"Forever Together"

"Forever Together"

I took you for granted
So many years
I gave you no hope
Broken promises and tears
But when I was down
It was you who was there
To Pick up the pieces and show me you care

Forever together
Til' death do we part
Forsaking all others
I'll give you my heart
Through good times and bad times
Wherever we are
Forever together
In each other's arms

You seem to know
What we had all along
And you had the love
And the faith to go on
It took some time but now I realize
That I see it all when I look in your eyes

Forever together
Til' Death do we part
Forsaking all others
I'll give you my heart
Through good times and bad times
Wherever we are
Forever together
In each other's arms
Forever together
In each other's arms

"Four Walls"

"Four Walls"

My Grandpa farmed for a livin',
Content to live the simpler kind of life.
My Grandma worked in the kitchen,
Awfully proud to be that farmer's wife.
They used to say that they'd got everything that they need,
Each mornin' they wake up...
Four walls, three words, two hearts, one love.

Here I am, ring on my finger...
Grandpa's little grandson, all grown up.
I found my rock and I plan to keep her.
I wish they were here to see the two of us.
They'd proud to know we've got everything that we need,
Each mornin' we wake up...
Four walls, three words, two hearts, one love.

With the highway twice as wide,
And the farmland sub-divided.
It's good to know that some things never change.
I'm still lovin' an I'm still livin',
By those simple words of wisdom...
Life an' love come down to just four things.

My Grandpa, Lord knows, I miss him,
An' the way that he and Grandma looked at life.
And each day, I count my blessings,
To have that kind of love here by my side.
No matter what, we know we've got everything that we need,
Each mornin' we wake up...
Four walls, three words, two hearts, one love.

Yeah, we've got everything that we need,
Between the two of us...
Four walls, three words, two hearts, one love.

"From Your Knees"

"From Your Knees"

He tore down the work of 17 years brick by brick
And stone by stone
No hammer was swingin' cause cheatin' and drinkin'
Don't need no help wreckin' a home
Ah, but when he came back through the dust and the rubble
Of what he had once called his life
He dropped to his knees in sheer disbelief of the total destruction inside

There were empty closets and empty drawers
And a tearstained note on the kitchen floor
And burning memories in the fireplace
He waited too late to say he was wrong
His house was still standing but his home was gone
Brother, you would not believe
What you can see From Your Knees

Right then and there in an old sinner's prayer
He told things he'd kept in the dark
There was no use in lying cause the man who was listening
Could see every room in his heart
Ah, he took empty whisky bottles, little black book and all
To the fire she left on the grate
Ah, sometimes a man will change on his own
But sometimes I tell you it takes

Empty closets and empty drawers
And a tearstained note on the kitchen floor
And burning memories in the fireplace
He waited to late to say he was wrong
His house was still standing he'd fight for his home
Brother, you would not believe, oh you would not believe
What you can see from your knees

"Future Mister Me"

"Future Mister Me"

I didn't come in here to fight
I didn't come to ruin your night
I came to see the future mister me
I didn't come to mess things up
I only want to wish you luck
And shake the hand of the future mister me

I only want a chance
To see the man who'll be the man to please my baby
The one who'll lay beside you
And hold you just the way I used to do
I wanna know you're happy
And I wanna know he treats you like a lady
And if I can see you're in good hands
Maybe I can make it without you

You look so happy by his side
And I'm sure you'll make a lovely bride
And he loves you, any fool can plainly see
The pain is just too much for me
So I'll just leave and let you be
All alone with the future mister me

You'll be alone here with the future mister me

"Go Tell It On The Mountain"

"Go Tell It On The Mountain"

Go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Hey go, tell it on that mountain
Jesus Christ is born.

Go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I say go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

Go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in that lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
God sent to us salvation
Born that Christmas morn.

Hey go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

I said go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
That Jesus Christ is born.

I say go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Hey go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

"Gonna Walk That Line"

"Gonna Walk That Line"

I never been too good at doing right
Done mostly wrong most all my life
I never found a place to settle down
But baby, I do believe I found it now

I'm gonna walk that line - gonna tote that barge
Gonna lift that bale - gonna work real hard
Doin' anything that you want me to
Baby I'm gonna walk that line for you

Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you
Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you
Do anything that you want me to
Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you

[Instrumental]

Well straight and narrow if ever was my past
And everlasting love never seem to last
I used to be a Tomcat out on the prowl
But baby I'm just your puppy dog now

I'm gonna walk that line - gonna tote that barge
Gonna lift that bale - gonna work real hard
Doin' anything that you want me to
Baby I'm gonna walk that line for you

Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you
Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you
Do anything that you want me to
Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you

Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you
Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you
Do anything that you want me to
Ooooo I'm gonna walk that line for you...

"Good Intentions"

"Good Intentions"

Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy
And I determined not to let her down
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children
We were the local gossip of the town.

I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others
But I wound up in jail on Chrismas day
I told her I'd be home and not to worry 'bout my brothers
When I got home my mom had passed away

And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
And mama my intentions were the best
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
But mama my intentions were the best

A little boy with big blue eyes a-beggin' to go fishing
I promised him but never took the time
Now they won't let me see him and I sit here a-wishing
Wishin' I could hold him one more time

And I hear tell the road to hell is paved with good intentions
And mama my intentions were the best
There's lotsa things in my life I just as soon not mention
Looks like I've turned out like all the rest
But mama my intentions were the best

But mama my intentions were the best

"Happy Trails"
(feat. Roy Rogers)

"Happy Trails"
(feat. Roy Rogers)

Some trails are happy ones
Others Are blue
It's the way you ride that trail that counts
Is a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you
Until we meet again
Happy trails to you
Keep smiling until then

Who cares about the clouds if we're together
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather
Happy trails to you
'Til we meet again

[Instrumental]

Who cares about the clouds if we're together
Just sing a song and bring on the sunny weather
Happy trails to you
'Til we meet again

Who cares about the clouds when we're together
Just sing a song and bring on the sunny weather
Happy trails to you
'Til we meet again...

"Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart"

"Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart"

[Intro (listen to recording for timing)]

Since the day I was led to temptation
And in weakness did let your love down
I have prayed that with time and compassion
You'd come around

[Chorus:]
I keep waiting for you to forgive me
And you keep saying you can't even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
To the hard rock bottom of your heart

Now this home we have built is still standing
It's foundation is on solid ground
Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it
Or burn it down

[Chorus]

We can't just block it out We've got to talk it out
Until our hearts get back in touch
I need your love I miss it I can't go on like this is
Hurts too much

[Chorus, repeat last two lines of chorus for ending]

"Have A Nice Rest Of Your Life"

"Have A Nice Rest Of Your Life"

There's not a mean bone in my body
I never could be unkind
I know we're not talking
But there's something on my mind
It ain't rightteous indignation
I don't plan to rant or rave
No need for us to fight and fuss
I just want to say

Have a nice rest of your life without me
I'll be proud to be a part of your history
If it makes you happy honey
Keep talking bad about me
And have a nice rest of your life without me

I know you're not heartless
Not callous and you're not cruel
And I know you don't mean to
When you treat me like a fool
I beleive that your good nature
Will emerge with someone else
If I can't be beside you
I can be beside myself.
