1.Aces
Well my old friend said to me
That i ain't being what i'm supposed to be
Well i don't know it could be true
I know i wasn't always there for you
And now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me can't you see
I would never want to do what it
Seems i've done
You can't deal me the aces and think i
Wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would
Walk away
The things you think i should do
I've never understood that part of you
You know i've tried to be a friend
But you feel underminded and hurt again
Now don't let it convince you
Please don't take it to heart
Compromise and realize
You can never really run everything
You start
You can't deal me the aces and think i
Wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would
Walk away
And i guess i said i could'nt see
How thing's could turn out like they've
Come to be
And if i lied and if i knew
Well i was only trying to think of you

2.Letting Go
(cheryl wheeler)
She'll take the painting in the hallway,
The one she did in jr. high
And that old lamp up in the attic,
She'll need some light to study by.
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway
Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.
Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too.
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway.
Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.
Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.
3.Let Goodbye Hurt
(ellen crandall)
It sure looks like this love is winding down
You changed your mind about me and what you thought you'd found
Funny how it works that way, but i just couldn't see
Any sign that you were pulling out on me
I've been in your shoes and i know how it feels
You say you love me, but that don't make it real
I'm better off knowing that you'll be gone for good
Let's just let goodbye hurt like it should
One side of love doesn't get you anywhere
There's nothing worse than loving someone who's just not there
I know you searched for something here, can't say you didn't try
But feelings such as these don't just fall out of the sky
I've been in your shoes and i know how it feels
You say you love me, but that don't make it real
I'm better off knowing that you'll be gone for good
Let's just let goodbye hurt like it should
I've been in your shoes and i know how it feels
You say you love me, but that don't make it real
I'm better off knowing now that you'll be gone for good
Let's just let goodbye hurt like it should
Let's just let goodbye hurt like it should
4.Music On The Wind
When i walk alone and think of you
I hear music on the wind
Birds are singing cause they hear it too
When there's music on the wind
Once there was a story i was told
Of how love sings a song
If you hear the wind and listen close
It goes... aria,aria
I can feel the rhythm in my heart
When there's music on the wind
And with every beat it plays a part
Of the music on the wind
How can you resist a moonlit night
When there's music on the wind
You and i could listen side by side
To the music on the wind
Just like in the story i was told
Of how love sings a song
If you hear the wind and listen close
It goes... aria,aria....aria,
Listen to a lovers rhapsody
It's the music on the wind
Won't you come outside and dance with me
To the music on the wind
Aria,aria
5.Outbound Plane
(nanci griffith/tom russell)
I don't want to be standing here
With this ticket for this outbound plane
'cause i've been here before
But somehow it doesn't feel the same
Talk is cheap, so we could talk all night long
We may never figure out just where our love went wrong
Chorus:
I don't wanna be standin' here
And i don't wanna be talkin' here
And i don't really care who's to blame
'cause if love won't fly on its own free will
Its gonna catch that outbound plane
The old folks say loves not forever anymore
Because these young people walk away
From love alone, to pace the floor
Young or old i say that love is still the same
And you may walk away from love
But you'll fall head and heel again
(repeat chorus)
Two lonely hearts in this aiport knowing
Neither cares where that other heart is going
But if love won't fly on its own free will
Its gonna catch that outbound plane
Hat crown you're wearin'
Is just your halo turned upside down
Where is the laughter we once shared
Back in the lost and found
These broken wings are gonna leave me here
To stand my ground
You can have this ticket
For that lonely plane thats flyin' out
(repeat chorus)
6.Part Of Me
I put a candle in the window
Then take picture from the wall
Avoid all the places we'd go
Then wait around on your call
________
There's a part of me that wishes
All my dreams come true
And a part of me that prays
That i'll wake up someday over you
I throw a penny in the river
Thinking that'll bring you home
Then throw another right behind her
Hopin'that you don't
_____(rc)
The way it comes and goes
Ridin' high fallin' low
There's a part of me that wishes
That all my dreams come true
And part of me that prays
I'll wake up some sweet day over you
7.Save Yourself
8.Someday Soon
(ian tyson)
There's a young man that i know whose age is twenty-one
Comes from down in southern colorado
Just out of the service, he's lookin' for his fun
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me cryin'
I would follow him right down the roughest road i know
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
But when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days
So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from california
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
When he comes to call, my pa ain't got a word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days
So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from california
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
Someday soon, goin' with him
9.Still Hold On
If i told you tonight that i loved you
Would you walk my way,would you say
Lies that i wanted to hear
If i told you tonight that i need you
Would you break my heart would you start
Wearin' me down again
I feel so lonely when i'm with you
But i'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live without you
But i still hold on
I still hold on
If i told you tonight i was leavin'
Would you call my name,take the blame
Turn it all around again
Cause you know i love you
And it's worth the heartache
I curse the heartbreak we make
But i still hold on
10.Yellow River Road
We've sure had the snow for december
Just one open road to town
But it's three night's runnin' i've stood here
Watchin' you headed back down that
Yellow river road
Now this winter is closin' in
Looks like it's gonna be long and hard
Go on down be with your friends
Just don't go too far
,----
Down the yellow river road
You know i always say that you
Ought to go
When you need some time alone
But if there's anything else pullin' you
Down that way
Then you ought to know
You've gone too far-down the
Yellow river road
,
That roads goes lots of places
But don't forget it's my road too
And i won't have friends with guilty faces
Watchin' me walkin' with you down the
Yellow river road
Could be all this snow that's fallin'
Makin' me think there's something wrong
But that road goes both ways darlin'
You could come home
