"Old Flame"

"Old Flame"



I saw you starin' at each other
I saw your eyes begin to glow
And I could tell you once were lovers
But you ain't hidin' nothin' that I don't know.

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

You said it ended when he left you
You say your love for me is strong
But those old memories still upset you
Well, I might be a memory before too long.

'Cause there's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer
Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes
That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise
Now that old flame might not be stronger
But it's been burnin' longer...

"Old Man"

"Old Man"



I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road
Late for my plane again
Had to stop for some gas at this country store
That's when I saw the old man

He was kicked back workin' on a big RC
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV
Took him awhile to even notice me
Sittin' there I thought to myself

Old man (Old man) you got one up on me
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
Your satisfied as you can be
Old man (Old man) I guess you got one up on me

Well, he finally strolled over with a big ol' smile
Said "How ya doin, son?"
I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can...
'Cause I'm really in a run."
He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss
If you wanna see what the good life is
Just get out and visit awhile."

Old man (Old man) you got one up on me
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
Your satisfied as you can be
Old man (Old man) I guess you got one up on me

Don't remember just what it was
The old man said to me
But I forgot about catchin' the plane
And opened up the big RC

Old man (Old man) you got one up on me
I'm still lookin' for my shady tree
With your two gas pumps and your color TV
Your satisfied as you can be
Old man (Old man) you got one up on me

Old man
Old man
Old man
Old man
Old man you got one up on me...

"Old Shep"

"Old Shep"



When I was a lad and old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun
We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the old mill pond
When I would've drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there, to the rescue he came
He jumped in and helped pull me out

As, the years passed and rolled, at last he grew old
And his eyesight was fast growing dim.
Then one day the doctor looked at me and said
?I can't do no more for him, Jim?

I went to his side and sat on the ground
And laid his old head on my knee
Well, he was the best friend that I ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see

Old Sheppie he knew, he was going to go
For he reached out and licked at my hand
He looked up at me, just as much as to say
We're parting but you understand

Now old Sheppie is gone where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing for sure
Old Shep has a wonderful home

"Ole' Baugh Road"

"Ole' Baugh Road"



Round Ole Baugh Road it's a great place kids to grow
Some grow up and move away
Most of us decide to stay
Round the ole' Baugh Road

Hard working mom and dad
Gve us things that they never had
I our corner of the world
Romance is slow for the boys and girls
Round the ole' Baugh Road

The neighborhood still looks the same
Just new kids with the same old names
My Baugh Road's in a southern state
Yours may be anywhere, USA
Look around ole' Baugh Road.

I see the kids on Ole' Baugh Road
I see the glory of the future glow
Look to the Heavens and give a shout
Like my daddy did when he started out.
Round, round, round the ole Baugh Road,
Round, round, round,
Round, round, round
Round, round, round,
The Ole' Baugh Road
Round, round, round,
Round, round, round...

"On This Side Of The Moon"

"On This Side Of The Moon"



Some folks looks through a telescope
And dream of flying high above the stars
They say it won't be long
'Til we can haul on a ship to Mars
I'm just a simple man
There's a lot that I don't know
But as long as you're here with me
I just assume stay home

On this side of the moon
Things are going my way
Your love keeps shining through
Even when it rains
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'm happy standing in these shoes
With you here in my life
The world is looking bright
On this side of the moon

Sometines on a clear night
We pulled out a chair in the yard
And I'm always amazed
At the good lord can make so many stars
But I know I'd feel out of place
Longing through the milky ways
All you expect a astronaut
I'd think I'd rather stay

On this side of the moon
Things are going my way
Your love keeps shining through
Even when it rains
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'm happy standing in these shoes
With you here in my life
The world is looking bright
On this side of the moon

"Once Upon A Lifetime"

"Once Upon A Lifetime"



Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the very first time
She was scared and young
And had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand
And a boy became a man
Once upon a lifetime

And once upon a lifetime
You hold the queen of hearts
But if you gamble on a diamond
When the dealing starts
You stand to lose it all
As the cards begins to fall
An the lesson learned is hard
You're only dealt the queen of hearts
Once upon a lifetime

So if your taking chances know the chance you take
A broken hearts a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best thing seldom come along twice

Once upon a lifetime
You know that you've been blessed
When you hold your first born
Tenderly against your chest
The innocent you see
The value of a family
And you feel a special bond
That only comes a long
Once upon a lifetime

So if you taking chances know the chance you take
A broken heart a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fool's of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice

And people only find
A love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime

"One Big Heaven"

"One Big Heaven"



My buddies ask me,
If I would write them a song
That says how we're different,
But how good we all get along

Well, Bob, he's a baptist
And his wife, she's cherokee
And Larry, he's a Lutheran,
And his grand daddy is Cree

Well, Paul, he's Penticostal
And his pastor prays for the Sea
And Rusty's dad is a rabbi
But we go huntin' go fish

Well, Carl, he's a Catholic boy,
And his daddy fought in the war
And Joe's mom is in Lebanon
And he knows he believes in the Law

He believes in one big God
And one big heaven
'cause that's where we all want
To be goin'

Well, daddy played his guitar
In churches all over the south
Momma played piano
And sometimes she'd sing and shout
Sister's sang altogether
And brought the harmony out

And think about, one big God
And one big heaven
'cause that's where we all want
To be goin'

Well, me, I'm a believer
And I do believe
In all God's children
As far as I can see

Just one big God
And one big heaven
'cause that's where we all want
To be goin'

And one big God
And one big heaven,

Just save a little space... for me.

"One Life"

"One Life"




A man and wife had prayed for years for children
Were losing faith and close to giving up
Then a young girl with no way to keep her baby
Laid in their arms a tiny gift of love

It only takes one life to make a miracle
One tiny ray of hope to light up the dark
It only takes one life to make a miracle
One honest prayer coming from the heart

A small coal mining town in West Virginia
Prayed as they kept vigil day and night
Saddened by the twelve who lives were taken
But also thankful one made it out alive

It only takes one life to make a miracle
One tiny ray of hope to light up the dark
It only takes one life to make a miracle
One honest prayer coming from the heart

Two thousand years ago the world lay waiting
For the Savior they were told would come
Then on that winter night there in a manger
God blessed the world with his one and only son

It only takes one life to make a miracle
One tiny ray of hope to light up the dark
It only takes one life to make a miracle
One honest prayer coming from the heart

It takes one honest prayer coming from your heart

"One More Time Around"

"One More Time Around"



Well it's concrete and asphalt
Drivin' into work every day
This livin' can't be healthy
But the Lord knows I got bills to pay
And there's others here just like me
They got families to feed

One more time around (time around)
On the job is where I'll be found
One more time around (time around)
Earn my pay and hear that whistle sound

Well thunder and lighting
It don't matter, nothin' stops the clock
The radios are blastin'
Mine is playin' country some play rock
The rhythm and blues of the workplace
We take pride in everything we make

One more time around (time around)
On the job is where I'll be found
One more time around (time around)
Earn my pay and hear that whistle sound

Five o'clock is comin'
We're all racin' down the same track
Life is a circle
Sometimes we meet ourselves comin' back

Well one more time around (time around)
On the job is where I'll be found
One more time around (time around)
Earn my pay and hear that whistle sound

One more time around (time around)
Time around, time around
Time around, time around
Time around
Time around...

"Pass It On Down"

"Pass It On Down"



We live in the land of plenty
But many things aren't plenty anymore
Like the water from our sink
They say its not safe to drink
You gotta go and buy it at the store
Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
Look what's washing on the beach
And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas
We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

There's a place where I live called the Canyon
Where Daddy taught me to swim
And that water, it's so pure
And I'm gonna make sure
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him

Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty
When we look into the eyes of our kids
'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back
They'll have to pay for all we did

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

So let's leave some blue up above us (above us)
Let's leave some green on the ground (on the ground)
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

So let's leave some blue up above us (above us)
Let's leave some green on the ground (on the ground)
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

Leave it and pass it on down...
