Well, here it comes again
That old feelin' so strong
You came into my life
I won your love for a song
And when I see you in my mind baby
Think of the words you will say
And in a mist of desire
Your love takes me away
Girl you take me away
In a mist of desire
And our love's not an ember baby
It's a raging fire
I need to be with you
What else can I say
In a mist of desire
Your love takes me away
I feel the love when we touch
I can see it in your face
I get lost in the shadows of your warm embrace
And you rush into my arms
My emotions run wild
And we're off to a love world
In a mist of desire
Girl you take me away
In a mist of desire
And our love's not an ember baby
It's a raging fire
I need to be with you
What else can I say
In a mist of desire
Your love takes me away
In a mist of desire

Why lady why can't I leave you alone?
I try lady try but the feeling's too strong
You stay on my mind, feel just like a fool
Why lady, why can't I get over you?
Why lady why, it was easy before?
I try, lady try but it ain't easy no more
To be on my way would be the best thing to do
Why lady why can't I get over you?
Why lady why, can't I leave you alone?
I try lady try but the feeling's too strong
To be on my way would be the best thing to do

Whisper to me softly,breathe words upon my skin.No one's near and listeningso please, don't say goodbye.Just hold me close and love me,press your lips to mine. Mmmm, MmmmFeels so right.Feels so right.
Lying here beside youI hear the echos of your sighs.Promise me you'll stay with meand keep me warm tonight.So hold me close and love me,give my heart a smile
Mmmm, MmmmFeels so right.Feels so right.
Your body feels so gentle,and my passion's rising high.You're loving me so easy...your wish is my command.Just hold me close and love me,tell me it won't end.

Fantasy, midnight and you and me
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free
Take me away, away
Outside on a blanket in the moonlight
It feels right with my arms around you tight
Laying under Heaven watching the stars, okay
While me and you and Mother Nature drift away
Fantasy, midnight and you and me
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free
Take me away, away
Fantasy, midnight and you and me
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free
Fantasy, midnight and you and me
Ecstasy, spirits running wild and free
Take me away, away

Well it's concrete and asphalt drivin' into work every day
This livin' can't be healthy but the Lord knows I got bills to pay
And there's others here just like me, they got families to feed
Chorus:
One more time arouund, time around, on the job is where I'll be found
One more time arouund, time around, earn my pay and hear that whistle sound
Well thunder and lighting, it don't matter, nothin' stops the clock
The radios are blastin', mine is playin' country, some play rock
The rhythm and blues of the workplace, we take pride in everything we make
Chorus
Five o'clock is comin', we're all racin' down the same track
Life is a circle, sometimes we meet ourselves comin' back, well
Chorus
One more time around
Time around, time around
Time around, time around
Time around, time around

Before I fly and wave goodbye
I say to you ";Days with you are the best years of my life";
But if I don't see you anymore
Keep my words safely stored
And I'll be back I promise once more
Chorus:
Goodbye, goodbye
Till I see you again
Goodbye, goodbye
I'll love and I'll miss you till then
Remember me 'cause I care
Where you are and how you fare
Get in touch if the wind blows in your face
I guess it's been too much fun
We've shared and we've won
Yes the best is yet to come
Repeat chorus
That one word hurts so bad
You leave the best you've had
But you keep the faith and pray to return
Goodbye, goodbye
I'll love and I'll miss you till then
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

ALABAMA LYRICS
If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)
(Dan Mitchell/Murray Kellum)
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for ";Louisiana Man";
So rosin up that bow for ";Faded Love"; and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, ";Cotton-Eyed Joe";!
He said, ";We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong
There's just somethin' missin' in your song";
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for ";Louisiana Man";
So rosin up that bow for ";Faded Love"; and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case
You say y'all all wanna two-step
You say ya wanna doe-si-doe
Well, here's your fiddlin' song before we go
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for ";Louisiana Man";
So rosin up that bow for ";Faded Love"; and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for ";Louisiana Man";
So rosin up that bow for ";Faded Love"; and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

Flattop guitar, down around the campfire
You can smell that hickory burnin'
Catfish fryin', onions got us cryin'
Hush puppies they're a turnin'
Friends and kin comin' down the hill
Trippin' in the ole starlight
Cookin' and kickin' do a little pickin'
Party tonight
Come on down to the moonlight lounge
Where the ceilin' is so blue
Where there ain't no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there ain't no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah, we're havin' us a party down in the holler
We call it the moonlight lounge
Me and my lady rode in on Sadie
A fourteen hand chestnut mare
A midnight hoot owl
He's screechin' so loud
Kind of puts a chill in the summer air
The bushes are wigglin', somebody's gigglin'
Buck couldn't wait to get a kiss
Jimmy's got the four wheel hooked to the wagon
A hay ride you don't wanna miss
Come on down to the moonlight lounge
Where the ceilin' is so blue
Where there ain't no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there ain't no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah, we're havin' us a party down in the holler
We call it the moonlight lounge
Won't you come on down to the moonlight lounge
Where the ceilin' is so blue
Where there ain't no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there ain't no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah, we're havin' us a party down in the holler
We call it the moonlight lounge
Yeah we're havin' us a party, everybody holler

In the cornor of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite memories
One by one they take me back to the days when you were mine
Oh I can't stop this jukebox in my mind
I don't need no quaters
don't need any dimes
You filled it up forever when you said good-bye
Heavens knows I love old melodies that were meant to ease the pain
But the kind that's playin' on my mind are drivin' me insane
(Chorus)
In the cornor of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite memories
One by one they take me back to the days when you were mine
No, I can't stop this jukebox in my mind
(repeat chorus)

Is that what time it is?
I'm sorry if I woke you with this call.
But all this wine is in my head, and I'm so lonely from it all.
Don't hang up.
Baby, hear what I gotta say.
We started out such a beautiful story.
We just can't end this way.
Chorus:
I wanna come over, I wanna love you tonight.
I don't care about the time or who's wrong or who's right.
Just say it's OK, and I'll be on my way.
I wanna come over. Could you get outta bed?
I'll try to unsay all the things I've said.
Please say its OK, and I'll be on my way.
Is that what time it is?
I'm sorry if I'm keeping you from your sleep.
But all thse feelings are running through me.
You know I never knew they ran so deep.
What's that you're sayin'?
That just before I phoned,
you were gettin' ready to give me call,
'cause you were feelin' so alone.
Chorus
I wanna come over.

Wish I had just one more chance to hold you close and say I love you.
Can't believe out romance was just beginning. Now its Through.
I'm looking for tomorrow to start a newlife on my own.
And all I see is sorrow. You're all I lived for. Now you're gone.
I can't seem to get you off my mind no matter what I do.
I'm trying to wipe you from my eyes, but the tears keep fallin' through.
The hardest thing that love has put me through is gettin' over you, gettin'

Words and Music by Teddy Gentry
The walls of my mind are closin' in.
Can't get away.
Your mem'ry won't end.
Chorus:
Can't forget about you. Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you. Can't forget about you.
Breakin' my mind in threee quarter time makin' me blue.
Can't forget about you. Can't forget about you.
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through.
I still see your eyes, your warm, gentle smile.
It was all worthwhile, each moment we knew.
Chorus

I got something cookin' and I'm boilin' way down deep
While I'm hot and bothered why don't you give me what I need
Your kind of lovin' really hits the spot
The things you're doin', baby, make me want what you got
So get it, get it, get it while it's hot, get it while it's hot, yeah
Yeah so get it, get it, get it while it's hot, get it while it's hot
Well, standin' here beside you, I can really feel the heat
I feel your body tremblin' from your head down to your feet
I know my mind is in it but my body's almost shot
If you want my lovin', babe, better get it while it's hot
Yeah get it, get it, get it while it's hot, get it while it's hot, get on oh oh
Get it, get it, get it while it's hot
Get it, get it, get it while it's hot
Get it, get it, get it while it's hot
Get it, get it, get it while it's hot
Get it, get it while it's hot
Get it while it's hot
Get it, get it while it's hot
Get it while it's hot
Get it, get it while it's hot
Get it while it's hot
Get it, get it while it's hot

Drift off and dream in your paper-doll world
Play with the presents from the boys and the girls
Your big day is over, the cake is all gone
We sang you to sleep with the birthday song
No, you'll never be one again
The two's are tumblin' on in
Daddy's little girl is growin' up in the world
You'll never be one again
The toy piano is quiet in the hall
As Kermie the frog sits watching it all
And soon your legs will grow and make the tricycle go
And take you away from us all
No, you'll never be one again
The two's are tumblin' on in
Daddy's little girl is growin' up in the world
You'll never be one again

You go out on the town feelin' alright
Leavin' me here alone, you're stayin' all night
You're good to me do somethin' sweet
Tonight you're back out on the street
Lovin' you the way I do is killin' me
You're good to me do somethin' sweet
Tonight you're back out on the street
Lovin' you the way I do is killin' me
I don't blame you for havin' fun
As long as I'm your only one
So go on out, have a time, have a good time
Don't forget if he asks, you're still mine
You're tellin' me the same old lies
And I don't need your alibis
Lovin' you the way I do is killin' me
Lovin' you the way I do is killin' me

Take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
Let me remember the things I've done
Walk on the log where the catfish bite
Walking along the river road at night
Barefoot girl, dancin' in the moonlight
I can hear the bullfrog calling me, "Ribbit"
Wonderin' if my rope's still hangin' to the tree
Ole Brody Junior took me over
Said, "You're gonna find a well that's colder
If I'm a bad boss, give some O'Green river", well
Take me back down where cool water flows, y'all
Let me remember the things I've done
Walk on the log where the catfish bite
Walking along the river road at night
Barefoot girl, dancin' in the moonlight

Orange Blossom Special
The Wabash Cannonball
The Chattanooga Choo-Choo
This hobo's seen 'em all
I've watched the Sante Fe
Lay her smoke against the sky
And listen to old number three rollin'
Through the night
Ride the train, ride the train
Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train
Southern Pacific
The Overland Express
And up ahead the coal cars of West
Virginia's best
And Oklahoma's Frisco
The biggest one of all
I've listened to the Silver Steed's
Lonesome midnight call
Ride the train, ride the train
Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train
Ride the train

I saw you starin' at each other
I saw your eyes begin to glow
And I could tell you once were lovers
You ain't hidin' nothing that I don't know
There's an old flame burin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger but it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes
You said it ended when he left you
You say your love for me is strong
But those old memories still upset you
Well I might be a memory before too long
'Cause there's an old flame burin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger but it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes
There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger but it's been burnin' longer

Sittin' here and rinkin'. Hey that's my fav'rite song.
What's that that Ihear ringin'? Would someone get the phone?
Wond'rin if she'll ever come home.
I've had no sleep, sad songs. I'm stoned.
Our love, a fadin mem'ry as I chase another down.
My eyes are gettin' heavy and my head's spinnin' 'round.
Stil wond'rin if she'll ever come home.
I've had no sleep, sad songs, I'm stoned.
Closing time, I drive for home not feelin' any pain.
Thoughts of her drift back tome through the fallin' rain.
Not caring if she ever come shome.
I've had no sleep, sad songs. I'm stoned.

Why do you ask? Of course I'm alright
I guess I wasn't thinking I'd run into you tonight
Do I seem surprised? Guess you caught me off guard
Yes, I'm really doin' fine, no, it hasn't been that hard
How 'bout you, gettin' on with your life?
There's so much to tell you that I won't even try
My, it's good to see you, how long has it been
I must admit I think about you every now and then
Like when I open my eyes, when I lay down at night
Every moment ever since the day you said goodbye
You'll never know 'cause I keep it inside
How am I doin' without you? Of course I'm alright
Well, to tell you the truth, I guess I have felt better
God, just look at you, wow!
You make it look so easy, I can see it on your face
Everything we used to be is gone without a trace
If you wanna know, right now, I'm sinking fast
Girl, you always could see right behind this mask
But I won't give it away, gonna keep it inside
How am I doing without you? Of course I'm alright

song: My Girl (December, 1964)
artist: Temptations
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
with my girl.
I've even got the month of May
with my girl (fade)
transcribed by Daniel H. Shulman

Atlanta was on fire and so was she the night he left her
Left her there to bear her pain alone
Hoping soon to return, burn, Georgia, burn
The roaring of the guns filled the emptiness inside her
Where once she felt the pounding of her heart
When he held her in his arms, tenderness they learned
Burn, Georgia, burn
He was the body, she was the soul
Of a love affair they couldn't control
While the world was falling down around them
They were not concerned, burn, Georgia, burn
Winter brought the snow and a rider down from Franklin
With news of how the war had taken toll
And he would not return, burn, Georgia, burn
He was the body, she was the soul
Of a love affair they couldn't control
While her world was falling down around them
They were not concerned, burn, Georgia, burn
While strolling through her mind
She stumbled on an old, familiar feeling
Of how he touched her many years ago

I've been goin' around in a whirlwind not knowing
Which way to go
I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking
For what I don't know
I've spread my wings and I've done some things
That I never meant to do.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind
I'm hanging up my travelin' shoes
Hangin' up my travelin' shoes
My runnin' around is all through
I'm foldin' my wings up for you
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes
I've been ridin' a sea of uncertainty
Runnin' away fom is all
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me
Watched all my dreams rise and fall
I've made my mistakes
But it's not too late to pull myself out of the blues.
Its took me some time but I've made up my mind
I'm hanging up my travelin' shoes
Hangin' up my travelin' shoes
My runnin' around is all through
I'm foldin' my wings up for you
I'm hangin' up my travelin' shoes

Calling, calling all angels
Oh I?m calling, calling all angels
The night was still, the moon was bright when he saw a distant light
So he started walkin? till he found a church outside of town
And he stumbled in and closed the door, said, "Why I?m here, I?m not sure
It?s my baby that I?m lookin? for, can?t she see I?m down on my knees?"
I?ve been calling, calling all angels
Bring my baby back, oh you must know where she?s at
Tell me what to do, I know that she?s one of you
I?m down on my knees, tell her please that I love her so
Tell me preacher, man to man, "Will you do all that you can?"
I?ve done wrong, this I know, and I really hurt her so
It?s a lonely world I?m livin? in, an ocean of tears I been cryin?
In this greatest hour of need, what can be done for a fool like me?
Oh, I?m calling, calling all angels
Bring my baby back, oh you must know where she?s at
Yes I?ve been a fool and I know that she?s one of you
Now do this for me, tell her please
And if she?s lonely I?ll make her understand
That these arms can carry both of us back to heaven again
Yes I?ve been a fool and I know that she?s one of you
Do this for me, tell her please
Calling, calling all angels
Hear me calling, calling all angels
Oh I?m calling, calling all angels
Hear me calling, calling all angels
Oh I?m calling, calling all angels

Hey baby, hey where is, that's my wife
Hey baby come on over here a minute, hey
I-I-I beg your pardon, I'm sorry

I don't mind the cold and rain where I'm waiting
I'm holding on to your mem'ry as tight as I can
And silver wings are bringing you back so I can hold you
And let me know that I'm still your lovin' man
You carry my dreams through the darkness while I'm sleeping
The part of love that I need to fit my plan
And I don't need nobody else to ease my feelings
As long as I can be your lovin' man
I been waiting here for days to see that big steel bird arrive
And just the thought of lovin' you is what's kept this man alive
Share with me all the joy life can bring us
Though my kingdoms may be castles made of sand
Darlin', please spend your sunshine days beside me
And let me always be your lovin' man
Your lovin' man
(Lovin' man)
Let me be your lovin' man
(Your lovin' man, lovin' man)
Let me be your lovin' man
(Your lovin' man, lovin' man)
Let me be your lovin' man

Rollin' down a backwoods, Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel
Holdin' my lover with the other, a sweet, soft, southern thrill
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle, on a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn't feel better, I'm together with my Dixieland delight
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her uptight, make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night
Fits my life, oh so right, my Dixieland delight
Whitetail buck deer, munchin' on clover, redtail hawk settin' on a limb
Chubby old groundhog, croakin' bullfrog, free as the feelin' in the wind
Home grown country girl, gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven, livin' in Heaven, with my Dixieland delight
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her uptight, make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night
Fits my life, oh so right, my Dixieland delight
Spend my dollar, parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
Hold her uptight, make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night
Fits my life, oh so right, my Dixieland delight
Rollin' down a backwoods, Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel

He was a good time, beer bar picker until the night she came along.
He gave up his women and his liquor, and she put the sad in all his songs.
Something about hermade him sorry.
She was holy in his eyes. She had him bound and hypnotized.
She put the sad in all his songs. She put the blues in his guitar.
She took what he had and she made it wrong.
She put the sad in all his songs.
She was the rattle snake that bit him.
SHe was the blow fromup behind.
She thought the tear in his eye just might fit him, and he was the last thing
on her mind.
She put the sad in all his songs. She put the blues in his guitar.
She took what he had and she made it wrong.
She put the sad in all his songs.

I see the lights of the city tonight and I see a star shinin' so bright
A babe in a manger in swaddling clothes, it's you, it's me everyone knows
The Christmas spirit is in the air, the Christmas spirit is everywhere
Like th day Christ was born in Bethlehem
The Christmas spirit has been coming down
I hear the sound of church bell ring, and I see kids and grown-ups sing
A real live nativity scene, it's you, it's me, we all know what it means
The Christmas spirit is in the air, the Christmas spirit is everywhere
Like the day Christ was born in Bethlehem
The Christmas spirit has been coming down
An it's time to let the angels sing, it's time to praise the newborn King
It's time for that eastern star to shine, it's time, it's Christmas time
Yes, it's time to let the angels sing, it's time to praise the newborn King
It's time for that eastern start to shine, it's time, it's Christmas time
Since the day Christ was born in Bethlehem

Sometimes her morning coffee?s way too strong
And sometimes what she says, she says all wrong
Right or wrong she?s there beside me like only a friend would be
And that?s close enough to perfect for me
Now she?s been known to wear her pants too tight
And drinking puts her out just like a light
Heaven knows she?s not an angel, but she?d really like to be
And that?s close enough to perfect for me
She kisses me each morning and smiles her sleepy smile
And she don?t have to say it, I can see it in her eyes
Don?t you worry about my woman or what you think she ought to be
She?s close enough to perfect for me
Sometimes she gets down and starts to cry
But then again a lady has a right
She?s everything I've ever wanted, she's all I?ll ever need
She?s close enough to perfect for me
She kisses me each morning and smiles her sleepy smile
She don?t have to say it, I can see it in her eyes
Don?t you worry about my woman or what you think she ought to be
She?s close enough to perfect for me

I've seen him plow a field of corn all day
That's reality
His overalls are black with dirt
But his face is still full of dignity
He talks about the weather
And he can tell you when it's gonna rain
Told me 'bout the flood of twenty-nine
That washed the crops away
Underneath that Alabama sky
Grandpa told me 'bout the things he'd seen
Underneath that Alabama sky
I listened to my grandpa's memories
At times he mentions Grandma
Turn his head and wipe away a tear
Sometimes we'd take her picture down
And sit and pretend that she's still here
Three girls and two boys he raised on love
And simple honesty
And when they finally have to carry him away
They'll take a lot of me
Underneath that Alabama sky
Grandpa told me 'bout the things he'd seen
Underneath that Alabama sky
I listened to my grandpa's memories
Underneath that Alabama sky
My grandpa told me 'bout the things he'd seen
Underneath that Alabama sky

Come, they told me pa rum pa pum pum

Shall I play for You pa rum pa pum pum
On my drum?

Rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum
Then He smiled at me pa rum pa pum pum

He raced that engine down the track 'round the tree on Christmas day
I was so amazed my dad would play with trains
I saw a sparkle in his eye, then I heard him say
"Come on, son, let's play, I was young once too
He washed that Buick faithfully, Lord, he kept her clean
I thought that machine meant more to him than me
On the day I turned sixteen he threw me the keys
Said, "I was young once too, now she belongs to you"
He was such a young man then, I'm older than that now
I hope I measure up to him, when the circle comes around
I saw him in the attic sittin' cross legged on the floor
With some old photographs, he point and laughed
He said, "That's me in that picture", I said, "No son, that's your dad"
I was young once too and looked a lot like you
I was young once too, I was young once too
Merry Christmas, son, I wish your grandpa were here

Happy birthday, Jesus
It's that time of year
All the lights on the trees say
Christmas time is near
Another year's behind us
You helped us make it through
So, happy birthday, Jesus
This song is just for you
We all get so hung up
On material things at times
It seems like we forget
What Christmas really means
It should be thanks we're givin'
That's why I wrote this tune
Happy birthday, Jesus
This song is just for you
There's a gift for everyone
But you underneath the tree
No, it's not much
But I hope you like this song to you from me
Happy birthday Jesus
That's why I wrote this tune
So, happy birthday, Jesus

O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above they deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
O holy child of Bethlehem descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Immanuel
For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love
O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth

Baby, let's make a date for a night on the town
How does the turn of the century sound?
I guarantee that we'll have a good time
New year's eve 1999
Now I know it sounds a bit premature
But I'm askin' you now 'cause I want to be sure
Do you have anything else in mind?
New year's eve 1999
We'll drink pink champagne from a plastic cup
Dance all night 'til the sun comes up
We'll say, it's been a pretty good century
Except for that weekend in '93
Then we'll go home to our warn winter bed
And tuck in the kids with a kiss on the head
And sing one more chorus of Auld Lang Syne
New year's eve 1999
I'll be your sweetheart if you'll be mine
New year's eve 1999

I come here today, I'm kind of nervous
You know how words get in my way
It should come easy, I've been rehearsing
I don't know why I'm so afraid to say
Will you marry me? Put our love and life together
Will you stay with me for always and forever?
On bended knee, would you take this ring?
Will you marry me, please? Will you marry me?
To be with you is what I live for
But at this moment I confess, yes yeah
Though I love you, God knows I love you
Deep down inside I'm scared to death, say yes
Will you marry me? Put our love and life together
Will you stay with me for always and forever?
On bended knee, would you take this ring?
Will you marry me, please? Will you marry me?
On bended knee, on bended knee
Would you take this ring? I will take your ring

After I leave for worlds unknown
Over the border line
Never again on earth to know
What will I leave behind?
Leave behind, oh, leave behind
What will I leave behind?
After I leave for worlds unknown
What will I leave behind?
Will I be missed by those I love
Or have I been unkind?
And have I been true to God above
What will I leave behind?
Leave behind, oh, leave behind
What will I leave behind?
After I leave for worlds unknown

Just like a western movie, a challenge has been made.
A shot was fired in anger, and pride stepped off the train.
Won't we ever stop this killin', me and you, till our hearts are up on Boot Hill and there's nothing we can do?
Chorus:
Words at twenty paces, anger at high noon.
This house ain't big enough for both of us. It's comin' soon.
We'll finish off our happiness and run hope out of town.
With words at twenty paces, Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.
Bridge:
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share, the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care?
Sometimes you words cut like a bullet in my side.
Oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride?
I've got my ammunition. I know you've got yours too.
We know each other's weakness; Lord, the damage we can do.
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away?
Let love come like the cavalry: ride in and save the day?

It's almost summer you know and I can't wait to go
Diggin' my toes in the sand
Spendin' long summer days soakin' up some rays
To the sound of a reggae band
My baby looks so good but I knew she would
And I'm so glad she's mine
I'm gonna kiss her again, while the waves roll in
It's just a wonderful waste of time
Ooh, put all our cares behind us
Wrapped in each others arms is where you'll find us
Kickin' back on a beach with my lover in reach
Holdin' her hand in mine
Crazy things that we do, may not matter to you
It's just a wonderful waste of time
Ooh, we're dancin' a hole to China
Even though we're on a beach in Carolina
Ooh, moonlight walks by the ocean
Ooh, there's no need to control our emotions
I wanna tell you my friend, I'd like to do it again
There's no reason or rhyme
Spendin' time on the shore, I'd like to do it some more
It's just a wonderful waste of time
It's a wonderful waste of time, just a wonderful waste of time
A wonderful waste of time, it's a wonderful waste of time
A wonderful waste of time, a wonderful waste of time

You know how to turn me on
In a special way all your own
No one has been where you've gone in so long
Oh, baby, you turn me on
Your world fits right into mine
With perfection time after time
And my world's where you must belong
'Cause baby, you turn me on
Oh, baby, you turn me on
It's always so perfect with you every time
Oh, yeah, I love you
You know how to turn me on
In a special way all your own
No one has been where you've gone in so long
Oh, baby, you turn me on
Oh, baby, you turn me on
Hey, baby, you know every way
To turn me on and on and on
So why don't you just turn me on?

Look at those evening shadows
Casting a peaceful light
The sun is disappearing
It's a beautiful sight
Moments caught forever
By the master's touch
A lasting reminder
To us
You only paint the picture once
(And) you only get one chance
Take the time to do your best
While the brush is in your hand
Make sure it's just right
Before the colors dry
You can't change it once it's done
You only paint the picture once
Love is the canvas
That's where it all starts
A lifetime together
Becomes a work of art
Just look what's been created
Between your heart and mine
Oh I believe that we're one of a kind
You only paint the picture once
(And) you only get one chance
Take the time to do your best
While the brush is in your hand
Make sure it's just right
Before the colors dry
You can't change it once it's done
You only paint the picture once
It's a portrait of life
You can't live it twice

It'll creep up on you like a kudzu vine
Even miles above the Mason-Dixon line
'Til one day you're craving hominy grits
And scanning the jukebox for George Jones hits
Drinkin' Jack Black tryin' to kick back
'Til the condo's looking like a shotgun shack
You'll be one of us no matter where you're at
When it all goes south
(You'll be drivin' around on a John Deere tractor)
When it all goes south
(Wearing baseball caps but they won't be backwards)
Now it really don't matter what state you're in
One day the south's gonna rise again
There's a Wall Street wonder boy sittin' up north
Throwing darts like a monkey at a stock report
He's got two homes, car loans, in debt
And his third divorce ain't even final yet
Traded his MBA for a SUV on a backwoods road down in Tennessee
'Cause man, Manhattan ain't the place to be
When it all goes south
(With the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias)
When it all goes south
(Eatin' moon pies, drinking RC colas)
Now it really don't matter what state you're in
Someday the south's gonna rise again
When it all goes south
(Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud)
When it all goes south
(You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood)
Now it really don't matter what state you're in
One day the south's gonna rise again
When it all goes south
(You'll be drivin' around on a John Deere tractor)
When it all goes south
(Wearing baseball caps but they won't be backwards)
When it all goes south
(With the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias)
When it all goes south
(Eatin' moon pies, drinking RC colas)
Vicksburg, Birmingham, Natchez and Savannah, Panama City
Y'all sure look pretty in the sunshine
Getting' dixiefried get yourself some rebel pride
When it all goes south
(Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud)
When it all goes south
(You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood)
Now it really don't matter what state you're in
One day the south's gonna rise again
When it all goes south
(You'll be drivin' around on a John Deere tractor)
When it all goes south
(Wearing baseball caps but they won't be backwards)
When it all goes south
(With the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias)
When it all goes south
(Eatin' moon pies, drinking RC colas)
When it all goes south
(Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud)
When it all goes south
(You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood)
When it all goes south
(You'll be drivin' around on a John Deere tractor)
When it all goes south
(Wearing baseball caps but they won't be backwards)
(With the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias)
(Eatin' moon pies, drinking RC colas)
When it all goes south
(Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud)
When it all goes south
(You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood)
(When it all goes south)
When it all goes south

There's a light in your eyes tonight
You know I'd know that look anywhere
You got plans and I'm one lucky man
Before we get so carried away
There's just something I've been wanting to say
When we make love
Its more to me than just an affair I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh its such a precious time we share our hearts, our souls and our minds
When we make love, oh yeah
Watching you make your little moves
Well I can tell it's gonna be a long night
All day long, we keep holding on
It couldn't be any better than this
I got it all in my fingertips
When we make love
Oh its more than just an affair I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh its such a precious time we share our hearts, our sols and our minds
These moments, these feelings
When we make love
Its more to me than just an affair I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh its such a precious time we share our hearts, our souls and our minds
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, I'm glad, little Johnny wants that remote control
I know I'm gonna run it fast as it will go
And Jenny wants every game that Nintendo makes
It's just around the corner and I can't wait
I've got my stocking hangin', it's time to go to bed
I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head
I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always did
Yeah, when it comes to Christmas I'm still a kid
I still like shakin' presents underneath the tree
And tryin' to figure out what ole Santa's got for me
Oh, I get so excited on Christmas Eve
I try my best to close my eyes but I can't sleep
Well, I've got my stocking hangin', it's time to go to bed
I think I hear some reindeer, I better cover up my head
I know Santa's gonna bring us something just like he always did
Yeah, when it comes to Christmas I'm still a kid
When it comes to Christmas, I'm still a kid

Lord knows I've made mistakes
Not of which I'm proud but I got down on my knees
And begged him please to hear me somehow
Forgive me of my sins and show me the light
Let me follow in the truth, dedicate my life to you
So in the end I'll be alright
So when it's my time to go, I've done all that I can
I'll have a smile on my face as I join the angel band
So please, don't cry cause in my heart I'll know
I've got Jesus on my side so my soul will be alright
When it comes my time to go
There's no easy way around, it's a climb up to the top
But if we keep the faith, live for you each day
Believe with all I've got
Stay humble as a child
Then when this old life is through
I won't be alone, Christ will take me home
Like he promised he would do
So when it comes my time to go and I've done all that I can
I'll have a smile on my face as I join the angel band
So please, don't cry cause in my heart I'll know
I've got Jesus on my side so my soul will be alright
When it comes my time to go
I've got Jesus on my side so my soul will be alright

You're laying right beside me, but you're a million miles away
And if I ask you what's the matter you don't have much to say
And I can tell that I'm not standing where I stood with you before
And we can't love like this, anymore
Sometimes it makes me angry, but mostly it just hurts
I thought time might make it better but it's only made it worse
And I can't climb these walls you're building
And I can't unlock the door and we can't love like this anymore
We're coming to a crossroad, I can tell
I'm not sure we'd be this lonely by ourselves
But I won't give up as long as there's a chance
So where we go from here is in your hands
Just say it's over and at least I'll know for sure
That we can't love like this anymore

I worry all day and I can't go to sleep at night
Thinking about baby and wondering who's holding her tight tonight
People say I've been a fool too long, too long
All my friends still ask me why I keep hanging on and on
And I say, you'll never know until it happens to you
You'll never know all that I'm going through
Love ain't something that flies away
Somebody goes but the feeling stays
And you'll never know until it happens to you
Saturday's rollin' and everybody's rockin' but me
I should go to town but I don't want no company, no, no, no
Friends say I should be out having fun with someone
I know it's true but if they only knew it's easier said than done, oh yeah
And I say, you'll never know until it happens to you
You'll never know all that I'm going through
Love ain't something that flies away
Somebody goes but the feeling stays
And you'll never know until it happens to you
Friends say I've been a fool too long, much too long
They just don't understand why I sit at home all alone by the phone
And I say, you'll never know until it happens to you
You'll never know all that I'm going through
You'll never know, oh no, you'll never know, whoa

Anytime you wanna love me, you can love me anytime
Early morning, late at night, anytime the time is right
Oh, if you want to hold me, well, you know that you can
Anytime, anytime, I?m your man
Baby you?re something, you?re something else
I?ll keep you?re loving all to myself
I live for the moment when it?s just you and me
Baby, just you and me
Anytime you wanna love me you can love me anytime
?Cause I?m ready and I?m willing, name the place, name the time
December through November, just give me your hand
Anytime, anytime, I?m your man
So hold me closer, close as you can
Whisper to me, now what?s your plan
You can trust me, understand
Baby, understand
Anytime you wanna love me, you can love me anytime
Oh, if you want to hold me
Well, you know you always can
