She won't let me help her tie her shoes "No, Daddy, I can do it myself" When she don't get her way She'll cross her arms and hold her breath She's a handful, she's a mess Diggin' in the dirt in her princess dress Goes from tiny tornado to sleepin' on my chest God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through Give him patience and kindness And a heart that's full of her And the sense to know just what she's worth 'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love I hope his daddy's teachin' him How to shake my hand and look me in the eye And takin' him fishin' and bustin' his butt When he ain't actin' right I hope he's in every prayer his mama prays And learns to work for every dollar he gets And has a sense of humor, gonna need it for a girl like this God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through Give him patience and kindness And a heart that's full of her And the sense to know just what she's worth 'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through There ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love Oh, God bless the boy she decides to love

If tomorrow all my things were gone, I'd worked for all my life. And I had to start again, With just my children and my wife. I'd thank my lucky stars, To be livin' here today. 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, And they can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an American, Where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, Who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, Next to you and defend her still today. 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA. From the lakes of Minnesota, To the hills of Tennessee. Across the plains of Texas, From sea to shining sea. From Detroit down to Houston, And New York to L.A. Well there's pride in every American heart, And its time we stand and say. That I'm proud to be an American, Where at least I know I'm free. And I wont forget the men who died, Who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, Next to you and defend her still today. 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA. And I'm proud to be an American, Where at least I know I'm free. And I wont forget the men who died, Who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, Next to you and defend her still today. 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the USA.

He wanted someone who loves the land as much as he does Someone who knows the blessings of a good hard rain Somebody simple and strong that He knows He can count on Soft as the wind You're bold enough to bless his name That's why God loves cowboys I believe there's a place in His heart 'Cause when the herd needs tendin' Fences needs mendin' He knows they'll work hard On his great big ranch called life 'Cause they love and take care of all His creations From the horses they ride To those broken hearted honky-tonk angels Ooooooh That's why God loves cowboys He knew they'd need room to breathe and freedom So He gave 'em Texas and those big Montana skies He was there when He heard those prayers coming from Cheyenne Right beside that young man on his last ride That's why God loves cowboys I believe there's a place in His heart 'Cause when the herd needs tendin' Fences needs mendin' He knows they'll work hard On His great big ranch called life 'Cause they love and take care of all His creations From the horses they ride To those broken hearted honky-tonk angels Ooooooh That's why God loves cowboys Ooh, those cold nights get lonely He needs more than just a good fire to keep him warm Ooh, there's nothing more holy Than the love of a woman to weather life's storm That's why God loves cowgirls I believe there's a place in His heart 'Cause when the herd needs tendin' Fences needs mendin' He knows they'll work hard On His great big ranch called life 'Cause they love and take care of all His creations From the horses they ride To those broken hearted honky-tonk heroes Ooooooh That's why God loves cowgirls Ooooooh That's why God loves cowboys

Down the road a ways I've heard say A new day's coming on Where the women folks are friendly And the law leaves you alone I'll believe it when I see it And I haven't seen it yet Don't mind me just keep on talking I'm just looking for my hat There ain't no God in Mexico Ain't no way to understand How that border crossing feeling Makes a fool out of a man If I'd never felt the sunshine Hell, I would not curse the rain If my feet could fit a railroad track I guess I'd been a train Me and Louise Higginbottom Used to chase across the yard Back in 1947, that's when More than times were hard Well, pity me I didn't find The line in time like a fool In front of God and everybody I politely blew my cool Ain't no God in Mexico Ain't no comfort in the kin When you're down in Matamoros Gettin' busted by the man If I'd never felt the sunshine Hell, I would not curse the rain If I hadn't been railroaded Well, I guess I'd been a train

Yeah Desert sky Dream beneath a desert sky The rivers run but soon run dry We need new dreams tonight Desert rose Dreamed I saw a desert rose Dress torn in ribbons and in bows Like a siren she calls to me Sleep comes like a drug In God's Country Sad eyes, crooked crosses In God's Country Set me alight We'll punch a hole right through the night Everyday the dreamers die See what's on the other side She is liberty And she comes to rescue me Hope, faith, her vanity The greatest gift is gold Sleep comes like a drug In God's Country Sad eyes crooked crosses In God's Country Naked flame She stands with a naked flame I stand with the sons of Cain Burned by the fire of love Burned by the fire of love

I met God's Will on a Halloween night He was dressed as a bag of leaves It hid the braces on his legs at first His smile was as bright as the August sun When he looked at me As he struggled down the driveway, it almost Made me hurt Will don't walk too good Will don't talk too good He won't do the things that the other kids do In our neighborhood I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin' Lost and lookin' all my life I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated I've wrestled wrong and right He was a boy without a father And his mother's miracle I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin' I guess I would be still Yeah, that was until I knew God's will Will's mom had to work two jobs We'd watch him when she had to work late And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed Since I don't know when Hey Jude was his favorite song At dinner he'd ask to pray And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin' Lost and lookin' all my life I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated I've wrestled wrong and right He was a boy without a father And his mother's miracle I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin' I guess I would be still Yeah, that was until I knew God's will Before they moved to California His mother said, "they didn't think he'd live" And she said, "each day that I have him, well, it's just another gift" And I never got to tell her, that the boy showed me the truth In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written, "me and God love you" I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded I guess I would be still Yeah that was until...

Up at Henry's Bar & Grill On the north side of town I saw a man reach up to heaven And pull a song on down To a smoke filled room of misfits Young and old and big and small And with the laughing eyes of the Buddha He shared it with us all And every soul in that roadhouse Felt the power of his song Through life's joys and sorrows He brought us together as one They called him "God's own yodeler, The Pavarotti of the plains" There's no bigger voice in Texas Don Walser was his name He was raised out in Lamesa Just a boy when his mamma died With daddy at the mill all night In that empty house he cried He'd climb up in the oak tree To sing his broken heart The neighbors gathered in the yard Listening in the dark Singing songs about West Texas Cowboys and old John Deeres Rodeos and drive-ins And the thrill of teenage years They called him "God's own yodeler, The Pavarotti of the plains" There's no bigger voice in Texas Don Walser was his name From the honky-tonks and dance halls To the grand ole opery Don Walser brought a smile To every fan who came to see Now it's oxygen and wheelchairs And trips to the docs in town The stays kept getting longer He knew he was glory bound My friend, your work is done here And I'd say you did it well Your voice rings down from heaven All the way to the devil himself And now you're God's own yodeler High above the Texas plains We miss you here in Austin With love we speak you name
