| Heaven
Bound (I'm Ready)
Another day, same old grind
A tired body and a tired mind
The whistle blows and then I’m free
It’s like an angel calling me
And I’m ready, I’m ready
It’s 5 o’clock and I’m heaven bound
I’m ready, I’m ready
It’s 5 o’clock and I’m heaven bound
Bound, bound, bound
Well I swear that this old truck
Is like a golden chariot
It’s got a short bed and a long loan
But it’s surely gonna carry me home
Been a long day and I’ve worked so hard
Now I’m going to my final reward yeah
It’s purely love and I just can’t wait
To be standing at the pearly gate
I’m gonna leave that weary work day world behind
When I look in your eyes that heavenly light’s gonna shine

When It
Comes To You
I’m a little bit wild, a little bit crazy when it comes to you
I’m a little bit wild, a little bit crazy over you
I don’t know why I love you baby like I do
When it comes to you I just ain’t myself
What I might do next is hard to tell
Ain’t no stopping me when it comes to you
Don’t care how long it might take me
I ain’t giving up
I feel so strong about you baby
Gonna win your love

Change My Mind
I don’t want to lose you
But even a fool could see
Everyday your love is slipping
A little bit further away from me
So I’ll be the one to say goodbye
'Cause your heart’s already gone
Pack my bags and take the midnight train
Unless you say I’m wrong
Change my mind
Say you couldn’t live without me
Say you’re crazy about me
With a look, with a touch
Change my mind
I’m looking in your eyes
For the love we left behind
It’s not too late to change my mind
Something’s come between us
It’s not another lover
One night we just stopped
Trying to please each other
So if it’s really over
Why can’t I walk away
Tell me I’m making a big mistake
Beg me to stay
Give me half a reason
To give it one more try
We could leave this leaving behind

Your Love Made Me This Way
I looked high, I looked low
Always searching for love
Well I try in my soul
But I just couldn’t give up
Then one night so deep
I stepped into paradise
With a smile that's so sweet
You put love into my life
Now I’m so happy, feel like singing
Children laughing, bells are ringing
Feels like heaven, I’m in clover
Sweet as honey, can't get over
Now you gave me the sunshine
Made it brighter each day
So I’ll tell everybody that’ll listen to me
Your love made me this way
Well each day when I rise
I start out thinking of you
There’s no gray in my sky
It stays eternally blue
When the sun sinks low
I’m not alone in the dark
There's a sunny glow
That you put into my heart

If I Were You
You’ve got it made, you’ve got real love
Something you don’t find every day
But you come and go as free as the wind blows
I wouldn’t settle down too soon if I were you
If I were you I’d be satisfied
I'm sure the grass is greener on the other side
If I were you I’d stay by her side
I’d be running wild, I would never leave her
That’s what I would do if I were you
You’ve got it made, you’ve got no one
You don’t have no strings to tie you down
Oh but someone to trust, someone to lean on
That’s something I would hold on to if I were you
O ho, If I were you
I’d know what I would do
If I were in your shoes
O ho, If I were you
Oh I’d be running wild
But every night I’d be satisfied
I wouldn’t change one single thing
If I were you

Walkin' After Midnight
I go out walking after midnight
In the moonlight just like we used to do
I’m always walking after midnight
Searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
That is my way of being close to you
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you
I stop to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow
Maybe he’s crying for me
And as the sky turns gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I’m lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight
In the starlight
Just hoping you may be
Out there walking after midnight
Searching for me

Lucky Moon
I was there in the very next room
She thought I was down the hall
She was talking on the phone like women do
She didn’t know I could hear at all
I heard her say to her very best friend
He doesn’t love me like he did back then
She said lately I’ve been so alone
So tomorrow morning I’ll be gone
Lucky moon stay out tonight, sunlight stay away
I’ve got one more chance to make things right
We’ve gotta make her want to stay
It’s up to me and you, lucky moon
Made reservations at her favorite restaurant
Candle light and expensive wine
Tryin' to let her know that she’s the one that I want
Gotta show her while I’ve still got time
I can’t believe how stupid I’ve been
God knows I love her like I did back then
Better take to heart her warning
Somehow change her mind by morning
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I pray she might
Find a little magic in the moonlight

In A Tender Moment
5 o’clock this morning
The night is giving in
I come home without warning
And quietly let myself in
And as I watch you sleeping
I see the trace of a smile
I know that I’m in your dreams somewhere
And that you still care
And in a tender moment like this
When all I can hear is your breathing
In a tender moment like this
You know you’ve got me believing
That loving you is all there is
In a tender moment like this
Seven days that I’ve been away
Are seven too many for me
But you know that I’ve got to play
It’s me they’re paying to see
And as I watch you sleeping
You slowly open your eyes
That crowd fades to a distant roar
And I’m home once more
All of my life I’ve been burning
With a fire that’s swept me along
But now I would trade every song, every place
For this one moment alone

Love This Cat
Yeah, you got me itching babe
I’m scratching like a hound
Wagging your tail honey all over town
You tell me, roll over Rover
But I can’t go for that
Don’t you treat me like a dog baby
Love this cat
Well every time I try to pet you babe
You turn on me
You’ve got me howling at the moon
And barking up the wrong tree
Why don’t you be my little kitten
Curl up on my lap
Don’t you treat me like a dog baby
Love this cat
Don’t you treat me like a dog
Waiting for his bone
Don’t you put me on a leash
And lead me on
You got me sitting all day
I can’t get enough
Well I’m a cool tomcat
This ain’t no puppy love
Everybody knows that you’re a pedigree
They a come running when you whistle baby
But not me
No I won’t be your little mutt
I wont run with that pack
Don’t you treat me like a dog baby
Love this cat

Baby On Board
Hey there mister in a Cadillac
Get off a my tail get off a my back
Pull on around cause I ain’t gonna drive
Any faster than 55
I’ve got a sign in the window buddy can’t you read
Precious cargo sitting next to me
Ooooooo baby on board
Everybody knows I take it kind a slow
With my baby on board
I want the world to see
Who’s riding next to me
Rocking in my old Ford
With my baby on board
It’s hard enough to keep it on the road
She looks so good I’m about to lose control
God only knows the way she makes me feel
It’s all I can do to keep my hand on the wheel
Well my baby won’t you take a ride
I’ll make sure to keep her satisfied
Riding high rolling down the street
I’ve got an angel here in my front seat

Our Love Is Here To Stay
They all said our love was too
long a shot
If we had listened to them we wouldn’t have what we’ve got
I know we’ve struggled all the way
But we survived to say
Our love is here to stay
Through the storms, through the nights
You and I held each other tight
Knowing the dawn was never far away
Oh through it all we have found
Our love is standing on solid ground
It’s alive and well today
Our love is here to stay
Baby looking back on where we’ve been
If I had the chance I’d do it all again
Bring on tomorrow come what may
There’s nothing we can’t face
Our love is here to stay
Thanks to Jim Story for his assistance on these lyrics
