Wynonna Album

Words and Music by Jeff H. Bullock and Brent Maher

I'm gonna pack my bags and drive all night
I'll be in the mountains by morning light
Drive the road I traveled years ago
As a young girl leaving home

With dreams as big as the trees were tall
I knew I'd have nothing or I'd have it all
And you all know what happens when the bright lights call
You're either gonna make or you're gonna fall
Make it or you're gonna fall

(Chorus)

I'm a dream chaser, a star gazer that's what I am
But I've always known I'd come back home when I found my rainbows end
Rainmakers and heartbreakers could never change my plans
Dream chaser, that's what I am

I'm goin' home where the stars shine bright in a mountain sky
That path above I've followed all of my life
It's guiding me back to where my dreams began
Then I'll be gone again
I'll be gone again

(Repeat Chorus)

Dream chaser, that's what I am

Friday finally came around
This girl's ready to paint the town
Tonight ain't nothin' gonna slow me down

I did my time workin' all week
Tonight's all mine, tomorrow I'll sleep
I wanna hear a band with a country sound

(Chorus)

Well, I've been couped up all week long
I've been workin' my fingers to the bone
Well, it's a girl's night out
Honey, there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna dance every dance 'til the boys go home
Well, it's my night to rock
No watchin' that ol' clock
Oh, ain't no doubt, Lordy it's a girl's night out

Two step or the Cotton Eye Joe
They can play 'em fast or they can play 'em slow
I can do 'em all just show me the floor
You can give me a little rock 'n roll
Or even a waltz with the lights down low
I'll still be dancin' when they close the door

Well, I've been couped up all week long
I've been workin' my fingers to the bone
Well, it's a girl's night out
Honey, there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna dance every dance 'til the boys go home
Well, it's my night to rock
No watchin' that ol' clock
Oh, ain't no doubt, Lordy it's a girl's night out

Well, it's a girl's night out
Honey, there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna dance every dance 'til the boys go home
Well, it's my night to rock
No watchin' that ol' clock
Oh, ain't no doubt, Lordy it's a girl's night out

Friday finally came around
This girl's ready to paint the town
Tonight ain't nothin' gonna slow me down

I did my time workin' all week
Tonight's all mine, tomorrow I'll sleep
I wanna hear a band with a country sound

Love ain't a candle
It doesn't burn for one night
And need the dark to shine
Love is alive

And love ain't just a word
In every dictionary
With no where defined
Love is a man and he's mine

(Chorus)

Love is alive
And at breakfast table
Everyday of the week
Love is alive
And it grows everyday and night
Even in our sleep
Love is alive
And it's made a happy woman out of me
Oh love is alive
And here by me

Love ain't just a rule
A distant far away dream
That needs the night to rise
Love is alive
And love ain't just a song
Sweet words of music
To go dancin' by
Love is a man and he's mine

(Repeat Chorus)

Love is alive, here by me

(Repeat and fade)

If you hear her cry at night
Better turn on your light
Maybe your baby's got the blues
When she says there's nothing wrong
She just wants to be alone
You can bet your baby's got the blues

(Chorus)

Women like men to make the first move
And touch her like he used to
When there's achin' in her heart
Only tenderness can find
Women like men to make them feel alive
And keep her apron strings untied
Yes women like men
To love them through the blues sometime

When her days all run the same
And she says she thinks she needs a change
Maybe your baby's got the blues
If she says she's just a wife
And so far from the glamorous life
You can bet your baby's got the blues

(Repeat Chorus)

Yes, women like men to love them through the blues sometimes

She was sitting crossed legged on a hood of a ford
Filing down her nails with a emory board
Talking to her friends about people they knew
And allof the things that young girls do
When she said you see that guy in the baseball cap
I'd like to spend some time with a boy like that
Betty said I seen him at the hardware store
I think his name is Billy, but i'm not sure
And as they talked a little while he passed by
She smiled at him he just said "hi"
He was thinking to him self as he walked away
Man I'd like to find a girl like her someday

(Chorus)

Young love, strong love, true love
It's a new love
Their gonna make it through the hard times
Walk those lines

Young love
We'll she just couldn't stop her self from thinking about him
And at a store downtown she saw him again
she had both hands full
He held open the door
Said my name is Billy
I've seen you before
Can I help you with these
Can I give you a ride
Can I take you out on a Saturday night
She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside
He could see the answer shining in her eyes

(Chorus)

We'll from that day on
You couldn't keep them apart
They were side by side, heart to heart
Momma cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand
And when the baby was born she was crying again
Well he worked real hard and put some money down
On a little old house at the edge of town
And that night as he held her he couldn't believe
That god had made a girl that he'd never ever leave

(Chorus)

She was sitting crossed legged on the hood of a ford
Filing down her nails with an emory board

Well, ever since the day that time began,
There's been this thing between a woman and a man.
I don't know, but I do believe,
That it started in the Garden with Adam an' Eve.
Samson and Delilah had their fling,
Till she cut his hair and clipped his wings.
It don't matter how the story's told,
'Cause love stays young, it can't grow old.

Let me tell you it 'bout love,
About the moon an' the stars above.
It's what we've all been dreamin' of.
Let me tell you it 'bout love.

Well, Boneparte an' Josephine,
I believe they had a pretty good scene,
Until she said: "Boney, boy we're through."
An' that's when he met his Waterloo.
Julie, baby, an' Romeo,
Fell in love an' stole the show.
I know they are history,
But there ain't been nothin' like you an' me.

Let me tell you it 'bout love,
About the moon an' the stars above.
It's what we've all been dreamin' of.
Let me tell you it 'bout love.
Let me tell you it 'bout love.

Instrumental Break.

Now Sheba, she was a beauty queen:
The prettiest thing you ever seen.
Now Solomon, he was mighty wise,
But Sheba, she done caught his eye.
World would be in a dreadful fix,
If it wasn't for the love between cats an' chicks.
This world, it wouldn't amount to much,
Without a hug an' kiss and a tender touch.

Let me tell you it 'bout love,
About the moon an' the stars above.
It's what we've all been dreamin' of.
Let me tell you it 'bout love.

Let me tell you it 'bout love,
About the moon an' the stars above.
It's what we've all been dreamin' of.
Let me tell you it 'bout love.
Let me tell you it 'bout love.
Let me tell you it 'bout love.
Yeah

I'd gladly walk across the desert
with no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
of bread I had to eat

I would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinking
Let me show you what love means

Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time

I would whisper love so loudly
Every heart would understand
That love and only love
Can join the tribes of man

I would give my heart's desires
So that you might see
The first step is to realize
That it all begins with you and me

When we stand together
It's our finest hour
We can do anything, anything
If we keep believing in the power

Love can build a bridge
Between your heat and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time

Don't you think it's time

Words and Music by Dave Loggins

Billy was a small town loner
Who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern Arizona
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladder
He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will

He met Miss Bonnie
And a little bit of her was a little too much
A few movies and a few months latter
The feeling got strong enough
They didn't own a car
So it must have been love
That drove him uptown for a diamond
That's when he started goin'

(Chorus)

Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted
'Cause without her where would he be?
See, it's not for him
She is his only need

Ring on her finger and one on the ladder
A new promotion every now and then
Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
And my, how the time did fly
The babies grew up and moved away
Left 'em sitting on the front porch rocking
And Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray

And ev'ry once in a while you could see him get up
And he'd head downtown
'Cause he heard about something she wanted
And it just had to be found
Didn't matter how simple or how much
It was love
And, boy, ain't that love just something
When it's strong enough to keep a man goin'

(Repeat Chorus)

Over the line
Working overtime
She is his only need
His only need
Overboard
Over the limit
Just for her
She is his only need
His only need

Words and Music by Karla Bonoff

Everywhere I look the sun is shining
But it's always raining here inside
I can see
You really had a hold on me
It's a mean old love
With a flame that never dies

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Everywhere I go you're in my shadow
When I turn around there's no one there
And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Won't you tell me why

Ask anyone you know
And they'll say love fades away
But this hearts' cryin' just like yesterday

And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

So won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Words and Music by Sam Lorber, Stewart Harris and Jill Colucci

I've been a rock and I've got my fences
I never let them down
When it comes to love, I keep my senses
I don't get kicked around
I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now I'm out of control
How did you get to me?

(Chorus)

No one else on earth could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth was ever worth it
No one can love me like
No one can love me like you

You can make me want you any time you want to
You're burnin' me alive
I can't deny you even when I catch you
Weavin' a weak alibi
'Cause when the night falls you make me forget
Your love is killing me and it ain't over yet
How did you get to me?

(Repeat Chorus)

I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now I'm out of control
How did you get to me?

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Words and Music by Naomi Judd

It's finally over
But I can't even cry
So, don't you give me no sweet talk
You done told your last lie

I was your puppet
Just a dancin', dancin' on a string
But when the sun went down last night,
Lord, it changed everything

Today I feel different
‘Cause now I can see
That you care more ‘bout yourself
Than mistreatin' me

It took me a long time
To figure you out
But misery and pain
Ain't what loves all about

(Chorus)

I was your woman
But ya threw it away
I used to be your very own
Custom made, love slave, do anything for you, little fool
But that was yesterday
That was yesterday

And so it goes
Another lesson gets learned
And in the big book of experience
Another page gets turned

Now you say you need me
Well, honey, you got some nerve
I hope some sweet tomorrow
We'll get what we deserve

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm packing up and movin' on
Your real good thing is good and gone

Lyrics by: Mick Jones
Special Appearance by Jeff Beck

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

This mountain I must climb
Feels like the world's upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Chorus
I want to know what love is
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Repeat Chorus

Words and Music by Billy Kirsch

Tell me when I can open my eyes
I don't want to watch you walk out that door
There's no easy way to get through goodbye
I'd probably try and talk you into staying once more

Or I'd lie and say it's all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I'm not up to being strong
So I'll wait until you're gone
Is it over yet, is it over yet?

A taxi's waiting in the driveway for you
You call my name, I guess your ready to leave
I'd like to help you with a suitcase or two
But I'm afraid I'm gonna wind up down on my knees

I should tell you that I want you to go
I really need to spend some time on my own
Smile and say goodbye
So you don't see me dying inside
Is it over yet, is it over yet?

I should lie and say it's all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I'm not up to being strong
So I'll wait until your gone
Is it over yet, is it over yet?

Hey
When you wish upon a star
Dreams will take you very far
When you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems, oh yeah
Once you see your light so clear
In the sky so very dear, yeah

You're a shining star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see, what you can truly be
What you can truly be

[Instrumental]

(Spoken: Work it)

Shining star come into view
Shine it's watchful light on you
Give me strength to carry on, yeah
Yeah, oh make your body big and strong, yeah
On an adventure of the sun, yeah
Yes all my work has just begun
??????????????
That's it now I got my own oh yeah

So if you find yourself in need
Why don't you listen to his words of heat
Be a child free of sin
Words of wisdom: yes I can

You're a shining star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see, what you can truly be
You're a shining star, yeah, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see, what you can truly be
You're a shining star, yeah, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see, what you can truly be

Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be

That's what you are!

Words and Music by Gary Burr and Mike Reid

Love that's worth fighting for
That's what this is
And how, how could I want more
Than the warmth of your kiss
No matter how many miles and dreams
Come between us now
In each step I take, with each prayer I make
This love will live somehow

(Chorus)

Let the mountains rise, I will climb them all
When my body's weak, I will not fall
Baby, come what may I'll find a way to get through
There's nothing that I won't do
To be loved by you

There will be lonely nights
When you'll whisper my name
Know on those lonely nights, I'll be doing the same
Should every star in the sky go out
Just keep your faith alive
We were meant to be, this is destiny
It cannot be denied
And even when we're worlds apart
Just keep this promise in your heart

Written by Joni Mitchell

Help me
I think I'm falling in love again
When I get that crazy feeling
I know I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler
And a gambler
And a sweet-talking ladies' man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom

Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some
Hot, hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ashes
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

Oh, didn't it feel good
We were sitting there talking
Or lying there not talking
Didn't it feel good
You dance with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good

Help me
I think I'm falling in love with you
Are you going to let me go there by myself
That's such a lonely thing to do
Both of us flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

(with Naomi Judd/Kenny Wayne Shepherd)
Lyrics by: Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Mark Selby, Tia Sillers

You go where you want to
Go out on the town
Expect to keep me waitin'
With that law you're layin' down
That ain't right
Tonight I'm breaking free
Ain't gonna work no more
Don't you throw that mojo on me

You got some magic
I'll give you that
It just ain't worth it
I ain't going back
No more
Under your lock and your key
I know that look
Don't you throw that mojo on me

You ain't gonna be my hangman
I ain't gonna wear no noose
Well I got somethin' here now baby
I'll be turnin' loose
You ain't the only one
I got some tricks up my sleeve
It might come back to haunt you
Don't you throw that mojo on me

Yeah, it might come back to haunt you
Don't you throw that mojo on me

(Original by Melissa Etheridge)

Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
Yes I'm the only one who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

I'm the only one

Lyrics by: Derek George / Neil Thrasher / Bryan White

What I am supposed to do with this house, and these cars
All this so called success the good Lord's given me
I'd gladly give it all away right now,
Just to see you walk through that gate
Up the drive and back to the simple we used to be
Before the money and the lawyers and the lies and the chains
And all this fame

Chorus
Sometimes I feel like Elvis
Here I am with everything and nothing at all
I've never felt so helpless
I don't know who I am now that you're gone
Sometimes I feel like Elvis

I remember the first time I saw you, you killed me
I'd never wanted anything or anyone so bad
I took for granted that just because of who I was
You'd be there, while I gave the rest of the world all I had
Everything got crazy, it all happened so fast
It was outta my hands

Chorus
Sometimes I feel like Elvis
Here I am with everything and nothing at all
I've never felt so helpless
I don't know who I am now that you're gone

Bridge
Sometimes I feel like I'm on stage
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy

REPEAT HALF CHORUS

What am I suppose to do with this house and these cars
I'd gladly give it all away right now
Just to see you

Sometimes I Feel like Elvis

Lyrics by: Dennis Linde

Lord almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher and higher
It's burning through to my soul

Baby, baby, baby
You're gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
And I don't know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
Nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

It's coming closer
The flames are now licking my body
Won't you help me
I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breathe
And my chest is just a-heaving
Lord, a'mercy
Burning a hole in me

Cause your kisses life me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah burning love

I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
(repeats seven times)

Lyrics by: Brett James / Holly Lamar

I look around at all the faces and I see
All the lonely people looking back at me
Rich, poor don't matter we're all the same
Everybody's hungry in a different way
We're clawin' and climbin' and kickin' and screamin' and fightin' but really

Chorus
What the world needs now is love
Love and only love
A little help from up above
Faith to make a better day
Let's come together
Lay our differences down
Spread it all around
That's what the world needs now

(La, la, la, la, la)

Sometimes all it takes is just a smile
To change somebody's weather
Chase the clouds out of their sky
Sometimes you gotta give and not receive
Sometimes you gotta live what you believe
Open your arms cause that's where it starts
Right here with you and with me

Chorus

Bridge
Nobody likes the cold
We all need someone to hold
No one wants to be alone

Chorus: Repeat 3 times

(Third time: "Let's come together, lay our prejudices down…")
(La, la, la, la, la)

Fade Out

The Best
I call you,when I need you my hearts on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild

You come to me, give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, baby

Chorus:
You're simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
I've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no no baby I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I gte washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms I could be in no better place...

Chorus:
You're simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
I've ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no no baby I would rather be dead

It's the time you leave me I start losing control, you're walking away with my
Heart and my soul, I can feel you even when I?m alone, oh baby don't let go!

And your the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone i've
Ever met!
I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no no baby I would rather be dead, ooh you're the best!

Words and Music by Emory Gordy Jr. and Joe Henry

When I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
And bid farewell to one more day

Every light begins with darkness
Every flower is once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released

I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way

We have hands to hold our sorrow
We have tears to heal the pain
And though your eyes ask many questions
On your lips I hear my name

I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
But when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
I will surely know my way

I've been up and down, sideways, crossways, outside in and inside out
I took a rocket ride across the sky a couple times till the fire burned out
Well I hit the ground a time or two
But I got back up and I found the truth

CHORUS:
I said, hey hey, ole Wynonna's got something to say
Oh, oh, you know I know what I'm talkin' about
There's two ways to take what this old life's gonna throw at you
You can choose to win or lose, it's all about attitude

Well, this world has tried to break me, shake me, tried to take the fight out of me
But I've always come back bigger-badder-better always land on my feet yeah
Well I could've given up could've got down, down, down
But I kept on swingin' and I went another round

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
You can lay it down, you can roll on over, get outta the way, or you can move that mountain over!

FINAL CHORUS
I say hey hey, this red head's got something to say
Oh, oh, you know what I'm talking about y'all
There's two ways to take what this old world's gonna throw at you
It all comes down to you, and attitude...
