And Still Composer(s): Liz Hengber - Tommy Lee James Reba McEntire; The Country Dance Kings; Homewreckers
Thousands of people live in this town And I had to run into him When I saw him there on that busy street Those feelings came back again There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide He walked up to me, looked in my eyes
And still The world stood still I couldnt move And all I could feel Was this aching in my heart Saying I loved him still
He said howve you been Its great to see you again Youre really a sight for sore eyes I said, I cant complain Im doing fine We talked as the people rushed by We laughed about old times and all we went through Thats when he hugged me and said Ive missed you
Thats when she walked up to him He said, this is my wife I gave my best smile But I was dying inside He said we gotta go now Its getting late It was so good to see you Then they walked away
Home Of The Blues Composer(s): Dave Steen; Colin James Performer(s): Maria Muldaur
This old house never was much But you and me together gave a lovin' touch Now you're gone, it's not the same The whole house is haunted with the sound of your name
There's just too many menories walkin' these halls Too many teardrops when the evening falls I've had enough, I'm leavin' it all Got no ticket, just my walking shoes Cause since you loved me baby I got nothing to lose I'm packing up before the rent is due This old house without you is just the home of the blues Home of the blues
I got a cold bed and an empty heart I think I hear you callin' and it tears me apart Mississippi Delta got nothing on this shack I'm leavin' here tomorrow and I ain't lookin' back
There's just too many menories walkin' these halls Too many teardrops when the evening falls I've had enough, I'm leavin' it all Got no ticket, just my walking shoes Cause since you loved me baby I got nothing to lose I'm packing up before the rent is due This old house without you is just the home of the blues Home of the blues
Got no ticket, just my walking shoes Cause since you loved me baby I got nothing to lose I'm packing up before the rent is due This old house without you is just the home of the blues Home of the blues
Still Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Bill Anderson
(Still) though you broke my heart (Sill) though we're far apart (I love you still) (Still) after all this time (Still) you're still on my mind (I love you still)
I've lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the days In fact, I've lost just about everything since you went away Everything, that is, except the mem'ries you left me And that's one thing that no one can mar I don't know who you're with; I don't even know where you've gone My only hope is that some day you might hear this song and you'll know that I wrote it especially for you And I love you, wherever you are
(Still) after all this time (Still) you're still on my mind (I love you still)
This flame in my heart is like an eternal fire for every day it burns hotter and every day it burns higher And I haven't been able to put out one little flicker, not even with all of these tears My friends think I'm crazy and maybe I am But I'll carry this torch just as long as I can for some day, you might just decide to come home and I want you to know I'm still here
(Still) though you broke my heart (Still) though we're far apart (I love you still)
Way out in the land of the setting sun Where the wind blows wild and free There's a lovely spot, just the only one That means home sweet home to me If you follow the old Kit Carson trail Until desert meets the hills Oh you certainly will agree with me It's the place of a thousand thrills
Home means Nevada Home means the hills Home means the sage and the pine Out by the Truckee, silvery rills Out where the sun always shines Here is the land which I love the best Fairer than all I can see Deep in the heart of the golden west Home means Nevada to me
Whenever the sun at the close of day Colors all the western sky Oh my heart returns to the desert grey And the mountains tow'ring high Where the moon beams play in shadowed glen With the spotted fawn and doe All the live long night until morning light Is the loveliest place I know
Home means Nevada Home means the hills Home means the sage and the pine Out by the Truckee, silvery rills Out where the sun always shines Here is the land which I love the best Fairer than all I can see Deep in the heart of the golden west Home means Nevada to me

Home Lovin' Man Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenaway; Tony Macaulay Performer(s): Andy Williams; Tony Christie
The harbor lights were shining The moon was at its high The captain said, "Thank God we're home! We've drunk the barrels dry" The mizzen mast was shaken And the lanterns all burned low I'd never thought we'd make it But we've twenty leagues to go So blow you southern trades And guide me safely to the shore I'll never ever gonna sail The seven seas no more
Chorus: I don't want to miss the sand in my hair The roll of the tide and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies Lo, I've traveled far I'm a home loving man Home is where you are
The crowd upon the quayside Their faces long and drawn Are suddenly awakened As we sail in on the dawn The wives, the sons, the lovers Who never gave up hope All breathe a sigh together As they reach to catch the rope
God bless you, southern trades You got me safely back this time Oh, you'll never have the need again To save this soul of mine
Chorus
Repeat Chorus: Yes, I don't want to miss the sand in my hair The roll of the tides and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you...
Sticks And Stones Composer(s): Jonathan Edwards Performer(s): Jonathan Edwards
Where do I begin to pack up my things And move away from what might have been Was it in some song that came out all wrong And yet we both tried so hard to sing I'll pack my guitar I'll leave you with the car I hope it won't be too cold to start But I must get going The kids get up at dawn And this is sure to break somebody's heart
(Chorus) Now, when did we grow this far apart Love was forever at the start But now it's come down to sticks and stones When did we go wrong When were we not strong And did we try hard enough to care It's cold as hell outside It's just as cold inside Now that there's nothing left to share I'll pack up my books, linger with last looks And I'll throw them all in my truck and drive From these sticks and stones And the lies on the phone But I hope all that you want will arrive
(Chorus) I'd better be on my way right now I'm bad at goodbyes anyhow Now it's come down to sticks and stones
(Chorus) When did we grow this far apart Love was so kind to us at the start But now it's come down to sticks and stones I'd better be on my way right now I'm bad at goodbyes anyhow Now it's come down to sticks and stones
Home Is Where The Heart Is Composer(s): Connie Gately; John Talley Performer(s): Old & In The Way; and various other artists
Nestled in the pine trees in the mountains Down along the road, I love it still There I know my dear old mother's waiting Waiting, and I know she always will
Home is where the heart is, they tell me Many times I've travelled that lonesome road They'll never find a pal as sweet as mother They'll never find a place as sweet as home
Now many years ago I left my old home Started out to ramble all around If ever I return to where I came from I'll build a little home and settle down
Home is where the heart is, they tell me Many times I've travelled that lonesome road They'll never find a pal as sweet as mother They'll never find a place as sweet as home
Shady Lady Composer(s): Philip Kirkorov - Karen Kavaleryan First performance by: Ani Lorak - 2008
You've been my superstar But it's not what you are You've been my super hero Since I've lived in your shade Every step that I made Brought me nothing but zero
But I'm staying alive And now I'm changin' my life With a burning desire No one knows who I am But I don't give a damn Gonna set you on fire
Shady lady I'm gonna strike like thunder Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder Rollin' steady I'm gonna make you shiver My heart is burning
Shady lady I'm gonna strike like thunder Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder Rollin' steady I'm gonna make you shiver My heart is burning now
Just take a look at me Deep inside and you'll see All I kept under cover There is one thing I bet You're about to regret I'm no longer your lover
I've just turned one more page I belong to the stage Baby, don't call me baby
Shady lady I'm gonna strike like thunder Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder Rollin' steady I'm gonna make you shiver My heart is burning now
(Shady lady) (Shady lady)
I wanna light you up and leave you alone I am a brand new star that you've never known I wanna light you up and leave you alone I am a brand new star that you've never known
(Shady lady) (Are you ready?)
Shady lady I'm gonna strike like thunder Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder Rollin' steady I'm gonna make you shiver My heart is burning now
Stick It On The Wall, Mrs. Riley Composer(s): Arion - Madden Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
Stick it on the wall, Mrs. Riley Enoughs enough for any old bit of fluff
(Alan) Mrs. Riley wears a fur that really is a sight A cross between a door mat and a cat that lost a fight She wears it summer, autumn, spring, Whenever she goes out And when shes coming down the street Youll hear the neighbours shout
Stick it on the wall, Mrs. Riley Dont you think youve had it long enough Stick it in the fire, Mrs. Riley There comes an end to every bit of fluff Its made a meal for every moth Thats fluttered round the town Its worn and torn and all forlorn Its time you laid it down So stick it on the wall, Mrs. Riley The poor old thing is getting much too rough I mean your bit of beaver, Mrs. Riley Enoughs enough for any old piece of fluff
(Billy) Why dont you stick it on the wall, Mrs Riley
(Alan) Splendid idea, William
(Billy) Dont you think youve had it long enough
(Alan) Yes and actually I should stick it in the fire, Mrs Riley
(Billy) Good a place as any
(Alan) There comes an end to every bit of fluff
(Billy) March of time, old boy Its made a meal for every moth thats fluttered round the town

Peace Will Come Composer(s): Kim Breitburg - Karen Kavaleryan First performance by: Diana Gurtskaya - 2008
Look, the sky is crying cold bitter tears Weeping for the people lost in fear While we fight for nothing, my eyes run dry Are you still so blind to ask me why? Why?
Say it out loud: peace will come Everybody, shout: peace will come When you stop and tame your rage Something's gotta change Something's gotta change
Say it out loud: peace will come Everybody, shout: peace will come Blow the trumpet, beat the drum Peace will come
Sometimes words kill faster than bullets do But the face of war is never true Kids with guns are always too young to die Are you still so deaf to ask me why? Why?
Say it out loud: peace will come Everybody, shout: peace will come When you stop and tame your rage Something's gotta change Something's gotta change
Say it out loud: peace will come Everybody, shout: peace will come Blow the trumpet, beat the drum Peace will come
My land is still crying, torn in half My world is slowly dying My heart is only crying Peace and love Oh no, no, no
Say it out loud: peace will come Everybody, shout: peace will come When you stop and tame your rage Something's gotta change Something's gotta change
Say it out loud: peace will come Everybody, shout: peace will come Blow the trumpet, beat the drum Peace will come
Home In The Mountains Composer(s): Don Reno Performer(s): Don Reno
I want to go back to my home in the mountains Where shade trees grow all around Where grass grows so green and flowers are still blooming I'm leaving and that's where I'm bound
I'm only a man, I don't care for riches I'm tired of living this way I'm going back to my home in the mountains And this time I'm going to stay
I want to be free where the birds are still singing And whippoorwills call out at night The air is still clear and neighbors say howdy And stars in Heaven shine bright
I'm only a man, I don't care for riches I'm tired of living this way I'm going back to my home in the mountains And this time I'm going to stay
You've been smiling lately baby You've been singing in the bath You've been acting like a lady Not a dirty photograph Then tonight you came home early Packed a bag or two It's been worrying me honey Just what you're gonna do, ooh
Stick around, yeah, stick around Stick around, baby, stick around
Well you came on like a hurricane, hey About a month ago Blowing like a stiff breeze Always on the go All the good times that we had baby All stayed in the past All the good lays that I get Never seem to last
Stick around, yeah, stick around Stick around, baby, stick around Come on baby, sit on this
What have I been doing lately To make you wanna go I take you out dancing Honey we can go out to a show Spend a night romancing Nights out on the town Listen to me baby You'll be glad you stuck around
Stick around, yeah, stick around, oh honey Stick around, yeah, stick around Stick around, around, around, around, around Stick around, c'mon baby stick around don't let me down Stick around, yeah, stick around
Home For Sale Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Home for sale That's much too large Too many rooms Big ole empty yard Far more space Than the owner needs Price includes All memories
Home for sale Restored like new Just a place Two lives outgrew A change in heart Forces move away Would like to keep But just can't stay
Listen close and you might hear the sound Of what you think is rainfall leaking down The roof is fine Set aside your fears It's just a few remaining tears
Home for sale Not all that old A family's dream Stands dark and cold Scenic views That go for free Of all the love That used to be
Airport Composer(s): John Anthony Performer(s): Wet Willie
My baby came in a plane last night We went down to meet her, but I had the wrong flight Yea the man at the desk said that she wasn't due He said she wouldn't be in for an hour or too
No, no, no
We waited, we waited, until i broke I said to myself this must be a joke I went up to the desk and said look here man What time did you say my baby's gonna land? Well he looked at his book and he said hey sport You got the right plane baby, but the wrong airport
I finally got to see my baby you see A half an hour later she was laying next to me She was lookin real good and she sounded alright Ya know my baby knocked me around and she found a fight
Home Before Dark Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh; Sammy Cahn
Home before dark I hurry home before dark Before the sun goes to rest I must fly to my nest like the lark Home before dark I must get home before dark Its almost ready to storm And love waits with a warm remark
Home before dark Its good to be home before dark So good to be held in the arms The arms of the one I love
Airport Composer(s): Andy McMaster Performer(s): The Motors
So many destination faces going to so many places Where the weather is much better And the food is so much cheaper Well I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy I hear the plane is ready by the gateway to take my love away And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me and it's getting me so It's getting me so
Airport Airport, you've got a smiling face You took the one I love so far away Fly her away - fly her away - airport Airport, you've got a smiling face You took my lady to another place Fly her away - fly her away
The plane is on the move And the traces of the love we had in places Are turning in my mind - how I wish I'd been much stronger For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing And I know that she is leaving On the jet plane way down the runaway And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me - and it's Getting me so It's getting me so
