"Prisoner Of The Highway"

"Prisoner Of The Highway"


Diesel powers 18 wheels to rollin'
As I pull it on to the Interstate.

I've got thirteen hours to make my destination
And I don't want to stop to check my weight
There won't be no sleep for me tonight
No, I've got to be hittin' Tulsa by first morning light.

I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Prison by the freedom of the road.

I've run freight out of Wheeling, West Virgina
And US Steel from Memphis
I've rode tobacco out of the Carolina's
California wines into Burmingham
Some people work just to survive, yeah
But up here in this cab that's when I'm most alive.

I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Prison by the freedom of the road.

Got a wife living back in Tennessee
And she tries to understand the way I feel
I could give my hands to another line of work
But my heart would always be behind the wheel.

Call me a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
I'm a prisoner of the highway
Prison by the freedom of the road.

Don't you know I'm a prisoner of the highway
Driven on by my restless soul
Call me a prisoner of the highway
Prison by the freedom of the road...

"Pure Love"

"Pure Love"


Pure love, baby it's pure love
Milk and honey and Captain Krunch and you in the morning
Pure love baby it's pure love
Ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreds percent pure love
Pure love You're the picture of pure love
Ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreds percent pure love
I wake up with sunshine (sunshine)
Laying beside me
And bluebirds singing right outside my window
Soft warm kisses (kisses)
Say good morning
Then I get breakfast in bed
You know you make me so happy (make me so happy with)
Pure love, baby it's pure love
Milk and honey and Captain Krunch and you in the morning
Pure love You're the picture of pure love
Ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreds percent pure love
Ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreds percent pure love
Ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreds percent pure lov-ov-ove

"Remember To Remind Me (I'm Leaving)"

"Remember To Remind Me (I'm Leaving)"


You seem to know all the ways to hurt me
You drag me down as only you can
I've choked on my pride till I filled up inside
And once again I've taken all I can stand.

Remember to remind me I'm leaving
It seems I always forget
Remember to remind me I'm leaving
Someday I may make it yet.

I tell myself that today I'll be going
I pack my bags and rehearse what I'll say
But when you walk in it's I love you all over again
And I can't go I'll put it off one more day.

Remember to remind me I'm leaving
It seems I always forget
Remember to remind me I'm leaving
Someday I may make it yet.

Someday I may make it yet...

"Rock Of Ages"

"Rock Of Ages"


Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

Could my tears forever flow?
Could my zeal no anger know?
This for sin could not atone
Thou must save and Thou alone
In my hand no prize I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling

While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I rise to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on thy throne

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let me hide myself in Thee

"Santa Claus (I Still Believe In You)"

"Santa Claus (I Still Believe In You)"


You always come around
This time of year with your big ole bag
That's full of Christmas cheer
And when it starts to snow
The little boys and girls all know
Soon they'll hear the sound of your reindeer.

Now, Sometimes grownups grow up to believe
That you don't really come on Christmas Eve
But I don't think that's true
'Cause I know I've seen you
In the sparking little eyes around the tree.

Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
There's still a kid inside of me
That still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
The hour has arrived
It's time to play ole Santa Clause tonight.

Well, I don't see how anybody could ever doubt
That there's really a Santa Claus
Especially if they've ever seen a little boy
Who just got his very first bike
Or if they've ever seen a little girl
With her arms wrapped around her baby doll,
So tight, And both of 'em waking up
Mama and Daddy way before daylight
And Grandma and Grandpa
Just looking young and lovin' life,
'Cause they know that their grandkids
Are gonna be alright
And Mama and Daddy,
they'll be waitin' up to answer ole Santa's call.
"Cause tonight their not worried about paying bills,
Lord they're just lovin' it all.

Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
There's still a kid in all of us
That still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are sleepin' tight
We're turning out the lights
And I'll be waiting up for you tonight.

Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
Santa Claus, turning out the light
Oh, Santa Claus.

I still believe in you...

"Selfish"

"Selfish"


Selfish, call me selfish
'Cause I'm thinking only of me
But I can't help it,
You're everything I need.

Selfish, yeah, I'm selfish
I want you my whole life through
And I don't care if I'm selfish
When it comes to loving you.

Well, there are people wanting this, people wanting that
Everybody's chasing who knows what
But now that I've found what I want
I'm holding on to what I got.

And if that's selfish then go on and call me selfish
And I won't deny it, yes it's true
But I don't care if I'm selfish
When it comes to loving you...

"She Loves My Car"

"She Loves My Car"


Drive all night up and down the highway
It may be a Monday but it feels like Friday
Pushing faster, pulling her close
It doesn't matter to her where we go.

She loves my car, she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car, she loves my car
I wish she loved me the way she loves my car.

All that chrome that she combs her hair in
The rearview mirror that she loves to stare in
The heat of the engine, the thrill of the ride
That's all I've got to keep her satisfied.

She loves my car, she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car, she loves my car
I wish she loved me the way she loves my car.

Don't stop, keep on rolling, stop, keep on rolling
Don't stop, keep on rolling, stop, keep on rolling
Til the dark, we're going too far.

She loves my car, she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car, she loves my car
I wish she loved me the way she loves my car.

She loves my car, she loves my car
It's just a machine
She loves my car, she loves my car
I wish she loved me the way she loves my car.

Oh, my car...

"She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Doubles)"

"She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Doubles)"


I'm having day dreams bout night things
In the middle of the after-noon
And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having day dreams about night things
In the middle of the after-noon
And every night you make my daydreams come true

Well all day long while I'm working in town
Time slows down to a crawl
When I'm not thinking about you I'm checking the clock on the wall
Then it's goodbye factory and hello loving
There's a smile across my face
Cause I'm back in the arms of your sweet love
Where my thoughts have been all day

I'm having day dreams bout night things
In the middle of the after-noon
And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having day dreams about night things
In the middle of the after-noon
And every night you make my daydreams come true

Yea, Every night you make my day dreams come true.

"Show Her"

"Show Her"


You can tell her
That you love her,
A hundred different ways.
But it won't mean as much,
As just the right touch,
At just the right time of day.

You've got to show her a little each day.
Really show her, You mean what you say.
It's not enough just to tell her you love her.
If you want her to know you've got to let it show.

When her laughter turns to tears,
For reasons she can't explain.
Remember this that just one kiss,
Was all your love needs to say.

Go on and show her a little each day.
Really show her, You mean what you say.
It's not enough just to tell her you love her.
If you want her to know you've got to let it show.

So, if you can't live without her,
You better learn to let her know how you feel.
Just remember that you hold the power,
To tell her all that words can't reveal.

You've got to show her a little each day.
Really show her, You mean what you say.
It's not enough just to tell her you love her,
If you want her to know you've got to let it show...

"Silent Night (After The Fight)"

"Silent Night (After The Fight)"


Hear the rain on the window; I never noticed it so loud
And the ticking of the clock is making wall-shaking sounds
Was that noise just the icebox or you turning on the light?
3 AM as a fool tries to tell himself that you'll be back tonight
Silent night after the fight
Who's wrong or right; that don't matter anymore
Silent night after the fight
I can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door
I never knew a heartbeat could keep someone so wide awake
And when that board creaks in the hallway, I can see my mind about to break
Lying here without you the silence is so loud that I can't sleep
But the loudest sounds of all are the teardrops dripping down my cheek
Silent night after the fight
Who's wrong or right; that don't matter anymore
Silent night after the fight
I can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door
Can't stand the quiet since you walked out the door
