Young Man’s Dream

I left my home when I was 17

My feet were dirty but my soul was clean

I was looking for a young man’s dream...it seems

 

I found her living up in Illinois

She brought me sorrow and she brought me joy

Treated me just like a rubber toy...Oh boy

 

Don’t take long to fall in love

Take a little time to get back where you're from

Looking at the world through electric eyes

Feel like I died...woke up in paradise

 

Life is over fore it all begins

If you’re looking for a way back in

You can say you knew me way back when...Back when

 

Don’t take long to fall in love

Take a little time to get back where you're from

Looking at the world through electric eyes

Feel like I died...woke up in paradise

 

I left my home when I was 17

My feet were dirty but my soul was clean

I’m still looking for that young man’s dream...it seems

 

The Well

When I was just a young’n bouncin on my momma’s knee

She said son there’s only one thing that sets your soul free

Wasn’t no easy street where I come from

And there wasn't no sleep until the work was done

 

Papa was preaching ‘bout the fires of of hell

If you want a drink of water got to go to the well

Cornerstone church tried to curse my soul

But the good lord gave me that rock and roll

 

Let the spirit pull me under, to the bottom of the well

You wanna live forever but you never can tell

So one for the money, To another show

3 for the father, son and Holy Ghost

 

Wildflowers & Wine

Wild flowers and wine

An old scratchy record

Plays in the background of our lives

We’re still here dancing after all this time

Wild flowers and wine

 

I walk through fields of evergreen

Golden sun like I’ve never seen

I picked them one at a time

Wild flowers and wine

 

No I can’t help it

Feeling the way I do

I know you feel it

Feel it the same way too

No I can’t help it

You’re all I need tonite

You know I mean it

When I look in your eyes

 

Wild flowers and wine

An old scratchy record

Plays in the background of our lives

We’re still here dancing after all this time

Wild flowers and wine

 

Well I can’t help it

Feeling the way I do

I know you feel it

Feel it the same way too

No I can’t help it

You’re all I need tonite

You know I mean it

When I look, look in your eyes

 

Wild flowers and cheap red wine

An old scratchy record

Plays in the background of our lives

We’re still out here dancing after all this time

Wild flowers and wine

 

We’re still out here dancing after all this time

Wild flowers, wild flowers and wine

 

One Day She’s Here

Pretty little girl in a coup deville

Saw her disappear up across the hill

One day here now the next she’s gone

Didn’t even get to hear me sing my song

 

Had her for a minute but she slipped away

Sadder than a wedding on a rainy day

One day here and the next you're gone

Stayed just long enough to turn me on

 

She disappears just like the dawn

One day she’s here, the next she’s gone

 

Probably never find another one like her

Now the only thing that I know for sure

One day here and the next she gone

She’s the kinda likes to keep moving on

 

She disappears just like the dawn

One day she’s here, the next she’s gone

 

She disappears just like the dawn

One day she’s here, the next she’s gone

 

She disappears just like the dawn

One day she’s here, the next she’s gone

 

Sweet Mariona

Sweet Mariona,

long as I’ve known ya

You were the apple of my eye

All the stars in my sky...I adore ya

 

Sweet Mariona,

From California

To the heavens above

I can still feel your love

Growing stronger

 

Over the rainbow, I know that you know

Whenever you cross my mind

The sun’s gonna shine,

 

Sweet Mariona,

sometimes without warning

I can hear you in the wind

Coming back to me again and again

 

Over the rainbow, I know that you know

Whenever you cross my mind

The sun’s gonna shine,

 

Sweet Mariona,

I’ll never forget you

From the moment I met you

You knew how to get to my heart

 

From the moment I met you

You knew how to get to my heart

 

Beautiful Stranger

Beautiful stranger

You come here quite here often

I don’t know your name

But I know what you drink

 

You got a secret

But it’s one you can’t keep

Oh beautiful stranger

You’re an angel to me

 

If you’re feeling lonely

Come sit next to me

We’ll find a slow song

To dance to, and strangers

No longer we’ll be

 

Beautiful stranger

So lovely tonite

Could it be my future

That I see in your eyes

 

Take me to heaven

And do as you please

Beautiful stranger

You’re an angel to me

 

Beautiful stranger

You come here quite here often

I don’t know your name

But I know what you drink

You got a secret

That you can’t keep

Beautiful stranger

You are like an angel to me

 

Beautiful stranger

You are like an angel to me

 

Break

I don’t know darlin’ who’s name you’re calling

But don’t you mistake him for me

You’re falling apart, but don’t let your heart

Break for nobody but me

 

Got us all guessin’, who’ll you’ll be blessing

Everyone’s waiting to see

You think you’re so smart, But don’t let your heart

Break for nobody but me

 

Funny how this town will forget you

Sooner or later you’ll see

I’ll always be there to catch you

If somebody’s shaking your tree

Don’t let your heart

Break for nobody but me

 

Funny how this town will forget you

Sooner or later you’ll see

I’ll always be there to catch you

If somebody’s shaking your tree

Where are you going at four in the morning

You think that I’m fast asleep

Alone in the dark

But don’t let your heart

Break for nobody but me

Alone in the dark

But don’t let your heart

Break for nobody, break for nobody, break for nobody but me

 

Say You Will

Say you will, say you will

I got your number

I won’t stop until

You say you will, say you will

We could roll like thunder

If you say you will

 

On my way from Greenville, SC

Makin my way to Nashville, Tennessee

Spinning my wheels like my favorite LP

I’m on empty, until you tell me

 

Say you will, say you will

I got your number

I won’t stop until

You say you will, say you will

We could roll like thunder

If you say you will

 

Engine burnin’, highway’s singing

Keep on calling but the phone keeps ringing

Rolling steady but my heart is aching

Hands keep shaking, and I keep on praying

 

Say you will, say you will

I got your number

I won’t stop until

You say you will, say you will

We could roll like thunder

If you say you will

 

You say you will, say you will

We could roll like thunder

If you say you will

 

Turn It Up

You ever hear a song

Come on that radio

Make you wanna reach over

Grab the dial

Roll it and turn it on up

 

You ever sit down in the shade

Put bottleneck of that Tennessee whiskey

Tastes so smooth makes you wanna

Turn it on up

 

Driving 90 miles an hour down a dead end street

Cold steel under my feet

Dancing with the devil

Bound to be in trouble

Damnit don’t it feel so sweet

 

Testing my nerves, taking the curves

Leaning heavy on my luck

And I still x3

Wanna turn it on up

 

You ever been out in the Carolina sun

With the one you love

It’s so hot feel like it’s fixin to melt ya

But you just wanna grab her close pull her on in

And turn it on up

 

Driving 90 miles an hour down a dead end street

Cold steel under my feet

Dancing with the devil

Bound to be in trouble

Damnit don’t it feel so sweet

 

Testing my nerves, taking them curves

Leaning heavy on my luck

And I still x3

Gotta turn it on up

 

Testing my nerves, taking them curves

Leaning heavy on my luck

But I still x3

Gotta turn it on up

 

But I still x3

Gotta turn it on up

 

Too Much Whiskey

Too much of that ole whiskey river

Leaves a young man feeling old

That ole love you still remember

Cut you deep down in your soul

 

Lost that girl down in New Awlins

Chasing some old voodoo dream

The levee broke on whiskey river

Got me trying to swim upstream

 

Getting tired of going crazy

Headed back Tennessee

I gotta crawl on out of this river

For it drowns me in the sea

 

Shotgun Willie on the stereo

Words are speaking to my heart

If I keep reaching for that bottle

It’s gonna tear my world apart

 

Getting tired of going crazy

Headed back Tennessee

Gotta crawl on out of this river

For it drowns me in the sea

 

One more cup of coffee

Old cafe du mon

Get my head together

Ride my Cadillac back home

 

Getting tired of going crazy

Headed on to Tennessee

I gotta crawl on out of this river

For it drown me in the sea

 

I gotta crawl on out of this river

For it drown me in the sea

 

Love Song

I wanna write something special for you

Something to call your own

Bringing to light, its my message to you

I’m here to carve it in stone

 

You been my rock, You been my roll

You been the light In the heart of my soul

Something so sweet, I want you to know

I’ve never lived in a love song before

 

You came around at a time in my life

A time when I’d lost my mind

I heard the sound of your voice in the night

I knew why true love was blind

 

You been my rock, You been my roll

You been the light In the heart of my soul

Something so sweet, I want you to know

I’ve never lived in a love song before

Something so sweet, I don’t want it to go

I’ve never lived in a love song before

 

No Pain

I fall off of that wagon

Won’t be no last call

Don’t believe I’m bragging

I’ll feel no pain at all

No pain at all

 

Always been scared of flying

The writings on the wall

Don’t let me catch you crying

I’ll feel no pain at all

No pain at all

No pain at all

 

You hear those angels singing

In that soulful southern drawl

When you hear the church bells ringing

I feel no pain at all

No pain at all

No pain at all

No pain at all
