The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip in the woods With your bros that you've known since second grade and you May encounter dragons and ruffians and be Called upon to employ your testosterone In a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV And even if you are victorious You may receive many cuts and bruises and scrapes and you will Require band-aids and antiseptic ointments And tender love and kisses on your stab wounds And when you come home she will be there waiting For you with a fire in her eyes And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth And that's why you Thank God for girls Holla Jesu Christe From Tennessee to LA Thank God for girls On your reckoning day You better bow down and pray She's so big, she's so strong She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls I'm so glad I got a girl to think of Even though she isn't mine I think about her all the day and all the night, it's a 'Nuff to know that she's a-live, she says I Give her sweaty palms, she almost had a heart attack The truth is that I'm just as scared, I don't know how to act I wish that I could get to know her better, but Meeting up in real life would cause illusion to shatter, oh I I carved her name into all the trees I sang a song down on one knee Looking at the underwear page in the Sears catalog like when I was 14 I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around I'm like an Indian fakir tryin' to meditate On a bed of nails with my pants pulled down Thank God for girls Holla Jesu Christe From Tennessee to LA Thank God for girls On your reckoning day You better bow down and pray She's so big, she's so strong She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls God took a rib from Adam Ground it up in a centrifuge machine Mixed it with cardamom and cloves Microwaved it on the "Popcorn" setting while Adam was like (woo hoo) "that really hurts" Goin' off into the tundra, so pissed at God And he started lightin' mighty forest fires stealin' osprey eggs Messing with the bees who would try to pollinate the echinacea Until God said "I'm a smite you with loneliness and break your heart in two" And Adam wept and wailed, tearing out his hair Falling on his knees, looked to the sky and said "Thank God"

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track Means your true loving daddy ain't coming back 'Cause I'm moving on I'll soon be gone You were flying too high for my little old sky, so I'm moving on That big loud whistle as it blew and blew Said hello to the Southland, we're coming to you And we're moving on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm moving on Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me 'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep moving me on, keep rolling on So shovel the coal, let this rattle a-roll and keep moving me on Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep moving me on, keep rolling on You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rolling on I told you, baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on You've broken your vow and it's all over now, so I'm moving on You switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a trifling woman on my main line 'Cause I'm moving, you done your daddy wrong I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm moving on But some day, baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say "Keep moving on, you stayed away too long" I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep moving on

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep You'll cry and cry and try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will pine some day, And crave the love, you threw away. The time will come when you'll be blue, Your cheatin' heart will tell on you. When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

Life has a funny way Of keeping me on my toes Oh how my shoulders ache Under the weight of my woes My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings Lovers and friends the same Everyone's fair game Everyone can hurt your heart When it all falls apart My tears fall On my old guitar Time and time again My surest friend My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings No matter where I go The music guides my soul Through all the ups and downs It can help turn me around My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings

If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right 'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If mind you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Well, I got a little girl that wears her hair up high The boys all whistle when she walks by Why don't they mind their own business Mind their own business 'Cause if they mind their business, then they won't be mindin' mine Now if I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me Just mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, and you won't be mindin' mine Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned I got all that I can do just to mind my own Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If you mind your business, you'll be busy all the time

I've got that old-fashioned love in my heart And there it'll always remain Like an ivy clinging vine, clinging closer all the time Through the years, and tears, just the same I got that old-fashioned faith in my heart And nothing can tear us apart And I may try to see, but there'll be no change in me I got that old-fashioned love in my heart I got that old-fashioned love in my heart And there, it shall always remain Like an ivy clinging vine, clinging closer all the time Through the years, and tears, just the same I got that old-fashioned faith in my heart And nothing will tear us apart And I may try to see, but there'll be no change in me I got that old-fashioned love in my heart And I may try to see, but there'll be no change in me I got that old-fashioned love in my heart
