Somewhere Down The Road
(James Intveld)

It's a long stretch of highway, rollin' down the eastern road
I ain't got much to my name, but my dreams they're solid gold
I've traveled each end of the byways to know that it's alright
But I gotta stay on the main road, I can't leave this endless fight
And I'm thinkin', yeah I'm thinkin'

Somewhere down the road, things are gonna look much better
Somewhere down the road, things are gonna turn my way
Somewhere down the road, we're gonna be together
Somewhere down the road, I'm gonna have my day

Lookin' for a little action, I've been movin' from town to town
Gotta get some satisfaction, I'm hopin' this time around
Tryin' keep myself together, but it's so hard you know
I gotta hold on to the next stop, cause my story ain't been told

And I'm thinkin', yeah I'm thinkin'
Somewhere down the road, things are gonna look much better
Somewhere down the road, things are gonna turn my way
Somewhere down the road, we're gonna be together
Somewhere down the road, I'm gonna have my day

Watch another lonely sunset, feelin' a little lost and low
Like a big ol' train a rumblin', deep down in my soul
Knowin' that the day is endin', but I keep singin' my song
Yeah I gotta pick up the pieces' I gotta keep movin' on
And I'm thinkin', yeah i'm thinkin'

Somewhere down the road, things are gonna look much better
Somewhere down the road, things are gonna turn my way
Somewhere down the road, we're gonna be together
Somewhere down the road, I'm gonna have my day

Stringin' Me On
(James Intveld)

Well i don't know why you call me, I don't know why you phone
You know i love you baby, so why are you doin' me wrong
You're just stringin' me on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you're just stringin' me on

You say you will when you won't, honey I know you don't
You say you would if you could, baby I think you should
You say you don't but you do, what's the matter with you
You're just stringin' me on

We're laughin' and havin' a party, it's late on a saturday night
You hug me and squeeze me, oh how you tease me
But you never kiss me goodnight
You're just stringin' me on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you're just stringin' me on

You say you will when you won't, honey I know you don't
You say you would if you could, baby I think you should
You say you don't but you do, what's the matter with you
You're just stringin' me on

Now i've been waitin' such a long long time
For you to be comin' my way
Now I realize by that look in you eyes
That you don't hear a word I say

I been waitin' and hopin', maybe you'll be changin' your mind
I'll go on bein' a fool, playin' it cool
Thinkin' that you'll give me the time
But you're just stringin' me on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you're just stringin' me on

You say you will when you won't, honey I know you don't
You say you would if you could, baby i think you should
You say you don't but you do, what's the matter with you

All The Way From Memphis
(James Intveld - John Coinman)

Headed out on the highway, quit my job last friday
Rollin' down the interstate tryin' to get closer to you
With my last weeks paycheck , left this town in my old wreck
Now i'm stranded in Tucson, wonderin' if you're missin' me too

I came all the way from memphis
I came all the way from memphis
I came all the way from memphis
Just to see you again

I hitched a ride on a freight line, passed some towns and a state sign
Talkin' in the mirror like I wish I could be talkin' to you
I know I ain't been your good man, hey I'm doin' what I can
And if you say it's really over, then all i ever want you to know

I came all the way from memphis
I came all the way from memphis
I came all the way from memphis
Just to see you again

I'm wondering where will your heart be, when you're standin' before me
Will you look in my eyes, or maybe will you just walk away
I know I'm good for you somehow, but maybe it's just too late now
Still I'm down on my knees, cause all I really wanted to say

I came all the way from memphis
I came all the way from memphis
I came all the way from memphis
Just to see you again

Love Calls
(James Intveld - John Coinman)

Love is talking to me, I can hear it when you call
I can feel it when the wind blows, or at any time at all
This broken heart surrounds me. though I've fallen here I stand
And whenever I get lonely, I just reach out for your hand

And love calls, and I listen
Love calls, and I listen

Yeah, now love is talking to me, it's a simple melody
It's the sound of sweet devotion, a lullaby to set me free
In the night I wake up crying, holding on so desperately
Hoping I may find the answer, if I listen carefully

And love calls, and I listen
Love calls, and I listen
Love calls, and I listen
Love calls, and I listen

Yeah, now love is talking to me, it's telling me no lies
For I can feel it when you touch me, and I can see it in your eyes
All the miles of road behind me, couldn't hide my destiny
So I keep searching for the chances, as I wait here patiently

When love calls, and I listen
Love calls, and I listen
Love calls, and I listen
Love calls, and I listen

One Sweet Letter
(Joe Liggins)

Well, write me one sweet letter, say you're in love with me
Tell me that you want me, with me you'll always be

Living Without You
(James Intveld)

Living without you, I can't face the day
All for me is lost now, in every way
I can't stop from cryin', to know that we're through
Because living without you, has made me so blue

Your heart that once loved me, now has grown cold
You found you another, someone new to hold
What's left for me darlin', is so lonely and sad
'Cause all I ever wanted, is all that we had

Living without you, I can't face the day
All for me is lost now, in everyday
I can't stop from cryin', to know that we're through
Because living without you, has made me so blue

Sometimes I can hear you, call out my name
But it's just wishful thinkin', to hide all the pain
I'm still gonna love you, 'til the end of all time
And even though you don't want me, in my heart you'll be mine

Living without you, I can't face the day
All for me is lost now, in everyday
I can't stop from cryin', to know that we're through
Because living without you, has made me so blue

Because living without you, has made me so blue

Stop The World
(Belew-Stevenson)

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of goin' round and round
I played the game of love and lost
Yeah, stop the world and let me off

My dreams are shattered, don't you see
Now you no longer care for me
I miss the wonder of your kiss
How could you leave me here like this

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of goin' round and round
I played the game of love and lost
Yeah, stop the world and let me off

My dreams are shattered, don't you see
Now you no longer care for me
I miss the wonder of your kiss
How could you leave me here like this

Stop the world and let me off
I'm tired of goin' round and round
I played the game of love and lost
Yeah, stop the world and let me off

Modern Don Juan
(Don Guess - Neal)

Well I ain't nothin' but a man in love
I ain't nothin' but a man in love
The girls they say, I'm their only one
Well they say I'm a modern Don Juan

Well there ain't but one thing puzzlin' me
I got a girl and she can't see
That I want only to make her mine
Well she thinks I'm handing her a line

Well, oh oh, I love her so
And I'll never ever let her go

Well I ain't nothin' but a man in love
I ain't nothin' but a man in love
The girls they say, I'm their only one
Well they say I'm a modern Don Juan

Well, oh oh, I love her so
And I'll never ever let her go

What About You
(James Intveld - John Coinman)

When I think about the reasons for livin'
And the simple things that make me who I am
How easy it can be to forget them
And the struggle just to get it back again

It's a long, long time 'til tomorrow
And so many things that we may never see
We can only know this time we have together
So what about you, yeah, and what about me

All the promises and dreams that were broken
Can make us lose faith in ourselves
We search all our lives for the answers
Never knowing that there's water in our well

'Cause It's a long, long time 'til tomorrow
And so many things that we may never do
We can only know this time we have together
So what about you, yeah, and what about me

Well, we all want something to believe in
But it's not easy when you're all alone
So if you'd like to take this trip together
I'll walk with you wherever you may go

'Cause It's a long, long time 'til tomorrow
And so many things that we may never see
We can only know this time we have together
So what about you, yeah, and what about me
Oh what about us, yeah, and what about we
Oh what about you, yeah, and what about me

If I Should Lose You
(James Intveld - John Coinman)

At times when I think of life without you
I don't know where I'd stand
To face life's lonely burdens
Without your guiding hands

I see myself, and can't stop wondering
If I would survive
Without the love you've givin'
That's keeping me alive

'Cause If I should lose you, where would I be
All my tomorrows, would mean nothing to me
Like falling from heaven, on a broken wing
'Cause If I should lose you, I'd lose everything

There's never been someone like you
To ever come my way
And hold me close and gentle,
When the pain's too much to take

I've never known a love so true
Such beauty from within
It makes me realize everyday
How lucky that I am

'Cause If I should lose you, where would I be
All my tomorrows, would mean nothing to me
Like falling from heaven, on a broken wing
'Cause If I should lose you, I'd lose everything

You let me be the man I am
By standing at my side
And tell me that I never
Need a place to hide

I've learned to love be what you do
You're truly my best friend
And just to know you want me
Makes me live again

'Cause If I should lose you, where would I be
All my tomorrows, would mean nothing to me
Like falling from heaven, on a broken wing
'Cause If I should lose you, I'd lose everything
If I should lose you, I'd lose everything

A Sinner's Prayer
(James Intveld)

Before I die I wanna tell the Lord I love him
Before I go I need to have some peace of mind
I'm gonna pray that I may be with all the others
In that blessed eternal kingdom in the sky

I've lived a life of both hatred and frustration
But never proud of all the bad names that I've earned
And though I'm sorry for the pain I've caused my brothers
I don't expect any love here in return

For a sinner am I and if I must die
Lord please have sympathy on me
For when it's my time if you'd be so kind
To make room in heaven for me

I've never been one to walk the straight and narrow
I've cause despair to so many that I've known
But if you find it your heart to please forgive me
I'll be so thankful just to be a chosen one

For a sinner am I and if I must die
Lord please have sympathy on me
For when it's my time if you'd be so kind
To make room in heaven for me

I'm gonna get down on my knees and pray forgiveness
I'm gonna sing joyful praises to my Lord
And when I leave this broken shell to meet my maker
Then take my soul up above to heaven's door

For a sinner am I and if I must die
Lord please have sympathy on me
For when it's my time if you'd be so kind
To make room in heaven for me

Remember Me
(James Intveld - John Coinman)

Whenever I dream in the darkness of night
Whatever I see through the mystic light
Whenever I wonder where you might be
I hope that you will remember me

If you should awake from all precious things
I will be waiting here for the hope that you'll bring
And if you never return from the distant sea
I hope that you will remember me

In all of my days and all of my nights
I will be faithful to your memory 'til i die
And if it should be, I'll stand by your side
If heaven be my faith, heaven be my faith


Whatever I find in these troubled days
Whatever I learn as I find my way
Whatever I do that will set me free
I hope that you will remember me
I hope that you will remember me
I hope that you still remember me
