1.Even Now
(sara evans/ron harbin/ed hill)
You said when i broke your heart that i'd regret it
No one else would love me half as much as you
Well i wish i'd listened closer when you said that i'd be blue
'cause missin' you is all i ever do
Even now i catch myself daydreaming
'bout the nights when it was candlelight and wine
Even now i get that empty feelin'
And that's all that it takes, i feel my heart start to break
So darlin', guess that makes us even now
Well i laid awake in bed last night rehearsin'
What i'd say if we should meet by chance
I'd tell you now that i'm the one who's hurtin' over you
And i'd give anything to have you back
Even now i catch myself daydreaming
'bout the nights when it was candlelight and wine
Even now i get that empty feelin'
And that's all that it takes, i feel my heart start to break
So darlin', guess that makes us even now
Oh, if i could turn back time, you would still be mine
So darlin', guess that makes us even now
2.If You Ever Want My Lovin'
(sara evans/billy yates/melba montgomery)
If you ever want my lovin'
There's a few things you should do
Bring me coffee in the early morning
And roses in the afternoon
If you ever want my lovin'
You gotta show me every day
But if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
You're gonna get it anyway
Well you're kickin' up your heels on the dance floor
With every pretty girl but me
You've been ignorin' me all night
And i'm likin' your strategy
Well i know you're tryin' to make me jealous
But i ain't gonna fuss or fret
'cause baby i've got your number
You're justa playin' hard to get
If you ever want my lovin'
There's a few things you should do
Bring me coffee in the early morning
And roses in the afternoon
If you ever want my lovin'
You gotta show me every day
But if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
You're gonna get it anyway
You won't admit to your buddies that you like me
It's cute the way you're actin' tough
But this little game you're playin'
Has gone about far enough
If you ever want my lovin'
There's a few things you should do
Bring me coffee in the early morning
And roses in the afternoon
If you ever want my lovin'
You gotta show me every day
But if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
You're gonna get it anyway
Yes, if you're thinkin' that you won't
And even if you don't
You're gonna get it anyway
3.Imagine That
(justin tubb)
Imagine me, still loving you
After all you've put me through
Well, i can't help it, i just do
Imagine that and that's not the half
Imagine this if you can
I've stood more, more than i should stand
But i'd still take you back again
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
Can you believe i'd swallow my pride
Well yes, yes, i guess you can
'cause you know you've always had my foolish heart
Right in the palm of your hand
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'cause i'll still be waiting and loving you
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
So, for what it's worth to you
It just don't matter what you might do
'cause i'll still be waiting and loving you
Imagine that, ain't that a laugh
4.I Don't Wanna See The Light
(sara evans/bill rice/sharon rice)
There's a cold wind howlin' at the trailer door
And the wolf that's been scratchin'
Is coming back for more
This quilt that mama gave us
Is the only thing between us
And the sunrise
And i don't want to see the light
No, i don't want to see the light
I don't want to see the light of day
Just this once
Will you make it go away
Take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day
'cause there are bills on the table and they're overdue
And these dreams we've been chasing
Well, they're far from coming true
Oh, i'm not scared of tomorrow
I just need a little more of tonight
And i don't want to see the light
No, i don't want to see the light
I don't want to see the light of day
Just this once
Will you make it go away
Take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day
Oh, take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day
I don't want to see the light of day
5.Shame About That
(sara evans/jamie o'hara)
I heard the word goin' round
Somebody said she's leavin' town
Packed up her bags and left you flat
Shame about that
Somebody said they saw her cryin'
Said she was through with all your lyin'
Said wild horses couldn't drag her back
Shame about that
Well excuse me for my lack of sympathy
I don't mean to be cruel
But it sounds like the same kind of thing you did to me
Back when i played the fool
So, don't bother knockin' on my door
'cause i wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole
You dug your grave now lay on back
Shame about that
Well excuse me for my lack of sympathy
I don't mean to be cruel
But it sounds like the same kind of thing you did to me
Back when i played the fool
So, don't bother knockin' on my door
'cause i wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole
You dug your grave now lay on back
Shame about that
6.The Week The River Raged
(sara evans/john bettis/jim rushing)
The river ran through howard county
It was the life blood of the land
It make fields of green tobacco
Aching backs and callused hands
Mama talked of a coming battle
That the women folk had to fight
'cause the good lord owned the daytime
But the devil seemed to own the night
Well, it came up out of nowhere
From a dark and bitter seed
It was the roughest kind of roadhouse
And a most unwanted weed
It drew the men folk like a magnet
The women knew what they had to do
So they put it in the hands of jesus
'cause they knew that he'd come through
And the rains came and the river swelled
And the more they prayed the more it fell
When the levies broke everybody saw
The awesome power of god
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
To bring a brighter day
'cause when the flood hit howard county
All the sins were washed away
Now the mothers tell the story
Of the week that the river raged
It's the passing of the wisdom
To the ears of tender age
Better walk the straight and narrow
Better keep a watchful eye
'cause there's a symbol of the wrath of heaven
In every dark cloud in the sky
And the rains came and the river swelled
And the more they prayed the more it fell
When the levies broke everybody saw
The awesome power of god
Then the clouds rolled back and the rainbow came
To bring a brighter day
'cause when the flood hit howard county
All the sins were washed away
7.Three Chords And The Truth
(sara evans/ron harbin/aimee mayo)
On a highway bound for nowhere
I ran my fingers through my tangled hair
As i pulled in for another tank of freedom
With a hundred miles behind me
And a million more to go
I was tryin' to put some distance between us
I turned on the radio
And a voice came over sweet and low
And i didn't know the tears were gonna start
But what amazed me even more
Is i'd never heard that song before
But somehow i knew each word by heart
And i don't know why, i don't know how
But with his song he turned my life and
This old car around
Just when i thought i was over you
He changed my life with three chords and the truth
Found a pay phone at a truck stop
Said a prayer as the quarter dropped
Oh, please be home, i know that i was wrong
Honey, don't talk, just listen
I think i found what i was missin'
In a song i heard tonight on a radio
And i don't know why, i don't know how
But with his song he turned my life and
This old car around
Just when i thought i was over you
He changed my life with three chords and the truth
Just when i thought i was over you
He changed my mind with three chords and the truth
8.True Lies
(sara evans/al anderson/sharon rice)
I look into those blue eyes
Something happens to me
Although i know again tonight
I'll hear nothing but true lies
That string of broken hearts all over town
Should be enough to tell me
I should be turning you down, then
I look into those blue eyes
Something happens to me
Although i know again tonight
I'll hear nothing but true lies
True lies will hurt me less than losing you
So darling lie to me
When i get lost in those blue eyes
I should know better than to let you in
We're just beginning
And i can already see the end, when
I look into those blue eyes
Something happens to me
Although i know again tonight
I'll hear nothing but true lies
9.Unopened
(leslie winn satcher)
There's a key in a letter unopened
Buried back in an old dresser drawer
There's a name stained with tears on that letter
One that i'm sure i've never seen before
There's no date on that letter unopened
My guess is it's faded with years
And i can't sleep at night now for wonderin'
How long has that secret been hiding here
Did you love someone, lose someone
Leave someone waiting
Is there somebody's heart out there
You could have taken
The letter says it all
Though the words go unspoken
You loved me enough to leave it unopened
There's a love that is trust without reason
There's a faith that leaves questions unasked
And though my heart has searched for the answer
I love you too much for these lips to ask
Did you love someone, lose someone
Leave someone waiting
Is there somebody's heart out there
You could have taken
The letter says it all
Though the words go unspoken
You loved me enough to leave it unopened
Oh, the letter says it all
Though the words go unspoken
And, i love you enough to leave it unopened
10.Walk Out Backwards
(bill anderson)
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
And life without your love just isn't life at all
So walk out backwards if you must go
But please don't wave goodbye
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
If i can just pretend
So walk out backwards
And i'll think you're walking in
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
And from that day down to this
You've walked all over me
And now you're walking out to love somebody new
But you're not by yourself
'cause my heart's leaving too
So walk out backwards if you must go
But please don't wave goodbye
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
If i can just pretend
So walk out backwards
And i'll think you're walking in
