All For You

Working hard has never been my style
but lately I've been working harder than I've worked in awhile
Going hard, going the extra mile
These guitar strings wear my fingers to the bone
the work I do all day and night makes my muscles moan
but in my toil I'm never alone
because your love makes me strong
gives me strength to go on
So break my back
stretch me thin
I'd gladly to it all over again just to end my days with you
so come on and crack the whip 'til I sweat blood
and my tears cry out from heaven above that I did it all for love of you
all for you
it ain't hard for me to keep my spirit up
since I've got an overflowing in this loving up
and if I should ever thirst, I've got enough
because your love is my wine
and it soothes my mind
So break my back
stretch me thin
I'd gladly to it all over again just to end my days with you
so come on and crack the whip 'til I sweat blood
and my tears cry out from heaven above that I did it all for love of you
all for you
All for you

This Kind of Love
02:08
|

this kind of love makes no demands
this kind of love's got no plans
it don't worry bout what might me
curls up close right next to me
this kind of love, this kind of love
this kind of love, this kind of love
only wants to be with you
just as long as you want me to
makes it easy to be yourself
it ain't looking for nothing else
this kind of love rides back roads
there's no map for where it goes
sun comes up on a southern breeze
another day doing what you please
this kind of love, this kind of love
this kind of love, this kind of love
this kind of love, this kind of love
this kind of love, this kind of love
only wants to be with you
just as long as you want me to
you don't drive and i don't steer
hold too tight, it'll disappear
this kind of love can't be bought
laughs and whispers what it wants
speaks a language of its own
kind of I've never known
this kind of love, this kind of love
this kind of love, this kind of love
this kind of love, this kind of love
this kind of love, this kind of love

Fast Horses
03:04
|

I wanna ride fast horses
Running with the wind
Galloping on the high desert plains
Out where the mountains begin
I don’t wanna be a cowboy
Those boys work too hard
I just wanna ride the horses
And sleep out under the stars
So saddle me up the pinto
Throw a rope on that gray
And we’ll go riding horses
Out on the prairie all day
Grandad ran some cattle
Til the big flood of’51
Washed away all of his dreams
Grandad went on the run
Now he’s up in the cemetery
There ain’t much there to see
He’d rather be riding horses
Out on the prairie with me
So saddle me up the pinto
Throw a rope on that gray
And we’ll go riding horses
Out on the prairie all day
I wanna ride fast horses
Running with the wind
Galloping on the high desert plains
Out where the mountains begin
Out where the mountains begin
Out where the mountains begin

Hey Jude
03:08

Hey Jude, we’re just nobodies
Lost in the shuffle
You hardly ever got a mention
Only hard times and trouble
You know I hate to bother you
But I’ve got this here impression
That it’s your kindly custom
to answer hopeless questions
Patron Saint of tireless losers lost without a cause
Save me from myself, for I’m a failure and a fraud
See me through what I can’t do without some unseen help
‘Cause this lost cause can’t find what he’s never seen himself
Hey Jude, when them winds are wild
Blowing lonesome cold
You give shelter to desperate dreams
And warmth to sad souls
Just the comfort of your prayer
That’ll do just fine
You’ve got the ear of the throne
I’ll get you back in time
Patron Saint of tireless losers lost without a cause
Save me from myself, for I’m a failure and a fraud
See me through what I can’t do without some unseen help
this lost cause can’t find what he’s never seen himself
Hey Jude, I feel so alone
I sure could use a friend
Some things they just can’t be fixed
They can only heal and mend.

Dogs and Trucks
03:58
|

I’m empty as Oklahoma
Tired as these dusty fields
Nothing but rigs and windmills
They look just like I feel
Nothing as sad as a sunrise
Crossing the Texas line
Left you and a U-Haul in Kansas
Full of what was yours and mine
And the only thing we can agree
It’s all over for you and me
So please stop talking, we’ve both said enough
You keep the dog
I’ll take the truck
You keep the dog
I’ll take the truck
Took forever to get through Dallas
My mind stuck on rewind
Trying to drive the you out of me
That’s gonna take some time
But I hope this truck holds together
It’s a long way to Mexico
My brother has a house there
Always said I could go
And the only thing we can agree
It’s all over for you and me
So please stop talking, we’ve both said enough
You keep the dog
I’ll take the truck
You keep the dog
I’ll take the truck
Found a beach and some Tequila
Gonna drink the you out of me
Ride some waves
Wait for better days
Get washed away by the sea
Yes it’s over for you and for me
So please stop talking, we’ve both said enough
You keep the dog
I’ll take the truck
You keep the dog
I’ll take the truck
You keep the dog
I’m taking my truck

To Die Is Gain
03:37
|
|||
Life is tough as a tack and hard as a nail
So I’m prone to flights of fancy and climbing tall tales
And all that’s anchoring this hot air balloon
Keeping me from flying off too soon
Is knowing that you need me like I need you
To die is gain, there’s too much trouble on this here plane
To die is gain, but that’d cause you too much pain
I want to live forever so’s that I can stay for your sake
And get a glimpse of heaven, while I’m in this place, in your face
To live is to love you
To die is gain
Aw you’re so melancholy, I’m so blue
Oh, it’s oh so overwhelming, what do we do?
Well, seal up that teary fountain
For faith can move these mountains
But I do believe we’ll be climbing ‘til our days are through
To die is gain…
One fine morning when this life is over
I’ll be there to help you through the door
In this world, we’ll grow frail and old
But in the one to come, I can hold you forevermore
No more tears, no more sorrow, nor pain
To die is gain…
To live is to love you
To die is gain

Body on Body
03:48

Woman, hold me close
for you haunt my heart
like a lovely ghost
well I ain't no mist, and you ain't no shade
skin on skin is where love is made
so let me bless you, bless you all night long
let me kiss the sweetest lips that God's put on the earth
and with the tongues of angels until the dawn
let me bless you, bless you
body on body
baby, angel, I've known your name
it's kept me from sleeping
It's kept me in sweet, sweet pain
Well you know these sheets, and I know this bed
won't you sing me to sleep, my love?
come and rock me to rest.
so let me bless you, bless you all night long
let me kiss the sweetest lips that God's put on the earth
and with the tongues of angels until the dawn
let me bless you, bless you
body on body
Need no one near but my dearest
Need no other touch than her loving caress
the love that we share, we made with our hands
with the work of our bodies, tender and bare
so let me bless you, bless you all night long
let me kiss the sweetest lips that God's put on the earth
and with the tongues of angels until the dawn
let me bless you, bless you
body on body

Set It Free
01:40
|
|||
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
That’s what people say
For me to want to be with you
You don’t have to go away
I like it when you’re next to me
When the stars come out at night
When you’re far away
Things don’t feel quite right
But you gotta do what you gotta do
And the same goes for me
If you want to keep your love
You gotta set it free
So go where you gotta go
And be who you gotta be
When you’re done doing that
Come on back to me
I will be right here
Where the shoreline meets the sea
And when you’re done doing what you do
Come be free with me
But you gotta do what you gotta do
And the same goes for me
If you want to keep your love
You gotta set it free
When you’re done doing what you do,
Come be free with me
