I Know Whom I Have Believed

Written by Daniel W. Wittle


I know not why God's wondrous grace
to me he hath made known,
nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
redeemed me for his own.

Refrain:
But I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that he is able
to keep that which I've committed
unto him against that day.

I know not how this saving faith
to me he did impart,
nor how believing in his word
wrought peace within my heart.

(Refrain)

I know not how the Spirit moves,
convincing us of sin,
revealing Jesus through the word,
creating faith in him.

(Refrain)

I know not when my Lord may come,
at night or noonday fair,
nor if I walk the vale with him,
or meet him in the air.

(Refrain)

Can't Keep A Good Man Down

Written by Bob Corbin
Performed by Alabama

I thought it was forever
I thought it would last
I gotta try to make it a page of my past
You didn't even say goodbye when you slammed that door

Now i'm lying here alone in what once was our bed
Trying to forget all the cruel words you said
The radio is playing what once was our favorite song

Enough is enough i won't take anymore
I'm picking myself up off the floor
'cuz you can't keep a good man down

I'm gonna dress up in the finest clothes that i own
And take it to the streets, i won't be lonely for long
I'm gonna put on my best moves on every single woman i see

You thought you could break me
Add me to your list, notch me on your gun
Let me tell you this, i got news for you baby
I don't break that easily

'cuz you can't keep a good man down

I'll be out there on the scene hanging with my friends
This world's gonna see me smiling again
I'm taking some time to erase you from my memory

Don't write me any letters, don't call me on the phone
Don't knock on my door cuz to you i'm not at home
I know there's a woman out there for a man like me

I Like Beer

Written by Tom T. Hall
Performed by Tom T. Hall

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

(Chorus)
I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(He likes beer)

My wife often frowns when we're out on the town
And I'm wearing a suit and a tie
She's sipping vermouth and she thinks I'm uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by

(Chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey's too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love beer
(Yes, he likes beer)

Donde Esta Santa Claus

Written by Parker Grenier
Performed by Straight No Chaser

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Donde esta Santa Claus?
And the toys that he will leave.
Mamacita, oh, where is Santa Claus?
I look for him because it's Christmas Eve.

I know that I should be sleeping,
But maybe he's not far away,
Out of the window I'm peeping,
Hoping to see him in his sleigh.

I hope he won't forget to pack his castinets
And to his reindeer, say,
On perro (Randawg!) On gordo (Fatty!) On verde (Green!) maĆ­z dulce (Sweet Corn!)
Ole! Ole! Ole! cha cha cha.

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Oh! Where is Santa Claus?
It's Christmas Eve.

I know that I should be sleeping,
But maybe he's not far away,
Out of the window I'm peeping,
Hoping to see him in sleigh.

I hope he won't forget to pack his castinets
And to his reindeer, say,
On room (Romeski!) Carne (Turf!) Asada (and Turf!) and Sluggs
Ole! Ole! Ole! cha cha cha.

Mamacita, donde esta Santa Claus?
Oh! Where is Santa Claus?
It's Christmas Eve.
Ole! Ole! Ole!
It's Christmas Eve.
Ole! Ole! Ole!
It's Christmas Eve.
Ole! Ole! Ole! Cha cha cha
Santa, dame un regalo, Por favor

I Love

Happy Birthday my Bear, I love you too!

Written by Tom T. Hall
Performed by Tom T. Hall

I love little baby ducks,
Old pick-up trucks,
Slow movin trains, and rain.

I love little country streams,
Sleep without dreams,
Sunday school in May, and hay.

And I love you too.

I love leaves in the wind,
Pictures of my friends,
Birds of the world, and squirrels.

I love coffee in a cup,
Little fuzzy pups,
Bourbon in a glass, and grass.

And I love you too.

I love honest open smiles,
Kisses from a child,
Tomatoes on a vine, and onions.

I love winners when they cry,
Losers when they try,
Music when it's good, and life.

And I love you too.

Just Another Woman In Love

Written by Wanda Lois Mallette and Parri Ryan
Performed by Anne Murray

I'm strong, I'm sure, I'm in control, a lady with a plan
Believing that life is a neat little package I hold in my hand
I've got it together, they call me "the girl who knows just what to say and do"
Still I fumble and fall, run into the wall, 'cause when it comes to you,

CHORUS
I'm Just another woman in love, a kid out of school
A fire out of control, just another fool
You touch me and I'm weak, I'm a feather in the wind
And I can't wait to feel you touching me again
With you I'm just another woman, just another woman in love

So pardon me if I should stare and tremble like a child
That "wanting you" look all over your face is driving me wild
I'm just what you make me, can't wait 'till you take me and set all my feelin's free
I know that you can, so come be my man, tonight I wanna be

CHORUS X 2 with FADE in middle of the second

Lover Lay Down

Written by Dave Matthews
Performed by Dave Matthews Band

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us too shy
Knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you

Look please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we have dreamed
And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger

A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Oh please
Look please lover lay down
Oh please lover lay down
And you weep
Lover lay down
Cause it's over
Lover lay down
Say lover, say lover, say lover, say lover, say lover
Could I love you
Could you love me (4x)
Darling it's
All the same (4x)
'Til we dance away (4x)
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around
Leading me all around in circles (2x)
Say...

Pay For What You Get

Written by Dave Matthews
Performed by Dave Matthews Band

Work ourselves
Fingers to the bone
Suck the marrow, drain my soul
Pay your dues and your debts
Pay your respects
Everybody tells you
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
Has she really lost her mind?
I said, I couldn't tell you I've lost mine

Words, words, words have you heard
A bird in the hand is much better than
Any number free to wander
Fly away, stay
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
Is she really all she says?
Every body asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you
I'm okay, I'm okay

Surprise, surprise
You pay for what you get
You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing
Has she really lost her?
Everybody asks me how she's doing
Since she went away
I said I couldn't tell you
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay
How are you?

Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get, oh
Pay for what you get
Pay for what you get, oh
Oh

I'm No Stranger To The Rain

Written by Sonny Curtis and Ron Hellard
Performed by Keith Whitley

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I've withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain

But when I get that foggy feeling
The one I'm a feelin' now
If I don't keep my head, I may drown
But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats a hole in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down

I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in hurricanes
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
But I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in hurricanes
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

She's Acting Single, I'm Drinking Doubles

Written by Wayne Carson
Performed by Gary Stewart

I've seen men look at before
And they think, I don't see them
I'd like to think it makes me proud
But, I'm only.. fooling me

I know she'll be lookin' back
The minute I'm not there
While she pours herself on some stranger
I pour myself a drink somewhere

She's acting single
I'm drinking double
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles

My heart is breaking
Like the tiny bubbles
She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles

I know all she plans to do
But I don't know where or when
If I ask who that stranger was
She'll just say, "an old friend"

I'm not weak, I tell myself
I stay because I'm strong
The truth is, I'm not man enough
To stop her from doing me wrong

She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles

My heart is breaking
Like the tiny bubbles
She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles

She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles
