Hard Out Here

Well, after all these years of running 'round. Always flying high and falling down. I gotta get back to the way I was. Gonna turn it all 'round just because.

Grateful For Christmas

Well, we'd all had to wake up. For the birth of our Lord. My folks and my brother in an '82 Ford. We pulled in a drive-way filled up with cars. Old aunts and old uncles, Lord, I see stars.

Grand Parade

Another Sunday on the corner of the neighborhood. Leavin' worries right where they lie. I'm just peelin' off the labels and I'm feelin' good. A-watchin' all as life goes by.

Good Friends

We used to run around skippin' school and drinkin' beerOne drink and the good lord would get us out of hereBut now those days are gone, and everything has changedIt's all been turned around, everybody's rearranged.

Girl Downtown

There's a girl downtown with freckles on her nose Pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her clothes She's a real nice girl, pretty as a plate The boys call her Katie when they ask her on a date And who knows Katie?.

Faulkner Street

The record player's scratchin' out an old and dusty tune On the front porch, on a Sunday, on an Arky afternoon We were lyin' 'round like gypsies, thinkin' 'bout goin' to town And Jimmy's drinkin' whiskey straight and lyin' in the shade Jamie's dancin' round the kitchen with a glass of lemonade Lookin' like an angel who's never gonna touch the ground.

Drunken Poet's Dream

I got a woman who's wild as Rome. She likes bein' naked and gazed upon. She crosses a bridge, she sets in on fire. She lands like a bird on a telephone wire.

Down The Road Tonight

Thrift store cowboys, five and dime junkies. Red dirt plowboys, asphalt monkeys. Holy rollers, signal callers. Truck stop angels, backstreet brawlers.

Don't Let Me Fall

I've walked the highway since I can't remember I cut my poor family right down to the bone From the shadows of hell, to the winds of December Layed down with a stranger, woke up all alone.

Chances Are

Chances are I took the wrong turn. Every time I had a turn to take. And I guess I broke my own heart. Every chance I had a heart to break. . And it seems I spent my whole life.

Bye Bye Baby

You laughed and called me lucky. For having you around. And you stepped up to the bar. And stated swaying. . The crowd all sang of failures. We drank another round.

Bottle In My Hand

Well, I followed my feet all across this land. A tune in my heart and a bottle in my hand. From the cold, cold East to the woods out West. Ain't no home, just lucky I guess.

Beaumont

Bad Liver And A Broken Heart

Well, I got a bad liver and a broken heart. Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart. And I don't have a drinking problem, except when I can't get a drink.

Another Like You

You were smokin' on a cigarette. Talkin' about the deficit. Putting all them wild boys down. Like a drunken Mona Lisa. Or the leanin' tower of Pisa. You're hanging off the edge of town.

A Lover Like You

You came a ragin'. At my front door. You said, "Hey, I never see you no more.". You broke a window. And you climbed on through. I could never be friends with a lover like you.

Big Rock Candy Mountain

One evening as the sun went down. And the jungle fires were burning,. Down the track came a hobo hiking,. And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning;. . I'm headed for a land that's far away.

Your Mother Is Praying For You

Words & Music by C.E. Snow. . Nights may be long, skies may be gray,. Maybe you're worried and blue.. Fear not noble soldier, you've the whole world to gain,.

Your Little Band Of Gold

Words & Music by C.E. Snow. . On the raging field of battle in a dugout dark and cold. Lies a soldier in tears and wracked with pain.. We gathered close beside him as our Captain said a prayer,.

You're The Reason

(Walking the floor feeling so blue losing sleep over you). I lay here at night toss and I turn loving you so how my heart yearns. Honey you're the reason I don't sleep at night.
