"This Heart"

"This Heart"


God gave me the will to survive, a good strong back and a mind
And all the tough stuff it takes to fill a man's shoes
Then God put this heart in me for you
It pushes the blood through my veins
To swing this nine pound hammer one more day
But there's only one reason why it beats so true
God put this heart in me for you

This heart really don't belong to me
This heart will be yours eternally
The man upstairs put it there 'cause
He knows what to do

I'd be nothin' but flesh, blood and bones
If I had to walk through this world alone
Just a ramblin' fool, a blind, stubborn brute
Without this heart in me for you

This heart really don't belong to me
This heart will be yours eternally
The man upstairs put it there 'cause
He knows what to do

God put this in my for you
Yes, God put this heart in me for you

"This Old Couch"

"This Old Couch"


Well, sometimes I wish we'd bought the kind
That folds out into a bed
But it ain't too bad if you lay on your side
And use the armrest for you head
Yeah, the springs are sprung and the center sags
And the stuffing is sticking out
But it's times like these she ain't happy with me
I thank god for this old couch

Yeah, right about now she's as P.O.'ed
As I've ever seen her be
And this pillow and blanket and a mighty dirty look
Tells me where I'm gonna sleep
I learned a long time ago don't say nothing
And soon she'll simmer down
And with a little bit of luck we'll kiss and make up
Sitting right here on this old couch

[Chorus:]
Yeah, this old couch is a pretty safe place
While she blows off a little steam
Well she's mad as hell but that's alright
She ain't getting rid of me
'Cause there ain't no quitting
Just forgiving and forgetting
That's what love's about
And we both know I'll never go no further
Than this old couch

It might take five minutes, take five days
It really all depends
On how long it takes for the begging and the pleading
To finally start soaking in
Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna learn
Not to stick my big foot in my big mouth
Yeah, and maybe then
I won't have to spend so much time along
Yeah, right..

[Chorus]

Yeah, this old couch
Yeah, one potato, two potato, three potato, four potato
I'm a couch potato
"Hey honey, you still mad?"
I'm sorry... a lot!"

"Trim Yourself To Fit The World"

"Trim Yourself To Fit The World"


Each time the good Lord makes a man
He always breaks the mold
So it sure does raise a flag for that
Rebel in my soul
When some phony carbon copy says
I'm the black sheep of the fold
Well, this is what I tell' em
When I tell 'em where to go

If you trim yourself to fit the world
There won't be nothin' left
Just a little here and a little there
Till you won't know yourself
You'll be a pile of shavings
When they put you in your grave
If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away

I could change to fit his world
But I just ain't that kind
Some sell their soul for the easy road
The devil's always buying
I can't count the ones I've known
Who fell right into line
Now they walk around with their heads hung down
They've got no piece of mind

If you trim yourself to fit the world
There won't be nothin' left
Just a little here and a little there
Till you won't know yourself
You'll be a pile of shavings
When they put you in your grave
If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away

So before you sign that dotted line
Or do something that you'd rather not
Before you compromise your stand
Friend, let me tell you what
Don't let the crowd get so loud
You can't hear your conscience speak
'Cause I'm willing to bet that you'll soon regret
That you sold yourself so cheap

If you trim yourself to fit the world
There won't be nothin' left
Just a little here and a little there
Till you won't know yourself
You'll be a pile of shavings
When they put you in your grave
If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away

If you trim yourself to fit the world
You'll whittle yourself away

"Truck Drivin' Man"

"Truck Drivin' Man"


Well, I wheeled into a truck stop down in Texas
A little place called hamburger dan's
I heard that ole jukebox playin'
A song about a truck drivin' man

Now that waitress done brought me cup of coffee
And I thanked her then I called her back again
I said you know that old song it sure does fit me
'Cause honey I'm a truck drivin' man

So pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And put another quarter in that jukebox
And play me that truck drivin' man
Well, come on

Well I climbed back aboard my old semi
Then just like a flash I was gone
I got them old big truck wheels rollin'
Now I'm on my way to San Antone

So pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And put another quarter in that jukebox
And play me that truck drivin' man, yeah

So pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
And put another quarter in that jukebox
And play me that truck drivin' man
Would you play me that truck drivin' man?

"Twenty-Nine And Holding"

"Twenty-Nine And Holding"


Oh, she's tender but she's tough
And still willing to love
If there's a man enough to be her man
But right now her hands are full
Fighting back the tears and the wolves
But she keeps smiling just as hard as she can

She's twenty-nine and holding the world on her shoulders
They're all counting on mama
And she ain't about to let them down
There's no time to worry about turning thirty
When you're twenty-nine and holding
The world on you shoulders

Yes, the one who she once loved
Just didn't have the guts
To be a lover or father or much of a man
Yeah, he just had to have his space
So she put him in his place
Out in the road with his suitcase in his hand

Well, it's the kids and it's the job
It's the kitchen and it's the mop
Hey, it's the life of a woman that's on her own
And lord, I just gotta say
That we all ought to be ashamed
If our biggest trouble is just turning old and gray

She's twenty-nine and holding the world on her shoulders

"Up Against You"

"Up Against You"


I've had my back against the wall more times than I can count
Seems I was running into trouble every time I turned around
But now my luck is changing, I've run into a dream come true
I've never been up against anything quite like you

There have been tight situations, but baby this is close
You're so soft to touch, and you're so easy to hold
For the first time in my life, I feel like I just can't lose
I've never been up against, anything quite like you

When the odds are against me, I just laugh it off
'Cause nothing is as tough as, this love I've come across
Ever since the day we meet, you've turned me every way but loose
I've never been up against anything quite like you

There have been tight situations, but baby this is close
You're so soft to touch, and you're so easy to hold
For the first time in my life, I feel like I just can't lose
I've never been up against, anything quite like you
No, I've never been up against anything quite like you

Yeah...

"We Can't Get Any Higher Than This"

"We Can't Get Any Higher Than This"


Baby we're sitting on top of the world

We could fly on the wings of an eagle
Take a ride on a rocket ship
Drink to the bottom of a bottle
But we can't get any higher than this

We could tiptoe up to the mountaintop
Snuggle and cuddle and a kiss
But sooner or later we gotta come down

We can't, no we can't
Yeah we can't get any higher than this
Baby we're sitting on top of the world
And we can't get any higher than this

If the sky is the limit
There's no telling how far we'll go
Even the angels are grinning
If there's a heaven we're right in the middle of it

If this ain't stoned on loving
Oh, then I don't know what is
Cloud nine is right below us
And we can't get any higher than this

We can't, no we can't
Yeah we can't get any higher than this
Baby we're sitting on top of the world
And we can't get any higher than this

If the sky is the limit
There's no telling how far we'll go
Even the angels are grinning
If there's a heaven we're right in the middle of it

If this ain't stoned on loving
Oh, then I don't know what is
Cloud nine is right below us
And we can't get any higher than this

We can't, no we can't
Yeah we can't get any higher than this
Baby we're sitting on top of the world
And we can't get any higher than this

"What This Country Needs"

"What This Country Needs"


If I was runnin' this country
I'd start it over from scratch
Keep what's good, pile up what's bad
And then I'd strike the match
Yeah we'd go back to the basics
Of how things ought to be
Yeah, there'd be a lot of changes
If it was left up to me

'Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a little fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That's what this country needs

Now if you want to hear about livin'
Just twist that radio dial
'Til you come to a singer singin'
What life is all about
'Cause you can't deny that people still cry
They laugh and they smile and they hurt
And that's my humble opinion y'all
You can take it for what it's worth

'Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a little fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That's what this country needs

Yeah, turn it on up and let it ring out
Across the land of the free
They ought to build a statue of Hank Williams, Sr.
In Washington, D.C.

'Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a little fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That's what this country needs

You just be proud of it and always love it
And that's what this country needs

"When Country Took The Throne"

"When Country Took The Throne"


Just a skinny little Mississippi railroad man
That loved to sing and play
He brought his music from the cotton fields
To the the hillbilly hall of fame
Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers
Chisel his name in the cornerstone
I just wish he could've lived to see the day
When country took the throne

Now a million songs have come and gone
Since we made that humble start
About neon nights, everyday life
Love and broken hearts
And more and more folks
Kept tuning in and turning on
Now I can proudly say that I saw the day
When country took the throne

Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York
They can't get enough of this country stuff
And they're screaming for more
We painted the town with that grand old sound
And the whole world sang along
Yes, I was there the day
When country took the throne

Now, no one knows what the future holds
But I bet my best guitar
There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter
And a honky-tonk on Mars
In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer
The best music ever known
They'll celebrate that age old day
When country took the throne

Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York
They can't get enough of this country stuff
And they're screaming for more
We painted the town with that grand old sound
And the whole world sang along
Yes, I was there the day
When country took the throne

I said I was there the day
When country took the throne

"Where The Stars And Stripes And Eagle Fly"

"Where The Stars And Stripes And Eagle Fly"


Well, if you ask me where I come from
Here's what I tell everyone
I was born by God's dear grace
In an extraordinary place
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

It's a big ol' land with countless dreams
Happiness ain't out of reach
Hard work pays off the way it should
Yeah, I've seen enough to know that we've got it good
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

There's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free

I pledge allegiance to this flag
And if that bothers you, well, that's too bad
But if you got pride and you're proud you do
Hey, we could use some more like me and you
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

Yes, there's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free

No, it ain't the only place on earth
But it's the only place that I prefer
To love my wife and raise my kids
Hey, the same way that my daddy did
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly
