"Long Sermon"

"Long Sermon"


They've read the scripture, they've passed the plate
And we're both prayin' he don't preach late
But he's gettin' "Amens," and that's just our luck
Yeah, it's eighty-five degrees outside and he's just gettin' warmed up

[Chorus]
Oh you and me, we could be soakin' up that sun
Findin' out just how fast your brother's boat'll run
I tell you there ain't nothin' that'll test your faith
Like a long sermon on a pretty Sunday

Well it's been rainin' all week long
I woke up this mornin', the dark clouds were gone
We've both been raised not to miss church
But on a day like today heaven knows how much it hurts

[Chorus]

See that sunlight shinin' through that stained glass
How much longer is this gonna last

[Chorus]

"Love Her Like She's Leavin'"
(feat. Don Henley)

"Love Her Like She's Leavin'"
(feat. Don Henley)



We cut the cake, everybody danced, and some people drank too much.
You looked like the cover, of a bride's magazine, and I looked like some guy in a tux.
I'll never forget, when your Uncle Bill, pulled up a chair and sat down,
And said "Son I've been married now 45 years, " and he pointed at you through the crowd,

And said

"Love her like she's leaving,
Like it's all gonna end, if you don't.
Love her like she's leaving,
Oh and I guarantee, she won't."

He said "It's sending her flowers, for no reason at all. And notes on the fridge every day.
An unexpected gift, at an unexpected time, that keeps the lawyers away.
And it's easy to take forever for granted, with tin cans tied to your car.
And I know she tells you that she'll always be there, but I'm telling you if you're smart, "

"You'll love her like she's leaving,
Like all it's gonna end, if you don't.
Love her like she's leaving,
Oh and I guarantee, she won't."

"Yeah, she could have any man she wants, you know it's true.
Best way to keep her, is to keep her wanting you."

"Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't."

"Yeah, I guarantee she won't."

"Love Is Never-Ending"

"Love Is Never-Ending"


Seasons come and seasons go
One day sun, the next day snow
Flowers die and flowers grow
But love is never-ending

You can't kill it with goodbye
It always finds a place to hide
Inside your heart for your whole life
Love is never-ending

[Chorus]
When the lights have all gone down
It'll still be hangin' 'round
Even when you think it's lost, it can still be found
When every memory has been made
And the pages start to fade
And every prayer you ever prayed is heaven bound
When you think the ride is over
You're back at the beginning
Love is never-ending

When a man and woman start growin' old
The fire of passion may grow cold
But what they got still warms their soul
Love is never-ending

[Repeat chorus]

It keeps goin' on and on
Long after we're all gone away

Time may change what you believe
But one day the truth will set you free
Just have faith and you will see
Love is never-ending
Love is never-ending

"Make A Mistake"

"Make A Mistake"


You over think things
You say what if we're not meant to be
Well you know what so what
Make a mistake with me

Nobody goes through this life and does
Everything perfectly
We're all gonna fail so you might as well
Make a mistake with me

[Bridge]
Sometimes baby when we take
A chance that has this much at stake
We look back and in hindsight
What seemed wrong looks more like right

So I say worst case we'll be left with
Lots of good memories
This chance we have well it's worth that
So make a mistake with me

I'm tellin' you the right thing to do
Is make a mistake
Make a mistake
Make a mistake with me

"Me And Jesus"

"Me And Jesus"



I knew a man, that once was a sinner
I knew a man, that once was a drunk
I knew a man, that once was a loser
He went out in the woods and made an altar out of a stump

And me and Jesus got our own thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our own thing going
And we don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

We can't afford no fancy preaching
We can't afford no fancy church
We can't afford no fancy singing
But don't you know God's got a lot of good people out doing his work

And me and Jesus got our own thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our own thing going
And we don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

Me and Jesus got our own thing going
Me and Jesus got it all worked out
Me and Jesus got our own thing going
And we don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about

"Me Neither"

"Me Neither"



Darlin' I've been standin' here just watchin' you all night
And I think I've even caught you watchin' me a couple times
If I don't ask I'll never know
This may sound dumb, but here we go
Do you believe in love at first sight

Me neither
I'm glad that we agree
Believe me
That's a big relief
Well, this place is awful crowded
And this music is so loud
Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat
Me neither

It's nice to finally meet a girl who doesn't move too fast
I was only checkin', that's the reason that I asked
Relationships need time to grow
You and I should take this slow
And darlin' tell me, would you like to dance

Me neither
I was just bein' polite
Thank goodness
My feet are much too tired
I'm sure you're tired too
I can see an empty booth
Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while
Me neither
We'd never get along
I'm thinkin' there's no chemistry at all
This has been a waste of time
And I'm runnin' outta lines
Don't you think it's time for me to end this song
Me neither

"Moonshine In The Trunk"

"Moonshine In The Trunk"


Got a '69 Camaro with a Ram Jet 502
I could win the pole at Bristol, baby
But I'm ridin' ‘round with you
Bored as hell we might as well
Burn this tank of gas
‘Cause if we're goin' nowhere, girl
Let's go nowhere fast

[Chorus:]
Like there's moonshine in the trunk
And blue lights on our tail
Like if we get caught they're gonna haul us off to jail
Like we're helpin' out Uncle Jesse
Makin' a midnight run
Let's drive tonight like this whole county's dry
And there's moonshine in the trunk

Well they say that's how the Duke boys
And NASCAR started out
They were haulin' bootleg liquor
And look where they are now
Chances are I gotta Mason jar Rollin' ‘round in the back
That white lightnin's long gone
But it shouldn't be hard to act

Like there's moonshine in the trunk
And blue lights on our tail
Like if we get caught they're gonna haul us off to jail
Like we're helpin' out Uncle Jesse
Makin' a midnight run
Let's drive tonight like this whole county's dry
And there's moonshine in the trunk

Whoa, oh, oh
Let's pretend we're runnin' from the law
Whoa, oh, oh
Like we're the Bonnie and Clyde of alcohol

Like there's moonshine in the trunk
And blue lights on our tail
Like if we get caught they're gonna haul us off to jail
Like we're helpin' out Uncle Jesse
Makin' a midnight run
Let's drive tonight like this whole county's dry
And there's moonshine in the trunk

"More Than Just This Song"
(feat. Steve Wariner)

"More Than Just This Song"
(feat. Steve Wariner)



Like a boat on a river this bus is floating down this old highway
Looking out the window I think about how I got here today
Anyone who's anywhere had some help getting there its true
And one of the reasons why I get to do the things I do

I met this angel
With callused hands
Who led this boy to his band
Under his wing I learned to fly
On these 6 strings through this life
You can hear them in my playing
Although he's gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song.

Like a leaf that had fallen I was drifting down the stream
Mr. Guitar came into my life and let me live this dream
His old gretch still speaking still speaking its teaching all of us a ton
He was my friend and my hero all wrapped up in one

I met this angel
With callused hands
Who lead this naive boy into his band
Under his wing I learned to fly
On his 6 strings into the night
I can still hear him playing although he's gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song.

Every face we see from we every stage we roll
With every note we play even though there gone
They live on
They live on

"Mr. Policeman"

"Mr. Policeman"



Well hey, hey Mr. Policeman
Bet I can drive faster'n you can
C'mon hoss lets have some fun
Go on shoot me with a radar gun
You look bored and I sure am
Catch me if you can
Hey hey Mr. policeman
I got a 75 firebird trans am
With a 455 up under the hood
Me and my brother got it running good
Wake up behind them ol' RayBans
Catch me if you can
Go on turn on your blue lights (so pretty!)
You know you want to I just flew by
I can see you peelin' out
Hows my dust taste in your mouth?
C'mon smokey its time to race
Lets have us a high speed chase
Well hey hey Mr. policeman
Chopper in the air and a couple of swat vans
That's not fair they're blocking the road
Now where am I supposed to go?
Time to use my backup plan

Catch me if you can
Hey hey Mr. policeman
Bet I can run faster'n you can
With your big pot belly
And your cowboy boots,
100 bucks says you won't shoot
I know these woods like the back of my hand
Come on catch me if you can
Go on turn on your spotlight (so shiny!!)
I got running shoes and I'm younger than you
And I got all night
Theres no way you're keeping up with me
Just go on back to the Krispy Kreme
If you wanna quit I understand
Catch me if you can
Hey hey Mr. policeman
I said hey hey Mr. policeman

I'm in the jail house now
I'm in the jail house now
They told me once or twice
Son, please respect my authority
I'm in the jail house now

"Mud On The Tires"

"Mud On The Tires"


I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake

There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only one way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars than you can count on a night this clear

I tell you what we need to do is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

[Repeat Chorus]

And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires
