"A Place To Hang My Heart"

"A Place To Hang My Heart"


I can see it in your eyes
I can tell you think that I'm
Just some troubled soul who's lost
Out all alone

But I know each step I take
Brings me closer to the day
I'll be walking on them shining
Streets of gold

Cause I'm just passing through
Wearing worn out gloves and shoes
But it matters not just what a man has on
This old flesh and blood of mine
Is will on borrowed time
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home

Mister I don't know your name
But I thank you for your change
God bless you son
You must have jesus in your life

A little help along the way
Never hurts too much these days
Even though I know in his hand
I'll be all right

Cause I'm just passing through
WEaring worn out gloves and shoes
But it matters not just what a man has on
This old flesh and blood of mine
Is will on borrowed time
It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home

It's just a place to hang my hat
Til' I go home

"Above All"

"Above All"


Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth.

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began.

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all.

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all.

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all.

Like the rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all.

"All Night Long"
(feat. Merle Haggard)

"All Night Long"
(feat. Merle Haggard)



Every Saturday long about now
I feed my chickens and my milking cows
Air's fillin' up with music ands ong
Gonna have a party all night long

[Chorus:]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long

[Instrumental]

I got a gal lives across the creek
Every time I look at her my knees get weak
First time I tried to take her on my knee
She took after me with a singletree

[Chorus:]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long

[Instrumental]

Sun's up high the Fourth of July
Chickens won't lay and the cow's gone dry
Creek's dried up, I can't go fishin'
Should be workin' 'stead of sittin' here wishin'

Big watermelon hangin' on the vine
Said "Keep Out" I couldn't read that sign
Gun went off and I started to run
Left that watermelon in the sun

[Chorus:]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long

[Instrumental]

Sun's comin' up, the rooster's crowin'
Fiddler's gone, I got to be goin'
Back to the house across the creek
But we'll be back at the end of the week

[Chorus:]
All night long, listen to the fiddle
Music's goin' strong
Heart's alive it's Saturday night
Gonna have a party all night long

Gonna have a party all night long...

"Allergic To The Blues"

"Allergic To The Blues"


Yes I hid your car keys, honey
Yes I hid your suitcase
And I'm the reason you can't find
Your makeup and your toothpaste
And I'll do anything it takes
To keep you here with me
Losing you's a sure way
To set off my allergies

[Chorus:]
I'm allergic to the blues
I get these teardrops in my eyes
You know I've always had a bad reaction to goodbyes
So 'till they find some injection
To calm that love rejection
All I've got to save me now is you
I'm allergic to the blues

It wont be five minutes
After you walk out that front door
'till I'll be fightin' for my breath and
Feelin' like I'm done for
Well they might find me froze to death
In our bed alone
Now do you really want that
On your conscience while your gone

[Chorus]

"Always On A Mountain (When I Fall)"
(originally by Merle Haggard)

"Always On A Mountain (When I Fall)"
(originally by Merle Haggard)



Most of my life I've almost been a winner
I've come so close but never really won
Just when I thought I’d finally made it
I find myself back where I started from

[Chorus:]
I hate to say I'm giving up but I believe
Losing's just become a way of life for me
Losing wouldn't be so bad at all
But I'm always on a mountain when I fall

Then you came along and had me had me believing
For once in my life my luck had finally changed
And now you say you're gonna leave me
Seems everything I do winds up the same

[Chorus]

Losing wouldn't be so bad at all
But I'm always on a mountain when I fall

"Amazing Grace"

"Amazing Grace"


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangerous toils, and snares
I have already come
T'is grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've known less days to sing God's grace
Than when we first begun...

"Angels"

"Angels"


Me and some of the boys were sitting around the other night
Started talking about politics, religion, love and life
And what a shame it was about 9/11
And what about hell and what about heaven
And is there or isn't there angels on earth
And then one guy said
Well you can take that for what it's worth
If it's something I can see or something I can touch
Well I might believe in all that stuff
So I just had to say to him

Are you telling me that you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white
No halo in site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes

And then I said who went through the pain
And smiled through the tears on the day of your birth?
She counted your fingers and toes and thank god you were whole
Son you outta know who loved you first, that's right
And who always came running everytime you cried out
And how many more things have you forgotten about
And who tried their best to teach you wrong from right
And how many nights did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed that you came in
And who'd be there for you right up to the end
Think about it tonight

Are you telling me that you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white
No halo in site
Well you missed the most obvious thing
Aww Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes

Aww Man, are you blind?
Just look in your mothers eyes
That's right

"Angels We Have Heard On High"

"Angels We Have Heard On High"


Angels we have on heard high
Sweetly singing ore the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

"Ants On A Log"

"Ants On A Log"


Ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Powerstearin wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

I got an uncle
He plays a game
Can't win it
He's got a mold
Tries to fit everybody else in it
When's he gonna learn he's bangin his head on the wall?
He ain't gonna change
And he looks at me strange when I tell him

We're all just ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Powerstearin wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

We all know people
We yella t the cars and the traffic
Folks in a hurry
Life's full of heartache and havok
I finally learned how to lay back and let life happen
I just image
the angels up in heaven
lookin down at us and laughin

At ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Powerstearin wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

And just about the time you think
You're rollin in clover
Along comes a rabbit
And the world tips over

Ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Power stear wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log

Yeah we're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
