No More Surprised - 8/10/10

You and I bought a little old boat,
And we put it in the water and the boat did float.
No more surprised that the boat did float,
Than that I'll keep lovin' you.

You and I bought a little new car,
And we put it on the road and went real far.
No more surprised we could go so far,
Than that I'll keep lovin' you.

You and I went swimmin' in the sea,
And the water was salty, like the sea.
No more surprised at the salty sea,
Than that I'll keep lovin' you.

You and I went walkin' in the rain,
And our clothes got wet, just like the rain.
No more surprised that the sky might rain,
Than that I'll keep lovin' you.

You and I have seen the moon come up,
Over lakes and hills from the pickup truck.
No more surprised that the moon comes up,
Than that I'll keep lovin' you.

A Matter of the Heart - 2/23/10

Flicking through the radio,
Landed on a Spanish show.
It seems like every other song,
They use this word, "corazon."

Asked mi amigo what it meant,
Said, "There's a universal bent,
In any language with a song,
You've got to use some corazon."

It's a matter of the heart.
There's no other body part
That makes a person sing about it, sayin'
"Hey, consider me!"

If you put it in a song,
You've got to use some corazon
To make the little ladies say, "Hey, I think he
Wrote that song about me."

My Texas Song - 11/23/09

Davy Crockett already told 'em
While living in Tennessee,
"You may go to hell and I'll go to Texas,"
That's the only place for me.
I'm not sayin' that the folks in Nashville
Have the music scene all wrong,
But what's right for you ain't right for me,
So I'll be singin' my Texas song.

Spinner (Blue Hole) - 8/29/08

Well, I put my mind into my job,
And my job set my head a-spinning,
So I set my mind on my sweet girl,
And that girl set my head a-spinning,
So I set my mind on her loving heart,
And her loving heart set my heart to spinning,

I'm a spinner, spinning down into a blue hole
Coming 'round again into a blue hole,
I'm a spinner, spinning down into a blue, blue hole

Goin' South - 7/28/08

He's not going south to be anywhere that he's known,
He's just going south to be lonely and alone.

Song For Today - 6/?/08

This is a song for today,
I don't need it to last forever.
This is a song for today,
I don't need it to last forever.
If I sing it one time for you,
Then it's done what I need it to do.
This is a song for today,
I don't need it to last forever.

My Dog Won't Sing - 10?/07

My dog won't sing for supper,
My dog won't dance for you.
My dog is just a puppy
That won't do what I tell her to.

My dog ain't got no training,
My dog ain't got no couth.
My dog won't please nobody,
Just herself and that's the truth.

Company - 7/13/04

Personally, I'd rather be with Jesus than with me
Personally, I'd rather be in the Spirit's company.
