Jesus Is Your Ticket To Heaven, Lost In The Fifties Tonight, Like Children I have Known, Show Her, Smokey Mountain Rain, Snap Your Fingers

"Jesus Is Your Ticket To Heaven"

 


You can buy a ticket to Paris
You can buy a ticket to Rome
You can buy a ticket to Norway
But you can't buy a ticket to that heavenly home
Chorus:
Jesus is your ticket to Heaven
Lord, it's gonna be so nice
Jesus is your ticket to Heaven
He's already paid the price

You can buy a ticket for a boat
You can buy a ticket for a plane
You can buy a ticket for a subway
But you can't buy a ticket for that heavenly train
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
Once you've got your ticket
You don't have to worry 'bout a cancellation
You'll be traveling first class
Go ahead and make your reservation
Repeat Chorus

"Lost In The Fifties Tonight"

Mike Reid/Troy Seals/Fred Parris

Close your eyes, Baby
Follow my heart
Call on the memories
Here in the dark
We'll let the magic
Take us away
Back to the feelings
We shared when they played

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin, hold me tight
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

These precious hours
We know can't survive
But love's all that matters
While the past is alive
Now and for always,
Till time disappears
We'll hold each other
Whenever we hear

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin, hold me tight
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

"Like Children I Have Known"


They're dividing up their playthings
This is yours…this is mine 
They're dividing up the bedroom
With an imaginary line
One is running back to mother 
One just wants to be alone
They will cry and pout and walk out  
Just like children I have known  
Just like children I have known  
Chorus:  
They're not wiser...they're just grown
It's not a chocolate ice cream cone
It's not a doll-house...it's a home  
Just like children I have known  
Almost down to sticks and stones
They'll be lost out on their own 
Just like children I have known  
Just like children I have known
And they're gonna cry their eyes out
Once they find out what they've done
Cause their hearts aren't made of candy
That they eat what the other wants
It could be a happy ending
They don't have to live alone
They could kiss and hug and make up
Just like children I have known  
Just like children I have known  
Repeat Chorus

"Show Her"

Mike Reid

You can tell her that you love her a hundred different ways  
But it won't mean as much as just the right touch  
Just the right time of day
You've got to show her a little each day
Chorus:   
Really show her..you mean what you say
It's not enough just to tell her you love her  
If you want her to know..you've got to let it show  
When her laughter turns to tears  
For reasons she can't explain  
Remember this...that just one kiss is all your love needs to say  
Repeat Chorus  
So if you can't live without her  
You better learn to let her know how you feel  
Just remember that you hold the power  
To tell her all that words can't reveal  
Repeat Chorus

"Smokey Mountain Rain"

Kye Fleming/Dennis Morgan

I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville
I found those bright lights ain't where I belonged
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her
I’ve had a change of dreams, I’m comin’ home
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone

CHORUS
Smoky Mountain rain, it keeps on fallin’
I keep on callin’ her name
Smoky mountain rain, I’ll keep on searchin’
Can’t go on hurtin’ this way
She’s somewhere in the Smoky Mountain rain

I waved a diesel down outside a cafe
He said he was goin’ as far as Gatlinburg
I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold and lonely
I wiped my eyes and told him about her
To find her can you make these big wheels burn

I can’t blame her for lettin’ go
A woman needs someone warm to hold
I feel the rain runnin’ down my face
I’ll find her no matter what it takes

CHORUS

"Snap Your Fingers"

Grady Martin/Alex Zanetis

Snap your fingers, I'll come runnin´
Back to you on bended knee
Snap your fingers,  I'll come runnin´ 
I'll be true, take a chance on me 
Let your light turn green, 
Baby, I've gotta know
Give me some kind of clue, 
Should I stay or go?
Let me love you like a lover,  
That you used to know
Turn the key and let me in through that same old door
Chorus:
I had it, but I lost it
Now I've got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is
I know I got to find my way back in
Snap your fingers, 
Baby, I'll come runnin´
I'll do anything to get back again
repeat chorus:
Snap your fingers, I'll come runnin´ 
I'll do anything to get back again
