"We Made It As Lovers (We Just Couldn't Make It As Friends)"



Boy, this week sure had a lot of Mondays
I ain't never seen it quite so hard
Getting over a Sunday before
I guess there's a simple solution
Good times sometimes just end

We made it as lovers
That's as close as we've ever been
We made it as lovers
We just couldn't make it as friends

The hardest part of broken romances
Is having to learn all those brand new dances

"Weakness In A Man"


Honey, how you've changed
It makes me wonder have I ever really known you
How could you abuse and use
The kindeness and tenderness that I have shown you.

If I had known then, I have shown
The strenght on which my love could make a stand
But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness
For the weakness in your man.

I can give you almost anything
If I know what you're looking for
I can give you everything
Any other man can give and more.

He may promise you the world
But I can give you everything he can
So don't mistake my tenderness
For any sign of weakness in your man.

[Instrumental]

I may live my life alone
With walls of stone inside some lonely cell
But no man's gonna take the love I own
And never live to tell the tale.

So don't forsake the vows you made
And don't remove my little golden band
And don't mistake my tenderness
For any sign of weakness in your man.

Don't mistake my tenderness
For any sign of weakness in your man...

"What About You"



The days have been long and I have been lonesome
Recalling the dreams that never came true
Nights have been lonely but now that's all over
'Cause I've payed my debt for trusting in you.

Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every night no longer you'll haunt me
My conscience is clear, what about you?

It's hard to believe that you are the same one
That once meant so much that I loved so true
It's hard to know I've worshipped to wrong one
But I've paid for it what about you.

Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every night no longer you'll haunt me
My conscience is clear, what about you?

Every day your mem'ry grows dimmer
Clouds drift away, sunshine peeps through
Every night no longer you'll haunt me
My conscience is clear, what about you?..

"What Bothers Me Most"



I could lay aside my better judgement
I could turn my back on all the pain
Make believe you mean it when you touch me
And be fool enough to think you'd change

I'm no fool and you're not changing
You know I'm telling the heartbreaking truth
You've gone wild and I'm going crazy
And what bothers me most is I don't bother you

Late at night you're such a great temptation
I'm too weak to fight you everytime
Lying in my bed of desperation
I want you lying in these arms of mine

I'm no fool and you're not changing...
Oh what bothers me most is I don't bother you

"What Makes A Man Wander"


What makes me wanna roam
When I got so much love at home
What makes a man wander
What makes a man wander?

The whistle of a train
Does something to my brain
What makes a man wander
What makes a man wander?

I know I love you as much as I ever could love anyone
Yet I'm still gone
I come back and I vow to settle down
Now then I'm gone with the dawn.

What makes me wanna roam
When I got so much love at home
What makes a man wander
What makes a man wander?

[Instrumental]

I know I love you as much as I ever could love anyone
Yet I'm still gone
I come back and I vow to settle down
Now then I'm gone with the dawn.

What makes me wanna roam
When I got so much love at home
What makes a man wander
What makes a man wander?

Oh, what makes a man wander
What makes a man wander?...

"What You'll Do When I'm Gone"



Staring at the door
Every night I'm thinking more and more
About walking out that door.

I know some day I will
Although I'm standing still someday I will
I know someday I will.

As right as we were we are wrong
Nothing's going to change what we've done
The only thing that keeps me from going, babe
Is wondering what you'll do when I'm gone.

There's somethin' in your eyes
I swear your eyes are tellin' me goodbye
Goodbye is in your eyes.

You can call it pride
But my thoughts of someone else here by your side
That's killing me inside.

As right as we were we are wrong
Nothing's going to change what we've done
The only thing that keeps me from going, babe
Is wondering what you'll do when I'm gone.

Staring at the door
Every night I'm thinking more and more
About walking out that door...

"What's Left Of Me"



I've been cheated, mistreated, broken man, defeated
No one wanted or needed any part of me
I've been bothered and shattered till my heart's torn and tattered
Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me?

I've been busted, disgusted, hurt by those I trusted
There's a big old hurt inside where my heart should be
I've been lied on and cried on, cheated on and spited on
Even dogs think that I'm a tree
Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me?

I've been rocked on and socked on, this heart of mine's been tread on
I been cryin' so long my eyes can hardly see
I've been bad lucked, half crocked till my mind is shell shocked
Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me?

I've been busted, disgusted, hurt by those I trusted
There's a big old hurt inside where my heart should be
I've been lied on and cried on, cheated on and spited on
Even dogs think that I'm a tree
Baby, are you sure you want what's left of me?...

"Whatever Gets You Through The Night"



Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever makes everything all right
I'm not the kind to judge you
See what you do is all right with me
Whatever gets you through the night.

Well, some guys just don't care
They say play all nights and sleep all day
Then some work till the day they die
Some get rich and some get by.

Some spend the lifetime having fun
Some say they're gonna wait till Jesus comes
Some say that girls are their downfall
Some boys don't like girls at all
Whatever gets you through the night.

Well, some like cars and fancy clothes
Some live fast and some live slow
Some spend their life searchin' for truth
Some come to church in a three piece suit.

Well, I heard a good woman's all you need
I heard some guys need two or three
Some want to save the world I'm told
Some just want to rock'n roll
Whatever gets you through the night.

Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever makes everything all right
I'm not the kind to judge you
See what you do is all right with me
Whatever gets you through the night...

"When I Get Big"



I might drive a truck, I might drive a train
I might sail a boat or fly an airplane
Might take a rocket ship to the moon
I'm growin' pretty fast so it might be soon.

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big.

Someday I'll leave mom and dad all alone
Make a lot of money then come back home
I'll buy everybody everything they like
And even buy myself a brand new bike.

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big.

I might be president and stop all the wars
And make people happy wherever they are
Protect all the animals the dolphins and the whales
If people try to hurt 'em I'll put 'em in jail.

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big.

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big.

When I get big, when I get big
That's what I'm gonna do when I get big...

"Where Corn Don't Grow"



As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raised
Stared out at the dusty fields where daddy always worked hard eveyday
I think it kind of hurt him when i said "Daddy there's a lot that I don't know
But don't you ever dream about a life where corn don't grow"

He just sat there silent staring in his favorite coffee cup
I saw a storm of mixed emotions in his eyes when he looked up
He said "Son I know at your age it feels like this ol' world is turning slow
And you think you'll find the answer to it all,where corn don't grow"

Hard times are real,there's dusty fields
No matter where you go
You may change your mind,'cause the weeds are high
Where corn don't grow

I remember feeling guilty when daddy turned and walked back in the house
I was only seventeen back then but it seems like I knew more than I do now
I can't say he didn't tell me this city life's a hard row to hoe
It's funny how a dream can turn around,where corn don't grow

Hard times are real,there's dusty fields
No matter where you go
You may change your mind,'cause the weeds are high
Where corn don't grow

You may change your mind,'cause the weeds are high

Where corn don't grow

"Where Do We Go From Here"


Time keeps changing lanes and shifting gears
Racin' down the road that disappears
Where do we go from here?

Sometimes, it's hard to live like I was [?]
Tryin' to survive these modern days
The old fashioned way

Time keeps changing lanes and shifting gears
Racin' down the road that disappears
Where do we go from here?

"Where Does Love Go"



There's a photograph in a gold frame on the mantle
I?ve never seen two people more in love
What a stark contrast to the picture of us standing
On the edge of giving in and giving up

Something so real don't just disappear
If it goes away it must go somewhere
Till we find the answer, we?ve got to hold on
Where does love go when it's gone?
Where does love go when it's gone?

Life's a long highway with a lot of private places
There's times that we've both thought of finding one
But there ain't no way we're giving up forever
It's like saying there won't be a rising sun

Something so real don't just disappear
If it goes away it must go somewhere
Till we find the answer we?ve got to hold on
Where does love go when it's gone?
Where does love go when it's gone?

"Where Love Has Died"



If my years were less, if my shoes were new
I'd pack my things and I'd leave you
Hitch myself to some westbound train
You'd never see me here again.

If I could dream as I once could
I'd be gone gone for good
I don't want to live, haven't another try
In some old house where love has died.

We once had love, it's gone now
Don't know when, don't know how
We're two strangers under one roof
No need to like it, we both know the truth.

Love has gone, there's nothing left
I wanna leave, I can't help myself
I don't want to live haven't another try
In some old house where love has died.

Too many ghosts walk the floor
Ghosts of the love that ain't no more
I'd like to have what we once had
And there ain't no use, that's too bad.

You're too much a part of me
For me to be ever free
We keep living but never try
In some old house where love has died...

"Where Would I Be"



Well, I guess I've been blessed with good luck and fortune
All that I have is more than enough
I've tried to work hard but it ain't been easy
But compared to most it ain't been too rough.

I've had it all Lord knows
I'm thankful the life that I lead is some kind of dream
I've got buses and trucks and stuffs that all make loud noises
Why I even own things that I ain't never seen.

And it fills me with pride when I hear them say
There goes a good ol' boy who made it through
I count my blessings with each of your kisses
When you add it all up where would I be without you.

You helped me along like an angel of mercy
My nature is such that I could've strayed
But your tender love has always controled me
Where others would leave you always have stayed.

And it fills me with pride when I hear them say
There goes a good ol' boy who made it through
I count my blessings with each of your kisses
When you add it all up where would I be without you.

Where would I be without you...

"Which Way Do I Go (Now That I'm Gone)"



I put yesterday and half the night between us
Made up my mind this time I'm gonna stay
Now I'm sitting on the shoulder thinking it all over
Looking for a sign that might show me the way

Which way do I go, now that I'm gone
Which way do I turn, now that I've learned how to be strong
Do I take the road that takes me back to where it all went wrong
Which way do I go, now that I'm gone

Now I listen to the midnight rain that's falling
Watch the headlines glisten as they pass me by
And I envy them for knowing exactly where they're going
Just like I thought I knew when I told you goodbye

Which way do I go, now that I'm gone
Which way do I turn Lord, now that I've learned how to be strong
Do I take the road that takes me back to where it all went wrong
Which way do I go, now that I'm gone
Which way do I go, now that I'm gone

"Whistlers And Jugglers"


You take the lady...I'll take the lesson
I can't say that anyone's...Doin' me wrong
Cause I always knew....That the girl had a weakness
For whistlers and jugglers....and singers of songs

Now she was a child...Back when I first met her
And the woman inside her...Was just bein' born
And I knew she'd come with me...Cause she had a fever
For whistlers and jugglers...and singers of songs.

And the whistler will whistle her...A song she can dance to
And jugglers will cheer her...When she starts to cry
The singer will sing her.....A bed of red roses
Where she might let you....lie by her side

She'll laugh in the face...of the wealthy and famous
And you'll never lose her..To the handsome or strong
But all of your life son...Watch over your shoulder
For whistlers and jusgglers...and singers of songs..

[Repeat the chorus]

"White Lightning"



Well, in North Carolina, way back in the hills
Lived my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightning until the sun went down
And then he'd fill him a jug

And he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin'
You're pappy's corn squeezin'
White lightning

Yeah, the G-Men, T-Men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
White lightning

Well, I asked my old pappy
Why he called his brew
White lightning instead of mountain dew
I took a little sip and right away I knew

As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue
Lightnin' started flashin'

Thunder started clashin'
White lightning

Yeah, the G-Men, T-Men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'
White lightning

Well, a city slicker came
And he said, "I'm tough
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff"
He took one slug and he drink it right down

And I heard him moanin' as he hit the ground
Mighty, mighty pleasin'
You're pappy's corn squeezin'
White lightning

Yeah, the G-Men, T-Men, revenuers too
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew
They were lookin', tryin' to book him
But my pappy kept on cookin'

"Why Should We Try Anymore"



What's the use to deny we've been living a lie
That we should have admited before
We were just victims of a half hearted love
So why should we try anymore.

The vows that we make are only to break
We drift like a wave from the shore
The kisses we steal we know are not real
So why should we try anymore.

The dreams that we knew can never come true
They're gone to return no more
False love like ours fades with the flowers
So why should we try anymore.

Our story so old, again has been told
In the past, let's close the door
And smile, don't regret but live and forget
There's no use to try anymore.

Why should we try anymore...

"Wild Ones"



Straight out of nowhere
And a little bit out of our minds
We were courting disaster
With one foot over the line
It was one for the show
And two for ol' Shorty and me
We were the wild ones
We had the town up a tree

We were the wild ones
The ones they couldn't control
We were survivors
Good hearts, body and soul
We were the winners
Cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail

She was a lady
When a lady wasn't easy to be
Hangin' in limbo
She started hangin' with me
We were the music
Cause we had a song we could sing
We were the wild ones
And we had the world on a string

We were the wild ones
The ones they couldn't control
We were survivors
Good hearts, body and soul
We were the winners
Cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail

We were the wild ones
The ones they couldn't control
We were survivors
Good hearts, body and soul
We were the winners
Cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones
And we had the world by the tail

We had the world by the tail.

"Will The Wolf Survive?"



Through the chill of winter
Running across a frozen lake
Hunters hard right on his trail
All odds are against him
With a family to provide for
But one thing he must keep alive
Will the wolf survive?
Will the wolf survive?

Drifting by the roadside
Climbs a strong and aging face
Wants to make some honest pay
Losing to the rainstorm
He's got two strong legs to guide him
Two strong arms keep him alive
Will the wolf survive?

Standing in the pouring rain
All alone in a world that's changed
Running scared now forced to hide
In a land where he once stood with pride
But he'll find his way by the morning light

Sounds across the nation
Coming from your hearts and minds
Battered drums and old guitar
Singing songs of passion
It's the truth that they all look for
Something they must keep alive
Will the wolf survive?
Will the wolf survive?
Will the wolf survive?
