On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life They marked the shoulder with a cross An' his family gathers round On a piece of Hallowed ground Their hearts are heavy with their loss As the tears fall from their eyes There's One who'll always sympathize God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on An' all the angels up in Heaven They're not grieving because they're gone There's a smile on their faces 'Cause they're in a better place than they've ever known God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are so far from home It still makes me sad When I think of my Grand-dad I miss him each and every day But I know the time will come When my own grandson Wonders why I went away Maybe we're not meant to understand Till we meet up in the Promised Land God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on And all the angels up in Heaven They're not grieving because they're gone There's a smile on their faces 'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh they've ever known God only cries for the living 'Cause it's the living that are so far from home Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm YouTube - Diamond Rio - God Only Cries |

You place your hand on His Bible, when you swear to tell the Truth
His name is on our greatest Monuments, and all our money too And when we Pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand There is no separation, we're one Nation under Him In God We Still Trust Here in America He's the one we turn to every time The goin' gets rough He is the source of all our Strength The One who watches over us Here in America In God We Still Trust Now there are those among us, who want to push Him out And erase His name from everything, this country's all about From the Schoolhouse to the Courthouse, they're Silencing His Word Now it's time for all Believers, to make our Voices heard In God We Still Trust Here in America He's the one we turn to every time The goin' gets rough He is the source of all our Strength The One who watches over us Here in America In God We Still Trust Here in America Here in America Here in America, In God We Still Trust Here in America In God We Still Trust Here in America |

Gettin' out of the tub all drawn up like a raisin
Showed my fingers to my Daddy while he was shavin' Said look at my toes Dad what's wrong with my skin Will this go away, will I be normal again Well he picked me up and set me down on the hamper Wiped off his face while he gave me the answer For the first time I noticed the lines in his grin As he dabbed a little foam on the end of my chin, he said Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of They're just a product of time and true love Some are gonna come and go Some are gonna come and stay Son, you're still young, you're gonna be ok Well, I walked down the hall, saw my Mom gettin ready For a long over due date, dinner with Daddy She was cussin' those crows feet, didn't know I was listenin' Started talkin' ‘bout her younger years And how much she missed them and I said Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of They're just a product of time and true love Some are gonna come and go Some are gonna come and stay Mom you still look young, you're gonna be ok As I get a little older, I'm startin' to get a few And I'm sure I gave Mom and Dad at least one or two We're all gonna have ‘em, there ain't no doubt But those wrinkles in life ain't nothin' you can't iron out Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of They're just a product of time and true love Some are gonna come and go Some are gonna come and stay I still feel young, I'm gonna be ok Those wrinkles ain't nothin' to be scared of They're just a product of time and true love |

Lyin' on our backs we stared at the stars
Tryin' to count them or guess how far I still remember the way that it felt The night we hung our dreams out on Orion's belt The moonlight danced out on the water's edge We started a walk that hasn't ended yet And step by step and mile by mile Taking each turn together Following the signs that point to forever And side by side True and tenderhearted We'll finish what we started The road we have traveled has sometimes been steep And we've crossed troubled waters that were raging and deep But with memories to lean on and love as our guide There's no path too winding, no river too wide One foot in front of the other each day Keeping a promise that two young lovers made And step by step and mile by mile Taking each turn together Following the signs that point to forever And side by side True and tenderhearted We'll finish what we started |

Born the middle son of a farmer
And a small town Southern man Like his daddy's daddy before him Brought up workin' on the land Fell in love with a small town woman And they married up and settled down Natural way of life if you're lucky For a small town Southern man First there came four pretty daughters For this small town Southern man Then a few years later came another A boy, he wasn't planned Seven people livin' all together In a house built with his own hands Little words with love and understandin' From a small town Southern man And he bowed his head to Jesus And he stood for Uncle Sam And he only loved one woman He was always proud of what he had He said his greatest contribution Is the ones he'll leave behind Raised on the ways and gentle kindness Of a small town Southern man Raised on the ways and gentle kindness Of a small town Southern man Callous hands told the story For this small town Southern man He gave it all to keep it all together And keep his family on his land Like his daddy, years wore out his body Made it hard just to walk and stand You can break the back But you can't break the spirit Of a small town Southern man Finally death came callin' For this small town Southern man He said it's alright 'cause I see angels And they got me by the hand Don't you cry, and don't you worry I'm blessed, and I know I am 'Cause God has a place in Heaven For a small town Southern man YouTube - Alan Jackson - Small Town Southern Man |

Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul insight The city's lookin' like a ghost town On a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield There's a storm moving in He's headin' back from somewhere That he never should have been And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls Every light is burnin' In a house across town She's pacin' by the telephone In her faded flannel gown Askin' for miracle Hopin' she's not right Prayin' it's the weather That's kept him out all night And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls The thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls She's waitin' by the window When he pulls into the drive She rushes out to hold him Thankful he's alive But on the wind and rain A strange new perfume blows And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes And he knows that she knows And the thunder rolls And the thunder rolls The thunder rolls And the lightnin' strikes Another love grows cold On a sleepless night As the storm blows on Out of control Deep in her heart The thunder rolls She runs back down the hallway To the bedroom door She reaches for the pistol Kept in the dresser drawer Tells the lady in the mirror He won't do this again Cause tonight will be the last time She'll wonder where he's been |

How do I love you
Well let me see I love you like a lyric loves a melody Baby, completely Wrapped up in you How do I need you Can't you tell I need you like a penny Needs a wishing well Baby, completely Wrapped up in you Every now and then When the world That were living in is crazy You gladly hold me and carry me through No one in the world has ever done What you did for me And I'd be sad and lonely If there were no you Well how do I love you Let me count the ways There ain't no number high enough To end this phrase Baby, completely Wrapped up in you Every now and then When the world That were living in is crazy You gladly hold me and carry me through No one in the world has ever done What you did for me And I'd be sad and lonely If there were no you How do I love you Well don't you know I love you bout as deep As any love can grow Baby, completely Wrapped up in you Baby, completely Wrapped up in you |
