Skip Like a Stone   |   Daydream Cafe   |   Stranger Passing Through   |   Work's Done
Country Girl |  She's Built for Comfort   |   Looks Like Rain   |   Two Country Cowboys

Curtains of Night  |   Driftin   |   Two White Horses |    Ride with the Tide  
Only Boy in Town   |   Home|    Always   |   Down 191   |   Highlonesome   |   Laredo

FREE AS A BIRD, OUT ON MY OWN

RIDING LIKE THE WIND SKIP LIKE A STONE

FREE TO SAIL AWAY AND BE A WAVE UPON THE OCEAN

TIME PASSES BY, NEXT THING YOU KNOW

YOU TAKE A LOOK AROUND ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GO

NOTHIN'S IN THE WAY I COULD SKIP LIKE A STONE

PUT AWAY MY SORROW

PACK UP MY BAGS AND LEAVE BY DAWN

IF I'M NOT HERE TOMORROW WILL ANYBODY KNOW I'M GONE

SAME DIRTY WALLS, DAY AFTER DAY

AIN'T NOBODY HERE IS BEGGING ME TO STAY

I SHOULD TRAVEL ON, I SHOULD SKIP LIKE A STONE

PUT AWAY MY SORROW, PACK UP MY BAGS AND LEAVE BY DAWN

IF I'M NOT HERE TOMORROW, WILL ANYBODY KNOW I'M GONE

LEAVIN BEHIND, ALL THAT I OWN

TRADIN IN MY DREAMS, FOR THE LONESOME OF THE ROAD

I SHOULD DRIFT AWAY, I COULD SKIP LIKE A STONE

MY OWN CAFE

A SIMPLE TRUCKSTOP OR COFFEE SHOP

NOT TOO OUT OF THE WAY

A HOME TOWN DINER WHERE

THERE'D BE BREAKFAST AND

GOSSIP SERVED ALL DAY

THIS IS MY DREAM - AND WELCOME TO IT

DARLENE'S DAYDREAM CAFE

OPEN FROM SUNRISE TO SET

COFFEE'S JUST A QUARTER

WE GOT A GUY THAT PLAYS PIANO

YOU GET A SONG WITH EVERY ORDER

THERE'S PLENTY ON THE MENU

AND MUSIC IN THE AIR

AT DARLENE'S DAYDREAM CAFE

AND AUTO BODY REPAIR

NOTHIN FABULOUS OR FANCY

JUST A BURGER AND FRIES

BUT I'M KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY

FOR MY STRAWBERRY PIES

NOW IF YOU HAVE TIME TO SIT AND SQUANDER

TO LEAVE YOUR MIND TO DRIFT AND WANDER

COME SEE DARLENE AND DREAM YOUR WORRIES AWAY

COME GET A ROLL AND A SALAD

AND AN OL COUNTRY BALLAD

GIVE US A SHOUT AND COME HANG OUT

AT DARLENE'S DAYDREAM CAFE

IF YOU'RE PRESSED FOR TIME

GO FIND A McDONALDS

AND GET YOU SOME FAST FOOD TO GO

CAUSE ALL THE EATINS AT DARLENES

ARE COOKED UP REAL SLOW

BUT IF THERE'S A SONG YOU WANT TO HEAR

COME SIT A SPELL AND HAVE A BEER

AT DARLENE'S DAYDREAM CAFE

AND AUTO BODY REPAIR

JUST FORGET ABOUT YOUR WORRIES

AND COME LOOK US UP

NO ONE'S EVER IN NO HURRYS

ITS A BOTTOMLESS CUP

GET YOU A HOT FUDGE SUNDAE

ON A SATURDAY NIGHT

AND OIL FOR YOUR CHEVROLET

CATCH UP ON THE LATEST NEWS

AND HEAR THE GREATEST BLUES

GIVE US A SHOUT AND COME HANG OUT

AT DARLENE'S DAYDREAM CAFE

WHERE WE DAYDREAM OUR WORRIES AWAY

AND NOTHIN I GOT TO DO

THERE'S NOWHERE THAT I GOTTA BE

AND NOTHIN I GOT TO DO

THERE'S NO ONE HERE THAT KNOWS ME

I'M JUST A STRANGER PASSING THRU

DON'T ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS

AND I WONT TELL YOU ANY LIES

DON'T ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS

AND I WONT HAVE ANY REASON TO

TELL YOU ANY LITTLE DIRTY WHITE LIES

I DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

I'M JUST A STRANGER PASSING BY

I CAME IN WITH THE WIND, BY DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT

I'LL LEAVE HERE ON A CLOUD, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

I'M CHASING DOWN THE MOON, I'LL DISAPPEAR BEFORE THE DAWN

PLAY A LITTLE MUSIC THEN I MUST BE MOVIN ON

I'M JUST A STRANGER IN THE NIGHT, I COME AND GO AND THEN I'M GONE

I'M A LONESOME WANDERIN COWBOY AND I COULD NEVER STAY TRUE

I'M A LONESOME WANDERIN COWBOY AND I COULD NEVER STAY TRUE

SO DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH ME, I'M JUST A STRANGER PASSING THRU

NOW ASHES RETURN TO ASHES, AND DUST GOES BACK TO DUST

SO ITS BACK TO THE LONELY ROAD, HITCH A BOXCAR OR A BUS

THERE'S SNAKES UP IN THE MOUNTAIN AND EELS IN THE SEA OF BLUE

SO I'LL SAY HELLO AND THEN I'VE GOT TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOU

THERE'S NO ONE HERE THAT KNOWS ME

I'M JUST A STRANGER PASSING THRU

AS I WALKED OUT ON LAREDO ONE DAY

I SPIED A POOR COWBOY WRAPPED UP IN WHITE LINEN

WRAPPED UP IN WHITE LINEN AS COLD AS THE CLAY

SAYS ONE I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING IF YOU WILL LISTEN PLEASE

THIS AIN'T MY HOME I'M NOT FROM HERE AT ALL

BUT I'M GONNA SEE MY MOTHER WHEN THE WORKS DONE THIS FALL

NOW WHEN I LEFT HOME BOYS MY MOTHER SHE CRIED

BEGGED ME TO STAY SAFE AND CLOSE BY HER SIDE

MY MOTHER'S HEART IS BREAKING FOR ME THAT'S ALL

AND WITH GOD'S HELP I'LL SEE HER WHEN THE WORK'S DONE THIS FALL

WHEN THE ROUND UP IS OVER

AND AFTER THE SHIPPING IS DONE

I'M GOING RIGHT, STRAIGHT HOME BOYS

BEFORE ALL MY MONEY IS GONE

THAT VERY NIGHT THIS COWBOY WENT OUT TO STAND GUARD

THE NIGHT WAS DARK AND CLOUDY AND STORMING VERY HARD

THE CATTLE THEY GOT FRIGHTENED AND RUSHED IN STAMPEDE

THE COWBOY TRIED TO HEAD THEM RIDING ON AT FULL SPEED

WHILE RIDING IN THE DARKNESS SO LOUD DID HE SHOUT

TRYING TO TURN THE CATTLE ABOUT

HIS SADDLE HORSE DID STUMBLE AND ON HIM DID FALL

AND HE WON'T SEE HIS MOTHER WHEN THE WORK'S DONE THIS FALL

WHEN THE ROUND UP IS OVER

AND AFTER THE SHIPPING IS DONE

I'M GOING RIGHT, STRAIGHT HOME BOYS

BEFORE ALL MY MONEY IS GONE

BILL YOU TAKE MY SADDLE, GEORGE YOU CAN HAVE MY BED

JACK MAY HAVE MY PISTOL AFTER I'M DEAD

THINK OF ME KINDLY WHEN YOU LOOK ON THEM ALL

AND TAKE THEM WITH YOU WHEN THE WORK'S DONE THIS FALL

DIVIDE UP THE WAGES, THE WAGES I HAVE EARNED

I AM AFRAID MY LAST STEER I HAVE TURNED

I'M GOING HOME I MUST ANSWER THE CALL

AND I WON'T SEE MY MOTHER WHEN THE WORK'S DONE THIS FALL

NO I WON'T SEE MY MOTHER WHEN THE WORK'S DONE THIS FALL

BUT I KNOW HOW TO WORK A SWEATER

I'VE SEEN THOSE GIRLS ON TV

AND I KNOW THEY DON'T LOOK NO BETTER

I AIN'T NO RUNWAY MODEL

DON'T KEEP UP THE LATEST FASHION

BUT WHEN I'M WALKING DOWN THE STREET

I GET A PRETTY GOOD REACTION

I'M JUST A SWEET TALKING, ORDINARY, EASY GOING KIND OF WOMAN

A GUITAR LOVIN, BEER DRINKING, OLD FASHIONED COUNTRY GIRL.

I KNOW FOLKS TALK ABOUT ME

CALL ME A TRAILER PARK DELILAH

THEY CLAIM MY MORALS ARE LOW

CAUSE I WEAR MY SKIRTS A LITTLE HIGHER

NEVER BEEN NO CULTURE VULTURE

DON'T OWN NO PICTURES BY PICASSO

I'D RATHER GO TO THE RODEO

RIDE A HORSE AND SHAKE MY LASSO

OH I'M JUST A FUN LOVIN, MILD-MANNERED, WILD WILD WESTERN WOMAN

AN OUT SPOKEN, SALEM SMOKING, PICKUP DRIVING COUNTRY GIRL

NOW EVEN THO I DON'T APPEAR ON THE COVER

OR CENTER FOLD OF ANY GLAMOR MAGAZINES

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND YOU JUST MIGHT DISCOVER

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR HAS THE KEY TO YOUR DREAMS

OO YEAH OO YEAH

I'M JUST A PLAIN DEALIN, GOD FEARIN, CHURCH GOING SOMETIMES WOMAN

THAT'S RIGHT A FLAG WAVIN, PATRIOTIC, PISTOL PACKIN COUNTRY GIRL

DON'T LIKE TO PAINT UP MY FACE

WITH FALSE EYE LASHES AND LIPSTICK

BUT SOME PEOPLE APPRECIATE

A GAL WHO KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT

DON'T HAVE A TASTE FOR CHAMPAGNE

I'D RATHER DRINK A MARGARITA

I'M NOT REFINED LIKE SUGAR

BUT YOU'LL NEVER FIND A GAL THATS SWEETER

IT MAY BE TRUE MISTER BIG CITY SLICKER

I DON'T HOLD NO DEGREE NO PH.D. IN LIBERAL ARTS

BUT YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IN THE BIG PICTURE

BECAUSE MY WHOLE IS MUCH GREATER THAN THE SUM OF MY PARTS

OO YEAH OO YEAH

DON'T HAVE NO BIG BILLS TO SPEND

BUT THEN AGAIN I DON'T HAVE BIG BILLS TO PAY

JUST A GOOD OL' DOWN HOME COUNTRY BUMPKIN

FROM SMALL TOWN USA

I'M JUST AN AVERAGE BORING, NO BIG DEAL, POTATO PEELIN KINDA WOMAN

AN A.M. RADIO, LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW, JERRY SPRINGER LOVIN KINDA GIRL

OH A SOFT TALKING, HARD WORKING, JACK DANIELS KINDA WOMAN

AN OLD FASHIONED, FULL OF PASSION, ORDINARY COUNTRY GIRL

GIVER HER SOME OIL AND A LITTLE BIT OF GAS

THE SMOOTHEST RIDE YOU'LL EVER KNOW

OOO THAT GIRL CAN GO

SHE'LL GET YOU THERE IN THE MORNING

OR IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR

CUSTOM WHEELS AND A V-8 CAM

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND EIGHT HORSE POWER

I TAKE HER FOR A SPIN EVERY NIGHT

SHE GOES AND GOES I ALWAYS TREAT HER RIGHT

GIVER HER SOME OIL AND A LITTLE BIT OF GAS

SHE'S BUILT FOR COMFORT AND MADE TO LAST

THIRTY-FIVE MILES TO A GALLON

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY

SHE JUST DRIVES ME CRAZY

WITH HER SPORTIN WAYS

I TAKE HER FOR A SPIN EVERY NIGHT

SHE GOES AND GOES I ALWAYS TREAT HER RIGHT

GIVER HER SOME OIL AND A LITTLE BIT OF GAS

SHE'S BUILT FOR COMFORT AND MADE TO LAST

THE OLD MAN IS SNORING

OUT ON THE WESTERN PLAIN

CLOSE THE SHUTTERS AND GET INSIDE

BETTER RUN BETTER HIDE

CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN

IS COMIN IN

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUNSHINE HAS ENDED

IT LOOKS LIKE CLOUDY DAYS AHEAD

YES IT LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE ROUND THE BEND

AND IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN IS COMIN IN

CLOUDS ARE ROLLING ON CROSS THE WESTERN SKY

SOMETHIN'S COMIN FOR SURE

A CHILL IS IN THE AIR AND THE WIND IS RIDIN HIGH

YOU KNOW - THAT IF IT'LL RAIN IT'LL SURELY POUR

AND IT LOOKS LIKE DARK CLOUDS ARE COMIN

IT LOOKS LIKE GRAY SKIES AGAIN

OH IT LOOKS LIKE THE PAIN WILL NEVER END

YES IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN IS COMIN IN

OR WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO SEE

NO ONE TO TELL US WHERE TO GO

WHAT TO WEAR OR WHO TO KNOW

NO ONE TO STOP US RUNNING FREE

TWO COUNTRY BOYS OUT RUNNIN WILD

CONTENT AND HAPPY AS CAN BE

UP ON THEIR HORSES HAVING FUN

AND RIDING OFF INTO THE SUN

NO ONE TO STOP US RUNNING FREE

WE'LL SADDLE UP AND ROAM THE DESERT

LIKE BROTHERS FRANK AND JESSE JAMES

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO

SAY OUR GOOD-BYES AND START ANEW

SOMEWHERE WHERE NO ONE KNOWS OUR NAMES

YOU CANNOT KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW

YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE

BUT I'VE GOT A FEELING IN MY SOUL

THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO ROLL

THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE JUST FOR ME

JUST A PAIR OF

COUNTRIFIED, BONA FIDE

BOWLEGGED OLD TIME COWBOYS

ROAMING IN ROAMING OUT OF A TOWN

TURN AROUND FOR THE TROUBLE STARTS

WE'LL BE SITTING

TALL IN THE SADDLE

PREPARING TO DO BATTLE

GOT A STRAIGHT SIX-SHOOTER

AND A LASSO AND A ROPE

AND A HOPE DEEP IN OUR HEARTS

NO ONE TO TELL US WHERE TO BE

WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO SEE

NO ONE TO TELL US WHERE TO GO

WHAT TO WEAR OR WHO TO KNOW

NO ONE TO STOP US RUNNING FREE

WE'LL RIDE THE RAILS HOP ON A FREIGHT TRAIN

WE'LL GO FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA

AND LATE AT NIGHT WE'LL BUILD A FIRE

AND DO WHATEVER WE DESIRE

TWO COUNTRY COWBOYS BEING FREE

ARE PINNED BACK BY THE STARS

AND THE BEAUTIFUL MOON SWEEPS THE SKY

I'LL REMEMBER YOU LOVE IN MY PRAYERS

WHEN THE CURTAINS OF NIGHT

ARE PINNED BACK BY THE STARS

AND THE DEW DROPS OF HEAV'N KISS THE ROSE

I'LL REMEMBER YOU LOVE IN MY PRAYERS

HAD MY RADIO ON AND THINKING BOUT WHERE I WAS GONNA

SLEEP THE NEXT DAY

I WAS HEADED FOR THE WEST COAST WITH NO PARTICULAR PLACE IN MIND

TRYING MY BEST TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND

I WASN'T ON THE RUN I WAS JUST MOVIN ON FROM A VERY SHORT STAY

I HAD VISITED SOME FRIENDS IN A SMALL TOWN UP IN NEW YORK STATE

I STAYED THERE FOR A FEW DAYS THEN THE TIME CAME TO SAY GOOD-BYE

SO I PACKED MY BAGS AND TOOK OFF IN THE NIGHT

I BEEN DRIFTIN, DRIFTIN DOWN THE HIGHWAY

I BEEN DRIFTIN, TRYING TO FIND MY WAY

I BEEN DRIFTIN, DRIFTIN I BEEN DRIFTIN

AND I DON'T SEE MUCH ON THE NEW HORIZON

AND I CANT LOOK BACK AGAIN

I WAS MAKIN GOOD TIME ON SEVENTY-NINE AND MINDIN MY OWN

I CHECKED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR

OUT OF NOWHERE SAW THREE OR FOUR

COP CARS COMIN ON THEY APPROACHED ME WITH THEIR GUNS DRAWN

I TRIED TO TELL THEM THEY WERE WRONG WHEN THEY

SAID I WAS WANTED FOR A MURDER IN BURLINGTON

THEY WERE DETERMINED TO ARREST ME, IF I MADE THE WRONG MOVE

THEY WOULD HAVE SHOT ME ON SIGHT

I WAS AN INNOCENT MAN, BUT THEY KEPT COMIN TOWARD ME

CONVINCED THEY WERE RIGHT

NOW I COULDN'T LET THEM TAKE ME FOR A CRIME THAT WASN'T MINE

I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL AS THE SHOTS RANG OUT IN THE NIGHT

I BEEN DRIFTIN FOR A LONG TIME

I BEEN DRIFTIN NIGHT AND DAY

LIKE AN EAGLE I GO FLYING AWAY

I CAN GO WHERE I WANT CAUSE I'M WANTED EVERYWHERE

BUT I JUST CAN'T STAY

I BEEN DRIFTIN, DRIFTIN DOWN THE HIGHWAY

I BEEN DRIFTIN, TRYING TO FIND MY WAY

I BEEN DRIFTIN, DRIFTIN I BEEN DRIFTIN

AND I DON'T SEE MUCH ON THE NEW HORIZON

AND I CANT LOOK BACK AGAIN

I BEEN DRIFTIN, DRIFTIN DOWN THE HIGHWAY

I BEEN DRIFTIN, TRYING TO FIND MY WAY

I BEEN DRIFTIN, DRIFTIN I BEEN DRIFTIN

SIDE BY SIDE

TWO WHITE HORSES TWO WHITE HORSES

NOBODY CAN RIDE NONE BUT THE SANCTIFIED

DANIEL WAS A MAN DANIEL WAS A MAN

IN THE LION'S DEN

DANIEL WAS A MAN DANIEL WAS A MAN

IN THE LION'S DEN

THE GOOD LORD PROVED TO BE DANIEL'S FRIEND

EZEKIEL WAS A MAN EZEKIEL WAS A MAN

AND HE WRESTLED WITH SIN

EZEKIEL WAS A MAN EZEKIEL WAS A MAN

AND HE WRESTLED WITH SIN

HEAVEN'S GATE OPENED AND HE ROLLED RIGHT IN

TWO WHITE HORSES TWO WHITE HORSES

SIDE BY SIDE

TWO WHITE HORSES TWO WHITE HORSES

NOBODY CAN RIDE NONE BUT THE SANCTIFIED

ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING

WANTED TO HEAR WHAT I HAD TO SAY

BUT SOMETHING HAS CHANGED

AND THE WAY YOU TREAT ME LATELY ISN'T FAIR

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DON'T CARE

I'VE GOT A FEELING I'LL BE HEADIN OUT THE DOOR

YOU SAY YOU'RE ALWAYS THINKING OF ME

BUT YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE

SO JUST TELL ME THE TRUTH AND DON'T WORRY THAT YOU'LL

LEAVE ME BEHIND

I'M A STRONG-WILLED WOMAN AND WITHOUT YOU I'LL BE DOIN FINE

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY BOY IN TOWN

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY GUY AROUND

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY FISH THAT'S SWIMMIN IN THE SEA

SO IF THERE'S SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT YOU'D RATHER GO

YOU ARE FREE TO LEAVE AND YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

I WON'T BE LONELY

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY BOY IN TOWN

I'VE NOTICED LATELY WHEN YOU'RE LYING NEXT TO ME

YOU SEEM AFRAID TO LET YOUR FEELINGS SHOW

LET YOUR FEELINGS BE FREE

YOU GO RIGHT OFF TO SLEEP

AND YOU NEVER EVEN KISS ME GOOD NIGHT

AND WHEN I ASK YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT ALL WE EVER DO IS FIGHT

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU WHY I'M LEAVIN

I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU ALL THE REASONS WHY

BECAUSE I'M TOUGH ENOUGH TO TAKE IT

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU I CAN MAKE IT

IF ITS TIME FOR ME TO GO I'LL PUT MY

COAT ON AND SAY GOOD-BYE

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY BOY IN TOWN

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY GUY AROUND

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY FISH THAT'S

SWIMMIN IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA

THEY SAY IF YOU LOVE SOMETHIN SET IT FREE

AND IF IT DON'T COME BACK YOU SHOULD LET IT BE

I WON'T BE LONELY

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY BOY FOR ME

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY BOY IN TOWN

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY GUY AROUND

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY JOY THAT I HAVE EVER FOUND

AND IF YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE THEN YOU SHOULDN'T STAY

I CAN GET ALONG IF YOU GO AWAY

I WON'T BE LONELY

YOU AIN'T THE ONLY BOY IN TOWN

NEAR THE BORDER OF MEXICO

I NEVER LIKED MY HOME BUT THERE WASN'T REALLY

ANY OTHER PLACE I COULD GO

I WAS THE SECOND OLDEST CHILD IN A FAMILY OF EIGHT

AN OLDER SISTER AND FOUR LITTLE BOYS

LOOKING BACK AT IT ALL, WHAT I MOSTLY RECALL

WAS THE FUSSIN AND THE FIGHTIN AND THE NOISE

I REMEMBER SO WELL WHEN I HAD TO TELL

MY PARENTS I WAS MOVING AWAY

I SAID THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH CONFUSION HERE

AND THEN I HEARD MY MOTHER SAY

IF SOMEONE AIN'T MAD AT SOMEBODY ELSE

ABOUT SOMETHING THEY SAID OR DONE

AND IF SOMEONE AIN'T FRETTIN BOUT WHAT THEY AIN'T GETTIN

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE VERY MUCH FUN

IF SOMEONE AIN'T JUDGING AND HOLDING A GRUDGE

AND AIN'T NOBODY PICKING A BONE

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FAMILY

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE HOME

I HAD TWO LITTLE BABIES OF MY OWN

AFTER I GOT MARRIED AT SEVENTEEN

I TRIED MY LEVEL BEST TO KEEP THE DEVIL AT REST

AND STAY PEACEFUL AND SERENE

IN SPITE OF ALL THE PLANS AND ALL THE DREAMS I HAD

I COULDN'T RAISE MY CHILDREN RIGHT

INSTEAD OF SHOWING EACH OTHER BROTHERLY LOVE

ALL THE BROTHERS LOVE TO DO IS FIGHT

WE AIN'T A HELLUVA LOT BUT WE'RE ALL WE GOT

AND DEEP DOWN I'M VERY PROUD

OF EVERYBODY IN MY LOVING FAMILY

I JUST WISH THEY WEREN'T SO LOUD

IF SOMEONE AIN'T YELLIN BOUT SOMEBODY TELLIN

SOME HATEFUL HURTFUL JOKES

IF SOMETHING AIN'T BREWING AND SOMETHING AIN'T STEWING

THEN IT JUST WOULDN'T BE MY FOLKS

IF THERE AIN'T BOO-HOO-ING AND SINGING THE BLUES

AND SCREAMING TO BE LEFT ALONE

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FAMILY

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE HOME

AND IF SOMEONE AIN'T SIGHING AND SOMEBODY CRYING

IF SOMEONE DON'T MOPE AND WHINE

IF THERE AIN'T NO SQUAWKING AND LOUD BACK TALKING

THEN THEY AIN'T NO RELATION OF MINE

IF THERE AIN'T NO FUSSING THERE AIN'T NO CUSSIN

IF IT AIN'T A BATTLE ZONE

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FAMILY

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE HOME SWEET HOME

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FAMILY

THEN IT WOULDN'T BE HOME

ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

YOU GOTTA SLIDE  TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF EV'RY ROAD

RIDE WITH THE TIDE AND GO WITH THE FLOW

DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF, PUT YOUR FEARS INSIDE YOUR POCKET

THE MAN WHO'S ROWING THE BOAT REALLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO ROCK IT

DON'T CHOOSE UP SIDES AND DON'T MAKE NO BIG COMMITMENTS

WHEN THERE'S A CHOICE TO MAKE, TAKE THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE

I LEARNED THIS LESSON A LONG TIME AGO

WHEN I WAS SITTING ON MY FATHER'S KNEE

AND I THINK BACK TO THE WORDS OF MY FATHER

WHENEVER SOMETHING BOTHERS ME

SON...YOU GOTTA RIDE WITH THE TIDE AND GO WITH THE FLOW

ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

YOU GOTTA SLIDE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF EV'RY ROAD

RIDE WITH THE TIDE AND GO WITH THE FLOW

WHEN FOLKS COMPLAlN DON'T BE DRAWN INTO THEIR CHATTER

HANG LOW - GO WITH THE CROWD CAUSE IT REALLY DON'T MATTER

PLAY IF YOU WANT TO BUT STAY BESIDE THE SIDELINES

YOU'LL WIN THE GAME IF YOU PLAY INSIDE THE GUIDELINES

STAY CLEAR OF BIG CITY FOLK WHO TRY TO BUST YOUR BUBBLE

AND KEEP YOUR SMALL TOWN TROUBLES SMALL

DON'T BREAK YOUR BONES KEEPIN UP WITH THE JONES-ES

LET THE JONES-ES FIGHT CITY HALL

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS RIDE WITH THE TIDE AND GO WITH THE FLOW

ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

YOU TRY TO SLIDE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF EV'RY ROAD

GOTTA RIDE WITH THE TIDE AND GO WITH THE FLOW

RIDE WITH THE TIDE AND GO WITH THE FLOW

RIDE WITH THE TIDE AND GO WITH THE FLOW

ALWAYS AND FOREVER

DARLING YOU KNOW ITS TRUE

WE WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER

I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU

I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU

NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO OR WHAT YOU DO

YOU KNOW I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU

DEEP IN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW ITS TRUE

I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU

NO MATTER WHERE THE ROAD MAY TAKE YOU

TEN MILLION MILES FROM HERE

I'LL ALWAYS BE RIGHT HERE BESIDE YOU

I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU

ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS

ANYWHERE THE RIVER FLOWS

ANY MOUNTAIN YOU MUST CLIMB

THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY

I'M WITH YOU ON THE JOURNEY

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND UNTIL THE END OF TIME

(I'LL BE LOVIN YOU)

ALWAYS

ALWAYS AND FOREVER

DARLING YOU KNOW ITS TRUE

WE WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER

I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU

I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING YOU
