Talking In Your Sleep

I heard you talking in your sleep
Is there anything that I can do
I dont believe weve had a word all day
bout anything at all
I heard you talking in the night
Thats right, yes I heard ya call
Though I could hardly hear the name you spoke
Its a name I dont recall
I heard you softly whisper
I reached out to hold you near me
Then from your lips there came that secret
I was not supposed to know
I heard you talking in your sleep
Is there anything that I can say
I dont believe weve had a word all day
bout anything at all
I heard you talking in the night
Thats right, yes I heard ya call
Though I could hardly hear the name you spoke
Its a name I dont recall

If Theres A Reason

If you should need me deep in the night
My arms around you in shades of twilight
If theres a reason for livin without me
Just let me know and Ill move on
Down to the station with the big wheels burnin
Gonna get my ticket to play out that role which Ive been given
Home is where the heart is
But at times a good home must be broken
The wine has grown bitter
From the harsh words we have spoken
If theres a chance for someone else
To make you feel life is worth livin
Give it a try oh lady
Just let me know and Ill move on
Home is where the heart is
But at times a good home must be broken
The wine has grown bitter
From the harsh words we have spoken
If you should need me deep in the night
At shades of twilight

Movin'

Everybody's movin', movin' across the town,
The skyline grows and the cut of the clothes,
Is enough to turn you around.
Oh, oh the future is just an hour away,
And the hearts of youth are aflame,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
Fields are turnin', the bridges are burnin',
And the light turns night into day.
It's the time to stake it or make it or break it,
For the time flies quickly away.
Oh, oh it's the time to start makin' your mark,
And it's the time to get in the game!
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
Upwards, outwards, all around,
They're reachin' for the sky.
The ribbons of highway and roads of steel,
It's a time to be alive!
Oh, oh, ain't no ragin' river that we can't cross,
Nor giant too tall to be slain,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!

In My Fashion

In my fashion I have been a good man
I have loved and I have lost
Ever after I will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
There have been times, I have seen the reaper
In the bad times, and in the good
I have bent down, I have touched the ground
Saying prayers and touching wood
In my fashion, I have been a father
I have loved and been loved in return
From the ashes, I have kept the homefires
Burning after all was said and done
Now take a look at me
Do I look like the kind of guy
The kinda fool who went to school
And had to stand on a stool,
Because he couldnt come t terms with a slide rule
Take a look around again
Is it any different now than it was then
In my fashion I have been a good man

Sometimes I Dont Mind

Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rain
Sometimes I dont mind the fun times
Sometimes theyre all the same
When Im thinking of you
Theres a fever around I dont know what to do
When Im drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rest
Sometimes I dont mind a good time
Sometimes I do whats best
When Im thinking of you
Theres a feeling inside which is long overdue
When Im drinking to you
I get down in the mouth tell me what can I do
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the change
Sometimes I dont mind a fun time
To me its all the same

If You Got It

If you got it
Dont lose it girl its got to be
The one creative thing thats left for you and me
If you find it
Dont lose it all the very next day
Lock it in your soul and throw the key away
So, dont you let it go
Let it stay let it grow
Like the snow
Dont let it melt away
If you find it
Then give it girl with all your might
Forget about yourself youre not the losin kind
If you get it
Then keep it cool dont let it die
You may only see it once dont let it pass you by
So dont you let it go
Let it stay let it grow
Like the snow
Dont let it melt away

Slide On Over

Mommas got her long dress on
See how that little girl walks
Now we got it rollin, howre we gonna get it stopped
Mommas got something
Daddy needs more than a lot
Now we got it rolling, howre we gonna get it stopped
Momma put your long dress on
Id like to take that little girl to town
Now that we have rolled it, howre we gonna hold it down
Gonna slide on over to that pretty little love that Ive found
Now weve got it rolling, howre we gonna hold it down
Now mommas got her long dress on
Listen to that little girl talk
Now we got it rolling, howre we gonna get it stopped
Gonna slide on over to that funny little love that Ive got
Now we got it rolling, howre we gonna get it stopped
Cause my mommas got something, daddy needs more than a lot
Now we got it rolling, how we gonna get it stopped

Long River

Where the long river flows
It flows by my window
Where the tall timber grows
It grows round my door
Where the mountains meet the sky
And the white clouds fly
Where the long river flows
By my window
Theres a tiny bird that calls
And he calls by my window
Theres a lonely tear that falls
And it falls round my door
But when the sun is high
Theres no time to cry
Where the long river flows
By my window
Now if only you could see
The closin of the day
If only you could be
Where the dawn breaks away

Knotty Pine

Shes my knotty pine
She leans with the wind
She cries turpentine
Sometimes she nettles me
But I dont mind
Only now and then
When her branches lean beneath the snow
Shes knotty but nice
Reaching for the sky
She dont like snow n ice
To leave things as they stand
Is my advice
Shes been good to me
So I tend to go there when I can
Shes my knotty pine
Such a pretty scene
She tries to be kind
She gives birds a home
And shelters them
In her coat of green

Fine As Fine Can Be

Youre as soft as the rose
Youre as sweet as the honey
Youre as warm as the bright morning sun
Youre as cool as the breeze on the last days of april
Youre as fine as fine can be
Youre like time is to space
Youre like faith is to trustin
Youre like blue is to feelin unkind
Youre like joy is for love,
Youre like dreams are for chasin
Youre as fine as fine can be
And when I am gone my thoughts are all with you
Youre my little angel you see
Youre as bright as the moon
Youre as light as a feather
Youre as fine as fine can be
Like the rain is for the crops
Youre like food for my thoughts
Youre like true is for knowin whats not
Youre like leaves are for trees
