Drinkin' was forbidden
In my Christian country home I learned to play the flattop On them good ol' Gospel songs Then I heard about the barrooms Just across the Georgia line Where a boy could make a livin' Playin' guitar late at night. Had to learn about the ladies; Too young to understand Why the young girls fall in love With the boys in the band When the boys turn to music, The girls just turn away To some other guitar picker In some other late night place. Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away Took my songs and dreams to Nashville Then I moved on to L.A. Up to New York City, All across the USA I lost so much of me But there's enough of me to say, that my.. Chorus: Home's in Alabama, No matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred. What keeps me goin' I don't really know Can't be the money Lord knows I'm always broke Could it be the satisfaction Of bein' understood When the people really love ya And let you know when it's good Oh I'll speak my Southern English Just as natural as I please I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me And someday when I make it, When love finds a way Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with pride and say, that my Home's in Alabama, No matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred And my home's in Alabama, No matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred Southern born and southern bred... |

I saw you starin' at each other
I saw your eyes begin to glow And I could tell you once were lovers But you ain't hidin' nothin' that I don't know. There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise Now that old flame might not be stronger But it's been burnin' longer Than any spark I might have started in your eyes. You said it ended when he left you You say your love for me is strong But those old memories still upset you Well, I might be a memory before too long. 'Cause there's an old flame burnin' in your eyes That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise Now that old flame might not be stronger But it's been burnin' longer Than any spark I might have started in your eyes. There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise Now that old flame might not be stronger But it's been burnin' longer... |

Spoken: "You see that mountain over there? Yeah? Well, one of these days I'm gonna climb that mountain". Chorus: Oh, play me some mountain music, Like grandma and grandpa used to play. Then I'll float on down the river To a Cajun hideaway. Drift away like Tom Sawyer, ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn. Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle, daze dreamin' again. Chorus Oh, play me some mountain music, Like grandma and grandpa used to play. Then I'll float on down the river To a Cajun hideaway. Swim across the river, just to prove that I'm a man. Spend the day bein' lazy, just bein' nature's friend. Climb a long tall hick'ry. Bend it over, skinnin' cats. Playin' baseball with chert rocks, usin' sawmill slabs for bats. Bridge: Play some back-home, come-on music That comes from the heart. Play something with lots of feelin', 'Cause that's where music has to start. Oh, play me some mountain music, Like grandma and grandpa used to play. Then I'll float on down the river To a Cajun hideaway, hey hey. Oh play me mountain music. Oh play me mountain music. Oh play me mountain music. Oh play me mountain music. |

Sometimes the morning coffee's way too strong.
and Sometimes what she says she says all wrong. Right or Wrong, she's there beside me, Like only a friend would be! And that's close enough to perfect for me. now, She's been known to wear her pants too tight. And drinkin' puts her out just like a light. Heaven knows she's not an angel, but she'd really like to be. And that's close enough to perfect for me. She kisses me each mornin' And smiles a sleepy smile! She don't have to say it. I can see it in her eyes! Don't you worry about my woman, And what you think she aught to be! She's close enough to perfect for me! Sometimes she gets down and starts to cry! But then again a lady has a right. She's everything I ever wanted! She's all I'll ever need! She's close enough to perfect for me! She kisses me each mornin', And smiles a sleepy smile! She don't have to say it. I can see it in her eyes! Don't you worry about my woman, And what you think she aught to be! She's close enough to perfect for me! Whooooa...She's close enough to perfect...for me! |

It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteen
A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams The ties that once bound her now are broke away And she's like a baby, just learning how to play. She never thought that love could ever end so soon Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon When he asked her to marry and she gladly said okay And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday. Now, she's a lady down on love She needs somebody to gently pick her up She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound To a man who would love her and never let her down. Well, I know a lady that's down on her love 'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touch But work took me a way from home late at nights And I wasn't there when she turned out the lights Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust. Now, she's a lady down on love She needs somebody to gently pick her up She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound To a man who would love her and never let her down Now she's a lady down on love... |

Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel, holdin' my
lover with the other: a sweet, soft, Southern thrill. Worked hard all week; got a little jingle on a Tennessee Saturday night. Couldn't feel better: I'm together with my Dixieland Delight. Chorus: Spend my dollar; parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight; hold her uptight; make a little lovin', a little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night. Fits my life, oh, so right: My Dixieland Delight. Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover, redtail hawk settin' on a limb, a chubby old groundhog, croakin' bullfrog, free as the feelin' in the wind. Home grown country girl gonna give me a whirl on a Tennessee Saturday night. Lucky as a seven livin' in heaven with my Dixieland Delight. Chorus Repeat first verse |

She said, I spent eight years in California
That's the reason why I talk the way I do But I've heard how southern men respect the ladies And I'd like to meet a gentleman like you. Well, I spent most of my life in Alabama That's the reason why I talk the way I do And I've always had this thing for sun-tanned ladies And I'd really like to spend some time with you. And we walked on the beach till early morning And we watched as the sun came up again And somehow we both shared the feelin' That we'd just made a very special friend. Tomorrow I'll go back to Alabama And you'll fly from Atlanta to L.A. And I'll get back to takin' care of bus'ness, And you'll go back to starrin' on the stage. But we'll think of the beach come Monday morning When both of us get back to push and shove And somehow we will always remember The night we shared a very special love. I spent most of my life in Alabama That's the reason why I talk the way I do I know we shared a very special friendship The night we made a very special love... |

Running scared
Wonderin' what I'm doing so far from home Pretending not to care That I was so alone Then my eyes met hers And without one word I could tell what was gonna happen I could feel it in my bones By the dark of the moon There's a fire in the night She took me to her room Ah you know it felt so right It keeps growing higher The flame of desire By the dark of the moon Ah there's a fire in the night Well she told me She didn't often do this kind of thing She said please hold me Hold me tight so I don't have to think Oh her gentle touch Really moved me so much The flames of love swept over us Like a burning light By the dark of the moon There's a fire in the night She took me to her room Ah you know it felt so right It keeps growing higher The flame of desire By the dark of the moon Mm there's a fire in the night (Fire in the night) By the dark of the moon There's a fire in the night She took me to her room Ah you know it felt so right It keeps growing higher The flame of desire By the dark of the moon Oh there's a fire in the night There's a fire in the night We started a fire Ooo There's a fire in the night Oh I'm on fire... |

In your eyes tonight, You know I'd know that look anywhere. You got plans And I'm one lucky man. Before we get so carried away There's just something I've been wanting to say When we make love, It's more to me than just an affair, I want you to know how much I care.

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand, This love that I feel is so right and so real, I realize how lucky I am. And should you ever wonder if my love is true, There's something that I want to make clear to you. There's no way I can make it without you, There's no way that I'd even try. If I had to survive without you in my life, I know I wouldn't last a day. Oh babe, there's no way. It means so much to me whenever I see That 'wanting me look' in your eyes. I don't know how I could do without Holding you close every night. I've waited so long just to have you to hold. Now that I've got you, I'll never let go. There's no way I can make it without you. There's no way that I'd even try. If I had to survive without you in my life, I know I wouldn't last a day. Oh babe, there's no way. I never knew until you What I was missing. Now you say "Forever." I find my heart, it's listening, Yes, I'm listening. There's no way I can make it without you. There's no way that I'd even try. If I had to survive without you in my life, I know I wouldn't last a day. Oh babe, there's no way. Baby, there's just no way. |

He said goodbye to the angels of heaven
And He came to earth as a common man He taught us how we could love one another There was healing in His hands There were those who believed and followed Him And there were those who wanted Him dead They thought the grave would silence Him forever But they found out instead You can close your eyes You can say it's a lie You can stick your head in the sand You can turn away, even try to explain He was just another man When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet and the put Him in the ground Three days later everybody found out that you can't No you can't keep a good man down I hear you say that it all sounds crazy It's a good story but it can't be true How could a man who was dead and buried Mean a thing to me and you Here we are two thousand years later and still the choice is just the same You can say that you don't believe it But it doesn't change a thing repeat chorus I can take you to the hill where they hung Him on a cross I can take you to the empty tomb I can tell you He's alive 'cause He lives in me But the rest is up to you repeat chorus |

She and I live in our own little world
Don't worry about the world outside She and I agree She and I lead a perfectly normal life Ah but just because we aren't often seen socially People think we've got something to hide. But all our friends know we're just a little old fashioned She and I Oh ain't that great Ain't it fine To have a love someone that others can't find Ain't it wonderful to know all we ever need is just the two of us She and I So wonderful She and I She and I share with every body else The same wants, needs and desires She and I save She and I pay on everything we acquire Ah but just because we aren't often seen separately People think we live one life. Its hard for them to see how anyone could be as close as She and I |

It was July hot 'cross Georgia on my way to Myrtle Beach
I just got my diploma so I set out in search of me The honeymoon was over, and Alabama was far away From being little more than just a southern state. I got a gig down at the Bowery I played for tip and watered drinks Just a novice in a business That's seldom what it seems. And where are you goin' Tar Top Where's J. C. And The Chosen Few I saw the Flash without T. Gentry And B. V. left for Malibu. I was July hot and thirty, some years down the line When the Boys touched the nation, unaware at the time I got to go to Texas, California, New York too A farm boy who is thankful to be standin' in his shoes. But in the Bowery hangs the mem'ries Of dreams that still come true Every time I see the spotlight I'm one of the chosen few. And where are you going Tar Top Where's J. C. and the Chosen Few There's no Flash without T. Gentry And B. V. where are you? Where are you goin' Tar Top Which direction will you take What's this contrabanded clamor About the music that you make? And where are you goin' Tar Top Is it country enough Is it contemporary glamour No it's us, just us. Uh huh... |

Thinking of the faces I've seen
Back when I was young and green I was falling back then Now I'm workin' on building a fire And flirtin' with that old desire And fallin' again into the wind I fall in and again I fall in love again I'm fallin' again. Well, you'd think that I would learn by now To keep from falling somehow But I'm fallin' again 'Cause when I caught that look in your eyes That's when I realized I was fallin' again into the wind I fall in and again I fall in love again. Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again. I fall in and again I fall in love again Fallin' again into the wind. Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again. I fall in and again I fall in love again Fallin' again into the wind... |

We didn't know that times were lean
Round our house the grass was green It didn't seem like things were all that bad I bet we walked a thousand miles Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows And learnin' how to give it all we had. As life went on and years went by I saw the light in daddy's eyes And felt - the love in mama's hands They kept us warm and kept us fed Taught us how to look ahead Now lookin' back, I understand. Chorus: We Were Walkin' in High Cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We Were Walkin' in High Cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced. When Sunday mornings rolled around We dressed up in hand-me downs Just in time, to gather with the church Sometimes I think how long it's been And how it impressed me then It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.

Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine
And show me the way to get home Well I'm blue-collar branded, and stuck in a mill Hard work is a way of life for me Well I'm too young to live like I'm over the hills And too old to be wild and free. My heart is onward bound. I'm rolling with the feeling and I can't slow down I need a guiding light. Shining down to lead me through the night Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine And show me the way to get home. Oh, hey my D.J. friend, would you play me one more song And let my mind just go and drift away Now we all have a dream....and a place where we belong Somewhere we can go and escape. My heart is onward bound. I'm rolling with the feeling and I can't slow down ....I need a guiding light. Shining down to lead me throught the night Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine And show me the way to get home. Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine And show me the way to get home... |

Or she'd be walkin' out I guess I was just too blind to see Or maybe just too proud So I never thought twice When she loaded up her things and drove away 'Cause I knew she'd be back someday I knew she'd be back Took off my work clothes And left them right there on the floor 'Cause I knew she'd pick 'em up When she got home like a hundred times before And just to make it easier for her I left the light on on the porch 'Cause I knew she'd be back someday I knew she'd be back I guess I showed her How much she had to lose Showed her, who was really who I know she's hurtin' now Looks like I showed her I must have seen the movie of the month A dozen times or more I watched my favorite team play ball But I never heard a score 'Cause the whole time I was listening For the moment when she'd walk through the door 'Cause I knew she'd be back someday I know she'll be back I guess I showed her How much she had to lose Showed her, who was really who I know she's hurtin' now Looks like I showed her If I could I show her how much she had to lose I'd show her I've been hurtin' too If I could hold her now I'd really show her... |

Here we are, once again
Stronger now than we have ever been Hand in hand, heart to heart Now we're made it through the hardest part We had to break it all down To build it back up Lean on each other when the times got rough How'd we survive going through so much Baby you and me could write a book about love Here we are, one to one Looking back to see how far we've come We've shared it all, you and I Still together after all this time We had to break it all down To build it back up Lean on each other when the times got rough How'd we survive going through so much Baby you and me could write a book about love Here we are, once again Stronger now than we have ever been Hand in hand, heart to heart, here we are Here we are, once again Stronger now than we have ever been Hand in hand, heart to heart Now we've made it through the hardest part Here we are, one to one Looking back to see how far we've come We've shared it all, you and I Still together after all this time Here we are |

Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on the state road map That's where I was born and where I'll die Things move at a slower pace Nobody's in a rat race And these days that's a special way of life (CHORUS) Down Home Where they know you by name and treat you like family Down Home A mans good word and a hand shake are all you need Folks know If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home Those of us raised up down home In the corner of the hardware store Gathered round on a checkered board Old men telling lies and crownin' kings Kids drivin' round the old town square Cops roll down int he cool night air Go and see what's shakin' at the Dairy Queen (CHORUS) Down Home Where they know you by name and treat you like family Down Home A mans good word and a hand shake are all you need Folks know If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home Those of us raised up down home When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place But now I wanna see my children raised Down Home Down Home Folks know If there fallin' on hard times they can fall back home Those of us raised up Down Home Where they know you by name and treat you like family Down Home A mans good word and a handshake are all you need Folks know If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home Those of us raised up Down Home Down Home Way down home Down home Down Home Way down home |

I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched. The look in your eyes Said you felt as much But I'm not a man Who falls so easily It's best that you know Where you stand with me I will give you my heart Faithful and true And all the love it can hold That's all I can do But I've thought about How long I'll love you And it's only fair that you know Forever's as far as I'll go. When there's age around my eyes And gray in your hair And it only takes a touch to recall The love we've shared I won't take for granted That you know my love is true Each night in your arms I will whisper to you. I will give you my heart Faithful and true And all the love it can hold That's all I can do But I've thought about How long I'll love you And it's only fair that you know Forever's as far as I'll go. |

In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries One by one, they take me back To the days when you were mine And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind. I don't need no quarters, don't need any dime You filled it up forever When you said good-bye Heaven knows I love old melodies They were meant to ease the pain But the kind that's playin' on my mind Are drivin' me insane. In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries One by one, they take me back To the days when you were mine And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind. Song by song, those melodies Were meant to ease the pain But the kind that's playin' on my mind Are drivin' me insane; In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries One by one, they take me back To the days when you were mine And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind. |

Hey baby, won't you take my hand
And make me a happy man I ain't rich but I found my fortune in you Two jobs on the nighttime shift I'm still left with an empty fist But my heart is full and my love is true We can still get married in the style of our friends and family Gather all of them to celebrate while we slip out quietly And have a hometown honeymoon Wildflowers and love is in bloom We'll have a hometown honeymoon just me and you Hometown honeymoon Get out of church and up to your room We'll have a hoe-down afternoon Dancing to the rhythm of love We can sing and laugh out loud Lifestyles of the poor but proud Cuddle up on the porch and enjoy the view We can't afford Niagara Falls But there's a fountain by the old town hall We'll make a wish by the light of a lover's moon I'll get my Grandma's wedding ring And my brother's Chevrolet We can stay at your mama's house; We don't have to go away To have a hometown honeymoon Wildflowers and love is in bloom We'll have a hometown honeymoon Dancing to the rhythm of love Your daddy's prize possession I'll make a good impression I'm gonna get his blessing That's all we need Hometown honeymoon Wildflowers and love is in bloom We'll have a hometown honeymoon just me and you Hometown Honeymoon Get out of church and up to your room We'll have a hoe-down afternoon Dancing to the rhythm of love Hometown honeymoon Hometown honeymoon Hometown honeymoon Wildflowers and love is in bloom... |

Chorus:
I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really got to do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why Don't know why I have to drive so fast My car has nothing to prove It's not new, but it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2 chorus Can't be late That leaves me plenty of time Shakin' hands with the clock I can't stop, I'm on a roll and ready to rock chorus I hear a voice It says I'm runnin' behind I better pick up my pace It's a race and there ain't no room For someone in second place break chorus |

Let's Roll the windows down turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair Love is reckless, lets get reckless tonight There ain't nothing out here but a big, tall Texas sky There's a red sun painted across the pond tonight Well your daddy's got plans for you And mine thinks I'm at school They say it's reckless to chase a dream But this town's got nothing for you and me Let's roll the windows down turn the radio up Let the wind blow through our hair There's a moon tonight and a road outside Baby we're gettin' out of here I could care less where it leads us Love is reckless, let's get reckless tonight Let's take my Thunderbird and leave tonight I'll keep the pedal to the floor until we see morning light They can't live our lives for us If we let 'em we'll lose our love And love dies hard in this Texas sun I'd rather be reckless and on the run Let's roll the windows down turn the radio up Let the wind blow through our hair There's a moon tonight and a road outside Baby we're gettin' out of here I could care less where it leads us Love is reckless, let's get reckless tonight When you're crazy in love you gotta take a chance Burn the bridge and don't look back Turn the radio up roll the windows down Let the wind blow through our hair There's a moon tonight and a road outside Baby we're gettin' out of here Roll the windows down, turn the radio up Love is reckless, let's get reckless Let's get reckless... |

Give Me One More Shot: Alabama
Life ain't all that easy I can testify to that It's been up and down and round and round to get to where I'm at If you could see how I'm living in this old car I drive Well you'd probably wonder and even ponder why I even wanna stay alive Chorus: So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day Well I could complain about taxes or the weather we're having today Go on and on about things that are wrong from New York to L.A. Well that's just not my nature to sit around feeling sad We're only here for awhile so why not smile hey living ain't all that bad CHORUS When I look around there's lots of folks worse off than me So I just thank the good Lord and ask him please CHORUS Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day Give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got give me one more day Show me the way, and give me one more day Give me one more shot |

I've got her photograph
On a stand by my bed Two on the mantel And thousands in my head I can't believe how fast she's growing It ain't suppose to be like this Every time I look at her I see how much I've missed I missed her first steps Her first words I love you daddy Is something I seldom hear Oh it hurts me so To watch my girl grow Up in pictures I send the money down I do my best to do my part But it can't compare With what I pay with my heart There's still unanswered questions That weigh heavy on my mind Will she ever understand the reasons why I missed her first steps Her first words I love you daddy Is something I seldom hear Oh it hurts me so To watch my girl grow Up in pictures It takes all I have To keep the tears inside What I wouldn't give if I could turn back time I missed her first steps Her first words I love you daddy Is something I seldom heard Oh it hurts me so To watch my baby grow Up in pictures |

She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl She don't love carelessly that's what I've always heard 'Can't use the usual lines she measures every word No empty promises proof is what it takes to win her heart The truth and nothing less, Simple things that set her far apart Save your diamonds and your furs She's not your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary, no she's not She ain't your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary, oh no She ain't your ordinary girl No midnight alibis, no foolish games for her And if you cross the line you'll get what you deserve But when you see her smile Nothing seems to matter anymore And in a little while you'll feel like you've never felt before Like no other in the world, she's not your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary, no she's not She ain't your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary, oh no She ain't your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary She ain't your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary She ain't your ordinary girl Save your diamonds and your furs, She ain't your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary She ain't your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary She ain't your ordinary girl She ain't your ordinary She ain't your ordinary girl... |

Well the magic attic's where the music rolls And the army-navy's got ol' jackie soul Down on peaches corner there are good ol' boys And mother fletchers makin' lots of noise They're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Well the tams are playin' at the port-o-call And the drifters underneath the boardwalk At the sapnish galleon and ol' fat jacks Jukebox playin' and the place is packed You bet they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard You know they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Got the top down and the traffic's slow Sun fun week and, we all go Where the girls are sunnin' and lookin' good Well i never met 'em but i wish i could And we'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard We'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Well the embers singin' up on ocean drive And the castaways are gettin' loud tonight At the electric circus they all getin' down And the carousel's spinnin' round and 'round See them dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard I see 'em dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Well i'm hangin out down at sloppy joes They may doze but they never close And the bama boys at the bowery They can't dance but they play for free But they like dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard They know dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard They wrote dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Shaggin' on the boulevard Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard |

Sad Lookin' Moon: Alabama
I thought that you could fly I thought that you had wings I guess that I believed You'd never say goodbye But my world stopped turnin' 'round The stars turned upside down It knocked me to the ground on my knees Now there's a sad lookin' moon Shinin' down on me There's a sad lookin' sky As far as I can see I always believed And I thought the stars could see But there's a sad lookin' moon Shinin' down on me I shared with you my dreams I gave you everything I opened up my heart And I gave you my ring Well I spent days and nights Just thinkin' about the time When you would be mine all my life Now there's a sad lookin' moon Shinin' down on me There's a sad lookin' sky As far as I can see I always believed And I thought the stars could see But there's a sad lookin' moon Shinin' down on me There's a sad lookin' moon A sad lookin' moon There's a sad lookin' moon Shinin' down on me |

How do you fall in love
When do you say "I do" When is the perfect time To spend the rest of your life Now seasons may come and go Sometimes it rains and snows And there will be highs and lows So only you will know You never know just where it will find you 'Cause it can come on you so fast Or seems like it takes forever When you want it so bad But don't ever take it for granted 'Cause it's more than sowing some seeds It takes sun and water So give it what it needs That's how you fall in love That's when you say "I do" That's when you know its time To spend the rest of your life Now seasons may come and go Sometimes it rains and snows And there will be highs and lows So only you will know And there will be highs and lows So only you will know |

What's goin' on with the sun and the moon
'Cause one's goin' down to early, one's comin' up to soon The hands on my old clock tell me once again that I'm fallin' behind There's too much to do and not enough time Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck It's runnin' me to death and I'm out of my breath keepin' up There's no such thing for me as a nine to five It takes more sweat than that just to get us by It's like I'm chasin' my own tail 'Cause Monday mornin' starts another stressed out week The world is breathing down my neck I can feel the heat Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck It's runnin' me to death and I'm out of my breath keepin' up By the time we make ends meet There's not much left for you and me And no job security It sure makes it tough Keepin' up Keepin' up I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck It's runnin' me to death and I'm out of my breath keepin' up I'm movin' as fast as I can Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends Keepin' up I can't stop Keepin' up, like it or not Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends Keepin' up I can't stop Keepin' up, like it or not Keepin' up... |

Album: When It All Goes South
Just outside of Austin I turned on my radio Tuned it in to a satellite station She was talkin' on a call-in show She said it was over, she'd made her choice Her mind was made-up by the sound of her voice Clear across America tonight Clear coast-to-coast tonight She's long gone, she's outta here But she's comin' through loud and clear Clear across America tonight Sounded like he really had it coming All the times he'd done her wrong She said, I hope he's listening And hung-up the telephone All of a sudden, I realized It was me she was telling goodbye Clear across America tonight Clear coast-to-coast tonight She's long gone, she's outta here But she's comin' through loud and clear Clear across America tonight Hello DJ, put me on the air Give me the chance to tell her I still care Get her back on the line, tell her I'm still in love Said, "Sorry son, but you're breaking up" Clear across America tonight Clear coast-to-coast tonight She's long gone, she's outta here But she's comin' through loud and clear Across America tonight Across America tonight Clear across America tonight Clear across America tonight Clear across America tonight... |

When we're in a crowd, I'm sure you've noticed how I love to look at you (you, you, you) No, I can't deny, I get hypnotized When I look at you (look at you, look at you) Oh, it's the kind of thing that I can't explain No matter how I try It's no mystery, the whole world can see How I feel inside (feel inside) Oh, oh baby I can't hide my heart It's been that way right from the start These feelings I know Can't help but show And I can't hide my heart When we're all alone, oh, it's just as strong When I look at you Maybe even more behind these doors As I'm loving you (loving you) Oh, oh baby I can't hide my heart It's been that way right from the start These feelings I know Can't help but show And I can't hide my heart Baby you never will be lonely, As long as I'm alive You'll always be my one and only, For the rest of my life Ooooh I can't hide my heart It's been that way right from the start These feelings I know Can't help but show And I can't hide my heart I can't hide my heart It's been that way right from the start I can't hide my heart (and I can't hide my heart) It's been that way right from the start I can't hide my heart I can't hide my heart... |

Album: When It All Goes South
My heart fell to the floor The night you broke the news Said you couldn't feel it anymore Those words that rolled off your tongue Tore my world in two As you turned and walked on out the door I've been trying to get over you And get on with my life But the more I do without you The more I realize I can't love you any less, No matter how I try You left me with a feeling, That just won't seem to die And it's killing me knowing, I'll never hold you like before I don't love you any less, You don't love me anymore Well girl, I hope you never feel The way I feel tonight It's a hopeless kind of pain Well I'm not even comin' close To gettin' over you Feels like it's never gonna end So why do I keep hangin' on And wastin' my time Wish I could let you go But this old heart of mine Can't love you any less, No matter how I try You left me with a feeling, That just won't seem to die And it's killing me knowing, I'll never hold you like before I don't love you any less, You don't love me anymore Girl, I don't love you any less, You don't love me, anymore... |

It'll creep up on you like a kudzu vine
Even miles above the Mason-Dixon line 'Til one day you're craving hominy grits And scanning the jukebox for George Jones hits Drinkin' Jack Black tryin' to kick back 'Til the condo's looking like a shotgun shack You'll be one of us no matter where you're at When it all goes south When it all goes south (You'll be drivin' around on a John Deere tractor) When it all goes south (Wearing baseball caps but they won't be backwards) Now it really don't matter what state you're in One day the south's gonna rise again There's a Wall Street wonderboy sittin' up north Throwing darts like a monkey at a stock report He's got two homes, car loans, in debt And his third divorce ain't even final yet Traded his MBA for a SUV On a backwoods road down in Tennessee 'Cause man Manhattan ain't the place to be When it all goes south (With the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias) When it all goes south (Eatin' moon pies, drinking RC colas) Now it really don't matter what state you're in Someday the south's gonna rise again Vicksburg, Birmingham, Natchez And Savannah, Panama City Y'all sure look pretty in the sunshine Gettin' dixiefried Get yourself some rebel pride When it all goes south (Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud) When it all goes south (You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood) Now it really don't matter what state you're in One day the south's gonna rise again When it all goes south When it all goes south (Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud) When it all goes south (You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood)... |
