"Houston Solution"

P. Overstreet/D. Schlitz

I've got some friends down in Houston who know me quite well
They'll be more than happy to put me up for a spell
I can hang out or hide out whichever I choose
They won't ask me questions about why I've got the blues
I've got a Houston solution in mind
All it takes is a call on the telephone line
And I can leave all these problems in Nashville behind
I've got a Houston solution in mind
Well, my Daddy once told me you can't run away
Your troubles will follow and find you some day
There's no need to argue cause he's probably right
But I've run out of options and I'm leaving tonight
I've got a Houston solution in mind
All it takes is a call on the telephone line
And I can leave all these problems in Nashville behind
I've got a Houston solution in mind
I've got a Houston solution in mind
I've got a Houston solution

"Since I Don't Have You"

Joseph Rock/James Beaumont

When you walked out on me
In walked the misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I don't have anything since I don't have you
I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything since I don't have you
I don't have happiness and I guess
I never will, never again
When you walked out on me
In walked the misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything since I don't have you
When you walked out on me
In walked old misery
And he's been here since then
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything since I don't have you..oooh...ohhh
Since I don't have you
Since I don't have you
Since I don't have you

"All Is Fair In Love and War"

Tim Nichols/Robert Byrne

Now 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 out of you
Like it or not one thing's for sure
All is fair in love and war
You and me we make love all night
Then we end up in a knock down drag out fight
We kick and we cuss and we scream and shout
Till we forgot what we're fighting about
We kiss and make up and make love some more
But all is fair in love and war
Well now anything goes when it comes to love
Someone's going down when push comes to shove
It's a fight to the finish with no holds barred
Someone ends up with a broken heart and that's tough..that's real tough
Now baby you know I sure would grieve
If you were to ever leave me
I 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
It's a fight to the finish with no holds barred
Someone winds up with a broken heart and that's tough, that's real tough
Now baby you know that I sure would grieve
If you were to ever leave me
I guess I'd have to find me someone new
Someone who's a little bit prettier than you
Just to even up the score
Like it or not one thing's for sure
All is fair in love and war
Like it or not one thing's for sure
All is fair in love and war
Like it or not one thing's for sure
All is fair in love and war

"Are You Loving Me Like I'm Loving You"

Johnny Cunningham/Steve Stone

Have you ever felt like every eye's on you
Well that's the way I feel when you walk into a room
And have you ever felt like making love all day
Well that's the way I feel when you're loving me this way
And I wonder what it is to feel like you
To know  someone worships every thing you do
Oh and even though I know your love is true, yes I do
Sometimes I wonder if you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Have you ever loved so much it hurt inside
Well that's the only way my love can be described
And have you ever known how cold this world can be
Well all I know is how cold it was until you came to me
Oh and I wonder what it is to feel like you
To know someone worships every thing you do
Oh and even though I know your love is true...yes I do
Some times I wonder are you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Are you lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Are you lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Are you lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Oh I wonder, are you lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Oh I wonder

"When The Hurt Comes Down"

Roger Murrah/Thomas Coin

She hasn't said goodbye but I can see it in her eyes
And it's too late to fight what's gonna happen here tonight
So I'm packing all my things and I'll be gone before she leaves
Cause I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down
When the hurt comes down, it won't find me waiting
I'd rather go crazy if that's the only way out..oooh
And it's a lonesome sound when hearts are breaking
So I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down
I'd like to let her know that I don't wanna go
But either way it hurts so tell me what else can I do
In the morning when I'm gone I'll call her on the phone
Cause I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down
Now when the hurt comes down it won't find me waiting
I'd rather go crazy if that's the only way out..oooh
And it's a lonesome soound when hearts are breaking
So I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down
Oooohhh..I don't wanna be anywhere around when the hurt comes down

"Back To The Grindstone"

Dave Loggins

I always wanted an occupation
Something to do that I enjoyed
I always has this fascination with music as a boy
And so I listened to radio and records
Something they said, and something that they had to play
And I can hear and feel their heart and soul emotion
In the music I make today
I'm talking about music, music
Got to keep these wheels turning..just can't let 'em stop
I got to give it all I got
Got to keep this fire burning
You see it sure takes blood and sweat
I play one turn around and get
Back to the grindstone, back to the grindstone
I keep my feet on the ground and my head out of the clouds
And my back to the grindstone
I always wanted an education
And on the road I get one every day
That's where I learn about fan appreciation
They come to hear and I come to play
But I can't offer any solution
Something to hear or something to say
I just want to make a contribution
With the music I play today
I'm talking about music, music
Got to keep these wheels turning
Just can't let 'em stop
Got to keep this fire burning
You see it sure takes blood and sweat
I play one, turn around and get
Back to the grindstone, back to the grindstone
I keep my feet on the ground and my head out of the clouds
And my back to the grindstone
