Hey, this Jack, thanks for buyin' "Live Wherever You Are"
A collection of songs we did live at Green Hall at the historic dance hall in Green Texas
A place where my musical heroes grew up, guess what, so did I
I love this live record and I've also got some studio stuff on here that I wanna play for ya
The first ones called "Wherever You Are", a song I did with Jeremy Stover
It's song about gettin' to where it is you need to be
Doin' what you have to do, to get where you're supposed to be
In this case it's goin' through the storms, through the sleet
Through the rain, through the wind, doin' whatever it takes
To get "Whevever You Are"

This desert wind is burnin’ my face again
God I’m missin’ you
Been runnin’ blind under a broken sky
With regrets I was sorting through
But lesson learned baby
I’ve made the turn

Wherever you are
No matter how far
Girl I’m gonna find my way to you
Through rivers of rain
Over mountains of pain
Do whatever on earth I’ve gotta do
I’ll follow the dream I’ll follow my heart
Girl I’ve gotta be
Wherever you are

So many miles to where we said goodbye
To the street of shattered dreams
I’m prayin’ hard you didn’t start a life
With someone who’s not me
And if you’re just gone
Girl I’ll be movin’ on

(Chorus)

Let the sunrise find me searchin’
Let the west wind carry my plea
Give this changed man one more last chance
Open your arms to me

Wherever you are
Through rivers of rain
Over mountains of pain
Do whatever on earth I’ve gotta do
I’ll follow the dream I’ll follow my heart
Girl I’ve gotta be
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Wherever you are

If I close my eyes a while
Maybe I'd see through
Yeah I'd see through the miles
That won't keep me from you
And an arms length away
Is to far of a place
And maybe what you need
Is to be my saving grace

Chorus
And I would if I could
And I want you to know
If you ask I would give
You better believe I would

Well they say nothing lasts
I don't believe that’s true
I would do my best
Just make this good for you

Chorus
And I would if I could
And I want you to know
If you ask I would give
Yeah, you better believe I would

I bet you'd be amazed
If I just shut my mouth
And listened to you say
That you're letting me stick around

Chorus
And I would if I could
And I want you to know
If you ask I would give
You better believe I would

Yeah I would if I could
And I want you to know
If you ask I would give
You better believe I would
Yeah, you better believe I would
Yeah, you better believe I would

I know why you asked me here
You’re not sure the coast is clear
You’re about to speak your mind
This small talk is a bad sign

Chorus
How many days have I been here tonight
How many days have I been here tonight

You keep stalling probably
Stretch it to eternity
Can’t feel guilty say your lines
Breakin’ my hearts not a crime

Repeat Chorus

I can’t stand the suspense
How long can I go on like this
How many days have I been here tonight

Repeat Chorus

I can’t stand the suspense
How long can I go on like this
How many days have I been here tonight

Repeat Chorus

How many days have I been here tonight
Since I’ve been here tonight

I really want to work this out
Is there something I’ve got to do
Tell me how to make this right
‘Cause I’ve got to get through to you

If I could find the right thing to say
That would finally take away your doubt
We can’t throw this away
I really want to work this out

Tell me there’s one thing I can’t do again
I won’t do that again
That something we’re missing, we’ll find it again

I really want to work this out
Right here and now
Before we have to be apart
Before we make the same mistakes again

I really want to find a place
Stop wasting all this time
I guess what this is all about
Is I really want to work this out

Verse 1:
I used to be so down and out
I used to be so blue
Now the only thing I talk about
Your the only thing I knew
Spin around like a school kid
Just off the marry-go-round
If im busy it's cause' im headed
To the one good thing I've found

Chourus:
One thing is good as gold
Hey I'm nothing without you to hold
Yeah the one thing I know in this world
Is I need you to be my girl

Verse 2:
I got so good at hiding
I could'nt find myself
Yeah but baby you got me smiling
Now I feel like sombody else
Guess you changed my makeup
I aint the same sad clown
And ever since you showed up
Well it's just aint the same sad town

Chorus:
One thing is good as gold
Hey I;m nothing without you to hold
Yeah one thing I know in this world
Is I need you to be my girl


Outro:
One thing...
Is good as gold
Hey I'm nothing without
You to hold
Yeah the one thing
I know
In this world
Is I need you to
Be my girl
Yeah the one thing
Is good as gold
Hey I'm nothing without you to hold
Yeah the one thing
I know
In this world
Is I need you
Be my girl
Be my girl
Your the one thing
Your the one thing
Yeah your the one thing

Everybody knows you've been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
You keep steppin' out of line, and a messin' with my mind
If you had any sense you'd quit
Yeah, 'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
Said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

Intro riff (2x)

I keep a workin' every day all you want to is play
And I'm tired of stayin' out all night
I'm a-comin' unglued from your funny little moods
Now honey baby that ain't right
Yeah, 'cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

Intro riff (2x)

You keep a packin' up my clothes nearly everybody knows
That you're still just a puttin' me on
Yeah cause when I start a walkin', gonna hear you start a squawkin'
And beggin' Please, me come back home
Yeah, 'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

Intro riff (4X)

Where in hell did you go
You left us all alone I wasn’t even eighteen
You never turned around
Like some kid out on the run
You headed for the fun down in Biloxi
And the Gulf of Mexico

Where I guess the girls they’re pretty
And nobody says it’s late
And you can stay out all night long and never have hell to pay
Down in Biloxi
Even when you’re forty-one
Just forget your problems
Down in Biloxi

And you only came around
To take a rest and come down from Biloxi
But you were not the same
Pretending that you cared
Pretending you were there and not in Biloxi
And the Gulf of Mexico

(Chorus)

Did you really think you’d find
More than you left behind back home in Houston
We all felt the loss
I don’t mean to bring you down
But I wonder what you found there in Biloxi
Tell me, was it worth the cost

Well I hope the girls were pretty
And nobody said it was late
And I hope you stayed out all night long and never had hell to pay
Down in Biloxi
When you were forty-one
You forgot your problems
Down in Biloxi

I don’t give a damn that your car’s on fire
It ain’t none of my concern
And I don’t really care that you think I’m a liar
I know it’s just caruse you’re getting burned

It ain’t none of my concern
‘Cause I’m watching your mustang burn

I know what you’re thinking man your heart is sinking
Your car’s going up in flames
And it’s driving you crazy just thinking that maybe
Someone like me is to blame

It ain’t none of my concern
‘Cause I’m watching your mustang burn

She was a vision the perfect dimension of
What you thought true love would be
And she looked so good while you were under her hood
While your girlfriend was smiling at me
What did you expect me to do
I ain’t got no ties to you
It ain’t none of my concern
‘Cause I’m watching your mustang burn

Chorus:

Happy happy, country, country
Somethin’ snappy Somethin’ funny
Make ‘em laugh, make ‘em have a good time
Don’t make ‘em lonely cause it makes ‘em cry
Just give ‘em happy, happy, country, country
That’s what they want, man to feel that funky
Happy country music’s gonna make ‘em think everything
Is gonna be all right

So many people feelin afraid
It looks like everybody’s got it made
So many others feelin’ alone
Got no one to love ‘em when they get home

Chorus

They go to the bar to get away
From all the problems of everyday
Don’t need another tear in my beer
I got enough problems, don’t breing them here

Happiness and love that’s lost
We all want it and we pay the cost
But tonight let me get away
And talkin’ to the people, the people say

Chorus

I see you looking and I know what you think
You’re getting braver with every drink but
I am telling you something you need to know

She may look like a sweet young thing
Talking to him but she ain’t hearing a thing
If you were smart you’d turn around and let her go

That girls’ a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
She’s real good-looking but she’s got no heart at all

She puts on her makeup and drives to the bar in her
Boyfriend’s old man’s brand-new car
She’s got no idea what she does or why

She does whatever she wants I guess
Whatever comes first or whatever looks best
Nobody I know has ever seen her cry

(Chorus)

You should have seen her last Saturday night
She had a friend of mine treating her right
She was hanging on him until she found a better deal

You should have seen how cold she got
My buddy asked why and she said why not
Nobody I know swears she’s even real

(Chorus)

Goodnight moon, goodnight stars
Goodnight old broke down cars
I’m going away, I’m leaving soon
Goodnight darlin’
Goodnight moon
I don’t know where I’ll be
And I don’t know if I’ll see
Out the window of my room
Shining down
Goodnight moon
Thank you I’m gonna miss you
When the night comes round
That’s when I long to kiss you
When the moon shining on the ground
Goodnight moon, goodnight stars
Goodnight old broke down cars
I’m going away, I’m leaving soon
Goodnight darlin’
Goodnight moon

You could've been a contender
The next great white hope
Not just another pretender
Not just the next big joke
You had to reach for the stars though
Nobody gets it all
Without playin' a game, son
You're gonna take a fall

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down

You don't get nothin' for nothin'
Ain't that what they all say
We're all fightin' for somethin'
But there's a price to pay
Yeah, you can stand there forever
Just take it blow by blow
Nobody else is the wiser
They just came for the show

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down

But in the fists of a strange
There is a shadow of doubt
Go on pretend you're a winner
Go on sell yourself out

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me

You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down
You've never knocked me down

Dang the sun; dang this day
An' I'm just tryin' to stay outta your danged ol' way
To heck with this; to heck with us
An' shoot if I'll ever look back on where I've been
Shoot if I'll ever give away my heart again

Love you, love this town;
Love this mother-lovin' truck that keeps breakin' lovin' down
There's only one four-letter word that'll do:
Love you

Love your cat; love this house
Well, I can't believe myself that I'm lovin' gettin' out
Love talkin'; love fightin';
Thought of never seein' your lovin' face
There's some words that some words just have to replace

Love you; love this town;
Yeah, I'm sick an' lovin' tired of all your lovin' around
There's only one four-letter word that'll do:
Love you

Love you; love this town;
Yeah, I'm sick an' lovin' tired of all your lovin' around
There's only one four-letter word that'll do:
Love you

Love you; love this town;
Love this mother-lovin' truck that keeps breakin' lovin' down
There's only one four-letter word that'll do:
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you, honey
