Then I Saw You

V1
It's been a couple of years since we walked out of each other's lives
I can't say it was easy but after a while all the pain did subside
And I began to live again
And everyone could tell that I'd learned about love and how not to get burned
I believed it too, then I saw you
C
I had everything under control, then I saw you
I realized I had no control when I saw you
V2
I didn't suspect you'd have such an effect on me when I saw you today
There's no dealing with all of the feelings I had, they had not gone away
I never thought it'd be so hard
To find out after all this time that I still feel the same about you
I never knew I'd still love you
Chorus
B
You're still the same as I remember
You haven't changed at all
Now why's it so hard to recall
How you made me take that fall
Chorus
Vamp and out

Martinez

V1
In the city of Billings
Down Oklahoma way
Lives a man they all know by
The name of Martinez
What a line of jive this guy's got
Ask me, I'll say, tell you what
He is one slick hombre
I'm talkin' 'bout Martinez
V2
There is one thing I must say
He is a ladies' man
He can get all the women
He's always got a plan
He can really make the ladies hot
Anything the ladies want
You know that he can do it
I'm talkin' 'bout Martinez
V3
He can get you out of any spot
Or tie you up into a knot
He is one mean hombre
I'm talkin' 'bout Martinez

Airplane

V1
I never knew how long two weeks could be
I never missed you quite as much as now
So far away, so all alone
I think about you almost constantly
I need you more than you could ever know
But it won't be long, 'til I'm back home
I've been away and I ain't been feelin' right
But now I'm gonna put an end to the lonely nights
C
I'm getting in the left lane
I'm heading for an airplane
The one that's waiting to take me back home to you
V2
I'll count the minutes I spend in the air
It's gonna be so good when I get there
Soaring wings, sing for me
My heart is racing but I feel no pain
Know you'll be there when I get off that plane
And your sweet face is all I'll see
One lonely hour can seem like a lonely day
When you are waiting there I know I can't stay away
Chorus
V3
Something you do to me that I can't quite specify
Just makes it harder and harder to say good bye
C
And to count the days again
Until I'm on that airplane
The one that's waiting to take me back home to you

A Fine Irish Girl

V1
I've got a real bad crush on an Irish girl
Some people might think I'm crazy
She's not perfect, but she's all right
She's got a big pair of Irish eyes that glow
And turn me on so bad that I know
Yes I know I'll be thinking dirty thoughts tonight
C
Well she's a fine Irish girl with eyes of green
In a world of her own or so it seems
If she only knew what I was thinkin' right now
I really wonder what she would do
V2
She's got a way of givin' me this feeling
I'd like to get to know her better
If I could think of what to say
I've got a real bad crush on an Irish girl
I really want to win her over
Yes I do, if I can only find a way
C
Cause she's a fine Irish girl with eyes of green
In a world of her own or so it seems
If she only knew what I was thinkin' right now
I really wonder what she would do
Cause she's a fine Irish girl with eyes of green
The best lookin' woman I've ever seen
If she only knew what I was thinkin' right now
I really wonder what she would do, I really wonder

Edge of the Sky
04:06

|
V1
Here we are, all the lights are turned out
Let's stay here a moment and try to find
The moon rising outside the window
'Cause a thought just came to my mind
Back when I was a little child
I knew any time I cared to try
I could run to where the moon was hangin'
Just above the edge of the sky
These thoughts come so easily
When you're with me
C
We can run to the edge of the sky
Where the earth meets the stars, and we'll learn how to fly
We'll hold the moon in our hands and show the world how we can shine
You make it real
At the edge of the sky
V2
It's that way when we're just beginning
The world's full of sweet possibility
It's sweet if we want to believe it
It was you who taught this to me
It was you who saw so clear
The dreams kept inside that I never would share
All the times I tried to find some meaning
The answer was always right there
So grab my hand, let's start this climb
We just need some time
Chorus
B
Just like a song can fill your soul
Span the world and make it whole
It's a new reality
When you're with me

Like to Know You
04:08

|
V1
Did you ever get the feeling
That you just did something wrong
Ever feel like you stumbled in
To where you don't belong
When I first met that woman
I know I felt that way
Knew she was someone I'd never love
So I stayed away, that is until today
V2
'Cause she's been giving me signals
I pretended not to see
I never saw anything at all
That she could see in me
But she walked up to me this morning
And she said she did not know
Why a woman can't make the first move
If a man's too slow, there's one thing I ought to know
C
She said I really would like to know you
I think that we could be the best of friends
Yes I really would like to know you
So I'm working toward that end
I know what kind of guy you are
I realize you're kind of shy
But I really think I could help you
Anyway I'd like to try
V3
I'd never known a woman
To talk to me that way
Leaving me in a state of shock
Not knowing what to say
She said give me your answer
'Cause I don't have all day
I won't do this for just anyone
So speak your head, and this is what I said
C
I said I really would like to know you
I think that we could be the best of friends
Yes I really would like to know you
So I'm working toward that end
I know what kind of girl you are
I realize you're kind of sly
But I really think I could help you
Anyway I'd like to try, like to try

V1
I wanna touch you
I wanna hold you
I wanna kiss you on the mouth
I wanna help you
Out of your blue jeans
I wanna love you till you scream
I could make you happy, I really could
I'm just a friend to you though
And that's no good
C
I don't wanna be your big brother
Don't wanna share you with another
I don't wanna be your big brother
I just wanna be your lover
V2
I'm always trying
To impress you
By giving you expensive stuff
And telling you what
A great guy I am
It never seems to be enough
I feel I'm up against a wall of stone
Can't even kiss you when we're
All alone

V1
Oh can you imagine
Where I'd be today
If you didn't love me
Not much more to say
Oh can you imagine
What I might have done
Without you guiding me to
The right path to run
V2
My life was a puzzle
A long uphill climb
You picked up the pieces
Just in time
Now I can stand up to
This world without fear
You don't have to tell me
It's downhill from here
C
It's all downhill from here
From here

Some Things
03:36

|
C
Some things seem to always escape you
Somehow you can't get your way
Chasing what is always beyond you
You can't give it up, you can't let it lay
V1
LIfe used to be so straight and simple
But now it's just like running in a race
Just when you think it's getting easier
It turns around and starts exploding in your face
The idealistic plans you made
You were gonna be such a big success
But now it's just a great big mess
You don't know why you can't achieve the things you seek
Chorus
V2
You have a hard time living with it
But you could never live without it
We know you're too proud to beg
Maybe someone wrote a book about it
Some people think you've lost your mind
But we know that that's not true
We can see that your time's coming
When it does you'll know exactly what to do
Chorus
V3
LIfe used to be so straight and simple
But now you see it's getting better
We say we knew it all along, the pieces
Fall into place if you just let them
The idealistic dreams you had
You were gonna be such a big success
You can see them all come true
If you have a little faith in your own mind
Chorus

V1
Hello honey, I'm still livin' on tour
I'm callin' on my cell phone from Interstate forty-four
This band's on a roll and I'm the driver, I've got no choice
Another call from the road, it's good to hear your voice
V2
Drivin' a bus for a band has its ups and downs
I sleep when I can, at night I'm cruisin' to the next town
And the quietest part of the ride is just before light
That's when I miss you the most, I'm gonna miss you tonight
Oh, I wish I was
C
Home, I can't wait to be home with you
You're always on my mind no matter what I do
And when this bus is buttoned up tight
And I'm rollin' down this highway tonight
Your love is the light
That leads me back home
B
You lit a fire in my soul
It's keepin' me warm on the road
And I want you so much just like always
Lord keep my hands on the wheel
V3
"Cause Friday night in Tulsa, that's gonna be our last
I'll be drivin' all night tryin' to make the hours go by fast
I want to see you smilin' when I'm pullin' into the drive
So keep your fire burnin' 'til I arrive
Oh, I gotta get

At the Orchid
03:49
|
|||
|
V1
I was sitting in the bar they call the Orchid
With the pictures of Hank Williams and a thousand other stars
When a tall man took the stage up by the window
Set a jar down and put on his guitar
He said I'm sorry if I sound a little ragged
I'm really not a singer, a writer's what I am
I'm gonna play a song I wrote in sixty-seven
I promise that I'll do the best I can
The patrons there weren't paying much attention
To this man with silver hair and an old string tie
But when he sang I realized this was a song I recognized
But different, and I knew why, 'cause
C
He sang it just like he wrote it
And I'd never heard it sung that way before
It truly was the song of a survivor
The lonely writer, standing at the mike
At the Orchid on a July night
B
Well I'd heard he was respected
For his talent and his range
Now the labels want a pop sound
And he refused to change
But he still comes to the Orchid
Just to show he can
Reach a tavern full of strangers
And hold them in his hand
V2
One by one they stopped their conversations
Started listenin' to the music, puttin' money in the jar
Every song he sang, we put our hands together
And got a thank-you from the man with the guitar
Then he said good night and got down from the spotlight
For that moment there was nothing more to say
The neon shed its light as he stepped out into the night
And I saw him smile as he walked away, and

The Key
02:55
|
|||
|
V1
I sit and squirm in your chair
You've called me up to see you and discuss my career
I watch the back of your head
Lookin' out your picture window at your empire so near
Then you turn to me, and the first thing you say
Is if you want to be a player you've got to play this game our way
C
'Cause we hold the key
We have the power to make you reach your dream
This is the only way you'll ever succeed and you know it
We hold the key
V2
I see the light in your eyes
As you stand beneath your trophies of platinum and gold
You say these songs are just great
But what we need is something upbeat to get on the radio
We'll fix your look, grow your hair, get you lean
Gonna tell you every word to say and where you will be seen
Chorus
B
Record man, you're talkin' a big game, like you're doing me a favor
But you need me more than you let on
My friends and I have come so far that I believe
We can reach these dreams on our own
V3
The goal's in sight, we've only got to find the right door
'Cause with or without you, we're gonna get what we came for
C
'Cause we hold the key
We have the power to reach our own dreams
There's more than one way now that we can succeed and you know it
We hold the key
And you know it
We hold the key
