Cast Iron Heart
(written by Dennis Linde)

Go on and cry - but you won't change my mind
Your pain and troubles don't concern me
I gave you my love - but it was not enough
I was just your bridge and girl you burned me

(Chorus)
So don't hand me no hard luck story
Hopin' I'll just fall apart
Remember you're the one who left me
With nothin' but this cast iron heart

There was a time my heart was good and kind
There was no end to what I'd give you
But now I've changed - my world's been rearranged
I've tried but I just can't forgive you

(Repeat chorus)

A cast iron heart - you can't show no mercy
A cast iron heart - it can't feel no pain
Don't come to me - for love or sympathy
'Cause there ain't none in this cast iron heart

(Repeat chorus)

Find Out What's Happening
(written by Jerry Crutchfield)

Baby, you know me well
You know what I mean to say girl
Before I say "farewell"
I'll give you just another day

(Chorus)
You'd better find out what's happening
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening
You're gonna find out that I'm gone

Tell me what you're gonna do, girl
You better make up your mind
It all depends on you babe
Or I'm leaving you far behind

(Repeat chorus)

Baby, you know it's true
We've been through thick and thin, girl
But if you don't come through
You won't ever see me again

(Repeat chorus)

You'd better find out, find out what's happening
You'd better find out, find out what's happening

Good Thing Going
(written by Vicki Gossett and Ronni Gossett)

Thought you had a good thing
Well you're in for a surprise
I'm taking off this gold ring
And I'm breakin' all the ties

(Chorus)
But you were right until tonight
You had a good thing going
And you're still right because tonight
You've got a good thing going right out the door

Thought you had a good thing going
Bought a cake and ate it too
I caught you at your own game
Doing things you shouldn't do

(Repeat chorus)

You had it all you wanted more
How could you do me like that
I was the best thing you ever had
You've got a good thing going that's not coming back

(Repeat chorus)

You've got a good thing going right out the door
You've got a good thing going right out the door
You've got a good thing going You've got a good thing going right out the door

Hole Where The Heart Oughta Be
(written by Jim Rushing and Randy Scruggs)

I know a woman that's a mental wreck
She's married to a problem that she can't correct
Her love is a ball and chain
And it's draggin' her down
She'd love to lay on his shoulder
But he's never inclined
He's too busy makin' millions
But he ain't worth a dime
She's just a prisoner of her pain
On his merry-go-round

(Chorus)
Cause he's got a hole where the heart oughta be
He's got the whole town fooled
Everybody but me
Now her head's in a noose
And he could cut her loose
But he ain't got the decency
Cause he's got a hole where the heart oughta be

She's got a lonely role in a very bad scene
And sometimes I wish I could intervene
But I just might lose a friend
Or even lose my life
In my darkened room I contemplate
She could of been mine
But for a twist of fate
And a voice inside my head
Keeps askin' me why, why why

(Repeat chorus)

Now her head's in a noose
And he could cut her loose
But he ain't got the decency
Cause he's got a hole where the heart oughta be

I Wanna Be In The Picture
(written by J.P. Pennington and Bob Merrill)

In any plan or future scheme
Include me in any dream you dream
Day after day, dark skies or clear
Just know I'm waiting, just know I'm here

(Chorus)
Oh, I wanna be in the picture
When you're in a lovin' frame of mind
Make me a permanent fixture
'Cause everyday I love you more and more I find

To wake each day and make it through
The ups and downs should be shared by two
Dreams just don't come with a guarantee
When things don't turn out, just turn to me

(Repeat chorus twice)

Josephine
(written by Craig Bickhardt)

Josephine
I'm calling Bowling Green
Pick up the phone
Pick up the phone

I got some news
I'm leavin' Baton Rouge
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

(Chorus)
It's been a long time since we kissed
Tell you something I sure do miss you
Josephine

Josephine
You got just one more ring
To talk to me
From Tennessee

I drove all night
Something here ain't right
It's nearly dawn
Where have you gone

(Repeat chorus)

Hey Josephine what can it mean
Is there someone else
I'm leavin' a message on your machine
I hope you're listenin' by yourself
Josephine

(Repeat chorus)

That Ole Gravel Road
(written by Roger Murrah and Billy Lawson)

When I was eight years old
I tried to leave the farm
I flew a homemade plane
Out of the loft of the barn
But if I could go back now
You couldn't pay me to leave
'Cause that ole gravel road was easy street

We were a four dog family
With some dreams and a flatbed truck
That ole school bus would rattle and shake
When it would pick us up
Those creek bank rocks
Were hard on our feet
But that ole gravel road was easy street

(Chorus)
That ole gravel road was easy street
They used to say we were poor
But we were rich as we could be
We were down on our luck
But we were up to our necks in homemade love
That ole gravel road was easy street

I thought having it made
Was growing up
Movin' off to town, gettin' married
And going to work
But these sidewalks
Ain't all they're cracked up to be
That ole gravel road was easy street

(Repeat chorus)

We were down on our luck
But we were up to our necks in homemade love
That ole gravel road was easy street
That ole gravel road was easy street
