"Half Of My Mistakes" by Radney Foster (Radney Foster/Robert Houck)
1st Verse
Half of my mistakes I made
Stone cold sober
Half of my mistakes
I made at closin' time
Half the time I never saw it comin'
'Til it was over
Oh, half of my mistakes
I've made with love on the line
2nd Verse
Half of my mistakes
I swear I should'a known better
Half of my mistakes
Were just amongst friends
You get a little distance on it
The truth is clearer
Oh, half of my mistakes
I'd probably make 'em again
Chorus
And if I had it all to do over
Sure I'd win and lose just as much
But spend less time on right and wrong
And a lot more time on love
3rd Verse
Half of my mistakes I made
'Cause I was movin' too quickly
Half of 'em were made
'Cause my heart was movin' too slow
Nobody can tell you a damn thing
If you ain't a'list'nin'
Oh, half of my mistakes I've made
'Cause I couldn't let go (let it go)
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag
Half of my mistakes
I'd give anything to change how it ended
Half of my mistakes
God, I wouldn't change a thing
You can lean too hard on a thread
But I don't recommend it
'Cause half the good things in my life
Came from half my mistakes
Yeah, a lotta good things in my life
Came from half my mistakes
"Nobody Wins" by Radney Foster (Radney Foster/Kim Richey)
1st Verse
You say this ain't over yet
I've said things that I'll regret
It won't be easy to forget
Scars take time to heal
Before another bitter word gets loose
I was hopin' we could call a truce, 'cause
Chorus
Nobody wins
We both lose
Hearts get broken, and love gets bruised
When we light that same ol' fuse
Again and again
Nobody wins
Slammin' doors
We've both lost this fight before
And I won't play this game no more
'Cause nobody wins
2nd Verse
Darlin', we got too much pride
It don't matter who's wrong or right
Honey, love ain't black and white
It's the way I feel about you
All I wanna do is hold you tight
I can't take another angry night, when
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
I know somethin's bound to break if we don't bend
Baby, what's it gonna take
(Chorus Out)
"Last Chance For Love" by Radney Foster (Radney Foster)
1st Verse
Findin' a true believer, baby
Has never been an easy thing
Openin' up your heart's so risky
And it just might involve some pain
But people run those yellow lights all the time
With just a second or two to spare
Ain't no guarantees 'bout what we'll find
You gotta make a stand somewhere
Chorus
(At) (On) (Baby, it's ) the last chance Texaco
The last oasis where love can grow
We either cross this border or run back to Mexico
It's the moment of calm in the eye 'a the storm
The moment 'a truth when you give 'em what for
Baby, this is the last chance
Baby, this is the last chance for love
2nd Verse
Love's got a sly way of actin', darlin'
You never know what it'll do
Heal ya, hurt ya, cure ya, or curse ya
And you dont know which 'til it's through
So guess it comes down to that leap of faith
Girl, I got my jumpin' shoes on
We can't tell the world to put on the brakes
So please don't let the sun go down
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Tag
Ya, it's the last chance for love
Yeah
Come on, baby
I love you so much, darlin'
"Making It Up As I Go Along" by Radney Foster (Radney Foster)
1st Verse
There are nights I've owned this town
Most nights it owns me
Play my guitar 'til it draws blood
And it still won't let me be
People think ya know what you're talkin' about
All because you wrote some song
I ain't no smarter than the rest of these clowns
I'm just makin' it up as I go along
2nd Verse
I had dreams at twenty one
I traded for a car
The car is gone, and the dreams are, too
But I've still got your heart
You always saw right through the smoke and mirrors
Nothin' fooled you for long
You know the wizard's just a man behind the curtain
Shiftin' gears
Still makin' it up as I go along
Bridge
I've worn this mask before
'Til I don't know who I am
I love the cards life's dealt me
But I sure don't know how to play out my hand
3rd Verse
There are nights I've owned your love
Most nights it owns me
There are nights I've tried to escape it
And it still won't let me be
People think ya know what true love's about
All because you wrote some song
There's more to love than just 'a writin' it down
We'll make it all up as we go along
Girl, we're makin' it up as we go along
Yeah, I'm makin' it up as I go along

Makin' it up
