ENGLEWOOD
I used to have a home up north
and each winter I would freeze

I couldn’t step outside my door
without snow up to my knees

I got so tired of icy winds
just thought it's time I should
pack up the truck and move to Englewood

Yes life is good in Englewood
where learnin' how to relax is a priority

It's a little slice of paradise
with sun and sand and sea

Englewood where life is good to me
Well we've got Eagles, Elks and Moose and the V.F.W.

They serve the best food anywhere
and real good liquor too

I'll stay right here forever Lord
Cause I love it like I knew I would

It's the closest thing to heaven, Englewood

 

YOUR SWEET LOVE

He said if I were rich
then I would give you everything

A big house and a diamond ring
I'd buy the world for you

Then she looked him in the eye
and whispered her reply

Honey that sounds nice
but just your love will do

Your sweet love
means more than money

Your sweet love
is all I want from you

No I would never trade
this great life that we've made

I need nothing else
just your sweet love will do

He said if I could only save a little from my pay
We'd book a cruise or take a plane
somewhere if you wanted to

With a twinkle in her eye
she said I can't swim and scared to fly

But thanks anyway just your love will do
Your sweet love
means more than money

Your sweet love
is all I want from you

No I would never trade
this great life that we've made

I need nothing else
just your sweet love will do

 

APOLOGY

Do I owe anybody in here an apology
Last night Jim Beam and Jack Daniels got the best of me

They were two mean and nasty guys
Gave me a headache and two blood shot eyes

Do I owe anybody in here an apology
Do I owe anybody in here an apology

Another ladies night has just taken its toll on me
Now I'm returning to the scene of the crime

To the place I'm told that I lost my mind
So do I owe anybody in here an apology

I was really really over the line
that's what they said

When I danced on the bar with my tee shirt
wrapped around my head

But I don't believe it
Yeah they tell me I was drunk as could be

but I don't remember so don't ask me
Do I owe anybody in here an apology

 

ON OUR JUDGMENT DAY

No more heroes will remain unsung
And there's a freedom bell that will be rung

It's all just gonna' melt away
On our judgment day

No more fighting just to see who wins (The day will come when we'll all live in peace)
Or pointing at each other’s sins (I see in you, the same I see in me)

No, we'll look at things a different way
On our judgment day

This isn't my home, I’m just passing through
But I'm happy while I'm here cause I'm with you

No more causing one another pain (Bring me your hurt and let's make it better)
Or praying all won’t end in vain (For every season there's always a reason)

Cause the cards will fall another way
On our judgment day

A new direction will unfold (Don't need a map to show me where to go)
There's a higher power to behold (Drop to my knees, gonna dig deep into my soul)

And the sun will burn the clouds away
On our judgment day
On our judgment day
On our judgment day
 

KEY TO MY HEART
Here I am take the key to my heart
In the palm of your hand from the start

So just come on in and we'll let love begin
Here I am take the key to my heart

Go ahead take control of my soul
Loving you is my primary role

The divine law of chance
Led us to this romance

Here I am take control of my soul
There's a place in my mind

That I catch a glimpse of from time to time
And it looks like you and me

There in eternity
And that would be fine

Yes I'll give you the best of my life
Be my shelter from dark loney nights

Let us be swept away
Livin' each day by day

Here I am take the key to my life

 

PARTY - i - tis
There's something that's contagious and it's all over town
Everybody's' got it, spreadin' it all around

And from what I've heard, they just can't find a cure
They say it makes you thirsty and you can't sit still

Your mind begins to move your legs against their will
And the next thing you know, where you're headed, you're not sure

Yeah, those wheels are spinnin fast, knowin' it's not far
To get ya' where you need to go

To dance the night away at the locals' bar or pour a cold one down real slow
You got severe party-i-tis

It's not a cold or the flu
You'll need a shot of some fun

Then chase it with a drink or two
There's no pills you can take to alleviate

The affliction that's a' ailin' you
So take a shot of some fun, if you've got party-i-tis too

Suddenly before your eyes a big sign appears
That says we have live music and imported beers

Your mouth whispers sweet mercy
Please just let it be so

You stumble through the front door, feelin' feverish and weak
But you know in an hour, you'll be back on your feet

Doin' the electric slide with Gena, Mary and Joe
Yeah, those wheels are spinnin fast, knowin' it's not far

To get ya' where you need to go
To dance the night away at the locals' bar or pour a cold one down real slow

Sounds like severe party-i-tis
It's not a cold or the flu

You'll need a shot of some fun
Then chase it with a drink or two

There's no pills you can take to alleviate
The affliction that's a' ailin' you

So take a shot of some fun, if you've got party-i-tis too
So take a shot of some fun, if you've got party-i-tis too

WEDDING DAY

For you my love on our wedding day
I offer you more than gold

We'll share a vow I won't betray
And it's with you that I'll grow old

Today's the day that we'll start out new
A future so far and so bright

The many dreams we can pursue
As we move into the light

And there will be a great celebration
We'll have those we love there by our side

And you will be my sweet salvation
Forever yours, I'll abide

(solo)
And there will be a great celebration
We'll have those we love there by our side

And you will be my sweet salvation
Forever yours, I'll abide

For you my love on this wedding day
I offer you more than gold

We'll share a vow I won't betray
And it's with you that I'll grow old

 

MOVIN' TO THE CAROLINA COAST
Once there was a girl who lived in East Kentucky
Who wished upon a shooting star on a cold October night

And through the velvet sky, she knew there was an answer
To every single honest prayer, if you ask it right

Ask it right
On a bright November morn, she packed up her belongings

And headed to the station where the buses always run
She bought a one way fare and ran from East Kentucky

To anywhere, she didn't care
Just point her to the sun, to the sun

She's been waitin' for so long
For real love to come along

It's the only thing she ever wanted most
So she's waving her goodbyes with faith shining in her eyes

And moving to the Carolina Coast
On South 158 she's starin' out the window

Until she sees a sign that reads welcome to Kitty Hawk
It was right then that she knew she had to tell the driver

I know there is no bus stop here, but please just let me off
Let me off

She walked down tree lined streets, enraptured by the beauty
Of cottages and boutiques in this Atlantic ocean town

In a store front ad it said, help wanted, room included
She told them she'd start working Monday

And there she settled down, settled down
She's been waitin' for so long

For real love to come along
That's the only thing she's ever wanted most

As she stands upon the beach, her dreams just out of reach
As the stretch of sand down the Carolina coast

Now her job was going great, serving sticky rolls and coffee
In a cafe down on vine street where the locals like to meet

Then in walks through the door a tall and handsome stranger
And asks her if the pie is homemade

And he sweeps her off her feet, off her feet
Ten years ago today she rode a bus from East Kentucky

Where she'd wished upon a shooting star on a cold October night
And through the velvet sky,

She knew there was an answer to every single honest prayer,
If you ask it right, ask it right

She's been waitin' for so long
For real love to come along

That's the only thing she's ever wanted most
With her house and family, she's as happy as can be

Living on the Carolina coast


SO EASY TO DO

I can't turn on the TV without seeing some bad news
There's always something brings you down at any time you choose

Those politics are killing me, they got me so entwined
I'd better shut the damn thing off before I lose my mind,

Easy to do, oh it's easy to do
Don't wanna lose my mind, but it's so easy to do

I got a second mortgage even easier than the first
I'd better sell some property before the bubble burst

Gotta eat the right stuff cause I must preserve my youth
Don't wanna get off track, I might lose sight of the truth

Easy to do, oh it's easy to do
Don't wanna lose sight of truth, but it's so easy to d
 

It seems I'm short on time as I hear that endless tick
I'd better learn to love this life, cause it can pass by quick

(SOLO)
I'm just learning as I go, got to read between the lines
Handwritings' on the wall, if you just look for the signs

I don't know all the answers, but I'm learnin' self control
Don't wanna get religious, but don't wanna lose my soul

Easy to do, oh it's so easy to do
Don't wanna lose my soul, but it's easy to do

Don't wanna lose my soul, but it's so easy to do



ANGEL IN DISGUISE

She rises up to greet the day
Removes all doubt that's in her way

Then she listens for the cries
Another angel in disguise

He hangs around the worst of men
He'll hear his call, I don't know when

But watch the tears fall from his eyes
Another angel in disguise

All they want is grace
For all they can embrace

So life goes on and dreams come true
From where it came, they never knew

It must have fallen from the skies
Another angel in disguise

All they want is grace
For all they can embrace

So life goes on and dreams will fade
For each a different price was paid

They say the spirit never dies
Another angel in disguise

Another angel in disguise

 

EL DIABLO

They started out in Utah
A place called Pleasant Grove

They talked about their childhood days
While all night long they drove

Across the great salt desert
The air was scorching hot

To them anything was legal
Just as long as you don't get caught

They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight
She was raised on money

Spoiled till she got bored
He was raised on nothin'

And was hungry to the core
Well you know what people say

That opposites attract
They're headin' down a one way road

And ain't never comin' back
They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight

They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight
It was in a town called Cobre

Just past Nevada's line
They pulled into a pawn shop

Where they bought a 45
The clerk politely asked their names

But he was just ignored
Instead they shot him full of holes

And left him dying on the floor
They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight

They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight
How did these people get this way

What made them turn so cold
Did they ever have a heart or soul

Such little value placed upon a life
Is just beyond belief

Their only aim was to cause some pain and grief
They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight

It's just another story
But one you've heard enough

About how some live by their own rules
Just to call the systems bluff

It was right outside of Reno
That's where they had to fall

They were cruisin' 110
When they hit that concrete wall

They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight
They were ridin with El Diablo Amigo tonight

El Diablo Amigo tonight

El Diablo Amigo tonight

 

GOD'S IN CONTROL

Every night before I sleep
I hear your voice, it comforts me

Within my prayers, this soul to keep
I call your name, so still and deep

You're in control
You're in control

God's in control
Where are you now, I think I know

I'll look real hard, roll back the stone
I'll search the sky, behind each cloud

Stand by the ocean and cry out loud
You're in control

You're in control
God's in control

The joyous sound of rolling thunder
The feel of raindrops on my skin

I sit in praise and endless wonder
Of this power I feel within

I hold you here, so very close
Whispering my love to the Holy Ghost

Your face is sweet serenity
Always so clear, reminding me

You're in control
You're in control

God's in control

God's in control
