"Girl On The Billboard"

"Girl On The Billboard"


Who is the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in a field near the big old highway
Rollin' down the highway in my Jimmy, haulin' freight
From Chicago to St Louis, Lord, I see her every day
Oh, a double clutchin' weasel like me can hardly ever get
A girl to look at him that way
Smilin' like the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway

Wow, what a girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
I bet it wouldn't take her very long to be gone
If someone would pull a dirty trick, take her towel away
I'd slow my Jimmy to 20
That's how many wrecks I see there every day
Caused by the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway

Oh, I love the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
And I guess I'm gettin' bolder 'cause I'd rather kiss and hold her
Than just keep lookin' at her every day
At 4:45, coffee-drinkin', eatin' time
Jimmy shimmied, while I woke up the artist that painted the display

Of the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway

All right

Doggone, that girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
Sleepy headed, painter said the girl wasn't real and I better get on my way
On Route 66 from the billboard to Chicago
You'll find tiny pieces of my heart scattered every which a-way
Shattered by the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway

Who was the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
Who is the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
Who is the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
Well, who is the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
Yeah, who is the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
Yeah

"He Believed"

"He Believed"


He'd say can't never could do nothin'
And weights what broke the wagon
There ain't no fence between right or wrong
Sometimes you gotta fight if you wanna get along
You better stand up when that flag gets raised
Or down on your knees when it's time to pray
But the greatest thing about him to me
Was the fact that he believed

He believed in the good Lord above
A straight shootin' rifle and the power of love
He believed in why the blood was shed
And if he couldn't be free he'd rather be dead
And to never give up on your dreams
But most of all yeah most of all he believed in me

Well he had his own opinion
About the world and its condition
Spare the rod spoil the child
You'll reap what you sow if you let it grow wild
You just gotta deal with the hand you're dealt
Never give up and you'll never really fail
But the greatest thing about dad to me
Was the fact that he believed

Oh and just because of him I know who I am today
And just because of that I know where he's gone to stay

"He Said That He Was Jesus"

"He Said That He Was Jesus"


I remember I was sitting in this little cafe
Some where out in the middle of L.A.
It was almost Christmas and I was all alone

Suddenly He appeared, hungry, cold and tired
Headed straight for me, He sat down uninvited
What was on my mind when I didn't say
'Cause what He said to me, I think of every Christmas day

He said that He was Jesus born in Bethlehem
And that He died for us but somehow we'd forgotten Him
Maybe He was lying just above my father's tree
But He said that He was Jesus and I just had to believe

I sat there in stunned silence and when His eyes met mine
I just pushed my plate to Him and He said, "You're mighty kind"
And I admit I had my doubts but I just couldn't take the chance
I know the good book says, "You gotta help your fellow man"

And He said that He was Jesus born in Bethlehem
And that He died for us but somehow we'd forgotten Him
Maybe He was lying just above my father's tree
But He said that He was Jesus and I just had to believe

I may never know if it was Jesus in that chair
All I really know is that I'm sure that He was there

He said that He was Jesus born in Bethlehem
And that He died for us but somehow we'd forgotten Him
Maybe He was lying just above my father's tree
But He said that He was Jesus and I just had to believe

Yep, I was sitting in this little cafe
Some where out in the middle of L.A.
It was almost Christmas, I was all alone

"Her"

"Her"


What makes me get up every mornin'
When I can't find the will
And what keeps me goin' through the motions
When all my dreams are standing still
Why do I try so hard
How did I get this far
What is the bottom line each and every time

I do it for her
It's all about her
(Oh) God knows she gives me more than I deserve
Every thought I think
Every breath I breath
Everything that I hold dear to me
Revolves around one simple little word
Her

There's times I take it all for granted
Just how fortunate I am
God knows it took a better woman to make me a better man
Oh, sometimes it don't show
Don't always let her know
What I couldn't live without
I know there ain't a doubt

She's my life's work
And for all it's worth

Talkin' about her

"Honky Tonk If You Love Country"

"Honky Tonk If You Love Country"


I reckon there's one near your hometown
An old cinderblock building looks half torn down
Just hang a left down the lost highway
Keep going till you see the signs that say

Honky tonk if you love country
Honky tonk you whole life long
Honky tonk if you love country
That's what keeps this country strong

Them little ladies in the kitchen can't be beat
They've got your hard-boiled eggs and your pickled pig feet
Don't you try to order no imported beer
That truck only runs from St. Louie to here

All the girls get frisky on Friday night
When the band starts playing don't you be surprised
We do things different when we start to rock
Yeah, we hop on the hip and we hip on the hop

We'll be the life of the party at the party of your life
You might even meet your next ex-wife
Ain't no better place for you to be
In the home of the brave and the land of the free
...

"Honky-Tonk Superman"

"Honky-Tonk Superman"


Well, down at the factory, I'm never late
I'm a mild mannered man who pulls his weight
I give a hundred percent, I don't ever stop
'Til Friday evening when I punch that clock
Then I disappear until the weekend's through
And you'll never guess who I turn into

I'm a honky-tonk superman
Ready or not, I'm back again
Dancing on the tables
And swinging from the chandeliers
I'm a honky-tonk superman
That's who I really am
A real rebel, dare-devil
Honky-tonkin' superman

Everybody's waiting for my next move
Last night I broke the record for acting a fool
My favorite waitress said I went a little too far
When I came roller skating down the top of the bar
Now, don't blame me for just having fun
The never should have bet me that it couldn't be done

I'm a honky-tonk superman
Ready or not, I'm back again
Dancing on the tables
And swinging from the chandeliers
I'm a honky-tonk superman
That's who I really am
A real rebel, dare-devil
Honky-tonkin' superman

Hey, look up there on the neon sign
It's a bird, it's a plane, Lord, he's lost his mind

Oh, it's just honky-tonk superman
Ready or not, I'm back again
Dancing on the tables
And swinging from the chandeliers
Whoa, yeah, I'm a honky-tonk superman
Yeah, that's who I really am
A real rebel, dare-devil, honky-tonkin' superman
Yeah, sure enough, real tough, honky-tonk superman

"How's The Radio Know"

"How's The Radio Know"


I ain't told nobody 'bout the trouble I got on me
Kept my tears to myself so no one in the world could see
No, I ain't let on the truth to a living soul
So how's the radio know

How's the radio know she left
How's the radio know I did her wrong
Every record that DJ spins
Is a good-love-gone-bad song
How's the radio know I miss her
And I'd die to tell her so
Oh, how's the radio know

He played one about a fool who's choked up with regret
Then one about a woman that a man won't ever forget
Played back-to-back heartbreakers in a row
How's the radio know

How's the radio know she left
How's the radio know I did her wrong
Every record that DJ spins
Is a good-love-gone-bad song
How's the radio know I miss her
And I'd die to tell her so
Oh, how's the radio know

Maybe she's tuned in, so Mister DJ, please
Play a song that's filled with sweet apologies
Then crank it up so the signal's loud and strong
Help me bring her back home, help me bring her back home

How's the radio know she left
How's the radio know I did her wrong
Every record that DJ spins
Is a good-love-gone-bad song
How's the radio know I miss her
And I'd die to tell her so
Oh, how's the radio know
Oh, how's the radio know

"I Believed"

"I Believed"


In a tiny town where the biggest things
Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams
I believed

In a little house of simple means
Where doing without was a common scene
I believed

On a dried up square of worthless earth
Where we scratched our living out of the dirt
I believed

In a little brown church where I first heard
The choir sing and the preacher's word
I believed, oh I believed

And the closer that I looked within
The further I could see
And I really didn't have much other choice
So, I believed

In a high-rise world of steel and glass
Where a man dies young if he don't think fast
I believed

On the streets where the truth is hard to find
And what's in it for me is the bottom line
I believed

In a place where people don't seem to care
They turn their backs like you're not there
I believed

Yeah, where anything goes, it usually does
I held my breath and bit my tongue
And I believed, oh I believed

In a higher place, in a deeper faith
In a power stronger than you or me
I believed

Now when they put that granite on my grave
All I want that stone to say is
I believed

And where I'm from and the woman I love
The job I did and god above
I believed, I believed, I believed

I believed, I believed, I believed

"I Can Help"

"I Can Help"


If you got a problem, don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you of this, I can help
I got two strong arms, I can help
It would shore do me good to do you good, let me help

It's a fact that people get lonely; ain't nothing new
But a woman like you baby should never have the blues
Let me help; take a tip from me, I can help
It would shore do me good to do you good, let me help

When I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dreams
Holdin' me tight and tellin' me everything I wanna hear

So don't forget me baby; all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you; if I can do anything at all, let me help
If your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would shore do me good to do you good, let me help

When I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dreams
You're holdin' me tight and tellin' me everything I wanna hear

So don't forget me baby; all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you; if I can do anything at all let me help
If your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would shore do me good to do you good, let me help

It would shore do me good to do you good, I can help

"I Didn't Come This Far (Just To Walk Away)"

"I Didn't Come This Far (Just To Walk Away)"


I made five hundred miles in six hours flat trying to make up for lost time
I been beatin' a path to your mama's door to set things between us right
Between the hands of fate and a lot of hard luck
This ain't been no gravy train
And I didn't come this far just to walk away

I slung a rod just east of Memphis and that heap of a truck shut down
So for nine cold hours I thumbed my way
Straight to the guitar town
And the last twelve miles to your mama's house
I hiked through the pouring rain
And I didn't come this far just to walk away

I could have turned around a thousand times and went back to where I'm from
But I'd go an extra million miles if I could save what's left of us
It was a burning love that drove me here and girl I hope and pray
That I didn't come this far just to walk away

I know that this front door ain't the only thing that stands between you and me
Things that I've said, and the wrong that I've done ain't undone easily
But I'm gonna prove my love to you no matter what it takes
'Cause I didn't come this far just to walk away

Oh I could have turned around a thousand times and went back to where I'm from
But I'd go an extra million miles if I could save what's left of us
Oh It was a burning love that drove me here and girl I hope and pray
That I didn't come this far just to walk away

Oh, I didn't come this far just to walk away
