Ants on a log
Floatin' down a river
Runnin' around
But not gettin' anywhere

Our steerin' wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

I got an uncle
He plays a game
he can't win it
He's got a mold
Tries to fit everybody else in it

(Randy Travis/Buck Moore/Eddie Lee)

Many nights, I've stood here by this window
Wondering if I'd always be alone
No one here to share this lonely bedroom
But that was long before she came along

Heaven only knows she's not an angel
But I was blessed the day she came to me
And when I close my eyes and lay beside her
I'll swear I can almost hear her wings

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
All but two hours of pushin' brooms
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found

(Randy Travis/ Ron Avis)

It's the last thing I needed
On a star-filled night
The one who broke my heart
Comin into sight
Walkin hand-in-hand with the one who holds her now
I feel the hurt returning and if only somehow

I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain
Oh, Lord
So she won't see
What she's doing to me
Come on, now, sky
Be a friend to these eyes
And I know that I

(Bobby Carmichael/ Tony Stampley/Joe Stampley)

I got up this morning tried to get off of work
I couldn't even find not one clean shirt
There was no hot water when I jumped in the shower
I know my boss is gonna dock me an hour
The older I get the more I discover
If it ain't one thing it's another

I got the car, I tried to get motivated

(Mark Knopfler)

It wasn't just the music
It wasn't just the wine
Some other kind of magic
Sending shivers up my spine
And I was falling
And I fell for you and how
Darling, are we in trouble now?

They say we're grown up
We've been searching all this time
And I wouldn't own up
Never would admit to flying blind
But in the darkness
We found each other anyhow

(Verlon Thompson/Mark D. Sanders)

Well, I pray I'm wrong
But I feel you stealin away from me
Your heart's a-beatin to a chain-gang song
Well, you just can't help it if you got be a thief

And steal the thunder from the sky
The water from the river
You can have the winter wind
It only makes me shiver
Take the snow off of the moutain
The wave off of the sea

(Randy Travis/John Lindley)

I didn't come in here to fight
I didn't come to ruin your night
I came to see the future mister me
I didn't come to mess things up
I only want to wish you luck
And shake the hand of the future mister me

I only want a chance
To see the man who'll be the man to please my baby
The one who'll lay beside you
And hold you just the way I used to do

(Mark Winchester)

Would I
Would I
Would I

Would I go out honky tonkin' with you ever night
Dance every dance til I got them all right
Would I do every step the way you thought I should?
If I had you baby maybe yes I would
Would I

Would I wake up every morning,
bring you breakfast in bed
With the right amount of butter on your toasted bread

(Bob McDill/Dickie Lee/Bucky Jones)

I'll bet that you're surpised to see me
Wonder what I'm doing at your door
But you can't be more surprised than I am
I thought I didn't need you anymore
Thought there was something waiting out there
Something I wanted but now it's so clear

Baby it's a cold, cold world
Out here tonight
It's nothing at all like I thought I'd find

(Craig Wiseman/Trey Bruce)

I wonder how we got like this
Your heart wasn't mine to take
Mine wasn't mine to give
And love wasn't ours to save
I shoulda let you when I could
When the memories
weren't so many or so good
And one night was such a small price to pay

A small price to pay
When a touch was all it was
When the fire was just a candle flame
Throwing shadows of us

(Chris Knight/Sam Tate/Annie Tate)

A hundred cups of coffee, five hundred cigarettes
A thousand miles of highway and I ain't forgot her yet
But I keep on moving, I keep moving down the line
There ain't nothing in my mirror, just a cloud of dust and smoke
But what do you expect when some old trucker's heart gets broke
Yeah, trucker's hearts gets broke
