"Keep Your Distance" by Patty Loveless (Richard Thompson)

1st Verse

Oh, if I cross your path again
Who knows where or who knows when
On some mountain without number
On some highway without end
Don't grasp my hand and say
'Fate has brought you here today'
Oh, fate is only foolin' with us, friend

Chorus

Keep your distance
Keep your distance
Oh, when I feel you close to me
What can I do but fall
Keep your distance
Keep your distance
Oh, with us it must be all or none at all
(Oh, with us it must be all or none at all)

2nd Verse

Oh, it's a desperate game we play
Throw our souls, our lives, away
On wounds that can't be mended
And debts that can't be paid
Oh, I played, and I got stung
Now I'm biting back my tongue
And sweepin' out the footprints where I strayed

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Keep your distance (keep your distance, keep your distance)
Oh, keep your distance (keep your distance)



  "Nothin' But The Wheel" by Patty Loveless (John Scott Sherrill)

1st Verse

Way on past the boulevards
Out here underneath the stars
I've been flyin' past the houses, farms, and fields
Leaving all I know back there
Rushin' through the cold night air
And I'm holdin' on to nothin' but the wheel

2nd Verse

Staying clear of the Interstate
I'm seeking out those old two-lanes
Tryin' to explain the way I feel
'Til all at once it's half past three
And it's down to just the trucks and me
And I'm holdin' on to nothin' but the wheel

Bridge

I've been tryin' to drive you off of my mind
Maybe that way, baby
I can leave it all behind

3rd Verse

And forty-one goes on and on
And the lights go windin' in the dawn
And the sky's the color now of polished steel
And the only thing I know for sure
Is if you don't want me anymore
Then I'm holdin' on to nothin' but the wheel

Tag

And the only thing I know for sure
Is if you don't want me anymore
Then I'm holdin' on to nothin' but the wheel
I'm holdin' on to nothin' but the wheel



"That's The Kind Of Mood I'm In" by Patty Loveless (R. Giles/T. Nichols/G. Godard)

1st Verse

I tell you what, we're in a rut, we're in a deep rut
So habitual, predictable, I tell you what we oughta do
We oughta drive away, fly away, find a way to get away
We need a break from the same ol', same ol' nothin' new
Wanna go out on a limb, on a whim, yeah
That's the kind of mood I'm in

Chorus

Let's go somewhere, nowhere we've heard of
Hang the sign out, 'Do not disturb us'
Get a wakeup call about three p.m.
That's the kind of mood I'm in
A little shakeup, take the chain and rattle it
Try to catch the wind and saddle it
Fall in love all over again, yeah (over and over again)
That's the kind of mood I'm in

2nd Verse

I tell you this, I want a kiss, I want a long kiss
The kinda deep down, move the ground thing you used to do to me
I wanna dance a little, dream a little, baby, just live a little
Make my heart rate elevate, bring it up a few degrees
Get me gone with the wind, now and then, yeah
That's the kind of mood I'm in

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Any hemisphere, change of atmosphere
Get me outta here right now

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh, that's the kind of mood I'm in



"To Have You Back Again" by Patty Loveless (Annie Roboff/Arnie Roman)

1st Verse

Love, love's a chameleon
Makes one-in-a-million
Feel like too much of the same
But leave, leave it behind you
And love will remind you
It was only you that changed

Chorus

Oh, I'd give all my dreams
Give up my home and everything I've ever known
To have you back again, to have you back again
I'd stand in the rain, no place to hide
Drown in my shame, swallow my pride
To have you back again, to have you back again

2nd Verse

Time, time is a river
Flowing forever
Away from the sound of your heart
Only you can break this silence
Whisper forgiveness
Let me back into your arms

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

And I know I never loved you
Like you needed to be loved
But I know that I could learn to
If we both have faith enough

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

To have you, to have you, to have you back again
