TAKE A LITTLE TRIP

(Randall Rogers - Mark Wright)
« © '92 Blackwood Music, BMI »
If we could leave this big old city
And head back for the cabin we loved back deep in the woods uh baby we would
If we could jump in some big old jet plane
Head for the islands where the weather is always good oh don't you know we would
Oh we can't do this and we can't do that but baby we can stay right where we're at
Take a little trip take a little trip take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little time leave it all behind take a little trip up to heaven tonight

We can go downtown to a nightclub
Dance to the rhythm of the music on that old hardwood uh baby we could
Oh we can call up Rita and Bobby
See what they're doing tonight and maybe play some rook yeah baby we could
Yeah now we can do this or we can do that or baby we can stay right where we're at
Take a little trip take a little trip take a little trip up to heaven tonight
Take a little time leave it all behind take a little trip you and me out of sight
Pull down the shades turn out the lights take a little trip up to heaven tonight

Take a little trip...

HOMETOWN HONEYMOON

(Josh Leo - Jim Photoglo)
« © '92 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Hey baby won't you take my hand and make me a happy man
I ain't rich but I found my fortune in you
Two jobs on the nighttime shift I'm still left with an empty fist
But my heart is full and my love is true
We can still get married in the style of our friends and family
Gather all of them to celebrate while we slip out quietly

And have a hometown honeymoon wildflowers and love is in bloom
We'll have a hometown honeymoon just me and you
Hometown honeymoon get out of church and up to your room
We'll have a hoedown afternoon dancing to the rhythm of love

We can sing and laugh out loud lifestyles of the poor but proud
Cuddle up on the porch and enjoy the view
We can't afford Niagara Falls but there's a fountain by the old town hall
We'll make a wish by the light of a lover's moon
I'll get my grandma's wedding ring and my brother's Chevrolet
We can stay at your mama's house we don't have to go away

To have a hometown honeymoon...
[ fiddle ] Your daddy's prize possession I'll make a good impression
I'm gonna get his blessing that's all we need
Hometown honeymoon...
Hometown honeymoon hometown honeymoon hometown honeymoon

ONCE UPON A LIFETIME

(Frank J.Myers - Gary Baker)
« © '92 Dixie Stars Music, ASCAP »
Once upon a lifetime I looked in someone's eyes
And left the fire burning in my heart for the very first time
She was scared and young and had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand and a boy came a man once upon a lifetime
Once upon a lifetime you hold the Queen of Hearts
If you gamble on a diamond when the dealin' starts
You stand to lose it all as the cards begin to fall
And the lesson learned is hard you're only dealt the Queen of Hearts
Once upon a lifetime

So if you're takin' chances know the chance you take
A broken heart's a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice

Once upon a lifetime you know that you've been blessed
When you hold your first born tenderly against your chest
And through the innocence you see the value of a family
And you feel a special bond that only comes along once upon a lifetime

So if you're takin' chances...
And people only find love like yours and mine once upon a lifetime

I'M IN A HURRY

(Roger Murrah - Randy VanWarmer)
« © '92 Murrah Music, BMI »
I'm in a hurry to get things done know why 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

Oh I'm in a hurry...

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

Oh I'm in a hurry...

Oh I hear a voice that says I'm runnin' behind I better pick up my pace
It's a race and there ain't no room for someone in second place
[ guitar ] I'm in a hurry...
I'm in a hurry...
I'm in a hurry...

RICHARD PETTY FANS

(Randy Owen - Teddy Gentry - Greg Fowler)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Before he ever made the headlines or won the Winston cup
He survived his share of crashes but he never did give up
The tracks in Carolina where all the Petty's ran
What kept the motor's running way back then were you the fans

He won seven at Daytona it was STP and forty-three
King Richard is a legend and he's a hero to me
When he wins he waves his hand to the folks up in the stands
And he is dedicated to all the nascar fans

Well I wish this year could last forever but the race must go on
He'll hang up his helmet but he never will be gone
I know he'll drive forever in the heart of every fan
And he will be remembered as the best that's ever been

BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM

(Mickey Cates)
« © '91 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
They marrie back in thirty-two they were young and love was new
And every day that feeling grew between the two of them
When work grew scarce and times got bad the hope would chase away the sad
And hope was sometimes all they had between the two of them
[ piano + violin ] The forties came and the fifties went a mortage note replaced the rent
And they made the most of each day spent between the two of them
The children all turned out just fine so he retired in sixty-nine
Left with oh so little time between the two of them
[ piano + violin ] Today I braved the graveyard rain and placed a rose between their names
Now that's the most that ever came between the two of them
And oh I miss them both so much his crooked smile her gentle touch
And the pleasure of just growing up between the two of them

AMERICAN PRIDE

(Randy Owen)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI »
American pride something you feel inside something you can't describe American pride
Dad said son I'm proud you won but the game is more than any toy
Mama said now son say sir and say ma'am and be proud you're southern born
Play when you're hurt and you work when you're tired cause that was grandpa's way
And the biscuits are better at Granny's house and the gravy taste great all day

American pride yes it is something you feel inside
Something you can't describe something you cannot hide
American pride something you feel inside
Traditions run deep and wide with American pride
[ guitar ] When a baby is born we all celebrate with tears of joy in family eyes
Cause we all know the baby will grow up with American pride
Yeah we work and we play and we have our own ways and we don't all look alike
But if the cause is right we stand up and fight to protect our American pride

Sing it sing it sing it American pride...
With American pride it's American pride
[ guitar - piano ] **********

SOMETIMES OUT OF TOUCH

(Teddy Gentry - Greg Fowler - Randall Rogers)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There were times I stood my ground when I knew you were right
Turned around and walked away when I should've held you tight
But you never closed the door you just turned out the light
Gave me time to think it over a chance to make it right

Sometimes out of touch but never out of love
Sometimes giving in never giving up
We've been worlds apart yet always close enough
Yeah we've been out of touch but never out of love
[ piano ] No matter how we try there still may come a time when our minds are far apar
I know you and me will always find a way to be together in our hearts

Sometimes out of touch...
Yeah we've been out of touch but never out of love

PICTURES AND MEMORIES

(Jeff Cook - Johnny Wislon)
« © '92 Tree Publishing, BMI »
There's a teardrop falling slowly from my eyes tonight
As I think of your two arms that used to hold me so very tight
But you're gone now and girl I'm alone and blue
With just these pictures and memories of you
Pictures and memories of a love warm and true
Pictures of love we shared and mem'ries of you
But your pictures can't feel my cares of this hurt deep inside
Pictures and memories I feel like crying tonight
[ piano ] I may be crazy but you know sometimes I can almost feel your touch
Those who say I should be over you well I guess they just never loved as much
I'd put your pictures where I can't see them but I'd still see them in my mind
Just like your mem'ries they're right here with me all the time
Pictures and memories of a love warm and true
Pictures of love we shared and mem'ries of you
But your pictures can't feel my cares of this hurt deep inside
Pictures and memories that's why I'm crying tonight
Pictures and memories I feel like dying tonight
