Well, I changed my ways to please that woman
But I could never be good enough
I gave up drinkin' and took up churchin'
And for awhile it wasn't tough
But barkeep I've made a decision
After doing the best I could
That for better or worse
I'm gonna be bad for good
So bring on the whiskey
Turn up the jukebox loud
These boots were made for tonkin'
Warn every woman around
I'm gonna wind it up tonig...
Three feet tall, five years old
Starin' down to the bottom of Mountain Top road,
Hands wrapped tight around those plastic handle grips
I took off flying pickin' up speed
The world was a blur of rocks and weeds
It was all worth the pain of landing
Getting my first three stitches
Everyone said that I shouldn't do it
Cut and bruised but I got through it
I still got the scars to prove it
Life's li...
Things don't always work out like you plan
But you can't let that hold you back from tryin' again
I've been fallin' for you, you need not fear
I've got this propsition I think you should hear
Consider this, living life together
Consider this, seeing the world
Consider this, building a home of our own, a front porch, picket fence and 3 kids
Girl you and I we can't miss
Consider this
Consider th...
I was thinking ?bout the perfect words
To say to that living doll
By the time that I had worked it out
She was half way down the hall
My schoolboy fears of being shot down
Kept that dream from getting off the ground
Lookin back I figured out I thought about it too long
Sometimes you just gotta jump in, get yourself movin?
Countdown the clock is runnin
Sometimes there?s no time to doubt it, jus...
Here we are again and you sure look fine
you smile at me and the sparks just fly
I can't understand why this is taking so long
somebody must have really done you wrong
'Cause everytime I reach for you,
you hold back and i'm so confused
how can you pull away from something so strong
somebody must have really done you wrong
He hurt you bad, and your heart still aches
but why should we pay for hi...
That?s a death defying walk she?s got
Dancing to the parking lot, ooo eighteen
What she does to T-shirts
So good make my eyes hurt, ooo eighteen
Somebody ought to write a song about it, so I did
It makes me wish I was a kid again, eighteen
We were made out of asbestos
Dairy Queen for breakfast at eighteen, eighteen
Rock and roll was king
And cars were everything at eighteen, eighteen
Nobody co...
She?s not easy to get close to
When you?re on the outside looking in
Just when you think you?ve got her figured out
She?ll turn and run away again
She?s got a heart like a hurricane
Causing everyone around her pain
But in the eye of the storm
There?s a place that?s safe and warm
In her heart like a hurricane
If you think you can?t stand the weather
Afraid of running through the rain
Deep insid...
I've been watching you
watchin every girl in the bar
Payin no attention to the one on your arm
You're a dog
Man, she's smokin
I've seen your kind before
and you think you're so cool
This country boy's gonna take you to school
Hold out your hand
no man, I ain't jokin
And hold my beer
While I kiss you're girlfriend
cause she needs a real man
and not a boy like you-ou
hold my beer
yeah I"m a man ...
It's a long, long way from here to you
Tell me, how do I get there?
There's so much I wish I could undo
Tell me, how do I get there?
Can a million wrong turns ever turn me around?
Can I ever un-burn the bridges I've burned to the ground?
Nowhere's too far
And I'd go anywhere
Tell me how do I get there from here?
Your touch is beyond my fingertips
It lingers in me
Your heart is where forgivenes...
Go tell the sheriff, John Roland Wood's found Jesus
Now he's living at the foot of the cross
He testified on the main drag this evening
Said he's gonna spread the gospel to the lost
The meanest sinner to ever live and breathe
Said he's been clean and sober for a week
He said his soul is not troubled anymore
He hocked his gun and gave the money to the Lord
Go tell the sheriff, John Roland Wood'...
Wake me up before you leave
I?d like to hear your voice one more time
If you do I can fall back to sleep
And drift off to dream with a smile
I?ll miss you while you?re gone
When you?re out I?ll get the laundry done
Some times all it takes
Is an unexpected ?I love you?
To wrap your arms around the one that you love
That?s what it?s all about
It?s the little things that count
So when you find th...
Lonely's To The Bone
I took her keys, she took a cab
She made sure the front door slammed
Between the rain and the whiskey the whole thing was still a blur
She caught a plane to San Antone
I got that far then the trail went cold
Since then I haven?t heard a single word from her
Then I found out that
All I?ve lost is all I want
And all I?ll ever need
And I realize the deepest cut
Can take a whi...
my jaw hit the floor the day you walked in
all eyes were pointed in your direction
with nothing to lose i asked you to dance
i didn't think that i'd stand a chance but
chorus:
lucky for me you proved me wrong
proved me wrong
it was a roll of the dice
it was a shot so long
what started out as no hope in hell
has turned out heavenly
so lucky for me
just goes to show you cant judge a book by the ...

Wake up baby it?s time to leave,
We?ve got plans and we?ve got dreams, we?ve got a long way to go.
Pack up all of your emotions, all your faith and devotion.
We?re gonna need it this I know.
If you?re at the edge of the past, our futures unfolding fast.
Baby, don?t look back.
Chorus
We?re going to a new frontier, wide open without fear.
I?ll walk this winding road with you into the great unkno...
ON MY WAY TO YOU
THERE WAS THIS GIRL IN ALBUQUERQUE
I DON'T THINK SHE REALLY MEANT TO HURT ME
BUT SHE DID
SO WHAT DID I DO
MOVED IN WITH A GIRL IN KNEW FROM COLLEGE
IF LOVED WALKED AWAY I NEVER SAW IT
BUT SHE DID
A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS FELL THROUGH
ON MY WAY TO YOU
I HURT I WALKED
I RAN I CRAWLED
LET LOVE MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL
I LOST SOME TIME
SPUN THESE WHEELS OF MINE
SEARCHIN' FOR THE TRU...
Time can make lonely a fools paradise
Thought I was in heaven, alone every night
Before I met you I was perfect
Perfectly Blue
Change doesn?t come easy for the good or the bad
Honey you?re the best thing that I?ve ever had
Before I met you I was perfect
Perfectly blue
I used to cry out in the sun
To the dark side of a love I was accustomed
Then you came along
And turned my whole world
Upside d...
You know I need your love, you got that hold over me
Long as I got your love, you know that I?ll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And it?s been you, woman, right down the line
I know how much I lean on you, only you can see
The changes that I?ve been through have left their mark on me
You?ve been as constant as the northern star
The brightest light that...
I've thought about it, I've analyzed it
You kissin' me verifies it
Ooh, there's something goin' on here
It didn't take too much insistin'
Baby you can be so convincin'
Ooh, there's something goin' on here
No it doesn't take a genius to figure it out
We have this connection
Don't need a psychic to tell us our future's pointed in the right direction
Well take a spin, so jump on in, let's get thi...
Sprintime in Savannah
It don?t get much prettier than this
But it feels like it?s wintertime to me
The sky is clear and the sun is bright
I ain?t looking forward to the night
Cuz a cold chill is all I?m gonna feel
I?m so sorry, I know the fault is mine
I guess there?s nothing left to try
As you pack your bags I cannot deny
This is the last goodbye
We always managed to get through tough times
W...
They say that music calms the savage beast
And helps a heartache settle down
That?s what I need tonight to sooth me
And dull her memory when it comes around
Tipjars and teardrops
Sad songs for lonely hearts
A temporary cure for the blues I got
I get loose when I hear guitars but then the music stops
And all that?s left is tipjars and teardrops
She used to fill my heart with melody
Lovin? words...
I feel like an old guitar
Looking for some brand new strings
Never thought I'd get this far
Without saving anything
For me
Do you still have that smile for me
And could I stay here for a while
I'm looking for a warm safe place
To feel your hand on my face
Let the past roll off of my back
Baby let's not talk about that
I just wanna make it through the night
Lock the door and hide away
I'm looki...
I pulled into Naserath
Was a feelin' 'bouta half past dead.
I just need some place,
where i can lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me
where a man might find a bed.
He just grinned and shook my hand
and "No" was all he said.
Take a load off Annie,
Take a load for free,
Take a load off Annie
and you put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag,
I went a looking for a place to hide.
When I saw C...
An old piece of rope held up his pants
As I backed up he threw up his hands
So, I got out and closed the door
And asked him what he stopped me for
He reached down and picked up a burlap bag
There at the city dump he showed me all he had
A blanket for the colder nights
An old King James and a pocket knife
A worn out watch and a lucky rabbits foot
A picture in a broken frame
He said, ?I wish I k...
Well that's how it is when it's over and done
All bets are off and we both go runnin' for cover
Blamin' eachother
Yeah the grapevine will hum with the fiction or fact
Gets kinda messy in the aftermath of a meltdown
It's always a small, small town
Chorus:
You can doctor the spin when you tell all your friends
But you can't say that I didn't love you
Does it make me a jerk 'cause it just didn't ...
