1. _ Ten Feet Away
Alone at a corner table,
She was watching me watching her.
I was singin' about an old flame burning,
She was hanging on to every word.
I was pouring out my feelings,
She was pouring out the wine.
Through the smoke and the beer,
It was perfectly clear,
That we were touching each others minds.
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.
I just knew my closing song would do it,
I knew that I was heaven bound.
I could tell she was moved, but before I was through.
This stranger walked up and set down.
He was trying his best to impress her,
But she never took her eyes off me.
When he got up and left, I said to myself...
Woh-o-woh what a night this will be.
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.

2. _ It's All Coming Back To Me Now
That innocent look in her green eyes
Sparkle when she starts to laugh
Memories of her start to fill up my mind
Like pieces of torn photographs
It's all come'n back to me now
I thought I'd forget her somehow
But my mind can't forget what
My heart won't allow
It's all come'n back to me now
That desperate look in her green eyes
When she said good bye in the rain
It tears me to pieces
I have to recall
How I caused her all of that pain
And its all come'n back to me now
I thought I'd forget her somehow
But my mind can't forget what
My heart won't allow
It's all come'n back to me now

4. _ Lucky Dog
I can't stand the collar
Makes it hard to swallar
Where you go I'll foller,
Hey, I'm a lucky dog!
I can't get used to gettin'
all this love and pettin',
You're about to spoil me rotten,
Hey, I'm a lucky dog.
I used to be a homeless hound,
Runnin' round, up and down
every street in town,
When I found you baby,
One kiss drove me crazy,
There ain't no if's or maybe's,
Hey, I'm a lucky dog.
Sets my tail to waggin',
My tongue is almost draggin',
I just can't keep from braggin',
Hmm, I'm a lucky dog.
I used to be a homeless hound,
Runnin' round, up and down
every street in town,
When I found you baby,
One kiss drove me crazy,
Ain't no if's or maybe's,
Hey, I'm a lucky dog.

5. _ Honky Tonk Heart
Hey, I still got a honky-tonk heart
I still drink a beer or two while leanin' on the bar
When I'm steppin' out with you, I'm a two-stepping fool
Hey I still got a honky-tonk heart
Honey, yeah this is me and I'm a-callin' from work to see
If my sweet little sugar wants to go out dancin' tonight
I've been cooped up in this big high rise
And I'm so glad it's Friday night
I can't wait for the thrill of the music and the neon lights
Hey, I still got a honky-tonk heart
I still drink a beer or two while leanin' on the bar
When I'm steppin' out with you, I'm a two-stepping fool
Hey I still got a honky-tonk heart
Ain't nothin' like a Texas mood
Twin fiddles and an old saloon
And cowboys whirlin' girls around the floor
Yeah we'll be talking all night long
There's no such thing as too much fun
I guarantee we'll be the last ones out the door
Hey, I still got a honky-tonk heart
I still drink a beer or two while leanin' on the bar
When I'm steppin' out with you, I'm a two-stepping fool
Hey I still got a honky-tonk heart
Yeah I still got a honky-tonk heart

6. _ When You Say Nothing At All
Its amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain,
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
what's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

7. _ Quittin' Time
It's quitin' time, quittin' time
Time to disassemble this assembly line
Lord, I love punchin' out like I hate punchin' in
Hot damma lama lama, it's quittin' time again
I'm so tired of makin' whatever it is that we make
With some fool tellin' me when I can take a break
They're breakin' my spirit and makin' my body ache
But I'm just about to make the great escape
It's quitin' time, quittin' time
Time to disassemble this assembly line
Lord, I love punchin' out like I hate punchin' in
Hot damma lama lama, it's quittin' time again
I'll be leaving this factory at the speed of a neon light
Gonna meet my lady at the [?] lounge tonight
When a band cuts loose I know she's gonna hold me tight
Everything I want a gonna be alright
It's quitin' time, quittin' time
Time to disassemble this assembly line
Lord, I love punchin' out like I hate punchin' in
Hot damma lama lama, it's quittin' time again

8. _ Hard Livin'
Well you can call out the sheriff and the highway patrol
Cause there's a fool on the road careenin' out of control
Hard liquor fast women I just can't let 'em be
Lord I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
Well I keep my motor runnin' got my beer on the ice
And my idea of heaven is a pair of dice
Seven come on eight set this poor boy free
Lord I wish hard livin' didn't come so easy for me
Bright lights Saturday night I had a couple and I'm feeling alright
My cupcake she can wiggle and shake spend more money than anybody make
So give me a shot of that octane juice
You know where ain't no cure for the honky tonk blues
And if they come up with somethin' I'll develop an immunity
And I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me
[ guitar ]
Out on the town just a foolin' around
Hey I got my mind on the lost and found
Step up no need to be shy
All right pretty women you got the ticket to ride
When my tires are flat and I'm out of gas
I promise myself I'll let the next one pass
Lord I wish that a promise didn't break so easily
And I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me
Hey I wish hard livin' didn't come easy for me

9. _ On the Other Hand
On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
And hold you close to me, all night long
There are so many loving things I would love to say to you
And on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong
But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind of someone who couldn't understand
On one hand I could stay and be your lover man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand
In your arms I feel the passion, I thought had died
When I looked into your eyes I found myself
When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive
I've got to hand it to you girl, you're something else
But on the other hand, there's a golden band
To remind of someone who couldn't understand
On one hand I could stay and be your lover man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand
Yes, the reason I must go is on the other hand

13. _ Would These Arms Be In Your Way
Would you like to hear I love you all the time
And if you couldn't turn around without us touching, would you mind
You know there's something missing 'round your waist
Tell me would these arms be in your way
Would you mind another heart beating for you
Two ears that listen, you can talk to
Kisses filled with feeling on your face
Now tell me would these arms be in your way
Would you mind another heart beating for you
Two ears that listen, you can talk to
Kisses filled with feeling on your face
Darlin' tell me would these arms be in your way
Now tell me, would these arms be in your way

14. _ Don't Close Your Eyes
I know you loved him, a long time ago
Even now in my arms, you still want him I know
But darling this time, your memories die
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes
[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy
Darling just once, let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've, been a fool, holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms, knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping someday, that you'll see the light
Let it be tonight and don't close your eyes
[Chorus: x2]
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight,
And don't close your eyes

15. _ Flying Colors
I know you loved him
A long time ago
Even now in my arms
You still want him I know
But darling this time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool
Holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
Knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day
That you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy

Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight

And don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
han you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight

16. _ I Never Go Around Mirrors
I can't stand to see a good man go to waste
One who never combs his hair or shaves his face
A man who leans on wine over love that's told a lie
Oh, it tears me up to see a grown man cry
So I never go around mirrors
I can't stand to see me without you by my side
No, I never go around mirrors
Because I gotta heartache to hide
I can't stand to be where heartaches hang around
It's so easy for the blues to get me down
To see a grown man crawl is more than I can stand
And I look into the eyes of half a man
So I never go around mirrors
I can't stand to see me without you by my side
No, I never go around mirrors
Because I gotta heartache to hide
And it tears me up to see a grown man cry

17. _ I'm No Stranger To the Rain
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me
I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain
But when I get that foggy feeling
When I'm feeling down
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down
I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the 'man' designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
But I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the 'man' designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

18. _ Day In the Life of a Fool
A Day In The Life Of A Fool
Morning comes and I'm alone ...
It's been a year since you've been gone
But it seems like yesterday ,you said goodbye
I'm finding ways to pass the time ,so i wont lose my mind
But my every waking hour I think of you
That's just a day in the life of a fool
The one who's holding out for only you
Knowing all along your love for me is true
It's just a day in the life of a fool
You would think I'd learn by now , to forget it all some how .
But my favorite memories were made with you
So every moment that I have , I live them in the past
Even though theres no way back to where we were
Thats just a day in the life of a fool
The one who's holding out for only you
Knowing all along your love for me is true
It's just a day in the life of a fool
It's just a day in the life of a fool

19. _ Some Old Side Road
A high road, low road, some old side road
Really don't matter to me it gets me back to you
Jet plane, fast train, bus in a hard rain, any ol' way you please
If it gets me back to you
Young man, big shot, gotta see what's out there
Leave town, hung around, what the hell does he care
Corner park, broken heart, girl in her home town
Porch light every night, hoping that he comes around
A high road, low road, some old side road
Really don't matter to me if it gets me back to you
Hitchhike, motor bike, any ol' way you like, crawling on my knees
If it gets me back to you
Somewhere out there the world's on his shoulder
Each night the same stuff the world's getting colder
Dreams die slow as a boy becomes a man
High road, low road, any way he can
A high road, low road, some old side road
Really don't matter to me
If it gets me back to you
Jet plane, fast train, bus in a hard rain, any ol' way you please
If it gets me back to you
Hitchhike motor bike, any ol' way you like, crawling on my knees
If it gets me
Oh, a high road low road, some old side road
Really don't matter to me
If it gets me back to you
Jet plane, fast train, bus in a hard rain, any ol' way you please
If it get me back to you
A high road low road, some old side road
A high road low road, some old side road
A high road low road, some old side road

20. _ Miami, My Amy
Everybody talks about the California 'quakes
But the first time I ever felt the earth shake
Was in Miami
When Amy touched me, oh it shook me
I told her I loved her and I wanted to stay
But she said "Be sure, and I'll call you in L.A."
Even in the taxi I could hear my telephone ring
Calling me from
Miami, my Amy
What took you so long? I thought you'd never call
Miami, my Amy
Miami, my Amy loves me after all
Now Amy just called and said "Please come back"
I said "I'm on my way, I ain't even unpacked"
"I want you, I love you", that's all she had to say
Goodbye L.A.
Now once again I'm Miami-bound
Can't wait 'til this plane touches down
'Cause I know my Amy will be waitin'
At that Miami gate, I can't wait
Miami, my Amy
What took you so long? I thought you'd never call
Miami, my Amy
Miami, my Amy loves me after all
Miami, my Amy loves me after all
