1.The Distance Between You And Me
(dwight yoakam)
Take a rock, tie a rope
Throw it down in the sea
Let if fall to the bottom
Nobody knows how deep
Stare real hard through the water
And you might just perceive
The distance between you and me
The distance between you and me
Take a map of the world
And measure with both hands
All of the miles
Across all of the land
Write it down, add it up
And you might understand
About the distance between you and me
The distance between you and me
I lie awake and hear you breathing
Only inches from me in this bed
Not much space but it's all that we needed
To live alone now that our love is dead
Climb the earth's tallest mountain
To where it reaches the sky
Take a gun fire a bullet
Straight up out of sight
Where it stops in the heaven
Well that ain't half as high
As the distance between you and me
The distance between you and me
2.The Heart That You Own
the heart that you own
(dwight yoakam)
I pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I pay the rent
Pay it right on time
Baby i pay you every single dime
For my heart
The heart that you own
Used to be i could love here for free
Way back before you bought the property
Now i pay daily on what once was mine
Lord i probably owe you
For the tears the i cry
'cause i pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own
I struggle each night to find a new way
To pay you what i owe
Just so i can stay
I ain't overdue
So you can't throw me out
I've loved here for years
Don't know where i'd go now
'cause i pay rent on a run-down place
There ain't no view but there's lots of space
In my heart
The heart that you own.
Extra
Yea, in my heart
The heart that you own
3.Takes A Lot To Rock You
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
So much for wishful thinkin'
So much for beginner's luck
It takes a lot to rock you baby
When it comes to love you're double tough
Chorus:
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Little things that used to please you
Are all the things that i do wrong
It takes a lot to rock you baby
Tried my damnedest all night long
My baby drives a big rolls royce
'cause my baby says she got no choice
My baby wears big ol' diamond rings
'cause my baby says she need them things
Chorus:
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It takes a lot to rock you baby
You make me crawl the extra mile
Takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
It takes a lot to rock you baby
It takes a lot to make you smile
4.Nothing's Changed Here
(dwight yoakam, kostas)
I hear you walking across the floor
I think that i'm dreaming
'til i hear you shut the door
I wake up crying and calling your name
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
The same old sun comes up to shine
On this old bed at the same old time
I tell myself he same old lie
I've got you off my mind
I feel your body lyin' next to mine
I reach out in the darkness
But you're not there for me to find
There's only sorrow, followed by pain
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
I see your sweet lips softly kiss me goodbye
I taste the salt of my tear drops
As they fall down from my eyes
I take a deep breath
But it's only in vain
'cause nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
No, nothing's changed here without you
And i start every day the same
5.Sad, Sad Music
(dwight yoakam)
There should be music
Sad, sad music
But this silence that you left
Is all i have
I must have missed a couple days
Or just forgotten
What went wrong or where it all
Fell apart
And i now you must have told me
You were leavin'
It just never crossed my mind
You'd take my heart
There should be music
Sad, sad music
The kind the movies have
When love like ours goes bad
There should be music
Sad, sad music
But this silence that you left
Is all i have
I'd swear that i woke up with you
This morning
But i can see that it's been days
Since you were here
And every night it still hits home
Without a warning
As my world becomes a flood
Of scalding tears
There should be music
Sad, sad music
As you walk away
Without looking back
There should be music
Sad, sad music
But this silence that you left
Is all i have
6.Since I Started Drinking Again
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
Since i started drinkin' again
Since i started drinkin' again
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since i started drinkin' again
I know that the neighbors are all a-talkin'
They swear that i have lost my mind
Ah, but they do not know
That i've just gained control
Of all the heartache that you left behind
Chorus:
Since i started drinkin' again
Since i started drinkin' again
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since i started drinkin' again
Well i know that the boss is gonna fire me
When i stumble in late to work again
But surprise will replace that old scowl on his face
When he sees that i do not give a damn
Chorus:
Since i started drinkin' again
Since i started drinkin' again
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since i started drinkin' again
I ain't shed one lousy tear over you
Since i started drinkin'
Since i started drinkin'
Since i started drinkin' again
7.If There Was A Way
(dwight yoakam)
I was just standing
Alone in this room
Surrounded by memories
We stopped making too soon
I was just standing
I was just standing
Alone in this room
Alone in this room
I was just thinking
All to myself
How i still want you
And nobody else
I was just thinking
I was just thinking
All to myself
All to myself
In this darkness i move slowly
Always struggling to be free
But i still hear your voice
And everywhere i see the choice
That's made such a fool of me
I was just wondering
If there was a way
To bring you back to me
Maybe things i could say
I was just wondering
I was just wondering
If there was a way
8.Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose
(kostas, wayland patton)
Well i'm back again for another night
Of trying to break free from the sadness i can't lay to rest
This old honky-tonk sure does feel like home
And the music and the laughter seem to soothe my loneliness
Chorus:
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
Now if a tear should fall, if i should whisper her name
To some stranger i'm holdin' while we're dancin' to an old buck
owens' song
I know she won't mind, she won't even know
'cause she'll be dancing with a memory crying teardrops of her
own
Chorus:
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
Chorus:
So turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
From the memory that's driving me lonely, crazy and blue
It helps me forget her so the louder the better
Hey mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
Yeah mister, turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose
9.It Only Hurts Me When I Cry
(dwight yoakam, roger miller)
Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
You couldn't tell it by this smile
But my recovery took a while
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks
Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know to look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I'm probably lucky i'm alive
Chorus:
The only time i feel the pain
Is in the sunshine and the rain
And i don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
I'll tell the truth 'cept when i lie
It only hurts me when i cry
10.Send A Message To My Heart
(kostas, kathy louvin)
Chorus:
Send a message to my heart
On the wings of the wind
Let me hear your sweet voice sayin'
You love me again
Even though we're apart
I hold to your memory
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
Darlin' when you're all alone
Tell me do you think of me
Does my name touch your lips
Am i still in your dreams
Do your arms reach out for mine
In the still of the night
Do you wish that i was with you
When you turn out the lights
Chorus:
Send a message to my heart
On the wings of the wind
Let me hear your sweet voice sayin'
You love me again
Even though we're apart
I hold to your memory
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
All these moments alone
Make me realize
Just ow empty this old world is
Without you in my life
Our day is yet to come
And our love is so sweet
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
Chorus:
Send a message to my heart
On the wings of the wind
Let me hear your sweet voice sayin'
You love me again
Even though we're apart
I hold to your memory
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
11.I Don't Need It Done
(john sieger)
Honey you sure do it well
But i don't need it done
I know if i did it with you
It'd be a whole lot of fun
I'll send my regrets
But i won't hedge my bets
I found a real true love
Now i don't need it done
Baby you sure look fine
But i don't need it done
So i won't waste your time
Said i better let you run
And i'll just move along
I don't mind wakin' up all alone
I found me one real true love
Now i don't need it done
Chorus:
I don't need it done
I don't need it done
I found a real true love
Now i don't need it done
It's been one long day all right
Still i don't need it done
You say i could stay all night
Until the morning comes
Well, it's not easy but
I've got to give up all you got
I found a real true love
Now i don't need it done
Chorus:
I don't need it done
I don't need it done
I found a real true love
Now i don't need it done
12.You're The One
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
You're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
Now you're back calling me with open arms
What happened to the one you met with all that charm
You say he's gone snd you're alone well that's a shame
But if you think real hard i know you'll see just who's to blame
Chorus:
You're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
You're begging me to think about the love we shared
Yet it seems to me not too long ago you didn't care
The love you left no longer lives within my heart
The game you played so recklessly tore it all apart
Chorus:
You're the one
You're the one
That made me cry
You're the one
That laughed at me
Then said goodbye
You're the one
You're the one
That made me blue
So how's it feel
Now that you're the one
It's happened to
Oh tell me how's it feel now that you're the one
How's it feel to be the one
How's it feel now that you're the one it's happening to
You're the one
Oh, oh, you're the one
Yeah, you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
Oh, oh, you're the one
You're the one
You're the one
13.Dangerous Man
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man
He'll tell you the right things
About all the wrong people
He'll smile and he'll say 'hey, you and me
We think just he same'
You better make sure that you read
All the rules first
'cause he runs a crooked game
Chorus:
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man
His words are all vain
And his promise is empty
His message is loud
But it ain't meant to be clear
He hides all the clues
That have left his hands stained and dirty
And he'll wash them with your tears
Chorus:
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man

Together we stand
Divided we fall
Come on now people let's get on the ball

When the road that you travel seems all up hill

Together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man
'cause together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man
Yeah together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man
