"Every Time Two Fools Collide"
(with Dottie West)

"Every Time Two Fools Collide"
(with Dottie West)



You want things your way
And I want these mine
And now we don't know
Just where you draw the line
How can love survive
If we keep cheers and sights
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

You lay the blame on me
And I put the blame on you
But why do we keep finding faults
In everything you do
And how long can we keep right in wrongs
So cut and cry
And who picks up the pieces
Every time two fools collide

We can save our love
We still have the time
Oh, I know there must be a way
But we still haven't tried
To keep our hearts from breaking
Every time two fools collide

"Eyes That See In The Dark"

"Eyes That See In The Dark"



You're not meant to be alone
I'll share your dream
I'll show you love you've never known
Two flames together in the deep of the night
I'm up in your love.

Close by you when you call
I'll take my stand
One chance to make or lost it all
This time my journey to wherever you are
I sail on your river so far my love we'll never be found
If you believe.

We got eyes that see in the dark
And the power of love lives for making you mine
And in the light of close investigation
Is it only my imagination
I got you.

Moonlight shining on your face
My bridges burned
With all my tears that you replaced
Two hearts together is a beautiful sight
I'll take you to heaven so far my love will follow you there
If we believe.

We got eyes that see in the dark
And the power of love lives for making you mine
Am I the light of someone you need more of
Let me be that love you can be sure of
Is it only my imagination
I got you.

Like the eagle that flies in the sun
I'll be lost in your fire before we are done
And the view from my window is brighter
Born to be all you need.

We got eyes that see in the dark
And the power of love lives for making you mine
Am I the light of someone you need more of
Let me be that love you can be sure of
Is it only my imagination
I got you...

"Farther I Go"

"Farther I Go"



I took a boat, I took a plane
Halfway around the world on a train
New York to Orleans, Japan to Tibet
But the farther I go, the closer you get
And I can't get you out of my mind
All these years to forget, all these miles in jet
But the farther I go, the closer you get.

I took some dreams, I can't damp some dust
I damned your name, I cried and I cursed
I run to the ends of the earth to forget
But the farther I go, the closer you get.

I found a friend, I took her home
I took her upstairs, disconnected the phone
We got warmer and warmer
Been blazing hot
But the farther we went, the closer you got
And I can even make love anymore.

All these years to forget...

"Fightin' Fire With Fire"

"Fightin' Fire With Fire"



You came here on purpose, in front of me, Diana
To be seen with some other man
You're wanting me to watch him, enjoy the freedom
You're letting him take with his hands.

Did you tell or must I tell him, Diana
Does it matter to that kind of man?
Any place he touches or kisses, Diana
Is some place I've already been.

You know you're fighting fire with fire
Over something that broke us apart
At least I was hiding and trying, Diana
To keep it from breaking your heart.

You must've been crazy, for taking advantage
Of the fact that you weren't around
But she was so soft and pretty
And she made a promise, never to utter a sound.

Can you tell or must I tell you, Diana
It's a heart burning hell that I'm in
And any place he touches or kisses, Diana
I'd gladly crawl back there again.

You know you're fighting fire with fire
Over something that broke us apart
At least I was hiding and trying, Diana
To keep it from breaking your heart...

"Find A Little Grace"

"Find A Little Grace"


I've put too many miles on the soles of my shoes
Running from place to place
Now it's time to stop and put down some roots
And find a little grace
I've danced with the devil beneath a pale moon
Confronted him face to face
Now I'm gonna dance to a different tune
And find a little grace

[Chorus:]

I've been too long at a fool's game
And it's about taken it's toll
I've paid a high price for small change
But it's not worth the price of my soul
I must admit, it's taken some time
To tame my restless ways
Now I'm gonna leave those struggles behind
And find a little grace

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Last Verse]

I'm gonna walk where the light always shines
And find a little grace

"For The Good Times"

"For The Good Times"



Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on
And this old world just keeps on turning

Let's just be glad, we had this time
To spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
That were burning.

Lay your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body next to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Beating soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.

I get along you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find
You ever need me.

Don't say a word
About tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough
For sadness when you leave.

Lay your head on my pillow

"For The Love Of God"

"For The Love Of God"



I could follow Him, I could pledge my faith
Bound by duty I could honor and obey
But the love I found is compelling me
To serve Him from a heart that's been redeemed

I would give my all, everything I've got
To the highest call, for the Love of God
Every day I live, I'd give no matter what
I will do it all, for the love of God

May I never serve from a heart of fear
Thinking only that the end is drawing near
Oh but Lord I pray, that in all I do
I'll be driven only by what pleases You

I would give my all, everything I've got
To the highest call, for the Love of God
Every day I live, I'd give no matter what
I will do it all, for the love of God

No greater motivation, there is no higher cause
My one and only reason remains the love of God

I would give my all, everything I've got
To the highest call, for the Love of God
Every day I live, I'd give no matter what
I will do it all, for the love of God

"Ghost Of Another Man"

"Ghost Of Another Man"



He's living in that big old house that he knows was built by me
He's playing with the baby that belongs to her and me.
At night he loves a woman that was held by these two hands
He must be leaving hell to live with a ghost of another man.
My name is in the side wall outside our bedroom door
He can't help but see what's too dare in me everywhere he goes.
He gladly walked through heaven to forget what he can't stand
He must be leaving hell to live with a ghost of another man.
I don't mean to haunt him when they turn out the lights
I'm there in the bedroom with both of them each night.
And he wonders if he just loved her
As good as I loved her back then
He must be leaving hell to live
With a ghost of another man.

"Gideon Tanner"

"Gideon Tanner"



I've been riding all night just to get here
Don't you be throwing us out so soon
Across the whole damn South with cotton-mouth
Now we got some drinking to do.

We've been stuck on the range for 45 days
And that's a long long time
We ain't leaving this place 'til there's a smile on our face
And the whole room is a friend of mine.

So won't you line 'em all up and slide 'em all down
And let's hear the jukebox roll
We've been living on bacon and beans
Playing the jacks and the queens.

But we still got some money to blow
And the times ain't wild enough
We dig our spurs in the make them jump
We're riding shotgun with the devil
We're the buckaroos.

My name is Gideon Tanner
I've been a man of good manners
I won't dance 'til the ladies ask me
I simply tip my hat, I smile and sit back
And then I wait for that friendly stampede.

I started dancing so tight that this girl turned white
I thought she must be passing away
I said: now don't let me down, 'Cause when I hit this town
I've got to live my whole life in a day.

So won't you line 'em all up and slide 'em all down
And let's hear the jukebox roll
We've been living on bacon and beans
Playing the jacks and the queens...

"Goin' Back To Alabama"

"Goin' Back To Alabama"



Goin' back to alabama...
Now that I've learned a thing or two
Life for me had been so easy
But I've got some livin' yet to do

'cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again
My friend...

Some days I didn't wanna wake up in the mornin'
My family and friends were all down on me
I tried to tell 'em where I was goin'
But they never saw the man I saw in me

Some folks call me a dreamer
Other folks laughed and called me a fool
All I ever wanted to be was a winner
'cause I know a winner can never lose

'cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again

'cause a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again
My friend...

Yes a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
(pick himself up)
And dust himself off
(dust himself off)
(and)
Start all over again

I'm a man
I'm a man
(I'm a man)

You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again

You know a man who walks by the side of the road
Can turn himself around
He can pick himself up
And dust himself off
And start all over again...
