"Every Twist And Turn"

"Every Twist And Turn"



With every twist and turn we take
We'll get out in the passing lane
And we'll go on like two rolling stones
We live and learn with every twist and turn

Your mama and daddy didn't like me none
They didn't like my style
But I worked real hard and I got their respect
But it took a while

Gonna find us a preacher, gonna find you a ring
There's a rock or two on the road
Ain't never gonna think about turning around
No matter how heavy the load

With every twist and turn we take
We'll get out in the passing lane
And we'll go on like two rolling stones
We live and learn with every twist and turn

We're underpaid in overdrive, getting by
Working to find our way
Can't see around the bend, so till then
I bought us a Lotto ticket just in case

But win or lose, girl, I'm with you
This much I know for sure
We ain't getting lost wherever we go
'Cause you're my map of the world

With every twist and turn we take
We'll get out in the passing lane
And we'll go on like two rolling stones
We live and learn with every twist and turn

It's a long winding way
That's the way love goes, they say

With every twist and turn we take
We'll get out in the passing lane
And we'll go on like two rolling stones
We live and learn with every twist and turn

We live and learn with every twist and turn

"Eyes Of Love"

"Eyes Of Love"



The Rockafellers, we know we ain't
And this old house needs a coat of paint
Got a Chevy Impala vintage '73
Some days she can't outrun you or me
Well I know it ain't everything I promised you
But you tell me it's a matter of a point of view

Through the eyes of love
We see things in a different light
Through the eyes of love
It looks like things are gonna be all right

We've got a simple life
We don't go to extremes
But we're livin' on love, way above our means
Maybe some day our ship'll come in
Baby, till then, it's sink or swim
It's those little things that you do and say
Got a good ole boy in a real good way

Through the eyes of love
We see things in a different light
Through the eyes of love
It looks like things are gonna be all right

Through the eyes of love
We see things in a different light
Through the eyes of love
It looks like things are gonna be all right

"Falling Apart At The Heart"

"Falling Apart At The Heart"



I'm back on my feet, got it straight in my mind
Don't ask how I'm doing, I'm doing just fine
Now I got it all under control
If I acted much higher
Then you'd see I'm down so low

I keep fallin', fallin apart at the heart
Keeps me wonderin' when does the gettin' over you start
It's hard to let go when a part of me keeps holdin' on
I'm back to the start, fallin' apart at the heart

Now I've told some lies, said I'd be OK
But don't you believe me, nothing's really changed
I still wish that you were here
Tomorrow's so cloudy
Oh, but yesterday's too clear

I keep fallin', fallin apart at the heart
Keeps me wonderin' when does the gettin' over you start
It's hard to let go when a part of me keeps holdin' on
I'm back to the start, fallin' apart at the heart

"Farmer Tan"

"Farmer Tan"


There are tears in the eyes of the scarecrow
His head is sinking' low
He tends his fields with the best of them
Thinkin' love can make it grow
But when the landlord says it's over
And the harvest has turned cold
There ain't enough to pay the man
After the crops have been sold

[Chorus:]
Tell me what do we see when we look in the mirror
He don't see no money but he sees something clearer
There's a man doin' all that he can in the midst of no concern
He ain't in the sun tryin' to get his arms brown
He's tryin' to pull a livin' out of that old hard ground
These days a man and his dreams can get a little burned
Workin' on a farmer tan
Workin' on a farmer tan

The fruits of his labor, have dried up on the vine
He don't want for finer things, he's wanting to get by
There are fertile fields of compassion
We have yet to turn
We educate and we nominate but will we ever learn

[Chorus x2]

"Feel Like Me"

"Feel Like Me"



It’s rainin’ down on a lovers night
It’s hard to find a friend
But I’ll take a chance on
Takin’ a chance again
Oh I don’t like to play this game
And I wouldn’t if it’s right
And I hope you feel like me tonight

Feel like me, whoa
Feel like me
I hope you feel like me tonight
Feel like me, whoa
Feel like me
I hope you feel like me tonight

I’m not the one and only
It’ ain’t just what it seems
When it comes down to lonely
You’re a lot like me
When it come down to lovin’ you
I know it would be right
And I hope you feel like me tonight

Feel like me, whoa
Feel like me
I hope you feel like me tonight
Feel like me, whoa
Feel like me
I hope you feel like me tonight

Feel like me, whoa
Feel like me
I hope you feel like me tonight
Feel like me, whoa
Feel like me
I hope you feel like me tonight

"Field Hand"

"Field Hand"



I could not repay in one lifetime
All the love you gave me
You've become such a woman
Still you let me call you baby
I love you now and I always will
I would gladly be the fieldhand, if you were the field

I'd take the rain - it makes us grow
That's what you always told me
I'd take the plow firm in my hand
Just the way you hold me
I'd cultivate the valley and the hill
I would gladly be the fieldhand, if you were the field

I would sprinkle the morning dew
When the lonely nights were thru
I would hang a harvest moon
So its light would shine on you

To help you grow would truly be my will
I would gladly be the fieldhand, if you were the field
I would gladly be the fieldhand, if you were the field

"Fire In The Rain"

"Fire In The Rain"



Well, I've been running right behind you
Lord, I'm wearing out my shoes
I been saving up my lovin', saving it for you
Well, it's like trying to build a fire in the rain

It's like trying to build a fire
When the rain is pouring down
Like swimming in muddy water
Treading slow until you drown
It's like trying to stop a clock, Lord
like trying to stop a train
It's like trying to build a fire in the rain

Well, I keep asking 'bout your love, dear
But you won't ever say
"I've been looking for direction"
But you won't show the way
Well, it's like trying to build a fire in the rain

It's like trying to build a fire
When the rain is pouring down
Like swimming in muddy water
Treading slow until you drown
It's like trying to stop a clock, Lord
like trying to stop a train
It's like trying to build a fire in the rain

Well, it's like trying to build a fire in the rain

It's like trying to build a fire
When the rain is pouring down
Like swimming in muddy water
Treading slow until you drown
It's like trying to stop a clock, Lord
like trying to stop a train
It's like trying to build a fire in the rain

"Forty-Eight Hours Till Monday"

"Forty-Eight Hours Till Monday"


Down our long dusty driveway
I didn't wan't to go
But I set with tears in my eyes wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the school bus and his little man and said,
"Don't worry boy it will be all right"

[Chorus:]
Cause I took this walk your walking now
Boy, I've been in your shoes
You can't hold back the hands of time
It's just something you've got to do
So dry eyes I understand just what your going through
Cause I took this walk with my old man
Boy, I've been in your shoes

Down our long dusty driveway
I set my mind to go
I was eighteen and wild and free and wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Look at the world and his grown man and said,
"Don't worry boy it will be all right"

[Chorus]

Down our long and dusty driveway
This time we both would go
He had old and gray
And his mind was wandering
Daddy took me by the hand
Said, "I know where were going and I understand
Don't worry boy it will be all right"

[Chorus]

"Gettin' Through (Good Ol' Boy)"

"Gettin' Through (Good Ol' Boy)"



I got a job, but it ain’t nearly enough
A twenty thousand dollar pickup truck
Belongs to me and the bank
And some funny talkin’ man from Iran

I left the service, got a G. I. loan
I got married, bought myself a home
Now I hang around this one horse town
And do the best I can

It’s gettin’ tough, just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain’t enough
Gettin’ cold, I’ve been told
Well nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol’ boy

Been goin’ nowhere down a one-way track
I’d kill to leave it, but ain’t no turnin’ back
Got a wife for the kids
And what will everyone say

My brother’s standin’ on a welfare line
And any minute now I might get mine
And meanwhile it’s the I. R. S. and the devil to pay

Well, gettin’ tough, just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain’t enough
Gettin’ cold, I’ve been told
Well nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol’ boy

Well, I go out here every Friday night
Spend a little money, lookin’ for a fight
And it don’t matter if I lose or win
‘Cause Monday I’m back on the losin’ end again

Gettin’ tough, it’s just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain’t enough
Gettin’ cold, I’ve been told
Well nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol’ boy

Gettin’ tough, it’s just my luck
I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain’t enough
Gettin’ cold, I’ve been told
Well nowadays it just don’t pay to be a good ol’ boy
