MY HOME'S IN ALABAMA

(Randy Owen - Teddy Gentry)
« © '79 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flat top on them good old gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
Where a boy can make a livin' playin' guitar late at nights

Had to learn about the ladies too young to understand
Why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
When the boys turn their music the girls just turn away
To some other guitar picker in some other late night place

Yeah held on to my music let the ladies walk away
Took my songs and dreams to Nashville then I moved on to LA
Up to New York City all across the USA
I've lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say

That my home's in Alabama no matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama southern born and southern bred
[ guitar ] What keeps me goin' I don't really know
Can't be the money Lord knows I'm always broke
Could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
When the people really love you and let you know when it's good

Oh I'll speak my Southern English as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie Dixie's in the heart of me
And someday when I make it when love finds a way
Somewhere high on Lookout Mountain I'll just smile with the pride and say

That my home's in Alabama...
Southern born and southern bred southern born and southern bred

HANGIN' UP MY TRAVELING SHOES

(Randy Owen - Teddy Gentry)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I've been going around in a whirlwind not knowing which way to go
I've been lost in a jungle of heartaches looking for what I don't know
I've spread my wings and I've done some things that I never meant to do
It's took me some time but I've made up my mind I'm hanging up my traveling shoes

Hangin' up my traveling shoes my running around is all through
I'm foldin' my wings up for you I'm hangin' up my traveling shoes
[ guitar ] I've been riding a sea of uncertainty running away fom it all
I've listened to nothing that life had to tell me watched all my dreams rise and fall
I've made my mistakes but it's not too late to pull myself out of the blues
It's took me some time but I've made up my mind I'm hangin' up my traveling shoes

Hangin' up my traveling shoes...
Hangin' up my traveling shoes

SOME OTHER PLACE SOME OTHER TIME

(Jeff Cook)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I remember walking through flowers in a garden of a mem'ry I'm thinkin' of
I remember being in heaven some other place some other time some other love
I remember walking on silver sand with a mid summer moon shining above
And I remember the taste of her sweet lips
Some other place some other time some other love

I remember holding her close to me and I can picture the nights we shared alone
When I'm dreaming it all seems so real to me then I wake up and find it's all gone
Tomorrow I may be holding another girl but tonight she's not the one I'm thinkin' of
Could it be my life would just be a mem'ry
Of some other place some other time some other love
Of some other place some other time some other love
Of some other place some other time some other love

Why lady why can't I leave you alone I try lady try but the feeling's too strong
You stay on my mind I feel just like a fool why lady why can't I get over you

Why lady why it was easy before I try lady try but it ain't easy no more

GETTING OVER YOU

(Cary Lynn Rutledge)
« © '80 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Wish I had just one more chance to hold you close and say I love you
Can't believe that our romance was just beginning now its through
I'm looking for tomorrow to start a new life on my own
And all I see is sorrow you're all I lived for now you're gone

I can't seem to get you off my mind no matter what I do
I'm trying to wipe you from my eyes but the tears keep falling through
The hardest thing that love has put me through
Is gettin' over you (over you) gettin' over you
[ guitar ] I can't seem to get you off my mind...

I WANNA COME OVER

(Richard Beraldi - Michael Beraldi)
« © '80 Blackwood Music, BMI »
Is that what time it is I'm sorry if I woke you with this call
But all this wine is in my head and I'm so lonely from it all
Don't hang up baby hear what I gotta say we started out such a beautiful story
We just can't end this way I wanna come over I wanna love you tonight

I don't care bout the time or who's wrong or who's right
Just say it's OK and I'll be on my way
I wanna come over could you get outta bed
I'll try to unsay all the things I've said
Please say its OK and I'll be on my way

Is that what time it is I'm sorry if I'm keepin' you from your sleep
But all these feelings are running through me
You know I never knew they ran so deep
What's that you're saying that just before I phoned
You were gettin' ready to give me call cause you were feeling so alone
I wanna come over I wanna love you tonight

I don't care bout the time...
I wanna come over I'm coming over
I wanna come over just let me come over oh baby baby I wanna come over

TENNESSEE RIVER

(Randy Owen)
« © '81 Tree Publishing, BMI »
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
[ guitar ] Me and my woman's done made our plans on the Tennessee river walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a family Lord settle down where peace and love can still be found
Oh Tennessee river...
Oh Tennessee river
[ fiddle ] Oh Tennessee river...

CAN'T FORGET ABOUT YOU

(Teddy Gentry)
« © '78 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The walls of my mind are closin' in can't get away your mem'ry won't end
Can't forget about you can't forget about you
Can't forget about you can't forget about you
Breakin' my mind in three quarter time makin' me blue

Can't forget about you can't forget about you
I never stop hearing the music after the song is through
[ guitar ] I still see your eyes your warm gentle smile
It was all worthwhile each moment we knew
Can't forget about you can't forget about you
Can't forget about you...
[ guitar ] Can't forget about you...
[ guitar ] Can't forget about you...

GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT

(Randy Owen - Jeff Cook - Richard Scott)
« © '78 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I got something cookin' and I'm boilin' way down deep
While I'm hot and bothered why don't you give me what I need
Your kind of lovin' really hits the spot
The things you're doin' baby make me want what you got
So get it get it get it while it's hot get it while it's hot

Well standin' here beside you I can really feel the heat.
I feel your body tremblin from your head down to your feet
I know my mind is in it but my body's almost shot
If you want my lovin' babe better get it while it's hot
So get it get it get it while it's hot get it while it's hot
Get it get it get it while it's hot get it get it get it while it's hot
Get it get it get it while it's hot

(Jeff Cook - Richard Scott)
« © '78 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I am so happy with you in my arms honey don't you ever leave
Lay back and love me and tell me you're mine keep on dreamin' with me

Your hair is so soft and your eyes are so brown your body's warm here next to me
You'll be my woman and I'll be your man and your love is all I'll ever need
It took so long for me to find you I've been lonely for so long lonely
You came into me life to love me now my loneliness is gone
