(Chorus)
Godsend
Godsend
Send me an angel to love

Bachelor life
You got two ex-wives
And a beer can pile
Nightclub world
Ashtray girl
She’s got a crooked smile
Forty years
No lost tears
I’m still waiting

(Chorus 2x)

(Solo)

Red beer sign
Fools in line
It’s the weekend crowd
So drain your cup
And loosen up
I wanna hear you laugh out loud
I survive
Stay alive
I keep praying
Up Above

(Chorus)

I can’t dance but I feel like dancin’
Not with anyone, only you
You’re as true as love can be
You’re all that matters to me

CHORUS:
You’re all that matters, all that matters
You’re all that matters to me
I don’t care if I know where we come from or where we go
You’re all that matters to me

Out in the rain, lost as I was
I said you think it’ll ever stop, you said it always does
And you were right, look and see
You’re all that matters to me

CHORUS

SOLO

BRIDGE:
Hear that song, that song is our song
And so is the next song
I’m certain as I’m ever gonna be
I don’t care about this crowd, let ‘em laugh, I’m not proud
Nor am I afraid for anyone to see

CHORUS

SOLO out

with born again eyes
and a jesus tattoo on his arm

leans on the wall

while the trafic goes by
the gas mart at Fairveiw and Farm
A rap song pounds from an 83 caddy
While he waits on a pay phone to ring
been standing around since a quater past nine
still hasn’t heard thing

Chorus:
24 hours a day
24 hours a day
sign says were open the man says you pay
24 hours a day

backed up on Farm
carhorns are screaming
cause some guys suburban is stalled
he guesses her daddy
must be back home
otherwise she’d have called
he thinks to himself
i guess i can’t blame him
it wasn’t so smart what we did
a uniformed cop gets in line with his coffee
some woman yells at her kid

Repeat Chorus

(harmonica solo)

carload of drunks
pulls up in a hurry
for a six pack before it’s too late
he starts to dial
to leave one moe message
stops and decides just to wait
could have been diffrent
and maybe it coudn’t
with some things it’s too late to learn
fumes from the gasoline hang in the air
world just continues to turn

Repeat Chorus

The skinny young man
with born again eyes
and a jesus tattoo on his arm
leans on the wall
while the traffic goes by
a gas mart at farveiw and farm
hmmmmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmm

1st. Verse

You know just the other morning I was hanging around inside my house

I had that new book with pictures of Madonna Naked I was checking it out
Just then a friend of mine Came through the door
Said she never pegged me for a scumbag before
She said she didn’t ever wanna see me anymore
And I still don’t know why

Chorus
I think I’m an alright guy
I think I’m an alright guy
I just wanna live unitll I gotta die
I know I aint perfect but God knows I try
I think I’m an alright guy
I think I’m alright

2nd. Verse
Now maybee I’m dirty and maybee I smoke a little dope
But it aint like I’m going on T.V. and tearing up pictures of the Pope
I know I get wild I know I get drunk
But it aint like I gotta lot of bodies in my trunk
My old man used to call me a no good punk
And I still don’t why

Chorus

3rd. Verse
You know just the other night these cops pulled me over outside a bar
They turned on their lights and said hey kid get ot of the car
I was only joking when I called em a couple of dicks
but still they made me do the stupid human tricks
And now I’m stuck in this cell with a bunch of dumb hicks
And I still don’t why

Chorus twice and fade.

Listen to the tape to get the timing of the song its is a real easy song to
pick up. Note this song is played every Friday night at about 9:57 P.M. on

review With Little John and Boone! The only place I know of to get this CD

Capo on the 1st fret

You can’t talk to me like that boss
I don’t care who you are
If you don’t want to have to hang your own dry wall
Don’t push me too far
Boomtown work ain’t hard to come by
Boomtown workers are
You might be the one running the show but
That don’t mean you’re in charge

Chorus:
I was looking for a job when I found this one
Don’t need the work like you need the work done
You look like you’re under pressure
I was looking for a job when I met you

I’m sharing a room with two guys over at the motel 6 boss
Sending every dime I make here home to my ex-wife
Just did two years and 28 days
With a little better aim i’d been in there for my life
So you see, broke won’t take much getting used to
Neither will a barb wire jail house wall
Watch what you say to someone with nothing
It’s almost like having it all

Chorus 2:

I was looking for a job when I found this one
Don’t need the work like you need the work done
You look like you’re under pressure
I was already looking for a job two weeks ago when I met you, remember?

The song is in the same chord the whole song
But this riff is what gives it the sound:

E—————–
B—————–
G—————–
D—————–
A-0—0-3-00—0–
E—3——–3—-

Theres a truck turned over on the highway
Flares burning out of the snow
Freezing rain in the passing lane
I got forty five miles to go

Forty five miles, forty five miles
Thats gonna take all night
Should have known right away that something was wrong
When I started thinking things were all right, things were not all right

My old mans sick, my sisters going broke
Theyre closing down my favorite bar
I got a smokers cough and now to top it all off
I think Im gonna wreck my car, Im gonna wreck my car

They say life goes in phases like seasons
I say something about all of them sucks
Its as hard to be hot as it is to be cold
Youre either out of control or youre stuck, youre either out of control or youre stuck

So take whatever road that you want to
Careful of the ice and the snow
I aint got time to change my mind
I got forty five miles to go

Forty five miles, forty five miles
Man thats gonna take all night
I should have known right away that something was wrong
When I started thinking things were all right, things are not all right

Missing You

Capo 7

I feel like missing you today
Sometimes I just get this way
Seems like everything I see
Brings back another memory
I must feel like missing you today

You’re never too far from my mind
I feel like crying sometimes
It’s always been so hard to do
Especially when it comes to you
You’re never too far from my mind

I know someday I’ll see your smiling face again
I don’t know when but I know it’s true
One other thing I know
No matter where we go
You love me and I love you

I can’t help wondering out loud
If we’d have ever worked things out
I wish I could make amends
For anything I might have said back then
I can’t help wondering out loud
I feel like missing you today
I ain’t lettin’ nobody stand in my way
I’m gonna pull down these shades
And play some old songs

Horseshoe Lake

Won’t work this morning
I can’t punch in
There’s too many questions
Under my skin

My back is achin’
I’m so confused
I can’t help feeling
I’m being used
I did like they told me
I settled down
Now I’m going crazy
Workin’ down town

What do I do here
Why do I stay
Who are these people
I check in with every day

Chorus:
[—]
I need room to think this over
I need a ride out to Horseshoe Lake
I wanna feel like it makes a difference
What difference one man makes

They say that one man makes the money
One man makes the time
I need time to think this over
I’ve got to make up my own mind
___

Don’t need a psychic
Don’t need a shrink
I need time away from all of this
I need a drink

How did I get here
Where will I go
Why am I so haunted
By anything that I don’t know

chorus

Intro Chords:

An empty house is hard to bear
Lonesome’s falling everywhere
Without you there’s no light coming in
That lucky dog jumped the fence
Ain’t seen him around here since
And I don’t guess I ever will again
It didn’t bother me any, I was good to that dog
And just like you I’m gonna have to learn to let him go
Leaving me was one thing Carla, why’d you have to leave so slow

Slow and shifty backing out
You were trying to fill my head with doubt
You nearly had me walking out on you
About the oldest trick to be
Playing on someone as old as me
That can not be the best that you can do
It didn’t bother me any when he come around
I just wish I hadn’t been the last guy in town to know
I didn’t mind you walking away what hurt was how you walked so slow

You know, you go

You know that was so underhanded
Grabbing him just as you landed
After holding me the whole time you fell
You tell me he’ll be good to you
Who wouldn’t be, what else is new
And now all that I can do is wish you well
It wouldn’t have bothered me any, if you left me when you wanted to
But you just had to wait until you had some place better to go
I didn’t mind you walking away, what hurt was how you walked so slow

Leaving me was one thing Carla why’d you have to leave so slow
