Beautiful Thing
(D. Kitchen – H. Blevins)
Hey now this is new
Since I met her, I believe that all
Good things come true
She sent my bad luck around the bend She let the sunshine in
Ain’t that a beautiful thing to do
Hey now this is real
I don’t hide it, I can tell that girl Everything that I feel
Used to be so wrapped up in blue But she changed my point of view Ain’t that a beautiful thing to do
I never thought I’d lose
The emptiness that filled my heart But recently I’ve seen
A rush of love make a fresh start
Everywhere I go
I'm feeling special, like I’m stepping out And I let it show
And I know that she feels it too
‘Cause we’re going to rendezvous
Ain’t that a beautiful thing to do

Never Stay at Home

You never stay here at home that’s where you should be
Ooh ooh it’s a ruining me
Our little baby’s grown up too fast
Yeah now we’re a thing of the past
I don’t care for the crowd you’re running with
Ooh oh they’re on a dangerous trip
I wanna be there when you stumble and break your fall Yeah you’re not listening I know
And every word I say is like a cliché
And I hate it
But I won’t sit silent and dumb
And lose you to a world gone wrong
It’s true that me and your momma used to rock every night
Sometimes end up in a knock down fight
We’d rather that you didn’t make the same mistakes
And if you leave there’s gonna be two hearts a-breakin’
You feel like you gotta live a double life
Yeah but that’s a double edged knife
Even mister tough’s got to spill his guts
Yeah your secret’s safe with us
And every word I say is like a cliché
And I hate it
But I won’t sit silent and dumb
And lose you to a world gone wrong
You never stay here at home

Break Your Momma's Heart

You brought me home to meet your Mom she said that I'd be gone by summer's end
Now with Christmas come and gone
she worries about the time we spend
She doesn’t want to see you leaving that’s a fact
She wants you still at home but I can’t help that
I don't wanna but we're gonna
Have to break your momma's heart
Won’t you go on home and tell her
there’s nothing that can change your mind
No matter how she interferes
there ain’t no stopping love this fine
She doesn’t want to see you leaving that’s a fact
She wants you still at home but I can’t help that
I don't wanna but we're gonna
Have to break your momma's heart
We’ll turn her around
When I turn on all my charm
Just wait till she holds
that first grandbaby in her arms
I know you love your mother
and I hate to have to come between but understand that I'm your man and I'm going to see you be my queen
It's not as if she didn't do the same you know
when your Daddy came for her there were tears and woe
I don't wanna but we're gonna
Have to break your momma's heart
She doesn’t want to see you leaving now that’s a fact
She wants you still at home but I can’t help that
I don't wanna but we're gonna
have to break your momma's heart

Go Back Out
(D. Kitchen)
You had to go back out and get in trouble again
You had to go back out and see how much I can stand
You come back home singing peace and lovey dovey
You come back high like you're damn sure from above me
You had to go back out and see the world that you left
You had some nagging doubts about the thing that we have
You say you never meant to hurt me, that I could rest assured
Nothing could come between us but that’s sick, baby, obscene and absurd
You had to go back out and get in trouble again
Don’t get smart
Don’t play dumb
Don’t you start, don’t you start with me
They said to come down here and get what’s left of this girl
They said to come down quick she’s doing the tilt-a-whirl
You never felt much like dancing back when we did the town
But you were in the arms of some charm boy when they cuffed and took you down
You had to go back out and get in trouble again
Don’t get smart
Don’t play dumb
Don’t you start, don’t you start with me

If Love Is Blind
(D. Kitchen)
If love is blind I hope I never see you again
I may die trying but I want to feel like way back when
You won’t let yourself miss me ‘cause you’re way too proud
One day you’re gonna miss the way I play too loud
If love is blind I hope I never see you again
If love is blind I hope I never see you again
I’ve got a one track mind, trying to get my second wind
We’re drifting further and further apart
I know you won’t be happy without my broken heart
If love is blind I hope I never see you again
Two wrongs just make a wrong
I ain’t been right since you’ve been gone
I might get crazy might get a gun
Don’t want your money I just want your fun
If love is blind I hope I never see you again
If love is blind I hope I never see you again
If you’re so inclined we could turn out all the lights and pretend
You can call me Jimmy you can call me Bill
And I’ll make believe it gives me thrill
If love is blind I hope I never see you again
