"Starting Tonight"

"Starting Tonight"



If I could design forever
I'd put you and me together each night
Together each night
The best I can do is promise
I'll love you true and honest and right
I'll love you right

Starting tonight and from now on
I will be yours and yours alone
Dependable and strong
A rock by your side
I'll be beside you through the storm
You'll have a fire to keep you warm
Not just for now but from now on
Starting tonight

If a man ever loved a woman
Then surely this is the moment for me
The moment for me
I've never known a feeling
So deep so real as being with you
As being with you

Starting tonight and from now on
I will be yours and yours alone
Dependable and strong
A rock by your side
I'll be beside you through the storm
You'll have a fire to keep you warm
Not just for now but from now on
Starting tonight...

"Still Goin' Strong"

"Still Goin' Strong"



Through the years,
We've had our ups and downs.
Ain't been a block
We haven't been around.
We've been one step up,
And two steps back,
But our love's gotten
Right back on track.

We're still goin' strong,
Like a freight train
Burning on a midnight run.
We're rolling right along,
Still goin' strong.

In tryin' times,
When push came down to shove,
We'ld pull together,
And show what we're made of.
With a lot of love,
And a little faith,
We moved every mountain
In our way.

We're still goin' strong,
With a fire thats hotter
Than the deset sun.
We're still turnin' on,
Still goin' strong.

It's still as good
As it's ever been.
Our love's just gettin'
It's second wind.

We're still goin' strong,
Two hearts poundin'
Like a rock and roll drum,
Lovin' all night long,
Still goin' strong.

We're still goin' strong,
Like a freight train
Burning on a midnight run.
We're rolling right along,
Still goin' strong.

Still goin' strong,
Goin' strong.

Still goin' strong,
Goin' strong.

Still goin' strong,
Goin' strong...

"Sunday Drive"

"Sunday Drive"



Well this ain't
No Sunday drive
Got the tach
Redlined
Throttle opened wide

(Gentlemen start your engines)

Got all new
Diagnostic-tuned
Polished, shined
Lookin' like new
This car will blow
Your mind
And your door
Right off

Rotated tires
Balanced, aligned
Highest octane
Money can buy
She looks like
She's flyin' when
She's sittin' at a stop

Your grocery-getting'
Garbage
Is nothing
Next to mine

This ain't
Your Sunday drive
Got the tach
Redlined
Throttle opened wide

Gonna kill a lot of bugs,
Pass a lot of poles
Burn a little rubber
Down a blacktop road

Better be able
To bury that needle your pinkslip's
On the line

This ain't no
Sunday drive

Ole mark, set,
Ready,fly
Be waitin'
At the finish

Hand your keys tol my baby
And don't ask
For a ride
This ain't no
Sunday drive
(Naw it ain't, son!)

This ain't
Your Sunday drive
Got the tach
Redlined
Throttle opened wide

Gonna kill a lot of bugs,
Pass a lot of poles
Burn a little rubber
Down a blacktop road

Better be able
To bury that needle
Your pinkslip's on the line

This ain't no
Sunday drive

This ain't no
Sunday drive

(Overdrive)

"Suppertime"

"Suppertime"


Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till evening shadows would come
Then winding down that old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at setting sun

Come home, come home, it's supper time
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's supper time
We're going home at last

[Spoken:]
Some of the fondest memories of my childhood
Were woven around supper time
When mother used to call from the back steps
Of the old home place
Come on home, son, it's supper time
Oh, how I'd love to hear those words once more
But you know for me time has woven for me
A realization of truth that's even more thrilling
That when the call from the portals of glory
To come on home, it's supper time

Come home, come home, it's supper time
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's supper time
We're going home at last
We're going home at last

[Spoken:]
When all of Gods children shall gather round the table
With the Lord, Himself
At the greatest supper time of them all

"T.L.C. A.S.A.P."



I need TLC ASAP...

Well, my muscles ache
And my feet are sore.
Thank God it's Friday,
And it's almost four!
Time to hit the door!

Gonna spend the weekend
On the lake.
We've been workin' overtime
And we need a break.
And, Honey, I can't wait!

We know how to spell relief,
Got a good old fashion recipe...

A little TLC ASAP...
A little R & R for you and me...
A guaranteed rat race remedie,
A little TLC ASAP.

Bring a book to read,
And a change of clothes.
Well, I packed the cooler
And the Coleman stove,
And the radio.

We can float on a raft
In the sun all day
We can love in the moonlight,
Hours away,
While the crickets play.

Well, we work real hard six days a week,
Honey, this is somethin' we both need...

A little TLC ASAP...
A little R & R for you and me...
A guaranteed rat race remedie,
A little TLC ASAP.

A little TLC ASAP...
A little R & R for you and me...
A guaranteed rat race remedie,
I need TLC ASAP.

TLC ASAP...
R & R for you and me...

TLC ASAP...
R & R for you and me...

"Take A Little Trip"

"Take A Little Trip"



If we could leave this ol' city
And head for the cabin we love
Back deep in the woods
Woah, baby we would
If we could jump some big ol' jet plane
And head for the islands
Where the weather is always good
Oh, don't you know we would

Well we can't do this and we can't do that
But baby we can stay right where we're at
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little time leave it all behind
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight

We could go down town to a nightclub
And dance to the rhythm of the music
On that old hardwood
Woah, baby we could
We could call up Rita and Bobby
And see what they're doing tonight
And maybe play some rook
Yeah, baby we could

Yeah, now we can do this or we can do that
Or baby we can stay right where we're at
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little time leave it all behind
Take a little trip you and me out of sight

Pull down the shades turn out the lights
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
(Take a little) Take a little trip
(Take a little trip) Me and you me out of sight

Pull down the shades turn out the lights
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight...

"Take Me Down"

"Take Me Down"



Fly away with me tonight
Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin' arms
And ev'rything's gonna be alright
You're the one who took my hand
When no one else could understand
You're the one who moves me
Like nobody else can.

Take me down where I wanna be
Turn around, this man who lives inside of me
Take me down and love me all night long
Hold me close and make me strong
Take me down, take me down tonight.

In your eyes I see a light
It's your emotions glowin' bright
So keep the fires burnin'
And let it warm me through the night.
You can be a part of me
'Cause you're what love was meant to be
You and me, baby
We'll set this flame inside free.

Take me down where I wanna be
Turn around, this man who lives inside of me
Take me down and love me all night long
Hold me close and make me strong
Take me down, take me down tonight.

You don't have to stay forever
Let's just put our hearts together
Share another night in ecstasy
We know that it's feelin' better
Ev'ry time we get together
Maybe love was meant for you and me
Whoa.

Take me down where I wanna be
Turn around, this man who lives inside of me
Take me down and love me all night long
Hold me close and make me strong
Take me down, take me down tonight.

Take me down tonight
Ooh oh, take me down tonight
Ooh oh, are you gonna take me, (take me)
Shake me, (shake me)
Take me down tonight.
Um hum
Take me, take me...

"Tar Top"

"Tar Top"



It was July hot 'cross Georgia on my way to Myrtle Beach
I just got my diploma so I set out in search of me
The honeymoon was over, and Alabama was far away
From being little more than just a southern state.

I got a gig down at the Bowery
I played for tip and watered drinks
Just a novice in a business
That's seldom what it seems.

And where are you goin' Tar Top
Where's J. C. And The Chosen Few
I saw the Flash without T. Gentry
And B. V. left for Malibu.

I was July hot and thirty, some years down the line
When the Boys touched the nation, unaware at the time
I got to go to Texas, California, New York too
A farm boy who is thankful to be standin' in his shoes.

But in the Bowery hangs the mem'ries
Of dreams that still come true
Every time I see the spotlight
I'm one of the chosen few.

And where are you going Tar Top
Where's J. C. and the Chosen Few
There's no Flash without T. Gentry
And B. V. where are you?

Where are you goin' Tar Top
Which direction will you take
What's this contrabanded clamor
About the music that you make?

And where are you goin' Tar Top
Is it country enough
Is it contemporary glamour
No it's us, just us.

Uh huh...

"Tennessee Christmas"

"Tennessee Christmas"



Come on weather man give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers of every child like heart tonight
Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep, but it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter, I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
The only Chirstmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then I get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting,
Still I think I'm gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas,
It's the only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday,
It's the only place to be
A tender Tennessee Christmas,
It's the only Christmas to me

It's the only Christmas to me

Come on let us have
An every now and then
A tender Tennessee Christmas

Tender Tennessee Christmas

"Tennessee River"

"Tennessee River"



I was born across the river
In the mountains where I call home.
Lord, times were good there.
Don't know why I ever roamed.

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band.

This mountain King done left his throne
On the Tennessee River and His mountain home
But I'm going back, Leaving today
For my homeland so far away
Driving to Dixie, wasting no time
Back to the good life I left behind
Going down to the river with my fishing line
Climb back up the mountain by supper time

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band.

Me and my woman's done made our plans
On the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a family, Lord, settle down
Where peace and love can still be found.

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band.

Oh, Tennessee River...

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band.

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band.

Oh, Tennessee River...
