Alabama Album

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...

Well my muscles ache and my feet are sore
Thank God it's Friday and it's almost four
And time to hit the door
I'm gonna spend the weekend on the lake
We've been working over-time and we need a break
And Honey I can't wait
We know how to spell relief
Got a good old-fashion recipe

A little T.L.C.A.S.A.P.
A little R & R for you and me
A guaranteed rat race remedy
A little T.L.C.A.S.A.P.

Bring a book to read and a change of clothes
Well I packed a cooler and a Coleman stove
And the radio
We can love in the moonlight hours away
While the crickets play
Well we work real hard six days a week
Honey this is something we both need

A little T.L.C.A.S.A.P.
A little R & R for you and me
A guaranteed rat race remedy
A little T.L.C.A.S.A.P.

A little T.L.C.A.S.A.P.
A little R & R for you and me
A guaranteed rat race remedy
I need T.L.C.A.S.A.P.

T.L.C.A.S.A.P.
R & R for you and me
T.L.C.A.S.A.P.
R & R for you and me

Katy brought my guitar back today.
I left it there to play, when I'd stay over.
And I remember all those nights
Sitting in the fireplace light,
And how she loved to hear me play;
Katy brought my guitar back today.

Katy brought my guitar back today.
I've seen it make her cry, over and over.
She told me when I wasn't there,
And she would wake up feelin' scared,
She'd hold it in her arms and be O.K.;
Katy brought my guitar back today.

We had our stormy times like anybody else;
Oh, more than once I broke her heart.
And when I couldn't tell her I was sorry by myself;
I could tell her with an old guitar.
But I'm afraid this time things have gone too far.

Katy brought my guitar back today.
I guess that means this time it's really over.
And as I sit and play it now,
The songs all seem so sad, somehow,
I wish that I'd of left it in the case
Katy brought my guitar back today.

And I remember all those nights
Sitting in the fireplace light,
And how she loved to hear me play;
Katy brought my guitar back today.

On This Side Of The Moon
(Mark Alan Springer)

Some folks looks through a telescope
And dream of flying high above the stars
They say it won't be long
‘Til we can haul on a ship to Mars
I'm just a simple man
There's a lot that I don't know
But as long as you're here with me
I just assume stay home

On this side of the moon
Things are going my way
Your love keeps shining through
Even when it rains
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'm happy standing in these shoes
With you here in my life
The world is looking bright
On this side of the moon

Sometines on a clear night
We pulled out a chair in the yard
And I'm always amazed
At the good lord can make so many stars
But I know I'd feel out of place
Longing through the milky ways
All you expect a astronaut
I'd think I'd rather stay

On this side of the moon
Things are going my way
Your love keeps shining through
Even when it rains
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
I'm happy standing in these shoes
With you here in my life
The world is looking bright
On this side of the moon

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.
Hey ump, a blind man could've made that call.

Chorus:
We like our 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.

Chorus:
We like our 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.

Cheap seats

Now the majors called up ol' what's his name.
And one more buildin' rises tall.
And suddenly we're all grown up.
And this old town 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.

Chorus:
We like our 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.

Cheap seats...

Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
Love is reckless
Let's get reckless tonight

There ain't nothin' out here but a big ol' Texas sky
There's a red sun painted across the coming night
Well, your daddy's got plans for you
and mine thinks I'm at school
They say it's reckless to chase a dream
But this town's got nothing for you and me

Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside, baby
We're gettin out of here.
I could care less where it leads us
Love is reckless let's get reckless tonight

Let's take my Thunderbird and leave tonight,
I'll keep the pedal to the floor till we see the morning light.
They can't live our lives for us,
If we let them we'll lose our love.
And love dies hard in this Texas sun,
I'd rather be reckless and on the run

Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside, baby
We're gettin out of here.
I could care less where it leads us
Love is reckless let's get reckless tonight

When you're crazy in love you gotta take a chance,
Burn the bridge and don't look back.

Turn the radio up roll the windows down
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside,
Baby we're gettin' out of here
Roll the windows down.
Turn the radio up

That Feeling
(Teddy Gentry / Greg Fowler / Ronnie Rogers)

I've made some decisions
Never not the best
Against my better judgment
I must confess
I went astray so many ways
So my dreams fall apart
And came a day I'm glad to say
I followed my heart

That feeling the one I'm feeling now
Oh that feeling that turned me all around
That feeling oh what love can do
That feeling that never let's me down
Oh that feeling that always come around
I never need another
It's gonna last my whole life through
That feeling I'm feeling for you

Looking in the mirror
Reflecting on the past
Memories or misery
That's all fading fast
These eyes over my shoulder
Oh they make me realise
I've made the right decision
The day I recognized

That feeling the one I'm feeling now
Oh that feeling that turned me all around
That feeling oh what love can do
That feeling that never let's me down
Oh that feeling that always come around
I never need another
It's gonna last my whole life through
That feeling I'm feeling for you

Sittin' alone at a table for two, when she walked in
I was down on my second love,
Swore I'd never do that again
She sat down beside me and tried to explain
That two bad loves don't spoil the whole darn game

The first love lies
The second lover hurts you deep inside
Now that you're free
This love's on me

I thought my life was at the end of its rope
Without true love, there could be no hope
Then she asked if I would stay for the night
She said, everything's gonna be all right
The sun came up the very next day
I knew what she meant when I heard her say

The first love lies
The second lover hurts you deep inside
Now that you're free
This love's on me

--- Instrumental ---

She sat down beside me and tried to explain
That two bad loves don't spoil the whole darn game

The first love lies
The second lover hurts you deep inside
Now that you're free
This love's on me

This love's on me
I'm gonna love away your misery
Soon you will see
This love's on me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This love's on me
I'm gonna love away your misery
Now that you see
This love's on me...

Clear water blues
Thinkin' of you
Sittin' here fishin'
Catchin' a few
Spendin' my days
Just tryin' to lose
These clear water blues

Clear water blues
Driftin' along
Nowhere to go
Now that you're gone
My lonely heart
Don't know what to do
With these clear water blues

Lookin' out across the ocean
Blue is all I see
And it seems like no matter
How far I go
Your memory just won't
Set me free

Clear water blues
Won't leave me alone
Keeps on remindin'
Me why you're gone
My reflection
Is showin' a fool
In these clear water blues

Clear water blues
Still thinkin' of you
Sittin' here fishin'
Catchin' a few
Spendin' my days
Just tryin' to lose
These clear water blues
These clear water blues...

Here's another morning
Soon she'll be waking up
I watched her and wonder
If there's a better word for love

So many times I've told her
It never seems enough
So I keep searching
For a better word for love

Moaning, stumbling, wondering
When I find a way
'Cos I know she knows
There's nothing more to say

Tonight when I'm out walking
I'll asked the stars above
If out there somewhere
There's a better word for love

Moaning, stumbling, wondering
When I find a way
'Cos I know she knows
There's nothing more to say

So here's another morning
Soon she'll be waking up
I guess I'll just hold her tight
'Til there's a better word for love
I guess I'll just hold her tight
'Til there's a better word for love

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

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 a light of love

When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there 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
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

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 a light of love

They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with thier mercy
In our time of need

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 a light of love
