WINE 

Before I met you I was a meek and humble man
And on my own I could always find your will to stand
But my weakness and your power made me play too rough
So it's time to let you know I had enough.

For the first time in my life I'm really proud of me
And without you I can't be the way I wanna be
You, you changed and rearranged my life too much
I don't love you anymore I had enough.

I'm so proud to know I finally got control of me
And it's good to know I'm on my feet and not down on my knees
The roads you've drag me down were much too rough
Wine you've used me long enough.

Warm red wine you've used me long enough...

WINGS OF A DOVE 

On the wings of a snow white dove he sends his pure sweet love
A sign from above on the wings of a dove
When troubles surround us and evils come
The body grows weak and the spirits grow numb
When these things beset us he doesn't forget us
He sends down his love on the wings of a dove
On the wings of a snow white dove...
When Noah has drifted in the flood many days
He searched for land in various ways
Troubles he had some but wasn't forgotten
He sent down his love on the wings of a dove
On the wings of a snow white dove...
On the wings of a dove on the wings of a dove

WINO THE CLOWN 

Chorus:
He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants
When he staggers down the street it's a funny little dance
Children gather 'round as he falls down
Everybody laughs at wino the clown.

They just don't know the reason why
But when she died, he died inside
He lost all his will to live
And he had no use for pride.
Not even all his children's love
Could bring him back again
He just crawled into a bottle
Now he's waiting for the end.

Chorus:
He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants
When he staggers down the street it's a funny little dance
Children gather 'round as he falls down
Everybody laughs at wino the clown.

They laugh when he comes down the street.
Stumbles all alone.
At they way he smiles and holds his arm
Just as if someone's holding on.
They all think he's lost his mind
talking to thin air
Ah, but only me and my daddy knows
That mama's walking there.

Chorus:
He's got a funny red nose, old baggy pants,
When he staggers down the street it's a funny little dance
Children gather 'round when he falls down
Everybody laughs at wino the clown.

But I never laugh when my daddy falls down
I'll always love wino the clown...

WON'T IT BE WONDERFUL THERE 

When with the savior we enter the glory land
Won't it be wonderful there
Ended the troubles and cares of the story land
Won't it be wonderful there?

Won't it be wonderful there
Having no burdens to bear
Joyously singing, with heartbells all ringing
Won't it be wonderful there?

Walking and talking with Christ, the Supernal One
Won't it be wonderful there
Praising, adoring the Matchless Eternal One
Won't it be wonderful there?

Chorus:
Won't it be wonderful there
Having no burdens to bear
Joyously singing, with heartbells all ringing
Won't it be wonderful there?

There where the tempest will never be sweeping us

Sure that forever the Lord will be keeping us
Won't it be wonderful there?

Chorus:
Won't it be wonderful there
Having no burdens to bear
Joyously singing, with heartbells all ringing
Oh, won't it be wonderful there?...

WONDERS YOU PERFORM 

Oh Lord, you know that I'm not
One to bother you with little things
And you and I have never been too close
But we've always been on speakin' terms
I've watched you with doin' things
And tried to understand you more than most.

No I haven't gone to church the way I ought to
But I always thought you knew
In my own way I worshipped you
While even your own children
Doubt and fail to understand
The simple way you go about the things you do.

I've seen the doubt upon the face of loved ones
As they sadly placed a wreath of flowers on a tiny
grave
And wondered why a child is brought into the world
To only live a little while and die, you could have
saved.

But I believe that in your eyes
This little child was somethin' special
And you wanted it to be with you, no doubt
So with out-stretched arms you beckoned
It's so simple that I reckon
They can't understand the way you worked it out.

Once I saw a young man growin'
Till he neared the age of knowin'
Then I watched as somethin' happened to his mind
No doctor could correct it,
It was just as I suspected
And I marvelled at your way of bein' kind.

They tried everything in vain and
I was there when they explained it
To the family, how he slipped into a trance
Guess you looked into the future,
Watched him turn his back upon you
Lovin' him so much you couldn't take the chance.

It took a lot of love to die,
For sinners such as I
And I guess that's why you've never given up on me
You understood when some denied you
And even when they crucified you
Knowin' all these things were meant to be.

For the stable's such a simple thing,
No wonder there were few who came
To see a king the night that...

WOOD AND WIRE 

Fame...A dream put off for the familys needs
he puts in 8 down at the factory
when he gets home his feet are tired
if he had his way he'd been a workin..
with his hands on wood and wire

Chorus
Saganaw spruce
Tennessee maple
Sears and robuck
black diamond strings
late a night he fans that fire...
when he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

Days...years...his dream just disappears
they never once heard him complainin'
their every wish is his desire
and without then he might have made it...
with his hands on wood and wire..
Late a night he fans that fire
when he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

Chorus
Saganaw spruce
Tennessee maple
Sears and robuck
black diamond strings
late a night he fans that fire...
when he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

Bridge
If u ask him..he will tell u...
that he don't have no regrets
then he'll take his calloused fingers
and let 'em fly across those frets


Chorus
Saganaw spruce
Tennessee maple
Sears and robuck
black diamond strings
late a night he fans that fire...
when he grabs a hold of that wood and wire

WORRIED MIND 

You promised me love that would never die that promise you've made was only a lie
 Now after you've gone all alone I've pined for all that I've got was a worried mind
 I gave you a ring I gave you a home you promised me love that you'd never wrong
 I bought you fine clothes and I bought you wine but all that I got was a worried mind
 [ fiddle ]
 And when I was down you've just left me there I needed you so but you didn't care
 You found a new love and a home so fine but all that I've got is a worried mind

WORST OF LUCK 

I just got the news, I understand you're married
While your friends are congratulatin' you
I'll add my two cents and I'll convey my feelings
So here's wishing all the worst of luck to you.

May the troubles that you have all be big ones
I hope every dress he buys you turns to blue
May your life with him be one big mess of heartaches
Oh, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you.

I hope everything he touches start to hurtin'
'Cause I know that he'll be touchin' you a lot
If you think I wan't revenge well, you're right I really do
So, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you.

--- Instrumental ---

May your life with him be one big mess of
Oh, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you

Yes, here's wishing all the worst of luck to you...

WOULD IT DO ME ANY GOOD 

Would it do me any good if I called on the phone
Tell you I'm sorry for doing you so wrong
And say that I need you the way you said that I would
Should I hope for tomorrow, oh, my sorrow
Would it do me any good?

Would it do me any good if I knocked on your door
To say that I'll never turn on you anymore
To me she meant nothing and she never could
Will we have a new beginning, should I dream of some day when you
Would it do me any good?

It's hard to be somebody but it's so easy to be a fool
With one mistake it's as if you break everyones rule
To me she meant nothing and she never could
Should I hope for tomorrow, oh, my sorrow
Would it do me any good?

WOULD THEY LOVE HIM DOWN IN SHREVEPORT 

If they saw Him riding in, long hair flying in the wind,
Would they love Him down in Shreveport today?
If they heard He was a Jew and a Palestinian too,
Would they love Him down in Nashville today?

If they saw Him talk with ease
To the junkies, whores, and thieves,
Would they love Him out in Wichita today?
Would the rich men think it funny
If He said give up your money?
Would they love Him up on Wall Street today?

If He made the wine from water,
Gave it to their sons and daughters,
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?
If He talked of brotherhood
As He walked their neighborhoods,
Would they love Him up in Boston today?

Oh, If He said love those who use you,
And forgive those who abuse you,
If He turned the other cheek, what would you say?
Would you laugh and call Him crazy,
And just send Him on his way,
If He walked right into your town today?

Would you laugh and call Him crazy,
And just send Him on his way,
If He walkd right into your town today?
