"Wanna Be Your Joe"

"Wanna Be Your Joe"


Joe works at the steel mill
Works damn near every day
Leaves for work when the sun comes up
Drops the kids at school along the way
(Kids at school along the way)

When the night is falling
He gets home and hugs his wife
He says how much he missed her
And that he loves her more than life, yeah

More than life

Joe may never be a rich man
No lawyer, or movie star
He may not own the finest jewelry
And he may not drive the nicest car
Joe has everything he dreamed of
All the treasures that he needs
No wonder Joe's always smiling
He only aims to please, yeah

Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe

You are just a woman and I am just a man
Though I may not feel every need
I hope you understand

I wanna be your Joe
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe

I just wanna love you
I just wanna be your man
I just wanna hold you
Love you with all that I am
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe

I wanna be your Joe

"We Fought Hard"

"We Fought Hard"


My big brother broke my arm
Roughhousing out in our backyard
He'd hold me down till I couldn't breathe
Still think he put the tough in me, we fought hard

We both dated Katy Lee
He swore he kissed her before me
We saw her out with a boy named Jack
When it all went down I had his back, we fought hard

We fought hard, we fought real
No, you couldn't tell us different
We thought we were made of steel

We went all in, we gave 'em hell
Every loss and every victory
Is a story we could tell

These sweet scars that left their mark
We fought hard

They shipped us out, 2001
To a battle in the desert sun
I won't lie, I was scared
But at least I had my brother there
We fought hard

We fought hard, we fought real
No, you couldn't tell us different
We thought we were made of steel

We went all in, we gave 'em hell
Every loss and every victory
Is a story we could tell

These sweet scars that left their mark
We fought hard

Rode in the plane, I brought him home
Couldn't let him come back all alone
I met my mama at the gate
And all that I could think is

Was mama, we fought hard
And we fought real
Though you tried to tell us different
We thought we were made of steel

We went all in, we gave 'em hell
I never thought this'd be the story
That I'd ever have to tell

These sweet scars they leave their mark
We fought hard

"We The People"

"We The People"


The farmers rise up every morning at five
The truckers drive them eigteen wheelers all night
The factory workers they build it with pride
Twenty-four seven down the assembly line
In every city in every town
Somebody's got to make the world go round

We the people move it we the people know
We the people we run the country
We the people prove it we're the heart and soul
We the people we are the country

Here's to every salesman on the telephone line
And every waitress working hard for those dimes
The middle managers who punch overtime
And anyone fighting wars fires and crimes
Day after day year after year
The mint might print them but the buck stops here

We the people move it...

We pay the taxes we pay the bills
So they better pay attention up on Capitol Hill

We the people move it...

We the people choose it we the people vote
We the people we run the country
We the people rock it we the people roll
We the people we are the country

We the people move it...

"What Else Is There"

"What Else Is There"


I've got a chair, you've got a bed,
We've got a dream or two running through our heads,
You can't cook, and I don't care,
What else is there?

I've got a car, you've got a room,
We can talk all night or make love by the moon,
Feel the love in the air,
What else is there?

[Chorus:]
People talk about troubles
Till there blue in the face,
Run around in circles
That's the whole human race,
I've got my own life figured out,
You're the sweetest thing I've ever found,
God's smilin' down,
What else is there?

You've got this calm, I'm kinda crazy,
Might be a real cool combination in a baby,
Your eyes, my hair,
What else is there?

[Chorus:]
People talk about troubles
Till there blue in the face,
Run around in circles
That's the whole human race,
I've got my own life figured out,
You're the sweetest thing I've ever found,
God's smilin' down,
What else is there?

Years from now, even then,
We'll get old and maybe go to bed by ten,
I'll hold your hand to climb the stairs,
What else is there?

Oh, What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?
(You know what we're talkin' about...)
What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?...

"When I'm Gone"

"When I'm Gone"


Well it seems you thought it over and you feel I'm not the one
And you think you might do better on your own
You say lover's vows only hold you down so I guess I'm moving on
But what'll you think about me when I'm gone

What'll you think about me when I'm gone said and done
When old mem'ries fall like footsteps will you think it's me coming home
Well I thought your eyes could see compromise
But that's one thing you've never done
What'll you think about me when I'm gone

Will some other's kiss taste sweeter or will my pictures haunt your room
Will it make your nights pass easier or will you think you were a fool
When my pillow's bare and you're lying there will a heartache linger on
What'll you think about me when I'm gone
What'll you think about me when I'm gone

"Wher'm I Gonna Live?"

"Wher'm I Gonna Live?"


Where'm I gonna live when I get home
My ole lady's throwed out everything I own
She meant what she said when she wished I was dead
So where'm I gonna live when I get home

I knew our road was gettin' kinda rocky
She said I was gettin' way too cocky
She waited till I was gone she packed from dusk till dawn
So where'm I gonna live when I get home

Where'm I gonna live when I get home...

[piano - guitar]

She decided she would keep my cat
My transportation I wouldn't be a needin' that
She kept my TV the bills she gave to me
So where'm I gonna live when I get home

Where'm I gonna live when I get home...

Where'm I gonna live when I get home
Where'm I gonna live where'm I gonna live
Where'm I gonna live when I get home

"Without You"

"Without You"


I hear your footsteps down the hall
I check my messages but I don't hear you call
I think of days gone by and now I wonder why you left me
But I can't go on without you without you

Sometimes I wander on my way
Sometimes I just break down and pray
Sometimes I think of you and I don't know what to do
And I wonder how I will go on without you
How I will go on without your love
Without you no I can't go on without you
Without you

I can't stop missin' you oh if I only knew do you miss me
Cause I can't go on without you I can't go on without you
I can't go on without your love
Without you no I can't go on without you
No I can't go on without you oh no no no

I hear your footsteps down the hall
I check my messages but I don't hear you call
And once again I'm all alone without you
No I can't go on without you no I can't go on without you
No I can't go on without you no I can't go on without you

"Words By Heart"

"Words By Heart"


I was goin' through the closet back in my old home
Found my leatherman's jacket so I slipped it on
Deep in the pocket still folded up tight
Was the letter you wrote to tell me goodbye

The minute I saw it I just had to smile
It smelled like old leather as smooth as a child
I took a deep breath then put it away
There was no need to read I knew just what it would say

I know the words by heart I know every line
From this ain't easy to you'll get along just fine
I know every comma every question mark
No I don't have to look I know the words by heart

Scenes like home old movies flash through my head
The homecoming game that the night on my bed
The words that you wrote still cut me in two
How you said you still cared but that we were through

I know the words by heart I know every line...

Ain't it funny how a memory can play tricks on your mind
I don't remember a thing from my classes but I can qoute you every line

I took off my jacket and put it away
With your note in the pocket like I found it that day
Poured me a beer then pictured your face
And drank a silent toast to things that time can't erase

I know the words by heart I know every line...
I know the words by heart I know every line...

"Wouldn't You Do This For Me?"

"Wouldn't You Do This For Me?"


He's halfin' his sandwich, his chips and Baby Ruth
Puttin' them back in a sack his mama packed
With a sticker that say's 'Jesus Loves You'
He's jumpin off the bus, runnin' in the house
Talkin' to mom about his day
Hidin' that paper sack in a baseball glove
Ridin' his bike straight to the freeway
Where there's an old man with a shoppin' cart
With a dirty face and a purple heart
Who's sayin' son you'll never know how much this means

Boy say's
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reachin' out to you
Wouldn't you give me food to eat if I were hungry to
Wouldn't you do this for me

Tonight, that little boy's dad is flyin' down the freeway
It's pourin' rain as he leaves the road
He's rolling down that concrete bank
Through the flames and the broken glass
An old man takes his hand
Finds a cell phone on the backseat
He's sayin' get here fast as you can
Now the bum that lives beneath the bridge
Pulls him safely from that flooding ditch
Man asked why'd you risk your life to save mine

He said
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reachin' out to you
Wouldn't you try to save my life, if I needed you to
Wouldn't you do this for me

Now he's layin' in that hospital bed prayin' a silent prayer
And he can't help but ask him,
Lord, did you put that beggar there
As a nurse pulls back the curtains
All he can see is a billboard sign
A sixty foot Jesus hangin' on the cross
At the bottom, just one line

Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you

"You Can't Lose Me"

"You Can't Lose Me"


You can lose your faith in loving
You can lose the will to trust and you'll see
You can't lose me

You can lose control, let lose your senses
Lose your strength, lose your defenses
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you can't lose me

You can't lose me 'cause I'm not leaving
You can't lose me 'cause I won't go
I'm gonna be there like a shadow
You won't ever be alone

I'll be the sun that shines down on you
All around you, everywhere
I'll be there, I'll be there

You can lose your way, lose your possessions
Lose your mind and lose direction
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you can't lose me

Oh, I wanna be there

You can't lose me 'cause I'm not leaving
You can't lose me 'cause I won't go
I'm gonna be there like a shadow
And you won't ever be alone

I'll be the sun that shines upon you
All around you, everywhere
I'll be there, I'll be there

You can't lose me
You can't lose me
You can't lose me, no

You can lose your way, lose your possessions
Lose your mind and lose direction
But you'll see, you'll see, you'll see, you can't lose me

Oh, I wanna be there
I wanna be, I wanna be there
Turn around and there I'll be
Yeah, I'll be, oh, yeah

I wanna be, I wanna be there
Turn around and there I'll be
Turn around, turn around, oh
Turn [?] and I'll be
