1.Beyond The Blue Neon

Swingin' doors
Sawdust floors
A heartache drowns as the whiskey pours
There's a hole in the wall
From some free for all
The ringin' crack of that old cue ball

I've been fallin' in here
For what seems like years
Where the tears and the lonely belong
And wonder what's going on
Beyond that blue neon

Chorus:
I hear tell there's people out there who don't know
What losin' you means
They don't have a heart
That just falls apart
At the mention of your name

I heard they pretend
The world didn't end
Right when i knew you were gone
I guess life still goes on
Beyond that blue neon

Chorus

But it's a quarter 'til two
And i don't have a clue
As to what i'll do from now 'til dawn
I wonder what's going on
Beyond that blue neon

Lord, what's going on
Beyond that blue neon


2.Hollywood Squares

I've always said 'i do' too easy
And now i'm payin' the price
My weakness for beautiful women
Is my most expensive vice
I still believe in matrimony
But i can't afford another try
Child support and alimony
Is just about to bleed me dry

Chorus:
I got ex's all across the country
And i owe everybody in town
I got bill collectors a callin' me up
And lawyers tryin' to track me down
I'm just one wrong move from the poor house
But i don't belong in there
I got so many ex's and owe so much
I ought to be on hollywood squares

Yeah, i ought to be on hollywood squares

Lookin' back over my love life
I only have myself to blame
I guess i should've checked my price tag
Before i gave 'em my last name
Now my credit rating's in the gutter
And the bottom line sure looks bad
I'll be payin' the rest of my life
For the few good times i've had

Chorus

Yeah, they ought to put me on hollywood squares


3.Overnight Success

If it was in your mind to really cut me down
If it was in your plan to walk me in the ground
You left with him last night then daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

I couldn't blame someone who'd steal your love away
Because i know what i've lost and all he's gained
Sweetheart last night i know he got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success

Can you handle all you've won from breaking my pride
Will he stay with you and help you spend all the tears i've
cried
Sweetheart i love you so and wish you happiness
And if you planned on hurtin' me, you're an overnight success


4.Ace In The Hole

Chorus:
You've got to have an ace in the hole
A little secret that nobody knows
Life is a gamble a game we all play
But you need to save something for a rainy day
You've got to learn to play your cards right
If you expect to win in life
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole

If you're headed down a one way street
And you're not sure its the way you wanna go
In money or love or all the above
Have a little more than what you show
No matter what you do
No matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole

Chorus

Don't put it all on the line just for one roll
You've got to have an ace in the hole

No matter what you do
No matter where you go
You've got to have an ace in the hole


5.Leavin's Been Comin'(For A Long Long Time)

It's never over 'til it's really over
And someone's left standing behind
It goes without sayin'
It's too late for stayin'
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time

Chorus:
I packed up my suitcase and started my pickup
So many times in my mind
It's a hard road to travel
From blacktop to gravel
And the next hill is the hardest to climb

I've got all the answers for most of the questions
And some ain't been easy to find
There's no more erasin'
The things i've been facin'
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time

Chorus

And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time


6.Baby's Gotten Good At Goodbye

What a rotten day
This turned out to be
I still can't believe
She'd leave so easily
She just packed all her things
Threw them into a pile
Then she loaded her car
And said, 'after awhile'
She'd done this before
But this time she didn't cry

Chorus:
That's why i'm sitting on the front steps
Staring down the road
Wondering if she'll come back
This time i don't know
And after she packed
When she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried
Thinking maybe my baby's
Gotten good at goodbye

All the times before
She'd break down and cry
She'd make her threats
But her heart wasn't set on goodbye
She just wanted me to hear
What she had to say
Now i'm lost for words
Since she went away
She may not return
For this time she didn't cry

Chorus

Chorus


7.What's Going On In Your World

What's goin' on in your world
I hope that you're doin' fine
I just called to say there is not a day
That you don't cross my mind
I just wanted to see if you feel like me
Sorry we said good bye
So what's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine
Just tell me that you're happy
And i'll hang up the phone
Just tell me you don't need me anymore
And i'll leave you alone
I just wondered if you had somebody new
After all of this time
So what's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine
Just tell me that you're happy
And i'll hang up the phone
Just tell me you don't need me anymore
And i'll leave you alone
I just wondered if you had somebody new
After all of this time
So what's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine
What's goin' on in your world
It sure is lonesome in mine


8.Angel, Angelina

Chorus:
Angel, oh my angel, angelina
Heaven must be wonderin' where you are
Mornin' finds me prayin' please let me keep her
Each night finds me wishin' on a star
That always, oh always angelina
You'll be stayin' right here in my arms

Sweetest of the sweet those ruby lips
No other has that touch ooh those fingertips
Bluest of the blue those sparklin' eyes
Like had in glove we fit you know you're just my size
You and all your special ways and means
Oh i love you angelina

Chorus

You'll be stayin' right here in my arms

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who i was before i was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who i was
Before i was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time i like seeing what i see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

These eyes that used to cry myself to sleep
Now they're dry they don't lay me down to weep
For the first time in a long time i like seeing what i see
No thanks to you
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' nobody
The who i was before i was your used to be
I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to who i was
Before i was the one who fell in love
With the one who never, ever was in love
I'm back to bein' me

I'm back to bein' me
I'm back to bein' me


9.Too Much Of Too Little

Well here we sit at a table for two
But bottle there's just me and you
She loved me so but i loved her so wrong
I gave her too much of too little too long

So tell me bottle are the things i hear true
That all the answers are in the bottle of you
I need your help this memory's so strong
I gave her too much of too little too long

Sometimes a man can get lost in a world of his own
He'll neglect his real world who's waiting at home
A woman needs her man's love to lean on
I gave her too much of too little too long

I gave her too much of too little too long


10.Oh Me, Oh My Sweet Baby

Chorus:
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
Oh no one else could take her place in my life
Oh we had something good
So tell me why she would
Go and make me cry
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye

I remember how she'd hold me
And say she'd stay forever true
Back when the future looked so rosy
But tonight it's lookin' mighty blue

Chorus

Don't know what i didn't give her
That she gets from someone new
I only know how much i miss her
And wish my heart was only broke in two

Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
Oh no one else could take her place in my life
Oh we had something good
So tell me why she would
Go and make me cry
Oh me, oh my
Why did she go and make me cry
Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
