Don't Mention Memphis
Mister, you can take me into Little Rock
I'll buy the coffee and I'll fill your truck
I'll listen all night if you wanna talk
Just don't mention Memphis
We can talk about your family
Politics and music and philosophy
Any ol' subject's all right with me
Just don't mention Memphis
Or blue eyes
And light brown hair
An angel wavin' to me
From the top of the stairs
The hardest thing I did
Was leave her standing there
So don't mention Memphis
Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup
We'll make Texas with a little luck
And I'm hanging with you 'til the sun comes up
So don't mention Memphis
Or blue eyes

Aint No Angels
(billy montana/brad davis)
(track 5 - time 3:06)
Ive lead a lifetime fightin this land
Workin for nothin with these dry and callused hands
Im a slave to the sun it aint cuttin me no slack
Gets me beggin whenever I look back
Aint no glory in this livin
Aint no runnin from your sins
I hope theres angels where Im goin
Aint no angels where Ive been
Three generations countin on me
To work this farm keep it in the family
Well Ive done all I can but its past becomin clear
That I cant hold out much longer here
Aint no glory in this livin
Aint no runnin from your sins
I hope theres angels where Im goin
Aint no angels where Ive been
Aint no glory in this livin
Aint no runnin from your sins

All I Want Is A Life
I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesnt break down on the freeway
A little vacation..... aint askin very much
I hate comin home to this old broken down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every whole thats in the carpet
No I dont want it all... but I aint got enough
Chorus
All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that aint dry
Im sick of the crumbs I want a peice of that pie
All I want is a life.
I dont mind the hours and the pain that comes from workin
But its enough to kill me when I see my baby hurtin
Wanna give her that diomond.... I never got to buy
She keeps tellin me that everything is gettin better
But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder
Just wanna break even someday before I die
Repeat chorus

Where The Green Grass Grows
Six lanes, tail lights
Red ants marchin into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper
From a sack
A 99 cent heart attak
I got a poundin head and an achin back
And the camels standin in a big straw stack
Chorus:
Im gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good lords blessed
Point our rockin chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river cools
Where the green grass grows
Well Im from
A map dot
A stop sign on a blacktop
I caught the first bus that I could hop from there

My Old Friend
My old friend I recall
The times we had are hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold
Cause they laugh and they cry me and
somehow sanctify me
And they're woven in the stories I have told
And tell again
My old friend I apologize
For the years that have passed since the
last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
But the runnin' and the races and the
people and the places
There was always somewhere else I had to be
And time gets thin my old friend
Don't know why don't know why
Don't know why don't know why
Solo
My old friend this song's for you
Cause a few simple verses was the least

She Never Lets It Go To Her Heart
Everywhere I go, theyre staring at her
Every man I know he wants to have her
I guess I ought to be a jealous man
I look the other way, theyre hittin on her
Every night and every day, they telephone her
They try to get to her but I know they cant
Chorus
She never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart
She walks into the room and everybody watches every move
Hoping she dont love me
I know it by the way they hang around
But they dont realize theres more to her than
What meets the eye thats why Im certain
No matter what they do to reach her now
Repeat chorus

When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)
She was reading a book that she'd already read,
Just to pass the time.
He just sat there and stared at the TV set,
Like it was barely alive.
And when the local news was over,
They would climb the stairs,
And crawl in bed underneath the covers,
Like neither one was there.
-Chorus-
It's a long, long way,
Across the great divide.
The songs that they once sang,
Now echo far and wide.
They could still get back,
All the love that they have lost,
But only if they both will reach across.
Cause its a long, long way to the other side,
Of the great divide.
He wa sup in the attic on the fourth of July,
Cause they flew a flag in the yard.

Real Good Man
Girl youve never known no one like me
Up there in your high society
They might tell you Im no good
Girl they need to understand
Just who I am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby Im a real good man
I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That dont mean I dont respect
My mama or my uncle sam
Yes sir, yes maam
I may be a real bad boy
But baby Im a real good man
I might have a reckless streak
At least a country-mile wild
If youre gonna run with me
Its gonna be a wild ride
When it comes to loving you
Ive got velvet hands

Can't Tell Me Nothin'
1986 Harley blowin' smoke and suckin' oil
My daddy said, "Buy it and you're crazy boy"
Can't tell me nothin'
It took two months to fix it up
One day to lay it down
I got little hitch in my get-along now
Can't tell me nothin'
Chorus:
Talk is cheap
And free advice is worth the price you pay
I have to find out for myself the hard way
Can't tell me nothin'
Hometown homecoming sweet heart
Nobody thought I had a prayer
Her momma said, "Boy, don't come around here"
Can't tell me nothin'
They say be careful what you wish for
I wanted to be her man
Two babies and a trailer later here I am
Can't tell me nothin'

Not A Moment Too Soon
(wayne perry/joe barnhill)
(track 5 - time 3:47)
I was standing at the end of my rainbow
With nowhere to go and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were just way too much to hope for
But when I saw you I knew Id seen the light
And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didnt have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
I used to think that love would never find me
And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me I knew Id found forever
You rescued me just before I crossed the line
And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
