"In Another World"

"In Another World"

In another time and place
There awaits a sweet embrace
Where stains on hearts just fade away
Replaced with hopes lost from today
Bound by love that never strays
In another world
We’ll be okay

That doubt and sadness in your eyes
Will disappear with tears once cried
Then broken dreams that went so wrong
In empty space where life moved on
With every hurt that ached so long
In another world
They’ll all be gone

Your tortured heart’s
Soft anguished pleas
Rescued by love
Shall be set free
With every hurt that ached so long
In another world
They’ll all be gone

Then every hurt that ached so long
In another world
They’ll all be gone

Your tortured heart’s
Soft anguished pleas
Rescued by love
Shall be set free
With every hurt that ached so long
In another world
They’ll all be gone

"Intentional Heartache"

"Intentional Heartache"

She drove South I-95 straight through Carolina
She didn't use no damn map to find her way
She pulled off on the state route just north of Charlotte
And took mostly country roads the rest of the day

She said I'll give him an intentional heartache
That'll hurt a lot worse than the one he left in me
Would you all step back so a girl might to get started
And he won't have to look twice to see

She drove up across the yard and though his mama's garden
Didn't touch the brakes, she slammed right into his Chevrolet
Tossed out his clothes, boots, bud cap, and signed Dale Jr. poster
Then shot the whole mess neon green, a can of DuPont spray

She said I'll give him an intentional heartache
That'll hurt a lot worse than the one he left in me
Would you all step back so a girl might to get started
And he won't have to look twice to see

She said I'll give you an intentional heartache
That'll hurt a lot worse than the one that you left in me
And tell your little tramp to step back so your ex-wife can get started
And you won't have to look twice to see

Just watch this
Then she sprayed that Bud cap bright green
Said honey put that can of spray paint down
Just watch this
Then she pulled them Nakona boots out, sprayed them neon too
Put the can down honey
She give it hell with that can of spray paint
He kept yelling at her
Put the can down
And she sprayed to him
Then she did a little dance on top of that Dale Jr. poster
Just kind of a hoochie coochie
Alright honey
He said I saw you comin', now put it down
Just watch this, she run over to the passenger side of that Monte Carlo
And she sprayed tramp
On the hood on the back of the house
She tried to call her sister
What was that girl's name
Said you gotta come get this girl
Nancy, I think
Said Look at here
Look at here
She run that girl back up on the porch

"It Is Well With My Soul"

"It Is Well With My Soul"

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well - it is well, with my soul.

[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul.

My sin O the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well, with my soul.

[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul.

[Chorus:]
It is well - it is well, with my soul - with my soul
It is well - it is well, with my soul...

"It Only Hurts When I Cry"

"It Only Hurts When I Cry"

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

You couldn't tell it by the smile
That my recovery took awhile
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count my teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know when you look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I'm probably lucky I'm alive

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry

"It Won't Hurt"

"It Won't Hurt"

[Chorus:]
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me

Today I had another bout with sorrow
You know this time I almost won
If this bottle would just hold out 'til tomorrow
I know that I'd have sorrow on the run

[Chorus:]
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me

Your memory comes back up with each sunrise
I reach out for the bottle and find it's gone
Yeah, Lord, somewhere every night the whiskey leaves me
To face this cold, cold world on my own

[Chorus:]
It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool
And it won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt 'cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me

Even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me...

"It's Never Alright"

"It's Never Alright"

It’s never alright. It comes and it goes.
Oh it’s always around, even when it don’t show.
They say it gets better. well I guess that it might.
But even when it’s better, it’s never alright.
It’s never OK. Lonely moves here and there.
Sometimes it stays in one place and just stares.
They say that the darkest is just before light.
Each day may get brighter, but it’s never alright.

Try real hard to remember as good as it gets.
But the harder and harder I try, all I can do is forget.
They say it gets better
Oh I guess it might.
But even when it’s better, it’s never alright.
It’s never been mine to win or to lose.
No it’s always been yours, to pick or to choose.
They say love is better when set free not held tight.
But even when it’s better, it’s never alright.
Even if it gets better, it won’t be alright.

"Johnson's Love"

"Johnson's Love"

She had left him lost and broken
Like no other had before
And now his heart was just a token
Of the pain it had endured
And his memories were clouded
With all the hurtful things she'd said
Yes, for all intent and purpose
He might just as well been dead.

[Chorus:]
And some people claim they still hear him call her name
Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.

He seemed far away and distant
With that cold and silent stare
Never moving, never speaking
And just barely breathing air.

No one really knew her reason
And who can judge her right or wrong
The only true and solemn fact is,
The man we'd known was all but gone.

[Chorus:]
And some people claim they still hear him call he name
Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.

Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him
Late that night on Shelby Road
About a mile from there they found him
It seems he'd died out in the snow.

I hear'd the preacher at the service
Say from love he's finally free
But I say love, it knows no season
It haunts the soul eternally.

[Chorus:]
And some people claim they still hear him call he name
Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
Yeah, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.

Yes, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on...

"Just Passin' Time"

"Just Passin' Time"

Just passin' time with everyone I meet.
I'm just passin' time as I wander through the streets.
Just passin' time wrestlin' with thoughts that fight my sleep,
She left behind just passin' time.

I'm just passin' time inside these empty rooms.
I'm just passin' time where small lost hopes stil loom.
Just passin' time appears unlikely to heal any wounds.
Love is kind I'm just passin' time.

An' time hangs around more every day.
Why keep searching,
For a place that old thoughts might stay,
And not just end up right back in my heart's way?

Time don't ever answer nothin' new.
Least not here lately,
In any way that I could use,
For figurin' out what's left to lose.

I'm just passin' time with everyone I meet.
I'm just passin' time as I wander through the streets.
I'm just passin' time wrestlin' with thoughts that fight my sleep,
She left behind I'm just passin' time.

"King Of Fools"

"King Of Fools"

As you look into my eyes
And, tell those empty lies
I'll pretend they're true
'Cause that's what I do

As you sit and hold my hand
And, smile at other men
I'll pretend I'm blind
'Cause I'm just that kind

I'm a King of fools
An' I'll always reign
Over loneliness and pain

The king of fools
Wears his crown
Where the misery can be found

I'm a King of fools
And I'll always reign
Over loneliness and pain

The King of fools
Wears his crown
Where the misery can be found

As you walk away with him
And I lose in love again
I'll pretend to see
That you're still with me

But I'll be there all alone
Like a King upon a throne
'Cause I'm the King of fools
Yes I'm the King of fools

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

"Last Heart In Line"

"Last Heart In Line"

Take her away but don't let me see,
Who the last heart in line turns out to be.
I'll never know there won't be any sign,
Of how close it came for the last heart in line.

Though for a while I'll still be,
Waiting around for my chance, patiently.
Fact that she's gone is bound to finally dawn,
On me eventually.

Though for a while I'll still be,
Just waiting around for my chance, patiently.
The fact that she's gone is bound to finally dawn,
On me eventually.

I guess for her, it'll all work out fine,
But who's gonna tell the last heart in line?
