She's Helping Me Get Over You

She's Helping Me Get Over You

I've told her all about you when I met her
So she understands what I'm going through
She knows when I forget you I can love her
And that's why she's helping me get over you
Lord knows she never makes my heart stop beating
Or tears me all to pieces like you do
But she does everything she can to make me happy
And that's how she's helping me get over you
[ steel ]
She knows that we still spend sometime together
And she's waiting just the way I asked her to
Everyday she ceases your mem'ry growing weaker
And right now she's helping me get over you
Lord knows she never makes...
And right now she's helping me get over you

She's Still Got A Hold On You

She's Still Got A Hold On You

So you're out there having fun and drinking with the guys
Trying to hide the hurt you feel inside
Someone plays the certain song and in spite of all you do she's still got a hold on you
She's still got a hold on you and many times her mem'ry still comes through
Now you say that you're set free but you'll know who's fooling who
Cause she's still got a hold on you
[ piano ]
Now you say that you don't care as you have another round
You say you couldn't careless what happens to her now
Then you see a certain heirdo and it scares you through and through
Cause she's still got a hold on you
She's still got a hold on you if you can't see it friend oh then you're a fool
Now if you happen to be me then you'll know who's fooling who
Cause she's still got a hold on you cause she's still got a hold on you

She's That Kind

She's That Kind

She can take the morning rain falling on my window pane
And turn it into sunshine in my mind
And she can take the darkest night and brighten it with a love sweet light
And I'm satisfied just knowing she's that kind
And I can feel so down and out but she knows what it's all about
And she can help me leave it all behind
There's someting in the way she smiles that seems to brighten all my trials
It's good to know my woman is that kind
She's that kind that I'm thankful to the Lord above
For sending me that kind of woman for me to love
If I could live another life and I could choose another wife
I wouldn't change a thing cause she's that kind
[ guitar ]
She's that kind that I'm thankful...
No I wouldn't change a thing cause she's that kind

She's Too Good To Be True

She's Too Good To Be True

Sometimes late at night I wake up dreaming
I reach out and feel for her, she's too good to be true
Then I touch the sleeping softness of my Angel
And half asleep she turns to whisper, I love you

'Cause she's just too good to be true but she is
And in my arms, she reassures me with a kiss
She's everything I ever looked for in a woman
She's just too good to be true, but she is

Each day I go to work, it's like forever
'Til that evening son will bring me home again
But then she's waiting at the door with her sweet loving
And tonight, she'll be so good to me again

Oh, she's just too good to be true but she is
And in my arms, she reassures me with a kiss
She's everything I ever looked for in a woman
She's just too good to be true, but she is
She's just too good to be true, but she is

Shelter Of Your Eyes

Shelter Of Your Eyes

In the shelter of your eyes I have finally learned my song
It took so long to realize I just can't make it all alone
Words're only what they say but this feeling isn't wrong
Now I'm so glad I found the way it's good to be where I belong
And I'm gonna stay right here cause I'm in rhythm with your mind
Tune out the world and rest my head neath the shelter of your eyes
[ dobro ]
Words're only what they say...

Shoulder To Cry On

Shoulder To Cry On

I came here because I knew I'd be welcome
And because somehow you always understand
You seem to have a way with lonely people
And you always were my greatest helping hand

Now once again, I'm here to take advantage
Though I don't deserve the arms I left alone
I need to know there's someone who still loves me
And I need a shoulder to cry on

I over looked the love you tried so hard to give

The love I never seem to understand
I always stay just long enough to hurt you
And what little love I gave was second hand

Now once again I'm here to take advantage
'Cause once again the one I love is gone
I need to know there's someone who still loves me
And I need a shoulder to cry on

Yes I need to know there's someone who still loves me
And I need a shoulder to cry on

Shutters And Boards

Shutters And Boards

Shutters and boards, cover the windows of the house
Where we used to live
All I have left, is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said, she'd never forgive

The house that we built, was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
Now, I live in a world without sunshine
Ooh, I wish you were here

Shutters and boards, cover the windows of the house
Where we used to live
All I have left, is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said, she'd never forgive

Last night I dreamed that you came to our house
To take an old book from the shelf
If you'll open the shutters, I'll tear down the boards
'Cause I drove every nail by myself

That's why I say
Shutters and boards, cover the windows of the house
Where we used to live
All I have left, is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said, she'd never forgive

One more time
Shutters and boards, cover the windows of the house
Where we used to live
All I have left, is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said, she'd never forgive

Singin' A Song About Love

Singin' A Song About Love

Yes I keep singin' a song about love hummin' a tune about happiness
Winkin' my eye at the sun up above and just singin' a song about love

I don't have no acts to drive no bridges to be burned
There's better ways to go through life and the best way I have learned
Whenever troubles cross my mind I think about your love
And then a smile upon my face just shows what I'm thinking of

And I start singin' a song..
[ guitar ]
When other people talk to me they just don't understand
Just what it is that's happen now that made me a happy man
It's not a fortune I have found it's something you can't see
It isn't gold it's just a love between my woman and me
So I keep singin' a song...
So I keep singin' a song...

Six Days On The Road

Six Days On The Road

Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Sea board
I got my diesel wound up and she's a runnin' like a never before
There's a speed zone ahead alright well I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
I got me ten forward gears and my George overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road I said I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like that sort of a guy
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road I said I'm a gonna make it home tonight
[ guitar - steel ]
Well the ICC is a checkin' on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
Cause there's nothin' bothers me tonight I can dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road I said I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Well my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from my stack and that smoke's blowin' black as coal
Oh well my hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm a happy you're right
Six days on the road I said I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road I said I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road I said I'm a gonna make it home tonight

Snakes Crawl At Night

Snakes Crawl At Night

Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun goes down then the snakes will play

I watched that car pull right up into my driveway
Saw a shadow slip away from my house
So I hurried straight and looked in her room
And I found out that it was my loving spouse

Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun goes down then the snakes will play

So I waited in the shadows until morning
And the gun I held was trembling in my hand
No, I did not plan to give them any warning
For the devil on my shoulder had command

Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun goes down then the snakes will play

Oh, the trial in a little while was over
And they sentenced me to die right away
But before I leave this courtroom, please, Your Honor
There is something more that I would like to say

Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun goes down then the snakes will play

Oh, the snakes crawl at night, that's what they say
When the sun goes down
