Hot Burning Flames"



She left me almost burned out
I couldn't feel a thing
A walkin' talkin' statue
Afraid to love again
She did everything to kill a flame
But a little spark got through
She'd of got her way
I'd be gone today
If it hadn't been for you

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

She thought she had me down and out
But at the count of nine
A livin' lovin' angel
Showed up just in time
She thought that I would surely die
Sometimes I wanted to
She had no doubt
The fire was out
But she didn't count on you

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

Without You Here"

Her ship set sail from the docks of Miami
For a two week Caribbean cruise
Our first time apart
In ten years of marriage
She said I'm already missin' you
She called me from Nassau
Ships first port a call
Said the ocean ain't all that's blue
The closer I read was right
This island is paradise
But not without you

She said without you hear
There's just no fun
In the sun would be had
Without you here
It's no place to be
This dream vacation is a bad situation
I'm in misery
In a sea of tears
Without you here

I said darlin' I'm sorry
I should of gone with you
Had a feelin' you'd be feelin' this way
But I'm just as lonely
Your not the only one
Wishin' I was there today
As I hung up the phone
I pictured her there alone
Standin' at the dock of the bay
O' it's more than I can stand
There's gonna be a change in plans
Honey I'm on my way

She said without you hear
There's just no fun
In the sun would be had
Without you here
It's no place to be
This dream vacation is a bad situation
I'm in misery
In a sea of tears
Without you here

She said without you hear
There's just no fun
In the sun would be had
Without you here
It's no place to be
This dream vacation is a bad situation
I'm in misery
In a sea of tears
Without you here

My Heart Won't Wander Very Far From You"

Well honey don't you worry I don't need no barroom queens.
Well I admit she sure knows how to fill a pair of jeans.
And I'll admit now darling she sure is showing me her stuff,
But honey it ain't nearly enough.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I ain't never seen her patch a pair of ragged britches,
Stretch a paycheck till it reaches, scratch my back right where it itches.
And I ain't never seen that and honey till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.

Now honey you know I honor all the hard times we've been through.
I never could've made it with anyone but you.
And I think I know when a lady is really really tough,
But she don't show me nearly enough.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I ain't never seen her stay up all night with a baby,
Calm me down when I get crazy, fix me grits and red-hot gravy.
I ain't never seen that and honey till I do
My heart won't wander very far from you.

No I ain't never seen her make a six- room house a castle,
Teach the young one how to wrestle, straighten out my fishing tackle.
And I ain't never seen that and honey till I do my heart won't wander very far from you.

"Second Chances"

Man don't you know
This woman you want and crave
Is the queen of my kingdom
When she walks through the garden
Roses drop pedals
To cushion the foot steps she takes
I know she once loved you
And I know you still lover her
But you carlessly asked for your freedom
I can see how it hurts you
But it's too late
You made your mistakes

Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by

Man you know second chances these days
Are so hard to come by
I love that lady
So you best forget
Ever gettin' her back cause she's mine
Man you know I had somebody else once
And she just gave me one try
And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by

And second chances these days
Are so hard to come by

You Can't Buy Your Way Out Of The Blues"

   
 


I'd been workin' at forgettin' since you said goodbye,
Lookin' for some good times, the best money can buy.
But it's a bad investment, there's no long term dividends.
You can't buy happiness or heal a heart theat just won't mend.

[Chorus:]
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way.
I should've paid you more attention, but now it's too late.
You can buy a night out on the town, you can buy a loveboat cruise,
But you can't buy your way out of the blues.

No you can't buy your way out of the blues.
You can spend your fool self silly, but your money's all you lose.
Loveluck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth.

"I'm All Behind You Know"

   



Leavin' me behind is all behind you now
It's plain to see that you're for good over me
You've gotta whole new life ahead of you
You did waht you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now

And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know

You're comin' back
My way will come my way again
I'll never be what I was with you and me
And I don't know who or where your goin' to
But you did what you lived to do
And I'm all behind you now

And I'll be behind you always
Should you every be a yesterday
Though it tears me up
To know deep down
I'm all behind you know

Yeah it tears me up to know deep down
I'm all behind you know

If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')"

   



If you got a Cadillac, boy, and a forty - room shack, boy,
A bucket full of money and a tree full of honey,
But if you're gettin' no huggin', no smoochin' or a - muggin'.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If you're ridin' on a gravy train instead of walkin down lover's lane,
You can't make hay, boy, 'cause you're goin' the wrong way boy.
You gotta get a little honey, it's better than money.

If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If they call you a big man 'cause you gotta lotta bottom land.
If you're kin to the president and you help run the government,
But if you're gettin' no attention, you're better off on a pension.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

If you got a string of long cars and you're smokin' them four - bit cigars.
You ain't no well to do unless you get a little koochi - koo.
It takes a little bit of smackin' - all your life's a - lackin'.
If you ain't lovin', then you ain't livin'.

Under These Conditions"

   



Oh how I wish
You could read my mind
Cause words can't always tell it
Like it is some times
When we're this close
The lights and music glow
Why don't we let our feelings
Take us where we want to go

Under these conditions
There ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions
That's running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man

And under these conditions
Hearts get out of hand

You've got those eyes
That won't let go of me
They pull me in and out of touch
With reality
And you got those lips,
That I just got to taste
I'd love to hear them whisper
Darlin take me from this place

Under these conditions
There ain't no wrong or right
We're dealing with emotions
That's running wild to night
A man needs a women
A women needs a man
And under these conditions
Hearts get out of hand
