"Old Chunk Of Coal"

"Old Chunk Of Coal"


Well I’m just an old chunk of coal
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day

I’m gonna grow and glow ‘til I’m so blue, pure perfect
I’m gonna put a smile on everybody’s face

But I’m gonna kneel and pray everyday
Lest I should become vain along the way

I’m just an old chunk of coal, now Lord
But I’m gonna be a diamond some day

I’m gonna learn the right way to talk
I’m gonna search and find a better way to walk

I’m gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
Until I get rid of every single flaw

I’m gonna be the world’s best friend
I’m gonna go around shakin’ everybody’s hand

I’m gonna be the cotton-pickin’ rage of the age
Yes, I’m gonna be a diamond some day

I said, ‘I’m just an old chunk of coal, my Lord
But I’m gonna be a diamond someday’

"Old Man Walker's Property"

"Old Man Walker's Property"


Growing up in a little town where there's not a lot to do
No matter where you go troubles bound to run into you
There was only one water hole this side of the county line
The boys and me would hang our clothes on the no trespassing sign

[Chorus:]
We'd go swimming swinging from the tire in the tree
And we'd go fishing but we never caught anything
There was a chance we might get caught but we always got off scot-free
Trespassing on old man walker's property
Well the older the old man got the meaner he seemed to be
I could tell when our eyes met he didn't care to much for me
I remember on friday nights me and my girl would wait up late
When he'd turn off his front porch light we'd hop on over the gate

[Chorus]

We'd go kissing underneath the cottonwood trees
And we'd go wishing on every star that we could see
There was a chance we might get caught but we always got off scot-free
Trespassing on old man walker's property
Not long ago I went back home for the labor day weekend
As I walked out of the store old man walker came walking in
He said I used to watch you one by one sneak under my gate
But I'd let ya'll play till your momma's said it was getting late
I'd come out a hollerin' and you boys would scatter and run
If you'd of known I was a teddy bear you wouldn't of had half the fun
I said you ol' son of a gun for all these years I thought you hated me
He said boy if that was true would I have hung a tire swing in the tree

[Chorus]

Hearing y'all laughing it really put a smile on my face
Seeing y'all splashing really brightened up this place
There was a chance you might get caught but you always got off scot-free
Trespassing on old man walker's propertypacked my bags and said my good-byes early that sunday evening
I drove down the old man's dirt road just as I was leaving
Out there in that water hole were little boys like I used to be
Trespassing on old man walker's property
Trespassing on old man walker's property

"On The Losing End"

"On The Losing End"


She left in a hurry, she wears she'll be back, but I'm kinda worried
Cause I can hear nashville calling her name
I wished her good luck, through the window of a pickup truck
She kissed me goodbye and then she drove away

Cause shes chasin her dreams and shes breakin mine
Shes takin heaven with her leavin nothin but hell behind
And I don't know if she'll be back again
But ill be right here where she left me
On the losing end

That old pickup made up of rust, left me standin in a cloud of dust
And when it settled, it couldn't have been any clearer
I was on the wrong end of the tracks and she wasn't lookin back
Not even a second glance, in her rear-view mirror

Cause shes chasin her dreams and shes breakin mine
Shes takin heaven with her leavin nothin but hell behind
And I don't know if she'll be back again
But ill be right here where she left me

Theres no future in this jukebox town
Singin her songs to me
So she took my heart with her guitar
And drove off to tennessee

Cause shes chasin her dreams and shes breakin mine
Shes takin heaven with her leavin nothin but hell behind
And I don't know if she'll be back again
But ill be right here where she left me

"One Of Your Nights"

"One Of Your Nights"


I've had one of those days, good for nothing kinda days
I've had hard luck, bad luck and no luck at all
Girl I need you to be my soft place to fall

So lay your pretty head on my side of the bed
I'll turn it on and on when I turn off those bedroom lights
Say you want me to stay, kiss my worries away, far away
I've had one of those days, good for nothing kinda days
Baby I need one of your nights

I long to hold you tight, fine wine and candlelight
I've had red lights, bar fights, bright lights blinding me
Girl I need your touch to set me free

So lay your pretty head on my side of the bed
I'll turn it on and on when I turn off those bedroom lights
Say you want me to stay, kiss my worries away, far away
I've had one of those days, good for nothing kinda days
Baby I need one of your nights

Girl we've got that kind of romance, one that we'll dance
Without even touching the ground
Remember that night on your street I said I'd sweep you off your feet
Well forever is forever and I'm never gonna let you down
Never ever gonna let you down

So lay your pretty head on my side of the bed
I'll turn it on and on when I turn off those bedroom lights
Say you want me to stay, kiss my worries away, far away
I've had one of those days, good for nothing kinda days
Baby I need one of your nights

I've had one of those days, good for nothing kinda days

"Raise Your Bottle"

"Raise Your Bottle"


There's a memory that rings clear as a bell,
I was bouncin like a bull rider on his knee,
I sure miss those old stories that he'd tell,
From a hobo on a freight train,
To a sailor out at sea,
My granny says that I've got his smile,
He's the reason I take pride in my last name,
No he never made the headlines,
Nobody sings his song,
So for every unsung hero I'm singin this today,

[Chorus:]
So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember,
All the fallen and the price they had to pay,
Hold 'em up high and salute all the ones that made it back,
And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray,

Grandpa would sing you every hank williams song,
But it's amazing grace that brought him back around,
He'd shead a tear talkin about the day,
That german gunner shot his best friend down,

My daddy fought a war some say in vain,
He came home in a wheel chair, he walks with a kane,
Seems like every generation has to pay the cost,
I think about my family and the good friends that we've lost,

[Chorus]

From Normandy to Korea, to Kason Vietnam,
Heartaches streach from coast to coast,
From Bunker Hill to Filucia, Gettysburg to Japan,
Everyone who's ever served or lost someone let's make a toast,

[Chorus]

"Real Good Time"

"Real Good Time"


So cast away all our cares in the world, like a worm on a hook on a cane pole line,
Let your hair down, kick your feet up let a country boy show you a real good time.

So honey lets find a little fun, make a little noise, throw a little sawdust on a hardwood floor,
wanna shine that buckle, while I’m holdin’ you tight, on a good time lonestar Saturday night

Naw, don’t worry bout the preacher man, he used to play fiddle in a honkey tonk band.
I’ll have you there bright and early in the front row pew, Lord knows I love lovin on you

So cast away all our cares in the world, like a worm on a hook on a cane pole line,
Let your hair down, kick your feet up let a country boy show you a real good time.

Call your Mama, tell her don’t wait. Leave the light on cause we’re gonna be late.
Gonna do it up right, Gonna shut the place down, Gonna find a highway a little ways from town,

Down a dirt road, past a windmill, round the pumpjack just over the hill,
there’s a tire swing hangin from a live oak tree, we can flip skinny dippin down in the creek

So cast away all our cares in the world, like a worm on a hook on a cane pole line,
Let your hair down, kick your feet up let a country boy show you a real good time.

Girl let me love you, like its our last night, I wanna see the stars in your eyes,
Then make a little magic there in the moonlight, and top it off with a Texas sunrise.

So cast away all our cares in the world, like a worm on a hook on a cane pole line,
Let your hair down, kick your feet up let a country boy show you a real good time.

So cast away all our cares in the world, like a worm on a hook on a cane pole line,
Let your hair down, kick your feet up let a country boy show you a real good time.

"Reckless"

"Reckless"


I still think about us
In the rush that we felt
With the rag top down and the radio blasting
You were riding shot gun
In nothing but a bikini and a seat belt
Looking better than the law should have been allowing

[Chorus:]
We hit the corners going 90
Lovin' blindly fallin'
Head over heels over you
Every feeling that we felt
Was a feeling that felt brand new
And you looked just like an angel
With that cross on your necklace
You were young, I was wild, we were reckless

We'd drive on down to the river
Burnin' up those hot summer nights
Laughin' at the cowboys getting crazy
Pickin' fights
It wasn't funny
When that deputy, caught you and me
Steaming up those windows
And how your daddy never found out about it
Honey, heaven only knows

[Chorus]

I looked into your eyes and I
Promised you forever
I believed it with all my heart
I just didn't know any better
Gettin' over you took years
Aww despite those tears I cried
I'd do it all over again
All for the thrill of the ride

[Chorus]

Young, wild, and reckless

"Rodeo Queen"

"Rodeo Queen"


We pull into town try to find the fairgrounds
Park this Cadillac out back behind the loading shoots
Finally made the big show traveling with the rodeo
I'm one of the boys that makes sure nobody pays with their

Life ain't easy for a joker like me
I got a smile painted on my face it's only make believe

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen

Every night the crowd goes wild when they see her ridin'
Shining like a diamond she don't even know my name
I try to turn my feelings off before they load the roughstock
Gotta get my stuff together take a shot and forget how much

Time stands still when the bulls starts spinning
When the bull starts spinning, when the bull starts spinning

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen

And maybe by Telluride
I might work up the nerve to tell her I
Ain't just some fool in a barrel no
There's a real heart beating underneath my
Oversized Wranglers yellow suspenders
I might look like it but I ain't a pretender
No, no

I gotta tell her, I gotta tell her, gotta tell her that

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight

She's got me where she wants me
Got me blinkin' when they call for the gate
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt case I'm not thinking straight
I'm in love with the rodeo queen
A clown in love with the rodeo queen

"Rollercoaster Ride"

"Rollercoaster Ride"


I can still see you standing there next to me in the county fair ticket line
With cotton candy in your one hand and your other hand in mine
It seems just like yesterday, letter jackets and football games girl
We've come a long way through the years had our fair share of heartache and tears

[Chorus:]
We've had our ups and downs and turn arounds but our love was stronger than any fight
Even when we lost control we never let go we kept on hangin' on for dear life
I know no matter the size of the mountain you and me will be side by side
Baby ain't life and love one big rollercoaster ride

Back in the day we were cool and crazy like two outlaws on the run
Now making love means making babies and I swear we're having twice the fun
It's been no walk in the park but then again that's not our style
It wouldn't be too entertaining without a little drama every once in awhile

[Chorus]

Baby you still drive me crazy, you still make my heart skip a beat
With those butterfly first time feelings you've always kept me on the edge of my seat

24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God? Through Jesus Christ our Lord!
