1. NICK OF TIME

A friend of mine she cries at night, and she
Calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes and she
Wants one of her own.
She's waited long enough she says
And still she can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside
She's scared, scared she'll run out of time.


I see my folks, they're getting old, I watch their bodies Change
I know they see the same in me, And it makes us both feel Strange
No matter how you tell yourself, It's what we all go through
Those lines are pretty hard to take when they're staring' Back at you
Scared you'll run out of time.

When did the choices get so hard?
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste
Hummmm, Scared she'll run out of time.

Just when I thought I'd had enough
All my tears were shed
No promise left unbroken,
There were no painful words unsaid
You came along and showed me
How to leave it all behind
You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise.

I found love, Love in the Nick of Time.


2. ROAD'S MY MIDDLE NAME

I told you once the day we met
I wouldn't be your queen.
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just what my routine
You've been around enough to know
There's really no one else
When I hear that siren call, baby
I just can't help myself.

I gotta go
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man.

I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby,
'Cause the road's my middle name.

Well, it's hard enough to love someone
When they're right close to home
Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
To squeeze the sugar from the phone.

Guess the road is in my blood
'Cause I'm my daddy's kid
Just have to learn how to let me go
Just like my momma did.

I gotta go,
I hope you'll understand
Oh, I love you so
Want you to be my man.

I hear it callin', baby
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'Cause the road's my middle name.

Here it come
And it sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'Cause the road's my middle name
I gotta go
'Cause the road's my middle name
Oooh, I gotta go, darlin'
'Cause the road's my middle name.


3. I AIN'T GONNA LET YOU BREAK MY HEART AGAIN

There ain't no use in me trying to tell you how I feel
'Cause what I feel ain't what you're feeling
I don't know what we did wrong
I just know if you come home
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again.

There ain't no use in me trying to find out where you've Been
Where you've been ain't where I'm going
'Cause if I ask you where you've been
The hurting starts and it don't end
So I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no no.

Tears don't become me
Pain ain't my friend
It seems like you enjoy my crying , baby
You always said that I was strong
But I believe that you were wrong
Lately , God knows , I have been trying.

There ain't no use in you trying to kiss away the hurt , Baby
'Cause it hurts where it's deep down inside of me and it's Hiding
If you decide you're coming home
You walk in , it won't be like before
'Cause I ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no
Ain't gonna let you break my heart again , no no.
