Early Morning Kiss

EARLY MORNING KISS
The smell of fresh hay at dawn, and chickens on the run
Eggs and bacon on the grill, and our little house perched on a hill
It doesn't get any better than this
Except for her early morning kiss
I've been mending fences all day long, burnin' in the hot summer sun
Workin' outside in the air, for our life together that we share
It doesn't get any better than this
Except for her early morning kiss
I've kissed her eatin' dinner, embraced her after supper
I've held her during sunset, and loved her by the moon
I've kissed her late at night, and it felt so right
But I'd never miss...her early morning kiss
The purple haze of sunset, and rainclouds in the sky
Barbeque is on the grill, my Rodeo Queen's waitin' on that hill
It doesn't get any better than this
Except for her early morning kiss
I've kissed her eatin' dinner, embraced her after supper
I've held her during sunset, and loved her by the moon
I've kissed her late at night, and it felt so right
But I'd never miss...her early morning kiss
The smell of fresh hay at dawn, and chickens on the run
Eggs and bacon on the grill, and our little house perched on that hill
It doesn't get any better than this
Except for her early morning kiss
Except for her early morning kiss
I really need her early morning kiss

THE BEST ONE OF ALL
A misty morning sunrise
And he's loadin' fishing gear
He's wearing my hat as he talks beyond his years
And I know how blessed I am
How lucky I am
Been lookin' forward to this day
Looks like it might rain
But we're goin' anyway, better get on down the lane
Just my son and me
Yeah my boy and me
Of all the jobs that I've had
And positions that I've held
A Policeman and a Soldier, A Truck Driver and A Singer
A Lover, a fighter, a man of the world
The best one of all is Daddy
Sunshine upon the water
Reflects the peace we share
We're talkin' bout baseball and a girl with yellow hair
And he says how proud he is
To be my little boy
Of all the jobs that I've had
And positions that I've held
A Policeman, A Soldier, A Truck Driver and A Singer
A Lover, A fighter, A man of the world
The best one of all is Daddy

KISS AN ANGEL GOOD MORNING
Whenever I chance to meet some old friends on the street,
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smilin' face, anytime and any place.
And every time they ask me: "Why?" I just smile and say:
You've got to kiss an angel good morning,
Let her know you think about her when you're gone.
Kiss an angel good morning,
Love her like the devil when you get back home.
People may try to guess, the secret our happiness.
Some of them never learn, and it's a simple thing.
The secret I was speakin' of is a woman and a man in love.
The answer is in this song that I always sing.
You've got to kiss an angel good morning,
Let her know you think about her when you're gone.
Kiss an angel good morning,
Love her like the devil when you get back home.
Kiss an angel good morning,
Let her know you think about her when you're gone.
Kiss an angel good morning,
Love her like the devil when you get back home.

DANCE UPON YOUR GRAVE
It's raining in my house and we're starting to shake
How much more of this stuff can I take?
The power don't work but you said that it's on
I'm tired of screaming "Get down here Big John!"
Thirteen leaks today what more can go wrong?
The sink broke yesterday the pipe you brought is too long
Screen door's broken 'cause a dog kicked it in
The front door's hanging on one rusty old hinge
The toilet don't work it's backin' up in the sink
There's Fungus on the wall it's begining to stink
Inspector came to call I told her everything I could
Her foot went thru the floor, you're going down Mr. Wood
I've seen you lie just to try a penny you could save
What goes around comes around It goes round and round
When you die no one'll cry I'll dance upon your grave
What goes around comes around It goes round and round
You said a "Walk Thru" would protect my rights
Next time we meet, man there's gonna' be a fight!
You lied, and you cheated and you kept my cash
I really do think that I should stomp your(well you know!)
Run but you can't hide one day you're gonna' feel it inside
You're a poor excuse for a man
You had the nerve to try and shake my hand
I've seen you lie just to try a penny you could save
What goes around comes around It goes round and round
When you die no one'll cry I'll dance upon your grave
What goes around comes around It goes round and round

Why Don't You Love Me

Well, why don’t you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hair’s still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Ain’t had no lovin’ like a huggin’ and a kissin’
In a long, long while
We don’t get nearer or further or closer
Than a country mile
Why don’t you spark me like you used to do?
And say sweet nothin’s like you used to coo?
I’m the same old trouble that you’ve always been through
So, why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Well, why don’t you be just like you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me?
Somebody’s changed so let me give you a clue
Why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Ain’t had no lovin’ like a huggin’ and a kissin’
In a long, long while
We don’t get nearer or further closer than
Than a country mile
Why don’t you say the things you used to say?
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay?
My hair’s still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don’t you love me like you used to do?
Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Sink The Bismarck

SINK THE BISMARCK
In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the seas
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
And every British seaman, he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta' sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the deck a-runnin boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta' cut her down
The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away
"We gotta' sink the Bismarck!" was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people "Put every ship a-sail
'cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta' be
We gotta' sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea!"
We'll find that German battleship thats makin' such a fuss
We gotta' sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the deck a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down
The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the mornin' sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run
The admiral of the British fleet said "Turn those bows around
we found that German battleship we're gonna' cut her down!"
The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast
The first shell hit the Bismark, they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
"Sink the Bismarck!" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around(yeah!)
Yeah, we found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
We found that German battleship was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
We found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down

OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY
If you leave me
I won't miss you
And I won't ever take you back
Girl your memory
Won't ever haunt me
'Cause I don't love you
Now if you'll buy that
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
And if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free
I don't worship
The ground you walk on
I never have and that's a fact
I won't follow or try to find you
'Cause I don't love you
Now if you'll buy that
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
And if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I've got some ocean front property in Arizona
And if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free
And if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free

PARKER ARIZONA
Parker Arizona
That old town's always the same
I've got a new persona
But that old place will never change
Even though I'd moved away
Even though I'd seen the world
She called be back to her
Why? Oh why can't I forget that town?
Desert heat burnin' like a flame
Everyday it can stay the same
She'll pull you back to her
Try! Oh try you can't forget that town!
Parker Arizona
My hometown's always the same
I can't wait to see her
'cause that old place will never change
Every night you can count the stars
Every night you can take a swim
Near Palo Verde Trees
In that old Blue Green Colorado River
Pretty girl sittin' on a dock
Summer rain fallin' on the rocks
She calls you back to her
Try! Oh try you can't forget that town!
Parker Arizona
My hometown's always the same
I can't wait to see her
'cause that old place will never change
Parker Arizona
My hometown's always the same
I can't wait to see her
'cause that old place will never change
Parker Arizona
My hometown's always the same
I can't wait to see her
'cause that old place will never change

CRAZY ARMS
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And a storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream, I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps sayin' you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
So please take the treasured dreams
I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonesome I could cry
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps sayin' you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps sayin' you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
