1. Smooth Ride
Jane Getz and Pat Robinson
Are you kind? Considerate?
Would you give me your love if I wanted it?
Don’t like wild or out of control,
a speed demon tearing up the road.
(Chorus)
I want a smooth, smooth ride,
a little comfort for this heart of mine.
Love will be waiting at the end of the line,
if you give me a smooth, smooth ride.
Are you steady, do you follow through?
When no one’s watching are you still true blue?
Or would you drive me up a wall?
Would all your baggage fill up a u-haul?
(Repeat Chorus)
Let’s go right now, clear the road ahead.
We might have found, the road to happiness.
Would you stick with me if things got rough?
Would you want more if you had more than enough?
If you were a fat cat on easy street,
Would you spend all your nine lives with me?
(Repeat Chorus)
Smooth, smooth ride.
Smooth, smooth ride.

2. Kitten
Christine Rosander
Stay with me a little while,
It won’t be long now,
I wanna feel your gentle touch.
Lay with me a little while,
For all the old times,
You know it means so much.
Feels so good it feels so easy.
Baby you know how to please me.
(Chorus)
Find me a little piece of sunshine,
Just a crack through the curtain.
Bah bah doo bah dot dee yow.
Find me a little piece of sunshine,
And I’ll be purrin’ like a kitten in the mornin’.
And I’ll be purrin’ like a kitten in the mornin’.
Bah bah doo bah dot dee yow.
Bah bah doo bah dot dee yow.
Kiss me for a little while,
Don’t say a word,
Just let me feel your arms around me.
Miss me for a little while,
No time for tears,
Remember all the love we found.
Feels so good it feels so easy.
Baby you know how to please me.

3. Cattle Press
Christine Rosander and Jane Getz
My head’s been talkin’ to me, playin’ dirty tricks.
Tells me I’m a bad girl, got me in a fix.
Honey won’t you save me? Wash me clean as rain.
Take me now, hold me tight, you can ease the pain.
(Chorus)
Baby I need pressure, like a cattle press,
put your arms around me, squeeze out my regrets.
When I’m feelin’ lonely, bad as it can get,
need your arms around me, squeeze out my regrets.
Look into the mirror, don’t recognize my life.
This crazy lonely feelin’ eatin’ me alive.
You can be my savior, Daddy set me free.
Lovin’ arms, angel wings, come and cover me.
(Repeat Chorus. Breakdown. Repeat Chorus)
Regrets…regrets…regrets.

4. Good Boy
Christine Rosander and Ronnie Shelton
I know it’s hard to understand, I can’t explain it very well.
I wanna stay, but I’m not that strong.
I know it’s hard to understand, but we can’t live this way.
No not this way, but you’ll get along.
(Chorus)
You’re a good boy, aren’t you?
You’re my really good boy.
You’re a good boy, aren’t you?
You’re a good boy, aren’t you?
You’re my really good boy.
You’re a good boy, aren’t you?
I know it’s hard, maybe you’ll understand one day.
I really wanna stay, wanna hold you tight.
I know it’s hard to understand, but baby we can’t pretend.
You know I gotta go, but you’ll be all right.
(Repeat Chorus)
And there are so many people, telling you what to do.
And there are so many changes, you can’t understand.
And there are so many people telling you what’s right,
And there are so many different people
To tuck you in at night.
(Repeat Chorus)
You’ll be all right.

5. Sailing
Christine Rosander, Sarah Rose Chernoff, Jeffrey Parker Whitley
Now the clouds are calling you, I’ve made up my mind.
Had to work a few things through, oh we’re out of time.
From the start it was clear, anyone can see,
What I needed all along, you know how much you mean to me.
(Chorus)
Open your eyes and come home. Open your eyes for me.
I can see that you’re sailing, sailing away from me.
I can see that you’re sailing, sailing away from me.
In the sky a million stars, none that shine so bright.
Eyes that smile when you laugh, I wish for you tonight.
Another day, another way, a different circumstance.
Never thought I’d have to say, give me one more chance.
(Repeat Chorus)
Open your eyes for me.
Open your eyes for me.
Open your eyes for me.
(Repeat Chorus)
Sailing away from me.

6. My Heart Is A Ghost Town
Jane Getz
It’s a day when the rays of the sun burn a path across the sky.
And a twig snaps beneath your feet, the riverbed is dry.
I see you in the back of my mind,
I see you in the rear-view mirror.
You are there in the corner of my eye,
But when I look you disappear.
(Chorus)
My heart is a ghost town.
Windows boarded up the shades are drawn.
My heart is a ghost town.
When the sun goes down,
The moon comes out,
And midnight rolls around,
My heart is a ghost town.
I see the highway stretch before me wavy in the desert heat.
There’s a trail of bleached white bones the buzzards have picked clean.
Are you my drink of cool clear water, waiting ‘round the bend?
Or are you just a mirage that vanishes the closer I get?
(Repeat Chorus)
Ky I o ky ae, I ‘m still waiting for you.
Ky I o ky ae, when the winds of the desert blow cool.
My heart is a ghost town.
Streets are empty all is quiet.
My heart is a ghost town.
When the sun goes down,
The moon comes out,
The wicked wind begins to howl.
It’s over now,
When midnight rolls around
My heart is a ghost town…my heart.

7. The New Route 66
Jane Getz
Low flyin’ clouds on the horizon.
Dust storm comin’, see the white lightning.
Find a cool little diner. Try a blue plate special.
Pour on the hot sauce,
Til’ it was hotter than the devil,
Til’ it was hotter than the devil.
(Chorus)
Route 66 was the only way to go.
Jump in your Pontiac, wind at your back,
hang out with Kerouac and hit the road Jack.
Why don’t you hit the road?
Route 66 was the only way to go.
You got a set of wheels, high gloss shine.
Now you are baptized in a blaze of neon light.
The birth of the cool, a little Texas swing.
Now the beat generation was happening.
(Repeat Chorus)
It could be a real adventure.
It could change you life forever.
Jump in your Pontiac, wind at your back.
Now hit the road Jack, don’t you come back
no more, no more, no more, no more.
Route 66 was the only way to go.

8. Boxer
Christine Rosander
Father was killed right in front of his eyes,
Never understood it, didn’t know why.
Brother was killed the very same way,
Maybe he’ll see ‘em again someday.
Sometimes he run, tears comin’ out of his eyes;
He’s got so much pain locked up inside.
He take it out on the heavy bag.
Take it out when he spar.
(Chorus)
Every time he fight you see, this is for his family.
Every time he fight you see, he prays for his family.
Every time he fight you see, this is for his family.
This is for my father, this is for my brother,
this is for my sister, this is for my mother.
Sometimes he run tears comin’ out of his eyes,
He’s got so much pain locked up inside.
He take it out on the heavy bag.
Take it out when he spar.
(Repeat Chorus)
Thought he would jump off the Fourth Street Bridge,
take his own life. Something inside said no son,
no, that ain’t right. All you can do is,
the very best, best that you can.
Make us so proud now, fight like a man.

9. My Own Little World
Jane Getz
My mama told me that there were no free rides.
Gotta work hard ‘cause these are hard times.
But me, I just wanna sit and dream.
And I don’t care what they say ‘cause talk is cheap.
Wish they’d all go away so I can catch up on my sleep.
I gotta do what’s right for me.
(Chorus)
The world is going by to fast. The days are getting shorter.
I wanna sit here in the sun, beside the healing waters.
In my own little world, where skies are always blue,
In my own little world, I will dream of you.
The phone keeps ringin’ and the TV’s always on.
Lotsa traffic yeah, all that commotion.
I can barely catch my breath.
Too much static now the lines are crossed.
Can’t keep dancing when the music stops.
It’s time to give it a rest.
(Repeat Chorus)
I will dream of you.
And I believe that there’s a world apart,
There is a special place in the heart.
(Repeat Chorus)
In a world where dreams come true, in my world I dream of you.

10. Put Your Mind On Me
Christine Rosander and Ronnie Shelton
Close your eyes and imagine,
A place where you can go,
Far away from cares that bind you
And all the pain you know.
(Chorus)
You can have something deeper
Just reach out your hand
Put your mind on me
And you will understand.
Open your heart and imagine
Like a little child
Do you remember?
Once you were tender
Not afraid to cry out loud.
(Repeat Chorus…Repeat Chorus)
Put your mind on me
And you will understand.

11. Balm in Gilead
Traditional Spiritual
(Chorus)
There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.
(Repeat Chorus)
Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work’s in vain.
But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.
(Repeat Chorus)
If you cannot preach like Peter, if you cannot pray like Paul,
you can tell the love of Jesus and say he died for all.
(Repeat Chorus)
There is a balm….
Come sit beside the still waters.

12. Traveling Mercy
Christine Rosander
Oh Lord, grant me your mercy, I am so far from home.
Out here a heart gets so heavy, it feels like a stone.
All the time I’ve wasted; don’t know where to turn.
Bitter tears I’ve tasted; I got a lot to learn.
(Chorus)
Help me; help me find a way,
Through the fire and through the rain.
Help me; help me find a way.
I want to walk where angels walk.
Take me back where I belong.
Give me strength I pray.
So Lord, grant me your mercy, I’m a wandering soul.
Tell me, can we pick up these pieces? Will I ever be whole?
Somewhere there’s an answer, someone who cares.
Free from all the anger, free from all my fears.
(Repeat Chorus…Repeat Chorus)
