for Heaven's Highest Hill
I've got something good here.
just 3 or 4 would be nice
matching (roughly) the rhythm of the 'If I die tomorrow' grouping.


Heaven's Highest Hill

If I die tomorrow,
don't you know
that I'll love you still
Looking down at you
from Heaven's highest hill.

Having coffee with the angels,
I'll raise a toast to your smile,
and tell my new friend's
just how beautiful you are.


If I die tomorrow,
don't you know
that I'll love you still
Looking down at you
from Heaven's highest hill.

I won't date anyone
behind the pearly gates
I want you to live a full life
but I can't wait to be with you, again,
for not only were you my lover
you were my best friend.


If I die tomorrow,
don't you know
that I'll love you still
Looking down at you
from Heaven's highest hill.

There are parties in the streets
here on Heaven's highest hill
that are great, but all that can wait
until I hold you in my arms, again.

I look down and see you crying
I want to hold you
and one day I wlll
on Heaven's highest hill.

If I die tomorrow,
don't you know
that I'll love you still
Looking down at you
from Heaven's highest hill.

From Heaven's highest hill
I can see you,
on Heaven's highest hill,
one day I will be with you.

On Heaven's highest hill;
on Heaven's highest hill.

There is no time clock
on Heaven's highest hill
but the minutes are ticking away
until you'll be with me.

A Grown Man

If you don't really love me, babe
just turn around and walk out that door.
If you don't really love me babe,
don't be hanging your hat here, no more.

If you don't really love me.
If you don't really love me.
I can take it like a man.
If you don't really love me,
if you don't really love me.
Don't mean nothing to me.

It don't really mean nothing to me,
just turn around and walk our that door
if you don't really love me,
don't be hanging your hat here, no more.
I can take it like a man.
I can take it like a man.
A grown man dont't get down on his knees
and cry.

If you don't really love me.
If you don't really love me.
I can take it like a man.

if you don't really love me.
Don't mean nothing to me.


A grown man

just turn around and walk out that door
yeah, walk out that door
walk out that door
walk out that door
and shut that door
shut that door
shut that door
I don't want you to see me cry,
no more.
We could be lovers now
you could take me to higher ground
but you just ain't around,
you just ain't around.

I was just hanging out
you came in and out
of the restaurant.

I never thought I'd see you again.
Didn't know that we'd become friends.
I hoped that our friendship would never end.

Papa don't do no meth
he already put that to the test
tells us children
it was almost the death of him.

Brother gonna put the meth to the test
he can't listen to papa
he won't listen to papa
he got to find out for himself
he got to put it to the test

Papa don't do no meth
he already put that to the test
tells us children
it was almost the death of him.

Mother is a wreck
she seen papa put it to the test
and now she got to watch helplessy
as her son puts it to the test

Sister don't know what to do
brother just got busted
Papa don't know
Momma don't know
she feels so all alone

Papa don't do no meth
he already put that to the test
tells us children
it was almost the death of him.

Jailer got himself another piece of scum
feeds him a green bologna sandwich yum yum
Judge got another druggie to lock away
for two years in that cell you're going to stay.
Brother can't do meth while he's away.

Sister calls his job
tells them what's going down
all his boss can do is shake his head
and frown.

Papa don't do no meth
he already put that to the test
tells us children
it was almost the death of him.

You a cheater with your words

Someone turned me onto this site
that pays you to write;
I turned in my first article,
and they flagged it for "plagiarism."
What a slap in the face.
I have never plagiarized anything.
The computer that made the accusation,
now turns my article over to a human.
I will be interested to see
what he or she thinks.
I hope that their thinking is clearer
than that of their computer.
Our choice of words, or mine, are important; very important. I am slow to learn some lessons, still, but as long as I am living, I am blessed to have the near day with which to learn, and grow, and smile in. Today, I am writing things I don t really want to write, but I am learning from them. I now know how to convert a motorcycle to an electric engine, not to say that I could do it, but I do know how it is done.
