"Drinkin' Dark Whiskey"

"Drinkin' Dark Whiskey"


Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies,
One leads to another,
On a Saturday night,
Don't ya cross your heart,
Unless you hope to die,
Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies

Well the first drop burns
But the second one goes down smooth,
Then that old black label gets a hold of you,
It loosens your tongue but it never tells the truth

Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies,
One leads to another,
On a Saturday night,
Don't ya cross your heart,
Unless you hope to die,
Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies

When the bottle starts talkin'
Be careful what he might say,
He talks in the dark like he never would in the day,
Then he gets in trouble just as soon as he gets away,

Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies,
One leads to another,
On a Saturday night,
Don't ya cross your heart,
Unless you hope to die,
Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies

Well a little white lie don't mean anyone no good,
When it's making the rounds all over the neighborhood,
The next thing you know your all misunderstood,

Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies,
One leads to another,
On a Saturday night,
Don't ya cross your heart,
Unless you hope to die,
Drinkin' dark whiskey,
Tellin' white lies

"Drop"

"Drop"


Drop, raindrop fallin' from the sky like magic
Can ya feel it in the air
Drop, you oughta drop on by 'cause it's warm inside
And there's a storm out there

I'll drop, another log under the fire
Get the flame a little higher
"Til it feels just right
And I'll drop, a blanket on the floor
There's some wine I'm gonna pour
And pull the shades down tight

[Chorus:]
Ain't nowhere you need to be
Then wrapped up here with me
I'll turn the lights down, way down low
You let that dress drop nice and slow
Girl, I know it's true
You know just what to do
To make me drop everything for you

Drop, your hair down your shoulders
Get a little closer 'cause it's that kinda day
I'll drop, drop the needle on the record
The one that makes ya wanna love the night away

[Chorus:]
Ain't nowhere you need to be
Then wrapped up here with me
I'll turn the lights down, way down low
You let that dress drop nice and slow
Girl, I know it's true
You know just what to do
To make me drop everything for you

[Chorus:]
Ain't nowhere you need to be
Then wrapped up here with me
I'll turn the lights down, way down low
You let that dress drop nice and slow
Girl, I know it's true
You know just what to do
To make me drop everything for you

Come on drop, drop everything for you
You make me wanna drop, drop, drop,drop, drop
Yeah, drop everything for you

Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
Drop everything for you

"Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)"

"Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)"


Oh so your standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round, down...

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
And walk out that door,
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna run out of pain
It's gonna run out of sting
It's gonna leave you alone
It's gonna set you free
Set you free

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna set you free,
It's gonna run out of pain,
And set you free

"Forever And A Day"

"Forever And A Day"


The say nothin' lasts forever
Honey, I've got good news
Whoever said that
Never got the blues from you

This cloud I'm under
Looks like it's gonna stay
The thunders gonna roll
Forever and a day

Nothing's gonna change
The way I think and feel
My heart is so heavy
And my fate is sealed

Lord, stop this misery
Every night I pray
'Em knowin' that it's there
Forever and a day

[Chorus]
Forever and a day
You're stuff here in my mind
Forever and a day
Is such a long, long time
I tell myself again
That I just can't swim
This river of regret
That I'm drownin' in

You've left with this feeling
That I just can't shake
My spirit's gonna sink
Forever and day

"Forgotten, But Not Gone"

"Forgotten, But Not Gone"


Her birthday came and went without a card, or a single I love you
On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two
She tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single word of praise
She feels just like a stranger, in a home where love has seen its better days

Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

Somehow he can't remember, when he's late to even take the time to call
And even on the nights he's there she gets the feeling he's not there at all
She's become a prisoner in that big old house where sweet love used to be
Well, it's not even over but Lord she feels just like a memory

Well he's taken her for granted
God only knows why she keeps hangin' on
'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten
Gone, but not forgotten
Than to be forgotten, but not gone

"From Where I'm Sitting"

"From Where I'm Sitting"


He asked her to dance three songs ago
Now she pulls him closer as the music slows
The lights are growin' dim it's just her and him and the band
Funny, I used to love this song
I though it was our song but I guess I was wrong
From where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand

[Chorus:]
From where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand
She's got her head on his shoulder and her heart in his hands
Thing's are pretty clear when a fool understands
Lord, from where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand

I've never seen her dance like that before
Don't think I can take much of this anymore
He's no longer the stranger and it looks like I am
I always dreamed I'd see that look in her eyes
But I never dreamed it would be for some other guy
And from where I'm sittin' I can see where I stand

"Get Off On The Pain"

"Get Off On The Pain"


I don't know why I love women
That love to do me wrong
Don't know why my life sounds like
A heartbroke country song
I ain't really happy
Unless the sky starts driving rain
Maybe I just get off on the pain

My whole life I been picking fights
There ain't no way to win
Got a hundred scars I should have run away
Now tattooed on my skin
There's a side of me that just won't stop
Dancin' in the flame
Maybe I just get off on the pain

Cause I love the long shot
And the left out lost causes
Hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses
I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can
God knows there's no one else to blame
Sometimes I think I get off on the pain

Wake up every morning, a thousand miles from home
Praying for forgiveness
For this aching in my bones
It would be so easy
To find a better way
Oh but I know I'll never change

Cause I love the long shot
And the left out lost causes
Hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses
I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can
God knows there's no one else to blame
Sometimes I think I get off on the pain

Cause I love the long shot
And the left out lost causes
Hanging out in the back of the pack with the dark horses
I ride the wrong road just as fast as I can
God knows there's no one else to blame
I know I'm the only one to blame
Sometimes I think I get off on the pain
Get off on the pain

"Good As New"

"Good As New"


I had a broken watch on a broken chain
I had a roof that leaked every time it rained
I had an old guitar that wouldn't stay in tune
But now it sounds just fine since I've met you
I'm good as new

I had some crazy thoughts runnin' through my brain
Wonderin' if my life was goin' down the drain
I had a broken heart, broken right in two
But now it's in one piece since I've met you
I'm good as new

You Made my life like a lullaby
You put the spark back into my eyes
You put the shine in the shining sea
And you hung the moon where it should be

Now my old yard is looking nice and green
And my old car, well, it's a clean machine
Even my old dog, she can feel it too
It's not the same old thing since I've met you
I'm good as new

Since I've met you
Well, I'm good as new
Since I've met you
I'm good as new

"Greenfields"

"Greenfields"


Greenfields backed by blue skies
'Bout as blue as your two true blue eyes
And I wonder do you feel the way I feel
When you see greenfields

Sometimes, oh, I wish you were still mine
And I'd go back in time and I'll always find
You in greenfields and you're layin' by my side
And love was real and I could taste it
On these lips of mine in

Greenfields backed by blue skies
'Bout as blue as your two true blue eyes
And I wonder do you feel the way I feel
When you see greenfields

When I see cotton candy clouds up in heaven
I close my eyes and then we drift away
And I'm loving you and holding on forever
There in your arms where I used to lay in

Greenfields backed by blue skies
'Bout as blue as your two true blue eyes
And I wonder do you feel the way I feel
In greenfields

"Guys Like Me"

"Guys Like Me"


Well there's no more smokey bars in California,
There ain't no wildlife left in Tennessee,
But I keep on living every song I'm singing,
And their trying to put an end to guys like me,
All that's left in Bakersfield is a jukebox,
And it's haunted by old songs and memories,
It's getting hard to find a place to play my guitar,
And their trying to put an end to guys like me,

Well, I'd like to find a place where love surrounds me,
Some town where they don't mind me hanging around,
A place where life don't move to fast,
And what you are is not a thing of the past,
Where you can land your dreams on solid ground,
Well, I'm sitting on a barstool down on Broadway,
Waiting for my turn to sing my dreams,
I'm just a California boy with my old guitar,
And their trying to put and end to guys like me,

Well, I'd like to find a place where love surrounds me,
Some town where they don't mind me hanging around,
A place where life don't move to fast,
And what you are is not a thing of the past,
Where you can land your dreams on solid ground,
Well, I'm sitting on a barstool down on Broadway,
Waiting for my turn to sing my dreams,
I'm just a California boy with my old guitar,
And their trying to put and end to guys like me,

Yeah their trying to put an end to guys like me
