"Thrillbilly"

"Thrillbilly"


Shootin' at a beer can on a fence post
Drivin' to your girlfriend's on a backhoe
Goin' skinny'dippin' on an old wood dock
Startin' up a bonfire with gasoline
Seein' who can get higher on a rope swing
Burnin' up your new tires in the parkin lot

Let me tell you right now
Just in case u don't know

[Chorus:]
That's thrillbilly
Real hillbilly
That's thrillbilly
Till the cows come home
That's down-home style
Mixed with buck wild
So get on down and you'll be proud
Of how you roll
That's thrillbilly [x2]

Flippin' off a barn roof into a haystack
Sippin' on some homebrew sittin' outback
Thinkin' it'd be col to build a submarine
Dragin' down a two lane with your lights off
Hoppin' on a freight train at a feed lot
Raisin' you some bi cain- in john deere green
Here's come bubba on his four-wheeler
"Hey man, y'all watch this"

[Chorus:]
That's thrillbilly
Real hillbilly
That's thrillbilly
Till the cows come home
That's down-home style
Mixed with buck wild
So get on down and you'll be proud
Of how you roll
That's thrillbilly [x2]
OH!, hillbilly

So get on down and you'll be proud
Of how you roll

"Throwin' Stones"

"Throwin' Stones"


You build me up just to tear me down
You're slammin' my name all over this town
Girl I can't believe what you're puttin' me through
Breaking my heart with the things that you do
Every story has a lesson to learn it won't be long till you take your turn
Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you

As you sow so you reap what you love is what you keep
You told me that your heart was mine
Yet behind my back you shared your time
Join the club you've paid your dues
It won't be long till you're singin' the blues
Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you
For you for you for you

[harmonica]

Every dog must have its day we all know there's a price to pay
You gotta pay the piper if you wanna dance
Live with it baby when you take a chance
All good things gotta come to an end ask your Maker about your sins
Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you

Cause what goes up must come down
You're throwin' stones and they'll come back around for you
For you for you for you

"Time Flies"

"Time Flies"


It's living int he moment today
Got down ont he floor and played with my little girl
For a little while
It's crazy how much she's grown
It seems last I looked she was so small but she sure ain't now
But she's around that age her first memories are made
Oh I remember being that young once
I think it was yesterday
Time flies
Blows by
Feels like
I've missed so many things
Time flies
And sometimes
God I wish you'd clip it's wings
Another day is winding down
There you stand in that cotton gown
The one you wore when we first made love
Back when this was just a dream, no house, no kids
The only thing we had then was us
And babe I can't help but miss that now and then
'Cause all those old tomorrows
Ain't coming back again
Time flies
Blows by
Feels like
I've missed so many things
Time flies
And sometimes
God I wish you'd clip it's wings
Time flies
God I, God I wish you'd clip it's wings
God why can't you clip it's wings
Time flies
Time flies

"Time For Letting Go"

"Time For Letting Go"


I've been holding back words and waiting for time
There's a lesson here somewhere I know it's mine
Though I'll remember the promise we made
Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore

It's time for letting go we can't hide what we both know
But ooh the hurtin' grows every time I think it's over

You've been keeping all your secrets inside
I know the truth now baby you don't have to hide
But my mind wanders to the very first day
What a shame things had to turn out this way

Now I know it's time for letting go...

No words could bring back your affection
And no lies could keep me holding on holding on and holding on

Now I know it's time for letting go...

It's time to realize that we're both just living lies
And way down deep inside the time is telilng me it's time for letting go

Let it go I keep telling myself over and over
Let it go but my love's still strong I just can't keep on holding on
I know it's time for letting go time for letting go

"Tip Of My Heart"

"Tip Of My Heart"


It's on the tip of my heart, the words to say
But I fall apart and then I walk away
There's an angry world pressed against my back
And down every turn I keep looking back

And I know You promise me
Love through eternity
So why can't I just hold on

I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

So want You take my hand
Because I'm sinking in
To this life I've made, but don't understand
The clock moves so slowly
Time goes so fast
But in this world wind world that will never last

This love You're giving me
It's not just make believe
Help me to just hold on

I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

Open the sky's
Open my eyes
And all my fears scatter away
So I walk in grace, 'cause I've seen Your face
And You are all that matters to me

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna love
I'm not afraid because Your grace will always be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
I want to live, I want to love
I'm not afraid because Your grace will always be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me

But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

"Tomorrow Became Yesterday"

"Tomorrow Became Yesterday"


We were young, barely outta school,
Fell in love like lovers do,
And the whole world seemed brand new,

Had a little girl and a little boy,
How we shared in our pride and joy,
And each day another dream came true,

Somehow it all just slipped away,
Oh how a memory fades,
Sunny skies turned to grey,
Tomorrow became yesterday,

You had a smile that I recall,
I see you laughin' there in the hall,
With that look twinklin' in your eyes,

We used to talk for hours on end,
Dreamed of forever remember when,
The only thing I didn't love was saying goodbye,

Now we stand here on the fray,
Not really knowin' just what to say,
Should I go or should I stay,

Tomorrow became Yesterday [x3]

We were young, barely outta school,
Fell in love like lovers do,
And the whole world seemed brand new,

Never dreamed how things would change,
How our lives have rearranged,
I'd look around and you'd be gone,
Somehow you just moved on,

Now it's time to turn the page,
Walk away to another stage,
I pray to God this memory never fades,

Tomorrow became yesterday [x2]

We were young barely outta school,
Fell in love like lovers do,
And the whole world seemed brand new.

"Touchy Subject"

"Touchy Subject"


I'll sit and talk baby all night long
We can discuss whatever you want
We'll share our secrets our little white lies
Before we're through we'll be bona fide worldly-wise
But thtere's one thing I wanna leave in the past
So don't bring it up don't even ask

Cause that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Right now I can't explain it I'm better off without it
Oh I'm begging you please
Don't even whisper one little word about love
Cause that's a touchy subject with me

Don't take the shine off our moment together
It's way too soon to talk about forever
Go ahead and get a little closer to me
But darlin' won't you do me one courtesy
Let's hold off on our wants and our needs
We both know right where that leads

And that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it...

[sax]

Touchy subject it hurts to talk about it
It starts rainin' mem'ries and I feel like I'm drownin'
Oh I'm beggin' you please
Don't even whisper one little word about love

Cause that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Right now I can't explain it I'm better off without it
It's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Can't explain it it's a touchy subject

"Trail Of Tears"

"Trail Of Tears"


Too many broken promises too many trail of tears
Too many times you were left cold for oh so many years

Too many times you walked away and was made to feel ashamed
And though you only tried to give you were often blamed

[mandolin]

How can this world be so dark so unfair and so untrue
How did the cards of life fold right on top of you

[guitar]

God in heaven hear my prayer ff you are still above
Send the children hopes and dreams and lots and lots of love

For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears
And let them soar like eagles across the trail of tears

"Truth Is, I Lied"

"Truth Is, I Lied"


Scratched a heart on your door then I showed myself outside
Lashed my soul cross this twin-V horse and rode off in the night
Guess you noticed I'm gone and the low
Morning sun's cast some shadows with questions inside
So truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new light

Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be vour whippin' pet
I lied when I said I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive
Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinkin' bout thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky
It was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside
Now the morning and me ride a cold memory
Past tomorrow to some other town
Where we'll never care whether this truth was lost or found

Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be vour whippin' pet...

[guitar]

Truth is I lied

"Under The Hood"

"Under The Hood"


Well my first love was a little Corvette all done up in lipstick red
I thought it'd last forever till the motor blew
Well I guess I didn't look close enough it's a little bit just like falling in love
Looks don't mean a thing if the heart ain't true

It might be a cool ride smooth lines
Something been custom made out in Hollywood
But when you get done gazing at the outside
You better start checking out the inside
If you want a love built to last you better look real good
And see what's under the hood

Sporty little model standin' by the door
So I took her for a spin on the old dance floor
Headlights shining bright but nobody home
Now I need somethin' that's more my speed
Got a whole lotta time to find what I need
So I put her in park and headed on off for home

It might be a cool ride smooth lines...

[guitar]

Well it might be a cool ride smooth lines...
You better look real good and see what's under the hood
