1. _ Oh Me, Oh My, Sweet Baby
Chorus
Oh me, oh my, sweet baby said goodbye
Oh no one else could take her place in my life
Ooo we had something good
So tell me why she would
Go and make me cry, oh me,
Oh my, sweet baby said goodbye
I remember how she'd hold me
And say she'd stay forever true
Back then the future looked so rosey
But tonight it's lookin' mighty blue
Chorus
Don't know what i didn't give her
That she gets from someone new
I only know how much i miss her
And wish she hadn't broke my heart in two
Chorus

2. _ It Does Get Better Than This
Sunset, a clear blue lake
Fishing with the boys
A weekend hanging out with my best friends
Tall tales and ice cold beer
Well, i can't blame you guys
For saying this must be the living end
Chorus
Hold on, it does get better than this
If you were me
You couldn't disagree
'cause i've held her oh so tight
She's kept me up all night
I've tasted her kisses sweet as wine
Sure, this is a real good time
But pardon me boys
It does get better than this
Cool night, by the fire
At least a million stars
A cooler full of fat catfish to fry
Back slapping, telling jokes
And howling at the moon
I hear you saying, |
3. _ In A Week Or Two
(james house/gary burr)
In a week or two
I would have been ready
I would have known what to say
But i missed my chance
When the words "i love you"
Came just a little too late
In a week or two
I was gonna bring you diamonds
In a week or two
A long, long string of pearls and
We would've run down to the river at night
Sailed away, just me and you
In a week or two
A little more time
Was all i needed
But somehow fall became spring
But put off today
What you can do tomorrow
Sometimes you don't do a thing
In a week or two
I was gonna bring you diamonds
In a week or two
A long, long string of pearls and
We would've run down to the river at night
Sailed away, just me and you
In a week or two
These words in my heart never had a chance to be heard
But i'm telling you now for all that it's worth
In a week or two
I was gonna bring you diamonds
In a week or two
A long, long string of pearls and
We would've run down to the river at night
Sailed away, just me and you
In a week or two

4. _ This Romeo Ain't Got Julie Yet
Your mamma thinks i'm lazy,
Your daddy runs down my name
But you said you'd love me,
Come sunshine or come rain
Well i'll hold you to it julie,
Don't you fret and pout
This story has a happy ending
Even though for now
Chorus
This romeo ain't got julie yet
I love you so and you can bet
I'd follow you to timbuktu
Like scarlett followed rhett
But this romeo ain't got julie yet
Just meet me 'round the old man's
Barn 'bout ten o'clock tonight
I'll have my chevy humming
And take you for a ride
Throw the dog a big ole bone
And make sure your bags are packed
We're headed for that silver moon
And may never come back
Chorus
Yeah, i'd follow you to timbuktu
Like scarlett followed rhett
But this romeo ain't got julie yet

5. _ Sawmill Road
Me and billy joe and mary beth
Were raised up on the path
Of righteousness
Made a solemn vow that
We'd always be close
And never wander far from
Sawmill road
As the years went by the
World began to change
One by one we outgrew
Those childhood games
Momma cooked and cleaned
And worried 'bout our souls
We got into beer and cars
And rock 'n' roll
Chorus
We knew jesus was the answer
And elvis was the king
Blue suede shoes and rock of ages
Were the songs we learned to sing
Innocence went out of style
And we just watched it go
Yesterday got left beneath
The dust on sawmill road
Billy joe went to saigon for uncle sam
Now i go to see him, he don't know who i am
One a year i get a card from mary beth
She's with husband number four somewhere out west
I still live in this old house where we were raised
On this red dirt road the county never paved
Now i watch my kids and worry 'bout their souls
And pray they'll never wander far from sawmill road
Chorus
Me and billy joe and mary beth
Were raised up on the path of righteousness.

6. _ Calling All Hearts (come Back Home)
To the father and the son who never talk,
Come back home
To the husband and the wife who are both at fault,
Come back home
Forget the past and start again
Face to face and make amends
Calling out around the world
Every heartbroken boy, every lonely girl
Take what's right and forgive what's wrong
I'm calling all hearts to come back home
From the single mom trying to make ends meet
Daddy come back home
From the parents of the child living out on the street
Baby come back home
Forget the past and start again
Face to face and make amends
Can i hear an amen |
7. _ Close To The Egde
Well i've always been a rounder
With a passion for the road
Respect for all the ladies
But easy come and easy go
Love was only in the movies
Not the answer to my dreams
But you're pushin' different buttons
And pullin' different strings
Chorus
You've got my heart a-coverin'
Some unfamiliar ground
I've never felt like this before
Until you came around
If i ain't already fallin'
I guess it could be said
I'm walkin' mighty close to the edge
It's not too late to turn around
But i'm feeling quite concerned
One more kiss might take me
Past the point of no return
Oh, you've got me sendin' flowers
And all sorts of crazy things
I even caught myself a-gazin' at
A fourteen-carat ring
Chorus

8. _ Demons And Angels
He swore it was over and all in his past
A few hours later his hand's 'round a glass
A voice on the left says,

9. _ Nothing In This World
Well since the day the world began
I know god has had a master plan
He made a sky to hold the sun
He made sands to hold the sea
He made hearts for neverending love
And he made you for me
Chorus
No hurricane, no driving rain
Has our kind of power
No valley wide, no mountainslide
Can hold a love like ours
No ocean deep, no fire's heat
Can break a bond so true
Nothing, nothing, nothing in this world's
As strong as me and you
Through all the days and darkest nights
Our love will be the guiding light
With every breath i take
And every day i'm awake
This love of ours will never fade
Until the end of time
Chorus
Oh, no love i know of,
Can hold me like you do
Chorus
Strong as me and you
As strong as me and you.

10. _ I Was Meant To Be With You
It started out when adam
First laid his eyes on eve
Something passed between them
That came down through history
Carried by an angel
Whispered on the breeze
It waited till the time was right
Then it found you and me
Chorus
It must be written on a block of stone
Buried by sand in an ancient land
Carved upon the side of the oldest tree
It must be more than just a dream come true
Yes i believe the good lord always knew
I was meant to be with you
Standing here beside you
In my heart i know
This love that we were meant to share
Began so long ago
As sure as rain was made to fall
And mountains made to stand
I was born to be with you
There was nothing left to chance
Chorus
From the beginning to the end of time
I was to be yours, you were to be mine

11. _ Old Weakness (coming On Strong)
She's back in town
Haven't seen her yet
But i know that that won't last
Soon i'll turn around
And be face to face
With a feeling from my past
Chorus
She's an old weakness
From a place i fell
She's an old heartache
One that time didn't heal too well
It's an old story
'bout a love gone wrong
Just an old weakness
Coming on strong
My hands still shake
And my heart still aches
Just knowing she's this close
Those steel blue eyes
And the way she smiles
Are the things i fear the most
Chorus
I know the truth is showing
I know i should be going home
Chorus
Just an old weakness
Coming on strong
