THIS FEELS GOOD
"This Feels Good"
My friends all said the band was great
I don’t recall a single note they played
I was so caught up in your smile
I haven’t felt this way in a long long while
Man, this feels good
CHORUS
Like driving down the road catching all the green lights
Or rocking on the porch on a beautiful night
Like jumping in the lake on a hot summer day
Or going to the park for a baseball game
Like sitting on the beach with a drink in hand
And running your toes through the sand
Every thing’s going just like it should
Man, this feels good
We ended up talking all night
Had our first kiss by your back porch light
Didn’t want that moment to end
But I know something great’s about to begin
Man this feels good
CHORUS
Like driving down the road catching all the green lights
Or rocking on the porch on a beautiful night
Like jumping in the lake on a hot summer day
Or going to the park for a baseball game
Like sitting on the beach with a drink in hand
And running your toes through the sand
Every thing’s going just like it should
Man, this feels good
I want this feeling to go on forever, just keeps getting better and better
CHORUS
Like driving down the road catching all the green lights
Or rocking on the porch on a beautiful night
Like jumping in the lake on a hot summer day
Or going to the park for a baseball game
Like finding money on the side of the road
Your favorite song on the radio
Every thing’s going just like it should
Man, this feels good

THIS OLD T-SHIRT
This Old T-Shirt
It’s a little ripped around the sleeves,
Faded from summers down at the beach
Bought it at a George Strait show in the stadium parking lot
Good times soaked in every stitch
Older it gets the better it fits
When you wore it to bed I’d wanna take it off
Chorus
If This Old T-Shirt Could Talk...
It’d tell you ‘bout the night we met,
How pretty you looked in your summer dress
4th of July Fireworks in your eyes
It’d tell you ‘bout every single date
How we finally kissed by your front gate
Underneath that full moon southern sky
It would remind us of all the memories we’ve got
If This Ol’ T Shirt Could Talk
Now I only wear it once in a while,
But puttin’ it on still makes me smile
Late night bonfire parties come flashing back
You’ve been telling me its got to go
Seen better days, its full of holes
But I can’t just throw away part of our past
Chorus
If This Old T-Shirt Could Talk...
It’d tell you ‘bout the night we met,
How pretty you looked in your summer dress
4th of July Fireworks in your eyes
It’d tell you ‘bout every single date
Like skinny dippin in that mountain Lake
Underneath that full moon southern sky
It would remind us of all the memories we’ve got
If This Ol’ T Shirt Could Talk
I love every moment we’ve had together
It takes me back, to everything I treasure
Chorus
If This Old T-Shirt Could Talk...
It’d tell you ‘bout the night we met,
How pretty you looked in your summer dress
4th of July Fireworks in your eyes
It’d tell you ‘bout every single date
When I hid that ring in your birthday cake...
Tears of joy welling up in your eyes
It would remind us of all the memories we’ve got
If This Ol’ T Shirt Could Talk

LOSE MYSELF
Lose Myself
© Parker/Townley/Miller
I was cowboy tough
Fast and furious
A little bit myth
whole lot of trail dust
Hell bent and head strong
Good at gettin’ gone
til your beautiful came along
Now I feel settled into my skin,
Long gone from how I was living
Fine with droppin’ my defenses
You’re the steady to my reckless
The pick me up for all of life’s problems
One kiss I forget I got em
The shelter I love running to
That’s what I find …
when I lose myself in you
I thought love
Would feel like being stuck
Told myself
I’d have to give up too much
But here I am
Holding your hand
Still not the best but a better man
CHORUS
In the hurricane, you’re the harbor lights
The front porch swing to this gypsy life
CHORUS

A LITTLE FAITH
“A Little Faith”
The doctors told him it won’t be easy
You’ll have to quit your job to tend to your needs
Not sure how he’ll pay the bills or feed three kids
His wife says it’ll be hard but we’ll make it through this
They’re both scared and filled with doubts
But they know it’ll all work out
CHORUS
‘Cause they know what a little faith can do
It can make miracles break through
It can part seas and move mountains
It can turn one into thousands
It can unlock doors
That were sealed shut before
Don’t be surprised when all you ask for comes true
It’s amazing just how much a little faith can do
Their whole town threw a fund raising event
Food, bands and prizes everyone went
Raised the money to help them through and then some more
They’re gonna give the rest to help find a cure
CHORUS
‘Cause they know what a little faith can do
It can make miracles break through
It can part seas and move mountains
It can turn one into thousands
It can unlock doors
That were sealed shut before
Don’t be surprised when all you ask for comes true
It’s amazing just how much a little faith can do
There’s a Doctor in a lab funded by charity
He thinks he may have found a cure for that disease
CHORUS
That’s what a little faith can do
It can make miracles break through
It can part seas and move mountains
It can turn one into thousands
It can unlock doors
That were sealed shut before
Don’t be surprised when all you ask for comes true
It’s amazing just how much a little faith can do

TOUGH TIMES
“Tough Times”
He got laid off from work today,
Seems pounding nails don’t pay
Got in his truck and headed for home
Bank note on the door last week,
Not sure how to make ends meet,
Might have to take two jobs to pay that loan
He hugged his kids then told his wife the news
She said “don’t worry, we’ll make it through…
CHORUS
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
Time will pass, and you'll push on through
Stand your ground, Hunker down
might be another rough patch or two
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
Never seen such a hard rain,
Didn’t stop for five straight days
Washed away memories, lifetimes and homes
It brought a lot of people to their knees
But they’re already, back on their feet
CHORUS
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
Time will pass, and you'll push on through
Stand your ground, Hunker down
might be another rough patch or two
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
The Test came back they found a spot
She decided, she’s gonna fight it, with everything she’s got
CHORUS
Tough times don't last, Tough people do
Time will pass, and you'll push on through
Stand your ground, Hunker down
might be another rough patch or two
You might feel like you're stuck, out of luck
But there's one thing that's true
Tough times don't last, Tough people do

BLIND SPOT
He'd be there when some guy'd let her down
Made her laugh, got her feet on the ground
He'd always been such a good friend
Then something unexpected happened
He couldn't hide his love anymore
Made his move by her front door
She still remembers that kiss
It was when she finally noticed
Love was in her blind spot
It was right there beside her whether she knew it or not
For true love she looked everywhere
She didn't realize it was so near
The love she'd always sought
Was in her blind spot
They got married it's been fifty years
Mostly good times but not without tears
Had some rough spells barely got through
Sometimes love would fade out of view
But whenever they needed repair
Their love would be right there
When they were down and out
They didn't have to doubt
Love was in their blind spot
It was right there beside them whether they knew it or not
When it seemed love was nowhere near
That's when it would always appear
The love they'd always sought
Was in their blind spot
When they look back now on their lives
They realize love had never left their side
Love was in their blind spot
It was right there beside them whether they knew it or not
True love stayed with them through the years
Now they see it so clear
The love they'd always sought
Was in their blind spot

WHY NOT!
Why Not!
Your smile almost knocked me down
My jaw just ‘bout hit the ground
I strained my neck as you walked by
Knew I’d never see that smile again
If I didn’t take a chance right then
I worked up the nerve to go say hi
Why not, why wait?
Maybe this could be fate
Who knows it might
Be the moment that changes our lives
Might as well give it a shot
Why not
I turned when you asked my name
Thought I might just walk away
But something in your eyes changed my mind
So I pulled out a bright red pen
Wrote my number on the palm of your hand
With a smile I said call me some time
Why not, why wait?
Maybe this could be fate
Who knows it might
Be the moment that changes our lives
Might as well give it a shot
Why not
Never know where this might lead
Could be better than we ever dreamed
Why not, why wait?
Maybe this could be fate
Who knows it might
Be a moment that lasts a life
Might as well give it a shot
Might be better than we ever thought
Why not
Why not
