"Me And Jesus"

"Me And Jesus"

Well, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out.

Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

Well, I know a man
That once was a sinner
I know a man
That once was a drunk.

And I know a man
That once was a loser
But he went out one day
And made an altar out of a stump.

Well, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out.

Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

Jesus brought me
Thruough all of my troubles
Jesus brought me
Through all of my trials.

And my Jesus brought me
Through all of my heartaches
And I know my Jesus
Isn't gonna forsake me now.

'Cause, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out.

Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

Now, we can't afford
Any fancy preaching
We can't afford
Any fancy church.

We can't afford
Any fancy singing
But you know
Jesus got a lotta poor people
Out doing his work.

Oh, me and Jesus
We got our own things going
Me and Jesus
We got it all worked out

Oh, Me and Jesus
We got our own things going
We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

No, We don't need anybody
To tell us what it's all about.

"Mem'ryville"

"Mem'ryville"

There's a name that my lips cannot deny
There's a dream that I know will never die
There's a time that will stand forever still
There's a place in my mind called Mem'ryville.

There's a hope (there's a hope) that hangs on and won't turn loose
There's a heart (there's a heart) that will always beat for you
There's a pain that no one but you can kill
There's a place in my mind called Mem'ryville.

I can't help it if I can't control my feelings
I can't help it when I do the things I do
Please forgive me if I'm not an easy loser
I can't help it if I can't stop loving you.

There's a street (there's a street) where some children used to play
There's a church (there's a church) where a family used to pray
There's a time that will stand forever still
There's a place in my mind called Mem'ryville.

There's a time that will stand forever still
There's a place in my mind called Mem'ryville.

There's a place in my mind called Mem'ryville...

"Memories Of Us"

"Memories Of Us"

The old man has sold his apples
Isn't there any more
And the city square don't seem as big
As it did before.

They tore down that old drug store
We used to love so much
But everything is still the same
In my memories of us.

That old school bus has long stopped runnin'
And I heard the driver died
And the movie house is all boarded up
Where we set side by side.

And the sign that said 'State Champions'
It's covered up with dust
But everything it's still the same
In my memories of us.

In my memories of us
Things are still the same
For yesterdays is something
Tomorrows can not change.

Where freckles just don't disappear
Ands pigtails never rust
And everything it's still the same
In my memories of us.

My memories of us...

"Milwaukee, Here I Come"

"Milwaukee, Here I Come"

Well, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.

Milwaukee is where we were before we came here
Workin' in a Bluerry making the finest steer
You come to me on payday night said let's go to Tennessee
So we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry.

Well, we were watchin' TV, Ernest Tubb was singin' loud
I said that's the man for me, I love him there's no doubt
I'm leavin' you there's no doubt to find out where he's at
Never can get 'em, I'm settled for that bluegrass Lester Flatt.

Oh, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.

I'm a goin' now and trade my ol' Ford for a nose
Honey, I might get all drunk up and trade it for the rose
There's a one thing I know for sure I'll always be blue
There ain't no way get drunk enough to stop lovin' you.

So, I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna leave this town till you decide
Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee.

Oh, Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee...

"Mockin' Bird Hill"

"Mockin' Bird Hill"

When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockin' Bird Hill.

Tra la la, twitle dee dee dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra la la, twitle dee dee dee. There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill.

Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a three dollar bill
There's a tumbledown shack and a rusty ol' mill
But it's my home sweet home up on Mockin' Bird Hill.

Tra la la, twitle dee dee dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra la la, twitle dee dee dee. There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill.

When it's late in the evening I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an ol' whippoorwill
Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin' Bird Hill.

Tra la la, twitle dee dee dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill
Tra la la, twitle dee dee dee. There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill.

You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill...

"Mom And Dad's Waltz"

"Mom And Dad's Waltz"

I'd walk for miles, cry or smile for mama and daddy
I want them, I want them to know
Just how I feel, my love is real for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so.

In my heart joy tears start 'cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles, cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so

I'd fight in wars, do all the chores for my mama and daddy
I want them to live on till they're called
I'd work and slave and never rave to my mama and daddy
Because I know I owe them my all.

In my heart joy tears start 'cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles, cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so

"Moments Of Brilliance"

"Moments Of Brilliance"

I wasn't the smart one in class
And I wasn't the one who ran fast
I begin things then I don't follow through
But I have moments of brilliance with you.

There are timers when I'm glorious perfection itself
There are times when I'm even amazed at myself
I'll admit it my talents are few
But I have moments of brilliance with you.

I can't draw lines that look straight
I live life a half hour late
As a lover, I'm average, it's true
But I have moments of brilliance with you.

There are timers when I'm glorious perfection itself
There are times when I'm even amazed at myself
I'll admit it my talents are few
But I have moments of brilliance with you.

Moments of brilliance with you...

"Money To Burn"

"Money To Burn"

Everywhere you seem to go there I suppose you'll find a yearn
Oh, how I'd like to be that man, he's got money to burn
Oh, how I'd like to be that man, he's got money to burn.

It's money in my pocket but heartaches in my heart
And how many times have you heard it said
A fool and his money will part.

I thought money it was everything and was all I'd ever need
Oh, but a man without a woman's love is like a garden without seed
Oh, but a man without a woman's love is like a garden without seed.

Yes, money in my pockets and memories on my mind
Memories of an old love, the one I left behind.

I'm a rich man in pennies but oh, what I paid to learn
A wealth of love is worth much more than all my money to burn
A wealth of love is worth much more than all my money to burn.

I thought money in my pocket was all I'd ever need
Oh, but a man without a woman's love is like a garden without seed
Oh, but a man without a woman's love is like a garden without seed

"Mr. Fool"

"Mr. Fool"

I've got a feeling you'll soon be leaving
But I won't beg you not to go
Because I've always been
A fool to cry for you

I know this time it's really over
For there's no happiness in store
And I will never be the fool I was before
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more

My tears were scattered with all was shattered
Dreams that faded in the past
Vows were spoken and vows were broken
But the last one was the last

So I'll keep smiling although you're leaving
For time will heal a heart that's sore
And I will never be the fool I was before
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more

So I'll keep smiling although you're leaving
For time will heal a heart that's sore
And I will never be the fool I was before
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more

"Multiply The Heartaches"

"Multiply The Heartaches"

Once I thought two happy hearts would someday be as one
But then a third heart came along and now our love is gone
I count the many times I said I love no one but you
But don't be fooled by counting dreams that never will come true
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches
Divide the tears by everytime a heart breaks
The answer only tells that it's too late
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches...
Subtract one love and multiply the heartaches
