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... |

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! |

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. |

(Words and Music by Randy Owen)
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. |

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 |

Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma There's the Alabama dreamer That same man from Tennessee Sometime late that night the lonely wakes her gently And knocks at her door but she won't give in But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again Carolina dreamin' lonely Carolina can't you see You will always be the lady That I dream of holding tight That I kiss and tell goodnight Carolina mountain dewe Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina And she's waiting with the baby from the love Of the only man to lay her down Carolina dreaming lonely Carolina can't you see You will always be the lady That I dream of holding tight That I kiss and tell goodnight Carolina mountain dewe Carolina I love you... |

By now in New York City. There's snow on the ground. And out in California. The sunshines' falling down. And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights. And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight. Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines. Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight. Its windy in Chicago. The kids are out of school. There's magic in Motown. The city's on the move. In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline. And all across the Nation, it's a peaceful Christmas time. Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines. Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight. And from Fort Payne, Alabama. (spoken) God bless you all, We love ya, Happy New Year, Good night, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas tonight... |

I lay out some paper, I take out my pen Turn on my table-lamp and here I go again It's time to write a letter, I'm in the mood tonight Gotta find a way to tell you how I feel inside So I write a little and I cry a little It's so hard to find a way to say goodbye a little But somewhere in the middle, my emotions interfere So I write a little and cry a little tear And I die a little wishing you were here God I miss you, can't be with you I would kiss you oh, so good 'Cause you're my only cure for lonely I'd call if I could So I write a little and I cry a little It's so hard to find a way to say goodbye a little Somewhere in the middle, my emotions interfere So I write a little and cry a little tear And I die a little wishing you were here Oh, I die a little wishing you were here Wishing you were here I'm writing and wishing you were here I write a little and cry a little tear I'm writing and wishing you were here... |

We live in the land of plenty
But many things aren't plenty anymore Like the water from our sink They say its not safe to drink You gotta go and buy it at the store Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone Look what's washing on the beach And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees So let's leave some blue up above us Let's leave some green on the ground It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow Leave it and pass it on down Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains Acid rain is falling on the leaves And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still How we gonna breathe without them trees So let's leave some blue up above us Let's leave some green on the ground It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow Leave it and pass it on down There's a place where I live called the Canyon Where Daddy taught me to swim And that water, it's so pure And I'm gonna make sure Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty When we look into the eyes of our kids 'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back They'll have to pay for all we did So let's leave some blue up above us Let's leave some green on the ground It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow Leave it and pass it on down So let's leave some blue up above us (above us) Let's leave some green on the ground (on the ground) It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow Leave it and pass it on down So let's leave some blue up above us (above us) Let's leave some green on the ground (on the ground) It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow Leave it and pass it on down So let's leave some blue up above us Let's leave some green on the ground It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow Leave it and pass it on down Leave it and pass it on down... |

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... |

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... |

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... |

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... |

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! |

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. |

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 |

Album: Dancin' on the Boulevard You've got me achin' More than I should My heart is breakin' Oh, don't it feel good 'Cause I know for certain We're magic in love You've got me hurtin' 'Cause I can't get enough I just couldn't say no Even though I should Even if I did Wonder if you could I just couldn't say no, no When your eyes say yes, yes I just can't say no I've tried my best The way that you tease me Makes me want you more You purr like a kitten But I hear you roar Your body language Is talkin' to me Right here in the darkness It's so plain to see I just couldn't say no Even though I should Even if I did Wonder if you could I just couldn't say no, no When your eyes say yes, yes I just can't say no I've tried my best I just couldn't say no I just couldn't say no, no When your eyes say yes, yes I just can't say no I've tried my best I just can't say no I've tried my best I just couldn't say no... |

1st Chorus:
You can tell a lot about a man By the woman he loves 'Cause nothing else shows a part of his soul Like she does And she'd be the one to swear that he hung The moon above Yeah you can tell a lot about a man By the woman he loves She knows him inside out The things he dreams about And makes them come true when she can She know all of his faults The demons he's fought With nothin' but his hard-working' hands And he calls out her name In passion and pain She makes him stronger each time Yeah it's there on her lips And her fingertips That she's with him to 'till end of the line 2nd Chorus: (Yeah) You can tell a lot about a man By the woman he loves (yes you can) 'Cause nothing else shows a part of his soul Like she does And she'd be the one to swear the he hung The moon above Yeah you can tell a lot about a man By the woman he loves Repeat 1st chorus Tag: Yeah you can tell a lot about a man By the woman he loves He loves He always loves |

Alabama & N Sync
Lyrics by: Evan Rogers, Carl Sturken Can this be true? Tell me, can this be real? How can I put into words how I feel? My life was complete, I thought I was whole. Why do I feel like I'm losing control? I never thought that love could feel like this. Then you changed my world with just one kiss. How can it be, that right here with me, there's an angel, it's a miracle. Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep. Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep. When I look into your eyes I know that it's true, God must have spent a little more time on you. In all of creation, all things great and small, You are the one that surpasses them all. More precious than any diamond or pearl, They broke the mold when you came in this world. And I'm trying hard to figure out Just how I ever did without. The warmth of your smile, the heart of a child, It's deep inside, and leaves me purified. Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep. Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep. When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true, God must have spent a little more time on you. I never thought that love could feel like this, then you changed my world with just one kiss. How can it be, that right here with me, There's an angel, it's a miracle. Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep. Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep. When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true, God must have spent a little more time on you. God must have spent a little more time on you. |

I was walking home from school, on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way It was getting late, and I was scared and alone But then a kind old man, took my hand, and led me home Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers Oh I believe there are, angels among us Sent down to us, from somewhere up above They come to you and me, in our darkest hours To show us how to live, to teach us how to give To guide us with the light of love When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees There's always been someone, to come along, and comfort me A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand A phone call from a friend, just to say, I understand But ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road That someone lights the way, with just a single ray of hope Oh I believe there are, angels among us Sent down to us, from somewhere up above They come to you and me, in our darkest hours To show us how to live, to teach us how to give To guide us with the light of love They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need Oh I believe there are, angels among us Sent down to us, from somewhere up above They come to you and me, in our darkest hours To show us how to live, to teach us how to give To guide us with the light of love To guide us with a light of love |

Well it's time for my vacation
It's time for me to have some fun Yes, it's time for my vacation I wanna lay out in the sun in Florida Cause I've been working every weekend I've been working overtime Now it's time for my vacation Have nothing on my mind, that's right Goin' swimmin' in the blue hole And fishin' with an ol' cane pole Cause I can't be like Walter Mitty It must be real, it must be right Cause it's dog eat dog to the pinnacle And success is an uphill fight I am fresh and clean every morning And dead on my feet every night Said it's time for my vacation It's time for me to have some fun Yes, it's time for my vacation I wanna lay out in the sun all day long We are back to basics And count my blessings one by one We're up for school by seven Got exams all week long It's been study study study But come Friday gonna be gone I'm gonna get out of here R and R on Saturday and Sunday And party, party on and on Well I've been drivin' on the freeway Traffic slipped and traffic slide It's wall to wall insanity Blowin' horns or showin' lights Should I wind my watch in frustration Or should I go flying high, no Gonna take my vacation Travel on beach to have some fun Cause it's time for my vacation I wanna lay out in the sun, all day long Headed back for Mother Nature And party, party all night long |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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... |

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 |

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 |

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)... |

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 |

The stage is set tonight down in Nashville
It's been a long, hard ride into town And thanks to some cowboys and heroes My chance to sing has finally come around The first song I ever sang was Haggard's Momma sang to me, "I Saw the Light" And I'd turn my radio up louder To hear Johnny Cash walk the line Mmmm Ol' Waylon sang the songs about Texas Willie's blue eyes, cryin' in the rain Bocephus sang the songs about Dixie And Lefty taught us, all how to sing Chorus Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Riding somewhere tonight Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Wanted, dead or alive Well, Charlie ran the Devil out of Georgia Skynyrd sang of sweet home Alabam' The Allman Brothers taught us how to ramble And the Tucker boys showed us how to jam Chorus Well, the stage is set tonight up in Heaven And Reba's band is there with Patsy Cline And all around there's cowboys and cowgirls And thanks to them, the music's still alive Chorus Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys Flyin' somewhere tonight Hats off to hard flyin' cowboys Wanted, dead or alive |

Before we ever made the headlines
Or toured the concert halls We survived our share of bar rooms Stared at many motel walls. The years in Carolina And all the one night stands What kept the fires a burnin' Back then, was you the fans. We two stepped out to Texas Round and round the dance hall floors Played the fair in Minnesota, mm I wish we could've played one more. We hope you remember We're just the boys in the band And what keeps the fires a burnin' Is always, you the fans. (la da da, da da, la da) I wish this night could last forever Ah, but the show must go on And we'll take home the memories And we'll leave you with our songs. It's been good to see ya'll Can we come back again? and again, and again What keeps the fires a burnin' In us, is you the fans. As long as you remember, the boys in the band We'll keep the fires a burnin' For all of You Our fans... |
