1. _ Almost A Memory Now
(dale oliver, dave robbins, van stephenson)
She gets her things together
Puts them by the door
She says there's no love here anymore
I'll never be the same if she walks out
But she's almost a memory
Chorus:
Now
Wish i could turn her heart around
I feel so alone and she's not even gone
She's almost a memory now
She hasn't even left but i know she's gone
She never even said where we went wrong
One thing i know without a doubt
She's almost a memory
Repeat chorus
I feel so alone and she's not even gone
She's almost a memory now
She's almost a memory now
Wish i could turn her heart around

2. _ Always Have, Always Will
(dave robbins)
I used to think that love was just for dreamers
That fate and destiny played no part
But finding you has made me a believer
That we were meant to be right from the start
Before the sun and moon and stars
Were put there in the sky
Before the mountains stood tall
Above this world so high
I loved you then, i love you now
And i'll love you until
Always have, always will
Before the light broke through the dark
You were the candle in my heart
Before the dawn of time
I was yours and you were mine
Before the sun and moon and stars
Were put there in the sky
Before the mountains stood tall
Above this world so high
I loved you then, i love you now
And i'll love you until
Always have, always will
Always have, always will

3. _ Big Guitar
(henry paul, henry gross)
Only one comes 'round every million years
She's a midnight rider on a shooting star
Makes the whole world ring like a big guitar
Well she flagged me down with the devil's sway
It was somewhere down that lost highway
She's a lifeboat on the raging sea
She's the high note in the harmony
She takes away my pain and sorrow
Loves me like there's no tomorrow
This, i can't resist
In my life i realize
I have never known a sweeter kiss
Honey what i missed
Got a piece of heaven right here on earth
And believe me i know what it's worth
She's an island dream on a rainy day
She's a desperado's hideaway
Hey now boys, take a look right here
Only one comes 'round every million years
She's a midnight rider on a shooting star
Makes the whole world ring like a big guitar

4. _ Postmarked Birmingham
(don sampson/phil vassar)
I recognize the writing on the plain white envelope
I've wondered where she'd wind up before she called or wrote
The answer's in a circle through the word 'love' on a stamp
Postmarked birmingham
I'd have bet on california
'cause her sister's in bel aire
Or i could seattle with her mom and dad up there
She never mentioned alabama so i don't understand
Postmarked birmingham
A two-page letter written on
Ramada stationary
Date aprill twenty-two
She asked me not to hate her,
Said she's sorry
But leavin's what she felt she had to do
So the day she left she made it two hundred miles south
Did she settle there, did she mail this note
On her way out of town
What chance is there to find here when the
Only clue i have is
Postmarked birmingham
A two-page letter written on
Ramada stationary
Date aprill twenty-two
She asked me not to hate her,
Said she's sorry
But leavin's what she felt she had to do
Every day down by the mailbox
Standin' on the curb i check
The upper right hand corner
Of every piece of mail i get
Hopin' there's that certain circle
Through the word 'love' on a stamp
Postmarked birmingham

5. _ Ships Of Heaven
(van stephenson)
Don't cry for me when i'm gone
Keep the faith and be strong
'cause through it all i've been blessed
I faced my fears
And i've passed the test
So when you look up in the sky
On a sunny day
Imagine me drifting away
I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
Remember all the times we had
Some were great and some were sad
But you know that in the end
Our love was stronger then when we began
No unforgiven sins and no regrets
Just the times of our lives that we'll
Never forget
I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
On the ships of heaven
I come sailing back to you...

6. _ That's Just About Right
(jeff black)
My old friend lives up in the mountains
He flew up there to paint the world
He says, "even though interpretation's what i count on
This little picture to me seems blurred
Hard lines and the shadows come easy
I see it all just as clear as a bell
I just can't seem to set my easel to please me
I paint my heaven but it looks like hell"
Chorus:
You blue might be gray, your less might be more
Your window to the world might be your own front door
Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night
That's just about right
He says, "man i ain't comin' down until my picture is pefect
And all the wonder is gone from my eyes
Down through my hands and on to the canvas
Still like my vision, but still a surprise"
"real life," he says, "is the hardest impression
It's always movin' so i let it come through"
And that. my friend, i say, is the glory of true independence
Just to do what you do what you do what you do
Repeat chorus
My old friend came down from the mountain
Without even lookin' he found a little truth
You can go through life with the greatest intentions
But you do what you do what you just gotta do
Repeat chrous

7. _ I Need You All The Time
i need a car when i'm drivin', plane when i'm flyin'
A call takes a quater and dime
I need a radio playin', when there's nothin were sayin
And help when i fall a little behind
Extra rest on occasion, holidays or vacations
I need you all the time
Every beat of my heart, every thought in my head
Points straight to you, underlinened in red
Every move i make, every minute of mine
I need you all the time
I need boots when i'm walkin, southern drawl when i'm talkin
And run, when i wanta run wild
A little cash when i'm goin, some freedom for growin
Some preachin to keep me alive
They can build it or dream it, i can take it or leave it
But i need you all the time
Every beat of my heart, every thought in my head
Points straight to you, underlined in red
Every move i make, every mintue of mine
I need you all the time
Every beat of my heart, every thought in my head
Ponits straight to you, underlined in red
Every move i make, every minute of mine
I need you all the time
I need a car when i'm drivin, plane when i'm flyin
A map when there's a city to find
But i need you all the time
Yeeeah,i need you all the time
Whoo,i need you all the time.

8. _ There You Have It
(steve bogard/rick giles)
You're the kind of woman, i've been dreaming of.
But i never thought i could ever say it good enough to win your love
You probably think i'm foolish you probably tell me so
I open up my heart then you're probably going to tell me no, but here i go
I want to give you all i've got inside, i want to love you for the rest of my life
There i've done it.
There i've said it.
There you have it.
I don't regret it.
I give you my love, in a minute, if you want it, come and get it.
There i've done it.
There i've said it.
There you have it.
This is confidential, i never told a soul.
Every time i see you, feel my heart begin to loose control.
And all i know; is i'm feeling something i've never felt.
I want to be with you and nobody else.
There i've done it.
There i've said it.
There you have it.
I don't regret it.
I give you my love, in a minute, if you want it, come and get it.
There i've done it.
There i've said it.
There you have it.
There i've done it.
There i've said it.
There you have it.
I don't regret it.
I give you my love, in a minute, if you want it, come and get it.
There i've done it.
There i've said it.
There you have it.
Oh yah yah yah
There i've done it.
There i've said it.
There you have it.

9. _ It Takes A Woman
(rob crosby/kitty murrah/roger murrah/phillip white)
It takes a dreamer
To get this far from my hometown
A real believer
To look up when things are down
It takes a fool to let a good life fall apart
But, when a man knows something's missing in his heart
It takes a woman
It takes forever
To get beyond the bitter years
And if i ever
If i ever get that far from here
I can look back, and say that i survived
But for a man to really make it in this life
It takes a woman
You can gain the world or lose your soul
But if you don't have someone to hold
You can't feel the victory for defeat
Climb higher than you've ever gone
When you reach the top, you're still alone
Flying high don't make a man complete
It takes a woman
Any fool can let a good life fall apart
But foolish pride can't fill an empty heart
It takes a woman

10. _ Down In Flames
(michael clark, jeff stevens)
No one dreams in this ol' town, no more
They don't look down that windin' road
Wonderin' where it goes
But when i hold you, i can see
All the places it could lead
They say we're crazy, i don't care
We could make it anywhere
Chorus:
Let's ride the wind
Down this old road tonight
Let's pack our dreams
And leave the rest behind
They say love this hot
Can be a dangerous thing
Come on darlin'...
Let's go down in flames
I don't know or care where this road leads
Just as long as at the end
It's you and me
We can feel our hearts, beggin' us to go
If we don't leave now, we'll never know
And if our love should crash and burn
We'll take that chance, for all it's worth
Repeat chrous
So take my hand, you know we're right
Don't look back, just hold on tight
Repeat chorus
Come on darlin'... let's go down in flames

11. _ Goodbye Says It All
(johnny macrae, bobby fischer, charlie black)
It's another back-door sneakin' in
Where you been? midnight
Quiet as a mack truck-lotsa luck
Thinkin' up an alibi
But every light in the house is on
Everything is gone
Chorus:
She left me no chance at redemption
No further exemption
Just a big red "goodbye" is lipstick on the wall
Goodbye says it all
No long explanation
No reconciliation
No let's-talk-it-over number i can call
Goodbye says it all
Goodbye...
She could have thrown a knock-down scream-and-shout
Have-it-out tirade
She could have made it real tough bringing up
All the hell that i raised
But no more wasted words on me
No, she kept short and sweet
Repeat chorus
No more wasted words on me
No, she kept short and sweet
Repeat chorus

12. _ Like There Ain't No Yesterday
(walt aldridge, mark narmore)
I've been livin' my life like a man in chains
Ever since she took her love away
But this is now and that was then
And baby all bad things gotta come to an end
Chorus:
So tonight i'm throwing caution into the wind
Getting down to the business of living again
Back in the saddle and i'm holding the reins
Gonna find someone and love her
Like there ain't no yesterday
Now, it's dark as a dungeon down where i've been
And there ain't no way i'm going back again
I've got my best foot forward on to greener grass
'cause there ain't no future living in the past
Repeat chorus
Out of the ashes, alive and free
No longer a slave to a memory
Got the rest of my life right out in front of me
Repeat chorus

13. _ I Sure Can Smell The Rain
(john jarrard, walt aldridge)
She hasn't done a thing
That really has to mean she's going anywhere
I haven't seen it showing in her eyes
But i swear it must be there
I don't know why i feel it so strong
But i feel it just the same
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But i sure can smell the rain
She'd still say "i love you" if i ask
But she never volunteers
Somehow what she never says
Means more than all the other words i hear
Still she should win an oscar
If she's lying when she says that nothing's changed
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But i sure can smell the rain
Every day i brace myself
To hear the words i'm scared she's gonna say
And every night i thank the lord
Somehow i dodged a bullet one more day
Sometimes there are things a man just knows
That he really can't explain
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But i sure can smell the rain
I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky
But i sure can smell the rain

14. _ Every Once In A While
(henry paul/van stephenson/dave robbins)
When the moon is bright
On a saturday night
There's a thousand stars in the sky
On a winding road her memory flows
She'll face the fact
She wants to go back
Chrous:
She opens her heart to an old memory
She closes her eyes and she smiles
Just ask her if she ever still
Thinks about me
She'll say "every once in a while,
Every once in a while"
She tries to forget
But she hasn't yet
Not a single day goes by
That feeling again reminds of when
I held her tight, it felt so right
Repeat chorus
And every once in a while
She calls my name out loud
And when she thinks about us
She'll face the fact
She wants to go back
Repeat chorus

15. _ I'm Not Strong Enough To Say No
(r.j. lange)
The sign says "do not touch" - you're out of bounds
You're forbidden fruit, don't come around
It says don't make plans 'cause on your hand
Is a promise made to another man
'cause when you're around my defenses go down
Feelings get stronger, looks get longer
The closer you come, the weaker i get
If it ain't happened now, just ain't happened yet
Chorus:
So please, please, please go
I'm not strong enough to say no
Please, please don't stay
I'm not man enough to walk away
Please, please pass by
I can't resist you even though i try
So please go, i'm not strong to say no
The sign says "slow down-slippery ice"
You got dangerous curves, don't think twice
It says, "not for sale," your spoken for
Just take your heart and walk out the door
'cause when you're around my defenses go down
Feelings get stronger, looks get longer
The closer you come, the weaker i get
If it ain't happened now, just ain't happened yet
Repeat chrous
Don't say i didn't warn you, don't say you didn't know
Don't wait 'til it's too late and then try to go
The closer you come, the weaker i get
If it ain't happened now, just ain't happened yet
I'm beggin' you
Repeat chorus
