Mountain Music

Alabama Mountain Music Lyrics
1.Mountain Music

Lyrics:Randy Owen
Music:Randy Owen

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

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.

Tag:
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music
Oh play me mountain music


2.Close Enough to Perfect

Sometimes her morning coffee's way too strong
And sometimes what she says she says all wrong
Heaven knows she's not an angel but she'd really like to be
And that's close enough to perfect for me

Now she's been known to wear her pants too tight
And drinking puts her out just like a light
Right or wrong she's there beside me like only a friend
would be
And that's close enough to perfect for me

Chorus:
She kisses me each morning
And smiles her sleepy smile
And she don't have to say it
I can see it in her eyes
Don't you worry about my woman
Or what you think she ought to be
'Cause she's close enough to perfect for me

Well sometimes she gets down and starts to cry
But then again a woman has a right
She's everything I ever wanted and all I'll ever need
She's close enough to perfect for me


3.Words at Twenty Paces

Lyrics:Hugh Moffatt
Music:Hugh Moffatt

Just like a western movie, a challenge has been made.
A shot was fired in anger, and pride stepped off the train.
Won't we ever stop this killin', me and you, till our hearts are
up on Boot Hill and there's nothing we can do?

Chorus:
Words at twenty paces, anger at high noon.
This house ain't big enough for both of us. It's comin' soon.
We'll finish off our happiness and run hope out of town.
With words at twenty paces, Lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.

Bridge:
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share, the gentle
touch, the words of love, the way we used to care?
Sometimes you words cut like a bullet in my side.
Oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride?

I've got my ammunition. I know you've got yours too.
We know each other's weakness; Lord, the damage we can do.
Why can't we just step aside and put our guns away?
Let love come like the cavalry: ride in and save the day?

Chorus


4.Changes Comin' On

Written:Jimmy Darreell/Buddy Cannon/Dean Dillion

Long hair was not in style the first time I heard Haggard on the
radio, but I could feel the changes comin' on.
The Beatles crossed the ocean, an overnight explosion on the
T.V.
My brother had to go to Vietnam.

Ford unveiled the Mustang.
Things were good in Detroit for the people there.
And I could feel changes comin' on.
From Atlanta Doctor King told the world he had a dream.
People followed him.
And Daddy said my hair was getting long.

I could feel changes comin' on.
People started singin' different songs, searchin' for the place
where they belong.
I could feel changes comin' on.

Well, I'm still hooked on Haggard.
But the Beatles can't come back like we hoped they would.
In Memphis, Tennessee, The King is gone.
As I put my kids to bed, I wonder what lies ahead for them to
see, 'cause I can feel the changes comin' on.

I could feel changes comin' on.
People stilll are singin' different songs.
They're searchin' for the place where they belong.
I can feel changes comin' on.

I can feel changes comin' on. I can feel changes comin' on.


5.Green River

Lyrics:John Fogerty
Music:John Fogerty

Take me back down where cool water flows, y'all.
Let me remember the things I've done:walk on the log where the
catfish bite;
walking along the river road at night; barefoot gir, dancin' in
the moonlight.

I can hear the bullfrog calling me. (ribbit)
Wond'rin' if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Ole Brody Juniour took me over; said you're gonna find a well
that's colder.
If I'm a bad boss, give some o'Green River.

Well...


6.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.


7.You Turn Me On

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

Chorus:
You know how t'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.

Oh, baby, you turn me on.
It's always so perfect with you every time.
Oh yeah, I love you.

Chorus

Oh, baby, you turn me on.

Baby, you know every 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.


8.Never Be One

Lyrics:Teddy Gentry
Music:Teddy Gentry

Drift off and dream in your paper-doll world.
Play with the presents from the boys and the girls.
You big day is over. The cake is all gone.
We sang you to sleep with the birthday song.

Chorus:
No. you'll never be one again.
The two's are tumbling on in.
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world.
You'll never be one again.

The toy piano is quiet in the hall as Kermie the frog sits
watching it all.
And soon your legs will and make the tricycle go and take you
away from us all.

Chorus

Goodnight, Baby. Goodnight, Daddy.


9.Lovin' You is Killin' Me

Lyrics:Jeff Cook
Music:Jeff Cook

You go out on the town, feelin' alright.
Leavin' me here alone, you're stayin' all night.
You're good to me; do something sweet.
Tonight, you're back out on the street.
Lovin' you the way I do is killin' me.

I don't blame you for havin' fun, as long as I'm your only one.

So go on out, have a time, have a good time.
Don't forget if he asks, you're still mine.
You're tellin' me the same old lies, and I don't need your
alibis.
Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me.

Lovin' you, the way I do, is killin' me


10.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
