A True, True Love

I can't give you stars that shine
Or the moon above
All I have to offer you
Is a true, true love.

A true, true love
That grows and grows
Forever and a day …
Not like the rose
That only grows awhile
Then fades away.

Tomorrow’s true, true love will be
More than it is today …

Tomorrow’s true, true love will be
More than it is today.

Lazy River

Up a lazy river
By the old mill run
Lazy river
In the noonday sun.

Linger awhile
In the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream with me.

Up a lazy river
Where the robin's song
Wakes the mornin' we roll along
May be blue skies above
Everyone's in love
Up a lazy river
How happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me.

Up a lazy river
By the old mill run
That lazy, lazy river
In the noonday sun.

You can linger for awhile
In the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles, baby
Dream a dream of me.

Up a lazy river
Where the robin's song
Wakes a bright new mornin'
Where we can roll along.

There may be blue skies up above
But, as long as we're in love
Yeah … we'll be up a lazy river
How happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me.
From the halfway mark!

Yeah … up a lazy river
Where that robin's song
Awakes a bright new mornin'
We can roll along.

A-a-a … there are blue skies up above
And as long as we're in love
We'll be up a lazy river
Up a crazy, lazy river.

Up a lazy river …
I ain’t goin’ your way …
Get outta my way …
Up a lazy river with me.

Abilene

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene … my Abilene.

I sit alone most every night
Watchin’ those freight trains pull out-a sight
How I wish they'd take me back
To Abilene … my Abilene … huuum, huuum …

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene … my Abilene.

Here's a crowded city where nothin's free
No place in this town for the likes of me
Wish to the Lord that I could be
In Abilene … my Abilene … huuum …

Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene … my Abilene.

Women there don't treat you mean ...
In Abilene … my Abilene ...

Long Line Rider

Wettin' it down, boss
Wet it down
Wipin' it off, boss
Wipe it off.
Doin' ten to twenty hard
Swingin' twelve pounds in the yard
Every day
Every day.
I came in with a group of twenty
There ain't left but half as many
In the clay
In the clay.
Long line rider, turn away.

There's a farm in Arkansas
Got some secrets in its floor
In decay
In decay.
You can tell where they're at
Nothin' grows, the ground is flat
Where they lay
Where they lay.
Long line rider, turn away.

All the records show so clear
Not a single man was here
Anyway
Anyway.
That's the tale the warden tells
As he counts his empty shells
By the day
By the day.
Hey, long line rider, turn away.

Somone screams investigate
'scuse me sir it's a little late
Let us pray
Let us pray.
This kinda thing can't happen here
'specially not in an election year
Outta my way
Outta my way.
Hey, long line rider, turn away.

There's a funny taste in the air
Big bulldozers everywhere
Diggin' clay
Turnin' clay.
And the ground coughs up some roots
Wearin' denim shirts and boots
Haul 'em away
Haul 'em away.
Hey, long line rider, turn away.

Well I heard a brother moan
Why they plowin' up my home
In this way
In this way.
I said, buddy, shake your gloom
They're just here to make more room
In the clay.
U.S.A.

Amy

Amy, soft as the April snow
Amy, lovely as indigo
You only kissed me ... paradise smiled
And the man was a child
And the wind blew so wild.
Amy, here’s what I’m tryin’ to say
Love me ... if only for today
Let me know April and indigo blue
And let paradise smile for me, too.

Amy, here’s what I’m tryin’ to say
Love me ... if only for today
Let me know April and indigo blue
And let paradise smile for me, too.

Let me know April and indigo blue
And let paradise smile for me, too.

Misty Roses

You look to me
Like misty roses
Too soft to touch
But too lovely
To leave alone.

If I could be
Like misty roses
I'd love you much
You're too lovely
To leave alone.

Flowers often cry
But too late to find
That their beauty has been lost
With their peace of mind.

You look to me
Like love forever
Too good to last
But too lovely
Not to try.

If I believed
In love forever
I'd forget the past
Cause you're just too lovely
Not to try.

You're too lovely
Not to try
Much too lovely
Not ... to try …

Caravan

Night … and stars above that shine so bright
The myst'ry of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan.

Sleep … upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
This mem'ry of our caravan.

This is so exciting …
You your so inviting …
Resting in my arms …
As I thrill to the magic charms.

Of you … beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan … huuum … yoooo!

This is so exciting …
You your so … so … so … inviting …
Resting here in my arms …
As I thrill … thrill … to the magic charms.

Of you … beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming … true
Within our desert caravan … … …

Once In A Lifetime

Once in a lifetime a man knows a moment
One wonderful moment when fate takes his hand
And this is my moment … my once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land.

For once in my lifetime … you know … I feel like a giant
I sore like an eagle as though I had wings
For this is my moment … my destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime … I’m gonna do great things … hup … yep …

Just once in a lifetime a man knows a moment
One wonderful moment when fate grabs his hand
And this is my moment … my once in a lifetime
Where I can explore a new and exciting land.

Oh, once in my lifetime … you know … I feel like a giant
I’m gonna sore like an eagle as though I had wings
Aaah … this is my moment … my destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime … I’m gonna do great things … … …
