I Miss Your Dog
David L. Graham/Vaughan Ray Daniel


 Lord knows you broke my heart into
 for awhile I didn't know what to do
 Then  I realized  you weren't coming back
 It was hard for me to finally face the fact

Chorus:
   Ever since you've  been gone
    Something has been so wrong
   Like my brain has gotten  lost in a fog
   We were the best of friends
    I  didn't want to see it end
    I can no longer pretend...
    Girl, I miss...Girl, I miss...Girl, I miss...
   I miss your dog 


You  left us alone much too often
Long nights of he and I  just talkin'
In fact we spent so much time together
I had him fetchin'  beers for me, now ain't that clever?

repeat chorus:

bridge:
I went to the pound
To pick a new dog out
That's how desperate I've become
'cause I spent the whole day
Going from cage to cage
But I could not replace the dog I love

repeat chorus:

I Miss Your Dog

Watered Down Beer 
Music - Jeff Walker
Lyrics - David Graham/Vaughan Daniel
 
Hank Williams made it sound good in a song
About cryin' in his beer but he was wrong
Anyone who loves their alcohol
Would never have considered that at all
 
chorus:
There ain't nothing worse than
Watered down beer                                        
I'd just like to make that perfectly clear
She hurt me bad and made me sad
But you won't see no tears
'cause there ain't nothin' worse than
Watered down beer
 
I don't care how bad things may go
My PBR don't need no H2O
You ain't gonna see tears in my eyes
'cause I won't drink and cry at the same time
 
repeat chorus:
 
bridge:
It ain't because I won't miss her love
But since she ain't here…
All I've got is this beer 
And....
 repeat chorus:

Watered Down Beer

Can't Never Could
Lyrics - David Graham/Vaughan Daniel
Music - Jeff Walker


If you want to follow your dreams
You can get started today
If where you are ain't where you want to be
Don't let a word like can't 
Ever once stand in your way

chorus:
Can't never could
And won't never would
Success only comes to those who try
Don't be afraid to fail
Do your best and you'll do well
Grab that golden ring when it comes by
No matter how impossible it looks
Just remember can't never could

You've got to listen to your heart
Go where it tells you to go
Don't you ever stop reaching for the stars
Keep believing you can, 
And you'll have what it takes you know...cause

repeat chorus:

bridge:
Take what you've got coming to you
Chasing after it is all you have to do

repeat chorus:

Can't Never Could

The Longneck Way Down
Lyrics - David Graham/Vaughan Daniel
Music - Jeff Walker

 You've been feeling low
The blues won't let go
Well, you know, drinkin’…
Only makes things worse
When you're hurtin' inside
It's easy to slide
Back to those bad habits…
That always seemed to work
 
chorus:
The longneck way down
You think will make it better
The longneck way down
Might help you forget her
But tomorrow she will be
Right back in your memory
You find out / what heartache's all about
When you give up and take …   
The longneck way down
 
You'll be dealing some
new friends feel like love
Because they'll be buying
Trying just to help you out
You'll be happy outside
Though you're wanting to cry
Ridin' beer after beer
Right into the ground
 
repeat chorus:
 
bridge:
Livin' the party life don't come without dues                          
You'll be lower than a well digger's shoes
Every time you choose...
 
repeat chorus:

The Longneck Way Down

Music: Jeff Walker


G                            D                      G
The bartender's wipin' down the bar
C                                                       G
And putting clean glasses in their places
C                                               G
You don't have to look too hard
A7                                                    D
To know what that smile on his face is

chorus:
C                                  G
Closin' time is closin' in
G                                  Am                         D
Which means you're running out of time
C                                               G
And the odds are gettin’ slim
Am                                                    D
That you'll take someone home tonight
Em                                         C
You may not get this chance again
                          D                 G
'cause closin' time is closin' in

The waitress is screamin' out last call
And the band is ending with a slow dance
Any time you hear 'em play "Sleep Walk"
You'd better find a woman fast...'cause

repeat chorus:

bridge:
Bm                                            C
Maybe she'll come over and ask for a ride
G                                                         D
But I wouldn't count on that right now
Bm                                          C
Ask her if she'll share an Uber tonight
G  (2 bars)                                      D
She can only say yes or no... so don't be so proud
D7
'Cause there ain't no doubt

All My Rowdy Friends Are.. Dead
Lyrics: David L. Graham/Vaughan Ray Daniel
Music: Jeff Walker

I can't help but see
How my life has changed   
I no longer stay out late at night
It's just the wife and me
And we like it that way                                                                                                     
She's the only one who loves me 
and besides

chorus:
All my rowdy friends are…dead
Too much partyin'..some said
Years of smokin' and drinkin’
They didn't live to regret
'cause all my rowdy friends 
are...dead

I used to party
and chase the women 'round
I hit every happy hour at five
I wasn't sorry
When I'd shut the place down
Now I'm just happy to be alive.. cause...

repeat chorus:

bridge:
I still got a hot tub and the 
memories
Me and Arthritis have a long 
history
                                
tag: I deserve some misery...but..

Line In The Water
Lyrics: David L. Graham/Vaughan Daniel
Music: Jeff Walker


Grampa didn't talk a lot 
But when he did he gave it thought 
I suppose you'd say he was wise 
He never seemed to mind at all 
When it came to problems I couldn't solve 
He was always quick to give me his advice

One day when I came home from school 
I said Grandpa I've got a problem for you 
He said boy have a sit and spit it out
 I said, there's a girl I wanna ask to the dance
 And well, Grampa, you know how shy I am
 He said, son, you're just scared she'll shut you down...but it's like this

chorus: 
You've got to have your line in the water 
If you want things to go the way they oughter 
Boy I know this 
If you wanna catch a fish 
You've got to have your line in the water

The next day in English class 
I got up enough courage to ask
 If That girl'd go to the dance with me 
My jaw almost hit the floor 
When she said that's what she was hoping for 
My Grandpa was right as right could be...see

repeat chorus:

bridge: 
So son, you won't catch one every time you go
But when you catch the right one you're gonna know

repeat chorus:

The Badder The Better 
Lyrics: Vaughan Ray Daniel
Music: Jeff Walker  

When she dresses up that way 
Silk stockings and low cut dresses
 I can't think of a thing to say
 I'm the poster boy for hot messes 
She can keep goin' on like this forever 
I want her bad, bad, bad, bad..and... 
The badder the better  

Just one whiff of her perfume 
Butterflies invade my body 
Anticipatin' what she'll do 
'Cause she does my brand of naughty 
It's so hard to keep it all together
 I want her bad, bad, bad, bad..and.... 
The badder the better  

bridge: 
While she's shopping 
She'll be stopping at Victoria's Secret 
She gets my take on everything she buys 
I've been there so much 
That I no longer blush 
'Cause she does it just for me..I realize  

Instrumental break  

repeat bridge

Out:
I hope it goes on like this forever 
I want her bad, bad, bad, bad, and... 
The badder the better 
I want her bad, bad, bad, bad, and... 
The badder the better

Willie Nelson Has Always Been Old
Lyrics: Vaughan Ray Daniel
Music: Jeff Walker

A few things that I learned
In my first five years
Remained constant throughout my life
Fire will burn
Onions cause tears
And sometimes it's better to lie
Along with these there are many
Four more in the chorus are plenty

chorus:
Water is best when you're thirsty
A dollar spends better than gold
Soap cleans you off when you're dirty
And Willie Nelson has always been old

Something else that's a fact
There is nothing you'll do
That hasn't been done before
There is no going back
You will always be you
Some have less and some have more
Living is waiting for dying
Laughing comes in between crying

repeat chorus:

bridge:
Yes, Willie's been old
He's been drunk and/or stoned
As far as I know all my life
His age helps me cope
'cause it gave me this hope
That he ain't just one of a kind
tag: Maybe none of us have to die

Chorus

Willie Nelson Has Always Been Old

50/90 2024 Track No. 7

A sentimental one, in the jazz/blues styleeey...

She Becomes A Woman In My Arms

The Cover Of The AARP
Vaughan Ray Daniel. © 2024


I know I'm an aging guy
The years have been racing on by
But I don't like being reminded of it much
It's being made understood
Almost every place I look
Especially the music I once loved

chorus:
George and John are dead
Led Zeppelin's mostly lead
Rock and roll ain't what it use to be
The Boss's hair is gray
Grace Slick has varicose veins
Bon Jovi's on the cover of the AARP

verse:
It fillls me with fear and dread
All my heros are all dying or dead
And I could be next anytime or anyplace
I guess when all is said and done
That could be true for anyone
No One knows how long we have to wait

repeat chorus:

bridge:
Yeah, Bon Jovi's on the cover of
A magazine that old folks love
Bragging about the sinning he once did, he said
He said, he was far from a Saint
In his good old rock star days
Hoping he could coax some shame  
From his sweet Grand Kids
tag: I sure hope he did

repeat chorus:
