Rick Scott

You know how to turn me on
In a special way all your own
No one has been where you've gone in so long
Oh baby, you turn me on

Your world fits right into mine
With perfection, time after time
And my world's where you must belong
'Cause baby, you turn me on

(Spoken)
Aww baby, you turn me on
It's aways so perfect with you every time
Aww yeah, I love you

(Sang)
You know, how to turn me on
In a special way all your own
No one has been where you've gone in so long
Oh baby, you turn me on
Oh baby, you turn me on

(Spoken)
Baby you know ever way to turn me on, and on, and on
So why don't you just turn me on
'Cause you know how to turn me on...

Just like a western movie
A challenge has been made
A shot was fired in anger
And pride stepped off the train
Won't we ever stop this
Killin', me and you,
Till our hearts are up on Boot Hill
And there's nothing we can do.

Words at twenty paces,
Anger at high noon
This house ain't big enough
For both of us it's comin' soon
We'll finish off our happiness
And run hope out of town
With words at twenty paces,
Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.

How did we ever lose
The dreams we used to share
The gentle touch, the words of love,
The way we used to care
Sometimes you words
Cut like a bullet in my side
Oh, which is more important,
Wounded hearts or wounded pride.

I've got my ammunition
I know you've got yours too
We know each other's weakness
Lord, the damage we can do
Why can't we just step aside
And put our guns away
Let love come like the cavalry
Ride in and save the day.

Words at twenty paces,
Anger at high noon
This house ain't big enough
For both of us it's comin' soon
We'll finish off our happiness
And run hope out of town
With words at twenty paces,
Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.

Words at twenty paces,
Anger at high noon
This house ain't big enough for
Both of us it's comin' soon
We'll finish off our happiness
And run hope out of town
With words at twenty paces,
Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.

Words at twenty paces...

After I leave for worlds unknown
Over the borderline
Never again on earth to roam
What Will I Leave Behind.

Leave behind, Oh leave behind
What Will I Leave Behind
After I leave for worlds unknown
What Will I Leave Behind.

Will I be missed by those I love
Or have I been unkind
And have I been true to God above
What Will I Leave Behind.

(Keith Worsham/Stan Munsey, Jr./
Don Matthews/Steve Baccus)

The factories are all shut down
The shopping malls are all closed
The busy streets are all empty
Except for the falling snow
And in the small towns, in the cities
Families gather as one
'Cause the night of love and sharing
They've looked forward to has come

'Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony

But across the seas two armies
Stare down at each other's guns
Each believing in their cause enough
To die or kill the other one
But tonight there'll be no shooting,
Not a drop of blood will spill
They will cease their fire this silent night
In the name of peace and goodwill

'Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony

The city's full of manger scenes
And stores lit up in red and green.
But down the road just out of town
There's more magic to be found.
The countryside is all a-glow
With holly trees and mistletoe.
And in them woods there lives a bear
Known to all as Thistlehair.

Chorus:
Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Every little boy and girl
Out there, love Thistlehair

He comes around this time of year
Spreading lots of Christmas cheer.
The kids all love this shiny coat
And the smell of honey on his nose.
He tells them all about that star
And everything that it stands for.
The birthday we all celebrate
Is still our favorite holiday

Chorus:
Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Every little boy and girl
Out there, love Thistlehair

Wherever you find old Thistlebear
There'll be music in the air.
He dances 'round the Christmas tree
Every single New Year's eve.
Then he and all his furry friends
Gather 'Round the fire again
Singin' 'Bout those Angels' wings
Gifts of love that Christmas brings.

Chorus:
Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Every little boy and girl
Out there, love Thistlehair

Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere...

This town ain't big, this town ain't small.
It's a little of both they say.
Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A.
We sit below the Marlboro man, above the right field wall.
We do the wave all by ourself.
Hey ump, a blind man could've made that call.

Chorus:
We like our beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.

The game was close, we'll call it a win.
Go off to toast the boys again.
That local band is back in town.
They got a kinda minor league sound.
They're not that bad, they're not that good.
But all in all it's understood.
We wanna dance, they wanna play.
We wouldn't have it any other way.

Chorus:
We like our beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.

Cheap seats

Now the majors called up ol' what's his name.
And one more buildin' rises tall.
And suddenly we're all grown up.
And this old town not quite so small.
But I'll always miss the middle size town.
In the middle of the middle-west.
With no name pitchers and local bands,
And mustard and relish and all the rest.

Chorus:
We like our beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.

Cheap seats...

(Gary Chapman/Amy Grant)

Come on weather man give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers of every child like heart tonight
Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep, but it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter, I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
The only Chirstmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then I get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting,
Still I think I'm gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
It's the only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday,
It's the only place to be
A tender Tennessee Christmas,
It's the only Christmas to me

It's the only Christmas to me

Come on let us have
An every now and then
A tender Tennessee Christmas

Tender Tennessee Christmas

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, this 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 a 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 this flame inside free.

Take me down where I wanna be
Turn around, this 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.

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, this 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
Ooh oh, take me down tonight
Ooh oh, are you gonna take me, (take me)
Shake me, (shake me)
Take me down tonight.
um hum
Take me, take me...

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing, 'Alleluia'
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

You always come around this time of year with your big ole bag that's full of christmas cheer
And when it starts to snow the little boys and girls all know soon they'll hear the sound of your reindeer

Now sometimes grownups grow up to believe that you don't really come on
Christmas eve
But I don't think that's true 'cause I know I see you in sparking little eyes
Around the tree

Oh santa claus, I still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh santa claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And it's time to play ole santa clause tonight


Well I don't see how anybody could ever doubt that there's really a santa
Clause.
Not if they've ever seen a little girl with her arms wrapped around her baby
Doll, so tight both of 'em waking up mama and daddy way before daylight
And grandma and grandpa are looking young and full of life, just knowin' that
Their grandkids are gonna be alright
And mama and daddy, they'll be waitin' up to answer ole santa's call.
"cause tonight they ain't worried about the bills- lord they're just lovin'
It all

Oh santa claus, I still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh santa claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And I'll be waiting up for you tonight
Ho-ho-ho

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee

Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I saw two worlds unknown
And see beyond Thy golden throne

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let me hide myself in Thee

Come on Lord, give us rain
Come on Lord, make it rain
Come on Lord, send down some rain
Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Well, my path, it's been so dusty
I can't find my way back home
And in my heart, it's been so heavy
Sometimes it's hard to just hold on

So come on Lord, and give us rain
Come on Lord, make it rain
Come on Lord, send down some rain
Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Waters wave down in the river
We've been dry for so long
And I'm mouse on getting fit now
And we're prayin' with that song

So come on Lord, give us rain
Come on Lord, make it rain
So come on Lord, send down some rain
Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Rain, rain, rain for our souls
Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Come on Lord, make it rain
Come on Lord, give us rain
Come on Lord, send down some rain
Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Come on Lord, give us rain
Come on Lord, make it rain
Come on Lord, send down some rain
Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Come on Lord, give us rain
Come on Lord, make it rain
Come on Lord, send down some rain
Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Rain, rain, rain for our souls

Well, my buddies ask me
If I would write them a song?
That says how we're different
But how good we all get along

For Bob, he is a Baptist
And his wife, she's Cherokee
And Larry, he's a Lutheran
And his grand daddy is Greek

Well, Paul, he's Pentecostal
And his pastor prays for the sick
And Russ' daddy is a Rabbi
But we go hunting, go fish

For Carl, he is a Catholic boy
And his daddy fought in the Moor
And Jose's mom, from Lebanon
And he knows, he believes in the Lord

He believes in one big God
And one big Heaven
Oh, that's when we all want
To be going

Well Daddy, played his guitar
In churches all over the south
And Mama played piano
And sometimes she'd sing and shout

Well, sisters, sing all together
And brought the harmony out

They'd sing about one big God
And one big Heaven
Oh, that's when we all want
To be going

Well, me, I'm a believer
And I do believe
That all God's children
As far as I can see

Just need one big God
And one big Heaven
'Cause that's when we all want
To be going

And one big God
And one big Heaven
Just save a little space
For me

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...

Words and Music by Teddy Gentry

Drift off and dream in your paper-doll world.
Play with the presents from the boys and the girls.
You big day is over. The cake is all gone.
We sang you to sleep with the birthday song.

Chorus:
No. you'll never be one again.
The two's are tumbling on in.
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world.
You'll never be one again.

The toy piano is quiet in the hall as Kermie the frog sits watching it all.
And soon your legs will grow and make the tricycle go and take you away from us
all.

Chorus
Goodnight, Baby. Goodnight, Daddy.

(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.

You go out on the town feelin' alright
Leavin' me here alone you're stayin' all night
You're good to me, do something sweet
Tonight you're back out on the street
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me.

You're good to me, do something sweet
Tonight you're back out on the street
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me.

I don't blame you for havin' fun
As long as I'm your only one.

So go on out, have a time, have a good time
Don't forget, if he asks you're still mine
Don't let our love fall apart
'Cause if you do you'll break my heart
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me.

Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me.
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me.

(Don Cook/Keith Whitley)

Out here is the country there's magic in the air.
It's the middle of December there's excitement eveywhere

Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what's in your heart
And not what's in your hand

Who's the one we need to thanks
Who's the party for
Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy

There were times we didn't think
We'd make it through the year
The bankers tried to take our farms
But somehow we're still here

I don't know how our crops survived
The drought and then the rain
It must have been a miracle
How else could you explain

And who's the one we need to thanks
And who's the party for
And who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
And who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy

The Christ Child born in Bethlehem
Joesph and Mary's boy

Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what's in your heart
And not what's in your hand...

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so

Jesus loves me still today
Walking with me on my way
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so

Yes, Jesus loves me
(Yes, Jesus loves me)
Yes, Jesus loves me
(Yes, Jesus loves me)

Yes, Jesus loves me
(Yes, Jesus loves me)
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me

In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
Oh, we shall meet on that beautiful shore

There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it a-far
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there

In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blessed
And their spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessings of rest

To our bountiful Father above
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days

In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour
Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

They drove me up the hill, Thomas
I am the man
They made me carry the cross, Thomas
I am the man

I am the man, Thomas
I am the man
Look at these nail scars
Here in my hand

They crowned my head with thorns, Thomas
I am the man
They nailed me to the cross, Thomas
I am the man

I am the man, Thomas
I am the man
Look at these nail scars
Here in my hand

They pierced me in the side, Thomas
I am the man
I died on the cross, Thomas
I am the man

I am the man, Thomas
I am the man
Look at these nails scars
Here in my hand

They buried me in the tomb, Thomas
I am the man
In three days I rose, Thomas
I am the man

I am the man, Thomas
I am the man
Look at these nails scars
Here in my hand

Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

When Christ shall come with shouts of Acclamation
To take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, ?My God, how great Thou art?

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

(Ronnie Rogers)

A glowin' fire and fallin' snow,
They spark a memory
Stockings hangin', mistletoe,
Presents beneath a tree.
A happy boy wakin' up to toys,
And lookin' so surprised.
And wondering how Santa knew
Just when I closed my eyes.

It's a Homecoming Christmas,
Goin' back where it all began
Homecoming Christmas,
I wanna be there once again.
Memories so sweet and strong
And I've been gone too long
It's Christmas time and I'm goin' home.

I can see the Christmas tree
And feel the warm fireplace
Handmade decorations,
Homemade pies and cakes
Family together now
With so much love to share
A special time and I can't wait,
Can't wait to be back there.

It's a Homecoming Christmas,
Goin' back to where it all began
Homecoming Christmas,
I wanna be there once again
Memories so sweet and strong
And I've been gone too long
It's Christmas time and I'm goin' home.

It's a Homecoming Christmas,
Goin' back to where it all began
Homecoming Christmas,
I wanna be there once again
Memories so sweet and strong
And I've been gone too long
It's Christmas time and I'm goin' home.

It's Christmas time and I'm goin' home.

Going Home... Going Home...

Why should I feel discouraged?
And why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?

When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

And I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I am free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender word I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears

Though by the path He leads us
But one step I may see
His eye is on the sparrows
And I know He watches me

And I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

(Ronnie Rogers/Swain Schaefer)
Album: Alabama Christmas

Smilin' faces on city streets,
Crowded shoppers, busy feet
And every smile just seems to say,
We're having some Happy Holidays

Twinklin' lights on Christmas trees,
Kids up on Santa's knew
Busy lines on telephones,
Sending a Merry Christmas home

Bells ringing everywhere,
Season spirit in the air
Up and down the avenue,
Holiday dreams comin' true

A choir singing songs of cheer,
Carols we all love to hear
Rudolph with his glowin' nose,
Lovers under mistletoe



Postman bringin' Christmas cards,
Reindeer out in the yard
Frosty with his eyes of coal,
Presents wrapped in pretty bows

Sidewalks full of happy eyes,
Flakes fallin' from the sky
Boys and girls at the big parade
To see St. Nick up on his sleigh

The scene is set, it's beautiful,
Sounds of Peace, Joy and Love
From all of us we'd like to say,
Have yourself some Happy Holidays...

Take me back down where cool water flows, y'all.
Let me remember the things I've done:
Walk on the log where the catfish bite;
Walking along the river road at night;
Barefoot girl, dancin' in the moonlight.

I can hear the bullfrog calling me.
Wond'rin' if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Ole Brody Juniour took me over;
Said, You're gonna find a well that's colder.
If I'm a bad boss, give some ol' Green River.

Well..

Take me back down where cool water flows, y'all.
Let me remember the things I've done:
Walk on the log where the catfish bite;
Walking along the river road at night;
Barefoot girl, dancin' in the moonlight.

Well..

--- Instrumeental to fade ---

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody's feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

Well, Thought I'd call you early, make sure that you know
There's gonna be a party and I'd love for you to go
I just wanna give you'all time to get your story right
There's gonna be a party and it might last all night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

There's gonna be some music and you can sing along
I bet before the night is through they'll play our favorite song
When they play that slow dance and I'm holdin' you so tight
That's when the party's startin', baby, and it might last all night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night...

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!

Album: Alabama Christmas

There's a blanket of snow
Coverin' up the old road
To the house where I was raised
Through the window I see
The lights on the tree
And a glow from the old fireplace
Though it all looks the same
So much as changed
From the way it used to be

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Still those Christmas memories make me cry

Now the stockings are filled;
The house is still and the kids are dreamin' away
There's that old easy chair,
Me and Daddy sat there waitin' for Santa's sleigh
Now Daddy has gone but we'll carry on
'Cause the little ones will need

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Good ole Christmas Memories
Oh, they mean so much to me
Oh, Those Christmas memories, make me cry...

(Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry/Jeff Cook/Mark Herndon)

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...

Long hair was not in style
The first time I heard Haggard on the radio
But I could feel the changes comin' on
The Beatles crossed the ocean
An overnight explosion on the T.V.
My brother had to go to Vietnam.

Ford unveiled the Mustang
Things looked good in Detroit for the people there
And I could feel the changes comin' on
From Atlanta, Doctor King told the world he had a dream
People followed him
And Daddy said my hair was getting long.

I could feel the changes comin' on
People started singin' different songs
Searchin' for the place where they belong
I could feel changes comin' on.

Well, I'm still hooked on Haggard
But the Beatles can't come back like we hoped they would
In Memphis, Tennessee, The King is gone
As I put my kids to bed
Oh, I wonder what lies ahead for them to see
'Cause I can feel the changes comin' on.

I can feel the changes comin' on
People still are singin' different songs
They're searchin' for the place where they belong
I can feel changes comin' on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.

I can feel changes comin' on
People still are singin' different songs
They're searchin' for the place where they belong.
I can feel changes comin' on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and on.

I can feel, you can feel, we can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and, on.
And on, and on, and on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and on.
And on, and on, and on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on...

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

(Susan Longacre/Walt Aldridge/Gary Baker)

There's a road that I remember leading to a special place
Where the door was always open to a smiling face
There's a picture on the mantle of a boy that looks like me
It's always the same, there's a stocking with my name

And a candle in the window, a flame against the night
There's a candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window oh its Christmas in your heart, in your heart

Maybe it's just wishful thinking I can hear the sleigh bells ring
Almost taste the pie she's baking, it's Christmas Eve

There's a candle in the window,
There's a flame against the night
There's candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light
It don't take lots of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart

Wherever the years may take me no matter how far I go
There's going to be a candle burning,
It's always nice to know
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
A simple candle in the window and Christmas in your heart
your heart your heart
A candle in the window
A candle in the window...
