"Little Rock": Gerry House, big time radio guy and my good buddy, co-wrote this song with Pat McManus and Bob DiPiero. I love the up-tempo feel of it and it's still a song I do in my concerts. And of course I figured if I cut one of Gerry's songs, I'd get even more airplay out of him!

"What Am I Gonna Do About You": This is such a wonderful song and can be interpreted in several different ways. My take on it was the woman had lost her husband and just couldn't seem to get past the sadness of that to move forward in her life.


It was a great video to get to make, and I really appreciate David Keith taking the time to be a part of the video. He had been in Europe promoting a movie and flew back to be on hand to begin filming first thing the next morning. He made the video even more special!

"One Promise Too Late": I think this is a song many people can relate to. Where were you when I could have fallen in love with you? Why didn't we meet then? And now here you are, but I've already made a vow. It's a really beautiful melody and great lyrics.

"The Last One To Know": I call that my divorce song. I remember we were shooting the music video in Dallas, and at that point, my first marriage was pretty much over. It was a very hard and sad time in my life with everything going wrong in my marriage. I don't like to hurt people and that divorce was very hurtful. That song represents a really sad time in my life.

"Love Will Find Its Way To You": This one is just hands down a really great and fun song to perform live.

"I Know How He Feels": I always look for a great melody and this one has it.

It was also significant to me because this was the first music video that Narvel produced. We shot it at Starwood Amphitheatre in Nashville.

"New Fool At An Old Game": This is one of those songs that men and women can both relate to. They might have been hurt before and they want to move really slow getting back into the game of love. They enter the relationship with optimism, hoping this time it'll be different.

"Cathy's Clown": I have always loved the Everly Brothers. I remember Pake, Alice and me singing their song "Wake Up Little Susie" to our baby sister, Susie. I always thought "Cathy's Clown" would be a great song to do from a different perspective. And for me, shooting the music video was a lot of fun because I got to play the part of Miss Kitty, just like the old western TV show. Bruce Boxlightner played Sheriff Matt Dillon and some of the cowboy stars I loved as a child were the cowboys in the saloon. Red Steagall, who gave me my start in the music business, produced the video. We had a great time shooting it on the Warner Brother's lot in Los Angeles. Jim Hammon, who we lost in the 1991 plane crash, played the bartender so this video will always be the most special and the most treasured.

"Walk On": This song says it all. If something bad happens to you, just pick yourself up and move on ahead. You can't believe the letters I've received from people saying how much this song has helped them in their everyday life. Music is so healing.

"You Lie": Vocally, this is one of the most challenging songs I have ever recorded, but I couldn't resist trying it. Trisha Yearwood did a great job of singing it at the ACM's a few years ago during a tribute segment to me the awards show produced. Thanks, Trisha! The video was fun to shoot. It brought back a lot of great memories because I got to ride a beautiful horse across the pasture, just like old times back in Oklahoma!

"Rumor Has It": This song has it all. It's one of those gut wrenching country songs that I love so much. Lyrically, it's very intriguing because the woman in the song knows something's going on behind her back, but it's based on rumor - which can many times be worse than actually knowing. It's the not knowing for sure that causes the pain.
