI »
She woke up this morning and fixed him his breakfast
Just like she's done for so long
She knows when she leaves with the kids for the bus stop
When she gets back he'll be gone
She thinks about last night when he turned out the nightlite
How he didn't hold her again
She's a warm lovin' woman feeling unwanted
And she's taken about as much as she can

She's over thirty and under love
And she's gettin' hungry for the right kind of touch
And if he don't want her you know somebody will
She's just over thirty but not over the hill

She still remembers the way that he held her
Just a few short years ago
And she don't understand why he's turning colder
While she's still feeling the glow
Then she starts to wonder if she were younger
How would he treat her tonight
Cause she's still all woman and if he don't want her
She might just take any love she can find

She's over thirty and under love...

HEARTS

(Bob McDill) « © '81 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Eyes you can trust your eyes
If you see someone across the room
You know it's still too soon if you say don't
Your eyes won't

Hands they'll understand
And if you tell them not to touch
The last time hurt too much you can't depend
On your hands

But love will catch you anyway
Cause no matter what you say
Hearts don't pay no mind
Oh hearts rush right in everytime
Hands and hearts get torn apart
What can we do with our foolish hearts

Your minds trust wordly kind
If you say don't start dreaming now
It'll try not do somehow and you'll find
You can't trust your minds
And your voice won't let you down
If you don't wanna say hello
Well that's all right you know you can't count on your voice

But love will catch you anyway...

Hearts don't pay no mind
Oh hearts rush right in everytime
Hands and hearts get torn apart
What can we do with our foolish hearts

Hearts don't pay no mind...

I'M ALREADY TAKEN

(Steve Wariner - Terry Ryan) « © '81 Steve Wariner Music, BMI / Fleetside Music, BMI »
[ with Kathy Twitty ]
A little third grade hand wrote I love you on a note of yellow paper
And sent it to the frontrow to a little blonde haired girl
The blonde haired girl just opened it and read it to herself
And I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said

I'm already taken you spoke up too late
I love somebody else so you'll just have to wait

The years flew by so quickly there we were in junior high
I realized that I still loved her so
So I called her up and told her exactly how I felt
Then she said there's something that you really ought to know

I'm already taken...

So wait I did and never changed my love for that little blonde haired girl
Who's the mother of our little blonde haired boy
Who's to our hearts so close
I hate to think how fast he's growing up
Last night I overheard them as she tucked him into bed
He said mommy will you marry me and this is what she said

I'm already taken you spoke up too late
I love your daddy son so you'll just have to wait
I'm already taken you spoke up too late
I love your daddy son so you'll just have to wait

LOVE SALVATION

(Dennis Knutson - Jerry Barlow) « © '81 ATV Songs, BMI / Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
Out of the night you came to rescue me from my world of misery
I saw the light I saw your love light shine
I saw the light the first time love light in your eyes

You are my love salvation
You are my sweet sensation woman
You are my love salvation
End of my desperation woman

Open your arms I need to feel your touch
Rescue me with your love
Hold me tight come on and hold me tight
Promise me you will hold me till the morning ligt

You are my love salvation...
[ guitar ] You save me from my sorrow you save me from my hell
You save me from my trouble you save me from myself

You are my love you are my love salvation
You are my sweet sensation woman
You are my love salvation
End of my desperation woman
