Nickel Dreams
(mac mcnally, donny lowery)
A little girls dream world with ribbons and long curls
Reflections of yesterdays past
Now headlines and foot lights
The hours of long nights keep everything
Moving so fast
Its taken a long time
And shes walked a thin line
The fame and fortune arrived
She kept on striving
Way of surviving
Till part of those dreams came alive
Chorus:
And she wishes she looks like
They tell her she looks like all the time
What shed give just to feel like
She tells them shes feeling
Just fine
All that money she makes every night
Aint as much as it seems
A dollar a wrinkle and less then a nickel a dream
Her heart may be breaking
But she keeps on taking
What she thought she wanted way back when
Its too late to change her
Theres always a stranger
To tell her shes someone again
Repeat chorus
Nickel a dream

Something In The Way She Moves
Something in the way she moves
Theres something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If Im feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
Shes around me now
Almost all the time.
n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
n(and) shes been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.___________
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:
It isnt what shes got to say
Or how she thinks or where shes been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
A-shes around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
And shes been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine.___________

Is There Life Out There
(susan longacre, rick giles)
She married when she was twenty
She thought she was ready
Now shes not so sure
She thought shed done some living
But now shes just wonderin
What shes living for
Now shes feeling that theres something more
Chorus:
Is there life out there
So much she hasnt done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
Shes done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesnt want to leave
Shes just wonderin
Is there life out there
Shes always lived for tomorrow
Shes never learned how
To live for today
Shes dyin to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change
Repeat chorus
Theres a place in the sun that shes never been
Where life is fair and time is a friend
Would she do it the same as she did back then
She looks out the window and wonders again
Repeat chorus twice

Dream Walkin
(toby keith/chuck cannon)
She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle
On a table beside my bed
With a short little note that said I had a good time
It was written in lipstick red
She didnt sign her name I wonder
If that a little secret that she keeps
Ooo... shes walkin around in my sleep
Dream walkin, pillow talkin
Shes callin my name again
Days breakin I aint wakin up, Im sleepin in
Im on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends
She took my new sunglasses and my old jean jacket
And she never even bothered to ask
You could say I havent seen her since late last summer
But every night she comes back
Just like smoke through the keyhole
She slips in so silently
Ooo... shes walkin around in my sleep
Dream walkin, pillow talkin
Shes callin my name again
Days breakin I aint wakin up, Im sleepin in
Im on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
Ooo... theres a thin line between dreams and memories
Ill be losin my mind till she comes back to me
Dream walkin, pillow talkin
Shes callin my name again
Days breakin I aint wakin up, Im sleepin in
Im on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
Im on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
Im on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
Shes walkin around in my sleep
Shes walkin around in my sleep

Shes The One
With her killer graces and her secret places
That no boy can fill with her hands on her hips
Oh and that smile on her lips
Because she knows that it kills me
With her soft french cream
Standing in that doorway like a dream
I wish shed just leave me alone
Because french cream wont soften them boots
And french kisses will not break that heart of stone
With her long hair falling
And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun
Oh-o shes the one, shes the one
That thunder in your heart
At night when youre kneeling in the dark
It says youre never gonna leave her
But theres this angel in her eyes
That tells such desperate lies
And all you want to do is believe her
And tonight youll try just one more time
To leave it all behind and to break on through
Oh she can take you, but if she wants to break you
Shes gonna find out that aint so easy to do
And no matter where you sleep tonight or how far you run
Oh-o shes the one, shes the one
Oh-o and just one kiss
Shed fill them long summer nights
With her tenderness that secret pact you made
Back when her love could save you from the bitterness
Oh shes the one, oh shes the one
Oh shes the one, oh shes the one
Oh shes the one, oh shes the one

Gone As A Girl Can Get
Well I havent seen her lately
And she never calls
She dont ask my friends about me
Gives no clues at all
That a fire might still be burnin, yeah
Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get
She dont even show up in my dreams at night
But my stubborn old memory keeps holdin on tight
Sure makes it hard to forget
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Chorus:
Shes out of here
She disappeared without a trace
More or less unimpressed
By the tears on my face
Destination unknown
She just dropped out of sight
Last seen headin right on out of my life
Like a stranger I aint never met
Shes about as gone as a girl can get
Repeat chorus

Well Id say shes about as gone as a girl can get

Lover In Disguise
Theres a secret that I know about the lady that I love so
And Im the only one shes shown her secret to
Shes gentle and shes kind
Shes proper and refine
But she lets down more than her hair
Alone in our room
Chorus:
Cause shes more than a lady
And theres a fire that burns behind those eyes
Shes more than a lady
And every night when we lay down
And she slips off her satin gown
Oh, she proves shes a lover in disguise
Shes a lover in disguise
When we go out somewhere
The men may stop and stare
But they see shes a lady
So they leave her alone
Shes more than she seems
And in their wildest dreams
They could never dream of what its like to take her home
Repeat chorus
Shes a lover in disguise

Easy Money
(corky laing/ian hunter)
Once upon a time
She was the virgin of a million lonely minds
And now its such a crying shame
She does not even know her name
No-one ever knew
All the heavy changes shes been going through
All the sons and lovers on her mind
Cos easy moneys hard to find
Ive been searching
All night long
You know, shes been searching all night long
Easy money
She gets down on her knees
Shes begging you please
Cos she needs
Easy money
Shes out on a run
She needs someone can she please
Nightmare rides
A shadow limps across the great sunrise
And steals the hope that lies behind her eyes
In a sense its hard to find
Ive been searching
All night long
You know, shes been searching all night long
Easy money
She gets down on her knees
Shes begging you please
Cos she needs
Easy money
Shes out on a run
Shes looking for someone to plead
Easy money
Easy money
She aint no fool
Shes breaking her rule
And she knows
Easy money
Shes out on a run
Shes looking for someone who shows
Easy money
Shes out on her own
Shes looking for someone to plead
Easy money

Queen Of The Masquerade Ball
She lays her cards out on the table
She always gets what shes going for--and a whole lot more
Got the movers and the shakers
Quaking inside their mohair shoes
After all theres nothing to lose
(chorus)
Cracking that whip
Making her own decisions
Taking no lip
Living with no conditions
Theres only one thing that shes missing
She never tells anybody--shes missing it more and more each night
And though she cries when shes alone
By the morning shes ready to go
Shes got the light
Chorus
Everythings fine
Just as long as they do it her way
Living with style
Shes got it all
Hail to the queen of the masquerade ball
And though she cries when shes alone
By the morning shes ready to go
Shes got the light

Just as long as they do it her way

Nickel Romeo
Hey sugar I had that dream again
I saw you in your red crushed velvet suit
Rolling on my feather bed
A cheshire cat in yellow beatle boots
(but) whos that stranger lying in your arms
Her fingers running down your tattooed chest
Valentinos cranking up the charm
And its coming like a freight train
These pictures in my head
Hey mister nickel romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey mister
Tell me mister, whats your game?
Falling, yes she will fall
Your latest victim bites her lip and sighs
Shes do these nasty things for you
Insinuating kisses on the sly
Oh I remember how you get your kicks
Preying on the innocent at night
Strange desperation-you gotta cop that fix
Making every little girl is keeping you alive
Hey mister nickel romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey mister
Tell me mister, whats your game
Oh nickel romeo you got no shame
Hey mister nickel romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey mister
Tell me mister, whats your game?
Hey mister nickel romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey mister
Youre the master of this game
Because you got no shame
I think Im going insane
And youre to blame...

My American Dream
Author unknown (sung by dan peek)
Found on heard.
I always thought that I wanted a long, new, shiny cadillac
That a real man wears five hundred dollar suits upon his back
I always thought that I needed a big, old house with a million dollar view
But baby, since we fell in love, all I needed is you
Waking up (waking up) to my american dream
Shes a long haired, blue eyed, country girl
Shes better than a fantasy
Waking up (waking up) to my american dream
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me
Shes pretty as the moonlight on the gulf of mexico
And her heart is pure and true as any california gold
I put her on a pedastel like lady liberty
Know there is no finer girl from sea to shining sea
Im waking up (waking up) to my american dream
Shes a long haired, blue eyed, country girl
Shes better than a fantasy
Waking up (waking up) to my american dream
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me
Waking up (waking up) to my american dream
Shes a real live, blue eyed, country girl
The best thing Ive ever seen
And I would not trade the whole wide world
For what she means to me
Im waking up (waking up) to my american dream
Im waking up (Im waking up) to my american dream

Shes All I Ever Had
Here I am
Broken wings
Quist thoughts
Unspoken dreams
Here I am
Alone again
And I need her now
To hold my hand
Chorus
Shes all, shes all I ever had
Shes the air I breathe
Shes all, shes all I ever had
Its the way she makes me feel
Its the only thing thats real
Its the way she understands
Shes my lover, shes my friend
And when I look into her eyes
Its the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
Shes all Ill ever need
So much time
So much pain(but)
Theres one thing
That still remains (its the)
The way she cared
The love we shared
And through it all
Shes always been there
Shes all, shes all I ever had
In a world so cold, so empty
Shes all, shes all I ever had
Its the way she makes me feel
Its the only thing thats real
Its the way she understands
Shes my lover, shes my friend
And when I look into her eyes
Its the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
Shes all Ill ever need

Shes Single Again
(charlie craig, peter mccann)
I just got to tell you what I saw last night
I wish I was guessing but I know that Im right
She walked in the place with a smile on her face
And I wondered why she was alone
Every man watched her as she swayed on by
The way she was looking every woman could cry
Then I saw her sit down with a lawyer
And I knew what was going on
Chorus:
Shes single again
Hold on to your man
Shell make us worry and cry
And bring us broken lives
And heartaches that never end
Shes single again
Shes no womans friend
Shes making her move
Shes got nothing to lose
Oh look out
Shes single again
Is this number 4
Is this number 5
How many husbands has she buried alive
She uses the favors that the good lord gave her
With the devils desire
Well I bet shes thinking
Shes on top of the world
And Ive seen her working
So Im warning you girls
Shes single again
Shes got a way with men
But she better get away from mine
cause (repeat chorus)
Yeah shes making her move
Shes got nothing to lose
Oh look out
Shes single again

And She Was
And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
Shes making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbors house
Now shes starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes
The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was
And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all
Up above the yard
Chorus
She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isnt sure where shes gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what shes done
And she was
And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
Shes moving out in all directions
Chorus
Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)
Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)

Shes Not The Same
Ah the living aint easy
With all of these false emotions
Too little devotion
And Im tired of just
Being alone, shes just not the same
Shes a son of a gun, shes a red hot flame
She lights the sun and conjures up the rain
Like any good gambler
I was chained to a wishing well
I keep wishing in vain
But listen friend
Dont look now, shes right behind you
Looking for someone to take her inside
It thrills her so, its a rainbow ride
Im a little uneasy
And there aint much pride inside me
She dont know how it hurts
And Im telling you
Its too late now, shes not the same
Shes a red hot kid, shes a crying shame
Anytime is the right time
To get on with a new tomorrow
But I could never let yesterday go
And when the falling rain makes me sad
She comes to me in the dreams Ive had
In the morning light, in the dead of night
Ah the lovin aint easy
An I let it get the best of me
She dont know how it hurts
And Im telling you
Its too late now, she dont talk no more
She dont make me feel like she did before
Theres too much wait and too much give and take
Im a little uneasy
And there aint much pride inside me
She dont know how it hurts
And Im telling you its
Too late now, shes just not the same
Its too late now, shes not the same
Its too late now, shes not the same

Hard Way
Im moving in
Shes moving out to los angeles
Shes got a truck; shes got my stuff
Packed into it
Just seven months
Was just enough
Of putting up with me
Imagine that
A baseball bat upside her tv
She says she needs some therapy
[chorus:]
You know it seemed so simple before
She could have asked
I would have given her anything
And now its 1, 2, 3
Blame it all on me
And I had to find it out the hard way
She calls me up
Shes breaking down
In los angeles
She misses home
Shes all alone
She cant handle it
But seven months was just enough
Of putting up with her
Youre brand new nose & bigger boobs
Dont change a thing
You need some therapy
I think you need some help
[chorus]
Shes got a lot to figure out
Shes got a lot to think about
Shes got a lot to forget about
Shes got a lot to live without
So many things to miss about me

Rare, Precious & Gone
Cry baby boy, not tears of joy
The one you held is no longer your toy
Shes got her new boots and her make up on
You can call her your friend
But not your lover again
Shes made it clear as air that this affair is at an end
So what are you doing holding on?
Dont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
She was soft in your hands, now shes shattered your plans
Im sympathetic but youve got to understand
You tried to squeeze her somewhere
She just dont belong
She was being sincere when she breathed in your ear
As long as there were stars in the night sky shed be near
Even angels get it wrong!
Wont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Its a subtle trap
Seeding guilt in her mind
But she aint taking your crap
This time
Boy youre out on a line...
Shes a queen among women, a child among queens
The finest thing that your lovesick eyes have ever seen
Shes a rose without a thorn
Shes a peach, shes a prize
A gift in disguise
Shes graceful and colourful and when she grows
Shell be wise
But most of all my friend, shes gone
Gone, gone gone!
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Rare, precious and shes gone
Yes, shes rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Gone, gone gone...

The Camels Heart
You come to me with teardrops in your eyes
Expecting me to listen to your lies
You want me to forget and to forgive
Enough, enough, this aint no way to live
I know you wonder why Id leave like this
After all the hurt Ive put up with
This is the last time, this is the last straw
Too late, too late now its your time to crawl
Chorus:
Shes just the straw that broke the camels heart
Its not her fault, its yours we fell apart
No more, Im done, I want a brand new start

This time you drew the short end of the straw

She dont cast no shadow because shes so thin
Never knows where she going but she knows were shes been

Hung Up & Overdue
Im so hung up Im gonna go see her tonight
Im so hung up I cant get her out of my mind
Could it be just stars in my eyes
Could it be this wont happen twice
Were overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
Were overdue for a dream come true
She said shes going to move to california on day
Said shes going out on safari to stay
Shes tired of her job and the snow
We both need somewhere to go
Were overdue for a dream come true
Long time, nothing new
Were overdue for a dream come true
Im so hung up on her now
Im so strung out on her now
A gift from the sun to the moon
I hope something changes soon
