1. _ I Guess You Get Used To Somebody
(tom shapiro, steve bogard)
I thought i felt you touch my cheek this morning
But i must've been dreaming
And in the middle of the night without a warning
I thought i heard you breathing
Me and my so-called independence
I've got this loneliness that's so relentless
I guess you get used to somebody
Kinda like having them around
I guess you get used to the way they make you happy
Bring you up when you're feeling down
I never dreamed when i was letting you go that
I would wake up and miss you this much
I guess you get used to somebody, i guess you get used to being loved
I kinda miss those rambling conversations
Where we'd talk about nothing
The way you always made me laugh at my frustrations
Baby that was something
I should've been careful what i wished for
'cause i've got my freedom and so much more
I guess you get used to somebody
Kinda like having them around
I guess you get used to the way they make you happy
Bring you up when you're feeling down
I never dreamed when i was letting you go that
I would wake up and miss you this much
I guess you get used to somebody, i guess you get used to being loved
I never dreamed when i was letting you go that
I would wake up and miss you this much
I guess you get used to somebody
I guess you get used to being loved
I guess you get used to somebody
I guess you get used to being loved

2. _ Angry All The Time
(with back up by faith hill)
(bruce robison)
Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife with four good kids
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives
And i'm not old but i'm getting a whole lot older every day
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy
I've got to get away
The reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
An i understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
Our boys are strong now the spittin image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
And i remember every time i said i'd never leave
But what i can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And i understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
And you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
Twenty years have came and went since i walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one i was before
And god it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone
An sometimes i don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
The reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And i understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time

3. _ Angel Boy
(danny orton)
My mother said there's only one way
A sweet angel boy, narrow and straight
Timing his past, teachings they fade
Now their angel boy has gone astray
I've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can i still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have i gone too far now
Have i lost my wings
I found a priest, i spoke my mind
Asked if i'd sinned one too many times
He said "my son, you're only a man"
Then i said, "sir, you don't understand"
I've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can i still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have i gone too far now
Have i lost my wings
God help us all for what we have done
We've lost our way, we can't find the son
We make our beds, we seal our fate
Is there still time, or is it too late
We've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now
Have we lost our wings
We've felt the hand of the devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now
Have we lost our wings
Have we lost our wings

4. _ Unbroken
(holly lamar, annie roboff)
How i ever lived and breathed before you loved me, i don't recall
If i walked around at all, it was in bits and pieces
Of a jagged heart
You kissed me and every piece went back in place, every pain got erased
You held me up to the light
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And i never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When i see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
If i doubted the power of love, baby now i understand
I thank god for every day i wake up to the soft touch
Of your magic hands
In this world sometimes the only thing that's real is the way you make me feel
Babe, the changes day and night
I swear it's life
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And i never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When i see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
I still see the night, i fell into your eyes
And when we made love it felt like the first time
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And i never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When i see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
When i see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken
I'm unbroken, oh yeah
I'm unbroken
No one ever left me out in the rain
Cold words still remain unspoken
And i never got lost, spent years in the dark
You're here, now my heart's unbroken
When i see your smile fill my soul again
I'm unbroken

5. _ Smiling
(bill luther, aimee mayo, chris lindsey, marv green)
The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream
Just another fantasy for sale
Telling me what i need, what i should do, who i should be
That stuff don't matter to me at all
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling
Guru man on my tv set, selling the secrets to happiness
1-800-change-your-life-today
Dreams, i've got my own; i ain't looking for a yellow-brick-road
I'm just gonna go my own way
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling
Smiling (smiling), smiling (smiling)
The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling
I'm still smiling, gotta keep on smiling
I'm still smiling

6. _ Cowboy In Me
(craig wiseman, jeffrey steele, al anderson)
I don't know why i act the way i do
Like i ain't got a single thing to lose
Sometimes i'm my own worst enemy
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
I got a life that most would love to have
But sometimes i still wake up fightin' mad
At where this road i'm heading down might lead
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone i sometimes get
The things i've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror when i don't like what i see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone i sometimes get
The things i've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror when i don't like what i see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
Girl i know there's times you must have thought
There ain't a line you've drawn i haven't crossed
But you set your mind to see this love on through
I guess that's just the cowboy in you
We ride and never worry about the fall
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all

7. _ Telluride
(troy verges, brett james)
When i was nineteen i threw my stuff in the car
I headed up to the rockies, got a job at this bar
Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by
On the tips from the rich kids, there on daddy's dime
But when i saw her walk in one night
I knew that i'd be all right in
Telluride, the snow falling down
I was waking up in that sleepy little town
In her eyes my world came so alive
I never will forget the moment she arrived
In telluride
We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire
Casting shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire
Confessing all our secrets and laughing out loud
So high up on that mountain, i thought we'd never come down
It was a dream we were living in
And i was the happiest i'd ever been in
Telluride, the snow falling down
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
In telluride
Telluride, whoa-oh-oh
It ended just like a movie scene
And i had to play the part
Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave
And me with the frozen heart
In telluride, the snow falling down
Standing there alone in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget the day she said goodbye
In telluride, the snow falling down
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
In her eyes, my world came so alive
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
In telluride

8. _ Forget About Us
(mark collie)
I'm gonna drive on out to the river tonight
Find a quiet spot, turn on my parking lights
I'm gonna drink some beers, try to catch a buzz
Turn my radio up and forget about us
I'm gonna lay me down on the hood of this car
Make another wish upon a falling star
I'm gonna think again about the way it was
I'm gonna close my eyes and forget about us
I know it won't be easy but i've got a plan
To just let my memory let go of your hand
I'm gonna miss your touch
But i know i must forget about us
And when the morning sun burns across my face
I'll put my shirt back on, get up and walk away
I'm gonna climb my frame onto a greyhound bus
Take a little blue pill and forget about us
I know it won't be easy but i've got a plan
To just let my memory let go of your hand
I'm gonna miss your touch
But i know i must forget about us
(spoken):
By the time i get to phoenix, i won't know your name
Those soft green eyes, your warm skin
And the way you say "good morning"
I'll be alright

9. _ Things Change
(aimee mayo, bill luther, chris lindsey, marv green)
They wouldn't let him play the opry
With whiskey on his breath
And it didn't take'em long
To figure out what they missed
He went down that lost highway
Underneath the purple sky
A legend disappeared before his time
Things change
They said he was the devil
Dressed in gold leme
The way he shook his hips
Out there on that stage
But before that faithful day
He left tennessee
All of them were calling him the king
Things change
Well they like to call them hippies
Outlaws with guitars
But they brought a little poetry
To the honky tonks and bars
They might've got a little crazy
They might have flew a little too high
Somewhere somebody's playing their song tonight
Things change
(don't you know things change)
Now some say it's too country
Some say it's a little rock n roll
But it's just good music
If you can feel it in your soul
It doesn't really matter
It's always been the same
Life goes on
Things change
Bridge:
Don't you know they change
Oh, things change
As long as this world is turning
Things are gonna change
Gonna keep on changing
Gonna change

10. _ Take Me Away
(steve bogard, jeff stevens)
My body burns like there's a desert deep in me
A thirsty soul so unsatisfied
But there you are like a river to the sea
The one chance i have to change my life
(a)darling, take me away from (e) here
Make it seem like we're a million miles away
Another time, another place
(a)make me a different (e) man
Move me farther than i've ever been before
Show me that there's something more
Sometimes i feel like i'm trapped inside myself
Spinning wheels up and down, round and round
Going nowhere just like everybody else
With no touch, no sight, no sound
(a)but you could take me away from (e) here
Make it seem like we're a million miles away
Another time, another place
(a)make me a different (e) man
Move me farther than i've ever been before
Show me that there's something more
Give me hopes and dreams to fill my head
Push my heart so i can fly again
Take me away from here
Make it seem like we're a million miles away
Another time, another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than i've ever been before
Show me that there's something more
Take me away from here
Take me away from here
Take me away from here

11. _ Let Me Love You
(aimee mayo, bill luther, chris lindsey, marv green)
Sometimes i close my eyes
And imagine you're with me
Chasing passion into the night
All tangled in a dream.
Oh if you could see my heart
The way i feel inside
You would know just how far
I'm willing to go to get to you
There is nothing i won't do.
Show me what its like to lose control
Free the desire in your soul
Oh oh let me love you.
Let me take you to a place like no where else
Show you the things you never felt
Oh oh let me love you.
Oh i want to taste your kiss
Be the reason for your smile
Touch the magic on your skin
Be the one that drives you wild.
Oh if you could read my mind
You'd know you're everything i need
You'd see yourself through my eyes
You may understand what i'm going through
Just how much i want you.
Show me what its like to lose control
Free the desire in your soul
Oh oh let me love you.
Let me take you to a place like no where else
Show you the things you never felt
Oh oh let me love you.
Let me love you.
Let me love you!
Show you what its like to lose control
Free the desire in your soul
Oh oh let me love you.
Let me take you to a place like no where else
Show you the things you never felt
Oh oh let me love you.
Oh i love you.
Show you what its like to lose control
Free the desire in your soul
Oh oh let me love you.
Yeah baby.
Let me take you to a place like no where else
Show you the things you never felt
Oh oh let me love you.
Let me love you.
Let me love you.
Let me love you.
Let me love you.

12. _ Set This Circus Down
(bill luther, josh kear)
Sometimes this road, it just keeps winding
Round and round and back again
But you've always kept me smiling
Over every hill, round every bend
Baby you're the one smiling with me when the sun comes up
I got the wheel, you got the map and that's enough
And we go rolling down this highway
Chasing all our crazy dreams
I've gone your way and you've gone my way
And everywhere in between
One of these days we'll find a piece of ground
Just outside of some sleepy little town
And set this circus down
Sometimes i lie awake just thinking
Of all the horizons we have seen
And as another day is sinking
I thank god you're here with me
'cause baby you're the one laughing with me when the sun goes down
Living on faith and holding on tight to the love we found
And we go rolling down this highway
Chasing all our crazy dreams
I've gone your way and you've gone my way
And everywhere in between
One of these days we'll find a piece of ground
Just outside of some sleepy little town
And set this circus down
And set this circus down
Maybe one of these days, gonna set this circus down
Set this circus down

13. _ Why We Said Goodbye
(billy kirsch, tom douglas)
I remember sunday mornings walking on the beach
And that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats
The hours of the tide chart
The way the sunlight dance upon your face
That antique roller coaster you just had to ride
I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes
The color and the detail
Just like it was yesterday
And i remember how you held me the night my father died
I didn't have to tell you
I just broke down and cried
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
And i just can't remember why we said goodbye
Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit
I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is
The sails out in the harbor
Are searching for the wind
I just had to call you, i had to hear your voice
And tell you i still love you we still have a choice
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
And i just can't remember why we said goodbye
Everything i do
Leads back to you
I know i just can't let us go
There must have been a reason, but i can't remember now
I know if i could hold you we could work it out
You're sewn into the fabric the pieces of my life
And girl let's give it one more try
Cause i just can't remember why we said goodbye

14. _ Grown Men Don't Cry
(steve seskin, tom douglas)
I pulled into the shopping center
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
Like ice cream melting they embraced
Years of bad decisions runnin' down her face
All mornin' i'd been thinkin' my life's so hard
And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car
I wanted to tell him it would be ok
But i got just got in my suburban and i drove away
But i don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
Keep having this dream about my old man
I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand
We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around
So many things i wanna say to him
But i just placed a rose on his grave, and i talk to the wind
But i don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
I'm sittin' here with my kids and my wife
And everything that i hold dear in my life
We say grace and thank the lord
Got so much to be thankful for
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says
"i haven't had my story yet."
And everything weighin' on my mind disappears just like that
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says,
"i love you dad"
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
And i don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
