"Stones"

"Stones"


Barely old enough, to call it love,
Showin off, skippin rocks across, the water,
Stones, I handed one to you,
You put it in your pocket,
Said you loved it, said you'd keep it

Forever, Stones

[Chorus]

One by one, they mark our passage,
Along this winding road we're on,
With each turn we take,
From the craddle to the grave,
Our lives are paved with stones,

A tiny velvet box,
One perfect little rock,
A little thing, just a ring,
But it says marry me,
Stones, we'll build ourselves a home,
Where loves a corner stone,
We'll have children, they'll have children,
Untill they roll off on their own,
Like stones

[Chorus]

One by one, they mark our passage,
Along this winding road we're on,
With each turn we take,
From the craddle to the grave,
Our lives are paved with.

[Bridge]

Birth stones stepping stones,
Skipping rocks, and dodging lots of
Sticks and stones,
And I've been on both sides of throwing stones

Years are like the wind,
Their here and gone and then,
They'll blow away, our every trace,
All except our names, engraved in,
Stones

[Chorus]

One by one, they mark our passage,
Along this winding road we're on,
With each turn we take,
From the craddle to the grave,
Our lives are paved with stones

"Stop, Drop And Roll"

"Stop, Drop And Roll"


I don’t know if you know what you’re doin’
But you’re raisin’ my temperature watchin’ you movin’
Tryin’ things on takin’ things off
Lookin’ hot in everything or nothin’ at all

I'm scratchin’ my head I can’t remember no more
What you’re getting all ready all dolled up for
Got me all fired up and wantin’ your kiss
Best thing to do in a time like this… is

Stop drop and roll
Before this flame burns out of control
Wrap up in a sheet keep it contained
The way you’re smokin’ it’d sure be a shame
Not to do what I know I should do
I better stop drop and roll around with you

Now babe you know I really wanna take you to town
But i’d really hate to burn that honky tonk down
Belt buckle rubbin’ just fans the fire
What we ought to do before it gets any higher … is

Stop drop and roll
Before this flame burns out of control
Wrap up in a sheet keep it contained
The way you’re smokin’ it’d sure be a shame
Not to do what I know I should do
Stop drop and roll around with you

Oh is it hot in here or girl is it just you
Well I know what to do

Lets stop and drop and roll
Before this flame burns out of control
Wrap up in a sheet and keep it contained
The way you’re smokin’ it’d sure be a shame
Not to

Stop and drop and roll
Before this flame burns out of control
Wrap up in a sheet keep it contained
The way you’re smokin’ it’d sure be a shame
Not to do what I know I should do
Oh I wanna stop drop and roll around with you
Stop drop and roll
Around with you

"Strong"

"Strong"


In her bare feet, white cotton dress
A ribbon holding back her curls
In a sweet gentle voice, she sings a lullaby
To two sleepy little girls
In the nightlight glow as her babies drift off
She looks so fragile, looks so so soft

[Chorus:]
She's strong
Solid as a rock
Like a lighthouse standing alone
She's strong got the world on her shoulders
She keeps carring on
She can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith there's no quit in her
She's strong
Yeah so strong

There's a crayon picture says 'We love you mom'
She keeps it in a frame on her desk
There's a friend of a friend
Who calls now and then
But she's not ready just yet
She might get lonely in the still of the night
But she'll hold out till she knows it's right

[Chorus]

And sometimes when nobody else is around
She gets down
And sometimes in a moment of weakness
A single tear falls, and that's all

She's strong
She's strong
She can take the heat she can take the cold winter
She's got faith there's no quit in her
She's strong
Yeah so strong
She's strong
Yeah so strong

"Tender Enough"

"Tender Enough"


I ain't always right there with you
Even when I'm in the room
Don't say the things you need to hear enough
Like I'm supposed to
I'm beggin' for your patience
Longin' to embrace you
Heaven knows we haven't done this in awhile

[Chorus:]
I can't help the way that I grew up
The only love I've ever known was tough
Sometimes a rough around the edges man
The kind with calloused hands
But tonight
I'll be tender enough
To make you cry

You'd ever know how proud it makes me
Just to watch you sleep
Still can't believe at the end of these two arms
Is all I've ever dreamed
And every day I'm saved
Humbled by your grace
And the peace in knowing that you understand

[Repeat Chorus]

Just tender enough
To make you cry

"Texas Tornado"

"Texas Tornado"


You called me up from Amarillo said you were coming to town
I thought I'd like to tell you hello and drive and old friend around
I pulled up to the airport confident and cool
When you stepped off that plane I knew I was your fool
My little Texas tornado blowing me away again
I swore it wouldn't happen again but I looked at you and then
I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west Texas wind
You're blowing me away again

You're lying with me in Atlanta it's such a beautiful lie
You play me like a piano I always let you get by
I know I'll go through hell girl when you find someone else
But right now I'm in heaven and I can't help myself
My little Texas tornado...
[ steel ]
I'm like a tumbleweed in a wild west Texas wind
You're blowing me away again
Texas tornado blowing me away again
I swore it wouldn't happen again but I looked at you and then

"That Was Us"

"That Was Us"


Twenty dollars out of mama's purse bought us a tank of gas
And some Redman tobacco when we was just teenage kids
Yeah me and my old buddy Leroy we'd go driving around
If there was trouble to be found man we dang sure did
Cuttin' doughnuts in the fields till Old Man Smith would call the cops
He'd come running out with a shotgun cause we was running down his crops
And I reckon he's still wondering who that was that was us

Some of these local boys moved on but we never changed a bit
I don't guess we had enough sense least that's what some folks said
Yeah we finally turned old enough to buy our own beer
Don't remember much about that year lucky we ain't dead
Cause somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
Tryin' to pull down that old water tank sits out on the county line
And people wonder why it leans the way it does that was us

Seems like small towns never change but things get tough when times get hard
And they said when he got sick that Old Man Smith would've lost that farm
He was gettin' way behind on all his bills
Till someone came and brought his crops in from the fields
Yeah folks round here still don't know who that was that was us

Cuttin' doughnuts on the fields till Old Man Smith would call the cops
He'd come runnin' out with a shotgun cause we was runnin' down his crops
Somebody said they saw some boys with a truck looked just like mine
Tryin' to pull down that old water tank sits out on the county line
That was us yeah that was us

"The Book You Never Read"

"The Book You Never Read"


When you were lost and needed help
I hoped you would have turned to me
And when you couldn't save yourself
I watched you drowned that misery

I've seen the damage you have done
Every teardrop and misstep
You know I could have saved you some
I'm the book you never read

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2
Your grandma swears that I am the truth
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
I'm like a member of the family
Three generations have handed me down
I'm in the drawer by your bed
I'm the book you never read

I can't take the first step for you
But when you take that step you'll find
You are the key, I am the door to
Forgiveness and some peace of mind and you know

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2
Your grandma swears that I am the truth
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
I'm like a member of the family
Three generations have handed me down
And despite that is all they've said
I'm still the book you never read

So when the world treats you unkindly
And your heart is heavy with regret
That's when I wish you would find me
I'm the book you've never read

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2
Your grandma swears that I am the truth
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
I'm like a member of the family
Three generations have handed me down
I'm in the drawer by your bed
I'm still book you never read, you've never read

"The Rock"

"The Rock"


Outside Savanna, spring of 1844
They drove the last nail in and opened up the doors
Jedediah Moore was the first to be baptized
Saw him married here and buried here
When the Yankees took his life

I've felt the pain of people fighting their own demon
And the presence of the power that finally freed them
I'm a bright and shining beacon, giving shelter in the storm
Every saint and sinner, I greet with open arms

I am the rock, I am stained glass and stone
The foundation that this town was built upon
And I've been standing strong and steady all these years
Held together by the faithful gathered here

I've heard the words of deliverance and damnation
And the sweet sound of redemption and salvation
Entire congregations with their voices raised in song
While the angels in my rafters rejoice and sing along

I am the rock, I am stained glass and stone
The foundation that this town was built upon
And I've been standing strong and steady all these years
Held together by the faithful gathered here

And as long as there's a God above
And people still believe, my walls will never crumble
And I will always be

The rock, I am stained glass and stone
The foundation that this town was built upon
And I've been standing strong and steady all these years
Held together by the faithful gathered here

Outside Savannah, Spring of 1844
They drove the last nail in and opened up my doors

"The Singer"

"The Singer"


Now my momma she'll say that's my baby
And my daddy he'd say that's my son
My high school baseball coach said I was a winner
But not fast or quick enough to get it done
And if you had to ask an old girlfriend
I'd be nervous
Depending on which one

[Chorus:]
There's a few things they might say
At the mention of my name
The saint,the sinner the hopeless dreamer
Lord I just hope they don't forget
The singer

No my boss he'll say I'm hard headed
And my buddies they'll say I got their back
And college tried to call me a quitter
For knowing I was not cut out for that
Now my preacher he'll say I'm a believer
And proud to see I got things back on track

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
All I ask is that you don't misunderstand
I ain't' ever been much more than a music man

There's no telling what they'll say
When they put me in that grave
Maybe the saint, the sinner, the hopeless dreamer
Lord I just hope they don't forget
The singer
