"Cruisin'"

"Cruisin'"


Hello baby, I'll be by to pick you up at eight
Wear that red dress
You know the one you wore on our first date
Ease into my chevrolet
We're gonna listen to those oldies play...behind the wheel.

We'll go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
It don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

There's the drive-in
The place where you and I shared our first kiss
There in the moonlight
Love was shining on a night like this
Slide on over next to me
We're gonna make some new memories...so hold on tight.

We'll go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
It don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

We'll go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
It don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

[Instrumental]

Now, it don't matter where we go
Or, baby, what we do
As long as I'm cruisin'
Cruisin' with you.

Baby let's go cruisin'
Cruisin' on Saturday night
We'll be groovin'
Groovin' in the radio light
You and I can go cruisin'...

"Dancin', Shaggin' On The Boulevard"

"Dancin', Shaggin' On The Boulevard"



Well the Magic Attic's where the music rolls..
And the Army-Navy's got ol' Jackie Soul.
Down on Peaches Corner there are Good Ol' Boys..
And Mother Fletchers makin' lots of noise.
They're Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Well the Tams are playin' at the Port-O-Call..
And the Drifters underneath the Boardwalk.
At the Spanish Galleon and Ol' Fat Jacks..
Jukebox playin' and the place is packed.
You bet they're Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
You know they're Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Got the top down and the traffic's slow..
Sun Fun Week and, we all go..
Where the girls are sunnin' and are lookin' good..
Well I never met 'em but I wish I could..
And we'd go Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
We'd go Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Well the Embers singin' up on Ocean Drive..
And the Castaways are gettin' loud tonight.
At the Electric Circus they all getin' down..
And the Carousel's spinnin' round and 'round.
You see them Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
I see 'em Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

Well I'm hangin out down at Sloppy Joes..
They may doze but they never close.
And the Bama Boys at the Bowery..
They can't dance but they play for free.
But they like Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
They know Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
They wrote Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard..
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.
Dancin', Shaggin' on the boulevard.

"Dixie Boy"

"Dixie Boy"



I was raised in the shadows by that old cotton mill
Back when believin' was the style
Small town heaven and a big-eyed boy
Made sweet music for a while.

My daddy worked hard down at the factory
Nights he went to G.I. school
He didn't know nothin' 'bout the silver spoon
But he lived by the golden rule.

Summer nights he was gone, me and mama stayed home
Out on the front porch swing
Wishin' on the stars in the southern sky
And sometimes we used to sing.

We were leaning, leaning on
The everlasting arms of love
Livin' all those simple joys
This Dixie boy is made of.

Got my real education from the T.V. station
And good ole boys down at the park
The say Hey, Willie and those rock-a-billies
Made their way into my heart.

I remember the old folks sittin' 'round talkin'
On laidback Sunday afternoons
They said them young folks sure got a hard road
Oh, they're growin' up too soon.

Now I know they were right, and as I sit here tonight
Out on the front porch swing
The stars are shinin' in my young boy's eyes
Just like they did for me.

We are leaning, leaning on
The everlasting arms of love
Livin' all those simple joys
This Dixie boy is made of.

We are leaning, leaning on
The everlasting arms of love
Livin' all those simple joys
This Dixie boy is made of...

"Dixie Fire"

"Dixie Fire"



I'm not a stranger to passion,
I've seen a lot of love in my time
Felt that physical attraction,
From the touch in the heat of the night
Been all over the country,
Started my share of new flames
But after all is said and done,
There's only one that remains

Dixie fire... burnin' down in my soul
Dixie fire... it never leaves me whole
It took a hometown girl to show me
How cruel these hot summer nights can be
Now there's a Dixie fire burning in the heart of me
Burning in the heart of me

Searching for some kind of direction,
Looking for a guiding light
Needed to see a lighthouse,
Like a ship on a stormy night
Somehow you heard my music,
You felt the sadness in me
You took the words that were so cold,
And added a warm melody

Dixie fire... burnin' down in my soul
Dixie fire... it never leaves me whole
It took a hometown girl to show me
How cruel these hot summer nights can be
Now there's a Dixie fire burning in the heart of me
Burning in the heart of me
(Burn it down now)

Burn, burn, burnin'
Burn, burn, burnin' (Can't you see that I'm)
Burn, burn, burnin' (There's a Dixie fire)
Burn, burn, burnin' (Don't you know that I'm)
Burn, burn, burnin'
Burn, burn, burnin'

"Dixieland Delight"

"Dixieland Delight"



Rollin' down a backwoods, Tennessee by-way,
One arm on the wheel.
Holdin' my lover with the other,
A sweet, soft, southern thrill.
Worked hard all week; got a little jingle,
On a Tennessee Saturday night.
Couldn't feel better, I'm together,
With my Dixieland Delight.

Spend my dollar, parked in a holler,
'Neath the mountain moonlight.
Hold her up tight,
Make a little lovin',
A little turtle dovin'.
On a Mason-Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh so right,
My Dixieland Delight.

White-tail buck deer, munchin' on clover,
Red-tail hawk sittin' on a limb.
A chubby old groundhog, croakin' bullfrog,
Free as the feelin' in the wind.
Home grown country girl, gonna give me a whirl,
On a Tennessee Saturday night.
Lucky as a seven, livin' in heaven,
With my Dixieland Delight.

Spend my dollar, parked in a holler,
'Neath the mountain moonlight.
Hold her up tight, make a little lovin',
A little turtle dovin'.
On a Mason-Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh so right,
My Dixieland Delight.

Spend my dollar, parked in a holler,
'Neath the mountain moonlight.
Hold her up tight, make a little lovin',
A little turtle dovin'.
On a Mason-Dixon night.
Fits my life, oh so right,
My Dixieland Delight.

Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee by way,
One arm on the wheel.
Holdin' my lover...

"Down Home"

"Down Home"


Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on the state road map
That's where I was born and where I'll die

Things move at a slower pace
Nobody's in a rat race
And these days that's a special way of life

[Chorus:]
Down Home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home
A mans good word and a hand shake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up down home

In the corner of the hardware store
Gathered round on a checkered board
Old men telling lies and crownin' kings

Kids drivin' round the old town square
Cops roll down int he cool night air
Go and see what's shakin' at the Dairy Queen

[Chorus:]
Down Home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home
A mans good word and a hand shake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up down home

When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
But now I wanna see my children raised

Down Home
Down Home

Folks know
If there fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up
Down Home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home
A mans good word and a handshake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up
Down Home

Down Home
Way down home
Down home
Down Home
Way down home

"Down On Longboat Key"

"Down On Longboat Key"



She sits and stares out the window at the water
Every night down at Longy's Cafe
All alone she sips her Pina Colada
Talking to herself dreaming time away
The story is that a dark haired sailor
Stole her heart many years ago
He promised her he'd come back and take her
Around the world, bring her hills of gold

Down on Longboat Key
Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze
Down on Longboat Key
She spends her life in a dream
On Longboat Key
Down on Longboat Key
Down on Longboat Key

Each afternoon as the smelt boats comes in
She runs to meet them down at the pier
She sees the fishermen, the nets and the sunset
But she don't see him, her eyes fill with tears
She stands there looking at the crystal blue water
And in the coral she imagine pearls
She makes believe he brought them all the way from China
Then the water swirls
The blue green water swirls

Down on Longboat Key
Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze
Down on Longboat Key
She spends her life in a dream
On Longboat Key
Down on Longboat Key
Down on Longboat Key

Young sailors makes a play to take her home
She says,No, I'm already taken.
Oh, they just laugh when she mentions his name
She keeps on waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting

Down on Longboat Key
Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze
Down on Longboat Key
She spends her life in a dream
Down on Longboat Key (Down on Longboat Key)
Down on Longboat Key, yeah, yeah

Down on Longboat Key (down on Longboat
Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze
Down on Longboat Key (Down on Longboat Key)
Down on Longboat Key, yeah, yeah
Down on Longboat Key...

"Down On The River"

"Down On The River"


Down on the river it's an easy kind of life
Everybody here's feeling fine
No need to worry or get in a hurry
Nothing to spend but time
Light up a smoke and tell a few jokes
And pass the old jug around
We're gonna get right on a Saturday night
When the sun goes down

[Chorus:]
Down on the river
Down on the river
Just some old boys making a lot of noise
Down on the river
Down on the river
Down on the river
If anyone calls, tell them we're all
Down on the river

We'll go fishing by the light of the moon
And bait them hooks by hand
And early in the morning we'll take them off the line
Fry 'em all up in a pan
We gotta get home while we still got a job
Or we'll have to answer to the man
And everybody knows though we gotta go
We'll be back again

[Chorus]

"Down This Road"

"Down This Road"



Down this road there's an old brick house
My mama cried the day that I moved out
And my first summer job was pumpin' gas and fixin' flats
Out at Henry Walker's Texaco
Down this road, down this road

Down this road there's a maple tree
In a cotton field where Jenny first kissed me
And I can still remember the night she said goodbye
I stood there like a fool and watched her go
Down this road, down this road

And it goes on forever
And it goes by too fast
It'll take you anywhere you want to go
And every memory will bring you back

Down this road there's a small white church
Daddy lived his life by the preacher's word
He raised me right, I could always feel his love
Even when the angels called him home
Down this road

And it goes on forever
And it goes by too fast
It'll take you anywhere you want to go
And every memory will bring you back

Down this road
Down this road
Down this road...
