::Tupelo Honey

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee 
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee 

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee 

You know she's alright 
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel) 

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee 

She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright.....

:: Crazy Love

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song 

Chorus:
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love 

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief 

Chorus:
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight 

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

:: You Move Me

Rememberin' moments, so precious and real
The thought of you, kissing me there
You know my secrets
You know the curve and the line
One touch, and I know you are mine

Rain falls down on me
I can hardly see, for the water in my eyes
Love comes down on me
I can hardly breathe, for the trembling in my thighs
You move me

Repeat All

::You don't know what love is

Until you learn the meaning of the blues
Until you've lost a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurts
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost hearts fears
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste the tears
Lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

(Music)

Do you know how a lost hearts fears
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Ooh, they lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

You don't know what love is

:: Wichita Lineman

I am a lineman for the County
And I drive the main road
Searching in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wire
(I hear you singing in the wire)
I can hear you through the whine
(I can hear you through the whine)
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretched out sound
Won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you
(And I need you more than want you)
And I want you for all time
(And I want you for all time)
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
Still on the line

And I need you more than want you
(And I need you more than want you)
Girl I want you for all time
(And I want you for all time)
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
Still on the line
Still on the line

(I need you
I want you, I want you now
And I'm still on the line
And I'm still on the line
I need you, I want you, I want you, I need you
Still on the line
Still on the line
Stilllllll...)
