Living In A Song
03:56
|

Well, I’ve been on this highway for about eight hours now
If I’m gonna make Ohio, better lay the hammer down
Tonight I’m in Toledo, tomorrow Baltimore
Well, all I thought I ever wanted I’m still looking for
Another sip of bourbon, another shot of reality
Every single mile I travel seems to take a year from me
Well, I look in the mirror, I don’t know who is standing there
All these lines on my face, and all the gray that’s in my hair
Sometimes the pain pours like rain out of these six strings
Leaning on the low notes when I’m too high to sing
Running hard with a soul that’s scarred
Wondering what went wrong
Chasin’ down my only dream living in a song
Hangin’ onto secrets every new day brings
Well, I wonder if my mama cries when she thinks of me
Livin’ from a suitcase and sleepin’ in the car
And scratchin’ out a living in another run down bar
Sometimes the pain pours like rain out of these six strings
Leaning on the low notes when I’m too high to sing
Running hard with a soul that’s scarred
Wondering what went wrong
Chasin’ down my only dream living in a song
Well, I’ve been on this highway for about eight hours now
If I’m gonna make Ohio, better lay the hammer down

Deeper Than A Dirt Road
03:19
|
|||
You can put those skyscrapers up in the air
Build those highways from here to there
You may dam up the streams just as much as you like
But nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road
Papaw he taught me how to drive
We’d head on down Route 35
On that old John Deere with the pedal to the floor
‘Cause nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road
The best part of my memories are dust clouds in the wind
And those summer days I threw away
Wish I could go back again
I know it like an old friend, no matter where I go
Well, nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road
She broke my heart, really got me down
When she moved away to that other town
But I’ll stay right here as long as I’m alive
‘Cause nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road
Not a day goes by that I don’t try
To go down to the river and look up at the sky
It’s where I’m from and it’s where I’ll die
‘Cause nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road
The best part of my memories are dust clouds in the wind
And those summer days I threw away
Wish I could go back again
I know it like an old friend, no matter where I go
Well, nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road
Well, nothing, I mean nothing, goes deeper than a dirt road

Backstreets Off Broadway
03:08
|
|||
He thumbed his way to Nashville back in ‘88
With a dream and a guitar to his name
He could sing like Elvis, well he could hardly wait
He could almost taste the fortune and fame
Music City is a town that can knock you down
And leave you in total despair
It can tear you apart and rip out your heart
And turn your dreams into nightmares
Now his home is on the backstreets off Broadway
Living out his dreams on nickels and dimes
When the Row told him no, he had nowhere to go
But the backstreets off Broadway and out of his mind
Well he tried and he tried in the years they went by
’Til he landed between 2nd and 3rd
He’s still there today making his way
And singing for all that he’s worth
Now his home is on the backstreets off Broadway
Living out his dreams on nickels and dimes
When the Row told him no, he had nowhere to go
But the backstreets off Broadway and out of his mind
When Music Row told him no, he had nowhere to go
But the backstreets off Broadway and out of his mind
He’s on the back streets off Broadway and out of his mind

Way Downtown
03:13
|

Way downtown foolin’ around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it’s oh my
No one to go my bail
Well, late last night when Willie came home
I heard him a-rapping at the door
He was slipping and a-sliding with his new shoes on
Papa said, “Willie, don’t you rap no more”
Way downtown foolin’ around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it’s oh my
No one to go my bail
Well, I wish I was over at my sweet Sally’s house
Sittin’ in her big armed chair
With one arm around my old guitar
The other one around my dear
Way downtown foolin’ around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it’s oh my
No one to go my bail
Well, it’s one old shirt is about all I’ve got
A dollar is all that I crave
I didn’t take nothin’ with me into this world
Gonna take nothin’ to my grave
Way downtown foolin’ around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it’s oh my
No one to go my bail
Way downtown foolin’ around
Took me to the jail
Oh me and it’s oh my
No one to go my bail
Oh me and it’s oh my
No one to go my bail

I’ve loved you half my life
And I know I’ll keep on loving you
But I’d give anything to make it through
But I’ve given all that I can take
Well, I knew this day would come
And I tried hard to hide my doubt
I’d give anything to work it out
But I’ve given all that I can take
At least I’ll have your memory
That’s the only thing you’ve given me
This ain’t the way that love’s supposed to be
With teardrops and heartaches
You’ve turn cold, and I don’t understand
This ain’t the happy life that we had planned
I’d give it all if I was still your man
But I’ve given all that I can take
At least I’ll have your memory
That’s the only thing you’ve given me
This ain’t the way that love’s supposed to be
With teardrops and heartaches
You’ve turn cold, and I don’t understand
This ain’t the happy life that we had planned
I’d give it all if I was still your man
But I’ve given all that I can take
I’d give it all if I was still your man
But I’ve given all that I can take

Moonshine Run
02:47
|
|||
About a half a mile down that river road
Just across the bridge where the preacher don’t go
There’s a field of corn standing six feet tall
Put it in a jar before the first snow falls
That river bridge cuts the town in two
Between the common day sinners and the chosen few
When the moonlight’s pale on the first cold night
I make my way over to the other side
Don’t let ‘em catch you haulin’ shine if you know what’s best
Or Sunday morning find you in jail with your name on a prayer request
Keep your foot hard on the pedal and your hand close to the gun
Hear me roarin’ down the valley on a moonshine run
Well, the Lord knows all, even what you hide
But the devil’s going to give you one hell of a ride
The Methodist wave makes the Baptist shiver
But you’re gonna see ‘em both down at the river
Don’t let ‘em catch you buyin’ shine if you know what’s best
Or Sunday morning find you in jail with your name on a prayer request
Keep your foot hard on the pedal and your hand close to the gun
Hear me roarin’ down the valley on a moonshine run
Well, that ole river rolls muddy and deep
And the law won’t find what all it keeps
Shotguns, bodies, rusty Chevrolets
They’re all at the bottom and there they’ll stay
Don’t let ‘em catch you haulin’ shine if you know what’s best
Or Sunday morning find you in jail with your name on a prayer request
Keep your foot hard on the pedal and your hand close to the gun
Hear me roarin’ down the valley on a moonshine run
Hear me roaring down the valley on a moonshine run

Just Because
03:22
|
|||
Just because it don’t come easy
Just because love can be hard
Long as we lean on each other
And keep reaching for the stars
Life can try to wear our hearts down
But here we belong
Holding onto each other
Waiting for the dawn
Just because tears may fall
We’re stronger just because
This house was built on faith and built on love
And we’ll always love each other just because
Just because we’ve had some hard times
Just because of those ups and downs
Never meant that we’d stopped trying
To find some higher ground
This world is full of heartaches
We’ve had a few
We faced them all together
And made it through
Just because tears may fall
We’re stronger just because
This house was built on faith and built on love
And we’ll always love each other just because
Just because tears may fall
We’re stronger just because
This house was built on faith and built on love
And we’ll always love each other just because
We’ll always love each other just because

Hey mister, can you tell me is the world still turning?
Has the moon disappeared?
Is the sun still burning?
Since my baby’s gone, my heart won’t stop hurtin’
Hey mister, can you tell me is the world still turning?
Hey mister, can you tell me is this all a nightmare?
If I wake up will she still be there?
I’ll buy the next round if you’re going nowhere
Hey mister, can you tell me is this all a nightmare?
Well, I’ve cried more tears than I thought I could cry
They flow like the river that never runs dry
If she’s gone forever and this is the end
How do I start over? How do I begin?
Hey mister, can you tell me is this purgatory?
The end of a chapter or the end of the story
Well, I’m closer to hell than living in glory
Hey mister, can you tell me is this purgatory?
I’ve cried more tears than I thought I could cry
They flow like the river that never runs dry
If she’s gone forever and this is the end
How do I start over? How do I begin?
Hey mister, can you tell me is the world still turning?
Has the moon disappeared?
Is the sun still burning?

Louisiana Woman
02:50
|
|||
My Louisiana woman sets the night on fire
Takes me halfway to heaven while the flame burns higher
I’d fight a gator, swim the Pontchartrain
For my Louisiana woman to take my name
My Louisiana woman
My Louisiana woman
Well I’d fight a gator, swim the Pontchartrain
For my Louisiana woman to take my name
My Louisiana woman got a wiggle when she walks
You know where she’s from when you hear her talk
I’d turn a canebrake rattler into gumbo stew
For my Louisiana woman to say I do
My Louisiana woman
My Louisiana woman
I’d turn a canebrake rattler into gumbo stew
For my Louisiana woman to say I do
My Louisiana woman got a sparkle in her eye
She’s a hurricane a’ brewin’ in a clear blue sky
I’d fight a big black bear with a Bowie knife
For my Louisiana woman to be my wife
My Louisiana woman
My Louisiana woman
I’d fight a big black bear with a Bowie knife
For my Louisiana woman to be my wife
My Louisiana woman
My Louisiana woman
Well, I’d fight a gator, swim the Pontchartrain
For my Louisiana woman to take my name
Well, I’d turn a canebrake rattler into gumbo stew
For my Louisiana woman to say I do

I thought I saw a carpenter coming down the road
He didn’t have a hammer, but he had a heavy load
He reached his nail-scarred hands and I caught a glimpse of home
When I saw the carpenter coming down the road
I thought I saw a carpenter dressed in only white
We had never met before, but I’ve known him my whole life
In his eyes I saw forgiveness like the stories I’d been told
When I saw the carpenter coming down the road
He said “I’m glad to see you, son, but now is not your time
You’ve got more roads to travel before you put your hand in mine”
He said, “No matter what’s ahead, you’ll never walk alone
I’ll always be beside you ‘til it’s time to come back home”
He said “I’m glad to see you, son, but now is not your time
You’ve got more roads to travel before you put your hand in mine”
He said, “No matter what’s ahead, you’ll never walk alone
I’ll always be beside you ‘til it’s time to come back home”
I thought I saw a carpenter coming down the road
He didn’t have a hammer, but he had a heavy load

Thanks for the good times
Thanks for the smiles
Thanks for the laughter
May it last a long, long while
Thanks for the sunshine, you keep my whole sky blue
Thank you for your love, dear, and thanks for being you
Well, thanks for being honest
When it’s hard to hear
Thanks for the butterflies
Every time you’re near
Thanks for forgiveness, yeah, thanks for being true
Thanks for sticking with me and thanks for being you
You’re the reason — you’re what I’m fighting for
I’m believing we’ll be together forevermore
Thanks for forever
You brighten every day
Thank you for never
Going a separate way
Thanks for putting heart and soul in everything you do
Thank you for your love, dear, and thanks for being you
Yeah, I thank you for your love, dear, and thanks for being you
