Beer:30 04:08
The working day is through and everything’s all done. I did my part and now it’s time for fun. I’m gonna wash my hands ‘cause working gets them dirty And I’m gonna crack a smile ‘cause now it’s beer:30 Beer:30 my favorite time of day I’ve been watching the clock and the time keeps ticking away. I’m taking care of business I’m a hard working man you see, Until beer:30 comes to take care of me. Grab one crack it open turn it upside down. When I have a cold beer things start to turn around. We got ‘em on ice and we’re gonna have a ball. If you come and join in we’ll sit and drink ‘em all. Waking up early with the hair of the dog. Can’t lay around sleeping like a bump on a log. Even though it’s early gonna do it again The weekend’s here gonna turn it up to 10. If it comes from a bottle or a tap or a can I’m gonna throw it back as fast as I can.

Day By Day 04:56
Running down the highway makin’ time. Low on gas, I ain’t got one thin dime, But I know I’ll make it. It’s alright. There’s nothing but smooth highways in sight. On my own now, Gonna have to make it my own way, All alone now, Gonna have to take it day by day, take it day by day. Wind in my face filling up my ears Brings a chill and blows out all my tears. The open highway is my only friend. I’m gonna take on down south to the end. Thinking back I can’t get her off my mind. She should’ve known I’m not the staying kind. It was time to head out on my own I can’t help it, I’ve got that traveling bone.

I Found You 03:22
Went into town just to see what I could see. I didn’t mind trying to find what I could find. Could not believe what I found for the life of me. I had a fine ole time that just blew my mind. Gettin down on the town when I heard that sound That’s the time when I found you. I got the vibe now I’m trying to stay in time. I’m in the groove but I’m trying to keep my cool. I’m trying to sing and I’ve got to keep that rhyme. I’m in the zone and I’m trying to hold my own. Gettin down on the town when I heard that sound That’s the time when I found you. I can tell cause my momma didn’t raise no fool, That you can see something’s lighting up in me. I found the secret to the vibe down deep inside. I found a mojo for my music, going to use it on you. Gettin down on the town when I heard that sound. That’s the time that I found you.

Iron Will 03:32
I don’t care what you think of me. I don’t care what you think of me. I’m gonna do what I do, just get out of my way. Say what you want, you’d be out of line, Say what you will, it’s just a waste of time There is nothing you can do to change my mind. (Chorus) I’ve got a tried and true and tested Iron Will. I’ve got a fire that can’t be bested, an Iron Will. Now you’re caught between a rock and a hard place. I will not stop, I will not change, I won’t give in to you. Try if you want, it’s just not gonna fly, Stomp your feet, throw back your head and cry. I’m stubborn as a mule. No point in asking why. (Repeat Chorus)

Thought of a million ways to tell you what you don’t want to hear. I’ve tried so many ways to show you what you don’t want to see. (Chorus) It’s about time to leave all this behind. It’s about time to head out on the road. It’s about time to get you off my mind. It’s about time I’ve got a million dreams I’m dreaming that you never know. I’ve got so many places for you that you’ll never go. I’ve got to face the fact that what we had is gone. I’ve got to face the fact it’s time to move on. Repeat chorus

Down on the corner, downtown in the street He sends his girl out, take your money nice and neat. Out on 2nd street, they know he’s the man. He’s got your number, what you want is in his hand. Dont miss your chance to get it while you can From the Minky Stinky Man If you play the game he just might call you out. Everybody’s waiting to see how it all turns out. Ain’t no use to hide, he can see it in your eyes. Once he’s done dealing we all fire up and ride. Dont miss your chance to get it while you can From the Minky Stinky Man Dont miss your chance to get it while you can.

On the Edge 04:12
I’m on the edge, I’m looking down, and I can fly. It’s in my head, it’s going down, and I could die. It’s so far down it takes my breath, Leaning out, I can see it all. Standing on the edge of life or death, I’m gonna fly, or I’ll take a fall. I’ve got a feeling deep inside I can’t describe. I feel the power in my soul and I feel alive. One step off or one step back, I just don’t know, But this feeling pulls on me and I wanna go. It’s so far down it takes my breath, Leaning out, I can see it all. Standing on the edge of life or death, I’m gonna fly, I’m gonna fly, I’m gonna fly I’m on the edge, I’m looking down, and I can fly. It’s in my head, it’s going down, and I could die.

I’m alone again, she’s with a sick friend. I’m alone again, she’s with a sick friend. That must be what it is, cause I know She would not do that to me. It’s a girls night out, she won’t be here tonight. It’s a girls night out, she won’t be here tonight. That Must be What it is, cause I know, She would not do that to me. (Chorus) These things happen all the time, to keep my baby gone. There’s always a good reason, why my baby’s gone. But she ain’t with another man, cause I know She would not do that to me I’m alone again tonight, she broke down on the road. I’m alone again tonight, she broke down on the road. That Must be What it is, cause I know, She would not do that to me. Something just came up, she won’t be here again. Something just came up, she won’t be here again. That Must be What it is, cause I know, She would not do that to me. Repeat chorus

Now I Know 06:30
Headed home, it’s almost dawn, Drops of dew slide up my hood. Got my windshield wipers and headlights on, Light up the fog and I see you. (Chorus) Your always with me everywhere I go, Just like you told me, Now I Know. Purple traces turn to orange fleece. Yellow sunbeams burn off the clouds. The sun is rising in the east, Your message comes to me clear and loud. (Repeat chorus) Almost home, in the morning light, Birds are singing in the pines. A high blue sky, pushes back the night And in the echoes I hear you. (Repeat Chorus)
