"Let's Get Down To It"

"Let's Get Down To It"


Don't need your love
On a silver platter
Let's get down to the nitty grit
Let's cut out all the chatter
Get to the heart of the matter
Honey let's get down to it

Let's get down to some huggin' and some squeezin'
Arm and arm
We'd be a perfect fit
So put a freeze on the teasin'
Let's get on with the pleasin'
Honey let's get down to it

I know that you want to
I can see it when I look into those big green eye's
Baby let's come to grits
Don't play so hard to get
Honey let's get down to it

I get a chill every time your near me
You've got my heart doin' flips
I only aim to please
If you'd let go you'd see
Honey let's get down to it

I know that you want to
I can see it when I look into those big green eye's
Baby let's come to grits
Don't play so hard to get
Honey let's get down to it

Honey let's get down to it

"Living And Living Well"

"Living And Living Well"


Had a nice little life
A little boat a little beach
A little routine I liked
A blue ocean view
Free to go with the flow
Anywhere that I wanted to
But the moment you set foot on my shore
That's when I knew

There's a difference in living and living well
You can't have it all all by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

'Til you smiled with me
Thought that I had it good
As good as it could be
From the back of my deck
Caught a fish caught a breeze
And a thousand red sunsets
But sitting here with you girl I just saw
The best one yet

There's a difference in living and living well
You can't have it all all by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

My days are brighter
My sky a deeper blue
My nights are sweeter
When I'm with you

There's a difference in living and living well
You can't have it all all by yourself
Something's always missing
'Til you share it with someone else
There's a difference in living and living well

"Living For The Night"

"Living For The Night"


Everyday is a lifetime without you
Hard to get through, since you’ve gone
So I do the only thing I know how to , to get back
I’m living for the night

I’ve drawn all the curtains in this old house
To keep the sun out, off of my face
Friends stop by to check - in ‘cause I’ve checked out
I tell them I’m fine, I’m just living for the night

I can’t hide the tears I cry, the pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out, into those neon arms that hold me tight
I’m living for the night

I’m a whole lot easier to talk to, when I’ve had a few, settled down
Whiskey kills the man you’ve turned me into
And I come alive
I’m living for the night

I can’t hide the tears I cry, the pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out, into those neon arms that hold me tight
I’m living for the night
I’m living for the night

Everyday is a lifetime without you

"Lone Star Blues"

"Lone Star Blues"


At a truck stop in San Angelo
I saw a billboard about this rodeo
This weekend out in El Paso
So I signed up to ride

I drew a bull called Original Sin
I heard he'd killed a couple of men
Thinkin' this was somethin' I could win
Cause the devil was on my side

I was havin' myself one hell of a ride
But I ended up disqualified
That danged old bull just up and died
Before they blew the whistle

With them north Texas blues
Thought I'd paid all my dues
Then them south Texas blues
Told me son you ain't through
Had the east Texas blues
And the west Texas too
I've done all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose
These old lone star blues

Well I got laid off at Brown & Root
Then on my way back to Cut and Shoot
I lost my wristwatch and my boots
Shootin' dice with a dude from Houston

Well there ain't no jobs here workin' cattle
So I got on part time haulin' gravel
With some outfit from Seattle
Down here buildin' custom homes

With them north Texas blues
Thought I'd paid all my dues
Then them south Texas blues
Told me son you ain't through
Had the east Texas blues
And the west Texas too
I've done all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose
These old lone star blues

Well I gassed my truck and I packed my clothes
Turned in the key and hit the road
I said Cowtown's where I'll go
You never know I might get lucky

Well I got a friend there turning knobs
At a place called Billy Bob's
Said he could get me a job there
Workin' as a bouncer

First night on the job was just insane
Some ol' boy got all deranged
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain
To this day my ears still ring

With them north Texas blues
Thought I'd paid all my dues
Then them south Texas blues
Told me son you ain't through
Had the east Texas blues
And the west Texas too
I've done all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose
These old lone star blues

I've done all I know to do
Tryin' to lose, tryin' to lose
These old lone star blues

"Lonsome Rodeo Cowboy"

"Lonsome Rodeo Cowboy"


I own this horse and saddle
And that old Cadillac
This broken down horse trailer
And the clothes that are on my back
Well I know that it ain't a hell of alot
But it's all that I can show

My wife left me five years ago
In one of those rodeo towns
I can't say that I blame her much
She just wanted to settle down
Oh God how I miss that woman
It hurt so to see her go
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
But I'm hooked on this rodeo

[Chorus:]
And I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
I'm a little bit over the hill
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
But I guess I never will
So I keep on movin from show to show
Hopin to change my luck
My good ol days are just a memory
But I just can't give it up

There was a time I used to do alright
And bring home my share of the dough
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys
I guess I must be gettin slow
But there's one thing you learn from this
You gotta make it on your own
Cause when your on top you've got a million friends
But when your down buddy you're all alone

[Chorus]

My good ol days are just a memory
But I just can't give it up

"Look Who's Back From Town"

"Look Who's Back From Town"


Those city lights drew you like a magnet
You were attracted to his high-falootin' crowd
I begged you not to go, but you still packed up
I've been expectin' you
Oh, look who's back from town

My old truck could not compare to his Mercedes
Did it humble you when you rode back on that Greyhound
You picked a plastic rose and left a field of daisies
I've been expectin' you
Oh, look who's back from town

[Chorus:]
What brings you back to this part of the country
Well let me guess, ol' loverboy let you down
Did he throw you away like his money
I've been expectin' you
Oh, look who's back from town

[Chorus]

I've been expectin' you
Oh, look who's back from town

"Looking Out My Window Through Pain"

"Looking Out My Window Through Pain"


I watched from my window as she slipped from the house
Once again she's leaving, but Lord, she's not to blame
This morning a memory phoned her and he's a habit she can't break
So 'til she returns, I'll wait for her, looking out my window through the pain

[Chorus:]
The devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again she's chasing memories and I'm losing everything
But I love her, so I'll wait for her, looking out my window through the pain

I'll pick up the pieces when he lets her down again
With love and understanding, I'll give her reasons this time to stay
And I'll close my eyes pretending maybe someday she will change
And I won't be left lonely, looking out my window through the pain

[Chorus:]
Yes, the devil drove the taxi that carried her away
And it hurts to know she's still hung up on some guy from yesterday
Once again she's chasing memories and I'm losing everything
But Lord I love her, so I'll wait for her, looking out my window through the pain

"Love Comes From The Other Side Of Town"

"Love Comes From The Other Side Of Town"


When things get bad at home
You don't feel like being alone
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
For the feelings we once shared
Are just no longer there
And love comes from the other side of town.

[Chorus:]
Where love means just an hour
With your stand in
And not an empty house
Where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love
Was not on solid ground
Now love comes from the other side of town.

The life I'm livin' now
Just don't seem right somehow
But it's the best way
To get by that I've found.
There's no love left at home
We're both just hangin' on
And love comes from the other side of town.

[Chorus]

Love comes from the other side of town.

"Love Is Everything"

"Love Is Everything"


It's a whole lot more than going to the store for a wedding ring
It's kissing' and a hugging' but it's also the kicking and the cussing thing
I've been told

Love is everything
it's a smile on your face on a cold winter day at the thought of spring
It's getting up at night for the cry of a little bitty baby thing
And it's growing old

Love is everything
It's those fires that daddy stoked those nights to keep you warm
It's the hell your mama went through the day you were born
And it's a thunderstorm

Love is everything
Oh, it's going off to war, it's the back and forth on a front porch swing
It's the kiss that you got in the old parking lot of the dairy queen
and it's you and me

Love is everything
It's looking out for everybody else but number one
And it's all that really matters when all's said and done
And the race is run

Love is everything
It's a rose on a stone, it's the words in a song that the chorir sings
it's the tears of goodbye and the place that you fly to, to get your wings
Yeah love's the king
Love is everything
love is everything

"Love Without End, Amen"

"Love Without End, Amen"


I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye.
Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why.
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed.
And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst.

[Chorus:]
And he said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us."
He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then.
It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."

When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son.
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end,
I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him.

[Chorus]

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates.
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake.
If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in.
And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again.

[Chorus]
