"What This Country Needs"
If I was runnin' this country I'd start it over from scratch Keep what's good, pile up what's bad And then I'd strike the match Yeah we'd go back to the basics Of how things ought to be Yeah, there'd be a lot of changes If it was left up to me 'Cause what this country needs Is a little more steel guitar And put a little fiddle right in the middle Striaght out of a Texas bar And give us a song, we can all sing along From sea to shining sea Be proud of it and always love it That's what this country needs Now if you want to hear about livin' just twist that radio dial 'Til you come to a singer singin' What life is all about 'Cause you can't deny that people still cry They laugh and they smile and they hurt And that's my humble opinion y'all You can take it for what it's worth 'Cause what this country needs Is a little more steel guitar And put a little fiddle right in the middle Striaght out of a Texas bar And give us a song, we can all sing along From sea to shining sea Be proud of it and always love it That's what this country needs Yeah, turn it on up and let it ring out Across the land of the free They ought to build a statue of Hank Williams, Sr. In Washington, D.C. 'Cause what this country needs Is a little more steel guitar And put a little fiddle right in the middle Striaght out of a Texas bar And give us a song, we can all sing along From sea to shining sea Be proud of it and always love it That's what this country needs you just be proud of it and always love it And that's what this country needs.

It's not my style to dance away the night
Or go for a walk beneath the full moonlight And I don't wish on falling stars Or easily give away my heart Chorus But girl, for you I will Can't hide this love that I feel Never been the kind of guy To fall in head over heels But girl, for you I will It's not like me at all to talk about The likelihood of finally settling down Couldn't speak the words "I love you" Or find the courage to say "I do" (Repeat Chorus) I've never been the kind of guy To fall in head over heals But girl, for you I will |

What makes me get up every mornin'
When I can't find the will And what keeps me goin' through the motions When all my dreams are standing still Why do I try so hard How did I get this far What is the bottom line each and every time Chorus I do it for her It's all about her (Oh) God knows she gives me more than I deserve Every thought I think Every breath I breath Everything that I hold dear to me Revolves around one simple little word Her There's times I take it all for granted Just how fortunate I am God knows it took a better woman to make me a better man Oh, sometimes it don't show Don't always let her know What I couldn't live without I know there ain't a doubt (Repeat Chorus) Bridge She's my life's work And for all it's worth (Repeat Chorus) Talkin' about her |

As we passed in the hall
She said we need to talk I can't go on like this another day I froze in my tracks And a chill ran up my back 'Cause I knew what she was gonna say She said there's someone else And I've kept it to myself But I can't keep these feelings locked inside I need to tell you this It's one of your old friends One you haven't talked to in a while She said I'm leaving And there's nothing you can do I said I had a feeling you found somebody new And I'll bet I can guess his name But it's so hard to believe 'Cause she said you're not even close It's someone you don't know I'm leaving you for me I just stood there at a loss for words Tryin' to catch my breath 'Cause I knew that it was over when She said I'm leaving And there's nothing you can do I said I had a feeling that you found somebody new And I'll bet I can guess his name But it's so hard to believe Oh she said you're not even close It's someone you don't know I'm leaving you for me She said you're not even close It's someone you don't know I'm leaving you for me |

Of all the things I've ever done
I'd be hard pressed to think of one That makes me feel the way you do Nothing compares to loving you Of all the things I've yet to try There ain't one thing that comes to mind My running wild days are through Nothing compares to loving you I don't need a mountain I don't need the challenge I don't need a river to cross Girl I can't imagine What could be worth havin' That turns me on the way you do Nothing compares to loving you And one day when I face the Lord Heaven won't be my reward Until you're up there with me too Nothing compares to loving you I don't need a mountain I don't need the challenge I don't need a river to cross Girl I can't imagine What could be worth havin' That turns me on the way you do Nothing compares to loving you Nothing compares to loving you There Ain't nothin' I could ever deam of That I want more than your sweet love I don't need a mountain I don't need the challenge I don't need a river to cross Girl I can't imagine What could be worth havin' That turns me on the way you do Nothing compares to loving you Nothing compares to loving you Nothing compares to loving you Oh yeah, oh yeah -- |

Oh, if I had a big ol' eraser
I'd start from today And go back through life's pages And correct a lot of things Yeah, steppin' on toes with my foot in my mouth Yeah, thought I was the king But that was back Back when I knew everything Yeah, a good hard head and no regrets Is what I thought made the man But now life's hard knocks is about all I've got And sorry's what I am Yeah, I had my old worn-out opinion Oh, and I sure made it plain But that was back Back when I knew everything CHORUS So whaddya say forgive and foget One more chance is all I need Yeah, this ol' loose cannon is a mighty long shot This time I'm askin' please Yeah that's right, I was wrong Now all that I can say Is that was back Back when I knew everything Bridge A little too big for my britcher But life's a whittled me down to size I just hope there's enough of me left To apologize (Repeat chorus) Oh, that was back Back when I knew everything |

She's as gentle as a July breeze
Slippin' through the cottonwood trees I was empty as a man could be Until the day I found her Times I find it hard to put into words The Way I feel when I'm away from her I'm like a man about to die of thirst When I'm not around her Oh, her love is like sweetwater Fallin' from a summer sky Yes, her love is like sweetwater When my well Is runnin' dry It's in the passion of her soft caress It's in the power of her tenderness She can move me with her fingertips And with a whisper she can soother me She electrifies my heart and soul With an energy invisible It's so much more than purely physical This feelin' flowin' through me Oh, her love is like sweetwater Fallin' from a summer sky Yes, her love is like sweetwater When my well Is runnin' dry Yes her love is like sweetwater Fallin' (down) from a summer sky Oh yes, her love is like sweetwater When my well is runnin' dry Sweetwater Oh, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo |

I was never much at findin words to say what's on my mind,
even dare describe what you mean to me, would take a whole lifetime so if it don't come out like shakespeare, or perfect poetry well just remember this, you're the only reason for me who I am, and what I'm for, and why I'm here it ain't a mystery no more you're(you are) the power behind my every dream you're the only reason for me diamonds and gold treasures untold once beheld this heart of mine riches of the earth carry no worth if the soul's left unsatisfied ain't the years that's made the difference, in the man this world now sees it's you, it's you, just you you're the only reason for me you're the only reason for me |
