Eyes that look like heaven, lips like sherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
Cause I know that my elvira's mine
So I'm singin'
Elvira, elvira
My heart's on fire elvira
Giddy up oom poppa omm poppa mow mow
Giddy up oom poppa omm poppa mow mow
Heigh-ho silver, away
Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the hungry house cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the love I can
She's gonna jump and holler 'cause I saved up my last two dollars
We're gonna search and find that preacher man
Now I'm a singin'
Elvira, elvira
My heart's on fire elvira
Giddy up oom poppa omm poppa mow mow
Giddy up oom poppa omm poppa mow mow
Heigh-ho silver, away

Ozark Mountain Jubilee
I hear a rooster crowin'
It's a frosty mornin'
I can almost see the sign
Goin' so fast I can't stop
I'm just a stones-throw from Little Rock
Headin' for that Missouri line
Don't need a map to get there
You can get there from anywhere
When you're goin' in your head
I can see the arms outreachin'
Just like the day I was leavin'
It's been oh so many years.
Let me get on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line
Take my time
And see all I can see
Fiddler rosin up your bow
We'll have our own
Ozark Mountain Jubilee
If I can't be a favorite son
I'll be the prodigal one
'Cause I've been gone too long
Oh how the years have flown by
Oh how I've realized
How much of me is gone.
[Chorus]
It's a frosty mornin'
I can almost see the sign
Goin' so fast I can't stop
I'm just a stones-throw from Little Rock
Headin' for that Missouri line
Don't need a map to get there
You can get there from anywhere
When you're goin' in your head
I can see the arms outreachin'
Just like the day I was leavin'
It's been oh so many years.
Let me get on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line
Take my time
And see all I can see
Fiddler rosin up your bow
We'll have our own
Ozark Mountain Jubilee
If I can't be a favorite son
I'll be the prodigal one
'Cause I've been gone too long
Oh how the years have flown by
Oh how I've realized
How much of me is gone.

(I'm Settin') Fancy Free
I'm sitting fancy free, because she was to go
She's tired of loving me, she told me so
I guess she don't know just how much she means to me
But along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even thou I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even thou that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Oh lord you just don't know how it hurts to say goodbye
She did her best to stay I can't say she did not try
I just hope the road she takes leads back to me
So along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even though I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even though that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even thou I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even though that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even though I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even thou that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
She's tired of loving me, she told me so
I guess she don't know just how much she means to me
But along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Yes I'm sitting free even thou I love her still
She'd be no good to me if I held her against her will
Even thou that girl she's the best part of my world
Along with all my dreams I'm sitting fancy-free
Oh lord you just don't know how it hurts to say goodbye

Everyday
You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear.
Let it shine and you just might find
You'll lighten up the load that you bear.
You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do,
Just take that smile into the street
And share it with everybody you meet.

But too often goes unsaid.

It's swallowed up with pride instead.

Thank God For Kids
If it weren't for kids have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids.
We'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
And Kool Aid on the couch
Thank God for kids.
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile.
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to heaven is a child?
Daddy, how does this thing fly?
And a hundred other wheres and whys
I really don't know but I try
Thank God for kids.
When I look down in those trusting eyes
That look to me I realize
There's love that I can't buy
Thank God for kids.
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile.
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to heaven is a child?
When you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for His guiding light
Pray they turn out right.
Thank God for kids.
Mmm, Thank God for kids.
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids.
We'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
And Kool Aid on the couch
Thank God for kids.
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile.
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to heaven is a child?
Daddy, how does this thing fly?
And a hundred other wheres and whys
I really don't know but I try
Thank God for kids.
When I look down in those trusting eyes
That look to me I realize
There's love that I can't buy
Thank God for kids.
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while

Do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to heaven is a child?
When you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for His guiding light
Pray they turn out right.
Thank God for kids.
Mmm, Thank God for kids.

American Made
Seems everything I buy these days
Has got a foreign name
From the kind of car I drive
To my video game
I got a NIKKON camera
A Sony color TV
But the one that I love is from the U.S.A.
And standing next to me.
My baby is American Made
Born and bred in the U.S.A.
From her silky long hair to her sexy long legs
My baby is American Made.
She looks good in her tight blue jeans
She bought in Mexico
And she loves wearing French perfume
Everywhere we go
But when it comes to the lovin' part
One thing is true
My baby's genuine U.S.A.
Red, White, & Blue
My baby is American Made
Born and bred in the U.S.A.
From her silky long hair to her sexy long legs
My baby is American Made.
Has got a foreign name
From the kind of car I drive

Make My Life With You
Here in the day, here in the light
All I can see is you last night
Lit by the moon still by my side
Loving arms open wide.
And the love that comes over me
Is enough to make me stay.
Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.
Some people say it's a dangerous game
I'll take my chances just the same
If love is a game and you are the prize
You standing here is no surprise.
And the love that comes over me
Is enough to make me stay.
Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.
Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.
Is it life lived separately?
Is life all it ought to be?
Oh, if it were up to me
I'd make my life with you.
All I can see is you last night
Lit by the moon still by my side
Loving arms open wide.
And the love that comes over me
Is enough to make me stay.

I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes
Sometimes I feel the wave
Of a past break in my mind
And I know it's gone for good
And it makes me want to cry.
Is this all we get to keep
As the years go rolling by?
Just a memory
For all the days gone by.
Oh you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind.
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive.
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye.
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes.
You try and hold on to the moment
But time won't let you stay
But for every step you take
You lose something on the way.
You can't look forward to tomorrow
And still hold on to yesterday.
Oh I hope that you can hear me
When I'm saying.
Oh you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind.
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive.
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye.
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes.
Oh you're always in my heart (always in my heart)
And you're often on my mind (often on my mind).
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive.
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye.
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes.
No I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes.
Of a past break in my mind
And I know it's gone for good
And it makes me want to cry.
Is this all we get to keep
As the years go rolling by?
Just a memory
For all the days gone by.
Oh you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind.
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive.
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye.
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes.
You try and hold on to the moment
But time won't let you stay
But for every step you take
You lose something on the way.
You can't look forward to tomorrow
And still hold on to yesterday.
Oh I hope that you can hear me
When I'm saying.
Oh you're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind.
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive.
Sometimes it makes me sad
That we never said goodbye.
Well I guess it never hurts
To hurt sometimes.
Oh you're always in my heart (always in my heart)
And you're often on my mind (often on my mind).
I will never let it die
Just as long as I'm alive.
