just outside maggie valley
couple miles from soco road
down a worn out piece of gravel
deep inside the forest fold
i was wandering in the darkness
trying to find a place to land
came upon an abandoned cabin
too damned tired to beat the band, beat the band
in the splinters of the moonlight
gathered wood to build a fire
no time had passed before
those flames were glowing higher
off in the distance came
a howl i'd heard before
first it echoed 'cross the valley
then it cut me to the core, to the core.... to the core
because down in maggie valley
i hear those ghosts calling my name
yeah cause down in maggie valley
i know i'll never be the same
don't know why i was hiding
don't know why i came here
just trying to calm the demons,
trying to disappear
as the fire slowly emberred
and the smoke took on the room
i drifted into darkness
sleep cam on me, not too soon, not too soon
not a moment too soon
because down in maggie valley
i hear those ghosts calling my name
yeah cause down in maggie valley
i know i'll never be the same
yeah, cause down in maggie valley
i hear those ghosts calling my name
yeah cause down in maggie valley
i know i'll never be the same

Love Just Has a Way

well he came from the big apple
with the city in his blood
she was raised in the carolinas
with her boots all caked with mud
he was takin himself a vacation
to get away from the bally-hoo
when he saw her at the end of the bar
and his heart fell with a thud
she'd never met a fella
who talked so fast and clean
he was the dapperest dan in all the land
that she had ever seen
well they drank and talked and flirted all night
until the morning sunshine
they'd fallen in love by the stars up above
and it all felt like a dream
yeah cause love just has a way of sneaking up on you sometimes
swoops right in and steals your heart away
never makes a lick of sense, no reason and no rhyme
you never know if it will go or stay
cause love just has a way
the two love birds they found a little cabin in the woods
they had their ups and had their downs,
did the very best they could
they made themselves a home all nestled in the wildwood forest
came from different worlds but their love unfurled
to a life that sure was good
yeah cause love just has a way of sneaking up on you sometimes
swoops right in and steals your heart away
never makes a lick of sense, no reason and no rhyme
you never know if it will go or stay
oh cause love just has a way of sneaking up on you sometimes
swoops right in and steals your heart away
never makes a lick of sense, no reason and no rhyme
you never know if it will go or stay
cause love just has a way

if you're getting beat up or you're feeling beat down
if your heart's been thrown in the lost and found
you can call on me friend and i'll be by your side
ain't no need to hide, we can turn it around, turn it around
cause sometimes you eat the bar, or it eats you
sometimes you strike em all down, and sometimes it's just a few
and every now and then you land in the gutter along the way
win or lose, you keep on going, keep a rollin' on, rollin' on down the lane
sometimes it feels like
the poor stay poor and the rich get rich
sometimes all you wanna say is ain't life a bitch
for all those times you feel you're on your own
just pick up the phone, and we'll flip that switch
we'll turn on your light and flip that switch
cause sometimes you eat the bar, or it eats you
sometimes you strike em all down, and sometimes it's just a few
and every now and then you land in the gutter along the way
win or lose, you keep on going, keep a rollin' on, rollin' on down the lane
looking for answers in all the wrong places
looks of indifference on everyone's faces
if you just look around you'll see, you've got a friend
no it ain't a dead end,
we're off to the races, off to the races
cause sometimes you eat the bar, or it eats you
sometimes you strike em all down, and sometimes it's just a few
and every now and then you land in the gutter along the way
win or lose, you keep on going, keep a rollin' on, rollin' on down the lane

Wanderin' On

packing up our bags, heading out the door
we'll be hitting the road to a place we ain't never been before
by the time they'll be getting outta bed this morning, we'll be gone
cause it's a big wide world out there
we'll be wanderin' on and a-singin' this song
we'll be taking the train down to new orleans
have us some jambalaya, rice and red beans
gonna hear us some of that
old time brass band marching music, til the dawn
cause it's a big wide world out there
we'll be wanderin' on and a-singin' this song
think we'll hitch a ride, down to mexico
find us a sleepy little town, somewhere along the pacific coast
just a watchin' those waves of crystal blue water
crashing on the beach, all day long
cause it's a big wide world out there
we'll be wanderin' on and a-singin' this song
gonna get us a motorcycle, something fast and lean
make our way to rio de janeiro
learn us to speak a little portuguese
while the drums and dancin' of the samba music
help us get lost, in the amazon
cause it's a big wide world out there
we'll be wanderin' on and a-singin' this song
cause it's a big wide world out there
we'll be wanderin' on and a-singin' this song
cause it's a big wide world out there
we'll be wanderin' on and a-singin' this song

Heading Home

racing toward the sun
gotta get home before it's gone away
day is almost done
blue to black, and then it's yesterday
surrounded on all sides
somber mountain silhouettes
the sky may fall tonight
from all the weight of my regrets
and i suppose
no one really knows
where our troubles seem to go
from the wearies of the road
the leaves are falling now
wind is cold as it takes them away
but i know that somehow
red and gold, they will be back someday
the stars are out tonight
now i feel that i am not alone
and i can feel their light
shine on me as i am heading home
and i suppose
no one really knows
where our troubles seem to go
from the wearies of the road
racing toward the sun
gotta get home before it's gone away
day is almost done
blue to black, and then it's yesterday
