Highway 101 is an American country music band founded by Paulette Carlson (lead vocals), Jack Daniels (guitar), Curtis Stone (bass guitar, mandolin) and Scott "Cactus" Moser (drums). With Carlson as lead vocalist, the band recorded three albums for Warner Bros. Records Nashville and charted ten consecutive Top Ten hits on the Hot Country Songs charts, four of which went to Number One. After Carlson left in 1990, the band recorded a fourth album for Warner with Nikki Nelson on lead vocals before exiting the label. One album each followed on Liberty, Intersound and Free Falls Records. Moser, Stone, Nelson and Andy Gurley comprise the current lineup.
Before the band's foundation, Carlson recorded on RCA Records as a solo singer. She made three appearances on the Hot Country Songs charts in that timespan; her singles "You Gotta Get to My Heart (Before You Lay a Hand on Me)," "I'd Say Yes" and "Can You Fool" respectively reached #65, #67 and #72. Carlson founded Highway 101 in 1986 in Los Angeles, California, with guitarist Jack Daniels, bassist Curtis Stone (son of singer Cliffie Stone) and drummer Scott "Cactus" Moser, all three of whom were session musicians. Stone and Moser (and Cliffie Stone) appeared in the 1986 film Back To School as members of a bar band.

I heard he's with someone new
Wish her luck cause she'll need it fore she's through
That man's nothin' but a crash course in the blues
But some girls gotta learn the hard way
Well he'll disappear till you think he must be dead
Then he'll sweet talk his way back into your bed
Lose all your money on his inside bets burn up your sofa with his cigarettes
But he's someone else's trouble now somebody else's to worry about
Lord knows I loved him the best way I knew how
But he's someone else's trouble now yes he's someone else's trouble now
She won't believe how that man can lie
Looking back now I laugh at his wild alibies
But there was nothin' funny bout it at the time
Still I thought I could not live without him
But he's someone else's trouble...
With mixed emotions I set him free
Cause every now and then he was as sweet as he could be
Can't help but think about him when the nights are long
Sometimes I miss him but I'm so glad he's gone
[ steel - guitar ]
Somewhere tonight he's a live wire he's got his sights on someone new
Somewhere tonight he's a high flyer and I'm so lonesome I don't know what to do
I bet he's out there shinin' like a diamond don't you know
Turnin' heads and breakin' hearts and puttin' on a show
Rollin' like a summer storm driftin' with the wind
And I just wish he'd blow my way again
Somewhere tonight...
[ guitar - steel ]
I've read that goodbye letter at least a thousand times
He said I was the only one who almost changed his mind
But better homes and garden parties weren't his cup of tea
Somewhere tonight he's running wild and free
Somewhere tonight...
Are You Still Mine
Paulette Tenae Carson
Darlin' what did she say when you were alone
All week long you've been actin' strange
Talkin' to her on the phone
Has she gotten' through to you
Got you believin' I'm no good
What did she say or do
To make you act so cruel
Tell me according to her do I cheat, do I lie
And do you believe her
Even some of the time
And the love you've given to me
Is it still mine to keep
Or has she taken that too
Along with your sanity
My darlin' don't you still love me
Or have all the words she said
Changed your mind
Have you been so misled
Has she gotten you in her bed
Oh my darlin' are you still mine
Tell me what will we do
When she's had her fun
When she's stolen our love away
And it's gone like a thief on the run
And when it's too far gone
To ever get it back
What will you say or do
To ease the loss we've had
My darlin' don't you still love me
Or have all the words she said
Changed your mind
Have you been so misled
Has she gotten you in her bed
Oh my darlin' are you still mine
If you see me in some corner looking like all hope is gone
If you see me sit for hours and you wonder what is wrong
Well, it hurts to talk about it but my world just fell apart
I'm a walkin', talkin', cryin', barely beatin' broken heart
Did you see the teardrops fallin' and the tremble in my hands
Then you'll know that there's a story and nobody understands
It's a sad and lonely story but I'll try to make it short
I'm a walkin', talkin', cryin', barely beatin' broken heart
Should you wonder how I got this way then listen, listen good
He left me for another, thought he'd be the last who would
So I'm tryin' to forget him, lookin' for a place to start
I'm a walkin', talkin', cryin', barely beatin' broken heart
You may wonder how I got this way then listen, listen good
He left me for another, thought he'd be the last who would
So I'm tryin' to forget him, lookin' for a place to start
Six or seven hours ago
Seemed the only thing to do
Was head out on the open road
And find anywhere else I wouldn't find you
Through the window of the room
He's told me a million times he's sorry
I always take him back though soon I know
He'll spend the night with you and leave me crying
You don't love him but you won't let him go
Oh whiskey if you were a woman
I'd fight you and I'd win Lord knows I would
Oh whiskey if you were a woman
I'd drive you from his tangled mind for good
[Guitar]
No matter what you'd do I'd do it better
You'd never be the woman I could be
But you don't have a heart or any feelings
So I can't even ask for sympathy
Oh whiskey if you were a woman
I'd fight you and I'd win
Lord knows I would
Oh Oh whiskey
If you were a women
I'd drive you from his tangled mind for good
Oh Oh whiskey
If you were a women
You walked out on a good love and you found somebody new
And now the one that turned your head is turning her back on you
Who's lonely now who's heart is hurtin' I've had my share of those blues
Who's lonely now who's head is reeling you're finally feeling it too
Now you need a little sympathy you never should've walked out on me
Who's lonely now
I feel a whole lot better I got a new attitude
So you can take my crying towel and carry it home with you
Who's lonely now who's heart is hurtin'...
When your rejected you feel neglected it's true
In your condition you need attention and you know I'd like to help
But I'm seeing someone else who's lonely now
[ guitar ]
Now you know I'd like to help but I'm seeing someone else
Who's lonely now who's heart is hurtin'...
Who's lonely now who's lonely now who's lonely now
Highway 101
Miscellaneous
All The Reasons Why (1988)
All the reasons why wont make you understand
Im trying to explain but Im not sure I can
Theres just no easy way of telling you goodbye
When love wont let you see, all the reasons why
I dont think I can go through them again
I was hoping wed end up friends
And no matter what I say or try
You deny all the reasons why
You asked what you done wrong, and did thats so un-you
What has changed my heart and what else can you do
Oh darling cant you see, its not so cut and dry
And who knows where love goes and all the reasons why
I dont think I can go through them again
I was hoping wed end up friends
And no matter what I say or try
Youre gonna cry over all the reasons why
If I could explain it I would, take away the hurt if I could
I dont think I can go through them again
I was hoping wed end up friends
And no matter what I say or try
Youre gonna cry over all the reasons why
Don't bother sittin at my table
Just because I'm on my own
Yes I'm a woman and I'm lonely
But that don't mean I can't be strong
Once again he's not beside me
And tonight he won't be coming home
So I just need a place to miss my baby
When he goes out to do me wrong
Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't wanna hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin lonely
But there's nothin' here I wanna find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
Every night's a little longer
Than the one that came before
But when I hear them sing a sad song
I know just what I'm cryin' for
I don't wanna stay home waitin'
Don't have to wonder where he's been
He'll be someone else's baby
Before he's in my arms again
Tonight I wanna do some drinkin'
I came to listen to the band
Yes I'm as good as what you're thinkin'
But I don't wanna hold your hand
And I know I'm lookin lonely
But there's nothin' here I wanna find
It's just the way of a woman
When she goes out to walk the line
It's just the way of a woman
Take a drive baby up the coast, yea highway 101
I'll pass Ventura and Santa Barbara too, just as fast as my motor runs
Gotta pocket full of memories, some happy and some are sad
Gotta girl standin' by my side through the good times and the bad
Chorus:
Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains
Sick boy, sick girl, looking nice dressed up on a Saturday night
Take a walk downtown for a while and chase the pale moonlight
I can still hear the mission bells and the train rollin' through your town
Gonna leave this world behind, we're Southern California bound
Chorus: x 2
Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains
Follow the palm trees under the California sun
You walked out on a good love and you found somebody new
And now the one that turned your head is turning her back on you
Who's lonely now who's heart is hurtin' I've had my share of those blues
Who's lonely now who's head is reeling you're finally feeling it too
Now you need a little sympathy you never should've walked out on me
Who's lonely now
I feel a whole lot better I got a new attitude
So you can take my crying towel and carry it home with you
Who's lonely now who's heart is hurtin'...
When your rejected you feel neglected it's true
In your condition you need attention and you know I'd like to help
But I'm seeing someone else who's lonely now
[ guitar ]
Now you know I'd like to help but I'm seeing someone else
Who's lonely now who's heart is hurtin'...
Who's lonely now who's lonely now who's lonely now
Who's lonely now who's heart is hurtin' who's lonely now
Been a long time lonely grown set in my ways
No eye for tomorrow just a chain of yesterdays
You were the first time I knew where I stood
Now I walk a new line and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine bring me back again it's just a matter of time
Gonna play my cards right gonna knock on wood
I know what it's coming and I think the change is gonna do me good
Stone cold sober in the broad daylight downtown dancin' on a Saturday night
Just thinkin' about you makes me feel alright
It's the way that you love me the way that you love me
[ guitar ]
Stone cold sober...
Your love is a shadow across all my dreams
I wake and want you and your face is all I see
No words have been spoken it's all understood
My heart is wide open and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine...
Gonna suit me fine it's just a matter of time
He's told me a million times he's sorry
I always take him back, though soon I know
He'll spend the night with you and let me cryin'
You don't love him, but you won't let him go
CHORUS
Oh whiskey, if you were a woman
I'd fight you and I'd win, Lord knows I would
Oh whiskey, if you were a woman
I'd drive you from his tangled mind for good
No matter what you do, I'll do it better
You'll never be the woman I could be
But you don't have a heart or any feelings
So I can't even ask for sympathy
CHORUS
oh whiskey, if you were a woman
If I came by 'round nine tonight
Baby, doubt would it be all right?
I've got it bad, boy, I must confess
Tell you now, honey, would you mind
If I took your hand in mine
Could I hold you? Just say, yes
C'mon, it's on the tip of your tongue
So easily done, such a small request
Oh babe, you got something to say
Don't keep me waiting, don't make me guess
Oh, do you love me? Just say yes
You don't have to go on and on
'Cuz you know what I really want
And that's your love, no more, no less
There's only one thing I need to hear
When you whisper in my ear
And that's one word, just say yes
C'mon, it's on the tip of your tongue
So easily done, such a small request
Oh babe, you got something to say
Don't keep me waiting, don't make me guess
Oh, do you love me? Just say yes
It's just a little creek now but when the rain comes down
It's gonna be a ragin' river
I just heard my baby say goodbye
He left me here holdin' back my tears now he's gone forever
The dam's gonna break and I'm a gonna cry cry cry
I'm a gonna cry and I don't care who sees
I wonder if he knows what he's done to me
I'm gonna love that boy till the day I die
Till the day I do I'm gonna cry cry cry
[ guitar ]
Now he's gone the pain's comin' on I can feel my whole body shaking
Looky here now what's this in my eyes
All I hear ringing in my ear is the sound of my heart breakind
Till the day I'm breaking I'm gonna cry cry cry
I'm a gonna cry and I don't care who sees...
I'm a gonna cry and I don't care who sees...
Been a long time lonely grown set in my ways
No eye for tomorrow just a chain of yesterdays
You were the first time I knew where I stood
Now I walk a new line and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine bring me back again it's just a matter of time
Gonna play my cards right gonna knock on wood
I know what it's coming and I think the change is gonna do me good
Stone cold sober in the broad daylight downtown dancin' on a Saturday night
Just thinkin' about you makes me feel alright
It's the way that you love me the way that you love me
[ guitar ]
Stone cold sober...
Your love is a shadow across all my dreams
I wake and want you and your face is all I see
No words have been spoken it's all understood
My heart is wide open and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine...
Gonna suit me fine it's just a matter of time
Darlin' were you listenin' when I called you late last night
Or did the sleep get in your eyes did it bind me from your sight
Or was she lyin' with you was it hard for you to speak
And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me
And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me
Did she like my satin sheets and did you sing her to sleep
And my pillow that she slept on did it bring her sweet dreams
Did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me
The pillow that you made for me it was softer than the down
And the headboard came from an old house that was bound to be torn down
And the songs you always sang to me oh as I fall asleep
Do they sound the same to her in the bed you made for me
And did you tell her she was sleeping...
[ guitar ]
Now you can take my old pillow and throw it out the door
You can buy another bed you can find another headboard
Cause I ain't gonna lie beneath those satin sheets she tore
The bed you made for me it isn't mine anymore
And did you tell her she was sleeping...
Well I'm sorry if I questioned your intentions
It's just that honesty is awfully hard to find
I might end up in an honorable mention
Then again I might end up with first prize
I aint lookin for a knight in shining armour
I don't believe that much in fairy tales these days
You don't have to ride me off into the sunset
I'm woman enough ta get there my own way
Woah I don't need me another saviour
A long long time ago I saw the light
All I need is a bridge across forever Uh Huh
Someone to meet me on the other side
Well it's a long hard fall from being lonely
But if you don't look down you won't be afraid
Just look into my eyes and then you'll realize
That I'll be there to meet ya there every way
Woah I don't need me another saviour
A long long time ago I saw the light
All I need is a bridge across forever Uh huh
Someone to meet me on the other side
"Bing Bang Boom" by Highway 101 (Hugh Priestwood)
Gather around me and lend an ear
'Cause I got somethin' you ought to hear
I'm tellin' you that you ought to fear
A certain kind of love
Now it can strike in the day or night
And just as quick as a rattler's bite
You've got a case of love at first sight
And it's what you're dyin' of
It's just bing bang boom, one two three
You're feelin' normal as you can be
And then bing bang boom, lickety split
It doesn't come on bit by bit
It gets instantly in full swing
And it's bing bang boom
Now I was foot loose and fancy free
I had respect, I had dignity
Then this thing gotta hold 'a me
And it still will not let go
I walked in, and my heartbeat jumped
My hair stood up, and my skin goose-bumped
My mind went blank, and my IQ slumped
And my judgment hit the road
It was bing bang boom, one two three
I fell the second he looked at me
It was bing bang boom, lickety split
It didn't come on bit by bit
It was instantly in full swing
It was bing bang boom
And now my obligations slide
I do not even care
And I spend all my wakin' hours
Walkin' on thin air
So friends, you'd best beware
'Cause that's exactly how you'll behave
If you get hit with this tidal wave
And you won't even have time to save
Your sinkin' sanity
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
Bing bang boom
Bing bang boom
Bing bang boom
It gets instantly in full swing
Well I met you in a bar and you looked like a movie star
When we touched, I could feel a spark
I was young and foolish too, my friends warned me about you
But I believed in your honky tonk heart
Chorus:
Our song of love is almost ended
I can feel us driftin' apart
I won't play 2nd fiddle
To the beat of your honky tonk heart
Well we used to feel the same but now one of us has changed
Oh the night life isn't my life anymore
What matters most to me is a home and a family
But you can't find that behind those swingin' doors
Chorus
Go on back to the bar where i found you
Go on back to your so called second home
You'll feel better with your good time friends around you
And i'll be here but i won't be alone
Good Goodbye
Paulette Tenae Carlson/Bob DiPiero/Pat McManus
It was more than I could do to try to get it through
That I needed his affection
He'd just sit around at home with his buddies on the phone
And we never made connections
Now I'm gonna take a break from all this shake-and-bake
Someone else can take it over
There ain't no better time for startin' over
This is a good goodbye
I ain't feelin' guilty 'cause I done the right thing
It's a good goodbye
I got my radio up and I'm startin' to sing
I'm drivin' this car just as fast as I can
Runnin' with the wind startin' all over agin
I ain't thinkin' twice 'bout that no account man
It's a good good good goodbye
Somewhere between the news and Sunday sports reviews
He'll find that I am missin'
And he'll think that I've gone to Marge's hair salon
But this time -- I'm goin' fishin'
And somewhere in the night when I don't turn out the light
He's gonna see the truth
He's gonna know that we are through
This is a good goodbye
I ain't feelin' guilty 'cause I done the right thing
It's a good goodbye
I got my radio up and I'm startin' to sing
I'm drivin' this car just as fast as I can
Runnin' with the wind startin' all over agin
I ain't thinkin' twice 'bout that no account man
It's a good good good goodbye
This is a good goodbye
I ain't feelin' guilty 'cause I done the right thing
It's a good goodbye
I got my radio up and I'm startin' to sing
I'm drivin' this car just as fast as I can
Runnin' with the wind startin' all over agin
I ain't thinkin' twice 'bout that no account man
It's a good good good goodbye
One Step Closer
Cactus Moser/ Curtis Stone
See him in the corner lookin' so right
It's Friday night and he's turnin' every head in sight
Stayin' in the shadows, I've seen his type before
He's playin' it safe, never sits with his back to the door
My heart is beating and I'm losing control
And I'm one step closer than I really should be
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes
This indecision weighin' on my mind
I'm giving it up, guess I knew I would all the time
I'm walkin' over, gonna see it through
I'm settin' my sights, takin' my aim on you
This may be crazy but what else can I do
I'm one step closer than I really should be
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes
This may be crazy but what else can I do
I'm one step closer than I really should be
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites
One step closer and I'm over the line
One step closer and Mama always told me
Don't go fallin' till you see the whites of his eyes
Now word's around you're back in town and headed for my heart
I'm not the same I'm one old flame that you ain't gonna start
There ain't no doubt the fire went out when you broke this heart in two
So honey, don't call me til I call you You know
I've got your number But your phone ain't gonna ring off the wall
Because I've got your number and honey, that's the reason I won't call.
Well you left me with a memory that'll live on 'til I die
I got burned but I have learned mistakes can make you wise
What you've done is taught me one of life's own bitter truths
Now I know I can't count on you because
Someone Believed
Johnny Pierce/ Joanne Christy/ Paul Solomon
She lives on a farm in southern Oklahoma
She's never been far away from home
Her Mom and her Daddy worked all of their lives
To make their little girl a home
She hides out in the woods with her movie magazines
Her Mama says God frowns on those kind of things
And she stares out her window in a far-away dream
Far from the wheat fields of home
And the seasons keep passing along
You'll know when it's time to leave
There's a new star on the screen tonight
Only ‘cause she believed
He was born in the heart of a cold eastern city
Growin' up with the sounds of cars and machines
A doctor, a lawyer or a great politician
His family hopes that's what he'll be
But he's got visions of cattle drives out in wyoming
Riders on horseback and rodeo scenes
And he knows all he needs is to buy an old pick-up
And drive west till he finds his dream
And the seasons keep passing along
You'll know when it's time to leave
Another cowboy rides the range tonight
Only ‘cause he believed
Someone somewhere sits all alone
Could be any boy or girl
Waiting for their time to come
With a dream to change the world
And the seasons keep passing along
You'll know when it's time to leave
There's a dream coming true tonight
It's four in the mornin', I'm tossin' and turnin'
Lord I think that I'm comin' apart
I cry your name in the darkness
As I feel the tears burnin'
It's hard to sleep on a broken heart
You tell me we've been treadin' water
Floatin' on courage and pride
I thought we would last
But now I'm sinkin' fast
In this river of tears that I've cried
I stare out the window
And wonder where did you go
And count the long hours 'til dawn
If I cry me a river it's because I don't know
Why you drifted while I'm hangin' on
You tell me we've been treadin' water
Floatin' on courage and pride
I thought we would last
But now I'm sinkin' fast
Been a long time lonely grown set in my ways
No eye for tomorrow just a chain of yesterdays
You were the first time I knew where I stood
Now I walk a new line and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine bring me back again it's just a matter of time
Gonna play my cards right gonna knock on wood
I know what it's coming and I think the change is gonna do me good
Stone cold sober in the broad daylight downtown dancin' on a Saturday night
Just thinkin' about you makes me feel alright
It's the way that you love me the way that you love me
[ guitar ]
Stone cold sober...
Your love is a shadow across all my dreams
I wake and want you and your face is all I see
No words have been spoken it's all understood
My heart is wide open and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine...
Darlin' were you listenin' when I called you late last night
Or did the sleep get in your eyes did it bind me from your sight
Or was she lyin' with you was it hard for you to speak
And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me
And did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me
Did she like my satin sheets and did you sing her to sleep
And my pillow that she slept on did it bring her sweet dreams
Did you tell her she was sleeping in the bed you made for me
The pillow that you made for me it was softer than the down
And the headboard came from an old house that was bound to be torn down
And the songs you always sang to me oh as I fall asleep
Do they sound the same to her in the bed you made for me
And did you tell her she was sleeping...
[ guitar ]
Now you can take my old pillow and throw it out the door
You can buy another bed you can find another headboard
Cause I ain't gonna lie beneath those satin sheets she tore
The bed you made for me it isn't mine anymore
