I guess I’m traveling, my last mile
Don’t feel like, I’ve got a place to go
Just been here thinkin’, if I got somethin’ in this life to show

Chorus-
But I go through life the best way
And when people ask me how I know
I just tell them my Jesus, told me so
I just tell them my Jesus, told me so

You hear a lot of stories
About the life you’re supposed to live
All the sins you’ve done
The good Lord will forgive

Chorus

Maybe I’m wrong
Nobody knows for sure
But I live my life the old gospel way

Well I guess, I’ll soon be dying
Just like a river, somewhere it stops to flow
But I know I’m right about life
And when people ask me how I know
I just tell them my Jesus, told me so
I just tell them my Jesus, told me so

I just tell them my Jesus, told me so
He’s the only one who really knows
I just tell them my Jesus, told me so
He’s the only one who really knows
I just tell them my Jesus, told me so
I’m gonna look ‘em in the eye
And tell ‘em Lord my Jesus told me so

His name was still on the key tag because the warehouse owner hadn’t changed it yet. Mr. Tucker was a blind piano tuner, who, along with his partner, used the building for their piano business. Please click here to download Love Is A mystery Marshall Tucker Band Mp3

LOVE IS A MYSTERY
(Toy Caldwell)

Yes, I’ll answer your questions
I’ve answered them many times before
The answer is I think I love you
So will you answer these questions of mine?

You see I’ve never been in love before
This is something all new to me
My heart’s feeling something all new inside
I say love is a mystery
Love is a mystery

Am I falling in love with you?
Somehow in my heart I hope I do
Just by knowing it’s me and it’s really you
I’m just falling in love with you
I’m just falling in love with you

I hope you don’t think you’re gonna change my ways
That’s just something I never do
But I’ll do mostly anything
Just to fall in love with you
Just to fall in love with you

Am I falling in love with you?
Somehow in my heart I hope I do
Just by knowing it’s me and it’s really you
I’m just falling in love with you
I’m just falling in love with you

Someone looked at the tag on the key and it said “Marshall Tucker” and it was suggested they call themselves the Marshall Tucker Band, not knowing it was a real person’s name. Because it was time to go to dinner and everyone was hungry they said “sounds great” and the rest is history. Please click here to download If I Could See You One More Time Marshall Tucker Band Mp3

Lord I’ve always been a drifter, seems like I was always passing through
I never met anybody or anything, I just had to come back to you
But the minute I saw you, all my dreams were standing alive
And I would gladly give a hundred of my tomorrows if I could see you just one more time

If I could see you one more time there’s just a few things on my mind
Just a few more things that I’d like to tell ya
If I could see you just one more time

As I travel down the highway, got to be the gypsy in my bones
But I want to see your smiling face, makes a man feel so alone
But you’ve already captured my soul, and slowly you’re invading my mind And I would gladly give a hundred of my tomorrows if I could see you just one more time

If I could see you one more time there’s just a few things on my mind
Just a few more things that I’d like to tell ya
If I could see you just one more time

If I could see you one more time
If I could see you one more time
If I could see you one mroe time…..

I’LL BE LOVING YOU
(Toy Caldwell)

When the morning sun
Melts the morning dew
I’ll be loving you

When the evening sun
Tells me the day is done
I’ll be loving you

CHORUS

And I’ll be loving you
Until my dying days
And I’ll be loving you
Just an old fool set in my ways

Although it seems
That you are in my dreams
I’ll be loving you

Somehow I know
It’s really gotta show
That I’ll be loving you

CHORUS

It won’t mean the same
If you never know my name
Cause I’ll be loving you

When the morning sun
Melts the morning dew
I’ll be loving you

There’s an old blind dude [in Spartanburg] that tunes pianos, and his name is Marshall Tucker… We didn’t name the band after him, but we just kind of liked that name and stuck with it. Please click here to download How Can I Slow Down Marshall Tucker Band  Mp3

I just run ’round like a fool
Stay in trouble all the time
Got put behind bars yeah
Served two years on the county line

Life aint no good at all
behind these county walls
On a cold concrete pedestal
Oh wrote the words to this song

And how can I slow down
When I can’t stop runnin’
My own shadow scares me to death

Got caught in Carolina town
When Woodrough sheriff come around
He caught me in the bed
With the county sheriff’s wife

And how can I slow down
When I can’t stop running
My own shadow scares me to death

I ain’t never been with a woman long enough
For my boots to get old
We’ve been together so long now
They both need resoled

If I ever settle down
You’d be my kind
And it’s a good time for me
To head on down the line

Like to start dreaming about
Tomorrow, today
Never said that I love you
even though its so
Where’s that duffle bag of mine?
It’s time to go

I’m gonna be leaving
At the break of dawn
Wish you could come
But I don’t need no woman taggin along
I’ll sneak out that door
Couldn’t stand to see you cry
I’d stay another year if i saw teardrops in your eyes

Heard it in a love song (3x)

I never had a damn thing, but what I had
I had to leave it behind
You’re the hardest thing

Always something greener on the other side of that hill
I was born a wrangler and a rounder
and I guess I always will

Took my fam’ly away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven’s at the end but so far it’s been hell
And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin’ in the air
Gold in them hills and it’s waitin’ for me there

We were diggin’ and siftin’ from five to five
Sellin’ everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinnin’ was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin’ in the air
Gold in them hills and it’s waitin’ for me there

Dance hall girls were the evenin’ treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns
And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin’ in the air
Gold in them hills and it’s waitin’ for me there

Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn’t save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim

And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin’ in the air
Gold in them hills and it’s waitin’ for me there
Fire on the mountain, lightnin’ in the air
Gold in them hills and it’s waitin’ for me there
Waitin’ for me there

There was a time I dreamed about money
Was a day I feared growing old
Many times have come
When I’m thinking ’bout you, honey
And if you leave me girl
I got nowhere to go

Cause I know, yes, I know
A change is gonna come someday

Do you remember a long, long time ago
You would follow me
All the time
And everywhere I go?

Now I find myself a pot of gold
Living on another name
And what I got to know
Is it still the same?

Cause I know, yes, I know
A change is gonna come someday

I love a Carolina sunset
That’s one thing a man will never forget
It brings heaven a little bit closer to Earth
Makes you feel like what you got
Lord, ain’t it been worth everything we been through together

Taking the good
Taking the bad
Taking whatever

I love to feel the Smoke, the Smoky Mountain breeze
That’s enough to put any man’s mind at ease
You know you ain’t living on borrowed time
Just grab my hand and walk with me to the end of time
And we’ll go through life together

Taking the good
Taking the bad
Taking whatever
