YOU ARE
v1.
You're the shoulders I used to climb on
when I wanted a free ride
The other player on the checkerboard
when it was raining outside
You were the one chasing me
while I was running down the beach
And the only one to lend a hand
when I was still too short to reach
CHORUS:
You're the brown in my eyes
You're the auburn in my hair
The reason I am who I am
And I know you're always there
Even when the road is long and rough
I know you'll pull me through
You are my hero Dad
and I'll always love you
v2
You're the one who picked me up
every time I'd fall
The ride for my friends and me
down to that old Jackson mall
You're the funny face that makes me laugh
When I'm feeling low and blue
Always the tender voice that tells me
I can do anything I wanna do
REPEAT CHORUS:
v3
Now here I stand in my wedding gown
You're handsome in your black and white
Your little girl has grown up now
I became his wife tonight
So hold my hand and dance with me
until it's time to go
Just like we used to way back then
with your boots under my toes
REPEAT CHORUS:

HELP ME THROUGH TODAY
v1Lord I've seen some hard times
and felt you by my side
I've patched broken wings of love
and felt a raging tide
I have made some big mistakes
life's a battle I haven't won
Just when it starts to look good
my whole world crashes
and it's all undone
CHORUS:
Please help me through today
cause I may fall again
Love me through tomorrow
cause I may need a friend
Show me how to get this right
before I hurt the ones I love
Bend your hand from heaven now
and help from above
v2
I'm like a butterfly now
surrendering to the wind
Seems to ring so true in my mind
that children pay for parents' sins
I pray for sleep to come so quick
and take me far away
Cause I'm no good to anyone here
and I can't live this way
REPEAT CHORUS:
v3
I've turned down a winding road
and they won't understand
Spare from this alcohol
take the pills from my hand
I know I'll need you more tonight
than I'm able to say
So just stay close and love me
It can't all end this way
REPEAT CHORUS:

PAINT THIS TOWN
v1You loaded up your suitcase
and threw it in that pickup truck
That means I'm short on love now
but gettin' richer on luck
Now what are you waitin' on
you're wasting my time
If you'd done your research baby
you'd know I'm not the cryin' kind
CHORUS:
Tonight I'm gonna paint this town
with my own shade of red
and cheap bottle of wine
So if you see me don't slow me down
cause I'm low on cash
and even shorter on time
I'm gonna party hard like Elvis
behind those Memphis gates
Gonna belt it out like Wynonna
when she sang Amazing Grace
I'll call up Kat Von D
and get big ole' cross tattoo
Cause you're leaving is a blessing
one less thing for me to do
v2
Now what's that baby
you don't like what you hear
Well I don't really give a damn
like Rhett Butler said to his dear
So here's the one in the middle
yeah I learned that from Sarah Jones
And like that yellow line on the road
your memory's ten miles gone
Repeat Chorus:
v3
Baby your like a wreckin ball
just pullin' back to swing
You've got a mouth like a tornado
just destroying everything
Now you can take the things I bought you
I'll be keeping my house and car
So last words to you baby
are adios and au revoir
Repeat Chorus
