"Juliet"

"Juliet"


Juliet, Juliet
You've got the smile that I can't forget
On the day we met I made a bet
Some day I'll win the love of Juliet

Long as the sand, bright as the sun
Where have you been since my life begun
Girl you're the one that I want to know
Juliet let me be your Romeo

Friendly smile a sexy walk
A charming little accent when you talk
You're an eleven on a scale of ten
Juliet I just wanna say it again

Just a little bit shy, just a little bit quiet
I don't mind, I'm in love and I can't deny it

"Keep Our World Safe"

"Keep Our World Safe"


My little boy was put to bed tired from his busy day
I tucked him in, kissed his face and said it's time to pray
As I slowly turned to leave the room I stopped to hear him say
Dad I need to talk to someone now, so you must go away

Dear God I pray please keep our world safe
You must have loved us quite a lot to make us such a pretty place
If You'll let me grow to be a man
I'll give you all the help I can, so
God please keep our world safe

They say You made this great big world in less than seven days
I know Your Son lived here a while, did You know I know His name
It's sad to think some people don't really love You at all
I'll do my best to change their minds if You'll let me grow real tall

"Lay Down Your Sword And Shield"

"Lay Down Your Sword And Shield"


Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down your sword and shield
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down your sword and shield

I'm so tired of fighting woman
This life is just unreal, (just unreal)
So lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down your sword and shield

We've been so busy fighting for so long
We're bound to lose a love that is so strong
If you take off all of that armor
And just stack it by the bed
You'd be so glad you listened to me when I said

Don't say your wrong but that I'm right
This cold wars getting hot and hard to fight
Well we must love each other
Or we'd never stayed this long (stayed this long)
So lets just take it off and get it on

"Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight"

"Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight"


Mary took to running with a travelling man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted.
She say, momma, gotta go, gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta town, tired of hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches.
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around, nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever,
That ol' highway rolls on forever.
Lord, she never would’ve done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a travelling man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances,
She say, daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelling' kind
Everywhere he's goin' such a very short time
He'll be long gone before you know it
He'll be long gone before you know it.
She say, never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight.
This is down in the swampland, anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
It's the real thing down in Louisiana.
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad
When he really got trouble like a daughter goin’ bad
It gets real hot down in Louisiana.
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches
There ain't no time for lengthy speeches.
She say, never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight.
She say, never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight.
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever,
That old highway rolls on forever.

"Let It Ride"

"Let It Ride"


You cant sit around waiting
For your path to glory
You gotta get movin to
Tell your story
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
From the littlest acorns
To the trees so tall
But where your comin from
And where your goin'
Until you get there
There ain't no way of knowing
All the love in the world
Wont find you if you don't let it
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride
All the mistakes are breaks
But only if you did it
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride
Every day's a brand new day
Fell the sun upon your face
All the love in the world
Wont find you if you don't let it
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride
All the mistakes are breaks
But only if you did it
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride
All the love in the world
Wont find you if you don't let it
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride
All the mistakes are breaks
But only if you did it
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride
Let it ride, Let it ride, Let it ride
Let it ride

"Let Me Be The One"

"Let Me Be The One"


Many's the time I have looked in the water
And had no reflection to show.
Oh, and many's the time
I have stood at the crossroad
Not knowing which way to go.
Many's the time someone lay close beside me
And I don't remember her name.
They'll say that I'm just a smile at a moment
But that was before you came.
You're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million I see
You're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million for me.
Now all of the others were places to go to
when I had nowhere to sleep.
Well I never made any promises to them
None they'd expect me to keep.
You're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million I see
You're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million for me.
Well you're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million I see
You're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million for me.
Well you're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million I see
You're the one in a million
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one in a million for me.

"Little More Like Me (The Crucifiction)"

"Little More Like Me (The Crucifiction)"


It was an April night and I was driving
Been out on the town.
The show was at the palace
So we all went on down.
We all had a ball as I recall
But now it seems absurd
As the madness raged upon the stage
He did not say a word.

He was a little weird and we all feared
He wasn't one of us.
He didn't drink, he didn't smoke
And he didn't even cuss.
You'd see him now and then with a bunch of men
Hanging round the sea
And I know I would have liked him more
If he were a little more like me.

It was a spring-ish day - the clouds were grey
It looked like it might rain.
I thought about the night before
And I was so ashamed
When I heard what they had done to him
The stranger I had known
But the way we all got down last night
It's a wonder we got home.

"Little One"

"Little One"


She sat by the fireside
Till her eyes became too heavy
And she wandered off in dreams with elves that play
Daddy found her sleeping and took her up to bed
Where she would spend the night in Santa's flying sleigh
Christmas was a whispering in her ear
Sounds that only children's hearts can hear
Little One
In the morning when you waken
You'll find your every dream has taken form
There'll be joy
Christmas day will come to life because of you
You are loved, Little One.
Mary lay and pondered
Till her eyes became too heavy
And she finally found the rest she'd struggled for
Joseph sat in silence
Watched the baby sleeping
Wondered what the future held in store
Angle voices whispered in his ear
Reaching down he drew the baby near
Little one
In the morning when you waken
The world will find that God has taken form
There'll be joy
And the earth will have new life
Because of you
You are loved, Little One
Little One
In the morning when you waken
The world will find that God has taken form
There'll be joy
And the earth will have new life
Because of you
You are loved, Little One
Little One
In the morning when you waken
The world will find that God has taken form
There'll be joy
And the earth will have new life
Because of you

"Little Things"

"Little Things"


It's the way you kiss me when we're walkin' down the street
It's the words you whisper when we're driftin' off to sleep
A certain way you touch me, the way you say "hello"
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so.
The way you pour your coffee in the early morning light
The way you call my name out in the middle of the night
How you sit for hours singing with the radio
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so.
It's not the memories or all that we've been through,
It's not the distant dreams that keep me coming back to you
It's not the promises that keep me warm at night
It's just the every day, it's just the safe and sound,
It's just our home sweet home.
And when we're old and grey now and the kids have gone away
We're alone together I may turn to you and say
There's something I forgot to tell you and by now I think you'll know
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so.
Woah woah, baby it's the little things that make me love you so.
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so, woh, woh
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so, woh, woh, woh
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so, woh, woh, woh,
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so, woh, woh, who.
Walkin' in the park, kissin' in the dark
The little things that baby makes me feel alright now.
Baby it's the little things that make me love you
Baby it's the little things that make me love you
Baby it's the little things that make me love you so.

"Live With Jesus"

"Live With Jesus"


Seen a lot of trouble at my door
Never known a day when I ain't been poor
But I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end
Hard time is all I see
I've lost the ones that were dear to me
But I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end
When these poor bones are tired and old
I meet my savior, redeem my soul
'Cause I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end
