1. _ I Wish I Could
Looking out my window
See you playing in the leaves
It's amazing how a little girl
Means all the world to me
When i tell you that i love you
I love you more than words can say
Smile, say cheese pretty-please
I wanna take your picture
How'd you ever get so big
I gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away
I wish i could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish i could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish i could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know i can't, i know i can't
But i wish i could
When you kiss me for no reason
It goes straight to my heart
When i feel your arms around me
I almost fall apart
It's time for bed you whisper
Daddy, we forgot to pray
I wish i could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish i could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish i could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know i can't, i know i can't
But i wish i could
And when i watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face
I wish i could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish i could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish i could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know i can't, i know i can't
I know i can't
But i wish i could

2. _ April Fool
I'm just a fool for april
There's nothing more to say
Long as i can remember
She's led my heart astray
When i was green as willow
She had me ditchin' school
And even then she tricked me
I'm just an april fool
She tangles dogwood blossoms
Into her yellow hair
She uses the same perfume
The smoky mountains wear
She keeps the flame of summer
'round her neck like a jewel
She breezes in to see me
And i'm an april fool
She entrances me and she dances me
And she flies me like a kite
And i soon forget she's only come to play
Then there comes a day when she will not stay
And i lie awake all night
Hoping next time april may
When i walked out this morning
April had up and gone
And it clear as water
She'd only led me on
And it will be next winter
Before my heels will cool
And then i will forgive her
I'm just an april fool
She knows i will forgive her
I'm just an april fool

3. _ Survivors
You've been my best friend all these years
You've kept holding on to me through all the trials and the tears
Only you and i could know all the sacrifices
That let this feeling grow
There were so many times we could have said goodbye
We could have called it quits but honey you and i
We're survivors we made through the storm
When i've needed shelter i've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
There were times i lost my mind
Took some wrong turns you got me back in line
There were times you lost control
But i stood by you i loved you heart and soul
When faith was tested and dreams were fading fast
We held each other close until the rain had passed
We're survivors we made through the storm
When i've needed shelter i've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
A little time and tenderness
Has seen us through the years
We'll still be side by side
When the final smoke has cleared
We're survivors we made through the storm
When i've needed shelter i've found it in your arms
Survivors in love enough to fight
Together in this thing for life
Together in this thing for life

4. _ Someone You Used To Know
I ain't gonna lie to you
And say it didn't hurt
To see you with someone new
And you were wearing my old blue shirt
But it didn't kill me until we said hello
And i became someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But i never knew how quickly i would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Bet you didn't tell him
'bout those weekends at the coast
Or how we used to argue
'bout who loved who the most
Well i guess i won that one, 'cause i still need you so
But to you i'm just someone you used to know
Like a friend, like a fool
Like some guy you knew in school
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said we were through
But i never knew how quickly i would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
Didn't we love, didn't we share
Or don't you even care
I know we said that we were through
But i never knew how quickly i would go
From someone you loved
To someone you used to know
I'm not someone you love
I'm someone you used to know

5. _ Dark Secrets (instrumental)

6. _ Anyone Else
Baby, i bought wine and roses on my way home
Yeah, i know we can't afford it but life doesn't last too long
This world has gone half crazy
And knocked us both to our knees
I'm fumbling for the words to try and tell ya i love you for hangin' on to me
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what i put you through
Yeah, anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on account of rain
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone else but you
Mayday baby, all the rivets popped loose, it's a total tailspin
Too much grindstone, too little time with you
Girl, you know it's wearing thin
Baby, let's trade in these teardrops for warm kisses on skin
You got a drawer full ious and it's high time you called those things in
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what i put you through
Yeah, anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on account of rain
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone else but you
You've passed up so many chances to walk right out the door
Instead of dodging a champagne cork and watchin' the wet clothes fall to the floor
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And you can hide behind a cheshire cat grin
But you know it's true, yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on account of rain
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone but you
Girl, anyone but you

7. _ Corner Of The Heart
Way down at the bottom
Both sides come together and form a v
And that's what mama calls
The corner of the heart
She says a lot of couples never turn that corner
They don't love that deep
They care a little while
Then they drift apart
Well now baby if you wonder why
I'm telling you all of this
It's because something is changing
I can feel it when we kiss
And if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, i am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Back in albuquerque
Near the river there was a cottonwood
One summer hooked up
With a climbing rose
And by the time it snowed
They were so tangled
Nothin' on earth could
Get that handsome couple to let go
Well now baby this world spins too quick
For the eye to see
The slow changing of a stranger into family
But if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, i am
Turning the corner of the heart
Yes if the moon keeps rising
You better hold on, i am
Turning the corner of of the heart
Turning the corner of the heart
Turning the corner of the heart
Corner of the heart

8. _ All My Roads
Looking back from where i stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns i had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here
'cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love i share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
I don't regret a single broken heart
That taught me what love is and what it's not
Someone must have planned our two paths would cross
I couldn't see it then but i was never lost
'cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love i share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you
Detours, dead ends, endless explorations
You were my only destination
'cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love i share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

9. _ Start Over Georgia
I think i feel like an old beat up two lane
The one that the state's not about to repair
From where i'm falling i think i might meet you
Below where we were just above just don't care
The way the world's changing i just can't accept it
No right or wrong all in between
The faith we were raised on is weathered and shaken
But baby it don't have to be
'cause i still believe in a prayer before supper
And passing the time round the old courthouse square
We've got nothing to keep us from start over georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
Well i've never been to that part of the country
Save for some old movies and deep in my mind
Where it's accepted and even rewarded
To stand on your own right side of the line
Nobody wins here, we're all scare of losing
I feel scarred right down to the bone
Maybe we'll find ourselves close to the ocean
Where freedom first breathes on it's own
'cause i still believe in a prayer before supper
And passing the time round the old courthouse square
We've got nothing to keep us from start over georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there
Oh we've got nothing to keep us from start over georgia
We'll leave all the baggage and start over there

10. _ Make Sure You've Got It All
I'm watching you go from room to room
With all your boxes and your broom
Packing up, sweeping out, and taking down
From off the wall
Everything that's part of us
Tear my whole world down if you must
Don't even leave one little speck of dust
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when i fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Don't even leave one photograph
The memory of one smile or laugh
Check the closet up in the attic and down the hall
Take your time, take your rings
Take the sandbox and the swings
Without a family oh, they're just things
Make sure you've got it all
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when i fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all
Take one last look around
Girl, before you leave
And make sure you've got it all

11. _ The Eleventh Commandment
She hears his heavy breathing in the dark
His footsteps coming closer down the hall
She's so ashamed, she's daddy's secret love
She wants to cry, she wants to die, but he can't get enough
The bruises on his face will go away
Mom keeps him home from school till they fade
She's sorry he was born and tells him so
He takes it in, he hangs his chin, he ducks another blow
Did god overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
He cries for hours, cries and never stops
He shakes so hard his little cradle rocks
He'll never have the chance to be brand new
He'll never walk, he'll never talk, he's addicted too
Did god overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not take the lord's name in vain
Thou shalt not cause thy children pain
God does not overlook it
What ought have been written
The eleventh commandment
Honor thy children
Honor thy children

12. _ I Can Still Feel You
It's that feeling that someone
Is standing behind me
And i turn around and there's no one there
And it's the sensation
That someone just whispered
Yeah and i still hear your voice but you're not really here
Your memory is like a ghost
And my heart is it's host
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, i can still feel you, i can still feel you, i can still feel you
You said you'd love me forever
Then you said it's over
And left me without the missing link
I thought i'd forget you
But i guess i forgot to
And lately i've been too confused to think
When i reach for someone new
It's like i'm touching you
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, i can still feel you, i can still feel you, i can still feel you
In everything that moves
In everything i do
I can still feel you just as close as skin
Every now and then
All by myself, in a crowded room, or my empty bed
There's a place you've touched
With your love no one gets close to
I can still feel you, i can still feel you, i can still feel you, i can still feel you
Oh i can still feel you

13. _ The Walls Came Down
Today the air cleared up
The lights came on bright
Years of heavy weight
In a moment turned light
I'd thought love could only look
Dark as if through a glass
I just turned into an open book
Reading easy at last
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
I've never trusted much
Got my reasons like most
Stayed well protected from
Every thorn on each rose
Taking those wayward trips
Only to turn back and run
Sailing all my relationships
Could not have dreamed up this one
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
You make sense to me
In a world where just a few things do make sense to me
In your heart i'll put my trust
Through whatever is in front of us
Tonight my walls came down
Like a brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound
Like old jericho
Laid swift to the ground
I'm not sure when, but baby you're how
The walls came down
Ooh baby you're how the walls came down
Oh the walls came down
I'm not sure when but baby your how
The walls came down
Baby your how the walls came down
