Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know

"A House With No Curtains"

We still wear our rings
We still say I love you
We both play the part oh so well
But everyone knows
It's just a sad show
And we're only foolin' ourselves

Cowboys and pioneers, come lend your eyes and ears.
I've got the need to testify.
Don't try to fill your nest out in the open west
'cuz there's a million ways to die.

Six bullets in the gut or just a paper cut
Too many ways to quantify.
They'll cut your ankle off to cure a minor cough

Cowboys and pioneers, come lend your eyes and ears.
I've got the need to testify.
Don't try to fill your nest out in the open west
'cuz there's a million ways to die.

Six bullets in the gut or just a paper cut
Too many ways to quantify.
They'll cut your ankle off to cure a minor cough

Her right hand closed the front porch door
Suddenly a child no more
All the ribbons all the bows in a box now on her closet floor
Anxious for what's to come
Afraid to leave a place she loves

She's not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world

Oh I'm blessed and I know I am
God has dealt me a winning hand
A loving woman and a fairy land for me

Oh and I can't believe it half the time
When I look at her in perfect light
Sweet vision every day and night I see

This ain't no song 'bout the good old days
Simpler times or easy ways
Oh how I long for an old dirt road
Greener grass or a lighter load

I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in '65
Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
* This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

"Blue Ridge Mountain Song"

He met her in the fall of '93 in the hills of Tennessee
She was barely 17, he was tall and strong and lean
They were deep in love by June
Hand in hand beneath that moon

And she sang a little blue ridge mountain song

Daddy won a radio
He tuned it to a country show
I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar
Mama used to sing to me
She taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries 'cause she never thought
I'd ever really take it this far
Singing in the bars and

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Down by the river on a Friday night
Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women

Dont rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some jones
Cause my heart aint ready
For the rolling stones
I dont feel like rocking
Since my babys gone
So dont rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep
And when I drink too much then I can't eat
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killing me

Everything I love is killing me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turning out to be

I was fifteen, she was eighteen
The prettiest thing I'd ever seen in my life
I loved her at first sight
I found her in Marietta, a town north of Atlanta
I brought her home to see my folks
They loved her too

We were together for a long time

I just came down from Chippewa
Had as station wagon and a hundred dollars
Thinking about the girl I'd lost a year before
I hadn't seen her for some time
Thought I might go on by when your memory came flooding in and you closed that door.
Wish it was a freight train baby
Wish it was a diesel locomotive

I had a dream last night
I was floating down that black water
Kick back on the Mississippi
On a raft with ol' Tom Sawyer
He got restless down around Memphis
That's where he left me
Said I'm one rambling man
I was gone before you met me

She's been playin' in a room on the Strip
For ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror
And she only ages
She's been readin' about Nashville and all
The records that everybody's buyin'
Says 'I'm a simple girl myself
Grew up on Long Island'

I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He's always near
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart

She loves the music, tells the tales of her heart
And she listens closely to the beats and the parts
She likes the songs that make her cry
And ones that pick her up and make her high.

She likes the hip-hop, she loves to rock it ,
She’s got the country in her iPod on her pocket.
She loves the guitar, she likes the fiddle,

Well, I was sitting in a roadhouse down on highway 41
You were wiping off some ketchup on a table that was done
I knew you didn't see me, I was in a corner booth
Of course you weren't my waitress, mine was missing her front tooth

So I flagged you down for coffee but I couldn't say a thing
But I'm in love with you, baby, and I don't even know your name

I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above
Of Jesus and his glory
Of Jesus and his love
I love to tell the story
Because I know 'tis true
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do

A drunk man walking down a rainy street
A wood floor and new socks on your bare feet
You look down and suddenly you're looking up
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love

A bald tire running on an icy road
A steep hill underneath a foot of snow
A greased pig fallen off a pickup truck

There's
Satellite communications
Long distance
Internet relations
The world's
A little faster every day
I know it's all
Well and good

If I surveyed all the good things that come to me from above
If I count all the blessings from the storehouse of love
I'd simply ask for a favor of him beyond mortal king
And I'm sure that he'd grant it again
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we'll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away;

When I look into your soft green eyes
When I see your delicate body revealed to me
As you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh

[Chorus]

Here we are
Talkin' bout forever,
Both know damn well,
It's not easy together.

We've both felt love,
We've both felt pain,
I'll take the sunshine

(Adam Wright/Shannon T. Wright)

If love was a river
And I was a drowning man
Would you get in the water
Would you lend me a hand
If love was a river
Would you sit on the land

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

Ba bom bom
It's alright to be a redneck
It's alright to drive around in a dirty ol' truck
Catch a bunch of fish and shoot a bunch of duck
It's alright to be a redneck
Chase around the girls on Friday night
You wanna make'em feel alright

[Verse 1:]
The sun is hot and that old clock is moving slow
And so am I.
Workday passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it's July.
Getting paid by the hour and older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
I'd like to call him something,

Whenever a chance to meet
Some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man
Get to be this way
I always got a smiling face
Any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why
I just smile and say

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the hearts of all people both near and afar
Christmas everywhere
Feel the love of the season wherever you are
On the small country roads lined with green mistletoe
Big city streets where a thousand lights glow

Let it be Christmas everywhere

I'm always on the road
You're always all alone
And I'm not always there when I'm at home

But I'm ready for a little change
I'm ready to accept some blame
So let's back up to yesterday

Have a little love on a little honeymoon
You got a little dish and you got a little spoon
A little bitty house and a little bitty yard
Little bitty dog and a little bitty car

Well, it's alright to be little bitty
Little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary
They ware the little man
The little man

I go back now and the stores are empty

It happens everytime I think about the reasons why I sittin here alone at night at night and not with you
The heartache takes control and lets me know just what a fool I was and how you cant erase the things you do
And sorry just cant mend the broken heart Ive handed you, break apart is what most broken hearts tell you to do

But Im a long, long way from over you, dont think Ive ever seen so many shades of blue
They say that time will heal, dont know if I ever will cause Im a long, long way from over you

[Instrumental Interlude]

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man<br />
We get together every time we can<br />
The Mississippi River can't keep us apart<br />
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart<br />
Too much love in this Louisiana heart<br />
<br />
We'll see the alligators all a waitin' nearby<br />
Sooner or later, they know I'm gonna try<br />

I like my steak well done, my taters fried
Football games on monday night
It's just who I am
A meat and potato man

I like my coffee black
Ol' tv shows
My women hot and my beer ice cold

Well if i had money
Tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road
I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Years Eve show
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town
Put my collar up, found his name, and felt the wind die down

Then a drunken man in a cowboy suit took me by surprise
Waering shiny boots, a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes
He said 'Friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care'

No candle light, no wine
No plans and that's just fine
Just put your hand in mine
Nothing fancy
Don't need no party dress
I like you just like this
Just like the night we met
Nothing fancy

Remember when I was young so were you,
Time stood still, love was all we knew,
You were the first, so was I
Made love and then you cried -
Remember when.

Remember when we vowed the vows,
Walked the walk,

A willing woman
A willing man
A five room house
And a wedding band
Believe us believe us
Once it begins
You know it don't take long
Til like two people in a heartbreak song

She likes it too

I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
I remember my mama raisin cane with me
She said, Son tell me why you want to ride that thing
She didn't know about the blonde at the Dairy Queen

I got my own reasons why I do what I do

I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
I remember my mama raisin cane with me
She said, "Son tell me why you want to ride that thing"
She didn't know about the blonde at the Dairy Queen

I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to ride motorcycles
She likes it too

This old bar stools feeling higher
As a started sinking lower
The minute that she waltzed right through that door
Not long ago i held her
Like a fool i went and left her
Now she's with somebody else out on that floor

And she's got the rhythm and i got the blues

Born the middle son of a farmer
And a small town Southern man
Like his daddy's daddy before him
Brought up workin' on the land
Fell in love with a small town woman
And they married up and settled down
Natural way of life if you're lucky
For a small town Southern man

Well i'm a-gonna raise a fuss, i'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
Everytime i call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, "no dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes i wonder what i'm gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and papa told me, "son, you gotta make some money

You got the last of all your stuff
You got your car cranked up
And I guess there ain’t a thing that I can say
I’m thinking as I’m standing here
And suddenly it all comes clear
As I watch you drive away

They should have made tail lights blue

Talk about life, talk about death
Talk about catching every breath
Talk about when, and talk about why!
Talk about do, and talk about don’t
Talk about will and talk about won’t
Talk about the sweet…

Chorus:

INTRO: G C D G G

If you [G]wanna drive a big limou[D]sine,
I`ll buy the longest one you`ve ever [G]seen.
I`ll buy you [G]tall, tall trees, and all the [C]waters in the seas;
I`m a [D]fool fool fool for [G]you.

If you [G]wanna own a great big [D]mansion,

If you wanna drive a big limousine
I'll buy the longest one you've ever seen
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

If you wanna own a great big mansion
Well I'll give it my utmost attention
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas

I've had some fond memories of San Angelo,
I've seen some Beauty Queens in El Paso.
Yeah, the best lookin' Women I've ever seen,
Have all been in Texas, and all wearin' jeans.

I'm a Country Plowboy, not a Urban Cowboy,
And I don't ride Bulls but I have fought some men.
Drive a pickup truck, trust in God and luck,

"That's All I Need To Know"

I had to look through our old pictures
To see the way we used to smile
Before we left love in the closet
Like it just went out of style

Can we pull out those old feelin's

With this ring I thee wed and I give to you my life
Mine is yours and yours is mine
And we can live that way forever
With this kiss we will seal that we now are man and wife
Two in one, one in two
That's the way it's got to be
With this love we can live, we can't keep it to ourselves
He is mine, he is yours

He's just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
He's not a walk behinder
He's a new note finder 
His name's a reminder of a blues man
That's already gone
So he started drinking and took somethings

The older I get
The more I think
You only get a minute, better live while you're in it
'Cause it's gone in a blink
And the older I get
The truer it is
It's the people you love, not the money and stuff
That makes you rich

I can hear her heart beat
It seams a little strong
I can hear the things I did wrong
I can hear her thoughts
By looking in her eyes
I can hear her all the times she cried
I can hear the memories
As they echo off the wall

The mechanic raised up from under my hood
He shook his head and said, "This ain't good
Your timin' belt's done shrunk one size too small
Those spark plug wires are a little too long
And your main prodsponder's nearly gone
Your injector ports are stripped and that ain't all"

"Your torque converter's runnin' low on torque

It don't look like much
It's nearly rusted shut
But this heart of mine can hold a lot of love
As broken as it's been
You could make it good again
This heart of mine can hold a lot of love
This heart of mine's
Been broken a thousand times

Our room was filled with silence
I guess we'd said it all
I don't when I'd seen our bedroom
So long I can't recall

We'd built this thing between us
I'm not sure what's the cause
So I sallowed all my pride

Well I heard that you've been wondering
How I'm getting along
I guess that you think I can't make it
With you gone

I don't want you to worry
Don't loose you any sleep
But a man called long distance this morning

"Walk On The Rocks"

After seventeen years behind bars
And lookin' back on his mistakes
He sat down and poured out his heart
When his son came to see him today

He spoke with a voice that trembled

There's a lady living right above me
Pretty as a picture on the wall
Once I helped her with a bag of groceries
We met a time or two out in the hall

She told me somebody hurt her feelings
The hurt that's in her eyes is plain to see
Slowly she's been wearing out my ceiling

Intro: C#-F#-C#-G#-C#

C# F#
What a friend we have in Jesus,
C# G#
All our sins and griefs to bear!
C# F#
What a privilege to carry

When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When it's just you, you can't see through
Those ol' clouds that rain so blue

But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus;
Sing his mercy and his grace.
In the mansions bright and blessed
He'll prepare for us a place.

[Refrain:]
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry

Take up thy cross and follow Me
I heard my Master say
I gave My life to ransom thee
Surrender your all today
Wherever He leads I'll go
Wherever He leads I'll go
I'll follow my Christ who loves me so
Wherever He leads I'll go

All you pretty bags are packed
Forever sure did go by fast
I hope you find the skies are blue
The grass is green and the road is smooth

Chorus:
You go your way, c'est la vie sweet baby
Here's hoping that you don't hate me
