We could be lovers now
you could take me to higher ground
but 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.

Have you got a dime?
Have you got a dollar?
Have you got a cigarette?
Can you help him out,
with something to eat?

Down with the Government.
Down with the Corporations.
Down with you.
Down with everything.

He's down on his luck.
The only constant is
the bottle in his hand.
He's come to see it as
his only friend.


Down with the Government.
Down with the Corporations.
Down with you.
Down with everything.

He doesn't stand for anything.
He's against everything.
There is hell, to pay,
but he hasn't got a dime,
so he breaks into your car,
commits any old crime to get by.

People feed him sandwiches,
it allows him to save
what he panhandles for his liquor.
In life you can do what you choose;
He's not going into rehab,
that's for losers.


Down with the Government.
Down with the Corporations.
Down with you.
Down with everything.

They say that there is freedom,
in letting him walk the streets.
When he comes near them,
most people look the other way.

Down with the Government.
Down with the Corporations.
Down with you.
Down with everything.

A dollar won't fix him.
A sandwich won't feed him.
His bottle won't fill him up
with what he really needs.

Down with the Government.
Down with the Corporations.
Down with you.
Down with everything.

He's hungry.
He's tired.
He's lonely.
He doesn't know what else to do
but take another swallow from his bottle.

He's hungry.
He's tired.
He's lonely.
Is this the only reality
that he will ever know?

He's hungry.
He's tired.
He's lonely.

Lately you've been showing off
and it's not me standing in front of you
I'm on the golf course
I'm at the bar with the boys
I'm sitting in front of the tv


You've got a blue chip
and you're thinking about cashing it in

I got more friends in Jesus than I do in Tennessee

John Prine is on the tv
singing sad songs to me
somebody joined the navy
came home in a body bag
with a needle in his arm,
and it made me think that,

I got more friends in Jesus
than I do in Tennessee.

Johnny Cash has passed,
nothing good lasts,
except for the smile on
Kris Kristofferson's face
when he sings, "Freedom's
just another word."

Willie Nelson still hasn't got a haircut,
and I bet he hasn't quit smoking dope.
Some people are not an image,
that is really dope, and

I got more friends in Jesus
than I do in Tennessee.

Preacher man says that I ain't
going to get into heaven
living the way that I do
I work my 45 hours
I take the kids to school
the preacher must think
that I'm a fool.

I got more friends in Jesus
than I do in Tennessee,
I got more friends in Texas
than the eye can see,
I do more good things than bad
I'm a great husband
I'm a wonderful dad
that preacher got more money in his basket
than he ever had, and

I got more friends in Jesus
than I do in Tennessee,
you can lie till your blue in the face
but you ain't gonna pull the wool over me.

I got more friends in Jesus
than I do in Tennessee,

A perfect day

It's a perfect day.
It's a perfect day.
There could be a hurricane upon us.
A tsunami could start to rush
but it's a perfect day
whenever me and you is us.

I will never leave you.
I will always believe in you.
Tomorrow will always be as good as today,
and today is a perfect day
while you and I stay together.

While I'm holding you the rain stays away.
While I'm with you the tears have no need to fall.
When I'm with you I could be broke,
but would feel like I have it all.

I will never leave you.
I will always believe in you.
Tomorrow will always be as good as today,
and today is a perfect day
while you and I stay together.

She'll love him for his paycheck

He's waving his pay check
because it's big;
he's sure it's going to attract
the attention of one he could love.

What he doesn't realize is that
she won't love him,
she'll love him for his paycheck.

He's got a big house,
and two nice cars,
that he bought with his paycheck,
got a kid on the way.

And down the street is a man
with a bigger paycheck,
who is waving his paycheck
at the woman who loves big paychecks.

He's waving his pay check
because it's big;
he's sure it's going to attract
the attention of one he could love.

One day he comes home,
and his love is gone.
She left a note that said, "Come on,
you just don't make enough."

One of the cars is gone,
and she wants half of the rest,
it just goes to show
that a big paycheck can
put love to the test, if that's how
you attract love to the nest.

One day he comes home,
and his love is gone.
She left a note that said, "Come on,
you just don't make enough."
