Honey Hush

Honey Hush

So many things are on your mind
You look troubled and scared to death
And the chores you missed on your very long list
That won't let you catch your breath.

I know we've had some hard times
But I won't let that get in your way
Before you cry tonight and get up tight
There's one thing that I'd like to say.

Honey hush, turn the lights down low
Don't push so hard
Leave our cares and woes
And won't you please
Let me lead you across the floor.

Honey hush, it'll be alright
Don't you think we should discuss
Oh, but not tonight
We can worry in the mornin'
But right now, Honey hush.

--- Instrumental ---

Things don't change very easy

It's like our whole world is falling apart
But this love we share shows how much we care
We're forever joined at the heart.

I believe that we will get through this
Though we don't rightly know what to do
If there's a will there's a way with these bills to pay
As long as I know I've got you.

Honey hush, turn the lights down low
Don't push to hard
Leave your cares and woe
And dance with me
Let me lead you across the floor.

Honey hush, It'll be alright
Don't you think we
Oh, but not tonight
We can worry in the mornin'
But right now, Honey hush.

We can worry in the mornin'
But right now, Honey hush.

Honey hush...

Honky Tonk Myself To Death

Honky Tonk Myself To Death

Well I don't know why you left me but I do know that your gone Over night you turned my life into a sad ol' song And one way or another, I gotta get over you Well there's only one thing left for me to do Lord, I don't wanna die of a broken heart That would be too sad Or drive my car off a cliff Well, that would just hurt too bad And if I tied a rope around my neck, I couldn't get my breath Well I think I'll just honky-tonk myself to death Well, I may get a little bit crazy but I don't wanna go insane Young women and ole whisky, well it just may kill the pain I'm gonna find the highest barstool and climb up to the top. I think I'll just drink and two-step until I drop Lord, I don't wanna die of a broken heart That would be too sad Or drive my car off a cliff Well, that would just hurt too bad And if I tied a rope around my neck, I couldn't get my breath Well I think I'll just honky-tonk myself to death And if I tied a rope around my neck, I couldn't get my breath Well I think I'll just honky-tonk myself to death Yeah, I think I'll honky-tonk myself to death

Honky Tonk Song

Honky Tonk Song

I saw those blue lights flashin' over my left shoulder
He walked right up and said get off that riding mower
I said sir let me explain before you put me in the tank
She took my keys away and now she won't drive me to drink
I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beer
A hardwood floor a smoky atmosphere
A pocket full of change to last me all night long
I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song
[ guitar ]
He didn't show me much compassion when I tried to walk that line
As he put those handcuffs on me I said give me one more try
He never even cracked a smile when he threw me in the car
So I said sir if you don't mind oh would you drop me off in a bar
I need a honky tonk song...
I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song

Hopelessly Yours

Hopelessly Yours

I love you. I hate you. Forget you. But I'm afraid to.
You loved me, or did you? I'll never be sure.
But one thing's for certain in spite of this hurtin' forever I'm hopelessly yours.

From laughing to crying from living to dying.
From Heaven to heartaches I know I can't cure.
But one thing's for certain in spite of this hurtin' forever I'm hopelessly yours.

I cry on the slightest of motions cuz I'm just going through these emotions.

I love you. I hate you. Forge tyou. Hun but I'm afraid to. You loved me, or did you? I'll never be sure. But one thing's for certain in spite of this hurtin' forever I'm hopelessly yours. I'll always be hopelessly yours. Hopelessly yours.

House Without Love (is Not A Home)

House Without Love (is Not A Home)

For years we both have lived on pride dear and we agree that love is gone
Why oh why do we keep tryin' a house without love is not a home
The love light in your eyes has faded and I'm contented just to roam
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure a house without love is not a home
[ steel ]
No matter where our footsteps wander I know we'll both be all alone
With the pride that came between us a house without love is not a home
The simple things have gone forever we wanted wealth to call our own
Now we've reached the hour of parting a house without love is not a home

How Beautiful Heaven Must Be

How Beautiful Heaven Must Be

We read of a place that's called heaven,
It's made for the pure and the free;
These truths in God's word He has given,
How beautiful heaven must be.

Chorus:
How beautiful heaven must be
Sweet home of the happy and free;
Fair haven of rest for the weary,
How beautiful heaven must be.

In heaven no drooping nor pining,
No wishing for elsewhere to be;
God's light is forever, there shining,
How beautiful heaven must be.

Chorus:
How beautiful heaven must be
Sweet home of the happy and free;
Fair haven of rest for the weary,
How beautiful heaven must be.

--- Instrumental ---

The angels so sweetly are singing,
Up there by the beautiful sea;
Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing,
How beautiful heaven must be.

Chorus:
How beautiful heaven must be
Sweet home of the happy and free;
Fair haven of rest for the weary,
How beautiful heaven must be...

How Much Rain Can One Man Stand

How Much Rain Can One Man Stand

Like a raging flood that ruins a poor man's land
You keep doing things to hurt me all you can
But the thickness that we knew is growing thin
How much rain can one man stand
How much rain can one man stand
I gave you everything but my right hand
If you won't let me love you then don't let me be your friend
How much rain can one man stand
I can see them big old storm clouds movin' in
There's a stranger in your big brown eyes again
And you've told him that I'm just an old time friend
How much rain can one man stand
How much rain can one man stand...
How much rain can one man stand

"(It's The Bible Against The Bottle) The Battle For"

"(It's The Bible Against The Bottle) The Battle For"


It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul
It's moma against the party girls
Over who's gonna win control
On Sunday it's Rock of Ages
On Monday let the good times roll
It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul.

If faith can move a mountain
Moma's gonna win
But even moma will admit
There's a whole lot goin' for sin
With sweet red wine and party girls
And the big time songs to sing
Maybe she could tell daddy
That's really the swingin' thing.

It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul
It's moma against the party girls
Over who's gonna win control
On Sunday it's Rock of Ages
On Monday let the good times roll
It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul.

Well, I just can't help believing'
Momas's gonna win
The milk of human kindness
Is a whole lot stronger than gin
With faith in God and daily prayer
And gospel songs to sing
Moma keeps a-showin' daddy
God's love is a precious thing.

It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul
It's moma against the party girls
Over who's gonna win control
On Sunday it's Rock of Ages
On Monday let the good times roll
It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul.

It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul
It's moma against the party girls
Over who's gonna win control
On Sunday it's Rock of Ages
On Monday let the good times roll
It's the bible against the bottle
In the battle for daddy's soul...

"A Cold Day In December"

"A Cold Day In December"


We try hard to hold on too
You lost your patience and I lost my mind
Now you asked me would I go through it
If you came back one more time.

It'll be a cold day in December
It'll be a hot day in mid July
Or a cool night in late September
Before I give our love another try.

Just as sure as California
Has a white Atlantic shore
And a long eastern sunset
I won't want you for anymore.

It'll be a cold day in December
It'll be a hot day in mid July
Or a cool night in late September
Before I give our love another try.

There will be icebergs in the arctic ocean
There will be seashells in the Florida pan
And an old heart with in me beatin'
Before I ever take you back again.

It'll be a cold day in December
It'll be a hot day in mid July
Or a cool night in late September
Before I give our love another try

"A Day In The Life Of A Fool"

"A Day In The Life Of A Fool"


Off to work with no kiss of goodbye
Wear a smile on my face but I lied
Cup of coffee at the corner cafe
Catch the bus, read the news on my way
Those emotions the whole mornin' through
Start a day in the life of a fool
Sometimes I dial our number in hopes you return
But there's never an answer, guess I'll never learn
Hurry home, as tomorrow is through
Check the mail box no letter from you
Then I rush up the stairs to my memories, again
That's the day in the life of a fool
Yes, I rush up the stairs to my memories of you
That's the day in the life of a fool...
