(Steven Dale Jones)

One out of two ain't gonna make it
Those are the odds these days
And in a world of statistics
He's left tryin' to survive
'Til every other Friday at five

He counts the days and then the hours
'Til he can hold his babies in his arms
And they'll be watchin' out the window
When he pulls up in the drive
On every other Friday at five

(Wynn Varble/Leslie Satcher)

I've seen mornings when a thousand bales of hay
Looked like a mountain to a boy my age
And I've seen my daddy in that hot southern sun
Move those mountains one by one

And I've seen that same man come home from the mill
Pull forty hours for a hundred-dollar bill
I've watched him struggle and I've watched him age
Raising a family on a working man's wage

(Jim Rushing/Monty Criswell)

You say his memory is a habit that won't let you go I'll help you kick it
If you're looking for a ride on a real smooth road I'm your ticket
If you're holding onto seeds you been wanting to sow
If you wanna break ground, I'll break out the hoe
If you want a little garden where some lovin' can grow
I can dig it

(Roger Brown/Tommy Conners)

See that boy standing there by the dance floor
He's lookin' like the Marlboro Man
Starched shirt, starched jeans, big trophy buckle
And an empty Copenhagen can
He's talkin' cowboy this and cowboy that
Well I'll bet one thing's for sure
The only stampede that he's ever seen
Is the clearance at the western store

All hat and no cattle, that boy just ain't real

(Trace Adkins/Kenny Beard/Sarah Majors)

He lost his job that mornin' stopped off and bought a fifth of pride
A reality eraser, a little taste to help face her that night
He broke his same ol' promise when he showed up with whiskey on his breath
That night he can't remember, the one that she can't forget

Now he's been clean and sober since twenty-three October '95

(Michael P. Heeney/Casey Beathard/Michael White)

It's a song on the radio
It's your picture on the wall in my bedroom
It's any one of a million memories
Girl, everything takes me back but you

It's every place that we've ever been
It's running into someone we both knew
Or it's the face of a total stranger
Girl, everything takes me back but you

(Del Gray/Thom McHugh)

If anybody had told me that anybody'd have a hold on me
I'd say they were out of their mind
But speakin' of crazy, I'm findin' lately
All I want, all I need, all the time is

More of your sweet love
Too much just ain't enough
I never needed a fix like this before
Too strong to resist
I don't know when to quit
Like a kid in a candy store

(Mark D. Sanders/Tim Johnson)

Darlin' here's a photograph of my old high school class
No I ain't been back in quite a while
See there that's Emma Lou, the one I gave my heart to
But there's a story you can't see behind her smile
It was gonna last forever, we were gonna see the world
So I guess you're curious just what became of her, well

She's still there in Oklahoma

(Stephony Smith/Aimee Mayo/Jive)

Is this wrong or is this real
Should I deny the way I feel
Every time I get close to you
Feels like I'm doin' somethin'
I'm not supposed to

Can I want your love
Would it be ok
I wonder what you would say
If I kissed your lips
Would it shock your heart
Or do you want to go that far
Can I want your love

Do I dare cross this line

(Dean Miller/Stacy Dean Campbell)

Go ahead and tell me that you never really loved me, baby
Go ahead and tell me that the things I do have always made you crazy
Don't worry, darling
Don't worry, darling, that's okay
'Cause I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway

Go ahead and let it fall to pieces, tell me I've been blind

(Darrell Scott)

I am grounded
But I have wings to fly
I just don't use them
I just look up in the sky
And keep 'em hidden
Bound up in a coat and tie
'Til the world is ready for a man with wings to fly

But I will fly someday
I'll break these feet of clay
Then I'll be on my way
My way

I am feeling
Though I do not shed a tear
My eyes are dusty
Though I have faced my fear of fears

(Frank Rogers/Chet Biggers)

That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Laying on your bag out in the hall.
You're takin' it to remind you of our better days...
The one's you say you'll miss when you're gone.

Don't lie...don't try to fool me...
Cause girl I know what's goin' on.
Don't lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
