Lyrics from the CD "Rhythm of Life" |

Rhythm of Life1
Ain’t gonna wait ‘til I lose some weight Not gonna worry if I’m out of shape Tired of lookin’ the mirror, don’t like what I see Tired of basin’ my looks from the covers of magazines
Gonna have a good time, Gonna be a good day Things are gonna go right, things are moving my way Gonna take some time off, Gonna treat myself right Gonna get in time with the rhythm of life
Ain’t gonna wait for my bills to be paid Not gonna worry if they’re a little bit late Tired of racin’ around robbin’ Peter for Paul Tired of basing my moods on whether my pockets are full
Gonna have a good time, Gonna be a good day Things are gonna go right, things are moving my way Gonna take some time off, Gonna treat myself right Gonna get in time with the rhythm of life
Been going in circles, meetin’ ourselves comin’ both ways No sense of direction but honey that’s ‘bout to change…
Gonna have a good time, Gonna be a good day Things are gonna go right, things are moving my way Gonna take some time off, Gonna treat myself right Gonna get in time with the rhythm of life
Gonna get in time with the rhythm of life |
Chase Away The Blues
Sometimes a woman feels so alone like someone’s took her heart out and laid it on a stone and she’s not sure what to do to chase away the blues
That’s how I was baby just the other night When you came in I knew things would be alright ‘Cause you know just what to do to chase away the blues
Well a casual conversation and the touch of tender hands can do more to lift the spirit than we’ll ever understand and the meeting of minds and the soothing of souls is what the doctor ordered, honey, how did you know I needed someone to talk to, to chase away the blues
You listened while I told you things on my heart While I let go of mem’ries, you healed all the scars I told you every secret I had locked inside You said, "I don’t care what you’ve done, it doesn’t change my mind I’m still in love with you, so chase away the blues"
Well a casual conversation and the touch of tender hands can do more to lift the spirit than we’ll ever understand and the meeting of minds and the soothing of souls is what the doctor ordered, honey, how did you know I needed someone to talk to, to chase away the blues
I needed someone to talk to, to chase away the blues I needed someone and it was you, to chase away the blues |

I’d Like To Hear From You
Sittin’ on the front porch strummin’ my guitar thinkin’ ‘bout relationships, wonderin’ where you are There was a time that we were close, but now we seem so far Your memory stays with me right in my heart
So I think I’ll wish upon a star I think I’ll ask the man on the moon I think I’ll send the angels out Cause I’d like to hear from you
You saw a strength inside of me I couldn’t see myself You saw me as a spirit free, while still locked in my shell You came along just like a song and helped me dream again When those dreams took me away you took it on the chin
So I think I’ll wish upon a star I think I’ll ask the man on the moon I think I’ll send the angels out Cause I’d like to hear from you
Wouldn’t change my life today but I didn’t get here alone Angels watching over me, sent people like you along
So I think I’ll wish upon a star I think I’ll ask the man on the moon I think I’ll send the angels out Cause I’d like to hear from you
I’d like to hear from you, it’s been awhile and I’d like to hear from you |
I Found Myself In You
Sharing the truth, no need to lie Honest with each other, no emotions to disguise I see the purest heart when I look into your eyes Our love burns like a shooting star that brightens up the night
Making love is an expression of the union of our lives Where heartbeats dance in rhythm, while our bodies dance in light Though we each have our freedom, we’ve chosen to be true Other lovers we don’t need ‘em, ‘cause I found myself in you
Softly you speak "Come to me now the cares of this world, it’s time to lay ‘em down" It’s just you and me, no one else is around Let’s touch the heights of heaven, with the love that we have found
Making love is an expression of the union of our lives Where heartbeats dance in rhythm, while our bodies dance in light Though we each have our freedom, we’ve chosen to be true Other lovers we don’t need ‘em, ‘cause I found myself in you
Turning the page on days gone by Through all the lessons we’ve learned how to keep love alive We talk with our hearts, we share with our eyes We move with our soul, we let our spirits rise…
Making love is an expression of the union of our lives Where heartbeats dance in rhythm, while our bodies dance in light Though we each have our freedom, we’ve chosen to be true Other lovers we don’t need ‘em, ‘cause I found myself in you |

Aint’ Standin’ In No Pasture (But I Sure Smell Bull)
Told you what my name was, you still called me babe Said we’d met before, that was your second mistake Told me not to call a cab, be glad to take me home Caught the scent when you walked in, it wasn’t your cologne
We ain’t standin’ in no pasture, but I sure smell bull Think you got it mastered, I’m ‘bout to change the rules I was raised in the country, but wasn’t raised no fool We ain’t standin’ in no pasture, but I sure smell bull
Thought you’d walk right over here and sweep me off my feet Smooth words and magic words, my heart would skip a beat You got the game down, but you ain’t ‘bout to score Maybe you didn’t catch my drift, but honey I caught yours
We ain’t standin’ in no pasture, but I sure smell bull Think you got it mastered, I’m ‘bout to change the rules I was raised in the country, but wasn’t raised no fool We ain’t standin’ in no pasture, but I sure smell bull
It may sound like the real thing, it may look like a rose The only way to know for sure, is follow your nose…
We ain’t standin’ in no pasture, but I sure smell bull Think you got it mastered, I’m ‘bout to change the rules I was raised in the country, but wasn’t raised no fool We ain’t standin’ in no pasture, but I sure smell bull |
Ears To Hear
Left the car at Trader’s Point and hiked into the wild Kept on ‘til the sunset then stopped to build a fire This was our first adventure out in the great unknown a primitive vacation, my wife and I alone
Watched the moonlight slowly pass ‘cross the starry sky Listened to the sounds of all the creatures of the night Just around midnight we heard footsteps drawing near Then beyond the fire’s glow an Indian man appeared, he said:
Have you heard the bluebird and knew the words it sang Has an eagle ever crossed the sky spelling out your name? Has light’ning flashed in the night and brought a message clear Do you believe that nature speaks to those with ears to hear?
Said he was a Cherokee, the watchman of his tribe A hawk had brought a message there were tenderfoots nearby If we liked, he’d share some wisdom from the red-man’s ways He’d tell us how to understand the sounds that nature makes
Have you heard the bluebird and knew the words it sang Has an eagle ever crossed the sky spelling out your name? Has light’ning flashed in the night and brought a message clear Do you believe that nature speaks to those with ears to hear?
Raised his eyes toward heaven as the night owl called Then the whisper of the wind shared the things it saw It’s true we’re one big fam’ly all creatures great and small There’s a bond of unity that joins us one and all
I’ve heard the bluebird and knew the words it sang I’ve seen an eagle cross the sky spelling out my name Light’ning’s flashed in the night and brought a message clear I believe nature speaks to those with ears to hear
Yes I believe nature speaks… to those with ears to hear |

That’s Not What I’m Looking For
Jogging in the park a man told me that I looked tired Then he asked me over for a little R & R I looked at him and said, I’m very happ’ly wed and that’s not what I’m looking for
Well at the spa the other day a woman came my way and asked me how much time I had to spare I told her very kind, that wasn’t what I had in mind no, that’s not what I’m looking for
That’s not what I’m looking for I’ve got someone who’s the greatest in the world So I beg your pardon if you thought I wanted more But that’s not what I’m looking for
Happiness is living life with the one who knows you best I wouldn’t trade the one I love for any of the rest
Cause that’s not what I’m looking for I’ve got someone who’s the greatest in the world So I beg your pardon if you thought I wanted more But that’s not what I’m looking for
That’s not what I’m looking for I’ve got someone who’s the greatest in the world So I beg your pardon if you thought I wanted more But that’s not, no that’s not, what I’m looking for |
Play Songs With Feeling (Straight From The Heart)
My baby’s comin’ home tonight, to dinner and candlelight Sure would be nice, to make the mood right if you’d play a little music with lovers in mind
Please Mr. Radio Man, cooperate with my plan When you see the moon, spin me some tunes to make a heart remember the love it once knew
Play songs with feeling, where words have meaning and the singer’s singing straight from the heart Don’t play those sad songs, no love went wrong songs play only love songs straight from the heart
My baby and I need time, to stare in each other’s eyes With fam’ly to raise and bills to be paid the only time we kiss is when we’re sayin’ goodnight
Can I count on you to make this night for two one we won’t forget like the first time we met we’ll remember it forever and we’ll owe it to you
Play songs with feeling, where words have meaning and the singer’s singing straight from the heart Don’t play those sad songs, no love went wrong songs play only love songs straight from the heart
Don’t play those sad songs, no love went wrong songs play only love songs straight from the heart |

Truckin’ Daddy’s Prayer
Leavin home tomorrow, I’ve got a load to haul I’ll see the Carolinas before I’m back in Arkansas It’s hard to leave my fam’ly, but I’ll soon be miles away Could you do me a favor Lord and hear these words I pray?
Put the kids to bed at night and kiss ‘em on the cheek If they have a bad dream, please rock ‘em back to sleep Tell ‘em not to be afraid of the others kids in school Help ‘em with their homework, make sure they do their chores
Well I know You understand a father’s heart Since You’re the One who’s had one from the start Keep ‘em from harm, as they rest in Your arms of care that’s this truckin’ daddy’s prayer
Tell my boy how you were proud, when he stole third base Tell little sissy when she turned that flip how you were quite amazed And when their mama’s gettin’ tired, would you take the time To listen to the thoughts that are weighing on her mind
Well I know You understand a father’s heart Since You’re the One who’s had one from the start Keep ‘em from harm, as they rest in your arms of care that’s this truckin’ daddy’s prayer
Do all the things that I would do if I was there Please grant these humble wishes of this truckin’ daddy’s prayer Amen |
One Heart And One Mind
At first they said our love was going no where They joked it would be over in the first year
But years have come and gone and still our love is strong Now they want our secret to how we get along…
It’s not who’s cookin’ meals, it’s not who’s payin’ bills Not even sexy thrills, of a romantic night
It’s not what I do for you, or what you do for me that keeps our love strong Not a belly that’s flat, or a waist without fat, that keeps us turned on
If you haven’t a clue, we’ll tell you the truth It’s not hard to find To make love last, you’ve got to have One heart and one mind!
It’s not the clothes you wear, or how you fix your hair True love don’t even care ‘bout trivial things
It’s me knowing you and you knowing me, not in part but the whole Our dreams and our goals, the visions we hold, spirit and soul
For a woman and man, to make their love stand through the test of time It takes more than grit, you’ve gotta commit to One heart and one mind
Two hearts beating side by side, can conquer any mountain And two minds seeing eye to eye, now that’s a cause for shoutin’!
So now you can see, the great mystery that makes our love shine It’s nothing man made, just something God gave…
One heart and one mind! |

It’s Amazing What Rhythm Can Do
Our band is playin’ on the corner of the street The crowd is dancin’ to the beat It’s amazing what rhythm can do
A little country, a little blues A little gospel and a ballad or two It’s amazing what rhythm can do
When you’re down and feeling low let the music move your soul It’s amazing what rhythm can do
All alone or in a crowd, play it soft or play it loud Clappin’ hands or tappin’ toes, twistin’ and shoutin’ or doin’ the stroll It’s amazing what rhythm can do
In a church or in a bar, it doesn’t matter where you are It’s amazing what rhythm can do
Brings together those apart, joins ‘em right in the heart It’s amazing what rhythm can do
When you’re down and feeling low let the music move your soul It’s amazing what rhythm can do
All alone or in a crowd, play it soft or play it loud Clappin’ hands or tappin’ toes, twistin’ and shoutin’ or doin’ the stroll It’s amazing what rhythm can do
It’s amazing what rhythm can do |
My Heritage
As a person here upon the earth, a product of the past to those who’ve gone before me I owe a great respect Great, great grandpa was a pioneer, his mama had a dream Freedom for all people was the vision she had seen There were other names and faces whose stories go untold but my soul holds ev’ry moment of the days of long ago
It’s my heritage and I wear it very proud Even though I don’t often say it loud In the cells of my body the memories remain It’s my heritage flowing through my veins
As a spirit I have always been and always will I be though right now I don’t remember all the things that I have seen Sometimes I have visions of another time and place And I get a little homesick when I’m gazing into space I marvel at the wisdom of a Father’s master plan for it’s written in the heart of ev’ry woman, child and man
It’s our heritage and we wear it very proud Even though we don’t often say it loud In the cells of our bodies the memory remains It’s our heritage flowing through our veins
Many moons have come and gone, and many tears I’ve cried but the heart of my ancestry is very much alive I am part of them, they are part of me We are all apart of so much more than our human eyes can see
Sometimes late at night, I turn the lights down low and I feel them all around me I can hear them sing me songs "We truly love you dearly child, we’re right here when you need. Now go on, blaze that trail to freedom it’s your heritage you see!"
It’s my heritage and I wear it very proud Even though I don’t often say it loud In the cells of my body the memories remain It’s my heritage, it’s my heritage It’s my heritage flowing through my veins |

You Are My Source
You are my Source. I begin each new day in Your mercy You set the course that I will fulfill in this day You author the plan that will bring me into my full being As I obey, Your grace goes before me Your angels prepare me the way
And I praise Your Name for Your nature’s unfolding within me from glory to glory, stone upon living stone And I praise Your Name for the earth soon shall behold Your glory arising in me, that all men might see
All glory, all honor, all power be given to Thee! |
