And On
Your mother was crying
Your father passed her a handkerchief
Their tear-stained faces
Looked to mine for a sign of grief
A thousand raincoats
Always stand around too long
But I stayed to talk with you
After they had gone.
The flowers I brought you
Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain
Your name on the card had run
So I tried in vain to write it again
They didnt understand you - no!
They didnt even try
Im so glad that you left us now
Before you had the chance to die.
I sat there for a long time,
Expecting to turn and see you there
I ran my fingers through the long grass
Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh
Im gonna miss you, dear
But I dont have to cry
Im so glad that you left us now,
Before you had the chance to die
And oh, Im going to miss you dear,
But Im not going to cry
Im so glad that your life stopped now,
Before it had the chance to die.

Just Got Back
Words and music by rick nielsen
Well just got back
Been gone too long
Wasnt my idea, didnt pull the trigger
Oh oh oh I i I Im just so glad
Im just so glad to be back home, yeah
I just got back
Been a long long time
Wasnt my idea, didnt point the finger
Oh oh oh I i I Im just so glad
Im just so glad to go home
You run the risk of falling
With some solitary sam
Ive sailed the seven sins a poly-future plan
A. paul calypso
Isnt really what it seems
This aint committee art
My god, is it a dream?
I just got back

Wasnt my idea what the doctor figured
Oh oh oh I i I Im just so glad
Im just so glad, Im just so glad, Im just so glad
To be back home
No no no no no no no no
Im just so glad
No no no no no no no no

Just About Glad
Im just about glad that I knew you once
And it was more than just a passing acquaintance
Im just about glad that it was a memory
That doesnt need constant maintenance
There are a few things that I regret
But nothing that I need to forget
For all of the courage that we never had
Im just about glad
Chorus:
Just about glad we didnt do that thing
Just about glad we didnt have that fling
Just about glad we didnt give it a try
Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye
And on the few times I rang to propose
There was a man there or so I suppose
The greatest lover that you never had
Im just about glad
They called time and vodka and lime
In some far flung canadian club
(just about glad)
And there I was just waiting to fall
Like a toe just aching to stub
(just about glad)
Later on I could never accept it
When you finally gave it all to him
(just about glad)
And you said that my nurse was sweet
But her lamp was just beginning to dim
Im just about glad
That we never did that thing we were going to do
Im just about glad I can look you in the eye
But I cant say the same for you
And though the passion still flutters and flickers
It never got into our knickers
For all of the courage that we never had
Im just about, Im just about
Im just about, Im just about
Chorus
And its all just a stupid creation
Of my feverous imagination
If Im the greatest lover that you never had
Im just about, Im just about
Im just about, Im just about
Chorus
Is that a tear in your eye [3x]

If Walls Could Talk
(bobby miller)
Well, if things could talk then Im sure youd hear
A lot of things to make you cry my dear
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk
Now, if shoes could tell where theyve been
When you say youve been visiting a friend
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
He-he-hey, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that shoes dont talk
Now, if doors could tell whos turned the knob
When hes away out on his job
If cars could tell whos been inside
And whos been taking you out for a ride
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that cars dont talk
In a world of trouble Id be
If things ever told on me
My whole life would be through
cause Im guilty, how about you ?
If things ever talk that way
Aint no telling what they might say
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk

Will I See You Again
In the dark
Im lying all alone
I just wonder where you are
But I know that you will come
That youll be there
Ive got to walk this lonesome road
To get this of my head
Ive got no time for the living dead
So, Im taking off for higher ground
To get you off my back
You know, you gotta cut me some slack
cause now Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
cause now Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
Will I see you again
I didnt have the chance to say, Im sorry
Will I see you again
This is more than I can take (from you)
A bottle of moonshine in the evening
And the daymare starts to fade
Now Ive got time for the weekend raid
Im on my own and I cant stay bored,
Ive passed that river long ago
Im not sure Im your friend or foe
cause now Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
cause now Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
Im ready to go, I cant be stopped
Will I see you again
I didnt have the chance to say, Im sorry
Will I see you again
This is more than I can take (from you)
Ive got to clear my head

Shoulda' Listened
Ohhh... yeah
I should have stopped, looked and listened before I proceeded
But caution I threw to the wind
Manyve been placed in my life to help lead me and guide me
But I didnt want to talk to them
So I ignored their advice and I tried to disguise pain from you and all the things you did
The wrong road was chosen my heart has been broken
Cause I didnt want to hear them
Shoulda said what I didnt say
Shoulda went right but I went left that day
Shoulda prayed but instead I strayed
Shoulda gone a different way
Shoulda listened to my mother
When she said that you were no good for me
Shoulda listened to my pastors
When they told me turn around and leave you be
Shoulda listened to my sisters
When they said that I was too blind to see
But I see the light somehow
And I vow to listen now
I had the chance to advance and it seemed like the best
Opportunity that I could get
I didnt bother to see if my people agreed
Maybe I knew what they would say and yet
I didnt control it I kept going for it
When I shoulda known it wasnt in Gods plan
Had to let go, had I listened before
I wouldve said no from the door
Shoulda said what I didnt say
Shoulda went right but I went left that day
Shoulda stayed but instead I strayed
Shoulda gone a different way
Shoulda listened to my mother
When she said that you were no good for me
Shoulda listened to my pastors
When they told me turn around and leave you be
Shoulda listened to my sisters
When they said that I was too blind to see
But I see the light somehow
And I vow to listen now
Shoulda listened to my mother
When she said that you were no good for me
Shoulda listened to my pastors
When they told me turn around and leave you be
Shoulda listened to my sisters
When they said that I was too blind to see
But I see the light somehow
And I vow to listen now
Shoulda listened I know I shoulda listened
But I know that I vow to listen now
Shoulda listened I know I shoulda listened
But you dont have to tell me twice I'm going to listen now
Shoulda listened if only I had listened
But Ive learned my lesson now
Im gonna listen now
Shoulda listened cause I just cant be missing
All the things God has for me

The Dance
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that youd ever say goodbye
(chorus)
And now Im glad I didnt know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But Id of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasnt I a king
But if Id only known how the king would fall
Hey whos to say you know I might have changed it all
*chorus*
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but Id of had to miss the dance.

So Long
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
Dont know where Im heading for
Turn my back and walk away
Dont think about whats left behind
Otherwise
Think about the good times
Think about the people you love
Think about the sun that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Im better by myself
So long, so long
Dont need nobody else
If I fade from peoples hearts
Im glad I left them far behind
Theres one thing that holds me still
Im thinkin
The memory of your kiss
The memory of your sweet caress
The memory of you love that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Got no time for tears
So long, so long
Got music in my ears
Got no time for muswell town
Gonna look around now
My old town was good to me
But oh...
Guess Ill say so long now
Dont even say a word
Ill turn my back and walk away, but oh...
The day that Ive seen everything I promise to return
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long

Didnt Mean To Turn You On
Let you take me out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I wasnt tryin to lead you on
Now you bring me home
And tell me goodnights
Not enough for you
Im sorry baby
I didnt mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasnt trying to lead you on
I want a friend
I didnt mean to turn you on
I didnt mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldnt understand
Boy I told you twice
I was only tryin to be nice
Only tryin to be nice
Oh
I didnt mean to turn you on
Oh I didnt mean to turn you on
Turn you on
Tell me why should i
Feel guilty cause I wont give
Guilty cause I wont give in
I didnt mean to turn you on
(repeat chorus)
You think that Im a fool
Cause I wouldnt play by your rules
(I didnt mean to turn you on)
You dont stand a chance
All I want to do is dance with you
(I didnt mean to turn you on)
I told you twice
I was only tryin to be nice
(I didnt mean to turn you on)
I loved you for a friend
But I guess this is the
End of our relationship
Cause I didnt mean to turn you on
I didnt mean to turn you on
Sorry.

Turn Of The Wheel
Our love could never take a middle road,
Our love is always on a tightrope.
Sometimes Im glad just to see you there,
But most times Im afraid, yes, Im afraid.
I miss you but I dont wanna tell you,
I need you but I dont want you to know.
Sometimes Im glad just to know youre here,
But most times Im afraid, yes, Im afraid.
Why didnt anybody tell me
That there were more heartaches to learn?
Why didnt anybody tell me
There were more corners to turn?
I dreamt of us, we were on a middle road,
Holding hands and going all the way.
Sometimes Im afraid, Im afraid that we are here,
But most times I hold my dream, I hold my dream.
Why didnt anybody tell me
That there were more streetlights to leave?
Why didnt anybody tell me
The turn of the wheel was never to cease?
Why didnt anybody tell me
That there were more streetlights to leave?
Why didnt anybody tell me
The turn of the wheel was never to cease?
The turn of the wheel was never to cease?

Snowball In El Paso
(trace adkins/trey bruce)
She left her boots she wears in the rain
She left her lady razor
She left a note that I cant explain
On the refrigerator
She left a book shes been reading for days
Beside her chest of drawers
She left her nightgown hanging
Behind the bathroom door
But she left me no choice as far as I can tell
When it comes to getting over her
She didnt leave me a chance in hell
Like a snowball in el paso
Like a feather in the wind
Without a prayer Ill ever find someone like her again
A fast train is comin
And my hearts a penny on the rail
No she didnt leave me a chance in hell
She left me wondering what Im gonna do
With all these pieces left of me
She left her scent all over the room
So even in the dark Id see
She left a thirsty man with no water in the well
And without a single storm cloud overhead
She didnt leave me a chance in hell
Like a snowball in el paso
Like a feather in the wind
Without a prayer Ill ever find someone like her again
A fast train is comin
And my hearts a penny on the rail
No she didnt leave me a chance in hell
A fast train is comin
And my hearts a penny on the rail
No, she didnt leave me a chance in hell
No, she didnt leave me a chance in hell

Dont Stand Another Chance
Standin at the edge of time bout to lose my mind
cause you try to take him away from me, I wont let it be
You just walk into my life and try to take away my only prize
But you better give credit cause his love is right here for me
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance
He belongs to me, just wait and see
Take him in my arms, give him love, not too much of me
Nothin you can do or say to make him look your way
So you better give credit cause its gonna come walking my way
You dont stand another chance
You dont stand another chance (ohh)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance
Sit and wait at home bout to leave me alone (I know baby)
Youll be with him when hes up, not down, to keep him on the ground
Let me tell you something, its true, hes not in love with you
So you better give credit cause its nothing coming down your way
You dont stand another chance (not a chance, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (baby) you dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
Well, you know somebodys gotta lose
We all cant win... maybe next time, okay
You guys are confusing
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (you dont stand, baby)
You dont stand another chance (another chance)

It wasnt so bad
Its only life and what youre livin for
Sit down right here

Well we dont have to talk about it much more
Good things turn bad but its over now
So dont look sad cause youre older now
Lots of people miss deirdre
Youre back again
You still have all your friends
And they used to ask me whyd you go away deirdre
Oo hoo hooo
What could I say
That you ran away
Dont you think its time that you stayed right near me
These nights, pretty nights, that were meant to be
With you and me
Its the way that we
Always had our love, deirdre
I love your red hair

Dear dear dear deirdre

Baby 1 2 3 and youre back with me

Well take a bath and then Ill laugh again with deirdre
You may not live with me every day
All that I care is that we find a way
To stay together with deirdre

Take A Chance
You take a chance and try your best
and hope things turn out right.
But the outcome from the chance you take
is not within your sight.
Do you refrain from trying
and sit still dying
because you're afraid of failure?
This has become the bane of many
and dreams are left behind.
Life itself, is a chance you know
and never will you find
anyone that knows their future.
It's as if we all are blind.
Take a chance, Give it all you've got.
Get up every day and try.
If and when you reach old age
you won't have to sit and sigh.
'If only I had taken a chance,
If only I had tried
maybe that dream from long ago
would never have died.'

I Was Glad To Give My Everything To You
(ruby hice, danny hice)
Oh I know its hard for you to say its over
Well its twice as hard for me to let you go
Out there I hope you find a softer shoulder
But before you leave theres something you should know
Chorus:
I was glad to give my everything to you
Yeah we almost made our every dream come true
And though we didnt have the chance to see it through
I was glad to give my everything to you
Oh you say you need a little room for breathing
Somehow I guess you know Id understand
And though youre hurting me
I still cant help in believing
Id be glad if I could do it all again

Oh I was glad to give my everything to you

Happiness
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Odds are on your better half
You'll be glad you placed the bet
Think it over - what's to lose?
All the odds are in your favour
Play your cards right - no excuse
You know life is what you make it
Scared to move case you get shortchanged
But nothing venture, baby - nothing gained
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Toss a coin or turn a card
Time to give those blues a rest
Play for keeps - bet your life
I see loving in your future
You'll never know if you don't try
Missionary or kama sutra?
If there's room for you to improve
There's only one thing left for you to do
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Take the plunge - leap in the dark
Put your instincts to the test
Take a gamble with your heart
Take a chance on happiness
Turn or leave me - coming start
Find out what you like the best
Take a gamble with your heart........

Rebel
He made his way back to the old town
And everything looked just the same
The shops and the schools and the factories were there
But somehow the faces had changed
So he went for a walk in the high street
Took his coat off and rolled up his sleeves
He thought of his father and his father before him
And how he was the first one to leave
Well he didnt come here for forgiveness
There isnt a lot they can say
Cause I remember the reasons he first ran away
Hes a rebel
Just a rebel
Got his back to the wall
Gonna fight til he falls
Hes a rebel
Dont ever look back - dont surrender
The old men say theyve seen it before
Oh they drink their beer and they talk about friends
Who didnt come back from the war
Dont say hes too young to remember
Dont tell him whats wrong or whats right
Just give him a chance to get out there and fight
Hes a rebel
Just a rebel
All the battles are won
But hes still on the run
Hes a rebel
When it comes time for leavin
Dont stand in my way
Theres nothin left for me here
Gonna run, run away
In the morning he walks past the old house
In the rain under grey northern sky
Theres a new coat of paint on the front garden gate
But theres more there than first meets the eye
For a moment he stands undecided
Looking back on the days of his youth
As two worlds collide in a moment of truth
Hes a rebel

One More Chance
Written by anastacia newkirk - oji pierce
Can we talk a while?
cause I need you
Lord, I miss your smile
Said, I need you
I know Im not the same, ya see
If we could only be, the way it was
Then Id never let you go
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no
Just one more chance
I know that I hurt you
Dont you realize?
Confused, thought we were through
Can I tell you that i, I never felt like this?
This pain, I cant ignore
I want you back, and Ill never let you go
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no
Just one more chance
Its not the way we planned it
Or the way its gonna be
Just give me half a chance to make your heart believe
cause I know just how you feel
I can see it in your eyes
Theres nothing in this world
That can tear this love apart
Just one more chance
I know I was wrong
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know its killing me?
Just one more chance, to sing this song
Ill never let you down, no, no, no
No no no
One more chance
Dont give up so easily
Dont you know, dont you know
Its killing me?
To sing this song
Ill never let you down
Just one more chance
One more chance
