Honkytonk Life lyrics - Darryl Worley
Well, I think I'm in Kansas, maybe Missouri
The truth is I really ain't sure
But I've been in this van going on fifteen hours
My back and my butt, God they hurt
There's a sign up ahead, flashing in red
From Nashville, appearing tonight
It's always the same, they misspell my name
Still I love the honkytonk life
Hey Soir, grab the guitars, and I'll get the speakers
Could somebody plug in my amp
If we hurry they'll feed us, before we go on
And I'll work it out with the man
Sometimes the beer's free and sometimes it's half price
And sometimes there's no beer at all
But me and the boys'll be making some noise
Either way ?til they give that last call
The guys will be drinkin', the girls will be dancing
Dancing up there on the bar
This joint's got an atmosphere
Blue collar, cold beer
Decidedly come as you are
I could quit all this road stuff
Go back to my real job
And put in a straight nine to five
But I love the neon
And I love the people
And I love the honkytonk life
I got a wink from a barmaid straight out of a magazine
Man, that girl's breaking my heart
Now I've got ten after, but according to tavern time
This gig is fixing to start
This crowd here is rowdier, the girls here are prettier
Than any place we've ever played
You got us boys thinking, if y'all keep on drinkin'
Tonight we might all just get... paid
The guys are all drinkin', the girls are all dancing
Dancing up there on the bar
This joint's got an atmosphere
Blue collar, cold beer
Decidedly come as you are
I could quit all this road stuff
Go back to my real job
And put in a straight nine to five
But I love the neon
And I love the people
And I love the honky tonk life
Yeah I love the neon
I love the people
And I love the honkytonk life
The truth is I really ain't sure
But I've been in this van going on fifteen hours
My back and my butt, God they hurt
There's a sign up ahead, flashing in red
From Nashville, appearing tonight
It's always the same, they misspell my name
Still I love the honkytonk life
Hey Soir, grab the guitars, and I'll get the speakers
Could somebody plug in my amp
If we hurry they'll feed us, before we go on
And I'll work it out with the man
Sometimes the beer's free and sometimes it's half price
And sometimes there's no beer at all
But me and the boys'll be making some noise
Either way ?til they give that last call
The guys will be drinkin', the girls will be dancing
Dancing up there on the bar
This joint's got an atmosphere
Blue collar, cold beer
Decidedly come as you are
I could quit all this road stuff
Go back to my real job
And put in a straight nine to five

I love the people
And I love the honkytonk life
Best Of Both Worlds lyrics - Darryl Worley
She's too complicated to ever be described
She's kinda like an angel with a wild side
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
Look at that body would you look at those eyes
She'll be everything I dream of when she loves me tonight
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
She's always gonna be there when I have a bad day
She knows how to listen knows just what to say
But there's something 'bout her touch that takes the world away
When she says nothing at all
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
She's kinda like an angel with a wild side
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
Look at that body would you look at those eyes
She'll be everything I dream of when she loves me tonight
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
She's always gonna be there when I have a bad day
She knows how to listen knows just what to say
But there's something 'bout her touch that takes the world away
When she says nothing at all
Free she sets me free
If this is tied down it's where I wanna be
She's my friend and my lover
That's my girl
I've got the best of both worlds
Slow Dancin' With A Memory lyrics - Darryl Worley
He walked into Dusty's Place last night
I said something about that boy ain't right
He drank a half a dozen double shots
Walked to the dancefloor and picked his spot
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
That's when I walked up and said are you okay
He had big old tears running down his face
He said not right now buddy can't you see
I'm slow dancing with a memory
I just waited until the song was through
I asked if there was something I could do
He said not unless you can bring her home
Then 'he stopped loving her today' came on
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
I walked back to the bar and old dusty said
We oughta throw that fool out on his head
I said why don't you let that poor man be
He's slow dancing with a memory
I hate to see somebody down that low
But that's the wau life is and the way love goes
Someday that just mights be you or me
Slow dancing with a memory
Slow dancing with a memory
I said something about that boy ain't right
He drank a half a dozen double shots
Walked to the dancefloor and picked his spot
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
That's when I walked up and said are you okay
He had big old tears running down his face
He said not right now buddy can't you see
I'm slow dancing with a memory
I just waited until the song was through
I asked if there was something I could do
He said not unless you can bring her home
Then 'he stopped loving her today' came on
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
I walked back to the bar and old dusty said
We oughta throw that fool out on his head
I said why don't you let that poor man be
He's slow dancing with a memory
I hate to see somebody down that low
But that's the wau life is and the way love goes
Someday that just mights be you or me
Slow dancing with a memory
Slow dancing with a memory
Sounds Like Life To Me lyrics - Darryl Worley
Got a call last night from an old friend’s wife
Said I hate to bother you
Johnny Ray fell off the wagon
He’s been gone all afternoon
I know my buddy so I drove to Skully’s
And found him at the bar
I say hey man, what’s going on
He said I don’t know where to start
Sarah’s old car’s about to fall apart
And the washer quit last week
We had to put momma in the nursing home
And the baby’s cutting teeth
I didn’t get much work this week
And I got bills to pay
I said I know this ain’t what you wanna hear
But it’s what I’m gonna say
[Chorus]
Sounds like life to me it ain’t no fantasy
It’s just a common case of everyday reality
Man I know it’s tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me
Well his face turned red and he shook his head
He said you don’t understand
Three kids and a wife depend on me
And I’m just one man
To top it off I just found out
That Sarah’s 2 months late
I said hey bartender set us up a round
We need to celebrate
[Chorus]
Sounds like life to me plain old destiny
Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability
Sounds like life
Man I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me
Sounds like life
Said I hate to bother you
Johnny Ray fell off the wagon
He’s been gone all afternoon
I know my buddy so I drove to Skully’s
And found him at the bar
I say hey man, what’s going on
He said I don’t know where to start
Sarah’s old car’s about to fall apart
And the washer quit last week
We had to put momma in the nursing home
And the baby’s cutting teeth
I didn’t get much work this week
And I got bills to pay
I said I know this ain’t what you wanna hear
But it’s what I’m gonna say
[Chorus]
Sounds like life to me it ain’t no fantasy
It’s just a common case of everyday reality
Man I know it’s tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me
Well his face turned red and he shook his head
He said you don’t understand
Three kids and a wife depend on me
And I’m just one man
To top it off I just found out
That Sarah’s 2 months late
I said hey bartender set us up a round
We need to celebrate
[Chorus]
Sounds like life to me plain old destiny
Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability
Sounds like life
Man I know its tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
Sounds like life to me

Doin' What's Right lyrics - Darryl Worley
The only thing that he feared was God
He was tough as nails, he didn't spare the rod
'Cause he loved us kids
Yeah, he did
Raised us up straight and strong
Said be your own man, don't you tag along
With the wrong crowd
He said, listen now
Don't you let nobody tell you what you need to do
Just listen to that voice that's talkin' deep inside of you, sayin'
Don't sell out
Don't you compromise
If it's something you believe in
Son, you may have to fight
But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right
Well, things have changed in the world today
No black and white, just shades of grey
And we know it ain't right
Taking pills to sleep at night
My old man still lives in me
And I'm seeing things that he said I'd see
But I won't give in
'Cause I remember when
He told me not to live my life for anybody else
Son, the only thing you have to do is answer to yourself, sayin'
Don't sell out
Don't you compromise
If it's something you believe in
Son, you may have to fight
But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right
He said, it may be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
And if anybody's got your back it'll be a precious few, sayin'
Don't sell out
Don't you compromise
If it's something you believe in
Son, you may have to fight
But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right
He was tough as nails, he didn't spare the rod
'Cause he loved us kids
Yeah, he did
Raised us up straight and strong
Said be your own man, don't you tag along
With the wrong crowd
He said, listen now
Don't you let nobody tell you what you need to do
Just listen to that voice that's talkin' deep inside of you, sayin'
Don't sell out
Don't you compromise
If it's something you believe in
Son, you may have to fight
But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right
Well, things have changed in the world today
No black and white, just shades of grey
And we know it ain't right
Taking pills to sleep at night
My old man still lives in me
And I'm seeing things that he said I'd see
But I won't give in
'Cause I remember when
He told me not to live my life for anybody else
Son, the only thing you have to do is answer to yourself, sayin'
Don't sell out
Don't you compromise
If it's something you believe in
Son, you may have to fight
But you can't go wrong when you're doin' what's right
He said, it may be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
And if anybody's got your back it'll be a precious few, sayin'
Don't sell out

If it's something you believe in

Tequila On Ice lyrics - Darryl Worley
I always kind of figured love would pass me by
The kind of girl I wanted wouldn’t want a guy like me
I thought that she, wouldn’t look twice
You see I‘m kinda crazy, I like the extremes
So all of my life, the girl of my dreams
Was everything nice, sugar and spice
And tequila on ice
I was looking for a saint who was a devil of a lover
But every girl I found was either one way or the other
‘Til one night at a bar when I saw her standing there
Pretty thing in blue jeans with a daisy in her hair
I walked over to her and introduced myself
Said, “Now that we know each other, if you’re not with someone else
Can I buy you a drink”
She said “Thank you I think
I’ll have tequila on ice” (and I said, “Nice”)
I was looking for a saint who was a devil of a lover
But every girl I found was either one way or the other
But this one here was different, I could see it from the start
Pretty thing in blue jeans, kinda sweet and wild at heart
I guess that’s what got me down here in Cancun
Lying in this hammock, looking at the moon up there
Stroking her hair and picking out rice
My baby’s kisses taste like sugar and spice
And tequila on ice
The kind of girl I wanted wouldn’t want a guy like me
I thought that she, wouldn’t look twice
You see I‘m kinda crazy, I like the extremes
So all of my life, the girl of my dreams
Was everything nice, sugar and spice
And tequila on ice
I was looking for a saint who was a devil of a lover
But every girl I found was either one way or the other
‘Til one night at a bar when I saw her standing there
Pretty thing in blue jeans with a daisy in her hair
I walked over to her and introduced myself
Said, “Now that we know each other, if you’re not with someone else
Can I buy you a drink”
She said “Thank you I think
I’ll have tequila on ice” (and I said, “Nice”)
I was looking for a saint who was a devil of a lover
But every girl I found was either one way or the other
But this one here was different, I could see it from the start
Pretty thing in blue jeans, kinda sweet and wild at heart
I guess that’s what got me down here in Cancun
Lying in this hammock, looking at the moon up there
Stroking her hair and picking out rice
My baby’s kisses taste like sugar and spice
And tequila on ice
Everyday Love lyrics - Darryl Worley
Girl, it hit me like a bolt right out of the blue
I was done, that was it
I was way past through
I always swore I'd never act like a lovesick fool
But these days that's all I do
From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew
This ain't no everyday love
It's a gift from the Good Lord up above
Never had a feeling feel like this one does
I need it every day
This ain't no everyday love
Ain't no everyday love
Just about the time I thought I'd felt it all, phone rang
You cried and said the doctor called
She's the sweetest thing I think I've ever seen
Red hair, blue eyes, her daddy's grin
From the moment I laid eyes on her, I was sure
This ain't no everyday love
It's a gift from the Good Lord up above
Never had a feeling feel like this one does
I need it every day
This ain't no everyday love
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
I thank Him every Sunday
This ain't no everyday love
It's a gift from the Good Lord up above
Never had a feeling feel like this one does
I need it every day
This ain't no everyday love
Ain't no everyday love
Nothing But Money lyrics - Darryl Worley
Put a man on the moon
And a kid in college
Get you four new tires
And your pickup polished
A little white house outside of the city
Or a big old chair on the House Committee
It'll put you up on top of the world
Or six feet in the ground
(It makes the world go 'round)
Money
Nothin' but money
Money
Nothin' but money
I work all day
Sweat and slave
And we break our backs for what?
Money
Nothin' but money
Just a little bitty green wrinkled piece of paper
It's a down-right bonafide force of nature
Can't buy happiness, won't buy love
And if you had it all it wouldn't be enough
It'll make you do some crazy thing
It's something we all need
(It don't grow on trees)
Money
Nothin' but money
Talkin' 'bout money
Nothin' but money
I work all day
Sweat and slave
And we break our backs for what?
Money
Nothin' but money
Money
Nothin' but money
Talkin' 'bout money
Nothin' but money
Money
Nothin' but money
Talkin' 'bout money
Nothin' but money
I work all day
Sweat and slave
And we break our backs for what?
Money
Nothin' but money
And a kid in college
Get you four new tires
And your pickup polished
A little white house outside of the city
Or a big old chair on the House Committee
It'll put you up on top of the world
Or six feet in the ground
(It makes the world go 'round)
Money
Nothin' but money
Money
Nothin' but money
I work all day
Sweat and slave
And we break our backs for what?
Money
Nothin' but money
Just a little bitty green wrinkled piece of paper
It's a down-right bonafide force of nature
Can't buy happiness, won't buy love
And if you had it all it wouldn't be enough
It'll make you do some crazy thing
It's something we all need
(It don't grow on trees)
Money
Nothin' but money
Talkin' 'bout money
Nothin' but money
I work all day
Sweat and slave
And we break our backs for what?
Money
Nothin' but money
Money
Nothin' but money
Talkin' 'bout money
Nothin' but money
Money
Nothin' but money
Talkin' 'bout money
Nothin' but money
I work all day
Sweat and slave
And we break our backs for what?

Don't Show Up (If You Can't Get Down) lyrics - Darryl Worley (feat. Bill Anderson, John Anderson, Mel Tillis & Smash Mouth)
Well, tonight there's a party in the making
And by now word is out all over town
Just one rule, the only stipulation
Don't show up
If you can't get down
We've been known to play some funky music
It never fails to always draw a crowd
We insist that everybody here be groovin'
So don't show up
If you can't get down
Come on in pretty mama
Sure feels fine
Leave your worries and your cares behind
And let us help you, baby
Turn it loose
The house is rocking girl and so are you
Come on in everybody
Sure feels fine
Leave your worries and your cares behind
Get your party on
And do your thing
You won't find a better place to hang
Man I love the way this joint is hopping
The way you're shaking it may crumble to the ground
We ain't scared
And there ain't nobody stopping
So don't show up
If you can't get down
I said
Don't show up
If you can't get down
And by now word is out all over town
Just one rule, the only stipulation
Don't show up
If you can't get down
We've been known to play some funky music
It never fails to always draw a crowd
We insist that everybody here be groovin'
So don't show up
If you can't get down
Come on in pretty mama
Sure feels fine
Leave your worries and your cares behind
And let us help you, baby
Turn it loose
The house is rocking girl and so are you
Come on in everybody
Sure feels fine
Leave your worries and your cares behind
Get your party on
And do your thing
You won't find a better place to hang
Man I love the way this joint is hopping
The way you're shaking it may crumble to the ground
We ain't scared
And there ain't nobody stopping
So don't show up
If you can't get down
I said
Don't show up
If you can't get down
Messed Up In Memphis lyrics - Darryl Worley
Home
I'm so far from home
And she's gone
I messed up in Memphis
Alone
Out here on my own
The night is young
Messed up in Memphis
Oh, there's music in the air tonight
City lights and I hear those Beale Street blues
Telling me it's gonna be alright
Let it go
You got nothing' left to lose
Oh, pain
I don't feel no pain
Messed up in Memphis
Oh, there's music in the air tonight
City lights and I hear those Beale Street blues
Telling me it's gonna be alright
Let it go
You got nothin' left to lose
Oh, glance
Just a passing glance
A second chance
Messed up in Memphis
Fire
Painted lips on fire
Love for hire
Messed up in Memphis
Love for hire
Messed up in Memphis
I'm so far from home
And she's gone
I messed up in Memphis
Alone
Out here on my own
The night is young
Messed up in Memphis
Oh, there's music in the air tonight
City lights and I hear those Beale Street blues
Telling me it's gonna be alright
Let it go
You got nothing' left to lose
Oh, pain
I don't feel no pain
Messed up in Memphis
Oh, there's music in the air tonight
City lights and I hear those Beale Street blues
Telling me it's gonna be alright
Let it go
You got nothin' left to lose
Oh, glance
Just a passing glance
A second chance
Messed up in Memphis
Fire
Painted lips on fire
Love for hire
Messed up in Memphis
Love for hire
Messed up in Memphis
You Never Know lyrics - Darryl Worley
He kissed his wife at gate number 5
Headed on another red-eye flight
Said he'd be back on the 9th and they'd find the time
To take the kids out on the coast
Do the things that really matter most
But he won't be coming home
This time
Guess you never know
You never know
In this here today and gone tomorrow
Don't be fightin' with your brother
Tell your mama that you love her
Hold your woman tight
And don't let go
'Cause you never know
So I took my own advice
And I held my woman tight
I cry about my brother's life almost every night
I think about our year-long grudge
Mama begged me to call him up
What I wouldn't give now
To go back
'Cause you never know
You never know
In this here today and gone tomorrow
Don't be fightin' with your brother
Tell your mama that you love her
Hold your woman tight
And don't let go
'Cause you never know
If you've been puttin' off forgiveness
Man, tomorrow ain't a promise
Call 'em up tonight and let it go
'Cause you never know
Headed on another red-eye flight
Said he'd be back on the 9th and they'd find the time
To take the kids out on the coast
Do the things that really matter most
But he won't be coming home
This time
Guess you never know
You never know
In this here today and gone tomorrow
Don't be fightin' with your brother
Tell your mama that you love her
Hold your woman tight
And don't let go
'Cause you never know
So I took my own advice
And I held my woman tight
I cry about my brother's life almost every night
I think about our year-long grudge
Mama begged me to call him up
What I wouldn't give now
To go back
'Cause you never know
You never know
In this here today and gone tomorrow
Don't be fightin' with your brother
Tell your mama that you love her
Hold your woman tight
And don't let go
'Cause you never know
If you've been puttin' off forgiveness
Man, tomorrow ain't a promise
Call 'em up tonight and let it go
'Cause you never know
Jumpin' Off The Wagon lyrics - Darryl Worley
I got drunk in Raleigh and I played to long
Word got back to Nashville before I got back home
The Record label said Boy you better straighten up your act
The lawyers told me son that’s what the contract say
I got good and sober and stayed that way
But still you couldn’t find a Worley record on the rack
I did everything they asked me to do
And still they wouldn’t cut me loose
Well I Ain’t bought
I’m through crawling
I’ve got lots of other people calling
No more nagging
I Ain’t bragging
But my boot heels they Ain’t dragging
I Ain’t falling
Hell I’m jumping off the wagon
I’m already feeling more like my old self
That double shot of dickle was a lot of help
Here on out, I’m just doing my own thing
Theirs something to be said about just feeling good
I’m going with my guts so baby knock on wood
If this don’t work I’ve only got myself to blame
I Ain’t into looking back
I Ain’t ever got nowhere like that
So I Ain’t calling
I’m through crawling
I’ve got lots of other people calling
No more nagging
I Ain’t bragging
But my boot heels they Ain’t dragging
I Ain’t falling
Hell I’m jumping off the wagon
I Ain’t calling
I’m through crawling
I’ve got lots of other people calling
No more nagging
I Ain’t bragging
And my boot heels they Ain’t dragging
I Ain’t falling
Hell I’m jumping off the wagon
I Ain’t jiving
Yea, I’m diving off the wagon
Word got back to Nashville before I got back home
The Record label said Boy you better straighten up your act
The lawyers told me son that’s what the contract say
I got good and sober and stayed that way
But still you couldn’t find a Worley record on the rack
I did everything they asked me to do
And still they wouldn’t cut me loose
Well I Ain’t bought
I’m through crawling
I’ve got lots of other people calling
No more nagging
I Ain’t bragging
But my boot heels they Ain’t dragging
I Ain’t falling
Hell I’m jumping off the wagon
I’m already feeling more like my old self
That double shot of dickle was a lot of help
Here on out, I’m just doing my own thing
Theirs something to be said about just feeling good
I’m going with my guts so baby knock on wood
If this don’t work I’ve only got myself to blame
I Ain’t into looking back
I Ain’t ever got nowhere like that
So I Ain’t calling
I’m through crawling
I’ve got lots of other people calling
No more nagging

But my boot heels they Ain’t dragging

Hell I’m jumping off the wagon
I Ain’t calling

Nothin' But A Love Thang lyrics - Darryl Worley
Lay down with me;
Let me ease your mind.
Don't start thinkin'..
Baby, we ain't got time,
No we ain't got time.
Hold me, baby, right up till dawn.
Hello sunshine..
Doodle, do, de, ooh, do..
Listen to the birds sing.
Feels so right, there ain't nothin' wrong.
An' it's so damn easy..
Call it what you want to,
Nothin' but a love thing.
Rock me, baby..
Take me round the world.
I'm your man an',

An' it's so damn easy..
Call it what you want to,
Nothin' but a love thing, y'all.

Free
Feels a lot better that I thought it would
Free Never knew it felt so good to be
Free to do what I wanna do
So I'm getting out on the town tonight
Gonna say good bye to you
Get on back to feeling right
Time for me to be cutting loose
Getting out of that noose
You had on me
Free
Feels a lot better that I thought it would
Free
Never knew it felt so good
Free to think what I wanna think
Free to come up with my own plan
I'm gonna get myself a big ol' drink
Celebrate being my own man
Hanging out in this redneck bar
It's all good as far as I can see.
Free
Feels a lot better than I thought it would
Free
Never knew it felt so good to be
I've been wrapped up tied down
Been lost but I found
I'm the kind of man that needs to be free
Free
Feels a lot better than I thought it would
Free
Never
knew it felt so good to be
Free
So good to be
Free
Feels a lot better that I thought it would
Free Never knew it felt so good to be
Free to do what I wanna do
So I'm getting out on the town tonight
Gonna say good bye to you
Get on back to feeling right
Time for me to be cutting loose
Getting out of that noose
You had on me

Feels a lot better that I thought it would

It's The Way You Love Me lyrics - Darryl Worley
It ain't the way you cut up and carry on
The little things flip me to a tee
It ain't the way you like to rock me al night long
Girl what really gets the best of me
It's the way you love
When you turn the lights down low
It's the way you love me
When you take it nice and slow
It's the way you touch me, feel me
Way down in the night
And everything about the way I'm feeling is right
It's the way you love me.
It's ain't the way you
Wiggle when you walk by
The way you look in everything you put on
It ain't the way you put a twinkle in my eye
Talking dirty on the telephone
It's the way you love me
When you the lights down low
It's the way you love me baby
When you take it nice and slow
It's the way you touch me, feel me
Way down in the night
And everything about the way I'm feeling is right
It's the way you love me
Seems like everything you do
Has a way of turning me on
But baby most of all
It's the way you love me
When you turn the lights down low
It's the way you love me
When you take it nice and slow
It's the way you touch me, feel me
Way down in the night
And everything about the way I'm feeling is right
It's the way you love me
The little things flip me to a tee
It ain't the way you like to rock me al night long
Girl what really gets the best of me
It's the way you love
When you turn the lights down low
It's the way you love me
When you take it nice and slow
It's the way you touch me, feel me
Way down in the night
And everything about the way I'm feeling is right
It's the way you love me.
It's ain't the way you
Wiggle when you walk by
The way you look in everything you put on
It ain't the way you put a twinkle in my eye
Talking dirty on the telephone
It's the way you love me
When you the lights down low
It's the way you love me baby
When you take it nice and slow
It's the way you touch me, feel me
Way down in the night
And everything about the way I'm feeling is right
It's the way you love me
Seems like everything you do
Has a way of turning me on
But baby most of all
It's the way you love me
When you turn the lights down low
It's the way you love me
When you take it nice and slow
It's the way you touch me, feel me
Way down in the night
And everything about the way I'm feeling is right
It's the way you love me
Party Song lyrics - Darryl Worley
Me and the boys were on the bus one night
Talking bout the way is was when times are hard
Trying to find a way
Somebody went and got a guitar out
We started passing ‘round a mason jar
I don't know how it happened
But it turned out just the way it should
This ain't nothing but a party song
The kind that makes you want to sing along
A little good old fashioned honky tonk
That's what I'm talking about
It's country music with a nasty groove
It's gonna make your sexy body move
Before you know it there ain't nothing wrong
You're in the middle of a party song
It ain't supposed to be rocket science
It ain't calculus or chemistry
Just something funky you can feel
down in your bones
It'll pick you up when you get down
Might be the universal remedy
Just take a look around this place is rockin
Like the Rolling Stones
Cause everybody loves a party song
The kind that makes you wanna sing along
A little good old fashioned honky tonk
That's what I'm talking about
Its country music with a nasty groove
It's gonna make your sexy body move
You turn around and all your blues are gone
We're gonna get you with a party song
There ain't nothing like a party
The kind that makes you wanna sing along
A little good old fashioned honky tonk
That's what I'm talking about
It's country with a nasty groove
It's gonna make your sexy body groove
I tell you people you just cant go wrong
When you all up in a party song
It'll get you high like Cheech and Chong
All you needed was party song
I like to watch you move
I like the way you groove
All you needed was a party song
That's all you needed
That's all you needed
That's all you needed was a party song
Talking bout the way is was when times are hard
Trying to find a way
Somebody went and got a guitar out
We started passing ‘round a mason jar
I don't know how it happened
But it turned out just the way it should
This ain't nothing but a party song
The kind that makes you want to sing along
A little good old fashioned honky tonk
That's what I'm talking about
It's country music with a nasty groove
It's gonna make your sexy body move
Before you know it there ain't nothing wrong
You're in the middle of a party song
It ain't supposed to be rocket science

Just something funky you can feel

It'll pick you up when you get down

Living In The Here And Now lyrics - Darryl Worley
People say I'm a crazy son of a gun
'Cause I've made me a couple million never saved a one
I don't ever buy green bananas
Don't believe I'll ever leave Savannah
I don't worry about tomorrow until it comes
[CHORUS]
I'm just living in the here and now
High on life getting by somehow
Laughing and talking and drinking it up
I ain't got enough time for thinkin' too much
Today's another beautiful day
I got the wind in my hair the sun on my face
Tomorrow can't bring me down
Cause I'm living in the here and now
My pickup runs like a top and its ten years old
My boots fit just like a glove and my beer is cold
My friends all love me just the way that I am
They're cool with the fact that I don't give a damn
Next week, next month, next year, hell who knows
[CHORUS]
I'm just living in the here and now
High on life getting by somehow
Laughing and talking and drinking it up
I ain't got enough time for thinkin' too much
Today's another beautiful day
I got the wind in my hair the sun on my face
Tomorrow can't bring me down
Cause I'm living in the here and now
Today's another beautiful day
I got the wind in my hair the sun on my face
Tomorrow can't bring me down
Cause I'm living in the here and now
'Cause I've made me a couple million never saved a one
I don't ever buy green bananas
Don't believe I'll ever leave Savannah
I don't worry about tomorrow until it comes
[CHORUS]
I'm just living in the here and now
High on life getting by somehow
Laughing and talking and drinking it up
I ain't got enough time for thinkin' too much
Today's another beautiful day
I got the wind in my hair the sun on my face
Tomorrow can't bring me down
Cause I'm living in the here and now
My pickup runs like a top and its ten years old
My boots fit just like a glove and my beer is cold
My friends all love me just the way that I am
They're cool with the fact that I don't give a damn
Next week, next month, next year, hell who knows
[CHORUS]
I'm just living in the here and now
High on life getting by somehow
Laughing and talking and drinking it up
I ain't got enough time for thinkin' too much
Today's another beautiful day

Tomorrow can't bring me down
Cause I'm living in the here and now
Today's another beautiful day
I got the wind in my hair the sun on my face
Tomorrow can't bring me down
Cause I'm living in the here and now
Do You Know What That Is lyrics - Darryl Worley
Work like a dog all day in the hay
Do you know what that is?
Five days work for one days pay
Do you know what that is?
Crops burnt up so pray for rain
And watch all your work go down the drain
It's enough to drive a man insane
Do you know what that is?
That's country man, that's the way it goes
Alot of folks never get down that road
But you read but if you don’t sew
That's country man, you don't always win
But you don't give up and you don't give in
You keep on bouncing back again
Move to the city where you don't belong
Do you know what that is?
Bet your whole life on a pray and a song
Do you know what that is?
Big wigs sitting in a black leather chair
And he's your friend when the weather's fair
First sign of rain he's outta there
Do you know what that is?
That's country man, it's a poor boy's dream
Taking your first ride in a limousine
Look at yourself on the silver screen
That's country man, it's a ruthless game
It's here one day and gone the same
Everybody's looking for the next big thing
Hey that's ok I’ll be alright
At least I can lay down to sleep at night
I don't need the hassle anyway
That's country man, that's the way it goes
Alot of folks never get down that road
But you read but if you don’t sew
That's country man, you don't always win
But you don't give up and you don't give in
You keep on bouncing back again
That's country
Every feel like you could just explode
Do you know what that is?
And you lay it down and take the high road
Do you know what that is?
Five days work for one days pay
Do you know what that is?
Crops burnt up so pray for rain
And watch all your work go down the drain
It's enough to drive a man insane
Do you know what that is?
That's country man, that's the way it goes
Alot of folks never get down that road
But you read but if you don’t sew
That's country man, you don't always win
But you don't give up and you don't give in
You keep on bouncing back again
Move to the city where you don't belong
Do you know what that is?
Bet your whole life on a pray and a song
Do you know what that is?
Big wigs sitting in a black leather chair
And he's your friend when the weather's fair
First sign of rain he's outta there
Do you know what that is?
That's country man, it's a poor boy's dream
Taking your first ride in a limousine
Look at yourself on the silver screen
That's country man, it's a ruthless game
It's here one day and gone the same
Everybody's looking for the next big thing
Hey that's ok I’ll be alright
At least I can lay down to sleep at night
I don't need the hassle anyway
That's country man, that's the way it goes
Alot of folks never get down that road
But you read but if you don’t sew
That's country man, you don't always win
But you don't give up and you don't give in
You keep on bouncing back again
That's country
Every feel like you could just explode
Do you know what that is?
And you lay it down and take the high road
Thing I'll Never Do Again lyrics - Darryl Worley
Skipping rocks across the creek
Tasting something good to eat
Feeling grass on my bare feet
And talking to a friend
Walking down a railroad track
with the wind against my back
All the things I'll never do again
[CHORUS]
Here I am behind the wall
All alone and there ain't no way out
Paying for the things I've done
And All I have is time to think about
All the things I'll never do again
Putting in a hard days work
Going fishing after church
Lover her so much it hurts
And Crying now and then
Laying down for a good nights sleep
Making love so soft and sweet
All the things I'll never do again
[CHORUS]
Here I am behind the wall
All alone and there ain't no way out
Paying for the things I've done
And All I have is time to think about
All the things I'll never do again
[musical bridge]
Warden says any last requests
I swallow hard and take one deep breath
Things I'll never do again
Tasting something good to eat
Feeling grass on my bare feet
And talking to a friend
Walking down a railroad track
with the wind against my back
All the things I'll never do again
[CHORUS]
Here I am behind the wall
All alone and there ain't no way out
Paying for the things I've done
And All I have is time to think about
All the things I'll never do again
Putting in a hard days work
Going fishing after church
Lover her so much it hurts
And Crying now and then
Laying down for a good nights sleep
Making love so soft and sweet
All the things I'll never do again
[CHORUS]
Here I am behind the wall
All alone and there ain't no way out
Paying for the things I've done
And All I have is time to think about
All the things I'll never do again
[musical bridge]
Warden says any last requests
I swallow hard and take one deep breath
Things I'll never do again
Slow Dancing With A Memory lyrics - Darryl Worley
He walked into Dusty's Place last night
I said something about that boy ain't right
He drank a half a dozen double shots
Walked to the dancefloor and picked his spot
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
That's when I walked up and said are you okay
He had big old tears running down his face
He said not right now buddy can't you see
I'm slow dancing with a memory
I just waited until the song was through
I asked if there was something I could do
He said not unless you can bring her home
Then 'he stopped loving her today' came on
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
I walked back to the bar and old dusty said
We oughta throw that fool out on his head
I said why don't you let that poor man be
He's slow dancing with a memory
I hate to see somebody down that low
But that's the wau life is and the way love goes
Someday that just mights be you or me
Slow dancing with a memory
Slow dancing with a memory
I said something about that boy ain't right
He drank a half a dozen double shots
Walked to the dancefloor and picked his spot
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
That's when I walked up and said are you okay
He had big old tears running down his face
He said not right now buddy can't you see
I'm slow dancing with a memory
I just waited until the song was through
I asked if there was something I could do
He said not unless you can bring her home
Then 'he stopped loving her today' came on
[CHORUS]
Then he closed his eyes and dropped his head
Folded his arms across his chest
Slowly started swaying side to side
I walked back to the bar and old dusty said
We oughta throw that fool out on his head
I said why don't you let that poor man be
He's slow dancing with a memory
I hate to see somebody down that low
But that's the wau life is and the way love goes
Someday that just mights be you or me
Slow dancing with a memory
Slow dancing with a memory
Whiskey Makes The World Go Round lyrics - Darryl Worley
Never was much of a drinking man
Just a good cold beer every now and then
But I met the boys last night at the Dead Dog Lounge
They talked me into a shot and I was feelin' fine
They said see what you been missing all this time
Whiskey makes the world go round
One led to another let me tell you brother
It ain't no lie I went to sleep last night
with one foot on the ground
Cause whiskey makes the world
go round and round and round and round
I came to about ten to four
I was laying on the bathroom floor
I got up but I got right back down
That old rug started moving up under my feet
I put a big bear hug on that big white seat
Whiskey makes the world go round
One led to another let me tell you brother
It ain't no lie I went to sleep last night
with one foot on the ground
Cause whiskey makes the world
go round and round and round and round
Every time I closed my eyes
the house would start to spin
I swore if I got out alive I'd never drink again
One led to another let me tell you brother
It ain't no lie I went to sleep last night
with one foot on the ground
Cause whiskey makes the world
go round and round and round and round
Just a good cold beer every now and then
But I met the boys last night at the Dead Dog Lounge
They talked me into a shot and I was feelin' fine
They said see what you been missing all this time
Whiskey makes the world go round
One led to another let me tell you brother
It ain't no lie I went to sleep last night
with one foot on the ground
Cause whiskey makes the world
go round and round and round and round
I came to about ten to four
I was laying on the bathroom floor
I got up but I got right back down
That old rug started moving up under my feet
I put a big bear hug on that big white seat
Whiskey makes the world go round
One led to another let me tell you brother
It ain't no lie I went to sleep last night
with one foot on the ground
Cause whiskey makes the world
go round and round and round and round
Every time I closed my eyes
the house would start to spin
I swore if I got out alive I'd never drink again
One led to another let me tell you brother
It ain't no lie I went to sleep last night
with one foot on the ground
Cause whiskey makes the world
go round and round and round and round
Lowdown Women lyrics - Darryl Worley
You're looking pretty snazzy
in them alligator shoes
I bet a man like you
ain't never had the blues
There ain't a lady here
looking for your kind of company
Cause lowdown woman
love a lowdown man like me
Any fool can see what you got on your mind
Don't waste your breath buddy
don't waste her time
in here you're second fiddle
and that's all you're ever gonna be
Yeah these lowdown women
love a lowdown man like me
Lowdown women need a lowdown man
Someone they can relate to
Some one who understands
Overdrawn underpaid same old daily grind
Trying to get a leg up barely getting by
So go ahead and spend your money
buying them all drinks
When she gets good and liquored up
I'll give her a wink
She already told me
come and get her when I'm ready to leave
You see lowdown women
love a lowdown man like me
Lowdown women need a lowdown man
Some one they can relate to
someone who understands
How it feels to spin your wheels
running low on luck
Hanging out in here and being one of use
So come on back and see us any time you can
Bring that credit card
And wear them funny shoes again
Don't take this personal
that ain't the way it's meant to be
Its just lowdown women
need lowdown men like me
I'll tell ya lowdown woman
love a lowdown man like me
in them alligator shoes
I bet a man like you
ain't never had the blues
There ain't a lady here

Cause lowdown woman

Nothin' To Lose lyrics - Darryl Worley
Gasoline prices are higher than ever
They line up to buy 'cause they hate going slow
Someday I might learn to ride a bicycle
But I ain't got no place to go
I pick up Cigarette butts down at Kroger
They pay ten dollars to get rid of me
Some folks spend all of their money on nothing
Hell I get my nothin' for free
I might buy me a bottle of five dollar booze
Give thanks for this shirt and this old pair of shoes
Build me a raft out of old innertubes
Shove off and go for a cruise
Hell I ain't got nothin' to lose
I used to spend all my time making money
Much in the fashion of my dear old dad
He could have taught me to ride a bicycle
Now I bet he wishes he had
I don't have on thing to take care of tonight
And I was just thinking I might
I might buy me a bottle of five dollar booze
Give thanks for this shirt and this old pair of shoes
Build me a raft out of old innertubes
Shove off and go for a cruise
Hell I ain't got nothin' to lose
I might just kick back and take me a snooze
Hell, I ain't got nothin to lose
They line up to buy 'cause they hate going slow
Someday I might learn to ride a bicycle
But I ain't got no place to go
I pick up Cigarette butts down at Kroger
They pay ten dollars to get rid of me
Some folks spend all of their money on nothing
Hell I get my nothin' for free
I might buy me a bottle of five dollar booze
Give thanks for this shirt and this old pair of shoes
Build me a raft out of old innertubes
Shove off and go for a cruise
Hell I ain't got nothin' to lose
I used to spend all my time making money
Much in the fashion of my dear old dad
He could have taught me to ride a bicycle
Now I bet he wishes he had
I don't have on thing to take care of tonight
And I was just thinking I might
I might buy me a bottle of five dollar booze
Give thanks for this shirt and this old pair of shoes
Build me a raft out of old innertubes
Shove off and go for a cruise
Hell I ain't got nothin' to lose
I might just kick back and take me a snooze
Hell, I ain't got nothin to lose
I Just Came Back From A War lyrics - Darryl Worley
The first thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground
The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hangout
Drank some beer and talked a lot about old times
But when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes
He said I don't know what it is, but you seem different to me
I said I just came back from a place where they hated me
and everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before
I just came back from a war
The very next morning I took a walk through the neighborhood
I thought it's been so long since I've been in a place where everything is good
People laughing and children were playing
And as I watched em I found myself praying
Lord keep em safe here at home in the land of the free
Cuz I just came back from a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
If I'm not same little freckled face boy
That grew up in that house next door
I just came back from a war
I hope you cherish this sweet way of life
And I hope you know that it comes with a price
I just came back from a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
Chances are I never will be the same
I really don't know anymore
I just came back from a war
I just came back from a war
[background]
You don't know me [repeated]
I just came back from a war
The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hangout
Drank some beer and talked a lot about old times
But when the booze finally hit Billy Joe Grimes
He said I don't know what it is, but you seem different to me
I said I just came back from a place where they hated me
and everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
If I'm not exactly the same good old boy that you ran around with before
I just came back from a war
The very next morning I took a walk through the neighborhood
I thought it's been so long since I've been in a place where everything is good
People laughing and children were playing
And as I watched em I found myself praying
Lord keep em safe here at home in the land of the free
Cuz I just came back from a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
If I'm not same little freckled face boy
That grew up in that house next door
I just came back from a war
I hope you cherish this sweet way of life
And I hope you know that it comes with a price
I just came back from a place where they hated me
And everything I stand for
A land where our brothers are dying for others who don't even care anymore
Chances are I never will be the same
I really don't know anymore
I just came back from a war
I just came back from a war
[background]
You don't know me [repeated]
I just came back from a war
Awful, Beautiful Life lyrics - Darryl Worley
I woke up early with a poundin' in my head
I'd been out the night before with all my friends
A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did
I said, " Lord, please forgive me for my sins."
My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first
"You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church."
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along
And made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake
We met the family for dinner at our home
Drank some beer, watched a game, and cooked some steaks
My little brother had a big fight with his wife
And my poor mother sat between'em both all night
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
We said a prayer for Cousin Michael in Iraq
We're all aware that he may never make it back
We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes
And how he loved to be a soldier more than most
I laid in bed that night and thought about the day
And how my life is like a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way
It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight
You can't really smile until you've shed some tears
I could die today or I might live on for years
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
Alright
It's a beautiful life
Awful, beautiful, life
I love this life
It's a beautiful life
I'd been out the night before with all my friends
A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did
I said, " Lord, please forgive me for my sins."
My wife wanted to kill me, but she tried to save me first
"You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church."
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
I read the hymns and kinda sorta sang along
And made it through the Sunday sermon wide awake
We met the family for dinner at our home
Drank some beer, watched a game, and cooked some steaks
My little brother had a big fight with his wife
And my poor mother sat between'em both all night
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
We said a prayer for Cousin Michael in Iraq
We're all aware that he may never make it back
We talked about the way we missed his stupid jokes
And how he loved to be a soldier more than most
I laid in bed that night and thought about the day
And how my life is like a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way
It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight
You can't really smile until you've shed some tears
I could die today or I might live on for years
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautiful life
Alright
It's a beautiful life
Awful, beautiful, life
I love this life
It's a beautiful life
If I Could Tell The Truth lyrics - Darryl Worley
If I could tell the truth, people just might see who I really am, not who I have to be.
I get so damn tired of playing by the rules.
Afraid of what I’d lose, if I could tell the truth.
Nobody wants to listen when it comes down to this.
We’d rather take the truth and twist it, than to tell it like it is.
I don’t know how we got here, there’s really no excuse.
I do it to get by, but I wouldn’t live this lie, if I could tell the truth.
If I could tell the truth, girl, we’d end up in a fight.
And I would still be wrong, and you would still be right.
We could stay right here another year or two.
But I’m already gone, if I could tell the truth.
Nobody wants to listen when it comes down to this.
We’d rather take the truth and twist it, than to tell it like it is.
I don’t know how we got here, there’s really no excuse.
I do it to get by, but I wouldn’t live this lie, if I could tell the truth.
I do it to get by, but I wouldn’t live this lie, if I could tell the truth.
I get so damn tired of playing by the rules.
Afraid of what I’d lose, if I could tell the truth.
Nobody wants to listen when it comes down to this.
We’d rather take the truth and twist it, than to tell it like it is.
I don’t know how we got here, there’s really no excuse.
I do it to get by, but I wouldn’t live this lie, if I could tell the truth.
If I could tell the truth, girl, we’d end up in a fight.
And I would still be wrong, and you would still be right.
We could stay right here another year or two.
But I’m already gone, if I could tell the truth.
Nobody wants to listen when it comes down to this.
We’d rather take the truth and twist it, than to tell it like it is.
I don’t know how we got here, there’s really no excuse.
I do it to get by, but I wouldn’t live this lie, if I could tell the truth.
I do it to get by, but I wouldn’t live this lie, if I could tell the truth.
I Love Her, She Hates Me lyrics - Darryl Worley
I was sittin’ at the bar with my buddies, discussin’ the state of the world.
Everyone had an opinion.
Then somebody turned and asked Earl.
Is the stock market gonna recover, or will it wind up in the tank?
He looked down in his glass of bourbon, he
said, “I lover her, she hates me, I drink.”
Wall Street don’t run out by my house.
I don’t put much stock in their game.
Just three things in this world concern me.
I love her, she hates, and I drink.
Well, he went back to minding his memories.
For awhile there we left him alone.
We went back to minding our business.
And the Cowboys and Packers came on.
Bill tapped old Earl on his shoulder.
He asked, “Who do you like in this game?”
He said,”For me the game’s over.
I love her, she hates me, and I drink.
You can count on a winner and a loser.
What I think don’t change a damn thing.
Just three things in this world concern me.
I love her, she hates me, and I drink.
Yeah, Wall Street don’t run out by my house.
It’s a far cry from memory lane.
Just three things in this world concern me.
I love her. God she hates me. I drink.
Everyone had an opinion.
Then somebody turned and asked Earl.
Is the stock market gonna recover, or will it wind up in the tank?
He looked down in his glass of bourbon, he
said, “I lover her, she hates me, I drink.”
Wall Street don’t run out by my house.

If Something Should Happen lyrics - Darryl Worley
Buddy you and I go way back
Camp Lejeune, all through high school, and before that.
So I don't mind tellin you I'm scared to death.
The doctor is goin in on the 25th
It's the same thing my daddy had
Thank God they caught it fast.
But if something should happen
Stop in some time and say hello to Catherine
You and Marianne could always keep her laughing
Because shes gonna need a lot of that
Take her out to a movie
It's gonna take sometime before shes back on her feet.
I know you think I'll be fine and I'm talkin crazy
But theres always that chance
That's why I'm askin
If something should happen
Little Nathan is growing up so fast
This November he'll turn 10
He wants to play quarterback.
I'm supposed to coach his team this fall
But I may not get to afterall
He's gonna need someone to catch a pass
And to throw it back
If something should happen
Oh promise me you'll take that boy out campin
Throw a line out in the water every now and then
Answer any questions that he has
Maybe once he gets older
You can sit and have that first cold beer together
And tell him a couple stories on his father
He's always known your my best friend.
That's why I'm askin
If something should happen
I hope I live until I'm 80
And I get to see my son get married
And have babies
And make a million more memories with my wife.
Yeah buddy I pray alright
But if it's my time to leave
Could you watch over them for me?
If something should happen [6x]
Camp Lejeune, all through high school, and before that.
So I don't mind tellin you I'm scared to death.
The doctor is goin in on the 25th

Work And Worry lyrics - Darryl Worley
An old mans name is Johnson
He had a mansion on a hill
A brand new car, a lumberyard
And a big ol'stack of bills
Folks around these parks say he could buy the whole damn town
But all the money in the world
Wont help poor Amos now
Work and worry
Work and worry
Yeah old man Johnson done checked out early
He spent all his time on work and worry
Work and worry
Work and worry
Yeah if you wanna leave this world in a hurry
Spend all your time on work and worry
Why can't you take it easy man
You work hard all your life
Still got time to go wait in line
Gettin to know your wife
You can pick that shovel
Till you draw your final breath
We'll make sure your tombstone reads:
"He worked himself to death"
Work and worry
Work and worry

And your eyes get blurry

If It Hadn't Been For Love lyrics - Darryl Worley
I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
I never would have seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
I would have been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn't been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be WISHING THAT I WAS FREE
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know she's lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never would have gone to that side of town
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have took a MIND TO TRACK HER DOWN
If it hadn't been for love.
I never would have loaded up a .44
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love.
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]
Four cold walls against my will.
At least I know she's lying still.
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
I never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have loaded up a .44
Put myself behind a jail house door
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
If it hadn't been for love
I never would have caught the train to Louisiana
If it hadn't been for love
Never would have run through the blinding rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
I never would have seen the trouble that I'm in
If it hadn't been for love
I would have been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn't been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn't be WISHING THAT I WAS FREE
If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
[Chorus]

Four cold walls without parole

Never would have took a MIND TO TRACK HER DOWN
If it hadn't been for love.

If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love

Was It Good For You lyrics - Darryl Worley
Now don’t you worry, baby, I won’t tell.
I’ll keep our little secret to myself.
That’s fine, no games, no strings if you say so.
But tell me just one thing before you go.
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but baby, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Ah, this ain’t gonna leave me for awhile.
Not every girl can drive a boy that wild.
Yeah, you took me places I ain’t never been.
And that’s one trip I’d love to take again. Hey…
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but honey, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Oh baby, what you did, you just can’t undo. And it was good for me.
Was it good for you? It was good for me. Say it was good for you.
Oh, was it good for you, baby? It sure was good for me.
Got a little crazy, didn’t it?
I’ll keep our little secret to myself.
That’s fine, no games, no strings if you say so.
But tell me just one thing before you go.
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but baby, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Ah, this ain’t gonna leave me for awhile.
Not every girl can drive a boy that wild.
Yeah, you took me places I ain’t never been.
And that’s one trip I’d love to take again. Hey…
Was it good for you? ‘Cause it was good for me.
Was it anything and everything you thought it’d be?
Hey, I was being bad, but honey, you were too.
And it was good for me. Was it good for you?
Oh baby, what you did, you just can’t undo. And it was good for me.
Was it good for you? It was good for me. Say it was good for you.
Oh, was it good for you, baby? It sure was good for me.
Got a little crazy, didn’t it?
Find Me lyrics - Darryl Worley
I’ve looked high and low. I’ve searched near and far.
And after all this time, still I don’t know where you are.
I’ve done all I know to do, so girl, I guess it’s up to you to…
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
At least a thousand times I’ve seen you in my dreams,
Standing there alone, just barely out of reach.
But in the early morning light I wake up again and cry.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me. Oh, find me.
And after all this time, still I don’t know where you are.
I’ve done all I know to do, so girl, I guess it’s up to you to…
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
At least a thousand times I’ve seen you in my dreams,
Standing there alone, just barely out of reach.
But in the early morning light I wake up again and cry.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me.
Find me. Baby, I’ve been waiting.
Everyday I’m praying you’ll find me, lost in all this lonely.
Longing for you only, baby, please find me.
Find me. Oh, find me.
Wake Up America lyrics - Darry Worley
Wake up America I got a problem
something you may not believe
there is poison in the darkness
spreading like a bad disease
I never thought I'd find myself in this condition
sitting by while children die from their addictions
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while they're dying in my streets.
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Wake up America I got a problem
Venom flowing thru my veins
I see families town to pieces
By crystal meth and crack cocaine
Some of those sworn to provide us with protection
Just turn their backs and cut a deal with the infection
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
all those years i gave them peaceful sanctuary
now I'm a grave yard where the innocent are buried
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Lord is there any hope out there?
Oh is there any hope out there?
wake up America I got a problem
[fading out]
I got a problem
it's like venom flowing thru my veins
something you may not believe
there is poison in the darkness
spreading like a bad disease
I never thought I'd find myself in this condition
sitting by while children die from their addictions
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while they're dying in my streets.
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Wake up America I got a problem
Venom flowing thru my veins
I see families town to pieces
By crystal meth and crack cocaine
Some of those sworn to provide us with protection
Just turn their backs and cut a deal with the infection
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
all those years i gave them peaceful sanctuary
now I'm a grave yard where the innocent are buried
[Chorus:]
I'm just a small town I have no tongue to speak
I have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets
So I have to wonder does any body care.
Lord is there any hope out there?
Lord is there any hope out there?
Oh is there any hope out there?
wake up America I got a problem
[fading out]
I got a problem
it's like venom flowing thru my veins
What Makes A Man Do That lyrics - Darryl Worley
What makes a man promise her forever
when he knows damn well that's something he can't do
why does he look into her eyes and tell her lies right off the bat
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man lay down with a stranger
when the one he loves is waiting up at home
why does he beg for trust then tear it up behind her back
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go asking for forgiveness
when he knows it's something
that he don't deserve
oh and why does he cry when she denies what he has asked
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
Lord I wonder what makes a man do that
when he knows damn well that's something he can't do
why does he look into her eyes and tell her lies right off the bat
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man lay down with a stranger
when the one he loves is waiting up at home
why does he beg for trust then tear it up behind her back
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go asking for forgiveness
when he knows it's something
that he don't deserve
oh and why does he cry when she denies what he has asked
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
what makes a man go a stray and take a chance on loosing everything
what makes a man think it's okay to play games with her heart
oh why would he take two lives and slowly drive them both off track
oh i wonder what makes a man do that
Lord I wonder what makes a man do that
Better Than I Deserve lyrics - Darryl Worley
It’s cold out this mornin’. It’s raining, it’s pourin’.
My back’s acting up, but so what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
My baby’s still mad from that fight that we had.
But her stomping around in the kitchen sure beats her leavin’.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
I’ll have all I want, but for now, hey, I don’t mind dreamin’.
‘Cause I got what I need. Got this house with some trees in the yard.
I got kids and a wife and a life I believe in.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
The wolf ain’t at my door, and I ain’t out of work.
No matter how bad it gets, someone somewhere’s got it worse.
All things considered, I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
It’s cold out this mornin’. It’s raining, it’s pourin’.
My back’s acting up, but guess what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
Oh yeah, thank ya.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
My back’s acting up, but so what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
My baby’s still mad from that fight that we had.
But her stomping around in the kitchen sure beats her leavin’.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
I’ll have all I want, but for now, hey, I don’t mind dreamin’.
‘Cause I got what I need. Got this house with some trees in the yard.
I got kids and a wife and a life I believe in.
I’m doin’ better that I deserve.
I guess I could complain, oh but things could be worse.
There’s a lot of folks out there with a lot of good reasons to curse.
All things considered I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
The wolf ain’t at my door, and I ain’t out of work.
No matter how bad it gets, someone somewhere’s got it worse.
All things considered, I’m doin’ better than I deserve.
It’s cold out this mornin’. It’s raining, it’s pourin’.
My back’s acting up, but guess what, I’m alive and I’m breathin’.
Oh yeah, thank ya.
Well, maybe someday all the debt’ll be paid off.
Whistle Dixie lyrics - Darryl Worley
I have walked greener pastures.
And I’ve made a lot of hay.
I’ve gone fast and even faster.
I’ve been lost and found my way.
Got a whole lot out of livin’, my simple southern life.
Tried to do my share of givin’, and I know my soul’s all right.
So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground.
When that cold wind comes to get me, I don’t want nobody
standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
‘Cause I’m gone to see my God. Everybody whistle Dixie.
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
There’s a peace of mind in knowin’ that some things are meant to be.
Like the way my age is showin’ and that you were made for me.
Like the sweet Savannah sunshine, and the Louisiana rain.
Things that make this life worth living and keep a man from going insane.
So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground.
When that cold wind comes to get me,
I don’t want nobody standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
‘Cause I’m gonna go to see my God. Hey everybody whistle Dixie.
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
Lord, I love the land of cotton.
Yeah, but someday I’ll say goodbye. ‘Cause there’s a better home awaitin’.
(There’s a better home awaitin’) Yeah, there’s a mansion in the sky.
Everybody whistle Dixie. (Everybody, everybody)
Oh when they lay me in the ground. (When they lay me in the ground)
When that cold wind comes to get me.
Don’t want nobody standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
(Don’t want nobody feelin’ sorry)
‘Cause I’m gone to see my God. (I’m goin’, I’m goin’)
Everybody whistle Dixie. (Everybody whistle Dixie) Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
Yeah, everybody whistle Dixie. (Everybody whistle Dixie) Just let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
(Everybody whistle Dixie, everybody)
And I’ve made a lot of hay.
I’ve gone fast and even faster.
I’ve been lost and found my way.
Got a whole lot out of livin’, my simple southern life.
Tried to do my share of givin’, and I know my soul’s all right.
So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground.
When that cold wind comes to get me, I don’t want nobody
standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
‘Cause I’m gone to see my God. Everybody whistle Dixie.
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.

So, everybody whistle Dixie, when they lay me in the ground.
When that cold wind comes to get me,
I don’t want nobody standin’ ‘round sheddin’ tears and feelin’ sorry.
‘Cause I’m gonna go to see my God. Hey everybody whistle Dixie.
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
Lord, I love the land of cotton.
Yeah, but someday I’ll say goodbye. ‘Cause there’s a better home awaitin’.
(There’s a better home awaitin’) Yeah, there’s a mansion in the sky.

Yeah, everybody whistle Dixie. (Everybody whistle Dixie) Just let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod.
(Everybody whistle Dixie, everybody)
Have You Forgotten? lyrics - Darryl Worley
I hear people saying we don't need this war
But, I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And we vowed to get the one’s behind bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yeah, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
But, I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And we vowed to get the one’s behind bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yeah, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
I Will Hold My Ground lyrics - Darryl Worley
I have never had an easy life
But I'm not complaining
It has taught me how to stand and fight
For what I believe in
I guess that's just how I was raised
I find it hard to walk away
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I try my best to get through every day
Without confrontation
Stayin' out of everybody's way
But then on occasion
Somebody steps across the line
And it's not too long before they find
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
No it's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
Yeah I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
But I'm not complaining
It has taught me how to stand and fight
For what I believe in
I guess that's just how I was raised
I find it hard to walk away
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I try my best to get through every day
Without confrontation
Stayin' out of everybody's way
But then on occasion
Somebody steps across the line
And it's not too long before they find
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
I will not back down
When you push me to the wall
Expecting me to fall
I will not give in
I am not afraid to fight
For what I know is right
I can only take so much
And when I've had enough
It's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
No it's not in my blood to just lay down
I will hold my ground
Yeah I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I will hold my ground
I Need A Breather lyrics - Darryl Worley
I got a place that I like to slip off to
When everything starts closin' in
And I got some ways that the world don't agree with
Yeah some folks would call it a sin
But I work like a dog and I'm good at my job
And I live for a one-day weekend
So I'm takin' off and I might stay a week
Hell I may never come back again
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
The people at work they think I'm a loner
But I need some time to myself
And I don't want to waste my precious vacation
Livin' for somebody else
'Cause I'll have a drink and I might fall down
And I don't think that they'd understand
I know it all sounds a little bit crazy
Well maybe that's just what I am
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Things fell apart down at the office
And I'm getting blamed for it all
I've only been back for a couple of days
And I'm already climbin' the wall
Hey I need a breather, a stiff margarita
Bring'em as fast as you can
'Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just kick back and take it all in
Yeah I got the fever, I need a breather again
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Yes I do
When everything starts closin' in
And I got some ways that the world don't agree with
Yeah some folks would call it a sin
But I work like a dog and I'm good at my job
And I live for a one-day weekend
So I'm takin' off and I might stay a week
Hell I may never come back again
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
The people at work they think I'm a loner
But I need some time to myself
And I don't want to waste my precious vacation
Livin' for somebody else
'Cause I'll have a drink and I might fall down
And I don't think that they'd understand
I know it all sounds a little bit crazy
Well maybe that's just what I am
I need a breather, a sweet senorita
Writin' my name in the sand
I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just sit back and take it all in
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Things fell apart down at the office
And I'm getting blamed for it all
I've only been back for a couple of days
And I'm already climbin' the wall
Hey I need a breather, a stiff margarita
Bring'em as fast as you can
'Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man
Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean
Just kick back and take it all in
Yeah I got the fever, I need a breather again
I got the fever and I need a breather again
Yes I do
Shiloh lyrics - Darryl Worley
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind
Breathes a whisper through the trees
As I lean against a hickory I close my eyes and I can almost see
The ghostly forms of blue and gray
And I can almost hear the cannons blast
Standin' in the presence of the past
The first few waves came cheerin'
Fear and hatred runnin' through their blood
When the day was finally over
Those left were wadin' through a crimson flood
To think I could be right here
In the spot where some young soldier breathed his last
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the sun was settin'
Looked like the South had won
Now my mouth's as dry as cotton
And my heart is beatin' fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
Sunrise caught the rebels sleepin' and they woke
To hear a Yankee bugle blow
Bullets flew like angry hornets
Till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow
It must have been like hell on earth
What happened here is more than we can grasp
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the smoke had lifted
They knew the North had won
Lord my soul feels empty
As my tears fall on this grass
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother killin' brother
Father slayin' son
From the looks of this old graveyard
Hell nobody really won
Somethin's changed inside me
It sure can happen fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind
Breathes a whisper through the trees
Breathes a whisper through the trees
As I lean against a hickory I close my eyes and I can almost see
The ghostly forms of blue and gray
And I can almost hear the cannons blast
Standin' in the presence of the past
The first few waves came cheerin'
Fear and hatred runnin' through their blood
When the day was finally over
Those left were wadin' through a crimson flood
To think I could be right here
In the spot where some young soldier breathed his last
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the sun was settin'
Looked like the South had won
Now my mouth's as dry as cotton
And my heart is beatin' fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
Sunrise caught the rebels sleepin' and they woke
To hear a Yankee bugle blow
Bullets flew like angry hornets
Till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow
It must have been like hell on earth
What happened here is more than we can grasp
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother fightin' brother
Father fightin' son
By the time the smoke had lifted
They knew the North had won
Lord my soul feels empty
As my tears fall on this grass
Standin' in the presence of the past
Brother killin' brother
Father slayin' son
From the looks of this old graveyard
Hell nobody really won
Somethin's changed inside me
It sure can happen fast
Standin' in the presence of the past
A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind
Breathes a whisper through the trees
Tennessee River Run lyrics - Darryl Worley
Worked all week, got it all done
Let's make a Tennessee River run
Hey everybody, I think the time is right
Let's get together down where the catfish bite
Cooped up all winter waitin' on a day like this
It's the way I feel when I'm rockin' on the water
Baby that I can't resist
BBQ grill, summertime jam
Just a mile above the Pickwick dam
Party on the water, whole lotta fun
Time to make a Tennessee River run
I'll get my bass boat, crank up your party barge
We'll drop these anchors out where the big boats are
Break out a cooler, pass out some ice cold beer
Look at all the people out here on the water
Man I can't believe we're here
Swingin' on a rope, gonna have a ball
Jumpin' off the Yellow Creek waterfall
Checking out the honeys baking in the sun
God bless a Tennessee River run
Doo-doo-n-dee-dee
Oh what a weekend, we've had some time to play
I should be leavin' tomorrow's a work week day
I just might call in, tell 'em that I can't get home
Does anybody else want to stay a little longer
Or am I gonna be alone?
Floatin' on a tube, gonna weigh a ton
Cajun sausage on a hot dog bun
BBQ grill, summertime jam
Just a mile above the Pickwick dam
Party on the water, whole lotta fun
Time to make a Tennessee River run
Doo-doo-n-dee-dee
Nothing like a Tennessee River run
I love a Tennessee River run
Whoop up a Tennessee River run
Let's make a Tennessee River run
Hey everybody, I think the time is right
Let's get together down where the catfish bite
Cooped up all winter waitin' on a day like this
It's the way I feel when I'm rockin' on the water
Baby that I can't resist
BBQ grill, summertime jam
Just a mile above the Pickwick dam
Party on the water, whole lotta fun
Time to make a Tennessee River run
I'll get my bass boat, crank up your party barge
We'll drop these anchors out where the big boats are
Break out a cooler, pass out some ice cold beer
Look at all the people out here on the water
Man I can't believe we're here
Swingin' on a rope, gonna have a ball
Jumpin' off the Yellow Creek waterfall
Checking out the honeys baking in the sun
God bless a Tennessee River run

Oh what a weekend, we've had some time to play

Doo-doo-n-dee-dee
Nothing like a Tennessee River run
I love a Tennessee River run
Whoop up a Tennessee River run
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles lyrics - Darryl Worley
I've been known to have a drink or two
In the comfort of my home
It helps to minimize the crazy things
I hear when I'm alone
You'd think by now that every sound
Wouldn't send her memory crashing through my brain
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
Certain little things she used to say
They come through loud and clear
It's sad but I admit I listen closer than I did
When she was here
Now every noise sounds like her voice
And I'm torn between the pleasure and the pain
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
I wouldn't mind the shackles, I knew the day she left
That I'd be wearing them until the end of time
But every day's a battle just to keep the burden of my heart
From interfering with my mind
It's knowing that I'll always have her last goodbye
Ringing in my ears, driving me insane
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
Now it seems like everytime I turn around here it comes again
Someone else is telling me about the brand new love she wound up in
I tell myself they all mean well
But I still tremble at the mention of her name
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
I wouldn't mind the shackles, I knew the day she left
That I'd be wearing them until the end of time
But every day's a battle just to keep the burden of my heart
From interfering with my mind
It's knowing that I'll always have her last goodbye
Ringing in my ears, driving me insane
I wouldn't mind the shackles
If it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
No I wouldn't mind the shackles
If it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
In the comfort of my home
It helps to minimize the crazy things
I hear when I'm alone
You'd think by now that every sound
Wouldn't send her memory crashing through my brain
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
Certain little things she used to say
They come through loud and clear
It's sad but I admit I listen closer than I did
When she was here
Now every noise sounds like her voice
And I'm torn between the pleasure and the pain
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
I wouldn't mind the shackles, I knew the day she left
That I'd be wearing them until the end of time
But every day's a battle just to keep the burden of my heart
From interfering with my mind
It's knowing that I'll always have her last goodbye
Ringing in my ears, driving me insane
I wouldn't mind the shackles if it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
Now it seems like everytime I turn around here it comes again
Someone else is telling me about the brand new love she wound up in

I wouldn't mind the shackles, I knew the day she left

From interfering with my mind
It's knowing that I'll always have her last goodbye
Ringing in my ears, driving me insane
I wouldn't mind the shackles
If it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
No I wouldn't mind the shackles
If it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
I Miss My Friend lyrics - Darryl Worley
I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
But baby most of all
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss our silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
Mmmmmmmm
I miss my friend
Mmmmmmmm
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
But baby most of all
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss our silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks
I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
Mmmmmmmm
I miss my friend
Mmmmmmmm
Callin' Caroline lyrics - Darryl Worley
I got a lot of highway to travel
I got a little lady on my mind
I'm already pullin' over callin' Caroline
I got to be in Bowling Green by mornin'
It's gonna be a lonely midnight ride
The only thing that keeps me goin' is callin' Caroline
Lord I wish this run was over
You know this old highway never ends
But I'll keep huggin' this old shoulder
Till I'm in her arms again
If I had another way to make a livin'
I would never leave that girl behind
But for now I'll keep a rollin'
Callin' Caroline
Lord I wish this run was over
You know this old highway never ends
But I'll keep huggin' this old shoulder
Till I'm in her arms again
If I had another way to make a livin'
I would never leave that girl behind
But for now I'll keep a rollin'
Callin' Caroline
Yeah for now I'll keep a rollin'
Callin' Caroline
I keep callin' Caroline
I got a little lady on my mind
I'm already pullin' over callin' Caroline
I got to be in Bowling Green by mornin'
It's gonna be a lonely midnight ride
The only thing that keeps me goin' is callin' Caroline
Lord I wish this run was over
You know this old highway never ends
But I'll keep huggin' this old shoulder
Till I'm in her arms again
If I had another way to make a livin'
I would never leave that girl behind
But for now I'll keep a rollin'
Callin' Caroline
Lord I wish this run was over
You know this old highway never ends
But I'll keep huggin' this old shoulder
Till I'm in her arms again
If I had another way to make a livin'
I would never leave that girl behind
But for now I'll keep a rollin'
Callin' Caroline
Yeah for now I'll keep a rollin'
Callin' Caroline
I keep callin' Caroline
Family Tree lyrics - Darryl Worley
Dancin' in the living room cuttin' up a rug
Dancin' with a baby looks more like a hug
Livin' in a house made of saw mill wood
"Roll over Beethoven" never sounded so good
Come on baby, baby let's go
Where we get the money honey I don't know
One more baby's alright by me
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Well raising up babies is our new sport
You're one day late and I'm a dollar short
Now maybe it was planned maybe it was a goof
But a cat just has to dance on a hot tin roof
Come on baby, baby let's go
Where we get the money honey I don't know
One more baby's alright by me
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Well the lawnmower's broken, the tax is due
And if I find another tick I'm gonna come unglued
We got hand me down clothes, hand me down shoes
We got the big belly momma here we go again blues
Come on baby, baby let's go
Where we get the money honey I don't know
One more baby's alright by me
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Baby, whoa, whoa let's go
Where we get the money I don't know
One more baby alright's by me
It's alright, it's alright now baby
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Oh we'll just add another limb to the family tree
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Dancin' with a baby looks more like a hug
Livin' in a house made of saw mill wood
"Roll over Beethoven" never sounded so good
Come on baby, baby let's go
Where we get the money honey I don't know
One more baby's alright by me
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Well raising up babies is our new sport
You're one day late and I'm a dollar short
Now maybe it was planned maybe it was a goof
But a cat just has to dance on a hot tin roof
Come on baby, baby let's go
Where we get the money honey I don't know
One more baby's alright by me
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Well the lawnmower's broken, the tax is due
And if I find another tick I'm gonna come unglued
We got hand me down clothes, hand me down shoes
We got the big belly momma here we go again blues
Come on baby, baby let's go
Where we get the money honey I don't know
One more baby's alright by me
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Baby, whoa, whoa let's go
Where we get the money I don't know
One more baby alright's by me
It's alright, it's alright now baby
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Oh we'll just add another limb to the family tree
We'll just add another limb to the family tree
Back Where I Belong lyrics - Darryl Worley
There's a little shack tucked back in the timber
It wasn't much back then but it was home
Sometimes it hurts me to remember
Just how long I've been gone
Oh how I miss the smell of mama's kitchen
And the way she used to sing those gospel songs
Right now I wish that me and dad were fishin'
So I could tell him, he was right, and I was wrong
Big city nights and lights surround me
Feels like a prison to my soul
I can hear a whippoorwill calling me home
Back where I belong
Now all the rockin' chairs are empty
I hate to think how tall the weeds have grown
I'd give back everything the good Lord gave me
If I could just go back to where I belong
Big city nights and lights surround me
Feels like a prison to my soul
I can hear a whippoorwill calling me home
Back where I belong
Back where I belong
It wasn't much back then but it was home
Sometimes it hurts me to remember
Just how long I've been gone
Oh how I miss the smell of mama's kitchen
And the way she used to sing those gospel songs
Right now I wish that me and dad were fishin'
So I could tell him, he was right, and I was wrong
Big city nights and lights surround me
Feels like a prison to my soul
I can hear a whippoorwill calling me home
Back where I belong
Now all the rockin' chairs are empty
I hate to think how tall the weeds have grown
I'd give back everything the good Lord gave me
If I could just go back to where I belong
Big city nights and lights surround me
Feels like a prison to my soul
I can hear a whippoorwill calling me home
Back where I belong
Back where I belong
The Least That You Can Do lyrics - Darryl Worley
If it's really over and there's nothing I can say
I'll do my best to hide the pain and turn and walk away
But do me one last favor and pretend you're hurting too
After all we've been through it's the least that you can do
I don't know any reason we should let the whole town know
Which one of us came up with this plan for letting go
Try to leave me just a little pride to get me through
After all I gave you it's the least that you can do
When you run into our old friends
Could you ask them how I've been
And maybe even muster up a teardrop now and then
And if they ask you how you're doing
What's it really gonna hurt
To tell a little lie and do your best to look your worst
Keep my old love letters in the closet down the hall
And leave at least one picture of me somewhere on the wall
Could you do your best impression of a sentimental fool
After all it seems like it's the least that you can do
I know it won't be long till someone else is loving you
And waking up in your arms just the way I used to
Promise me at least one time you'll call him by my name
When I'm with somebody new I'll try to do the same
If someone ever asks you why we went our seperate ways
We were just too much in love might be the thing to say
Or maybe you could tell them I was just too good for you
After all I gave you it's the least that you can do
If the shoe were on the other foot I'd do the same for you
After all we've been through it's the least that you can do
I'll do my best to hide the pain and turn and walk away
But do me one last favor and pretend you're hurting too
After all we've been through it's the least that you can do
I don't know any reason we should let the whole town know
Which one of us came up with this plan for letting go
Try to leave me just a little pride to get me through
After all I gave you it's the least that you can do
When you run into our old friends
Could you ask them how I've been
And maybe even muster up a teardrop now and then
And if they ask you how you're doing
What's it really gonna hurt
To tell a little lie and do your best to look your worst
Keep my old love letters in the closet down the hall
And leave at least one picture of me somewhere on the wall
Could you do your best impression of a sentimental fool
After all it seems like it's the least that you can do
I know it won't be long till someone else is loving you
And waking up in your arms just the way I used to
Promise me at least one time you'll call him by my name
When I'm with somebody new I'll try to do the same
If someone ever asks you why we went our seperate ways
We were just too much in love might be the thing to say
Or maybe you could tell them I was just too good for you
After all I gave you it's the least that you can do
If the shoe were on the other foot I'd do the same for you
After all we've been through it's the least that you can do
I Built This Wall lyrics - Darryl Worley
I dug this hole I'm standing in
She made it clear she ain't coming back again
I'm dying here it's dark and cold
Oh, I'm the only one to blame, I dug this hole
I made this bed I'm crying on
Just like the heart I broke in two, it's hard as stone
You can't go back once love is dead
Look at me now, I dug this hole, I made this bed
These guilty arms are empty now
They were holding someone else
When they let her down
I lost it all, my dreams and plans
See what a fool can do with just two hands
I built this wall I can't get past
It only took one night but Lord it's built to last
It's a heartache wide stands treetop tall
I dug this hole, I made this bed, I built this wall
These guilty arms are empty now
They were holding someone else
When they let her down
I lost it all, my dreams and plans
See what a fool can do with just two hands
I built this wall I can't get past
It only took one night but Lord it's built to last
It's a heartache wide stands treetop tall
I dug this hole, I made this bed, I built this wall
I dug this hole, I made this bed, I built this wall
She made it clear she ain't coming back again
I'm dying here it's dark and cold
Oh, I'm the only one to blame, I dug this hole
I made this bed I'm crying on
Just like the heart I broke in two, it's hard as stone
You can't go back once love is dead
Look at me now, I dug this hole, I made this bed
These guilty arms are empty now
They were holding someone else
When they let her down
I lost it all, my dreams and plans
See what a fool can do with just two hands
I built this wall I can't get past
It only took one night but Lord it's built to last
It's a heartache wide stands treetop tall
I dug this hole, I made this bed, I built this wall
These guilty arms are empty now
They were holding someone else
When they let her down
I lost it all, my dreams and plans
See what a fool can do with just two hands
I built this wall I can't get past
It only took one night but Lord it's built to last
It's a heartache wide stands treetop tall
I dug this hole, I made this bed, I built this wall
I dug this hole, I made this bed, I built this wall
Opportunity Of A Lifetime lyrics - Darryl Worley
Big brown eyes, soft red lips
I'm thinkin' I could get used to this
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
My heart melts when you whisper my name
I've got a feeling if you're feeling the same
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
I don't need to travel the world
Chase after rainbows, I'm telling you girl
There's so many things that I'd rather do
Like wakin' up each morning with you
We've got a chance at a real true love
We'd have to be crazy to pass it up
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
I can just see us sittin' there
Front porch swing with gray in our hair
I know it seems like a lifetime away
But we could get started today
We've got a chance at a real true love
We'd have to be crazy to pass it up
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
Oh yes-sir-ee, this could be
The opportunity of a lifetime
I'm thinkin' I could get used to this
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
My heart melts when you whisper my name
I've got a feeling if you're feeling the same
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
I don't need to travel the world
Chase after rainbows, I'm telling you girl
There's so many things that I'd rather do
Like wakin' up each morning with you
We've got a chance at a real true love
We'd have to be crazy to pass it up
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
I can just see us sittin' there
Front porch swing with gray in our hair
I know it seems like a lifetime away
But we could get started today
We've got a chance at a real true love
We'd have to be crazy to pass it up
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime
Oh yes-sir-ee, this could be
The opportunity of a lifetime
Spread A Little Love Around lyrics - Darryl Worley
Sometimes this crazy world can make us all feel bad
I sit and watch the news and just get mad
We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Talk to a neighbor
Volunteer a favor
Help out a stranger when his car's broke down
Take your wife a kissin'
When your kids talk - listen
It makes a lovely sound
Spread a little love around
You know it don't take to much to make somebody's day
A kind word or tender touch goes a long way
We can change the whole world if we start in our hometown
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Tell your mom you love her
Bear hug your brother
Treat your sister to a night out on the town
Throw the ball for Rover
Wrestle in the clover
Put a smile on that old hound
Spread a little love around
Slap your sweetheart's fanny
Tickle on old granny
Dance with the kids and act like a clown
A little tiny kiss and hug
Everybody needs that stuff
Turn a frown upside down
Spread a little love around
When this world gets you down
Spread a little love around
I sit and watch the news and just get mad
We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Talk to a neighbor
Volunteer a favor
Help out a stranger when his car's broke down
Take your wife a kissin'
When your kids talk - listen
It makes a lovely sound
Spread a little love around
You know it don't take to much to make somebody's day
A kind word or tender touch goes a long way
We can change the whole world if we start in our hometown
So get out today
Spread a little love around
Tell your mom you love her
Bear hug your brother
Treat your sister to a night out on the town
Throw the ball for Rover
Wrestle in the clover
Put a smile on that old hound
Spread a little love around
Slap your sweetheart's fanny
Tickle on old granny
Dance with the kids and act like a clown
A little tiny kiss and hug
Everybody needs that stuff
Turn a frown upside down
Spread a little love around
When this world gets you down
Spread a little love around
Pow 369 lyrics - Darryl Worley
I was flying down the highway
Weaving in and out of traffic
I was racing time
An old man pulled out in front of me
And I went crazy as can be
I lost my mind
I blew my horn till I got close enough to see
And what was on his car-tag sure convicted me
POW 369
I should slaute you from this heart of mine
And thank you for placing your life on the line
For me, I'm free
I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one
And may you take your own sweet time
Mr. POW 369
The things we take for granted
In this life we lead are tragic
We should be ashamed
He left his home and family
And cast his fate across the sea
Would we do the same
Well I sure bet he's got some stories he could tell
Ain't that many ever made it back from hell
POW 369
I should slaute you from this heart of mine
And thank you for placing your life on the line
For me, I'm free
I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one
And may you take your own sweet time
Mr. POW 369
Let me thank you one more time
Mr. POW 369

Where You Think You're Goin'? lyrics - Darryl Worley
You've packed up the cups and dishes
Loaded down the car
Hold your horses just a minute
Before you get too far
Where you think you're goin' darlin'
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
You can have the 'frigerator and the new TV
Take the pictures off the wall
That's alright by me but
Where you think you're goin' sweet pea
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
Girl, we had a good thing goin'
Now you're gonna leave
But you've got somethin' that belongs to me
Look at me now, can't you see
It's tearin' me apart
Where you think you're goin' sugar puddin'
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
If that's what you want
Is for me to just break right down
I just might do it
Girl, we had a good thing goin'
But now you're gonna leave
But you've got somethin' that belongs to me
Look at me now, can't you see
It's tearin' me apart
Where you think you're goin' honey bunny
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
Where you think you're goin' sweet cheeks
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
Come back here with that
You can't take everything
Don't you want to kiss me
Just for the good times
It's goin' be sad and lonesome here
Without you
Loaded down the car
Hold your horses just a minute
Before you get too far
Where you think you're goin' darlin'
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
You can have the 'frigerator and the new TV
Take the pictures off the wall
That's alright by me but
Where you think you're goin' sweet pea
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
Girl, we had a good thing goin'
Now you're gonna leave
But you've got somethin' that belongs to me
Look at me now, can't you see
It's tearin' me apart
Where you think you're goin' sugar puddin'
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
If that's what you want
Is for me to just break right down
I just might do it
Girl, we had a good thing goin'
But now you're gonna leave
But you've got somethin' that belongs to me
Look at me now, can't you see
It's tearin' me apart
Where you think you're goin' honey bunny
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
Where you think you're goin' sweet cheeks
Where you think you're goin' with my heart
Come back here with that
You can't take everything
Don't you want to kiss me
Just for the good times
It's goin' be sad and lonesome here
Without you
A Good Day To Run lyrics - Darryl Worley
I'm tired of working every day for a dollar
About to choke on my own blue collar
This ain't gonna last
Misled by the grand illusion
I've come to this conclusion
I can't make a move too fast
It was written in the sky today
By the morning sun it sure looks like a good day to run
Wide open down a two-lane highway
It's about time that some things went my way
Throwing troubles out to the wind and
I'm praying that they never catch up again
I'm gonna say my worrying days are done
And this looks like a good day to run
My baby's been working as a cashier
She didn't get a vacation this past year
Now it won't be long
We don't need no destination
Just a tank of gas and a good clear station
Playing our favorite song
There're some places that we ain't been
Some things we ain't done
And it sure looks like a good day to run
Wide open down a two-lane highway
It's about time that some things went my way
Throwing troubles out to the wind and
I'm praying that they never catch up again
I'm gonna say my worrying days are done
And this looks like a good day to run
About to choke on my own blue collar
This ain't gonna last
Misled by the grand illusion
I've come to this conclusion
I can't make a move too fast
It was written in the sky today
By the morning sun it sure looks like a good day to run
Wide open down a two-lane highway
It's about time that some things went my way
Throwing troubles out to the wind and
I'm praying that they never catch up again
I'm gonna say my worrying days are done
And this looks like a good day to run
My baby's been working as a cashier
She didn't get a vacation this past year
Now it won't be long
We don't need no destination
Just a tank of gas and a good clear station
Playing our favorite song
There're some places that we ain't been
Some things we ain't done
And it sure looks like a good day to run
Wide open down a two-lane highway
It's about time that some things went my way
Throwing troubles out to the wind and
I'm praying that they never catch up again
I'm gonna say my worrying days are done
And this looks like a good day to run
Who's Gonna Get Me Over You lyrics - Darryl Worley
When she walked out on me you hung around
Said you couldn't stand to see me going down
And that someday I'd forget all about her in time
You were right she's the last thing on my mind
Now you say that since I'm feeling strong again
You're leaving and you'll always be my friend
Thanks to you, I know now what love is all about
There's just one little thing that you left out
Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you
You put together all she tore apart
But somewhere along the way I lost my heart
You had me believing I could make it on my own
Right up to the moment you were gone
Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you
Said you couldn't stand to see me going down
And that someday I'd forget all about her in time
You were right she's the last thing on my mind
Now you say that since I'm feeling strong again
You're leaving and you'll always be my friend
Thanks to you, I know now what love is all about
There's just one little thing that you left out
Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you
You put together all she tore apart
But somewhere along the way I lost my heart
You had me believing I could make it on my own
Right up to the moment you were gone
Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you
Second Wind lyrics - Darryl Worley
There's an old friendly breeze that blows in the Gulf of Mexico
Somehow it always knows when I'm feeling low
So I'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around
Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah that's how I'll pass the time
Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind
There's a peace in the way I feel when the water's still
And as long as it's calm out here I've got time to kill
But as soon as it starts to stir I'll lose track of the way things were
Float away on the open air, but I'm not going anywhere
Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind
Somehow it always knows when I'm feeling low
So I'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around
Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah that's how I'll pass the time
Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind
There's a peace in the way I feel when the water's still
And as long as it's calm out here I've got time to kill
But as soon as it starts to stir I'll lose track of the way things were
Float away on the open air, but I'm not going anywhere
Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind
Too Many Pockets lyrics - Darryl Worley
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many choices and it's only getting worse
Too many things that I could do today
Too many stops along the way
I miss the way it used to be
Back when there were just two channels on T.V.
That way of life was so much easier
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things I'll never use
I'm gonna find a one-lane road
Where there's only one way I can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things I'll never use
I'm gonna find a one lane road
Where there's only one way I can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Wish I could get back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many pockets on my shirt
Too many choices and it's only getting worse
Too many things that I could do today
Too many stops along the way
I miss the way it used to be
Back when there were just two channels on T.V.
That way of life was so much easier
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things I'll never use
I'm gonna find a one-lane road
Where there's only one way I can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things I'll never use
I'm gonna find a one lane road
Where there's only one way I can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Wish I could get back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many pockets on my shirt
Those Less Fortunate Than I lyrics - Darryl Worley
I don't have a lot, but I'm proud of what I've got
I can't complain
'Cause I see people hangin' round, on the city streets downtown
Living on pocket change
There're times I've been confused, felt that I was born to lose
Oh but I survived
Unlike the one's who pray and feel more than blessed each day
To just be still alive
Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
The only hope they have will die
In the hearts of you and I if nothing's ever done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but God forbid that I just turn my head
And walk on by
Don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I
Seems that old golden rule, that I learned back in school
Has lost its shine
It's a crying shame, and I wonder could the blame
Be yours and mine
Discipline was tough, and that old principal was rough
But the times were good
'Cause no one ever found one single child shot down
In the neighborhood
Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
'Cause every day that passes by
Another street gang victim dies
And still there's nothing done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but God forbid that I just run away somewhere and hide
From the fear and the danger of those less fortunate than I
Lord don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I
I can't complain
'Cause I see people hangin' round, on the city streets downtown
Living on pocket change
There're times I've been confused, felt that I was born to lose
Oh but I survived
Unlike the one's who pray and feel more than blessed each day
To just be still alive
Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
The only hope they have will die
In the hearts of you and I if nothing's ever done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but God forbid that I just turn my head
And walk on by
Don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I
Seems that old golden rule, that I learned back in school
Has lost its shine
It's a crying shame, and I wonder could the blame
Be yours and mine
Discipline was tough, and that old principal was rough
But the times were good
'Cause no one ever found one single child shot down
In the neighborhood
Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
'Cause every day that passes by
Another street gang victim dies
And still there's nothing done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but God forbid that I just run away somewhere and hide
From the fear and the danger of those less fortunate than I
Lord don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I
When You Need My Love lyrics - Darryl Worley
Two in the morning telephone rings
Somehow I knew who it was
'Cause baby it's always the same old thing
When you need my love
You say it's over again and again
This time you've had enough
Girl I know you've been fighting with him
When you need my love
Oh I wish I could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart
He'll call tomorrow with the same ol' line
And you'll forget about us
I'll be lonely until the next time
When you need my love
Oh I wish I could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart
Now someday someone's gonna love me true
And baby when she does
Then I wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love
Yeah, then I wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love
When you need my love
When you need my love
What are you gonna do
Somehow I knew who it was
'Cause baby it's always the same old thing
When you need my love
You say it's over again and again
This time you've had enough
Girl I know you've been fighting with him
When you need my love
Oh I wish I could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart
He'll call tomorrow with the same ol' line
And you'll forget about us
I'll be lonely until the next time
When you need my love
Oh I wish I could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart
Now someday someone's gonna love me true
And baby when she does
Then I wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love
Yeah, then I wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love
When you need my love
When you need my love
What are you gonna do
Sideways lyrics - Darryl Worley
I show up for work on time at least five days a week
Punch that clock and toe the line just to make ends meet
Every day on my way home I pass them neon lights
But I been thinking all day long about stopping in tonight
I might get a little sideways
Like I did in the old days
Every once in awhile you know
I slip off the straight and narrow
Sitting down on a barstool
Cutting up like a dang fool
Now and then on Fridays
I might get a little sideways
I'm gonna call my baby up when that quitting whistle blows
Girl put on your dancing shoes and grab my party clothes
Meet me down at the rendezvous on highway seventeen
We'll stoke up that jukebox and let off a little steam
We might get a little sideways
Like we did in the old days
Every once in awhile you know
We slip off the straight and narrow
Sitting down on a barstool
Cutting up like a dang fool
Now and then on Fridays
We might get a little sideways
Punch that clock and toe the line just to make ends meet
Every day on my way home I pass them neon lights
But I been thinking all day long about stopping in tonight
I might get a little sideways
Like I did in the old days
Every once in awhile you know
I slip off the straight and narrow
Sitting down on a barstool
Cutting up like a dang fool
Now and then on Fridays
I might get a little sideways
I'm gonna call my baby up when that quitting whistle blows
Girl put on your dancing shoes and grab my party clothes
Meet me down at the rendezvous on highway seventeen
We'll stoke up that jukebox and let off a little steam
We might get a little sideways
Like we did in the old days
Every once in awhile you know
We slip off the straight and narrow
Sitting down on a barstool
Cutting up like a dang fool
Now and then on Fridays
We might get a little sideways
The Way Things Are Goin' lyrics - Darryl Worley
The way things are goin' in my life
I'm headed for disaster
Livin' fast and faster
A rebel on a roller coaster ride
That's the way things are goin' in my life
The very folks that mean the most to me
They're as distant as the sunset
I need 'em every one yet
I hurt 'em till they just can't hardly be
The very folks that mean the most to me
It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demandin'
But somehow she's still standin' here with me
If I could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess I'd pray for some serenity...but that ain't me
And the way things are goin' in my life
I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are goin' in my life
It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demandin'
But somehow she's still standin' here with me
If I could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess I'd pray for some serenity
I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are goin' in my life
Yeah, that's the way things are goin' in my life
I'm headed for disaster
Livin' fast and faster
A rebel on a roller coaster ride
That's the way things are goin' in my life
The very folks that mean the most to me
They're as distant as the sunset
I need 'em every one yet
I hurt 'em till they just can't hardly be
The very folks that mean the most to me
It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demandin'
But somehow she's still standin' here with me
If I could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess I'd pray for some serenity...but that ain't me
And the way things are goin' in my life
I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are goin' in my life
It would be easy to abandon
A man who's so demandin'
But somehow she's still standin' here with me
If I could conjure up a miracle
Find comfort in the spiritual
I guess I'd pray for some serenity
I guess it won't be long now
Oh before she's gone now
She might say goodbye just to prove me right
That's the way things are goin' in my life
Yeah, that's the way things are goin' in my life
Feels Like Work lyrics - Darryl Worley
All day long I break my back
To keep this company in the black
There's gotta be an end to all this labor
When I hear that whistle blow
I can't wait to see your smiling face and
Lose myself in your embrace
But lately every day when I walk in
Oh it feels like work again
So maybe we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again
Now life, it ain't no fairy tale
And I guess we know all too well
How sometimes it can get a little crazy
Yeah, that's the way it is
So we just keep on going
But there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
So baby we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again
Yeah, we just keep on going
'Cause there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
Yeah when it feels like work again
To keep this company in the black
There's gotta be an end to all this labor
When I hear that whistle blow
I can't wait to see your smiling face and
Lose myself in your embrace
But lately every day when I walk in
Oh it feels like work again
So maybe we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again
Now life, it ain't no fairy tale
And I guess we know all too well
How sometimes it can get a little crazy
Yeah, that's the way it is
So we just keep on going
But there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
So baby we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again
Yeah, we just keep on going
'Cause there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
Yeah when it feels like work again
Is It Just Us lyrics - Darryl Worley
Today I drove through this ol' town
Took a real good look around
Saw a lot of things I'd never seen before
An older couple holding hands
Young lovers picking out wedding bands
Things I'd never noticed
Until my eyes met yours
Now I'm seeing things I've never seen
Dreaming dreams I've never dreamed
There's been such a change in me
Since I felt your touch
Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
When you walk with your head down
All you see's the cold hard ground
But I looked up in time to catch a glimpse of you
If everyone on God's green earth
Knew true love and what it's worth
They'd know how I'm feeling
And share my point of view 'cause
Now I'm seeing things I've never seen
Dreaming dreams I've never dreamed
There's been such a change in me
Since I felt your touch
Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
Is it just us
Took a real good look around
Saw a lot of things I'd never seen before
An older couple holding hands
Young lovers picking out wedding bands
Things I'd never noticed
Until my eyes met yours
Now I'm seeing things I've never seen
Dreaming dreams I've never dreamed
There's been such a change in me
Since I felt your touch
Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
When you walk with your head down
All you see's the cold hard ground
But I looked up in time to catch a glimpse of you
If everyone on God's green earth
Knew true love and what it's worth
They'd know how I'm feeling
And share my point of view 'cause
Now I'm seeing things I've never seen
Dreaming dreams I've never dreamed
There's been such a change in me
Since I felt your touch
Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
Everywhere I go it seems folks
Can't get close enough
Is the whole world in love
Or is it just us
Is it just us
If I Could Just Be Me lyrics - Darryl Worley
I'd like to lay this old hammer down
Drive my pickup truck to town
Find a friend and just hang around
If I could just be me
Grab a bobber and my old cane pole
Spend a evenin' at the fishin' hole
Why I wouldn't hurt a soul
If I could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
But I'm not the kind of man to just go along
Now and then I need a chance to be who I am
Maybe sing a different song
I need to put my worries on a shelf
Take some time to get to know myself
I wouldn't have to be nobody else
If I could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
But I'm not the kind of man to just go along
Now and then I need a chance to be who I am
Maybe sing a different song
If I didn't have these bills to pay
If I could really have my way
I'd lay around and love on you all day
If I could just be me
If I didn't have these bills to pay
If I could just be me
If I could just be me
If I could just be me
Drive my pickup truck to town
Find a friend and just hang around
If I could just be me
Grab a bobber and my old cane pole
Spend a evenin' at the fishin' hole
Why I wouldn't hurt a soul
If I could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
But I'm not the kind of man to just go along
Now and then I need a chance to be who I am
Maybe sing a different song
I need to put my worries on a shelf
Take some time to get to know myself
I wouldn't have to be nobody else
If I could just be me
I've learned to live behind these fences
But I'm not the kind of man to just go along
Now and then I need a chance to be who I am
Maybe sing a different song
If I didn't have these bills to pay
If I could really have my way
I'd lay around and love on you all day
If I could just be me
If I didn't have these bills to pay
If I could just be me
If I could just be me
If I could just be me
Keep The Change lyrics - Darryl Worley
If you see me hold my hand over my heart
Before I start the Pledge of Allegiance
There's a reason
It's to honor those who died
And if you see me close my eyes and bow my head
Before I break bread with my family
It ain't a habit, it's important
It's my right
I work half the year for me
The other half for Uncle Sam
While he's bailin' out those sinkin' ships
And drownin' the little man
I watch the news and have to wonder
If this country's goin' crazy
Talkin' 'bout how much they love it here
But how they want to rearrange it
I'm just your Average Joe
And that makes me smart enough to know
There's a bunch of us out here
That feel the same
Wanna keep our God, our freedom
A little money in the bank
Y'all can keep the change
Now the fat cats on the hill actin' so brilliant
Ain't smart enough to notice
That we're angry
And that America's in trouble
If they don't wise-up and stop
Bustin' out the blocks that were laid
As a foundation, well, our nation
Could wake up in a pile of ruble
They say we're makin' progress
But it's a big old shame to me
Common sense ain't near as common
As it used to be
I watch the news and have to wonder
If this country's goin' crazy
Talkin' 'bout how much they love it here
But how they want to rearrange it
Well, I'm just your Average Joe
And that makes me smart enough to know
There's a bunch of us out here
That feel the same
Wanna keep our God, our freedom
A little money in the bank
Y'all can keep the change
I bet our grandpas are gettin' dizzy
Down there in their graves
Rollin' over and over
Over what's goin' on these days
I watch the news and have to wonder
If this country's goin' crazy
Talkin' 'bout how much they love it here
But how they want to rearrange it
I'm just your Average Joe
And that makes me smart enough to know
There's a bunch of us out here
That feel the same
Gonna keep our God, our freedom
A little money in the bank
Y'all can keep the change
Just keep the change
Y'all can keep the change
Before I start the Pledge of Allegiance
There's a reason
It's to honor those who died
And if you see me close my eyes and bow my head
Before I break bread with my family
It ain't a habit, it's important
It's my right

I'm just your Average Joe
And that makes me smart enough to know
There's a bunch of us out here

You Still Got It lyrics - Darryl Worley
I just called to let you know I’m buckled in my seat
On a jet airliner headed back to Tennessee
We’ve been together for years, I’m gone for one day
Girl I miss you like I did after our first date
And this crazy love, it’s strong as it ever was
Baby you still got it and I still want it, uh-huh, oh yeah
Just in case you didn’t know it, you got it goin’ on, oh yeah
I’m all yours, you’re all mine
Girl you turn me on after all this time
Baby you still got it and I still want it
So baby fire up some candles and turn the lights down low
Dial up something sexy on the radio
I got a bottle of wine, I’m almost home
Put one of those silky little nothings on
We can stay up late
We got something to celebrate.
Baby you still got it and I still want it, uh-huh, oh yeah
Just in case you didn’t know it, well you got it goin’ on, oh yeah
I’m all yours, and you’re all mine
Girl you turn me on after all this time
Baby you still got it and I still want it
Girl you got me hangin’ on your every kiss
That’s the way it was, that’s the way it is
Baby you still got it and I still want it, uh-huh, oh yeah
Just in case you didn’t know it, you got it goin’ on, oh yeah
I’m all yours, you’re all mine
Girl you turn me on after all this time
Baby you still got it and I still want it
You still got it
On a jet airliner headed back to Tennessee
We’ve been together for years, I’m gone for one day
Girl I miss you like I did after our first date
And this crazy love, it’s strong as it ever was
Baby you still got it and I still want it, uh-huh, oh yeah
Just in case you didn’t know it, you got it goin’ on, oh yeah
I’m all yours, you’re all mine
Girl you turn me on after all this time
Baby you still got it and I still want it
So baby fire up some candles and turn the lights down low
Dial up something sexy on the radio
I got a bottle of wine, I’m almost home
Put one of those silky little nothings on
We can stay up late
We got something to celebrate.
Baby you still got it and I still want it, uh-huh, oh yeah
Just in case you didn’t know it, well you got it goin’ on, oh yeah
I’m all yours, and you’re all mine
Girl you turn me on after all this time
Baby you still got it and I still want it
Girl you got me hangin’ on your every kiss
That’s the way it was, that’s the way it is
Baby you still got it and I still want it, uh-huh, oh yeah
Just in case you didn’t know it, you got it goin’ on, oh yeah
I’m all yours, you’re all mine
Girl you turn me on after all this time
Baby you still got it and I still want it
You still got it
