When god-fearin’ women get the blues
There ain’t no slap-dab-a-tellin’
What they’re gonna do
Run around yellin’
I’ve got a mustang
It’ll do 80
You don’t have to be my baby
I’ve stirred my last batch of gravy
You don’t have to be my baby

Call all the deacons
Call the ladies aid
Call all the altos, sopranos, tenors
Call every bass
Well call all the pentacostals
Bring that anointing oil too
Well call the preacher
He’s the only one can reach her
And their ain’t no time to lose

Repeat chorus

She’s on all our prayer lists
She’s on all our hearts
As for the easter cantata
We don’t know who’ll sing her part

Repeat chorus

[chorus]
Holding you holds me together
When holding on gets just a little too hard
When this tight rope i travel
Begins to unravel and i feel like i’m falling apart
Holding you holds me together

You know life’s a freight liner on a runaway track
But i’ll take the ride knowing that you’ll bring me back
No fate’s too uncertain, no distance too far
As long as you’re here in my arms

[chorus]
Holding you holds me together
When holding on gets just a little too hard
When this tight rope i travel
Begins to unravel and i feel like i’m falling apart
Holding you holds me together

Whenever i hold you tight
This crazy world of mine falls right in place
Whatever the trouble is
You find a way to give back what it takes

When this tight rope i travel
Begins to unravel and i feel like i’m falling apart
Holding you holds me together
Holding you holds me together

Anytime you’re thinking ’bout me
That’s the time i’ll think of you
Anytime you say you want me back again
That’s the time i’ll come back home to you.

Anytime your world is lonely
And you’ll find true friends a few
Anytime you see a rainbow
That will be a sign the storm is through.

Anytime will be the right time
Anytime at all will do
Anytime you’re sure you want only my love
That’s the time i’ll come back home to you.

— instrumental —

Anytime you’re thinking ’bout me
That’s the time i’ll think of you
Anytime you say you want me back again
That’s the time i’ll come back home to you…

Chorus 1
But I Wanna Feel Somethin
Somethin Thats Real
Somethin That Moves Me, That Proves To Me I’m Still Alive
I Wanna Heart That Beats And Bleeds
A Heart Thats Bustin At The Seams
I Wanna Care
I Wanna Cry
I Wanna Scream
I Just Wanna Feel Somethin

If You’re Tellin Me Thats Just How It Is
I Don’t Buy It
Cause Once I Was Kissed By A Red Headed Girl With Cherry Lips
On Her Porch When I Was Sixteen
And I Felt It Somewhere In My Soul And Time Stood Still I Couldn’t Let Go
I Can’t Tell You Cause I Don’t Know How I Got So Cold
When Did I Get So Cold

Chorus 2
I Just Wanna Feel Somethin
Somethin Thats Real
Somethin That Moves Me And Proves To Me I’m Still Alive
Run My Fingers Through Your Fingers
Cross Your Face And Through Your Hair
Close My Eyes And Breathe You In Like Air
I Just Wanna Feel Somethin

I Hate That I’m Jaded And I Make You Cry
But Still You Stick Around
Only God Knows Why
Damn It All To Hell I’m Done
Cause I Don’t Like What I’ve Become
Some Come Here Baby
Come Here Baby

Chorus 2
I Just Wanna Feel Somethin
Somethin Thats Real
Somethin That Moves Me And Proves To Me I’m Still Alive
Run My Fingers Through Your Fingers
Cross Your Face And Through Your Hair
Close My Eyes And Breathe You In Like Air
I Just Wanna Feel Somethin

We’re drivin’ down the road
I wonder if you know
I’m tryin’ so hard not to get caught up now
But you’re just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absentmindedly makin’ me want you

And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don’t know why, but with you I’d dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

So, baby, drive slow
‘Til we run out of road in this one-horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger’s seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture it, remember it

‘Cause I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don’t know why, but with you I’d dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake
I’m not usually this way, but
You pull me in and I’m a little more brave
It’s the first kiss
It’s flawless
Really something
It’s fearless

Oh, yeah
And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don’t know why, but with you I’d dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

Yeah
I don’t know how
Oh, yeah, yeah

Saw Hate In Livin’ Color On My TV
Learned Black Kids Bled Red Just Like Me
Scott’s Playboy Opened My Eyes One Afternoon
I Noticed Jenny’s Eyes Were Blue
And Mama Prayed For My Every Move

When I Stop And Remember
Each Moment Stands Alone
When I See ’em All Together
I’ve Been Blessed I Know
I Guess The Lord Must Love A Dirt Road
Faded Barns And Shaded Creeks
And I’ve Come To Think That He
Loves Country Boys Like Me

A Slow Sunset Can Make My Day
Love’s More Than A Yes In A Chevrolet
John 3:16 Still Brings Me To My Knees
Yeah, I Stand Here At Peace
Knowing Who I’ll Always Be

When I Stop And Remember
Each Moment Stands Alone
When I See ’em All Together
I’ve Been Blessed I Know
I Guess The Lord Must Love A Dirt Road
Faded Barns And Shaded Creeks
And I’ve Come To Think That He
Loves Country Boys Like Me

I Guess The Lord Must Love A Dirt Road
Faded Barns And Shaded Creeks
And I’ve Come To Think That He
Loves Country Boys Like Me
Lord Keep Smiling Down On Me
And All Them Country Boys Like Me

Chorus:
You load sixteen tons, and whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. peter don’cha call me, cause i can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and i walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal
And the straw boss said, “well bless my soul!”

Chorus

I was born one morning, it was drizzlin’ rain
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Cain’t no high-toned woman make me walk the line

Chorus

If you see me comin’ better step aside
A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t getcha then the left one will

Well, she got up this mornin’ at 6 a.m.
She was as grumpy as can be
Not a snowballs chance of sleepin’ late
‘cuz she started vacuuming
Said: “get your lazy butt up cledus
You gotta take me to the mall
Don’t forget to bring them credit cards
‘cuz i’m a’gonna use ’em all”

Wives do it all the time
We can’t meet all their demands
A bunch of female general schwarzkopfs
A’barkin’ off their commands
They spend all our money it’s a mystery
How us menfolk can survive
Oh why do we can’t tell if they break a nail
Wives do it all the time

Oh, her makeup’s scattered all over the place
& the bathrooms a cloud of dust
Didn’t leave no gas in my pick up
& she hates the way i get my hair cut
You know you sure are a cold one baby
You get green with jealousy
When i steal your victoria sacret
Or what mindy on cmt

Wives do it all the time
We can’t meet all their demands
You know they loose all their sweetness
When we give ’em that weddin’ band
They spend all our money it’s a mystery
How us menfolk can survive
Well they never fail to find a sale
Wives do it all the time

Well she might just get frisky tonight
So i won’t get nowhere near her
& if she says: “cledy, come on to bed”
I’ll pretend i don’t hear her
Oooooo

They spend all our money it’s a mystery
How us menfolk can survive
Beats all i ever saw they’ll bankrupt us all
Wives do it all the time

Yeah wives do it
All the time, all the time

Wives do it
All the time, all the time

Wives do it
All the time, all the time

Wives do it
Mine does it all the time

She ain’t draggin’ ’round the same old heartache
She ain’t lookin’ through innocent eyes
And though it’s clear in the mirror
It’s hard to believe it’s really me
Who’s that girl
(who’s that girl)

Who’s that guy
Never thought he’d show his face again
Same old lines
I think he thinks she’s gonna let him in
I can’t believe that girl finally did it
Slammed the door and told that fool
Forget it

She ain’t draggin’ ’round the same old heartache
She ain’t lookin’ through innocent eyes
And though it’s clear in the mirror
It’s hard to believe it’s really me
Who’s that girl
(who’s that girl)

I don’t believe i’ve seen her looking better
That girl is back and got her act together

She ain’t draggin’ ’round the same old heartache
She ain’t lookin’ through innocent eyes
And though it’s clear in the mirror
It’s hard to believe it’s really me
Who’s that girl
(who’s that girl)

Who’s that girl
I said who’s that girl

She ain’t draggin’ ’round the same old heartache
She ain’t lookin’ through innocent eyes
And though it’s clear in the mirror
It’s hard to believe it’s really me
Who’s that girl
(who’s that girl)

I’m comin’ over, running every red light
To hell with the closure, save it for another time
Try not to think about you but it ain’t working
Why put out a fire when it’s still burning
Just when i think moving on’s getting closer
I’m comin’ over

I’m all alone but you’re on my phone
Telling me you miss me, heh, that you’re at home
Who knows what we are in the morning
All i know is i want you so

I’m comin’ over, running every red light
To hell with the closure, save it for another time
Try not to think about you but it ain’t working
Why put out a fire when it’s still burning
Just when i think moving on’s getting closer
I’m comin’ over

Instrumental break

Oh, i’m comin’ over

Yet we say that we’re done and i know that it’s late
But you already know i’m on my way

I’m comin’ over, running every red light
To hell with the closure, save it for another time
Try not to think about you but it ain’t working
Why put out a fire that’s burning

I’m comin’ over, running every red light
To hell with the closure, save it for another time
Try not to think about you but it ain’t working
Why put out a fire when it’s still burning
Just when i think moving on’s getting closer
I’m comin’ over

Oh, i’m coming over

Sticker says “vote for dick” and brillo box full
Of rusty parts, and bob says “whaddya think?”.
Well, i kicked the tires and i got in the seat and
Set on a petrified apple core and found a bunch of
Field mice livin’ in the glove compartment. he
Says, “her shaft is bent and her rear end leaks,
You can fix her quick with an oily rag. use a nail
As a starter; i lost the key. don’t pay no mind to
That whirrin’ sound. she use a little oil, but
Outside a’ that, she’s cherry.” i says, “what’ll
Take?” he says, “what’ve you got?” i says,
“twenty-eight dollars and fifteen cents.” he says,
“you got a deal. sign here, i’ll go get the title
And a can full of gas.” i put the nail in the slot
And fired ‘er up; she coughed and belched up a
Bunch a’ smoke and i backed her right through the
Hog pen into the yard. well, frank jumped in and
Bit my leg and i beat him off with a crowbar. he
Jumped on out and the door fell off and the left
Front tire went flat. i jacked it up and patched
The tube and frank tore a piece of my shirt off.
Then bob come out and called him off and says “you
Better’d get on out of here.” i went left on the
One-lane gravel road, went fourteen west on county
12. took two full quarts of forty-weight oil just
To get her to the conoco station. and i pulled up
To the regular pump and then harold sykes and his
Kid come out. he says, “i’ve seen better stuff at
Junkyards and where’d you ever get that truck?” i
Says, “that’s a long story, harold. i’s thumbin’
Through the want ads in the shelby county tribune
When this classified advertisement caught my eye.
It said, “take imme-di-ate delivery on this ’57
Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck. will sell or swap
For a hide-a-bed and thirty-five bucks…”

Chorus- wolf creek pass
Way up on the great divide
Truckin’ on down the other side.

Well earl put down his bottle
An’ mashed his foot down on the throttle
Then a couple of boobs
And a thousand cubes
Of a 1948 peterbuilt screamed t’ life.
We woke up the chickens.
We roared on off of that shoulder
Sprayin’ pinecones, rocks, and boulders,
And put 400 head
Of them rhode island red
And a couple of burned out roosters on the line.
Look out below cuz here we go.

Chorus

Well we commenced to truckin’
And them hens commenced to cluckin’.
Then earl took out a match,
Scratched his pants
And lit up the unused half of a dollar cigar
And took a puff, ‘says
My ain’t this pertty up here.
I says earl this hill can spill us,
You better slow down,
You gonna’ kill us.
Just make one mistake
An’ it’s the pearly gates
For them 85 crates o’ usda approved cluckers.
You wanna’ hit second?

Chorus

Well earl grabed onto the shifter
And stabbed her into fifth gear.
Then the chromium-plated
Fully illuminated
Genuine accessory shift knob
Come right off in his hand.
I says you wanna screw that thing back on earl?
Well he was tryin to thread it on there
When the fire fell off of his cigar
And dropped on down
Sorta rolled around
And lit the cuff of earls pants
An’ burned a hole in his sock.
Yeah sorta set him right on fire.
Well i looked on outta the window
An’ started countin’ phone poles
Goin’ by at the rate of 4 to the 7th power.
Well i put 2 and 2 together
And added 12 an’ carried 5,
Come up with 22,000 telephone poles an hour.
I looked at earl and his eyes was wide
His lip was curled and his leg was fried
And his hand was froze to the wheel
Like a tongue to a sled in the middle of a blizzard.
I says earl i’m not the type to complain
But the time has come for me to explain
That you don’t apply some brake real soon,
Their gonna’ have to pick us up with a stick and a spoon.
Well earl rared back, cocked his leg,
Stepped down as hard as he could on the brake,
Pedal went clear to the floor
‘ stayed right there on the floor.
Said it was kinda like steppin’ on a plum.
Well from there on down it just wasn’t real pertty,
It was hairpin county and switchback city.
One of ’em looked like a can full of worms,
Another one looked like malaria germs.
Right in the middle of the whole damn show
Was a real nice tunnel now wouldn’t you know.
The sign said clearance to the 12 foot line
But them chickens was stacked to 13-9.
Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred and ten
Like gas throuugh a funnel and eggs through a hen.
We took that top row of chickens off slicker than scum off a louisiana swamp.
Went down an’ around an’ around an’ down
We ran outta ground at the edge of town
And bashed into the side of the feed store
In downtown pagosa springs.

Chrous

Oh, Oh, Oh…

I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up
And gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again

You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that i could
Almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And i can’t believe it’s you
I can’t believe it’s true
I needed you
And you were there

And i’ll never leave
Why should i leave, i’d be a fool
’cause i’ve finally found
Someone who really cares

You held my hand
When it was cold
When i was lost
You took me home

You gave me hope
When i was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again

You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that i could
Almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
You needed me, you needed me

Chorus:
I’m in love with you baby , I don’t even know your name
I’ve never been too good with all those sexual games
So maybe its just better if we leave it this way
I’m in love with you baby and I don’t even know your name.

— Instrumental —

So I ordered straight tequila, a little courage in a shot
And I asked you for a date and then I asked to tie knot
I got a little wasted, ya I went a little far
I finally got to hug you when you helped me to my car
The last thing I remember I heard myself say, ”I’m in love with you baby
And I don’t even know your name.”

Chorus:
I’m in love with you baby , I don’t even know your name
I’ve never been too good with all those sexual games
So maybe its just better if we leave it this way
I’m in love with you baby and I don’t even know your name.

— Instrumental —

The next thing I remembered I was hearing weddin’ bells
Standing by a woman in a long white lacy vail
I raised the vail she smiled at me without her left front tooth
And I said, ”Where the hell am I? And just who the hell are you?”
She said, ”I was your waitress and our last name’s now the same
‘Cause I’m married to you baby, and I don’t even know your name.”

Yah, I’m married to a waitress, I don’t even know her name
I’ve never been too good with all those sexual games
I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way
Hey, I’m married to a waitress and I don’t even know her name…

Get down

[chorus:]
It’s at 2 am when she’s reaching’ over
Faded t-shirt hanging off her shoulder
Dressed up, hair down, in a ball cap
Yep yep, as long as i get that
Sweet little something late night kiss
On a plane or a train or way back in the sticks
I swear, if she’s there, that’s where
Yep yep, that’s where it’s at.

It ain’t in a suped-up shiny red new truck, if she ain’t to my right
It ain’t in a dive bar, tall can of pbr, poppin’ tops rockin all night
As good as it gets, no that ain’t where it is

[chorus]

[bridge]
No, it don’t matter wherever we’re at (no,)
No, it don’t get no better than that

It ain’t in a suped-up shiny red new truck, if she ain’t to my right

It’s at 2 am when she’s reaching’ over
Faded t-shirt hanging off her shoulder
Dressed up, hair down, in a ball cap

I swear, if she’s there, that’s where
Yep yep, that’s where it’s at

I Hope You Know What I Mean When I Say
