We’ve got the winning
colors....red, white, and blue
This land was built....for me and you
We’ll keep working hard....and carry it through
We’ve got the winning colors...red, white, and blue
Sometimes there’s
other lands...that don’t like where we stand
But when they’re down and out....we’re there to lend
a hand
If they don’t have human rights....for good people
working day and night
Look over your shoulder...here comes the stars and
stripes.
Sitting on the front
porch, watching the sun go down
Waiting on you to come back from town.
I’ve been thinking how long you been gone
Wanting you back to our mountain home.
On a cold, cold night,
with the moon so bright
Loving you makes everything right
Hand in hand, hearts so bright
Warms me up on a cold, cold night.
I walked the stairs to
my bedroom
Opened up that old dresser drawer
My mind took me back in time
I’m gonna close it up, I can’t take it anymore
I’m not gonna read those old love letters
Not gonna break my heart any more
I’m not gonna read those old love letters
Not gonna let them tear my world apart.
Woke up this morning...turned the radio on
Listened for something for my heart and soul
Heard the DJ talking...about what was happening
All around the town and what was going on
An old song was playing...the words they kept saying
Took me back to many years ago
Now I know what they mean...when I heard the DJ say;
Give me one more song...let's sing along
Listen to the sounds...give me one more song
Give me one more song...let's sing along
Listen to the sounds...give me one more song
“Living On The Edge” -------------------
I could be living on a
planet with nobody else around
I could be standing on a mountain watching another
town go down
I wonder in my mind just what it’s all about
Got no friends left standing and my mind is all in
doubt
I want to go back in time but I’m living on the edge
I’m living on the edge of my life
Looks like it’s all coming down
Where is the good living?
Don’t we count in our town?
We’re living on the edge
“My Heart Fell At Her Feet” -------------
I went to put a show
on in the mountains
Met a girl that was so neat
After talking a while and walking the creek
I knew she was the girl for me
My heart fell at her feet
My body trembled, I couldn’t speak
With her smile she could melt the heart of a child
My heart fell at her feet
“Living On Credit” -----------------------
I checked the mail
this morning
Many cards were sent to me
I was so happy
Started Jumping up and down and feeling free
I called up my girl
To go shopping downtown
I had enough plastic in my pocket
To turn the whole world around
I'm living on credit
And I'm all maxed out
As long as those cards keep coming
I'll keep spending no doubt
“You Can’t Hold On” ---------------------
Got a big house and a
brand new car
Fences 'round the place and statues in the yard
Having a party, laying around the pool
Friends and neighbors 'round the barbeque
Acting like a fool holding on to you
Music is rocking, making us feel so good
You can't hold on...to
what you've got
Unless you work hard...and spend a lot
It's hard to hold on...to what you've got
“Whatever Happened
In Your World” -----
I remember when we
first met
Hand in hand our dreams were coming true
Never ever wanting to go nowhere
Unless I was walking with you
Whatever happened in
your world
I can see it written all over your face
Whatever happened in your world
Seems like your heart is in another place
“Money, Sex, And Rock 'N' Roll” ----------
I like living with the
girls that please my soul
Have plenty of money, that is my goal
Music that is rocking makes me feel good and bold
Flashy cars and dressing so fine
Bright lights a glowing having us a good time
Everybody rocking way beyond bedtime
Money, sex and rock n’ roll
That’s what I need to please my soul

“Staying In Touch”
----------------------
Well it don’t take
much
Staying in touch with your friends and buddies
It don’t take much
Staying in touch with all your friends.
Just a keeping in touch.
“What Will The Future Be”
---------------
What will the future
be for the little boys and girls
Somebody please tell me
Will there be laughter, will there be love
Won’t somebody show me what the future will be?
“Money Is The Root
Of All Evil”------------
Money is the root of
all evil
Give me more, more, more
Money is the root of all evil
Give me more, more, more
I need money to buy a house and car
Put food on the table and fix my old guitar
I need money when the tax man comes around
Without money I can’t even shop in town.

“Crossing Over”, Wild Turkey Music Inc./Mountain Rock Music
Inc.
“I’m Crossing Over”----------------------- Lo ResHi Res
The Devil’s not gonna
get me, I’m going to the other side.
I’m gonna fight the devil, not gonna run and hide.
He’s tempted me in every way, been knocking on my
door.
Leading me down the road of evil, I can’t live with
him anymore.
He blocked the road to paradise, but I’m coming
around the other side.
Now I’ve got my sights on glory, and he’ll never
break my stride.
I know he’ll try anything, he tries to be strong and
bold.
I don’t care how hard he tries, he’ll never get my
heart and soul.
I’m crossing over, I’m Heaven bound.
I want to sing with the angels, on God’s holy
ground.
And when I get to Heaven, my friends there I’ll see.
What a joyful reunion, in store for you and me.
“My Guardian Angel”
---------------------------Lo ResHi Res
When I was a young
boy, just five years old
He came and touched me, my heart and soul.
He put a hedge around me night and day.
He’s my Guardian Angel.
He showed me love and how to keep control.
He showed me directions in life that I should go.
He walked beside me and helped me in every way.
He’s my Guardian Angel.
“Lord I’m Nothing
Without You” ---------------Lo ResHi Res
As I watch the sun
come up this morning and I watch it dry away the dew. In my heart I know there would be nothing, Lord there would be nothing without You.
Lord, I’m nothing without You. I can do what You want me to. Walking by your side Lord, I know You’ll see me
through. Oh Lord I’m nothing without You.

“I Created My Own
Trouble”
---------------------Lo ResHi Res
I created my own
trouble...when I walked right out the door
I created my own trouble...couldn’t take it anymore
I met a girl down at
the bar room
Made me feel just like a king
Sittin’, drinkin’, talkin’, and thinkin’
Maybe I’ll toss my wedding ring
I created my own trouble...In my mind I had dreams
I created my own trouble....Sometimes things ain’t
what they seem.
“Falling In Love”
---------------------------------Lo ResHi Res
When I think about
yesterday
How free I was without you
But today has come and I find myself
Forever lost in all of you.
There’s no way out I’ve lost control
You’ve got into my very soul.
I’m falling, falling in love with you
Yes I’m falling, falling in love with you.
I can’t help, help falling in love with you.
I keep falling in love with you.
With the love of my
girl, don’t need diamonds or pearls
With the love of my girl, we can rule the world.
She makes my dreams come true
Everyday brand new
I’ll never be blue
With the love of my girl.
Out in the country, going to have a good old time
My four by four is racing, hear my engine wind
You can sit in the stands and watch us put on a show
Mud flying everywhere with power that will make you
go
I’m strapped in. I know I’m going to win
I’m a driving force
Round and round the track
I ain’t ever looking back
I’m a driving force

“Girls That Look
A
Little Like You” -------------Lo ResHi Res
Well just the other
day
I was haulin’ to Memphis, Tennessee
I was doin’ alright
Until the lonelies got the best of me
I pulled off the highway
To a little honkey tonk that I knew
and there on the bar stool
Sat a girl that looked a little like you.
Well honey you know I love you
And I always intend to be true
But a picture in my billfold
Is kind of hard to make love to
Well it ain’t my fault
I do the things I do
It’s the honkey tonk whisky
And the girls they look a little like you.
“Country Rock And Roll”
----------------------Lo ResHi Res
Country rock and roll,
deep within my soul
Get ready for the action, baby let it happen.
It’s come a long way, It’s here to stay
It’s country rock and roll.
I went to a dance just the other day and I wore out
my shoes.
The music really turned me on.
When I got there I had the blues
But suddenly they were gone.
They played this country, a little bit funky
They called it country rock and roll.
“Making My Move” -----------------------------Lo ResHi Res
Looking for a chance
many years ago
I wrote it in a pick up truck.
Met a pretty thing and we set up house
And that began a lot of hard luck.
Loving her was all that I wanted to do
But she had other things on her mind.
She made me look crazy and a whole lot broke
Now I can’t make my heart drive.
I’m a making my move
I’m a making my move.
Ain’t got nothing to lose
I’m a making my move.
“Looking Out For Number
One”
----------------Lo ResHi Res
She’s my number one
friend, my number one lover
My number one lady, I’m so lucky to love her.
That is why I’ll spend my day
Until my days are done.
Looking out for number one.
You won’t find me out in the bright lights
Spending my time and wining midnight women.
I’m kind of selfish spending my nights
Giving my lady my love and all my attention.

Cash Box
Country Single, March 14, 1987
I’ve got a courthouse full of overdue tickets
The judge knows me and he ain’t going to dig it
He told me son you better change your ways
If you mess up again I’m going to send you away
I’ve got to act fast I’ve got to move on the double
Got to get out of town to stay out of trouble
I’m going to ride into the night. I’m going to fly
away
I’m going to hide out of sight where no one knows my
name

Leaving home with papers in hand
To fight a war that no one understands
Trying to be a man in this strange land
Crawling through the jungle in Vietnam
We salute the boys of Vietnam
We salute the ones that gave it all
We salute the boys of Vietnam
We salute the ones that had to fall
“Something In The Moonlight”
--------------- #92 Cash
Box Country Single,
February 16, 1985
Pick my baby up at nine ‘o five
Late tonight we’re going to jump and jive
Something in the moonlight, something in the
moonlight
Traveling through the shadows and into the night
Whatever we do, it’s going to be alright
Something in the moonlight, something in the
moonlight
Let shine on me, let shine
Let shine on me, let shine on me
“There’s A Different World Inside Of Me”
There's a different world inside of me
There's a different world that you can't see
On the outside it seems I'm free
But there's a different world inside of me
Sometimes I look and Drift and wonder
Searching for thing that I believe
But in my heart I know that they can be
'Cause there's a different world inside of me
