I'll do everything i can to make you proud to be my man
And i'll fulfill all you fantasies
I guess we're promising a lot, but for now it's all we've got
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years
1st chorus:

Rockin' chairs, rockin' babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side we'll be together always
And if you'll hold me tight when you love me
That's all i'll ask of you
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years

I'll be your friend, i'll be your lover
Until the end, there'll be no other
'cause my heart has only room for one
Yes, i'll always love you, and i'll always be here for you
And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years

Repeat 1st chorus

Rockin' chairs, rockin' babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages

And i'll stand by you thru our rockin' years

Thru our rockin' years

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your cowboy boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here looking like that
Here comes my baby
Draggin' my heart behind
He's drivin' me crazy
Who says love is blind
He's got a wanderin' eye and a travelin' mind
Big ideas and a little behind
Out with a different woman every night
But i remember when he was mine

Chorus:

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Waltzing right in here lookin' like that
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunney sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that

I just can't stand it
To see him on the town
He's out slow dancing
With every girl around
I'm a softhearted woman he's a hardheaded man
And he's gonna make me feel just as bad as he can
He's got himself a mean streak a half a mile wide
But now he's dancing on this heart of mine

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why's you come in here lookin' like that

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heeled boots and your painted-on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunney sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And i cannot compete with you, jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing i can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene

And i can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But i could never love again
He's the only one for me, jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene

The gates and doors were barred
And all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness
And rose at every sound
Half in hope of sorrow
And half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin' through
To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise
I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle
And a voice began to call
I hurried to the window
Looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches
And the sound of soldiers' feet

But there was no one there but mary
So i went down to let her in
John stood there beside me
As she told me where she'd been
She said they've moved him in the night
And none of us know where
The stone's been rolled away
And now his body isn't there

We both ran towards the garden
Then john ran on ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the way that mary said
But the winding sheet they wrapped him in
Was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken him
Was more than i could tell

Oh something strange had happened there
Just what i did not know
John believed a miracle
But i just turned to go
Circumstance and speculation
Couldn't lift me very high
'cause i'd seen them crucify him
Then i saw him die

Back inside the house again
The guilt and anguish came
Everything i'd promised him
Just added to my shame
When at last it came to choices
I denied i knew his name
And even if he was alive
It wouldn't be the same

But suddenly the air was filled
With a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere
Drove shadows from the room
And jesus stood before me
With his arms held open wide
And i fell down on my knees
And i just clung to him and cried

Then he raised me to my feet
And as i looked into his eyes
The love was shining out from him
Like sunlight from the skies
Guilt in my confusion
Disappeared in sweet release
And every fear i ever had
Just melted into peace

He's alive yes he's alive
Yes he's alive and i'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive yes he's alive
Oh he's alive and i'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive he's alive
Hallelujah he's alive
He's alive and i'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive he's alive he's alive
I believe it he's alive
Sweet jesus

Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with june bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
Chorus:

In my tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

Repeat chorus

Walkin' home from church on a sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands

Repeat chorus
