A Few Old Memories
Just a few old memories
Slipped in through my door
Though I thought I had closed it
So tightly before
I cant understand it
Why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they dont mean nothin
Well Im surprised theyre still left
Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
Just a few old memories
Going way back in time
Well I can hardly remember
I dont know why Im cryin
I cant understand it
Well Im surprised myself
First thing tomorrow morning
Ill clean off that shelf
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they dont mean nothin
Well Im surprised that theyre left
Just a few old love letters
With their edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down

Save Your Love
You were my woman and I was your man
You were good lookin
You know I was your biggest fan
You tried to teach me things I already knew
When you couldnt reach me
Girl, I think you knew that we were through
Baby, its over
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I dont want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I dont need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf
For somebody else
You said you love me, you may have been right
But hangin above me, girl,
You know that we would fight
You tried to change me and mess up my mind
Now, dont rearrange me
And girl, you know thats why youre left behind
Its over now
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, save it, save it

Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, no
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ooh, I've got your picture hangin' on my wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call your name (When I call your name)
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me and they don't groove me
Like when I hear (When I'm in your arms)
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear (In my ear)
No other sound
Is quite the same as your name (Quite the same as your name)
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
Ooh, I've got memories (Memories) to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware (I'm well aware)
Nothin' can take the place of you being there (Being there)
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, ooh baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Better Part Of Life
Were all together once again
For the first time in I dont know when
We were so close once upon a time
There were five of us kids at home
Two girls, three boys and dad and mom
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember that old swimming hole
Where we would swim so long ago
And all them possum grapes and muskedines
And do you recall the time
We all got drunk on homemade wine
That was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How I wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember how we talked as kids
Of what wed be when we got big
And all the dreams that we held in our minds
I wanted to be a singin star
And you all said that Id go far
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember all the fun we had
Back when they say times were bad
And life was good to us and things were fine
We had fun and we had love
And a mom and dad to care for us
But that was is the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How I wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Sweet memories from the better part
Of life we left behind

Dont Back Down
The girls dig the way the guys get all wiped out
With their feet in the air you can hear em shout
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth, (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
With their feet full of tar and their hair full of sand
The boys know the beach like the palm of their hand
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
When a twenty-footer sneaks up like a ton of lead
And the crest comes along and slaps em upside the head
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
Dont back down...

Angry All The Time
(with back up by faith hill)
(bruce robison)
Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife with four good kids
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives
And Im not old but Im getting a whole lot older every day
Its too late to keep from goin crazy
Ive got to get away
The reasons that I cant stay dont have a thing to do with being in love
An I understand that lovin a man shouldnt have to be this rough
And you aint the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
Our boys are strong now the spittin image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
And I remember every time I said Id never leave
But what I cant live with is memories of the way you used to be
The reasons that I cant stay dont have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldnt have to be this rough
And you aint the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone
An sometimes I dont know why this old world cant leave well enough alone
The reasons that I cant stay dont have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldnt have to be this rough
You aint the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time
I dont know why you gotta be angry all the time

Standing In The Doorway
Im walkin through the summer nights
The jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was goin too fast
Today its movin too slow
I got no place left to turn
I got nothin left to burn
Dont know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldnt matter to you anyhow
You left me standing in the doorway cryin
I got nothin to go back to now.
The light in this place is so bad
Makin me sick in the head
All the laughter is just makin me sad
The stars have turned cherry red
Im strummin on my gay guitar
Smokin a cheap cigar
The ghost of our old love has not gone away
Dont look it like it will anytime soon
You left me standin in the doorway cryin
Under the midnight moon.
Maybe theyll get me and maybe they wont
But not tonight and it wont be here
There are things I could say, but I dont
I know the mercy of God must be near
I been ridin a midnight train
Got ice water in my veins
I would be crazy if I took you back
It would go up against every rule
You left me standin in the doorway cryin
Sufferin like a fool.
When the last rays of daylight go down
Buddy youre old no more
I can hear the church bells ringin in the yard
I wonder who theyre ringin for
I know I cant win
But my heart just wont give in
Last night I danced with a stranger
But she just reminded me you were the one
You left me standin in the doorway cryin
In the dark land of the sun.
I eat when Im hungry drink when Im dry
And live my life on the square
And even if the flesh falls off of my face
I know someone will be there to care
It always means so much
Even the softest touch
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
Theres no words that need to be said
You left me standin in the doorway cryin
Blues wrapped around my head.

Now You Dont
Guess who I saw today at our favorite round the way,
So in love, and so caught up that they didnt see me,
There in the candlelight, magic sparkled in their eyes,
For desert, sexin her at the table.
I was shocked, I was so surprised,
Took some time to realize,
Cos everything was spinning turning upside down.
I was stunned I was so confused
Wondered what to do, and so I followed their next move,
Cos it was you know who.
[chorus:]
You never saw me when you kissed tonight,
You never noticed with your eyes shut tight,
You never saw me through the window steam,
Never knew I caught you schemin.
Thought that you were creepin out of sight,
Thought that you could get it on all night,
Never saw me till I hit the lights,
Now you see me now you dont.
Guess who I saw today, where we always slipped away,
In the ride, hot inside, all the windows foggin up,
From their heavy breath, makin love in silhouette,
Didnt stop, till they got to your driveway.
I was shocked, I was so surprised,
Took some time to realize,
Cos everything was spinning, turning upside down.
I was stunned I was so confused,
Wondered what to do, and so I followed their next move,
Cos it was you know who.
[chorus:]
Dont care if youre on your knees,
Dont matter what you plead,
Take a look at what you had right here,
And watch it disappear, baby.
(now you see me, now you dont, now you dont [x2])

Everything Takes Me Back
(michael p. heeney/casey beathard/michael white)
Its a song on the radio
Its your picture on the wall in my bedroom
Its any one of a million memories
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Its every place that weve ever been
Its running into someone we both knew
Or its the face of a total stranger
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Ive called you up Ive begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So whats it gonna take, what ya wanna hear girl, I think Ive paid my dues
And it might be just but it dont seem fair that everything takes me back but you
Its a sound or its the silence
Its the thought of what Ive done
I cant undo
Or its the dream I cant put behind me
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Ive called you up Ive begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So whats it gonna take, what ya wanna hear girl, I think Ive paid my dues
And it might be just but it dont seem fair that everything takes me back but you
Its the night or its the morning
Its the thunder rolling in before it rains
Or its a long, long, long, long stretch of highway
Girl, its nothing and its everything, its everything
Everything takes me back but you
Girl, everything takes me back but you

The Better Part Of Life
We're all together once again
For the first time in i don't know when
We were so close once upon a time
There were five of us kids at home
Two girls, three boys and dad and mom
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember that old swimming hole
Where we would swim so long ago
And all them possum grapes and muskedines
And do you recall the time
We all got drunk on homemade wine
That was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember how we talked as kids
Of what we'd be when we got big
And all the dreams that we held in our minds
I wanted to be a singin' star
And you all said that i'd go far
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember all the fun we had
Back when they say times were bad
And life was good to us and things were fine
We had fun and we had love
And a mom and dad to care for us
But that was is the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past

Dont Push Me Around
(myles goodwyn)
Published by slalom publishing co. - bmi
Well you can call me a punk, I like to scrap when Im drunk
And Im just likely to cause a scene
I got an old cadillac, I like to sit in the back
And flog the dog between the covers of sex-teen
Hey man, I said now dont push me around
Hey man, Im eighteen and Ive been around
Im gonna buy me some wine, Im gonna have a good time
And dont you tell me what I shouldnt do
Cause you just dont understand, Im not a boy, Im a man
But you dont wanna hear from nothin, now do you
Hey man, I said now dont push me around
Hey man, Im eighteen and Ive been around
Well you can tell me Im right, and you can tell me Im wrong
But I dont really care what you say
Im gonna drive into town with the top rolled down
And find me someone whos been feelin the same way
Been pushed around, Ive been taken by clowns
Theyre makin millions just for fun, what a bad break
And whos to know if the show was a show
With his picture on the cover of newsweek
Now hey man, I said dont push me around
Hey man, Im eighteen and Ive been around
Hey man, I said now dont push me around
Hey man, Im eighteen and Ive been around

Dont Look Back
Time to walk away
Youve run out of things to say
Everything ends up the same old story
You dont know where love went
But nothings making sense
You both know you cant fake it anymore
Dont look back hell see you cryin
Dont look back on love thats dyin
Make believe your heart is made of stone
Dont look back into his eyes
Youve already said goodbye
Its over now; youve got to let him go
Hes the one you love
But sometimes love is not enough
Its too complicated to explain
No you never will forget
But youll get over it
Someday just sweet memories will remain
So dont look back; dont break your will
Dont look back at him until
Youre far enough to let your feelings show
Dont look back into those eyes
Youve gone back so many times
Its over now youve got to let him go
Theres a time for everything including leavin
Theres a time the heart admits defeat
And starts its grieving

Eye To Eye
I dont want to see your picture
On a faded video
I dont want to turn the clock back
To the way it used to go
Can you give me any reasons
Why I made this sacrifice?
When you thought you walked on water
You were skating on thin ice
cause we dont see eye to eye
cause we dont see eye to eye
I dont want to be a memory
Just another anglophile
I would never learn your language
Could it be theres no more time?
Is there any reason talking
bout your crazy point of view?
You cant even try to answer
The questions that I put to you
cause we dont see eye to eye
cause we dont see eye to eye

Goin Home
Midnight on a southern highway
Dont know if Im going the right way
I havent seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since Ive seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
Ive got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
Im drivin as fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my family
Goin home
And I hope that theyre still waitin there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
Youre the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
Im a man in emotion
With only one compulsion
Ive got to follow these dreams inside my heart
Im not looking for a fight
No ones wrong and no ones right
Maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
Im doin the best that I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my sanity
Goin home
And I hope that its still waitin there for me
Solo
I thought youd might understand
Im drivinas fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs

Going back where I left my family

Dont You Want Me
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on youve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But dont forget its me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I cant believe it when I hear that you wont see me
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I dont believe you when you say that you dont need me
Its much too late to find
You think youve changed your mind
Youd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew Id find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I lived my life on my own
I guess its just what I must do
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh

Choked Up
I dont know why we cant talk
Every time we try we get choked up
Running with the feelings that get caught in our head
til I cant remember what it was we said
All my friends say Im in love
is this what I think theyre thinking of?
I dont know why we cant win
Every time we lose we just pretend
Running out of money at the end of the month
Not able to buy the things I want
All my friends say Im in love
Is this what I think theyre thinking of?
Count my friends on my left hand
I dont even know they wouldnt understand
Taint myself with thoughts of leaving
Running out of things left to believe in
Running out of money and time
Running out of money and time
You wont be mine
I dont know why we cant win
Every time we lose we just pretend
Running out of money at the ned of the month
Not able to buy the things I want

Property
My bags are packed, I guess its time for me to go.
I cant say where Im headed, cause I just dont know.
When I think of what Ill be losing,
Its hard to move along,
But its harder just to stay here,
Knowing that I dont belong.
Ill be in touch, dont worry, Ill be calling you.
Ive got no plans, Im not sure where Im going to.
Its hard to keep from crying,
After all that weve been through.
Ive taken everything I need,
Now all thats left belongs to you.
You take the photographs, the ones of you and me,
When we both posed and laughed to please the family.
Nobody noticed then we wanted to be free,
And now theres no more love,
Its just the property.
Its hard to keep from crying,
After all that weve been through.
Now that its all over, now that you and I are free,
Now theres nothing left except the bit of property.
Started off with nothing, started off just you and me,
Now that its all over you can keep the property.
And all the little gifts we thought wed throw away,
The useless souvenirs bought on a holiday.
We put them on a shelf, now theyre collecting dust.
We never needed them, but they outlasted us.
