Climb Higher

I've been low and I've been high
I'm glad some but oh I've cried
Teardrops fell like gentle rain
Washing away the pain

In my dreams and deep despair
I called the Shepherd's name in prayer
Master Shepherd of the sheep
Help me

And He spoke in gentle tongues to me
I'm higher and see
That beyond the mystic land the sun is shinning
Follow me where tears are wiped away

The path that leads to Calvary
Is marked with tears You shed for me
A rugged cross you bore with love
To bring me to my knees

How can I then give less than all
Uphold me Lord lest I fall
Upon the rocky hills so steep

Repeat #3

Follow me where tears are wiped away`

Completely Out Of Love

We could always find tomorrow when a problem came our way
We could reach back in a storehouse full of love
Now we can't find tomorrow or run back to yesterday
'Cause this time we've run completely out of love

This time there's no tomorrow, oh, we've told them all goodbye
We buried them in this hole we both dug
And we can't retrace our footsteps, yesterday has lost it's light
And this time we've run completely out of love

This time we found a mountain neither one of us can cross
And a valley where the sun don't ever shine
And this time we just can't make it, all the love we had is lost
And we've run completely out of love this time

This time we found a mountain neither one of us can cross
And a valley where the sun don't ever shine
Lord, this time we just can't make it, all the love we had is lost
And we've run completely out of love this time
Yes we've run completely out of love this time

Couldn't Love Have P***** A Better Place To Die

Of all the people in the world, why you and I
With lovers here and everywhere we don't care enough to try
Why couldn't all the hurt we're feeling now have passed us by
Couldn't love have p***** a better place to die

And of all the hearts in the world, why yours and mine
How could we go from so much love to so much hurt tonight
But it's in our hearts and it's in our bed and it's even in your eyes
Couldn't love have p***** a better place to die

Somewhere out there there's lovers who want to be free
Why couldn't love have died with them instead of here with you and me
But it's pityful how all these tears won't bring it back to life
Couldn't love have p***** a better place to die

Oh, couldn't love have p***** a better place to die

Cowboys Don't Get Lucky All The Time

He met her in a honky tonk
Singing country songs that he wrote
She sat at a table
Listening to his music and drinking coke
Well, he sat down beside her
Said, honey, what's your name
She said I like your music, sir,
But foolin' 'round is certainally not my game
When the small talk was over
The cowboy drank his beer and took her home
Lust on his mind
In a bedroom he had her all alone
And when the night was over
The cowboy shook his head
'Cause she slept on the sofa
And the cowboy slept alone on his bed
She still sees the cowboy
On the country shows and sometimes on T.V.
He phones her up and talks to her long distance
From wherever he might be
He'll ask her how she's doin'
She'll reply by sayin', oh, just fine
And the moral of this story is
Cowboys don't get lucky all the time
And the moral of this story is
Cowboys don't get lucky all the time

Don't Waste It On The Blues

I know there's nothing worse than a bad goodbye
And you think you'll feel better if you have a good cry
But save those tears for tomorrow when there's nothing
better to do
It's a beautiful night, don't waste it on the blues
Time is all it takes for a broken heart to mend
And sooner or later you know you'll try to love again
So why not start tonight, you've only got the hurtin' to
lose
There's a full moon out, don't waste it on the blues
Don't waste one more minute
Leavin' a bad break, to keep you home in the dark
There's nothin' like a walk in the moonlight
To let love run away with your heart
You could turn on your stereo and play your saddest songs
Sit by your window and stare out all night long
But if you look up you'll see the stars are just too
bright to refuse
It's a beautiful night, don't waste it on the blues
If you look up you'll see the stars are just too bright
to refuse
It's a good night for love, don't waste it on the blues

Don't You Ever Get Tired Of Hurting Me

You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me

You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one in such a long, long while
Still I keep running back why must this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me

You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one in such a long, long while
Still I keep running back why must this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurting me

Don't you ever get tired of hurting me

Dreams Of A Dreamer

Lost my p***** in a card game in New Orleans
Lost my girl to a stranger in L.A.
Left my dreams in a motel in Atlanta
And I guess I lost my mind along the way
Can't you see I'm dyin' on my feet
Walkin' to my grave, too gone to weep
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
There just dreams of a dreamer gone blind
The bright lights have gone away for the good times
This old yearning in my soul chills my brain
The ashes of my years have been scattered
By the laughter, wine and life of yesterday
Can't you see I'm dyin' on my feet
Walkin' to my grave, too gone to weep
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
There just dreams of a dreamer gone blind
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
There just dreams of a dreamer gone blind

Drinkin' My Way Back Home

I sobered up in Houston
In the bed of my p***** truck
My head was hangin' so heavy
I could hardly hold it up

I got to thinkin' 'bout
Sweet little woman I left all alone
And that's when I started rollin'
Drinkin' my way back home

Drinkin' my way back home
Listenin' to a honky tonk song
I hope the Devil in my soul don't steer me wrong
'Cause I'm drinkin' my way back home

I can feel that Texas sun
Down on this redneck of mine
Every time I pop top
I'm getting closer to the Arkansas line

I left a trail of Lone Star beers
From here to San Antone
So, baby, here I come, don't worry
Drinkin' my way back home

Drinkin' my way back home
Listenin' to a honky tonk song
I hope the Devil in my soul don't steer me wrong
'Cause I'm drinkin' my way back home

Drinkin' my way back home
Listenin' to a honky tonk song
I hope the Devil in my soul don't steer me wrong
'Cause I'm drinkin' my way back home

Here I come, baby

Everything I Used To Do

Smoked my first cigarette after being quit for years
I waited long enough and they taste so good with beer
Yes, I'm drinkin' again just a little weekend booze
I'm doin' everything I used to do but lovin' you

I've been down to the factory, even got my old job back
Workin' under Junior Moore again, he won't cut us any
slack
But it's better than nothing and it always gets me
through
Yes, I'm doin' everything I used to do but lovin' you

Then running into you, seems like old times again
Let's have a drink or two and you can tell me how you've
been
It all seems so familiar that it must be Deja Vu
'Cause I'm doin' everything I used to do but lovin' you
Yes, I'm doin' everything I used to do but lovin' you

Farewell Party

Verse 1:
When the last, breath of life
Is gone from, my body
And my lips, are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather 'round
For my, farewell party
Want you, pretend you love me

Chorus:
There will be flowers from those
Who cry, when I'm gone
And leave you in this, world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my, farewell party
I know, you'll be glad, when I'm gone

Verse 2:
Don't be mad at me, for wanting to keep you
Till my life on this old world is through
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I'll go away loving you

Repeat Chorus:
Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
