Number 3

And time
Time plays with memory:

                                                               WHAT WE'LL BE

She's a dancer
With the life of a mayfly
Born to dance
Then dance no more
The dream
It so propels her
Full heart
So longs to soar

So I'll hold her
And be amazed
And know there's barely time
Til I can think again,
Think I'll follow my heart
To the end of the line.


She flows like liquid
Grace, grace, with ease
As if leaping like an antelope
Were natural as breath
That will end one day
A knee, a quad, a fall
She'll need me then to be there
To pull her dreams from death

So I'll hold her
And be amazed
And know there's barely time
Til I can think again
Think I'll follow my heart
No matter what
Think I'll follow my heart
To the end of time


                                                                             

And laughter
And memory:


                                                           COUNTRY HOLLYWOOD


I started out this business dressed in black
But Johnny Cash already thought of that
Then I saw Porter sing
I said , "That there thing's my thing,"
And I glued on every rhinestone that I could
Plain Folks love me cause I'm Country Hollywood.

My career has took off like a jet
I got a thousand friends I never met
Sure there's been some strife
This here's my third wife
She's the only Blond who ever understood
Plain folks love me cause I'm Country Hollywood

I got laser shows, videos, high tech
A million dollar mike's strung round my neck
I kept the steel guitar
We use it as a bar
We drag it out sometimes to look good
Plain folks love me cause I'm Country Hollywood

My download's burnin' up the charts
Now they want me for them movie parts
I know it might sound weird
But I gotta shave me beard
For a Western remake of "Boyz in the Hood"
Plain folks love me cause I'm Country Hollywood

Now they're talkin' reality shows of me
My truck, my ranch, my seven foot TV
I know how to make 'em feel
I done years of fakin' real
Sometimes these thousand dollar boots don't fit so good
Think plain folks would love me if I give up Hollywood?
Naw, plain folks love me cause I'm Country Hollywood
