I'm Alone

 (Music)

I don't know where I am don't remember where I been
Can't find out who I am can't find any friends
I'm alone searching for my life
Sorting out the mysteries and strife
I'm alone It's going to be a long night
Sitting there trying to figure out whats right
Music
Tell me what life's about you know more than me no doubt
Lots of people wondering like me just can't figure it out
All alone searching for their life
Sorting out the mysteries and strife
They're all alone It's going to be a long night
Sitting there trying to figure out whats right
(Music)
Preacher man said the answers will come if you kneel down and pray
Open up your bibles and listen to what they say
You're not alone He's with you till the end
Teaching you about love and friends
You're not alone so don't give up the fight
He loves you with all His power and might
(Music)
You have a friend that gave it all He sacrificed His life
Just reach out your hand and He will hold it tight
You're not alone He's with you till the end
Teaching you about love and friends
You're not alone so don't give up the fight
He loves you with all His power and might
(Music)



Moonstruck

I got a song and it's not moaning the blues
I got a song it's about the man in the moon

It can take you up town or it can leave you going down

A country road  it's up to you to choose
 

Step outside on a clear cool dark night

Look around and find it burning bright

You can see it coming down yeah glowing all around

Shining for the whole world to see
                                  

I'm moonstruck in love shot down from above

Happiness is going all around

If your struck by it's moonlight

Everything will be alright

People in love they should not moan the blues

(Music)
Sitting by a lake on a moonlit starry night

My arms around my baby holding her tight

She don't want to fool around

She wants to get out and walk the ground

And stare at that moon shining bright
        

I'm moonstruck in love shot down from above

Happiness is going all around

If your struck by it's moonlight

Everything will be alright

People in love they should not moan the blues
People in love they should not moan the blues



A New Beginning

(Music)
I went down to the river to find a place to jump in
I didn't want to live this life anymore
I was tired of all my struggles weary from all my troubles
And I knew that this was a way out                             
(Music)
Then I heard a voice calling saying why don't you jump for joy
You don't have to live like this  refuse to live it anymore                       

You can walk down a new path that leads to a brand new door

It will open and all you do is walk on in

Well it won't be easy anything worthwhile never is
It a start a new beginning to help us get to the end
This life is to teach us that we can live again
If you believe that hallelujah amen                             
(Music)
Walk away from that river see the clouds just melt away
The life you're living it's a lesson it will teach you everyday
Sometimes there's a reason for the problems that we face
But you'll be stronger to help another someday

I went down to the river to find a place to jump in
I didn't want to live this life anymore
I was tired of all my struggles weary from all my troubles
But I found there's another way out
(Music)



Sometimes You Got To Make Changes

Sometimes you got to make changes  other times you leave it alone
Sometimes everything's uh going right other times everything goes wrong
Well I've had some hot hot women and I've had some cold cold beer
I've been places where I'm welcome and some tell me get the hell out of here

I've had money and hugged sweet honeys and I been broke and sad
Everybody has their ups and downs and you know what I'm talking about
(Music)
Some days are uncertain and you may not understand
Why you can't count on nothing even everything good seems bad
Well I've give up and started cussin and I been on my knees and prayed
I can stay out and party all night sometimes I behave all day

I've had money and hugged sweet honeys and I been broke and sad
Everybody has their ups and downs and you know what I'm talking about
 

Someday I'll be living in the future I won't be dying in the past

For now I'll stay in the present and just turn up one more glass

We will all live till the day that we die it's a natural fact

That will be the last change we can make I hope your ready for that

Sometimes you got to make changes  other times you leave it alone
Sometimes everything's going right other times everything goes wrong



Blind Mans Jar
 

(Music)

Well I was down on the corner with my hand in a blind mans jar
Well I was down on the corner with my hand in a blind mans jar
So hungry I was starving but I never thought I'd go that far

Well the law came and got me and said what an evil man
Yea the law came and got me and said what an evil man
If they was as hungry as I was I'm sure they would understand
(Music)
Well down to the courthouse judge threw the book at me
Yea down to the courthouse judge threw the book at me
But I got a place to stay and I finally got something to eat

Well I done my time and they put me back on the street
Well I done my time and they put me back on the street
But I couldn't find a job and I couldn't find nothing to eat
(Music)

I went to the blind man asked if he'd forgive me
Yea I went to the blind man asked if he'd forgive me

He said yes I will but one thing you do for me
 

There's my jar reach in take all you need
There's my jar reach in take all you need

Well my tears started falling running right down my cheek

That's first kindness anybody's shown to me
Yea that's first kindness anybody's shown to me
I guess sometimes there's only somethings a blind man sees
(Music)
Well I was down on the corner with my hand in a blind mans jar
Yea I was down on the corner with my hand in a blind mans jar
This time was a gift from a man with a great big heart



Been Rode Hard

Well I been a working man all my life                          

Scratchin and uh clawin and uh doin my best

And you can tell by lookin at the lines in my face
I been rode hard and put up wet

Get up every mornin down the road I go
Hurry man hurry go man go
Boss keeps me movin with the crack of his whip

Yes I'm bein rode hard but I ain't dead yet
 

When the day is done barely make it to my truck

Haf't to rest uh minute fore I crank her up

When I get home I grab me uh beer

Flip on the tube and fall in uh chair
 

Don't take long to relieve misery

Weather and sports happy as I can be

This is the life of a workin man

That's been rode hard and put up wet

(Music)

Yes I been uh workin man all my life

Soon I'm uh quitin and I'm tellin you why

All the aches and pains that's reason enough

And this old horse is about to bust

 

                                                                     
When the day is done barely make it to my truck
 Haf't to rest uh minute fore I crank her up

When I get home I grab me uh beer

Flip on the tube and fall in uh chair

 

Get up ever mornin down the road I go
Hurry man hurry go man go
Boss keeps me movin with the crack of his whip
Yes I'm bein rode hard and put up wet
Yes I  been rode hard but I ain't dead yet

(Music)

Well are you lonely   Well I'm lonely too
We need to get together  cause I'm missin you
This bottle of wine and I are doing just fine
I'm staring at your picture it must be uh sign
Well are you lonely   Well I'm lonely too

 

Get on over here my dear I want to love you tonight
And wear something sexy and wear it real tight
And when you walk in show me that little smile
And do that little wiggle that always drives me wild
Well are you lonely    I'm lonely too

Well what you thinkin  Well  I'm thinkin too
Of all our times together and the things we used to do
We had so much fun and we did it all the time
How bout one for the road tonight will be just fine
Well are you lonely   Well I'm lonely too

Get on over here my dear I want to love you tonight
And wear something sexy and wear it real tight
And when you walk in show me that little smile
And do that little wiggle that always drives me wild
Well are you lonely  Well  I'm lonely too

She Thinks I Will

(Music)
You think I will  Oh but I won't

Yea you think I will Oh but I won't

Well you want me to love you  Oh but I don't

When you left me baby so glad to see you go
Yea when you left me baby so glad to see you go
And it won't hurt me if I don't see you anymore
(Music)
You tried to call me on the telephone
Yea you tried to call me on the telephone
But I don't want to listen to your lies anymore

You drove to see me and got out and slammed the door
Yea you drove to see me and got out and slammed the door
Why don't you just forget me find yourself another boy
 

Well you think I will Oh but I won't

Yea you think I will Oh but I won't

Well you want me to miss you Oh but I don't



Homeless

I ain't got no money  but I got plenty of time
And I'm just sittin here with nothin on my mind
I'm just uh homeless person livin out on the street
And the only thing I care about is getting something to eat

I used to have uh job I used to have some money

I used to have uh home I used to have uh honey

But the factory closed down moved out of town

Now I'm walking the street and uh bumming around

I ain't got nothing but the clothes on my back

And I'm starting to smell it's uh natural fact
 

Can you help me my brother give me uh dime or uh quarter

If enough people help me I can get something to eat
 

I don't look for fame I don't search for glory

And all I can do is sit around and worry

Just uh homeless person livin out on the street

I need someone to care about what has happened to me
 

I used to do well till the job market got me

I used to ride around in my old jalopy

Now everything has changed life is upside down

Things are goin bad but I'm still hangin around

I ain't got nothin but the air that I breath

And I'm startin to wonder about the land of the free
 

Can you help me my brother give me uh dime or uh quarter

If enough people help me I can get something to eat
If enough people help me I can get something to eat



I Like To Party

What you going do when the sun comes up
The clock on the wall says it's time to get up
Are you going roll over cover up your head
You stayed up all night when you should've been in bed
Don't you remember what the boss man said
If your late again then your job is dead

Well I like to party down at the honky tonk
Dancing with my baby all night long
Have a few drinks shoot a little pool
Whisper in her ear and act like uh a fool
Hold her real close and boot scoot to
Well uh party like uh this is what I like uh do

When the morning comes  I haft to get up
My back is hurting  my head feels rough
I want to roll over but I better get up
I stayed up all night cause I couldn't get enough
But I remember the boss mans tough
And if I'm late again then He's goin uh cuss

Well I like to party down at the honky tonk
Dancing with my baby all night long
Have a few drinks shoot a little pool
Whisper in her ear and act like uh a fool
Hold her real close and boot scoot to
Well uh party like uh this is what I like uh do
(Music)
I punched in at work about 30 minutes late
The boss came uh running boys he couldn't wait
Started thinking real fast what could I say
Looked at my watch then I stuck it in his face
Look-ee here man can this be right
I only lost 30 minutes staying out all night

Well I like to party down at the honky tonk
Dancing with my baby all night long
Have a few drinks shoot a little pool
Whisper in her ear and act like uh a fool
Hold her real close and boot scoot to
Well uh party like uh this is what I like uh do

But if she's gonna marry someone might as well be me
