Paper Thin

Monday, May 16th, 2011

I was gonna get up off that bar stool
Just as soon as I could figure it out
Why I was overlooked at the car pool
Stood up at the dance with no twist and shout

When you’re burnin’ with your last desire
And every memory haunts you
You write it down in alcohol fire
‘Cause that’s the only flame that wants...

You Caught Me Laughin’

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

We went to church last Sunday
I held your little hand
And we listened to the gospel
Of an old time preachin’ man

In the middle of the sermon
He cracked a little smile
And said "Jesus will take care of you"
"I’ll see you after while"

CHORUS:
Well you caught me laughin’
Though...

After All This Time

Monday, February 28th, 2011

After all this time
I’m glad your loving me
‘Cause after all this time
So many disagree
To turn off the lights
Or pull down the shade
Don’t be afraid
After all this time

And after all this time
I’m glad that you can see
After all this time
And I’m the man I want to be
Strong...

I Could Use An Angel

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Who tipped you off
How could she betray me
These hungry fingers
They found us guilty for love
And she said her lips were sealed
Easing my conscience

Now what has been done
That you were the first one to know
I thought we were sleeping
Who said that dreams don’t come true?
This was her dream for revenge

My Sweet Girl

Friday, July 30th, 2010

My sweet girl with you eyes so bright
Don’t leave me in the dark tonight
The sun’s turned down, the moon is low
And I know secrets you don’t know

Do you hear the wind whispering
"You’re the one I love"
The summer breeze tells the trees
I’m the one, because
You’re my sweet girl...

Stood Up

Friday, June 18th, 2010

I stood up for the first time
When I was just eleven months old
And ever since that day, my mama said
I never done what I was told

I never stood for nothing too much
All through my schooling years
But I stood as much as I could stand
I guess that’s why I’m still standing here
Yes, and

CHORUS:
I...

Angel

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

It is a hurtin’ thing you don’t wanna talk about it
Pain in your heart well it’s takin’ your breath away
You left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talkin’ about it
Love like this just don’t come along every day

CHORUS:
Somebody just stop calling you angel
Somebody just let love get up and go...
