Short Sweet Ride

I could see it coming from a mile away
A heartache lookinfor a place to stay
But I couldnt resist her and I couldnt be cool
Lord cant a woman make a man a fool
Its an age-old story but it still holds true
There aint no end to what a man wont do
Hell love some woman til he goes insane
Its a short sweet ride on a runaway train
I was drunk and crazy from her sweet perfume
But I knew stone sober I was being used
Now the heartache lingers like a cheap cologne
She took all she wanted then she was gone
Chorus
It was almost worth if for the time we spent
But there aint no future in a heart for rent
Still she taught me something bout the facts of life
Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife
Chorus
Its a short sweet ride on a runaway train

Farewell Party

When the last breath of life, is gone, from my body,
And my lips, are as cold, as the sea,
When my friends, gather round, for my, farewell party,
Wont you, pretend, you love me.
Therell be flowers, from those, wholl cry, when I go,
And leave you, in this, ole world alone,
I know, youll have fun, at my, farewell party,
I know, youll be glad, when Im gone.
Dont be, mad at me, for wanting, to keep you,
Till my life, on this, ole world is through,
Youll be free, at the end, of my, farewell party,
But ill, go away, loving you.
Therell be flowers, from those, wholl cry, when I go,
And leave you, in this, ole world alone,
I know, youll have fun, at my, farewell party,
I know, youll be glad, when Im gone.
Oh I know, youll be glad, when Im gone.

Strong Enough

I just took your picture off the table
And I just took your picture off the wall
Hide from you anywhere I'm able
But there's one place I can't hide from you at all
Chorus:
Tennessee, you don't make the whiskey
California, you don't make the wine
And Mexico, you don't make tequila
Strong enough to get her off my mind
Memories seem to know just where to find me
And lately they're all that I recall
And everything in this old house reminds me
Of the love I had and how I lost it all
Repeat chorus
Days go by and I still feel the sorrow
And time don't make a difference in the pain
Just sitting here and waiting on tomorrow
Will drive me crazy if I don't go insane
Repeat chorus
Strong enough to get her off my mind

Thank God For The Radio

(max d. barnes/robert john jones)
On the wrong end of the highway
When the long night has no end
When theres no one there beside me
til I hold you once again
Thank God for the radio
When Im on the road
When Im far from home
And feelin blue
Thank God for the radio
Playin all night long
Playin all the songs
That mean so much to me and you
Theres a song that we first danced to
And theres a song they played the night we met
And theres a song we first made love to
Thats a song Ill never forget
Thank God for the radio
When Im on the road
When Im far from home

The Christmas Song

(Mel Torme)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
And Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's child
Is gonna spy to see if Reindeers
Really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times, many ways;
"Merry Christmas to you"
Instrumental

Everything I Love

(harvey allen/carson chamberlain)
Coffee keeps me up and I cant sleep
And when I drink too much then I cant eat
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killing me
Everything I love is killing me
Cigarettes, jack daniels and caffeine
And thats the way youre turning out to be
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
cause everything I love is killing me
I guess I made a big mistake
Thinkin youre a habit I can break
Well, Im addicted to you now I see
Everything I love is killing me
Everything I love is killing me
Cigarettes, jack daniels and caffeine
And thats the way youre turning out to be
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
cause everything I love is killing me
Everything I love, gonna have to give up

Dancin All Around It

She said, I dont usually dance
This close to strangers
You know a girl cant be too
Careful with her heart
But I saw you and thought that you
Looked harmless
But when you smile that way Im not
So sure you are
I said, I dont usually come here
For the dancinyou can tell that by the way I move
When I saw you I thought that it
Was hopeless
But I just had to ask you for a
Dance or two
Somewhere in the stars it must
Be written
Girl weve got to take this chance
That weve been given
If theres a heaven here on earth
I think weve found it

Walkin The Floor Over Me

(alan jackson/don sampson)
Theres a lady living right above me
Pretty as a picture on the wall
Once I helped her with a bag of groceries
We met a time or two out in the hall
She told me somebody hurt her feelings
The hurt thats in her eyes is plain to see
Slowly shes been wearing out my ceiling
Walkin the floor over me
Every night I hear her cryin
Cryin over some old memory
A little of my heart is down here dyin
cause shes walkin the floor over me
Back and forth I followed every footstep
Countin long enough to fall asleep
Had the sweetest dream last night cause I dreamt
She was walkin the floor over me
Every night I hear her cryin
Cryin over some old memory
A little of my heart is down here dyin

Ill Go On Loving You

Alan jackson
Ill go on loving you
When I look into your soft green eyes
And when I see your delicate body
Revealed to me as you slip off your dress
Im reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh and
Ill go on loving you
Ill go on loving you
Ill go on loving you
And be it the wind or the rain
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth
Or the change in the tides
I dont know what brought us together
What strange forces of nature
Conspired to construct
The present from the past but
Chorus:

A House With No Curtains

(alan jackson/jim mcbride)
We still wear our rings
We still say I love you
We both play the part
Oh so well
But everyone knows
Its just a sad show
And were only foolin ourselves
Its like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see whats inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide
We could pack up and leave in different directions
If we just had somewhere to go
We just keep on pretending
Afraid of the ending
Admitting what everyone knows
Its like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see whats inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
