Leave My Heartache Behind
Pat Simmons
Soquel Songs (ASCAP)
The hardest thing I've ever done
Is say goodbye to you.
But even though I love you baby,
I know you can't be true.
I walked down that country road
Out to the big highway
I caught a ride on an eighteen-wheeler
And I'm takin' it all the way.
Takin' all these blues to the highway
Tryin' to get her out of my mind.
When I'm out on the open road
With the wind in my face,
I'll leave my heartache behind.
Raindrops on my window,
Teardrops from my eyes,
I thought our love was sacred
Now I know that's just a lie.
So I pack my suitcase

Showdown
Tom johnston
I never in my life met a girl so low
Sneakin out the back door of my house below
The fog is creepin in and the moon is full
I do believe she find what shes lookin for
And you know theres gonna be
Showdown
You better get ready
Showdown
Im gonna shoot for the heart
Showdown
Put your cards on the table
Were heading for the showdown tonight
That little girl treat me so mean
Wicked like the devil in tight blue jeans
Here I sit with my head hung low
Waiting for the woman come through that door
Showdown
You better get ready

South City Midnight Lady
Patrick simmons
Up all night I could not sleep
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
With shakin hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette
Well the sun came, night had fled
And sleepy eyed I reached my bed
I saw you sleepy dreamin there all covered and warm
South city midnight lady
Im much obliged indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that sent out returned with you
When day has left the night behind
And shadows roll across my mind
I sometimes find myself alone out walkin the street
Yes, and when Im feelin down and blue
Then all I do is think of you
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
South city midnight lady

I Can Read Your Mind
Simmons/okerman/thompson
Well your love is supernatural
Got a hold on me like Im hypnotized
You dont have to say a word
Every time you look at me
I can see it all in your eyes
Well I know you put a spell on me
How you make me think about you all the time
I can almost hear your voice
Even though youre far away
I can feel you right by my side
I can read your mind
What you want me to do
Darlin deep in your heart
I see the truth
Now I know you got the magic touch
When you hold me now I can see the truth
All the secrets of the heart
You cant hide them any more
I can feel the power in you

Gates Of Eden
Guy Allison, Keith Knudsen
EarthWalk Music (ASCAP) / K-KUAD Music (ASCAP)
We've been together for a long, long while
We've seen some bad and better days.
But heart and soul are meant for all time
These are the keys we can't replace.
Let's go back to Eden,
Don't make the garden wait.
At the gates of Eden,
This golden key is all it takes.
Simple things are better said in simple ways,
I'm a simple man in love with you.
These are the gates of Eden,
Take my hand we'll walk on through.
Let's go back to Eden,
Don't make the garden wait.
At the gates of Eden,
This golden key is all it takes.
Remember we're the ones who make.
You and me

Cant Let It Get Away
John mcfee / nicolette larson / patrick simmons
Everything comes to an end
Few have time to wait
Well my patience, lord, is wearin thin
The hours gettin late
The ladies come and go
Barely turn my head
But you make me feel
Like a change is coming
Ive been wastin time
Im ready for you
Im leavin my past behind
Im ready for you
Cant let it get away
Its gettin closer
Cant let it get away
Im feelin better
Cant let it get away, oh no
Cant let it get away, cant let it get away
Oh it was worth the wait

The Master
Tom johnston
Just dont know why I keep on tryin
Must be a better way out
I hope I find it soon
Every night, I just cant keep from cryin
Even my old dog
Keeps howlin at the moon
Even my old dog
Keeps howlin at the moon
Even the sun, it just a keep on shinin
Pollyanna days when I was a child and on my own
Even the tracks, they just a keep on linin
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
Oh, but bless the days and the many different ways
People try to love one another
And wont you bless the times and the holy light that shine
Our cross has been brought asunder
Even the sun, it just a keep on shinin
Pollyanna days when I was a child and on my own

Open Your Eyes
Michael mcdonald/lester abrams/patrick henderson
Girl, as we take a long last look at this love
Before you go, Ive got to know
Ive got to know, was it ever true
Ive got to hear it from you
Girl, I can take one more hurt in this heart
Before you go, Ive got to know
Ive got to know, was it ever true
Ive got to hear it from you
Not like before
We were lost in a whirling dance
Never slowing down
Long enough to give truth a chance
To come out
So that the light could shine in
And open your eyes
If its not real, theres no reason to frown
Open your eyes
Lets not let what never was bring us down
Ive got to know, was it ever true

Something You Said
M. lunn/a. gorrie
I didnt stand a chance
I heard a voice within
With just a passing glance
You made the walls cave in
You were gone baby, without a word
I got the message loud and clear
Couldnt help but hear
As you were walkin away
It was somethin you said...
Now I wake up in the night
Strange things in my head
Oh, you did it with your eyes
It musta been something
Musta been something you said
So say it again
Im just delirious
Caught in a waking dream
Did you mean what you said
An did you say what you mean

One By One
Bobby lakind/michael mcdonald
Where and why Im destined to go
Right here and now thats all I know
On either side future or past
Neither is real both fade so fast
So one by one were given these moments to live just as one by one theyre taken away
So one by one Im taking each day in my stride
And one by one the memories stay
Good times are still there to find
When times are their worst
Keep your eyes open wide
cause through it all are moments that shine
And moments that glow
Im gonna be there for mine
So one by one were given these moments to live just as one by one theyre taken away
So one by one Im taking each day in my stride
And one by one the memories stay
Even when youre close to a dream
It can still let you down
Youll always have a chance to give up
