"All Wound Up"

"All Wound Up"



Since I was a baby maybe two or three
Ain't nothin' ever really bothered me
Some poeple rattle at the smallest thing
I thought I could handle anything
But I'm

All wound up nothin' I can do
I get all wound up
Just from talkin' to you
I used to believe I was Immune to love
But look at me now I'm all wound up

I never wondered what it's all about
Never saw a thing I couldn't do without
My feet are used to bein' on the ground
These days I wanna kick 'em around
Cause I'm

All wound up nothin' I can do
I get all wound up
Just from talkin' to you
I used to believe I was Immune to love
But look at me now I'm all wound up

All wound up
All wound up
All wound up

Fame and fortune I can take or leave
One touch from you and
I can barely breathe
Hung out and dryin' for the world to see
Well I've got you all over me and I'm

All wound up nothin' I can do
I get all wound up
Just from talkin' to you
I used to believe I was Immune to love
But look at me now I'm all wound up
I can't get over how I'm all wound up

"Angels We Have Heard On High"

"Angels We Have Heard On High"



Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angles sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, our newborn King
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo

Gloria (Angels we have heard on high)
Gloria (Sweetly singing o'er the plains)
Gloria (And the mountains in reply)
Gloria (Echoing their joyous strains)

"Another Mile"

"Another Mile"


I was sittin' at the station
Waiting for a sign
It was closed for renovation
You smiled as you walked by
You were a long time in coming
I've waited quite a while
Here we are rollin'
And we've gone another mile

[Chorus:]
Another mile
One more mile
We can make it down this road girl you and I
Love grows strong just hold on
And you'll find that we've gone another mile

This world moves in circles
Never one straight line
It keeps us all from seeing
What lies ahead to find
But I know when I get home
You're the reason why
I had to keep on goin'
Till I'd gone another mile

[Chorus x2]

And you'll find that we've gone
Yes you'll find that we've gone
Another mile

"Another Side"

"Another Side"



We came up from Sheffield
And they put us on the line
You could smell the powder burnin'
And man, it hurt my eyes
They knew them boys were tired and weak-
We were fresh and we were strong
We could not wait to blast away
And make our presence known
But every time I took my aim
And got one in my sight
In my heart I knew the way
And this way was not right

Oh, I guess my daddy would be proud
But my momma, she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Them Northern boys are friends of mine
But I've got my Southern pride
I'm standin' here a-fightin'
Wishin' there
Was another side

We burned each other's crops and fields
And took the very best
We fought our way back and forth
Then they put us to the test
I know that some things are wrong
But what gave them the right
To point their righteous fingers
And expect us not to fight?
We all cried on the night they burned Atlanta down
How much more can we take and still stand our ground?

Oh, I guess my daddy would be proud
But my momma, she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Them colored boys are friends of mine
But I've got my Southern pride
I'm standin' here a-fightin'
Wishin' there
Was another side

In four years the smoke had cleared
And I went back to the farm
Little brother met me at the bridge
And he held out his arms
He was thin and weak and wounded
And dressed in Yankee blue
Well, I cried and I held him
And together we both knew
If it could be done over
There would be a better way
Still one family, and one nation
Oh, but what a price we paid

I guess my daddy would be proud
But my momma, she's ashamed
And I know deep down we need a change
Now, some of them boys were friends of mine
But dang this Southern pride
I'm standin' here a-cryin'
Wishin' there
Was another side

I'm wishin' there was another side
Wishin' there was another side

"Another Trip To The Well"

"Another Trip To The Well"



She finds her self alone more and more these days
The man she loves is gone but the love ain't gone away
Like drawing water up from a well beneath the earth
She dips down in the love, she's known to wash away the hurt

And she keeps on goin' even when the heartache's growin' strong
There's a peace she's knowin' like a river flowin' on
It's been there all along and when the darkness fell
She made another trip to the well

She's worked real hard for love, she's earned her memories
She may be looking back but that ain't all she sees
She wears a cross around her neck to show what she believes
It's the love at heart not the love at hand that never ever leaves

And she keeps on goin' even when the heartache's growin' strong
There's a peace she's knowin' like a river flowin' on
It's been there all along and when the darkness fell
She made another trip to the well

And she keeps on goin' even when the heartache's growin' strong
There's a peace she's knowin' like a river flowin' on
It's been there all along and when the darkness fell
She made another trip to the well

"Axe To Grind"

"Axe To Grind"



They tried to lose us in the hype of fortune and fame
We've got them to thank and only us to blame
Now the joker is dealing 'cause the king went blind
We're stayin' out of the shuffle with an axe to grind
We're out of the shuffle with an axe to grind

I've got my jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunny
You can break my heart, but don't take my money
It's a long, long road and an uphill climb
Just leave me my guitar, I'll have an axe to grind
Leave me my guitar, I'll have an axe to grind

Something we're not is what plenty of us were
We've got houses and cars and people callin' us sir
I'd like to give it all up and leave it behind
And join a nameless bunch of pickers with an axe to grind
A nameless bunch of pickers with an axe to grind

I've got my jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunny
You can break my heart, but don't take my money
It's a long, long road and an uphill climb
Just leave me my guitar, I'll have an axe to grind
Leave me my guitar, I'll have an axe to grind

They say our songs are simple and a little too wordy
A little bit fast and a little too dirty
You don't make it down the track without any ties
But we've made it this far with just an axe to grind

I've got my jeans on tight and my shades when it's sunny
You can break my heart, but don't take my money
It's a long, long road and an uphill climb
Just leave me my guitar, I'll have an axe to grind
Leave me my guitar, I'll have an axe to grind

"Better Be Some Tears"

"Better Be Some Tears"


Some other fool with his head in the clouds
Might let you get away with what you done
But not me, Baby, not me
You fall out of love and now you’re comin’ around
Any time you want to get back on
We’ll see, Baby, we’ll see
I won’t be waitin’ here forever
Right now I’m tellin’ you

[Chorus:]
There better be some tears
I wanna see some cryin’
Now you do a little dying
To show me you’re sincere
There better be some tears
After the way you left me
Baby if you wanna get me
To let you come back here
There better be some tears

I don’t want to hear another feeble excuse
About how anyone can make a mistake
What’s new, Baby, tell me what’s new
You can tell me a lie or you can tell me the truth
It doesn’t really matter what you say
It’s what you do, Baby, it’s what you do
You say you want me more than ever
Why aren’t your eyes a little wetter

[Chorus]

I’m gonna wait until you start comin’ unwound
I wanna be there when the walls come a tumblin’ down
And if you really got a heart in there
Baby if you really care

[Chorus]

"Betty's Bein' Bad"

"Betty's Bein' Bad"



Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Betty and her boyfriend
They had a big fight
She found out
What everybody knew
Too many cooks spoil the stew
She don't care
What nobody thinks
She's gonna be bad
'til the whole town stinks

Betty's bein bad
Betty's bein bad
She's bein bad bad bad
She's out bein' bad
Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Betty and her boyfriend
They had a big fight

She went home when she found out
Said, "Pack your bags
I want you out"
Her boyfriend thought
She was talking jive
'til he saw her standing
With a .45
A .45's quicker than 409
Betty cleaned house
For the very last time

Betty's bein bad
Betty's bein bad
She's bein bad bad bad
She's out bein' bad
Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Betty and her boyfriend
They had a big fight

Now if you go out
And you see Betty
Don't scream and shout
Unless you are ready
You are ready to rock
Ready to roll
'til hell freezes over
And you catch a cold
Betty's not mad
She's just getting even
Betty's bein' bad
It's her way of leaving

"Between You And Paradise"

"Between You And Paradise"



It's bone dry and hot here in Paradise, Arkansas
Never seen cracks like the cracks in this dirt
It's Uncle Cliff on the phone, but I really think the Lord called
When he said, "Come on down, boy and I'll put you to work"
It hasn't been easy letting you go
But I think I'm finally on that road

'Cause there ain't no blue '92 Cavalier
There ain't no moonlight drive-in here
There are days you don't even cross my mind
There's no one here that I don't want to see
There's no one here that don't want to see me
I ain't found it yet, but I'm convinced there's a life
Somewhere between you and Paradise

I've been hanging around with a girl here in town
Every time I look, she's looking better
But I'm still not sure I can take your voice on the phone
So I wrote you this letter
It hasn't been easy letting you go
But I think I'm finally on that road

'Cause there ain't no blue '92 Cavalier
There ain't no moonlight drive-in here
There are days you don't even cross my mind
There's no one here that I don't want to see
There's no one here that don't want to see me
I ain't found it yet, but I'm convinced there's a life
Somewhere between you and Paradise

I'm not gonna apologize for the way I just disappeared
I couldn't bear another minute without you
Thank God I'm here

'Cause there ain't no blue '92 Cavalier
There ain't no moonlight drive-in here
There are days you don't even cross my mind
There's no one here that I don't want to see
There's no one here that don't want to see me
I ain't found it yet, but I'm convinced there's a life
Somewhere between you and Paradise

Somewhere between you and Paradise

"Big Picture"

"Big Picture"



It was my junior year
I believe it was in the fall
The first time I decided that I knew it all
I was moving right along
Thinkin' that I could do no wrong
I remember hearin' someone say
They told me

It's a big picture
Little man
It takes a while to understand
You don't always know where you're gonna fit in

When you get through winning the human race
Somebody's there to take your place
So live and love the best you can and remember
The big picture

I was twenty-one I remember back in the spring
The first time I could tell I didn't know a thing
The girl cut me to the bone
I was lookin' to wind up all alone
I remember hearing somebody say
They told me

It's a big picture
Little man
It takes a while to understand
You don't always know where you're gonna fit in
When you fall down running the human race
Somebody's there to save your face
So live and love the best you can and remember
The big picture

It cuts you down to size
And sometimes I need it
Right before your eyes
I can finally see

It's a big picture
Little man
It takes a while to understand
You don't always know where you're gonna fit in
You just keep on running the human race
Follow your heart and find your place
So live and love the best you can and remember
Oh live and love the best you can and remember
The big picture
It's a big picture
