1.One Of These Days
(jeff stevens／tim nichols)
She worked in a laundry pressin' shirts and pants
Eight hours a day at that iron she'd stand
'bout every thirty minutes somebody said
Man, it's hot in here
She tied up her hair but she wouldn't cut it off
'cause robbie lee likes it better when it's lone
And at night they'd meet at the cold spot
And drink some beer
And every mornin' when she'd clock in she'd say
One of these days, i'm getting out of here
Yeah one of these days, 'cause i'm too good for this place
Now i don't mean that like it sounds
But i'm not gonna be held down
Things are gonna change
One of these days
One friday she said, that's it, i'm quittin'
We all thought that she was just kidding'
When we came back from lunch she didn't
And that was it
Somebody said they'd seen her downtown
Bags all packed steppin' on a greyhound
Robbie lee watchin' his world come down around him
I can't count the times i heard her say
One of these days, i'm getting out of here
Yeah one of these days, 'cause i'm too good for this place
Now i don't mean that like it sounds
But i'm not gonna be held down
Things are gonna change
One of these days
That girl wasn't nobody's fool
Bet she's workin' somewhere cool
And i'm startin' to think
One of these days, i'm getting out of here
Yeah one of these days, 'cause i'm too good for this place
Now i don't mean that like it sounds
But i'm not gonna be held down
Things are gonna change
One of these days
Yeah one of these days
Yeah, one of these days
2.In My Heaven
(rivers rutherford／bobby pinson)
In my heaven there ain't no lawyers
Don't need names on dotted lines
Folks do buisness like they oughta
A good firm handshake works just fine
We feed lawyers to the lions
In my heaven there ain't no children
Totin' loaded guns to school
Ain't no such think as peer pressure
Being who you are is cool
We still teach that golden rule
In my heaven we hurt no one
No lyring, crying, or dying young
No one's lonely, no one's scared
And everyone is welcome there
In my heaven
In my heaven i can sing like elvis
Play guitar like b.b. king
Slide a fastball past hank aaron
Hey now batter, batter swing
I can do most anything
In my heaven we hurt no one
No lyring, crying, or dying young
No one's lonely, no one's scared
And everyone is welcome there
In my heaven
I know that it's god's decision
What my heaven's gonna be
I ain't tellin' him his buisness
But if he left it up to me
Then in my heaven
There's football with no referees
Then in my heaven
There's never been an injury
In my heaven
Angels yodel when they sing
And in my heaven
The fish will bite most anything
In my heaven
In my heaven
3.Back On Earth
(skip ewing／donny kees)
Well i hit the charts and i took a trip
On this silver eagle rocket ship
Hey now look at me i'm hanging with the stars
And i've tried my hardest not to change
But everyone around keeps acting strange
People look at me like i'm a man from mars
That's what i told her through the sound check noise in kansas
And the satellite relayed me this reply
Back on earth
There's a woman who's wishing
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
Drinking her coffee after loving her all night long
Back on earth
There's a brown-eyed baby
Who's old enough now to tell me all the ways
She's needing her daddy
And wondering when he's coming home
Now i'm out in space here wondering if it's worth
Everything i'm missing
Back on earth
But i played the show and the crowd went wild
Shared my heart and the good lord smiled
And i thanked them all for being kind to me
In the morning there's another town
With a hotel room where we touch down
Where i'll face the situation's gravity
As i navigate the milky way i contemplate the dues i pay
Could there be another way, god, i love to sing and play
Back on earth
There's a woman who's wishing
An ordinary man was sitting in the kitchen
Drinking her coffee after loving her all night long
Back on earth
There's a brown-eyed baby
Who's old enough now to tell me all the ways
She's needing her daddy
And wondering when he's coming home
Now i'm out in space here wondering if it's worth
Everything i'm missing
Back on earth
I'm up in space here wondering if it's worth
Everything i'm missing
Back on earth
4.I Hate Chicago
(chris dubois／lee thomas miller)
Tuesday morning sports page, i've got coffee in my cup
A smile creeps across my face, the braves beat the cubs
I hate chicago
I'm changing planes in dallas, i ain't going through i'hare
It's a thousand dollars more i know, but i don't care
I hate chicago
Sara told me that she only
Needed space to think things out
Then she met some guy named tony
Guess where they live now
I hear the food is great, i hear the summer sure is nice
It's beautiful at christmas, there's three more reasons why
I hate chicago
From their wgn station to their seven feet of snow
The rock band in the 80's to the oprah winfrey show
I hate chicago
Sara told me that she only
Needed space to think things out
Then she met some guy named tony
Guess where they live now
Sara used to talk about
How one day we would settle down
Find ourselves an old farmhouse
On the outskirts of a small town
Then she told me that she only
Needed space to think things out
Then she met some guy named tony
Guess where they live now
That's right i hate chicago
I hate chicago
Man, i hate chicago
5.Universe
(ty lacy／tommy sims)
Bet you didn't know
You were sacred to me
Like a cathedral rising
High into the blue
Bet you didn't know
All the courage i have came from you
It was you
Bet you didn't know
You were my tower of strength
Through the hurricane
Like a child
I found peace in your
Arms time and again
Time and again
You were my life through the storm
You were my shelter that kept me warm
You were my heart, my soul
My kingdom come, the breath i breathe
The sky, the sun, the moon and stars all wrapped into one
In other words
You're my universe
Bet you didn't know you inspired my dreams
You help me believe in myself
Yes, you did
Bet you didn't know you were the only one
Who stood by me where there was no one else
When there was no one else
You were my life through the storm
You were my shelter that kept me warm
You were my heart, my soul
My kingdom come, the breath i breathe
The sky, the sun, the moon and stars all wrapped into one
In other words
You're my universe
You were my life through the storm
You were my shelter that kept me warm
You were my heart, my soul
My kingdom come, the breath i breathe
The sky, the sun, the moon and stars all wrapped into one
In other words
You're my universe
6.Somebody
(sam tate／annie tate／dave berg)
At a diner down on broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his cup
He jokes about his love life
Tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says
I've been there before
Keep on looking 'cause
Maybe who you're looking for is...
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
There's somebody
Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl
＞from two floors up
Maybe she's the one
Maybe he could fall in love with
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
There's somebody
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they both missed until that day
When he saw his guture in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why
He searched so long
When she was always there
At that diner waiting on
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
There's somebody
Yeah, somewhere out there is somebody
7.I'll Be Around
(tim nichols／craig wiseman)
Saw your picture in the morning paper
Bet your mama sure is proud
You finally found you a real straight lacer
All your dreams are finally gettin' buttoned down
Girl, you know that i know you too well
Before you cut the cake, before you ring that bell
I'll be around, around about the time
You're wishin' for a friday evening with the ragtop down
I'll be around, around like a second hand tickin'
In the nick of time, let me make you mine
When you long to feel the wind in your hair
When your choices seem a little too square
I'll be around
I'll be around
Girl, you never did like vanilla
You were more of the rocky road kind
You hated princes and cinderellas
Gravitated more to bonnies and clydes
Girl, i wish you happiness
But if you ever find that the show don't fit
I'll be around, around about the time
You're wishin' for a friday evening with the ragtop down
I'll be around, around like a second hand tickin'
In the nick of time, let me make you mine
When you long to feel the wind in your hair
When your choices seem a little too square
I'll be around
I'll be around
Girl, you know that i know you too well
Before you cut the cake, before you ring that bell
I'll be around, around about the time
You're wishin' for a friday evening with the ragtop down
I'll be around, around like a second hand tickin'
In the nick of time, let me make you mine
When you long to feel the wind in your hair
When your choices seem a little too square
I'll be around
I'll be around
Girl, i'll be around
8.Lost In A Kiss
(brett beavers／steve bogard)
What am i doin' here starin' at you through these empty eyes
When i disappear, how did i lose this piece of time
I remember your lips pressed against mine
All of the sudden i was lost...
Lost in a kiss
I could feel my mind drift
Off the edge of forever
My heart slips away
To a beautiful place
That i can't resist
Oh, i was lost in a kiss
Whatever you've done to me, is nothin' like i've ever felt
before
Right now i can barely breathe
You're everything i'm livin' for
Did you just say something, baby i'm sorry
There for a moment i was lost...
Lost in a kiss
I could feel my mind drift
Off the edge of forever
My heart slips away
To a beautiful place
That i can't resist
Oh, i was lost in a kiss
There's so many places yet to discover
Open your arms and let's get lost...
Lost in a kiss
I could feel my mind drift
Off the edge of forever
My heart slips away
To a beautiful place
That i can't resist
Oh, i was lost in a kiss
I wanna get lost in your kiss
9.The Balloon Song
(casey beathard)
I set a friend of mine up on a date
And i told him i'd watch his boy for the day
And we had a ball playin' games, eatin' dogs
Riding rides at the county fair
I thought he was just being a kid
When we got back to my place
And he did what he did
On a balloon that he won
He wrote mama i had fun
I missed you and i wished you were there
I wasn't sure what he had in mind
'till he jumped up and ran outside and
He let it go, he waved goodbye, or was it hello？
I don't know but i died inside
I can still see his excitement
Him pointing and smilin'
When it was gone as it could get
He turned and asked me
You think it's in heaven yet？
Well i struggled for something to say
I was too choked up and
Lackin' the kind of faith he had in his heart
Before i could start
He walked me back inside
He gave me his crayola pen
Said, i bet there's a message that you'd like to send
And no doubt he was right it's been locked
Up inside since grandpa said goodbye
I took that yellow balloon and i wrote
'til i ran out of room then
I let it go and we waved goodbye
That seven year old
Lord he opened my eyes
I can still see his excitement
Him pointing and smilin'
When it was gone as it could get
I turned and asked him
You think it's in heaven yet？
10.Love Can't
(kelly shiver／neil thrasher)
Drip, drop, down it came from the
Roof top, morning rain, hope it
Don't stop, it's been a long dry spell, well, i'm
Pretty sure it's a sign we need to
Call work and tell a white lie, sayin'
Head hurts, you're not feeling too well
C'mon baby, let the world carry on without you
Right this minute ain't nobody who needs you more than i do
Hey, we need a little fixing
There ain't nothin' love can't
So what do you say
We pull the covers over
Get a little closer and
Do some catchin' up
A little you know what
It's all about us today
The world can wait
But love can't
Don't you miss having the time for a
Long kiss, you know, the kind where your
Heart skips and leads to other things, why don't i
Lock up, you get the shades, never mind
I don't want to waste
One touch, i'm where i want to be
With you next to me
Hey, we need a little fixing
There ain't nothin' love can't
So what do you say
We pull the covers over
Get a little closer and
Do some catchin' up
A little you know what
It's all about us today
The world can wait
But love can't
Hey, we need a little fixing
There ain't nothin' love can't
So what do you say
We pull the covers over
Get a little closer and
Do some catchin' up
A little you know what
It's all about us today
The world can wait
But love can't
11.I'm Not Gonna Do Anything Without You(Mark Wills With Jamie O'neal)
(randy vanwarmer／rich alves)
I'm gonna make you a promise
Starting tonight
If i never do anything else
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna hold somebody
I'm gonna look in someone's eyes
'til i'm so oversome that i cry
I'm gonna love somebody

12.Loving Every Minute
i was never really breathing
My heart was never really beating
Till you held me in your arms
And every love that didn't last
Every second of my past
Simply disappeared into the dark
Chorus--
And with that first kiss
I felt my life beginning
And the clock just froze
And the world stopped spinning
Now the majic of that moment
Is never ending
You made time stand still
And i'm loving every minute
Its a need that never changes.
A passion that is ageless.
It consumes me like it did,
When it was new.
You have led me to a place,
Where everyday's the same
And i'm always falling more
In love with you
Chorus--
And with that first kiss
I felt my life beginning
And the clock just froze
And the world stopped spinning
Now the majic of that moment
Is never ending
You made time stand still
And i'm loving every minute
And with that first kiss
I felt my life beginning
And the clock just froze
And the world stopped spinning
Now the majic of that moment
Is never ending
You made time stand still
And i'm loving every minute
Oh, oh, oh
And i'm loving every minute
Oh, oh, oh
Loving you baby
