Gus’ Song
V1
One fine night the moon was shining bright
You walked into the woods all alone
I didn’t know it was the last time I’d see you go
I didn’t even think to say goodbye
CHORUS
Maybe you got lifted by an eagle
Maybe a coyote won the chase
They say anything can happen but I bet you’re somewhere laughing
Way down south picking out a fiddle tune
Hey diddle diddle (hey diddle diddle)
My cat ran away with my fiddle
Hey diddle diddle (hey diddle diddle)
By the light of the moon
X2
V2
The next fine morning your sister she gave the warning
Swears she never even heard a thing
And oh how I longed for you even wrote this silly little song for you
Now I can’t stop laughing in the rain
CHORUS
Laughing in the rain

Right Place Right Time

You lost your job and your old dog died
For three long weeks you set and cried
Feeling sorry for yourself and cussing your boss
You'll never get back that time you lost
Your woman left you late last spring
And with her she took most everything
Including your will to get up and go
Brother let me tell you something you ought to know
CHORUS
You might've been to the bottom but now you're climbing
After all this life is all about timing
Now you're always in the right place at the right time
You know that everything will turn out fine
Things will be better than you've ever known
Just know that you don't have to do it alone
That's what friends are for you've gotta keep 'em around
Now let's head to the party
V2
Life can throw storm clouds your way
But when the rain comes hyou'll have a sunny day
The rain brings flowers and you know you've got friends
To help you get on your feet again
This life of yours ain't about to end
CHORUS

Undertow
03:00
|
|||
|
Long black veil white little lies so hard to see
Slit my throat sink our boat straight to the sea
you shouldn't have messed with me
CHORUS
It's a long ride home
When you've got the blues and no place to go
Ah so it goes, living in the undertow
Counting sheep I'm losing sleep oh where do you go
Say you're mine all the time I should have known
these hearts are bound to roam.
CHORUS

Waltz About Whiskey

|
Once the gettin' was good
But now the gettin's got gone
So I'm going downtown
Just to tie one on
Im oak aged and sour
I'm going down by the hour
And I'm as blue, as the night is long
So wont someone dance with me
To a waltz about whiskey
And turn the sad songs to lullabies
I don't need much of nothing
Except for all your loving
And a waltz about whiskey on ice
Well one quarter should do
Number A32
A little truth from the jukebox
Should make it alright
And as the booze sets in
I'm getting high again
To a waltz about whiskey on ice
So wont someone dance with me
To a waltz about whiskey
And turn the sad songs to lulabys
I don't need much of nothing
Except for all your loving
And a waltz about whiskey on ice
Well I remember the night
She sat down beside me
She cried love was a ring that wont end
Well I was handed a lie
And now the only thing
I know of a ring
Is a circle my glass leaves behind
So wont someone dance with me
To a waltz about whiskey
And turn the sad songs to lulabys
I don't need much of nothing
Except for all your loving
And a waltz about whiskey on ice
