Wide Open Spaceswritten by Susan Gibson

Who doesn’t know what I’m talking aboutWho’s never left home, who’s never struck outTo find a dream and a life of their ownA place in the clouds, a foundation of stoneMany precede and many will followA young girl’s dreams no longer hollowIt takes the shape of a place out WestBut what it holds for her, she hasn’t yet guessedShe needs wide open spacesRoom to make her big mistakesShe needs new facesShe knows the high stakesShe traveled this road as a childWide-eyed and grinning she never tiredBut now she won’t be coming back with the restIf these are life’s lessons, she’ll take this testShe needs wide open spacesRoom to make her big mistakesShe needs new facesShe knows the high stakesAs her folks drive away her dad yells, “Check the oil!”Mom stares out the window and says”I’m leaving my girl.”She says it didn’t seem like that long agoWhen she stood there and let her own folks knowShe needed wide open spacesRoom to make her big mistakesShe needs new facesShe knows the high stakes

Loving ArmsWritten by Tom Jans

If you could see me nowThe one who said that she’d rather roamThe one who said she’d rather be aloneIf you could only see me nowIf I could hold you nowJust for a moment, if I could really make you mineJust for a while, turn back the hands of timeIf I could only hold you nowI’ve been too long in the windToo long in the rainTaking any comfort that I canLooking back and longing for the freedom of my chainsLying in your loving arms againIf you could hear me nowSinging somewhere through the lonely nightsDreaming of the arms that held me tightIf you could only hear me nowI’ve been too long in the windToo long in the rainTaking any comfort that I canLooking back and longing for the freedom of my chainsLying in your loving arms againI’ve been too long in the windToo long in the rainTaking any comfort that I canLooking back and longing for the freedom of my chainsLying in your loving arms againI can almost feel your loving arms again

You Were Minewritten by Emily Erwin and Martie Seidel

I can’t find a reason to let goEven though you’ve found a new loveAnd she’s what your dreams are made ofI can’t find a reason to hang onWhat went wrong can be forgivenWithout you it ain’t worth livin’ aloneSometimes I wake up crying at nightAnd sometimes I scream out your nameWhat right does she have to take you awayWhen for so long you were mineTook out all the pictures of our wedding dayIt was a time of love and laughterHappy ever afterBut even those old pictures have begun to fadePlease tell me she’s not realAnd that you’re really comin’ home to staySometimes I wake up crying at nightAnd sometimes I scream out your nameWhat right does she have to take your heart awayWhen for so long you were mineI can give you two good reasonsTo show how you love’s not blindHe’s two and she’s four And you know they adore youSo how can I tell themYou’ve changed your mindSometimes I wake up crying at nightAnd sometimes I scream out your nameWhat right does she have to take your heart awayWhen for so long you were mineI remember when you were mine

Once You’ve Loved Somebodywritten by Bruce Miller and Thom McHugh

I should go out tonightGet on with my lifeBreak these chains of solitudeWith a little luck and a little helpI might even find myselfIn the arms of someone newOnce you’ve loved somebodyIt ain’t that easy to doOnce you’ve loved somebodyLike I loved youLook what you’ve gone and doneYou’ve ruined everything for anyoneWho tries to steal this heart awayI can’t get you off of my mindI’ve tried to tell myself a million timesA little time is all it takesOnce you’ve loved somebodyIt ain’t that easy to doOnce you’ve loved somebodyLike I loved youI gave you everything that I had to giveI don’t know if I can go that far againOnce you’ve loved somebodyIt ain’t that easy to doOnce you’ve loved somebodyLike I loved youOnce you’ve loved somebodyIt ain’t that easy to doOnce you’ve loved somebodyLike I loved you

I’ll Take Care Of Youwritten by John David Souther

Times are hard and rents are highWhat can a working girl doBut struggle through another dayThen I’ll take care of youNights are long and dreams are coldIf they’re all you wake up toBut should you rise with cryin’ eyesThen I’ll take care of youSo let them talk about usLet them call us funny thingsPeople sometimes doI don’t care as longAs you know I love youOh, and you know I doI’ll be there but you might not see meIt’s never easy to get throughBut when the laughter dies awayThen I’ll take care of youSo let them talk about usLet them call us funny thingsPeople sometimes doI don’t care as longAs you know I love youOh, and you know I doI’ll be there but you might not see meIt’s never easy to get throughBut when the laughter dies awayThen I’ll take care of youDarling I’ll take care of you

Am I The Only One (Who’s Ever Felt This Way)written by Maria McKee

There is no good reasonI should have to be so aloneI’m smothered by this emptinessLord, I wish I was made of stoneLike a fool I lent my soul to loveAnd it paid me back in changeGod help me, am I the only oneWho’s ever felt this wayA heart that’s worn and weatheredWould know better than to fightBut I wore mine like a weaponPlayed out love like a crimeAnd it wrung me out and strung me outAnd it hung years on my faceGod help me, am I the only oneWho’s ever felt this wayNow my sense of humor needs a breakI see a shadow in the mirrorAnd she’s laughin’ through her tearsOne more smile’s all I can fakeThere is a wound inside meAnd it’s bleeding like a floodThere’s times when I see a light aheadHope is not enoughAs another night surrounds meAnd it pounds me like a waveGod help me, am I the only oneWho’s ever felt this wayGod help me, am I the only oneWho’s ever felt this way
