Good Times Come For You
03:59
|

Your sittin on the couch, like a bump on a log
Watchin reruns of that old boss hog
But what you gonna do
When the good times come for you
Now you're working two jobs just to pay the bills
But you got no time left for your own cheap thrills
So what you gonna do
When the good times come for you
Are you gonna sit on the wall or are you gonna dance
Are you gonna play it safe or are you gonna take a chance
Ya what you gonna do
When the good times come for you
You thought you had a good plan but now your locked up in the pen
You aint gonna see that sunshine for another five to ten
So what you gonna do
When the good times come for you
So you having some hard times ya you got the blues
Your down on your luck man You got nothin to lose
So what you gonna do
When the good times come for you
Are you gonna sit on the wall or are you gonna dance
Are you gonna play it safe or are you gonna take a chance
Ya what you gonna do
When the good times come for you
You gotta be ready to rock gotta be ready to roll
Cause there ain't no telling when the good Lord come for your soul
So what you gonna do
When the good times come for you

Wrong Things Right
04:10
|

Well here I go over the hill
The first 50's been quite a thrill
There ain't no telling what's in store
I'd be happy with 30 more
I've got a few tricks up my sleeve
Some things I've done, I still don't believe
Learned what I could along the way
Was it all good...It's hard to say
There were times my light, didn't shine too bright
My alibi, not always tight
Looking back in hindsight
I've done a lot of wrong things right
I've done a lot of wrong things right
How I made it, thru those early years
Remains a mystery, to my piers
I saw the world thru bloodshot eyes
When I was low, I got high
I've taken some curves a bit too fast
Ran some reds but that's in the past
Life's hard lessons sank in a little slow
But that's all behind me and ya I know
There were times that my light
Didn't shine too bright
My alibi, not always tight
Looking back in hindsight
I've done a lot of wrong things right
I've done a lot of wrong things right

Don't Judge A Book
03:38
|

Walking through the lanes at the used car lot
I spied a sweet ride with a couple rust spots
The chips in the paint may not look too good
Wait till you see what’s under the hood
The tale of this car is very close to mine
Might be a little rusty but clean me up, I shine
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover
Dig A Little Deeper, and you might discover
That you are surprised by what you uncover
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover
Hanging on the wall down at Lou’s Pawn Shop
There’s an old Gibson with a busted up top
It might have been to a couple jam nights
Or travelled the world under stadium lights
Was it strapped to a famous singer
Or did it belong to some six string slinger
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover
Dig A Little Deeper, and you might discover
That you are surprised by what you uncover
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover
I saw a man on the corner of the street
A little whisky in the bottle, no shoes on his feet
He said, “hey man”, and at the very same time
He rattled his can for a nickel or a dime
It’s sad to say it’s become a cliche
He went off to war and came back this way
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover
Dig A Little Deeper, and you might discover
That you are surprised by what you uncover
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover
There may come a day when you’re clearing out my stuff
That old stack of records might look pretty rough
They’re all a little dusty and the corners unglued
But before you toss em out, stick a needle in the groove
There’s magic and memories that’ll take you back
So sit a while, with that stack of wax
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover
Dig A Little Deeper, and you might discover
That you are surprised by what you uncover
Don’t judge a book by looking at the cover

Mighty Greyhound
04:10
|
|||
A young man restless & wild at heart
Bought a ticket to a brand new start
He grew up fast in a slow, small town
Climbed the walls until he knocked em down
He left behind all the things he knew
To chase his dreams and find something new
Not quit sure what he's looking for
He jumped on board through the open door
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Straight through the heart of a northern town
From the first light of morn, till the sun goes down.
Roll on, roll on mighty Greyhound
He can't make a living on his native soil
So a man heads west in search of oil
Not the life that he would choose
But knows he ain't got nothing to lose
He sat down next to a mother with two
Babies crying, that's just what they do
She's leaving home on a midnight run
Tired of the one who fathered her son
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Straight through the heart of a northern town
From the first light of morn, till the sun goes down.
Roll on, roll on mighty Greyhound
Now the Greyhound line has gone to the dogs
There's one less way to get out of Dodge
It's the end of an era and the next generation
Won't know the feeling of leaving the station
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Straight through the heart of a northern town
From the first light of morn, till the sun goes down
Roll on, roll on mighty Greyhound

Love Never Dies
03:44
|
|||
Something's sneaking thru the alley
Into our hearts and minds
Stealing all that's dear to us
Hell, it even took John Prine
How could we have been so blind
Not to see the clues
Here we stand on shaky ground
One foot in the blues
When the world stops turning we need to shine.
People helping people out on the front line.
An old man lonely, a young baby cries
The chips might be down but love never dies.
Now is our chance to look at life
From a different point of view
Change the things that we've done wrong
It starts with me and you
When the world stops turning we need to shine.
People helping people out on the front line.
An old man lonely, a young baby cries
The chips might be down but love never dies.
I hear that love conquers all
Let's put it to the test.
How and when this thing might end
Is anybody's guess.
When the world stops turning we need to shine.
People helping people out on the front line.
An old man lonely, a young baby cries
The chips might be down but love never dies.
Love Never Dies....

These Lines On My Face
03:35
|
|||
I've been around a time or two,
Some days are golden some days are blue
When the sun comes up enjoy the view,
When things get tough, push on through
In my time, through all these years,
I've shared some laughter & shed some tears
Roamed around like the pioneers,
Collecting lines like souvenirs
These lines on my face
Lead to a time and place
Where my footprints have left a trace
The story's hidden in these lines upon my face
Some people try to hide their age
Looking younger is all the rage
But in my life and at this stage
I can't wait to write another page
These lines on my face
Lead to a time and place
Where my footprints have left a trace
The story's hidden in these lines upon my face
Looking back in the rear view mirror
Things appear a whole lot clearer
But the road ahead is full of bends
I don't know where my story ends
These lines on my face
Lead to a time and place
Where my footprints have left a trace
The story's hidden in these lines upon my face
These lines on my face
Lead to a time and place
Where my footprints have left a trace
The story's hidden in these lines upon my face
The Story’s hidden in these lines upon my face
The Story’s hidden in these lines upon my face

I'll Bring The Boogie
03:34
|
|||
It's Friday night at the Jump N Jive
The joints been hopin' since half past five
The music's hot, they're playing it live
So get yourself down to the South side
The work week's over, you paid your dues
It's time to lace up those dancin' shoes
Don't need no reefer, don't need no booze
Just get a shot of Rhythm & Blues
Here a boogie, there a woogie
Everywhere a boogie woogie
I'll bring the boogie, you bring the woogie
And we'll have ourselves a ball
When you're at home with ants in your pants
The only cure is to dance dance dance
Step out of your head, come take a chance
You might get lucky and find romance
Here a boogie, there a boogie
Everywhere a boogie woogie
I'll bring the boogie, you bring the woogie
And we'll have ourselves a ball
The clock keeps spinning day after day
Life is short I heard an old man say
Hold on tight don't let it slip away
Leave the past behind, live for today
The work week's over, you paid your dues
It's time to lace up those dancin' shoes
Don't need no reefer, don't need no booze
Just get a shot of Rhythm & Blues
Here a boogie, there a boogie
Everywhere a boogie woogie
I'll bring the boogie, you bring the woogie
And we'll have ourselves a ball
