    1. She Don't Know (Vince Gill)

      Only a memory this morning
      My baby up and walked away
      In my heart the tears keep pouring
      She left with so much more to say

      Chorus:
      She don't know whose heart she's breaking
      She don't know my dream lies still
      She don't know how much she's taking
      She don't know and never will

      I can't sleep, I've gotta find her
      I've got to make her understand
      Although another love may bind her
      No one can love her like I can

      Chorus x 2

      She don't know (she don't know)
      She don't know (she don't know)
      She don't know (she don't know)


    2. With You (Vince Gill)
      8/22/84.

      I can just see us now
      You and me paintin' the town
      Forever just foolin' around
      With you

      Just think of the things we'd do
      Baby just me and you
      My heart can finally be true
      With you

      Chorus:
      With you
      And you with me
      Is all that I can see
      It ain't no mystery
      I long to always be
      With you
      With you
      I wanna be with you

      I see you in every dream
      Girl in my eyes you're queen
      My happiness you could bring
      With you

      So what are you waitin' on
      Just say the word and we're gone
      I'll be right where I belong
      With you

      Chorus

      Oh, darlin'
      I'm so in love with you
      I'll keep on callin'
      'Til you make my dream come true

      I can just see us now
      You and me paintin' the town
      Forever just foolin' around
      With you

      Just you
      Just you and me, baby
      I wanna be with you
      Just you, baby
      I wanna be with just you
      I wanna be
      I wanna be
      I wanna be with you, baby
      I wanna be with you
      Just you and me, baby


    3. Savannah (Vince Gill)

      Do you ever think of me
      When you lay your head down
      Do you ever think of me
      When he ain't around

      Do you ever wonder why
      Our love couldn't be
      Ever since you said goodbye
      Do you ever think of me

      Chorus:
      Savannah
      The memory just won't fade
      Savannah
      I sure wish you'd stayed with me
      Savannah

      Do you ever see my face
      In your new lover's eyes
      Has my memory been erased
      Am I out of your life

      I still remember our first night
      We made love so tenderly
      So when he doesn't hold you right
      Do you ever think of me

      Chorus

      If he ever lets you down
      Happiness just can't be found
      I'll still be here hangin' 'round
      Savannah

      Savannah
      (Do you ever think of me)
      ... repeat to fade


    4. Colder Than Winter (Vince Gill)
      8/24/84.

      It's colder than winter
      Right here in my heart
      Lord I'm gonna miss her
      She's torn me apart

      I couldn't make you love me
      I couldn't give any more
      It's colder than winter
      Since you closed the door

      It's colder than winter
      I'm freezing inside
      And my tears won't be bitter
      Even though our love died

      I couldn't make you love me
      I couldn't give any more
      It's colder than winter
      Since you closed the door

      Every time the sun sets
      I shed another tear
      And the lonelier I get
      Wishing you were still here

      I couldn't make you love me
      I couldn't give any more
      It's colder than winter
      Since you closed the door


    5. True Love (Vince Gill)
      8/22/84.

      Is today my lucky day
      Are you gonna look my way
      And see true love

      If you're not sure he holds your heart
      Don't let pride keep us apart
      You need true love

      Chorus:
      True love is all I'm after
      I long to hear your laughter
      The only thing that matters
      Is it's true love
      It's true love

      I hear your voice in every sound
      You're never there when I turn around
      I need true love

      I can't quit and I won't give in
      Until you're back in my arms again
      We need true love

      Chorus

      When I look at you You look right through me
      I wish you knew
      What your love's done to me

      Is today my lucky day
      Are you gonna look my way
      And see true love

      Yeah...

      Chorus

      It's true love (repeat to fade)


    6. If It Weren't For Him (with Rosanne Cash) (Vince Gill/Rosanne Cash)

      Vince:
      If she only knew what I was thinking
      If she only knew what was in head
      Why can't she see my heart is breaking
      She'd be mine if weren't for him

      So many times I've dreamed I had her
      I've called her name when I lay down
      Still I can't learn to live without her
      A jealous heart is all I've found

      Chorus (both):
      I see your face but you're not next to me
      And I won't take what you can't give to me
      This lonely place is all I hope to find
      If it weren't for him then you'd be mine

      Rosanne:
      If he only knew what I was thinking
      If he only knew what was in my head
      Why can't he see my heart is breaking
      He'd be mine if it weren't for him

      Vince:
      You'd be mine if it weren't for him


    7. Ain't It Always That Way (Dave Loggins)
      8/23/84.

      I took chance, I took a fall
      Waited on love 'til I could give it my all
      Then I let my heart fly

      Took a rose to her door
      Stood there like a statue just sort of frozen by her presence
      But I shyed (not sure of this line...)

      Chorus:
      Ain't it always that way
      When you want to believe
      Ain't it always that way
      When you want and you need
      Ain't it always that way
      When you want to rely
      Ain't it always that way
      When you want and you need and you cry

      Yes and then I took a space out of time
      I don't wanna sound like a thief but the moment was mine
      And I stole it, it felt right

      I took a chance, took a fall
      Waited on love until I could give it my all
      Then I let my heart fly

      Chorus

      Ain't it always that way
      When you want to believe
      Ain't it always that way
      When you want and you need and you cry


    8. Oklahoma Borderline (Guy Clark/Rodney Crowel/Vince Gill)
      8/24/84.

      Well it's rainin' down in Houston
      And I got holes in both my shoes
      Baby's put me on the street
      She says "I'm through with you"

      She thinks I'm gonna miss her
      Someone tell her that she's wrong
      I'm goin' back to Oklahoma, boys
      'Cause that's where I belong

      Chorus:
      I need one good ride
      I'll be satisfied
      Come on Oklahoma borderline
      If we roll all night
      She'll be comin' into sight
      Come on Oklahoma borderline

      Well now I don't need no Texas girl
      Doggin' me around
      I may be a Okie, son
      But I've still been to town

      Well those Oklahoma city girls
      They always treat you right
      Well tell mama and them I'm comin' home
      And I'm leavin' out tonight

      Chorus

      So with two bucks in my pocket
      And my thumb stuck in the wind
      When I cross Red River, boys
      I won't be back again

      Give me old back roads and truck stops
      And 18 wheels that whine
      And some good ol' boy to take me
      To that Oklahoma line

      Chorus

      I caught one good ride
      She's comin' into sight
      Hello Oklahoma borderline
