I'm leavin'
Don't even try and slow me down
Yeah I'm leavin'
Gonna travel out of this town
I'm tired of grieving
Misery is all I've found

Tears
Can't dry the tears from my eyes
Lonesome teardrops
All I do is sit and cry
Gotta stop the teardrops
And shake the memories from my mind

All you do is tie me down
These ropes have got me bound
And I can't take the strain
That's why I'm grieving
This misery and pain
Are driving me insane
And I've had a change of heart
So start believing

That I'm leavin'
Don't even try and slow me down
Yeah I'm leavin'
Gotta travel out of this town
I'm tired of grieving
Misery is all I've found

Heartache
It's a sad and lonesome time
Painful heartache
Oh relief I can not find
I gotta mend the heartbreak
Of these old blues I'll leave behind

All you do is tie me down
These ropes have got me bound
And I can't take the strain
That's why I'm grieving
This misery and pain
Are driving me insane
And I've had a change of heart
So start believing

That I'm leavin'
Don't even try and slow me down
Yeah I'm leavin'
Happiness is where I'm bound
No more grieving
Goodbye to you I'm out of this town

I'm leavin'
I'm leavin'

. . .


I'm not that lonely anymore
I hardly ever walk the floor
I don't cry every night like I used to

No, I don't wear your stupid ring
I wouldn't hang on to the thing
It's the last thing I have to hold on to

And if you believe that you believe anything
So while I've got your undivided attention
I think I discovered the truth
One of us is the world's biggest fool

I took your pictures off the wall
There's nothing left 'round here at all
To remind me of when we were together

Yeah, life is perfect everyday
There ain't a thing that I would change
And I hope that it stays like this forever

And if you believe that you believe anything
So while I've got your undivided attention
I think I discovered the truth
One of us is the world's biggest fool

Yeah, I blame you and you blame me
That's what they said in therapy
Now we say that we're through with one another

I hope the dog is doing fine
No, I still haven't changed my mind
And you know I love livin' with my mother

And if you believe that you believe anything
So while I've got your undivided attention
I think I discovered the truth
One of us is the world's biggest fool
Oh, yeah, I think I discovered the truth
One of us is the world's biggest fool

I never thought I'd find the love
I'd searched for all my life
Someone to share and comfort
I envisioned in my mind
And when I wasn't looking
You appeared before my eyes
Just you and me forever
And today I'll make you mine

Someone so strong and special
That brightens every day
A shoulder to cry on
A friend in every way
Passionately waiting
To start my life anew
These vows we speak before us
I give all my love to you

A loving smile each morning
Arms to hold me tight
Lips to kiss the pain away
When things don't go just right
Our love will see us to the end
When God says we will part
But until then you'll be the one
Each day I'll share my heart

Someone so strong and special
That brightens every day
A shoulder to cry on
A friend in every way
Passionately waiting
To start my life anew
These vows we speak before us
I give all my love to you

These vows we speak before us
I give all my love to you

Been working hard to keep our lives in check
Most times everything just seems a wreck
The house is turned upside down
The daughter's boyfriend hangs around
But all-in-all when you do an evaluation

We've gotta good thing going you and me
It's hard to see how lucky
Between bills, jobs, and family
We've been through things both good and bad
Once lost everything we had
But our love always seems to see us through
We've gotta good thing going me and you

I know you thought of leaving once or twice before
It's not the life you intended or your cut out for
A wife that's home to cook and clean
Well hunny that sure ain't me
But we made it work and it deserves a celebration

We've gotta good thing going you and me
It's hard to see how lucky
Between bills, jobs, and family
We've been through things both good and bad
Once lost everything we had
But our love always seems to see us through
We've gotta good thing going me and you

You called today and said let's take a break
From the day-to-day and ever constant rat race
Well your call was just in time
I thought I was gonna lose my mind
Now we're on our way to some rest and relaxation

We've gotta good thing going you and me
It's hard to see how lucky
Between bills, jobs, and family
We've been through things both good and bad
Once lost everything we had
But our love always seems to see us through
We've gotta good thing going me and you

We've been through things both good and bad
Once lost everything we had
We've gotta good thing going me and you

. . .


You told me you loved me
On our wedding day
And promised to always be true
But it wasn't long
Till you were out looking
Searching for somebody new

With your dancing and drinking
Out running around
Destroying our love and our vows
You turned the gossip
Into cold honest truth
And made us the talk of the town

There's nothing like the scorn of a lover
It's a hurt that breaks heart, mind, and soul
He'll poison your life
With deception and lies
And leave you so lonely and cold

I had such visions
Of being your wife
I thought all my dreams had come true
It felt like I found
The end of the rainbow
The moment that I said I do

You turned love to hatred
With your wild wicked ways
All the pleasures that money can buy
Now I'm left to live
With the heartache and rumors
Left here to grieve and to cry

There's nothing like the scorn of a lover
It's a hurt that breaks heart, mind, and soul
He'll poison your life
With deception and lies
And leave you so lonely and cold

There's nothing like the scorn of a lover
It's a hurt that breaks heart, mind, and soul
He'll poison your life
With deception and lies
And leave you so lonely and cold

From what I've been hearing dear you really got it made
You've got a lot of girls on your lovers hit parade
But if I could be your number one, well, I don't know what I'll do
I wanna be pulled up to the top I'm so in love with you

On your hit parade of love I know I'll never stop
I've got a long long way to climb before I reach the top
But if I will get there soon I'll really have it made
Then I'll know I'm number one on your lover's hit parade

Now if we can work together like all good lovers should
We can make a go of it everything will turn out good
We can have so much fun we'll really have it made
Then I'll know I'm number one on your lover's hit parade

On your hit parade of love I know I'll never stop
I've got a long long way to climb before I reach the top
But if I will get there soon I'll really have it made
Then I'll know I'm number one on your lover's hit parade

On your hit parade of love I know I'll never stop
I've got a long long way to climb before I reach the top
But if I will get there soon I'll really have it made
Then I'll know I'm number one on your lover's hit parade
Then I'll know I'm number one on your lover's hit parade

It was a gathering of some 300 people
In the little church the crowd began to swell
Quite a send off for a simple country farmer
For many loved and knew the old man well

And as his bride of 60 years came forward
She bravely walked to where his body lay
A hush fell over all that stood around her
She smiled through tears as she began to say

I will see you again
For this isn't the end
You're my forever friend
And I will see you again

Ever since a simple carpenter from Nazareth
Walked the mountains and the shores of Galilee
Ever since he died and rose again on Easter
Death doesn't have the same old victory

Tonight I'll lay my head upon his pillow
And cry until the breaking of the day
But even in the pain of separation
There's a hope inside my heart that lets me say

Chorus

Jesus, He made a way
There is coming a day
So I will hold on 'til then
And I will see you again

I will hold on 'til then
And I will see you...again.

Within the prison of my soul
Locked within my troubled mind
There's a boy I can't forget
Cause he's just one of a kind

Just a plain old fashioned boy
The kind a girl don't have to tame
When he starts to settle down
He's proud to let her wear his name

Within my hand I hold the key
Do I dare to set him free
Gotta feeling in my mind
That he's just one of a kind

Ran away from our hometown
Thought I'd leave his love behind
But there he rode with me
On the highways of my mind

Met a lot of handsome boys
Handsome boys aren't hard to find
He's a rare breed of them then
Cause he's just one of a kind

Within my hand I hold the key
Do I dare to set him free
Gotta feeling in my mind
That he's just one of a kind

Within my hand I hold the key
Do I dare to set him free
Gotta feeling in my mind
That he's just one of a kind

Gotta feeling in my mind
That he's just one of a kind

Gotta feeling in my mind
That he's just one of a kind

I spent some time in Carolina
Thought those mountains out there just might do the trick
Two weeks of sunsets took my breath
But I still remember what I went there to forget

I'm lookin' for a place
To turn my heart around
Where I can hear your name
Without breaking down
What I was lookin' for
Wasn't in the mountain air
But I gotta start somewhere

So I'm gonna take a chance this evening
On someone who just might sweep me off my feet
He holds me close I close my eyes
I see your face
And I realize that I'm

Still lookin' for a place
To turn my heart around
Where I can see your face
Without breaking down
Dancing in his arms
I didn't find the answer there
But I gotta start somewhere

Thought I could drown your memory in a glass
Thoutht time might fix the way I feel
But after all I've tried I'm still

Lookin' for a place
To turn my heart around
Where I can hear your name
Without breaking down
Tonight I'll get on my knees
Pray to find healing there
Lord I gotta start somewhere
I've gotta start somewhere

. . .


I remember all the things you said dear
On the day that you told me goodbye
You said I may as well accept it
And that there's no reason to cry

Tell me who's cryin' baby
Who's feelin' blue
Who just don't care anymore
Who's forgettin' who

You told me I would be so lonesome
You said that I'd be mighty blue
And that it wouldn't be so easy
For me to forget about you

Tell me who's cryin' baby
Who's feelin' blue
Who just don't care anymore
Who's forgettin' who

I hear distress has come upon you
In the house that we once made a home
They say that life'll teach you lessons
You did me wrong and now you're all alone

Tell me who's cryin' baby
Who's feelin' blue
Who just don't care anymore
Who's forgettin' who

Tell me who's cryin' baby
Who's feelin' blue
Who just don't care anymore
Who's forgettin' who

Tell me who's cryin' baby
Who's feelin' blue
Who just don't care anymore
Who's forgettin' who

Who just don't care anymore
Who's forgettin' who

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er,
And neither have I the wings to fly.
Give me a boat, that will carry two,
And both shall row, my love and I.

Oh love is handsome, and love is kind,
Shining bright like a jewel, when first its new;
But love grows old, and waxes cold,
And fades away, like morning dew.

There is a ship, and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep, as deep can be,
But not as deep as the love I'm in.
I know not if I sink or swim.

The water is wide, I can't cross o'er,
And neither have I the wings to fly.
Give me a boat, that will carry two,
And both shall row, my love and I.

Three hundred days of traveling
Pickin' music from the soul
It's a life that's not for all
But it's the way we choose to go
The rangers and the music
Keep us runnin' to the stage
And that blue moon keeps shinin' bright
It's a bluegrass Saturday night

That sweet fiddle keeps on playin'
And the sound's intoxicatin'
Banjo pickin' loud and clear
It rings on through the night
Load the bus with the band and biscuits
Tell the folks about Martha White
Everything's gonna be alright
It's a bluegrass Saturday night

A thousand miles of blacktop
Many times just over night
Writing songs and sharing stories
It's a different way of life
There's no other way of living
We'll keep rolling through the land
With a song upon our hearts
Till we join Heaven's bluegrass band

That sweet fiddle keeps on playin'
And the sound's intoxicatin'
Banjo pickin' loud and clear
It rings on through the night
Load the bus with the band and biscuits
Tell the folks about Martha White
Everything's gonna be alright
It's a bluegrass Saturday night

Hunter's fiddle keeps on playin'
And the sound's intoxicatin'
Big K pickin' loud and clear
It rings on through the night
Josh and Mickey keep on singin'
Listen to them harmonize
Special thanks to Martha White
For a bluegrass Saturday night

Hey Augie take me back to Nashville
Time to hold my baby tight
Everybody sat goodbye
To a bluegrass Saturday night
