Song Title: Bowie Street

Jesus walked down Bowie Street for a sabbath's night stroll Cries led both His feet right to the front door He was greeted with hugs and kisses and He held them both in HIs arms Wiped tears from both their faces and carried them home  Box of crayons on the floor beneath the bed Every single one of them were colored red But in the quiet you could almost hear them sing That old sweet song, when angels get their wings  Singing, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah  Next day flowers covered up the yellow tape Everyone drove by to see this place of fate The cops, they did their job just another God forbid Then they all ran home and kissed their wife and kids  Singing hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah  Ring around the rosies, pockets full of gold What goes up must come down at least that's what we're told But Jesus walked down Bowie Street and took them both by the hand Healed their broken hearts and led them to the promised land  Singing, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Singing, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Song Title: Better Late Than Never

Better Late Than Never   by Dan Crump 50% & Darden Smith 50%    Get off work liquor store, drive thru 8 o'clock home  Shoes off, put a record on, maybe watch a movie alone  It's the one that you never liked, but that don't matter no more  I like how I'm living since the day you walked out the door    You thought I'd be lonely  You thought I'd be blue  Better late than never I see  I'm better off without you  I’m a slow learner  Took a heartbreak or two  But better late than never I see  I’m better off without you  Friday night pack the car, fishing all weekend long  Nighttime count the stars, count the days since you've been gone  And I count all the ways that I loved you and thought you loved me  Blind Love, time flies, truth hurts, but it set me free    You thought I'd be lonely  You thought I'd be blue  Better late than never I see  I'm better off without you  I’m a slow learner  Took a heartbreak or two  But better late than never I see  I’m better off without you

Song Title: Seattle I’m Coming Home

Seattle I’m Coming Home   Seattle I’m coming home   I missed your rains and your blue clear  skies   Winds whispering by my side   The City ignites the emerald glows   Mountain high and valley low   Seattle I’m coming home   The way you spoke seemed like lies   My heart choked and my eyes were blind   What my love meant to you   I’m digging up my roots   Seattle I’m coming home   Break   I lost my love she played games   I never once had my way   She went astray she pulled my strings   Hazy crazy jaded nights   all alone I’m walking in pain   Every dog needs a life   Seattle I’m Coming Home   Seattle I’m coming home   Seattle I’m coming home   Seattle I’m coming home today   I’m on my way I’m leaving today   I miss your rains and your blue gray skies   In the sun the emerald shines   Mountain high the valley flows   Flying fast to have my fun   Seattle   Seattle

Song Title: Devil Came to Georgia

Yeah, I guess the strings are doing things  There’s a whole lotta life that just keeps passing by  You can fall too far behind fighting memories in the wings…    There's hearses tracing broken asphalt,  There's jasmine in the breeze.  I guess it ain't nobody's fault, but I guess you can believe it if you need it.  But I'd rather call the coroner   To take me whole or one by one in pieces, wearing out.  But wrap me up in something you can see right thru  Just like I was born in.    Yeah, I guess the strings are doing things...I wound up walking through the same old doors again without asking how...  How'd I get here?    The devil came to Georgia...  Taught me how to hold ya:  Stay empty so I'm easier to see right through -- easy to confuse: transparent as the pockets of an old man with the blues.    “Do you wanna see my fiddle?”  Says the asshole to the first chair violin  Aw, but she said, “yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…”  If you can play the devil went down to Georgia…  If you can play the devil went down…    'Cause I was born there on a summer night - Screaming in the corner on a rainy nite in Georgia.  Thunder clapped but no one heard me sing.     Ya know, I used to do porn.   The Rent was never late.  Time filled up with empty space.  It got to where I couldn't come if no one’s gettin paid…  So, I guess the strings are doing things.  There’s a whole lotta life here...whole lotta life here  Asleep there in the corner. I was born here, ya know?  A rainy nite in Georgia…    But now there's hearses pacing broken asphalt,   Graveside with the sinking of the sun.  And there's wedding bells. And newborn babies.   It's just a wheel inside a wheel inside another one.  So ,rosin up your bow and breathe out...breathe out.  Feel the swerve and breathe out...breathe out    The Devil came to Georgia...Taught me how to hold ya  So empty you can see right thru, but his tricks don't seem to work on you.  So, I guess the strings are doing things to me.  Stayin empty keeps me easy to confuse:  Transparent as the pockets of an old man with the blues.

Song Title: We Can Sail Away (aka The Mailman Song)

V1
For thirty years he carried the letters from places he’d never seen, And dreamed of a life he could have with his wife, Whenever he got the means, Then came the day he collected his pay, said it was time for them to go, They bought a boat and set it afloat and sailed down to Veracruz, Mejico saying

Chorus
We can sail away out on the wide ocean
We can take ourselves a little cruise
We can go anywhere that we get the notion
Or we can stay right down there in Veracruz

Verse 2
They bought a casita bien hermosita en una bella bahia, With nothing to do but stare at the blue, Comiendo melon y sandia, Escaping the cold like they were told they enjoyed each and every day, Passing the time with tequila and wine but sometimes he would still say

Chorus

Verse 3
With freedom to go- no one to say no but they could not leave mejico, So without fail, they used the mail and wrote letters to all their amigos, The years flew by in the blink of an eye yet they stayed right on the bay, Though once in a while she could see him smile and this is what he would say

Chorus

TAG
Or we can stay right here down in Veracruz
Let’s just stay right down in Veracruz.

Song Title: I'm never lonely in Texas without you in my arms


I'm alone in Texas - without you in my arms  I would not be real - if I did not tell you the truth   As you can see the pain in my eyes  Just as your sweet hand in mine  Your love is something special that I cannot deny  I would really be alone in Texas if you were not with me tonight    I’m never lonely in Texas - without you in my arms  You’ve camped out inside of me, living in my heart  You keep me close and I feel it all the time  No matter the situation, time or place  Your love is something special that I cannot deny  It’s always the perfect frame of mind  To have you in heart like Texas tonight  Bridge/Solo    Where I lay my head down - it would be with you tonight  Under a blanket of stars somewhere as the crickets play in the night  your love is a special thing that I cannot deny  There is no need to worry or to cry  I'm never alone In Texas or anywhere else tonight  One more dance around the room, as you quietly turn  Out the light.    *No matter the situation, place or time  Your love is a special thing that I cannot deny  It’s always nice to be in a perfect frame of mind  I’m never lonely in Texas without you in my arms tonight X2 and end

Song Title: Lets get back to what we had in mind


I know you're here with me,   through the good times and the bad   through the happy and sad  I wouldn't have it any other way     now and then  we get tangled up in this crazy ol’world  But as time goes faster  we feel we lost our way    Let's get back to what we always had in mind  Let's close our eyes and dance till the end of time  and I'll spin you around the room as much as you want     let's get back to what we've always had in mind     When the lights turn out finally tonight   In your arms is where we hold each other tight  And we wonder away for a moment  Where our love was so brand new  That drove us right together and there was no full moon.

Song Title: And They Dance


VERSE  Their favorite song’s a Love Song  When Conway sings, they sing along (to)  “Hello Darlin’ “ on the radio.    They were dancing in the moonlight  Before we made the Moon Flight, when  Everything was simpler, and slow.    Pre CHORUS  And they’re out there on the dance floor,  Doing what it’s meant for;  For one song at a time Love lasts forever.    For more than fifty years,  Through laughter, tears and fears  Those boots and bare feet have spun around together.    CHORUS  And they dance.  And they hold on to each other, like nobody else will ever come between them.  And they dance.  Half a century together; they leave a mark on anyone who’s ever seen them.    And they look into each other’s eyes,  And smile and think about happy times,  And in two steps they leave the world behind,  And they dance.    VERSE  She’ll be the first to tell you; love ain’t some modern kind of glue,  It’s commitment, and a job to do, and a thing worth doing with all of your might.  It’s trouble and toil all day long, and loving them even when they’re wrong,  And making sure it’s good by Saturday night.    ‘Cause they’ll be…  Pre CHORUS / CHORUS / TAG

Song Title: Take Care Of My Baby


Take Care Of My Baby  (C) Tony Barker    Take care of my baby  Take care of my baby’s heart.  It’s broken and fragile, like yours,  Like all of us are.    Be good in the good times  Be kind when it’s hard to be kind.  ‘Cause that’s when it matters;  That’s when it’s all on the line.    You don’t have to agree,  But you have to agree to play fair.  Take a breath and remember  That someone you love is right there.    Promise each other  You’ll be the nicest person they know.  ‘Cause the biscuits will burn,  And you’re gonna be late to the show.    But that’s nothing to Love,  When love is cared for and fed.  And that’s how love survives the journey  From the heart to the head.    So do more of your share of forgiving,  In these coming years.  And I promise you both the treasure  Of unshed tears.    And I hope that neither one of you  Ever “wins” a single argument.    Be good to each other;  Laugh, and keep love alive.  So that you’re lovers tonight, and  Still friends when you’re a hundred and five.
