The Way You Move

I like the way you move
Girl you set me free
Your love is breaking through
It washed over me
I like to show you off
You like the way I sing
Your eyes shine like the night
Like the moon in the big blue sea
If you could see what I see
If you could feel what I feel
If you could hear just what I hear
How my heart sings for you
When you walk through the door
my heart it skips a beat
I want to love you more
'Cause that's the way love's supposed to be
If I could walk away
I hope you know I never would
Baby, I'm here to stay
'Cause the way you're movie' is looking' so good
If you could see what I see
If you could feel what I feel
If you could hear just what I hear
How my heart sings for you

Queen of Fear
03:05

Well I saw my old lady
It was a quarter to three
It was pitch black
And my eyes couldn’t see
Yeah when I saw my old lady
I shook like leaves on a tree
‘Cause my old lady’s been dead
Since 1973
And these empty walls
They chill my spine
Something’s watching me
From the inside
And you know she’s still here
So get away from me
Queen of fear
I was shootin’ the dice
Down by the pier
I lost all my money
And I ran back to my dear
Well to teach me a lesson
They didn’t shoot me dead
But they put a bullet in my old lady’s head
And these empty walls
They chill my spine
Something’s watching me
From the inside
And you know she’s still here
So get away from me
Queen of fear
Now I love my old lady
This much is true
Ever since that day
I’ve been nothing but blue
Now she wants me to join her
And I feel fine
So I’m gonna break out the trusty 45
And these empty walls
They chill my spine
We are watching you
From the inside
And you know we’re still here
Just the two of us
The King and Queen of fear

Into The Woods
05:15
|

|
Into the woods I run
Looking for home
Darkness and rain doth fall
I hear the moans
An eerie sound I heard
As I started to fret
The shortcut I took that day
I’ll never forget
Now something is watching me thru the leaves
Something is haunting me, thirsty for blood
Something is stalking me, wanting my soul
And my instincts are telling me not to go home
A dark figure I did see
Walking on air
With eyes of deep dark red
And black flowing hair
A few words he said to me
Which have never grown old
A place where abundance flows
With silver and gold
Now something inside of me wants to say no
But I don’t want poverty, so with him I’ll go
Someone is pulling me into the fire
Greed got the best of me and made me a liar
That’s the story of old tom
And how his deal with the devil went wrong
I guess that’s a lesson well learned
When you play with fire you’re might get burned
Yes that’s a lesson well learned
When you play with fire you’re gonna’ get burned

Oh The Life

Amazing Grace
How I don’t deserve
A heart so black
You’d swear it’s burnt
To my core Oh, to my soul
This blackened hole I call my home
And I mourn Oh the life that I have wasted
Oh the love that I could have tasted
But I blew it all on something else
I blew it all on myself
Amazing Grace
How I don’t deserve
A heart so black
You’d swear I burnt it
To my core Oh, to my soul
This blackened hole I call my home
And I mourn Oh the life that I have wasted
Oh the love that I could have tasted
But I blew it all on something else
I blew it all on myself
I got a bed that I don’t need
It’s so old hasn’t been used in weeks
While some poor kid dies in the street
How dare I not give him what he needs?
What he needs
And I mourn Oh the life that I have wasted
Oh the love that I could have tasted
I mourn Oh the life that I have wasted
Oh the love that I could have tasted
And I mourn Oh the life that I have wasted
Oh the love that I could have tasted
But I blew it all on something else
I blew it all on myself

Movin' On (Time)
05:20

He packed his bags and put them in the truck
Gave her the papers to be filed
Said, “This is it, I’ve had enough”
Left her standing in the cold with a newborn child
She couldn’t bear being alone
A baby boy and an empty home
She dropped him off on a neighbor’s steps
Closed her eyes and put a bullet through her head
Time doesn’t care if you’re lonely
Time doesn’t care if you’re sick and tired
Time doesn’t care if it’s your last goodbye
No, Time keeps moving on
She sat next to a hospital bed
And hadn’t been home in days
She watched her mother gasp for breath
As the light from her eyes began to fade
And as she watched her life slowly end
She thought of all the things her mom had done to them
She left her daughters in the car
While she drank away her sickness in the bar
Time doesn’t care if you’re lonely
Time doesn’t care if you’re sick and tired
Time doesn’t care if it’s your last goodbye
No, Time keeps moving on
He grabbed his backpack and he left for school
Kissed his mama goodbye
Got in his car and went down the road
It was the last time they’d see him alive
The coroner called at 8 AM
His father cried when they said, “it’s him”
Well, Mama hung her head in disbelief
‘Cause Her baby boy was gone at seventeen
Time doesn’t care if you’re lonely
Time doesn’t care if you’re sick and tired
Time doesn’t care if it’s your last goodbye
No, Time keeps moving on

Wastin'

I've been wasting
All of my days
Thinking about, about you babe
And I can't sleep at night
Thinking of you by his side
Well I’ve been to the places that we used to go
To see if you’ll show up
and so you can know that
I still miss you
In my mind I began
To discover
There’s no getting over you
In my hear it burns
I cannot recover
There’s no getting over you
‘Cause I’ve been drinking and smoking too
I’m just trying to forget about you
And you won’t leave my mind
You’re in my dreams so late at night
Well I’ve been to the place that we used to go
To see if you’ll show up and so you can know that I still miss you
And I look through the window and I see you pass
You're holding his arm and you smile and you laugh
And I can't let it go
In my mind I began
To discover
There’s no getting over you
In my hear it burns
I cannot recover
There’s no getting over you
So tonight I'll sleep
Despite all my troubles
I'm getting over you
In this bottle lies
A path like no other
I'm getting over you

Better Times
04:45
|
|||
|
All this talk to better myself
Is putting me through a living hell
And I know times will get better again
Conflict and guilt keep digging a hole
Much deeper now than ever before
And I hope times will get better again
Well I sit at home and the silence comes
I’ll never be the same again
When I met her the sun it seemed brighter
The snow on the ground was a little bit whiter
And I knew she was the girl for me
The first time we kissed
and the way that she smelled
Sends shocks through my brain
When I think about it now and then
Why did that night have to end?
The movement
Oh, the laughter
Seeing her smile again
I held you real close for nearly an hour
Until you told me you were leaving again
My happiness went away right then
I held on tight and I wouldn’t let go
You started crying and I thought to myself right then
I’d never see you again
All hope is gone and the night’s, they’re long
As the silence returns again
No more moving
No more laughter
No more seeing her smile again
Times won’t get better
Times won’t get better
Times won’t get better
No, times won’t get better again

Down In The Valley
05:28
|
|||
|
As the sun peaks around the mountainside
And the rooster begins to crow
I roll out of bed and wipe my eyes
Grab a biscuit and hit the road
Honeysuckle perfumes the air
And the kudzu vines they grow
I walk in the holler and feed the chickens
Slop the hogs and have a smoke
Down in the valley or up on a hill
Family and friends and a moonshine still
Down in Pilgrim, Kentucky is where I belong
And year after year we’ll still be here
Til the day that we’re gone
After lunch we head up the mountain
To gather water from the spring
Come down the ridge into the garden
To water the corn and beans
Bring the coal in the house and clean out the ashes
Then we slip on down to the creek
Catching crawdads while we’re fishing
We bring them home for the family to eat
Down in the valley or up on a hill
Family and friends and a moonshine still
Down in Pilgrim, Kentucky is where I belong
And year after year we’ll still be here
Til the day that we’re gone
Well we worked all day and we pray at night
Asking the Lord to steer us right
Won’t give up this ground without a fight
We’re just good ol’ boys with a lot of pride
Grab your girl and head up the mountain
Gaze at the stars at night
Hold her there until the morning
When that sun peaks around the pines
Down in the valley or up on a hill
Family and friends and granny’s moonshine still
Down in Pilgrim, Kentucky and that’s where we call home
And year after year we’ll still be here
Til the day that we’re gone

We Believe
06:18

Come to the wagon I’ll let you ride on
Heading out west to where a new life begins
Don’t waste any time we’ve not much to spare
The sun is so hot and the journey is long
I sit at home and watch dust fly by
We left the east coast and we sacrificed
The fields dried up and the lake was gone
But we didn’t pack up no we stayed all along
And I know in my heart
Yes I know in my mind I believe
We keep praying and hoping and working so hard just to eat
We will prosper and live without worry or struggle
Wherever we go riches will flow
I’m not crazy wait and see
We believe.
We built our house from sticks and stones
It wasn’t that great but we called it our home
I looked outside while the children play
The land is too dry and we’ve much debt to pay
Our firstborn died when we first moved in
We buried him in a dusty grave
The soil was barren the livestock was dead
But we kept all our faith never lowered our heads
And I know in my heart
Yes I know in my mind I believe
We keep praying and hoping and working so hard just to eat
We will prosper and live without worry or struggle
Wherever we go riches will flow
I’m not crazy wait and see
We believe.
Years went by still nothing would grow
Then it finally rained and it barely stopped
The harvest was plenty we had more than enough
We’d finally made a life worth living
I knew in my heart Yes I felt in my soul I believed
The work would pay off and we’d finally meet all our needs
We have prospered and lived
So now we will give
To the helpless and poor who have nothing more
Than we did in the beginning
We believed

The Bottle
04:52
|
|||
|
I woke up
With the bottle in my hand
Don't know what I had done
Can't remember where I'd been
I know I lost control
I was trying to forget
How I done that good gal wrong
How I took her for granted
I wish she'd listen to me
Oh God now why'd she have to go?
I'm gonna drink myself to sleep
If she walks out that door
Now I ain't seen the sun
I'm laying out every night
Roaming the streets and searching the bars
Tryin’ to find a girl in the neon light
And I'll sing her the same damn song
That I once sung to you
Then I'll try to take her home
But she's got better things to do
I wish she'd listen to me
Oh God now why'd she have to go?
I'm gonna drink myself to sleep
If she walks out that door
I told her everything that I thought she'd wanna hear
I told her everything but she won't listen
She won't listen
She won't listen
She won't listen
Oh baby listen to me
And please don't go
You know I'll drink myself to sleep
If you walk out that door
Sweet darling hear me out
And please don't walk away
I'll throw this bottle on the ground if you just stay please stay
I'll throw this bottle on the ground
If you just stay
Please stay

The Nursing Home Song
03:46
|
|||
|
My legs will be straightened,
my fingers will work just fine
I’ll have a new body
That will live throughout all time
And I wont have to worry
About when it’s suppertime
For I will sup with Jesus and dear old friends of mine
There’ll be no nursing homes in heaven
No wheel chairs up there
You won’t have to visit
For I won’t have a care
I’ll walk around with Jesus
And mom and daddy too
And you can have your Sundays
To do what you want to do
They won’t have to tie me in the bed at night
They won’t have to comb my hair so I don’t look a fright
They won’t have to dress me in pajamas or a gown
For the place where I am going the sun will not go down
There’ll be no nursing homes in heaven
No wheel chairs up there
You won’t have to visit
For I won’t have a care
I’ll walk around with Jesus
And mom and daddy too
And you can have your Sundays
To do what you want to do
I’ll live in a mansion that was prepared for me
Not like the one I had on earth they took away from me
And if I go right out the door they won’t look for me
For I will be with Jesus throughout eternity
There’ll be no nursing homes in heaven
No wheel chairs up there
You won’t have to visit
For I won’t have a care
I’ll walk around with Jesus
And mom and daddy too
And you can have your Sundays
To do what you want to do
