Long Hard Road
Long Hard Road
(Alan Jackson)Chorus: It's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Seems forever I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Lord I need to find my way back homeI hear the voice of my sweet mama calling
Telling me to change my ways
In my mind I smell the dogwoods blooming
Takes me back to yesterdayChorus: Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Seems forever I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Lord I need to find my way back homeI left behind the person that I once was
I changed for good and some for bad
I wasted days and nights on love forgotten
I've traded happiness for sadChorus: Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Seems forever I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Lord I need to find my way back home
I've felt the hurt of a broken heart inside me
I've felt the joy of love unchained
I've seen the rain wash away a mountain
Like tears have washed away my painChorus: Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Seems forever I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Lord I need to find my way back homeI've watched some loved ones dear to my heart dying
I've heard a newborn baby’s cry
I've walked a path of glory and of darkness
I've felt the guilt of a senseless lieChorus: Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Seems forever I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Lord I need to find my way back homeI've drank to forget and I've drank to remember
I've drank for love and I've drank for hate
I've danced alone with a full moon up above me
Lightin’ the way to heaven’s gateChorus: Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Seems forever I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Lord I need to find my way back home
I've felt the love of Jesus shining on me
I've felt the devils wicked way
I've prayed for forgiveness prayed for redemption
Prayed just to make it through the dayChorus: Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on
Seems forever I've been gone
Yeah it's a long hard road I’m traveling on

Mary
Mary
(Alan Jackson)Chorus: Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl
Out of all of this world
You chose me to lay down with at nightThe colors of spring are vivid and green
Since I looked so deep in your eyes
All of a sudden I'm filled with emotion
With feelings I used to denyChorus: Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl
Out of all of this world
You chose me to lay down with at nightYou've given me purpose and
Reason to worship someone much stronger than me
Gentle and tender and always remembers
The little things a man really needsChorus: Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl
Out of all of this world
You chose me to lay down with at nightAs time moves along I know we’ll belong to each other
Till they lay me down
And when even then I'll take your memory with me
To hold me when you’re not aroundChorus: Mary, sweet wife
How did you end up in my life
Beautiful girl

Appalachian Mountain Girl
Appalachian Mountain Girl
(Alan Jackson)Beneath the flowing evergreens
That capped the ridge on high
There lives a green-eyed mountain girl
That stole my heart one nightShe loved me like I'd never known
Then cast me down below
To never feel her touch again
Or taste that mountain snowChorus: That Appalachian Mountain girl
That haunts me from above
My heart will never beat the same
Without her mountain loveI often wake up late at night
Dreaming about her
Then walk the floor till morning comes
In hopes she will returnChorus: That Appalachian Mountain girl
That haunts me from above
My heart will never beat the same
Without her mountain loveSometimes the wind will blow just right
And I think I can smell
The flowers that had lined the road
That led me to this hellChorus: That Appalachian Mountain girl
That haunts me from above
My heart will never beat the same
Without her mountain loveChorus: That Appalachian Mountain girl
That haunts me from above
My heart will never beat the same
Without her mountain loveChorus: That Appalachian Mountain girl
That haunts me from above
My heart will never beat the same

Tie Me Down
Tie Me Down
(Alan Jackson)I've dodged the flame of love
My hearts been slippery and cold
I always thought I’d walk this path
At least until I was almost oldBut those sweet lips and eyes of green
Cut me like a blade of steel
Pulled my heart like a 18 wheel
Runnin' up a Tennessee hillChorus: I was a rolling stone
My feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could tie me downFree life I left behind
Strapped it to an angel’s wings
Bounded to a new born love
Tied up in her apron stringsI used to live alone
I never needed anyone
She turned my head around
I didn't even try to runChorus: Yeah I was a rolling stone
My feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could tie me downLooking back I realize
That happy's not what I was
When you run across a woman that's your true love
It's stronger than a moonshine buzzChorus: Yeah I was a rolling stone
My feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could tie me downChorus: Yeah I was a rolling stone
My feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could slow me down
Yeah she was the only one that ever could tie me down© 2013 EMI April Music Inc. obo itself and Tri-Angels Music (ASCAP)

Way Beyond The Blue
Way Beyond The Blue
(Mark D. Sanders, Randy Albright, Liz Singer)I don’t know, but I’ve been told
The streets of heaven are paved with gold
Well I supposed it’s true
If heavens anything like your love
I believe I’ve been up above a time or two
Way beyond the blueChorus: Way beyond the blue
Way beyond the blue
I’ll be lovin’ you
Way beyond the blueSometime’s love’s like a falling star
It goes so fast but only goes so far
Before it breaks your heart in two
But our love’s more like an airborne jet
The higher we go the farther we’re gonna get
Way beyond the blueChorus: Way beyond the blue
Way beyond the blue
I’ll be lovin’ you
Way beyond the blueChorus: Way beyond the blue
Way beyond the blue
I’ll be lovin’ you

Blue Ridge Mountain Song
Blue Ridge Mountain Song
(Alan Jackson)He met her in the fall of '93
In the hills of Tennessee
She was barely 17, he was tall and strong and lean
They were deep in love by June
Hand in hand beneath that moon
And she’dChorus: Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he’d just hum along
They'd dance all night till dawn
On a hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singin' that Blue Ridge songShe married in her mama’s wedding gown
Bought a house and settled down
He worked driving all around
Hauling logs from town to town
And he'd come home every night
She'd be waiting in the front porch light
And she'd
Chorus: Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he’d just hum along
They'd dance all night till dawn
On the front porch all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singin' that Blue Ridge songThey couldn't tell him what was wrong
Or they just didn't know
It wasn't very long
Till Jesus called her home
Then he got down on his knees
Said God don't take my love from me
Just let herChorus: Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Like she has all along
I'll dance with her till dawn
On a hillside all alone
We'll spend eternity
Like a mountain melody
In love as we can be
Singin' that Blue Ridge songNow he lives there all alone
In the house that they called home
In his heart there lies a void
From the absence of her voice
And he lays down every night
And dreams about that front porch light
Where she'dChorus: Sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he’d just hum along
They'd dance all night till dawn
On a hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be

Blacktop
Blacktop
(Alan Jackson)This ain’t no song ‘bout the good ol’ days
Simpler times or easy ways
Or how I long for an old dirt road
Greener grass or a lighter loadChorus: I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in ‘65
Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop
No more dust in my eyesRain would fall
An the mud would rise
Through my toes in the summertime
August heat would dry that clay
Dust would fly like a dandelionChorus: I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in ‘65
Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop
No more dust in my eyesStumped my toes on rocks and stones
Slipped and fell in them ol’ pot holes
Watched my mama shake that line
Dust them clothes off hangin’ in the hot sunshineChorus: I was glad to see the blacktop
When they laid it down in ‘65
Yeah I was glad to see the blacktop

There Is A Time
There Is A Time
(Rodney Dillard, Mitch Jayne)
There is a time for love and laughter
The days will pass like summer storms
The winter wind will follow after
But there is love and love is warm
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new the world is free
There is a time when leaves are fallin'
The woods are gray the paths are old
The snow will come when geese are callin'
You need a fire against the cold
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new the world is free
So do your roaming in the springtime
And you'll find your love in the summer sun
The frost will come and bring the harvest
You can sleep when day is done
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new the world is free
The path is new the world is free
There is a time for us to wander
When time is young and so are we
The woods are greener over yonder
The path is new the world is free

Wild and Blue
Wild And Blue
(John Scott Sherrill)Way across town a phone rings off the wall
You know he ain't home why do you keep callin'
You're gonna drive yourself crazy and you know that it's true
It's making you wild and blue
Chorus: Wild and blue it's no wonder you look at the things that you do
They could just take you up yonder you're already wild and blueIn somebody's room on the far side of town
Your minds all made up and the shades all pulled down
Someone is trying to satisfy you
He don't know you're wild and you're blue
Chorus: Wild and blue it's no wonder just look at the things that you do
They could just take you up yonder honey you're already wild and blueIt's four in the morning and you're all alone
With no place to go why don’t you come home
I'll be right here baby waitin' for you
I know you've been wild and blueChorus: Wild and blue it's no wonder just look at the things that you do
They could just take you up yonder honey you're already wild and blueThey could just take you up yonder honey you're already wild and blue

Knew All Along
Knew All Along
(Adam Wright, Shannon Wright)The things you taught me in just a little while
Would’ve taken me a hundred years
I can’t imagine travelin’ these miles
Without somebody like you hereChorus: I guess I knew all along he’d take his angels home
Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along he’d take his angels home
But I didn’t know it was gonna be todayI remember the places that we’ve been
The little things we used to do
Looking back now that’s when I began
To realize that I’m a lot like youChorus: I guess I knew all along he’d take his angels home
Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along he’d take his angels home
But I didn’t know it was gonna be todayFriends and family helped to pass the time I’m
Thumbin’ through pictures of you
Feelin’ lonesome, missin’ you and cryin’
But that’s not what you’d want me to doChorus: I guess I knew all along he’d take his angels home
Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along he’d take his angels home
But I didn’t know it was gonna be today

Shine on the one that’s gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining

They whispered from on high your love has said goodbye

Shine on the one that’s gone and proved untrue
