Lyrics to the songs from the CD

I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH (TO BE YOUR FRIEND)

Why do we keep on dancing around
This subject we must face
Let's give up this grand illusion
Chasing rainbows round space
As the train pulled into the station
I heard my friend say

I love you too much, to be your friend
I Iove you too much, to come back and forth again
I love you too much, to even do that

We take separate vacations
To the strangest part of our minds
You want to maintain a friendly casual
I don't want it unless your'e all mine
As the train pulled into the station
The tracks mount in our eyes
I love you too much...

I SHOULD'VE PRAYED A LITTLE HARDER

Went to Biloxi gonna try my hand at luck
Lost everything I had, didn't even have time to duck
Way things been going for me
I should never walk out the door
My life's been upside down
Since you love me no more
I use to have a lucky charm that followed me around
Now the fish don't bite and my putts don't sink
treading water about to drown
When I fell asleep in church that day
I should have known there'd be a price to pay
Lost my soul when I lost you
I'm regretting it everyday

Guess I Should've Prayed A Little Harder
A little more faith in Jesus they say is all it takes
Guess I Should've Prayed A Little Harder
Maybe you'd still be here today

Ain't no use in rolling dice
or trying to play a game called love
I've got a seat reserved in the losing end
as you watch me from up above
My luck ran out on me tonight
There's no one to share this candlelight
I tried everything but I just can't win
Guess I'm losing my faith again

Used to have a lucky charm
that followed me around
Now the fish don't bite and my putts don't sink
treading water about to drown
Way things been going for me
I should never walk out the door
My life's been upside down
since you love me no more
Guess I Should've Prayed A Little Harder...

WAITING ON DEBBIE

This could have been a love song
'bout two hearts that were one
It should have a happy ending
But the story's just begun
How much does it take to
Get him off her mind
Are all good intentioned folks like me
Something time has left behind

Waiting On Debbie
Is like waiting on the world to go by
Waiting On Debbie
Is a long good-bye

Many men before me
Have played the game and lost
Thought I had a perfect hand
But you don't know what it cost
She's a woman who doesn't know
Exactly who she is
She's a woman you can't resist
But is she your's or his
(refrain)
When she does that disappearing
frame of mind
Like only she can do
When it's good it's understood
It's temporary love

Are all good intentioned folks like me
Something time has left behind

Waiting On Debbie...

MY FAVORITE HEARTACHE

Here I am alone again
Wonder what went wrong again
Loving you was more or less a roller coaster ride
I thought I had seen everything
in and out of love and then
I ran right into an awful pain
this one I can't hide

Your'e my favorite heartache
I know I've said those things before
Cause I got used to heartache
In fact I kind of liked the door
But I made one mistake with you
Now I'm learning heartache for sure

I've been a rambling boy so long
Not looking back has kept me strong
If I lost a girl I'd just write me a song and keep movin' on
I thought you were a link in a chain
That I kept pulling on
When I lost you I realized
the chain of life was gone
(refrain)

I LOVE LIFE

I can hear it in the wind
I can laugh about the rain
I can dance on all my troubles
Watch them swirl into the drain

We can live a life of worry
A life without a plan
We can search the whole world over
And never understand, but,

I Love Life, I Love Life
Some people call it having fun
I Love Life, I Love Life
Now I know it's just begun

You can see it in your mother's eye
You can taste it in her breath
You can feel it on a warm July
When lover's have no nest

You can look out over Dixie
You can make it big out west
You can see the sun come up all over
You can pick out one you like best
(refrain)

There's good bad and ugly
There's emptiness for sure
And there's a whole lot of worse things
But I won't let them thru my door
(refrain)

WATERFALL

Take off all your pretty clothes
And throw them away
For where we go you won't need those
They'll just get in your way.
Way back in your pretty head
There's a place I want to be
Step inside the waterfall
An share a dream with me

Your'e eyes are getting heavy
And your'e breathing's getting slow
I can feel your heart beating
Your body's all aglow
How long have we been waiting
To stop the world and time?
I have you where I want you
And you have me this time

Step inside the waterfall
And share a dream with me

VIRGIN OF LOVE

She walks in the midnight wearing diamonds and lace
On every corner of the block there's a night she can't erase
Her father gave her lessons in womanhood
Her brothers made damned sure she understood
She crossed that line at an early age
Never looked back never turned the page
Doesn't need an explanation
She's an "A" student of the oldest temptation
She gets one time around, might as well go in style
She ain't no Mary Poppins, she's the Queen of the Miracle Mile

She knows how to make a man
Scream with delight
But the key to her heart can't be found in the night
You'll never know her name
As you look from up above,
She's a master of sex, but a virgin of love.

She wakes up to the evening news, will she always be alone,
As she looks into the mirror, how long can she go on ?
Doesn't care about other people's labels
Can't live her kind of life waiting tables
She could fall in love and join the PTA
But she missed the boat and watched it sail away
The streets are hot tonight she's gonna turn her tricks
And show the weaker sex how to get their fix

She walks in the midnight
With the neon lights afire
A well protected secret
and a mountain of desire.
(refrain)

WASN'T IT FUNNY

Wasn't it funny how we made our scene
Burning the candles that lit our dreams
Leaving the ordinary life behind
Holding each other so close wrapped in time

Isn't it funny how we let it slip away
Isn't it funny what lovers throw away

I was the night life and you were the day
We put it together, molded like clay
A never ending playground the world was our own
Nothing could come between us, let it be known
(refrain)

You were a real part of me
I'll have to get by (I know)
How does it feel to be free
And let all this go
Wasn't it funny...

HARD LOVE

When my baby holds me, she really holds on tight
And when we kiss it's like dynamite
When she looks into my eyes each and everynight
I see the fire inside her burning bright
When we make love it's like we we really mean it

There's no holding back our hearts are in it
It's a hard love
Kind that makes your dreams come true
It's a hard love
Baby when I'm inside of you
It's a hard love from now on

I used to play around at love
Now looking back I don't know what I was thinking of
I looked high and I looked low
I guess I never knew how deep real love could go
The pressures building up since I found you
And it's exploding now I can leap right thru
(refrain)

You see when we're together it never rains
We're living together in the eye of a hurricane
And when we have to be apart
I just pull down your zipper and I touch 'a your heart.
(repeat first verse) (refrain)

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I LOVE MY TRUCK

You say I got my priorities all screwed up
So I gave up the chew I no longer spit in the cup
I gave my dog away because his odor stunk
Cleaned my fingernails now there's no more gunk

I'm refining my life all over the place
Your'e gonna be proud of me when I get good taste

I love you more than I love my truck
I love you more and more and more
Each time we touch.
I got my gears revved up and my motor's hot
I'm gonna dance on every table top
I love you more and more and more each day

You said my hairs too long and need a new pair of jeans
Went to the beauty salon now I'm looking just like James Dean
Started washing my feet and cleaning my ears
Got a new pair of pants and a shirt at Sears
I'm refining my life...(refrain)

ENDANGERED LIST

Hey, there's not too much we can do with just me and you
Hey, let's not get caught up in all of this
Don't want our love on the endangered list

Trap all the seals, kill all the whales
Shoot the spotted owl we must be fair
Chop down the trees, spray all the food
Burn down the town, I hate to seem crude
Run out the deer, drive out the mice
Spill all the oil, Let's be nice
The whole world's a mess, needs our help I guess
But we need each other, hell with the rest
(refrain)

In Bosnia theyr'e dying, Somalies can't get food
The Arabs hate each other, the Commies are dead
The ozones getting bigger, the green house is here
The rain is all acidic, and half the world is queer
The streets are not for walking, jobs are hard to find
We're living on the edge, it's all in your mind
The whole world's a mess ... (refrain)

FOREVER MY LOVE

Hold the light up closer honey I can barely see your face
Is that a tear that I see falling, it's so out of place
Thunder's clearing up outside, it's a brand new day
And all you have to think about is what I have to say

Forever my love, we'll never be apart
Wherever the moon shines it's light in our heart
Forever my love, no matter how long
This star that we're riding will carry us home

Light the candles pour the champagne
It's celebration time
Never had such a river of love flow along in perfect rhyme
Don't cast a shadow or leave a doubt of hesitation behind
We've set a course for who knows where
We'll get there in our own sweet time

Forever my love...
