1. _ Love's Great
(michael peterson/arlos smith)
Everybody's wavin' good-bye to joe
His wife called, last call...he's gotta go
Kinda brings a tear, to every single guy
I admire his dedication, he's a family man
Thirteen years had a ring on his hand
Kinda makes me wonder, if i should give it a try
Well i would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it
No curtains on the windows, just a couple sheets
Tv dinners, my life is complete
Ain't no one more committed...i love the single life
If i want to, i can put on my cleanest dirty shirt
Stay out all night for better or worse
Just look what i'd be missin', if i had a wife
Well i would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it
Well i would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it
I would if i could, but i can't so i won't
They're sayin' i do, i'm sayin' i don't
I won't regret it, one single minute
'cause love's great when you're not in it

2. _ Too Good To Be True
(michael peterson/gene pistilli)
You were all she ever wanted, that was once upon a time
She was all you ever needed, that's what makes it such a crime
How you took her heart for granted, how you threw her love away
Now you still don't understand it, if you did, you'd never say
It was too good to be true
What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?
What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?
She's not too good to be true
She's just too good to be true to you
Just because she never said so, doesn't mean she didn't see
Every time you stole an apple off somebody else's tree
Late last night that lipstick letter she left on the bedroom door
Said "you don't get it, and you ain't gonna get it anymore!"
It was too good to be true
What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?
What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?
She's not too good to be true
She's just too good to be true to you
It was too good to be true
What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?
What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?
She's not too good to be true
She's just too good to be true to you
Here we go!
It was too good to be true
What did you expect a girl as good as her to do?
What do you think would make that woman go find somebody new?
She's not too good to be true
She's just too good to be true to you
Oh just too good to be true to you

3. _ By The Book
(michael peterson/robert ellis orrall)
I slowly turned the pages
And see all these smiling faces
It's hard to believe it was today, ten years ago
Here is the invitation, to our wedding celebration
Just look at the promise theses pictures show(now i know)
If i had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side but fool that i am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better
We'd still be together...if i had loved her by the book
If i'd opened the book more often
Then i wouldn't forgotten
How much she cared, and how much i meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as i read them over
I know its to late to say i'm sorry now, but some how
If i had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side but fool that i am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better
We'd still be together...if i had loved her by the book
If i'd opened the book more often
Then i wouldn't forgotten
How much she cared, and how much i meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as i read them over
I know its to late to say i'm sorry now, but some how
If i had loved her by the book
She would be right here by my side but fool that i am
I overlooked my promise to love her forever, for worse or for better
We'd still be together...if i had loved her by the book
If i'd opened the book more often
Then i wouldn't forgotten
How much she cared, and how much i meant my solemn vow
To honor, to have and to hold her...but as i read them over
I know its to late to say i'm sorry now, but some how
If i had loved her by the book

4. _ Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie
(michael peterson/paula carpenter)
I was 12 when daddy said to me
Don't take to drinking boy that road don't lead no where
And don't you ever let me hear you swear
Don't you dare
He told me that stealing's a lazy man's way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so don't buy into it
And then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey i've tried
But since i met you girl i've been breaking every rule
I must confess i'm just a back sliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear i'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I wanna lie here close to you look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Last night i threw away the 12 step book
I finally faced the fact that i am hooked on you
There's nothing more that i can do ain't no use
Cause every time i see your angel face
My halo disappears without a trace i swear
Girl i'd admit i haven't got a prayer
But i don't care
I know this ain't exactly how i was raised
But heaven help me honey i ain't changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear i'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I wanna lie here close to you look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear i'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I wanna lie here close to you look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal and lie

5. _ Lost In The Shuffle
(michael peterson/josh leo/robert ellis orrall)
Made it through monday,tuesday, wednesday
Made it through friday night
Work week drove me out of my mind
Now it's outta sight
Got til sunday to things our way
Heres how its going to be
I'll follow you out on that floor
If you'll follow me
We're gong to get lost in the shufle
It's going to be an all night, hold tight, feels right now kinda shuffle
An invitation to dance on the double
Forget about your troubles baby
Let's get lost in the shuffle
Gonna take my chances on a little line dance
Baby put your hand on mine
Oh, let me sweep you off your feet
Leave your blues behind
Everytime you swing me, girl you know it brings me
Two steps closer to love
Oh, you just tell me what to do, i'll show you how it's done
We're gong to get lost in the shufle
It's going to be an all night, hold tight, feels right now kinda shuffle
An invitation to dance on the double
Forget about your troubles baby
Let's get lost in the shuffle
Mama says she loves shortnin' bread
Baby loves being with me instead
Mama wants baby back home in bed
Lets forget about what mama said
We're gong to get lost in the shufle
It's going to be an all night, hold tight, feels right now kinda shuffle
An invitation to dance on the double
Forget about your troubles baby
Let's get lost in the shuffle
Forget about your troubles baby
Lets get lost in the shuffle

6. _ For A Song
(dewayne blackwell)
She learned to hate the limousine
The fancy full-length fur
Dom perignon and french cuisine
Don't mean a thing to her
What good is her pedestal
When he works all though the night
So in time, she found a dance floor
And some arms to hold her tight
Now every night they dance with her to some brushes on a drum
A standup bass, and steel guitars, play a tune, she can hum
Ain't it sad, ain't it funny, how a man can be so wrong
He tried to buy her love with money
He could've had her for a song
She wanted him...but what a shame
He didn't realize
Love can never stay the same
It either grows or dies
What made him think his duty was to place her high above
He married her for beauty, she married him for love
Now every night they dance with her to some brushes on a drum
A standup bass, and steel guitars, play a tune, she can hum
Ain't it sad, ain't it funny, oh how a man can be so wrong
He tried to buy her love with money
He could've had her for a song
Now every night they dance with her to some brushes on a drum

7. _ That's What They Said About The Buffalo
(michael peterson/michael puryear)
Lately evolution theory
Is hitting home a lot more clearly
As our love slowly dies each day
You say this love ain't worth reviving
There's no chance of us surviving
We're doomed to simply fade away
That's what they said about the buffalo
The timber wolf and the eagle too
They made a comeback and i know
So could me and you
Let's get off of love's endangered list
We've got something that this world would miss
I know you're sayin' that there's no hope
That's what they said about the buffalo
We put in too many long nights
Working late and chasing the wildlife
Living like two hard headed fools
It's really not too big a mystery
The reason we are almost history
The talk all over town says we are through
That's what they said about the buffalo
The timber wolf and the eagle too
They made a comeback and i know
So could me and you
Let's get off of love's endangered list
We've got something that this world would miss
I know you're sayin' that there's no hope
That's what they said about the buffalo
I know you're sayin' that there's no hope
That's what they said about the buffalo

8. _ From Here To Eternity
(michael peterson/robert ellis orrall)
I did everything i could to get you here tonight
Without telling you why
Now girl if you only would, please hold out your hand
Just close your eyes
I've been dying to ask you one burning question
Will you be mine?
From here to eternity
I'm asking you to share your life with me
Now and forever i guarantee, i'll always stay by your side
I promise my love to you
I'm willing and able and ready to
Whatever you need
I am here for you, and i'll always be
From here to eternity
I saved a year for this ring
I can't wait to see
How it looks on your hand
I'll give you everything that one woman needs
From a one woman man
I'll be strong i'll be tender a man of my word
I will be yours.
From here to eternity
I'm asking you to share your life with me
Now and forever i guarantee, i'll always stay by your side
I promise my love to you
I'm willing and able and ready to
Whatever you need
I am here for you, and i'll always be
From here to eternity

9. _ When The Bartender Cries
(michael peterson/hunter davis)
This bar has been my home away from her
Used to be, she was missing me
Now she's moving in with her best friend
And i'm the only one who wants what used to be
I'm here because today i lost it all
I didn't want to drink at home alone
I just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling
Like a row of dominoes
I thought the man behind the bar
Had heard it all before
My story must have caught him by surprise
'cause when he handed me my double
There were tears in his eyes
You know you're in trouble
When the bartender cries
He said, "last night you swore you'd never drink again"
I said, "next time, i'm really gonna try"
So if she ever calls for me
Oh, you can finally tell her, "he ain't here"
And it won't be a lie
I asked the man behind the bar
What he'd been crying for
He said, "that bottle used to be a friend of mine
Now i've stopped drinking doubles
But i pour them all of the time
Son, you know you're in trouble
When the bartender cries"
As i saw my own reflection staring back at me, i knew
Every single word he said was true
Well, i told the man behind the bar
I thought i'd seen it all before
Till i saw the sadness in his eyes
That's when i put down my double
And said my last goodbyes
'cause you know you're in trouble
When the bartender cries
Oh, you know you're in trouble
When the bartender cries

10. _ Since I Thought I Knew It All
(michael peterson/ashe underwood)
If you had asked me, i'd have told you
There ain't nothin' i don't know
Like no matter how i hurt her, i just knew she'd never go
Up until the day she left me, i'd have sworn i'd never crawl
Well it's amazing just how much i've learned
Since i thought i knew it all
Figured she'd be much too frightened, to make it on her own
So i was sure that she'd come cryin'
After just one night alone
I kept waitin' by the telephone, so certain she would call
It's amazing just how much i've learned
Since i thought i knew it all
I never knew a broken heart
Could turn you inside out
I didn't know, that i didn't know
What love was all about
If she came walking through the front door
There's a million things i say
Like "i love you" and "i missed you, please don't ever go away."
And if you would just forgive me
I'll be at your beck and call
'cause it's amazing just how much i've learned
Since i thought i knew it all
It's amazing just how much i've learned
Since i thought i knew it all

11. _ I Finally Passed The Bar
(michael peterson & travis tritt)
(michael peterson/michael puryear/buddy brook)
There's a party in my honor, at my house tonight
A few of my ol' drinking buddies will be droppin' by
They'll come to celebrate my graduation
After eight long years, of higher education
So here's to me
I finally passed the bar
As i drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last
I finally passed the bar
I've got an awful lot of memories, that i can't recall
But i know from those old stories
I must have had a ball
With the money that i spent on my tuition
(what would you do hoss)
Well i could retire and spend the rest of my life fishin'
(oh well)
Here's to me
I finally passed the bar
As i drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last
I finally passed the bar
I was first in my class
To the bottom of a glass
But it was killin' me
I used to get loaded
But now i've been voted
Most likely to succeed
Here's to me
I finally passed the bar
As i drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school
Would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last
I finally passed the bar
I can't believe at last
I finally passed the bar
