Cowboy Take Me Away I said I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly I wanna sleep on the hard ground In the comfort of your arms On a pillow of blue bonnets, in a blanket full of stars Oh it sounds good to me Chorus: Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free oh I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I wanna walk and not run I wanna skip and not fall I wanna look at the horizon And not see a building standing tall I wanna be the only one, for miles and miles Except for maybe you and your simple smile Oh it sounds good to me, yes it sounds so good to me Chorus: Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free oh I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you I said I wanna touch the earth I wanna break it in my hands I wanna grow something wild and unruly Oh it sounds good to me, yes it sounds so good to me Chorus: Cowboy take me away Fly this girl as high as you can into the wild blue Set me free oh I pray Closer to heaven above and closer to you Closer to you

Early Mornin' Rain In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand And an achin' in my heart and my pockets full of sand I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so In the early morning rain with no place to go Out on runway number nine big seven-o-seven set to go But I’m stuck here on the ground Where the cold winds blow You can’t jump a jet plane like you cannot freight a train So I’d best be on my way in the early morning rain Solo Hear a mighty engines roar see the silver bird on high She's away and westward bound Far above my home she'll fly Where the mornin' rain don't fall And the sun always shines She'll be flyin' past my home in about three hours time In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand And an achin' in my heart and my pockets full of sand I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so In the early morning rain with no place to go In the early morning rain with no place to go…

Everything I Own You sheltered me from harm Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me, set me free, set me free The finest years I ever knew Were all the years I had with you Chorus: And I would give everything I own I’d give up my life, my heart, my home And I would give everything I own Just to have you back again You taught me how to laugh, what a time, what a time You never said too much but still you showed the way And I knew from watchin’ you Nobody else could ever know The part of me that can’t let go Chorus: And I would give everything I own I’d give up my life, my heart, my home And I would give everything I own Just to have you back again Bridge: Well is there someone you know You’re lovin’ them so But taking them all for granted You may lose them one day Someone takes them away And they don’t hear the words you long to say Chorus: And I would give everything I own I’d give up my life, my heart, my home And I would give everything I own Just to have you back again

Fall So Deep 04:00
Fall So Deep Tonight I dream I saw you, as real as if I saw you From the window of a moving train that you forgot to catch And your face is wet with raindrops, I count them as they’re falling I watch them splash against your feet, and then I disappear Chorus: And it’s not that I expect more than I should It’s just that I believe if I could I’d fall so deep I’d fall… In love with you I saw the ghost of beauty And I know that it’s just beauty As I get up from the table hoping you will see me there The place I set is empty, and I can see you standing Looking out towards the mountains That I always saw as hills Chorus: And it’s not that I expect more than I should It’s just that I believe if I could I’d fall so deep I’d fall… In love with you I stood here for a moment, to find the perfect moment In a world all topsy turvey In a place turned upside down If I turned into a bluebird Would you stand out in the open While I circle high above you land upon you fingertips Chorus: And it’s not that I expect more than I should It’s just that I believe if I could I’d fall so deep I’d fall… In love with you

Gold In Them Hills I know it doesn’t seem that way But maybe it’s the perfect day Even though the bills are piling And maybe Lady Luck ain’t smiling But if we’d only open our eyes We’d see the blessings in disguise That all the rain clouds are fountains Though our troubles seem like mountains Chorus: There’s gold in them hills There’s gold in them hills So don’t lose heart Give the day a chance to start Every now and then life says Where do you think you’re going so fast We’re apt to think it cruel but sometimes It’s a case of cruel to be kind And if we’d get up off our knees Why then we’d see the forest for the trees And we’d see the new sun rising Over the hills on the horizon Chorus: There’s gold in them hills There’s gold in them hills So don’t lose faith Give the world a chance to say,.. Bridge: A word or two my friend There’s no telling how the day might end And we’ll never know until we see that Chorus: There’s gold in them hills There’s gold in them hills So don’t lose heart Give the day a chance to start There’s gold in them hills There’s gold in them hills

Good Night 03:42
Good Night It was plain to see your child deep within me All the years I cried for you yes I know what you felt Cause I felt it too yes, you and I were meant to be Now listen to what I have to say I understand you more than you might think Those nights so troubled and confused yes I have my share of those nights too Let’s not be afraid to look inside Cause God only knows what we might find Chorus: Good night sleepy head Rest assured tomorrow sings Good night worried mind I’ll put my hand on your heart Together we’ll fly Now listen to what I want to say ya I need you more now then I did yesterday ya Those nights so troubled and confused just Take a deep breathe and I’ll comfort you yes You love me and I’ll love you too Let’s not be afraid to look inside Cause God only knows what we might find Chorus: Good night sleepy head Rest assured tomorrow sings Good night worried mind I’ll put my hand on your heart Together we’ll fly
7.
How Time Flies All I wanted when I called up your mother, darlin’ Was to hear the latest news But much to my surprise she said, darlin’ I’ve no time to talk to you Chorus: And oh how time flies And oh how I wanted to cry All I wanted when I walked up to you, darlin’ Was to ask you how ya been But much to my surprise there she was, darlin With a baby by her side Chorus: And oh how time flies And oh how I wanted to cry All I wanted was to reach out to you, darlin’ To tell you how I feel But much to my surprise I was too late, darlin’ Cause you’d gone and married too Chorus: And oh how time flies And oh how I wanted to cry And oh how time flies And oh how I wanted to die

Lonelier Than This It doesn't get any lonelier than this I believe my heart'll break Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake With every breath I'm tastin' your kiss And it's sweet upon my tongue Until the bitter tears fall one by one Well it doesn't get any lonelier than this 'cause I'm on this road alone My heartbeat ringin' like a hollow drum I'm about as lonesome as a poor girl gets And there's nothin' I can do 'cause it's dark out here and I can't find you Well it doesn't get any lonelier than this solo It doesn't get any lonelier than this I'm as blue as blue can be I’m just an empty space where your love should be I'm sick and tired of walkin' around like this With my heart outside my skin I’m scared to death we'll never touch again Well it doesn't get any lonelier than this And there's no place I can go There’s just the dusty corners that the shadows know Ah maybe this is good as it's gonna get And I’ll always be this way I'll just wander this world callin' out your name But it doesn't get any lonelier than this…

Pardon My Heart It's a fallen situation, when all our eyes are turnin’ in And the love isn't flowing, the way it could have been Chorus: You brought it all on… Oh, but it feels so wrong You brought it all on… No, no, no, I don't believe this song You brought it all on… It's a sad communication, with little reason to believe When one isn't giving, and one pretends to receive Chorus: Pardon my heart, if I showed that I cared But I love you more than moments, we have or have not shared Chorus: You brought it all on… Oh and it feels so good You brought it all on… When love flows the way that it should You brought it all on… It feels so good, it feels good, it feels good It feels good, it feels good, it feels good Feels so good, feels so good…

Sweet Baby James There is a young cowboy he lives on the range His horse and his cattle are his only companions He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons Waiting for Summer, his pastures to change And as the moon rises he sits by his fire Thinking about women and glasses of beer And closing his eyes as the dogies retire He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear As if maybe someone could hear Chorus: Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rockabye sweet baby James Now the first of December was covered with snow And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Though the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway A song that they sing when they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to see That singing works just fine for me Chorus: Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rockabye sweet baby James So, Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James

Walk In Circles Sittin’ by myself in this hotel room Well I find myself searchin’ for something to do Then I walk in circles seeing my life in front of me Another book read, another philosophy said Well it all sounds so simply still I don’t understand Why I walk in circles searchin’ for something I can’t see Chorus: Carry me home to that place I remember The snowy white December Where my Momma used to say Oh I love you, I love you, I love you Just the same Another night another crowd, another name to a face That I hope to remember When I come back to this place Oh I walk in circles searchin’ for what I’m suppose to do Well it’s not so bad you see I’m I’m grateful for all I have And yes I’ll sing my song To the soul with a bleeding hand While I walk in circles livin’ my life in spite of me Chorus: Carry me home to that place I remember My sisters and my brother And the games we used to play Oh I love you, I love you, I need you Just the same solo Chorus: Carry me home to that place I remember The sweet smell of September Where my Daddy used to say Oh I love you, I love you, I love you Just the same Now it’s time to let it go, Lord I put my trust in you Cause I know my life is meant For so much more then I consume So I’ll walk in circles searchin’ for answers inside of me Yes I walk in circles singin’ my songs in spite of me Oh I walk in circles sharin’ my life of melody

Empty Boxes 03:49
Empty Boxes Empty boxes and a room full of dust All that’s left since the two of us Funny even though you’re gone you surround me You’re everywhere I look In every waking thought… Empty boxes and the two of us Friends all tell me everything’s gonna be okay They say to let you go, hold on to the memories Well with my head held high I walk with good intentions but… You’re everywhere I look In every breath I take… Empty boxes and the two of us Bridge: I hope you know I’ll always love you And if I could, well I’d wrap my arms around you I hope you understand why I had to let you go Baby please remember me for the love not the sorrow Empty boxes and a room full of dust All that’s left since the two of us Funny even though you’re gone you surround me You’re everywhere I look In every dream I dream In every story book Every song I sing Every morning I wake up In my empty bed You’re in my coffee cup Every tear I’ve shed Empty boxes and the two of us…
