Angels Among Us
I was walking home from school on a cold winter day
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, oh but he was standing there
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

(Chorus)
Oh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give
To guide us with the light of love

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand
And ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

(Repeat Chorus)

They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
To grace us with their mercy
In our time of need

(Repeat Chorus)

To guide us with a light of love






Anytime


Anytime you wanna love me
You can love me anytime
Early mornin',late at night
Anytime, the time is right

Oh if you, want to hold me
Well you know that you can
Anytime, anytime, I'm your man


Baby you're somethin'
You're somethin' else
I'll keep your lovin'
All to myself
I live for the moment
When it's just you and me
Baby just you and me


Anytime you wanna love me
You can love me anytime
Cause I'm ready and I'm willin'
Name the place, Name the time
December through November
Just give me your hand
Anytime, anytime, I'm your man

Hold me closer, close as you can
Whisper to me, now what's your plan
You can trust me, I understand
Baby understand

Anytime you wanna love me
You can love me anytime
Or if you want to hold me
Well you know you always can
Anytime, anytime, I'm your man

As Right Now


You're still the lady of my dreams
And you're still my high school beauty queen
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I have never loved you so much

As right now, as right now

You're still my actress on the screen
Still the leadin' lady in my dreams
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I'll still never love someone so much

As right now, as right now

As right now

You're still the one I'm with when I'm alone
And you're still the lover callin' on my phone
To me it's still magic when we touch
And I will never love someone so much

As right now, as right now

As right now, as right now

As right now, as right now

      AS RIGHT NOW!

A Very Special Love
She said I spent eight years in California
That's the reason why I talk the way I do
But I've heard how southern men respect the ladies
And I'd like to meet a gentle man like you

Well I spent most o' my life in Alabama
That's the reason why I talk the way I do
And I've always had this thing for suntanned ladies
And I'd really like to spend some time with you

And we walked on the beach till early mornin'
And we watched as the sun came up again
And somehow we both shared the feelin'
That we'd just made a very special friend

Tomorrow I'll go back to Alabama
And you'll fly from Atlanta to LA
And I'll get back to takin' care o' business
And you'll go back to starrin' on the stage

But we'll think of the beach come Monday mornin'
When both of us get back to push and shove
And somehow we will always remember
The night we shared a very special love

I spent most o' my life in Alabama
That's the reason why I talk the way I do
I know we shared a very special friendship
The night we made a very special love

Between The Two Of Them
They married back in thirty two
And they were young and love was new
And every day the feelin' grew
Between the two of them

When work got scarce and times got bad
The hope would chase away the sad
And hope was sometimes all they had
Between the two of them

The forties came and the fifties went
A mortgage note replaced the rent
And they made the most of each day spent
Between the two of them

Their children all turned out just fine
So he retired at sixty nine
Left with oh so little time
Between the two of them

Today I braved the graveyard rain
Placed a rose between their names
Now that's the most that ever came
Between the two of them

And though I miss them both so much
His crooked smile her gentle touch
And the pleasure of just growin' up
Between the two of them

Born Country
Clear creeks and cool mountain morning's
Honest work out in the fields
Cornbread in my mama's kitchen
Daddy sayin' grace before the meal
Family ties from deep in this land
And I'm never very far from what I am

I was born country and
That's what I'll always be
Like the rivers and the woodlands
Wild and free
I got a hundred years o' downhome
Runnin' through my blood
I was born country and this country's
What I love

Moonlight and you here beside me
Crickets serenadin' in the yard
What more could two people ask for
Layin' here and lovin' 'neath the stars
This is where I wanna raise my kids
Just the way my Mom and Daddy did

I was born country and
That's what I'll always be
Like the rivers and the woodlands
Wild and free
I got a hundred years o' downhome
Runnin' through my blood
I was born country and this country's
What I love

I was born country and
That's what I'll always be
Like the rivers and the woodlands
Wild and free
I got a hundred years o' downhome
Runnin' through my blood
I was born country and this country's
What I love

I was born country

Cheap Seats
This town ain't big, this town ain't small
It's a little of both they say
Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A

We sit below the Marlboro man, above the right field wall
We do the wave all by ourself
Hang ump, a blind man could've made that call

(Chorus)
We like beer flat as can be
We like our dogs with mustard and relish
We got a great pitcher what's his name
Well, we can't even spell it
We don't worry about the pennant much
We just like to see the boys hit it deep
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats

The game was close, we'll call it a win
Go off to toast the boys again
That local band is back in town
They got a kinda minor league sound

They're not that bad, they're not that good
But all in all it's understood
We wanna dance, they wanna play
We wouldn't have it any other way

(Repeat Chorus)

Cheap seats

Now the majors called up, oh, what's his name
And one more buildin' rises tall
And suddenly we're all grown up
And this old town's not quite so small
But I'll always miss the middle size town
In the middle of the middle-west
With no name pitchers and local bands,
And mustard and relish and all the rest

(Repeat Chorus)

Cheap seats

Close Enough To Perfect
Sometimes her morning coffee's way too strong
And sometimes what she says she says all wrong
Right or wrong she's there beside me like only a friend would be
And that's close enough to perfect for me

Now she's been known to wear her pants too tight
And drinking puts her out just like a light
Heaven knows she's not an angel but she'd really like to be
And that's close enough to perfect for me

Chorus:
She kisses me each morning
And smiles her sleepy smile
And she don't have to say it
I can see it in her eyes
Don't you worry about my woman
Or what you think she ought to be
She's close enough to perfect for me

Well sometimes she gets down and starts to cry
But then again a lady has a right
She's everything I ever wanted she's all I'll ever need
She's close enough to perfect for me

Chorus

Oh, she's close enough to perfect for me

Dancin' Shaggin' On The Boulevard

Well the Magic Attic's where the music rolls
And the Army-Navy's got ol' Jackie Soul
Down on Peaches Corner there are Good Ol' Boys
And Mother Fletchers makin' lots of noise
They're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Well the Tams are playin' at the Port-O-Call
And the Drifters underneath the Boardwalk
At the Sapnish Galleon and Ol' Fat Jacks
Jukebox playin' and the place is packed
You bet they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
You know they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Got the top down and the traffic's slow
Sun Fun Week and, we all go
Where the girls are sunnin' and lookin' good
Well I never met 'em but I wish I could
And we'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
We'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Well the Embers singin' up on Ocean Drive
And the Castaways are gettin' loud tonight
At the Electric Circus they all getin' down
And the Carousel's spinnin' round and 'round
See them dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
I see 'em dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Well I'm hangin out down at Sloppy Joes
They may doze but they never close
And the Bama Boys at the Bowery
They can't dance but they play for free
But they like dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They know dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They wrote dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

Dixieland Delight
Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway,
One arm on the wheel
Holdin' my lover with the other
A sweet, soft, southern thrill
Worked hard all week
Got a little jingle on a
Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn't feel better
I'm together
With my Dixieland Delight

Chorus:
Spend my dollar
Parked in a holler
'neath the mountain moonlight;
Hold her uptight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin'
On a Mason Dixon night
Fits my life, oh, so right
My Dixieland Delight

Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover
Redtail hawk settin' on a limb
A chubby old groundhog
Croakin' bullfrog
Free as the feelin' in the wind
Home grown country girl
Gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven livin' in heaven
With my Dixieland Delight.

Chorus

Repeat first verse

Down Home

Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on a state road map
That's where I was born & where I'll die
Things move at a slower pace
Nobody's in a rat race
And these days that's a special way to fly

Chorus

Down Home where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
Those of us raised up Down Home

In the corner of a hardware store
Gathered round a checker board
Old men telling lies & crowning kings
Kids drivin round the old town square
Tops rolled down in the cool nite air
Go & see what's shakin at the Dairy Queen

Chorus

When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
But now I wanna see my children raised

Down Home
Down Home
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
Those of us raised up Down Home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
Those of us raised up Down Home

Down Home

Way Down Home
Down Home
Down Home
Way Down Home
Down Home

Face To Face

Run your fingers through my hair
Softly kiss my lips
Hold me close in your embrace
And love me face to face


Face to face
Heart to heart
Body to body
Tingling tangled feelings
Lovers face to face

I'll caress your body
And hold you close to me
I'll slide my hands
Around your waist
And love you face to face


Face to Face
Heart to heart
Body to body
Lips on lips
Arm and arm
Body to body
Tingling tangled feelings
Lovers face to face


Sofly say you love me
As you make love to me
No one else can take your place
We happen face to face
