Greatest Hits

(bob dipiero/john jarrard/mark d. sanders)

Mirror, mirror, on my wall,
Tell me, who is the loneliest fool of all
No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me

Spent most of the morning laying in bed
Lunch was a black coffee and three cigarettes
They say it will kill me, but i've got a hunch
That this broken heart's gonna beat 'em to the punch

Mirror, mirror, on my wall,
Tell me, who is the loneliest fool of all
No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me

Yes, i'm the one who swore she would stay
Right up to the moment the u-haul drove away
She didn't leave a table; she didn't leave a chair
But she knew what she was doing when she left you hanging there

Mirror, mirror, on my wall,
Tell me, who is the loneliest fool of all
No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me

No, wait a minute, i believe i see
The answer staring back at me

Barney works down at the a&p
He drives a baby blue a.m.c.
Ain't missed of day of work in 13 years
He's a fire department volunteer

He's got a yard that's always just been mowed
Collected stamps since he was 10 years old
You've never seen a more regular guy
But when the sun goes down on friday night

Chorus

Slaps on his hai karate after shave
Puts on his elvis jacket custom-made
Gets in his patent leather zebra boots
Fires up his super sport malibu
He burns the rubber 'cross the county line
A honky tonkin' fool till closing time
You ought to see him metamorphosize
From barney jekyll into bubba hyde

Monday morning it's a suit and tie
Attention shoppers there's a two-for-one buy
Tuesday afternoon he mans the wheel
Makes his round in the bookmobile

He's got a wednesday night canasta game
Thursday's the tourney at the bowling lanes
His friends would freak out if they only knew
The party animal he turns into

Chorus

You oughta see him metamorphosize
From barney jekyll into bubba hyde

(annie roboff/craig wiseman)

Sometimes a careless word just rolls right off my tongue
Now matter what i do it leaves you all undone
Hey baby no need to go crazy over some little something i've said
Can't you see you're the keeper of my heart
Even when i lose my head

We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

Sometimes the whisper of love gets lost in the angry shout
Even hearts that are in this deep might think about an easy way out
One honest touch makes those worries just fade like stars at dawn
These occasional moments of weakness
Only makes our love more strong

We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

It gets easier all the time
Oh and harder and harder to leave behind

We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

(steven dale jones/bobby tomberlin)

They were quite a pair
The way that love should be
They still held hands
For the world to see
She's thankful that she had him all those years
But she still has days she can't hold back the tears

She misses their monday night bowling league
When they'd wear their matching shirts
She misses their wednesday night dinner out
As soon as he got home from work
And saturday morning sleeping late
Holding each other close
But she misses him on sunday the most

She sits alone on that same old pew again
His tenor voice still echoes now and then
It brings back all those memories of him there by her side
What she'd give for one more sunday drive

She misses their monday night bowling league
When they'd wear their matching shirts
She misses their wednesday night dinner out
As soon as he got home from work
And saturday morning sleeping late
Holding each other close
But she misses him on sunday the most
But she misses him on sunday the most

(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

(max t. barnes/trey bruce)

I'm no poet and i know it
I don't use five dollar words
This might not sound like much compared to all the pretty things you've heard
But here's how i'd explain it since you brought it up
It won't sound like anybody else's version of love

It's like just before dark
Jump in the car
Buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kinda feelin'
That's how your love makes me feel inside
There's a cow in the road and you swerve to the left
Fate skips a beat and it scares you to death and you laugh until you cry
That's how your love makes me feel inside

It might not be more suitable for greeting cards and such
But it's a true and honest feeling and if you feel it half as much
We could go through life together without a worry or a care
Knowing deep down in our hearts that we've got something special here

It's like just before dark
Jump in the car
Buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kinda feelin'
That's how your love makes me feel inside
There's a cow in the road and you swerve to the left
Fate skips a beat and it scares you to death and you laugh until you cry
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how your love makes me feel

I have always heard you can't put love into words

It's like just before dark
Jump in the car
Buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kinda feelin'
That's how your love makes me feel inside
There's a cow in the road and you swerve to the left
Fate skips a beat and it scares you to death and you laugh until you cry
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how i feel
That's how your love makes me feel

It was seven hundred fenceposts from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was raining, sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

It's been seven years tomorrow since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now
Standing in the back yard reminding me and you
That if we don't see eye to eye there's something we can do

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

Babe i love the way we work it out
That's what love's about

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle

I'd start walking your way
You'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle
'neath that old georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground
'cause we'd both give a little
And their ain't no road to long
When you meet in the middle
