"If I Can Make Mississippi"
(feat. Lee Ann Womack)

"If I Can Make Mississippi"
(feat. Lee Ann Womack)



If I can make Mississippi then I'll be alright
These ole white lines are lonely
On this two-lane tonight
I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm
Till the mornin' light
If I could make Mississippi, Mississippi tonight

I headed out west to seek my fortune and fame
I sure made a mess, took it all but my name
Why I ever left I can never explain
If I can make Mississippi through this pouring rain

If I can make Mississippi, then I'll be alright
These ole white lines are lonely
And the headlights are bright
I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm
Till the mornin' light
If I could make Mississippi, Mississippi tonight

She said she would wait
Said our love was strong
I'm just so afraid
I've been gone for too long
When I walk through that gate
Will she be there or long, long gone
If I could make Mississippi
If I could make it back home
If I could make Mississippi
If I could make it back home

"If I Didn't Have You In My World"

"If I Didn't Have You In My World"



If I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think I'd just pack up and leave

It seems like I've waited a lifetime
To find someone special like you
If you ever walked out of my life
I don't know what I would do

'Cause if I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think I'd just pack up and leave

You gave me a reason for livin'
The first time I looked in your eyes
I shudder to think what might happen
If you ever told me goodbye

'Cause if I didn't have you in my world
What a lonely place my world would be
If I didn't have you in my world
I think I'd just pack up and leave

"If I Die"

"If I Die"



If I die drinking, I won't feel much pain
'Cause Lord, we all got demons that drive us all insane
I'll die just like my daddy with a bottle in my hand
So if I die drinking, that's just who I am

Well, if I die cheating in the arms of another's girl
From the fit of rage and jealousy will take me from this world
Well can't say I'd blame him, I'd prob'ly do the same
So if I die cheating, I'll live with the shame

Well if I die singing some old lonesome song
We're all drawn to heartache when someone's done you wrong
The last song I'll be playing is, 'When The Saints Go Marching In'
So if I die singing, oh, my song will never end

If I die praying to Jesus on my knees
Everyone I've ever loved will be waiting there for me
The dirt can have my body, the Lord, he owns my soul
So if I die praying, Lord, I ain't afraid to go
If I die praying, Lord, I ain't afraid to go

"If I Had My Way"

"If I Had My Way"



If I had my way, we'd love one another
If I had my way, we'd all live as brothers
There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more hungry innocent dying
I'd make it all go away
If I had my way

If I had my way
I'd carry your burden
If I had my way
No one would be hurtin'
And there'd be no more hatred and lying
No more lonely little kids crying
I'd make it all go away
If I had my way

Maybe one day the walls will come down
If I had my way, the lost would be found
Love will find a way to turn everything around

There'd be no more fussing and fighting
No more frightened little kids crying
I'd make it all go away
If I had my way

"If It Weren't For Him"
(feat. Rosanne Cash)

"If It Weren't For Him"
(feat. Rosanne Cash)



[Vince:]
If she only knew what I was thinking
If she only knew what was in head
Why can't she see my heart is breaking
She'd be mine if weren't for him

So many times I've dreamed I had her
I've called her name when I lay down
Still I can't learn to live without her
A jealous heart is all I've found

[Chorus (both):]
I see your face but you're not next to me
And I won't take what you can't give to me
This lonely place is all I hope to find
If it weren't for him then you'd be mine

[Rosanne:]
If he only knew what I was thinking
If he only knew what was in my head
Why can't he see my heart is breaking
He'd be mine if it weren't for him

[Vince:]
You'd be mine if it weren't for him

"If There's Anything I Can Do"

"If There's Anything I Can Do"


Baby I'm so sorry your world came crashing in
It's times like these you need a friend
You don't have to worry it's out of our hands
I believe that we're part of a much bigger plan

[Chorus:]
If there's anything I can do
Just call and I'll come runnin'
I will always be here for you
If there's anything I can do

Your eyes are filled with sorrow
Your heart is filled with pain
Just let the tears fall down like rain
I promise you tomorrow
The sun is gonna shine
All you can do is take it one day at a time

[Chorus]

"If You Ever Have Forever In Mind"

"If You Ever Have Forever In Mind"


You're climbing mountains, I'm on a hill
You're always running I'm standing still
You live for the moment, no future no past
I may be a fool to love by the rules and want it to last

[Chorus:]
If you ever have forever in mind
I'll be here and easy to find
If your heart isn't ready to lay down with mine
If you ever have forever in mind

The music has ended still you want to dance
I know that feeling, I can't take that chance
You live for the moment no future no past
I may be a fool to love by the rules, I want it to last

[Chorus]

"In These Last Few Days"
(feat. Amy Grant)

"In These Last Few Days"
(feat. Amy Grant)



In these last few days
You've been on my mind
We should get together
And talk about the old times
And put the past behind us
Before life slips away
I've been thinkin' about you
In these last few days

In these last few days
I have felt my age
I wish that I was younger
But time has turned the page
I sure miss the water
And the rhythm of the waves
I've been feelin' fragile
In these last few days

I have bee a faster
A husband and a son
Lookin' back is bittersweet
Now that my face has run
I've tired to be a witness
From the cradle to the grave
Time has felt so precious
In these last few days

In these last few days
I have seen the light
I'll be waiting for you
On the other side
My old friend, I love you
Is really all that's left to say
Lay down here beside me
In these last few days

My old friend, I'll miss you
But I'm trying to be brave
Lay down here beside me
In these last few days

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"



It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
With news of joy foretold,
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come,
Love's banner all unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
Over all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
Old echoes plaintive ring,
And ever over its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the Angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man at war with man hears not
The love-song which they bring;
O! hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the Angels sing.

O ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

"It Doesn't Matter Anymore"

"It Doesn't Matter Anymore"


There you go now baby
Here am I well you
Left me here so I could
Sit and cry
Golly gee what have you
Done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember baby
Last September, how you
Held me tight
Each and every night
Ooh how you
Drove me crazy
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore

[Chorus:]
There's no use in me a cryin' and I've
Done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore

[Chorus]

Now you go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever
'Til the end of time
Well I find somebody new baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore

You won't matter anymore
You won't matter anymore
