So Low
If anyone rises at 6.31
And fakes all day that
They're having their fun
They never did get it right
Since they got it so low
To anyone drinking the morning away
The afternoon will prove a mistake
They never will get it right
Now they've got it so low
And we laugh and we drink
And we teach ourselves not to think
(And we find it hard not to think)
We never did get it right
Since we got it so low
To all the faces that
Freeze for you there
In your memory when you try not to care
They never disappear down the slow road
For all of those people
Who bleed by the side
And split from their tongues
And sharpen their knives
They never will get a life now
They've got it so low
(Repeat chorus)
Cornfields and pig-tails and
Fish in the stream
The night that the boys stole
A billion dollar dream
From the high jinx school
For girls down the road
Stories are smoke trails
And some may be true
You're listening to me
But I'm talking to you
I hope you never fall from grace
If you get it so low
(Repeat chorus x2)

Wide Open Spaces
Who doesnt know what Im talking about
Whos never left home, whos never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girls dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasnt yet guessed
Chorus:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She travelled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she wont be coming back with the rest
If these are lifes lessons, shell take this test
Repeat chorus
She knows the high stakes
As her folks drive away, her dad yells, check the oil!
Mom stares out the window and says, Im leaving my girl
She says, it didnt seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know
Repeat chorus
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes
She knows the high stakes

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

A Dream For Us
Astley/roberts
Lately Ive been sleeping
Far too long in bed
Ive been dreaming of you lover
Oh the things inside my head
I dont want to wake up
Im scared to break the spell
Oh Im sleeping like a baby
I hope you sleep so well
You know Im hoping, hoping
(bridge)
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us,
Been on our minds
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us
I know theres a dream for us,
Were gonna find
(chorus)
I know theres a dream for us
I believe its true
In a word, love you
And Im hoping our dream comes true
You know Im hoping, hoping
Miracles and moonbeams, wishes on a star
These are things I dream of, I know it sounds bizarre
I see familiar faces, or is it dj vu
The one recurring vision
Is a dream I have of you
You know Im hoping, hoping
(repeat bridge)
Come on now baby
(repeat chorus)
When you find someone you find someone you love
You know you cant believe it
When you find someone you know you cant deceive it
Your love takes you high
I know theres a dream for us
Im sure theres a dreams for us

Climb That Mountain High
(don schlitz/reba mcentire)
Red sun a-rising, over the hill
Ive had enough of this desert to last from now until
Im tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth
This could be the day I finally find my way out
Chorus:
Im gonna climb that mountain high
Im gonna see whats on the other side
Im gonna kiss this town good-bye
Im gonna climb that mountain
How I arrived here, heaven only knows
Seems more like the kind of place the devil wouldve chose
To spend my life here, is more than I can do
I know somewhere down the road my dream will come true
Repeat chorus
If I stay here forever
What will I have to show
But if I make it over
Then everyone will know
Im gonna climb that mountain high

Debris Road
She nails down moon beams
And talks in double time
Stumbling down to wherever she goes
I live in the meantime
And I get frustrated
So I put my wager on Debris Road
It keeps me running down Debris Road
I'm not scared but it's somewhere I cling to
All the places I (still) wanna go
They won't cast a shadow on my Debris Road
I get frustrated looking for moonbeams
They always fall where I never go
'Cause I like the daylight and I like a good life
Running so fast down Debris Road
(Repeat Chorus)
Someone got moonfaced and someone gets tearful
Talking so much that they really don't know
Sitting up all night singing songs 'till daylight
Striking a match with the devil below
(Repeat Chorus)

At The Beginning (feat. Donna Lewis)
From the movie Anastasia...
A duet with Donna Lewis...
We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Chorus:-
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
(Repeat Chorus)
Knew there was somebody somewhere
I need love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing is going to tear us apart
(Repeat Chorus)
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'
Starting out on a journey
(Repeat Chorus)
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning
With you

End Of The Road
(t. cerney, e. king, g. rossington, j. van zant)
It was a late night show in georgia
We were on the ol highway
We know weve lost some friends
And family on the way
But you know we all feel better
And it makes it worth our time
To know our bus is rollin towards
That mason-dixon line
(chorus)
Oh we cant seem to find the end of the road
Roots never grow on the seeds that we sow
Weve still got our music and so many miles to go
You know we cant seem to find the end of the road
We know weve got a legacy thats hard to live up to
But theres still a lot of reasons
Why we play these songs for you
Its a family tradition and as long as were around
That freebird keeps on flyin and it never will come down
(repeat chorus)
Oh we cant seem to find the end of the road
Roots never grow on the seeds that we sow
We cant seem to find the end of the road
No matter how far we travel it always seems to slow
We still got our music and so many miles to go
You know we cant seem to find lord the end of the road
The end of the road

Where Your Road Leads (The Duet With Garth Brooks)
Evening, porch swing, we love to watch it rain,
To some folks, it ain't much, but we think we've got it made,
Some people dream about streets paved with gold,
Only to find a yellow brick road,
We know the way that story goes.
Chorus:
Here under the rainbow,
People pass us by,
We laugh at the way they laugh at you and I,
The world is spinning around and around,
Everybody's looking for higher ground,
But here under the rainbow dreams fall from the sky, from the sky.
We've got an old car with spare parts and a broken radio,
So many back seat memories we just can't let it go,
Sometimes we like to take it out,
Give the neighbours something to talk about,
Movin' as slow as the law allows.
Chorus
Some people dream about streets paved with gold,

Ladies Of The Road
A flower ladys daughter
As sweet as holy water
Said: Im the school reporter
Please teach me, well I taught her.
Two fingered levId sister
Said, peace, I stopped I kissed her.
Said, Im a male resister,
I smiled and just unzipped her.
High diving chinese trender
Black hair and black suspender
Said, please me no surrender
Just love to feel your fender.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.
Stone-headed frisco spacer
Ate all the meat I gave her
Said would I like to taste hers
And even craved the flavour
Like marron-glaced fish bones
Oh lady hit the road!
All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.

Just Looking For Him
(sunny russ)
She can concentrate on workin
Until her work is done
She can hold a conversation
As well as anyone
Shell fool you with sincerity
And if you didnt know her well
You would never see it
You could never tell
Chorus:
Shes just looking for him
Shes only rememberin
She might look like shes ready
To fall in love again
But shes just looking for him
She keeps one eye on the road
And one on the other lane
Lookin for his car
His memorys re-played
She searches other faces
Tryin to find that spark
But no one new can reach her
Or fill her hollow heart
Repeat chorus
Oh youd better keep your distance
Dont let her reel you in
Shes not quite herself now
How could she be when

My Boys and My Girls
vs.1 Five years old, got nowhere to go but home.
At age nine, boys still had cooties and nothin' much was goin' on.
Now 13, there's lots of drama with guys and life.
I hope that someday it will turn out right.
(chorus)
It used to be that I'd have to worry no more.
Sometimes I wish it could go back to the way it was before.
I thank God I have the best freakin' people around me in the world.
Don't know what I'd do without them; my boys and my girls.
vs.2 Sixteen, had my sweet party, and it's the middle of high school.
At 18, on my way to college; it's gonna be so cool.
When I reach 25, nothin's gonna stop me from sharin' my heart full of romance.
But right now, it's funny how the earth is still spinnin', even though it's out of balance.
(chorus)
Bridge: I hope that I won't have to cry much now.
I'd like to be happier, but I don't know how.

Ohh, Don't know what I'd do without them;
My boys and my girls.
Yeahh, I thank God for
My boys and my girls!

Fast girls are true, theyre all you really need
No one that stands more responsibility
If youre afraid bout havin to get too deep
Let me, baby, cure your insecurities
Chorus:
Fast girls, a physical attraction
Fast girls, a one on one reaction
Fast girls, true love is guaranteed
Fast girls are all you really need
Fast girls is true like angels in the mornin
Disappear without a warning
Kinda strange that I cant deny
Sweet and fast, youll never ever say goodbye

If strange desires are toying with your fate
Fast love baby will never let you wait

The Blue Train
Watching the long faces
Riding this run down track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is
Nothing but a cold hard fact
Chorus:
Im riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
Im taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Counting the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Falling from around my neck
Repeat chorus
Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown
Repeat chorus

Song X
Hey ho here we go, were on the road to never
Where lifes a joy for girls and boys and only will get better.
Hey ho here we go along the road to never.
Romeo and juliet, the doctor and his case
Without a plan they left the van and there were laid to waste.
Hey ho away we go along the road to never.
The priest was there with sandy hair, religion by his side
He saw his law was broken, the punishment was applied
Hey ho away we go along the road to never,
Hey ho away we go were on the road to never.
He held her hand and wished her well although his heart was aching,
The camera rolled, the print was bold, the holy war was breaking.
Its hey ho here we go were the road to never,
Where lifes a joy for girls and boys and only will get better.
[hey ho away we go along the road to never,
Hey ho away we go were on the road to never.]repeat

So Fine
Two drifters on the morning sky,
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
When summer breezes blow across your mind,
With you, I will walk the line.
Chorus
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand,
Everybodys singing to the band,
I want to be where the stars shine bright,
And hear sweet music on a summer night.

Sundowners well go on and on,
Well find the land of the midnight sun,
And when you look youll see for miles around,
Youll see, the world is in your hand.

Sorrow About To Fall
Theres a silence in the city
Theres nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground.
Theres a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show.
Chorus:
Theres a sorrow about to fall
Theres a sorrow about to fall.
Theres a new sound in the wires
And ears are to the ground
And everything that once was ours
Has slowly turned around.
Something happened to the seasons
Started falling with the rain
And something changed forever
We gotta find a way.
Repeat chorus
Theres people in the photographs
But they all had to run
They went away to somewhere
Beyond the setting sun.

Billy The Bum
Billy the bum lived by the thumb
And sang of the hobos delight
Hed prove he could run
Twice as fast as the sun
By losing his shadow at night
Now he loved every girl
In this curly headed world
But no one will know it seems
For two twisted legs and a childhood disease
Left billy just a bum in his dreams
Chorus:
And he was just a gentle boy
A real florescent light
Cried pennies on sunday morning
Laughs nickels on saturday night
And your bullets they cant harm him
Nor your knives tear him apart
Humiliation killed him
God bless his little heart
Now he lived all alone
In a run down home
Near the side of the old railroad track
Where the trains used to run
Carrying freight by the ton
And blow the whistle as billyd wave back
But the children around billys home town
Seemed to have nothin better to do
Then run around his house
With their tongues from their mouth
And make fun of that cripped old fool
(repeat chorus)
Now some folks they wait
And some folks they pray
For jesus to rise up again
But none of these folks
In their holy cloaks
Ever took billy on as a friend
For pitys a crime
And it aint worth a dime
To a person whos really in need
Just treat em the same
As you would your own name
Next time that your heart starts to bleed
(repeat chorus)

Boys And Girls
Boys and girls come out to play
Playing till they're old and grey
Time to leave the old school suit
Grown ups can be real cute
Do you think they're wiser than in the past?
How long do you think it's gonna last?
I don't have to prove to you
Adults can be kidding too
Chorus :
Boys and girls I
Love you dearly
But I hate to
Have you near me
Boys and girls
Boys and girls
Boys and girls
Boys and girls stay home today
Think they're more mature that way
Secret friends can soon be found
Indiscretions underground
Maybe growing up can seem more graceful
If they make their style become more tasteful
With your looks you could go far
But better watch the calendar
(Chorus)
Boys and girls I
Love you dearly
But I hate to
Have you near me
