"One More Midnight" by Hal Ketchum (Hal Ketchum)

1st Verse

Twenty-seven truckstops
Santa Fe to Grapevine
Hollywood in my eyes
Sittin' on a suitcase
Waitin' on my next ride

2nd Verse

Ocean full'a diesel
Cloud'a cigarettes
Lonely ol' heart full'a 'ain't there yet'
Million little white lines in the rearview
All the comin'
All the goin'
And it all comes down to

Chorus

One more midnight
One more coffee in a paper cup
One more tread on my soul
One more sunset
One more sweet dream
Rockin' to the rhythm of the road
I got one more midnight to go

3rd Verse

Woke up last few
Hit me like a freight train
Had to get back to you
Nothin' but broke down
Beat up
Black and blue
Since you

4th Verse

Highways and byways and little two-lanes
Standin' all night in the Texas rain
Thirteen states with three time zones
All the missin'
All the wishin'
All I'm countin' on is

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Tag

One more midnight
One more midnight
One more midnight



  "In Front Of The Alamo" by Hal Ketchum featuring LeAnn Rimes (Gary Burr)

1st Verse

In front of the Alamo
In the fading light of the Texas day
San Antonio
Through the windshield of a Chevrolet
With the front tires pointed out of town
She sighs and rolls the window down
Counts to three and throws that wedding band

Chorus

In front of the Alamo
That's a pretty good place to make a stand

2nd Verse

In front of the Alamo
Where the cameras click and the tourists stare
A long, long time ago
She met the man in question there
She wanted trust, she wanted truth
The two things he found hard to do
So forever was shorter than she planned

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

She didn't come for inspiration
Or to breathe the mighty dust of heroes lost
She just felt the time was right
At this random traffic light
To say, 'Enough is enough' and move on

3rd Verse

In front of the Alamo
In the fading light of the Texas day
San Antonio
Through the windshield of a Chevrolet
Maybe something in the air
Makes the timid braver there
To cross the line that they've drawn in the sand

Tag Chorus

In front of the Alamo
They held on, she lets go
In front of the Alamo
That's a pretty good place to make a stand
