Downtime
(phillip coleman/carolyn dawn johnson)
I havent been myself these days according to friends
I tend to lose part of me when my hearts on the mend
Ill be alright its safe to say
cause just like your love this is only a phase
Oh, Ive been on this road a time or two, its nothing new
Ill get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
Im just going through a little down-time
Some might think Ive gotten caught up in heartaches aftermath
But your memorys taken second to a good book and nice long bath
I must admit it threw me at first
But Im convinced Im over the worst
Oh, Ive been on this road a time or two, its nothing new
Ill get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
Im just going through a little down-time
Time is meant to play the part
In taking care of broken hearts
Oh, Ive been on this road a time or two, its nothing new

You're Not In Kansas Anymore
(Tim Nichols/Zack Turner)
He said 'I grew up in Wichita
In a Mayberry kind of town'
He never liked overalls
Or haulin' hay 'til sundown
He said he dreamed about L.A.
As he plowed away the day on an old John Deere
I said 'Boy let me warn you
In southern California there's some fast trains here'
You're not in Kansas anymore
Can't be too careful that's for sure
City lights will led you on
Morning comes and they'll be gone
So write my number on your wall
You can call me anytime at all
I'm so happy now boy
You're not in Kansas anymore
He said do you know where Carson lives
So we drove up to Malibu
Cruisin' down Sunset Strip

Was That My Life
I don't want to be the one who's old before their time,
And lose the wonder that I felt as a child.
I can't run this race believing I might lose;
There's still so much to see, and so much left to do.
Yes, I'll fall before I fly,
But no one can say I never tried.
Oh, we just get one ride around the sun,
In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,
And we ask: was that my life?
I close my eyes and think how lucky I have been,
To hold the ones I love and share my dreams with them.
All those sunny days and all those starry skies:
Good morning kisses and sweet goodnights.
Oh, I can't tell them enough,
Just how much that they are loved.
Oh, you just get one ride around the sun,
In this dream of time.
It goes so fast that one day we look back,
And we ask: was that my life?

Stand Beside Me
He left me cryin late one sunday night outside of boulder
He said he had to find himself out on the road
I guess when love goes wrong
Youve gotta learn to be strong
So I worked two jobs and I moved three times
I ended up south of memphis workin down in riverside
I may not be so lucky in love
But the one thing Im sure of
I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
And Ill give all the love in my heart
Stand beside me
Be true dont tell lies to me
Im not lookin for a fantasy
I want a man that who stands beside me
I didnt expect to see him one hot july morning
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
He said, Ive missed you for so long. oh baby, what can I do
I said, I want a man that stands beside me

Nothing I Can Do
(roy hurd/templeton thompson)
Here I am beggin you to hold me
When everything is tellin me to run
I could turn around, leave this town
Without a sound and never say word one
And just call it done
But Im torn right down the middle
Im on both sides of the line
I know I should be leavin
But the choice aint mine
Theres nothin I can do
I cant fight it
I got a heart like a rocket
I just gotta ride it
Oh the cold, hard truth
When it comes to lovin you
Theres nothin I can do
These footprints on my heart could
Tell a story - many times its been a steppin stone
Its been pushed around, broken down, until I found

No Time For Tears
I gave you everything I had
Oh but it wasnt enough
It dont seem right to hurt so bad
When all youre giving is love
You wouldnt let me love you
Youre just too hard to hold
I gotta break the chains that bind me
So im
Gonna take a cab, take a train
Maybe a limousine
Anything to get me out of here
Aint no way around it
Oh no doubt about it
One thing is clear
Oh theres no time for tears
Oh no
A wall too steep too high to climb
Is protecting your heart
I tried to break through time after time
Oh but it keeps us apart

Winter Wonderland
(Felix Bernard/Dick Smith)
Over the ground, lies a mantel of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts that are thrilling
In spite of the chilly.... weather
Mmmmhmmm...
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
It's a beautiful site
We're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the 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 then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are ya married?"
We'll say, "No man, but you can do the job while you're in town."

Delicious Surprise
(Beth Hart/Glen Burtnik)
If I won me the lottery
I'd dance naked in the street
With a top hat full of money
And you'd wanna get to know me
If I won me the lottery
And if I was a movie star
I'd sip honey from a pickle jar
In the back of my limousine
They'd call me an icon
And I'd be lookin' back at you
From the cover of the people magazine
Bridge: I guess it's all for the takin'
I guess it's all yours and mine
My sister says I got to see it and believe it
Chorus: I believe it
I believe it
If I am just an outside
I'm livin' in a trailor with a black and white tv set
If only I was president, yah

These Are The Days
(holly lamar/stephanie bentley)
I wake up to the sunshine out my
Window and the passin sound of a homeless man
Singin an ol cole porter song
The faucet leaks, the tvs on the blink again
But my restless dreams are still intact
Even though its takin way too long
Got a hundred dollars in a coke tin on my shelf
And Im thinkin to myself, whoa
These are the days you will remember for the rest of your life
These are the memories youll pack in a box and pull em out sometimes
So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice
But baby, dont wait till its too late
Put a smile on your face
These are the days
Outside the people rush to get ahead for checks, promotions and fancy cars
Happiness is just around the bend
Old mrs. jones sits out and suns her face, and as I walk by I hear her say
This is as good as it gets
There goes the business suit who owns this whole damn block

Let It Go
(will rambeaux/jamie kyle/ron bloom)
Still thristy
But the well has run dry
I could fill it with tears
But I aint gonna cry
So hungry for some kind of sign
I look for forgiveness
But theres rage in your eyes
I shouldve seen it comin
I shouldve been warned
Now Im runnin from a heartache into a storm
If we dont let it go
Lay down the anger
Let the wild winds blow
If we dont let it go
Were soon to be strangers
If we dont let it go
So clever
In your choice of words
But the time to talk is over
