How Gone Is Goodbye

Bob DiPiero - Jan Buckingham - Pam Tillis

© Duck House Music, BMI

Baby I've got this sinkin' feeling I've done something I can't undo
I could kick myself from Tennessee to Texas
If I just lost the love I found with you
So tell me I just gotta know how too far did I go

How gone is goodbye
Is that last bridge burnin' is that point of no returnin'
What I'm seeing in your eyes how gone how gone is goodbye

Well I'm afraid that I already know the answer
Oh just this once I'd sure like to be wrong
And I could wake up in your arms tomorrow morning
And live without this deep regret down in my bones
Have I pushed you to the limit what's your plan and am I in it

How gone is goodbye...
[ instrumental ]
Tell me I've just gotta know how too far did I go

And how gone is goodbye...

How gone is goodbye have you drawn the final curtain
Come on baby are you certain we can't give it one more try
How gone how gone is goodbye

Shake The Sugar Tree

Chapin Hartford

© Tree Pub, BMI

Love you're gettin' lazy you're forgettin' to give me
Sweet sugar words that I wanna hear
You've been neglectin' me you know jealousy
It is bitter as a green spring berry
And just like fruit from a fickle vine
You turn sweet in the nick of time
Love you only come alive when you're losing me
And it's a childish game I got to shake you up
Just to wake you up to make you love me

I'll shake the sugar tree till I feel your love falling all around me
You gotta tell me what you planted and if you take my love for granted
Baby I'll shake the sugar tree

Another night and you're sleepin' I'm awake and I'm dreamin'
Oh honey bout the way that it used to be
A little time's gone by and do you think that I'm
Content with a cookin' and a payin' the rent
Now I wanna know if your love's all spent

I'll shake the sugar tree till I feel your love falling all around me...

Ah I've got to raise some commotion
Before you show me some real emotion

I'll shake the sugar tree till I feel your love falling all around me...

Do You Know Where Your Man Is

Dave Gibson - Raymond Smith - Carol Chase

© Tree Pub, BMI

Night is fallin' on this honky tonk city
Country music spillin' out on the street
Well it sure can sound good to a hard working man
At the end of a hard working week

Did you kiss him when he left this morning
And does he know that he's needed at home
Well if you don't feel that old thrill then somebody else will
And there's some mighty good women all alone

It's ten o'clock do you know where your man is
And are you sure that he's doing you right
Are you still in his heart when he's out of your sight
Do you know where your man is tonight
[ instrumental ]
Sometimes lovers just get too busy
Living their lives day by day
Oh but a good loving heart is so hard to find
And so easy to let slip away

So if he's there by your side count your blessings
Hold him and show him you care
Cause temptation's strong when there's no love at home
And there's so much temptation out there

It's twelve o'clock do you know where your man is...
Do you know where your man is tonight

Cleopatra Queen Of Denial

Bob DiPiero - Jan Buckingham - Pam Tillis

© Duck House Music, BMI

Well I said he had a lot of potential he was only misunderstood
You know he didn't really mean to treat me so bad he wanted to be good
And I swore one day I would tame him even though he loved to run hog wild
Just call me Cleopatra everybody cause I'm the queen of denial

I knew he didn't have any money
Yeah that's why he couldn't buy me a ring
Oh and just because he bought himself a brand new pickup truck
Really didn't prove anything
And he never had to say he loved me
I could see it every time he smiled
Just call me Cleopatra everybody cause I'm the queen of denial

Oh queen of denial buying all his alibis
Queen of denial floatin' down a river of lies yeah
[ instrumental ]
Now I'm not gonna jump to conclusions or throw away this perfect romance
Even though I saw him dancin' last night with a girl in a leopard skin pants
Yeah he's probably stuck in traffic and he'll be here in a little while
Just call me Cleopatra everybody cause I'm the queen of denial

Oh queen of denial buying all his alibis
Queen of denial just floatin' down a river of lies oh yeah

Love Is Only Human

Arnette Cotter - Kim Tribble

© Brian's Dream Music, ASCAP

with Marty Roe

Tonight I am the hero that you dream tonight
I am the angel that you see tonight
We shine with love so new but time alone will tell us what is true
Cause time can bring an angel down to earth
And time stands every hero 'gainst the world in time
All lover's dreams touch down and love must live much closer to the ground

When I'm just a man when I'm just a woman
Will you love me then will you love me when love is only human

Cause love can give a man the strength to fight
And love can make a woman's burdens light
And love in time forgives us all when heroes fail when the angels fall

When I'm just a man when I'm just a woman...

When we know each other through and through
With all our imperfections if we fall short of heaven
I still love you I love you

When I'm just a man when I'm just a woman...

Rough And Tumble Heart

Bob DiPiero - Sam Hogin - Pam Tillis

© Tree Pub, BMI

It's been kickin' around since '72
And there's not a whole lot that it ain't been through
No never quite learned to play by the rules
And there's one in every dreamer
Oh well it's hung around where it didn't belong
And given in when it should've been strong
And you think by now it would've turned to stone
But the flame burns bright as ever
Yeah the flame burns bright as ever

I got a rough and tumble heart
Well it took a few falls till it got smart
But it's still tender in the deepest part
This rough and tumble heart just rough and tumble heart

Well it's never lead a sheltered life
It knows love cuts deeper than the sharpest knife
And it struggled so long with the wrongs and rights
When there were no easy answers
Oh it beats so lonely in the still of the night
Needing someone to hold it tight
And it never will give up the fight
For a love that lasts forever a love that lasts forever

I got a rough and tumble heart...
[ instrumental ]
It's been kickin' around since '72
And there's not a whole lot that it ain't been through
No never quite learned to play by the rules
And there's one in every dreamer oh yeah

Let That Pony Run

Gretchen Peters

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

Mary was married with children had the perfect suburban life
Till her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam
And confessed all his sins one night
Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid
Said she made him feel reckless and young
And when he was through what else
She could do she just let that pony run

You do what you gotta do you know what you know
You hang on till you can't hang on then you learn to let go
You get what you need sometimes when it's all said and done
You do what you gotta do then you let that pony run oh yeah

Now Mary moved to West Virginia after the shock wore off
She got a divorce and a chestnut horse
And a barn with an old hay loft
And sometimes she rides down by the river
Say it makes her feel reckless and young
She just closes her eyes and she holds on tight
And she lets that pony run

You do what you gotta do you know what you know...
Let that pony run oh yeah

Fine Fine Very Fine Love

Bob DiPiero - Jim Photoglo

© Tree Pub, BMI

Oh oh I never knew how good a love could be
All I'd ever known was make believe
So many times I played the fool baby till I met you
Now everything has fallen in place
You can tell by the smile on my face
For every lonely tear that I've cried
I'm that much satisfied

We've got a fine fine very fine love
We've got a fine fine very fine love
You know it when you find one shining like a diamond
It's so fine fine very fine love

Oh you are more precious to me every day
Life is better now in every way
You don't have to lay the world at my feet
You have made my world complete

We've got a fine fine very fine love..

I've got no apprehensions you've got the best intentions babe
Oh we've got a we've got a fine fine very fine love

We've Tried Everything Else

Bob DiPiero - Steve Seskin - Pam Tillis

© Tree Pub, BMI

Going out every night doing all the wrong things to feel alright
Waking up all alone dying to call you on the telephone
I moved way across town and you've got someone new hanging round

Neither one of us is feeling any better
All we've been doing is fooling ourselves
Baby you and me were meant to be together
Let's try love again we've tried everything else

You hurt me I hurt you don't make no difference it's the same shade of blue
Other arms other lips only remind me that it's you I miss
You say you've been feeling the same why don't we stop playing this game

Neither one of us is feeling any better...

Oh we thought we'd be better off apart
But that's not what we're hearing from our hearts

Neither one of us is feeling any better...
Let's try love again we've tried everything else

Homeward Looking Angel

Bob DiPiero - Pam Tillis

© Tree Pub, BMI

She saw the ragged edge of nowhere from a fast movin' train
Watched the scenery fly by with a fever in her brain
Seemed like a good time at the time rolling down that track
Now the only thing she wants is a one-way ticket back

She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired
Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired
And that girl looking back in the mirror Lord made such a mess of things
And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings
Soon as she can find her wings oh
[ instrumental ]
She's so very hungry for a piece of mama's pie
Served up on grandma's china after church on Sunday night
Oh now papa's probably turning out the lights and headin' up the stairs
And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayers

She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired...
[ instrumental ]
There's a road ahead and a road behind all roads lead to home this time
She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired...
Homeward looking angel
