ALBUM: EVERYTHING I LOVE


"Little Bitty"

Have a little love on a little honeymoon
You got a little dish and you got a little spoon
A little bitty house and a little bitty yard
A little bitty dog and a little bitty car

Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while

A little bitty baby in a little bitty gown
It'll grow up in a little bitty town
A big yellow bus and little bitty books
It all started with a little bitty look

Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while

You know you got a job and a little bitty check
A six pack of beer and television set
Little bitty world goes around and around
Little bit of silence and a little bit of sound

A good ole boy and a pretty little girl
Start all over in a little bitty world
Little bitty plan and a little bitty dream
It's all part of a little bitty scheme

It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while

It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown or a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while


    




"Everything I Love"

Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep
And when I drink too much then I can't eat
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killin' me

Everything I love is killin' me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turnin' out to be
Everything I love gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killin' me

I guess I made a big mistake
Thinkin' you're a habit I can break
Well, I'm addicted to you now I see
Everything I love is killin' me

Everything I love is killin' me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turnin' out to be
Everything I love gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killin' me
Everything I love gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killin' me


    




"Buicks to the Moon"

How long will I love you 
I don't really know
I'd like to think forever
Is how far we could go
So let me paint a picture
Of how it's gonna be
The day you don't mean everything to me

When a nickel's worth a dollar
And gold ain't worth a dime
When they build a ship on waters that will take you back in time
When the stars have all been counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be driving Buicks to the moon

Now you don't have to worry
About what comes to pass
This old world may wear out
But my love's gonna last
If they ever build that highway to the moon
I'll just find something else to promise you

When a nickel's worth a dollar
And gold ain't worth a dime
When they build a ship on waters that will take you back in time
When the stars have all been counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be driving Buicks to the moon

Oh when the stars have all be counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be drivin' Buicks to the moon


    




"Between The Devil And Me"

This world can take you by the hand
And tempt the soul of any man
But you can choose your path
There's two roads you can take
One way is right and one way is wrong
The flesh is weak, but love is strong
And she's all I see between the devil and me

The gates of hell swing open wide invitin' me to step inside
I'll be your friend, he calls again, I know it's him
The flames are spreadin' everywhere
But through the smoke I see her there
She's all I see between the devil and me

I hold her in my arms tonight
So safe and warm I close my eyes
And a cool breeze blows 'cross our bodies in the dark
Outside her reach is my concern
Somewhere I know a fire burns
And she's all I see between the devil and me

The gates of hell swing open wide invitin' me to step inside
I'll be your friend, he calls again, I know it's him
The flames are spreadin' everywhere
But through the smoke I see her there
She's all I see between the devil and me

The gates of hell swing open wide
Invitin' me to step inside
She's all I see between the devil and me


    




"There Goes"

There you were standin' in the shadows
Well I just looked where I don't see
I'm still pretendin' I don't need you
I won't let you know you're killin' me

Like some big black widow spider
You know just how to catch your prey
I'm actin' like it doesn't matter
And you sneak up from behind and whisper my name

And there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my act of playin' it cool
And there go the words I meant to say
There go the games I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin' for you

Well I think you're playin' with me darlin'
You like to see what you can do
Well I should be fishin' for Blue Marlin
Instead of bein' hooked by again by you

But there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my act of playin' it cool
And there go the words I meant to say
There go the games I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin' for you

Yeah there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my heart fallin' for you
Yeah there goes my heart fallin' for you


    




"A House With No Curtains"

We still were our rings
We still say I love you
We both play the part oh so well
But everyone knows
It's just a sad show
And we're only foolin' ourselves

It's like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see what's inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But heartache has nowhere to hide

We could pack up and leave in different directions
If we just had somewhere to go
We just keep on pretending 
Afraid of the ending
Admitting what everyone knows

It's like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see what's inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But heartache has nowhere to hide

You can turn out the lights
In a house with no curtains
But heartache has nowhere to hide


    




"Who's Cheatin' Who"

Everywhere you look 
You can write a book
On the trouble of a woman and a man
But you can not impose 
You can't stick your nose
Into something that you don't understand

But still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who
Who's being true
And who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doin' right with someone tonight
And who's car is parked next door

I thought I knew her well 
I really couldn't tell
That she had another lover on her mind
You see it felt so right
When she held me tight
How could I be so blind

But still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who 
Who's being true
And who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doin' right with someone tonight
Who's car is parked next door

A heart is on the line 
Each and every time
Love is stolen in the shadows of the night
Though it's wrong all along 
It keeps goin' on
As long as you keep in outta sight

Still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who
And who's being true
Who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doin' right with someone tonight
Who's car is parked next door

Still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who
And who's being true
And who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doin' right with someone tonight
Who's car is parked next door

Still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who
And who's being true
And who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doin' right with someone tonight
Who's car is parked next door


    




"Walk On The Rocks"

After seventeen years behind bars
And lookin' back on his mistakes
He sat down and poured out his heart
When his son came to see him today

He spoke with a voice that trembled
Tryin' to hold back the tears
He said I ain't been much of a father
Son, I wish I could turn back the years

'Cause life's like a river
And the water is deep
Cross it with care
Or you'll end up like me
Let my mistakes
Be your steppin' stones
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

He said son stay away from the bottle
Watch out for the company you keep
And hold on to those you love
'Cause love is a man's greatest need

The right way may not be easy
The right road ain't always straight
Son, please don't follow the footsteps
That lead to where I am today

'Cause life's like a river
And the water is deep
Cross it with care
Or you'll end up like me
Let my mistakes
Be your steppin' stones
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

Walk on the rocks that I stumbled on


    




"Must've Had A Ball"

Well I must've had a ball last night
I can't recall what even started our fight
I must've drank away my blues
'Cause I don't remember losin' you
Well I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowin'
But all the signs are showin'
I must've had a ball last night

Well I woke up this mornin'
Underneath my bed
And someone's in the kitchen sink
With cowboy boots on and nothin' else at all
Except my hat turned backway on her head

Well I must've had a ball last night
I can't recall what even started out fight
Well I must've drank away my blues
'Cause I don't remember losing you
Well I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowin'
But all the signs are showin'
I must've had a ball last night

Well my picture's on the table
Somebody tore it right in two
Well who'd do such a crazy thing
Someone took your suitcase and your little car
And I hate it 'cause the tires are new

Yeah, I must've had a ball last night
I can't recall what even started out fight
I must've drank away my blues
'Cause I don't remember losing you
Well I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowin'
But all the signs are showin'
I must've had a ball last night

Well I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowing
But all the signs are showing
I must've had a ball last night
Well, there ain't way knowin'
But all the signs are showin'
I must've had a ball last night


    




"It's Time You Learned About Good-Bye"

Well, I've been on the wrong side
Of the front door too often
Watched you slam it in my face
Well I may learn the hard way
I'm not a soft one
Tonight I'm standin' in your place

'Cause you taught me a lot about leavin'
Won't even have to try
So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin'
And a chance for you to cry
'Cause it's time you learned about good-bye

I've stood behind you
And I've laid beside you
But I won't do that anymore
'Cause I'm tired of bein'
Just here when you want me
Tonight I'm walkin' out that door

'Cause you taught me a lot about leavin'
Won't even have to try
So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin'
And a chance for you to cry
It's time you learned about good-bye

You taught me a lot about leavin'
Won't even have to try
So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin'
And a chance for you to cry
It's time you learned about good-bye

Yeah, you taught me a lot about leavin'
Won't even have to try
So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin'
And a chance for you to cry
'Cause it's time you learned about good-bye

It's time you learned about good-bye
It's time you learned about good-bye
