"Blue Christmas"

"Blue Christmas"



I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, dear, if you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurting
You'll be doing all all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doing all all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doing all all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

"Branded Man"
(originally by Merle Haggard)



I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am,
But they won't let my secret go untold.
I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied,
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold.

When they let me out of prison, I held my head up high,
Determined I would rise above the shame.
No matter where I travel, the black mark follows me,
I'm branded with a number on my name.

I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am,
But they won't let my secret go untold.
I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied,
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold.

If I live to be a hundred, I guess I'll never clear my name,
'Cause everybody knows I've been in jail.
No matter where I'm living, I've got to tell them where I've been,
They'll send me back to prison if I fail.

I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am,
But they won't let my secret go untold.
I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied,
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold.
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold.

"Bread And Water"

"Bread And Water"



One night he wandered into that old mission
The one out on the poor side of town
He really had no interest in salvation
Just a place to lay his drunk ole body down

He said, Ma’am I sure am hungry
And I don’t have a penny to my name
Lord knows I hadn’t worked in a month of Sundays
I’m dirty, dead broke and so ashamed

I need bread and water, ma’am that’s all I need
Bread and water, and a place to rest my feet
I ain’t too proud to get down on my knees
For bread and water’s free

She said, you’re always welcome at this table
Said, brother you look like you could use a friend
And there’s no need to pay if you’re not able
Cause even Jesus was a homeless Man

Well she opened up the Word and started reading
About the Savior and the woman at the well
Said it ain’t for me to judge this life you’re leading
There’s only two things can save your soul from hell

It’s bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water’s free

When he bowed his head he kinda choked up
They spoke every word of Our Lord’s Prayer
He closed his eyes and never woke up
He’ll find bread and water waiting there

Bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet

Bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, brother just believe
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water’s free
Bread and water’s free

"Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song)"

"Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song)"



We have traveled Many moonless nights
Cold and weary With a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father You have come
And chosen my love
To carry your son

I am waiting
In a silent prayer
I am troubled
By the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now

Beath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Beath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For You are holy
Breath of Heaven

Do You wonder
As watch my face
If a wiser one
Should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

Beath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Beath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For You are holy
Breath of Heaven

Beath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Beath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For You are holy
Breath of Heaven

Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven

"But I Do"
(originally by Buck Owens)

"But I Do"
(originally by Buck Owens)



Do you long for someone's arms like I do
Do you wish that you were here like I do
Do you think our love would last if we'd forget about the past
Do I want our love to live yes I do.

I didn't think that I'd miss you but I do
I didn't think I'd feel lonely but I do
I didn't think that everyday would be so long while you're away
I didn't think that I'd love you but I do.

Do you wish that God would bind us like I do
Do you wish that joy would find us like I do
If you wish that you could spend life with me until the end
Then you'd feel our love like I do.

I didn't think that I'd miss you but I do
I didn't think I'd feel lonely but I do
I didn't think that everyday would be so long while you're away
I didn't think that I'd love you but I do.

"Buttermilk John"

"Buttermilk John"


Now Buttermilk John played the steel guitar
It made a mournful sound
From the cotton fields of Arkansas
To the streets of that Nashville town

[Chorus]
Oh John, oh John, play all night long
Play till my tears run dry
Oh John, oh John, play one last song
Before you take that final ride

Now Buttermilk John sure loved Miss Jean
She never left his side
Was the sweetest love I’ve ever seen
The Holy Bible was their guide

[Repeat Chorus]

Now Buttermilk John was a godly man
I loved him like a son
Now he’s gone on to the Glory Land
With Jesus he, he will run

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh John, oh John, play one last song
Before you take that final ride

"Cinderella"

"Cinderella"


Say you're sorry
You still care
She came by my place again
Cryin' about you man
You should love her
Twice as much
I try to remember you're a friend
But it's gettin' a little rough

[1st Chorus:]
She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
You better be careful 'Cause the next time she comes to my door
She won't be a Cinderella no more

A teardrop trembled
On her face
Where that smile always was
It seemed out of place
And when I held her
Like a friend
I could feel a sweet beginning
But taste a bitter end

[2nd Chorus:]
She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
You better be careful 'Cause the next time she comes to my door
You'll be sorry

'Cause it seems like
It's always something with you
And everybody's always wrong
One of these nights
You'll reach for the pillow she sleeps on
And she's gonna be gone

[2nd Chorus]

"Cold Gray Light Of Gone"
(feat. The Del McCoury Band)

"Cold Gray Light Of Gone"
(feat. The Del McCoury Band)



I woke up this morning long before the dawn
I stumbled to the kitchen and put some coffee on
The hose was deathly quiet, I knew something was wrong
Then suddenly it dawned on me
The cold gray light of gone

[Chorus:]
No there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone
Waking up and finding out she's never coming home
The note that said it's over
Lord it chills me to the bone
No there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone

I cried and cried for hours and I tried to clear my head
I even went and laid back down on her side of the bed
Her perfume lingered on the sheets
Our love once laid upon
Her memory's destroying me
In the cold gray light of gone

[Chorus 2x]

No there's nothin' quite as lonely
As the cold gray light of gone

"Colder Than Winter"

"Colder Than Winter"



It's colder than winter
Right here in my heart
Lord I'm gonna miss her
She's torn me apart

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

It's colder than winter
I'm freezing inside
And my tears won't be bitter
Even though our love died

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

Every time the sun sets
I shed another tear
And the lonelier I get
Wishing you were still here

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

"Cowboy Up"
(feat. Gretchen Wilson)

"Cowboy Up"
(feat. Gretchen Wilson)



I'm putting on my favorite cowboy boots
Like a crazy bull rider coming out of the chute
Ready for some dancin', maybe too much beer
Like bare-back rubbin' going on in here

Hey little cowgirl leave the Stetson on
Let's cowboy up and down all night long

She said her name was Levitra Marcantonio
I'm a bare back rider, Okie, don't you know
These frozen margaritas are going to my head
I could not believe it when Levitra said

Hey mister cowboy come on and take me home
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night long

All night long you're coming on strong
All night long come and do me wrong

Hey little cowgirl leave just your Stetson on
Gonna cowboy up and down, honey, all night long

Hey little cowgirl leave just your Stetson on
Gonna cowboy up and down till Levitra's gone
