She pulled out of Mobile
in the pouring rain,
Moving through the darkness
like a hurricane.
From southern New Port waters
to the Cumberland so green,
Louisville by Nashville
and all points in between.
Pounding out a rhythm
making up lost time,
Heading for that
bluegrass state of mine.

(Chorus)
White smoke a rollin'
Whistle a blowin'
Listening to her engine keeping time
Kentucky borderline.

Montgomery my morning
Birmingham by noon,
Onward through the timber
upward to the moon.
Her lonesome whistle cries
a low sighed refrain,
like the boys down on Mill street
singing of the pain.
No one is gonna stop her
from her appointed rounds,
This train is moving on
its glory bound.

(Chorus)

Her lungs are full of fire
breathing burning coal,
A raging locamotion
like thunder when it rolls.
Singing for the mighty
who cast her molten steel,
Drawed the spike and layed the rail
to ride beneath her wheels.
The pride of our nation
she's a monument to them,
A southern bell
that mighty L&N

(Chorus)

. . .


Watch where you're standing
When you close that door
'Cause if you're on the wrong side
It won't open anymore
Be sure before you leave me that it's the only way
Take off your coat and think about
What I'm about to say.....

**Chorus
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul, completely
You've got my dreams
You've got everything that I need if you leave me alone
I'll give you my love for the rest of my life
But I want to make sure you know
You can't take it with you when you go...

I hear what you're saying
But I don't believe it's you
Tellin' me that it's all over
After all we've been through
If you found a new love
Then just tell me so
And I'll make it easy
So she'll never know...

Repeat **

You can't take it with you when you go.....

. . .


Sometimes I feel confident
like I'm in control,
Rolling out in Vegas
and landing every roll.
But lately I ain't winning
it's snake eyes every time,
I'm losing and I'm down
to my last dime.

(Chorus)

Now every day I hope and pray
to make it through one more,
As the winter wind rushes in
and chills me to the core.
I've lost so much that nothing
is all I've got to lose,
It's one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.

Don't tell me that I'll be alright
that's something you don't know,
Or tell me not to be uptight
or not to let it show.
My confidence is sliding
this I know is true,
I'm barely just one step
ahead of the blues.

(Chorus 2x)

It's one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.

. . .


In the month of June, five years ago
that's when I came to be,
And though I'm not yet wordly wise
my eyes can clearly see.
I love my mom and daddy too
I pray my soul to keep,
And I ask for a happy home
When I lay me down to sleep.

But lately mommy cries at night
she thinks that I won't hear,
When daddy said my name today
he wiped away a tear.
I know that something isn't right
I see it in their eyes,
Oh how I wish it wasn't so
but the truth can't be denied.

(Chorus)

I'm caught in the crossfire
of a war that can't be won,
Mom calls me her little man
daddy's only son.
I love them both, but I can't choose
which one to leave behind,
I'm caught in the crossfire
of a world that's so unkind.

Before you go to sleep tonight
say a prayer for me,
I'm one of the millions
from a broken family.
My wish is but a simple one
my needs they are but few,
The promise of a happy home
and love to see us through.

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

. . .


There's a cold wind from Alberta
that carries me on down,
From Greenbay to the Port shore
this rig is homeward bound.
Nothings gonna stop me
from that boy of mine,
It's pedal to the metal
and ridin that red line.

(Chorus)

Forty tons of iron
Sixteen hours to go,
18 wheels to take me
to the one that I love so.
I know he's waiting for me
and looking mighty fine,
It's pedal to the metal
and riding that red line.

Springfield to St. Louie
just said goodbye to me,
I'm southbound like a nighbird
on the wing and sailing free.
The morning light will bring him
I can see him in the view,
My hauling days are over
this run is nearly through.

(Chorus 2x)

The queen of my destiny
riding on the wind
I'm heading home again.

. . .


The pathway of teardrops
Will show you the way
If you ever want to come back to me
You know dear that I cry
Both night and day
Since you told me you could never be true

I love you so, still I let you go
Now I'm sending this message to you

The pathway of teardrops
Will show you the way
If you ever want to come back to me

I love you so still I let you go
Now I'm sending this message to you

The pathway of teardrops
Will show you the way
If you ever want to come back to me

If you ever want to come back to me

. . .


I thought I had driven
You out of my mind,
When I crossed that bridge on memory lane and burned it one last time.
I told myself it's over
And I'm finally free,
But just when I thought I had burried your memory,
It shows up just like a bad penny.

(Chorus)

An old memory found it's way back home again
Old feelings that I thought I'd lost
have found their way back in.
Like an old dog that you drop off
just out side of town,
Uninvited coming back anyhow
An old memory found it's way back home again.

I swept every room when I cleaned house
tore up your old love letters
And threw all of your pictures out.
But I can't throw away what I can't see
I guess I fooled myself into believing
Forgetting you was gonna be easy.

(Chorus)

Why can't I keep your memory away
it's like a fire I can't put out
A cold that I can't shake.

(Chorus)

Yeah an old memory found it's way back home again.

. . .


There's a full moon out tonight
all the stars are shining bright
the same way that they used to do.
And it reminds me of
the night we fell in love
Beneath that old Missouri moon.

(Chorus)

Who'd have ever thought we'd end this way
As I watch you go the tears are rolling down my face.
Who'd have ever thought I'd be so blue
As I cry beneath that old Missouri moon.

I can't remember when it started to begin
That I gave my heart away to you
And then when we touched
I have never felt so much
It was in that moment that I knew.

(Chorus)

As I cry beneath that old Missouri moon
Missouri moon, Missouri moon.

. . .


On the cross and they hung him
shame was foresaken
As they drove the nails in his hands and his feet.
As death closed his eyes
his cries went to heaven
Oh Father forgive them
I hear him redeem.

(Chorus)

One morning past day-break
as the crowd slowly gathered
Like a sheep he was humble
to his Father's own will
So sad was his face there
the birds hushed their singing
They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill.

In the tomb he was layed but
death could not hurt him
He was God's only son
in this world below.
On the cross he fulfilled the
plan of salvation
I want to thank Jesus
for his coming again.

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill.

. . .


Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.

Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.

Peter, John, and James
Could never be the same
After they heard him say
I'll make you fishers of men.

He said, Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.
He said, Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.

Cast your nets aside
and join the battle tide
He will be your guide
To make you fishers of men.

He said, Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.
He said, Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.

Jesus bore the cross
To gather in the lost
Oh what a mighty cost
To set us free from sin.

He said, Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.
He said, Rise and follow me
I'll make you worthy
Rise and follow me
I'll make you fishers of men.
