"Sleep Tonight"

"Sleep Tonight"


Hey darkness dont you try
To steal the moment or close my eyes
I won't let you in

'Cause this feels too damn good to me
All I want and all I need
Is her touch again and again and again

[CHORUS:]
I don't wanna go to sleep tonight
I don't want anything to change
I don't wanna wake up and find a different day
Yeah, she makes me free
Here between the day and the twilight
I don't wanna go to sleep tonight

Time stop dead in your tracks
Turn around and don't look back
And just let us be

I'm gonna take this time and soak it up
Forever wouldn't be long enough
If you knew her you'd agree, agree with me

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I wish the sun would just forget to come up
And just leave us wrapped up in this love

[REPEAT CHORUS]

"Smiling"

"Smiling"



The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream
Just another fantasy for sale
Telling me what I need, what I should do, who I should be
That stuff don't matter to me at all

The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling

Guru man on my TV set, selling the secrets to happiness
1-800-Change-Your-Life-Today
Dreams, I've got my own; I ain't looking for a yellow-brick-road
I'm just gonna go my own way

The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling

Smiling (smiling), smiling (smiling)

The sky is blue and the sun is shining
I feel like a bum with a pocket full of diamonds
I'm free as a bird and my spirit's flying
That's enough to keep me smiling

I'm still smiling, gotta keep on smiling
I'm still smiling

"Some Things Never Change"

"Some Things Never Change"



After all this time I still miss you everyday
The same world spins 'round
I guess some things never change
Sometimes I go out but it never feels the same
I still look for you
Baby some things never change

When I said I'd love you for eternity
I just never knew how true those words would be
Just an old love song
Just a mention of your name
My heart breaks in two again
I guess some things never change

Maybe someday someone else will set me free
Until then I'll live with your loves legacy
And I'll keep holding on
Hoping you'll come back someday
You can rest assured
Baby some things never change
Girl I'm still in love with you
I guess some things never change

I still love you

"Somebody Must Be Prayin' For Me"

"Somebody Must Be Prayin' For Me"



She left Oklahoma for California
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat
Smoke was pourin' from that old Cadillac
But she wasn't turnin' back

Just outside of Flagstaff
Motor blew on her Coup De Ville
Just in time she saw a sign
There's was a Texaco waitin' at the bottom of the hill
And she said

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me, yeah

A boy about 20 climbed out of a truck
All covered in grease and dirt
She said, "Hey Charles," but he just laughed
He said, "I'm wearin' my daddy's shirt"
He stood there lost in her eyes
Then she got lost in his

As the years roll by
She would sigh everytime they kissed
And she'd say

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Must be angels I can't see
Somebody must be prayin' for me

Sometimes she stares out the window
And wonders about her Hollywood dreams
But when she tucks her kids in bed
She softly whispers as they fall asleep

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Somebody out there must be prayin' for me
Ain't it funny how you find just what you need
Somebody must be prayin' for me

Somebody must be prayin' for me
Prayin' for me, yeah

"Something Like That"

"Something Like That"



It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the county fair
When I saw her for the first time
She was standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh, a sailer's sky made a perfect sunset
And that's the day I'll never forget

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that

Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headed down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
When I heard a voice from the past
Comin' from a few rows back
And when I looked, I couldn't believe just what I saw
She said I bet you don't remember me
And I said only every other memory

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
You were killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that

Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love
Never fades away

I had a barbecue stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin’ rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart don’t forget, no a heart don’t forget
I said a heart don’t forget something like that
Oh, not something like that

"Something's Broken"

"Something's Broken"



Think something's broken then again nothin's smokin'
Or shakin' or chokin' like my ol' truck
But I think something's broken
And I think it's worth notin'
It started about the time
She got all packed up

Could be my ego could be my pride
Could be my calm cool collective side
Maybe my heart's comin' eye to eye
With the truth she wasn't jokin'

Think something's broken
Cause I'm just layin''round hopin'
That maybe any momemt
I'll get on track
But I think something's broken
All locked up or frozen cause I can't go forward and I sure can't go back

Could be my ego could be my pride
Could be my calm cool collective side
Maybe my heart's comin' eye to eye
With the truth she wasn't jokin'

Think it's my heart
Comin' eye to eye
With the truth
She wasn't jokin'

I know something's broken
Just started smokin'
And shakin' and chokin'
Like my old truck

"Southern Girl"

"Southern Girl"


Now I ain't sayin' them LA ladies don't know what they're doin'
And I been in love with New York City a time or two
I had some Seattle coffee, some Chicago wind
Some Kansas wheat fields I'd love to see again
But the fireflies play where the cattails grow
And them southern girls, they talk nice and slow with

Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey
Little bit crazy like New Orleans
Memphis blue and Daytona sunny
Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans
Don't you know,
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world
Like a southern girl

(Southern girl rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long)

A southern girl's mama probably taught her how a lady should act
But a southern girl's probably got a barn somewhere reared out back
She'll get a little hay in her hair, her tires in the mud
She's been caught in the rain, and washed in the blood
Likes cherries in her coke, takes a little sip,
Comes over to me with them sunburned lips and them

Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey
Little bit crazy like New Orleans
Memphis blue and Daytona sunny
Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans
Don't you know,
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world
Like a southern girl

(Southern girl rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long)

If you've ever seen Savannah heat up when the stars come out
Well, then, fellas, come on, you know what I'm talkin' about

Kisses sweeter than Tupelo honey
Little bit crazy like New Orleans
Memphis blue and Daytona sunny
Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans
Don't you know,
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world
Like a southern girl

(Southern girl rock my world
Put on a country song

[Repeat 'til the end:]
(Southern girl rock my world
Hazel eyes and golden curls
Put on a country song
We'll dance all night long)

"Southern Voice"

"Southern Voice"



Hank Williams sang it
Number 3 drove it
Chuck Berry twanged it
Will Faulkner wrote it
Aretha Franklin sold it
Dolly Parton graced it
Rosa Parks rode it
Scarlett O chased it

Smooth as the hickory wind
That blows from Memphis
Down to Appalachicola
It's hi ya'll did ya eat well

Sure glad to know ya
Don't let this old gold cross
An' this Allman Brothers t-shirt throw ya
It's cicadas making noise
With the southern voice

Hank Aaron smacked it
Michael Jordan dunked it
Pocahantas tracked it
Jack Daniels drunk it
Tom Petty rocked it
Dr. King paved it
Bear Bryant won it
Billy Graham saved it

Smooth as the hickory wind
That blows from Memphis
Down to Appalachicola
It's hi ya'll did ya eat well
Come on in I'm
Sure glad to know ya
Don't let this old gold cross
An' this Crimson Tide t-shirt throw ya
It's cicadas making noise
With the southern voice

Jesus is my friend
America is my home
Sweet iced tea and Jerry Lee
Daytona Beach
That's what gets to me
I can feel it in my bones

Smooth as the hickory wind
That blows from Memphis
Down to Appalachicola
It's hi ya'll did ya eat well
Come on in child
I'm sure glad to know ya
Don't let this old gold cross
An' this Charlie Daniels t-shirt throw ya
We're just boys making noise
With the southern voice

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Southern Voice
I got a southern voice
A southern voice

"Still"

"Still"



There's a place I like to go
Where I can here the cotton grow
When that train whistle blows
A dozen miles down the road
All I really have to do is just be still

There's the place I love to be
Momma daddy my sister & me
First time I ever saw the beach back to 1983
All I really have to do is just be still

When this world gets crazy
And tries to break me
And I had all I can stand
I can close my eyes no matter where I am
And just be still

There's a place that I can see
Where my babies next to me
Close enough to feel the heat
All wound up beneath the sheets
All I have to do is just be still

When this world gets crazy
And tries to break me
And I had all I can stand
I can close my eyes
No matter where I am
And just be still

There's a place I need to go
Where the stain glass windows flow
Every part of me is known
Thank god I can go there
Thank god I can go there still
Thank god I can go there still

"Still On The Line"

"Still On The Line"



Are you still there?
I've got a bad connection
It's pouring rain, 2 a.m.
And I'm in the middle of nowhere

I don't know what to say (I'm saying it)
I don't know what to do (I'm doin' it)
All I really know is I know I need you, I need you

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before you're sleeeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine
Yeah, I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart, breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night
But, I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

Am I lonely?
Yeah, of course I am
Smoke green nights and red tail lights
Got me slowly going crazy

I don't know what to say (I'm saying it)
I don't know what to do (I'm doin' it)
All I really know is I know I need you, I need you

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before your sleeeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine
Yeah, I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night
But, I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line

I just called to hear you breathing
Your last words before your sleeping
I can't sleep without your body next to mine
Ya, I know I'm always leaving
Breaking your heart breaking even
I'm just a number in the middle of the night
But, I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
I'm still on the line
