1.The Resurrection
Lyricist:Matraca Berg, Alice Randall
I walked the streets of this little town
Late last night when it all shut down
Feelin' stuck between lost and found and nowhere
Using my memory for a map
I went lookin' for a train on the torn up track
Where the weary conductor just turned his back
But he's still there
Waitin' for the resurrection
Fire from the ashes and the tears, the resurrection
You know dreams die hard
Dreams die hard around here
Well, it's hard to believe I'm back again
Lookin' up old lovers and long lost friends
Just to reminisce like the veterans and survivors
I heard Reverend Bill with the kind old face
Said he got a little stale and he's been replaced
Still we all bowed our heads when he said
Grace at the diner
Waitin' for the resurrection
Fire from the ashes and the tears, the resurrection
You know dreams die hard
Dreams die hard around here
Well, the engine dies and the main line fails
Surely the heart and the soul prevails
Like the wild flowers grow between the rails in the summer
Oh, the resurrection
Fire from the ashes and the tears, the resurrection
You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard
Dreams die hard around here, 'round here
Dreams die hard around here
Oh, the resurrection
Oh, the resurrection
I walked the streets of this little town
Late last night when it all shut down
When it all shut down
2.Rave On
Lyricist:Norman Petty, Bill Tilghman, Sonny West
The little things that you say and do
Make me want to be with you
You rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
I know, she's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on
The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss when we say goodnight
Rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I, I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on
Rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I, I know its got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealing your love for me
Rave on, rave on, tell me, tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only, rave on to me
Oh, oh, rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I, I know its got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealin' your love for me
Oh, rave on, rave on, tell me, tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only, rave on to me
The little things that you say and do
Make me want to be with you
Rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I know, she's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on
Oh, rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I, I know its got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealin' your love for me
Rave on, rave on, tell me, tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only, rave on to me
Rave on to me, rave on to me
3.Joe Knows How to Live
Lyricist:Max Duane Barnes, Graham Hamilton Lyle, Troy Harold Seals
Blue Monday morning at the factory gate
Almost time to clock in
The boys were bettin' that Joe wouldn't show
'Cause they had seen him over the weekend
He had four new tire on his old Cadillac
Betty the waitress and some clothes in the back
A dashboard full of road maps of Mexico
Yeah, Joe knows how to live
He said, 'Women were made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy, you will never live again'
Yeah, you've got to admit it
Joe's knows how to live
And now they'll be down at the ocean
He and Betty stretched out somewhere
The only blue in his life is the blue moonlight
Bouncin' off Betty's blonde hair
I can just see 'em rollin' 'round on the sand
I never thought I was a jealous man
But when I think what he's doin' that I'm not, hah
Lord, I'm jealous about it
He said, 'Women were made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy, you will never live again'
Yeah, you've got to admit it
Joe's knows how to live
Let's go to Mexico
Now Betty's back home with her mother
Joe's back on the assembly line
But he brings in his pictures and his Mexican hat
Just to remind us sometime
That women were made to love, money is made to spend
Life is something, buddy, you will never live again
Yeah, you've got to admit it
Joe's knows how to live
Yeah, you've got to admit it
Joe's knows how to live
That boy's a genius
He sure is crazy
Ooo la la la la la la
4.Silver Bells
Lyricist:Raymond B Evans, Jay Livingston
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling
Of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blink of bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you'll hear
Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day
5.Forever Don't Last
Lyricist:Jimmy Ibbotson, John Mc Euen
Here we go
Same these days, I think about her
Dream up ways to live with out her
We made vows that I can not excuse
Yes, forever don't last the way it used too
We filled the church and hired a preacher
I raised her veil to reach her
Lives on the promise of her youth
But forever don't last the way it used too
Eternity can not be messed with the law says
You might confess to enough coals, hotter hell you fool
Then you swear an oath and then take it back, anytime you choose
That forever don't last the way it used too
Hammers, razors fill the trash
You throw 'em out when you use the last
Get a new form son, don't become Confu Sed
If forever don't last the way it used to
Forever don't last, forever don't last
Forever don't last, forever don't last the way it used too
Forever don't last, forever don't last
Forever don't last, forever don't last
Take a break
6.It's Morning
Lyricist:James Ibbotson
One parrot in a cage
At the home of a friend
Is reason to wonder and stare
Green wings and red face
And a sapphire belly
A racket so loud
As to out shout the tele
But this morning, my prayer
By the side of the sea
Took odds to turn back
To the moon in the trees
Where a green cloud of birds
In a flock of a thou'
Yelled from one to another
It's morning out loud
'It's morning, it's morning
It's morning', they cried
From the edge of the treetops
To the edge of the skies
'It's morning, it's morning
It's morning', they cried
So open your heart
When you open your eyes
And the sound of their voices
Together did blend
Forming chords of awakening
If I'm not here again
For they shouted
Never again would they fly
In such numbers across
Such a primitive sky
And they noticed my heart
As it sank to the sand
Do not hurry they called
It's all part of a plan
7.Get Back
Lyricist:John Lennon, Paul Mccartney
Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Ooh, get back Jo
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Yeah, get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
You once belonged
Ooh, get back Jo
8.Fishin' in the Dark
Lyricist:Jim Photoglo, Wendy Waldman
Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight
Shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs
Are floatin' on the breeze baby get ready
Across the field where the creek turns back
By the old stump row
I'm gonna take you to a special place
That nobody knows baby get ready
You and me go fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
It feels so good to be with you
Spring is almost over and the summer's come
And the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right
Just to take you along, baby get ready
And it don't matter if we sit forever
And the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves
From the heat of the night, baby get ready
You and me go fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
It feels so good to be with you
You and me go fishin'
(You and me go fishin in the dark)
In the dark lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows, down by the river
(Down by the light)
In the full moonlight we'll be fallin' in love in the middle of
the night
(We'll be fallin in love)
Just movin' slow
You and me go fishin'
(You and me go fishin in the dark)
In the dark lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
(Down by the light)
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
9.(All I Have to Do Is) Dream
Lyricist:Boudleaux Bryant, Felice Bryant
When I want you in my arms
And I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream dream dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I want you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream dream dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee wiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream dream dream, dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee wiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die,
I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is
Dream, dream dream dream
Dream, dream dream dream
Dream, dream dream dream
Dream, dream dream dream

10.Santa Rosa
Lyricist:Kenneth Loggins
Seems like ten years ago, though today my mind is slow
Me and Mickey Craig were running west from Idaho
Robbed a bank to get some bread, seems like fifteen men lay dead
In a path that led us straight to Santa Rosa
Now and then ol' Mickey'd say, 'Boy, at home you should've
stayed
Than to follow me and learn the life of looking back'
But he'd spit and slap his side just to see if he's alive
Then he'd sing his banjo song of Santa Rosa
He said, whoa-oh, singin', 'Oh, Santa Rosa', whoa-oh, high and
low, ooh
Then one day, sang ol' Craig, 'I'll be free to go my way
And be standin' by the bay at Santa Rosa', yeah
Now one time, late at night, Mickey lit no fire light
'Cause he feared the posse close behind might flush us out
But he picked a bit 'fore sleep to the tune of Cripple Creek
He was murdered by a man from Santa Rosa
He sang, whoa-oh, singin', 'Oh, Santa Rosa'
Whoa-oh, singin', 'Oh, Santa Rosa', whoa-oh, high and low, ooh
Till I come once again with my banjo pickin' friend
We'll be, oh, high and low in Santa Rosa
Get up
11.The Moon Just Turned Blue
Lyricist:John David Souther
Hang up the phone, lose my number
Leave me alone so I can cry
Don't touch my heart anymore
It's broken and sore
And the moon just turned blue
Goodbye, goodbye
Just go on back to your old boyfriend
He'll take you home
And I know why, it's only fair I guess
My heart won't die from this
And the moon just turned blue
Goodbye, goodbye
I said the moon just turned blue
I was lookin' right at you
Lookin' sweet and baby blue
And shy, oh Lord
I got me thinking, baby, such a fancy lady
She might be tellin' mighty fancy lies
So count me out of your triangle
I'm number three and honey I can't pretend
I don't need heartache at all
My heart can't take the fall
And the moon just turned blue
Goodbye, goodbye
(Goodbye, mama)
It's only fair I guess
My heart won't die from this
And the moon just turned blue
Goodbye, goodbye
I said the moon it just turned blue
Baby, bye bye
12.Jealous Moon
Lyricist:Matraca Berg, Jeff Hanna, Tim Krekel
Saw her there in the fading light
In full bloom on a summer night
Nothing but the man in the moon
Was standing in my way
I was drunk on the warm sweet air
Tangled up in her raven hair
I should've known but I didn't care
She'd be gone by the light of day
'Cause her eyes were shining brighter
Than the light of the jealous moon
And the stars fell all around her
Well, did I see you smilin'
When the morning came too soon
Did I see you smilin'
Jealous moon, jealous moon
Now the sun dances across my room
I can smell the wine and her soft perfume
The only thing that lets me know
That an angel wasn't here
You know I had this crazy dream
She flew away on stolen wings
But all she took was a pair of jeans
When see saw that the coast was clear
And her eyes were shining brighter
Than the light of the jealous moon
And the stars fell all around her
Well, did I see you smilin'
When the morning came too soon
Did I see you smilin'
Jealous moon, jealous moon
And her eyes were shining brighter
Than the light of the jealous moon
And the stars they fell all around her
Well I thought I saw you smilin'
When the morning came too soon
Did I see you smilin'
Jealous moon, jealous moon
Jealous moon, jealous moon
13.Jambalaya (On The Bayou)

14.I've Been Lookin'
Lyricist:Jeff Hannah, Jimmy Ibbotson
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talkin' about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine
I had too much lonely, I need a one and only
Someone I can care about and call my own
With the true tradition, without an intermission
We'll still be together when the kids are grown
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talkin' about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talkin' about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine
I've been lookin' for someone to be all
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talkin' about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talkin' about someone who's scared of promises or
keeping 'em
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
15.Yukon Railroad
Lyricist:Ken Loggins, Dan Lottermoser
Here we go sailin' low
Bet your mom and pop, baby, will never know
We're steppin' by the river where the woodchucks go
Down by the Yukon Railroad
When the sun come up, we go down
You can have your partner and you're foolin' around
Spendin' my time on the open ground
Down by the Yukon Railroad
You can bring a bottle and we'll drink it on the track
Baby never comin' back
Well, I can just imagine about a hundred years ago
Old Number 7, just a steamin' on to heaven
With it's twenty cars a rockin' in tow
Bringin' on the payroll
Here comes the sun now, we're havin' fun
You and me together, baby, are number one
I can feel another day's just begun
Thanks to the Yukon Railroad
You can bring a bottle and we'll drink it on the track
Baby never comin' back
Well, I can just imagine about a hundred years ago
Old Number 7, just a steamin' on to heaven
With it's twenty cars a rockin' in tow bringin' on the payroll
Yeah

Bet your mom and pop, baby, will never know
Steppin' by the river where the woodchucks go
Down by the Yukon Railroad
Thanks to the Yukon Railroad
We love the Yukon Railroad
16.You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
Lyricist:Bob Dylan
Clouds so swift, the rain won't lift
Gates won't close, the railing's froze
So get your mind off wintertime
You ain't going nowhere
Ooh, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day, my bride's gonna come
Ooh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
Buy me a flute, and a gun that shoots
Tail gates and substitutes
Strap yourself to a tree with roots
You ain't going nowhere
Ooh, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day, my bride's gonna come
Ooh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
Well, I don't care how many letters they sent
The morning came and the morning went
So pack up your money, and pick up your tent
You ain't going nowhere
Ooh, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day, my bride's gonna come
Ooh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
And Genghis Khan he could not keep
All his men supplied with sleep.
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we get up to it
Ooh, ride me high
Tomorrow's the da, my bride's gonna come
Ooh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
Ooh, ride me high
Tomorrow's the day, my bride's gonna come
Ooh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
17.Grand Ole Opry Song
Lyricist:Hilo Brown
Come and listen to my story if you will I'm gonna tell
About a gang of fellers from down at Nashville
First I'll start with old Red Foley doin' the 'Chattanooga shoe'
We can't forget Hank Williams with them good old 'Lovesick
blues'
It's time for Roy Acuff to go to Memphis on his train
With Minnie Pearl and Rod Brasfield and lazy Jim Day
Turn on all your radios I know that you will wait
Hear Little Jimmy Dickens sing 'Take an old cold tater and wait'
There'll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too
Bill Monroe singing out them ole 'Kentucky blues'
Ernest Tubb's number, 'Two wrongs won't make a right'
At the Grand Ole Opry every Saturday night
There was Uncle Dave Macon his gold tooth and plug hat
Cowboy Copas singing 'Tragic romance'
Signed sealed and delivered with Sam and Kirk McGee
And the master of ceremony was Mr. George D Hays
There was Lonzo and Oscar a-poppin' bubble gum
George Morgan singin' 'Candy kisses' yum, yum
'Got a hole in my bucket' 'Bringin' in that Georgia mill'
We'll sing 'The sunny side of the mountain'
And dance to the 'Chicken reel'
There'll be guitars and fiddles and banjo pickin' too
Bill Monroe singin' out them ole 'Kentucky blues'
Ernest Tubb's number, 'Two wrongs won't make a right'
At the Grand Ole Opry every Saturday night
You can talk about your singers in all kinds of way
But none could sing the old songs like Bradley Kincaid
With his old hound dog 'Guitar' and the famous 'Blue tail fly'
Stringbean with Hank Snow and old fiddlin' Chubby Wise
There'll be guitars and fiddles, Earl Scruggs and his banjo too
Bill Monroe singin' out them ole 'Kentucky blues'
Ernest Tubb's number 'Two wrongs don't make a right'
At the Grand Ole Opry every Saturday night
18.House at Pooh Corner
Lyricist:Ken Loggins
Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I wandered much further today than I should
And I can't find my way to the three acre wood
So help me if you can I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Winnie, The Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a Bear
So help me if you can I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh
19.Maybe Baby
Lyricist:Charles Holley, Norman Petty
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
It's funny honey, you don't care
You never listen to my prayers
Maybe baby, you will love me someday
Oh well, you are the one that makes glad
Any other woman just makes me sad
And when someday you want me, well
I'll be there, wait and see, maybe baby
Oh well, you are the one that makes glad
Any other woman just makes me sad
And when someday you want me, well
I'll be there, wait and see
Maybe baby, I'll have you
Maybe baby, you'll be true
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
Maybe baby, I'll have you for me
20.Party On The Mountain
Lyricist:Jeff Hanna
There'll be a party on the mountain
People dancing on a hill
Our song will reach across the valley
Take a day off from the mill
There'll be a high lit celebration
We'll string colored lights through pine
There'll be a party on the mountain
If you say that you'll be mine
Be a party on the mountain
Coleslaw, pickles sweetened dill
We'll roast ham and turkey
Make purchases from the still
There'll be a red potato salad
Deviled eggs and custard pie
There'll be a party on the mountain
If you say that you'll be mine
Women clear the dishes
As the sun was goin' down
Then some ladies suggested
It was time to hit the town
â½No way Jose, we'll stayâ
And with the fire glowin'
With the music groovin'
It's too late for slowin' down
We'll party on the mountain
There'll be dancing on the hill
Our song will reach across the valley
Take a day off from the mill
There'll be a high lit celebration
We'll string colored lights through pine
There'll be a party on the mountain
If you say that you'll be mine
Be a party on the mountain
If you say that you'll be mine
21.Rocky Top
Lyricist:Boudleaux Bryant, Felice Bryant
Wish that I was on ole rocky top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke on rocky top
Ain't no telephone bills
Once there was a girl on rocky top
Half bear the other half cat
Wild as a mink sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that
Rocky top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole rocky top
Rocky top Tennessee
Rocky top Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed on rocky top
Lookin' for a moonshine still
Strangers ain't come back from rocky top
Guess they never will
Corn won't grow at all on rocky top
Dirt's too rocky by far
That's why all the folks on rocky top
Get their corn from a jar
Rocky top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole rocky top
Rocky top Tennessee
Rocky top Tennessee
Now I've had years of cramped up city life
Trapped like a duck in a pen
Now all I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again
Rocky top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ole rocky top
Rocky top Tennessee
Rocky top Tennessee
Rocky top Tennessee
Rocky top Tennessee
Yeah, rocky top Tennessee
22.Will The Circle Be Unbroken (Glory, Glory) [f/Taj Mahal, Alison
Krauss & Doc Watson]
Lyricist:Alvin Pleasant Carter
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
When I lay my burden down
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
When I lay my burden down
I was standin' by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I said to the undertaker
'Undertaker, please drive slow
For this body you are holdin'
Oh, I hate to see here go'
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I went back home, then my home was lonesome
Since mama, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters cryin'
What a home, home so sad and lone
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
And I lay my burden down
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
And I lay my burden down
23.Roll The Stone Away
Lyricist:Jeff Hanna, Marcus Hummon
You can swim in this old river
It's been delivered since the factory shut down
And like the river I'm waiting for resurrection
Since I've lost your affection and love left town
There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone away
We were good but we could have been better
And the best is what we're after when it comes right down to
love
You were always the strong one bright as the setting sun
Go shine somewhere else my love some brand new world
There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone away
And like that river I'm waiting for resurrection
Since I've lost your affection and love left town
There'll be no more crying
There's no one left to blame
Love will come out standing
So roll that stone, roll that stone
Roll that stone away, ooh, hey
24.Workin' Man (Nowhere to Go)
Lyricist:Jimmy Fadden
Sittin' alone in the dark
Wastin' my time in a park
'Cause I've got nowhere to go
Had me a job 'til the market fell out
Tried hard to borrow
But there was no help
Now, I've got nowhere to go
I need a job
For these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go
One last look at my land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand
And he says, it's got to go
Worked this piece all my life
It broke my heart
And it took my wife
Now, I've got nothing to show
I need a job
For these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workin' boots
And my old straw hat in hand
Singing a song by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, it ain't my land
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go
I was born to the sunrise
Breaking back all day
Now, I've got something to say
I am broke but not broken
And I am not alone
'Cause there's a lot of folks
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand?
You can't leave a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand?
You can't leave a workin' man
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
...
25.She
Lyricist:C Ethridge, G Parsons
She
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone
And she
She worked and she slaved so hard
Big old field was her backyard
In the Delta sun
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Oh my, she sure could sing
And he
Looked down and he took a little pity
Whole town swore, he decided
He would help us out
And he
Didn't mind that she wasn't very pretty
'Cause deep inside his heart he knew
She was the only one
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Hey, she sure could sing
She had faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singing, â½Hallelujahâ
They
Used to walk, singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She'd have to go away
She
Never knew what a life was to give her
Never had to worry about it
For one single day
Oh my, she sure could sing
Oh yeah, she sure could sing
She was singing, singing, â½Hallelujahâ
And she
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone
And she
She worked and she slaved so hard
The big old field was her backyard
In the Delta sun
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
Oh yeah, she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
26.Good To Be Alive
Lyricist:Matraca Berg, Troy Verges
Life is like a hurricane
It brings the wind, it brings the rain
Mud and bone and tangled vine
Pick the grape and drink the wine
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
It's good to be alive
Roll in the clover bare your feet
Bees will sting but honey's sweet
Chickens run but angels fly
'Cause God is holding up the sky
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
It's good to be alive
Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
Je suis Vivant, Vivant
Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule
It's good to be alive
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
27.Going Up The Country
Lyricist:Alan Wilson
Going up to the country, baby, do you wanna go?
Going up to the country, tell me do you wanna go?
We're going to some place that we've never been before
We're going, we're going where the water tastes like wine
We're going, we're going where the water tastes like wine
Gonna jump in that the water and stay there all the time
Gonna leave the city, got to get away
Gonna leave the city, got to get away
All that fussing and fighting, man
You know, we sure can't stay
So, baby, pack your leaving trunk we got to get away
Just exactly where we're going you know I cannot say
But we might even see the U.S.A. in a Chevrolet
It's a brand new game, you know, I wanna play
No use of you running, screaming and crying
'Cause you got a home, girl, long as I got mine
28.Jimmy Martin
Lyricist:Phil Madeira, Jimmie Lee Sloas
Well, they call me Jimmy Martin
And they say that I can sing
Of them lonesome broken-hearted
Boys of Bluegrass, I'm the king
I was born up in the mountains
I was raised in poverty
Made a guitar out of nothing
But a cigar box and strings
Took a bus across to Nashville
And that's where I was employed
Picking guitar and singing tenor
With Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys
Yeah, they call me Jimmy Martin
And they say that I can sing
Of them lonesome broken-hearted
Boys of Bluegrass, I'm the king
Back in 1959
With the Sunny Mountain Boys
On that Louisiana Hayride
You never heard such a wondrous noise
We tore it up at the Grand Ole Opry
Walkin' Shoes and Free Born Man
But the circle is still broken
My greatest dream slipped through my hands
Well, they call me Jimmy Martin
And they say that I can sing
Of them lonesome broken-hearted
Boys of Bluegrass, I'm the king
Of them lonesome broken-hearted
Boys of Bluegrass, I'm the king
29.Earthquake
Lyricist:Bob Carpenter, John Mceuen
I got myself a sweetheart
A real good steady job
A house up on the hillside
Who's price keeps goin' up
Soakin' in my hot tub
Life's workin' out just right
But then the earth starts shakin'
Here comes the afterlife
Earthquake, earthquake
Ridin' hell's emotion
That earthquake, earthquake
Churnin' up the fear
That earthquake, earthquake
Devil's locomotion
That earthquake, earthquake
Gonna run me outta here
There's no head on this chicken
When the ground is on the rise
I flee in all directions
And I pray toward the skies
I've never been a coward
Or that extremely wise
But it doesn't take a genius
To know it's time to say goodbye
To that earthquake, earthquake
Ridin' hell's emotion
That earthquake, earthquake
Churnin' up the fear
That earthquake, earthquake
The devil's locomotion
That earthquake, earthquake
Gonna run me outta here
I'm packin' up and goin' to North Dakota
Well, I heard it's freezin' cold but I don't care
I'd rather get that frostbite on my fingers
Than end up crushed beneath my Frigidaire
So forgive me if I'm out of sorts
I'm really not to blame
The fault lies with Andreas
Oh, she's messin' up my brain
I love this sunny paradise
But hate it's rock and roll
Oh, I can't stand the ups and downs
I really gotta go
Earthquake, earthquake
Ridin' hell's emotion
That earthquake, earthquake
Churnin' up the fear
That earthquake, earthquake
Devil's locomotion
That earthquake, earthquake
Gonna run me outta here
That earthquake, earthquake
That earthquake, earthquake
Earthquake, earthquake
That earthquake, earthquake
Oh, I'm gettin' out of here
That earthquake, that earthquake
That earthquake, oh, I'm gettin' out of here
(That earthquake)
Bye, bye, bye, bye
(That earthquake)
That earthquake, oh, I'm gettin' out of here
30.Tryin' To Try
Lyricist:Guy Clark, Jimmie Fadden
Throwed a rock through your window
Just to let you know I love you
Just to let you know that I care
And I ain't scared to have you see the way I feel
Blowed a kiss through your keyhole
Just to let you know I'm breathing
Oh, just to try and smack you in the heart
If I were smart I'd give up and go back home
I'm not tryin' to say I'm sorry, I'm tryin' to say I love you
Not tryin' to make excuses nor put myself above you
I'm not tryin' to rearrange it, not tryin' to change it
The only thing I'm tryin' to do is try
Well, I hung out by your back porch
Just to try and catch you leaving
Oh, just to catch you unaware, that's not fair
I don't care 'cause I ain't proud
And I leaned on your door bell
Just to see if you would answer
Oh, just to see if you would open up
No such luck, I'll come back when you calm down
I'm not tryin' to say I'm sorry, I'm tryin' to say I love you
Not tryin' to make excuses nor put myself above you
I'm not tryin' to rearrange it, not tryin' to change it
The only thing I'm tryin' to do is try
31.Tulsa Sounds Like Trouble To Me
Lyricist:Shawn Camp, Mark D Sanders
Well, me and trouble never been
Strangers nor the best of friends
Well, I can find it easily
I'd assume that it'd find me
I ain't attached to what I got
And I'm sure likin' what I see
I'd follow you to Little Rock
But Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
Had me a gal in Tulsa once
One day I took her out to lunch
I got up, excused myself
And fell in love with someone else
I ain't attached to what I got
And I'm sure likin' what I see
I'd follow you to Little Rock
But Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
I love them Oklahoma hills
I always have, I always will
Got an itch to call 'em home
But I'd live longer stayin' gone
I ain't attached to what I got
And I'm sure likin' what I see
I'd follow you to Little Rock
But Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
Yeah, it's a big ol' country here
I rambled it from ear to ear
There's places I'm still welcome in
But Tulsa it ain't one of them
Tulsa it ain't one of them
I ain't attached to what I got
And I'm sure likin' what I see
I'd follow you to Little Rock
But Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
Tulsa sounds like trouble to me
32.Speed Of Life
Lyricist:Gary Scruggs
Time can fly when you're having fun
Time drags by when you miss someone
We say hello and we say goodbye
Coming and going at the speed of life
You start out crawling then you learn to walk
You run into someone and then you fall
The band plays on as worlds collide
Drums keep beating at the speed of life
Come on, baby, ride with me
Four strong winds, seven deep seas
A big blue ball flying through space
Can't turn back not a minute to waste
Womb to the tomb, blink of an eye
Everything's moving at the speed of life
Well, I don't know what the future holds
But I been watching the river flow
It can sink quick and it can rise high
Always rolling at the speed of life
Come on, baby, ride with me
Four strong winds, seven deep seas
A big blue ball flying through space
Can't turn back not a minute to waste
Womb to the tomb, the blink of an eye
Everything's moving at the speed of life
Lady luck, father time
Everything's moving at the speed of life
33.Stuck In The Middle
Lyricist:Joe Egan, Gerry Rafferty
They say, 'Please, please'
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I get so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
There's clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Lose control, yeah, I'm all over the place
There's clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Oh well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self made man, yeah, you are
And your friends, they all come calling
Slap you on the back and say, 'Please, please'
Come on
Well, I'm trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
There's clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self made man
But and your friends, they all come calling
Slap you on the back and say, 'Please, please'
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
Well, I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
One more time, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
34.Daddy Was a Sailor
Lyricist:Jimmie Fadden
Daddy was a sailor
Join the navy see the world
Daddy was a sailor
Boy, he liked the pretty girls
Taught me how to dance
Taught me that jitter bug groove
Taught me how to make romance, yeah
My daddy taught me how to move
Daddy was a lover
He traveled all around the world
Daddy was a lover
Be he loved the pretty girls
Taught me how to cuss
Some folks didn't approve
Taught me how to fight and fuss, yeah
My daddy taught me how to move
Daddy wasn't always at home that much
But somehow he managed to keep in touch
Well he sent me a hula girl postcard from Hawaii
He did and that was just enough for that six year kid
Well, I never joined the navy
But you know I've been around the world
'Cause something that he gave me
Pleases all the little girls
Move a little closer baby, please say yes
No, don't say maybe the time is right
And it feels good tonight
I really think we're gonna move
I really think we're gonna move
Ooh, ooh, ooh
35.Keepin' the Road Hot
Lyricist:Robert Carpenter, Jeff Hanna
They say when you find true love
You'd better hang on to what you've got
Find a way to make it last
Be sure that girl is yours
Well, my baby lives away 'cross town
Until things change, I'm blacktop bound
It makes me feel alive to rev it up and ride
I'll be keepin' the road hot
I'm on the move, ain't gonna stop
Hearts on fire and we're miles apart
So I'll be keepin' the road hot
I get up and I work all day
The minutes seem like hours as they tick away
By afternoon the time's so slow
I'm a daydream nighttime Romeo
Then the whistle blows and it's time to rock
I head out for that parking lot
Car is on my side, I rev it up and ride
I'll be keepin' the road hot
I'm on the move, ain't gonna stop
Hearts on fire and we're miles apart
So I'll be keepin' the road hot
Mmm, that highway sound
Thinking of her as the wheels go 'round
It's got me hypnotized every time I ride
I'll be keepin' the road hot
I'm on the move, ain't gonna stop
Wheels are burnin' that ol' blacktop
Yeah, I'll be keepin' the road hot
I'll be keepin' the road hot
I'll be keepin' the road hot, oh
I'll be keepin' the road hot
I'll be keepin' the road hot, oh
I'll be keepin' the road hot
Lyricist:Bill Browning
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be here alone just knowing that you're gone
As I slowly lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down, down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be in some big city
In a small room with your love on my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down, down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than to be here alone just knowing that you're gone
As I slowly lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me farther on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm going and I ain't coming back
37.Colorado Christmas
Lyricist:Goodman Steve
Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel
You'd never know that it was Christmas Eve
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells
And the temperature is eighty-four degrees
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
But there's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limousine
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
I remember Christmases when I was just a boy
In the morning I would run to see the tree
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas
joy
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me
Now the sun is setting in the California sky
And I can't find the spirit anywhere
So I think it's time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye
I'm going back home to look for Christmas there
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
38.Walkin' in the Sunshine
Lyricist:Jeffrey Hanna, Kostas
I never knew what love could do
Something I never knew 'til you came along
You, I found you just in time
You touched this heart of mine, dark clouds have all gone
Now I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Beneath the sky of blue
Yes, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Girl, now that I found you
And when I see you smile at me
Your love comes shining through
Yes, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Girl, now that I found you
Now you changed everything
I feel like I got wings learning how to fly
High, higher then I've ever been
I'm feelin' alive again, you're the reason why
Oh, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Beneath the sky of blue
Yes, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Girl, now that I found you
And when I see you smile at me
Your love comes shining through
Yes, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Girl, now that I found you
Wooh, oh, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Yes, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Now that I found you, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Now that I found you
Wooh, oh, I'm walkin' in the sunshine
Girl, now that I found you
Now that I found you
39.It's a New Day
Lyricist:Matraca Berg, Timothy Krekel
Sleep deprived an' fallin' apart
Starin' down your demons, out there in the dark
At the end of the tunnel, you can see a light
Well, if that ain't a train you made it through the night
An' it's a new day in the mornin'
Anythin' is possible, it's all good
For brief shinin' moment
Everythin' is wonderful
Knock on wood, knock on wood
Well, you get knocked down an' you get back up
You get knocked down again, well, it's just your luck, hah
It's just one of those years that you gotta get through
An' then you wake up an' find, it made a man outta you
It's a new day in the mornin'
Anythin' is possible an' it's all good
For brief shinin' moment
Everythin' is wonderful
Knock on wood, knock on wood
It's a little humblin' down on your knees
Ah, but if you say, 'Please'
An' it's a new day in the mornin'
An' anythin' is possible an' it's all good
(It's all good)
For brief shinin' moment
Everythin' is wonderful
Knock on wood, knock on wood
40.Buy For Me The Rain
Lyricist:Greg Copeland, Steve Noonan
Buy for me the rain, my darling, buy for me the rain
Buy for me the crystal pools that fall upon the plain
And I'll buy for you a rainbow and a million pots of gold
Buy it for me now, babe, before I am too old
Buy for me the sun, my darling, buy for me the sun
Buy for me the light that falls when day has just begun
And I'll buy for you a shadow to protect you from the day
Buy it for me now, babe, before I go away
Buy for me the robin, darling, buy for me the wing
Buy for me a sparrow, almost any flying thing
And I'll buy for you a tree, my love, where a robin's nest may
grow
Buy it for me now, babe, the years all hurry so
I cannot buy you happiness, I cannot by you years
I cannot buy you happiness, in place of all the tears
But I can buy for you a gravestone, to lay behind your head
Gravestones cheer the living, dear, they're no use to the dead
41.Amazing Love
Lyricist:Robert Carpenter, Jeffrey Hanna, Tom Kell
Amazing love so rich and rare
Amazing love beyond compare
A life so full of blessings and promises fulfilled
Be careful not to run and hide from this amazing love
Once as a child I did not see
That all my deeds returned to me
But I have traveled miles and made a few mistakes
I've learned about forgiveness and found amazing love
Even though a mother guards her children
Still they stumble, fall and shed a tear
Lessons learned and healing hands upon them
Through the years, through the years
Was a time when I was so alone and
Feeling that my life was incomplete
Oh, my heavy heart was barely beating
Down so deep, down so deep
Amazing love now in my arms
Amazing love to call my own
A life so full of blessings and promises fulfilled
Be careful not to run and hide from this amazing love
Amazing love, amazing love, amazing love
42.Brand New Heartache
Lyricist:Jeffrey Hanna, Donny Lowery
Well, I feel my body tremble
And I feel my blood run cold
I'm gonna make a fool of myself again
By now you'd think I'd know
I swore that the last time
I'd learned from my mistakes
But I think I'm headed
For a brand new heartache
It's a brand new heartache
Just when I thought that I was free
But that same old haunting feeling
Is coming back to me
Well, ain't it all too familiar?
I think I recognize it's face
Well, I'm just not ready
For a brand new heartache
Well, love can bring you pleasure
But it can also cause you pain
You think the sun might shine forever
Then Lord, here comes the rain
They say time can be a healer
Well, tell me how long will it take?
'Cause I think I'm headed
For a brand new heartache
Though I should know better
Temptation still prevails
Once again I find myself
Underneath the spell
Of a brand new heartache
Just when I thought that I was free
But the same old haunting
Feeling is coming back to me
Well, ain't it all too familiar?
I think I recognize it's face
Well, I'm just not ready
For a brand new heartache
I said, 'I'm just not ready
For a brand new heartache'
