Place In The Heart

She stood at the edge of a rocky ledge looking down at the water below / She had a look of worry ’cause the old rock quarry was a place where no one should go / Her eyes started sobbing and her head was throbbing as her mind thought of ending it all / ’Cause losing her man was more than she could stand and now she was taking the fall

CHORUS: There’s a place in the heart where passion rules and the rest of you is a slave / Till one more kiss is the only thing you crave / The night was a cloak and his eyes the dagger that cut right to her soul / Now that place in her heart is a big ol’ empty hole

It was last November she would always remember when he came into her life/ Saying sweet words and kissing, all the things she was missing, but not one about his wife / Using all his charms he took her in his arms and looked into her face / With her head in a spin she let him in to that cold and empty place

CHORUS

A springtime breeze moved through the leaves as the tears fell from her eyes / It seemed so confusing to care about losing someone so full of lies / She thought no one could find her but he walked up behind her and softly called her name / She forgot all the rest and with her face at his chest once more she’ll play his game

CHORUS Yeah that place in her heart must be an empty hole

As Long As We Believe

Warm lips and a gentle smile / Golden hair and those loving eyes / A soft kiss in the pale moonlight, and hold her all night long

She whispers something soft and low / Even more with her eyes aglow / But just when it feels just right, I open my eyes and she’s gone

CHORUS: She belongs to another man / We get together whenever we can / She knows I’m her biggest fan, I wear it on my sleeve

But there’s a wall that we cannot climb / A secret bridge that we’ll never find / But our hearts they do not mind, as long as we believe

I see her more when we’re apart / All I do is look in my heart / And whenever she’s really there, it’s better than my dreams

CHORUS

We believe in love that never doubts / We believe there’s blue above the clouds / But you can’t pick every flower and love’s finest hour, can come and go while you’re apart

There’s a wall that we cannot climb / A secret bridge that we’ll never find / But our hearts they do not mind / As long as we believe

Fire It Up

They threw him a party when he turned sixteen / But all that he wanted was just one thing / To get to the driveway and behind the wheel / Fire it up and see how it feels / Fire it up and see how it feels

That ’57 Ford that his daddy rebuilt / Three hundred horses and four chrome wheels / He’d drive it on Friday nights the rubber would squeal / He’d fire it up and see how it feels

CHORUS 1: Now he’s driving his mama insane / ’Cause just like his daddy he’s in the fast lane / He was born behind the wheel / Fire it up and see how it feels

Three years later he’s making the rounds / On those ol’ dirt tracks on the outskirts of towns / With his new bride watching from the infield, he’d fire it up and see how it feels

CHORUS 2: Now he’s driving his woman insane / ’Cause just like his daddy he’s in the fast lane / He was born behind the wheel / Fire it up and see how it feels From the likes of Junior Johnson to that awesome #3 / He followed every driver, that’s as good as he would be / He says strapping in behind the wheel makes him feel wild and free

Down at Daytona they threw him a bash / He took the checker by avoiding the crash / He held up the trophy it didn’t seem real / To fire it up and see how it feels

CHORUS 3: Now he’s driving the people insane / ’Cause just like Richard Petty he’s in the fast lane / He is born behind the wheel / Fire it up and see how it feels

If you want to know how he feels / Just fire it up and see how… fire it up and see how… Fire it up and see how it feels

In The Moonlight

Here we go trying love again / Backing up where we’ve always been / Trying the same ol’ things that never worked before

Maybe our love is not real love / Maybe it’s in the stars above / For us to walk away or try this just once more

CHORUS: Here we sit in the moonlight darlin’ / Trying hard not to feel this way / But you and me in the moonlight darlin’ / Feeling things that our hearts will never say

I will kiss you and you’ll hold me / Say we’re as close as we can be / But in our heart of hearts we know something’s wrong / We had a love that never quit until the day it really did / Now we’re still searching for a love that’s dead and gone

CHORUS

Oh, oh it’s a beautiful night / But here we sit hand in hand and can’t look eye to eye

CHORUS

In Your Dreams

Well I was fifteen trying to make my way at a brand new school / But because I rode in the rodeo I wasn’t very cool

There was this girl in my homeroom class that gave my heart a stir / Raven hair and big green eyes, I thought I’d talk to her

CHORUS 1: (And she said) In your dreams cowboy / I can’t be seen with you / If you’ll just open your eyes you’d see I’m not right for you

Cause I like lace and satin, and you wear those old jeans / But have no fear, all’s not lost / You can love me in your dreams

Well I turned pro, went out one night to celebrate first place / When I saw her with all her friends I said it’s good to see your face

CHORUS 2: (And she said) In your dreams cowboy / I can’t go out with you / If you’ll just open your eyes you’d see I’m no good for you / ’Cause I love silk and satin, and you’re still wearing jeans / But have no fear, all’s not lost / You can love me in your dreams

But I never gave up and finally she gave in / For fifty years we’ve been best friends / I hold her hand in the hospital room, my tears rain down / I say how am I supposed to love you if you’re not around

CHORUS 3: (And she said) In your dreams cowboy / I’ll be right there with you / If you’ll just open your eyes you’d see / I’m still in love with you

But soon I’ll be in heaven, and then I’ll have my wings / But have no fear when I’m gone / You can love me in your dreams / I’ll love you in your dreams

It’s A Long Road

Hey girl let’s turn around we’re on the wrong road / With all this love and all these dreams it’s a big load / So let’s make sure what we’re headed for / ‘Cause it’s a long road

You say what this love needs is a diamond / I agree but there has to be perfect timing / So let’s go slow until we know / ‘Cause it’s a long road

CHORUS: I’m not saying we can’t spend our lives together / We both have forever on our mind / The one word I would never say is “never” / But you can’t pick corn before it grows / And love is the same way

Oh it’s great to be in love / To lie here ‘neath the stars above / But someday when we’re looking back / Will we say we stayed on track / Or will our story end up with regret

Once upon a time in an old world / My grandpa’s grandpa he met a young girl / Their hearts were true and their love grew / ’Cause they took the long road

CHORUS

Hey girl let’s turn around we’re on the wrong road / With all this love and all these dreams it’s a big load / So let’s make sure what we’re headed for / ’Cause it’s a long road

Melinda Mae

CHORUS: Oh Melinda / Melinda Mae what do I do / You got my heart beating / You got my eyes seeing / You and only you

Oh Melinda / Melinda Mae say you’ll be mine / Not for tonight or even tomorrow / But until the end of our time

I tried to live without you / I tried hard to forget you / When the plans we made before weren’t right

I’m sorry if I hurt you / The sun won’t shine without you / And I feel your sun warming me tonight

CHORUS

The way you smile, the way we laugh / I got you now won’t give you back / Can’t you see that I’m in love

Your blue eyes look right through me /Well girl what you do to me / And I just want to thank the stars above

CHORUS

Not for tonight or even tomorrow but until the end of time

Muddy River

I was dreaming ’bout her love / Thoughts I’m thinking of / Like the paddlewheel turning / It keeps me moving on

Hazy sunshine on my mind / Takes me back to another time / When the living was easy / And the river kept rolling on

CHORUS: Mississippi I’m at your side / But she is gone and I’m out of my mind / She couldn’t live with my jealous bone / Now this broken heart and me are all alone

Muddy river deep and wide / Tennessee on the other side / That’s where you’ll find her / Nashville’s singing her song

With the sun sinking at my back / The moon rising in the black / Of a lonely evening / And the river keeps rolling on

CHORUS

When the one you love leaves you cold / And you’ve got no one to hold / What can you do / Like the river you move on

I was dreaming ’bout her love / Muddy river deep and wide

Something Big (The George Strait Song)

Hey mister deejay play a good song / Been trying to get through all night long / ’Cause I need some inspiration to call her up

If you could play something by George Strait / Any longer it might be too late / ’Cause I know she’s getting calls from other guys

CHORUS 1: I Cross My Heart would be the best / Then my fingers could do the rest / ’Cause this might be the start of something big

Hey lead singer sing a good tune / You know something we could dance to / ’Cause I need some inspiration to ask her up

If you could sing something by George Strait / Any longer it might be too later / ’Cause I know she’s being asked by other guys

CHORUS 2: You know The Chair would be the best / Then my boots could do the rest / ’Cause this might be the start of something big

CHORUS 3: Yeah Baby Blue is a great song / But please don’t wait too long / ’Cause this might be the start of something… / Help me reach the heart of someone / This might be the start of something big

Those Aren’t Tears (In My Eyes)

CHORUS: Those aren’t tears in my eyes / ’Cause a grown man never cries / There must be something falling from the skies

Yeah I know she is gone / But I have moved on / Never fear those aren’t tears in my eyes

I don’t know what you mean I’m looking lonely / When you see me out walking alone

And if my head is down / And I’m wearing a frown / It only means she won’t pick up the phone

CHORUS

Tomorrow you’ll find someone better / Someone who fits your point of view / You seem so concerned / But there’s one thing I have learned / The evening rain turns into morning dew

CHORUS

Never fear those aren’t tears in my eyes

Travelin’ Bone

Rode home from Dallas in the back of a pickup truck / Had my thumb stuck in the air / Guess I found a little luck

But when that boy dropped me on the outskirts of my town / I tried my best to walk on home but I turned right back around

CHORUS: I got a travelin’ bone, got to move on / Get me to another town / Restless and ready, not too steady / And never too long around

If you think you see me, but maybe you’re not sure / It’s just my travelin’ bone you can pick out of the blur / ’Cause I got a travelin’ bone, got to move on

I had a woman, finest girl I’ve ever known / She held on to me, always telling me to “come on home”

But after a few days of resting in her arms / I was back on the highway / Passing truckers signs and farms

CHORUS

A travelin’ bone, got to move on

How I got this way I’ll never know / But papa used to tell me “why stay when you can go”

CHORUS

A travelin’ bone, got to move on / A travelin’ bone, got to move on / Yeah I got a travelin’ bone and I’m moving on

Here I go

Two Lonesome Hearts

Betty wiped tables since she was a girl / From Longview to Lubbock that was her world / Jimmy herded cattle on his buckskin horse / Since he was thirteen that was his only course

CHORUS: They were two lonesome hearts, riding on the wind / Blowing like tumbleweeds, hurting like sin / Two lonesome hearts / That’s a big space to fill / Wishing they would / Wondering if they will (Knowing they never will)

He never dropped roots and neither had she / That ol’ Texas highway was as far as they could see / When you live that way love don’t last long / One day you got it the next day you’re gone

CHORUS

Jimmy met Betty at a roadside bar / They talked for hours out in Betty’s car / So much to say but so little said / Then the wind picked up and blew ’em their separate ways

Out on the highway in between towns / It’s easy to run with your wheels spinning ‘round / But inside the heart there’s no guarantee / That if you break loose you will ever be free

CHORUS

Two lonesome hearts / Two lonesome hearts

Until Our Dying Day

How’d you get so far away / I think about you night and day / A thousand miles can’t break the bond / know our love will go on / Until our dying day

’Cause that’s the thought that pulls me through / That you love me and I love you / And though we are apart right now / We have made a solemn vow / That we will one day say I do

CHORUS: Until our dying day / I will love you in every way / We’ll share our dreams and share our hearts / We will never be apart / We’ll face the hard times come what may / Until our dying day

Do you recall when we were young / All the little things we’ve done / Have now grown to something big / With a lifetime left to give / Until our dying day CHORUS

Repeat CHORUS

I know it will not be long / You’ll be right here in my arms / Until our dying day
