Smell The Flowers

Smell The Flowers


Yesterday oh how many do you wish you could relive
Turn the page and go back oh I wonder what you'd give
Looking back does it seem when you've planned when you've dreamed
You forgot the most important thing
Smell the flowers while the roses bloom take the time
my friend and sing a happy tune
Oh how precious every mile so take a minute learn to smile
My friend let's stop a while and smell the flowers (smell the flowers)

[Guitar]

Got a troubled mind friend if you let too much worry rule your days
When you look back do you feel like something precious slipped away
Oh my friend are you the man that the world slip through his hands
Can you remember when you smelled the flowers
Smell the flowers...
Smell the flowers...

Sneaky Moon

Sneaky Moon


Radio sittin' on a window sill
I can hear the music comin' over the hill
How am I supposed to stay in bed
With a crazy little love song in my head

Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon

June bug buzzin' on the front porch light
Heartbreak's waitin' for me outside
I swore, I wouldn't open that door
Here I am in those arms once more

Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon

Safe and sound at home asleep
Is where I ought to be
Everywhere I go it just keeps
Creepin' up on me

Romeo waited for the sun to set
Before he serenaded Juliet
Eve met the devil on a Saturday night
But who tricked her into takin' that bite

Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon
Ooh, sneaky moon, ooh, sneaky moon
Ahh sneaky moon

Some Kind Of Trouble

Some Kind Of Trouble


Late one night I heard a knock on my door
To no surprise, it was my landlord
He notified me I was late with the rent
What can you do with your last dollar spent?

Ya got trouble, some kind of trouble

I called up my baby for a little advice
Because my sugar baby always treats me so nice
I had a funny feeling he wasn't alone
When I heard another voice whisper "hang up the phone"

I got trouble, some kind of trouble

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind, never any trouble for me to find some kind of trouble

I went to my boss, said I need a little time
To work on this poor broken heart of mine
He said, "I'd like to help ya, I've been there before but the problem is girl
Ya don't work here no more.

Ya got trouble, some kind of trouble

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind, never any trouble for me to find some kind of trouble

I got trouble

Well I was down around as low as a body can be
So I talked to my Preacher about praying for me
He smiled and he said child your not alone
Because all God's children got to deal with their own trouble

Some kind Of trouble

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind, never any trouble for me to find some kind of trouble

Some kind Of trouble

Some kind of trouble

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind, never any trouble for me to find some kind of trouble

Trouble

Somebody Trying To Tell You Something

Somebody Trying To Tell You Something


You were movin' too fast to ever grow old
Must a took a wrong turn back down the road
Searchin' for truth where there just wasn't any
And the wine's not so sweet when you've had one too many

Somebody's knocking on your door is your day finally coming
Is it the hand of fate or maybe somebody tryin' to tell you something

Looking out the window at the fading light
If you could do it all over where would you be tonight?
Shadows on the walls like her long dark hair
And you know you know better when you say you don't care

Somebody's knocking on your door is your day finally coming
Is it the hand of fate or maybe somebody tryin' to tell you something

You tore it all apart now put it back together
It'd be easier if you could just live forever
You feel something coming that you don't understand
And you pray to the Lord it ain't out of your hands

Somebody's knocking on your door
Somebody's knocking on your door
Maybe somebody tryin' to tell you something
Maybe somebody tryin' to tell you something

Someday Soon

Someday Soon


Someday soon
There's a young men that a know
His age is 21
He comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service
And he's looking for his fun
Someday soon going with him someday soon

My parents cannot stand him
Cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me crying
I would follow him right down
The toughest road I know
Someday soon going with him someday soon

And when he comes to call
My pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess its cause he was just as wild
In the younger days

So blow you ol' blue northern
Blow my love to me
He's drivin' in tonight from California
He loves his damned ol' rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon going with him someday soon

Solo

And when he comes to call
My pa ain't got a word to say
Guess its cause he was just as wild
In the younger days

So blow you ol' blue northern
Blow my love to me
He's drivin' in tonight from California
He loves his damned ol' rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon going with him someday soon
someday soon going with him somDay so--on

Son Of A Preacher Man

Son Of A Preacher Man


Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

Chorus:
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oooh, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?

Chorus:
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, Lord knows he was

(Yes he was!)

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown

And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was

The only boy who could ever reach me
was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man

oh yea, ah hah, oh yea!

Song Man

Song Man


On the sidewalks of Savannah
There's an old man ragged and blind
He don't beg an' he don't steal
And he don't fool with wine

With an old guitar in his wrinkled hands
A thousand songs in his mind
You can't keep your heart from lovin'
The song man when you hear him cry

"Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make ya happy
And songs that'll make ya cry
I got a special poor man's blues"

"Two for the price of one
It won't cost you a thing to hear me
Sing my favorite Gospel song"

"Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home"

All the old timers in Savannah
Have known him all of their lives
And they all say that he's done seen
A hundred years go by

With an old dog he calls Govenor John
He starts at the break of dawn
And he don't stop as long as someone
Wants to hear him sing a song

"Song Man, one song for a dime
I got songs that'll make ya happy
And songs that'll make ya cry
I got a special poor man's blues"

"Two for the price of one
It won't cost you a thing to hear me
Sing my favorite Gospel song"

"Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home"

Lord, I'm comin' home, Lord, I'm comin' home
I've been a fightin' the devil too long
Lord, I'm comin' home

Soon

Soon


Looking back she thinks about that moment in the sand
But what was just a summer fling got so far out of hand
She knew that he was taken
But she gave in anyway
She believed when she heard him say

Soon
I'll be free to be with you
Soon
I'll be telling you know who the facts of life
I want you to be my wife
And our dreams will all come true
Soon

Christmas finds her all alone with no cause to rejoice
So she calls his code a phone just to hear his voice
She knows that it's useless
But she does it anyway
She knows how he'll answer before she hears him say

Soon
I can't talk with you right now
Soon
You'll hear a beep and you know how to play this game
Leave your number and your name
And I promise I'll call back
Soon

Some day slowly turns to never
Tears and champagne offer no solution
He'll say Soon to her forever
So she makes her New Year's resolution

Soon
She won't call him anymore
Soon
When he shows up at her door
And asks her When can I be with you again?
It'll be her turn to say
Soon

Spring

Spring


In a broken down apartment house
Lay a woman in labor
She said by the grace of God I'll have this child
And the help of a neighbor
At six o'clock the sun was rising
All upon the world
At seven forty five
The neighbor smiled and said
You've got a beautiful girl

She named her Spring
Winter's been a long time passin
She named her Spring
And though she's never been wed
She held her newborn child and said
Spring, I've waited a long, long time for you

In a broked down apartment house
Lay a woman dyin
And by her side a little six year old girl
Who was softly cryin
Momma don't go away
And leave me all alone
Momma said to the welfare lady
Find my child a good home

I'll miss my Spring
Winter's been a long time passin
I'll miss you Spring
The angels carried her away
The welfare lady knelt to pray
Spring, she'll be a long time gone from you

In a beautiful church out side of town
Stands a woman smiling
On her hand is a wedding band
Of fashionable styling
After all the years in the orphan's home
He shared with you
And now your hopes and childhood dreams
Have all come true

He loves you Spring
Winter's been a long time passin
He needs you Spring
He promised you today
He'll never leave or go away
Spring, he's waited a long, long time for you
A long, long time for you

Still Hold On

Still Hold On


If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way
Would you say
Lies I wanted to hear

If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart
Would you start
Tearin' me down again

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on

If I told you tonight I was leavin'
Would you call my name
Take the blame
Turn it all around again

'Cause you know I love you
And it's worth the heartache
We curse the heartbreak we make
But I still hold on

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on, oh yeah

Hey, I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on

If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way
Would you say
Lies I wanted to hear

If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart
Would you start
Tearin' me down again

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on

I still hold on, I still hold on
Still hold on, still hold on
