SONG LYRICS

Walkin’ and Prayin’ – by Crystal Richardson

In these troubled times people don’t turn to Jesus. They handle things their own way.
When we reach a crossroads He is there to guide us. He’ll show you
which way to walk all you have to do is pray.

Chorus: And just keep walkin’, prayin’, with the good Lord by your side.
Walkin’ and prayin’, on Him you can rely Even when it looks so bad you
don’t know what to do, Just keep walkin’ and prayin’ your way through.

He has given us the tools for times of tribulation. Read your bible every day.
While searching through His word he’ll lead your fingers to solutions.
Trust in Him through faith He’ll lead you on the righteous way.

Chorus

Shout Halleluiah – by Sonya Stead (2009)

When my Savior comes again I will kneel and worship Him. I will shout hallelujah
with the choir, When they sing Amazing Grace I will look upon his face and
I’ll shout halleluiah with the choir.

shall inherit the earth. I will join with my friends when the jubilee
begins and we’ll shout halleluiah with the choir.

Savior comes again , We will see His reign begin And we’ll shout halleluiah with the choir.

glory --- glory halleluiah We’ll shout halleluiah with the choir.

When my Savior comes again will we feel a change within Will we hear
the Father introduce his son? When all the world will shall see that
He’s won the victory, And we’ll shout halleluiah with the choir.

Cause when Jesus comes again He will cleanse the world form sin and the meek
shall inherit the earth. I will join with my friends when the jubilee
begins and we’ll shout halleluiah with the choir.

Cowboy In My Mind – by Crystal Richardson & Gary Richardson

When I was young I loved to play in the mountains by the old home place my friends
and I fought cowboy and Indian wars I knew those mountains proud and old like they
were burned deep in my soul where the trees grew tall and the graceful eagle soars

Chorus: Well now my hair is turning gray, my friends have up and moved away
A parking lot stands where I spent that time. While I can’t go to the past with
memories those days will last I’ll always be that cowboy in my mind.

Colt peacemaker by his side; tin star worn on his chest with pride the Marshall and
his horse ride into the night A dusty trail's his road to fame though the world may
never know his name he stands alone and fights for what is right

Chorus: The wanted man he seeks to find, the woman that he’s left behind The dirt
farm of his dreams he’ll never see. His last thought in the dark of night on a cold
bedroll beneath star light’s His brightest star at home his bride to be.

Sometimes I dream of simple ways like those back in the cowboy days when the
measure of a man was just his word Cowboy stars of the silver screen like Roy and
Tex John Wayne and Gene discouraging words from them were never heard

Chorus: And I dream of days from yesteryear when the only thing we had to fear
was fear itself and the marching forth of time. While I can’t go to the past with
memories those days will last I’ll always be that cowboy in my mind.

 

500 MILES – by Sonya Stead (2008)

It was 1862 in the hot July sun, a young man pledged his name and he backed up his
gun, He headed for the battle where his life would be changed and there the fire rained.

Robert get your gun the battles raging hot, we’ve got to hold the line or surely we’ll be
shot. When the smoke cleared that day, they carried him a way to await a prisoner’s fate.

Chorus
He walked 500 miles from the Carolina hills, 500 miles from his home. And the life
that he knew was fading from his view as the truth kept marching on.

Break

Bridge
Elmira killed more southern boys than any Yankee gun and
few ever walked away from that grave.

Break

Chorus
He was 500 miles from the Carolina hills, 500 miles from his home. And the life that
he knew was fading from his view as the truth kept marching on.

Robert P. survived inside the prison gates; He had to swear allegiance
to the United States. When the war finally ended and the men
were set free he walked to Mebanville.

Modified Chorus
He walked 500 miles to the Carolina hills, 500 miles to his home. And the life that
he knew was coming into view as the truth kept marching on.

Modified Chorus
He walked 500 miles to the Carolina hills, 500 miles to his home. And the life that
he knew was coming into view as the truth kept marching on.

 

Bluegrass Girl – by Sonya Stead (2007)

I’m Carolina born, Carolina bred, when they lay me in the ground, I’ll be Tarheel dead.
But rooted in my heart is the rhythm to my soul with songs from
Jimmy Martin all the way to Bill Monroe.

Chorus
Cause I’m a bluegrass girl, it’s music fills my world, From the mountains
to the cities, or across the ocean wide, No matter where I traveled or
where my body lies, I’m a bluegrass girl.

Interlude

When the music starts to play, my body starts to sway, I thank the Lord
for Bluegrass, it brightens up my day, No matter where I go, no matter
what I do, it’s part of who I am like the red, white and blue.

Cause I’m a bluegrass girl, it’s music fills my world, From the mountains
to the cities, or across the ocean wide, No matter where I traveled or
where my body lies, I’m a bluegrass girl.

Interlude

I’m Carolina born, Carolina bred, when they lay me in the ground,
I’ll be Tarheel dead. But rooted in my heart is the rhythm to my soul
with songs from Dolly Parton all the way to J.D. Crowe.

Chorus
Cause I’m a bluegrass girl, it’s music fills my world, From the mountains
to the cities, or across the ocean wide, No matter where I traveled or
where my body lies, I’m a bluegrass girl.

Yeah I’m a bluegrass girl, it’s music rocks my world. From the mountains
to the cities, underneath Carolina skies, I’m a bluegrass girl.

 

Carolina Kisses – by Missy Pyne (2008)

Suddenly you’re gone from me. Is this my reality? All alone without you
here to hold? The Carolina Sky’s not blue, when I’m here and there’s no you.
The sun won’t shine and I am feeling cold.

Bridge
So I’ll send a little love your way. Hoping for a brighter day.
These will help till you are here to stay.

Chorus
I’ll send you Carolina Kisses and send them through the sky.
Grab ‘em tight don’t ever let them by. I’ll send you Carolina Kisses
and I want you to know, Hold ‘em close don’t ever let them go.
When you feel them near your heart, then you’ll know….

Interlude of “In My Mind I’m Gone to Carolina” (By James Taylor)

Music has no harmony if you’re not here to sing with me. The songs we
sing make my heart feel light. Wish that things were different than
they are. I can’t feel you close when you’re that far.

Chorus Tag
I love you so…(Carolina Kisses). Don’t let me go…(Carolina Kisses).
You need to know… I love you so…(In my mind I’m gone to Carolina).
I love you so.

 

Help My Unbelief – by Sonya Stead (2006)

Who is Jesus? That I should give my life to Him, walk away from my sins.
Who is Jesus? Did He really die for me, on a cross at Calvary? Was He raised from
the tomb on that Easter morn? Does He love me, and should I wait for His return?

Chorus
Help my unbelief, make my faith strong, Lead me to the light, where all truth
comes from. Help me believe, I want to believe.

Who is Jesus? Is he God or just a man, my brother or a friend? Who is Jesus?
Did he make the blind to see, is He reaching out to me? Can I really know without
touching His hands? Are the answers there, I want to understand.

Chorus
Help my unbelief, make my faith strong, Lead me to the light, where all truth
comes from. Help me believe, I want to believe.

Bridge
Let the seed of faith grow in my heart, Let it testify of truth, Let this darkness depart.

Interlude-(chorus)

Now I know Jesus, I’ll give my life to Him. I’ll walk away from sin. I know Jesus,
He really died for me on a cross at Calvary. He was raised from a tomb on
that Easter morn. I know He loves me and I’ll wait for His return.

Chorus
Help my unbelief, make my faith strong, Lead me to the light, where all truth
comes from. Help me believe, I want to believe.

Modified Chorus
Help my unbelief, make my faith strong, Lead me to the light, where all truth
comes from. Help me believe, I want to believe ------ I do believe.

 

Runaway Train – by Sonya Stead (2007)

Runaway Train Runaway Train

I’m on a runaway train racing down the track, It left the station yesterday it ain’t
turning back The engineers throwing on a little more coal-----
The whistles just screaming get out of the road You better watch you
step its out of control It’s a runaway train and it’s raring to go.
Runaway Train Runaway Train

Break ½ break
My honeys been crying - staring at the tracks He wants the train to stop and
bring me back. I told him I was gone, I was gone for good. He doesn’t understand,
I wouldn’t stop if I could. It’s a runaway train, racing down the track
Can you hear the sound of the clickety clack.

Break ½ break

Bridge
You can loose your troubles You can loose you mind Just get on board, leave it all behind.

Break ½ break

Runaway Train, Runaway Train I’m on a runaway train racing down the track,
It left the station yesterday it ain’t turning back
Runaway Train, Runaway Train
Runaway / Runaway / Runaway Train
Runaway Train ----
