Operator, please connect me with 1982
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to
They say hindsight's 20/20
But I'm nearly goin' blind
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
It's that same ol' lost love story

When you where born
There in your mothers arms
an angel told me
always you will be
a gift of love from God to me
though your road is long
I'll be right by your side
through changes you'll see

"A Man Ain't Made Of Stone"

I was supposed to be the rock that you could stand on
Stronger than an old oak tree
But all you ever wanted was the one thing
I never let you see -
The tender side of me
I tried to be a mountain, solid and strong

Ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Powerstearin wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog

I'd do anything if you just let me hold you
I'd do anything to change your mind
I'd climb the highest mountain or swim the deepest ocean
Anything to make you mine
Anything, anytime
Day or night, rain or shine
There ain't nothin' I won't do
Oh, to get to you

The summer breeze made ripples on the pond
And rattled through reeds and willow trees beyond
Daddy in his good hat and mom in her sunday dress
Watched with pride as I stood there in the water up to my chest
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing Blood
As I sank my toes into that cool East Texas mud

Chorus

Blue mesa, land of the Sioux and Crow
Blue mesa, no matter where I go
You will always be home, sweet, home to me
Blue mesa

Moonlight shines as
Purple shadows fall
Silence broken by the lonesome

Well I'm goin' to California where they sleep out every night yeah
I'm goin' to California where they sleep out every night
I'm leaving you mama cause you know you don't treat me right.

Let me tell you something mama that you don't know
Let me tell you something good gal that you don't know
Well I'm a do-right papa and got home everywhere I go yeah.

Well, He swings in a saddle
He's a real gone cat
With his spanish spurs
And his buckaroo hat
His camps in an old log shack
Way back in the sticks.
He loves ta tie 'em down
And burn their hide

You know, I've got so many problems
And lately, I've been feelin' kinda down
I hear you're the one I should talk to
I hear you're the best healer around
Doctor Jesus, will you help me?
Make me better, make me whole
Doctor Jesus, Lord I need you
To mend my heart, and save my soul

Songwriters: BOBBY WHITESIDE, KIM TRIBBLE

Daddy should'a been a preacher man
'Cause everybody loved to hear him speak
He didn't always follow his own advice
But we got a sermon every week
He'd say trouble always starts as fun
And broken hearts will always mend

It seems no matter how far I may roam
Like some ol' tumbleweed my thoughts go tumblin' back home
In memory I recall those simpler times
And a way of life I never left behind.
Down at the old corral
Just sittin'
Watchin' the sun go down
Oh, How I'm wishin' that I

You were pure to me as fresh untraveled snow
Skin as soft as a petal, of an uncut rose
I gave you all I had
Everything I owned
Right down to the pedestal, I put you on
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away.

Songwriters: TRADITIONAL/ANDERSON

Tempted and tried
We're oft made to wonder
Why it should take us
All the day long
While there are others
Living about us

You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be
You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die - oh baby

"Good Intentions"

Mama always prayed that I'd be a better man than daddy
And I determined not to let her down
Deserted by the man she loved and left to raise four children
We were the local gossip of the town.

I promised her that I'd live right and not be like the others

Since the day I was led to temptation
And in weakness did let your love down
I have prayed that with time and compassion
You'd come around
And I keep waiting for you to forgive me
And you keep saying you can't even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart

He's got the whole world, in His hands,

He's got the whole wide world, in His hands,

He's got the whole world, in His hands,

He's got the whole world in His hands . . .

Don't you cry __ don't you moan
Hang your head down all night long
That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new
It's in your walk, it's in your talk
There's only one way to shake it off,
You got to get to it before it gets to you
So Put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop

Silver bells are ringing
Carolers are singing
Snowflakes drifting through the air
Everybody shopping
Got no time for stopping
It looks like Christmas is here
(So tell me )

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.

If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?

"I'm Gonna Have A Little Talk With Jesus"
(feat. Take 6)

I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus
When I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles
And I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me

"If You Only Knew"

By my grandfather's bed, my mother is reading,
Psalm 62, God is our refuge,
My grandfather stirs, could it be,
He is waking, one final time,
He has something to say,

Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient
And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time
You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall
Just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine

Chorus:
Is it still over, are we still through

Someday, someway you'll realise that you've been blind
Yes darling, you're going to need me again
It's just a matter of time
Go on, go on til you reach the end of the line
Cause I know you'll pass my way again
It's just a matter of time
After I gave you everything I had

"Keep Your Lure In The Water"

Keep your lure in the water, don't just sit by the shore
There are souls to be caught everywhere in this old world
Go where hearts are plenty, don't just drift with the tide
Keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life

The lord said, "Simon, haul your nets in

You say love is just a lie
And it always ends
With a sad goodbye
It makes you hurt
It makes you cry
But I say wait
Let me try
Let me lay my hands

I remember how it used to feel
Riding down old two mile hill
Tennis shoes up on the handle bars
Paying no mind to the passing cars
No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here
No chains, no strings, no fences, no walls
No net, just you to catch me when I fall
Look heart, no hands

Back when I was still in school
I got taught as a rule
That my heart could always fool my head
So I tripped and fell a lot
Learning what true love was not
Till one evening Mama said we ought to talk

She said love is a gamble

I know a man we call him poor boy Jones
He's never been a 100 miles from home
He's got a pretty good farm
And a level head
A heart of gold

No satelite dish for his TV set
And he ain't on lie with the internet

"One Word Song"

When I'm feelin' lonely
And I'm far away from home
I just sing out your name
Like a one word song.

In a moment of weakness

There's a point when you cannot walk away
When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the words you say
There's a point you must decide just to do it 'cause it's right
That's when you become a point of light

There's a darkness that everyone must face
It wants to take what's good and fair and lay it all to waste
And that darkness covers everything in sight

Everybody gathered where the river runs wider
At the edge of town
To see if that Eddie Lee Vaughn baptism
Was really gonna go down

Folks bet their hard earned money that water wouldn't change a thing
They set the odds at a hundred to one his soul wouldn't never come clean
Then the preacher said, "People take a moment or two

"Rise And Shine"

A baby in a manger, the town of Bethlehem
The wise men had the heart to know He was the great I Am
They crossed the desert many miles to kneel down at His feet
The star that led them seemed to tell them what had come to be

The Son's gonna rise and shine

I will not drown in shallow water
Not with your love within my reach
I did not come this far to falter
And will not rest until I'm free

You are the sun you are the flower
You are the wind across the sea
And I will kneel here at your alter

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
See, on the portals, He's waiting and watching;
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;

"That's Where I Draw The Line"

Hope you didn't burn too many bridges
On your way back to haunt my heart
'Cause it's safe behind these stones and ridges
You know how us healin' victims are
I take comfort where I find it
In the neon and the crowds

The writing is on the wall, baby
We're different as day and night
But I guess that I refused to face it
The blues in black and white

When I got home I knew, baby
Something was wrong tonight
When I found the note you wrote ,it gave

"There'll Always Be A Honky Tonk Somewhere"

There may no be a Superbowl in 2083
Cars and trains and video games will all be history
The world just keeps on changing, things come and then they go
Nothing lasts forever except one thing I know

There'll always be a honky tonk

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education,
An' two of them were searchin' for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,

"Through The Fire"

So many times I've questioned certain circumstances
Or things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
And my frustrations get so out of hand
It's then I am reminded I've never been forsaken
I've never had to stand the test alone

I can't believe I'm standing out here in the yard
Starin' at those tread marks you left with your car
Before you get too far out of town
I hope you turn it around
I didn't think you had it in you
Who'd have thought you'd really leave
It's kind of like some movie I wish I'd never seen
You left and left my world upside down

"Walk With Me"

Walk with me through darkness
Every day and every night
Walk with me through the darkness
Walk with me until I reach the light.

We all stumble on life's journeys

Songwriters: MATTHEWS, KYLE DAVID

We fall down
At the feet of Jesus.
The greatness of
The mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus.
And we cry, ''Holy, holy, holy.''

"When Mama Prayed"

Daddy never went to church on Sunday
He said that's one thing I'll never do
But mama never gave up she said one day
He'll be sitting here beside of me and you
I can still hear mama softly talking
With her tears falling on her folded hands

Would I
Would I
Would I

Would I go out honky tonkin' with you ever night
Dance every dance 'til I got them all right
Would I do every step the way you thought I should?
If I had you baby maybe yes I would

Well if you love your mama and you treat her right
But she keeps on fussin' at you every day and night
Then she's triflin' on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind
Now if your mama's mean take a tip from me
Lock her up at home Lord just hang on to the key
'Cause she trifle on ye they'll do it every time
And when your baby starts to steppin' Lord you nearly lose your mind
