SONGS

When life gets tough...you can't surrender;

If the going gets rough...you must remember;

To look above...for inspiration;

And don't give in...to life's temptations;

Just put a little love...in all you do;

And the Lord will see you through.

When skies turn gray...and dark shadows fall;

Life's many pressures...have your back to the wall.

Raise up your head...look towards the sky;

Worship the man...who reigns on high.

Put a little love...in all you do;

And the Lord will see you through.

You've got to walk through the wilderness;

To reach the promise land.

You've got to dance with the devil;

When he takes you by the hand.

You've got to look him in the eye;

Show him your the better man;

Yes, you've got to walk through the wilderness;

To reach the promise land.

Roy Bain

 A west Texas plowboy...grew up to be a cowboy;

Did his ridin'...with me 'n the boys.

He became an outlaw...who dressed in black;

From the heels of his boots...to his black western hat.

The outlaw could sing...'n pick a guitar;

Though seldom sober...became a big country star...

And he sang...

"I've always been crazy for the trouble it's put me through...

Been busted for things that I did and didn't do;

I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done;

But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone."

A young western swinger...grew up to be a singer;

He sang his country...with a bit of a twang.

Lived the high life...hell raisin' with me and our band.

Unshavin', long hair 'n bandanna...he traveled the land.

Roughneck bars...that were risky;

Wild women...and too much whiskey...

And he sang...

"On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again;

The life I love  is making music with my friends.

I just can't wait to get on the road again."

If you can name it...we have done it;

'Twas rowdy and reckless...'n boy we had fun.

Been pedal to the medal...wire to wire;

Reachin' for the top...gettin' higher 'n higher.

Livin' a dream...where the good time never ends;

Partying' all night...singing with our friends.

And we'll sing...

"Our heroes have always been cowboys...

And on this cowboy you can always depend;

We've been through it all together...

And you are still my very best friend."

Roy Bain

Well, all my friends are here...they're stomping on the floor;

And there is the ole landlady...she's pounding at the door.

We're having a party...gonna last all night;

We're having a party...til' the broad day light.

The music is cranked up loud...the lights are laying low;

Just heard a dude a hollerin'...hop man, jump man, go.

We're having a party...gonna last all night;

We're having a party...til' the broad day light.

The beer and wine are flowing...the smoke is in the air;

Tomorrow I be evicted...but, right now I don't care.

We're having a party...gonna last all night;

We're having a party...til' the broad day light.

The police are in the hallway...the're leaning on the bell;

If you don't knock the noise off...we'll put your ass in jail.

We're having a party...gonna last all night;

We're having a party...til' the broad day light.

Roy Bain

Yesterday we met...today were in love;

Quick as a falling star...from heaven up above;

Oh yes, I know I love you...I know my love is true;

And it will last forever, darling...this I promise you.

Yesterday we met...today you hold my heart;

There was no escaping...you had me from the start;

Oh yes, I know I love you...I know my love is true;

And it will last forever, darling...this I promise you.

It wasn't very long ago...when you first caught my eye;

It wasn't very long ago...when my heart began to fly;

I love you, I need you...and my darling that is why.

Yesterday we met...today you'll be my bride;

As I walk down the isle...you'll be there by my side.

Oh yes, I know I love you...I know my love is true;

And it will last forever, darling...this I promise you.

Cartoons and comic books...

Good guys a catchin crooks;

'Twas as American as apple pie.

Roy Rogers and his golden horse...

Were talking 'bout Trigger of course.

And the super heroes could fly.

The good ole days gone bye;

Can't beat them if you try.

Laughin' as the hours would go...

Listenin' to the radio;

The good ole days gone bye.

Mickey Mouse and Donald's ducks...

Scrooge McDuck had all the bucks;

Bambi brought tears to my eyes.

Back before we had tv...

We were livin' happily;

Ain't it funny how the time would fly.

The good ole days gone bye;

Can't beat them if you.

Laughin' as the hours would go...

Listenin' to the radio;

The good ole days gone bye.

Back before we had tv...

We were livin' happily;

The good ole days gone bye.

Roy Bain

You say believe me...you love and then leave me;

You promise forever...and then you are gone;

You say I'm your true love...one night and you're through love;

You whisper sweet nothings...but you're putting me on;

Well I've been two step-in' two-timers too long.

You promise forever...and then you are gone;

I've heard the same old hustlers song;

Been two step-in' two-timers too dam long.

Well I've been two step-in' two-timers too long.

Line dancin' romancin'...from Nashville to Branson,

The same story...goes on and on;

You say it's me only...one kiss and I'm lonely;

Your holding another...on the very next song.

I've been two step-in' two-timers too long.

They promise forever...and then they are gone;

I've heard the same old hustlers song,

Been two step-in' tow-timers too dam long.

I've been two step-in' two-timers too long.

I've been two step-in' two-timers too long.

They promise forever...and then they are gone;

I've heard the same old hustlers song,

Been two step-in' tow-timers too dam long.

I've been two step-in' two-timers too long.

So now, I'll be moving on.

Roy Bain

Rain drops on my window...

And the tear drops in my heart;

I keep searching for a rainbow...

Wondering why the tear drops start.

Cuz, I love you, love you...

Darling, my darling, my love.

Sitting by the phone...

Thinking of our love affair;

Now I'm all alone...

Wondering do yo really care.

Cuz, I love you, love you...

Darling, my darling, my love.

I know you love me...

And you know I love you;

So why must you always... 

Hurt me the way you do.

Lately when I'm sleeping...

I can see you standing there;

Always when I'm dreaming...

You are in my every prayer;

Cuz, I love you, love you...

Darling, my darling, my love.

On my horse Shadow...with my old dog Clyde;

Setting high in the saddle...I'm a ready to ride.

I'm headed for the country...where the livin' is free.

And all I'm takin'...is my woman with me.

I'm a little bit hurried...cuz I'm a little bit late;

Was gonna fetch her...by the ole barn gate;

Then a voice called out...what's you waitin' foe?

'Twas the voice of her Daddy...he's a mean so 'n so.

You'd better be ta gettin'...er I'll have yer hide.

I won't be a quitin'...until you've died.
Life ain't wort' nuttin'...if she don't go;

So we'll be a cuttin...and her Daddy don't know.

Yonder she come a runnin'...bag in her hand;

I'm a leavin' here, Daddy...cuz he's my man.

Up on Shadow...and off in the night.

Clyde was a yelpin'...as we rode out of sight.

Her kin don't like me...and they told me so;

Asked fer her hand...and they told me no;

She'll be a havin' my baby...and then what's moe;

We'll be a gettin' married...and her Daddy don't know.

Roy Bain

Oh yes...I'll love you forever;

If you'll be...my only one.

Your laughter...makes my life happy;

In my day...you are the fun;

Oh yes...I'll love you forever;

If you'll be...my only one.

Let me tell you how I love you;

Let me tell you how I care;

Let me tell you what I think of you;

Even when you're not there.

Your kiss...excites such a feeling;

In my heart...second to none;

Oh yes...I'll love you forever;

If you'll be...my only one.

Let me tell you how I love you;

Let me tell you  how I care;

Let me tell you what I think of you;

Even when you're not there.

Your love...has my heart beating;

Like the rhythmic...sound of a drum;

Oh yes...I'll love you forever;

If you'll be...my only one.

Your face...has the look of an angel.

With a smile...warm as the sun.
