Whippoorwill

I can hear the whippoorwill sing
At this time of year their voices ring
Long before the break of morning light
In the middle of the night
I came here because I love the sound
So much nicer than it was in town
With the coyotes and fireflies
We could watch the world go by
I don't want to leave
It's too soon to say goodbye
But if that choice were made for me
There'd be no tears to cry
Maybe later when my time has come
I'll come back and sit here in the sun
And you'll hear me in a gentle breeze
And the buzzin' of the bees
Whippoorwill, oh whippoorwill
Oh whippoorwill
Won't you fly away home
I can hear the whippoorwill sing
At this time of year their voices ring
Long before the break of morning light
In the middle of the night

Hard Workin' Man

I'm a paperback novel
I'm easy to read
Sometimes I have good days
And sometimes I bleed
Sometimes that's the same day
It depends on what you need
I am a hard workin', hard workin' man
I used to work for a butcher
Wanted to cut my neck
He filled my belly full of good food
So I put up with it
And then I was a bartender
But I wouldn't take no shit
I am a hard workin', hard workin' man
Then I looked down, had a wife and kids
Started electricianin', that's what I did
Doing alright making hourly pay
But my body's aching, gotta stop one day
I can stop now, the bank owns me
I'll be workin' 'til I'm seventy three
Days and nights, eights, twelves, or tens
Monday comes and you do it again
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man
Making a living doing the best I can
I might be workin' 'til the day I die
That's when I'll punch the big ol' clock in the sky
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man, yes I am
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man
Making a living doing the best I can
I might be workin' 'til the day I die
That's when I'll punch the big ol' clock in the sky
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man, yes I am
I am a hard workin', I'm a hard workin' man

Love Is Real
04:39

I used to attend the church of the barstool
Where I would take in service everyday
Now the Lord I prayed to there was one of shame and misfortune
The congregation never knew my name
Then one day an angel said to me and I listened
"Follow me out of the dark
Your eyes will only see what you want them to see.
So come with me into the light."
Love is real
It's like flowers in the spring
They don't mean a thing unless you let 'em in your heart
Love is real
It's a warm summer's rain
Don't let flow down the drain
Let it fill up your cup
Love is real
I wandered down a path and found a park bench
When I saw a little birdy flitter, flutter by
It landed next to me, that's when I saw you
The vision forever printed on my mind
I know that I could paint a thousand pictures
Of the feeling that was coursing through my heart
And words that would come to you are the same thing that I feel
That we should never be apart.
Love is real
It's like flowers in the spring
They don't mean a thing unless you let 'em in your heart
Love is real
It's a warm summer's rain
Don't let flow down the drain
Let it fill up your cup
Love is real
Love is real
It's like flowers in the spring
They don't mean a thing unless you let 'em in your heart
Love is real
It's a warm summer's rain
Don't let flow down the drain
Let it fill up your cup
Love is real

Feel the Light
03:52

I came home from work one morning
Rest my weary feet
Took off my dirty boots
It's a moment can't be beat
I let those puppies out
I let my poor feet feel the air
After a long dark night
I can't wait to feel the light
I came home from work one morning
Rest my weary back
Took off my dirty belt
And I kick back relax
I reach up for the sky
Let my body feel the air
After a long dark night
I can't wait to feel the light, alright alright
Last night somebody told me
Boy you never get ahead
Last night somebody told me
You only gonna wind up dead
But I live for the morning
And I give in the night
One of these days I'm gonna help you see
Everything will be alright
It'll be alright, alright, alright
Well, I came home from work one morning
Rest my weary head
Took off that dirty hat
And this is what I did
I opened up the window
Let my face just feel the air
After a long dark night
I can't wait to feel the light
After a long dark night
I can't wait to feel the light
