AS LONG AS YOU ARE THERE

I sat me down beneath a big ole tree
starin' at the moon above
He said as long as he is shinin' on me,
he's shinin' on the one I love.
I walk through fire, I walk through rain
You know, I really don't care
Long as I know, I know
Baby you are there.

My TV's broke, my phone don't ring no more
my car just sputters and dies.
I step outside and it begins to pour
I just laugh and stay outside.
I might be crazy, perhaps insane
You know, I really don't care
Long as I know, I know
Baby you are there.

I've been high as a kite, down on my knees
Everywhere between the two.
King of the hill, lost in the weeds
Sherlock Holmes without a clue.
I might be guilty, perhaps to blame
You know, I really don't care
Long as I know, I know
Baby you are there.
Well, run me over with a big ole train
You know, I really don't care
Long as I know, I know
Long as I know, I really gotta know
Long as I know, I know.
Baby you are there.

$100 HONDA

I've got no place to go and I'm right on time.
I've got nothin' to do and I really don't mind.
I'm a half a mile outta Leander
When she pulls to the left I can't stand her
I got a hundred dollar Honda with a high dollar radio

I got a hundred dollar Honda with a hundred dollar bill
You've got to pop the clutch to start it so I park it on a hill
'm a half a mile outta Leander
When she pulls to the left I can't stand her
I got a hundred dollar Honda with a high dollar radio

I never got lucky 'til I got mobile
Since I've been divorced, it's been a long while
I'll be sittin' in the courthouse foyer,
Guess I'm gonna get screwed by her lawyer
I've got a clap-on Jesus with a high dollar radio

I never got lucky 'til I got mobile
Since I've been divorced, it's been a long while
I'll be sittin' in the courthouse foyer,
Guess I'm gonna get screwed by her lawyer
I've got a clap-on Jesus with a high dollar radio

I got a hundred dollar Honda and I really must admit
It's a four wheel Import Japanese piece of shit
I'm a half a mile outta Leander
When she pulls to the left I can't stand her
I got a hundred dollar Honda with a high dollar radio
Dontcha pass me on the right
I got a hundred dollar Honda with a high dollar radio
Well, my tags are expired
I got a hundred dollar Honda with a high dollar radio

HOME

Who you are's not
wrapped up in what you own
Tear down your tents
and haul the canvas to the carts.
Call your cares off and
dance like your trouble's gone
You may be movin' on
but you're carryin' your heart

Home is not a where
It's who you're there with
when memories are made
The stuff you put in boxes
can't compare with
the love that you all made
And the circle of arms
keeps the wind and rain at bay
The heart's a home

You've tried cryin' and
pray that this cup would pass
The stones aren't linein' up
and the fortress starts to fall
It takes leaving to
look at the luck you've had
Recognize the grace of seeing
comfort come to call

Home is not a where
It's who you're there with
when memories are made
The stuff you put in boxes
can't compare with
the love that you all made
And the circle of arms
keeps the wind and rain at bay
The heart's a home
The heart's a home

HENRY'S REVENGE

My baby drives a pickup, a one ton 85 Ford
My baby drives a pickup, a one ton 85 Ford
With big ole knobby tires to run down Kias, Camrys and Accords

My baby don't care 'bout no mileage, likes to feel the torque deep in her wheels
My baby don't care 'bout no mileage, likes to feel the torque deep in her wheels
Uses diesel fuel for perfume, axle grease is pure sex appeal

Her daddy was born in Detroit
Her mommy Kalamazoo
And she was born in Dearborn dear and you know what them people do
They all drive pickups, like that one ton 85 Ford
With big old knobby tires to run down Kias, Camrys and Accords

Got an iron bar for a bumper
Says it makes her quite effectual
But with that big ass 410 rear end baby, it's viva la differential
My baby drives a pick up, like that one ton 85 Ford
WIth big ole knobby tires to run down Kias, Camrys and Accords

Now, we're talking about the Ford F350, mighty, mighty nifty.
It's got a powerstroke diesel engine, not exactly what I'd classify as petro-thrifty
But it's a crew cab, s'got 4 doors and enough room to hold 5 burly men and a big ole ice chest of iced down, ice cold Bud Light beer.
Now, I can tell you unequivicably that the Detroit Lions generally suck.  
However, they know how to do one thing in Detroit.    (they know how to)  make a truck

With big old knobby tires to run down Kias, Camrys and Accords
With big old knobby tires to run down Kias, Camrys and Accords
(What's Japanese for pancake?)
With big old knobby tires to run down Kias, Camrys and Accords

HERO IN MY EYES

Some folks glide from day to day
Some folks hide with nothing much to say
Some folks soar above it all
Never fearful of the fall
Odds don't count if they're not believed
Risks aren't weighed if they're not perceived
And grace is neither bought or sold
It's a gift that is bestowed

And you're a hero in my eyes
You're a light to shine my way
You face the fear of a thousand night times
You embrace each dawning day
You go toe to toe with devil
And you ask no compromise
With every battle fought
You give more than you got
You're a hero in my eyes

Some folks can't see beyond their nose
Some folks can't see beyond their clothes
Some folks reach exceeds their grasp
With arms enough to hold the world perhaps
Walls don't work if you build a door
Fear can't lurk when faith's the core
And love is free to give away
Every hour of every day

And you're a hero in my eyes
You're a light to shine my way
You face the fear of a thousand night times
You embrace each dawning day
You go toe to toe with devil
And you ask no compromise
With every battle fought
You give more than you got
You're a hero in my eyes
With every battle fought
You give more than you got
You're a hero in my eyes

BEAUTIFUL WORLD

Forgive yourself and dance, give yourself another chance
We all drop the ball sometimes, swing and miss-that's fine
Sometimes your zipper's down, turns your smile into a frown
Nobody is immune, forget the words to your own tune

C'mon Martha, dontcha be so tough
Just gettin' through each day is tough enough
And let's face it, there's no place to hide
So just sit back girl-enjoy the ride

It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world

Somedays you just don't know, other days you overflow
Somedays you just get by, other days you just gotta fly
Each day's not sink or swim, some you lose and some you win
Some day's you're bound to fall, other days it's heads up ball.

C'mon Martha, dontcha be so tough
Just gettin' through each day is tough enough
And let's face it, there's no place to hide
So just sit back girl-enjoy the ride

It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world

Somedays you're acting cool, other days you're just a tool
Somedays you're really hot, other days...well...not
You never will if you never try, strike it rich or you just get by
Somedays its' the perfect plan, other days you just gotta jam

C'mon Martha, dontcha be so tough
Just gettin' through each day is tough enough
And let's face it, there's no place to hide
So just sit back girl-enjoy the ride

It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world

SENSES

I think that you thought
what the hell was I thinking
When I kissed you last night

I feel that you felt
the very same feelings
Oooh it feels so right

I hear that you heard
these things I've been hearin'
Love only brings tears

You'll say that I said
to forget all those sayings
Love conquers all fears

CHORUS

Voices lie and looks can deceive
When first we try love to perceive
A feeling heart flies true and straight
Knows it's cues and won't hesitate

I know that you knew
there's no way of knowin'
Where a heart may lead

But I guess that you've guessed
there'll be no more guessin'
Love knows what it needs

Voices lie and looks can deceive
When first we try love to perceive
A feeling heart flies true and straight
Knows it's cues and won't hesitate

LEARN TO FLY

Words on matchbooks, scraps of paper
Songs I said I'd finish later
Heartfelt words that rhyme at night
Don't hold up to the morning light
They melt by morning's light

Tryin' to put these words together
Never made me feel much better
Everytime I start the story
I choke on fearless inventory
It's just too much for me

But hey, I've got to make myself remember
All these things that brought me down
I've learned to fly since last December
And I ain't coming down

I learned to spread my wings to fly
It only took the will to try
I used to be afraid to fall
Now I'm not afraid at all
I'm not concerned at all

Words on matchbooks, scraps of paper
Songs I said I'd finish later
Heartfelt words that rhyme at night
Don't hold up to the morning light
They melt by morning's light

But hey, I've got to make myself remember
All these things that brought me down
I've learned to fly since last December
And I ain't coming down
And I ain't coming down,  no, no, no, no
I ain't coming down

YOU DEPRESS ME

You depress me, you say I'm right and then you always second guess me
What a letdown, you always call my hand before my bet's down
And when I'm always on the make, you seem to get a bad headache
You depress me, so why am I in love with you?

In a kitchen, you never thaw a three course meal so quit your bitchin'
When there's trouble, I can count on you to leave me on the double
When I see you, I fall in lust, so why am I covered with rust?
You depress me, so why am I in love with you?

When I see you, I fall in lust, so why am I covered with rust?
You depress me, so why am I in love with you?

You depress me, you say I'm right and then you always second guess me
I'll be leavin', I'll even give you back your car and call it even
When I'm alone and by myself, you stare at me from on the shelf (I touch myself)
You depress me, so why am I in love with you?

ROCKY MTN SONG

I'd like to see a Rocky Mountain morning
The cool crisp air of a new spring early morn
I'd like to be up just to watch it forming
It's got to be the way to be reborn

I'd like to see a Rocky Mountain sunrise
The dew drops dance like diamonds in the sun
I'd like to be up just to watch the hawk fly
It's got to tell you love has just begun

I can see it now in my dreams
No closer now though it seems
I've got to be a Rocky Mountain song

I can see it now in my dreams
No closer now though it seems
I've got to be a Rocky Mountain song

I'd like to see a Rocky Mountain sunset
The Artist puts his palate to the sky
I'd like to be up close enough to touch it
And have a conversation eye to eye

I can see it now in my dreams
No closer now though it seems
I've got to be a Rocky Mountain song

I can see it now in my dreams
No closer now though it seems
I've got to be a Rocky Mountain song
I've got to be a Rocky Mountain song
I've got to be a Rocky Mountain song

ALL IS ALL

Hmmm, little one I see
A heart shaped perfectly
In a big imperfect world
You hold it in your hand
Like a perfect little pearl

Oh, little one I feel
A heart yearning to heal
Not even knowing why
You don't know why you hurt
And you don't know how to cry

And my heart is big enough for you and me
And I pray some day that you'll set it free
All is everything I give
It's everything I live
It's everything I do
All is all I have to give to you

Hmmm, little one I hear
Heartbeats drawing near
When they seemed so far away
You think that love won't help
Well, just perhaps it may

Oh, little one I sing
About a heart with wings
It's glories are heaven bound
Don't fear the heights of love
'Cause it's fear that holds you down

And my heart is big enough for you and me
And I pray some day that you'll set it free
All is everything I give
It's everything I live
It's everything I do
All is all I have
All is all I have
All is all I have to give to you

BE A LIGHT

Sometimes you hurt, sometimes you heal

Sometimes you're numb, sometimes you feel

Sometimes you need, sometimes you give

If you give of your love, then it's love you will live

Be a light, be a light

Be the light that starting today

The light that your love has shown you

Is the light to show your way

Sometimes you know, sometimes you guess

Sometimes you ask, in love you'll say yes

Together you'll grow, together you'll give

If you give of your love,then it's love you will live

Be a light, be a light

Be the light that starting today

The light that your love has shown you

Is the light to show your way

Be a light,  oh be a light

Be the light that starting today

The light that your love has shown you

Is the light to show your way

The light that your love has shown you

Is the light to show your way
