Might Just Take Your Life
(blackmore/coverdale/lord/paice)
I got more than I asked for,
There aint nothin I need.
I took all till I had more,
Im always takin the lead
Old man shakin dice down on the street,
Tryn to make a livin somehow
But Im really sure about gettin things sorted out
And Im gettin ready right now
You cant hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
Ive been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same,
Its all Ive ever had
Ive got somethin that you cant get
But one thing you can see
Gettin there aint easy
But it sure was hard for me
You cant hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
Every time I take a look
Theres someone close behind
They never used to make a pass,
The things that crossed their minds
Now they tell me that its all right
And they want to be my friend
Theyre ridin on my back
When is it goin to end?
You cant hold me,
I have told you
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need

I Told Myself
I told myself
You do love me
Is it really true?
She asked me
I told myself
You care for me
Are you really sure?
She asked me
I told myself
You do miss me
As often as you?
She asked me
I told myself
You need me too
Are you guessing?
She asked me
I told myself
You never tell me
Why on Earth?
She asked me
I told myself
You hide a lot…
Is that friendship?
She asked me
I told myself
You think too much
Does he not feel?
She asked me
Tell me, my love
What shall I say?
To all those queries
That she asked me...
How should I answer?
What should I ponder?
Tell me the truth
For she still asks me...
You For Me
And Me For You
Is it the Future?
One last Question
She did ask me.
I don’t have the answers
Yet she keeps asking me…
May be, she knows,
One day, one moment
You’ll let her know
How you feel for me...

I Feel Like Im Forgetting Something
(lee ann womack/jason sellers/wynn varbie)
Grabbed my keys, door is locked
I turned off the coffee pot
Runnin late as I back out of the drive
I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Feelin good, great big smile
First time in a long long while
You aint been the first thing on my mind
But I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be Im gettin over you?
Baby Im better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Theres a guy at work, hes cute for sure
Ive never noticed him before
Somethins had me so preoccupied
Yeah but I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Maybe my heart is finally healin
Could it be Im gettin over you?
Baby Im better now and feelin
Been livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin
Im a livin life without your lovin
Your memorys down to nearly nothin
And I feel like Im forgettin somethin

Stormy Weather
Writers: leo sayer & tom snow
Sometimes you can be like a stranger
In moments when youre so far away
In the night when I reach out to hold you
You just turn away, why do you turn away
Oh, I love you so when youre smilin
But your smile has faded overnight
Will we stay like this for a lifetime
Gettin nothin right, gettin nothin right
Why do we always have stormy weather
Why do we have it so rough
Is it so hard just to stay close together
Why cant we ever have love
Oh, I knew from the first time I saw you
I just had to make you mine
Felt so sad when you told me
About your troubled life, all about your troubled life
So here we are just a few years further
Still tryin to make it work
Ive a feelin what we really need right now, girl
Is just a little love, oh baby, just a little love
Why should we always have stormy weather
Why should we have it so rough
Its not so hard just to stay close together
Why cant we only have love

Ive Got To Get A Message To You
The preacher talked to me and he smiled,
Said, come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile.
Now for once in your life youre alone,
But you aint got a dime, theres no time for the phone.
Ive just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.
I told him Im in no hurry,
But if I broke her heart, wont you tell her Im sorry.
And for once in my life Im alone,
And Ive got to let her know just in time before I go.
Ive just go to get a message to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.
Well I laughed but that didnt hurt,
And its only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt.
Now Im crying but deep down inside,
Well I did it to him, now its my turn to die.
Ive just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.

Two Gunslingers
Two gunslingers, walked out in the street
And one said I dont wanna fight no more
And the other gunslinger thought about it
And he said, yeah what are we fighting for?
Im t akin control of my life,
Im takin control of my life
Im takin control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah
Well the crowd that assembled
For the gun fight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed
And a stranger told h is mrs.
Thats the last one of these gunfights
Youre ever gonna drag me to
Im takin control of my life,
Im takin control of my life
Im takin control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah
Well the two gunslinge rs
Went ridin out of town and
Were never heard from no more
And there aint been a gun fight
For a long time, maybe never
But nobody knows for sure
Im takin control of my life,
Im takin control of my life
Im t akin control of my life now,

Work It Out
You know I got a thing for you
I know you got a thing for me too
So tell me baby whats it gonna be ooh
Here we are alone again
Just like before we had a chance
For romance baby
And now its slippin out our hands baby
Oh well
Sittin here aint got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this heres not enough
We need changed
Sittin here aint got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this s is gettin old
The love is gone
Whos gonna be the first to say goodbye
How do we choose
When we have so much to lose
Stop it stop pretending nothing is wrong
Just admit this is it so we can move on
Cause I cant go on living my life this way
Day after day just sitting here
Sittin here aint got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this heres not enough
We need changed
Sittin here aint got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this s is gettin old
We could be livin like my dream fantasies
Where you hold me in your arms and kiss me so softly
My thoughts would be always of you
And the kind and gentle things you do yeah
But reality pulls me out of my mind
And instead of that Im still sittin here
Sittin here aint got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this heres not enough
We need changed
Sittin here aint got much to talk about
What we gonna do to work it out
Cause this s is gettin old

If You Aint Lovin You Aint Livin
If you got a cadillac boy
And a 40 room shack boy
A bucket full of money
And a tree full of honey
But if your gettin no huggin
No smoochin or a muggin
If you aint lovin
Than you aint livin
If youõre ridin on a gravy train
Instead of walkin down loverõs lane
You cant make hay boy
Cause your goin the wrong way boy
You gotta get a little honey
Its better than money
If you aint lovin
Than you aint livin
If they call you a big man
Cause you got a lot of bottom land
If youre kin to the president
And ya get help from the government
But if your gettin no attention
Youre better off on a pension
If you aint lovinõ
Than you aint livin
If you got a string of long cards
And your smokin them four-bit cigars
You aint so well to do
Unless you get a little coochy-coo
It takes a little bit of smackin
Or your lifes lackin
If you aint lovin
Than you aint livin

The Strangest Thing '97
Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognize people I care for
Take my dreams
Chldish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse, please just be there for me
The things that I know nobody told me
The seeds that are sown they still control me
Chorus:
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing is I cannot get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That I cannot find inside my head
Wake me with your love
It's all I need
But in all this time still no one said
If I had not asked would you have told me?
If you call this love why don't you hold me?
(Repeat chorus)
Give me something I can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me, heal me with your crime
The only one who ever new me, we've waisted so much time
So much time

A life you'll never know
This is one life you'll never know.
The life of rape and abuse.
The life of a victim.
The life of feeling alone.
The life of being scared.
I was raped and abused.
It was alife I didn't ask for.
And one I wish I never knew.
But this life has stuck to me like glue.
I never wanted that life but I got it.
I now live the aftermath.
Flashbacks are a daily occurance.
Hearing and seeing things.
You helped to make me selfharm.
You made me suicidal.
I hate you.
This is the life you'll never know.
Becuase once you'd finished with me.
You left me to pick up the pieces.
And I hate you all the more.
Rage and anger fills my heart.
Destroy me you have.
I never asked for this life.
And I never asked to meet you.
I hate the life of the victim.
But as hard as I try.
I still am the victim.
The flashbacks and voices.
The nightmares and fears.
Make sure I am

Skeletons
Skeletons in your closet
Itchin to come outside
Messin with your conscience
In a way your face cant hide
Oh things are gettin real funky
Down at the old corral
And its not the skunks that are stinkin
Its the stinkin lies you tell
What did your mama tell you about lies
She said it wasnt polite to tell a white one
What did your daddy tell you about lies
He said one white one turns into a black one
So, its gettin ready to blow
Its gettin ready to show
Somebody shot off at the mouth and
Were gettin ready to know
Its gettin ready to drop
Its gettin ready to shock
Somebody done turned up the heater
Ana its gettin ready to pop
Crevices in your pantry
Now what do we have in here
Havin a daytime nightmare
Has always been your biggest fear
Oh things are gettin real crucial
Up the old wazoo
Yet you cry, why am I the victim?
When the culprits y-o-u
What did your mama tell you about lies
She said it wasnt polite to tell a white one
What did your daddy tell you about lies
He said one white one turns into a black one
So, its gettin ready to blow
Its gettin ready to show
Somebody shot off at the mouth and
Were gettin ready to know
Its gettin ready to drop
Its gettin ready to shock
Somebody done turned up the heater
Ana its gettin ready to pop
Its gettin ready to seep
Youre gettin ready to freak
Somebody done picked up the talk box
Were gettin ready to speak
Its gettin ready to jive
Youre gettin ready to gel
Somebody done gone let the lid off
Were gettin ready to smell
Theyre gettin ready to deal
Youre gettin ready to ill
Somebody done just dropped the big dime
And theyre gettin ready to squeal
Its gettin ready to turn
Were gettin ready to learn
Somebody done fired up the brimstone
And youre gettin ready to burn
Its gettin ready to shake
Youre gettin ready to ache
Somebody done snitched to the news crew
And its gettin ready to break
Youre gettin ready to lie
Theyre gettin ready to spy
Somebodys been put on the hot seat
And youre gettin ready to fry

Bible Stories: Job (Chapter II)
When angels came before Yahweh,
Satan too joined them again.
The Lord asked him, “Whence do you come? ”
And Satan told, “By roaming earth,
And going on lands, back and forth.”
God asked, “Did you notice my servant Job?
There’s none like him upon the earth! ”
“You ruined Job without a cause! ”
And Satan answered Lord and said,
“Man gives all things to save his life;
Just touch his body, he’ll curse God.”
So, God placed Job in Satan’s hands;
‘Just spare his life, ’ God warned Satan.
So, Satan went from Lord’s presence,
And caused Job boils from head to foot;
Job took a potsherd to scrape with
And sat amongst the ashes sad.
His wife advised, “Curse God and die! ”
Job told her not to be foolish.
“When good things come, we praise the Lord.”
“Why shouldn’t some evil come? ” asked Job.
In all this, Job didn’t sin by word!
Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar-
Good friends of Job, heard the sad news,
And rushed to mourn and console him!
From far, they couldn’t recognize Job;
They wept aloud and tore their cloaks;
They sprinkled dust upon their heads;
And sat with him upon the ground,
For seven days and nights, speechless.
They saw his grief was very great!

A Friend From Above
I prayed for you before we met
Not knowing who you'd be
I asked the Lord to send me a friend
One chosen just for me.
I asked that they'd be Godly
With wisdom of His ways
A friend to help and guide me
In the trouble of these days.
So often in life we need someone
To listen while we talk
Someone who will not condemn or judge
But encourage us as we walk.
The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble
But to have a friend to catch our fall
Teaches us to be humble.
When I asked the Lord to send a friend
Though many came and went
He gave me much more than I ever asked
For instead of just one, two He sent.

Hard Enough Getting Over You
For the first time, in such a long time
Ive been feelin theres some reason
To hold on through the night
And for the first time since
You broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin
Its really gonna be alright
Now youre askin me to let
You walk back into my life
Something I cant bring myself to do
Chorus:
cause its been hard enough gettin over you
You kept me holdin on till the end
Oh its been hard enough getting over you
I dont think that I could say goodbye again
I could trust you, but its out of my hands
I once believed your promises
Believed in every word you said
I still love you but my heart wont take the chance
That all the pain Ive left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead
Just remember it was you
Who walked right out of my life
No you dont know what Ive been through
Chorus
I made a promise to myself
And this one Im not gonna break
Ive made it without you
And Im not about to
Turn around and make the same mistake
Chorus
cause its been hard enough gettin over you
You kept me holdin on till the end
Oh, its been hard enough gettin over you
I dont think that I could say goodbye
I dont think I could say goodbye
I know that I cant say goodbye again

He asked me if I'd take a penny for my thoughts.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
and I told him the things on my mind.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
I had thought then I'd be paid in kind.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
and the closest friends we came to be.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
I thought then the one he cared for, was me.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
now rich with my thoughts he was.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
I thought his reason was more than 'just because'.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
he's made me rich with a broken heart.
A penny for your thoughts he asked,
now my life has a broken start.
Have I Told You, Son?
Have I told you, son,
That someday you'll be a man?
And that someday that I can't help you,
You'll have to make a stand?
So hold your head up high,
And when I tell you, son,
I say
Don't you cry, don't you cry.
Have I told you, son,
That someday you'll have a car?
And that for you to reach me,
Would still be much too to far?
So hold your head up high,
And when I tell you, son,
I say
Don't you cry, don't you cry.
Have I told you, son,
That someday you'll have a wife?
And that she'll be there for you,
When I am no longer in your life?
So hold your head up high,
And when I tell you, son,
I say
Don't you cry, don't you cry.
Have I told you, son,
That someday all things will end?
And though I fixed your bicycle,
Some things you cannot mend?
So hold your head up high,
And when I tell you, son,
I say
Don't you cry, don't you cry.
And have I told you, son.
That someday soon I won't be ill?
And that even though I'm gone
I'll be with you still?
So hold your head up high,
And when I tell you son,
I say
Don't you cry, don't you cry.
And have I told you, son,
That someday we'll meet again?
And that you'll tell your son just what I told you 'way back then? '
So hold your head up high,
And when you tell your son
I say
Don't you cry, don't you cry.

In a place where they can never play the music too loud

I Never Knew Love
I asked you to come inside my heart
And there you were
I asked for a pure and gentle start
And there you were
I asked fif this love could ever be
The way that I've dreamt of it you see
I never knew love
I asked you to open up my eyes
And there you were
I asked for the keys to paradise
And there you were
They say only ask and you'll receive
I never knew that applied to me
I never knew love
Life is good life is sweet
It's the way we perceive
Cynics say we can dream
Change your mind heal the world
It's easy just believe
I asked for a change in all my life
And there you were
You're everything I had hoped to find
Yes, there you were
I hope and I pray that you will find
A peace and a joy as great as mine
All about love I hope you find love

Oh I love that song. you know I told you about the men
Who have influenced me in my music.
Well now I want to tell you about the women.
And theres lots of them.
But this first one I wanna tell you about,
I admired her for a long time .
First of all, it was because of her songwriting.
I liked the way she always told a story in her songs.
And then in her singing.
I always loved to listen to her sing.
She had a different style, a different quality about it.
Shes so witty, so personable and you know
No matter whether its her singing,
Her songwriting, or her acting,
Ill always be a big fan of dolly parton!
