"Ace Of Hearts"

"Ace Of Hearts"


Love's a gamble every heart will take
You roll the dice in hopes that it won't break
One night I bet on your blue eyes and took a chance
And I won a whole lot more than one night of romance

[Chorus:]
I held the ace of hearts that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold a winning hand
Anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose 'cause I got you
My ace of hearts.

Love's a numbered wheel you have to spin
There's no need for me to spin again
Cause loving you is paying off more than I knew
I took a little risk and hit it big with you

[Chorus:]
I held the ace of hearts that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold a winning hand
Anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose 'cause I got you
My ace of hearts.

[Chorus:]
I held the ace of hearts that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold a winning hand
Anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose 'cause I got you
My ace of hearts.

I'm gonna hold on to
My ace of hearts...

"After 17"

"After 17"



Her right hand closed the front porch door
Suddenly a child no more
All the ribbons all the bows in a box now on her closet floor
Anxious for whats to come
Afraid to leave a place she loves

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Broken hearts and rusted dreams
Sometimes make it hard to leave and
Certainty is out of reach even with some self belief
So she bites her lip and shows a smile
Flips her hair and flaunts her style

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Her memories she stowed away
Pulls them out on rainy days
And brand new faces take their place beside the ones that never fade
Shes strong and fragile, weak and smart
Whatever the cost she plays the part

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Her right hand closed the front porch door
And suddenly a child no more.

"Ain't Got Trouble Now"

"Ain't Got Trouble Now"


The girl I loved, she sure was pretty,
but always runnin’ round.
She finally ran off with a boy from the city,
and I ain’t got trouble now.

[Chorus:]
I ain’t got trouble now,
no I ain’t got trouble now.
I had it before, and I’ll have some more,
but I ain’t got trouble now.

Spent ten years breakin’ my back,
for the meanest man in town.
Today I walked out and I ain’t goin’ back,
and I ain’t got trouble now.

[Chorus:]
I ain’t got trouble now,
no I ain’t got trouble now.
I had it before, and I’ll have some more,
but I ain’t got trouble now.

Had an ol’ rust bucket and four ball tires,
always breaking down.
Been walkin’ every day since it caught on fire,
and I ain’t got trouble now.

[Chorus:]
I ain’t got trouble now,
no I ain’t got trouble now.
I had it before, and I’ll have some more,
but I ain’t got trouble now.

Now I got no ride,I got no money,
and there ain’t no girls in this town.
But the whiskey goes down, smooth as honey,
and I ain’t got trouble now.

[Chorus x3:]
I ain’t got trouble now,
no I ain’t got trouble now.
I had it before, and I’ll have some more,
but I ain’t got trouble now.

"All American Country Boy"

"All American Country Boy"



I work a forty hour week and I earn my keep
And I try to walk proud and tall
I keep my nose to the ground, I don't get behind
And I don't back up at all
Well my neck's a little red, my collar's blue
I sip a little coffee, and I drink a little booze

'Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spittin' image and my mama's pride and joy
There ain't nothing down home that I really don't enjoy
'Cause I'm an all American country boy

I drive a pickup truck and I don't pass the buck
And I always speak my mind
I'm hooked on T.V., Rolaids, and B.C.'s
And I know how to have a good time
I'm a little bit rowdy and a little bit tame
Ain't no way I'm ever gonna change

'Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spittin' image and my mama's pride and joy
There ain't nothing down home that I really don't enjoy
'Cause I'm an all American country boy

Well I must admit that I've mellowed a bit
Father Time can slow you down
I'm still doin' all I used to do
It just takes a little longer now

'Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spittin' image and my mama's pride and joy
There ain't nothing down home that I really don't enjoy
'Cause I'm an all American country boy

I'm just a country boy
A good ol' country boy

"Amarillo"

"Amarillo"


The time has come, You're really leavin'
You always told me that you wanted to
I guess I never thought It would happen
I guess I never really wanted it to
The world is calling you and you must answer
But you can take me with you In your dreams

[Chorus:]
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waitin' for you

Your sister told me you were workin'
At some office out in tinsel town
Don't forget about those who love you
They'll be there for you if you get down
I believe in you and all you're after
I hope you end up where you want to be

[Chorus:]
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waitin' for you

Thirty years now have gone by quickly
I still think of you from time to time
My wife died early, I've got children
I'm happy and my health is fine
I often wondered if you found your freedom
I sometimes wonder if I should have gone

[Chorus:]
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waitin' for you.

[Chorus:]
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
I'll be waitin' for you

I'll be waiting for you.
I'll be waiting for you.!...

"Amazing Grace"

"Amazing Grace"



Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we first begun.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.

"Another Good Reason"

"Another Good Reason"



I woke up the other night
Lyin' on the floor
Right beside someone
I've never seen before
She said, my name's Juliet
Romeo you ain't
That's another good reason not to drink

That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep goin' on like this
I'll end up like ol' Hank
That's another good reason not to drink

I can't go see my best friend
An' he said stay away
Just because of what I said
On his wedding day
He oughta call a Sherman
'Cause she looks just like a tank
That's another good reason not to drink

That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep goin' on like this
I'll end up like ol' Hank
That's another good reason not to drink

I'm gonna sue to city
About that policeman
Last night as I left the bar
He stepped right on my hand
He said, are you drunk or blind?
I said, let me think
That's another good reason not to drink

That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep goin' on like this
I'll end up like ol' Hank
That's another good reason not to drink
Ooh

That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep goin' on like this
I'll end up like ol' Hank
That's another good reason
Baby, let me in I'm freezin'
Another good reason not to drink

"Anywhere On Earth You Are"

"Anywhere On Earth You Are"



I've been riding these blue highways
Another night has made me stop
My weary bones can go no farther
And here's where they'll drop

In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Then release me to my journey
As another day grows light

I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I wanna do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

I've always been a gypsy
And the road calls me to roam
But each day brings me closer
To the place where we call home

Still got many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I wanna do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Right now all I wanna do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

"Appalachian Mountain Girl"

"Appalachian Mountain Girl"



Beneath the floor and never greens
that kept the ridge on high
there lives a green-eyed mountain girl
that stoled my heart one night
She loved me like I never know
and chased me down below
To never feel her touch again
or taste that mountain snow

That Appalachian Mountain Girl that haunts me from above
my heart will never beat the same without her mountain love

I often wakeup late at night
dreaming of about her
then walked on floor till morning comes
and hope she will return

That Appalachian Mountain Girl that haunts me from above
my heart will never beat the same without her mountain love

Sometimes the wind will blow just right
and I think I can smell
The flowers that headlined the road
That led me to this hell

That Appalachian Mountain Girl that haunts me from above
my heart will never beat the same without her mountain love

"Are You Washed In The Blood?"

"Are You Washed In The Blood?"


Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

[Chorus:]
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside your garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb.
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean.
O, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

[Chorus]
