"In The Shadow Of A Lie"

"In The Shadow Of A Lie"

I lead a rich rewarding life, a wife, a home, a car
But generally you can find me down in some dim lit bar
I hold all the pleasures of the world, this fact I can't deny
But I'm living, yes, I'm living in the shadow of a lie
My wife's first husband and myself were on a fishin' trip
He was in our rowboat, me on shore, when I saw my partner slip
A hellish thing took hold of me and I delayed my rescue dash
Still I knew my lover husband had finally breathed his last
I took his body back to town and restrained a happy smile
When they said there'd be a hearin', wouldn't even be a trial
That a fine upstanding citizen like me could do no wrong
And the walls between me and my love would finally soon be gone
Now just when my world glows brightest and warm thoughts run through my head
A chilling darkness hovers like a demon over head
And sometimes the guilt inside me reigns so strong I hope to die
For I'm living, is it living, in the shadow of a lie...

"Into My Arms Again"

"Into My Arms Again"

The music from the honky tonk
The lonely songs they play
Comin' through my window
'Cause I live not far away

There tempting me to come back
To the things we used to do
But the honky tonks and lonely songs
I left behind when I left you

The nightlife with it's party's
That's you're style of being gay
Although it meant I lost your love
I couldn't live that way

I hope some day you'll think
Enough of me and try to change
And come away from the honky tonk
Back into my arms again

The nightlife with it's party's
That's you're style of being gay
Although it meant I lost your love
I couldn't live that way

I hope some day you'll think
Enough of me and try to change
And come away from the honky tonk
Back into my arms again

Oh, won't you come away from the honky tonk
Back into my arms again?

"It"

"It"

I hate it
It's no good it's all over and it doesn't matter anymore
You told me that you walked out the door
It's too late oh I hate it

It was love at first sight and it was heavenly
And almost over night it wasn't hard as used to be
It was all down hill then it was time to slip
It's too bad it's so sad I'm fed up with it

I hate it...

I bring it on you and you bring it on me
It was nothing near it's the oldest history
It's been hard on us both we don't like it one bit
Let's stop blamin' it on each other let's blame each other on it

I hate it...
I hate it

"It Ain't Gonna Worry My Mind"

"It Ain't Gonna Worry My Mind"

Same old story they all hand me
Preacher tells me these are troubled times
But I know the Lord's been in tougher scrapes than this one
It ain't gonna worry, it ain't gonna worry,
No, it ain't gonna worry my mind.

Got no money in my pocket
You don't get rich working overtime
But as long as you can't buy the springtime in Virginia
It ain't gonna worry, it ain't gonna worry me no
It ain't gonna worry my mind.

Love is all that ever made you richer, if the truth be told
Moonlight's been my only silver, the sun my only gold
Go on wishing and go on praying
Go on saying I'll hit bitter times
But how in the world could she love me any better
Lord, it ain't gonna worry, it ain't gonna worry no, Lord, no
It ain't gonna worry my mind.
Lord, You just know it ain't gonna worry my mind...

"It Don't Get Any Better Than This"

"It Don't Get Any Better Than This"

I could honky-tonk in Texas on Saturday night
And dance myself out on the floor.

Go to Luckenbach Texas and the neon lights
And everybody's sreaming for more.

It just don't get any better than this
That's about as good as good ever gets
If there's anything better, it's somethin' I missed
It just don't get any better than this.

I have chased that lonesome whistle rollin' down the line
It's a feelin' that's hard to explain

But an Okie from Muskogee can leave his blues behind
Riding on a fast movin' train

It just don't get any better than this
That's about as good as good ever gets
If there's anything better, it's somethin' I missed
It just don't get any better than this.

Down in Lousiana near ole New Orleans
I found one of life's greatest frills

While you were on the bayou, lovin' Mary Sue
I was in Detroit City makin' Coupe DeVilles

It just don't get any better than this
That's about as good as good ever gets
If there's anything better, it's somethin' I missed
It just don't get any better than this.

"It Hurts As Much In Texas (As It Did In Tennessee)"

"It Hurts As Much In Texas (As It Did In Tennessee)"

Hey, we broke up in Nashville on a cold and rainy night
My tears mixed with the cold rain drops as she walked out of sight
So I put Nashville in my rear view mirror and headed south
'Cause I thought the girls in San Antone would knock her memory out

But it hurts as much in Texas as it did in Tennessee
Lone star lonely, down and blue is what they're callin' me
I thought these Texas dance halls nights would kill my misery
But it hurts as much in Texas as it did in Tennessee

My heart still lives in Nashville with the girl I long to see
I'm tryin' to forget the way that she broke up with me
I thought that I could two step her sweet memory from my mind
But she still waltzes through my dreams and wakes me up at night

But it hurts as much in Texas as it did in Tennessee
Lone star lonely, down and blue is what they're callin' me
I thought these Texas dance halls nights would kill my misery?
But it hurts as much in Texas as it did in Tennessee
Yeah, it hurts as much in Texas as it did in Tennessee

"It Is No Secret"

"It Is No Secret"

The chimes of time ring out the news,
Another day is through.
Someone slipped and fell.
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength,
Your courage to renew.
Do not be disheartened,
For I have news for you.

It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night for in His light
You'll never walk alone.
Always feel at home,
Wherever you may roam.

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side.
Just take Him at His promise,
Don't run away and hide.

It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

It is no secret what God can do...

"It Scares Me Half To Death"

"It Scares Me Half To Death"

It scares me half to death to think I almost lost you
It breaks my heart to know how much I made you cry
And if you'll let me show you darling I'll right the wrongs I've done
And ease the heartaches I have caused in the days gone by
You told me that our love was cold and then you said goodbye
But I can't love another I'd be living a lie
It scares me half to death to think I had forgotten
The vows we made to stay together come what may
And while I'm holding you my darling I'm holding my breath
Cause just the thought of losing you scares me half to death
It scares me half to death to think I had forgotten...

"It Sure Was Good"

"It Sure Was Good"

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
And it may never come back again but I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good

The first time I laid eyes on you I saw it
Shining in your eyes was bright as day
And when I held you in my arms I felt it
Oh, but like a fool I let it slip away

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
Well, it may never come back again but I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good

First time that we kissed I could taste it
Sweet upon my lips like a song
The moment we made love I knew we'd found it
One day I woke up and it was gone

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
And it may never come back again I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good

If you had one more chance would you take it?
And would you stand beside me from now on?
The second time around could we make it
And would you be there with me, hold it on

We don't know what it was but we had it
We don't where it went but we lost it
And it may never come back again but I sure wish it would
We don't know what it was but it sure was good
No, we don't know what it was but it sure was good

"It's A 10-33"

"It's A 10-33"

We're traveling down the back roads
Down the highway filled with lights
With a CB for directions and our ears on day and night
Get Jesus on the airways so he can take command
We won't ever need a roadmap just His soul salvation plan

You don't have to tell your handle Jesus know just who you are
Don't you worry about your output He's never very far
Let your heart be your transceiver, He'll answer every need
If good buddy your 10-20 is somewhere down on your knees

It's a 10-33 let's get Jesus on the line
Troubles will be over, He'll take all the breaks in times
We got to much conversation we need more soul salvation
It's a 10-33 let's get Jesus on the line

Don't sweat the county mounties or the big eye in the sky
There's a bigger one that's watching you
And you'll see Him if you try
Just keep on modulating with Heaven on your mind
It's a 10-33 let's get Jesus on the line

It's a 10-33 let's get Jesus on the line.
Our troubles will be over, He'll take all the breaks in times
We got to much conversation we need more soul salvation
It's a 10-33 let's get Jesus on the line

It's a 10-33 let's get Jesus on the line...
