Okay I forgot about the trash
   A
I didn't trim the long hairs on my mustache
E                                             B
I did buy you a ring I believe it was back in '93
  E
Alright I admit it I forgot our anniversary
      A
But I did pick up the baby this mornin' at the nursery
             E                    B             E
That ain't no big thing but it's a gold star for me
(CHORUS)
A
You get tired and disgusted with me
E
When I can't be just what you want me to be
A
I still love you and I try real hard
F#                           B
I swear one day you'll have a brand new car
A
I even asked the Lord to try to help me
E                                     A
He looked down from heaven and said to tell you please
       E       B              E
Just be patient I'm a work in progress
E
I'm sorry I got mad waitin' in the truck
A
It seemed like hours you gettin' all dressed up
             E                         B
Just to go to Shoney's on a Wednesday night
   E
I read that book you gave me about Mars and Venus
A
I think it's sinkin' in but i probably need to re-read it
       E                   B                          E
But I'm startin' to see now what you've been sayin' is right
(CHORUS AGAIN) 
E
I know you meant well when you gave me those clogs
       A
But my heels sure get hot down by the muffler on my hog
        E                                B
I'm sure they're stylish but I'll take my boots
  E
I try to do that healthy thing like you want me to do
        A
But that low fat, no fat's gettin' hard to chew
               E
Now I love your cooking honey
    B                     E
But sometimes I need some real food
(CHORUS AGAIN) 
E
Oh honey just be patient now
B              E
I'm a work in progress

Cause life's like a river, And the water is deep

Cross it with care, Or you'll end up like me

Let my mistakes, Be your steppin' stones

When your (D)memory came floodin' in and you (Em)closed that door

Wish it was a (Em) freight train baby, wish it was a (C)diesel locomotive
I'd come (D)whistlin' down your track (Em)crashin' in your door
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it didn't (C)have a heart
You need a (D)shovel for the coal (Em)just to get me started
Wish it was a freight train baby, wish it was a (C) freight train baby
Wish it was a (D) freight train (Em)
Well (Em)every time I talk to you I (C)hear your jealous lines
I (D)feel like I've been left abandoned on (Em)some old railway side
And every time I hear your voice my (C)water just gets cold
My (D)stoker will not stoke and my (Em)boiler will not boil.

'Cause I'm an all American country boy
Verse:
I drive a pickup truck and I don't pass the buck
And I always speak my mind
I'm hooked on T.V., Rolaids, and B.C.'s
And I know how to have a good time
I'm a little bit rowdy and a little bit tame
Ain't no way I'm ever gonna change

Between The Devil And Me 
Tom: D
Intro: D
Verse:
               D
This world can take you by the hand
              G
And tempt the soul of any man
            D
But you can choose your path
                          A     Asus4  A
There's two roads you can take
           D
One way is right and one is wrong

Between the devil and me
Chorus:

The gates of hell swing open wide

Invitin' me to stop inside

I'll be your friend he calls
                   A
Again, I know it's him
               D
The flames are spreadin everywhere

Between the devil and me
Solo: D    A    D

I hold her in my arms tonight

Outside her reach is my concern
Somewhere I know a fire burns
And she's all I see
Between the devil and me

Blues Man 
Tom: G
G                                         C
He’s just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
          D                  G
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
                                          C
He’s not a walk behinder, he’s a new note finder
                 D            C                 D       G
But his names a reminder of a blues man that’s already gone
                                                             C
So he started drinkin’, took some things that messed up his thinkin’
             D                     G
He was sure sinkin’ when she came along
                                              C
He was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight
                     D                                 G
She changed all that one night when she sang him this song…
(chorus)
G                               Am
Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I need you
              D                        C                        G
Hey baby you ain’t got to prove to me you’re some kind of macho man
                                                        Am
You’ve wasted so much of your life, runnin’ through the dark nights
                       D           C       D          G
Let me shine a little love light, down on that blues man.
G                                                              C
He got so sick from speedin’, all the things they said he was needin’
                      D                   G
If he was to keep on pleasin’ all of his fans
                                              C
He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over no shows
                 D                  C                       G
She came an took all that old load down off that old blues man
And he sang…
(chorus)
G                                   Am
Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you
           D            C                 G
Hey baby I do get tired of this travelin’ band
                                              Am
I’m over forty years old now, nights would be cold now
               D                            G
If you hadn’t stuck it out with this blues man
                                                  Am
He’s over forty years old now, nights would be so cold now
               D                           G
If she hadn’t hung around with that blues man.

Sliding all the way
I need new piston rings

I need some new snow tires

My car is held together

By a piece of chicken wire
Chorus

Oh, rust and smoke
The heater's broke
The door just blew away

The muffler went
The radio's okay

To get some Christmas cheer
Am			D7
I just patched up my left front tire

And it's gettin' hard to steer
Skidding down the highway

Right past the county cops
		    D7
I have to drag my swampers
		     G
To get the car to stop
Verse 3
G
Bouncing through the snow drifts
			   C
In a big, blue cloud of smoke
		  D7
People laugh as I drive by
			G
I wonder what's the joke
I have to get to Wal-Mart
		  C
To pick up my layaway
		D7
'Cause Santa's comin' soon
			  G
In his big, old, rusty sleigh

But time and treasures have kept us from making plans as you know
             D                      
But come the morning of the rapture together we'll stand anew
        A                       D    D7                      
While I stroll over Heaven with you

In The Garden

I come to the garden alone

        D      D7    G           G7
And the joy we share as we tarry there
     D         A    D
None other has ever known

D                   
He speaks and the sound of His voice
      G                          D 
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
        A              Bm   A* D
And the melody that He gave to me
    E              A    
Within my heart is ringing
(Repeat Chorus)
D   
I'd stay in the garden with Him
           G                  D
Though the night around me be falling

But He bids me go through the voice of woe
    E              A
His voice to me is calling

Pop A Top 
Tom: G

 

G         C      D                               G
Pop a top again  I've just got time for one more round
              C       D
Set 'em up my friend, then I'll be gone
            Am             C          G
And you can let some other fool sit down.
G                   C           D            G
I'd like for you to listen to a joke I heard today
                      C
>From a woman who said she was through
    D             G                          C
And calmly walked away, I tried to smile and did awhile
       D             G                             C
But it felt so outta place, did you ever hear of a clown with teardrops
D                  G
streaming down his face.
                                          CHORUS
G         C    D                           G
Pop a top again I think I'll have another round
              C       D
Set 'em up my friend, then I'll be gone
            Am             C         G
And you can let some other fool sit down.
                     (instrumental)
G           C              D                G
Home for me its misery and here I'm wasting time
                        C
Saw a row of fools on a row of stools
     D                G
It's not what's on my mind
                 C              D               G
But then you see her leaving me it's not what I prefer
G                        C                D                G
So it's either here just drinking beer or home remembering her.
                            (repeat chorus)
Little Man 
Tom: C
Intro: C, F 
Verse 1
C                            G
remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
F
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want 
C                                 G
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry
             F
And the ol' Lee king's and the pots they carried
C                          F
They were the little man
C                F
The little man
Verse 2
C                        G
I go back now and the stores are all empty
F
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
C                      G
Boarded up like they never existed
F
Or renovated and called historic districts
                  C            F
There goes the little man
                  C
There goes the little man
Chorus:
          Am                   F 
Now the court square's just a set of streets
           C                         G
That the people go round but they seldom think
            Am             F
Bout the little man that built this town
C                      G 
Before the big money shut em down
                  C          F
And killed the little man
          C
Oh the little man
Same all the way through
Verse 3
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
The new stores came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget about the little man
Forget about that little man
Verse 4
He hung on there for a few more years
But he couldn't sell slurpees
And he wouldn't sell beer
Now the bank rents the station
To a man down the road
And they sell velvet Elvis and
Second-hand clothes
There goes little man
There goes another little man
Chorus then lead
Verse 5
Now the are lined up in a concrete strip
You can buy the world with just one trip
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
They don't even realize
They'er killin' the little man
Oh the little man
Chorus
Verse 6
It wasn't long when I was a child
An old black man came with his plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd all forgot about the little man
The little man
Long live the little man 
God bless the little man

Two young people without a  thing
         G                     C
Say some vows and spread their  wings
            G                                      D
And settle down to just what they need livin' on  love
           G                     D
She don't care 'bout what's in  style
          G                  C
She just likes the way he  smiles
          G                     D               G
It takes more than marble and tile livin' on  love

              C                        G                D
Just like an old fashioned sory book rhyme livin' on  love
            G                          D
It sounds simple. That's what you're  thinkin'
              G                          C
But love can walk through fire without  blinkin'
                 G                   D                 G

Children gone but still they sing

Side beside in that front porch swing livin' on  love
          G       D              G                 C
He can't see anymore. She can barely sweep the  floor
         G                              D               G
Hand in hand they'll walk though that door livin' on  love

I guess It's  just not my day
     G          Bm          C       D7
The wind blew my morning paper  away
                        C
Then I cut my toe on a sliver of  glass
           D7                             C    D    Em D Em D7
From that storm door you  broke when you left here so  fast

If it ain't one thing it's you

If you've  heard that I'm goin' crazy, it's  true

The wheels  seem to fall off whatever I  do

If it ain't one thing it's you
VERSE  2

Well, I rented that movie you  hate
          G   Bm        C              D7
But that old VCR just chewed up the  tape
                                         C
Then I went to the freezer, thought I'd cook me a  steak
       D7                           C   D  Em    D  Em D7
All I found was that  old piece of our wed-ding cake
