He was born in Oklahoma, His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz And he's not responsible for what he's doing Cause his mother made him what he is.
And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother, Mother, who has raised her son so well. He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk. Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
Sure does like his Falstaff beer, Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor; Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck; He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker
And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother, Mother, who has raised her son so well. He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk. Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
Well, M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck O is for the Oil I put on my hair T is for T-bird H is for Haggard E is for eggs, and R is for REDNECK.

You're Beautiful lyrics
My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure. She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man. But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was, Flying high, And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you.

Those are nice. Reminds me of this one
Always wanting you, but never having you, Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again. Always loving you, but never touching you, Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.
I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never looked at you the second time. 'Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes meet mine.
And there I saw a yearning and a feeling 'cross the room that you felt for me. Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in mind could never be.
Always wanting you, but never having you, Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again. Always loving you, but never touching you, Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand.

Photographs and memories Christmas cards you sent to me All that I have are these To remember you
Memories that come at night Take me to another time Back to a happier day When I called you mine
But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh how I loved you then
Summer skies and lullabies Nights we couldn't say good-bye And of all of the things that we knew Not a dream survived
Photographs and memories All the love you gave to me Somehow it just can't be true That's all I've left of you
But we sure had a good time When we started way back when Morning walks and bedroom talks Oh how I loved you then

Desperado The Eagles
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses? You been out ridin’ fences for so long now Oh, you’re a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin’ you Can hurt you somehow
Don’ you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She’ll beat you if she’s able You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can’t get
Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no youger Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talkin’ Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine It’s hard to tell the night time from the day You’re loosin’ all your highs and lows Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late

When I Need You - Leo Sayer
When I Need You
When I need you I just close my eyes and I'm with you And all that I so wanna give you It's only a heartbeat away
When I need love I hold out my hands and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day Miles and miles of empty space in between us The telephone can't take the place of your smile But you know I won't be travelin' forever It's cold out, but hold out, and do I like I do
When I need you I just close my eyes and I'm with you And all that I so wanna give you, babe It's only a heartbeat away It's not easy when the road is your driver Honey that's a heavy load that we bear But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do
Oh, I need you
[Instrumental Interlude]
When I need love I hold out my hands and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you I just close my eyes And you're right here by my side Keeping me warm night and day I just hold out my hands I just hold out my hand And I'm with you darlin' Yes, I'm with you darlin' All I wanna give you It's only a heartbeat away
Oh, I need you darling

Unchained Melody The Righteous Brothers
Oh my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine I need your love, I need your love God speed your love too me Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea, yeah Lonely rivers sigh 'Wait for me, wait for me' I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine I need your love, I need your love God speed your love to me
Who doesn't love that one?

Angel Elvis Presley (Words & music by Sid Tepper - Roy C. Bennett)
Angel, with those angel eyes Come and take this earth boy Up to paradise
Angel, may I hold you tight? Never kissed an angel Let me kiss one tonight
If I said "I love you" Would I be speaking out of turn? I'm only human, but I'm willing to learn
Angel, make my wish come true Let me be in heaven here on earth with you
Angel, never kissed an angel Let me kiss one tonight
If I said "I love you" Would I be speaking out of turn? I'm only human, but I'm willing to learn
Angel, make my wish come true Let me be in heaven here on earth with you
Angel, Angel

Desperado used to be my favorite. It was one of the few "rock" songs I could sing and play on the guitar. <grin>
