"Hard To Say"

"Hard To Say"



A dark cloud a-hangin' out over my head
I woke up this morning to an empty bed
Why she left me is hard to say
Well, is this fate or just a bad day

Is this bad luck or just bad timin'
Or is it the lies I told, it's hard to say
Can you get back what's gone? They say so
If you get down on your knees and believe and pray
But some prayers are hard to pray

Well some things it's hard to say
Thumb up in the air and I'm a-hitchin' a ride
Plenty cars passin', but I'm on the wrong side
If I cross over, will they go my way
Is this fate or just a bad day

Is this bad luck or just bad timin'
Or is it the lies I told, it's hard to say
Can you get back what's gone? They say so
If you get down on your knees and believe and pray
But some prayers are hard to pray

Is this bad luck or just bad timin'
Or is it the lies I told, it's hard to say
Can you get back what's gone? They say so
If you get down on your knees and believe and pray
But some prayers are hard to pray

"He Sent A Carpenter"

"He Sent A Carpenter"



In a manger filled with hay
The Virgin Mother's baby lay
While shepherds stood trembling at the site
This child was the King of Kings
But God who knows and sees all things
Sent a simple man to show the world the light

He sent a carpenter
A carpenter to build His kingdom here
A carpenter
He sent a carpenter to build on faith, not fear
The proof lay in those nail-scarred hands
So every heart could understand
He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here

His father's house here on Earth
Was built on faith and by His works
Grew strong just like the rock it stood upon
Then God spoke to His only Son
And told him that his job was done
When that last nail was finally driven home

He sent a carpenter
A carpenter to build His kingdom here
A carpenter
He sent a carpenter to build on faith, not fear
The proof lay in those nail-scarred hands
So every heart could understand
He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here

The proof lay in those nail-scarred hands
So every heart could understand
He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here
He sent a carpenter to build His kingdom here

"Heart Don't Fall Now"

"Heart Don't Fall Now"


Here she comes again, but me and you
We're gonna close the door
We won't her in, we're not gonna do it, like we've done before
Stay here with me, keep a steady beat
But not to loud, she might be listening

[Chorus:]
Oh heart, don't fall now
If you do I might never bring you back around
Heart take it slow, don't let her know
Just how much we really need her now
Heart, don't fall now

She can break me down but she won't get through
If you'll be on your guard, when she reaches out
Oh, I'm counting on you, not to fall apart
Here comes that touch
We've been missing for such a long, long time
I feel you giving in

[Chorus]

You'll pull it off some how
This can be our finest hour
Ah, heart without you
I might not get through it
Don't know if I can do it

[Repeat Chorus x3]

"Heartbreak Highway"

"Heartbreak Highway"


Well I put on my overcoat and shined my walkin' shoes
I've got the sense to get out of the rain
You've got the best of me and I know I can't win
Well I've come to recognize that old familiar pain

[Chorus:]
Well I've been too long on a heartbreak highway
On the wings of love there's a heavy load
But if it can't fly I'll take the train dear
I've done enough cryin' on the shoulder
Of a heartbreak highway

You've thrown away the king of hearts leavin' you the queen
If you play other hearts there in your hand
I won't be the victim of this catch me if you can
It's hard to keep on dancin' girl if you can't hear the band

[Chorus x2]

Of a heartbreak highway

"Hey, Hey"

"Hey, Hey"



Girl you make me dizzy
The wiggle in your walk
I cant understand the funny
Way you talk

All I know is that I love you
Pretty little miss
I'm not even sure you
Really care that I exist

I don't think I'm getting through to you
Why am I acting like a kid in school hey hey
Trying to be noticed feeling like a fool
Sorry that I met you
I'm in love with you hey hey

Well if I had a nickel
For each and every time
You stopped to think about me
Id only have a dime

Still you got me hopin
That some day you'll wake up
And see that you were meant
To be my little buttercup

I don't think I'm getting through to you
Why am I acting like a kid in school hey hey
Trying to be noticed feeling like a fool
Sorry that I met you
I'm in love with you hey hey

Why don't you come to daddy
Why don't you be a good girl
You know I love you madly
I want you mine till the end of time

I don't think I'm getting through to you
Why am I acting like a kid in school hey hey
Trying to be noticed feeling like a fool
Sorry that I met you I'm in love with.
So sorry that I met you
I'm in love with you hey hey

"Hold On"

"Hold On"



Hey there remember me
The baby on your knee
The one you said never cried
It's me I'm back again
Things broke that need to mend
Am I to late for old lullabies

And you sang hold on - hold on
There are strong ties in this place
Hold on - hold on
They won't let you slip away
Mornings I once knew
Rise with the new day too
There's things that time can't take away
And that keeps me comin' 'round
So glad to stand home ground
And feel it calling out my name

Saying hold on - hold on
There are strong ties in this place
Hold on - hold on
They won't let you slip away

And you said hold on - hold on
There are strong ties in this place
Hold on - hold on
They won't let you slip away

"Homestead In My Heart"

"Homestead In My Heart"



Well it seems that we've been runnin' from are past
Life never gave us time to settle down
And you questioned whether frightened love can last
And that ole highway song is just not where it's at

The trees roll by and the white lines hold me back
From mobile to Denver there's something that they all lack
So until we find a place to make a new start
I will build you a homestead in my heart

Well I'm lookin' at you sleepin' across the seat
And the whine of the trucks are fillin' up my ears
All the highs and lows left somewhere in between
All those one night stands between Dallas and new Orleans

Well I can't offer much except the love
Of a guitar picker ain't nobody thinkin' of
So until we find a place to make a new start
I will build you a homestead in my heart

So until we find a place to make a new start
I will build you a homestead in my heart

"I Believe"

"I Believe"



I was a doubter in the power of love
I built up a wall so high to keep out the human touch
Then you came along like the savior to my soul
Now the walls are all in pieces

And Baby baby you're the reason
I believe
I believe in the power of love
I believe
I believe you're my miracle
You touched my heart in a special way
And here in your arms is where I want to stay
I believe
I believe in the love we make
I believe
I believe you're my lucky break
It's true
I believe in you

I was a stranger to the touch of your hand
I chose to hide my heart - I was a solitary man
But you came along like a hero just in time
Now the lonely spell is broken

And baby baby you're the reason
I believe
I believe in the power of love
I believe
I believe you're my miracle
You touched my heart in a special way
And here in your arms is where I want to stay
I believe
I believe in the love we make
I believe
I believe you're my lucky break
It's true
I believe in you

No more lonely nights
Now that you're by my side
Gonna hold onto you baby
And never let go
I want you
I want you to know..

I believe in the power of love
I believe
I believe you're my miracle
You touched my heart in a special way
And here in your arms is where I want to stay
I believe
I believe in the love we make
I believe
I believe you're my lucky break
It's true
I believe in you
I believe in the power of love
I believe
I believe you're my miracle
You touched my heart in a special way
And here in your arms is where I want to stay
I believe
I believe in the love we make
I believe....

"I Did It For Love"

"I Did It For Love"



I had some words with her old man
When I asked him for her hand
'Cause eye to eye, you know, we never could see
Now we're off and we're on our own
As we head in to the danger zone
To find a little pink house for her and me

We did it for love
We did it for satisfaction
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction
We finally said, enough is enough
We played it by ear, it came from the heart
We did it for love

Now Mary Beth is doin' all she can
She had her child without her man
She never cared to hear what the town folk would say
They tried to talk her out of keepin' that boy
But in this world she's found no greater joy
Now she's a proud mama
Watchin' the little man play

She did it for love
She did it for satisfaction
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction
She finally said, enough is enough
She played it by ear, it came from the heart
She did it for love

My brother fought in the Vietnam war
He left his job and his family chores
I never understood when he said he couldn't let it be
Now it's been twenty years or so
He still talks about how regular joes were somethin' man
Defendin' the land of the free

They did it for love
they did it for satisfaction
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction
They finally said, enough is enough
They played it by ear, it came from the heart
They did it for love

We did it for love
We did it for satisfaction
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction
We finally said, enough is enough
We played it by ear, it came from the heart
We did it for love

"I Got A Plan"

"I Got A Plan"



I believe this world we live in is like a big blue door
That we come into and then we pass through
Like so many have done before
And I believe a baby is a miracle
So is the love that life becomes
So begins this beautiful journey
With our Father and with His Son

Leading and guiding and giving us strength in our faith
I know it's through grace
I got a plan to be with angels
I got the sweetest promise there has ever been
I got a handful of people I love
And I want to be there with them
A seven-day saint or a seven-day sinner
It seems my soul is always on the run
But I got a plan to be with angels
I love where angels are comin' from

Sometimes I have this vision
I see that river, and I see the shore
And I walk down into the water
Till I don't want, till I don't want no more
I wake up with this peaceful feeling
In my heart, my soul and my mind
What was once a weight on my shoulders
Is now the hand of something divine

Leading and guiding and giving us strength in our faith
I know it's through grace
I got a plan to be with angels
I got the sweetest promise there has ever been
I got a handful of people I love
And I want to be there with them
A seven-day saint or a seven-day sinner
It seems my soul is always on the run
But I got a plan to be with angels
I love where angels are comin' from

I got a plan to be with angels
I love where angels are comin' from
