Well I went down to the Grundy County auction

Where I saw something I just had to have

My mind told me I should proceed with caution

But my heart said, "go ahead an' make a bid on that!"

An' I said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gimme a sign

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine

I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call

Yeah, I never seen anyone lookin' so fine

Man, I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind

I'm goin' once, goin' twice,

I'm sold! on the lady in the second row

She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know

She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes

An' I'm about to bid my heart good-bye!

Well, the auctioneer was goin' about a mile a minute

He was takin' bids an' callin' them out loud

An' I guess I was really gettin' in it

'cause I just shouted out above the crowd!

An' I said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gimme a sign

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine

I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call

Yeah, I never seen anyone lookin' so fine

Man, I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind

I'm goin' once, goin' twice,

I'm sold! on the lady in the long black dress

Well she won my heart it was no contest

With her ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes

Well I'm about to bid my heart good-bye!

Yeah, we found love on the auction block

An' I hauled her heart away

Now we still love to laugh about

The way we met that day

When I said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gimme a sign

I'd give anything to make you mine all mine

I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call

Yeah, I never seen anyone lookin' so fine

Man, I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind

I'm goin' once, goin' twice,I'm sold! on the lady in the second row

She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know

She's got ruby red lips, blond hair blue eyes

An' I'm about to bid my heart good-bye!

2. If You've Got Love

If you've got faith

And you believe in what you're living for

You can stand your ground when the devil's at your door

And a little hope can help you when the road is getting rough

But there's nothing quite like life if you've got love

If you've got love you can move a mountain

A little bit further down the line

You can do it all at once or one rock at a time

You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art

It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart

Now there's nothing like a real good friend

To tell your troubles to

But there's just so much a real good friend can do

'Cause it takes another's touch to chase the darkest blues away

If you've got love you've got what it takes

If you've got love you can move a mountain

A little bit further down the line

You can do it all at once or one rock at a time

You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art

It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart

If you've got love you can move a mountain

A little bit further down the line

You can do it all at once or one rock at a time

You can turn an ordinary picture into a priceless work of art

It's what you can do if you've got love in your heart

(If you've got love) you can move a mountain

Further down the line

You can do it all at once or one rock at a time

You can turn a picture into a priceless work of art...

3. Rope The Moon

I don't have a lot to show

For these years of hard work

If you look at what I own

Still she's always telling me

To hold on to my dreams

Even when my hope is gone

Some may say that dreaming's just for fools

And there are times I thought that might be true

But she thinks I could rope the moon

In her eyes there is nothing I can't do

When I think it's out of reach

She's the reason I still try

She thinks I could rope the moon

When I look at the sky

But can't see through the clouds

She shows me the brightest stars

If I think of coming back

'Cause I'm having my doubts

She tells me I've come so far

Nothing in this world comes easily

But I can't lose with her right next to me

'Cause she thinks I could rope the moon

In her eyes there is nothing I can't do

When I think it's out of reach

She's the reason I still try

She thinks I could rope the moon

Oh she thinks I could rope the moon

4. I Love The Way You Love Me

I like the feel of your name on my lips

And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss

The way that your fingers run through my hair

And how your scent lingers even when your not there

And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh

And how you enjoy your two hour bath

And how you convinced me to dance in the rain

With everyone watching like we were insane

But I love the way you love me

Strong and wild

Slow and easy

Heart and soul

So completely

I love the way you love me

I like to imitate old Jerry Lee

And watch you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key

And I like the innocent way that you cry

At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times

But I love the way you love me

Strong and wild

Slow and easy

Heart and soul

So completely

I love the way you love me

And I could list a million things

I love to like about you

But they all come down to one reason

I could never live without you

I love the way you love me

Strong and wild

Slow and easy

Heart and soul

So completely

I love the way you love me

Oh baby I love the way you love me

5. Friends

You say you want to be friends

That's a newly sharpened blade

That's a dagger to the heart

Of the promises we made

That's a chapter full of pain

A season full of rain

A dark and stormy night

Spent all alone

Friends

Get scattered by the wind

Tossed upon the waves

Lost for years on end

Friends

Slowly drift apart

They give away their hearts

Maybe call you

Now and then

But you wanna be

Just friends

You say you love me very much

And you'll always hold me dear

Those are the sweetest words

I never want to hear

What's a love without desire

A flame without a fire

Can't warm me late at night

When I need you most

Friends

Get scattered by the wind

Tossed upon the waves

Lost for years on end

Friends

Slowly drift apart

They give away their hearts

Maybe call you

Now and then

But you wanna be

Just friends

FriendsSlowly drift apart

They give away their hearts

Maybe call you

Now and then

Darling can't you see

This is killing me

We could never be

Just friends

6. Cowboy Love

You drive a baby blue Beamer

I drive a pickup truck

I'm a member of the good ol' boys

You're a member of the Country Club

You keep turnin' me down when I ask you out

But I ain't givin' up

I'm gonna show you darlin' a little cowboy love

Let me broaden your horizons

Teach you 'bout the finer things in life

Like some late night horseback ridin'

Sippin' on some southern homemade wine

If a little two steppin', star gazin', breathtakin', lovemakin'

Is what your dreamin' of

Then let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love

You need a little adventure

To ignite your world

I can picture you in cowboy boots

I can picture you a country girl

Once you give me a try then you'll know why

You can't get enough

So let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love

Let me broaden your horizons

Teach you 'bout the finer things in life

Like some late night horseback ridin'

Sippin' on some southern homemade wine

If a little two steppin', star gazin', breathtakin', lovemakin'

Is what your dreamin' of

Then let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love

Underneath the midnight moonlight

Cuddled up real tight

Cozied down by a fire

Listenin' to some George Strait, George Jones

Country love songs you'll change your mind

Well let me broaden your horizons

Teach you 'bout the finer things in life

Like some late night horseback ridin'

Sippin' on some southern homemade wine

If a little two steppin', star gazin', breathtakin', lovemakin'

Is what your dreamin' of

Then let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love

Let me show you darlin' a little cowboy love

7. I Miss You A Little

Sometimes a song can touch a nerve

That takes me back to you

When I pick up my old guitar

And I play your favorite tune

Every now and then, some little thing

I've buried comes bubblin' up

And once in a while, you feel close enough to touch

I miss you a little since you've been gone

A few little memories keep hangin' on

I miss you a little, I guess you could say

A little too much, a little too often

A little more every day

When I go by our old house

I pretend that you're still there

Waitin' for me on the porch

But there's just an empty chair

Wish I could see you just one more time

Before I drive away

So I could stop and go inside, and say

I miss you a little since you've been gone

A few little memories keep hangin' on

I miss you a little, I guess you could say

A little too much, a little too often

A little more every day

A little too much, a little too often

A little more every day

8. Beer And Bones

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones

Honey since I lost you

I ain't ate a bite

Since the night

That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play

A few sad country songs

I heard someone say

Hey that old boy

Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

I got to work this morning

Early this afternoon

Yeah my boss man nudged me

Said son I need to talk to you

You used to make me money

But lately I been taking a loss

Well he smelled my breath

Gave me what was left

Of the day off

I ain't nothin' but beer and bones

Honey since I lost you

I ain't ate a bite

Since the night

That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play

A few sad country songs

I heard someone say

Hey that old boy

Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

Well I wish I could go home

And rest my weary head

But I know I'll just stay here

And have another beer instead

That little waitress asked me

Honey could you use some help

I said I thank you miss

I'll have to get through this

By my dang self

I ain't nothin' but beer and bonesHoney since I lost you

I ain't ate a bite

Since the night

That you said we're through

I walked to that jukebox to play

A few sad country songs

I heard someone say

Hey that old boy

Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

I heard someone say

Hey that old boy

Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

9. I Can Love You Like That

They read you Cinderella

You hoped it would come true

That one day your Prince Charming

Would come rescue you

You like romantic movies

You never will forget

The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet

All this time that you've been waiting

You don't have to wait no more

I can love you like that

I would make you my world

Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl

I will give you my heart

Be all that you need

Show you you're everything that's precious to me

If you give me a chance

I can love you like that

I never make a promise I don't intend to keep

So when I say forever, forever's what I mean

I'm no Casanova but I swear this much is true

I'll be holdin' nothin' back when it comes to you

You dream of love that's everlasting

Well baby open up your eyes

I can love you like that

I would make you my world

Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl

I will give you my heart

Be all that you need

Show you you're everything that's precious to me

If you give me a chance

I can love you like that

You want tenderness - I got tenderness

And I see through to the heart of you

If you want a man who understands

You don't have to look very far

I can love you

I can

I can love you like thatI would make you my world

Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl

I will give you my heart

Be all that you need

Show you you're everything that's precious to me

I can love you like that

I would make you my world

Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl

I will give you my heart

Be all that you need

Show you you're everything that's precious to me

I can love you like that

I would make you my world

Move Heaven and Earth if you were my girl

10. No Man's Land

That house on the hill is long gone

Now she's living in a trailer with an Astroturf lawn

Got three little kids and no one to help

Trying to be Momma and Daddy all by herself

It's hard to hold down the fort when you're holdin' down a job

She'd rob Peter to pay Paul but he's already been robbed

She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines

She'd break down and cry but she doesn't have time

She got to be strong, life goes on

Though it's nothin' like she had planned

She's gonna be o. k. gonna find a way

Living in no man's land

Every now and then late at night

She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight

And there's a guy down at work he keeps callin' her up

But she ain't ready for none of that stuff

She's still sifting through the ashes of a love that's been and gone

Looking for a clue, trying to find out what went wrong

It ain't always easy, but she knows she's gotta try

Every time she looks into her babies' eyes

She got to be strong, life goes on

Though it's nothin' like she had planned

She's gonna be o. k. gonna find a way

Living in no man's land

She got to be strong, life goes on

Though it's nothin' like she had planned

She's gonna be o. k. gonna find a way

Living in no man's land

No man's land

11. Be My Baby Tonight

I know you've heard that worn out line

About love at first sight

Well I never knew those words were true

Till you walked in tonight

All it took was just one look

To knock me off my feet

I'm not a man of many words

So I'll make this short and sweet

Could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you

Would ya wanna be my baby tonight

Yeah I'd take a chance slow dance make a little romance

Honey it'll be alright

Girl you got me wishin' we were huggin' and a kissin' and a

holdin' each other tight

So could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you

Would ya wanna be my baby tonight

I'm not tryin to come on like

Some rhinestone romeo

I'm a lookin' for a whole lot more

Than a one night rodeo

What can I do to prove to you

I'm a layin' it on the line

I'll even get down on my knees

Just to beg you one more time

Girl could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
