1. _ Too Many Pockets
(darryl worley/steve leslie)
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many choices and it's only getting worse
Too many things that i could do today
Too many stops along the way
I miss the way it used to be
Back when there were just two channels on t.v.
That way of life was so much easier
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things i'll never use
I'm gonna find a one-lane road
Where there's only one way i can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things i'll never use
I'm gonna find a one lane road
Where there's only one way i can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Wish i could get back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many pockets on my shirt

2. _ The Way Things Are Goin'
(darryl worley/sanders)
The way things are goin' in my life
I'm headed for disaster
Livin' fast and faster
A rebel on a roller coaster ride
That's the way things are goin' in my life
The very folks that mean the most to me
They're as distant as the sunset
I need 'em every one yet
I hurt 'em till they just can't hardly be
The very folks that mean the most to me
It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demandin'
But somehow she's still standin' here with me
If i could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess i'd pray for some serenity...but that ain't me
And the way things are goin' in my life
I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are goin' in my life
It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demandin'
But somehow she's still standin' here with me
If i could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess i'd pray for some serenity
I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are goin' in my life
Yeah, that's the way things are goin' in my life

3. _ Feels Like Work
(darryl worley/leslie)
All day long i break my back
To keep this company in the black
There's gotta be an end to all this labor
When i hear that whistle blow
I can't wait to see your smiling face and
Lose myself in your embrace
But lately every day when i walk in
Oh it feels like work again
So maybe we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again
Now life, it ain't no fairy tale
And i guess we know all too well
How sometimes it can get a little crazy
Yeah, that's the way it is
So we just keep on going
But there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
So baby we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again
Yeah, we just keep on going
'cause there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
Yeah when it feels like work again

4. _ When You Need My Love
(darryl worley/wynn varble)
Two in the morning telephone rings
Somehow i knew who it was
'cause baby it's always the same old thing
When you need my love
You say it's over again and again
This time you've had enough
Girl i know you've been fighting with him
When you need my love
Oh i wish i could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart
He'll call tomorrow with the same ol' line
And you'll forget about us
I'll be lonely until the next time
When you need my love
Oh i wish i could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart
Now someday someone's gonna love me true
And baby when she does
Then i wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love
Yeah, then i wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love
When you need my love
When you need my love
What are you gonna do

5. _ Sideways
(darryl worley/j.b. rudd/vip vipperman)
I show up for work on time at least five days a week
Punch that clock and toe the line just to make ends meet
Every day on my way home i pass them neon lights
But i been thinking all day long about stopping in tonight
I might get a little sideways
Like i did in the old days
Every once in awhile you know
I slip off the straight and narrow
Sitting down on a barstool
Cutting up like a dang fool
Now and then on fridays
I might get a little sideways
I'm gonna call my baby up when that quitting whistle blows
Girl put on your dancing shoes and grab my party clothes
Meet me down at the rendezvous on highway seventeen
We'll stoke up that jukebox and let off a little steam
We might get a little sideways
Like we did in the old days
Every once in awhile you know
We slip off the straight and narrow
Sitting down on a barstool
Cutting up like a dang fool
Now and then on fridays
We might get a little sideways

6. _ Is It Just Us
(jerry salley/darryl worley)
Today i drove through this ol' town
Took a real good look around
Saw a lot of things i'd never seen before
An older couple holding hands
Young lovers picking out wedding bands
Things i'd never noticed
Until my eyes met yours
Now i'm seeing things i've never seen
Dreaming dreams i've never dreamed
There's been such a change in me
Since i felt your touch
Everywhere i go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
When you walk with your head down
All you see's the cold hard ground
But i looked up in time to catch a glimpse of you
If everyone on god's green earth
Knew true love and what it's worth
They'd know how i'm feeling
And share my point of view 'cause
Now i'm seeing things i've never seen
Dreaming dreams i've never dreamed
There's been such a change in me
Since i felt your touch
Everywhere i go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
Everywhere i go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
Is it just us

7. _ Second Wind
(darryl worley/steve leslie)
There's an old friendly breeze that blows in the gulf of mexico
Somehow it always knows when i'm feeling low
So i'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around
Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah that's how i'll pass the time
Till i catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength i lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess i'll just stay out here until i know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till i catch my second wind
There's a peace in the way i feel when the water's still
And as long as it's calm out here i've got time to kill
But as soon as it starts to stir i'll lose track of the way things were
Float away on the open air, but i'm not going anywhere
Till i catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength i lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess i'll just stay out here until i know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till i catch my second wind

8. _ A Good Day To Run
(darryl worley/bobby tomberlin)
I'm tired of working every day for a dollar
About to choke on my own blue collar
This ain't gonna last
Misled by the grand illusion
I've come to this conclusion
I can't make a move too fast
It was written in the sky today
By the morning sun it sure looks like a good day to run
Wide open down a two-lane highway
It's about time that some things went my way
Throwing troubles out to the wind and
I'm praying that they never catch up again
I'm gonna say my worrying days are done
And this looks like a good day to run
My baby's been working as a cashier
She didn't get a vacation this past year
Now it won't be long
We don't need no destination
Just a tank of gas and a good clear station
Playing our favorite song
There're some places that we ain't been
Some things we ain't done
And it sure looks like a good day to run
Wide open down a two-lane highway
It's about time that some things went my way
Throwing troubles out to the wind and
I'm praying that they never catch up again
I'm gonna say my worrying days are done
And this looks like a good day to run

9. _ Those Less Fortunate Than I
(mark nesler)
I don't have a lot, but i'm proud of what i've got
I can't complain
'cause i see people hangin' round, on the city streets downtown
Living on pocket change
There're times i've been confused, felt that i was born to lose
Oh but i survived
Unlike the one's who pray and feel more than blessed each day
To just be still alive
Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
The only hope they have will die
In the hearts of you and i if nothing's ever done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but god forbid that i just turn my head
And walk on by
Don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than i
Seems that old golden rule, that i learned back in school
Has lost its shine
It's a crying shame, and i wonder could the blame
Be yours and mine
Discipline was tough, and that old principal was rough
But the times were good
'cause no one ever found one single child shot down
In the neighborhood
Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
'cause every day that passes by
Another street gang victim dies
And still there's nothing done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but god forbid that i just run away somewhere and hide
From the fear and the danger of those less fortunate than i
Lord don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than i

10. _ Who's Gonna Get Me Over You?
(tony martin/mark nesler)
When she walked out on me you hung around
Said you couldn't stand to see me going down
And that someday i'd forget all about her in time
You were right she's the last thing on my mind
Now you say that since i'm feeling strong again
You're leaving and you'll always be my friend
Thanks to you, i know now what love is all about
There's just one little thing that you left out
Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you
You put together all she tore apart
But somewhere along the way i lost my heart
You had me believing i could make it on my own
Right up to the moment you were gone
Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you

11. _ If I Could Just Be Me
(darryl worley/leslie)
I'd like to lay this old hammer down
Drive my pickup truck to town
Find a friend and just hang around
If i could just be me
Grab a bobber and my old cane pole
Spend a evenin' at the fishin' hole
Why i wouldn't hurt a soul
If i could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
But i'm not the kind of man to just go along
Now and then i need a chance to be who i am
Maybe sing a different song
I need to put my worries on a shelf
Take some time to get to know myself
I wouldn't have to be nobody else
If i could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
But i'm not the kind of man to just go along
Now and then i need a chance to be who i am
Maybe sing a different song
If i didn't have these bills to pay
If i could really have my way
I'd lay around and love on you all day
If i could just be me
If i didn't have these bills to pay
If i could just be me
If i could just be me
If i could just be me
