2.Tennessee River

Lyrics:Randy Owen
Music:Randy Owen

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.

Chorus:
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 family, Lord settle down where peace and love can
still be
found.

Chorus

Oh, Tennessee River.

Chorus

Oh, Tennessee River.


3.Take Me Down

Lyrics:J.P.Pennington/Mark Gray
Music:J.P.Pennington/Mark Gray

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.

Chorus:
Take me down where I wanna be.
Turn around, the 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 the 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 the flame inside free.

Chorus

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, the 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. Take me down tonight. Take me down
tonight.


4.Love in the First Degree

Lyrics:Jim Hurt/Tim Dubois
Music:Jim Hurt/Tim Dubois

I once thopught of love as a prison a place I didn't want to be.
So long ago I made a decision to be footloose and fancy free.
But you cam I was so tempted to gamble on love just one time.
I never thought I would get caught.
It seemed liek the perfect crime.

Chorus:
Baby, you left me defneseless.
I've only got one plea.
Lock me away inside of your love and throw away the key.
I'm guilty of love in the first degree.

I thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before.
I'd take what I wanted and just walk away, but I never made it
to the door.
Now babe, I'm not beggin' for mercy.
Go ahead and throw the book at me.
If lovin' you's a crime, I know that I'm as guilty as a man can
be.

Chorus

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Chorus

Oh yeah. Love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.
Love in the first degree.


5.Red River

Written:Keith Darran Mcguire/George Pearce

I remember campin' all night down by the river's edge, skinny
dippin' in the
bright moonlight, divin' off a ledge, skippin' rocks across the
water,
fishin' on an old trout line, gigging frogs till the early
mornin', smokin'
dried crossvine.

Chorus:
Take me back down where the Red River rolls; send me back to
Lou' sianne.
Take me back down where the white water flows, to the Cajun
promised land.
Give me my line and my old pirogue. Get me back as fast as you
can.
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.

Floatin' down the river on a patched up inner tube, eatin'
dinner on the
ground, made of fresh caught catfish stew.
Lay wake at night when I hear a wildcat scream; tellin' takes
around the camp
fire light about the girls in our dreams.

Chorus


6.Dixieland Delight

Lyrics:Ronnie Rogers
Music:Ronnie Rogers

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


7.Lady Down on Love

Lyrics:Randy Owen
Music:Randy Owen

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 glady said O.K.
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday.

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


8.If You're Gonna Play In Texas(You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)

If you're gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot,
but not for 'Lousiana Man'.
So rosin up that bow for 'Faded Love'
and let's all dance.
If you're gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.

I remember down in Houston
we were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled,
'Cotton-Eyed Joe'!
He said, 'We love what you're doin'.
Boys don't get us wrong,
There's just somethin' missin' in your song.

Chorus

So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight.
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case.
You say y'all all wanna two-step. You say ya wanna doe-si-doe.
Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.

Chorus
repeat and fade

10.There's No Way

Lyrics:Palas/Robinson/Jarrard
Music:Palas/Robinson/Jarrard

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight
I want you to understand this love that that I feel
Is so right and so real I realize how lucky I am
And to you ever wonder if my love is true
There is something that I want to make clear with you

There's no way I could make it without you
There's no way that I'd even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn't last a day, oh Baby, there's no way

It means so much to me whenever I see that 'wanting me' look in
your eyes
I don't know how I could do without holding you close every
night
I've waited so long just to have you to hold
Now that I've got you, I'll never let go

There's no way I could make it without you
There's no way that I 'd even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn't last a day, oh Baby, there's no way

I never knew what to do, what I was missin'
Now you say forever, I find my heart is listenin', yes, I'm
listenin'

There's no way I could make it without you
There's no way that I 'd even try
If I had to survive without you in my life
I know I wouldn't last a day, oh Baby, there's no way


11.When We Make Love

There's a light, in your eyes tonight.
You know I know that look anywhere.
You got plans, and I'm one lucky man.
Before we get so carried away,
Theres just something I've been wanting to say.

When we make love
Its more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh its such a precious time
We share our hearts, our souls and our minds...
When we make love

Watching you, make your little moves
Well I can tell its gonna be a long night
All day long, we keep holding on
It couldn't be any better than this
I got it all in my fingertips

When we make love
Oh, its more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much I care.
When we make love
Oh, its such a precious time
We share our hearts our souls and our minds...

These moments..these feelings..mmmmmm

When we make love
Its more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much I care
When we make love
Oh, its such a precious time.
We share our hearts our souls and our minds...

Now lets make love, sweet love


12.Gonna Have a Party

Written:Bruce Channel/Kieran Kane/Cliff Cochran

Chorus:
Gonna have a party, a rockin' little jamboree.
Gonna have a party. Come on along with me.
Gonna have a good time, ev'rybody's feelin' right.
Gonna have a party a week from Saturday night.

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

Chorus

Now we're gonna play some music, and we can sing along.
And I'll bet before the night is through, we'll play your
favorite song.
And when they play the slow dance and I'm holding you so tight,
that's when the party's startin', babe, and it might last all
night.

Chorus


13.Can't You See


14.My Home's In Alabama

Lyrics:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry
Music:Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry

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 and then 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 the 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

Well 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

Chorus
