It's friday night and I've been
Workin' all week long
After the rent all I have left
Is this old song
My baby's right beside me
We're gonna have a ball
Ain't gonna care about anything
Anything at al
I saw a garage sale
Pulled up in the yard
Found a statue of Jesus
It was eight feet tall
He held out his arms
And he seemed all alone
So I loaded him up
And drove him home
Out by my driveway he

I need a harder heart to take the place
Of this one you brake in two
Man I could use a new guitar
To play a different tune
Your trail is hot man it's still smokin'
You're gone for good baby I ain't
Who would have thought an innocent dance
Would leave two hearts with even half a chance
And who would have know after all this time
We would search and that we would find
Chorus
In a town this big in
Since I was a baby maybe two or three
Ain't nothin' ever really bothered me
Some poeple rattle at the smallest thing
I thought I could handle anything
But I'm
All wound up nothin' I can do
I get all
ANGELS we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why you
She finds her self alone more and more these days
The man she loves Is gone but the love ain't gone
away
Like drawing water up from a well beneath the
earth
She dips down in the love she's known to wash
It's bone dry and hot here in Paradise Arkansas
Never seen cracks like the cracks in this dirt
It's Uncle Cliff on the phone, but I really think
the Lord called
When he said come on down boy and I'll pu
I’m sitting here and got myself situated
between a rock and a real hard place
My name is mud and here it gets complicated
I got egg dripping all over my face
You tell me your leaving
You oughta
You pull over and I jump in
To your little red Mercedes Benz
Well I know there's no turning back
Well I don't even care where we are
I just want to be inside your car
Chorus
You can drive me wild bab
I'm back on my feet, got it straight in my mind
Don't ask how I'm doing, I'm doing just fine,
Now I got it all under control
If I acted much higher
Then you'd see I'm down so low
chorus
I keep fallin
Happy birthday baby Jesus
We just wanted You to know
We still think the whole world of You
Even when it doesn't show
Chorus
And all the angels sing
Glory to You, the King
With Your birth came new be
In a manger filled with hay
The Virgin Mother's baby lay
While shepherds stood trembling at the site
This child was the King of Kings
But God who knows and sees all things
Sent a simple man to show th
Well it seems that we've been runnin' from are
past
Life never gave us time to settle down
And you questioned whether frightened love can
last
And that ole highway song is just not where it's
at
The t
Well I get suspicious girl and I guess I shouldn't
be
Your dressin' up to kill is killin' me
When you start turnin' heads it turns me inside
out
Well I ain't a jealous man but I got a doubt
And I gotta
Your lookin' lonely
And only the lonely would know
Your thinking far from here
Would be an ideal place you could go
But the stars on the water dancin' from the sky
Makin' the way for that big one out
Standing in line at the grocery
A bunch of magazines are looking back at me
They got a Bigfoot Elvis and a UFO
Well it's on TV so it must be so
We wanna believe we take the bait
We take it hook and li
She turned up her nose as she walked by my
Cadillac
From the corner of my eye I saw you and you
laughed
You were sittin' on the swing on your front porch
Paintin' your nails like you were bored
And you
The world's full of questions you thought I had
the answers for
I see you look at the world with eyes I had before
You see in me something I never found
'Till I found you by my side
Now I never want to
Mama told me when I was three
The street'll never get you no where
You take a street car jumpin' and back beat bump
And get along like it isn't there
You hold your head up high
Like you're gonna fly
Down our long dusty driveway
I didn't wan't to go
But I set with tears in my eyes wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the school bus and his little man
and said,
Don't worry boy it will
I never thought that anyone could do me like you
do me
I never thought that love would get in the way
But there was magic in the air and there were
stars out on the water
On a moonlit night in thunder b
Movin' like a fast train
Callin' it the wild thang
Hopin' that you don't say
Well I've been denied
Lordy I've been denied
Your fever Is high
Your tossin' about
But it ain't love till twist comes to
