"Changes Comin' On"

"Changes Comin' On"



Long hair was not in style
The first time I heard Haggard on the radio
But I could feel the changes comin' on
The Beatles crossed the ocean
An overnight explosion on the T.V.
My brother had to go to Vietnam.

Ford unveiled the Mustang
Things looked good in Detroit for the people there
And I could feel the changes comin' on
From Atlanta, Doctor King told the world he had a dream
People followed him
And Daddy said my hair was getting long.

I could feel the changes comin' on
People started singin' different songs
Searchin' for the place where they belong
I could feel changes comin' on.

Well, I'm still hooked on Haggard
But the Beatles can't come back like we hoped they would
In Memphis, Tennessee, The King is gone
As I put my kids to bed
Oh, I wonder what lies ahead for them to see
'Cause I can feel the changes comin' on.

I can feel the changes comin' on
People still are singin' different songs
They're searchin' for the place where they belong
I can feel changes comin' on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.

I can feel changes comin' on
People still are singin' different songs
They're searchin' for the place where they belong.
I can feel changes comin' on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and on.

I can feel, you can feel, we can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and, on.
And on, and on, and on.

I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
And on, and on, and on.
And on, and on, and on.
I can feel changes comin' on.
I can feel changes comin' on...

"Christmas In Dixie"

"Christmas In Dixie"


By now in New York City.
There's snow on the ground.
And out in California.
The sunshines' falling down.
And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights.
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight.

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines.
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight.

It's windy in Chicago.
The kids are out of school.
There's magic in Motown.
The city's on the move.
In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline.
And all across the Nation, it's a peaceful Christmas time.

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines.
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight.
And from Fort Payne, Alabama.

[Spoken:]
God bless you all, We love ya,
Happy New Year, Good night, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas tonight...

"Christmas In Your Arms"

"Christmas In Your Arms"



All my friends are asking me
Where I plan to spend the holidays
People seem to celebrate the season
In so many different ways
Some go where the weather's freezing cold
While others like it warm
I don't care about the weather
Just whether I spend Christmas in your arms

We could drive up to the mountains,
Build a fire and watch it snow
We could sail down to the islands
Where the gentle breezes blow
I'd be happy in the city,
I'd be happy on the farm
I don't care where I spend Christmas
As long as I spend Christmas in your arms

It was only last December
I had no Christmas spirit in my heart
My world lay cold and shattered
In the ashes of a dream that fell apart
But now you're here beside me,
No greater gift is wrapped beneath my tree
And the arms you wrap around me
And the precious gift of love you give to me

We could drive up to the mountains,
Build a fire and watch it snow
We could sail down to the islands
Where the gentle breezes blow
I'd be happy in the city,
I'd be happy on the farm
I don't care where I spend Christmas
As long as I spend Christmas in your arms

I don't care where I spend Christmas
As long as I spend Christmas in your arms...

"Christmas Is Love"

"Christmas Is Love"



It's that time of year when the whole world is heart to heart
You can feel love all around you, you can see it everywhere

Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singing
Christmas is love, it's families comin' home
Christmas is love, it's on the children's faces
Christmas is love

Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Chirstmas is love, hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, it's sharing in the giving
Christmas is love

We all gather 'round, watch the lights dancing on the tree
The spirit of the season, you feel it in the air

Christmas is love, it's in the songs we're singing
Christmas is love, it's families comin' home
Christmas is love, it's on the children's faces
Christmas is love

Christmas is love, a warm and friendly feeling
Christmas is love, just hear the church bells ring
Christmas is love, it's sharing in the giving
Christmas is love... Christmas is love... Christmas is love... Love...

"Christmas Memories"

"Christmas Memories"



There's a blanket of snow
Coverin' up the old road
To the house where I was raised
Through the window I see
The lights on the tree
And a glow from the old fireplace
Though it all looks the same
So much as changed
From the way it used to be

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Still those Christmas memories make me cry

Now the stockings are filled;
The house is still and the kids are dreamin' away
There's that old easy chair,
Me and Daddy sat there waitin' for Santa's sleigh
Now Daddy has gone but we'll carry on
'Cause the little ones will need

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Good ole Christmas Memories
Oh, they mean so much to me
Oh, Those Christmas memories, make me cry...

"Church In The Wildwood"

"Church In The Wildwood"



Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bells
It's tones so sweetly are calling
Oh, come to the church in the vale

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

There she sleeps close by the church in the valley
Lies one that I love so well
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the vale

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

There close by the site of that loved one
Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom
When farewell hymns shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
As the little brown church in the vale

"Clear Across America Tonight"

"Clear Across America Tonight"



Just outside of Austin
I turned on my radio
Tuned it in to a satellite station
She was talkin' on a call-in show
She said it was over, she'd made her choice
Her mind was made-up by the sound of her voice

Clear across America tonight
Clear coast-to-coast tonight
She's long gone, she's outta here
But she's comin' through loud and clear
Clear across America tonight

Sounded like he really had it coming
All the times he'd done her wrong
She said, I hope he's listening
And hung-up the telephone
All of a sudden, I realized
It was me she was telling goodbye

Clear across America tonight
Clear coast-to-coast tonight
She's long gone, she's outta here
But she's comin' through loud and clear
Clear across America tonight

Hello DJ, put me on the air
Give me the chance to tell her I still care
Get her back on the line, tell her I'm still in love
Said, "Sorry son, but you're breaking up"

Clear across America tonight
Clear coast-to-coast tonight
She's long gone, she's outta here
But she's comin' through loud and clear
Across America tonight

Across America tonight
Clear across America tonight
Clear across America tonight
Clear across America tonight...

"Clear Water Blues"

"Clear Water Blues"



Clear water blues
Thinkin' of you
Sittin' here fishin'
Catchin' a few
Spendin' my days
Just tryin' to lose
These clear water blues

Clear water blues
Driftin' along
Nowhere to go
Now that you're gone
My lonely heart
Don't know what to do
With these clear water blues

Lookin' out across the ocean
Blue is all I see
And it seems like no matter
How far I go
Your memory just won't
Set me free

Clear water blues
Won't leave me alone
Keeps on remindin'
Me why you're gone
My reflection
Is showin' a fool
In these clear water blues

Clear water blues
Still thinkin' of you
Sittin' here fishin'
Catchin' a few
Spendin' my days
Just tryin' to lose
These clear water blues
These clear water blues...

"Close Enough To Perfect"

"Close Enough To Perfect"



Sometimes the morning coffee's way too strong.
And Sometimes what she says she says all wrong.

Right or Wrong, she's there beside me,
Like only a friend would be!
And that's close enough to perfect for me.

Now, She's been known to wear her pants too tight.
And drinkin' puts her out just like a light.
Heaven knows she's not an angel,
But she'd really like to be.
And that's close enough to perfect for me.

She kisses me each mornin'
And smiles a sleepy smile!
She don't have to say it.
I can see it in her eyes!

Don't you worry about my woman,
And what you think she aught to be!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

Sometimes she gets down and starts to cry!
But then again a lady has a right.

She's everything I ever wanted!
She's all I'll ever need!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

She kisses me each mornin',
And smiles a sleepy smile!
She don't have to say it.
I can see it in her eyes!

Don't you worry about my woman,
And what you think she aught to be!
She's close enough to perfect for me!

Whooooa... She's close enough to perfect... for me!

"Country Side Of Life"

"Country Side Of Life"



You can have your buildings
And your arithmatic
I don't need no crowded streets
Or city slicker tricks
I just need to be some place
Where I can move around
Look down at my toes
And I can still see the ground.

Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side.

Goin' down to the fishing pond
Where I can throw in the line
It dont' matter what fish I catch
I only came to rest my mind
The only fish you'll get down town
Ain't caught with a hook and sinker
Put on your brakes, beep beep,
Honk your horn look out now
Turn on your blinker.

Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side.

Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side...

I was born in Georgia town
With a lack-a-daisy street
A laid back lover just a-playin' games
And a-stayin' off of them feet
Nobody trying to get on your nerves,
Nobody tryin' to get what you've got
And just live and let live by the golden rule
Now don't it just hit the spot

Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
(Give me the country side)
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side

Give me that country side of life
Where I can stretch out right
Give me the country side
Give me that country side of life
Where I don't get uptight
Give me the country side...
