No one's ever really ready When the curtain finally falls It’s so hard to hold it steady When your number’s called It’s a lifetime full of worry That all gets washed away As the ones you love surround you On your travelin’ day Travelin’ day I’m as good as gone Travelin’ day But I’m ready to go home No I’m not the first to travel Won’t be the last to go There’s a lesson in my leavin’ That everyone should know Better get your house in order Before your race is run Tell your little ones you love them Then show ‘em how it’s done

Baby you’re a cool drink of water I’m so crazy thirsty ‘bout to lose my mind Baby you’re a cool drink of water Love you till the morning gonna take my time I got a beat up Silverado With a worn out set of tires And just enough gas to get us outta here So we can set the world on fire Far away as we can go A place with no connection You just point your finger girl We’ll go in that direction Get away from the city Get away from the town We’ll be sitting pretty On higher ground All I wanna do is love you And you can love me too Lovin’ on each other Secret rendezvous Soft and low in the afterglow Early in the morning Wishin’ I could stay right here That would do it for me At sunrise I realized I’m on to something brand new I can tell looking in your eyes That you feel the same way too

Walking out in the summertime Underneath the big blue sky Make my way through the swaying pine Puts me on a natural high It seems to me that what I see Is all I’ll ever need I love the land that loves this man And sets his soul at ease The air is cool the ground is soft Soft as silk beneath my feet Mockingbird if you haven’t heard There’s never been a song so sweet
4.
Sweet Lucinda, I can’t believe you stuck beside me Sweet Lucinda, my darkest days are now behind me You followed me to Phoenix And cooled me with a towel When I was burning When I threw that towel in You made me try again You kept my world turnin’ Sweet Lucinda, there’s fire in her eyes I feel it Sweet Lucinda, I’ll never let another steal it The kinda love she gives me Makes me wanna live a little longer Lovin’ on Lucinda The more I find this feeling getting stronger Sweet Lucinda, come on let’s make a home together Sweet Lucinda, where I can sing your name forever

Special One 03:38
You are a special one You’re not like anyone You’re the only one I’ll be a son of a gun If you think I’ll ever let you down I’ll take you home with me Got so much love in me It’s my fantasy Start a family tree And I’m never gonna let you down Won’t you let me prove to you Show you all the things that I can do I was made for lovin’ you In your heart you know that it is true
6.
I’m gonna come and pick you up Take you for a ride Hop up in my pickup truck I’m gonna let you be my guide Driving all night in the rain and snow from Houston Thinking about you about the only thing I think I been doing I wanna lay...your body down (2x) When the wind starts whipping it can rock my heavy load It keeps my mind from drifting keeps me rolling down that road It’s getting sunny and I’m runnin’ for ya honey believe me The lines are flyin’ cause you got the kinda lovin’ to relieve me
7.
When this world starts getting me down And I can’t find one friend around Sick and tired of the same same old lies There’s so much love in my baby’s eyes When I feel like, I’m gonna lose control I know just where I can go She keeps me on the sunny side There’s so much love in my baby’s eyes A little a green, amber too When she wears that dress I could swear they’re blue Every little glance like a new sunrise There’s so much love in my baby’s eyes

Come Down 03:08
Nothing I’ve been doing has been working And baby you know I’ve been hurting I see you behind those curtains Come down Pardon me if I’m mistaken But I believe your heart’s been aching When you’re ready for me I’ll be waiting Come down Come down I could wait forever Come down Better late than never Come down But the sooner the better Come down (4x) One of these days I’m hoping Your front door’s gonna swing open My losing streak will be broken Come down Then you’re gonna see that you love me You won’t be hiding above me You’re never gonna have to be lonely Come down Come down I could wait forever Come down Better late than never Come down But the sooner the better Come down Come down Walk down that hallway Come down Come out that door Come down I’ll love you always come down Come down Nothing I’ve been doing has been working And baby you know I’ve been hurting I see you behind those curtains Come down (5x) Come down I could wait forever Come down Better late than never Come down But the sooner the better Come down Come down

When your day is long And the night The night is yours alone When you’re sure you’ve had enough Of this life Well hang on Don’t let yourself go ‘Cause everybody cries And everybody hurts sometimes When your day is night alone If you feel like letting go If you think you’ve had too much Of this life Hang on If you’re out there on your own In this life The days and nights are long When you think you’ve had too much Of this life To hang on Everybody hurts, sometimes, Everybody cries Everybody hurts, sometimes
10.
You don’t even know what you been missing Broke my heart to hear you talk that way I been trying to reach you Trying so bad But there’s always someone in my way I’m a better man than what you say You judged me before you even knew me Never got the chance to have my day I been trying to reach you Trying so bad At night I lay down and I pray I’m a better man than what you say There’s a fire burning strong It keeps me hanging on One day I might be gone Will you see then that you’ve been wrong
11.
I could put up a fight I sincerely believe Someday I might But it’s not gonna be tonight It’s a cold and simple fact I need to get this monkey off my back And make things right But it’s not gonna be tonight I’m too weak to take a stand Staring at my trembling hand I guess I’ll never be the man my dear old daddy was Someday I’ll change my ways Walk out of this haze into the light And live my life But it’s not gonna be tonight To those that I’ve let down Who pray that I’ll turn this ship around Wouldn’t that be nice But it’s not gonna be tonight
