You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again Let me give my life to you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses Like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again |

There's a storm across the valley
Clouds are rolling in The afternoon lies heavy On your shoulders There's a truck out on the four lane A mile or more away And the whining of his wheels Just makes it colder He's an hour away from riding On his prayers up in the sky And ten days on the road Are barely gone Like a fire softly burning Supper's on the stove It's the light in your eyes That keeps him warm Chorus Hey it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey it's good to be back home again There's all the news to tell him How you've spent your time And what's the latest thing the neighbors say And your mother called last Friday Sunshine made her cry And you felt the baby move just yesterday (Repeat chorus then) (Bridge) And all the time that I can lay this tired old body down To feel your fingers feather soft upon me The kisses that I live for The love that lights my way The happiness that living with you brings me It's the sweetest thing i know of Just spending time with you It's the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove And it's the light in your eyes that makes me warm (Repeat chorus then) (Tag) I said hey it's good to be back home again... |

I've been out on this highway now
Five days in a row My words all run together My feet are movin' slow Ive got to stop and eat While its still light There's a local angel sitting on my right Do you believe in love at first sight Baby, you look good to me tonight I'm ordinarily very shy And I'd be polite if I had time Baby, you look good to me tonight Tomorrow, Ill be good and gone Please don't make me wait that long Baby, you look good to me tonight I get off at eleven, she said And walked away She poured a cup of coffee and She brought it on a tray She said, It would be nice if you could stay You're the best idea I've had all day Usually I put up a fight but Baby, you look good to me tonight Well I'm ordinarily very shy But I grinned at her as I ate my pie Baby, you look good to me tonight I thought I must be in a dream When she asked me if I wanted cream Baby, you look good to me tonight All in all you know It's not a bad life on the road If you've got wheels to roll And lucky stars above Your destiny's your own You go as far as you can go And if there's time to sleep There's time to make love I came, I saw, I conquered But I rode off in the sun But I know the look she left with me Keeps telling me she won Her face is the only thing I see Whispering those words of prophesy I may come easy, but I don't come free You're never gonna see the last of me Baby, you look good to me tonight I was born to love you now cant you see Baby, you look good to me tonight I'm ordinarily very shy But I take the time to satisfy Baby, you look good to me tonight |

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you the day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always... |

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Travelled by many remembered by few Lookin' for something that I can believe in Lookin' for something that I'd like to do with my life There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me To somethin' that might have been true yesterday Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more Than enough to just be here today And I don't know what the future is holdin' in store I don't know where I'm goin', I'm not sure where I've been There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me My life is worth the livin', I don't need to see the end Sweet, sweet surrender Live, live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet, sweet surrender Live, live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Lost and alone on some forgotten highway Travelled by many remembered by few Lookin' for something that I can believe in Lookin' for something that I'd like to do with my life There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me To somethin' that might have been true yesterday Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more Than enough to just be here today And I don't know what the future is holdin' in store I don't know where I'm goin', I'm not sure where I've been There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me My life is worth the livin', I don't need to see the end Sweet, sweet surrender Live, live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet, sweet surrender Live, live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet, sweet surrender Live, live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet, sweet surrender Live, live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air |

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And drivin' down the road, I get a feelin That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, Mountain Mama Take me home, country roads Take me home, (down) country roads Take me home, (down) country roads |

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away On the road and hanging by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby Rocky Mountain high (Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept the memory Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight is turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Talk to God and listen to the casual reply Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear Of the simple things he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more More people, more scars upon the land In the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly Rocky Mountain high The Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) |

It's cold here in the city
It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday Thinking about the good times Thinking about the rain Thinking about how bad it feels alone again I'm sorry for the way things are in China I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself 'Cause you're not here with me Our friends all ask about you I say you're doing fine And I expect to hear from you almost anytime But they all know I'm crying And I can't sleep at night They all know I'm dying down deep inside I'm sorry for all the lies I told you I'm sorry for the things I didn't say But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself I can't believe you went away [break] I'm sorry if I took some things for granted I'm sorry for the chains I put on you But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself For living without you It's cold here in the city It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday |

I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night,
I was sailing on an ocean of blue. When right there by my side, much to my surprise was you. I said, come on over here baby, let me look in your eyes, let me see the very heart of you. And I couldn't believe it, to conceive that my dream would come true. Cause you said, hey there, sweet daddy, everything is all right. For miles there's not a telephone line. There's not a soul to disturb us, don't be nervous, just come and be mine. You said, let me be the end of your rainbow, let me be the stars up above. Let me be the one that you long for, darling, let me be the one that you love, oh, let me be the one that you love. And now it's four in the morning, honey, I can't sleep. I can't seem to get you out of my mind. I keep tossing and turning, yearning for the sun to shine. I'd like to send you a ticket on the dreamland express, and take you far away with me. I've got a vision of heaven and you're living there with me. Honey, let me be the end of your rainbow, let me be the stars up above. Let me be the one that you long for, darling, let me be the one that you love, oh, let me be the one that you love. |

Di di di di di la la la la la la
In a spaceship over the mountains Chasing rainbows in the setting sun Leaving heart and home for the city of angels I feel my life is undone There are pathways winding below me In pleasure I've gone where they go In the quiet stillness I can hear symphonies The loveliest music I know How can I leave you again I must be clear out of my mind Lost in a storm I've gone blind Oh, how can I leave you again Oh, it's been a long time since I've listened Still longer since I've walked with you For the first time I know what I'm missing Some answers are no longer true So I question the course that I follow I'm doubtful and deep in despair My heart is filled with impossible notions Can it be you no longer care? Still, I ride on the wings of a high wind Blowing steady and strong behind me As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain I'm a sailor who runs to the sea How can I leave you again I must be clear out of my mind Lost in a storm I've gone blind Oh, how can I leave you again |

On the road of experience,
I'm trying to find my own way. Sometimes I wish that I could fly away. When I think that I'm moving, Suddenly things stand still. I'm afraid 'cause I think they alway will. And I'm looking for space, And to find out who I am. And I'm looking to know and understand. It's a sweet, sweet dream. Sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle And sometimes I'm deep in despair. All alone in the universe, Sometimes that's how it seems. I get lost in the sadness and the screams. Then I look in the center, Suddenly everything's clear. I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams. And I'm looking for space, And to find out who I am. And I'm looking to know and understand. It's a sweet, sweet dream. Sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle And sometimes I'm deep in despair. On the road of experience, Join in the living day. If there's an answer, It's just that it's just that way. When you're looking for space, And to find out who you are. When you're looking to try and reach the stars. It's a sweet, sweet, sweet dream. Sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle And sometimes I'm deep in despair. Sometimes I fly like an eagle. Like an eagle I go flying High. |

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go There's so many times I let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go Now the time has come to leave you One more time, let me kiss you Close your eyes, I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times I won't have to say Oh, kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go But I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go |

He was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rain
Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again Bringin' a warm wind from the south, bringin' the first taste of the spring His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing: CHORUS: Oh, Montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry He never knew his father and he never did ask why He never knew the answers that would make an easy way But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand CHORUS On the eve of his 21st birthday, he set out on his own He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home Ridin' a storm across the mountains and an achin' in his heart Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start Now he never told the story of the time that he was gone Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john There was something in the city that he said he couldn't breathe There was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave CHORUS Now some say he was crazy and some are glad he's gone But some of us will miss him and we'll try to carry on Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on CHORUS x2 |

When You asked how I've been here without you
I'd like to say I've been fine and I do. But we both know the truth is hard to come by And if I told the truth, that's not quite true Some days are diamonds some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds some days are stones. Now the face that I see in my mirror More and more is a stranger to me More and more I can see there's a danger In becoming what I never thought I'd be Some days are diamonds some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds some days are stones. Some days are diamonds some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds some days are stones. |
