Somewhere Other Than The Night
CD:Fresh Horses
Title:She's Every Woman
She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
She's every woman that I've ever known
She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
She's every place that I've never been
She's makin love on rainy nights
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again
It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence
She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst it ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had
CD:Fresh Horses
Title:The Change
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm
CHORUS:
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me
This heart
Still believes
That love and mercy still exist
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as
this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss
CHORUS
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
CHORUS
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me
CD:Garth Brooks
Title:If Tomorrow Never Comes
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
CHORUS:
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
CHORUS
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
CD:Garth Brooks
Title:The Dance
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
CHORUS:
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
CHORUS
It's my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
CD:Hope Floats Soundtrack
Title:To Make You Feel My Love
When the rain is blowing in your face
and the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love
When evening shadows
and the stars appear
and there is no one there
to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your
mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment
that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
Down the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing
wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Got to the ends of the earth for you
I could make you happy, make your
dreams come true
To make you feel my love
CD:In Pieces
Title:Callin' Baton Rouge
I spent last night in the arms
Of a girl in Louisiana
And though I'm out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles
Callin' Baton Rouge
A replay of last night's events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin' Baton Rouge
CHORUS:
Operator won't you put me on through
I gotta' send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up won't you put her on the line
I gotta' talk to the girl just one more time
Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to
my last dime
Callin' Baton Rouge
CHORUS
Callin' Baton Rouge
Sweet Baton Rouge, my Baton Rouge
CD:In Pieces
Title:One Night A Day
There's not a lot of things to do
I wouldn't rather do with you
Guess I'm funny that way
Lately I just sit and stare
I talk to people who aren't there
To get through one night a day
CHORUS:
One night a day
One step away
From leavin' you behind
I sit up with the radio
Sing along with the ones I know
To get through one night a day
CHORUS
I'm callin' every friend I've had
Wake 'em up, and make 'em mad
Let 'em know that I'm OK
I used to sit and talk to you
They're all just a substitute
To get through one night a day
CHORUS
I stay up with the late, late show
Just another way I know
To get through one night a day
To get through one night a day
CD:In Pieces
Title:The Red Strokes
Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they're painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It's a true work of art
CHORUS:
Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can't command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand
CHORUS
Oh, the blues will be blue and the jealousies green
But when love picks its shade it demands to be seen
CHORUS
Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
CD:In Pieces
Title:The Night Will Only Know
That night will live forever
Their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another
But longing to be lovers
Promising each other that the night will only know
Parked on some old backstreet
They laid down in the backseat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know
Well within the innuendos
Just outside the steamy windows
The night was shattered by a woman's scream
Motionless and frightened
The grip of fate had tightened
And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam
They saw a woman pleading
Stumbling, begging, and retreating
'Til she became the victim of a foe
And they watched her fall in silence
To save their own alliance
But the reason for the violence
Just the night will only know
And every paper ran the story
She was stripped of all her glory
And they told exactly how the woman died
Abandoned and forsaken
Too many pills were taken
And they ruled the woman's death a suicide
Bound by their behavior
They could have been her savior
Now guilt becomes an endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed
And it's never been admitted
Have the guilty been acquitted
Lord, the night will only know
CD:No Fences
Title:Same Old Story
While they dance
How she holds him
Pulls him close
And loves him so
While he dreams of another
and counts the days
Until he lets her go
CHORUS:
Same old story
That everybody knows
It's one heart holdin' on
One letting go
While they ride
Lord, he tells her
How they two
Will settle down
But she only hrs the highwaay
And a voice
In some other town
And the harder
He holds her
The more she slips away
CD:No Fences
Title:Unanswered Prayers
Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife nd I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
CHORUS:
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good Lord
For the gifts in my life
CHORUS
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
CD:Ropin' The Wind
Title:Burning Bridges
Yesterday she thanked me
For oilin' that front door
This morning when she wakes
She won't be thankful anymore
She'll never know how much I cared
Just that I couldn't stay
And I'll never know the reason
Why I always run away
CHORUS:
Burning bridges one by one
What I'm doin' can't be undone
And I'm always hoping someday
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
But every time the chance comes up
Another bridge goes down
Last night we talked of old times
Families and home towns
Whe wondered if we'd both agree
On where we'd settle down
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge
Whenever it arrived
Now through the flames I see her
Standin' on the other side
CHORUS
Like ashes on the water
I drift away in sorrow
Knowing that the day
My lesson's finally learned
I'll be standing at a river
Staring out across tomorrow
And the bridge I need to get there
Will be a bridge that I have burned
CHORUS
Another bridge goes down
CD:Ropin' The Wind
Title:In Lonesome Dove
She was a girl on a wagon train
Haded west across the plains
The train got lost in a summer storm
They couldn't move west and they couldn't go home
Then she saw him ridin' through the rain
He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train
And she looked down and her heart was gone
The train went west but she stayed on
In Lonesome Dove
A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand
A blooming rose in a bed of sand
She loved the man who wore a star
A Texas Ranger known near and far
So they got married and they had a child
But times were touch and the West was wild
So it was no surprise the day she learned
That her Texas man would not return
To Lonesome Dove
CHORUS:
Back to back with the Rio Grande
A Christian woman in the devil's land
She learned the language and she learned to fight
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
She watched her boy grow into a man
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand
He wore his star for all to see
He was a Texas lawman legacy
The one day word blew into town
It seemed the men that shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico
The only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonesome Dove
The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street
The men lay at the ranger's feet
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway
Though no one knows who held the gun
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
In Lonesome Dove
CHORUS
CD:Ropin' The Wind
Title:Shameless
Well I'm shamemeless when it comes to loving you
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything at all
And I'm standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby, that's what's left of me
Don't have very far to fall
You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied
I'm shameless, oh honey, I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standin' there
I go down upon my knees
And I'm changing, swore I'd never compromise
Oh, but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please
You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you
I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I've never had so much to lose
Oh, I'm shameless
You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this
It's out of my hands
I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go
Oh, I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know
Oh, I'm shameless, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I'm shameless, Oh, I'm down on my knees...shameless
CD:Ropin' The Wind
Title:What She's Doing Now
Last time I saw her it was turnin' colder
But that was years ago
Last I heard she had moved to Boulder
But where she's now, I don't know
But there's somethin' 'bout this time of year
That spins my head around
Takes me back, makes me wonder
What she's doin' now
CHORUS:
'Cause what she's doin' now is tearin' me apart
Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows...what she's doin' now
Just for laughs, I dialed her old number
But no one knew her name
Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered
If she'd ever done the same
I took a walk in the evenin' wind
To clear my head somehow
But tonight I lie here thinkin'
Wha's she doin' now
CHORUS
CD:Sevens
Title:You Move Me
This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee
So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground.
You move me
You give me courage I didn't know I had
You move me
I can't go with you and stay where I am
So you move me.
This is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin what they mean
And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch
Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I'm burning with love and with hope and desire
How you move me.
You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way
Cause you move me
You get me dancing and you make me sing
You move me
Now I'm taking delight in every little thing
You move me.
CD:Sevens
Title:A Friend To Me
Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we've first met
Me and you
Well we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret
Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me
You can be so stubborn
There's times I think that you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right
And there's times I'd rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me
You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show me it's okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology
Oh you've always been
And you will 'til God knows when
Yes you've always been a friend to me
CD:Sevens
Title:How You Ever Gonna Know
That old wind that's whippin' out there..
It's whistlin' your tune..
That wind blew pyramids to Egypt..
And footprints to the moon..
And that old star that you been wishin' on..
Is shinin' mighty bright..
But it's the fire in your heart..
That's gonna lead you to the light..
How you ever gonna know..
What it's like to live there..
How you ever gonna know victory..
How you ever gonna know..
What it's like when dreams become reality..
How you ever gonna know..
How it feels to hold her..
How you ever gonna know..
What it's like to dance..
How you ever gonna know..
If you never take a chance..
You know failure isn't failure..
If a lesson from it's learned..
I guess love would not be love..
Without a risk of being burned..
Anything in life worth havin'..
Lord, it has its sacrifice..
But the gift you're receiving...
Is worth more than the price..
How you ever gonna know..
What it's like to live there..
How you ever gonna know..
What you never knew..
How you ever gonna know..
If you're down here doin'..
What the good Lord put you here to do..
How you ever gonna know..
If you could have done it..
How you ever gonna know..
How it feels to fly..
How you ever gonna know..
If you never dare to try..
Listen not to the critics..
Who put their own dreams on a shelf..
If you want to get the truth to admit it..
You gotta find out for yourself..
How you ever gonna know..
What it's like to be there..
How you ever gonna know..
If you're the best..
How you ever gonna know..
What you believe in..
If you don't put it to the test..
How you ever gonna know..
How it feels to hold him..
How you ever gonna know..
What livin' means..
How you ever gonna know..
If you never chase the dream..
How you ever gonna know..
Your potential..
How you ever gonna know victory..
How you ever gonna know..
What it's like when dreams become reality..
How you ever gonna know..
How it feels to hold her..
How you ever gonna know..
What it's like to dance..
How you ever gonna know..
If you never take the chance..

Title:I Don't Have To Wonder
Drove to the Church
In my suit and tie
But i just couldn't bring myself
To go inside
So I sat alone
In my truck across the street
Watched the chauffer smokin' cigarettes
By that long limousine
I could just imagine
What was goin' on in there
Sunlight streamin' through the stained glass
And those flowers in her hair
And in less time than it takes a tear to fall
Those bells rang loud as thunder
As they opened up the doors
Now I don't have to wonder anymore
Laughin' and cryin'
Tossin' that bouquet
And when you got in that limo
I drove off the other way
And I still don't know
Why thing happened like the did
But I parked that old pickup
On that lonesome river bridge
I took your ring from my pocket
And I held it one last time
Watched that diamond sparkle
I drew back and let her fly
And in less time than it takes a tear to fall
Those bells rang loud as thunder
As they opened up the doors
Now I don't have to wonder anymore
Well the angels sang like thunder
As I felt my self go under
Now I dont have to wonder anymore
CD:Sevens
Title:In Another's Eyes
In Another's Eyes
I'm someone who
Loves her enough
To walk away from you
I'd never cheat
And I would never lie
In another's eyes
In anothers' eyes
I could do no wrong
And he believes in me
And his faith is strong
I'd never fall
Or even compromise
In another's eyes
In another's eyes
I'm afraid that I can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And I pray that they never do
'Cause everytime I look
I'm seein' you
In another's eyes
In another's eyes
Starin' back at me
Tryin' desperately
To turn the tide
Before it dies
In another's eyes
And what they don't see
Is killing me
It's a blessing and a curse
That love is blind
'Cause in another's eyes
I'm afraid that I can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And I pray to god they never do
'Cause every time I look
I'm seein' you
In another's eyes
CD:The Chase
Title:Every Now And Then
I walked down to the park last night
Warm breeze stirring up a soft moonlight
And my mind started drifting to way back when
Yes I do think about you every now and then
The other day I saw a car like you used to drive
I got a funny feeling down deep inside
And for the briefest moment I felt a smile begin
Yes I do think about you every now and then
CHORUS:
I love my life and I'd never trade
Between what you and me had and the life I've made
She's here and she's real, but you were too
And every once in a while I think about you
I heard a song on the radio just yesterday
The same one you always asked me to play
And when the song was over
I wished they'd played it again
Yes I do think about you every now and then
CHORUS
I've been layin' here all night listenin' to the rain
Talkin' to my heart and tryin' to explain
Why sometimes I catch myself
Wondering what might have been
Yes I do think about you every now and then
Every now and then
Every now and then
CD:The Chase
Title:Somewhere Other Than The Night
He could see the storm clouds rollin' across the hill
He barely beat the rain in from the field
And between the backdoor slammin' she heard him say
"Damn this rain and damn this wasted day"
But she'd been waitin' for this day for oh so long
She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her
apron on
And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while
When their eyes met, they both began to smile
CHORUS:
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to hear I love you
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know you care
She wants to know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
They spent the day wrapped up in a blanket
On the front porch swing
He'd come to realize he'd neglected certain things
And there are times she feels alone even by his side
It was the first time she ever saw him cry
CHORUS
To know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
