"High Lonesome"

"High Lonesome"


High in a tree on the top of the hill
By the light of the lonesome ol' moon
I hear the call of a lone whipporwill
Singing his mournful tune.

Way off in the night blows the long freight train
With a roar and a ramble of wheels
My poor heart is breaking with every refrain
'Cause it sounds just like the way I feel.

And it's high lonesome
High lonesome, heartbroken and blue
High lonesome
Lil' darling, I'm lonesome for you.

[Instrumental]

Do you ever get weary roamin' around
Do you think of the sweet love we knew
Do you ever get lonesome the way I am now
Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you.

And it's high lonesome
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
It's a high lonesome
Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you.

It's high lonesome
Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you...

"Highway Junkie"

"Highway Junkie"


A hundred cups of coffee, five hundred cigarettes
A thousand miles of highway and I ain't forgot her yet
But I keep on moving, I keep moving down the line
There ain't nothing in my mirror, just a cloud of dust and smoke
But what do you expect when some old trucker's heart gets broke
Yeah, trucker's hearts gets broke

But them big wheels of rubber are gonna rub her off my mind
I'm a highway junkie, I need that old white line

Ten miles out of nashville, I was doing a hundred and one
State boy me over and he said, "Where's the fire, son?"
He said, "Where's the fire son?"
I said "Man, there ain't no fire, I'm just running from a flame
Go on and write your ticket, but I ain't the one to blame"
That county judge tried to rob me blind.

But them big wheels of rubber are gonna rub her off my mind
I'm a highway junkie, I need that old white line

So I rolled on down to Memphis
I had nothing left to lose
I wanted to hear some rock and roll, but all they played was blues
I didn't wanna hear no blues
So I went to call up Elvis and Roger Miller grabbed the phone
He said drive that 18 wheeler, boy, you're the king of the road
Said I was the king of the road

But them big wheels of rubber are gonna rub her off my mind
I'm a highway junkie, I need that old white line

But them big wheels of rubber are gonna rub her off my mind
I'm a highway junkie, I need that old white line

"Honky Tonk Moon"

"Honky Tonk Moon"


Dirt road in the twilght, woods so cool and dark.
Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks,
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me

Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues
Juke box pumping softly, lazy summer blues
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me

Through the blue smoky haze, all through the haze
Trouble seems to melt away...
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
There's no hurry, no worry, things are goin' my way

My arms around my baby, shufflin' on the floor
Cigarettes and saw-dust, squeaky old screen door.
Honk- Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.

Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright
That old Hoot Owl is calling, every-things all right

Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.
Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.

"Honky Tonky Side Of Town"

"Honky Tonky Side Of Town"


This song is originally played in the key of E
Don't you cry don't you moan
Hang your head down all night long
That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new
It's in your walk, it's in your talk
There's only one way to shake it off,
You got to get to it before it gets to you
So Put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop
There's only one thing I've found
That'll turn it all around
The blues can't do no business
On a honky tonk side of town
You gotta slip, you gotta slide

There're gonna try to nail your hide

Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chance
So get mean and get slick
You gotta pull out every trick
Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to dance

Well, you can walk that walk
And talk that talk, and boogie till you shake it off
No the blues can't do no business
The blues can't do no business
The blues can't do no business
On the honky tonk side of town

"How Great Thou Art"

"How Great Thou Art"


O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
They hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rollin' thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed.

Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art!

How great Thou art
How great Thou art!

"Hula Hands"

"Hula Hands"


Lovely hula hands, graceful as a bird in motion
Riding like the dove over the ocean, lovely hula hands
Kah Li ma na ni'ea
Lovely hula hands, telling of the rain in the valleys
And the swirling winds over Na' Pali, lovely hula hands
Kah Li ma na ni'ea

I can feel the soft caresses of your hula hands,
Your lovely hula hands
Every little move expresses,
So I'll understand all the tender meanings
Of your hula hands, fingertips that say Aloha
Say to me again I love you, lovely hula hands
Kah Li ma na ni'ea

I can feel the soft caresses of your hula hands,
Your lovely hula hands
Every litte move expresses,
So I'll understand all the tender meanings
Of your hula hands, fingertips that say Aloha
Say to me again I love you, lovely hula hands
Kah Li ma na ni'ea...

"I Am Going"

"I Am Going"


I am going where I've never been
I am going where there's no sin
There I will join my Lord and my friends
Yes, I am going where I've never been,

Don't be crying thoses bitter tears
Don't be crying 'cause I'm not here
I'll be happy the first time in years
So don't be crying those bitter tears,

I have travelled life's weary highways
And my last journey is at hand
I can hear the angels calling
And I am going where I've never been,

[Instrumental]

I have travelled life's weary highways
Now my last journey is at hand
I can hear the angels calling
And I am going where I've never been,

'Cause, I am going where I've never been...

"I Can Almost Hear Her Wings"

"I Can Almost Hear Her Wings"


Many nights, I've stood here by this window
Wondering if I'd always be alone
No one here to share this lonely bedroom
But that was long before she came along

Heaven only knows she's not an angel
But I was blessed the day she came to me
And when I close my eyes and lay beside her
I'll swear I can almost hear her wings

I never stopped to watch an evening sunset
Or tired to count the stars up in the sky
I never knew the world held so much beauty
Until I saw it through my baby's eyes

Heaven only knows she's not an angel
But I was blessed the day she came to me
And when I close my eyes and lay beside her
I'll swear I can almost hear her wings

And when I close my eyes and lay beside her
I'll swear I can almost hear her wings

"I Can See It In Your Eyes"

"I Can See It In Your Eyes"


The first time I saw you
I felt weak inside
I searched my heart and mind
For words I couldn't find
Somehow you seemed to see
What came over me that night
As a love began to grow
That would last for all time

And you said,
I can see it in your eyes
They're the windows to your soul
Sometimes they say more
Than words could ever hold
We could wait a thousand lifetimes
And never feel like this again
But when you look at me that way
I can see it in your eyes

Later on I asked your hand
And I prayed the time was right
I knelt down on one knee
And said would you be my bride?
And the sound of silence
Filled the air
As your tears fell with mine
You didn't have to say a word
For me to realize

And I said,
I can see it in your eyes
They're the windows to your soul
I see dreams come alive
And future plans unfold
I could wait a thousand lifetimes
And not find a perfect love again
But when you look at me that way
I can see it in your eyes

Many years have come and gone
And what a life we've made
How again we search for words
As the heart inside me breaks
Until death do we part
Were the vows we made
And now the time has come
But goodbye is so hard to say

I can see it your eyes
They're the windows to your soul
The light of life is burning low
Soon you're leaving me I know
The time that's left is precious dear
So please don't shed another tear
You don't have to say a word
I can see it in your eyes

I've heard you say a thousand times
I'll love you dear until I die
But you don't have to say a word
I can see it in your eyes

"I Did My Part"
(feat. Patrick Swayze)

"I Did My Part"
(feat. Patrick Swayze)



I did my part, I tried my best
I gave my heart, I took no rest
Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I'll know full well, I did my part.

When I look down that road
What do I see?
My children's, children looking
Right back at me.
When they look back at me, and I'm
Long gone away
Will they think kindly of me
When they hear me say.

I did my part, I tried my best
I gave my heart, I took no rest
Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I'll know full well, I did my part.

When I look down that hall
What do I see?
A little baby crawling
Right back to me.
I cannot walk for him
I cannot run
But I can hold his hand
And show him how it's done.

I'll do my part, I'll try my best
I'll give my heart, I'll take no rest
Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I'll know full well, I did my part.

Build a family, build a city
Build a country, build a world.

[Instrumental]

Time will tell, if I left my mark
But I know full well, I did my part.

I know full well, I did my part...
