| ~* Emily Harper *~ |
| Emily
sat right next to me Five days a week on the same bus seat For a girl, she was pretty cool She wore an old ball cap, hated lace Played a mean short stop and second base Never missed a day of Sunday School And I never told a soul back then But Emily Harper was my best friend We carved our names on an old oak limb On the bank of the tree where we used to swim A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter We ran barefoot through the garden gate All afternoon we'd laugh and play 'Til the sun went down on me and Emily Harper About the time I turned sixteen I noticed Emily's eyes were green And how they shined when I made her laugh I liked it when her hair was down I hated other guys around I played it cool but I had it bad Lord, her daddy had a fit, When he caught me stealing my first kiss We carved a heart on that old oak limb On the bank of the creek where we used to swim A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter We used to sneak off in my daddy's car Sit on the hood and count the stars 'Til the sun came up on me and Emily Harper It all seems just like yesterday We grew up but something's never change We still hold hands by that old oak limb On the bank of the creek where we used to swim A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter She sure did make a lovely bride We vowed to grow old side by side 'Til the sun goes down on me And Emily Harper Emily Harper Me and Emily Harper |

| ~* Friends in Low Places *~ |
| Blame
it all on my roots I showed up in boots And ruined your black tie affair The last one to know The last one to show I was the last one You thought you'd see there And I saw the surprise And the fear in his eyes When I took his glass of champagne And I toasted you Said honey we may be through But you'll never hear me complain 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis Oh I've got friends in low places Well I guess I was wrong I just don't belong But then I've been there before Everything's all right I'll just say goodnight And I'll show myself to the door Hey I didn't mean To cause a big scene Just give me an hour and then Well I'll be as high As that ivory tower That you're livin' in 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis Oh I've got friends in low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis Oh I've got friends in low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis Oh I've got friends in low places I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away And I'll be okay... |

| ~* From This Moment On *~ |
| (I
do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, I will love you with every beat of my heart.) From this moment life has begun From this moment you are the one Right beside you is where I belong From this moment on From this moment I have been blessed I live only for your happiness And for your love I'd give my last breath From this moment on I give my hand to you with all my heart Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start You and I will never be apart My dreams came true because of you From this moment as long as I Iive I will love you, I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment on You're the reason I believe in love And you're the answer to my prayers from up above All we need is just the two of us My dreams came true because of you From this moment as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment I will love you as long as I live From this moment on |

| ~* From a Distance *~ |
| Just
another bar With loud guitars Smoke and candles burning low And the same ol' boys Their backs to the bar Staring across a crowded floor Then I hear a familiar sound Your voice laughing out loud From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance So I take a chair In a corner somewhere You can't see me But I can look at you And I remember those times When I looked in your eyes The way that he now looks at you Deep down I know it's over But it hurts me when he's so much closer From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance And if I can't hold you near me I'll just hold onto your memory From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance I'll always love you from a distance |

~* God Blessed Texas *~ |

| ~* Going, Going, Gone *~ |
| At
first I thought it was the moonlight shining through the mist Cause after all a kiss is just a kiss or so I thought But I must have been wrong It could have been the music cause it sounded so sweet Something sure was sweeping me off of my feet All night long, it sure was strong Before I knew what was going on, I was going, going, gone I suppose it could have been the perfume from a honeysuckle vine Something sure was driving me out of my mind But I should have know all along It was your love and it was so strong And now I'm going, going, gone It might have been the magic written in the stars Some gypsy might have read it somewhere in the cards It really doesn't matter cause whatever it was It led me straight to your arms First I thought it was the moonlight shining through the mist After all a kiss is just a kiss, or so I thought (so I thought) But I must have been wrong Before I knew what was going on I was going, going, gone Going, going, gone Going, going, gone |

| ~* Goodbye Says It All *~ |

another back-door sneakin' in Where you been? midnight Quiet as a mack truck-lotsa luck Thinkin' up an alibi But every light in the house is on Everything is gone She's left me no chance at redemption No further exemption Just a big red Goodbye in lipstick on the wall Goodbye says it all No long explanation No reconciliation No let's talk-it-over number I can call Goodbye says it all Goodbye... She could have thrown a know-down scream-and-shout Have-it-out tirade She could have made it real tough bringing up All the hell that I raised But no more wasted words on me No she kept it short and sweet She's left me no chance at redemption No further exemption Just a big red Goodbye in lipstick on the wall Goodbye says it all No long explanation No reconciliation No let's talk-it-over number I can call Goodbye says it all Goodbye... No more wasted words on me No she kept it short and sweet She's left me no chance at redemption No further exemption Just a big red Goodbye in lipstick on the wall Goodbye says it all No long explanation No reconciliation No let's talk-it-over number I can call Goodbye says it all Goodbye...

day you said goodbye Without a tear in your eye I just can not believe You could take from my life Half of everything and all of my heart Loneliness and your name They are one and the same And though I've tried and I've tried I know that you will not remain Half of everything and all of my heart I know that I'm just another Heartbroken lover With a great big chip upon this lonely shoulder But if I ever find out that There's a life out there for me, for me I know that time will take Care of a lot of things That we're scared of And I know it won't be long until I get my share of Half of everything and all of my heart I know that I'm just another Heartbroken lover With a great big chip upon this lonely shoulder But if I ever find out that There's a life out there for me, for me I know that time will take Care of a lot of things That we're scared of And I know it won't be long until I get my share of Half of everything and all of my heart Half of everything and all of my heart |

| ~* Holes in the Floor of Heaven *~ |
| One day shy
of eight years old When grandma passed away I was a brokenhearted little boy Blowing out that birthday cake How I cried when that sky let go With a cold and lonesome rain Mamma smiled, said don't be said child Grandma's watching you today 'Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven And her tears are pouring down That's how you know she's watching Wishing she could be here now And sometimes if you're lonely Just remember she can see There's holes in the floor of heaven Watching over you and me Seasons come and seasons go Nothing stays the same I grew up, fell in love Met a girl who took my name Year by year we made a life in this sleepy little town I thought we'd grow old together Lord, I sure do miss her now But there's holes in the floor of heaven And her tears are pouring down That's how I know she's watching Wishing she could be here now And sometimes when I'm lonely I remember she can see There's holes in the floor of heaven Watching over you and me Well my little girl is 23 I walk her down the aisle It's a shame her mom can't be here now To see her lovely smile They throw the rice, I catch her eye As the rain starts coming down She takes my hand and says daddy don't be said 'Cause I know mamma's watching now And there's holes in the floor of heaven And her tears are pouring down That's how you know she's watching Wishing she could be here now And sometime when you're lonely Just remember she can see There's holes in the floor of heaven and she's Watching over you and me |
