Broken Heartland
(written by Sam Lorber and Bill LaBounty)

River, river look at you run
A thousand miles from where you begun
Past the fields and houses you roll
Leave me here with no one to hold
The stars are out the moon shinin' bright
What good does it do me tonight?

(Chorus)
Broken heartland
If only I could hold him again
I'm out here doin' the best that I can
On my own in broken heartland

I know every cinder and stone
The only place I've ever called home
The short cuts and the dusty back roads
Secret places we used to go
I lay here on the bed where we slept
How am I supposed to forget?

(Repeat chorus)

Strike a match and whisper his name
Watch the memory go down in flames

(Repeat chorus three times)

Hidden Hollow
(written by Pat Bunch, Nancy Given-Prout and Wanda Vick)

The night was dark and the moon was cloudy
The wind was howling through the trees
I felt you put your arms around me
And I heard the first lie that you ever told me

I held you close and the fog came rolling
I caught a chill down to the bone
I couldn't see where we were going
But you knew all the time how you would do me wrong

(Chorus)
Way down in Hidden Hollow
Somethings hiding in the shadows
That you know can bring you harm
But what I found in Hidden Hollow
Is that the danger is the stranger in your arms

I heard you say meet me my darlin'
And I knew by heart just where you'd be
And there I found you with another
Then I heard the last lie that you'll ever tell me

(Repeat chorus)

Oh the danger is the stranger in your arms

Hillbilly Twist
(written by Pam Tillis and Dennis Adkins)

Joe was a weekend warrior and it was Friday night
Well he undergoes an amazing metamorphosis underneath the neon lights
He's got his workclothes on yeah he ain't even been home
But that won't stop old Joe
Oh he's the star of the local bar they love to wind him up
And watch him go

He does a hillbilly twist
To a hillbilly beat
Shakin' his hillbilly hips
Shufflin his hillbilly feet
He does a mean boogaloo
And a respectable two-step too
Oh but ya know he's at his best on a hillbilly twist

Now Wanda don't care what anybody thinks
Or whether she's hip or not
She got on to much rouge and a new hair-do
and every piece of jewelry she's got

Well she's loud and proud and she can stop a crowd
When the music takes control
Yeah Wanda insists on a hillbilly twist
When she really wants to rock and roll

She does a hillbilly twist
To a hillbilly beat
Shakin' her hillbilly hips
Shufflin her hillbilly feet
She does a mean boogaloo
And a respectable two-step too
Oh but ya know she's at her best on a hillbilly twist

Now Joe and Wanda were drawn to each other
By a force they couldn't resist
I don't know you tell me whether it was love
Or the hillbilly twist

They do a hillbilly twist
To a hillbilly beat
Shakin' their hillbilly hips
Shufflin their hillbilly feet
They did a mean boogaloo
And a respectable two-step too
Oh but ya know they left the rest to the hillbilly twist

Everybody do a hillbilly twist
To a hillbilly beat
Shakin' your hillbilly hips
Shufflin your hillbilly feet
Do a mean boogaloo
And a respectable two-step too
Oh but ya know can't resist the hillbilly twist

I Need My Baby Back
(written by Gail Davies and Wally Wilson)

Staring out my window
I can see the sun is coming up
But there's no where to go
And I'd rather be alone
If I can't be with the one I really love

(Chorus)
I got everything money can bring
There ain't a single thing I lack
But that look in his eyes
Is something I can't buy
I need my baby back

Well you know he tried to please me
Gave me anything my heart desired
I was never satisfied
What he told me was so right
Gold and silver cannot keep you warm at night

(Repeat chorus)

Last night I thought I heard him
Driving down my road
I listened for his footsteps
And his knock upon my door
I lay there in the darkness
Till I heard that car drive on
I prayed to God in heaven
Won't you send my baby home

(Repeat chorus)

Lord I need my baby back
Oh yes, I need my baby back
Ah, I need my baby back

Listen To Your Heart
(written by Pat Bunch, Nancy Given-Prout and Wanda Vick)

Standing at the crossroads with a thousand ways to turn
Should I go ahead or go back
Mama said go left and Daddy said go right
And a friend said turn around in your tracks

The weight of advice though it came from love
Turned out to be the heaviest stone
But the load it just got lighter each step I took
When I started down a road of my own
Then I heard a voice say to me whichever way you go

(Chorus)
Listen, listen to the wind, it blows where it must blow
Listen, listen to the birds, they just sing the songs they know
Listen to your heart for it holds the greatest wisdom

Just listen, oh listen, listen to your heart
When life seems free of trouble I get caught up in the world
It's something that's so easy to do
And then I loose my way a little more each day
Till I think about what's real and what's true
Then once again I realize one thing will get you through

You gotta
(Repeat chorus)

Just listen, oh listen, listen to your heart
Listen to your heart

There Goes My Love
(written by Buck Owens)

(Chorus)
There goes the one I used to know
There goes the one that I love so
There go the arms that used to hold me tight
There goes the reason that I sigh
There goes the reason that I cry
There go the lips I used to kiss goodnight
There goes my love

You're the first love of my life
And you might be my last
I don't want to be
Another memory in your past

(Repeat chorus)

I've got a feeling for you here
It's with me night and day
And just because we're far apart
Won't make it go away

(Repeat chorus)
