"Easy To Love You"

"Easy To Love You"


You were pure to me as fresh untraveled snow
Skin as soft as a petal, of an uncut rose
I gave you all I had
Everything I owned
Right down to the pedestal, I put you on
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away.

Well, this morning when I woke up
I knew everything had changed
But it ain't so simple for a man
Whose whole world he has to rearrange
Said you've found something in another
You just couldn't find in me
Baby I love you so much
But I guess I'll have to set you free
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away

I've been pleading with my maker
To ease this pain and take my pride
But it still feels like my heart's been laid open wide
My hands are shakin' as I think of all I have to do
My life will never be the same
Not like it was with you

[Instrumental]

Said you've found something in another
You just couldn't find in me
Well baby I love you so much
But I guess I'll have to set you free
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away

Lord, it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away...

"Ever Changing Woman"
(originally by Merle Haggard)



She can sparkle like the moonlight on the river,
At times her words can cut you like a knife,
She's got a way of being tough and tender,
But she'll always be the highlight of my life.

Sometimes she's hotter than the thirty-first of August,
And colder than a February morn,
But Heaven knows I'm always more than willing,
To hold that ever-changing woman in my arms.

There's days she almost loves me down to nothing,
Then turns around and hates my very soul,
So I always wear a T-shirt and a jacket,
Just in case that woman's running hot to cold.

Sometimes she's hotter than the thirty-first of August,
And colder than a February morn,
But Heaven knows I'm always more than willing,
To hold that ever-changing woman in my arms.

I've got that ever-changing woman in my arms.
I love that ever-changing woman in my arms.
I've got that

"Every Head Bowed"

"Every Head Bowed"


Sunday mornin' was a fight
I was runnun' from a clip-on tie
It took Daddy's belt to get me into my Sunday best
Lord's Supper would go on past
Cracker crumbs and a little shot glass
I was starvin' to death 'cause I didn't know Jesus yet
But I was saved by a month-old Twinkle in my corduroy coat
When every head bowed, every eye closed

Amazing Grace don't make a sound
Or Momma's gonna wear that backside out while shoutin' hallelujah
If you raised your hand or came on down
To repent of your sins there'd be little kid starin' a hole right through ya
But I wasn't no angel so I wasn't gonna throw no stones
When every head bowed, every eye closed

Pass the plate and altar call
Every verse of "I Surrender All"
Squirming in my seat tummy growlin' like a grizzly bear
We'd hit the door when the service closed
Hopped in the car, burned up on the road
Straight to KFC 'cause we're gonna beat the Catholics there
While they're still confessing we were blessing our mashed potatoes
With every head bowed, every eye closed

While Daddy says grace put that fork back down
Or Momma's gonna wear that backside out while shoutin' hallelujah
I could have sworn I lost 15 pounds
Lust for finger-lickin' greasy fried children burns a hole right through ya
While Daddy's still prayin' everybody's dinner's done got cold
With every head bowed, every eye closed

Well God never struck me down
Guess he thought it was a pretty good show
With every head bowed, every eye closed
Every head bowed, every eye closed

"Everything That I Own (Has Got A Dent)"

"Everything That I Own (Has Got A Dent)"


I drive around with the trunk tied down with a bungee cord
'Cause I hopped a curb, backed into her new boyfriend's Ford
And down the hall there's a hole in the wall that's hard to miss
It's about the size and shape of my right busted fist

Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn, banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different
Everything that I own has got a dent

She used to say I'm a man who's way too hard on stuff
And she let me know that that also goes for our love
I guess her heart's like that old dead goldfish I forgot to feed
And mine's like that dirt bike I wrapped around a tree

Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn, banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different
Everything that I own has got a dent

In the side, a hole in the back
A big piece of junk, ready for the trash
Better days gone, heart just keeps on beating away

Everything I own has got a dent
It's cracked or scratched, ripped or torn, banged up or slightly bent
Why should my heart be any different
Everything that I own, can't find one thing that don't
Everything that I own has got a dent

Oh, A big ol' dent

"Everywhere We Go"

"Everywhere We Go"


They took Your commandments off the schoolhouse walls
They say it's a crime to even pray within the halls
But bless the child that lets You in and knows without a doubt
Once You live inside a heart, they can't take You out

We are soldiers of the cross
We've been found to reach the lost
In cityy streets, down country roads
We take You with us everyday, and everywhere we go

Here's to those across the land, working in a place
Where the boss man and the government say they can't share their faith
They know all too well they'll lose their job if they get caught
But to win a soul for Jesus, they will risk it all because

We are soldiers of the cross
We've been found to reach the lost
In city streets, down country roads
We take You with us everyday, and everywhere we go

In the God of all creation, we put our faith and trust
And give our lives to You 'cause You gave Your life for us

We are soldiers of the cross
We've been found to reach the lost
In cityy streets, down country roads
We take You with us everyday, and everywhere we go

Everywhere we go

"Faith In You"

"Faith In You"


I don't have faith in technology
Even though we created it
All this stuff just breaks down anyway
And you can never get it fixed
But I do have faith in you

I don't have faith in politics
But I do believe in the will of the people
I don't know much about big time religion
But I believe in the cross on the steeple
And I do have faith in you

And after all this time
The lie becomes the truth
We traded in our innocence and sacrificed our youth
But you give your love
The one thing I can't lose
You believe in me
And I still have faith in you

The more I search for my significance
Seems the more I disappear
And I wonder have I made a difference
In any body's life since I've been here
I can hear your laughter
It's the sweetest sound I've ever known
I don't know how love happens
But I know I'm not alone
And I do have faith in you

And after all this time
Sometimes I see the truth
But I'm touched by your innocence
And now I'm not confused
But you give your love
The one thing I can't lose
You believe in me
And I still have faith in you

I do have faith in you...

"Farther Along"

"Farther Along"


Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should take us all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

When we see Jesus coming in glory
When He comes down from His home in the sky
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all by and by

Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
And we'll understand it all by and by
We'll understand it all by and by

"Feet On The Rock"

"Feet On The Rock"


[Spoken]
Well, I wanna talk to you for a minute
About an old man I met
He said, Boy, you look in trouble
And I bet your life's a mess
He said, I used to have the same problem too
I was way out of control
You know the only thing that set it right for me
Was a little good old rock and roll.

[Chorus: (Sang)]
I put my feet on the rock
And my name on the roll
When it's called up yonder
I won't worry 'bout my soul
I know my home is waiting
And it's something to behold
I put my feet on the rock
And my name on the roll.

I'd never heard the gosple
Spread like that before
I guess the message comes in many ways
Those simple words of wisdom
Can open heaven's door
So every time I get the chance I say.

[Chorus:]
Come on, put your feet on the rock
And your name on the roll
When it's called up yonder
You won't worry 'bout your soul
You know your home is waiting
And it's something to behold
So put your feet on the rock
And your name on the roll.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
Come on, put your feet on the rock
And your name on the roll
When it's called up yonder
You won't worry 'bout your soul
Well, You know your home is waiting
And it's something to behold
So put your feet on the rock
And your name on the roll.

[Chorus:]
Come on, put your feet on the rock
And your name on the roll
When it's called up yonder
You won't worry 'bout your soul
You know your home is waiting
And it's something to behold
So put your feet on the rock
And your name on the roll.

Now, put your feet on the rock
And your name on the roll...

"For The Good Times"
(originally by Ray Price)

"For The Good Times"
(originally by Ray Price)



Don't look so sad I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times

I'll get along you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time for the good times

"Forever And Ever, Amen"

"Forever And Ever, Amen"


You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love, that I feel for you, always will be

You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die – oh, baby

I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, amen

They say that time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girls brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway

They say that time can play tricks on a memory,
make people forget things they knew.
well, it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you – oh, darling

I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
well, just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, amen
I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, forever and ever, forever and ever, amen
