High Cotton
High cotton
Written by roger murrah and scott anders
We didnt know that times were lean
Round our house the grass was green
It didnt seem like things were all that bad
I bet we walked a thousand miles
Chopin cotton and pushin plows
And learnin how to give it all we had.
As life went on and years went by
I saw the light in daddys eyes
And felt - the love in mamas hands
They kept us warm and kept us fed
Taught us how to look ahead
Now lookin back, I understand.
Chorus:
We were walkin in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away
We were walkin in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten

Words At Twenty Paces
Words and music by hugh moffatt
Just like a western movie, a challenge has been made.
A shot was fired in anger, and pride stepped off the train.
Wont we ever stop this killin, me and you, till our hearts are up on boot hill and theres nothing we can do?
Chorus:
Words at twenty paces, anger at high noon.
This house aint big enough for both of us. its comin soon.
Well finish off our happiness and run hope out of town.
With words at twenty paces, lord, its love were gunnin down.
Bridge:
How did we ever lose the dreams we used to share, the gentle touch, the words of love, the way we used to care?
Sometimes you words cut like a bullet in my side.
Oh, which is more important, wounded hearts or wounded pride?
Ive got my ammunition. I know youve got yours too.
We know each others weakness; lord, the damage we can do.
Why cant we just step aside and put our guns away?
Let love come like the cavalry: ride in and save the day?
Chorus

Christmas In Your Arms
Written by bill anderson and steve wariner
All my friens are asking me where I plan to spend the holidays
People seem to celebrate the season in so many different ways
Some go where the weathers freezing cold while others like it warm
I dont care about the weather just whether I spend christmas in your arms
Chorus:
We could drive up to the mountains, build a fire and watch it snow
We could sail down to the islands where the gentle breezes blow
Id be happy in the city, Id be happy on the farm
I dont care whre I spend christmas as long as I spend christmas in your arms
It was only last december I had no christmas spirir in my heart
My world lay cold and shattered in the ashes of a dream that fell apart
But now youre here beside me, no greater gift is wrapped beneath my tree
And the arms you wrap around me and the precious gift of love you give to me
Chorus
I dont care where I spend christmas as long as I spend christmas in your arms

Hangin round The Mistletow
Written by kostas
Snowny days and frosty night, everything looks cold and white
Hangin round the mistletoe, hangin round the mistletoe
Christmas day will soon be here, and everybodys full of cheer
Hangin round the mistletoe, waitin for you dear
Well, Ive waited all year long and nore the year is almost gone
Hangin round the mistletoe, hangin round the mistletoe
But if thats what Ive gotta do just to get a kiss from you
Hangin round the mistletoe, waitin for you dear
Christmas is a special time to give and to receive
For every little kiss you give me I will give you three
You aint gonna miss one kiss, thats one thing youll never miss
Im hangin round the mistletow waitin for you dear
Well, Ive had my eyes on you for a long, long time
So, Im asking santa please, make that pretty girl mine
Waited till Im cold and blue just to get a kiss from you
Im hangin round the mistletoe, waitin for you dear
Hangin round the mistletoe, waitin for you dear

In Pictures
Ive got her photograph on a stand by my bed
Two on the mantle and thousands in my head
I cant believe how fast shes growing
It aint supposed to be like this
Everytime I look at her I see how much Ive missed
I missed her first steps her first words and I love you daddy
Is something Ive seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures
I send the money down do my best to do my part
But it cant compare with what Ive paid with my heart
Theres still one unanswered question that weighs heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why
I missed her first steps and her first words and I love you daddy
Is something Ive seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures
It takes all I have to keep the tears inside
And what I wouldnt give if I could turn back time
I missed her first steps her first words and I love you daddy
Is something Ive seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my baby grow up in pictures

Alabama
Album: Cheap Seats
Well my muscles ache and my feet are sore
Thank God it's Friday and it's almost four
And time to hit the door
I'm gonna spend the weekend on the lake
We've been working over-time and we need a break
And Honey I can't wait
We know how to spell relief
Got a good old-fashion recipe
A little T.L.C.A.S.A.P.
A little R & R for you and me
A guaranteed rat race remedy
A little T.L.C.A.S.A.P.
Bring a book to read and a change of clothes
Well I packed a cooler and a Coleman stove
And the radio
We can love in the moonlight hours away
While the crickets play

Southern Star
Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine
And show me the way to get home
Well I'm blue-collar branded, and stuck in a mill
Hard work is a way of life for me
Well I'm too young to live like I'm over the hills
And too old to be wild and free.
My heart is onward bound.
I'm rolling with the feeling and I can't slow down
I need a guiding light.
Shining down to lead me through the night
Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine
And show me the way to get home.
Oh, hey my D.J. friend, would you play me one more song
And let my mind just go and drift away
Now we all have a dream....and a place where we belong
Somewhere we can go and escape.
My heart is onward bound.
I'm rolling with the feeling and I can't slow down
....I need a guiding light.
Shining down to lead me throught the night

I'm In The Mood
I knock off with a lot on my mind
From a long hard day
Pull in at home, see you and find
My stress slipping away
Then you run to my arms
and give me a kiss
And nothing else matters
When you hold me like this
(Chorus)
Girl, I'm in the mood to be your man
To win your heart all over again
Let my eyes trace, let my lips taste
Nothing but you
I'm in the mood to close the door
Make love tonight like never before
Rush after rush, like waves on the shore
Girl, I'm in the mood
All day long I'm so strong
Then I hear you speak
I'm drawn to your fire, your signs of desire

You Only Paint The Picture Once
(Teddy Gentry/Randy Owen/Ronnie Rogers/Greg Fowler)
Look at those evening shadows
Casting a peaceful light
The sun is disappearing
It's a beautiful sight
Moments caught forever
By the master's touch
A lasting reminder
To us
You only paint the picture once
(And) you only get one chance
Take the time to do your best
While the brush is in your hand
Make sure it's just right
Before the colors dry
You can't change it once it's done
You only paint the picture once
Love is the canvas
That's where it all starts
A lifetime together

Moonlight Lounge
Flattop guitar
Down around the campfire
You can smell that hickory burnin
Catfish fryin
Onions got us cryin
Hushpuppies theyre a turnin
Friends and kin comin down the hill
Trippin in the ole starlight
Cookin and kickin do a little pickin
Party tonight
Chorus:
Come on down to the moonlight longe
Where the ceilin is so blue
Where there aint no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there aint no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah were havin us a party down in the holler
We call it the moonlight lounge
Me and my lady
