"Price To Pay"

"Price To Pay"


I wonder how we got like this
Your heart wasn't mine to take
Mine wasn't mine to give
And love wasn't ours to save
I shoulda let you when I could
When the memories
weren't so many or so good
And one night was such a small price to pay

A small price to pay
When a touch was all it was
When the fire was just a candle flame
Throwing shadows of us
What I wouldn't give now
For those long gone yesterdays
When one night was such a small price to pay

Well I guess we'd better go
Maybe this time for good
But the last time wasn't though
But never again sure feels good to say
And I think back to the times
When everything I treasured wasn't on this fragile mind
And one night was such a small price to pay

A small price to pay
When a touch was all it was
When the fire was just a candle flame
Throwing shadows of us
What I wouldn't give now
For those long gone yesterdays
When one night was such a small price to pay
Back when one night was such a small price to pay

"Promises"

"Promises"


Cheap perfume, and painted faces...
fallen angels fill the places
where I go when my troubles bring me down.
All the lies, I know they'll tell me,
and the time that they will sell me...
for a while, I'll be the biggest man in town.

Back at home...
in bed, she's crying.
For her love for me is dying.
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night.
When the morning sun starts showing,
to her bedside I'll be going,
And she'll hold me
while I face the morning light.

And I'll make promises...
promises to change.
I'll make her promises,
swear I'll rearrange,
and I'll start giving all the
love she needs, if only she
will stay.

Once again, she'll reassure me.
And I believe her love will cure me,
and I'll fall asleep with tears on my face.
And I know she's just a woman,
and her love can't last forever.
And someday soon, I know
she'll leave without a trace.

For, broken promises will tear her dreams apart.
Just token promises will someday
break her heart,
and for the last time, she'll hold me
when I cry, and while I'm sleeping...
she'll quietly say goodbye...

"Raise Him Up"

"Raise Him Up"


When I first met his momma
She was just 19
Couldn't say for certain who the father was
I have known him since he was a pup
And I'm gonna raise him up

If you never knew your daddy
Like I never knew mine
It feels like everybody knows you're fatherless
This boy may not be blood of my blood
But I'm gonna raise him up

I'll provide for him
Walk beside of him
I am strong enough
Cause it's time he knew
What a son can do
With a father's love
He can change the world

Ya'll may have to look at joseph
A couple thousand years ago
When he held a newborn baby he named jesus
He said he may not be blood of my blood
Still I'm gonna raise him up

I'll provide for him
Walk beside of him
I am strong enough
I will show him too
What a son can do
With a fathers love
And he will change the world

33 years later
When the son was in his grave
Broken and abandoned by a world he came to save
His real dad said he's mine
Blood of my blood
And I'm gonna raise him up

I'll provide for you
Walk beside of you
I am strong enough
I have seen from you
What a son can do
With a fathers love
One man changed the world
And he can change your world
But you gotta raise him up
Raise him up

"Reasons I Cheat"

"Reasons I Cheat"


A working day to long when everything goes wrong
And a boss who don't know I'm alive

I once had a notion I'd get that promotion, but now I barley survive
A wife to demanding with no understanding
Of why I stay dead on my feet

A dimly lit tavern a willing young woman
Are some of the reasons I cheat
The hair that I'm losing and a women who's choosing
To lay sound asleep by my side
The bills they are mounting thats when I start counting
On someone to help sooth my pride

A lady that knows me affection she shows me and a smile so easy and sweet
The dreams that I've buried the load that I've carried
Are some of the reasons I cheat

My children keep on growing me age keeps on showing
Like all of my old friends I meet
So I'm getting older my life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat
Yes I'm getting older my life's growing colder
Just some of the reasons I cheat

"Right On Time"

"Right On Time"


It's not my nature to be patient
I jump every river I cross
Not one for following the sensible side
And I can't count the times I've been lost.

Well, you can't see where you're goin' in the pourin' rain
When you're runnin' into walls and feeling no pain
We've all done time with the devil and I've done mine
It took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.

[Instrumental]

I may still regret some moments
But it's just part of a right
I count myself among the fortunate ones
Who made it to the other side.

Well, you go what you go through to get where you are
Lucky for me I didn't go too far
I turned around before the end of the line
Took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.

[Instrumental]

Well, you can't see where you're goin' in the pourin' rain
When you're runnin' into walls and feeling no pain
We've all done time with the devil and I've done mine
It took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.

It took a while to get here but, I'm right on time...

"Rise And Shine"

"Rise And Shine"


A baby in a manger, the town of Bethlehem
The wise men had the heart to know He was the great I Am
They crossed the desert many miles to kneel down at His feet
The star that led them seemed to tell them what had come to be

The Son's gonna rise and shine
Make the lame walk, the deaf talk, and give sight back to the blind.
Bring a light into the darkness no one can deny
As sure as there's a heaven, the Son's gonna rise and shine

At the age of thirty-three, the prophecy fulfilled
On the cross at Calvary His blood for man was spilled
The sky was black as midnight, but 'neath the dark and gloom
Voices rang and angels sang dancing 'round the tomb

The Sons's gonna rise and shine
He'll take away the keys of death, the grave will loose its bind
Hell will be defeated in three days of time
On resurrection morning, the Son's gonna rise and shine

It's been two thousand years, but the story's still the same
For those who will believe in Him and call upon His name
The Son's gonna rise and shine
Heal the sick, raise the dead, the Savior of mankind
The day will soon be dawning will be the end of time
King of kings, Lord of lords, The Son's gonna rise and shine

Jesus, Son of Glory will save your soul and mine
Brother are you ready, the Son's gonna rise and shine.

"Roamin' Wyomin'"

"Roamin' Wyomin'"


I'm roamin' Wyomin'
Dreamin' of your chestnut hair
And eyes of sparklin' blue
So I keep roamin' Wyomin'
And hopin' that my roamin'
Leads me home to you

I left Aberdeen
On a cattle drive last spring
I was just another hand
Ridin' through the old bad lands

There was dust and there was mud
There was sweat and there was blood
But after all this time
You still prey upon my mind

I'm roamin' Wyomin'
Dreamin' of your chestnut hair
And eyes of sparklin' blue
So I keep roamin' Wyomin'
And hopin' that my roamin'
Leads me home to you

Sleepin' on an old bed roll
Eatin' beans and sourdough
The days are lonely and they're long
I'm wonderin' why I hired on

We round 'em up and move 'em out
As I point my saddle south
This big Wyomin' sky
Sure is blue and so am I

I keep roamin' Wyomin'
Dreamin' of your chestnut hair
And eyes of sparklin' blue
So I keep roamin' Wyomin'
And hopin' that my roamin'
Leads me home to you

I keep roamin' Wyomin'
And hopin' that my roamin'
Leads me home to you

"Room At The Cross For You"


There's room at the cross for you
There's room at the cross for you
Though millions have come
There's still room for one
Yes, there's room at the cross for you.

There's room at the cross for you
There's room at the cross for you
Though millions have come
There's still room for one
Yes, There's room at the cross for you

"Runaway Train"

"Runaway Train"


Baby our love is, our love is,
Like a runaway train
Baby it won't stop, won't stop,
or slow down for anything
Baby it's big, so strong, love is a powerful thing

A little farther down the track.

Baby our love reminds me, reminds me, of a runaway train.

Lady our love is, our love is, like a runaway train.

Baby our love is, like a runaway train...

"Running Blind"

"Running Blind"


At a quick shop somewhere west of Albuquerque
Got a tank of gas and a cold drink and a beef jerky
The cashier she gave me a smile
So I stood there and I talk to her a while

She said where you headed I hope you get there soon
I've seen em all day long from 4am till noon
Some are running from
Some are running too
Some are running blind
Lord
Which one are you

I said it don't appear to me to be so cut and dry
You don't know me from Adam
can it be so black and white
I said I got a plan you see I got it figured out
How can you be so sure my dear what I'm all about

She said Ive stood in this window for 27 years
I can tell your cash or credit
I can tell your brand of beer

I can tell you who's a liar
And the truth is plain to see
That's your last twenty boy
and don't you lie to me

Their's a girl
In Albuquerque crying (aint she)
And your standing in a quick shop
Lying......(Aint ya)

Well
She handed back my twenty
Said you know what to do
If you drive it steady son
You'll be home this afternoon
And I hate to judge you
I don't mean to seem unkind
But there aint no use in running
If you're only running blind

Oh their aint no use in running.....
If you're only running blind....
