Train Like That
written by Marti Hargrave
1) She was waiting on a package from her Mama one night
The postmaster said the train was late to arrive
A boy was scribbling something in a leather bound book
She was scootching closer to sneak her a look
He pretended not to notice her noticing him
She said my name is Maggie and gave him a grin
Amazed by the image down on the page
Was a twenty second portrait of her own sweet face
She said I've never seen anybody draw like that
Boy you've got an angel guiding your hand
He said, thank you kindly for the compliment
That's why Im leaving town just as fast as I can, she said
Chorus: Ride the train, follow the track
Chase your dreams and don't look back
Oh, I've never known that kind of strength
For fear of what I'd leave behind
So ride boy ride, of you can find, a train like that
2) In a little while they heard the whistle blow
Neither one wanted it to be time to go
He stared out the window up at the train
She said you never even told me your name
He said my name is Tom but it don't matter much
'Cause even though it's late I've got a dream to catch
She let go of his hand as he climbed on up
And blew a little kiss to him for good luck and said
Chorus: Ride the train, follow the track
Chase your dreams and don't look back
Oh, I've never known that kind of strength
For fear of what I'd leave behind
So ride boy ride, of you can find, a train like that
Bridge
As the train pulled away
Maggie had the package in her hands
And as the steam cloud cleared
She took a second glance
And just beyond the tracks, he was standing there
3) Now the picture that he drew of her on that day
Is framed on the mantle upon display
She wakes him every morning with a single kiss
He thinks he never know life could be like this
Maggie's quit her job at the grocery
She's putting final touches on the nursery
And Tom spends his days at the high school gym
Putting on the plays the kids are in and tells them
Chorus: Ride your train, follow the tracks
Chase your dreams and don't look back
But you never know what you left behind
Might just be what you're looking for
At your own front door, you just might find
A train like that
She was waiting on a package from her mama one night
What About You
written by Mary Oyler & Leslie Barker
1) The road's getting rocky and I'm taking the blame
You say I never listen and I always complain
Well maybe that's true, but what about you
Say you're pulling like a train on an uphill track
You're never gonna make it if I ride your back
That could be true, but what about you
Chorus:
What about you, you, you, baby what about you
All the money in the world won't buy back the time you lose
Sweet loving is all we need to have and to hold
(More precious than gold)
Baby I'm workin' hard to save promises we made
The day we said said I do
What about you
2) Dragging home late lookin' for some peace
Never get to touch you till you're sound asleep
You know that won't do, abd what about you
Say you're working like the devil for a rainy day
But baby if it drives you to an early grave
What would I do, and what about you
Chorus:
What about you, you, you, baby what about you
All the money in the world won't buy back the time you lose
Sweet loving is all we need to have and to hold
(More precious than gold)
Baby I'm looking hard to save promises we made
The day we said said I do
What about you
Chorus:
What about you, you, you, baby what about you
All the money in the world won't buy back the time you lose
Sweet loving is all we need to have and to hold
(More precious than gold)
Baby I'm workin' hard to save promises we made
The day we said said I do
What about you
What about you, what about you
Honey what about you
What about you, what about you
Honey what about you
What about you, what about you
Honey what about you
What about you, what about you
Honey what about you
Jenny Mae
written by Leslie Barker & Mary Oyler
1) I was born a poor miner's boy I worked the deep dark caves
Went to church every Sunday, always prayed
But my life took a turn, one day and fateful day
There came a fair young beauty, and her name was Jenny Mae
I learned from her the things of life no righteous man should know
Broke me down, broke my heart and broke my soul
Driven only by desire, I never felt the shame
I'll never be the man I was because of Jenny Mae
Chorus
I set my hand to this confession, when you read it I'll be gone
(I'll be gone)
That girl was my obsession should've never done me wrong
(Done me wrong)
I can never take the blame for the price that I will pay
For the devil was a woman and her name was Jenny Mae
2) Jenny had a thirst for life that only money buys
Gave up everything I had to keep her satisfied
And when all I had was gone with nothing to be sold
I found her with another man and I left their bodies cold
Father don't cry for me for what I've sown I have reaped
Mama pray for the Lord my soul to keep
As darkness overcome me and life slowly slips away
I curse the day I meet that fair young girl named Jenny Mae
Chorus
I set my hand to this confession, when you read it I'll be gone
(I'll be gone)
That girl was obsession should've never done me wrong
(Done me wrong)
I can never take the blame for the price that I will pay
For the devil was a woman and her name was Jenny Mae
For the Devil was a woman and her name was Jenny Mae
Yes the devil was a woman, and her name was Jenny Mae
It Musta Been The Weather
written by Lisa Vig
Leslie: Sometimes your sad
M0ss: Sometimes your blue
Lisa: Sometimes you feel a little mischief too
Greg: Well you can always or at least try to
All: Blame it on the - weather
1) Lisa
I was gettin' cabin fever with so many days of rain
Watching little rivulets running down my window pane
We said that it was over but still I'm feeling blue
I thought it would be easy but I'm really missing you
Chorus
Oh woah ho hey hey now well it musta been the weather
Ooh Lord child it musta been the weather
I'm feeling melancholy 'cause I thought we'd be together
Uh hey hey now well it musta been the weather
2) Moss
Well
Last night was so cold I could see my breath
I said come closer baby or you'll catch your death
I told her we should stay in and snuggle by the fire
And maybe we'd surrender to our intimate desire
Chorus
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
Ooh Lord child it musta been the weather
I tried to make a move, with a slap she said "I never"
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
3) Leslie
Seven in the morning was a hundred and three
I was lying in a puddle like a ball of mercury
Just didn't have the energy to get up out of bed
Figured I would take it easy, hang at home instead
Chorus
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
Ooh Lord child it musta been the weather
Too hot to go to work but the boss he said "you'd better"
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
4) Greg
Well I was feeling down and gloomy and I could'nt figure why
Then I saw the sun behind some gray clouds in the sky
I'm feeling so much better 'cause the skies are getting clear
It's so important now to enjoy it while it's here
Chorus
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
Ooh Lord child it musta been the weather
I'm feeling so darn happy I could float just like a feather
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
5) Lisa
This song is almost over yes I think we're almost through
And there is just one little thing that we would ask of you
Will you lend your voices, sing the chorus to the song
I bet you know the words by now so come on sing along
Chorus
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
Ooh Lord child it musta been the weather
Come on now all join in, we can sing this thing together
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
Ooh Lord child it musta been the weather
I knew it I was right with more voices it sounds better
One, two, three, four
Hey hey now well it musta been the weather
I Don't Wanna Fall In Love
written by Coddy Nuckols
1) I don't wanna fall in love
If you're just going to walk away
I don't wanna fall in love
Love's more to me than just one day
I don't wanna fall in love
And in the morning wake up and you're gone
I don't wanna fall in love
My heart keeps telling me that's wrong
2) I don't wanna kiss your lips
Then hear them telling me goodbye
I don't wanna kiss your lips
If it's only going to make me cry
I don't wanna kiss you lips
Then in he morning catch them in a lie
I don't wanna kiss your lips
'Cause heartache doesn't satisfy
Chorus
So tell me true
Do you care enough to put your heart on the line
Tell me true
Can your love be only mine
3) I don't wanna hold you close
And give you all the warmth in me
I don't wanna hold you close
if tonight is all there'll ever be
I don't wanna hold you close
then in morning wake up all alone
I don't wanna hold you close
If I can't be the only one
Chorus
But if you will stay
Risk your precious heart with me now from this day
We can share a chance at love that rarely comes along
4) Then I'll wanna hold you close
Then I'll wanna kiss your lips
Then I'll wanna fall in love forever
You only have to tell me true
That's all I'll ever ask of you
Then The Rains Came
written by Marti Hargrave
1) I'm addicted to reckless abandon
I see a great divide and I gotta stick my hand in
I'm a free bird that never learned how to fly
I went to school for years but was never taught why
I'm the lump in your throat, I'm the tear in your coat
I'm the telephone call when all you need is a note
Chorus
Then the rains came down on me
And the wind whispered my name and set me free
2) I'm a prisoner of calculated neglect
I'm your fancy way of saying you choose to forget
(Don't forget about me baby)
I'm the burner on the stove that you might have left on
I'm the right turn that you made that was wrong
I'm the words that get stuck, I'm your run out of luck
I'm the ten dollar bill when all you need is a buck
Chorus
Then the rains came down on me
And the wind whispered my name and set me free
Set me free baby
And the rains came, down on me
Then the rains came, down on me
And the wind whispered my name and set me free
(Down on me)
And the rains came
(Down on me)
And the wind whispered my name and set me free
Set me free baby
Outerspace Cowboys
written by Moss Reynolds, Amy Reynolds & Leslie Barker
Chorus
We’re Outerspace Cowboys roundin’ up the stars
Skippin' off the moonbeams, settlin' down on Mars
We we're tired of bein' rounders, till we got that cosmic call
On a clear night you can see us as we’re ridin' ‘round you all
1) Greg
Seems like only yesterday we were hangin’ out at Gillys
Shootin’ pool and ridin’ the bull and eyin’ all of the fillies
We were earth bound till we signed up now we’re headed for the cape
Put down your lonestar, make sure we’re all ship shape
2) Moss
Learnin', testin', findin' out all we need to know
I though gravity zero was like ridin' a bronco
And now the day has come we’re movin' on, we’re headed for the stars
As we begin to settle in, we’ll tell you who we are
Chorus
We’re Outerspace Cowboys roundin’ up the stars
Skippin' off the moonbeams, settlin' down on Mars
We we're tired of being rounders, till we got that cosmic call
On a clear night you can see us as we’re ridin' ‘round you all
Tim: Four
Greg: Three
Moss: Two
Lisa: One
All: Blastoff
3) Lisa
Our silver bullet’s passed the moon
Can’t wait till we touch down and find a Martian buckaroo
We’ll make our ranch in a crater, called the universe jubalee
With a great big sign sayin’ howdee, for all the galaxy to see
4) Tim
In a year or so we’ll have a martian rodeo
A bronc and bull with three red eyes now won’t that be a show
Well round up those space doggies, try and lasso their two heads
Send down for that good time brew or have an astroid beer instead
Chorus
We’re Outerspace Cowboys roundin’ up the stars
Skippin' off the moonbeams, settlin' down on Mars
We were tired of being rounders, till we got that cosmic call
On a clear night you can see us as we’re ridin' ‘round you all
On a clear night you can see us as we’re ridin' ‘round you all
On a clear night you can see us as we’re ridin' ‘round you all
Old Oak Tree
written by Amy Reynolds & Leslie Barker
1) Lisa (The Girl)
The boy he worked my daddy’s fields
Of summer’s green sweet hay
His back so strong as he bucked the bales
His eyes on me all day
Past fields and flowers on moonlit paths
We came to the old oak tree
And he laid me down where the lilies bloomed
And I gave my love for free
Chorus
Tell me where has my lover gone?
Where’s his mother’s broken heart?
Where has my father’s pride brought us all?
To the foot of the old oak tree
2) Greg (The Girl’s Father)
With the harvest done and the hay brought in
At the dance the drink flowed free
Some boy from the fields took my daughter by the waist,
as bold as he could be.
Well I cuffed him hard and I knocked him down
Saying, Don’t think I don’t see --
You’ll leave this place and you’ll never come back
Or sorry you shall be
Chorus
Tell me where has my lover gone?
Where’s his mother’s broken heart?
Where has my father’s pride brought us all?
To the foot of the old oak tree
3) Leslie (The Boy’s Mother)
The night grew dark still my son didn’t come
I watched the candle burn
That girl she gave what she shouldn’t have
Would ever he return?
They found him cold at days first light
And brought him home to me
A knife in his heart for the love that he gave
At the foot of that cursed oak tree
Chorus
Tell me where has my lover gone?
Where’s his mother’s broken heart?
Where has my father’s pride brought us all?
To the foot of the old oak tree
4) Tim (The Girl’s Evil Brother)
I saw my chance at the dance last night
As my sister played the fool
I would have the farm, father’s horses fine
End her lover’s dalliance too
Father sealed his fate when he struck that boy
Though his innocence he claimed
A rich old man with a flint-hard heart
They hanged him just the same
Chorus
Tell me where has my lover gone?
Where’s his mother’s broken heart?
Where has my brother’s greed brought us all?
To the foot of the old oak tree
5) Moss (The Boy – from the grave)
I loved her true she’d soon be my wife
In a place where we could be free
But her brother’s cruel, with a killer’s hand
Now I’m here ‘neath the old oak tree
I sleep and dream in this good dark earth
As she comes to sing to me
Oh to kiss her lips, touch her one more time
Hold the child she bore for me
Chorus
Tell me where has my lover gone?
Where’s his mother’s broken heart?
Where has my brother’s greed brought us all?
To the foot of the old oak tree
Where has my brother’s greed brought us all?
Tell me where has my lover gone
Sleeping underneath the snow
Where’s his mother’s broken heart
Buried with him deep below
New Storm
written by Mary Oyler & Leslie Barker
1) Darlin’, had to wake you
I have something to say, but there’s no easy way
So bear with me, and forgive me
For disturbing your dreams but I’m coming apart at the seams
2) Lately, I’ve been thinking
Of those long sleepless nights and those long endless fights
Now I’m aching, I am breaking
Can you open your heart and keep us from coming apart
Chorus:
Coming apart and losing ground
Are we too late to turn it around
Are you my harbor safe to hide
Or the storm that I won’t survive
3) Darlin’, I won’t keep you
I’m not saying goodbye but I’m telling you why
You will lose me, if you use me
Will you open your heart and keep us from coming apart
Chorus
Coming apart and losing ground
Are we too late to turn it around
Are you my harbor safe to hide
Or the storm that I won’t survive
Bridge
Shattered and helpless I’m turning to you
A light in bad weather, will you guide me through
A new storm is brewing I’m lost and alone
I need your light to get home
Shine on your light lead me home
Chorus
Coming apart and losing ground
Are we too late to turn it around
Are you my harbor safe to hide
Or the storm that I won’t survive
I have no place to hide
You’re the storm that I won’t survive
I Remember
written by Leslie Barker & Mary Oyler
1) You think
I'm still wrapped around your little finger
You think
You say jump and I'll say how high
You forgot you cheating ways, you forgot your lies
You forgot my broken heart, and the sleepless nights I cried
But I remember
2) You said
I'll never find another better
You said
No one else could ever take your place
You forgot somewhere along the line, you lost your soul
You forgot your cruel heart, you forgot your blood runs cold
But I remember
3) And now
You're back 'cause you got nowhere else to go
And now
You’ve lost your job and you’re flat broke
I’ll remind you of the time you stumbled drunk into the house
You took me for every dime I had and laughed at me out loud
Do you remember
I remember
Now remember when I tell you, you're out of my life
It's a brand new day, no more heartache no more strife
Just remember
I remember
I remember
