"Never Wanted Nothing More"

"Never Wanted Nothing More"

Couldn't wait to turn 16 and drive all the boy's around
Foot on the gas and hands on the wheel was all I could think about
A little rust in the bed of that truck and a four speed on the floor
Five-hundred dollars it was mine, all mine and I never wanted nothin' more

I took Katie down by the river with a six dollar bottle of wine
Just a fool tryin' to play it cool hopin' she'd let me cross the line
I was praying that she couldn't tell I never been that far before
The first time's a one time feeling and I never wanted nothin' more,
No I never wanted nothin' more..

[Chorus]
Well I'm what I am and I'm what I'm not
I'm sure happy with what I've got
I live to love and laugh a lot
And thats all I need

My buddies all tried to change my mind
But I told them that I'd thought it through
Katie laughed and my mama cried when they heard me say "I do"
Her little ring is a little thing, but its all I could afford
Now she's mine, all mine till the day I die, and I never wanted nothin' more

[Chorus]

One Sunday I listened to the preacher and I knew he was preaching to me
I couldn't help it I walked up front and I got down on my knees
Right then and there, I swear I changed when I found the Lord
Glory Hallelujah, good God almighty I never wanted nothin' more

[Chorus]

Never wanted nothin' more...
And I never wanted nothin' more

"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems"

"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems"

I've been up to my neck workin' 6 days a week
wearin' holes in the soles of the shoes on my feet
been dreamin' of gettin' away since I don't know
Ain't no better time than now..for mexico

No shoes, No shirt, No problems
Blues what blues..hey I forgot them
The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom
and no shoes, no shirt, and no problems!
No problems

Want a towel on a chair in the sand by the sea
want to look thru my shades and see you there with me
Want to soak up life for a while
In laid back mode
No boss, no clock, no stress, no dress code

No shoes, no shirt, no problems
Blues what blues hey I forgot them
The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom
and no shoes, no shirt, and no problems

Babe lets get packed..tank tops and flip flops if you got them
No shoes, no shirt, no problems
No problems.

"No Small Miracle"

"No Small Miracle"

In a little town down south
There's a little clapboard house
With a wolf outside the door
In the bedroom there's a light
That's been staying on all night
For atleast a month or more
The heartaches and the bills keep coming due
And with all they're going through....

It's no small miracle that love hangs on
Hearts get weary when hope is gone
In a world where roses wither and die
It's no small miracle when love survives

It's been uphill for a while
But he still makes her smile
Every now and then
Lately they've been findin' out
It's the little things that count
And they do what they can
He tells her he loves her everyday
She says things will be okay

It's no small miracle that love hangs on
Hearts get weary when hope is gone
In a world where roses wither and die
It's no small miracle when love survives

In a world where roses wither and die
It's no small miracle when love survives

"Nowhere To Go, Nowhere To Be"

"Nowhere To Go, Nowhere To Be"

Like an empty bottle washed up by the waves,
Like an old schooner slippin' slowly to it's grave,
Like ghosts of old sailors caught somewhere in time,
Like a lone palm watch the world unwind...

Nowhere to go and nowhere to be,
"Trinidad Charlie" on a stool next to me,
Readin' his book bout the "have" and "have-nots,"
In between chapters we take another shot.
And one by one we slide from reality,
With nowhere to go, and no where to be...

There's jerk chicken grillin' on the grill.
Sure feels good for some time to be still.
Even if its only for a little while.
Sight of the sails in the wind makes me smile.

Days turn into night,
When you're stuck in still life.

And you got nowhere to go and nowhere to be,
"Trinidad Charlie" on a stool next to me,
Readin' his book bout the "have" and "have-nots,"
In between chapters we take another shot.
And one by one we slide from reality,
With nowhere to go, and no where to be...

"Old Bird Dog"

"Old Bird Dog"

Sometimes I'm mad at the world
Mad at this town
Mad 'cause I can't lose the same five pounds
That I've been tryin' to lose for three or four years now.

Sometimes I feel like a truck that just won't run
On the side of the road in the July sun
There ain't another car for miles
That I can thumb down.

I guess every now and then
You're going to land on a bad day
Though I still do
I know I can't complain.

'Cause I love what I do
Love where I'm at
The stage, my band, and my old black hat
My big wool blanket
Sleepin' in my cowboy boots
I love my old bird dog
I like to watch him run
My red guitar I bang around on some
And I love lovin' you
Baby, I love lovin' you.

Now heaven to me it's a simple thing
It's just you and me
And a phone that don't ring
Popcorn poppin' on a lay around Friday night.

Seein' you smile when I wake up
The way you slide to the middle of my pick up truck
The way you say baby, it's all gonna be all right
When I walk in at the end of a worn out day
And I see you baby, how can I complain.

'Cause I love what I do
Love where I'm at
The stage, my band, and my old black hat
My big wool blanket
Sleepin' in my cowboy boots
I love my old bird dog
I like to watch him run
My red guitar I bang around on some
And I love lovin' you
Baby, I love lovin' you
Yes, I do.

Well, I love where I've been
I don't look back
I thank God for the life he lets me have
My big wool blanket
Sleepin' in my cowboy boots
I love my old bird dog
I like to watch him run
My red guitar I bang around on some
And I love loving you
Baby, I love lovin' you.

Baby, I love
Oh yes I do.
Love lovin' you.

I love my old bird dog
I like to watch him run.

Lovin' you...

"Old Blue Chair"

"Old Blue Chair"

There's a blue rocking chair
Sitting in the sand
Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands
It sways back and forth with the help of the winds,
Seems to always be there,like an old trusted friend

I've read a lot of books,
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's going, where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus windshield, but nothing compares
To the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it when I sit in that old blue chair

From that chair I've caught a few fish and some rays
And I've watched boats sail in and out of Cinnamon Bay
I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart
I prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start

I've read a lot of books,
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's going, where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus windshield, but nothing compares
To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it,
to the way that I see it when I sit in
that old blue chair

That chair was my bed one New Year's Night
When I passed out from too much Cruzan and Diet
And woke up to a hundred mosquito bites,
I swear got 'em all sitting right there
In that old blue chair

There's a blue rocking chair
Sittin' in the sand
Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands

"On The Coast Of Somewhere Beautiful"

"On The Coast Of Somewhere Beautiful"

Knew I could never hold that girl
She was born to see the world
All I got is a picture she mailed me
Barefoot in the snow white sand
A bag of sea shells in her hand
She finally found a paradise it seems

On the coast of somewhere beautiful
Trade winds blowin through her hair
Sunlight dancin on the water
And I wish I was there
Don't know how I'm goin' to find her
All I know so far
She's on the coast of somewhere beautiful
Runnin' with my heart

Sometimes whne the sun goes down
Shadows fall across this little town
And I close my eyes and I drift away
to another place in another time
When the world was ours and she was mine
I dream of holdin her again someday

On the coast of somewhere beautiful
Trade winds blowin through her hair
Sunlight dancin on the water
And I wish I was there
Dont know how I'm gonna find her
All I know so far
Shes on a coast somewhere beautiful
Runnin with my heart

Dont know how I'm goin to find her
All i know so far
Shes on the coast of somewhere beautiful
Runnin with my heart
Ohh Shes runnin with my heart
On the coast of somewhere beautiful

"One Step Up"

"One Step Up"

Woke up this mornin'
The house was cold
Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't a turnin'
Given each other some hard lessons lately
But we aren't learnin'
Same sad story thats a fact
Once step up and two steps back

Bird on a wire outside my motel room but he ain't singin'
Girl in white outside a church in june
but the church bells they ain't ringin'
Sittin' here in this bar tonight
and all I'm thinkin' is
How the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps back

Its the same thing night all night
Who's wrong and baby who's right
Another fight and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I don't see the man I wanted to be
somewhere along the line I slipped off track
livin' one step up and two steps back

There's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sendin'
Mmm she ain't lookin' too married
We well honey I pretended
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
the music was never endin '
we danced as the evening sky faded to black
movin' one step up and two steps up
(one step up and two steps back)
one step up and two steps back
(one step up and two steps back)
One step up and two steps back
(one step up and two steps back)
one step up and two steps back

ohhh..baby we're movin'

One step up and two steps back
One step up and two steps back
One step up and two steps back
mmm..one step up and two steps back
(one step up and two steps back)
(one step up and two steps back)

"Only Time Will Tell"

"Only Time Will Tell"

Everybody says, it's going to take a little time
Might as well get used to her running through my mind
Her memory brought me to my knees when will I be back up walking
Only time will tell but it ain't talking

Lot of sleepless nights I'm sure are lying up ahead
Wondering when the night will come when I lay down in bed
And her memory finally decides to stop calling
Only time will tell but it ain't talking

Only time will tell when I will finally be free
But so far it hasn't spoken a single word to me
Wonder when the pain will end and all the tears will stop falling
Only time will tell, but it ain't talking

Only time will tell when I will finally be free
But so far it hasn't spoken a single word to me
Wonder when the pain will end and all the tears will stop falling
Only time will tell, but it ain't talking

Only time will tell, but it ain't talking

"Out Last Night"

"Out Last Night"

We went out last night
Like we swore we wouldn't do
Drank too much beer last night
A lot more than we wanted to

There were girls from Argentina and Arkansas
Maine, Alabama and Panama
All mixed together and having a ball

Yeah, we went went out last night
One thing started leading to another
Out last night
Hittin' on everybody and their mother

There were two karaoke girls drunk on a dare
Singing "I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher
Yeah, life was good everywhere
We went out last night

Well you know I'm a music man
I grew up in east Tennessee
Last night I was everything
When I got a few drinks in me

I was a doctor, a lawyer, a senator's son
Brad Pitt's brother and a man on the run
Anything I thought would get the job done

Yeah, we went out last night
One thing started leading to another
Out last night
Hittin' on everybody and their mother

There were people doing body shots up on the bar
Jimmy in a fist fight out by the car
Everybody was some kind of star
When we went out last night

Well the fact that I'm still breathing
Means that I must have survived
And that I lived to go out with my friends again tonight

Oh, We went out last night
One thing started leading to another
Out last night
Everybody started loving on each other

They were dancing on the tables
And howling at the moon
Pairing off together and pretty soon
There was not a sole in sight
When we went out last night
