"Angels Among Us"

"Angels Among Us"



I was walking home from school, on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
But then a kind old man, took my hand, and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone, to come along, and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say, I understand
But ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road
That someone lights the way, with just a single ray of hope

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places
To grace us with their mercy, in our time of need

Oh I believe there are, angels among us
Sent down to us, from somewhere up above
They come to you and me, in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love
To guide us with a light of love

"As Right Now"

"As Right Now"



You're still the lady of my dreams
You're still my high school beauty queen
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I have never loved you so much
As right now

As right now

You're still my actress on the screen
Still the leading lady in my scenes
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I've still never loved someone so much
As right now

As right now

As right now

You're still the one I'm with when I'm alone
And you're still the lover calling on my phone
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I will never love someone so much
As right now

As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now
As right now...

"Barefootin'"

"Barefootin'"



Everybody get on your feet,
You make me nervous when you in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet,
We're doin a dance that can't be beat
We're barefootin', We're barefootin',
We're barefootin', We're barefootin'

Went to a party the other night,
Long Tall Sally was out of sight
Threw way her wig, and her high sneakers too,
She was doin a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin', She was barefootin',
She was barefootin', She was barefootin'

Hey, little gal with the red dress on,
I bet you can barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw them away,
Come back and get them another day
We're barefootin', We're barefootin',
We're barefootin', We're barefootin'

Lil' John Henry he said to Sue,
If I was barefootin' would you barefoot too
Sue told John, "I'm thirty two,
I was barefootin ever since I was two
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin, we're barefootin'

We're barefootin' we're barefootin'

We're barefootin' we're barefootin'
We're barefootin' we're barefootin'
We're barefootin'...

"Between The Two Of Them"

"Between The Two Of Them"



They married back in '32
They were young and love was new
And every day the feeling grew
Between the two of them

When work grew scarce and times got bad
The hope would chase away the sad
And hope was sometimes all they had
Between the two of them

The 40's came and the 50's went
And the mortgage replaced the rent
They made the most of each day spent
Between the two of them

Their children all turned out just fine
So he retired in '69
And left with oh so, little time
Between the two of them

Today I brave the graveyard rain
And placed a rose between their names
Now that's the most that ever came
Between the two of them

And though I miss them oh so much
His crooked smile her gentle touch
And the pleasure of just growing up
Between the two of them...

"Burn Georgia Burn"

"Burn Georgia Burn"



Atlanta was on fire, so was she the night he left her
He left her there to bare her pain alone
Hoping to return
Burn, Georgia burn.

Roaring of the guns feel the emptiness inside her
Where once she felt the pounding of her heart
When he held her in his arms the tenderness they learned
Burn, Georgia burn.

He was a body, she was the soul
Of the love affair they couldn't control
While their world was falling down around them
They were not concerned
Burn, Georgia burn.

Winter brought the snow, and the rider down from Franklin
With news about the war had taken a toll
And he would not return
Burn, Georgia burn.

He was a body, she was the soul
Of the love affair they couldn't control
While their world was falling down around them
They were not concerned
Burn, Georgia burn.

While strolling through her mind
She stumbled on an old familier feeling
Of how he touched her many years ago
And how he made her burn
Burn, Georgia burn...

"Calling All Angels"

"Calling All Angels"



Calling, calling all angels
Oh I'm calling, calling all angels

The night was still, the moon was bright
When he saw a distant light
So he started walkin' till he found
A church outside of town
And he stumbled in and closed the door
Said why I'm here, I'm not sure
It's my baby that I'm lookin' for
Can't she see I'm down on my knees

I've been calling, calling all angels
Bring my baby back
Oh, you must know where she's at
Tell me what to do
I know that she's one of you
I'm down on my knees, tell her please
That I love her so

Tell me preacher, man to man
Will you do all that you can
I've done wrong, this I know
And I really hurt her so
It's a lonely world I'm livin' in
An ocean of tears I been cryin'
In this greatest hour of need
What can be done for a fool like me

Oh, I'm calling, calling all angels
Bring my baby back
Oh, you must know where she's at
Yes I've been a fool
And I know that she's one of you
Now do this for me, tell her please

And if she's lonely
I'll make her understand
That these arms can carry
Both of us back to heaven again

Yes I've been a fool
And I know that she's one of you
Do this for me
Tell her please

Calling, calling all angels
Hear me calling, calling all angels
Oh, I'm calling, calling all angels
Hear me calling, calling all angels
Oh, I'm calling, calling all angels...

"Can't Forget About You"

"Can't Forget About You"



The walls of my mind
Are closin' in
Can't get away
Your mem'ry won't end
Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.

Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue.
Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through.

I still see your eyes
Your warm gentle smile
It was all worthwhile
Each moment we knew
Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.

Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue.
Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through.

Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue.
Can't forget about you.
Can't forget about you.
I never stop hearin' the music after the song is through.

Can't forget about you.
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue...

"Can't Keep A Good Man Down"

"Can't Keep A Good Man Down"


He said goodbye to the angels of heaven
And He came to earth as a common man
He taught us how we could love one another
There was healing in His hands

There were those who believed and followed Him
And there were those who wanted Him dead
They thought the grave would silence Him forever
But they found out instead

[Chorus:]
You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet
And the put Him in the ground
Three days later everybody found out that you can't
No you can't keep a good man down

I hear you say that it all sounds crazy
It's a good story but it can't be true
How could a man who was dead and buried
Mean a thing to me and you

Here we are two thousand years later
And still the choice is just the same
You can say that you don't believe it
But it doesn't change a thing

[Chorus]

I can take you to the hill where they hung Him on a cross
I can take you to the empty tomb
I can tell you He's alive 'cause He lives in me
But the rest is up to you

[Chorus]

"Carolina Mountain Dewe"

"Carolina Mountain Dewe"



Somewhere in the mountains, in northern Alabama
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
And somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
There's the Alabama dreamer, that same man from Tennessee

Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again

Carolina, dreamin' lonely, Carolina, can't you see
You will always be the lady that I dream of holding tight
That I kiss and tell goodnight, Carolina Mountain Dewe

Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
Of the only man to lay her down

Carolina, dreamin' lonely, Carolina, can't you see
You will always be the lady that I dream of holding tight
That I kiss and tell goodnight, Carolina Mountain Dewe

Carolina, I love you
