1. _ Labor Of Love
(billy lawson/larry boone)
Well i got a cousin that's twice removed
Had a crush on a girl back in school
She didn't know it he didn't let it show
Now she's married to a banker in el paso
You gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
It's a labor of love
Well i once knew a couple from arkansas
And she did hair and he hauled logs
Saved up their money and built on a room
Now there's three of them where there used to be two
You gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
It's a labor of love
No matter if you're low class, high class, middle class
Well it don't discriminate, no it don't
It don't matter if you're redneck, intellect, a beatneck
Well it all works the same, lordy lordy lordy lord now
You gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
It's a labor of love
Gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
It's a labor of love
Work work work
It's a labor of love

2. _ Cotton County Queen
(wally wilson/sam hogin/phil barnhart)
My baby came and got me in her mama's cadillac
We went parkin' by the river near the honeydew patch
She started talkin' 'bout the birds and the bees
My mind ran wild with the possibilities
Like rhett and scarlett climbin' up the stairs
We were on our way to heaven in the melons out there
She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream
Prettiest thing i ever had seen
Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans
The upper mississippi delta cotton county queen
She had a judge for a daddy, he made her tow the line
Brother he was tougher than a year of hard time
He came by and caught us rollin' in the weeds
Said "boy get goin' if you're ever gonna leave"
I took off runnin' out of that place
All the while thinkin' 'bout her beautiful face
She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream
Prettiest thing i ever had seen
Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans
The upper mississippi delta cotton county queen
Snuck up to the house in the heat of the night
Hid in the hedge 'til they turned out the lights
Tapped on the windows said "darlin' let's go"
And we were gone with the wind in her el dorado
She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream
Prettiest thing i ever had seen
Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans
The upper mississippi delta cotton county queen
Yeah she's the cerfold picture in a country boy's dream
The upper mississippi delta cotton county queen
Upper mississippi, delta cotton county queen

3. _ One Day Left To Live
(dean dillon/randy boudreaux/john northrup)
I rolled out of bed grabbed a cup of caffeine this morning
Walked out the door didn't even kiss you goodbye
Hurrying to work, a car pulled out no warnin'
In an instant it all flashed before my eyes
And i'm gonna live the rest of my life
Like i got one day left to live
One night left to love you
Startin' right now i'm startin' all over
Doin' what i should do
Should this be my last, or i've got a hundred years
From this day on i'm gonna live my life
Like i got one day left to live
What a close call
Could of been all she wrote me
Think i'll turn this car around and head back home
There's a reason to be learned in this it showed me
Take nothing for granted in a second it can all be gone
But i'm gonna live the rest of my life
Like i got one day left to live
One night left to love you
Startin' right now i'm startin' all over
Doin' what i should do
Should this be my last, or i've got a hundred years
From this day on i'm gonna live my life
Like i got one day left to live
One night left to love you
Startin' right now i'm startin' all over
Doin' what i should do
Should this be my last, or i've got a hundred years
From this day on i'm gonna live my life
Like i got one day left to live

4. _ Little Did I Know
(billy mccovery/greg crowe/dave gibson)
Little jolena, a dark haired darlin'
Skin of ivory, angel eyes
Every man in louisiana wanted her sweet love
But she swore on the bible, she was all mine
Hey little did i know, she was wild as the bayou
Catch a man on a cane pole, hang his heart on the line
I thought i could hold her, me oh my oh
Little did i know, she had bigger fish to fry
My brother tried to warn me, mama she scorned me
My friends all told me, i was under her spell
But i wouldn't listen, i was lovesick
Without jolena life would be a living hell
Hey little did i know, she was wild as the bayou
Catch a man on a cane pole, hang his heart on the line
I thought i could hold her, me oh my oh
Little did i know, she had bigger fish to fry
At the church in the wildwood standin' at the alter
Little jolena never showed
I heard later on she left with a dandy
And headed down to mexico
Hey little did i know, she was wild as the bayou
Catch a man on a cane pole, hang his heart on the line
I thought i could hold her, me oh my oh
Little did i know, she had bigger fish to fry
Hey little did i know, she had bigger fish to fry

5. _ Honky Tonk America
(bob mcdill)
Well the day it ends when the sun comes up
And it starts when the sun goes down
Out on the backroads and on the back streets
Of every farm and factory town
There in the world of weekly wage
There's always a place out there
And the names and the faces are the same everywhere
Well the room is full it's a friday night
We all wanna hear louie louie
Been a long hard day and a long hard life
And this is how we make it through it
It's a blue collar place a red blooded crowd
Tonight everything's all right
In honky tonk america
There's a flashing sign on a rain soaked street
That lights up just about dark
A welcome beacon on life's highway
When your weary and when you lost heart
Never say its loneliness
It's only the drinks and the band
But something brings us back here again and again
Well the room is full it's a friday night
We all wanna hear proud mary
Been a long hard day and a long hard life
We all got our crosses to carry
It's a blue collar place a red blooded crowd
Tonight everything's all right
In honky tonk america
Well talk about freedom alright but maybe some other time
Tonight everyone's feeling fine
Well the room is full it's a friday night
We all wanna hear wolly bully
Been a long hard day and a long hard life
Monday morning well all do our duty
It's a blue collar place a red blooded crowd
Tonight everything's all right
In honky tonk america
Honky tonk america
Honky tonk america
Honky tonk america
Honky tonk america

6. _ Arms Length Away
(monty criswell/lee miller/michael white)
How long have we been the very best of friends
I've always heard you say, i could tell you anything
Oh the times i made you laugh, the times i dried your tears
Through the good and bad i've always been right there
An arms length away
Right in front of your face
This close to your lips, right at your finger tips
That one true love, you're dreaming of
Darlin' what would you say
If i told you it's an arms length away
For so long i've longed to hold you, oh the nights i almost told you
I stopped myself afraid, of just what you might say
And the love that you have searched for, that seems so out of reach
Have you ever stopped to think it might be me
An arms length away
Right in front of your face
This close to your lips, right at your finger tips
That one true love, you're dreaming of
Darlin' what would you say
If i told you it's an arms length away
That one true love, you're dreaming of
Darlin' what would you say
If i told you it's an arms length away
That one true love, you're dreaming of
Darlin' what would you say
If i told you it's an arms length away

7. _ Matches
(skip ewing/roger springer)
We met at the broken spoke restaurant and lounge
I lit your cigarette, then you wrote your number down
On the inside of a matchbook that was layin' on the bar
And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart
I didn't see it comin', guess i didn't read the signs
I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time
But today when i came home, my key was hollow in the door
And there was nothin' but a worn out book of matches on the floor
You took the bed
You took the dishes and the car
And you broke my trust
And you took advantage of my heart
And you left me there
With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches
If i find the strength to burn your memory down
At least you left the matches
The color's old and faded, the cover's worn and stained
But i can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name
Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette
Now one by one i'm striking them to help me forget
And everybody at the broken spoke
Well they all thought my crazy story was a joke
Now they're all out in the parking lot
Staring at the smoke
You took the bed
You took the dishes and the car
And you broke my trust
And you took advantage of my heart
And you left me there
With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches
Now i found the strength to burn your memory down
Oh, at least you left the matches
Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes
Thank god you left the matches

8. _ Roamin' Love
(sammy kershaw)
Well you broke my heart
Then you said goodbye
You didn't stick around long
Enough to see me cry
I tried to get you on the phone
But you were long gone
Guess i'll just spend a whole bunch
Of nights sittin' all alone
Time and time again
I would let you back in
After foolin' around with
Some of my old friends
You thought it didn't show
And i would never know
That you were up to no good
Every time you walked out the door
You've been playin' with my heart
From the very start
Well we should've had a thing
They couldn't pull apart
You kept me standing in line
For a long long time
Just waitin' for you roamin' love
That should have been all mine
You've been playin' with my heart
From the very start
Well we should've had a thing
They couldn't pull apart
You kept me standing in line
For a long long time
Just waitin' for you roamin' love
That should have been all mine
You kept me standing in line
For a long long time
Just waitin' for you roamin' love
That should have been all mine
Just waitin' for you roamin' love
That should have been all mine

9. _ Thank God You're Gone
(sammy kershaw/mike fornes)
Well i really look a mess
Ever since you left i guess
And the grass outside needs mowin'
Laundry's stacked up three foot tall
But i don't even care at all
And i don't know where i'm goin'
Thank god you're gone
So you don't see me fall apart
Pickin' up the pieces of my shattered broken heart
When you left me, my world came down
It's a good thing you're not around to see
I'm really not that strong
Thank god you're gone
Well they took all my things today
Even hauled my truck away
And the vines died that grew our roses
Don't know if it will ever end
Seems like i can't find a friend
I find a door and it just closes, so...
Thank god you're gone
So you don't see me fall apart
Pickin' up the pieces of my shattered broken heart
When you left me, my world came down
It's a good thing you're not around to see
I'm really not that strong
Thank god you're gone
Thank god you're gone
So you don't see me fall apart
Pickin' up the pieces of my shattered broken heart
When you left me, my world came down
It's a good thing you're not around to see
I'm really not that strong
Thank god you're gone
Thank god you're gone
Thank god you're gone

10. _ Love Of My Life
(keith stegall/dan hill)
You are the love of my life
And you are the reason i'm alive
And baby baby baby
When i think of how you saved me
I go crazy
I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness
And i know i know i know
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're all i can't resist
And i need to tell you
The first time i held you
I knew you are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'til you came and saved me from myself
Now all i really know
Is i need you
And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that i cry
And baby baby baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes
As we stand together
I promise forever
'til the day that i die
You are the love of my life
I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'til you came and saved me from myself
Now all i really know
Is i need you
You are the love of my life
You are the reason i'm alive

11. _ Shootin' The Bull (in An Old Cowtown)
(monty criswell/michael white)
Me and junior, sunny and steve hangin' at the fillin' station
And drinkin' cokes out by the grease rack a week before graduation
Telling lies 'bout the girls we knew perpetuating backseat legends
Four years worth of near misses too numberous for me to mention
Shootin' the bull in an old cowtown
Watching grass grow as the sun goes down
Cruising fridays nights at the dairy queen
Driving 'round and 'round
Shootin' the bull in an old cowtown
I got tired of sitting around chewing on the same old stories
And i decided the girl next door wasn't enough to hold me
I left town on the 4th of july and caught a glimpse in my rearview
Mirror
Of junior, steve, and sunny at the gas station
Lookin' like a permanant fixture
Shootin' the bull in an old cowtown
Watching grass grow as the sun goes down
Better be careful were you take a step, keep one eye on the ground
Shootin' the bull in an old cowtown
Well i took a long gander at the high rise world
And life on the big city streets
It's folks talking on the corner and gabbing on the streets
When i think about it all well i'd much rather be
Shootin' the bull in an old cowtown
Watching grass grow as the sun goes down
While life goes by at a much slower pace
Than the speed of sound
Shootin' the bull in an old cowtown
Shootin' the bull in an old cowtown
