1. _ It's Only Money
Grandpa used to keep his money
Buried three foot deep in mason jars
He forgot more times than not
Where he left it stashed out in the yard
He told us before he died
?Boys, don't do what I did
Save enough to get you by
And go spend all the rest?
It?s only money, that's all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya
It?s only money, yeah
The waiter said, ?Our featured wine
Tonight?s a California Merlot
May I suggest the calamari
Oysters or the escargot??
She looked at me and smiled
And in those blue eyes I got lost
I said bring us one of each of them
I don't care what it costs
It?s only money, that's all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya
It?s only money, oh, it?s only money
She found that diamond bracelet
In the window of a jewelry store downtown, oh, no
She said I like the way it sparkles
As she kissed me and I pulled my wallet out, yes, I did
If it makes her happy
I don't care how much they charge
I still got a closet full of grandpa?s mason jars
It?s only money, that's all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya
It?s only money
Oh, it?s only money, that's all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can't take it with ya, so don't let it get ya
It?s only money, money, money, money
Oh, it?s only money
It?s only money
It?s only money
It?s only money, oh, it?s only money

2. _ We Can't Do It Alone
I wear this cross 'cause I believe
He shed His precious blood so I'd be saved
And daddy had to gold one just like me
But when he died he wore it to his grave
I wear this cross 'cause I believe
He shed His precious blood so I'd be saved
And daddy had a gold one just like me
But when he died he wore it to his grave
He said, 'Don't you cry, son
Cause in the long run we'll all be together again'
Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
Ain't no easy livin' so hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Just tryin' to find our way back home
You know we can't do it alone
No, no, no, no, no
Now I see the world through my child's eyes
And I wonder where it's all gonna go
Things are hard, these are troubled times
You know the devil's always tryin' to steal your soul
And the older I get, the more I see that
More love is always what we need
Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
There ain't no easy livin' so hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Jut tryin' to find our way back home
And we can't do it alone
And no one can be that strong
We can't make it on our own
Oh, we can't do it alone
Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
There ain't no easy livin' so hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Just tryin' to find our way back home
And we can't do it alone
No, no, we can't do it alone, alone, oh
No way, no way, can't make it alone
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(No, no, no, no, no)
No, no, no, no, no
(No, no, no, no, no)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
He said, 'Don't you cry, son
Cause in the long run we'll all be together again'
Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
Ain't no easy livin' so hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Jut tryin' to find our way back home
You know we can't do it alone
No, no, no, no, no
Now I see the world through my child's eyes
And I wonder where it's all gonna go
Things are hard, these are troubled times
You know the devil's always tryin' to steal your soul
And the older I get, the more I see that
More love is always what we need
Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
There ain't no easy livin' so hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Jut tryin' to find our way back home
And we can't do it alone
And no one can be that strong
We can't make it on our own
Oh, we can't do it alone
Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
There ain't no easy livin' so hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Just tryin' to find our way back home
And we can't do it alone
No, no, we can't do it alone, alone, oh
No way, no way, can't make it alone
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(No, no, no, no, no)
No, no, no, no, no
(No, no, no, no, no)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no

3. _ Friend
When I look at you these days
I think of all we've been through
You and I are one and the same
And I thank God for you
I remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again
My friend, oh, my friend
You were always here for me
And I'll be there for you
You taught me how to live my life
You're the strength that pulls me through
I remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again
My friend
So many times you were tough on me
I just didn't understand
Looking back, I realize that it made me a better man
Oh, my friend
I remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again, and do it all over again
My friend
Oh, you'll always be my friend
Now I understand
Oh, my friend
Made me a better man
Oh, my friend
Oh, you'll always be my friend
Made me a better man
Now I understand
You'll always be, be my friend

4. _ Headed South
Out on the road two hundred days a year
Blowin' smoke and grindin' gears
My bones are achin' from this northern cold
Baby's cryin' on the telephone
Momma says I've been gone too long
This whiskey I've been drinkin' along is sure gettin' old
This old highway don't seem to end
Countin' the days 'til I'm home again
Bus wheels turnin' from town to town
I wish I could set this circus down
I've had enough, I'm punchin' out
Cause this whole thing is headed south, headed south
One more night at the Eight Days Inn
I need to hold my baby again
These four damn walls are closin' in on me
Unpackin' my bags just to pack 'em again
Don't want you to see the shape I'm in
I could sure use some shade from a live oak tree
This old highway don't seem to end
Countin' the days until I'm home again
Bus wheels turnin' from town to town
I wish I could set this circus down
I've had enough, I'm punchin' out
Cause this old boy is headed south
The Sewanee River, The Mason Dixon
Her pretty face are the things I'm missin'
I'm headed south, headed south
This old highway's comin' to an end
Today's the day I'm comin' home again
Bus wheels comin' right to my town
I just set this circus down
I've had enough, I'm punchin' out
I'm comin' home, I'm headed south
Headed south, I'm headed south
I'm headed, I'm headed south
Talk to me, boys
I'm blowin' smoke, grindin' gears
Man, my bones are achin', I'm headed south
Ooh, I'm headed south, I'm headed south
Oh, I'm headed south

5. _ That Scares Me
Once I had a fortune ridin' on the shoe
Of a field goal kicker from LSU
I never broke a sweat, hell, it was just a bet
Now, I've climbed mountains and jumped from planes
Even played chicken with a couple trains
Lord, I've been a fool, I still kept my cool
I don't mind admittin' this heart of mine
Starts to pound thinkin' 'bout
The day my son starts askin' me
All about my history
The things I don't want him to know
The sex, the drugs and rock n' roll
Or the first time I watched my daughter
Climb in some boy's car as I holler
Honey, don't be late?
I swallow hard while they drive away
How sad my life without my wife would be
Now that scares me
This mornin' while I combed my hair
I found a few stray grays in there
And I laughed out loud, I guess I ain't that proud
Some people are afraid to die
But me and Jesus get along alright
I'll be okay 'cause my Judgment Day will be
The day my son starts askin' me
All about my history
The things I don't want him to know
The sex, the drugs, and rock n' roll
On the night I walked my daughter
Down the aisle in a stiff white collar
Just to hear them say
"Who gives this girl away"
And leave her standin' while I find my seat
Now that scares me
The things I don't want them to know
The sex, the drugs, and rock n' roll
And the day they call another house their home
I'm hopin' they find everything that they need
How sad my life without my wife would be
Now that scares me, oh, that scares me

6. _ My Kind of Country
I like to speak my mind
Say grace at supper time
I'm just a dot on the map
ain't scared to take a stand
For this little piece of land
Don't make me take you out back
Tattoos, sweet tea, NASCAR Sunday
Hard hat, head back to work on Monday
My kind of country
Little league, bass boats and good clean fun
That's my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
In my kind of country
I'm from the old school
Live by the golden rule
Ain't no strangers around here
I like the simple life
Sit a spell, have a bite
Honey, get that man a beer
Cornbread, collard greens, mama?s fried chicken
Blue jeans, work boots, I'm still kicking
My kind of country
Football, four-wheeling, good clean fun
That's my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
In my kind of country, yeah, that's my kind of country
We got Johnny Cash, Back in Black, Southern rock 'n' roll
.38, Skynyrd, turn up that radio
My kind of country
Camouflage, hunting dogs, good clean fun
That's my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
My kind of country
Backyard barbecue, get you some
That's my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
In my kind of country
Pick up trucks and dirt roads
Ah, the fourth of July, salute the flag
Yeah, my kind of country
That, that, that's my kind of country

7. _ Hardest Thing
He's got a mountain of bills, he's got dirt on his hands
There's been three generations that's been workin' the land
Here's his granddaddy's ghost sayin'
?Son, everyone gotta face the long hard truth?
And it might be up to you to do
The hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's hard to know
You do your best and leave the rest
To chance, fate, God or grace
Whatever gets you through
She can't stand the fear in her little boy's eyes
Dad has come home actin' crazy too many times
My mamma's on the telephone line saying
?Child, sometimes you gotta think about mournin' you?
And you might be forced to chose
The hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's hard to know
You do your best, leave the rest
To chance, fate, God or grace
Whatever gets you through, whatever gets you through
Now everybody's gonna find themselves a fork in the road
No clear direction, wondering which way to go
And it hurts like hell, your conscience burns
Any way you turn you lose
Sometimes just getting through might be
The hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's hard to know
You do your best and leave the rest
To chance, fate, God or grace
Whatever gets you through, whatever gets you through, yeah
The hardest thing
(The hardest thing, the hardest thing)
It might be your hardest thing to do, yeah
(The hardest thing, the hardest thing)
The hardest thing, the hardest thing
The hardest thing, the hardest thing
(You just might face your own truth)
The hardest thing, the hardest thing

8. _ It's All About You
I see it in your face, I know you're workin' hard
Kids screamin', phone ringin' twenty-five hours a day
Doin' what you do
You drive the kids to school, tryin' to go to work
Car stop, green light, here you go again
Hey, it's all about you
So hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin' to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Tonight it's all about you
You make our house a home, make that [?]
Sales on, coupons, baby, I can't believe
All the things that you do
I know that I've been blessed to have you in my life
I trust your love and when I give thanks
Yeah, it's all about you
So hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin' to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Tonight it's all about you
You know it's not about me
Baby, you see it's all about you
So hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin', girl, to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Oh, just hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin', girl, to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Tonight it's all about you
Baby, tonight it's all about you
Oh baby, tonight it's all about you
Yeah girl, it's just me and you
Tonight it's all about you, oh baby

9. _ These Colors Don't Run
I got old glory hangin' out in my garage
And one on the chrome post flyin' in my yard
I got a patch on my jacket says, 'A Hundred And First'
And a sticker on my bumper says, 'Don't Mess With Her'
These colors don't run, I hold them dear to my heart
With all of my might I stand up and fight for every star and every stripe
Yeah, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women
Who risk their lives for our cause, let me tell you, son
We're still number one and these colors don't run
I pledge allegiance to this nation and eagle flyin' high
I'm the first to shoot off fireworks on the 4th of July
And God bless the people who love this great land
Ah, when it comes to freedom united we stand
These colors don't run, I hold them dear to my heart
With all of my might I stand up and fight for every star and every stripe
Oh, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women
Who risk their lives for our cause, let me tell you, son
We're still number one, these colors don't run
These colors don't run, these colors don't run
Oh, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women
Who risk their lives for our cause, let me tell you, son
We're still number one, these colors don't run
We never will, we never have and you better be glad
These colors don't run

10. _ Goes Down Easy
Oh, yes sir
I don't care if it comes in a bottle
I don't care if it comes in a can
I don't care if it's stirred or shaken
Man, could you give me one for both hands?
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
Sign on the wall said, 'No Dancin' On The Tables'
She never lets the rules get in her way, no she don't
She got the whole joint jumpin' and goin' crazy
She grabbed my hand and danced me right outta the place
Out of the place
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
Might be one of those fine French wines
Might be some good ol' down home brew
Long as we get to have a good time
Most times anything will do
If it goes down easy
Yeah, it makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
Oh, that sound is sweet to me man
Sounds good
Listen here now
There are things in life that just keep gettin' better
Oh, yeah, I said no, but I guess maybe I meant yes
Hey, she insisted, so I just had to let her
When it's that smooth who really cares what anybody says, I don't
So if it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
(Keep it comin' baby, fill up my glass)
It makes you feel good
(It's kickin' in and I like it like that)
If it goes down easy
(Maybe we shouldn't, maybe we should)
It makes you feel good
(All I know is it makes you feel good)
If it goes down easy
(It makes you feel good)
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
(Oh, keep it comin' now)
If it goes down easy
(Keep it comin' baby, fill up my glass)
It makes you feel good
(It's kickin' in and I like it like that)
If it goes down easy
(Maybe we shouldn't, maybe we should)
It makes you feel good
