2. _ Fireman
Well,
[Chorus]
They call me the fireman, that's my name.
Making my rounds all over town, putting out old flames.
Well everybody'd like to have a what I got.
I can cool 'em down when they're smoldering hot.
I'm the fireman, that's my name.
Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road.
Well my buddy walked out and left his woman burnin' out of control.
Well I was down there in about an hour or so.
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go.
I'm the fireman, that's my name.
[Chorus]
Burn 'em up
Got a fire engine red T-bird automobile.
In a minute or less I can be dressed fit to kill.
I work 24 on, 24 off.
When they get too hot, they just give me a call.
I'm the fireman, that's my name.
[Chorus]
They call me the fireman, that's my name.

3. _ Baby Blue
She looked so much like a lady, but she was so much like a child.
A devil when she held me close, an angel when she smiled.
She always held it deep inside, but somehow I always knew
She's go away when the grass turned green
And the sky turned baby blue.
And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.
She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched.
And when she taught me how to care, I never cared so much.
I try not to think of her, but I fall asleep and do,
And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue.
And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.
And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

4. _ Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind
Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous
I tried it night after night
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?
Darlin', while you're busy burnin' bridges,
Burn one for me when you get time
'Cause good memories don't fade so easy
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?
You left me here to be with him in Dallas
And I know it hurt you at the time
I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?
You left me here to be with him in Dallas
And I know it hurt you at the time
I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?
Does Fort Worth ever [Repeats]
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?

5. _ Any Old Time
Any old time you get lonely,
Nights get cold or love is blue,
Just snuggle up honey; you're my one and only,
Any old time, I'm here for you.
Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me, drop in a dime
and there I'll be.
Any old time you start missin'
Somebody to hold, to keep you company,
I'll be willin' when you want my kissin',
Any old time, just call on me.
Pay no mind to the hour
Or how far away you may be.
Any old time you can find me, drop in a dime
and there I'll be.

6. _ I Should Have Watched That First Step
I once had a love, a true and lasting love
But the fool in me came out one night
And with her loving eyes she saw right through my eyes
And she changed the night I stepped across the line
I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step when I started steppin' out of line
Though she's still lovin' me, it's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind
I watched her slip away a little more every day
And my conscience couldn't live with all that pain
She's growing colder since the day I told her
And the love we had will never be the same
I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step when I started steppin' out of line
Though she's still lovin' me, it's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind
That first step did something to her mind

7. _ I've Come to Expect It from You
So upset
Nervous wreck
I can't believe you said goodbye
Sit and smoke
Cry and joke
About these tears in my eyes
How could you do what you've gone and done to me
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me
But that's what I get
I've come to expect it from you
A million times
A million lines
And I've bought 'em, every one
You don't care
You rip and tear
Every dream I've counted on
I guess that I should thank my unlucky stars
That I'm alive and you're the way you are
But that's what I get
I've come to expect it from you
How could you do what you've gone and done to me
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me
But that's what I get
I've come to expect it from you
I could raise hell
But what the hell
It wouldn't do a bit a good
Pack and leave
My heart agrees
It seems to think that I should
There won't be no more next time doing me wrong
You'll come back this time to find out that I'm gone
But that's what you get
You should expect that from me
That's what I get
I've come to expect it from you

8. _ Cowboy Rides Away
I knew the stakes were high right from the start
When she dealt the cards I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can't play
And this is where the cowboy rides away
[Chorus]
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say good bye to yesterday
This is where the cowboy rides away
We've been in and out of love and in between
And now we play the final showdown scene
And as the credits role a sad song starts to play
This is where the cowboy rides away
[Chorus]
Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away

9. _ What's Going on in Your World
(What's going on in your world? I hope that you're doing fine.
I just called to say there's not a day that you don't cross my mind.
I just wanted to see if you feel like me - sorry that we said goodbye.
So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.
Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone.
Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone.
I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time.
So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.
Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone.
Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone.
I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time.
So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.
What's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.

10. _ Overnight Success
If it was in your mind to really cut me down
If it was in your plan to walk me in the ground
You left with him last night then daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success
I couldn't blame someone who'd steal your love away
Because I know what I've lost and all he's gained
Sweetheart last night I know he got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success
Can you handle all you've won from breaking my pride
Will he stay with you and help you spend all the tears I've cried
Sweetheart I love you so and wish you happiness
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

11. _ You're Dancin' This Dance All Wrong
As I waltz in the arms of somebody new
Could it be what I feel may be too much too soon
But the way that you touch me, I want to give in
It's not so easy holding you when
You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong
A new partner's touch to an old partner's song
I'm getting the feeling as we dance along
Two strangers tonight won't be strangers for long
Keep dancing this dance all wrong
You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong
You're dancing this dance all wrong
New steps don't come easy when old memories hang on
I'm finding I'm falling as the music plays on
Keep dancing this dance all wrong

12. _ Drinking Champagne
I'm drinking champagne, feeling no pain 'till early morning
Dinning and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind
Guilty conscience I guess
I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine
So I'll keep drinking champagne, feeling no pain 'till early morning
Dinning and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
Having a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind
Guilty conscience I guess
I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine
So I'll keep drinking champagne, feeling no pain 'till early morning
Dinning and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
I'll keep having a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

13. _ Ace in the Hole
You've got to have an ace in the hole.
A little secret that nobody knows.
Life is a gamble, a game we all play,
But you need to save something for a rainy day.
You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life.
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll.
You've got to have an ace in the hole.
If you're headed down a one way street.
And you're not sure it's the way you wanna go.
In money or love, or all the above,
Have a little more than what you show.
When life deals out a surprise
Have a few surprises of your own.
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole.
You've got to have an ace in the hole.
A little secret that nobody knows.
Life is a gamble, a game we all play,
But you need to save something for a rainy day.
You've got to learn to play your cards right if you expect to win in life.
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll.
You've got to have an ace in the hole.
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole.
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole.

14. _ Love Comes from the Other Side of Town
When things get bad at home, you don't feel like being alone,
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
For the feelings we once shared are just no longer there,
And love comes from the other side of town.
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love was not on solid ground,
Now love comes from the other side of town.
The life I'm livin' now just don't seem right somehow,
But it's the best way to get by that I've found.
There's no love left at home, we're both just hangin' on,
And love comes from the other side of town.
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love was not on solid ground,
Now love comes from the other side of town.
Love comes from the other side of town

15. _ Love Without End, Amen
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed
Then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waitin' for the worst
And he said
[Chorus]
Let me tell you a secret about a father's love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then
It's a love without end, amen
It's a love without end, amen
When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end
I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him
I said
[Chorus]
Last night I dreamed I'd died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in
Then somewhere from the other side, I heard these words again
And they said

16. _ Famous Last Words of a Fool
I told her I wouldn't miss her at all
As she walked through the door
I couldn't care less
If she didn't care anymore
And with tears in my eyes, I lied
I was glad we were through
As she drove away crying
At the famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart
And I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool
The first night without her would be easy
I kept tellin' myself
Although I'm dyin' at the thought of her lyin'
Somewhere else
There'll be nothin' to it
I'll easily find someone new
As my breaking heart echoes
The famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart
And I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart
And I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool

17. _ If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')
If you got a Cadillac boy and a 40 room shack boy
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey
But if you're gettin' no huggin'
No smoochin' or a muggin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If you're ridin' on a gravy train
Instead of walkin' down lovers lane
You can't make hey boy
'Cause you're goin' the wrong way boy
You gotta get a a little honey
It's better than money
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'
If they call you a big man
'Cause you got a lot of bottled land
If you're kin to the President
And ya help from the Government
But if you're gettin' no attention
You're better off on the pension
If you ain't lovin
Then you ain't livin'
If you got a string of long cards
And you're smokin' them 4 bid cigars
You ain't so well to do
Unless you get a little coochy-coo
It takes a little bit a smackin'
Or your lifes lackin'
If you ain't lovin'
Then you ain't livin'

18. _ What Did You Expect Me to Do
Sometimes I smile
When you stayed home for a while
What did you expect me to do
I always cried
Each time you tolled a lie
What did you expect me to do
Each time I forgave you
You grew bolder
And each time you hurt me
My heart grew colder
Sure I loved
But I found someone new
What did you expect me to do
Each time I forgave you
You grew bolder
And each time you hurt me
My heart grew colder
Sure I loved
But I found someone new
What did you expect me to do

19. _ I Need Someone Like Me
Your out there somewhere and your crying
And I love you though we've never met
Wait there for me, I'll recognize you
Someone lonesome, someone hurtin', someone blue
That'll be you
We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too
We'll help each other start all over
A tear for a tear
A shoulder for a shoulder
You'll be someone that's born to lose
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too
'Cause I need someone like me
To hold on too

20. _ Baby's Gotten Good at Goodbye
What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily
She just got all her things threw em' into a pile
Then she loaded her car and said after a while
She done this before but this time she didn't cry
That's why I'm sittin on the front steps
Starin down the road, wonderin' if she'll come Back this time I don't know
After she packed
When she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at a goodbyes
All the times before she'd break down and cry
She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye
She just wanted me to hear what she had to say
Now I'm lost for words since she went away
She may not return for this time she didn't cry
That's why I'm sittin on the front steps
Starin down the road, wonderin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
That's why I'm sittin on the front steps
Staring down the road, wonderin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
