Back Home Again Lyrics
I wish I wish upon a star
Wondering where the lost friends are
Some nights I like to pretend
We could light their way back home again
I knew your voice so many years
Your songs are now my souvenirs
They keep your memory in my heart
Thru the days and thru the dark
In dreams..I’m still rolling down the road with you
All around the world and back again
Faces and places so many we have seen
Your soul set the course my treasured friend
One for sorrow two for joy
Makes a man out of a boy
Rest assured we’ll hold you tight
And surround you in our love and light
Traveling down Woodys roads
Opening doors and lightening loads
Singing like you didn’t have to try
With A voice out of the clear blue sky
Bravest thing I’ve ever seen
The night you sang Goodnight Irene
Your wishes all rolled into one
Take care of my only son
In dreams..I’m still rolling down the road with you
All around the world and back again
Faces and places so many we have seen
Your soul set the course my treasured friend
I wish I wish upon a star
Wondering where the lost friends are
Some nights I like to pretend
We could light their way back home again

Floating On A Song Lyrics
Heard you're leaving...moving along
Takin the ball... going home
Wish you’d stay..I still wanna play
We got time for one more song
Speaking for me..and everyone I see
All your pain just feels so wrong
Time's too short ...keeps rolling along
Sure gonna miss you when you're gone
On a bus to St Cloud
There's a face out in the crowd
and a heart you're missing up there
See your Oklahoma home
I know how you love to roam
Find an angel with a prayer
Maybe I’m selfish...maybe I’m scared
Getting dark...too dark to see
Friends been leavin’...disappear like smoke
Maybe the next train’s coming for me
Take a bus to St Cloud
Find a face out in the crowd
and a heart you're missing up there
See your Oklahoma home
Woody's road and Buffalo
Find an angel with a prayer
I Been driving all night long
playing all your songs...singing along
Got this crazy dream...crazy so it seems
You’re just floating....floating....on a song
Hear you calling from across the plains
Words are falling like diamond rain
Voice like velvet, love and pain
That’s how it must remain
That’s how it must remain
Heard you were leaving...had enough of this world
Never be a moment...you're alone
Wish you'd stay...still wanna play
Close your eyes..you're going home
Close your eyes..you’re going home
Close your eyes

Sing A Little Song Lyrics
Jimmy went down...walking on a river road
Wandering round...singing bout a heavy load
Not one worry bout who might hear , No worries at all
Only other sound was a mockingbird call...singin’
Woo woo come a little closer..take a look and see
Whoa whoa singing to the birds and bees
Ooh lah listen to the melody, coming thru the trees
Coo coo sing a little song with me
Jimmy walked on...out into the night aire
Whistling a song...brother didn’t have a care
Not one worry bout who might hear, no worries at all
Echoing the sounds of a mockingbird call...singin’
Woo woo come a little closer..take a look and see
Whoa whoa singing with the birds and the bees
Ooh lah listen to the melody, coming thru the trees
Coo coo sing a little song with me
Singing bout the poor man, old souls
Young girls, and old crows
Red dirt, corn rows....baby can’t ya see
What cha doing to me....?
Morning come around...quiet as the dawn can be
Jimmy sat down...leaning on a big oak tree
Little bird lands on his shoulder, tells everything he knows
Takes to the sky but before he goes...he sings
Woo woo come a little closer..take a look and see
Whoa whoa sing about the birds and the bees
Ooh lah la listen to the melody, coming thru the trees
Coo coo sing a little song with me
