"We Danced"

"We Danced"


The bar was empty
I was sweeping up the floor
That's when she walked in
I said, "I'm sorry but we're closed"
And she said "I know,
But I'm afraid I left my purse"
I said, "I put one back behind the bar
I bet it's probably yours"
And the next thing that I knew
There we were, lost in conversation
And before I handed her her purse
I said, "You'll only get this back on one condition"

[Chorus]
And we danced
Out there on that empty hardwood floor
The chairs up and the lights turned way down low
The music played, we held each other close
And we danced

And from that moment
There was never any doubt
I had found the one
That I had always dreamed about
And then one evenin'
When she stopped by after work
I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt
And as her eyes filled up with tears
She said, "This is the last thing I expected"
And then she took me by the hand
And said, "I'll only marry you on one condition"

[Chorus]

Like no one else had ever danced before
I can't explain what happened on that floor
But the music played
We held each other close
And we danced
Yeah, we danced

"Welcome To The Future"

"Welcome To The Future"



When I was ten years old,
I remember thinkin' how cool it would be,
When we were goin' on an eight hour drive,
If I could just watch T.V.

And I'd have given anything
To have my own PacMan game at home.
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade;
Now I've got it on my phone.

He-e-ey...
Glory glory hallelujah.
Welcome to the future.

My grandpa was in World War II,
He fought against the Japanese.
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma;
Mailed em from his base in the Philippines.

I wish they could see this now,
Where they say this change can go.
Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo.

He-e-ey...
Everyday is a revolution.
Welcome to the future.

He-e-ey...
Look around it's all so clear.
He-e-ey...
Wherever we would go and well we...
He-e-ey...
So many things I never thought I'd see...
Happening right in front of me.

I had a friend in school,
Running-back on a football team,
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the home-coming queen.

I thought about him today,
Everybody who's seen what he's seen,
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream.

He-e-ey...
Wake up Martin Luther.
Welcome to the future.
He-e-ey...
Glory glory hallelujah.
Welcome to the future.

"Welcome To The Future (Reprise)"

"Welcome To The Future (Reprise)"



I went to see father of the bride,
With a girl back home,
We broke up before the sequal,
So I went to that one all alone.

I wondered who I'd wind up with,
And what would our kids look like?
Well I guess I got my answer,
As I tuck them in at night.

Heeeeey, I don't think dreams come any truer,
Boys, welcome to the future.

"When I Get Where I'm Going"
(feat. Dolly Parton)

"When I Get Where I'm Going"
(feat. Dolly Parton)



When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

[Repeat chorus]

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

"When We All Get To Heaven"

"When We All Get To Heaven"


Sing the wondrous love of Jesus;
Sing his mercy and his grace.
In the mansions bright and blessed
He'll prepare for us a place.

While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds will overspread the sky
But when travlin days are over
Not a shadow not a sigh

[Refrain:]

When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We'll sing and shout the victory!

Onward to the prize before us!
Soon his beauty we'll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold.

[Refrain]

"Whiskey Lullaby"
(feat. Alison Krauss)

"Whiskey Lullaby"
(feat. Alison Krauss)



She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

[1st Chorus]
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

(Sing lullaby)

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

[2nd Chorus]
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

(Sing lullaby)

"Who Needs Pictures"

"Who Needs Pictures"



There's an old Kodak camera in my dresser drawer
I ran across it just this afternoon
And I realized that I don't ever use it anymore
In fact last time I did I think it was with you

When we were down in Cozumel
We had the whole beach to ourselves
And it's crazy now to think
That it's all there on that film
And I could take it to the store
To be developed, but what for
I can still see everything just fine
And who needs pictures with a memory like mine

Standin' there I couldn't help but think about
Everything that might be on that roll
I think it even has another trip we took
I guess that must've been at least three years ago

When we were down in Baton Rouge
And there wasn't much to do
So we drove into New Orleans every afternoon
And I swear that you would think
That it was only yesterday
'Cause I can still see everything just fine
Who needs pictures with a memory like mine

Somewhere in my closet
There's a cardboard box just sittin' on a shelf
It's full of faded memories
And it's been there ever since the night you left

Oh, just forgotten photographs
To remind me of the past
Oh, but I can still see everything just fine
Who needs pictures with a memory like mine
Yeah, who needs pictures with a memory like mine

"Winter Wonderland"

"Winter Wonderland"


Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
It's a beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
And here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married
We'll say no man
But you can do the job
When you're in town

[Chorus]
Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
We'll face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Jim Ed Brown
We'll sing "Pop A Top" with Mr. Snowman
When chapel bells are ringing all around

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

Yeah we'll face unafraid
That plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

"With You, Without You"

"With You, Without You"



You really left your mark
On this old house
And this old heart
I see you everywhere
And when I close my eyes
You're still there
And I know
You want me to move on
Start living a new life
Start writing a new song
Don't worry, I ain't going to ask you
To come back and love me
Baby you don't have to
Cause I can be in love with you, without you

It's not that hard at all
It's like you're out of town
Just forgot to call
Just because you walked away
Doesn't mean my feelings have to change
Now I know

You want me to move on
Stop living an old life
Stop singing an old song
Don't worry, I ain't going to ask you
To come back and love me
Baby you don't have to
Cause I can be in love with you, without you

Oh and If you're gone for good
I hope that you go far
Cause how I fell about you
Don't matter where you are

Yeah... and I know
You want me to move on
Start living a new life
Stop singing an old song
But I can be in love with you
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
I can be in love with you, without you

"Working On A Tan"

"Working On A Tan"



She's got the focus
she's got the time
she's got a deeper shade in mind
She's got headphones
She's got spring break Swimsuit and Coppertone 8

She's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand chilling in a chair, flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
there's a term paper due in a week or two only she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
working on a tan

All the Kappa Sigma boys been lifting weights hitting that gym drinking protein shakes
they got a cooler full of beer and it's loaded in the jeep why do you think they're going to the

Beach

Because she's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand, chilling in a chair, flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
shes attracting a crowd got their tongues hanging out but she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
working on a tan

Yeah so many things run thing her mind?.reapply
So this week while you are stuck in your cubicle or your serving Starbucks or you're still in

School
far from rubbing sunscreen on your skin sorry but I have to rub it in

She's working on a tan
She's sitting in the sand, chilling in a chair, flower in her hair margarita in her hand
Soaking up the sun getting next to nothing done
forget her grades forget her GPA she don't give a damn
She's working on a tan
working on a tan
