[(1)]
There’s a little mountain church in my thoughts of yesterday
Where friends and family gathered for the Lord
There an old fashioned preacher taught the straight and narrow way
For what few coins the congregation could afford

[(2)]
Dressed in all our Sunday best we sat on pews of solid oak
And I remember how our voices filled the air
How momma sounded like an angel on those high soprano notes
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there

Chorus:
Looking back now that little mountain church house
Has become my life’s corner stone
It was there in that little mountain church house
I first heard the word I’ve based my life upon

Instrumental: D, G, D, A7, D, G, D, A7, D

[(3)]
At the all day Sunday singing and dinner on the ground
Many were the souls that were revived
While my brothers and my sisters who’ve gone on to glory land
Slept in piece in the maple grove nearby

Chorus:
Looking back now that little mountain church house
Has become my life’s corner stone
It was there in that little mountain church house
I first heard the word I’ve based my life upon

Outro: D, G, D, A7, D, G, D, A7, D

The single lost the bullet,
the singer’s losin’ his wife;
well I might be crazy but I wouldn’t change
A single thing about this life.

Sometimes we feel like champions,
sometimes we just can’t win,
sometimes our records hit the top of the charts
or the discount bargain bins.
Through 20 years of touring
We’ve remained partners, brothers, and friends
we keep it together cause we’re sure
we’re gonna be big time before it all ends.
Well you know you’ve got the Nitty Gritty
and Jimmy’s got his drums along
then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be
singing all our favorite songs
Catch the fire from the folks in the front row
fan the flames as the beat gets strong
it’s great to be a part of something
so good that’s lasted so long

Well I saw a story in the paper
suddenly the band’s big news
the critics all like our records just fine
but they seem a bit confused

is it folk or rock or country
seems like everybody cares but us
so just leave us an early wakeup call
so we don’t miss the bus

Chorus
The band says it can’t stand my latest song, it’s too personal
but my first wife’s second marriage blew up
she had to get the dang thing annulled

well if that ain’t something to sing about
well you tell me what is
and we’ll give it a beat and put it on the street
and we just might have another hit

Chorus

(Great Song)

I’ve been lookin’ for a love someone to hold as I lay sleeping [/]
I’m not talking about someone who’s scared of promises or keeping up [/]
I’m just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I’ve been lookin’ for someone to be all mine [/]

I had too much lonely
I need a one and only
Someone I can care about and call my own
Well in true tradition
Without an intermission
We’ll still be together when the kids are grown [/]

I’ve been lookin’ for a love someone to hold as I lay sleeping [/]
I’m not talking about someone who’s scared of promises or keeping up [/]
I’m just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I’ve been lookin’ for someone to be all mine [/]

(instrumental break) – Follow bridge (D A …)

I’ve been lookin’ for a love someone to hold as I lay sleeping [/]
I’m not talking about someone who’s scared of promises or keeping up [/]
I’m just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I’ve been lookin’ for someone to be all mine
I’ve been lookin’ for someone to be all mine
I’ve been lookin’ for someone to be all mine /
(Snap or clap)
I’ve been lookin’ for a love someone to hold as I lay sleeping [/]
I’m not talking about someone who’s scared of promises or keeping up [/]
I’ve been lookin’ for a love someone to hold as I lay sleeping [/]
I’m not talking about someone who’s scared of promises or keeping up [/]
I’ve been lookin . . .

FIRST CHORUS: That’s the way I remember
seemed to me when I was young
but I can still see the leaves slowly fall to the ground
and the snow on the trees as the winter comes down
still I go home a-gain in my heart

My father worked hard on the railroad tracks
37 years cut across his back he gave it all he had
for what he believed like every other kid that came
before I grew up believing there was something more
and I still believe I still believe

LAST CHORUS: That’s the way I remember
it seemed to me when I was young
but I can still see the lightning on a warm summer night
and the rain on the window when I close my eyes
I can still hear us laughing on the front porch
in the dark there are days when I know
that I’ve traveled so far that I’ll never find the road
leading back to the start still I go home a-gain
in my heart still I go home a-gain in my heart
in my heart in my heart

Spring is almost over and the summer’s comin, the days are gettin’ long

You and me goin fishin in the dark lyin on our backs
And countin the stars where the cool grass grows

We’ll be fallin in love in the middle of the night just moving slow

INTRO: C G D G G
For as long as I remember When Friday night came round The family would gather
out at grandpa’s house With supper over and the dishes done Then the best time came
At an old upright piano that only grandma played
CHORUS: She played beautiful dreamer my wild irish rose never played them perfect
but there was love in every note and grandpa sat beside her in harmony they sang
at the old upright piano that only grandma played
Grandpa was a stubborn man They said it was his style grandma called him onrery
But she said it with a smile Even he could not desguise the love he felt so strong
We all could see it In his eyes When she played his favorite song

REPEAT CHORUS:
I was almost seventeen When my grandma died I stayed all night with grandpa
The old man never cried We sat at her piano There was nothing we could say
It was the first time in my life I ever heard my grandpa play

It wasn’t beautiful dreamer my wild irish rose it was a song he played from memory
and he never missed a note I sat right there beside him until the morning came
what a friend we have in Jesus was the only song he played

REPEAT CHORUS:
at the old upright piano that only grandma played

I DON’T THINK IT’S PERFECT BUT IT SOUNDS REALLY CLOSE WHEN YOU PLAY ALONG WITH RECORDING.

# Well there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun right

There to greet a working man when his day is done

I’m gonna pack my pa and I’m gonna pack my aunt
I’m gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch

Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back
And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac

Long and dark shiny and black

Open up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

James Dean in that Mercury `49
Junior Johnson runnin’ through the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, Cadillac…
Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin’ alone through the Wisconsin night
You’re my last love you’re my last chance
Don’t let `em take me to the Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, Cadillac…

INTRO:D A D G D

Oh what a love that’ll bind the wounds of a loss
and heal my heart oh what a love to cast away the pain
oh what a love that’ll bear for me the cost
of a brand new start oh what a love
to let me begin again

Oh what a light that’ll brighten up the corners
of a lonely life oh what a light to cast away the rain
oh what a light to remove the gloom of facing the
dark alone oh what a light I believe I can see again

1st CHORUS:I remember the day we walked on the beach
‘till sunset then we sang and the songs we played
were a promise of love that’ll last beyond the grave

Oh what a song learned from the sea
taught slowly to the young oh what a song
to cast away the rain oh what a song
to break the bonds of fear and steal the sound
oh,what a song I believe I can sing again

INSTRUMENTAL (rhythm guitar plays through 1 verse)

2nd CHORUS: I remember the day we met at a place of hope
I took what you gave and the words we’d say
were a promise of love that I’ll honor beyond the grave

Oh what a love that’ll bind the wound of a loss
and heal my heart oh what a love to cast away the rain
oh what a love that’ll bear for me the cost of a brand
new start oh what a love to let me begin again
oh what a love oh what a light oh what a song

OUTRO: G D G D…

We met on the highway, she flagged me down
Had a flat on her Stingray, with nobody around
So I helped her out, she said climb in
So I ditched me old truck just to see where the party would end

We spent the weekend in Reno in a honeymoon suite.
Never saw the casinos, barely took time to eat.
Well I never dreamed she’d take me that far.
But by Sunday that lady had taken a hold of my heart.

Chorus:
It’s just a modern day romance, a new kind of game
With no time to slow dance in the fast lane.
Well I tried to love her without any strings
But a modern day romance has left me some old-fashioned pain

She never said goodbye, just a note by the phone
It said thanks for the good time, but it’s time to move on.
Now I’m out here walking with my thumb in the air
Wondering where she might have gone and why I even care

Chorus

Chorus:
Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
And get up on your high horse, woman
I’ll make it up to you somehow

Moonlit shadow, she starts a trippin’ firelight
Jumpin’ the trees lyin’ across the right of way
Silvery mornin’ it glistens down the valley
But she won’t stop ‘til we ride the night away

Chorus

Blonde braids tangle at the misty break of mornin’
Catchin’ light through a dusty window pane
Lost in lust, in denial of the warnin’
She digs her heels in this stallion’s flank again

Chorus

Chorus 2:
Get up on your high horse, woman
You paid the price, you get to play
Get up on your high horse, woman
You’re gonna ride to the break of day

EEEE A EEE (Use these chords to do the next part)

To the break of day
To the break of day
To the break of day

Change Key to A

Chorus:
Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
Get up on your high horse, woman
I’ll make it up to you somehow
Get up on your high horse, woman
You paid the price, you get to play
Get up on your high horse, woman
You’re gonna ride to the break of day

To the break of day
To the break of day
To the break of day
