(chorus) A
If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
Shed left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
No, they aint said a word
Stood silent through it all
Id be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk

This old house of ours
Its made of stone but its built on sand
And these four walls they are my best friends
Theyre keepin all my past locked deep inside
No one will ever know
All those things I did so long ago
I keep runnin tryin to hide from yesterday
But theres just no need
I know my secrets safe

(repeat chorus)
Theyve stood the test of time
Never let me down
Ive put it all behind me
They remind me

Im on shaky ground
They wont let me forget

(repeat chorus)
Yea, Id be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
Shed left me long ago
If she only knew all those things I did back then

Kevin Fowler – Tall Drink Of Water

Capo 2
Intro: A E B A

First time I saw her she came through them swingin’ doors
She was dancin’ like a demon runnin’ on golden floor
Looked just like an angel but she [D/F#]had a devil’s smile
And a body hot as southern rock, long hair and Texas smile.

She’s a Tall Drink Of Water yeah she’s long and lean
And her, momma sure taught her how to sway and how to swing
There ain’t no man alive I know who’s [D/F#]ever claimed to court h-e-r
These poor lips could sure use a drink of that
T-all Tall Drink Of Water.

[D/F#]

Well I’ve had girls too skinny yeah some were to thick
Some tiny as a button and some build like a stick
Well I ain’t nothin’ against them girls [D/F#]Lord I love them all
Well there ain’t one there that I can compare to that
Long legged southern doll.
Chorus: X 3

My truck has a rebel flag and a rifle rack
There’s a case or two of empty cans blowin’ in the back
Yeah I got an eight point buck strapped across the hood
Exhaust pipe smokin’ up the neighborhood
These days guys like me, we don’t fit in

(Chorus)
Yeah cuz I’m socially challenged

Slightly off-balance
So everybody says
I’m a little off-center

A public offender
It’s how I was raised, I guess
Ahh, If speakin’ your mind is really a crime
I’m guilty, I must confess
I’m the poster child for political incorre[-]ctness

Sometimes I get too loud and I’m prone to cuss
Everytime I fire up a cigarette I cause a fuss
No I don’t believe in global warming
And I don’t care
About the size of the hole in the ozone layer
These days guys like me just don’t fit in

(Chorus)

Yeah and I’ve learned everything I know
From outlaws like Merle and David Allan Coe
I won’t change one thing about the way I am

(Chorus)

Oh I’m just a redneck reject
Who doesn’t really give a heck
What anybody says
I’m the poster child for political incorre[-]ctness

Yes I am

Kevin Fowler – Our Love Is A Prison

A love that was made in Heaven
Now seems[D/C#] more [D/B]like hell
And now we’re doing life here
In this four[D/C#] bedr[D/B]oom cell
Like two prisoners
We’re stuck here
Just do[D/C#]ing o[D/B]ur time
There’s no escaping
Killing love[D/C#] was [D/B]our crime

We’ve been sentenced to a lifetime
Til [D/A]death[D/B] do [D/C#]us part
Our love is a prison
With ve[D/C#]lvet [D/B]lined bars

I’m a third time offender
No chance for parole
There’s hard time we’re doing
Has taken its toll
Went from soul mates
To cell mates
We’re bound by these chains
Finding a world where
No love remains

(Chorus 2x)

Speak of the Devil

Heaven sent an angel to me to save me from lifes misery
She seemed to fall right outta the sky
I caught her here in my arms
Well life was pretty peachy things were really keen
All the sudden that ol gal got mean
Her wings fell off she started turnin red
And that old broken halo fell right off of her head yeah

(chorus)

Speak of the devil here she comes
Yeah, shes got this poor boy on the run
Oh, I swear shes got horns and a tail
A pitchfork and a book of spells
Speak of the devil here she comes, and here I go!

Fallen angel fell from grace
They kicked her out of that heavenly place
She was a raisin hell and breakin all the rules
Tellin lies, breakin hearts, being mean and cruel
So now shes down here on earth doin the devils dirty work
Stealin the soul of every man she can find
Sweet lips and pretty eyes oh they were a thin disguise
My little angel was a devil all along oh

(repeat chorus)

Here I goTryin to duck, tryin to dodge, tryin to shake her
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, I cant escape her
Shes everywhere I go she knows my every move
Oh I know Im bound to loose

(chorus)
Speak of the devil here she comes
Yeah, shes got this poor boy on the run
Oh, I swear shes got horns and a tail
A pitchfork and a book of spells
Speak of the devil here she comes, and here I go

(Fades in)
Speak of the, speak of the, speak of the devil here she comes
Speak of the, speak of the, speak of the devil here she comes
Speak of the, speak of the, speak of the devil here she comes
Speak of the devil here she comes and here I go.

Kevin Fowler – The Lord Loves The Drinkin’ Man

Capo 1
(Chorus)
D (strum once)
The Lord loves the drinkin’ man
Sends honkey tonk angels to the promise land
I hear that he can turn water to wine
Any man that can do that is a good friend of mine
I’ve been baptized in beer, I’m here to testify
I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I’m livin’ in sin, but I know
The Lord loves the drinkin’ man

The Preacher man he told me boy you ain’t no good
The devils gonna getcha, better start actin’ like you
should
All the cold beers and bright lights, stayin’ out all
night
The good book it tells me boy your soul’s gonna burn
My mamma said son you’re headin’ down the wrong road
They don’t let honkey tonkers up in heaven I’ve been
told
Don’t you worry mamma I’ll see you up in heaven
I've been thinking ‘bout it and I’ve come to this
conclusion now,
(chorus)

My daddy says son you’re living your life all wrong
Lighting’s gonna strike you down before too long
That man upstairs he don’t like what you do
When you reach those pearly gates you ain’t getting
through
Well I’ve been thinkin’, I’ve got a brand new plan
I’m gonna start a little church down at the Stumble
Inn
Yea that’s right I’m gonna start my own religion
We’ll be drinkin’ and dancin’ at the church of Hank
Williams yea,
(repeat chorus)

Oh, yea I know
The Lord loves, I hope he does, the Lord loves the
drinkin’ man

Kevin Fowler – True Love

Well, I’ve been around this ride so many times
It always leads me right back here
By myself all alone is where I call home
There ain’t no woman near
It’s getting’ old flyin’ solo, these one night stands
Ain’t workin’ for me any more
But this time around I found what I’ve been yearnin’
for

Now I know what you meant when you said you were lonely
I ain’t never known such hell like I’ve been going
through
There must be a better way to find someone like I’ve
been dreamin’ of
Oh, tell me will I ever find true love

This way of life is all I’ve ever known
And the ways of the world have left me all alone
I’ve been lost here in Babylon walking the streets
Searchin’ for some fools gold
But I’ve finally realized it ain’t all I want
(chorus)
Tell me will I ever find true love
