Nothing Short Of Dying
(Travis Tritt)
I should've told her more I loved her
I should've spent more time at home
But should haves really aren't important
Since the fact is now she's gone
I wish I'd listened to my conscience
When it said 'don't let her go'
And if she's wondering how I'm doing
Well, I think she oughta know
(That/And) I find myself praying
More than I ever did before
And I find my heart is breaking
Each time her memory slams the door
And I find myself crying
And trying to hold on
'Cause there ain't nothing short of dying
That's worse than being left alone
I thought I'd be just fine without her
I'd be happy a free man
But the hurtin' side of lonesome

Small Doses
You'd think after fourty
Long days and nights
I'd finally get used to the rain
But until the storm passes
Outta my mind
The only thing I know
To take for the pain is..
Small, small doses,
A sip at a time
A little whiskey and water
I'll sit here all night
Some live with heartaches
But I'm killing mine
With small, small doses
A sip at a time.
My doctor said son
Aint a thing I can do
To help you get on with your life
So till I find a way
To forget about you

Help Me Hold On
Baby, close that suitcase you've been packing
Just sit down and talk to me awhile
I know you tried to tell me what was lacking
But I guess I must've missed it by a mile
Well, this time, girl, I swear to you I'll listen
Help me understand where I went wrong
It's hard to find myself in this position
Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone
[CHORUS]
Help me hold on
To what we have
Once our love was strong
It can be again
You said it takes two
To make love last
You were right all along
So help me hold on
What've I got to do to make it better?
What've I got to do to make you see?
That even though I promised you forever

Between An Old Memory And Me
(Keith Stegall/Charlie Craig)
I was sittin' at a table
In a little club downtown
Playin' songs on the jukebox
And pourin' whiskey down
When I heard a sweet voice sayin'
"Would you like some company?"
And I had to tell her
This is just between an old memory and me
All my friends tell me
That I'm a fool for holding on
I know their trying to help me
But I've been a fool too long
And I don't want to talk about it
So why can't they just let me be?
'Cause this is just between
An old memory and me
And I'm not hurtin' anybody
As far as I can see
I just need to be alone sometimes

A Hundred Years From Now
(Marty Stuart)
When you left I nearly lost my mind
And I tried to drown my sorrow
Every night in warm, red wine
My old heart's broke to pieces
But I'll get by somehow
Cause I won't care, Lord, a hundred years from now
From the top of this old world
To the bottom of the glass
I've thrown away my future
By drownin' out the past
When you walked out the door
Girl, you broke every vow
But I won't care a hundred years from now...
Tonight I'm hurtin'
In an old familiar way
Lord, I've got lots of reasons
Why I come here every day
Lord, I'm tired of lovin' lonesome
That's how old Travis feels right now

Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde
Chorus:
Well, it's a long way to Richmond
Rolling north on 95,
with a redhead riding shotgun
and a pistol by my side.
Tearing down that highway
like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde
We met a truck stop
Johnson City, Tennesee
I was gassin' up my Firebird
when I heard her callin' me
Said "Which way are you headed boy?
Do you need some company?"
She had me stoppin at a quick mart
before we made it out of town
Next thing she was running at me
Telling me to lay that hammer down
"Cause there's a man right behind me
doing his best to slow me down."
Chorus

Restless Kind
(Michael Henderson)
Well I was born the restless kind
Settlin' down never crossed my mind
Wild and wooly I guess that's me
People sure get nervous when a man is free
I can hold my tongue and I can hold my wine
I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
I've seen the country and I've been to town
Rode in fancy cars with the top rolled down
Comin' down the road like a summer breeze
Whatever it takes I do what I please
I can hold my horses I can hold the line
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind
Yeah the restless kind
I was born the restless kind
I never assume what I'm gonna find
I can stand my ground I can slip through a crack
But as sure as I leave buddy I'll be back
I can hold my temper I can bide my time
Yeah I can hold my own I'm the restless kind

Can't Tell Me Nothin'
1986 Harley
Blowing smoke and sucking oil
My daddy said, "Buy it and you're crazy boy"
You can't tell me nothin'
It took me a year to fix it up
And one day to lay her down
I got a little hitch in my get-along now
You can't tell me nothin'
Chorus:
Talk is cheap and free advice
Is worth the price you pay
I had to find out for myself the hard way
You can't tell me nothin'
Hometown homecoming sweetheart
Nobody thought I had a prayer
Her momma said "Boy, don't you come around here"
You can't tell me nothin'
They say be careful what you wish for
I wanted to be her man
Two babies and a trailer later here I am

More Than You'll Ever Know
Travis Tritt
I know living with me ain't always easy
But girl when you're not by my side
I feel a part of me has died
'Cause I love you more than you'll ever know
More than life more than I've ever loved before
It's absurd and beyond words
I couldn't want you more
And when I try to hold my heart out to you
I'm not sure it shows
That I love you more than you'll ever know
I'm sure you've heard it say hearts have windows
But mine has doors a painful past has closed
Unless someday they open wide revealing feelings locked inside
I'll love you more than you'll ever know
More than life more than I've ever loved before
It's absurd and beyond words
I couldn't want you more
And when I try to hold my heart out to you
I'm not sure it shows

Winter Wonderland
(Felix Bernard/Dick Smith)
Chorus:
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin
In the lane, snow is glistenin
A beautiful sight, were happy tonight
Walkin in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
Hell say, "Are you married?"
Well say, "No, man"
But you can do the job while youre in town
Later on well conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin in a winter wonderland
--- Instrumental ---
