Somebody Should Leave
Written by Howard Harlan and Chick Rains
Performed by Reba McEntire
It sure gets quiet
When the kids go to bed
We sit here inthe silence
Putting off what must be said
I read a book you watch T.V.
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad I don't know what I've just read
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin' somehow
We might need each other again
You say goodnight
And turn to face the wall
We lie here in the darkness
And the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me
Goodbye might come more easily
But what about
Those babies down the hall
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin' somehow
We might need each other again
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
So let's keep hopin' we might need each other again

Only One You
Written by Michael Garvin and Bucky Jones
Performed by TG Sheppard
I've seen this world from corner to corner
There ain't much ground that I haven't covered
I've drank it's wine
I've tasted it's pleasures
I've known some love
And I've known some lovers
If there's one lesson in the livin' I've done
The best things only come along in numbers of one
There's only one Eiffel Tower
One finest hour
One New York town
One 5th Avenue
There's only one Mona Lisa
One Leaning Tower Of Pisa
One Paris and there's only one you
I've been a king
And I've been a pauper
And everything there is in between
It took some time to know what is timeless
But I've found and learned what that means
I'll never leave you, girl
'Cause I know the catch
Wonders of this world
Will never come with a match
There's only one Eiffel Tower
One finest hour
One New York town
One 5th Avenue
There's only one Mona Lisa
One Leaning Tower Of Pisa
One Paris and there's only one you
There's only one Eiffel Tower
One finest hour

One 5th Avenue
There's only one Mona Lisa
One Leaning Tower Of Pisa

Houston (Mean's I'm One Step Closer to You)
Written by Larry Gatlin
Performed by Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers
Houston, Houston means
that I'm one day closer to you.
Oh, honey, Houston, Houston means the
last day of the tour and we're through
Well, honey,
You and God in heaven above
know I love what I do for a living, I do,
Ah, but Houston, Houston means
that I'm one day closer to you
Singin at the world's biggest rodeo show
was a great time for me and the guys
Ah, but when I'm a way from you, honey,
time always never flies
Sleepin' alone in the holiday hotel
sure can make a cowboy blue
But here I am in Houston
and I'm one day closer to you.
Houston, Houston means

(Turn Our the Light) and Love Me Tonight
Written by Bob McDill
Performed by Don Williams
I've been lonesome,
I've been empty
I got an achin',
Way down inside
I need someone,
Someone to hold me
Pull down the shade,
Turn out the light
And love me tonight.
Don't think about tomorrow
It don't matter any more
We can turn the key
And lock the world outside the door.
I need you so now
Come on let's go now
Kick off your shoes,
Turn out the light
And love me tonight.
Now don't you worry
We're all alone now
Let your hair down
Sit by my side
Turn off the T.V.
Put on some music
Pull down the shade
Turn out the light
And love me tonight
Don't think about tomorrow
It don't matter any more
We can turn the key
And lock the world outside the door.
I need you so now
Come on let go now
Kick off your shoes
Turn out the light
And love me tonight...

Gumboots
Written by Paul Simon, Lulu Masilela, Johnson L. Mkhalali
Performed by Paul Simon
I was having this discussion
In a taxi heading downtown
Rearranging my position
On this friend of mine who had
A little bit of a breakdown
I said breakdowns come
And breakdowns go
So what are you going to do about it
That's what I'd like to know
You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could
It was in the early morning hours
When I fell into a phone call
Believing I had supernatural powers
I slammed into a brick wall
I said hey, is this my problem?
Is this my fault?
If that's the way it's going to be
I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt
You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could
You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could
I was walking down the street
When I thought I heard this voice say
Say, ain't we walking down the same street together
On the very same day
I said hey Senorita that's astute
I said why don't we get together
And call ourselves an institute
You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could
You don't feel you could love me
But I feel you could

Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes
Written by Paul Simon and Joseph Shabalala
Performed by Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo
(a-wa) O kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange
(a-wa a-wa) Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing Ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes

From Porch Looking In
Written by Frank Myers, Don Pfrimmer and Richie McDonald
Performed by Lonestar
Oh yeah
Yeah oh yeah
The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look at my front porch and this panoramic view
I can sit and watch the fields fill up
With rays of glowing sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences
Like that's where it was hung
My blessings are in front of me
It's not about the land
I'll never beat the view
From my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
And the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in, yeah
I've traveled here and everywhere
Following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home
To the one he made for me
It's anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away
Like my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in
I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in
Not when I'm looking out
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most

She's Always A Woman
Written by Billy Joel
Performed by Billy Joel
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--
Bridge
CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Hypnotize the Moon
Written by Eric Kaz and Steve Dorff
Performed by Clay Walker
She knew she caught my eye
And that was all it took
Ain't it just strange how forever changed
With just one look
The magic filled the night
She touched my soul like no one else
Yes, the way that woman made me feel
Left me talking to myself
You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She can charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon.
Once I held her close
I knew just where I stood
No, you never get a second chance
To ever feel so good
Then and there I knew
These words were etched in stone
If you can't feel the power of
The greatest love you've known
You better run for cover
You better hide your heart
'Cause once you start to love her
You know you'll never stop
She shines like a diamond
When she walks into a room
She can charm the stars
Hypnotize the moon.

AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT ON THIS ALBUM
THE LAST VERSE GOES LIKE THIS HERE:
WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON
AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN
BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK
SHE GOT RUN NED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN
CHORUS:
AND I’LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME
AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING’ IN THE RAIN
NO, A’ YOU DON’T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN’, DARLIN’
YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME
WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON’T CALL ME
WHY DON’T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME

Lying Here With Linda On My Mind
Written by Conway Twitty
Performed by Conway Twitty
Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her cryin'
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
Yes I know that I once loved her and I place no one above her
And I never thought I'd ever set her free
But it just wasn't in my plans the way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me
She said I've loved you for such a long time but you're married to a friend of mine
And I try hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger and I can't hide it any longer
And so I thought I'd better let you know
Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind
And Lord it's killing me to see her cryin'
She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind

Whoever's In New England
Written by Kendal Franceschi and Quentin Powers
Performed by Reba McEntire
You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts
Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there
You say that its important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
Each time duty calls you've got to give it all
You've got with all your heart
When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New Englands through with you
I hear the winter time up north can last forever
And I've been told its beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear
I've packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again theres just one thing you outta know
When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me
Who feels the cold most of all
When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to come back to
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

Rose Colored Glasses
Written by John Conlee and George Baber
Performed by Jon Conlee
I don't know why I keep on believin' you need me
When you prove so many times that it ain't true
And I can't find one good reason for stayin'
Maybe my leavin' would be the best for you
But these rose colored glasses that I'm lookin' through
Show only the beauty, cause they hide all the truth
And they let me hold onto the good times, the good lines
The ones I used to hear when I held you.
And they keep me from feeling so cheated, defeated
When reflections in your eyes show me a fool.
These rose colored glasses I'm looking through
Show only the beauty, cause they hide all the truth
So I'll just keep on hopin', believin' that maybe
by counting the many times I've tried
You'll believe me when I say I love you and I'll lay
these rose colored glasses aside
These rose colored glasses I'm looking through
Show only the beauty, cause they hide all the truth

If It Don't Come Easy
Written by Dave Gibson and Craig Karp
Performed by Tanya Tucker
I know a man, a good friend of mine;
He spends all his time tryin' to make love work out right.
But the woman he loves, she don't feel the same, no;
I don't know much about love but at least I learned one thing:
If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.
I know a woman, she's got a heart of gold.
You know she'd do anything to make her man feel right at home.
But the man she loves, now, he's a restless kind of guy,
I wish there was a way I could make her realise.
That if it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it go, yeah.
Let it go, though it's hard I know;
Let it loose, I tell you, it's no use.
If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.
Don't make it hard on your heart, when you might be better off alone,
If it don't come easy, you better let it,
You better let it,
You better let it go.
If it don't come easy, you better let it go.
'Cos when it don't come easy, there's no natural flow.

Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her
Written by Dean Dillon
Performed by George Strait
I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire
To that old flame that burns inside of me.
She cried when I left her, now I cry to forget her.
Oh, how foolish I was to ever want to leave.
'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her.
I had to be crazy to say goodbye.
Nobody in his right mind would've left her.
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.
I still carry her picture; I wish her well
With the new love I know she's found by now.
Each night finds me dreamin’, each day I spend thinkin’
How much I wish she was still around.
'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her.
I had to be crazy to say goodbye.
Nobody in his right mind would've left her.
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.

Thank God I'm A Country Boy
Written by John Martin Sommers
Performed by John Denver
Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
I thank God I'm a country boy
Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
A raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife, I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
And life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
When the work's all done and the sun's settlin' low
I pull out the fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
Thank God I'm a country boy
I'd play, Sally Goodin' all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can an' I work when I should
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy, ooo
Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools
Thank God I'm a country boy
Yea, city folk drivin' in a black limousine
A lotta sad people thinkin' that's a mighty keen
Well son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
I thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy
Well, my fiddle was my daddy's, till the day he died
And he took me by the hand, held me close to his side
Said, "Live a good life, play my fiddle with pride
An' thank God you're a country boy"
Well my daddy taught me young
How to hunt and how to whittle
Taught me how to work, to play a tune on the fiddle
He taught me how to love an' how to give just a little
An' thank God I'm a country boy
Well I got me a fine wife I got me ol' fiddle
When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle
Ooo, thank God I'm a country boy, yes

He Leadeth Me
Written by Joseph H. Gilmore
He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful foll’wer I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Refrain
Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.
Refrain
And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
Refrain
He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
Whate’er I do, where’er I be
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
Refrain:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful foll’wer I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Refrain
Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,

Crazy Train
Written by Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads, Bob Daisley
Performed by Ozzy Osbourne
All aboard! Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa!
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Let's Go!
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Except For Sunday
Written by Reed Nielsen
Performed by Lorrie Morgan
You look surprised
You didn't think you'd see me
Kicking up my heels
Painting up this toes
When you said goodbye
I learned a couple new dances
I cast a couple of glances
I'm on a big roll now
- Chorus -
Except for Monday, which was never good anyway
Tuesday, I get a little side ways
Wednesday, I feel better just for spite
Thursday and Friday take too long
Before I know it, Saturday's gone
But it's Sunday now and you can bet that I'm all right
Dont' get me wrong
It wasn't always this easy
Getting over you
Got a little rough on me
Didn't take too long
'Til I got it together
And everyday I thank my lucky stars you set me free
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Garden Party
Written by Ricky Nelson
Performed by Ricky Nelson
I went to a garden party, reminisced with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party they all knew my name
But no one recognized me I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please everyone so
You got to please yourself
People came from miles around everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus there was magic in the air
And over in the corner much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please everyone so
You got to please yourself
la da da da, la da da da
I played them all the old songs I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please everyone so
You got to please yourself
la da da da, la da da da

Playing guitar like a ring an' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties I wish you a lot a' luck
But if memories were all I sang I'd rather drive a truck
And it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please everyone so
You got to please yourself
la da da da, la da da da
Performed by Ricky Nelson
I went to a garden party, reminisced with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party they all knew my name
But no one recognized me I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please everyone so
You got to please yourself
People came from miles around everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus there was magic in the air
And over in the corner much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please everyone so
You got to please yourself
la da da da, la da da da
I played them all the old songs I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see you can't please everyone so
You got to please yourself
la da da da, la da da da

Fallin Again
Written by Teddy Gentry, Greg Fowler and Randy Owen
Performed by Alabama
Thinking of the faces I've seen
Back when I was young and green
I was falling back then
Now I'm workin' on building a fire
And flirtin' with that ol' desire
And fallin' again into the wind
I fall in love again, I'm fallin' again
Well you'd think that I would learn by now
To keep from falling somehow
But I'm fallin' again
'Cause when I caught that look in your eyes
That's when I realized
I was fallin' again into the wind
I fall in love again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
I fall in love again
Fallin' again into the wind
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
I fall in love again
Fallin' again into the wind

Fallin' again into the wind
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
I fall in love again
Fallin' again into the wind
