DELTA DREAMLAND
(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen)
« © '92 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
Two young lovers on a Blytheville backroad
Laying on the levee makin' love all night long
Wishin' on a star in a southern sky
Dreaming out loud about the rest of their lives
They were lost lost in love in a Delta dreamland
Yes they were lost lost in love in a Delta dreamland
She worked all day at the old shirt factory thinking bout the boy that made her happy
Across the street at the hardware store he was busy reliving the night before
They were lost lost in love...
She was seventeen and he was twenty
When they left their home for the land of plenty
Times were tough but they made it through
They lived to see their dreams come true yeah yeah
[ guitar ]
The years rolled by like river water they said goodbye to three grown daughters
Together all alone again just like they started way back when
They were lost lost in love...
Yeah yeah hey hey lost lost in love in a Delta dreamland
Two young lovers on a Blytheville backroad
Laying on the levee makin' love all night long

ALL THE LOVING AND THE HURTING TOO
(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen)
« © '93 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
Do you ever get past the pain you go through
When you give all you can and you can't understand
Why a dream won't come true
It's one sided romance you can't undo
When you do all the loving and the hurting too
You can't take it back once you give your heart
Tryin' not to recall how you did all is the hardest part
And you can't change the reason you feel like a fool
Cause you did all the loving and the hurting too
That's the price you pay for doing more than your share
When you love enough for both of you no one else has to care
And though it's all over you look back on the truth
You did all the lovin' and the hurting too
[ guitar ]
And though it's all over it's over for you
You're still doing all the loving and the hurting too
You did all the loving and the hurting too

TWO SHADES OF BLUE
(Bobby Braddock - Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen)
« © '93 Tree Publishing, BMI »
We pained a beautiful scene with brown eyes and emerald green
The black of the night and the silver moonlight on you and me
But the tears we've been crying each day
Had bled all the colors away now all I can see
Is two shades of blue (now it's over and it's) poor me and you
(All alone and wondering) what will we do
(Now our love is turning) two shades of blue
In our kaleidoscope dream we could have had everything
If only our lives would have started the night when we first met
But reality pulled us apart now we're dancing alone in the dark what a sad silhouette
Two shades of blue...
[ steel ]
What in the world will we do two shades of blue

(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen)

Mama don't you cry anymore I'm not the same girl I was before
You know I'll always be your baby
But I've found some brand new arms and they wanna rock me
Mama can't you see my world's turning
I've got I've got to live these things I'm learning
You don't have to try and save me I'm wrapped up in a dream and he's gonna rock me
All night long we lay where heaven lies he takes me all the way to paradise
When he rocks me in the cradle of love
Mama don't you remember how it feels
Don't you remember my heart and my soul is rolling like a wheel ooh
I know you think I'm crazy yeah I'm crazy for the one who wants to rock me
Oh I know you think I'm crazy yeah I'm crazy for the one who gonna rock me

Rock me baby I feel love rock me baby I feel love
