Love vs. Pain - Love Is Stronger Than Pain

Every night the sun drops down

And finds me thinking of you

Another day the world went ‘round

When I didn’t have you

Life is hurting me bad now

But I’m still in the game

When I cry it’s tears of love now

Love is stronger than pain

I’ve always heard from my elders

That you’ve got to move on

Make hay when the sun shines

And the rooster splits the dawn

Like my Grandma said

Son it’s hard to explain

Though I miss your Grandpa

Love is stronger than pain

Love is stronger than pain

Irish Whiskey - Love Is Stronger Than Pain

Pour me some Irish whiskey

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day

I’m feeling green my good friend

Pour me some Irish whiskey

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day

I may never pass this way again

Shamrock on my lapel came from my sister Michelle

Mullaney was my mother’s maiden name

Brother Michael paints I believe in all the saints

Danny is truly my name

Pour me some Irish whiskey

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day

I’m feeling green my good friend

So pour me some Irish whiskey

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day

I may never pass this way again

My maiden is Gayle

With my guitar I tell the tale

Those I’ve lost I pray I find in Heaven

Sometimes I leak tears

But really I have no fears

I know some Irish angels in Heaven

So pour me some Irish whiskey

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day

I’m feeling green my good friend

Pour me some Irish whiskey

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day

I may never pass this way again

Pour me some Irish whiskey

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day

Raining in Nashville - Love is Stronger Than Pain

Well it’s raining in Nashville

And I took some pills

It’s raining in Nashville

Wet cowboy boots and rhinestones

Tommy tell me Tony Joe was this alone

It was raining and he was stoned

Take me to Printer’s Alley Street

Tell the taxi man I got wet feet

Last month I broke my wrist

Good Lord threw me another twist

Gone woman and a broken wrist

Am I stumbling where Hank stood

I’m Calijah I’m stoned as wood

Standing where Hank stood

Take me to Broadway Street

Tootsie’s or Three Doors Down

Hey the taxi man knows I still got wet feet

Somewhere behind the Ryman

Well it’s raining in Nashville

I suspect I’m mentally ill

It’s raining in Nashville

It’s raining in Nashville

Baby Blue Skies - Love is Stronger Than Pain

The brightest light I’ve ever seen

I only see now when I dream

So let me dream of baby blue bright skies

I’ve seen the tears to raise the river

Wind so strong the trees were stripped bare

I’ve seen your trembling touch faltering

I’ve never questioned that you care

The brightest light I’ve ever seen

I only see now when I dream

So let me dream of baby blue bright skies

The brightest light I’ve ever seen

I only see now when I dream

So let me dream of baby blue bright skies

So let me dream of baby blue bright skies

Bright eyes

Heaven’s Rain - Love is Stronger Than Pain

Black and white TV on the kitchen counter

Yesterday was forty years ago

White paint on the walls has gone to yellow

From starlight this world will never know

Grey gone days not distinguished

From the cigarette smoke on the glass

Time is simply a stranger

Just wandered in from the past

Brown dog is an old family pet

But the blue-eyed cat is gone down

Jazz that rippled through his veins

Is now a rosebush pushing through the ground

Uncle Gary he writes a sad old letter

For fourteen years he’s been in our shoes

Birth and death like holiday poinsettias

Red with Christmas blues that we can use

But for hurt there’s no forget

Real love is fostered in the pain

Sweet misery and regret

Is as pure as Heaven’s rain

Pure as Heaven’s rain

It’s pure as Heaven’s rain

Sweet misery and regret

Pure as Heaven’s rain

Pure as Heaven’s rain

The Wind Waits - Love is Stronger Than Pain

Soft sunrise pink on the mountains

And the wind waits for you

Sleepless eyes darkness in retreat

And the wind waits for you

But I’m leaving down the byways and the highways

Down roads that have no names

My love will linger like the snowflakes a-fallin’

With no one to blame

But the wind waits for you

The wind waits for you

Pine smoke rising sun on the shadows

Still the wind waits for you

I know you’re coming but I found wings

And I can’t wait for you

I’m leaving down the byways and the highways

Down roads that have no names

My love will linger like the snowflakes a-fallin’

There’s no one to blame

But the wind waits for you

Oh the wind waits for you

Where I Come From - Love is Stronger Than Pain

Where I come from the weather’s so cold

It’ll rip and tear the skin right off your bones

Where I come from the summer’s so warm

Sweat drops come just before the clouds form

Where I come from everybody knows

There's a one-way ticket outta here that leads you back home

Mothers love their daughters

Like old men love the past

You can hear the farmers praying

For summer rains to last

Folks will forgive whatever you may lack

They’ll give you the shirt right off their back

If they have it they’ll give you some

They’ll give you some

They’ll give you some

Where I come from

Where I come from

Where I come from brothers go to war

When you think that’s not enough and they want more

Where I come from we all feel tears

When giving others the reason

For some Texan’s fears

Where I come from some people don’t care

But I do

But I do

So I’ll share

I’ll share

It’s hard to forgive

All the things we lack

I don’t think I give him that oh no

But I have it so I’ll give him some

A piece of my mind

Give him some

Give him some

Where I come from

Where I come from

Where I come from there is love

You can see the children praying to above

Where I come from you can see for miles away

And though I leave my heart still stays

Will you forgive all the things I lack

Would you give me the shirt right off your back

If you have it will you give me some

I know you have it

Will you give me some

Give me some

Where I come from

Where I come from

Where I come from

Where I come from

Left Handed Angel - Love is Stronger Than Pain

Such a beautiful boy

Such a beautiful man

Why you took him now Lord

I just don’t understand

Lord I pray you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Lord I think you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Sweet blonde curls and eyes so baby blue

I ask you Lord what am I gonna do

Lord I think you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Lord I know you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

We listened to you sing standing proud and tall

Were you already flying when you took that fall

Lord I think you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Lord I know you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Lord put any sin he had on my tab

Please forgive me sometimes I was a wayward dad

I want to feel him here now please open me that way

Thinking of that boy flying with you gets me through the day

And I said Lord I pray you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Lord I pray you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Lord you have yourself another left-handed angel

Lord I think you’ve got yourself another left-handed angel

Cornfield Prayers - Love is Stronger Than Pain

I prayed in a cornfield last night

Underneath the Januarys full moonlight

I was walking with my dog

Dropping teardrops in the snow

I pray now wherever I go

He was a blue-eyed boy beautiful and wild

Parents should never have to lose a child

Wind talks for me now

Tells me things that I don’t know

I pray now wherever I go

I pray now wherever I go

The tsunami came and all angels had to fly

To help all them souls into the sky

Angel in my sleep he said he had to go

He said to pray wherever I go

I pray now wherever I go

I pray now wherever I go

Somewhere Somehow - Love is Stronger Than Pain

I saw you ridin’ fast moving clouds

Lying low with no rain

I felt you there in the chill of the wind

Beyond what I can explain

Someday somehow some way

I’ll be going home with you

I saw you walking last night in my dreams

I cried when I saw your face

You were so young the shine was on you

Made me wish that I’d finish this race

Well someday somehow some way

I’ll be going home with you

Shine on with Jesus I know he let’s you shine

Ill be joining you someday when I’ve done my time

Be watching the clouds

Every night and day

Someday somehow some way

Someday somehow some way

I said someday somehow some way

I’ll be going home with you

I’ll be going home with you
