1. _ Desperado
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Ben out ridin' fences, for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But i know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
But it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get
Desperado
Oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
And you're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from those fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late

2. _ Put Yourself In My Shoes
Your mind is made up you won't even try
You didn't even cry this time
You say that we could never see eye to eye
And one of us just must be blind
We have our differences
We're still the same
See what we want to see
But you take a second look
And maybe things wouldn't seem the same
If you could see what you mean to me
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a mile for me
I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy
And if i could only put myself in your shoes
I'd walk right back to me
You're gonna keep walkin' and you're gonna pass me by
You say you don't even care
But i could always recognize a real good-bye
And i know your heart's not there
We've had our differences
We're still the same
Hear what we want to hear
Now i'm head over heels in the lost and found
It's a cryin' shame
I thought we made the perfect pair
Put yourself in my shoes
Walk a while walk that mile for me
I'll put myself in your shoes
Maybe then we'd see
That if you put yourself in my shoes
You'd have some sympathy
And if i could only put myself in your shoes
I'd walk right back to me
I'd walk right back to me
I'd walk right back to me

3. _ A Bad Goodbye
I've been bound to leave you, we've known that for awhile
I'm sure it's something i can't do if i can't leave you with a smile
I don't know how far i'll have to go 'til i'm sure those eyes won't cry
And in my mind i've left enough to know that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbyegoodbye, easier said than done
Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one
Whose goodbye you swore would never come
And in my goodbye you're finding none
I'm still bound to leave you, i surely don't know how
My heart won't let me put you through
What my mind says should happen now
I don't know where we'll go from here, there may be no way to fly
And the cloud i'm in just makes it all too clear that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbye
Repeat chorus
How can we be so far between where we are and one more try
And any way i look, i've only seen that i can't leave you
With a bad goodbye

4. _ Killin' Time
You were the first thing that i thought of
When i thought i drank you off my mind
When i get lost in the liquor
You're the only one i find
And if i did the things i oughta
You still would not be mine
So i'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
Gettin' loose and killin' time
This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' i won't see
That if i cross that line and they bury me
I just might find i'll be killin' time for eternity
I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I've been lost in yesterday
I've spent all my life just dying
For a love that passed away
And if there's an end to all my sorrow
And this is the only price i'll pay
I'll be a happy man when i go
And i can't wait another day
Repeat chorus

5. _ A Better Man
What do you say when it's over?
I don't know if i should say anything at all
One day we're rollin' in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall
Still, i think about the years since i first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And i don't know if words from me can still upset you
But i've just gotta make this memory stand clear
I know i'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things i couldn't do before, now i think i can
And i'm leavin here a better man
I guess i always knew i couldn't hold you
But i'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be
Repeat chorus
Still, i'm leavin' here a better man...
Repeat chorus

6. _ We Tell Ourselves
I oughta know the look in another's eyes
When there's something on their mind
I think i saw that look in a lover's eyes
They were looking into mine
Like we both had found the one we want
But found the one we wanted just quit trying
So we tell ourselves that what we found is what we meant to find
That's what we tell ourselves
You won't believe the things
A heart could tell a mind
Somehow we sell ourselves on love
I just don't think i'll believe my heart this time
I oughta know the language well
I've heard me tell myself these things before
I finally made my mind up
My heart tells me to look for something more
Determined not to wind up wondering was she the one
Well, you never can be sure

7. _ Half Way Up
I've seen it going around when you get bad news
Thinking that you found a darker shade of blues
Looking for the light and it's a long way back
You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black
Never was a man that ever felt this way
One who couldn't live to see another day
Hard times seem to have the corner on you
But you can rise from the ashes too
When i'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat
And even i believe i'm never gonna find my feet
Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around
One man's half way up is another man's half way down
Now you may decide it's a losing game
Even in your stride you're gonna call it lame
Getting one leg up when it's said and done
Is the hardest part no matter how you run
If you can walk away from a crash and burn
You'll appreciate every step you earn
And if you feel the ground is gaining on you
You're already bound to take a different view
When i'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat
And even i believe i'm never gonna find my feet
Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around
One man's half way up is another man's half way down
One man's ceiling is another man's floor
One man's wall could be another man's door
One man's smile is another man's frown
And there are miles of half way up or half way down

8. _ State Of Mind
Got a big leather suitcase, all i own's inside
Seems i've been walkin' for days, can't even bum a ride
Try steppin' to a tune, with the rhythm of a walkin' man
Mind drifts like a big balloon out of my situation at hand
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
Walkin' down a lonely highway not feelin' alone
Thinkin' back when things went my way and not the road i'm on
Well, i've been down a time or two, but it never lasted long
I can always make it through on a wing and a prayer and a song
Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love
It can get you singin' along
Chase the clouds away and make the sun shine above
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind
A melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind

9. _ Summer's Comin'
Nothin' on earth that'll get me hummin'
Like a heat wave comin' and i'll come runnin'
With her makin' that tan in the broad daylight
And every night is a saturday night
And everything's right with the summer comin'
I'm the first one standin' in line
For my day in the sun i've been workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Takin' off my hat leave it to the boys
Get that old work monkey down off my back
All i want's a little peace and noise
Hit the cruise control get me back on track
Let my old ford treat me like a cadillac
Repeat chorus
When the day gets cookin' gonna grab my toys
And it really doesn't matter which wave we're on
Get to turnin' up them good old boys
Crankin' into the night, by the break of dawn
All the towns are red and i still see blonde
Repeat chorus
For my day in the sun i've been workin'
'til the sun don't shine
For my day in the sun i've been workin'
'til the sun don't shine
Summer's comin' to shine
Summer's comin' to shine
Summer's comin'

10. _ Burn One Down
I guess you're off to have your fun
Another ending just begun
And i know what i don't see
Really shouldn't bother me
So go and have yourself a ball
You'll be at no one's beck and call
And with that fire in your eyes
Another lover's moon will rise
And someone else will take the fall
And that's just the way you are, i've known all along
Some candles always burn even when the night is gone
But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally
When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again
You can burn one down for me
So you don't matter anymore
I'll convince myself, i'm sure
As if i give a damn
That's just the way i am
So go on and pour yourself some wine
With who'll ever spend your time
'cause anyone can see you won't be crying over me
And you never were that kind

11. _ Cadillac Jack Favor
(clint black/hayden nicholas)
He's cadillac jack favor and the name rings true
If he's got a ride any stranger would too
The one bad habit that his ponder would say
Is sure gonna put him through the trials one day
And that's just what happened he took pity on two men
Heading down to louisiana, he stopped and let them in
And the thanks he did for helping them
Would make him wish he was busting broncs again
He dropped them off in bossieer city where they met up with a man
That vagabond commitee barely even had a plan
It was just a simple robbery turned double homicide
They got away with murder it'd be someone else's hide
Almost two years come and gone they never solved that crime
'til they found one of our vagabonds already doing time
When that jailbird started singing they all knew the words were wrong
But the sheriff and the da and the judge all sang along
They pinned it on jack favor, gave him life without parole
Gave jack's freedom to the jailbird, payment on the lies he told
Just so happens that election year everybody payed out at the polls
Cadillac's no fallen hero and he's never gonna break
When it comes to prison rodeo, there'll be no easy eight
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame
It'd be in the dictionary underneath jack favor's name
Cadillac's no fallen hero and he's never gonna break
When it comes to prison rodeo, there's still no easy eight
And if you want the definition of the picture-perfect frame
It'd be in the dictionary underneath jack favor's name
Yeah, it's the world's most crooked picture and when it comes to being framed
Cadillac jack favor should be in the hall of fame

12. _ Life Gets Away
We're tied to our memories
They won't let us stray
We're not gonna lose ones
We made yesterday
We look to our future
And we make all our plans
As if we control what is out of our hands
(chorus)
The world keeps on turning
I'm learning to see
Right where i am is where i have to be
You can't count the pages
All ages hear the call
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all
We start getting older
The moment we live
Look over your shoulder
There's hindsight to give
Come good days and bad days
The sun's gonna rise
So why look beyond what's in front of your eyes
Repeat chorus
No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all

13. _ A Good Run Of Bad Luck
A high roller even when the chips are down
To win her over, i'd seen the tables turn around
She's ten the hard way, i can feel it in my bones
She'll be makin' my day and not another night alone
'til it's time for a windfall and not a single moment too soon
I've been too long overdue, now i'm gonna shoot the moon
I'd bet it all on a good run of bad luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady, and i'm gonna find love comin' on the bottom line
I've been to the table, and i've lost it all before
I'm willin' and able, always comin' back for more
Squeezin' out a thin dime 'til there's no one hanging on my arm
I've gambled on a third time, a fool will tell you it's a charm
If i'm bettin' on a loser, i'm gonna have a devil to pay
But it's the only game i know to play, it doesn't matter anyway
Repeat chorus twice

14. _ Wherever You Go
Bottle of scotch whiskey not very smooth
Like snake bite cure from the medicine man
Not bad poison if there's something to soothe
It's a whole other world in the palm of your hand
Out of this world and out of your mind
Just like it don't matter what you're leaving behind
Trying to change your life you change your point of view
But no matter what you do it's the same old you
Wherever you go there you are
You can run from yourself but you won't get far
You can dive to the bottom of your medicine jar
But wherever you go there you are
Bottle of scotch whiskey whatever you find
When you're out on a wire it's a matter of time
Changing every moment when you're taking the fall
There's everything to gain when you're losing it all
Feel your head spinning with your feet on the ground
You climb the wrong ladder and it's keeping you down
Think you're gettin' higher but you're still layin' low
You don't want to be anyone you know
Repeat chorus
Once you've been bitten it's like crossing a line
It's a part of the plan all that's on your mind
Think that it'll help you find somebody to be
But the man in the mirror is all you'll see
Repeat chorus

15. _ No Time To Kill
There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave
Father time still takes a toll on every minute that you save
Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your days
The highest cost of livin's dyin', that's one everybody pays
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill
If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill
No time to kill, even i've said it and probably always will
But i can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry i've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin' back at where i've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill
If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had 'til we grow old
And do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to kill
Repeat chorus twice
No time to kill
No time to kill
No time to kill

16. _ Like The Rain
I never liked the rain until i walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more i might not get through
On the darkest day there's always light and now i see it too
But i never liked the rain until i walked through it with you
I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind
All the heaven's rivers come to light and i see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane
And when i hear it i just can't believe i never liked the rain
Like the rain i have fallen for you and i know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you i'm falling for you now
Just like the rain
When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me
It's as bright as lightning and i wonder why i couldn't see
That it's always good and when the flood is gone we still remain
Guess i've known all along i just belong here with you falling
Like the rain i have fallen for you and i know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you, i'm falling for you now
Just like the rain i have fallen for you
I'm falling for you know just like the rain
And when the night falls on our better days
And we're looking to the sky
For the winds to take us high above the plains
I know that we'll find better ways to look into the eye
Of the storms that will be calling
Forever we'll be falling
Like the rain i have fallen for you, and i know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, i'm falling for you now just
Like the rain i have fallen for you and i know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, i'm falling for you now just
Like the rain i have fallen for you and i know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, i'm falling for you now just
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
