"Snowball In El Paso"

"Snowball In El Paso"



She left her boots she wears in the rain
She left her lady razor
She left a note that I can't explain
On the refrigerator
She left a book she's been reading for days
Beside her chest of drawers
She left her nightgown hanging
Behind the bathroom door
But she left me no choice as far as I can tell
When it comes to getting over her
She didn't leave me a chance in hell

Like a snowball in El Paso
Like a feather in the wind
Without a prayer I'll ever find someone like her again
A fast train is comin'
And my heart's a penny on the rail
No she didn't leave me a chance in hell

She left me wondering what I'm gonna do
With all these pieces left of me
She left her scent all over the room
So even in the dark I'd see
She left a thirsty man with no water in the well
And without a single storm cloud overhead
She didn't leave me a chance in hell

Like a snowball in El Paso
Like a feather in the wind
Without a prayer I'll ever find someone like her again
A fast train is comin'
And my heart's a penny on the rail
No she didn't leave me a chance in hell

A fast train is comin'
And my heart's a penny on the rail
No, she didn't leave me a chance in hell
No, she didn't leave me a chance in hell

"So What If I Do"

"So What If I Do"


[Verse 1:]
So what if you made a fool of me
So what if you’re the last thing I need
So what if you’re there all alone
So what if I answer the phone

[Chorus:]
So what, so what if I do
Hold out hope that we ain’t through
You tell me that I can’t keep loving you
Well so what, so what if I do
So what, so what if I do

[Verse 2:]
So what if it’s just for tonight?
So what if it’s one more last time
So what if I close my eyes
So what if I pretend you’re mine

[Chorus:]
So what, so what if I do
Hold out hope that we ain’t through
You tell me that I can’t keep loving you
Well so what, so what if I do
So what, so what if I do

So what if I can’t tell you no?
So what if I’m not starting now?
So what if I can’t let you go?
So what if I don’t know how?

[Chorus:]
So what, so what if I do
Hold out hope that we ain’t through
You tell me that I can’t keep loving you
Well so what, so what if I do
So what, so what if I do
So What if I do?
So What if I do?
So What if I do?

"Someday"

"Someday"



I am grounded
But I have wings to fly
I just don't use them
I just look up in the sky
And keep 'em hidden
Bound up in a coat and tie
'Til the world is ready for a man with wings to fly

But I will fly someday
I'll break these feet of clay
Then I'll be on my way
My way

I am feeling
Though I do not shed a tear
My eyes are dusty
Though I have faced my fear of fears
I am shaken by the coming on of the years
I am a feeling man but I cannot shed a tear

But I will cry someday
I'll break these eyes of clay
Then I'll be on my way, my way
Someday

Oh someday

I am loving
Though I make my bed alone
I've had lovers
But I have no one of my own
But I could feed her
From the garden I have grown
I am a loving man though I make my bed alone

But I will love someday
I will break this heart of clay
Then I'll be on my way, my way
Someday
On my way, someday
I'm gonna love someday

"Sometimes A Man Takes A Drink"

"Sometimes A Man Takes A Drink"



Last night he fell down but he got right back up
Had one too many I guess
Tomorrow he won't remember tonight he just want's to forget
The pressure he's under the hell he's been in
The knife twisted up in his gut
When this is all over he's gonn get sober
Right now he's just down on his luck

Sometimes a man takes a drink
So he can just throw his head back and laugh
At things he can't change
Like the bills he can't pay and all of those ghosts from the past
It's the crutch he leans on when things have gone wrong
Life didn't turn out like he planned
Sometimes a man takes a drink
Sometimes a drink takes the man

Not that long ago he could take it or leave it
Now he wonders when it all changed
When did he stop being happy go lucky and become a prisoner in chains
Trapped behind bars no longer in charge
Where did the good times all go
He knows it's got him cause he's on the bottom
Real close to out of control

Sometimes a man takes a drink
So he can just throw his head back and laugh
At things he can't change
Like the bills he can't pay and all of those ghosts from the past
It's the crutch he leans on when things have gone wrong
Life didn't turn out like he planned
Sometimes a man takes a drink
Sometimes a drink takes the man
Sometimes a man takes a drink
Sometimes a drink takes the man

"Songs About Me"

"Songs About Me"



I met a guy on the red eye
He spotted my guitar
And said what do you do?
I said, I sing for a living,
Country music mixed with
A little rock and a little blues
He said I'm sorry
But I've never been crazy
'bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing
What ever made you want to sing stuff like that?
I just looked at him and laughed and said

Cause it's songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women and family and God
Yeah they're all just
Songs about me
Songs about me

So I offered him tickets
I said you'll see what I mean
If you show up tonight
He said I doubt you'll change my opinion
I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try

Then later on when we finished our songs
About scars and cars and broken hearts
I saw him, he was standing there
Right next to the stage
And he shouted
Man you were right
It was like you sang those

Songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women and family and God
Yeah they're all just
Songs about me
Songs about me

So I'll just keep on singing
'til I hear the whole world singing those

Songs about me
And who I am
Songs about loving and living
And good hearted women and family and God
Yeah they're all just
Songs about me
Songs about me

"Southern Hallelujah"

"Southern Hallelujah"



Ahhh yeah....
I'm gonna preach you now brothers & sisters, listen...

Northern dolls, pretty please
Dot their I's and cross their T's
Black skirt, high heels, show you no pity

Sunshine smile, Pacific Gals
Got the DNA mojo know-how
Yes, man, they can make you so dizzy

Made out of Heaven's grand design
It's right there across that Mason-Dixon line

Georgia girls get you jumpin'
Bama belles set hearts pumpin'
Texarkana maids are somethin' with their sweet tea hospitality
Mississippi ladies' mission
Keep them Yankee boys a wishin'
Ol' Webster's definition is zippity-doo-dah what we do to ya
The girls with Southern Hallelujah

Well hey who knew the way they talk
How do you dos and bless your hearts
And hey y'all drawls melt you like butter

Lose your Ps and Qs
They'll set you down
Give you a who to
They'll hush your mouth
Nice to find some spice in the sugar

Restores my faith in humanity
Can I get a witness out there
Who agrees with me?

Georgia girls get you jumpin'
Bama belles set hearts pumpin'
Louisiana maids are somethin' with their sweet tea hospitality
Mississippi ladies' mission
Keep them Yankee boys a wishin'
Ol' Webster's definition is zippity-doo-dah what we do to ya
The girls with Southern Hallelujah

Their kinda beauties just born to make us cry
Don't ask me how I know cuz I can't tell ya why
Just know that I'm one helluva lucky guy
Whoa oh and then some
Can I get an amen, son?
Amen now.

Georgia girls get you jumpin'
Bama belles set hearts pumpin'
Carolinas maids are somethin' with their sweet tea hospitality
Mississippi ladies' mission
Keep them Yankee boys a wishin'
Ol' Webster's definition is zippity-doo-dah what we do to ya
The girls with Southern Hallelujah
Southern Hallelujah
Yeah, amen son

"Still Love You"

"Still Love You"



on the last day the sun begins to rise
to paint a path across the mornin' sky
oh, i will still love you

and when the wind breathes it's final breath
and ev'ry drop of rain's called back to where it's kept
yes, i will still love you

when the last star burns out
and the moon shines no more
someday when the ocean
turns it's back on the shore
and heaven is the only place
we can runnnnnnn to
yes, i will still love you

the last time this world spins around
that moment after time runs out
baby, i will still love you

when the last star burns out
and the moon shines no more
someday when the ocean
turns it's back on the shore
and heaven is the only place
we can runnnnnnn to
girl, i will still love you

yes, i will still love you

"Sweet"

"Sweet"



Back as far as I remember Mama always worried about me
Ya See Mama knew my taste in women
She'd say whatever you do, boy find you one that's sweet
Mama I finally found one that I'd like you to meet

She's sweet like a Cadillac
Sweet like a stack of hard cash
Sweet like the diamond bling
Dangling down from her belly button ring
She's sweet like a handful of aces
Tattoos in secret places
Mama can't you see she's sweet

No mama she ain't into ironing
And she ain't one to scrub the house and clean
no Mama she couldn't boil a pot of water
So she won't need non of Grandma's recipes
But mama don't you worry none
She's taking real good care of me

She's sweet like a Cadillac
Sweet like a stack of hard cash
Sweet like the diamond bling
Dangling down from her belly button ring
She's sweet like a handful of aces
Tattoos in secret places
Mama can't you see she's sweet

She's sweet like a Cadillac
Sweet like a stack of hard cash
Sweet like the diamond bling
Dangling down from her belly button ring
She's sweet like a handful of aces
Tattoos in secret places
She's sweetr like a Hollywood dream
7,7,7 on a slot machine
She's sweet

"Tannenbaum"

"Tannenbaum"



O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches

Your boughs are green in summer's glow,
And do not fade in winter's snow
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Your candles shine out brightly
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Your candles shine out brightly

Each bough doth hold its tiny light
That makes each toy the spark through light
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy candles shine so brightly

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Such happiness you bring me
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Such happiness you bring me

For every year the Christmas tree,
Feel this sweet harmony
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Such happiness you bring me

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum
How lovely are your branches
