"Moonlight Lounge"

"Moonlight Lounge"



Flattop guitar
Down around the campfire
You can smell that hickory burnin'
Catfish fryin'
Onions got us cryin'
Hush puppies they're a turnin'
Friends and kin comin' down the hill
Trippin' in the ole starlight
Cookin' and kickin' do a little pickin'
Party tonight

Come on down to the Moonlight Lounge
Where the ceilin' is so blue
Where there ain't no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there ain't no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah, we're havin' us a party down in the holler
We call it the Moonlight Lounge

Me and my lady rode in on Sadie
A fourteen hand chestnut mare
A midnight hoot owl, he's screechin' so loud
Kind of puts a chill in the summer air
The bushes are wigglin', somebody's gigglin'
Buck couldn't wait to get a kiss
Jimmy's got the four wheel hooked to the wagon
A hay ride you don't wanna miss

Come on down to the Moonlight Lounge
Where the ceilin' is so blue
Where there ain't no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there ain't no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah, we're havin' us a party down in the holler
We call it the Moonlight Lounge

Won't you come on down to the Moonlight Lounge
Where the ceilin' is so blue
Where there ain't no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there ain't no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah, we're havin' us a party down in the holler
Call it the Moonlight Lounge

Yeah, we're havin' us a party everybody holler
Down at the Moonlight Lounge...

"Mountain Music"

"Mountain Music"


[Spoken:]
"You see that mountain over there? Yeah?
Well, one of these days I'm gonna climb that mountain".

[Chorus:]
Oh, play me some mountain music,
Like grandma and grandpa used to play.
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway.

Drift away like Tom Sawyer, ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn.
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle, daze dreamin' again.

[Chorus:]
Oh, play me some mountain music,
Like grandma and grandpa used to play.
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway.

Swim across the river, just to prove that I'm a man.
Spend the day bein' lazy, just bein' nature's friend.
Climb a long tall hick'ry. Bend it over, skinnin' cats.
Playin' baseball with chert rocks, usin' sawmill slabs for bats.

[Bridge:]
Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart.
Play something with lots of feelin',
'Cause that's where music has to start.

[Chorus:]
Oh, play me some mountain music,
Like grandma and grandpa used to play.
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway, hey hey.

Oh play me mountain music.
Oh play me mountain music.
Oh play me mountain music.
Oh play me mountain music.

"My Girl"

"My Girl"



I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
And when its cold outside girl
I've got the month of May
Oh, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, (my girl my girl) talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song baby
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, (my girl my girl) talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl oooaaa

Hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey

I don't need no money
Fortune or fame
I've got all the riches baby
One man can claim
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way
My girl (my girl my girl) talkin' bout my girl
My girl talkin' 'bout my girl
On a cloudy day with my girl
I've even got the month of May with my girl
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl...

"My Home's In Alabama"

"My Home's In Alabama"



Drinkin' was forbidden
In my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop
On them good ol' Gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms
Just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin'
Playin' guitar late at night.

Had to learn about the ladies;
Too young to understand
Why the young girls fall in love
With the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music,
The girls just turn away
To some other guitar picker
In some other late night place.

Yeah, I held on to my music;
I let the ladies walk away
Took my songs and dreams to Nashville
Then I moved on to L.A.
Up to New York City,
All across the USA
I lost so much of me
But there's enough of me to say, that my..

Home's in Alabama,
No matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama,
Southern born and Southern bred.

What keeps me goin'
I don't really know
Can't be the money
Lord knows I'm always broke
Could it be the satisfaction
Of bein' understood
When the people really love ya
And let you know when it's good

Oh I'll speak my Southern English
Just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie,
Dixie's in the heart of me
And someday when I make it,
When love finds a way
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain
I'll just smile with pride and say, that my

Home's in Alabama,
No matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama,
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred

And my home's in Alabama,
No matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama,
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred
Southern born and southern bred...

"My Love Belongs To You"

"My Love Belongs To You"



My nights belong to the sandman
'Cause I sure like a dream
My morning's belong to the wild-woods
'Cause I like to hear the birds sing
My soul belongs to heaven
My feet belong to my shoes
Oh, but baby my love belongs to you

My thoughts belong on tomorrow
'Cause today is all but gone
My memories belong on yesterday
'Cause I like to recall
My wishes belong upon a star
'Cause I believe they come true
But baby my love belongs to you

My love belongs to you
You and only you
These words are my heart talking
Believe me girl they're true

Oh, my wishes belong upon a star
'Cause I believe they come true
Oh, but my baby you know my love belongs to you
But baby my love belongs to you!...

"Never Be One"

"Never Be One"



Drift off and dream
In your paper-doll world
Play with the presents
From the boys and the girls
Your big day is over
The cake is all gone
We sang you to sleep
With the birthday song.

No, you'll never be one again
The two's are tumbling on in
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world
You'll never be one again.

The toy piano is quiet in the hall
As Kermie the frog
Sits watching it all
Soon your legs will grow
And make the tricycle go
And take you away from us all.

No, you'll never be one again
The two's are tumbling on in
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world
You'll never be one again.

Goodnight Baby
Goodnight Daddy...

"New Year's Eve 1999"

"New Year's Eve 1999"



Baby, let's make a date for a night on the town
How does the turn of the century sound
I guarantee that we'll have a good time
New Year's Eve 1999

Now I know it sounds a bit premature
But I'm askin' you now 'cause I want to be sure
Do you have anything else in mind
New Year's Eve 1999

We'll drink pink champagne from a plastic cup
Dance all night 'til the sun comes up
We'll say it's been a pretty good century
Except for that weekend in '93

Then we'll go home to our warn winter bed
And tuck in the kids with a kiss on the head
And sing one more chorus of Auld Lang Syne
New Year's Eve 1999

I'll be your sweetheart if you'll be mine
New Year's Eve 1999,
New Year's Eve 1999...

"Nothing Comes Closer"

"Nothing Comes Closer"



Well, I've been lucky but to travel this great land
From the mountains of Montana to Sarasota sands
Oh, what I life living my dream
I can say these eyes have seen so many thing.
The moon over Miami, sunset in Frisco Bay
It's all been so beautiful but still I'd have to say.

Nothing comes close to the beauty of your love
Nothing comes close your a site I can't describe
Nothing comes close when you're lyin' by my side
Nothing comes close, oh no
Baby, I've been there, nothing comes close.

I could search forever and never stop
Walk every valley and climb each mountain top
Sail every ocean till the end of my day
But when it'll be over still believe I'd say.

Nothing comes close to the beauty of your love
Nothing comes close your a site I can't describe
Nothing comes close when you're lyin' by my side
Nothing comes close.

Nothing comes close to the beauty of your love
Nothing comes close your a site I can't describe
Nothing comes close when you're lyin' by my side
Nothing comes close, oh no
Baby, I've been there nothing comes close, oh no...

"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"

"O Little Town Of Bethlehem"



O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above they deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

O holy child of Bethlehem descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Immanuel

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on Earth...

"Of Course I'm Alright"

"Of Course I'm Alright"



Why do you ask
Of course I'm alright
I guess I wasn't thinking
I'd run into you tonight
Do I seem surprised
I guess you caught me off guard
Yes I'm really doing fine
No it hasn't been that hard

How 'bout you
Getting on with your life
There's so much to tell you
That I won't even try
My, its good to see you
How long has it been
I must admit I think about you
Every now and then

Like when I open my eyes
When I lay down at night
Every moment ever since
The day you said goodbye
But you'll never know
'Cause I keep it inside
How am I doing without you
Of course I'm alright

Well to tell you the truth
I guess I have felt better
God just look at you,wow
You make it look so easy
I can see it on yout face
Everything we used to be
Is gone without a trace

If you wanna know
Right now I'm sinking fast
Girl you always could see
Right behind this mask
But I won't give it away
Gonna keep it inside
How am I doing without you
Of course I'm alright

If you don't want to know the truth
Of course I'm alright...
