I miss you so much
I don't know what to do
Can't bear the thought of
My life without you
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges
Whatever it was
That tore us apart
Can surely be healed
With forgiving hearts
Please baby, lets unburn all our bridges
Tempers were lost
Emotions ran high
Feelings were wounded
On the night of goodbye
We said some things
We didn't mean
That wasn't you baby
That wasn't me
I still love you
I will till I die
And love is much stronger
Than anger or pride
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges
Tempers were lost
Emotions ran high
Feelings were wounded
On the night of goodbye
We said some things
We didn't mean
That wasn't you baby
That wasn't me
I still love you
I will till I die
And love is much stronger
Than anger or pride
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges
Please baby, let's unburn all our bridges
Unburn all our bridges
Just about a mile off o' Thirty One
There's a whole lot o' nothin' gettin' done
Blue-collar rednecks feeling fine
A couple o' sips of a year old shine
Everyday's about feeling good
Way down yonder in the trailerhood
Danny Ray's fishin' in his one-man boat
If he stayed gone no one would know
Darlene's boyfriend came home drunk
Ol' boy's luggage is loaded in the truck
That's one less two-timer up to no good
Way down yonder in the trailerhood
The trailerhood, the trailerhood
Ain't nobody doin' what they should
One thing is understood
You can be yourself in the trailerhood
If you wanna see a mobile home
Get turned into a honky tonk
Turn your truck south off o' Thirty One
Where the backwoods boys git-er-done
It's a single wide party box back in the woods
Way down yonder in the trailerhood
Yeah, the trailerhood, the trailerhood
Ain't nobody doin' what they should
One thing is understood
You can be yourself in the trailerhood
I said, the trailerhood, the trailerhood
Ain't nobody doin' what they should
one thing is understood
You can be yourself in the trailerhood
There's so many things that I need to do
Seems like nothing gets done when I'm feeling so blue
And it's so hard to handle this absolute truth
That you're so not around and I'm so into you
You're so not my baby, it's making me crazy
It's breaking my heart and my world half in two
You're so not my baby, hey, I should be okay
But you know what, I'm so not over you
I keep ringing and ringing your old telephone
Seems like the more that it rings, the more that you're gone
I oughta hang up and just let you go
But a voice in my heart keeps saying hello
I've been searching and searching but it just gets me down
'Cause your love and affection is nowhere to be found
Know what, I'm so not over you
I've got my share of scars on those ol' monkey bars
Every time I'd hit the ground
On that old long dirt my bike lost control
And once again I was fallin' down
Every time I'd try to fly, there's a force I can't deny
Gravity
Grew to be six foot one, depended on no one
Yeah, I was my ol' man
Invincible and strong until you came along
And touched me with your gentle hand
When I look into your eyes, there's a force I can't deny
Gravity
Well, I never really like it much
Always left me all scraped up
Never really saw it as a good thing
Changes tides out on the sea
Pulled your body close to me
First time I ain't been afraid to fall
Don't guess it's so bad after all
Gravity
Well, I never really like it much
Always left me all scraped up
Never really saw it as a good thing
Changes tides out on the sea
Pulled your body close to me
First time I ain't been afraid to fall
Don't guess it's so bad after all
Gravity
Gravity
You talk about your feeling
Sometimes I keep mine to myself
But that doesn't mean your foolish
And you know I don't want anybody else
And you can say I love you
Like hello and goodbye.
Well I don't say it very often
But you know I'll love you till the day I die
That's just the difference
Between a woman and a man
Thank god for that difference
When we both understand
A woman and a man
I turn on like a light bulb
You warm up like an iron
And you might take a little longer
But your into it just as strong as I am
That's just the difference
Between a woman and a man
Thank god for that difference
When we both understand
A woman and a man
A woman and a man
Soulmate
Until the end of time
You're my soulmate
I'll love you till I get to heaven's gate
And if I go first sweetheart
I'll wait
'Cause I know I'll never find another
Soulmate
Your love
There's no telling where I'd be
Without your love
Stumbling in the dark
Would be pretty rough
When I get down you're the one
That lifts me up
I thank the Lord above
For your love
In this day and time
The right one is hard to find
Girl, that's why I'm holding on to you
Each and every night
When we turn out the light
There's no mistaking what we have is true
Soulmate
I hope that we grow old together
Solemate
In the good and bad
Even through the heartache
We've got a special bond
That'll never break
'Cause darling you and I are
Soulmates
Soulmate
Until the end of time
You're my soulmate
I'll love you till I get to
Heaven's gate
We've got a special bond
That'll never break
'Cause darling you and I are
Soulmates
Yeah, I know I'll never find another
She was out last night till way past ten
Same thing all over again but with my best friend
Why'd she wanna make me so mad
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad
Now when I asked her to go to sunday school
She went and called me a damned old fool
Now I don't understand
Why'd she wanna make me so sad
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad
Here she comes
There she goes
Well I saved my money and I bought her a car
She got it stolen outside the bar
She looks good but she might not be
The kind of woman that im likley to need
Well I don't know why I let her walk on me
She's impolite as she can be
Now I'm startin to think
Hey maybe I've been had
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad
I treat that bad woman good
Lord I need a good woman bad
I treat that bad woman good
Darlin', it seems like the whole world's just turnin' so fast
Everything's changin' and we're just tryin' to keep up
But we've got something special here
Something worth waitin' for
Yeah, we're right on the edge of fallin'
Fallin' in love
No rush, no rush, ain't this world turnin', baby
Fast enough
Let's slow it on down to just the two of us
No rush
Walkin' (walkin') an' talkin' (talkin')
Dreamin' with you, wonderin' (wonderin')
And tell me baby, I've been wonderin'
Are you feelin' it too
No rush, no rush, we've got forever, baby
For catchin' up
Let's lay it on back to the speed of love
No rush
No rush, no rush, ain't this world turnin', baby
Fast enough
Let's slow it on down to just the two of us
No rush
No rush, no rush, we've got forever, baby
For catchin' up
Let's lay it on back to the speed of love
No rush
Let's slow it on down to just the two of us
There ain't nothing that can't be done by me and God
Ain't nobody come in between me and God
One day we'll live together where the angels trod
Me and God
Early in the morning talking it over, me and God
Late at night talking it over, me and God
You could say we're like two peas in a pod
Me and God
He's my Father, He's my friend
The beginning and the end
He rules the world with a staff and rod
We're a team, me and God
I am weak and He is strong, me and God
He forgives me when I'm wrong, me and God
He's the one I lean on when life gets hard
Me and God
He's my Father, He's my friend
The beginning and the end
He rules the world with a staff and rod
We're a team, me and God
He rules the world with a staff and rod
We're a team, me and God
We're a team, me and God
All the things I felt and never shared.
All the times she was lonely with me there.
Tears I wouldn't let fall from my eyes, and how I let her go without a fight.
The reasons Im alone I know by heart, but I dont wanna spend forever in the dark.
I swear next time Ill hang on for dear life. If love ever gives me another try.
Theres no changin things that we regret,
the best that we can hope for is one more chance.
If the hands of time could just move in reverse, I wouldn't make the same mistake again with her
The reasons Im alone I know by heart, but I dont wanna spend forever in the dark.
I swear next time Ill hang on for dear life. If love ever gives me another try.
The reasons Im alone I know by heart, but I dont wanna spend forever in the dark.
I swear next time Ill hang on for dear life. If love ever gives me another try.
Well, I grew up wild and free
Walkin' these fields in my barefeet
There wasn't no place I couldn't go
With a .22 rifle and a fishin' pole
Well, I live in the city but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
When I was young I remember well
I'd hunt the wild turkey and bobwhite quail
The river was clear and deep back then
Had fishin' lines tied to the willow limb
Well, I live in the city but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
Well, they damned the river, they damned the stream
They cut down the Cyprus and the Sweetgum trees
There's a laundromat and a barbershop
And now the whole meadow is a parking lot
Well, I live in the city but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
Well, I live in the city but don't fit in
You know it's a pity the shape I'm in
Well, I got no home and I got no choice
Oh, Lord, have mercy on a country boy
There's a long black train comin' down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'
Rails of sin, only evil remains
Watch out, brother, for that long black train
Look to the Heavens, you can look to the sky
You can find redemption staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train
'Cause there's victory in the Lord, I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train
There's an engineer on that long black train
Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain
He's just a-waitin' on your heart to say
"Let me ride on that long black train"
But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train
Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good but I must stay away
That train is a beauty makin' everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere
But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train
I said cling to the Father and His Holy name
And don't go ridin' on that long black train
Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train
It wasn't even in my plan
A week in the sun and some fun in the sand
I was really only passing through
It all began on ocean drive
Standin' in line for a burger and fries
Coincidently so were you
We took a quiet corner booth
Didn't plan on hangin' out in Florida
Never was to good at standin still
Suddenly it's lookin' like I'm gonna
Kill a few more days in Jacksonville
I'm givin' up my walkin' shoes
While the wind and the waves wash away my blues
And you help me lose track of time
Rock and roll, your holdin' me
Rockin' in your arms by a rollin' sea
It was easy makin' up my mind
I can see forever in your eyes, your eyes
Didn't plan on hangin' out in Florida
Never was to good at standin still
Suddenly it's lookin' like I'm gonna
Kill a few more days in Jacksonville
Didn't plan on hangin' out in Florida
Never was to good at standin still
Suddenly it's lookin' like I'm gonna
Every time you shake your hips
Baby, I go crazy
When you kiss me on my lips
Baby, I go crazy
When you call me on the phone
Your sexy talking turns me on
You make it tough just holding on
You got me going crazy
Baby, I go crazy
I see it coming and I can't help myself
You give me loving like nobody else
You got me falling now, I'm calling for help
Girl, I'm going crazy
When you put on that party dress
Baby, I go crazy
You got me hooked, I must confess
You got me going crazy
Baby, I go crazy
I see it coming and I can't help myself
You give me loving like nobody else
You got me falling now, I'm calling for help
Girl, I'm going crazy
Baby, I go crazy
I see it coming and I can't help myself
You give me loving like nobody else
You got me falling now, I'm calling for help
Girl, I'm going crazy
You really know how to drive me wild
Baby, I go crazy
Crawling 'round just like a child
Baby, I go crazy
Darlin', I go crazy
Rains comin' down on the roof of my trailer house
With my luck I'd probably step outside and drown
How long will it take to get used to this doin' without
Guess I'll just lay around in my pajamas
Baby's gone home to mama
Baby's gone home, she left me alone
But she said she'd phone me sometime
Sad old song, left me long gone outta my mind
Well, we did our best but we didn't have enough in common
Sittin' here lonesome, baby's gone home to mama
Glance through the paper lookin' for somethin' to read
Even the funnies weren't that funny to me
It's written in the stars the future was plain to see, yeah
Might've known she'd leave if I'd read Nostradomas
Baby's gone home to mama
Baby's gone home, she left me alone
But she said she'd phone me sometime
Sad old song, left me long gone outta my mind
Well, we did our best but we didn't have enough in common
Sittin' here lonesome, baby's gone home to mama
Y'all, I miss her alot but at least she took the little Chiwawa
Sittin' here lonesome, baby's gone home to mama
Baby's long gone, baby's gone home to mama
She's gone
Aaah, sittin' here in my pajamas
If you're looking for somebody you can talk to
When the heartache and the troubles overcome you
There's a man you can count on
That you can put your problems on
You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
For a lover and an understander
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer
You're out there wondering
What got you into such a big old mess?
You've been feeling so undeserving of forgiveness
But there's a King upon a throne
That lets you know you're not alone
You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
He's an anchor, He's Gods right hander
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer
Sometimes life is a no win situation
But get down on your knees
And He'll be right there waiting
You've got questions, you need directions
Arms to hold you for all eternity
Look no further 'cause there's no other
He's a lover and an understander
He's an anchor, He's Gods right hander
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer
The answer
Jesus is the answer, Jesus is the answer
Grand Old Opry music show playin' on my radio
Fiddle and a steel guitar in some little redneck bar
Parkin' lot full of four wheel drives
You won't hear no hip hop jive
Cowgirls lookin' for cowboys
Two-step to that ol' white noise
I'm talkin' 'bout white noise comin' from the white boys
I can't keep my cowboy boots from stompin'
To that white noise comin' from the white boys
Take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
When the evenin' sun goes down crusin' through our little town
Country girls and country boys showin' off hillbilly toys
Talkin' 'bout white noise comin' from the white boys
I can't keep my cowboy boots from stompin'
To that white noise comin' from the white boys
Take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
Tractor pulls and rodeos, county fairs and bluegrass shows
It ain't a thing 'bout black and white
It's Johnny Cash and Charley Pride
It what I call white noise comin' from the real mccoys
I can't keep my cowboy boots from stompin'
To that white noise comin' from the real mccoys
Take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
Take me where those honky's are a-tonkin'
Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire?
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher?
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down?
Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover?
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over?
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way
If I gave you my hand would you take it and make me the happiest man in the world?
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl?
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea, let me know if you're really a dream?
I love you so, so would you go with me?
Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together?
Could you not look down forever if you were lighter than a feather?
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me?
If I gave you my hand would you take it and make me the happiest man in the world?
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl?
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea, help me tie up the ends of a dream?
I gotta know, would you go with me?
Baby why don't we just turn that TV off?
Three hundred fifteen channels
Of nothing but bad news on
Well, it might be me, but the way I see it
The whole wide world has gone crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?
This little bitty living room ain't gonna look like much
But when the lights go down and we move the couch
It's gonna be more than enough
For my two left feet and our two hearts beatin'
Nobody's gonna see us go crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?
Down the hall, maybe straight up the stairs
Bouncin' off the wall, floatin' on air
Baby, why don't we just dance?
Baby, why don't you go put your best dress on?
Those high heeled shoes you love to lose
As soon as the tunes come on
On second thought, just the way you are
Is already drivin' me crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?
Down the hall, maybe straight up the stairs
Bouncin' off the wall, floatin' on air
Baby, why don't we just dance?
Well it might be me but the way I see it
The whole wide world has gone crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
You can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece.
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece.
Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum,
Dodging lions and wastin' time.
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly
stand to see 'em,
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory,
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece.
Sailin' round the world in a dirty gondola.
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
I left Rome and landed in Brussels,
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried.
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles,
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside.
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
I love the way it feels
To sit behind the wheel
Of a brandnew automobile
I love the way
A song can start to play
And take you back to younger days
[Chorus]
I've known that kind of love
You feel it for awhile and then its gone
But girl tonight
Holding you
I realize that I've never known
This kind of love
Sometimes its hard
To let down your guard
And trust somebody with your heart
I know how
It feels when they walk out
And leave it in pieces on the ground
[Chorus]
Oh I've known that kind of love
You feel it for awhile and then its gone
But girl tonight
Holding you
I realize that I've never known
This kind of love
It's deeper and stronger
And lasts a whole lot longer
It's more than a word that people say
[Chorus]
Because I've known that kind of love
You feel it for awhile and then its gone
But girl tonight
Holding you
I realize that I've never known
This kind of love
This kind of love
He always wore those worn out flip-flops
Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop
he loved being on the water
Fishing with His friends
He always listened to the old folks
When they'd tell stories and crack jokes
Didn't talk back to his Mama
When she got onto Him
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
Had to finish all His chores 'fore He could go outside and play
they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray
And that's just the way He was raised
He grew His hair out when He got older
Grew it clear down to His shoulders
Started hanging with the outcasts
When He went off to town
Some called Him a troublemaker
Even some said a lawbreaker
No matter how they talked about Him
He never put nobody down
'Cause that's just the way He was raised
When people start to gossip, He'd just walk away
He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
On a cross, on a hill
That longhaired boy was killed
All our sins washed away
When He walked out of that grave
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
there's no way we can measure
The sacrifice He made
He knew He had to die
For our debt to be paid
Oh, that's just the way He was raised
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away
And that's just the way He was raised
[josh turner]
i know i gotta put in the hours,
make the money while the sunlight shines
but anything i gotta get done,
it can get done some other time
time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be,
time is love, gotta run
i only get so many minutes,
don't wanna spend 'em all on the clock
in the time that we spent talkin',
how many kisses have i lost?
time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be,
time is love, gotta run.
gotta fly
before one moment
gets by…
time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be
time is love, gotta run,
love to hang longer,
but i got someone who waits,
waits for me and right now
she's where i need to be,
time is love, gotta run.
The Longer The Waiting [The Sweeter The Kiss]
Written by Pat McLaughlin and Roger Cook
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know
Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
It's a hard way of living but I know it well
And if I surrender my life to the sea
You can marry another it's alright with me
Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring
Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
I will remember you all winter long
And when I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
The sweeter the kiss
When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
I'll come back from wherever I've been
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know
Forever I know
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know
I used to think that I was living big
Bet my money on almost anything
Time and time, I got caught struggling
Oh, I had plans, I had dreams
And I had an open bar policy
Spending time tryin' to numb the pain
Lost my family just to gain a friend
Oh, strange faces I didn't need
I'm on a highway
Ain't going no place
Ain't got nowhere to run
I think this deal is done
Traveling goin' nowhere fast
My folks used to tell me
Turner stop and think
Don't waste your whole life
Doing selfish things
Hurting your loved ones
Just to get yourself a stir
There comes a time when
You gotta let it be
I thank the Lord
He had his hands on me
Not really thinking
I had sunken deep
I looked all around
And I was standing all alone
I had dug my myself a hole
I'm on a highway
Ain't going no place
Ain't got nowhere to run
I think this deal is done
Traveling goin' nowhere fast
And I looked around
And I was standing all alone
I had dug my myself a hole
I'm on a highway
Ain't going no place
Ain't got nowhere to run
I think this deal is done
Traveling goin' nowhere fast
I'm on a highway
A lonesome byway
You know, I don't know where to start
With changes on my heart
Traveling goin' nowhere fast
Traveling goin' nowhere fast
Baby if I seem a little bit distracted
Like I'm in another place and another time, well, well
I apologize for the way I'm actin'
I just gotta lot of lovin' you on my mind
Baby since this mornin', I've been wonderin'
How you do that thing you did last night, well, well
Let me tell you girl that was really somethin'
That's why I gotta lot of lovin' you on my mind
CHORUS: I walk around and dream about you Every single minute of every day It's all I can do to make it through until the night I can hardly wait, oh, I can hard wait
Girl, the kind of lovin' you put on me
Ain't no way there's a better kind
So baby, just tell me when you want me
I always gotta lot of lovin' you on my mind
Monday mornin' got my work boots on
My checkbook tells me that my money is gone
Gotta little honey dependin' on me
To take her to town at the end of the week
We'll find a parkin' spot so we can reconnect
As soon as I get my Friday paycheck
We'll get a chili cheese dog at the bowlin' lane
I'm still a workin' on that perfect game
Maybe catch a movie when my arm goes numb
Wrap it around her when the good part comes
I may look like an old redneck
But I'm a high-roller with a Friday paycheck
Everybody knows I like to have a good time
I just gotta stay above that poverty line
Food on the table, roof over head
Leave somethin' to my young 'uns when I wind up dead
You never know what life will throw at you next
I'm countin' down the days 'til my Friday paycheck
Wish I could tell the foreman when I'm under the gun
Take this job and shove it son
I keep it to myself 'cause I've gotta get paid
And dance with my baby at the end of the day
I'm a yellin' at the band when they're doin' sound
check
Why don't you give me some Cash with my P-P-Paycheck
[Johnny that is]
Everybody knows I like to have a good time
I just gotta stay above that poverty line
Food on the table, roof over head
Leave somethin' to my young 'uns when I wind up dead
You never know what life will throw at you next
I'm countin' down the days 'til my Friday paycheck
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
You never know what life will throw at you next
I'm countin' down the days 'til my Friday paycheck
Yeah
When I look in her eyes
It ain't no suprise
Sparks start a flyin' like the 4th of July
She gets me so hot my heart starts a pumpin'
When we get to kissin' there ain't no stopin'
When it comes to love she ain't no slacker
My little darlin' is a Fircracker
When I light the fuse I gotta get back quick
You gotta be careful with a dynamite stick
Son of a gun she's fun to handle
and she packs a punch like a roman candle
She's a pack of black cats in a red paper wrapper
My little darlin' is a Firecracker
[Chorus]
We might not oughta take a roll in the hay
Cause we'll burn the barn down a one of these days
We're a match made in Heaven and it ain't no joke
But I'd sure hate to see it go up in smoke
We gotta good thing goin' and if feels so right
She's a Firecracker
She's the light of my life
She goes off with a great big bang
Boys I tell ya' it's a beautiful thing
When she takes off you better hang on tight
She's a blonde bottle rocket in the middle of the night
When she makes love she's a heartattacker
My little darlin' is a Firecracker
[Chorus]
uhuh
Yea, we gotta good thing going and it feels so right
She's a Firecarcker
She's the light of my life
We gotta good thing goin' and it feels so right
She's a Firecracker
She's the light of my life
She's a Firecracker she's the light of my life
Firecracker
Firecracker
Ooooooo
Firecracker (sssssss)
Firecracker
Bang
Firecracker
There's a buncha' good women in this big ol' World
When I met you, I found the perfect girl
But it ain't easy being your man
Dealing with there feeling, I do the best I can
CHORUS:
'Cause I can't eat and I can't sleep
Because I can't believe how you're loving me
It's a full time job, but I'm alright with that
Loving you, that's a Good Problem to have
Been savin' up for a big screen TV
But I spent it all on a wedding ring
I'm gonna lose my freedom when we walk down the aisle
But I'll be free to love you and get lost in your smile
CHORUS:
But I can't eat and I can't sleep
Because I can't believe how you're loving me
It's a full time job, but I'm alright with that
Loving you, that's a Good Problem to have (sure is)
REPEAT CHORUS:
You know, I can't eat and I can't get no sleep
And I can hardly believe how you're loving me
It's a full time job,I'm alright with that!
Loving you, that's a Good Problem to have
She's as pretty as a model on tv
you gotta see her to believe me
that little lollipop will really make your jaw drop
you get to starin' you can't stop
sweet as a honey beehive
she got my attention from the get go
she goes a walkin on by
she's lookin so fine
she's a little piece of eye candy
when the lord made that little looker
he must of used a whole lotta sugar
maybe that's the reason that I crave her
so much flavor, all the time
sweet as a honey beehive
she got my attention from the get go
she goes a walkin on by
she's lookin so fine
she's a little piece of eye candy
she gets me higher than anything can
she melts my heart when she's holdin my hand
let me tell you somethin bout her kisses
they ain't nutritious, but they're delicious
if you're looking for a woman who's a goddess
or the hottest, she's it.
sweet as a honey beehive
she got my attention from the get go
she goes a walkin on by
she's lookin so fine
sweet as a honey beehive
she got my attention from the get go
she goes a walkin on by
she's lookin so fine
she's a little piece of eye candy
My chances weren't good, she was way out of my reach
How could she ever fall for some ol' boy like me
But here she lies asleep tonight in these arms of mine
And that goes to show angels fall sometimes
She's been here long enough to see that I'm no saint by now
Every mornin' I wakeup surprised to find her still around
The love that she gives to me could be no truer sign
Every now and then angels fall sometimes
She brings pieces of Heaven every day into my life
She's been my inspiration with her by my side
I'm not afraid to dream high
The love that she gives to me could be no truer sign
Every now and then angels fall sometimes
Woke up at 5 am, put on my camouflage
Wiped off my .243 and fired up my dodge
Headed out to my old deerstand back in the pines
Gonna get me a ten point buck with 11 inch tines, yeah
Settled in, hiddin from the wind, waitin on the sun
You might end up being my supper if you get in the way of my gun
It's so still I can hear the train from ten miles away
If I'm here eight hours from now it'll be ok, yeah
Cause I'm a backwoods boy
Grew up on a dirt road
I'm a backwoods boy
With no better place to go
Waitin' on a deer, wishin' on a star
I'll always be true to my heart
Cause I'm a backwoods boy
I'm a backwoods boy
Sittin' on the back of Lynches
River with a little campfire
Sleepin' on the ground, diggin'
The sound of a backwoods choir
Talkin to the man in the moon
Way up in the sky
He told me to let my worries
Roll on by
Cause I'm a backwoods boy
Grew up on a dirt road
I'm a backwoods boy
With no better place to go
Waitin' on a deer, wishin' on a star
I'll always be true to my heart
Cause I'm a backwoods boy
(Verse 1)
Baby, I know that you've been waiting patiently,
For a man to give you all that you need,
And love you like he should.
Sticking to your guns, looking for the right one.
Just somebody who treats you good.
It took me a while but I got here as fast as I could.
(Chorus)
I ran full speed ahead,
Without stopping to rest.
Not knowing where I was running too.
Now that i'm here,
It's perfectly clear.
That I was making my way to you.
Can't believe how long it took.
But I got here as fast as I
(Verse 2)
I've ended up on at least 100 dead end roads,
Where my heart and I just end up broke.
Lost and misunderstood.
I tried to rush finding true love,
It didn't pan out how I thought it would.
It took me some time,
But I got here as fast as I could.
(Chorus)
I ran full speed ahead,
Without stopping to rest.
Not knowing where I was running too.
Now that i'm here,
It's perfectly clear.
That I was making my way to you.
Can't believe how long it took.
But I got here as fast as I could.
I ran full speed ahead,
Without stopping to rest.
Not knowing where I was headed too.
Now that i'm here,
It's perfectly clear.
That I was making my way to you.
Can't believe how long it took.
But I got here as fast as I could.
our smile will always be one of my favorite things like backwood barbecue's and front porch swings and evenin' breezes through window screens
your smile makes me feel just like a child inside like Christmas mornin' sparkling red and bright and Grandpa's pipe, and my first bike
your smile like daylight dripping through the mountain pines, pure sunshine, summertime, your smile like a wheat field in the southern breeze, apple trees, sweet and right
your smile so much joy from such a simple thing, like and old wheelbarrow filled with summer rain , a blue sky day , and sun on my face and your SMILE :)
your smile like daylight dripping through the mountain pines, pure sunshine, summertime, your smile like a wheat field in the southern breeze, apple trees, sweet and right
The first noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shephards in fields as they lay
In fields where they, lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night, that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Isreal
For all to see, there was a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far
And to the Earth, it gave great light
And so it continued for day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Isreal
And by the light, of that same star
The wisemen came from country far
To seek for a king, was their intent
And to follow the star, wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Isreal
Then led a song, with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly lord
Who heath lay heaven and Earth unknown
And with his blood mankind have born
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Isreal
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
There's no hurry
Don't you worry we can take our time
Come a little closer
Let's go over what I had in mind
Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
Ain't nobody ever love nobody
The way that I love you
We're alone now
You don't know how long I've wanted to
Lock the door and turn the lights down low
Put some music on that's soft and slow
Baby we ain't got no place to go
I hope you understand
I've been thinking 'bout this all day long
Never felt a feeling that was quite this strong
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
I can't believe how much it turns me on
Just to be your man
Uptowns got it hustlers
The bowery's got its bums
42nd street got big jim walker
He's a pool shootin' son of a gun
Yeah he's big and dumb as a man can come
But he's stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call big jim boss
And they say
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
Well outta south alabama come a country boy
He said I'm looking for a man named jim
I am a pool shootin boy
My name is Willie McCoy
But down home they call me slim
Yeah I'm lookin for the king of forty second street
He drivin' a drop top cadillac
And last week he took all my money
And it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
And everybody say
Jack, don't you know
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
Well a hush fell over the pool room
When Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
And when the cutting was done
The only thing that wasn't bloody
Was the souls of the big mans feet
Yeah he was cut in bout a hundred places
And he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They sung a diffrent kinda story
When big Jim hit the floor, uh huh
Now they say
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
Now they say
You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim
You don't pull the mask of the ol' lone ranger
I have been around
This old block before
I've walked into abruptly closign doors
Schooled in hard knocks, I've learned alot
'Bout how a heart can brake
I might not know what love is
But I know what it ain't
It aint layin' in the dark and wonderin' why she hasnt called
And now it's 2 am
It ain't driving by her house to find her wrapped up in the arms of you ex-best friend
It ain't bold face lies or alibies that cannot be explained
I might not know what love is
But I know what it ain't
You say you could
Show me how to love
Baby there's one thing
You can be sure of
I wouldn't treat you wrong cause I've been on
The hurting side of pain
I might not know what love is but I know what it aint
It ain't showing up for dinner with a rose and chardonnay
Then drinkin by yourself
It ain't a postcard from Hawaii sayin' we can still be friends
But I met someone else
It ain't bold face lies or alibies that cannot be explained
I might not know what love is
But I know what it ain't
It ain't a mink coat, forty pairs of shoes, two 14 karet anklets on my mastercard
It ain't walkin in a pawn shop, recognizing her engagement ring she swore she lost
It ain't bold face lies or alibies that cannot be explained
I might not know what love is
But I know what it ain't
If you had all day I could tell you things
That would make a grown man faint
I might not know what love is
But I know what it ain't
I grew up workin' on a farm, way down South
I went to school against my will, way down South
I kissed girls and I shot squirrels out behind my house
I learned a lot about this world, way down South
I went to church, sang a lot of hymns, way down South
I learned to work on my pickup truck, way down South
I played my guitar under the stars, out behind our house
You will always find my heart, way down South
Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio, talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' pass when I'm cuttin' grass
Wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down South
Way down South
Swimmin' in the creek with all my friends, way down South
Prayin' them days would never end, way down South
Give me a worm and a fishin' pole, I'll pull a fish on out
Those memories will never get old, way down South
Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio, talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' pass when I'm cuttin' grass
Wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down South
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down South
Way down South, way down South
Mmmmmmm....
I grew up in South Carolina
Singing all them bluegrass and country songs
I'd sing from Hannah down to Charlestowne
Getting all the people to sing along to what I call
South Carolina low country
Southern words with an old Sandlapper tune
Palmetto trees swaying in that Atlantic breeze
Reaching up to touch the crescent moon
South Carolina low country
Is the music that comes outta me
I remember standing in the warm sunshine
Working my fingers to the bone
Singing as I suckered down that ole drag row
I came up with a music all my own it;s what I call
South Carolina low country
Southern words with an old Sandlapper tune
Palmetto trees swaying in that Atlantic breeze
Reaching up to touch the crescent moon
South Carolina low country
Is the music that comes outta me
God bless Wade Hampton and The Swamp Fox
Their strength will stand the test of time
They fought for a flag, a state, and a way of life
because of that you will always find me singing my
South Carolina low country
Oh, the sound in my heart will always be
South Carolina low country
That's the music that comes outta me
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals
He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
O for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned,
he has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me
Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary, come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Don't leave me I cry
Don't take no airplane ride
But you've locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Don't leave me I cry
Don't take no airplane ride
But you've locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
If you've got a little girl, you better take the time
To go to her tea parties and give her a piggyback ride
Be a dragon or a dinosaur every chance you get
Cause one day you can bet
She'll go on you
Before you turn can around
And it's so lonley watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
Cause this preacious little thing that we call time
She'll go on you
If you got a special one
You better love her everyday
Leave her notes on the fridgerater door
And send her sweet bouquets
Always be her confidant
A safe place for her to rest
Or that little thing you call you happiness
She'll go on you
Before you turn around
And it's so lonley watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
Take her in your arms and do her right
She'll go on you
If you've got you momma there
You outta thank her everyday
For nursin' all your colds and
Sittin' up when you'd stay out late
Now all her hair is grey, and every year she's not as strong
One of these days before to long
She'll go on you
Before you turn around
And it's so lonley watchin' that
Fast train leavin' town
Better cherish her every second of your life
Cause before you get the chance to goodbye
She'll go on you
Yeah this preacious little thing that we call life
She jumped into the last one, heart and soul and all.
He tripped her up, she started to fall.
Awe but it felt so right, a little too much so.
And he found out a little more than he needed to know.
Chorus
Yeah, well she loves too much, falls too hard,
Welcomes a touch and undresses her heart,
Gives up too quick, cries on a dime,
Finds the same man she had last time.
Yeah one of these days it will be alright,
She'll give him a chance, more than just one night.
He'll make mistakes like the rest of us do,
And then figure it out and fall in love with her too.
She's never been good at playing hard to get,
You'd think she learned it hasn't worked yet.
Yeah but she can't change,
She's too honest for that as her heart hits him square like a baseball bat.
Chorus
Yeah, well she loves too much, falls too hard,
Welcomes a touch and undresses her heart,
Gives up too quick, cries on a dime,
Finds the same man she had last time.
Yeah one of these days it will be alright,
She'll give him a chance, more than just one night.
He'll make mistakes like the rest of us do,
And then figure it out and fall in love with her too.
She gave him a car to use while she was gone.
Came back to lipstick and love songs on.
She had a key made so he could spend the night.
But too much trust just started a fight.
Chorus
Yeah, well she loves too much, falls too hard,
Welcomes a touch and undresses her heart,
Gives up too quick, cries on a dime,
Finds the same man she had last time.
Yeah one of these days it will be alright,
She'll give him a chance, more than just one night.
He'll make mistakes like the rest of us do,
I feel it in the morning when I fall out of bed
I never get a break and I can't get ahead
I'm up against the ropes, shaking in my shoes
I take it on my chin, tellin' black and blue
I'm a punching bag
I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag
I'm backed into a corner with a Foreman in my face
I can't fight my way out of this place
But I learned to be tough right out of the box
I've graduated from the school of Hard Knox
I'm a punching bag
I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag
Hit me all you want to, I've got pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you
When I swing back again
She broke a promise and now she's gonna leave
When she floated like a butterfly it stung me like a bee
She took off the gloves and took a cheap shot
She left me hanging in a pretty tough spot
I'm a punching bag
I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag
Hit me all you want to, I've got pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you
When I swing back again
I wanna set the records straight
Every day life is a heavy weight
You can tear me up, there ain't no doubt
But you ain't never gonna knock me out
I'm a punching bag
I'm a punching bag
I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag
Yea, I've had enough of getting beat up
I'm a punching bag
Hit me all you want to, I've got pretty thick skin
Don't count me out, I just might surprise you
If you told me that you love me
I would feel so proud
If you'd let me hold you honey
I'd holler out loud
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh, come to me baby, I'm a one woman man
Won't you let me, baby
Just a kind of hang around
I'll always love you honey
And I'll never let you down
I'll never love another
Even if I can
Well, come to me baby
I'm a one woman man
I'd climb the highest mountain
If it reached up to the sky
To prove that I love you
I'd jump off and fly
I'd even swim the ocean
From shore to shore
To prove that I love you
A little bit more
If you told me that you love me
I would feel so proud
If you'd let me hold you honey
I'd holler out loud
I'll never love another even if I can
Oh, come to me baby, I'm a one woman man
Come to me baby
Like any other would be country singin' sensation
I had no visible means of transportation
One Saturday mornin' I was searchin' the ads
When I found one that I wanted and I wanted it bad
(He found one that he wanted and he wanted it bad)
I called up the salesmen, he said, c'mon in
I've got the Lincoln right here belonged to Loretta Lynn
The Coalminer's Daughter used to drive it to town
It's yours for a song and five hundred down
(He said, it's yours for a song and five hundred down)
I said, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
Yeah, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
I had no idea what that dealer was thinkin'
But he totted the note on Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
Well, I throwed my ol' guitar in that big back seat
And I steared her on out on to Dameron Street
Them other cars pulled over like the red sea had parted
It was then I had a vision of Dolly Parton
(Right there he had a vision of Dolly Parton)
She said, ain't that Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
Yeah, it's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
She said, I thought I recognized them two headlights blinkin'
I do declare, that there's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
Dolly said, slide over J Otis, let me take you downtown
Miss Loretta's waitin' for us at the Orchid Lounge
I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe my eyes
Why she was wavin' from the curb and we drove by
Well, we turned that big rig around, right on a dime
I ain't seen nothin' like that since Red Solvine (Red Solvine)
That's what Loretta was sayin' as she hopped in the back
Then she said, hey, Hoss, ain't this my old Cadillac
No mame, Miss Loretta, this ain't your Cadillac
It's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln (Loretta)
Yeah,Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
(It's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln)
The radio was on and we was all lipsinkin'
Ridin' 'round Nashville in Loretta Lynn's Lincoln, whooo
I heard a tappin' on the window as I woke up
Neath an old newspaper in my pickup truck
The policeman said, boy, you better hit the road jack
Get that bucket of bolts back across the tracks
Officer, this here's Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
(And he said) son, that ain't Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
Yeah, I was wakin' up and my dreams were sinkin'
Like them ol' springs on Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
Yeah, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln (Loretta, Loretta)
Whooo, Loretta Lynn's Lincoln
(That is Loretta Lynn's Lincoln)
If you ever get to wonderin' what I was a-dreamin'
Lately it takes both of us to drive this old chevy
The way that you keep kissin' me is gettin' hot and
heavy
I'll drive a million miles just to walk down the aisle
beside you
This feelin' between us is makin' it obvious what we
gotta do
Let's find a church
Any one will work
Be it Baptist Methodist Lutheran episcipalion
How bout a country chapel A city tabernacle
As long as we can say I do I'm gonna marry you
And be the luckiest man on this earth
Well I can't wait much longer lets find a church
It may be late but we'll try to wake up
Some ole preacher
And if that don't work we'll settle for a deacon or a
Sunday school teacher
We're in a hurry so baby don't worry bout no dress
It don't matter if my jeans are tattered
Or if your hair's a mess
Let's find a church
Any one will work
Be it Baptist Methodist Lutheran presbyterian
How bout a country chapel A city tabernacle
As long as we can say I do I'm gonna marry you
And be the luckiest man on this earth
Well I can't wait much longer let's find a church
Let's find a church
Any one will work
Be it Baptist Methodist Lutheran pentacostal
How bout a country chapel A city tabernacle
As long as we can say I'm gonna marry you
And be the luckiest man on this earth
This feelin's gettin' stronger let's find a church
Some men dream of crossing oceans
Some men dream one day to fly
Spend their whole lives out there floatin'
On the water and the sky
Some men dream of building fortunes
Some men dream of having fame
Nothing else is more important
Than making money and a name
But in my dreams I see a little sky blue house
Beside a small stream a front porch, screen door
The sound of bare feet runnin' and cartoons
In my dreams, your dreams come true
I come find you in your garden
Pulling weeds between the rows
Trade a kiss for a glass of water
Sit and watch what love can grow
In my dreams I see a little sky blue house
Beside a small stream a front porch, screen door
The sound of bare feet running and cartoons
In my dreams, your dreams come true
In my dreams, your dreams are the only things
That really matter to me when you smile I smile
What makes you happy makes me happy too
In my dreams, your dreams come true
Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kind a mad
I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world a live.
My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
And I was livin'g high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
I was only hatched.
Ev'rything's agin' me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would prob'ly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or
tails.
I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright nohow
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
I could buy a Sunday suit and it would leave me broke
If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
When you need picked up ‘cause you fell down Need a piggyback ride or a birthday clown
Need a song to take you to sleepy town I'll be there When you need a coach or you need a
fan Need a castle built out of ocean sand Or a rainbow chaser, I'm your man I'll be there
Chorus: I'll be a tear dryer A paper airplane flyer A monster runner-offer if you
get scared I'll be a sap I'll be a sucker A story maker-upper Anytime, anything,
anywhere I'll be there When you break your heart or skin your knee Need a big ol' hug
or a bowl of ice cream I promise you can count on me Chorus: I'll be a heart mender
A prayer sender A hoper and believer when it's all up in the air A strong and stead
shoulder I'll be a secret holder Anytime, anything, anywhere I'll be there If you
need a frown turned to a grin Or you need a hand just to hold your hand Need a daddy or
There's a slow moon rising, it's shining on your skin
The way your body moves me, I know there's
No holding back, no holding back
CHORUS:
I wouldn't be a man if I didn't feel like this
I wouldn't be a man if a woman like you
Was anything I could resist
I'd have to be from another planet
Where love doesn't exist
I wouldn't be a man if I didn't feel like this
I can feel passion flowing as you fall into my arms
The secret way you touch me tell's me there's
No holding back, no holding back
Rock and roll with me baby all night long
Soul to soul with me baby all night long
I'd have to be from another planet
Where love doesn't exist
I was there that night in Bethlehem
And when Neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can
At Gettysburg, Omaha beach, in Vietnam
I heard every soldier's cry and mom's prayer
I was there
I was there when you took your first breath
And when you lit that stolen Lucky Strike and like the choke to death
When you were waist deep in Carter's Creek
And preacher John dunked you down in the water and raised you up for air
I was there
I'm always around
I was then and I am now
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
When a road comes to an end
I'm where you start again
I'm never farther than a word away
You've always got a friend
When your grandma passed, I was in that house
And when your grandpa ran down the street to go to show her around
I was there
I'm always around
I was then and I am now
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
When a road comes to an end
I'm where you start again
I'm never farther than a word away
You've always got a friend
I was there last night on highway 9
When you answered the phone and ran right through that stop sign
I was in the cab, in that bigger rig, in that trucker's ear
They then swerve to the right and miss you by a hair
I was there
If you're feeling alone look up on the One who answers prayers
I sure do like your cadillac
Brings lots of memories back
I always felt like a star
Drivin' around in that car
'Cause I had one one time
Oh I had one one time
You probaly think I'm lyin'
But I had one one time
Have you got a job that you love
Each day you can't wait to get up
You feel proud when you draw your pay
Would you be surprised if I say
I had one one time
Oh I had one one time
Now I hold a cardboard sign
But I had one one time
I bet you've got a good friend
You always hang out on weekends
Since high school you've been thick as thieves
Well I bet youd never believe
I had one one time
Oh I had one one time
Somewhere along the line
But I had one one time
That beautiful girl beside you is probably your wife
Man, you've got it all, I'd say you live quite a life
I had one one time
Oh I had one one time
Maybe I've lost my mind
He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you
I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
(Chorus)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
(Spoken)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good
First time I saw her in them cut off jeans.
I knew that I'd be in for a treat.
Next thing I knew she had me tongue-tied.
She had me shakin' from my head to my feet.
Never should'a underestimated her eyes.
Her smile or them long, long legs.
Now she's got me down on my hands and knees.
And all I can do is beg.
Haywire
She's got me goin' haywire
I'll never get tired.
Never seen a woman do what she can do.
Inspired
She's got my soul feelin' inspired
And full o' desire
She's hotter than fire.
She's got me goin' haywire.
Haywire
Every time we take a little ride in my truck
She likes the country turned way up
Do a little dancin' on a long dirt road.
She likes to show me the definition of love.
Take a little dip in the river at night.
Way out under the stars
Fresh air is good for a country girl.
And that country girl is good for my heart.
Haywire She's got me goin' haywire I'll never get tired. Never seen a woman do what she can do. Inspired She's got my soul feelin' inspired And full o' desire She's hotter than fire. She's got me goin' haywire. Haywire
Haywire She's got me goin' haywire I'll never get tired. Never seen a woman do what she can do. Inspired She's got my soul feelin' inspired And full o' desire She's hotter than fire. She's got me goin' haywire. Haywire
She's hotter than fire
She's got me goin' haywire
I got a home down on the river
I'm married to the woman of my dreams
Got a good truck that gets me down the highway
Everything is perfect or so it seems
Momma and daddy come by sometimes
And everything is fine
My old dog does a little singing
Late at night when the moon gets bright
Sunday morning hear the church bells ringing
Let us go and see who's getting baptized
We gonna take us a Sunday drive
Cause everything is fine
Everything is fine, fine, fine
Through the sunshine and the rain
I got a peace of mind
You know I can't complain
I make it a point to thank the Lord
When I got Him on the line
I'm feeling good and everything is fine
Got the same job down at the warehouse
Ain't never been rich but I sleep at night
Got a little girl that looks like her mamma
She likes it when her daddy tucks her in real tight
One night this week we're gonna have a fish fry
Cause everything is fine, fine, fine
Through the sunshine and the rain
I got a peace of mind
You know I can't complain
I make it a point to thank the Lord
When I got Him on the line
I'm feeling good and everything is fine
Wahoo!!
I make it a point to thank the Lord
When I got Him on the line
I'm feeling good and everything is fine
You can take a lesson from an old coal miner
Go and get you a shovel and dig clear to China
But there's nothing, no, there's nothing
Deeper than my love
You can drop in the ocean in a deep diving submarine
You can sit on the bottom, down where there's to see
But there's nothing, no, there's nothing
Deeper than my love
Girl it ain't nothing better than you and me together
It's now and forever right down to the letter
And I won't ever, never ever get enough
'Cause there's nothing deeper than my love
Girl you know I want you down in my country's home
You can look into my eyes as far as you wanna go
'Cause there's nothing, no, there's nothing
Deeper than my love
You know there ain't nothing better than you and me together
It's now and forever right down to the letter
And I won't ever, never ever get enough
'Cause there's nothing deeper than my love
No, it ain't nothing better than you and me together
It's now and forever right down to the letter
And I won't ever, never ever get enough
'Cause there's nothing deeper than my love
No, it ain't nothing bigger as far as I can figure
It ain't nothing longer, it ain't nothing stronger
Baby I'm yours sure as there's a Lord above
And there's nothing deeper than my love
Deeper than my love
Well, the weatherman says it's gonna be a hot one
Heard it on the radio
Load up the boat, get your girl if you got one
Nice little breeze gonna blow
Baby, I'm on my way to come and get you
Meet me at the end of your drive
Grab your shades and your string bikini
And your Coppertone 45
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the good time
Girl, let me look at you
Jump in the front seat, kick up your bare feet
Honey, let your hair down too
I know a spot down on the river
Underneath a sycamore tree
Save all your kisses up, bring on your sweet love
Pour it all over me, all over me
We can build us a fire when we run outta daylight
Let it light up your face
Lay on a blanket, listen to the river
Get a little carried away
Well, I can taste that kiss on your sweet lips
Ain't gonna want it to end
So when the morning comes we'll roll on out
And do it all over again
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the good time
Girl, let me look at you
Jump in the front seat, kick up your bare feet
Honey, let your hair down too
I know a spot down on the river
Underneath a sycamore tree
Save all your kisses up, bring on your sweet love
Pour it all over me, all over me
Bring on the sunshine, bring on the good time
Girl, just look at you
Jump in the front seat, kick up your bare feet
Honey, let your hair down too
I know a spot down on the river
Underneath a sycamore tree
Save all your kisses up, bring on your sweet love
Pour it all over me, all over me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Lady, let's go for a ride
I'll be more than happy to drive
Down an old country road
We can just take it slow
I just want you by my side
You want somebody to love you right and I can
I'm gonna be your left hand man
I'm gonna put a ring on your finger
We'll hire a wedding singer
Invite everybody in town
Put a good preacher in the middle
We'll make it official
We'll dance ‘til the sun goes down
I can't wait to get to show off my wedding band
I'm gonna be your left hand man
I know it may sound kind of strange
But girl, let me try to explain
I wanna be a man you could count on
A shoulder you can cry on
I'll love you through anything
We'll get some rocking chairs and a house and a little bit of land
I'm gonna be your left hand man
I'm gonna put a ring on your finger
We'll hire a wedding singer
Invite everybody in town
Put a good preacher in the middle
We'll make it official
We'll dance ‘til the sun goes down
I can't wait to get to show off my wedding band
I'm gonna be your left hand man
I just want us to be together
Side by side forever
No matter where we are
Even when we're six feet under
They'll never have to wonder
If we ever drifted apart
This note took a lifetime
For you to really understand
That I'll always be your left hand man
Your left hand man
I grew up workin' on a farm, way down south
I went to school against my will, way down south
I kissed girls and I shot squirrels, out behind my house
I learned a lot about this world, way down south
I went to church, sang a lot of hymns, way down south
I learned to work on my pickup truck, way down south
I played my guitar under the stars, out behind our house
You will always find my heart, way down south
Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio, talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' pass when I'm cuttin' grass, wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down south
Way down south
Swimmin' in the creek with all my friends, way down south
Prayin' them days would never end, way down south
Give me a worm and a fishin' pole, I'll pull a fish on out
Those memories will never get old, way down south
Clothes on a clothes line, hangin' in the sunshine
A garden growin' in the ground
Country music on the radio, talk about a good ol' sound
People drivin' pass when I'm cuttin' grass, wavin' at every single one
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down south
That's the way it's done when you come from, way down south
Some folks will do anything for money
Cheat and lie and steal
Won't even take the time to go to church on Sunday
But they got plenty of time to make a deal
Please forgive me if I ever act like that
That ain't the way I wanna be
I pray every night that everything I do before the love of God
For the love of God is why I try so hard
I ain't tryin' to win the praise of man
I live for the love of God
Some people only want to have a good time
Drinking and carryin' home
They get behind the wheel and the next thing you know
Somebody's trout is gone
Please forgive me if I ever act like that
That ain't the way I wanna be
I pray every night that everything I do before the love of God
For the love of God is why I try so hard
I ain't tryin' to win the praise of man
I live for the love of God
For the love of God is why I try so hard
I ain't tryin' to win the praise of man
I live for the love of God
I ain't tryin' to win the praise of man
She left me in the darkness, all alone
She abandoned all the good times
And the love I thought we had
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the isle
Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
With every earth filled shovel
They dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Carrying the dead
Carrying the dead
She don't call me, and she don't try to
And my friend can't bring her back
My eyes are wide open
Watching my future fade to black
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the isle
Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
With every earth filled shovel
They dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Carrying the dead
Carrying the dead
I've pondered trading places
With the man laying in that hearse
I tried to hold my head up
But her leaving, is like a curse
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, walking down the isle
Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
With every earth filled shovel
They dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer
Carrying the dead
Carrying the dead
If I'da lied, if I'da cheated, I'd understand
I've tried my best to be the perfect man
Now all I really wanna do is hold ‘er
But all she's given me tonight is a cold shoulder
I wish that she would tell me what she's going through
Or go ahead and leave me if she's going to
But it's like she hasn't heard a word I've told ‘er
All she's given me tonight is a cold shoulder
I don't know the woman she's turned into
But I do know that she's got my heart turning blue
The more she turns her back, the more the nights get colder
I put all the blame on her, cold shoulder
I wish that she would tell me what she's going through
Or go ahead and leave me if she's going to
But it's like she hasn't heard a word I've told ‘er
All she's given me tonight is a cold shoulder
From the looks of fades it's looking like it's over
And all I've waited on tonight is a cold shoulder
America
Some has said down through history if you last it is a mystery
But I guess they don't what they are talking about
From the mountains down thru the sea you have become such a habit with me
America America
Well I come from, down around Tennessee but the people in California was
Nice to me
America
It don't matter where I may roam to tell you people it is Home Sweet Home
America America
And my brothers all black and white, yellow to and the redman is right to
Except a little from you
Promises then following through America
And the men who fell on the plains and live through hardship and pain
America America
And the men who could not fight in a war that didn't seem right and you let
Them come home America
And my brothers all black and white and yellow to and the redman is right
To except a little from you
Promises then following through America
Well I come from down around Tennessee but the people in California are
Nice to me
America
It don't matter where I may roam to tell you people that it is Home Sweet
Home America America America
