1. _ For A Little While
(phil vassar/steve mandile/jerry vandiver)
(track 2 - time 3:33)
Hot sun dancin' on the river
We're sittin on the bank and watch the world go by
Our feet in the water she pressed her lips to mine
We were so long on love but short on time
She could be a honeymoon sweet and a little wild
But she was mine oh, for a little while
And i laugh everytime i start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she let me with a smile
'cause she was mine for a little while
We'd take a ride and head on down to airport road
Put the seats back watch the planes leave town
She always said nobody's strong enough to tie her down
Oh but i wasn't lookin' for that anyhow
I knew she'd leave but i didn't know when
It matters to me now oh but it didn't back then
And i laugh everytime i start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she let me with a smile
'cause she was mine for a little while
I keep seein' pictures now of me and her and those summer nights
My mind fills with her
Oh but it's alright
'cause i laugh everytime i start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she let me with a smile
'cause she was mine for a little while
Yeah she was mine for a little while

2. _ Indian Outlaw
(tommy barnes/gene simmons/john d. loudermilk)
(track 6 - time 3:02)
I'm an indian outlaw
Half cherokee and choctaw
My baby she's a chippewa
She's one of a kind
All my friends call me bear claw
The village cheaftin' is my paw-paw
He gets his orders from my maw-maw
She makes him walk the line
You can find me in my wigwam
I'll be beatin' on my tom-tom
Pull out the pipe and smoke you some
Hey and pass it around
'cause i'm an indian outlaw
Half cherokee and choctaw
My baby she's a chippewa
She's one of a kind
I ain't lookin' for trouble
We can ride my pony double
Make your little heart bubble
Lord like a glass of wine
I remember the medicine man
He caught runnin' water in my hands
Drug me around by my headband
Said i wasn't her kind
'cause i'm an indian outlaw
Half cherokee and choctaw
My baby she's a chippewa
She's one of a kind
I can kill a deer or buffalo
With just my arrow and my hickory bow
From a hundred yards don't you know
I do it all the time
They all gather 'round my teepee
Late at night tryin' to catch a peek at me
In nothin' but my buffalo briefs
I got 'em standin' in line
'cause i'm an indian outlaw
Half cherokee and choctaw
My baby she's a chippewa
She's one of a kind
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die

3. _ Something Like That
(track 9 - time 3:03)
(rick ferrell/keith follese)
It was labor day weekend i was seventeen
I bought a coke and some gasoline
And i drove out to the county fair
When i saw her for the first time
She was standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh, a sailer's sky made a perfect sunset
And that's the day i'll never forget
I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that
Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headed down to new orleans
To meet some friends of mine for mardi gras
When i heard a voice from the past
Comin' from a few rows back
And when i looked, i couldn't believe just what i saw
She said i bet you don't remember me
And i said only every other memory
I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
You were killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that
Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love
Never fades away
I had a barbecue stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin?rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart don |
4. _ My Best Friend
(track 5 - time 4:39)
(aimee mayo/bill luther)
I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin'
So tired of searchin'
'til you walked into my life
It was a feelin'
I'd never known
And for the first time
I didn't feel alone
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime i look at you
I don't know where i'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend, oh yeah
You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much i have
And i still tremble
When we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime i look at you
And i don't know where i'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime i look at you
And i don't know where i'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend
You're my best friend (my best friend)
You're my best friend (my best friend)

5. _ It's Your Love
(stephony smith)
(track 3 - time 3:45)
Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doing all over again
Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think i can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell i'm under
Oh it's your love
Better than i was
More than i am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand
And who i am now
Is who i wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever i'm happy and free
Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think i can keep it all in
And if you asked me why i changed
All i gotta do is say your sweet name
It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell i'm under
Oh it's your love
Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think i can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell i'm under
Oh it's your love
It's your love
It's your love

6. _ Please Remember Me
(track 10 - time 4:55)
(rodney crowell/will jennings)
When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts
You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
'cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And i can see you on the top
You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Remember me when you're out walkin'
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleepin'
And moonlight falls across your floor
When i can't hurt you anymore
You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Please remember me

8. _ Down On The Farm
(jerry laseter/kerry kurt phillips)
(track 4 - time 2:57)
Every friday night there's a steady cloud of dust
That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks
Got old hank cranking way up loud
Got coolers in the back
Tailgates down
There's a big fire burnin' but don't be alarmed
It's just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Ed's been on the tractor ain't seen becky all week
Somebody said they seen 'em heading down to the creek
Farmer johnson's daughters just pulled up in a jeep
Man he knows how to grow 'em if ya know what i mean
Old dave's gettin' loud but he don't mean no harm
We're just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
You can have a lot of fun in a new york minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Well you can come as you are
There ain't no dress code
Just some rural route rules that you need to know
Don't mess with the bull
He can get real mean
Don't forget to shut the gate
Stay out of the beans
If it starts to rainin' will just head to the barn
We're country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
You can have a lot of fun in a new york minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Oh let's get down y'all
Stay out of that hay

9. _ Where The Green Grass Grows
(jess leary/craig wiseman)
(track 1 - time 3:21)
Six lanes
Taillights
Red ants marchin' into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper from a sack
A ninety-nine cent heart attack
I got a poundin' head and an achin' back
And the camel's buried in a big straw stack
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
Well i'm from a map dot
A stop sign on a black top
I caught the first bus i could hop from there
But all this glitter is gettin' dark
There's concrete growin' in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
And there's bars on the corners and bars on my heart
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows

10. _ Don't Take The Girl
(craig martin/larry w. johnson)
(track 8 - time 4:09)
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holdin' a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave her behind
Son i know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind
And johnny said "take jimmy johnson, take tommy thompson, take my best friend bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please don't take the girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm said "if you do what i tell you to, there won't be any harm"
And johnny said "take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please don't take the girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's going to be a little one and she says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
'cause his momma's fading fast and johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please don't take the girl
Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old

11. _ I Like It, I Love It
spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair,
I throwed out my shoulder but i won her that teddy bear.
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear,
I ain't seen the braves play a game all year.
I'm gonna get fired, if i don't get some sleep,
My long lost buddies say i'm gettin' in too deep.
Chorus:
But i like it, i love it, i want some more of it,
I try so hard, i can't rise above it.
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin',
But i like it, i love it, i want some more of it.
My mama and daddy tried to teach me courtesy,
But it never sank in till that girl got a hold of me.
Now i'm holding umbrellas and openin' up doors,
I'm taking out the trash and i'm sweepin' my floors.
Crossin' my fingers, and countin' every kiss,
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this.
Chorus:
Bridge:
Got to wash my truck and dress up
To pick he rup to watch tv.
And she sits down on the sofa,
She'll move a little closer...
She can't get enough of me.

12. _ She Never Lets It Go To Her Heart
Everywhere i go, they're staring at her
Every man i know he wants to have her
I guess i ought to be a jealous man
I look the other way, they're hittin' on her
Every night and every day, they telephone her
They try to get to her but i know they can't
Chorus
She never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart
She walks into the room and everybody watches every move
Hoping she don't love me
I know it by the way they hang around
But they don't realize there's more to her than
What meets the eye that's why i'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now
Repeat chorus
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

13. _ Just To See You Smile
(mark nesler/tony martin)
(track 9 - time 3:33)
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But i was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but i scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving amarillo
Takin' that new job in tennessee
And i quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
'cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears i saw rollin' down your face
And yesterday i knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So i told you that i was happy for you
And given the chance i'd lie again
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile

14. _ Maybe We Should Just Sleep On It
Maybe we should just sleep on it
I got an empty feelin' when that moving van pulled up
It got a little emptier as i watched them fill that truck
And when they carried out your clothes it took my breath away
Now they're headed for that bed
The thought keeps runnin' though my head
Chorus
Baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just don't feel right
So baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight
I'll pay them boys to stop right now
And leave that truck out on the curb
The tv and the phone's packed up
So we won't be disturbed
There's not a light left in this room just a shadow of a doubt
So let's make sure we don't give up
Before we've thought this through enough
Repeat chorus
Baby, maybe, we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just don't feel right
So baby, maybe baby, maybe baby, maybe
We should just sleep on it
Tonight
