Saw you at the football games
Everybody knew your name
Once or twice I´d see you smile at me
I was scared to ask you out
I was sure that you would turn me down
But I took that chance
Cause how would that be
Then what do you know
you said you´d go and there we were

I'm a hard workingman
Doing all that I can
I'm a hard workingman
Doing all that I can

I worked hard all my life
So I'm blessed today
Long beach California
Repping USA
Proud American
Pop’s a Vietnam veteran
Liberty justice for all good men I pray
I'm

Girl I've got somethin' just a waitin' for you
That's gonna make you smile and never leave you blue
I've carried it around waiting for the right time
To give it to you and make you mine
Just give it a chance and you're gonna want it
'Cause I've got a heart with your name on i

Left for work this mornin'
without any warnin'
that little tiny gage said it's that time
so I started lookin'
but I just kept on lookin'
as I read the prices there upon those signs

soon I knew my luck was out
my tank was dry and just about
put me on my f

You can tell the world you never was my girl You can burn my clothes when I'm gone Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been And laugh and joke about me on the phone You can tell m

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms, go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can

Look at me, darlin'; look in my eyes
Well as you know me, you fill my mind
Words don't come easy from a man's broken heart
Think that I love you, it'd be enough to part

CHORUS:
Lonely, yes my world was so lonely
Till you walked into my life
& now there's

I've been your hound
But now I'm breaking this chain
Too late to throw me a bone
I'm sick of fetching and sleeping in the rain
Ole Sparky's hittin' the road.

I won't be howlin' 'round your house
Won't be scratchin' your door
Won't be howlin' 'round your house

Well it's a twenty-five mile drive from here to town
Ther's gray skies and there's no doubt
Rain's comin'down this morning
I get off the interstate fifteen minutes late
For an appointment that I really didn't need to make
God, this routine bores me
Well it's getting on tw

Old Mr. Johnson and his wife attend my church.
Fifty-two years and they still love like it's the first.
He holds the door, she holds his hand, they kiss a little.
He helps her in the truck, she slides right to the middle.
And so one day I ask him how they keep the fire alive.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
Well I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind
But now I see

Twas grace
That taught my heart to feel
And grace my fear relieved
Our precious debt
That grace of his
When I, I first believed

It ain't natural for a Delta man to be surrounded by all this sand
To fear the echoes of live rounds
And to never sleep when the sun goes down
So I'm writing you this letter
To say that I miss you more than ever and to promise you this
When I make it back to Memphis
I'm g

Fancy cars and diamond rings
I`ve seen all kind of shiny things
I should be feeling like a king
But Lord I don´t

Great big town so full of users
Make a million still a loser
Some bet on you to win
Most hope you won't

Living wild
Ain´t no mercy being free

Fancy cars and diamond rings, I seen all kinds of shiny things, I should be feelin’ like a king, But lord I don’t. Great big towns, so full of users. Make a million, still a loser. Some ma

Fancy cars and diamond rings
I seen all kinds of shiny things
I should be feeling like a king
But Lord I don't

Great big towns, so full of users
Make a million, still a loser
Some may bet on you to win
Most hope you won't

Living wild, ain't no mercy being free

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others w

I'm dreaming tonight of a hollow
With a clear mountain stream
A cabin with a window on a hillside
Where I used to dream
The moonlight at midnight made heaven
Aeem so close to home
And it gave me the only real peacefulness
I've ever known.

And I'm in a bluegrass

There's a little boy standin' in the driveway, Basketball in hand.
Says Daddy can we play a little one-on-one.
You pat him on the back and say not now son, I'm a busy man.

His sisters out on the sidewalk, Setin' up a lemonade stand.
Hey Daddy don't ya wanta' buy a glass from me

You tucked me in
Turn out the light
Kept me safe and sound
At night
Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there
When I looked back

You had to do it all alone
Make a living

I've been talkin' to myself
Thinkin' 'bout changing my mind,
I've been talkin' to myself
Thought I put your memory high upon a shelf
Well you know I said I could get you,
You go away in town
But lately I've been thinking,
And I'm thinkin' 'bout changing my mind
