Lyrics Not Bad For A Good Ole Boy - Dusty Drake

He was never voted "Most Likely to Succeed"
But still he married Tammy Bell, the prettiest girl in all of Knox County
And his uncle got him on at Thompson's Tool and Die
And now he;s a foreman and he's home each night by five

Not Bad for a farmer's son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He's got a house full of love and a yard full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain't the richest man in Illinois
But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy

He got his picture in the paper right on the front page
He's smilin' with a nine-point buck he took on openin' day
Just last summer he bulit a deck on the house
And a fiew the family down to Florida to meet Mickey Mouse

Not Bad for a farmer's son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He's got a house full of love and a yard full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain't the richest man in Illinois
But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy

Well he's a little league coach and a junior college grad
A volunter fireman and a full-time dad

Not Bad for a farmer's son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He's got a house full of love and a yard full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain't the richest man in Illinois
But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy

Lyrics One Last Time - Dusty Drake

When she picked up the telephone,
His voice came on the line,
She said "This can't be happening,"
And tears fell from her eyes.
She said "What am I supposed to do?
I can't handle loosin' you,"
He said "I just had to call and say goodbye,
One last time."

He said: "There are some things in this life,
"That are out of our control.
Like who we fall in love with,
And when it's time to go."
She said: "What about the plans we had?"
He said: "This connection's gettin' bad,
Now c'mon baby, let me hear you smile,
One last time."

She started to apologize,
For all the things that she'd done wrong.
She said: "I would have loved you better.
If only I'd known."
He said: "You were the perfect wife,
Promise me you'll go on with your life."
She said: "The boys won't understand."
He said: "Tell 'em Daddy loves 'em and, be strong... whoa"

He said: "Hun, I've gotta go."
She said: "Don't you dare hang up...
There's so many things I need to say,
I love you so much."
It was almost like she felt him leave.
She cried out: "Can you still hear me??"
She fell down on the kitchen floor
When the signal died,
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive
One last......

Lyrics Smaller Pieces - Dusty Drake

I knew when you left me,
That you�d be back someday
And I know there was a chance
You�ll leave again.
But thats one i've gotta take..

Girl after all,
What have you got to loose?
The worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into

-Chorus-
Smaller pieces,
Bigger tear drops
Cold or lonely
Hell white lies
What�s another good bye
Might as well give it one more try,
The worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into
Smaller pieces

Darlin come on in,
What are you waitin for,
You might hurt me again,
But you can�t hurt me anymore,
So tell me that you love me,
And I�ll tell myself its true,
The worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into�.

-Chorus-
Smaller pieces,
Bigger tear drops
Cold or lonely
Hell white lies
What�s another good bye
Might as well give it one more try,
The worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into
Smaller pieces

Hell white lie,
What�s another goodbye,
Might as well give it one more try,
Girl the worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into smaller pieces.
I knew when you left me,

That you�d be back someday.

Lyrics An Then - Dusty Drake

she reaches out to touch me
shes smiles when i get lost in her brown eyes
just knowing that she loves me
makes everything thats wrong in my world alright

and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
----------------------------------------------------------
chorus

i jump out of bed, and i jump in the shower
get dressed in a hurry, just to wait in rush hour
drink cold coffee from a styrofoam cup
sittin at my desk workin just as the sun comes up
the phones don't stop and my head keeps spinnin
gotta keep puttin up with the crap just to make a livin
its yes sir no sir havent got the answer call me in the
mornin its past five again
and theeeeeeeeeen
---------------------------------------------------------------
she reaches out to hold me
its peace i find when im in her lovin heart
just knowin that shes always there gives me the strength i need
to keep goin on
and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
---------------------------------------------------------------
chorus

its day after day of the same old thing
cant help feeling like a puppet on a string
to keep me dancin to the same old song
before i know it my vacations come and gone
im just sick and tired of the constant grind
hangin by a thread goin out of my mind
doctors, taxes, lawyers, faxes it a vicious circle goin
round and round again
and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
--------------------------------------------------------------
just knowin that she loves me
makes everything thats wrong in my world alright
and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
and then

Lyrics The Wish - Dusty Drake

The crowd rose to their feet
'round a diamond made of clay
a little boy was rounding third
but the ball beat him to the plate
before the dust could even settle
the other team began to cheer
instead of riding up on shoulders
hes fighting back the tears
i wish i could've won
i wish i knew how that feels
i wish i could've won
faster than the throw from centerfield
'cause being the hero, sure looks like a lot of fun
and i wish i was there
i wish life was fair
i wish i could've won
sitting there by the dugout
another boy was watching through the fence
and dreaming 'bout the things that he could do
if he was only given half a chance
amazed at the reaction of the team
kicking dirt and pitching fits
he says, "i know they'd sit it differently if they could see from where i sit
i wish i could've lost
i wish i knew how that feels
i wish that i could walk
without the help of these four wheels
i'd be as happy as a hero
just to play the game at all
and i wish that i was there
i wish that life was fair
i wish i could've lost
yeah i wish that life was fair
and i could get out of this chair
i wish i could've lost

Lyrics The Hard Way - Dusty Drake

Ain't no short way up the mountain
Ain't no easy way to cross that river
When it's draggin' you under
Ain't no sure thing you can count on
Break down these walls
I'll beg, I'll crawl
I'd risk it all to get to you
CHORUS: I fall in love the hard way
I fall in love the hard way
Straight to your heart
The hard way
I got nothing left to lose
But I got everything to prove
To prove my love for you
I know just what I've gotta do
And I'll walk the wire
Above the fire
My one desire's to get to you
REPEAT CHORUS
Ain't nothing worth havin'
If it comes too easy
'Cause if it comes too easy
You might lose that love someday
The hard way
Break down these walls
I'll beg, I'll crawl
I'd risk it all to get to you
I fall in love the hard way
