"I've Loved A Lot More Than I've Hurt"

"I've Loved A Lot More Than I've Hurt"



Well I've spent more money than I've made
And I've grown more whiskers than I've shaved
I've worked harder getting out of work
But I've loved a lot more than I've hurt

I've spilled more whiskey than I've drank
I drove up more gas than was in my tank
I've lost a lot more than my shirt
But I've loved a lot more than I've hurt

Oh I hurt a little now and then
But when you're broke you learn to bend
The bottom line for what its worth
I've loved a lot more than I've hurt

Well I walk a lot more than I ride
And I show a lot more than I hide
I'm sometimes more trouble than I'm worth
But I've loved a lot more than I've hurt

Oh I hurt a little now and then
But when you're broke you learn to bend
The bottom line for what it's worth
I've loved a lot more than I've hurt

Yea the bottom line for what it's worth
I've loved a lot more than I've hurt

"If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again"

"If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again"



How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream
When memory recalls them now and then
And with what rapture sweet my weary heart would beat
If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice as then
So happy I would be
Would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again

She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely
And always walked the shining gospel way
So trusting still his love
I seek that home above
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day

Within the old home place her patient smiling face
Was always spreading comfort hope and cheer
And when she used to sing to her eternal king
It was the songs the angels loved to hear

Her work on earth is done the life crown has been won
And she will be at rest with Him above
And some glad morning she I know will welcome me
To that eternal home of peace and love

If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice as then
So happy I would be
Would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again

If I could hear my mother pray again

Pray again

"If I Could Just See You Now"

"If I Could Just See You Now"



Your love for me is gone
But my love for you lives on
And my memories of you
Will never die.

I can just see you now
The special smile you gave to me
The face I`ll love eternally
I see all the things you do.

Your nearness seems so real to me
As though you really care with me
Can`t believe it`s just a memory
I can just see you now.

Oh, girl if I only could
I wish with all my heart I could
Holding you would feel so good
If I could just see you now.

I can just feel you now
The tender sweetness of your lips
As they brush across my fingertips
I feel the softness on your mind.

So warm beside through the night
Holding you to the morning light
Oh, did you really say goodbye
I can just feel you now.

Oh, girl if I only could
I wish with all my heart I could
Holding you would feel so good
If I could just see you now.

I could just see you now
The special smile you gave to me
The face I`ll love eternally
I see all the things you do...

"If I Had You"

"If I Had You"



If I had you we'd run like gypsies in the wind
We'd be lovers, we'd be friends,
Oh, if I had you.

If I had you, we'd count the stars all one by one
We'd make love 'til they were gone
Oh, if I had you/

'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growin stronger there ain't no control
And there's nothing, no there's nothing, no there's nothing that I wouldn't do
If I had you.

If I had you, we'd sail the 7 seas as one
We'd never say "It can't be done"
No, if I had you.

'Cause you light a fire way down in my soul
The flame keeps growing stronger 'cause there aint no control
And theres nothing, no there's nothing, I know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
If I had you...

"If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do)"

"If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do)"



Oh, I love those Colorado Rockies
And that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
On a California night
Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago
On those windy afternoons
It's a big beautiful country
But I'm never home too soon
If it ain't Dixie, it won't do

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I've had good times
North of the line
I've got a lot of good friends, too
But if it ain't Dixie, it won't do
It won't do

When the leaves turn in New England
I love the chill that's in the air
I've walked the New York City sidewalks
Had a big time in Times Square
But now my wheels are rollin' southward
And heaven's comin' into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That's what I look forward too

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
I've had good times
North of the line
I've got a lot of good friends, too

If it ain't Dixie, it won't do
It won't do

If it ain't Dixie
Oh no, Oh no-whoah

Now my wheels are rollin' southward
And heaven's comin' into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
That's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie, it just won't do
If it ain't Dixie, whoa no

If it ain't Dixie.
If it ain't Dixie, oh yeah
If it ain't Dixie, oh no...

"If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)"

"If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)"



If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, "Cotton-Eyed Joe"!
He said, "We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong
There's just somethin' missin' in your song"

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case
You say y'all all wanna two-step
You say ya wanna doe-si-doe
Well, here's your fiddlin' song before we go

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot but not for "Louisiana Man"
So rosin up that bow for "Faded Love" and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

"In Pictures"

"In Pictures"



I've got her photograph
On a stand by my bed
Two on the mantel
And thousands in my head
I can't believe how fast she's growing
It ain't suppose to be like this
Every time I look at her
I see how much I've missed

I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom hear
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures

I send the money down
I do my best to do my part
But it can't compare
With what I pay with my heart
There's still unanswered questions
That weigh heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why

I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom hear
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures

It takes all I have
To keep the tears inside
What I wouldn't give if
I could turn back time

I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my baby grow
Up in pictures

"In The Garden"

"In The Garden"



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

He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing

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

I'd stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling
But He bids me go through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling

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

And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

"In The Sweet By And By"

"In The Sweet By And By"


There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there.

[Refrain:]
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blessed;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

[Refrain]

To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.

[Refrain]

"Is The Magic Still There"

"Is The Magic Still There"



Is the magic still there whenever I hold you
Do these lips of mine send chills down your spine
Like they used to
Or is it slipping away
Baby come out and say
I'm asking because I care
I just need to know is the magic still there

Oh, I still recall our first time together
Oh, we kissed and we touched
We couldn't get enough of each other
And when we said goonight
Beneath that old porch light
It left us wanting more
But I'm wondering now if time has somehow
Changed what we felt before

Is the magic still there whenever I hold you
Do these lips of mine send chills down your spine
Like they used to
Or is it slipping away
Baby come out and say
I'm asking because I care
I just need to know is the magic still there

Am I still the one that you daydream of
When we turn out the light
Is there fire in the night when we make love
Don't want to take you for granted
So baby I'm askin' only because I care
I just want to know

Is the magic still there whenever I hold you
Do these lips of mine send chills down your spine
Like they used to
Or is it slipping away
Baby come out and say
I'm asking because I care
I just need to know is the magic still there

Is the magic still there
Is the magic still there...
