Heart's Desire

I can't think straight girl you're always on my mind
It's keepin' me up late can't even get to work on time
Got a fever burnin' up inside I see your face each time I close my eyes

You're my heart's desire always thinking of you
Heart's desire girl I want you so bad
Like a car spinnin' out of control with a blown out tire
You're my heart's desire I do believe I love you
Heart's desire best I never had
Got a yearning down deep and I don't want to put out the fire
Cause you're my heart's desire

You walk by I can barely speak your name
You bat your eye and my courage goes down the drain
My chest is poundin' and I must confess you're givin' me a cardiac arrest

You're my heart's desire always thinking of you...

[ guitar ]
Like a sweet tooth craving candy
I got such a longing I can hardly stand it

You're my heart's desire always thinking of you...

Love Without Mercy

Woke up this morning and I knew I'd be late
Somehow it came as no surprise
I saw the way she was looking at me
I saw no mercy in her eyes

She gives me love without mercy her arms don't wanna let go
Love without mercy am I complaining mercy no

[ guitar ]
I have no trouble sleeping at night
When I got a problem on my mind
But she give me something precious and sweet
And it solves that problem every time

She gives me love without mercy...

When I feel like this world wants no part of me
She knows I need love not sympathy

She gives me love without mercy...
I said am I complaining mercy no

Lucky Me Lucky You

Got a sack full of old lottery tickets
I guess I oughta throw 'em away
I threw a lot of money at the race track ponies
But I never even won one race
And you say every chain letter you ever got
You passed right along to your friends
Still all you ever got was a chain of bad luck
That you swore you thught was never gonna end
Well honey all the good fortune that was passin' us by
Sure came back around when your eyes met mine

Lucky me lucky you
We finally fell into something so strong and true
Lucky me lucky you
I thank my lucky stars and the good Lord too

I remember sittin' down with the gypsy woman
She took a close look at my hand
She said son I can see a lot of love in your life
Someday you're gonna understand
You say you threw a lot of change down that wishin' well
But it never really changed a thing
Well honey all of those pennies are payin' off now
I'm buyin' you a diamond ring

Lucky me lucky you...

[ guitar ]
Well honey all the good fortune that was passin' us by
Sure came back around when your eyes met mine

Lucky me lucky you...

What Kind of Fool do You Think I Am

Here you come knocking on my door when you said you don't need me anymore
Do you really think I'm crazy enough to go throwing my good heart after bad love

What kind of fool do you think I am I ain't falling for you over again
I ain't playing a game that I know I can't win what kind of fool do you think I am

[ guitar ]
I was lost in your love and I got burned you hurt me one time I finally learned
Now that I know what your loving can do who do you think you're talking to

What kind of fool do you think I am...

[ guitar ]
Falling in love with you just brought me sorrow
You'll leave me smiling tonight but crying tomorrow

Don't you come knocking on my door cause you know I don't need you anymore
Now do you really think I'm crazy enough to go throwing my good heart after bad love

What kind of fool do you think I am...
What kind of fool do you think I am...

Back To The Well

Chorus:
Got To Get Back To The Well
Drink That Livin' Water
Dive Deep In Myself
Start Feelin' Like I Oughta
Gonna Get Real Still
Gonna Get My Fill
It's Been A Long, Dry Spell
And I Got To Get Back
Got To Get Back To The Well Feelin' Empty For So Long
Wonderin' Where My Faith Has Gone
I Think About How Lost I've Been
In A Search That Never Ends
And I've Got To Keep Movin' On Repeat Chorus
This Life Can Be A Great Wasteland
You Got To Do Everything You Can
Only Way To Quench My Thirst
Is Start Puttin' First Things First
It's Gonna Make Me A Better Man Oh, Baby
I Got To Get Back To The Well

Repeat Chorus

It's Been A Long, Dry Spell
And I Got To Get Back
Got To Get Back To The Well
Got To Get Back To The Well
Been A Long, Dry Spell

Something Out of Nothing

I Was Just A Lonely Driver
With My Hands Off The Wheel
Searchin' That Far Horizon
For Somethin' Real

Then You Came Along Like A North
Star Shinin' Now My Way I'm Slowly
Findin' Like You Knew Where I
Needed To Be

Chorus:
You Made Something Out Of Nothin'
Something Out Of Nothin'
Something Out Of Nothin'
When You Made Something Out Of Me
Up Until This Moment
I Never Knew It Was There
Till You Pulled It Like
Magic Right Out Of Thin Air
I Could Not Believe It
Much To My Surprise
Reflected There In Your Eyes
Was The Man That I Wanted To Be
Repeat Chorus
Was It Faith That You Had
To See The Good Through The Bad
More Than I Could Have Ever Believed

Repeat Chorus

Just Lucky That Way

This World Will Deal You A Few Tough Hands
You Can Hold, You Can Fold, Just Play The Best You Can
How I Came To Win Your Love, I Really Can't Say
It's Ok, I Guess I'm Just Lucky That Way

My Road Has Taken A Few Wrong Turns
But All The Dark Dead Ends Have Helped Me To Learn
My Direction May Be Cloudy Some Days
It's Ok, I Guess I'm Just Lucky That Way
I Guess I Could Complain About The Trouble
I've Been Through But If I Hadn't Lost It All
I Might Have Never Found You
Now The Wheel's Gonna Spin Round And Round Again
There's Still All The Ways To Lose And All The Ways To Win
When I Look Back At All The Games I've Had To Play
It's Ok, I Guess I'm Just Lucky That Way
When I Look Back At All The Games I've Had To Play
It's Ok, I Guess I'm Just Lucky That Way
Oh, Baby It's Ok, I Guess I'm
Just Lucky That Way
It's Ok Baby, I Guess I'm Just Lucky That Way
Lucky That Way

Old Soul

She's A Little More Than A Child Herself
Now With Children Of Her Own
All Her Living's Done For Someone Else
The Only Life She's Ever Known
All The Dreams And Desires That She Had
She Had To Put Them All On Hold
While Another Young Heart Became An Old Soul
The River Of Life Keeps Rushing By She Just Rolls With
The Flow She's Seen It All Through World-Weary Eyes
She Takes It Like It Comes And Goes And She's Forgotten
More About Life And Love Than Most Will Ever Know
While Another Young Heart Became An Old Soul
Laugh Too Little And You Cry Too Much Way Too Long
Without A Gentle Touch The Weight Of The World
Resting Down In Your Bones And Pretty Soon You've Got
An Old Soul Pretty Soon You've Got An Old Soul
You Laugh Too Little And Cry Too Much Way Too Long
Without That Gentle Touch The Weight Of The World
Resting Down In Your Bones Pretty Soon You've Got An
Old Soul Pretty Soon You've Got An Old Soul And God
Have Mercy On That Old Soul

Don't Water it Down

I Like My Coffee Strong And Black
Don't Cut It With No Cream
I Like My Clear Corn Liquor
I Like My High Test Gasoline
You Come On Like A Freight Train
But Honey You're On The Right Track
Go Ahead And Give It Full Throttle Baby
Don't Hold Nothing Back

Chorus:
Don't Water It Down Shoot
It To Me Straight Whatever You Got
To Dish Out Honey I Can Take
Ain't Afraid Of The Hard Stuff
And I Ain't Just Foolin' Around
Give It All You Got Girl
Don't Water It Down

Some Like A Woman Meek And Mild
That Don't Get In The Way
But I Like A Woman Just A Little Bit Wild
That Says What She Means To Say Honey,
Whatever You're Feeling
Don't Sugarcoat The Truth Go On,
Tell It Like It Is Little Girl
I Can Handle A Hundred Proof

Repeat Chorus Twice

Oh, Don't Water It Down

Daddies and Daughters

I Held You And I Saw You And Still
I Could Not Believe Face To Face With An Angel
There Staring Right Back At Me
Placed In These Working Man's Arms
By The Hands Of The Father
Oh, Mary Full Of Grace, Blessed The Love
Between Daddies And Daughters Tucking You In
Reading "good Night Moon" Every Night
Then Kneelin' Down Saying Our Prayers
Side By Side Down On My Knees With You I Swear
I Never Stood Taller Oh, Mary Full
Of Grace, Blessed The Love Between Daddies And Daughters
And Every Time I See You Now I Can't Remember Nothin'
'bout Anything Before More And More I Realize
Yours Was Not The Only Life
That Began On The Day That You Were Born
Bless The Angels That Brought You And The Love
Between Daddies And Daughters
You Will Always Reside In My Heart's Most Sacred Place
Safe From All Time And All Distance There You Will Remain
The Faith You've Had In Me Made Me And My Faith So Much
Stronger For The Blessings You've Brought Me
And The Lessons You've Taught Me
Oh, Mary Full Of Grace, Blessed The Love
Between Daddies And Daughters Bless The Angels
That Brought You And The Love
Between Daddies And Daughters

You Can't Lose 'Em All

They Say Every Dog Gonna Have His Day
Ain't So Much As A Bone Ever Thrown My Way
My Good Luck's Been Runnin' Bad
Lost Everything That I Ever Had
'cause The Dice Won't Roll My Way
I Keep Bettin' Waitin' On The Ace To Fall
'cause You Can't Lose 'em All
Bit Off More Than A Man Can Chew
Worked And I Slaved, Gave It All To You
But I Just Kept On Hangin' On
Even When All Hope Was Gone
I Knew I Had To See It Through
Tryin' To Keep The Faith
Each Time I Fall
'cause You Can't Lose 'em All
You Can't Lose 'em All
The Table's Gonna Turn Someday
What Goes Up Must Come Down
The Pendulum Swings Around
Don't Give Up
'cause This Could Be Your Lucky Day
You Can't Lose 'em
All No, You Can't Lose 'em All
What Goes Up Must Come Down
The Pendulum Swings Around
Don't Give Up
'cause This Could Be
Your Lucky Day
You Can't Lose 'em All
No, You Can't Lose 'em All
No, You Can't Lose 'em All
You Can't Lose 'em All

Breaking the Chain

Angry Words Just Like A Whip Across My Back
I Remember Just How It Felt
Made A Promise Right Then
And There To Never
Do That To No One Else
I'm Breaking The Chain
No More Taking All The Hurt And
All The Wrong Turning Right Around And Passing It On
Spreading The Shame
I'm Breaking The Chain
Tried Passing The Blame For The Shape This Old World's
In 'bout As Long As I Can Maybe It's Time I Quit Pointin'
My Finger And Try Lending A Hand
I'm Breaking The Chain Maybe That's Where The End Of
The Sorrow Starts Little By Little Doing Our Part
Making A Change I'm Breaking The Chain
I'm Breaking The Chain Maybe That's Where The End Of
The Sorrow Starts Little By Little Doing Our Part
Making A Change I'm Breaking The Chain No More
Taking All The Hurt And All The Wrong Turning Right
Around And Passing It On Spreading The Shame
I'm Breaking The Chain

The Hunger

Some Will Only Lay Their Money Down
On The Strongest One Others Take
Another Way Around They Want The
Fastest Gun I Know About It, Heard
It All Before And I Believe There Is
Somethin' More A Power That Can
Lay The Quick And The Mighty Right
Under
I'll Take The One With The Hunger
I'll Take The One With The Hunger
Some Had To Fight Tooth And Nail
Just To Get This Far Struggle And
Sweat Each And Every Day Knowing
What The Chances Are Hope's Fading
And Wearin' Thin Can't Give Up And
They Won't Give In With The Wolf At
The Door Diggin' His Hole Right Under
It Takes A Soul With The Hunger It
Takes A Soul With The Hunger
Long Ago I Learned A Simple Fact
That You Keep On Going Cause You
Can't Go Back And If It Don't Do You
In, It'll Make You Stronger Give You
A Soul With The, Give You A Soul With
The Hunger
Long Ago I Learned A Simple Fact
That You Keep On Going Cause You
Can't Go Back And If It Don't Do You
In, It'll Make You Stronger Give You
A Soul With, Give You A Soul With The
Hunger
It Takes A Soul With The Hunger Eat
Up With The Hunger

That's All There Is

More Than A Mountain Of Silver More Than A River Of Pearls
Her Love Is More Precious Than Anything In This World
Every Time That I Hold Her It's Like A Diamond I've Found
And When She Whispers My Name All My Troubles Go
Tumbling Down

Chorus:
And That's All There Is, Child And There Ain't No
More Ain't Nothing Else Here, Child Worth You Troubling
For Them With It Are Rich, Babe Them Without It So Poor
That's All There Is My Child There Ain't No More
Summertime In The Evening Fireflies Come Out Children
Lost In The Feeling Chasing Them All Around And Round And
Round Gentle Hands That Hold One “daddy, Quick Come See”
And The Look On Her Face Is Nothing Less Than Amazing To Me

Repeat Chorus

Oh I've, I've Come To Understand I Know Now The Lucky Man
Ain't The One Who Has All That He Wants But The One Who
Wants All That He Has

Repeat Chorus

Oh, That's All There Is Child Don't Waste Your Time Worrying,
Babe Ain't Worth The Worry That's All

Saving Grace

I Got Home Late Found You Asleep A Flood Of Feelings
Washed Over Me Overcome By Your Loving Ways You've
Always Been My Saving Grace
I've Been Doubtful I've Been Lost In Fear My Direction
So Unclear But You Stood By Me And You Kept The Faith
You've Always Been My Saving Grace
Oh, When I Look At You I Realize How Lucky I Am Your
Love Lifted Me And You Chose Me To Be Your Man
Oh, When I Look At You I Realize How Lucky I Am Your
Love Lifted Me And You Chose Me To Be Your Man
Now When My Future Threatens Me And I'm Caught Up In
Uncertainty I Feel Your Love And I'm Unafraid I Know
You'll Be My Saving Grace
You'll Always Be My Saving Grace
