Too Big For This Town
by Joy Lynn White, Todd Cerney

Roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Drivin' fast, feel the wind in my face
The time is right for you and me
To finally get out of this place
It's too familiar here, it's driving me insane
It's a great big world and it's callin' out your name

Baby, your dreams are just too big for this town
Baby, your dreams are just too big for this town
So ya drive all night to those big city lights
Yeah, nothin's going to slow ya down
Baby, your dreams are just too big for this town

I got two hundred bucks, you got an old guitar
And a million songs to play
An' the boys back home say you'll never get far
So I just said get outta my way
There's a tomorrow out there with a brand new start
Nothin' can stop you when you're followin' your heart

Baby, your dreams are just too big for this town
Baby, your dreams are just too big for this town
So ya drive all night to those big city lights
Yeah, nothin's going to slow ya down
Baby, your dreams are just too big

solo

Baby, your dreams are just too big for this town

Yeah, nothin's going to slow ya down
Baby, your dreams are just too big for this town

Baby your dreams
Too big for this town

Try Not To Be So Lonely
by Jim Lauderdale

If your first name is trouble and your second name is love
But they'll call you the last one when they use you anymore
Well we might be related, did you lose out on the deal
Try not to be so lonely, I know how it feels

Chorus
You're gonna be fine real soon, you're just healing slowly
You're gonna find your way again
Try not to be so lonely
You might look at a shadow and you think you're in love
Somehow you still manage to pick out the wrong one
And the more you figure out the more you feel like a fool
Try not to be so lonely, I get lonely too

solo

Chorus

Tag
Try not to be so lonely
Try not to be so lonely
Try not to be so lonely

Why Do I Love You
by Jim Lauderdale

Why do I love you
Why do I love you
Oh, I give myself away
I give myself away, away

I had it coming
For holding on to nothing
Oh knowin' you won't change
You'll never feel the same

chorus
Oh, but I'm so weak
I've lost my strength
To fight such a liar
That's filled me with desire

Why do I miss you
And I'm dying just to kiss you
I give myself away
I don't wanna give myself away

solo

Chorus

Why do I love you
Why do I love you
Oh, I give myself away
I don't wanna give myself away
Well, I'd still give myself away

I Doubt If It Does To You
by Gwil Owen

Doesn't the sun shine anymore
Doesn't the moon shine on the shore
Doesn't the earth turn the same way
For you as it does for me, baby

Chorus
I doubt if it does to you
You don't know what I'm goin' through
I doubt if it does to you
You don't know what you put me through

Hasn't the rain stopped coming down
Hasn't the snow gone from the ground
Doesn't it feel like a winter's day
For us to be this way

Chorus

Solo

Doesn't the sun shine anymore
Doesn't the moon shine on the shore
Doesn't the earth turn the same way
For you as it does for me, baby

It's About Me
by Kostas, John Bettis

Love's not easy to hold on to
Still it's so hard to let it go
It's funny how we fall together
And how we end up in love alone
You can blame me if you want to
But there is no right or wrong

Chorus
This time there'll be no more hesitation
This time I'll make my mind up to be free
This time if you need an explanation
This time It's about me

I don't want you changin' for me
We've both been changin' for too long
Time is something you can't make up
Once you lose it, it stays gone
I'm not sayin' there weren't good times
But they're just memories from now on

Chorus 2x

I Just Wanted To See You So Bad

I drove my car in the middle of the night
I just wanna see ya so bad
The road was dark but the stars were bright
I just wanna see ya so bad

It didn't matter what my friends would say
I was gonna see you anyway

I just wanna see you so bad

I just wanna see ya so bad

We'd always talked on the telephone
But I'd never been with you all alone

I got off on the 7th floor

I just wanna see ya so bad

It's Better This Way
by Jim Lauderdale

It's better this way
But I don't understand it
It's better this way
I don't believe it either

We sure had a good thing goin' on
But sometimes even good things might turn out wrong

It's better this way
Someday we'll understand
It's better this way
But it's not better yet

Sometimes two hearts don't fit quite right
But I know I'm gonna miss your heart tonight

It's better this way
I tell myself it's true
It's better this way
Is that what you say, too

It's better this way
But I can hardly stand it
It's better this way
But it's not better yet

The Lucky Few
by Tommy Lee James, Jann Browne, Matt Barnes

I never did have anything
I never wanted much anyway
I never learned how to play the game
Like the lucky few

Had a boyfriend but it fell apart
I never cared much from the start
I keep my distance from those happy hearts
Of the lucky few

Chorus
I know that I'll survive
I'm just glad to be alive
I won't be like you
One of the lucky few

I hang around this crazy town
I watch these people throw their money 'round
The second coming wouldn't slow them down
Sweet Jesus blues

Yeah, Jesus he already knows
Anybody can be bought and sold
I guess he's busy tryin' to save those souls
Of the lucky few

Chorus

I never did have anything
I never wanted much anyway
I never learned how to play the game
Like the lucky few

Chorus

Hey yeah
oh, one of the lucky
one of the lucky few

Life's Just Too Short
by Verlon Thompson, Suzi Ragsdale, Joy Lynn White

As I walk through this world of heartache and grief
With troubles abound to test my belief
I'm learning to let go of the things I can't have
And hold on to the good things I do

Chorus
But I'm not sorry we fell together
An' I'm not sorry we came apart
I won't carry a grudge, that's a load that's too heavy
Life's just too short

We all need forgiveness and we need to forgive
Holding resentment, that's just no way to live
I'll just pick up the pieces, keep traveling on
But I'll leave my regrets behind

Chorus

Life's just too short

I Lost It
by Lucinda Williams

Chorus
I think I lost it,let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it, no memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find another one to compare

Give me some love to fill me up
Give me some time, give me some stuff
Give me a sign, give me some kind of reason
Are ya heavy enough to make me stay
I feel like I might blow away
I thought I was in heaven but I was only dreamin'

Chorus

Solo

I just wanna live the life I please,I don't want no enemies
I don't want nothin' if I have to fake it
Never took nothin' don't belong to me
Everything's paid for nothin's free
If I give my heart will ya promise not to break it

Chorus

tag
Yeah, money can't replace, it no memory can erase it
And I know I'm never gonna find another one to compare
