  Ah,Dede my dear.Ask and ye shall receive...

  Blues Man ~ Hank Williams,Jr.

  I'm just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer, kind of a clinger to sad old songs.

  I'm not a walk behind'er, I'm a new note finder but my name's a reminder of a bluesman that already gone.

  So I started drinking,took things that messed up my thinking ,I was sure sinking when you came along.

  I was alone in the hot lights,not too much left in sight but she changed all that one night when she sang me this song.

  Hey baby I love you.Hey baby I need you.Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me that your some kind of macho man.

  You've wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights let me shine some love light down on this bluesman

  I got so sick from speeding all the stuff they said I wasn't needed if I was to keep pleasing all of my fans.

  I got cuffed on dirt roads.I got sued over no shows but she came and took all that ole load down off this bluesman.

  Hey baby I love you too.Hey baby I need you.Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band.

  I'm thirty years old now nights would be cold now if you hadn't stuck it out in this bluesman.

  I'm thirty years old now,nights sure would be cold now if you hadn't hung around for this bluesman.

  AHHHH yeah,,,,,, Cowboy,,,,,,,, that's it...... God I love to hear that song. Thanks for the lyrics I am trying to memorize them now.......... I remember the song from the Hank.Jr. Story, (JohnBoy Walton/Richard Thomas) played him........ interesting story.

  I am almost postive Alan Jackson also sings this song,,,,, I will check it out.

  Whoever is singing it other than Hank Jr, also does a great job,,,,,,,,,,,, I am usually at the club when I have heard this song.......so I am not sure .

  Thanks Cowboy............... The local JWD Singing Cowboy,,, ,,, Music is always great to talk about.......hugs,,Dede

  Garth Brooks

  Somewhere Other Than The Night
  
  He could see the storm clouds rollin' across the hill
  He barely beat the rain in from the field
  And between the backdoor slammin' she heard him say
  "Damn this rain and damn this wasted day"
  But she'd been waitin' for this day for oh so long
  She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her
  apron on
  And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while
  When their eyes met, they both began to smile
  
  Somewhere other than the night
  She needs to hear I love you
  Somewhere other than the night
  She needs to know you care
  She wants to know she's needed
  She needs to be held tight
  Somewhere other than the night
  
  They spent the day wrapped up in a blanket
  On the front porch swing
  He'd come to realize he'd neglected certain things
  And there are times she feels alone even by his side
  It was the first time she ever saw him cry
  
  Somewhere other than the night
  She needs to hear I love you
  Somewhere other than the night
  She needs to know you care
  She wants to know she's needed
  She needs to be held tight
  Somewhere other than the night
  
  She needs to know she's needed
  She needs to be held tight
  Somewhere other than the night

  I like that country song by Faith Hill where she's wearing tight clothes or the one where she gets all wet. You know, a good song.

  An old favorite of mine from Hank Williams,Jr.

  Dinosaur

  Hey man them ain't high heel sneakers and they sure don't look like cowboy boots

  and that ain't rock-n-roll you're playin and it sure ain't country or rhythm and blues

  Your singin' a song about making love to your drummer. Well gay guitar pickers don't turn me on

  and we don't all get into Donna Summer. Do you happen to know any ole Hank Williams songs?

  Cause you see I'm a dinosaur I should have died out along time before.

  Have pity on a dinosaur.Hand me my hat, excuse me man but where's the door?

  It used to be I had alot of fun in this ole hangout.We'd get stoned at the jukebox and stay out of fights.

  Now and then light a little smoke in the truck out back.Oh then a little ole Jim Beam and we'd get right.

  You know these flashin' lights they sure make me dizzy and this disco is very strange to my ears.

  It looks like they've turned the Longhorn into a spaceship and I'll be leaving as soon as I finish this beer.

  Cause you see I'm a dinosaur.Should 've died out along time before.

  There's a whole lot of dinosaurs.Give us our hats,excuse me man but where's the door?

  Get us our hats, 'scuse me man,but where's the door?
