Crack In My Heart
02:28

What happened to the girl I knew
I don't like what's become of you
I can't believe I loved you way back when
You walk the streets in funny clothes
Your arms are sore with dirty holes
Baby, won't you just come home again
Don't think I'm happy
Sitting in my shiny car
When I hear your street jive rapping
It puts a big crack in my heart
It puts a big crack in my heart
I warned you not to play with fire
But city lights were your desire
I must admit you left me feeling had
If I could I'd take your place
But I'll just kiss your battered face
And baby, don't you know it makes me sad
Don't think I'm happy
Living the life of a star
I miss you on my sheets of satin
And It puts a big crack in my heart
It puts a big crack in my heart

Money's No Good
02:21

Bought myself a brand new Cadillac
But the repo man says he wants it back
Guess I missed a payment or two
Easy terms too good to be true
Sure like my life but the money's no good
Sure like my life but the money's no good
Sure like my life but the money's no good
The money's no good, the money's no good
My sweet little baby was feeling bad
Took her to the doctor's seeing what she had
Doctor said "Well, she aint't got long
"Cause without insurance I'm sending her home"
Sure like my life but the money's no good...
You all know how the story goes
Went to the boss to see about my raise
He said "You're lucky you even get paid
"You'd better learn to work for free
"Or I'll send that job right overseas"

With You
02:16
|

My friends all say
Drinking every day
Makes them feel okay
Keeps the blues away
Who needs the whiskey?
Who needs the hooch?
I get my high with you
My daddy cheats
He wonders the streets
While my mama sleeps
He's under strange sheets
Who needs fast women?
Who needs to cruise?
I get my kicks with you
L.A. is crazy
Action going down
Let's stay lazy
Keep fooling around
Who needs the city?
Who needs the loons?
I'm happy here with you
I'm happy here with you

If We Fall
03:44
|

|
Fairy tales and child like prayers
Don't always mean it's true
Working hard is in the cards
At least for me and you
We may never be the heroes
Standing proud and tall
We may go down as the losers
Slower on the draw
At least we'll be together if we fall
Walk around this side of town
And pain is all you see
Broken teeth and petty thieves
And crippling disease
There were never guarantees
That we would have it all
No one ever promised that we'd
Not run into walls
At least we'll be together if we fall
We may never see the day
When justice is the law
And we may never hear the trumpet
Sound a mighty call
At least we'll be together if we fall
At least we'll be together if we fall
At least we'll be together if we fall
At least we'll be together if we fall
At least we'll be together if we fall

When You Smile
03:02

Girl, when you smile
You smile so dear
Girl, when you smile
You smile sincere
After a while
I loose my guile
And smile
Girl, when you dance
You dance so fine
Girl, when you dance
You dance divine
You took the chance
I'll take a chance
And dance
I understand that the world is cold and mean
I understand that the world can steal your dreams
But girl, when you love
You love so sweet
Girl, when you love
You love so complete
We stay above
The push and shove
When we love
Girl, when you smile

I’d love you to tell me
The corner has been turned
I wish you could show me
The lesson has been learned
But I feel a restless wind
Blowing your way
You explain so perfectly
When goodbye is all you say
Your life is a drama
That never settles down
While you keep on flying
I watch you from the ground
You don’t have to lie again
I know you’ll stray
No one speaks a truer word
When goodbye is all you say
Loving you has filled my heart with pain and regret
Still somehow my biggest fear is my love you’ll forget
I will never waste your time
Begging you to stay
I have said it all before
When goodbye is all you say
I whisper please hurry home
When goodbye is all you say

Rose Hill
03:31

Walking on Rose Hill
Soldiers sleep so still
Faces long forgot
Nation's wounds are not
Georgia volunteer
Sad they marched you here
Laid beneath the stone
Far away from home
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Walking on Rose Hill
Soldiers sleep so still
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I'm walking on Rose Hill)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I'm walking on Rose Hill)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I'm walking on Rose Hill)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(I'm walking on Rose Hill)

I hope Heaven is everything you thought
I hope you’re there and you are not lost
May angles sing with voices
Praising all that's true
And love alone rejoices
And someone waits for you
I hope there is never any want
I hope your soul is glowing like the sun
May loved ones be together
May all things old be new
And joy will last forever
And someone waits for you
And someone waits for you

Mary Went To War
02:56
|
|||
|
I just heard the bad news
Mary has died in her boots
Everyone in town is so sad
They're flying the flags at half staff
Cause Mary won't be coming home no more
Mary went off to the war
Mary was my dear friend
We dated a little back then
But she couldn't find a career
Beyond serving truckers their beer
Now Mary won't be coming home no more
Mary went off to the war
Her recruiter said
Good things lie ahead
Mary was shipped to Baghdad
To fight 'em there the leader said
She never saw the I.E.D.
Or the profits Halliburton sees
Now Mary won't be coming home no more
Mary went off to the war

How Long?
03:20
|

|
How long must I wait
For my bitter fate?
How long must I wait here for you?
Will these blood shot eyes
See beyond disguise?
How long must they wait to see you?
How long?
How long?
How long must they wait?
Will the Moon and Sun
Know when the day is done
If they're not guided by you?
How long must I wait
At the rusted gate?
How long must I wait here for you?
How long?
How long?
How long must I wait?
How long?
How long?
How long must I wait?
