1. _ I Really Don't Want To Know
How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many i wonder
But i really don't want to know
And how many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many i wonder
But i really don't want to know
So always make me wonder
And always make me guess
Even if i ask you
Darlin', don't confess
No you just let that remain your secret
'cause darlin' i do love you so
How many, how many i wonder
But i really don't want to know
How many, how many i wonder
But i really don't want to know

3. _ We Had It All
I can hear the wind a blowin' in my mind
Just the way it use to sound through the georgia pines
You were always there to answer when i'd call
You and me, we had it all
Remember how i use to touch your hair
Reaching for the feeling that was always there
You were the best thing in my life, i can recall
You and me, we had it all
I know that we can never live those times again
But i let my dreams take me back to where we've been
And i stay there with you just as long as i can
Oh it was so good
It was so good
It was so good when you were my man
But i'll never stop believing in your smile
Even though you didn't stay, it was all worth while
You were the best thing in my life i can recall
You and me, we had it all
I know that we could never get that far again
So i let these memories take me on back to where we've been
And i stay there with you just as long as i can
Oh it was so good, it really was
It was so good, oh oh
It was so good when you were my man
You were the best thing in my life i can recall
You and me, we had it all

4. _ Dump The Dude
Hey girl, i wanna give you some friendly advice
He's got you cryin', oh he's done it again
He's made a date and he didn't show
You know he's done this to you so many times
When you gonna let him go
He doesn't treat you little a lover should
He could be so downright cruel
Can't understand why you're hangin' with him
Girl, don't you be a fool
Go on and dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, don't you think twice
Listen to what i'm telling you
Go on and dump the dude
You know that we've been friends for so many years
And i've never ever seen you this way
So torn apart, how he gets to your heart
With all the little games that he plays
Just give him up, get him out of your life
Promise me that once and for all
You're gonna tell him that it's over and done
The very next time he calls, ain't you now
Dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, find somebody nice
Listen to what i'm telling you
Go on and dump the dude
Girl, i know you may think this is none of my business
But the fact that we're friends i believe that makes it my business
I care about you but i ain't preachin'
I think you should dump the dude
I don't know why you'd want to settle for less
When you could have so much more
You know that you deserve only the best
So what are you waiting for?
Go on and dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, don't you think twice
Find yourself somebody nice
Go on and dump the dude

5. _ Everyday Hero
He takes the train into the city
To him it's more than just a working day
Cause he knows he can change the world in his ordinary way
She's got a job, she has a family
She tries to keep them both together
She's barely getting by, saving everything she makes
Day by day it seems it's getting harder to win
How much longer, ready for their ship to come in
These are the times of the everyday hero
This is the battlefield of the working man
Trying to survive, staying alive, giving it all that he can
With a fire in his soul that keeps burning
And a dream in her heart that won't die
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
They started out as high school sweethearts
He promised her a life of luxury
And though they don't have riches they have everything they need
The eyes of her child are her diamonds
The gift of his love are her pearls
Together they plan, taking a stand to make this a better world
But never breaking, knowing that their dreams will begin
Getting stronger in each other's arms
These are the times of the everyday hero
This is the battlefield of the modern world
There's a spirit inside that keeps us alive, giving it all that we can
With a fire in our soul that keeps burning
And a dream in our hearts that won't die
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
Everybody has a special reason
There's a chosen road to follow
Just remember nothing good comes easy
Don't surrender till you you find your rainbow
These are the times of the everyday hero
This is the battlefield of the working man
Trying to survive, staying alive, giving it all that he can
With a fire in his soul that keeps burning
And a dream in her heart that won't die
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life
These are the times of the everyday hero
This is the battlefield of the modern world
There's a spirit inside that keeps us alive, giving it all that we can
With a fire in our soul that keeps burning
And a dream in our hearts that won't die
Living day to day, there's no easy way in this everyday life

7. _ Burning
When i look at you
I melt like a candle
You light a fire in me
What am i to do
I just hope i can handle
The heat and the smoke blinding me
This feeling, this fire
This burning desire
Is raging its way through my soul
And if you feel the same
Help me fan the flames
'til we're burning out of control
Burning to know you
Burning to show you
And i've felt this way from the start
Burning with passion
I do hope it's lasting
And it's burning a hole in my heart
You kindle in me
A warm glowing feeling
A spark and a flicker of hope
It's more than a game
And like moths to a flame
We're drawn to its warmth and its glow
These embers of love
Are fueled by the notion
This could be an eternal flame
Consumed by the blaze
I fear it's too late
'cause this torch that i hold bears your name
Oh, and i'm burning to know you
Burning to hold you
It's grown to a flame from a spark
Burning with passion
I do hope it's lasting
And it's burning a hole in my heart
Oh, i'm burning with passion
I do hope it's lasting...
I've had so many dreams fall apart...
And it's burning a hole in my heart...
I'm burning
Oh, i'm burning
Mmmm, i'm burning oh, i burning ooh

11. _ Heartbreak Express
Packin' my suitcase writin' a tear stained good-bye note
Sayin' so long to a love gone wrong and that's all she wrote
Leavin' behind what once was mine with sad regrets
But it's all gone now and i'm leavin' town on the heartbreak express
Walkin in the rain with a heart full of pain to the train depot
The only things that's gonna keep me warm now is my overcoat
Lost and lonely waitin in line at the ticket desk
Hey mister won't you give me a one-way ticket on the heartbreak express
I'm gonna roll on down the line
I'm gonna go so far i'm gonna get it off my mind
It hurts to know it ain't enough when you give your best
Got a ticket to ride and i'm leavin tonight on the heartbreak express
Oh i couldn't hold a candle to a flaming beauty that caught his eye
It's killin' me now but i won't stay around and let him watch me die
Oh it just goes to show you never do know 'cause i never would'a guessed
I'd be sittin' here now on a train sorrow bound called the heartbreak express
I'm gonna roll on down the line
I'm gonna go so far i'm gonna get it off mt mind
Maybe someday somewhere someway i will forget
But there's no goin' back so roll down the track you ole heartbreak express
Feelin' alone while a low whistle moans
On the heartbreak express

12. _ Butterflies
I would spin for you a blanket
Out of gold and silver threads
I would let my gentle bosom
Be a pillow for your head
I'd caress your perfect body
On a rosy bed at night
Play you love songs on a golden harp
And sing you butterflies
In a diamond-studded chalice
On an emerald-plated tray
I would bring to you sweet nectar
And gifts of bright array
I would paint for you a castle
In a blue and yellow sky
Paint you happy ever after
And paint you butterflies
Chorus:
Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling i, i just think of you and i get butterflies
I get close to you and i get butterflies
If only i were magic
I would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand
And be in paradise with you
But i'm just a girl that loves you
I will love you all my life
But i do have a magic feeling
And it gives me butterflies
Chorus:
Butterflies, my heart flutters with the notion
I get high on the wings of sweet emotion
Darling i, i just think of you and i get butterflies
We should fly away together, you and i
Off to paradise forever, i get high
I get close to you and i get butterflies
I think of you and i get butterflies
Fade:
I will spin for you a blanket out of gold and silver threads
If only i were magic, i would make the wishes true
I would wave a magic wand and be in paradise with you

I believe in santa claus
I believe in santa claus
I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
And i believe in santa claus
I believe in santa claus, i'll tell you why i do
'cause i believe that dreams and plans and wishes can come true
I believe in miracles, i believe in magic too
Oh i believe in santa claus and i believe in you
I believe in family, in country and in smiles
I believe in turnin' negatives to positives in life
I believe in lookin' farther up the farther down we get
I believe when someone hurts us we should forgive and forget
And i believe in santa claus
I believe in santa claus
I believe love should prevail at any cost
And i believe in santa claus
I believe in saying what you mean and meaning what you say
I believe a better attitude can make a better way
And i believe in viewing life as a journey that we're on
And lookin' at our troubles as another stepping stone
And i believe that everything in life is what it's meant to be
I believe there is a god somewhere although he's hard to see
I believe i am so therefore i should do all that i can
To be a better piece in the puzzle of god's plan
And i believe in santa claus
I believe in santa claus
I believe there's always hope when all seems lost
And i believe in santa claus
Let the little children sing it
I believe in santa claus, i believe in santa claus
I believe in santa claus, i believe in santa claus
Let the whole world sing it with us
I believe in santa claus, i believe in santa claus
I believe in santa claus, i believe in santa claus
Let the whole world sing it with us

I believe there's always hope when all seems lost

14. _ There
There is a place where the sun's always glowing
Take me there, won't you take me there
Meadows grow green near the streams gently flowing
Take me there, won't you take me there
A city of riches beyond comprehension
Take me there, won't you take me there
Streets are of gold, gates of pearl, brilliant mansions
Take me there, won't you take me there
Chorus:
Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, won't you take me there
At the foot of the throne the kingdom rejoices
Take me there, won't you take me there
The angels are singing his praise with their voices
Hallelujah, hallelujah take me there
Peace, joy and love linger on through the ages
Take me there, won't you take me there
Lambs lay with lions and lions with babies
Take me there, won't you take me there
Take me and show me this rare place you speak of
Take me there, won't you take me there
To this land of plenty where there is complete love
Take me there, i can't take you there
But there is a church where they teach all about it
Take me there, won't you take me there
There is a book we must not be without it
Take me there, i will read with you there
There is an altar where sins are forgiven
Take me there, yes i'll kneel with you there
We'll find there the god of eternal living
Take me there, he will take you there
There is no sorrow and no heartache there
There is no crying and no dying there
Won't you take me there, won't you take me there
Hallelujah won't you take me there

16. _ D.i.v.o.r.c.e.
Our little boy is four years old
And he's quite a little man
So we spell out the words
We don't want him to understand
Like t-o-y, or maybe s-u-r-p-r-i-s-e
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me
Chorus:
Our d-i-v-o-r-c-e becomes final today
Me and little j-o-e will be going away
I love you both and this will be
Pure h-e-double-l for me
Oh, i wish that we could stop this d-i-v-o-r-c-e
Watch him smile
He thinks it's christmas
Or his fifth birthday
And he thinks c-u-s-t-o-d-y
Spells fun, or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And i turn my head when i speak
Cause i can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheek

17. _ Robert
Robert's appearance is something to behold
Dressed in the finest of store bought clothes
My mamma sews my clothes cause i'm just a poor girl
But robert is as real as his daddies gold
Robert could have any girl that he wanted
But his feelings for me each day seems to grow
He don't know the reason, that he's so drawn to me
But there is a story that robert doesn't know
Oh robert
Oh robert
Robert is constantly making eyes at me
He misunderstands the feelings we share
There's no way that i can return his glances
But i know the meaning of the feeling that's there
Robert if you knew, there once was a rich boy
In love with a poor girl, long time ago
But the folks of that rich boy, would not let them marry
And i am a symbol of the love that they stole
Oh robert
Oh robert
Robert, oh robert if you only knew
The same blood is flowing in both me and you
That rich boy's your father,but he's also mine
And my mamma's the poor girl that he left behind
Oh robert
Oh robert

18. _ Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind
Our love affair is bitter sweet
Insecure and incomplete
And i've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed
It's all become so complicated
Maybe you feel obligated
And out of simpathy for me you stay
But i had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
And i'd rather have you go than stay
And put me down a thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind
You've waited much too long to leave afraid of how i'd take it
And i'm deeply touched by your concern but i think i can make it
It won't be easy for a while but i'll forget in time
And if you don't love me, leave me and don't let it trouble your mind
I had rather live alone
Than live with someone who doesn't love me
And i'd rather have you go than stay
And put me down a-thinkin' you're above me
Our love affair is so wound up
It's best that we unwind
And if you don't love me, leave me
And don't let it trouble your mind

19. _ More Than I Can Say
Your love is like a gentle breeze
That's always blowin' over me
I know you're all i'll ever need
In each and every way
You're both ends of the rainbow
My colors and my pot of gold
I love you with a love untold
More than i can say
You are the song of every bird
You are the poet's every word
Every artist's picture
Every writer's play
You are the glow in every night
You are the warmth in each sunrise
Makes no difference how i try
It's more than i can say
And when i've needed you
You've always been there for me
Been my friend and stood by me
And held me as you loved the world away
And when i've wanted you
You have satisfied my needs
Fullfilled all my fantasies
I love you more and more each day
More than i can say
Oh and sometimes i watch you gently sleep
Listen as you softly breathe
Touch you skin and kiss you sweet
And love you all the way
I reach for you
You come to me
Love me into ecstacy
I will love you endlessly
More than i can say
And when i've needed you
You've always been there for me
Been my friend and stood by me
And held me as you loved the world away
And when i've wanted you
You have satisfied my needs
Fullfilled all my fantasies
I love you more and more each day
More than i can say
I love you more and more each day
More than i can say

To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

There is a season
Turn, turn, turn

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracings
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, i swear it's not too late

21. _ I'm In No Condition
Don't look at me with love in your eyes
Go look at somebody that can make it worthwhile
I'm hurt from a love affair i didn't want in
I'm in no condition to try to love again
Don't smile at me because it's no use
'cause i don't have a smile that i can give to you
Someday, you might look me up, but let me be till then
For i'm in no condition to try to love again
I'm in no condition to try to love again
Man i love just broke my heart
And it must have time to mend
He have me the breeze
Now he's gone with the wind
I'm in no condition to try to love again
I'm in no condition to try to love again
Man i love just broke my heart
And it must have time to mend
He have me the breeze
Now he's gone with the wind
I'm in no condition to try to love again
No, i'm in no condition to try to love again

Chorus:
I'm the queen of the sleazy tabloids
I rule the trashy kingdom
Like lady di they make sure i am never left alone
Papparazzi and reporters stalk me from the shadows
Making sure to kepp my royal assetts on my throne
Oh they talk about the lovers
That i keep undercover
And i wish that i was as much fun
As they have you believe
Just like alec baldwin
I'd love to whack 'em all one
But instead i'll wait and see
Who i am sleepin' with next week
I'm the queen of the sleazy tabloids
And i rule the trashy kingdom
But the rumors raise my cue score
And pay for my big home
I guess i 'augt to sue them
But instead i guess i'll use them
To keep me in the spotlight
And keep me on my throne
Cause i'm the queen of the sleazy tabloids

23. _ Elusive Butterfly
You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something i'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As i ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long abandonned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something i'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Oh sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that i love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And i've kissed it a thousand times
When you snap your fingers or wink your eye
I come a running to you
Tied to you like a ball-and-chain
And there's nothing that i can do
Can't help myself
No, i can't help myself
Sugar pie, honey bunch
I'm weaker than a girl should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see
I wanna tell you i don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And i've tried
But every time i see your face
I get all choked up inside
When i call your name
Boy it starts the flame
Burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how i try
My love i cannot hide
Sugar pie, honey bunch
You now that i'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
Ooh sugar pie honey bunch
I'll do anything you ask me to
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
Sugar pie, honey bunch
You know that i love you
I can't help myself
No no no, i can't help myself

25. _ Prime Of Our Love
I have rocked you to sleep like a baby
Stood beneath you and lifted you up
I have given you comfort and safety
Now you've gone in the prime of our love
I have cradled your head on my pillow
Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup
I have bowed to your needs like a willow
Now you've gone in the prime of our love
Oh, the days are slow in their passing
And the nights are so dreadfully dull
And the question my heart keeps on asking
Why'd you leave in the prime of our love?
I have cradled your head on my pillow
Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup
I have bowed to your needs like a willow
Now you've gone in the prime of our love
In the prime of our love you've forsaken
Our bright hopes and just left them to fade
And the heart that was yours for the breaking
Lies in pieces to wither away
I have cradled your head on my pillow
Quenched your thirst from my sweet loving cup
I have bowed to your needs like a willow
Now you've gone in the prime of our love
In the prime of our love you've forsaken
Our bright hopes and just left them to fade
And the heart that was yours for the breaking
Lies in pieces to wither away
Lies in pieces as cold as the clay

Busy signal
That's what i get when i call you
Busy busy
Talking to someone new
I wish i knew
I shouldn't worry 'cause it's probably his mother
Or then again it could even be his little brother
On the line
Making me lose my mind
Hang up hang up hang up hang up
Come on hang up hang up hang up
Gotta talk to my baby
Gotta tell him i'm sorry
Busy signal
How can i tell him i'm sorry
When i said i didn't care
I didn't mean a word i said
Talking outta my head
I've got to reach him now and tell him that i love him
And from now on i'll stay right by his side and love him
All the time
So please somebody quit tying up the line
Hang up hang up hang up hang up
Come on hang up hang up hang up
Gotta talk to my baby
Gotta tell him i'm sorry
I didn't mean to hurt you baby
I really really love you baby

27. _ When The Sun Goes Down Tomorrow
Thumbing for a ride by the edge of the road
With a brown paper bag to hold my clothes
But tonight i'm going home where i belong
If the good lord's willing and the creek don't rise
And if my luck holds out, and i catch me a ride
When the sun goes down tomorrow, i should be home
This big city ain't no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
If you smile people look at your funny, they take it wrong
They laugh at my talkin' and clothes i wear
They put me down and they call me square
But tonight i'm going home where i belong
Chorus:
I'm goin' back to the people i love
Back to the place that i dream of
It's true that there's no place like home sweet home
The one i want to see the most
Is the boy who begged me not to go
When the sun goes down tomorrow

28. _ Downtown
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, i know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
And go downtown
Things'll be great when you're downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows, downtown
Or maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close, downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of the music that they're playin'
Making conversation while you're on the dance floor swayin'
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
And go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
You're gonna be alright now
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to guide them along
So maybe i'll see you there
You can forget all your troubles
Just forget all your cares
And go downtown
Things'll be great when you're downtown
Don't wait a minute more, downtown
Everything's waiting for you
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown
Fade:
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown

29. _ Dumb Blonde
Don't try to cry your way out of this
Don't try to lie or i'll catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because i'm blonde
Don't think i'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought i'd sit
An' you thought i'd wait
An' you thought i'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow i lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But i've found new thread for my old spool
Just because i'm blonde
Don't think i'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool
When you left you thought i'd sit
An' you thought i'd wait
An' you thought i'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow i lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun
You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But i've found new thread for my old spool
Just because i'm blonde
Don't think i'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

30. _ Mine
A little white house with black wooden shadows
A porch with its columns all covered with vine
My broken dream house where he lives with another
But this was supposed to be mine
Two little children that look like their daddy
With the same smile and the same eyes that shine
The only thing wrong i |
31. _ Islands In The Stream
Baby, when i met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin' going on
You do something to me that i can't explain
Hold me closer and i feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin' goin' on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah
Chorus:
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you did walk in tonight
Slowly loosen' sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, i will hurt you never
We start and end as one, in love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah

Oh, come sail away with me

32. _ Something Fishy
There must be something fishy going on
You said you were goin' on a fishin' trip with some old friend
You said that you'd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is, it's two o'clock and you're still not at home
I think there's something fishy goin' on
I think that i'm a sucker that's swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that it's all in my mind
But you never asked me if i'd like to go along
So there must be something fishy goin' on
Chorus:
There's something fishy goin' on
On these fishin' trips you're goin' on
I'm gettin' tired of stayin' home alone
Some night when you come home and discover that i'm gone
You can bet there's something fishy goin' on
I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I don't think you're a fisherman, honey
I think you're a flirt
Well if you're goin' fishin' then why don't you bring 'em home
I think there's something fishy goin' on
Repeat chorus

Yes, you can bet there's something fishy goin' on

33. _ Boulder To Birmingham
I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
I know there's life below me
And all that you can show me is the prairie and the sky
I don't want to hear a sad story filled with hearbreak and desire
The last time i felt like this
I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire
And i stood on the mountain in the night
And i watched it burn, i watched it burn, i watched it burn
Chorus:
I would rock my soul in the bosom of abraham
I would hold my life in a saving grace
I would walk all the way from boulder to birmingham
If i thought i could see, see your face
Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing i survive
And i've come to listen to the sounds of trucks
As they moved out on highway 95
And pretending it's the ocean coming to wash me clear
To wash me clear if you know what i mean

34. _ Fish Out Of Water
I feel so out of place here
With this high society
These high fallutin' people
Don't know what to make of me
I feel like a minnow in a sea of moby dicks
A small fry in a big pan
They're caviar -- i'm fish sticks
Fish out of water
I know i don't belong
Fish out of water
Everything i do is wrong
My style of hair, the clothes i wear
The way i speak, the things i eat
The way i act, my lack of tact
Nothin' seems to fit
Fish out of water
Flounderin' round
Out of my element
But i'm just as good as they are
Why do i feel second rate
It's like, "sorry charlie,
We want only tuna with good taste"
I guess you could say wal-mart
Is quite a way from gucci's
I'm timex, they're rolex
I'm captain d's, they're sushi
Fish out of water
I've had it to the gills
Fish out of water
With these yuppie-guppie frills
Yeah, i'm a square in a round hole
A catfish in a goldfish bowl
A little fish with lots of soul
Out of my element
Fish out of water
Flounderin' round just for the halibut
Save me, save me
S.o.s. somebody
Save me, save me
Somebody rescue me
Fish out of water
Somebody throw me in
Fish out of water
On a scale of one to ten
I'm a two, perhaps a three
Compared to the big fish in the sea
I'm washed ashore so save me please
I'm in an awful fix
Fish out of water
Rescue me
And you better do it quick
Fish out of water
It's such a culture shock
Fish out of water
My stomach's tied in knots
Fish out of water
Fish out of water

Fairly well i know you're leavin'

Cause she don't love you like i love you
Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart
She don't love you like i love you

She uses all the great quotations
She says all the things i wish i could say
But she's had so many rehearsals
Oh, to her it's just a lover's play
But wait when the final act is over
And you're left standin' all alone
When she takes her bow and makes her exit
Oh, well i'll be there to take you home
She don't love you like i love you
Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart
She don't love you like i love you
She's tryin' to tear us apart

38. _ Calm On The Water
In a dream i was walkin' in a beautiful field
I was gathering flowers at the foot of a hill
When a bright light descended and it spread o'er the land
Jesus stood on the mountain and he held out his hand
Then he came down from the mountain, headed down to the sea
And the children strowed flowers in the path at his feet
And he was filled with compassion and the beasts from the wild
Came as gentle as lambs and they all walked at his side
There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's peace in the valley, there's a stillness about
There's a light in the darkness, there's joy in his love
Ain't that a wonderful feelin', let us lift him up
Then he suddenly vanished from the crowd down below
Reappeared on the mountain in a radiant glow
He said your questions are many but the answer is love
I'll draw all men unto me if i be lifted up
There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's peace in the valley, there's a stillness about
There's a light in the darkness, there's joy in his love
There is life everlasting, let us lift him up
He said if i
Be lifted up
He said if i be lifted up, what did he say
He said if i
Be lifted up
He said if i be lifetd up
Let's lift him higher and higher
And higher and higher each day
Let's lift him up
He said if i
Be lifted up
Oh if i be lifted up
There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's peace in the valley, there's a stillness about
There's a light in the darkness, and joy in his love
It's a wonderful feelin', lift him up
He said if i
Be lifted up
He said if i be lifted up, that's what he said
He said if i
Be lifted up

I wanna feel this way
Longer than time
I wanna know your dreams
And make them mine
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel your pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
Here in a world of lies
You are the true
Chorus:
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Anything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what i was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All i need is your love to make me stronger

42. _ Mommie, Ain't That Daddy
The snow was fallin' swiftly and it mounted on the street
Little footprints in the snow made by our children's feet
As i walked them to the good will store to get some clothes to wear
As we turned around the corner i saw you standing there
I tried to turn the children and walk the other way
I prayed they hadn't seen you then i heard the baby say
"mommie, ain't that daddy holding out his hand
Begging for money from that other man?"
They asked me "ain't that daddy?"
And "yes" i had to say
And i wondered if i'd failed you
And made you turn this way
No, you didn't fail me, my weakness was just too strong
Because you see, i thought more of the bottle than our family and our home
No, you didn't fail me sweetheart, you loved me all you could
You had my babies and you loved me like no other woman ever would
You know i guess i'd be better off dead
Than in the awful ship i'm in
But death just don't seem to have a place for those that stay drunk on whiskey, wine and gin
You see i die a constant death over and over every day
If i could change, you know i'd do it for you, the babies and our home
But you might as well forget me for i'm just too forward gone
But i wish you would do me one last favor and do it just for me
When they ask you, "momma ain't that daddy?"
Just say "it used to be"

Each time our lips meet
I'm not strong when we're alone
Your kisses make me weak

Everytime you kiss me
You add fuel to the flame
My eyes light up when i see you
I burn with desire
Each time you're near
You say you'll care
But still i'm not sure
But please don't ask me to love you
If you're not gonna change my name
Everytime you touch me
You add fuel to the flame
This fire you started inside me
Has reached my very soul
You're adding fuel to a flame
That's already burning out of control
When you give me your name
I give you everything
Everytime you kiss me

Keep messing up my mind with all those thoughts of yesterday

47. _ A Cowboy's Ways
Sometimes he gets crazy as men are known to do
He'll lose his head in spite of everything he stands to lose
What is it in a man that makes him act like such a fool
She swears she never knew but always needed to
But stubborn pride is just the way of cowboys i suppose
Even love can't change the things he ought to change the most
And it's pride that keeps him standing when he should be on his knees
Makin' apologies but she loves him desperately
Oh but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all the perfect lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
To sweep her up and carry her away
Oh but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
"i love you" and "i'm sorry" are words that just don't come
Cause words like that are no match for the kind that rule his tongue
But his eyes keep tellin' her "you know i love you anyway
No matter what i say or what i never say"
Oh but now and again she wished he'd been a poet
So he'd know all those fancy lines to say
And have some great romantic way to show it
Be the hero ridin' up to save the day
And go ridin' high like a knight in shinin' armor
And sweep her up and carry her away
Oh but he don't have no magic ways to charm her
No cause even love can't change a cowboy's ways
His ways seem cold but she knows he's much warmer
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways
He's just a fool that must defend his honor
But even love can't change a cowboy's ways

Turned away with those gold cold cool eyes
You said won't you give me space to breathe
But my tears gave you confidence to leave
Now you say i'm just too much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
Ya better go, you better go
Go, go, go, you better go
All i know is how i feel
And my heart is always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity
Yesterday you were my brightest star
But even when you're near
I don't know where you are
I was wrong to show my weaker side
Now it's much too late to cry, cry, cry
I was blind to put my trust in you
If you leave me, i'll fall apart
Did you plan to make a fool out of me
From the start, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All i know is how i feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity
Now you say i'm too much for you

Why can't i shake it tell me where will this end
When will i get out of this blue rut i'm in

Chorus:
Dr. robert f. thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. robert f. thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song i hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him
Dr. thomas was a man
The lord must have appointed
To live among us mountain folks
In eastern tennessee
And he delivered more than half
The babies in those mountains
Among those babies
He delivered me
There was no way to drive along
The roads back in those mountains
But dr. thomas got there
Just the same
He often rode on horseback
To get where he was needed
But if he had to walk
He always came
Repeat chorus
Dr. thomas was a friend
A neighbor and a doctor
Though he seldom got a dime
For all he'd done
And i remember lots of times
We sent for dr. thomas
But i don't recall a time
He didn't come
They say a man is judged
By the deeds he does while livin'
A judgement when he stands
Before the lord
And i know heaven holds a place
For men like dr. thomas
And i know that he'll receive
His just reward

I know that most of you will know the kind i'm talkin' about
The kind that rather than have to work, he'd rather do without
But he's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
There's a group of men in the court house yard any time that you go by
Playin' checkers and tradin' odds and makin' jokes about their wives
They wait all week for pay day and they hold the money's plenty
And the wife that's worked those long hard hours never gets a penny
But he's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her

Like fireworks with no fuse

The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you
Christmas without you
White christmas and i'm blue
I love you i miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The sweetest gift i know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this christmas eve
The most joyous christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if saint nicholas brought you home to me
Christmas without you
White christmas and i'm blue
I love you i miss you i need you
So sad but so true
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you

54. _ Satisfied
If you ask me if i'm happy
For i have peace within
If i'm worried about tomorrow
When i reach my journey's end
I'm satisfied with my jesus
When he knocks i let him in
He'll go with me through the valley
For i know he is my friend
Chorus:
Satisfied, satisfied
No trouble can ever get me down
When my eyes shall close in death
With my jesus i'll be at rest
Then you'll know i'm satisfied
When my friends all forsake me
When they turn me from their door
If they sow no seedsof kindness
Make the thorns in my path grow
It won't matter over yonder
When i reach the other side
I'm gonna sit down with my jesus
And then you'll know i'm satisfied
Repeat chorus
When my eyes shall close in death
With my jesus i'll be at rest
Then you'll know i'm satisfied

55. _ Tie Our Love (in A Double Knot)
Gonna tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
Woah, if we want to endure
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
While we're wrapped up in those ties that bind
I want to make sure we don't unwind
So we'll tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
'cause i've got my dreams, baby you got yours
Put it together, we got a whole lot more
'cause i ain't lookin' for just one night
No, i want to make it the rest of our lives
So lets tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tie our love in a double knot
'cause these days love gets strained a lot
To give our hearts a double shot
Let's tie our love in a double knot
Tie our love in a double knot
Let's tie our love in a double knot

56. _ Too Lonely Too Long
No matter how you're tempted
Don't say yes to me
Don't make this night as smooth to lead me on
It's just that i'm so lonely and i need someone
I've been too lonely too long
Oh please be strong enough to refuse me
Before i let myself do something wrong
For down inside i'm not that kind of woman
I've been too lonely too long
Oh please don't take advantage of the situation
For i'm afraid that i'm too weak to resist temptation
When you're used to being loved
It's hard to live alone
I've been too lonely too long
I've been too lonely too long

57. _ We Might Be In Love
I love you, i love you
My heart seems to whisper
But my lips cannot form those words
I know my heart
Is calling out to you
In a voice you've already heard
Does your heart feel as if
It could burst any second
Is it racing, will not slow up
Do you just want to be
With me endlessly
Well i'm thinking
We might be in love
We might be in love
The best i can tell
I thinkin' thoughts
That i've never pondered
And i'm feeling like i've never felt
It's like i drink
From some magic posion
Sipping from your loving cup
Intoxicated, infatuated
I'm thinking we might be in love
We might be in love
What else could it be
These feelings of wonder
Passion and romance
Excitement and pure ectasy
We might be in love
And it might be forever
I think there's a future for us
If you just want to be
In and all over me
It might be, we might be in love
I promise for keeps
If you're feeling like me
Then it might be
We might be in love
I dare say
We might be in love

59. _ I Couldn't Wait Forever
I couldn't wait forever
Did you expect me to
I guess you thought i'd never
Find somebody new
I lived on dreams and promises
As long as i could
I couldn't wait forever
The way you thought i would
The lonely nights grew longer
As i prayed for time to fly
I lived on hopes that you'd return
And that's how i got by
The agony of loneliness
Just got too much for me
I couldn't wait forever
Needing love so desperately
So i found new lips to kiss me
New arms to hold me tight
I found new love and happiness
To fill these empty nights
You took my love for granted
Now my heart has found a new home
I couldn't wait forever
Forever's just too long
I couldn't wait forever
Forever's just too long

I once was blind
But now i see
I took him for granted
She took him from me
I once had a love
But now now i have none
And i'm, i'm as blue as can be
I treated him a-wrong
And now i'm, i'm all alone
I took him for granted
She took him from me
Well if i had known then
Just what i know now
I would've treated him so differently
And if i, if i had known
Well then i
I could've shown him more love
Than he'll ever see from her
I thought i had his love
In the palm of my hand
But i, i guess she showed me
And now i, i understand
Just how she, she got my man
I took him for granted
She took him from me

61. _ Jealous Heart
Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart
Sunny skies and a rosy bed
Thorns and storm clouds up ahead
'cause suddenly the sky turns dark
For those of us with a jealous heart
Imagination runnin' wild
Like a frantic frightened child
Any time that we're apart
I can't control my jealous heart
And you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart
I love you more than words can tell
One day's heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts
Spoken from my jealous heart
Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart
And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart
And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things, imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

62. _ Barbara On Your Mind
Last night you called me barbara
As you lay fast asleep
And although i'm not barbara
You wanted me to be
You whispered words i haven't heard
In such a long, long time
Last night you said i love you
With barbara on your mind
Sometimes i find traces of her kisses on your skin
And strands of chestnut hair
That say you've been with her again
Little traces of her that it breaks my heart to find
Last night you called me darlin'
With barbara on your mind
With barbara on your mind
You held me in your arms so tight
And lying there so close to you
I cried until day light
And though you think that i don't know
I'm really not that blind
Last night you said i love you
With barbara on your mind
Last night you called me darlin'
With barbara on your mind

63. _ Better Part Of Life
We're all together once again
For the first time in i don't know when
We were so close once upon a time
There were five of us kids at home
Two girls, three boys and dad and mom
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember that old swimming hole
Where we would swim so long ago
And all them possum grapes and muskedines
And do you recall the time
We all got drunk on homemade wine
That was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember how we talked as kids
Of what we'd be when we got big
And all the dreams that we held in our minds
I wanted to be a singin' star
And you all said that i'd go far
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember all the fun we had
Back when they say times were bad
And life was good to us and things were fine
We had fun and we had love
And a mom and dad to care for us
But that was is the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How i wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Sweet memories from the better part
Of life we left behind

64. _ Down From Dover
I know this dress i'm wearing doesn't hide the secret i have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover
And time is running out for me i wish that he would hurry down from dover
He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground
And i have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting's almost over
But i won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from dover
My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the home place
My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My mamma said i was a fool and she did not believe it when i told her
That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from dover
I loved him more than anything and i could not refuse him when he needed me
He was the only one i'd loved and i just can't believe that he was using me
He couldn't leave me here like this i know it can't be so it can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this so long, oh he'll be coming down from dover
My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where i'm lyin'
Our baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still i hear no cryin'
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her
And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from dover

You said that you loved me

Now you gone'n left me

Oh, why did you leave me
For somebody new
I wasted my tears
When i cried over you

When love is so new
Now out of my fears have come true
I wasted my tears
When i cried over you

How i've been feelin' lately
But i have stumbled across something rare
And you use it to bait me
Something tells me go
Everyone says no, no, no
How can they be so cruel
When they tell me don't touch you
I tell them i'll die
In your red hot screaming love
In your red hot screaming love
If i'm losing my senses
They're lost in your deepest emotions
And the jets in my heart
They won't start till you set them in motion
Something tells me go
Everyone says no, no, no
How can they be so cruel
When they tell me don't touch you
I tell them i'll die
In your red hot screaming love
In your red hot screaming love

68. _ Stay Out Of My Bedroom
1st verse:
Stay out of my bedroom
Don't be messin' up my pillows and sheets
With your powder and perfume
If you don't have some understanding of me
Don't be kncokin' on my door
I don't want you to play in my fantasies
Stay out of my bedroom
Baby, if you can't take the heat
Verse 2:
If you want it, come and get it, baby
Satisfaction guaranteed
I'm a pleaser, free and eager
I ain't never had as much fun as i need
Easy lovin', that's down my alley
I may be easy but, at least i'm cheap
Stay out of my bedroom, baby
Baby, if you can't take the heat
Chorus:
Stay out of
Stay out of
You're dealin' with some hot stuff
Baby, can you deal with the heat?
Bridge:
We might burn on forever, we might burn on tonight
Where there's smoke there is fire from the flames that i ignite
The heat is intense when the fire's blazin' high
Slavin' over all those red hot lovers at night
If you come to my bedroom the heart of the heat
I will pleasure your body in sheer ecstasy
I will touch you in places no one else ever reached
Till you won't remember anybody else but me
3rd verse :
If you want it come and get it
If it burns you don't come cryin' to me
Don't come knockin' on my door
Baby, if you can't take the heat
Don't be peepin' through my window
If you don't appreciate what you see
Stay out of my bedroom, baby
Baby, if you can't take the heat
Chorus:
Stay out of, stay out of
You're dealin' with some hot stuff
Baby, can you deal with the heat?
Stay out of my bedroom...
If you can't take it, stay out of my bedroom

69. _ Where Beauty Lives In Memory
She stands before the mirror
Smiles at her reflection
Striking sexy poses in the glass
She paints her lips a brilliant red
Piles her hair high on her head
Struggles to replace a false eyelash
She powders up her face
Paints her cheeks to match her lips
She wears a dress cut low in the front
Fittin?tight around her hips
And there inside her room
She stands and gazes at herself
Where beauty lives in memory
She lives in fairy tales
Chorus:
Mirror, mirror on the wall

You make me act like a fool
You treat me mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that i hate to do
Why do you make me act like a fool?
Now that you know just how much i care
You treat me mean and it ain't right nor fair
I keep holdin' on though i don't know what to
While you make me act like a fool
You know just how to hurt me and you often do
When we're out in publib i start fightin' with you
You start trouble in private when nobody knows
Oh, then you go away smellin' just like a rose
Though you make me act like a fool
You treat me mean cold and cruel
You make me do things that i hate to do
Oh, why must you make me act like a fool?
You know just how to hurt me as you often do
You start flirtin' in public with somebody new
You start trouble in private when nobody knows
Oh then you go away smellin' just like a rose
Though you make me act like a fool
You treat mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that i hate to do
Oh but why do you make, oh why do i let you
Make me look like a fool?

But somebody's got to do it
Better get to it
Somebody's gotta do it
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Any work at all

Better buckle down to it
Gotta get the job done
Gotta earn my pay... i gotta earn my pay

And there ain't no millionaires
Lookin' for me
And somebody's gotta do it, do it
Somebody's gotta do it, do it
Somebody's gotta do it, do it

I'd rather do
I might get lucky
And i'm hopin' to
But until i do
I gotta compromise
The job ain't much
But at least it's mine
It beats standin'
In the unemployment line
Put pride aside
And i'll improvise
Even if i do get a better job
Somebody else
Has gotta fill my spot
Somebody's gotta do it, do it
Somebody's gotta do it, do it
Somebody's gotta do it, do it

Even when pride is too hard to swallow
It's another day so it's another dollar
That's what it's all about, oh
It's a dirty job
But somebody's got to do it
Better get to it
Somebody's gotta do it
Whatever it takes
Gotta keep the faith
Any work at all
Is better than none
Better buckle down to it
Gotta get the job done
Gotta earn my way
And it's a workin' day
The job ain't much
But at least it's mine
It beats standin'
In the unemployment line
Somebody's gotta do it, do it
Somebody's gotta do it, do it

When my back was turned she took him away
Now while they're all outside, waiting to throw rice
What i want to throw will surely black her eyes
'cause i don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love i had
No, i don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad
Well i never stole nothin' in my life
But if i get the chance i'll steal him from his wife
'cause all is fair in love and war, maybe i'm carryin' this too far
But i feel like tying dynamite to her side of the car
No i don't want to throw rice

No, i don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
Because you're mine i walk the line

I find myself alone when each day's through
Yes i admit it, i am a fool for you
Because you're mine i walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day's light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness i've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, i walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that i can't hide
For you i know i'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, i walk that line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, i walk the line

They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe you're in heaven
Then they'll drag you through hell on your knees
It's just one emotion after another
One day i'm up just as high as it goes
Next day i'm down to the lowest of lows
I do love you baby but we can't get along
With or without each other it's al right or it's all wrong
It's hard to determine where the balance should be
We swear it's forever while we're packing to leave
Each time we end it i swear never again
But the minute you come knockin' i can't wait to let you in
It's just one emotion after another
They will dress themselves as angels and theives
They will make you believe you're in heaven
Then they'll drag you through hell on your knees
It's just one emotion after another
It's been that way since lovim' began
Like an ocean love flows with it's highs and it's lows
Like the tide it just goes out and in
It's just one emotion after another
It's just one emotion after another
But i guess that's just the way that it goes
Love is rainbow and rain, love is pleasure and pain
I cannot stay the same i suppose
But i love you and that's all i know

And today well, it's been one of those days
It's been one of those days and my heart feels so heavy
And my mind is so full of thoughts of you
It's been one of those days and i'd give my life to see you
And to once more know the love that we once knew
And even though it's over i never will get over
Oh these feelings that i get on certain days

Eve you wicked woman, you done put your curse on me
Why didn't you just leave that apple hangin' in the tree
You make us hate our husbands, our lovers and our boss
Why i can't even count the good friends i've already lost
Cause of pms blues, pms blues
I don't even like myself, but it's something i can't help
I got those god almighty, slap somebody pms blues
Most times i'm easy going, some say i'm good as gold
But when i'm pms i tell ya, i turn mean and cold
Those not afflicted with it are affected just the same
You poor old men didn't have to grin and say "i feel your pain"
Pms blues, pms blues
You know you must forgive us for we care not what we do
I got those can't stop crying, dishes flying pms blues
But you know we can't help it
We don't even know the cause
But as soon as this part's over, then comes the menopause
Oh, lord, oh, lord
We're going to always be a heap of fun
Like the devil taking over my body, suffering, suffering, suffering
Everybody's suffering, huh?
But a woman had to write this song, a man would be scared to
Lest he be called a chauvenist or just fall victim to
Those pms blues
You know we'd kill for less than that
Pms blues
You don't want to cross my path
Cause a pitbull ain't no match
For these teeth a clenchin', fluid retention
Head a swellin', can't stop yellin'
Got no patience, i'm so hateful
Pms blues, premenstrual syndrome
Got those moods a swingin', tears a slingin'
Nothin' fits me when it hits me
Rantin', ravin', misbehavin'
Pms blues
It's the only time in my life i ever think about wishing i'd been a man
But you know that only means one thing
If i'd have been a man, i'd be somewhere right this very minute
With some old cranky, naggin', raggin' hateful woman
With those old pms blues
Pms blues
I don't want to talk about it, we both could do without it
Got those treat your kids bad, don't you talk back
Gone ballistic, unrealistic
Awful lowdown, bitch to be around

And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge
Seeing myself in the water below

Long time gone and a long time ago
When i shattered my image with the rocks i'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw
I'm far from perfect but i ain't all bad
And it hurts me more than it makes me mad
We all do things that we don't want told
And we all throw stones that we shouldn't throw
You shatter my image with the rocks you throw
Long time gone and a long time ago
When i shattered my image with the rocks i'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw
If you live in a glass house don't throw stones
Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own
Look at your reflection in your house of glass
Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash
Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash
Long time gone and a long time ago
When i shattered my image with the rocks i'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks you throw
Don't shatter my image with the rocks you throw

80. _ The Fire That Keeps You Warm
Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm
Let me be the someone that you need
Let me be the shelter that you seek
Let me be your strength when you are weak
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm
Let me be the one always around
Let me help you up when you are down
Let me make a smile out of a frown
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm

81. _ The Greatest Gift Of All
Dawn is slowly breaking
Our friends have all gone home
You and i are waiting
For santa clause to come
There's a present by the tree
Stockings on the wall
And knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all
The fire is slowly fading
Chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting
For children everywhere
Throught the window i can see
Snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all
Just before i go to sleep
I hear a church bell ring
Merry christmas everyone
Is the song it sings
So i say a silent prayer
For creatures great and small
Peace on earth, good will to men
Is the greatest gift of all
Peace on earth, good will to men
Is the greatest gift of all

82. _ The River Unbroken
Waiting for the train to come
I keep a'waiting for the train to come
Dreamin' of the river and the rising sun
I keep thinkin' 'bout the world to come
My life packed up in a suitcase
Old man staring from a doorway
My hope tarries in the distance
Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
Waitin' for the train to come
I keep waitin' for the train to come
Keepin' my appointment with the one who lives
In the heart of everything that is
All night sleepin' in a station
My god, it's hard not to be impatient
I watch through the windows of forgiveness
I cry but my word's my only witness
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
Sometimes i feel i can't go on, i can't go on
I get so tired, all passion's gone
My heart, my head, my arms, my legs, i get so tired
Without the strength to crawl away
Then something breaks inside my soul, my strength is gone
That spirit's finally taking hold
My ears can hear, my eyes can see
Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is, where is the river unbroken
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
Fade:
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come...

83. _ Down On Music Row
Chorus:
Down on music row
Down on music row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go
I could feel a change a comin'
I left my hometown a hummin'
With my ol' guitar a strummin'
Songs that i had wrote
I was on my way to nashville
I just couldn't hardly wait
'till i could sing my songs
To the folks on music row
I got into nashville early
Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty
And on the steps of rca
I ate a stale, sweet roll
In the fountain at the hall of fame
I washed my face and read the names
In the walkway of the stars
Down on music row
Repeat chorus
I waited there 'till eight o'clock
When office doors became unlocked
Then i started walkin'
Down the streets of music row
Just a walkin' up and down the street
Tryin' to find out who to see
To help me get on record
And to hear the songs i'd wrote
But i found it goin' rough
Everyone was all tied up
Either in a conference
Or in the studio
They said that i could leave a tape
But they'd suggest i didn't wait
'cause everyone was awful busy
Down on music row
But i could feel that change a comin'
And i just kept right on a hummin'
With my ol' guitar still strummin'
All them songs that i'd wrote
And then chet and bob at rca
Well, they listened to my songs that day
And they both told me that i was on my way
Down on music row

84. _ Even A Fool Would Let Go
It's funny how love goes
Cause i know this could never work out
But honey, how love grows
Even though there's no reason to doubt
This can never be
You keep saying it's wrong
Neither one of us is free
Still i want to hold on
Chorus:
When even a fool would let go
Cause he knows that there's no use in trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now, is it wise holdin' you
Even a fool would let go
Love has no reason
Like the words in a song that don't rhyme
My love has no season
I just know that it's there all the time
Maybe just you and me
I can't believe that it's wrong
Thinking about you and me
Just makes me want to hold on
Repeat chorus
Tell me now, is it wise holdin' you
When even a fool would let go

85. _ Heartsong
Chorus:
A heartsong melody play like a symphony
The sweetest music i have ever known
A song of joy and pain
The mountain angels sing
A bittersweet refreign of my smokey mountain home, heartsong
Farmer's daughter if you will
And i often wonder still
In memories where i rammbled as a child
Makes me cry and makes me laugh
My reflections on the past
And the family, friends, and faith that shaped my life
Ragged clothes and hand-me-downs
Just enough to go around
But the sweetest things in life are always free
Like the songs the birds would sing
And the sweet new grass of spring
And the sacred blossoms on the dogwood tree
Repeat chorus
And i recall the thrill and joy
Of a smokey mountain boy
I remember my first kiss and my first love
And the songs i'd song and write
And the dreams i'd clutch so tight
And the loved ones that gave me that extra shove
And in that little house 'a prayer
Where i spent many hour
Prassin' god and liftin' up his name
And asking him to lead and to keep watch over me
As i headed up that rocky road to fame
And now this, smokey mountain girl has been all around the world
But it makes no difference just how far i roam
I still cling to that part that is so dear to my heart
My faith in god and memories of home
Repeat chorus

86. _ I'll Oil Wells Love You
I met a man in texas
And oh, he was so fine
And i said to myself
Self, i'm gonna make him mine
He owned a lot of oil wells and his bank roll sure was healthy
And i new if i married him i'd suddenly be wealthy
Oh i'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear
Well i never had no money
Not a penny to my name
And i said i'd find a rich man
And i'd love my way to fame
So he took mt in his arms
And i cuddled up real near
The money bug then bit me and i wispered in his ear
Oh, i'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear
He looked in to my eyes and thought he saw a love light shine
Nearly did he know that that light was dollar signs
Now that we are married there ain't nothin' left to tell
We'll live happily ever after because all is well that ends well
Oh, i'll oil wells love you
I'll oil wells care
I'll oil wells need you
I want you oil wells dear

87. _ Straight Talk
Gimme some straight talk, straight talk -- and hold the sugar please
Straight talk, straight talk -- sounds plenty sweet to me
Don't talk to me in circles in some mumbo-jumbo jive
Gimme just straight talk, straight talk and we're gonna be alright
'cause i like to know just where i stand, i don't like guessing games
And i hate a bunch of gibberish, so just spit it out real plain
Don't use big educated words from your bs degree
Straight talk, straight talk -- don't try b.s.-ing me
Straight talk, straight talk -- turn loose and let it go
You can tell me anything -- just like on oprah's show
Just tell me how you really feel, be on the up and up
With questions i can understand -- for answers you can trust
Pick up the 'phone, you're not alone -- we've all got something to say
So listen in and listen up -- we'll find a better way
With honesty and common sense, it's really hard to miss
Straight talk, straight talk -- just tellin' it like it is
Straight talk, straight talk -- there's nothing like the truth
Just tell me all your troubles -- pretend i'm donahue
So don't be shy, 'cause we can talk -- you know you've got a friend
Call me, call me -- for simple straight talkin'
What's cookin', america?
Straight talk, straight talk
Straight talk, straight talk
So some on let's talk turkey, just straight and to the point
About passions, about problems, about noses out of joint
Now i want you all to know i care and i do understand
And hey, thanks for lending me and ear out there in radioland
Give me some straight talk, straight talk -- don't sugar coat it please
Straight talk, straight talk -- sounds sweet enough to me
But don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive
Straight talk, straight talk -- and we're gonna be alright
Straight talk, straight talk -- makes plenty sense to me
Don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive
Gimme just straight talk, straight talk -- and we're gonna be alright
Gimme just straight talk, straight talk -- and we're gonna be alright

We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way
I will never love you
The cost of love's too dear
But though i'll never love you
I'll live with you one year
And we will sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way
I'll sing to you each morning
I'll kiss you every night
But darlin', don't cling to me
I'll soon be out of sight
But we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way
My daddy he once told me
Hey, don't you love you any man
Just take what they can give you
And give but what you can
And you can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And i'll be on my way
And when our year has ended
And i have gone away
I'll often speak about you
And this is what i'll say
You know we sang in the sunshine
We laughed every day
We sang in the sunshine
Then i went on my way

You never close your eyes anymore when i kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, baby
But baby, baby i know it
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when i reach for you
And now your're starting to critisize little things i do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'cause baby, something in you is dying
You lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah
Baby, baby, i get down on my knees and pray to you
If you would only love me like you used to do
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Oh, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone
And i can't go on, woah
You've lost the lovin' feeling
Woah, that lovin' feeling

Somebody, somebody who will always care
We get locked up in our own worlds
With feelings and secrets we're afraid to share
But all i have to do is see you smile
And maybe, just maybe if i brush your hand
Something happens i cannot explain
And somehow, oh somehow i can understand

And when you need some lovin' i'll be there
Beside you anticipating everything
Oh it's like i always said
You're the one i want
All i want is you
I'm inside your head

Precious sacred scenes unfold

93. _ Thought I Couldn't Dance
Stand back, and give me room
And listen to that beat
I got the music in my soul
And the rhythm in my feet
When i hear the music,
You won't catch me standing still
And i won't miss a beat
I never have and i never will
And you thought i couldn't dance
And you thought i couldn't dance
I can dance to anything
That any band can play
I've got old-fashioned values
But i'm pretty up to date
And i know all the latest hits
On the radio
You don't have to join me
Stand back and watch my show
And you thought i couldn't dance
And you thought i couldn't dance
Thought i couldn't dance
Hey, watch me prance
Let's make romance
Thought i couldn't dance
You gotta take a chance
If you're gonna learn to dance
And you thought i couldn't dance
And you thought i couldn't dance
There's a lot of closet dancers
Just dyin' to come out
They dance alone inside their rooms
With the music way up loud
And i know you thought i couldn't dance
But i guess i sure fooled you
It just goes to show you never know
Who's wearing dancin' shoes
And you thought i couldn't dance
I'm full of surprises
And you thought i couldn't dance
It's too late now
I can't slow down...can't slow down
Oh, feel the heat
From these dancin' feet... can't slow down
And you thought i couldn't dance
And you thought i couldn't dance

And you're everything every girl dreams about
And being with you would be heaven no doubt

98. _ Evening Shade
My train of thought was broken by a sudden burst of laughter
Something badly needed to brighten up the chores
Seemed old mrs. bailey had accidentally fell
In the water being used to scrub the floors
Now mrs. bailey was the meanest matron at the home
She believed in lots of work with little play
And we laughed till we bent double
Though we knew we'd get in trouble
But trouble's all we had at evening shade
Now evening shade was where they claim to teach you understanding
To teach you love and keep you off the streets
And all the kids that live here are said to be a problem
Juvenile delinquents so to speak
But understanding isn't learned from punishment and anger
An iron has no gentle touch and love ain't learned from hate
The reason we were here is 'cause we had no one who cared
But they cared even less at evening shade
Little susan bradley, one night had wet her bed
Mrs. bailey took the razor strap and beat her half to death
And i knew that something must be done to put an end to this
And so i started talking plans with the older kids
Plans were that joe johnson would steal the kerosene
And i would get some matches when nobody seen
Beckie adams would make sure the kids were all outside
Billy watson would look out for the evil eye
Now mrs. bailey took a nap at three o'clock each day
We knew that she'd be a'sleeping as the plans got underway
Now that its all over and the sun is going down
There's no evening shade 'cause we burned it to the ground

99. _ Harper Valley Pta
I want to tell you all a story 'bout a harper valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter that attended harper valley junior high
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And she said, "mama, i've got a note here from the harper valley pta"
Well the note says "mrs. johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
It's been reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
Now we don't believe you ought to be a bringin' up your little girl this way"
And it was signed by the secretary, harper valley pta
Well it happened that the pta was gonna meet that very afternoon
And boy, were they surprised as mrs. johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard i can still recall the word she had to say
She said "i'd like to address this meeting of the harper valley pta
Now there's bobby taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date
And mrs. taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And mr. baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't widow jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down
Now mr. harper couldn't be here 'cause he's stayed too long in kelly's bar again
And if you smell shirley thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And then you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that i ain't fit
Well this is just a little payton place and you're all harper valley hypocrits
Now i wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way
That day my mama socked it to the harper valley pta
That day my mama socked it to 'em at the harper valley pta

101. _ Make Love Work
Of all the roads i've traveled and all the sights i've seen
The most amazing thing is the power of our dreams
And anything is possible for those who can believe
Just get your heart to rearrange its priorities
For us to make love work
We've got to try a little harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work
It takes faith in one another to see things eye to eye
And it's hard to trust but you know it's worth the try
There's a candle in my window and whenever you feel blue
You can bet your bottom dollar i'll be there for you
For us to make love work
We've got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work
Oh i do believe in miracles
But i know they don't come easy
So why don't we give destiny
A helping hand
For us to make love work
We've got to try a little bit harder
And for love to work we gotta hold on
A human heart is just too precious
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work
Life is just too beautiful
To spend it feeling hurt
Let's start to take the chance to make love work

Though the sun may be dawning
You're the one that lights the morning
As i awake to the heaven
Of your sweet summer lovin'
By a stream in the country
Running barefoot and feeling free
While the love in our hearts blend
Into sweet summer lovin'
Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions
Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine
When that big red balloon sets
Like a painting across the west
As the sky turns a crimson blue
As the world turns for me and you
By the light of the moon glowing
While the warm summer wind blows
'cross the sill of your window
We'll be letting our love flow
Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions
Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine
Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions
Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine
Sweet summer lovin'

I love your sweet summer lovin'
Sweet summer lovin'

103. _ Burning To Burned
You lied to me
I can't believe
That i've been such a fool
I thought this time
I might find
Someone who would play by the rules
My mind said no
But my heart said go
And again i've made the wrong turn
Now here i stand
My heart in your hands...
And i've gone from burning to burned
Ah, you'd think by now
I'd know how
To keep this heart of mine safe
It goes to show
You just never know
Who can you trust these days
How could i make
The same mistake
But as far as i'm concerned
Got myself to blame
Got to close to the flame
Now i've gone from burning to burned
Everyone knows
The old saying goes
That a fool in love
Never learns
But i guess i forgot
'cause the fire was too hot...
Now i've gone from burning to burned
Oh i guess i forgot
'cause the fire was too hot...
Now i've gone from burning to burned

105. _ Savin' It For You
I've been waiting for so long
For someone who's as wonderful as you
Someone who's kind and always cares
And baby you're the answer to my prayers
You appear and i'm brand new
I love it, hey, i love it 'cause it's you
And for all the sweet things that you do
You got a little present comin' you

You keep me high up in the sky
Honey, yes you, you fill my cup
You keep a shiny and twinkling light in my eye

Lovers who love and love to play
You have been all that i can think about
There's never a doubt it's you
And you alone that turns me on
Anticipation now is gone
And we're alone
So just get comfy and, oh yeah, unplug the phone

All my love, all my love, all my lovin' for tonight
I've been savin' it for you

106. _ Wild Texas Wind
Don't ask me if i'm crying
Can't you see it ain't raining
No, this ain't sand in my eyes
Before it has been spoken
When one good heart gets broken
That's enough to make a cowgirl cry
Cause here i am, all by myself
My man he just up and left
He said he would never try again
Now the thing that hurts me most
When he makes up his mind to go
He'll be gone, like a wild texas wind
Chorus:
Like a wild texas wind
Oh my man is gone again
I feel lonesome settin' in
Like a wild texas wind
Like a wild texas wind
Oh my man is gone, he's gone, he's gone again
I feel lonesome sittin' in
Like a wild texas wind
Hmmmm

107. _ Letter To Heaven
An old man was sitting at his table one day
Writing a letter to pass time away
His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee
Saying won't you please write a letter for me
Oh what must i say in this letter i pray
Tell mommy i miss her since she went away
I coming to see her real soon i hope
He choked back a big lump that rose in his throat
He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
To god up in heaven you'll get it i hope
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
Her big eyes were shining her little face pale
She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way
And when she stepped out never looked either way
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
The little girls prayers had been answered at last
The postman was passing and picked up the note
Addressed to the master and these words he spoke
Straight up into heaven this letter did go
She's happy up there with her mommy i know

We sang a love song the day that we met
You thought that we made the perfect duet
You liked my performance so you wanted to know
If i would stay on as the star of the show
And beautiful music we made for a time 'til she changed our tune
And you added new lines
Our duet arrangement became a trio
Now you want a star, but i just think you should know

109. _ Kentucky Gambler
He wanted more from like
Than four kids and a wife
And a job in the dark kentucky mines
A twenty-acre farm
With a shacky house and barn
That's all he had
And all he left behind
At gambling he was lucky
So he left kentucky
Left behind his woman and his kids
Into the gay casino
In nevada's town of reno
Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick
Kentucky gambler, who's gonna love your woman in kentucky
Who's gonna be the one to give her what she needs
Kentucky gambler, who's gonna raise your children in kentucky
Who's gonna keep them fed and keep shoes on their feet
At the gamblers' paradise
Lady luck was on his side
Kentucky gambler played his cards just right
He won at everything he played
Kentucky gambler had it made
And he should have quit and gone on home that night
But when you love the greenback dollar
Sorrow's always bound to follow
Reno dreams fade into neon amber
And lady luck, she'll leave you on
She'll saty awhile, and then she's gone
You'd better go on home kentucky gambler
But a gambler never seems to stop
Til he loses all he's got
And so, kentucky gambler, he played on
He played til he lost all he won
He was right back where he started from
Then he started wanting to go home
Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody waiting in kentucky
When you walked out, somebody else walked in
Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky
Seems to me a gambler looses much more than he wins
So you think about it

110. _ Making Believe
Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still i'll never own you
Making believe, its all i can do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that i'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
Making believe that i never lost you
But my happy hours are fun and so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe what else can i do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe that i'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe

111. _ Old Black Kettle
Well i remember when i was just little
Mama used to cook on an old black kettle
On an old wood stove she'd had since she was wed
Well the oven door was sprung a little bit
So we propped it up with a forked stick
But that didn't matter cause mama kept us fed
My mama and daddy must have loved each other
Cause i had eleven sisters and brothers
And the girls worked just as hard as the boys did
There was corn to hoe then we'd go hoe it
We might have been poor but we didn't know it
We'd heard that word but we didn't know what it meant
Oh we used to have such a good life
And the days that i knew then are the happiest i've known
And oh didn't we have such a good time
It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone
Well there was nothing that pleased us any better
Than when we got an occasional letter
From kin folks livin' up north in some big town
We'd think of all the games we'd play
And we just couldn't hardly wait
When our city cousins said they'ze a comin' down
Now mama's done away with the old black kettle
She used to cook in when i was just little
And the door ain't sprung on her electric range
That little farm and home we had
It ain't there no more and that's too bad
Folks are doin' away with the simple things
And oh we used to have such a good life
And the days that i knew then are the happiest i've known
And oh didn't we have such a good time
It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone
Now, i just mean to say the simple things are gone
The old black kettle's gone

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some missletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with eyes all aglow
Who find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-four
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas
Merry christmas
Merry christmas to you

While traveling thru this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world yo which i go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to ram
I'm only going over jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where god's redeedmed their vigils keep
I'm going there to my mother
She said she'd meet me when i come
I'm only going over jordan

Two little children a boy and a girl
Sat by and old church door
The little girls feet were as brown as the curl
That fell on the dress that she wore
The little boys clothes were all tattered and torn
They shone beneath his blue eyes
Why don't you go home to your mommy i said
And this was the maidens reply
Mommy's is heaven angels took her away
Left jim and i all alone
We've no one to love us daddy is dead
And our darling mother is gone
Mommy got sick angels took her away
To dwell in those matins so bright
She said she would come for her children someday
And i guess she's coming tonight
The sexton came early to ring the church bell
And found them beneath the snow white
The angels made room for the orphans to dwell
Up in heaven with their mommy that night

Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas i'll be home with bells on

Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to other's lives
It's christmas time again another year has come and gone
And i can't keep from wonderin' how the old folks are at home
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas i'll be home with bells on
When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright
And the kids are singing jingle bells around the christmas lights
As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on
There ain't nothing going to slow me down this christmas i'll be home
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the christmas music on
This christmas i'll be home with bells on

118. _ A Christmas To Remember
You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Strangers meet and they willingly surrender
Oh! what a christmas to remember
Almost went to aspen but something told me no
I considered mammoth but there wasn't enough snow
And i even thought of gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go
So i headed up to tahoe for a christmas on the slopes
And i had fantasized about christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in a tahoe ski chalet
With a fast talking lover and some slow burning wood
But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good and
You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Change the radio and i'll turn the lights down dimmer
Oh! what a christmas to remember
Strangers when we met, lovers as we leave
Christmas to remember, too good to believe
Don't know how or when, but i know we'll meet again
We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind
And you've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
Oh! what a christmas to remember
We loved and laughed and played and joked
Sang christmas songs and talked to folks
Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes
Then to the lodge for dinner
But now it's time for us to go
As our hearts melt like chimney snow
There's just one thing i want to know
Can we do this next winter
Oh! what a christmas to remember
You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Though the fire is hot, we'll just have to let it simmer
Oh! what a christmas to remember
You've made this a christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of december
Though it's cold outside we'll just stroke the burning embers
Oh! what a christmas to remember

Ye though i am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
Like david slewed galiath
I will claim this battle field
I'm a brave little soldier
I must do what i can
I'm a brave little soldier
And i must take a stand
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Marching, marching onward
Searching out the light of truth
I did not start the war
But it's a battle i can't lose
Faith will be my armor
And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, i will, i will
A brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And i must carry on
A brave little soldier

120. _ Little Blossom
Oh dear i'm so tired and so lonesome
I wonder why mommy don't come
She told me to shut up my blue eyes
And before i woke up she'd be home
She said she was going to see grandma
Who lives by the river so wide
And i guess my mommy's feeling bad
And perhaps she won't be home tonight
So i guess i'll go down and meet daddy
Perhaps he has stopped at the store
It's a great big store full of bottles
And i wish he wouldn't go there anymore
So out in the night with the baby
Her little heart beating with pride
'til her tired feet entered the gin palace
With music all radiant with light
Oh daddy she cried as she reached him
I think that the music's so sweet
But it's almost suppertime daddy
Little blossom wants something to eat
A moment his blurred eyes gazed wildly
Down into her face sweet and fair
And as the demon possessed him
He grasped at the back of a chair
A moment a second was over
He lifted her fair golden head
A moment the baby's left trembled
Then poor little blossom was dead

Cause you're known by the company you keep

I feel i know what's best for you
I feel that i must warn you sis
That's the least that i could do
I'm not accusing you of anything
I know it's fun you see
But you're known by the company you keep
The company you keep keeps you out too long
Mom and dad don't go to sleep until you get home
Sis, you're gettin' in too deep
You'd better look before you leave
Cause you're known by the company you keep
Sis, you're gettin' in too deep
The road of life is steep
And you're known by the company you keep

Whenever i look at you
That you think that i'm untrue
'cause i said that i love two
But i really really do
'cause you're a split personality
And in reality
Both of them are you
But i've got two lovers and i ain't ashamed
Two lovers and i love them both the same

123. _ Wrong Direction Home
In a shingle covered cottage at the foothills of blue stacks
Near a mountain stream that's flowing crystal clear
Where the humming birds and honey bees feed on mama's roses
My mem'ries just grow sweeter with the years
Mem'ries of my childhood are as sweet as mountain honey
And as fresh as a dew on morning glory vines
I grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature
And they're forever present in my mind
But i'm headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
There's no place like home
But i'm headed in the wrong direction home
Teardrops mingled with the summer rain that was a falling
The day i left my mountain home behind
With a suitcase in my hand and a hope in my heart
I was following a dream i had to find
In that shingled covered cottage at the foothills of the smokies
Waits a family hat i'm longing to see
And mountain streams and fields of green
And rolling hills stay in my dreams
But i'm many, many miles from tennessee
And still headed in the wrong direction home
Headed in the wrong direction home
But maybe i'll get back before too long
But i'm headed in the wrong direction home

And daddy once was able to hold his head up high

Now they cry, but i'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
I loved a boy and then i found that he just lead me on
So in my hurt and bitterness
I let myself go alone
But all i did was hurt myself
And shame my family
And now they cry but i'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
No i'm not worth
The salt in one tiny tear
Oh why have i brought shame
To the one i loved so dear
I'm so sorry that i hurt them
But they'll never know how sorry
And now they cry but i'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
Yes now they cry, but i'm not worth

Once upon a christmas far away in bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So joseph found a stable in which mary had her child
Once upon a christmas was the birth of jesus christ
Once upon a christmas in a manger far away
A king was born his palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swaddling cloth a halo was his crown
Once upon a christmas away in bethlehem
And all the world rejoiced because the king was born at last
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a christmas was the birth of jesus christ
Once upon a christmas from the far east wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn king
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship him
Once upon a christmas away in bethlehem
And all the world rejoiced because the king was born at last
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that he was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a christmas was the birth of jesus christ

He lived by the apple orchard in this little orchard shack
His real name was jackson taylor but i called him applejack
Now old applejack was loved by everyone he ever knew
Applejack picked apples but he picked the banjo too
Chorus:
Play a song for me applejack, applejack
Play a song for me and i'll sing
Play a song for me applejack, applejack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
Now i'd go down to applejack's almost everyday
We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old applejack had made
Then he'd take his banjo down then he'd ask me if i'd sing
And he would play the banjo and i'd play my tambourine
Repeat chorus
That's when i was just a kid and now that i am grown
All i have are memories, old applejack is gone
Oh but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
And everytime i play it i still hear applejack

127. _ Livin' A Lie
Spotlight's on, it's shining bright
And i like standin' in it
It's only superficial light
But i don't want to end it
It's warmth and glow has taken hold
And i'm caught uup in it's shine
A cinderella fairy tale
I want to claim as mine
Fancy clothes, a magic coach
And happy ever after
Like something from a story book
The cinderella chapter
But when the clock strikes midnight
And i lie awake in bed
Things my daddy told me
Keep running through my head
You gotta walk the straight and narrow
And to thine own self be true
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
All eyes are up on you
But sometimes it feels so good
That i can almost justify
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Is it wrong for me to want
The sweeter grass that's greener?
To chase the all-american dream
I've always been a dreamer
At the top and still i've got
A heavy heart inside
I keep remembering
Things my daddy told me as a child
You gotta walk the striaght and narrow
Gotta hold fast to the right
Gotta aim straight as an arrow
Walk onward toward the light
Oh, but when i'm out there in it
I think i might get by
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
But i don't feel right livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
All the fame and fortune
Glory and prestige
Can't make me happy if it goes
Against what i believe
And i've sacrificed my honor
My values and my pride
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie -- livin' a lie
Livin' a lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, i don't feel right

Like the phoenix
From the ash and dirt
I rose up from the pain and hurt
When i was at my very worst
I found you
Thought i could never love again
When a stream of light came beaming in
A thread of hope
For me to spend around you
Chorus:
Unlikely angel
Standing there in front of me
As if you were my destiny
Like we were always meant to be together
Unlikely angel
It feels so right inside your love
Like god has sent you from above
To honor, cherish, and to love forever
The smile upon your angel face
The heaven in your eyes replace
The hell that i've been going through
Before you
How long have you been there for me
I once was blind but now i see
A future full of hope
How i adore you
Repeat chorus
Unlikely angel
Oh, you never know where one might be
In sacred halls or crowded streets
But god has sent one straight down to me from heaven
Unlikely angel
Unlikely angel
Unlikely angel
Unlikely angel

I know that you're out there
Knowing that there's someone out here thinkin' of you
In your heart and in your mind
I know there is no doubt that someone loves you
And i know that you know
That i'll be waiting here when you have need of me
And when the world has chained you down
I know you know my love will set you free
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
How does it feel to know that someone's always thinkin' of you
Oh and how does it feel to know that someone puts no one above you
How does it feel to know that someone loves you, someone loves you
I have come to know and love you
Like i've never known or loved another
Words have not been made
That could describe these feelings we have for each other
And i would go to any length
To let you know at all times that i care
'cause i want you to know
That any time you reach for me you'll find me there
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
How does it feel to know that someone's always thinkin' of you
Oh and how does it feel to know that someone puts no one above you
How does it feel to know that someone loves you, someone loves you
Someone loves you, how does it feel to know it
Someone loves you, how does it feel to know that someone
Loves you, someone loves you, how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
Somebody loves you, how does it feel, how does it feel
How does it feel to know that someone loves you
Someone loves you, somebody loves you
Somebody loves you, how does it feel to know it

131. _ The Giving And The Taking
I keep on a' givin'
And i took all the takin'
I gave all my love to you
And i took all your hurt
I treated you so good
But you treated me like dirt
They say love is give and take
Now my poor heart is breakin'
I keep on a' givin'
And i took all the takin'
I always gave you everything
That i knew how to give i would for you
I treated you too good for my own good
Now i'm along and left forsaken
I keep on a' givin'
And took all the takin'
The giving and the takin'
Has caused my heart to break
I've given all that i can give
And i have taken all that i can take
The giving and the takin'
Has caused my heart to break
I've given all that i can give
And i have takin' all that i can take

132. _ The Little Things
You never send me flowers
Or ever buy me candy
You never bring me pretty things
When you come to see me
And you forgot my birthday
Oh i wish you could see
How i miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
You never say that i look nice
Or that you're proud of me
You overlook
The little things
That you should see
These little things are big enough to hurt
But too small to make me want to leave
But i do miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
Now how can i miss flowers
That never reach my door
How can i taste candy
That's still at the candy store
These little things mean a lot to me
To you they may be silly
But i do miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
Yes i miss
The little things
That you don't do for me
