Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president
Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
Chorus
Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

I've been livin' on truck stop coffee, cigarettes and vitamin C
It's a wonder that the devil ain't caught me
I guess he's tired of playin' hide-n-seek
I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline
CHORUS
If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from Tupelo to Timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do
Box of chicken and a day old biscuit
Ain't nothin' left but a few old bones
I outta stop but I'm gonna risk it
Caffeine got me chewin' Styrofoam
Girl I'm callin' out of Kansas City
From a fillin' station telephone
Just had to tell you what I've been thinkin'
First thing I wanna do when I get home
CHORUS
BREAK
Yeah I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline
CHORUS
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.
Dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free
But it sure is hard to do
It sure is hard to do
I know they say if you don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
Those words don't pull me through
Cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill
climbin' up a hill
CHORUS
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
No matter how hard I try
I always make you cry
Come on, baby, it's over¡let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
But I know without a doubt
We turned it inside out
And if we walked away
It would make more sense
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we could still try
How long must we keep running on a carousel
Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer
CHORUS
Long goodbye
Long goodbye

That burning sunset in the sky
Is calling out to us tonight
I won't work for my old man
Anymore that you fit into your mammas plan
There's a place for people like you and me
True love's still got room to breathe
And we can drive all night
Into the morning light
Let's go west
It's our ticket out of here
Yeah we can disappear
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Let's go west
It's hard to leave this place behind
Got memories turning in my mind
Little white house with a picket fence
That protected small town innocence
But it seems like an even trade to me
That security for our destiny
Yeah we can drive all night
Till the morning light
Let's go west
A place that we can go
Where the tall dreams grow
Let's go west
And we'll find a place to call our own
There's somewhere out there we belong
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Repeat 2nd Chorus
Yeah let's go west
Oh let's go west
Oh let's go west
Yeah let's go west

Maybe it was the moonlight
The scent of you on the breeze
Maybe it was your shadow that fell over me
Such a beautiful stranger
Eyes darker than coal
Your first look crossed the desert
Into my soul
Mi Corzon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you
Maybe it was the music
The way it moved with your hair
Or the heat of the moment
That hung in the air
But when I saw you there dancing
Mesmerized by the gaze
There was some kind of magic
That led me away

Some girls go to church on Sunday
Live life by the golden rule
You got girls gonna graduate one day
Suma cum laude from party school
Some they walk the straight and narrow
Some girls they just don't care
Good girls go to heaven
Bad girls¡. go everywhere
Some girls are into heavy metal
Dance with the devil everywhere they go
Others of ¡®em cut a rug to the fiddle
Dance to the rhythm of the cotton eyed Joe
CHORUS
Miss high fullutin' likes to sip fine champagne
Prim and proper drippin' in diamond rings
Little sister wears high heals and blue jeans
A long neck drinkin' certified wild thang
CHORUS
Good girls go to heaven bad girls go everywhere

(Tom Douglas/Wayland Holyfield)
Saw an old friend last night I hadn't seen in a couple of years
Stopped in Galatoire's had a couple of beers
Talked about the price of oysters, the coach at LSU
Then like I knew it would the conversation turned to you
He had to go and I looked at my watch, it was 1:45
I headed down canal, the quarter was coming alive
A man on the corner told me that Jesus is coming soon
But I was lost in the music and the crowd and the smell of cheap perfume
It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And I walked down by the river in the cold gray dawn
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone
The line was long at CafЁ¦ Du Monde so I walked out on the pier
Thought about all the winds and turns and mistakes that got me here
Might as well try to change the course this old river takes
Than to go back in time when you were mine, pretend it's not late
It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And what I'd give to go back but the current's just too strong
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone
Repeat 2nd chorus
Yeah she's gone
. . .

Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
Your dance, your drive, You make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease
Right now I think you see
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me

(Steve Diamond/Keith Follese')
I know you know
Just how it goes when it goes
And how it feels
To be lost and left alone on your own
And what it's like
To give all you got and have to stand and watch it
As it walks away
So everyone deserves a chance to live and learn
From mistakes
That we make and hearts that break and bridges burn
Starting now
From this moment on nothing's gonna go wrong
Love is here to stay
You'll never be without
You'll always have enough
When you're in my arms
You'll never go unloved
As long as there is time
And for all of it to come
No matter where you go
I want you to know
You'll never be unloved
So in this life we lead
Some things are guaranteed
You can
Count on the fact that hearts won't act responsibly
Now and then
Comes a love that's heaven sent and meant to be
So baby look at me
Chorus

That wasn't me at a quarter to three back in our backyard
Tearing up the roses and the home grown tomatoes in my new car
Those bottles in the driveway and the bottles in the hall
Well I don't know where they came from
It must be burglars in the neighborhood
I sure hope they catch those bums
I know you've got your own version of the truth
There's only three things left now I can do
Deny, Deny, Deny
Well I was allegedly dropped
By a truck stop waitress at our front door
Now who you gonna believe
Your sweet lovin' daddy or those lying eyes of yours
That lipstick on my collar
That you found this morning well that's not lipstick at all
I was just in a hurry to get back to you honey
Had myself a little fall
Oh yeah you've got your own version of the truth
There's only three things left now I can do
Deny, Deny, Deny
Oh please don't answer the phone
Hey ain't it great being home and alone like this
That cigarette voice asking for her big boy
Why should I know who that is
Yeah I know it looks bad but
You're lookin' at a victim of a circumstance or two
Oh what is it now seems like nothing I do ever pleases you
1st CHORUS
Deny, deny, deny

Girl you've got lonely written all over you
I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lonely you
Must be in the cards
Fate played a part
Brought us here tonight
Heaven must have lined the stars up in the sky just right
Chorus
Who knows the right song, a slow dance
Might heal your heartache
Somethin' tells me I don't know
I just might be here to save the day
Chorus
Girl you've got Oh you've got lonely written all over you
I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lonely you

I breeze through the day
And nothin' much seems to get in my way
I don't have a care at all
You walk in the room
It's always the same
You call out my name
I turn
You smile
I fall
I'm at home at night
Just me and the moon
But doin' all right
When out of the blue you call
I hang up the phone
I lay down in bed
Your still in my head
I dream
You smile
I fall
Oh what could this feeling be
Could it really be love
That's happening to me
Oh yeah yeah
The closer you get
The harder it is to keep it together
I don't have a chance at all
It's out of my hands
Oh but what can I do
I'm crazy for you
We touch
You Smile
I fall
Oh Yeah
We touch
You smile
I fall

(Kim Richey/Angelo/Tom Littlefield)
Once upon a time
Somewhere in your past
Someone said forever
But that promise didn't last
Now you don't believe
Love is ever true
Steel yourself against the day
When I stopped loving you
When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry
For every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound
I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby
Should you ever fall
Chorus
Chorus
And every river run dry

It started with a dare at a bar in Sarasota
A spring break party miles from Minnesota
Jane was with her friends to mark a celebration
Phi Beta Kappa for her college graduation
A little pomp and circumstance
See Jane dance
The bouncer led the ladies to an open-air cabana
A sea of Coppertone's and Hawaiian Tropicana's
A slew of southern beauties were causin' a commotion
Oilin' up their skin to win a trip across the ocean
Jane had never been to France
See Jane dance
She jumped up on the stage and after many margaritas
She took her place in line amongst the tanned senioritis
She tore into a groove and lost her inhibition
Stirrin' up the crowd, she blew away the competition
In her leopard underpants
See Jane dance
Now she drives a Beamer that was bartered for a gig in Barcelona
A Harley that was payment from the bikers in Daytona
She's heavily invested her stock is on the run
Be worth a couple million by the time she's thirty-one
So before you miss your chance
See Jane dance
Yeah she'll put ya in a trance
See Jane dance
Dance
Dance
