I Want To Know You Before We Make Love
Sometimes all you need is someone to hold you
Sometimes that's all you're looking for
But I'd like to take the time to get to know you
'Cause I don't want this time to be like all the times before
I want to know you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into those eyes
I want to feel the love inside you
I want to know you before we make love
I've learned from all those lonely nights with strangers
It takes time for real love to be found
I feel the invitation of your body
But I'd like to look inside your soul before I lay you down
I want to know you before I make love to you
I want to show you all of my heart
And when I look into those eyes
I want to feel the love inside you
I want to know you before we make love
If we take it slow together, together
We might make it last forever

Very Special Love
Words and music by teddy gentry, randy owen, and jeff cook
She said, I spent eight years in california.
Thats the reason why I talk the way I do.
But Ive hear how southern men respect the ladies, and Id like to meet a
Gentleman like you.
Well, I spent most of my life in alabama.
Thats the reason why I talk the way I do.
And Ive always had this thing for sun-tanned ladies, and Id really like to
Spend some time with you.
And we walked on the beach till early morning.
And we watched as the sun came up again.
And somehow we both shared the feelin that wed just made a very special
Friend.
Tomorrow Ill go back to alabama, and youll fly from atlanta to l.a.and ill
Get back to takin care of busness, and youll go back to starrin on the
Stage.
But well think of the beach come monday morning, when both of us get back to
Push and shove.
And somehow we will always remember the night we shared a very special love.
I spent most of my life in alabama.

This Love's On Me
Sittin' alone at a table for two, when she walked in
I was down on my second love,
Swore I'd never do that again
She sat down beside me and tried to explain
That two bad loves don't spoil the whole darn game
The first love lies
The second lover hurts you deep inside
Now that you're free
This love's on me
I thought my life was at the end of its rope
Without true love, there could be no hope
Then she asked if I would stay for the night
She said, everything's gonna be all right
The sun came up the very next day
I knew what she meant when I heard her say
The first love lies
The second lover hurts you deep inside
Now that you're free
This love's on me

Carolina Mountain Dew
Somewhere in the mountains.........in northern Alabama
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
Somewhere in a motel......out in Oklahoma
There's the Alabama dreamer
That same man from Tennessee
Sometime late at night......the lonely wakes her gently
And knocks at her door......but she won't give in
But like every other woman........She needs to feel wanted
She thinks of making love.......and goes to sleep again
Carolina.........dreamin' lonely
Carolina.........can't you see
You will always be the lady.....
That I dream of holding tight.....
That I kiss and tell goodnight.....
Carolina.......mountain dewe
Sometime that next day.....on a Mississippi freeway
The Alabama dreamer........is homeward bound
His conscious is as clear........as those green eyes of Carolina
And she's waiting with the baby from the love..............of the only man to
lay her down

If It Ain't Dixie
Oh I love those Colorado Rockies
And that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
On a California night
Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago
On those windy afternoons
Its a big beautiful country
But Im never home too soon
If it aint Dixie, it wont do
If it aint Dixie it dont feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
Ive had good times
North of the line
Ive got a lot of good friends too
But if it aint Dixie, it wont do
It wont do
When the leaves turn in New England
I love the chill thats in the air
Ive walked the New York City sidewalks
Had a big time in Times Square

Changes Comin On
Words and music by jimmy darreell, buddy cannon, and dean dillion
Long hair was not in style the first time I heard haggard on the radio, but I could feel the changes comin on.
The beatles crossed the ocean, an overnight explosion on the t.v.
My brother had to go to vietnam.
Ford unveiled the mustang.
Things were good in detroit for the people there.
And I could feel changes comin on.
From atlanta doctor king told the world he had a dream.
People followed him.
And daddy said my hair was getting long.
I could feel changes comin on.
People started singin different songs, searchin for the place where they belong.
I could feel changes comin on.
Well, Im still hooked on haggard.
But the beatles cant come back like we hoped they would.
In memphis, tennessee, the king is gone.
As I put my kids to bed, I wonder what lies ahead for them to see, cause I can feel the changes comin on.
I could feel changes comin on.
People stilll are singin different songs.
Theyre searchin for the place where they belong.

I Can't Love You Any Less
(Teddy Gentry/Randy Owen/Ronnie Rogers/Greg Fowler)
My heart fell to the floor
The night you broke the news
Said you couldn't feel it anymore
Those words that rolled off your tongue
Tore my world in two
As you turned and walked on out the door
I've been trying to get over you
And get on with my life
But the more I do without you
The more I realize
I can't love you any less, no matter how I try
You left me with a feeling, that just won't seem to die
And it's killing me knowing, I'll never hold you like before
I don't love you any less
You don't love me anymore
Well girl I hope you never feel
The way I feel tonight
It's a hopeless kind of pain
Well I'm not even comin' close

The Maker Said Take Her
I was taught to believe, and never to doubt
The man up above, knows what he's talking about.
So when I heard that voice, so loud and clear,
Speak to my heart I knew that she must be near.
The maker said take her and love her forever
Take care of her for life
And treat her right
I never was the one for listening very well
I walked my own way and felt what I felt
Further out of touch with the master plan
she was like a flight to the promised land
And
The maker said take her and love her forever
Take care of her for life
Never forsake her, don't be a heartbreaker
The maker said take her and treat her right.
Just treat her right
He placed an angel in the palm of my hands
And for once of my life I obeyed his comands
I'll take her and lover her forever

Theres No Way
Written by palas/robinson/jarrard
As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand this love that that I feel
Is so right and so real I realize how lucky I am
And to you ever wonder if my love is true
There is something that I want to make clear with you
Theres no way I could make it without you
Theres no way that Id even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldnt last a day, oh baby, theres no way
It means so much to me whenever I see that wanting me look in your eyes
I dont know how I could do without holding you close every night
Ive waited so long just to have you to hold
Now that Ive got you, Ill never let go
Theres no way I could make it without you
Theres no way that I d even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldnt last a day, oh baby, theres no way
I never knew what to do, what I was missin
Now you say forever, I find my heart is listenin, yes, Im listenin

Pass It On Down
We live in the land of plenty
But many things arent plenty anymore
Like the water from our sink
They says not safe to drink
You gotta go and buy it at the store
Now were told theres a hole in the ozone
Look whats washing on the beach
And lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas
Were bringing mother nature to her knees
Chorus:
So lets leave some blue up above us
Lets leave some green on the ground
Its only ours to borrow, lets save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
Well theres a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in brazil, the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees
Repeat chorus
Theres a place where I live called the canyon
