"It Did"

"It Did"



A single red rose and a table for two
A nice chardonay and an ocean view
Ships comin in and stars comin out
We sat and we talked till the place closed down
Then we took a long walk down on the beach
Her in that white dress and her bare feet
We stopped and we watched the lighthouse light
And pulled her close and i held on tight
And i said to myself
It doesnt get better than this
No it doesnt get better than this

And it did
It did
Whoa it did

Fastforeward to that next spring
We were lookin for a preacher
Pickin out rings
Family comin in and friends comin out
To that white church on the outskirts of town
Me in that tux fightin butterflies
Tears of joy in the mommas eyes
Her daddy walkin her down the aisle
He lifted that veil and i saw that smile
And i said
To myself
It doesnt get better than this

No it doesnt get better than this

But it did
It did
Oh it did

Just when i start thinkin its as good as it can get
This crazy life does somethin just to let me know
I haven't seen anything yet

Nine months later nearly to the day
There we were flyin down the interstate
Car weavin in and car weavin out
Through traffic runnin every red light in town
Delivery room and the doctor comes in
I'm right beside and shes squeezin my hand
One more push and a baby cries
Sweet little angel with his momma's eyes
And i said
To myself
It doesnt get better than this
No it doesnt get better than this

But it did
It did
Oh it did
Yes it did

"It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway"

"It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway"



Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor
They're just tiny little rumors
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you
Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous
And I'm sure those other fellas
Never once believed the lies I told were true

Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway

Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin'
All the crazy things I'm doin'
Is because I really care about you girl
And I'll admit I go a little farther
Than I know I probably oughta
But it's all because I need you in my world

Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway

I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself

Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favor
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway

It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you
And it never woulda worked out anyway

"JKF 1962"


"But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." - [President John Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon Speech]

"Karate"
(feat. Charlie Daniels)

"Karate"
(feat. Charlie Daniels)



She doesn’t dare go in the place with those bruises on her face
So she goes through the drive-thru and keeps her sunglasses on
She didn’t know when she married that man
She’d get to know him like the back of his hand
But now she’s had enough, and the battle lines are drawn

He’s in a bar chasing Cuervo with Tecate
He doesn’t know she’s been taking karate
The way she figures it about July
She’ll finally have the belt to match her eye

She’s on a mission as the months pass
Five days a week and never misses a class
And now she’s up to breakin’ boards and concrete blocks

He’s in a bar chasing Cuervo with Tecate
He doesn’t know she’s been taking karate
Now here it is just about July
She’s gonna get that belt to match her eye

He stumbled through the door tonight
And started treatin’ her rough
Well, she took one look at him and her training kicked in
And she’d finally had enough

He threw a punch, she spun around
Grabbed his arm and put him on the ground
Grabbed a cuttin’ board on his way down and she kicked it in half
His knees hit the floor, his chin hit a chair
Knocked out his tooth and it flew through the air
Grabbed his head by the back of his hair and slammed him into the fridge
She landed a left, a right and then a left
She landed a roundhouse right in his chest and a scissor punch upside his head
Broke his nose, swept a leg, he started to fall
And on his way down, she took a bow, and the lights went out

He’s on the floor like he went a round with Rocky
He didn’t know she’d been taking karate
A hundred bucks says tomorrow night
She’s got a brand new belt that’s gonna match his eye

He doesn’t dare go in the place with those bruises on his face
So he goes through the drive-thru with his sunglasses on

"Kung Pao Buckaroo Holiday"
(feat. Kung Pao Buckaroos)



Well it's a Kung Pao Buckaroo holiday
Whatever you do watch what you say
If you're easily offended well that's ok
It's a completely non-offensive
And politically correct holiday

"Let The Good Times Roll"
(feat. B.B. King)



Hey everybody, let's have fun
You only live but once and when you're dead you're done
You better let the good time roll, baby, oh, let's get it own mama
And I don't care if you're old now
Get yourself together and let the good time roll

Don't sit there mumbling, talkin' trash
If you want to have a ball you got to go out, spend some cash
L-l-let the good times roll, babe, oh baby, oh baby
And I don't care if you're old now, get together and let the good time roll

Hey y'all tell everybody, Ray Charles' in town
Got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock now
Don't let nobody, play me cheap
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep

I'm gonna let the good times roll now, oh baby, oh baby
And I don't care if you're old now, get together and let the good time roll

Hey no matter whether, rainy weather
If you want to have a ball you got to get yourself together
Oh, get yourself under control
Ohh, yeah, oh

"Letter To Me"

"Letter To Me"


If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know its tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare

[1st Chorus]
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me

At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your brakes
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and daddy is right
And you should really thank Mrs. Bringman
She spend so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishing you 'til you shine

[2nd Chorus]
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me

You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end up saying have no fear
These are nowhere near the best years of your life

I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. "go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can"

[3rd Chorus]
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see

If I could write a letter to me
To me

"Life's Railway To Heaven"
(feat. Marty Stuart, Sheryl Crow and Carl Jackson)

"Life's Railway To Heaven"
(feat. Marty Stuart, Sheryl Crow and Carl Jackson)



Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch for curves and hills and valleys
Never falter never fail
And keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide
There you'll meet the Superintendent
God, the Father, God, the Son
With a hearty joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

So turn it on, turn it up
And sing along

"Limes"

"Limes"


Ain't gotta have everything in your life
Going exactly right to party
Maybe the opposite, things are a mess
And that's the best time to burn it down
You look around here and you see all these people
You think their lives are perfect, huh, hardly
Now I don't have all the answers but I'll tell you
The one thing I've found

[Chorus:]
You take it all with a grain of salt
And realize sometimes it ain't your fault
You got something you don't want to remember
That's when you need to just throw it in a blender
And have a good time
Now add tequila
When life gives you limes
You make margaritas

Now I don't know if you're the type
That sees the glass that's half full or half empty
But I've got an idea how 'bout I never let you get that low
Whatever is done is done, the night is young
Let's have some fun, are you with me
And try to forget the sh*t that hit the fan
The only way that I know

You take it all with a grain of salt
And realize sometimes it ain't your fault
You got something you don't want to remember
That's when you need to just throw it in a blender
And have a good time
Now add tequila
When life gives you limes
You make margaritas

Have a good time
Now add tequila
You're gonna be
You're gonna be just fine
When life gives you limes
You make margaritas

"Little Moments"

"Little Moments"



Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that

Well that's just like this last year on my birthday
She lost all track of time and burnt the cake
And every smoke detector in the house was goin' off
And she was just about to cry until I took her in my arms
And I tried not to let her see me laugh
Yeah I live for little moments like that

I know she's not perfect but she tries so hard for me
And I thank god that she isn't 'cause how boring would that be
It's the little imperfections it's the sudden change in plans
When she misreads the directions and we're lost but holdin' hands
Yeah I live for little moments like that

When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that
