Gonna fill my igloo full of ice Stock up on my way home tonight Light tiki torches and the grill Put speakers on the windowsill Play our music loud and dance all night Repeat Chorus We'll be horseshoein' barbecuin' flippin' Sippin' kickin' back Lawn chairin' music blarin' laughin' havin' us a blast Work all week until at last- It's Friday It's Friday - yeah! Whoa! |

Verse 1
I'll search and find that special tree One that looks just right Then I'll decorate it perfectly Even if it takes all night Then I'll light the fire Turn the lights down low And hang up the mistletoe And make some lasting memories We'll never forget Chorus A December to remember Always in our hearts Spending everyday of the holidays Wrapped up in each others arms All I want for Christmas Is forever to be like this A December to remember forever more Verse 2 Don't spend a single cent On a Christmas gift for me Cause the thing that I want most of all Can't be found beneath the tree It's the loving look that's in your eyes That money could never buy And I what I give you in return Will last throughout the years Chorus A December to remember Always in our hearts Spending everyday of the holidays Wrapped up in each others arms All I want for Christmas Is forever to be like this A December to remember forever more Tag And all I want for Christmas Is forever to be like this A December to remember forever more |

I remember I was sitting in this little cafe
Some where out in the middle of L.A. It was almost Christmas and I was all alone Suddenly He appeared, hungry, cold and tired Headed straight for me, He sat down uninvited What was on my mind when I didn't say 'Cause what He said to me, I think of every Christmas day He said that He was Jesus born in Bethlehem And that He died for us but somehow we'd forgotten Him Maybe He was lying just above my father's tree But He said that He was Jesus and I just had to believe I sat there in stunned silence and when His eyes met mine I just pushed my plate to Him and He said, "You're mighty kind" And I admit I had my doubts but I just couldn't take the chance I know the good book says, "You gotta help your fellow man" And He said that He was Jesus born in Bethlehem And that He died for us but somehow we'd forgotten Him Maybe He was lying just above my father's tree But He said that He was Jesus and I just had to believe I may never know if it was Jesus in that chair All I really know is that I'm sure that He was there He said that He was Jesus born in Bethlehem And that He died for us but somehow we'd forgotten Him Maybe He was lying just above my father's tree But He said that He was Jesus and I just had to believe Yep, I was sitting in this little cafe Some where out in the middle of L.A. It was almost Christmas, I was all alone |

We've got a problem we can't get around
It's gotten too big to just tear down We built a wall out of thin air Now I'm over here and you're over there I'm afraid that there's no two ways to it This wall could be our undoing Can't raise the ceiling, can't lower the floor Only thing left is to build a door A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall That's all A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall Might fall You get a hammer and I'll get a saw And we'll give this wall what-for What we need between you and me is a door We might get sweaty, might get dirty A couple of splinters would be well worth it We'll hang it right here, level and plumb And then we'll shake hands on a job well done Once that door's standing open We'll get some communication going We'll reach out, and the next thing we know This wall'll come down like Jericho A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall That's all A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall Might fall You get a hammer and I'll get a saw And we'll give this wall what-for What we need between you and me is a door A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall That's all A window won't work, and a ladder stretched that tall Might fall You get a hammer and I'll get a saw And we'll give this wall what-for What we need between you and me is a door |

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 |

Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours And I struck out across Texas, gonna walk it line to line Now I'm halfway cross New Mexico, but you're still on my mind And this road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on As I ask myself with every step will I ever be alone I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I was deep in California when I finally made a friend And it was me and that old hobo till you showed up again Then he ran out of liquor and I've run out of time I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind And I'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours |

Desperation in my mother's eyes Factory whistle would wake me in the morning At night the sirens sang my lullaby Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle Heart of leather and hands of steel Thought I was too much of a sole survivor To ever feel the way I feel CHORUS But I don't want to live without your love I don't want to live without your love I can't take another night And I've lost the will to fight I don't want to live without your love Dance with the Devil in a bottle of whiskey I paid the fiddler for every song You'd think with all the lessons learned the hard way I'd know enough to be strong (repeat chorus) |

You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck A long, hard day sure ain't much fun But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done You set your mind and roll up your sleeves You're workin' on a working man's Ph.D. With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow You build the things that really make the world go around If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years You bet your bottom dollar it was made right here With pride, honor and dignity From a man with a working man's Ph.D. Now there ain't no shame in a job well done From driving a nail to driving a truck As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight A few more people should be pullin' their weight If you wanna cram course in reality You get yourself a working man's Ph.D. When the quittin' whistle blows and the dust settles down There ain't no trophies or cheering crowds You'll face yourself at the end of the day And be damn proud of whatever you've made Can't hang it on the wall for the world to see But you've got yourself a working man's Ph.D. Now there ain't no shame in a job well done From driving a nail to driving a truck As a matter of fact I'd like to set things straight A few more people should be pullin' their weight If you wanna cram course in reality You get yourself a working man's Ph.D. |

Now Daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light But you could always find him standing up For what he thought was right He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house If Daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backing down But we always had plenty just living his advice Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything Now I know that things are different than they were in Daddy's days But I still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |

Jack handed Rita his paycheck
With his apologies he said they're cutting back at work They had to let me go And Jack expected tears he expected worse But he didn't expect these words As Rita pulled him close And she said to him -- don't worry about it baby Let me tell you something At the end of the day Is really where it all begins With who you love, who loves you And who's your friends 'Cause God don't care where you live Who you are, what you drive or how much you make All that really counts is how you sleep At the end of the day Now betty handed bob the keys To their million-dollar home She said -- Bob this might be living But it sure ain't love I thought I had to have all this I thought it made me "Me" Ah, but now I think that it's just twenty cold rooms full of stuff And she said -- let me tell you something Else, Bob At the end of the day Is really where it all begins With who you love, who loves you And who's your friends 'Cause God don't care where you live Who you are, what you drive or how much you make All that really counts is how you sleep At the end of the day Now when my grandpa died He didn't have a dime But he was rich, they say And when it came time to see him off The whole damn county came And I remember he used to say it all the time At the end of the day Is really where it all begins With who you love, who loves you And who's your friends 'Cause God don't care where you live Who you are, what you drive or how much you make All that really counts is how you sleep At the end of the day At the end of the day |

We were all drinking at marge's one
night When an old cowboy came through the door He took a few shaky steps Then he started to moan And he keeled over right on the floor Doc came on over, took his stethoscope out He listened and he looked in his eyes He said, "Boys stick around I just might need your help I'm afraid this will be a long night" CHORUS Cause there's a five gallon tear, a five- gallon tear Lodged in this poor boy's heart By the look in his eyes he ain't cried in years And he's reatining a five gallon tear Doc wrote a prescription to induce him to cry It was whiskey and sad country songs We propped him up in a booth And poured a drink down his throat Then we turned that old wurlitzer on Well he spluttered and he coughed And he hung down his head As those lonely songs worked on his heart When the memories started coming six minutes apart We laid him face-up on the bar SECOND CHORUS And then a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear Slowly welled up in his eyes We all yelled, "Push!" and we all gave a cheer When he cried that five gallon tear BRIDGE That jar by the door don't hold pig feet no more The contents are sparkling clear That liquid within is not moonshine or gin It's a reminder to everyone here THIRD CHORUS Yeah, it's a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear Let this be a lesson to you Keep your sorrow inside for too many years And you'll cry that five gallon tear Buddy you'll cry You'll cry a five gallon tear Reprise: REPEAT THIRD CHORUS FADE |

I reckon there's one near your hometown
An old cinderblock building looks half torn down Just hang a left down the lost highway Keep going till you see the signs that say CHORUS Honky tonk if you love country Honky tonk you whole life long Honky tonk if you love country That's what keeps this country strong Them little ladies in the kitchen can't be beat They've got your hard-boiled eggs and your pickled pig feet Don't you try to order no imported beer That truck only runs from St. Louie to here REPEAT CHORUS All the girls get frisky on Friday night When the band starts playing don't you be surprised We do things different when we start to rock Yeah, we hop on the hiop and we hip on the hop REPEAT CHORUS We'll be the life of the party at the party of your life You might even meet your next ex-wife Ain't no better place for you to be In the home of the brave and the land of the free REPEAT CHORUS (TWICE) |

In a tiny town where the biggest things
Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams I Believed In a little house of simple means Where doing without was a common scene I Believed On a dried up square of worthless Earth Where we scratched our living out of The Dirt I Believed In a little brown church where I first heard The choir sing and the preacher's word I Belived, oh I believed CHORUS And the closer that I looked within The further I could see And I really didn't have much other choice So, I believed In a high-rise world of steel and glass Where a man dies young if he don't think fast I Believed On the streets where the truth is hard to find And what's in it for me is the bottom line I Believed In a place whre people don't seem to care They turn their backs like you're not there I Believed Yeah, where anything goes, it usually does I held my breath and bit my tongue And I believed, Oh I Believed REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE In a higher place, in a deeper faith In a power stronger than you or me I Believed Now when they put that granite on my grave All I want that stone to say is I Believed And where I'm from and the woman I love The job I did and God Above I Believed, I Believed, I Believed I Believed, I Believed, I Believed |

Have I got the deal for you
Would you like to have a t-bone steak and lobster Served on the finest china Accompanied by a bottle of the world's greatest wine Served in a crystal glass Alone Or would you rather have A Big Mac, an order of fries, a cherry pie Underneath a big oak tree Sittin' on a blanket Snuggled up with the one you love. CHORUS I'll talk love over money Forget the green, give me honey Some people work work work their lives away But I'll take love over money Any day Okay check this out You're on the streets of Paris Standing underneath the Ifle Tower Surrounded by all the magical things the City of Romance has to offer But you're all alone. Or would you rather be at the state fair Standing in line for the Tilt-A-Whirl Eatin' cotton candy MMMM that's good Drinking a Dr. Pepper And stealing a kiss from the one you love. CHORUS Okay now think about this That's it, a low flowin', red slick, candy apple, Rockin' sled of a Farrari Price tag 205 and some change But no one and I mean absolutely no one will ever be in the passenger seat with you Or would you rather have a 1989 Mud gray 150 extended cab with 4 wheel drive And sittin' right next to you as close as the law will allow Chewing bubble gum, singin' in your ear Along with Lynyrd Skynyrd Is the one you love CHORUS (2 TIMES) |

I hollered "hey honey, I'm home" like I do every day at four
But the TV ain't on and the car is gone, she must be at the store Then I spied this piece of paper it looked like a list of things to do But when I got down to number six I realized we were through The plumber couldn't make it today, I've decided that I'm going away The dog's at the vet the hearing is set Do you see what I'm trying to say Don't forget to take out the trash, I'm sorry but I'm not coming back Now you can't sugar coat what she really wrote Ain't that a hell of a note I just stood there and scratched my head, my chin dropped to the floor Not even a tear after all these years, I expected a little bit more I was countin' on grabbin' a good, cold beer Stretchin' out on the couch But she went by the numbers and I got counted out The plumber couldn't make it today, I've decided that I'm going away The dog's at the vet the hearing is set Do you see what I'm trying to say Don't forget to take out the trash, I'm sorry but I'm not coming back Now you can't sugar coat what she really wrote Ain't that a hell of a note Lordy, ain't that a hell of a note |

I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors
Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours And I struck out across Texas, gonna walk it line to line Now I'm halfway cross New Mexico, but you're still on my mind And this road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on As I ask myself with every step will I ever be alone I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I was deep in California when I finally made a friend And it was me and that old hobo till you showed up again Then he ran out of liquor and I've run out of time I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind And I'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours |

Where the night is neon blue Surrounded by strangers, she don't know the dangers One drink could lead her to And if she falls, it's all my fault For doin' a good woman wrong I can't be far behind her Oh, Lord, help me find her Before my angel is gone Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Last night when she left I told myself That she wouldn't go too far Now I'm not so sure how long her tears Could last in a stranger's arms She's wounded I know and feeling so low She could fall at anytime I don't know what I'd do if I were to lose That precious angel of mine Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Yes, tell her heaven without her feels like hell tonight |

Just a skinny little Mississippi railroad man
That loved to sing and play He brought his music from the cotton fields To the the hillbilly hall of fame Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers Chisel his name in the cornerstone I just wish he could've lived to see the day When country took the throne Now a million songs have come and gone Since we made that humble start About neon nights, everyday life Love and broken hearts And more and more folks Kept tuning in and turning on Now I can proudly say that I saw the day When country took the throne Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York They can't get enough of this country stuff And they're screaming for more We painted the town with that grand old sound And the whole world sang along Yes, I was there the day When country took the throne Now, no one knows what the future holds But I bet my best guitar There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter And a honky-tonk on Mars In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer The best music ever known They'll celebrate that age old day When country took the throne Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York They can't get enough of this country stuff And they're screaming for more We painted the town with that grand old sound And the whole world sang along Yes, I was there the day When country took the throne I said I was there the day When country took the throne |

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 |

Now Daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light But you could always find him standing up For what he thought was right He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house If Daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backing down But we always had plenty just living his advice Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything Now I know that things are different than they were in Daddy's days But I still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |

One woman could hold me And leave me weak as a baby I'd have told'em they were crazy CHORUS Love hit me like a ten pound hammer A ten pound hammer with a five foot swing I used to play it so cool Lord knows that I was no fool No chains would ever bind me But those days are all behind me- you see (repeat chorus) I never saw love's power Just the hearts and the flowers When I fell it was frightning It struk me down like lightning- when (repeat chorus) I used to live like a rolling stone Nobody had a hold on me All it took was a kiss from you To bring me right to my knees (repeat chorus) Yeah, that's all she wrote |

Maybe we'll never be seen together
At night on a crowded street I may never reach across your body To kill the light when you're asleep Maybe I'll never watch you dressing I won't sound too familiar on the phone But I can touch your hand accidentally And take that moment home That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you I won't be there when you need holding But I'm sure that he can pull you through But I can sing this song to everybody And pretend it's not about you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to Yeah, that's as close as I'll get to That's as close as I'll get to loving you |

I was born on the wrong of the city
Desperation in my mother's eyes Factory whistle would wake me in the morning At night the sirens sang my lullaby Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle Heart of leather and hands of steel Thought I was too much of a sole survivor To ever feel the way I feel CHORUS But I don't want to live without your love I don't want to live without your love I can't take another night And I've lost the will to fight I don't want to live without your love Dance with the Devil in a bottle of whiskey I paid the fiddler for every song You'd think with all the lessons learned the hard way I'd know enough to be strong (repeat chorus) |

ever since that night you walked out
I just ain't been the same ol' me I've barely had the strength to leave the couch to turn on my tv but a man can't hide away forever and last night I finally told me so I knew I had to get out but I knew I had to take it slow Chorus so I burned down this town a honky tonk at a time I got loud and checked out every cute little cowgirl I could hold getting over you is still a long ways away I swear Last night was one small step but you gotta start somewhere think I feel a little better a little more like the man I used to be I ain't saying that I'm there yet but I can see some possibilities when your motor ain't been fired up lately you can't just jam it in gear and go I know I'm still not up to speed but last night I had to test the road |

You say you finally found your Mr. Right
He's got you flying like a dime store kite Well I'll be waiting here on the ground Look me up if he lets you down CHORUS You've always got me to fall back on A rabbit in your hat, an ace in the hole It might help to know you've got a Plan B Whatever else happens you've always got me I gave you my heart and my heart is true I won't take it back no matter whay you do You're gonna have to carry it permanently No matter who else loves you, you've always got me (REPEAT CHORUS) Another iron in the fire, another horse in the barn Another map to your treasure An extra safety net -- another hedge on your bet A little bit for good measure (REPEAT CHORUS) It might help you to know you've got a Plan B Whatever else happens you've always got me |

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 |

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 |
