Chasing The Wrong Faces 04:43
lyrics
buy track
It's so hard sometimes Trying to drink you off my mind So I went to the bar Tried to kill my lonely heart When the day is through I look for you in the same honky tonk And I'll drink until the cows come home And I'll sleep through the break of dawn And I'll weep shen I wake up to find I'm still all alone And I'll drink until the cows come home And I'll sleep through the early morn And I think I was chasing the wrong faces Drivin my red pick up truck Through the small town I grew up Drinkin my mind off you I stop in at old mama q's headed on down to the riverside There's Sarah Rafter skippin' rocks in cut-off jeans A girl my mama wouldn't approve But she's so damn hot She's all I got And I'll drink until the cows come home And I'll sleep through the break of dawn and I'll weep when I wake up to find I'm still all alone And I'll drinkuntil the cows come home And I'll sleep through the early morn And I know I was chasing the wrong faces I went to the store with my head hangin' low Ham and cheese sandwich on my mind In the produce isle, is where I saw her smile and wink back at me with those moonshine eyes But I'm day old bread Gettin' tossed out with the trash Then she walked up to me And we'll drink until the cows come home And we'll sleep, until the break of dawn And I'll smile, when I wake up to find she's still in my arms And we'll drink until the cows come home And we'll sleep, until the early morn And I know I was chasing the wrong faces And I know I was chasing the wrong faces

Jewish Boy 03:38
lyrics

I may look like a city slicker, Shinin' up through his shoes. Underneath I'm just a cotton picker, Pickin' out a mess of blues Show me where I start. Find a horse and cart. I'm just a jewish boy, Jewish boy at heart. I may look like a bank teller, Pushing facts in a file. But I'd rather be a haul collar, Shooing foot home in style. Show me where I start. Find a horse and cart. I'm just a jewish boy, Jewish boy at heart. I may look like a city slicker, Shinin' up through his shoes. Underneath I'm just a cotton picker, Pickin' out a mess of blues. Show me where I start. Find a horse and cart. I'm just a jewish boy, Jewish boy at heart.

Truck Drivin' Man 02:40
lyrics

I stopped at a road house in Texas It was a little place called Hamburger Dan's And I heard that old jukebox a playin' a song about a truck drivin' man Pour me another cup of coffee for it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox and play the Truck Drivin' Man The waitress just brought me some coffee I thanked her but called her again I said that old song sure does fit me cause I'm a truck drivin' man Pour me another cup of coffee for it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox and play the Truck Drivin' Man I climbed back aboard my old semi and then like a flash I was gone I got them old truck wheels a rollin' I'm on my way to San Antone Pour me another cup of coffee for it is the best in the land I'll put a nickel in the jukebox and play the Truck Drivin' Man And play that Truck Drivin' Man

You know you had me riding high Like the stars light up the sky And you would be the one to satisfy Cuz' you're the apple of my eye You know that I'd walk miles for you Even in these old worn shoes So we could be together for a while C'mon baby, don't say maybe You know we could never have come this far Come on back to, me and you, I'll be the one to make you mine Like The wind blows through the trees I can feel you in the breeze Like the waves roll through the sea Your love has set me free You know that I'd walk miles for you Even in these old worn shoes So we could be together for a while C'mon baby, don't say maybe You know we could never have come this far Come on back to, me and you, I'll be the one to make you mine One more night I'll be the one to make you mine Be the one to, make you mine I'll be good, I'll be true, I'll do anything for you C'mon baby, don't say maybe You know we could never have come this far Come on back to me and you, I'll be the one to make you mine x2 One more night I'll be the one to make you mine Be the one to, make you mine

Well you told me you love me You told me a lie And I've been mistreated lord You know I cant deny that Sometimes, you treated me so cruel I can't stand it any longer I ain't gonna play no fool Well I bought you diamonds and rings I gave you everything And all I heard is how I ain't done a damn thing Sometimes you treated me so cruel I can't stand it any longer I ain't gonna play no fool Well you told me I was special I was your sweetie pie But every where we go it's like You've been with every guy Sometimes you treated me so cruel I can't stand it any longer I ain't gonna play no fool

It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife I been a workin' man dang near all my life I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use I'll drink my beer in a tavern, Sing a little bit of these working man blues I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day Might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay But I'll go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew I'll drink a little beer that evening, Sing a little bit of these working man blues Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin around I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town But I go back working I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes Yeah drink a little beer in a tavern, Cry a little bit of these working man blues Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be Cause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use I drink a little beer in a tavern Sing a little bit of these working man blues I drink a little beer in a tavern Sing a little bit of these working man blues

Play With Your Poodle 03:02
lyrics

Now lend an ear folks while I sing this song, Don't get mad, I don't mean no harm! I want to play with your poodle, I want to play with your poodle, I want to play with your poodle, I mean your little poodle dog! Yes, that little poodle got a long shaggy tail, Well I tried to buy him but he wasn't for sale! Can I play with your poodle? Can I play with your poodle? Can I play with your poodle? I mean your little poodle dog! Oh, when I went down to town with my hat in my hand, I was lookin' for a woman, didn't have no man! I want to play with your poodle, I want to play with your poodle, I want to play with your poodle, I mean your little poodle dog! Yes, two old maids that were layin' in a bed, Well, one turned over, this is what she said; "Can I play with your poodle? Can I play with your poodle? Can I play with your poodle? I mean your little poodle dog!". Now Lily ol' woman, what you tryin' to do? Tryin' to lower my brother and lower me too! Wanna play with your poodle, I wanna play with your poodle, I wanna play with your poodle, I mean your little poodle dog!

Together again my tears have stopped falling The long lonely nights are now at an end The key to my heart you hold in your hand And nothing else matters now we're together again Together again the gray skies are gone You're back in my arms now, where you belong The love that I knew is living again And nothing else matters now we're together again And nothing else matters now we're together again
