"Small Y'all"

"Small Y'all"

Honey, you think you've got an attitude
So you treat him just a little to loose
Well, buddy you think she's a little to cold
So you act like a two year old.

Don't it make you feel low, Joe
Don't it make you feel mean. Gene
Don't it make you feel ashamed of yourself
Don't it make you feel small y'all?

Boy you say something bad about her brother
And girl you say something mean about his mother
And tempers flare and insults fly
And you're both a-wantin' to die.

Don't you feel like a jerk, Kirk
Don't you feel like a ninny, Jim
Don't it make you ashamed of yourself
Don't it make you feel small y'all?

Lady you say you don't love him no more
And mister you kicked down the bedroom door
He called you names you never heard before
And now it's a full scale war.

Don't it make you feel a-crazy, baby
Don't it make you feel mentally ill, Phil
Don't it make you ashamed of yourself
Don't it make you feel small y'all?

Six o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten
The neighbors all know that you're at it again
And two little kids just a few feet away
Hear every word you say.

Don't it make you feel bad, dad
Don't it make you feel wrong, mom
Don't it make you ashamed of yourself
Don't it make you feel small y'all.

Don't it make you ashamed of yourself
Don't it make you feel small, y'all

"Softly And Tenderly"

"Softly And Tenderly"

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me,
See on the portal He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, Come home.
Ye who are weary, come home,
Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling, all sinners come home.

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

Come home, Come home.
Ye who are wary come home,
Ernestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling, all sinners come home.

Calling, all sinners come home...

"Soldier's Last Letter"

"Soldier's Last Letter"

When the postman delivered the letter
Well, it filled her old heart full of joy
But she didn't know 'til she read the inside
It was the last one from her darling boy

"Dear Mom," was the way that it started
"I miss you so much," it went on
"And, Mom, I didn't know that I loved you so
But I'll prove it when this war is won"

"I'm writing this down in a trench, Mom
So don't scold if it isn't so neat
For you know as you did, when I was a kid
And would come home with mud on my feet"

"Well, the captain just gave us our orders
And mom we will carry them through
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get
But for now I'll just say I love you"

Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
As she fought against tears in her eyes
For they came unashamed, there was no name
And she knew that her darlin' had died

That night as she knelt by her bedside
She prayed, "Lord above, hear my plea
Protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
And dear God keep America free"...

"Somebody Always Paints The Wall"

"Somebody Always Paints The Wall"

If my old truck was a horse I'd have to shoot it
Lord, the day my ship came in I was waiting for a train
Every time I get a grip I always lose it
I can't enjoy the sunshine for the rain.

Hon., you know I'm always saying I'm sorry
But you stand by me through it all
Seems like every time I make my mark
Somebody always paints the wall.

Every time I think I'm off and running
I'm barely up to a crawl
Every time I get a leg up on the ladder of success
I shake and fall.

Back last week down at the factory
I was up for a promotion
And the bosses little brother got the call
Seems like every time I make my mark
Somebody always paints the wall.

If my old truck was a horse I'd have to shoot it
Lord, the day my ship came in I was waiting for a train
Every time I get some news there's nothing to it
You're my only pleasure from the pain.

Hon., you know I'm always saying I'm sorry
But you stand by me through it all
Seems like every time I make my mark
Somebody always paints the wall.

Seems like every time I make my mark
Somebody always paints the wall

"Somebody Wants Me Out Of The Way"

"Somebody Wants Me Out Of The Way"

Somebody keeps paying my bar tab
But the bartender won't tell me who
He gives me six cold ones to go when he closes
And slips me a dollar or two

My woman is keeping me busy
And I'm afraid to go ask her why but the more
I keep drinking, the more I keep thinking
There's somebody new in her life

Somebody wants me out of the way
And I bet I'll find out when I go home today
Here comes the waitress with a loaded down tray
Somebody wants me out of the way

Now, my woman is under suspicion
And all I can see in my mind
It's two cheating lovers who love under cover
And the covers they're under is mine

Somebody wants me out of the way
And I bet I'll find out when I go home today
Here come the waitress with a loaded down tray
Somebody wants me out of the way
Somebody wants me out of the way

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You)"

I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You expect me to be true and keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue you think I can't forget you.

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody new
No you don't want me now I'll get along somehow
And then I won't won't want you.

(You expect me to be true and keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue you think I can't forget you.)

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody new
No you don't want me now I'll get along somehow
And then I won't won't want you...

"Someday My Day Will Came"

"Someday My Day Will Came"

Someday my day will come
And I won't need a thing at all
Yes, I can stand proud and tall
And say just what I feel
Someday my day will come
When dreams become reality
I'll be the one I want to be
Someday my day will come
It's a tiring path we travel through
For each step I take Lord I'm set back two
We all have roles in life to play
And I'll play a great one someday
Someday my day will come
I'll hold true love right in my hand
I'll touch the pretty rainbow's end
And my cup will overflow
Someday my day will come
I'll watch my ship as it comes in
My castles won't be made of sand
Someday my day will come
I'll hold true love right in my hand
Someday my day will come...

"Someone Sweet To Love"

"Someone Sweet To Love"

Mama knows her child is ailing
What is wrong there ain't no telling
She don't know what's run my fever up
She wants to take me to the clinic
I don't need to see no dentist
All I need is someone sweet to love

Don't you bring me Doctor Jake
I'm strong enough to swim a lake
All I need is what I'm dreaming of
She lives just some corner
Help me out or I'm a goner
I've gotta find me someone sweet to love

Yes I work hard to make my money
Like the beehives love their honey
Everything but one fits like a glove
So don't send me a nice long letter
Asking me if I feel better
All I need is someone sweet to love

Don't you bring me Doctor Jake
I'm strong enough to swim a lake
All I need is what I'm dreaming of
She lives just some corner
Help me out or I'm a goner
I've gotta find me someone sweet to love

"Someone That You Used To Know"

"Someone That You Used To Know"

Four walls, two chests and the doorway
To a room that has always stayed closed
But sometimes that door can be opened
By someone that you used to know.

It's been many long years since I've seen her
I got a letter just yesterday
It came like the rain out of no where
And here's what she had to say.

The years have gone by, some good and some bad
But I never stop thinking 'bout the times that we had
Oh, so meet me tomorrow where we used to go
She signed it someone that you used to know.

Time is a river that flows down the stream
Never to return to the place where it's been
Still there's some people that stays in your soul
Like someone that you used to know.

The years have gone by, some good and some bad
But I never stop thinking 'bout the times that we had
Oh, so meet me tomorrow where we used to go
She signed it someone that you used to know.

Someone that you used to know...

"Someone's Watching Over You"

"Someone's Watching Over You"

(Someone who's watching over you tonight)
If you do your best to do what's right
And you don't have trouble sleeping at night
And the devil don't fill your soul with cry
And there's someone who's watching over you tonight
If you lend the hand to every man
And you treat him like he's your friend
And your conscience tells you you've done what's right
Then there's someone who's watching over you tonight
Yes friends you know he'll watch over you
As you rest your very weary head
And the angels will always be standing there
Yes right there when you'll be dead
So if you do your best to do what's right
And you don't have trouble sleeping at night
And the devil don't fill your soul with cry
And there's someone who's watching someone who's watching
Someone who's watching over you tonight
