Deep Dawn

Walt Aldridge - John Jarrard

© Lehsem Music, ASCAP

You know everyday I walk down memory lane
Tryin' to find a way past the same old pain
Ah you know but now the message is loud and it's clear
There ain't no way to get there from here

Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are
I got the bleedin' stopped but there's gonna be a scar
I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around
Deep down deep down

Well I know an old soldier who walks with a limp
From a war he's still fightin' inside of him
And just like me he'll go to his grave
Nursin' a pain that won't go away

Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are...

Maybe I really don't wanna be through
With all the memories I have of you
We had some bad times but we had good times too oh oh yeah
[ instrumental ]
Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are...
You'll always be around deep down

Mandolin Rain

Bruce Hornsby - John Hornsby

© Basically Gasp Music, ASCAP

The song came and went like the times that we spent
Hidin' out from the rain under the carnival tent
I'd laugh and he'd smile and it would last for a while
You don't know what you got till you lose it all again

Listen to the mandolin rain listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heartbreak every time that he goes away
Listen to the banjo wind a sad song driftin' low
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go

A cool evening dance listening to the bluegrass band
Takes the chill from the air till they play the last song
And I'll do my time keeping you off my mind
But there's moments that I find I'm not feeling so strong

Listen to the mandolin rain listen to the music on the lake...

Running down by the lakeshore he did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it's washing him away once again
Once again once again oh oh
[ instrumental ]
Oh listen to the mandolin rain listen to the music on the lake...
Listen to my tears roll down my face as he turns to go

Sunset Red And Pale Moonlight

Kim Richey - Angelo Patraglia

© Mighty Nice Music, BMI

We gave the day up to a back road and let it take us out of town
To a spot down by the river to watch the sun go down
We must have sat and talked for hours not giving in to the night
And that day I saw the sunset in a whole new light

Now the stars came out like diamonds on a deep blue satin sky
He said from where he stood honey you sure look good
In sunset red and pale moonlight

Later we pulled out the blanket when we felt the evening chill
Oh and he wrapped his arms around me that's when time stood still

Now the stars came out like diamonds on a deep blue satin sky...
[ instrumental ]
Now the stars came out like diamonds on a deep blue satin sky...
In sunset red and pale moonlight

It's Lonely Out There

Bob DiPiero - Pam Tillis

© Ben Future Town Music, BMI

I can't make you stay and boy I wouldn't want to
Go on walk away but don't say I didn't warn you
Have you forgotten how it was before I wrapped you in my love

It's lonely so lonely go on and get your share
But believe me baby it's lonely out there

You think there's some adventure that you're missin'
Some thrill undone or sweeter lips you could be kissin'
So you wonder and you want to let go our love is dying for you to know

It's lonely so lonely go on and get your share...
[ instrumental ]
There's people out there tryin' to look like they're havin' fun
Do you really want to be one
They're just remembering what they had or waitin' for their next chance at love
Love love love
It's lonely so lonely we got such a good thing here
Believe me baby it's lonely out there

It's lonely so lonely go on and get your share...
It's lonely out there

The River And The Highway

Don Schlitz - Gerry House

© New Don Songs, ASCAP

She follows the path of least resistance she doesn't care to see the mountain top
She twists and turns with no regard to distance she never comes to a stop
And she rolls she's a river where she goes time will tell
Heaven knows he can't go with her and she rolls all by herself all by herself

He's headed for a single destination he doesn't care what's standing in his path
He's a line between two points of separation he ends just where it says to on the map
And he rolls he's a highway where he goes time will tell
Heaven knows she can't go with him and he rolls all by himself all by himself

And every now and then he offers her a shoulder and every now and then she overflows
And every now and then a bridge crosses over it's a moment every lover knows
And she rolls and he rolls she's a river he's a highway
Where she goes where he goes time will tell time will tell
Heaven knows she can't go with him he can't go with her
And she rolls all by herself and he rolls all by himself fare thee well

You Can't Have A Good Time Without Me

Lewis Anderson - Raymond Smith - Lisa Silver

© Leighton Music, BMI

You say you're not missing me darling I know you are and always will be
I saw you at the club actin' so in love ah but that don't mean nothin' to me
Cause as you danced by, that look in your eye showed me where your heart is secretly
Guess I'll be seeing you in the middle of the blues you can't have a good time without me

You can't have a good time without me
You're goin' to see me in your memory
You're goin' to hear me in that melody
You can't have a good time without me

I remember those sweet nights with you dear when I had you all to myself
Now those times are gone but love still lingers on you won't find with anyone else
Ah well you may wear a smile fool yourself awhile but your heart and your mind will disagree
So I'll be seeing you in the middle of the blues cause you can't have a good time without me

You can't have a good time without me...
[ instrumental ]
Oh you can't have a good time without me...
You can't have a good time without me...

You can't have a good time no you just can't have no fun
You can't have a good time without me

Betty's Got A Bass Boat

Craig Wiseman - Bernie Nelson

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Now Betty was your average ordinary girl never wanted very much out of this world
Just an occasional dinner and twirl from a regular guy
So Betty sat up one lonely night trying to figure out what a man might like
Then like a bolt right out of the blue she got herself a plan

Oh Betty's got a bass boat Betty's got a truck all of a sudden things are looking up
She's the most popular girl in town since she got a new camper and a huntin' hound
Might be coincidental oh you just might never know
Oh but things sure got a lot better since Betty got a bass boat

Now lately gettin' a date isn't all that hard
There's a half a dozen Bubba's fightin' in the yard
She won 'em over with her Southern Charm and a satelite dish
Now Betty can't believe her popularity she's thinkin bout marketing her recipe
So ironic and the funny thing is she never even liked to fish

Oh Betty's got a bass boat Betty's got a truck all of a sudden things are looking up...
[ instrumental ]
She's got bowling shoes she can't lose
She's got those boys just blowin' their fuse
She's got a big screen she's in the in scene
They're ever gonna make her Strawberry Queen

Oh Betty's got a bass boat Betty's got a truck all of a sudden things are looking up...

Tequila Mockingbird

Pam Tillis - Mel Tillis Jr

© Ben Future Music, BMI

It's a slow smoky scene at the county line cantina
Where strangers stop to hear her sing a song
She's a legend round these parts for stealing all the hearts
Of cowboys on their way to San Antone

She used to be a desert rose with ballerina toes
But that wasn't in the cards she chose to play
The pages of her life are wrinkled but her Spanish eyes still twinkle
Every time she steps out on the stage

Tequila Mockingbird flying underneath the neon moon
Tequila Mockingbird dreaming of a love that ended too soon
She sings the saddest song you ever heard
So bittersweet Tequila Mockingbird Tequila Mockingbird

Well now once she had a man and they called him Diamond Dan
He was wild and reckless as a mustang stud
Till one night Tequila found him with the gamblers gathered round him
Lyin' in a pool of cheater's blood

Tequila Mockingbird flying underneath the neon moon...
[ instrumental ]
She sings ooh hoo woo hoo hoo it wasn't God who made those blue neon angels
Ooh woo hoo hooh I know he's waitin' on the other side for me

Tequila Mockingbird flying underneath the neon moon...
She sings ooh hoo woo hoo hoo she sings ooh hoo woo hoo hoo ooh

No Two Ways About It

Kim Carnes - Greg Barnhill - Vince Melamed

© Albertas Paw Music, BMI

Walked into the club last night hadn't been there for so long
Thinking foolishly I might find you sitting all alone
But oh how dreams lie when she put her arms around you
And I watched you close your eyes

Ain't no two ways about it something here had changed
Ain't no going back now to that same old same
Used to be you were always there for me
Now there's one thing I know that's when to cash 'em in
God I hate to lose you there's no way I can win
And I'm finding out ain't no two ways about it now

The lights were not too dim to see what was really going on
As the truth occurred to me the band began to play our song
And you swirled her across the floor
But the thing that got me most was when you waltzed her out the door

Ain't no two ways about it something here had changed...
[ instrumental ]
Now there's one thing I know that's when to cash 'em in
God I hate to lose you there's no way I can win
And I'm finding out ain't no two ways about it now

All Of This Love

Chapin Hartford - John Daniel - Jule Medders

© Tree Pub, BMI

Have you ever seen a wild magnolia there's only one place it grows
On the shady banks of the Tennessee River sheltered untouched and alone
There's a place in my heart where nobody has been and I keep it for you
There's a door to my dreams and one day you'll walk in until that day I'll be true
Cause I can't wait to see what you'll do with all of this love that I'm saving for you

All of this love can't wait to see what you'll do
All of this love all of this love that I'm saving for you
[ instrumental ]
Do you ever feel the ache and the hunger and do you look for me too
Sometimes at night when I lie awake and I wonder shadows of doubt fill my room
And the darkness falls and I stare at the walls till you come into view
And I picture your face and the time and the place you're a dream waitin' to come true
And I can't wait to see what you'll do with all of this love that I'm saving for you

All of this love can't wait to see what you'll do...
[ instrumental ]
All of this love can't wait to see what you'll do...
