"Take Me In Your Arms"

"Take Me In Your Arms"



Take me in your arms and hold me
Like I've been holding you in my heart
Take me in your arms and tell me
That you've missed me since we've been apart.

You just don't know how heartsick
And lonesome I've been
Or how much I've prayed
That you'll come back again.

And take me in your arms and hold me
Like I've been holding you in my heart.

(You just don't know how heartsick)
(And lonesome I've been)
Or how much I've prayed
That you'll come back again.

And take me in your arms and hold me
Like I've been holding you in my heart...

"Take My Word"

"Take My Word"



Take my word for what I tell you
I have never lied to you
Pay no mind to what they're sayin'
I have never been untrue
Evil tongues in town
Continue to prat aloud
Their evil news
You'll have to take my word
When I tell you I love you
I love you (I love you)

The power of gossip is always strengthen
When it finds a respected ear
If you listen the chances are greater
That a thread of doubt may appear
Evil tongues in town continue...

Evil tongues in town
Continue to prat aloud
Their evil news
You'll have to take my word
When I tell you I love you
I love you I love you
Take my word I love you
Take my word I love you

"Takin' On Water"

"Takin' On Water"



You ain't nothin' but trouble, far as I can tell
Just a wasted wish in the wishin' well
But you don't know, I've been here before
I'm just one too many miles from shore

And I'm takin' on water and I'm goin' down
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now
Takin' on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground

Oh, I'm already in, in too deep
I know you won't be there to rescue me
I'm already feel it, right through my chest
I'm afraid if I taste it, I might not catch my breath

And I'm takin' on water and I'm goin' down
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now
Takin' on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground

Why is a woman always thinkin'
Just because a man is sinkin'
He's gonna drown

But I'm takin' on water, goin' down
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now
Takin' on water, there's only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground

And I'm takin' on water, goin' down
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now
Takin' on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground

Takin' on water, goin' down
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now
Takin' on water with only one way out
I gotta get my heart to higher ground

Takin' on water, goin' down
Takin' on water, that's what I'm doin' now
Takin' on water with only one way out

"Teach Me To Forget"

"Teach Me To Forget"


You taught me how to love with all my heart with all my soul I trusted you
And now you say we'll have to live apart a thing I don't know how to do
You said someday I'd find somebody new and I'll have not one regret
But stay a while if what you say is true stay and teach me to forget
[piano]
You taught me how to worship you alone and now you say you'll have to go
And people call me on the telephone just to say I told you so
I know now that I only learned to live on the night when first we met
God above will teach me to forgive but stay and teach me to forget
Please stay and teach me to forget

"Tenderly"

"Tenderly"


The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wonderin' by and lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips you took my love so tenderly
[strings - piano]
The shore was kissed by sea...

"Texas"

"Texas"



Listen to my song
And if you want to sing along
It's about where I belong
Texas

Sometimes far into the night
And until the morning light
I pray with all my might
To be in Texas

It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas

It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas

Listen to my song
And if you want to sing along
Its about where I belong
Texas

"Texas Flood"
(performed with Kenny Wayne Shepherd)

"Texas Flood"
(performed with Kenny Wayne Shepherd)



Well it's floodin' down in Texas
All the telephone lines are down
I said it's floodin' down in Texas
All the telephone lines are down
I been tryin' to call my baby
Can't get a single sound

Well the dark clouds are rollin'
And I'm standin' out in the rain
I said the dark clouds are rollin'
And I'm standin' out in the rain
Muddy water keep on rollin'
It's about to drive me insane

Well I'm leavin' you baby
And I'm goin' back home to stay
Well I'm leavin' you baby
And I'm goin' back home to stay
Where there ain't no floods and tornados
And the sun shines every day

"Thanks Again"

"Thanks Again"


Thanks for what a little love you gave to me
And thank you for my escape from misery
I searched and found heaven and then lost it again
You were mine for a little while so thanks again
I'm not sorry forgiving all my love to you
And if they ask if I still love you I'll have to say I do
My heart was dead and you've made it live then died again
You were mine for a little while so thanks again
[guitar]
My reason for existing is now reveal
I'm just here to show the world how blue a man could feel
My heart was dead and you've made it live and die again
And then they learn from my mistakes so thanks again

"That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)"

"That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)"



Up in the morning out on my job work like a devil for my pay
And that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil with my kids sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
Lord above can't you see I'm cryin' tears are in my eyes
Sendin' down my cloud with that silvery linin' take me to paradise
Show me that river lead me across take all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun I have nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
Like that lucky old sun I have nothing to do but roll around heaven all day

Up in the morning out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
And that lucky old sun
Ain't got nothing to do

Fuss with my woman

Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun
Ain't got nothing to do

Tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud
With a silver linin'
Take me to paradise

Show me that river

Take all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
I'll have nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day -
An' Like that lucky old sun
I'll have nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
