God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You | 0 | [Verse 1: Alabama]
Can this be true? Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words how I feel?
My life was complete, I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?
[Pre-Chorus: Alabama]
I never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be, that right here with me
There's an angel, it's a miracle
[Chorus: Alabama & (*NSYNC*)]
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you
(A little more time) I'm sure we do
(Yes he did, baby)
[Verse 2: Alabama]
In all of creation, all things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold when you came in this world
[Pre-Chorus: Alabama]
And I'm trying hard to figure out
Just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile, the heart of a child
It's deep inside, and leaves me purified
[Chorus: Alabama & (*NSYNC*)]
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you
(On you, yes he did, baby) Yes he did
[Pre-Chorus: Alabama]
I never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be, that right here with me
There's an angel, it's a miracle
[Chorus: Alabama & *NSYNC, (*NSYNC)]
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you
God must have spent a little more time on you
(On you, you)
On you
(A little more time)
You, you |
Son | 0 | [Verse 1]
I can't tell you how to live your life
But I would if you let me
I can't see the things you feel inside
But if I try, it's because I love you
[Chorus]
Son
Son
Son
You make me proud, my son
[Verse 2]
I can't tell you when to shine your light
But I might if it gets dark
Sometimes I wish that I had second sight
But it's your life, you play your part
[Chorus]
Son (If it makes you proud)
Son (Sing it out loud)
Son
You make proud, my son
My son
[Verse 3]
I hope I'm half the man that you think i am
I hope you understand how hard (How hard) I tried
To give you everything (I'll give you everything) 'cause you are the world to me
And one day I won't be on this ride
And that's alright (That's alright)
[Bridge]
You make me proud
Do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Yеah, you know it's gonna be alright
Yeah, you know it's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
Son (If it makеs you proud)
Son (Sing it out loud)
Son (If it makes you proud)
You make proud, my son
My son
[Outro]
I can't tell you how to live your life
But I would if you let me
Son |
Coward | 0 | Will my names grown dim?
Will my ship come in?
What kind of rich man would be I?
For today I am a coward
I have fear for what's to come
I've not got the guts to even try
Someday you will be strong
May it carry you on
When the burdens of life upon you fall
And may your ship have ironsides
And may your riches multiply
May you have the strength of mind
To turn from greed
Hold fast to love
Let go of pride
May you ever you be satisfied
Let not your excess hide from those in need |
Shady Grove | 0 | Peaches in the summertime
And apples in the fall
If I can't get the girl I love
I don't want none at all
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd pick on
Wish the girl was mine
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Fly around, my daisy
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Well you nearly drive me crazy
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Oh, lips as red as a blooming rose
And eyes of the prettiest brown
She's the center of my heart
She's the sweetest thing around
Oh, Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
Well I'm bound for Shady Grove |
Run This Town | 0 | [Verse 1]
Streetlights lightin' up a Main Street stretch
A car flies by full of high school kids
There was a time id be right there with them
And a memory flashes through my mind
To the baseball games and Friday nights
We were messin' around, we were up to no good
We were too damn young to be understood
But the hands of time have took control
And pulled us from those days ago
So if you weren't there to see it you should know
[Chorus]
We used to run this town, we used to burn it down
Yeah the whole place stopped when a few good friends threw caution to the wind
You might not know it now, these were our stompin' grounds
Yeah the time flies by and it don't seem to slow down
But we used to run this town, we used to run this town
[Verse 2]
We were the first to know and the last to care
There were rumors about us everywhere
There were things we'd talk about
You couldn't pay us to bring up now
We left our mark on this place
Left some scars we can't erase
And now the faces they've all changed
But they won't forget our names
No they won't forget our names
[Chorus]
We used to run this town, we used to burn it down
Yeah the whole place stopped when a few good friends threw caution to the wind
You might not know it now, these were our stompin' grounds
Yeah the time flies by and it don't seem to slow down
But we used to run this town, we used to run this town
Yeah run this town
[Chorus]
We used to run this town, we used to burn it down
Yeah the whole place stopped when a few good friends threw caution to the wind
You might not know it now, these were our stompin' grounds
Yeah the time flies by and it don't seem to slow down
But we used to run this town, we used to run this town
[Outro]
Yeah the hands of time, can we hit rewind
We used to run this town
No and you can't hide what you left behind
We used to run this town |
For My Womans Love | 0 | Like the first apartment that we had
That bumpy little couch that made into a bed
The shower down the hall and footsteps overhead
She said it's just fine
Times were hard for us for quite awhile
But through those hungry days she faced it with a smile
Not wanting me to know she's carrying my child
She tried to ease my mind
And for my woman's love
For my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above
For my sweet woman's love
Through the years of moving town to town
Still searching for a dream somehow we nevеr found
And wondering if we would evеr settle down
Her love never died
And if I am anything today I owe it
To the love I had along the way
No matter what went wrong no matter come what may
She stood by my side
And for my woman's love
For my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above
For my sweet woman's love
And for my woman's love
For my woman's love
Each day I thank the Lord above
For my sweet woman's love |
Johnstons Motorcar | 0 | As down by Brannigan's corner one morning i did stray
I met another rebel there, this to me he said
"I have orders from our captain to assemble at Dunbar
But how are we to get there without a motorcar?"
"Well Barney dear be of good cheer I'll tell you what we'll do
The British, they are plentiful, the IRA are few
We'll send a wire to Johnston before we walk too far
And we'll give the boys a jolly good ride in Johnston's Motorcar!"
Whеn Doctor Johnston heard the news, soon but on his shoеs
He said the case was urgent, little time to lose
He wore a fancy castor hat, on his breast a star
You could here the din go through Glenfin of Johnston's Motorcar!
But when he reached the railway bridge, the rebels he led there
And he knew the game was up, so "Dammit!" he declared
"I got an English permit to travel near and far!"
"You can stick your pass right up your ass we want your motorcar!"
"What will my loyal brethren say when they here the news?
My car, it's been-a commandeered by the rebels at Dunluce!"
They give me a receipt for it, that's signed by Captain Barr
"When Ireland gets her freedom, boy, you'll get your motorcar!"
They put that car in motion, and filled it to the brim
With guns and bayonetts shining, old Johnston hit his grin
Then Barney hoisted a Sinn Féin flag, buttered like a star
And we gave 3 cheers for the IRA and Johnston's Motorcar! |
Boss of Me | 0 | [Verse 1]
There's a feedback loop going 'round in my head
I can't make it stop, you say I'm going nowhere
You better come on back, girl, don't step out of line
If you don't watch out, you're gonna be a headline
[Verse 2]
My inner native's beating on the jungle drums
I'm restless from the rhythm of the rattle and hum
Something's going through me like a million volts
Then it hit me in the heart just like a lightning bolt
[Chorus]
You're not the boss of me
I'm who I need to be
Got possibilities
And I can finally breathe
You're not the boss of me
No more apologies
You're ancient history
'Cause now I'm free
[Verse 3]
I got this now, what you gonna do?
I'm rolling like a gambler, I got nothing to lose
No job, no man to hold me down
If I got something to say, I'm gonna say it right now
[Chorus]
You're not the boss of me
I'm who I need to be
Got possibilities
And I can finally breathe
You're not the boss of me
No more apologies
You're ancient history
'Cause now I'm free
[Bridge]
No longer on the run
Answer to no one
You're not the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
[Chorus]
You're not the boss of me
I'm who I need to be
Got possibilities
And I can finally breathe
You're not the boss of me
No more apologies
You're ancient history
'Cause now I'm free
(I'm free)
I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
You're not the boss of me |
Silver Run | 0 | [Verse 1]
See that girl with blonde hair
Life's shake wasn't quite fair
Never had a choice but to grow up
Mama wasn't always around
Her blood father's in the ground
She'd crawl before she used it as a crutch
[Chorus]
Silver run, silver lining
A flower growing through asphalt
Yet her roots are twice as strong
Never done always climbing
Been a fighter all along
She's only afraid to fall
In love with me
[Verse 2]
It'd take me half a tank of gas
To run her around and back
County roads ate my tyres to the cords
She cost me a lot of sleep
And the way I used to be
But I'd do it all again and even more
[Chorus]
Silver run, silver lining
A flower growing through asphalt
Yet her roots are twice as strong
Never done always climbing
Been a fighter all along
She's only afraid to fall
In love with me
[Verse 3]
We left home to come here
City lights expose our fears
A county girl at heart you can't deny
I don't care much for the traffic
Isolation is my habit
Find a holler for me to raise up mine
[Chorus]
Silver run, silver lining
A flower growing through asphalt
Yet her roots are twice as strong
Never done always climbing
Been a fighter all along
She's only afraid to fall
In love with me |
Loves The Only Chain | 0 | I can't hold a man like you
I can't hold a man like you
You're as wild and as scared
As a free runnin' stallion
I can't hold a man like you
Some women tried having your baby
Some women tried giving money to you
Some women tried holdig' prayer in your family
Don't women know they can’t hold onto you
Love's the only chain, boy
Oh love's the only chain
Love's the only chain, boy
That can ever hold you
Oh, let them keep their friends and their family
Let them keep all their money
I've got everything I ever needed
Cause love is my chain on you
Love's the only chain, boy...
Love's the only chain, boy... |
Down Below | 0 | [Vocalizations]
[Chorus]
Down below, that's where I'll stay
Down below, 'til my dyin' day
I would stay, but then you'd know
That I was meant for down below
[Verse 1]
Say my name, you'll say
When the Devil cries, he's a lot like me
So darlin', I'll just go to sleep
And I'll go back to the cold, dark deep
[Chorus]
Down below, that's where I'll stay
Down below, 'til my dyin' day
I would stay, but then you'd know
That I was meant for down below
[Vocalizations]
[Verse 2]
Say my name, you'll know
That I live down where even dark won't go
So darlin', now please go to sleep
And dream of me the way I want to be
[Chorus]
Down below, that's where I'll stay
Down below, 'til my dyin' day
I would stay, but then you'd know
That I was meant for down below
[Vocalizations]
[Spoken]
We want; we feel; we come; we steal; we fight
We beg; we kill; we steal; we feel; we lie
[Vocalizations]
[Spoken]
We want; we feel; we come; we steal; we fight
We beg; we kill; we steal; we feel; we lie
[Outro]
Down below, that's where I'll stay |
Hwaii Blus | 0 | I only lie when I'm sleepy, and maybe in those dreams
I only lie when I'm sleepy, and maybe in those dreams
I dream of you, in my bed
I'm staying at the come-on-i-wanna-lay-ya
I'm staying at the come-on-i-wanna-lay-ya
How about you?
Honey milk, honey milk, lay me in the shade
Honey milk, honey milk, lay me in the shade
And tell the sharks to go away
Sugar booger, don't wait to long
Sugar booger, Oh don't you dare wait to long
Its Hawaii, it's Hawaii
That's where it's at, lay your head
It's Hawaii, it's Hawaii
That's where it's at, lay your head in the waves
I'm a turtle for you, I'm a palm leaf
I'm a turtle for you, I'm a palm leaf
I'm something you can eat before you sleep
And I dream inside you
Chocolate milk, chocolate milk
Been sippin' it all night long
Chocolate milk, chocolate milk
Been sippin' it all night long
Belong, lifelong, wheres your sense of right and wrong?
Brazen hussy, layin' at your feet
Brazen hussy, layin' at your feet
Cocoa cavities in my teeth |
Come Tomorrow | 0 | [Verse 1]
Could it be the season's changing
The winds of winter rearranging
All the leaves like falling queens of sorrow
Could be the freezing rain a-falling
Could be sad September calling
Or maybe it's knowing she'll be gone come tomorrow
[Verse 2]
Well, it's strange how many tortured mornings
Fell upon us with no warning
Looking for a smile to beg or borrow
It's over now, there's no returning
A thousand bridges sadly burning
And light the way I'll have to walk alone come tomorrow
[Verse 3]
Well, I guess that no amount of lying
To myself will stop the crying
I guess I have to take things like they are
The facts are plain to see, it's only
That I ain't used to being lonely
Like I'm going to be without you come tomorrow
Come tomorrow |
Country Boy | 0 | [Verse 1]
I'm a country boy
Loving every minute of my life
Just a country boy
Really living out here
I smell the air (air)
Burning as I rake up all the leaves
As goats get up on things
I work hard, I'm easy to please
[Chorus 1]
Admiring the mornings, always feeling like myself
Catching my reflection in the water of the pond
Call me Billy Midnight, always in the same jeans
Losing my mind in the fields tonight (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I'm a country boy
Loving every minute of my life
Just a country boy
Really living out here
And I'm gonna die (peaceful)
In my sleep at 105
Was the fire burning low, woah
And no surprises on the bedside table
[Chorus 2]
Finding love so easy and my family all around
Eating plums in autumn that have fallen on the ground
I could be dreaming but call me Billy anyway
As I disappear into the fields tonight, they're all ablaze
I'm a country boy
[Verse 3]
I'm a country boy
Loving every minute of my life
Just a country boy
Really living out here
You can see it in my eyes (so clear)
At end of day just rocking back and forth
I would be so good to you
Yeah |
I Planted a Tree | 0 | [Verse 1]
I planted a little bitty tree
One day, I hope it's tall as me
Put it in the ground with tender love and care
I'm goin' to watch it grow, I planted a tree
[Chorus]
Plantin' a tree is a fun thing to do
In some time, tall as you
Do what I did, it's really cool
I planted a tree
[Verse 2]
I planted a little bitty tree
It's all the way up to my knee
I give it water, and I give it fertilize
I'm watchin' it grow, I planted a tree
[Chorus]
Plantin' a tree is a fun thing to do
In some time, tall as you
Do what I did, it's really cool
I planted a tree
[Verse 3]
I planted a little bitty tree
Tall as my eyes, I can see
It really grows as it stands there
And it's still growin', I planted a tree
[Chorus]
Plantin' a tree is a fun thing to do
In some time, tall as you
Do what I did, it's really cool
I planted a tree
[Outro]
Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee! |
Only In My Mind | 0 | [Verse 1]
Oh, on a park bench in the middle of July
We sat and watched the children play
If it was the heat or the noise
He didn't have too much to say
Then with a move of his eyes
A move that could have made the wind stand still
He took my hand in his and said the words
That I never will forget
[Chorus]
He said have you ever cheated on me
Has there been someone else
Is there someone you love more than me
Someone you can't forget
If his memory is opened again
Let it be chased away by time
He said have you ever cheated on me
I said only in my mind
[Verse 2]
How can I tell him
The time we spent together
Was time between friends
There's just somethings I can talk about with you
That I can't just talk with him
How can I tell you
That somewhere in the cards it was meant for us to be
Why am I blushing in front of you now
Is it you or the heat
[Chorus]
He said have you ever cheated on me
Has there been someone else
Is there someone you love more than me
Someone you can't forget
If his memory is opened again
Let it be chased away by time
He said have you ever cheated on me
I said only in my mind
[Outro]
Darling, have you ever cheated on me?
And I said only in my mind |
Beginning To End | 0 | I've been walkin' down the same old street
I've been chasin' down the same old dream
Thank god it'was hard
It still beats out loud
And I've been stoned, and I've been wrong
And I sing songs when I'm all alone
It picks me up, when I'm down and (?)
So I got a heart and you got a soul
Some people think, but baby I know
It's a wicked world, we call a home
And I got a dream of all these things
That some people want, but baby I need
{?} , you're not alone
So I've been thinking, I've been healing slowly
Oh I've been thinking, I've been healing slowly
In the end
Oh where do I begin
Wherе do I begin
Record spins and It's playing tunes
And thе pouring rain I've been listening to
It seems to be, the only good news I've heard
And I've been changed and re-arranged
And I've bound gone on a red rail train
Haven't changed is the only damn thing I've learned
So I got a heart and you got a soul
Some people think, but baby I know
It's a wicked world, we call a home
And I got a dream of all these things
That some people want, but baby I need
{?} , you're not alone
So I've been thinking, I've been healing slowly
Oh I've been thinking, I've been healing slowly
In the end
Oh where do I begin
Where do I begin
So I've been thinking, I've been healing slowly
Oh I've been thinking, I've been healing slowly
In the end
Oh where do I begin
Where do I begin |
Brand New Start | 0 | I say I'm sorry
You don't believe me
I'm angry
You are too
You still think I'm trying to prove something by hurting you
I say I'm sorry
Well the truth is I'm not
So take a shot
No one can say I didn't give it all I got
I say I'm lonely
Need you to hold me
But I'm just looking for
The same thing I've been looking for for years
I think I'm finally sure I won't find it here
[Chorus]
So can we leave the last five years out of it
Can we open up our hearts
Can we maybe slow the picture down a bit
I think I need a brand new start
I leave the wreath up on the door
Makes it feel a little morе
Like there's a family hеre
Hell, I might leave it up all year
C'mon honey dry those tears
Take a good look in the mirror
And see what you've been hiding from
I swear the hard part's almost done
[Chorus]
So can we leave the last five years out of it
Can we open up our hearts
Can we maybe slow the picture down a bit
I think I need a brand new start
I think I need a brand new start |
Anarchy Bob at the Mayo Clinic | 0 | Well
It'd warm the heart of a hardened cynic
Anarchy Bob at the Mayo Clinic
Truckin' on with plasma, blood, and sperm
Gotta pack that brain and haul that semen
Anarchy Bob drivin' like a demon
Sayin', "When I've dumped my load, I will return"
Hey, what's this, Madge?
You're soaking in it
He ain't scared of no badge
'Cause he's Anarchy Bob, he don't drive the limit
Don't pitch a roadblock, he'll drive through it
Anarchy Bob haulin' vital fluids
Gotta truck on through to Minnesote
He's haulin' jizz in his Dodge Daytona
For the would-be daddies who can't get boners
The gift of life doth Anarchy Bob tote
Packs up this trunk
Then he must leave
Hey, what's this sticky gunk?
Well, I don't rightly know, but I think it's from Queeve
So when your specimens need deliverin'
Call that boy that's got the head nurse shiverin'
1-800-43-circle A-BOB
Osh Kosh, Neenah, or Green Bay-o
He'll get your fluids to the Mayo
Anarchy Bob's the right slob for the job
Anarchy Bob's the right slob for the job
Anarchy Bob's the right slob for the job
Cha-cha-cha |
Oh Warden | 0 | Working on the coal pile
Busting rocks at night
Working me to death for four cents an hour
An now you know that isn't right
Oh Warden
Have mercy on me please
I'm in this penitentiary
Begging on bended knees
Scrub floors in the day time
Bust rocks by the moon
When I go to the mess hall
Got to eat my meat with a spoon
Oh Warden
Have mercy on me please
I'm in this penitentiary
Begging on bended knees
Boss man says I'm lazy
I try not to frown
I know if I make him angry
He'll knock me down on the ground
Oh Warden
Have mercy on me please
I'm in this penitentiary
Begging on bended knees |
She’s A Mistake I Made | 0 | She came in the door and walked to the bar and I guess my face turned white
I hadn't seen her in a long time and I didn't want to see her tonight
The lady who was sharing the table with me said is that somebody you know
I watched as a stranger bought her a drink and I said you might say so
She's a mistake I made when I was twenty-one
I did a lot of crazy things back when I was young
And I've still got her footprints on my heart and on my mind
She's a mistake I made when I was twenty-one
And twenty-four and twenty-eight and twenty-nine
She thought my heart was a revolving door she came and went as she pleased
For every night I spent in her arms I spent two on my knees
Begging her to stay and live in my world needing her desperately
Look up fool in the dictionary and you'll find a picture of me
She's a mistake I made...
There's no fool like a young fool I've heard 'em say
But I'm not sure that I'm mature enough to walk away even today
She's a mistake I made... |
Without You | 0 | [Verse 1]
Dad sold every record he ever owned
Floyd and Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones
A lifetime of music gone just to get me through
Momma always had her a second job
Gone with the sun until six o’clock
Whatever it took to get by she was gonna do
Didn’t dawn on me back then but now I see
Without them, I wouldn’t be me
[Chorus]
When I’m up here on this stage
The spotlight’s on my face
But I see you
Sure it’s me behind this mic stand
It’s me strumming this Gibson
It’s me they love to give the credit to
But me don’t mean a thing without you
[Verse 2]
You make sacrifices every night and day
Never hear the crowd scream your name
But there’s a smile and a hand to hold when the show is through
I’d give it all up just to keep your love
But you wouldn’t let me because you care too much
About watching me watch my dreams all come true
[Chorus]
When I’m up here on this stage
The spotlight’s on my face
But I see you
Sure it’s me behind this mic stand
It’s me strumming this Gibson
It’s me they love to give the credit to
But me don’t mean a thing without you
[Verse 3]
You worked overtime to buy those tickets
The gas, the beer and the babysitters
Just to spend one night with your baby at a country show
Paid twenty damn dollars for a place to park
Got in line early to grab your spot
So you deserve every word, every line of your favorite tune
[Chorus]
When I’m up here on this stage
The spotlight’s on my face
But I see you
Sure it’s me behind this mic stand
It’s me strumming this Gibson
It’s me they love to give the credit to
I’m just trying to give the credit where credit’s due
Because me don’t mean a thing without you
Without you |
Hope For Me Yet | 0 | [Verse 1]
Girl, I've made a name everybody writes off
An open-road hard case, a honky tonk lost cause
The fate I'm looking at there ain't know way around
A long and lonely path I'm destined to go down
[Chorus]
Yeah, there ain't much of nothing in me
Left to be saved, but, baby, I bet
If you could love somebody like me
There might be hope for me yet
Hope for me yet
[Verse 2]
Always living fast, only thinking short-term
I never could get past a bridge I didn't burn
I'm just a worn-out pair of boots and a beat-up old guitar
A handful of country tunes and a hard-luck kind of heart
[Chorus]
Yeah, there ain't much of nothing in me
Left to be saved, but, baby I bet
If you could love somebody like me
There might be hope for me yet
[Bridge]
Girl, you just might be that outside chance for me
Yeah, you're the one good shot at redemption that I've got
Yeah, there ain't much of nothing in me
Left to be saved, but, baby, I bet
If you could love somebody like me
There might be
[Chorus]
Yeah, there ain't much of nothing in me
Left to be saved, but, baby, I bet
If you could love somebody like me
There might be hope for me yet
Hope for me yet
There's hope for me yet |
Got an Evil Eye | 0 | [Intro]
Mmmm yeah
All right, haha
[Verse 1]
I won't be your chosen one, I'll just be your fire
I won't be your favored son, I'll just be what you desire
I won't be your superman, but I'll be your fear
I won't be your promised land, I'll just be the voice you hear
[Chorus]
Ooo shot, better run and hide
Ooo shot, got an evil eye
Said ooo shot, running out of time
Cuz oohh shot, got an evil eye, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah ,yeah
[Verse 2]
I won't be your saving grace, but I'll be your king
I don't want your love or hate, blood's the only thing I need
I won't be your answered prayer, I'm the reason you pray
So get down on bended knee, and pray to the lord your soul is saved, cause
[Chorus]

Fight for You | 0 | [Verse 1]
I got this silver dollar I carry around
Ever since I found it on the ground
I been cleaning off the dirt
Feels like I'm rubbing off the hurt
And I've been known to raise my voice from time to time
And I don't always know what's going through my mind
Or how to say exactly how I feel
But I know the old me is somewhere inside still
[Chorus]
When I wake up all I think of
Is how to be the best for you
I wanna be a good man a good dad a husband
Cause there's nothing I won't do
To heal these scars and battle wounds
These days I only fight for you
[Verse 2]
I've been trying to leave the soldier me behind
And bе that dad cheering on my girls from the sidelines
Without my back against thе wall always on defense
Focused on the danger instead of focusing on them and
[Chorus]
When I wake up all I think of
Is how to be the best for you
I wanna be a good man a good dad a husband
Cause there's nothing I won't do
To heal these scars and battle wounds
These days I only fight for you
[Bridge]
And I can tell you
How much I love you
Over and over again
But the truth is
It don't do justice
When you're my everything
My beginning and my end
[Chorus]
Every day I wake up all I think of
Is how to be the best for you
I wanna be a good man a good dad a husband
Cause there's nothing I won't do
To heal these scars and battle wounds
These days I only fight for you
To heal these scars and battle wounds
These days I only fight for you |
Time Changes Everything | 0 | There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain
Our hearts beat as one as we had our fun but time changes everything
When you left me my poor heart was broken and our romance seemed all in vain
The dark clouds're gone there's whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Cause time changes everything
Time has passed then I have forgot you yes I have
Mother nature does wonderful things
But I guess that it's true for me and for you cause time changes everything
Oh you change the name of an old song rearrange it and now make it swing
I thought nothing could stop ol' Jerry Lee from loving you but time changes everything
So goodluck to you may God bless you I can't say we won't love again
You have gone your way and ol' Jerry's gonna his cause time has changed everything
I said time has changed everything |
Thatll Never Happen No More | 0 | [Verse 1]
I met a girl at the cabaret, said "Pretty papa i'm goin your way"
Her man know what it all about, waiting at home just to throw me out
Broke my nose split my chin, "Dont let me catch you here again!"
He whipped me from the kitchen back to the door
He beat me with a chair till my head got sore
[Chorus]
That'll never happen no more
That'll never happen no more
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Verse 2]
The wind in chicago winter and fall, it caused me to wear my overalls
Flat broke it was my fault, been used to eating porkchops I'm eating salt
I met a woman in a big mink fur, big fat mouth me followed her
She pulled a gun and she take my dough
I didn't eat my heart out and I didn't get sore
[Chorus]
That'll never happen no more
That'll never happen no more |
Crying in the Mancinos Parking Lot | 0 | There's so many different ways
To make a heart out of your hands
I'm so sorry that I never learned how
And maybe if I had
And I had been less sad
You'd be holding these hands right now
I'm sorry I made you think
That I couldn't feel your love
I made you feel useless
Cause I'm so fucked up
And I couldn't fix it
And neither could you
Nothing either of us said
Could get each other through
So now I'll cry into my Italian Grinder
And I'll save the other half of it for later
And I'll scream into my pillow cause we're not together
Even though it's so pathetic
And I'll grow to regret it
I will scream until my lungs collapse
I will bend until I break my back
Just so I can get some sleep tonight
And I'll fall deep into sickly sweet dreams of you
Wake up feeling saccharine and blue oh
How many nights like this till I get over you
Or until I accept the facts that my life is through
Cause there's so many different ways
To make a heart out of your hands
I'm so sorry that I never learned how
Maybe if I had
And I had been less sad
You'd be holding these hand's right now |
21 Summer | 0 | [Verse 1]
Now and then
I think about you now and then
When I see that Chevrolet
That certain shade of blue
I hear that song, the one we sang all summer long
And even though it's been so long it brings me back
Right back to you
[Chorus]
I hope you find the storm that you were chasing
Hope your eyes are still as full of dreams
As they were that night when you slipped off those cut off jeans
When I hear the sound of high tide thunder
I can see your hair blowing in the breeze
I think about how you and that 21 summer made a man of me
Yeah, you made a man of me
[Verse 2]
How you been?
I'd love to hear 'bout how you've been
You're the only broken heart I've ever had
And love to have again
[Chorus]
I hope you find the storm that you were chasing
Hope your eyes are still as full of dreams
As they were that night when you slipped off those cut off jeans
When I hear the sound of high tide thunder
I can see your hair blowing in the breeze
I think about how you and that 21 summer made a man of me
Yeah, you made a man of me
Yeah, you made a man of me |
Backseats and Burnt CDs | 0 | [Verse 1]
Like a red sunset you can't quite catch up to
You were that for me, girl, I was that for you
And there weren't enough hours in the daylight
Whole summer you never left my side
Just holding you tight
While we were letting loose
[Chorus]
We were Friday night lovers in the parking lot
We were renegades running outta time on the clock
When the headlights died, no, we didn't stop
No, we didn't stop
The heat between you and me got the windows tinted
Girl, one kiss and you had me wishin'
But it was nothing but a teenage dream, never thinking we'd leave
Backseats and burnt CDs
(Backseats and burnt CDs)
[Verse 2]
Think I could have made you stay if we had one more night
Feels like I woke up one day and you weren't mine
I never saw your tail lights in the distance
Girl, all ya left me was your lipstick stain on my windshield, I still get chills
Thinking 'bout those days when
[Chorus]
We were Friday night lovers in the parking lot
We were renegades running outta time on the clock
When the headlights died no, we didn't stop, no, we didn't stop
The heat between you and me got the windows tinted
Girl, one kiss and you had me wishin'
But it was nothing but a teenage dream, never thinking we'd leave
Backseats and burnt CDs
(Backseats and burnt CDs)
[Bridge]
Never saw your tail lights in the distance
Wishin' for one more night when we were living
Givin' you everything in the heat of the July night
We were young, we were free, and so alive
[Chorus]
We were Friday night lovers in the parking lot
We were renegades running outta time on the clock
When the headlights died no, we didn't stop, no, we didn't stop
The heat between you and me got the windows tinted
Girl, one kiss and you had me wishin'
But it was nothing but a teenage dream, never thinking we'd leave
Backseats and burnt CDs (Oh-oh-oh)
Backseats and burnt CDs (Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Outro]
We were livin' for a Friday night
When all we knew to be was young and wild
Sometimes I wonder if you're thinkin' 'bout me
Backseats and burnt CDs |
Eyes for You | 0 | [Verse 1]
Don't look at me now, I've seen this before
Set your eyes on one, drop her dead on the floor
You're handsome and charming
It's almost alarming
Surely a waste of time
[Verse 2]
Hey look at me now, do you see what you did?
You went and you found all the things that I hid
And you brought them to light
With a laugh and a fight
Like a wild and mischievous kid
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Yeah I know your kind
It's just like mine
[Chorus 1]
Hey, look at the trees
How they move in the breeze
How they shine in the light like they do
No I'm not afraid
Of the things that you say
And I'll tell you what you want me to
Well it seems I've got eyes for you
[Verse 2]
The melody moves
On the words that you choose
And you play it alone in the dark
You find me and say
"Hell it's been quite a day
"Do you mind if I sing the low part?"
Yeah you know that I know
The way that this goes
[Chorus 2]
Hey look at the trees
How they move in the breeze
How they dance like the old folks do
No I'm not afraid
Of you running away
Darling, I'm half-expecting you to
Still I've got eyes for you
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Well a loveable [?]
How he can make a fool
Fall for his hook and a line
And he surely can tell
When he wears out his welcome
And moves along, making good time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh I know your kind
And it seems you know mine
[Chorus 3]
Hey look at the leaves
How they dance in the breeze
How they fall and then come back new
No we ain't hit the ground
But we're on our way down
And there ain't a damn thing we can do
Still I've got eyes for you
Still I've got eyes for you
Still I've got eyes for you |
I’m Paying for My Raising | 0 | Well, Junior got his driver's license Thursday
Then he wrecked the family car on Friday night
The baby throws a tantrum, if she don't get her way
Nothing ever seems to ever turn out right
I guess I'm paying for my raising
Like my Mama said I'd do when I was grown
She said, "Gal, you'll pay your dues
Pay 'em well when you have children of your own"
Well, my mama was young when her turned grey
And I'm looking for mine to turn that way
I won't find it amazing
Since I'm paying for my raising
Now my little girl thinks that she is mistreated
When I insist that she hangs up her clothes
Well, I get upset and say things that shouldn't be repeated
And I'm ashamed of a lot of words my baby knows
I guess I'm paying for my raising
Like my Mama said I'd do when I was grown
She said, "Gal, you'll pay your dues
Pay 'em well when you have children of your own"
Well, my mama was young when her turned grey
And I'm looking for mine to turn that way
I won't find it amazing
Since I'm paying for my raising
No, I won't find it amazing
Since I'm paying for my raising |
I Have to Surrender | 0 | [Verse 1]
All of my life, I've fought hard for the things I have wanted
Caught up in blindly believing the strongest survive
But here in your eyes, I see everything
I ever dreamed of and I am afraid
If I rush in, if I move too fast
I just might frighten my one chance away
[Chorus 1]
It's easy to be strong, I've done it for so long
But this time, I have to remember
This time, to get what I want
I have to surrender
[Verse 2]
Here I stand, helplessly willing and waiting for your love
When want became need, my heart had no choice at all
What will you do now, it's up to you now, it's so hard to wait, but I will
God give me wisdom, God give me strength and the courage to simply stand still
[Chorus 1]
It's easy to be strong, I've done it for so long
But this time, I have to remember
This time, to get what I want
I have to surrender
[Bridge]
Here I am, take me
Somehow you saved me
From a lifetime of not being all love could make me
[Chorus 2]
It's easy to be strong, I've done it for so long
But this time, I have to remember
This time, to get what I want
This time I have to be tender
This time, to get what I need
I have to surrender |
Break Up More Often | 0 | [Verse 1]
When you left the other night, I didn't think I'd see you again
It was a hell of a fight, it felt like it was the end
You broke down, we broke up, and we were sayin' it was over
But here I am now, with your head on my shoulder
[Chorus]
If tellin' each other goodbye is gonna lead to a long slow kiss
And if you tearin' out my drive is gonna get us makin' love like this
'Cause it's crazy to think that yesterday we weren't even talkin'
If this is how it's gonna be
Then baby maybe we should break up more often
[Verse 2]
You left the charger by the bed
And that jacket that you always wore
So I shot you that text, said they're sittin' outside on the porch
But last night you showed up, I saw you standin' there at my door
Now that dress you had on is layin' on my floor
[Chorus]
If tellin' each other goodbye is gonna lead to a long slow kiss
And if you tearin' out my drive is gonna get us makin' love like this
'Cause it's crazy to think that yesterday we weren't even talkin'
If this is how it's gonna be
Then baby maybe we should break up more often
[Bridge]
And I don't even know what the fight was even over
But look us now, girl we've never been closer
[Chorus]
If tellin' each other goodbye is gonna lead to a long slow kiss
If you tearin' out my drive is gonna get us makin' love like this
'Cause it's crazy to think that yesterday we weren't even talkin'
If this is how it's gonna be
Then baby maybe we should break up more often
Let's break up more often |
The Great Divide | 0 | It's time for us to settle up and go our seperate ways
No one takes the blame but we both have to pay
Everything that once was ours now is yours or mine
I guess we finally made it across the great divide
And it sure hurts like hell to see you walk away
And there's nothin' I can do to make you want to stay
No one but you and I can know how hard we tried
There's no turnin' back, we've crossed the great divide
Now we're standing in the doorway of a house we made a home
And it seems so cold and empty now that all our love is gone
We take one last look together before we say goodbye
Since we finally made it across the great divide
And it sure hurts like hell to see you walk away
And there's nothin' I can do to make you want to stay
No one but you and I can know how hard we tried
There's no turnin' back, we've crossed the great divide
There's just no turnin' back, we've crossed the great divide |
I Dont Wanna Take Anything From You | 0 | Why don't you look up once in a while?
The sky is bright, the time is here
Why don't you call him just to say hello?
Oh, the light was right, we all thought so
I don't want to take anything from you
I want to see you living
I want to see you through
You waited on that plane
You waited all night
This place looks immaculate at four in the morning
I need to go deeper than that
Sometimes I look at you
Think that I love you
No man will ever fall for that
I don't want to take anything from you
I want to see you living
I want to see you through
Feeling nostalgia down to my bones
Walking around the place that I called my home
And isn't it amazing how the heart is changing?
Oh, oh
I don't want to take anything from you
I want to see you living
I want to see you through
Why don't you look up once in a while?
Oh, the sky is bright, the time is here
Why don't you call him just to say hello?
Oh, the light was right, we all thought so |
She Did It | 0 | [Verse 1]
She did it for freedom
She did it for justice
She did it for love
To awaken the gutless
She did it for the blind
She did it for the blinded
While you're losing time
She did it to find it
She did it for God
She did it for the Goddess
Because we're flawed
She did it for the forest
She did it for reason
She did it for logic
She did it for hope
She was feeling nostalgic
She did it for the dream
She did it for knowledge
For the thing shе's seen
She gave it a context
[Chorus]
Always fighting, fighting, fighting with thе world
Sick of fighting, fighting, fighting with the world
Always fighting, fighting, fighting for the world
Always fighting, fighting, fighting
Fighting, fighting, fighting for the girl
[Verse 2]
Let it breathe
Open the bodice
She's on her knees
And you're looking to profit
You were born
Now your life is a conquest
Who gave you an idea
When you hadn't the faintest?
You hadn't a clue
Why your life was so love-locked
They made a prison of you
Put bleach in the brainwash
So get out quick
Whilst the boy's in there
Listen to the girl
Let go of your doubts
This is real
It's a beautiful world
Love is deep
Listen to the girl
[Chorus]
Always fighting, fighting, fighting with the world
Sick of fighting, fighting, fighting with the world
Always fighting, fighting, fighting for the world
Always fighting, fighting, fighting
Fighting, fighting, fighting
Fighting, fighting, fighting with the world
Sick of fighting, fighting, fighting with the world
Always fighting, fighting, fighting with the world
Always fighting, fighting, fighting
Fighting, fighting, fighting for the girl |
One Bridge I Didnt Burn | 0 | I know how long it's been
So, if I can't come in
Then let me just talk to you through the door
I'm a man without a place
Lost, and lookin' for a trace
Of the warm and tender love we had before
I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn
This river looks so wide
Standing on the lonely side
And, wishing I could be back home again
I'd do anything at all
Just to find a way across
And, to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been
I closed every door behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road
That leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn |
A Good Understanding | 0 | [Verse 1]
When we married we agreed that we'd both do as we please
Just as long as we done each other right
Through the years our love has grown now our love is twice as strong
'Cause we've got a good understanding
[Chorus]
Yes, we've got a good understanding and a love that has never been demanding
We both love each other so and that's all we need to know
'Cause we've got a good understanding
[Verse 2]
It's been your unselfish love that has always helped me up
When temptation reached out its hand to see
And when I could have gone wrong I would think of you at home
And I'd think about our good understanding
[Chorus]
Yes, we've got a good understanding and a love that has never been demanding
We both love each other so and that's all we need to know
'Cause we've got a good understanding |
In the Pines | 0 | In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold winds blow
My love, my love, what have I done
To make you treat me so?
You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn
You've caused me to lose my home
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold winds blow
The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
The caboose went by at nine
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold winds blow
It's long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home
In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold winds blow
Hoo hoo hoo hoo |
Lungs | 0 | Now won't you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing
Plant my feet and bitterly breathe up the time that's passing
Breath I take and breath I give, pray the day ain't poison
Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision
My fingers walked the darkness down, mind is on the midnight
Gather up the gold you've found, you fool, it's only moonlight
If you try to take it home, your hands will turn to butter
You better leave this dream alone, try to find another
Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf, who'll kill the raging cancer?
Seal the river at its mouth, take the waters prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries, bathe in fiery answer
Now Jesus was an only son and love His only concept
Strangers cry in foreign tongues and dirty up the doorstep
And I for one, and you for two, ain't got the time for outside
Keep your injured looks to you, tell the world we tried |
It Only Rains On Me | 0 | [Verse 1]
I know all about black clouds
There's one that follows me around
It may sound funny, but somehow
It only rains on me
It follows me 'most everywhere
And it seems it's hardly fair
People will stop and people stare
But it only rains on me
[Chorus]
Broken dreams and drowned parades
Lovers who just slip away
Guess I've learned to live that way
It only rains on me
Seems to me, there was a time
It used to rain on friends of mine
Now I look around and find
It only rains on me
[Verse 2]
I'll bet this won't hurt you much
You'll find someone soon enough
I'm the one that loses in love
It only rains on me
It's time we said goodbye and so
I'll just take my cloud and go
Don't worry, you'll forget I know
It only rains on me
[Chorus]
Broken dreams and drowned parades
Lovers who just slip away
Guess I've learned to live that way
It only rains on me
Seems to me, there was a time
It used to rain on friends of mine
Now I look around and find
It only rains on me

Twilight On the Trail | 0 | [Verse 1]
When it's twilight on the trail
And I jog along
The world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream is my song
(And the ripple of the stream is my song)
[Verse 2]
When it's twilight on the trail
And I rest once more
My ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor
(And the grass on which I lie is my floor)
[Verse 3]
Never ever have a nickel in my jeans
Never ever have a debt to pay
Still I understand what real contentment means
Guеss I was born that way
[Verse 4]
When it's twilight on the trail
And my voice is still
Plеase plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill
(Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill)
[Verse 5]
(When it's twilight on the trail)
(And my voice is still)
Please plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill
(Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill) |
Its Not Love But Its Not Bad | 0 | [Verse 1]
She was always there each time I needed you
Holding on to me like I held on to you
We still don't have what you and I once had
No, it’s not love, but it's not bad
[Chorus]
No, it's not love, not like ours was
It’s not love, but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who she's had
No, it's not love, but it's not bad
[Verse 2]
I turn to her when you leave me alone
Sometimes even when you're here, and you're still gone
She's slowly changing what you leave so sad
No, it’s not love, but it’s not bad
[Chorus]
No, it's not love, not like ours was
It’s not love, but it keeps love from driving me mad
And I don't have to wonder who she's had
No, it's not love, but it’s not bad |
Wolves | 0 | Dark skies ahead, hard times behind
I may be losing my mind
But there ain’t nothing to fear
But what I’ve lost dear
Darlin’ beware what you find
I could’ve swore I couldn’t take any more
Stuck ink, and I drink towards the end
On and on, on and on
Til the great hoop wheels again
So let the cold wind carry me home
May the northstar always show
A little love in my hands
Well, I can’t understand
How I could ever ask for more
I could ever ask for more
Feels like full time work staying over the dirt
Praying for those who’ve gone on
Someday, sometime, my soul will fly
And I’ll see them all down the line
If only my arms could keep you from harm
And my hands keep the wolves from the door
But there ain’t nothing to do
But see this life through
There’s no steering clear of the storm
So let the cold wind carry me home
May the northstar always show
A little love in my hands
Well, I can’t understand
How I could ever ask for more
I could ever ask for more
May the cold wind carry me home
May the northstar always show |
Better Than Me | 0 | [Verse 1]
Could Carolina coastline, chilling glass of red wine
Or California dreaming, just soaking up the sunshine
Hopefully you're somewhere doing better than me
You might be Mississippi moonlight or
Alabama star shining down on you
Baby, on the hood of some Chevy
Yeah, hopefully you’re somewhere doing better than me
Yeah, you're somewhere doing better than me
[Chorus]
If you can sing along when they're playing our song
With no tears in your eyes
No breaking down crying on the side of the road
And if you’re moving on, if you can sleep it off
Then, baby, you better believe, better believe
You're doing better than me, better than me
[Verse 2]
You could be tearing down a two lane
Not a lotta in between
You and him, getting close holding hands
Yeah, hopefully he'll treat you better than me
Yeah, he'll treat you better than me
[Chorus]
If you can sing along when they're playing our song
With no tears in your eyes
No breaking down crying on the side of the road
And if you're moving on, if you can sleep it off
Then, baby, you better believe, better believe
You're doing better than me, better than me
If you can sing along when they're playing our song
With no tears in your eyes
No breaking down crying on the side of the road
And if you’re moving on, yeah, if you can sleep it off
Then you better believe, better believe
You’re doing better than me, better than me
Yeah, you better believe, better believe
You're doing better than me, better than me
[Outro]
Yeah, you’re doing better than me, better than me
Yeah, I hope you're better than me |

Did you read the front of the newspapers today?
A fuck-load of nazi ran a riot in the USA:
Forgetting exactly what our grandfathers fought for
And tempting the oncoming prospect of war
And honestly it just makes me feel really sad
Because nothing ever changes
And people are going mad
And we've all got to remember to love everyone
Because how else do you expect to make life any fun?
[Chorus]
So, fuck the nazis of Charlottesville
Oh, fuck them all to hell
Because we don't need your racist ideology
So fuck your president as well
[Verse 2]
And Donny Trump's cock may be abnormally small
But it's orange, which is pretty fucking individual
And Kim Jong may reckon that his is larger
Well fuck I guess we better get out the tape measure
And then suddenly we're on the brink of nuclear war
And no one can remember what it all started for
Just two blokes with really low self-esteem
But somehow still married to a beauty queen
[Chorus]
So I say, fuck the hatred in the world
Oh, fuck it all to hell
Because I find that love makes everything brighter
So love your neighbors as well
[Verse 3]
Well every now and then you need to learn to look back and laugh
And just remember that we're all sinking on the same shaky raft
Yeah, everybody fails and everyone succeeds
So yeah, everybody cries and everyone bleeds
[Bridge]
So don't be afraid to shed a tear
No, don't be embarrassed to share your fears
Because we're all only human and we're all only small
And in this huge universe we don't really matter at all
[Chorus]
So, fuck anybody who puts you down
Yeah, fuck them back to hell
Because you're just as important as are your parents were before you
And you're fucking beautiful as well
And I say: fuck the nazis of Charlottesville
Oh, fuck them back to hell
Because if everyone had a chance at life regardless if they're black or white
Then wouldn't this life be so swell? |
Thats What I Like About The West | 0 | Now a fella asked me the other day
What I liked about the West?
So I got together my arguments just to prove it's the best
I called the Mayor, the chief of police
And even the Governors home
To get the facts to back me up
And here's what they said on the phone
We got buffalo, deer, t-bone steaks, fruits, fish, and fowl
Wine and grapes, figs and dates, a chamber of commerce smile
Liquid sunshine, legal moonshine, Reno, Frisco, Tahoe
Man you name it and if we ain't got it
We'll get it
(That's what I like about the West)
(That's what I like about the West)
You can prove that you're a man
Drinkin' fruit juice from a can
(Ride em cowboy ride that pony West)
You can take a gal to the picture show
But the place to build morale
Is to take her for a moonlight stroll behind the old corral
Things down there are rootin' and tootin'
There's fightin', fuedin', and stuff
A prowlin' stranger could cause a shootin'
Cause enough of a thing's enough!
I met a gal at a rodeo and we took a ride that night
We saw a stack of new-mown hay
Man you can see my plight
She said let's sit
We smurred and purred and finally to top it off
I got myself a mate for life man I just couldn't help myself
(That's what I like about the West)
(That's what I like about the West)
Steal a gal and they're on the loose
Steal a horse you get the noose
(Ride em cowboy ride that pony)
Ride em cowboy ride that pony
(Ride em cowboy ride that pony West)
Ride em cowboy ride that pony West
(West)

Better Left Unsaid | 0 | Yer under my skin
Driving me crazy
How Long will I be with you?
May be a sin
Maybe I'm lazy
Could it be that yer in love with me?
I am a blessing and a curse
Yer situation could be worse
I'm hearing voices in my head
Some things are better left unsaid
You make me mad n I don't mean angry
My wild eyes are bugging outta my head
I will be glad right after you murder me
Even though the Devil gets my soul
[Chorus]
I'm gonna fly right up outta my easy chair
I'm gonna spank yer little bottom hard
I guarantee it's gonna sting like hеll
N hurt you a lot more than it will me |
Kiss Her | 0 | [Verse 1]
It’s been a while
Since she felt this kinda way
Just look at her smile
Saying the things she can’t say
She’s biting her lip now
Your hands on her hip now
There's only one more move for you left to make
[Chorus]
Shut up and kiss her
You’re thinking too much
Turn off the whisper
And just feel the rush
Get lost in the moment
Own it, feels right don’t it
Whatcha waiting for? It's all in your head
Shut up and kiss her
[Verse 2]
So don’t overthink it
Cause you been holding back too long
Go on and get it
She’s got it written on the walls
Quit making excuses
Like you don't normally do this
You got nothing to lose
So what could go wrong
[Chorus]
Shut up and kiss her
You’re thinking too much
Turn off the whisper
And just feel thе rush
Get lost in the moment
Own it, feels right don’t it
Whatcha waiting for? It's all in your hеad
Shut up and kiss her
Shut up and kiss her
[Bridge]
Don’t complicate it, don't keep her waiting
Don’t complicate it, quit hesitating
Don’t complicate it, don't keep her waiting
Lord knows she’s waiting on you
[Outro]
Shut up and kiss her
You’re thinking too much
Turn off the whisper
And just feel the rush
Shut up and kiss her
You’re thinking too much
Turn off the whisper
And just feel the rush
Get lost in the moment
Own it, feels right don’t it
Whatcha waiting for? It's all in your head
Shut up and kiss her
Shut up and kiss her
Shut up and kiss her
Shut up and kiss her
Kiss her, kiss her |
Pause | 0 | [Verse 1]
They say when you get older
You get caught up in the past
You don't keep moving forward
Instead you make the old days last
Some of the smartest folks I know
Are some of the oldest I know too
So I don't know if that is the case
But in case it is true
[Chorus]
Let me hold you
In that moment when life pauses
Let it unfold and ring true
Let me forget about the losses
And let me think that I'm with you
[Verse 2]
They say when you grow up
You leave your childish dreams behind
Reality strikes hard
And in reality you find
That life was never what
The movies showed you as a kid
Don't know if I did my best by you
But in case I did
[Chorus]
Let me hold you
In that moment when life pauses
Let it unfold and ring true
Let me forget about the losses
And let me think that I'm with you
[Verse 3]
They say when you grow older
You stop dreaming of a place
Where two people melt together
And there is no time or space
Well, I am getting older
And I'm dreaming of it still
Don't know if you'll share my dream
But in case you will
[Chorus]
Let me hold you
In that moment when life pauses
Let it unfold and ring true
Let me forget about the losses
And let me think that I'm with you
Let me forget about the losses
But let me remember you |
Alabama Bound | 0 | [BANANA FACTORY WORKER]
He's Alabama-bound with a load of bananas
Headin' south across the Mason-Dixon line
Then he's haulin' pineapples to Gary, Indiana
Gotta burn some rubber, make that highway whine!
He's a mobile mammal and I bet you a fiver
He's eatin' hush puppies and corn on the cob
He's a semi-aquatic semi driver
A full-time agent with a part-time job!
Aw yeah, I'll bet you a fiver!
That there's a mobile mammal!
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh! Woo! |
Funny Bone | 0 | [Verse 1]
Well, he used to be a pretty good rodeo clown
People loved to watch him horse around
When that rank black bucked them all down
He was a pretty good rodeo clown
Until he met the gal who sold the souvenirs
He could make her smile from ear to ear
They stayed up all night drinking rodeo beer
He was a pretty good rodeo clown
[Chorus]
He don't laugh much anymore
Since she locked her trailer door
Tears and grease paint will not mix
And old dogs will not learn new tricks
He's got that smile painted on
Nobody knows something's wrong
She broke his funny bone
Broke his funny bone
[Verse 2]
When that new young bull rider came on the circuit
Oh in about, eight seconds flat she was gone
Now he asks himself if she was worth it
You can hide your heart in a barrel for just so long
[Chorus] |
The Pain of Loving You | 0 | [Chorus]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you
[Verse 1]
You just can't stand to see me happy
Seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go loving you
But I never understand
[Chorus]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you
[Verse 2]
To love and hate at the same time
The line between the two is fine
The two have bounce me heart and soul
So strong that I can’t let you go
[Chorus]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you |
Cursed To Wander | 0 | [Verse 1]
I don't even know where to start
Five years away from the place that I wanted
I, I'm still standing
Hard to even know what to say
I'm having trouble putting these words on paper
I, I, I'm still moving
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I could tell you about my time in California
How I still miss the feel of the waves, wash my tears out
[Chorus]
No, I can't put on a face when I'm talking to myself
I thought I'd die by now but somehow I'm getting stronger
No, I can't settle for this if I'm lying to myself
Instead of wasting time I guess I'm cursed to wander
[Verse 2]
I can't believe I got this far
And I can't believe I kept my car
All, all these miles
Who knows what's to come?
I'm having trouble staying in love
But I, I'll keep falling
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I could tell you about that time that I broke down
On the side of 65 on the day that I moved out
[Chorus]
No, I can't put on a face when I'm talking to myself
I thought I'd die by now but somehow I'm getting stronger
No, I can't settle for this if I'm lying to myself
Instead of wasting time I guess I'm cursed to wander
[Bridge]
Heaven knows where I'll be headed as long as I can keep my nerve
Heaven knows if I'll be better, damned if I can make things worse
'Cause I'm still leaving
'Cause I don't need it
[Verse 3]
I thought maybe if I called the shots
It might not feel like I lost
But I, I'm still so low
So until I get what I want
Gone's the only thing I got
But I, I'm still standing |
Busted | 0 | [Verse]
My bills are all due and the babies need shoes
But I'm Busted
Cotton's gone down to a quarter a pound
And I'm Busted
I got a cow that's gone dry
And a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills
Getting bigger each day
The county's going to haul my belongings away
But I'm Busted
So I called on my brother to ask for a loan
Because I was Busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
But I'm Busted
My brother said, "there's not a thing I can do
My wife and my kids
Are all down with the flu
And I was just thinking about calling on you
Because I'm Busted
Lord, I am not no thief, but a man can go wrong
When he's Busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone
But I'm Busted
Now the fields are all bare
And the cotton won't grow
Me and my family's got to pack up and go
But I'll make a living, just where, I don't know
Because I'm Busted |
O Holy Night | 0 | [Verse 1]
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appears and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O Holy night, O night divine!
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O Holy night, O night divine
Night divinе |
The Wild Side Of Life | 0 | [Verse 1]
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
[Chorus]
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life
[Verse 2]
The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows
Where you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
[Chorus]
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to the wild side of life |
Fool Somebody Else | 0 | Same old situation coming back again
And I suppose it's been the fate of many, many men
I tried and tried and tried and tried to please that girl
Oh, but I found out it simply does not end
Fool somebody else
Do it to yourself, mama, tell me how it feels
When you hold somebody tight
Just to see 'em go in the middle of the night
Would you give up all your love
If you already knew it would never be enough?
Put my heart back on the shelf
Why don't you fool somebody else?
Here we go again, we've reached the bitter, bitter end
And there's no more light, I lost my bestest precious friend
You tried, I lied, we cried about anything at all
And I still found out I'm never gonna win
Fool somebody else
Do it to yourself, mama, like you're doing it to me
Hold somebody close
Knowing very well that they're just about to leave
Trust 'em with your heart
Even though you know they'd betray you from the start
Fool somebody else
'Cause what you're doing ain't good for my health
Fool somebody else
Do it to yourself, mama, tell me how it feels
When you hold somebody tight
Just to see 'em go in the middle of the night
Would you give up all your love
If you already knew it would never be enough?
Put my heart back on the shelf
Why don't you fool somebody else? |
Touch Me When Were Dancing | 0 | [Verse 1]
Play us a song we can slow dance on
We want to hold each other
Play us a groove so we hardly move
Just let our hearts be together
Oh baby, 'cause it feels so good
When we're close like this
Whisper in my ear and let me steal a kiss
[Chorus]
Come on and touch me when we're dancin'
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh oh touch me when we're dancin'
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love
[Verse 2]
Tonight's the night and it feels so right
What my heart's saying to me
You're the one and I've waited so long
So let your love flow thru me
Oh baby cause it feels so good we can be this close
You got me up so high
I could fly coast to coast
[Chorus]
Come on and touch me when we're dancin'
You know you've got that lovin' touch
Oh oh touch me when we're dancin'
I want to feel you when I'm falling in love |
Never | 0 | Never
Forever and ever
That's what we wanna be
Cause we know this time
This love will never die
What a beautiful love we got
No, i don't wanna lose it all
Promise we will stay this way
Even though we know
There would be fights
And flow of tears
But there will always be
Apologize
Oh, we never, we will never forget to remind each other
How much we love one another
Never forget to remind each other
How much we love one another
We will never...
We will never...
We will never forget to remind each other
How much we love one another
Never forget to remind each other
How much we love one another
We will never
Forever and ever
You and me
We will never
Oh, we never, we will never forget to remind each other
How much we love one another
Never forget to remind each other
How much we love one another
We will never...
We will never...
Oh, we never, we will never forget
Forever and ever
Baby, you and me
This is what we wanna be
This love will never die |
What If I Never Get Over You | 0 | [Verse 1: Charles Kelly]
It's supposed to hurt, it's a broken heart
But to movin' on is the hardest part
It comes in waves, the letting go
But the memory fades, everybody knows
Everybody knows
[Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott]
What if I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye?
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
[Verse 2: Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly]
Maybe months go by, maybe years from now
And I meet someone and it's workin' out
Every now and then, he can see right through
'Cause when I look at him
Yeah, all I see is you
[Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott]
What if I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye?
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
[Bridge: Charles Kelly, Hillary Scott & Both]
Ooh yeah
What if I never get over?
What if I never get closure?
What if I never get back all the wasted words I told ya?
What if It never gets better?
What if this lasts forever and ever and ever?
[Chorus: Charles Kelly & Hillary Scott, Hillary Scott & Charles Kelly]
I'm tryin', but then I close my eyes
And then I'm right back, lost in that last goodbye
And what if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
What if I never get over you?
What if I gave you (What if I gave you) everything I got?
What if your love was my one and only shot?
What if I end up with nothing to compare it to
What if I never get over? Oh, if I never get over
What if I never get over you?
[Outro: Hillary Scott, Charles Kelly & Both]
What if I never get over you?
Oh, what if I never get over?
Over you |
The Problem With Freedom | 0 | [Verse 1]
Hotel Bible by the bed, I came in late and drunk again
With the T.V. castin' shadows on the walls
Another night I'm on the floor, in the mornin' I'll be sore
But I don't deserve your comfort anymore
[Chorus]
'Cause I've done you wrong for so damn long
I've been runnin' from you since we said "I do"
I thought I needed space from that ball and chain
But I'm findin' what I really need is you
[Post-Chorus]
And the problem with freedom, after all
Is that no one's there to catch you when you fall
[Verse 2]
Early mornin' wake up call, don't mix good with alcohol
Throwin' whiskey bottles at the telephone
Wish I could just come home to you, I'd confess I was a fool
To ever think that I could make it on my own
[Chorus]
'Cause I've done you wrong for so damn long
I've been runnin' from you since we said "I do"
I thought I needed space from that ball and chain
But I'm findin' what I really need is you
[Post-Chorus]
And the problem with freedom, after all
Is that no one's there to catch you when you fall
[Bridge]
I'm letting myself go
Sinking down so low
[Chorus]
'Cause I've done you wrong for so damn long
I've been runnin' from you since we said "I do"
I thought I needed space from that ball and chain
But I'm findin' what I really need is you
[Post-Chorus]
And the problem with freedom, after all
Is that no one's there to catch you when you fall
[Outro]
And the problem with freedom, after all
Is that no one's there to catch you when you fall |
Sittin’ and Thinkin’ | 0 | [Verse 1]
I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin
And I had a fight with my best girlfriend
But when I'm drinking I am nobody's friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
[Verse 2]
I know the same thing has happened before
And each time it happens, I hate it more and more
But when I'm drinking I am nobody's friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
[Chorus]
I spent a whole lot of time sittin' and thinkin'
Sittin' and just thinkin' about you
If I didn't spend so much time sittin' and drinkin'
We'd still have the love I thought we knew
[Verse 3]
I won't promise the same thing won't happen again
But I can promise, it'll be a long, long time till then
Because when I'm drinking I am nobody's friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
[Outro]
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again |
The Change | 0 | [Verse 1]
One hand reaches out and pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
And they say what good have you done, by saving just this one
It's like whisperin' a prayer in the fury of a storm
[Chorus]
And I hear them sayin', you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know that it will not change me
[Verse 2]
This heart still believes that love and mercy still exist
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like tryin' to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
[Chorus]
And I hear them sayin', you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know that it will not change me
[Bridge]
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
[Chorus]
And I hear them sayin', you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know never changes me
[Outro]
What I do is so, this world will know, that it will not change me |
Cant Hardly Stand It | 0 | [Verse 1]
Well, the sun is gone down
And you're uptown
And you're just out runnin' around
[Chorus]
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand it
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
[Verse 2]
You say you're through with me
You're settin' me free
You're just out with your used-to-be
[Chorus]
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand it
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
[Verse 3]
Well, my spirit's low
I miss you so
I stand alone and watch you go
[Chorus]
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand it
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, a-babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
[Verse 4]
Well, now that you are gone
And I'm alone
All I do is sit and moan
[Chorus]
I can't hardly stand it
You're troublin' me
I can't hardly stand it
It just can't be
Well, you don't know, babe I love you so
You got me all tore up, all tore up
[Outro]
Baby, all tore up
Baby, all tore up
Baby, all tore up
Baby, all tore up
Baby, all tore up
All tore up
All tore up |
Anybody Playin Sad Songs | 0 | [Verse 1]
Turnin' the radio dial
Combin' the airwaves for an AM station out of Houston
I've driven a thousand miles
And all I know's this trip's sure been a long one and a rough one
I guess you could say I could use a shoulder
And some old tune to slow me down or pull me over
[Chorus]
Ain't anybody playin' sad songs anymore?
Don't anybody know what that old steel guitar is for?
Old cowboys like me, dead set on bein' free
Who leave the only freedom they're ever gonna find cryin' at love's front door
Ain't anybody playin' sad songs anymore?
[Verse 2]
Turnin' it all in my mind
Knowin' it's gonna be hard 'cause it's over and I knew it when she said it
It's gonna take some time
And evеry heartache needs a highway and a DJ and a sunset
I don't wanna hеar about forever
I'm fallin' apart just tryin' to keep it all together
[Chorus]
Ain't anybody playin' sad songs anymore?
Don't anybody know what that old steel guitar is for?
Old cowboys like me, dead set on bein' free
Who leave the only freedom they're ever gonna find cryin' at love's front door
Ain't anybody playin' sad songs anymore?
[Outro]
Turnin' the radio dial
Combin' the airwaves for an AM station out of Houston |
Dance The Night Away | 0 | Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Babe, you know I hate to see you cryin'
The last thing on my mind is to make you blue
And goodness knows I'm just not into lyin'
Babe, you can't believe I'm into you
So dry your eyes, sit down by the fire
And let the flames and music get you high
Let me say, I'm sorry, babe, for bein' so unkind
Talkin 'bout you, let me weave my trance
We might as well
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Whoa, the night away
So dry your eyes, sit down by the fire
Let the flames and music get you high
Let me say, I'm sorry, babe, for bein' so unkind
Talkin 'bout you, let me weave my trance
You know that I love you
Any fool could tell at a glance
We hear the music
We got a chance
We might as well
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
Dance the night away |
When You Go | 0 | The yelling and cussing was different this time
That's when I started to pack
There's a place where two people can't change anymore
And that's right about where we're at
Grabbed my favorite CDs and my six pack of beer
A duffle bag full of my clothes
Didn't come here with much even leaving with less
Guess that's what you get when ya go
Back when we met I thought she was so me
And she told me I was so her
Playing that game of pleasing each other
Oh, it was so easy at first
Why, when and where everything changed
At this point who cares and who knows
But last thing I want is to carry this hate
But you can't make it stay when you go
The way that it was ain't the way that it is
We've come to the fork in the road
And it ain't about pride or who's wrong or who's right
There just comes a time when you know
But you'll be better off when you go
Got caught in a moment way too surreal
I wasn't trying to stall
Just taking my steps one at a time
Taking in all the pictures on the wall
But I walked in the kitchen, said I better leave
Kinda hoping she might say don't
But she took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go
Yeah, she just took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go... |
Ive Got a Name for the Newborn Child | 0 | Oh, oh, sing and then back to work, yes, back again
Now's the time to pick the fruit, do with a pale branch, do
Green corn in the field, river running like a wheel
There's a child on the way and he's a child of God
I've got a name for the newborn child
I've got a name for the meek and mild
I've got a name, you know it well
Sitting on the rock on Christmas Day
And oh, oh, peace on you, throw off the yoke and drink a few
The Peacock Fiddle Band's in town and summer's on the way
Sing a song called "Swee-dee-dee," full-tilt river, switchback sea
Got so drunk on brandywine the scales fell away
I've got a name for the newborn child
I've got a name for the meek and mild
I've got a name, you know it well
Sitting on the rock on Christmas Day
I'll dance 'til the stones roll away
Yeah I'll dance 'til the dimming of the day
And when the truth has been revealed to be nothing we can see
Rise up, rise up, I've got something to say
And oh, oh, raise the sail, for this is something special
Light the way with a little flame to keep the dark away
Daybreak, sound the horn, lay the dead and raise the born
Goodbye blackened abattoir, hello yellow dawn
I've got a name for the newborn child
I've got a name for the meek and mild
I've got a name, you know it well
Sitting on the rock on Christmas Day |
Shes Just A Place To Fall | 0 | [Verse 1]
She's just a place to fall, that's all
She asks no more of me
When troubles have me feeling small
She is where I want to be
[Refrain]
She'd give me the world if I let her
And I know that I'd do the same
We're a puzzle, Lord, but we fit together
Especially when it's starting to rain
Especially when it's starting to rain
[Verse 2]
She's just a place for me to call
I never hesitate
And when she leads me down the hall
Oh, the world will have to wait
[Refrain]
She surrounds me with love like a sweater
And when I come apart at the seams
We'll pick up the pieces together
One night is all we need
I said, one night is all we need
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
She's just a place to fall, that's all
She asks no more of me
When troubles have me feeling small
Aw, she is where I want to be
[Outro]
She is where I want to be |
Indian Reservation | 0 | [Verse One]
They took the whole Cherokee Nation
Put us on a reservation
Took away our way of life
Tomahawk and a Bowie knife
Took away our native tongue
Taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Oh you can buy them from Japan
[Chorus]
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
[Verse Two]
They took the whole Lakota nation
Locked us on this reservation
But I can’t wear no shirt and tie
'Cause I’m a red man deep inside
[Chorus]
Lakota people, Lakota tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
[Bridge]
Maybe someday whеn they learn
All the nations will rеturn
[Chorus + Outro]
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
Lakota people, Lakota tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
Mohawk people, Mohawk tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
Navajo people, Navajo tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
Indian people, Indian tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die |
Pie For Breakfast | 0 | I'm having Pie for Breakfast
The snow's coming down
I'm staring out the window in a cold and distant town
A woman and her baby pass in front of me
Hundreds of miles away from my sweet Stella Jean
Well sure we love the music and sure the soul must sing
Why must it keep me away from my sweet Stella Jean
I'm having Pie for Breakfast
The snow's coming down
I'm staring out the window in a cold and distant town
It's been just one week since I held you in my arms
Minutes and hours have never felt so long
Sure we have to travel and sure we have to play
'Till a month ago I didn't want no other way
I'm having Pie for Breakfast
The snow's coming down
I'm staring out the window in a cold and distant town
-Instrumental-
Baby can't you see
Papa wishes he was by your side
Baby forgive me
For leaving you and Mama while I ride
Baby could it be
Ramblings just another way to hide
Baby would you please
Forgive me for not being there tonight
I'm having Pie for Breakfast
The snow's coming down
I'm staring out the window in a cold and distant town
I'm having Pie for Breakfast
The snow's coming down
Im staring out the window in a cold and distant town |
Green Green Grass of Home | 0 | [Verse 1]
The old home town
Still looks the same
As I step down from the train
There to meet me
Is my mama and my papa
Down the road I look
And there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home
[Chorus]
Yes, they'll all come to see me
Arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly
When again I'll touch the
Green, green grass of home
[Verse 2]
The old home place is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
There's the old oak tree
That I once used to play on
Down the lane I walk
With my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the
Green, green grass of home
[Interlude]
Then I awoke
And I look around me
At the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard
And there's a sad old padre
Where arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
As they lay me 'neath the
Green, green grass of home
[Chorus] |
Serenade Live | 0 | [Intro]
How's everybody doing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma this evening?Alright‚ alright‚ alright. So here's the single off our latest album "Borrowed Time‚" it's called "Serenade."
[Verse 1]
Well I'm a-headin' west out [?] road
Livin' this life has been a heavy load
Can't turn around and don't wanna go back home
There's a half a thirty pack's in my back seat
Passed out buddy's in the front with me
Ain't much help but he keeps me from feelin' so lonely
[Chorus]
Makin' miles around this washed up town
Got my radio up and the dash dimmed down
My mind's racin' like these 8 lug wheels
Tonight I'm gonna serenade my damn steerin' wheel
[Verse 2]
Well this workin' week sure wore me out
Rather be in motion instead of sittin' down
Starin' at the walls and writin' down sad songs
They say love's a drug, I guess got hooked
There's no bookin' rehab or I'd be booked
I need somethin' to help with these withdrawals
[Chorus]
Makin' miles around this washed up town
Got my radio up and the dash dimmed down
My mind's racin' like these 8 lug wheels
Tonight I'm gonna serenade my damn steerin' wheel
[Chorus]
Makin' miles around this washed up town
Got my radio up and the dash dimmed down
My mind's racin' like these 8 lug wheels
Tonight I'm gonna serenade my damn steerin' wheel |
It All Comes Back To Me Now | 0 | It all comes back to me now
A starry summer sky
A laughing you and I, alone
It all comes back to me now
A sea of midnight blue
Your face uplifted to my own
We called it a thrill of the moment
And blamed the moon up above
We didn't know what the glow meant
We never dreamed it might be love
It all comes back to me now
The love I threw away
And now each lonely night I pray
That it will all come back to me someday
We never dreamed it might be love
It all comes back to me now
The love I threw away
And now each lonely night I pray
That it will all come back to me someday |
Gypsy Girl | 0 | I remember the leaves were gone
And burning embers make for the sweetest songs
Yeah, I can see the two of us living on dreams and dust
Loving you was so unreal that I remember
She was just a gypsy girl
I was just a chance I wish she’d take
Got into a lonely world, trying to belong
Love is like a string of pearls
While I was waiting for the strand to break
From a thousand miles away
Somehow we made it home
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Wayward travelers, stars get crossed
Find out only after we were never lost
I can see the two of us living on dreams and dust
Loving you was so unreal that I remember
She was just a gypsy girl
I was just a chance I wish she’d take
Got into a lonely world, trying to belong
Love is like a string of pearls
While I was waiting for the strand to break
From a thousand miles away
Somehow we made it home
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
She was just a gypsy girl
I was just a chance I wish she’d take
Got into a lonely world, trying to belong
Love is like a string of pearls
While I was waiting for the strand to break
From a thousand miles away
Somehow we made it home
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Just a thousand miles away |
Take Me to Your Heart | 0 | When the day leaves you
So empty and afraid
Nobody seems to care
Nights are getting longer
And the morning comes too soon
And all the while, every day
Gets farther out of tune
Take me to your heart
Let me be your way
Take me to your heart
Take it day by day
Just take me to your heart
When the birds of worry
They fly above your head
Sadness and sorrow fill your time
Distances are longer
And your patience growing thin
And you feel you have
No strength to begin again
Take me to your heart
Let me be your way
Take me to your heart
Take it day by day
Just take me to your heart
I remember me sometimes
When no one came around
Friends I thought were friends
Were nowhere to be found
Take me to your heart
Let me be your way
Take me to your heart
Take it day by day
Just take me to your heart
Just take me to your heart |
I’d Build a Bridge | 0 | As I sift through the ashes
Of bridges burned and broken dreams
If I could only find the pieces
I'd build a bridge that would bring you back to me
I'd build a bridge that would bring you back to me
If I could take the past and change it
To what I wanted it to be
I would mold and I would shape it
Into a bridge that would bring you back to me
I'd build a bridge that would bring you back to me
Oh, I'd build a bridge made of love
A love so strong
That nothing known
Could ever shake it
Oh, I'd build a bridge made of stone
And I would stand
And defend it
And never let it fall
Though the walls may be crumbled
The cornerstone is planted deep
And it will gladly hold the pieces
To the bridge that would bring you back to me
I'll build a bridge that will bring you back to me
Oh, I'll build a bridge made of love
A love so strong
Nothing known
Could ever shake it, yeah
Oh, I'll build a bridge made of stone
And I will stand
And defend it, yeah
Oh, I'll build a bridge made of love
A love so strong
Nothing known
Could ever shake it, yeah
Oh, I'll build a bridge mad of stone
And I will stand
And I'll defend it, yeah |
Break My Mind | 0 | Baby, oh, baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand
That you've changed your mind
Let me run on out and tell the cab
To keep his meter flying
'Cause if you say goodbye to me, babe
You're gonna break my mind
Break my mind, break my mind
No, I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine
Break my mind, break my mind
If you leave you're gonna leave a babalin' fool behind
Baby, oh, baby
Let me take your suitcase
Off the scales in time
Tell thе man that you've suddenly devеloped
A thing about flyin'
'Cause if you say goodbye to me, babe
You know you're gonna break my mind
Break my mind, break my mind
No, I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine

It’s a Lonesome Old Town | 0 | It's a lonesome old town when you're not around
I'm lonely, as I, as I can be
I never knew, never knew how much I'd miss you
But now I can plainly see
It's a lonesome old town when you're not around
How I wish you'd come back to me
I never knew, no I never knew how much
I'd miss you, ah but now I can plainly see
Oh it's a lonesome old town when you're not around
How I wish you'd come back to me |
Be Here to Love Me | 0 | [Verse 1]
Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way
But I don't care, I want you to stay
And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
[Verse 2]
The children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say?
The stage has been set for the play
So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
[Verse 3]
The moon's come and gone, but a few stars hang on to the sky
Well, the wind's runnin' free, though it ain't up to me to ask why
But the poets are demanding their pay
And they've left me with nothin' to say
Except hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today |
All I Can Do | 0 | [Chorus]
Well it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
[Verse 1]
I wasn't looking for love when I found you
Just someone to be with and have a good time
But I get these strange funny feelings around you
When you're not with me, you're still on my mind
[Chorus]
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
[Verse 2]
I had intended to wait for a long time
I thought that love would just mess up my plans
'Cause I had big plans for a bright shining future
Could this be my future that's holding my hand?
[Chorus]
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
[Verse 3]
I need to tell you how I feel about you
But I'm so afraid that you don't feel the same
But if I don't tell you how I feel about you
I just might lose you, can I take that chance?
[Chorus]
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
All I can do, all I |

Kentucky Feb. 27 71 | 0 | [Verse:]
There were signs beside the road like "Jesus Saves"
And "Relieve yourself the fast and gentle way"
I was lookin' for an old man who lived way back in these hills
Who just might have a story I could tell
Pretty soon the blacktop disappeared
I felt the car change to a lower gear
I took a drink of liquor just to chase away the chill
I was 27 miles from Olive Hill
Ahead I saw the bridge where I turned right
A dirt road led straight up a mountainside
I pulled up to a farmhouse I thought I had seen before
An old man and his dog were at the door
They told me this old-timer knew this land
I told him, "Sir, I just don't understand
Why the kids in this state just grow up and move away
And leave the land where they were born and raised."
He said, "Son, you can't make it on this land
Unless you're happy workin' with your hands
There ain't no kids today that wanna stay and work it out
They wanna see the things they hear about."
He said, "I cleared this whole farm off myself
And I'd work it now but time has got my health."
Then starin' out the window restin' in his easy chair
He told me what I'd really come to hear
"You know, son, people used to tell their kids
'Now, I don't want you to have to work the way I did.'
They don't and some will tell you that it's a shame
But you have to think before you place the blame."
I guess we must have talked for half a day
'Til I told him that I'd best be on my way
He shook my hand and said, "I'm glad I met you, Mr. Hall
But I guess there ain't no song here after all." |
Somethin You Got | 0 | Maybe it's your ruby red lips
Or maybe it’s your sexy hips
Whatever it is that you're doing to me
Satisfies my deepest fantasies
Maybe it's the wiggle in your walk
Maybe it’s the giggle in your talk
You light my flame and there ain't no doubt
Your kind of lovin' turns me inside out
Somethin' you got
Girl, has put a spell on me
Somethin' you got
Oh, it's such a miracle to see
Somethin' in the way that you touch my hand
Makes me feel like your number one man
Somethin' you got
Girl, has put a spell on me
You got that look in your eye
The look that’s drivin’ me wild
You're fillin’ me up with a sweet desire
You know the way, girl, to set me on fire
Somethin' you got
Girl, has put a spell on me
Somethin' you got
Oh, it's such a miracle to see
Somethin’ in the way that you touch my hand
Makes me feel like your number one man
Somethin' you got
Girl, has put a spell on me
Oh yeah
Somethin' in the way that you touch my hand
Makes me feel like your number one man
Somethin' you got
Girl, has put a spell on me
Somethin' you got
Don't you know, girl, you put a spell on me
Somethin' you got
Put a spell on me
Somethin' you got
Don't you know, girl |
Give It Away | 0 | [Verse 1]
She was storming through the house that day
And I could tell she was leaving
And I thought, aw, she'll be back
Till she turned around and pointed at the wall and said
[Verse 2]
That picture from our honeymoon
That night in Frisco Bay
Just give it away
She said, give it away
And that big four-poster king-size bed
Where so much love was made
Just give it away
She said, just give it away
[Chorus]
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fighting over
Oh, and we're both tired of fighting anyway
Just give it away
[Bridge]
So I tried to move on
But I found that each woman I held
Just reminded me of that day
Hmm
[Verse 3]
When that front door swung wide open
She flung her diamond ring
Said, give it away
Just give it away
And I said, now, honey, don't you even want
Your half of everything
She said, give it away
Just give it away
[Chorus]
Just give it away
There ain't nothing in this house worth fighting over
Oh, and we're both tired of fighting anyway
Just give it away
[Instrumental interlude]
[Verse 4]
So I'm still right here where she left me
Along with all the other things
She don't care about anymore
Mmm, like that picture from our honeymoon
That night in Frisco Bay
She said, give it away
Well, I can't give it away
And that big four-poster king-size bed
Where all our love was made
She said, give it away
Well, I can't give it away
[Outro]
I've got a furnished house, a diamond ring
And a lonely broken heart
Full of love and I can't even give it away |
Colored Blues | 0 | [Verse 1]

Shady Tree | 0 | In a lazy little town just about a mile from nowhere
There's an old man sitting under a shady tree
As the hot sun makes its round he just sits there on the ground
In the shade he can let his mind run free
Inside his head there's music playing
Old time songs way from good days gone by
Sometimes he smiles at the echo of a saying
Sometimes he looks up to the sky
On the porch across the street, in a red old rocking chair
Sweet old women keeps looking at the shady tree
As the evening sun goes down, old man gets up from the ground
She smiles she knows his mind is free
Inside his head there's music playing
Old time songs way from good days gone by
Sometimes he smiles at the echo of a saying
Sometimes he looks up to the sky |
Leave This Man | 0 | Never put much weight in words writ on pages
Never took advice from the world’s long dead sages
Yeah, I needed to see things for myself
I need pictures, not books off a shelf
I lived and I lied though I had my reasons
Where I laid my head would change with the seasons
Yeah, I need the pace to change
Yeah, I needed the space to range
So, leave this man
I’ve done the best that I can
I laid on down ‘neath the sky
So, I could look into your eyes
To see the moments, I defeated, overthrown
To see the moments, I repeated to my soul
See our love isn’t gone, you see, I can feel it
I know heaven is real because there’s a hell and I’ve seen it
Yeah, I saw both sides of you
Yeah, I saw what we want to be true
So, I love every day, try to make it a habit
So, it all feels close so much I can grab it
But my mind it fails me then
So much I cannot see again
So, leave this man
I’ve done the best that I can
I laid on down ‘neath the sky
So, I could look into your eyes
To see the moments, I defeated, overthrown
To see the moments, I repeated to my soul
The future looks bright but the past you see clearer
Like when the windshields broke but you can still use the mirrors
But the road goes on ahead
Don’t look back, just look ahead
So, leave this man
I’ve done the best that I can
I laid on down ‘neath the sky
So, I could look into your eyes
To see the moments, I defeated, overthrown
To see the moments, I repeated to my soul |
Sad Ole Shade Of Grey | 0 | We've had some good we've had some bad but mostly in-between
Used words like love words like hate and words we didn't mean
We've put it down we've patched it up we both have had our say
Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray
Neither one of us was always right neither one was always strong
We never put I love you in the place where it belonged
When one was up the other was down and love can't grow that way
Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray
You'll find a love to take my place and I'll find me someone
For when it's all been said and done more was said than done
So you take yours and I'll take mine
We'll go our separate ways
Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray
Divorce ain't black divorce ain't white just a sad ole shade of gray |
Barney | 0 | Yesterday morning, the snow came at last
The cattle all came down from the hill
Barney, he's been crippled for quite a long while now
His old legs stiffened there in the chill
Since coming up from Texas, he's been owned by many
And he's been rodeo'd and knocked all around
So to bury him deep, before the ground got too hard
That morning I put Barney down
We walked up the hill through the dead brown grass
Barney, a rifle, and I
And tying him quickly, I took aim and I fired
In hopes he'd feel nothing and die
But with a heart such as he had, he clung so to life
Busted his halter and staggered away
He was coughing his blood, still fighting to stand
He pitched forward and died where he lay
As I drove into town, I started to cry
Where no one could see or could care
And the sadness cut through me as I stared through my tears
At rush hour's oncoming glare
And I wept for my season of youth past and done
And for things that I thought I forgot
But mostly I cried for an honest brown horse
Who gave me much more than he got |

What a Mans Got to Do | 0 | There's six hundred dollars tucked into his jeans
Burnin' a hole in his heart
He stares at the phone in a cheap motel
And he knows that it won't get him far
Got a half-busted shoulder on a bull down in Houston
There once was a time that he didn't mind losin'
But it's all on the line now and then some too
And he just don't know what to do
There's a Greyhound Station with a midnight ride
That'd take him back home before dawn
And he could pick up that phone and hear her voice on the line
And like a flash of wild lightnin' be gone
But another bus leaves for Laredo at sunrise
As he fights back the tears fallin' down from his blue eyes
He whispers her name and a prayer to get through
'Cause he just don't know what to do
It's a hundred year story of struggle and strife
It's the pain and the glory of every cowboy's life
When there's just enough money to ride or go home
You fall down for good or you get back on
There's a chute flyin' open down in Laredo Texas
The crowd comes alive with the rush
There's a cowboy spinnin' and a Brahma-cross buckin'
He's ridin' all out or bust
He's fightin' and spurrin'
They're twistin' and turnin'
And inside the fire it just keeps on burnin'
And he calls when it's over to say I love you
But a man's got to do what a man's got to do |
Send Down the Rain | 0 | [Verse 1]
Lord I'm so dry, my soul is thirsty
As a deer pants for water, my soul longs for Thee
It’s been some time since I came out of Egypt
The heat of this desert, it's taking its toll on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Though my words are tired, my lips sore from pleading
Still I will call out Your name
I'll raise my hands as I cry out for mercy
I yearn for Your touch once again
[Chorus]
Send down the rain, pour out Your presence
Come flood my soul, I’ve wandered much too long
I'll wait right here till Your glory guides me
Where the well overflows with waters from Your throne
Send down the rain
[Verse 2]
Lord I'm so weak, my soul is hungry
Yеsterday's bread no longer sustains mе
This barren land will not yield its portion
Tears are my food as I cry again to Thee
[Pre-Chorus]
Though my words are tired, my lips sore from pleading
Still I will call out Your name
I'll raise my hands as I cry out for mercy
I yearn for Your touch once again
[Chorus]
Send down the rain, pour out Your presence
Come flood my soul, I've wandered much too long
I'll wait right here till Your glory guides me
Where the well overflows with waters from Your throne
Send down the rain
Send down the rain, pour out Your presence
Come flood my soul, I've wandered much too long
I’ll wait right here till Your glory guides me
Where the well overflows with waters from Your throne
Oh, send down the rain
I’ll wait right here till Your glory guides me
Where the well overflows with waters from Your throne
Send down the rain (Send down, send down, won't You send down the rain?)
Oh, send down the rain (Send down, send down, Lord please send down the rain)
Oh, send down the rain |
Barstow | 0 | [Verse 1]
Anyone caught speaking Esperanto
Is thought crazy or headed for jail
There's peace in the wilds of West Texas
Where the sun and the sky prevail
Take no notice of the rising waters
Take no notice where rivers run dry
They'll be digging through the landfills
To find evidence of our great demise
[Chorus]
There's a changing pattern before us
And the past tells the story quite well
By the time we make it to Barstow
We'll be more than halfway to hell
[Verse 2]
Waves of adverts that promise revival
Trinket-ware that batters the brain
The devil bought the key to Branson
Drives a backhoe and wears a gold chain
Now we're living in the unnamed time frame
Bets in Reno are on the human race
Woke up in another test market
With a new headache filter in place
[Chorus]
There's a changing pattern before us
And the past tells the story quite well
By the time we make it to Barstow
We'll be more than halfway to hell
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh, mmm)
By the time we make it to Barstow
We'll be more than halfway to hell |
The Weekend | 0 | I hit the weekend just like a freight
I got there early, I couldn't wait
I made a friend or two along the way
You want the details, but what can I say?
There's the ballerina, the foreign cartels
The opera singer, the Southern belle
They've all got something strange and new
They've all got something, but not like you
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
It will take some time to to get back on course
I got to find my half-runaway horse
She was the best friend a man ever had
Now I'm going down the road feeling bad
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Friday is forever
Saturday flies fast
Sunday, start comin' down
The good ones never last
The good ones never last
What became of the red rooster after the tragedy?
What became of you, girl? And what became of me?
And she said "I had good fortune - silver, silk and wool
I gave them all away and now my heart is full"
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaoo
Whoa whoa whoa whoaooo
I hit the weekend just like a freight
I got there early, I couldn't wait |
Dont Take the Girl | 0 | [Verse 1]
Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishin' pole
His dad looked down and smiled
Said, "We can't leave her behind
Son, I know you don't want her to go
But someday you'll change your mind"
[Pre-Chorus]
And Johnny said:
[Chorus 1]
Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend, Bo
Take anybody that you want as
Long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please, don't take the girl
[Verse 2]
Same old boy, same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
Said, "If you do what I tell you to, there
Won't be any harm"
[Pre-Chorus]
And Johnny said:
[Chorus 2]
Take my money, take my wallet
Take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister, give it a whirl
But, please, don't take the girl
[Verse 3]
Same old boy, same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she
Says, "It's time to go"
Doctor says, "The baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fadin' fast" and
Johnny hit his knees
[Pre-Chorus]
And then he prayed:
[Chorus 3]
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please, don't take the girl
[Outro]
Johnny's daddy
Was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old |
Wheels On Fire | 0 | [Verse 1]
If your mem'ry serves you well
We were gonna meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit down before it gets too late
[Verse 2]
When no man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your mem'ry served you well
[Chorus]
This wheel's on fire
Rollin' down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
[Verse 3]
If your mem'ry served you well
I was gonna confiscate all your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
[Verse 4]
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your mem'ry served you well
[Chorus]
This wheel's on fire
Rollin' down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
[Verse 5]
If your mem'ry served you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get your favor done
[Verse 6]
And after ev'ry plan had failed
There was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your mem'ry served you well
[Chorus]
This wheel's on fire
Rollin' down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
Well, no man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your mem'ry served you well
[Chorus]
This wheel's on fire
Rollin' down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode |
Lit | 0 | [Verse 1]
Lucky strike in a honky tonk
Chicken fryin' on a chicken bone
Tennessee moonshiner
Cookin' that copper line
Granny drunk playin' Bingo, yellin' out B-99
[Verse 2]
Talkin' 'bout lit
Fire up that stogie when the deal is done
Short fuse, black cat, everybody run
Linebacker when they bring the house
Layin' that shoulder to ya
Frat roll when the tide rolls
Down in Tuscaloosa
[Chorus]
Slide on over
Move a little closer
With that four-alarm fire engine red on your lips
So hot you got me smoking
Girl you got it going
Oh, you're the only one with the kiss that gets me lit
[Verse 3]
Grandpa fishin' with dynamite
Creek too dry with the Christmas lights
A little Sunday morning brimstone
From a Pentecostal pastor
Keith Richards stoned on rock 'n roll tearin' up that telecaster
[Chorus]
Slide on over
Move a little closer
With that four-alarm fire engine red on your lips
So hot you got me smoking
Girl you got it going
Oh, you're the only one with the kiss that gets me lit
[Bridge]
You turn me on every time I'm next to you
Can't nobody light me up quite like you do
[Chorus]
Slide on over
Move a little closer
With that four-alarm fire engine red on your lips
So hot you got me smoking
Girl you got it going
Oh, you're the only one with the kiss that gets me lit
[Outro]
Lucky strike in a Honky Tonk
Chicken fryin' on a chicken bone
Grandpa fishin' with dynamite
Creek too dry with the Christmas lights
Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout lit
Hey, everybody get lit
Come on lets get lit
Get lit |
