Lady Down On Love
Words and music by randy owen
Its her first night on the town since she was just eighteen, a lady down on
Love and out of hope and dreams.
The ties that once bound her now are broke away, and shes like a baby, just
Learning how to play.
She never thought that love could ever end so soon.
Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon when he asked her to marry
And she glady said o.k.
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday.
Now shes a lady down on love.
She needs somebody to gentley pick her up.
Shes got her freedom, but shed rather be bound to a man who would love her
And never let her down.
Well, I know a lady thats down on her love, cause I used to hold her and
Have that special touch.
But work took me a way from home late at nights, and I wasnt there when she
Turned out the lights.
Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust, and she just couldnt live
With a man she couldnt trust.
Now shes a lady down on love.

I Wanna Come Over
Is that what time it is
I'm sorry if I woke you with this call
But all this wine is in my head
And I'm so lonely from it all
Don't hang up
Baby hear what I gotta say
We started out such a beautiful story
We just can't end this way
I wanna come over I wanna love you tonight
I don't care about the time or who's wrong or who's right
Just say it's OK and I'll be on my way
I wanna come over could you get outta bed
I'll try to unsay all the things I've said
Please say its OK and I'll be on my way
Is that what time it is
I'm sorry if I'm keeping you from your sleep
But all these feelings are running through me
You know I never knew they ran so deep
What's that you're sayin'
That just before I phoned

Thistlehair The Christmas Bear
The citys full of manger scenes
And stores lit up in red and green.
But down the road just out of town
Theres more magic to be found.
The countryside is all aglow
With holly trees and mistletoe.
And in them woods there lives a bear
Known to all as thistlehair.
Chorus (no changes)
Oh thistlehair the christmas bear
Spreadin the good news everywhere.
About christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Every little boy and girl
Out there love thistlehear
He comes around this time of year
Spreading lots of christmas cheer.
The kids all love this shiny coat
And the smell of honey on his nose.
He tells them all about that star (delete wondrous)

Until It Happens To You
Jeff cook/teddy gentry/ronnie rogers/greg fowler, 3:43
I worry all day and I cant go to sleep at night
Thinking about baby and wondering whos holding her tight tonight
People say Ive been a fool too long, too long
All my friends still ask me why I keep hanging on and on
Chorus:
And I say
Youll never know until it happens to you
Youll never know all that Im going through
Love aint something that flies away
Somebody goes but the feeling stays
And youll never know until it happens to you
Saturdays rollin and everybodys rockin but me
I should go to town but I dont want no company, no, no, no
Friends say I should be out having fun with someone
I know its true but if they only knew its easier said than done
Oh yeah
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Friends say Ive been a fool too long, much too long

It Works
He rattles his glass
She jumps up fast
And pours him a glass a tea
Deep in her heart she believes
Thats the way it should be
Yeah, now Ive seen my dad get fightin mad
Over on little four letter word
Hell tell you fast you dont talk like that around her
We may not see it the way they seee it
We may not do the way they do it
But she lives her life for him
And he gladly die for her
And even in this modern age it works
Though hes been down on his back
He still jumps out of that sack every morning at 5 am
Havin her home with the kids has been worth it to him
And she takes pride in being his wife
And making thier house a home
Sometimes she wishes the world would just leave them alone
We may not see it the way they seee it

Right Where I Am
(Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry/Ronnie Rogers/Greg Fowler)
Subways runnin' under the city
Condos reachin' to the sky
Each of this own, but I feel at home
Standing on this mountain high
And right where I am
Is where I wanna be
It's all I want
It's all I need
Forever in your arms
It's alright with me
'Cause right where I am's where I wanna be
Talk on the cell phone, checkin' her e-mail
The fax is a way of life
She's shoppin' at home with QVC on
And surfin' on-line
And right where I am
Is where I wanna be
It's all I want
It's all I need

Once Upon A Lifetime
Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
and felt the fire burning in my heart
for the very first time
she was scared and young
and had never tasted love
so I took her by the hand
a boy became a man
once upon a lifetime
And once upon a lifetime
you hold the queen of hearts
but if you gamble on a diamond
when the dealing starts
you stand to lose it all
as the cards begin to fall
and the lesson learned is hard
you're only dealt the queen of hearts
once upon a lifetime
So if you're taking chances
know the chance you take

Tar Top
It was July hot 'cross Georgia on my way to Myrtle Beach
I just got my diploma so I set out in search of me
The honeymoon was over, and Alabama was far away
From being little more than just a southern state.
I got a gig down at the Bowery
I played for tip and watered drinks
Just a novice in a business
That's seldom what it seems.
And where are you goin' Tar Top
Where's J. C. And The Chosen Few
I saw the Flash without T. Gentry
And B. V. left for Malibu.
I was July hot and thirty, some years down the line
When the Boys touched the nation, unaware at the time
I got to go to Texas, California, New York too
A farm boy who is thankful to be standin' in his shoes.
But in the Bowery hangs the mem'ries
Of dreams that still come true
Every time I see the spotlight
I'm one of the chosen few.

Reinvent The Wheel
(Walt Aldridge/Brad Crister)
Seems like everywhere I look
There's another version of the same old book
And someone telling me it's new
Every song on my radio sounds like one I heard a long time ago
Different windows, same old view
Yeah
Uh-huh
All the clothes in the magazines I could swear I've already seen
In my closet years ago
Hairstyles and super-malls, you've seen one well you've seen them all
Tell me something I don't know
But in a world that's mostly imitation
It's hard to recognize the real
It takes a brave heart to resist temptation
To take the easy way and reinvent the wheel
(Yeah)
A friend of mine finds Mr. Right every other Friday night
At a smoky singles bar
And she can't seem to understand why life don't go like she plans

Dixie Fire
Im not a stranger to passion,
Ive seen a lot of love in my time
Felt that physical attraction,
From the touch in the heat of the night
Been all over the country,
Started my share of new flames
But after all is said and done,
Theres only one that remains
Dixie fire burnin down in my soul
Dixie fire it never leaves me whole
It took a hometown girl to show me
How cruel these hot summer nights can be
Now theres a Dixie fire burning in the heart of me
Burning in the heart of me
Searching for some kind of direction,
Looking for a guiding light
Needed to see a lighthouse,
Like a ship on a stormy night
Somehow you heard my music,
You felt the sadness in me
