1. _ Money Ain't Everything
(kim williams/clay walker/kent blazey)
Let's go to louisiana boys
Way down in louisiana where the moss and cypress grew
You'd find old jack in a shotgun shack
In the back of the black bayou
Some folks called him crazy but i knew better than that
He kept a hundred dollar bill tucked away in the brim
Of his dirty old cowboy hat
Jack told me a story when i was ten years
He said there was once a fool tried to swim this swamp
With his back weighted down with gold
He said you should've seen that alligator smile
He had a meal fit for a king
But he ened up on my table son, money ain't everything
He said there's only one way into this world
And one way out it's true
You either eat the alligator
Or he's gonna eat you
There's people livin' in a high-rise
That'll never hear a robin sing
What good is first place when you're in a rat race
Money ain't everything
Little maggie may lay dying, her heart was about to go
When her daddy found a sack on the porch out back
With a half a million dollars in gold
They still talk about the stranger who saved her life that spring
No name on the note but someone wrote, money ain't everything
He said there's only one way into this world
And one way out it's true
You either eat the alligator
Or he's gonna eat you
There's people livin' in a high-rise
That'll never hear a robin sing
What good is first place when you're in a rat race
Money ain't everything
No name on the note but i know who wrote, money ain't everything

2. _ My Heart Will Never Know
I pour two cups of coffee
Put the paper on the table
So we can share the morning news
Your voice answers our phone when we're not home
Friends who call leave a message here for you
Every night i leave the light on, you're just working late
As far as i can see everything is still the same
And my heart will never know
So i don't fall apart
I fool myself for another day
That you're not really gone
After all this time it's still too hard to let you go
As long as i don't say goodbye
My heart will never know
It's been a long cold december, the snow outside keeps fallin'
I'll light a fire when you get home
It reminds me of the first night we make love
Like it would last forever, and nothing could go wrong
You're a part of me, a part of everything i do
So i keep holding on, hiding from the truth
And my heart will never know
So i don't fall apart
I fool myself for another day
That you're not really gone
After all this time it's still too hard to let you go
As long as i don't say goodbye
My heart will never know
After all this time it's still too hard to let you go
As long as i don't say goodbye
My heart will never know

3. _ You Make It Look So Easy
I never thought it would hurt me so bad
Seein' you look so good
You're moving on and you're not lookin' back
Just like i hoped i would
How do you stop lovin' someone
And turn what we had into nothin'
I wish i could
You make it look so easy
The way that you got over me
You act as if your leavin' was natural as the air you breathe
You're so together while i'm fallin' apart
You make it look so easy
And that's what makes it so hard
I've seen you out at at the places we went
Dancin' with someone new
You didn't take long to start livin' again
After our life was through
How do you let go of the good times
With a wave of your hand and a goodbye
I wish i knew
You make it look so easy
The way that you got over me
You act as if your leavin' was natural as the air you breathe
And you're so together while i'm fallin' apart
You make it look so easy
And that's what makes it so hard
You make it look so easy
And that's what makes it so hard

4. _ Heartache Highway
The sun's reflecting off the city limit sign
I better keep moving before i change my mind
Lookin' in the rearview mirror
Comin' home didn't make it clearer
I didn't wanna hear her say goodbye
Heartache highway why didn't i say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken
Heartache highway now it's too late
To ever change her mind
Oh it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind
Memories of her dance in my headlights
As i'm ridin' my pain into the night
Headin' for the next horizon
Watchin' the full moon risin'
Gotta keep on drivin' goin' nowhere..on this
Heartache highway why didn't i say
What she wanted to hear
Why must the most important words go unspoken
Heartache highway now it's too late
To ever change her mind
Oh it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind
Oh it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind

5. _ Down By The Riverside
(kim williams/clay walker/kent blazey)
The wind was blowing through your hair
The moon was shing on your face
You looked like a picture sittin' there
And time stood still there in that place
The water was singin', out hearts were beatin' fast
Two high school lovers thinkin' it would always last
Down by the riverside on a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside
Now you're nothin' but a ghost
That still haunts my memory
And you're always waitin' there
When i go walkin' through my dreams
There's no happy ending but i know our love will last
'cause when i close my eyes you always take me back
Down by the riverside on a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside
On a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside

6. _ The Melrose Avenue Cinema Two
The last day of school was the first of june
Me and bobby watched the clock all afternoon
Waitin' for the bell and mrs. greer
To say have a good summer, see you next year
That night i couldn't sleep 'cause the very next day
They started up the summertime matinees
With a different movie every afternoon
At the melrose avenue cinema two
Me and bobby rode rockets into outer space
We drove daytona and we won the race
We shot a lotta bull and some bad guys too
At the melrose avenue cinema two
The melrose avenue cinema two
Well the years went by and the price went up
From a couple of quarters to a couple of bucks
Bobby and his family moved away
So i found my little girl to take his place
Me and betty saw our share of love scenes
We even saw a couple on the movie screen
John wayne won the lady and i did too
At the melrose avenue cinema two
The melrose avenue cinema two
Now the melrose avenue cinema two
Is a second-hand store called nothin' new
All that's left of the old marquee
Is some broken glass and one crooked "t"
And i watch old movies on a new tv
With betty on the couch sittin' next to me
We still hold hands like we used to do
At the melrose avenue cinema two
The melrose avenue cinema two
The melrose avenue cinema two
Yes we do

7. _ Lose Your Memory
Last night is the last time she's ever leavin' me
'cause i've taken all the past times and i've stored 'em in my memory
She probably thinks i'm crazy
She probably thinks i've lost my mind
'cause when she drove away, well i just waved goodbye
It's been one time, two times, three times more
Than i can bear to stand
The clock is stopped from that slammin' door
And i can't turn the hands
Well i've lost track of time, but you're still right here with me
'cause honey i might lose my mind, but i'll never lose your memory
Everybody asks me how i got over you
Well i just tell them that we are just about overdue
Well it don't matter how far you go, cause you're never far from me
'cause honey i might lose my mind, but i'll never lose your memory
It's been one time, two times, three times more
Than i can bear to stand
The clock is stopped from that slammin' door
And i can't turn the hands
Well i've lost track of time, but you're still right here with me
'cause honey i might lose my mind, but i'll never lose your memory
Baby, you made me lose my mind, but i'll never lose your memory

8. _ This Woman And This Man
Been tryin' so hard just to talk to you
Haven't heard half of what you want me to
I hurt so bad over where we've been
Don't know how not to go back there again
I know what i wanna say
Can i get it through to you now
In some other way...like
There was this woman and there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love and still never see
Now nothin' could be sadder than
This woman this woman and this man
A stranger's eyes in a lover's face
See no signs of a better time and place
Have we lost the key to an open door
I feel the need to reach out to you even more
It's a circle we're goin' 'round
If we don't get us out from under
It's gonna take us down...see
There was this woman and there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love and still never see
Now nothin' could be sadder than
This woman this woman and this man
For all we've got to lose there's so much to gain
If we come this far and leave it behind
There's only you and me to blame...see
There was this woman and there was this man
There was this moment they had a chance to hold on to what they had
How could they be so in love and still never see
Yeah we can get it back again
This woman this woman and this man
Yeah we can bring it back again
This woman this woman and this man

9. _ Boogie Till The Cows Come Home
I'm gonna polish my best boots
I'm gonna put on my best hat
I'm gonna drive on down to the dancehall
That sits by the railroad tracks
Well the band there mixes fiddles
With a wailing saxophone
And when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home
There's a wood stove in the corner
There's saw dust on the floor
They've got a flashing neon lone star sign
Hangin' by the door
All they sell is beer and setups
So you'll have to bring your own
But when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home
"faded love" and "milk cow blues"
"the oklahoma stomp" and "born to lose"
Tip your hat to "the rose of san antone"
Here we go with the "cotton eyed joe"
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home
It's an old southwest tradition
And a guaranteed good time
There's people of all ages here
From one to ninety-nine
Even if you show up by yourself
You don't have to be alone
'cause when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home
"faded love" and "milk cow blues"
"the oklahoma stomp" and "born to lose"
Tip your hat to "the rose of san antone"
Here we go with the "cotton eyed joe"
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home
"faded love" and "milk cow blues"
"the oklahoma stomp" and "born to lose"
Tip your hat to "the rose of san antone"
Here we go with the "cotton eyed joe"
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home
Here we go with the "cotton eyed joe"
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

10. _ What Do You Want For Nothin'
You bought my love with a lot of sweet nothin's
Promises and lies
Had all i want of your kind of lovin'
It's time to say goodbye
After all you've given me
Don't look so surprised
What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way i feel
But i'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
I hate to spoil the party baby
But i've got to be on my way
All i wanted was your love
But it was more than you would pay
Now you want a second chance
To give me more of the same
What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way i feel
But i'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
A solid gold guarentee
That you get everything you need
But there is no love in it for me
You wanna deal on the way i feel
But i'm not buying that
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back
What do you want for nothin' baby
Your money back

11. _ If I Could Make A Living
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what i love and lovin' what i do
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
Early every mornin' when the sun comes up
I'm punchin' that clock on the wall
Breakin' my back just to make a buck
Wishin' i was in your arms
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what i love and lovin' what i do
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I could work all day and feel right at home
Lovin' that 8 to 5
And never have to leave you here alone
When i'm workin' overtime
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what i love and lovin' what i do
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what i love and lovin' what i do
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
I'd be a millionaire in a week or two
I'd be doin' what i love and lovin' what i do
If i could make a livin' out of lovin' you
