Just Between the Two of Us Lyrics

Merle Haggard, Bonnie Owens

Just between the two of us, we know our love is gone
People think it’s wonderful our love can be so true
You never say an angry word no matter what I do
And you have so much faith in me you trust me anywhere
But the reason if they only knew is that we just don’t care

Just between the two of us, let’s give up this fantasy
For we no longer care enough to even disagree
Everybody envies us and the way we get along
But just between the two of us, we know our love is gone

Wish we could go back again to days that used to be
We fought a lot but even then I knew you cared for me
Now we get along so well no teardrops ever fall
But there’s no love, no anything, there’s nothing left at all

Just between the two of us, let’s give up this fantasy
For we no longer care enough to even disagree
Everybody envies us and the way we get along
But just between the two of us, we know our love is gone

“Family Bible” – A Willie Nelson Classic Country Song Live Performance (1999)

By

On August 8, 2024

In Country Music, Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson performed his song “Family Bible” live with some great country singers. He began writing this song in 1957. His inspiration for the song came from his grandmother, Nancy Elizabeth Smothers, who would sing “Rock of Ages” and read from the Bible after supper.

Willie Nelson is a country music icon. A unique and versatile artist, his innovative songwriting has resulted in No. 1 hits for dozens of artists – including more than twenty for himself – and a recorded output that is “so vast,” music journalist Bob Allen writes, “as to confound all but the most dedicated discographers.”

Willie Nelson’s awards are numerous, including 11 CMAs, 12 GRAMMYs, and 6 ACMs. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993, received the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999, and won the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize in 2015. In 2003, CMT placed him at No. 4 among the “Greatest Men of Country.” And, in 2008, his distinctive vocal style – once considered a deficit – earned him the No. 88 spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Family Bible Lyrics

There’s a family Bible on the table
Each page is worn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table
Will ever be my key to memories

At the end of day when work was over
And when the evenin’ meal was done
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
And we’d count our many blessings, one by one

I can see us sittin’ round the table
When from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing
Rock of ages
Rock of ages cleft for me

Now this old world
Of ours is filled with troubles
This old world would also better be
If we’d found more Bibles on the tables
And mothers singin’ rock of ages, cleft for me

I can see us sittin’ round the table
When from the family Bible dad would read
And I can hear my mother softly singin’
Rock of ages
Rock of ages cleft for me

Rock of ages
Rock of ages cleft for me

Sing Me Back Home Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar playing friend, do my request

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning a choir from ‘cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers
There’s a song my mama sang
Can I hear once before we move along?

Sing me back home, the song my mama sang
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

Sing me back home before I die

I Hate to See it Go Lyrics

My son will be ten, my daughter thirteen
And I love the both of them so
Soon these days will be over and it all will be gone
And I hate to see it go

Now he’s just like me, she’s just like you
Love’s such a blessing, we know
Times to remember, all have to leave
And I hate to see it go

Why doesn’t life have a conscience
And why do kids have to grow
Times to remember, all have to leave
But I hate to see it go

Why doesn’t life have a conscience

And why do kids have to grow
Times to remember, all have to leave
But I hate to see it go
Oh, I hate to see it go

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Alabama

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
And oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
To everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful?
Or who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Ooh
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden?
Encumbered with a load I’ve carried
Precious Savior still I refuge, hmm
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
‘Cause in His arms
He’ll take and shield you
Thou will find no solace there

Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Scotty McCreery Chart Topping Song – “Damn Strait”

By

On August 8, 2024

In Country Music, Scotty McCreery

Watch Country Star Scotty McCreery as he performed his top charting song “Damn Strait” at Grand Ole Opry. This song was released on October 18, 2021, as the second single from his fifth studio album Same Truck. “Damn Strait” is a tribute to country music legend George Strait. It peaked at number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart dated July 23, 2022, holding that position for three weeks and becoming McCreery’s fifth consecutive number one single on that chart. Enjoy!

Scott Cooke McCreery was born on October 9, 1993. An American country music singer. He rose to fame after winning the tenth season of American Idol on May 25, 2011. His debut studio album, Clear as Day, was released in October 2011 and was certified platinum in the United States. The album includes the top 20 country songs, “I Love You This Big” and “The Trouble with Girls”. McCreery began singing as a child in Garner, North Carolina. School performances eventually gave way to local competitions, and McCreery won a singing contest in the nearby town of Clayton before trying out for American Idol as a 16-year-old. Auditioning with Josh Turner’s “Your Man,” he made good use of his country twang and deep baritone vocals, prompting the judges to compare him to Randy Travis. McCreery passed the audition, became an audience favorite, and eventually won the competition in May 2011. In October 2013, he returned with his second official studio album, See You Tonight. Produced by veteran producer Frank Rogers, the album moved McCreery into bright contemporary country-pop. It was a success, debuting at number one on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and earning McCreery’s the Breakthrough Artist Award at the 2013 American Country Awards.

Damn Strait Lyrics

Song by Scotty McCreery

“Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her”
That was her favorite song
She sang along every time it came on

First time we danced was to Marina Del Rey
And I fell right there and then
I didn’t want that song to end

Baby blue was the color of her eyes
I can still see them in my mind
Probably will for the rest of my life

Damn Strait, you’re killing me man
You know I’ve always been your biggest fan
Now I can’t even listen
‘Cause I’ll get to missin’ her
Then the hurt gets worse

Damn Strait, I used to love your songs
But now every time that one comes on
My heart gets broke in half
But do I wish I could get her back?
Damn Strait

The other day right out of a blue clear sky
You came on in my truck
I couldn’t turn it off fast enough

I tried to get back in the game
But this ole heart just ain’t the same
Hell I can’t even give it away

Damn Strait, you’re killing me man
You know I’ve always been your biggest fan
Now I can’t even listen
‘Cause I’ll get to missin’ her
Then the hurt gets worse

Damn Strait, I used to love your songs
But now every time that one comes on
My heart gets broke in half
But do I wish I could get her back?
Damn Strait

I know it ain’t your fault
That she left me
And you know you’ll always be the king
But right now, I hate everything

Damn Strait, you’re killing me man
You know I’ve always been your biggest fan
Now I can’t even listen
‘Cause I’ll get to missin’ her
Then the hurt gets worse

Damn Strait, I used to love your songs
But now every time that one comes on
My heart gets broke in half
But do I wish I could get her back?
Damn Strait
Damn Strait

“Nobody In His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her”
That was her favorite song
She sang along every time it came on

Footlights

Song by Merle Haggard

Lyrics

I live the kind of life that most men only dream of
I made my livin’ writin’ songs and singin’ them
But I’m forty-one years old and I ain’t got no place to go
When it’s over
So I hide my age and make the stage and
Try to kick the footlights out again

I throw my old guitar across the stage and
Then my bass man takes the ball
And the crowd goes nearly wild to see
My guitar nearly fall
After twenty years of pickin’ we’re still alive
And kickin’ and kickin’ down the wall
Tonight we’ll kick the footlights out
And walk away without a curtain call

Tonight we’ll kick the footlights out again
And try to hide the mood we’re really in
Might not put on our old Instamatic grin
Tonight we’ll kick the footlights out again

I live the kind of life most men only dream of
I made my livin’ writin’ these songs and singin’ them
Hank junior
But I’m forty one years old and I ain’t got no place to go
When it’s over
Tonight we will kick the footlights out and
Walk out without a curtain call

The song reached a peak of number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, and number 1 on the Canadian RPM Top Country Tracks charts. Jackson wrote the song with Mark Irwin.

Here In The Real World Lyrics

Cowboys don’t cry, and heroes don’t die
Good always wins, again and again
And love is a sweet dream that always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies, I’d never be blue

But here in the real world
It’s not that easy at all
‘Cause when hearts get broken
It’s real tears that fall
And darlin’ it’s sad but true
But the one thing I’ve learned from you
Is how the boy don’t always get the girl
Here in the real world

I gave you my love, but that wasn’t enough
To hold your heart, when times got rough
And tonight on that silver screen
It’ll end like it should
Two lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would

But here in the real world
It’s not that easy at all
‘Cause when hearts get broken
It’s real tears that fall
And darlin’ it’s sad but true
But the one thing I’ve learned from you
Is how the boy don’t always get the girl
Here in the real world

No, the boy don’t always get the girl
Here in the real world
