[cassie]

Hey, I'm making my dad a country music CD for his birthday (um...yesterday :D ) Anyways I'm looking for some GOOD country (by male artists) nothing about divorce or cheating.... lol from like the late 80's and early 90's stuff I grew up listening to but don't quite remember. Randy Travis, Clint Black, George Jones..... that kind of stuff. Anyone have any reccomendations. There are a lot of songs out there and I'm not sure which ones are goooood as I am more into newer country. Thanks!

Oh yeah, and I'm particularly looking for this one song it's abuot 2 young kids who run away and get married or something...... by a male artist

Also, I'm partial to Lone Star's No News. Dire Straits "On every Street" has a whole bunch of country songs on it.

Randy Travis-Forever and Ever Amen

Cassie, is this the song you were talkin about?

I read a note my Grandma wrote
Back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat
And he showed it once to me
He said
Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
But I loved your Grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet
And run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter
And this is what it said:

Chorus:
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Until I see you again
I'll be loving you . . .
Love, Me

Verse 2:
I read those words just hours before
my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church
Where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry
In all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

Chorus:
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Until I see you again
I'll be loving you . . .
Love, Me
