"That Ol' Door"

"That Ol' Door"


We moved into a house in Tennessee
From the California desert where we did not wanna be
Where the grass was high and the rivers green the sky was always blue
It was 1982 the world was still brand new

Oh the front door to that house was very strong
As long as we were living there I knew nothing could go wrong
So we had our kids we made our lives work out the best we could
Behind that ol' piece of wood in a world we understood

That ol' door was always open that ol' door was never closed
That ol' door was our protection when the need arose
That ol' door was ever faithful that ol' door was ever strong
That ol' door was there to open up and welcome me back home
Welcome me back home

We never knew how good we get it there
So we went right on living like we didn't have a care
And when the only thing that mattered didn't matter after all
And the writin' on the wall said we're headed for a fall

That ol' door was always open that ol' door was standing guard
That ol' door was there to witness when the times were hard
That ol' door was ever faithful that ol' door was in our bones
That ol' door was there to open up and welcome me back home

Sometimes when the leaves blow down the track
Something deep inside of me bring all those mem'ries back
And that door comes round to haunt me with those chiseled marks that show
Just how much a kid can grow in a world still moving slow

That ol' door was always open that ol' door was standing guard
That ol' door was there to witness when the times were hard
That ol' door was ever faithful that ol' door was in our bones
That ol' door was there to open up and welcome me back home

We moved into a house in Tennessee
From the California desert where we did not wanna be
Where the grass was high and the rivers green the sky was always blue
It was 1982 the world was still brand new

"The Answer Is Yes"

"The Answer Is Yes"


If you want to satisfy me
All the lines are open
If you want to ratify me
Yeah that's what I've been hoping
If you want to look your best
And you need that little bitty pretty dress

I want you to know
The answer is yes
The answer is yes indeed

Now if you want a piece of my mind
You've got my attention
If you want a week of my time
You've only to make mention
If you want some tenderness
Or maybe just a little rest

I want you to know
The answer is yes
The answer is yes indeed

Rake me over with a fine tooth comb
You can audit my past
But if you want a man who has a love that strong
You have only to ask

Now if you want to be by yourself
Darling that's just right by me
If want somebody else (somebody else)
I guess I'll have to set you free
I only want your happiness
So anytime you're feeling less

I want you to know
The answer is yes
The answer is yes indeed (yes indeed)

Rake me over with a fine tooth comb
Poke around in my past
But if you want a man who has a love that strong
You have only to ask

Now I could think of a million ways
To give you my affection
If you only want some place to stay
I'll give my protection
Anytime you're in a mess
Hey I want you to be my guest

I want you to know
The answer is yes
The answer is yes
The answer is yes
The answer is yes
The answer is yes (the answer is yes)
The answer is yes
The answer is yes (the answer is yes)
The answer is yes

"The Ballad Of Possum Potez"

"The Ballad Of Possum Potez"


Dayton Texas rodeo Possum Potez stole the show
Way back in 1968 the night he rode ol' Pearly Gates
It was a spinning bucking ton of death and everybody held their breath
Possum rode him to a draw it was the best bull ride I ever saw

Possum Possum where are you no one rides bulls like you used to
They haul you off in the ambulance and you show up later at the victory dance
Possum Possum get back home we ain't had no fun since you've been gone
With your two pack habit and a six pack buzz you're the best that there ever was
You're the best that there ever was

Two lone black top highway flyin' that's ol' possum I ain't lyin'
Eight track tape deck Blasting Jones Ernest Tubb and The Rolling Stones
In the beer joints and down by the bucking shoots
The cowgirls swore that he was so cute
They just love the way that he cocked his hat Possum had it all down pat

Possum Possum where are you no one rides bulls like you used to
They haul you off in the ambulance and you show up later at the victory dance
Possum Possum get back home we ain't had no fun since you've been gone
With your two pack habit and a six pack buzz you're the best that there ever was
You're the best that there ever was

Ah rainbow cafe all jokes aside the day ol' Possum like to died
Some sweet thing flashed him a blue eyed grin made ol' Possum's style kick in
A jealous cowboy all drunk and wired pulled a pistol and a bullet fired
Blood was shed out in the parking lot but it was not Possum wound up shot

Possum Possum where are you no one rides bulls like you used to
They haul you off in the ambulance and you show up later at the victory dance
Possum Possum get back home we ain't had no fun since you've been gone
With your two pack habit and a six pack buzz you're the best that there ever was
You're the best that there ever was, you're the best that there ever was

I'll give you the best I can give you, baby
That's all I can give
We'll live it the best we can live it, baby
As long as we live

What kind of love never turns you down

What kind of love
Only this love that I have

I'll show you the best I can show you, baby
That's all I can show you
I'll know you the best I can know you, baby
As long as I know you

What kind of love runs through your heart with a pleasure so close to pain
What kind of love
Only this love that I have

This love I know is all I have (all I have)

"The Best Years Of Our Lives"

"The Best Years Of Our Lives"


When I was young and restless I wasted so much time
Halfway stoned and halfway out of my mind
Well I don't feel that much different though now I realize

These are the best years of our lives
These are the best years that we're living in

And I know that someday later we're gonna reach the end
Though time stacks up against us the fire inside still thrives

These are the best years of our lives
These are the best years that we're living through

Then I know that someday later you're gonna know that too
There's so much more to living now than the kind of car we drive

These are the best years of our live
These are the best years of our live

"The Faith Is Mine"

"The Faith Is Mine"


There's no feelin' no better than this
There's no mountain so high I can't climb
There's no shortage of comfort and bliss
There's no reason to burn holes in my mind

I'm doin' fine
The faith is mine now

I've seen my troubles smokin' down on the tracks
My nose all bloodied, taste of salt in my tears
I've spent my money but it's all comin' back
The water's muddied but it's drowning my fears

I'm doin' fine
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go

I've seen my future in the back on my heart
Don't know the ending but I know where to start
My past is healin', it's alarmin' the pace
This time tomorrow it could all be erased

I'm doin' fine
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go

The faith is mine
But I'm still doin' time keepin' up my guard
The faith is real
Though sometimes I feel like I work too hard
The faith is mine, yeah, the faith is mine

The faith is mine
But I'm still doin' time, it's a life long task
The faith is strong, I keep hangin' on
'Coz I know that I've only to ask
The faith is mine, yeah, the faith is mine

There's no feeling no better I know
The skies are cloudy but the sun's gonna show
My arms are open and I got my feet on the sand
Angel of mercy take a hold of my hand

I'm doin' fine
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go

The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go

The faith is mine
Yeah, the faith is mine
The faith is mine
The faith is mine

"The Flyboy & The Kid"

"The Flyboy & The Kid"


May the wind be at your back
And the world sit at your feet
May you waltz across Wyoming
With a rose clutched in your teeth
May the answers to your questions
Fall like raindrops right on queue
May you set up shop in Heaven
'Fore the Devil knows you're due

Ooh, here's to love
Here's to life
All the fair and tender ladies
And the plain dirt farmer's wife
Yeah, here's to you
Here's to me
Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy
And the kid from Tennessee

May your nights be filled with laughter
And your days with honest work
May you wake up smelling roses
When you're facedown in the dirt
If you had the sense to come in
When the storm clouds start to grow
You wouldn't be my right hand
And the best friend that I know

Ooh, here's to life
Here's to love
When your heart beats like a lion
And your shoes fit like a glove
Yeah, here's to you
Here's to me
Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy
And the kid from Tennessee

May you always stay in touch with the things
That keep you young
When you're staring at injustice
May you never bite your tongue
May the bear tracks in your future
Find you downwind in a glade
Where the grass as green as absinthe
Comes in forty different shades

Ooh, here's to love
Here's to life
All the fair and tender ladies
And the old fishmonger's wife
Yeah, here's to you
Here's to me
Some ol' mad dog mountain flyboy
And the kid from Tennessee

Yeah, set 'em up, drinks for free
It's the mad dog mountain flyboy
And the kid from Tennessee

"The Ladder Of Love"

"The Ladder Of Love"


I'm tired of running I'm tired of hiding
I'm sick of keeping this thing inside
I'm gonna let it all go on the ladder of love
I'm going up ain't coming down
I'm gettin' off of this merry-go-round
I'm giving up the battle on the ladder of love

Well I ain't gonna worry bout tomorrow right now
I'm climbing that ladder of love somehow
I'm gonna find my way it's gonna be okay
I don't need a doctor tellin' me how I feel
Don't need a lawyer to get a better deal
There ain't nobody out to get you on the ladder of love

Well I ain't gonna worry bout tomorrow no more
I'm climbing that ladder up to heaven's door
I'm gonna walk right in and tell 'em how I've been
I'm tired of running I'm tired of hiding
I'm sick of keeping this thing inside
I'm gonna let it unravel on the ladder of love
I'm giving up the battle on the ladder of love

"The Last Waltz"

"The Last Waltz"


Sometimes there's heartaches and teardrops will fall
Good years and bad years, we live through it all
There's no easy answer to the trouble I see
But I'm happy just knowin', you're saving the last waltz for me

Sometimes it's diamonds and sometimes it's dirt
Sometimes it's magic and sometimes it's work
There's no easy answer to the trouble I see
But I'm happy just knowin', your saving the last waltz for me

Someday we're gonna sail away
Somehow we're gonna fly
Someway we'll see the light of day
Shine on high

After the harvest when winter is near
The last fiddle playin' is all I can hear
There's no easy answer to the trouble I see
But I'm happy just knowin', you're saving the last waltz for me
There's no easy answer to the trouble I see
But I'm happy just knowin', you're saving the last waltz for me

Someday, someway...

"The Long Journey Home"

"The Long Journey Home"


We ran off chasing rainbows
'Neath the blue Montana sky
And we self-proclaimed our freedom with a roar
We crossed those raging rivers
And we drank the taverns dry
And we bowed our heads to legends
Gone before

Are you ready for the long journey home?
The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones
The simple life tastes sweeter now
You have no need to roam
Are you ready for the long journey home?

The wind down off the Yellowstone
Blows coal trains off their tracks
And the water springs eternal from the fire

An eagle flies at sunrise
'Cross an aspen grove and back
And the moonlight brings a blue coyote choir

Are you ready for the long journey home?
The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones
The simple life tastes sweeter now
You have no need to roam
Are you ready for the long journey home?

In dreams of mile-high cotton fields
We once ran barefoot through
My dead drunk Uncle Fireball growls these words

"Blood don't make you family, Boy
And I've got news for you
Rattlesnakes don't sing like speckled birds"

Are you ready for the long journey home?
The flatlands, swamps and bayous in your bones
The simple life tastes sweeter now
You have no need to roam
Are you ready for the long journey home?
