"Wood And Wire"

"Wood And Wire"


Fame... A dream put off for the familys needs
He puts in eight down at the factory
When he gets home his feet are tired
If he had his way he'd been a workin'
With his hands on wood and wire

Saginaw spruce
Tennessee maple
Sears and Robuck
Black Diamond Strings
Late at night he fans that fire...
When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

Days... years... his dream just disappeared
They never once heard him complainin'
Their every wish is his desire
And without them he might have made it
With his hands on wood and wire..

Saginaw spruce
Tennessee maple
Sears and Robuck
Black Diamond Strings
Late at night he fans that fire...
When he grabs hold of that wood and wire

If u ask him.. he will tell u...
That he don't have no regrets
Then he'll take his calloused fingers
And let 'em fly across those frets

Saginaw spruce
Tennessee maple
Sears and Robuck
Black Diamond Strings
Late a night he fans that fire
When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

Late a night he fans that fire
When he grabs a hold of that wood and wire...

"World Of Forgotten People"

"World Of Forgotten People"


I live in the world, world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, a world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine

Well, I've loved and I'd been loved but I had the reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find that I was wrong too late I'm all alone
Alone in a world of broken hearts
I live in the world, a world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, a world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine

I live in the world, world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, a world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine

"World's Worst Loser"

"World's Worst Loser"


I've been called the world's worst loser
And I don't doubt a moment that it's true
But I can't smile pretending I won't miss you
I'm the world's worst loser when I'm losing you

I may even cry when it's over
And make fun of yours somebody new
But I'll hold on as long as I can because
I'm the world's worst loser when I'm losing you

I may even cry when it's over
And make fun of yours somebody new
But I'll hold on as long as I can because
I'm the world's worst loser when I'm losing you
Yes, I'm the world's worst loser when I'm losing you

"Worried Mind"

"Worried Mind"


You promised me love
That would never die
That promise you've made
Was only a lie.

Now after you've gone
All alone I've pined
For all that I've got
Was a worried mind.

I gave you a ring
I gave you a home
You promised me love
That you'd never wrong.

I bought you fine clothes
And I bought you wine
But all that I got
Was a worried mind.

And when I was down
You've just left me there
I needed you so
But you didn't care.

You found a new love
And a home so fine
But all that I've got
Is a worried mind...

"Worst Of Luck"

"Worst Of Luck"


I just got the news, I understand you're married
While your friends are congratulatin' you
I'll add my two cents and I'll convey my feelings
So here's wishing all the worst of luck to you.

May the troubles that you have all be big ones
I hope every dress he buys you turns to blue
May your life with him be one big mess of heartaches
Oh, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you.

I hope everything he touches start to hurtin'
Cause I know that he'll be touchin' you a lot
If you think I want revenge well, you're right I really do
So, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you.

May your life with him be one big mess of
Oh, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you

Yes, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you

"Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport?"

"Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport?"


If they saw Him riding in, long hair flying in the wind,
Would they love Him down in Shreveport today?
If they heard He was a Jew and a Palestinian too,
Would they love Him down in Nashville today?

If they saw Him talk with ease
To the junkies, whores, and thieves,
Would they love Him out in Wichita today?
Would the rich men think it funny
If He said give up your money?
Would they love Him up on Wall Street today?

If He made the wine from water,
Gave it to their sons and daughters,
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?
If He talked of brotherhood
As He walked their neighborhoods,
Would they love Him up in Boston today?

Oh, If He said love those who use you,
And forgive those who abuse you,
If He turned the other cheek, what would you say?
Would you laugh and call Him crazy,
And just send Him on his way,
If He walked right into your town today?

Would you laugh and call Him crazy,
And just send Him on his way,
If He walkd right into your town today?

"Wouldn't I"

"Wouldn't I"


I don't suppose you'd like to come with me and slip away
Oh wouldn't I oh wouldn't I
But if I woke up in your arms would you still feel this way
Oh wouldn't I oh wouldn't I

You wouldn't risk the love you have at home to be with me
Oh wouldn't I oh wouldn't I
But I know you could outlove her if you and I was free
Oh wouldn't I oh wouldn't I

Wouldn't it be great if the fickle hands are fate
And just us when we were young and free
But somehow it's just not fair yes we've made quite a pair
Oh wouldn't we oh wouldn't we

"Wreck On The Highway"

"Wreck On The Highway"


Who did you say it was brother
Who was it fell by the way
When whiskey and blood ran together
Did you hear anyone pray?

When I heard the crash on the highway
I knew what it was from the start
I went to the scene of destruction
And the picture was stamped on my heart.

I didn't hear nobody pray dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
I've heard the crash on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray.

There was whiskey and blood all together
Mixed with glass where they lay
Death played her hand in destruction
But I didn't hear nobody pray.

I wish I could change this sad story
That I am now telling you
But there is no way I can change it
For somebody's life is now through.

I didn't hear nobody pray dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
I've heard the crash on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray.

Their soul has been called by the Master
they died in the crash on the way
I heard the groans of the dying
But I didn't hear nobody pray.

I didn't hear nobody pray dear brother
I didn't hear nobody pray
I've heard the crash on the highway
But I didn't hear nobody pray.
No, I didn't hear nobody pray...

"Writing On The Wall"

"Writing On The Wall"


She was holding back the tears
As I packed up the last few years
And said, "I'm tired of being so tied down"
I'm sure the kids will understand
That daddy's making other plans
I grab my bags and I was freedom bound

And then I saw the writing on the wall
It said, "We love you daddy most of all"
There in purple crayons, scribbled knee high in the hall
I saw the writing on the wall

When the [?] wore off, of being free
Their memories started haunting me
I headed home as fast as I could go
My keys still fit that same ol' door
But no one lived there anymore
And that tender message made my tear drops flow

And then I saw the writing on the wall
It said, "We love you daddy most of all"
There in purple crayons, scribbled knee high in the hall
I saw the writing on the wall, I saw the writing on the wall

"Wrong Number"

"Wrong Number"


My fingers tremble as I slowly touch the phone
I dial your number not knowing if your own
It rings you answer with sweet hello
My heart beats loudly as the teardrops start to flow.

I bite my lip until the blood runs free
And keep the words I love you hidden deep deep inside of me
I hang up wrong number I hear you tell your friend
But I just had to hear you talkin' once again.

And divisible was the word for you and me
But just one word in a just one moment will change happiness into misery
You hang up again and I know what you will say
Wrong number, that's the second time today.

Wrong number, that's the second time today
