Nothing In The Story - MY FIRST STORY

It would take a wide net to drag that deep Through all the years, the years I believed you And you'd be hard pressed to face the fact of all the lies And the fears that deceived you But you say it doesn't matter now, angel There's nothing standing in your way Did I forget to mention how I'm done with you? It's not my problem anymore To be true to be kind to never walk away And it's true you were blind No matter what I would say to you Is there nothing sacred to you? I will turn my back to the wind in your wake To the cold shards of the lives strewn behind you Your record's scratched but these lines will break Through the drone of time 'til their meaning will find you But I say It doesn't matter now, angel There's nothing standing in your way Did I forget to mention how I'm done with you? It's not my problem anymore To be true to be kind to never walk away And it's true you were blind No matter what I would say to you Is there nothing sacred to you? Nothing sacred, nothing sacred

Got a call from a buddy of mine That I ain't seen in a long long time He was comin' into town for the day And he thought that he might stop by He said, "I hate to interrupt your weekend So just tell me if you got any plans" I told him that I had a cooler of beer And I could sure use an extra hand Doin' Nothin' in particular, and I'm doin' it all day long A hot grill and a cooler of beer and a CD of my favorite songs A lotta nothin' in particular and I do it well So much of nothin' on the schedule now and I'm invitin' all of y'all to help I got my ass in the lawn chair, my toes in the clay I done called all my folks, and they on their way I got ribs on the grill, and I'm smokin' a ham I got a cooler full of beer, so I don't give a damn Just sittin' in the shade where the cool breeze blows I got the boom box bumpin' Mr. David Allan Coe Then my crazy neighbor Bill just stopped on by And old uncle Paul just came through with some wine And you know it gets hotter when the sun goes down And the homemade wine, it's been making it's rounds And we all catchin' up like a redneck reunion Y'all stop on by, cause we'll still be doin' Nothin' in particular, and I'm doin' it all day long A hot grill and a cooler of beer and a CD of my favorite songs A lotta nothin' in particular and I do it well So much of nothin' on the schedule now and I'm invitin' all of y'all to help Just a down south river rat I'm always lookin' for a place that I can kick it back You know I got a big cooler of them Warmouth And I'm invitin' y'all to come and ride out, ride out Just a wonderful night, under the canopy light Drinkin' the brandy and Sprite, havin' the time of my life You know them youngin's in the tire swing Hangin' from a pine tree Lady in her tight jeans Lickin' on an ice cream cone Phones ain't no good around here So hit the power off button, go on and getcha a beer Old 50 patties on my new grill from Sears And when I'm bored I'll score you better hold your ear Just a backwoods boy doin' backwoods things On the weekend days I like to practice my aim In the city people tell me that I'm wastin' time I like to call it drinkin' time, we take our time doin' Nothin' in particular, and I'm doin' it all day long A hot grill and a cooler of beer and a CD of my favorite songs A lotta nothin' in particular and I do it well So much of nothin' on the schedule now and I'm invitin' all of y'all to help Nothin' in particular, and I'm doin' it all day long (we can do this stuff all day) (Country girls come out and play) a hot grill and a cooler of beer (We always get it on this way) and a CD of my favorite songs A lotta nothin' in particular and I do it well (we can do this stuff all day) (Country girls come out and play) so much of nothin' on the schedule now (We always get it on this way) and I'm invitin' all of y'all to help

I watch you breathe, I cannot sleep I touch your hair, I kiss your skin And hope the morning sun won't wake you too soon For when you wake and look at me You never know, you just might see Another boy who crept into your room Take your time, that's what you told me Take your time But I fell head first and I just don't know what to do Nothing looks the same in the light Only a fool like me would take to heart The things you said you meant last night Nothing looks the same in the light I'll keep my feet firm on the ground Nothing looks the same in the light There's a danger in a stranger With a warm hand and then a kiss so right Nothing looks the same in the light It's been a pleasure, see you around I watch the sun upon the sheets I hear a car out on the street And gently pull you close, it's over too soon What can I do but wait and see Hold on to you, please stay with me Where am I now, your love, or a fool Please be kind Don't change your mind Because you're the first and I want to stay here with you Nothing looks the same in the light Only a fool like me would take to heart The things you said you meant last night Nothing looks the same in the light I'll keep my feet firm on the ground Nothing looks the same in the light There's a danger in a stranger With a warm hand and then a kiss so right Nothing looks the same in the light It's been a pleasure, see you around Please be kind Don't change your mind Because you're the first and I want to stay here with you Nothing looks the same in the light Only a fool like me would take to heart The things you said you meant last night Nothing looks the same in the light I'll keep my feet firm on the ground Nothing looks the same in the light There's a danger in a stranger With a warm hand and then a kiss so right Nothing looks the same in the light It's been a pleasure, see you around Nothing looks the same in the light Only a fool like me would take to heart The things you said you meant last night Nothing looks the same in the light I'll keep my feet firm on the ground Nothing looks the same in the light

When we die in this place Can I say alright? I hope it end up dreamily Don't want to lose The feeling is rolling in my head 'til now I realize what I find one way, no way back from here Don't stay in the bed through whole long in the night Sometimes, later on, can't get sleeping bed Until this silence break Again, standing on the line I look at the right way Will I get lost in darkness, can't I get back? The feeling is rolling in my head 'til now I realize what I find one way, no way back from here Don't stay in the bed through whole long in the night Sometimes, later on, can't get sleeping bed Until this silence break We're starting off, going with emotion Don't be afraid yourself and move on Can't stay anymore It looks like no way, but one day, I'll make it
