1. _ Her
What makes me get up every mornin'
When i can't find the will
And what keeps me goin' through the motions
When all my dreams are standing still
Why do i try so hard
How did i get this far
What is the bottom line each and every time
I do it for her
It's all about her
God knows she gives me more than i deserve
Every thought i think
Every breath i breathe
Everything that i hold dear to me
Revolves around one simple little word
Her
There's times i take it all for granted
Just how fortunate i am
God knows it took a better woman, to make me a better man
Oh, sometimes it don't show
Don't always let her know
What i couldn't live without
I know there ain't a doubt
I do it for her
It's all about her
God knows she gives me more than i deserve
Every thought i think
Every breath i breathe
Everything that i hold dear to me
Revolves around one simple little word
Her
She's my life's work
And for all that it's worth
I do it for her
It's all about her
Oh god knows she gives me more than i deserve
Every thought i think
Every breath i breathe
Everything that i hold dear to me
Revolves around one simple little word
Her
Talkin' about her.

2. _ Read Between The Lines
(aaron tippin/michael puryear)
I've got some mighty tall tales from livin' hard and fast
I'm a walkin,' talkin,' livin,' breathin,' portrait of my past
I've double-crossed the devil, prayed the lord my soul to keep
Escaped some early graves by the skin of my teeth
All the deepest secrets of my soul the world can plainly see
'cause everything i've ever done is written all over me
If you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mine
Every wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of art
That reminds me of mistakes that i've made
And no story i can tell can tell it quite as well
As these souvenirs that livin's left behind
So take a long, hard look at the cover of this book
And read between the lines
And read between the lines
They might be hard to find on this rigid face of stone
There are pleasant deep impressions that are solid as gold
And i'll be the first to tell you that this ol' boy's been blessed
'cause even the worst of times have turned out for the best
Like roads on a map they cross a battered stretch of skin
You can trace your way through memory lane to anywhere i've been
If you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mine
Every wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of art
That reminds me of mistakes that i've made
And no story i can tell can tell it quite as well
As these souvenirs that livin's left behind
So take a long, hard look at the cover of this book
And read between the lines
And read between the lines

4. _ Many, Many, Many Beers Ago
(aaron tippin/phillip douglas)
With every drink i take, it's gettin' harder to recall
And i ain't gonna stop until i forget it all
'cause once upon a time she used to love me so
But that was many, many, many beers ago
All my tin can buddies that help me ease the pain
One by one they remind me she's not coming back again
Just how long she's been gone i can't say i really know
Lord, it's been many, many, many beers ago
I don't need a watch or a clock on the wall
To tell me just how long it took for me to lose it all
And this gettin' over her is going pretty slow
It's been many, many, many beers ago
Yeah, all my tin can buddies that help me ease the pain
One by one they remind me she's not coming back again
Just how long she's been gone i can't say i really know
But it's been many, many, many beers ago
Yes, it's been many, many, many beers ago

5. _ I Got It Honest
(aaron tippin/bruce burch/marcus franklin johnson)
It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block
And it may not look like we got all our share of the promise
But at least one thing's for sure, i got it honest
Roll out of the sack every mornin', head on down to the mill
Give 'em all i got for eight, 'cause that's the deal
If you'll check out my paycheck
Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it
But ev'ry single penny i'm paid, i got it honest
I never had to hang my head in shame
For puttin' a price tag on my name
Never turned my back on what i believe
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
'cause buddy if i didn't earn it, i don't want it
That way i can always say, i got it honest
Now you ain't looking at some dude
That was born with a silver spoon in his mouth
And i might seem like some kind of low-life
To that high-falutin' crowd
But i'm plain spoken, straight talkin'
And damn proud of what i have acomplished
Some folks appreciate that and some don't
But, i got it honest
Now when i die, i may not leave my kids a fortune
But i hope they know'd my life stood for things that were important
And i'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma
It made me every ounce of what i am and i got it honest
I never had to hang my head in shame
For puttin' a price tag on my name
Never turned my back on what i believe
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
'cause brother if i didn't earn it, i don't want it
That way i can always say, i got it honest
Friend there ain't no doubt about it, i got it honest

7. _ Big Boy Toys
I'd hook my wagon to my trike and i'd head across the yard
To my big sandbox where i worked real hard
Playing all day with my little toy trucks
Backhoes, bulldozers, earth-moving stuff
That was my whole life when i was a kid
But when i grew up, i guess i never really did - i like
Chorus:
Big boy toys, motors and lights
Knobs and switches and four-wheel-drive
Running up the road or crawling across the farm
And when they broke down, i jack them up in the yard
Pull out my tools, my pride and joy
Man, you gotta love them big boy toys
Now, sometimes baby just can't understand
The mud on my boots and the grease on my hands
I try to explain how it makes me feel
The awesome power of my hands on the wheel
If i can't find the words to set things right
I just scoot over and i lt my baby drive - she likes
Chorus
Yeah, its boats and cars, tractors and trucks
Gasoline and diesel fuel running through my blood -
I like them
Chorus
Man, you gotta live them big boy toys
"big boy toys"

8. _ Kiss This
(aaron tippin/thea tippin/philip douglas)
She was a woman on a mission
Here to drown a man for leavin
So i set her up again to watch him drown
She had just about succeeded
When that low down no goodcheater
Good for nothing came struttin' through the crown
Oh he was layin' it on so thick
He never missed a lick
Professing his never ending love
Oh but i never will forget, when she stood up and said
Well i guess you think we're just goinna kiss and makeup don't ya
(that's when she said)
Why don't you kiss...kiss this
And i don't mean on my rosy red lips
Me and you, oh we are through
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes, and kiss this...good bye
Well the next thing i recall
She had him back against the wall
Chewing him like a bulldog on a bone
She was putting him in his place
And i mean right up in his face
Draggin' him down a list of done me wrongs
It was just about now that the crowd gathered round
They came to watch him pay for his every sin
She called him everything under the sun
And when we thought that she was done
She ran back and she let him have it again
She said...she said
Why don't you kiss...kiss this
And i don't mean on my rosy red lips
Me and you, oh we are through
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes, and kiss this...good bye
Kiss this
And i don't mean on my rosy red lips
Me and you, oh we are through
And there's only one thing left for you to do
You just come on over here one last time
Pucker up and close your eyes, and kiss this...good bye
Kiss this

9. _ Ain't That A Hell Of A Note
(aaron tippin/terry brown)
I hollered "hey honey, i'm home" like i do every day at four
But the tv ain't on and the car is gone, she must be at the store
Then i spied this piece of paper it looked like a list of things to do
But when i got down to number six i realized we were through
The plumber couldn' make it today, i've decided that i'm going away
The dog's at the vet the hearing is set
Do you see what i'm trying to say
Don't forget to take out the trash, i'm sorry but i'm not coming back
Now you can't sugar coat what she really wrote
Ain't that a hell of a note
I just stood there and scratched my head, my chin dropped to the floor
Not even a tear after all these years, i expected a little bit more
I was countin' on grabbin' a good, cold beer
Stretchin' out on the couch
But she went by the numbers and i got counted out
The plumber couldn' make it today, i've decided that i'm going away
The dog's at the vet the hearing is set
Do you see what i'm trying to say
Don't forget to take out the trash, i'm sorry but i'm not coming back
Now you can't sugar coat what she really wrote
Ain't that a hell of a note
Lordy, ain't that a hell of a note

10. _ When Country Took The Throne
(aaron tippin/buddy brock)
Just a skinny little mississippi railroad man
That loved to sing and play
He brought his music from the cotton fields
To the the hillbilly hall of fame
Thank god for jimmie rodgers
Chisel his name in the cornerstone
I just wish he could've lived to see the day
When country took the throne
Now a million songs have come and gone
Since we made that humble start
About neon nights, everyday life
Love and broken hearts
And more and more folks
Kept tuning in and turning on
Now i can proudly say that i saw the day
When country took the throne
Now from carolina to california, texas to new york
They can't get enough of this country stuff
And they're screaming for more
We painted the town with that grand old sound
And the whole world sang along
Yes, i was there the day
When country took the throne
Now, no one knows what the future holds
But i bet my best guitar
There'll be a jukebox jumping on jupiter
And a honky-tonk on mars
In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer
The best music ever known
They'll celebrate that age old day
When country took the throne
Now from carolina to california, texas to new york
They can't get enough of this country stuff
And they're screaming for more
We painted the town with that grand old sound
And the whole world sang along
Yes, i was there the day
When country took the throne
I said i was there the day
When country took the throne

11. _ You've Got To Stand For Something
(aaron tippin/buddy brock)
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on
He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light
But you could always find him standing up
For what he thought was right
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house
If daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backing down
But we always had plenty just living his advice
Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Now i know that things are different than they were in daddy's days
But i still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything

14. _ Without Your Love
I was born on the wrong of the city
Desperation in my mother's eyes
Factory whistle would wake me in the morning
At night the sirens sang my lullaby
Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle
Heart of leather and hands of steel
Thought i was too much of a sole survivor
To ever feel the way i feel
Chorus
But i don't want to live without your love
I don't want to live without your love
I can't take another night
And i've lost the will to fight
I don't want to live without your love
Dance with the devil in a bottle of whiskey
I paid the fiddler for every song
You'd think with all the lessons learned the hard way
I'd know enough to be strong

15. _ Where The Stars And Stripes And Eagle Fly
(aaron tippin)
Well if you ask me where i come from
Here's what i tell everyone
I was born by god's dear grace
In an extraordinary place
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
It's a big 'ol land with countless dreams
Happiness ain't out of reach
Hard work pays off the way it should
Yeah, i've seen enough to know that we've got it good
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
There's a lady that stands in a harbor
For what we believe
And there's a bell that still echoes
The price that it cost to be free
I pledge allegiance to this flag
And if that bothers you, well that's too bad
But if you got pride and you're proud you do
Hey, we could use some more like me and you
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Yes there's a lady that stands in a harbor
For what we believe
And there's a bell that still echoes
The price that it cost to be free
No, it ain't the only place on earth
But it's the only place that i prefer
To love my wife and raise my kids
Hey, the same way that my daddy did
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle...fly
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

But that's enough about me
Let's talk about you
Let's talk about the way i love your walk
Talk about the way that i love your talk
Did i happen to mention that i love everything you do
That's enough about me
Let's talk about you
Your sweet loving ways just make my day
And that twinkle in your eye's keeping me up at night
Oh, i love this life i'm living
Thanks to you know who
But that's enough about me
Let's talk about you
Let's talk about the way i love your walk
Talk about the way that i love your talk
Did i happen to mention that i love everything you do
That's enough about me
Let's talk about you
I just can't say enough about your sweet love
I could your praise 'til i'm blue in the face
I could ramble on and on like a babbling fool
But that's enough about me

Let's talk about the way i love your walk
Talk about the way that i love your talk

20. _ What This Country Needs
If i was runnin' this country
I'd start it over from scratch
Keep what's good, pile up what's bad
And then i'd strike the match
Yeah, we'd go back to the basics
Of how things ought to be
Yeah, there'd be a lot of changes
If it was left up to me
'cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a litte fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That's what this country needs
Now if you want to hear about livin'
Just twist that radio dial
'til you come to a singer singin'
What life is all about
'cause you can't deny that people still cry
They laugh and they smile and they hurt
And that's my humble opinion y'all
You can take it for what it's worth
'cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a litte fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That's what this country needs
Yeah, turn it on up and let it ring out
Across the land of the free
They ought to build a statue of hand williams, sr.
In washington, d.c.
'cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
Yeah and put a sawin' fiddle right square in the middle
Straight out of a texas bar
And ya'll give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That's what this country needs
You just be proud of it and always love it
And that's what this country needs.

23. _ The Door
We've got a problem we can't get around
It's gotten too big to just tear down
We built a wall out of thin air
Now i'm over here and you're over there
I'm afraid that there's no two ways to it
This wall could be our undoing
Can't raise the ceiling, can't lower the floor
Only thing left is to build a door
A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall
That's all
A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall
Might fall
You get a hammer and i'll get a saw
And we'll give this wall what-for
What we need between you and me is a door
We might get sweaty, might get dirty
A couple of splinters would be well worth it
We'll hang it right here, level and plumb
And then we'll shake hands on a job well done
Once that door's standing open
We'll get some communication going
We'll reach out, and the next thing we know
This wall'll come down like jericho
A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall
That's all
A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall
Might fall
You get a hammer and i'll get a saw
And we'll give this wall what-for
What we need between you and me is a door
A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall
That's all
A window won't work, and a ladder stretched that tall

24. _ Nothin' In The World

Well, i've moaned the blues since she slammed that door
Drank and cried and i walked the floor
And her memory's backed me against the wall
So tonight i'm gonna end it all
You can say goodbye to this lonely guy
Nothin' in the world can save me but a girl
Help me, help me, i'm about to die
There's a lovesick man on the prowl tonight
Don't call the doctor, don't call the law
When a good lovin' woman can fix it all
I gotta have another she to rescue me
Nothin' in the world can save me but a girl
Well, i know y'all think that i've gone mad
I'm out huntin' me one like i just had
It's like grabbin' a hold of a high line wire
Or jumpin' out of the pan straight into the fire
Oh, but only a man can understand
Nothin' in the world can save me but a girl
Help me, help me, i'm about to die
There's a lovesick man on the prowl tonight
Don't call the doctor, don't call the law

25. _ I'm Leaving
As we passed in the hall
She said we need to talk
I can't go on like this another day
I froze in my tracks
And a chill ran up my back
'cause i knew what she was gonna say
She said there's someone else
And i've kept it to myself
But i can't keep these feelings locked inside
I need to tell you this
It's one of your old friends
One you haven't talked to in a while
She said i'm leaving
And there's nothing you can do
I said i had a feeling you found somebody new
And i'll bet i can guess his name
But it's so hard to believe
'cause she said you're not even close
It's someone you don't know
I'm leaving you for me
I just stood there at a loss for words
Tryin' to catch my breath
'cause i knew that it was over when
She said i'm leaving
And there's nothing you can do
I said i had a feeling that you found somebody new
And i'll bet i can guess his name
But it's so hard to believe
Oh she said you're not even close
It's someone you don't know
I'm leaving you for me
She said you're not even close
It's someone you don't know
I'm leaving you for me.

The first time we went all the way
I can truly say it was way beyond my wildest dreams
And i never can forget that day
We spent tangled up in satin sheets
And i never thought we'd top the time that you and i
Oh, baby that was so sweet
Even though that was incredible now i know
The best was yet to be.
The best love we ever made
Kept us up all night
And it's still growing every day
Right before our very eyes
And we're so amazed we could create
Such a priceless work of art
Oh, the best love we ever made
Is the precious child of ours
The first time our baby cried
I knew our lives were never gonna be the same
In the heart of me, a part of me
Opened up a new kind of love i can't explain
Now all this time i thought
That i was living life for you and me alone
Oh, but holding this miracle
Now i know that i was wrong
The best love we ever made
Kept us up all night
And it's still growing every day
Right before our very eyes
And we're so amazed we could create
Such a priceless work of art
Oh, the best love we ever made
Is the precious child of ours
Oh, the best love we ever made
Is this precious child of ours

Somewhere out there in the smoky air
Where the night is neon blue
Surrounded by strangers, she don't know the dangers
One drink could lead her to
And if she falls, it's all my fault
For doin' a good woman wrong
I can't be far behind her
Oh, lord, help me find her
Before my angel is gone
Looking for my blue angel
The same one that flew from my arms last night
If you see my blue angel
Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight
Last night when she left i told myself
That she wouldn't go too far
Now i'm not so sure how long her tears
Could last in a stranger's arms
She's wounded i know and feeling so low
She could fall at anytime
I don't know what i'd do if i were to lose
That precious angel of mine
Looking for my blue angel
The same one that flew from my arms last night
If you see my blue angel
Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight
Yes, tell her heaven without her feels like hell tonight

This is my kind of town
I ain't never seen nothin' like it
In all my traveling 'round
If this old highway ever gives me up
And i think about settling down
Well, this is my kind of town
There ain't no place on god's green earth
I'd rather be right now
Folks around here sure seem to know
What living's all about
I could hang around here forever
Lord, i feel so much at home
When it comes time for me to leave
It'll be so hard to go 'cause
This is my kind of town
I ain't never seen nothin' like it
In all my traveling 'round
If this old highway ever gives me up
And i think about settling down
Well, this is my kind of town
Now, i ain't the kind to just muscle in
On someone else's world
But from what i've seen it seems to me
They got lots of extra girls
And if i could find me one of them
And a little house nearby
Well, i'd park these boots, hang this hat
And stay here 'til i die 'cause
This is my kind of town
I ain't never seen nothin' like it
In all my traveling 'round
If this old highway ever gives me up
And i think about settling down
Well, this is my kind of town
If this old highway ever gives me up
And i think about settling down

31. _ For You I Will
It's not my style to dance away the night
Or go for a walk beneath the full moonlight
And i don't wish on falling stars
Or easily give away my heart
But girl, for you i will
Can't hide this love that i feel
Never been the kind of guy
To fall in head over heels
But girl, for you i will
It's not like me at all to talk about
The likelihood of finally settling down
Couldn't speak the words "i love you"
Or find the courage to say "i do"
But girl, for you i will
Can't hide this love that i feel
Never been the kind of guy
To fall in head over heels

How's the radio know i miss her
And i'd die to tell her so
Oh, how's the radio know
They played one about a fool chocked up with regret
And then one about a woman that a man won't ever forget
Yeah, back-to-back heartbreakers in a row
How's the radio know
How's the radio know she left
How's the radio know i did her wrong
Every record that dj spins
Is a good-love-gone-bad song
How's the radio know i miss her
And i'd die to tell her so

33. _ I Promised You The World
(aaron tippin/bruce burch/vern dant)
I had dreams that were bigger than the montana sky
And we were gonna do great in great falls
I just knew we were this time
But when winter finally broke, so were we
You'll never know how bad that hurt
'cause this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world
I lost the farm in kansas
Along with a lot of pride
Then i almost lost my life
Down in that west virginia mine
And that motel room in memphis
Was a long way from diamonds and pearls
And that sure ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world
I swear your love is stronger
Than any dream of mine i've ever drug you through
And i swear i wasn't lyin'
They just never did come true
You've always bet on this old gambler
Every time i gave the wheel a whirl
But this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world
Now this shreveport sun is settin'
On another broken dream of mine
And i guess that mansion on the hill
Is pretty hard to see tonight
But as long as there's a breath of life in me
I'm gonna get it for you, girl
'cause this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world
I swear your love is stronger
Than any dream of mine i've ever drug you through
And i swear i wasn't lyin'
They just never did come true
You've always bet on this old gambler
Every time i gave the wheel a whirl
But this ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world
No, this sure ain't what i meant
When i promised you the world

34. _ If I Had To Do It Over
(aaron tippin/buddy brock)
When i look back on this life and all the things that i have done
Lord, i've paid some pretty prices for never backing up
But now that i've had time alone and i've been through every page
There's only one part of my story that i wish that i could change
If i had it to do over and i knew then what i know now
I'd do anything i had to, to keep you from walkin' out
Your love would be the only reason for anything that i'd undo
Yes, if i had it to do over, i'd do it over you
There are bridges i have burned and there are promises i've made
And the ones that i have broken i'll have to carry to my grave
And when i stand before the throne and answer for my every deed
The only one that i'll regret is what i've done to you and me
If i had it to do over and i knew then what i know now
I'd do anything i had to, to keep you from walkin' out
Your love would be the only reason for anything that i'd undo
Yes, if i had it to do over, i'd do it over you
Yes, if i had it to do over, i'd do it over you

39. _ There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With The Radio
(aaron tippin/buddy brock)
Sometimes she runs, sometimes she don't
More than once she's left me on the side of the road
The older she gets the slower we go
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio
She needs a carburetor, a set of plug wires
She's ridin' me around on four bald tires
The wipers don't work and the horn don't blow
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio
I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash
A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass
Dual antennas whippin' in the wind
Lord, there ain't a country station that i can't tune in
She ain't a cadillac and she ain't a rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio
I got stopped by a cop late last night
Out-of-date tags and no tail lights
He said i oughta run you in but i'm lettin' you go
Because there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio
I got the best lookin' gal in my hometown
I asked her last time that i took her out
Honey, tell me what it is that makes you love me so
She said there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio
I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash
A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass
Dual antennas whippin' in the wind
Lord, there ain't a country station that i can't tune in
She ain't a cadillac and she ain't a rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio
No, she ain't a cadillac and she ain't a rolls
But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

It's taken me some time to read the writing on the wall
But i have finaly figured out just what's been going on
And i need to tell you what i've learned before you turn to go
There's things about that other man i think you should know
The man that came between us was looking out for number one
He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done
But looking in the mirror, today, i finally came to see
That man that came between us was me
I know i'm sorry don't make up for half the tears you've cried
And i can't promise miracles but i swear to god i'll try
'cause if you'll give me half a chance i'll love you like i should
Honey, your lovin' man's come home again
And that stranger's gone for good
The man that came between us was looking out for number one
He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done
But looking in the mirror, today, i finally came to seed
That man that came between us was me
Oh honey, the man that came between us was me

(aaron tippin/buddy brock)
Well, down at the factory, i'm never late
I'm a mild mannered man who pulls his weight
I give a hundred percent, i don't ever stop
'til friday evening when i punch that clock
Then i disappear until the weekend's through
And you'll never guess who i turn into
I'm a honky-tonk superman
Ready or not, i'm back again
Dancing on the tables
And swinging from the chandeliers
I'm a honky-tonk superman
That's who i really am
A real rebel, dare-devil
Honky-tonkin' superman
Everybody's waiting for my next move
Last night i broke the record for acting a fool
My favorite waitress said i went a little too far
When i came roller skating down the top of the bar
Now, don't blame me for just having fun
The never should have bet me that it couldn't be done
('cause)
I'm a honky-tonk superman
Ready or not, i'm back again
Dancing on the tables
And swinging from the chandeliers
I'm a honky-tonk superman
That's who i really am
A real rebel, dare-devil
Honky-tonkin' superman
Hey, look up there on the neon sign
It's a bird, it's a plane, lord, he's lost his mind
Oh, it's just honky-tonk superman
Ready or not, i'm back again
Dancing on the tables
And swinging from the chandeliers
Whoa, yeah, i'm a honky-tonk superman
Yeah, that's who i really am
A real rebel, dare-devil, honky-tonkin' superman
Yeah, sure enough, real tough, honky-tonk superman

Your heavenly memory is pure misery
I'm losing my mind one night as a time
These sweet dreams are killin' me
When sleep comes i hold you just like i used to
In a world where our love still lives
But each mornin' i wake as i feel my heart break
When i lose you all over again
These sweet dreams are killin' me
Your heavenly memory is pure misery
I'm losing my mind one night as a time
These sweet dreams are killin' me

59. _ Lovin' Me Into An Early Grave
(aaron tippin/philip douglas)
Always wanted one to put me to the test
A hot blooded woman that could love a man to death
I got what i wanted but lord i gotta say
She's lovin' me into an early grave
Lovin' me into an early grave
I get up in the morning i'm headed for the door
The last kiss leads to a thousand more
I'm late for work but i can't get away
She's lovin' me into an early grave
Lovin' me into an early grave
Finally found a reason to live
But lord she's gonna kill me as good as she is
But if you've gotta go well it's the only way
She's lovin' me into an early grave
Lovin' me into an early grave
Now i wouldn't trade places with any man alive
But man alive it's hard to survive
But i'm gonna keep trying till my dying day
She's lovin' me into an early grave
Lovin' me into an early grave
Finally found a reason to live
But lord she's gonna kill me as good as she is
But if you've gotta go well it's the only way
She's lovin' me into an early grave
Lovin' me into an early grave
Lovin' me into an early grave

I've never been up against anything quite like you
There have been tight situations but baby this is close
You're so soft to touch and you're so easy to hold
For the first time in my life i feel like i just can't lose
And i've never been up against anything quite like you
When the odds are against me i just laugh it off
'cause nothing is as tough as this love i've come across
When we met head on, you really changed my point of view
I've never been up against anything quite like you
There have been tight situations but baby this is close
You're so soft to touch and you're so easy to hold
For the first time in my life i feel like i just can't lose
And i've never been up against anything quite like you
No, i've never been up against anything quite like you

62. _ Working Man's Ph.d.
(aaron tippin/bobby boyd/philip douglas)
You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
A long, hard day sure ain't much fun
But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
You're workin' on a working man's ph.d.
With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
You build the things that really make the world go around
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years
You bet your bottom dollar it was made right here
With pride, honor and dignity
From a man with a working man's ph.d.
Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact i'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's ph.d.
When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down
There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds
You'll face yourself at the end of the day
And be damn proud of whatever you've made
Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see
But you've got yourself a working man's ph.d.
Now there ain't no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact i'd like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin' their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man's ph.d.

63. _ Away In A Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his Sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.

64. _ Whole Lotta Love On The Line
(aaron tippin/donny kees)
I've called from every run down phone booth in atlanta, georgia
Tryin' to find someone to tell me where you'd gone
I begged and pleaded with your mama 'til she gave me this number
Honey, we can work it out
Just come back home
'cause there's a whole lotta love on the line
And all i need is a chance to change your mind
Don't hang up the phone, 'cause everything's not gone
Think about it, baby
There's a whole lotta love on the line
All this distance that's come between us has gone far enough
And now i know that closer to you is where i belong
And that feelin' i'm feelin' inside is what i'm tryin' to send through these wires
Oh, darling who cares
Who's right or who's wrong
'cause there's a whole lotta love on the line
And all i need is a chance to change your mind
Don't hang up the phone, 'cause everything's not gone
Think about it, baby
There's a whole lotta love on the line

67. _ That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You
(paul jefferson/sally dworsky/jan leyers)
Maybe we'll never be seen together
At night on a crowded street
I may never reach across your body
And kill the light when you're asleep
Maybe i'll never watch you dressing
Or sound too familiar on the phone
But i can touch your hand that's against me
And take that moment home
That's as close as i'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else i'd rather do
I can dream, i can hope, i can see but still i know
That's as close as i'll get to loving you
I won't be there when you need holding
But i'm sure that he can pull you through
But i can sing this song to everybody
And pretend it's not about you
That's as close as i'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else i'd rather do
I can dream, i can hope, i can see but still i know
That's as close as i'll get to loving you
That's as close as i'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else i'd rather do
I can dream, i can hope, i can see but still i know

Way up in the sky, not a cloud is flyin' by
A picture perfect afternoon
Birds upon the wing, i can hear them sing
Chirping out a happy tune
And i'm walkin' around with my head hanging down
Got a reason for feeling this way
Since you've been gone things look so wrong
The sky's got the blues today
The sky's got the blues, just like i've got them for you
That old sky's got the blues and i've got nothing to look up to
Yeah, the sky's got the blues, the sky's got the blues today
Everyone i see, happy as can be
Loving all this warm sunshine
So many things to do, beneath a sky of blue
Not a worry on their minds
Oh but i could stand a change, some clouds or some rain
Now ain't that sad to say, but it could take a turn
As far as i'm concerned, the sky's got the blues today
The sky's got the blues, just like i've got them for you
That old sky's got the blues and i've got nothing to look up to
Yeah, the sky's got the blues, the sky's got the blues today

(david lee murphy/kim tribble)
There's a pool hall juke box, sawdust floors
Three plays for a quarter, and we still want more
Yeah there's a reason for fast cars
And that double yellow line
Heartbreak songs and good cheap two dollar wine
'cause of people like us
There's honky tonk music, long neck bottles
Rusty old pickup trucks
Oh at last call the lights go up
And its all because of people like us
I got a second hand boat, the last numbers in jail
There's second hand smoke, everywhere i exhale
There's greasy little truckstops, all night di
No-tell motel's and everybody knows why
'cause of people like us
There's honky tonk music, long neck bottles
Rusty old pickup trucks
Oh at last call the lights go up
And its all because of people like us
'cause of people like us
There's honkey tonk music, long neck bottles
Rusty old pickup trucks
Oh at last call the lights go up
'cause of people ... people like us
There's honkey tonk music, long neck bottles
Rusty old pickup trucks
And at last call the lights go up
And its all because of people like us
Late night people like us
Hard lovin people like us
Hahah, just fun lovin people like us

72. _ Trim Yourself To Fit The World
(aaron tippin/philip douglas/kim williams)
Each time the good lord makes a man
He always breaks the mold
So it sure does raise a flag for that
Rebel in my soul
When some phony carbon copy says
I'm the black sheep of the fold
Well, this is what i tell' em
When i tell 'em where to go
If you trim yourself to fit the world
There won't be nothin' left
Just a little here and a little there
Till you won't know yourself
You'll be a pile of shavings
When they put you in your grave
If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away
I could change to fit his world
But i just ain't that kind
Some sell their soul for the easy road
The devil's always buying
I can't count the ones i've known
Who fell right into line
Now they walk around with their heads hung down
They've got no piece of mind
If you trim yourself to fit the world
There won't be nothin' left
Just a little here and a little there
Till you won't know yourself
You'll be a pile of shavings
When they put you in your grave
If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away
So before you sign that dotted line
Or do something that you'd rather not
Before you compromise your stand
Friend, let me tell you what
Don't let the crowd get so loud
You can't hear your conscience speak
'cause i'm willing to bet that you'll soon regret
That you sold yourself so cheap
If you trim yourself to fit the world
There won't be nothin' left
Just a little here and a little there
Till you won't know yourself
You'll be a pile of shavings
When they put you in your grave
If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away
If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away

To the memory of a love that had been long gone
There must have been somebody else i don't remember who it is

Don't blame and accuse just love and forgive
Now every grudge i ever had no longer exists

Just the hearts and the flowers

This heart will be yours eternally
The man upstairs put it there 'cause

Without this heart in me for you

From men nearly twice my size
Yeah, life's sticks and stones have broke a few bones
But i've always survived
So when i take a look at all i've took
It don't seem right to me
How a little bitty woman with just a few words
Come bring me to my knees
Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit
Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips
I'd rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns
Rear back and let 'em fly
'cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much
As the sound of your goodbye
Yeah, i know i'm the reason you're leavin'
I'm to blame sure enough
It's like you say there ain't a woman made
That can live without true love
So if it's too late to set things straight
And there's no forgivin' me
Then don't say nothin,' just pick you up somethin'
That'll end this misery.
Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit

I had some days i can't forget
And sometimes at night i think about 'em yet

Yeah, i miss misbehavin'

But sometimes i miss misbehavin'
There was a girl i do recall
She was as tough as she was tall
We used to dance to every song
Lord, we held each other all night long
She used to call me her honey baby
I called her my miss misbehavin'
I wonder if she's still around
And if she's out there misbehavin' now

Oh, you're not the only lonely one tonight
I know what you're goin' through

I've been wakin' in your shoes all my life
I was born with a broken heart
Born to lose right from the start
Raised on hand-me-down blues
That's why i sing the way i do
A sad six string and a jukebox voice
I'm the lonely people's choice
I was made to play the part
I was born with a broken heart
If the sun should ever shine in your life
Well, friend, that's fine
And may you leave behind these old troubled times that we've shared
Oh, but don't look back for me
I'm where i'm supposed to be
And anywhere there's a lonely street i'll be there
I was born with a broken heart
Born to lose right from the start
Raised on hand-me-down blues
That's why i sing the way i do

82. _ I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way
(aaron tippin/butch curry)
I've walked the straight and narrow and i've worn a rebel's brand
Sometimes i've had to go without for bein' my own man
I've rallied to the cause when i knew the cause was right
I've cut against the grain, but i've kept my peace of mind
And i wouldn't have it any other way
If there's a price for bein' me, that's one i'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Oh, i wouldn't have it any other way
I could have taken a beaten path every time trouble starts
I'd rather take a beatin' than to ever cross my heart
Stickin' to my guns, can't be sold or bought
Holdin' to my honor no matter what the cost
And i wouldn't have it any other way
If there's a price for bein' me, that's one i'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day
I wouldn't have it any other way
Oh, i wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way

83. _ I've Got A Good Memory
(aaron tippin/buddy brock)
It was a quarter till three on the day that we met
Exactly nine o' five on the night that she left
Well i tried my best but i still can't forget
How good she used to be
And it's just too bad i've got a good memory
Good memories are hard to leave behind
I've got a bushel basket of 'em running through my mind
I still love her but she don't love me
And it's just too bad i've got a good memory
Lord, it's just too bad i've got a good memory
She had a front page smile and a watch-me walk
Left a love light burning that i can't turn off
Her first impression left a lasting thought
That keeps coming back to me
And it's just too bad i've got a good memory
Good memories are hard to leave behind
I've got a bushel basket of 'em running through my mind
I still love her but she don't love me
And it's just too bad i've got a good memory
Lord, it's just too bad i've got a good memory
And it's just too bad i've got a good memory
Lord, it's just too bad i've got a good memory

84. _ I Wonder How Far It Is Over You
(aaron tippin/buddy brock)
I parked my car beside the highway and i didn't lock the doors
Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours
And i struck out across texas, gonna walk it line to line
Now i'm halfway cross new mexico, but you're still on my mind
And this road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on
As i ask myself with every step will i ever be alone
I wonder just how far it is over you
Is there no place i go that you don't come too
When i left tennessee, i thought we were through
Now i wonder how far it is over you
I was deep in california when i finally made a friend
And it was me and that old hobo till you showed up again
Then he ran out of liquor and i've run out of time
I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind
And i'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide
Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side
I wonder just how far it is over you
Is there no place i go that you don't come too
When i left tennessee, i thought we were through
Now i wonder how far it is over you
I parked my car beside the highway and i didn't lock the doors
Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours

86. _ The Call Of The Wild
(aaron tippin/buddy brock/michael p. heeney)
She's been staring out the window four nights in a row
Like a caged up tiger, she's pacing the floor
And she just can't resist when she feels the pull
She's got a restless spirit that she can't control
And when she gets like this, i gotta let her go
She hears the call of the wild every once in a while
She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere
She can turn it loose and howl
I know what's in store, katie bar the door
When she winks at me and smiles
She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin'
Love making state of mind
So excuse me, y'all, i gotta answer the call of the wild
If there's ever been a lady, well, baby is
Just more of a woman at times like this
Now, don't you worry about baby stepping out of line
Yeah, she drives me crazy, but it suits me fine
She's hard to handle, so i hold on tight
And lord knows i got my hands full tonight
She hears the call of the wild every once in a while
She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere
She can turn it loose and howl
I know what's in store, katie bar the door
When she winks at me and smiles
She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin'
Love making state of mind
So excuse me, y'all, i gotta answer the call of the wild
I said pardon me, y'all, i gotta answer the call of the wild
