"When True Love Steps In"

"When True Love Steps In"


When I met him he was lonely from a love that went wrong
And I helped him to forgive about the life he have known
And I gave him the courage to start over again
Yes, it's funny how people change when true love steps in.

And when I met her she was looking for a true and good time
And when she found out someone cared it changed her ways in her mind
And then I asked her to go with me I didn't care where she'd been
Ain't it funny how people change when true love steps in.

True love stepped in and I know it will last
If we live for tomorrow and forget about the past
For the first time in a long time we're happy again
Yes, it's funny how people change when true love steps in.

Yes, it's funny how people change when true love steps in...

"When Two Worlds Collide"

"When Two Worlds Collide"


Your world was so different
From mine don't you see
We just couldn't be close
Though we tried.

We both reached for heavens
But ours weren't the same
That's what happens
When two worlds collide.

Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never
Fit in, I wish it could.

Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh. how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide.

Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never
Fit in, wish it could.

Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh, how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide...

"When Your House Is Not A Home"

"When Your House Is Not A Home"


I walked up to my door and hate to turn the key
Emptiness is all that waits inside for me
That's how it is when the one you love is gone
That's how it is when your house is not a home.

I look around and see things marked with "his" and "hers"
Little things like this just make things that much worse
That's how it is since I live my life alone
That's how it is since my house is not a home.

Is there a way out for a soul so torn as mine
Each day I live I'm like a prisoner, passing time
That's how it is, ask anyone who lives alone
That's how it is when your house is not a home.

That's how it is when your house is not a home...

"When Your Phone Don't Ring (It'll Be Me)"

"When Your Phone Don't Ring (It'll Be Me)"


Well, tonight when you lay lonely in your king size bed
With a hunger inside you can feel
Will, I'll be the empty place laying next to you
And when your phone don't ring it'll be me

It'll be me not calling you, crying like I used to do
A-crawlin' on my hands and knees
It'll be me not on the phone, begging let me come back home
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

Well, tonight it'll be my car not in your driveway
And you'll wonder where on earth I could be
It'll be my footsteps you don't hear in the hallway
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

It'll be me not calling you, crying like I used to do
Crawlin' on my hands and knees
It'll be me not on the phone, a-begging let me come back home
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

Aw, it'll be me not calling you, crying like I used to do
Crawlin' on my hands and knees
It'll be me not on the phone, a-begging let me come back home
And when your phone don't ring, it'll be me.

Yes, when your phone don't ring, it'll be me

"When Your're Ugly Like Us"

"When Your're Ugly Like Us"


Hey George I hear you been callin' me ugly
That ain't exactly what I said John
Well what exactly did you said
This is exactly what I said

When you're ugly like John you just naturally gotta be good
You gotta walk just right and keep your package wrapped tight and don't break no rules
You gotta give it away you'll never sell it
Have the right Venus say wow when you tell it
When you're ugly like John you just naturally gotta be cool

When you're ugly like George you gotta give the ladies all you can
When you use the right tools she'd be a fool to want a better man
Yeah talk it up big and she can almost taste it
It can be on a check George you better not waste it
When you're ugly like George you just naturally gotta be cool

John when you look like this you've got to steal a kiss that's the only way
You gotta find yourself a chick that ain't too quick and she just might stay
We may be ugly but we got what she needs
We don't give it to her till she begs and pleads
When you're ugly like us you just naturally gotta be cool
Yeah when you're ugly like us you just naturally gotta be cool

"Where Did The Sunshine Go?"

"Where Did The Sunshine Go?"


Where did the sunshine go why is it raining so
Where is the love I used to know where did the sunshine go
Where did the sunshine go why do the cold winds blow
Where is the one I needed so where did the sunshine go

I discovered the sunshine in a woman's loving smile
Like a fool I thought the sun had come to stay
Then she fell for another and the sun went out of style
And the springtime vanished when I went away

Where did the sunshine go...

Now there's mothing but heartaches in the whole wide lonely earth
Anyway my blue world looks that way to me
Gone is all of the sunshine and the smile that gave it birth
Leaving nothingbut a cold cold misery

Where did the sunshine go...

"Where Does A Little Tear Come From"

"Where Does A Little Tear Come From"


Where does a little tear come from?
Where does a little tear come from?
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart
That's where a little tear comes from.

Where does the broken heart come from?
Where does the broken heart come from?
It comes when you find that you love the roving kind
That's where the broken heart comes from.

Where does the roving kind come from?
Where does the roving kind come from?
From the wild and restless river that wanders on forever
That's where the roving kind comes from.

Where does the restless river come from?
Where does the restless river come from?
It comes from little tears that I shed through the years
That's where the restless river comes from.

Where does a little tear come from?...

"Where Grass Won't Grow"

"Where Grass Won't Grow"


The dirt was clay an' was the color of the blood in me.
A twelve acre farm on a ridge in south Tennessee.
We left our sweat all over that land,
Behind a mule we watched grow old,
Row after row.
Trying to grow corn an' cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow.

There was one old store in the holler we all called town.
It belonged to a gentle old man named Henry Brown.
He gave us grits and in the winter time,
So we could live through the cold,
When the winds brought snow.
Trying to grow corn an' cotton on ground so poor that grass won't grow.

The one I loved walked through those fields with me.
A hard workin' woman, true as one could be.
But then one year, death was goin' round,
And swiftly took it's toll.
Janie had to go.
Now she lies asleep under ground so poor that grass won't grow.

As I stand here looking over this part of Tennessee,
The fields are bare as far as the eye can see.
And over the ground where Janie lies,
There's a beautiful sight to behold,
And no one knows,
Why there's flowers growin' on ground so poor that grass won't grow...

"Where The Tall Grass Grows"

"Where The Tall Grass Grows"


There's three bedrooms
Hardwood floors and the kitchen's new
It's got everything a family needs
With a backyard view

Ask anyone where it is
Everybody knows who used to live
Where the tall grass grows

A couple who lived there before
They kept it off
But since they left that big old yard
Looks a little rough

And God, I miss that little boy
Who always kept and mowed
Wish they'd still live
Where the tall grass grows

So come by and get the kid
Go make yourself at home
Take all the time you need
Wish I could come along

But I'd truly be under fire
And crawl across its floor
And to face those burning memories
Where the tall grass grows

Yes, I'd truly be under fire
Crawl across its floor
And to face those burning memories
Where the tall grass grows
Can't go back and face those memories
Where the tall grass grows

"Where We'll Never Grow Old"

"Where We'll Never Grow Old"


I have heard of a land on the far away strand
'Tis a beautiful home of the soul
Built by Jesus on high, where we never shall die
'Tis a land where we never grow old.

Never grow old, never grow old
In a land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In a land where we'll never grow old.

When our work here is done and the life crown is won
And out troubles and trials are o'er
All our sorrows will end and our voices will blend
With the loved ones who've gone on before

Never grow old, never grow old
In a land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In a land where we'll never grow old...
