"(This Thing Called) Wantin' And Havin' It All"

"(This Thing Called) Wantin' And Havin' It All"



Rich man grew old, owned a mansion on top of the hill
Now he's sitting at the table with his lawyer
Goin' over his will 'cause he's ill
The kids don't call, they're waitin' for the man to die
He's gonna leave 'em all a little somethin'
But they're gonna be real surprised

There's a poor man livin' on a budget at the bottom of that hill
With a wife and two kids and a worried mind
About how he's gonna pay the bills
Well, only the rich man knows, see
That's where a lot of his money goes
To the man that brought wood in the winter
To take a little weight off his shoulders

There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there, you're gonna have to walk
But first, you'll have to crawl
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
Called wantin' and havin' it all

Poor man has everything that the rich man don't
He's got love in his life and his heart
He's got a house he calls home
The rich man owns everything from miles around
But what he needs can't be bought, it has to be found

His rich kids think that they're better, 'cause they're better off
That's how they grew up thinkin' and now
He thinks it's all his fault
So while there's still time, the daddy that they nickel and dime
Is gonna make 'em learn to take a turn
And stand in line

There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
Called wantin' and havin' it all

See life's full of changes
And wantin' right now what you only see in your dreams
I know you don't like it and think
It's the strangest thing you've ever seen
Well, there ain't nothin' you can do about it

There's this thing called wantin' and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there, you're gonna have to walk
But first you'll have to crawl
And you know you've gotta do it step by step
Miss one and you'll fall into this well
Called wantin' and havin' it all

"800 Pound Jesus"

"800 Pound Jesus"


I saw a garage sale
Pulled up in the yard
Found a statue of Jesus
It was eight feet tall
He held out his arms
And he seemed all alone
So I loaded him up
And drove him home

Out by my driveway he
Looks down the street
With his long hair and sandals made
Of rebar and concrete
I painted him white with a long purple robe
He's a rock of ages on our gravel road

[Chorus:]
He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus
Standing taller than a tree
He's an eight-hundred pound Jesus
A bigger man than you or me

I thought loosin' my job was
The end of the world
Till my best pal ran off with my best girl
I felt suicidal with no real friends
So I walked outside with a rope in my hand

Out by that statue there's a big old tree
So I stood on his shoulders
And I counted to three
I had every intention of buying the farm
But when I jumped off he caught me in his arms

[Chorus]

I wanted to return the favor to him
Cause I never had a more solid friend
So I planted some flowers
All around his feet
And I bought him a flock
Of ceramic sheep

[Chorus]

He's a bigger man
Than you or me

"A Different Tune"

"A Different Tune"


I need a harder heart to take the place
Of this one you brake in two
Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune

Your trail is hot man it's still smokin'
You're gone for good baby I ain't dumb
I knew that you were tired of hearin'
The same ole song I sung
You packed up your magazine
The one that tells you what to do
I'm not the kind of man you need
To make your dreams come true

[Chorus:]
I need to find a faster car
To give you a little more room
I need a longer lariat
To lasso you the moon
I need a harder heart to take the place
Of this one you brake in two
Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune

Babe was I that ripe for the pickin'
You set your sights like a loaded gun
The bullet hit but it ain't stickin'
It's hard to shoot when your on the run
I'm the one you set your sights for
But not the one you're gonna keep
You go out running after midnight Walkin' in my sleep

[Chorus]

I need a harder heart to take the place
Of this one you brake in two
Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune

Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune

"A Love Like This"

"A Love Like This"


Who would have thought an innocent dance
Would leave two hearts with even half a chance
And who would have know after all this time
We would search and that we would find

[Chorus:]
In a town this big in a house this small
In a world so flat that there could exist
A love like that a love like this

So young so green so blue so bold
Who would have thought that
We would brake the mold
So afraid to fall and scared not to
If we had only known what our hearts knew

[Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

"A Mighty Big Broom"


Well come on and 'a run, run, run with me;
we gotta' lotta' stuff we gotta'do.
We got some spring cleaning,
that I been a meaning to get around to.
Come on and don't forget the big broom.

[Chorus:]
It takes a mighty big woman,
to work a mighty big broom.
And it takes a mighty big broom,
to sweep up this room.

Well come on and 'a run, run, run with me;
And don't forget to tie your shoes.
We got some spring cleaning,

"Ain't Goin' Out That Way"

"Ain't Goin' Out That Way"



Second floor, third door
On the right, just before
The broken down ice machine
Across the hall, through the wall
I can hear the party all night
I can't get no sleep
Pizza boxes stacked up
Jimmy's always jacked up
Been living on the couch all week

It's like I'm fading into nothing
Another ripple in the ocean
I just wanna feel something
Before I waste
One more day
I'm crying out but no one's hearing
No one can see me disappearing
Some people just live to die
And that's ok
But I ain't goin' out that way

Friday night they're getting high
Everybody's living life
One warm beer at a time
Dirty socks, X-Box
Jimmy's gone, change the locks
Before he gets back tonight
I ain't got a dime and
What have I been buying
This is where I draw the line

It's like I'm fading into nothing
Another ripple in the ocean
I just wanna feel something
Before I waste
One more day
I'm crying out but no one's hearing
No one can see me disappearing
Some people just live to die
And that's ok
But I ain't goin' out that way

It's like I'm fading into nothing
Another ripple in the ocean
I just wanna feel something
Before I waste
One more day
I'm crying out but no one's hearing
No one can see me disappearing
Some people just live to die
And that's ok
But I ain't goin' out that way

I ain't goin' out that way

"Ain't That Always The Way"

"Ain't That Always The Way"



Jeany loved Charlie with all of her might
But she missed the boy bad when he was working all night
Every day was the same but she wanted more
So Jeany took to leaving out of every door saying

Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
Don't always know where you're goin'
May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
But baby, ain't that always the way
Oh baby, ain't that always the way

Reverend Jim was a-preaching one night
He was a-layin' his hands a-just a little too tight
Folks didn't know that those streets made of gold
Were paved with their money
Jim headed down the road, singing

Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
Don't always know where you're goin'
May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
But baby, ain't that always the way
Oh baby, ain't that always the way

Tommy practiced hard just to play the guitar
Gonna make a million dollars, gonna be a big star
He fell in love with Betty and that all changed
He's happy playin' his guitar out on the front porch swing, singing

Sometimes the wheels just start rollin'
Don't always know where you're goin'
May not leave you with a whole lot to say, yeah, yeah
But baby, ain't that always the way
Oh baby, ain't that always the way

"All I Want Is You"

"All I Want Is You"



It’s in the way you look at me
You must see something I don’t see
But I’m a man and I can say
I’d be half a man if you went away
Standing here by your side
What I feel when I look in your eyes

All I want is you
You’re the dream for me that just keeps coming true
Don’t you know you loving me is everything that I need
All I want is you
All I want is you

I even love the way you say my name
It’s the little things that make me feel this way
You make every day better and if I can
I want you to understand
Why you are my every need
Want you to know
With every breath that I breathe

All I want is you
You’re the dream for me that just keeps coming true
Don’t you know you loving me is everything that I need
All I want is
All I want and All I need
Me with you, you with me
Against the wind against the odds
Standing strong through it all

All I want is you
You’re the dream for me that just keeps coming true
Don’t you know you loving me is everything that I need
All I want is you
All I want is you

"All These Years"

"All These Years"



She likes adventure with security
And more than one man can provide
She planned adventure feeling sure that he
Would not be home 'til after five
He turned on the lights and turned them off again,
And said the one thing he could say

All these years
Where have I been
I've been down the road to work and home again
And I'm still here
Until I'm gone
And don't you rub it in too hard that I've been wrong
All these years

She said, "You're not the man you used to be"
And He said, "Neither is this guy"
She said, "There's some things you refuse to see...
But I guess sometimes so do I"
She made no excuse why she was lying there,
She said the one thing she could say

All these years
What have I done?
I made your supper and your daughter and your son
Still I'm here,
And still confused
But I can finally see how much I stand to lose
All these years...

I'm still here
And so confused
But I can finally see how much I stand to lose,
All these years.
