Highway 101

He's told me a million times he's sorry
I always take him back, though soon I know
He'll spend the night with you and let me cryin'
You don't love him, but you won't let him go

CHORUS

Oh whiskey, if you were a woman
I'd fight you and I'd win, Lord knows I would
Oh whiskey, if you were a woman
I'd drive you from his tangled mind for good

No matter what you do, I'll do it better
You'll never be the woman I could be
But you don't have a heart or any feelings
So I can't even ask for sympathy

CHORUS

oh whiskey, if you were a woman
I'd drive you from his tangled mind for good.

Well I'm sorry if I questioned your intentions
It's just that honesty is awfully hard to find
I might end up in an honorable mention
Then again I might end up with first prize

I aint lookin for a knight in shining armour
I don't believe that much in fairy tales these days
You don't have to ride me off into the sunset
I'm woman enough ta get there my own way

Woah I don't need me another saviour
A long long time ago I saw the light
All I need is a bridge across forever Uh Huh
Someone to meet me on the other side

Well it's a long hard fall from being lonely
But if you don't look down you won't be afraid
Just look into my eyes and then you'll realize
That I'll be there to meet ya there every way

Woah I don't need me another saviour
A long long time ago I saw the light
All I need is a bridge across forever Uh huh
Someone to meet me on the other side

Someone to meet me on the other side

Somewhere tonight he's a live wire he's got his sights on someone new
Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer and I'm so lonesome I don't know what to do

I bet he's out there shinin' like a diamond don't you know
Turnin' heads and breakin' hearts and puttin' on a show
Rollin' like a summer storm driftin' with the wind
And I just wish he'd blow my way again
Somewhere tonight...
( guitar - steel )
I've read that goodbye letter at least a thousand times
He said I was the only one who almost changed his mind
But better homes and garden parties weren't his cup of tea
Somewhere tonight he's running wild and free
Somewhere tonight...
And I'm so lonesome I don't know what to do

Don't bother sittin at my table
Just because I'm on my own
Yes I'm a woman and I'm lonely
But that don't mean I can't be strong

Once again he's not beside me
And tonight he won't be coming home
So I just need a place to miss my baby
When he goes out to do me wrong

Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't wanna hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin lonely
But there's nothin' here I wanna find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line

Every night's a little longer
Than the one that came before
But when I hear them sing a sad song
I know just what I'm cryin' for

I don't wanna stay home waitin'
Don't have to wonder where he's been
He'll be someone else's baby
Before he's in my arms again

Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't wanna hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin lonely
But there's nothin' here I wanna find

It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line

It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line

Good Goodbye

Paulette Tenae Carlson/Bob DiPiero/Pat McManus

It was more than I could do to try to get it through
That I needed his affection
He'd just sit around at home with his buddies on the phone
And we never made connections
Now I'm gonna take a break from all this shake-and-bake
Someone else can take it over
There ain't no better time for startin' over

This is a good goodbye
I ain't feelin' guilty 'cause I done the right thing
It's a good goodbye
I got my radio up and I'm startin' to sing
I'm drivin' this car just as fast as I can
Runnin' with the wind startin' all over agin
I ain't thinkin' twice 'bout that no account man
It's a good good good goodbye

Somewhere between the news and Sunday sports reviews
He'll find that I am missin'
And he'll think that I've gone to Marge's hair salon
But this time -- I'm goin' fishin'
And somewhere in the night when I don't turn out the light
He's gonna see the truth
He's gonna know that we are through

This is a good goodbye
I ain't feelin' guilty 'cause I done the right thing
It's a good goodbye
I got my radio up and I'm startin' to sing
I'm drivin' this car just as fast as I can
Runnin' with the wind startin' all over agin
I ain't thinkin' twice 'bout that no account man
It's a good good good goodbye

This is a good goodbye
I ain't feelin' guilty 'cause I done the right thing
It's a good goodbye
I got my radio up and I'm startin' to sing
I'm drivin' this car just as fast as I can
Runnin' with the wind startin' all over agin
I ain't thinkin' twice 'bout that no account man
It's a good good good goodbye

This is a good good good good bye

Are You Still Mine

Paulette Tenae Carson

Darlin' what did she say when you were alone
All week long you've been actin' strange
Talkin' to her on the phone
Has she gotten' through to you
Got you believin' I'm no good
What did she say or do
To make you act so cruel

Tell me according to her do I cheat, do I lie
And do you believe her
Even some of the time
And the love you've given to me
Is it still mine to keep
Or has she taken that too
Along with your sanity

My darlin' don't you still love me
Or have all the words she said
Changed your mind
Have you been so misled
Has she gotten you in her bed
Oh my darlin' are you still mine

Tell me what will we do
When she's had her fun
When she's stolen our love away
And it's gone like a thief on the run
And when it's too far gone
To ever get it back
What will you say or do
To ease the loss we've had

My darlin' don't you still love me
Or have all the words she said
Changed your mind
Have you been so misled
Has she gotten you in her bed
Oh my darlin' are you still mine

Oh my darlin' are you still mine

One Step Closer

Cactus Moser/ Curtis Stone

See him in the corner lookin' so right
It's Friday night and he's turnin' every head in sight
Stayin' in the shadows, I've seen his type before
He's playin' it safe, never sits with his back to the door
My heart is beating and I'm losing control

And I'm one step closer than I really should be
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes

This indecision weighin' on my mind
I'm giving it up, guess I knew I would all the time
I'm walkin' over, gonna see it through
I'm settin' my sights, takin' my aim on you
This may be crazy but what else can I do

I'm one step closer than I really should be
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes

This may be crazy but what else can I do

I'm one step closer than I really should be
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites

One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes

Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes

Someone Believed

Johnny Pierce/ Joanne Christy/ Paul Solomon

She lives on a farm in southern Oklahoma
She's never been far away from home
Her Mom and her Daddy worked all of their lives
To make their little girl a home

She hides out in the woods with her movie magazines
Her Mama says God frowns on those kind of things
And she stares out her window in a far-away dream
Far from the wheat fields of home

And the seasons keep passing along
You'll know when it's time to leave
There's a new star on the screen tonight
Only a€?cause she believed

He was born in the heart of a cold eastern city
Growin' up with the sounds of cars and machines
A doctor, a lawyer or a great politician
His family hopes that's what he'll be

But he's got visions of cattle drives out in wyoming
Riders on horseback and rodeo scenes
And he knows all he needs is to buy an old pick-up
And drive west till he finds his dream

And the seasons keep passing along
You'll know when it's time to leave
Another cowboy rides the range tonight
Only a€?cause he believed

Someone somewhere sits all alone
Could be any boy or girl
Waiting for their time to come
With a dream to change the world

And the seasons keep passing along
You'll know when it's time to leave
There's a dream coming true tonight
Only a€?cause someone believed

Darling were you listening when
I called you late last night
Or did the sleep get in your eyes
Did it blind me from your sight
Or was she lying with you
Was it hard for you to speak
And did you tell her, she was sleeping
In the bed you made for me

And did you tell her she was sleeping
In the bed you made for me
Did she like my satin sheets
And did you sing her to sleep
And my pillow that she slept on
Did it bring her sweet dreams
Did you tell her she was sleeping
In the bed you made for me

The pillow that you made for me
It was soft with feather down
And the headboard, it came from an old house
That was about to be torn down

And the songs you always sang to me
Oh--wow to fall asleep
Did they sound the same to her
In the bed you made for me

And did you tell her she was sleeping
In the bed you made for me
Did she like my satin sheets
And did you sing her to sleep
And my pillow that she slept on
Did it bring her sweet dreams
Did you tell her she was sleeping
In the bed you made for me

Now you can take my old pillow
And throw it out the door
You can buy another bed
You can find another headboard
Cause I ain't gonna lie beneath
Those satin sheets you tore
The bed you made for me
It isn't mine anymore

And did you tell her she was sleeping
In the bed you made for me
Did she like my satin sheets
And did you sing her to sleep
And my pillow that she slept on
Did it bring her sweet dreams
Did you tell her she was sleeping
In the bed you made for me

And did you tell her she was sleepin'
In the bed you made for me------

Somewhere tonight he's a live wire
He's got his sights on someone new
Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer
And I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do

Turnin' heads, breakin' hearts and puttin' on a show
Rollin' like a summer storm driftin' with the wind
And I just wish he'd blow my way again

Somewhere tonight he's a live wire
He's got his sights on someone new
Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer
And I'm so lonesome, I don't know what to do

But better homes and garden parties they weren't his cup of tea
Somewhere tonight he's runnin' wild and free

Somewhere tonight he's a live wire

Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer

And I'm so lonesome I don't know what to do

"Bing Bang Boom" by Highway 101 (Hugh Priestwood)

Gather around me and lend an ear
'Cause I got somethin' you ought to hear
I'm tellin' you that you ought to fear
A certain kind of love
Now it can strike in the day or night
And just as quick as a rattler's bite
You've got a case of love at first sight
And it's what you're dyin' of

It's just bing bang boom, one two three
You're feelin' normal as you can be
And then bing bang boom, lickety split
It doesn't come on bit by bit
It gets instantly in full swing
And it's bing bang boom

Now I was foot loose and fancy free
I had respect, I had dignity
Then this thing gotta hold 'a me
And it still will not let go
I walked in, and my heartbeat jumped
My hair stood up, and my skin goose-bumped
My mind went blank, and my IQ slumped
And my judgment hit the road

It was bing bang boom, one two three
I fell the second he looked at me
It was bing bang boom, lickety split
It didn't come on bit by bit
It was instantly in full swing
It was bing bang boom

And now my obligations slide
I do not even care
And I spend all my wakin' hours
Walkin' on thin air
So friends, you'd best beware

'Cause that's exactly how you'll behave
If you get hit with this tidal wave
And you won't even have time to save
Your sinkin' sanity

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

Bing bang boom
Bing bang boom
Bing bang boom
It gets instantly in full swing
And it's bing bang boom

It's four in the mornin', I'm tossin' and turnin'
Lord I think that I'm comin' apart
I cry your name in the darkness
As I feel the tears burnin'
It's hard to sleep on a broken heart

You tell me we've been treadin' water
Floatin' on courage and pride
I thought we would last
But now I'm sinkin' fast
In this river of tears that I've cried

I stare out the window
And wonder where did you go
And count the long hours 'til dawn
If I cry me a river it's because I don't know
Why you drifted while I'm hangin' on

You tell me we've been treadin' water
Floatin' on courage and pride
I thought we would last
But now I'm sinkin' fast
In this river of tears that I've cried
