Roll

|
Was rollin’ down this four lane
In a rig that acts as home
And I find my thoughts
Keep drifting back to you
Got a thousand miles behind me
‘bout a million more to go
So God please help
This eighteen Wheeler roll
It’s been a month since I’ve seen you
Guess the kids are getting tall
Gotta drop this load
'n get another ‘cross the line
I’d give anything to be there
But it’s outta my control
So God please help
This eighteen wheeler roll
I’m gonna roll on home to see you
Then roll you in my arms
Rollin’ with the kids down on the floor
Gonna roll those pennies for a rainy day
Now it’s time for me to roll on out the door
Eighteen wheels are the lifeblood
Of this country that I love
And I’m proud to have the chance
To do my part
But the cost is so much greater
Than the fuel and all the tolls
So God please help this eighteen wheeler roll
I’m gonna roll on home to see you
Then roll you in my arms
Rollin’ with the kids down on the floor
We’d better roll those pennies
For a rainy day
Then it’s time for me to roll on out the door
I’m gonna roll on home to see you
Then roll you in my arms
Rollin’ with the kids down on the floor
We’d better roll those pennies
For a rainy day
Then it’s time for me to roll on out the door
And I can't wait to get back home to you
Now it's time for me to roll on out the door

Note From God
03:30
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
The things that I witnessed
That you didn’t know
Are all telling me
That it’s time to go
So unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
VS.1:
Ya said that you loved me
That I owned your heart
Said you were hit really hard
When Cupid shot his dart
But those were pretty words
Tryin’ to make me believe
So you could have it all ways
As you lie and deceive
Chorus:
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
The things that I witnessed
That you didn’t know
Are all telling me
That it’s time to go
So unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
Vs. 2:
You came on so pretty
You came on so sweet
I fell hard for ya baby
‘Cause you hid your deceit
My judgement was blinded
My head all abuzz
But now I see that pretty is…
As pretty does
So…
Tag-Chorus:
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
Unless you’ve got a note from God
I don’t want to talk to you
I don’t want to talk to you
I don’t want to talk to you

Vs. 1
Well she learned long ago, that she didn’t care
‘Bout what folks thought of her clothing, makeup or hair
“Oh mama” she cried, “Please don’t nag
‘Cause tryin’ to keep up with the Jones', is really a drag"
Vs. 2
Then she learned to play “nice nice” and social politics
She finally tried to please her Mama, and wear the perfect shade of lipstick
She tried to be what others want, her husband, lover, boss
But living life for others, who she really is got lost
Chorus:
So wild woman don’t get the blues
They do what they want to, love who they choose
They might go places, you’ve never been
Oh and they don’t give a damn, what you think of them
‘Cause wild woman don’t get the blues
Vs. 3
When she came into herself, this is what she found
A really earthy woman, rising from the ground
Experienced in love and life, she goes on giving
But now she does it in her own way, ‘cause it’s her life she’s living
Vs. 4
Now she dances when she wants to, and trusts her faith in God
Yeah, she'll stay up all night watching the sun rising on the pond
She ain’t afraid to love you, or leave you if she choose
She loves all kinds of music, Folkie, Country and Blues
Chorus:
So wild woman don’t get the blues
Do what they want to, love who they choose
They might go places, you’ve never been
Oh and they don’t give a damn, what you think of them
‘Cause wild woman don’t get the blues
Wild woman don’t get the blues
Wild woman don’t get the blues

Find Me Someone New

|
Vs. 1:
Got up this morning
With tears in my eyes
‘Cause you were out all night
And you didn’t say why
When I asked if you’d been cheatin'
Or if you'd stayed true
You turned your back on me
Then you withdrew
Chorus:
Oh women need a reason
Men just need a place
There’s a dozen other women
You wanna embrace
Ain't gonna break my heart
On a man like you
Gonna pull my head together
And find me someone new
Vs. 2:
My girl friend called said
She’d heard rumors on the street
Wondered how I was doin’
Tried to sound upbeat
She said "Don’t you fret
‘Cause he’s just a man
You know they all run around
And don’t give a damn"
Chorus:
Oh women need a reason
Men just need a place
There’s a dozen other women
You wanna embrace
Ain't gonna break my heart
On a man like you
Gonna pull my head together
And find me someone new
Vs. 3:
It’s a question for the ages
One we’ll never understand
Seems it’s just the difference
‘tween a woman and a man
She’ll keep herself for him
In every situation
Thenhe’ll spread himself around
At the slightest invitation
Chorus:
Oh women need a reason
Men just need a place
There’s a dozen other women
You wanna embrace
Ain't gonna break my heart
On a man like you
Gonna pull my head together
And find me someone new

VS. 1:
The Alarm went off at 6 AM
Sun’s starting to rise
Coffee’s finished brewing
I poured some bleary eyed
Half a spoon of sugar
Then went to get some cream
When I opened up the fridge
It all came rushing back to me
VS. 2:
Mom and Daddy stopped last night
They brought a birthday cake
Said,“We’re worried ‘bout you baby girl
‘Cause we know your heart still aches
Don'tcha sit at home all alone”
They said, “You’ve got so much to give”
But when you walked out of our door
There went my reason to live.
CHORUS:
No bacon, eggs or biscuits
The way I used to do
Every single morning
Before you said, “We’re through”
I just don’t feel like cooking
Since you set me free
Now it’s birthday cake for breakfast
For me
VS. 3:
A guy from work has asked me out
At least a time or two
It’s not that I don’t like him
It’s just that he’s not you
So I'll sit at home all alone
And pray you finally call
But as the silence fills the room
I know there is no hope at all
CHORUS:
No bacon, eggs or biscuits
The way I used to do
Every single morning
Before you said, “We’re through”
I just don’t feel like cooking
Since you set me free
Now it’s birthday cake for breakfast
For me
BRIDGE:
It’s been more than a year now
Since you said goodbye
And I’d give anything
If you’d only change your mind
CHORUS:
No bacon, eggs or biscuits
The way I used to do
Every single morning
Before you said, “We’re through”
I just don’t feel like cooking
Since you set me free
Now it’s birthday cake for breakfast
For me

Vs. 1:
I don’t want to
Tell you how to live
And I don’t want to take
More than you can give
And I don’t want you to be
Anything but you
I don’t want you to
Change for me
And I don't want you to
Stop loving me
And I don’t want you to be
Anything but you
Chorus 1:
I just want you to do everything
That you love to do
And I want you to try new things
Like you've always wanted to
'nd I just, want you
As you are
Vs. 2:
I don’t want you to
Have to lie
And I don’t want you to
Need to ask "Why?"

I don’t want you
To stop talking to me
And I don’t want you to
Stop making love to me
I don’t want to live
without you in my life

I just want you to do everything
That you love to do
And I want you to try new things
Like you’ve always wanted to

|
Vs. 1:
You loved me once
You loved me twice
You loved me hard
Then you loved me nice
Your soft caress
Makes me lose control
Your passionate kiss
Sears me to my soul
Vs. 2:
It don't seem to matter which way I turn
'Cause the thoughts of you
Still make me burn
Your innocent heart
Possesses me
And your wild abandon's
What sets me free...
Chorus:
Heaven and hell
Heaven and hell
It's what you put me through
Heaven and Hell
Oh heaven and hell
Every day that I'm with you
It's heaven and Hell
Vs. 3
Your fiery touch
Courses through my veins
And you seem to think
This is just a game
But the knife you twist
I feel so deep
‘Cause you’re playin’ to play
But I’m playin’ for keeps
Chorus:
Heaven and hell
Heaven and hell
It's what you put me through
Heaven and Hell
Oh heaven and hell
Every day that I'm with you
It's heaven and Hell
Bridge:
When I look at your angel face
I’m witness to
Your state of grace
But sometimes I think
It’s the devil I see
When I look at you
Smilin’ at me…
Chorus:
Oh Heaven and hell
Oh Heaven and hell
It's what you put me through
Heaven and Hell
Oh heaven and hell
Every day that I'm with you

|
VS. 1:
Well you told me baby
You were here to stay
Then when I turned my
Head around
Baby you were on your way
VS. 2:
You told me that you love me
But that ain’t so
You snuck out in the morning baby
Now Why'd you turn to go
VS.3:
My friends tried to tell me
That you ain’t no good

Now I understood
VS.4:
We had so many good times
You had me laughing all night long
Than ya snuck out in the mornin’ baby
Why’d you do me wrong?
VS. 5:
You said I was the best you had
How I use to make you moan
Then you snuck out
In the morning baby
Why'd you do me wrong?

Let ya make a fool of me
I once was blind to ya baby
Blind but now I see
VS. 6:

Head around
Baby you were on your way

Run Out of Road
03:51
|
|||
|
VS. 1:
You spent your whole life
Dreaming those dreams
While others were off
Scheming their schemes
You worked your way up to the top
And you finally reigned supreme
Then one day you hit a wall
Or so it seems
Chorus:
When you run outta road
And you can’t keep going
When you run outta road
And their ain’t no bend
When there’s nowhere to turn
Still your wheels keep spinning, yeah
I know you may not believe it
It’s not the end!
VS. 2:
You gave it all the best you had to give
Though often she was soooo insensitive
When she said,
She’d met somebody new
It came screeching to an end
Now you’re sure you’ll never, ever love again…
Chorus:
When you run outta road
And you can’t keep going
When you run outta road
And their ain’t no bend
When there’s nowhere to turn
Still your wheels keep spinning, yeah
I know you may not believe it
It’s not the end!
Bridge:
It’s a twisting turning winding road
Not a straight and narrow path
The route's unmarked and hard to find your way
When it comes to a dead end
Just turn and keep on moving
‘Cause it’s the journey
Not the destination, friend
Vs. 3:
I heard you got a call the other day
A friend said that his brother’d passed away
Though it knocked the wind right out of you
You know you’re the lucky one
‘Cause you still got time and your race isn’t done
Chorus:
When you run outta road
And you can’t keep going
When you run outta road
And their ain’t no bend
When there’s nowhere to turn
Still your wheels keep spinning, yeah
I know you may

Pink Cowboy Boots

Vs. 1:
She was a cute little redhead
Who caught my eye
In pink cowboy boots
As she strutted on by
My heart was thumping
Head started to swell
She was ripe and ready
It was easy to tell…
Chorus 1:
She was hot
Ooooh baby she was hot
She was so hot if you touched her
That you’re skin would burn
Your hair would curl
Your brain would churn
She was hot
Oooh baby she was hot!
Vs. 2:
She winked at me
As she strutted on by
She knew what I was thinking
I could see it in her eyes
She gave me a grin
She was kinda amused
‘Cause she had no doubts
That I wanted to schmooze
Chorus 2:
She was hot
Ooooh baby she was hot
She was so hot if you touched her
That you’re skin would burn
Your hair would curl,
Your brain would churn
She was hot
Oooh baby she was hot!
Vs. 3:
She wore her confidence wrapped
Like her tight mini skirt
I swear my heart
Had started to hurt
The woman were seething
They fried her with their eyes
But she didn’t give a damn
‘Cause it only certified that
Chorus 3:
She was hot
Ooooh baby she was hot
She was so hot if you touched her
That you’re skin would burn
Your hair would curl
Your brain would churn
She was hot
Oooh baby she was hot!
VS. 4:
The music started playing
She grabbed my hand
Pulled me to the dance floor
To honor the band
She shimmied and shaked
She had all the right moves
No doubt her mama would've disapproved
Chorus 4:
She was hot
Ooooh baby she was hot
She was so hot if you touched her
That you’re skin would burn
Your hair would curl
And your brain would churn
She was hot
Oooh baby she was hot!
