"For The Love"

"For The Love"


He takes all this criticism from those who never played the game
No matter how hard they hit him he keeps on playing through the pain
When they lose he takes the blame
Old number nine

[Chorus:]
For the love they live for the love they die
No higher calling in this life
There's nothing they can't rise above
Cause it's not about rich it's not about poor
Counting the cost and keeping score
They do it for the love

I know this cop in Cincinatti
Born into money and prestige
He could be living off of Daddy
But instead he's out there on the beat
Protecting serving you and me
Badge forty fifty seven

[Chorus]

He's in your heart he's your best friend
He won't break no he won't bend
Look around you'll see he's in each of us

[Chorus]

We all do it for the love

"From Here To Kingdom Come"

"From Here To Kingdom Come"


You can move to another town take everything I ever gave you
Call when you're feeling down tell me everything I never listened to
What a sad affair I'm here and you're way out there
Now your friends say you did the right thing you were never meant to be a wife
And their expert opinions may bring you to making up your mind for life
What a tragic night truth ain't always such a blinding light
I can love you from here to Texas I can find you in Tennessee
You can run from here to Kingdom come but you can't run away from me

You can stand by your innocent line and pretend that things are better now
But there's a flaw in your perfect design you'd fix it but you don't know how
Baby I can drive I can keep it on the road as long as I'm alive
I can love you from here to Texas...

I could find you in California or any place that you might be
You can run from here to Kingdom come but you can't run away from me
[ guitar ]

"From The Inside Out"

"From The Inside Out"


She was always there takin' care of me
And I never took the time to look close enough to see
That taking her for granted was taking it's toll
I ran the race for me she went an extra mile for us
I kept hammerin' away at the solid rock of trust
If I was burnin' my last chance I never saw the smoke
Now she never let it show from the outside looking in nobody could've known
She didn't cry she didn't shout I was blind but I see now
She was breaking from the inside out

I was seldom there even when I was around
If I'd seen the signs back then maybe she would be here now
I never knew that she was leaving till the day she said goodbye
Now she never let it show...
[ steel ]
She didn't cry she didn't shout...
She was breaking from the inside out

"From What We Give"

"From What We Give"


Johnny Baker works down at the mill
Makes enough to make ends meet and pay his bills
Even though he comes from the wrong side of the tracks
He's the first on there to lend a hand or give the shirt right off his back
From what we give we make a living those dollars diamonds and gold
But that old cliche is a given you reap what you sow
When you reach out your hand and your heart then your soul is satisfied
From what we give we make a living from what we give we make a life

Mr Miller's got a mansion on the hill
He spent his whole life chasing that almighty dollar bill
But all his so-called riches somethings missing in his soul
It takes more than havin' everything to make a man feel whole
From what we give we make a living...
[ guitar ]
When you reach out your hand...
What we give we make a living from what we give we make a life

"Froze Over"

"Froze Over"


She just closed the door
And tonite the heartaches begin
I've lost the key to heaven
And my angel just wont let me in

Well I begged and pleaded down on my knees
To a heart that has turned as cold as ice
She once swore she loved me
Till hell froze over
Well hell just froze over tonite

She said i love you darlin till death do us part
And I said i do too darlin with all of my heart
Hand and hand together, forever, we'd walk side by side
But i took her for granted
Took too many chances, until her love for me died

She just closed the door
And tonite the heartaches begin
I've lost the key to heaven
And my angel just won't let me in

Well i begged and pleaded down on my knees
To a heart that has turned cold as ice
She once swore she loved me till hell froze over
Well hell just froze over tonite

She once swore she loved me till hell froze over
Well hell just froze over tonite

"Getting Back Up"

"Getting Back Up"


My heart is spent my pride bent her love is gone and who knows where it went
And everyday is one more day little steps that I can barely take
They say falling out of love's the hardest thing you'll ever do but it's not true
It may be the fall that brings you to your knees
Yeah the losing it all leaves you weak
Yeah your heart drops and your world stops when you're falling out of love
Well it's not the fall that's so hard it's the gettin' back up

I was OK at first then it started to hurt
And the gettin' better just kept gettin' worse
But as bad as it's been I'm not givin' in slowly but surely I'm finding my feet again
Every minute's one more minute I just made it through that's the best I can do
It may be the fall...
[ steel ]
Your heart drops...

"God Made Woman On A Good Day"

"God Made Woman On A Good Day"


The sun smiled down all the clouds rolled away
God made woman on a good day
[ guitar ]
Legs long legs atretchin' all the way up from the ground to her thin waist
She looks so fine walkin' this way God made woman on a good day
Hips feminine hips she's got silky hair sexy eyes soft pink lips
A seein' all of that all that I can say is God made woman on a good day
Some like to cook some like to dance but every one of them likes a little romance
He made 'em all great in different ways something for a boy to appreciate

She's got sense got common sense
Like a bee handles honey she saves that money before it's all spent
Now there goes the reason that the bills get paid God made woman on a good day
Some like to cook some like to dance...
Oh God made woman on a good day
[ guitar ]
Might have been a Monday Tuesday I don't know
Could have been a Saturday night
From her toes to her head whe he finished he said
God made woman on a good day

"God's Green Earth"

"God's Green Earth"


I shook off the blame and said some things when I should've bit my tongue
My foolish pride made the knot we tied come undone
I've got more regrets than blades of grass that cover up this dirt
On this big old ball we all call God's Green Earth
Oh your memory has colored me lonely tonight
My eyes are red from the tears I have cried
I'm heartbroke and blue sittin' on a world of hurt
Down here on God's Green Earth
[ fiddle ]
It's a fact if you don't come back can't live without your love
I'll do anything for another drink from that cup
Without you girl it's true I got a powerful thirst
That can't be drowned by all the water found on God's Green Earth
Oh your memory has colored me...
[ steel - guitar ]
Oh your memory has colored me...
I'm heartbroke and blue sittin' on a world of hurt
Down here on God's Green Earth
[ fiddle + banjo ]

"Good Girl"

"Good Girl"


She was a true as a verse in King James Bible,
And just as pretty as a sparrow’s song
She was tender as the pedals on a fresh picked flower
And honest as a summer day is long
What a good girl…
She wore innocence around like a new born child
Softest smile you’ve ever seen
All her friends tried to tell her I was too damn wild
I still don’t know what she saw in me
What a good girl

Good girl give me everything I wanted
Her sweet heart has my thumb print on it
Like a careless joker I broke her world
What I give just to turn back time
Get it all I can make her all mine
I want one more time with My Good Girl

She use to like holding hands when we’d go walking
She loved laying all over me
She looked up to the heavens sometimes we when were talking
And tell me bout all her dreams
What a Good girl

Good girl give me everything I wanted
Her sweet heart has my thumb print on it
Like a careless joker I broke her world
What I give just to turn back time
And get it all I can make her all mine
I want one more time with My Good Girl

Such a sweet girl
A Change your whole life kind of girl

Good girl give me everything I wanted
Her sweet heart has my thumb print on it
Like a careless joker I broke her world
What I give just to turn back time
And get it all I can make her all mine
I want one more time with My Good Girl

My Good Girl…
One more try, one more try, one more try….

"Guilt Trip"

"Guilt Trip"


Don't need no Atlas where I'm goin' ain't up to me
I'm just a passenger ridin' with an old memory
I can stay in my pajamas lay here on the couch alone
I won't need my keys ain't gonna be leaving the comforts of my own home
Cause I'm going on a guilt trip dragging all the baggage she left behind
Going on a guilt trip my heart's at the wheel and it's driving me out of my mind
We're making record time I'm going on a guilt trip
[ guitar ]
I never know when I'm leavin' or when I'll be comin' back
I might go any time a guilty conscience is always packed
Just because you're looking at me don't assume that I'm all there
In the blink of an eye I'll go back in time and I can leave from anywhere
Cause I'm going on a guilt trip...
[ fiddle ]
Yeah I'm going on a guilt trip...
I'm going yeah on a guilt trip (going on a guilt trip)
I'm going yeah on a guilt trip
