Clear creeks and cool mountain mornin's. Honest work out in the fields. Cornbread in my momma's kitchen. Daddy saying grace before the meal. Family ties run deep in this land. And I'm never very far from what I am. I was born country and that's what I'll always be. Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free. I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood. I was born country and this country's what I love. Moonlight and you hear beside me. Crickets serenadin' in the yard. What more could two people ask for. Laying here in love beneath the stars. Now this is where I wanna raise my kids. Just the way my mom and daddy did. 2X I was born country |

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... |

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. 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. |

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 |

(Mark Gray/James P. Pennington)
The closer you get, the further I fall I'll be over the edge now in no time at all. I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall The closer you get, the further I fall. The things that you say to me The look on your face Brings out the man in me Do I see a trace in your eyes of love The closer you get, (oh baby) the further I fall I'll be over the edge now in no time at all. I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall Could I be dreamin' Is this really real 'Cause there's something magic The way that I feel in your arms tonight. The closer you get, (oh yeah) the further I fall I'll be over the edge now in no time at all. I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall. Keep fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, keep fallin', Mm, fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fallin'. Yes, I'm fallin' (Yes, I'm fallin' Yes, I'm fallin') Yes, I'm fallin' (Yes, I'm fallin' Yes, I'm fallin') Yes, we're fallin' (Yes, we're fallin' Yes, we're fallin'). The closer you get, (oh yeah) the further I fall (um hmm) I'll be over the edge now in no time at all I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall (Um hm) The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall.

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till you get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on) It's Monday morning, he's kissin' momma goodbye He's up and gone with the sun Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler And he's off on a midwest run As three sad faces gather round momma They ask her when daddy's comin' home Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler And they sure miss him when he's gone (yeah they do) Ah, but he calls them everynight and he tells them that he loves them And he taught them this song to sing (chorus) Roll on highway, Roll on along Roll on daddy till ya get back home Roll on family, Roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on) It's Wednesday evening, momma's waitin by the phone It rings but it's not his voice Seems the highway patrol has found a jacknifed rig In a snow bank in Illinois But the driver was missin' and the search had been abandoned For the weather had everything strong And they had checked all the houses and local motels When they had somemore news they'd call And she told them when they found him to tell him that she loved him And she hung up the phone singin' (chorus) Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till ya get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long Thinkin' nothing but the words just comin' With the ringin' of the telephone Oh, but the man upstairs was listening When momma asked him to bring daddy home And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end Askin' her if she had been singin' the song, singin' (chorus) Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till ya get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler (chorus) Roll on highway, roll on along Roll on daddy till ya get back home Roll on family, roll on crew Roll on momma like I asked you to do And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on) eighteen-wheeler eighteen-wheeler eighteen-wheeler eighteen-wheeler Roll on Roll on |

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... |

Song, song of the south. Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth. Gone, gone with the wind. There ain't nobody looking back again. Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch. We all picked the cotton but we never got rich. Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat. They oughta get a rich man to vote like that. Sing it... Well somebody told us Wall Street fell But we were so poor that we couldn't tell. Cotton was short and the weeds were tall But Mr. Roosevelt's a gonna save us all. Well momma got sick and daddy got down. The county got the farm and they moved to town. Pappa got a job with the TVA He bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet. Sing it... Play it... Sing it... Song, song of the south... Gone, gone with the wind... Song, song of the south. Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth. Song, song of the south. Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth. Sing it... 2X |

We didn't know the times were lean Round our home 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 think I understand.: 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 morning rolled around We dressed up in hand-me downs Just in time, together 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. We Were Walkin' In High Cotton. |

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. |
