Whiskey If You Were A Woman

Bob Morrison - Johnny McRae - Mary Francis

© Music City Music, ASCAP

He's told me a million times he's sorry
I always take him back though soon I know
He'll spend the night with you and leave me crying
You don't love him but you won't let him go

Oh whiskey if you were a woman
I'd fight you and I'd win Lord knows I would
Oh whiskey if you were a woman
I'd drive you from his tangled mind for good
[ instrumental ]
No matter what you'd do I'd do it better
You'd never be the woman I could be
But you don't have a heart or any feelings
So I can't even ask for sympathy

Oh whiskey if you were a woman...

Oh whiskey if you were a woman
I'd drive you from his tangled mind for good

Bridge Across Forever

Matraca Berg - Ronnie Samoset

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Well I'm sorry if I question your intentions
It's just that honesty is awfully hard to find
I might end up an honorable mention
Then again I might end up with first prize

I ain't looking for a knight in shining armor
I don't believe that much in fairytales these days
You don't have to ride me off into the sunset
I'm woman enough to get there my own way

Oh I don't need me another Saviour
A long time ago I saw the light
All I need is a bridge across forever
Uh huh and someone to meet me on the other side
[ instrumental ]
Well it's a long hard fall from being lonely
But if you don't look down you won't be afraid
Just look into my eyes and then you'll realize
That I'll be there to meet you half the way

Oh I don't need me another Saviour
A long long time ago I saw the light
All I need is a bridge across forever
Uh huh and someone to meet me on the other side
Someone to meet me on the other side

Somewhere Tonight

Harlan Howard - Rodney Crowell

© Tree Publishing, BMI / Coolewell Music, ASCAP

Somewhere tonight he's a live wire
He's got his sights on someone new
Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer
And I'm so lonesome I don't know what to do

I bet he's out there shinin' like a diamond don't you know
Turnin' heads and breakin' hearts and puttin' on a show
Rollin' like a summer storm driftin' with the wind
And I just wish he'd blow my way again

Somewhere tonight he's a live wire...
[ instrumental ]
I've read that goodbye letter at least a thousand times
He said I was the only one who almost changed his mind
But better homes and garden parties weren't his cup of tea
Somewhere tonight he's running wild and free

Somewhere tonight he's a live wire...
And I'm so lonesome I don't know what to do

Woman Walk The Line

Paul Kennerley - Emmylou Harris

© Irving Music, BMI

Don't bother sittin' at my table
Just because I'm on my own
Yes I'm a woman and I'm lonely
But that don't mean I can't be strong

Once again he's not beside me
And tonight he won't be coming home
So I need a place to miss my baby
When he goes out to do me wrong

Tonight I wanna do some drinking
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinking
But I don't wanna hold your hand

And I know I'm looking lonely
But there's nothing here I wanna find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line

Every night's a little longer
Than the one that came before
But when I hear 'em sing a sad song
I know just what I'm crying for

I don't wanna stay home waiting
Don't have to wonder where he's been
He'll be someone else's baby
Before he's in my arms again

Tonight I wanna do some drinking...
And I know I'm looking lonely...

It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line

Good Goodbye

Bob DiPiero - Pat McManus - Paulette Carlson

© Tree Pub, BMI

It was more than I could do to try to get it through that I needed his affection
He'd just sit around at home with his buddies on the phone and we never made connection
Now I'm gonna take a break from all this shake and bake someone else can take it over
There ain't no better time for startin' over

This is a good goodbye
I ain't feelin' guilty cause I done the right thing
It's a good goodbye
I got my radio on and I'm startin' to sing
I'm drivin' this car just as fast as I can
Runnin' with the wind startin' over again
I ain't thinkin' twice bout that no account man
It's a good good good goodbye
[ instrumental ]
Somewhere between the news and Sunday sports reviews he'll find that I am missin'
And he'll think that I have gone to Marge's hair salon but this time I'm goin' fishin'
And somewhere in the night when I don't turn out the light he's gonna see the truth
He's gonna know that we are through

This is a good goodbye...
[ instrumental ]
This is a good goodbye...
It's a good good good goodbye

Cry Cry Cry

Don Devaney - John S. Sherrill

© Combine Music, BMI

It's just a little creek now but when the rain comes down
It's gonna be a ragin' river I just heard my baby say goodbye
He left me here holdin' back my tears now he's gone forever
The dam's gonna break and I'm a gonna cry cry cry

I'm a gonna cry and I don't care who sees
I wonder if he knows what he's done to me
I'm gonna love that boy till the day I die
Till the day I do I'm gonna cry cry cry
[ instrumental ]
Now he's gone the pain's comin' on I can feel my whole body shaking
Looky here now what's this in my eyes
All I hear ringing in my ear is the sound of my heart breaking
Till the day I'm breaking I'm gonna cry cry cry

I'm a gonna cry and I don't care who sees...
I'm a gonna cry and I don't care who sees...
Till the day I do I'm gonna cry cry cry

Are You Still Mine

Paulette Carlson

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Darlin' what did you say when you were alone
All week long you've been actin' strange talkin' to her on the phone
Has she gotten through to you got you believin' I'm no good
What did she say or do to make you act so cruel

Tell me according to her do I cheat do I lie
And do you believe her even some of the time
And the love you've given to me is it still mine to keep
Or has she taken that too along with your sanity

My darlin' don't you still love me
Or have all the words she said changed your mind
Have you been so misled has she gotten you in her bed
Oh my darlin' are you still mine
[ instrumental ]
Tell me what will we do when she's had her fun
When she's stollen our love away and it's gone like a thief on the run
And when it's too far gone to ever get it back
What will you say or do to ease the loss we've had

My darlin' don't you still love me...
Oh my darlin' are you still mine

One Step Closer

Cactus Moser - Curtis Stone

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

See him in the corner looking so right
It's Friday night and he's turnin' every head in sight
Stayin' in the shadows I've seen his type before
He's playin' in safe never sits with his back to the door
My heart is beating and I'm losing control

And I'm one step closer than I really should be
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes
[ instrumental ]
This indecision weighin' on my mind
I'm givin' it up guess I knew I would all the time
I'm walkin' over gonna see it through
I'm settin' my sights takin' my aim on you
This may be crazy but what else can I do

I'm one step closer than I really should be...
[ instrumental ]
This may be crazy but what else can I do

I'm one step closer than I really should be...
I'm one step closer than I really should be...
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes

Someone Believed

Johnny Pierce - Paul Solomon - Joanne Christy

© Pierce Music, ASCAP

She lives on a farm in southern Oklahoma
She's never been far away from home
Her mom and her daddy worked all of their lives
To make their little girl a home

She hides out in the woods with her movie magazines
Her mama says God frowns on those kind of things
And she stares out her windows in a far away dream
Far from the wheat fields of home

And the seasons keep passin' along
You'll know when it's time to leave
There's a new star on the screen tonight
Only cause she believed

He was born in the heart of a cold eastern city
Growin' up with the sound of cars and machines
A doctor a lawyer or a great politician
His family hopes that's what he'll be

But he's got pictures of cattle drives out in Wyoming
Riders on horsebacks and rodeo scenes
And he knows all he needs is to buy an old pickup
And drive west till he finds his dream

And the seasons keep passin' along
You'll know when it's time to leave
Another cowboy rides the range tonight
Only cause he believed

Someone somewhere sittin' all alone could be any boy or girl
Waiting for their time to come with a dream to change the world

And the seasons keep passin' along
You'll know when its time to leave
There's a dream comin' true tonight
Only cause someone believed

The Bed You Made For Me

Paulette Carlson

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Darlin' were you listenin' when I called you late last night
Or did the sleep get in your eyes did it bind me from your sight
Or was she lyin' with you was it hard for you to speak
And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me

And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me
Did she like my satin sheets and did you sing her to sleep
And my pillow that she slept on did it bring her sweet dreams
Did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me

The pillow that you made for me it was softer than the down
And the headboard came from an old house that was bound to be torn down
And the songs you always sang to me oh as I fall asleep
Do they sound the same to her in the bed you made for me

And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me...
[ instrumental ]
Now you can take my old pillow and throw it out the door
You can buy another bed you can find another headboard
Cause I ain't gonna lie beneath those satin sheets she tore
The bed you made for me it isn't mine anymore

And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me...
