"Just Playin' Possum"

"Just Playin' Possum"



I parked my car 'round back
I've got the shades pulled down
I told everybody including my mama
I was leaving town
But I've been right here
Since you've been gone
Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle
Listening to George Jones

And just playin' possum
Laying low
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Don't want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
I'm just playin' possum
And laying low

I'm gonna hide my heart
And be a love recluse
Oh I could cry on my best friend's shoulder
But there ain't no use
I need an expert on
The pain I'm going through
So I'll keep George on the old turntable
'Til I'm over you

And just playin' possum
Laying low
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Don't want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
I'm just playin' possum
And laying low

He's playin' possum
And he's laying low

"Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'"

"Kiss An Angel Good Mornin'"



Whenever a chance to meet
Some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man
Get to be this way
I always got a smiling face
Any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why
I just smile and say

You've got to kiss angel good mornin'
And let her know you think
About her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like the devil
When you get back home

Now people may try to guess
The secret of happeniness
Some of them never learn
It's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of
Is a woman and a man in love
And the anwser is in this song
That I always sing

You got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think
About her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like the devil
When you get back home

Kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think
About her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like the devil
When you get back home...

"Knew All Along"

"Knew All Along"



The things you taught me just a little while
Would've taken me a hundred years
I can't imagine travelin' these miles
Without somebody like you here

I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
But I didn't know it was gonna be today

I remember the places that we've been
The little things we used to do
Looking back now that's when I began
To realize that I'm a lot like you

I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
But I didn't know it was gonna be today

Friends and family help to pass the time
I'm thumbing through pictures of you
Feelin' lonesome, missin' you and cryin'
That's not what you'd want me to do

I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
'Cause he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
But I didn't know it was gonna be today
No, I didn't know it was gonna be today

"Laid Back 'n Low Key"

"Laid Back 'n Low Key"


Laid back in Low Key, you and me on that white powered beach
Side by side with the sand and the sea, laid back in Low Key

Gentle roar of the wave on the shore
Makes its way through the crack neath the door
Wake up call from the ocean floor down in Avid Cove

Were laid back in Low Key, you and me on that white powered beach
Side by side with the sand and the sea, laid back in Low Key

[Instrumental Interlude]

Tequila Sunrise with a coconut base, hammock swingin in the palm tree shade
Standard Island beach Resort cliche, hey, but thats okay

Were laid back in Low Key, you and me on that white powered beach
Side by side with the sand and the sea, laid back in Low Key

Wind blowin on the back of my neck, sun reflectin off that tan on your breast
Found that feelin that we lost long ago down in Avid Cove

Were laid back in Low Key, you and me on that white powered beach
Side by side with the sand and the sea, laid back in Low Key

Were laid back in Low Key, you and me on that white powered beach
Side by side with the sand and the sea, laid back in Low Key

"Leaning On The Everlasting Arms"

"Leaning On The Everlasting Arms"


What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

[Refrain:]
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
[Refrain]

"Let It Be Christmas"

"Let It Be Christmas"



Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the hearts of all people
Both near and afar
Christmas everywhere
Feel the love of the season where ever you are
On the small country roads
Lined with green mistletoe
Big city streets where a thousand lights glow

Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing
Let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas, Christmas everywhere

Let it be Christmas everywhere
With the gold and the silver, the green and the red
Christmas everywhere
In the smiles of all children asleep in their beds
In the eyes of young babies
Their first fallen snow
The elderly's memories that never grow old
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing
Let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas, Christmas everywhere

Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the songs that we sing
And the gifts that we bring
Christmas everywhere
In what this day means
And what we believe
From the sandy white beaches
Where blue water rolls
Snow covered mountains and valleys below

Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing
Let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas, Christmas everywhere
Christmas everywhere
Christmas everywhere

"Let's Get Back To Me And You"

"Let's Get Back To Me And You"



I'm always on the road
You're always all alone
And I'm not always there when I'm at home

But I'm ready for a little change
I'm ready to accept some blame
So let's back up to yesterday

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

It's not like it was
When we fell in love
When all we had was enough

Well I don't like the blues
I like love that's true
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Well honey, let's get on back to me and you

"Life Keeps Bringing Me Down"

"Life Keeps Bringing Me Down"



I'm the poorest old boy that you will ever see
Life keeps bringing me down
Whenever I'm trying living above my means,
Life keeps bringing me down.

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
Blues keep coming around
Hard living's gonna be the death of me,
Life keeps bringing me down.

When the Clouds roll in and the sun won't shine
Life keeps bringing me down
Now my dollar bills ain't worth a dime
Life keeps bringing me down

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
Big tears drops hitting the ground
Well, it won't stop raining on this heart of mine
Life keeps bringing me down.

Yeah, I hate to wake up when the morning comes,
Life keeps bringing me down
But I drank a pot of coffee and I'm on the run
Life keeps bringing me down.

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down,
The world keeps spinning around.
Yeah that old rat race it ain't no fun
Life keeps bringing me down.

I've got a mountain of debt to crawl out from under
Life keeps bringing me down
But one of these days I'm gonna hit the numbers,
Life keeps bringing me down.

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down,
I'm all ground down to the bottom of the ground
Yeah, it's been a bummer the whole damn summer,
Life keeps bringing me down.
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down.

"Life Or Love"

"Life Or Love"


I tried to stay on the straight and narrow
But I've walked a crooked path
And I've felt worthy of forgiveness
And deservin' heaven's wrath
Right on the money and off by a mile
Ahead of my time and way out of style

[Chorus:]
But I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love

Well, I try to stay away from the bottle
But I've reached out for the glass
I try to pull back on the throttle
But I still run out of gas
I've been an angel, but never a saint
Hung with the devil, don't nobody faint

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love

Yesterday's history, today is a chance
Tomorrow is a mystery, so I'm makin' plans

[Chorus:]
To keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love
I keep hangin' tough, I ain't had enough
I ain't givin' up on life or love, life or love...

"Like Red On A Rose"

"Like Red On A Rose"



Like red on a rose
When your lips first smiled at me
I was captured instantly
To each his own

Like blue in the sky
The gaze of your willing eyes
Touched something deep inside
The truth be known

That I love you
like all little children love pennies
And I love you cause
I know that I can't do anything wrong
You're where I belong
Like red on a rose

And I love you like
all little children love pennies
And I love you like
good times of which I've known many
And I love you cause
I know you give me a heart of my own
You make my blood flow
Like red on a rose
