The Whiskey Ain't Workin' lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
There was a time I could drink my cares away
And drown out all of the heartaches that hurt me night and day
When the thought of you came crashin' through I'd have one more
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
A woman warm and willing is what I'm looking for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
They knew my name at every bar in town
And they knew all of the reasons why I was coming round, round, round
'Cause in my mind peace I'd find when they'd start to pour
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
A woman warm and willing is what I'm looking for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
That's for sure!
And drown out all of the heartaches that hurt me night and day
When the thought of you came crashin' through I'd have one more
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
A woman warm and willing is what I'm looking for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
They knew my name at every bar in town
And they knew all of the reasons why I was coming round, round, round
'Cause in my mind peace I'd find when they'd start to pour
But now the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
I need one good honky tonk angel to turn my life around
That's reason enough for me to lay this old bottle down
A woman warm and willing is what I'm looking for
'Cause the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
Lord the whiskey ain't workin' anymore
That's for sure!
Can't You See lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
Gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care which way it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain, Lord

You Look So Good In Love lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
Oh how you sparkle
And oh how you shine
That flush on your cheeks
Is more than the wine
And he must do something
That I didn't do
whatever he's doing
It looks good on you
'Cause ou look so good in love
You want him that's easy to see
You look so good in love
And I wish, you still wanted me
He must have stolen
Some stars from the sky
And gave them to you
To wear in your eyes
I had my chances
But I set you free
And now I wonder
Why I couldn't see
You look so good in love
You want him that's easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish, you still wanted me
And oh how you shine
That flush on your cheeks
Is more than the wine
And he must do something
That I didn't do
whatever he's doing
It looks good on you
'Cause ou look so good in love
You want him that's easy to see
You look so good in love
And I wish, you still wanted me
He must have stolen
Some stars from the sky
And gave them to you
To wear in your eyes
I had my chances
But I set you free
And now I wonder
Why I couldn't see
You look so good in love
You want him that's easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish, you still wanted me
I Walk The Line lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
Take It Easy lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
Well I'm a runnin' down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl my Lord
in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in
So take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl my Lord
in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in
So take it easy
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Workin' Man Blues lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
It's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I been a workin' man dang near all my life
I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern,
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
Might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew
I'll drink a little beer that evening,
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
Cause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Sometimes I think about leaving, do a little bummin around
I wanna throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
But I go back working I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
Yeah drink a little beer that evening,
Cry a little bit of these working man blues
Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me
I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be
Cause I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
I drink a little beer that evening
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
Yeah drink a little beer that evening,
Cry a little bit of these working man blues
I been a workin' man dang near all my life
I'll be working long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink my beer in a tavern,
Sing a little bit of these working man blues
I keep my nose on the grindstone, I work hard every day
Might get a little tired on the weekend, after I draw my pay
But I'll go back workin, come Monday morning I'm right back with the crew

Hey hey, the working man, the working man like me

The Old Rugged Cross lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
On a hill far away stood an Old Rugged Cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the Old Rugged Cross, I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach, gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share
And I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
Yeah, I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the Old Rugged Cross, I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach, gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share
And I'll cherish the Old Rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
Yeah, I will cling to the Old Rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
In Pictures lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
I've got her photograph
On a stand by my bed
Two on the mantel
And thousands in my head
I can't believe how fast she's growing
It ain't suppose to be like this
Every time I look at her
I see how much I've missed
I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom hear
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures
I send the money down
I do my best to do my part
But it can't compare
With what I pay with my heart
There's still unanswered questions
That weigh heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why
I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom hear
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures
It takes all I have
To keep the tears inside
What I wouldn't give if
I could turn back time
I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my baby grow
Up in pictures
On a stand by my bed
Two on the mantel
And thousands in my head
I can't believe how fast she's growing
It ain't suppose to be like this
Every time I look at her
I see how much I've missed
I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom hear
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures
I send the money down
I do my best to do my part
But it can't compare
With what I pay with my heart
There's still unanswered questions
That weigh heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why
I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom hear
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures
It takes all I have
To keep the tears inside
What I wouldn't give if
I could turn back time
I missed her first steps
Her first words
I love you daddy
Is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so
To watch my baby grow
Up in pictures
Anymore lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
I can't hide the way I feel about you anymore
I can't hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My tears no longer waiting my resistance ain't that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending that I don't love you anymore
Let me make one last appeal to show you how I feel about you, hmmm
Cause there's no one else I swear, holds a candle, anywhere, next to you
My heart can't take the beating of not having you to hold
A small voice keeps repeating deep inside my soul
It says I can't keep pretending that I don't love you anymore
I've got to take the chance or let it pass by
If I expect to get on with my life
With my life
And I can't hide the way I feel about you anymore
And I can't hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My tears no longer waiting
Oh, my resistance ain't that strong
Oh, my mind keeps recreating a love with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore, anymore, anymore
I can't hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My tears no longer waiting my resistance ain't that strong
My mind keeps recreating a life with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending that I don't love you anymore
Let me make one last appeal to show you how I feel about you, hmmm
Cause there's no one else I swear, holds a candle, anywhere, next to you
My heart can't take the beating of not having you to hold
A small voice keeps repeating deep inside my soul
It says I can't keep pretending that I don't love you anymore
I've got to take the chance or let it pass by
If I expect to get on with my life
With my life
And I can't hide the way I feel about you anymore
And I can't hold the hurt inside, keep the pain out of my eyes anymore
My tears no longer waiting
Oh, my resistance ain't that strong
Oh, my mind keeps recreating a love with you alone
And I'm tired of pretending I don't love you anymore, anymore, anymore
Boots On lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
Man, I've been workin too hard
Ten hour days and I'm tired
Damn this knuckle busted',
back breakin', no paying job
Know where I'm goin from here
Hot headed women, cold beer
Kick up my heels for a little while
and do it country style
In my dirty 'ole hat
with my crooked little grin
Granny beaded neck
and these calloused hands
And a muddy pair of jeans
with that Copenhagen ring
No need to change a thing, hey y'all
I'm going out with my boots on
How I keep catching her eye
Man, I keep wondering why
Ain't nothing special 'bout
an "awe shucks" country boy
Lord, she's sure lookin' good
Like something from Hollywood
She got me thinkin' that I just might
leave here with her tonight
In my dirty 'ole hat
with my crooked little grin
Granny beaded neck
and these calloused hands
And a muddy pair of jeans
with that Copenhagen ring
No need to change a thing, hey y'all
I'm going out with my boots on
'Cause I am who I am and that's
the man I'm gonna be, yeah
And when the Lord comes callin',
well, he ain't gonna have
to holler, y'all
There'll be no trouble finding me
In my dirty 'ole hat
with my crooked little grin
Granny beaded neck
and these calloused hands
And a muddy pair of jeans
with that Copenhagen ring
No need to change a thing, hey y'all
I'm going out with my boots on
With my boots on
He's gonna take me home
Lord, with my boots on
Ten hour days and I'm tired
Damn this knuckle busted',
back breakin', no paying job
Know where I'm goin from here
Hot headed women, cold beer
Kick up my heels for a little while
and do it country style
In my dirty 'ole hat
with my crooked little grin
Granny beaded neck
and these calloused hands
And a muddy pair of jeans
with that Copenhagen ring
No need to change a thing, hey y'all
I'm going out with my boots on
How I keep catching her eye
Man, I keep wondering why
Ain't nothing special 'bout
an "awe shucks" country boy
Lord, she's sure lookin' good
Like something from Hollywood
She got me thinkin' that I just might
leave here with her tonight
In my dirty 'ole hat
with my crooked little grin
Granny beaded neck
and these calloused hands
And a muddy pair of jeans
with that Copenhagen ring
No need to change a thing, hey y'all
I'm going out with my boots on
'Cause I am who I am and that's
the man I'm gonna be, yeah
And when the Lord comes callin',
well, he ain't gonna have
to holler, y'all
There'll be no trouble finding me
In my dirty 'ole hat
with my crooked little grin
Granny beaded neck
and these calloused hands
And a muddy pair of jeans
with that Copenhagen ring
No need to change a thing, hey y'all
I'm going out with my boots on
With my boots on
He's gonna take me home
Lord, with my boots on
My Baby's Got A Smile On Her Face lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
She rose out of bed, wipes the sleep out of her eyes
I know she's bound to be tired, but she looks so satisfied
We stayed up a little late last night
I guess I must be doing something right
Cause my baby's got a smile on her face
My baby's got a smile on her face, oh yeah
As soon as I get to work I call her on the phone
I wanna tell her that I love her, I can't wait 'til I get home
She doesn't say a word when I walk in
Looks like we might not get much sleep again
Cause my baby's got a smile on her face
My baby's got a smile on her face
Every time we get together
My baby's got a smile on her face
Yeah, I wanna make it last forever
My baby's got a smile on her (you're gonna take it easy)
Just look at her, gotta look at her
Take a look at that smile on her face
I know she's bound to be tired, but she looks so satisfied
We stayed up a little late last night
I guess I must be doing something right
Cause my baby's got a smile on her face
My baby's got a smile on her face, oh yeah
As soon as I get to work I call her on the phone
I wanna tell her that I love her, I can't wait 'til I get home
She doesn't say a word when I walk in
Looks like we might not get much sleep again
Cause my baby's got a smile on her face
My baby's got a smile on her face
Every time we get together
My baby's got a smile on her face
Yeah, I wanna make it last forever
My baby's got a smile on her (you're gonna take it easy)
Just look at her, gotta look at her
Take a look at that smile on her face
I Ain't No Quitter lyrics - Craig Wayne Boyd
They call me hard headed
S.O.B.
I don't give up on nothing
It usually gives up on me
Like some teachers and some preachers do
When you're the kid that breaks too many rules
I guess I get that from my
Old man
I never seen 'em back down
Once he made a stand
Like when that bully pinned me down pounding me in the ground
I still feels those knuckles but I never said uncle
[Chorus:]
Cause I ain't no quitter
I'm a start to finish kind
Yeah I'm a big believer
Once I make up my mind
There ain't no givin' up
No ifs, no ands, no buts
I don't care how hard it gets
Yeah I stick with her
Cause I ain't no quitter
Some thinks she's crazy
For lovin' me
Yeah they wonder what she sees
That they can't see
They think that she could do better
But when it comes to forever
Man I'm as good as gold
Cause when it comes to love she knows
[Chorus]
There's always walls and dead ends to run into
and beat your head against but as long
as I can crawl, as long as I can climb
Ooh I might not come in first but I'll cross the line
I ain't no quitter I ain't no quitter
[Chorus]
S.O.B.
I don't give up on nothing
It usually gives up on me
Like some teachers and some preachers do
When you're the kid that breaks too many rules
I guess I get that from my
Old man
I never seen 'em back down

Like when that bully pinned me down pounding me in the ground
I still feels those knuckles but I never said uncle

Yeah I'm a big believer
Once I make up my mind
There ain't no givin' up

I don't care how hard it gets
Yeah I stick with her
Cause I ain't no quitter
Some thinks she's crazy
For lovin' me
Yeah they wonder what she sees
That they can't see
They think that she could do better
But when it comes to forever
Man I'm as good as gold
Cause when it comes to love she knows
[Chorus]
There's always walls and dead ends to run into
and beat your head against but as long
as I can crawl, as long as I can climb
Ooh I might not come in first but I'll cross the line
I ain't no quitter I ain't no quitter
[Chorus]
