Good-ole Santa Clause

There’s a little old man in a bright red suit
Who fly’s around each year
In a magic slay full of toys they say
Being pulled by eight rain dear

He’s a jolly old soul with a big white beard
And a smile across his face
And if you’ve been good you can count on him
Stopping by your place

Chorus:1
I’m talkin about Santa, good-ole Santa Clause
He’s the one who comes each Christmas
Bringing joy to all.

He’s brings lots of toys for the girls and the boys
And some gifts for mom and dad
He spreads Christmas cheer both far and near
Even if you’re happy or sad
He’s a sneaky old soul that will come and go
And will never leave a trace
But when Christmas morning finally comes
He’ll put a smile on everyone’s face

Chorus: 2
I’m talking about Santa, good-ole Santa Clause
He’s the one who comes each Christmas
Bringing gifts for all.

Now Santa lives at the old North Pole
With Mrs. Clause they say
He gets lots of help from some jolly Elves
When it comes to filling his slay
And his eight reindeer that rest all year
Are up and ready to go
All they need to hear from Santa
Is a mighty Ho! Ho! Ho!

Chorus" 3
I’m talking about Santa, good-ole Santa Clause
He’s the one who comes each Christmas
Bringing joy to all.

I play at life as if it were a game
I give in to chance with every waking day
Logic and reasoning has little hold on me
They only cloud the path to the person I should be

My game has rules like all games do
But the game I play has only two
You roll the dice than move ahead
You live your life until your dead

My game has many things in store
For those that choose to pick a door
But those that simply stay the path
Will live a life that leaves no tracks

Without the fear of choosing wrong
There are no words to your victory song
One day you’ll look back into your past
And judge your life by the memories you have
Of all the times you rolled the dice
And made a move that changed your life.

Verse 1:

I’ve got an old Ford truck that I bought in 85
It’s got a lot of hard miles, but the motor still runs fine.
It’s a little beat up cause the paint is chippen
One door don’t open, and the tailgates missin
But even in the morning it starts up every time.

Verse 2:

And I’ve got a big old dog that I’ve had for quite a while
She’s a real slow mover’ but I guess that’s just her stile
But when she hears that old Ford fire’n up
Quick as lightning she’s up in the truck
Ya that big old dog just sittin with a big ole smile

Chorus:

And I drive that truck every day to work and back
With my big old dog stretched out on a gunny sack
With the radio playing as loud as it can go
It’s just me and my dog and my truck goin down the road

Verse 3:

When the weekend comes we head down to the lake
With a cooler of bear and a couple of big ole stakes
Now I prefer my steak cooked medium well,
But my big old dog likes it bloody as hell
But it don’t really matter cause shell eat it any ole way

Chorus:

And I drive that truck every day to work and back
With my big old dog stretched out on a gunny sack
With the radio playing just as loud as it can go
It’s just me and my dog and my truck goin down the road

Verse 4:
It’s been a good old truck and it never really let me down
Sometimes I wonder how long it’s gonna be around
But when it’s time does come cause it just won’t start
Its gonna hurt me bad and probably break my heart
When I tear it down and sell the whole dang truck for parts

“But until then”

Chorus:

I'm gona drive that truck every day to work and back
With my big old dog stretched out on a gunny sack
With the radio playing just as loud as it can go
It’s just me and my dog and my truck goin down the road

Well he makes his living playing country music
With his old guitar he roams from town to town
You can always find him standing on a corner
Pickin on his guitar and sippen on some Crown

I guess the story goes he used to be a big star
Hell he even played the Opry so they say
But now he roams around with a tip Jar
Hopen that somebody ---will pay to hear him play

Choirs:
For life is hard and short in country music
There’s always someone new to take your place
But if you’re really good you just might make it
Unless you find the bottle ---and drink your fame away

People use to stand in line for hours
Just to hear him play his country songs
But over time he lost his mind to whisky
And like so many others –-- He went and lost it all

Now when you see him standing on your corner
Remember he’s a famous country star
So if you ask him to play a tune for ya
Don’t forget to put ---some money in his jar

Choirs:
For life is hard and short in country music
There’s always someone new to take your place
But if you’re really good you just might make it
Unless you find the bottle --- and drink your fame away

Darkness brings a cold chill

To those without a home

Huddled under concrete eves

They seek shelter till the dawn


Friendless faces cross their path

With haunting eyes they scorn

Seldom giving comfort

To the lonely and forlorn


The homeless have their history

The blame is often born

From riches lost or tragedies

Through no fault of their own


The days are long and lonely

The help they need is scarce

The begging feeds their stomachs

But does nothing for their fears


The pain they feel from illness

Is something that they bare

But the fate they fear is loneliness

Rejection and despair.

Well I’m just sitting on this old bar stool
And wonderin what I’m doin here tonight
Since all my old friends have moved on
Drinkin here alone just don’t seem right.

And listenin to that old Juke Box
Playing all those lonely country songs
You know those songs they make me realize
Most of what I’ve done in life was wrong

Now there are times when I just sit here
Thinking back when I was just a child
Back when Daddy use to tell me
You’d better straighten up your just to wild

And I remember daddy preachen
Son you’ll reap exactly what you sow
And if you let the Devil get you
Chances are he will never let you go

Well my Daddy never gave up
He always tried to do his very best
By teaching me the golden rule
And how to live my life without regret

And although he tried to change me
He always knew my road to hell was paved
Now lookin back its lookin like
My daddy he was write in many ways

Now I guess that I could get up
And walk myself right out those swinging doors.
And in time I just might realize that
Somewhere in this world there’s somethin more

But most likely I’ll just sit here
All alone and drink the night away
And not worry about tomorrow
For tomorrow it may never come my way

(Verse 1)
Well here we are alone at last
I can’t believe how time has past
The kids have all grown up
And moved away

(Verse 2)
Now every night we watch TV
It’s Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy
I really think that there could be
A little more to us.

Choirs:
There’s got to be a whole lot more
Than sitten round and growing old
At least that’s what I’m being told
In all the magazines

Maybe they might have it right
At least I think we need to try
To figure out how there could be
A little more to us

(Verse 3)
I really think that we should talk about
Going out on evening walks
And maybe holding hands
Like we use to do

(Verse 4)
And wouldn’t it be kind of nice
To walk along the beach some night
Who knows we just might find
A little more to us.

Choirs:
There’s got to be a whole lot more
Than sitten round and growing old
At least that’s what I’m being told
In all the magazines

Maybe they might have it right
At least I think we need to try
To figure out how there could be
A little more to us

(Verse 5)
Well how about we take a trip
Along the coast on a sailing ship
Where we could sit and watch
The sun go down

(Verse 6)
Or maybe we could take some time
And try to find some piece of mind
Who knows we just might find
A little more to us

Choirs:
There’s got to be a whole lot more
Than sitten round and growing old
At least that’s what I’m being told
In all the magazines

Maybe they might have it right
At least I think we need to try
To figure out how there could be
A little more to us

(Lyric 1)
Just when I thought I had beaten lonely
And my heart was on my side
No more worrying about tomorrow
I took one day at a time

(Lyric 2)
No more crying on my pillow
From regrets of yesterday
I had everything I wanted
Cause the lonely went away

Choirs:
Am I back to being lonely
Is my heart about to brake
Is the way I feel for you
Just a terrible mistake

Am I back to being lonely
Or am I just a fool
Afraid to feel the way
The way I feel for you.

(Lyric 3)
I know you say you love me
And that your love is true
You say forget the past
My futures here with you.

(Lyric 4)
But no matter how I try
And no matter what I do
I can’t put the fear aside
Yes the fear of losing you

Choirs:
Am I back to being lonely
Is my heart about to break
Is the way I feel for you
Just a terrible mistake

Am I back to being lonely
Or am I just a fool
Afraid to feel the way
The way I feel for you.

Music & Lyrics by Terry Stewart

(Verse 1)
They say that love is like a dance
Where two lovers take the other’s hand
Where the sound of their hearts sets the beat
As their eyes and bodies softly meet

Choirs: 1
So dance with me tonight
Let me hold you oh so tight
Let me lead you as we go
As I sway you to and fro

Dance with me tonight
Let the music fill your heart
Let the feelings we share last the night
As we dance till the early morning light

(Verse 2)
Take my hand and let us share the night
As we dance till we see the morning light
We may find just what we’re looking for
As we glide so softly across the floor.

Choirs: 2
So dance with me tonight
Let me hold you oh so tight
Let me lead you as we go
As I sway you to and fro

Dance with me tonight
Let the music fill your heart
Let the love we share be the light
That guides us safely across the floor
