CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING BUT YOU
Byron Hill & Alex HallASK ME WHAT TIME IT IS
I DON’T KNOW
ASK ME WHAT DAY IT IS
I DON’T KNOW
I WAKE UP EACH MORNING WITH YOU ON MY MIND
BEFORE I KNOW IT THE DAY GOES BY
CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING
CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING BUT YOUUSED TO BE MY MIND
WAS A BUSY PLACE
A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE
NIGHT AND DAY
BUT HERE LATELY YOU’VE SURE CHANGED ME
I’M A GENIUS AT JUST ONE THING
CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING
CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING BUT YOUI MUST TURNING INTO SOME KIND OF FOOL
NO ONE TOLD ME THAT’S WHAT LOVE WILL DO
THERE’S SOMETHING ELSE BUT I FORGOT THAT TOO
I FORGOT MORE THAN I EVER KNEW
CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING
CAN’T THINK OF NOTHING BUT YOUINSTRUMENTAL
WAKE UP EACH MORNING WITH YOU ON MY MIND

LOVE IS NOT A CRIME
Byron Hill & Roger BrownLOVE IS NOT A CRIME
WE’RE NOT BREAKING ANY LAWS
IF I STEAL YOUR HEART
TAKE YOUR BREATH

LOVE IS NOT A CRIMEYOU DON’T NEED AN ALIBI
JUST TO BE, WITH ME
NOTHING THAT WE’RE DOING NOW
SHOULD MAKE US FEEL GUILTYREPEAT CHORUS
LOVE’S NOT ALWAYS HIDING OUT
IN DISGUISE, ON THE RUN
WE CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS
COMPLETELY INNOCENT, NO HARM DONE
LOVE IS NOT A CRIMEINSTRUMENTAL
OOOH…NO ONE’S GONNA STOP US
OOOH…THE TRUTH IS THERE TO SEE, IN OUR EYESREPEAT CHORUS

IT’S JUST A SONG
Byron Hill, Roger Brown, & Gord BamfordIT’S JUST A SONG
PLAYING ON THE RADIO
BUT SUDDENLY I’M LOST
AND DON’T KNOW WHERE TO GO
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS DOING FINE

IT’S JUST A SONGIT’S JUST A SONG
IT SHOULDN’T MAKE ME HURT THIS WAY
WORDS THAT RHYME
SHOULDN’T CAUSE MY HEART TO BREAK
I WONDER WHY I FELT LIKE THIS
THE MOMENT IT CAME ON
HOW DID IT DO ALL THAT TO ME

MAKE ME WISH YOU STILL WERE MINE
IT’S JUST A SONGINSTRUMENTAL
IT’S JUST A SONG
BUT LOOK WHAT THAT SONG’S DONE TO ME
IT WAS JUST ANOTHER DAY
BUT NOW IM GONNA BE
WISHING YOU WERE IN MY ARMS

RED LEATHER COUCH
Byron HillI’VE SPENT SOME LAZY DAYS
HERE KICKIN’ BACK

HE’S COMPLETELY SPRAWLED OUT
YEAH LIFE IS SOMETIMES JUST TOO GOOD
ON THIS RED LEATHER COUCHTHERE’S A RING STAIN ON THE ARM REST

ON THIS RED LEATHER COUCHI’VE SAT HERE PLAYING MY GUITAR
TIL WAY PAST MIDNIGHT
TRYING TO FIND THE PERFECT WORDS
FOR A SONG TO WRITE
AND I’VE HELD A GAL HERE
IN MY ARMS MAKING OUT

WHEN I HEARD THAT MELODY
AND THOSE WORDS ABOUT A YOUNG MAN
WHO WAS ALMOST JUST LIKE ME

AND I’M FACE DOWN WITH A SPLASHREPEAT CHORUS

THEN HE SAYS “HOWDY MISTER
CAUGHT ANY CRAWDADS YET”ONE LOOK AT HIS GRIN, AND THE TRUTH SUNK IN

AFTER YOU’RE GONE
Byron Hill & Tony HillerI’VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT
TOO MANY TIMES
WHAT I WOULD DO
IF YOU SAID GOODBYE
I MIGHT BE CRAZY
FOR WORRYIN’ TOO MUCH
BUT THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVEAFTER YOU’RE GONE
THERE’LL BE MORE ROOM AROUND HERE
MORE ROOM FOR WALKIN’
WALKIN’ THE FLOOR
AFTER YOU’RE GONE
I’LL HAVE MORE TIME ON MY HANDS
MORE TIME FOR BREAKIN’
MY HEART OVER YOUI KNOW WHEN I HOLD YOU
YOUR LOVE’S HERE TO STAY
AND WE’LL BE TOGETHER
FOREVER THIS WAY
BUT THIS BURNIN’ FEELIN’
GETS INSIDE A MAN
AFRAID THAT A GOOD THING
WILL SLIP FROM HIS HANDS(REPEAT CHORUS)

TOOK HER TO THE MOON
Byron Hill & Mark NeslerI’M NOT SURE WHAT I DID JUST YET
BUT SOMETHING KICKED IN ON THE NIGHT WE MET
LOOKS LIKE HER HEART’S OUT OF CONTROL
WHAT SHE’S GONNA DO NEXT I DON’T KNOWSHE’S ALREADY DREAMIN’ BOUT A HOUSE ON A HILL
HOW DOES SHE THINK I’M GONNA PAY THOSE BILLS
WHEN ALL I CAN AFFORD IS A TWO ROOM SHACK
TOOK HER TO THE MOON AND I CAN’T BRING HER BACKWHERE DID MY FISHIN’ MAGAZINES GO
EVERYWHERE I LOOK THERE’S ANOTHER COSMO
FLOWERS IN THE KITCHEN AND A NEW BED SPREAD
YOU TELL ME WAS IT SOMETHING I SAIDEVEN OL’ BLUE’S TAKIN’ IT ROUGH
SHE CLIPPED HIS NAILS AND POWDERED HIM UP
HER MIND’S RUNNIN’ ON A ONE WAY TRACK
TOOK HER TO THE MOON AND I CAN’T BRING HER BACKWHERE’S THAT GIRL THAT I USED TO KNOW
THE ONE WHO SAID WE’D BETTER TAKE IT SLOW
WHAT ON EARTH DO I DO NOW
TO PUT HER FEET BACK ON THE GROUNDSHE GOES TO THE MALL BUT SHE NEVER SAYS WHY
BRINGS HOME THINGS THAT A MAN WON’T BUY
I’VE ALREADY TOLD HER ENOUGH’S ENOUGH
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH ALL THIS STUFFSHE BOUGHT A BUNCH OF SOAP THAT WON’T LET ME USE
TOILET SEAT COVERS AND HAND TOWELS TOO
THE KIND YOU DON’T TOUCH, JUST LEAVE ‘EM ON THE RACK
TOOK HER TO THE MOON AND I CAN’T BRING HER BACK(REPEAT BRIDGE)
