Stand Beside Me
He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder He said he had to find himself out on the road I guess when love goes wrong You've gotta learn to be strong So I worked two jobs and I moved three times I ended up south of Memphis, workin' down in Riverside I may not be so lucky in love But the one thing I'm sure of I want a man that stands beside me Not in front of or behind me Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me And I'll give all the love in my heart Stand beside me Be true, don't tell lies to me I'm not lookin' for a fantasy I want a man who stands beside me I didn't expect to see him, one hot July morning His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue He said, "I've missed you for so long Oh baby, what can I do?" I said, "I want a man that stands beside me Not in front of or behind me Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me And I'll give all the love in my heart" Oh, it's hard to tell him, "No" When I want him so bad But I've got to be true to my heart This time I'm not looking for a fantasy I want a man who stands beside me I want a man who stands beside me Stand beside me Stand beside me Oh oh oh oh... Fool Hearted Man

Bye Bye Bye
Boy you sure look good there standin' in the doorway in the sunset light Maybe I read you wrong thinkin' you could be my Mr. Right I was puttin' my heart and soul on the line Said you needed some time, just a little more time to make up your mind Well it's been long enough Time is up Bye bye love, I'll catch you later Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror torn off I ain't never lookin' back. And that's a fact. I've tried all I can imagine I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye Don't think all those tears are gonna hold me here like they've done before You'll find what's left of us in a cloud of dust on highway 4 Baby what did you expect me to do Just sit around and wait on you Well I'm through watchin' you just skate around the truth And I know it sounds trite I've seen the light Bye bye love, I'll catch you later Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror torn off 'Cause I ain't never lookin' back, and that's a fact. I've tried all I can imagine I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye I'd lost the game I guess I did my best to win the part Now I'm leavin' here with what's left of my heart. Bye bye, I'll catch you later Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror torn off 'Cause I ain't never lookin' back. You can count on that. I've tried all I can imagine I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye Bye bye Ooh baby Oh oh Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye Heads Carolina, Tails California
