| http://www.thedaughters.net/albumcovers/makin'1.jpg CORNFIELDS OR CADILLACS (3:31) Marcus Hummon, Monty Powell, Mike Noble Careers - BMG Music Publishing (BMI)/Floyd's Dream Music (BMI) Bright lights, big city, small town, ooh so pretty One of these days I'm gonna have to choose Between Dear John and John Deere Should I hit the road or stay right here From where I stand, both ways I stand to lose Is it gonna be CHORUS Cornfields or Cadillacs Subway rails or railroad tracks Slow porch swing, five-lane fast track Dirt road, black top, girl don't look back There's a farm boy in the rear view mirror With a tremblin' lip and dust bowl tears He says, "You gotta chase your dreams or chase me What's it gonna be?" Cornfields or Cadillacs I want him, but I want that I want it all, but I can't have it The grass looks mighty green on both sides So I hit the brakes, I stomp on the gas At this rate goin' nowhere fast One of these miles, I'm gonna make up my mind Is it gonna be CHORUS SOLO CHORUS repeat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LONELY GYPSY WIND (3:06) Greg Barnhill/J. Leiske/A. Kelman/S.R. Samograd Mike Chapman Publishing Enterprises/Bayou Liberty Music/All Nations Music/ Stubble Jumper Music (SOCAN) I save my tears 'cause I've done my cryin' There's no use in me denyin' My old friend this lonely gypsy wind Lord I'm gettin' that feelin' again Feelin' kinda restless and it's hard to pretend Same anxiety is settlin' in That I'm close but I still ain't home You don't know my life and the time I spent Trying to get to leaving out from under my skin Get my self convinced and then Ties that bind unwidn again CHORUS Heaven help me when it starts blowin' I try to fight it but I know I'm goin' There's a place that calling destination I don't know Save my tears 'cause I've done my cryin' There's no use in me denyin' My old friend, this lonely gypsy wind Some find peace in solid ground Find themselves a reason for hangin' around The only kinda peace I have ever found Is the rustlin' of the leaves and a highway sound CHORUS repeat, out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOW THAT I'M ON MY OWN (3:27) Darrel Scott EMI April Music/House of Bram (ASCAP) Now that I'm on my own Now that I've made my choice I put my feet on the road Listened to my own voice Sayin' take the time Take it slow Take it anywhere you wanna go Life is short, this I know Now that I'm on my own I know what kept me here Seein' your heart of stone Thinkin' I put it there BRIDGE Givin' all, givin' in Not givin' up until the end Oh and this is the end, I know CHORUS But the daylight's a little brighter And the midnight's a little darker And I'm flying a little higher Fallin' a little harder But I know I'm more alive From all the tears I have cried Take the time, take it slow Take it anywhere you wanna go Lfe is short, this I know CHORUS But I know that I'm alive Because the dead never cry Now that I'm on my own YOU SAID (3:28) Beth Neilsen Chapman Chapman - BMG Song Inc.(ASCAP) You said That our love would last forever And now you're tellin' me You're leavin' instead After all that you said You said those in love should stay together Even in rocky seas That wasn't somethin' I read That's somethin' you said CHORUS Lately, every time we talk we fight We let our pride get in our way Don't leave, say that we can make it right Let's get our good love through these bad days You said You would be here if I need you I really need you now Don't stand there shakin' your head Just do what you said…that's right SOLO CHORUS CHORUS repeat and out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCLEMENCY (3:54) Greg Barnhill/J. Leiske/A. Kelman/SR Samograd Mike Chapman Publishing Enterprises/Bayou Libery Music/All Nations Music /Stubble Jumper Music (SOCAN) Sometimes you can't shake the rain When it keeps fallin' down down Sometimes these clouds make me feel so socked in Maybe I'll leave this town Nobody'll ever hear from me Or stay in bed and watch some sad old movie CHORUS It's harder on days like these To make up your mind 'bout the simple things I look out and all I see Is this damned inclemency Sometimes I can't shake the pain It just don't wanna let me be Maybe the sky is cryin' for me I might just walk these cobblestones All the way to Gastown Or hole up with a good glass of red And watch these candles burn down CHORUS It's harder on days like these To make up your mind 'bout the simple things To make any sense out of anything I look out and all I see Is this damned inclemency CHORUS repeat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ODE TO BILLY JOE 4:36 Bobbie Gentry Northridge Music Company/All Nations Music (ASCAP) It was the 3rd of June another sleepy dusty delta day I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was bailin' hay And at dinnertime we stoped and walked back To the house to eat And mama hollered out the back door ya'll remember To wipe your feet And then she said I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge Today Billy Joe McCallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge And papa said to Mama as he passed around the black-eyed peas Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense,pass the biscuits please There's five more acres in the lower 40 I got to plow And Mama said it weas a shame about Billy Joe anyhow Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge And now Billy Joe McCallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge An' brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billy Joe Put a frog down my back at the Carol County Picture Show And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right I saw him at the sawmill yesterday up on Choctaw Ridge And now you tell me Billy Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge Mama said to me, "Child what's happened to your appetite? I been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, stopped by today Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh by the way He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge And she and Billy Joe was throwin'something off the Tallahatchie Bridge A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe And brother married Becky Thompson they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus goin' round, papa caught it and he died last spring And now mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TALL DRINK OF WATER Zack Turner/Susan Longacre Coburn Music Inc. (BMI)/W.B.M/Long Acre Music (SESAC) I was holed up down in Texas in the middle of July With a big 'ol thirsty moon hangin' heavy in the sky When a sudden wild wind blew a stranger along With dust on his heart and honey on his tongue I was lookin' for some thunder 'cuz that Friday night was slow There's more to life than watchin' Armidillos cross the road I saw him and I knew he'd be a story to tell The livin' breathin' end of my long dry spell CHORUS He was a tall drink of water straight out of Abilene Six feet of country walkin' right into my dream He was like a river rollin' but I slowed him down a lot He was a tall drink of water and I drank every drop He was cool and gentle, knew what love was all about We wore a hundred records and that old moon out As he fired up his Shelby disappeared into the dawn I felt another long hot dry spell comin' on CHORUS repeat and out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WALKING AWAY FOR YOU Marcus Hummon Careers - BMG Music Publishing Inc/Floyd's Dream Music (BMI) You know I feel like I am drowning in your tears As I turn and walk away from you You see this life that I am leadin' There's no place for one like you Town to town the road gets hard Very few survive the crowds long enough To build a home where love can stay And it hurts me to say CHORUS Walkin' away is the best I can do Sometimes in love you must be willin' to lose So think of me in years to come as one who loved you true Thinking of me as walking away for you You saw through all my lines and you never said a word You left me with my foolish pride Yes this life that I am leading, there's a place for one like you Town to town the road gets hard But you'd survive because you're strong Strong enough to know I am the one who's scared I'm afraid to really care CHORUS repeat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS THAT AND THE OTHER THING Spencer Bernard/Tim Norton EMI April Music Inc./New Perspective Publishing (ASCAP) Famous MusicCorp./Song Matters Inc. (ASCAP) No he ain't perfect this man of mine He wrote me a love song and the words don't rhyme He drives me crazy, how he's late all the time But I love my baby just the same The reasons why are hard to explain CHORUS He makes me feel ooh, ah, I can't quite describe it Something 'bout that boy, just makes me get up and sing My heart goes ooh, ah, the only way to say it It's just this, that and the other thing The other thing He steals all my best jokes and gets the punch lines wrong For my birthday he bought me Amerige and left the price tag on He says "I can do that" when we're watching James Bond That's the funny thing about love Ooh, I love my baby all because CHORUS He may not always notice what I do to my hair But he sure knows when to hold my hand He sings off key, but wait a minute I don't care That's my baby, that's my man, that's my man That's the funny thing about love He's my baby all because of what he does CHORUS repeat I'm talkin' 'bout this, that and the other thing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT 3:39 Greg Barnhill/J. Leiske/A. Kelman/SR Samograd Mike Chapman Publishing & Bayou Liberty Music/All Nations Music (???)/ Stubble Jumper Music (SOCAN) Somethin' sparked a memory today I couldn't wait to see if you remembered it the same So many things in life go rushing by Thank God we took the time To frame it in our minds 'Cause we are only living in a moment CHORUS Look at me right now If you want to know what love is In our autumn hours these are seasons we'll remember As the lights of time are fading Hold these moments close and know without a doubt That's what it's all about The tower clock struck 4 a.m. And just the way you said it took me there again I felt the warmth of that cold night The story's still the same, the memory hasn't changed I know it down to hours, seconds, moments CHORUS BRIDGE Sometimes at night I say my thanks in prayer That it's still me and you Can't live without the way you look at me right now CHORUS Repeat |
