Big Dreams In A Small Town
(written by Dave Robbins, Van Stephenson and Tim DuBois)

(Chorus)
Big dreams in a small town
Eighteen and glory bound
Nothing here to tie us down
Big dreams in a small town

Rollin' down a dusty road
In my daddy's Ford
I wish that I
Could feel that way again

I remember those summer nights
On the brink of love
You and I made
More than plans back then

(Repeat chorus)

Big dreams in a small town
Eighteen and glory bound
Nothing here to tie us down
Big dreams in a small town

We were gonna try to set the world on fire
We were gonna make it all come true
We used to say that we couldn't wait to leave this town
That was something we were born to do

(Repeat chorus)

Oh, ain't it funny how it always seems
That time has a way of changin' all your dreams

Big dreams in a small town
Guess it's time to settle down
Don't ya like the way it sounds
you and me in a small town

Big dreams in a small town
Big dreams in a small town

Calm Before The Storm
(written by Van Stephenson, Dave Robbins and Bob Farrell)

Well you blow through here
Like you own this town
Like a hurricane
You never touch down
I hear the sound of thunder
I start to tremble slow
I know it won't be long until the whole thing blows

(Chorus)
Somebody's gonna get hurt
Somebody's gonna go down
Just when you think it's over
It's gonna come back around
You're just headed for trouble
Don't say you haven't been warned
You better get out on the double
It's just calm before the storm

You've got nobody
You can call your own
And everything you touch
Just turns to stone
Someday you're gonna wake up
And it'll all be gone
And you'll realize everything you did was wrong

(Repeat chorus twice)

It's just calm before the storm
It's just calm before the storm

Carved In Stone
(written by Tony Colton and Michael Noble)

We wrote our names on every bridge and every wall
On every open stretch of sand
Down through the years we watched them fade away
Knowing our love grew stronger day by day

(Chorus)
Carved in stone
This love runs so deep
Carved in stone
So strong and so complete
Carved in stone
We're in this love forever
Carved in stone

Those storms of live will never breach the walls of home
Nor break the promises we made
This love was made to stand the test of time
That's how it's written in this heart of mine

(Repeat chorus)

This ain't no heart that any wave can wash away
We're in this love together you and I forever and a day

(Repeat chorus)

Eldorado
(written by Greg Jennings, Paul Gregg and Nicky Gregg)

Somewhere out west in a land
Called Eldorado
There's a ribbon of gold
Hidden high upon a mountain side

And many an adventurous soul
Has tried to find her
But many is the dreamer
Who's failed to stake a claim

(Chorus)
Oh Eldorado
Show me your heart of purest gold
Don't you know
I'll never stop searching
Till I've found you
Oh Eldorado call to me, call to me

Legends tell us a tale
Of the mother lode
A fortune of gold buried
Deep within a shroud of stone

And oh the laughter
That springs from her cold cold grave
Will leave you with the shivers
Chill you to the very bone

(Repeat chorus)

Voices in the night
I know you're out there waiting
Luring me inside
I can feel the undertow

(Repeat chorus)

Why don't you call to me

Jenny Come Back
(written by Dave Robbins, Van Stephenson and Tim DuBois)

I still hear the glass that shattered
When she slammed the door
I knew inside it was foolish pride
And nothing more
But I let her walk away
When I knew the words to say

(Chorus)
Jenny come back
I musta' been crazy
I don't know what made me treat you like that
Jenny come back
The love that you gave me
Is all that can save me
Jenny come back

Just a crazy fight where nobody was right
And nobody was wrong
But this time around nobody backed down
And now she's gone
And I'm wishin' it was just a bad dream
Prayin' that the phone will ring

(Repeat chorus)

Jenny come back
I made a mistake, gonna do what it takes
Jenny come back
Gonna make it right, I need you tonight
Jenny come back

Jenny come back
I musta' been crazy
I don't know what made me treat you like that
Jenny come back
Don't leave me lonely
I need you to hold me
Jenny come back

Jenny come back
Jenny come back
Jenny come back

Say What's In Your Heart
(written by Don Schlitz-Donny Lowery)

Sometimes a woman and a man make plans
And then change in the middle of the stream
Why does the flame die and where does the blame lie
And what becomes of their dreams
Will I be startin' on my own again brand new
Or will I be rebuilding what I once had with you

(Chorus)
Say you don't need me and I'll be gone
Say that you want me and I'll come on home
I can take anything but standing in the dark
Don't hold nothing back, please say what's in your heart

We always said we'd tell each other everything
That we were feeling deep inside
Now when I see your eyes, no matter how you try
You're feelin' something you can't hide
Everyone knows the way that love's supposed to be
But in the real world there ain't no guarantee

(Repeat chorus)

I'll still love you no matter what you say
I'll stand beside you but I won't stand in your way

(Repeat chorus)

The Bluest Eyes In Texas
(written by Dave Robbins, Van Stephenson and Tim DuBois)

That lonesome Texas sun was setting slow
And in the rear view mirror I watched it go
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes for a moment and I'm still there

(Chorus)
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
Where did I go wrong
Did I wait to long
Or can I make it right
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

Another town, another motel room
Another dream that ended way to soon
Left me lonely, prayin' for the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on

(Repeat chorus)

For every heart you break you pay a price
But I can't forget the tears in her blue eyes

(Repeat chorus)

The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

The Ride Of Your Live
(written by John Dittrich, Greg Jennings, Larry Stewart and Tim DuBois)

I was standing on the corner, waiting for the light
When a silver Eldorado pulled up on the right
I was looking for adventure, I was looking for a ride
And both my prayers were answered, when she motioned me inside
She said where you going cowboy, I said anywhere but here
She looked me squarely in the eye and said well have no fear
I'll get you there in half the time I love to go fast
She winked at me the light turned green and the world went flying past

(Chorus)
She said boy I'm gonna give you the ride of your life
We're only gonna do it once but we're gonna do it right
If you're really taking chances you better hold on tight
Cause I'm gonna give you the ride of your life

We were screaming through the traffic flying through the night
I was thinking it was cool passing everything in sight
She took a right on Sunset then a left on Canyon Drive
And I began to wonder if I'd make it back alive
Like a demon had possessed her, she kept picking up the pace
My heart was beating faster and the blood drained from my face
A death grip on the armrest, my knuckles turning white
Why is it when you need a cop there's never on in sight

(Repeat chorus)

Now my thirst for adventure had long since disappeared
And any thoughts of passion were now overcome by fear
I was praying through another curve when suddenly ahead
I saw an intersection and the light was turning red
I was planning my escape as she was gearing down
Whe we came to a screeching halt I jumped out and kissed the ground
The light turned green I heard her laugh as she drove out of sight
I realized just what she meant and she was ever right

(Repeat chorus)

This Time
(written by Paul Gregg, Greg Jennings, Van Stephenson and Tim DuBois)

(Chrous)
This time you've gone too far
Shot an arow through my heart
This time those baby blues
Made me fall in love
My heart never have a chance
I lost it all with just one dance
This time I know it's true
You made me fall in love

I know I've seen you in this place
A dozen times before
I've watched you make those deadly moves
Out there on the floor
But tonight when you walked up to me
And nailed me with that look
And said I sure would love to dance
Well that was all it took

(Repeat chorus)
With you, with you

I used to think that love was just
A game for crazy fools
I've always been a kinda man
Who likes to play it cool
Never thought I'd see the day
When I'd give up without a fight
But when I held you in my arms
You made it feel so right

(Repeat chorus)
With you, with you, with you
Baby with you
This time, this time
Oh this time, this time

When She Cries
(written by Marc Beeson and Sonny LeMaire)

The road I have travelled on
Is paved with good intentions
It's littered with broken dreams
That never quite came true
When all of my hopes were dying
Her love kept me trying
She doesn't has to hide
The pain that she's been through

(Chorus)
When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her
She tries to hide all the fears she feels inside
So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries

She's always been there for me
Whenever I'm falling
When nobody else believed
She'd be there by my side
I don't know how she takes it
Just once I like to make it
Then the tears of joy
Will fill her loving eyes

(Repeat chorus)

So I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'Cause I die a little each time
When she cries
