The Streets Of Your
Town
(Andrew
Gold/Jenny Yates)
there's a red
ferrari following me headlights off ' too
close to see i feel you all around taking me down the
streets of your town
sweet magnolias just in bloom black light decals ' quarter
moon i thought i heard a howling sound calling out from the
streets of your town
chorus:
the pavement swells beneath my feet it's a one-way
ticket ' no retreat i'm a walking billboard looking to settle
down one of the lost and found on the streets of your
town
looking at memories for the first time traces of what i'm
hoping to find i am captive ' i am bound to keep on
walking the
streets of your town
waking up empty in a rented bed visions of sugar ' dancing in
my head out of all the dreams standing in the last round my
favorite one lives on the streets of your
town
(chorus)
love has no reason it has no mind the heart leads and we
follow it blind

TENDER IS MY HEART
(Gary
Nicholson/Jenny Yates)
they say this world is getting tougher each day and
if you want to survive ' you gotta be that way calloused and
strong ' hard to get to but tender is my heart when i think of
you
they say protect yourself ' and build a wall keep up your
guard ' don't you let it fall but there's a gentle wind ' that
can come right through tender is my heart ' when i think of
you
helpless ' like a little child defenseless ' everytime you
smile i open wide -- you come inside and everything is
new tender is my heart ' when i think of you tender is my heart ' so i think of
you
we all need a place ' to slip away far from the pain ' calm
and safe to feel that peace ' i know what to do tender is my
heart ' when i think of you tender is my heart ' when i think of
you tender is my heart ' so i think of you tender is my heart ' i think of you

Pages (Tom Kimmel/Jenny Yates)
yesterday's
wars stack up like old papers on the floor pounding like old
knocks upon my door breaking like the ocean washing through my
hand changing this ol' mountain into sand
chorus:
you know me by the stories i have made you know
me looking out through boxes and cages and it's hard ' to
clearly see what's right in ordinary light does the truth
filter down through the ages we cannot see the end so here we
must begin tell me ' what will we write on these
pages
life's open road showing only what it wants to show calling
when it's time for us to go driven by emotion pushing from the
past running 'til our spirit's free at
last
(chorus)
down through history we race across borders ' into empty
space we write a chapter ' a fable ' a line ' a trace another heart may
follow
(chorus)

rains a blessed child is born to those who have worn life's
chains and they gave her a promise

Just Another
Jane (Jenny
Yates)
she hit her high school days - with a passion to burn too much
will pass you by - if you wait your turn live this moment - seize
the day will it on
around - if it don't go your way
hold your vision in one place hold it 'til it breaks the
next thing that she wants will be the next thing she takes
chorus:
let me start a fire
i want to make a mark don't let
the voice of reason ever put out the spark i want to rock the
cradle want to ride my own train lord ' don't let me be just
another jane just
another jane
she's still got great big dreams - great big plans great ideas
dripping through her dish-pan hands one still a baby - one out to
play never thought
the dice would roll this way
never thought she'd be who she swore she'd never be but
the mirror's looking back 'n' this is not the dream(chorus)
it's not too late as long as i'm alive i can clean the
slate and i can turn the
tide(chorus)

The Plain Old
Truth
(Pierce Pettis/Jenny Yates)
there's this guy i used to know he can really play that
game the one where you don't show any anger ' any pain he
just stuffs it all inside where the hurtin' can't be found
'til he can't sit still and there's this ticking sound
chorus:
the plain old truth ' is really all he needs take him
by surprise ' bring him to his knees but if he'd let it be a
friend ' it would see him through it isn't always nice ' but it
is always true better than a pretty lie ' the plain old
truth
there's this girl i used to be i don't recognize her
now tried to run all she could see like it was up to her
somehow got in everybody's face got on everybody's
nerves 'til amazing grace gave
me just what i deserve
chorus:
the plain old truth finally set me free took me by
surprise
brought me to my knees but
just like a trusted friend
it has seen me through it isn't always nice but it is always
true it's better than the pretty
lie the plain old truth
chorus:
the plain old truth ' is really all we need take you by
surprise ' bring you to your knees but if you let it be your
friend ' it will stand by you it isn't always nice ' but it is
always true better than a pretty lie ' the plain old
truth

Not Lovin' You
Enough
(Kieran Kane/Jenny Yates)
i
been watching you and
you know who she's not what i'd expect she
wears you like a diamond hanging 'round her neck 'n' she knows
how to use that smile turn it on and all that stuff but mmm '
she's not lovin' you enough she's not lovin' you enough
is she the one you turn to when you need to know the
truth she'll tell you what you want to hear but what good does
that do what's there to hold on to if push comes to shove
mmm ' she's not lovin' you enough she's not lovin' you
enough
what would she do to fight for your love would she give and
give ' endlessly what would she sacrifice ' for your touch i'd give anything if it was
me
i would walk through fire baby across the burning sand to
find my way into your arms one day i hope you understand there
is one thing darling i will never be guilty of mmm ' not
lovin' you enough not lovin' you enough
do you think she'll be beside you when the going gets
tough mmm ' she's not lovin' you enough
love should give you the strength to stand when eveything
falls through when the world deals you a losing hand it's
still solid and true love is more than a word or two love will
ask everything of you she only wants you for what you can
do she only wants you for what you can
do

A Good Rain
(Charlie Black/Jenny
Yates)
 he is a farmer ' that's what he likes to do so was
his father and his grandad too he looks out on these fields and
all the work he's done curses his luck and the unrelenting
sun his wife comes to his side and says "hold on ' honey we've seen
tougher times"
chorus:
all we need is a good rain and the troubles of this
world will all wash away we can start again with help from
the heavens all we need is a good
rain
he got a notice ' ninety days past due bankers used to be '
folks you could talk to now it's all profits ' and can you pay on
time no room for dreaming ' above the bottom line then she
says ' "come on back inside you can't do anymore tonight"
(chorus)
midnight ' dark clouds hide the moon 'n' he cries ' as god's tears hit the roof

Boat (Buddy Mondlock/Jenny Yates)
nothing but
sky up ahead nothing but a breeze at my back all regrets have
been shed everything intact a head full of dreams that will
not be damned i've sailed all my life to be right where i am
chorus:
this boat it is not mighty but it's an old and trusted
friend it can travel just like lightning when its sails catch
the wind when i stand here in the evening & let the mist
cover my face i find myself believing this ol' boat ' can take me any place
the wind was running high when i heard you call out from an
island in the eye of a storm of doubt my heart opens
wide at the sound of your voice there's room for you
here but you'll have to make a choice
chorus:
this boat ' it is not mighty but it can be a trusted
friend and it can travel just like lightning when it's sails
catch the wind if you stand here in the evening & let the
mist cover your face you'll find yourself believing this ol' boat ' can take you any
place

-- won't let me through you'll have to take ' your chance with
the sea strike out from shore
& swim to me

Lindy, Amelia
and Me (Walt Aldridge/Jenny
Yates)
last night i dreamed i was trying my wings '
flying up through the clouds to the great unknown lindy, amelia and me
we navigated together light as feathers i sat in the
cockpit between them lindy, amelia
and me
over the ocean and into the night the stars were all
out and the moon was just right fearlessly following finally
free i caught a glimpse of the big
mystery
they told me to hold the course steady ever-ready to take
to the skies when i have a dream lindy, amelia and me
over the ocean and into the night the stars were all
out and the moon was just right fearlessly following finally
free i caught a glimpse ' of all i could
be
well i've never been a dare-devil stayed safe ' level but i
saw the world in a different light with lindy, amelia and
me lucky lindy, amelia and me

Standing Outside the
Fire
(Garth Brooks/Jenny
Yates)
we call them cool ' those hearts that have no
scars to show the ones that never do let go and risk the
tables being turned we call them fools ' who have to dance
within the flame who chance the sorrow and the shame that
always comes with getting burned but you've got to be tough when
consumed by desire cause it's not enough ' just to stand outside
the fire
we call them strong ' those who can face this
world alone who seem to get by on their own those who will
never take the fall we call them weak ' who are unable to
resist the slightest chance love might exist and for that
forsake it all they're so hell-bent on giving and walking a
wire convinced it's not living '
if you stand outside the fire
chorus:
standing outside the fire standing outside the
fire life is not tried ' it is merely survived if you're standing outside the
fire
there's this love that is burning deep in my
soul constantly yearning to get out of control wanting to
fly higher and higher i can't abide ' standing outside the
fire

i ask for forgiveness and let me forgive there's
all kinds of blindness that won't live and let live this world

Beautiful
World (Mark Isham/Jenny Yates)
morning
rose in the east today lit the sky ' in its usual way so alive
' thankful just to be it's a beautiful world i see
in my dreams ' i go far away from that place ' it's safe to
say there's so much in this life for me it's a beautiful world i see
snow still falls ' rains come down seasons change to bring us
'round life is good ' say a prayer tonight everything will be all
right
where we go ' it's what we bring what's in a heart ' is
everything look for good ' it will come to be it's a beautiful world i see
snow still falls ' rains come down seasons change to bring us
'round life is good ' say a prayer tonight everything will be all
right
roses bloom ' guess they always knew why they're here ' what
they're meant to do you and i ' wonder endlessly it's a beautiful world i see
i close my eyes ' to the mystery it's a beautiful world
