1.Cold Day In July
The moon is full but my arms are empty
All night long how i've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that you'd leave me
Would be a cold day in july
Your bags are packed but not a word is spoken
Guess we said everything with good-bye
Time goes so fast when promises get broken
Cause here's that cold day in july
____
Sun's coming up,coming up,down on mainstreet
Children shout as they're running out to play
Head in my hands here i am standing in my
Bare feet
Watching you drive away(repeat)
You said that we were going last forever
You said our love would never die
It looks like spring and feels like sunny weather
But it's a cold day in july
_(rc)
The moon is full but my arms are empty
All night long how i've pleaded and cried
Sun's coming up on the day you're going leave me
And it's a cold day in july
Here comes that cold day in july
2.Don't Wanna
Don't wanna feel you in my heart
Don't wanna see you in my dreams anymore
Don't need to hear your doing fine
Baby i'm sure
Don't wanna call you on the phone
Don't wanna hear you being kind to me
I'll either make it or i won't
Baby we'll see
I never meant to be your fool
What can i do,i know it hurts you too
I wasn't careful at the start
Me with my dreams you with your change of heart
Don't wanna look into your eyes
Don't wanna see the way it might have been
You think i can't see gentle lies
But baby i can
I never meant to be your fool
What can i do,i know it hurts you too
I wasn't careful at the start
Me with my dreams you with your change of heart
Don't wanna spend another night
Alone and swearing that i'll take control
I'm workin' overtime to hide
What you already know
(chorus)
3.Drive South
(john hiatt)
I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore
That's how you learn you just get burned
We don't have to feel like dirt anymore
Though love's not learned baby it's our turn
We were always looking for true love
With our heads in the clouds
Just a little off course
But i left that motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out
Come on baby drive south
With the one you love
Come on baby drive south
I'm not talking about retreating no sir
Gonna take our stand in this chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holding hands all the way to dixie land
We've been trying to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids
It's been wearing us down
Don't turn away now darling
Lets fire it up and wind it out
Come on baby drive south
With the one you love
Come on baby drive south
I heard your momma calling
I think she was only stalling
Don't know who she's talking to
Baby me or you
We can go south with a smile on
Ain't going to pack my nylons
Just leave these legs showing
It gets hot down where were going
We were always looking for true love
With our heads in the clouds
Just a little off course
But i left that motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out
Come on baby drive south
With the one you love
Come on baby drive south
4.Eat At Joe's
(matraca berg/gary harrison)
I go to work from 10:30 untill 6 a.m
Raking up those dimes and quarters
Slinging eggs and ham
Scrambled, poached or over easy
Coffee black and strong
Jukebox of scratchy records
I play'em all night long
Eternal blue neon we're never closed
When the world is asleep
Darling come take a seat
You can always eat at joe's (eat at joe's)
Here come old frank taylor smelling like old gin
Guess his wife couldn't get him sober
It's up to me again
Here's a hot top on your momma
But i'll do i guess
Eternal blue neon we're never closes
When the world is asleep
Darling come take a seat
You can always eat at joe's (eat at joe's)
Hello prince charming where are you dear
When will you come in and order biscuits here
Truck drivers, musicians with no place to go
I can be your domestic goddess
For an hour or so
Eternal blue neon we're never closed
When the world is asleep
Darling come take a seat
You can always eat a t joe's (eat at joe's)
5.Heartache
(lowell george/ivan ulz)
I'm here out of love and i wish i could stay
But i know you heartache you'll stand in my way
There's no use in wishin' 'cause i ain't satisfied
I'm fit to be a misfit when you're at my side
Heartache find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do my pain will end
There's nowhere at all i'm feeling no pain
My body is sickly and my mind is insane
I call on you heartache to come show me how
I can't get no lower than this hole i'm in now
Heartache find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do my pain will end
Heartache find another place to be
I'm tired of being your best friend
Look to another for your companion
And when you do my pain will end
When you do my pain will end
6.How Come You Go To Her
Writers:suzy bogguss/anthony smith/michael garvin
Baby what has she got
Baby what's she do
What is this power she has over you
How come you go to her
What keeps you running to her door
Ain't no way that she could love you more
How come you go to her
Ain't i got the looks ain't i got the charm
Ain't i got this heart that's true
You said it was heaven in my arms
So how come they ain't holding you
Is it cause i scare you?
Is it cause she don't?
Cause i could win your heart and you know
She won't
How come you go to her
Ain't i got the looks ain't i got the charm
Ain't i got this heart so true
You said it was heaven in my arms
So how come they ain't holding you
All of this good love
You could ever want
You could get right here darling
But you don't
How come you go to her
7.In The Day
He meets her in a tarvern
He's taken by her smile
She thinks he looks reckless
And she's feelin' kind of wild
They leave that bar together
Make the rounds from place to place
They try to keep it light
Still they wind up face to face
___
So they up the bottle
To let those feelings out
It's the only way they know
To say the truth or hide the doubt
In the night they love and fight
And sometimes even touch
But in the day they don't remember much
They hold on to one another
Make a corcle of their friends
Time passes quickly
When the party never ends
They do everything together
Till there's nothing left to do
But keep the champagne flowing
Right on through the honeymoon
__(rc)
Well the sun comes thru the window
She crawls out of bed
Tries to make the coffee
While he tries to clear his head
They stare across the table
Thru the silence and the hurt
They've come down to the problem
And it's gonna take some work
_(rc)
8.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.
9.Love Goes Without Saying
He knows each time he holds her
It's love,but he's never told her
He thinks that she knows
He thinks it goes without saying
That's not the way she planned it
She needs to have a man that can call it by name
Or it's only a game their playing
____
Unless she knows
The distance grows
Because love goes without saying
Tears fall on the note she's leaving
She can't go on believing an unspoken love
It's just not enough,she's not staying
He wakes and smells the coffee
The clock alarm goes off,he doesn't hear the
Door close
Doesn't hear as love goes without saying
_______(rc)
He reads the words of the letter
But just can't believe what they say
He cries out 'i love you,don't do this'
But it's too late she's pulling away

10.Lovin' A Hurricane
You answer questions like a natural disaster
Voices in the wind you let 'em call me out
The whole foundation just went flying past here
I put my heart into it and you just yank it out
You pulled my love through the windowpane
That's what i get for loving a hurricane
I could've run off with some texas tornado
Some mister twister i could kick up my boot
Heals with
Could've rode him on down to laredo
But you blew up on the gulf like a hot,wet kiss
Blew my mind fast as a bullet train
That's what i get for loving a hurricane
Wah,wah wind and rain
Wah,wah it's a shame
That's what i get for loving a hurricane
I might've known you'd get it sooner or later
Living in that trailer park out on the sandy beach
Where tides roll in like big dream generators
Forces of nature blow everything out of reach
Water in my living room,fire up in my brain
That's what i get for loving a hurricane

11.The Other Side Of The Hill
Watch out when they start to twist
Hold tight with a leather fist
That's what his daddy told him
How to ride the bull
There's a jingle in his jeans
Sore places in between
He's leaving me tennessee
With a push and a pull
____
Ten four,honey,come on back
Horse trailer on your cadillac
I'm calling for the cowboy in the coupe de ville
Chug a lug up one side
Glide down the other
He's a lover of the other side of the hill
Turn up the radio don't think about rodeo
Don't think about roundup up in old cheyenne
It's a crazy circuit but he still works it
Come on turn that sound up let's check the scan
__(rc)
Bandana on a rear view mirror
Still wet from ear to ear
I'm praying he'll remember
What the wise man say
When you ride that last one
Better make it a fast one
Jump while he's moving
And just walk away
_(rc)
