DRIVE
(Bill LaBounty - Steve Wariner)
« © '93 Careers Music, BMI / Steve Wariner Music, BMI »
Straight ahead right down the highway out across New Mexico
Passing trucks with Haggard singing on the radio
There's a shootin' star falling behind me
But wishin' won't make a dream come true
Right now there's only one thing that I gotta do
I gotta drive keep on rolling I gotta cover some ground tonight
I gotta drive like a river flowing in her arms I'm gonna be alright
One more stop fill her up a cup of coffee and a piece of pie
A dollar tip and I'm back out under that western sky
Got the pedal down as far as it's going I ain't worryin' about my speed
Cause I just don't know how long she'll wait for me
Oh I gotta drive keep on rolling..
[ guitar ]
There's a shootin' star falling behind me...
Oh I gotta drive keep on rolling..
Drive I gotta drive oh I gotta drive I gotta drive

IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU
(Jon Vezner - Jack White)
« © '93 Minnesota Music, BMI / Bob White Music, ASCAP »
I could be wild as a gypsy doing just what I please
My back to the past and my thumb in the breeze
I might be free but where would I be
If I didn't love you if I didn't love you
I could roll down a river and never come back
Ride on a rail till I run out of track
But it wouldn't matter that's a matter of fact
If I didn't love you if I didn't love you
If I didn't love you I'd never have found
These sweet ties that bind without weighin' me down
If I didn't love you I'd have nothing to give
I'd spend a lifetime and never have lived
If I didn't love you if I didn't love you
I could sail a high sea with my stern to the wind
Mind full of memories of the places I've been
But I'd still be waitin' for my ship to come in
If I didn't love you if I didn't love you
If I didn't love you I'd never have found...
If I didn't love you if I didn't love you

ONE BELIEVER
(Walt Aldridge - Susan Longacre)

You were both believers from the time you met
But time has a way of making believers forget
Now words are worthless and tears can't bring you round
Nothing is sacred when it finally comes down to
One believer still hanging on
One who won't leave the one who's already gone
One who's forever one who's over and done
Ain't nothing lonelier than one believer
When someone stops trying love can't be saved
Where there's no will believe me there ain't no way
Take it from someone who knows just how you feel
You can't get down the road with only one wheel
One believer still hanging on...
One believer (still hanging) one believer
Oh one believer (still hanging) one believer
One believer (still hanging) one believer

IT WON'T BE OVER YOU
(Trey Bruce - Thom McHugh)

When she told me it was over
My tears fell like rain to the ground
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
I may have gone under but I did not drown
I can't say that my last tear's fallen
I may cry another time or two
There's still a chance I'll get my heart broken
But the next time I do it won't be over you
Well the sun is shining brighter
With each mile that slips beneath my wheels
And the load is getting lighter now I know how freedom feels
I can't say that my last tear's fallen...
There's a smile on the horizon
That outshines all the pain you put me through
I can't say that my last tear's fallen...
I can't say that my last tear's fallen...

YOU COULD ALWAYS COME BACK
(Robert Byrne - Marc Beeson)

Long time no see yeah I'm fine you know me
Most folks can't tell I still hurt like hell
But you look in my eyes and see right through
You wanna know what you can do
You could always come back girl that's all you could do
Walk away from the life that he's made for you
You could love me again just the way you used to
Girl as long as you've asked you could always come back
Don't write don't call don't try to help at all
I've come this far you've already done your part
Sweet sweet darling I'll tell you the truth
There's only one thing you could do
You could always come back...
As long as you've asked you could always come back

DRIVIN' AND CRYIN'
(Rick Giles - Spike Blake)

Picked my clothes up grabbed my suitcase
Never looked back at the look on your face I just took off drivin'
There's gotta be someplace I can go to
Help me forget about how much I love you
Maybe Dallas San Antone a two-lane highway all alone
Drivin' and cryin' drivin' and cryin'
Got the radio up the pedal pushed down
Night wind's blowin' my tears around
Gotta get back where I used to be
But I'm racin' with your memory
Drivin' and cryin' drivin' and cryin'
Sometimes in Texas ain't nothin' out there
A man could get lost headed for nowhere
That's where I'm going without you
At least the long nights won't desert me
If I got nobody ain't nobody gonna hurt me
Hello heartache it's been a long time
I'm out of her life and out of my mind
Drivin' and cryin' drivin' and cryin'...
Drivin' and cryin' oh
[ guitar ]
Drivin' cryin' drivin' cryin'

SAME MISTAKE AGAIN
(Carl Jackson - Steve Wariner)
« © '93 Famous Music, ASCAP / Steve Wariner Music, BMI »
Now that it's all over now that you broke my heart
It's plain to see that you and me were wrong right from the start
Hindsight's 20-20 and love was blind back then
Anyway with half a chance I'd make the same mistake again
On the way to your new love I was just your stepping stone
Guess I should have sensed it somehow I should have known
But knowing what I know now even knowing where it ends
God knows with half a chance I'd make the same mistake again
[ steel ]
Though you're gone forever life will never be the same
Even though I go to pieces every time I hear your name
I still say the wrong choice was the right one way back then
I swear with half a chance I'd make the same mistake again
On the way to your new love...

MISSING YOU
(Rick Giles - Susan Longacre)
« © '92 Careers Music, BMI / Mike Curb Music, BMI / Music Of Stage Three, BMI /
Famous Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
I live for the phone I die for the mail
I took your picture right off the nail
And put it right by my bed so I could see you instead
Of the darkness of night
I hold conversations with you in my mind
They only tighten this knot deep inside
And the aching won't end till I hold you again if I only survive
Why did you have to go why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind
Missing you missing you
I started a letter I stared at your name
There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain
There was no sound at all but the snow lonely falls
Of an unspoken tear
Why did you have to go...
Life may take us in different directions
But I always end up deeper deeper in my true affection
Why did you have to go...
Missing you missing you missing you missing you
Missing you missing you missing you darling
Missing you baby missing you

MARRIED TO A MEMORY
(Dave Loggins)
« © '93 MCA Music, ASCAP »
Seventeen or thirty-five it felt the same then as now
I ain't talkin' bout husbands and wives and nothin' bout wedding vows
Young boy was full ol joy lost his high school sweetheart
First time in his life he found himself out there on that street
Walkin' around single married to a memory
Much too young to be walking round single arried to a memory
Love has its own bonds and has its own means
You just can't separate or divorce yourself from feelings
Young man found he had lost a love he thought
Would last forever then he wondered if forever he'd be
Walking round single married to a memory
I see these lovers with these looks on their faces
I wonder what they see when they look at me now
I see others in other places
Don't know where they're goin' don't know where they've been
Do I just quit no I wanna be loved and love again
Seventeen or thirty-five it felt the same then as now
I ain't talkin' bout husbands and wives and nothin' bout wedding vows
Young boy young man middle-aged crazy brokenhearted here I am
Back out on the street walkin' around single married to a memory
Once again here I am back on the street
[ guitar ]
I don't know where I'm going I don't know where I've been
Do I just quit no I wanna be loved and love again
See I was a young boy then a young man middle-aged crazy broken hearted
Here I am back out on the street
Walking round single once again here I am
Walking round single can't begin to count the times I've been single
Married to a memory
I wanna be loved again and loved again loved again

SAILS
(John Hall - Johanna Hall)
« © '76 Blackwood Music, BMI / Siren Songs, BMI »
Sails are just like wings you can fly from things
Run before the wind Lord let it blow
Let it rock me slow while I sleep below
Dreaming dreams that only sailors know
It will soothe your mind smooth away your lines
Set your clock back on your own time
If you sail with me we will find the sea
We will find our love over again
[ ac.guitar - strings ]
It will soothe your mind smooth away your lines...
We will find our love over again
