Tennessee, Oh Tennessee
Lord there's nothing like a fall in Tennessee
It was a Smokey Mountain morning, October 25
You know she left here without warning
So I took a long, long drive
Tried to change the state my heart was in
Out of all the places I have been.

Tennes

You were a little older than me
When you bought me my first beer
You liked my company
For the first time in twenty-one years
I've laughed about the good old days
And how you kicked me out of your room
I guess you went through a phase
As your body was starting to bloom

Strapped on my holster low across my hips,
Two Colt .45's with black plastic grips;
And I'd head west through our neighborhood,
And they'd say,
"Here comes young Billy and he's up to no good."
I rode a trail through the neighbor's backyard,
Shootin' the Bad Guys thr

We shared the same last name and the same color eyes
But we fought like tigers over that old red bike
I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove
It wouldn't take long 'til push came to shove
But, we looked out for each other with brotherly love.

You hated girls 'til I had

By my song, you will know the heart that's in me
By my song, you'll know that I am here
Just words and notes together, but
Long after I'm gone
You will know I loved you
By my song.

By my song, you will always be remembered
Yes, you'll live on, just as you are right

When I was young and just a boy
I Had myself a dream
I'd get a horse and ride the range
With Roy and Gene
We'd save the girl in the nick of time
And have the fastest guns
Sing a song while the credits rolled
And disappear into the setting sun

I didn't want to p

Daddy's will was stronger than the winds of a hurricane
Steady as a stone wall never did hear him complain
There were times when we had nothing
But the hope in his eyes
His spirit was unbroken and his faith was never tried.

Chorus:
Daddy's will held us together
Det

You're so good lookin' it ought to be against the law
You got that look in your eyes
Could make a man stumble and fall
You got my attention 'cause honey you got it all
And if you wanna do something about it just lead me on

Don't threaten me with a good time
I'm feelin'

There's always one more day
Always one more call
Always one more try
To explain it all
If that's what you think
You'd better be keeping score
'Cause sooner or later
You'll be down to your last one more

There's always one more promise
Always one more word

When my eyes first laid eyes on you
That's when my heart came unglued
And much to my surprise
We greeted the sunrise
And oh how good it felt
To lay there and melt

And I haven't been the same
And my life has forever changed
I knew right then
That never again<

How does she know what makes me laugh
Yes and how does she know where to scratch my back
How did she figure me out so easily
I swear that girl's been spyin' on me

Where did she get those big blue eyes
How does she know to wear what I like
How could anybody fit me right

Love left you nothing but lonely
Heartache is all you've had
This time around when it lets you down
You never had it so bad
I know its hard to keep going
When everything keeps going wrong
But don't you give up on fallin in love
Not while I'm here to lean on

Give

Whistles...
Midnight screaming, cross a squeaking trestle
Lonesome whistle.
Hobo...
Tin cup, drink up, bedroll, good ol' hobo
Where did they all go.
Gone, but not forgotten.
Cowboys...
Riding, roping, real cowpoking cowboys
Where are you now boys.
Heroes..

Fourth of July the rain was pourin' down on town that evenin'
'Bout the time the fireworks hit the sky
And you said Happy Independence day oh and by the way I'm leavin'
I didn't know you could be so cut and dry

So sad (so sad)
Goodbye (goodbye)
No rhyme no reason why

I got the feeling when I looked at you tonight
That you've given up trying
Have you left it up to me
To be the one to keep our love from dying
If I could I'd take you in my arms
And bring us back to being close
But how can I hold you
If you're letting go

I won't

I can't say I don't love her
Still I can't pretend
My heart is torn just knowing that
I'm losing my best friend
If it's easier said than done
Then someone tell me why
Though I try
I can't find the words to say goodbye

I can tell her that I'm sorry
And hope s

Tonight,
I'm as lonely as it gets
Wish i could say i've no regrets
But i didn't realize back then
Just exactly what i had
Now i do and it's so sad
I miss you bad.

Chorus:
I shoulda listened
To the beating of my heart when i held you colse
To the words i

I know you can make it in this world on your own
But I wanna take care of you
The woman within may think that it's wrong
But I wanna take care of you

I'll show you the love of a man that knows how
To hold you without holding you down
It's not a sign of weakness to let m

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
Cause I will be here

I will be here when you feel like being quiet
WHen you need to speak your mind I will listen

Comet raised a mesa to the western skies
With the sound of a thousand cattle drives
A chosen few would see the light
And fight the wrong with right

Up on the mesa
High above the clouds
There's a world apart from all the rest
On Moo Mesa
Live the real cowboys
