(Monty Holems/Barbie Isham)

Never again, again.
Once more I'll let you back in
I know how the story ends
But I can't help myself
You'll break my heart I know
Through my tears I watch you go
Then just like it's always been
I'll say never again, again

Each time you leave
I say I've had enough
But I must be addicted
To your kind of love
I swear to myself
I'm gonna stand my ground
But one look at you
Breaks my defenses down

And here comes never again, again
Once more I'll let you back in
And just like it's always been
I'll say never again, again

And just like it's always been

. . .


(Jamie O'Hara)

How will I ever know what you're feelin'
How will I ever know what to do
If you simply refuse to tell me
What's goin' on inside of you
Have a little faith in me
Baby can't you see
You've got to talk to me

How can I even know how to help you
How can I ever know what to say
If every time your heart is hurtin'
You turn from me and walk away
Have a little faith in me
Baby can't you see
You've got to talk to me

No you don't have to lie
Look into my eyes
There's nothin' here but love for you
You don't have to feel alone
Let me share the load
There's nothin' more I'd rather do

I'm the one you can always turn to
I'm the one who will stand by your side
My love for you is forever
You don't ever have to run away and hide
Have a little faith in me
Baby can't you see

. . .


(Maria Cannon/Gene Ellswirth/Chrlie Stefl)

You don't know me but I know who you are
Mind if I sit down
Do I look familiar if I don't well I should
I'm sure you've seen me around
I know you've probably heard my name
Though we've not been introduced
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

If you've got a minute I'll buy you a drink
I've got something to say
It might sound crazy but last night in his sleep
I heard him call out your name
This ain't the first time he's done it before
And it's hard to face the truth
I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

I know love is a fragile thing
And I'm trying hard to make it last
But it ain't easy holding on to my dream
When he's holding on to the past

Just one more thing before I go
I'm not here to put you down
You don't love him and that's a fact
Girl I've seen you around
But you hold his heart in the palm of your hand
And it's breaking mine in two
'Cause I'm the fool in love with the fool
Who's still in love with you

I'm the fool in love with the fool

. . .


(Jess Brown/Tony Lane/Brett Jones)

I had to leave my life in Dallas
That town will always be you
In every crowd, on every corner
In every face I'd see you
So with nothin' more than a tank of gas
I drove away without lookin' back
And I guess that's how I got where I am
And goin' anywhere as fast as I can

And I'm a little past Little Rock
Further down the line
Too soon to know what's up ahead
Too late to change my mind
I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel
I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels
It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue
Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do
I'm a little past Little Rock
But a long way from over you

These headlights on the highway
Disappear into the dark
And if I could have my way
I'd go back to where you are
Oh, but I can't turn this thing around
And nothing short of breaking down
Is gonna get me off this road I'm on
Oh, and I'm still a far cry from gone

And I'm a little past Little Rock
Further down the line
Too soon to know what's up ahead
Too late to change my mind
I gotta keep my heart out of this and both hands on the wheel
I'm learnin' more with every mile just how leavin' feels
It's a lonely stretch of blacktop out into the blue
Don't know where I'll go or what I'll do
I'm a little past Little Rock

. . .


(Jess Brown/David Lee/Tony Lane)

Better take a good look before I disappear
Because I'm just about to be your used-to-be
You might catch a glimpse of my taillights in the dust
And if you notice something missin', well it's me
'Cause I tried and you lied
I cried and you stood by
Well, here's a little magic thing I do

Now you see me, now you don't
First you do but then you won't
Watch me vanish right before your eyes
You might think you see me there
In a cafe on a street somewhere
Yeah, that might be me but I'll be gone
Now you see me, now you don't

If you ever get the feelin' that it feels like deja vu
Because some stranger feels like someone that you know
Might be the color of her lipstick or the smell of her perfume
That sends a shiver all the way down to your toes
Don't blink 'cause it ain't yeah what you think
It's just your heart playing tricks on you

Now you see me, now you don't
First you do but then you won't
Watch me vanish right before your eyes
You might think you see me there
In a cafe on a street somewhere
Yeah, that might be me but I'll be gone
Now you see me, now you don't

You might think you see me there
In a cafe on a street somewhere
Yeah, that might be me, but I'll be gone
Now you see me, now you don't

Now you see me, now you don't
Now you see me, now you don't

(Jason Sellers/Lee Ann Womack)

Well, I'm sure Fort Worth has seen it's share of heartached
But it's plain to see your heart's not broken now
You're in love with someone new and up on top of the world
You say you've seen the last of the lonely side of town

But if you're ever down in Dallas, darlin'
Wonderin' what to do
Just call on me, 'cause I've been there too
Maybe I could help
"Cause I know so well how it hurts to lose at love
If you're ever down in Dallas, look me up

Well, I gave up on our love and left you cryin'
But there's times we all make choices that we regret
So if you wind up lonely 'cause you've made the same mistake
I can take you all the places a fool goes to forget

But if you're ever down in Dallas, darlin'
Wonderin' what to do
Just call on me, 'cause I've been there too
Maybe I could help
"Cause I know so well how it hurts to lose at love
If you're ever down in Dallas, look me up


. . .



I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along

This mornin is Monday
Where are you now?
Teasin my memory
Tellin me how
To lay low when I don't want to
Your love is elusive
This I know now
It's makin me crazy
Leavin me out in the open
When I don't want to

Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more than I've already been
Just like a wildfire, you're runnin all over town
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

The moments of pleasure
Never do last
They're gone like a suitcase
Full of your past
Long gone
And in a hurry

Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more than I've already been
Just like a wildfire, you're runnin all over town
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

You're runnin all over town
As much as you burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

Just like a wildfire, you're runnin all over town
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ashes by now)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ashes by now)

It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
And it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

Ooh, why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin

. . .


(Brett Beavers/Tom Douglas)

Hey Mona Lisa, who was Leonardo
Was he Andy Warhol
Were you Marilyn Monroe

Hey Mozart, what kind of name is Amadeus
It's kinda like Elvis
You gotta die to be famous

I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never hold the brush
That paints a masterpiece
I'll probably never find the pen
That writes a symphony
But if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey Midas, they say you had the magic touch
But even all that shiny stuff
Someday's gonna turn to dust

Hey Jesus, must have been some Sunday morning
In a blaze of glory
We're still telling your story

I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never dream a dream and watch it turn to gold
I know I'll never lose my life to save another soul
But if I will love then I will find
I have touched another life and that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey baby, see the future that we're building
Our lives live on
In the lives of our children

. . .


from "The Great Divide"
(with Willie Nelson)
(Bernie Taupin/Matt Serletic)

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing they were rockets bursting into the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away
Our orchestrated paradise couldn't make you stay
You dance with the horses through the sands of time
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino County Line

I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

The two of us together felt nothin' but right
Feeling you near immortal every Friday night
Lost in our convictions left stained with wine
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remain me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

I don't talk to you too much these days
I just thank the lord pictures don't fade
I spent time with an angel just passing through
Now all that's left is this image of you

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

. . .


(Buddy Miller/Julie Miller)

When I gave you my heart
It was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger
Did my love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?

I remember your words and I can't keep from cryin
I could never believe that your kisses were lyin
Was there somethin from the past
Buried in a shallow grave?
Did you think that it was too far gone to save?

Please tell me baby
Please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me how

Now it's just me and the night and I'm so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark here for my dearly departed
Did my ring burn your finger?
Did my love weigh you down?

. . .



You got a great apartment and a real nice car
The job you always wanted, you're ganna go far
You got everything you need in this world, but you got the wrong girl
Everybody's lookin' cause she looks so hot
You don't know it yet, but I know what you got
Go ahead and give it a whirl but you got the wrong girl
If you're lookin for love, you're lookin to hard
You can't see that what you need is right in your back yard
You were blinded by diamonds and you missed a pearl
Yea you got the wrong girl
Does she like fishin, four wheelin in the woods?
Does she get her hands greasy up under neith the hood?
I bet she never listens to Merle
Yea you got the wrong girl
If you're lookin for love, you're lookin to hard
you can't see that what you need is right in your back yard
You were blinded by diamonds and you missed a pearl
You got the wrong girl
Yea you got the wrong girl
Yea you got the wrong girl

. . .



Well it's gettin' late now baby
I really should be gettin' home
If it feels like I've been here to long,
Must be time for me to go
How can we be here together
And still be so alone
If you dont feel the way I do by now
It must be time for me to go
You know I don't really wanna leave
Baby there's no place I'd rather be
Holdin' on but I'm afraid,
But I'm runnin' out of reasons to stay
Well it's gettin' late now baby
And the wind is blowin' cold
If there's nothin' left for us to say
