"Today My World Slipped Away"

"Today My World Slipped Away"


We made it final today.
I gave you all I had, you made your getaway.
All the love we once made turned to memories today.
I left the courtroom and went straight to the church.
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt.
Nothin' left of my heart;
It's gonna be so hard to make a new start.

[Chorus:]
'Cause today my world slipped away.
We buried the plans that we made.
And tonight I'm alone and afraid.
'Cause today my world slipped away.

All my friends say I'll make it alright.
I'll recover and start a new life.
But that'll be so hard to do
'Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you.

[Chorus]

"Too Much Of Too Little"

"Too Much Of Too Little"


Well here we sit at a table for two
But bottle there's just me and you
She loved me so but I loved her so wrong
I gave her too much of too little too long

So tell me bottle are the things I hear true
That all the answers are in the bottle of you
I need your help this memory's so strong
I gave her too much of too little too long

Sometimes a man can get lost in a world of his own
He'll neglect his real world who's waiting at home
A woman needs her man's love to lean on
I gave her too much of too little too long

I gave her too much of too little too long

"Trains Make Me Lonesome"

"Trains Make Me Lonesome"


I was 5 years old
When Daddy started packing
And I stood there by my momma
As she cried
And the next thing that we knew
Some old train came passing through
And Daddy got on board
And we ain't seen him no more

[Chorus:]
I wonder why trains make me lonesome
It happens everytime that engine moans some
And when I hear that whistle blow
It makes my heart sink low
And I wonder why trains make me lonesome

It was a cold dark night
When I drove her to the depot
There were tears in my eyes
And a ticket in her hand
And as we stood there by those tracks
I knew she wasn't coming back
So I turned and walked away
But I still miss her today

[Chorus]

Those ink spots look engine No. 9
And this couch on which I lay
Suppose to haul my blues away
That old pipe you keep toking
Is like an old cold enging smoking

[Chorus]

"Troubadour"

"Troubadour"


I still feel 25 most of the time.
I still raise a little cain with the boys.
Honky Tonks and pretty women,
But Lord I'm still right there with 'em
Singing above the crowd and the noise...

[CHORUS]
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James
Still tryin' to make a name.
Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am.
I was a young troubador
When I wrote in on a song.
And I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone...

Well the truth about a mirror...
Is that a damn old mirror...
Don't really tell the whole truth.
It don't show what's deep inside.
Or read between the lines.
And it's really no reflextion of my youth...

[CHORUS]
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James
Still tryin' to make a name.
Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am.
I was a young troubador
When I wrote in on a song.
I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone...

I was a young troubador
When I wrote in on a song.
And I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone...
I'll be an old troubador when I'm gone...

"True"

"True"


True in this modern world when two lovers get together
Chances of 'em ever makin' it to forever
Couldn't be better than two in a million hearts.
Girl this ain't just another run of the mill emotion
What I'm feelin' is the definition of devotion,
My love for you is true.

[Chorus:]
True, like the sun comin' up each mornin'
Bright as the light in a baby's smile,
Sure as a mountain river windin',
Right as the rain fallin' from the sky,
Girl my love for you, is true.

True, not another minute on this Earth can be borrowed,
So there's no way to know when I'll live my last tomorrow
But everyday I get, I'll share with you.
This feelin' just keeps gettin' stronger as the time goes by
It's written on my face, you can see it in my eyes,
My love for you is true.

[Chorus 2x]

"Twang"

"Twang"


When I get off of work on Friday after working like a dog all week
I go to meet the boys for a cold one at a little joint up the street
They got a jukebox in the corner full of old country tunes
Feed it five dollars worth of quarters is the first thing I always do

'Cause I need a little twang, a little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stomping honky tonkin' feeling going through my veins
I need a little twang, twang, twang

Well, I like a lot of kinds of music, I try to keep an open mind
Depending on the mood to strike me if I'm gonna stay till closing time
So when I wanna lift my spirits to get me feeling worth a dang
I know I'm gonna have to hear it 'cause I gotta have some Hank to hang

'Cause I need a little twang, a little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stomping honky tonkin' feeling going through my veins
I need a little twang

'Cause I need a little twang, a little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stomping honky tonkin' feeling going through my veins
I need a little twang, twang, twang
I need a little twang, twang, twang

"Under These Conditions"

"Under These Conditions"


Oh how I wish
You could read my mind
Cause words can't always tell it
Like it is some times
When we're this close
The lights and music glow
Why don't we let our feelings
Take us where we want to go

Under these conditions
There ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions
That's running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man
And under these conditions
Hearts get out of hand

You've got those eyes
That won't let go of me
They pull me in and out of touch
With reality
And you got those lips,
That I just got to taste
I'd love to hear them whisper
Darlin take me from this place

Under these conditions
There ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions
That's running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man
And under these conditions
Hearts get out of hand

"Unwound"

"Unwound"


Give me a bottle of your very best
'Cause I've got a problem I'm gonna drink off my chest.
I'm gonna spend the night getting down
'Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

[Chorus:]
That woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound.
She kicked me out of the house and tonight I'm whiskey bound.
Yeah I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town
'Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

Well she packed my bags and opened up the door.
And I got a feeling she didn't want me 'round no more.
She caught me in a lie when I was messin' around,
And that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

[Chorus]

And that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

"We Must Be Loving Right"

"We Must Be Loving Right"


Some folks got nothing but trouble
So little joy in their lives
But wherever we go happiness follows
We must be lovin' right

It might be the way I adore you
Or the way that you hold me tight
I don't know the reasons girl I'm believing
We must be lovin' right

All our friends say love fades away with time
But I know their wrong
'Cause they've never known
A love like yours and mine

So if the whole world goes crazy
Let everyone else fuss and fight
When all is said and done, we'll be the lucky ones
We must be lovin' right

Some folks got nothin' but troubles
So little joy in their lives
But wherever we go happiness follows
We must be lovin' right
We must be lovin' right

"We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This"

"We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This"


We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you need to lie.
This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere,
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this.

Only an isolated incident, but the acquaintance left me stunned.
The first attraction was the hardest hit I thought I'd ever overcome.
This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last.
To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.

We'd each be hurting somebody else if we don't say our good-byes real fast.
Won't even think about a farewell kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.
Well...

We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you have to lie.
This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere,
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this.

This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last.
To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.
Won't even think about a good-bye kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this.
