1. _ Tougher Than The Rest
Well it's saturday night you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love honey i'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome dan or some good-lookin' joe
On their arms some girls like a sweet-talkin' romeo
Well 'round here baby i learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love honey i'm tougher than the rest
The road is dark and it's a thin thin line
But i want you to know i'll walk it for you anytime
Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love honey i'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret i've been around a time or two
Well i don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love honey i'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love baby i'm tougher than the rest

2. _ Spare Parts
Booby said he'd pull out bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby wasn't any sin
They were set to marry on a summer day
Bobby got scared and he ran away
Jane moved in with here ma out on shawnee lake
She sighed ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake
She settled in in a back room time passed on
Later that winter a son came along
Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around
Now janey walked that baby across the floor night after night
But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights
Meanwhile in south texas in a dirty oil patch
Bobby heard about his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back
Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around
Janey heard about a woman over in calverton
Put her baby in the river let the river roll on
She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay
Got down on her knees cried till she prayed
Mist was on the water low run the tide
Janey held her son down at the riverside
Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone
She lifted him in her arms and carried him home
As he lay sleeping in her bed janey took a look around at everything
Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring
Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash
Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good
Cold cash
Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around

3. _ Two Faces
I met a girl and we ran away
I swore i'd make her happy every day
And how i made her cry
Two faces have i
Sometimes mister i feel sunny and wild
Lord i love to see my baby smile
Then dark clouds come rolling by
Two faces have i
One that laughs one that cries
One says hello one says goodbye
One does things i don't understand
Makes me feel like half a man
At night i get down on my knees and pray
Our love will make that other man go away
But he'll never say goodbye
Two faces have i
Last night as i kissed you 'neath the willow tree
He swore he'd take your love away from me
He said our life was just a lie
And two faces have i
Well go ahead and let him try

4. _ One Step Up
Woke up this morning my house was cold
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hoped in my old ford
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
We're the same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps back
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
But he ain't singin'
Girl in white outside a church in june
But the church bells they ain't ringing
I'm sitting here in this bar tonight
But all i'm thinkin' is
I'm the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps back
It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong baby who's right
Another fight and i slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When i look at myself i don't see
The man i wanted to be
Somewhere along the line i slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back
There's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sending
Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
And me well honey i'm pretending
Last night i dreamed i held you in my arms
The music was never-ending
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
One step up and two steps back

5. _ Tunnel Of Love
Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove
We'll ride down baby into this tunnel of love
I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
You me and all that stuff we're so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love
There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-d
I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me
There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother
It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love
It ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above if you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love

6. _ Valentine's Day
I'm driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark
I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand's tremblin' over my heart
It's pounding baby like it's gonna bust right on through
And it ain't gonna stop till i'm alone again with you
A friend of mine became a father last night
When we spoke in his voice i could hear the light
Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines
And that great jukebox out on route 39
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
But tonight i miss my girl mister tonight i miss my home
Is it the sound of the leaves
Left blown by the wayside
That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight
Is it the cry of the river
With the moonlight shining through
That ain't what scares me baby
What scares me is losing you
They if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed
But honey last night i dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
And god's light came shinin' on through
I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom i felt rushing over me
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields i felt rushing through my arms
No no baby it was you
So hold me close honey say you're forever mine
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine

7. _ When You're Alone
Times were tough love was not enough
So you said sorry johnny i'm gone gone gone
You said my act was funny
But we both knew what was missing honey
So you let out on your own
Now that pretty form that you've got baby
Will make sure you get along
But you're gonna find our someday honey
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you ain't nothing but alone
Now i was young and pretty on the mean streets of the city
And i fought to make'em my home
With just the shirt on my back i left and swore i'd never look back
And man i was gone gone gone
But there's things that'll knock you down you don't even see coming
And send you crawling like a baby back home
You're gonna find out that day sugar
When you're alone...
I knew some day your runnin' would be through
And you'd think back on me and you
And your love would be strong
You'd forget all the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had
And you'd wanna come home
Now it ain't hard feelings or nothin' sugar
That ain't what's got me singing this song
It's just nobody knows baby where love goes
But when it goes it's gone gone
When you're alone...

8. _ Cautious Man
Bill horton was a cautious man of the road
He walked lookin' over his shoulder and remained faithful to its code
When something caught his eye he'd measure his need
And then very carefully he'd proceed
Billy met a young girl in the early days of may
It was there in her arms he let his cautiousness slip away
In their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew dim
He'd lay back in her arms and laugh what had happened to him
On his right hand billy tattooed the word love and on his left hand was the word fear
And in which hand he held his fate was never clear
Come indian summer he took his young lover for his bride
And with own hands built a great house down by the riverside
Now billy was an honest man he wanted to do what was right
He worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving nights
Alone on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray
For he knew in a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay
One night billy awoke from a terrible dream callin' his wife's name
She lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep a thousand miles away
He got dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode
When he got there he didn't find nothing but road
Billy felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn't name
Just as the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles he knew would always remain
At their bedside he brushed the hair from his wife's face as the moon shone on her skin so white
Filling their room with the beauty of god's fallen light

9. _ Brilliant Disguise
I hold you in my arms as the band plays
What are those words whispered baby just as you turn away
I saw you last night out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind and know just what i've got in this new thing i've found
So tell me what i see when i look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame underneath your pillow
Well i've tried so hard baby but i just can't see
What a woman like you is doing with me
So tell me what i see when i look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me baby struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart when out go the lights
I'm just a lonely pilgrim i walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you i don't trust 'cause i damn sure don't trust
Myself
Now you play the loving woman i'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand
We stood at the altar the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby or just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of

10. _ Ain't Got You
I got a fortune of heaven in diamonds and gold
I got all the bonds baby that the bank could hold
I got houses 'cross the country honey end to end
And everybody buddy wants to be my friend
Well i got all the riches honey any man every knew
But the only thing i ain't got honey i ain't got you
I got a house full of rembrandt and priceless art
And all the little girls they wanna tear me apart
When i walk down the street people stop and stare
Well you think i might be thrilled but baby i don't care
Cause i got more good luck honey than old king farouk
But the only thing i ain't got baby i ain't got you
I got a big diamond watch sittin' on my wrist
I try to tempt you baby but you just resist
I made a deal with the devil babe i won't deny
Until i got you in my arms i can't be satisfied
I got a pound of caviar sitting home on ice
I got a fancy foreign car that rides like paradise
I got a hundred pretty women knockin' down my door
And folks wanna kiss me i ain't even seen before
I been around the world and all across the seven seas
Been paid a king's ransom for doin' what comes naturally
But i'm still the biggest fool honey this world ever knew
'cause the only thing i ain't got baby i ain't got you

11. _ Walk Like A Man
I remember how rough your hand felt on mine on my wedding day
And the tears cried on my shoulder i couldn't turn away
Well so much has happened to me that i don't understand
All i can think of is being five years old following behind you at the beach tracing your footprints in the sand
Trying to walk like a man
By our lady of the roses we lived in the shadow of the elms
I remember ma draggin' me and my sister up the street to the church whenever she heard those wedding bells
Well would they ever look so happy again the handsome groom and his bride
As they stepped into that long black limousine for their mystery ride
Well tonight you step away from me and alone at the alter i stand
And as i watch my bride coming down the aisle i pray for the strength to walk like a man
Well now the years have gone and i've grown from that seed you've sown
But i didn't think there'd be so many steps i'd have to learn on my own
Well i was young and i didn't know what to do
When i saw your best steps stolen away from you
Now i'll do what i can
I'll walk like a man
And i'll keep on walkin'

12. _ All That Heaven Will Allow
I got a dollar in my pocket there ain't a cloud up above
I got a picture in a locket that says baby i love you
Well if you didn't look then boys then fellas don't go lookin' now
Well here she comes a-walkin' all that heaven will allow
Say hey there mister bouncer now all i wanna dance
But i swear i left my wallet back home in my workin' pants
C'mon slim slip me in man i'll make it up to you somehow
I can't be late i got a date with all that heaven will allow
Rain and storm and dark skies well now they don't mean a thing
If you got a girl that loves you and who wants to wear your ring
So c'mon mister trouble we'll make it through you somehow
We'll fill this house with all the love all that heaven will allow
Now some may wanna die young man young and gloriously
Get it straight now mister hey buddy that ain't me
'cause i got something on my mind that sets me straight and walking proud
And i want all the time all that heaven will allow
