What the heck?

Daddy said, son, it’s OK to hate the man
You don’t have to be his #1 fan
As long as you’re grateful for the work and for the check
Then my boy all I say is what the heck
Daddy said it’s OK to feel old
Cause life’s not always bout being bold
As long as you’re grateful for your health and what’s on deck
Then my boy all I say is what the heck
What the heck, do people find to moan about
What the heck, they’re born angry there’s no doubt
What the heck, take a minute and enjoy
That’s all I can teach you, my boy
Daddy said son, it’s OK to wanna quit
On the nights when your woman yelled and split
As long as you’re grateful for the times before the wreck
Then my boy all I say is what the heck
What the heck, do people find to moan about
What the heck, they’re born angry there’s no doubt
What the heck, take a minute and enjoy
That’s all I can teach you, my boy
I never went to school and they never called me cool
But I hope you will follow this simple rule
What the heck, do people find to moan about
What the heck, they’re born angry there’s no doubt
What the heck, take a minute and enjoy
That’s all I can teach you, my boy

More than it appears
03:26

I can hear the rolling thunder
Of the wild horses in her heart
And the sense of complete wonder
Knowing we’ll never be apart
I can feel the way she loves me
When she tells me all her fears
I can hear her silent plea
To make love be more than it appears
More than it appears, more than it appears
I can see where the world ends
Where the birds no longer fly
Tell me we’ll always be friends
Staring at the bluest sky
I can trust she holds the key
To my happy golden years
I can hear her silent plea
To make love be more than it appears
More than it appears, more than it appears

The circus left town

The circus left town
The world is gray again
There’s no one around
To tell me where and when
My heart will calm down
And listen to my brain
My feet on the grown
This ain’t no storm it’s just a little bit of rain
The circus left town
They just packed up and then
They faded in the background
I don’t if or when
I miss the tastes, the sounds, the smells
I miss the Sunday morning bells
I miss the times when we were one
The happiness we can’t outrun

My name
03:34
|
|
||
|
You wanna win the war I wanna live in peace
You always go too far in search of your release
You talk to God when you’re dancing with the Sun
You say you talk to God - I think you’re on the run
You wanna see the world I want you home with us
You wanna be my girl with a ticket for the next bus
You talk to God when you’re counting the white lines
You say you talk to God - I think you’re running outta signs
It's not that I want to, but I love you just the same
Babe you make me blue, my love is not a game
Here's hoping you never wear my name
You wanna drink more wine i want my spirit clear
You say you wanna be mine and that’s my greatest fear
You talk to God when you’re alone in a crowd
You say you talk to God - I think you cry out loud
It's not that I want to, but I love you just the same
Babe you make me blue, my love is not a game
Here's hoping you never wear my name

Your man
03:31

Your man he likes to tussle
He thinks he’s full of muscles
Your man he likes to beat
On his woman cute and sweet
Your man he likes to tussle
Your man he likes his liquor
His trigger gets quicker
Your man he likes to wail
On his woman cute and frail
Your man he likes his liquor
Come with me girl, we’ll give it a whirl
Let’s hit the road in runaway mode
Come with me girl, let my love be your new world
Your man he likes to yell
And promise you hell
Your man he likes to fight
With his woman cute and slight
Your man he likes to yell
Come with me girl, we’ll give it a whirl
Let’s hit the road in runaway mode
Come with me girl, let my love be your new world
Your old man had it coming
Gave him plenty of warning
Your new man likes to beat
On your old man not-so-sweet
Your old man had it coming

If you please

Drinking some moonshine
Listening to the wind chimes
Thinking of the birds and the bees
I was feeling so fine
The afternoon was all mine
She was down on her knees
She said I’ll put you at ease
But I can be a tease
I said Yes mam, if you please
Later down the line
She made our stars align
Out there in the sun and the breeze
Hotter than the sunshine
Shivers up & down my spine
She showed me what a dead man sees
She said I’ll put you at ease
But I can be a tease
I said Yes mam, if you please

A helping hand
04:58

Well he left for Monterey they say
They think he’ll be home by Friday
Took a day bag and dog-eared book
He left home without a single look
Got a ticket for the greyhound bus
He never was one to make a fuss
Sat his old bones in a window seat
Where the inside and the outside meet
F Am G F
And he looked at life that played out for all to see
Tried the remember being free
He prayed for strangers and friends the same
Figured Jesus would know their name
Friday came and Friday went
I’m reading the letter he sent
He’s not coming back it seems
Something about dying dreams
He’s gone searching for lost souls
Like those that hide down in dark holes
The power of a helping hand
For those who can’t he’ll make a stand

Vodka in the closet
04:00
|
|
||
|
She keeps vodka in a closet behind rows of high heel shoes
She says she ain't no drunk she just got nothing left to lose
She goes to bed at night praying the Lord would bring her home
She wakes up in the morning hungover and alone
She was raised to be a beauty queen to only matter from the outside
Her mama said make sure your man is always satisfied
She said wait for a rich one, girl, don't bother with our kind
This ain't about true love, it's about not falling behind
And she lives in a mansion with strangers all around
But when it comes to passion her dreams have all but drowned
She would give it all for just one day
With someone by her side
A loving man who wasn’t buying a thing when he made her his bride
She tried picking up young men downtown in a singles bar
Just another night alone, and just another scar
Her old friends across town don’t understand why she complains
They see her crashing down but they don’t feel her pain
And she lives in a mansion with strangers all around
But when it comes to passion her dreams have all but drowned
She would give it all for just one day
With someone by her side
A loving man who wasn’t buying a thing when he made her his bride

On The Road

On the road I feel at home
Drinking my coffee straight from the styrofoam
I see the sun dancing off the chrome
On the road I feel at home
On the road I feel at peace
Been travelin’ since early release
Out there I don’t feel like a damn chess piece
On the road I feel at peace
I feel free
I feel free
On the road I feel the rush
Nobody tells me when to hush
They can’t paint me with the same damn brush
On the road I feel the rush
On the road I feel alive
To stay ahead you just gotta drive
Another mile away from their jove
On the road I feel alive
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free to ride, free to roam
I feel free to call this earth my home
I feel free to leave behind
The thoughts & worries in my mind
I feel free to think of yesterday
And know tomorrow is the way
The path to happiness ahead
To stand up from my own deathbed
I feel free

Tell me why we shouldn't do this
What's wrong with a little kiss?
Look at our love growing strong
Tell me why we shouldn’t do this
Don’t you think we’d be remiss
Tell me darling what could go wrong
You can trust this love is real
By the way it makes you feel
Don’t you know it deep inside
I see your heart smiling wide
You can trust this love’s on fire
I hope I’m preaching to the choir
Don’t you know it in your soul
This love will make us whole?
Tell me why we shouldn’t do this
Nothing in our world is amiss
I just wanna love you all night long
You can trust this love is real
By the way it makes you feel
Don’t you know it deep inside
I see your heart smiling wide
You can trust this love’s on fire
I hope I’m preaching to the choir
Don’t you know it in your soul
This love will make us whole?
Tell me why we shouldn’t do this
What's wrong with a little kiss?
Look at our love growing strong
