Baby, lock the door and turn the light down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby, we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand

[Chorus]
I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man

There's no hurry, don't you worry
We can take our time
Come a little closer, let's go over
What I had in mind

Baby, lock the door and turn the light down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby, we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand

[Chorus]

Ain't nobody ever love nobody
The way that I love you
We're alone now
You don't know how long I've wanted to

Baby, lock the door and turn the light down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby, we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand

[Chorus]

Uptowns got it hustlers
The bowery's got its bums
42nd street got big jim walker
He's a pool shootin' son of a gun
Yeah he's big and dumb as a man can come
But he's stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big jim boss

And they say
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Well outta south alabama come a country boy
He said I'm looking for a man named jim
I am a pool shootin boy
My name is Willie McCoy
But down home they call me slim
Yeah I'm lookin for the king of forty second street
He drivin' a drop top cadillac
And last week he took all my money
And it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back

And everybody say
Jack, don't you know
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Well a hush fell over the pool room
When Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
And when the cutting was done
The only thing that wasn't bloody
Was the souls of the big mans feet
Yeah he was cut in bout a hundred places
And he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They sung a different kinda story
When big Jim hit the floor, uh huh

Now they say
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Now they say
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim

You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire Would you ohold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher If we roll from town to town and never shut it down Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover Would we walk even closer until the trip was over and would it be okay if i didn't know th way If i gave you my hand would you take it and make me the happiest man in the world If i told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea Let me know if you're really a dream I love you so, so would you go with me Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together Could you not look down forever If you were lighter than a feather Oh, and if I set you free would you go with me If i gave you my hand would you take it and make me the happiest man in the world If i told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea Help me tie up the ends of a dream I gotta know, would you go with me I love you so, so would you go with me

I grew up workin' on a farm, way down south
I went to school against my will, way down south
I kissed girls, and I shot squirrels out behind my house
I learned a lot about this world, way down south

I went to church, sang a lot of hymns, way down south
I learned to work on my pickup truck, way down south
I played my guitar under the stars, out behind our house
You will always find my heart, way down south

Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio - talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' passed when I'm cuttin' grass
Wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from way down south
Way down south

Swimmin' in the creek with all my friends, way down south
Prayin' them days would never end, way down south
Give me a worm and a fishin' pole, I'll pull a fish on out
Those memories will never get old, way down south

Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio - talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' passed when I'm cuttin' grass
Wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from way down south
That's the way it's done when you come from way down south
Way down south, way down south
Mmm
Yeah, way on down

I miss you so much
I don't know what to do
Can't bear the thought of
My life without you
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges

Whatever it was
That tore us apart
Can surely be healed
With forgiving hearts
Please baby, lets unburn all our bridges

Tempers were lost
Emotions ran high
Feelings were wounded
On the night of goodbye
We said some things
We didn't mean
That wasn't you baby
That wasn't me

I still love you
I will till I die
And love is much stronger
Than anger or pride
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges

Tempers were lost
Emotions ran high
Feelings were wounded
On the night of goodbye
We said some things
We didn't mean
That wasn't you baby
That wasn't me

I still love you
I will till I die
And love is much stronger
Than anger or pride
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges
Unburn all our bridges
Unburn all our bridges

You talk about your feeling
Sometimes I keep mine to myself
But that doesn't mean your foolish
And you know I don't want anybody else
And you can say I love you
Like hello and goodbye.
Well I don't say it very often
But you know I'll love you till the day I die

That's just the difference
Between a woman and a man
Thank god for that difference
When we both understand
A woman and a man

I turn on like a light bulb
You warm up like an iron
And you might take a little longer
But your into it just as strong as I am

That's just the difference
Between a woman and a man
Thank god for that difference
When we both understand
A woman and a man

A woman and a man
A woman and a man

If you've go a little girl, you'd better take the time
To go to her tea parties and give her a piggyback ride
Be a dragon or a dinosaur every chance you get
'Cause one day you can bet

She'll go on you
Before you can turn around
And it's so lonely watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause this precious little thing that we call time
She'll go on you

Well if you've got a speacial one
You'd better love her everyday
Leave her notes on the 'frigerator door
And send her sweet bouquets
Always be her confidant
A safe place for her to rest
Or that little thing you call your happiness

She'll go on you
Before you can turn around
And it's so lonely watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
Take her in you arms and do her right
Or she'll go on you

Well, if you've got your mama there
You oughta thank her everyday
For nursin' all your colds and
Sittin' up when you'd stay out late
Now all her hair is grey, and every year she's not as strong
One of theese days before too long

She'll go on you
Before you can turn around
And it's so lonely watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
'Cause before you get the chance to say goodbye
She'll go on you

Yeah this precious little thing that we call life
She'll go on you
Yes, she will

Darlin', it seems like the whole world's just turnin' so fast
Everything's changin', and we're just tryin' to keep up
But we've got something special here
Something worth waitin' for
Yeah, we're right on the edge of fallin'
Fallin' in love

No rush, no rush, ain't this world turnin', baby
Fast enough?
Let's slow it on down to just the two of us
No rush

Walkin' (walkin') an' talkin' (talkin')
Dreamin' with you, wonderin' (wonderin')
And tell me, baby, I've been wonderin'
Are you feelin' it too?

No rush, no rush, we've got forever, baby
For catchin' up
Let's lay it on back to the speed of love
No rush

No rush, no rush, ain't this world turnin', baby
Fast enough?
Let's slow it on down to just the two of us
No rush

No rush, no rush, we've got forever, baby
For catchin' up
Let's lay it on back to the speed of love
No rush
Let's slow it on down to just the two of us
No rush

There ain't nothing that can't be done
By me and God
Ain't nobody come in between me and God
One day we'll live together
Where the angels trod
Me and God

Early in the morning talking it over
Me and God
Late at night talking it over
Me and God
You could say we're like two peas in a pod
Me and God

He's my father
He's my friend
The beginning
And the end
He rules the world
With a staff and rod
We're a team
Me and God

I am weak, and he is strong
Me and God
He forgives me when I'm wrong
Me and God
He's the one I lean on
When life gets hard
Me and God

He's my father
He's my friend
The beginning
And the end
He rules the world
With a staff and rod
We're a team
Me and God

He rules the world
With a staff and rod
We're a team
Me and God

We're a team
Me and God

Like any other would be country singin' sensation
I had no visible means of transportation
One Saturday mornin' I was searchin' the ads
When I found one that I wanted, and I wanted it bad
(He found one that he wanted, and he wanted it bad)

I called up the salesmen
He said, 'c'mon in
I've got the Lincoln right here, belonged to Loretta Lynn
The coalminer's daughter used to drive it to town
It's yours for a song and five hundred down.'
(He said, 'it's yours for a song and five hundred down.')

I said, 'Loretta Lynn's Lincoln'
Yeah, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
I had no idea what that dealer was thinkin'
But he toted the note on Loretta Lynn's Lincoln

Well, I throwed my ol' guitar in that big back seat
And I steered her on out on to Dameron Street
Them other cars pulled over like the red sea had parted
It was then I had a vision of Dolly Parton
(Right there, he had a vision of Dolly Parton)

She said, 'ain't that Loretta Lynn's Lincoln?'
Yeah, it's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
She said, 'I thought I recognized them two headlights blinkin'.
I do declare, that there's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln

Dolly said, 'slide over, J Otis, let me take you downtown
Miss Loretta's waitin' for us at the Orchid Lounge.'
I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe my eyes
Why, she was wavin' from the curb, and we drove by
Well, we turned that big rig around, right on a dime
I ain't seen nothin' like that since Red Solvine (Red Solvine)
That's what Loretta was sayin' as she hopped in the back
Then she said, 'hey, Hoss, ain't this my old Cadillac?'
No, ma'am, Miss Loretta, this ain't your Cadillac

It's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln (Loretta)
Yeah, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
(It's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln)
The radio was on, and we was all lipsinkin'
Ridin' 'round Nashville in Loretta Lynn's Lincoln, woo

I heard a tappin' on the window as I woke up
'Neath an old newspaper in my pickup truck
The policeman said, 'boy, you better hit the road, jack
Get that bucket of bolts back across the tracks.'
Officer, this here's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
(And he said) 'son, that ain't Loretta Lynn's Lincoln.'
Yeah, I was wakin' up, and my dreams were sinkin'
Like them ol' springs on Loretta Lynn's Lincoln

Yeah, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln (Loretta, Loretta)
Woo, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
(That is Loretta Lynn's Lincoln)
If you ever get to wonderin' what I was a-dreamin'
I was dreamin' I was ridin' in Loretta Lynn's Lincoln

Well, I grew up wild and free
Walkin' these fields in my barefeet
There wasn't no place I couldn't go
With a .22 rifle and a fishin' pole

[Chorus]
Well, I live in the city, but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home, and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy

When I was young, I remember well
I'd hunt the wild turkey and Bobwhite quail
The river was clear and deep back then
Had fishin' lines tied to the willow limb

[Chorus]

Well, they damned the river, they damned the stream
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees
There's a laundromat and a barbershop
And now the whole meadow is a parking lot

[Chorus x 2]

Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy

There's a long black train
Coming down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying
Tails of sin only evil remains
Watch out brother for that long Black Train

Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there is
Peace the same burn in your ticket for that
Long Black Train

Cause there's victory in the lord I say
Victory in the lord
Cling to the father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long Black Train

There's a engine there on that Long Black Train
Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain
He's just a waitin on your heart to say
Let me ride on that long black train

But you know there's victory in the lord I say
Victory in the lord
Cling to the father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long Black Train

Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good
But I must stay away
That train is a beauty making everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere

But you know there's victory in the lord I say
Victory in the lord
Cling to the father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long Black Train

I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train
Yes watch out brother for that long black train
The devils a ridin that long black train.
