455 Rocket Lyrics
(Gillian Welch/David Rawlings)
Mr. Smith had an oldsmobile
Baby blue with them wire wheels
I took her home the day that she was adverstised
He said she leaked when, it would rain
And sounded like an aeroplane
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise
She had a 455 Rocket
The biggest
Back Up Grinnin' Again Lyrics
(David Goodman)
There's a little love left in my heart
And it's lookin' for a place to go
It's a strong love, it's a sole survivor
Of the times I've been laid low
It's been turned down, cheated upon
Made a fool of now and then
But every time a little more loves comes knockin'
It'
Battle Hymn Of Love Lyrics
(Don Schlitz/Paul Overstreet)
I will pledge my heart
To the love we share
Through the good and the bad times too
I'll forsake my rest
For your happiness
'Til my death I will stand by you
With God as my witness
This vow I will make
To have and to hold you
No other to take
For rich
Burnin' Old Memories Lyrics
(Larry Boone/Gene Nelson/Paul Nelson)
I used to love him that ain't no lie
We had a good thing till he said goodbye
Then with one touch you set my heart ablaze
I'm burnin' old memories with a brand new flame
A perfect match that's what we are
I'm gettin' over him underneath the s
Christ Child's Lullabye Lyrics
(Adapted and Arranged by Dougie MacLean and Kathy Mattea)
(Translation by Kenna Campbell)
My love, my treasured one are you
My sweet and lovely son are you
You are my love my darling new
Unworthy I, of you
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Your mild and gentle eyes proclaim
Come From The Heart Lyrics
(Susanna Clark/Richard Leigh)
My daddy told me when I was a young girl
A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
You're gonna have to learn to let go
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got t
Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses Lyrics
(Paul Nelson/Gene Nelson)
Charlie's got a gold watch
Don't seem like a whole lot
After thirty years of drivin'
Up and down the interstate
But Charlie's had a good life
And Charlie's got a good wife
And after tonight she'll no longer
Be countin' the days
Eighteen wheels and a doze
Emmanuel Lyrics
(Kye Fleming/Janis Ian)
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
A child is born
A child is born
Sing glory unto God on high
Joy to all the world this night
And to all people, peace
And to all people, peace
Remember Him, oh little star
Remember Him and shine
Around the world
In every heart
On this hol
Evenin' Lyrics
(Mitchell Parish/Harry White)
Evevin', each night you come and you find me
Why must you always remind me
That my man is gone
Evevin', can't you see I'm deep in your power
Each minute seems like an hour
Since my man is gone
Shadows fall on the wall
That's the time I miss your kiss
Every Love Lyrics
(Rhonda Kye Fleming/Janis Ian)
Every love is different
Every love's the same
Every love has memories
Every love has pain
I knew love at twenty
I knew love at nine
But the love I know right now
Is the sweetest love I'll ever find
Every town's familar
Every town is strange
When you
From A Distance Lyrics
From a distance, the world looks blue and green,
and the snow capped mountains white.
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
and the echo through the land.
It's the voice of hope,
it's the voice of peace,
it'
Hills Of Alabam' Lyrics
(Claire Lynch/Mark Fair)
Tomorrow brings another town
We'll be on our way
We'll hit the road and have a song
Then there'll be nothing to say
For hours on end
And, God, won't you send me away
To the hills of Alabam'
I've been a long way
And I've longer yet to go
And if you can't t
I'm On Your Side Lyrics
(Jim Lauderdale)
People tell you what I need
Is a lesson in defeat
Got you bothered, got you down
Not so sure you want me 'round
Baby, I'm on your side
You don't even have to read my mind
I'm on your side
We'll talk about 'em all back home
Those who'd come to your defense
Would n
Late In The Day Lyrics
(Tim O'Brien)
Late in the day when shadows start to play
On my backdoor and up and down this alleyway
I think back on the times with your hand in mine
We sat talking low...late in the day
It seems you never know a good thing till it goes
Slippin' through your fingers...that's jus
Leaving West Virginia Lyrics
(Kathy Mattea)
Well, I'm leaving West Virginia in the morning
And I'm headin' out that California way
I don't know what I'll find but baby it's my time
And I'll surely leave my heart below the Mason-Dixon line
I've seen a lot of folks 'round the street tonight
Can't seem to find
Listen To The Radio Lyrics
(Nanci Griffith)
I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain
Well those Delta towns wear satin gowns
In a high beamed frame
Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio
Where would I be in times like these
Without the songs Loretta wrote?
'Cause when you can't find a friend
Yo
Lonely At The Bottom Lyrics
(Mike Dowling/Jan Dowling)
We were buddies once upon a time
And then you took off on your social climb
But fortune only brought you misery
And now you're cryin' out for sympathy
Well, it's lonely at the top
Yea, it's lonely at the top
Well, if this workin' girl were you
She'd jus
Lonesome Standard Time Lyrics
(Jim Rushing/Larry Cordle)
Do you feel a kindred spirit
To the sound of pourin' rain
Does your heart start to yearnin'
When you hear a distant train
If you'd like to take that train and ride
To someone left behind
You don't need the wind to tell you
You're on lonesome standard ti
Maybe She's Human Lyrics
(Kent Robbins/Layng Martine, Jr)
She gets up an hour before she really wants to
Gets a half day's work done before the day begins
She makes a list of everything that everybody needs from her
And all that she did yesterday today she'll do again
She goes off to her job, the school,
Mr. Smith Had An Oldsmobile Lyrics
Baby blue with wire wheels
I took her home the day that she was advertised
He sais she leaked when it would rain
Sounded like an aeroplane
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise
She had a 455 rocket
Biggest block alive
I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
She was made for
Nobody's Gonna Rain On Our Parade Lyrics
(Brad Parker/Will Rambeux)
Well there's a blue moon hangin' in a small town sky
Nobody's listenin' to the band tonight
Nobody feels like dancin' in this sad cafe
Oh, but you and me baby we got somethin' to live for
One more step and we'll be out that door
I don't know where we're
Patiently Waiting Lyrics
(Gillian Welch)
Well nothing new has passed this way in a long time
Maybe nothing's ever gonna come
And nothing seems to grow outside my window
I think I'd better go and get me some
Well, I want to get some of the gold in the hills
That's making people nervous
You know they get s
Quarter Moon Lyrics
(Bob Millard)
When everything you own
Will fit in a paper sack
No one notice you leavin'
Nobody ask when you comin' back
You live in a rented room
Your money run out too soon
You've pawned all your hopes
Bummed all your smokes
And you leave by the quarter moon
Quarter moon better
Seeds Lyrics
(Pat Alger/Ralph Murphy)
Sometimes I stop on my way home
And watch the children play
And I wonder if they wonder
What they'll be someday
Some will dream a big dream
And make it all come true
While others go on dreaming
Of things they'll never do
We're all just seeds
In God's hand
Sending Me Angels Lyrics
(Jerry Lynn Williams/Frankie Miller)
I walked down to the river
Stood on the shore
Seems like the devil's always
Tryin' to get in my door
Just when I thought I couldn't
Take any more
He keeps sending me angels
From up on high
He keeps sending me angels
To teach me to fly
He keeps
Song For The Life Lyrics
(Rodney Crowell)
I don't drink as much as I used to
Lately it just ain't my style
And the hard times don't hurt like they used to
They pass quicker like when I was a child
Somehow I learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic that morning is bringin'
The
The Bridge Lyrics
(Tom Kimmel/Jim Pittman)
Sometimes I wonder what's the right thing
Maybe you could let me know
We were struck by lightning
A long time ago
No one else's vision
Ever let me see
How your good intentions
Cast their spell on me
Now there's a bridge I can't get over
There's a weight I
The Cape Lyrics
(Guy Clark/Susanna Clark/Jim Janosky)
Eight years old with a floursack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
He's figurin' what the heck
Well, he screwed up his courage up so tight
That the whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
He
The End Of The Line Lyrics
(Mary Ann Kennedy/Kye Fleming/Mark Stephen Cawley)
Love isn't easy
Nobody said it would be
We hurt each other without trying
A little anger, a little pride and I think
It isn't worth the tears we're crying
But then I look at you and all that matters
Is we start over again
When we
The Star Lyrics
My head in the clouds, I can't conceal, conceit.
I try to justify your looked, bewitched eye.
Am I shining brightly on falsified sky?
Chous:
And I try so hard to be like you.
And I'm just a star, and I'll fade away too...
Like you.
You'll see me as I am but I'm empty inside.
We'l
There Were Roses Lyrics
A song for you this evening, and it's not to make you sad,
Or for adding to the sorrow of a troubled Northern land.
But lately I've been thinking, and it just won't leave my mind.
I'll tell you now of two good friends. They were both good friends of
mine.
Isaac Scott from Derry,
True North Lyrics
(Wendy Waldman/Phil Galdston)
He called as soon as he hit New York City
The highway was like ice and the wind was turning cold
He wanted me to know how much he missed me
And my picture keeps him going on the lonely road
True north
That's where my one star lies
True north
If only
Untasted Honey Lyrics
(Craig Bickhardt/Barry Alfonso)
I'll be leaving when the sun is on the rise
I can see the sorrow shining deep inside your eyes
But this life that I've been living
Has grown to a routine
So I'm headed for somewhere
I've been in my dreams
Oh, I wanna go where a soul feels alive
And
Untold Stories Lyrics
(Tim O'Brien)
All those untold stories
All those silent lies
We'll never know each other
Keepin' them deep inside (let's)
Wash away the troubles
Keepin' us apart
Tell those untold stories
Let the healin' start
It's been so long ago
We went our separate ways
Now maybe time has cha
Walk The Way The Wind Blows Lyrics
(Tim O'Brien)
Up along the hallway
Down along the stairs
I can see the pictures
We've made down through the years
And it makes me blue, darlin'
Thinking of the past
And I'm truly sorry
I couldn't make it last
Walk the way the wind blows
Cry the tears I've cried
Hopin' for you, da
What A Wonderful Beginning Lyrics
(Allen Shamblin/Austin Cunningham)
Oh a man named John The Baptist
Had been hearlding the news
About the coming of a Savior
For both the Gentiles and the Jews
And it happened in Judea
In the town of Bethlehem
With a bright star o'er the stable
Was born the Son Of Man
Oh the angel
Willow In The Wind Lyrics
(Mark Sanders/Randy Albright/Lisa Silver)
We've got a strong love
And it's a life-long love
Me and you
And when it's tested
We can't rest until
Trouble blows on through
Storms of love may try to take us down
So we gotta learn to bend
Like a willow in the wind
Like a willow in the
You Plant Your Fields Lyrics
(Wendy Waldman/Donny Lowery)
My father said some thing you learn
Only by doing when it comes your turn
Everything comes around so be ready if you can
Prepare your heart like the farmer turns the land
You plant your fields
When the spring is tender
When the summer beats down
You p
You're The Power Lyrics
(Craig Bickhardt/F.C. Collins)
Shining like a beacon through the darkest night
You're the only light that leads me home
Home is where the fire burns so warm and bright
Long as I have you, I'll never roam
Our paths may wander on this walk of life
But I won't walk alone
Like a blaz
