Coalmine
Shotgun houses, shanty shacks Countin' those ties on the railroad track Thirty-four more, it's almost time To see my baby walking out of that
Chorus: Coalmine, covered with dust T-shirt tired, all muscled up All mine, head to toe Come on, come on, whistle, blow I can't wait to get him home Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on Gonna keep him busy 'til its time He goes back to that coalmine
Some girls like them gussied up wearing all that smelly stuff To me there's nothing quite so fine As my man standing in front of that
2nd Chorus: Coalmine, covered with dust T-shirt tied, all muscled up All mine, head to toe Come on, come on whistle, blow Power's out, well that's all right We'll make love by a miner's light Gonna keep him busy 'til its time He goes back to that coalmine
Shotgun houses, shanty shacks Countrin' those ties on the railroad track Just two more, it's almost time To see my baby walking out of that
3rd Chorus: Coalmine, covered with dust T-shirt tied, all muscled up All mine, head to tow Come on, come on whistle, blow Don't want no white-collared man Midnight, I like calloused hands To keep me busy 'til its time He goes back to that coalmine
I can't wait to get him home Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on Power's out, well that's all right We'll make love by a miner's light Don't want no white-collared man Midnight, I live calloused hands To keep me bust 'til its time He goes back to that coalmine

A Real Fine Place To Start
I'm gonna do it darlin': I could waste time tryin' the figure it out, But I'm jumpin' in anyhow. I've never been this far; Didn't know love could run so deep: Didn't know I'd lose this much sleep.
Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon. Spinnin' all night, Lovin' just who you are: Sparks flyin' in the dark. Shootin' out lights, huntin' down dreams, Figurin' out what love really means: Baby, givin' you my heart, Is a real fine place to start.
Somethin' is goin' on, I can't explain but sure can touch: It's callin' both of us. Stronger than any fear or doubt, It's changin' everything I see: It's changin' you, it's changin' me.
Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon. Spinnin' all night, Lovin' just who you are: Sparks flyin' in the dark. Shootin' down lights, runnin' down dreams, Figurin' out what love really means: Baby, givin' you my heart, Is a real fine place to start.
Right here, right now's the perfect spot, the perfect time. The perfect moment when your skin is next to mine.
Instrumental break.
Yeah, yeah: Holdin' you close, (Holdin' you close.) Chasin' that moon. (Chasin' that moon.) Spinnin' all night, Lovin' just who you are: Sparks flyin' in the dark. Shootin' out lights, (Shootin' down lights.) Runnin' down dreams, (Runnin' down dreams.) Figurin' out just what love really means: Baby, givin' you my heart's a real fine place, Real fine place to start. Oh yeah. Oh, oh, oh.

Cheatin'
You say your every day Is a bad dream that keeps repeatin' Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
How do you like that furnished room, the bed, the chair, the table The TV pictures goes in and out, too bad you don't have cable How do you like that paper plate, and those pork-n-beans you're eatin' Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
How do you like that beat up car, I think it's fair we traded You pick up truck is running fine, it's a cozy ride for datin' Yes, I've been out a time or two, and found the comfort I've been needin Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
You made your bed and your out of mine You lie awake and I sleep just fine You've done your sowing, now you can do your reaping Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin'
What became of what's her name, after she spent all your money Did she leave you like you left me, sometimes life is funny But I'll be glad to take you back, just as soon as I stop breathin Maybe you should've thought about that Maybe you should've thought about that When you were cheatin' When you were cheatin'

New Home Town
Every day we walk right past All the concrete and the glass I don't know where we're going I hardly ever see your face And there's not enough space For all the love we should be growing
Chorus: We just need a little earth to stand on Plant our hearts on solid ground Turn the lights out on this city And wake up in a new hometown We'll stand out in our front yard Where we can finally breathe If we find a little earth to stand on Baby you and me
Imagine Friday football games Where everybody knows our names They even stop to say hello I bet they'll have a town parade Kids selling lemonade Baby, don't you wanna go, ohhhh
Repeat chorus
Bridge: I don't want to face tomorrow If we don't leave this place tonight I've never been more sure Of anything in my life
All we need's a little earth to stand on Plant our hearts on solid ground Turn the lights out on this city And wake up in a new hometown Stand out in our front yard Where we can finally breathe If we find a little earth to stand on Baby you and me
Need a little earth to stand on Plant our hearts on solid ground Turn the lights out on this city And wake up in a new hometown We'll dance out in our front yard Underneath a maple tree If we find a little earth to stand on Baby you and me

You'll Always Be My Baby
There I was ten years old waiting in my room for him to come home I just knew he'd be so mad though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad. There was no denying I let him down but instead of being angry he put his arms around me and said
in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days I'll always feel the same way whatever road you may be on no your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be just remember that you will always be my baby.
There I was twenty one oh I was so ashamed of what I'd done on a country road parked one night it started out so innocent then crossed the line there was no denying I let God down but instead of being angry he wrapped his arms around me and I heard
in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest rains I'll always feel the same way whatever road you may be on no your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be just remember that you will always be my baby yeah yeah.
There he is my little man I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then and I pray to god that when he does I'll be just as understanding and my father was oh the last thing that I want to do is let him down so instead of being angry I'm gonna throw my arms around him and I'll say
in the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest rains I'll always feel the same way whatever road you may be on noo your never too far gone my love is there wherever you may be just remember that you will always be my baby be my baby

"Roll Me Back In Time"
He was just a boy of seventeen And I was older by a year And we spent everything we ever made To get away from here
We got married in the winter time At the Open Doors Cafe No matter how he tried, he couldn't fine the peace of mind to stay
[Chorus] All the glitter out in Hollywood All the stars that never shine They can't hold a candle to your wind Could you roll me, roll me back in time
Got a job and worked the early shift I spent hours by the phone Promises are easy to forget When there's too much time alone
You've got something they can't argue with That's what all the people say He's just wating for the obvious His star is on his way, any day
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge] Just this side of sunrise, you can feel it in the air That something's bound to happen It's just right there Everyboyd loves you, it's so easy to see But it's only, yeah, it's only in your dreams
[Repeat Chorus]
I woke up to find him standing there with his suitcase in his hand

''The Secrets That We Keep''
Across a crowded room I can't keep my eyes off you You take my breath away Looking at me now I know what you are thinking about You are thinking about the way You woke me up this morning and made sweet love to me
Oh baby I love the way you touch me You know my body so well You do much more to love me
Wrapped up inside of you is where I want to be Because no body knows No body knows No body knows the secrets that we keep
Once we get inside these four walls All the hesitation falls We can't wait no more As you help me get undressed you don't have to guess Baby you know what I want I want to love you til the sun comes up Til I am sure you are satisfied
Oh baby I love the way you touch me You know my body so well You do much more to love me
Wrapped up inside of you is where I want to be Because no body knows The secrets that we keep, yeah.
Ohh, Wrapped up inside of you Is where I want to be 'Cause no body knows No body knows No body knows No body knows The secrets that we keep.

"Bible Song"
No stranger in this town Nobody moves without making a sound You live and die within the borders and lines No one dies without paying their fines
No lovers in this town The moon's full but it sure ain't round And just because you lie in his bed Don't mean he meant the things he said
[1st Chorus] They marry young in these parts They work the factories So I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods So no one would sing some bible song over me
My cousin died in his sleep Forty pilss, two kids to keep And how will she explain to those kids About the sorry thing daddy did
They marry young in these parts They raise their kids and set them free So I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods So no one would sing some bible song over me
They buried him out in the cold He was only twenty-four years old How his mother came undone When the choir sang hallelujah
[Chorus] I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods Hallelujah Hallelujah - ahh Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah

"Tell Me"
Come tell me something new about you baby I've been wondering if there's something I can do for you you and me may not always agree on the little things But I am open always, hoping, you'll come tell me
I have loved you from the moment you touched me Through the hard times and the sunshine I have loved you
Come lay down, let's be found
[Chorus] Sing me a love song I wanna stay right here in your arms through the night I don't wanna be selfish I wanna give you anything you want from me So tell me
Put your heart ou, lay it all out on the line Let me take it while we're making love tonight
You're the one thing in my life that stays the same Through all the seasons Everlasting, never changing You're the one thing

Missing Missouri
I love my life, love my husband Without those kid's, man I ain't nothin' I love my fans, love my band Love my little Tennessee piece of land Sometimes my life can get so hectic Out of the blue when I least expect it Somewhere between the hubbub and the drama I get to thinkin' bout mama and
(CHORUS) I'm caught up in missing Missouri 'Cause I wanna be with my family Instead of stuck out on this road I'm on Everytime my bus wheels hit the boot hill There's no limelight and I'm alright 'Cause I'm almost home Where they love me, where they know me Where they show me back in Missouri
the road just ain't no place for whiners It's motels, truck stops, all night diners Hoping that your song'll sell And having to smile when it ain't doin well So when everything just gets to much And I feel like I'm givin up I close my eyes and say a little prayer And its like I'm there and
(CHORUS)
Bridge: Late summer nights sneakin out the window Me and the girls driving down the backroads Tobacco fields and bumblebees And the cardinals playing on TV
Chorus till fade

"These Four Walls"
Wasn't that long ago I was skipping school with a lunchbox Pigtails in my hair Where did the time go One minute I'm playing in the sandbox How'd I get to here from there Making lunches and folding clothes Is not the most glamourous life I know But I've got so much more than most
[Chorus] I'm not famous but my kids think I'm a star Im not rich but I've made a million memories so far I may not be a model But My man thinks I could be I may not be from royalty But in these four walls I'm the queen
I had it all planned First I'd make it big in Nashville Then take hollywood by storm But it was in God's hands There were three little lives that would need me To one day be their mom I wouldn't trade it for anything Those movie stars don't have everything I know I'm right where I wanna be
[Repeat Chorus]
I had to let it go, but I have no regrets I would have never known this kind of happiness
[Repeat Chorus]

''Caged'' (Bonus track on Target)
Do you ever feel caged Locked up like a bird Do you ever feel the weight Of this whole world I look across my field Searching for a sign For the winds to change And free this heart of mine
Chorus: Ooh, when the black crow flies Cries out a warning to my soul Lift above your sorrow and Don't let it take control, take control And let your spirit rise Rise
When the sun's setting down And it can't hold back the night In my tears I could drown I can't swim to the light Will you reach in the water Save me from the tide Be my sanctuary Up on the mountainside
Repeat Chorus Twice
Do you ever feel caged Locked up like a bird Do you ever feel the weight Of this whole world

Best Days Are Coming (bonus track on Target)
The seeds are planted and the sun is shining The paycheck's in the mail The weekend's around the corner And the house we want's for sale
A new movie's coming out on Friday An old friend is back in town And that smile you thought I'd lost Well, it's been found
Chorus: The best days are coming The best days are coming, baby They'll be like nothing we've ever seen Made for living, laughing and loving The best days are coming For you and me
Ain't it something how the kids are growing I wish we could keep 'em young But it's fun to watch and wonder What they'll become
A few years they'll up and move on With luck, we'll still have our health Along with a few grandbabies And the house to ourselves
Repeat Chorus
When the shadow's long and the sun is setting And we've given all we have We'll let go, but we both know It's no time for being sad, oh
Repeat Chorus Twice
