Honey To a Bear
Back in the woods out in the muck
You said somethin’ sweet we were gettin’ in the truck
So I giggled and I wiggled just a little like I didn’t care
But a little bit of love from you is like honey to a bear
Back at the house out in the yard
You saddled up to me and you kissed me hard
So I shivered and I quivered not a little no it isn’t fair
How a little bit of love from you is like honey to a bear
Oh now you don’t have to do that much to please me
Honey all your love goes down so easy
Out on the town sittin’ at the bar
She was gettin’ too close and lookin’ for a spar
So I shoved her and I gloved her didn’t hug her no I don’t share
Cause a little bit of love from you is like honey to a bear
Back at the crib snuggled up tight
You leaned in to me cause you didn’t wanna fight
So I snuggled and I cuddled and I huddled no I wouldn’t dare
When a little bit of love from you is like honey to a bear
Yeah a little bit of love from you is like honey to a bear
Oh now you don’t have to do that much to please me
Honey all your love goes down so easy
Back in the woods out in the muck
You said somethin’ sweet we were gettin’ in the truck
So I giggled and I wiggled just a little like I didn’t care
But a little bit of love from you is like honey to a bear
Yeah a little bit of love from you is like honey to a bear
Lost wIth You
I wanna get lost with you ride around all night
Then sleep all day in the warm sunlight
Gonna have a lot to say with nothin’ to do
Roll the windows down get lost with you
Wanna see a beach sunrise resting on your chest
When the day is done gonna watch it set
Wind in our hair sand in our shoes
On a beach somewhere get lost with you
Wanna get high and never come back down
So lost in love we may never be found
Gonna have a lot to say with nothin’ to do
Roll the windows down and get lost with you
Wanna get lost with you here in our bed
Where the lonely nights are gone for good
Gonna have lotsa fun twisting in the sheets
And when we’re done gonna watch you sleep
Wanna get high and never come back down
So lost in love we may never be found
Wanna have a lot to say with nothin’ to do
All alone tonight and get lost with you
Wanna get high and never come back down
So lost in love we may never be found
Wanna have a lot to say with nothin’ to do
All alone tonight get lost with you
Wanna have a lot to say with nothin’ to do
All alone tonight get lost with you
Sugartown
I heard your daddy died
And your mama moved away
I keep up on you from a distance
Has it been twenty years
Since we walked across that stage
Where I’m now I don’t feel different
I’m still growin’ up and learnin’ how to stay between the lines
And I can’t help but think of you sometimes
In this Sugartown where we were raised
Sun comes up on the sugarcane
Work work work in the red hot sun
Don’t call it off till the job gets done
I moved on you stayed behind
Still somehow that don’t feel right
From this sugartown
They still got the factory
And the levee on the lake
And your brother’s fixin’ cars just off the highway
Now there’s a big box store
Where we used to go and park
If I could I’d have it my way
They’re still raisin’ cane there on Friday night
Them Okeechobee boys still lookin’ for a fight
In this Sugartown where we were raised
Sun comes up on the sugarcane
Work work work in the red hot sun
Don’t call it off till the job gets done
I moved on you stayed behind
Still somehow that don’t feel right
From this sugartown
And 27 rolls like a beacon in the night
Back to the coast and on down the line
Away from this sugartown
Sugartown
This sugartown where we were raised
Sun comes up on the sugarcane
Work work work in the red hot sun
Don’t call it off till the job gets done
Sugartown
Sugartown
Half Crazy
You can try to hold her
Give her kisses sweet
Maybe get you what you want
Never get you what you need
You’d have to be half crazy
To think it’d work out fine
You can be her man try to be hold her hand
But it won’t be mine
Where you gonna go when the wind blows cold
And you’re standin’ in the rain
It ain’t the memory of her kisses
That’s drivin’ you insane
You’d have to be half crazy
To think it’d work out fine
You can be her man try to be hold her hand
But it won’t be mine
Now I can see you told her
That I was just a friend
Now you’re in here with her
And I’m in here with him
She gives you kisses on your fingers
Kisses on your shoulder
You turn back towards the band reachin’ for her hand
But you keep lookin’ over
Where you gonna go when the wind blows cold
And you’re standin’ in the rain
If ain’t the memory of her kisses
That’s drivin’ you insane
You’d have to be half crazy
To think it’d work out fine
You can be her man try to hold her hand
But it won’t be mine
You can be her man try to hold her hand
But it won’t be mine
SawmIller's Daughter
Way back in the swamp where the crickets chomp
And the deer and the catfish play
Lived a sawmill man on a piece of land
Raising his family
As a little girl he was my whole world
My daddy worked hard every day
Chase the hogs mill the logs
Make that sawblade spin
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
When you’re out on the land loggin’ the strand
It’s a struggle just to survive
Workin’ the saw and prayin’ to God
That you make it outta there alive
When the cypress bawl’s it’s a hell of a fall
You better get back and be still
Load it on up and take it on home
To that old sawmill
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
Back at the house we’re throwin’ the slabs
With the chickens and the dogs and the heat
Early come mornin’ but long come supper
Fix a little somethin’ to eat
Another day will come he’d say
Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise
Take that old Gibson down in the kitchen
Do a little pickin’ tonight
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
For every chance you get there’s a chance you met
So take a chance every chance that you can
Cause I’m tellin’ you son there ain’t no fun
In the life of a sawmill man
My daddy’s life was sung but he died young
And we miss him every day
Not a minute’s passed I wouldn’t go back
To those sawmill ways
My daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
Yeah my daddy was a workin’ man back in high water
And I’m just a product of the man Sawmiller’s Daughter
Dreams of Yesterday
White gravel road stretches for miles and miles
All the love in my mother’s eyes
Come in child suppers on the stove
That old rope swing where we used to play
Swimming hole has seen it’s better day
And all of our footprints have all but washed away
Is it any wonder we go back to those times
When the real world was far away
All along the water’s edge I watched the sun go down
Thinking of how things change
And my dreams of yesterday
My dreams of yesterday
October rain I see you standing there
All dressed up ready to go nowhere
Now all that I feel are kisses in my hair
That covered bridge where we said goodbye
Midnight kiss and I still ask why
All of the those first loves never really die
Is it any wonder we go back to those times
When the real world was far away
All along the water’s edge I watched the sun go down
Thinking of how things change
And my dreams of yesterday
My dreams of yesterday
Was it really as good as I remember
I know there’s days that I forgot
Sometimes the only thing I know for sure
You were there and now you’re not
In my dreams of yesterday
My dreams of yesterday
White gravel road stretches for miles and miles
All the love in my mother’s eyes
Come in child suppers on the stove
Sun And The Moon
It’s the sun and the moon and the stars and the sky
The way we don’t know where we go when we die
It’s the answer to all of the questions that make you ask why
It’s the hope and the prayer and the hug and the kiss
What you don’t see but you know it exists
Somewhere in the wonder and beauty beyond the blue
It’s the sun and the moon
And the stars and the sky
It’s the way that we love
So don’t hold it inside
It’s the hum and the strum and the dream and the wish
The come and the go and the hit and the miss
It’s all of the lessons your learning in playing the fool
It’s the run and the race and the tears and the sweat
The thrill of the chase and the high that you get
For the dream that you been chasin’ when it comes true
It’s the sun and the moon
And the stars and the sky
It’s the way that we love
So don’t hold it inside
It’s the roll and the dice and the game and the bet
It’s the ring and the rice and the baby’s first step
It’s all of the chances we’re taking by saying I do
It’s the heart and soul and the wing and the prayer
The love you don’t see but you know that it’s there
That makes me believe we can make it to take it with you
It’s the sun and the moon
And the stars and the sky
It’s the way that we love
So don’t hold it inside
It’s the sun and the moon
And the stars and the sky
It’s the way that we love
So don’t hold it inside
Hold it inside
Hold it inside
Don’t let your love die
Inside of you
SunkIssed
I’ve been sunkissed I been kissed by the sun
And I sit back and pour me another one
And I watch the ships roll in
Sit and wonder how ya been
How ya been
How ya been
I been sunkissed I been kissed by the sun
And my wish my wish to come undone
Lay back and feel the sand
Pretend it is your hands
Your hands
Your hands
Your hands
Across my burning skin
Never ever end
I been sunkissed I been kissed by the sun
And it’s so good like sugar melting on my tongue
And how I wish that you were here
To whisper in my ear
My ear
My ear
The things you’d wish you’d done
Kissing in the sun
I been sunkissed I been kissed by the sun
I been here all day and it’s been so fun
Just staring into blue
Pretending that it’s you
That it’s you
That it’s you
That it’s you
Kissing me from higher
Setting me on fire
On fire
On fire
On fire
Melting into one
Kissing like the sun
Peace and HappIness
I’ve been searching high and searching low
Got my eye on a guy but he don’t know
Starting over your life takes time I guess
If love were a face I wore the frown
If pain were a queen I wore the crown
It doesn’t really matter I did my best
Now I’m searching for my peace and happiness
Shake it up and let it roll
Got a good feeling about you let’s see where this goes
Eyes on the prize heart on the wheel
Hope on the gas ace on the deal
A sense of something better you must possess
When you’re searching for your peace and happiness
Now there’s a lot of folks in your life
Gonna give you lovely love advice
And it’s a blessing that will put you to the test
Cause’ only you can know what makes you sing
And who can make you love again
It’s up to you to hell with all the rest
When you’re searching for your peace and happiness
So shake it up and let it roll
Got a good feeling about you let’s see where this goes
Eyes on the prize heart on the wheel
Hope on the gas ace on the deal
With a little love and luck you will be blessed
When you’re searching for your peace and happiness
So shake it up and let it roll
Got a good feeling about you let’s see where this goes
Eyes on the prize heart on the wheel
Hope on the gas ace on the deal
A sense of something better you must possess
When you’re searching for your peace and happiness
Eyes on the prize heart on the wheel
Hope on the gas ace on the deal
When you’re searching for your peace and happiness
Free SpIrIt Love Song
I go where the spirit takes me
Catch my fall it won’t break me
Long is the only road I’ve known
Live the life you’ve been givin’
Make mistakes be forgiven
You’ll be remembered when you’re gone
And I’ve known love and I’ve known pain
I’ve known standing on the mountain top and cryin’ in the rain
And I’ve known high and I’ve known low
Right back in your arms tonight my love is where I wanna go
Down the road and across the valley
There’s a fire that burns within’ me
I’d go when the highway called my name
It took so long to find you
Laying here right beside you
Makes me want to put away this game
And I’ve known love and I’ve known pain
I’ve known standing on the mountain top and cryin’ in the rain
And I’ve known high and I’ve known low
Right back in your arms tonight my love is where I wanna go
Like a lighthouse you see through me
Take a while to break it to me
If you should ever put my love away
Like the frogs in a nighttime forest
Singing to ya that old time chorus
Your love is a song I’ll always sing
And I’ve known love and I’ve known pain
I’ve known standing on the mountain top and cryin’ in the rain
And I’ve known high and I’ve known low
Right back in your arms tonight my love is where I wanna go
I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal
Hey I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow
Till I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now
Lord but I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna learn the best way to walk
Gonna search and find a better way to talk
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self
Till I get rid of every single flaw
I'm gonna be the world's best friend
Gonna go round shaking everybody's hand
I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age
I'm gonna be a diamond some day
Now I'm just an old chunk of coal
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
I'm gonna grow and glow
Till I'm so blue pure perfect
I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
I'm gonna kneel and pray every day
Lest I should become vain along the way
I'm just an old chunk of coal now
Lord but I'm gonna be a diamond some day

FlorIda LIne
When I leave this town the first thing I’ll do
Quit that damn job and get a brand new tattoo
Take all the money out of the bank
Write down the words of a new song to sing
It’s high time
To be movin’ out movin’ on, on with my life
It’s high time
To cross that Saint Mary’s and see the Florida line
I took all your liquor it poured down the sink
So good that I stopped and had me a drink
Stopped by the pawn shop ain’t much you can do
With a ten dollar banjo and old worn out boots
It’s high time
To be movin’ out movin’ on, on with my life
It’s high time
To cross that Saint Mary’s and see the Florida line
Wrong all along sad but it’s true
You find out the songs ain’t about you
I’m movin’ on new things to say
You’ve always been selfish that way
When I leave this town the last thing I’ll do
Is throw out the ball and chain of fools
Take all the trash out to the curb
Start living the kind of life I deserve
It’s high time
To be movin’ out movin’ on, on with my life
It’s high time
To cross that Saint Mary’s and see
It’s high time
To be movin’ out movin’ on, on with my life
It’s high time
To cross that Saint Mary’s and see the Florida line
