Back To The Well

Robert Byrne - Rick Bowles

© Screen Gems Music, BMI

When my home is so far away
And I miss you so bad it hurts
When I feel like I've lost my way
I know where to go to quench my thirst

Back to the well for a drink of cool cool water
Back to the arms where my heart first fell
Back to the place my loving cup runs over
Back to my love back to the well

Cross the ocean and around the world
I've logged a million country miles
But I always come back to the girls
Who makes it all worth while

Back to the well for a drink of cool cool water...
Back to the well for a drink of cool cool water...
Back to my love back to the well

Listen To The Rain

Chuck Cannon - Billy Dean

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Early dawn another lazy stormy Monday morn
Outside my ride is layin' on the horn
But I won't be torn from your arms

Work can wait
I call the boss and tell him I'll be late
I've been saving for this rainy day
What do you say we stay at home
And make love all day long

And let's just listen to the rain fall
Music on the window pane that's all
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Just crawl back in bed pull the covers overhead
Me and you like John and Yoko use to do
Let's just listen to the rain

Life moves fast
Let's find a way to make the moments last
Forget the future and forget the past
Girl all I ask of you

Let's just listen to the rain fall
Music on the window pane that's all
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Just crawl back in bed pull the covers overhead
Me and you like John and Yoko use to do

Let it pour we'll hold each other let the thunder roar
Love is never felt like this before
And I need more of you

So let's just listen to the rain fall
Music on the window pane that's all
Nothing ventured nothing gained
We'll crawl back in bed pull the covers overhead
Me and you like John and Yoko use to do
Just listen to the rain

727 East Magnolia Avenue

Steven Jones - Bobby Tomberlin

© Mike Curb Music, BMI

You won't believe where I was today
Something made my car go a different way
Before I knew it I was back in time
At our old address sitting in the drive

And I could see you in my football jersey raking leaves
I could see me hanging lights on our first Christmas tree
I could see us nail those numbers on the door that afternoon
At 727 East Magnolia Avenue

They added on where we thought we would
You always said it would sure look good
They cut down that tree we were afraid would fall
Looks like they picked up right where we left off

I could see you out there on the deck soaking up the sun
I could see me chasing you around with a water gun
I could see us there together seemed the sky was always blue
At 727 East Magnolia Avenue

If I could make one wish oh I'd relive my life with you
At 727 East Magnolia Avenue

Undercover

Dolly Parton

© Velvet Apple Music, BMI

Oh sweet darling kick your shoes off let your hair down get in bed
Come and lie down here beside me chase the demons from my head
Oh this day had been a devil come here angel make it right
Undercover heaven's waitin' will you take me there tonight

Undercover angels hover as we fell in love in bed
Undercover words are uttered even though it's never said
Undercover I would rather be with you than anywhere
We are undercover lovers and I run to meet you there

Private eyes and private moments private words and flying sparks
Sharing fantasies and secrets fiery kisses and racing hearts
It's a sacred place we go to magical and sexy too
And when we go undercover there is only me and you

Undercover we discover there's another world inside
Besides this crazy world we live in we can leave it all outside
Oh undercover

Come here darling let me hold you jump in here beside of me
When the world is blown to pieces you can always come to me
Let me touch you let me kiss you you don't have to say a word
What you tell me with your body beats all I've ever heard

Undercover angels hover as we cuddle up in bed...

Come and lay down by my side undercover heaven's waitin'
And we're going there going there going there right now

Prairie Wedding

Mark Knopfler

© Strait Jacket Songs, ASCAP

We only knew each other by letter
When I met her over the train
When the smoke cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there speaking my name

I guarantee she looked like an angel
I couldn't think of what I should say
But when Adam saw Eve in the garden
I believe he felt the selfsame way

I handed her up on the wagon
And I loaded up her trunk behind
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
I tried to get a hope on my mind

You think that you could love me Mary
You think we got a chance of a life
Do you think that you could love me Mary
Now you are to be my wife

We finally headed out of the station
And drove up my home trail
And when we came to the farm she laid a hand on my arm
I thought my resolution would fail

Now froze as she stepped through the doorway
And I stood there as still as could be
I said I know it ain't much it needs a woman's touch
Perhaps she turned around and looked at me

Do you think that you could love me Mary...

We had a prairie wedding
There was a preacher and a neighbor or two
I gave my golden thing a gold wedding ring
And the both of us said I do

Now when the sun is going down in the prairie
And the golden hair is a flame
I say do you really love me Mary
I hold her and I whisper her name

Do you think that you could love me Mary ...

I'm Missing You

Billy Kirsch - Steve Wariner

© Steve Wariner Music, BMI

By the time you read this letter I'll be gone
I'm not the man I was when I left home
By the time you see my face I will have aged
Much more than the passing of the days

This many miles might as well be the moon
It's a desolate place and I'm missing you
My heart can't believe what my eyes they have seen
God knows what's pulling us through
In a world gone insane I've whispered your name
I'm missing you

Sometimes in the quiet of the night
I reach for you as if you're by my side
When everything around me seems all gone
The thought of holding you keeps me hangin' on

This many miles might as well be the moon...

In a world gone insane I whisper your name
I'm missing you

You can do what you want just seize the day
What you're doing tomorrow's gonna come your way

Don't you ever consider giving up
You will find ooh it's a beautiful life ooh
It's a beautiful life ooh it's a beautiful life ooh

I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
Take a walk in the park when you feel down

There's so many things there that's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream ooh it's a beautiful life ooh
It's a beautiful life ooh it's a beautiful life ooh

I just wanna be here beside you

And stay until the break of dawn
You're looking for somewhere to belong

You're standing all alone for someone to guide you on your way
Now and forever it's a beautiful life ooh
It's a beautiful life ooh it's a beautiful life ooh

I just wanna be anybody we're living in different ways
It's a beautiful life I'm gonna take you to a place
I've never been before oh yeah it's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you in my arms and fly away with you tonight
It's a beautiful life ooh

Tears In God's Eyes

Kent Blazy - Kim Williams - Skip Ewing

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

One man can't sleep in his penthouse bed
Wall Street worries fill his head
While another man dreams
In his cardboard shed on Broadway

Early morning traffic jam
Wake up call for both of them
Will work to eat
Asks easy street for small change

And which one needs it more
The rich man or the poor
A change of heart and attitude
Unselfishness meets gratitude

It's enough to put tears in God's eyes
Enough to make the angels cry
When the power of love lifts someone above
The emptiness of their unbearable life
It's enough to put tears in God's eyes

Late at night a baby cries
His mother gives him life then dies
But no one even by them to be sad
And another woman fills the need
It's her heart and his mouth she'll feed
When she gives her love to the child she never had

Oh and which one needs it more
It's hard to say for sure
When something grows when nothing was
As strong as any bond of blood

It's enough to put tears in God's eyes...

Every minute every day a little miracle's done
Someone opens up their heart and lets it shine like the sun
Just the light of that one

It's enough to put tears in God's eyes...

Harder Cards

Craig Wiseman - Mike Henderson

© Irving Music, BMI

Well a hammer fell down on a 44 primer
And that was one less problem in South Carolina tonight
Wrong or right

She just looked to me as she finished her tale
The blank expression went another pale shade of gray
There was nothing to say

In the shadows of her face I saw the scars
That you get when you live where love is hard
And she said

Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
There are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well I put the cuffs on her and sat her in the car
Walked inside he was layin' on the floor stone dead
Been shot in the head

There were whiskey bottles and dope by the chair
A starving baby with nothing to wear but tears
So the picture was clear

He had finally pushed her way across the line
And the badge I wore was losing all its shine
And she said

Don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile in my bare feet
There are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

I just stood there thinkin' how justice is blind
But after thirty five years you learn to read the signs
So I made up my mind

I took the cuffs off her and I walked her back in
Wiped the gun off and wrapped it in his right hand
Where it should've been

And the morning paper read in black and white
It's just another senseless case of suicide
Suicide

Oh but don't you sit and judge me from some high and mighty seat
Don't you shrug it off until you've walked a mile along my beat
There are people that you pass by every day
With harder cards than yours in life to play

Well a hammer fell down on a 44 Primer
And that was one less problem in South Carolina tonight

Handprints On The Wall

Nelson Blanchard - Scott Innes - Claude Parish

© White Car Music, BMI

The wait turned into hours before you came my way
The smile that filled a daddy's heart on the special day
The moment left me speechless I didn't know what to say
Then you took your first breath that took mine away

Days go by so quickly summer turns to fall
Seems like only yesterday that you began to crawl
So don't be afraid to take that step I'll catch you when you fall
I don't mind if you leave behind a few handprints on the wall

I can't describe this feeling way down deep inside
The itsy-bitsy spider was the first thing that we tried
Patty cake the baker's man with your hands so very small
You could always stay this young and I wouldn't mind at all

Days go by so quickly summer turns to fall...

Owe Them More Than That

Roger Springer - Tony Martin - John Guess - Clessie Morisette

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Old Hank was a drifter passing through
He stayed long enough to cry the blues
Acquainted with the bottle he knew the good Lord too
Hank was drifter passing through

Lefty was an oil rigger's son
He felt every word he ever sung
And when it came to singing Lord
He showed them how it's done
Old Lefty was an oil rigger's son

They broke the ground on the road that we go down today
Like a train whistle passing their voices are starting to fade
There are some who sing their praises others tip their hats
But it seems like we owe 'em more than that

Marty painted pictures with a song
El Paso made the whole world sing along
With the story of Felina and the cowboy in her arms
Marty painted pictures with a song

Waylon was the outlaw of our time
Not afraid to lay it on the line
He went against the grain
And he always spoke his mind
Waylon was the outlaw of our time

They broke the ground on the road that we go down today...

There are some who sing their praises others tip their hats
But it seems like we owe 'em more than that
But it seems like we owe 'em more than that
We all know we owe 'em more than that
Yeah we do

A Love Like This

Chip Davis - Candy Cameron

© Reservoir Media Music, ASCAP

Is it still love when we no longer touch
Passing white sheets in the night
Love goes unspoken we don't say a word
We simply turn out the lights
Lost in the silence but still I can hear
The sound of my own breaking heart
I can't pretend that my world isn't falling apart

And I don't wanna go through love like this
Cause I won't ever know what I might have missed
I wanna burn with desire
I want to feel the fire when we kiss
But I don't wanna go through love like this

I still remember the taste of your skin
The sound of you saying my name
The way that it felt as we laid in the sand
And passion came crashing like waves
The wind of your laughter the longing
The love lead us to lacking inside
There must be some way for lovers to turn the trash

Cause I don't wanna go through love like this...

Like strangers living like two people
Who'd never known what is like to be loved

I want to burn with desire I want to feel the fire of every kiss
But I don't wanna go through love no I'm not gonna go through love
I'm not willing to go through love like this
