And you know the sun's settin' fast, And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts. Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye, But hold on to your lover, 'Cause your heart's bound to die. Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town. Can't you see the sun's...

On a gravel back road down deep in the fall, So long ago, yet how well I recall my Grandpa's green truck with the rusted out rims and me on the seat 'tween my Momma and him. How we rattled along till that old Ford it stalled. Mama said "Jump on out, pick you a...

She's got a phone in one hand, a hairbrush in the other and she says, "Life's too short to stay home and be a mother" She says she can have it all 'cause that's The New Deal so God give her a hand, 'cause she needs one for the wheel When he gets home from wor...

So you're headed down a Southern way, passing thru the Delta some time today? In my mind, pictures line the walls of a place I used to know, and vividly recall I love you so much, and you sure sing good and it would mean so much to me, if you would Sing the De...

Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give to me. When you hold me close, And you say: "That's all over." You don't go looking back, You don't hold the cards to stack. 'Cause you mean what you say. Sweet forgiveness, you help me see. I'm not near as bad, As I so...

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me, At my Father's throne, Make all my wants and wishes known! In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempters snare,...

Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by. It's so hard to make every note bend just right. You lay down the hours and leave not one trace, But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place. Well, the dance floor's for gliding and not jumping over ponies. Where...

There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know When we see the many loved ones we've known here below Gathered on that blessed hilltop with hearts all aglow That will be a glad reunion day. A glad day, a wonderful day, A glad day, a glorious day There with al...

I've been throwing horseshoes over my left shoulder I spent most all my life searching for that four-leaf clover Yet you ran with me chasing my rainbows I love you too that's the way love goes That's the way love goes, babe That's the music God made for all th...

I stopped in the church to pray, It was the middle of the day And I dont even know if I believe in God But I laid my soul on the table And left that place believing I was able to pull back the curtain my old fears had drawn I was out on the fourth of July when...

I was laying on my belly in the middle of the living floor I was watching Howdy Doody so I’m guessing it was right around four When I saw my baby brother tumbling from the top of the stairs He was lying limp and silent and the blood was trickling through his s...

I have good news to bring And that is why I sing, All my joys with you I will share. Well I'm gonna take a trip On the old gospel ship And go sailing through the air. Refrain: Well I'm gonna take a trip On the old gospel ship; I'm going far beyond the sky. We...

Well, I looked up into heaven, I thought I'd solve life's mysteries. I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny. But the rhyme of life confounds me, things will be as things will be. So I'll just dance the shores of Jordan 'til the angels carry me....

Come along my dear, the time's growin' near, We'll have to walk down where the field is overgrown Consumption's claimed his life and we dare not miss the sight, Of the train carrying Jimmie Rodgers home We'd some hard times these last few years, Lost the farm...

A cold wind against my shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night An Autumn leaf was scraping against my window like it was trying hard to get inside and then a ghost that I had met before he kept me up 'til dawn and everything I thought was right was sudd...
