1. _ Is That A Tear
The last thing i expected was to get her call tonight
'cause the last thing that i'd heard from her
Was she'd found mr. right
But when i came home this evenin'
There it was on my machine
Now i'm just wondering what the hell it means
(chorus)
She said she's sorry that she missed me
And she's been doin' just fine
I've run it back and heard her say
Those words a hundred times
But something makes me wonder
Is she happy with her choice
Or is that a tear i hear in her voice
___
The first time that i listened
I thought boy she's got some nerve
But the second time i heard it
I heard more than just her words
Am i just wishful thinkin
Or did her voice really crack
I'll never know if i don't call her back
(repeat chorus)
(tag)
Oh is that a tear
Lord is that a tear i hear in her voice

2. _ Better Man, Better Off
The hardest thing i'll ever do
Is to walk away still loving you
I'd give anything if you loved me
But somethings just ain't meant to be
Can't say it's all been time lost
In the long run, i'll be a better man, better off
Chorus
Gonna find my pride, self esteem, get on with my life
Follow my dreams, aint' lookin back
Learn from my mistakes, once i'm past this heartache
I know when the hurting stops, i'll be a better man, better off
I know rome wasn't built in a day
And there's alot of good memories in my way
If i had it to do over again
I wouldn't change a thing, except for the end
Gonna be some pain, gotta pay the cost
But in the long run, i'll be a better man, better off
Chorus
Solo
I'm gonna learn from my mistakes
Once i'm past the heartache
I know when the hurting stops
A better man
A whole lot better off

3. _ Stars Over Texas
stars over texas
As you lie in my arms
Girl my hearts on my sleeve
Words come so hard, in moments like these
Theres feelings i have, that are so hard to show
But right now theres one thing
I want you to know
(chorus)
As long as the tides ebb
The earth turns the sun sets
I promise i'll always be true
And as long as theres stars over texas
Darling i'll hang the moon for you
I know i have stumbled and caused you some tears
When you needed me most i haven't always been here
I know i'm not always the man i should be
But don't ever wonder what you mean to me
(repeat chorus)
(tag)
And as long as theres stars over texas
Darling i'll hang the moon for you
Darling i'll hang the moon for you

4. _ Renegades,rebels And Rogues
They come from the wrong side of the track
Born a breed apart
Can't tie em up, can't pin 'em down
Always clinging to some old star
They chase that restless spirit
Wherever the four winds blow
Ain't no such thing as a dead end to
Renegades, rebels and rogues
(chorus)
Renegades, rebels and rogues
Eyes of fire, hearts of gold
They ramble till they drop
Gamble till the money runs out
They'll take any wrong direction
"cause it's in their blood to know
That all roads lead to another road
For renegades, rebels and rogues
Daughters love em', daddys hate em'
Mama don't understand
Whenever life deals em' down and dirty
They just play another hand
And theres a place in heaven
For those wild and kindred souls
But they'll be raising hell till then
Renegades, rebels and rogues

5. _ Texas Tornado
You called me up from amarillo, said you were coming to town
And thought i'd like to tell you hello, and drive an old friend around
I pulled up to the airport, confident and cool
But when you stepped off that plane, i knew i was your fool
(chorus)
My little texas tornado, blowing me away again
I swore it wouldn't happen again, but i looked at you and then
I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west texas wind
You're blowing me away again
___
You're lying with me in atlanta, it's such a beautiful lie
You play me like a piano, i always let you get by
I know i'll go through hell girl, when you find someone else
But right now i'm in heaven, and i can't help myself
(repeat chorus)
I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west texas wind
You're blowing me away again
Texas tornado
Blowing me away again, i swore it wouldn't happen again
But i look at you and then
I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west texas wind

6. _ While You Sleep
I don't say i love you quite enough i know
Sometimes i go for days
I'm ashamed to say
The world moves so fast
The words come so slow
And i let those excuses get in my way
(chorus)
But while you sleep
Sometimes i lie awake and watch you breathe
And in the silence that surrounds the dead of night
I bare my soul and all the words sound right
I pray the lord our hearts to keep
While you sleep
The days march through our lives like a soft parade
Laughter and the tears
Our hopes and fears
And i keep remembering things i forget to say
Perhaps some day
I'll let you know my dear
(repeat chorus)

7. _ Alibis
She knows every move that a man could make
She knows every trick in the book
She knows how to give, she knows how to take
Cause so many times she's been taken and fooled
By those.......
(chorus)
Alibis and lying eyes and all the best lines
Lord knows she's heard 'em all
She's been cheated on and pushed around and left alone
Lord knows what i've put her through
Boy you can bet, if a move can be made
She knows how to make one on you
___
She once thought that love wasn't just a game
Her feelin's once came from the heart
One day i gave her a weddin ring
One night i tore all those feelins apart
With my....

8. _ Sticks And Stones
You can take the house and everything in it
Keep the diamond ring cause thats how i meant it
Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me
This material life with all it's value
Don't mean a thing to me with you
The love that we once had is all i need
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before i leave
(chorus)
These sticks and stones ain't all that makes a home
They don't have arms to hold you when love goes wrong
Now you say, we are through
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
Remember when we didn't have a dime between us
You took my hand and said we don't needmuch
Just as long as we're together we would be fine
Now we've acquired all i thought would please you
I gave everything you know that i could
And still you're telling me you're not satisfied
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before i leave
(repeat chorus)

9. _ Time Marches On
Sister cries out from her baby bed
Brother runs in feathers on his head
Mamma's in her room learning how to sew
Daddy's drinking beer, listening to the radio
Hank williams sings "kaw liga" and ""dear john"
And time marches on, time marches on
Sisters using rouge and clear complexion soap
Brothers wearing beads and he smokes alot of dope
Mamma is depressed, barely makes a sound
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town
Bob dylan sings "like a rolling stone"
And time marches on, time marches on
(bridge)
The south moves north, the north moves south
A star is born, a star burns out
The only thing that stays the same
Is everything changes, everything changes
Sister calls herself a sexy grandma
Brothers on a diet for high cholesterol
Mamma's out of touch with reality
Daddy's in the ground beneath a maple tree
As the angels sing an old hank williams song
Time marches on, time marches on
Time marches on, time marches on
Time marches on, time marches on

10. _ I See It Now
It's good to see your face again, it's been awhile
How am i doing, well i get by somehow
You sure look good since your new love came in your life
You know i didn't see that fire in you he's found
Oh but i see it now
(chorus)
Oh i never saw that look in your eyes
And i never had you hold me that tight
And i never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but i see it now
___
Holding him, you never looked more beautiful
Letting go has been so hard on me
And sitting here, it's clear to see what he means to you
The way you look at him, it ain't no mystery
He's all i couldn't be
(repeat chorus)
And i never saw you dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but i see it now

11. _ If The Good Die Young
It was sunday morning, i was seven years old
In the backyard playing in a big mudhole
I was all decked out, ready for church
Had my brand new suit all covered in dirt
Mama hit the ceiling she was fit to be tied
Talkin 'bout how shes gonna tan my hide
But daddy was laughing when i changed my clothes
'saying "mama leave the boy alone"
(chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Mama's little boy gonna have alot of fun
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young
___
Ten years later had a hot rod ford
Constable clocked me at a hundred and four
Judge said "boy you're gonna hurt yourself
You'd a long been dead if you were anybody else"
(chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Oh there ain't a sentence gonna hold you son
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young
___
Well i got a good heart, i wouldn't hurt a soul
But i'm gonna keep rocking till they call that roll
Old st.peter he's gonna have to wait
I'm gonna go to heaven but i might be late
(chorus)
Cause if the good die young
If the good die young
Pedal to the metal, let your motor run
Cause he's gonna live forever if the good die young
___
(chorus)
And if the good die young
If the good die young
They got the jams, we'll have some fun
Cause i'm gonna live forever if the good die young

12. _ If The World Had A Front Porch
It was where my mama sat on that old swing with her crochet
It was where granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray
It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights
Where the bulldog had her puppies,and us brothers had our fights
There were many nights i'd sit right there and look out at the stars
To the sound of a distant whippoorwill or the hum of a passing car
It was where i first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss
And it was where i learned to play guitar and pray i had the gift
(chorus)
If the world had a front porch like we did back then
We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
Wouldn't be gone like the wind
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then
___
Purple hulls and pintos, i've shelled more than my share
As lightening bugs and crickets danced in the evening air
And like a beacon that old yellow bulb, it always led me home
Somehow mama always knew just when to leave it on
(repeat chorus)
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
Wouldn't be gone with the wind
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then

13. _ Can't Break It To My Heart
I never felt as helpless, as i do today
My world just fell around me as i watched you drive away
Theres nothing left between us, somehow we've grown apart
Cause i've got through my head, i just can't break it to my heart
(chorus)
I can't believe this is me on the hurtin side of pain
Siftin through the ashes still tryin to find a flame
But the flame has turned to embers left glowing in the dark
I've got it through my head, i just can't break it to my heart
___
If i could, lord knows i would spin back the hands of time
And piece these scattered memories that are cluttered in my head
Pick up where we left off and make a brand new start
I've got it through my head, i just can't break it to my heart
(chorus)

14. _ Her Old Stompin Ground
I know she'll be back
No matter where she's been
Cause her heart doesn't notice
When it's breaking mine again
Still i'll sit here like a fool
Watch the world go round
Till she comes back
To her old stompin grounds
(chorus)
She can find her someone else to hold
She can even wake up in his arms
But when it's time to come in from the cold
She always ends up right here in my heart
Her old stompin grounds
She thinks i don't hurt
No she doesn't have a clue
When we said it was over
She thought we were through
When it all falls to pieces
In the new world that she's found
She comes back
To her old stompin grounds
(repeat chorus)
