We Don't Have To Do This

We Don't Have To Do This


If anyone had told me things would get this far
I'd have told them they were crazy, yet, here we are
Pride can be our enemy we both know the cost
So tell me if you're having second thoughts

We don't have to do this
It's not carved in stone
Or are we so lost we can't find
Our way back home?

Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds?
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye

Years should count for something
Tears can't be in vain
To let this go so easy would be a shame

We don't have to do this
It's not carved in stone
Or are we so lost that we can't find
Our way back home?

Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds?
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye

If leaving is the answer
Why does this feel so bad?
Should we really walk away
From everything we had?

Tell me where's it written
That we can't change our minds? No
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye
We don't have to do this
We don't have to say goodbye

What Do They Know

What Do They Know


They say that life goes on
I'll find true love again
It's not the end of the world
One day my heart will mend

Someone will come along and a new love will grow
Thats what they say but what do they know
How could they know the pain I feel inside my heart
They never lost your love

So who do they think they are
They never held you, or had to let you go
Well, they're not trying to live without you
So what do they know

They say all is fair in love
But for me that's just not true
I feel like someone took a knife
And cut my life in two

It's better to have love and lost
Than to have never loved, I'm told
At least that's what they say
But what do they know
Well, they're not trying to live without you
So what do they know

What If We Were Running Out Of Love

What If We Were Running Out Of Love


Everybody's wonderin' how this world will get around
Now that we're all runnin' out of gas
But me, I'm kinda happy that this world is slowin' down
Seems to me we were movin' much too fast

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that won't stop this world from goin' round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin' out of love?

Now everybody's thinkin' that this world will fall apart
If we ain't got no fuel to feed the flame
What if we all lost the love we used to fill our hearts
Seems to me life wouldn't be the same

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down

But that won't stop this world from goin' round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin' out of love?

Now everybody's wonderin' just how cold it's gonna get
And how they're gonna keep each other warm
The simplest solution to the problem I've seen yet
Is cuddle up with someone in your arms

Now folks are gonna have to slow it down
But that won't stop this world from goin' round
Well I could think of a whole lot worse of things to be out of
What if we were runnin' out of love?

What It Did To Me

What It Did To Me


I saw you tonight,
In her arms so tight.
I watched as she held you tenderly.
You say when she held you
It did nothing to you,
But ohh what it did to me.

You say when she kissed you,
You didn't feel a thing,
Well I felt enough for all three.
You want me to believe,
It did nothing to you,
But ohh what it did to me.

And I felt the warm tears roll slowly down my face.
As I watched another slowly take my place.

And now it's all over,
You want me to forget.
And pretend that things are like they used to be.
That it was just a kiss
That did nothing to you,
But ohh what it did to me.

You want me to believe
It did nothing to you,
But ohh what it did to me, to me.

What Your Love Does For Me

What Your Love Does For Me


I was givin' up on givin' love another try
But you were easy on the heart
And easy on the eye

Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it if I'd been told
I'd have my very own angel to hold
Like a warm blanket I can wrap around my soul

You're good lookin'
You're good luck
You make me feel like a million bucks

That's what your love does for me
Like a child, a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me

You took my outlook and you sure shook it up
With a little bit of sweetness
From your lovin' cup

What was once half empty is now half full
Now I'm an optimist, baby, dyed in the wool
Ever since you gave my lonely heart strings a pull

You're good lookin'
You're good luck
You make me feel like a million bucks

That's what your love does for me
Like a child, a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me

You set the mood
You set me free
Like a prisoner with my own jail key
That's what your love does for me

Like a new dime
Don't I shine
Feels like every day with you is spring time
That's what your love does for me

Feel like a child
I'm a little wild
And like everything I do is in style
That's what your love does for me
That's what your love does
That's what your love does for me

What's Your Mama's Name

What's Your Mama's Name


What's your mama's name child
What's your mama's name

Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
Asking 'bout a rose that use to blossom in his world
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
Until one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl

What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name

Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis
Lost a month of life and labored to the county jail
Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
And offered her a nickels worth of candy if she'd tell

A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis
Just another wayward soul the county had to claim
Inside the old mans ragged coat they found a faded letter
It said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green

What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name
Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans
Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
What's your mama's name child What's your mama's name

What's your mama's name child
What's your mama's name

Why Me Lord?

Why Me Lord?


Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown.

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you.

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

Wine Me Up

Wine Me Up


I'm the center of attention in this bar room
'Cause I've got the biggest heartache of the year
And each night those swingin' doors reach out to me and draw me in
'Cause they know each night that I'll come back to wine me up again

Wine me up, turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinkin' warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight I'll wine me up 'til I waltz in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again

I'd like to thank the men who raise the grapes way out in California
And I'm hopin' this will be their biggest year
'Cause scarlet waters all that's left to keep me hangin' on
And that's why I'll try to wine me up each day and night next year

Wine me up, turn me on and watch me cry for you
Lately drinkin' warm red wine is all I wanna do
And I never know how tight I'll wine me up 'til I waltz in
But I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again
I don't care 'cause I'll be back to wine me up again

Wishin' It All Away

Wishin' It All Away


She don't want for nothin'
'Cause he buys her everything
But the one thing he don't give her
Is the love that she needs
She cries on pillows made of lace
Dreamin' of some other place

She's got a half a mind to run from him
But she knows she'd be back again
She's got everything that a girl could want
But she needs more and she can't stop

Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away

Looking out the window
There goes another falling star
And those diamonds on her fingers
Don't do nothing for her heart
She thought that there'd be so much more
Is this what she settled for?

She's got a half a mind to run from him
But she knows she'd be back again, oh yeah
She's got everything that a girl could want
But she needs more and she can't stop

Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away

If she didn't have to go through leavin'
If it could all just disappear
Then she could start all over
And be out of here, oh yeah

She's got a half a mind to run from him
But she knows she'd be back again, oh yeah
She's got everything that a girl could want
But she needs more and she can't stop

Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away
Wishin' it all away, oh yeah

If she didn't have to go through leavin'
She'd be outta here
Oh yeah, wishin' it all away

Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)

Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)


Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
If my needs were strong
Would you lay with me

Should my lips grow dry
Would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour
If my lips were dry

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hands
If I give myself to you

Will you bathe with me
In the stream of life
When the moon is full
Will you bathe with me

Will you still love me
When I'm down and out
In my time of trial
Will you stand by me

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hands
If I give myself to you

(cannoned)
Would you lay with me
In a field of stone
Should my lips grow dry
Would you wet them dear
Would you bathe with me
In the stream of life
Would you still love me
When I'm down and out
