"Looking For My Feel Good"

"Looking For My Feel Good"


Well, my heart ain't had nothin' since you left but the feel bad
When you left I lost my feel good like you knew I would
Well, when you left me sittin' here a-cryin' like you knew you could
And had me a-runnin' all over lookin' for my feel good.

Each night I paint the town until it closes
'Cause there's no love that waits for me at home.
I lie with all my friends to keep from cryin'
But they all know my feel good is gone.

Well, my heart ain't had nothin' since you left but the feel bad
When you left I lost my feel good like you knew I would
Well, when you left me sittin' here a-cryin' like you knew you could
And had me a-runnin' all over lookin' for my feel good.

When a hearts been used to maming one another
It's hard to learn to love each day alone
Well, it looks like I ain't gonna find my feel good
Till you change your mind and bring it back home.

Well, my heart ain't had nothin' since you left but the feel bad
When you left I lost my feel good like you knew I would
Well, when you left me sittin' here a-cryin' like you knew you could
And had me a-runnin' all over lookin' for my feel good.

And had me a-runnin' all over lookin' for my feel good....

"Lord You've Been Mighty Good To Me"

"Lord You've Been Mighty Good To Me"


(Lord, you've been mighty good to me.)

This year the boll weevil, he lives in my cotton
The big river flooded out my corn in the bottom
Talk about a man with troubles I've got 'em.
But you've been mighty good to me.
Lord, you've been mighty good to me.

My barn burned down and it was nearly new
A rat must of knawed the wires in two
But don't get me wrong I'm not fussin' at you.
For you've been mighty good to me.
Lord, you've been mighty good to me.

{Lord,} you've been mighty good to me
You've let me keep my family
To me you never have been rude
You keep my table filled with food.
And I thank you every night and day
'Cause I don't, enough I should say.
Lord, you've been mighty good to me.

My best horse fell and broke both hind legs
What chickens I have they won't lay any eggs
But you know, Lord, I never borrow or beg
For you've been mighty good to me
Lord, you've been mighty good to me.

(Lord, you've been mighty good to me
You've let me keep my family
To me you never have been rude
You keep my table filled with food.)

My best horse fell and broke both hind legs
What chickens I have they won't lay any eggs
But you know, Lord, I never borrow or beg
For you've been mighty good to me
Yes, you've been mighty good to me.

You've been mighty good to me
Lord, you've been mighty good to me...

"Louisiana Man"

"Louisiana Man"


At first mom and pap called their little boy Ned
They raised him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my papa and my mama and me.

The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat
At half past papa he's a ready to go
He jumps in his piro headed down the bayou.

He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He set crops in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen
Even got a lady make a muskart's cousin
Pile of hide drying in the hot hot sun
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon.

They call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac
Frank and Lynn are the family twins
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'.

On the river float papa's great big boat
That's how my papa goes into town
He takes every bit of the night and day
Then even reach the place where the people stay.

I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes his fure to town
Papa promised me that I could go
Even let me see a cowboy show.

I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
I told my papa gotta go again
Papa said son we got the lines to run
We'll come back again there's work to be done.

He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He set crops in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.

Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man...

"Love Bug"

"Love Bug"


Well, I was ruling the roost, had all the chicks to myself.
And suddenly it happened, that funny little feeling I felt.
Well, I tried to outrun it, but it finally caught up with me.
Tell me how can I run from something that I can't see?

Oh, that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
Nobody's ever seen it, but it's got the whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug.
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

Well, I always thought that I had me a pretty good style,
But I lost that race by a good old country mile.
Yeah, I was walking all around
With my head held way up high,
And it fooled me, hit me, really took me by surprise.

Oh, that little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.
Nobody's ever seen it, but it's got the whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug.
It's a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug.

Yes, a little bitty teeny weeny thing they call the lovebug...

"Love Coming Down"

"Love Coming Down"


I remember how your eyes used to light up
Over promises that I made
But for the first time in my life
I know now how it feels to be afraid
I don't know what I'd do if you go away
This would sure be one lonely old town
For a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down
I remember all the times you told me
Love's all that matters to you
And looking back now, wondering how I believed
I had things more important to do
I can see how I must have looked to you
Like some fool on a merry-go-round
And that a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love going down
Love going down
Can't you see how everything I've learned
Would just be wasted if you leave me
If you just give one more try
I swear I'll always be here when you need me
If you can find it in your heart to forgive me
I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground
But if a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down

"Love Is All We Need"

"Love Is All We Need"


Well just across the street from our little three rooms shack
There's a mansion that reaches the sky
With at least a dozen rooms and a great big swimming pool
Two sport cars and three long Cadillacs

And the only thing I own is a broken down old Ford
Half the time it won't even start
But you're won't hear us fightin' at four in the morning
Calling names to break each other's hearts

So they can have it we don't need it
Let them keep it and call it their own
Livin' that kind of life is not for you and me
We got love and love is all we need

I've never tired of wearin' that same old shaggy dress
One I bought down at the dollar store
Well if I watch ev'ry dime I spend and I save ev'ry stamp I can
Just get the things I know we can afford

And ev'ry afternoon I sit upon the porch
Watch them as they pass through those gates
I may wonder what it's like to be a fancy lady
But I always have a smile in my face

So they can have it we don't need it...
We got love and love is all we need

"Love Lives Again"

"Love Lives Again"


I never dreamed for a minute
That I'd ever have this chance
To hold you, to kiss you again
I thought that you were gone forever
But at last here we stand
Now there's happiness in my world
'Cause love lives again.

It would take me a lifetime
To explain the way it feels
To lose love, to have love again
You look as warm as I remember
Come to me and take my hand
You bring happiness to my world
And love lives again.

You look so good, feel so good, darlin'
You may be hungry for love
But I've been starvin'
Yes, I could live beyond forever
I'd never feel this good again
Now there's happiness in my world
And love lives again...

"Love's Gonna Live Here"

"Love's Gonna Live Here"


Oh, the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Thing's are gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again.

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again.
No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again.

I hear bells a ringing
I hear birds a singing
Love's gonna live here again.

I hear bees a hummin'
And I know the days are comin'
Love's gonna live here again.

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again.

No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again.

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again.

No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again...

"Lovely Place To Cry"

"Lovely Place To Cry"


I know this house is the finest one around
And we are both respected in our town
But our friends don't know the truth when they drop by
That our house is such a lovely place to cry.

I keep my yard cut as close as it can be
There's no litter laying round for one to see
And I know someday I'll tell this place goodbye
But till then it's sure a lovely place to cry.

You don't need lovely things around you
When you have no love left in you
And when you're already dead before you die
But someday someone will buy this place and be happy if they'll try.

But for us it's been a lovely place to cry.
Yes, for us it's been a lovely place to cry...

"Loveshine"

"Loveshine"


Ain't no need in me lying about it 'cause everybody knows the truth
I passed my share of Ole Jack and Jim Beam, white lightnin' and mountain dew
I've been down so low just to get me up by drinkin' anything I can find
But now when they say Jones what are you on I just smile and say, loveshine.

I found me a place where I can go with a still that never runs dry
You oughta see the love she makes for me in the still of the night
She's got a heart that's bigger than Billy Bob's bar and lips that are sweeter than wine
I don't mind sayin' I'm off of the wagon 'cause I can't get enough, of her loveshine.

There was a time you could always find me hangin' around some bar
'Cause I've always found me a place to hang my hat but not my heart
Everytime I see those swingin' doors I tell the driver just to pass on by
'Cause there ain't no room in old Jones' head for anything less than loveshine.

I found me a place where I can go with a still that never runs dry
You oughta see the love she makes for me in the still of the night
She's got a heart that's bigger than Billy Bob's bar and lips that are sweeter than wine
I don't mind sayin' I'm off of the wagon, I can't get enough, of her loveshine...
