I SHOULD'VE CALLED 

Spent a week in Houston and watched it rain
Spent a day in Dallas missing planes
Lord, it sure was cold up in Montreal
I thought of you, I should`ve called

Acapulco, lying in the sun
Spending all my gold drinking lots of rum
Mexicali women, tan and tall
Wish you were here, I should`ve called.

In spite of all my good intentions
I am the one who built the wall
All by myself, who'd of ever thought
I sure miss you, I should`ve called.

California is nice this time of year
Colorado's fine and they got good beer
Back in Tennessee it`s an early fall
I still love you, I should`ve called.

I still love you, I should`ve called....

I SLEEP JUST LIKE A BABY 

By now I guess she's wondering how I'm doing
If it broke my heart when she told me goodbye
Well, every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry.

I bet she don't think I'm going miss her
Probably think she's always on my mind
But every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry.

She believes that I can't live with out her
And it hurts so bad sometimes I almost die
Well, every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry.

--- Instrumental ---

(Spoken)
You know I'll bet way down deep
That she thinks that I'll always love her
And I'll bet she thinks I'll never love another
No matter how hard I try.

(Sang)
'Cause every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry.

Lord, every night I sleep just like a little bitty baby
I wake up every hour and cry...

I STAYED LONG ENOUGH 

Accident'ly in your arms and that's all it took
Knowing how you want and need me with just one look
To leave you now is something you should know that I can't do
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
Long enough to know that what I feel won't go away
Just lookin' won't be near enough after today
Everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you
Yes everything I need...
I stayed just long enough to fall in love with you

I STILL HOLD HER BODY 

She comes to me so excited and I keep waiting for
The feeling to come flowing out once more
But even with her in my arms I feel so left behind
'Cause I still hold her body but I think I lost her mind...

I don't know where her fault goes while the rest of hers with me
She's just going through the motions, wait for me
You know she has her pride and Lord knows I have mine
'Cause I still hold her body but I think I lost her mind.

And I think I've lost her will to let her know that I lnow
'Cause she thinks she found a way that it won't show
But she does me this favor and loves me one more time
Yes, I still hold her body but I think I lost her mind

Yes, I still hold her body but I know I lost her mind
I lost her mind...

I STILL SING THE OLD SONGS 

Grandpa, I've been thinking 'bout you lately
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind
And I guess that you'd be proud to know your grandson
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line.

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
An' I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that He would save me
To see the day the south will rise again.

Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly
Long before I turned into a man
And buried with our flag across his casket
I was still too young to understand.

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
An' I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that he would save me
To see the day the south will rise again.

Mama spent her last days in the garden
While I took my turn behind a gun
Lord, I'd give my life to find the freedom
Lost within the old songs that you sung.

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
An' I still pray to Jesus now and then
And just like you I wish that He would save me
To see the day the south will rise again.

I STOPPED LIVING YESTERDAY 

It can?t hurt me I stopped livin? yesterday

Let the icy cold wind blow
Let it rain let it snow
Let a hurtin? heartache move inside to stay

Let the shoes ware off my feet
Let me sleep out in the street
It can?t hurt me I stopped livin? yesterday

You were every reason I had left to live
But yesterday a stranger offered more than I could give

I don?t care which road I take
Or how much misery?s in my way
It can?t hurt me I stopped livin? yesterday

You were every reason I had left to live
But yesterday a stranger offered more than I could give

I don?t care which road I take
Or how much misery?s in my way
It can?t hurt me I stopped livin? yesterday

It can't hurt me I stopped livin? yesterday

I TAKE THE CHANCE 

I'll take the chance
To lose my soul, my life, my pride
I'll take the chance
To be with you.

I tried to live
My life the best I can
I prayed I'd never cheat
To heed
My hearts command

But did you know
You are my tried and true?
I wonder if you think
I'd do the same by you

I'll take the chance
Of causing you to doubt my love
I'll take the chance
To be with you.

--- Instrumental ---

I know it's wrong
For us to
And when you hold me in
Your arms I can't resist.

I have a home
And some one tried and true
I know I'll lose it all
If I would dream of you.

I'll take the chance
To lose my soul, my life, my pride
I'll take the chance
To be with you...

I THINK I'LL JUST STAY HERE AND DRINK 

Could be holding you tonight
Could quit doin' wrong, start doin' right
You don't care about what I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink.

Hey, putting you down don't square no deal
Least you'll know the way I feel
Take all the money in the bank
Think I'll just stay here and drink.

Listen close and you can hear
That loud jukebox playing in my ear
Ain't no woman gonna change the way I think
I think I'll just stay here and drink.

Hurtin' me now don't mean a thing
Since love ain't here I don't feel no pain
My mind ain't nothing but a total blank
I think I'll just stay here and drink...

I THREW AWAY THE ROSE 

Once I lived a life of wine and roses
I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friend would help me make the turn

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
For I kept the wine and threw away the rose

I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I planned
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
As I slowly watched the bottle take command

And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
For I kept the wine and through away the rose

I TURN TO YOU 

Rivers turn to oceans and flow on to the sea, embers turn to ashes, and love to memories. Rain turns to rainbows and gray skies turn to blue. But when the world turns on me I turn to you.

A thirsty man needs water. A bluebird needs the sky. A man needs his woman or he'll wither up and die. Roses need sunshine. Violets need the dew. But not half as much as I need you.

Deep in my soul, and always on my mind, forever in my heart, you're the light that shines. Someone to hold when no one else will do. When the world turns on me I turn to you. When the world turns on my I turn to you.
