That Lonely Highway 04:55
lyrics
buy track
I walk along that lonely highway. I walk along that dusty trail. I know I'll love you past tomorrow. I know your love will never fail. You know I've always been a dreamer. If you believe your dream'll come true! I've got a feeling 'bout us lately. You know our day is coming soon. Just say a little prayer before you close your eyes at night. Just say a little prayer before you close your eyes goodnight. *When I think of all the lonely people, just wishing that they had a friend, But trying hard to pretend that they don't need love. When I think of this whole world of people and you say you belong to me, I know the Lord has to be watching over our love, over our love. Walk along that lonely highway. Walk along that dusty trail. I've got you walking there beside me. You know my love will never fail. I see you wake up every morning. You rub your eyes and get out of that bed. And sometimes you'll kiss me without warning. Lets me know we can face anything ahead. *Just think of all the lonely people... We walk along that lonely highway... You know I love you, goodnight. Sweet dreams tonight. And don't let the bedbugs bite...

Little Country Town 03:24
lyrics
buy track
There's nothing much to do in this little country town. We shoot a little pool. Won't you lay your money down? And we'll have ourselves some brews as we laugh the hours away. We work real hard, but we know how to play, how to play! I've got myself a lady. Her name is Brenda Sue. And we've been going steady just about a year in June. She likes to take me walking through her daddy's fields of hay. She works real hard, but she knows how to play, how to play! *Wild birds in flight. Seems they're inviting me along. But I'd miss this life. The quiet life's where I belong. The City seems so wild and hectic. You're always on the move. You can't get away from all the busy streets. The endless lines, that aching feeling's, Building up inside you somewhere. You're ready to explode. You don't care about anybody's troubles. You've got your troubles of your own. You wish they'd disappear or go away and leave you home alone, Leave you all alone. There's nothing much to do in this little country town. We shoot a little pool. Won't you lay your money down. And we have ourselves some brews as we laugh the hours away. We work real hard, but we know how to play, how to play!

Over, Said and Done 03:46
lyrics

Won't you tell me that you love me? Can't you tell me how you'll always care? Won't you say how much you need me? *Or is it over, said, and done? Don't we do the things you like to do? I thought we'd only just begun to live our lives. Can't you feel the way I do? Let's just count to ten and start all over. 'Cause Ive got no-one left but you! Won't you say how much you'll miss me? And won't you call me every night at ten? And don't forget you haven't kissed me. *Or is it over, said, and done? Don't we do the things you like to do? I thought we'd only just begun to live our lives. Can't you feel the way I do? Let's just count to ten and start all over. 'Cause I've got no-one left but you! Funny how I never realized. I guess I didn't dare to see the sadness in your eyes. I can't believe we're really over. I'll wake up soon and touch your shoulder. We'll lie there arm in arm and face the dawn. I think of magic moments that we've shared. I think about the times I needed someone and you were there. Just one more try, that's all I'm asking. A love like ours is everlasting. Can't you feel it down deep inside? You know it's wrong! And I know it's wrong! Won't you tell me that you love me? Can't you tell me how much you'll always care? Won't you tell me that you need me? And don't you think we make the perfect pair?

A Little Lonely 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Every day I get a little lonely for the lady I love. I get a bit lonely. Though she's always there for me. And I know she cares for me. Walk my way. 'Cause I get a little lonely for the lady I love. Yes I get a bit lonely. As the sun begins to fade and we're walking in the shade, I know my love will be true. In all my dreams I'm dreaming of you. Just hold me close and picture the view, me loving you. Holding your flowers. Surrounded by friends. Seems like the hours won't end, 'till I have you always, forever and then... We'll swear our love again! Like mariners lost on an island at sea, That's how I'd like us to be. Sharing your love with nobody but me. Now that's the life for me! Like astronauts nearing a faraway star, We're trying to learn where we are. I'm a man. You're a woman. We make things too hard. Better get down to the heart, better get down to the heart. I know your love will be true. In all my dreams I'm dreaming of you. Just hold me close and picture the view,... Every day I get a little lonely for the lady I love. Yes I get a bit lonely. Though she's always there for me, and I know she cares for me.

Love Leads The Way 03:08
lyrics
buy track
And with the rain comes summer winds and like you they lay their magic. Blowing all my cares away when I see your smile, that heavenly face, What am I to do? What am I to say? Is this really love? Are you gonna stay with me through all the years? And the tears we cry are tragic. Living out our destinies in the eyes of the one true lover. We'll see evidence of blindness in the pain we cause unknowing. But let the truth be spoken. Love leads the way we keep on growing. Is it really you? Is it plain to see? I was meant for you and we were meant to be! And with the sun comes another day and the light of life's long journey. And through it all our happiness leads the way to what we're learning. And with the rain comes summer winds and like you they lay their magic. Blowing all my cares away when I see your smile, that heavenly face. What am I to do? What am I to say? Is this really love? Are you gonna stay with me through all the years? And the tears we cry are tragic. Living out our destinies in the eyes of the one true lover. We'll see evidence of blindness in the pain we cause unknowing. But let the truth be spoken. Love leads the way we keep on growing...

Mama Told Me 02:06
lyrics
buy track
Mama hold me. Mama showed me. Mama told me that everything will be alright. Mama listens. Band-aids and kisses. Little mixes of Gummy Bears with raisins light little faces one two three. Chalk-line traces of Emma on our driveway. Three little kittens have lost their mittens. Singing songs and sitting on the front stairs. While blowing bubbles, you've got no troubles. The perfect couple's about to take to air when, Pop goes the weasel makes you scared. You call for Mama and she's always right there. Mama hold me. Mama showed me. Mama told me that everything will be alright. Mama listens. Band-aids and kisses. Little mixes of Gummy Bears with raisins. Yes Mama listens. Band-aids and kisses. Mama wishes love from morning till the day's all gone.

No Matter What 03:25
lyrics

No matter what you may say. No matter what you try to do, I swear to you. No way I'll alter my feelings, my feelings of love! No matter what you may wonder, Now matter how much you think, I'm on the brink, Between the clouds and the thunder, My love is raining on you! Sunrise, sunset. Day by day I've found with love, best believe in your heart. Start to trust your feelings, Though logic's reeling you round and round and round. Round and round and round. No matter how much I love you. The question's not for me, but you. You know I do. So just be sure of your answer. You know the answer's in you. No matter what you may say. No matter what you try to do, I swear to you. No way I'll alter my feelings. No matter what you may wonder. No matter how much you think, I'm on the brink. Between the clouds and the thunder, My love is raining on you! Sunrise, sunset. Day by day I've found with love best believe in your heart. Start to trust your feelings. Though logic's reeling you round and round and round. Round and round and round. No matter how much I love you. The question's not for me, but you. You know I do. So just be sure of your answer. You know the answer's in you.

The Way It Should Be 04:55
lyrics
buy track
We fight for freedom and it will come. The fight for right preserves. With faith in God and our hand become a thousand hands. Our voices shall be heard. 'Cause that's the way it should be. That's our way of life. Who knows what future lies, In store for you and I. Come fight for freedom one and all. Come join our ranks. We'll make room. For all our lives are only just a day away. For all whose blood ran so true. 'Cause that's the way it should be. That's our way of life. Who knows what future lies, In store for you and I. We fight for freedom and it will come. The fight for right preserves. With faith in God our hands become a thousand hands. Our voices shall be heard. 'Cause that's the way it should be. That's our way of life. Who knows what future lies, In store for you and I. That's the way it should be. That's our way of life. Who knows what future lies, In store for you and I.

Leaves of fall, They always drop so gently, Down to earth, Rebirth will come again, As seasons change the page.

about

I wrote most of these songs many years ago, except for Mama Told Me, which I believe I wrote in the spring of 2010. Under Four was written in the summer of 23. I recorded and performed everything in my basement on Garage Band whenever I could get a quiet house to myself.

credits

released August 5, 2013

All songs were written and performed by Dale Mason with the exception of A Little Lonely, in which my wife sang with me. The album cover was photographed by my son, William Beasley.
