"Lonely Lubbock Lights"

"Lonely Lubbock Lights"


I was singing at the ol' Broken Spoke
I could have swore she came walking in
Forgot the words to a song that I wrote

Must be losing my mind once again
Her daddy is a southern Baptist preacher
I had to choose her or the bars where I sang
Now when I call I can't seem to reach her
I'm gonna find her if it's the last thing

[Chorus:]
So I'll drive all night long
Till I find where we went wrong
But there's no love in sight -
Just those lonely Lubbock lights

I was ready to give up the road
As I turned onto her street
But the silhouette there in her window
Was of someone who once looked like me
I'd placed a price on her heart
But someone else collected the bounty
Now this lost soul don't know where to start
I think I'm lost somewhere in Hale County

[Chorus]

That west Texas wind grew colder
As I left her further behind me
Sometimes I stop and cry on the shoulder
Cause every town I pass helps to remind me

[Chorus]

"Long Vacation"

"Long Vacation"


I just know the sunsets are to die for
How I long to walk upon that distant shore
I'll find my truest relaxation at my final destination when I take that long vacation with the Lord

I recall all the stories I've been told
I've read about heaven and its streets of gold
I'm prayin' and I'm wishin' ol' Saint Peter takes me fishin'
My bags are packed up and ready to roll

I just know the sunsets are to die for
How I long to walk upon that distant shore
I'll find my truest relaxation at my final destination when I take that long vacation with the Lord

Yes, He paid the price for my admission
I've got my one-way ticket and that's a trip I won't be missin'
I've had a few reroutes and stops along the way, but His grace is gonna get me there someday

I just know the sunsets are to die for
How I long to walk upon that distant shore
I'll find my truest relaxation at my final destination when I take that long vacation with the Lord

I'm gonna take that long vacation with the Lord
I'm gonna take that long vacation with the Lord

"Love Makin' Song"

"Love Makin' Song"


Theres way too many lyin, stealin, cryin
Cheatin fool hearted drinkin songs
About somebody who done somebody wrong
Honey honky tonkin is what I do
But my true love is lovin on you
So baby tonight we gonna write a love makin song

[Chorus:]
We could kick it off slow with a bottle of wine
Or get straight to the old punch line
Either way it starts its gonna end
With an all night long
Its guaranteed to be off the charts
Solid gold number one in my heart
Baby tonight we gonna write a love makin song

Girl I get inspired by watchin you
The sweet things you say and do
And baby you got a few ideas of your own
Well kiss for kiss and note for note
Shut the door and lock the dead bolt
Cause baby tonight we gonna write a love makin song

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat chorus]

"Mackenzie Park"

"Mackenzie Park"


Well once upon a time
When I held you in my arms
On a blanket in the grass
Where we'd watch the falling stars
Under that old maple tree
We'd share secrets in the dark
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park

[Chorus:]
And we lived, laughed, and loved as if
There were no tomorrow
Up until the day you went away
Leaving only sorrow

Now the stars don't shine
The way they used to do
Like they did when you were mine
Perhaps they're lonely too
You can barely read the names
That I carved inside a heart
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park

[Chorus]

Sometimes I think of you
And I just have to smile
Though forever never was
At least we had a little while
How time flies when you're young
Just like the flicker of a spark
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park

"Messing With A Man On A Mission"

"Messing With A Man On A Mission"


You warned me from the start not to let you break my heart
I guess you don't know who your talking too
I'll bet you money no matter how much honey
I'm about to change your point of view

[Chorus:]
You're messing with man on a mission
And a heart with hard headed ambition
My sites are set on you, there's nothing you can do
You're messing with man on a mission

Darling I declare how dare you to compare
When you ain't ever loved no one like me
Unlike the other boys you may have played like toys
I'm more than a yo-yo on a string

[Chorus]

You warned me from the start not to let you break my heart
I guess you don't know who your talking too
I'll bet you money no matter how much honey
You'll be mine by the time I'm through

[Chorus]

"Next To Heaven"

"Next To Heaven"


Pinch me I must be dreaming waking up with you and feeling
The tender touch of your good morning kiss
No where else on earth is better than being next to you
Next to heaven, it doesn't get any better than this

[Chorus:]
Next to heaven lies my fate, my best friend and my sole mate
God knows this kind of love only comes from up above
You're the answer to my prayers, nothing else compare
I'm next to heaven when I am next to you

You look just like an angel tangled in white satin sheets
Lying there with your hair all in a mess
I swear you look your best all dressed up next to nothing
Next to heaven, it doesn't get any better than this

[Chorus x3]

"Nobody's Crying But The Baby"

"Nobody's Crying But The Baby"


With her little one in one arm
And the laundry in the other
She could sure use a helping hand
But thats just the life of a single mother

Somebody's calling on the phone
Somebody's knocking at the door
She forgets and burns the dinner
Throws it across the kitchen floor
And for a moment she wants to give up and break down

But nobody's crying but the baby
She ain't far from going crazy
And there are times she wonders how she's going to make it
But she's got to be strong enough for two
She's gotta do what he wouldn't do
No time for tears around here
Nobody's crying but the baby

And when the day is done
She'll tuck her angel in
She'll turn out the lights and start missing him again
Her mascara slowly runs down her face

But nobody's crying but the baby
She ain't far from going crazy
And there are times she wonders how she's going to make it
But she's got to be strong enough for two
She's gotta do what he wouldn't do
No time for tears around here
Nobody's crying

But the baby is getting older
The lonely nights are getting colder
And what she wouldn't give to have a shoulder to cry on
But she's got to be strong enough for two
She's gotta do what he wouldn't do
No time for tears around here
Nobody's crying but the baby

"Not Just Another Pretty Face"

"Not Just Another Pretty Face"


If it was just another night like so many nights before
Just another dance, another time around the floor
Just another heart, you'd break and leave behind
Tell me why you're still awake and that girl is still on your mind

Cause she's not just another pretty face
This time you're in it for more than just the chase
Your hearts against the wall, you thought you seen em all
But she's not just another pretty face

You thought your heart was ten feet tall and bullet proof
Till a girl only five foot three shot you with the cold hard truth
All your friends might say, you're way in over your head
But deep down their just jealous it's not them instead

You've gone hungry, saving for that diamond ring I never thought
You'd see the day
You'd get down on a knee
Cause she's not just another pretty face
This time you're in it for more than just the chase
Your hearts against the wall, you thought you seen em all
But she's not just another pretty face

"Nothing But The Blood"
(feat. Tim Curry & The Wesley United Methodist Church Choir)



What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

"Off The Record"

"Off The Record"


I got a letter from your lawyer
And you got one from mine
They say it's gonna be final
Once we sign that dotted line

We'll I guess we'll get our freedom
And a so called fresh new start
But when you take half of everything
You'll be taking half my heart
Our love got lost somewhere in life's complications
Torn between two lawyers and all their legal litigations

Off the record, there's something I need to say to you
This ain't easy but it's what my heart has to do
Cause I can't let you go until I let you know
Off the record, I'm still in love with you

I took down our wedding picture
From above the fireplace
And I stood there awhile
Starring at your pretty face

Have we lost our love
To differences we can't resolve
But if push comes to shove
Thank God no children are involved
I can still see you throwing your rose bouquet
I never thought I'd see the day we'd throw it all away

Off the record, there's something I need to say to you
This ain't easy but it's what my heart has to do
Cause I can't let you go until I let you know
Off the record, I'm still in love with you

I've done all I can do now all I can do is pray
And ask the Lord to let me hear you say

Off the record, there's something I need to say to you
This ain't easy but it's what my heart has to do
Cause I can't let you go until I let you know
Off the record, I'm still in love with you
Girl, off the record, I'm still in love with you
