"Blessed Assurance"

"Blessed Assurance"

Blessed assurance
Jesus is mine
Oh what a foretaste
Of glory divine.

Heir of salvation
Purchase of God
Born of his spirit
Washed in his blood.

This is my story
This is my song
Praising my savior
All the day long.
This is my story
This is my song
Praising my savior
All the day long.

Perfect submission
All is at rest
I in my savior
Am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting
Looking above
Filled with his goodness
And lost in his love.

This is my story
This is my song
Praising my savior
All the day long.
This is my story
This is my song
Praising my savior
All the day long.
Praising my savior
All the day long

"Blue Mesa"

"Blue Mesa"

Blue mesa, land of the Sioux and Crow
Blue mesa, no matter where I go
You will always be home, sweet, home to me
Blue mesa

Moonlight shines as
Purple shadows fall
Silence broken by the lonesome
Coyote call

On blue mesa, land of the Sioux and Crow
Blue mesa, no matter where I go
You will always be home, sweet, home to me
Blue mesa

Herds of buffalo
Graze peacefully
I can almost hear
Those black hills callin' me

To blue mesa, land of the Sioux and Crow
Blue mesa, no matter where I go
You will always be home, sweet, home to me
Blue mesa

Ridin' high
Above the prairie floor
With every passin' day
I swear I love you more

Blue mesa, land of the Sioux and Crow
Blue mesa, no matter where I go
You will always be home, sweet, home to me
Blue mesa

Blue mesa, land of the Sioux and Crow
Blue mesa, no matter where I go
You will always be home, sweet, home to me
Blue mesa
You will always be home, sweet, home to me
Blue mesa

"California Blues"
(originally by Merle Haggard)

Well I'm goin' to California where they sleep out every night yeah
I'm goin' to California where they sleep out every night
I'm leaving you mama cause you know you don't treat me right.

Let me tell you something mama that you don't know
Let me tell you something good gal that you don't know
Well I'm a do-right papa and got home everywhere I go yeah.

I got the California blues and I'm sure gonna leave you here Lawd Lawd
I got the California blues and I'm sure gonna leave you here
I may ride the blinds I ain't got no railroad fare.

Listen to me mama while I sing this song
Listen to your daddy sing you this so lonesome song
You got me worried now but I won't be worried too long.

I got the California blues and I'm sure gonna leave you here Lawd Lawd
I got the California blues and I'm sure gonna leave you here
I may ride the blinds I ain't got no railroad fare...

Don't mistake me for somebody,
You think maybe just might give a damn.

You already think I'm crazy,
So common baby, try to hurt me if you can.

Go on and cuss me out,
Go on and slam that door.

You can keep on tryin',
To see me cryin',
Swear I ain't lyin',
That well is all dried up.

Knock me over if it makes yah happy.
Girl, it's all your fault that I'm this tough.

"Card Carryin' Fool"

"Card Carryin' Fool"

It takes all kinds
To keep this world in place
It's a fragile balance
That let's us swing through space
So everybody's
Got their job to do
And girl I guess
The job I've got
Is cryin' over you

And I should get a gold watch
For all the years I gave
And I should get some interest now
For all the dues I've paid
I don't know why I love you,
It's just the job I do
I'm your registered, certified
Card carryin' fool

If I was in the army
There'd be medals that I'd get
If I ws in the circus,
At least I"d have a net
If I was an electrician,
I might could find a spark
And if I could be a surgeon,Girl,
I might could find your heart

But I keep bending over backwards
Just to be your limbo man
while you drop that stick another notch
Every chance you can
I don't know why I love you,
It's just the job I do
I'm your registered, certified
Card carryin' fool

Ah, if I was a gambler
I might have better luck
If I was mathematician
I could make it all add up
But when it comes down to it
All I want to do
Is be your registered, certified
Card carryin' fool.

Yeah, when it comes down to it
All I want to do
Is be your registered, certified
Card carryin' fool...

"Come See About Me"
(feat. Conway Twitty)

"Come See About Me"
(feat. Conway Twitty)

Somebody listen, I'm a voice in the distance cryin'
Come see about me

I am a stranger in a world filled with anger
Come see about me

I'm gettin' weary tryin' to carry this load all by myself
I'm bone tired and fallin', can't you hear me callin'
I need somebody's help

I am a young man growin' wild across this land
Come see about me

I'm fourscore and twenty and I ain't got anybody
Come see about me

I'm somebody's children alone and forsaken,
a wave that's lost at sea
I'm right here behind you,
I'm all around you, so slow down
Turn around and you will see

I'm your mother, your sister and your brother
Come see about me

I am a baby, my mother ain't no lady
Come see about me

I am your maker, the giver and the taker
Come see about me

"Cowboy Boogie"

"Cowboy Boogie"

Well, He swings in a saddle
He's a real gone cat
With his spanish spurs
And his buckaroo hat
His camps in an old log shack
Way back in the sticks.
He loves ta tie 'em down
And burn their hide
And there ain't no rough string
He can't ride
But cuttin' the rug is how he
Gets his kicks.

He does the cowboy boogie
The cowboy way
The cowboy boogie
Come a ti-i youpy, youpy yi i youpy, youpy ya.

So it's adios to his old payoose
And down the road to turn it loose
At an old dance hall
He cuts a gal now straight
Spins her sideways through the herd
He's buckin' like he's being spurred
Twistin' and rockin' like a bronc
Comin' outta the gate.

He does the cowboy boogie
The cowboy way
The cowboy boogie
Come a ti-i youpy, youpy yi i youpy, youpy ya.

[Instrumental]

Well, He swings in a saddle
He's a real gone cat
With his spanish spurs
And his buckaroo hat
A tree frog walkin' fool
He ain't no dude
The Fred Astaire of hill and range
Two parts cool and one part strange
He's the best out west at any Elvis tune.

He does the cowboy boogie
The cowboy way
The cowboy boogie
Come a ti-i youpy, youpy yi i youpy, youpy ya.

He does the cowboy boogie
The cowboy way
The cowboy boogie
Come a ti-i youpy, youpy
A yi i youpy, youpy.
Come a ti-i youpy, youpy
A yi i youpy, youpy.
Come a ti-i youpy, youpy
yi i youpy, youpy ya...

"Day One"

"Day One"

Cold house
Just before dawn
Oh my God
This feels so wrong
Clouds roll in
And cover the sun
A new day begins
Day one

Day one
And it already feels like forever
It's over and done
So what can I do?
Day one
Of putting my life back together
Day one
Of learning to live without you

Gold ring
There on the bed
Oh my God
She meant what she said
No place to hide
No where to run
Just dying inside
Day one

Day one
And it already feels like forever
It's over and done
So what can I do?
Day one
Of putting my life back together
Day one
Of learning to live without you

Day one
Of learning to live without you

"Deeper Than The Holler"

"Deeper Than The Holler"

Well I've heard those city singers singin' 'bout how they can love,
Deeper than the oceans, higher than the stars above.
Well, I come from the country, and I know I ain't seen it all.
But I heard that ocean's salty, and the stars, they sometimes fall.
And that would not do justice to the way I feel for you.
So I had to sing this song about all the things I knew.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.

From the back roads to the Broadway shows with a million miles between,
There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing.
And every one is different, and every one's the same.
And this is just another way of sayin' the same thing.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.

My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.
A Whippoorwill

"Dig Two Graves"

"Dig Two Graves"

I promised to, on the day we wed
Till death do us part, yeah that was what I said
But things have changed, senses I made that vow
The love I felt for you is so much deeper now
So I've made up my mind

When the family sings, sweat bye and bye
They might as well go on and tell us both good-bye
Because you've come to be, my heart and soul
The air I breathe or reason there's live in these bones
So I've made up my mind, girl if it's your time

They can dig two graves, just carve one stone
Because without you here, I won't last long
Your loves the blood, running through these vines
So if he calls you home, they can dig two graves
Sure let the good lord one ask me to be that strong
Because is kills me just to think about you being gone

They can dig two graves, just carve one stone
Because without you here, I won't last long
Your loves the blood, running through these vines
So if he calls you home, they can dig two graves
Tell the lord above, no need to wait
So if he calls you home, they can dig two graves
