Come on weather man give us a forecast snoowy white
Can't you hear the prayers of every childlike heart tonight
Rockies are callin', denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep, but it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter, i'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender tennessee christmas, the only chirstmas for me
Where the love circles arounf us like th gifts around our tree
Well i know there's more snow up in colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender tennessee christmas is the only christmas for me

Every now and then i get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe california, maybe tinsel town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for new year's eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting, still i think i'm gonna keep

Another tender tennessee christmas, the onyl christmas for me
Where the love circles around us like the gifts around our tree
Well they say in l.a. it's a warm holiday, it's th only place to be
A tender tennessee christmas, is the only christmas for me

Well i know there's more snow up in colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender tennessee christmas is the only christmas for me
A tender tennessee christmas is the only christmas for me

She and i live in our own little world
Don't worry about the world outside
She and i agree
She and i lead a perfectly normal life
Ah but just because we aren't often seen socially
People think we've got something to hide.
But all our friends know we're just a little old fashioned
She and i

Oh ain't it great
Aint it fine
To have a love for someone that others can't find
Aint it wonderful to know all we ever need is just the two of us
She and i
So wonderful
She and i

She and i share with every body else
The same wants, needs and desires
She and i save
She and i pay on everything we acquire

Ah but just because we aren't often seen separately
People think we live one life.

Its hard for them to see how anyone could be as close as
She and i

Chorus
Song, song of the south.
Sweet potato pie and i shut my mouth.
Gone, gone with the wind.
There ain't nobody looking back again.

Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch.
We all picked the cotton but we never got rich.
Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat.
They oughta get a rich man to vote like that.

Sing it...
Chorus

Well somebody told us wall street fell
But we were so poor that we couldn't tell.
Cotton was short and the weeds were tall
But mr. roosevelt's a gonna save us all.

Well momma got sick and daddy got down.
The county got the farm and they moved to town.
Pappa got a job with the tva
He bought a washing machine and then a chevrolet.

Sing it...
Chorus

Play it...

Sing it...
Chorus

Song, song of the south...
Gone, gone with the wind...

Song, song of the south.
Sweet potato pie and i shut my mouth.
Song, song of the south.
Sweet potato pie and i shut my mouth.

Sing it...
Chorus 2x

Written by ronnie rogesrs & swain schaefer

Smilin' faces on city streets, crowded shoppers, busy feet
And every smile just seems to say, we're having some happy holidays

Twinklin' lights on christmas trees, kids up on santa's kneww
Busy lines on telephones, sending a merry christmas home

Bells ringing everywhere, season spirit in the air
Up and down the avenue, holiday dreams comin' true

A choir singing songs of cheer, carols we all love to hear
Rudolph with his glowin' nose, lovers under mistletoe

Postman bringin' christmas cards, reindeer out in the yard
Frosty with his eyes of coal, present wrapped in pretty bows

Sidewalks full of happy eyes, flakes fallin' from the sky
Boys and girls at the big parade to see st. nick up on his sleigh

The scene is set, it's beautiful, sounds of peace, joy and love
From all of us we'd like to say, have yourself some happy holidays

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till you get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like i asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)

It's monday morning, he's kissin' momma goodbye
He's up and gone with the sun
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And he's off on a midwest run
As three sad faces gather round momma
They ask her when daddy's comin' home
Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And they sure miss him when he's gone (yeah they do)
Ah, but he calls them everynight and he tells them that he loves them
And he taught them this song to sing

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like i asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)

It's wednesday evening, momma's waitin by the phone
It rings but it's not his voice
Seems the highway patrol has found a jacknifed rig
In a snow bank in illinois
But the driver was missin' and the search had been abandoned

For the weather had everything strong
And they had checked all the houses and local motels
When they had somemore news they'd call
And she told them when they found him to tell him that she loved him
And she hung up the phone singin'

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like i asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on

Momma and the children will be waiting up all night long
Thinkin' nothing but the words just comin'
With the ringin' of the telephone
Oh, but the man upstairs was listening
When momma asked him to bring daddy home
And when the call came in it was daddy on the other end
Askin' her if she had been singin' the song, singin'

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like i asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler

(chorus)
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like i asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on (roll on)

Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler
Eighteen-wheeler

Roll on
Roll on

Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up let the wind blow
Through our hair love is reckless let's get reckless tonight

Verse 1:
There ain't nothin' out here but a big ol' texas sky
There's a red sun painted across the coming night
Well, your daddy's got plans for you
And mine thinks i'm at school
They say it's reckless to chase a dream
But this town's got nothing for you and me

Chorus:
Let's roll the windows down, turn the radio up
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside, baby
We're gettin out of here.
I could care less where it leads us
Love is reckless let's get reckless tonight

Verse 2:
Let's take my thunderbird and leave tonight,
I'll keep the pedal to the floor till we see the morning light.
They can't live our lives for us,
If we let them we'll lose our love.
And love dies hard in this texas sun,
I'd rather be reckless and on the run

Chorus


When you're crazy in love you gotta take a chance,
Burn the bridge and don't look back.
Turn the radio up roll the windows down
Let the wind blow through our hair
There's a moon tonight and a road outside,
Baby we're gettin' out of here
Roll the windows down.
Turn the radio up

By lionel richie and alabama

Deep river woman
Lord i'm comin home to you
Deep river woman
Lord i know she's waiting
Just anticipating all my love


Spent a night in la
Just another chance to see you
Just you and i
Wanted you to know
That my playin days are over
Cause all i do is think of you
The writings on the wall

== chorus ==

I've been out in the world
I guess the fast lif had me going
Now all tha's changed
Finally made up my mind
Bout the one thing i've been knowing
You're the only girl
I've ever cared for in this world

== chorus ==
Your kind of love girl is forever
Took me a long time to realize
That i've come so far to end up going nowhere
Girl i need you by my side

== chorus ==
== chorus ==

Run your fingers through my hair and softly kiss my lips
Hold me close in your embrace and love me face to face

Face to face heart to heart body to body
Tingling tangle feelings lovers face to face

I'll caress your body and hold you close to me
I'll slide my hands around your waist and love you face to face

Face to face heart to heart body to body
Lips on lips arm and arm body to body
Tingling tangle feelings lovers face to face

Softly say you love me as you make love to me
No one else can take your place
we happen face to face

Written by john schweers and byron hill

Clear creeks and cool mountain mornin's.
Honest work out in the fields.
Cornbread in my momma's kitchen.
Daddy saying grace before the meal.
Family ties run deep in this land.
And i'm never very far from what i am.

Chorus
I was born country and that's what i'll always be.
Like the rivers and the woodlands wild and free.
I got a hundred years of down home running through my blood.
I was born country and this country's what i love.

Moonlight and you here beside me.
Crickets serenadin' in the yard.
What more could two people ask for.
Laying here in love beneath the stars.
Now this is where i wanna raise my kids.
Just the way my mom and daddy did.

Chorus 2x
I was born country

Written by john jarrard and wendell mobley

You're laying right beside me, but you're a million miles away
And if i ask you what's the matter
You don't have much to say
And i can tell that i'm not standing
Where i stood with you before
We can't love like this, anymore

Sometimes it makes me angry, but mostly it just hurts
I thought time might make it better
But it only made it worse
And i can't climb these walls you're building
And i can't unlock the door
We can't love like this anymore

We're coming to a crossroad, i can tell
I'm not sure we'd be this lonely by ourselves
But i won't give up as long as there's a chance
So where we go from here is in your hands

Just say it's over, and at least i'll know for sure
We can't love like this, anymore
We can't love like this, anymore

There's a light, in your eyes tonight.
You know i know that look anywhere.
You got plans, and i'm one lucky man.
Before we get so carried away,
Theres just something i've been wanting to say.

When we make love
Its more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much i care
When we make love
Oh its such a precious time
We share our hearts, our souls and our minds...
When we make love

Watching you, make your little moves
Well i can tell its gonna be a long night
All day long, we keep holding on
It couldn't be any better than this
I got it all in my fingertips

When we make love
Oh, its more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much i care.
When we make love
Oh, its such a precious time
We share our hearts our souls and our minds...

These moments..these feelings..mmmmmm

When we make love
Its more to me than just an affair
I want you to know how much i care
When we make love
Oh, its such a precious time.
We share our hearts our souls and our minds...

Now lets make love, sweet love

Written by randy albright, john grenebaum & becky hobbs

There's a blanket of snow coverin' up the old road to the house where i was
Raised
Through the window i see the lights on the tree and a glow from the old
Fireplace
Though it all looks the same so much as changed from the way it used to be

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Still those christmas memories make me cry

Now the stockings are filled; the house is still and the kids are dreamin' away
There's that old easy chair, me and daddy sat there waitin' for santa's sleigh
Now daddy's gone but we carry on 'cause the little ones will need...

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Oh they mean so much to me
Those christmas memories make me cry

Written by susan longacre, walt aldridge, and gary baker

There's a road that i remember leading to a special place
Where the door was always open to a smiling face
There's a picture on the mantle of a boy that looks like me
It's always the same, there's a stocking with my name

And a candle in the window, a flame against the night
There's a candle in the window, it's like god's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window

Maybe it's just wishful thiking i can hear the sleigh bells ring
Almost taste teh pie she's baking, it's christmas eve

And there's a candle in the window, a flame against the night
The candle in the window, it's like god's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and christmas in your heart

Wherever the years may take me no matter how far i go
There's going to be a candle burning, it's always nice to know
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and christmas in your heart

Chorus
I'm in a hurry to get things done
(oh,) i rush & rush until life's no fun
All i really gotta do is live & die
But, i'm in a hurry & don't know why

Don't know why
I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It's not new, but it'll 0-60 in 5.2, oh

Chorus

Can't be late
I leave in plenty of time
Shakin' hands with the clock
I can't stop
I'm on a roll & i'm ready to rock oh,

Chorus

I hear a voice
It says i'm running behind
I better pick up my pace
It's a race & there ain't no room for someone in 2nd place

Chorus 4x

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 everybody's full of cheer
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

Well, i've waited all year long and nore the year is almost gone
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, hangin' 'round the mistletoe

But if that's what i've 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 ain't gonna miss one kiss, that's one thing you'll never miss
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletow waitin' for you dear

Well, i've had my eyes on you for a long, long time
So, i'm asking santa please, make that pretty girl mine

Waited till i'm cold and blue just to get a kiss from you
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

Hangin' 'round the mistletoe, waitin' for you dear

If we could leave this big old city
And head back for the cabin we loved back deep in the woods
Whoa baby we would
If we could jump in some big old jet plane & head for the islands
Where the weather is always good
Oh don't you know we would
Well we can't do this & we can't do that
But baby we can stay right where we're at
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little time leave it all behind
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight


We could go downtown to a nightclub
And dance to the rythm of the music on that old hardwood
Whoa baby we could
We could call up rita & bobby
And see what they're doing tonight & maybe play some rook
Yeah baby we could

Yeah now we can do this or we can do that
Or baby we can stay right where we're at
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little time leave it all behind
Take a little trip you and me out of sight
Pull down the shades turn out the lights
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little trip me and you out of sight
Pull down the shades turn out the lights
Take a little trip up to heaven tonight

Who hoo hoo
Who hoo hoo
Who hoo hoo
Who hoo hoo

the city's full of manger scenes
And stores lit up in red and green.
But down the road just out of town
There's 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")
And everything that it stands for.
The birthday we all celebrate (delete "and why")
Is still our favorite holiday (delete "everyone's")

Chorus

Wherever you find old thistlehair
There'll be music in the air.
He dances 'round the christmas tree
Every single new year's eve. (delete "christmas")
Then he and all his furry friends
Gather 'round the fire again. (delete entire line)
Singin' 'bout the angels' wings
Gifts of love that christmas brings. (delete "and the")

Chorus
