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

Go ahead and pull that plug
Dont wanna be here no mo
Go ahead and pull that plug
Dont wanna be here no mo
You all know I love you
But please turn off my life support

Im livin and breathin
But im as good as dead
Im livin and breathin
But im as good as dead
Cant move or do nothin
But dream inside my head

You can have all my money
When I go to heaven
You can have all my money
When i go to heaven
I cant take it with me
You can have all my posessions

Pull That Plug

She throws on her scrubs
Skips the makeup
Workin the night shift in ER
Gets in her car
The hospital aint too far
But sits there for a moment and starts to cry

Shes had so many bad days
Cant seem to find a break
Workin herself crazy
She was never home
And her husband felt alone
So he found another woman and was gone

Her newborn baby boy
Barely knows her face
He's always stayin at his aunties place
Shes trying so hard, to balance her life
Shes a tired, momma nurse, tryin to survive

Shes tried to date around,
But aint had no luck
Her schedule is so crazy
And is rare to have spare time with a baby
And its hard to find a man, that truly cares
especially with a child thats not theirs

She goes to work each night
And fakes up a smile
Its the only place where she can find some peace
taken care of others, and watchin them recover
Pleasant distractions that set her mind free

Tryin To Survive

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

I used to treat women so bad
I'd use em for my own selfish gain
Then my dad sat me down and said "son hear my words
Pay attention to what I'm gonna say"

Leave a good girl alone, don't try an take em home
Don't try an get em drunk, don't try and get em stoned
Good girls deserve good guys
That won't break their hearts or tell em lies
Unless you want to make her your own
Leave a good girl alone

I settled down and found a woman of my own
She gave me 3 kids and a happy hone
But my oldest Boy is startin to make
His daddy's old mistakes
So I sat em down, and this is what I said

Leave a good girl alone, don't try an take em home
Don't try an get em drunk, don't try and get em stoned
Good girls deserve good guys
That won't break their hearts or tell em lies
Unless you want to make her your own
Leave a good girl alone

Got a letter just today
It said, "Dad save the date,
I want you there to see when I marry my good girl."

Leave A Good Girl Alone

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
