No Stranger To Shame

I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it...

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

Ain't it great to be alive
Ain't it great to breathe
Ain't it great to have hit songs hidden up my sleeves
I ain't silly and my songs ain't cute
I don't fly like a bird I just shine for loot...uh!

You can believe I ain't close to done
You talk hits, you've never been close to one
You ain't supposed to run, you can tell them I said that
Quick from the get, you know my hearts where my heads at

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it,..

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

Spent the last six months sittin' out in the cold
You know I cried for help but I got put on hold
We dropped Doublewide and you thought it would fold
It wasn't lookin' good, but now your uncle went Gold
Sold five hundred thou like PLOW
Pushed one million everybody went HOW?
Now I'm TWO PLUS...sittin' TWO PLUSH
I dare your punk ass to ask me WHAT?
I sold the farm and bought it right back
I was sittin' in the red but now I'm back in the black...uh!
I'm in tact went from broke to plastic
All my hoopties turned into classics

I've outlasted singin' Yes Yes Y'all
Got em' all kinda hopin' I'll return their calls
And just when you thought that there was nothin' to see
You heard me comin' around the corner hummin'..Follow Me
And here I am, I'm live and direct
I'm makin' everybody wonder what I'm gonna do next
I don't flex because that's not my style
I'll be singin' what I'm bringin' baby all the while and I...

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it,..

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

I'm sending this letter
I'll mail it today
There's so many things I've been wanting to say
Your mom sent some pictures
And my how you've grown
Rock n roll fathers are never at home

I'm writing this letter
I made you a song
I promised your mom that I'd write while I'm gone
You say daddy come home
Well you'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late

Skylar I just missed your first step today
I have no excuses and nothing to say
I live on a bus with a rock n roll band
I hope when your older that you'll understand

I'm coming home soon
This tour's almost through
I promise I'll try to spend more time with you
You say daddy come home
You'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late

Now Madison Blue you know I love you too
Not a single day passes that I don't think of you
I'm running on empty and a mountain so high
I can pull out your pictures and look in your eyes

I long for the day when your old man comes home
It kills me to hear you say daddy don't go
You say daddy come home
You'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late

Daddy's at work now he's trying to pay bills
Ego's and assholes are part of my deal
I make some money and I have some fun
The tax man he cometh and I'm back to square one

Don't worry bout your daddy
You girls be good
Give a kiss to your mother
I sure wish I could
This life has it's moments
I'm not always sad
Take care and I love you
Your rock n roll dad

I know a cabin down there in Tennessee
Where you can't find the forest on account of the trees
And Old Perry Foster he got something to say
And you can smell the pigs cuz' they been cookin' all day

[CHORUS]

I don't need no critics
I don't need no suits
I just need somebody who can tell me the truth
You can keep your opinions
You can keep on walkin'
I'm gonna raise my glass yeah to Thunderhead Hawkins

[REPEAT TWICE]

Miss Mary Jane she always looks like a star
But the rock n roll banker likes to sleep in his car
You won't hear no opry you'll hear six strings
And you won't know what to do when you hear Thunderhead sing

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Now Mr. Hawkins got a family tree
He got that their legendary cabin down in Tennessee
You know he'll hook up that guitar everybody gather round
You stay close to the fire when the sun goes down
Old Brother Merle he's always waiting in the wings
Only man up in them woods wearin' all them gold rings
Old Mr. Hawkins he won't do nobody wrong
But he'll he'll tear your heart out with one sad song

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Lookin' back on everything
And all the things that stay
I can count on memories
Cuz they don't go away
Good times were hard to hold
Until she came along
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

I'm not always there I know
But she don't mind at all
As pretty as a picture that hangs on my own wall
She's like Mississippi

When the sun comes up at dawn
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right
She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

She don't care what the game is
She's always down to play
My world without her seems a million miles away
She don't have to worry
I know where I belong
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

I've been dealt some aces
And I've played them all the same
But she's the only one that keeps me in the game
No fame or fortune could ever keep me gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right
She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

[BRIDGE]
There's a magic down in Memphis
That never seems to fade
Even now them voices carry
Like a lonely serenade
It's the memories that still and always will be on my mind
They move me every time

She see's the good in everything there is to see
Sometimes I wonder what she ever see's in me
I'm not always right you know
But she's never led me wrong
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

In all my travels I've never found a way
To find the words that say the things I'd like to say
I've sang some melodies but she's my favorite one
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right

She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

I'm nothing fancy
I'm nothing special that's true
But I know what your thinkin'
Cuz I'm thinkin' that same thing too
Now you'd like everything to go your way
And I should probably say everything you'd like me to say
But that's not me and baby that just wouldn't be you
You better watch how long you wait
Cuz baby you might wait too long

[CHORUS]
I don't know if I could make you happy
And I don't know if I could make you cry
I don't know if the clock stops at midnight
I can't see past forever but together we can fly
Together we can fly

Now let's pretend for a while that we've got no place to be
You've been broken before but baby that wasn't me
Now I'm trying to ask you to come
To that same old place that you've been runnin' from
We've been down that road
You know there's nothing to see
You better watch how long you wait
Cuz baby you might wait too

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Bay there' no use in waiting
I can see that your hopes are fading
They tell me that time is precious baby
Why do you keep wastin' time?

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[Chorus]

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

I've been lost in Boston, Austin Texas is always sweet
I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street
You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away
And it seems I spent a lifetime tryin' to make everything ok

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

I wish sometimes that I could say she never told me so
And I'd walk a million miles on down the same old broken road
Now you can always reap just what you sew I know that's true
And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet won't fit these shoes

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

If I listened closely I can hear it oh so clear
Like a south bound train like fallin' rain like a whisper in my ear
Everything I'd like to hear you know I don't hear much no more
But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right thru that door

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
