"She Was No Good For Me"
(with Miranda Lambert)

"She Was No Good For Me"
(with Miranda Lambert)



She was a good looking woman no doubt
A high steppin' mover that men talk about
Everything bad in me she brought it out
And she was just no good for me

She was wonderfully wicked and wild
With the looks of a woman
And the ways of a child
She could twist you or turn you
With a look or a smile
But she was just no good for me

[Chorus:]
Don't be taken by the look in her eyes
If she looks like an angel
It's a perfect disguise
And for somebody else she may be
But she was just no good for me

I'm just a fool for a looker I guess
When it comes to beauty Lord knows she was blessed
I thought I could change her and I did my best
But she was just no good for me

[Chorus]

"She's Gone, Gone, Gone"

"She's Gone, Gone, Gone"


She said if I ever deceived her
She'd be gone before I could count ten
Well I guess that I didn't believe her
Cause look at the trouble I'm in
She's gone gone gone gone gone gone
Crying won't bring her back
The more that I cry
The faster the train flies
Further on down the track

I lost every right to be happy
When I lost the heaven I'd found
She warned me she'd leave
And she left me before
My first tear hit the ground
She's gone gone gone gone gone gone
Crying won't bring her back
The more that I cry
The faster the train flies
Further on down the track

[guitar]

And if I only knew where to find her
I'd crawl back on my hands and knees
Each tick of the clock's a reminder
She's one second further from me
She's gone gone gone gone gone gone
Crying won't bring her back
The more that I cry
The faster the train flies
Further on down the track

"She's Not For You"

"She's Not For You"


Pay no mind to her she only wants to play
But she's not for you she's not for you
And I'm the only one who would let her act this way
But she's not for you she's not for you
She just looks for greener pastures now and then
And when she grows tired she knows Old Faithful will just take her back again
So just leave her here I'm used to feeling blue
But she's not for you she's not for you
[guitar]
So she told you she found heaven in your eyes
Well I think it only fair to warn you that sometimes she lies
But it's your heart I can't tell you what to do
But she's not for you she's not for you
She's not for you she's not for you

"She's Out Of My Life"

"She's Out Of My Life"



She's out of my life she's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife she's out of my life
It's out of my hands it's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands she's out of my hands
I have learned love is not possession and I have learned that love won't wait
I have learned love needs expression but I learned it too late
She's out of my life she's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife she's out of my life

"She's Still Gone"

"She's Still Gone"



I wake up in the morning with my arms around my pillow
Then suddenly I realize I only hold a pillow you're not there you're not there
I call your name and hear my voice run searching through the hallway
To return alone confirming all I've known for so long I'm alone you're still gone
Still half asleep I stumble to the kitchen for my coffee
My footsteps match my heartbeats funny heartbeats on linoleum
The sounds all wrong you're still gone
The sounds outside reminding me the world won't wait forever
And understanding saves don't stand by empty graves
You're on your own all alone she's still gone

"Shelter Of Your Arms"

"Shelter Of Your Arms"



Now I lay me down to sleep and if I sleep perhaps I’ll dream
And if I dream, I’ll be with you in the shelter of your arms
I pray that God will lengthen night and grant me time before the light
For the light of day will take me from the shelter of your arms

And though I know it’s just a dream, a dream that soon must end
The arms I feel, I know are real and I’m happy once again
And if I die while I am asleep, I pray my dreams He’ll let me keep
And carry me through eternity in the shelter of your arms

And though I know it’s just a dream, a dream that soon must end
The arms I feel, I know are real and I’m happy once again
And if I die while I am asleep, I pray my dreams He’ll let me keep
And carry me through eternity in the shelter of your arms

"Shotgun Willie"

"Shotgun Willie"



Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear
Biting on a bullet and pulling out all of his hair
Shotgun Willie's got all of his family there

Well, you can't make a record if you ain't got nothing to say
You can't make a record if you ain't got nothing to say
You can't play music if you don't know nothing to play

Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear
Biting on a bullet and pulling out all of his hair
Shotgun Willie's got all of his family there

Now, John T. Floores was a-working for the Ku Klux Klan
At six foot five, John T. was a hell of a man
Made a lot of money selling sheets on the family plan

Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear
Biting on a bullet and pulling out all of his hair
Shotgun Willie's got all of his family there

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"



Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, All is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so Tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born!

Silent night, holy night!
Wondrous star, lend thy light!
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King!
Christ the Saviour is here,
Jesus the Saviour is here!

Silent night, Holy night!
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord at thy birth;
Jesus Lord at thy birth.

"Since I Fell For You"

"Since I Fell For You"



When you just give love, and never get love,
Youd better let love depart.

I know its so, and still I know,
I cant get you out of my heart.

You made me leave my happy home.
You took my love, and now youve gone,
Since I fell for you...

My life has been such misery and pain.
I guess I'll never be the same,
Since I fell for you...

Well its too bad, and its too sad,
That I'm in love with you...

When you love me, and then you snub me.
But what can I do, I'm still in love with you.

I guess I'll never see the light.
I get these blues most every night,
Since I fell for you...

Well its too bad, and its too sad,
That I'm in love with you...

When you love me, and then you snub me.
But what can I do, I'm still in love with you.

I guess I'll never see the light.
I get those blues most every night,
Since I fell for you...

Since you loved me, then you snubbed me
I prayed you put no one above me
Now I'm black and blue since I fell for you
