Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River. Life is old there, Older than the trees, Younger than the mountains browin' like a breeze. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. All my memories gather round her, Miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, Misty taste of moonshine, Teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. I hear her voice, in the morning how she calls me, Radio reminds me of my home far away And drivin'down the road I get a feelin' I should been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. Take me home, country roads. |

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely. Sunshine almost always make me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you a day just like today. If I had a song that I could sing for you. I'd sing a song to make you feel this way. If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile. If I had a wish that I could wish for you. I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while. Sunshine almost all the time makes me high. Sunshine almost always. |

You fill up my senses Like a night in a forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again You fill up my senses Like a night in a forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again |

There’s a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin’ in The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders There’s a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away The whinin’ of his wheels just makes it colder He’s an hour away from ridin’ on your prayers up in the sky And ten days on the road are barely gone There’s a fire softly burnin’, supper’s on the stove But it’s the light in your eyes that makes him warm Hey it’s good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again There’s all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time What’s the latest thing the neighbors say And your mother called last Friday, “Sunshine” made her cry You felt the baby move just yesterday Hey it’s good to be back home again - yes it is Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again Oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down Feel your fingers feather soft upon me The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way The happiness that that livin’ with you brings me It’s the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you It’s the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burnin’ supper on the stove The light in your eyes that makes me warm Hey it’s good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Yes ’n’ hey, it’s good to be back home again Hey it’s good to be back home again - you know it is Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend Hey, it’s good to be back home again I said hey it’s good to be back home again |

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway Travelled by many remembered by few Lookin' for something that I can believe in Lookin' for something that I'd like to do with my life There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me To somethin' that might have been true yesterday Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more Than enough to just be there today And I don't know what the future is holdin' in store I don't know where I'm goin' I'm not sure where I've been There's a spirit that guides me a light that shines for me My life is worth the livin' I don't need to see the end Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Lost and alone on some forgotten highway Travelled by many remembered by few Lookin' for something that I can believe in Lookin' for something that I'd like to do with my life There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me To somethin' that might have been true yesterday Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more Than enough to just be here today And I don't know what the future is holdin' in store I don't know where I'm goin' I'm not sure where I've been There's a spirit that guides me a light that shines for me My life is worth the livin' I don't need to see the end Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care Like a fish in the water Like a bird in the air Sweet sweet surrender Live live without care |

Well life's on a farm is kinda laid back Ain't much an old country boy like me can hack It's early to rise early in the sack Thank God I'm a country boy A simple kind of life never did me no harm Raisin' me a family and workin' on a farm My days are all filled with an easy country charm Thank God I'm a country boy Well I got me a fine wife I got me old fiddle When the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle And life ain't nothin' but a funny funny riddle Thank God I'm a country boy When the work's all done and the sun is settin' low I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow But the kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low Thank God I'm a country boy I'd play Sally Goodin all day if I could But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should Thank God I'm a country boy Well I got me a fine wife... Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels I never was one of them money hungry fools I'd rather have my fiddle and my farmin' tools Thank God I'm a country boy Yeah city folks drivin' in a black limousine A lotta sad people think that's mighty keen Well folks let me tell you exactly what I mean Thank God I'm a country boy Well I got me a fine wife... Well my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side He said live a good life play my fiddle with pride And thank God you're a country boy Well my daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle He taught me how to love and how to give just a little And thank God I'm a country boy Well I got me a fine wife... |

It's cold here in the city It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday Thinking about the good times Thinking about the rain Thinking about how bad it feels alone again I'm sorry for the way things are in China I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself Cause you are not here with me Our friends ask all about you I say you're doing fine And I expect to hear from you almost anytime But they all know I'm crying I can't sleep at night They all know I'm dying down deep inside I'm sorry for all the lies I told you I'm sorry for the things I didn't say But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself I can't believe you went away I'm sorry if I took some things for granted I'm sorry for the chains I put on you But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself For living without you |

All of her days have gone soft and cloudy All of her dreams have gone dry All of her nights have gone sad and shady She’s getting ready to fly Fly away, fly away, fly away Life in the city can make you crazy For sounds of the sand and the sea Life in a high-rise can make you hungry For things that you can’t even see Fly away, fly away, fly away In this whole world there’s nobody as lonely as she There’s nowhere to go and there’s nowhere that she’d rather be She’s looking for lovers and children playing She’s looking for signs of the |

On the road of experience I’m trying to find my own way Sometimes I wish that I could fly away When I think that I’m moving Suddenly things stand still I’m afraid ‘cause I think they always will And I’m looking for space And to find out who I am And I’m looking to know and understand It’s a sweet sweet dream Sometimes I’m almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle and Sometimes I’m deep in despair All alone in the universe Sometimes that’s how it seems I get lost in the sadness and the screams Then I look in the centre Suddenly everything’s clear I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams And I’m looking for space And to find out who I am And I’m looking to know and understand It’s a sweet sweet dream Sometimes I’m almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle and Sometimes I’m deep in despair On the road of experience Join in the living day If there’s an answer It’s just that it’s just that way When you’re looking for space And to find out who you are When you’re looking to try and reach the stars It’s a sweet sweet sweet dream Sometimes I’m almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle and Sometimes I’m deep in despair Sometimes I fly like an eagle Like an eagle, I go flying high, ooh |

Usually in the morning I’m filled with sweet belonging And Everything is beautiful to see Even when it’s raining The sound of heaven singing Is simply joyful music to me Sometimes I feel like a sad song Like I’m all alone without you So many different places A million smiling faces Life Is so incredible to me Especially to be near you And how it is to touch you Oh, paradise was made for you and me Sometimes I feel like a sad song Like I’m all alone without you I know that life goes on just perfectly Everything is just the way that it should be Still there are times when my heart feel like breaking And anywhere is where I’d rather be Oh, and in the nighttime I know that it's the right time To hold you close and tell you I love you so To have someone to share with And someone I can care with And that is why I wanted you to know Sometimes I feel like a sad song Like I'm all alone without you Without you. |

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Spirit album, and has also been released on the Country Classics album.
I've been out on this highway now Five days in a row My words all run together My feet are movin' slow I've got to stop and eat While it's still light There's a local angel sitting on my right Do you believe in love at first sight Baby, you look good to me tonight I'm ordinarily very shy And I'd be polite if I had time Baby, you look good to me tonight Tomorrow, I'll be good and gone Please don't make me wait that long Baby, you look good to me tonight “I get off at eleven,?? she said And walked away She poured a cup of coffee and She brought it on a tray She said, “It would be nice if you could stay You're the best idea I've had all day Usually I put up a fight but Baby, you look good to me tonight.?? Well I'm ordinarily very shy But I grinned at her as I ate my pie Baby, you look good to me tonight I thought I must be in a dream When she asked me if I wanted cream Baby, you look good to me tonight All in all you know It's not a bad life on the road If you've got wheels to roll And lucky stars above Your destiny's your own You go as far as you can go And if there's time to sleep There's time to make love I came, I saw, I conquered But I rode off in the sun But I know the look she left with me Keeps telling me she won Her face is the only thing I see Whispering those words of prophesy “I may come easy, but I don't come free You're never gonna see the last of me?? Baby, you look good to me tonight I was born to love you now can't you see Baby, you look good to me tonight I'm ordinarily very shy But I take the time to satisfy Baby, you look good to me tonight Words and music by Bill Danoff |

Di di di di di la la la la la la In a spaceship over the mountains Chasing rainbows in the setting sun Leaving heart and home for the city of angels I feel my life is undone There are pathways winding below me In pleasure I’ve gone where they go In the quiet stillness I can hear symphonies The loveliest music I know How can I leave you there, I must be clear out of my mind Lost in a storm I’ve gone blind Oh, how can I leave you there Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve listened Still longer since I’ve walked with you For the first time I know what I’m missing Some answers are no longer true So I question the course that I follow I’m doubtful and deep in despair My heart is filled with impossible notions Can it be you no longer care? Still, I ride on the wings of a high wind Blowing steady and strong behind me As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain I'm a sailor who runs to the sea How can I leave you again I must be clear out of my mind Lost in a storm I’ve gone blind Oh, how can I leave you there |

You know sometimes I can't sleep at night. I can't quiet my heart or my mind. I toss and I turn, I ache and I burn, I get caught in the passing of time. It's like too many miles, too many heartaches, too much that needs to be done. Yes, and too many sidewalks, too many people, too many hours alone. What's on your mind and what's on my mind is really quite the same. I've been working so hard and I'm ready to play, I know just the right game. What's on your mind is what's on my mind. That's the way it's gonna be. I'm gonna find me a place I can hide, I want you right next to me. Oh, I've never seen a more beautiful day, it's my favorite time of the year. The colors are changing, she's rearranging and I'm so glad to be here. I've been up and around, I've been lost, I've been found, I've seen love face to face in my dreams. And the things that I know and the things that I show are not always just what they seem. What's on your mind is what's on my mind, it's just that way. It's like catching a ride on a beautiful river, let it carry us all away. What's on your mind is what's on my mind is really nothing new. I want to get you alone, I want to make you my own, baby, I want to make love with you. What's on your mind is what's on my mind, is really quite the same. I've been working so hard and I'm ready to play baby, I know just the right game. What's on your mind is what's on my mind is really nothing new. I want to get you alone, I want to make you my own, baby, I want to make love with you. |

Here I am closing my eyes again Trying so hard not to see All the things that I see Almost willing to lie again I swear that it just isn’t so It just isn’t me We are never alone Even though we’d like to be The I go and open my eyes again Love in your eyes is the thing That I’d most like to see I’d be willing to die again To know of a place and a time Where it always could be To be always with you And you always with me This is my autograph Here in the songs I sing Here in my cry, in my laugh Here in the love that I bring To be always with you And you always with me Say a prayer and open your heart again You are the love and the life That we all need to see Always willing to shine and then Peace on this earth is the way That it always can be To be always with you And you always with me This is my autograph Here in the songs I sing Here in my cry, in my laugh Here in the love that I bring To be always with you And you always with me |

When you ask how I’ve been here without you I like to say I’ve been fine and I do But we both know the truth is hard to come by And if I told the truth, that’s not quite true Some days are diamonds, some days are stone Some time the hard times won’t leave me alone Some times the cold winds blow a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds, some days are stone Now the face that I see in my mirror More and more is a stranger to me More and more I can see there’s a danger In becoming what I never thought I’d be Some days are diamonds, some days are stone Some time the hard times won’t leave me alone Some times the cold winds blow a chill in my bones Some days are diamonds, some days are stone |

In the airport lounge she sat in a fancy feather hat The grandest lady I have ever seen Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes So I asked her if she'd like some company. In my rhinestone studded suit, my cowboy hat and boots I must have been a sight for her to see But she said "pull up a chair" as she fumbled with her hair A more unlikely pair you'll never see. I was Mogan David wine, she was Chablis fifty-nine But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady She was evenings at the opera and summers in Paree I was Grand Ole Opry, Nashville Tennessee. The cowboy and the lady, as different as could be But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee. Then somewhere in between her Harvey's Bristol Creme And the beer I drank, and the easy company We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather Now there's a little bit of class in this ole cowboy There's a little bit of cowboy in the lady The cowboy and the lady, as different as could be But it seemed so right that rainy night in Tennessee. We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather Now there's a little bit of class in this ole cowboy There's a little bit of cowboy in the lady. |

He was born in the bitterroot valley in the early morning rain Wild geese over the water headin’ north and home again Bringin’ a warm wind from the south Bringin’ the first taste of the spring His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing Oh montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry He never knew his father and he never did ask why He never knew the answers that would make an easy way But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way His mother’s brother took him in to family and his home Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand Oh montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own He was 30 years and runnin’ when he found his way back home Ridin’ a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john There was somethin’ in the city that he said he couldn’t breathe And there was somethin’ in the country that he said he couldn’t leave Oh montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies Now some say he was crazy and they’re glad that he is gone But some of us miss him and we’ll try to carry on Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on Oh montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies Oh montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies |
