The Good Life I Have
The good life I have
Some people in this town talk about me
But I don’t care a thing what they say
They’re just some ordinary people
Who wonder how I came living this way
They can’t understand why I go hoppin´with a band
Riding across the country in a little van
Driving up and down the dusty highways
Looking like I never had a plan
But if you bug me about that, get a little upset that’s just sad
Should a rebel expect expenses like that
This ain´t no ordinary life, but I kind of like it somehow
You say to your self: she must be a little mad
But that’s how I got the good life I have
The ordinary life ain´t nothing for me
I cant help that I was born and raised to roam
I got the music soul from my mammy
And my father gave me that “traveling bone”
High for the p.t
I woke up this morning and the sun was pouring in
Thorough an open window of mine, and I couldn’t help but sing
Singing high for the Pine trees, high for the birds
The sound of an engine taking me home is the sweetest sound I’ve heard
Singing high for the Pine trees, high for the birds
The sound of an engine taking me home is the sweetest sound I’ve heard
A king might have a castle, a big diamond on his hand
Servants to fallow where ever he goes but I wouldn’t want to trade with him
Cuz today I got a letter, with a one way ticket to go
Coming all the way from home sweet home, saying they miss me so
Hey Howdy ho, conductor, ain´t you got no more speed
Wanna roll down the track without looking back, with fire ´neath the wheel
Cuz today I got a letter, and a one way ticket to go
Coming all the way from home sweet home, saying what I need to know
A reminder of you
Last night I had to spend at a holiday in
Stayed the night all alone, in a town I never seen
I was staring at the sealing with the television on
Saw a movie I’ve seen twice, that used to be fun
But I’m low on the highway tonight
The radio’s playing an old lullaby
A reminder of you with a heartbreaking choir
I’m low on the highway tonight
And I might have gone and hurt you and it might be over now
Might have took it all too far, to go back and make it right
And in spite of the rain I drive a little too fast
I might get caught, I might get killed, Or just die from the fact
Chorus
Goodbye city
Thought I’d never see the day I pack my bags and leave L. A
But I admit I’ve gone astray and I am going home
Now I’ve done the bars, I walked the lanes but something’s just don’t ever change
S0 farewell and a big thanks, but I am moving on
Goodbye city hello country I’m coming home
The town wasn’t half of all I’ve heard
Goodbye city hello country I’m coming home
The city life don’t suit a country girl
Now there’s things that I don’t understand I tried to love a city man
But he was more wild than he was tame so I just said: so long
I long to sit out in the sun in a rocking chair and write a song
Ma was right and I was wrong, I’m a cowgirl, to the bone
A world of out own (featuring Johan Blohm)
Have faith in me baby, I will leave you never
Baby, our love will last forever
I know we’re doing nothing wrong
So lets build a world of our own
Have faith in me baby, let them laugh about us
Baby, how should they know what happened to us
I know its here that I belong
So lets build a world of our own
Hold me, for I love you
What can they take away from us
What do they know anyway
They say we don’t know much better, but their wrong
That we don’t belong together but their wrong
So let’s build a world of our own
Hold me, for I love you
What can they take away from us
What do they know anyway
Have faith in me baby, I will leave you never
Baby, our love will last forever
I know we’re doing nothing wrong
So lets build a world of our own
I know were doing nothing wrong
So lets build a world of our own
Our love is true
Now that I have found you never gonna let you go
Gonna wear this ring cuz I want it to show
Gonna wear this ring cuz I want them to know
Our love is true
We go together like a hand and a glove
We go together everyway I’m thinking of
Gonna be together till´´´´´´´ the day we grow old
Our love is true
How could it be tiring to wait a little while
How could it be tireing to be your little wife
The more I get to know you the more I realize
I could love you baby, for a life
Now that I have found you gonna stay right here with you
Now that I have found a love so good ´n rare and true
Gonna wear this ring and I will say I do
Our love is true
A millionaire of the simple things
The cost of living, is death
There will come a time when you draw your final breath
When the man calls, you’ll find
You would have wanted more, but now your out of time
So bless me with the joy in the little
And I’ll be rich for a long time
I’d be a millionaire of the simple things
With less to leave behind
The sad with riches is greed
when you got so many things that you don’t know what you need
And love’s to easy, its plain to see
We underestimate something just because its free
The chase
The note is there up on the kitchen table
Saying she is gone and gone for good
For´ the life you promised dear Is not what I have here
And there’s still so much in life I’d like to taste
So now she is a part of all the chase
A old man is sitting by his window
With all the wisdom of a man that’s showing age
But now who has got the time to lay a minute down
And listen to what he has go to say
When we all are being busy by “the chase”
The happiness you look for might be right just where you stand
Where ever there’s a little love that’s where she’s moving in
But if you try to luck her up she runs away
And you become a part of all the chase
Now if you wanna listen to my story
Or maybe you ain´t got the time today
Cuz you’re running round with tomorrow on your mind
Missing a lot of good things on the way
Cuz you are being busy by the chase
Grandaddyo
I was born on my grand daddy’s ground
I walked the same path, that he’s done
And when I was a kid sitting on my grand ma´s knee
She told me all the stories of my grand daddy
She said: that man was an odd work of art
Said he was a rambler, with an angels heart
couldn’t tame him if you tried, but lord he was good to me
He was a wild seed, god bless his memory
And the older I get the more it comes to show
I got a lot in common with my old grand daddy´o
The apple don’t fall to far from the tree
Lordy, help grand daddy, lord help me
Now there some folks, you don’t put in a line
Who never seen to fit in, in their own time
Who give it all up, lordy just to be free
Lordy, like grand daddy, lord like me
How keith calloway died (Riverbanks)
I’ve heard this tail since I was a child
How two great men fell and lost their lives
Beneath the riverbanks where lovers go to hide
Where Frankie & Keith Calloway died
The young men swore friendship for all times
But that was ´fore the war, for grand ma´ came to town
She was the sweetest thing, lead many men astray
Both Frankie & Keith Calloway
Riverbanks, where lovers go to hide
Riverbanks, you’ve taken two lives
Beneath the riverbanks where lovers go to hide
There’s a little sank where the grass grows high
If you’re ever going there, to hide out in the green
Better make sure you can’t be seen
Cuz when the sun sank one night in 58
Grandma went to the riverbanks to meet with Calloway
When Frankie found out he shot his brother to the ground
Then he shot him self one time
Riverbanks, where lovers go to hide
Riverbanks, you’ve taken two lives
Riverbanks your reputation died
Riverbanks, can you hear the lonely wind sigh
King for a day
He walks into the room, the man that I admire
Never seen him look so tired, as now
And he says: now ma´s at peace and I held her close to my chest
Til´ her very last breath, it was a fine goodbye
And in the long run just how many man can say
I was king for a day and I had a crown
In the long run, for a moment I had everything
And that’s what makes life worth living
In the long run
I couldn’t sleep at all that night lying listening to him crying
Knowing time would ease his pain, in the long run
But my father taught me this: to hold on to and cherish
Every happy moment there is with this rhyme
Good times to come (featuring Johan Blohm)
Were taking the bad with the good
Taking all of the lows with the highs
Were tagging along just like we should
Knowing its part of our lives
We watch dreams fall apart and come true
Watching things turn out better than we thought
We watch rainy dark skies turn in to blue
Living it all from the heart
Always counting on the good times to come
Through teardrops and laughter we’ll be hanging on
When nothing is right, it still cant go wrong
Cuz were counting on the good times to come
Baby you and me we’ve seen it all
There ain´t nothing that we ain´t been through
When the going gets tuff we still can recall
What a ray of hope can do
Highway 65
When I was a young girl my mama said to me
There will come a time when you decide how your life’s gonna be
I can tell up on your face you got a ramblers urge to go
But before you set out on the road there’s one thing you must know
Upon highway 65 running north, running north
Try and find the man that you never got to know
Go to every city and tell them for us both
That your looking for the man that you never got to know
So I became a traveler, I been up and I been down
I been to every city and I been to every town
Carrying this picture that has aged with time
Looking for the man with eyes as green as mine
Upon highway 65 running north, running north
I’m trying to find the man that I never got to know
I been to every city, told everyone I saw
That I had to find the man that I never got to know
Than I came to Indiana, and that was in the spring
And one night in Union town I spited an old man
He was standing in the street stopping people who walked by
And what I heard him say brought tears to my eye
Upon highway 65 running north, running north
I’m trying to find the little girl I never got to know
I been to every city asked everyone I saw
If they’d ever seen the little girl I never got to know
Upon highway 65 running north, running north
I’m trying to find the little girl I never got to know
I been to every city told everyone I saw
That I had to find the little girl I never got to know
Who put the good in goodbye
One look in the mirror, I can tell that something’s wrong
The face I’m looking at is a face I never known
With a world upon my shoulder, I just cry, baby cry
I’d like to know what fool who put the good in goodbye
Still it ain´t no secret how love can hurt you so
And maybe that is why they put a hell in hello
Cuz since I met you baby I just feel like I could die
So I’d like to know what fool who put the good in goodbye
Cuz good is not the way I feel since you spelled out the word
Loneliness is killing me and my question goes un heard
I guess you wished me well but I just feel like I could die
So I’d like to know what fool who put the good in goodbye
Big brother
Billy you like the nightlife but I don’t
Think I’ll get used to the big city but I wont
So I’m staying here while you’re moving on
If someone’s gonna make it you’re the one
Billy you and I were raised here on the farm
Started a band and rehearsed out in the barn
But your tired now of singing to the cow
And you deserve a better bigger crowd
And you got what it takes to hit the big time
Someday your name will be in the headlines
But if you ever get tired of that kind of life
Common down and see me here in White House, Tennessee
Billy they say that you’re a fool, I think your brave
And I know that I’ll be proud of you someday
Cuz I believe in you no matter what you do
So go on, take the chances you must take
First kiss
Now that time is gone
Now that were apart
This memory lingers on forever in my heart
Springtime, first may
Birdsong that day
My first love and our first kiss
You would hold my hand
I would fallow you
We both would understand
This miracle all new
Springtime, first may
Birdsong that day
My first love and our first kiss
