SOUTHERN
RAIN
Times
were rough when times were lean
Most
the time nobody seemed to care
No
more peace than a southern breeze
Whistling
trough the willow trees
And
i see you...standing there
And
i reach out to touch your face
But
the cold hard facts of life put me in my place
Chorus:
Southern
Rain fallin`down on me
Thinkin`back
to yesterday and the way things used to be
Sweet
home on the radio,why do things have to change
Oh
lord what i would not give to feel that southern rain
Watermelon
growin`on the vine
The
taste of homemade wine
And
the soft touch of your fingertips
Layin`down
by the riverside
Do
you recall how we used to hide
So
i could taste your lips
Though
the winds of change took me from home
So
many years just passed me by
And
now i`m all alone
Repeat Chorus
You
said that we could last forever
But
i had my wild oats yet to sow
Through
every storm and each endeavor
The
past and the love we found
Just
will not let me go
Repeat
Chorus
BURN
DOWN THE TRAILER PARK
I
borrowed some money; i sold my car
I
put an airstream trailer up on blocks
That
satellite dish was my first mistake
She
started watchin`Oprah Winfrey and Ricky Lane
She
cut me down to once a week
At
supper time there wasn`t nothing to eat
I
was paranoid and scared to death
She
came home with aqua velva on her breath
Chorus:
Burn
down the trailer park
Shoot
the pink flamingos out in the yard
I
can`t live here since you broke my heart
I`m
gonna burn down the trailer park
She
hired the neighbor`s son to cut our grass
She
gave him cold ice tea and a piece of pie
My
landlord came while i was out of town
Our
pipes got fixed and the rent went down
We
fell asleep with the late show on
Now
it`s 3.AM i wake up and she`s gone
I`ve
got a strong suspicion she`s at it again
And
since i don`t know which trailer she`s in
I`m
gonna...
Repeat
Chorus
Jenny
Jones don`t understand
Geraldo
don`t understand
Maury
Povich sure don`t understand
I`ve
got a can of gas and I´m a dangerous man
Repaet
Chorus...
YOU
WON`T BE LONELY NOW
I
know you've seen all your dreams turn to dust
I
know your heart's been left in the rain to rust
But
you won't be lonely now
I
see a long trail of tears in your eyes
Back
to the day when the innocence died
But
you won't be lonely now
I
wanna give you everything you need
I
wanna show you
You
won't be lonely
You
won't be lonely now
Holding
you here like a rose in the dark
I
make this promise to you from my heart
You
won't be lonely now
I
wanna give you everything you need
I
wanna show you
You
won't be lonely now
I'd
do anything to make you see
How
I'm gonna love you
You
won't be lonely
You
won't be lonely
Now
that
you're here in my arms I'm alive
For
the first time in a long time I
Look
at my face in the mirror and see
The
man that I've wanted to be
Oh
Yeah
I
wanna give you everything you need
I
wanna show you
You
won't be lonely now
I'll
do anything to make you see
How
I'm gonna love you
You
won't be lonely
You
won't be lonely
You
won't be lonely now
ACHY
BREAKY HEART
You
can tell the world,you never was my girl,
you
can burn my clothes up 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 arms go back onto the farm
you
can tell my feet to hit the floor
or
you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
they
won`t be reachin`out for you no-more
But
don`t tell my heart,my achy breaky heart
I
just don`t think he`d understand
and
if you tell my heart,my achy breaky heart
he
might blow up and kill this man
You
can tell you Ma I moved to Arkansas
or
you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or
tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
he
never really liked me anyway
or
tell your aunt Louise,tell anything you please
myself
already knows I`m not okay
or
you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
it
might be walkin`out of me today
But
don`t tell my heart,my achy breaky heart...
Give
My Heart To You
I
gave two teeth in a teenage brawl
For
a girl whose name I can`t recall
Then
we broke up
I
gave a knee to the football team
Chasing
that high school state champ dream
We
almost won
I
gave junior college almost a year
Then
I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks
And
that`s how i got here
Chorus:
I
give all my money for a slice of daily bread
I
give forty honest hours to a boss I never met
And
I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So
there ain`t much left to offer
But
I give my heart to you
I
gave a beard and a head of hair
To
a boot camp corporal with a barber`s chair
At
Camp LeJeune
I
gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for
Twenty-four
mounths,not a minute more
I
just didn`t fit in
Then
I gave a high school friend of mine a call
And
we gave a body shop a try
`Til
we gave up last fall
(Chorus)
BUSY
MAN
There`s
a little boy out in the driveway.
His
basketball in hand,
saying
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
sister`s out on the sidewalk,
setting
up a lemonade stand.
Hey,Daddy,don`t
you want to buy a glass from me.
You
say,maybe later,can`t you see,I`m a busy man.
Chorus:
You
gotta go,gotta run,hit it hard and get it done.
Everyone
can see you`re going far.
You
got responsibilities,A crazy schedule that you keep.
Andwhen
you say the time`s a wasting,
you
don`t know how how right you are.Busy man.
There`s
a woman in the bedroom crying.
Saying,I
thought we had plans.
You
say,honey,I`m sorry,I`ll make it up
when
the job slows down and I`m not such a busy man.
Chorus:
You
gotta go,gotta run,hit it hard and get it done.
Everyone
can see you`re going far.
You
got responsibilities,A crazy schedule that you keep.
Andwhen
you say the time`s a wasting,
you
don`t know how how right you are.Busy man.
Have
you ever seen a head stone with these words:
If
only I had spent more time at work.
There`s
a call one day from the office.
They
need you down in Birmingham.
You
say,no way,the weekend`s mine.
I
got plans with the kids and a day with my wife.I`m a busy man.
Chorus
wechseld:
You
gotta go,gotta run.Take a break and have some fun.
Those
who love you most say you`ve come far.
Got
some new priorities in that schedule that you keep,
and
when you say the time`s a wasting,
now
you know how right you are.
Busy
Man,Busy Man.
IT`S
ALL THE SAME TO ME
Girl
you can head north,south,east or west
Which
way you go i couldn`t care less
It
don`t matter if this ain`t where you want to be.
You
can take the couch.you can take the chair.
It
makes no difference.I don`t care.
Can`t
you see it`s all the same to me.
Refrain:
You
can put me on some island in the middle of the sea.
Lock
me in a prison with no chance of ever being free.
Run
a dragger through my heart,stand back and watch me bleed.
Or
baby you can leave,it`s all the same to me.
Day
or night rain or shine,
I`ll
be alone still losing my mind.
Without
you it`s all the same to me.
Repeat
Refrain
I
could never love someone else.
If
i can`t have you,you might as well,
Just
put me on some island in the middle of the sea.
Lock
me in a prison with no chance of ever being free.
Run
a dragger trough my heart.Stand back and watch me bleed,
Or
baby you can leave,it`s all the same to me.
Yeah
baby if you leave,it`s all the same to me
It`s
all the same to me.it`s all the same to me
Yeah
baby if you leave
It`s
all the same to me
Baby,baby
if you leave
It`s
all the same to me.
UNDER
THE HOOD
Well
my first love was a little Corvette
All
done up in lipstick red
I
thought it`d last forever`til the motor blew
Well
i guess i didn`t look close enough
It`s
a little bit just like falling in love
Looks
don`t mean a thing,if the heart ain`t true.
Chourus:
It
might be a cool ride,smooth lines
Something
been custom made out in Hollywood
But
when you get done gazing at the outside
You
better start checking out the inside
If
you want a love build to last,you better look real good.
And
see what`s under the hood.
Sporty
little model standing by the door
So
i took her for spin on the old dance floor
Headlights
shining bright but nobody home
Now
i need something that`s more my speed
Got
a whole lotta time to find what i need
So,
i put her in park and headed on off for home.
Repead
Chourus twice
You
better look real good,and see what`s under the hood.
