Here comes the weekend
Sure could use some relaxation to shake these blues
Fill up the cooler with a little good cheer
Hand me my sun shades
I'm checkin' out of here
I'm workin' on a big chill
Lord I'm workin' on a big chill
Hook up the camper, head for the lake
Sit on my tailbone, them fish can wait
Pick up my baby, she's going too
A little skinny dippin', Lord is good for you
I'm workin' on a big chill
I'm workin' on a big chill
Now we ain't leavin' till the suds are gone
Call everybody, there's a party going on
Come Monday morning it's back to the grind
Come on baby, let's have a good time
We'll be workin' on a big chill
We'll be workin' Lord on a big chill
We'll be workin' on a big chill
We'll be workin' baby on a big chill
. . .

Every morning when I wake up
I see you without your makeup
You still take me breath away
Ain't no grass that's any greener
I know there's nothing any sweeter
Than how you make me feel this way
When I look in your eyes
Any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
The whole world's in a hurry
But I don't have to worry
Cause I found what they're looking for
She whispered baby lay your head down
Slips off that flannel nightgown
How could any man ever wish for more
When I look in your eyes
Any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I see your face
I know I found my place
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I look in your eyes
Any fool could realize
Love's standin' right in front of me
When I see your face
I know I found my place
Love's standin' right in front of me
. . .

(feat. Gretchen Wilson)
I'm putting on my favorite cowboy boots
Like a crazy bull rider coming out of the chute
Ready for some dancin', maybe too much beer
Like bare-back rubbin' going on in here
Hey little cowgirl leave the Stetson on
Let's cowboy up and down all night long
She said her name was Levitra Marcantonio
I'm a bare back rider, Okie, don't you know
These frozen margaritas are going to my head
I could not believe it when Levitra said
Hey mister cowboy come on and take me home
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night long
All night long you're coming on strong
All night long come and do me wrong
Hey little cowgirl leave just your Stetson on
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night long
Hey little cowgirl leave just your Stetson on
Gonna cowboy up and down till Levitra's gone
. . .

I'd be out running most every night
We'd always end up in one hell of a fight
The end is comin' there ain't no doubt
But there's just that one thing I can't live without
Won't try to stop you can't change your mind
Been nice to know you, could you leave that sweet thing behind
You take the dishes, the silverware
I'll keep the hound dog and this easy chair
Keep the Ranchero, but that TV is mine
She said,'You can stick that clicker where the sun don't shine'
I know you're leaving can't change your mind
Been nice to know you, could you leave that sweet thing behind
That woman was real mean
My trailer park drama queen
I'm gonna have bad dreams
About missing that sweet thing
Oh Lord, I don't know what I am gonna do
Why's a tornado like a redneck divorce
Either way somebody's bound to lose a mobile home of course
Well that's my story, it's sad but true
I've only got one last request from you
I know you're leaving can't change your mind
Been nice to know you, could you leave that sweet thing behind
I know you're leaving can't change your mind
Been nice to know you, could you leave that sweet thing behind
. . .

It feels like you're at the bottom of an avalanche
You sit and cry cause he don't ever wanna dance
Give me the dice, give me half a chance with you baby
I look for you, just hoping you'll come in tonight
With that fool, the one who never treats you right
If you only knew how bad I burn for you baby
(Chorus)
I'll do what I have to do
I'd beg, borrow, steal cheat and lie for you
I'll put it all on the line if you ask me to
I'll bet it all on you, every time, every dime
I'll bet it all on you
I think it's time for me to finally show my hand
This heart of mine has taken all that it can stand
I ain't blind, I can see you want me too baby
Come on, let's make a run for he parking lot
We can't wait, gotta give this thing a shot
I know it's crazy, but we ain't got a thing to lose
Repeat Chorus twice
. . .

(feat. Rodney Crowell)
There ain't nothing in the bottom of your glass
For a broken heart
You were doing pretty good till she came
And tore your world apart
She found a little younger model
You ran straight for the bottle
There ain't nothing in the bottom of your glass
For a broken heart
Do you find yourself tossin' and a turnin'
In the middle of the night
With a cigarette burning
Staying up until the broad daylight
Well you gotta be going crazy
With another man lovin' on your baby
There ain't nothing in the middle of the night
For a broken heart
(Chorus)
There ain't never been a cure for the lowdown blues
When a woman puts on a pair of walking shoes
You ought to know by now
There's nothing, son, that you can do
For a broken heart
Ain't nothing when the morning finally comes
Gonna change a thing
A little hair of the dog ain't gonna hurt you
Have yourself a drink
She found another lover
I sure feel for you brother
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world for a broken heart
Repeat Chorus
. . .

(feat. Del McCoury)
Have you ever had a thing for a woman
A thing that makes you lose your mind
Everytime I start to think about her
Sends shivers up and down my spine
My daddy was a bit of a rounder
Siad these women are gonna make you go blind
Well I told my old man that I'm right over here
Like the way I see just fine
(Chorus)
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Son of a runnin' kind
I'm the son of a ramblin' man
Come from a long long line
Well I'm just a hillbilly gypsy
Ain't much for settling down
If I thought somebody might miss me
Maybe I'd have to hang around
So I better keep on drifting
Every town just a little too small
Ain't nothin' in the world like a woman
I'm going to try to love them all
Repeat Chorus 3 times
. . .

(feat. Michael McDonald)
I've done some things that I hadn't oughta
Like coming home late with the preacher's daughter
I'd hit the back door seeing double
My ol' man waiting with a fistful of trouble
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you're a winner
Talk about love I ain't no beginner
I'm a sucker for a juke joint jumpin'
I never stop chasin' the scent of a woman
(Chorus)
It's just the way that I've always been
Knock me down, I'm coming back again
I just sing, been there , done that
I come up smilin' song
I've been on top and I've hit the bottom
Tlak about hard times Lord, I've got 'em
Just keep runnin' and go full throttle
There ain't no answer in the bottom of a bottle
Repeat Chorus twice
. . .

(feat. Bekka Bramlett)
Board up the windows
Lock all the doors
Try to remember what a body is for
There's bad weather coming
The red eye's runnin' red
Let's spend that weekend
And never leave that bed
(Chorus)
Turn out the lights like there's no one home
Cut the wires on the telephone
Our hearts are pounding like a hurricane
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain
Makin' love to the rhythm of the pourin' rain
Let's tell ole Monday morning
Please don't come too soon
The storm is still raging
Right here in this room
Oh what a sweet day
To spend our time
Still got a little taste of some real good wine
Repeat Chorus
Oh what a fellin' is gonna fill my brain
The next time the weatherman says it looks like rain
Repeat Chorus
. . .
|
|
I work my fingers to the bone
Just trying to keep up with the Jones
You call me on the telephone
Say baby hurry hurry home
Pour me a little splash of red
You look like you could raise the dead
Have you got something on your mind
Come on girl we're wasting time
(Chorus)
Just let your body do the talking
Don't let the words get in the way
Yeah I can tell the way you're walking
That you got nothing left to say
Ain't gonna watch the evening news
Cause I don't care who's shooting who
You're putting on my favorite shoes
About to do that thing you do
Ah let's do it all night long
Cause in the morning I'll be gone
If everything works out all right
Same place, same time tomorrow night
Repeat Chorus
Ain't got nothin' to say
Repeat Chorus
Yeah I can tell the way you're walking
That you got nothing left to say
Nothin' baby
. . .

(feat. LeAnn Rimes)
Sometimes this old world gets to me
I sure can be a jerk
But you always see the best in me
God knows you've seen the worst
You know when to let me be
Pull yourself real close to me
How to take my breath away
You don't care who's right or wrong
I know whose side you're on
It's more than the love that we make
It's what you don't say
Man, I should have been the death of me
I sure can run it in the ground
When you come lie here next to me
Girl, you bring me back around
You know when to let me be
Pull yourself real close to me
How to take my breath away
You don't care who's right or wrong
I know whose side you're on
It's more than the love that we make
It's what you don't say
You know when to let me be
Pull yourself real close to me
How to take my breath away
You don't care who's right or wrong
I know whose side you're on
It's more than the love that we make
It's what you don't say
It's what you don't say
It's what you don't say
. . .

(feat. Alison Krauss)
Why do I choose the things I choose
Why do I always find some lame excuse
And why do I not realize what I could do
Oh, I wish I knew the reason why
Why do you get that sad look on your face
And why do you pull away from my embrace
And why do you see all my faults and my mistakes
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why
Why do we treat each other like we do
It's like we never even tried
Why can't we get back to the love we knew
Oh why oh baby why
Why do we have to play the same old games
And why do we run away from who's to blame
And can't we see to lose this love would be a shame
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
. . .

(feat. Bonnie Raitt)
I lose myself in this place
Strangest smile on my face
The Hand of blessing or beginner's luck
Here I stand on the rock of your love
Somethin' steady sure feels good
I always knew somehow it would
I've traded chains for the wings of a dove
Standin' on the rock of your love
(Chorus)
Let the storm clouds roll
Let the rain flood my soul
I'll still be here when the troubles come
Standin' on the rock of your love
If this ole world should fade away
If I got you, I ain't afraid
I will face whatever comes
Standin' on the rock of your love
Repeat Chorus
I'll still be here when the troubles come
Standin' on the rock of your love
. . .

(feat. Sheryl Crow)
You read the business page
See how you did today
You live up on the hill
You've got a view that kills
Never wonder why
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?
(Chorus)
No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
What you give away
There's people on the street
Ai't got enough to eat
You just shake your head
The measure of a man is one who lends a hand
That's what my father said
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?
Repeat Chorus
It's what you give away
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?
No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
You know it's not too late
It's all for Heaven's sake
What you give away
What you give away
What you give away
. . .

(feat. Diana Krall)
Love ain't for the faint of heart
The timid and the weak
Pour me one more on the rocks
And baby we'll just see
We'll start a fire
Pour the wine
Slip on in to these arms of mine
(Chorus)
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Love's for you and me
What a rush when you kiss me that way
Your touch is gonna drive me crazy
Ooh, what a night this has been
Baby let's do it again
Repeat Chorus
What a rush when you kiss me that way
Your touch is gonna drive me crazy
Ooh, what a night this has been
Baby let's do it again
Repeat Chorus

(feat. Jenny Gill)
Painted as a victim
He said you caused it all
Lying to convince them
So you would take the fall
You walked out on nothin'
Hoping for some peace of mind
(Chorus)
The pain is almost over
The hurt is nearly gone
No more looking over your shoulder
It's time to carry on
Scars won't last forever
The truth will take their place
Angry words will be forgotten
Contempt will fade away
The promise of tomorrow
It will always remain
Repeat Chorus
It's time to carry on
. . .

From my room I can hear you laughing
You spend all your time with my best friend
Oh I wish you knew how bad I've fallen for you
There's no way to know how things may end
(Chorus)
Babe I don't know where to start
The longing is the hardest part
Ain't no easy way into your heart
In my mind I can see us together
Crazy in love and paintin' the town
When you look at him I know there's no way I can win
If I came running for you would you turn me down
Repeat Chorus twice
. . .

(feat. Trisha Yearwood)
The blues are in the air tonight
Love has gone and passed me by without a warning
I light up another cigarette
The pain hasn't hit me yet
But I know it's comin'
(Chorus)
And your perfume lingers still upon my pillow case
And the tears just started fallin' down upon my face
I lie here in the lonliness
With this memory of you
I don't know where you are tonight
I'm staring at the candlelight
And I miss you babe
In the darkness here all by myself
I imagine you with someone else
I'm gong crazy
And with everything about you dancing in my head
Girl I sure am lonely in this empty bed
I lie here in the lonliness
With this memory of you
Repeat Chorus
The blues are in the air tonight
Love has gona and passed me by
. . .
|
|
I've sung along with a thousand songs
That talk about good-bye
Of letting go of who you love
Trying to sleep at night
How you cry when you decide to finally walk away
Babe I swear I never thought I'd ever see this day
(Chorus)
So this is how lonely looks
And how that final feels
Funny how it only took
Goodbye to make it real
I never knew that losing you
Would tear my world apart
Who could've known I'd be alone
With just me broken heart
Repeat Chorus three times
. . .

(feat. Amy Grant)
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about my Savior's face
Here comes my old friend the preacher
He's knocking at my door
He's out tryin' to save all the sinners
He's been here so many times before
I love the easy conversation
Man that preacher sure can talk
Brings up my need for salvation
Even though he knows I'm stubborn to a fault
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
Lord I need just a little more faith
I walked by the church Sunday mornin'
Slipped on in the back door
Sure been a long time coming
Tell preacher what I need to know
His words were like a cool drink of water
He said sinners come on down the aisle
So I went runnin' for the alter
Should have seen my old friend the preacher smile
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
I long to see my Savior's face
I long to see my Savior's face
. . .

(feat. Katrina Elam)
It's like jail it's like flight
It's a dram that wakes you in the middle of the night
It's like chains, like an open door
Love is everything and nothing I've been looking for
It's coming home, it's lost at sea
It's a hopeless addiction to sweet misery
It's the poison, it's the candy store
Love is everything and nothing I've been looking for
(Chorus)
I can't hide from the truth, this love I feel for you
It's the one thing I can't ignore
I know I can't explain the pleasure or the pain
Love is everything and nothing I've been looking for
It's like freedom, it's like a trap
It's a short trip to Heaven and a long ride back
Dance on the ceiling, and a crawl on the floor
Love is everything and nothing I've been looking for
Repeat Chorus twice
Love is everything and nothing I've been looking for
. . .

Baby you need to put that bottle down
Put that gun back in the drawer
I hear your man's been out there runnin' around
You're hell'bent to even up the score
(Chorus)
Don't let the devil get you by the throat
You pull that trigger, girl, that's all she wrote
Satan's waitin' for you down the road
Oh which way will you go
Your hands are shaking and your knees are weak
Pistol pointed at the door
You're tired of wearing bruises on your cheek
And being treated like a whore
Repeat Chorus twice
Oh only Heaven knows
Baby you need to put that bottle down
Put that gun back in the drawer
. . .
|
|
Man I've seen it all
I've had my back against the wall
Pain and misery, empty victories
Then you came along
(Chorus)
Oh these days
I'll take these days
Over any other days I've ever known
Oh your sweet ways make these sweet days
Feel like home
Man I've chased some crazy dreams
Reaching for that big brass ring
Bitter memories I've put behind me
I found out it's the little things
Repeat Chorus twice
Oh your sweet ways make these sweet days
Feel like home
. . .
|
|
Oh here I sit with my first glass of whiskey
Wondering where I went wrong
How I wish she was still right here with me
I long to hear all those old country songs
Like old Hank Williams when he'd sing about lonesome
And Hag about misery and gin
If the jukebox would play Patsy's 'Crazy'
Then I could let this new heartache begin
The band just quit and the lovers are leaving
And the bartender said it's closing time
Oh I wonder if she's having trouble sleeping
And if those songs keep on runnin' through her mind
Like 'Crazy Arms' and 'A-11'
The 'Lovers Blues' we're 'Together Again'
Why baby, why must you and 'I Fall To Pieces'
It's time to let this new heartache begin
Why baby, why must you and 'I Fall To Pieces'
It's time to let this new heartache begin
. . .

Lying here in this sleepy town
Listening to the sun go down
The only one who hears the sound is you
You look at life so wild and free
I love the way you smile at me
The only love I'll ever need is you
(Chorus)
I need you to start a clear blue mornin'
I need you at the end of a long hard day
Never see you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you
We don't go much of anywhere
Sunday church and county fairs
The world looks good from these rocking chairs
It's true
Be my woman, I'll be your man
We'll go through life hand in hand
All I want to understand is you
Repeat Chorus
Never see you wear a frown
Blues don't even come around
The only love I've ever found is you
. . .

(feat. Patty Loveless)
You've got legs just like a longneck bottle
And lips just like strawberry wine
You might be a lifetime of trouble
Still I can't get you out of my mind
(Chorus)
Out of my mind, I'm goin' out of my mind
And I see what I've been missing all this time
Oh sweet neon angel, don't leave me behind
No I can't get you out of my mind
You're bringin' on a honky-tonk heartache
And I know you'd never walk the line
To let you slip away, a chance I won't take
Still I can't get you out of my mind
Repeat Chorus
No I can't get you out of my mind
. . .
|
|
I can't believe I am watching our love ending
I wonder just how long you've been pretending
Pretending that our love was what you wanted
While you were out there finding someone new
These days I don't dare look in the mirror
Cause I can hardly stand the sight of me without you
My broken heart might need a little mending
I lie here in the dark still remembering
Remembering when we were so good together
I've become a perfect image of a fool
Oh the picture of my future is getting clearer
And I can hardly stand the sight of me without you
Oh the picture of my future is getting clearer
And I can hardly stand the sight of me without you
Oh the picture of my future is getting clearer
And I can hardly stand the sight of me without you
. . .
|
|
(feat. Alison Krauss & Dan Tyminski)
(Chorus)
I can't find a way to keep pretending
I'm doing all right on my own
And I can't find the strength to keep believin'
That you'll ever come back home
But I'm tryin' to put this behind me
I've been cryin' more than you know
I'd be lyin' to say this won't kill me
Oh I'm dyin' cause I can't let go
Repeat Chorus
Your perfume still lingers all around me
In our bedroom where I loved you so
I'd be lyin' to say this won't kill me
Oh I'm dyin' cause I can't let go
I'd be lyin' to say this won't kill me
Oh I'm dyin' cause I can't let go
. . .
|
|
They say you'll lie, they say you'll cheat
And your kisses taste so sweet
If you're not in love then let me be
No baby don't pretend with me
That honky-tonk life you lead
With neon lights you'll never leave
Give me one reason to believe
But baby don't pretend with me
(Chorus)
Your foolish heart will never change
I want no part of your love-sick games
I know you're wild and runnin' free
So baby don't pretend with me
I'll lay my poor heart at your feet
If you'll leave behind those lonely streets
Oh we could make some sweet memories
So baby don't pretend with me
Repeat Chorus
I know you're wild and runnin' free
So baby don't pretend with me
. . .

(feat. Emmylou Harris)
Have you ever watched the sunset
Disappear in the water down in Mexico
The sky on fire melting into the ocean
Man there's some things that never get old
Have you ever seen a baby walk for the first time
It's like watching a sparrow, a sparrow's wings unfold
When that baby smiles up at you
Man there's some things that never get old
Makin' sweet love to that gal of mine
My first taste of bluebird wine
Eatin' watermelon down to the rind
Any old song by brother John Prine
Sometimes that face looking back in the mirror
Make that mirror, make that mirror cold
But in my heart, oh I'm a hundred years younger
Man there's some things that never get old
Ridin' into town with some friends of mine
It's a two-tone Chevy, she's a '59
Ice cold beer in the summertime
Pickin' on the back porch with brother John Prine
I think livin' is one long highway
I'm bettin' Heaven is at the end of the road
I think love just might be the answer
Man there's some things that never get old
I think love, oh Lord, I know it's the answer
Man there's some things that never get old
. . .

(feat. Phil Everly)
Here comes my little baby
Here comes my turtle dove
She drives me crazy
She's the one that I love
She's got a way about her
That I could never turn down
I couldn't live without her
She makes the world go around
(Chorus)
Sweet little Corrina
Come over here by my side
Sweet little Corrina
Put your pretty little hand in mine
You could search the world over
Right up to the end of time
Every night I get to hold her
Sweet Corrina, now she's so fine
She's my little angel
My little beauty queen
She never met a stranger
She's the girl of my dreams
She's a ballerina
Sweet as she can be
Ought to see the way she's smilin' at me
Repeat Chorus twice

(feat. Lee Ann Womack)
If I can make Mississippi then I'll be alright
These ole white lines are lonely
On this two-lane tonight
I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm
Till the mornin' light
If I could make Mississippi, Mississippi tonight
I headed out west to seek my fortune and fame
I sure made a mess, took it all but my name
Why I ever left I can never explain
If I can make Mississippi through this pouring rain
If I can make Mississippi, then I'll be alright
These ole white lines are lonely
And the headlights are bright
I've got enough whiskey to keep me warm
Till the mornin' light
If I could make Mississippi, Mississippi tonight
She said she would wait
Said our love was strong
I'm just so afraid
I've been gone for too long
When I walk through that gate
Will she be there or long, long gone
If I could make Mississippi
If I could make it back home
If I could make Mississippi
If I could make it back home
. . .

(feat. John Anderson)
They used to be rough and rowdy
And honky-tonk all night long
When the Opry spilled out in the alley
There wasn't nobody going home
When they turned out the lights at Tootsie's
And wind up at Cowboy Jack's
We've got to take this country back
We've got to take this country back
We need a few more matchin' Nudie suits
And silver dollar Cadillacs
There's one too many dime store cowboys
Muscled up in a cowboy hat
We've got to take this country back
Nobody wants to be Hank Williams
Sing about he lost highway
Well Saturday nights at the Ryman
Those were the good ole days
We need to turn the twang up a little
Bring back the Nashville Cats
We've got to take this country back
We've got to take this country back
We need a few more pointy toed cowboy boots
And steer horn Cadillacs
There's one too many dime store cowboys
Muscled up in a cowboy hat
We've got to take this country back
We've got to take this country back
We need a few more matchin' Nudie suits
And silver dollar Cadillacs
When we all gather up in Heaven
How we gonna face the man in black
We got to take this country back
When we all gather up in Heaven
How we gonna face the man in black
We got to take this country back
. . .
|

(Chorus)
I'm all prayed up
I'm ready to meet my Savior
Eternal life is waiting in the by and by
I'm all prayed up
My faith will never waiver
Heaven's doors gonna swing wide open when I die
I made my peace with Jesus a long, long time ago
Trusted in Him that He would save my soul
I walked up there beside Him
He guides me me on my way
I know He hears me when I kneel and pray
Repeat Chorus
Now I ain't afraid of Satan
His wicked way of sin tempted me
But he couldn't pull me in
When I've gone to live with Jesus
Face my judgment day
He'll fulfill for me the promise that He made
Repeat Chorus

(feat. The Del McCoury Band)
I woke up this morning long before the dawn
I stumbled to the kitchen and put some coffee on
The hose was deathly quiet, I knew something was wrong
Then suddenly it dawned on me
The cold gray light of gone
(Chorus)
No there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
Waking up and finding out she's never coming home
The note that said it's over
Lord it chills me to the bone
No there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
I cried and cried for hours and I tried to clear my head
I even went and laid back down on her side of the bed
Her perfume lingered on the sheets
Our love once laid upon
Her memory's destroying me
In the cold gray light of gone
Repeat Chorus twice
No there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
. . .

(feat. Jenny Gill)
A good woman's love is like a river
Runnin' through the heart of a man
If he gives her all he can give her
She'll be there at every bend
Other rivers I've crossed
A reflection was lost
In shallow waters left me blue
Girl I never came across a river like you
A river like you
Where your love runs so deep and true
A river like you
Like a waterfall fallin' into
A river like you
Well I spent all my time searchin'
Runnin' like the wayward wind
You ofound me desperately driftin'
You touched my heart and took me in
Now your love runs through me
And in your eyes I see
Reflections I never knew
Girl I'll always be sailin' on a river like you
A river like you
Where your love runs so deep and true
A river like you
It's like a waterfall fallin' into
A river like you
Now the rivers I've crossed
A reflection was lost
In shallow waters left me blue
Girl I'll always be sailin' on a river like you
A river like you
Where your love runs so deep and true
A river like you
It's like a waterfall fallin' into
A river like you
A river like you

I take it out on you
I take it out on me
Don't take to a cruel world very gracefully
I'm the cause and effect
My own four-letter words
Baby I'm a good man
No matter what you heard
And I'll be there for you
When you need me to be
I'll be the sun at your door
I'll be the wind in your trees
If I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve
Oh yes I will
I'm sharp with my tongue
I know I cut you inside
But I make a concerted effort at times
To try to be more
Than a fool in your eyes
Baby I love you
Don't you realize
And I'll be there for you
When you need me to be
I'll be the sun at your door
I'll be the wind in your trees
If I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve
Oh up your pretty sleeve baby
And I'll be there for you
When you need me to be
I'll be the sun at your door
I'll be the wind in your trees
If I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve
If I've nothin' at all on the surface to see
I'll be the ace up your pretty sleeve

Molly Brown waits for me
In a little one-horse town
Boley, Oklahoma, where white folks don't come around
I'm thinkin' about you, Molly
I'm forbidden to come around
Lord knows I love you Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Lay down by my side
Show me how to spread your wings and let that pony ride
I'm crazy about you , Molly
I don't care that your skin is brown
Lord knows I need you Molly
Molly Brown
We met down by the river
She wore her wedding gown
Never saw it coming
No one heard a sound
My daddy used both barrels
And left me there to drown
Lord knows I'd die for Molly
Molly Brown
Molly Brown, Molly Brown
Don't you weep for me
I'm going to a place the Lord
Prepared for you and me
I'll meet you up in Heaven
Upon that Holy ground
I'll be waitin' for you Molly
Molly Brown

(feat. Rebecca Lynn Howard)
Girl you can trust me with your heart
We've got a chance for a brand new start
Part of your past was so cold and dark
Girl you can trust me with your heart
Girl I will never turn away
Give you my word I will always stay
I promise to honor and obey
Girl I will never turn away
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
Girl I'm asking for your hand
Down on my knees with this golden band
Swear I will be a gentle man
Girl I'm asking for your hand
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
Let's throw caution to the wind
Take what comes around the bend
Girl you will never hurt again
It's the safest place you've ever been
I swear I will be a faithful man
Girl you can trust me till the end
. . .

(Chorus)
Give me the highway
Lord knows I love to roam
Give me the highway
I can hear the lonesome whistle moan
White lines, neon signs, have always been my home
Give me the highway
Cause I was born a rollin' stone
Down every road I travel
Lord to you might look the same
But maybe you might tell me
Why every town's got a different name
I'd like to find a woman
That wasn't hell-bent to tie me down
Someone to be content
To go anywhere I'm bound
Repeat Chorus twice
Give me the highway
Cause I was born a rollin' stone
. . .

She holds me when I'm sleepin'
She wakes me with a kiss
She is the only woman
My heart cannot resist
(Chorus)
My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine
She whispers that she loves me
She knows I feel the same
I thank the Lord above me
When I hear her call my name
Repeat Chorus
We'll praise this perfect union
We'll watch the years go by
We'll be such sweet companions
Until the end of time
Repeat Chorus
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine
. . .

We were just kids growing up in West Texas
Remember the hell we raised
We chased the girls we never could catch them
Those were are glory days
You called me cowboy
Cause I drove a pickup and sang those old cheatin' songs
Buy a bottle of Boone's Farm
Wind up all messed up
Where have those years all gone
(Chorus)
Hey little brother this is old cowboy
Best keep your radio on
Cause I might get lucky, sing in the Opry
And I'll dedicate you this song
I hit the highway and never looked back
You stayed here in our old hometown
You married a sweet girl down around Austin
Had nine kids whose eyes are all brown
I hit every barroom from Bakersfield to Boston
Seeking whiskey, fortune, and fame
Countin' these white lines sure gets lonely
Someday they'll all know my name
Repeat Chorus
The years come and go
I've sure realized
There ain't nothin like your best friend
If there's one thing I know
'Til the day that I die
You've got me back brother Ben
Hey little brother this is old cowboy
You've got your radio on
Tonight I got lucky, I'm singin' on the Opry
I dedicate you this song
Yeah tonight I got lucky,
I'm singin' on the Grand Ole Opry
I dedicate you this song
. . .

(feat. Guy Clark)
He was sitting in the corner
At a table all a lone
A candle burnin' in the darkness
His glass of wine was almost gone
Something about him felt familiar
And it made me atop and a stare
The way he held his hands before him
Looked like he was lost in prayer
Hey son, what are you looking at?
Why do your eyes look so sad?
There's something in the way he sat there
Made me think about my dad
I'm looking for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and a son
Hey son, why don't you pull up one of those empty chairs?
Bring it over here by my side
Buy me a glass of wine
This looks like a real good place to hide
You know I've always been a fisherman
Fishin' for souls along the way
You kind of remind me of my only son
I lost him 33 years ago today
I'm looking for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and a son
There's somethin' I'd sure like to give you
It's a compass that my Father made
He told me it'd point you in the right direction
In case you ever lose your way
You know I've got somethin' here in my pocket
This little silver cross
I think my son would want you to have it
When you think all the hope is lost
We're looking for the answer
Just like everyone
We know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and a son
I left him sitting at his table
But I didn't feel alone
For a moment I could see the light
Oh we were almost home
For a moment I could see the light
Oh we were almost home
