and i've learned to be gentle and i've learned to be tough I've found only two things that last to the end One is your heroes and the other your friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin and that's how it goes with heroes and friends I grew up with cowboys i watched on tv My friends and i sometimes pretended to be Years have gone by but now and again my heart rides the range with my heroes and friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin and that's how it goes with heroes and friends Your heroes will help you find good in yourself Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else They'll both stand beside you thru thick and thru thin and that's how it goes with heroes and friends that's how it goes with heroes and friends |

Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked Long ago in the sweet used to be And the flowers still grow, but they don't smell as sweet As they did when you picked them for me Chorus: And when I think of you and the love we once knew How I wish we could go back in time Do you ever think back on old memories like that Or do I ever cross your mind Do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night Because you miss me, do you darling Oh, and do your memories ever take You back into another place in time And do you ever miss the feelings And the love we shared when you were with me, tell me darling Or do I ever cross your mind Oh, how often I wish that again I could kiss Your sweet lips like I did long ago And how often I long for those two loving arms That once held me so gentle and close Repeat Chorus |

Oh they say some people long ago
Were searching for a different tune One that they could croon as only they can They heard the breeze in the trees Singing weird melodies And they made that the start of the blues And from a jail came the wail Of a down-hearted frail And they played that as part of the blues From a whippoorwill out on a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn till it was worn into a blue note And then they nursed it, rehearsed it and gave out the news That the Southland gave birth to the blues |

Every Saturday long about now
I feed my chickens and my milking cows Air's fillin' up with music ands ong Gonna have a party all night long Chorus: All night long, listen to the fiddle Music's goin' strong Heart's alive it's Saturday night Gonna have a party all night long I got a gal lives across the creek Every time I look at her my knees get weak First time I tried to take her on my knee She took after me with a singletree Chorus Sun's up high the Fourth of July Chickens won't lay and the cow's gone dry Creek's dried up, I can't go fishin' Should be workin' 'stead of sittin' here wishin' Big watermelon hangin' on the vine Said |

we've flown to the moon but have we missed the boat along the way?
we reached for the stars but are we that far removed from the cave? we've got radios and codaphones, computers we found satellites in space now everybody's talking so tell me why we can't communicate are we losing the human race? do we ever really learn from our mistakes? who's ahead, who's behind? will there be a finish line? are we losing the human race? nations are starving while we pay our farmers not to grow their grain fossil fuel is going up in smoke and coming down in acid rain the more that we progress it seems the farther we keep slipping down that drain its a no-win situation so tell me why we have to play the game are we losing the human race? do we ever really learn from our mistakes? who's ahead, who's behind? will there be a finish line? are we losing the human race? who's ahead, who's behind? will there be a finish line? are we losing the human race? |

Down through the ages men have died for women And done so for many times Each time I loved one, I ve always lost one Seems the right one is so hard to find. Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them One in each color, one in each style. I ll find a lady someday to wear them, My shopping will be done for awhile. I ll bet somewhere s a lady shopping for britches Comparing the value, appraising each pair. Maybe someday the Lord will bring us together And we ll both have a new wardrobe to wear Shopping for dresses with no one to wear them One in each color and one in each style. Maybe someday if I'm lucky I ll find someone to wear them And my shopping will be done for awhile. My shopping will be done for awhile. I m looking for a lady who ll look good in dresses She must be red-headed, green eyes and be fair. I ll make exceptions to all my requirements As long as she s willing to care. Chorus: I just saw a beauty with blue eyes, what a cutie Bond hair like a halo around her did flow, But the brunette beside her would be just as lovely In the dresses I bought long ago. Chorus: Now as I sit here dreaming, planning and scheming, Why should I make standards when everyone knows As your need ranges, women make changes And you must accept them or just let them go. Chorus: |

Not too many years ago
When dreams were coming true I'd reach for inspiration Sometimes it would be you I'd hear you on the radio I sure did like your sound Say it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around From the smoke it's hard to tell What's coming down the line We heard you were a fast train Coming out of Caroline We wondered what you were haulin' When you rolled into to town Say it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around You must have felt that same old feeling More than once or twice Guitars pressed against our hearts Under the neon lights I've got to say that feeling is the best that I have found Lord it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around There's a lot of truth you know In our kind of songs About the life you're living And how love's done you wrong As long as there's a jukebox And a honky tonk in town It's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around It's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around |

First we were strangers both down on our luck
And both in need of a friend We promised each other To much to live up to And now we're strangers again Tammy: I came like a stranger And you took me in And I felt at home in your arms We had nothing but good times As long as the sun shines But we just couldn't weather the storms Randy: You came like a stranger And I took you in And you gave me some reasons To live I gave the good the good times And you gave the sunshine Till we ran out of good things to give Now we are strangers back down on our luck And both in need of a friend We promised each other To much to live up to And now we're strangers again Strangers again???? |

I was ten years old on my grandpa's farm when it happened
After all these years i can still hear grandpa laughin' As he applied that barnyard remedy He passed his wisdom down to me You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive I remember my first crush was on the preacher's daughter We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night when he caught her We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten When the good Lord taught me that lesson again You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber And you don't drink no you don't drink when you drive It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive She rolled into town with rodeo,she was a beauty And that cowboy saw you wink at her,she was a cutie The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive Chorus. No,you don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive You're gonna get stung boy |

Somebody listen, I'm a voice in the distance cryin'
Come see about me I am a stranger in a world filled with anger Come see about me I'm gettin' weary tryin' to carry this load all by myself I'm bone tired and fallin', can't you hear me callin' I need somebody's help I am a young man growin' wild across this land Come see about me I'm fourscore and twenty and I ain't got anybody Come see about me I'm somebody's children alone and forsaken, a wave that's lost at sea I'm right here behind you, I'm all around you, so slow down Turn around and you will see I'm your mother, your sister and your brother Come see about me I am a baby, my mother ain't no lady Come see about me I am your maker, the giver and the taker Come see about me |

Happy trails to you
Until we meet again Happy trails to you Keep smiling until then Who cares about the clouds when we're together Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather Happy trails to you 'Til we meet again Who cares about the clouds when we're together Just sing a happy song and bring on the sunny weather Happy trails to you 'Til we meet again |
