DESPERATELY

(Jamie O'Hara - Kevin Welch) « © '87 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
My heart is out of control this ole love struck soul
Just lives for the moment you're around
When I hold on to you it is all I can do
Just to keep my feet on the ground

Desperately loving you desperately
When you're not here with me I get a little bit crazy
Constantly I think about you constantly
Look at what you've done to me I'm just like a little baby
Oh I love you desperately
[ ac.guitar ] Will I laugh will I cry will I live will I die
It all depends upon you
And it is dangerous I know to be lost in you so
But I am and there's nothing I can do

Desperately loving you desperately...
[ ac.guitar ] Desperately loving you desperately...

EASY TOUCH

(Rory Bourke - Tommy Rocco - Charlie Black) « © '79 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
I'm an easy touch she knows it everybody does
I just can't say no she calls I go
And I would bring her the world on a silver platter
Oh but things like that don't matter
All she wants is all my love and for that I'm an easy touch

I'm an easy touch I love her she don't know how much
I just can't resist she wants she gets

And I would gladly pay any price to be with her
Oh there's nothing I wouldn't give her
All she wants is all my love and for that I'm an easy touch

I just love to hear her say honey there's something I need today
It's so sure a sign that love is on the way
[ strings ] And I would gladly pay any price...

COME FROM THE HEART

(Richard Leigh - Susanna Clark) « © '76 April Music, ASCAP / GSC Music, ASCAP / Lion Hearted Music, ASCAP »
My daddy told me when I was a young man a lesson
He learned a long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
You're gonna have to learn to let go

You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
[ mandolin ] Now here is the one thing that I keep forgettin'
When everything is falling apart
In life as in love what I need to remember
There's such a thing as trying too hard

You got to sing like you don't need the money...

You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance dance dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work

I WOULDN'T BE A MAN

(Rory Bourke - Mike Reid) « © '87 BMG Songs, ASCAP / Songs De Burgo, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
There's a slow moon rising it's shining on your skin
The way your body moves me I know there's no holding back no holding back
I wouldn't be a man if I didn't feel like this
I wouldn't be a man if a woman like you was anything I could resist

I'd have to be from another planet where love doesn't exist
I wouldn't be a man if I didn't feel like this

I can feel passion flowing as you fall into my arms
The secret way you touch me tells me there's no holding back no holding back

I wouldn't be a man...

Roll with me baby all night long soul to soul with me baby all night long
[ guitar ] I'd have to be from another planet...

LOOKING BACK

(Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Belford Hendricks) « © '59 Clyde Otis Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI »
Looking back over my life I can see where I caused you strife
But I know yes I know I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds I can see signs of wise man heeds
And if I just have a chance I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing I gave nothing in return
Now I can begin to tell you what a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate I can see love turn to hate
But I know yes I know I'll never make that same mistake again
[ strings ] But I know yes I know I'll never make that same mistake again

TILL I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

(Clyde Otis - Dorian Burton) « © '68 Clyde Otis Music, BMI / Ensign Music, BMI »
Let's not fight it anymore unpack the bags and close the door
I'll never leave you
Though you lied right from the start I can't convince my stupid heart
Not to believe you
You've got two good men strung out and there's not the slightest doubt
That other men have loved you before
Oh but you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore

If I had one ounce of pride I'd stand up or step aside
But girl I love you
So I'll accept the crumbs you drop cause I'm a fool and I can't stop
Or rise above you
Let other speak up for themselves I speak for me and no one else
Cause I'm a beggar knocking on your door
Oh you work your things so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore
[ ac.guitar ] I'm too far gone to turn around to lift myself up off the ground
And start all over
Now him or I must win or lose no matter which one you may choose
You'll be in clover
Darling while you're making up your mind I'll be praying all the time
That you will never never be letting me go
Oh you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore
Oh you work your thing so well I'll dream of heaven and live in hell
Till I can't take it anymore
[ guitar ] **********

ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME

(Bob McDill - Paul Harrison) « © '87 Ranger Bob Music, ASCAP / PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Oh it's late I know I should be leaving
We've both got someone waiting we'll have to go
And it's so strange to think that I just met you
I almost wish I'd met you long ago

In your eyes I see a certain look and that same look must be in mine
And who knows just what we might have been another place another time

I'll admit in time that I'll forget you
Cause the truth is I still love her after all
But even though we knew it couldn't happen
For a moment we felt something oh so strong

And in your eyes...
And who knows just what we might have been another place another time

OLD COYOTE TOWN

(Larry Boone - Paul Nelson - Gene Nelson) « © '85 Believus Or Not Music, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
He's got a US flag on his front porch to remind everyone where he lives
And up in the attic there are papers that prove the old house is finally his
After thirty five years the grass still don't grow in that rock hard west Texas ground
Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote town
Like horses the pickups are parked out in front of a cafe that don't need a name
Where the old men rock as the tumbleweeds roll
Pass the boarded up windows down Main
Waist high weeds hide a forsale sign at the drive-in where my innocence died
With a rusty advertisement dangling by a nail says popcorn and pepsi for a dime
And down at the depot where I left for good
There's a hobo and his three legged hound
Waitin' for a train that no longer comes to that old coyote town

And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs
To a rhythm that don't ever slow down
As cars and trucks and time pass by that old coyote town
Daddy falls asleep in the living room on the sofa with the TV on
Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me sometimes he waits too long
But I still think of people and the place that he loves
How much longer will they be around
Till it's aches to aches dust to dust for that old coyote town
Like horses the pickups are parked out in front of a cafe that don't need a name
Where the old men rock as the tumbleweeds roll
Pass the boarded up windows down Main
And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs
To a rhythm that don't ever slow down
As cars and trucks and time pass by that old coyote town
God bless that old coyote town

YOU LOVE ME THROUGH IT ALL

(Hunter Moore - Niles Borop) « © '87 Hard Scuffle Music, BMI / Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Some days I seem so far away from where I want to be
And the things that I've accomplished seem so small
When I'm weary of the struggle and I feel I can't go
You love me through it all

Your love gives me a balance when I'm standing on the edge
You keep me going when my dreams have stalled
And you're always building bridges even when I'm building walls
You love me through it all

Sometimes I come home bragging bout the things I've done that day
Like a thing that I'm on top and cannot fall
And when I'm high on my successes thinking only of myself
You love me through it all
[ guitar ] Through it all you're there to comfort me you keep my feet on solid ground
I know that I can make it as long as you're around

Your love gives me a ballance...
