Married her up by the light of the moon.

Weve been there about a week.

Goin down to cripple creek to have some fun.
Goin down to cripple creek, Im goin on a run.
Goin down to cripple creek to have some fun.

Jump on a man like a dog on a bone.
Roll my pants up to my knees,
Cross on cripple creek a-when I please.
Chorus: Im a-goin down to cripple creek, Im goin on a run,
Goin down to cripple creek to have some fun.
Goin down to cripple creek, Im goin on a run.
Goin down to cripple creek to have some fun.

Cripple Creek Ferry
Hey, hey cripple creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the cripple creek ferry
The waters going down its a mighty tight squeeze.
All alone the captain stands
Hasnt heard from his deck hands.
The gambler tips his hat and walks towards the door.
Its the second half of the cruise.
And you know he hates to lose.
Hey, hey cripple creek ferry
Butting through the overhanging trees
Make way for the cripple creek ferry
The waters going down its a mighty tight squeeze.

Going To Acapulco
I'm going down to Rose Marie's
She never does me wrong.
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song.
It's a wicked life but what the hell
The stars ain't falling down.
I'm standing outside the Taj Mahal
I don't see no one around.
Goin' to Acapulco
Goin' on the run.
Goin' down to see fat gut
Goin' to have some fun.
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun.
Now, whenever I get up
And I ain't got what I see
I just make it down to Rose Marie's
'Bout a quarter after three.
There are worse ways of getting there
And I ain't complainin' none.
If the clouds don't drop and the train don't stop
I'm bound to meet the sun.
Goin' to Acapulco
Goin' on the run.
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun.
Yeah
Goin' to have some fun.
Now, if someone offers me a joke
I just say no thanks.
I try to tell it like it is
And keep away from pranks.
Well, sometime you know when the well breaks down
I just go pump on it some.
Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places
And just set there waitin' for me to come.
Goin' to Acapulco
Goin' on the run.
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun.
Yeah

Country Comfort
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
As the village children fight each other for their share
And the six-o-nine goes roaring past the creek
As Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw Grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really doing fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if sometime I could fix her barn
The poor old girl she needs a hand to run that farm
Chorus:
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
It's just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Oh it's goin' back home
Down at the well they've got a new machine
The foreman says it'll cut manpower by fifteen
"Hey but that ain't natural" old Clay would say
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Whoa, it's goin' back home
Hey take me back home
And a truck, and a truck that's goin' back home
Any truck

Goin Thru The Motions
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Actions have been justified
All is compromised
Looking for approval there
In someone elses eyes, oh
Dodging all you really are
Becomes your greatest task
Acting out your lonely part
You hide behind your mask
Bridge:
Never true to yourself
Knowing well this is not like you
Fooling yourself
Youre just living a lie
Chorus:
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Victim of the circumstance
Prisoner of the shame
But its the double standard life
That keeps you in the game
Taken by your own disguise
But when its wearing thin
Youll do anything it takes
To impress your friends
Bridge:
Never true to yourself
This is not what you want to be
Fooling yourself
Youre just living lie

Somethins Goin On

The spirit of war is all around us
n everybody knows somethins goin on
Fasten your seat belts - say goodbye to your mothers
Cos everybody knows somethins goin on
Nuclear missiles - cover to cover
Everybody knows somethins goin on
The world is a subway - all the leaders are muggers
n everybody knows somethins goin on
Well I say
Roll up to the party - welcome to the show
Well make you live in fear - then well make you disappear
Somethins goin on n everybody knows
What you got - what you got
Everybody knows somethins goin on
Most people got nothin - a few got the lot
n everybody knows - its still goin on
Well I say
Roll up to the circus - welcome to death row
Just do what we say - then well blow you all away
Somethins goin on n everybody knows
What about hunger... are they just another number?
Were all an endangered species
n everybody knows - its still goin on
Well I say
Welcome to thanksgiving - what we reap is what we sow
Well watch you die in vain from the safety of our plane
Somethins goin on n everybody knows

Wayfaring Stranger
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelin' through a world of woe
Ain't no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which i go
I'm goin' there to see my father
Said he'd meet me when i come
I'm only goin' over jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I know dark clouds gonna gather 'round me
I know my way it'll be rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lie just before me
Where god's redeemed did vigils keep
I'm goin' there to see my loved ones
Gone before me one by one
I'm only goin' over jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
This body rests in the orchard's yard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to god
I'm goin' there to see my savior
To dwell with him no more to roam
I'm only goin' over jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I'm only goin' over home

Still Goin' Strong
Through the years,
We've had our ups and downs.
Ain't been a block
We haven't been around.
We've been one step up,
And two steps back,
But our love's gotten
Right back on track.
We're still goin' strong,
Like a freight train
Burning on a midnight run.
We're rolling right along,
Still goin' strong.
In tryin' times,
When push came down to shove,
We'ld pull together,
And show what we're made of.
With a lot of love,
And a little faith,
We moved every mountain
In our way.
We're still goin' strong,
With a fire thats hotter
Than the deset sun.
We're still turnin' on,
Still goin' strong.
It's still as good
As it's ever been.
Our love's just gettin'
It's second wind.
We're still goin' strong,
Two hearts poundin'
Like a rock and roll drum,
Lovin' all night long,
Still goin' strong.
We're still goin' strong,
Like a freight train
Burning on a midnight run.
We're rolling right along,
Still goin' strong.
Still goin' strong,
Goin' strong.
Still goin' strong,
Goin' strong.
Still goin' strong,
Goin' strong...

Where Ya Going?
Hello my friend
How long have you been dying
To start out again
Lets turn around and see the truth for once ?
See what you are trying for
Now where ya goin?
Now where ya goin?
Meet me now
Where ya goin?
Cause everyone will follow you
Where ya goin?
Where ya goin?
Hello my friend
I'm seeing new horizons
I'm dreamin of the end (?)
Lets burn it down and spread the ash around
Nothin here to guide us
Now where ya goin?
Now where ya goin?
Lead me now
Where ya goin?
Cause everyone will follow you now
Yeah you should be dancin'
If you have the chance that
is what we all will be doin'
Yeah into the future
Cut it all loose now
instead you hold a steady line
It's not the answer
will you take a chance on
what we all should be doin' here
so many to lean on
isn't my own reason
to why you hold the steady line
Now where ya goin?
Now where ya goin?
Leave me high
Where ya goin?
Cause everyone can take it on
Can take it away if they want to

Something Fishy
There must be something fishy going on
You said you were goin on a fishin trip with some old friend
You said that youd be home tonight somewhere around ten
Well here it is, its two oclock and youre still not at home
I think theres something fishy goin on
I think that Im a sucker thats swallowing your line
I try to make myself believe that its all in my mind
But you never asked me if Id like to go along
So there must be something fishy goin on
Chorus:
Theres something fishy goin on
On these fishin trips youre goin on
Im gettin tired of stayin home alone
Some night when you come home and discover that Im gone
You can bet theres something fishy goin on
I guess some large-mouth bass left that lipstick on your shirt
I dont think youre a fisherman, honey
I think youre a flirt
Well if youre goin fishin then why dont you bring em home
I think theres something fishy goin on

Up On Cripple Creek
Up on cripple creek
When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the mississippi river
To the gulf of mexico
To lake charles, louisiana
Little bessie, a girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If theres anything she could do
{refrain}
Up on cripple creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I dont have to speak she defends me
A drunkards dream if I ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show
Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag to win came around the track
Sure enough he had won
{refrain}
I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little bessie half
And she tore it up and blew it in my face
Just for a laugh
Now theres one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like to see
Thats when that little love of mine
Dips her doughnut in my tea
{refrain}
Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had spike jones on the box
She said, I cant take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk
Now that just gave my heart a fall
To the bottom of my feet
And I swore as I took another pull
My bessie cant be beat
{refrain}
Now, its hot in california
And up north its freezing cold
And this living off the road
Is getting pretty old
So I guess Ill call up my big mama
Tell her Ill be rolling in
Bet you know, deep down, Im kinda tempted
To go and see my bessie again

Goin Downtown
I could cool out
I couls hang loose
I could lay my head back in this comfortable noose
I could watch the paint dry
On these rented walls
Or I could run wild with the first wild thing that calls
Goin downtown . . . goin downtown
Goin downtown . . . to stand round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin downtown . . . and Ill see you there
But I saw you laugh
At that girl having fun
To show some emotion . . . just isnt done
You can look but dont touch
Thats as far as it goes
Youre only as good as the cut of your clothes
Goin downtown . . . goin downtown
Goin downtown . . . to stand round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin downtown . . . and Ill see you there
