Coming Around the Bend
Tracie Lynn & Bruce Bouton

Broke down in Dallas
Trying to break free
From a bad situation the only thing left to do was leave
Stranded at a Texaco Station they said it would take a while
After the day I had I should have cried
But I just sat there and smiled

Sometimes it’s gonna rain
And that cold wind is gonna blow
I can ride out any storm if it’s a place I need to go
I know that this broken heart of mine is gonna mend
And I can’t wait to see what is coming around the bend

No doubt about it
That boy me for a ride
Told me that he loved me
Then he told me that he lied
I may have lost that man but I have not lost my pride
And for all I know about what I’ve learned
There will be better love next time

Sometimes it’s gonna rain
And that cold wind is gonna blow
But I can ride out any storm if it’s a place I need to go
I know that this broken heart of mine is gonna mend
And I can’t wait to see what is coming around the bend

The Texas sun set in my rearview
As I finally drove away
I drove on thru the darkness
Till I saw a brand new day

Sometimes it’s gonna rain
And that cold wind is gonna blow
But I can ride out any storm if it’s a place I need to go
I know that this broken heart of mine is gonna mend
And I can’t wait to see what is coming around the bend
I know that this broken heart or mine is gonna mend
I can’t wait to see what’s coming around the bend

Best Kept Secret
Tracie Lynn

I don’t brag about my baby
And I don’t draw attention to the sweet way that he loves me
I don’t tell all the girls about how he makes me laugh
Or how he brings a glass of wine when I take my bubble bath

I try not to look too satisfied
You’ll see no grin on my face
No sparkle in my eye
I read Wall Street so I know about investments
I’ve learn to play it cool with the fine art of discretion

Well, he’s a secret I like keeping to myself
If word gets out that he can make a body melt
Then all those girls would want this treasure I have found
I have the best kept secret in town

Small towns, they like to talk
Well, everybody knows just who’s doing what
I don’t say too much for fear that they might listen
They don’t need to know about the good thing that they’re missing

Well, he’s a secret I like keeping to myself
If word gets out that he can make my body melt
Then all those girls would want this treasure I have found
I have the best kept secret in town

Well, he’s a secret I like keeping to myself
If word gets out he can make a body melt
Then all those girls would want this treasure I have found
I’ve got the best kept secret in town
I’ve got the best kept secret in town

Happy Hour
Tracie Lynn & Robert Ellis Orall

It’s almost 9:30 and it won’t be long
Till I hear his keys in the door
I’ve had my dinner and he’s had his one beer
That always turns into one more
It’s tearing me up cause inside I know
He’d rather be out with the boys then come home

Why do they call it Happy Hour
It feels so sad to me
Drinks pour at five and go on all night
It never makes sense when I’m crying
So why do they call it happy hour

He comes in happy but he sure gets mad
When I’m not in the mood for a kiss
He just won’t listen when I try to tell him
That I can’t keep living like this
God knows I love him but I don’t think he can
Give me a reason that I’ll understand

Why do they call it Happy Hour
It feels so sad to me
Drinks pour at five and go on all night
It never makes sense when I’m crying
So why do they call it happy hour

Why do they call it Happy Hour
It feels so sad to me
Drinks pour at five and go on all night
It never makes sense when I’m crying
So why do they call it happy hour
Why do they call it happy hour

Lost in the Shuffle
Tracie Lynn & Scott Neubert

I’m scratching my head and wondering what in the world
I feel just like the invisible girl
Promotion that I wanted just past me by
No one seemed to notice the tear in my eye
The boss man said I can’t have my raise
Patted me on the back and forgot my name
Lost in the shuffle paying working girl dues
And all I want to do is get home to you

So baby put on your best boots
I’ll fix my hair just right
We’ll go where the band is wild
So we can dance all night
Two step across the dance floor
And baby when we do
I’ll find my trouble one step behind
When I’m lost in the shuffle with you

We’ve been blinded by the dollar sign
Putting in all of the over time
No use bankin’ on the extra pay
When we’re eating our dinners off of TV trays
Running like a freight train right on time
Trying to finish first in the cooperate climb
Lost in the shuffle working night and day
Well, love needs to take a little holiday

So baby put on your best boots
I’ll fix my hair just right
We’ll go where the band is wild
So we can dance all night
Two step across the dance floor
And baby when we do
I’ll find my trouble one step behind
When I’m lost in the shuffle with you
I’ll find my trouble one step behind
When I’m lost in the shuffle with you

Bad Case of the Blues
Tracie Lynn

The symptoms started the day you left
My is mind weary, my heart it’s a wreck
Can’t find the strength to carry on
Now that you’re in someone else’s arms

I’ll just have a bad case of the blues
I’m not myself anymore
I’ve got a bad case of the blues
And as far as I can see
The only cure for me
Is a little bit of lovin’ from you

My friends are worried about my condition
They give me advice but I never listen
They tell me try to find someone new
But it’s not an easy thing to do

When I’ve got a bad case of the blues
I’m not myself anymore
I’ve got a bad case of the blues
And as far as I can see
The only cure for me
Is a little bit of lovin’ from you

Thanks for the phone call it was awfully nice
I know you’re concerned but I’ll be alright
I think you know exactly what I need
So until you come back to me

I’ll just have a bad case of the blues
I’m not myself anymore
I’ve got a bad case of the blues
And as far as I can see
The only cure for me
Is a little bit of lovin’
A little bit of lovin’
A little bit of lovin’ from you

Living Out Loud
Tracie Lynn & Marvin Dykhuis

On a slow Friday I sat watching time go by
I’d have to take my pulse to make sure I was alive
So I took me to a bar to have a long talk with myself
I ordered up a Lone Star Beer and toasted to my health
From the corner came a woman that you seldom find
She strutted in like a princess with a mission on her mind

Living out loud
Living on purpose
With lots of love for her family and her friends
She makes the most of every moment
This woman knows what life is all about
She lives out loud

I watched her make the rounds I watched her make them smile
When I finally got to meet her I felt I had known her all my life
We became fast friends that’s just the way she was
We had a little girl talk and a whole lot of fun
I learned about her spirit and the passion of her soul
How she never worries about the things she can’t control

Living out loud
Living on purpose
Lots of love for her family and her friends
She makes the most of every moment
This woman knows what life is all about
She lives out loud

When life gets messy and a little hard to take
I think about that woman and the things I learned that day

Living out loud
Living on purpose
Lots of love for her family and her friends
She makes the most of every moment
This woman knows what life was all about
She lives out loud
Living out loud………….

Love Waits
Tracie Lynn & Casper Rawls

There’s a little baby bed
In a little baby room
In a small town down in Texas
She soon will call her home
To this Norman Rockwell painting add a blue eyed baby girl
She’ll be met with open arms in this corner of the world
The papers have been signed
And they pledge eternal faith
Destiny has lead her to a place

Where love waits
Love waits
This lucky little girl will know her way to a place
Where love waits

There’s a teddy bear upon the bed
But he don’t have a care
The room is filled with so much love
And so much more to spare
Mama’s making curtains
Hanging pictures on the walls
Daddy’s making plans
To make this house her home
Here she’ll plant her roots and she’ll spread her wings to fly
No matter how her life unfolds
She’ll always realize

Love waits
Love waits
This lucky little girl will know her way to a place
Where love waits

She is a chosen child
Adopted and embraced
Now it’s on and on and on down this loving path of faith

Where love waits
Love waits
This lucky little girl will know her way to a place
Where love waits
Love waits
This little girl will always know her way to a place
Where love waits

Good Bye For Now
Tracie Lynn & Tim Norton

We’ve agreed this is what we need
Permanent break up
There’ll be no kiss and make up
We’re done I reckon
I’m just checkin’
That we won’t be back for more
It’s over and we’re both perfectly sure
Since I’m at the door

Goodbye for now
I’m on my way out
I don’t think that I’m gonna miss you anyhow
You’re free to see anyone you please
As long as she ain’t skinner than me
She don’t dance and she don’t kiss
She don’t wear too tight of dress
Besides that you can date the whole damn town
Goodbye….
For now

It’s been a day or two
Funny I’d run into you
Guess it slipped your mind
This is where we use to dine
Is that Susan
She’s a loser
That girl gets on my nerves
I can’t believe you’re going out with her
Now it’s really over

Goodbye for now
I’m on my way out
I don’t think that I’m gonna miss you anyhow
You’re free to see anyone you please
As long as she ain’t skinner than me
She don’t dance and she don’t kiss
She don’t wear too tight of dress
Besides that you can date the whole damn town
Goodbye….
For now

Love Has No Bounds
Tracie Lynn & Wade Kirby

Fences can go on and on for miles
Surrounding whatever is on the other side
There are lines that you can’t cross
Rules you’d never break
Chances that you’re not suppose to take

When love has no bounds
It doesn’t care where love touches down
Got a mind of it’s own
When it wants to it’s gonna come around
Love has no bounds

Sometimes it’s out of reach and out of sight
Hidden like a shadow in the night
When everything seems lost
It softly calls your name
And nothing else will ever be the same

When love has no bounds
It doesn’t care where love touches down
Got a mind of it’s own
When it wants to it’s gonna come around
Love has no bounds

When love decides it finally wants to call on you
There is nothing you can do

When love has no bounds
Love doesn’t care where love touches down
Got a mind of it’s own
When it wants to it’s gonna come around
Love has no bounds

The Night I Can’t Remember
Tracie Lynn

Ten years ago today on a cold December morn
I woke up with a stranger lying in my arms
He was a vision sent from Heaven
But my heart was filled with pain
I did not know where he came from
I could not recall his name

Then he whispered in my ear
You’re every thing I thought you’d be
Then he wrapped his arms around
And kissed me tenderly
He said the night was filled with passion
But I cursed my very soul
The last thing I remembered was a shot of Cuero Gold

I’ll never forget the night I can’t remember
I woke up with an angel who said he loved me like a devil
Damn that tequila
Damn that bartender
I’ll never forget the night I can’t remember

The questions in my eyes
Filled his with tears
The sadness of that moment stayed with me for years
He said I thought that you were different from the other girls I’ve known
Then like a fool I sat upon that bed and watch him go

I’ll never forget the night I can’t remember
I woke up with an Angel who said he loved me like a devil
Damn that tequila
Damn that bartender
I’ll never forget the night I can’t remember

He might have been the one true love to call my very own
Every year I toast his memory with a shot of Cuero Gold

I’ll never forget the night I can’t remember
I woke up with an angel who said he loved me like a devil
Damn that tequila
Damn that bartender
I’ll never forget the night I can’t remember

Wish I Didn’t Want You Back
T. Lynn / G. Teren / W. Kirby

My heart strings must be like rubber bands
Try to break free but you keep pulling me back in
Now I’m thinking about giving you another chance
Swore I wouldn’t fall even if you called
Finally got my life on track
Thought I’d be strong
Maybe I was wrong
Wish I didn’t want you back

You play me just like a violin
Start out saying all you want to be is friends
I’d be crazy to let you in my life again
End up where I started sad and broken hearted
I’ve been there and I’ve done that
Dreaming about your kiss and the loving that I miss
I wish I didn’t want you back

Should I trust you, heck no
Will you hurt me, I expect so
It’s been that way from the get go
Why can’t I just face the facts?

End up where I started
Sad and broken hearted
I’ve been there and I’ve done that
Dreaming about your kiss and the loving that I miss
Wish I didn’t want you back
Thought I’d be strong maybe I was wrong
Wish I didn’t want you back

Mamas
Tracie Lynn

She’ll listen to my stories for hours on the end
When I’m feeling lonely she’ll be my closest friend
She laughs when I’m happy and she’ll cry when I’m sad
But don’t you ever cross me
It really makes her mad
And she’ll slip you that 20 when you’re down on luck and out of money
Daddy acts like he don’t see
That’s the way Mamas are
That’s the way Mamas are

She never gets the sleep she needs on a rowdy Friday nights
She’ll lay in bed for hours praying your alright
She’ll always cheer the loudest ~ She’s the proudest ~ Dreams the biggest
She’s always a believer in your style
She”ll have to fight those tears
When I stepped out on your own
But she’ll held you close to whisper
You can call collect to home
That’s the way Mamas are
That’s the way Mamas are

Br Somebody up there must like me
He blessed me with a love that is so hard to explain
And even in this madness somehow she stays sane
She always sees the rainbow thru the rain

V When you think you’ve done your worst and you’ll really disappoint her
You’re afraid to tell her you don’t like to see her cry
Then like a miracle from heaven like the sun that warms the day
She will throw her arms around you and tell you it’s ok
Where she tucks the pain away I’ll never understand
She might be a woman but she takes things like a man
That’s the way Mamas are
That’s the way Mamas are

That’s the way Mamas are
That’s the way Mamas are

Leave a Trail
Tracie Lynn

Buc Vickers…he left a trail in my heart.

Years ago I had a little dream
I’d write my songs and people would pay money to hear me sing
I was told go back home get a job and pay your rent
Well, I told that man you’re not the boss of me

On that day I rolled the dice
I knew the risk, I made the choice, this would be my life
All in all, I’d have to say the good outweighs the bad
So I focused on the future
And I outlawed looking back

I never travel down that road of least resistance
Long ago I made my stand
I had a vision
I would do what I choose
Only answer to myself
I will go where there is no road
And leave a trail

Sometimes money it gets a little tight
The price I pay for doing what’s in my heart and what feels right
It’s never easy when you’re deal with the twists and turns of fate
It’s a long hard road
But it’s the hard that makes it great

I never traveled down that road of least resistance
Long ago I made my stand
I had a vision
I would do what I choose
Only answer to myself
I will go where there is no road

I will not travel down that road of least resistance
Long ago I made my stand
I had a vision
I would do what I choose
Only answer to myself
I will go where there is no road
And leave a trail
Leave a trail ……………………….
