I set a friend of mine up on a date
And I told him I’d watch his boy for the day
And we had a ball playing games, eating dogs
Riding rides at the county fair
I thought he was just being a kid
When we got back to my place and he did what the did
On a balloon that he won he wrote mommy I had fun
And I missed you and I wished you there
I wasn’t sure what he had in mind till he jumped up and ran outside

And he let it go, and he waved good-bye
Or was it hello, I don’t know but I died inside
I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling
When it was gone as it could get
And he turned and asked me,
Think it’s in heaven yet

I struggled for something to say
I was too choked up lacking the kind of faith
He had in his heart before I could start he walked me back inside
He gave me his crayola pen and said I’ll bet there’s a message
That you’d like to send, and no doubt he was right
It been locked up inside since my grandpa said good-bye
I took that yellow balloon and wrote till I ran out of room

And I let it go, and we waved good-bye
That seven-year old Lord he opened my eyes
I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling
When it was gone as it could get
Then I turned and asked him
Think it’s in heaven yet

Loving Every Minute

I was never really breathing
My heart was never really beating
Till you held me in your arms
And every love that didnt last
Every second of my past
Simply disappeared into the dark

(chorus)
And with that first kiss
I felt my life beginning
And the clock just froze
And the world stopped spinning
Now the magic of that moment
Is never ending
You made time stand still

And Im loving every minute

Its a need that never changes
A passion that is ageless
It consumes me like it did when it was new
You have led me to a place
Where every days the same
And Im always falling more in love with you

(repeat chorus)

Keepin’ it Country

Tuesday morning sports page, I’ve got coffee in my cup
A smile creeps across my face, the Braves beat the Cubs
I HATE CHICAGO!
I’m changing planes in Dallas I?m not going through O’Hare
It’s a thousand dollars more I know, but I don’t really care
I HATE CHICAGO!

Sara told me that she only
Needed space to think things out
Then she met some guy named Tony
Guess where they live now’ YOU GUESS?
I hear the food is great, I hear the summer sure is nice
It’s beautiful at Christmas, there’s three more reasons why
I HATE CHICAGO!
From their WGN station to their seven feet of snow
The rock band in the ’80’s to the Oprah Winfrey show
I HATE CHICAGO!
Sara told me that she only
Needed space to think things out
Then she met some guy named Tony
Guess where they live now?.. CHICAGO!
(Bridge)
Sara used to talk about
How one day we would settle down
Find ourselves a little farmhouse
On the outskirts of a small town
(NC Drums Only)
Then she told me that she only
Needed space to think things out
Then she met some guy named Tony
Guess where they live now?.YOU GUESSED IT!
That’s right I HATE CHICAGO!
I HATE CHICAGO!
Man, I HATE CHICAGO!
