Angel
Standing in the Rain - It Takes A Lot
Lightening
flashes
I don’t trust my eyes
There’s an angel standing in the rain
In the dark of night
In a world full of lies
There’s an angel standing in the rain
Thunder crashes
I hear baby crying
And painful life that still remains
This storm is a killer
There’s no denying
But there’s an angel standing in the rain
Lord, take these prayers from a sinner
I saw your angel standing in the dark
He reached inside my heart
He shared all our pain
That angel standing in the rain
Lightening flashes
I don’t trust my eyes
But
there’s an angel standing in the rain
Nights
Turn Cold
- It
Takes A Lot
Nights
turn cold
Nothing you can do
Nights turn cold
Ain’t nothing you can do
Nights turn cold
Baby don’t want you
I drink whiskey
When I can’t stand myself
I drink whiskey
When I can’t stand myself
Nights turn cold
Sitting on a night shelf
Door is open
The door is closed
Door is open
That door is closed
Nights turn cold
She won’t step out our her clothes
I don’t see right
Cause a woman stole my eyes
I don’t see right
Cause a woman stole my eyes
Nights turn cold
As I define my alibis
Nights turn cold
Nothing you can do
Nights turn cold
Ain’t a damned thing you can do
Nights turn cold
Baby don’t want you
She’s
Chasing Yesterday - It Takes A Lot
Well there’s nothing you can do to try and change her
And there’s nothing you can do to make her stay
There’s nothing you can do that you ain’t already done
She’s chasing yesterday
She’s still striking she’s aged well
Her figure’s a little fuller but that’s OK
You’re smiling sad
Hell, that seems to make her mad
She’s chasing yesterday
I saw her dancing in a bar room
No place you’d expect and out of the way
With a short attention span and a shorter skirt
She’s chasing yesterday
And I imagine her riding on a Harley
Her hair blown back on a sun shiny day
Oh man she’d ride
You know she’d ride
She’s chasing yesterday
I said man she’d ride
You know she’d ride
She’s chasing yesterday
We’re Gonna Get Through This - It Takes A Lot
We’re gonna get though this
I’m gonna have to insist
We’ve been together too long
To ever call it quits
We’re gonna make mistakes
We’re gonna get a few bad breaks
That’s just the way it is
Come on and give me a kiss
We’re gonna get through this
We spent another evening without much conversation
Because of what I’d done the night before
Look anywhere you’ll find this lack of communication
And couples who talk less even more
But honey we’re gonna get though this
I’m gonna have to insist
We’ve been together too long
To ever call it quits
We’re gonna make mistakes
We’re gonna get a few bad breaks
That’s just the way it is
Come on and give me a kiss
We’re gonna get through this
I ain’t proud of everything I’ve said and done
Sometimes I’ve had a little too much fun
I’ve been fighting all my life I’ve never won
But honey just remember when it ‘s all said and done
We’re gonna get though this
I’m gonna have to insist
We’ve been together too long
To ever call it quits
We’re gonna make mistakes
We’re gonna get a few bad breaks
That’s just the way it is
Come on and give me a kiss
We’re gonna get through this
It comes down to two
That’s me and you
We headed down this road
The day we said I do
We’re gonna make some wrong turns
We’ve got a lot left to learn
That’s just the way it is
Come on and give me a kiss
We’re gonna get through this
That’s just the way it is
Come on and give me a kiss
We’re gonna get through this

Down at the River - It Takes A Lot
I’m down at the river
Waiting for you
I received some bad news
Last time I was through
And up on the hilltop
I see an old Indian man
He was watching over me
Watching over his land
I’m down at the river
Waiting on my chance
To hold you once again
Where the angels dance
And the sunset has your smile
Good rivers gather all your tears
Love only gets sweeter
With the passing of the years
Down at the river
Where we used to play
I spend my time fishing
Learning how to pray
When I hear you laughing
Well I look into the sky
And call upon the raindrops
To join me when I cry
It Takes a Lot - It Takes A Lot
It takes a lot of heartache
Takes a lot of pain
It takes a whole lot of everything
When a good heart beats
And then goes down
That’s the sound of angels
Coming across town
It takes a lot of cussing
Takes a lot of prayers
It takes a whole bunch of what we ain’t got here
Need Grandma Mullaney
In a dressing gown
And the sound of angels
Coming across town
It takes a lot of noise
It takes a lot of pain
It takes bunch of fat old businessmen
Dressed up and acting like saints
To earn a little hospital money
Dressed up like crazy clowns
That’s the sound of angels
Coming across town
It takes a lot of sunshine
It takes a lot of laughter
It takes a whole lot of work
To get what you’re after
And prayers in the wind when that sun goes down
To join the sound of angels
Coming across town
Staying at this Hotel - It Takes A Lot
I’ve been out ridin’
Ridin’ with my shadow
I’ve been out talkin’
Talkin’ to myself
Looking for that woman
Longing for that woman
Hurtin’ for that woman
That put me on the shelf
I’m staying at this hotel
I guess it’s all right by me
With continental breakfast
Imaginary friends stay free
Ain’t getting any smarter
Ain’t getting any smarter
Still thinking about a woman
That just had to go
I’m losing my sanity
I lost my dignity
Thank God my virginity
Left a long time ago
I’m staying at this hotel
I guess it’s all right by me
With continental breakfast
And imaginary friends stay free
Well I’m staying at this hotel
I guess it’s all right by me
This continental breakfast
And where imaginary friends stay free
I’m staying at this hotel
I guess it’s all right by me
With continental breakfast
And where imaginary friends stay free
Well I’m staying at this hotel
I guess it’s all right by me
This continental breakfast
And imaginary friends stay free
Well I’m staying at this hotel
I guess it’s all right by me
This continental breakfast
And imaginary friends stay free
Send More Angels Down - It Takes A Lot
Well they got him down with tazer guns at the Mercy Lounge
The newspapers said he was Earl Bud’s kid
Man that’s crazy what the law will let them do
That’s evil what they did
Lord, send angels down
Lord, send more angels down
Lord please won’t you send more angels down
Send more angels down
Well he was partying too hard the bouncers said
Might have been booze might have been a little ‘cid
Got his GED just got out of school
Lawman killed him for acting like a fool
Lord, send more angels down
Lord, send more angels down
Lord please won’t you send more angels down
Lord, send more angels down
I believe he was hurting himself and nobody else
Just hurting himself and really not nobody else
Just a kid hurting himself
Hurting himself and nobody else
Lord, send more angels down
Lord, send more angels down
Lord please won’t you send more angels down
Lord, send more angels down
Good Boots - It Takes A Lot
Sky is blue
Spring has sprung
My horse can still run
Lead me to the trail
Lead me to the trail
Every cowboy limps a little
Knows true love’s a riddle
Tries not to let it fail
Tries not to let it fail
Good boots are mandatory
When you walk from Hell to Purgatory
Places a horse won’t go
Places a horse won’t go
The Badlands are pretty in the orange sunsets
And they’re easy on the mind trying hard to forget
Don’t go down that trail
Hey no don’t go down that trail
If there’s a woman knows what you’re after
Gives it freely thereafter
Man you need to get led to that trail
You need to get led to that trail
If she loves you a bunch or a little
Try to meet her in the middle
Try not to let that love fail
Try not to let it fail
Good boots are mandatory
When you walk from Hell to Purgatory
Places a horse won’t go
Places a horse won’t go
Friend the Badlands are pretty in the orange sunsets
And they’re easy on the mind trying hard to forget
But don’t go down that trail
Hey don’t go down that trail
Tonight - It Takes A Lot
My beautiful lady
She has a gentle need
And tonight I’m here to stay
I can’t answer for tomorrow
I only live inside today
And the lawman’s coming round
He’s trying to take me down
There ain’t no way he can find me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Ain’t no way he can find me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
That lady has a healing touch
Tonight she takes away my pain
She don’t ask me any questions
As I lie here and listen to the rain
And that lawman is coming round
And he’s trying to take me down
There ain’t no way he can find me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Ain’t no way he can find me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Ain’t no way he can find me tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Still too Hot - It Takes A Lot
Well I awoke from a dream a fan fell to the floor
I had the whiskey sweats from the night before
I heard a train and remembered putting pennies on a track
To make a necklace for you in case that you come back
Well it’s just too hot to think about you today
It’s just too hot to think about you today
Still too hot to think about you tonight
Well it’s still too hot to think about you tonight
I can’t seem to cry I’ve watched too much John Wayne
Sometimes I think I should step in front of that train
Hell I’m sweating like a gravedigger
I’ve been shoveling all day
You might return baby, I’ve got to stay
It’s just too hot to think about you today
Well it’s just too hot to think about you today
Still too hot to think about you tonight
Still too hot to think about you tonight
Shadows and dreams are the color of smoke in the rainbows
And a chain of failure and fear just won’t let me go
Like a moth on the lampshade with burned wings I still want the light
And it’s still too hot to think about you tonight
It’s just too hot to think about you today
Well it’s just too hot to think about you today
Still too hot to think about you tonight
Still too hot to think about you tonight
Just too hot to think about you today
It’s just too hot to think about you today
Still too hot to think about you tonight
Thunder lightening baby
Somehow I might
Just too hot to think about you today
It’s just too hot to think about you today
Still too hot to think about you tonight
