Planet Texas

John Parks

© Hilalou Pub, BMI

They rode like they was Rangers when they came out of the skies
They had high-tech horses with beacons in their eyes
My gun was cocked and ready when I looked into their face
I seen they weren't just common buckaroos born of the human race
No sir these cowboys came from space

Their shootin' irons shot laser light and their spurs was anodized
Bandannas caked with stardust and their jeans was pressurized
Well he handed me a halter and said tighten up the girth
But before I hit the saddle we were miles above the Earth
And I mean miles above the Earth

Yippie-aye-ay-e

I seen London Paris Budapest Kashmir and Tokyo
And there ain't no sight like a desert night looking down on Mexico
Through the moons of Mars and Jupiter round Saturn's rings we rode
Past the frozen plains of Pluto where even the sunshine's cold
Man I do mean cold

Then our interstellar stallions sailed through the starless void
There was nothing to miss in that emptiness not even a stray asteroid
Till we picked up the trail of a comet's tail man you can't even dream that far
And the gallopin' beat like the rhythm of an old catgut guitar
Just a strummin' from the distant star

Yippie-aye-ay-e

Well it could've lasted minutes or a hundred thousand years
But they got me down I was safe and sound and it hadn't even popped my ears
And they rared back on their broncos and they shot a bolt of light
I knew they were the good guys yes sir you got it right
Cause their cowboy hats was white

So ask 'em as they pulled their reins towards the settin' sun
Before you go I'd like to know just where you boys come from
Well they opened up a star chart and said right here where this X is
It's the biggest place in outer space a planet known as Texas

Yippie-aye-ay-e yippie-aye-ay-e
Yippie-aye-ay-e yippie-aye-ay-e

(Something Inside) So Strong

Labi Siffre

© Empire Music, ASCAP

The higher you build your barrier the taller I become
The farther you take my rights away the faster I will run
You can deny me you can decide to turn your face away

No matter cause there's something inside so strong
I know that I can make it though you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone oh no there's something inside so strong
Something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice the louder I will sing
You hide behind Walls of Jericho your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place and time you squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly it will blind you

Because there's something inside so strong...

Brothers and sisters when they insist we're just not good enough
Well we know better just look 'em in the eye and say
We're gonna do it anyway we're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone oh no
There's something inside so strong
There's something inside so strong
There's something inside so strong

Something inside so strong I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong so wrong

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

Robert Byrne - Richard Butler

© Window Music, BMI

with Gladys Knight

Well hello girl tell me how have you been
By the way I'll never make the same mistake again
And you know girl it's been a long hard time
Nothing like back when you were mine

And if I knew then what I know now
I'd have found the way to make things work out somehow
I'd have held you tight I'd have treated you right
If I knew then what I know now

It's a crazy world for a boy and a girl
Harder than it is for a woman and a man
Oh it was easy then just to push you away
Guess I never knew how I feel today

If we knew then

You know I do things differently
If you ever come back to me
If we could just go back in time
There's no broken heart
Girl we're at the start this time

One Night

Troy Seals - Mike Reid

© WB Music, ASCAP

Call me a fool send me away
I've got to say it's you I adore
I'm longing in love falling apart
I follow my heart straight to your door

Face to face with all honesty
I will be grateful if you'd give to me
Just one night to lay in your arms
Give me just one night could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
In just one night oh one night with you

Standing this close the sound of your voice
Leads me no choice I offer my love
Am I so wrong to think you might fall
'Cause baby you're all I can think of

Face to face with all honesty...

There Lies The Difference

Pat Bunch - Steve Dorff

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

I don't have to go out tonight
I don't have to guess who I'll see
I haven't been lonely since the first time we met
Now I know I'll never be

Cause I really care about you and you really care about me
And there lies the difference between now and when I was free
This time love won't go away the future's so easy to see
And there lies the difference between now and what used to be

There's no substitute for the truth
And I know you come straight from the heart
And our love stands out in the light of the day
Not only in the heat of the dark

Cause I really care if I could step back in time
With offers of you to be mine
I'd only step back as far as when you came to me
And this time love won't go away
The future's so easy to see and there lies

If I Ever Fall In Love Again

Gloria Sklerov - Steve Dorff

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

with Anne Murray

You I know you're everything that I've been looking for
And I I look into your eyes and could not ask for more
So it's only fair to lay it on the line
Hold on I'm gonna need a little time

But if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again

Scared I guess I'm scared to fly it's such a long way down
And yet if you'd just trust in me I'm sure I'd come around
And I know when you're hurt it's hard to let someone inside
In your arms I feel I'm ready now to try

So if I ever fall in love again...

I'd be a fool to ever let you go
You're the best thing in my life

And feels like there's never know
How to say that this was a memory
Under your love under your world
Blow your lips every kiss you and I here we go around

I know it's gonna be with you
You're the one to pull me through
Though I don't know when
If I ever fall in love again
If I ever fall in love again

When You Put Your Heart In It

Austin Roberts - James Dunne

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

We knew it was one in a million
It was such a long shot
Somehow we've got here together
And who knows what will happen
Anything can happen
If we keep getting better
And we keep on believing

When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere
Who's to say that we can't make it
It's the same dream that we share
When you put your heart in it
It can take you anywhere

This road was so long and winding
It was such a hard road
But we can't stop once we had started
We were always getting closer
Suddenly it happens
A chance in a lifetime
Now we're gonna take it
We can make it

When you put your heart in it...

The Vows Go Unbroken (Always True To You)

Gary Burr - Eric Kaz

© Glasco Music, ASCAP

From the moment I met you you made my life complete
This wave of pure devotion has swept me off my feet
And tonight when we kissed you still took my breath away
It goes without saying but I'll say it anyway

The vows go unbroken and you still know I do
Love keep and honor always true to you
Though I have been tempted oh I have never strayed
I'd die before I'd damage this union we have made

The vows go unbroken and you still know I do
Love keep and honor always true to you
I knew from the first that for better or worse
I'd stand by you all my life

And the vows go unbroken and you still know I do
Love keep and honor always true to you
Love keep and honor always true to you

Maybe

Sharon Vaughn - Bill Rice

© Window Music, BMI

with Holly Dunn

Maybe is a word that hangs between us
It's the thing to say when all else has failed
Maybe we failed maybe
Maybe but I can't bare say it's over
Till the love we found is hopelessly lost
Maybe I could maybe not

Our lives might have come unwound
But have we've come so far
That we can't turn the hurt around
Our hearts still remain the same
Oh first to wonder why oh ask to make a change

But maybe maybe if we hold on to tomorrow
Just hold on just hold on
Then we just might find a feeling again
Not let it end

Maybe it's a word that hangs between us
Maybe time would help the wondering to stop
Maybe we will know maybe not maybe maybe

Love The Way You Do

Kye Fleming - Richard Kerr

© Irving Music, BMI

I've loved you all my life in all my dreams
So why am I surprised here with me
That's how it should be
But you look in my eyes turn away
You can see inside I'm afraid afraid of feeling

I don't know what to say I don't understand
It's not the way I planned

I can't stay I can't leave
I'm torn between two people I need
One of them is you the other is me
We come from different world different stars
But when you're lying here in my arms
All I wanna do is love the way you do
All I wanna do is love the way you do

How can I go on but nothing's changed
You and I both know the choice was made
When I first touched you
Now if I stay or leave it's all the same
Awake or in my dreams I see your face I will love you

I'm always in control now here I stand
A heart is in my hand

I can't stay I can't leave
I'm torn between two people I need
One of them is you the other is me
We come from different world different stars
But when you're lying here in my arms
All I wanna do is love the way you do
All I wanna do is love the way you do
