- I Just Wish You Were Someone I Loved - The title says it all.
- Houston (Means That I'm One Day Closer to You) - The guys' last Number 1 record.
- I Don't Wanna Cry - A man pleads for one last chance at love with his woman.
- Midnight Choir - An irreverent song about the homeless, wine and Jesus
- She Used to Somebody's Baby - A good foot stomper! One of my favorite Gatlin Bros. songs
- Night Time Magic - A crummy copy of a great song. My favorite Gatlin song.
