It’s good to see you baby, it’s been a long long while
We’re both a whole lot older, and seen a lot of miles
But thing are different now since the good ol days
And you’ve been in some trouble since we went our separate ways
We’ll have to say hello maybe some other time instead
'Cause you’re wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you’re dead
Junior Brown
Hey Charlie I almost went crazy after Mario got busted
I went back to Omaha to live with my folks
But everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison
So I came back to Minneapolis this time I think I’m gonna stay
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I’m busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I’m busted
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won’t lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The county’s gonna haul my belongings away cause I’m busted.
Oh, we ain’t got a barrel of money
Maybe we’re ragged and funny
But we travel along, singin’ our song
Side by side
I’ll give you all I’ve got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I’ve got I’ll give to you
I don’t care too much for money
Money can’t buy me love
Now look at them yo-yos, that’s the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Money for nothin’ and your chicks for free
Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain’t dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
And tell them that
You like it this way
It’s the work that we avoid
And we’re all self employed
We love to work at nothing all day
We’re busy doin’ nothin’
Workin’ the whole day through
Tryin’ to find lots of things not to do
We’re busy goin’ nowhere
Isn’t it just a crime
We’d like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
It’s a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife
But I’ve been working man, dang near all my life but I’ll keep working
Long as my two hands are fit to use
I’ll drink my beer in a tavern
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
She drove west from Salt Lake City to the California coastline.
She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour.
She had a husband on her bumper, she had five restless children.
And she was singing as sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline.
Take this job and shove it
I ain’t working here no more
Woman ran off and took all the reason
I was working for
She’s out of my life
She’s out of my life
And I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
I don’t know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She’s out of my life
She’s gone, oh I, oh I’d
Better learn how to face it
She’s gone, oh I, oh I’d
Pay the devil to replace her
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin’ out of control
You taught me the ways of desire, now it’s takin’ its toll
You’re the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
Everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s the truth
Making love to you is such a thrill
Everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s no lie
You never fail to satisfy
Let’s do it again
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser’s standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny
And it don’t matter to me
Wherever we are is where I wanna be
And Honey, for once in our life
Let’s take our chances and roll the dice
Chris Stapleton
Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When faith takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land
