If my old truck was a horse I'd have to shoot it Lord the day my ship came in I was waiting for a train Everytime I get a grip, I always lose it I can't find the sunshine for the rain And you know I'm always saying I'm sorry But you stand by me through it all Seems everytime I make my mark Somebody paints the wall Everytime I think I'm off and runnin I'm barely up to a crawl Everytime I get a leg up on the ladder of success I slip and fall Like last week down at the factory I was up for a promotion But the boss says little brother got the call Seems everytime I make my mark Somebody paints the wall Everytime I think I'm off and runnin I'm barely up to a crawl Everytime I get a leg up On the ladder of success, I slip and fall Like last week down at the factory I was up for a promotion But the boss says little brother got the call Seems like everytime I make my mark Somebody paints the wall Seems everytime I make my mark Somebody always paints the wall
He grew up in the sunset The wind at his back He longed to remember Somethings in our past We're both over 30, but still seventeen Just trying to hold on to some old high school dreamChorus Well therey've been women and lovers Lots of miles in between There've been barrooms,and bedrooms And lots of nights with Jim Beam Been tequila sunrises, times which I wish I'd never seen But it's hard to act 30 when your dancin to sweet 17 Now theres 2 wives and 6 kids And miles in between us And no time for us anymore Oh the wild nites and barfights And ditches and blue lights Are a million dark nites from beforeRepeat Chorus no it's hard to act 30 when your dancing to sweet 17

FROZE OVER
She just closed the door And tonite the heartaches begin I've lost the key to heaven And my angel just wont let me in Well I begged and pleaded down on my knees To a heart that has turned as cold as ice She once swore she loved me Till hell froze over Well hell just froze over tonite She said i love you darlin till death do us part And I said i do too darlin with all of my heart Hand and hand together, forever, we'd walk side by side But i took her for granted Took too many chances, until her love for me died She just closed the door And tonite the heartaches begin I've lost the key to heaven And my angel just won't let me in Well i begged and pleaded down on my knees To a heart that has turned cold as ice She once swore she loved me till hell froze over Well hell just froze over tonite She once swore she loved me till hell froze over Well hell just froze over tonite
Sometimes our loves an open door And we know its safe inside But we have slammed it shut before And locked our hearts outside But we get a handle on it When we let go of our prideChorus Sometimes we put words and walls between us Lose our heads and gamble with our hearts There've been trials and tears,doubts and fears Between us But when all things pass It's love that'll last between us Love has taught us to forgive And time helps us forget Still as long as we both live We'll say some things we regret But love keeps a workin on us Aw cause we ain't perfect yetRepeat Chorus There've been trials and tears Doubts and fears between us But when all things pass It's love that'll last between us
Theres no way i could ever leave her I'm addicted to her love can't break the tie A victim of my own need and to far to ever be free Everything she does I somehow justify
Chorus I'm aprils fool I play by her rules She treats me any old way she wants to Just as sure as clouds bring showers And springtime brings May flowers And a mountain breeze blows cool I'm aprils foolMany times i've tried to live without her Like a frightened runaway child, I always return To the games she loves to play Where she always gets her way Although it hurts I never seem to learn
Repeat Chorus Just as sure as clouds bring showers And springtime brings May flowers And a mountain breeze blows cool I'm aprils fool Aprils fool
I was raised in a Christian home On Bible readin gospel songs Church doors opened up you'd see my face Sundays twice, Weds too, I'd take my seat on the front row pew, Singing Rock of Ages and Amazing Grace Preacher said heavens the place to go With pearly gates and streets of gold I guess for the preacher thats alright But I hope heavens another story With a good ole boy bound for glory A little bit like of texas on a saturday nite
Chorus And I hope heaven has a honky tonk With a 5 pc band, Cowboy boots,and bluejeans are part of the master plan And I hope Hanks on the juke box, Bob Wills has a fiddle in his hand And I hope heaven has a honky tonk with a 5 piece bandI hope those hardwood floors are just like glass The girls I ask wanna dance And each and every waitress is divine I hope that mean old bouncers got a big halo Those neon lights will always glow They ain't never heard of closing time
Repeat Chorus|Repeat Chorus I hope heaven has a honky tonk with a 5 pc band
