1. _ Holdin'
(kelly garrett/craig wiseman)
Parked down on lover's leap
Steaming up his old heap
Two lovers stare up at the stars
Somewhere in the lights below
Two houses all aglow
Parents wondering where on earth they are
'cause their folks have tried to tell them
This is way too serious
And while their mommas are waiting up they're
Holdin', lovin', kissin', huggin'
Come whatever may they keep
Goin', dreamin', smilin', believin'
That nothin' matters like this love they're holdin'
A few years and some wedding vows
A quarter-acre and a little white house
More than they can well afford
And those easy payments are getting tough
All the overtime ain't enough
Still they couldn't ask for more
'cause that old hill that they've been climbin'
Might be gettin' steep
Oh, but they don't seem to mind it they keep
Holdin', lovin', kissin', huggin'
Come whatever may they keep
Goin', dreamin', smilin', believin'
That nothin' matters like this love they're holdin'
As they rock their newborn baby fast asleep
They know the most important lesson they can teach
Keep on
Holdin', lovin', kissin', huggin'
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin', smilin', believin'
That nothing matters, like this love
They're holdin', dreamin', goin', knowin', believin',
Nothing matters like this love they're holdin'
Just keep on holdin'

2. _ Mirror Mirror
(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

3. _ Norma Jean Riley
(monty powell/dan truman/rob honey)
Wish i had a car, top rolled down, the music up loud
Follow that girl all over town and see
Norma jean riley's gonna notice me
Wish i had a dog, seen her in the park with a puppy on a string
Looking so cute maybe sooner or later we'd meet
Norma jean riley's gonna talk to me
Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna notice me
Oughta learn to dance, with the hottest moves and the latest styles
Get her on the dance floor and after awhile you'll see
Norma jean riley's gonna dance with me
Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna notice me
Gonna write a song, sing about her hair, her lips and her eyes
Bring her to tears with my heartfelt honesty
Norma jean riley's gonna fall for me
Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna fall for me
Everybody says fool, fool nothin' you can do
Never gonna see her with the likes of you
I say watch and see
Norma jean riley's gonna marry me

4. _ Walkin' Away
(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

5. _ Bubba Hyde
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

6. _ It's All In Your Head
(tony martin/van stephenson/reese wilson)
Momma died young giving birth to a son
In a home for wayward girls
Daddy was sidewalk, soapbox preacher
Looking forward to the end of the world
Every friday night he'd pick a jesus fight
Down at the local pool hall
Racking up souls condemning all those
Caught behind the eight ball
He said i preach for the light - the light shows the way
Don't ever trust what the government say
We never walked on the moon
Elvis ain't dead
You ain't going crazy
It's all in your head
Lucy was a messed up, dressed up waitress
With a slightly tarnished heart of gold
She wasn't half bad for a new step momma
As far as step momma's go
Daddy knew she was the one as he baked in the sun
In a parking lot preaching the truth
Up shot her hand and she cried, oh, man
I feel it, yes, i feel it i do
It's been revealed to me down deep in my soul
There were two shooters on the grassy knoll
We never walked on the moon
Elvis ain't dead
You ain't going crazy
It's all in your head
Let us sing
It's all interpretation
To find the truth you gotta read between the lines
Work out your own salvation
That narrow path is hard to define
Heaven's more than a place
It's a state of mind
In his quest for truth
Daddy was moved by the spirit
To take up a snake
In a moment of doubt the venom turned out
Stronger than daddy's faith
But i'll never forget his dying breath
The last words that he said
We never walked on the moon
Elvis ain't dead
You ain't going crazy
It's all in your head
Let me tell ya
It's all interpretation
To find the truth you gotta read between the lines
Work out your own salvation
That narrow path is had to define
Heaven's more than a place
It's a state of mind
State of mind

7. _ Imagine That
(derek george/john tirro/bryan white)
(track 14 - time 3:31)
What is the world comin' to
When lovers can't believe
They got a love comin' true
Then they up and leave
They say they will when they won't
They say i do and then they don't
That ain't the way it's got to be
With you and me
Imagine that, a love that lasts forever
Imagine that, for all the world to see
That two people stay together
The way it ought to be
Oh imagine that
I don't intend to change the world
I couldn't if i tried
As long as i've got you with me girl
I'll be satisfied
Let's do what we can, mean what we say
We'll just take it day by day
'cause i want to prove to everyone
That it can be done
Imagine that, a love that lasts forever
Imagine that, for all the world to see
That two people stay together
The way it ought to be
Oh imagine that
Do you believe in love enough to go the distance
Do you believe in love enough to make a stand
Do you believe enough to handle the resistance
I believe we can
Imagine that, a love that lasts forever
Imagine that, for all the world to see
That two people stay together
The way it ought to be
Oh imagine that
Oh imagine that
Imagine that
Oh imagine that

8. _ She Misses Him On Sunday The Most
(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

9. _ 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

10. _ Love A Little Stronger
(chuck jones/billy crittenden/gregory swint)
I don't leave any room for doubt
When it comes to you and me
You know all about the way i feel inside
You know how hard i try
But that don't mean that i can't
Love a little stronger, dig a little deeper
Go a little farther, anything to please you girl
Tonight i'm gonna start all over
Show you girl what's in my heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh, gonna love a little stronger
You tell me you're the lucky one
But i see things differently
I have just begun to show you that you mean
Everything to me
I still feel the need to
Love a little stronger, dig a little deeper
Go a little farther, anything to please you girl
Tonight i'm gonna start all over
Show you girl what's in my heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh, gonna love a little stronger
Love a little stronger, dig a little deeper
Go a little farther, anything to please you girl
Tonight i'm gonna start all over
Show you girl what's in my heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh, gonna love a little stronger
Love a little stronger, dig a little deeper
Go a little farther, anything to please you girl
Tonight i'm gonna start all over
Show you girl what's in my heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh, gonna love a little stronger
Gonna love a little stronger
Gonna love a little stronger

11. _ Night Is Falling In My Heart
Won't you please turn up the lights
I can't hardly see
Thank you kindly but that don't help
Maybe it's just me
It seems i've had this problem since
My baby packed up to leave
Chorus
You see she used to be my sunshine
Now we're far apart
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
Could you pull those curtains back
And let the morning in
What's that you say? oh is that a fact?
Well, it still seems mighty dim
I guess i'll just have to live this way
Unless my baby come back again
Chorus
And as the last ray of love
Slowly disappears
Alone in this endless night
I just see one thing clear
Chorus

12. _ How Your Love Makes Me Feel
(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

13. _ Meet In The Middle
(chaplin hartford/jim foster/don pfrimmer)
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

14. _ Mama Don't Forget To Pray For Me
(larry shell/larry cordle)
Well hello, it's good to hear your voice
I hate to call so late, but i didn't have a choice
I'm calling you from dallas, headed for l.a.
I wish i had more time to talk, there's so much to say
No i ain't forgot how i was raised
But i'm livin' way too fast
It's a roller coaster ride, up and down
My new job is going great, i'm headed for the top
I should be happy but somehow i'm not
Sometimes i think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Oh, mama don't forget to pray for me
Tell me how is the weather?
Have you put the garden out?
Are the dogwoods bloomin' out behind the house?
No i'm not sick, there's nothin' wrong, don't wake up dad
I just thought of you and home and got a little sad
No i ain't forgot how i was raised
But i'm livin' way too fast
It's a roller coaster ride, up and down
My new job is going great, i'm headed for the top
I should be happy but somehow i'm not
Oh, sometimes i think the devil has got me by the sleeve
Oh, mama don't forget to pray for me
Oh, mama don't forget to pray for me
