"Give Me More Time"

"Give Me More Time"


A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line
It ain't rained and all the crops are dying vine
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years
We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears
Give me more time
I need more time

O what would he give for a little more time?

Two lovers at a table, candle, light and wine
One's looking for an answer, the other one can't find
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind
Afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't amke up my mind
Give me more time
I gotta have more time

Some have barely any, some too much on their hands
Some would give anything to have it back again

The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors
You're kiddin' me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four
Give me more time
You gotta give me more time

Give me more time

"Go On"

"Go On"


I'm so sorry, I keep interrupting, what were you gonna say?
You caught him cheatin', I don't blame you for walkin' away.
I know where you're comin' from, it sounds like where I've been
Oh, there I go interrupting your story once again

[Chorus:]
Go on, go on, you were sayin' how a fool can only fool you so long
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else you can do but go on.

Our conversation won't change nothin', but it's sure nice to talk
With somebody who's been cut out of the same ol' cloth
You know how you said happiness can't be found lookin' back
If you don't mind, maybe we can talk a little more about that.

[Chorus:]
Go on, go on, you were sayin' this is better than sittin' at home
It's true, it's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on...

Bridge:
Even when you see no reason to
Don't wait to live life 'cause it won't wait for you

[Chorus:]
Go on, please go on, you were sayin' what don't kill us only makes us strong
It's true, that's so true when they do you like that
What else can you do but go on.

Just go on.
Life goes on... and on.

"Gone As A Girl Can Get"

"Gone As A Girl Can Get"


Well I haven't seen her lately, and she never calls.
She don't ask my friends about me, gives no clues at all.
Well the fire might still be burnin' yeah,
But I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get.

She don't even show up in my dreams at night,
But my stubborn ol' memory keeps holdin' on tight.
Sure makes it hard to forget
She's about as gone as a girl can get.

[Chorus:]
She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace.
More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face.
Her destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight,
Last seen headin' right on out of my life.
Like a stranger I ain't never met,
She's about as gone as a girl can get,

[Chorus]

Like a stranger I ain't never met,
I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get.

"Good News, Bad News"

"Good News, Bad News"


I've got some good news, can't wait to tell you.
I realised I missed you, since we've been apart.
I just needed time,
To make up my mind,
But I'm in love with you with all my heart.
I've got some good news.

I got some bad news, I don't know how to break to you.
I found someone new since we been apart.
I had too much time,
An' he took you off my mind,
An' I'm in love with him with all of my heart.
I got some bad news.

[Instrumental break]

An' I guess all is fair in love an' war...
Someone wins,
But someone wins more.
You never know what time will do.
All I know is I've got some good news.
I've got some bad news.

"Good Time Charley's"

"Good Time Charley's"


Oh I know a place called Good Time Charley's
A little four piece band swingin' out of sight
And I'll be here if you want to party
From nine in the morning 'til twelve at night

Two miles from town 'cross the railroad track
Turn right at the light and park in the back
You're always welcome don't forget to drop in
Old Charley done time two years in the pen

Well the beat goes on there's a hardwood floor
And the sound of laughter runnin' out the door
Wall to wall women plenty of ice-cold beer
And thing you're after you can find it here

Two miles from town 'cross the railroad track
Turn right at the light and park in the back
You're always welcome don't forget to drop in
Old Charley done time two years in the pen

"Haven't You Heard"

"Haven't You Heard"


Haven't you heard
Haven't you heard
Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard momma is gone
Here I stand with my finger on his door bell
My mind goes back to what I did last night,

You see I finally talked his wife into leaving him
And I am just here to convince my conscious that its all alright
And I can see my old friend just sitting there staring at his little boy
Crying words are welded in my mind,

Haven't you heard
Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard momma is gone

And either way I'm a loser
And I've been crying all night long
Mr. haven't you heard
Daddy's gone crazy
Haven't you heard momma is gone
And either way I'm a loser
And I've been crying all night long
Mr. haven't you heard.

"He Must Have Really Hurt You Bad"

"He Must Have Really Hurt You Bad"


You put your best red dress on
And came here tonight all alone
He must have really hurt you bad

Ordered up a double Coke and rum
And hope it'll turn into fun
He must have really hurt you bad

I don't know your story but it ain't hard to see
You've got a heart that's broken as a heart can be
It's probably not like you at all
To mix loneliness and alcohol
He must have really hurt you bad

Now it's 1am and here you are
With some stranger at the bar
He must have really hurt you bad

Across town in some motel room
He'll try to heal your past
While the one that's lying next to you is
Only there for laughs
He must have really hurt you bad

Now, I'm the Joe that sees you up then cuts you off
And calls a cab when you need me to
And I'd like to say that only once in a while
I see someone goin' what you're goin' through

Well, I need the tips, but I'll be all right
If I don't see you tomorrow night
Stay home girl
He must have really hurt you bad

He must have really hurt you bad

"He's Got That Something Special"

"He's Got That Something Special"


I used to be the one who
She was always holding onto
Like a fool I told her way too tight

He was glad to see me let go
He's all I see now in her eyes
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine

She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine

Never knew how good I had it
Never do till you don't have it
I'd give anything to have her back

It hurts me to admit that
He's got what I never knew I had
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine

She sees more in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks he's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine

He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine

"Heartbroke"

"Heartbroke"


Now who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes
Or the bitter direction of impending good-byes
I've followed and folded, I'm wilted in place
At the sight of you standing with streaks down your face

With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke

Now pride is a drag and a bore when you're lonely
Sheer madness prevails upon reason to you
But all is not lost, it's only mistaken
That's small consolation but I know just how you feel

With your heart broke and running from the reason
You got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke , who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke

Nobody said it was going to be easy
We all have feelings that need a softer touch
But nobody said that it would not be worth it
The human condition continues as such

With your heart broke and running from the reason
You've got your heart broke, don't give up on believing in me
Heart broke, who kept me from leaving?
With my heart broke, you've got me heart broke

"Heartland"

"Heartland"


When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar,
You're listening to the sound of the American heart.
And Opry music on a Saturday night
Brings a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.

[Chorus:]
Sing a song about the heartland,
The only place I feel at home.
Sing about the way a good man
Works until the daylight's gone.
Sing the rain on the roof on a summer night
Where they still know wrong from right.
Sing a song about the heartland.
Sing a song about my life.

[Chorus]

There's a place where mornings are an endless blue
And you feel mother nature walk along with you,
Where simple people living side by side
Still wave to their neighbor when they're drivin' by.

[Chorus]
