It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block And it may not look like we got all our share of the promise But at least one thing's for sure, I got it honest Roll out of the sack every mornin', head on down to the mill Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal If you'll check out my paycheck Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin' a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my heart be ruled by greed 'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't want it That way I can always say, I got it honest Now you ain't looking at some dude That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth And I might seem like some kind of low-life To that high-falutin' crowd But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin' And damn proud of what I have acomplished Some folks appreciate that and some don't But, I got it honest Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune But I hope they know'd my life stood for things that were important And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin' a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my heart be ruled by greed 'Cause brother if I didn't earn it, I don't want it That way I can always say, I got it honest Friend there ain't no doubt about it, I got it honest |

Always wanted one to put me to the test
A hot blooded woman that could love a man to death I got what I wanted but Lord I gotta say She's lovin' me into an early grave Lovin' me into an early grave I get up in the morning I'm headed for the door The last kiss leads to a thousand more I'm late for work but I can't get away She's lovin' me into an early grave Lovin' me into an early grave Finally found a reason to live But Lord she's gonna kill me as good as she is But if you've gotta go well it's the only way She's lovin' me into an early grave Lovin' me into an early grave Now I wouldn't trade places with any man alive But man alive it's hard to survive But I'm gonna keep trying till my dying day She's lovin' me into an early grave Lovin' me into an early grave Finally found a reason to live But Lord she's gonna kill me as good as she is But if you've gotta go well it's the only way She's lovin' me into an early grave Lovin' me into an early grave Lovin' me into an early grave Lovin' me into an early grave |

Sit down honey gotta have us a talk
Your man is a little upset There's a couple of things that's been missing And I ain't found 'em yet I ain't pointing no fingers Ain't layin' no blame And I don't wanna lose my cool But you just don't fool With a country boy's tool Tool box Now did I hear you right You loaned 'em out To the neighbor down the road Hey I'd just as soon You'd let him have my old bird dog Or my favorite fishing pole Now there's one little lesson That they just don't teach in school You just don't fool with a country boy's tool Tool box CHORUS It was handed down From my daddy's dad Back in ninteen forty-two And they may be rusty and they might be old But they're kinda like my family jewels Honey I love you But there's something else too That I care about a heck of a lot Oh you just just don't fool with a country boy's tool Tool box Now I don't wanna hurt your tender heart And I really do understand That a friend in need is a friend indeed And you offer a helping hand But if something gets broke and it's gotta be fixed Well I don't blame you know who 'Cause you just don't fool with a country boy's tool Tool box |

I put down my razor
Toweled off my face Thought I saw a new wrinkle And another strand of gray That one little scar Kept catching my eye Reminding me how time does fly I was only a kid When I had that first fight But I still don't give in When I believe that I'm right And at least I can stand here And like what I see In the man that kid turned out to be Lookin' back at myself It's plain to see That the cold hands of time Ain't had much mercy on me But I played a straight game With the cards that were dealt And I can look straight ahead Lookin' back at myself Now I ain't been no angel But I learned right from wrong Thanks to mamma and a hickory And a love so strong Yes she taught the rule That life is lived by I ain't forgot what you get For getting' out of line Now this old world throws some punches And I've taken a few Now my skin's tough as leather But I've grown strong with the truth There's been so many times I could've just stepped aside Ah but then I couldn't stand here with this peace of mind Lookin' back at myself It's plain to see That the cold hands of time Ain't had much mercy on me But I played a straight game With the cards that were dealt And I can look straight ahead Lookin' back at myself Still look straight ahead Lookin' back at myself |

A million reasons why I could
But only one why I won't 'Cause the one who'd probably never know Is the reason that I don't I can't say that I'm not tempted I'm just like any other man But when I walk out of here alone woman I hope you understand She's standin' on the promises That she gave to me So I'm standin' on the promises I promised her I'd keep It'd be so easy for anyone To justify the wrong Fall right into your arms And say to hell with being strong But there's one thing I know for sure She'd never play this kind of game And for her faith in out love I'll do her the same 'cause She's standin' on the promises That she gave to me So I'm standin' on the promises I promised her I'd keep Yes she's standin' on the promises That she gave to me So I'm standin' on the promises I promised her I'd keep |

There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station
He said Music City is my destination He said The whole wide world's gonna sing my song And you can take that to the bank I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank He got a furnished room and a job at the market He kept a little notebook in his back pocket And every time you'd see him he was writing a song And he would never leave one piece blank (he'd say) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank He sang when no one would listen So he sang until they hung on every word Ah then one day his phone started ringing They said we want you and the songs you've been singing And the kid said fine, just give me some time To talk to my patron saint (you see) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank (Yes sir,) That night as he laid in the darkness Ol' Luke the drifter came to him and said Oh now here's your chance boy go on and take it You sing from the heart and you're gonna make it But if anybody tries to change you Into something that you ain't (you tell 'em) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank |

Her last lonely teardrop fell
Along about nine o'clock His memory was history Before she hit the parking lot She busted through them swingin' doors Sashaying to and fro She's got a new attitude yes she's over that dude And she wants the world to know that (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight Just like a kid in a candy store She's checking out the merchandise But she wants to find the keeping kind Who will keep her satisfied And he's gotta be strong gotta be tough And he's gotta have a tender touch So if you fit the bill brother don't sit still Come on step right up 'cause (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight I said she feels like a brand new man tonight |

You are the woman
Who started a fire in my soul And to this day it's still burning out of control With my final breath your name will cross my tongue You are the woman there'll never be another one I've stared into the eyes of strangers Wondering if I'd ever find you girl The one that I could build my dreams around To fill my empty world And now I look at you and know it's true My search is finally done This love that I've held on to for so long Was meant for only one You are the woman beautiful woman God only knows just why you chose to love only me You are the woman oh precious woman Right her and now I give this vow There'll never be another one Right here and now I give this vow Oh there'll never be another one |
