I Would Fly

Tracy Newman

© Sosaha Music, BMI

If I fail to please you
Please don't hold it against me I was trying

And if I fail to win you
Let's just say it wasn't in you
To love me the way that I love you

I would fly to your side if you called on me
That's the kind that I am
Pride be damned take all of me

And if I fail to keep you
Guess my love was so deep you just couldn't see it

And if I fail to hook you
Let's just say that it took you
Forever to notice I was there

I would fly to your side if you called on me
That's the kind that I am
Pride be damned take all of me

I would fly to your side if you called on me
That's the kind that I am
Pride be damned take all of me

After The Lovin'

Alan Bernstein - Ritchie Adams - Richard Zigler

© Silver Blue Music, ASCAP

So I sing you to sleep after the lovin'
With a song I just wrote yesterday
And I hope you can hear
What the words and the music have to say

It's so hard to explain everything that I'm feelin'
Face to face I just seem to go dry
As I love you so much
That the sound of your voice can get me high

Thanks for taking me
On a one way trip to the sun
And thanks for turning me
Into a someone

Oh I sing you to sleep after the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me wanna cry

And I know that my song isn't saying anything new
Oh but after the lovin' I'm still in love with you

I sing you to sleep after the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And the love on your face
Is so real that it makes me wanna cry

And I know that my song isn't saying anything new
Oh but after the lovin' I'm still in love with you
Yes after the lovin' I'm still in love with you
After the lovin' I'm still in love with you

I'll Never Be Free

George Weiss - Bennie Benjamin

© Laurel Music, ASCAP

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms grow cold thinking for you
No one can take your place darling
In my embrace I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss put up the fire
Though I may try and try
No one can satisfy this longing in me

I'll never be free from your smile
So tender the sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember
How you could thrill me with a sigh

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remain when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you made me a slave to you
I'll never be free I'll never be free

I'll never be free I'll never be free
I'll never be free

Texas Cowboy Night

Mel Tillis - Buddy Cannon - Raleigh Squires

© Mel Tillis Music, BMI

Well there's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
Nothin' can compare to it no matter how you try
Nevada never closes New York City's got bright lights
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night

Everybody's goin' San Antonio on a Saturday night
River walkin' talkin' western swingin' singin'
Songs of love and yellow roses
There's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night

It's honky tonkin' heaven underneath that lone star sky
You can lose your blues in Mexico with their women and their wine
Cause it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night

Well there's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
Nothing can compare to it no matter how you try
Colorado's mighty friendly with your Rocky Mountain high
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night

When the sun goes down it's time to paint the town
That's when you hear those fiddles play

From Dallas to Del Rio and up to Amarillo they'll be dancin' in the streets
Loud and rowdy howdy howdy haughty Lawdy
How I wish that I could be in Abilene
There's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night

Nothing can compare to it no matter how you try
Nevada never closes New York City's got bright lights
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night
But it's nothing quite like Texas on a Saturday night

Cowboy Carry Me Home

Sid Wayne - Roger Howell

© Sabal Music, ASCAP

Hey I was playing guitar in a west Texas bar
The first time I saw her walk in
She lit up the room like an orchid in bloom
While she was dancing with him

As I strummed on the string I had visions of things
Like loving the whole night away
Lord I wanted her so I just let my mind go
And I imagined that I heard her say

And she said cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I'm all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home

Yeah night after night in that smokey dim light
I was aching to see her once more
Every song that I played was her own serenade
Of a heart of this poor troubadour

Then I looked up one night to a beautiful sight
And there was my dream come true
I was playing my best taking every request
And she said darling I've got one for you

And she said cowboy carry me home
It's a long night and I'm all alone
We'll turn out the lights and unplug the phone
You can sing to me cling to me cowboy carry me home

Cowboy carry me home...
Cowboy carry me home...
