"As Far As It Goes"

"As Far As It Goes"

Lately I've found myself fallin'
Deeper in love with you
I'm not the kind of guy
Who gets swept away
So here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna give you this heart of mine
But that's where I draw the line

[Chorus:]
I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes

I know it may not sound like much
But baby, make no mistake
I'm gonna treat you with more tenderness
Than any one woman can take
I'm gonna make all your dreams come true
But after that, baby, I'm through

[Chorus]

You've got your limits, I've got mine
I'm only gonna go the distance
Time after time

[Chorus]

But that's as far as it goes

"Away In A Manger"

"Away In A Manger"

[Chorus:]
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle all glory the baby awakes
Buy little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love the Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is night

[Chorus]

"Baby Blue"

"Baby Blue"

She looked so much like a lady, but she was so much like a child.
A devil when she held me close, an angel when she smiled.
She always held it deep inside, but somehow I always knew
She's go away when the grass turned green and the sky turned baby blue.

[Chorus:]
And baby blue was the color of her eyes.
Baby blue like the Colorado skies.
Like a breath of spring, she came and left,
And I still don't know why,
So here's to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.

She brought colors to my life that my eyes had never touched.
And when she taught me how to care, I never cared so much.
I try not to think of her, but I fall asleep and do,
And drift off where the grass is green and the sky is baby blue.

[Chorus 2x]

[Chorus]

"Baby Your Baby"

"Baby Your Baby"

All you know it all lovers better heed some advice,
If you're bad to your baby, you'd better think twice.
Love don't come easy, love ain't blind.
You've got to show her you love her, morning and night,
Be there for her just to make things right.
Make her believe till there ain't a doubt in her mind.

[Chorus:]
Better baby your baby with a love that's strong,
Hold her and tell her you'll never do wrong.
Better baby your Baby, 'cause if you don't
One day your baby'll be gone.

Don't let her get lonely, don't make her cry,
Don't take her for granted, don't tell her a lie.
Bring her red roses when she's blue.
Give her the best of what you've got to give,
You'll be together as long as you live,
Better baby your Baby, she'll baby you.

[Chorus]

"Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye"

"Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye"

What a rotten day this turned out to be.
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily.
She just got all her things, threw 'em into a pile,
Then she loaded her car and said after a while,
She'd done this before, but this time she didn't cry.

[Chorus:]
That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps,
Staring down the road, wond'rin' if she'll come back -
This time I don't know.
After she packed, when she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes,
And that's got me worried thinking
Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye.

All the times before she'd break down and cry.
She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye.
She just wanted me to hear what she had to say.
Now I'm lost for words, since she went away.
She may not return for this time she didn't cry.

[Chorus 2x]

"Back To Bein' Me"

"Back To Bein' Me"

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was
Before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time I like seeing what I see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who I was before I was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who I was
Before I was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' me

"Beautiful Day For Goodbye"

"Beautiful Day For Goodbye"

Isn't it like her to look so pretty like everything is alright
Like nobody cried all last night
Look at the sun, oh how it's shinin'
Almost a picture perfect day like nobody's goin' away

If it were just a little colder she might need me to hold her
Wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect, there's not a cloud in the sky
It ain't rainin' or snowin', there's no cold wind blowin'
It's a beautiful day for goodbye

Isn't it like me to wait 'til she's leavin' to know how I feel
I love her and I always will
In a second or a moment forever can change
So I'm standing here prayin' for rain

If it were just a little colder she might need me to hold her
Wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect, there's not a cloud in the sky
It ain't rainin' or snowin', there's no cold wind blowin'
It's a beautiful day for goodbye
Wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect, there's not a cloud in the sky
It's a beautiful day for goodbye

"Beyond The Blue Neon"

"Beyond The Blue Neon"

Swingin' doors sawdust floors
A heartache drowns as the whiskey pours
There's a hole in the wall from some free for all
The ringin' crack of that old cue ball
I've been fallin' in here for what seems like years
Where the tears and the lonely belong
And wonder what's going on beyond that blue neon

[Chorus:]
I hear tell there's people out there who don't know what losin' you means
They don't have a heart that just falls apart at the mention of your name
I heard they pretend the world didn't end
Right when I knew you were gone
I guess life still goes on beyond that blue neon

[Chorus]

But it's a quarter 'til two and I don't have a clue
As to what I'll do from now 'til dawn
I wonder what's going on beyond that blue neon
Lord, what's going on beyond that blue neon

"Big Ball's In Cowtown"

"Big Ball's In Cowtown"

Working on the railroad, sleeping on the ground,
Eating saltine crackers ten cents a pound.

[Chorus:]
Big ball's in cowtown - we'll all go down.
Big ball's in cowtown - we'll dance around.

(Ehhhh, come in momma, the hog's done got me).

I'll go to cowtown, I'll dance around.
Board up your windows - big ball's in town.

[Chorus]

Put on your new shoes, put on you gown.
Shake off them sad blues - big ball's in town.

[Chorus]

Everybody's smiling, you can't find a frown.
Girls are all happy 'cause big ball's in town.

[Chorus]

Big ball's in cowtown - we'll all go down.
Big ball's in cowtown, big ball's in town.

"Bigger Man Than Me"

"Bigger Man Than Me"

I never thought too much about her leavin'
I'd find someone there was no doubt
But this time the feelin' is strange and different
Since she's been gone there's one thing I found out

[Chorus:]
It takes a mighty man to live with lonesome
Some big men might live with misery
But there's one thing I know, for sure it's certain
It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me

I've never suffered much in the hurtin' line
I've always been as good as any man
But show me who can lose in love and like it
And I'll be the first to proudly shake his hand

[Chorus]

It's for sure it's gonna take a lot bigger man than me
