"I've Always Loved You"

"I've Always Loved You"


I don't know how to explain it
But I know the words will hardly do
Miracles, signs, and wonders aren't enough for me to prove to you

But don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
And though you turn away, I tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will

Greater love has not a man than the one who gives his life to prove
That he would do anything
And that's what I'm gonna do for you

But don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
And though you turn away, I tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will

But don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
And though you turn away, I tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you...

Don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
And though you turn away, I tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will

"If You're Not In Love"

"If You're Not In Love"


I'm tryin' not to panic, I'm gettin' all romantic
Gettin' soft with everything I say and do.
I'm talkin' hours on the phone, puttin' on that sweet cologne
I'm even puttin' down the toilet seat for you.

Aw, wait a minute, it gets worse.
I found myself holdin' your purse, standin' outside that bra and panty store.
My boss's wife walked by, she spotted me and told me hi
And I knew then, I was in for it for sure.

Now all the boys down at the shop know and they sure do find it funny.
They say you've changed my ways and that you're spending all my money, honey.

[Chorus:]
If you're not in love,
If you're not in love,
If you're not in love,
Aw, if you're not in love,
Then I'm in a lot of trouble.

I got this lump in my throat, then I sold my boat
So I could buy this diamond ring for you.
Now I'm hopin' and I'm wishin' that since I can't go fishin',
You won't make me sell my golf clubs, too.

The boys down at the shop know and they laugh until I cry
I told 'em, if I mess this up, my momma's gonna tan my hide.

[Chorus]

I gave up that can of Snuff, no more NASCAR on TV.
Honey, if that ain't enough, this may be the death of me.

[Chorus x2]

"In Harm's Way"

"In Harm's Way"


Like that old Titanic
Running full steam ahead
You fogged up my mind
With love words you said
I could not see the danger
I got myself in
Till my ship was sinking
And I couldn't swim

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way
I couldn't see the truth
Till it was in my face
If I'd seen it coming
I could have turned away
I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

Now the door went under
In an ocean of regret
With no hope of rescue
From love I can't forget
I never knew just what hit me
To far gone to say
I never knew my heart
Was in harm's way

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way
I couldn't see the truth
Till it was in my face
If I'd seen it coming
I could have turned away
I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way
I couldn't see the truth
Till it was in my face
If I'd seen it coming
I could have turned away
I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

"July In Cheyenne (Song For Lane's Momma)"

"July In Cheyenne (Song For Lane's Momma)"


In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
They had to carry away that brave young man
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

Lookin' back it doesn't seem so long ago
He was bigger than life, God rest his soul
Why he died that day is hard to understand
Right there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

[Chorus:]
So tip your hat to the cowboy every once in a while
And take time to remember that cowboy's smile
A little part of every heart of every rodeo fan
Died there in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

No buckles on a shelf collecting dust
Still his memory shines inside of all of us
Some miss their hero, some miss their friend
His mom and daddy long to see their little boy again

[Chorus]

In the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne
They had to carry away that brave young man
If you're washed in the blood someday you'll see him again
But it won't be in the rain and the mud in July in Cheyenne

"Just A Call"

"Just A Call"


While he's out running around with the boys at the bar downtown
His sweetheart sits at home all alone and she's waiting by the telephone
But he'll spend his quarter somewhere else
Well she's done what a good girl should but she's done all she could
So she packs her bags up for the next plain going home and he's crying by the telephone
But she'll spend her quarter somewhere else

[CHORUS:]
And just a call to tell her that you love her
That is all she really ever wanted to hear
And it ain't asking much to tell her that you miss her
Just a call and that's all and she'd still be here
He spends a lot of time on the road breaking even with the rodeo
He knows he should call her but he's barely got enough and making ends meet is tough
So he'll spend his quarter somewhere else

[CHORUS]

[Instrumental Break]

[CHORUS]

She loves a guitar man who gave his heart to a five-piece band
He sings love songs underneath the neon lights while she alone tonight
Dreaming someday he'll live the songs he sings
Dreaming someday I'll live the songs I sing

"Kentucky Coal Miner's Prayer"

"Kentucky Coal Miner's Prayer"


Deep in the mountain of Harlan County
Employed by the Cumberland coal company
The pay is short, the days are long
But our labor union laws are coming on strong
So I drink this whiskey for my throat

Wear my hard hat and weathered coat
Early every morning I stand in line
Waiting to work these Kentucky coal mines

We enter the shaft around five thirty
With two dozen hands, cold, callused and dirty
We'll dig through a million tons of rock and clay
And we'll still be digging at the end of the day
Down on our knees we confess our sins
And pray that the roof above don't cave in

So bless our hearts and save or souls
And the air we breathe down in the devil's hole
Just last week when the the ceiling fell
The explosion trapped us in the depths of hell

The weight of the earth took poor Tucker's life
Leaving behind a hungry baby and wife
We dug out with our shovels and picks
But soon enough the black lung disease will make us sick

So bless our hearts and save or souls
And the air we breathe down in the devil's hole
I work deep in the mountains of eastern Kentucky

I know if I leave Harlan alive I'll be more than lucky
Wish I could go to Texas and plant some cottonseed
But moving takes money and I've got three mouths to feed
So I drink this whiskey for my throat
Wear my hard hat and weathered coat
Early every morning I stand in line
Waiting to work another Kentucky coal mine

"Leather And Lace"
(with Elizabeth Cook)

"Leather And Lace"
(with Elizabeth Cook)



I love so fragile
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words
Impossible to follow
You’re saying I’m fragile
I try not to be
I search only
For something
I can’t see

I have my own life
And I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won’t be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won’t be walking out the door

Lovers forever
Face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me
My lace

You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I’d never want to leave
Sometimes I’m a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you light my nights
Somehow I’d get by

Lovers forever
Face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me
My lace

Lovers forever
Face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me
My lace
Take from me
My lace
Take from me
My lace

"Let's Lose Some Sleep Tonight"

"Let's Lose Some Sleep Tonight"


I am flat dead on my feet
I have had nothing to eat
I am sick of highways and cold hotels rooms
I have replay there in our soft bed
I am so tired of missing you

So let's turn out the lights
(let's turn out the lights)
And lay here by my side
(lay here by my side)
Give me the lose that I need
Baby let's love some sleep tonight

All these shows that I play
Take me so far away
I know that I have negleated your needs
You have been tested and trialed
Stuck firm by my side
Waiting patiently for the man of your needs

So let's turn out the lights
(let's turn out the lights)
And lay here by my side
(lay here by my side)
Give me the love that I need
Baby let's lose some sleep tonight

Sweetheart one night together
Is not nearly enough
We need the rest of forever making up for lost love

So let's turn out the lights
(let's turn out the lights)
Lay here by my side
(lay here by my side)
Give you the love that you need
Let's lose some sleep tonight
The love that I need
Baby let's lose some sleep tonight

"Lips"

"Lips"


Girl you don’t have to get dolled up, old T-shirt on you, will do just fine.
Besides, you know nothing stays on you too long, once you’re in these arms of mine.
And I’ve seen you pretty in pink, I’ve seen you beautiful in blue.
I have to say, I love the way my lips look on you.

So lay back baby and close your eyes. Let me run my fingers through your hair,
Soft kisses down the side of your neck, and we both know where it goes from there.
Girl even after all these years, lovin you still feels brand new, I just have to say, I love the way my lips look on you.

That cotton dress that you wore tonight looked amazing on you, and that’s for sure.
And not as good as it does right now, lyin there on our bedroom floor.
And I like the way I make you blush, I wanna take you where we’ve never been, I wanna whisper in your ear, I wanna taste your sweet skin

So lay back baby and close your eyes. Let me run my fingers through your hair,
Soft kisses down the side of your neck, and we both know where it goes from there.
Girl even after all these years, lovin you still feels brand new, I just have to say, I love the way my lips look on you.

So lay back baby and close your eyes. Let me run my fingers through your hair,
Soft kisses down the side of your neck, and we both know where it goes from there.
Girl even after all these years, lovin you still feels brand new, I just have to say, I love the way my lips look on you.

I just have to say, I love the way my lips look on you.
