Album Analysis:
"ANY WAY YOU ARE is 30 minutes of easy listening, well written country songs that have a unique, warm, smooth, full bodied sound. A particular interesting piece is the integrated rhythm of "Dancing to the Concertina", a rare multi-functional dance song you can literally jitterbug, line dance, macarena, polka, two step or free style to."

"AND THE POWER IS" (2003)

GOT A SITUATION,
YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
AND MY OCCUPATION IS
JUST TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
AND KNOCK YOU AROUND

AND THE POWER IS GONNA DO IT AGAIN
CUZ MY APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
IS NEVER GONNA END,
NO IT'S NEVER GONNA END...

GOT A REPUTATION,
GONNA PROVE IT TODAY
AND MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS
TO GET OUT OF MY WAY
GET OUT OF MY WAY CUZ-
-CHORUS-

"ANY WAY YOU ARE" (1988)

NOW I'M JUST AN ORDINARY MAN
WITH NOT A LOT TO SAY
BUT IF I COULD SAY
WHAT I WANT TO YOU
I'D SAY EVERYTHING THAT YOU'D WANT TO HEAR
AND I WOULD START BY SAYING THESE WORDS "I'LL LOVE YOU-

"ANY WAY YOU ARE, ANY WAY YOU ARE
I'LL LOVE YOU"

NOW I'M PROBABLY NOT YOUR DREAM I'M JUST ME
BUT IF I COULD BE WHAT I WANTED FOR YOU
I'D BE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'D WANT TO SEE
AND I WOULD OFFER YOU MORE THAN I AM
JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY TO ME-

"WHERE DID THE TIME GO?" (1990)

WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
SINCE WE FIRST KISSED
YOU'VE MADE ME FEEL
ALL THE LOVE
THAT I HAD MISSED

WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
FULFILLED HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND DREAMS
SINCE YOU SHARED YOUR LOVE WITH ME
AND WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
MY DAYS AND NIGHTS HAVE ALL BEEN FILLED
WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU
THAT'S WHERE MY TIME GOES
THAT'S WHERE THE TIME GOES

HAS IT BEEN THAT MUCH TIME?
I CAN REMEMBER
HOLDING YOU TIGHT THOSE NIGHTS IN DECEMBER
AND IT STILL SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
AND IT STILL FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY

WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
FULFILLED HAVE BEEN A THOUSAND DREAMS
SINCE YOU SHARED YOUR LOVE WITH ME
AND WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
WHERE DID THE TIME GO?
MY DAYS AND NIGHTS HAVE ALL BEEN FILLED
WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU
THAT'S WHERE MY TIME GOES
THAT'S WHERE THE TIME GOES

"YOU'RE WHAT I NEED" (1989)

I WANT YA BABY
OH DARLIN' CAN'T YOU SEE
YOU'RE WHAT I NEED
SO DARLIN' STAY WITH ME

YOU'RE THE SUNLIGHT
OF MY MORNING
AND THE SUNSHINE
OF MY DAY
YOU'RE WHAT I NEED
SO DARLIN' STAY WITH ME

NOW I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO
SINCE I'VE BEEN
AWAY FROM YOU
YOU'RE WHAT I NEED
SO DARLIN' STAY WITH ME

"MAKE MY HEART A HOME" (1991)

IT'S SO HARD LIVING ALONE
WITH NO ONE TO CARE FOR
AND NO ONE TO LEAN ON
BUT I KNOW ONE DAY
SOMEONE WILL BE MINE
AND I WILL BE SOMEONE
TO THE ONE I FIND

AND ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS WAIT UNTIL THAT DAY
WHEN SHE WILL COME MY WAY
AND MAKE MY HEART A HOME

YES I KNOW ONE DAY
SOMEONE WILL BE MINE
AND I WILL BE SOMEONE
TO THE ONE I FIND

IT SEEMS UNREAL
PONDERING THE THOUGHT
FOR WHEREVER SHE IS
IS PROBABLY WHERE I'M NOT
BUT I KNOW IN TIME
OUR PATHS WILL MEET HEAD ON
AND THEN OUR SEPARATE WAYS
WILL BECOME AS ONE

AND ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS WAIT UNTIL THAT DAY
WHEN SHE WILL COME MY WAY
AND MAKE MY HEART A HOME

"DON'T GO" (1991)

NOW I WAS WRONG, OH YES I KNOW
SO DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE LEAVING,
DON'T GO NOW
I MADE MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY,
BUT IF I PROMISE TO CHANGE THEM,
WILL YOU STAY AROUND?

I SAID A MILLION THINGS THAT I DIDN'T MEAN
I NEED YOU BY MY SIDE TO MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE
SO IF YOU'D PLEASE COME BACK, I PROMISE I WILL TRY
I WANT TO MAKE YOU LAUGH,
DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE YOU SAY GOODBYE.

NOW I DID YOU WRONG, OH YES I KNOW
BUT I PROMISE I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU
SO DON'T GO NOW
I MADE MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY,
BUT IF I PROMISE TO CHANGE THEM,
WILL YOU STAY AROUND?
-CHORUS-

"NO ONE THERE TO LISTEN" (1990)

SOMETIMES
WHEN THE WORLD IS ON YOUR SHOULDERS
AND SOMETIMES
WHEN YOUR HEART IS GROWING COLDER

YOU JUST POUR YOUR POOR HEART OUT IN A SONG
'CUZ NOTHING DOES YOU BETTER
WHEN NO ONE'S THERE TO LISTEN

SOMETIMES
WHEN IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE CARES
AND SOMETIMES
WHEN NO ONE KNOWS YOU'RE THERE
-CHORUS-

"DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA" (1985)

LONG AGO WHEN ROCK AND ROLL WASN'T AROUND
YOUR GRANDMA AND GRANDPAPA STILL LIKED TO GET ON DOWN
YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS SO DIFFERENT THEN
BUT NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED

THEY WENT DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA
ROMANCING,
IT WAS A LOVE ARENA AND ANYWHERE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE
THEY WENT DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA
ROMANCING,
IT WAS A LOVE ARENA JUST LIKE, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME

THEY MIGHT LEAD YA TO BELIEVE
THAT THEY WERE GOOD LITTLE KIDS
WELL, I WISH I COULD GO BACK AND SEE
JUST WHAT THEY DID
YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS INNOCENT THEN
BUT NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED
-CHORUS-

"NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK" (1994)

MAMA SAID, "THERE'S A LID FOR EVERY KETTLE."
I NEVER FOUND ONE THAT EVEN FIT A LITTLE.
I FELT LIKE A SHINER, HUNTING WITH A ONE EYED DOG.
WELL, AS SOON AS I QUIT LOOKING FOR A MEDAL,
DOWN FELL MY PRETTY ROSE PETAL.
IT TOOK SO LONG JUST TO SOLVE MY RIDDLE BUT

YOU WERE THE NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK.
HOW IN THE WORLD DID I FIND
SUCH A TREASURE (WOMAN) LIKE YOU?
YOU, YOU'RE THE NEEDLE IN THE HAYSTACK.
IT WAS WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE IN MY LIFE,
JUST TO FIND YOU.

YA BETCHA NOW THERE'S A KETTLE WITH A COVER.
I'LL NEVER HAVE A NEED TO FIND ANOTHER,
'CUZ THIS ONE'S COVERING ME
AS TIGHT AND WELL AS IT CAN BE.
WELL, AS SOON AS I QUIT LOOKING FOR A MEDAL,
THERE WAS MY PRETTY ROSE PETAL.
IT TOOK SO LONG JUST TO SOLVE MY RIDDLE BUT
-chorus-

"BROKEN PROMISES" (1992)

I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "I'M LEAVIN'"
I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "GOODBYE."
I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "IT'S OVER FOREVER,
AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN CHANGE MY MIND."

WELL IF THERE WAS ONE THING I REALLY BELIEVED IN,
AND YET IT WAS THE ONE THING THAT I COULDN'T CHANGE.
IF THERE WAS ONE THING THAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER,
IT'S THE BROKEN PROMISES, ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES,
ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES THAT WE MADE.

I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY, "I MISS YOU."
I WANNA BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY, "I CARE."
I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY,
"I'M ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU."
BUT WHEN I WAKE UP, NOBODY'S THERE.
-chorus-
