Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)

Pam Tillis - Jess Leary

© Ben Future Music, BMI

If you're coming with me you need nerves of steel
Cause I take corners on two wheels
It's never ending circus ride
The faint of heart need not apply

Mi vida loca over and over destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows you can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
[ instrumental ]
Sweetheart before this night is through
I could fall in love with you
Come dancing on the edge with me
Let my passion set you free

Mi vida loca over and over destiny turns on a dime...
[ instrumental ]
Here in the firelight I see your tattoo
Mi vida loco so you're crazy too

Mi vida loca over and over destiny turns on a dime...

We'll go where the wind blows and I'll be a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life

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...

Don't Tell Me What To Do

Harlan Howard - Max D. Barnes

© Tree Pub, BMI

We tried and we tried but it's over
Guess I didn't fit the image in your mind
Now you tell me to find another lover
But baby aren't you gettin' out of line

Don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you've turned
I'm no longer your concern
So don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to
[ instrumental ]
You're no longer in charge of my thinkin'
You're already in love with someone else
So if I'm into all night honky tonks and drinkin'
I'm a big girl I can take care of myself

So don't tell me what to do...
So don't tell me what to do...

Do You Know Where Your Man Is / Blue Rose Is

Dave Gibson - Raymond Smith - Bob DiPiero - Jan Buckingham

© 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

Now 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
Do you know where your man is tonight

Her lips and her dress they're both ruby red
She thinks that's how you hide the pain you feel inside
And she comes out every night to soak up the neon light
Her perfume fills the air people stop and stare

And Blue Rose is looking for the moon in someone's eyes
Blue Rose is willing to believe in someone's lies
Now Blue Rose's petals have been crushed along the way
Oh oh oh Blue Rose is just growing bluer every day
Ah ah ah Blue Rose is just growing bluer every day

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

When You Walk In The Room

Jackie DeShannon

© Metric Music, BMI

I can see a new expression on my face
I can feel a strange sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Everytime that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I see a summer night with a magic moon
Everytime that you walk in the room

Maybe it's a dream come true
Standing right alongside of you
Wish I could show you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare uh-huh

I can feel that something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I heart thunder boom
Everytime that you everytime that you
Everytime that you walk in the room uh-huh

Spilled Perfume / Let That Pony Run / All The Good Ones Are Gone

Dean Dillon - Gretchen Peters - Bob McDill

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I ain't even gonna ask you I can read you like a book
Girl if I ever saw one that's an I can't believe I did that look
You look like something that the cat drug in so I won't kick you while you're down
Just let me tell you friend to friend bout a block I've been around

Did you really think last night would last forever
Did you really think that guy hung the moon
Right now you hate yourself cause you knew better
But there's no use crying over spilled perfume
No use crying over no use crying over
No use crying over spilled perfume
La la la la la la la la

Mary was married with children
Have 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 and 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
Let that pony run oh oh yeah

She'll turn thirty-four this weekend
She'll go out with her girlfriends
They'll drink some margaritas
Cut up and carry on
There'll be guys and there'll be come on
She'll probably get hit on
But she thinks all the good ones are gone

She's got friends down at the office
And she can't help but notice
That when the day is over
How they all hurry home
Everyday there's guys she works with
And even some she flirts with
But is seems like all the good ones are gone

Her mama called this mornin'
Said I'm worried about my baby
I wish you had a family of your own
She said mom it's not that easy
You make it sound so simple
You can't take the first man that comes along

She'll turn thirty-four this weekend
She'll go out with her girlfriends
They'll drink some margaritas
Cut up and carry on

Calico Plains

Matraca Berg - Mike Noble

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Sweet Abilena looked out at the midwestern sky
Sweet seventeen with a far away look in her eyes
She said I feel like a bird in a cage but come September I'm flying away
I said I'm gonna miss you then I made her promise to write
Since we were tall as the corn in the spring
We shared every secret shared every dream
So anxious to grow in the new summer rain
And bloom like a rose on the calico plains
[ instrumental ]
How could she hear as we laughed on that long summer night
The tiny heart of the baby she carried inside
I stood beside her when September came
Watched her get married then caught the bouquet
And like those hand-me-down dresses she gave me I made her dreams mine
From a seat by the window on wings made of steel
I stared at the patchwork over the fields
Where young tears that once flowed like warm summer rain
Were turning to snow on the calico plains
[ instrumental ]
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
Closer to thirty but farther away in her eyes
She holds her babies like she holds her dreams
Each night she kisses and rocks them to sleep
She reads the letter she made me promise to write
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky

In Between Dances

Craig Bickhardt - Barry Alfonso

© Almo Music, ASCAP

There's room at my table why don't you pull up a seat
The music's inviting but I'm staying off of my feet
The floor's gettin' crowded but I don't wanna take part
I bet you can guess it's got something to do with my heart

I could sure use your company now but don't be mistaking my smile
I'm only in between dances sittin' it out for a while

The partners are chosen look at them waltzing away
The tempo gets slower closer and closer they sway
I've had my moments when I could get lost in the sound
When the song ended the one in my arms let me down

I could sure use your company now but don't be mistaking my smile...

Have you been in my shoes I search your eyes for signs
Will you remain remember my name after it's closing time

I could sure use your company now but don't be mistaking my smile...
I'm only in between dances sittin' it out for a while

Last Train To Clarksville

Tommy Boyce - Bobby Hart

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be be here by four thirty
Cause I've made your reservation

Don't be slow oh no no no oh no no no

Cause I'm leavin' in the morning
And I must see you again
We'll have one more night together
Till the morning brings my train

And I must go oh no no no oh no no no
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
I'll be waiting at the station
We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation

Oh oh no no no oh no no no

Take the last train to Clarksville
Now I must hang up the phone
I can't hear you in this
Noisy railroad station all alone

I'm feelin' low oh no no no oh no no no
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be be here by four thirty
Cause I made your reservation

Don't be slow oh no no no oh no no no
And I don't know if I'm ever coming home

Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville

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

Heartache

Leslie Satcher

© Blackwood Music, BMI

You've been spreadin' the blues all over the place
Walking around with that look on your face
Teardrops fallin' hard on the cold cold ground
It's time you lay the heartache down

Well I know shes done you wrong I know she told you lies
Said forever then goodbye
Made you feel like the biggest fool in town
But its time to lay the heartache down

Lay the heartache down and leave the memories
She ain't worth all the misery
Somebody loves you baby can't you see
Turn around and take a look at me

I wanna warm your heart I wanna cool your mind
Love you tender and treat you kind
But I can't wait forever for you to come around
Well it's time to lay the heartache down

Lay the heartache down and leave the memories...
I wanna warm your heart I wanna cool your mind...

Demolition Angel

Matraca Berg

© Longitude Music, BMI

I got walls around my soul walls around my heart,
Walls around these walls I've built a prison in the dark

A fortress full of trouble it's a monument of pride
Built with the bricks of selfishness ambition fear and lies

Demolition angel
Tear it down burn it down set me free
Come with fire on your wings deliver me
Demolition angel

Well I had turned away from those who loved me the most
Wagered my salvation on an unholy ghost
But vengeance is mine said the Lord said the lord,
Sent a warrior down from Heaven carrying his mighty sword

Demolition angel...

I will walk from this wreckage
Cleansed of my sins sweet devastation

Demolition angel...
Set me free

I Said A Prayer

Leslie Satcher

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Under the sun under the moon
Under the sky midnight blue
Under the maple under the roof
I got down on my knees and told the truth

I told him I was tired of feelin' lonely
And I could really use my one and only

Oh oh I said a prayer for you baby
And somehow it got through
Oh oh I said a prayer for you baby
Now look at you
Wasn't God feelin' good that day

Na na na na na na I heard you get what you're praying for
Na na na na na na I got more so much more

Just down the street just down the road
Walkin' along how could you have known
It must have been strange that little burnin' in your soul
Sorry 'bout the lightnin' bolt
But I told him I was tired of bein' lonely
And I could really use my one and only

Oh oh I said a prayer for you baby...
I said a prayer for you you baby...

Maybe It Was Memphis

Michael Anderson

© Atlantic Music, BMI

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katy did sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing through the willow tree
What was I supposed to do standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me but it sure felt right

Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away
What was I supposed to do standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis...
Maybe it was Memphis...
[ instrumental ]
Every night now since I've been back home
I lie awake driftin' in my memory
I think about you on your momma's front porch swing
Talkin' that way so soft to me
What was I supposed to do standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis...
Maybe it was Memphis...

Maybe it was you maybe it was me but it sure felt right
Oh you know it sure felt right
Oh maybe it was Memphis maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Memphis maybe it was Memphis
But it sure felt right

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
