Collin Raye was born Aug. 22, 1960, in DeQueen, AR, with the name Floyd Collin Wray. Both of his parents were musical, and his mother, Lois Wray, was a regionally popular performer in East Texas who opened shows for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in the 1950s. At 7, Raye was onstage with her performing. At 13, he and his older brother Scott formed The Wray Brothers and performed in the roadhouses of the Lone Star State. They soon became headliners in Portland, OR, and in the casinos of Reno, NV.

G 1. Well, they shouldn't have played that good
GC / / / I got carried away and let the music
C / / / G / / / / / / / Go to my head
G Well, she shouldn't have worn that dress,
C / / / The way it curled around her when she was spinnin'

DG Chorus: Oh, no! When did neon lights turn into moon glow?
GD When did that juke box turn to a rainbow?
G / / I'm about to give in to this urge!
C One more slow dance with your arms around me,
G One more long glance, and nothing will slow down me!
DG / / / / / / (n.c.) I got no chance, If I'm not in love I'm on the verge!
2. All I wanted to be was cool, It ain't my style to overheat Much less burn But as we floated across the floor All at once I flashed right past the point Of no return And when we said goodnight the sun was on the rise Any stars that hadn't set had fallen in my eyes

Although I've tried carefully to catch all chord changes, you may hear others that I have missed. Corrections and improvements are always welcomed!! Thanks to the staff and management of COWPIE for supporting country guitarists of all levels of skill! I've used "/" to indicate counts where no vocal lines guide the timing. __________________________________________________________________________
