Do What You Do

Angelo Petraglia - Georgia Middleman

© Green Wagon Music, ASCAP

Slow down that's right give it all you got yeah
You got the right stuff kick back let go
Trust yourself you know yeah what you got is good enough

Hey don't give 'em what they think they want cause they don't have a clue
Yeah if you really wanna give 'em something different
Something to sink their teeth into
Well baby then you just do what you do

All eyes were on Alice they laughed and made her cry
Yeah she was a little different
But hey you know what she found a way to fly
You see Alice she got her strength from the inside

Hey don't give 'em what they think they want...

The cost of living just went up today
As soon as you started doing things your way
You'll be shakin' 'em off your coattails from every side
They'll be trying to catch that free ride

Hey don't give 'em what they think they want...
Do what you do yeah do what you do
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Anything's Better Than Feelin' The Blues

Matraca Berg - Randy Scruggs

© Mighty World Music, BMI

I sent myself a dozen roses right before the office closes
Just to make my girlfriends green with envy
Ever since I lost you all the crazy things I do
I didn't even know I had it in me
Oh but hey it's all right it's just another Saturday night
Got nobody got no nothin' to lose
I'm gonna get dressed up and go downtown spread a little misery around
Anything's better than feelin' the blues

Found a restaurant on my way I told 'em it was my birthday
Just to hear the waiters sing off key
I've sprung a loose wire that's a fact got a strange little monkey on my back
But I kinda like the company
And I guess hey it's all right it's just another Saturday night
Got nobody got no nothin' to lose

ey it's all right it's just another Saturday night
Got nobody got no nothin' to lose lose
I'm gonna get dressed up and go down town live it up and never live it down
Anything's better than feelin' the blues
Anything's better than feelin' the blues

Make Me Believe

James LeBlanc - Don Srygley

© House Of Fame, ASCAP

I'm still waiting
Tell me you love me and make me feel it convince me that your heart is true
Don't say you need me if you really don't mean it cause boy I ain't nobody's fool yeah
Baby I'm tryin' to find a place inside your heart
Oh but it's hard to start a fire without a spark
If you wanna be the man that rocks me to my knees baby just make me believe

Cause I'm still waiting
Every night I bring you all my broken pieces but you just put them on your shelf
Tell me why you put this wall between us and keep your reasons to yourself
Ah baby I'm tryin' to find a place inside your heart...

Ah you say you feel the same but my heart's full of doubt
You say you'll find the time so we can work it out

But I'm still waiting
Baby I'm tryin' to find a place inside your heart...
Oh baby I'm tryin' to find a place inside your heart...
Baby just make me believe oh baby just make me believe
I'm still waiting

Love's The Only House

Buzz Cason - Tom Douglas

© Buzz Cason Pub, ASCAP

I was standing in the grocery store line the one they marked express
When this woman came through with about 25 things
And I said don't you know that more is less
She said this world is movin' so fast I just get more behind with every day
And every mornin' when I make my coffee
I can't believe my life's turned out this way
All I could say was love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain
He was walkin' by the other day and I said hey baby how you been
Yeah I got me a little girl now and she's four years old
And she's got her daddy's little grin
And you only wanted what you can't have and baby you can't have me now
I gave me heart to another
Yeah I'm a mother and he's a father we're a family and we got each other
And I found out the hard way
That love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

You drive three miles from all this prosperity
Down across the river and you see a ghetto there
And we got children walking around with guns
And they got knives and drugs and pain to spare
And here I am in my clean white shirt
With a little money in my pocket and a nice warm home
And we got teenagers walkin' around in a culture of darkness livin' together alone
All I can say is love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain

And I can't explain it and I can't understand
But I'll come down and get my hands dirty and together we'll make a stand
Somewhere cross the parking lot some bands playin' out of tune
City streets are gonna burn if we don't do something soon
And senorita can't quit cryin' baby's due now any day
Don Juan left got sick of tryin' no one there to show him the way
She came down to the grocery store and she said I
I wanna buy a little carton of milk but I don't have any money
I said hey I'll cover you honey cause the pain's gotta go somewhere
Yeah the pain's gotta go someplace so come on down to my house
Don't you know that love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world
Love's the only house big enough for all the pain
Don't you know that love's the only house yeah yeah yeah

There You Are

Bob DiPiero - Ed Hill - Mark D. Sanders

© Tree Pub, BMI

There you are in the early light of day there you are in the quiet words I pray
I've been blessed by the simple happiness of the perfect love we've made
Every time I turn around when I'm lost and when I'm found
Like an angel standing guard there you are

Every time I take a breath and when I forget to breathe
You're watching over me there you are
When I'm looking for the light in the middle of the night
Searching for the brightest star there you are

There you are standing in a crowded room there you are the earth and 'm the moon
My desire is to stand by the fire that burns inside of you

Every time I turn around...

It's My Time

Tammy Hyler - Billy Crain - Kim Tribble

© Tree Pub, BMI

Red sun sittin' on the road behind her a hundred miles out of her hometown
Drops a quarter in a beat up pay phone listens to it rattle on down
Voices cold as the phone she's holding the connects way too clear
He's yellin' where's my dinner she's too far gone to care she says listen here

There's a time to stand and the time is now or never
A time to fly a time to let go forever a time to grow and a time to discover
Life is precious every second you've wasted mine and it's my time

She puts a few more miles between them he pours a distance of his own
Starts talking to the bottle it's all that left now she's gone
He rages on till the National Anthem comes on his TV
Then he looks straight at the bottle and says you did this to me and then he screams

There's a time to stand...

It's my time it's my time it's my time and the time is what you make it
It's my time it's my time it's my time and time is what you're taking

There's a time to stand...

I Ain't Goin' Nowhere

Mark D. Sanders - Tia Sellers

© Soda Creek Songs, ASCAP

When the world is on your shoulders just too much to bear
Boy my love can make you stronger I ain't goin' nowhere
When you're followin' all the rules but life just will not play fair
Come to me and we'll roll with the punches I ain't goin' nowhere

By your side by your side day and night I will be always
There's a place in my heart in my heart just for you always
I ain't goin' nowhere I ain't goin' nowhere

I can't guarantee that your dreams won't fade into thin air
But as sure as I'm livin' breathin' I ain't goin' nowhere

By your side by your side...

But straight to you no one else will do
My love will shine right through your rain I will lift you up I will lift you up
I ain't goin' nowhere I ain't goin' nowhere I ain't goin' nowhere
I ain't goin' nowhere yeah

What do you dream about look at the stars honey
All you gotta do is pick one out and it's there for you
I'll be the one who makes your every dream come true

The sky's the limit and my heart is in it

Where do you want to go look at the world baby all you gotta do is just say so
And I'll take you there oh yeah you know that love can take you anywhere

Close your eyes and baby...

I could spoil you make it easy make you happy if you let me won't you let me

From The Ashes

Hillary Lindsey - Austin Cunningham

© Famous Music, ASCAP

My right hand holds matches my left holds my past
I hope the wind catches and burns it down fast
I'm gonna step into the fire with my failures and my shame
And wave goodbye to yesterday as I dance among the flames

So don't try to save me now let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait till the smoke finally passes and I will rise from the ashes
From the ashes from the ashes

For all that I'm losing much more will I gain
The hard part is choosing to change what needs changed
My step will be much lighter with these demons off my chest
I'm born a better spirit and lay the old to rest

So don't try to save me now...

And I'll walk away stronger I will be flyin' higher and truer than I've flown before
My right hand holds matches my left holds my past
I hope the wind catches and burns it down fast

Goodbye

Patty Griffin

© Chrome Dog Music, ASCAP

Occurred to me the other day you been gone now a couple years
Well I guess it takes a while for someone to really disappear
And I remember where I was when the word came about you
It was a day much like today the sky was bright and wide and blue

And I wonder where you are and if the pains ends when you die
And I wonder if there was some better way to say goodbye

Today my heart is big and sore it's tryin' to push right through my skin
Won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinkin' in
Cause you can't make somebody see with the simple words you say
All their beauty from within sometimes they just look away

And I wonder where you are...
Some better way to say goodbye oh oh oh oh

This Uncivil War

Gretchen Peters

© Purple Crayon Music, ASCAP

There's a silence on the front lines you can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your chances or you can run to save your life
And one side is retreating and the other's running scared
And the drums of war are beating even though it's undeclared
And both sides say they're winning and both sides know they're losing
And neither one knows what they're fightin' for
And in the quiet little places you can see the little faces
Huddled right outside the bedroom door praying for an end to this uncivil war

Papa needs a new job so he's swallowin' his pride
Oh but it don't go down easy and it eats him up inside
And mama she don't notice little sister's ragged dress
Lately she don't notice much of anything I guess
They're just fightin' off the hunger tryin' to keep from goin' under
But the wolves just keep on gatherin' round the door
There's no place to run for cover so they're turning on each other
Cause there really ain't no winners anymore just victims in this uncivil war

There's a silence on the front lines you can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your chances or you can run to save your life

For The Love Of A Woman

Tyler Casstleton - Staci Peters

© Starstruck Angel Music, ASCAP

For the love of a woman a man unlocks his heart and reveals all the secrets it holds
And the love of a woman will find his better part when he gives her the key to his soul
He will listen to her dreams he will ask her what she needs
He will help her build the life she wants to live
He will hold her when she cries with a love that never dies
All these things he will give for the love of a woman

For the love of a woman a man will sacrifice while he waits for a moment of grace
With the love of a woman a man will pay the price
For the trust that he sees in her face
He will open any door leave the life he knew before
To convince her that he's all she'll ever need
And when he's afraid to start he will step into the dark
Cause he knows she'll give his eyes the power to see with the love of a woman

And he promises to help her dreams come true
No there's nothing in thid world that he won't do
Though he's not a work of art he will try with all his heart
To become the man she knows that he can be with the love of a woman
For the love of a woman he will give his love for the love of a woman
