Life ain't all that easy I can testify to that
It's been up and down and round and round to get to where I'm at
If you could see how I'm living in this old car I drive
Well you'd probably wonder and even ponder why I even wanna stay alive

So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray
Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance
Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

Well I could complain about taxes or the weather we're having today
Go on and on about things that are wrong from New York to L.A.
Well that's just not my nature to sit around feeling sad
We're only here for awhile so why not smile hey living ain't all that bad

So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray
Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance
Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

When I look around there's lots of folks worse off than me
So I just thank the good Lord and ask him please

So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray
Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance
Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day

Give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got
Give me one more day
Show me the way and give me one more day
Give me one more shot

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
And we can't love like this anymore

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

We're coming to a crossroad I can tell
And 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
That we can't love like this anymore

We can't love like this anymore...

I was born across the river
In the mountains where I call home.
Lord, times were good there.
Don't know why I ever roamed

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band.

Me and my woman's done made our plans
On the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a famly, Lord, settle down
Where peace and love can still be found.

Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can.
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We play together in Mother Nature's band.

(Troy Seals/Mentor Williams)

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

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

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


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

These moments.....these feelings.......Mmmmmmm

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

Now let's make love......Sweet love

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot but not for a Louisiana man
So rosin up that bow for faded Love and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

I remember down in Houston we were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled, Cotton-Eyed Joe!
He said, We love what you're doin', boys don't get us wrong
There's just somethin' missin' in your song.

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot but not for a Louisiana man
So rosin up that bow for faded Love and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case
Say y'all all wanna two-step, say ya wanna doe-si-doe
Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot but not for a Louisiana man
So rosin up that bow for faded Love and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

As I lay by your side and hold you tonight,
I want you to understand,
This love that I feel is so right and so real,
And I realize how lucky I am.
And should you ever wonder if my love is true,
There's something that I wanna make clear to you.

There's no way I could make it without you,
There's no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day,
Oh baby, there's no way.

It means so much to me, whenever I see,
That "wanting me look" in your eyes,
I don't know how I could do without,
Holding you close every night.
I've waited so long just to have you to hold,
And now that I've got you, I'll never let go.

There's no way I could make it without you,
There's no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day,
Oh baby, there's no way.

I never knew until you, what I was missing,
Now you say forever, and I find my heart is listening.
Yes I'm listening.

There's no way I could make it without you,
There's no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day,
Oh baby, there's no way.

Baby, there's just no way.

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

In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries
One by one, they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind.

I don't need no quarters, don't need any dime
You filled it up forever
When you said good-bye
Heaven knows I love old melodies
They were meant to ease the pain
But the kind that's playin' on my mind
Are drivin' me insane.

In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries
One by one, they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind.

Song by song, those melodies
Were meant to ease the pain
But the kind that's playin' on my mind
Are drivin' me insane;

In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries
One by one, they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind.

I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched.
The look in your eyes
Said you felt as much
But I'm not a man
Who falls so easily
It's best that you know
Where you stand with me

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

When there's age around my eyes
And gray in your hair
And it only takes a touch to recall
The love we've shared
I won't take for granted
That you know my love is true
Each night in your arms
I will whisper to you.

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and 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 do zero to sixty in five point two

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

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

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

Oh, I hear a voice
That says I'm running behind
Better pick up my pace
It's a race and there ain't no room for someone in second place

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why

I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day
Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way
It was getting late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with thier mercy
In our time of need

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
