GLAD I CAME IN LAST
Verse 1
Bet you stole some boy’s heart
Underneath a million stars
When you were young and you fell real hard
Did he hold you close and dance
Did he meet your daddy on your first date
When he broke your heart you had to find a way
To get over him and all the pain
Now its buried in the past
Girl it doesn’t matter anyway
I couldn't love you back then like I do today
Chorus
No, I wasn’t the first to love you
Be the one to think of you
I didn’t give you that first kiss
Yeah that was someone else
I wasn't the first to find you
Be the one to make love blind you
Every heartbeat we both missed
Are just stories that we tell
From now till forever ain’t so bad
I’m so glad I came in last
Verse 2
In these arms you’ll never be alone
Its your hand I’ll always hold
When our last breath is gone
We’ll still be together
Then we’ll count the stars one by one
When we’ve reached the end we’ve only just begun
I’ll never be your one and done
You’ll never have to wonder
If there’s more to this life
Girl you know you know
There will always be you and I
Chorus
No, I wasn’t the first to love you
Be the one to think of you
I didn’t give you that first kiss
Yeah that was someone else
I wasn't the first to find you
Be the one to make love blind you
Every heartbeat we both missed
Are just stories that we tell
From now till forever ain’t so bad
I’m so glad I came in last

SMALL TOWN LOVE
SMALL TOWN LOVE
VERSE 1

IN A TRUCK IS SEXY

SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING
Holding on to something
When we got next to nothing
We’re driving down these dirt roads
talking about forever
It’s the dust and the dreams
That keep us together
I’m right here with you
Holding on to something
We got next to nothing
Oh won’t it be something
Cause I’m not running
When we build something
Out of nothing
I’m right here with you
Cause I’m not running
We’ll build something
Out of nothing
Grandpa got married
on love
And a $100 bill
A life makin’ memories makin’ babies
They’re holding hands still
Kisses her every morning
Together they’re really something
I’m right here with you
Holding on to something
When we got next to nothing
Oh won’t it be something
Cause I’m not running
When we build something
out of nothing
I’m right here with you
Cause I’m not running
We’ll build something
Out of nothing

FADE --- END ---

SLEEPING WITH THE QUEEN
Verse
I'm drinking tequila the whiskey's all gone
rain against my window it's the only sound
It's 6:AM ..no call your not around
you think your on top your losing it all
your willing to run maybe your the one ,
Are you oh are you a country king?
under the neon when the sun goes down
getting your gold in a music town
Chorus
A king without a queen
another homeless lonely fool
no one ever taught you
this town's full of pawns and broken dreams
oh ....it might be good to be a king
But Your not Sleeping with the Queen
Bridge
are you a country king?
waiting for them to hear you sing
they want to hand you a star
they just don't know who you are
Verse
Pouring me another glass
searching for another song
i keep saying I love you
why do I ? I'm alone
I keep saying you don't mean it
But oh I know you do
oh this town is just too damn bright
for me to love you
.Chorus
A king without a queen
another homeless lonely fool
no one ever taught you
this town's full of pawns and broken dreams
oh it might be good to be a king
But Your not Sleeping with the Queen
fade out
this town's full of pawns and broken dreams
it might be good to be a king
But Your not Sleeping with the Queen

RUST IN THE RAIN
Tractor hasn't ran for years it's like an old ghost
All alone in the field like a rusted forgotten king
Those crops are gone so are the dreams
And the wire in the wind is all that you hear
Pre Chorus
When you run out of time
Oh life is not something you live again
CHORUS
Diamonds, dirt, and memories
Who you love,
Where your from..
What you leave
Nobody's road is quite the same
Some love and some pain... then
All that's left is rust in the rain
Verse
She stood in that old broken window
With a baby crying on her hip listening to the radio
while she dreamed
Not of diamonds or money just more time with him
Wanting one more loving morning before the harvest begins
Pre Chorus
When you run out of time life isn't something you live again
CHORUS
Diamonds, dirt, and memories
Who you love,
Where your from..
What you leave
Nobody's road is quite the same
Some love and some pain... then
All that's left is rust in the rain
Bridge-
It's love that keeps you together
Or pain that drives you away
It doesn't matter time wins either way
CHORUS
Diamonds, dirt, and memories
Who you love,
Where your from..
What you leave
Nobody's road is quite the same
Some love and some pain... then
All that's left is rust in the rain
Oh rust in the rain all that's left is ...rust in the rain --- END ---

SHOULDA TAKEN HIM FISHIN'
Every morning I wake up
put on a brand new day
Kiss my boy and grab my coat
And drive these eighteen wheels away
With the words I miss you daddy
That echo in my mind
And I think of all the years I left behind
But it’s too late to turn this truck around
Tell the boss I ain’t leaving town
Go home and grab a fishing pole or two
Me and my boy an that old bench seat
I wonder what he’ll think of me
Will he forgive the man this road turn me into
I don’t want to spend my whole life wishing
I shoulda’ taken him fishing
Well I pulled off the ramp I needed to stop
Cause He was tugging at my heart
I opened up his home made lunch
That’s when I found the card
There were two stick men and a dinosaur
Drawn in crayola blue
And the words I miss the most
Dad I love you
Is it too late to turn this truck around
Tell the boss I ain’t leaving town
Go home and grab a fishing pole or two
Just me and my boy an that old bench seat
I wonder what he’ll think of me
Will he forgive the man this road turn me into
Don’t want to spend my whole life wishing
I shoulda’ taken him fishing
Gonna put a large mouth on the wall
Before the years fly by
Everytime he sees it hanging there
He’ll always remember the time
I turned that big ole truck around
Told the boss I ain’t leaving town
Went home and grabbed a fishing pole or two
I wonder what he thinks of me
As we’re sitting on the bank of that creek
Don’t want to be the man this road turn me into
Not gonna spend my whole life wishing
Now I realize all that I been missing
Cause I took him fishing
I hope he takes his own boy fishin --- END ---

BUMP
Verse
Nobody on the dance floor
songs I haven’t heard before
Its kind of killing the mood
It was a Monday vibe
On a saturday night
But then she walked in the room
Electric eyes
Like neon lights
And a body from a magazine
DJ found his groove
She started to move
It was something like Id never seen
Chorus
She love them things that go bump, bump baby
Bump, bump baby
She lets the music do its thing
I wanna go bump with you baby
Bump bump baby
And slide, yeah Slide that body next to me
Verse
She likes her glitter to shine
Let the music fill her mind
With her mysterious ways
She dont want to talk
And if you do she’ll walk
And just turn you away
Shes into feeling that beat
Underneath her feet
Then that body moves to rhythm and blues
So if you like to dance
You might have a chance
To go bump bump, bump bump too
Chorus
She love them things that go bump, bump baby
Bump, bump baby
She lets the music do its thing
I wanna go bump with you baby
Bump bump baby
And slide, yeah slide that body next to me
Bridge
She might be mysterious
She might like to take it slow
Does she move when the lights are off
Like she does on the floor
Chorus
She love them things that go bump, bump baby
Bump, bump baby
She lets the music do its thing
I wanna go bump with you baby
Bump bump baby
And slide, yeah slide that body next to me

NO PLACE LIKE TEXAS
VERSE
Texas sun shining on the Rio Grande
Still a place a man can proudly stand
With the wind blowing down the Old Spanish Highway
Music’s drifts out of bar room door
Texas Swing on the dance floor
Sunday morning we'll all be saved
Cold beer pretty women and rodeos
When cowboys die is this were they go
PRE-CHORUS
Oh The fact is
No place like Texas
CHORUS
Texas skies are full of stars
Texas girls will steal your heart
Holding her to the sound of a steel guitar
Texas men look you in the eye
Proud to honor the flag that flies
Better friends you know you'll never find
Yeah I'm always in a Lone Star State of Mind
Oh The fact is
No place like Texas
VERSE
Amarillo Friday night home games
Days in Galveston listening to the waves
Front porch rocking chairs where you pray for rain
Waco dust kicking' up from a cattle drive
Real cowboys singing western style
Some places you don't want to ever change
Lay me down where the Pecos River flows
I'll be in God's Country I'll be home
PRECHORUS
Oh the fact is
No place like Texas
CHORUS
Texas skies are full of stars
Texas girls will steal your heart
Holding her to the sound of a steel guitar
Texas men look you in the eye
Proud to honor the flag that flies
Better friends you know you'll never find
Yeah I'm always in a Lone Star State of Mind
Oh the fact is
There's no place like Texas

ICE TO FIRE
Verse 1
The sun had gone down
on this lonely town
Another night
I was driving around
I needed a ride
just a favor for a friend
We had no idea
what was about to begin
Chorus
You didn’t care
and I didn’t mind
We both were looking
to kill some time
Your heart was over
what I’d already been through
Now it was only
me and you
We couldn’t pretend
It was just desire
we turned ice to fire
Verse2
Only a radio
with a blanket
In the back
You were blind
To what I didn’t have
We didn’t have to pay
to set our souls free
I didn't let go of you
Held you so close to me
Chorus - same as before
You didn’t care
and I didn’t mind
We both were looking
to kill some time
Your heart was over
what I’d already been through
Now it was only
me and you
We couldn’t pretend
it was just desire
we turned ice to fire
Bridge
Found only the truth looking in your eyes
There was nowhere for me to hide
Chorus - same as before
You didn’t care
I didn’t mind
We both were looking
to kill some time
Your heart was over
what I’d already been through
Now it was only
me and you
We couldn’t pretend
it was just desire
we turned ice to fire

LEFT ON BROADWAY
Years since I opened that door not much has changed than before
Still songs covered in dust and time left on guitars playing heartaches and lies
Seems like yesterday that's so far away one of them was mine
Drinking in honky-tonks or to pay the rent
Doesn’t matter how the money was spent
Ticket back home or to help a friend
For so many dreams this shop was the end
Only in the dark do you get to hear them play
The ghosts of all their Opry dreams echo on those strings
All the songs that never found a way
They were left they were left on Broadway ....left on Broadway
In between a 1000 no’s those songs played a million shows
Years of lost forgotten words some of the best in town were never heard
Only in the dark do you get to hear them play
The ghosts of all their Opry dreams echo on those strings
All the songs that never found a way
They were left they were left on Broadway ....left on Broadway
Years of lost forgotten words
Some of the best in town were never heard
On Broadway. Down on Broadway

MAMA HELD THE GLASS
VERSE 1
Years he spent working
To support our family
Yet Time had only left him
With his Broken dreams
He always said that nothing
In this world is free
Then with shaking hands
He poured the whiskey
And Daddy prayed
CHORUS
So The good lord sent an angel
To keep the devil in his place
And stop a hundred proof tornado
Swelled up with rage
Jesus knew that mama
Could uphold her mighty task
So when Daddy poured the whiskey
Mama held the glass
VERSE 2 -
With every year
every angry word
Mama Took the brunt
And Dusted off the hurt
She said don't be afraid
a 1000 times to me
Daddy's glass in her hand
She poured out his whiskey
and daddy prayed
CHORUS
So The good lord sent an angel
To keep the devil in his place
And stop a hundred proof tornado
Swelled up with rage
Jesus knew that mama
Could uphold her mighty task
So when Daddy poured the whiskey
Mama held the glass
BRIDGE--
Heaven needed an angel
10 yrs ago today
Now His sober tears are falling on her grave
and we all prayed
CHORUS --
Lord Thank you for Mama
She put the devil in his place
And stopped a hundred proof tornado
That swelled up with rage
With all her strength from heaven
She finished up her mighty task
When Daddy poured out the last drop of whiskey
An angel held the glass
When Daddy poured out the last drop of whiskey
An angel held the glass --- END ---

THIS OLE WORLD IS FULL OF BAD THINGS
THE DEVIL WOULD HAVE ME DO
HE TRIED HIS BEST LORD
TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM YOU
YOU PICKED MY MAMA FOR ME LORD
SHE LOVES ME WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT
WITHOUT HER LORD
I NEVER WOULDA
SAW THE LIGHT
I NEVER WOULDA
SAW THE LIGHT
NO MORE WALKING IN THE DARKNESS
THE DEVIL DIDN’T WIN THE FIGHT
ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE
WITHOUT MAMA AND JESUS
I NEVER WOULDA SAW THE LIGHT

RIDE WITH ME
I’m always on the highway
somewhere miles from home
Living a little out of control
With the Devil at the wheel
trying to steer my soul
He’s crossing lines
Going 90
To places I don’t want to go
Lord shine your love on me
You shed your blood
for me
Cause you know
the devil
Wants to ride for free
Oh Lord be with me
shine your love on me
Cause the devil
Wants to ride for free
Don’t let him ride with me
I’m always on this phone
Nowhere to go so alone
Living a little out of control
Lord you know all my mistakes
Devil’s hand is out ready to take
Lord I’m not hiding anything
It’s your love I need
Lord shine your love on me
You shed your blood
for me
Cause you know
the devil
Wants to ride for free
Oh Lord be with me
shine your love on me
Cause the devil
Wants to ride for free
don’t let him ride with me

Stay away
Devil stay away
Lord shine your love on me
You shed your blood

SHOOT MY TRUCK
Shoot My Truck
Robert Abernathy/Tom White
Verse 1
Out on this long endless highway
I'm forcing each turn to find something brand new
Though its over, went down separate roads
This truck-she keeps fighting to come home to you
It been months since I parked in that driveway
The passenger seat smells like your old perfume
Your fingerprints on a dusty radio
Seem to play nothing but sad country tunes
OH I know its gonna hurt a little
So I guess that it’s best that I put her down soon
Chorus
Shoot my truck
Fill it up With a bullet
for every memory
This truck cant give up
Shoot my truck
Ain't asking much
To put her out of her misery
This GPS Stuck
On finding you again
Its been tough
So shoot my truck
Verse 2
There’s a sickness when she's put in drive
It only takes turns when I'm on Highway 5
That leads straight to your door-Every day
This damn truck is losing its mind
It hurts to watch her fall apart every time
She falls to pieces when I climb inside
Chorus
Shoot my truck
Fill it up With a bullet
for every memory
This truck cant give up
Shoot my truck
Ain't asking much
To put her out of her misery
This GPS Stuck
On finding you again
Its been tough
So shoot my truck
Bridge
Maybe this truck aint the fool
Its the man behind the wheel coming back to you
Chorus
Shoot my truck
Fill it up With a bullet
for every memory
I cant give up
Shoot my truck
Ain't asking much
To put me out of this misery
This GPS Stuck
On finding you again
Its been tough
So shoot my truck

THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN
Some things I’ll never forget like my daughter’s first date
or seeing my boy play …..watching him slide into home pate
and waking up to her sweet smile asking me to stay awhile
After all these years together I still don't mind being late
For her love the rest of the world can wait
Lord
I’m so grateful for all the blessings I've been given
Your with me in my heart every step of the way
Lord you're my savior through you my sins are forgiven
All the glory is yours
Right here on this side of heaven
Won’t forget all the stories my grandpa told me
All the hours listening to him never got old
and talking to mama sipping ice tea so happy she’s still here with me
Laughing at memories on that old front porch swing
It's like I’m just a kid again
Lord
I’m so grateful for all the blessings I've been given
Your with me in my heart every step of the way
Lord you're my savior through you my sins are forgiven
All the glory is yours
Right here on this side of heaven ....this side of heaven
BRIDGE
My wife says she can't believe I'm still driving daddy's old truck
she don't understand I don’t care what it looks like even rusted and beat up
Lord
I’m so grateful for all the blessings I've been given
Your with me in my heart every step of the way
Lord you're my savior through you my sins are forgiven
All the glory is yours
Right here on this side of heaven

take it to church!

VINYL

In the front yard that old dog is laying in the gravel where you use to park
Another night pouring whiskey cause the pain is gonna start
Oh I’ll dust them off so it won’t seem final …
…then I listen to that vinyl

Empty house seems so loud when it’s your heart break they’re singing about

Chorus
Listen to

Hoping the needle skips the part when you leave

Here in the dark where you left me

THE DISTANCE
We both drank whiskey she laid on her back and I carried a gun
We started out in New Orleans riding the trains from pain
She came from a field in Dixie one that had burnt to the ground
It wasn't she didn't know her past it was a fever that never broke
We rode and lived in the boxes no silence was deafening
Riding the rails racing hearts beating raunchley
Some boxes left with blood on our hands with a hunger to live
So many forgotten faces asking for mercy spilled on the tracks
CHORUS
I'm not sure of the distance the miles and years of life
I'm sure of the pain that is on you till you die
I'm not sure of the distance when you look in lost eyes
I'm sure of the weight you carry till you die
Sweetly I kissed her I tasted the passion
it didn't quench my soul
We both knew our worlds were shackled
like the broken wing of a crow
We went up to Memphis jumping two tracks
Strangers wanting what we didn't have
In a room from the money when she laid on her back
All the pain left from the needle she did all we had
When I awoke she had left me but her body was still there
I guess when she left me she loved me the only one who cared
My drunk mother had left me in a alley cold and alone
Just a crying baby so cold and alone
Outside our room flowed the Mississippi deep and wide
Wrapped in stained sheets and dreams I didn't hear her when she had to leave
To a God that had surly forgotten her a long time ago
Down that deep wide river without me she floated home
Chorus
I don't know the distance of sorrow
I don't know the distance between dreams
I don't know the distance of the burdens
I don't know the distance do we find each other there --- END ---

DRINKING WHISKEY TASTING WINE
Verse 1
I’m a truck on a dirt road,
You're a top down in the wind.
I’m a song on the radio,
You're out dancing with your friends.
I’m an early riser,
You're sleeping in late.
I’m divorced with 2 kids,
Youre uptown on a date.
Pre-Chorus
High school sweethearts that didn’t know
How the years would unwind?
Chorus
Place that we met hasn’t been torn down
Still the same faces in this town.
Some things don’t change down the line…..
I'm just working man's whiskey,
And you're a beautiful bottle of wine.
Verse 2
I'm Friday night football,
You’re drinking by the pool.
I'm a swing on the front porch,
You’re all diamonds and jewels.
I’m torn shirts and denim,
You're designer names.
I’m worn out and busted,
You’re still a burning flame.
Pre-Chorus
High school sweethearts that didn’t know
How the years would unwind?
Chorus
Place that we met hasn’t been torn down
Still the same faces in this town.
Some things don’t change down the line…..
I'm just working man's whiskey,
And you're a beautiful bottle of wine.
Bridge
Saw you today with that sweet smile,
and it had been awhile
but your memory's getting sweeter with time
Chorus
Place that we met hasn’t been torn down
Still the same faces in this town.
Wish I could go back to a different time
When I wasn’t drinking whiskey
I was tasting wine
Outtro
Some things don’t change down the line.
I'm drinking whiskey,
Wishing I was tasting wine
You’re a beautiful bottle of wine. --- END ---

KISS ME AGAIN / FEMALE DEMO
Watching the wind move the curtains
With my head on my pillow
Miss you so much my heart never wanted to let you
I wanna hold you tonight like the sky hold the stars
Right now I need to love you baby but your so far
Oh I wanna feel your kiss and love you for the rest of my life
I never wanted anything more than I want you baby tonight
I know tomorrow I’ll still want you the loneliness won’t end
Only for now I’ll just close my eyes I wanna feel you kiss me again
All I do is dream of the future where you never leave
We build a family together that’s what I see
Our love is here and I always want to believe
That you and I are all that we’re ever need
Oh I wanna feel your kiss and love you for the rest of my life
I never wanted anything more than I want you baby tonight
I know tomorrow I’ll still want you the loneliness won’t end
Only for now I’ll just close my eyes I wanna feel you kiss me again
Oh I wanna feel your kiss and love you for the rest of my life
I never wanted anything more than I want you baby tonight
I know tomorrow I’ll still want you the loneliness won’t end
Only for now I’ll just close my eyes I wanna feel you kiss me again --- END ---

THE BEACH DON'T EVER CLOSE
Girl it's almost last call you look like your bored with it all
You look like maybe you wanna make some new friends
Oh and I know a place fun where we can go
Cause when the bar’s lights go out in this town
The beach don’t ever close
Nobody’s turning that moon off
Shutting that sand down
No last call last round
Gotta go closing time
No girl you can put your hand in mine
Let’s see how far this goes
The beach don’t ever close
We’ll drop the top down
And watch the sun come up
Listen to some music
With a little something in our cup
Oh we can let the night flow
The beach don’t ever close
Nobody’s turning that moon off
Shutting that sand down
No last call last round
Gotta go closing time
No girl you can put your hand in mine
Let’s see how far this goes
The beach don’t ever close
Oh Girl it can be a great night you’ll see
Nobody’s turning that moon off
Shutting that sand down
No last call last round
Gotta go closing time
No girl you can put your hand in mine
Let’s see how far this goes
The beach don’t ever close
Oh the beach don’t ever close
Let’s see how far this goes
Oh the beach don’t ever close --- END ---
