The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down


Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train
'til so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
I took the train to Richmond that fell
It was a time I remember, oh, so well

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na, .... "

Back with my wife in Tennessee
And one day she said to me,
"Virgil, Quick! Come see!
There goes Robert E. Lee."
Now I don't mind, I'm chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest

But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na, ..... "

Like my father before me, I'm a working man
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand
Oh, he was just 18, proud and brave
But a yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the blood below my feet
You can't raise a Cane back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na, ..... "

The River And The Wind

The River And The Wind


I seemed to know right from the start
Where I was goin' and how far
Like the river as she flows
I just always seemed to know

But you were born beneath the restless moon
Your heart still sings a wanderin' tune
Like the wind cannot be bound, oh
Walls would only tie you down

For awhile we traveled
In the same directions
But parted before the journey's end

I stayed within my boundaries
You sailed toward open skies
Like the river and the wind
Like the river and the wind

I always flowed between the lines
You followed roads that had no signs
The river knows where she belongs, yeah
The wind, he never finds a home

For awhile we traveled
In the same directions
But parted before the journey's end

I stayed within my boundaries
You sailed toward open skies
Like the river and the wind
Like the river and the wind

For awhile we traveled
In the same directions
But parted before the journey's end

I stayed within my boundaries
You sailed toward open skies
Like the river and the wind
Like the river and the wind

There Is A Place

There Is A Place


There is a place,
Where you can go
Where memordlemns still dance with Malgeo,
And Juliet with Romeo,
And the name of the place is love

They put there hearts,
Into a song,
But hit the parades and hero's how they come and gone,
No one touched home,
But they got old,
And the name of the place was love

I know a man that once betrayed himself by reaching to me,
That reality was not love,
But when the morning sun came whistling through listen trees,
One look and I knew,
Oe seen it in me

There is a place,

where you can go,
to feel the beast, warmth, the good that only lovers know
a place to go,
for hate to grow,
and the name of the place is love

There is a place,
Where you can go
Where memordlemns still dance with Malgeo,
And Juliet with Romeo,
And the name of the place is love

There is a place,
Where you can go
Where memordlemns still dance with Malgeo,
And Juliet with Romeo,
And the name of the place is love

Thunder Rolls

Thunder Rolls


Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's headin' back from somewhere
That he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'
In a house across town
She's pacin' by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Askin' for miracle
Hopin' she's not right
Prayin' it's the weather
That's kept him out all night
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been

Time And Distance

Time And Distance


There is a place down in Tennessee I call home
There is someone down there I call my own
At least I think he is, Lord I pray he is
Least I could do is give him a call

Our love across the miles is holding strong
With every sign of going on and on
Least I hope it will, Lord I pray it will
But there is a danger still 'cuz we know

That time and distance will do their level best
To build a wall between us and put love to the test
The doubt and temptation step in and take control
Calling on suspicion to come and take it's toll
We can't lead love down the path of least resistance
We've got to hold our own against time and distance

They say out of sight out of mind
But I say love like ours can hold the line
I'm here to say they're wrong, I hope and pray they're wrong
And we can keep love strong 'cuz we know

That time and distance will do their level best
To build a wall between us and put love to the test
The doubt and temptation step in and take control
Calling on suspicion to come and take it's toll
We can't lead love down the path of least resistance
We've got to hold our own against time and distance
We've got to hold our own against time and distance

Trail Of Tears

Trail Of Tears


She'll always get you when your guard is down
Pick you up and then drag you round
And everybody knows you'll be found
Following a trail of tears

She keeps her heart all locked in chains
You'll never have a chanse to love again
But you won't be the first my friend
You're following a trail of tears

A trail of teardrops always fall
Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through the trail of tears

You'll tell her that you need her so
But she'll just laugh and then you'll know
That you've got a lifetime left to go
Following a trail of tears

A trail of teardrops always fall
Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through the trail of tears

You're asking me how I can tell
But it's a story that I know well
Cause I've been walked all over hell
Following a trail of tears

A trail of teardrops always fall
Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through the trail of tears

A trail of teardrops always fall
Cos girls like that don't care at all
She just wants to see you crawl
Crawling through the trail of tears

Crawling through a trail of tears
Crawling through a trail of tears

Two Sparrows In A Hurricane

Two Sparrows In A Hurricane


She's fifteen and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the keys to her heart
It's just matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

CHORUS:
Like two sparrows in a hurri-cane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
and faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

There's a baby crying and one more on the way
There's a wolf at the door with a big stack of bills
They can't pay
The clouds are dark and the wind is high
But they can see the other side

go to chorus

She's eighty-three and he's barely driving a car
She's got his ring and he's got the key to her heart
It's just a matter of time
They'll spread their wings and fly

go to chorus 2

CHORUS 2:
Like two sparrows in a hurri-cane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
and faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

Wait 'til Daddy Finds Out

Wait 'til Daddy Finds Out


Somebody's drinking his whiskey
Somebody's loving on his wife
Somebody ain't gonna live till tomorrow
If daddy gets home a little early tonight

Wait 'til daddy finds out
He ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out
When he gets home tonight

Well, daddy's been a helluva father
And daddy's been working seven nights in a row
And daddy let mama get a little bit lonely
Sitting home waiting for her sugar to show

Wait 'til daddy finds out
Well, he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out, yeah
When he gets home tonight

Well, I think I hear a car coming up the drive
I'm gonna run, find me a safe place to hide
'Cause I know what's gonna hit that fan
Oh, mama you better take a look outside

One man walked in the bedroom
One man walked out of town
One man's life spared this evening
And one woman shopping for a new night gown

Wait 'til daddy finds out
Well he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out
When he gets home tonight

Now I think I hear a car coming up the drive
I'm gonna run and find me a safe place to hide
'Cause I know what's gonna hit that fan
Oh, mama you better take a look outside

Wait 'til daddy finds out
No, no, no, no, no, he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out, yeah
When he gets home tonight

Wait 'til daddy finds out
No, no, no, no, no, no, he ain't gonna like it
Wait 'til daddy finds out, wait 'til daddy finds out
When he gets home tonight

Walk Through This World With Me

Walk Through This World With Me


Walk through this world with me, go where I go
Share all my dreams with me, I need you so
In life we search and some of us find
I've looked for you a long, long time

And now that I've found you, new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

(Instrumental Break)

Walk through this world with me, go where I go
Share all my dreams with me, I need you so
And now that I've found you, new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
