"Pete's Music City"

"Pete's Music City"



Well...
Northern Georgia, highway 41,
Beside the carpet mill and the gas station
There was a music store, slash radio shack
With the sound of dreamers jamming in the back

Well we rocked all night and we rolled all day
We never bought nothin' but we sure did play
The music was loud and the girls were pretty
There was always some magic down at Pete's Music City

We had electric guitars just a gatherin' dust
And a chrome mic stand with just a little bit of rust
And a couple of amps with the volume on 10
When the last bell rings that's when the music begins

And we rocked all night...
And we rolled all day
We never bought nothin' but we sure did play
The music was loud and the girls were pretty
There was always some magic down at Pete's music city

Well the years have been long, and they ain't been kind
And they say all that's left is the old faded sign
But the music's still ringing loud in my heart
Down at Pete's Music City where I got my start

Well we rocked all night...
And we rolled all day
We never bought nothin' but we sure did play
The music was loud and the girls were pretty
There was always some magic down at Pete's Music City
We rocked all night and we rolled all day
We never bought nothin' but we sure did play
The music was loud and the girls were pretty
There was always some magic down at Pete's Music City

"Pictures And Memories"

"Pictures And Memories"



There's a teardrop
Falling slowly from my eyes tonight
As I think of your two arms
That used to hold me so very tight
But you're gone now
And girl I'm alone and blue
With just these pictures and memories of you

Pictures and memories
Of a love warm and true
Pictures of love we shared
And the memories of you
But your pictures can't heal my chest
Of this hurt deep inside
Pictures and memories
I feel like crying tonight

I may be crazy but you know sometimes
I can almost feel your touch
Those who say I should be over you
Well I guess they just never loved as much
I'd put your pictures where I can't see them
But I'd still see them in my mind
Just like your memories,
They're right here with me all the time

Pictures and memories
Of a love warm and true
Pictures of love we shared
And the memories of you
But your pictures can't heal my chest
Of this hurt deep inside
Pictures and memories
That's why I'm crying tonight

Pictures and memories
I feel like dying tonight...

"Pony Express"

"Pony Express"



He came in and sit down at the end of the bar
His old rawhide shirt full of dust
He asked for a glass and he ordered rye whiskey
He talked to himself and he cussed

He left Sacramento early that morning
With a sackful of mail for St. Joe
Had to outrun some outlaws outside Carson City
By riding where they wouldn't go

He said to me,"Mister, this long riding's hell
But I guess it's got to be done
Otherwise how would you get all your mail
If the pony express couldn't run?"

I said, "I hear you, mister and you do your job well
But I hear it won't be for long
They'll be sending the mail by the wire and the rail
And your pony and you will be gone

He came in and sit down at the end of the bar
His coveralls covered with dust
He said Jesse James had just held up his train
He talked to himself and he cussed

He pulled out of St. Joe early that morning
With the mail and the union payroll
Had to stop for a rockslide outside Jackson City
And Jesse made off with the gold

He said to me, "Mister, this railroading's hell
But I guess it's got to be done
Otherwise how would you get all you mail
If that old iron horse couldn't run?"

I said, "I hear you,mister and you do your job well
But I hear it won't be for long
They'll be sending the mail without you or the rail
'Cause they say man will fly before long."

He came in and sit down at the end of the bar
His face looked all haggard and grey
He ordered a drink and said, "Make it a double
Boys it's sure been a long day."

He pulled out of Denver early that morning
He said, "You'll never guess where I've been
A highjacker needed a lift down to Cuba
So your mail will be late getting in."

I said, "I hear you, mister and you do your job well
But you know it ain't been that long
They were doing it best with the pony express
Before you and your friends came along."

"Precious Memories"

"Precious Memories"



Precious memories, flood my soul

Precious memories, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
And the sacred past unfolds

Precious father and loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memories appear

As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul

In the stillness of the midnight
Echo's from the past I hear
Old time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred seems unfold

Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred seems unfold

"Reckless"

"Reckless"



Let's Roll the windows down turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
Love is reckless, lets get reckless tonight

There ain't nothing out here but a big, tall Texas sky
There's a red sun painted across the pond tonight
Well your daddy's got plans for you
And mine thinks I'm at school
They say it's reckless to chase a dream
But this town's got nothing for you and me

Let's roll the windows down turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside
Baby we're gettin' out of here
I could care less where it leads us
Love is reckless, let's get reckless tonight

Let's take my Thunderbird and leave tonight
I'll keep the pedal to the floor until we see morning light
They can't live our lives for us
If we let 'em we'll lose our love
And love dies hard in this Texas sun
I'd rather be reckless and on the run

Let's roll the windows down turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside
Baby we're gettin' out of here
I could care less where it leads us
Love is reckless, let's get reckless tonight

When you're crazy in love you gotta take a chance
Burn the bridge and don't look back

Turn the radio up roll the windows down
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside
Baby we're gettin' out of here

Roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Love is reckless, let's get reckless
Let's get reckless...

"Red River"

"Red River"



I remember campin' all night
Down by the river's edge
Skinny dippin' in the bright moonlight
Divin' off a ledge
Skippin' rocks across the water
Fishin' on an old trout line
Giggin' frogs 'til the early mornin'
Smokin' dried crossvine.

Take me back down where the Red River rolls
Send me back to Louisianne
Take me back down where the white water flows
To the Cajun promised land
Give me my line and my old pirogue
Get me back as fast as you can
Take me back home where the Red River rolls
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.

Floatin' down the river on a patched up inner tube
Eatin' dinner on the ground
Made of fresh caught catfish stew
I layed awake at night
When I hear a wildcat scream
Tellin' tales by campfire light
About the girls in our dreams.

Take me back home where the Red River rolls
Send me back to Louisianne
Take me back down where the white water flows
To the Cajun promised land
Give me my line and my old pirogue
Get me back as fast as you can
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.

Take me back home where the Red River rolls
Send me back to Louisianne
Take me back down where the white water flows
To the Cajun promised land
Give me my line and my old pirogue
Get me back as fast as you can
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.
Take me back home where the Red River rolls.

"Reinvent The Wheel"

"Reinvent The Wheel"



Seems like everywhere I look
There's another version of the same old book
And someone telling me it's new
Every song on my radio
Sounds like one I heard a long time ago
Different windows, same old view

Yeah
Uh-huh

All the clothes in the magazines
I could swear I've already seen
In my closet years ago
Hairstyles and super-malls
You've seen one well you've seen them all
Tell me something I don't know

But in a world that's mostly imitation
It's hard to recognize the real
It takes a brave heart to resist temptation
To take the easy way and reinvent the wheel

Yeah

A friend of mine finds Mr. Right
Every other Friday night
At a smoky singles bar
And she can't seem to understand
Why life don't go like she plans
She goes on wishing on a star

Yeah

But in a world that's mostly imitation
It's hard to recognize the real
It takes a brave heart to resist temptation
To take the easy way and reinvent the wheel

But in a world that's mostly imitation
It's hard to recognize the real
It takes a brave heart to resist temptation
To take the easy way and reinvent the wheel

Reinvent the wheel
Reinvent the wheel...

"Richard Petty Fans"

"Richard Petty Fans"



Before he ever made the headlines
Or won the Winston cup
He survived his share of crashes
But he never did give up

The tracks in Carolina
Where all the Pettys ran
What kept the motors running
Way back then, were you the fans

He won seven at Daytona
It was STP and forty-three
King Richard is a legend
And he's a hero to me

When he wins he waves his hand
To the folks up in the stand
And he is dedicated
To all the Nascar fans

Well, I wish this year could last forever
But the race must go on
He'll hang up his helmet
But he never will be gone

I know he'll drive forever
In the heart of every fan
And he will be remembered
As the best that's ever been...

"Ride The Train"

"Ride The Train"



The Orange Blossom Special, the Walbash Cannonball
The Chattanooga Choo-Choo this hobo's seen them all
I've watched the Santa Fe layer smoke against the sky
And listened to old Number Three rolling through the night.

Ride the train, ride the train
Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleeping in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train.

The Southern Pacific, the Overland Express
Up ahead the coal cars with West Virginia's best
And Oklahoma's Frisco the biggest one of all
I've listened to the Silver Speed's lonesome midnight call.

Ride the train, ride the train
Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleeping in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train.

Ride the train, ride the train (ride the train)
Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleeping in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train.

Ride the train, ride the train
Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleeping in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train.

Trains.

Ride the train, ride the train
Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleeping in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, ride the train...

"Right Where I Am"

"Right Where I Am"



Subways runnin' under the city
Condos reachin' to the sky
Each to his own, but I feel at home
Standing on this mountain high

And right where I am is where I wanna be
It's all I want, it's all I need
Forever in your arms it's alright with me
'Cause right where I am's where I wanna be

Talk on the cell phone, checkin' her e-mail
The fax is a way of life
She's shoppin' at home with QVC on
And surfin' on-line

And right where I am is where I wanna be
It's all I want, it's all I need
Forever in your arms it's alright with me
'Cause right where I am's where I wanna be

Satellite feed out in the country
Oh, what a way of life
Turn off the TV
Shut down the pc
And click off the world tonight

And right where I am is where I wanna be
It's all I want, it's all I need
Forever in your arms it's alright with me
'Cause right where I am's where I wanna be

Right where I am, where I wanna be

Subways runnin' under the city

Satellite feed out in the country

Each to his own I feel at home
Standin' on this mountain high
Right where I am, where I wanna be

Right where I am, where I wanna be...
