"John Wayne And Jesus"

"John Wayne And Jesus"


I met John Wayne and Jesus when I was just a kid
They both had on their cowboy hats just like I'd pictured them
I stood up at the front of the class waving my American flag
I said the pledge, sang amber waves of grain

[Chorus:]
And(But) I sing all the songs of America
Danced in the rain in Lafayette
I'm still hanging out with John Wayne and Jesus
And I know this is good as life can get

Well, I had big time when I was down in Houston
Well, I fell in love and moved out to New Orleans
Well, she said so long, now I'm here all alone
She's still got a little bitty piece of me

[Chorus]

Well John Wayne and Jesus moved out to Hollywood
Workin' behind the scenes on MTV
Me I'm standing right down here in Texas
And I know that's where I was always meant to be

[Chorus]

"Just Fine"

"Just Fine"


Well, I was born down in San An-tone
And daddy leave us all alone
Big red rollin thunder on a Dallas bound highway home
Well mama got a job and she worked hard
She had two of us kids and a trashed out car
Yeah but me and my brother seemed to get along just fine
Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, I ain't goin no where
Everything gonna be just fine

Well, I turn on the TV on a Sunday afternoon
This preacher was screamin "Boy you're gonna meet your doom,
you go to all them honky tonks and drink that ice cold beer."
But I got me some friends and we're real tight
We stay up drinking and talking in the middle of the night
We talk about Jesus, man I'll tell you, he's one pretty cool dude

Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, I ain't goin no where
Everything gonna be just fine

Lately I've been toying with the notion
Of settin my wheels in motion
Just put me on the highway to see what I can see
Then you come in cryin, you were bitchin at me
You said, "Your baby or the highway; what's it gonna be?"
I said, "Well, maybe you don't get it. It's the nature of the
Business, I'm about to be movin on."

Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, drink another beer
Everything gonna be just fine

Yeah and you know the highway, just like a river keeps rollin on
You know it's my way, well I was born to sing this song
Have no fear, I ain't goin no where
Everything gonna be just fine

"Learn How To Live"

"Learn How To Live"


Everybody's talking 'bout how everybody's feeling
There's a change coming down
All the people in the street are moving to the beat of a brand new sound
But it's the same old theme
Love is all you need

We got to learn how to live
We got to learn how to live together
We got to learn how to give
That's the only way to stay together
Stay together
Sha la la...

Well I hear what your sayin' when your sayin' to me baby that maybe its time that I change my ways
But I'll always be the fool standin' out in the rain sayin' take me back please open your door
But it's the same old song
Baby, I know I was wrong

We got to learn how to live
We got to learn how to live together
We got to learn how to give
That's the only way to stay together
Stay together
Sha la la...

Getting closer every day
Just thinking about it makes me shake
I know I need you now

"Let Me"

"Let Me"


Keep your head there on my shoulder
Let's just lay here for awhile
We can hurry when we're older
And girl, don't worry about tomorrow
That just seems so far away
Love for me, me and you,
All that we have to do is follow
just follow

Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road where you've never been
oh, and baby then
You can let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night that will never end
I want to be that man
if you let me
C'mon, baby, let me

Baby, leave those candles burning
Slide on over here to me
If you run with me, girl
You know we'll make this world stop turning
just stop turning

Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road where you've never been
oh, and baby then
you can let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night that will never end
Well, I can be that man
if you let me
Oh, whoa

Let me be the one who sets your feet up on a road where you've never been
Yeah, and let me take these arms and wrap you up inside a night that will never end
I want to be that man
if you'd let me

"Long Way To Go (Headed Home)"

"Long Way To Go (Headed Home)"


You drink one for your memories
You drink one for yourself
You drink one for your family
Last time you saw them was a long time ago

I sing one for the children
You sing one for the miles
You sing one for them pretty green eyes
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go

And sing me to sleep sweet city
And let your highway be your lullaby
With nothing in my pocket
No fortune do I know
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go

Well you say a little prayer in the morning
You pray for those you left behind
Your heart starts to break as the sun goes down
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go

Sing me to sleep little darling
And do that little dance for me
Nothing in my pocket
No fortune do I know
I'm headed home mama - I got a long way to go

I will be there by the morning
And I don't know what makes me leave anyway, anyway, anyway

And God I miss you little darling
And save that little dance for me
With nothing in my pocket
No fortunes do I know
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go

It's good to be home
It's good to be home
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go

"Lost Without You"

"Lost Without You"


Pretty little thing
Where ya going with that
"I'm about to give up"
Look in your eyes
I just said what I felt
But I sure didn't mean
To make you cry
That's the thing about honesty
Sometimes it stinks
Sometimes it sets you free
Go on, be mad at me
Just don't leave
Cuz I'd still be lost, without you
I'd still be lost without you
Who would I be
Baby, I don't know where I'd go
Or what I'd do
Cuz I'd still be lost
I'd still be lost
Without you without you, without you
Days come and go
Time passes
Hard to remember
It's easy to forget
The velvet sky,
That kiss,
That first taste of
Your perfect lips
That's the thing about you and me
Sometimes we just disagree
But baby I just need
You to see
That I'd still be lost, without you
I'd still be lost without you
Who would I be
Baby, I don't know where I'd go
Or what I'd do
Cuz I'd still be lost
I'd still be lost
Without you, without you, without you
Without you, without you, without you
Cuz I'd still be lost, without you
I'd still be lost, without you
Who would I be
Baby, I don't know where I'd go
Or what I'd do
Cuz I'd still be lost
I'd still be lost
Without you without you, without you
Without you, without you, without you

"Louisiana Song"

"Louisiana Song"


I took me a river boat from Memphis and I rode to New Orleans.
Met up with a little cayenne mamma.
She said she'd like to be my Delta queen,
She said there's one thing I forgot to tell you,
Yeah there's one thing you should know.
She said my mamma was a voodoo princess and my heart beats black like coal,
Well she made up some black magic gumbo and some voodoo etoufe'
She said once you taste my cookin boy
It's gonna steal your heart away,
She said there's one more thing I forgot to tell you
Yeah there's one thing that you should know,
She said once you taste my baby's cookin',
It's gonna turn your heart black like coal.
Now she took me on a little walk down the bayou,
On a lovers rendevous.
She said take my hand little cajun man gonna do the thing lovers do,
now there's one thing I forgot to tell you,
yeah there's one thing you should know, she said ohh-oooh-oooh-oh ohhh mmmm-mmmm-mm-mm-mmmm,
Now this ain't hardly no story,
Yeah it's barely even worth the tell,
But you ramble around in a delta town,
You're sure to lose yourself,
And there's one thing I forgot to tell you, yeah there's one thing I forgot to tell you.
I said now don't you go messin' with no voodoo mamma,
She take you straight to hell.

"Love Had Something To Say"

"Love Had Something To Say"


You thought you had this thing licked
Hide under the covers when you answer the phone
Pretend you're sick
You built that wall around your heart so no one
Could get to it
You must have missed a spot somewhere baby
'Cause I walked right through it
Love had something to say about it
Wasn't gonna let you lay there and cry
Because baby I live just to dry your eyes
Thought you could live just fine without it
Tough out every heartache you hide
But love had something to say about it
Love had something to say about it
Nothing lives without water
You live without love so long
You think its how you oughta
Now that is the dumbest lie we ever tell ourselves

"Love Like That"

"Love Like That"


Check out those kids over there in the parking lot
They're probably drinking a lil beer and smoking pot
But I doubt they mean anyone any harm
Yeah thats old man Fredrick's daughter
Breakin every rule her daddy ever taught her
With that wild-eyed kid on the hood of that pick-up truck
But who are we to talk?
Didn't we walk that very same walk?
Not so many years ago
With a love like that
We were young and true
With a love like that
The fall of '92
You were my homecoming jacket to the homecoming football game
With a love like that
We crawled in the back
With a love like that
We moved way to fast
I hope nobody tells them that it ain't gonna last
'Cause there's a beauty in a love like that
Sure (both) are families yeah they had their doubts
There was money on whether we would work out
And to come to think of it we ain't ever been payed
I guess we are just like those kids
We could have listened but we never did
Sneaking out of the house just prayin
We wouldn't get caught
Remember those long walks
When you swore all we were gonna do was talk
Not so many years ago
With a love like that
You ain't ever alone
With a love like that
We built a home
With a front porch swing and a couple of kids in the yard
With a love like that
You never look back
With a love like that
I got the courage to ask
I hope nobody tells them it ain't gonna last
'Cause theres a beauty in a love like that
A love like that
A love like that
A love like that
A love like that
'Cause a love like that
It's built to last
With a love like that

"Lucky"

"Lucky"


I hope you get to be on a TV game show
And win a million dollars 'cause that's lucky
And I hope a bartender appears with a shot and a beer
Every time you holler 'cause that's lucky

And I hope you get to live in a big old crib
And a fancy neighborhood 'cause that's lucky
And you never have to fight for an invite
To the coolest parties out in Hollywood, oh that's lucky

Living beneath this red, white and big blue sky
With your job, your car, your family, your friends
The love of a girl that you know will never end

Yeah, you know what it's like to be lucky

Well, I hope you get the chance for a paparazzi romance
With a supermodel 'cause, yeah man that's lucky
And I hope you're getting chased first place full throttle
In a NASCAR race, oh that's lucky

But if you were just a regular guy
Living beneath this red, white and big blue sky
With your job, your car, your family, your friends
The love of a girl that you know will never end

Then you've already got it made every single day

Well, don't you feel lucky?

But if you're just a regular guy
Living beneath this red, white and big blue sky
With your hopes, your dreams, your faith and your prayers
Every breath you take, every moment you share

Then you've already got it made every single day
Yeah, you know what it's like
Yeah, brother you know what it's like to be lucky, yeah
To be lucky yeah, to be lucky yeah
