Believe Me Baby (I Lied) (contributed by Shadey)
(written by Kim Richey, Angelo and Larry Gottlieb)

If there ever was a time
That I could use your trust in me
And if there ever was a reason
For me to get down on my knees
And if there's any way
That you could love me anyhow
If you ever had much faith in me
I could use a little now

(Chorus)
When I said it would suit me fine
If you were out of sight and out of mind
That wasn't me talking
That was my wounded pride
When I said I didn't want your love
And you were no one I was thinking of
Believe me baby I lied

Well I got no good excuses
But I got plenty of regrets
And I wish this was some bad dream
I could wake up and forget
'Cause you're the only one
That I could never stand to lose
You're all I've ever wanted
And baby that's the truth

(Repeat chorus twice)

Believe me baby I lied

Down On My Knees (contributed by Samantha)

Sometimes you wonder how much I care
I get so distracted running nowhere
And I take for granted our love is secure
Oh, but if I started losing you one thing is sure

(Chorus)
I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray darling
Down on my knees
Making you stay, whatever it takes
I'd be begging you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees

I learned to be strong a long time ago
And I can face any wind, no matter how hard it blows
But I'd have to be stronger than I'd want to be
If I had to live without you loving me

(Repeat chorus)

No one matters more in my life
Or makes me feel like you make me feel inside
And I've come far enough to know
Love's worth never letting go of
And that love is not a matter of pride
So I'd
I'd be down on my knees

Hearts In Armor (contributed by Samantha)

One more day
My heart's in armor
Though I meant to let you in
In an effort not to harm it
I have missed my chance again

I was singing when I freed you
But my pride was just a veil
I pretended not to need you
Now my heart tells a different tale

And every hour that goes by
The harder I become
Because I let that well run dry
Because I left you unanswered

Then like a fool I kept my secret
When it made no sense to try
Now I can no longer keep it
For it's late and the moon is high

One more day my heart's in armor
Though I did not see it then
I would finish what you started
If I had that chance again

If I Ain't Got You
(written by Craig Wiseman and Trey Bruce)

Well, I've got a steady job that pays enough
A pretty good car that don't break down much
I've got a two-tone hound dog wagging his tail
Ed McMahon promising a million in the mail
Ought to be enough to see me through
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

I've got every eight track that elvis ever made
Crank it up loud and dance the night away
I've got chardonnay chillin' in the frigidaire
A dozen ways of telling you how I care
Just out the window there's a lover's moon
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

(Chorus)
If I ain't got you
Baby, it's all in vain
If I ain't got you
Oh, it's like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of rails without a train

Well, I've got a little dream about the rest of my life
Find a good man and be the perfect wife
Start a little family and watch it grow
Visit on sundays after we get old
Make enough love to last a whole life through
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

(Repeat chorus)

I've got a doublewide heart with room for two
But it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you
No it don't mean nothing
If I ain't got you

The Song Remembers When (contributed by Samantha)

I was standing at the counter
I was waiting for the change
When I heard that old familiar music start
It was like a lighted match
Had been tossed into my soul
It was like a dam had broken in my heart

After taking every detour
Getting lost and losing track
So that even if I wanted
I can't find my way back
After driving out the memory
Of the way things might have been
After I had forgotten all about it
The song remembers when

We were rolling through the Rockies
We were up above the clouds
When a station out of Jackson played that song
And it seemed to fit the moment
And the moment seemed to freeze
When we turned the music up and sang along

And there was a god in heaven
And the world made perfect sense
We were young, and were in love
And we were easy to convince
We were heading straight for Eden
It was just around the bend
And I thought I'd forgotten all about it
But the song remembers when

I guess something must have happened
And I must have said goodbye
And my heart must have been broken
Though I can't remember why
The song remembers when

Well, for all the miles between us
And for all the time that's passed
You would think that I haven't gotten very far
And I hope my hasty heart
Will forgive me just this once
If I stop to wonder how on earth you are

But that's just a lot of water
Underneath a bridge I burned
And there's no use in backtracking
'Round corners I have turned
Still, I guess some things you bury
Are just bound to rise again
Cause even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when
Even if the whole world has forgotten
The song remembers when

Walkaway Joe (contributed by Samantha)

Momma told her baby, `Girl, take it real slow'
Girl told her momma, `Hey, I really gotta go
He's waiting in the car'
Momma said `Girl, you won't get far'
Thus are the dreams of an average jane
Ninety miles an hour down a lovers lane
On a tank of dreams
Oh, if she could've only seen
But fate's got cards that it don't wanna show
And that boy's just

(Chorus)
A Walkaway Joe, born to be a leaver
Tell ya from the word `go', he'll deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
She's gonna know it in a matter of time
That boy is a Walkaway Joe

Just a little while into Abilene
Pulls into a station, and he robs it clean
She's waiting in the car
Oh, underneath the Texaco star
She only wanted love, didn't bargain for this
She can't help but love him for the way that he is
She's only seventeen
And there ain't no reasoning
So she'll ride this ride just as far as it'll go
But that boy's just

(Repeat chorus)

Somewhere in a roadside motel room
Alone in the silence, she wakes up too soon
And reaches for his arm
She'll just keep reaching on
For the cold, hard truth revealed what it had known
That boy's just

A Walkaway Joe, born to be a leaver
Tell ya from the word `go', he'll deceive her
He's the wrong kind of paradise
But it was just another lesson in life
That boy is a Walkaway Joe

Yeah, all he was, was a Walkaway Joe
He was a Walkaway Joe

Wrong Side Of Memphis (contributed by Samantha)

(Chorus1)
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
With a tank full of gas and a '69 Temptest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

No turning back, I've gone too far
I'm heading down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland, that's a fact
And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac

(Chorus2)
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are getting kinda restless
And I ain't gotta single thing to lose

I've had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I'll be there

(Repeat chorus1)

(Repeat chorus2)
