This Country's Rockin'

The Judds This Country's Rockin' Lyrics
1.Cadillac Red

Well, she's washed and polished
And full of high octane
Ridin' with the top down
Crusin' in the fast land
Her red hairs blowin' bright as a flame
Cadillac red's her name

(chorus)

Cadillac red
Singin' as she passes by
Cadillac red
See that hillbilly fly
Catch her if you can
She can out run any man
Cadillac red

Her radio's loud and she's rollin' to the back beat
Her best girlfriends are all piled in the backseat
She's puttin her lipstick on
Cause' there's a mustang blowin' his horn

(repeat chorus)

Hey, hey, cadillac red
Hey, hey, cadillac red
Hey, hey, cadillac red
Hey, hey, cadillac red


2.Change Of Heart

When you were mine
I was still playing
And promises that i made
Were just words i was saying
I was playing you for a fool
Breaking love's precious rule
I did you so wrong
Guess you knew all along

That i had my boss lie for me
To say i was working late
My friends alibied for me
When i'd slip out to meet a date
But, baby, now i see
I was only cheating me
Before you go
I just want you to know

(chorus)

That i've had a change of heart
I've had a change of heart
I see what i put you through
And i'll make it up to you
I've had a change of heart

I've just got to show you
How differently i feel
That i can be true to you
That my love is real
But my past will forever haunt me
If you say that you don't want me
I'm down on my knees
I'm beggin' you please, won't you?

Have a change of heart
Please have a, have a change of heart
I see what i put you through
I'll make it up to you
Please have a change of heart
Please have a change of heart
Please have a change of heart


3.Guardian Angels

A hundred year old photograph
Stares out from a frame
And if you look real close you'll see
Our eyes are just the same
I never met them face to face
But i still know them well
From the stories
My dear grandma would tell

Elijah was a farmer
He knew how to make things grow
Fannie vowed she'd follow him
Wherever he would go
As things turned out they never left
Their small kentucky farm
But he kept her fed
She kept him warm

(chorus)

They're my guardian angels
And i know they can see
Ev'ry step i take
They are watching over me
I might not know where i'm goin'
But i'm sure where i come from
They're my guardian angels
And i'm their special one

Sometimes when i'm tired
I feel elijah take my arm
He says, 'keep a-goin', hard work
Never did a body harm.'
And when i'm really troubled
And i don't know what to do
Fannie whispers, 'just do your best, we're awful proud of you!'

(chorus)

A hundred year old photograph
Stares out from a frame
And if you look real close you'll see
Our eyes are just the same


4.Lazy Country Evening

Lazy country evening
Sittin' by you
The baby's
In his cradle
And the day's
Almost through

Red sunset
Over pine trees
I'm feelin'
High as the mountain
Free
As the breeze

Yodeleeo, yodeleeo
Yodeleeo, yodeleeo

Whippoorwill calls
Darkness falls
The perfect
Way to say
Time to close
Another perfect day


5.Mr. Pain

Met my first love down in texas
In a club in san anton'
Both of us were lonely
Had no one to call our own
So we danced and laughed 'til closin' time
And had no place to go
So with the top pulled down we drove all night
Ran off to mexico

But my blond-haired, blue-eyed cowboy
Turned out to be bad news
Disappeared one morning
Left his old boots and the blues
Now there's been so many others
But none of them were true
The only one i could count on to keep me
Company is you

Mr. pain-- oh, it's you again
Never really wanted us to be such friends
You always seem to show up
When i'm all alone
That's when you move right in
And make yourself at home
Mr. pain, oh, mr. pain

Well, you'd think by now that i'd have learned
To see through your disguise
A heartache really shouldn't be
So hard to recognize
But you wear so many faces
Every line is new
And somehow i just always end up
Wakin' up with you

Mr. pain-- oh, it's you again
Never really wanted us to be such friends
Never fail to find me when i'm all alone
That's when you move right in
And make yourself at home
Mr. pain, oh, mr.pain


6.River Of Time

I'm holding back a flood of tears
Just thinking 'bout those happy years
Like all the good times that are no more
My love is gone...gone...gone forever more

Silence so deep only my soul can hear
Says now the past is what i fear
The future isn't what it used to be
Only today is all that's promised me

Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time

We're all driven by the winds of change
Seems like nothing ever stays the same
It's fate that guides me around the bend
Life's forever beginning, beginning again

Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time

Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Flow on
Carry me away and heal my mind

Flow on river of time
Flow on
Flow on river of time


7.Rompin' Stompin' Blues

His letter came this morning
C.o.d.
Says he's found somebody
Who reminds him of me
He says he needs some space
That might be the case
Wasn't even man enough
To tell me to my face
I got the rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues

He stole my money
He stole my time
When he stole my heart
Honey, he really crossed that line
A major felony
Send out an a.p.b.
Go tell that thief of hearts
To bring it on back to me
I got the rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues

Well, come tonight
I'm steppin' out
Gonna sing and dance
Gonna shake and shout
Forget about ol' what's his name
You know two can play this game
Whatever it takes to lose
These rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues

Well, men are full of trouble
Girl, that ain't nothin' new
We ain't found nothin' better
And until the day we do
Sister friend, be wise
Just realize
Stay away from the ones
Who'll do you wrong and tell you lies
They'll give you the rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues

That's right
They'll give you the rompin', stompin'
Bad news blues


8.This Country's Rockin'

It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
If you're old or young
Everybody, every now and then
Has got to have some fun
So turn up the music
Turn up the juice
Put me in the spotlight
And turn me loose
You better hold on tight
This country's gonna rock tonight

(chorus)

This country's rockin'
To the beat of a brand new drum
Back in kentucky where i come from
They love to hear that old guitar strum
This country's rockin'
Jump back and let the bad boys play
Everywhere across the usa
This country's rockin' all the way

You might ride a horse, drive a porsche
Or cruise in limousines
Eat caviar with champagne
Or cornbread with your pinto beans
But there's one thing
In which we all agree
We love our country music
Like the queen loves tea
What a lovely sight
We're gonna rock tonight

(repeat chorus)


9.When King Jesus Calls His Children Home

When they plant me like a seed in the ground
In silent sleep beneath some mossy mound
I'll be like a rose just waitin' for the spring
'cause i'm a gonna rise up, rise up, shout and sing

'cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When i hear, i hear that trumpet sound
I know i've been a dyin' since the day that i was born
But now i'm living for that resurrection morn'

(chorus)

When king jesus calls his children home
When king jesus calls his children home
I'm a gonna wear my snow white gown
I'm gonna put on a starry crown
When king jesus calls his children home

Like a bird in a cage that's been set free
My soul will sing throughout eternity
I'll shed this mortal shell, oh, let ol' satan stay in hell
I'll see glory that no human tongue can tell

(repeat chorus)

Ye know not the hour
Ye know not the day
So, be humble, my children
Hide and watch and pray

(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
