Organ donor (give your heart to Jesus)

Listen here:

Each day you get out of bed You get in a car accident so just Give your heart to Jesus Every day that you wake up You smash into a truck, so baby just Give your heart to Jesus

Baby don’t be loner get yourself onto that list Baby don’t be a loner you can be an organ donor and just give your heart to Jesus

It don’t matter if you drive slow or fast You’re getting into a crash, so baby just Give your heart to Jesus

Baby don’t be loner get yourself onto that list Baby don’t be a loner you can be an organ donor and just give your heart to Jesus

Come on people now Let’s all sign up together Rain or shine, snow or sleet We’re driving though some pretty nasty weather

Let’s go get the Girls

We drove down from Houston to Galveston one night and drank tallboys with our feet in the Gulf. We probably tried to pick up some girls...this one is for Shafer Hall.

Listen: studio version, solo acoustic version , live version

Let’s go get the girls, boys Let’s go get the girls You know the beach is about to close, boys So let’s go get the girls You know they told us they needed a ride back to Houston

Well the dark clouds are forming and the white caps are rolling in Let’s go get the girls The life guard’s stereo has dead batteries Let’s go get the girls Because no one wants to be caught in the rain

Let’s go get the girls, boys Let’s go get the girls You know the beach is about to close, boys So let’s go get the girls They told us they needed a ride back to Houston

Well the last time we saw them they were on the sand They were getting some food from the refreshment stand They got some French fries with ketchup it was all over their fingers They were licking it off and tasting all the sand I was only in there for a real quick dip They couldn’t have given us the slip

Let’s go get the girls, boys Let’s go get the girls You know the beach is about to close, boys So let’s go get the girls They told us they needed a ride back to Houston

Knee deep in the Gulf of Mexico say yeah Knee deep in the Gulf of Mexico say hell yeah

Well how they getting home they’re so young It’s a long drive from Galveston

Well how they getting home they’re so young It’s a long drive from Galveston

Let’s go get the girls, boys Let’s go get the girls You know the beach is about to close, boys So let’s go get the girls

They told us they needed a ride back to Houston

No Real Pleasure

A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor: "Shut up, Bobby Lee" The Misfit said. "It's no real pleasure in life."

Listen here:

The lord made a pretty man when he made me The lord made a pretty man when he made me He gave me eyes like the silver clouds And a mug to make any mother proud And any father say son you’re our greatest treasure But I gotta tell you daddy that there ain’t no real pleasure

The lord made a pretty man oh yes he did The lord made a pretty man when he made this kid He gave me soul like the ocean deep And a voice to make any woman weep And a kiss by which all others must be measured But I gotta tell you baby that there ain’t no real pleasure

I’m crawling out on my hands and knees I’m crawling out baby can you help me please

He gave me soul like the ocean deep And a voice to make any woman weep And a kiss by which all others must be measured But I gotta tell you baby that there ain’t no real pleasure
