1. _ Walking Through Fire
When you set a match to your heart
Fueling it with bitterness and doubt
That's the place that once it starts
No amount of tears can put out
I know you're scared
But no one's spared when you play with matches
You got me walking through fire
You got me walking through fire
Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain
But baby, i'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark,
Consuming all it catches
And you got me walking through fire
You got me walking through fire to get to you
Got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You can see the toll it's taking
You can feel the faith it's shaking
You can hear the heart it's breaking now
Baby, i've been burned by the fever
I've been scorched by desire
But baby, i am not your deceiver or your eloquent liar
Your jealous heart is tearing us apart
Turning love to ashes
When you got me walking through fire
You've got me walking through fire to get to you
Got me walking through fire
You've got me walking through fire
You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
As the flames shoot higher
You got me walking through fire (through fire), walking

2. _ Only A Dream
I can recall the sound of the wind
As it blew throught the trees and the trees would bend
I can recall the smell of the rain
On a hot summer night
Coming through the screen
I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed
And i'd still be there when the storm had passed
Dead to the world, to the morning cast
Its light all around your room
We lived on a street where the tall elm shade
Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade
That you held in your teeth as we lay on our backs
Staring up at the blue and the blue stared back
I used to believe we were just like those trees
We'd grown just as tall and as proud as we pleased
With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze
Under a sheltering sky
Twirl me about, and twirl me around
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
And when i look up at you looking down,
Say it was only a dream
A big truck was parked in the drive one day
They wrapped us in paper and moved us away
Your room was no longer next door to mine
And this kid sister thing was old by that time
But oh how our dreams went bump in the night
And the voices downstairs getting into a fight
And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife
And feel like a blade at your throat
Twirl me about and twirl me around
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
When i look up at you looking down
Say it as only a dream
The day you left home you got an early start
I watched your car back out in the dark
I opened the door to your room down the hall
I turned on the light
And all that i saw
Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks
No sign of someone who expects to be back
It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed
Twirl me about, twirl me around
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
When i look up at you looking down
Say it was only a dream

3. _ The Bug
(mark knopfler)
Well it's a strange old game you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back you go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the brake
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
(chorus)
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're just a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes you're gonna lose it all
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely
And you're gonna know sad
When you're rippin' and you're ridin'
And you're coming on strong
You start slippin' and slidin'
And it all goes wrong because
(repeat chorus)
One day you got the glory and then you got none
One day you're a diamond and then you're a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll before we say goodbye because
(repeat chorus)
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're just a fool in love
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're just a fool in lo

4. _ Come On Come On
Some people remember the first time / some can't forget the last / some just select what they want to from the past / it's a song that you danced to in high school / it's a moon you tried to bri
Wn / on a four-in-the-morning drive through the streets of town
Come on come on, it's getting late now / come on come on, take my hand / come on come on, you just have to whisper / come on come on, i will understand
It's a photograph taken in paris, at the end of the honeymoon
In 1948, late in the month of june
Your parents smile for the camera in sienna shades of light
Now you're older than they were then that summer night
Come on come on, it's getting late now
Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on, you just have to whisper
Come on come on, i will understand
It's a need you never get used to, so fierce and so confused
It's a loss you never get over the first time you lose
And tonight i am thinking of someone, seventeen years ago
We rode in his daddy's car down the river road
Come on come on, it's getting late now
Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on, you just have to whisper
Come on come on, i will understand
Come on come on, it's getting late now
Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on, you just have to whisper
Come on come on, i will understand
Come on come on

5. _ I Am A Town
I'm a town in carolina, i'm a detour on a ride
For aphone call and a soda, i'm a blur from the driver's side
I'm the last gas for an hour if you're going twenty-five
I am texaco and tobacco, i am dust you leave behind
I am peaches in september, and corn from a roadside stall
I'm thelanguage of the natives, i'm a cadence and a drawl
I'm the pines behind the graveyard, and the cool beneath their shade, where the boys have left their beer cans
I am weeds between the graves.
My porches sag and lean with old black men and children
Their sleep is filled with dreams, i never can fulfill them
I am a town.
I am a church beside the highway where the ditches never drain
I'm abaptist like my daddy, and jesus knows my name
I am memory and stillness, i am lonely in old age; i am not your destination
I am clinging to my ways
I am a town.
I'm a town in carolina, i am billboards in the fields
I'm an old truck up on cinder blocks, missing all my wheels
I am pabst blue ribbon, american, and "southern serves the south"
I am tucked behind the jaycees sign, on the rural route
I am a town
I am a town
I am a town
Southbound.

6. _ I Take My Chances
(mary-chapin carpenter/don schlitz)
I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks
I stood on the rails till i saw that train
Just to see how my heart would react
Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
And for them i would not disagree
But i never learned nothing from playing it safe
I say fate should not tempt me
I take my chances, i don't mind working without a net
I take my chances, i take my chances every chance i get
I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote
I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat
He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check
I flipped my channel back to cnn and i lit another cigarette
I take my chances, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt
I take my chances, i take my chances every chance i get
I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep
I've been frozen out and i've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep
Now i can cry until i laugh and laugh until i cry
So cut the deck right in half, i'll play from either side
<p>
I take my chances, i pay my dollar and i place my bet
I take my chances, i take my chances every chance i get
I take my chances, i don't cling to remorse or regret
I take my chances, i take my chances every chance i get
I take my chances
I take my chances

7. _ I Feel Lucky
(mary-chapin carpenter/don schlitz)
Well i woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed"
I feel lucky, i feel lucky, yeah
No professor doom gonna stand in my way
Mmmmm, i feel lucky today
Well i strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's eleven million so i called in sick to work
I bought a pack of camels, a burrito and a barq's
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"
But i feel lucky, oh oh oh, i feel lucky, yeah
No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
Mmmmm, i feel lucky today
Now eleven million later, i was sitting at the bar
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
Dwight yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
Lyle lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do
I feel lucky, oh oh oh, i feel lucky, yeah
Hey dwight, hey lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
Hot dog, i'm feeling lucky tonight
I feel lucky, brrrrr, i feel lucky, yeah
Think i'll flip a coin, i'm a winner either way
Mmmmmm, i feel lucky today

8. _ The Hard Way
(mary chapin carpenter)
Show a little inspiration, show a little spark
And show that things that drew me to you and stole my heart
And tell me something i don't know instead of everything i do
And look at me as if i mean something to you
Our hearts are beating while we sleep, but while we're wide awake
You know the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, and what your heart might say
Everything we got, we got the hard way
Show a little passion, baby, show a little style
And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how
And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path
You know we got this far, darling, not by luck, but by never turning back
Some will call on destiny, but i just call on faith
That the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, to what your heart might say
Everything we got, we got the hard way
Caught up in our little lives, there's not a lot left over
I see what's missing in your eyes; you're searching for that field of clover
So show a little inspiration, show a little spark
Show the world a little light when you show it your heart
We've got two lives, one we're given and the other one we make
And the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, and your heart might say
Everything we got, we got the hard (everything we got, we got the hard way)
Everything we got, we got the hard way
(because the world won't stop) hang on, baby...

9. _ Passionate Kisses
(lucinda williams)
Is it too much to ask
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff
Shouldn't i have this
Shouldn't i have this
Shouldn't i have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you
Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't i have this
Shouldn't i have this
Shouldn't i have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you
Do i want too much
Am i going overboard to want that touch
I shout it out to the night
"give me what i deserve, 'cause it's my right"
Shouldn't i have this (shouldn't i)
Shouldn't i have this (shouldn't i)
Shouldn't i have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

10. _ Not Too Much To Ask
not too much to ask
(mary chapin carpenter/don schlitz)
To hear you say my name, to see you search my eyes
To feel you touch my hand, it more than satisfies.
If i was not the first, just say i'll be the last
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.
Now i can only dream of being all you need
And i can only try to be the reason why
You think about today and forget about the past
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.
Now i can only dream of being all you need
And i can only try to be the reason why
You think about today 'cause the past is just the past
It's too much to expect, but it doesn't hurt to ask
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

11. _ He Thinks He'll Keep Her
(mary chapin carpenter/don schlitz)
She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
She said "forever" with a smile upon her face
She does the car-pool, she ptas
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every christmas card showed a perfect family
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines. he thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you change your mind. he thinks he'll keep her
She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at their door
She said i'm sorry, i don't love you anymore
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines. he thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you change your mind. he thinks he'll keep her
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines. he thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
At least until you change your mind. he thinks he'll keep her
