"That's What Daddys Do"

"That's What Daddys Do"


I was just a young boy
The day I learned to ride my bike
I asked daddy are you sure if you let go
I'm gonna be alright
He said trust your self my boy
Keep your faith and know that dreams can still come true
And know im her to catch your fall
Cause that's what daddy's do

That's what daddy's do
They shield you from the rain
Shelter in the storm
There to ease your pain
Wherever you may rome
What your going through
Know im by your side
Cause that's what daddy's do

Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na

Now that I'm a grown man
With my own family
Pictures of my daddy on the wall
Of that fade memories
I can still see him standing there
The day he read the doctors news
Though he tried to hide his pain
He smiled and said son that's what daddy's do

That's what daddy's do
They shield you from the rain
Shelter in the storm
There to ease your pain
Wherever you may rome
What your going through
Know I'm by your side
Cause that's what daddy's do

Yeah, know I'm by your side
Cause that's what daddy's do

Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na!

"The American Dream"

"The American Dream"


Well they moved away from the farms they did not own
To live happily ever after on a GI loan
The future was looking bright back in '62
Neath the shadow of atomic bombs and the baby boom

You could take a walk downtown without being afraid
Hey who's the better centerfielder Mantle or Mays
There was chicken in every pot even when times were lean
We thought everybody had a shot at the American dream

Every mother was supposed to look like Donna Reed
Father knew what was best for you and me
Our lives were etched on eight millimeter frames
As we grew up in houses that all looked the same

But there was trouble on the other side of town
It was a time when people began to stand their ground
As the eyes of the world were opened by a man named King
Everybody wanted their share of the American dream

Dream on children dream on
Don't let anybody tell you the dream is gone
As long as there's a God above keep prayin' we never wake up
Keep on dreaming the American dream

Now there's medals on the wall I got back in '91
And a quarter-acre piece of heaven where my kids can run
As I turn off the cable and put my babies to bed
I kiss 'em goodnight and I whisper under my breath

Dream on children dream on...
Keep on dreaming the American dream

"The Beginning"

"The Beginning"


That day
The day that you wakled through
My life story
Every nedd that i
Was praying for
Was gone

I love
I love that you love me
For who i am
And i smile because
That ring on your hand
Means i'm a lucky man

[Chorus:]
Cause i know what i've been living for all this time
And i swear
I could die right now
Having lived a life
And just think
It was only
The beginning

That night
The night our little girl
Would change our life
You looked up at me
And cryed and smiled
As we held our child

I fell
I fell in love with her
Blue eyes and curls
And i swear to god
There's nothing in this world
I won't do for that girl

[Chorus]

Now the kids will grow up
And grow kids of their own
And the day will come
When i'll be gone
When there's nothing left
For pictures and stories
I pray that they'll know who to give the glory

Cause i know
What i've been living for all this time
And i swear
If i die right now
I've lived a life
And just think
When i see
Oh just think
You know i'll be
Oh just think
Whe i'm standing in his grace

It is only
The beginning

"The Buffalo"

"The Buffalo"


Boss said, "Mac, I need to see you
It's Friday afternoon about five
We had to make some cuts around here
Sorry, Mac, you won't survive"

He sat there stunned in silence
The hard word's ringing in his ears
Couldn't believe all the years he'ed given
Suddenly had disappeared

His first thought was, "how do I tell her
That I lost my job today?"
As he left he felt so wounded
And his boss just slipped away

He wondered where's the justice
When I gave it everything I got?
And driving home the fire kicked in
And the feeling sorry for himself just stopped

He said, "I ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo
I will not go quietly the way that they want us to be
Driven from the only life we've known
I ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo

He held her close as he told her the news
Prepared for her to cry
As the afternoon sun was going down
He saw a different look in her eyes

She said, "Baby you've always been my hero
So hold your head up tall and proud
Let them take away everything we own
But we ain't going down

We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo
No, we will not go quietly the way that they want us to be
Driven from the only life we've known
We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo

As they stood there in the darkness
She reached out ant took his hand
She whispered, "Remember, baby, you have the blood of everyone
Who's ever had to make a stand
Who's ever had to find a brand new land

And We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo
No, we will not go quietly the way that they want us to be
Driven from the only life we've known
We ain't gonna go the way of the buffalo

And, baby, who knows what's waiting out there?
As long as we got each other, baby, I don't care

"The Fastest Horse In A One-Horse Town"

"The Fastest Horse In A One-Horse Town"


On a windin' dirt back road
In the hills of Arkansas
In a little country farmhouse
With his mama and his pa
Lived a plain old plough boy
By the name of Colton Mall

He'd never took to farmin'
He had racin' in his blood
Open Wheel and Modified was the only stock he'd run
Had a local reputation
But for Colt that wasn't enough

To be the fastest horse in a one horse town
He leaves them all in the dust
On the fastest tracks around
He gets that fire in his eyes
And takes off like a gun
When the smoke clears
Someone in the crowd hollers
"Son there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town"

He beat it to Daytona
The big boys laughed and said
Looks like they've turned a pack mule loose among these thoroughbreds
Colt said, "This old mule's been places most blue bloods fear to tread."
But a thousand left turns later
Foot still on the gas
The leader watched a car slip by
And beat him to the flag
And painted on the trunk
There were the words
"Boy you just been passed.
By the fastest horse in a one horse town."
He leaves them all in the dust
On the fastest tracks around
And takes off like a gun
When the smoke clears
Someone in the crowd hollers
"Son, there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town."

He's the fastest horse in a one horse town
He leaves them all in the dust
On the fastest tracks around
He gets that fire in his eyes
And takes off like a gun
And when the smoke clears
Someone in the crowd hollers
"Son, there goes the fastest horse in a one horse town."

"The Man"

"The Man"


Awww but something sure is missin
Somethings just aint the same

Now he thinks back on yesterday
All those victory lanes

Better wars just to steal the race
And to taste that sweet champagne

You either loved him or you hated him
Intimidation was to blame

Now Days each time they drop that flag
Somethings just aint the same

Somethings just aint the same
Ohhh they miss The Man Today

So they standin next to cheer
And Wish The Man Was here
Somethings Just aint the same

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

awww he starts up that old chevy truck
And he leaves the parking lot

Hes thinks of all he'd done today
and he thanks god for what hes got

His Youngest Son sittin by his side
Dale Jr's Still a Fan

He knows the future's lookin bright
But He Wont Forget The Man

Somethings just aint the same
Ohhh they miss The Man Today

So they standin next to cheer
And Wish The Man Was here
Somethings Just never change

So they standin next to cheer
and toast him with their beer
Somethings will never change
Nooo no noooo

[Softer Spoken]
Theres a Three Upon his ball cap
and a three upon his shirt
He Remembers how he ran this track
and all those old ones in the dirt

"The Other Side"

"The Other Side"


Oh I've heard about the streets of gold
Since I was just a kid
Stories that my grandpa told
The truths that he unhid
Preacher man sang a song of love
Our Savior was his pride
And he told of the perfect place
Just beyond the other side

Well there won't be no more sickness
Sorrow, death or pain
The sun will shine forever
No more darkness, no more rain
Glory hallelujah
Will echo through the halls
The other side is waitin'
Should our maker come to call

The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God
The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide
The pearly gates will open
If You reach the other side

The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God
The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide
The pearly gates will open
If when You reach the other side

The wait'l sure be worth it
When You reach the other side
Oh, the other side

"The Past"

"The Past"


Back when I was young when I was just a kid
The foolish things we done the secrets that we hid
Out on our playground where I first touched your lips
Our first taste of love upon our fingertips

Now I go back in time to a place they call the past
Where dreams are make believe and love can really last
Sometimes it's all so real and it's always way too fast
It's crazy world we live in the past

[guitar]

Now I go back in time...

"These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"

"These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"


You keep a sayin' you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been messin' where you shouldn't been a messin'
And now someone else is gettin' all your best

Well these boots are made for walkin' and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
And you keep loosin' when you ought enough bad
You keep a samin' when you oughta be changin'
Now what's right is right and you ain't been right yet

Well these boots are made for walkin'...

[guitar]

You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin'
And you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burned
Well I've just found me a brand new box of matches
And what she knows you ain't had time to learn

Well these boots are made for walkin'...

"Three Little Words"

"Three Little Words"


Do I love you yes a thousand times and lately I been going out of my mind
I get the feeling you're pulling away it's gonna hurt me if you won't stay
Can't stand the thought of being alone you need to be there when I get home
If you could tell me just one more time it would surely ease my mind
Three little words would be fine

I love you I love you
I need to know that you're still mine
Three little words would be fine

It's gotten crazy I don't understand how can love get so out of hand
I've never been so uncertain before is there someone behind another door
I've got to know if I'm right or wrong with mixed emotions I can't go on
I've got to know that I'm not blind just lay it on the line
Three little words would be fine

I love you I love you...

[guitar]

Can't stand the thought of being alone...
I love you I love you...
I love you I love you I love you
