1.True Love

作詞:Vincent Grant Gill

Is today my lucky day?
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love?

If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love

True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
Only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love

I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when I turn around
I need true love

I can't quit and I won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love

True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
Only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love

Well I look at you
You look right through me
I wish that you knew
What your love's done to me

Is today my lucky day?
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love?
Yeah

True love is all I'm after
I long to hear your laughter
Only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love

It's true love
(True love is all I'm after)
It's true love
(True love is all I'm after)
It's true love
(True love is all I'm after)
It's true love
(True love is all I'm after)

2.Guitar Slinger

Well, I'm a funky low-down easy guitar slinger
Big drinker and honky-tonk and western swinger
When it comes to love then I ain't no beginner
I will drive girls crazy with just one finger

Well my daddy said 'Son you're just wastin' time
You're never ever gonna make one single dime'
It wasn't hard for me to see all I was ever gonna be
Was a guitar slinger

Well, I was living the life of a guitar slinger
Women and wine and whiskey for dinner
Oh, I knew I was in trouble the first time I seen her
I went and married that contemporary Christian singer.
Yes I did

Well now I run for home when it's closing time
I read my Holy Bible and I walk the mile
I can't wait to see what my baby's gonna do to me
A little guitar slinger

Well, there's a few licks left in this guitar slinger
Even though half of my stuff's in the Cumberland River
Well, now all I really need is just one six stringer
Yeah, I might have slowed down a little but buddy, I can still
bring her.

Hell I'ma gonna show her when it's party time
See everybody dancin' and we'll feel so fine
If y'all just show up and shift for me I swear I'll play for
free
I'll be your guitar slinger
Yeah I'll be your little guitar slinger baby


3.All Nighter Comin'

Well hold on momma, cause papa done hit the skids
Pink slip in my pocket, how we gonna feed six kids
We're going hinky tonkin', I really need to tie one on
Pour me a double, bartender, keep pouring 'till my money's all
gone

(Chorus)
I got an all nighter comin'
I got an all nighter comin'
I got an all nighter comin'
Cause I just had a long hard day

I droe a big rig diesel, I always pulled her in on time
They said, they hell with the little man, put him in the welfare
line
Well, it's a matter of time before the wolves are knocking at my
door
So me and my baby, we're headed for the ole dance floor

Repeat Chorus

Now don't you worry baby cause you can't keep a good man down
We'll pack up everybody and find ourselves a brand new town
It takes the eighteen-wheelers to make the world turn right
We're gonna keep on drinking and dancing in here tonight

Repeat Chorus twice


4.Tell Me Fool

She said she loved you
In front of God and her mother
So why you're out there
With your arms around another?

Tell me, fool, tell me, fool
What'd she ever do to you?

She had your babies
And she keeps 'em safe at night
You chase the ladies
Thinking everythin's alright

So tell me, fool, tell me, fool
What'd she ever do to you?

You made a promise
When you put on that ring
Or does your conscience
Make you feel anythin'? Hey

Well, tell me, fool, tell me, fool
What'd she ever do to you?

She keeps the fire
In this warmin' home
Waitin' all alone
Listenin' for you to hit that door

Oh, but you come bangin' in
Telling lies again
She's heard 'em all
She's heard 'em all a million times before

You think you're somethin'
The way you lie about it all
The truth is comin'
The other shoe is gonna fall, yes, it is
Yes, it is

Well, tell me, fool, tell me, fool
What'd she ever do to you?

You made a promise
When you put on that ring
Or does your conscience
Make you feel anything?

Well, tell me, fool, tell me, fool
What'd she ever do to you?

Yeah, tell me, fool, tell me, tell me, fool
What'd she ever do to you?
Tell me, fool, tell me, fool, tell me, fool
What'd she ever do to you?


5.Threaten Me With Heaven

I can see the tears upon your face, no hiding place
And you're afraid that soon I will be gone, but time will still
go on
You're searching for the answers you can't find, all in good
time

What's the worst thing that can happen,
If they say my time is through
Can they take away the love,
Or they years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that can happen,
What's the worst that they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, I believe that it's true
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

I hear angels through the window pane, calling my name
Someday when they carve my name in stone, I won't be, I won't be
alone
If by chance a miracle appears, I'll dry your tears

What's the worst thing that can happen,
If they say my time is through
Can they take away the love,
Or the years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that can happen,
What's the worst that they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, I believe that it's true
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

What's the worst thing that can happen,
What's the worst that they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, that's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, I believe that it's true,
Threaten me with Heaven, ooh, I'll be waiting on you, yes I will

Threaten me with Heaven,
Threaten me with Heaven
Threaten me with Heaven


6.When The Lady Sings The Blues

When this old world gets the, the best of me
Life don't come quite so easily
The only thing that brings a little peace to me
Is when the lady sings the blues

The worlds keep knocking on my front door
I just can't seem to pay the rent no more
The one thing that I keep longing for
Is when the lady sings the blues

Singing 'bout the hard time, standing in the silver line
Praying help is on the way
Feeling kind of helpless, hoping for some kindness
Waiting on that sunshiny day

Just when I think I'm gonna, gonna come on wild
Feels like the walls just start toppling down
The one thing that keeps me hanging around
Is when the lady sings the blues

Singing 'bout the hard time, standing in the silver line
Praying help is on the way
Feeling kind of helpless, hoping for some kindness
Waiting on that sunshiny day

'Good morning, Heartache', by Lady 'Day
'God Bless The Child', who chased my blues away
And ain't nobody's business gonna get me through
When the lady sings the blues

Ain't it nice what a little moonlight can do
When the lady sings the blues
When the lady sings the blues
When the lady sings the blues


7.Who Wouldn't Fall In Love With You

You catch every eye, girl, when you pass by
Ain't no way that you don't know
Look at the way you shine, you've got this heart of mine
Beating so it won't let go

Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
The moment you walk in the room
I know for me it'd be impossible to do
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?

Seems like you've always been everyone's best friend
The kind your folks would talk about
A smile I just can't miss, the kind you can't resist
Just one kiss, there'd be no doubt

Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
The moment you walk in the room
I know for me it'd be impossible to do
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?

Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
The moment you walk in the room
I know for me it'd be impossible to do
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?
Who wouldn't fall in love with you?


8.When Lonely Comes Around

Well every morning starts the same old way
Same story just a different day
You think of her even though she's gone
It's never easy moving on
You see her face in every picture frame
Her voice whispering your name
Only memories remain
She'll never come back again

(Chorus)
You can hide the pain
For a little while
The sunlight feels like rain
Still you try to smile
'Cause nothings gonna get you down
'Til silence is the only sound
That's when lonely comes around

Turn up the TV and the radio
Call somebody on the other coast
Stay up all night and walk around all day
Chasing a ghost away
Change your attitude and cut your hair
You try to act like you just don't care
Anything to keep her off your mind
Anyway to keep on killing time

(Repeat Chorus)

Nothing's gonna get you down
'Til silence is the only sound
That's when lonely comes around
No nothing's gonna get you down
'Til silence is the only sound
That's when lonely comes around


9.Bread And Water

One night he wandered into that old mission
The one out on the poor side of town
He really had no interest in salvation
Just a place to lay his drunk ole body down

He said, Ma'am I sure am hungry
And I don't have a penny to my name
Lord knows I hadn't worked in a month of Sundays
I'm dirty, dead broke and so ashamed

I need bread and water, ma'am that's all I need
Bread and water, and a place to rest my feet
I ain't too proud to get down on my knees
For bread and water's free

She said, you're always welcome at this table
Said, brother you look like you could use a friend
And there's no need to pay if you're not able
Cause even Jesus was a homeless Man

Well she opened up the Word and started reading
About the Savior and the woman at the well
Said it ain't for me to judge this life you're leading
There's only two things can save your soul from hell

It's bread and water, man that's all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
If you ain't too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water's free

When he bowed his head he kinda choked up
They spoke every word of Our Lord's Prayer
He closed his eyes and never woke up
He'll find bread and water waiting there

Bread and water, man that's all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet

Bread and water, man that's all you need
Bread and water, brother just believe
If you ain't too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water's free
Bread and water's free


10.Billy Paul

(Chorus)
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Was it true love or too much alcohol?
Was your back all the way against the wall?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?

You were my friend for nearly twenty years
You loved my dirty jokes and ice cold beer
Tonight my eyes are filling up with tears
Cause it'll never be the same without you here

When your picture cam across the evening news
Said they found a woman dead up in your room
Well I hit my knees and prayed it wasn't true
Man it killed me when I found out it was you

Repeat Chorus

Now I've seen you at your best and now your worst
The best of you is what I'll remember first
We'll read your momma's favorite Bible verse
And then watch you ride away in that old hearse

Well I know you're ashamed for what you done
The only choice you thought you had was just to run
Pride always gets the best of everyone
True forgiveness lies with the Father and the Son

What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Did you think you couldn't face those prison walls?
Why'd you have to go and end it all?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?

Repeat Chorus


11.The Old Lucky Diamond Motel

Out on Route 66, way back to the sticks
Out on the old Chisolm trail
Just east of El Reno next to Ted's Escondido
Sat the old Lucky Diamond Motel

Lucille and Madonna slinging cheese enchiladas
Chain smoking non-filtered Pall Malls
Old men shooting pool and cursing like fools
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

(Chorus)
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
The Queen of the old mother road
There's color TV and the kids eat for free
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

There's air streams and truckers and two timing lovers
Teenagers out raising hell
There's cowboys and shriners and old five and dimers
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

Room 23 was the first time for me
A stripper named Rita Cantrell
I spent all of my money on that sweet Spanish honey
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

Repeat Chorus

Oh the sign said, we doze but we never do close
I remember her red dress so well
Old Rita's passed on, the neon sign's gone
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

There's a big wrecking ball
Just tore down the wall, a piece of America fell
Now I'm all for progress, but god knows that I miss
The old Lucky Diamond Motel

Repeat Chorus


12.Lipstick Everywhere

There was lipstick everywhere
Lingerie on the chandelier
The smell of sin and whiskey filled the air
There was lipstick everywhere

It all started with some whiskey
We danced real close and then she kissed me
Dim lights and too much crown
She said “Please don't turn me down”

There was lipstick everywhere
A steamy, one night, love affair
We were spent but we didn't care
There was lipstick everywhere

She had just the thing I needed
A woman's love is undefeated
There ain't much a man can do
When she offers love to you

There was lipstick everywhere
It felt good just lying there
All the loneliness disappeared
There was lipstick everywhere
The smell of sin and whiskey filled the air
There was lipstick everywhere


13.One More Thing I Wished I'd Said

So many nights you let me share your bed
That note on my pillow I never read
Oh losing you will haunt me 'till I'm dead
Still I search for one more thing I wished I'd said

I tried to give you everything I could
If I could have you back, God knows I would
Oh, your name still echoes through my head
Still I search for one more thing I wished I'd said

Oh, I wish I said I loved you a million times
I wish I'd held your body closer, closer to mine
But you turned to another's arms instead
As I search for one more thing I wished I'd said

Oh, I wish I said I loved you a million times
I wish I'd held your body closer, closer to mine
But you turned to another's arms instead
While I search for one more thing I wished I'd said
What I'd give to have you back here in my bed
Still I search for one more thing I wished I'd said


14.If I Die

If I die drinking, I won't feel much pain
'Cause Lord, we all got demons that drive us all insane
I'll die just like my daddy with a bottle in my hand
So if I die drinking, that's just who I am

Well, if I die cheating in the arms of another's girl
From the fit of rage and jealousy will take me from this world
Well can't say I'd blame him, I'd prob'ly do the same
So if I die cheating, I'll live with the shame

Well if I die singing some old lonesome song
We're all drawn to heartache when someone's done you wrong
The last song I'll be playing is, 'When The Saints Go Marching
In'
So if I die singing, oh, my song will never end

If I die praying to Jesus on my knees
Everyone I've ever loved will be waiting there for me
The dirt can have my body, the Lord, he owns my soul
So if I die praying, Lord, I ain't afraid to go
If I die praying, Lord, I ain't afraid to go


15.Buttermilk John

Now Buttermilk John played the steel guitar
It made a mournful sound
From the cotton fields of Arkansas
To the streets of that Nashville town

(Chorus)
Oh John, oh John, play all night long
Play till my tears run dry
Oh John, oh John, play one last song
Before you take that final ride

Now Buttermilk John sure loved Miss Jean
She never left his side
Was the sweetest love I've ever seen
The Holy Bible was their guide

Repeat Chorus

Now Buttermilk John was a godly man
I loved him like a son
Now he's gone on to the Glory Land
With Jesus he, he will run

Repeat Chorus

Oh John, oh John, play one last song
Before you take that final ride
