Tracy Byrd 20Th Century Masters[The Millennium Lyrics
1.Holdin' Heaven

I'm face to face with an angel
How'd you get those eyes so blue
You're a vision in white and I've been waitin' all night
Just to have one dance with you
Now all my dreams are comin' true

Chorus
I'm holdin' heaven in my arms tonight
Everything about you is so perfectly right
I've never been there but I think I might
Be holdin' heaven in my arms tonight

I'm not sure where you came from
But I thank my lucky stars above
That I got the chance to have a dance
But one dance just ain't enough
I think I'm fallin' in love

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

I'm holdin' heaven in my arms tonight


2.Lifestyles Of The Not So Rich And Famous

Lyrics:Byron Hill/Wayne Tester
Music:Byron Hill/Wayne Tester

Honey they're bringin' out a tv crew
They wanna do a story 'bout me and you
They'll be stringin' up bright lights in the backyard
There'll be cameras on their shoulders
We'll be readin' cue cards
Leave them long johns on the line
If the kids look dirty, that'll be just fine

They're gonna put us on
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They wanna see us go hog wild
Over beans and barbecue
They wanna see my fairlane up on blocks
The holes in all our socks
Talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous

Tell 'em bout your mama and the bowling league
Tell 'em bout junior and his baseball team
I'll show 'em my nine point buck on the wall
I'll blow a few times on my new duck call
Let 'em see ol' blue how he sleeps all day
We'll bring out the elvis tv trays

They're gonna put us on
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They wanna see us go hog wild
Over beans and barbecue
They wanna see my fairlane up on blocks
The holes in all our socks
Talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous

Yeah our idea of high class livin'
Is sittin' on the porch on a cool night
Our champagne and caviar
Is an rc cola and a moon pie

I'm talkin' 'bout lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
lifestyles of the not so rich and famous


3.Watermelon Crawl

Lyrics:Buddy Brock/Zack Turner
Music:Buddy Brock/Zack Turner

I was driving thru Georgia in late July
On a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh
I saw a homemade sign written in red
Rind County Watermelon Festival Ahead
Well, I wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down
Took a two lane road to a one horse town
There was a party going on when I got there
I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor

He said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl

When the band started playing the watermelon queen said
Let me show you something that you ain't never seen
She grabbed me by the arm said come on let's go
She dipped down spun around and doe-see-doed
She rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees
Crawled across the floor then she jumped back on her feet
She wiggled and she giggled beat all you ever saw
Said this is how you do the watermelon crawl

She said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl

Well if you're ever down in Georgia round about July
If you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by
I can guarantee that you're gonna have a ball
Learning how to do the watermelon crawl

Well we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl

Do the watermelon crawl
Have fun you all
Do the watermelon crawl


4.The First Step

Written:Doug Crider/Verlon Thompson

The lights were hot and the beer was not
And the band was playin' loud
The house was full
But her eyes pulled me right cross the crowd
And I said how's a guy like me to get to know you
She said not so fast, let me show you

She said the first step is the two-step
I'm here to dance and nothing more
Swing me 'round that hardwood floor
If you want to run with me, crawl before you walk
The first step is the two-step then we'll talk

We sang along with every song
And the room was spinnin' 'round
We danced in line, she felt so fine
And we hardly hit the ground
So I said maybe we could make a reservation
For some wine with candlelight and conversation

She said the first step is the two-step
I'm here to dance and nothing more
Swing me 'round that hardwood floor
If you want to run with me, crawl before you walk
The first step is the two-step then we'll talk

Well first things first, let's two-step, then we'll talk


5.The Keeper Of The Stars

Written:Dickey Lee/Danny Mayo/Karen Staley

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight

I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude

So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew


6.Walking To Jerusalem

Lyrics:Sam Hogin/Mark D.Sanders
Music:Sam Hogin/Mark D.Sanders

I dressed up in my best
My Ropers and my vest
And waited by the door with these roses
Till you came walkin' in
With your high falutin' friends
So busy lookin' down your noses
Now here you are ignorin' me
Girl I might as well be

Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem

You wore your boots last night
You kissed me and held me tight
You said you'd always be my cowgirl
But tonight you're hangin' out
With that Christian Dior crowd
So where does that leave me now girl
You're as cold as Polar regions
I oughta join the French Foreign Legion And Go

Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem

I can see me in a long robe
Studyin' the book of Job and

Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
And ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin'
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
And walkin' to Jerusalem
And walkin' to Jerusalem


7.Love Lessons

Written:Jerry Kilgore/Ted Hewitt/Monty Powell/Sarah Majors

Don't be afraid darling you can tell me
What it takes to make your world turn
If you're willing there's time
And if you're so inclined
Just give me a sign

I wanna take love lessons baby from you
Whatever it is you want I want to please you
I wanna take love lessons baby real slow
Teach me everything i need to know

Take my hand let's talk about us
Whisper soft what it is you're thinking of
I wanna hold you tight
Won't you show me how tonight
Let's turn down the lights

I wanna take love lessons baby from you
Whatever it is you want I want to please you
I wanna take love lessons baby real slow
Teach me everything I need to know
Teach me everything I need to know


8.Big Love

Written:Michael Clark/Jeff Stevens

You need a man to get lost in
With a heart big enough to roam
No more fences for you to look through
With your heart caught in a strangle hold
I've got a love full of wide open spaces

I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love

When two hearts make a stand together
On the solid rock of trust
They could be a million miles from each other
And still be side by side in love
I want to love you like that forever

I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love

You never dreamed you could have all you ever wanted
Darlin' you can have it all with me

I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
I've got a big love

I've got a big love
I've got a big love


9.Don't Take Her She's All I Got

Written:Jerry Williams/Gary U.S.Bonds

Well I said friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need

She is life when I want to live
She's everything to me in life that life can give
She's my water when I need a drink
She's the first thought in my mind
Each time I try to think

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need

She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in wintertime
And make a flower grow

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Well I said friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got


10.I'm From The Country

Written:Marty Brown/Richard Young/Stan Webb

Way back up in the country, back in the hills
Down in the hollows where the folks are real
Livin' with the crazzies and the old wildcats
Sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps
That's where I'm from and I'm proud to say
I'm from the country and I like it that way

Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way

All day long we work in the fields
Then bring it on home to a home cooked meal
We love ya like Sunday, treat ya like Saturday night
And when the bed gets full we can sleep in the hay (hey)
We're from the country and we like it that way

Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way

Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country
We're from the country
We're from the country and we like it that way
