I was walking down Broadway
New York, New York
Tony Llama boots and a Stetson hat
Proud to be a country boy
Just then a messenger called me
Rasta man on the road
He said "You gotta get the rhythm of the islands
Help me carry my load"
Chorus:
You've got to get into Reggae Cowboy
Shuffle them boots on the street
Get into Reggae Cowboy
Feel that Reggae beat
Hey hey hey hey
His message hit me like a brick man
First I laughed, then I cried
Somewhere between Jamaica and Nashville
I realized I'd live my life
These days I sit in my garden
Soft refrains on a steel guitar
Beautiful rhythms on the tradewinds
Blowing in to a Florida farm
Repeat Chorus
Pine trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine
A young boy steals his daddy's fishin' line
An aligator lays on the banks of a river bed
And if you didn't know any better you'd swear he's dead.
Chorus:
Now these are a few things I'm in love with
A small part of the reason I go back
To Carolina, Mississsippi, Florida, gorgeous Georgia
Now if you think I'm happy down there you're on the right track.
And you ain't just whistlin' Dixie
You ain't just slappin' your knee
I'm a grandson of the southland boys
An heir to the Confederacy.
You ain't just whistlin' Dixie
'Cause the cattle call's callin' me home
So put me down there where I wanna be
Plant my feet with Robert E. Lee
Bury my bones under a cypress tree
And never let me roam.
And you ain't just whistlin' Dixie
You ain't just slappin' your knee
I'm a grandson of the southland boys
An heir to the Confederacy.
Cotton balls gleam and the cow gives cream
For the baby's sake
Pa comes in full of gin
And he's mean as a rattlesnake.
And if the well runs dry
And we cry and cuss the garden hose
Mama draws a bucket full of creek water
Just to wash our clothes.
Chorus:
Now these are a few things I'm in love with
A small part of the reason I go back
To Carolina, Mississsippi, Florida, gorgeous Georgia
When she asked me to dance I said, "I have two left feet."
And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
And she said, "Hold me as close as you can 'til my bodies on fire."
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
So we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel
And I really can't translate the way she made me feel
And the music played on and the mercury just went higher
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
We did the samba, the mambo
The tango, the two-step while we romanced
And when the music got fast
We just held to each other and slow danced.
--- Instrumental ---
I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night
And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the light
She said, "Dance with me darlin' 'til the moon and the stars retire."
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
She's a little old-fasioned
She's a little new way
She's got her own kind of passion
And I'm glad to say
That I'm a lucky guy
She's standin' by
Can't you see, lucky me
And I really only wanna say
No one on this earth
Does what she does for me
Uh, uh, uh.
She looks so innocent
Sippin' champagne
Or gettin' her new dress wet
In the pourin' rain
But when she takes me home
And we're all alone
Can't you see, lucky me
And I really only wanna say
I can't begin to say what she does for me
Uh, uh, uh.
Chorus:
She's the world's greatest lover
And the way she holds me
I know there's no other
She's that kind of girl, a passionate girl
She's the world's greatest lover
And I'm never gonna let her go
No I'm never gonna let her go away
Uh, uh, uh...
You know, she looks so convincing
Walkin' down the street
Incognito, lookin' prim and sweet
But she is dynamite, ready to ignite
Just for me, lucky me
& I really just wanna scream
But I keep it a secret
How she fulfills my dreams
Uh, huh, huh.
Chorus:
She's the world's greatest lover
And the way she holds me
I know there's no other
She's that kind of girl, a passionate girl
She's the world's greatest lover
And I'm never gonna let her go
No I'm never gonna let her go away
Searching for meaning sure can leave you cold
Calling out for comfort can turn a young man old
Standing at the crossroads gets to be a full time job
Believing can be like facing an angry mob
But I will not lose face in my sweet Lord
On the wings of the wind he will carry us home
Til our journey will end on heaven's shore
Will his life for safe passage We will never more roam
We will fly to him on the wings on the wing
My back against the wall staring at the end
Howling like a mongel praying for a friend
Then I feel his pressence setting my soul free
Battling the devil just to keep him away from me
I know in my heart I'm not alone
On the wings of the wind he will carry us home
Til our journey will end on heaven's shore
Will his life for safe passage We will never more roam
We will fly to him on the wings on the wing
On the wings of the wind he will carry us home
Til our journey will end on heaven's shore
Will his life for safe passage We will never more roam
We will fly to him on the wings on the wing
We will fly to him on the wings on the wing
We will fly to him on the wings on the wing
Hey, did you happen to see
The most beautiful girl in the world
And if you did was she crying, crying
Hey, if you happen to see
The most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I’m sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh won't you tell her that I love her
I woke up this morning, realised what I had done
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn
I knew I’d lost my morning sun
I lost my head and I said some things
Now come the heartaches that the morning brings
I know I’m wrong but I couldn't see
I let my world slip away from me
So hey, did you happen to see
The most beautiful girl in the world
And if you did was she crying, crying
Hey, if you happen to see
The most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I’m sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh won't you tell her that I love her
If you happen to see
The most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I’m sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Oh won't you tell her that I love her
If you happen to see
The most beautiful girl that walked out on me
Tell her I’m sorry
Tell her I need my baby
Coffee black, cigarette
Start this day like all the rest
First thing in the morning that I do
Start missing you
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
My love for you will never die
Rendezvous in the night
A willing woman to hold me tight
And in the middle of love's embrace
I see your face
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
My love for you will never die
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
My love for you will never die
El dolor que siempre sentiré
Mi amor, y es que nunca olvidaré
Lagrimas que no se secaran
Mi amor por ti no morirá
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
My love for you will never die
Some broken hearts never mend
Some memories never end
Some tears will never dry
Well, she sits there in the porch swing
On a hot afternoon in Georgia
Surveys everything on Daddy’s lap
And the gentlemen callers come by
To tell her that she’s gorgeous
One by one they ask her for her hand
But her mind has slipped away
More than a hundred years
No-one in this century
Can get to her from here
She’s gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if she’d only let me in
But she’s gone with the wind
Well, she dreams of white plantations
With ballrooms just for dancing
From a time when romance made girls’ hearts beat fast
She’s looking down that dirt road
For a handsome rebel soldier
Home from war to her arms, safe at last
I volunteer my love
To save her from herself
But if she can’t have terror
She don’t want nobody’s help
She’s gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if she’d only let me in
But she’s gone with the wind, she’s gone with the wind
It all becomes so real
She feels just like that Southern belle
She swears that she was there
The night Atlanta burned like hell
She’s gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if she’d only let me in
But she’s gone with the wind, she’s gone with the wind
She’s gone with the wind, swept by the rain
Living in another time, lord it must bring her pain
I could be a Southern man if she’d only let me in
I wish I was a millionaire
I'd play rock music and grow long hair
I tell you boys I'd buy a new Rolls Royce.
Pretty women'd come to me I'd give 'em all the third degree
I'd give 'em Satin Sheets to keep 'em off the streets.
Hallelujah
let me sook it to ya
Praise the Lord and pass the tambourine
Great Jehova
you'll come over
As soon as you see me boogie-woogie
'Cross the silver screen.
I can hang 'em high or hang 'em low
I'd put 'em in the ceilings wherever I'd go
And swing all night from the rafter lights.
Hallelujah
let me sook it to ya
. . .
I wish you was a millionaire
. . .
Hallelujah
let me sook it to ya
Her turquoise lips kiss me like a lover.
Her silver eyes see right through my veins.
Her Indian heart asks when I'll return to her.
Her Spanish soul begs me to remain.
And no one that I've ever known can move me like she does.
No, it's not a woman that I love.
Santa Fe Santa Fe.
I have been here in your arms and now I want to stay.
Santa Fe Santa Fe.
I won't sleep 'till I'm back in Santa Fe.
Her sunrise could bring light into a blind man.
Her sunset could put tears there in his eyes.
Her colors are laying there in brush strokes.
Underneath those peote skies.
The lay of the land stirs all of my emotions.
She heals me with a laid back energy.
She holds onto my broken lifeless spirit.
And molds me just like pottery.
And nowhere that I've ever been can make me feel this way.
That's why I'm going there to stay.
Santa Fe Santa Fe
I have been there in your arms, now I want to stay.
Santa Fe Santa Fe
I won't sleep 'till I'm back Santa Fe.
Santa Fe
We were there in the back seat 'cause we couldn't go home
We were too young to pay the rent
I was working on the mechanics of the cross-your-heart bra
LBJ was the president.
My pal Travis asked me the next day he said,
"Was it hard to score?"
I lied to him and said, "It was a snap!"
And we laughed as we walked out the door.
Chorus:
We were rebels without a clue
Didn't know where to go or what to do
And the whole generation was feeling it too
We were rebels without a clue.
Buddy Holly was gone and we drank all night long
And listened to his songs
Where do you go in the summer of your junior year
To learn the difference between right and wrong?
Me and the boys just wanted some girls
But we were scared to try a little tenderness
So we souped up our cars and fought in the bars
Like that was gonna get us kissed.
Chorus:
We were rebels without a clue
Didn't know where to go or what to do
And the whole generation was feeling it too
We were rebels without a clue.
Now we got station wagon,
Now we got kids
Still we have no idea
Why we did what we did.
Now we laugh at the predjudicism and we laugh at the punks
And the business men who have fried
And we go around bettin' things would've been a lot different
If James Dean and Elvis hadn't died.
Travis called me up the other day he said,
"Remember that summer at the lake
Where we broke every rule, said the hell with school
'Cause we had had all we could take?"
Chorus:
We were rebels without a clue
Didn't know where to go or what to do
And the whole generation was feeling it too
We were rebels without a clue.
Chorus:
We were rebels without a clue
Didn't know where to go or what to do
And the whole generation was feeling it too
Daylight comes crashing through
It shakes you up, it brings you to
And it can bring you down
We traded some innocent lies
But it still hurts when you realise
It wasn’t love we found
It really wasn’t love we found
And lonely eyes only see what they’re crying for
And lonely eyes only see what they want to see
You look so long, you look so hard, but night is a blinding disguise
So sometimes it looks like love through lonely eyes
Darkness can do you harm
Your heart is dying, keep it warm
Don’t let it turn to stone
Searching, when will it end
You reach out, you just can’t spend
Another night alone
Not one more lonely night alone
And lonely eyes only see what they’re crying for
And lonely eyes only see what they want to see
You look so long, you look so hard, but night is a blinding disguise
So sometimes it looks like love through lonely eyes
Ooh, you’re some kind of lady
Ooh, come see me again
You know we’re friends
Girl, you know we’re friends
And lonely eyes only see what they’re crying for
And lonely eyes only see what they want to see
You look so long, you look so hard, but night is a blinding disguise
So sometimes it looks like love through lonely eyes
And lonely eyes only see what they’re crying for
And lonely eyes only see what they want to see
You look so long, you look so hard, but night is a blinding disguise
There's another kind of living
And we're getting what we're giving
Can't you see there's lovin' in the air.
Strangers in paradise
Tenderness in your eyes
Angels of darkness take care.
Get me rockin', get me rearin'
Let me feel that special feeling
Of loving makes our hearts beat strong
Baby touch my soul and listen
To that ever lasting song.
Then let your feelings find a way
It's okay, On a summer night
It's a dawning of forgotten dreams
And it seems everything is right, for romance.
You can blame it on the stars above
When it's love on a summer night
There's a fire burning deep inside
We'll let it happen tonight.
Baby, we can really make it
We can losse it, find it, take it
Can't you see there's magic all around?
It's only you and me
We can fly high and free
Baby, I won't let you down.
Tell me all the dreams you're missing
We will find them while we're kissing
And we'll make those fairy tales come true
So come closer baby blue eyes
I've got lots of love for you.
Then let your feelings find a way
It's okay, on a summer night
It's a dawning of forgotten dreams
And it seems everything is right, for romance.
You can blame it on the stars above
When it's love on a summer night
There's a fire burning deep inside
We'll let it happen tonight.
Then let your feelings find a way
It's okay, On a summer night
It's a dawning of forgotten dreams
And it seems everything is right, for romance.
You can blame it on the stars above
When it's love on a summer night
There's a fire burning deep inside
We'll let it happen tonight.
On a summer night.
On a summer night.
We were sixteen at the most
McCartney was our holy ghost
And we were sure our smiles would never turn to tears
Eighteen caught us pretty fast
Legal to make love at last
Something we'd been playing with for years.
Yeah life was great in '65
Made this boy feel so alive
Growing up made something go all wrong
It seemed all the ways of the world
Look away from the thoughts of a pretty girl
Now I wanna go back to catch up in this song.
Chorus:
I don't want nothing heavy
Just my baby in the back of my Chevy
Little loving on the weekends make me feel alright
I don't want nothing heavy
Just my baby in the back of my Chevy
To kiss away my blues in the full moon light.
So life became an conglomination
Of mamas ways and a woodstock nation
I was so confused no where to turn
And then my lady got so psychodelic
No reasons left to be angelic
Now I wanna kindle the flame that used to burn.
Chorus:
I don't want nothing heavy
Just my baby in the back of my Chevy
Little loving on the weekends make me feel alright
I don't want nothing heavy
Just my baby in the back of my Chevy
To kiss away my blues in the full moon light.
Chorus:
I don't want nothing heavy
Just my baby in the back of my Chevy
Little loving on the weekends make me feel alright
I don't want nothing heavy
Just my baby in the back of my Chevy
Well I could apologize but it might be too late for that.
This time you could define it as more than just a lover's spat.
So I'll drink and think about what you told me I could do.
But after I go to hell, can I come on home to you?
I knew that other woman was as poison as they come.
But she flashed that sexy smile at me,
And like a man I acted dumb.
Though she offered me her body, I swear,
I could not go through.
So after I go to hell, can I come on home to you?
Is there something I can say,
Are there any feelings left inside?
Could we just rewind the time,
Before we say goodbye?
I guess there is no explanation that you ain't already heard.
So I'll be headin' down to Hades' to heed your every word.
And I'll walk barefoot on the brimstone,
Just to prove I can be true.
But after I go to hell, can I come on home to you?
Driving along on that endless road
just headin' for the silver sky.
Rolling along to a brand new song
dreamin' up another lie.
Through mountains in to canyons where rivers run below.
Still movin' down that highway
lookin' for a place to go.
'Cause I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm a ridin' that freedom road.
A neon cowboy and your tears are my only load.
Always lookin' for that rainbow where ever I may roam
a Neon Cowboy's always comin' home.
I watch T.V. in my motel room
till I lose the light of day.
Then I slip into a six pack dream and drink the night away.
The city lights are flashin' and I'm starin' at the phone
but it's much late for callin'
feelin' like I'm far too gone.
'Cause I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm a ridin' that freedom road.
A neon cowboy and your tears are my only load.
Always lookin' for that rainbow where ever I may roam
a Neon Cowboy's always comin' home.
I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm a ridin' that freedom road.
A neon cowboy and your tears are my only load.
Far beyond the blue horizon where ever I may roam
your Neon Cowboy's always on the run.
I'm a Neon Cowboy and I'm out on this road alone.
A neon cowboy in my heart I can feel your song.
I'm still look in for that rainbow where ever I may roam
Well, the white man came, and killed off the Buffalo
The Sioux and the Cheyenne, felt the pain
The Suni and the Blackfoot, Shoshone and the Navaho
Dwellers in the pueblos, and in tee-pees on the plains.
I wanna fly where the Eagle has been
Like a native American, native American.
Now the Medicine man seeks a vision from the rain and sun
The ghost of Geromino, lives on through the years
Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull showed Custer who was number one
While the Cherokee nation, cried a trail of tears.
I wanna die on sacred land
Like a native American, native American.
Now the red man walks in the Paleface moccasins
The Great Spirit weeps for the days of old
The last Mohican calls his brothers together again
The Crow and the Iroquois and the Seminole.
I wanna ride, ride like the wind, Like a native american.
I wanna dance with the Wolf my friend, Like a native american.
I wanna fly where the Eagle has been, Like a native american.
Well, it's a story that's been told before
But this time there's a twist
I woke up to an empty room devoid of joy and bliss
I know I don't deserve no sympathy but I think it's a sin
My wife left me for my girlfriend.
Like thelma and Louise they took off in the dead of the night
A ninty-one suburban with a loaded forty-five
Well, I called up the authority, where would I begin
My wife left me for my girlfriend.
She was the sweetest thing on earth, always so true
She loved me with a passion, yeah, my wife did too
I guess they figured out what was going on and had enough of it
My wife left me for my girlfriend.
Now, I know what you gals are thinking
Yeah, that bastard got what he deserved
And in the battle of the sexes the lines have surely gotten blurred
But I just want the both of them to came back home again
My wife left me for my girlfriend.
Well, I even asked my lawyer, he said, "Son, it seems to be a trend."
Let's roll America
There's a job to be done
Let's roll America
There's a battle to be won
Wake up America
You're too young to die
Let's roll America
'Cuz the good lord's on our side
When the cry went out on 9-1-1
A hero heard the call
There was terror in the skies above
With little time to stall
Then he rang his wife and family
To say he loved them so
Then he told the other passengers
"Let's Roll"
Let's roll America
There's a job to be done
Let's roll America
There's a battle to be won
Wake up America
You're too young to die
Let's roll America
'Cuz the good lord's on our side
Well, we grew up quick
And we grew up fast
On the fair September day
And the flags unfurled
And the whole wide world
Began to kneel and pray
And we pledged allegiance once again
Like we did when we were in school
And we stood as one
For the old Red, White and Blue
Let's roll America
There's a job to be done
Let's roll America
There's a battle to be won
Wake up America You're too young to die
Let's roll America
'Cuz the good lord's on our side
We will not waiver
We will not falter
We will not tire
We will not fail
In the land of the free
We will prevail
Let's roll America
There's a job to be done
Let's roll America
There's a battle to be won
Heads up America
You're too young to die
Let's roll America
There's a reason for the sunshinin' sky
And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high
Must be the season when that
Love light shines all around us
So, let that feelin' grab you deep inside
And send you reelin' where your love can't hide
And then go stealin' through the
Moonlit nights with your lover
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you to all livin' things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candlelights
Must be the season when those
Love lights shine all around us
So, let that wonder take you into space
And lay you under its loving embrace
Just feel the thunder as it warms your face
You can't hold back
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you to all livin' things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you to all livin' things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason
Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
Our daddies won the war then they came home to our mom's.
They gave 'em so much love that us kids were born.
We all grew up on Mickey Mouse and hula hoops.
Then we all bought BMW's and new pick-up trucks.
And we watched John Kennedy die one afternoon.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
It was a time of new prosperity in the USA.
All us fortunate offspring never had to pay.
We had sympathy for the devil and the Rolling Stones.
Then we got a little older, we found Haggard and Jones.
A generation screaming for room.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
Kids of the Baby Boom,
We have freedom, we have money.
Baby Boom, here in the land of milk and honey.
Counting our chickens way too soon.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
Now we all can run computers and we all can dance.
We all have Calvin Klein written on our underpants.
And at 6 o'clock like robots we turn on the news.
And watch those-world countries deal out more abuse.
Remember the first man on the moon.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
Kids of the Baby Boom,
We have freedom, we have money.
Baby Boom, here in the land of milk and honey.
Counting our chickens way too soon.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
As our lives become a capsule we send to the stars,
Our children look at us like we came from Mars.
As the farms disappear and the skies turns black,
We're a nation full of takers, never giving back.
We never stop to think what we consume.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
We have freedom, we have money.
Baby Boom, here in the land of milk and honey.
Counting our chickens way too soon.
Kids of the Baby Boom.
Our optimism mingles with the doom.
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I’ll find comfort, god knows
Cos you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most
Now most every morning I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I’d like to send
If you would just send one to me
Cos I need you more than I needed before
And now where I’ll find comfort, god knows
Cos you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way
Now I love you more than I loved you before
And now where I’ll find comfort, god knows
Cos you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
Well it seems like more and more were being stifled.
All them colorful words I once used are wrong
So before we lose our free speech and our rifles
Allow me to elaborate in this song
Chorus
Life aint like a bowl of cherries,
There's too little laughter and too much sorrow.
It's more like a jar of jalapenos,
Cause what you do and say today, It don't go away and stay
It'll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow.
I've heard them politicians empty promises.
All their views just put mine to the test
They put me down for thinkin bout girls and singin bout Jesus
Hey I'm just a heterosexual white boy Methodist
Chorus
Life aint like a bowl of cherries,
There's too little laughter and too much sorrow.
It's more like a jar of jalapenos,
Cause what you do and say today, It don't go away and stay.
It'll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow
Now there's a complicated question
on the worlds most brilliant minds.
It's being asked by every body from Obama, to Glenn Beck.
They all want to know why there's a warning,
on them little blue pills
When there aint no such thing as being too direct,
Oh, what the heck.
Chorus
Life aint like a bowl of cherries,
There's too little laughter and too much sorrow.
It's more like a jar of jalapenos.
Cause what you do and say today, It don't go away and stay
It'll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow.
Cause what you do and say today, It don't go away and stay
It'll just come back and burn your ass tomorrow.
If I said you had a beautiful body - Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel, - Would you treat me like the devil
tonight
If I were dying of thirst - Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body - Would you hold it against me
Now we can talk all night about the weather
Tell you 'bout my friends out on the coast
I could ask a lot of crazy questions
Or I could ask what I really want to know
If I said you had a beautiful body - Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel, - Would you treat me like the devil
tonight
If I were dying of thirst - Would your flowing love come quench me
If I said you had a beautiful body - Would you hold it against me
Now rain can fall so soft against the window
The sun can shine so bright up in the sky
But daddy always told me, "Don't make small talk"
He said, "Come on out and say what's on your mind"
If I said you had a beautiful body - Would you hold it against me
If I swore you were an angel, - Would you treat me like the devil
tonight
If I were dying of thirst - Would your flowing love come quench me
A young girl’s dreams, they come of age
But she has never turned the page
She’s put it off for so long
She never thought she’d feel so strong now
She’s ready to leave her troubles behind
A man like me has seen the score
I watch the waves crash on the shore
A midnight breeze is blowing
We leave the movie knowing
We’re both needing so much more
I’ll give you all my love tonight
Baby the time has come
This can’t be wrong, it feels so right
Any time you question what you feel
You never see what’s real
Baby take a good look at me
It’s hard erasing all that doubt
But we know one thing baby we just can’t live without
We put it off for so long
Now we’re feeling so strong
And following our hearts will make it right
I’ll give you all my love tonight
Baby the time has come
This can’t be wrong, it feels so right
Any time you question what you feel
You never see what’s real
Baby take a good look at me
I’ll give you all my love tonight
Baby the time has come
This can’t be wrong, it feels so right
Any time you question what you feel
You never see what’s real
Baby take a good look at me
I’ll give you all my love tonight
I wish I had you, with me this evening
Here by the fire, where embers blow
I will protect you, and I would love you
More than a man, has loved before
But when your away, the sun starts crying
The rain falls down, from a cloudless sky
I need your passion, to stir my spirit
I need your relish, here in my eyes
I wish I had you, there in the meadow
That field of green, where you took my breath
We laid together, and talked loving
And joined our souls, beyond our days
But when your away, the sun starts crying
The rain falls down, from a cloudless sky
I need your passion, to stir my spirit
I need your relish, here in my eyes
Hearts burning like they were on fire
Flames changing our love to desire
Babe, my heart is screaming to say
Girl, we got to go all the way
I need more of you changing my rain into sun
More of you putting my blues on the run
I need more of you, darling I need more of you
More, anything less wouldn't do
We ain't been together too long
Strange, how did our love get so strong
There's nothing to keep us apart
We got to catch up to our hearts
I need more of you changing my rain into sun
More of you putting my blues on the run
I need more of you, darling I need more of you
More, anything less wouldn't do
I need more of you changing my rain into sun
More of you putting my blues on the run
I need more of you, darling I need more of you
I love you like the skies loves blue
And I need you, girl, you know I do
And I want you, how could you ignore
That I love you more and more and more?
I can tell by the look in your eyes you don't love me no more
You don't talk anymore, you don't laugh like we did before
Baby, please don't you leave this way, this is what I have to say
Let us take a chance now if it's just another day.
I love you like the skies loves blue
And I need you, girl, you know I do
And I want you how can you ignore
That I love you more and more and more?
Now that you closed your heart I can see
There's so much you can learn
Please don't leave me alone in the night when I got the blues
Baby, please let me change your mind, memories are hard to find
Let us keep the sunshine, let us leave those tears behind.
'Cause I love you like the skies loves blue
And I need you, girl, you know I do
And I want you how can you ignore
That I love you more and more and more?
I did wrong but I still can't believe broken feelings won't heal
And I learned by the ache in my heart love's no hand shake deal
Now, I know that is all I've got, you say, "maybe", I say, "but"
Baby, we had trouble but instead we'll say, "so what".
I love you like the skies loves blue
And I need you, girl, you know I do
And I want you how can you ignore
That I love you more and more and more?
Turn the radio up
it's time to get down
Feeling high on the hopes in the wind
Your first lover to love and the lightning above
Taking off to where you've never been
Stick your cares in the air
you can go anywhere
When you're lookin' for the rainbow's end
Follow your nose
you're a rambling rose
And it might be just around the bend
Hang on to your dreams
On that highway 2-18
Live everyday
love it away
There's is a whole world you've never seen
Hang on to your dreams
On that highway 2-18
It's great to be young with a song in your lung
So hang on to your dreams
Let the rhythm roll on
let the wheels go 'round
The sky flying by is your friend
And chasing the blue comes natural to you
So now is the time to begin
Sling your fate to the preeze
You can do what you please
sing it out like a mandolin
Trust in your toes 'cause they knows where they goes
They're just following the feeling within . . .
Hang on to your dreams
I was driving out of town
after she had turned me down
'cos I didn't have a reason to stay
baby
my love was in vain.
Took aboat to paradise
got away and closed my eyes
felt the reggae rhythm deep in my heart.
baby
I can't stand the pain.
There's always a place to stay
Hemingway hideaway
a tropical dream come true
a place made for me and you.
Just follow the sun
we will be one we'll lay in the sand
and our love will be true
just follow me
follow me
to Hemingway Hemingway
Hemingway hideaway.
I am hiding out of sight
where the night is always bright
and the moon is melting out in the sea
baby
there's salt in my tears.
I got lost out on the beach
and the truth is out of reach
all the dreams are riding down on a wave.
baby
I wish you were here.
There's always a place to stay
Hemingway hideaway
a tropical dream come true
a place made for me and you.
Just follow the sun
we will be one we'll lay in the sand
and our love will be true
just follow me
follow me
to Hemingway Hemingway
Hemingway hideaway.
Hey there, lonely girl
If you've been too long at home
And your mind is on
The brink of vertigo
And your old man
He's so spaced out, he don't know
What to do or where to go
You got to get him up
You got to let that sucker know
That your top has just erupted
You got to get him out
You got to get him on the go
Even if you threaten to bust him
[CHORUS]
Ooh, you got a little hellcat in you
And you got to say what you got to say
Ooh, you got a little hellcat in you
And you're gonna get your way
Now if you're miserable
And you're sitting in a dream that
Your feet are somewhere else dancing
You got to let 'em go to that
Nightclub way day downtown
Where the boys are always so handsome
[Repeat CHORUS]
Treat 'em bad like you know you should
And pretty soon, he's gonna treat you good
You'll be dining out with kings and queens
And he's never ever gonna treat you mean
You're the only one, whose ever hurt my soul
I might be lonely now, but I won't be lonely long
Take a look at me baby, tell me what do you see
Take a look at me baby, you're looking at a brand new me
I'm like a total stranger, knocking at your door
But there's no need to worry, about the way I was before
It's a new lovestory, so read every line
You be the judge and the jury
I'm guilty of the crime
Chorus:
I'm guilty of... I'm guilty of the crime
Yes I'm guilty of... guilty of the crime
Solo
I'm saving all my loving just for you
Cause there's nothing more, that I would rather do
It's a new lovestory, so read every line
You be the judge and the jury
Cause I'm guilty of the crime
Chorus
It started with a smile and a brush of your hair
Though we got a little close, there was no slow dance
How the world seems to spin around just for me and you
It took us by surprise when it hit us in our hearts
Such unbridled passion from an innocent start
It stunned us for awhile but now we know what we're gonna do
Gonna make it last, gonna make some dreams come true.
Chorus:
We've been feelin' the feelin'
From a shine up above
We've been steadily steelin'
Wvery moment we can
'Cause we can't get enough
We've been feelin' the feelin'
Flyin' on the wings of a dove
We've been feelin' the feelin'
And the feelin' is love.
Well, the clouds rolled back and the sun broke through
And the earth seemed to move when I whispered to you
Darlin', we woke up this feelin' from it's lonely sleep
When I say I love you, I mean I love you so deep.
Chorus:
We've been feelin' the feelin'
From a shine up above
We've been steadily steelin'
Wvery moment we can
'Cause we can't get enough
We've been feelin' the feelin'
Flyin' on the wings of a dove
We've been feelin' the feelin'
And the feelin' is love.
Chorus:
We've been feelin' the feelin'
From a shine up above
We've been steadily steelin'
Wvery moment we can
'Cause we can't get enough
We've been feelin' the feelin'
Flyin' on the wings of a dove
We've been feelin' the feelin'
I hear people talkin' about going "cold turkey"
Dryin' out, checkin' into Betty Ford
But I just can't relate to all those strange addictions
'Cause my drug problem never went ignored.
Chorus:
You see I was drug to Church on Sunday morning
I was drug to family reunions
I was drug to Grandpa's farm to work every summer
And I was drugged to weddings and to funerals
I was drug out the door to go to school (everyday)
I was drug by my ears when I was bad
When I disobeyed my parents or my teacher
I was drug to the wood she'd by my Dad
And those drugs are still running through my veins
Still affecting everything I do and say
And if kids today had those kind of drug problems
I believe the world would be a better place.
--- Instrumental ---
I won't claim I grew up to be perfect (far from it)
But every time I start to make a slip
I can see Daddy reaching for the good book
And hear those prayers roll from Mama's lips.
That's why I count my blessings every evening
And pray to the good Lord up above
And thank him for giving me a drug problem
And a home and a family filled with love.
Chorus:
Yea, I was drug to Church on Sunday morning
I was drug to family reunions
I was drug to Grandpa's farm to work every summer
And I was drugged to weddings and to funerals
I was drug out the door to go to school (everyday)
I was drug by my ears when I was bad
When I disobeyed my parents or my teacher
I was drug to the wood she'd by my Dad
And those drugs are still running through my veins
Still affecting everything I do and say
And if kids today had those kind of drug problems
I believe the world would be a better place.
Chorus:
You see, I was drug to Church on Sunday Morning
I was drug to family reunions
I was drug to Grandpa's farm to work every summer
And I was drugged to weddings and to funerals
I was drug out the door to go to school (everyday)
I was drug by my ears when I was bad
Long blonde hair, sky blue eyes
Yeah that well-bred look is easy to recognize
A tailored dress, a fit so fine
And it adds up to the question on my mind
Chorus:
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
Can you satisfy your man, like your body says you can?
Judging from the cover, I'd love to read the book
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
If you could read my mind, you might blush blood-red
But then again you might come over here instead
I see they brought your check and soon you're bound to go
If I don't make my move right now, I may never know
Chorus:
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
Can you satisfy your man, like your body says you can?
Judging from the cover, I'd love to read the book
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
--- Instrumental ---
Judging from the cover, I'd love to read the book
Honey, do you love as good as you look?
We like boots and saddles
We love girls and guitars
We let romance and passion
Turn our heads and rule our hearts
Old bandanas and blue jeans
Campfires burnin' like stars
It's a song about all the things
We live and what we are.
Dancin' cowboys, singin' horses
Gypsy music, ringin' voices
Dancin' cowboys, singin' horses
Gypsy music, songs about love.
We got home in our hearts babe
Got the road in our blood
Got a cowgirl in every single town
Our name ain't mud
We like pistols and stetsons
Dance halls and cafes
Now you know where we're comin' from
Come and dance the night away.
Dancin' cowboys, singin' horses
Gypsy music, ringin' voices
Dancin' cowboys, singin' horses
Gypsy music, songs about love.
Yeah, dancin' cowboys, singin' horses
Gypsy music, ringin' voices
Dancin' cowboys, singin' horses,
Gypsy music, songs about love.
Songs about love.
Sleep some nights it just don't show
When you've pushed and life won't go
Your dreams get lost and your sorrows grow
You read and try to watch T.V. take a drive out to the sea
You might break down but you can't break free.
Standin' in the crossfire
hangin' from a live wire.
Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind.
Standin' in the crossfire
stranded on a high wire
Runnin' for a reason
lookin' for a friend.
Dream your eyes are almost blind
They photograph your mind
And leave a trace of her love in time.
Night's
you live the smokey past
Try to break the spell she cast.
You start out first but you end up last.
Standin' in the crossfire
Hillbillies talkin' 'bout turnip greens
Cornbread, sweetpatatos, pork and beans
Country roads farm and ranch
Drink a little creek water from the branch
We got pickup trucks chicken clucks
Happy even when we're down on our luck
We got fatback that's a fact
And if you don't know that's a country rap.
Neighbor down the roads got a cow for sale
Twenty dollars more you get the horns and tail
Saturday night we're goanna go get drunk
Something in the road smells like a skunk.
Steel guitars rowdy bars
Redneck girls and beat-up cars
We got fatback that's a fact
And if you don't know that's a country rap.
Sunday morning catch a speckled perch
Been bad all week I got to go to church
That afternoon it's all you please
Fried chicken mash patatas black-eyed peas.
Bumper sticker says lets rodeo
Find me a hunny say hay lets go
We got fatback that's a fact
And if you don't know that's a country rap.
Cowboy's talking about his quarter horse
Pig farmers talking bout his pigs of course
Sheeps and goats calf ropein' daughter
How his son sings cool cool water.
Alligator crawling round way down south
Turn me around shut my mouth
We got fatback that's a fact
And if you don't know that's a country rap.
Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway
Somewhere between here and where I'd been
And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win.
Chorus:
And now I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
Now I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox
And a steel guitar just beggin' me to cry
And those barroom ladies smilin' by the dozen
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time.
Chorus:
And now I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
Now I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately
I'll be damned if I'll believe that lining shines.
Chorus:
And now I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
Now I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
Chorus:
And now I'm lost and lonesome
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
Now I'm lost and lonesome
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
I hit the road to California down highway number one
In my heart and in my mind my country lady
I know every single station, they play the same old song
And I know I’m on the way where I belong
Blue, blue, blue California
All I wanna do is get on back to you
Blue, blue, blue California
You’re the only one to make my dream come true
Long ago I had to leave you cos I really had no choice
I was living every night and day for you
Up ahead I see the mountains lying in the blazing sun
And I can feel my heart beating, I’m back home
Blue, blue, blue California
All I wanna do is get on back to you
Blue, blue, blue California
You’re the only one to make my dream come true
Blue, blue, blue California
All I wanna do is get on back to you
Blue, blue, blue California
You’re the only one to make my dream come true
My baby's got big hair
I see it flowin' down from everywhere
You may not like it son but I don't care
That girl was sent from up above
When I get tangled up in there
I feel just like a Texas millionaire
My baby's got big hair
She's the one I love
She's got a little old compact car
A mini-skirt that goes way too far
A tiny Airstream at the trailer park
The smallest dog you've ever seen
Now when she's wearin' them gogo boots
A tube-top and dark roots
She's so sexy and she's so cute
It makes a redneck wanna sing
My baby's got big hair
I see it flowin' down from everywhere
You may not like it son but I don't care
That girl was sent from up above
When I get tangled up in there
I feel just like a Texas millionaire
My baby's got big hair
She's the one I love
Last Friday night I took her on the town
She wore it high while we danced around
Later on you know she let it down
Behind the Dairy Queen
Someday soon I'm gonna change her name
Go down to Wal-Mart and I'll buy a ring
Walk down the isle with it untamed
A good old boy can only dream
My baby's got big hair
I see it flowin' down from everywhere
You may not like it son but I don't care
That girl was sent from up above
When I get tangled up in there
I feel just like a Texas millionaire
My baby's got big hair
She's the one I love
My baby's got big hair
Sunday morning, up with the lark
I think I’ll take a walk in the park
Hey, hey, hey it's a beautiful day
I’ve got someone waiting for me
And when I see her I know that she'll say
Hey, hey, hey it’s a beautiful day
Hi, hi, hi beautiful Sunday
This is my, my, my beautiful day
When you say, say, say
Say that you love me
Oh my, my, my, it’s a beautiful day
Birds are singing, you’re by my side
Let’s take a car and go for a ride
Hey, hey, hey it's a beautiful day
We’ll drive on and follow the sun
Making Sunday go on and on
Hey, hey, hey it's a beautiful day
Hi, hi, hi beautiful Sunday
This is my, my, my beautiful day
When you say, say, say
Say that you love me
Oh my, my, my, it’s a beautiful day
Hi, hi, hi beautiful Sunday
This is my, my, my beautiful day
When you say, say, say
Say that you love me
Beautiful night
Stars shining down
All of God's glory
All around
The rains gone away
And there's no clouds in sight
We're singing His praises
This beautiful night
The moon's glowing silver
Down on blue water
Sweet meditation bathes me in white
I feel His spirit and I relive creation
I feel His blessings
This beautiful night
Beautiful night
Stars shining down
All of God's glory
All around
The rains gone away
And there's no clouds in sight
We're singing His praises
This beautiful night
Quiet takes over, blends with our voices
Just stillness and prayer
While the angels unite
He is our rock He is our refuge
He is our savior
This beautiful night
Beautiful night
Stars shining down
All of God's glory
All around
The rains gone away
And there's no clouds in sight
We're singing His praises
This beautiful night
And when morning breaks
His light again shines
Fulfilling our souls
So warm and so bright
But come again evening
We'll gather our loved ones
And lift up our voices
This beautiful night
Beautiful night
Stars shining down
All of God's glory
All around
The rains gone away
And there's no clouds in sight
We're singing His praises
This beautiful night
Beautiful night
Stars shining down
All of God's glory
All around
The rains gone away
And there's no clouds in sight
We're singing His praises
If I said you have a beautiful Body
would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel
would you treat me like the devil tonight?
If I was dying of thirst
would your flowing love come quench me?
If I said
you have a beautiful Body
would you hold it against me?
we could talk all night about the weather
could tell you about my friends out on the coast.
I could ask a lot of crazy questions
or ask you what I really want to know.
If I said ...
rain can fall so soft against the window;
The sun can shine so bright up in the sky.
But daddy always told me
don't make small talk;
He said: "Come on out and say what's on your mind".
So if I said ...
If I said ...
If I said
you have a beautiful body
Spending all my nights, all my money, going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes I'm right back where I started again
And trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
All day long wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides the tears
But as the sun goes down I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Nothing left for me, is there nothing left for me
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, listen baby, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you
She was born in Dakota
Where she froze to death each winter
But she dreamed about the islands
By the fire burning splendour.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
So she moved down on the border
With the sunshine but no seaweed
Though she could not drink the water
Some of the streets were lined with palm trees
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
--- Instrumental ---
Electric fan on the table
Shower is her waterfall
She may never have Jamaica
But in her mind she has it all.
And it was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
--- Instrumental ---
She loved their hurricane warnings
And the tropical breeze
She loves coconuts and love songs
With a little reggae breeze.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
--- Instrumental ---
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice.
It was almost Jamaica
Almost paradise
It was almost Jamaica
Don't say a word
Don't breath a sigh
Don't make a move
Don't bat an eye
Just hold me tight and don't let go
Just be with me, I love you so
The Mountains moved
And The Thunder Rolled
But now the earthquake is a gentle force
That frees our souls
And I am with you in the after glow
You gave to me the love I need
I gave to you a love so true
And now we are one skin to skin
You breath me out I breath you in
The Heavens tumbled
And The River flowed
But now that hurricane
Is drizzling rain just falling slow
Here in your arms in the Afterglow
A summers kiss to cool our lips
A lovers blush a body rush
The Long Embrace, Romantic stares
The look of love that fills the air
The heavens rumbled and the river flowed
But now the earthquake is a gentle force
That soothes our souls
Rockin' around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party
Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to
stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree let the Christmas
spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some
caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear voices
singing
"Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Rockin' around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way
"Muziekaal"
You will get a sentimental feeling, when you hear voices
singing
"Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Rocking around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday
Don't say a word
Don't breath a sigh
Don't make a move
Don't bat an eye
Just hold me tight and don't let go
Just be with me, I love you so
The Mountains moved
And The Thunder Rolled
But now the earthquake is a gentle force
That frees our souls
And I am with you in the after glow
You gave to me the love I need
I gave to you a love so true
And now we are one skin to skin
You breath me out I breath you in
The Heavens tumbled
And The River flowed
But now that hurricane
Is drizzling rain just falling slow
Here in your arms in the Afterglow
A summers kiss to cool our lips
A lovers blush a body rush
The Long Embrace, Romantic stares
The look of love that fills the air
The heavens rumbled and the river flowed
But now the earthquake is a gentle force
That soothes our souls
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly hell
The devil stepped right up and he said
"Well you look so countrified, leave your hat and boots outside
You won't need 'em, you're in hillbilly hell"
Well, they had a band without a steel guitar
Not one good ol' girl stood at the bar
No jukebox and no beer, am I the only redneck here
And the parkin' lot, was full of foreign cars
Hillbilly hell, I'm not feelin' so well
Where did I go wrong?
Was it somethin' in my song?
That put me in this hillbilly hell
I asked the devil just what did I do?
To have to sweat it out down here with you
To me it don't seem fair, why can't I be up there?
With the rest, Marty, Hank and Patsy too
He said,? You didn't write one good ol' gospel song
Not one little word about your mom
And you haven't yet sung one single duet
With Willie Nelson and you know that's wrong?
Well, I woke up to a country station on my radio
Grabbed a pen and paper and the words began to flow
I wrote a song called 'God Bless Mom' and ran out to the bus
Placed a call to Willie,? Would you like to sing with us?
Hillbilly hell, I'm not feelin' so well
Where did I go wrong?
Was it somethin' in my song?
That put me in this hillbilly hell
I'm not the kind
Who falls in love so easily
More than once or twice
Love has made a fool of me
But I could be persuaded
I did not come here
Looking for a rendesvous
Then you said hello to me
And all at once, I knew
That I could be persuaded
There's no guarantees
But when you look at me
To fall in love tonight
To love you for the rest of my life
I never thought I'd find the one
Thank you for using Top40db.com.
Who'd change my point of view
But I could be persuaded
To fall in love with you
Stand here together
'Neath the summer moon
There ain't no band in sight
But, darling
I can hear a tune played
That I could be persuaded
I can hear the melody
Every time you look at me
To fall in love tonight
To love you for the rest of my life
I never thought I'd find the one
Who'd change my point of view
But I could be persuaded
To fall in love with you
Your love's not burning with that same old glow
You're tryin' to win what you already won
You love her and you want to let her know
Well, buddy this is my opinion.
Chorus:
Sweep her off her feet with a slow slow dance
Hold her like she's holding on to new romance
If you want a love what you can be sure
Take her out and treat her like she's not yours.
--- Instrumental ---
She wants to feel like it's the first time
You gotta shower her with chivalry
She's full of fantasy from nursery rhymes
I know what I would do if it were me.
Chorus:
Sweep her off her feet with a slow slow dance
Hold her like she's holding on to new romance
If you want a love what you can be sure
Take her out and treat her like she's not yours.
--- Instrumental ---
Soon, you'll be the lover in her life
Lyin' in her arms, dancing in her eyes.
Chorus:
Sweep her off her feet with a slow slow dance
Hold her like she's holding on to new romance
If you want a love what you can be sure
Take her out and treat her like she's not yours.
Chorus:
Sweep her off her feet with a slow slow dance
Hold her like she's holding on to new romance
If you want a love what you can be sure
Take her out and treat her like she's not yours.
Forget about her eyes
That dance around
Like diamonds in the night
Forget about her hair
That cascades like a fountain
In the moonlight
And don't think of her sweet lips
That leave me just as drunk
As any wine
Though her body is immortal
She always thinks of new ways
To take from the heat into the fire
Oh, it's Heaven when your lover knows
All your desire
And when I'm lying there beside her
In the afterglow of love, I feel so fine
And if I have to name my favorite place
Just when I think I've figured her out
She comes up with a new game
Something she made up
In that pretty head
And when I can no longer hold out
And I melt in there in her flame
She takes my hand and leads to
Poets always dwell on
All the things that can be seen
From her nose to her toes
And everything between
I'll admit that
I'm a slave to her beauty
Let me say it two more times
The way she uses it to love me
Forget about her eyes
That dance around
Like diamonds in the night
Forget about her hair
That cascades like a fountain
In the moonlight
And don't think of her sweet lips
That leave me just as drunk
As any wine
Though her body is immortal
She always thinks of new ways
To take from the heat into the fire
Oh, it's Heaven when your lover knows
All your desire
And when I'm lying there beside her
In the afterglow of love, I feel so fine
And if I have to name my favorite place
Just when I think I've figured her out
She comes up with a new game
Something she made up
In that pretty head
And when I can no longer hold out
And I melt in there in her flame
She takes my hand and leads to
Poets always dwell on
All the things that can be seen
From her nose to her toes
And everything between
I'll admit that
I'm a slave to her beauty
Let me say it two more times
The way she uses it to love me
Well, there's a twenty pound turkey in the oven
And there's a big old log upon the fire
Momma's runnin' 'round in her new frilly gown
Daddy's dressed in Santa Claus attire
All the kids hang stockings near the chimney
And in the living room there stands an old Spruce tree
What causes this family's strange behaviour
I guess it's just that time of year to be
We all get crazy at Christmas
Gather 'round and sing those Yuletide songs
If we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord, I wish we could stay crazy all year long
Well, it's enough to make old Scrooge say "Season's
Greetings"
And it's enough to make the rich folks help the poor
Charity abounds when that feelin' comes around
Why don't it come around some more
We all get crazy at Christmas
Gather 'round and sing those Yuletide songs
Yeah, we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord, I wish we could stay crazy all year long
I want to thank Baby Jesus
Born in a manger long ago
'Cause on his birthday wars stop fighting for awhile
And it's the closest thing we have to peace on Earth
'Cause we all get crazy at Christmas
Gather 'round and sing those Yuletide songs
Yeah, we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord, I wish we could stay crazy all year long
Well, it sure is nice down here this time of year
The tourists are tanned and there's holiday cheer
Here comes Santa Claus, havin' a tropical Christmas
I'm mailin' out cards to the great frozen North
Sweatin' from the energy I could force
In jingle bells, havin' a tropical Christmas
And when the Sun sets down in the ocean
We'll decorate the palm tree
We'll mingle ornaments with coconut lights
Then we'll go caroling through paradise
And thank Baby Jesus for this tropical silent night
First we'll open our presents, then we'll lay on the
beach
Later we'll call, see what relatives we reach
In their winter wonderland, havin' a tropical Christmas
And when the Sun sets down in the ocean
We'll decorate the palm tree
We'll mingle ornaments with coconut lights
Then we'll go caroling through paradise
And thank Baby Jesus for this tropical silent night
Hey Kris Kringle, when you empty your sleigh
Stop by and kick back with us a few days
You and Rudolph, havin' a tropical Christmas
We'll build a snowman in sand, havin' a tropical
Christmas
Grandma wants a new bikini, havin' a tropical Christmas
Y'all come on down, we'll have a tropical Christmas
Bring your suntan oil, havin' a tropical Christmas
Let their be peace on Earth, havin' a tropical
Christmas
My friends all say that
I'm losing touch with reality
'Cause you're just too much.
My life's been going down
Even quit my job
They all say, give him up
Makes a life too hard
But I say.
Chorus:
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love.
I keep praying it will never end
I just wanna be your lover
Log on to Top 40 db
I don't care about my friends.
You keep coming on
With that sweet caress
All those subtle looks
And that scorching kiss
And I say.
Chorus:
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love.
I'm getting weaker
As the day goes by
But your mind won't
Let my body quit.
Just keep thinking
'Bout your flashy smile
And everything that comes with it.
One of these days
Maybe they'll understand
That I'm happiest
Melting in your hands.
I can't resist you
I can't control you
I could never leave you
Just wanna hold you.
Chorus:
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love.
Chorus:
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love.
My friends all say
You got to give her up
But I say.
Chorus:
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
Of your love, love, love.
I'm getting weaker
As the day goes by
I left town the same night and you left me.
I didn't hang around cause I didn't want to see.
Another man standin' in my place the smile that he
brought to your face.
How was I to know, you'd be everywhere I'd ever go.
Chorus:
Tell me, how can you be everywhere at the same time.
It seems to me you've disappeared, somewhere along the
line.
Since you broke my heart, you been playin' with my
mind.
How can you be everywhere at the same time.
I seen you in the movies, I seen you in the park.
I seen you in the airport, even in my old car.
In every book and magazine, from here to there and in
between.
Where I least expect it to, I ran right smack into you.
Chorus:
Tell me, how can you be everywhere at the same time.
It seems to me you've disappeared, somewhere along the
line.
Since you broke my heart you been playin' with my mind.
How can you be everywhere...
Bridge:
I can't seem to break the spell you cast on me.
If you don't want my love, why don't you set me free.
Or at the very least...
Chorus:
Tell me, how can you be everywhere at the same time.
It seems to me you've disappeared somewhere along the
line.
Since you broke my heart, you been playin' with my
mind.
How can you be everywhere at the same time.
I was walking down Broadway
New York, New York
Tony Llama boots and a Stetson hat
Proud to be a country boy
Just send a message for me
Pasta man on the road
He said, "You gotta get the rhythm of the islands
And help me carry my load.
Chorus:
You've got to get into reggae, cowboy
Shuffle them boots on the street
Get into reggae cowboy
Feel that reggae beat, hey, hey, hey, hey.
His message hit me like a brick, man
First I laughed then I cried
Somewhere between Jamaica and Nashville
I realized I lived my life
These days I sit in my garden
Saw fir frames on a steel guitar
Beautiful rhythms on the tradewinds
Blowin' in to a Florida farm.
Chorus 2:
They tell me get into reggae, cowboy
Shuffle them boots on the street
Get into reggae cowboy
Feel that reggae beat, hey, hey, hey, hey.
You've got to get into reggae cowboy
Get into reggae cowboy
Get into reggae cowboy
Everything comes and goes
Marked by lovers and styles of clothes
Things that you held high
And told yourself were true
Lost or changing as the days come down to you
Down to you
Constant stranger
You're a kind person
You're a cold person too
It's down to you
It all comes down to you.
You go down to the pick up station
Craving warmth and beauty
You settle for less than fascination
A few drinks later you're not so choosy
When the closing lights strip off the shadows
On this strange new flesh you've found
Clutching the night to you like a fig leaf
You hurry
To the blackness
And the blankets
To lay down an impression
And your loneliness
In the morning there are lovers in the street
They look so high
You brush against a stranger
And you both apologize
Old friends seem indifferent
You must have brought that on
Old bonds have broken down
Love is gone
Ooh, love is gone
Written on your spirit this sad song
Love is gone
Everything comes and goes
Pleasure moves on too early
And trouble leaves too slow
Just when you're thinking
You've finally got it made
Bad news comes knocking
At your garden gate
Knocking for you
Constant stranger
You're a brute-you're an angel
You can crawl-you can fly too
It's down to you
took a look around, it's time to shake this town;
it's bringin' me so down, hey, yeah, I'm on my way;
So tired of people's greed and how they make you bleed,
when they got all they need but tell me, "Boy, you gonna
pay."
Cuttin' loose, slippin' from the noose;
loud and proud, dancin' on a cloud.
If there ever was a time, that time is now.
Gonna do it, anyway I can;
gonna make it or break it, anyway I can,
gonna take it, anyway I can;
It's my life in my hand, I hope ya understand.
A friend told me today, if it keeps on this way,
he's gonna make a play, and do the Big Goodbye.
Seems everywhere I look, the takin's all been took,
and then someone writes a book tellin' me
it's gonna be alright.
So naive, I really can't conceive,
how people lie, just waitin' 'round to die,
Daybreak on the highway, I guess I drove the night away
It's hard to leave yourself behind
The devil take the state law, god it's such a long haul
Lookin' for an exit sign
Somethin' in my rearview, I guess they always find you
Livin' over the line
CHORUS
Over the line I thought the road was mine
Over the line I thought I was doin' fine
Some don't have a mother, some don't have a father
Some don't have a lot to lose
All they know is hard times, and burnin' up the white
lines
I'm burnin' up the highway blue
Somethin' in my rearview, I guess they always find you
Livin' over the line
CHORUS
Oh and I tend to keep on strayin'
So they keep on drawin' lines
Lord I love the music
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 Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior 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
I pulled up to the stockyards, runnin' low on self
esteem
My body and my heart broken in two
Well this lifestyle of mine has lost the girl of my
dreams
I'm just a bronc bustin' fool, now he's holding you
It's gonna be a blue rodeo
And I'll be turning green within there don't ya know
The moon may be silver and the sun could be gold
But it's gonna be a blue rodeo
Blue rodeo
It makes a cowboy wonder is it worth the hurt
Another town another bull to blame
While he's in your arms tonight I'll be eating dirt
Holdin' back the tears from two kinds of pain
It's gonna be a blue rodeo
The moon may be silver and the sun could be gold
But it's gonna be a blue rodeo
Blue rodeo
In every little cafe they play a song about us
A pretty girl who wanted more and the drifter's
wonderlust
The moon may be silver and the sun could be gold
But it's gonna be a blue rodeo
Blue rodeo
It's gonna be a blue rodeo
CHORUS
All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful
All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful
We don't even act like strangers
Seems weve been knowing each other for a long time
And every time that weve seen each other
Weve come up with some reason to stay apart
But baby, love is in your eyes
Baby, lets make the compromise
CODA (next 3 par.)
Ill be your cover, in the wintertime
Any reason, any season
Ill be satisfied
Long as Im here with you
Youll be my cool in the summertime
Any reason, any season
Youre always on my side
Whatever Im into
Cant you feel the magnetism
Growing stronger and stronger
So why don't we do it all
CHORUS
There aint no doubt about this feeling
Yeah, it's obvious my search will end with you
And I can tell by your facial expression
That you have the same attraction for me too
But baby, common lets take the ride
Were destined, straight for paradise
CODA
CHORUS
All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful (oh)
All in the name of love (all in the name of love
between me and you)
All in the name of something beautiful (all about, all
about something beautiful)
All in the name of love
All in the name of something beautiful
You and me, were overdue, for getting together baby
It always seemed our love was meant to be
(Hey) All in the name of love
(You and me, weve always had that strong attraction
You can't keep a lock on love, cuz Ive got the keys)
All in the name of something beautiful
(Hey) All in the name of love
Lyrics to Long Distance Love Affair :
Momma raised me to love one man
And that's just what I'm trying to do
But since you've been playing
In that rock and roll band
I never see enough of you
Saw your picture in a magazine
Read the letters that you sent back home
But of the night I'm alone by the t.v. screen
Listening for the telephone
[Chorus:]
Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair
I got a fever running through my blood
Night and day you know it never fails
And there's only one thing
That's gonna satsify me
And you can't send it through the mail
Close your eyes, close the door
You don't have to worry any more
I'll be your baby tonight
Shut the light, shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be your baby tonight
Well that mockingbird's gonna sail away
We're gonna forget it
That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon
But we're gonna let it
You won't regret it
Kick your shoes off, do not fear
Bring that bottle over here
I'll be your baby tonight
I'll be your baby tonight
I'll, I'll be your baby
I'll be your baby
I'll, I'll be your baby
I'll be your baby
I'll be your baby tonight
I'll, I'll be your baby
I'll be your baby
I'll, I'll be your baby
I'll be your baby
Ahh, ahh, ahh....
Where does this feeling come from
That I have for you
All of those other affairs
Have left me cold and blue
I feel like I've always known you
I feel like I wanna start screaming
I know you're a living angel
But I still think I must be dreaming
[CHORUS]
This is a big love
This is a big, big love
This is a big love
And I've been waiting for it
All of my little life
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Just when I wasn't expecting it
Darling, there you stood
I ain't never been a knight in armor
But with you, I could
Thank you for using Top40db.com.
I'm trying to play it so cool, babe
But my heart is out of control
You're giving the shakes to my body
You scare the hell out of my soul
[repeat CHORUS]
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ooh
Started with a glance across the room
That spun a lover's curse
Then it spread across the universe
[repeat CHORUS]
This is a big love
This is a big, big love
This is a big love
Your broken heart is fading fast
You found a love you think might last and last
The sweetest thing you've ever seen
The kind thats always in your dreams, in your dreams.
She don't know that she's perfect
She does not have a clue, what she's done to you
She don't know that she's perfect
Better find the words to say, don't let her walk away.
Don't get me wrong
Don't think me strange
There's nothing about you girl
I wanna change
I'd never change you.
But the day has come
And now's the time
I'll find a way to make you say
You're mine, mine, all mine.
She don't know that she's perfect
You'd better let her know
Before she turns to go.
I hope and pray she'll understand
That one fine day
I might be her man
Be her man
We'll find a place down in the sun
Where she and I can live as one
Intro Chords: G
Verse 1:
I could walk out now, and get in my truck.
Never look back, forget your love.
Sure I could leave, cause I'm tough enough. Not.
I could find another, to take your place.
Just build up a wall, block out your face.
Drive off in the sunset, never miss your embrace. Not.
Chrous:
Not. In this lifetime could I stop.
Your my lifeline I've been caught.
By the only thing I want.
Verse 2:
Could I live without passion? Sure I could.
Go void of emotion, like Clint Eastwood.
It would probably be, for my own good. Not.
I was born to be wild, with a need to be free.
I could clear my mind, so you can't get to me.
I'll show you someday, and then you'll see. Not.
Chrous 2:
Not. In my soul could I break loose.
If my heart would let me choose.
I would still be loving you.
I'm putting down my foot, changing some things.
Gathering my strength, to unlock these chains.
I'm running from pleasure, to avoid the pain. Not.
Chrous 3:
Not. Not in this lifetime babe.
Not even if I could. Not a chance.
Not anytime soon. Not in a million years.
Not in this world. Not for silver or gold.
Tough Love Tough Love Tough Love
Hearts get burned
Hearts can be broken
Sometimes to sweet
Sometimes to tough
Hearts get hurt when harsh words are spoken
But we all need a little tough love
Dont get me wrong
I love it when you talk so tenderly
But we all know
Thats not always realitity
It keeps love strong
To understand its little ole diosyncrasy
And to realize that were not made so perfectly
Tough Love Tough Love Tough Love
Hearts get hurt
Hearts can be broken
Sometimes to sweet
sometimes to tough
Hearts get hurt when harsh words are spoken
we all need a little tough love
Tough dont have to be rough
it just means honesty
the secret that makes true love last
just like for you and me
Dont get me wrong
I love it when you talk so tenderly
But we all know
Thats not always realitity
I know the reasons why you're not here with me
But I told you I'd survive if you ever had to leave
But in the light of day, I tend to do okay
But when the night takes hold, I think of you
And I go crazy from the heart
I reach out to touch you but you're nowhere in the dark
My mind knows why we're apart
But I go crazy, crazy from the heart
In my mind there's no doubt we could not make it last
But I've learned to live without a love that's in the past
But in the night so still, her memories feel so real
They make my blood run cold, I reach for you
And I go crazy from the heart
I reach out to touch you, but you're nowhere in the dark
My mind knows why we're apart
But I go crazy, crazy from the heart
When the moon takes hold
(When the moon takes hold)
The stars come out and I lose control
And I go crazy from the heart
I reach out to touch you, but you're nowhere in the dark
My mind knows why we're apart
But I go crazy, yes, I go crazy
Well it could be anywhere in the U.S.A.
Texas, Tennessee, Down In F.L.A.
When the weekend falls and all the girls come out
Well that's what a country boys life is all about
Well there's a band or a jukebox everywhere we go
Get in the car turn up the radio
Country music playing out in the streets
Everybody's dancin' to the cowboy beat.
Well way out west they get a burning desire
When the guitars play it really feeds the fire
Arizona California down the Vegas way
They're even feeling the beat through the heat of the day
You know they're fallin' in love all over this land
From Alaska to the Rio Grande
So hold on to your baby while you move your feet
Everybody's dancin' to the cowboy beat.
Well they're sellin' like hotcakes everywhere we go
Showing up in honky tonks and rodeos
Twangin' and a kickin' on the movie screens
Lord it's takin' over everything
Well it could be anywhere in the U.S.A
Texas, Tennessee Down in F.L.A
Way up in New York City at the Broadway show
They're wearin' boots and buckles while they do si do.
You know they're bringin' the whole world down to it's knees, so move a little closer and hold on to me
We'll dance down the isle life'll be so sweet
Raisin' our kids to the cowboy beat.
To the cowboy beat.
Every time I look into your eyes
I want to say that, I apologize
I can't change, I thought you knew
I'm not the one to stay with you
You don't need a crazy love like mine
That comes and goes from time to time
So, save your heart and save your dreams
Forget about me
A girl like you deserves the best
Believe me babe, it's in your interest
Forget about me, forget about me
Forget about the way we used to touch
Forget about the times we cared so much
Forget about the way our days would end
And all the nights that we would share again
You're old enough to realize
You got to keep your love alive
When you hear the music let it play
Don't let your feelings hide away
Let your love run wild and free
Throw away my memory
You can erase it, you can replace it
Forget about me
A girl like you deserves the best
Believe me babe, it's in your interest
Forget about me, forget about me
Forget about the way we used to touch
Forget about the times we cared so much
Forget about the way our days would end
And all the nights that we would share again
Forget about me
I love you for all the wrong reasons
I need you every night and every day
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons
'Cause you love me in all the right ways
Shimmering lips that kiss me
And a body to make a fool of any man
I'd like to run away, but
I just haven't had all that I can stand
Our love is like the darkness,
It just keeps on getting deeper with the night
And though we'd never say "I love you",
You know it feels so good when we get it right
I love you for all the wrong reasons
I need you every night and every day
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons
'Cause you love me in all the right ways
There's no reason for us to be here,
But we are and we have been for some time
Yeah, we both have other lovers, but
What they don't know they sure don't seem to mind
So we throw it to the wind
We don't worry bout these pleasures that we steal
'Cause there's oh so many reasons, but
It's really how we make each other feel
I love you for all the wrong reasons
I need you every night and every day
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons
'Cause you love me in all the right ways
I love you for all the wrong reasons
I need you every night and every day
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons
Well, He walked on the water and He raised up the dead
And we teach all the children that He died for our sin
But something's gone wrong, this world's in a mess
Jesus is coming and boy is He pissed.
He's looked down at the homeless and the rape of the land
He's seen the preachers and lawyers with blood on their hands
Politicians beware 'cause there's a loophole you've missed
Jesus is coming and boy is He pissed.
In a world gone mad He's watching it all
And the meek shall inherit and the mighty will fall.
It's ashame what we've come to and we cannot go back
And the train bound for glory went down the wrong track
Soon the love in His heart will be the rage in His fist
Jesus is coming and boy is He pissed.
--- Instrumental ---
So the whole place can rumble and it floods like a curse
And the hatred and crime you know it only gets worse
These warnings do heed, no more and no less
Jesus is coming and boy is He pissed.
When I'm away from you well, I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move from the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you
Well it hurts to say
My sense has gone so far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you I see great big clouds
In the fog and rain all the lonely crowds
They seem to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh, you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you well the wine won't flow
The tides don't turn and the wind don't blow
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh, you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you
Well it hurts to say
My sense has gone so far away
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh, you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know
When I'm away from you well the sun don't shine
The mood don't come
The words don't rhyme
Bellamy Brothers - Our Family
They let Bubba out of prison
He paid for his crime
He didn't know them bad cheques
Could give him so much time
Sister's getting married
There's a shotgun on the groom
Hope they finish the wedding vows
Before the baby's due
Harry's in the closet
He's been there all his life
Everybody wonders
Why he never took a wife
We owe a lot of bills
Trying to live beyond our means
Ain't got a pot,
But we got cable TV,
CHORUS
======
But it's our family
Full of skeletons and ghosts
And even with our strange relatives
It's the one we love the most
There may be a bunch of nuts
Up our family tree
Yeah we may all be crazy
But it's still our family
Grandpa's got a girlfriend
A woman half his age
Grandma laughs about it
But I sense the silent rage
And Uncle Burt still thinks
He's on the grand old armoury
That fever from the war
Left him living in a dream
We buried Great Ann-Martha
Out the forest lawns today
Now I think I know why
They Called Great Ann-Martha great
The church was full of strange men
Mama called it a disgrace
She said they should have wiped that
Smile off Great Ann-Marthas face
Chorus
=======
But it's our family
Full of skeletons and ghosts
And even with our strange relatives
It's the one we love the most
There may be a bunch of nuts
Up our family tree
Yeah we may all be crazy
I've always wondered alone
Afraid and on my own
But up to now I think of you
Memories lost and regained
Seem to refrain me
On days that weren't quite so blue
Save your love
Like it means the world to you
Cause that's exactly what your love means to me
Like a spirit lost and finally set free
Save your love, save your love for me
You often told me your feelings
Hiding down deep within
Where do I begin
So I'll keep on singing this song
And hope you'll sing along
Then maybe someday we'll be friends
Save your love
Like it means the world to you
Cause that's exactly what your love means to me
Like a spirit lost and finally set free
Come on and save your love, save your love for me
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love for me
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love for me
Come on save your love
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love
Save your love
Well I left Okachobie I was on a quest
Stopped at Wickie Watchi where the mermaids nest
I seen Stock Choppie, I turned it left
Hit Appolachie Cola, headed west
Crossed 2 more states and a drivin' range
Finally reached Lake Ponchatrain
In the bayou town I found my dream
In the purtiest hound you ever seen
CHORUS:
Catahoula, best friend I ever had
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me
when I'm sad
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my
mullah
Well I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog
called Catahoula
In a plywood shack eatin' e'toupe
Drinkin Dixie beer passin' time away
If the sun goes down on the legs of day
It's time to dance as the accordian plays
We'll hunt them 'possums by a southern moon
Just to hear 'em bark makes my heart swoon
From Atchapali to Chandelou
The zydeco rhythm and my old pal Blue
CHORUS
Well the crawfish boil and the alligators bark
Oh I want a little more tobasco salt
That sawin' fiddle sure feels fine
I'll sing his praise just one more time
CHORUS (2x)
I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called
I watched you walk into the room.
I want to say this just right.
If you ain't waitin' for somebody special,
Would you be with me tonight?
I'm a doctor, I'm a lawyer, I'm a movie star.
I'm an astronaut, and I own this bar.
And I'd lie to you for your love.
I'd lie to you for your love.
I'd lie to you for your love,
That's the truth.
I can tell you what you wanna hear.
Awesome secrets 'bout myself.
I can tell you you're the only one, baby.
There'll never be nobody else.
Yeah, I'm runnin' for president.
I got money to burn.
My heart don't ache and my body don't yearn.
And I'd lie to you for your love.
I'd lie to you for your love.
I'd lie to you for youe love.
That's the truth.
Maybe it would be easier just to come out and say it.
I ain't never seen a woman quite like you.
My family comes from royalty on my daddy's side.
And I can read your palms and cards and tell you,
Our love just can't be denied.
I'm a doctor, I'm a lawyer, I'm a movie star.
I'm an astronaut, and I own this bar.
And I'd lie to you for your love.
I'd lie to you for your love.
I'd lie to you for your love.
That's the truth.
He turned 35 last Sunday
In his hair he found some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
He likes it better the old way.
So he grows a little garden
In the backyard by the fence
He's consuming what he's growing
Nowadays in self defense
He gets out there in the twilight zone
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense.
He gets off on country music
'Cause disco left him cold
And he's got young friends and a new way
But he's just to frickin old.
And he dreams at night of Woodstock
And the day John Lennon died
How the music made him happy
And the silence made him cry
Yeah, he thinks of John sometimes
And he has to wonder why.
Chorus:
'Cause he's an old hippie
And he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new.
He's and old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He's just trying real hard to adjust.
He was sure back in the sixties
That everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to vietnam
On his senior trip.
And they forced him to become a man
While he was still a boy
And behind each wave of tragedy
He waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him
But he just can't change no more.
Chorus:
'Cause he's an old hippie
And he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new.
He's and old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He's just trying real hard to adjust.
Well, he stays away a lot now
From the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's jogging round
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs.
'Cause him and his kind
Get more endangered everyday
And pretty soon the species
Will just up and fade away
Like the smoke from that torpedo
Just up and fade away.
Chorus:
'Cause he's an old hippie
And he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new.
He's and old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He's just trying real hard to adjust.
Yeah, he ain't trying to change nobody
John Wesley Harding shot a man for snoring
Killed him in the bed right where he lay
He took a snort of whisky and went back to his sleepin
Rode out before they found him the next day,
Now the brothers Frank and Jesse, No-one could be more fearsome
They robbed the trains and rode in the outlaw gangs
The civil war was over but still they fought for Dixie
And legend has their last name to be James.
Chorus:
Livin' in the west must have been the best
Must have been the greatest time of all
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
But I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.
--- Instrumental ---
Little William Bonney, Billy the Kid they called him
Had to use a six-gun to survive
He bit the dust at twenty-one but he left a reputation
A notch for every year he was alive.
Chorus:
Livin' in the west must have been the best
Must have been the greatest time of all
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
'Cause I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.
And now the frontier days are over for William Frank and Jesse
And a thousand other bad guys of their day
But they still live on in stories and I hope they live forever
And to sum it up here is all that I want to say.
Chorus:
Livin' in the west must have been the best
Must have been the greatest times of all
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
'Cause I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.
Chorus:
Livin' in the west must have been the best
Must have been the greatest times of all
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
First time I saw her standing on the highway
Watching all the trucks roll by
She was a dark hair, Indiana lady, pretty as the morning sky
So we went to a little place, down the road, just one more mile
The sun was shining on her face for a moment only she looked sad and lonely that she's got the weirdest smile
Ref: My Indiana, Indiana lady, you put a little spell on me
My Indiana, Indiana lady, your heart is beating wild and free
Your eyes are bright and ocean-deep, just like the sky so blue
My Indiana, Indiana lady, I think I fell in love with you
I turned around and headed for the highway trying to forget her eyes
I looked into the mirror and I saw her standing like the key to paradise
So I turned around again and I stopped there at her side
As she whispered while she said
"Stay until tomorrow, stay until tomorrow, stay and be my guest tonight"
Last time I saw her in the light of morning
Rain was running down her face
Though I have to leave her, all her private passion hit my heart a million ways
Indiana girls don't cry, so she gave me a little smile
And I waved the last goodbye
Well they told you that your life begins at forty
Well you know that's partly true... but mostly lies
And then they all come around to wish you a happy mild-stone
You just smile at them through the tear drops... in your eyes
Now you relate more to your parents then your children
Why your free spirit sits in shackles in it's cage
And you tell them all your fine
You don't worry about the passing of time
Mean while you're looking for the fountain of middle age
All the work you done finally start to pay off
Some of your dreams at last are come'n home
You and the wife have found some understanding
And your nestled deep into that comfort zone
Aye you wear old jeans and you bought a new corvette
And you wish your life would stand still at this stage
But when you look back on your youth
You know it slaps you with the truth
You're just looking for the fountain of middle age
Ohh you don't want to be any younger
Not unless you could know then what you know now
Noo you don't want to get any older
You just want to stay in limbo somehow
Well you heard them say.you ain't gonna take it with ya
It's enough to send a sane man into a rage
You could leave it to the kids
Or you can spend it all right here
On looking for the fountain of middle age
Now if you find that secret Jack.you be sure to call me back
Redneck girl likes to cruise in daddy's pickup truck,
And a redneck girl plays hard when she's down on her luck,
Living for Friday afternoon,
She's gonna show one ol' boy that weekend moon.
And I pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl
A redneck girl likes to stay out all night long
She makes sweet rock and roll while she listens to the country songs
She's waiting for that moment of surrender
her hands are callused but her heart is tender
And i pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl
Gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
Gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
Gimme a gimme a gimme a redneck girl
Gimme a gimme a gimme a redneck girl
Redneck girl got her name on the back of her belt
She's got a kiss on her lips for her man and no one else
The Coyote is howling out on the prairie
First comes love, then comes marriage!
And I pray that someday i will find me a redneck girl
Gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
Gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl
You've got to gimme a, gimme a, gimme a redneck girl,
Lovers live longer.
Lovers live right.
Lovers get crazy.
Deep in the night.
Lovers live longer,
So let's stay together.
'Cause the way we're going,
We might live forever.
Babe, I read it in the news today.
How to live to be a ripe old age.
Funny thing is what they had to say
I something we've known all along.
Lovers live longer.
Lovers live right.
Lovers get crazy,
Deep in the night.
Lovers live longer.
So lets stay together.
'Cause the way we're going,
We might live forever.
I play your body like a fine guitar.
You light me up just like a shining star.
Let 'em guess how young or old we are.
And we'll just love our lives away.
Lovers live longer.
Lovers live right.
Lovers get crazy,
Deep in the night.
Lovers live longer
So let's stay together.
'Cause the way we're going,
We might live forever.
Lovers live longer
So let's stay together.
'Cause the way we're going,
Making music mama all night long
taken good some word i come along
you don't have to be careful with what you said
i made a deal it's coming together
it gets a feeling better as we playing
making music mama all night long
till we get it feeling right just keep playing
making music mama all night long
till we slowly come together without song
it scatter to grew and hold the stair
to the rhythm of heart beat we go swear
i call three read like love letter
Sometimes I feel like a child
Sometimes I feel like a lonely ocean
Sometimes it seems that the road never ends
Sometimes I howl like the wind
Sometimes I fall like the rain
Sometimes the rain brings the blues to your mind
Sometimes I see that the world is so blind
Sometimes I just want to go home
Take me home, home
Take me away
Take me home
Home today
Sometimes I burn like a fire
Sometimes I'm wild like a river that flows
Down to the ocean to drown in all my dreams
Sometimes I am lost, so it seems
Take me home, home
Take me away
Take me home
Home today
Take me home, home
Take me away
Take me home
Home today
Sometimes I soar like a bird
Sometimes a bird in a cage sings no more
Sometimes an eagle can't fly
Sometimes it's useless to try
Take me home, home
Take me away
Take me home
Home today
Take me home, home
Take me away
Take me home
