Alabama - Livin Lovin Rockin Rollin [compilation] (2006) by Alabama (보컬) on maniadb.com

Drinkin' was forbidden
In my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop
On them good ol' Gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms
Just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin'
Playin' guitar late at night.

Had to learn about the ladies;
Too young to understand
Why the young girls fall in love
With the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music,
The girls just turn away
To some other guitar picker
In some other late night place.

Yeah, I held on to my music;
I let the ladies walk away
Took my songs and dreams to Nashville
Then I moved on to L.A.
Up to New York City,
All across the USA
I lost so much of me
But there's enough of me to say, that my..

Chorus:
Home's in Alabama,
No matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama,
Southern born and Southern bred.

What keeps me goin'
I don't really know
Can't be the money
Lord knows I'm always broke
Could it be the satisfaction
Of bein' understood
When the people really love ya
And let you know when it's good

Oh I'll speak my Southern English
Just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie,
Dixie's in the heart of me
And someday when I make it,
When love finds a way
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain
I'll just smile with pride and say, that my

Home's in Alabama,
No matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama,
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred

And my home's in Alabama,
No matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama,
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred...

There are people in this country who work hard every day.
Not for fame or fortune do they strive.
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay.
And it's time a few of them were recognized.

Hello Detroit auto workers, let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line.
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers, let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line.

This is for the one who swings the hammer, driving home the nail.
Or the one behind the counter, ringing up the sale.
Or the one who fights the fires, the one who brings the mail.
For everyone who works behind the scenes.

You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields.
In the city streets and the quiet country towns.
Working together like spokes inside a wheel.
They keep this country turning around.

Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line.
Hello West Virginia coal miner, let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line.

This one is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the road.
Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load.
Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol.
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine.

Hello America - let me thank you for your time!

We didn't know that times were lean
Round our house the grass was green
It didn't seem like things were all that bad
I bet we walked a thousand miles
Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows
And learnin' how to give it all we had.

As life went on and years went by
I saw the light in daddy's eyes
And felt - the love in mama's hands
They kept us warm and kept us fed
Taught us how to look ahead
Now lookin' back, I understand.

Chorus:
We Were Walkin' in High Cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away
We Were Walkin' in High Cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

When Sunday mornings rolled around
We dressed up in hand-me downs
Just in time, to gather with the church
Sometimes I think how long it's been
And how it impressed me then
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.

Chorus X2

We Were Walkin' In High Cotton.

(Words and Music by Randy Owen)

Spoken:
"You see that mountain over there? Yeah?
Well, one of these days I'm gonna climb that mountain".

Chorus:
Oh, play me some mountain music,
Like grandma and grandpa used to play.
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway.

Drift away like Tom Sawyer, ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn.
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle, daze dreamin' again.

Chorus
Oh, play me some mountain music,
Like grandma and grandpa used to play.
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway.

Swim across the river, just to prove that I'm a man.
Spend the day bein' lazy, just bein' nature's friend.
Climb a long tall hick'ry. Bend it over, skinnin' cats.
Playin' baseball with chert rocks, usin' sawmill slabs for bats.

Bridge:
Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart.
Play something with lots of feelin',
'Cause that's where music has to start.

Oh, play me some mountain music,
Like grandma and grandpa used to play.
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway, hey hey.

Oh play me mountain music.
Oh play me mountain music.
Oh play me mountain music.
Oh play me mountain music.

Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway, one arm on the wheel, holdin' my
lover with the other: a sweet, soft, Southern thrill.
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle on a Tennessee Saturday night.
Couldn't feel better: I'm together with my Dixieland Delight.

Chorus:
Spend my dollar; parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight; hold her
uptight; make a little lovin', a little turtle dovin' on a Mason Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh, so right: My Dixieland Delight.

Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover, redtail hawk settin' on a limb, a
chubby old groundhog, croakin' bullfrog, free as the feelin' in the wind.
Home grown country girl gonna give me a whirl on a Tennessee Saturday night.
Lucky as a seven livin' in heaven with my Dixieland Delight.

Chorus

Repeat first verse

Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
There's the Alabama dreamer
That same man from Tennessee

Sometime late that night the lonely wakes her gently
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again

Carolina dreamin' lonely
Carolina can't you see
You will always be the lady
That I dream of holding tight
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Carolina mountain dewe

Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
Of the only man to lay her down

Carolina dreaming lonely
Carolina can't you see
You will always be the lady
That I dream of holding tight
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Carolina mountain dewe

Carolina I love you...

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)

It's Monday morning, he's kissin' momma goodbye
He's up and gone with the sun
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And he's off on a midwest run
As three sad faces gather round momma
They ask her when daddy's comin' home
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And they sure miss him when he's gone (yeah they do)
Ah, but he calls them everynight and he tells them that he loves them
And he taught them this song to sing

(chorus)
Roll on highway, Roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, Roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)

It's Wednesday evening, momma's waitin by the phone
It rings but it's not his voice
Seems the highway patrol has found a jacknifed rig
In a snow bank in Illinois
But the driver was missin' and the search had been abandoned

For the weather had everything strong
And they had checked all the houses and local motels
When they had somemore news they'd call
And she told them when they found him to tell him that she loved him
And she hung up the phone singin'

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on

Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long
Thinkin' nothing but the words just comin'
With the ringin' of the telephone
Oh, but the man upstairs was listening
When momma asked him to bring daddy home
And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end
Askin' her if she had been singin' the song, singin'

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)

eighteen-wheeler
eighteen-wheeler
eighteen-wheeler
eighteen-wheeler

Roll on
Roll on

chorus:

if you're gonna play in texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for a louisiana man
So rosen up that both faded love
And let's all dance
If you're gonna play in texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band

way down in alabama
We were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up
And yelled ha ha joe
Said we love what you're doing
But boys don't get us wrong
There's just something missing in your song



chorus

so he dusted off our boots
And put our cowboy hats on straight
Then texans raised the roof
When jeff opened up his case
Say ya all want to two-step
Say you wanna do-ce-do
Here's a fiddling song before jeff goes

By now in New York City.
There's snow on the ground.
And out in California.
The sunshines' falling down.
And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights.
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight.

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines.
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight.

Its windy in Chicago.
The kids are out of school.
There's magic in Motown.
The city's on the move.
In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline.
And all across the Nation, it's a peaceful Christmas time.

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines.
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight.
And from Fort Payne, Alabama.

(spoken)
God bless you all, We love ya,
Happy New Year, Good night, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas tonight...

Military mail call....
Wilsom.... Gail... Farrow... Miller... McCan...
Decarlo... Michaels... Harold... Nelson...

I lay out some paper, I take out my pen
Turn on my table-lamp and here I go again
It's time to write a letter, I'm in the mood tonight
Gotta find a way to tell you how I feel inside

So I write a little and I cry a little
It's so hard to find a way to say goodbye a little
But somewhere in the middle, my emotions interfere
So I write a little and cry a little tear
And I die a little wishing you were here

God I miss you, can't be with you
I would kiss you oh, so good
'Cause you're my only cure for lonely
I'd call if I could

So I write a little and I cry a little
It's so hard to find a way to say goodbye a little
Somewhere in the middle, my emotions interfere
So I write a little and cry a little tear
And I die a little wishing you were here

Oh, I die a little wishing you were here

Wishing you were here
I'm writing and wishing you were here
I write a little and cry a little tear

I'm writing and wishing you were here...

Song, Song of the south
sweet potato pie, and I shut my mouth
gone, gone with the wind
there aint no body looking back again

cotton on roadside, cotton on the ditch
we all picked the cotton but we never got rich
daddy was a veteren, a southern democrat
they oughta get rich man to vote like that singing

song song of the south
sweet potato pie, and i shut my mouth
gone gone with the wind
there aint no body looking back again

well somebody told us wall street fell
but we were so poor that we couldnt tell
the cotton was short, and the weeds was' tall
But Mr. Roosevelt's a' gonna save us all

well momma got sick, and daddy got down
the county got the farm, and we moved to town
poppa got a job with the TVA
we bought a washing machine, and then a Chevrolet

singing: Song song of the south
sweet potatoe pie, and I shut my mouth
gone, gone with the wind
there aint nobody looking back again
repeat 6 times!

We live in the land of plenty
But many things aren't plenty anymore
Like the water from our sink
They say its not safe to drink
You gotta go and buy it at the store
Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
Look what's washing on the beach
And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas
We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

There's a place where I live called the Canyon
Where Daddy taught me to swim
And that water, it's so pure
And I'm gonna make sure
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him

Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty
When we look into the eyes of our kids
'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back
They'll have to pay for all we did

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

So let's leave some blue up above us (above us)
Let's leave some green on the ground (on the ground)
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

So let's leave some blue up above us (above us)
Let's leave some green on the ground (on the ground)
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

Leave it and pass it on down...

Album: For The Record

Just punched the clock and boy am I ready
Walkin' out the door a-headin' home
It's time to buckle up again
In my rolling hunk of tin
It's quittin' time the evenin' race is on

It's that five o'clock 500 and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale,
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500 every day

Oh, Bubba's runnin' right on my bumper
Pushin' me but there's no where to go
Lane changin' left and right
Blowin' horns and blinkin' lights
Oh, the fast lane has never been so slow

It's that five o'clock 500 and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale,
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
Well, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500 every day

Well, the caution is out we're at a stand-still
Heard there's construction up ahead
Won't be long so they say
Soon we'll all be on our way
Some trucker on the CB just said

It's that five o'clock 500 and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale,
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jared
Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500,
Five o'clock 500 every day
Every day, every day, every day...

It was July hot 'cross Georgia on my way to Myrtle Beach
I just got my diploma so I set out in search of me
The honeymoon was over, and Alabama was far away
From being little more than just a southern state.

I got a gig down at the Bowery
I played for tip and watered drinks
Just a novice in a business
That's seldom what it seems.

And where are you goin' Tar Top
Where's J. C. And The Chosen Few
I saw the Flash without T. Gentry
And B. V. left for Malibu.

I was July hot and thirty, some years down the line
When the Boys touched the nation, unaware at the time
I got to go to Texas, California, New York too
A farm boy who is thankful to be standin' in his shoes.

But in the Bowery hangs the mem'ries
Of dreams that still come true
Every time I see the spotlight
I'm one of the chosen few.

And where are you going Tar Top
Where's J. C. and the Chosen Few
There's no Flash without T. Gentry
And B. V. where are you?

Where are you goin' Tar Top
Which direction will you take
What's this contrabanded clamor
About the music that you make?

And where are you goin' Tar Top
Is it country enough
Is it contemporary glamour
No it's us, just us.

Uh huh...

Well the Magic Attic's where the music rolls..
And the Army-Navy's got ol' Jackie Soul.
Down on Peaches Corner there are Good Ol' Boys..
And Mother Fletchers makin' lots of noise.
They're Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Well the Tams are playin' at the Port-O-Call..
And the Drifters underneath the Boardwalk.
At the Spanish Galleon and Ol' Fat Jacks..
Jukebox playin' and the place is packed.
You bet they're Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
You know they're Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Got the top down and the traffic's slow..
Sun Fun Week and, we all go..
Where the girls are sunnin' and are lookin' good..
Well I never met 'em but I wish I could..
And we'd go Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
We'd go Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Well the Embers singin' up on Ocean Drive..
And the Castaways are gettin' loud tonight.
At the Electric Circus they all getin' down..
And the Carousel's spinnin' round and 'round.
You see them Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
I see 'em Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Well I'm hangin out down at Sloppy Joes..
They may doze but they never close.
And the Bama Boys at the Bowery..
They can't dance but they play for free.
But they like Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
They know Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
They wrote Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Whisper to me softly, breathe words upon my skin
No one's near and listening, so please don't say goodbye
Just hold me close and love me, press your lips to mine
Mmm feels so right. Feels so right.

Lying here beside you I hear the echoes of your sighs
Promise me you'll stay with me and keep me warm tonight
So hold me close and love me, give my heart a smile
Mmm feels so right. Feels so right.

Your body feels so gentle and my passion rises high
You're loving me so easy, you're wish is my command
Just hold me close and love me, tell me it won't end
Mmm feels so right. Feels so right.

Feels so right.

Ah, you feel so right baby...

I saw you starin' at each other
I saw your eyes begin to glow
And I could tell you once were lovers
But you ain't hidin' nothin' that I don't know.

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

You said it ended when he left you
You say your love for me is strong
But those old memories still upset you
Well, I might be a memory before too long.

'Cause there's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer...

It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteen
A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams
The ties that once bound her now are broke away
And she's like a baby, just learning how to play.

She never thought that love could ever end so soon
Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon
When he asked her to marry and she gladly said okay
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday.

Now, she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To a man who would love her and never let her down.

Well, I know a lady that's down on her love
'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touch
But work took me a way from home late at nights
And I wasn't there when she turned out the lights
Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust
And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust.

Now, she's a lady down on love
She needs somebody to gently pick her up
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound
To a man who would love her and never let her down
Now she's a lady down on love...

She said, I spent eight years in California
That's the reason why I talk the way I do
But I've heard how southern men respect the ladies
And I'd like to meet a gentleman like you.

Well, I spent most of my life in Alabama
That's the reason why I talk the way I do
And I've always had this thing for sun-tanned ladies
And I'd really like to spend some time with you.

And we walked on the beach till early morning
And we watched as the sun came up again
And somehow we both shared the feelin'
That we'd just made a very special friend.

Tomorrow I'll go back to Alabama
And you'll fly from Atlanta to L.A.
And I'll get back to takin' care of bus'ness,
And you'll go back to starrin' on the stage.

But we'll think of the beach come Monday morning
When both of us get back to push and shove
And somehow we will always remember
The night we shared a very special love.

I spent most of my life in Alabama
That's the reason why I talk the way I do
I know we shared a very special friendship
The night we made a very special love...

Sometimes the morning coffee's way too strong.
and Sometimes what she says she says all wrong.

Right or Wrong, she's there beside me,
Like only a friend would be!
And that's close enough to perfect for me.

now, She's been known to wear her pants too tight.
And drinkin' puts her out just like a light.
Heaven knows she's not an angel,
but she'd really like to be.
And that's close enough to perfect for me.

She kisses me each mornin'
And smiles a sleepy smile!
She don't have to say it.
I can see it in her eyes!

Don't you worry about my woman,
And what you think she aught to be!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

Sometimes she gets down and starts to cry!
But then again a lady has a right.

She's everything I ever wanted!
She's all I'll ever need!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

She kisses me each mornin',
And smiles a sleepy smile!
She don't have to say it.
I can see it in her eyes!

Don't you worry about my woman,
And what you think she aught to be!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

Whooooa...She's close enough to perfect...for me!

Fly away with me tonight
Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin' arms
And ev'rything's gonna be alright
You're the one who took my hand
When no one else could understand
You're the one who moves me
Like nobody else can.

Take me down where I wanna be
Turn around, this man who lives inside of me
Take me down and love me all night long
Hold me close and make me strong
Take me down, take me down tonight.

In your eyes I see a light
It's your emotions glowin' bright
So keep the fires burnin'
And let it warm me through the night.
You can be a part of me
'Cause you're what love was meant to be
You and me, baby
We'll set this flame inside free.

Take me down where I wanna be
Turn around, this man who lives inside of me
Take me down and love me all night long
Hold me close and make me strong
Take me down, take me down tonight.

You don't have to stay forever
Let's just put our hearts together
Share another night in ecstasy
We know that it's feelin' better
Ev'ry time we get together
Maybe love was meant for you and me
Whoa.

Take me down where I wanna be
Turn around, this man who lives inside of me
Take me down and love me all night long
Hold me close and make me strong
Take me down, take me down tonight.

Take me down tonight
Ooh oh, take me down tonight
Ooh oh, are you gonna take me, (take me)
Shake me, (shake me)
Take me down tonight.
um hum
Take me, take me...

Alabama & K. T. Oslin

Run your fingers through my hair and softly kiss my lips
Hold me close in your embrace and love me face to face.

Face to face, heart to heart, body to body
Tingling tangle feelings, lovers face to face.

I'll caress your body and hold you close to me
I'll slide my hands around your waist and love you face to face.

Face to face, heart to heart, body to body
Lips on lips, arm and arm, body to body
Tingling tangle feelings, lovers face to face.

Softly say you love me as you make love to me
No one else can take your place, we happen face to face...

Lyin' beside you watching you sleepin'
After you've loved me so tenderly
I'm searchin' for some way to tell you
How good it felt when I held you
There's so many ways you get to me.

'Cause you've got the touch
It turns me on and on
You light the fire in me
That keeps burning strong
The longer I'm with you
The deeper and deeper in love I fall
You've got the moves
You move me so much
You've got the touch.

As you wake up you pull me closer
And whisper good morning warm in my ear
Nobody could do that like you do
You make it so easy to love you
And I know I will for a million years.

'Cause you've got the touch
You turns me on and on
You light the fire in me
That keeps growing strong
The longer I'm with you
The deeper and deeper in love I fall
You've got the moves
That move me so much
You've got the touch.

Nobody can touch me like you do
You make it so ease to love you
And I know I will a million years.

'Cause you've got the touch
You turns me on and on
You light the fire in me
That keeps growing strong...
The longer I'm with you
The deeper and deeper in love I fall
You've got the moves
That move me so much
You've got the touch

You've got the moves
That move so much
You've got the touch

You know how to turn me on
In a special way all your own
No one has been where you've gone in so long
Oh baby, you turn me on

Your world fits right into mine
With perfection, time after time
And my world's where you must belong
'Cause baby, you turn me on

(Spoken)
Aww baby, you turn me on
It's aways so perfect with you every time
Aww yeah, I love you

(Sang)
You know, how to turn me on
In a special way all your own
No one has been where you've gone in so long
Oh baby, you turn me on
Oh baby, you turn me on

(Spoken)
Baby you know ever way to turn me on, and on, and on
So why don't you just turn me on
'Cause you know how to turn me on...

I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched.
The look in your eyes
Said you felt as much
But I'm not a man
Who falls so easily
It's best that you know
Where you stand with me

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

When there's age around my eyes
And gray in your hair
And it only takes a touch to recall
The love we've shared
I won't take for granted
That you know my love is true
Each night in your arms
I will whisper to you.

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

How do you fall in love
When do you say "I do"
When is the perfect time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
Sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know

You never know just where it will find you
'Cause it can come on you so fast
Or seems like it takes forever
When you want it so bad
But don't ever take it for granted
'Cause it's more than sowing some seeds
It takes sun and water
So give it what it needs

That's how you fall in love
That's when you say "I do"
That's when you know its time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
Sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know

(Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry/Greg Fowler)
Album: Dancin' on the Boulevard

You've got me achin'
More than I should
My heart is breakin'
Oh, don't it feel good
'Cause I know for certain
We're magic in love
You've got me hurtin'
'Cause I can't get enough

I just couldn't say no
Even though I should
Even if I did
Wonder if you could
I just couldn't say no, no
When your eyes say yes, yes
I just can't say no
I've tried my best

The way that you tease me
Makes me want you more
You purr like a kitten
But I hear you roar
Your body language
Is talkin' to me
Right here in the darkness
It's so plain to see

I just couldn't say no
Even though I should
Even if I did
Wonder if you could
I just couldn't say no, no
When your eyes say yes, yes
I just can't say no
I've tried my best

I just couldn't say no

I just couldn't say no, no
When your eyes say yes, yes
I just can't say no
I've tried my best

I just can't say no
I've tried my best

I just couldn't say no...

Too much love
Too much love

At times I make you crazy
At times I make you sad
Sometimes you make me feel like
There's no one quite as bad

But there's just too much love between us
There's just too mcuh love between us

We can work it out
Oh, I know we can
'Cause it's all left in our hands
If we give ourselves just a little time
It'll all work out just fine

'Cause there's just too much love between us
Yeah, there's just too much love between us

Silence can be deafenin'
When you don't make a sound
At times you make me wonder
Why you want me around

I guess there's too much love between us
There's just too much love between us

There are rocky roads
And it's touch and go
And there are times to be alone
But there's something deeper
That we can't explain
It's an everylastin' flame

Now there's just too much love between us
Now there's just too much love between us
There's just too much love between us
There's just too much love between us

Too much love between us
Too much love between us
Too much love
Too much love between us
Too much
Too much love
Too much love between us
Too much love between us
Yes there is
Too much love between us
Too much love
Too much love between us
Too much love between us

If I had you we'd run like gypsies in the wind
We'd be lovers, we'd be friends,
Oh, if I had you.

If I had you, we'd count the stars all one by one
We'd make love 'til they were gone
Oh, if I had you/

'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growin stronger there ain't no control
And there's nothing, no there's nothing, no there's nothing that I wouldn't do
If I had you.

If I had you, we'd sail the 7 seas as one
We'd never say "It can't be done"
No, if I had you.

'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growing stronger 'cause there aint no control
And theres nothing, no there's nothing, I know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
If I had you...

1st Chorus:
You can tell a lot about a man
By the woman he loves
'Cause nothing else shows a part of his soul
Like she does
And she'd be the one to swear that he hung
The moon above
Yeah you can tell a lot about a man
By the woman he loves

She knows him inside out
The things he dreams about
And makes them come true when she can
She know all of his faults
The demons he's fought
With nothin' but his hard-working' hands

And he calls out her name
In passion and pain
She makes him stronger each time
Yeah it's there on her lips
And her fingertips
That she's with him to 'till end of the line

2nd Chorus:
(Yeah) You can tell a lot about a man
By the woman he loves (yes you can)
'Cause nothing else shows a part of his soul
Like she does
And she'd be the one to swear the he hung
The moon above
Yeah you can tell a lot about a man
By the woman he loves

Repeat 1st chorus

Tag:
Yeah you can tell a lot about a man
By the woman he loves
He loves
He always loves

Alabama & N Sync
Lyrics by: Evan Rogers, Carl Sturken

Can this be true? Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words how I feel?
My life was complete, I thought I was whole.
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?

I never thought that love could feel like this.
Then you changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be, that right here with me,
there's an angel, it's a miracle.

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep.
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep.
When I look into your eyes I know that it's true,
God must have spent a little more time on you.

In all of creation, all things great and small,
You are the one that surpasses them all.
More precious than any diamond or pearl,
They broke the mold when you came in this world.

And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without.
The warmth of your smile, the heart of a child,
It's deep inside, and leaves me purified.

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep.
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep.
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true,
God must have spent a little more time on you.

I never thought that love could feel like this,
then you changed my world with just one kiss.
How can it be, that right here with me,
There's an angel, it's a miracle.

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep.
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep.
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true,
God must have spent a little more time on you.
God must have spent a little more time on you.

I was walking home from school, on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
But then a kind old man, took my hand, and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone, to come along, and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say, I understand
But ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road
That someone lights the way, with just a single ray of hope

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love
To guide us with a light of love

I was born across the river
In the mountains where I call home
Lord, times were good there
Don't know why I ever roamed, waoh-wha

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band

Me and my woman's done made our plans
On the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a famly, Lord, settle down
Where peace and love can still be found

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band
Oh, Tennessee River..

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band
Oh, Tennessee River..

Well it's time for my vacation
It's time for me to have some fun
Yes, it's time for my vacation
I wanna lay out in the sun in Florida

Cause I've been working every weekend
I've been working overtime
Now it's time for my vacation
Have nothing on my mind, that's right

Goin' swimmin' in the blue hole
And fishin' with an ol' cane pole

Cause I can't be like Walter Mitty
It must be real, it must be right
Cause it's dog eat dog to the pinnacle
And success is an uphill fight

I am fresh and clean every morning
And dead on my feet every night

Said it's time for my vacation
It's time for me to have some fun
Yes, it's time for my vacation
I wanna lay out in the sun all day long

We are back to basics
And count my blessings one by one

We're up for school by seven
Got exams all week long
It's been study study study
But come Friday gonna be gone
I'm gonna get out of here

R and R on Saturday and Sunday
And party, party on and on

Well I've been drivin' on the freeway
Traffic slipped and traffic slide
It's wall to wall insanity
Blowin' horns or showin' lights

Should I wind my watch in frustration
Or should I go flying high, no

Gonna take my vacation
Travel on beach to have some fun
Cause it's time for my vacation
I wanna lay out in the sun, all day long

Headed back for Mother Nature
And party, party all night long

She and I live in our own little world
Don't worry about the world outside

She and I agree
She and I lead a perfectly normal life
Ah but just because we aren't often seen socially
People think we've got something to hide.
But all our friends know we're just a little old fashioned
She and I

Oh ain't that great
Ain't it fine
To have a love someone that others can't find
Ain't it wonderful to know all we ever need is just the two of us
She and I
So wonderful
She and I

She and I share with every body else
The same wants, needs and desires
She and I save
She and I pay on everything we acquire

Ah but just because we aren't often seen separately
People think we live one life.

Its hard for them to see how anyone could be as close as
She and I

Sad Lookin' Moon: Alabama

I thought that you could fly
I thought that you had wings
I guess that I believed
You'd never say goodbye
But my world stopped turnin' 'round
The stars turned upside down
It knocked me to the ground on my knees

Now there's a sad lookin' moon
Shinin' down on me
There's a sad lookin' sky
As far as I can see
I always believed
And I thought the stars could see
But there's a sad lookin' moon
Shinin' down on me

I shared with you my dreams
I gave you everything
I opened up my heart
And I gave you my ring
Well I spent days and nights
Just thinkin' about the time
When you would be mine all my life

Now there's a sad lookin' moon
Shinin' down on me
There's a sad lookin' sky
As far as I can see
I always believed
And I thought the stars could see
But there's a sad lookin' moon
Shinin' down on me

There's a sad lookin' moon
A sad lookin' moon
There's a sad lookin' moon
Shinin' down on me

Give Me One More Shot: Alabama

Life ain't all that easy I can testify to that
It's been up and down and round and round to get to where I'm at
If you could see how I'm living in this old car I drive
Well you'd probably wonder and even ponder why I even wanna stay alive

Chorus:

So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray
Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance
Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

Well I could complain about taxes or the weather we're having today
Go on and on about things that are wrong from New York to L.A.
Well that's just not my nature to sit around feeling sad
We're only here for awhile so why not smile hey living ain't all that
bad

CHORUS

When I look around there's lots of folks worse off than me
So I just thank the good Lord and ask him please

CHORUS

Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day
Give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got give me one more day
Show me the way, and give me one more day
Give me one more shot

Thinking of the faces I've seen
Back when I was young and green
I was falling back then
Now I'm workin' on building a fire
And flirtin' with that old desire
And fallin' again into the wind
I fall in and again
I fall in love again
I'm fallin' again.

Well, you'd think that I would learn by now
To keep from falling somehow
But I'm fallin' again
'Cause when I caught that look in your eyes
That's when I realized
I was fallin' again into the wind
I fall in and again
I fall in love again.

Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again.

I fall in and again
I fall in love again
Fallin' again into the wind.

Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again
Fall, fall, fall, fallin' again.

I fall in and again
I fall in love again
Fallin' again into the wind...

Chorus:

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really got to do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

Don't know why
I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It's not new, but it'll do 0 to 60 in 5.2

chorus

Can't be late


That leaves me plenty of time
Shakin' hands with the clock
I can't stop, I'm on a roll and ready to rock

chorus

I hear a voice
It says I'm runnin' behind
I better pick up my pace
It's a race and there ain't no room
For someone in second place

break

chorus

He said goodbye to the angels of heaven
And He came to earth as a common man
He taught us how we could love one another
There was healing in His hands

There were those who believed and followed Him
And there were those who wanted Him dead
They thought the grave would silence Him forever
But they found out instead

You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet
and the put Him in the ground
Three days later everybody found out that you can't
No you can't keep a good man down

I hear you say that it all sounds crazy
It's a good story but it can't be true
How could a man who was dead and buried
Mean a thing to me and you

Here we are two thousand years later
and still the choice is just the same
You can say that you don't believe it
But it doesn't change a thing

repeat chorus

I can take you to the hill where they hung Him on a cross
I can take you to the empty tomb
I can tell you He's alive 'cause He lives in me
But the rest is up to you

repeat chorus

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody's feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

Well, Thought I'd call you early, make sure that you know
There's gonna be a party and I'd love for you to go
I just wanna give you'all time to get your story right
There's gonna be a party and it might last all night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

There's gonna be some music and you can sing along
I bet before the night is through they'll play our favorite song
When they play that slow dance and I'm holdin' you so tight
That's when the party's startin', baby, and it might last all night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree
Gonna have a party, come on along with me
Gonna have a good time, everybody feelin' right
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night...

It'll creep up on you like a kudzu vine
Even miles above the Mason-Dixon line
'Til one day you're craving hominy grits
And scanning the jukebox for George Jones hits
Drinkin' Jack Black tryin' to kick back
'Til the condo's looking like a shotgun shack
You'll be one of us no matter where you're at
When it all goes south

When it all goes south
(You'll be drivin' around on a John Deere tractor)
When it all goes south
(Wearing baseball caps but they won't be backwards)
Now it really don't matter what state you're in
One day the south's gonna rise again

There's a Wall Street wonderboy sittin' up north
Throwing darts like a monkey at a stock report
He's got two homes, car loans, in debt
And his third divorce ain't even final yet
Traded his MBA for a SUV
On a backwoods road down in Tennessee
'Cause man Manhattan ain't the place to be

When it all goes south
(With the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias)
When it all goes south
(Eatin' moon pies, drinking RC colas)
Now it really don't matter what state you're in
Someday the south's gonna rise again

Vicksburg, Birmingham, Natchez
And Savannah, Panama City
Y'all sure look pretty in the sunshine
Gettin' dixiefried
Get yourself some rebel pride

When it all goes south
(Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud)
When it all goes south
(You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood)
Now it really don't matter what state you're in
One day the south's gonna rise again
When it all goes south

When it all goes south
(Where the fog's as thick as Mississippi mud)
When it all goes south
(You'll be singing the blues 'cause it's in your blood)...

Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on the state road map
That's where I was born and where I'll die

Things move at a slower pace
Nobody's in a rat race
And these days that's a special way of life

(CHORUS)
Down Home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home
A mans good word and a hand shake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up down home

In the corner of the hardware store
Gathered round on a checkered board
Old men telling lies and crownin' kings

Kids drivin' round the old town square
Cops roll down int he cool night air
Go and see what's shakin' at the Dairy Queen

(CHORUS)
Down Home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home
A mans good word and a hand shake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up down home

When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
But now I wanna see my children raised

Down Home

Down Home

Folks know
If there fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up
Down Home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home
A mans good word and a handshake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up
Down Home

Down Home
Way down home
Down home
Down Home
Way down home

Clear creeks
Cool mountian mornins'
Honest work out in the field
Corn bread, In my mommas kitchen
Daddy sayin grace before the meal
Family ties run deep in this land
And im never very far from what i am

(chorus) i was born country
And thats what ill always be
like the rivers and the woodlands wild an free
i got a hundred years of down home runnin through my blood
i was born country
and this country is what i love

Moonlight and you here beside me
crickets seranadin in the yard
What more could two people ask for
layin here in love beneath the stars
now this is where i wanna raise my kids
just the way my mom and daddy did

(chorus)
(chorus)
I was born country.......fade out to end

The stage is set tonight down in Nashville
It's been a long, hard ride into town
And thanks to some cowboys and heroes
My chance to sing has finally come around

The first song I ever sang was Haggard's
Momma sang to me, "I Saw the Light"
And I'd turn my radio up louder
To hear Johnny Cash walk the line

Mmmm

Ol' Waylon sang the songs about Texas
Willie's blue eyes, cryin' in the rain
Bocephus sang the songs about Dixie
And Lefty taught us, all how to sing

Chorus

Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys
Riding somewhere tonight
Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys
Wanted, dead or alive

Well, Charlie ran the Devil out of Georgia
Skynyrd sang of sweet home Alabam'
The Allman Brothers taught us how to ramble
And the Tucker boys showed us how to jam

Chorus

Well, the stage is set tonight up in Heaven
And Reba's band is there with Patsy Cline
And all around there's cowboys and cowgirls
And thanks to them, the music's still alive

Chorus

Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys
Flyin' somewhere tonight
Hats off to hard flyin' cowboys
Wanted, dead or alive

Before we ever made the headlines
Or toured the concert halls
We survived our share of bar rooms
Stared at many motel walls.

The years in Carolina
And all the one night stands
What kept the fires a burnin'
Back then, was you the fans.

We two stepped out to Texas
Round and round the dance hall floors
Played the fair in Minnesota, mm
I wish we could've played one more.

We hope you remember
We're just the boys in the band
And what keeps the fires a burnin'
Is always, you the fans.

(la da da, da da, la da)

I wish this night could last forever
Ah, but the show must go on
And we'll take home the memories
And we'll leave you with our songs.

It's been good to see ya'll
Can we come back again? and again, and again
What keeps the fires a burnin'
In us, is you the fans.

As long as you remember, the boys in the band
We'll keep the fires a burnin'
For all of You
Our fans...
