Things I Like To Do		Martin Dean

VS1
A country road in a truck with the windows down,
drivin' real slow through a cute little town,
Talkin' while standing in line for a little twist cone.
Meeting some friends by the creek in the woods,
take a little boat where the fishin' is good,
listen to some country music while I'm drivin' you home.
CH
Things I like to do, somethin' I never outgrew,
I'll take the good and the bad as long as I can take it with you.
A couple three beers on a Saturday night, cuddle on the porch in the full moon light,
These are just a few of the things I like to do.
VS2
I like hunting in and out of those little gift shops, 
getting caught in the rain and just laughing it off,
walking city park get a funnel cake we like.
Our favorite coffee shop sippin' a cup of Joe,
a bowl of popcorn and a Hallmark show,
I love being with you, I could stay up all night.

Things I like to do, somethin' I never outgrew,

Sometimes in life whether we like it or not
Things don't always work out the way that we thought.
It makes us hold on to each other, with everything that we got!

Everybody Counts In A Small Town

SLOWED DOWN IN A SMALL TOWN
Writers: Carey Latham/Rick Amburgey

V1
Only one red light but it’s got me
Sippin’ on my coffee, with my window rolled down
Checkin’ out the scene, waitin’ on green
Listenin’ to how quiet sounds

CH
Watchin’ a sweet gum tree changing colors right before me
An old man readin' the paper on his porch and
Wavin’ at an “Andy Griffith” out makin morning rounds
Smellin’ a big ole brisket cookin’ in a smoker
The stars and stripes flyin over the old courthouse
Wishin’ I could stay all day 
Slowed down in a small town

V2
One lane turns to four and I’m back in the city
Where being clocked in means I'm missin' out
Cause all I’m thinkin’ ‘bout is that little Mayberry
And cruisin’ behind a farmer brown 

CH
Watchin a sweet gum tree changing colors right before me
An old man readin' the paper on his porch and
Wavin’ at an “Andy Griffith” out makin morning rounds
Smellin’ a big ole brisket cookin’ in a smoker
The stars and stripes flyin over the old courthouse
Wishin’ I could stay all day 
Slowed down in a small town

Bridge
That 25 mile an hour speed limit
Used to just make me think about a ticket
Now that sign’s 
Got me thinkin’ 'bout life

CH
And watchin' a sweet gum tree changing colors right before me
An old man readin' the paper on his porch and
Wavin’ at an “Andy Griffith” out makin morning rounds
Smellin’ a big ole brisket cookin’ in a smoker
The stars and stripes flyin (high) over the old courthouse
Spendin’ the rest of my days
Slowed down in a small town

Tag
Oh, Ain’t nothin like gettin’ slowed down in a small town

Potholes (worktape)

V1
I was driving down a one-lane road
on the straight and narrow
The devil put a pothole in my path
Got a flat, without a spare
Oh, aint it funny how you got your plans figured out
You lay ’em down like the law
Don’t see it coming when you’re stopped in your tracks
No turning back the way you came from

Chorus
Put on a song, start walking
No stopping, just keep moving along
Take the next right step
and the rest of the way don’t feel so wrong
Cus the long way is the only road
that gets you home

V2
Walking in the dark with a broken heart
Don’t know where or who I am
Am I lost? Is this too far gone
to find myself again?
But a voice spoke and said “You might not know
where you are, but don’t worry, I see.
It might not feel like it yet,
but you’re headed right where you’re supposed to be. So,”

Chorus

Bridge
Everything that was made to stop me
Became the change in my way that got me here
Thank God, for potholes in my road
x2
Cus I,

LYRIC: Save Me 

I don't know how I could forget, I knew that you're the best a man can get
and here i am at the end of my rope, tellin myself, boy you've been a dope
I'm standin here, I'm just standin here, at the tip of the ledge, right on the edge
baby, just try to understand, im your man, reach out your hand and... 

Save me......... o
Save me... 
dont let us just fade away
save me
you've done it before, don't shut the door 
just save me.. 

 I've made some mistakes before, yeah that's for sure, but when I'm with you I feel
like there's someone there to catch me, there's something for us that's real
you get me through the curves, help me throttle down, without you around
it just aint the same, and I can't say I'm ashamed, when I ask you, to.... 

Save me.......... 
Save me... 
dont let us just fade away
save me
you've done it before, don't shut the door
just save meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... 

(come on baby)
Save me........ 
Save me... 
dont let us just fade away
save me
you've done it before, don't shut the door 
save meee....

 Lyric /Vocal - Phil Hodge (ASCAP)

Save Me

We ALL have something going on. Something folks can't see on the outside. This song is for everyone that has those hidden SCARS for whatever reason. 

SCARS

He takes what’s left of his will and a handful of pills
and tries to turn the page
today’s big event, is to make a grocery list 
and find a parking space

He gets those funny looks, steppin’ out of the truck                        
as if he's doing something wrong           
runnin' in for bread and milk, draggin’ a bag of shame and guilt            
makin’ sure he doesn't linger too long       

pre
little blue placard on the mirror             
becomes his calling card                       
they see arms and legs and whisper      
but they can't see
the SCARS                                                

chorus
underneath his clothes
the daily pain and struggle, none of us could know
the missing parts, a broken heart
oh, he'll never show
the SCARS

can’t really say why, hasn’t slept through the night 
in nearly twenty years 
a solitary soldier, long after it’s over 
the battle rages on between his ears

pre 
chorus

bridge
a different kind of warrior 
a different kind of war
he can't even remember what he was fighting for

they see arms and legs and whisper …
but they can’t see the scars

Sad Ole Country Song
Mark Lambert, Ronnie Jackson and Ron Day

V1.....
When you're all beat up and ya need a little healing
You can't find the words to say what you're feeling
You can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song
	
Well, your heart's been broken 
And your dream's been shattered
And you can't find your way to the top of the ladder
You can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

Chorus.....
When you're so lonesome, you could cry
You need a misty-eyed, Whiskey-fied Lullaby 
Some Strawberry Wine to help things along

Well, your Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain, they say
When the Cowboy Saddles Up and Rides Away
You just can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

V2.....
Well, you're down to the last few flickers of your candle
Cause your life's like a prime-time TV scandal
You can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

Your knees are worn thin from the world on your shoulders 
You want to be a kid again but you keep getting older
You can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

Chorus.....

You just can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

You just can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

Chorus

You just can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

No, you just can't go wrong with a Sad Ole Country Song

Refrain.....  Out.....
