Big Time

Larry Boone - Paul Nelson - Kenny Beard

© Tree Pub, BMI

Get ready baby we're goin' uptown
It's friday night we're gonna get down
I thought you might like this brand new baby blue dress
I figured out about a quarter till ten
We'll be partied out and headin' in
You and me alone darlin' doing what we do best

Big time we're gonna have one big time we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin' rendezvous
Cause I'm in love with you
Big time

A little music a sip of champagne
By candlelight just doin' our thing
Let the crowd wonder what in the world happened to us
Well they can boogie woogie all night long
Let 'em dance until the cows come home
For what we want this old honky tonk ain't enough

Big time we're gonna have one big time we're gonna grab some...
[ instrumental ]
Girl I'm talkin' about a big time we're gonna have one...

Took Her To The Moon

Mark Nesler - Byron Hill

© Music Of Evercountry, BMI

I'm not sure what I did just yet
But somethin' kicked in on the night we met
Look's like her hearts out of control
What she's gonna do next I don't know

She's already dreaming about a house on the hill
How does she think we're gonna pay those bills
When all I can afford is a two room shack
I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

Now where did my fishing magazines go
Everywhere I look there's another Cosmo
Flowers in the kitchen and a new bedspread
Now you tell me was it somethin' I said

Even old blue's taking it rough
She clipped his nails and powdered him up
Her mind's running on a one way track
I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

Where's that girl that I used to know
The one who said we'd better take it slow
What on earth do I do now to put her feet back on the ground

She goes to the mall but she never says why
She brings home things that a man won't buy
I've already told her enough's enough
Now what are we gonna do with all this stuff

She bought a bunch of soap that she won't let me use
A toilet seat cover and hand towels too
The kind you don't touch just leave 'em on the rack
I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

Where's that girl that I used to know...

She's already dreaming about a house on the hill...
Lord I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

The Rest Of Mine

Kenny Beard - Trace Adkins

© WB Music, ASCAP

There's no guarantee that we'll see tomorrow
Heaven only knows how long we have
So there's no way I'll ever for one second let you wonder
Just how long my love for you will last

Till my last breath till I'm called on high
Till the angels come and I see the light
To the very end ill I give in to the last beat of my heart
No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine
[ instrumental ]
Till my last breath till I'm called on high...

No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine

Snowball In El Paso

Trey Bruce - Trace Adkins

© WB Music, ASCAP

She left her boots she wears in the rain she left her lady razor
She left a note that I can't explain on the refrigerator
She left a book she's been readin' for days
Beside her chest of drawers
She left her nightgown hanging behind the bathroom door
But she left me no choice as far as I can tell
When it comes to gettin' over her she didn't leave me a chance in hell

Like a snowball in El Paso like a feather in the wind
Without a prayer I'll ever find someone like her again
A fast train is coming and my heart's a penny on the rail
No she didn't leave me a chance in hell

She left me wondering what I'm gonna do with all these pieces left of me
She left her scent all over the room so even in the dark I'd see
Tha she left a thirsty man with no water in the well
And without a single storm cloud overhead she didn't leave me a chance in hell

Like a snowball in El Paso...
[ instrumental ]
A fast train is coming and my heart's a penny on the rail
No she didn't leave me a chance in hell
No she didn't leave me a chance in hell

See Jane Run

Tim Nichols - Porter Howell

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Dick and Jane don't talk anymore
Jane lays awake wishin' it could be like it was before
Finally one night she got tough
Dick came home and she was packin' her stuff

See Jane run see Dick cry
He's standin' in the street with his hands in the air goin' why Jane why
But she don't look back she's seen enough
Close the book the story's done see Jane run

Dick's tore up deep down inside
Jane feels good there ain't a tear in her pretty blue eyes
Red taillights fade out of sight
Spot's in the back he's just along for the ride

See Jane run see Dick cry...
[ instrumental ]
Yeah see Jane run see Dick cry...

Yeah close the book the story's done see Jane run
Oh see Jane run see Jane run

Twenty-Four Seven

J.B. Rudd - Carl Jackson

© Blackwood Music, BMI

I've got this craving around the clock and it's got a hold on me
I've had it bad since the moment we met I can't get no relief
You're the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time

Twenty-four seven you're the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl every day seven long days a week
I'm in heaven (heaven) twenty-four seven
[ instrumental ]
Every night when I go to sleep in my dreams there you are
You're the first thing I think about and that's how the morning starts
It seems like everything I say and do
Is all about me being in love with you

Twenty-four seven you're the only thing...
[ instrumental ]
You're the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time

Twenty-four seven you're the only thing...

I'm in heaven twenty-four seven
Twenty-four hours girl every day seven long days a week
I'm in heaven heaven twenty-four seven twenty-four seven girl

Hold You Now

Bob DiPiero - Porter Howell

© Tree Pub, BMI

I can't take back the things I said to you in the past
Or make you forget the reasons why we didn't last
I'm haunted by what might have been
Still I can't change who I was back then

But if I could hold you now you'd see I've turned myself around
And now I'm someone you'd be proud to love
I'd do all the right things make promises that I'd keep
It'd hurt too much to let you down
And in my arms there'd be no room for doubt
If I could hold you now

It's funny how this empty room makes it all too clear
When I let you leave a part of me just disappeared
But if I'd known then what I've come to know
There's no way I could have let you go

But if I could hold you now...
[ instrumental ]
But if I'd known then what I've come to know
There's no way I could have let you go

But if I could hold you now...

If I could hold you now if I could hold you now
Oh I just want to hold you right now

Nothin' But Taillights

Bob DiPiero - Gerry House - Devon O'Day

© Tree Pub, BMI

She used to sit in the passenger seat tappin' on the dash with her bare feet
Poppin' that gum and paintin' her toenails blue
She'd turn on the radio and crank it up that girl could never get it loud enough
She'd make up words to songs she thought she knew

Yeah Saturday nights we'd lead the parade of tricked out Fords and Chevrolets
We'd cruise through town and head down to the lake
Well I was hangin' with the boys a little bit later talkin' bout tires and carburetors
When I happened to see my whole world drive away

Now I've got nothin' but taillights nothin' but goodbye
Nothin' but leaving going on
And I'm nothin' but sorry got nothin' but mem'ries
She's nothin' but taillights gone

I ain't sayin' she stole that car but that was May and this is March
And all I get are tickets in the mail
She was doin' eighty-five in Tennessee clocked in Kansas doin' ninety-three
I just hope she lets me post her bail

I've got nothin' but taillights...
[ instrumental ]
I've got nothin' but taillights...
Lord she's nothin' but taillights gone

Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone

Mary Danna - Jody Sweet

© Ensign Music, BMI

I can't see you but I can feel like a scar that just won't heal
Blue eyed gypsy you're still with me everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone you're everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone

Another highway one more town I try to lose you but you track me down
Like the moonlight on a dark night down every winding road
Lonely won't leave me alone
Down every winding road lonely won't leave me alone

I know you told me our love's dead and gone
But here in my heart it lives on and on

You're every sad song all night long on my radio
Lonely won't leave me alone lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely

Out Of My Dreams

Doug Nichols - Steven Jones

© Lehsem Music, ASCAP

Last night you were here again third time this week
You always slip in when I'm asleep
I thought those old feelings would be long gone by now
Why in the world do you bother to come back around

You're out of my arms you're out of my life
Out of every thought that I let cross my mind
You're out of my hopes that it might be you
Every time the telephone rings
But will I ever get you out of my dreams

There we were making wishes on evening stars
Promises sealed with kisses straight from our hearts
But then I woke up to reality again
Even the sweetest dreams come to an end

You're out of my arms...
But will I ever get you out of my dreams

The Wayfaring Stranger

Frankie Laine - Bernard Green

© Leeds Music, ASCAP

I am a poor wayfaring stranger traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness no toil or danger in that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home yes Lord
[ instrumental ]
I know dark clouds will gather around me I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me where God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my mother she said she'd meet me when I'm gone
I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home
[ instrumental ]
Oh somebody show me te way home
