She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart It's just matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly: two sparrows in a hurri-cane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams and faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will There's a baby crying and one more on the way There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills They can't pay The clouds are dark and the wind is high But they can see the other side go to She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart It's just a matter of time They'll spread their wings and fly go to 2 2: Like two sparrows in a hurri-cane Trying to find their way With a head full of dreams and faith that can move anything They've heard it's all uphill But all they know is how they feel The world says they'll never make it, love says they will
Yeah he's the one - the one I told you about Yeah, it was serious, but it was long ago He just might walk over here And give me a kiss for old times But don't you worry dear Old times next to you, can never compare
I'll take today over yesterday, any day I'll take lying in your arms tonight Over and above any love I've known Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me I'll take today over yesterday, any day
I'd be lyin' if I tried to tell you now That I never loved him, and he doesn't ever cross my mind But that was yesterday, and baby, I don't wanna go back Here is where I'm gonna stay With you in each tomorrow of my life
I'll take today over yesterday, any day I'll take lying in your arms tonight Over and above any love I've known Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me I'll take today over yesterday, any day
There's a full moon up above tonight But I don't know if it will always shine And I can't say tomorrow it won't rain One thing that I know will never change
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive I'll give all my love to you
Through good and bad you stand right by my side Through all the ups and downs we face in life We'll grow old and silver haired someday Youth may pass but love will still remain
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive I'll give all my love to you
Time goes by it can make you feel alone The future's so uncertain But there's one thing you should know
As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive And day turns into night and there's stars up in the sky As long as there's a heartbeat keeping me alive And I'll give all my love to you, I'll give all my love to you
In a cozy little restaurant for lovers It seems so out of place for you and me We used to play around under the covers But now it's just a place to watch T.V.
Chorus: So love me like you used to when our love was brand new And darlin' when we're through you can love me again And hold me like you want to instead of like you have to Love me like you used to love me when you used to love me
Baby we could use a long vacation But the trouble here is bound to tag along We used to be each others inspiration When it only took my touch to turn you on
Chorus 1X
Well we used to sit and talk about forever But now we hardly ever talk at all We walked a lot of tight ropes together We always caught each other when we'd fall
There's a tree out in the back yard, That never has been broken by the wind. And the reason it's still standin' It was strong enough to bend.
For years we have stayed together, As lovers and as friends. What we have will last forever If we're strong enough to bend.
When you say somethin' that you can't take back, A big wind blows and you hear a crack. When you say "Hey, well, I might be wrong," You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone. (Sway with the wind till the storm is gone.)
Like a tree (Like a tree) Out in the back yard, That never has been broken by the wind. Our love (Our love) Will last forever, If we're strong enough to bend.
When you start thinkin' that you know it all, A big wind blows and a branch will fall. When you say "Hey, this job takes two," We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue. (Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.)
Like the tree (Like the tree) Out in the back yard, That never has been broken by the wind. Our love (Our love) will last forever, If we're strong enough to bend. Our love (Our love) will last forever, If we're strong enough to bend.
Right about now you'd be saying sweet nothings, and I'd be hanging on your every word. My lips would be wet with your kisses, and we'd be lost in our own little world. Right about now I'd be feeling your heart beat and your fingers touching my skin. Oh, what I wouldn't give to be back in your arms somehow. Oh, Right about now. Right about now you'd promise forever, and swear I hadn't felt nothing yet. Then you'd pull me a little bit closer and I'd play just hard enough to get. Right about now we'd be under the covers making love that knew no shame. Oh what I wouldn't do to be with you somehow,oh right about now. Now the clock on the wall keeps ticking, oh but time's sure been passing slow. And it's myself that I've been kicking for ever letting you go. But darling you know where to find me should you have a change of heart. I sure could use a little of you no doubt, right about now. I sure could use you baby right about now. Since you've been gone there's nothing, right about now. I sure do need your touching right about now. Right about now.
When I was a child down in South Carolin' Soon as the Saturday sun went on down. My folks and sister would go, And leave me home all alone, Goin' to that big square dance in town.
Well my old radio would play that old Opry show So I never got lonesome or blue I'd fall asleep in my chair and dream that I was right there Just a'singin' the whole night thru.
When my folks would come home They'd be hummin' a song, Mama'd smile and say child don'tcha know There ain't a thing in this world To make you fall in love girl. Like the San Antonio Stroll.
Well the day finally come When my momma said hun It's 'bout time you came with us as well Well I had me a time, Yes, I danced all night 'Till they rang that old crack midnight bell
Then the lights went down low The fiddler picked up his bow And he played something stately and slow And my sister Eileen and her husband to be They held hands and began to stroll.
I've been away for awhile, But it still brings a smile When I think of the way that it goes Now I'll sing it to you Just so we both can do That old San Antonio Stroll
Yes, I'll sing it to you Just so we all can do That old San Antonio Stroll.
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on, Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today, To take you to his mansion in the sky? She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby". All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy, 'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand, Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn. Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on. Then a man of low degree stood by her side, Promised her he'd take her for his bride.
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on, Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today, To take you to his mansion in the sky? (X4)
Don't believe my heart can stand another you I need someone who'll be gentle, kind and true. So go your way I've had enough The game you play is just to rough. I don't believe my heart can stand another you.
Of all the people in the world to be standing at my door Telling me she left me, you know the one I left you for I sat down and thought it over now I've come to this conclusion Don't believe my heart can stand another you
I've tried every way I know to put you out of myself I've been as far down as my knees But so far it has been no help And with you already here what I must say get complicated I don't believe my heart can stand another you.
Don't believe my heart can stand another you I need someone who'll be gentle, kind and true. So go your way I've had enough The game you play is just to rough. I don't believe my heart can stand another you.
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be If he ever left me A case of gone was all he carried As he got on the Jamestown Ferry He said that gone was all he'd ever be
I didn't think that he'd leave me After saying how much he needs me But the fact still remains I'm sittin' here all alone Missin' the lovin' of my baby Lord it's about to drive me crazy He was the sweetest peice of heaven I've ever known
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be If he ever left me A case of gone was all he carried As he got on the Jamestown Ferry He said that gone was all he'd ever be
As I walk through his kingdom Of honkey-tonks and bars I remember how he'd hold me And comfort me with talk He didn't cuss with every breath He had a soothing southern drawl Made me feel like a lady through it all
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be If he ever left me A case of gone was all he carried As he got on the Jamestown Ferry He said that gone was all he'd ever be He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January Like he said it'd be If he ever left me
I've been watchin' you crying. When ya do I just feel like dying, I could give ya somethin' that would ease your mind. Let me give it to ya, Just a little bit will do ya, It's something you've been needing for a long long time.
Here's some love, Take a little bit of it home with you. Keep it close to you, And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay. Here's some love, Take a little bit of it home with you. It will grow with you, And some day you can bring it back to stay.
Don't ya keep me waiting, no What's the use in hesitating. You know as well as well as me it's what you're looking for. Put your lips on mine, now now now. You could make it feel so fine now. You never have to be without it anymore.
Here's some love, Take a little bit of it home with you. Keep it close to you, And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay. Here's some love, Take a little bit of it home with you. It will grow with you, And some day you can bring it back to stay.
(fade out) Here's some love, Take a little bit of it home with you. Keep it close to you, And save it for a rainy day-ay-ay-ay. Here's some love, Take a little bit of it home with you. It will grow with you, And some day you can bring it back to stay.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down. That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
Daddy said: "Now come girl, we're headin' down the road to Augusta." An thinkin' through his clenched teeth, he called Mama's name, then he cussed her. He said: "Girl, you're young, but some dude has come along and stole your mother." Ah, but you can't steal a willin' mind whose mom is always lookin' for a lover.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down. That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
With dusty teardrops in his face, my daddy cried an' big steps he was takin'. An' halfway runnin' to keep up, my shorter legs were so tired and shakin'. "Where did I go wrong, girl? Why would she leave us both this way?" At times like these, a child with tears never knows exactly what to say
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down. That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
We searched in every bar room, an' honky-tonk as well. An' finally Daddy found them, but Lord, you know, the rest is hard to tell. He sent me out to wait, but scared, I looked back through the door. An' Daddy left them both soakin' up the sawdust on the floor.
That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down. That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down. That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down. That Georgia sun was blood red and goin' down.
If you've got a road map of Texas, You can see that it's a wide open state. From Amarillo down to Boulder, You can bet that it's a honky-tonky place.
They might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas, Or disco down on Galveston Bay. But when God made them West Texas cowboys, He gave them the Pecos Promenade.
Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe, Buckin' winged, and heel and toe, Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade. Big sign hangin' by the door, Sawdust on an old dance floor. Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade.
When the sun starts goin' down on the prairie, And the starlight, falls on the state. That's when this cowgirl needs me a cowboy, To do the Pecos Promenade.
Tonight's the first I saw him, We can hear those twin fiddles play. Well Houston starts to feel like Lonestar heaven, As we dance the Pecos Promenade.
Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe, Buckin' winged, and heel and toe, Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade. Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade
That's when this cowgirl needs a cowboy, To do the Pecos Promenade.
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis Asking bout a rose that used to blossom in his world People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
'Til one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name Does she ever talk about a place called New Orleans Has she ever mentioned a man named Buford Wilson
What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name Twenty some odd years ago a drunkard down in Memphis Lost a month of life and labored to the country jail Just because he asked a little green eyed girl a question
And offered her a nickel's worth of candy if she'd tell A year and some odd days ago an old man died in Memphis Just another wayward soul the county had to claim Inside the old man's ragged coat they found a faded letter
That said you have a daughter and her eyes are Wilson green What's your mama's name child... What's your mama's name child what's your mama's name
