From The Beginning Of Eternity (132)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

From the beginning of eternity, 
To the end of time and space. 
To the beginning of every end, 
From the end of every place. 

From now until forever and ever, 

'Til the stars fall from the sky. 

Every minute of every day, 

From valleys low to mountains high. 

I'm gonna love you forever, 

And never leave your side. 

'Gonna cherish you always, 

My love, my sweet, my bride. 

From the beginning of eternity, 
To the end of time and space. 
To the beginning of every end, 
From the end of every place. 

From now until forever and ever, 

'Til the stars fall from the sky. 

Every minute of every day,

From valleys low to mountains high. 

I'm gonna love you forever, 
And never leave your side.
'Gonna cherish you always, 

My love, my sweet, my bride.

The Barrel Bar and Grill French Fry Blues (131)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

She sat down and ate my french fries,
Last night down at the Barrel Bar & Grill.
Now she was extra sweet and bubbly;
And I must say she gave me quite a thrill.

And while she ate all my french fries,
We had a grand ol' time makin' small talk.
I imagined how nice it'd be 
To take us a nice long, leisurely walk.

Prettiest thing I've ever seen,
And I hoped she might stick around awhile.
But she left way too doggone early,
Long blonde hair and a right beautiful smile.

'Huggin' me tight, sayin' goodbye,
French fries gone, crumpled napkins on a pile.
Passin' through on a cold wintry night,
Long blonde hair and a right beautiful smile.

'Sure wish I'd gotten her number,
'Would like to see that sweet young lady again!
'Been thinkin' about her all today;
I've got the ketchup-smothered, french fry blues!

Yeah, wish I'd gotten her number,
I want to see that sweet young lady again!
'Been thinkin' 'bout her most of the day;
'Got the Barrel Bar and Grill, ketchup-covered, greasy french fry blues!

People of the Lie (130)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Bullies, fairies, ad men, hackers and trolls,
People of the lie them all.
Fearing sunshine and perverting the truth,
They huff, puff and then they fall.

In the dark shadows they plan together,
People of the lie them all.
Boasting, bellowing, spying and lieing,
The unmitigated gall!

But try as they might they cannot prevail;
The TRUTH always comes to light.
Bullies, fairies, ad men, hackers and trolls,
Shameful people of the lie!

Bullies, fairies, ad men, hackers and trolls,
People of the lie them all,
Bullies, fairies, ad men, hackers and trolls,
Shameful people of the lie!

Missouri Bluffs (128)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Ol' Missouri, 
Muddy waters roll on by. 
Fond memories, 
Happy childhood days gone by. 

Missouri bluffs, 
Redtail hawk soaring up high. 
Soft summer breeze, 
White clouds and powder blue sky. 

Missouri home, 
Cold starry December night. 
Distant whistle,
Assures me that all is right. 

Missouri farms,
Golden grain and fresh cut hay. 
Born and raised here,  
And 'tis here I'm gonna stay. 

Ev'ry True Son, 
Singing the Tiger Fight Song. 
At Faurot Field, 
We cheered loudly all game long. 

Show-Me girls,
Just as sweet as they can be.
I love them all,
And some of them have loved me.

Missouri bluffs,
Muddy river roll on by.
Born and raised here,
And 'tis here I'm gonna die.

Missouri home, 
Muddy river roll on by.
Born and raised here,
And I'll stay here 'til I die.

Railroad Track (127)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

I used to think life was hills and valleys;
You go through a dark time and then sunshine.
It seemed that life was a series of ups and downs;
I'd be in the pits and then I'd be fine.

But over the years, I've come to believe
Life is like two rails on a railroad track.
At all times throughout your life there's always
Something good and something bad on those tracks.

Two rails runnin' along that railroad track
Are gonna get me where I need to go.
No matter something good or something bad,
I'll get there be it fast or be it slow.

'Spect we've all got a purpose for our lives,
But we're all gonna have some problems too.
That's just the way this old life seems to go,
Sometimes we're happy and sometimes we're blue.

Sometimes we're right on top of this old world,
But sometimes the world is beating us down.
Love makes livin' life a bit more worthwhile;
Well, at least ways that's what I've always found.

Two rails runnin' along that railroad track
Are gonna get me where I need to go.
No matter something good or something bad,
I'll get there be it fast or be it slow.

Good moments and bad,
Heartaches and loving times.
Courtship and passion
Which led to wedding bell chimes.

Hills and valleys,
Canyons and peaks.
Our journey through life,
Heart to heart and cheek to cheek.

Warm embers glowing still. 
Our life together
An exhilarating thrill!

Though the course is not marked,
Love will find a way.

Love can find its own way
To a broken heart. 
And it can thaw the ice
That keeps two lovers apart.

Love can find its own way

Three fingers of Yellowstone
Hasn't killed the pain tonight.

One more night in a smokey bar,
Wasting my life away.

Bein' here all alone.

Three fingers of Yellowstone

Three fingers of Yellowstone,
A dash or two of bitters.
Be my friend and lift my spirits;
Calm my shaky jitters.

Smooth and mellow Yellowstone,
Help me make it through the night.
She's gone and left me once again;
Yeah, we had another fight.

Three fingers of Yellowstone
Hasn't killed the pain tonight.

'Woke up this Kentucky mornin';
I was feelin' pretty damned low.
My stomach was really a churnin',
And my friggin' head hurt me so!

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

First light of mornin' now showin'
Dimly through the window curtains.
But when she rolled o'er against me,
Who she was I wasn't certain.

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

Empty bottle o' Jack Daniels
O'er by the magazine rack.
No recollection of much else,
But I did recognize Ol' Jack.

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

I'm just wonderin' what's her name?
Is it Alice, Patty or Beth?
Or could it be Bonnie or Jane?
It just ain't comin' to me yet!

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar*

When she wakes, I'll just call 'er hon.
Yep, I suppose that's what I'll do.
Or is her name Liz or Lyndah?
Maybe her name's on her tatoo?

Need a bucket o' ice water!
Another cotton-mouth mornin'!
Yeah, I'm afraid it's another
Head-splittin', cotton-mouth mornin'!

Somethin' Keeps A Holdin' On To Me (115)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

*twangy strums from Willie Nelson's old beat-up guitar 'Trigger'*

'Got drunk ag'in last night
Just tryin' to shake free
Of somethin' that's been
A holdin' on to me.

Oh yeah, I'm tryin'
To forget, to let go,
But somethin' keeps
A holdin' on to me.

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar 'Trigger'*

Laughed with my buds,
And talked with Sue.
Still, I can't shake
The memories of you.

Oh yeah, I'm tryin'
To forget, to let go,
But somethin' just keeps
A holdin' on to me.

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar 'Trigger'*

Another bottle o' Jack
And I stumbled on home.
What a miserable feelin'
Bein' all alone.

Oh yeah, I'm tryin'
To forget, to let go,
But somethin' keeps
A holdin' on to me.

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar 'Trigger' and some piano and harmonica too*

Seems kinda crazy,
The older I get.
What's wrong with me?
Why can't I forget?

Oh yeah, I'm tryin'
To forget, to let go,
But somethin' just keeps
A holdin' on to me.

Yeah, baby, a holdin' on to me.
Yeah, baby, ya' gotta let go o' me!

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar 'Trigger'*

Gotta get a grip o' myself,
Gotta take control o' my life.
Gotta let ya' go now,
You're no longer my wife.

No, you're no longer my wife.
No longer my wife, no, no, no.

*more twangin' from Willie's guitar 'Trigger' and some piano and harmonica too*

Oh yeah, I'm tryin'
To forget, to let go,
But somethin' just keeps
A holdin' on to me.

Yeah girl, I'm tryin'
To forget, to let go,
But somethin' just keeps
A holdin' on to me.

No Exit (114)

Have ya' ever felt like you were lost inside your own mind? Have ya' ever found yourself mulling things from the past over and over in your mind? Have you ever searched for an exit to a destination in your own mind that you just simply could not find?

Then perhaps you can relate to these lyrics ...

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Lost inside my mind,
I keep searchin' for an exit.
But it seems to be an exit
That I just can't find.

O'er n' o'er wonderin'
Just where I might be headed.
I can't seem to find the way
To my destination.

Seems there's no exit,
That I'm lost inside my mind.
If there's an exit out there,
I can't seem to find it.

Things I can't forget,
A few that I really should.
Wonderful memories of you
And the time we first met.

Things I should redo,
So many I wanna repeat.
Those sweet, sweet memories of
Long ago, me and you.

Seems there's no exit,
That I'm lost inside my mind.
If there's an exit out there,
I can't seem to find it.

I can't kill the pain,
And I can't drink enough booze.
If my mind keeps on spinnin',
I might go insane.

I wonder at times,
Do ya' still think about me?
Or have ya' moved on without me,
And escaped your own mind?

For me, there's no exit,
And I'm lost inside my mind,
If there's an exit out there,
I just can't find it.

Lord, Don't Let Those Cold Winds Blow Before I'm Too Old To Die Young (113)

♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫ ♫ ♫♫

Please, Lord, don't let
Those cold winds blow
Before I'm too old
To die young.

And Lord, don't let
Me pass from this world
Before my final song
At last is sung.

Ya' see, Dear Lord,
I've got a few things
I still need to do
And do better.

Lord, I've got
A few small regrets.
Time has flowed by me
Like a roaring river.

So, Lord, grant me
Just a few more years.
A few good years
Without pain or strife.

There's so much more
I intend to do,
More I can do to live 6
A fuller and betterer life.

So please, Lord, don't let
Those cold winds blow
Before I'm too old
To die young.

No, Lord, don't let
Those cold winds blow
Before I'm too old
To die young.
