"Small Towns And Big Dreams"

I grew up in a small town
A wheat-fields-for-a-downtown kind of place
There was really not much around
You blink and you miss it
I never knew what life would bring
But I always had big dreams
I’d love to play my guitar and sing
And every night I’d wish that
I’d get a shot on the Opry stage
And have people come and see me play
Blastin’ on the radio waves
Enough to make my mama cry

That’s where I come from
That’s who I am
Hard-workin’ and God-blessed
Yes sir, and thank you ma’am
The best things around that I have ever seen
Came from small towns & big dreams

That small town went and grew up
But I never changed much by God’s grace
Friends and family kept in touch
When I moved to Tennessee
I sing my songs and travel round
I met a girl and we’re settling down
We want to find a small town
Where we can raise a family (cause)

Been around the world don’t matter anywhere I go
From small town stars to city lights I’ve found my kind of folks
It’s about you and who you are, it’s all a state of mind
And as I’m givin’ you my heart I hope you find that
 
"I'm Gonna Fly"

7 years old in my radio flyer
red cape tied around my neck
top of Thompson’s hill, Billy said I was a liar
and now I’m scared half to death
Becky said Billy was dumb I shouldn’t listen to him
but I had something to prove
ain’t nobody gonna call me a chicken
gotta do what you gotta do

I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
Billy just you wait and see

I was just a kid, barely 18 years
And I couldn’t wait to graduate
Confident and cocky, and man, it really got me
When I heard my daddy say
“you oughta get some knowledge, you gotta go to college,
gotta make something of your life.”
But I had to do it my way, so I headed for the highway
And I followed those little white lines

I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
Making my own destiny

I crashed and burned, but I don’t regret it
You only fail when you don’t try
Gonna brush off the ashes and just forget it
I’m ain’t perfect yet but you can bet someday I’m gonna get my wings and fly

I’m gonna fly
Defying space and gravity
I’m gonna fly
You gotta believe
I’m gonna fly
Making my own destiny
I’m gonna fly
You gotta believe
 
"Take It Off"

If you’ve got worry on your mind
And pain that’s pilin’ up inside your heart
Take it off
If the peace that you’ve been tryin’ to find
Is held down by a load of lies and scars
Take it off
Take it off

There’s a place that we all try to hid
Covered up with guilt and pride we walk
Take it off
Just leave your crooked past behind
Look straight into my lovin’ eyes and let’s talk
Take it off

Now baby I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout sexuality
Just close your eyes and lay your naked heart down next to me
Let’s wrap ourselves in truth and honesty
And Take it off
(solo)

Now baby I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout sexuality
Just close your eyes and lay your naked heart down next to me
Let’s wrap ourselves in truth and honesty

If the pressure’s builin’ in on you
I’ll be there to help you through, I’ll try
To Take it off
 
"Warm Sunny Beaches"

I’m fed up with my work
And the boss is a jerk
It feels like I’m wasting my time
In a dead-end job
I’m having to rob
Peter to pay Paul a dime
Why don’t we jump in my car
Just to see how far
This ol’ beat up rambler will drive
And trade it all in for the
Taste of tequila and lime (and)

Warm sunny beaches
Follow the wind where it blows
Tall palm trees greet us
Blue ocean waving hello
You could be my senorita
Oh and I’ll never let you go
Drinkin’ cold marguerites
On the warm sunny beaches
In Mexico

Every sunny day
We could laugh at the way
We used to live nine to five
In a hammock-swing
We’ll forget everything
Nothing but love on our minds
And after siesta
We’ll have a fiesta
And party until morning-time
And when the sun comes up (stops)
we’ll be singing out Ay ay ay ay! (on)
 
"Cry If You Want To"

Cry if you want to
I won’t tell you not to
I won’t try to cheer you up
I’ll just be here if you want me

There’s no use in keeping
A stiff upper lip
You can weep you can sleep
You can loosen your grip
You can frown, you can drown,
and go down with the ship, you can
Cry if you want to

Don’t ever apologize venting your pain
It’s something to me you don’t need to explain
I don’t need to know why
I don’t think it’s insane, you can
Cry if you want to

The windows are closed,
The neighbors aren’t home
If it’s better with me than to do it alone,
I’ll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone, you can
Cry if you want to

You can stare at the ceiling and
Tear at your hair
Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear
You can show things and throw things
And I wouldn’t care, you can
Cry if you want to

No, I won’t make fun of you
I won’t tell anyone
I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done
I won’t advise you to go and have fun, you can
Cry if you want to

Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad
I can’t feel what you feel, but I know it feels bad
I know that it’s real and it makes you so mad
You could cry

Cry if you want to
I won’t tell you not to
I won’t try to cheer you up
I’ll just be here if you want me to be near you
 
"If This Isn't Love"

If this isn’t love
What else could it be
What’s happened to you
What’s happening to me
If this isn’t love
What else is so strong
Or feels half as good
Or last’s half as long

Now I am not an expert
On matters such as this
Romance has always left me in the dark
But with each brush of your sweet touch
And every lingering kiss
I think that Cupid’s finally found his mark

Could it be a bug
Or maybe the flu
That’s going around
You say that you’ve got it too

If this isn’t love
What else could it be
If this isn’t love
Then it’s alright with me

If this isn’t love
Then it’s alright with me
 
"When You Call My Name"

Give me a moment
To try to explain it
And how it has changed
The man that I am
Life has a way
When you try to arrange it
Of making a fool
Of the best-laid plans
Guess what I'm tryin to say, is that you took me by surprise
One word is all that it takes, and forever's on my mind
It happens every time

I hear the sweetest sound
My world stops turnin round
Like I'm on holy ground
When you call my name
It sets the sky on fire
Burnin with my desire
Stronger, deeper, higher
When you call my name

The way that it moves me
It's simply amazing
Somehow it seems
Much bigger than words
When you call my name
Angels start singing
Most beautiful sound
That I ever heard
And it starts all over again, this feeling deep inside
A blessed chain of events, a heaven sent design
It happens every time

When you call my name
Ahhh…
When you call my name
Oooo…
It happens every time
 
"It's All Good"

I get paid peanuts
Ah, what a life
I live for lottery tickets and Friday night
And hoping that someday I’ll get it right
But it’s all good

In-laws, out-laws,
Baby cries
Three in the morning with bloodshot eyes
It’s a lot more work than I realized
But it’s all good

Sometimes it’s hard to see the positive at all
Little things pile up this they’re a lot
Stress and pressure builds and gets uncomfortable
Until you get your shorts tied in a knot
But it’s all good

It’s easy feeling like you’ve really lost control
When things fall all apart and come unwound
But you can stand all day just staring at the obstacles
Or you can try to find a way to get around

Now I love you, and you love me
Ain’t got much money, but I feel like a king
And even if I could I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause it’s all good
I look at this big beautiful world and I just have to think
That it’s all good
 
"Virgil And The Holy Ghost"

Me and Virgil were best of friends
Brothers til the very end
Made a pact one sunny afternoon
Down by Coalpepper Creek
Fishing holes and skipping rocks
Down the railroad tracks we’d talk
‘bout girls & cars & hopes & dreams
the way our lives would be
& we swore we’d never change
we would always be the same

Virgil met the Holy ghost
A little younger than most
At the Jeelapy Pentacostal tent-revival alter call
Everyone from town was there that day
When Virgil gave his soul away
They were praisin’ as I waited
Outside the Gospel hall
Where we swore we’d never change
But it would never be the same

‘cause it was later on that year
the winter that our mama died
when I told Virgil I don’t want to hear
‘bout love & peace inside
‘cause if this God you know is good
how could he allow the pain
life’s been hard enough, so why would I want to be born again?

The other night, me & Virgil spoke
He travels with the Holy Ghost
Holding tent-revivals, he’s out to seek & save
Virgil says he’s been set free
By Jesus dying on a tree
& I’m not sure what I believe, my questions still remain
Virgil says that when he prays
He asks the Lord that I’d be saved
I guess some things never change
 
"The Longest Way"

I’d love to take my time
I’d let myself unwind
‘cause sometimes it feels these wheels keep spinnin’
at the speed of sound
I’d take the scenic route
Ain’t that what life’s about
I would stop and smell each and every single
Rose I found

I’m so tired of sayin’ someday that we’ll do it
Grab the keys get in the car and let’s get to it

Let’s head north or east or west or south
Just as long as we go now
Let’s let these headlights slice the night away
‘Til the sun comes out
If all the fun’s in getting there
Then baby I have got a plan
Let’s hit the road, c’mon let’s go
Let’s take the longest way we can

My heart’s restless, but it’s true
When it comes to lovin’ you
And that ain’t never gonna change no matter
Where we are

This old world keeps laughin’ like it’s got us
Don’t know why we ever let it stop us
 
"Canadian Man"

Canadian Man at your service
From the land of the chill
If I can’t warm you baby nobody will
I’m a genuine Canadian Man

Strong and free
That’s the True North
And baby, that’s me
I’ll salute you as long as need be
I’m a genuine Canadian Man

Well it’s hush-hush, while I mush-mush
My dog-sled made for two
It’s cold outside, but ooo, what a ride
To the warmth of my igloo

Warm and dry, we’ll be sipping on cola and rye
Then I’ll bake you an Eskimo pie
Your genuine Canadian Man

Well we’ll ride and glide over the Great Divide
On my ’95 Ski-Doo
Sweet honey-child it’s the call of the wild
When I’m calling you oooo

Canadian Man
That’s me the ice-breaker supreme
Forget your “American dream”
And wake up to Canadian man
 
"Convoy"

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck.
You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon? Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure.
By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon.
Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy.
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy...

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
"And I'm about to put the hammer down."

'Cause we got a little convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A.
Convoy!

Ah, breaker, Pig Pen, this here's the Duck. And, you wanna back off them hogs?
Yeah, 10-4, 'bout five mile or so. Ten, roger. Them hogs is gettin' in-tense up here.

By the time we got into Tulsa Town,
We had eighty-five trucks in all.
But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf,
And them bears was wall-to-wall.
Yeah, them smokies is thick as bugs on a bumper;
They even had a bear in the air!
I says, "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck.
"We about to go a-huntin' bear."

'Cause we got a great big convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a great big convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A.
Convoy!

Ah, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that, Pig Pen? Negatory, Pig Pen; you're still too close.
Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses. Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten.

Well, we rolled up Interstate 44
Like a rocket sled on rails.
We tore up all of our swindle sheets,
And left 'em settin' on the scales.
By the time we hit that Chi-town,
Them bears was a-gettin' smart:
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinoise National Guard.
There's armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps,
And rigs of ev'ry size.
Yeah, them chicken coops was full'a bears
And choppers filled the skies.
Well, we shot the line and we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus
In a chartreuse micra-bus.

Ah, Rubber Duck to Sodbuster, come over. Yeah, 10-4, Sodbuster? Lissen,
you wanna put that micra-bus in behind that suicide jockey? Yeah, he's
haulin' dynamite, and he needs all the help he can get.

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey shore
And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn't have a dog-goned dime.
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
"We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll."
So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4."

'Cause we got a mighty convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the U-S-A.

Convoy! Ah, 10-4, Pig Pen, what's your twenty?
Convoy! OMAHA? Well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer shure. Well, mercy
Convoy! sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here, so keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your...
Convoy! tail. We'll catch you on the flip-flop. This here's the Rubber Duck on the side.
Convoy! We gone. 'Bye,'bye.
 
"Leavin'"

C’mon hurry
Ain’t no time for worrying
Gotta go
Move on
Just leave the lights on
Grab some clothes, set those sights on
that 4 lane road
I’m gone

In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, Can’t stay, Going far, In a rush
Got that getaway feeling
I’m Leaving

Trust me
Something better’s gotta be
Right around
This next turn
Gonna be just fine
Toss the map, don’t look behind
Push that pedal down
Burn

Here I go

(In a truck, in a train, in a car, in a bus
Change my luck, Can’t stay, Going far, In a rush
White lines, Exit signs, Can’t fly
Fast enough) (second) (solo)
Black top, Rail way, Spinning wheels
Don’t stop
If you’re waiting on me
You’re backing up
Got that getaway feeling
I’m Leaving
 
"Home"

Front porch light would be turned on
And I was always gone too long
Curfew was at 10pm
And I’d sneak in trying not to wake him when I got
Home
Daddy always said I was half a bubble off plumb
Head-strong and stubborn, and maybe I was
Yeah, I couldn’t wait to leave
Last place I in the world I wanted to be was
Home

Now I’m flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
I’d never left that way if I’d have only known
He’s gone, so here I am
Home

I sat in my car and cried
Wished to God he was still alive
Inside, mama wiped my tears
She said, He would have been so happy that you’re here at Home
Then I thought about my life
And about my kids and about my wife
And about how time just flies no matter what you do
And every soccer game I have missed
And every time I fight when I could forgive
And how I can’t let it come to this
When I get home

Now I’m flying down that old dirt road
But it seems these wheels are spinning slow
And it’s taken me a while but now I finally know
Everything that matters most is at
Home
 
"Run To Me"

When you’re all alone in the dark
And it’s hard not to be afraid
When your candle’s losing it’s spark (when you’re losing hope in your heart)
And it seems that you can’t find your way
Look straight ahead, don’t cry and don’t look back
Leave your regrets behind you in the past

Run to me
I will always be
The hand you can hold when you’re lonely and cold
I will warm you I adore you
You’re always in my heart
No matter where you are
When it’s love you need (Come to me)
Baby you can run to me

Nothing you ever say
And nothing you could ever do
Is gonna change the way (Is gonna drive me away)
That I’ll always be loving you
I’ll be your sky, I’ll be a soft place to fall
Baby this love is unconditional

When it’s midnight on a winding road
And you don’t know where you are or where to go
Through the rain, call my name,
And I will run to you.
 
"What I Want To Be Remembered For"

If you could see deep into my heart, feel what I’m feelin
It’s like I have become a part of history
The greatest story ever told
Your love has me believin’
Lovin’ you will be my legacy
And you can trust
I’ll remain true
And all because of you

I want to live with my eyes open
When I’m down never quit hopin’
Keep the faith, keep the fire
Raise the bar a little higher
But most of all when all is said and done
And I stand at heaven’s door
Lovin’ you
That’s what I want to be remembered for

Every road we travel down, I promise I’ll stand right beside you
I’ll do my best to be the man that you need me to be
I don’t have to change the world or even feel the need to try to
Lovin’ you, that’s enough for me
With all I am for all my life
For you it’s not a sacrifice
