1. DOWN THE LINE

Listen up now she's a lot of trouble
Got myself down sort of less than humble
Took me down south to the land of plenty
She got bad love oh lord protect me

Should've known the time before
When she knocked me down to the floor
Now there's no more wasting time
'Cause I'm moving on down the line

Got to get back to Kansas City
Little bitty thing just sitting pretty
Took a few years to learn my lesson
Save the very last sin for my last confession

Should've known the time before
When you knocked me down to the floor
Thought that everything was fine
But now I'm moving on down the line

Got to keep them wheels arollin'
No more breakin' down, no slowing
And when I start to feel that pressure
Don't you know I'm moving on, moving on
Moving on down the line


2. CAUTION TO THE WIND

Each time I tell myself to take it slow
Let it smolder that fire below
Play it cool let the emotions simmer down
Remember the last time that she came around

`Cause sooner or later that knife is gonna twist
Fool myself to believing it's an innocent kiss

Then your eyes pierce the dark
Send a message in the night
Baby is it hard to remember
I'll be holding my own then your voice comes on the phone
Then you touch me and it's caution to the wind
Baby tonight we'll throw caution to the wind

So hard to live this kind of life
They say i'll forget you by and by
I got this habit never learing from the past
Hearts lie shattered on the street like broken glass

The more that I see you the harder it gets
Now I'm reaching the red line and it's harder to hit the brakes

Then your eyes pierce the dark
Send a message to the night
Baby those were nights to remember
Now we stand face to face and there's just no hiding place
Then you touch me and it's caution to the wind
Baby tonight we'll throw caoution to the wind

Then your eyes pierce the dark send a message to the night

Then your eyes pierce the dark
Send a message in the night
Baby is it hard to remember
I'll be holding my own then your voice comes on the phone
Then you touch me and it's caution to the wind
Baby tonight we'll throw caution to the wind


3. YOU'RE NOT THE LOVIN' KIND

I never see you when the sun goes down
You're walking out the door
I can't believe you when you tell me how
You're changing like before
Ooh why won't ya take me along for the ride
Ooh well can't take no more you never look deep inside

'Cause your kind of lovin' leaves me nothing
You're not the lovin' kind
You play with my affection no direction
Loving you's a waste of time, you're not the lovin' kind

Show me something I ain't seen before
Right through the looking glass
I ain't so strong that I could ask for more
This time I'll think I'll pass
Ooh won't ya flash me your sweet sweet smile
Ooh I can't take no more I think we're done for a while

'Cause your kind of lovin' leaves me nothing
You're not the lovin' kind
You play with my affection no direction
Loving you's a waste of time, you're not the lovin' kind

You don't know your way beyond the fault line
No no no I won't be your pasttime

'Cause your kind of lovin' leaves me nothing
You're not the lovin' kind
You play with my affection no direction
Loving you's a waste of time, you're not the lovin' kind


4. SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE

Walk the line to a time I knew before
Was I then the kind of man you're looking for
I remember once when you had so much to say
Come tumbling down, then you turned and walked away

Since you've been gone I'll carry on
Somehow, yea somehow

Time to time when you did those things you do
Holdin' tight did I do the same for you
Oh baby you were more than just a friend
It's been so long when you coming back, back again.

Since you've been gone I'll carry on
Somehow, somehow

Never once no never once tried to turn from my heart
Can't you treat me just the same
You took my best and you threw away the rest
Oh baby I want you again

Since you've been gone I'll carry on
Somehow, somehow


5. TAKES JUST A LITTLE TIME

Old man sitting down by the road
Broke down engine don't work no more
Tell me now how a boy like me
Rights a wrong so a man I'll be yea

Take me down as I walk real slow pay me just a little mind
I've got me a tale and I got to tell

And it takes just a little time
And it takes just a little time

Man's a king just as long as he can
Hold the truth in the palm of his hand
Small's the gate and a narrow's the road
Leads to life now this I'm told

Cast away all your fear inside break away the chains that bind
Follow your heart and don't despair

If it takes just a little time
If it takes just a little time
Then it takes just a little time

There's a time and a place for the answer
And it's there on the other side
You can take what you want if you just cross the line

And it takes just a little time
And it takes just a little time


6. EXCITED

Walking to the station 'cause I need some information
About the trains going by
Standing in the line up, well, I'm gonna take some time out
I can't pretend to know why no way

Punch the clock by nine and then it's off to work I'm fine
But then I can't remember her name
All the people staring 'cause they knew what she was wearing
Enough to drive them insane

Got to heed my warning early in the morning
Such a typical tale
Wakes me up at midnight, ooh, she's such a sweet sight
I couldn't be with no other girl

Excited you and me
Excited wait and see
I got no conscience, I got no control
I think we know what it is I'm standing here for

Got to take some time out 'cause I really need to find out
Why it was getting so deep
Life was never better 'til I broke down and I met her
I never lost so much sleep

Got to heed my warning early in the morning
Such a typical tale
Wakes me up at midnight ooh she's such a sweet sight
I couldn't be with no other girl

Excited you and me
Excited wait and see
I got no conscience, I got no control
I think we know what it is I'm standing here for

Excited you and me
Excited wait and see
I got no conscience, I got no control
I think we know what it is I'm standing here for


7. BACK IN THE LIMELIGHT

Lady stealer double dealer
Ya dealt a loaded hand
I use to hold ya yea love and squeeze ya
I was your only man
But now she runs for cover in the arms of another
Spinning wheels and rolling dice
She hears me knocking but his hand is on her stocking
Out of mind she's out of sight

Oh no plenty of time to get ready
Oh no bootle of wine I hit the road I'm feeling fine

Back in the limelight again
Back in the limelight hit me with the spot light
Back in the limelight again oh yea

Forty days and forty nights
Out on the desert sand
A shining star burnin' bright
Leads me home again
Was I the only the only when ya told me
Take me to the candy store
A taste that's oh so bitter sweet
Keeps me coming back for more

Oh no plenty of time to get ready
Oh no bootle of wine I hit the road I'm feeling fine

Back in the limelight again
Back in the limelight hit me with that spot light
Back in the limelight again
Back in the limelight hit me with that spot light

Oh ya done me wrong oh time to get along
There's no room for second best
Hey mama ya done the rest

Back in the limelight again
Back in the limelight hit me with that spot light
Back in the limelight again
Back in the limelight hit me with that spot light


8. STRANDED

Been about a year now little baby
Since you left me on my own
I'm trying to find a way now to forget you
As I walk the streets alone

I hear the wind and it calls your name
It tells me now that things won't be the same
Maybe I'm caught around the past

Stranded without your love
Stranded from the Lord above
All I'm searchin' for, just a little more of your precious love

Was it hard to tell me that it's over
Now I know that I done wrong
Winter comes around here so quickly
I've been waitin' here so long

If I knew then I would've took the time
I should've known better but the words were hard to find
Maybe I'm caught around the past

Stranded without your love
Stranded from the Lord above
All I'm searchin' for, just a little more of your precious love

And I will be right here for you
And I thought you felt that way too
If only I could turn back the time
I'd give you all my heart could give
Cause I can't seem to get you off my mind

Stranded without your love
Stranded from the Lord above
All I'm searchin' for, just a little more of your precious love

Stranded without your love
Stranded from the Lord above
All I'm searchin' for, just a little more of your precious love


9. IT'S HARD

I'm hanging out with the boys tonight pretending I don't care
I tell myself it'll be all right and hoping you'll be there
Well one smile honey is all it takes
I got you in my plans
If things are gonna work out, I've gotta have your helping hand

'Cause it's hard, baby it's hard
Hold on tight, nothing's gonna break us apart

Sometimes I'm thinking it's a big mistake, it's just the state I'm in
And if I reach out will you grab a hold so we can try it again
Well sometimes baby I might slip and fall
I'm just that kind of man
There's something to discover let's hold on to each other
We'll reach the promise land

'Cause it's hard, baby it's hard
Hold on tight, nothing's gonna break us apart
'Cause it's hard, baby it's hard
Stand by me girl give me all you got in your heart
Well let me tell you now you can't lose me
Tell me you understand that you move me
Baby you move me

There's something to discover let's hold on to each other
We'll reach the promise land

'Cause it's hard, baby it's hard
Hold on tight nothing's gonna break us apart
'Cause it's hard, baby it's hard
Stand by me girl give me all you got in your heart
Well let me tell you now you can't lose me
Tell me you understand that you move me
Baby you move me


10. IF YA CAN'T FIND LOVE

Holdin' out
I see ya on the side line just a wall flower now
Sitting out the dance
Dressin' down
But I can see through that plain Jane image
Your dreaming 'bout romance

If ya can't find love, ya can't find happiness
Take it where ya find it and it's all for free

Finding out
The world don't turn the way your mamma done told you now
Love's about to find you girl
Lay it down
Ya never been touched by the wrong emotion now
Time is right tonight

If ya can't find love, ya can't find happiness
Take it where ya find it and it's all for free
If ya can't find love, ya can't find happiness
You been looking in the wrong place how's about looking for me
You been looking in the wrong place how's about looking

Holdin' out
I see ya on the sideline just a wall flower now
Sittin' out
I'll give ya something that you've never had before
Spin the dial, darlin', and I'll give ya more

If ya can't find love, ya can't find happiness
Take it where ya find it and it's all for free
If ya can't find love, ya can't find happiness
You been looking in the wrong place how's about looking for me
You been looking in the wrong place how's about looking
