"Just You And Me"

"Just You And Me"


Baby take off your coat we ain't in no hurry
I see the fear in your eyes but girl don't you worry
I'll keep the candles lit all night so you'll know everything's all right
We've got everything we need and it's just you and me
I've got the covers turned down come lay here beside me
Oh baby let down your hair and your doubts about me
I'm gonna make you feel tonight like you've never felt in your life
We've got everything we need and it's just you and me
There ain't no one around and the only sound is your heart beating next to mine
Cast your fears in the fire give into your desire put your faith into me
Cause I've got everything we need and it's just you and me
[ guitar ]
There ain't no one around...
Oh baby let down your hair and your doubts about me

"Lessons Learned"

"Lessons Learned"


I was ten years old the day I got caught
With some dime store candy, that I never bought
I hung my head and I faced the wall
As daddy showed me wrong from right
He said this hearts me more than it does you
There's some things son, that you just don't do
Is anythings I'm sayin getting through
Is daddy I can see the light

Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh there's no way around it
'Cause this world turns
on lessons learned

Granddaddy was a man I loved
He bought me my first ball and glove
Even taught me how to drive this truck
Circling that ol' town square
He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl
I never heard him, 'cause I knew it all
But I sure listened when I got the call
That he was no longer there

Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh there's no way around it
'Cause this world turns
on lessons learned

Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh there's no way around it
'Cause this world turns
on lessons learned

"Lie"

"Lie"


I heard you saw her last night
at that dive down in Jamestown
I haven't seen her since the 4th of July
Did you get a chance to talk, did she mention me at all
Was she there alone or with some other guy

Well, I'm dying to know
but I'm scared of the truth
So before you say a word
Consider what this heart's been through, and

And lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing
Just lie - if she's with someone else I just can't take it
Tell me she looked sad and lonely
Tell me she's been missing me like crazy
Yeah, just look me in the eye and lie

Was she over by the jukebox
playing songs we used to dance to
Staring at the door sipping makers on the rocks
Did she ask you where I've been
Was she hoping I'd walk in
Just take her by the hand
and pick up right where we left off

Well, I know shes moving on and its killing me to see
And the words you want to say are strong enough to be the death of me,

So lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing
Just lie - if she's with someone else I just can't take it
Tell me she looked sad and lonely
Tell me she's been missing me like crazy
Yeah, just look me in the eye and lie

Cause I cant throw away the dreams we've shared
Ive tried reaching out but she don't care
It's pretty clear, but I ain't ready to let go,

So lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing
Just lie - if she's with someone else
then lie - don't tell me that she looked amazing
Just Lie - if she's with someone else I just can't take it
Tell me she looked sad and lonely
Tell me she's been missing me like crazy
Yeah, just look me in the eye and lie

"Life Don't Have To Be So Hard"

"Life Don't Have To Be So Hard"


Don't want to read the paper or turn on the news
Don't want another helpin' of the same old blues
Don't want to call nobody or answer the phone
What I want is everybody to leave us alone
Let us sit down in the porch swing sip a little ice tea
Play with the kids in the yard
It's time to get lazy had enough crazy
Life ain't gotta be so hard oh life don't have to be so hard

Want to stop and smell the roses I don't want to run
Want to catch up on the talkin' that we haven't done
The only big decision that I wanna make
Is do we take this conversation down to the lake
Or do we sit down in the porch swing...

More time with you less time for worry more slowing down less in a hurry
So we can sit down in the porch swing...
[ guitar - dobro ]

"Livin' In Black And White"

"Livin' In Black And White"


This makin' a livin' is killing me I work like a dog in this hot factory
Can't even afford a vacation when I've got the time
But I've got road maps of Mexico brochures and pictures of places to go
Dreaming in color livin' in black and white
I can drink margaritas with sweet senoritas work on my tropical tan
Dangle my feet in the crystal blue waters lay in the snow white sand
Well I've never been down to Mexico but I'm gonna go there tonight
I'm dreaming in color livin' in black and white
[ guitar ]
I'd like to buy a new Cadillac build me a house with a pool out back
And eat at the country club every Saturday night
But there ain't much pay in my ol' paycheck
But I'll win the lotta one day I bet
I'm dreaming in color livin' in black and white
I can drink margaritas...
Oh oh I'm dreaming in color livin' in black and white

"Lonely"

"Lonely"


There's a red brick in a white wall
Somebody's brush forgot to paint so it sits there all alone
Like a hopeful sinner who finally goes to church
She don't sit among the Christians cause she questions her own worth oh she's lonely
Lonely like the way you left me nothing I know's gonna get me through losing you
The worst of loves analogies are tangled up inside of me
But the only one that brings me to my knees is lonely

There's a man in his own prison with a crime nobody knows
He has sentenced himself to life with no pardon or parole oh he's lonely
Lonely like the way you left me...
[ guitar ]
Lonely like the way you left me...
Oh oh lonely
I'm a red brick in a white wall somebody's brush forgot to paint lonely

"Long Wet Kiss"

"Long Wet Kiss"


If I was lost on the ocean stranded in the middle of the sea
I'd have to live on devotion hopin' that you'd rescue me
If I was nearin' the end and runnin' out of time
The only thing that would keep me alive
It's your long wet kiss in the mornin that I can't resist
Can't deny it when it feels like this there's nothin' more I would miss
Than your long wet kiss
[ guitar ]
Some men are driven by diamonds some they are drawn to gold
I could live life on desire with only your body to hold
If I was pushed to the edge and had to offer my life
Darling I would pay any price I wouldn't think twice
It's your long wet kiss...
[ guitar ]
It's your long wet kiss...

"Man I Was"

"Man I Was"


Look at me in that photograph before we were ever us
Long before you found someone else and broke our sacred trust
I hardly recognize myself sure has been a while
Amazing how much my life has changed since I've worn that smile
What happened to that smile
There I am with my head held high my step was quick and my eyes were bright
Back when I believed in love and would lay my heart on the line
I don't know which hurts the worst losing you or having to see
The picture of the man I was before the fool you made of me

I've wasted time here missing you doubting who I am
I can't make you something you're not but I can be me again
Oh deep down I know I can
There I am with my head held high...
I want to be the man I was before the fool you made of me

 

[fox69]

"Meant To Be"

"Meant To Be"


A crowded room a sudden glance more than just coincidence
Meant to be you and me
To see the look that's in your eyes makes the tears well up in mine
Destiny now I can see
Some things are just meant to be
Just like sunsets moonlight stars that shoot across the sky at night
All that I am faithfully
I give everything cause some things are just meant to be

More than chance or circumstance
I never thought two hearts could dance so pefrectly
Just like you and me
And even when we're old and gray I'll love you more than I do today
Eternity can't you see
Some things are just meant to be...
[ steel ]
Oh some things are just meant to be...

"My Second Home"

"My Second Home"


There's a honky tonk on the edge of town I used to call my second home
It's a place I'd go just to get away when I wanted to be alone
Well early one morning had a fight with my darling that went from bad to worse
It ended when she said your second home just became your first
Now the jukebox is my alarm clock I wake up in a corner booth
I don't have a tab don't need no cab cause the dance floor's my living room
Well I might die from a broken heart but I'll never die of thirst
Now that my second home has become my first
[ dobro - fiddle ]
Well I don't have to pay no mortgage I don't have to mow no lawn
A lot of frieds come see me some stay till the break of dawn
I can paint the town without leavin' the house I can feel good till it hurts
Now that my home sweet second home just became my first
Now the jukebox is my alarm clock...
Lord now that my second home has become my first
