My dad chased monsters from the dark
checked underneath my bed he could lift me with one arm way up over top of his head He could loosen rusty bolts with a quick turn of his wrench he pulled splinters from his hand never even flinched In 13 years I'd never seen him cry but the day that Grandpa died I realized Unsinkable ships - sink Unbreakable walls - break Sometimes the things you think will never happen happen just like that unbendable steel - bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable I've learned to never underestimate ... the impossible Then there was my Jr. year Billy had a brand new car it was late the road was wet ... I guess the curve was just too sharp I walked away with out a scratch they brought the helicopter in and Billy couldn't feel his legs said he'd never walk again but Billy said he would and his Mom and Daddy prayed and the day we graduated he stood up and to say unsinkable ships - sink unbreakable walls - break sometimes the things you think will never happen - happen just like that unbendable steel - bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable I've learned to never underestimate the impossible so don't tell me that it's over don't give up on you and me cause theres no such thing as hopeless if u believe unsinkable ships - sink unbreakable walls - break sometimes the things you think will never happen happen just like that unbendable steel - bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable I've learned to never underestimate the impossible |

There's a place called Joe's
Where some of us go When the hard working day is through Through the neon and smoke We laugh and tell jokes And throw down a cold one or two There's a jukebox that's full of records By Willie, Haggard and Jones There's a picture of Elvis and ol' John Wayne Hanging side by side on the wall Down at Joe's place It's still the old way Pickled eggs in a jar And a blue ribbon sign Ol' boys and bankers Sitting side by side Down at Joe's place Down at Joe's place Along about midnight A few hangers on Are still hanging out at the bar If the telephone rings It's an understood thing Joe don't know where they are At a table in the corner There's a young man and an empty chair His head in his hands. tears in his eyes And a girlfriend's ring lying there Down at Joe's place It's still the old way Pickled eggs in a jar And a blue ribbon sign Ol' boys and bankers Sitting side by side Down at Joe's place Down at Joe's place |

He wore that cowboy hat to cover up his horns
Sweet talking forked tongue had a tempting charm Before I turned around that girl was gone All I can say is bartender pour me something strong [Chorus] Here's to the past they can kiss my glass I hope she's happy with him Here's to the girl who wrecked my world That angel who did me in I think the devil drives a Coup de Ville I watched them drive away over the hill Not against her will and I've got time to kill Down in Brokenheartsville It was long and chrome sittin' in the lot Fire engine red that thing was hot He revved it up she waved goodbye Love's gone to hell and so have I [Chorus] Here's to the past they can kiss my glass I hope she's happy with him Here's to the girl who wrecked my world That angel who did me in I think the devil drives a Coup de Ville I watched them drive away over the hill Not against her will and I've got time to kill Down in Brokenheartsville [Chorus] |

So you lit her cigarette
You're feelin' pretty good You think you've got a shot Most girls you probably would Yeah this is that kind of place But she ain't that kind of girl You're readin' it all wrong Let me tell you about her/ She only smokes when she drinks She only drinks now and then Now and then when she's tired Of bein' let down by men You can give her a light But it's not what you think Everybody knows she only drinks alone And she only smokes when she drinks Did you ask her to dance Let me guess, she told you no Got to take her some place quiet And see how far that goes Oh, don't take it all that hard When she smiles and turns you down For a complicated girl She ain't that hard to figure out She only smokes when she drinks She only drinks now and then Now and then when she's tired Of bein' let down by men You can give her a light But it's not what you think Everybody knows she only drinks alone And she only smokes when she drinks |

Well I hit the snooze when the 'larm clock rings
Laying there doing that sleepyhead thing There's a bird out my window spreadin' his wings Cheap chirp doing' that signin' Thing I do when I first get up Is that coffee thing in my favorite cup Two gets me goin' got things to do Let me tell you a thing or two [Chorus] Everything's a thing if you know what I mean You can't do nothin' 'cause there's no such thing Some things are big and some things are small Some mean a lot, some nothin' at all It's all laid out in a scheme of things No matter what it is everything's a thing Off to work in my old Mustang Doin' that bumper to bumper thing Up ahead a ring a ling ding ding Some guy's doin' that cell phone Thing is the light's turn green And he ain't doin' that drivin' thing And the thing is about all this that talkin' thing And drivin' don't mix [Chorus] If you thing this song ain't worth hummin' You got another thing comin' [Chorus] |

Have you ever seen a river ragin' in the spring
Rushin' down a mountain fast as anything Well, if you can picture that wild water That would be her, only deeper Have you ever seen an eagle soaring high above the trees Circling the world below the epitome of free Then you could imagine how I feel when I'm beside her Only higher I'm flying, I'm falling, I'm floating And all I want to do is hold her Closer and spend every day that passes Thinkin' up new ways to love her more If you've never had a vision Of what perfect love would be Just close your eyes and dream a dream That just gets sweeter, an' that would be her I'm flying, I'm falling, I'm floating And all I want to do is hold her Closer and spend every day that passes Thinkin' up new ways to love her more If you've never had a vision Of what a perfect love would be Just close your eyes and dream a dream That just gets sweeter, an' that would be her Just close your eyes and dream a dream That just gets sweeter, an' that would be her |

Here I sit, a nobody with no one
Bein' me ain't really all that fun Leavin' her wasn't very smart Admittin' I was wrong would be so hard If it was cool to be a fool I'd be the hippest guy around If a heartache made you famous I'd be know from town to town It tears were made of pennies And cold beer brought her back My bank account and self esteem would both be in the black If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had Hey, I could be a star If it was cool to be a fool But we all know the way it really is You don't get recognized for doing things like this You spend a lot of time feelin' sorry for yourself It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else If it was cool to be a fool I'd be the hippest guy around If a heartache made you famous I'd be know from town to town It tears were made of pennies And cold beer brought her back My bank account and self esteem would both be in the black If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had Hey, I could be a star If it was cool to be a fool |

In all the pictures that I've seen
Of how angels are supposed to be There's an aura, a kind of emanating light Suggesting perfection that may very well be true But they can't hold a halo to you Their role as protector is what God made them for And I take comfort in knowing they're around I don't mean to sound ungrateful or diminish what they do But they can't hold a halo to you By their very nature they must be heaven sent Here to work their miracles, to wonder and to bless I pray the Lord forgives me 'cause when you touched me that's when I knew That they can't hold a halo to you. |

You think you're smart
You think you're smooth You think that love can't get its hands on you I'm living proof A man ain't that strong You got no choice when the right one comes along 'Cause you can't run And you can't hide When love's got you in its sites You might as well give up the fight When it calls 'Cause you can't break the fall You say it's got no chance You make no mistakes 'Cause you've been close to the edge before and walked away But your day's commin' Don't kid yourself And when it comes you'll be down before you know you fell |

On a park bench the old man
Sat and stared into yesterday I sat down beside him and said "Thank God for this quite place Between the wife and the kids, the TV and the phone It seems there's something always goin' on" He said, "Son, if you think this is quite You should follow me home" 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet 'Til you've lived in a house by yourself When silence is all you've got left In the rooms where your babies have slept So don't wish for something you will regret 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet The old man kept talkin' Painting pictures from his memories Did he drag out his past for himself Or was it for me His eyes came alive, he spoke of dancing with his wife And playing ball with his two little boys He said, "Son, what I hear is music, you're callin' noise" 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet 'Til you've lived in a house by yourself When silence is all you've got left In the rooms where your babies have slept So don't wish for something you will regret 'Cause you ain't heard nothin' yet We'll all rest in peace, on that you can bet Oh, you ain't heard nothin' yet |

Now if you want to be happy,let me tell you how to do it
You get up in the morning and you get right to it You bring home the bacon and you make a little bread You get a little sleepy and you go back to bed Life don't have to mean nothin' at all If everybody says you're a little to tall Go out and get yourself a basketball Dye your hair orange and put a ring in your ear You can make forty seven million dollars a year Life don't have to mean nothin' at all If everybody says you're a little to short Go out and get yourself a big ol' horse You can be a jockey if you got no fear You can make forty seven million dollars a year Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Be good to your sister and good to your brother Be good to your poppa and good to your mother Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Now if you're a con man lookin' for a pigeon Go out and start a brand new religion Get on TV and make a money request They can all go to heaven while they're starvin' to death Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Now if everybody says you're a little too rough Go out and get yourself some boxing gloves Beat somebody up around the ears You can make fort y seven million dollars a year Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Be good to your sister and good to your brother Be good to your poppa and good to your mother Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Now if everybody says you're a little to slick Get yourself into politics Get that office and get that power And you can spend forty seven million dollars an hour Life don't have to mean nothin' at all Now if you can pick a guitar and sing through your nose Get yourself a bunchy of cowboy clothes Sing about dying and shedding them tears You can lose forty seven million dollars a year Life don't have to mean nothin' at all |

Ol' Johnny's got a heart of gold
Ask anyone around here But some nights his eyes are far away And filled with tears Sweet Mary Lou's just as good as they come With a weakness for all the wrong men From the look on her face tonight She's been wrong again Bartender's thinkin' to himself As he rubs his towel around a glass Thinkin' 'bout the man with a mem'ry And the woman with a past Lost souls on life's highway Forever lookin' back When you're livin' for the love And the love doesn't last You get a man with a mem'ry A woman with a past Bartender turns the TV down Cranks that ol' jukebox up Carefully selects which buttons to push For what each song does see-23 after J-19, it's a tonic for a broken heart A little Stardust in the mix It's a fine, fine art Dim the lights a notch or two The next round is on the house For the man with a mem'ry And the woman with a past Lost souls on life's highway Forever lookin' back When you're livin' for the love And the love doesn't last You get a man with a mem'ry A woman with a past Oh, we've all got somethin' we've got to get around Now and then you get the chance to help the lost get found Stackin' chairs and sweepin' up He can't help a little smile Now there's a man with a mem'ry There's a woman with a past Lost souls on life's highway Forever lookin' back When you're livin' for the love And the love doesn't last You get a man with a mem'ry A woman with a past |
