Wynonna Album

Words and Music by Brendon Croker

I wanna walk
To no particular destination
I wanna talk
When I got the inclination
I wanna move
When I got the locomotion
I'm gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face

I wanna drive my car
Wherever they're driving faster
I wanna sail the ship
As long as I can be the master
I wanna ride the rails
On my own roller coaster
I'm gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face

(Chorus)

I was born to be this way
Never save for a rainy day
I just like to make it my own way
I wanna be the first to say

Don't wanna work real hard
If it means that I ain't livin'
Don't wanna go through life
If there's no room for gettin'
Don't wanna stand here long
If it just means I'm a waiting
I'm gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face

(Repeat Chorus)

Don't wanna change my ways
If there ain't no good reason
Don't wanna change my mind
Without any rhyme or reason
Don't wanna be one way
I got to change like a season
I'm gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
I'm gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face

Words and Music by Dave Loggins

Billy was a small town loner
Who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern Arizona
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladder
He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will

He met Miss Bonnie
And a little bit of her was a little too much
A few movies and a few months latter
The feeling got strong enough
They didn't own a car
So it must have been love
That drove him uptown for a diamond
That's when he started goin'

(Chorus)

Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted
'Cause without her where would he be?
See, it's not for him
She is his only need

Ring on her finger and one on the ladder
A new promotion every now and then
Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
And my, how the time did fly
The babies grew up and moved away
Left 'em sitting on the front porch rocking
And Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray

And ev'ry once in a while you could see him get up
And he'd head downtown
'Cause he heard about something she wanted
And it just had to be found
Didn't matter how simple or how much
It was love
And, boy, ain't that love just something
When it's strong enough to keep a man goin'

(Repeat Chorus)

Over the line
Working overtime
She is his only need
His only need
Overboard
Over the limit
Just for her
She is his only need
His only need

Words and Music by Lisa Angelle and Andrew Gold

I laid a red rose
On your front porch
Wrote I love you
On a note
I rang the door bell
And turned to go
Baby when the curtains moved
I couldn't believe the view

(Chorus)

I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holding each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight

So take your cheatin' hands
Off my red dress
'Cause I ain't wearin'
This thing for you
I see you clearly now
And your lies too
They say that love is blind
Baby not this time

(Repeat chorus)

Why baby why, should I listen to you?
I cried, baby, cried, now I'm walking out the door

They say that love is blind, baby, not this time

(Repeat chorus)

Words and Music by Naomi Judd and Mike Reid

The keeper of the gates of wisdom
Please let me in
'Cause I just can't go through
Another heartache again
Pretty lies and alibis
How could I be so blind?
Now I'm all alone and scared to stay
Slowly going out of my mind

(Chorus)

He was my strongest weakness
I surrendered heart and soul
It's gonna be a long, long time
'Til I regain control
I'm still a prisoner
Held captive by his memory
He was my strongest weakness
And I'm afraid he'll always be

I gave my faithful heart to someone
I couldn't understand
How he held my little world
In the palm of his hand
Now he's gone and life goes on
So if this pain will ever end
Will I be afraid to risk it all
Ever fall in love again?

(Repeat Chorus)

Words and Music by Emory Gordy Jr. and Joe Henry

When I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
And bid farewell to one more day

Every light begins with darkness
Every flower is once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released

I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way

We have hands to hold our sorrow
We have tears to heal the pain
And though your eyes ask many questions
On your lips I hear my name

I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
But when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
I will surely know my way

Words and Music by Sam Lorber, Stewart Harris and Jill Colucci

I've been a rock and I've got my fences
I never let them down
When it comes to love, I keep my senses
I don't get kicked around
I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now I'm out of control
How did you get to me?

(Chorus)

No one else on earth could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth was ever worth it
No one can love me like
No one can love me like you

You can make me want you any time you want to
You're burnin' me alive
I can't deny you even when I catch you
Weavin' a weak alibi
'Cause when the night falls you make me forget
Your love is killing me and it ain't over yet
How did you get to me?

(Repeat Chorus)

I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now I'm out of control
How did you get to me?

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Words and Music by Bernie Nelson and Allen Shamblin

Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waits as her tears kick up the dust
It's never easy to say goodbye

Julie Ray in her pearl white wedding gown
Has found her wings and it's time to fly
It's all her dad can do to keep from breakin' down
It's never easy to say goodbye

(Chorus)

It ain't easy
To ever say goodbye
It ain't easy
Lettin' go of the ones you love
But believe me
Begin by and by
If not here
Than somewhere up above

I've had some friends that I lost along the way
They've been called on down the line
Though their time was short, I think about them every day
And it ain't easy to say goodbye

(Repeat Chorus)

Now the time has come to go our separate ways
And it's all right if you want to cry
And though I know, we'll meet again someday
It's never easy to say goodbye

(Repeat Chorus)

Words and Music by Kostas and Marty Stuart

Got a wishbone in my pocket and money to burn
I ain't got no worries ain't got no concerns
The feeling's goin' through me from my fingers to my toes
'Cause my baby loves me he let's ev'ry body know

(Chorus)

A little bit of love
Goes a long, long way
A little bit of love
Gets you through the day, yeah
A little bit of love
Makes you feel alright
Gets you through the night

Now let me tell you, my heart's so busy jumpin' that it skips a beat
Got me runnin' round in circles, dancin' in the street
Now, you might think I'm crazy, I don't care
I'm a girl about the town and I'm walking on air

(Repeat Chorus)

You got me shakin' down to my knees
Baby don't you stop, I'm beggin' please, please, please

(repeat chorus)

Words and Music by Lynn Langham Sharon Rose Higgins and Kris Bergsnes

I can see a cotton field
An old man working in the mill
I can see loadin' the trunk of my old blue Oldsmobile
I see the tears in my mama's eyes
When she kissed her baby goodbye
I can still feel all of that love from here

(Chorus)

I can see the cotton sheets
They're swingin' in the wind, out swingin' in the wind
I close my eyes and my mind flies
And I'm right back home again
I'm right back home and
I can get lost while I'm chasing my dreams
I find my way 'cause my heart has wings
And I can still feel all of that love from here

I was raised on love's foundation
The Rock of Ages goes unshaken
The faith and hope that was given to me is stronger than the blackjack tree
My mama taught me how to stand alone
She let me go but she still holds on
And I can still feel all of that love from here

(Repeat Chorus)

Words and Music by Paul Kennerley

Seen a lot of trouble
At my door
I've never known a day when
I ain't been poor
But I'm gonna live
With Jesus in the end

Hard times
Is all I see
I've lost the ones
That are dear to me
But I'm gonna live
With Jesus in the end

(Chorus)

I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With Jesus in the end

These poor bones
Are tired and old
Meeting my savior
Redeem my soul
'Cause I'm gonna live
With Jesus

I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With Jesus
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With Jesus in the end
