"Crying Ain't Dying"

"Crying Ain't Dying"


First he said he loved you he promised he'd be true
Then he was unfaithful word got back to you
Tonight when he came calling you wouldn't let him in
Now your tears are falling and you swear they'll never end
But crying ain't dying losing ain't forever
It's kind of like the weather it changes everyday
You learned yourself a lesson bout loving and lying
But you will live to love again cause crying ain't dying
[ guitar ]
Even though he hurt you he's still the one you want
You're gonna feel that way till the day you don't
You can pull the shades down grieve what's gone before
But you can't keep tomorrow from walking through that door
But crying ain't dying...
[ guitar ]
You learned yourself a lesson bout loving and lying
But you will never love again crying ain't dying
You will never love again cause crying ain't dying

"Dancin' To Sweet 17"

"Dancin' To Sweet 17"


He grew up in the sunset
The wind at his back
He longed to remember
Somethings in our past
We're both over 30, but still seventeen
Just trying to hold on to some old high school dream

[Chorus]
Well therey've been women and lovers
Lots of miles in between
There've been barrooms,and bedrooms
And lots of nights with Jim Beam
Been tequila sunrises, times which I wish I'd never seen
But it's hard to act 30 when your dancin to sweet 17

Now theres 2 wives and 6 kids
And miles in between us
And no time for us anymore
Oh the wild nites and barfights
And ditches and blue lights
Are a million dark nites from before

[Repeat Chorus]

No it's hard to act 30 when your dancing to sweet 17

"Dear Lord"

"Dear Lord"


Lord You know that I'm no saint
But there is alot of things A aint.
I Aint the smartest guy around
Or the toughest guy in town.
I'm just the way that I was made
There maybe more that I could be
But I am proud of being me.
I know the worth of an honest day
Give him the Glory when I pray.
Thats all he ask I do believe

I've got people that I love
and blue skies above.
And a rainbow promise some time ago
I've got children still to raise
and songs to sing in praise.
For the gift of life and love that we all know
There is all of this and more I'm thankful for
Dear Lord.

We are but a grain of sand in time
The mark we make, we leave behind
If only in the hearts and minds of those we touched

I've got people that I love
and blue skies above.
And a rainbow promise some time ago
I've got children still to raise
and songs to sing in praise.
For the gift of life and love that we all know
There is all of this and more I'm thankful for
Dear Lord.

There is all of this and more I'm thankful for
Dear Lord.

"Different Man"

"Different Man"


Who knows what I'm doing here tonight on this barstool
As if I didn't know where I should be
Through the darkness of the dim neon and lonely shade of blue
The light is a mighty hard thing to see but sittin' here it just occurred to me
I was the man she counted on to do her right Lord she was wrong
I was the man who wasn't there who made it seem he didn't care
Now she needs someone to hold her to make her feel alive
And she'll be with a different man tonight

I can't believe I turned my back on the love there in her heart
And turned away from those tears there in her eyes
Now I know where I belong is right there in her arms
Though it took so long for me to see the light
I'm leaving here a different man tonight
I was the man she counted on...
[ guitar ]
Now she needs someone to hold her and make her feel alive
She'll be with a different man tonight oh she'll be with a different man tonight

"Don't Talk To See Me That Way"

"Don't Talk To See Me That Way"


Lately I've been seeing a certain glow upon your face
But I know I'm not the reason you wear that different smile these days
Though you haven't said you're leavin' darling I've already heard
And don't you know your silence is talking louder than your words
Don't talk to me that way cause it's my heart that's being broken
Goodbye still hurts the same even if it goes unspoken
You're tearing me apart with everything that you don't say
There's so much I haven't heard and that's less than I deserve
Don't talk to me that way
[ steel ]
Why can't you lay it on the line and say you found somebody new
I can't take the silence as well as I can take the truth
And I don't want you here beside me if that's not where you want to be
But you ain't said a single word and that's not enough for me
Don't talk to me that way cause that ain't no stranger's heart that's being broken
Goodbye still hurts the same even if it goes unspoken
You're tearing me apart with everything that you don't say
There's so much I haven't heard and that's less than I deserve
Don't talk to me that way
There's so much I haven't heard that's less than I deserve
Don't talk to me that way

"Every Prayer"

"Every Prayer"


The Rain falls sweet Jesus
The farmers beets and beans sure need it.
It will take every single drop you've got
To save those fields.

Truck stop in Arizona,
Teen runaway from Oklahoma
Let the next stranger that picks her up
Has angels' wheels.

[chorus]
There they are lookin' up
Wonderin' if he's watchin' over us and
Oh please can you give us a little sign
Down here it is day to day.
The tug of war
Of fear and faith
But even when their hope is fading
He hears every prayer their praying.

Waiting room down at St. Judes
Mom and Dad sure could use a little good news.
Maybe a spare miracle is only 8 years old

[chorus]
There they are looking up wonderin'
If he is watching over us and
Oh please can you give us a little sign
Down here it is day to day.
The tug of war
Of fear and faith
And even when their hope is fading
He hears every prayer their praying.
All we need is a little time

Down here it is day to day.
The tug of war
Of fear and faith
And even when their hope is fading
He hears every prayer their praying.

The world turns like a top
with a hum of the voices that dont ever stop
But he hears, yeah, He always hears
Every prayer their praying
Every prayer their praying
Every prayer their praying

"Everywhere But Hollywood"

"Everywhere But Hollywood"


full count three runs down bottom of the ninth
two outs gone three men on they all roll their eyes
its tiny's chance to prove them wrong and come out like a king
he bites his lip here comes the pitch with all his heart he swings
strike three

single mom best dress on
another blind date
first time in a long time she stayed out that late
a perfect night that ended with a tender porch light kiss
she really thought they hit it off and he would call again
he never did

[chorus]
everywhere you go
you see the faces of reality
things dont always go the way we thought they would
theres victories and broken dreams that never make the silver screen
real life scenes everywhere you look
yeah everywhere
everywhere but hollywood

hes working late she said she'd stay and help him out again
somethings shes got just wont stop its starting to get to him
just before he loses track of wrong and whats right
he sees an 8 by 10 of two great kids and him and his wife
and he calls it a night

[chorus]

theres victories and broken dreams that never make the silver screen
real life scenes everywhere you look
yeah everywhere
everywhere
oh everywhere
everywhere but hollywood
yeah everywhere but hollywood

"Excitable Boy"

"Excitable Boy"


I was one or two just lying in my crib
Shaking that rattle like I always did
Susie strolled in that little girl next door
Next thing you know we were rolling on the floor
Mama came a runnin' to her little pride and joy
Said bless his little heart he's an excitable boy

High school redneck rebel to the bone
Running eighty miles an hour in a thirty mile zone
Steal a little kiss skip a little school
Break another heart bend another rule
Cop tells the principal he's only making noise
Cut the kid some slack he's an excitable boy

I've been a renegade since the day I was born I get a little carried away
Never meant to do nobody no harm I gotta rock it I can't stop it
I ain't about to change
[ fiddle - guitar ]
Parking with my darling fogging up the glass
Slipping cross the truck seat tryin' to make a pass
My baby said stop we gotta take it slow
But you know me I'm always raring to go
It's the way I am I don't have no choice
What can I say I'm an excitable boy
I've been a renegade since the day I was born...
What can I say I'm an excitable boy what can I say I'm an excitable boy
[ guitar - piano ]
Ah you know I just can't help myself it's just the way I am

"Find Out Who Your Friends Are"

"Find Out Who Your Friends Are"


Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Or get yourself in a bind,
Lose the shirt off your back,
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare...

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think
"What's in it for me?"
Or "It's way too far"
They just show on up
With their big ol' heart
You find out who your friends are...

Everybody wants to slap your back
Wants to shake your hand
When you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way
Then you slide back down
Look up and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off.

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think
"What's in it for me?"
Or "It's way too far"
They just show on up
With their big ol' heart
You find out who your friends are...

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there?

You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think
"What's in it for me?"
Or "It's way too far"
They just show on up
With their big ol' heart
You find out who your friends are...

You find out who your friends are...

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Man I been there
Or get yourself in a bind
Lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare...
Man I been there
Man I been there...

Gonna take you to another world

Wave goodbye when we pass mars
The sky ain't the limit girl 'cause there's footprints on the moon
Woah, woah, yeah
