    If We Make It Through December: Merle Haggard.

    Written by Merle Haggard.
    ( Tree Publishing Company.)
    From "A Christmas Present", 1973, Curb.

      If we make it through December,
      Ev'rything's gonna be all right, I know.
      It's the coldest time of winter,
      And I shiver when I see the falling snow.
      If we make it through December,
      Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime.
      Maybe even California,
      If we make it through December, we'll be fine.

    Got laid off down at the fact'ry,
    And their timing's not the greatest in the world.
    Heaven knows, I been working hard,
    I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl.
    I don't mean to hate December,
    It's meant to be the happy time of year.
    But my little girl don't understand,
    Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here.

      If we make it through December,
      Ev'rything's gonna be all right, I know.
      It's the coldest time of winter,
      And I shiver when I see the falling snow.
      If we make it through December,
      Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime.
      Maybe even California,
      If we make it through December, we'll be fine.

    This is one of my favorite country songs.

    Garth Brooks
    The River
    You know a dream is like a river
    Ever changin' as it flows
    And a dreamer's just a vessel
    That must follow where it goes
    Trying to learn from what's behind you
    And never knowing what's in store
    Makes each day a constant battle
    Just to stay between the shores.. and

    I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry
    Like a bird upon the wind
    These waters are my sky
    I'll never reach my destination
    If I never try
    So I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry

    Too many times we stand aside
    And let the waters slip away
    'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
    Has now become today
    So don't you sit upon the shoreline
    And say you're satisfied
    Choose to chance the rapids
    And dare to dance the tide.. yes

    I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry
    Like a bird upon the wind
    These waters are my sky
    I'll never reach my destination
    If I never try
    So I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry

    And there's bound to be rough waters
    And I know I'll take some falls
    But with the good Lord as my captain
    I can make it through them all.. yes

    I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry
    Like a bird upon the wind
    These waters are my sky
    I'll never reach my destination
    If I never try
    So I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry

    Yes, I will sail my vessel
    'Til the river runs dry
    'Til the river runs dry

    A Better Man: Clint Black.

    Written by Clint Black and Hayden Nicholas.
    ( Howlin' Hits Music.)
    From "Killing Time", 1989, BMG.

    What do you say when it's over.
    I don't know if I should say anything at all.
    One day we're rollin' in the clover,
    Next thing you know we take the fall.

    Still, I think about the years since I first met you,
    And the way it might have been without you here.
    I don't know if words from me can still upset you,
    But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear.

      I know I'm leavin' here a better man,
      For knowin' you this way.
      Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
      And I'm leavin here a better man.

    I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you,
    But I'd never be the one to set you free.
    Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you,
    You still believe in some old meant-to-be.

      Still, I'm leavin' here a better man,
      For knowin' you this way.
      Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
      And I'm leavin here a better man.

      Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man,
      For knowin' you this way.
      Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
      And I'm leavin here a better man.

      Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man.

    JOLENE

    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene can
    Your beauty is beyond compare
    With flaming locks of auburn hair
    With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
    Your smile is like a breath of spring
    Your voice is soft like summer rain
    And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

    He talks about you in his sleep
    And there is nothing I can do to keep
    From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
    And I can easily understand
    How you could easily take my man
    But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    I'm beggin' of you please don't take my man
    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    Please don't take him just because you can

    You could have your choice of men
    But I could never love again
    He's the only one for me, Jolene
    I had to have this talk with you
    My happiness depends on you
    Whatever you decide to do, Jolene

    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    I'm beggin' of you please don't take my man
    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    Please don't take him just because you can

    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    I'm beggin' of you please don't take my man
    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    Please don't take him even though you can, can, can
    -Dolly Parton

    Jourles, ain't you got no culture ?? Never heard a song by Merle Haggard or Garth Brooks I didn't like. Listen to them Joules, this music is real. Even the Aussies procuce folks such as Keith Urban.

    Hillbilly....

    Over Thanksgiving I went to the Grand Ole Opry, we saw Vince Gill, Little Jimmie Dickens, Bill Anderson, the main act was Tim McGraw? It was held at the old Ryman Hall? Really neat stuff?

    My sister in law went with us and she told me that Clint Black was the love child of Roy Rogers and Minnie Pearl?

    Reply,,,??

    All I can say is, I'm gettin hungry Hillbilly. And this thread is still goin.

    Shania Twain, does she count? She's one hot mama! OK, I could listen to her. But to be honest, I would have a hard time listening to the lyrics. **slops up the drool forming at the side of my mouth**

    Jourles-- all I gotta say is "I hope you eat grits boy." Ms. Twain does it for me too. Of course, you would have to be dead from the neck down not to like that girl.
