Give A Dog A Bone (Alice Olsen) You've got me jumping like a dog full of fleas. One look at you makes me weak in the knees, And I start begging, honey, pretty please, Give me your loving now and don't be a tease. What do you say, now, won't you take me home? Come on baby, GIVE A DOG A BONE. My tail starts wagging when you come in the room. You drive me crazy make me howl at the moon. Then you start saying that it's way too soon, Leave me deflated like a limp balloon. Now tell me honey is your heart made of stone? Come on baby, GIVE A DOG A BONE. You keep me on such a short leash, And then start jerking my chain. Keeping all the good things out of reach, Is driving me insane. So take some pity on this poor old hound. You know that no is such a lonesome sound. I'll be the best one that you ever found, If you quit giving me the run around. If you won't love me honey, leave me alone. Come on baby, GIVE A DOG A BONE. Don't even call me on the telephone. Come on baby, GIVE A DOG A BONE. Come on baby, GIVE A DOG A BONE. Ah honey, GIVE A DOG A BONE!

Jump Right In (Alice Olsen) Everyone has a sinner inside, Everyone has a saint. It all depends on which face you hide Which picture you're going to paint. Everyone has a box of regrets, Wishes and might have beens, But you pay the price you so won't forget, And then you gotta JUMP RIGHT IN. Chorus: JUMP RIGHT IN over your head, JUMP RIGHT IN with feet of lead, JUMP RIGHT IN though you might not swim, JUMP RIGHT IN cause you just might win. JUMP RIGHT IN to a heart that's full, JUMP RIGHT IN feel the current pull, JUMP RIGHT IN to where life begins, JUMP RIGHT IN. How would it feel if you promised to say Words that you save for the dark? How would it look if you went all the way To opening the door to your heart? When you spin the wheel and bet on the red You might take it a blow to the chin, But if you can dodge that punch to the head You know it's time to JUMP RIGHT IN. Repeat Chorus Wishes don't go anywhere But into empty space, But if you swear to take life's dare, You just might win the race, so ... Repeat Chorus

You Never Made Me Smile (Alice Olsen) You built me up just to break me down, Kept me under your heel with my face to the ground, Throwing me a crumb every once in awhile, But YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE. You took advantage of my gentle heart, Pulling at the seams 'til I ripped apart, And even when I traveled that extra mile, YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE. You broke my heart, then I patched it back together, Let go of my pride, thinking love would last forever. The time's long past for shedding tears. I've given up and into my fears. Holding my hand was never your style, No, YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE. Instrumental Interlude I kept on hoping you'd change your tune, But it was always too late or a little too soon, Until every excuse turned into a pile, Still YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE. You broke my heart, then I patched it back together, Let go of my pride, thinking love would last forever. Now it's time to wake up and smell that brew, Open up my eyes and see what's true. I'm tired of living a life of denial, 'Cause YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE, No, YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE.

The Love I Feel For You (Alice Olsen) I was just stumbling in the dark, Searching with out a clue. I'd never really felt that spark, 'Til I gave my heart to you. I spent my life just getting by, Love wasn't meant for me. But once I met you, well then I knew, Just how great a love could be. Chorus: There never was a star that shown brighter, There never was a flame burned so blue, Or a peace as deep, As THE LOVE I FEEL FOR YOU. There never was a heart so united, There never was a story so true, Yes there's nothing here on this world as great, As THE LOVE I FEEL FOR YOU. You changed my life forever and You taught my heart to sing. I want to be the one who stands Beside you through everything. So now I am asking the question, girl, Asking on bended knee, Is there a chance that you would spend The rest of your life with me? Repeat Chorus 2 Times

Lead Me Not Into Temptation (Alice Olsen) Here comes trouble in a black lace dress, My heart's pounding out an SOS, Telling me that I'd better run. She's as dangerous as a loaded gun, Rose tattoo peaking from her thigh, Vows start breaking when she walks by. Chorus: Devil's daughter get behind me, My will is weak and I'm all alone. LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION, I can get there on my own. When she starts heading for me, cross that floor, I start edging for the nearest door. She's bad luck, yeah, but don't you know, I can't resist her so I'd better go, 'Cause last time she made a move on me, I woke up broke, missing my car keys. Repeat Chorus Bridge: After just one round of what she had in store, I'd be crazy to go back for more, But she's got me falling off the wagon, My feet are moving but my heart is dragging. Repeat Chorus Repeat Chorus

If You've Never Had Tequila (Alice Olsen) IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA, You wouldn't understand, How a faithful, loving woman, Could be with another man, Even though she's wearing, Your ring on her left hand. IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA, You wouldn't understand. IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA, It might not be so clear, How her hurting heart was needing him, To say what she wanted to hear. She forgot your broken promises, When he held her near. But IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA, It might not be so clear. One drink, she numbs the heartache. Two drinks, there goes her pain. Three drinks she doesn't care no more, That she don't know his name. Four drinks, she only knows, He can help her make a start, Pretending everything's okay, And love didn't fall apart. But IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA, You probably wouldn't know, How his arms could give her heart the strength, To love and let you go. And the emptiness you're reaping, Comes from the seeds you sow. But IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA, You probably wouldn't know. IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA, You might not understand, She wouldn't be needing Tequila, If you'd loved her like a man.

Where Did The Good Old Days Go? (Alice Olsen) When he was a young man he worked in the wild west, Breaking the broncos and running trap lines. Now he sits in his chair watching old John Wayne movies, And his greatest adventures are the ones in his mind. Chorus: What ever happened to being so young? WHERE DID THE GOOD OLD DAYS GO? Life rearranges and everything changes, WHERE DID THE GOOD OLD DAYS GO? WHERE DID THE GOOD OLD DAYS GO? She was a beauty the belle of the ballroom, Young men would fight for the chance for one dance Now she waits for the weekend when grand kids might call her, And books with big print are her source for romance. Repeat Chorus Their faces are formed by the story of life, Traveled together as husband and wife. Though their vision is blurred and they have to move slow, Inside they're still who they were long ago. So... Repeat Chorus

Everybody Wants To Be Loved (Alice Olsen & Daryl Keith Norman) Verse #1: It only takes a little spark before the fire grows. It only takes the rain to fall before the river flows. It only takes a single touch before the feeling starts. You've got to love somebody first before they take your heart. Chorus: EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LOVED, Everybody needs a hand to hold on to. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LOVED, Someone to lean on - someone true. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LOVED, So let the love shine in. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LOVED, Just let it begin. Verse #2: What you give is what you get. It's easy if you try. Lift somebody off the ground - soon you'll learn to fly. Love just can't be held inside or saved for a rainy day. Take your chances as they come before they slip away. Bridge: Life's too short to take for granted, No time for goodbyes, So take my hand - let's see the world, As seen through lover's eyes.

I'm Just My Father's Son (Alice Olsen) It's 4 am, the break of dawn, I'm struggling to see, A picture of my father, A soldier just like me. I'm hoping it will give me strength, To follow in his steps, To sacrifice for freedom, And serve with no regrets. Chorus: I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON With a family back home, I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON Facing danger on my own, Ready to give my life, To do what must be done, I don't call myself a hero, I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON. My daddy served his country, And he earned the purple heart. He told me he was scared, But he still did his part. I'm proud he served the best he could, And fought with all his might. He faced his fears and showed me, That freedom's worth the fight. Repeat Chorus Bridge: Sometimes my family's love is all that holds me up, And my dreams about tomorrow , they're the stuff that fills my cup. Then I think about that picture and my Daddy's bravery, And I pick up that courage that he passed on to me. Cause ... Repeat Chorus Tag: No, I don't call myself a hero I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON.

Only A Mom 03:59
Only A Mom (Alice Olsen) I overheard a mom today, Talking 'bout her teenaged girls. She told about the things they'd done You could see they were her world. Then she said, "I feel confused and lost, Now my kids are almost grown. I don't know who I'm supposed to be, 'Cause I'm ONLY A MOM." But... Chorus: ONLY A MOM, Can rock a child all through the night. ONLY A MOM, Can kiss and make things right. ONLY A MOM, Loves so unconditionally, She holds her children tight, Then sets them free, ONLY A MOM. I used to think my Mom stayed home, 'Cause that's all she could do. I never knew her sacrifice, Or what I put her through. She gave up all her dreams To help me be who I've become, Now I'll tell anyone who says, That she's ONLY A MOM That... Repeat Chorus Bridge: You know when I get home I'm gonna call my mom, And tell her what she means to me, So she knows how much I love her, She's what ONLY A MOM can be. 'Cause... Repeat Chorus

You're Gone 04:27
You're Gone ( Alice Olsen and Daryl Keith Norman) Verse One: Sitting in the midnight rain, Watching the stars go by, Every thought's a stinging pain, While I wonder why, Chorus: YOU'RE GONE like a shot in the night. YOU'RE GONE like a flame that's losing light. YOU'RE GONE. Blasting my dreams like dynamite. YOU'RE GONE like a thief in the dark. YOU'RE GONE except this pain in my heart. YOU'RE GONE. YOU'RE GONE. Verse Two: All of my unanswered questions, Cut at my heart like a knife. I can't even ask for suggestions, How I can live my life; now that Repeat Chorus Bridge: Can't sleep; can't eat; can't thinkn My mind's a scrambled mess. I'm stranded on the brink, Built of broken promises. Repeat Chorus

Cowboy Angels (Alice Olsen) COWBOY ANGELS don't play harps up there in heaven. They much prefer to hear a steel guitar, And their wings of pearly white, sparkle through the night, Reflecting from the rhinestone studded stars. COWBOY ANGELS don't play harps up there in heaven. It's just too tame for them to two-step to, And all those fluffy little clouds can't handle all the crowds, For this honky-tonking, halo wearing crew. Chorus: And if I get be a COWBOY ANGEL, And go to heaven when my time on earth is through, Yes, if I get to be a COWBOY ANGEL, I'll play the songs the way the cowboys do. COWBOY ANGELS don't play harps up there in heaven. You know, that's not the way their tune would go. They need a little twang when the singer starts to "sang", A song of buckaroos and rodeos. COWBOY ANGELS don't play harps up there in heaven. That sound won't make them smile or bring a tear, So they spend their days and nights in the glow of neon lights, With the music and the mem'ries they hold dear. Repeat Chorus

His Hand Is On The Door Knob (Alice Olsen) HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KNOB, He's knocking to come in. Jesus' bringing sweet redemption, To rid the world of sin. He's asking everybody, To change their foolish ways. HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KNOB, And He's come for you today. Chorus: Throw open all the doors, Take down the chains and bars, That keep His saving love, From filling up your heart. Yes, open up to Jesus, And take Him for your own, He wants to be your Savior so, Let Jesus lead you home. HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KNOB, The key turns in the lock. As the hard times come upon us, He is gathering in His flock. So will you will you follow Jesus, As His love leads the way? HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KNOB, And He's come for you today. Repeat Chorus HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KNOB, It's opening for you. Jesus comes for true believers, Will you join the chosen few? He's given you a choice, So when He calls what will you say? HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KNOB, And He's come for you today. Repeat Chorus Tag: HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KNOB, Will you turn Him away? HIS HAND IS ON THE DOOR KN
