All I Want Is A Life

Don Pfrimmer - Tony Mullins - Stan Munsey

© Royalhaven Music, BMI

I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the freeway
A little vacation ain't asking very much
I hate coming home to this old broken down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet
I don't want it all but I ain't got enough

All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life

I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from working
But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurting
Wanna give her that diamond I never got to buy
She keeps telling me that everything is getting better
But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder

Just wanna break even someday before I die

All I want is a life...

Oh all I want is a life...

All I want is a life all I want is a life

She Never Lets It Go To Her Heart

Chris Waters - Tom Shapiro

© Great Cumberland Music, BMI

Everywhere I go they're staring at her
Every man I know he wants to have her
I guess I ought to be a jealous man
I look the other way they're hitting on her
Every night and day they telephone her
They try and get to her but I know they can't

Cause she never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms she can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

She walks into the room and everybody watches every move
Hoping she don't love me I know it by the way they hang around
But they don't realize there's more to her
Than what meets the eye that's why I'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now

She never lets it go to her heart...
'Cause she never lets it go to her heart...
(Never lets it go to her heart)

She Can't Be Really Gone

Gary Burr

© MCA Music, ASCAP

Her hat is hanging by the door the one she bought in Mexico
It blocked the wind it stopped the rain
She'd never leave that one so she can't be really gone

The shoes she bought on Christmas Eve
She laughed and said they called her name
It's like they're waiting in the hall
For her to slip them on so she can't be really gone

I don't know when she'll come back she must intend to come back
And I've seen the error of my ways
Don't waste the tears on me what more proof do you need
Just look around the room so much of her remains

Her book is lying on the bed
The two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away at chapter 21
So she can't be really gone

Just look around this room so much of her remains
Her book is lying on the bed the two of hearts to mark her page
Now who could ever walk away with so much left undone
So she can't be really gone no she can't be really gone

Maybe We Should Just Sleep On It Tonight

Kerry Phillips - Jerry Leseter

© Texas Wedge Music, ASCAP

I got an empty feeling when that moving van pulled up
It got a whole lot emptier as I watched them fill that truck
And when they carried out your clothes
It took my breath away now they're headed for that bed
The thought keeps running through my head

Baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just don't feel right
So baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight

I'll pay them boys to stop right now and leave that truck out on the curb
The TV and the phone's packed up so we won't be disturbed
There's not a light left in this room just a shadow of a doubt
So let's make sure we don't give up before we've thought this through enough

Baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight...
Baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight...

I Didn't Ask And She Didn't Say

Tony Martin - Van Stephenson - Reese Wilson

© Baby Mae Music, BMI

Fogged in in Dallas on my way to LA
Staring up at the screen all flights were delayed
When a voice from behind me asked
Stranger how have you been

Well I was caught off guard when I saw her face
Stumbled my way through an awkward embrace
Then somehow I managed to say good to see you again

We caught up on old friends caught up on old times
But all through the small talk it kept burning through my mind

Does she think about the nights we spent on Crystal Lake
Wrapped up in a blanket till the break of day
So many times I've wondered does she think of me that way
I didn't ask and she didn't say

Trading stories and pictures of kids
Things we're gonna do and things we never did
Till stranded in that moment not sure what to say

Then she broke the silence with her little shy smile
She brought up the weather but all the while

I wondered if she thinks about Jackson Hole
Nights beside the fire and angels in the snow
So many times I've wondered does she think of me that way
I didn't ask and she didn't say

We said our goodbyes swore we'd stay in touch
Then we went our separate ways knowing no one ever does

But I couldn't help but wonder as I walked away
If things had turned out different where would we be today
So many times I've wondered does she think of me that way
I didn't ask and she didn't say
No I didn't ask and she didn't say

Renegade

Steve Bogard - Jeff Stevens

© Rancho Belita Music, BMI

Baby I go too fast too far
Let's get it straight now the way things are
I'm not the white knight in your fantasy
But I could be your wildest dream

I might ride with the wind I might follow the sun
I gotta go where I've never been
Cause my heart beats to a different drum
It's just the way I was made I'm a renegade I'm a renegade

I get this feeling that I should be gone
Something keeps telling me to take you along
I got a Chevy with a big back seat
Climb on in and take a chance on me

I might ride with the wind I might follow the sun...

Do not even think about settling down
Ain't gonna hang my hat in no hometown

I might ride with the wind I might follow the sun...
I'm a renegade I'm a renegade

I Like It I Love It

Steve Dukes - Mark Hall - Jeb Anderson - Tim McGraw

© Texas Wedge Music, ASCAP

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair
I threw out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear
She's got me saying sugar pie honey darling and dear
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year
I'm gonna get fired if I don't get some sleep
My long lost buddies say I'm getting in too deep

But I like it I love it I want some more of it
I try so hard I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is bout that little gal's loving
But I like it I love it I want some more of it

My Mama and Daddy tried to teach me courtesy
But it never sank in till that girl got a hold of me
Now I'm holding umbrellas and opening up doors
I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweeping my floors
I'm crossing my fingers and counting every kiss
Praying that it keeps going on like this

Cause I like it I love it I want some more of it...

Gotta wash my truck and dress up to pick her up to watch TV
And she sits down on the sofa she'll move a little closer
She can't get enough of me

Yeah I like it I love it I want some more of it...

Come on baby you know what I like
Yeah I like that mm mm mm
Hey don't forget to turn out the lights

The Great Divide

Brett Beavers

© Homesick Cowboy Music, BMI

She was reading a book that she'd already read just to pass the time
He just sat there and stared at the TV set like he was barely alive
And when the local news was over they would climb the stairs
And crawl in bed underneath the covers like neither one was there

And it's a long long way across the great divide
The songs that they once sang now echo far and wide
They could still get back all the love that they have lost
But only if they both will reach across
Cause it's a long long way to the other side
Of the great divide

He was up in the attic on the fourth of July
'Cause they flew a flag in the yard
When he found some old roses she had long ago dried
Before they drifted apart
And how the years had slipped right by them he didn't understand
He carried a petal into the kitchen and he placed it in her hand

And it's a long long way across the great divide...

You Got The Wrong Man

Wayne Perry - Joe Barnhill

© Suzi Bob Music, ASCAP

Your eyes say that you've been hurt before
And you can't take the heartache anymore
You think I'll do what he's done to you
Break your trust and be untrue
But baby this is me you're talking to

You got the wrong man it's not me
A case of mistaken identity
I didn't break your heart you see
What can I do to make you understand
You got the wrong man

I know you think that love will never last
And you see your future like the past
You don't wanna make the same mistake
You think that I'm one more to make
But baby I'm not him for goodness sake

You got the wrong man it's not me...

You think I'll do what he's done to you
Break your trust and be untrue
But baby this is me you're talking to

You got the wrong man it's not me...
It's not me no oh oh you got the wrong man

Don't Mention Memphis

Bill LaBounty - Randy Bishop

© Hidden Planet Music, BMI

Mister you can take me into Little Rock
I'll buy the coffee and I'll fill your truck
I'll listen all night if you want to talk
Just don't mention Memphis

And we can talk about your family
Politics and music and philosophy
Any old subject's alright with me
Just don't mention Memphis

Or blue eyes and light brown hair
An angel waving to me from the top of the stairs
The hardest thing I did was leave her standing there
So don't mention Memphis

Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup
We'll make Texas with a little luck
And I'm hanging with you 'til the sun comes up
So don't mention Memphis

Or blue eyes and light brown hair...

I don't wanna talk about Memphis
And the hardest thing I did was leave my baby there
So don't mention Memphis
I don't wanna talk about Memphis

When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)

Tommy Barnes

© Taguchi Music, ASCAP

With a trembling pen in hand, I try the best I can
To write all the reasons I can't stay
And I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man
Cause a man would never leave her this way

A note of things I should have said
Lays beside her sleeping head
As I turn and make my way off in the night
By the time the morning is breaking
My heart will still be aching
Every time I think of what I've left behind

Cause I don't wanna see me leaving in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
So I don't want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

It hurts to know how much she'll hurt
I've told myself things could be worse
And I've convinced myself she's better off this way
By the time she finds I'm gone
I'll be a long long way from home
When she reads a note of things I couldn't say

Cause I don't wanna see me leaving in her eyes...

Lord I don't wanna be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

That's Just Me

Deryl Dodd

© BMG Songs, ASCAP

Well I was southern-born and raised on the good book
My old boots are worn from the hard roads I took
And I'm proud to be my daddy's son
And mama taught me how to work and not to quit until the job's done

Well I may not be high society
But I got all I need

And that's just me the only way I know to be
That's just me what you get is what you see
Well they tell me I'm old fashioned and that I'm part of a dying breed
I'd say I'm living in real good company but that's just me

Well I got me a wife and we're bringing up a young one
Well she's a backwoods woman and my boy he's a top gun
We live out in the country where we're free to roam
And when a hard day is over how I love just going home

Well it's the life I live and the air I breathe
The way I believe

And that's just me the only way I know to be...

Well they tell me I'm old fashioned
And that I'm part of a dying breed
I'd say I am living in real good company
But that's just me yeah that's just me
