"Whiskey"

"Whiskey"


Momma cried when you left me
Know she's always loved you so
She said "hey fool what the hell did you do?"
I said "mom I swear to God I just don't know"
Picture book sittin on the table
Memories stacked up through the years
But tonight there ain't no pictures on them pages
Cuz your kinda girl, never gonna come back home again

Yeah tonight all the dancehalls are empty
No young lovers on the floor
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
Drink it 'till I just can't drink no more

And I don't know why you had to leave me,
And all I really know is that you are gone, long gone
And everywhere I go I just feel lonely
You're the only life I've ever known
I guess you heard the highway calling
Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast
I had to fight the urge to follow
I guess some time away from me
is all you've ever really needed most

And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty
And I don't think I can take it anymore
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
And drink it 'till I just can't drink no more

A Late night phone call from the east coast
Well she said she'd had enough
She's comin' on back home
Well she went out there
Got a little crazy for awhile
If she leaves right now
Maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn

And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty
Tomorrow will be like it was before
So I'll put away my whiskey
Guess I just don't need it anymore
Yeah I'll put away my whiskey
Guess I just don't need it anymore
no no no, no no no

"Who's To Say"

"Who's To Say"


I don't wear my shirt tucked in
I like a little barbecue on Sunday
Well, I hang with a rougher crowd
Who drink too much, who talk too loud
Don't you know that it's all right with me
Yeah, I don't go to church too much, but I know that Jesus truly loves me
And if he was here I'd be drinking beer and
Hanging out and saving all of my friends, Amen

Who's to say and who are you to judge me anyway
This is my road, I take the corner as fast as I can go
Who's to say at how I got so lucky anyway
I am my own at least until the Man come and take me home

Well, I got my mama's features and my daddy's fixtures
All day long I been looking at pictures wondering
how in the hell they came up with me
Well, I'm crazy as a loon, I'm howling at the moon
My baby she don't know what to do
She's wondering how in the hell she's going to stay with me
Well, she's been church more than Billy Graham
And she knows the Bible like the back of her hand
Yeah, but she drinks gin like it's going out of style
Oh, it makes me smile

Yeah, who's to say and who are you to judge her anyway
This whole world spins, never gonna take that chance again
Yeah, who's to say at how we got so lucky anyway
We have a home, neither one of us will ever be alone
It's a lesson of survival
To ride out every trial
It's the secret of forgiveness
Way down deep inside

Who's to say and who are you to judge me anyway
This is my road, I take the corner as fast as I can go
Yeah, who's to say as how I got so lucky anyway
I am my own at least until the angels come,
angels gonna come and take me home

"Winter Wonderland"

"Winter Wonderland"


Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
And here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job when you're in town

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with that ol' snowman
Until the other kids knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

Beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking, walking

"Won't Let Love"

"Won't Let Love"


It's just you and me and a voice on the radio
It keeps telling you and me
Should have turned around hours ago
Just two innocent bystanders
Victimized by the night
That'll be our alibi in the morning light

So come on in
and hold on
Don't you tell me that it's wrong
Its ok, it's all right
It's just you and me tonight
That's all right, that's ok
We won't let love get in our way

The boulevard is on fire tonight
Engulfed by the flames of burning street lights
Look at those two fools on the corner
they got that look in their eyes
I wonder if it's real or just a brilliant disguise

So come on in
and hold on
Don't you tell me that it's wrong
Its ok, it's all right
It's just you and me tonight
That's all right, that's ok
We won't let love get in our way

Just two innocent bystanders
Victimized by the night

That'll be our alibi in the morning light

So come on in
and hold on
Don't you tell me that it's wrong
Its ok, it's all right
It's just you and me tonight
That's all right, that's ok
We won't let love get in our way

"Wrapped"

"Wrapped"


Might stand out in the wind out on Mustang Island
Might stay up all night hanging out with Hank Williams and crying
I've slept out on the sand so many nights that I can't remember
Yeah, but love is love and life is hard and one undoes the other
Summer gold or winter blue

Wherever I am
Whatever I do
Wrapped in you

Might find me in Paris, France someday soon
Might drive this Malibu all the way to China
Never can tell what I'll do
I'm busted and shot clean through

Wherever I am
Whatever I do
Wrapped in you

Held you once through April and summer set you free
Now the cold, cold nights are coming
And I've lost everything
And I've never been to Paris, France
Never even seen Mustang Island
Old Hank was gone before I was born
I'm not the kind to stay up crying
We never go far, but here's the truth

Wherever I am
Whatever I do
Well, I'm busted and shot clean through
Whatever you want is what I'll do
I'm wrapped in you
Wrapped in you
Wrapped in you

"Wrong Side Of Town"

"Wrong Side Of Town"


So tell me a story
about something pretty
A gaurdian angel
up in the sky
Make me believe
in the hill for a climber
Ask me no questions
and I'll tell you no lies

I'm hangin on
mouth hangin open
World spinning faster
round and around
Hey whats the matter
Look unexpected
You took a right turn.. on the wrong side of town

You with the light on
lookin so hopeful
Your just pretending
you know what you've done

Cryin your heart out
but nobody's lookin
Its not gettin better
not having fun

I'm hangin on
mouth hangin open
World spinning
faster round and around
Hey whats the matter
Look unexpected
You took a right turn on the wrong side of town

Jesus was wrong
about all the sinners
He'd take a stump for
the sign of the time
Running for shelter
like nobody's business
You don't even notice
the face of the sky
So many answers
just booze talk and whispers
Pick up the pieces
and gobble them down
Don't talk in words
so I won't understand you
Just hold up your finger
and cry like a girl

I'm hangin on
mouth hangin open
world spinnin faster
round and around
Hey what's the matter
You look unexpected
You took a right turn on the wrong side of town

"You Gotta Know"

"You Gotta Know"


I got a sister out in Charlotte
I love her cause she's crazy in her head
I got a brother he's a pilot
Sometimes I pray I'll just see him again
My daddy told me once he said son
Only a fool stays out at night
Well it's 4 a.m. and I'm out here on the avenue
I got no money but you know I'm doin' alright

Yeah, you gotta know
There ain't nothin' bout money
That's ever gonna save your soul.
And the dreams of the young
Ain't never been nothing
But the last request of the old.
Heaven is a fiddle on a weeknight radio.
You can't find redemption,
Brother if ya got no soul.
You Gotta Know.

Her name was Amy, she was a friend of mine
Wanted to be a rich man's wife
She fell in love with cars and expensive wine
She must have forgot what it means to live your life

Yeah, you gotta know
There ain't nothin' bout money
That's ever gonna save your soul.
And the dreams of the young
Ain't never been nothing
But the last request of the old.
Heaven is a fiddle on a weeknight radio.
You can't find redemption,
Brother if ya got no soul.
You Gotta Know.

Weathered hands on a steel guitar
He plays every evening till they turn them bar lights down
You know he's tired of them dammed old cigarettes
Now he's saving up his money so he can move on out of town

Yeah, you gotta know
There ain't nothin' bout money
That's ever gonna save your soul.
And the dreams of the young
Ain't never been nothing
But the last request of the old.
Heaven is a fiddle on a weeknight radio.
You can't find redemption,
Brother if ya got no soul.
You Gotta Know.
