Get ready baby, we're going uptown
It's friday night, we're gonna get down
I thought you might like this brand new baby-blue dress
I figured out about a quarter 'til ten
We'll be partied out and headin' in
You and me alone darlin' doing what we do best

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'Cuz I'm in love with you
Big time

A little music, a sip of champagne
By candlelight, just doin' our thing
Let the crowd wonder what in the world happened to us
Well they can boogie woogie all night long
Let 'em dance 'til the cows come home
For what we want this old honky tonk ain't enough

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'Cuz I'm in love with you
Big time

Girl I'm talkin' about a....

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'Cuz I'm in love with you
Big time

Yeah I'm in love with you
Big time
Big time
Big time
I'm talkin' large

(Mark Nesler/Byron Hill)

I'm not sure what I did just yet
But something kicked in on the night we met
Look's like her hearts out of control
What she's gonna do next, I don't know
She's already dreaming about a house on the hill
How does she think we're gonna pay those bills
When all I can afford is a two room shack
I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

Now where did my fishing magazines go
Everywhere I look there's another Cosmo
Flowers in the kitchen and a new bedspread
Now you tell me, was it something I said
Even old blue's taking it rough
She clipped his nails and powdered him up
Her mind's running on a one way track
I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

Where's that girl that I used to know
The one who said we'd better take it slow
What on earth do I do now
To put her feet back on the ground

She goes to the mall but she never says why
She brings home things that a man won't buy
I've already told her enough's enough
Now what are we gonna do with all this stuff
She bought a bunch of soap that she won't let me use
A toilet seat cover and hand towels too
The kind you don't touch, just leave 'em on the rack
I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

Where's that girl that I used to know
The one who said we'd better take it slow
What on earth do I do now
To put her feet back on the ground

She's already dreaming about a house on the hill
Now how does she think we're gonna pay those bills
When all I can afford is a two room shack
I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back
Lord, I took her to the moon and I can't bring her back

There's no guarantee that we'll see tomorrow
Heaven only knows how long we have
So there's no way I'll ever for one second let you wonder
Just how long my love for you will last

'Til my last breath, 'til I'm called on high
'Til the angels come and I see the light
To the very end, 'til I give in
To the last beat of my heart
No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine

'Til my last breath, 'til I'm called on high
'Til the angels come and I see the light
To the very end, 'til I give in
To the last beat of my heart
No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine

No I can't swear that I'll be here for the rest of your life
But I swear I'll love you for the rest of mine

(Trace Adkins/Trey Bruce)

She left her boots she wears in the rain
She left her lady razor
She left a note that I can't explain
On the refrigerator
She left a book she's 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 didn't leave me a chance in hell

Like a snowball in El Paso
Like a feather in the wind
Without a prayer I'll ever find someone like her again
A fast train is comin'
And my heart's a penny on the rail
No she didn't leave me a chance in hell

She left me wondering what I'm gonna do
With all these pieces left of me
She left her scent all over the room
So even in the dark I'd see
She left a thirsty man with no water in the well
And without a single storm cloud overhead
She didn't leave me a chance in hell

Like a snowball in El Paso
Like a feather in the wind
Without a prayer I'll ever find someone like her again
A fast train is comin'
And my heart's a penny on the rail
No she didn't leave me a chance in hell

A fast train is comin'
And my heart's a penny on the rail
No, she didn't leave me a chance in hell
No, she didn't leave me a chance in hell

(Porter Howell/Tim Nichols)

Dick and Jane don't talk anymore, Jane lays awake
Wishin' it could be like it was before
Finally one night, she got tough
Dick came home, and she was packin' her stuff

See Jane run, see Dick cry
He's standin' in the street with his hands in the air
Goin' why Jane, why
She don't look back, she's seen enough
Close the book, the story's done, see Jane run

Dick's tore up, deep down inside
Jane feels good, there ain't a tear in her pretty blue eyes
Red taillights, fade out of sight
Spot's in the back, he's just along for the ride

See Jane run, see Dick cry
He's standin' in the street with his hands in the air
Goin' why Jane, why
She don't look back, she's seen enough
Close the book, the story's done, see Jane run

See Jane run, see Dick cry
He's standin' in the street with his hands in the air
Goin' why Jane, why
She don't look back, she's seen enough
Close the book, the story's done, see Jane run

Yeah, close the book, the story's done
See Jane run, oh see Jane run, see Jane run

(J.B. Rudd/Vip Vipperman)

I've got this craving around the clock
And it's got a hold on me
I've had it bad since the moment we met
I can't get no relief

You're the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time

Twenty-four, seven
You're the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
I'm in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven

Every night when I go to sleep
In my dreams there you are
You're the first thing I think about
And that's how the morning starts

It seems like everything I say and do
Is all about me being in love with you

Twenty-four, seven
You're the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
I'm in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven

You're the only train of thought on my one track mind
Going ninety miles an hour baby all the time

Twenty-four, seven
You're the only thing that matters to me
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
I'm in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four, seven

I'm in heaven
Twenty-four, seven
Twenty-four hours girl, every day
Seven long days a week
I'm in heaven, heaven
Twenty-four seven
Twenty-four seven girl

I cant take back, the things i said, to you in the past.
Or make you forget, the reasons why, we didnt last.
Im haunted by what might of been, still i cant change who
i was back then

(chours)
But if i could hold you now, you'd see ive turned myself around,
and now im someone you'd be proud to love.
I'de do all the right things, make promises that ide keep
It'd hurt too much to let you down
and in my arms there'd be no room for doubt,
if I could hold you now

Its funny how, this empty room, makes it all to clear
When I let you leave, a part of me, just dissapeared
But if ide known then what ive come to know,
theres no way i could of let you go

(chorus)
But if I could hold you now you'd see ive turned myself around,
and now im someone you'd be proud to love.
Ide do all the right things, make promises that I'de keep
It'd hurt to much to let you down
and in my arms, there'd be no room for doubt
If I could hold you now

But if i'de known now what ive come to know,
there'd be no way i could of let you go

(chorus)
If I could hold you now
repeat 3x

(Bob DiPiero/Gerry House/Devon O'Day)

She used to sit in the passenger seat
Tappin' on the dash with her bare feet
Poppin' that gum and paintin' her toenails blue
She'd turn on the radio and crank it up
That girl could never get it loud enough
She'd make up words to songs she thought she knew

Yeah saturday nights we'd lead the parade
Of tricked out Fords and Chevrolets
We'd cruise through town and head down to the lake
Well I was hangin' with the boys a little bit later
Talkin' 'bout tires and carburetors
When I happened to see my whole world drive away

Now I've got nothin' but taillights
Nothin' but goodbye
Nothin' but leavin' goin' on
And I'm nothin' but sorry
Got nothin' but memories
She's nothin' but taillights gone

I ain't sayin' she stole that car
But that was May and this is March
And all I get are tickets in the mail
She was doin' eighty-five in Tennessee
Clocked in Kansas doin' ninety-three
I just hope she lets me post her bail

Cause I've got nothin' but taillights
Nothin' but goodbye
Nothin' but leavin' goin' on
And I'm nothin' but sorry
Got nothin' but memories
She's nothin' but taillights gone...come back baby

I've got nothin' but taillights
Nothin' but goodbye
Nothin' but leavin' goin' on
And I'm nothin' but sorry
Got nothin' but memories
She's nothin' but taillights gone

Lord she's nothin' but taillights gone

I can't see you
But I can feel
Like a scar that
Just won't heal
Blue-eyed gypsy
You're still with me
Everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone
You're everywhere I go
Lonely won't leave me alone

Another highway
One more town
I tried to lose you
But you tracked me down
Like the moonlight on a dark night
You're down every winding road
Lonely won't leave me alone
Down every winding road
Lonely won't leave me alone

I know you told me our love's dead and gone
But here in my heart is lives on and on

You're every sad song
All night long
On my radio
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely
Won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely

(Steven Dale Jones/Doug Nichols)

Last night you were here again, third time this week
You always slip in when I'm asleep
I thought those old feelings would be long gone by now
Why in the world do you bother to come back around

You're out of my arms
You're out of my life
Out of every thought
That I let cross my mind
You're out of my hopes
That it might be you every time the telephone rings
But will I ever get you out of my dreams

There we were making wishes on evening stars
Promises sealed with kisses straight from our hearts
But then I woke up to reality again
Even the sweetest dreams come to an end

You're out of my arms
You're out of my life
Out of every thought
That I let cross my mind
You're out of my hopes
That it might be you every time the telephone rings
But will I ever get you out of my dreams

But will I ever get you out of my dreams

(Trace Adkins/Scott Hendricks)

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over to Jordan
I'm only going over home
Yes, Lord

I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over to Jordan
I'm only going over to home
Goin' home now
Oh, somebody show me the way home
