Angel Standing in the Rain

Lightening flashes

I don’t trust my eyes

There’s an angel standing in the rain

In the dark of night

In a world full of lies

There’s an angel standing in the rain

Thunder crashes

I hear baby crying

And painful life that still remains

This storm is a killer

There’s no denying

But there’s an angel standing in the rain

Lord, take these prayers from a sinner

I saw your angel standing in the dark

He reached inside my heart

He shared all our pain

That angel standing in the rain

Lightening flashes

I don’t trust my eyes

But there’s an angel standing in the rain

Nights Turn Cold

Nights turn cold

Nothing you can do

Nights turn cold

Ain’t nothing you can do

Nights turn cold

Baby don’t want you

I drink whiskey

When I can’t stand myself

I drink whiskey

When I can’t stand myself

Nights turn cold

Sitting on a night shelf

Door is open

The door is closed

Door is open

That door is closed

Nights turn cold

She won’t step out our her clothes

I don’t see right

Cause a woman stole my eyes

I don’t see right

Cause a woman stole my eyes

Nights turn cold

As I define my alibis

Nights turn cold

Nothing you can do

Nights turn cold

Ain’t a damned thing you can do

Nights turn cold

Baby don’t want you

She’s Chasing Yesterday

Well there’s nothing you can do to try and change her

And there’s nothing you can do to make her stay

There’s nothing you can do that you ain’t already done

She’s chasing yesterday

 

She’s still striking she’s aged well

Her figure’s a little fuller but that’s OK

You’re smiling sad

Hell, that seems to make her mad

She’s chasing yesterday

 

I saw her dancing in a bar room

No place you’d expect and out of the way

With a short attention span and a shorter skirt

She’s chasing yesterday

 

And I imagine her riding on a Harley

Her hair blown back on a sun shiny day

Oh man she’d ride

You know she’d ride

She’s chasing yesterday

 

I said man she’d ride

You know she’d ride

She’s chasing yesterday

We’re Gonna Get Through This

We’re gonna get though this

I’m gonna have to insist

We’ve been together too long

To ever call it quits

We’re gonna make mistakes

We’re gonna get a few bad breaks

That’s just the way it is

Come on and give me a kiss

We’re gonna get through this

We spent another evening without much conversation

Because of what I’d done the night before

Look anywhere you’ll find this lack of communication

And couples who talk less even more

But honey we’re gonna get though this

I’m gonna have to insist

We’ve been together too long

To ever call it quits

We’re gonna make mistakes

We’re gonna get a few bad breaks

That’s just the way it is

Come on and give me a kiss

We’re gonna get through this

I ain’t proud of everything I’ve said and done

Sometimes I’ve had a little too much fun

I’ve been fighting all my life I’ve never won

But honey just remember when it ‘s all said and done

We’re gonna get though this

I’m gonna have to insist

We’ve been together too long

To ever call it quits

We’re gonna make mistakes

We’re gonna get a few bad breaks

That’s just the way it is

Come on and give me a kiss

We’re gonna get through this

It comes down to two

That’s me and you

We headed down this road

The day we said I do

We’re gonna make some wrong turns

We’ve got a lot left to learn

That’s just the way it is

Come on and give me a kiss

We’re gonna get through this

That’s just the way it is

Come on and give me a kiss

We’re gonna get through this

Down at the River

I’m down at the river

Waiting for you

I received some bad news

Last time I was through

And up on the hilltop

I see an old Indian man

He was watching over me

Watching over his land

I’m down at the river

Waiting on my chance

To hold you once again

Where the angels dance

And the sunset has your smile

Good rivers gather all your tears

Love only gets sweeter

With the passing of the years

Down at the river

Where we used to play

I spend my time fishing

Learning how to pray

When I hear you laughing

Well I look into the sky

And call upon the raindrops

To join me when I cry

It Takes a Lot

It takes a lot of heartache

Takes a lot of pain

It takes a whole lot of everything

When a good heart beats

And then goes down

That’s the sound of angels

Coming across town

It takes a lot of cussing

Takes a lot of prayers

It takes a whole bunch of what we ain’t got here

Need Grandma Mullaney

In a dressing gown

And the sound of angels

Coming across town

It takes a lot of noise

It takes a lot of pain

It takes bunch of fat old businessmen

Dressed up and acting like saints

To earn a little hospital money

Dressed up like crazy clowns

That’s the sound of angels

Coming across town

It takes a lot of sunshine

It takes a lot of laughter

It takes a whole lot of work

To get what you’re after

And prayers in the wind when that sun goes down

To join the sound of angels

Coming across town

Staying at this Hotel

I’ve been out ridin’

Ridin’ with my shadow

I’ve been out talkin’

Talkin’ to myself

Looking for that woman

Longing for that woman

Hurtin’ for that woman

That put me on the shelf

I’m staying at this hotel

I guess it’s all right by me

With continental breakfast

Imaginary friends stay free

Ain’t getting any smarter

Ain’t getting any smarter

Still thinking about a woman

That just had to go

I’m losing my sanity

I lost my dignity

Thank God my virginity

Left a long time ago

I’m staying at this hotel

I guess it’s all right by me

With continental breakfast

And imaginary friends stay free

Well I’m staying at this hotel

I guess it’s all right by me

This continental breakfast

And where imaginary friends stay free

I’m staying at this hotel

I guess it’s all right by me

With continental breakfast

And where imaginary friends stay free

Well I’m staying at this hotel

I guess it’s all right by me

This continental breakfast

And imaginary friends stay free

Well I’m staying at this hotel

I guess it’s all right by me

This continental breakfast

Send More Angels Down

Well they got him down with taser guns at the Mercy Lounge

The newspapers said he was Earl Bud’s kid

Man that’s crazy what the law will let them do

That’s evil what they did

Lord, send angels down

Lord, send more angels down

Lord please won’t you send more angels down

Send more angels down

Well he was partying too hard the bouncers said

Might have been booze might have been a little ‘cid

Got his GED just got out of school

Lawman killed him for acting like a fool

Lord, send more angels down

Lord, send more angels down

Lord please won’t you send more angels down

Lord, send more angels down

I believe he was hurting himself and nobody else

Just hurting himself and really not nobody else

Just a kid hurting himself

Hurting himself and nobody else

Lord, send more angels down

Lord, send more angels down

Lord please won’t you send more angels down

Lord, send more angels down

Good Boots

Sky is blue

Spring has sprung

My horse can still run

Lead me to the trail

Lead me to the trail

Every cowboy limps a little

Knows true love’s a riddle

Tries not to let it fail

Tries not to let it fail

Good boots are mandatory

When you walk from Hell to Purgatory

Places a horse won’t go

Places a horse won’t go

The Badlands are pretty in the orange sunsets

And they’re easy on the mind trying hard to forget

Don’t go down that trail

Hey no don’t go down that trail

If there’s a woman knows what you’re after

Gives it freely thereafter

Man you need to get led to that trail

You need to get led to that trail

If she loves you a bunch or a little

Try to meet her in the middle

Try not to let that love fail

Try not to let it fail

Good boots are mandatory

When you walk from Hell to Purgatory

Places a horse won’t go

Places a horse won’t go

Friend the Badlands are pretty in the orange sunsets

And they’re easy on the mind trying hard to forget

But don’t go down that trail

Hey don’t go down that trail

Tonight

My beautiful lady

She has a gentle need

And tonight I’m here to stay

I can’t answer for tomorrow

I only live inside today

And the lawman’s coming round

He’s trying to take me down

There ain’t no way he can find me tonight

Tonight

Tonight

Ain’t no way he can find me tonight

Tonight

Tonight

That lady has a healing touch

Tonight she takes away my pain

She don’t ask me any questions

As I lie here and listen to the rain

And that lawman is coming round

And he’s trying to take me down

There ain’t no way he can find me tonight

Tonight

Tonight

Ain’t no way he can find me tonight

Ain’t no way he can find me tonight

Still Too Hot

Well I awoke from a dream a fan fell to the floor

I had the whiskey sweats from the night before

I heard a train and remembered putting pennies on a track

To make a necklace for you in case that you come back

Well it’s just too hot to think about you today

It’s just too hot to think about you today

Still too hot to think about you tonight

Well it’s still too hot to think about you tonight

I can’t seem to cry I’ve watched too much John Wayne

Sometimes I think I should step in front of that train

Hell I’m sweating like a gravedigger

I’ve been shoveling all day

You might return baby, I’ve got to stay

It’s just too hot to think about you today

Well it’s just too hot to think about you today

Still too hot to think about you tonight

Still too hot to think about you tonight

Shadows and dreams are the color of smoke in the rainbows

And a chain of failure and fear just won’t let me go

Like a moth on the lampshade with burned wings I still want the light

And it’s still too hot to think about you tonight

It’s just too hot to think about you today

Well it’s just too hot to think about you today

Still too hot to think about you tonight

Still too hot to think about you tonight

Just too hot to think about you today

It’s just too hot to think about you today

Still too hot to think about you tonight

Thunder lightening baby

Somehow I might

Just too hot to think about you today

It’s just too hot to think about you today

Still too hot to think about you tonight
