"Listen"
(feat. Vince Gill)

"Listen"
(feat. Vince Gill)



You can hear it if you listen
If you really take the time
If you listen past bravado
If you listen past the wine
Everyone's so busy
The truth gets left behind, left behind

In the light of understanding
The darkness dies at dawn
The winter falls behind us
And the summer comes along
We all need believin'
So we can carry on, carry on

I am always here for you
Every night and day
I'll keep on a light for you
Until you find your way

When the world becomes indifferent
The words become unclear
If you listen past the anger
If you listen past the fear
Everyone's elusive
But the truth is always near
If you listen you will hear

When your dreams are far away
When the doubts begin
I am always here for you
Until you dream again

"Little Drummer Boy"

"Little Drummer Boy"



Come they told me (ba rum bu bu bum)
A new born king to see (ba rum bu bu bum)
Our finest gifts we bring (ba rum bu bu bum)
To set before the king (ba rum bu bu bum)
Rum bu bu bum, Rum bu bu bum
So to honor him (ba rum bu bu bum)
When we come

Little baby (ba rum bu bu bum)
I am a poor boy too (ba rum bu bu bum)
I have no gift to bring (ba rum bu bu bum)
That's fit to give a king (ba rum bu bu bum)

Shall I play for you (ba rum bu bu bum)
On my drum
Then he nodded (ba rum bu bu bum)
The Ox and Lamb kept time (ba rum bu bu bum)
I played my drum for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
I played my best for him (ba rum bu bu bum)
Rum bu bu bum Rum bu bu bum
Then he smiled at me (ba rum bu bu bum)

Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

"Little Victories"

"Little Victories"



When your baby up and leaves you
Up and leaves you flat
Don't you laugh my friend sometimes it happens just like that
First you feel the anger then the sorrow will soon take control
And there'll be hard times for sure
Long cold lonely nights

It might not sound like much
But it'll mean a lot you'll see
Every hour you survive will come to be
A little victory
Little victory

As you struggle through each day
Each strange new day
Feelin' lost and wounded tryin' hard to find your way
No one there to talk it out with
Learnin' how to sleep alone
Overcomin' each new doubt
Tryin' hard just to accept it all

Everytime you keep control when you're cut off at the knees
Everytime you take a punch and still stand at ease
Little victories
Little victories

And when night falls and there's no one around
The cruelest time of all and not one sound
Listenin' to the wind blow
Listenin' to the tickin' of the clock
Tryin' hard to forget
Tryin' hard to just accept it all

As you step out in the night take a lesson from the trees
Watch the way they learn to bend with each breeze
Little victories
Everytime you make it through
It's another little victory
Day by day minute by minute
Little victories

"Living Inside My Heart"

"Living Inside My Heart"



When the sun came up this morning
And she smiled her smile for me
I felt it for the first time
Something deep inside of me
So you can take your midnight ramblin' boys
And you can keep your winding roads

She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside
Oh there's an easiness about her
There's a softness in her way
But she gets me through the hard times
We get closer everyday
I know I'll never be alone now boys
Cause even if I'm far away

She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside, yeah
And I don't know what I did to deserve her
But I'll tell you this my friend
I'm never gonna lose her
Never gonna lose her
Cause eve - ry night
She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside

"Lock And Load"

"Lock And Load"



Well I wish I had a nickel
For every time I fell and blamed somebody else
I'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurt
And I'd still be sittin' pretty well
I've spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's real
Caught up in these missions of my own
And you're tellin' me you think I've done so damn well
While we're sittin' here a thousand miles from home
There's a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your sky
Two holes in your head where the light's supposed to get by

Time to lock and load
Time to get control
Time to search the soul
And start again

So many times I've seen chances disappear
I hesitate and watch them slip away
Like the time I fail to spend with the ones I love
And it's gone as sure as yesterday
All these users and fakers, big time takers
Manipulating everyone they see
I get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreams
And the only one I have to blame is me
I get turned `round and twisted, pulled left and right
I can see where I'm goin', but I can't see the light

Time to lock and load
Come in from the cold
Take a different road
And start again

I can sit here, in the back half of my life
And wonder when the other shoe will fall
Or I can stand up, point myself home
And see if I've learned anything at all
Anything at all

Mediocrity is easy, the good things take time
The great need commitment, right down the line

Time to lock and load
Come in from the cold
Pay these debts I owe
And start again

I've been down this road
I've seen things get old
Time to get control
And start it all again

Time to lock and load
Time to get control
Time to search the soul
And start again

I've been down this road
I've seen things get old
Stand up, get bold
And start it all again

Time to lock and load

"Loneliness Is A Feeling"

"Loneliness Is A Feeling"



As the sand dunes of time march on
The wind blows the storms to the shore
Sadness and loneliness hand in hand
Lord I feel no more
Loneliness is a feeling

I'm lost in a world with love all around
Standing there like a pillar of salt
Don't know the day, my hair's turning grey
Ooh is the tide coming to take my blues away
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness is a feeling

When she tells you your love was a sin
You lie in your bed all alone
And all the children come in to your heart
Lord I feel no more
Loneliness is a feeling

Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness

"Lonely Man"

"Lonely Man"



So lonely, I'm a lonely man from Gainesville
(He ain't got nowhere to go), got nowhere to go
Said I don't want doin' wrong over this land
(Yes his blood is growin' cold), cold, gettin colder

Yeah, I believe that all the people on the street
Take the time, time to stare
Not lonely in their eyes, for thinkin' that I'm nowhere
Lord, I wasn't born, wasn't born to wander aimlessly
Lord it can't be
I don't want it to be my destiny
Lord, woman come an help me

Oh I wish that I could find me a turkey
(all he needs is good sweet love)
Yeah gotta go quack quack
Oh baby I would know in my heart I would be lucky
(That's the only way to go)
Yeah, be fine

Yeah, I wanna tell you that all the people on that street
they take the time to stare
I can see in their eyes, for thinkin' that I'm nowhere
Lord, I wasn't born, wasn't born to wander 'round aimlessly
Can't be, can't be
Don't want it to be my destiny Lord,take ahold of me

Sure don't wanna be a lonely man

"Long Song Comin'"

"Long Song Comin'"



Politician 'bout to make his speech
Signal for attention, please
Then he shuffled his notes
And wiped his sweating brow
I looked at my friend next to me
And we don't dare agree
Before this is over
We'll wish we woulda left right now

'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like he might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy
We got better things to listen to

Lady from a church bizarre
Was smiling from her head to her feet
All the way down to her feet
That she couldn't see
She started speeking her piece
I said "Stop, Wait a minute, please
Before you start talkin'
I wish you'd please listen to me."

'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And though some of the things you say might be true
It still sounds like a long song comin'
And baby, listen lady, I got better things to listen to
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like you might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
Say, so it sounds like a long song comin'
And it sounds like some just might be true
Still it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to

"Long Twin Silver Line"

"Long Twin Silver Line"



Well the big train keeps on rolling
Rolling on down the track
And the way she's moving buddy
I don't believe she's a-coming back

The fireman's smoking a big cigar
Sipping Lafite Rothschild Bordeaux
And the engineer's so happy
He's just a-letting that whistle blow

She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling on proud and fine
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
Down that long twin silver line

Well she just blazed through Chicago
Nonstop to L.A.
And the way she's steaming buddy
You better not get in her way
She's got the finest fastest pulling twin diesels
She's got ninety three cars in tow
She's gonna be on time
All the way down the line
Come the rain hail sleet or snow

She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling on right on time
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
Down that long twin silver line
Rolling on down the line
And she just passed in Chicago
Rolling into Kansas too
Rolling into Denver
Doing all she'll do
And she hangs a big left in Salt Lake City

Southwest to the Nevada line
Rolling into California
Right on time
Rolling on down the line

"Lookin' Back"

"Lookin' Back"


You hit the street, you feel them staring
You know they hate you you can feel their eyes a glarin'
Because you're different, because you're free
Because you're everything deep down they wish they could be

[Chorus:]
You're lookin back (lookin back) they're lookin back (lookin back)
Too many people lookin back
You're lookin back (lookin back) they're lookin back (lookin back)
Too many people lookin back

They watch the news, see young men dying
They watch them bleedin' and listen to them lyin'
And if they're normal if they can see
They just reach out and change the channel on the TV

[Chorus]

When they could vote, and end the war
They're much too busy fittin' locks upon the back door
Give you a foxhole, a place to hide
Cause when the war come the cops'll be on their side

[Chorus]
