"I'm Not Ready Yet"

"I'm Not Ready Yet"


I've always said someday
I was gonna leave you.
Some April when all the land is wet.
Some spring, summer, fall or maybe winter.
I'll leave someday but I'm not ready yet.

I know I should of left the day
I knew your love was dyeing.
But I passed up every date
That I ever set.
But I know I'll leave
When my heart tells me it's ready.
But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet.

Yah know I must have left you
a hundred times but you don't know that.
'Cause I was afraid you'd laugh
when you found out just how far I'd get.
But you didn't, and you don't.
I know you ain't gonna ever.
And someday I'll go, but I'm not ready yet.

I know I should of left the day
I knew your love was dyeing.
But I passed up every date
That I ever set.
But I know I'll leave
When my heart tells me Lord willing
But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet.
But I'm still around, 'Cause I'm not ready yet.

"I'm Ragged But I'm Right"

"I'm Ragged But I'm Right"


Well I've come here to tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right
I'm a tramp and a gambler I stay out late at night
But a porterhouse steak steak three times a day for my board
That's more than any loafer in this old town can afford
Well I got big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
A little baby boy playin' rounds at my feet
I'm a rambler and a gambler and I've lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

Well then I got married I knew I'd settle down
And I built a little love nest right here in my hometown
Now I've got a family one that I'm proud of
I know that I'll be happy cause they're the ones I love
Well I got big electric fan...
I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

I'm a rambler and a gambler I've lead a dirty life
Well I tell you folks I'm ragged but I'm right

"I'm The One She Missed Him With Today"

"I'm The One She Missed Him With Today"


Tonight when they lay down without a migrain
And he'll massage her neck when you were away
She'll tell him how she missed him all day long
But I'm the one she'll miss him with today.

She'll call him up at work to make sure he's still there
So we won't have to worry and we don't have to care
Looks like he's losing her, it's on it's way
'Cause I'm the one she'll miss him with today.

When they wake up at dawn she's always skeepin'
She let's him know his passion passed away
She tells him how she'll miss him when he's leaving
Oh, but I'm the one she'll miss him with today.

She'll call him up at work to make sure he's still there
So we won't have to worry and we don't have to care
Looks like he's losing her, it's on it's way
'Cause I'm the one she'll miss him with today.

Looks like he's losing her, it's on it's way
'Cause I'm the one she'll miss him with today

"I'm Wasting Good Paper"

"I'm Wasting Good Paper"


I know I shouldn't do this but I will anyway
I'll write you this letter and I'll mail it today
I've told me you won't read it but I can't tell my mind
That I'm wasting good paper, a stamp and my time.

You make take what I'm writing as some sort of joke
For I said all this before in the last one I wrote
I know it won't be opened for you won't read one line
I'm just wasting good paper, a stamp and my time.

I sent you so many I can't count them all
And just like the others in the trash it will fall
I know you won't be wearing this name I now sign
I'm just wasting good paper, a stamp and my time.

(I sent you so many I can't count them all)
(And just like the others in the trash it will fall)
I know you won't be wearing this name I now sign
I'm just wasting good paper, a stamp and my time...

"I'm With The Wrong One"

"I'm With The Wrong One"


I'm with the wrong one, yes, I know it
I'm with the wrong one and I can show it
Because I love you but I know you don't seem to care how much I cry
If you just knew how much I love you now
Just stop your lyin', stop me from cryin'
But you don't wanna show your love for me is gone
I'm with the wrong one.

I'm with the wrong one but you don't care
You don't know the pain I bear
I'm just another what can I do
I'm someone new to you it's true
I love you dearly and so sincerely
But you don't wanna be the only one for me
Although it hurts me so I have to let you go
I'm with the wrong one.

I'm with the wrong one but you don't care
You don't know the pain I bear
I'm just another what can I do
I'm someone new to you it's true
I love you dearly and so sincerely
But you don't wanna be the only one for me
Although it hurts me so I have to let you go
I'm with the wrong one.

I'm with the wrong one

"I've Aged Twenty Years In Five"

"I've Aged Twenty Years In Five"


As I look in the mirror this morning
On some dirty old restroom wall
It took a while to realize it's really me there inside
'Cause I've aged twenty years in five.

I recall when I looked much younger
And it wasn't so long ago
But one night of drinking to four nights of wine
And you'll age twenty years in five.

I've aged twenty years in five
I've seen the dark side of life
From a mansion on a hill
To straight whiskey from a still
And you'll age twenty years in five.

Before the bottle I played my music
On the road with a five piece band
And with the pressures of the game
I drank up fortune and fame
And I aged twenty year in five.

Oh, but I'll change this way I've been living
Or I'll be gone before my time
I'll climb back to the top
And with my friends I won't stop
Till I erase twenty years in five.
Yes, I'll erase twenty years in five...

"I've Been Known To Cry"

"I've Been Known To Cry"


Oh, I've been known to cry for kisses that you gave me
And those arms that used to hold me tight
Though I tell my heart that I don't miss you
I've been known to cry for you at night.

I might say that I don't miss you
I was glad you said goodbye
Make believe I might be lonely
But my heart knows that I've been known to cry.

Oh, I've been known to cry for kisses that you gave me
And those arms that used to hold me tight
Though I tell my heart that I don't miss you
I've been known to cry for you at night.

I might say you left
No wonder that I found somebody new
Make believe that I don't want you
That I've been known to cry because I still love you.

Oh, I've been known to cry for kisses that you gave me
And those arms that used to hold me tight
Though I tell my heart that I don't miss you
I've been known to cry for you at night...

"I've Been There"

"I've Been There"


By the time I noticed her she was smilin' at me
From where I stood the mutual attraction was easy to see
Ten beers and twenty passes later the bar tender said it was time to go
I was outta money, she stood and said honey I'm a-going home on my own.

Oh, I've been there, listen buddy, I've been there
I been there when I thought I was livin' a dream and woke up in a real night mare
Yessum, I've been there, let me tell you I've been there
Anywhere a woman can leave you, man, I've been there.

My baby said honey you need a break
Why don't you take a little fishin' trip
I loaded my my old truck and as I drove away
She waved and kinda blew me a little kiss
A couple days later when I got home
Was nothing left but a note on the door
It said I had to leave you
I need a man who'll stay home a little more.

Let me tell you, I've been there, hey buddy, I've been there
I've been there when I thought I was livin' a dream and woke up in a real night mare
Oh, I've been there, I'm here to tell you, I've been there
'Bout anywhere a woman can leave you, man, I've been there.

'Bout anywhere a woman can leave you, son, I've been there

Oh, I've been there.
I've been there too, son, let me tell ya, I know what it's all about.

"I've Got A New Heartache"

"I've Got A New Heartache"


You're back in town again spreadin' talk around
That I'm still in love with you though you let me down
I hate to admit it but I guess the talk is true
Or else you couldn't make my heart ache the way you do.

I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue.

I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
That left me for somebody new
I've got a new heartache about an old sweetheart
And that's why I'm feeling so blue...
