"Drop In The Bucket"

"Drop In The Bucket"


It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

It's a wildcard drawn 'til you draw to a pair
Then you draw another pair and you're getting somewhere
Just a penny on the street until you stop and pick it up
When you stop and pick it up, it can change your luck

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

Oh, it's just another day until it turns into night
Then the lights get bright and you feel alright
And it's just another pair of old cowboy boots
Until you're on that floor and you start to move
It's just another song on that old guitar
Until the old guitar makes you a star

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

A shot of brown liquor and a smoky bar
Can make you a little bit better than you are
A small dance floor and a long slow dance
Can turn into a real romance
Take a chance
It's just an innocent kiss 'til it feels like this
When it feels like this then you just can't miss
She ain't nothing but a dream 'til you find that girl
When you find that girl she can change your world

Oh, it's just another house when you're sitting alone
'Til your honey comes home then it's on, it's on
Just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

Take a long hot day and some bright sunshine
To make a little thing called summertime
Take a walk out on the beach and a tender touch
Make a little thing called love
Talking sweet love

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

Oh, it's just another day until it turns into night
Then the lights get bright and you feel alright
Yeah, just another pair of old cowboy boots
Until you're on that floor and you start to move
Yeah, just another song on that old guitar
Until the old guitar makes you a star

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

"Drunk On Love"

"Drunk On Love"


Baby take my car keys, put em in your pocket
Lord knows I got no business with them
I been nursin half a beer for half and hour but the whole rooms spinnin

My brain is actin' fuzzy but the vertigo I'm feelin
Got nothing to do with inebriation
That kiss you just handed me, girl, is a staggerin revelation

Baby I never drank that much
To get this high I must be drunk on love
Baby I'm flyin on a stone cold rush
To get this high I must be drunk on love

I been down on my knees before the porcelain throne
Suffered the wrath of the god of Tequila
After dancing on a bar doin' my very best cowboy ballerina - you oughta see it

Baby I never drank that much
To get this high I must be drunk on love
Baby I'm flyin on a stone cold rush
To get this high I must be drunk on love

I built a pyramid of beer cans on a bar top in Austin
Laid to rest in them like some ancient Egyption
I can see well enough to know you're my favorite kind of intervention

Baby I never drank that much
To get this high I must be drunk on love
Baby I'm flyin on a stone cold rush
To get this high I must be drunk on love

"Every River"

"Every River"


Once upon a time
Somewhere in your past
Someone said forever
But that promise didn't last

Now you don't believe
Love is ever true
Steel yourself against the day
When I stopped loving you

When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry

For every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound

I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby
Should you ever fall

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

And every river run dry

 

[fox69]

"Fall"

"Fall"


I breeze through the day
And nothin' much seems to get in my way
I don't have a care at all
You walk in the room
It's always the same
You call out my name
I turn
You smile
I fall

I'm at home at night
Just me and the moon
But doin' all right
When out of the blue you call
I hang up the phone
I lay down in bed
Your still in my head
I dream
You smile
I fall

Oh what could this feeling be
Could it really be love
That's happening to me
Oh yeah yeah

The closer you get
The harder it is to keep it together
I don't have a chance at all
It's out of my hands
Oh but what can I do
I'm crazy for you
We touch
You Smile
I fall

Oh Yeah
We touch
You smile
I fall

"Feels Good Don't It"

"Feels Good Don't It"


What's it like girl
To have somebody love you
With a love
Too good to be true
You oughta know
Feels good don't it

How bout those lonely nights
You used to pray
Something like this
Would come your way
Thank your lucky stars
Lucky's what we are
Feels good don't it

Some people go through life
Never knowing
What love is
Or where it's going
Me and you girl we just walked up on it
Feels good don't it

You and me girl
We're one of life's little wonders
We go together
Like lightning and thunder
Sky-high
On fire
Feels good, don't it

"Few Good Rides Away"

"Few Good Rides Away"


I was sittin' in a truckstop
Watchin' tumbleweeds roll by
Tryin' to read the menu
When the waitress caught my eye
She pulled a pencil from her hair
And leaned across the bar
I did my best not to stare
But man, she made it hard

I asked that trucker next to me
Hey, what looks good today
He said I know what's on your mind
And boy, there ain't no way
Get yourself some apple pie
And something cool to drink
I know you want the special
And I like the way you think

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

Hard times hit West Texas
Damn near everything's for sale
But there's somethings we hold sacred
When everything else fails
When we're down to nothing
Out here, everybody shares
Most of us have lost our dreams
So we bought into theirs

I've seen her walk a hundred miles
Up and down this floor
I've never seen her fail to smile
When he limps through that door
So when you're done, you leave a tip
And make it nice and fat
And feel lucky you can own a piece
Of something like that

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

"Folsom Prison Blues"
(originally by Johnny Cash)

"Folsom Prison Blues"
(originally by Johnny Cash)



Well, I hear that train a-comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
Well, I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when

And I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
Well, that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone

When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
She said, always be a good boy
Don't never play with guns

But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry

Well, I bet there's rich folks eatin'
From a fancy dining car
Well, they're probably drinking coffee
And smoking big cigars

Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
Now, those people keep a-movin'
That's what tortures me

If they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little
Farther down the line

Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to stay
Lord, I here that whistle blowin'
Blow my blues away, yeah

It's been thirty years now, and I know I'll never leave this godforsaken place alive.
Honest to God, when I hear her words ringin' through my head as loud as that old train whistle,
crying out to me night after endless night, sending a cold steel shiver through my lost soul,
I close my eyes and pray that that iron horse is bound for the promised land and I'll get to ride it home to glory someday.

"Go West"

"Go West"


That burning sunset in the sky
Is calling out to us tonight
I won't work for my old man
Anymore that you fit into your mammas plan
There's a place for people like you and me
True love's still got room to breathe

And we can drive all night
Into the morning light
Let's go west
It's our ticket out of here
Yeah we can disappear
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Let's go west

It's hard to leave this place behind
Got memories turning in my mind
Little white house with a picket fence
That protected small town innocence
But it seems like an even trade to me
That security for our destiny

Yeah we can drive all night
Till the morning light
Let's go west
A place that we can go
Where the tall dreams grow
Let's go west
And we'll find a place to call our own
There's somewhere out there we belong
Let's go west

And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of

[Repeat 2nd Chorus]

Yeah let's go west
Oh let's go west
Oh let's go west
Yeah let's go west

"God Must Be Busy"

"God Must Be Busy"


That anchorman says they're fighting again
Somewhere in the Middle East
The world prays for peace
There's a single mom, just got laid off
Went and lost her job to foreign hands
In some far away land
Last night in Oklahoma
Some twister took thirteen
And they're praying they find the missing three
God must be busy

That highway sign went from slow ahead
To traffic's dead, thought it couldn't get worse
Then that Amber alert
They say she's four, Colorado plates
Heading out of state in a Chevy van
It's hard to understand
You can see it in the faces
Of all those highway strangers
They're praying that God keeps girl from danger
God must be busy

And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man
I know He's heard my prayers
'Cause He hears everything
He just ain't answered back or He'd bring you back to me
God must be busy

The evening news ain't much changed
Pretty much the same since I left home
Yeah, that war's still on
They found that little girl
She was soaking wet, half scared to death
On the side of some road
Them prayers work ya know

And the blood and the cripes are at it
And there's a killer drought down south
And old folks can't afford the drugs they can't live without
God must be busy

And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man
I know He's heard my prayers
'Cause He hears everything
He just ain't answered back or He'd bring you back to me
God must be busy

That anchorman says the fighting's worse
Cities burn in the Middle East
The world prays for peace

"Goin' Under Gettin' Over You"

"Goin' Under Gettin' Over You"


I woke up in the front yard
In the back seat of a Buick
With the lights and the radio on
I stumbled 'cross the grass
To the front porch through the door
Of a house that once was our home
If love once lived here you can't tell it
If I could just let go I'd sell it
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

Made my way down the hall
Through the boxes to the bed
Where I used to hold you all night long
Your perfume on the pillow
Where you once laid your head
Stays there to remind me you're gone
It's gonna tear me apart if I let it
I should just move on and forget it
But, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

The days are long and the nights are tough
All alone it's just too much
I'm not handlin' well what I'm goin' through
The whiskey ain't strong enough
My hearts down to givin' up
I'm down to my last cigarette too
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you
