"Taking The Red-Eye Home" by Suzy Bogguss (Suzy Bogguss/Doug Crider)

1st Verse

Half empty airport, plane's at the gate
They tell her it's full, (but) she says she'll wait
She's been here all evenin', sittin' all alone
Watchin' the businessmen talk on the phone
She fixes her makeup, cleans out her purse
Leavin' is hard, but stayin' is worse
Just for a moment it crosses her mind
She could go back, no not this time, 'cause...

Chorus

It's almost midnight, and they just called her name
She's on that last flight, now nothin's the same
Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own
She's all through cryin' now she's flyin'
Takin' that red-eye home

2nd Verse

Sittin' in smokin', and she doesn't smoke
A travelin' salesman tells her a joke
She just stares out the window, as they're packin' that jet
Not quite sad, but she's not laughin' yet

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

It's just eleven fifty-four, but it's a new day
They're startin' to board, she's flyin' away

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

All through cryin', she's flyin'
Takin' that red-eye home



"It's A Perfect Day (For A Little Rain)" by Suzy Bogguss (Carolyn Dawn Johnson)

1st Verse

It's a perfect day for a little rain
The water's cryin' down my window pane
Just like a little girl, the thunder makes me feel afraid

The trees are dancin' in the gypsy wind
Guess they don't know yet that I lost my best friend
I can't believe I'll never hold you in my arms again

Bridge

I know we said that this was right
But how'm I supposed to make it
Through another lonely night

Chorus

When my heart just wants to hold onto you
And my heart just can't believe that this is true
Maybe I could convince my mind, but it's my heart, yeah heh

2nd Verse

It's only Saturday, and I feel so alone
We let go yesterday on the telephone
I guess it's time I learn to make it on my own

(Repeat Bridge)

(Repeat Chorus)

It's a perfect day for a little rain
I'm sure the sun will shine on another day, yeah heh

It's a perfect day for a little rain
It's a perfect day for a little rain



"Somebody To Love" by Suzy Bogguss (Suzy Bogguss/Doug Crider/Matraca Berg)

1st Verse

Your mascara's runnin' and your hair is a mess
And what have you spilled on your party dress
Sittin' in the kitchen all broken-hearted
Lookin' for comfort in an ice cream carton
But all you want, all you really want...

Chorus

Is somebody to love, you want somebody
Oh you got to be strong
It's not enough to want somebody
Just 'cause the night is long
You gotta be tough and hold out honey 'cause
What you really want is somebody to love

2nd Verse

I've been to all of the places you go to
I've danced the tango with Casanova
The wine and the roses are so continental
But the champagne's flat and the tux is a rental
All you want, all you really want...

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Yeah you want somebody
To tear the night apart
Someone to love you back now honey
That's a darn good start

Tag

You gotta be tough and hold out honey 'cause
What you really want is somebody to love
Somebody to love


"When I Run" by Suzy Bogguss (Skip Ewing)

1st Verse

When I see the way you look at love I feel so blind
'Cause I don't know how to give that much to you
And when I think of what it means to love forever
I get scared
That I won't be strong enough to see it through
And about that time I don't know what to do

Chorus

And when I run it's only 'cause I don't know how to stay
I don't know how to get my feelings out of my way
It's not you, (and) it's not fun
I know tryin' to hide is crazy
Walking out won't save me
My demons only chase me when I run

2nd Verse

In your arms I am sound and safe from my own harm
Or at least you always make me feel that way
It's only when I turn away from you that I get lost
My mind let's some old hurt get in the way
I stop listening to what my heart has to say

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

And how, tell me can I turn around
And face these feelings chasing after me
And why are there still so many things
You know about that I can't even see?

(Repeat Chorus)


"Take Me Back" by Suzy Bogguss with Garth Brooks (Julie Miller)

Chorus

Take me back, take me back, take me back to your heart
Can't you love me again like you did at the start?
There's a weight on my shoulders and I know I can't win
Take me back, take me back again

1st Verse

I would call you to plead but I don't have the nerve
'Cause the thing I need, I do not deserve
The way I was careless with your trust was a sin
Take me back, take me back again

Bridge

If my love was fire, it would burn this house down
With all of the lies that were told
But it's only a fever that burns me inside
From the longings of a broken down soul

2nd Verse

Now the winds blowing through and it's crying for me
'Cause it knows I was not what I wanted to be
And the sky must be sorry, 'cause it's starting to rain
Take me back, take me back again

(Repeat Bridge)

(Repeat Chorus)
