26 Cents
(Steve Wilkinson/William Wallace)
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
The courage of just 18 years
A penny & quarter taped to a letter
with Momma's goodbye in her ears
She watched as her High School
faded behind her
And the house with the white picket fence
Then she read the note
That her momma had wrote
Wrapped up with 26 cents
Chorus:
When you get lonely, call me, anytime at all
I'll be there with you, always, anywhere at all
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
And money is never enough
Here's a penny for your thoughts, a quarter for the call
And all o' your mamma's love
A penny and quarter buys a whole lotta nothing
Taped to an old wrinkled note
But when she didn't have much, she had all mamma's love
Inside that old envelope
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh it's been years since mamma's been gone
But when she hold the coins she feels her love
Just as strong...
REPEAT CHORUS
Here's a penny for your thoughts, a quarter for the call
And all o' your mamma's love

Back On My Feet
(Bill LaBounty/Annie Roboff)
I've been lyin' in the shadows
In the corner of my room
Turned off the lights
Gave up the fight
There was nothing I could do
Then I just woke up one morning
And I put on my walkin' shoes, and
CHORUS:
I'm back on my feet again
Had all the heartache one woman can stand
Got through the night
Took back my life
I'm back on my feet again.
I wasn't sure if I could make it
Had to crawl across the floor
Through the broken glass
Of my shattered past
Pushed myself on through the door
I took a step out of the darkness
I don't need it anymore, no
I just woke up one morning
And I put on my walkin' shoes, now

Boy Oh Boy
(Steve Wilkinson/Amanda Wilkinson)
Boy oh boy looked at me
Boy oh boy smiled that way
Boy oh boy this heart of mine stood still
Thought my world was unaffected
'Til the moment I least expected
Boy oh boy love's movin' in for the kill
CHORUS:
And I'm fallin' this spell I'm under
I don't know what's up or down
I'm fallin' it makes me wonder
Why I've spent time foolin' 'round with boys
Boy oh boy this must be love
Boy oh boy I feel so shaken
Boy oh boy can't be mistaken
This is more than passion at first sight
His brown eyes tell the truth
I'm sure he feels the way I do
'Cause boy oh boy I'm certain
That it's right, right, right
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I'll be sweet and charmin'
I'll be coy, oh yeah
But when I'm in his arms
Boy oh boy
REPEAT CHORUS
Must be love
It must be love
Boy oh boy this is love
It must be love
It must be love
It must be love

Don't I Have A Heart
(Steve Wilkinson/Pat Bunch/Doug
Johnson)
Hey Mrs. Smith is your daughter home
Is she off the phone, I've been tryin' to call her
Mrs. Smith I can't explain
We were at the game
And something happened
I took her hand and I stole a kiss
I guess you know that I'm new to this
CHORUS:
(Momma) Don't I have a heart
Don't I have two arms
This can't all be imagination
Tell me how you know
When true love really starts
I don't have a clue
But don't I have a heart
Mrs. Smith do you really mean it
I can't believe it, she said that too
You both stayed up until way past one
No homework done and she said to you
He stole a kiss and I looked at him
But he didn't even try again
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Hey Mrs. Smith I hope that I'm not out place
Please go get het gotta tell her face to face
REPEAT CHORUS
Show me your heart

Fly
(Steve Wilkinson/Rory Micheal Bourke)
Sometimes I swear I live with an angel
Sent from above to watch over me
He wears his love just like a halo
If he's not an angel, what else could he be
He wouldn't say he's anything special
Betcha that's how all those angels are
But when he comes around miracles happen
I felt the first one when he touched my heart
CHORUS:
Though I've never seen him fly
On the wings of love he carries me
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly
This mornin' he walked up
Smiled and I kissed him
I never let on that he's not foolin' me
But I think it's so cute how he says
He's from Houston
I swear there's wings tucked up his sleeves
REPEAT CHORUS
Heaven bound I'm mystified
How with just one kiss he made me
Believe in angels
Though I've never seen him fly

Nothing but Love
(Steve Wilkinson/Steve Burr)
You'll never know how close we came
The word goodbye was almost spoken
Just one more thoughtless work
And I was ready to leave
Then the thought of how I'd feel
Waking up one day without you
I closed the door and turned around
You wouldn't believe it if you had seen it.
CHORUS:
There I was ... the note was even written
Seven pages ... it took all day
There I was ... I'd made my decision
With nothing but love standing in the way
This is worth the empty cab
This worth the bag unpacking
If only for the lesson learned
I'm glad to go through this
Moment of truth, yeah
BRIDGE
Nothing but the touch of your hand
Nothing but your kiss, I know
Didn't even have to think twice
Baby, how could I go.

One Faithful Heart
(Steve Wilkinson/Charlie Black/Rory
Michael Bourke)
Time, it goes so fast
Like a river running past
And now you're lucky if you find at last
Just one faithful heart
So I watch her as she sleeps
All curled up in her dreams
Somewhere beneath the quilt and sheets
Gently beats one faithful heart
BRIDGE:
As constant as the northern star
And as sure as gravity
Her love makes me complete
Makes my life so sweet
This night will slip on by
Soon she'll open up her eyes
And I will see the light that shines
From just on faithful heart
I live to see the light that shines
From just one faithful heart.

The Word
(Tony Haseldon)
I don't recognize this feelin'
I don't recognize this place
Even the mirror is showin' me a different face
What's that grin, where'd it come from
I can't seem to make it stop
I'm so digustingly happy that I'm about to pop
CHORUS 1:
ButI'm afraid to say the word ... Love
I don't think I've ever been in ... Love
Symptomatically this is possibly
(You say it) ... Love
Well I've heard friends talk about it
I've seen them get that look in their eyes
They go all melancholy and start to testify
The go oh you'll know, when it hits you
It'll knock you off your feet
It breaks the rules of logic
And the laws of gravity.
CHORUS 2:
But it's too soon to say the word ... Love
I don't wanna jinx this ... Love
Parenthetically this probably
(Could be) ... Love
You say I'm actin' crazy
I say this ain't no act
I'm just as serious as a heart attack
I give up I surrender, now that I know it's true
I wanna tell the world
My heart belongs to you
CHORUS 3:
Now it's time to say the word ... Love
I just wanna shout ... Love
It automatically leaps right out of me,
Love, love, love, love
TAG:
That little four-letter word
The sweetest sound that I've ever heard
Just in case I haven't said it enough
em me repeat it, I'm in love ...

The Yodelin' Blues
(Skip Ewing)
Billy was a rocker down in Baton Rouge
Liked to sing country in his tennis shoes
He grew up in the sixties on rock and roll
But he got him a gig in a country show
He traveled with them all across the USA
But one night in the middle of the set they say
He got his rockin' rhythm roots
And country confused
He sang the yodelin' blues
CHORUS (yodel)
Well the band thought Billy was a crazy fool
But that yodelin' thing he did was powerful cool
So they worked all week
And they got it just right
To play down at the club agian Saturday night
And the crowd went screamin'
Crazy plum unglued
All the girls thought Billy was a happenin' dude
They said he hey Billy
Do whatever you choose
Just sing the yodelin' blues
So they got a big buss and a semi too
A hit song, record deal, dream come true
You can see 'em on the TV
And the front page news
They're done payin' their dues
Long as Billy sings the yodelin' blues.

Then There's You
(Steve Seskin/Paul Young/Pat MacDonald)
Another Monday morning
Gotta clear my head
No more time for dreaming
Traffic was nightmare
Boss is on my back
If I hear one more cross word
I think I'm gonna crack
CHORUS:
Then there's you
Coming in right on cue
When I say no can do
You give me strength to fight
To see that there's shades of blue
Everything's black and white
And then there's you
The sky is clear this morning
Looks like a brighter day
And I don't need to worry
When it fades away
CHORUS:
('Cause) Then there's you
Someone to hold on to
When all of my plans fall through
You give me strength to fight
To see that there's shades of blue
Everything's in black and white
And then there's you.
BRIDGE:
You keep me warm when nights are cold
You, you light a fire in my soul.

Williamstown
(Steve Wilkinson/John Scott Sherrill)
My momma always told me
Don't you hang around those
Williamstown boys
And don't be blind girl they're not our kind
But she never met Willy McCoy.
The sun comes up at his house
The same as it does at mine
And why the two of us should never touch
Is something I just can't get through my mind
CHORUS 1:
In a passing car I saw him through the window
I could swear I caught him looking back
If there's a chance for love to grow
I might never know
'Cause I'm stuck here
On the right side of the tracks.
Funny how a set of rusty rails
Built a wall that we can't break down
I know my baby's a stone's throw away
But it's a million miles from here
To Williamstown
CHORUS 2:
And if that train still stopped here at the station
We could hop on board and never look back
Until love can cross the line
Between his world and mine
I'm stuck here on the right side of the tracks.
