40 Days And 40 Nights
(Tommy Barnes)

Well its been rainin' on and on
Ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep rollin' in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight
The bottom falls out again
Well I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been a driftin' Heaven knows how long
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 night since you've been gone

Aw listen to me now
I keep starin' out the window
Searchin' for a rainbow
To signal that the storm will end
Hey 'cause I know that the rain'll keep pourin' on the pane
Until my saint comes back marchin' in
Oh girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone
Yeah it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

A Place In The Sun
(Steve Dukes/Chris Lindsey)

Long ago, far away
I felt your lovin' glow upon my face
Was it a dream or just a promise made
What is my destiny

Someday I'll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there's got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Darkness hangs overhead
Close to the point where angels fear to tread
I close my eyes and think of you instead
And pray you'll be here soon

Someday I'll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there's got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun

Sometimes it feels like this whole world's against me
And every beaten path is just another winding road that tempts me
Far from you and all that's true
I've got to find my way again

Someday I'll find a way to shine
Leave all these rainy days behind
I know there's got to be
Some place warm and bright for me
I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Yeah I'm running out of places I can run
Looking for a place in the sun
Oh, won't you shine down on me sunshine

Ain't No Angels
(Billy Montana/Brad Davis)

I've lead a lifetime fightin' this land
Workin' for nothin' with these dry and callused hands
I'm a slave to the sun it ain't cuttin' me no slack
Gets me beggin' whenever I look back

Ain't no glory in this livin'
Ain't no runnin' from your sins
I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
Ain't no angels where I've been

Three generations countin' on me
To work this farm keep it in the family
Well I've done all I can but it's past becomin' clear
That I can't hold out much longer here

Ain't no glory in this livin'
Ain't no runnin' from your sins
I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
Ain't no angels where I've been

Ain't no glory in this livin'
Ain't no runnin' from your sins
I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
Ain't no angels where I've been
Ain't no angels where I've been

Ain't That Just Like A Dream
(Tony Mullins/Stan Muncey Jr.)

I popped the clutch on that old red Ford
Her daddy would holler and run to the door
Dust would fly as we flew down that old gravel driveway
And lookin' back I can't believe he let her run with a boy like me
He said "You better get her back by ten or there'll be hell to pay"
I can still feel her lips on mine
It's all so real but lost in time

Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free
We were rebels chasin' time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends

Saturday nights we could all be found
Radios up and our windows rolled down
Hearts on fire and holdin' hands sights set on forever
We never thought those days would end we'd never be the same again
Summer would be the last time we would ever be together
I never knew I'd wake up some day
In a brand new world so far away

Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free
We were rebels chasin' time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Ain't that just like a dream
It always ends

Ain't That The Way It Always Ends
(Don Sampson/Skip Ewing)

Johnny came home broken-hearted
Said he lost his girl
He burrowed up all the hurt in his heart
But still a hole in the wall of his world
Now Betty she was a blonde-haired beauty
With an eye for a man who could spend
She stole his heart in a pick-up truck
Then drove off in a Mercedes Benz
And he said...

Oh she looked so innocent
Talkin' 'bout bein' just friends
Oh and it don't make a bit of since
Ain't that the way that it always ends

Sharon she had a long time dream
And only one man in her life
He kept her waitin'
But she didn't care
Cuz he promised her he'd make her his wife
Now Billy he had a good thing goin'
But he let it go to his head
He got jealous late one night
She caught them both in her bed
And she said...

Oh he looked so innocent
Talkin' 'bout bein' just friends
Oh and it don't make a bit of since
Ain't that the way that it always ends

Oh it always looks so innocent
Talkin' 'bout bein' just friends
Oh and it don't make a bit of since
Ain't that the way it always ends
Ain't that the way it always ends
Ain't that the way it always ends

All I Want Is A Life

I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the freeway
A little vacation...ain't askin' very much
I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet
No I don't want it all...but I ain't got enough
Chorus:
All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs...I want a piece of that pie...
All I want is a life

I don't mind the pain that comes from workin'
But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurtin'
Wanna give her that diamond...I never got to buy
She keeps tellin' me that everything is gettin better
But one step up the rung
And someone knocks me off the ladder
Just wanna break even someday before I die

Repeat Chorus

All We Ever Find

Say Exactly how you feel
Right now you're free to say it all
There is no one here to judge you I only love you
You're free to close you eyes and fall
You can trust me this is real
Say exactly how you feel

Chorus
Tell me all your dreams
What you think love means
We'll lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment might be
All we ever find

Every breath of who you are
Tells a story that I love
I have finally found the truth in what I see in you
And what I feel with every touch
The simple beauty of your heart
In every breath of who you are
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment might be
All we ever find

Repeat Chorus 2 times

Angel Boy
(Danny Orton)

My mother said there's only one way
A sweet angel boy, narrow and straight
Timing his past, teachings they fade
Now their angel boy has gone astray

I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have I gone too far now
Have I lost my wings

I found a priest, I spoke my mind
Asked if I'd sinned one too many times
He said "My son, you're only a man"
Then I said, "Sir, you don't understand"

I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have I gone too far now
Have I lost my wings

God help us all for what we have done
We've lost our way, we can't find the Son
We make our beds, we seal our fate
Is there still time, or is it too late

We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now
Have we lost our wings

We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath our my skin
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
Or have we gone too far now
Have we lost our wings

Have we lost our wings

Angry All The Time
(with back up by Faith Hill)
(Bruce Robison)

Here we are
What is left of a husband and a wife four good kids
Who have a way of gettin on with their lives
I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day
It's too late to keep from goin' crazy
I got to get away

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time

Our boys are strong the spittin image of you when you were young
I hope someday they can see past what you have become
I remember every time I said I'd never leave
What I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time

Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door
I never quite made it back to the one I was before
And God it hurts me to think of you
For the light in your eyes was gone sometimes
I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone

The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
And I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
You ain't the only one Who feels like this world left you far behind
I don't know why you gotta be Angry All The Time

Back When

Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymore

We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

I love my records
Black, shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops
And white noise
Man they sounded fine
I had my favorite stations
The ones that played them all
Country, soul and rock-and-roll
What happened to those times?

I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
Cause they put pop in my country
I want more for my money
The way it was back then

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

Give me a flat top for strumming
I want the whole world to be humming
Just keep it coming
The way it was back then

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when
