- Dusty Drake - "Smaller Pieces"
(Dusty Drake, Ron Harbin and Kerry Kurt Phillips)
I knew when you left me that you'd be back someday.
An' I know there's a chance you'll leave again but that's one I've gotta take.
Girl, after all, what have I got to lose?
The worst that you can do is break my heart into....
Smaller pieces, bigger teardrops,
Colder lonely; hell, why not?
What's another goodbye?
Might as well give it one more try.
The worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into smaller pieces.
Darlin', come on in. What are you waitin' for?
You might hurt me again but you can't hurt me anymore.
So tell me that you love me, and I'll tell myself it's true.
The worst that you can do is break my heart into....
Smaller pieces, bigger teardrops,
Colder lonely; hell, why not?
What's another goodbye?
Might as well give it one more try.
The worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into smaller pieces.
Hell, why not?
What's another goodbye?
Might as well give it one more try.
The worst that you can do,
Is break my heart into smaller pieces.
I knew when you left me that you'd be back someday.
- Dusty Drake - "One Last Time"
(Jason Matthews and Kerry Kurt Phillips)
When she picked up the telephone,
His voice came on the line.
She said: "This can't be happening,"
An' tears fell from her eyes.
She said: "What am I supposed to do?
"I can't handle losin' you."
He said: "I just had to call to say goodbye,
"One last time."
He said: "There are some things in this life,
"That are out of our control.
"Like who we fall in love with,
"And when it's time to go."
An' she said: "What about the plans we had?"
He said: "This connection's gettin' bad."
"Now c'mon baby, let me hear you smile,
"One last time."
She started to apologize,
For all the things that she'd done wrong.
She said: "I would have loved you better.
"If only I'd known."
He said: "You were the perfect wife:
"Promise me you'll go on with your life."
She said: "The boys won't understand."
He said: "Tell 'em Daddy loves 'em and, be strong, whoa."
He said: "Honey, I've gotta go."
She said: "Don't you dare hang up.
"There's so many things I need to say.
"I love you so much."
I was almost like she felt him leave.
She cried out: "Can you still hear me?"
She fell down on the kitchen floor,
When the signal died,
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive.
One last......
- Dusty Drake - "I Am The Working Man"
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower,
Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores.
After school. weekends an' holidays.
Yeah, ever since then, all I've known,
Is my nose on fire from the grindstone,
A lifetime built on an hourly wage.
Muscled arms an' calloused hands:
I am the workin' man.
The sun comes up, the sun goes down,
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:
No matter what, it still goes on.
Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',
Somebody's gotta fix it:
I am the workin' man,
Yes, I am.
Now I've laid asphalt an' I've laid brick:
I've hung sheet, rock and shoveled sh**,
Eat my lunch down at the Kwickie-Mart.
Oh, I fill the potholes on easy-street,
So show some respect when you look at me.
I'm just out here tryin' to do my part.
An' I sleep good when the day comes to an end,
'Cause I am the workin' man.
The sun comes up, the sun goes down,
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:
No matter what, it still goes on.
Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',
Somebody's gotta fix it:
I am the workin' man.
I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench,
Build a tower, dig a ditch,
Drive a truck that shakes the earth,
Somebody's gotta do the dirty work.
The sun comes up, the sun goes down,
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:
No matter what, it still goes on.
Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',
Somebody's gotta fix it:
I am...
I am the workin' man.
Yes I am,
Oh. the workin' man.
