That's Why I Love Her So

The quiet way she sits there with her hand in mine
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so
And the way she's always tender with my mind
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so
In a crowded room you'll never know she's there
Unless I need her and if I really need her
She'll gladly tell the world how much she cares
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so

[guitar]

In a crowded room...
That's why I love her so that's why I love her so

The Bob Song

Well I once knew a Pirate named BOB
B-O-B Bob was a drunken old Slob
B-O-B Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rock
But Bob
He made it to the top

He said: You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons and I'll have my lime
Funny we all act like monkeys sometimes
So you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine
I'll Swing from mine

He said I'd rather make love than war
And I'd rather have millions than to ever be poor
But I'd rather be happy than to have anymore,
Guess I'm.... a lil tangled in the vine

Oh, You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons and I'll have my lime
Funny we all act like monkeys sometimes
So you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine
I'll Swing from mine

The Ghost

The silence is unusually loud tonight the strange sound
of nothing fills my ears
The night rushes in like a crowd of nights and the ghost
of our old love goes away
This strange world of darkness that comes with the night
Grows darker when it walks my way
And it lasts while I listen for the breaking of day
And the ghost of our old love goes away
[ steel ]
This strange world of darkness...
And the ghost of our old love goes away

The Git Go (with Jamey Johnson)

It's been that way since the git go,
It's been that way since the git go
Well it's been that way since the git go,
Lord it's always been that way

Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite
Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right
Well they woke up naked with a big headache,
He done done in by a slippery snake,
A man and a woman get to live a while and then they die

It's been that way since the git go,
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go,
Lord it's always been that way

Politicians make promises that they can't keep
They keep printin' money 'till they get in way too deep
It's the same old lesson, they never learn,
Too busy workin' on their next term
Politicians keep makin' fools out of you and me

It's been that way since the git go,
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go,
Lord it's always been that way

Money breeds war, as long as there's a man alive
Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight
High-rollers crap out ev'ry time, roll a soldier's bones like loaded dice
War is the beast that makes ev'ry mother cry

It's been that way since the git go,
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go,
Lord it's always been that way

He told the truth, and they hung him up to die
The son of God who created you and I
He said it in the Good Book and letters in red
But we keep on forgettin' ev'ry thing that He said
Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I

It's been that way since the git go,
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go,
Lord it's always been that way

It's been that way since the git go,
It's been that way since the git go
It's been that way since the git go,
Lord it's always been that way

The Good Ol' Nights

People sit around and they talk and talk,
How their dreams all ended too soon.
Guess they never hung out under the stars,
Howlin' at the moon.
I guess we're as different and nine and eight,
I see it in a different light.
I don't think much about the good ol' days,
Just about the good ol' nights.

Talk about the good times,
Talk about the times when the times were right.
You can keep the good ol' days,
I'll take the good ol' nights.

They wanna go back to when a Cadillac,
Didn't look like a Chevrolet.
It mean't a lot to them but not a thing to me,
I never owned one anyway.
But a good lookin' woman and an old guitar,
With both of them tuned just right.
Well I don't think much about the good ol' days,
Just about the good ol' nights.

Talk about the good times,
Talk about the times when the times were right.
You can keep the good ol' days,
I'll take the good ol' nights.

You can keep the good ol' days,
I'll take the good ol' nights.

The Great Divide

Now here we are.
Standing where the highways cross.
And here we are saying goodbye.
Just another love lost in the great divide.

Here we are acting like two crazy kids.
We've come too far to ever see it end like this.
Just another love lost in the great divide.

Remember how we used to dance together.
Remember how I used to hold you tight.
You asked me if I'd leave and I said never.
And that's still right.

Summer sun, no prettier than summer rain.
Summer gone, summer coming back again.
Other loves lost in the great divide.

Remember how we used to dance together.
Remember how I used to hold you tight.
You asked me if I'd leave and I said never.
And that's still right.

Summer sun, no prettier than summer rain.
Summer gone, summer coming back again.
Other loves lost in the great divide.
Other loves lost in the great divide.

The Harder They Come

Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

The Nearness Of You

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

The Part Where I Cry

Life is a picture and I play the lead but my biggest line was goodbye
Now my leading lady has walked out on me and this is the part where I cried
I was great in the scene where she found someone new
You should have seen my look of surprise
And if you'll have just walk into the picture this is the part where I cry

And after the picture is over and it's judged for the part where you lied
The award of the chiefment that's given will be mine for the part where I cried
I was great in the scene...

The Party's Over

Chorus
Turn out the lights, the party's over
They say that all good things must end
Let's call it a night,the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

What a crazy, crazy party, never seen
So many people laughin', dancin'
Look at you, you're havin' fun
But look at me, I'm almost cryin'
But that don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery, 'cause for me the party's over

Chorus

Once I had a love undyin'
I didn't keep it, wasn't tryin'
Life for me was just one party,
And then another
I had to have my party wine
Broke her heart so many times,
And then one night she said
Sweetheart, the party's over

Chorus
