Well if you think it's fine to abort a baby, you're wrong
That it's your right cause it's not alive, you're wrong
Babies are meant to be loved and nurtured
Not for you to just carelessly murder
I hope I'm not comin off to strong, but you're wrong

Well if you think it's fine for men to be with men, you're wrong
And it's not a sin to be a lesbian, you're wrong
They may have legalized it all across this nation
But in the Lord's eyes it's an abomination
I hope I'm not comin off too strong, but you're wrong

Well if you're a boy and think that you're a girl, you're wrong
You can cry and moan and put on women's clothes, but you're wrong
In the beginning God made them, Adam and Eve
There's only two genders and nothing in between
I hope I'm not comin off too strong, but you're wrong

Well if you don't believe in Christianity, you're wrong
If you think you will escape the fires of hell, you're wrong
You're gonna cry and weep and gnash your teeth
With the devil and his angels for all eternity
I hope I'm not comin off too strong, but you're wrong

You're Wrong

I wanna be the one to make you smile
I wanna be the one to hold your lovely hand
I wanna be the one to comfort you when the worlds breakin your heart
I wanna be the one you love and trust in

I wanna be the one to make you laugh
I wanna be the one to give you what you need
I wanna be the one that gets to go through life with you
I wanna be the one to make you feel free

Youre the one I want, youre the one I need
And Lord knows I'm gonna try to make you mine, 
For all my days, till the end of time, please be mine

I Wanna Be The One

I did it again, I did it again
Threw all my self control to the wind
I did it again

And hear I go, down this crooked road
I know ever bump and curve for miles
No time to think, no time to turn
Gonna rumble down this road till I crash and burn

Oh man hear you go again bein a fool of a man
You ain't tired of doin these same old things?
Look at you, you can't even stand up straight
I think it's time for you to go to bed

Don't try to stop me, don't waste your words
My heads up in the clouds, and I ain't comin down
Don't waste your words

Crash And Burn

From each one I learned so much,
About carin, heartache, and love

All you lovely ladies
That stole my heart for a time
Gave me reason to smile
And made simple livin fine
There was no greater joy
Then to call you mine
I care for you still,
Though we said goodbye

Fond memories fill my heart
Of gentle affection
Though it is a shame
We lost our direction
Could we have been saved?
Through simple correction?
Too late to know
New days beckon

I pray the best for each
That they find lovin arms
Men that make them laugh
And possess a tender charm
That lead them with kindness
And keep them safe from harm

Carin, Heartache, And Love

Please don't go in there
Save yourself the pain
Two young girls
By their father were slain
He even kill their grandma
What a cryin shame

His woman had left him
And it made him fall
He took up a hatchet
And killed them all
Wait what's this
We're getting another call

Arrive on the scene 
A suicide
He walked out on the highway
Hit by a semi
It's the same man
That took those girls lives

Sad Story

Oh Lord I hear that whistle blowin
There's something evil comin around the bend
Oh Lord I hear that whistle blowin
There's something evil comin around the bend
No train has been on these tracks since 1910

Lord have mercy
There's a pale blue light comin my way
Lord have mercy
There's a pale blue light comin my way
I gotta get outta here
Or somethin bads gonna happen if I stay

I can see the engine now
All black and blowin smoke
I can see the engine now
All black and blowin smoke
Comin to take my soul
Way down below

Lord I'm sorry
For the way I've been livin my life
Lord I'm sorry
For the way I've been livin my life
I can't do it on my own
Please give me another chance to do right

Ghost Train Blues

Workin for another man for a measley wage
Doin the same thing each and every day
Oh I'd rather die, I'd rather die, Lord put me in the ground

Livin with a woman that's always tearin ya down
She's stayin out late and sneakin all around town
Oh I'd rather die, I'd rather die, Lord put me in the ground

Strugglin with sin and evil ways
Tryin to be holy but I'm too depraved
Oh I'd rather die, I'd rather die, Lord put me in the ground

Sellin my soul for the things of this earth
Their pleasure is fleeting and have no eternal worth
Oh I'd rather die, I'd rather die, Lord put me in the ground

I'd Rather Die

Lord please show me how to overcome myself
The wicked things I desire, help me put em on the shelf
Walk away and close the door never to return
Never to return

Lord please help me calm my anxious soul
So fearful of the future, help me give you full control
And trust that you'll lead me to still waters
To still waters

Lord please give me the joy of Your salvation
Help me to quit complainin, and being so impatient
May I find satisfaction in You alone
In You alone

Lord please help me to be faithful on this earth
Don't let me get distracted by pursuits that have no worth
May I serve Your purposes, Your people, and kingdom
Your people and Your kingdom

Lord Please

Hey buddy, Hey buddy
Don't follow in my steps
Always walk that narrow road
And don't put God to the test
March straight ahead and don't stop to ramble
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus on this lonesome road you travel

Hey buddy, Hey Buddy, 
Listen to dad and mom
Cause they were always right
And I was always wrong
Save yourself and them some heartache
Heed their advice and the choices you make

Hey buddy, Hey Buddy
Life is like a pond
You'll put ripples on the surface
With your choices, right or wrong
Some effects are short-lived, and some are life long
I wanna save you the pain, so I wrote you this song

Hey Buddy

When she says my music's too loud
Or she's tired of me always goin out
I better change or she won't be here anymore
Well I just smile and wave
There ain't nothin wrong with how I behave
I thought you know what you signed up for
Baby there's the door

I'm a string bendin son of a gun
And I love havin me some fun
I could stay out all night singin and playin guitar
But when I leave she calls my phone
Naggin me to come back home
I thought you knew what you signed up for 
Baby there's the door

Well I ain't changing for some young maiden
That all she does is bring me down
I'm gonna cut it off and count it as a loss
And find a new girl in the next town

Honey baby I'm a good man
And you should love me as I am
All my love and faithfulness you seem to ignore
You're drawin a line in the sand
But I'm tired of all your demands
I thought you knew what you signed up for
Baby there's the door

Well I ain't changing for some young maiden
That all she does is bring me down
I'm gonna cut it off and count it as a loss
And find a new girl in the next town

Well I'm gonna miss you so
And I really hate to see you go
You are my boo, my girl, who I adore
But I sure ain't gonna fold
To try and fit in your mold
You should have known what you signed up for
Baby there's the door

You should have known what you signed up for
Baby there's the door

Theres The Door

The wife and I had got in a fight, and I was kicked out for the night
So I sat at the bar fumin mad
Then a short man walked in, a young Mexican
Wearin a three piece suit and a black cowboy hat

He ordered a Pacifico, and I said, "Hey amigo,
How bout you order a real beer, or go back to where you came."
I know it wasn't right, but I was drunk and wantin to fight
But he just smiled and asked me my name

I said, "I aint tellin you nothin," and to prove I wasn't bluffin
I walked over and knocked the bottle out his hand
It spilled all down his suit, I waited to see what he'd do
But he smiled, shook his head, and walked out the back

I followed him outside still lookin for a fight
and said "hey Pancho why you runnin away scared"
But faster than a mamba strike, he hit me with a pretty hard right
And I keeled over gaspin for air

He pulled out a revolver, and poured the bullets in his hand
and said, "Amigo, do you believe in heaven or hell?
Well you might find out tonight, what's on the other side
For messin with a member of the Cartel

He said my cylinder holds 5, but I'm gonna put in 3
For everything that you've done to me
One for spilling my beer, one for ruining my suit
and one more for bein racist and mean

He put the bullets in, gave the cylinder a spin
Ad I still lay writhing on the ground
He pulled the hammer back, I waited for the blast
And I thought of my wife and kids back in town

He pulled the trigger, click. I couldn't help but flinch
He grinned and said, "Todays your lucky day
I let the Lord decide, and He wants to spare your life
And I hope that you'll go and change your ways."

He got inside his car, drove away from the bar
And I used a payphone to call a cab
Now I don't pick no fights, ever since that scary night,
With the cartel member in the black cowboy hat.

Black Cowboy Hat

We labor and strive, prayin that we'll find
Someone that we can love and hold
But my love lifes a mess, a trainwreck at best
And I'm always left feelin cold

What am I doin wrong?
Why am I always left singin this sad song?
For a woman I yearn, but I always get burned
I guess love and I don't get along

I plead and I pray, askin everyday
For a lady that will be my wife
The girls pay me no mind, and I'm cryin every night
Afraid I'll be alone all my life

What am I doin wrong?
Why am I always left singin this sad song?
For a woman I yearn, but I always get burned
I guess love and I don't get along

Love And I Don't Get Along

Darlin there ain't a thing I'd change
Everything about you drives me wild
Your wavy hair, rosy lips, ocean eyes, and curvy hips
Everything about you drives me wild

Can't picture my life with no one else
No other girl has made me feel this way I felt
Holdin you in my arms your head upon my chest
Baby I'm so blessed

How pretty you are my darlin angel
A lily among all the thorns
Not a day goes by, that I'm not the luckiest guy
In the whole wide world

Can't picture my life with no one else
No other girl has made me feel this way I felt
Holdin you in my arms your head upon my chest
Baby I'm so blessed

Music playing soft in the background
Candles burnin low, castin shadows all around
You and I together, letting the world pass us by
Baby I'm so happy you are mine

Can't picture my life with no one else
No other girl has made me feel this way I felt
Holdin you in my arms your head upon my chest
Baby I'm so blessed

Baby I'm So Blessed

I'm done bein bad, take back the fun I had
Cause all the high times they don't last
Startin today, I'm gonna change my ways
I'm givin it all up to start growin up

All the lessons I have learned, All the pain I felt
All the bridges I burned, All the damage I dealt

I'm done bein bad, take back the fun I had
Cause all the high times they don't last
Startin today, I'm gonna change my ways
I'm givin it all up to start growin up
I'm givin it all up to start growin up
