Old Folks Are Worth a Fortune

OLD FOLKS ARE WORTH A FORTUNE

Old folks are worth A fortune
With silver in their hair, gold in
Their teeth, stones in their kidneys,
Lead in their feet and gas in their stomachs

I have become more social the passing
Of the years. I’m seeing five gentlemen every day
As soon as I wake, will forever help me
Get out of bed, Then I go to the John.

Then Charley Horse come along and when he leave
Arthur Rites shows  up and stays the day,
 He doesn’t stay in one place he likes to take me.
From joint to joint, after A busy day I’m glad to go to bed
With Ben Gay

My Minister said I needed to think of the hereafter
I told him I do all the time if I’m in the basement-
 upstairs or in the kitchen- I ask myself “Now, What
am I here after

Shiners

SHINERS

SHINERS, TAKES THE PAIN
GIVING LOVE AND LITTLE GAIN
THEY TAKE CARE OF THE HOLE
THAT’S IN MY HEART
GIVING MY CHILD HOPE AND A NEW START

SO I GIVE MY PART FOR OTHERS
AS MY CHILD SETS IN A CHAIR
MAKING HIS WAY ON WHEELS
LIFE I KNOW IS NOT FAIR
BUT SHINERS IS HERE
THEY REALLY CARE

I SEE IT IN MY CHILD EYE’S
IN THE WATER AS HE PLAYS
GIVING THAT SMILE AWAY
 FOR MORE THAN ONE DAY
WE CAN FEEL
THAT SHINERS IS FOR REAL
SO GIVE JUST A LITTLE BIT HERE
SO MY CHILD CAN MAKE IT THERE

IN A BIG HOSPITAL OF LOVE
AS I TAKE THE ELEVATOR UP ABOVE
TO THE FLOOR
TO SEE MY CHILD ONCE MORE
GIVE HIS SMILE AWAY
FOR MORE THAN ONE DAY 

SHRINERS, SHRINERS
THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF MINE
AND OTHERS THAT SHINE

Tic Tac Toe

TIC TAC TOE

I DON’T PLAY TIC TAC TOE ANYMORE
I’M JUST INTO THE EXE’S YOU SCORE
I ONCE WAS A SQUARE
FULL OF CIRCLES IN MY HAIR
BUT NOW I COMPARE 
AND DRAW A LINE
THROUGH EVERY EXE‘S OF MINE
SO ARE YOU READY TO CROSS THE LINE

I’M WORTH THE RIGHT PRICE
SOON THERE BE RICE
THREE FOR THREE CROSS WITH ME
I’M STILL CIRCLING WITH MY HAIR
BUT I’M NOT GOING TO EXE’S YOU OUT
EVEN AFTER YOU CROSS THAT LINE 
AND LEAVE ME BEHIND

LET’S TAKE THE TIME
NOT PLAY THAT GAME SHINE
I’M HOPING YOU’RE THE LAST EXE’S OF MINE
WITH MORE CIRCLES IN MY HAIR
SO ARE YOU READY TO CROSS THAT LINE

I DON’T PLAY TIC TAC TOE ANYMORE
I’M JUST INTO THE EXE’S, YOU SCORE
I ONCE WAS A SQUARE
FULL OF CIRCLE IN MY HAIR
BUT NOW I COMPARE
THROUGH EVERY EXE’S OF MINE
SO ARTE YOU READY TO CROSS THE LINE

I Have a Card That Says Get Out of Jail Free

I HAVE A CARD THAT SAYS
GET OUT OF JAIL FREE

Hey, I got a 
House but you still
Go to hotels
Now I am on community treasure chest
And you are way over there
Paying again

We seem to go
Corner to corner
But you been around
And around
When will you land on me

Hey, I got paid
This must be my day
I try to save my money
While you’re out spending
Honey, I know it’s just a house
But to me it is a home

I have a card that says get out 
Of jail free
Now where are you 
I still have 200 bucks
And it adds up to a lot

And now I got my 
Train together
And you are off
The track and in jail

Saddle It Up With a Bounce

SADDLE IT UP WITH A BOUNCE

SADDLE IT UP WITH A BOUNCE
GIVE US THAT HOOP OF RESPONSIBILITY
SEE US MOVE EVERY OUNCE
IN TO THE NET OF SUCCESS

IN OUR OWN DIFFERENT WAY
THERE’S TIME FOR HORSE PLAY
LET’S RIDE BOUNCING THAT BALL
GROWING UP NICE AND TALL

SADDLE IT UP, SADDLE IT UP
WITH A BOUNCE
TWO DIFFERENT BROTHERS
AND A COWGIRL SISTER

REACHING UP HIGH
RIDING ON BY
GIVING EACH A PART OF THE SKY
YOU ARE THE REASON WHY

SADDLE IT UP WITH A BOUNCE
DON’T SET ON THE COUCH
MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF
TRY IT JUST BE YOURSELF

Farrah

FARRAH 

ONE OF THE THREE ANGEL’S
DID WELL WITH HER HAIR
SHE DIDN’T WRANGLE
FALLING SLOWLY THROUGH
WHAT ELSE COULD SHE DO

SHE ENDED UP FALLING HARD
WHILE LAYING ON AIR
CANCER BECAME HER FALL
LOOSING HER HAIR
SHE GAVE IT HER ALL

WITH HER SON AND O’NEIL 
BY HER SIDE
WE ALL ASK WHY
SHE HAD TO DIE
 SHE’LL ALWAYS BE AN ANGEL
IN OUR EYE’S

Pure As Sour Cream

PURE AS SOUR CREAM

PURE AS SOUR CREAM
MY LIFE IS JUST A DREAM
SO MANY THINGS
MY EYE’S FILL AND BEAM

TASTING THE DAISY
SAYING LOVE ME, LOVE ME NOT
I JUST WANT TO TIE THE KNOT
BUT HE’S TO LAZY
MAKING MORE THAN DIP FINE
I WANT HIS LIPS TO SIP MINE
WHY HE TRIES TO SPLIT
I FEEL THE END OF THE PIT
AS HE TOUCHES MY TIT

PURE AS SOUR CREAM
MY LIFE IS JUST A DREAM
SO I SET IN A BOWL
FEEL COLD AND LOW
STILL HE TAKES A BITE
YET NOT OF ME
JUST SOUR CREAM DIP SO LITE
AS I PULL ON HIS DAISY
SAYING  LOVE ME, LOVE ME NOT

She Dances On In

SHE DANCES ON IN 
NOT SURE OF WHAT’S IN STORE
THEY LOVE HER MORE
SHE DANCES ON IN
FLYING COLORS
HEARING YOUR VOICE
WITH LIPS SO MOIST
SHE’S NOW WITH HER WIFE
DOES IT MAKE IT RIGHT

LOVE IS WHERE YOU FIND IT
IN A PERSON DREAM YOU HAVE IT
GIRL OR BOY , MAN OR WOMAN
 TO WOMAN, MAN TO MAN
MOVE TO MOVE , WORD TO WORD
WE ARE WHO WE ARE
LOVE MAKES US STRONG
SO WE FEEL LIKE WE BELONG

SHE DANCES ON IN
WITH A LADY NOT A MAN
CAN MY MOM DO THE TABLE
AS WE DANCE I KNOW SHE’S ABLE
READY TO MEET US WITH A SOFT TOUCH
ELLEN DEGENERES
THE ELLEN SHOW

You'Re Naked Beneath Me

You’re naked beneath me

You’re naked beneath me
I could hear all the noises

I could feel your skin
So
Even your heart beat
But we are apart

So what I am trying
To say I want you
Here
I want you beneath
Me again
Are you here?

You’re so beautiful
With your hair back
I look into your
Eyes I know you
Don’t want to go
Your toes are rubbing me

You’re naked beneath
Me
Please let it be
I miss you
And love you
I miss your
And love you
Your toes are rubbing me
