Songs:
1.Not Counting You
Written by Garth Brooks
Copyright ®1988 by Major Bob Music Co. Inc,-(ASCAP)
When loving comes to parting I'm always the first to leave
Cause when it comes to heartaches I'd rather give than to receive
I've never cried myself to sleep just praying I'll get through
I've never lost at love not counting you
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
I've never got down on my knees and asked the Lord above
If he would only bring me the one I'm dreaming of
Begging to be taken back and swearing I'll be true
Has never crossed my mind not counting you
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
There's no exceptions to the rule
I've never been nobody's fool
I've never lost at love not counting you
No, I've never lost at love not counting you
2.I've Got A Good Thing Going
By Kent Blazy & Garth Brooks
Copyright ®1988 by Major Bob Music Co, Inc.-(ASCAP)
She swears there's nothing wrong, but something's missing
She's never been much good at telling lies
'Cause you can hear the sounds of leaving, if you listen
This may be California, but Oklahoma's in her eyes
I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see, she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
It's killing me that she's good as gone
By now she must be tired of always giving
And tired of what she's getting in return
I guess Oklahoma's more her style of living
'Cause I can see her heart is heading 'cross a bridge I thought she burned
I've got a good thing going
It's plain to see, she's tired of hanging on
I've got a good thing going
It's killing me that she's good as gone
Lord, it's killing me, that she's as good as gone
3.If Tomorrow Never Comes
By Kent Blazy & Garth Brooks
Copyright ®1988 by Evanlee Music/Major Bob Music Co. Inc.-(ASCAP)
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
'Cause I lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
4.Everytime That It Rains
By Stefl, Ty England & Garth Brooks
Copyright ®1988 by Major Bob Music Co. Inc.-(ASCAP)
Stuck in an airport in Austin, all of the flights are delayed
And as the rain keeps fallin' the mem'ries keep callin' me back
To another time and place
back to a rainy day in Oklahoma, she was workin' at this roadside cafe
And it was just her and me and it looked like it would be
At least 'till the storms rolled away
I played "Please Come to boston" on the jukebox
She said hey that's my favorite song
The next thing I knew, the song was through
And we were still dancin' along
And with that look in her eyes she pulled from me
Then she pulled off that apron she wore
And with her hand in mine we turned off the sign
And locked the rain outside the door
Every time that it rains, I can hear her heart callin'
It rains, I can see that dress fallin'
The storm clouds roll on, still the memory remains
Every time that it rains
One late rainy night I got a phone call
So I went back to see her again
And through the dance we both stumbled and with the buttons we fumbled
So we decided to call it at friends
if we ever had a thing now it's over, and only the memory remains
Of a roadside cafe on a September day
I relive every time that it rains
Every time that it rains
Every time that it rains
It's raining on me
Every time that it rains
5.Alabama Clay
By Larry Cordle & Ronny Scaife
Copyright ®1988 Jack and Bill Music Company, Amanda-Lin Music, Hall-Clement Publications and Partner Music
First time he saw the ground get busted
He was ten and it was 1952
His daddy worked hard from sunup to sundown
And the goin' got tough behind them ol' grey mules
The farm grew to be a moneymaker
And the house he lived in grew up room by room
The boy worked hard but soon got tired of farmin'
So he slipped away one night 'neath the harvest moon
His neck was red as Alabama Clay
but the city's call pulled him away
He's got a factory job and runs a big machine
He don't miss the farm or the fields of green
Now the city's just a prison without fences
His job is just a routine he can't stand
And at night he dreams of wide-open spaces
Fresh dirt between his toes and on his hands
Then one day a picture came inside a letter
Of a young girl with a baby in her arms
And the words she wrote would change his life forever
So he went to raise his family on the farm
His neck is red as Alabama Clay
Now he's goin' home this time to stay
Where his roots run deep on the family tree
And the tractor rolls through the fields of green
His neck is red as Alabama Clay
Now he's goin' home this time to stay
Where his roots run deep on the family tree
And the tractor rolls through the fields of green
His neck is red as Alabama Clay
6.Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)
By Randy Taylor & Garth Brooks
Copyright ®1988 by Major Bob Music Co. Inc.-(ASCAP)
This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
I called the house by no one answered
For the last few weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long
And the white line's getting longer and the saddles's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
A worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all
And the white line's getting longer and the saddles's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old
7.Cowboy Bill
By Larry Bastian & E. Berghoff
Copyright ®1988 by Major Bob Music Co. Inc./Ed's Up Music (ASCAP/BMI)
He told a good story and all us kids listened
'Bout his life on the boarder and the way it was then
And we all believed him and when he would finish
We'd ask the old cowboy to tell 'em again
You could almost hear those prairie winds blowin'
His saddle a creakin' 'neath his old faded jeans
You could taste the dry dust from the trail he was ridin'
As he sat there and painted those west Texas scenes
And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies
But to all of us kids, Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true as his blue Texas skies
He told of a time when he rode with the Rangers
Down on the pecos and he saved the day
Outnumbered by plenty, they were almost to cover
With thirty banditos headed their way
he looked back just in time to see a horse stumble
The captain went down and Bill pulled up his reins
And through a flurry of bullets he rescued the captain
They rode for a sunset, just the story remains
And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies
But to all of us kids, Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true as his blue Texas skies
Well I still remember the day that it happened
We waited and we waited by Bill never showed
And the folks at the feed store said they hadn't seen him
Se we set out for his place down Old Grist Mill Road
And we cried when we found him lying there with his mem'ries
The old trunk wide open, things scattered about
He was clutchin' a badge that said Texas Ranger
And an old "yeller" letter that said Texas Is Proud
And those grownups that told us
You boys keep your distance, that old man's just tellin' you lies
Well now they're all sayin' Cowboy Bill was a hero
Just as true as his blue Texas skies
Just as true as his blue Texas skies
8.Nobody Gets off In This Town
By Larry Bastian & Dewayne Blackwell
Copyright ®1987 by Major Bob Music Co. Inc/Jobete Music Co. Inc.-(ASCAP)
Nobody gets off in this town
Trains don't even slow down
My high school sweetheart's married and gone
They met on a bus to San Antone
The Greyhound stops! somebody gets on
but nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
Old folks 'round here wear a frown
Now let me see if I can set the scene
It's a one-dog town and he's old and mean
There's one stop light but it's always green
Nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
high school colors are brown
They can't drag Main because it kicks up dust
The cars and their dreams are all starting to rust
The high school dances are always a bust
Nobody gets off in this town
Nobody gets off in this town
They oughta just tear it down
Cause in the winter you freeze and in the summer you fry
Utility bill's the only thing that gets high
I'd go for a drink but this county is dry
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off
Nobody gets off in this square old merry-g-round
No, nobody gets off in this town
9.I Know One
By Jack Clement
Copyright ®1960 by Jack Music, Inc.-(BMI)
When all your loves have ended
When all your friends have flown
Who'll be around to want you
When all your loves have gone
Only a fool would do it
After the way you've done
And how many fools would have you
I know one
This fool keeps wondering why he fell in love at all
But you might need this fool around in case you fall
After the party's over and you've had your fill of fun
If you need a fool to forgive you...I know one
You never know you might be lonely when all your loves have missed
It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra fool on your list
After your heart's been broken and you need a place to run
If you'll take a fool who loves you...I know one...I know one
10.The Dance
By Tony Arata
Copyright ®1989 by Morganactive Music.Pookie Boy Music-(ASCAP)
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the King would fall
Hey whose to say you know I might have chanced it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
