listen video  "Band In The Window" by Pam Tillis (Lisa Brokop)

1st Verse

His name is Red and he plays the Tele
Broke it in twenty years ago
Sittin' in this same bar
Same hat, same boots, same everything

2nd Verse

Her name's Louise, (but) (and) not Mandrell
She's got '80's hair and fringe
All around her skirt
And she pours her heart out when she sings

Chorus

There's a band in the window
Down on Broadway
Where the streets are paved
With hopeful expectations
Take it, Johnny
Bring it home
(The) bus is leavin'
Gotta go
One more uptempo
Band in the window
(One more uptempo)
(Band in the window)

3rd Verse

(Well, now) Tommy's a drummer
He lives for the music
One shot of Cuervo, and he's ready to play
Nothin' else matters more
No shirt, no shoes, no job, no wife

4th Verse

And the sidewalks are full of bystanders and tourists
Wantin' a taste of the gypsy thing
Rockin' to the loud guitars
(Oh) Rebels in Chevys and neon signs

(Repeat Chorus)

5th Verse

Three nights ago we were downtown
Swear I saw a silhouette
Shimmerin' in the light
Out walkin' after midnight

6th Verse

(And) she went through the door and nobody else saw her
Followed a shadow there by the stage
Starin' up at Louise
Singin' every word to "Sweet Dreams"

(Repeat Chorus)



video  "I Said A Prayer" by Pam Tillis (Leslie Satcher)

1st Verse

Under the sun, under the moon
Under the sky midnight blue
Under the maple, under the roof
I got down on my knees and told the truth

I told Him I was tired of feeling lonely
And I could really use my one and only

Chorus

(Oh, oh) I said a prayer for you baby
And somehow it got through
Oh, oh I said a prayer for you baby
Now look at you
Wasn't God feeling good that day

Bridge

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I heard you get what you're praying for
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I got more, so much more
(She got more than she prayed for, she got more)

2nd Verse

Just down the street, just down the road
Walking along, how could you have known
It must have been strange that li'l burning in your soul
Sorry 'bout the lightning bolt

But I told Him I was tired of being lonely
And I could really use my one and only

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

I said a prayer for you


"We Must Be Thinking Alike" by Pam Tillis (Chris Farren/Chuck Jones)

1st Verse

So many nights we didn't fight but never talked much
We just lost touch
I think we knew our dream come true was slowly dying
No denying
Now comes the time we must decide to go or stay
To get it back somehow or throw it all away

Chorus

We must be thinking alike
(You never held me) (Holding each other) so tight
We must be finally doing something right
I'm not about to give in
This is a fight we can win (and) (baby) after all this time
We must be thinking alike (We must be thinking alike, Oh yeah)

2nd Verse

Let's just stay home
I'll get a pizza and a movie we both wanna see
And later on who knows what we'll find to agree on
It's been so long
Dim down the lights, turn off the phone and the TV
I can tell the way you're smiling back at me that

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)



listen video  "Maybe It Was Memphis" by Pam Tillis (Michael Anderson)

1st Verse

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydids sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullabye
Melody blowin' through a willow tree

Bridge

What was I s'pposed to do
Standin' there lookin' at you
Lonely boy, far from home

Chorus

Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis)
Maybe it was southern summer nights
(Southern summer nights)
Maybe it was you
Maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

2nd Verse

Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away

(Repeat Bridge)

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

3rd Verse

Every night now since I've been back home
Lie awake driftin' in the memory
Think about you on my momma's front porch swing
Talkin' that way, so soft to me

(Repeat Bridge)

(Chorus Out)



listen video  "Let That Pony Run" by Pam Tillis (Gretchen Peters)

1st Verse

Mary was married with children
Had the perfect suburban life
'Til her husband came clean
With the help of Jim Beam
And confessed all his sins one night
Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid
Said she made him feel reckless and young
And when he was through
What else could she do
She just let that pony run

Chorus

'Cause you do what you gotta do
And you know what you know
You hang on 'til you can't hang on
Then you learn to let go
And you get what you need sometimes
When it's all said and done
You do what you gotta do
(Then you let that pony run)
(Then you) let that pony run, oh oh

2nd Verse

Now, Mary moved to West Virginia
After the shock wore off
She got a divorce and a chestnut horse
And a barn with an ol' hayloft
And sometimes she rides down by the river
Said it makes her feel reckless and young
She just closes her eyes, and she holds on tight
And she lets that pony run

(Chorus Out)
