1. _ Woman (Sensuous Woman)

2. _ Let It Rain
Storm clouds risin', flash of lightning
Rattles that ole porch swing
Window open, curtains dancing
Just you and me
As the thunder rolls on we'll just hold on
'Neath the light of this candle flame
Oh this is perfect, what a night
Let it rain
Let your love pour down all around
Let it fill my heart, let it flood this house
Let the world outside, just wash on by
We'll just lay right here and hold on tight
Let it rain
Old man weather had it together
When he planned this night
From out of the blue he set the mood
And turned out the lights
And just when we thought the storm was over
Here it comes again
So lay back down in these arms
Let it rain
Let your love pour down all around
Let it fill my heart, let it flood this house
Let the world outside, just wash on by
We'll just lay right here and hold on tight
Let it rain

3. _ It's Not Over (If I'm Not Over You)
You can tell everyone love is over and done
You can pack all your things and go
You can lie to yourself and say there's nothing else
But there's something I think you should know
Chorus
(And) It's never really over even though you say we're through
You may be over me but can't you see It's not over if I'm not over you
There's not much I can do if it's over for you
I'll just wish you the best when you leave
But you've played such a part in my life and in my heart
You'll always be a part of me
Repeat Chorus
You may be over me but can't you see
It's not over if I'm not over you

4. _ Wrong Place, Wrong Time
It was a girl's night out, I was sittin' at home
When brother-in-law called me on the phone
He said Son, let's you and me go steppin' out
I found a place the girls know nothing about
Well, I knew when we crossed that county line
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time
A mountain of a man was takin' money outside
I saw a line of Harley's and some four-wheel drives
I said brother-in-law, I think we better steer clear
Don't tell me that you really want to go in here
I ain't a fortune teller, but I kinda got a vibe
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time
Wrong place, wrong time
Lord, I must be outta my mind
If we ever get out of this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives
I was mindin' my business sittin' on a stool
Brother-in-law was actin' like a fool
He had a tattooed lady out on the dance floor
And they were doin' a dance I'd never seen before
Then the bartender said that's the bouncer's wife
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time
Wrong place, wrong time
Lord, I must be outta my mind
If we ever get out of this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives
That mountain of a man came runnin' inside
The tattooed lady pulled a switch-blade knife
I thought Lord have mercy, we've reached the end
When the local police came and hauled us in
We were standing there in front of that night court judge
There was sixteen dollars between the two of us
I said judge I'd rather spend my life in jail
Then to have to call home to make my bail
He said four hundred dollars and you're gonna pay the fine
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time
Wrong place, wrong time
Lord, I must be outta my mind
If we ever get out of this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time

5. _ Brother Jukebox
Brother Jukebox, Sister Wine,
Mother Freedom, Father Time.
Since she left me by my self,
you're the only family I've got left.
I go down to that same old cafe,
where I try to wash my troubles away.
I'm still down and I'm still alone.
But it means staying home all night long.
Brother Jukebox, Sister Wine,
Mother Freedom, Father Time.
Since she left me by my self,
you're the only family I've got left.
I go home and I climb that old stairway
and I tell myself tomorrow's a new day.
But I know I'll just go out again,
spend my time with my new next of kin.
Brother Jukebox, Sister Wine,
Mother Freedom, Father Time.
Since she left me by my self,
you're the only family I've got left.
Brother Jukebox, Sister Wine,
Mother Freedom, Father Time.
Since she left me by my self,
you're the only family I've got left.
You're the only family I've got left.
You're the only family I've got left.

6. _ She Dreams
Thirty years today she's been upon this earth
And she can't help but wonder what it's all been worth
She swears she loves those kids and she doesn't mind that load
But there ain't much conversation with a three-year-old
She's trapped inside these walls
A prisoner in this fine suburban home...so
She dreams she dreams
He'll come home from work and carry her away
And he'll see she needs
The man she's still in love with when she dreams
And he's proud of his work and the ladder that he's climbed
But from that high-rise office he can't hear her cry
Ringing telephones and decisions to be made
Even when he gets home he's so far away
Then he drifts off to sleep
And she enters her world of make believe
She dreams she dreams
He'll come home from work and carry her away
And he'll see she needs
The man she's still in love with when she dreams

7. _ Trouble
You're gonna get me into trouble
I knew it right off the bat
You're gonna get me into trouble
If you keep lookin' like that
Well, I may be alone, but there's someone at home
I just know I'm makin' a mistake
A woman like you walks in a place like this
You can almost hear the promises break
You're gonna make me need an alibi
You're gonna make me have to watch my back
You're gonna make me have to tell a bunch of lies
You're gonna make me have to cover my tracks
Well, I told her I wouldn't, I thought I couldn't
Now I'm so ashamed
When I look at you, that's all that I can do
To think about what's-her-name
You're gonna get me into trouble
I knew it right off the bat
You're gonna get me in trouble
If you keep lookin' like that
Don't look like that, baby...no, no, no, no
You're gonna mix my emotions
And you're gonna tangle my net
You're gonna make me do somethin'
That I'm afraid I won't regret
I may be alone, but there's someone at home
I just know I'm makin' a mistake
A woman like you walks in a place like this
You can almost hear the promises break
You're gonna get me in trouble
You're gonna get me into trouble
You know you're gonna get me, you know you're gonna get me,
You know you're gonna get me in trouble, now don't ya?

8. _ It Wouldn't Hurt To Have Wings
Don't get me wrong, I'm doin' alright
Can't you see I'm okay
I'm not at home all alone every night
I'm out there dancin' old memories away
[Chorus]
But it wouldn't hurt to have wings to lift me above
All the pain of the past and your mind-wreckin' love
They say time can fly like a magical thing
But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings
I don't see things like love anymore
The rose-colored glasses are gone
I won't be fooled like I was before
I'm learnin' now how to fly on my own
[Chorus]
I'm gonna fly like an eagle and rise above it all
[Chorus:Repeat x2]

9. _ I Just Wanted You To Know
Are you alone, can you talk to an old friend
Right or wrong, I had to hear your voice again
Unwritten law, protocol
Says to leave the past alone
I just wanted you to know
Sometimes driving home at night
I let your memory take control
And you're sitting by my side
I turn up the radio
And cruise down old route 59
And girl it's solid gold, well, I'll let you go
I just wanted you to know
Through the vine, I heard your life has turned out well
As for mine, you know it's really had to tell
'Cause now and then what might have been
Interfaces with what might be
Please don't cry, I'll say goodbye
And I won't call you anymore

10. _ Down In Tennessee
I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
You know she always thought pretty well of me
She said that the wedding went fine
And you were up in New York on your honeymoon
Tonight I'm down, in Tennessee
I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up
But I don't have anyone to blame but me
I had it all for a while but like everything else
I messed it up
Tonight I'm down, in Tennessee
It's blue tonight and gettin' bluer
But I'm in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can't see things ever looking up for me
I'm so down, in Tennessee
I hope you're happy with him, he's a lucky man
I hope he gives you that home and family
I just want to say if by chance you are ever this way, look me up
I'll be down, in Tennessee
It's blue tonight and getting bluer
I'm in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can't see things ever looking up for me
I'm so down, in Tennessee
I'm so down, in Tennessee
I'm gonna be down,
in Tennessee

11. _ Ol' Country
City sun goes down at night
Makin' way for neon lights
Country boy is looking at the moon
City girl is dressed just right
She may stay out late tonight
Country boy just plowed today 'til noon
[Chorus:]
From Birmingham to Ohio
How they met nobody knows
Every now and then they get together
She used to want to climb the walls
She'd never really been loved at all
Not until ol' country came to town
He's the first one too the room
Ice and drinks will be up soon
Everything is perfect when she walks in
They kiss and hold each other tight
They know what's in store tonight
Thery're not someplace they have never been
[Chorus]
She used to want to climb the walls
She'd never really been loved at all
Not until ol' country came to town

12. _ Too Cold At Home
Well it sure feels good to come in here,
And just pull up a seat.
A frosty mug of a cool one,
Helps to beat the heat.
These old dog days of summer,
Lord, I'll be glad when they're gone.
It's too hot to fish, and too hot for golf,
And too cold at home.
Well that baseball game on TV,
Takes me back to when I was a kid.
We proudly wore those uniforms,
Just like the Dodger's did.
Yeah, we won a few and lost a few,
And for me it still goes on.
It's too hot to fish, and too hot for golf,
And too cold at home.
Well, I only planned on one or two,
I might stay for three.
If that good looking thing in the corner,
Keeps smiling back at me.
It's so easy not to care,
'Bout what's right or what's wrong.
It's too hot to fish, and too hot for golf,
And too cold at home.
Well, I only planned on one or two,
I may stay for three.
If that good looking thing in the corner,
Keeps smiling back at me.
It's so easy not to care,
'Bout what's right or what's wrong.
It's too hot to fish, and too hot for golf,
And too cold at home.
It's too hot to fish, and too hot for golf,
And too cold at home.

13. _ Wherever You Are
Once in a lifetime, love comes along
And I know it's you that I'm waiting on
And that sweet promise of our first kiss
Keeps me hanging on, through times like this
So wherever you are, I'm thinking of you
I wonder if you're thinking of me, too
There's only so long, time can keep up apart
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
And know that I love you, wherever you are
Can't say I know what you look like
But you're in my heart, you're on my mind
And I feel your love deep down in my soul
When I finally find you, I'll just know
So wherever you are, I'm thinking of you
I wonder if you're thinking of me, too
There's only so long, time can keep up apart
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
And know that I love you, wherever you are
So until we meet, keep me in your heart
Keep wishing upon that same ol' star
And know that I love you, wherever you are

14. _ It's a Little Too Late
Well, early this morning it dawned on me
The kind of man she needed me to be
She made a list and laid it there beside me on the bed
Now what I should'a done keep's runnin' through my head
Oh, I should'a done this and I should'a done that
I should'a been there, then she'd a never left
I should'a been hangin' on every word she ever had to say
It's a little too late, she's a little too gone
She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong
Now would be the time to change but it's a little too late
Last night I came home at a quarter till three
And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me
I thought she finally realized not to worry I'd be home
Then I realized this mornin' she was gone
Oh, I should'a done this and I should'a done that
I should'a been there, then she'd a never left
I should'a been hangin' on every word she ever had to say
But it's a little too late, she's a little too gone
She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong
Now would be the time to change but it's a little too late
But it's a little too late, she's a little too gone
She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong
Now would be the time to change but it's a little too late
Right now would be the time to change but it's a little too late

15. _ Thank God For Believers
Last night I came home again
Three sheets to the wind
And broke the promise I swore I'd never break
And it came as no surprise
To see the hurt in her eyes
Or the bible on the table where she prayed
This time I thought for sure she was good as gone
But she just wiped the tears away and put some coffee on
I don't know why she even hangs around
After all the hell I've put her through
And the times I've let her down
She has more faith in me than anyone has ever found
Heaven knows how much I need her
Thank God for believers
She says, ? Boy, I still love you ?
Oh she's stronger than the ninety proof
I sent coursing through my veins
She says, ?Don't give up the fight
Before long you'll get it right ?
I pray to God someday I feel the same
Sunday morning beside her in the pew
Through blood shot eyes I try to see her point of view
I don't know why she even hangs around
After all the hell I've put her through
And the times I've let her down
She has more faith in me than anyone has ever found
Heaven knows how much I need her
Thank God for believers

16. _ I Don't Want To Miss a Thing
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you
And I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what your dreaming
Wondering if it's me your seeing
And then I kiss your eyes, and thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you
In this moment forever
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you
And I don't want to miss a thing
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
Well, I just want to be with you, right here with you
Just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you
And I don't want to miss a thing

17. _ It Sure is Monday
With the alarm clock ting a ling a ringin' in my head,
I woke up dog tired, beat down half dead.
Tryin' to recover from a another wild weekend,
chuggin' down the coffee when I should've been sleepin'
Well, it sure its Monday, isn't it now.
Gotta get myself through the week some how.
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday.
Oh, I got to the job site at a quarter past nine
And somehow I stayed awake until lunch time.
Then I caught a little nap, stretched out in the truck bed,
My feet still twitchin' to the music in my head.
It sure is Monday, ain't it the truth?
I partied too hardy, now I'm payin' my dues.
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
But's it's all over now and it sure is Monday.
Well, it sure its Monday, isn't it now.
Gotta get myself through the week some how.
I had a ball Friday, saturday and Sunday.
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday.
Well, it sure is Monday.
yeah, it's all over now and it sure is Monday.
It sure is Monday, ain't it a sin?
I gotta work my way through the week again.
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday

18. _ Gonna Get a Life
Gotta find somethin' to ease my mind
Gotta get it off of you
You tear at my heart strings one more time
With what you're puttin' me through
I'm not much on hangin' around
Where I'm not wanted at all
I'm not gonna be your love sick clown
Waitin' for your beck and call
I'm gonna get a life
That's what I'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like I should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
This'll be the last time you spin your wheels
Leaving like a maniac
You don't care about the way I feel
There's no need in comin' back
I'm gonna get a life
That's what I'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like I should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
Yeah, I'm gonna get a life
Before the gettin's done
I'm gonna get a life
That's what I'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like I should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
I'm gonna get a life
Before the gettin's done

19. _ Goin' Through the Big D
Six short months we went together,
decided it should be forever.
Two paychecks were better than one.
A diamond ring, it was done.
Bought her a house like I said I would
in a subdivided neighborhood.
The fuse got short and the nights got long.
It was over, long gone before I knew I was headed to
I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas.
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us.
I got the jeep and she got the palace.
I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas.
Things like this are never final.
I'm still paying on the vinyl
flooring in the laundry room;
it's multi-colored, water proof.
It's a little bit tough to face my friends,
the ones that said that I jumped
in the river of love a little too soon.
That was August, and this is June
and it's a diff'rent tune.
I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas.
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us.
I got the jeep and she got the palace.
I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas.
I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas.
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us.
I got the jeep and she got the
two bedroom mortgage is due, siding light blue, palace.
I'm goin' through the Big D and don't mean Dallas.
I'm goin' through the Bid D and don't mean Dallas.

20. _ I Might Even Quit Lovin' You
Ever since you told me we were through
I've been down, I've been down
The love you said I'd find to take your place
Never came around, never came around
But one of these days I'll stand on my own
And I'll turn this bleeding heart into stone
Gonna reach way down inside
And find a brand new will to live
Got plans to forget about
The way you made me feel
Gonna walk outside one night
And turn your memory loose
And when I do, I might even quit loving you
And when I do, I might even quit loving you
There was a time I thought I knew for certain
You'd come home, you'd come home
But judging from the nights I've spent without you
I was wrong, I was wrong
The time has finally come to face the truth
There's only one thing left I can do
Gonna reach way down inside
And find a brand new will to live
Got plans to forget about
The way you made me feel
Gonna walk outside one night
And turn your memory loose
And when I do, I might even quit loving you
And when I do, I might even quit loving you
