"She Knows When You're On My Mind"

"She Knows When You're On My Mind"


She knows she's holdin' someone who don't love her
She knows she's where you could have been
She knows I turn to her because you turned me down
And she knows when you're on my mind again

Every night she opens up the door to heaven
But when you're on my mind I can't go in
And you come runnin' through my mind and I let my memory chase you
She knows when you're on my mind again

Sometimes late at night I hear her crying
She turns to me but you won't let her in
She knows the door is locked but she keeps trying
She knows when you're on my mind again

Every night she opens up the door to heaven
But when you're on my mind I can't go in
And you come runnin' through my mind and I let my memory chase you
She knows when you're on my mind again

"She Lays It All On The Line"

"She Lays It All On The Line"


Her hair is red and her eyes are green, she's soft and tender, but she can be mean.
She knows what it takes to keep me right on track,
And when it comes to loving she don't hold nothin' back.

When she loves me she's nearly outta control
When she love, loves me it comes from deep in her soul
When she loves me I know she's all mine
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.

Out honky tonkin' where the lights are down low
She always asks the man to play something real slow
When we get home I know she'll take up the slack
Cause when it comes to loving she don't hold nothin' back.

When she loves me it's the things that she says
When she loves me she's way out on the edge
When she loves me I lose track of time, when my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.

My baby taught me something everybody should learn
When you're playing with fire it's alright to get burned
It really don't matter if you lose or you win - the only way to do it is get out on that limb.

When she loves me she's nearly outta control
When she love, loves me it comes from deep in her soul
When she loves me I know she's all mine
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.

"She Let Herself Go"

"She Let Herself Go"


He wondered how she'd take it when he said goodbye.
Thought she might do some cryin'... lose some sleep at night.
But he had no idea, when he hit the road,
That without him in her life, she'd let herself go.

Let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City...
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

[Instrumental break]

She poured her heart an' soul into their three-bedroom ranch.
Spent her days raisin' babies, ironin' his pants.
Came home one day from the grocery store and found his note,
And without him there to stop her, she let herself go.

Let herself go on her first blind-date...
Had the time of her life with some friends at the lake.
Let herself go, buy a brand new car,
Drove down to the beach he always said was too far.
Sand sure felt good between her toes...

She let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City...
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

To Vegas once... Honolulu, New York City.
Came back knocked-out pretty.

"She Loves Me (She Don't Love You)"

"She Loves Me (She Don't Love You)"


Well now I can see your dancin every dance with her
And it seems to me that your dancin much too close to her
When you sat down at our table
You sat next to her
But I know that it's true
She loves me, She don't love you

[Chorus:]
Let me tell you friend
I'm wise to your lies
You've been tellin me that I'm the guy for her
And every little thing you do and say
Is givin you away
You're in love with her

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me

Here's your coat and there's the door
I think you better leave
Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, She don't love you

[Chorus]

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me

Here's your coat and there's the door
I think you better leave
Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, She don't love you

Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, She don't love you

"She Told Me So"

"She Told Me So"


I'm her world and she revolves around me
Just being lose to me makes her love grow
Each night she thanks God for the day she found me
Why, when she came home this morning, she told me so

And there's roses blooming in the Arctic Circle
Icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico
And there's not one star in Heaven
Or a sunrise anymore
I'd believe it if she told me so

I know people say she has a lover
Referring to this guy she's come to know
Well, they're just friends, she loves him like a brother
And she's never even kissed him, she told me so

And there's roses blooming in the Arctic Circle
Icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico
And there's not one star in Heaven
And 8 don't follow 7
I'd believe it if she told me so

"She Took The Wind From His Sails"

"She Took The Wind From His Sails"


Outer banks of North Carolina
Lies a sleepy harbor town
Generations of old sailors
Dropped their sails and settled down
Sam he is a young seafarer
Grandson fo a schooner man
Catherine is a sailmaker's daughter
Today he's gonna take her hand

Calm waters
Wish them well
His ship's come in
She's put the wind in his sails

Catherine is a canvas painter
Paints the sun and sand and sea
Lately she's been painting a portrait
Sammy is a dad to be

Calm waters
Wish them well
His ship's come in
She's put the wind in his sails

January brought the fever
Sam was right there by her side
Doctor told him son I'm sorry
But Catherine needs your prayers tonight
Morning light brought Sam a daughter
Fever took his better half
Sam gave Catherine to the water
As he held theit baby to his chest

Calm waters
Wished him well
His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails

His ship came in
But she took the wind from his sails

"She Used To Say That To Me"

"She Used To Say That To Me"


Let's take a rest
Your kisses take my breath
You are the best
It's never been like this

[Chorus:]
She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She'll tell you she'll never leave
She used to say that to me

It thrills you so
When she whispers soft and low
"Please hold me tight
I need your love tonight"

[Chorus]

"I'm yours," she sighs
And she means it at the time
But someday she'll go
If you're wonderin' how I know

She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She'll tell you she'll never leave
She used to say that
She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She'll tell you she'll never leave
She used to say that to me

She used to say that to me

"She'll Leave You With A Smile"

"She'll Leave You With A Smile"


At first she's gonna come on strong
Like She'll love you all night long
Like it's going out of style
Then she'll leave you with a smile

Well you can't help but wonder
Why you can't help but love her
But you can't help love her
And all that hurtin' was more than worth it
It's written all over your face

One day you'll pass her on the street
With that guy you used to be
She'll say hello and walk on by
Then she'll leave you with a smile

Well you can't help but wonder
Why you can't help but love her
But you can't help love her
And all that hurtin' was more than worth it
It's written all over your face

At first she's gonna come on strong
Like She'll love you all night long
Like it's going out of style
Then she'll leave you with a smile

Ah, she's gonna love you
She gonna leave you with a smile
Ah, she's gonna love you
She gonna leave you with a smile

"She's Playing Hell Trying To Get Me To Heaven"

"She's Playing Hell Trying To Get Me To Heaven"


I Let it All Hang out Last Night
I Come in Hung over this Morning
My Woman Met Me at the Door
Preachin' Me this Warnin'
She Said Dillon You're Gonna Have to Change
Your Sinful Way of Living
But She's Playing Hell
Trying to Get Me to Heaven
Oh I Promised to Go to Church with Her
'Bout a Month of Sundays Ago
Well Here it Is Sunday Again
I Ain't Been Once in a Row
Every Time That Ole Church Bell Rings
You Can Hear My Rod 'N Reel a Singing
And She's Playing Hell
Trying to Get Me to Heaven

[Chorus:]
She's Playing Hell, Trying to Get Me to Heaven
There Ain't No Way All My Sins Can Be Forgiven
They Say There's Only Ten Commandments, but I Broke at Least Eleven
She's Playing Hell, Trying to Get Me to Heaven

She Went out and Bought Me
A Sunday Got to Meeting Suti
I must Confess it Looked Pretty Sharp
With My Deer Hunting Boots
But I Wore Holes in Both the Knees
Trying to Roll Them Sevens
She's Playing Hell
Trying to Get Me to Heaven

[Chorus]

Yes She's Playing Hell Trying to Get Me to Heaven
Seven Come Eleven Baby Come on

"Sittin' On The Fence"

"Sittin' On The Fence"


She's gotta body like a hundred dollar bill
soft as satin, smooth as silk
And to top all that, she's got a heart to match

I could do a lot worse I know
I'd be a damn fool to let her go
Shouldn't be a doubt
Still here I am

[Chorus:]
Sittin' on a stool, sitting' on the fence
Tryin' to play it cool, tryin' to talk some sense
Into this crazy heart, lookin' for a sign
Do I let her go or do I make her mine
While there's still a chance
Sittin' on a stool, sitting' on the fence

Guess I should probably settle up and head for the door
MAybe I'll just stay and have one more
to calm my nerves
one more can't hurt

Truth is I don't know what she sees in me
She says, I'm all she'll ever want or need
On Gond's green earth, but one more can't hurt

[Repeat Chorus]

Do I run to her and tell her she's the one
Or do I do just like I've always done

Sittin' on a stool, sitting' on the fence
Tryin' to play it cool, tryin' to talk some sense
Into this crazy, mixed-up heart of mine
Do I let her go or do I make her mine
While there's still a chance
Sittin' on a stool, sittin' on the fence
Sittin' on a stool, sittin' on the fence
