Time for another 10 pack of favorite country songs that were never released as singles. In each post, I have provided the song title followed by the recording artist, the songwriters (in parenthesis), part of the lyric, the album title, year of release and maybe a comment.
"She's Still in Dallas" - Hal Ketchum (Hal Ketchum) from his 2001 album "Lucky Man". An up-tempo song solely written by Hal.
"I'm Still in Love, She's still in Dallas
Is she ever coming back to me
I'm still in love, She's still in Dallas
She's Long Gone, I'm all alone, and sad as I can Be
Well she went to spend a week back home
Said her heart was broken
Said she needed time alone
to think about it all
now a week has come and gone
still no word's been spoken
puts her mama on the phone
every time i call"
"Whose Baby Will You Be Tonight" - Big House (Monty Byrom, Scott Hutchison & David Neuhauser) from their 1997 album "Big House". Saw them at the WTC.
Cause' I don't believe that you're alone,
I'm calling you on the other line
Tell me whose baby will you be tonight.
I've been hearing things that I don't want to,
Whispering in my ears,
You're telling me everything it's alright,
But tell me whose baby will you be tonight.
"They Don't Grow Enough Roses" - Blaine Larsen (Tim Johnson & Clint Daniels) from his 2006 album "Rockin'You Tonight" .
"Did you really think she'd let you in with that bouquet
Welcome you with open arms and say, it's okay
Well, them long stemmed apologies won't work no more
Cause she can't see the beauty just a hand full of thorns
And they don't grow enough roses to undo the damage done
Clouds don't make enough raindrops
And it's too much to expect from the sun
You can shower her in petals but it won't change the fact
They don't grow enough roses to get your woman back"
"Country Ain't Never Been Pretty" - Cam (Camaron Ochs & Anders Mouridsen) from her 2015 album "Untamed"
And putting out the hits
But those boots sure never stepped in horseshit
So thank God she lives in the city
'Cause country ain't never been pretty."
"From There to Here" - Lonestar with Randy Owen (Don Pfrimmer, Ron Harbin & Richie McDonald) from their 2004 album, "Let's Be Us Again". A duet by Richie McDonald & Randy Owen.
[Verse 1]
Brothers Wilber and Orville Wright
Built wings out of wood and steel
Folks said that thing'll never fly
They said watch, bet it will
We've been dyfyin' gravity now goin' on a hundred years
It was paper wings, faith and dreams
That's how we got from there to here
[Verse 2]
A nickel brought a soda pop way back then
And a movie only cost a dime
He came home with a scar and a purple heart
She waited all that time
Today they'll cut a golden wedding cake
How'd they made it all those years
It had to be tough, they just said it was love
That's how they got from there to here
[Chorus]
You either do or you don't believe
That it can or can't be done
An ounce of faith and a touch of grace
And it can happen to anyone
"I've Got Time" - Kree Harrison (Kree Harrison, Brett Tyler, Chase McGill & Eric Snyder) from her 2016 album "This Old Thing"
Baby, if you're feeling, feelin' tired
Oh, of the same old, same old
Baby, I know what you mean
I don't mind waiting on ya'
But I can tell you, no there ain't no
Ain't no need
Whatever you wanna do
Yeah, I've got time-ooo for loving you"
"Save a Prayer" - Mavericks (Raul Malo) from their 1998 album Trampoline
When everything I ever loved would all be swept away
By the moonlit tides that never made a difference to me
No you better save a prayer for me
And show me that somebody out there really cares
Someday you're gonna wish that you had walked this way with me
Now you better save a prayer for me"
"Getting Even with the Blues" - Terri Clark (Terri Clark, Tom Shapiro & Chris Waters) - 4:00 from her 1999 album "How I Feel"
"That lonely feelings had it's way
Ever since the day I heard you say goodbye
The hurting thinks its found a home
But I'm gonna let it know it ain't welcome here tonight
And there won't be anything that I can do
But tonight I'm getting even with the blues"
"How You Play the Hand" - Radney Foster (Pete Smith & Radney Foster) from his 2001 album, "Are You Ready for the Big Show?"
"I know that it's true sometimes life's hard
It's touch or it's go at the turn of the heart
Somehow love survives the only way it can
Well, it's not the cards we're dealt, it's how you play the hand
Darlin', each day turned in to each year
We've held each other through hopes and through fears
Every turn life takes me near the best of that we can
I'm still in love with you and how you play the hand
"Double Heart" - The Band Perry (Brett Beavers & the BP Trio) from their 2010 debut album The Band Perry, an up-tempo rocker that moves along at an almost frantic pace.
"A new tattoo whistling Dixie
Two little hearts ain't gonna get me
I'm not looking for a permanent thing
So don't you put ink 'til I take the ring
Burn burn baby
I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories
You should have slowed down mister
Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me
Well now it's zero to sixty
And if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm
Don't you cry, I'll leave you something behind
Skid marks and a, skid marks and a
Skid marks and a double heart
Well, I'm a free bird"
