Jeff's Song Lyrics

V1

I used to live in a
small country town
out in Ark-an-sas
With one main street
downtown
Everyone knew everybody
The old General store was
where we'd all hang around.
Annies Diner was supposedly
the very best food around.

We went to a school where everyone knew your
name.
But when it was time to
make a living,
we had to move away,.


CHORUS:

Is there any country left
in the bright lights of
the big city?
No cornfields
or honky tonks
no fields or cows
just parking lots.
No big red barns
no silos, tractors,
or bails of hay.
No roar of the John Deers
been replaced by the city bus and
subway trains.

(NEED HELP)
FINISHING

Forget the sun
forget the rain
all your need is Yaguara
to wash away the pain

Sometimes when you're down
and no one is around
just look up to the stars
and your spirit will be found

Into the Sun Y-A-G-U-A-RRRA
Into the sky so blue
Into the stars,
that shine so birght in the sky.
The spirtis that call out to you.

YAGUARA -- feel the power of the trees.

YAGUARA - here you can reach your dreams.

YAGUARA - in a land wild and free.

YAGUARA - in a place without fear just peace.

YAGUARA- Is the place for me.(Its true)


Now let Yaguara become the place for you.

SHE NEVER PAID ANY ATTENTION TO ME"

She Never Paid Any Attention to Me”

V1
We met at the bar
One cold dark night
We got to talking thinkin
Everything was just right
But then her boyfriend walked right in
And all our good times just beginning Came to an end
He took her hand I saw her ring
Yeah from that point on she Never paid any attention
to me

Chorus:
In the end I had nothing
When all I wanted was something
But all that’s past now,
its past history.
I guess it wasn’t meant to be anything
She never was meant for me
Yeah- He took her hand I saw her ring
From that point on She never Paid any attention to me

V2
Next time I saw her
she was jogging in the park
The air was cold,
the sky was dark
I waved to her ,
she waved to me
But she ran right by
never paid any attention to me.

Bridge:
Yeah
Now The only time she ever talks to me is
when I'm sound asleep deep in my dreams
But when I wake up I come back to Reality.
I love her I need her, but
she never pays any attention to me

Chorus:
In the end I had nothing
When all I wanted was something
But all that’s past now, its past history.
I guess it wasn’t meant to be anything
She never was meant for me
Yeah- He took her hand I saw her ring
From that point on
She never Paid any attention to me

Yeah He took her hand I saw her ring From that point
on she Never paid ANY attention To me.

I COULD HAVEONE WISH”

We met in Clarksville,
at Mulligan’s Bar.
I saw you walk in the door,
as I pulled up in my car.
An old 84,
blue jaguar.
I looked up to the sky and
I wished on that northern star.

I said.

Chorus:

If I could have one wish
If I could have one chance.
To get the girl that just walked
in and
ask her for this one dance.

Sometimes one chance is all you get.
So I’ve got to make the most of this.
I’ve got to lay it all on the line.
If I want her to be mine.

This is a chance I just can’t miss.
I’ve got to take it,
so I can make it.
Yeah, If I could have one wish

V2

If I could have one wish in my life.
I’d get that girl that walked
into my life.
I’d take her in my arms tonight.
I’d say my heart is here for you
Yeah I’d make you my wife.
Now, every night I pray to the light.
Just give me a chance to
see her again.
And maybe we can end up
being more than just friends
That’s right.
If I could have one wish in my life.

Chorus:

If I could have one wish
If I could have one chance.
To get the girl that just walked
in and ask her for this one dance.
Sometimes one chance is all you get.
So I’ve got to make the most of this.
I’ve got to lay it all on the line.
If I want her to be mine.
This is a chance I just can’t miss.
I’ve got to take it, so I can make it.
Yeah, If I could have one wish

V3

So now I follow that star.
Out in the north.
I keep moving on,
till I reach a fork in the road.
There I must stop before I
discharge this load.
The baggage I carry
weighs heavy on me.
I must decide how I want my
future to be.
So the one thing most important.
The one thing I can’t forget.
That this is a chance, a chance I
can’t miss.
I’ve got to take it so I can make it.
Yeah, if I could have this one wish.
Yeah if I could have just one wish

This is very rough but it's kinda what I have in mind. A southern
boy who moves north and likes it but not enough to change his roots.
Notice, even though he's frustrated and leaving, I try to keep his
image of Boston positive. Kick back your ideas. Thanks. JD

Sorry Boston
Dearman-Gray


My job stinks
It truly does
Takes sixty hours just to make enough
To pay the bills
There's nothing left for thrills.

I don't know how
People make it here
The days fly by and dissappear
Like a cloud of dust
Behind a Greyhound Bus.

(pre-chorus)
It's time to change the scenery
I know exactly what I need

(chorus)
Mississippi moons
Alabama stars
Tennessee Mountains
Luziana bayou's
Florida beaches
Georgia peaches
Carolina ocean scenes

Bluegrass pastures
In Kentucky
Soybean fields
In Arkansas
That's the world I really long to see
Sorry Boston
You just ain't my cup of tea.

(bridge)
I love the Red Sox and the lobsters
The way the leaves turn in the fall
The history of our fore-fathers
The funny way the natives talk
And oh hell yes I love the Celtics.
Man they have played some basketball
But everyday here is another fast break
And that's just not me at all...

(ch)
I need..
Mississippi moons
Alabama stars
Tennessee Mountains
Luziana bayou's
Florida beaches
Georgia peaches
Carolina ocean scenes

Sweet Virginia
Shenandoah
River flowing wild and free
That's the world I really long to see
Sorry Boston
You just ain't my cup of tea.

Sorry Boston...you just ain't my cup of tea.

"A TRUCKER'S WORK IS NEVER DONE" (c) 2004
V1

I left her in KANSAS
I'm on my way home.
Headen through FT. WORTH
on My way to San Antone.



Chorus:

A truckers work is never done.
When one jobs finished
You make an-other run.
A truckers time no time for fun
back to work tomorrow
no time for love.
Yeah don't you know
a truckers work
is never done.

Finally here's one I started, about someone who'se
grandpa knew billy the kid

HE RODE HIS HORSE
ALL NIGHT LONG
JUST TO GET BACK HOME
HE GOT IN ABOUT 5 PAST NINE
TO HIS GIRL IN SAN ANTONE
HE WAS AN OUTLAW
RIDING ON THE O-PEN RANGE
HE WAS THE MOST MYSTERIOUS MAN
HE WAS FRIENDS WITH JESSIE JAMES

---------------

HE COULD EITHER BE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE
OR YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND
AS LONG AS YOU SHOWED RESPECT
TO THE ONE KNOWN AS BILLY THE KID.
--------------------------------


YEAH HE WAS THE MAN I ADMIRED THE MOST
EVER SINCE I WAS 10
WHEN I HEARD THAT MY GREAT GRANDFATHER RODE
WITH BILLY THE KID
HE SAID DRAW YOUR GUNS BILLY
CUZ WE'RE RIDIN THE RANGE TONIGHT
BECAUSE IN THE MORNIN THE SHERRIFF'S MEN
WILL BE HERE AND THERE'LL BE A OUTLAW
GUN FIGHT.
DRAW YOUR GUNS BILLY
ITS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN
YEAH THAT'S HOW LIFE WAS FOR MY GREAT
GREAT GRANDFATHER AND HIS FRIEND
BILLY THE KID.

THE TRACTOR MAN" (c) 2005

V1

She was a business wom-an from New York State
We fell in love, every-thing was just great.
Yeah, when we flew back to get married in
San Antone.
She took the leash and threw me a bone.
She left me face down in the mud and sand,
when she found out I was a tractor man.

Chorus:

SO what if I like to work the land?
Is it so wrong to be a tractor man?
Plowin the fields,
that's my life plan.
Whether you like it or not
I'll always be.

------- The Tractor ...... MAN..............
TRACTOR -----------MAAAAAAAAAN.
THE TRACTOR --------MAAAAAAAAN.

V2

Some say I care about the farm way too much.
From milking the cows to fixing my truck.
I always think that I don't do enough.
To her it may seem that I'm out of luck,
But honey, to me - to have a good life
you don't need a million bucks.

Yeah workin the land is my life
plan.
If you can't accept me for who I am.
Then you won't be livin'
yeah you won't be livin'
yeah you won't be livin with the tractor MAN.

BRIDGE:

Yeah I like to fish and I like
to hunt.
I really don't follow business politics
all that much.
I like the carefree life, I like
the country style.
The wide open spaces,
the warm friendly smiles.
Yeah if you can't accept me for who
I am then you won't be livin'
Yeah you won't be liv-in'
Yeah you won't be livin
With the Tractor MAAAAAAAAAAN.


Chorus:

SO what if I like to work the land?
Is it so wrong to be a tractor man?
Plowin the fields,
that's my life plan.
Whether you like it or not
I'll always be.

Yeah if you can't accept me for who I am.
You won't be livin.
Yeah you won't be livin.
Girl you won't be livin with the....

I WISH"

I wish I could touch the stars
I wish I could afford that luxury car
I wish I get out of this honky-tonk bar.

I wish I could go on a trip.
But I'm stuck at work, aint that a bitch
If I'm lucky I might make it home in time
for the first pitch

Chorus:

I wish I could get by just workin the land.
But each year I have to pay Uncle Sam.
I wish I could afford AC But I've only got a
ceiling fan.

I wish I could get the chords just right.
I wish I could just party all night.
I wish this darn cell would stop ringin
I wish we could start over from the beginnin.
I wish you would just understand (How I feel)
I wish
I wish I could still be your man.

V2

I want to have you back.
All my dreams are under attack.
I'm running from the nightmares that haunt my mind.
Without you here by my side.
I feel like I'm trapped in time.
I'm standin at a fork in the road, which path I
can't decide.

I wish you all the best.
I wish you the most success.
Of anyone in the whole wide world.
I wish I could have you back.
But you only get one chance and that is that.
I wish I could come up with another plan.
And then you'd still have me as your number
one man.
It seems so easy, Yeah Its a sinch.
That's what I would do if I had that
wish.

CHORUS:


I wish I could get by just workin the land.
But each year I have to pay Uncle Sam.
I wish I could afford AC But I've only got a
ceiling fan.

I wish I could get the chords just right.
I wish I could just party all night.
I wish this darn cell would stop ringin
I wish we could start over from the beginnin.
I wish you would just understand (How I feel)
I wish
I wish I could still be your man.

IS THIS THE END?

V1

IS THIS THE END?
OR A NEW BEGINNING?
IF I ASK ENOUGH QUESTIONS
CAN I FIND TRUE MEANING?
WILL I FINALY COME TO UNDERSTAND WHY
IT DIDN'T WORK OUT?
WILL I FINALLY LEARN THE TRUTH
I'VE ALWAYS HAD SOME DOUBTS
BUT ITS ALL BECOMING CLEARER
MY TIME IS COMING NEARER
SO I'D LIKE TO STAND UP ON
THIS SOAP BOX AND SHOUT
YEAH
DOES OUR RELATONSHIP REALLY COUNT?

CHORUS:

IF ITS THE END
WHY DO I FEEL SO FREE?
I SEE NO DARKNESS
ONLY OPPORTUNITY
I OFTEN WONDER IF THERES
SOMETHING WRONG WIT ME
I OFTEN WONDER WHAT
WHAT DID I EVER DO
TO LOSE SOMEONE
SO SPECIAL AS YOU?
I OFTEN WONDER DARLIN
ARE WE STLL FRIENDS?
I LOOK TO THE SKY LORD
IS THIS THE END?

V2

IN THE BEGINNING I CRIED
AND GOT MAD AT MYSELF
I COULD HAVE BLAMED YOU
BUT I BLAMED MYSELF FOR MY ACTONS
AND NO-BODY ELSE
YES AT THE END OF THE WORK DAY
MADE A NOTE TO MYSELF
IF IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME
IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE
SO AS I REMOVE YOUR PICTURE
FROM THE TOP SHELF
I OFTEN WONDER IF WE'RE
STLL FRIENDS
BUT THEN REALITY HITS ME
THAT THIS IS THE END

CHORUS:

IF ITS THE END
WHY DO I FEEL SO FREE?
I SEE NO DARKNESS
ONLY OPPORTUNITY
I OFTEN WONDER IF THERES
SOMETHING WRONG WIT ME
I OFTEN WONDER WHAT
WHAT DID I EVER DO
TO LOSE SOMEONE
SO SPECIAL AS YOU?
I OFTEN WONDER DARLIN
ARE WE STLL FRIENDS?
I LOOK TO THE SKY LORD
IS THIS THE END?

BRIDGE:

IN THE END IT COMES DOWN TO FATE
BUT WHEN I THINK OF MY PAST
IT ONLY BRINGS BACK THE ARGUMENTS AND THE HATE
THEY ALWAYS SAY DONT PUT TOO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE
SHOULD I MOVE ON OR TRY TO OPEN LOVES GATES?
I OFTEN WONDER IS IT TOO LATE
I OFTEN WONDER IF WE STILL BE FRIENDS?
I LOOK TO THE SKY AND ASK LORD
IS THIS THE END?

CHORUS:

IF ITS THE END
WHY DO I FEEL SO FREE?
I SEE NO DARKNESS
ONLY OPPORTUNITY
I OFTEN WONDER IF THERES
SOMETHING WRONG WIT ME
I OFTEN WONDER WHAT
WHAT DID I EVER DO
TO LOSE SOMEONE
SO SPECIAL AS YOU?
I OFTEN WONDER DARLIN
ARE WE STLL FRIENDS?
I LOOK TO THE SKY LORD
IS THIS THE END?

END TAG:

- SO NEXT TIME YOU'RE THINKING OF ARGUING
WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE.
LOOK TO THE SKY AND ASK THE LORD ABOVE
AND IN TIME YOU WILL SEE HOW CLOSE YOU
WERE TO LOSING YOUR BEST FRIEND
HOW CLOSE YOU WERE TO THE VERY END.

SPAM BUG"

She used to be my girlfriend
When I lived in Nashville Tennessee
She used to be the one who truly loved me.
But then I sent her an email.
Two, Maybe three or four.
Somehow a bunch of spam found the way to her
inbox door.

I tried to call her up on the phone the next day
But she wouldn't answer me until Saturday.
When I asked her on the weekened, what it was
that I did wrong.
She said Boy you should know better than to let those
spammers, control your online world.

Chorus:

I've been bitten by the spam bug
I've been thrown into the sharks.
I've been ripped by a sharp dagger
driving straight into my heart.
I thought I had the greatest girl
all across the land.
But our love ended all because
of some email spam.

V2

Now we sometimes email back and forth a few
times a week.
She still won't let me call her.
And we hardly ever speak.
Our relationship is not what it used to be before.
I wonder when she'll put me on her mail blocker
and shut the friendship door.

Chorus:

I've been bitten by the spam bug
I've been thrown into the sharks.
I've been ripped by a sharp dagger
driving straight into my heart.
I thought I had the greatest girl
all across the land.
But our love ended all because
of some email spam.

Bridge:

I wish I could find those spammers
who sent me that dang spam.
And tell them what they did to our
love
How they've broken the heart of this man.
I wish I get her back, but an e-card just won't do.
I've been bitten by the spam bug and no longer
will have you.

Chorus:

I've been bitten by the spam bug
I've been thrown into the sharks.
I've been ripped by a sharp dagger
driving straight into my heart.
I thought I had the greatest girl
all across the land.
But our love ended all because
of some email spam.

No matter how many e-cards or e-flowers I send you.
I've been bitten by the spam bug and no longer
will have you

I was going for a breakup that happened because of
internet spam...since so many people use the computers
these days

2nd FIDDLE

V1

Sometimes you think you've made it to the top.
But reality sets in when you see the boss.
I thought I had found the right man.
who truly cared for me.
But when I caught him cheatin’
I could see reality.
I thought I was his number 1
but turned out to be his number 2
Boy, I’m tired of playing 2nd fiddle
to you.



Chorus:

I feel like a pickup truck
stuck deep in the mud.
I feel like an olive branch
caught in a raging flood.
I used to think it was a big riddle.
But now the answers are plain and simple.
I know now I’m no longer the one you love.
Boy -
I hate being stuck in the middle
I hate being caught in a pickle (A catch 22)
Yeah
I hate being stuck in the middle
Boy - I hate playing 2nd fiddle to you
(Aint that the truth)



V2


Why can’t you love me for who I am?
Why can’t you cool it with that ego
and just be my man.
Why can’t you just be yourself
Instead of playing it so cool.
Why do you always act
like I’m a good for nothing fool?
Can’t you see my patience is growing thin
Boy I hate playing 2nd fiddle to you.

Chorus:

I feel like a pickup truck
stuck deep in the mud.
I feel like an olive branch
caught in a raging flood.
I used to think it was a big riddle.
But now the answers are plain and simple.
I know now I’m no longer the one you love.
Boy -
I hate being stuck in the middle

THE BIG RED BARN


We had a white farmhouse
A cornfield in our yard
At the end of the fence was the neighbor's
Big RED BARN
Next to the stables where the horses bray
We used to go there to play in the hay.
That's where we met
That's where our love grew
That's where I came to thinking
Baby, I love you.
Back then there was no way of knowin
Just how we'd play those cards
But at that moment life was perfect in that Big Red
Barn.


Chorus:

The Big Red Barn
That's the place where we met
It's the one place where we became one, I can NEVER
forget.
As we talked we could look up and see the bright
shining stars
It was so perfect in that Big Red Barn
We'd lie there all night till the rooster called dawn
Yeah that's where we fell in love in that Big Red
Barn.
Yeah that's how we fell in love, thanks to that BIG
RED BARN

Verse 2

She moved away, time moved on.
The Seasons slowly passed, my heart could not go on.
I kept on thinking she'd come back to town one day
But she was far from home.
I felt so empty like the duckling who thought he was a
swan.
Oh I always thought of her whenever I rode that horse
by that
Big RED BARN.








Chorus:



The Big Red Barn.
That's the place where we met
It's the place where we became one, I can never
forget.
As we talked we could look up and see the bright
shining stars
It was so perfect in that Big Red Barn
We'd lie there all night till the rooster called dawn
Yeah that's where we fell in love in that Big Red
Barn.
Yeah that's how we fell in love, thanks to that BIG
RED BARN


Bridge:

How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Time moves so slowly when you're forced to wait
I shouldn't have done the things I did, to make her
leave
But I need her now lord can't you see?
Oh I need her now, lord can't you see?
Sitting here waiting in the front yard
Looking at those memories in that BIG RED BARN.

Verse 3

Driving through town one cold day in June
My heart felt so empty and cold it might as well have
been a winter afternoon.
I was sitting on my horse by that Big Red barn
When I heard the faint sound of a familiar horn.
I ran to the farmhouse looked out towards the yard.
There was my baby in that same old car.
With the top rolled down her hair blowin in the wind
I knew she had come to take me back home again.
We spent all night talking, I gave her my ring.
That I had been keeping since that last spring.
When she left me I had had it all planned out
And now it was time to show her what our love was all
about
It wasn't that hard.
We became united by that BIG RED BARN.
Yeah we became united by that BIG RED BARN.




CHORUS:

The Big Red Barn.
That's the place where we met
It's the place where we became one, I can never
forget.
As we talked we could look up and see the bright
shining stars
It was so perfect in that Big Red Barn
We'd lie there all night till the rooster called dawn
Yeah that's where we fell in love in that Big Red
Barn.
Yeah that's how we fell in love, thanks to that BIG
RED BARN

"I LOVE THE NIGHT" © 2004

V1
As I walk along these frozen shores
Past the docks, the boats with broken oars.
Down from the beach to my apartment
as I close the broken door.
Turn off the lights look at the clock
It's a quarter past four.
there's something inside me that wants something more.

I used to be lying here with you by my side.
That was then this is now, like a change with the
tide.
I didn't see you leave, but I heard you slam the
door..
Its given me time to think everything will be
all-right.
Its given me time to dream. That's why I love the
night.

Yeah----darlin---

Chorus:

I love the night
darkness all around me A world with no light
All this obscured vision pretty much sums up my
current life.
Without you here by my side….
I'm nothing But darkness transformed from light.
Yeah boy, I love the night.

V2

Thinking of you alone in the dark
I think of the times we used to walk in the park
Without you my world has been torn all apart
yeah - I feel like a fish being chased by a shark.
Yeah, all this obscured vision pretty much sums up my
current life.
Without you by my side I'm nothing but darkness
transformed from light.

Bridge:

How can go on when I'm missing the one thing
that lit up my stress filled, topsy-turvy world.
The one thing that lit up my dark cloudy days
was your picture on my desk Monday through Friday.
All this obscured vision pretty much sums up my
current life
Without you by my side I'm nothing but darkness
transformed from light.


Chorus:



I love the night
darkness all around me A world with no light
All this obscured vision pretty much sums up my
current life.
Without you here by my side….
I'm nothing But darkness transformed from light.
Yeah boy, I love the night.

I'D RATHER DRIVE MY TRACTOR"
© 2004 Lyrics By Jeff Dearman



She got up and left me
About 10 years ago.
All she left were some photos, some flowers, and a
goodbye note.
She said , you're always on the highway going from job
to job.
When are you going to settle on down here and raise
your son?
I've tried waiting up for you almost every night But
you never show up you're always busy this life just
isn't working out right.

I said don't you know I'm tryin
Inside my heart is dying
Don't' leave me here crying all alone.
If you leave I'll try to write you, email, and call
you on the phone - yeeee hoooo.
If I had my choice I'd I'd rather have you by my side
than a million bucks.
Yeah I'd rather drive my tractor than this big old
truck.


Chorus:
I'd rather drive my tractor than this big rig truck
I'd rather have you back here, and a little bit of
luck.
I'd rather collect my paycheck than head out to work
I'd rather have you by my side than a million bucks.
Yeah I'd rather drive my tractor than this big old
truck.

Bridge:
So she said I'm gone. I'm taking our son.
Up to my home in Wis-Con-sin.
I used to love you but I've had enough!
Yeah why couldn't you drive a tractor.
Instead of that dang old truck.


V2

A truckers job is never done
sometimes it seems there's no time for love.
The only love we have sometimes
is a love for the open road.
A truckers job is long and hard
I miss playing with our kids in our backyard
I wish I could come back to our farmhouse
back in our Nebraska Farm!

Yeah ----
Chorus:
I'd rather drive my tractor than this big rig truck
I'd rather have you back here, and a little bit of
luck.
I'd rather collect my paycheck than head out to work
I'd rather have you by my side than a million bucks.
Yeah I'd rather drive my tractor than this big old
truck.

Isn't it funny how life works out" © 2003 by Jeff
Dearman

Johnny was a music star in the heart of New Orleans
He was doing fine but his heart was feelin empty.
He came back home to Nashville Tennessee
He had forgotten how beautiful the country could be.
He couldn't stay long, had to go back to record a song
Someday Johnny was gonna be a big star that was his
dream


Chorus:
Isn't it funny how life works out
Just when you think you're down and out
A little bit of hope and little piece of luck shines
through
Now Johnny and Patti know their love is true
Touring together side by side
He plays the guitar and she sings all night
Yeah, Isn't it funny how life works out
Just when you think you're down and out
A little bit of hope and little piece of luck shines
through
And now we're together me and you.
Yeah Now we're together me …and you.
Oh yeah, Isn't it funny how life works out.



Yeah

Patti Was a country music star in Nashville Tennessee
She saw Johnny play the guitar up in Oaklahoma City.
She feel in love with him right from the start
Followed him from show to show, yeah she dreamed a
lot.
Wrote her own songs , recorded a demo or two.
Johnny heard the demo and he knew what he had to do.
He called her up asked her to come to see him
He told her it was urgent, he had very good reasons.
He knew she was the one, there was no doubt.
Yeah isn't it funny how life works out?








Chorus:

Isn't it funny how life works out
Just when you think you're down and out

through
And now we're together me and you.
Yeah Now we're together me …and you.
Oh yeah, Isn't it funny how life works out.


Bridge:

Now time has passed
Our love has grown
As we crossed the nation with our multi-platinum shows
We never forget where we came from.
We never forget the place we call home.
Now Johnny and Patti know their love is true
Touring together side by side
He plays the guitar and she sings all night
Yeah, Isn't it funny how life works out
Just when you think you're down and out
Yeah Isn't it funny how life works out.

End Chorus:

"I've Got a Case of the Nashville Blues"

V1:

I went to the doctor to ask him what was wrong.
But he didn't have much to say.
The appointment didn't take too long.
He said it wasn't a cold and it wasn't the flu I got
down on my hands and knees and prayed
I said, doctor can't you help me through,
Isn't there anything that you can do?
He turned to me and smiled, he said this much I know
is true. I've made my diagnosis.
You've got the Nashville Blues.

Chorus: Everywhere I go, I always think of her.
I feel my forehead getting hot, the memories pour in
no matter where I look.
The drive- in theater where we used to talk,
the quiet park where we used to walk.
That fancy four star restaurant
Oh doctor can't this ever stop?
I think I need a medic
I think I need to move
I can't take this much longer,
these gloomy Nashville Blues.
Ever since she left me, I've been sick
but I know its not the flu.
Doctor can't you hep me?
I've got the Nashville Blues.

V2: Its been six weeks now,
but the pain hasn't gone away/
Am I slowly dying, or just going insane?
Without her here by my side to brighten up the day,
I don't think this rain will ever stop.
I don't think these Nashville Blues will ever go away.


I've been to every expert
from New York to San Antonio.
From Denver to Baton Rouge From Bismarck
to Back home.
I've had every test known to man, performed on me. But
they all come down with the same conclusion,, they all
think I'm crazy.
They tell me son she's gone can't you see, like my
guitar, my heart is not in tune. I said for me its not
all that easy WHen I've got these Nashville blue.

Chorus: Everywhere I go, I always think of her.
I feel my forehead getting hot the memories keep
flodding in no matter where I look
The drive in - theater where we used to talk,
the quiet park where we used to walk.
That fancy four star restaurant,
oh doctor can't this ever stop?
I thik I need a medic I think I need to move
I can't take this much longer
these gloomy Nashville Blues.
Ever since she left me, I've been sick
but I know its not the flu.
Doctor can't you help me ,
I've got the Nashville Blues...

I think I need a medic I think I need to move
I can't take this much longer these gloomy Nashville
Blues. Ever since she left me, I've been sick but I
know its not the flu.
Doctor can't you help me?
I've got the Nashville Blues.
Yeah Doctor can't ya help me?

I Left My Heart In Little Rock" (c) 2003 By
Jeff Dearman
V1

It was a perfect day, clear blue sky.
As I watched you leave with that other guy.
I looked up and I asked the good lord why?
Maybe it was never meant to be?
But why does my heart feel so lost inside me?
Why do I feel so empty without you by my side?
What led us to this moment, me watchig you for the
last time?

Chorus:
I left my heart in Little Rock, on that corner where
you left me.
I left my soul in Texas, my pride in Tennesee.
I left my happiness in Boston, my dreams in New
Orleans.
Baby Before you left me, it was almost a perfect
dream.
I left my heart in Little Rock, on that corner where
you left me.

V2
So now I'm sitting here, drinking up the past down at
this local Nashville bar.
Listening to the jukebox as it slowly plays our song.
As I was thinking, staring out the window at the
people passing by.
I thought to myself about those special moments in our
lives...

The walks by the park down at the lake
The playground on the street watching our kids play.
Camping down near New Orleans on those hazy, lazy,
summer days.
Sleeping next to you in my bed with the one I love by
my side.
I left my heart in little rock , oh lord I wiah you
were still mine.

Chorus: I left my heart in Little Rock, on the corner
where you left me. I left my soul in Texas , my pride
in Nashville Tennesee. I left my happiness in Boston,
my dreams in New orleans. Baby before you left me, it
was almost a perfect dream. I left my heart in little
rock , on that corner where you left me.

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE. then I left my heart in Little
rock on that corner where you left me I left my soul
in Texas, lost my pride in Nashville Tennesee. I left
my happiness in Boston, my dreams in New orleans...
Pause. Oh I left my heart in LITTLE ROCK, on that
corner where you left me. yeah I left my heart in
Little Rock, on that corner where you left me.

"When You Wish Upon A FALLING Star"

When You wish upon a falling star.
You will discover who you truly are.
I have come to learn that without you
I would never have gone this far.

When you feel all hope is lost.
Just look up to the sky.
And you will see that you are
not alone.
Your heart will become alive.

Chorus:

With you by my side
I have flown so high
like an eagle soaring over a mountain-top
I have come to realize.
That......

When you wish upon a falling star.
You will discover out who you truly are.
You will take a ride down that chosen path.
Onward toward your chosen history.
Once you find that path
You will be well on your way.
And in the end that endless journey
will lead your heart to me.
Like a train across the country,
we'll go real far.
If you catch your dreams.
when you wish upon a falling star.

V2

Together our hearts are one
Like the moon, the earth, and sun.
Like two ships sailing across the sea.
Our love will never be undone.
This is our calling, our place in time.
Like a falling star, like a rainbow,
it must be a sign.
That..............






With you by my side
I have flown so high
like an eagle soaring over a mountain-top
I have come to realize.
That......

When you wish upon a falling star.

Onward toward your chosen history.
Once you find that path

Who would have thought the world was round?
Who would have thought that up was really down?
Who would have thought my life would turn around?
Who would have thought the world was round?

Chorus:

Who would have thought you'd come back to me?
When I thought our life together was history?
Who would have thought we could make it together
again.
When my back was against the wall,
running with the wind.
Who would have thought we'd run wild and free?
Yeah Who would have thought you'd come back to me!


V2

Who would have thought when it rains it pours
Who would have thought you'd walk out that door?
Who would have thought it would come to an end?
Who would have thought we could start all over
again?



Chorus:

Who would have thought you'd come back to me?
When I thought our life together was history?
Who would have thought we could make it together
again.

running with the wind.
Who would have thought we'd run wild and free?
Yeah Who would have thought you'd come back to me!

Bridge:

Who would have thought we could make it this far.

sports car?
Who would have thought you'd be my wish upon that
star.
Who would have thought we could make it this far?
Yeah- Who would have thought we could make it this
far?

Chorus:

Who would have thought you'd come back to me?

"BUMP IN THE ROAD"

V1

Sometimes you don't know which path you're walk-in on
---till you see the light
Some---times its hard to know what's wrong
when you can't fig--ure out what's right.
Yeah -
As long as you are with me boy
I know - everything will turn out right.
Its just a moment in our life---time.
That's how the story goes...
Its nothing to hang your head over darlin
Or so I've been told.
Yeah its just a page in history.
Just another bump......yeah another bump....
Just another bump. Yeah another bump.
Just another buuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmp. In the road.



Chorus:

Boy-
What would I do?
With-out you?
You're all that I've got left
What would I do
without you boy
Your kind heart is too hard to forget.
I know together we'll make it through
the storm.
Its just a page in history or so I've been
told.
Yeah its just a little bump.....yeah its just a little
bump.
Yeah its just a little bump.......In the road.

V2

They say times like this are just
small bumps in life's long winding road
But I bet they've never travelled down a road like
this before.
So now I'm faced with a fork in the road.
A chance I just can't miss.
Have you ever felt like you were standing
in the path of a semi truck
or one step from the edge of an ocean cliff?

Have you ever been free fallin from the sky
but you've got no parachute?
By the time you'd finally realize the path your on,
the point would be quite moot.
I feel like a house cat, without a home.
I've got to move on no time to fuss and moan.
Yeah its just a page in history or so I've been told.
Yeah I must tell myself its just a -
Yeah I must tell myself its just a -
Yeah I must tell myself its just a -
BUMP - IN THE ROAD.

BIRDGE:

So next time you're free fallin from the sky.
And it feels like the whole world is passing
you by.
When you're sad but there's no time to cry.
When you want to give up but you know you should
really try.
You keep asking yourself will I ever fit the mold?
Its just a page in history or so I've been told.
So lets let this whole thing unfold ....together.
Yeah boy, its just my LUCK....
I know its just a BUMP....
Yeah Boy Dontcha Know its just a BUMP.
IN THE ROAD.



CHORUS:

Boy-
What would I do?
With-out you?
You're all that I've got left
What would I do
without you boy
Your kind heart is too hard to forget.
I know together we'll make it through
the storm.
Its just a page in history or so I've been
told.
Yeah its just a little bump.....yeah its just a little
bump.
Yeah its just a little bump.......In the road.

THINGS CHANGE"(c) 2004
V1

My guy prom-ised me every-thing.
he prom-ised me HIS love.
he said every-thing would be all-right girl
our hearts would re-main united, with light from up
above.

he said, don't wor-ry about a thing
girl.
The TOUGH times we'll get through.
Not-hing can stop us now as long as I have you.

Chorus:

Things change.
Not-hing EVER stays the same.
Yeah, plans always seem to shift
like the clouds,the wind, the rain.

Yeah just like the leaves in autumn,
and the sea-sons, from Dec-em-ber to May...
like the flowers in the spring,
Things change.

V2

My boss made false promises.
When he hir-ed me.
He said in less than 10 years girl,
you will be rich and free.
10 years later, I'm still workin 9-5.
to pay the bills just to stay alive.
As I look back on those years, I
wonder if it was all one big lie?

Chorus:

Things change.
Not-hing EVER stays the same.
Yeah, plans always seem to shift
like the clouds,the wind, the rain.

Yeah just like the leaves in autumn,
and the sea-sons from dec-em-ber to May...
like the flowers in the spring,
Things change.


Bridge:

Time goes on, and I think of him each and every day.
The life we had ahead of us, those dreams
we could have made.
The times we shared together when the sky was always
blue. But now the sky is always a stormy grey.
No matter what happens in the future, it will never be
the same.
Without him here by my side, the seasons slowly
change.
Yeah.....

Chorus:


Things change.
Not-hing EVER stays the same.
Yeah, plans always seem to shift
like the clouds,the wind, the rain.

Yeah just like the leaves in autumn,
and the sea-sons from dec-em-ber to May...
like the flowers in the spring,
Things change.

Can you ever forgive me?
Yeah-
Things change.

Things Change.
Things Change. Things Change.

Gonna Take this Job and Shove it." By Jeff Dearman

V1

Sunday's gone I'm out of Luck
It's time to go back to work
I get in the car and get stuck in a traffic jam
Yeah that's grand

Pull Into work 1/2 hour late
Didn't have time to put breakfast on my plate
Too much workload for even a coffee break.
Got an unfinished presentation due by four
I don't think I can take this much more
Then I realize its only the beginning of the week.

Chorus:


All week I've only been thinking about
The weekend and the times I spend with you.
Through all the boring meetings and deadlines
I've come to conclude I love you
I'm going to think nothing of it.
that's what I'm gonna do.
As soon as Friday Rolls around I'm out of here.
Gonna take this job and shove it.

V2

Tuesday IT called, the computers were down
Fax machine jammed, no repair man around,
to make matters worse the boss wasn't anywhere to be
found.
My head is spinning round and round.
Wednesday couldn't have come much slower
I'd rather be at home cutting grass with the lawn
mower.
Watching the football gane, drinking with my friends.
Driving with you by my side through the country in my
Mercedes Benz.
Oh this week of hell just never seems to end.

Chorus:


All week I've only been thinking about
The weekend and the times I spend with you.
Through all the boring meetings and deadlines
I've come to conclude I love you
I'm going to think nothing of it.
that's what I'm gonna do.
As soon as Friday Rolls around I'm out of here.
Gonna take this job and shove it.

Bridge:


How long can it last?
How much longer can I go on?
Maybe it will be all over, by the end of this song.
At least I can take comfort in the fact that there's
only two days left.
Then I can take this job and shove it.
And finally get some rest.
I'm going to think nothing of it.
As soon as Friday rolls around I'm out of here.
Gonna take this job and shove it.

Chorus:


All week I've only been thinking about
The weekend and the times I spend with you.
Through all the boring meetings and deadlines
I've come to conclude I love you
I'm going to think nothing of it.
that's what I'm gonna do.
As soon as Friday Rolls around I'm out of here.
Gonna take this job and shove it.

Yeah as soon as Friday Rolls around I'm out of here
on the road with you.
Gonna take this job and shove it.
Yeah that's what I'm gonna do.

Gonna take this job and shove it.
Yeah that's what I'm gonna do.

history.

Some believe to get by all you need is luck.
When all you really need is to look inside your heart.

Some believe in Santa Claus, Some believe in the

Some believe their dreams can come true
by wishing on shooting stars, and magic sand.
Some believe in rainbows that lead to a pot of gold.
Some believe that sunshine is much better than the
cold.

WE USED TO LAUGH AND TALK ALL NIGHT
BACK WHEN EVERY-THING WAS ALL RIGHT.
WE USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER
YEAH THERE NEVER WAS ANOTHER.
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE GOOD TIMES
WE HAD LAST SUMMER.

CHORUS:

Why?
DID YOU MAKE ME CRY?
NOW, YOU"RE WITH ANOTHER GIRL.
Why?
DID YOU HAVE TO GO MIX UP MY BEAUTIFUL PERFECT
WORLD?

Why?

DID YOU LEAVE MY HEART TO SLOWLY DIE?
SO NOW I PICK UP MY CELL
I'VE GOT TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY

BUT I HEAR NO ANSWER

WHY OH WHY?
WHY OH WHY....

WHY OH WHY.

V2

WE HAD IT ALL
ALL FOR NONE
WE USED TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN
YOU KNOW ITS THE TRUTH BOY
TOGETHER WE WERE ONE
BUT THE STORM HAS ROLLED IN
TO REPLACE THE SUN
THE BLUE SKIES CLOUDED OVER, I THINK THE
DARKNESS HAS WON
THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE
NOW I HAVE TO FIND MY PATH ALONE
AND REALIZE THAT YOU'RE GONE

SO NOW I ASK YOU -

CHORUS:

Why?

DID YOU MAKE ME CRY?
NOW, YOU"RE WITH ANOTHER GIRL.
Why?

I'VE GOT TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY

BUT THERE'S NO ANSWER -

WHY OH WHY?
WHY OH WHY....
WHY OH WHY

BRIDGE:

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH HIM
BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE LIVED A DREAM
YOU HAD ONE CHANCE TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE
BUT NOW YOU'LL NEVER BE WITH ME.
BABY I JUST WANT TO WORK THINGS OUT
TO COME TO SOME KIND OF AN END
AND WHEN THE DUST SETTLES
I HOPE WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS.

Chorus:


Why?

DID YOU MAKE ME CRY?
NOW, YOU"RE WITH ANOTHER GIRL.

DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND MIX UP MY
BEAUTIFUL PERFECT WORLD?

I'VE GOT TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY

BUT THERE'S NO ANSWER - ON THE LINE -

WHY OH WHY?
WHY OH WHY....
WHY OH WHY

SO NOW I SPREAD MY WINGS AND FLY
ALONE UP INTO THIS DARK STORMY SKY
THAT LEAVES ME WITH JUST ONE QUESTION
WHY OHHHH WHY....
WHY OHH WHY.
WHY OH AH WHY YIEEE YIEE
WHY OH WHY, WHY YIEE, WHY OH WHYYYYYYYYYYY.

What does a Daddy Do?"
(c) 2003 Lyrics by Jeff Dearman
Style of Music: Country

V1:

Picnics at the park.
Sleepovers after dark.
No matter what she ever did,
She's always owned my heart.

Coloring with Crayola Crayons,
building Castles in the Sand.
25 Cents at the neighborhood
lemonade Stand.
Parties in the pool, they were so grand.
I slowly take her hand,
as I drop her off at her first day of school.



Chorus:

Daddy's little girl,
I know one day you'll grow up,
but the memories will remain the same.
No matter where you end up, in this lifelong game.
No matter where you are, or how far you go.
You'll always be the most important person in my
world.
Oh what does a daddy do?
When she's no longer daddy's little girl?

V2:

Daddy's little girl is all grown up.
She's got her boyfriend John.
Next week she'll be going with him to their senior
prom.
Next will come college, her degree and a full time
job.
Without her in our home the days seem too long.
I'll walk up to her bedroom and most things will be
gone.
When I look out the window I can still hear you play
Even though most things may be gone, the memories
always remain.




Chorus:

Daddy's little girl.
I know one day you'll grow up,
but the memories will remain the same .
No matter where you end up, in this lifelong game.
No matter where you are, or how far you go.
You'll always be the most important person in my busy
world.
Oh what does a daddy do? > When she's no longer daddy
> s little girl?

V3

Daddy's Little Girl is grown up now.
She's married with three kids of her own.
She drives back to their townhouse, in her Mercedes
Benz.
living together in a happy home.
I am so happy for her.
She's everything I wanted her to be.
All I have left now are those beautiful memories.

Bridge:

Yeah, I gave you life. Brought you into this world.
No matter how old you get to me you'll always be my
little girl.
Whenever I look out the window I can still hear you
play.
Even though most things may be gone, the memories
always remain.



Chorus:

Daddy's little girl.
I know one day you'll grow up,
but the memories will remain the same.
No matter where you end up, in this lifelong game.
No matter where you are, or how far you go.
You'll always be the most important person in my busy
world.
Oh what does a daddy do?
When she's no longer daddy's little girl?

Oh What does a daddy do?
When she's no longer daddy's little girl

THAT'S WHAT - MY DADDY SAID" (c) 2005

V1

Started life in New York City.
Went to school in San Antone
Got a Job in Oklahoma.
working at a guitar store.
Worked for 10 long years now.
Met a guy, he was all mine.
Had 2 kids and a farm house.
Yeah everything was just right.
I know that this is not
where the road will end.
My journey will be long one.
And I owe it all to him.

My daddy said.

Chorus:

Girl
You've got to think about where your going.
And never forget where you have been.
You've got to get out of that foxhole.
And you've got to start to live.
You've got to learn from everyone around you.
You've got to take the bull by the horns.
You've got to never stop dreamin.
Always strive for something more.
\So now I've got to write these lyrics.
I've got to live this dream.
All the way from a small farmhouse
in Oklahoma
To the suburbs of Nashville Tennessee.
Yeah that's what my daddy said

V2

Now we're on tour, every weekend
around these great 50 states.
Was this our true destiny?
Or was it always just our fate?
To play in every tavern from
New York to San Antone
To never stop dreaming
to always strive for something more.
Our hard work is paying off now.
As we ride the highways to the top.
This road is a but a journey.
A story that never stops.

My Daddy Said:

Chorus:

Girl
You've got to think about where your going.
And never forget where you have been.
You've got to get out of that foxhole.

You've got to never stop dreamin.

"LIFE" - LYRICS by Jeff Dearman (c) 2005

V1

Life is like a river
You've got to go with the FLOW.
Life is a pair of skis
How fast can you go?

Life is an angry mountain
How High Can you climb?
Come jump in the fountain.
You've got to live before you can
be alive.

Chorus:

Life is an open highway.
Which way should I go?
Without you by my side boy,
I will never know.

Life is a dead end street
without you by my side.
Shall I turn around and face
my past,
or run away and hide?

V2

.

Life is ray of sunlight.
Offering a ray of hope.
Without you here next to me.
How can I cope?

Life is a Do Not Enter
a Roadblock, a One way street.
Without you, I'm at a dead end,
My victory going down in defeat


Chorus:

Life is an open highway.
Which way should I go?
Without you by my side boy,
I will never know.

Life is a dead end street
without you by my side.
Shall I turn around and face
my past,
or run away and hide?

Bridge:

Life if a rainbow.
At the end of a storm.
I just hope that when the storm clears,
I won't be standing here alone.

Chorus:

Life is an open highway.
Which way should I go?
Without you by my side boy,
I will never know.

Life is a dead end street
without you by my side.
Shall I turn around and face
my past,
or run away and hide?

yeah Life is an open highway.
Which way should I go?
Without you by my side boy.
I will never know.

"I THINK I'M ADDICTED TO THE NET"

V1

I used to have a regular dial-up phone.
I used to have free time.
I used to not mind
waiting in line.
But then the 90's came.
Microsoft and Bill Gates.
Then The internet came out
one summer's day.
I got my aol and my ISP.
I got my email acccount
and the rest was history.

Chorus:
I'm addicted to the internet.
I can't seem to stop.
I'm addicted to my blackberry
and my I-Pod.
The only mail I receive now
is email or spam.
I even date online
e-harmony -
yeah its where I found my man.
Some folks think I've lost it by looking at
too much google.
They wonder why a girl like me would look on ebay
for a french poodle.
And now no one knows what I'll do next.
They never know what to expect.
The moral of this story is -
never mess with a girl who
is addicted to the net.


V2

My boyfriend doesn't like it when I check
my my space account.
Every time I get an IM
he wants to know what its all about.
I tell him don't worry, its just an old
friend from back in high school.
My boyfriend tells me I can see him,
but I have to IM him back before 2.
The internet has changed our relationship.
Thats the awfultruth.


Chorus:

I'm addicted to the internet.
I can't seem to stop.
I'm addicted to my blackberry
and my I-Pod.
The only mail I receive now
is email or spam.
I even date online
e-harmony -
yeah its where I found my man.
Some folks think I've lost it by looking at
too much google.
They wonder why a girl like me would look on ebay
for a french poodle.
And now no one knows what I'll do next.
They never know what to expect.
The moral of this story is -
never mess with a girl who
is addicted to the net.

Bridge:

Now I've threatend to IM my lawyer.
I've threatened to ban my EX boyfriend from his ISP.
I said, boy you've proven that you're not
worth it.
So Now its time for you to leave me.
He texts me every day and night,
sends me e flowers and e cards asking please
come back to me.
I said we've tried that once before, it
ain't happening.

Chorus:

I'm addicted to the internet.
I can't seem to stop.
I'm addicted to my blackberry
and my I-Pod.
The only mail I receive now
is email or spam.
I even date online
e-harmony -
yeah its where I found my man.
Some folks think I've lost it by looking at
too much google.
They wonder why a girl like me would look on ebay
for a french poodle.
And now no one knows what I'll do next.
They never know what to expect.
The moral of this story is -
never mess with a girl who
is addicted to the net.

"THIS TOWN"

V1

There used to be a diner on the corner
of Central and Main.
We used to hear the whistle of an outbound train.
We used to pass the barber shop on the way to school
We used to swim down by the river
in a deep cold pool.

Chorus:

This town
Has grown as the years passed by.
This town was the place where
I learned to spread my wings and fly.
This town was where I first met you.
This town is where my heart will
always hold true in
This town

V2

Time passed people moved away.
The farms replaced by buildings
Factories replaced the bails of Hay.
Horses no longer line the roads,
only suburban houses where children play..
cars whizzing by with drivers on cell-phones
One thing has become clear day by day.
Times used to be so much more simple,
than they are today.

Chorus:

This town
Has grown as the years passed by.
This town was the place where I learned
to spread my wings and fly
This town was where I first met you
This town is where my heart will always
hold true in
This town.

V3

The old storefronts have been remodeled
Some have vanished, been torn down.
The people we used to see walking the streets
Never come around.
While they moved on to distant places
to explore new worlds , meet different faces,
We stayed here in our hometown
and I shared my love with you.
Yes no matter what our friends say
I know we'll never move.

Bridge:

Now our town's become a city.
It even changed its name.
The only time the people meet,
is at the big high school football game,
We've grown up in this same place,
and watched it slowly change.
We stayed here in our hometown
and I shared my love with you.
Yes no matter what our friends say
I know we'll never move.
From:

Chorus:

This town
Has grown as the years passed by.
This town was the place where I learned
to spread my wings and fly
This town was where I first met you
This town is where my heart will always
hold true in
This town.

Life is like a rainbow
many colors
that definie us all
some bring us fame and fortune
some bring us nothing at all.
The path you choose will lead you
to your final destiny
Follow the eagle on its path
onward toward the sea.
In the end the only thing that matters
is who you are
and how you use your heart
will determine how far you go.

Chorus:

Life is like a rainbow
after a raging storm
when you see it shining
you'll know you're never alone.
You might even find that
elusive pot of gold.

America
Land of the free
Home of the brave young soldiers
marching into battle
heading into war
sacrificing their lives
to keep our flag upon our shores.

Land of the bright warm sun
America

From shore to shore

V1

As we walk down the snowy trail
We hold our heads up high.
Autumn leaves will be falling soon
The clouds slowly passing by
Soon the winds will begin to change.
The days will grow longer with snow and rain.
The ice the fog, the sun grows dim
Like a melting candle flame.

No matter how
fierce the storm
I know that our love will shine through
I will survive the dark-est days
as long as I have you.
Like flowers blossoming in the spring
The same thing is happening to you and me.
As long as I have you there
will be no other
I keep thinking about you all through that short
summer.

CHORUS:

As I walk along this path of life
I think of times of love and strife
and wonder if it all went wrong
where did I trip, where did we fall?
Oh -
Autumn leaves
Fall to the ground
You never look back once or turn around
You move ahead never cross my line
because we can never turn back time.

V2

As Long as I have you my family
There will be no other
This pack is my history
but sometimes power can
control the mind and take
hold of the heart.
And once darkness grabs hold I'll
lose the flame I had inside.
Oh now I must work to save my honor
there isn't much more time.
Oh now I must walk that line.

Chorus:

As I walk along the path of life
I think of the times of love and strife
And wonder where it all went wrong
Where did I trip
Where did we fall?
Oh Autumn Leaves
falling to the ground
you never look back once or turn around
You move ahead never cross the line
because we can never turn back time.

V3

Like Autumn Leaves
we fell so fast
why could we not make this love here
last?
The pain so deep
mountain so steep
Oh time went by so very fast.
Its over now its in the past.
Sometimes we slip and fall
we lose it all
we break and mend
and move on again
our spirits move with the breeze
just slow and steep
through the trees.
Just like in my dreams
my future slowly falls
Like Autumn leaves.

Chorus:

(REPEAT)

V4

Oh Someday soon
I'll remember you
A family that I once loved
A family that once loved me.
Now its time to take this
journey
its time to cross this broad
cold stream
I made mistakes
realized a bit too late
that what I did would quickly
seal my fate.
I lost my honor, my dreams, all hope.
Now all I have is fear
How did I know the end was upon me how
did I know it was so near?
Now I must chase that star
and wonder where you are.
Lord are you watching over me?
My spirit is all I have left
to guide me down the path
this great journey.
The sky is clouded over void
of starlight
as the summer sun beats down on me.
I look up to the sky and search for shooting stars
and falling autumn leaves.
