Strange

I laid there feeling sorry for myself in a bed of kleenex
Stuffin' chocolates in my mouth on the phone with my best friend cussin' my ex
He broke my heart felt like the world had ended
I cried myself to sleep thinkin' I cant get over him

Strange talk about luck I woke up and the sun was shining
Strange I oughta be in bed with my head
In the pillow cryin' over us but I ain't ain't love strange

Got half a mind to spend my whole paycheck on one of those dresses
Those strapless black ones that are famous for teaching lessons
Drop by his place pick up the rest of my things
He'll tell me I look good I'll laugh and say yeah isn't time

Strange talk about luck I woke up and the sun was shining...

Strange strange talk about luck I woke up and the sun was shining...

Strange talk about luck I woke up and the sun was shining
Strange strange strange

Just When I Thought I'd Stopped Lovin' You

Rivers Rutherford - Mark Nesler

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

Three o'clock in the mornin' when the telephone started ringin'
I had a feeling it would be you I didn't wanna take it
but I let my imagination think of some kinda trouble you got into
And I just had to answer and you had to stop cryin'
And I I tried to fight it

But I thought if I didn't listen to you
Then I wouldn't be much of a friend
I let you come over and cry on my shoulder
The hundredth time over again
And all those old emotions came raining out of the blue
Just when I thought I'd stopped lovin' you

You gotta way of knowin' when I'm on the edge of givin' in
And how to use those beautiful eyes
So if one day you're askin' me if I ever thought that maybe we
Oughta give it one more try and I just had to answer
And you you had to start smilin' and I thought about lyin'

But I thought if I wasn't honest with you...

Oh I hate you for makin' me crazy
So why is it I I keep on takin' you back baby

But I thought if I didn't listen to you...

Just when I thought I'd stopped lovin' you
You take two steps down the highway
But you come runnin back
What am I supposed to do
What am I supposed to do
What am I supposed to do with that
Wrap my arms around you

I Keep On Lovin' You

Terry McBride - Ronnie Dunn

© Tree Pub, BMI

Love takes the patience of Job that's what my mama always said
Faith is the belief in something more than what you know
That's what the Good Book says
You gotta play the cards you got who knows what fate is holding
At times you gotta go without knowing where you're going

That's why I keep on lovin' you I keep on lovin' you
Through the baby don't leave mes and never will agains
And I promise tos I keep on lovin' you

Lord knows we've had our share of fights
Our sleepless nights our ups and downs
We've had plenty and then some of baby I'm gones and turnarounds
Sometimes I swear it might be easier to throw in the towel
Someday we're gonna look back say look at us now

That's why I keep on lovin' you I keep on lovin' you...

Keep on lovin' you
Through the I take it backs I didn't mean it like thats
I'd never hurt yous oh I keep on lovin' you
I keep on lovin' you I keep on lovin' you
Through the I take it backs I didn't mean it like that
I'd never hurt yous oh I keep on lovin' you

I Want A Cowboy

Wayne Kirkpatrick - Jimmie Sloas - David Davidson - Katrina Elam

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Everybody told me he was a dream
Picture perfect like he stepped right off the silver screen
Said that he would sweep me off my feet
But I'm still standing no he didn't do it for me
Cause I don't go for all that wine and dine
With the ray ban fake tan never mind

I want a down home up with the sun rise man
A pick-up truck driving bull riding strong steady hand
I want the wranglers stetson and all that stuff
I want the real McCoy I want a cowboy

I'm tired of talking bout it wasting my time
On all the cheap talkers needing me feeding me lines
Give me somebody who's tender but tough
Simple and honest knows a thing or two about love
I've seen enough to know i know what I like
It's the hard working head turning rugged type

I want a down home up with the sun rise man...

I've seen enough to know you know what I mean
Ride me off into the sunset that's my thing

I want a down home up with the sun rise man...

Consider Me Gone

Steve Diamond - Marv Green

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Everytime I turn the conversation to somethin'
Deeper than the weather
I can feel you all but shuttin' down
And when I need an explanation for the silence
You just tell me you don't wanna talk about it now
What you're not sayin' is comin' in loud 'n' clear
We're at a crossroads here

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not the arrow to that heart of you
If you don't get drunk on my kiss
If you think you can do better than this
Then I guess we're done let's not drag this on
Consider me gone

With you I've always been wide open
Like a window or an ocean
There is nothin' I've ever tried to hide
So when you leave me not knowin' where you're goin'
I start thinkin' that we're lookin'
We're lookin' at goodbye
How about a strong bout a strong shot of honesty
Don't you owe that to me

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose...

Consider me of being real consider me the past
Consider me a smile in an old photograph
Someone who used to make you laugh

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose...

But Why

Neil Thrasher - Jason Sellers

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

I can open doors all by myself
And I'm strong enough to face this world
Without anybody's help
But why why would I want to
Why when you love me like you do

I could go on livin' without tasting your kiss
Get by without this moment you touching me like this but why

I could keep this feeling locked in my heart
I could bury these emotions and put up my guard
But why why start resisting why look at all I'd be missing

I could go on livin' without tasting your kiss...

But why would i do that I'd have to be crazy
To give all you give me what you do to me baby

I could go on livin' without tasting your kiss
Get by without this moment
You touching me like this and holding me and loving me like this
But why why would I want to baby

Pink Guitar

Ed Hill - Jimmie O'Neal - Shaye Smith

© Blackwood Music, BMI

She saw it in the window just a callin' out her name
She mowed the grass took out the trash and saved saved saved
She bought it on a Monday had a gig on Friday night
In the garage in front of her mom she came alive

She likes to play she loves to rock
Yeah she's closer to the bottom but she's headed for the top
She's got a dream to be a star
Dressed in black like Johnny Cash with a pink guitar

No she didn't go to college she just up and hit the road
Where ever they were jamming she would go go go
And every single hole in the wall from here to Shreveport
She'd have them in the palm of her hands screamin' for more

She likes to play she loves to rock...

Some day you're gonna see her up there on the Opry stage
And soon you'll see her hanging there next to Minnie Pearl's hat
In the Country Music Hall of Fame
She likes to play she loves to rock
She's got a dream to be a star

She likes to play she loves to rock...
I said a pink guitar

She's Turning 50 Today

Tommy James - Liz Hengber - Reba McEntire

© Songs For Moi, BMI

Her husband left on Saturday for a woman who was half her age
Sunday she just layed in bed with the covers pulled over her head

But on Monday morning she woke up and loaded up her pick-up truck
Took one last look at her old life then hit the gas then said goodbye
To all her jeans and her old baseball caps
Cause she knows for sure she ain't comin' back

This is a house she though she'd never spend this day
Sitting behind the wheel on the interstate
Fifty was quite alright she's changing roads tonight
And its such a bittersweet way to celebrate
She's turning fifty today

She left that Oklahoma town the only world she had know till now
Memories of those twenty years
She watched them in her rear view mirror fade away
Oh but that's all right yeah this could be the time of her life

This is a house she thought she'd never spend this day...

Oh her windows are down the wind blows her hair
There she goes could be anywhere

Forty was quite alright but she's changing roads tonight
Tomorrow's a mystery oh and she can't wait
She's turning fifty she's turning fifty
She's turning fifty today

Eight Crazy Hours (In the Story Of Love)

Leslie Satcher - Darrell Scott

© Tree Pub, BMI

It was somethin' as simple as makin' the bed
That kicked off the voice inside her head
She was smoothin' the sheet with the palm of her hand
When the thought struck home I don't know who I am

And she sat cross-legged on the bedroom floor
And thought there's three people in this house that don't need me anymore
And she cried like a baby in a pile of dirty clothes

Oh should I be more care free should I be more sexy
Should I be more friend than mom
And the dryer was buzzin' and the TV was blarin'
And she wanted to call her mother

It was somethin' as simple as checkin' in to that cheap motel
Out on Highway 10 was it the sting of leavin' or usin' her maiden name
That took all of the fun out of runnin' away
And she cried like a baby in the tub of Room 5

Oh should I be more care free should I be more sexy
Should I be more friend than mom
And her head was buzzin' and the TV was blarin'
And she wanted to call her husband

It was somethin' as simple as pickin' up the kids
That her back to Earth again
She'd been to the dark side of the moon
She had to keep it to herself
So she grabbed Kentucky Fried Chicken for supper

Oh but she looked more care free and she looked more sexy
And she looked more friend than mom
And the table talk was buzzin' and the TV it was blarin'
And they all sat and laughed at each other

It was somethin' as simple as not givin' up
And eight crazy hours in the story of love

Nothing To Lose

Kim Fox

© Dennis Morgan Music, BMI

Well I'm sitting on the bus
Rolling down through Georgia
Don't know where I'm going
And I don't care what's new
I've got nothing to lose

Well I've had no sleep
Going on three days
Smoked my last cigarette
Somewhere near Atlanta
It's true I've got nothing to lose

Nothing to lose since I've lost you
Feeling all alone
Used to have it all and now my heart is gone
it's true I've got nothing to lose

Well we're coming up on Macon
Gonna rest here a spell
Making idle conversation
With a stranger without you
I've got nothing to lose

Nothing to lose since I've lost you...

Ooh nothing to lose
Ooh since I lost you

You left me with no worry
You left with no cares
And you took my whole life with you
And you left me standing there
it's true I've got nothing to lose

Nothing to lose since I've lost you...

Yes it's true I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing nothing left to lose
I've got nothing nothing left to lose
I've got nothing nothing left to lose
I've got nothing nothing left to lose

Over You

Michael Dulaney - Jason Sellers - Steven Jones

© Harmony Music, ASCAP

I always knew this day would come
World is just too small
To keep our paths from crossing
Here we are just look at us

I always wondered what I'd say
Would I tell you that life is great
I'm getting better all the time
Really lookin' up

Could I be too proud to show my heart
Well to tell the truth it's not that hard

I'm still not over you
Still the only thing I wanna do
Is open up my arms and reach for you
And to hear you say you want me too

You're the one for me
Time doesn't seem to disagree
Baby I'm still not
Over you getting over me
Guess I'll never be over you

So there it is I've said it now
God I wish some way somehow
You'd look at me start to cry
Say you missed me too

But you moved on I understand
Yeah I tried that too but here I am

I'm still not over you
Still the only thing I wanna do
Is open up my arms and reach for you
And to hear you say you want me too

You're the one for me...

Strong enough to finally set you free
I know love will never let me be
Over you

Maggie Creek Road

James Slater - Karyn Rochelle

© Tree Pub, BMI

Mama stood on the front porch ringin' her hands
Watched the tail lights fadin' on his black tranzam
With her precious little baby taking off inside
Staring at him with stars in her eyes
She tried to tell her but the girl might as well have been deaf
She wasn't gonna listen to a word she said

Don't go down Maggie Creek Road
With a boy lookin' like that
He'll tell ya thangs that you wanna hear
And they'll be no turnin' back
There's an oak tree down by the lake
In the shade where the wild flowers grow
What'll happen only heaven knows
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road

Was a still black night as dark is cold
Nobody heard her when she said no
She kicked and screamed and got free somehow
Tore her dress on the door when he pushed her out
She walked 13 miles on the gravel road
With tears in her eyes twenty years ago

Don't go down Maggie Creek Road...

Somehow mama's always know
Cause they shoulda been home an hour ago
When she pulled up it was just going down
She turned her headlights off didn't make a sound
She heard her baby crying no but he wouldn't stop
Her heart went cold and her blood ran hot
With a pistol in her hand she opened his door
You don't wanna see mama go to war

I'll Have What She's Having

Jimmy Melton - Georgia Middleman

© MCA Music, ASCAP

No I don't want no jack and coke
Please sit me where there ain't no smoke
Dont need nothin cloudin up my eyes
Well you see that girl over there
Dancin like shes on thin air
Theres got to be a secret to her smile

Well I think that I just found it
And hes twirlin her around
Well I'd like to place my order
You might wanna to write this down

I'll have what she's havin' I want what she's got
Someone sweet as he can be and by the way that hot
A tall order I suppose if you can find me one of those
I'll have what she's havin'

Well I like the way he looks at her
Its plain to see he knows the words
That makes her shine from forty feet away

If theres any justice in this world
He's got a twin who wants a girl
Who looks like me excuse me while I pray
So if you could slip my number in that pocket on his hip
It would be appreciated and reflected in your tip

I'll have what she's havin' I want what she's got...

A tall order I suppose if you can find me one of those
I'll have what she's havin'
Well I know its wrong to covet but why should she have all of it
I'll have what she's havin' oh I'll have what she's havin'
