I GOT EVERYTHING 

You got the money, the big career
You can fly most anywhere to get away from here
I got my man, we ain't to tight
But we can rock 'em at the Rooster every Saturday night
I got my girl, got my guitar, I got everything.

You got a wet rag up on my neck
And you can stare at that computer till your eyes turn
red
I got my pad, I got my mouse
And there is forty-seven dozen livin' in my house
I got my girl, got my guitar, I got everything.

Well, my girl is a hot wire, full of burnin' desire
Can't wait to put her lovin' arms around me
I got her with my guitar, really set her on fire
Knew she was mine
The moment that I dropped down to my knees.

It's what you got, not what you ain't
If you got all that you need then you got it made
Don't take much to satisfy me
'Cause I got everything that money can't buy me
I got my girl, got my guitar, whoa, I got everytyhing.

--- Instrumental ----
Don't take much to satisfy me, uh huh.

Well, my girl is a hot wire, full of burnin' desire
Can't wait to put her lovin' arms around me
I got her with my guitar, really set her on fire
Knew she was mine
The moment that I dropped down to my knees.

It's what you got, not what you ain't
If you got all that you need then you got it made
Don't take much to satisfy me
'Cause I got everything money can't buy me
I got my girl, got my guitar, I got everytyhing.

Yooo --- Instrumental --- yeah

I got my girl, got my guitar, I got everytyhing.

I got my girl, got my guitar, I got everytyhing,
yeah...

I got my girl, got my guitar, woa, I got everything.
Yeah...

I GOT STRIPES 

(Johnny)
On a Monday I was arrested
On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail (oh yeah)
On a Wednesday my trial was attested
On a Thursday they said guilty and the judges gavel
fell.

(Both)
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
And them chains, them chain they're about to drag us
down.

(George)
On a Monday I got my striped britches
And on a Tuesday I got my ball and chain
And on a Wednesday I'm a workin' kid in ditches
And on Thursay I begged 'em not to knock me down again.

(Both)
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
And them chains, them chain they're about to drag us
down.

(Johnny)
On a Monday my moma come to see me
On a Tuesday they caught me with a file
(George)
On a Wednesday I'm down in solitary
And on Thursday John, I sobbed around bread and water
for awhile

(Both)
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
And them chains, them chain they're about to drag us
down...

I GOTTA GET DRUNK 

Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
Gonna spend my money callin' everybody honey
And wind up singin' the blues.

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And brother I can name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do

Well, I gotta get drunk, Lord, I can't stay sober
There's a lot of good people in town
They love to hear me holler, see me spend my dollar
I wouldn't dream of lettin 'em down.

Well, there's a lot of good doctors keep a-tellin' me,
George
You'd better start slowin' it down
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do
I'll start to spend my money callin' everybody honey
And wind up singin' the blues.

I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
And baby, I can name you a few
Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
'Cause I know just what I'm gonna do...

I GOTTA TALK TO YOUR HEART 

I've gotta talk to your heart
You have no right to make me cry
The love I've shone for you these years
Can't be washed away with tears
I've gotta talk to your heart.

I've gotta make you understand
Our love is drifting far apart
Won't you please stop where you are
Let's not carry this too far
I've gotta talk to your heart.

Who'd told you all those lies
That brought tears to your eyes
You know this never could be
So before you say goodbye
Give me another try
And I'll prove they're wrong you'll see.

I've gotta talk to your heart
Just gotta make you understand
I've gotta try to change your mind
Give me just a little time
I've gotta talk to your heart.

--- Instrumental ---

Who'd told you all those lies
That brought tears to your eyes
You know this never could be
So before you say goodbye
Give me another try
And I'll prove they're wrong you'll see.

I've gotta talk to your heart
Just gotta make you understand
I've gotta try to change your mind
Give me just a little time
I've gotta talk to your heart.

I HEARD YOU CRYING IN YOUR SLEEP 

I know you tried your best to love me you smiled when your heart told you to weep
You tried to pretend that you were happy last night I heard you crying in your sleep
You gave the best years of your life dear and each precious vow you tried to keep
I love you so much I want you happy last night I heard you crying in your sleep
[ steel ]
Your heart is yearning for an old love with new love it's useless to complete
It hurts me to know you are unhappy cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep
You know that you are free to go dear and don't mind if I start to weep
I know I can never make you happy cause last night I heard you crying in your sleep

I JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN 

Now I know whose got to change the way I'm living
It seem they just don't like me the way I am
Tomorrow I may live the way that they're thinkin'
Ah, but tonight I just don't give a damn.

I done everything I can to make you happy
But every word I spoke you always put me down
Tomorrow my arms may ache and want to hold you
Ah, but tonight I just don't give a damn.

Tonight I just don't care what happens to you and me
I wanted to get you on my side but you always disagree
If you should ever want to call me I'll be on my side of
town
But don't call tonight 'cause I still don't give a damn.

Oh, tomorrow morning I might wake up lonely
Aw, But tonight I just don't give damn...

I JUST DON'T LIKE THIS KIND OF LIVIN' 

I just don't like this kind of livin' I'm tired of doin' all the givin'
I give my all and sit and yearn and get no lovin' in return
And I just don't like this kind of livin'
Why do we stay together if we always fuss and fight
You ain't never done to be wrong and I ain't never been right
Tell me where you think we're goin' cause I ain't got no way of knowin'
When things go wrong you go your way you leave me here to pay and pay
And I just don't like this kind of livin'
[ steel ]
I just don't like the things you're doin' your evil heart will be your ruin
When things start running smooth and free you haul right off and you pick on me
And I just don't like this way of livin'
They say the road of love is long it's rocky and it's rough
But if this road don't start to get smooth I've traveled it long enough
Why don't you act a little bit older and get that chip off of your shoulder
Well I told you once now I'll tell you twice you better start to treatin' me nice
Cause I just don't like this kind of livin'

I JUST GOT TIRED OF BEING POOR 

My life with trouble goes back to the candy
That I stole from Jessie Walker's country store
A penny seperated me from choosing sides with honesty
And I just got tired of being poor.

Some folks eat their supper off of silver
And the only world they'll ever know is wealth
But I can't blame the rich folks for these big stone
walls
This prison is the doings of myself.

Freedom ran away from me at twenty-three
I broke the lock on one to many doors
My hungry hands would not behave
When they got close to things they crave
I just got tired of bein' poor.

--- Instrumental ---

I remember Willie Jack who laughed at me
And the talking about the ragged clothes I wore
That's when Willie got a taste of all knuckles in his
face
I just got tired of bein' poor.

Some folks eat their supper off of silver

My hungry hands would not behave

I JUST LOST MY FAVORITE GIRL 

In a bar room I'm standin' with a drink in my hand
Trying to hide from the world
Drink dulls my memory and so here I stand
I just lost my favorite girl.

I'll stay till I'm no longer able to stand
And drink till my head's in a whirl
I'm living the life of an ungodly man
I just lost my favorite girl.

Last call I heard the bartender say
Now I must go out in the world
With no place to go to here I can't stay
I just lost my favorite girl.

--- Instrumental ---

Last call I heard the bartender say
Now I must go out in the world
With no place to go to here I can't stay
I just lost my favorite girl...

I JUST STARTED LIVIN' TODAY 

(Tammy)
Empty, I was just an empty shell 'til I met you
Hungry, just another hungry heart 'til I found you
Loving, loving was a feeling I never knew
Dying, I was dying for the life time with you.

(Both)
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today.

(George)
Touching, there was lightning in the night when I touch
you
And dancing, dancing in your loving arms I wanted you
A love song swaying to the records that jukebox played
Living, I started living when you loved me each day.

(Both)
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today.

(Both)
Your love is my breathe of life
Your love blows me away
I wasn't born yesterday
But I just started living today.

Yes, I just started living today...
