West of Columbus

I got west of Columbus
Standin' in a sweet summer rain.
Brushed the dust off my window,
Smiled in the sunshine once again.
Chorus:
Sometimes people get tough.
You fell like you'll never win.
Sometimes I get led astray.
And Lord, Here you come again.
I got west of Columbus
Then I started to have my fun.
Somewhere out cross Indiana
Like Orion, Chasin' the setting sun.
Chorus
And somewhere down near Tupelo
With the right kind of music in the air.
Way up on a hillside by Life
Watching the sun set right there.
Chorus
I got west of Columbus
Left that life when I did.
Now I got a fire in my belly
And Lord, Here you come again.

Roll Me One
04:29
|
|||
Janey found my keys, Headed straight for the door
Shoutin' revelries, Like so many times before
Maybe sometimes, I tend to walk away
Lone by myself, Skating from day to day
Chorus:
Roll me one when you get to it
This little boy's gonna have his fun
Roll me one when you get to it
This old man, This old man's, Gettin' on
And Bobbie fell apart, Every time I said her name
Never broke my heart, Just how she played her game
Sittin' smokey still, Pushing at everthing
Out in the sunshine, that little girl made me want to sing
Chorus
And Suzie'd take control, Smile in the face of all
Always shootin' full, And drinking alchohol
Dark and dreamy, I'd take it all inside
Same old story, Little boy run and hide
Chorus
And Janey stole my car, That little girl never made it far.

I got drunk on whiskey, When I should have been drinking wine.
Been whistling Dixie, For seems like a long, long time.
And I ain't never had no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind.
I've seen a million miles, Roll right by my side.
Struggled and Stricken, Blinded by headlights.
But I ain't never had no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind.
Bridge:
Somewhere back from Boston,
I lost my sense of right.
And way, way out in Texas,
I got in a big ol' fight.
I called my lady, Said "Hey Baby"
Baby I'm coming home.
I got drunk on whiskey, When I should have been drinking wine.
Been whistling Dixie, For seems like a long. long time.
And I ain't never had no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind.
I got dug in a snowstorm, When I slid down a mountainside.
Branded an outlaw, Had to run and hide.
But I stil don't have no problem, Kickin' back and feeling kind.

Alone

Come on, Meet me by the river
You know you'll get your love right there
Maybe some summer breeze,
Will blow around all your beautiful hair
Oh, That would make it right and fine
Oh, We're gonna make it work this time.
Chorus:
I sing a song about the moonlight,
And I cry all night just the same.
I sing a song about maybe holding hands,
Just walkin' and a talkin' how sometimes,
I look in your eyes and the smoke rolls by,
I wake up alone.
About this time last Thursday morning bring you flowers
You know you got your love right there
Its like waking up every morning,
With the sunshine on your hair
Oh, oh yeah I loved you
Even when the nigh time got through
Oh, oh yeah, You were my thrill again
Chorus
I'll play my music all day long and can
Then I'll run to you when the night gets through
Just dancin', dancin' and holding hands
We're gonna breathe, and paint the nigh time blue.
Chorus

So So Slow
03:54
|
|||
A misty morning waking up,she said, I was feeling fine
The sunlight crept on the window pane, I tried to, unwind my mind
There was snow on the cedar boughs that morning, and I felt it was time
To finally lose all self control, This time really unwind.
There've been times like these before,
When you taste your own life in the wind.
There been times when you mistook lovin'
For just holding hands
Chorus:
Come out dancing
Gonna put that right dress on
I'll lay down the music,
So so slow, I'll make it so
Come out dancing
Gonna wait for that precious little moment,
When I lay you down,
So so Slow
It was the other morning waking up, I wrapped you up my love girl
Whispered sweet in your ear, to me you mean the world
Maybe someday when we are as one.
Maybe someday this game 'll be won
There've been times like these before
Always reaching out for something you can't catch,
There've been times when I mistook loving,
For just holding hands
Chorus

Angel Band

My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run;
My strongest trials now are past,
My triumph is begun.
* Refrain:
Oh, come, angel band,
Come and around me stand;
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my eternal home;
Oh, bear me away on your snowy wings
To my eternal home.
I know I’m near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear—
I hear the waves on Jordan’s banks,
The crossing must be near.
Oh, bear my longing heart to Him,
Who bled and died for me;
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin,
And gives me victory.

Blues in My Arms
03:24
|
|||
My Momma always told me,
Go find yourself a lady,
A special someone, young and brave.
But I'm here with you.
And that's why I am so blue.
'Cause tonight in my arms will be you.
I've tried to leave you,
But you would not let me go.
I'd try to kill you, but the lawman would know.
And so I am with you.
And I'll be singing out the blues.
'Cause tonight in my arms will be you.
Oh throw me some mercy Lord.
Rain it down on me.
Your child needs some saving, Oh please set him free.
Lord she's still with me.
And that's why I sing these blues.
'Cause tonight in my arms will be you.
I'm sorry Momma
I should have paid heed.
and looked for a woman, without hatred or greed.
But she's still here with me.
That's why I'm so blue.
'Cause tonight in my arms will be you.

My Love
03:02
|

I told you this time, It would take all night,
Just to hold you close and make everything alright.
Come take me by the hand, Soon we'll both understand,
Just how we can be, Lovin' hand in hand.
Chorus:
I'll give you my love, Lay back and take it!
We'll make a boom boom sound all night.
I'll give you my love, Let's see if we can break it!
Mmmmmmmhhhh, Hold me tight.
When the sun goes down, We'll start our lovin' sound,
Lay right down and we'll take our own sweet time.
You be so silky smooth, I'll bring all my groove,
A ball entangled, A freaky, freaky night.
Chorus
Come get close dear, Make it the most dear,
Stay and await the morning to arrive.
We'll turn this moaning sound, Into a singing sound,
Right and graceful, and oh so full of life.
Chorus

So Beautiful
04:13
|

You sat in the corner kinda mocking me,
You dared me to say my name.
I moved so I could see you,
Of I wanted to play your game.
And I said,
Chorus:
Don't sit there looking so beautiful
Please don't waste my time
Cause you sure know how to look beautiful
I think I might just lose my mind.
Girl, everytime you walk by,
There's a sweetness in the air.
I just want to wrap my arms around you,
I just want to be right there.
Chorus
Oh,Oh come on close
I just want to feel you near.
Sometimes I yearn for you,
To be layin' right here
Chorus
A slow, slow dance in the moonlight.
Maybe a Kiss or two.
I'll make you mine and it'll be so fine.
Maybe a Kiss or two.
