Thankful Man
My daddy was blue collar
He worked for the man all of his life
He showed up when he didn't want to be there
A man of his word, believed in doing things right
I remember when i was a kid
He'd say time and time again
It's a good life; it's a real good life
And I'm a thankful man
I'm a thankful man for every turn
On every highway I've been down
Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop
Every storm that turned me around
Oh, it's better than I could have planned
It's made me who I am
It's a good life; it's a real good life
And I'm a thankful man
My mama was a dreamer
But she was the rock that we all leaned on
She taught me about the lessons in life
The difference between what's right and wrong

Nothin But Taillights
(bob dipiero/gerry house/devon oday)
She used to sit in the passenger seat
Tappin on the dash with her bare feet
Poppin that gum and paintin her toenails blue
Shed turn on the radio and crank it up
That girl could never get it loud enough
Shed make up words to songs she thought she knew
Yeah saturday nights wed lead the parade
Of tricked out fords and chevrolets
Wed cruise through town and head down to the lake
Well I was hangin with the boys a little bit later
Talkin bout tires and carburetors
When I happened to see my whole world drive away
Now Ive got nothin but taillights
Nothin but goodbye
Nothin but leavin goin on
And Im nothin but sorry
Got nothin but memories
Shes nothin but taillights gone
I aint sayin she stole that car

Hold You Now
Bob dipiero/porter howell)
I cant take back the things I said
To you in the past
Or make you forget the reasons why
We didnt last
Im haunted by what might have been
Still I cant change who I was back then
But if I could hold you now youd see
Ive turned myself around and now
Im someone youd be proud to love
Id do all the right things, make promises
That Id keep
Itd hurt too much to let you down
And in my arms thered be no room for doubt
If I could hold you now
Its funny how this empty room
Makes it all too clear
When I let you leave
A part of me just disappeared
But if Id known then what Ive come to know

Everything Takes Me Back
(michael p. heeney/casey beathard/michael white)
Its a song on the radio
Its your picture on the wall in my bedroom
Its any one of a million memories
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Its every place that weve ever been
Its running into someone we both knew
Or its the face of a total stranger
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Ive called you up Ive begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So whats it gonna take, what ya wanna hear girl, I think Ive paid my dues
And it might be just but it dont seem fair that everything takes me back but you
Its a sound or its the silence
Its the thought of what Ive done
I cant undo
Or its the dream I cant put behind me
Girl, everything takes me back but you
Ive called you up Ive begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more

Welcome To Hell
Come on in, son, have a seat
Don't mind the screams, Don't mind the heat
It's been like this 'round here for a long, long time.
We haven't had the chance to meet
But i've heard about you on TV
And i think we're gonna get along just fine.
i can't help but notice, you look somewhat surprised.
Did ya think son, after what you've done, The Lord would let you slide?
[Chorus]
Welcome to Hell, your new home
You did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell
i hope for your sake you're the kind
That can stand to burnburn 'till the end of time
'Cause that's exactly what you're gonna do.
There's some lots left on the lake of fire

I'm Tryin'
This gettin up early, pulling double shifts,
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich.
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we've finalized,
I still ain't used to puttin ex in front of wife.
But I'm tryin.
Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she
Calls these days and don't you be late
But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin
I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win,
Get up when you fall
I'm tryin
Don't say nothin that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No don't do that
Daddy I'm tryin

Rough And Ready
Mud grips wide tib
Cigar stickin' outta my face
Earn hard racin' sticker
On the wind banged up finder
4 by 4 straight pipe roar
Primer and rust all over the door
Scard up doubles magbel fuppers
White t-shirt aint afraid to work
Got a what are you lookin' at pretty boy smirk
..::Chorus::..
Cold beer, hot wings
Wranglers, school ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack, ball cap
Don't take no crap
Aint a pretty boy, toy
Well i'll rock you steady
Rough and ready
Work boots, one blue suit
Size too small
