"Small Talk"

"Small Talk"



Standing in line at the grocery
A bunch of magazines are looking back at me
They got a Bigfoot Elvis and a UFO
Well it's on TV so it must be so
We wanna believe we take the bait
We take it hook and line

It's small talk don't you know what I heard about so and so
Can't wait to tell somebody it's getting better every time
It don't seem to matter who we talk about or we taking to
It's just small talk all small talk

Daddy told me when I was young
You got two ears boy and just one tongue
He said the reason why were made that way
We got more to learn then we have to say
I still believe every word he said
But I get caught up sometimes

In small talk don't you know what I heard about so and so
Can't wait to tell somebody it's getting better every time
It don't seem to matter who we talk about or we taking to
It's just small talk all small talk

We got a TV show
Talking about a radio talk show
Talking about the way nobody's talking anymore
And by the time it gets around
It leaps the truth with a single bound
And what we need to hear goes out the door

With small talk don't you know what I heard about so and so
Can't wait to tell somebody it's getting better every time
It don't seem to matter who we talk about or we taking to
It's just small talk all small talk

"Small Town Hero"

"Small Town Hero"



I just turned twenty-nine three years in a row
Too young to be the president
Too old to turn pro
But when the seventies came and Elvis died
I could not fill his shoes
But oh how I tried

It was the life and time of a small town hero
But it's another day
I've got my wife, my kids, a job and it's ok
This letter of intent now, is just for show
They say it's lonely at the top
So I did not go

Andy went to Vietnam back in sixty-five
While some folks kept from going
He kept some folks alive
A purple heart is on his shelf
That he never wears
A broken one sit in his chest
For what he lost there

It was the life and times of a small town hero
But it's another day
He's got his wife, his kids, a job and it's ok
The letter from the president now, is just for show
He could have hid out way up north
But he did not go

John got his notice, gonna take the farm away
He worked it half his life
He worked Ii every day
He burned his fields his crops
And the barn before they came
The neighbors cheered and watched as john walked away

It was the life and times of a small town hero
But it's another day
He's got his wife, his kids, a job and it's ok
The letter from the bank went up in smoke
Just when they thought he was down
He did not go
It was the life and times of a small town hero

"Smokin' Hot Wife"

"Smokin' Hot Wife"



I walk around with a big fat grin
I can't believe how lucky I've been
Like Opie and Andy, the Mayberry life
With my kids and my dogs and my smokin' hot wife

I got a truck and some land
And I play in a band with my friends on a Saturday night
I thank God for the good life
I'm fightin' the good fight
From the porch in the swing by my smokin' hot wife

I ain't much to look at, so I don't know how
I ended up with the milk and the cow
We're off to Daytona, we're packed in tight
My kids and their friends and my smokin' hot wife

I got my toes in the sand, an ice tea in my hand
And I'm livin' out the fantasy life
I look out at the ocean and yell for more lotion
From my chair at the beach by my smokin' hot wife

She's so fine
She's all mine

I'm a fortunate man and I fold my hands
On my knees every night
I'm thankin' sweet Jesus 'cause when everyone see us they say
Holy Pete how did he get a smokin' hot wife?

He's got some kids and some dogs and a smokin' hot wife

He's got a porch and a swing and a smokin' hot wife

She's so fine
She's all mine

"Smoking In The Rockie"

"Smoking In The Rockie"



The lights go down, Hank Jr. hits the stage
And everybody's up on their feet
Haggard and Jones are out in San Antone
They got 'em sittin' on the edge of their seats
Well Dolly's out in Hollywood
Willie went to Washington and sang "Oh say can you see"
We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
Everybody loves to hear a country boy sing

We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
All across the USA
CDB is down in Tennessee, jammin' the night a way
Down in Savannah they're diggin' Alabama
And Jerry Lee's in Colorado Springs
We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
Everybody loves to hear a country boy sing

Well, the Oak Ridge Boys in Chicago, Illinois
"Elvira" had 'em climbing the walls
Folks fly from Boston all the way to Austin
To hear Waylon wail them songs
Now Denver's heard the word
'Bout the rockin' Gilley bird
Listen to them guitars ring
We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
Everybody loves to hear a country boy sing

We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
All across the USA
CDB is down in Tennessee, jammin' the night a way
Down in Savannah they're diggin' Alabama
And Jerry Lee's in Colorado Springs
We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
Everybody loves to hear a country boy sing

Down in Savannah they're diggin' Alabama
And Jerry Lee's in Colorado Springs
We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
Everybody loves to hear them country boys sing

We got 'em smoking in the Rockies, rocking in the Smokies
Everybody loves to hear them country boys sing

"Some Girls Do"

"Some Girls Do"



She turned up her nose as she walked by my Cadillac.
From the corner of my eye I saw you and you laughed.
You were sittin' on the swing on your front porch,
Paintin' your nails like you were bored.
And you yelled, "She was sure impressed with you."

Well I ain't first class but I ain't white trash,
I'm wild and a little crazy too.
Some girls don't like boys like me.
Aww, but some girls do.

I yelled and asked if you would like a ride.
When we pulled out of your yard, I bald a tire.
You was laughin' at me, I was doin' James Dean.
You was the prettiest girl I even seen.
When you rolled your eyes and twirled my pink fur dice.

Well, I ain't first class but I ain't white trash.
I'm wild and a little crazy too.
Some girls don't like boys like me,
Aww, but some girls do.

Well good 'ol boys don't get no breaks
And the rich boys think they got what it takes.
But there's someone for each of us they say.

Well, I ain't first class but I ain't white trash,
I'm wild and a little crazy too.
Some girls don't like boys like me,
Aww, but some girls do.

Well, I ain't first class but I ain't white trash,
I'm wild and a little crazy too.
Some girls don't like boys like me,
Aww, but some girls do.

I said some girls do.
Ya know some girls do,
Like boys like me.
Ya know some girls do.

"Someone"

"Someone"



It must be awful cold up on the moon
It's dark and it's dusty, there's nothing much to do
Maybe right now you think that's where you gotta stay
One of these nights when you feel lost and far away

Someone will come someone who's been needing someone too
Somewhere out there waiting for at chance at loving you
And you're gonna let him
I just wish I knew how long it'll be
Before you ever see
The someone is me

You lie awake and listen for a sound
Prayin' for your angel, to just come swooping down
And even though your not expecting one to come along
Better leave the porch light burning just in case your wrong

Someone will come someone who's been needing someone too
Somewhere out there waiting for at chance at loving you
And you're gonna let him
I just wish I knew how long it'll be
Before you ever see
The someone is me

You may not believe it when you're out there by yourself
But there's someone whose never wanted anybody else

Someone will come someone who's been needing someone too
Somewhere out there waiting for at chance at loving you
And you're gonna let him
I just wish I knew how long it'll be
Before you ever see
The someone is me

"Sometimes A Hero"

"Sometimes A Hero"



The world's full of questions you thought I had the answers for
I see you look at the world with eyes I had before
You see in me something I never found till I found you by my side
Now I never want to let you down

But sometimes a hero seems awfully far from home
But even a hero can't always stop the cold wind when it blows
But if you hold tight, the long night will soon be tomorrow
And you'll find me when you need sometimes a hero

Without the wind, there would be no sails
And if not for you, there would be no hero in me
There are times I have shined and there are times that I fail
Sometimes, a hero he'll ride off, but he'll be back again another day

But sometimes a hero seems awfully far from home
But even a hero can't always stop the cold wind when it blows
But if you hold tight, the long night will soon be tomorrow
And you'll find me when you need sometimes a hero

But sometimes a hero seems awfully far from home
But even a hero can't always stop the cold wind when it blows
But if you hold tight, the long night will soon be tomorrow
And you'll find me when you need sometimes a hero

"Somewhere In The Night"

"Somewhere In The Night"



Somewhere in the night
When you're feelin' safe and warm
Don't be surprised to find
Some calm before the storm
Somewhere in the night
It's gonna hit like lightnin'
It's gonna be so frightnin'
When you find your love is gone

Somewhere in the night
There's a lady lost and lonely
She used to be your one and only
But that was yesterday
Somewhere in the night
There's a new romance unfoldin'
Some lucky stranger's holdin'
What you threw away

You think you'll do alright without her (without her)
You havent begun to think about her (about her)
But somewhere in the night
It's gonna be over (over) And over (over)
And over, yeah.

Somewhere in the night
There's a memory right behind you
You can bet it's gonna find you
Wonderin' what went wrong
Somewhere in the night
It's gonna hit like lightnin'
It's gonna be so frightnin'
When you find your love is gone

(Somewhere in the night)
It's gonna find you
Oh, somewhere in the night.

(Somewhere in the night)
It's gonna find you
Oh, somewhere in the night.

(Somewhere in the night)
It's gonna find you
Oh, somewhere in the night.

(Somewhere in the night)
It's gonna find you
Oh, somewhere in the night.

"Soul Searchin'"

"Soul Searchin'"


Movin' up on 1999
Got so much around me
That I can call mine
I've got my friends
Got my family
There's something that I'm missin'
Something I need

[Chorus:]
I'm goin' soul searchin' to understand
What's in my heart
That makes me who I am
I'm goin' soul searchin'
Cause I know that I can
Be a better man

In the good book on the table by my bed
Simple direction for my life to be lead
I've got to slow down got to take some time
If the promise land is ever to be mine

[Chorus]

When we go what we have
We leave behind
Oh but who we are will be ours for all time

[Chorus x2]

"Staying Afloat"

"Staying Afloat"



It’s another Saturday evening
Just you and me and the black and white
But we’re dreamin’ in color
Tellin’ each other, things are lookin’ bright
So we’ll be skimmin’ the waters
I hear the wind in the sails tonight
We’re just payin’ our dues
For that luxury cruise in Paradise

And we’re staying afloat till our ship comes in
A keepin’ our heads above water
Staying afloat till our ship comes in
We’re holdin’ on to each other

You could have married for money
I could have married this dream inside
But we’re two go getters
Swimmin’ together in the stream of life
They say it’s never been harder
Makin’ end meet and keepin’ love alive
But we’re up to our necks
The bills out number the checks
But our love survives
