Won't You Come Home (And Talk To A Stranger)"

   



Well I was out a drinkin'
With a couple of friends of mine
When the bartender handed me the telephone
Says "There's a wife on the line."
I told her I was just a drinkin'
With a couple of buddies I knew
She told me in a few short words
Just a what she wanted me to do

She said "Oh won't you come home and talk to a stranger.
Cause you might even make yourself a friend."
She said "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger.

It's the only place in days you haven't been."

Well I sat there about an hour
Talkin' with the rest of the guys
When she walked through that front door
She had "Get home" in her eyes
She said "You've danced and talked
With every woman in town but me.
And if you'd just come around the house

You might like my company."

She said "Oh won't you come home and talk to a stranger.
Cause you might even make yourself a friend."
She said "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger.
It's the only place in days you haven't been."

She said "Oh won't you come home and talk to a stranger.
Cause you might even make yourself a friend."
She said "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger.
It's the only place in days you haven't been."

Today My World Slipped Away"

   
 


We made it final today.
I gave you all I had, you made your getaway.
All the love we once made turned to memories today.
I left the courtroom and went straight to the church.
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt.
Nothin' left of my heart;
It's gonna be so hard to make a new start.

[Chorus:]
'Cause today my world slipped away.
We buried the plans that we made.
And tonight I'm alone and afraid.

Cause today my world slipped away.

All my friends say I'll make it alright.
I'll recover and start a new life.
But that'll be so hard to do
'Cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you.

[Chorus]

I've Got A Funny Feeling"

   



Well my baby's wearin' a permanent smile
A satisfied look I ain't seen for awhile
I ain't had no rings, fulfilled any dreams
But somethin's come over my baby it seems

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

If I came home early, Lord what would I find?
Maybe I'd rather just walk around blind
I know baby loves me, Lord I understand

I love how emotions can get out of hand

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

Wherever he is, well I'm callin' his bluff
I'm gonna start wearin' that good smellin' stuff
And I'll be the lover that I used to be
Whatever she's missin', she'll get it from me

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal

I love how emotions can get out of hand

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal
I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealing my gal

Wherever he is, well I'm callin' his bluff
I'm gonna start wearin' that good smellin' stuff
And I'll be the lover that I used to be
Whatever she's missin', she'll get it from me

I've got a funny feeling somebody's stealin' my honey
Lord I love that child, love to see her smile
But these circumstances ain't funny
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal

The Nerve"

   



I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day.
I could just as easily have let you get away.
In that crowded airport far from my hometown,
If I had lost my courage then you wouldn't be around;
I'm glad I had the nerve.

And I'm glad he had the nerve to get down on his knees
And say "I bought this ring for you, won't you wear it please"
My daddy sure touched something in my momma's heart somehow
If he hadn't, I sure wouldn't be here with you now;

I'm glad he had the nerve

[Chorus:]
Or I never would have lived like this
Or learned like this, or laughed like this, or loved like this.

I'm glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea
My great granddaddy's great-grandpa, in 1833.
He met an Indian maiden, in the Smoky Mountain mist
If they hadn't crossed that line I would not exist;
I'm glad they had the nerve.

I'm glad He had the nerve, while staring into space
To give this universe a time and a place.
With one tiny atom, or an Adam and an Eve
However you look at it, whatever you believe;
