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... |

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 |

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... |

I once thopught of love as a prison a place I didn't want to be.
So long ago I made a decision to be footloose and fancy free. But you cam I was so tempted to gamble on love just one time. I never thought I would get caught. It seemed liek the perfect crime.: Baby, you left me defneseless. I've only got one plea. Lock me away inside of your love and throw away the key. I'm guilty of love in the first degree. I thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before. I'd take what I wanted and just walk away, but I never made it to the door. Now babe, I'm not beggin' for mercy. Go ahead and throw the book at me. If lovin' you's a crime, I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Love in the first degree. Love in the first degree. Love in the first degree. |

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. 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. Tag: Oh play me mountain music Oh play me mountain music Oh play me mountain music Oh play me mountain music |

Fly away with me tonight.
Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin' arms, and ev'rything's gonna be alright. You're the one who took my hand when no one else could understand. You're the one who moves me like nobody else can.: Take me down where I wanna be. Turn around, the man who lives inside of me. Take me down and love me all night long. Hold me close and make me strong. Take me down. Take me down tonight. In your eyes I see the light. It's your emotions glowin' bright. So keep the fires burnin', and let it warm me through the night. You can be a part of me, 'cause you're what love was meant to be. You and me, baby, we'll set the flame inside free. You don't have to stay forever Let's just put our hearts together, share another night in ecstasy. We know that it's feelin' better ev'ry time we get together. Maybe love was meant for you and me. Whoa, take me down where I wanna be. Turn around, the man who lives inside of me. Take me down and love me all night long. Hold me close and make me strong. Take me down. Take me down tonight. Take me down tonight. Take me down tonight. Take me down tonight. |

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! |

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 |

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 |

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. |

There are people in this country who work hard every day.
Not for fame or fortune do they strive. But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay. And it's time a few of them were recognized. Hello Detroit auto workers, let me thank you for your time. You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line. Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers, let me thank you for your time. You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line. This is for the one who swings the hammer, driving home the nail. Or the one behind the counter, ringing up the sale. Or the one who fights the fires, the one who brings the mail. For everyone who works behind the scenes. You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields. In the city streets and the quiet country towns. Working together like spokes inside a wheel. They keep this country turning around. Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time. You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line. Hello West Virginia coal miner, let me thank you for your time. You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line. This one is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the road. Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load. Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol. For everyone who works behind the scenes. With a spirit you can't replace with no machine. Hello America - let me thank you for your time! |

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 |

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. Chorus X2 We Were Walkin' In High Cotton. |

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... |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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 |

We could walk away now, call it over and done
Say we fought the good fight and nobody won Say we're both better off that worst came to worst So we didn't last, hey, we're not the first But then again, if we give it one more try We might find the feeling can never really die And there's still a chance to be all we might have been And find the love we had back then again Off to such a good start but somehow it seems We've let our hearts fall apart at the dreams We could throw in the towel walk away with our pride Say it just wasn't worth all the tears that we've cried But then again, if we give it one more try We might find the feeling can never really die And there's still a chance to be all we might have been Let's find the love we had back then again Maybe if we want it bad enough We can make it better than it ever was And there's still a chance to be all we might have been Let's find the love we had back then again... |

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 |

Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes And felt the fire burning in my heart For the very first time She was scared and young And had never tasted love So I took her by the hand And a boy became a man Once upon a lifetime And once upon a lifetime You hold the queen of hearts But if you gamble on a diamond When the dealing starts You stand to lose it all As the cards begins to fall An the lesson learned is hard You're only dealt the queen of hearts Once upon a lifetime So if your taking chances know the chance you take A broken hearts a high price to pay Foolish ways will make fools of the wise And the best thing seldom come along twice Once upon a lifetime You know that you've been blessed When you hold your first born Tenderly against your chest The innocent you see The value of a family And you feel a special bond That only comes a long Once upon a lifetime So if you taking chances know the chance you take A broken heart a high price to pay Foolish ways will make fool's of the wise And the best things seldom come along twice And people only find A love like yours and mine Once upon a lifetime |

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... |

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 |

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... |

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 |

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 |
