Free And Easy Down The Road I Go

Free And Easy Down The Road I Go

Pair of boots and a sack of clothes
Free and easy down the road I go
Hangin’ memories on the high line poles
Free and easy down the road I go
Free and easy down the road I go

Ragweed’s rockin’ on the radion
Free and easy down the road I go
So I keep rollin’ like an old banjo
Free and easy down the road I go

Got the sun shinin’ on me like a big spotlight
So I know everything is gonna be alright

Ain’t no tellin’ where the wind might blow
Free and easy down the road I go
Livin’ life like a Sunday stroll
Free and easy down the road I go
Free and easy down the road I go

If you only get to go around one time
I’m gonna sit back and try to enjoy the ride

I could make a million or wind up broke
Free and easy down the road I go
Can’t take it with you when you go so
Free and easy down the road I go
Someday I know it’s gonna take me home so
Free and easy down the road I go
Free and easy down the road I go

Prodigal Son’s Prayer

Prodigal Son’s Prayer

(featuring The Grascals)

Father meet me with your arms wide open
The world’s done broken your prodigal son
Down the road I traveled
Everything raveled only came undone

Father lead me down to the river
Wash me in the water ’til I’m whiter than snow
I know I’m not worthy
But tell me there’s mercy for the wanderin’ soul

I lost my way but now I’m on my knees
If it’s not too late won’t you tell me please
You gotta place for me
A little grace for me

Father meet me in the cool green valley
In all of your glory when my days are done
Name me as one of your chosen
Heaven’s unbroken prodigal son

Father meet me with your arms wide open
Lead me down to the river
Meet me in the cool green valley

Name me one of your chosen
Heaven’s unbroken prodigal son

Band Of Brothers

Band Of Brothers

I came up through the trenches where
we only played for tips and alcohol
You find out what you’re made of when there
ain’t no gold or platinum on the wall
And there’s a few more like me who
ain’t of fightin’ for the cause

Chorus:
Me and my band of brothers we got you covered
Out here on the honky tonk front lines
We’re loaded up with country music we ain’t afraid to use it
Even if we have to play all night
Well we ain’t no rookies it’s our third tour of duty but that’s all right
yeah that’s all right
Me and my band of brothers got you covered
On the honky tonk front lines

From the bars of San Diego to the
county dair way up in Bangor Maine
We keep the tour bus rollin’ just like it was
a big old Sherman tank
Like those who came before us
Owens, Haggard, Willie, Waylon, Jones and Hank
(and Johnny Cash)

(Repeat Chorus)

Well we ain’t no rookies it’s our third tour of duty
but that’s all right yeah that’s all right
Me and my band of brothers got you covered
On the honky tonk front lines

Me and my band of brothers got you covered
On the honky tonk front lines

The Heaven I’m Headed To

The Heaven I’m Headed To

I hear people talk of heaven
And how it’s only for the precious few
But in the book that I’ve been readin’
Sounds to me like there’s a lot of room
So I bet some folks are gonna be surprised
About who makes it to the other side ’cause in the

Chorus:
Heave I’m headed to
There’s a place for preachers, thieves and prostitutes
Saints and soldiers, beggers, kings and renegades
For any soul that ever found amazing grace
Ain’t no tellin’ who on earth He might include
In the heaven I’m headed to

It’s not my place to say
Just who does or doesn’t get to go
I’m only one among the many
Stumblin’ down that narrow road
There’s so many things in this life to love
And I believe there’s hope for each of us ’cause

(Repeat Chorus)

And the only thing I know
We all get the chance to go

Saints and soldiers, beggers, kings and renegades
Any soul that ever found amazing grace
Ain’t no tellin’ who on earth He might include
In the heave I’m headed to
The heaven I’m headed to
The heaven I’m headed to

Hope For Me Yet

Hope For Me Yet

Girl I’ve made a name everybody writes off
An open-road hard case a honky tonk lost cause
The fate I’m lookin’ at there ain’t know way around
A long and lonely path I’m destined to go down

Chorus:
Yeah there ain’t much of nothin’ in me
Left to be saved but baby I bet
If you could love somebody like me
There might be hope for me yet

Hope for me yet

Always livin’ fast and only thinkin’ short term
I never could get past a bridge I didn’t burn
I’m just a worn out pair of boots and a beat-up old guitar
A handful of country tunes and a hard-luck kind of heart

(Repeat Chorus)

Girl you just might be that outside chance for me
Yeah you’re the one good shot at redemption that I’ve got

Yeah there ain’t much of nothin’ in me

Left to be saved but baby I bet
If you could love somebody like me
There might be…

(Repeat Chorus)
Hope for me yet
There’s hope for me yet

Trying To Stop You Leaving

Trying To Stop You Leaving

Got a guitar
Got a guitar on my back
And I’m standin’ on this lonesome railroad track
Train’s a comin’
It’ll be here ‘fore too long
But I don’t think I can stop it with a song
Girl that’s the kind of way I’m feelin’
Tryin’ to stop your leavin’

Got a pebble
Got a pebble in my hand
And I toss it out into the middle of the Rio Grande
But the river keeps runnin’
Don’t even know that I’m around
I could throw a million more and not slow it down
Girl that’s kind of what I’m feelin’
Tryin’ to stop your leavin’

There’s nothin’ that I wouldn’t try
If I thought it would change your mind

But you don’t love me
No you don’t love me anymore
And I know as soon as you walk out that door
Train’s a comin’, river’s runnin’
Train’s a comin’, river’s runnin’
Pain’s a comin’, tears are runnin’
Yeah that’s kind of the way I’m feelin’
Knowin’ I couldn’t stop your leavin’

Soon As You Can

Soon As You Can

I left that sun sinkin’ west in California
I was supposed to say in LA a few more weeks
But the next time that old sun and I meet up
I’ll be a thousand miles east

Fifty dollars and a gas card in my pocket
That I’m thinkin’ might already be maxed out
That’s just one of those little crazy things
I really didn’t stop to think about

‘Cause when a man wants to be with a woman
There ain’t no way of gettin’ there too fast
When you know who you wanna spend
The rest of your life with you wanna start
The rest of your life
As soon as you can

That state trooper let me off with just a warnin’
And a promise that I’d try to slow her down
Man that promise was forgotten
By the time I’d gotten two miles out of town

‘Cause when a man wants to be with a woman
There ain’t no way of gettin’ there too fast
When you know who you wanna spend
The rest of your life with you wanna start
The rest of your life
As soon as you can

Don’t know how much a truck can handle
But the closer that I get I keep pushin’ it

‘Cause when a man wants to be with a woman
There ain’t no way of gettin’ there too fast
When you know who you wanna spend
The rest of your life with you wanna start
The rest of your life
You can’t wait to start the rest of your life
As soon as you can
As soon as you can
As soon as you can

That Don’t Make It Easy Loving Me

That Don’t Make It Easy Loving Me

We were playin’ out in Vegas when this lady pressed her way up to the stage
I forgot what I was singin’ when she met me with her meet-me-later gaze
When she threw it on my mic stand I figured they were probably double-D’s
That might make for a good story man
But that don’t make it easy lovin’ me

One time I met one of my heroes and he made me feel real good that I was there
‘Cause whatever he was smokin’ man it had me spinnin’ circles in my chair
I fell asleep on his bus in Texas but I woke up in Memphis, Tennessee
That might make for a good story man
But that don’t make it easy lovin’ me

Chorus:
But I got a woman
Let me tell you that she’s somethin’
You won’t catch me doin’ nothin’
To ever make her wanna leave
She knows how much I love her man
But that don’t make it easy lovin’ me

When you’re livin’ on a bus and you fill it up with a bunch of real good timin’ boys
Mix in applause and alcohol and honky tonks you know we’re bound to make some noise
But this rake-and-ramblin’ life helps me write the kind of songs I wanna sing
‘Cause it makes for real good stories man
But that don’t make it easy lovin’ me

(Repeat Chorus)

Yeah she knows how much I love her man
But that don’t make it easy lovin’ me

Long Trip Alone

Long Trip Alone

It’s a long trip alone over sand and stone
That lie along the road that we all must travel down

So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
‘Cause it’s a long trip alone

It’s a short piece of time but just enough to find
A little peace of mind under the sun somewhere

So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
You know we can’t afford to let one moment pass us by
‘Cause it’s a short piece of time

And I don’t know where I’d be without you here
‘Cause I’m not really me without you there

Yea Yeah
Hallelujah hallelujah oh

So maybe you could walk with me a while
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold

So maybe you could walk with me a while
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Maybe I could feel right beside you ’til I’m home
‘Cause it’s a long trip alone
