Alt. Title	Nineteen Ninety Nine

Writers	John Heaton, Lawrence Corky Lang, William Wallace, Steve Wilkinson

Genres	Country

Recorded	2000

Lyrics	YOU CALLED ME BY HER NAME AGAIN, THINKING I WAS HER AGAIN, WHEN'S THIS EVER GONNA END, OH, YOU'RE LIVING SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST, MISSING LOVE THAT DIDN'T LAST, AND WHAT WE HAVE IS FADING FAST. OH...OHAND THIS AIN'T NINETEEN NINETY NINE, THIS IS HERE AND NOW, YOU ARE MINE BUT YOU'RE CHEATIN' ON ME, YOU'RE CHEATIN' ON US, YOU'RE CHEATIN' YOURSELF RIGHT OUT OF LOVE. YOU'RE SLIPPING AWAY FROM ME UNCONSCIOUSLY, AND I'M LOSING YOU TO SOME OLD MEMORY. YOU'RE HAUNTED BY THAT GHOST IN YOU, SHE ALWAYS GETS THE MOST OF YOU, JUST WANT TO BE THAT CLOSE TO YOU. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG, I CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND. BUT THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT I'M BEING LEFT BEHIND, I'M BEING LEFT BEHIND.

The Wilkinsons

Writers	William Wallace, Steve Wilkinson

Genres	Country

Recorded	1998

Lyrics	SHE SAT ALL ALONE ON A BUS OUT OF BEAUMONT, THE COURAGE OF JUST EIGHTEEN YEARS. A PENNY AND QUARTER TAPED TO A LETTER, AND 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 TWENTY SIX CENTS. WHEN YOU GET LONELY, CALL ME, ANY TIME 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 OF YOUR MOMMA'S LOVE. A PENNY AND A QUARTER BUYS A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING TAPED TO AN OLD WRINKLED NOTE, AND WHEN SHE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH SHE HAD ALL MOMMA'S LOVE INSIDE THAT OLD ENVELOPE. OH, IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE MOMMA'S BEEN GONE. BUT WHEN SHE HOLDS THE COINS SHE FEELS THE HER LOVE JUST AS STRONG.

EIGHT BY TEN, EIGHT BY TEN, MY LONELY WORLD IS EIGHT BY TEN.

Lyrics	[verse 1]: THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' I CAN DO, NOR NOTHIN' I CAN SAY, THAT FOLKS DON'T CRITICIZE ME; BUT I'M GONNA DO JUST AS I WANT TO ANYWAY, I DON'T CARE IF THEY ALL DESPISE ME. [Chorus 1]: IF I SHOULD TAKE A NOTION TO JUMP INTO THE OCEAN, 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO. IF I GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, THEN CABARET ALL DAY THRU MONDAY, 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO. IF MY FRIEND GOT NO MONEY AND I SAY, TAKE ALL MINE, HONEY, 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO. IF I GIVE HER MY LAST NICKEL AND IT LEAVES ME IN A PICKLE, 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO.

[Chorus 2]: IF I DISLIKE MY LOVER AND LEAVE HER FOR ANOTHER, 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO. RATHER THAN PERSECUTE ME, I CHOOSE THAT YOU WOULD SHOOT ME, 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO. IF I SHOULD GET THE FEELIN' TO DANCE UPON THE CEILIN', 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO. IF I LET MY BEST COMPANION DRIVE ME RIGHT INTO THE CANYON, 'T AIN'T NOBODY'S BIZ-NESS IF I DO.

Lyrics	WELL, I WENT TO A TURKEY ROAST DOWN THE STREET, THE PEOPLE DOWN THERE EATING LIKE WILD GEESE, I'M ON MY WAY, I'M GOIN' BACK TO ALABAM. TALK ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE HAVIN' WHALE OF A TIME, EATIN' UP THE CHICKEN AND DRINKIN' THEIR WINE, I'M ON MY WAY, I'M GOIN' BACK TO ALABAM. NOW SOME FOLKS SAY THAT A TRAMP WON'T STEAL, BUT I CAUGHT THREE IN MY CORNFIELD, I'M ON MY WAY, I'M GOIN' BACK TO ALABAM. ONE HAD A BUSHEL, THE OTHER HAD A PECK, ONE HAD A ROASTED EAR TIED AROUND HIS NECK, I'M ON MY WAY, I'M GOIN' BACK TO ALABAM. THERE COMES SAL WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET, WITH THE RUNDOWN SHOES TIED ON HER FEET, GOOD MORNING, HONEY, STAND OVER THERE, BABY, GET OVER THERE NOW. HELLO, SAL, NOW, I KNOW YOU, WITH THE RUNDOWN SLIPPER AN' A TORE UP SHOE, I'M ON MY WAY, I'M GOIN' BACK TO ALABAM. WHEN I GET READY TO LEAVE THIS EARTH, I'M GONNA LOOK BACK ON MY MONEY'S WORTH, I'M ON MY WAY, I'M GOIN' BACK TO ALABAM. I'M GOIN' BACK TO ALABAM.

All Along

Amanda Stott

Writers	Randy Goodrum, Steve Wilkinson

Genres	Country, Ballad

Recorded	2000

Lyrics	YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING ME FROM A DISTANCE, TRYING TO KEEP THE PIECES ALL IN PLACE. IN MY HEART IS A FOOLISH PERSISTENCE, BEEN TAKING YOU FOR GRANTED UP UNTIL TODAY. WHAT WE HAVE IS GOOD BUT COULD SOON BE GONE, AIN'T IT JUST LIKE YOU TO BE SO STRONG. ALL ALONG, YOU'VE BEEN RIGHT THERE WAITING PATIENTLY. ALL ALONG, WHILE I WAS CHASING DREAM AFTER DREAM ON MY OWN. I'VE SPENT ALL MY TIME TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT STAR TO WISH UPON. I NEVER KNEW THAT IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG. CAN'T YOU SEE THE REGRET, HOW IT HOLDS ME, WRAPPED AROUND MY SOUL LIKE A WINTER CHILL. I COULD LET IT GO IF YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU ALWAYS LOVED ME AND YOU ALWAYS WILL. WHAT WE HAVE IS GOOD BUT COULD SOON BE GONE, AIN'T IT JUST LIKE LOVE TO BE SO STRONG, AIN'T IT JUST LIKE YOU TO KEEP OUR LOVE BURNING STRONG. ALL ALONG, YOU'VE BEEN RIGHT THERE WAITING PATIENTLY. ALL ALONG, WHILE I WAS CHASING DREAM AFTER DREAM ON MY OWN. I'VE SPENT ALL MY TIME TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT STAR TO WISH UPON. I NEVER KNEW THAT IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG.

Lyrics	THE FIRST RULE IS THERE AIN'T NO RULES SOME YOU WIN AND SOME YOU LOSE. JUST WHEN YOU THINK THAT LOVE IS TRUE SOMEBODY MAKES A FOOL OUTTA YOU, LIKE IT OR NOT, ONE THING'S FOR SURE ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR. YOU AND ME MAKE LOVE ALL NIGHT, END UP IN A KNOCK DOWN DRAG OUT FIGHT, KICK AND CUSS AND SCREAM AND SHOUT, TILL WE'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT WE'RE FIGHTIN' ABOUT. THEN WE KISS AND MAKE UP AND LOVE SOME MORE 'CAUSE ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR. ANYTHING GOES WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE SOMEONE'S GOIN' DOWN WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE. IT'S A FIGHT TO THE FINISH WITH NO HOLDS BARRED, IF SOMEONE WINDS UP WITH A BROKEN HEART, THAT'S TOUGH. BABY, YOU KNOW THAT I SURE WOULD GRIEVE IF YOU WERE EVER TO LEAVE ME. GUESS I'D HAVE TO FIND ME SOMEONE NEW, SOMEONE WHO'S A LITTLE BIT PRETTIER THAN YOU JUST TO EVEN UP THE SCORE, 'CAUSE ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR. LIKE IT OR NOT, ONE THING'S FOR SURE, ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR.

Lyrics	HOW I'D LOVE TO BE AROUND YOU WHEN THE LONELY NIGHT SURROUNDS YOU, HOW I'D LOVE TO BE ALONE WITH YOU? WHAT I'D GIVE TO HAVE THE POWER TO READ YOUR MIND ONE HOUR, HOW I'D LOVE TO BE ALONE WITH YOU. JUST TO BE WITH YOU ONE NIGHT, YOU AND ME ALONE, KISS YOUR LIPS AND HOLD YOU TIGHT AND HAVE YOU FOR MY OWN. IF I ONLY KNEW FOR CERTAIN I'D CUT OUT ALL MY FLIRTIN', HOW I'D LOVE TO BE ALONE WITH YOU? HOW I'D LOVE TO BE AROUND YOU WHEN THE LONELY NIGHT SURROUNDS YOU, HOW I'D LOVE TO BE ALONE WITH YOU. THIS COULD BE A JOY UNENDING, COULD BE A REAL BEGINNING, HOW I'D LOVE TO BE ALONE WITH YOU.

Recorded	1946

Lyrics	verse 1: YOUR EYES ONCE TOLD ME A STORY I BUILT MY CASTLES ON AIR. LIFE WAS SOON DIMMED OF ITS GLORY, I LOVED BUT YOU CEASED TO CARE. Chorus: THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR ME, OF DAYS THAT USED TO BE, I LIVE IN MEMORY AMONG MY SOUVENIRS. SOME LETTERS TIED WITH BLUE, A PHOTOGRAPH OR TWO, I SEE A ROSE FROM YOU AMONG MY SOUVENIRS. A FEW MORE TOKENS REST WITHIN MY TREASURE CHEST, AND THO' THEY DO THEIR BEST TO GIVE ME CONSOLATION, I COUNT THEM ALL APART, AND AS THE TEAR DROPS START, I FIND A BROKEN HEART AMONG MY SOUVENIRS. verse 2: YOU BROKE THE NEWS TO ME KINDLY, I CAN'T SAY YOU WERE NOT FAIR. YET, JUST BECAUSE I LOVED BLINDLY, I HAVE THE BURDEN TO BEAR. Chorus: THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR ME, OF DAYS THAT USED TO BE, I LIVE IN MEMORY AMONG MY SOUVENIRS. SOME LETTERS TIED WITH BLUE, A PHOTOGRAPH OR TWO, I SEE A ROSE FROM YOU AMONG MY SOUVENIRS. A FEW MORE TOKENS REST WITHIN MY TREASURE CHEST, AND THO' THEY DO THEIR BEST TO GIVE ME CONSOLATION, I COUNT THEM ALL APART, AND AS THE TEAR DROPS START, I FIND A BROKEN HEART AMONG MY SOUVENIRS.
