TROUBLE - S. Achord/T. Downing HOUSE BUILT ON LOVE - S. Achord/T. Downing
I got trouble just trying to be a man
I got trouble filled up in both hands
I got trouble got a load on my mind
I sure need some sun to shine
The older I get
The worse I feel
The more money I make
The smaller my meals
I’ve cut the fat and tightened my belt
I  just can’t win with these cards that I’m dealt

I got trouble just trying to be a man
I got trouble filled up in both hands
I got trouble got a load on my mind
I sure need some sun to shine
I’m a hard driving man
lost in cyber space
I run as fast as I can
but I’m losing the race
I’ve done all I can do my time is all spent
how can I downsize my life again

I got trouble just trying to be a man
I got trouble filled up in both hands
I got trouble got a load on my mind
I sure need some sun to shine
I’m waiting for something, I’m hoping for something
This boy is in need of lovin, I sure need some sun to shine

I got trouble just trying to be a man
I got trouble filled up in both hands
I got trouble got a load on my mind
I sure need some sun to shine

It’s the end of the day and it’s time to go
I get on the freeway with my Juliet on my mind
I could go downtown, I could hang with my friends, play all those old games I never could win
but I will pull the drive turn off the key
the door will come open and she’ll smile at me

I get my strength from a house built on love
I get my strength from a home that holds me up
I get my strength from a house built on love

There’s a light where she sleeps
an angle glow
I cover her shoulder
and I smile a happy tear
cause I know that I am one lucky man
who built on a rock in a sea of the sand
A firm foundation for me to stand on
and hold with my hands the ones that I love

I get my strength from a house built on love
I get my strength from a home that holds me up
I get my strength from a house built on love

A firm foundation for me to stand on
and hold with my hands the ones that I love
I get my strength from a house built on love
I get my strength from a home that holds me up
I get my strength

When I walk through these halls
and hear tiny voices sing through the walls
I get my strength from a house built on love
I get my strength from a house built on love

MAW MAW PAW PAW - S. Achord PIROGUE - S. Williford/S. Achord
Love my Maw Maw, Love my Paw Paw
I love Gaston he is my dog
when I am gone my heart stays home
at home with Maw Maw and Paw P aw and Gaston
My Paw Paw he say to roam
go and see what you gonna see
My Maw Maw she say grandson
Gaston stay here while your gone

Love my Maw Maw, Love my Paw Paw
I love Gaston he is my dog

When I am gone my heart stays home
at home with Maw Maw and Paw Paw and Gaston
Swing from the trees fall in the creek
swim with my friends and all my kin
When I go home wet to the bone
I’ll sit on the porch with Maw Maw and Paw Paw

Love my Maw Maw, Love my Paw Paw
I love Gaston he is my dog
when I am gone my heart stays home
at home with Maw Maw and Paw Paw and Gaston

I'm gonna find my pirogue
find my pirogue
find my pirogue
I hid it in the evergreens

Gonna find my pirogue
put a hole in the bottle
go out on the bayou
fish among the cypress knees

Shrimps in the spillway
oysters in the reef
fish is in the bucket
more than I can eat

If I find my pirogue
put a hole in the bottle
go out on the bayou
and fish among the cypress knees

PLACE WE FELL IN LOVE - D. Brunnetti/K. Waites/S. Achord BEST THING - S. Achord/T. Downing
Me and my wife, we got a good life
We got a piece of that American dream
Manicured lawn a cement pond and a country club routine
But I’m tired of wine, I want a beer
I want to shoot out the chandelier
how in the hell did we get here
this ain’t what it’s all about
I want fireflies with a neon glow
I want to dance to the A.M. radio
I want to kiss and hug on the old front porch
of the place we fell in love
It’s a shack on the edge of the old hometown
The roof might leak when the rain comes down
The floor might creak when we walk around
but it’s the place we fell in love

I’m still darlin, and she’s still dear
but it ain’t the same since we left there
Magnolia trees, a romantic breeze,
and her spicy Cajun cuisine
I’ll trade a foreign car for a truck with wheels
golf clubs for rod and reels
I want to feel like we used to feel
at the place we fell in love

I want fireflies with a neon glow
I want to dance to the A.M. radio
I want to kiss and hug on the old front porch
of the place we fell in love
It’s a shack on the edge of the old hometown
The roof might leak when the rain comes down
The floor might creak when we walk around
but it’s the place we fell in love

I want to do all the things that we love to do
like sip on a milk shake made for two
drive to the lake where we used to park
and go skinny-dipping in the dark
Aaaaayyyeeeee

You change the clothes you wear
You want to look just right
For that giddy little giggly 
girl cracklin like a fire inside

When she holds you tight
No more lonely nights
You get a smellin taste it feeling
that something’s bout to change your life

The best thing about love
It stays with you each and every day
you feel it when it’s miles away
like a tickle in your funny bone
The best thing about love
You get to share it with someone you like
You get to build a long and happy life
and that's the best thing about love

Single girls and guys
the signs you will recognize
weak and shaky knees
and a tummy full of butterflies
So keep that spark in your eyes
and you’ll wear an eternal smile
that gets bigger and bigger and bigger
as the years go by

The best thing about love
It stays with you each and every day
you feel it when it’s miles away
like a tickle in your funny bone
The best thing about love
Yuu get to share it with someone you like
You get to build a long and happy life
and that's the best thing about love

The best thing about love
It stays with you each and every day
you feel it when it’s miles away
like a tickle in your funny bone
The best thing about love
You get to share it with someone you like
You get to build a long and happy life
and that's the best thing about love

WIGGIN' - S. Achord/S. Williford/M. Schaferkotter/J. Stassi STAR SPANGLED LADY - S. Williford/J. Hunter
Man, I'm wiggin' from my head down to my toes,
I'm wiggin with folks I don't even know
yes I'm wiggin' I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Well, I'm wiggin' I'm wiggin, I'm wiggin'
'bout to lose my mind

I was walking my dog just the other day,
they said, "zip up your pants
boy," and they took me away
'cause I was wiggin, about to lose my mind
I was wiggin' I was wiggin' I was wiggin'
'bout to lose my mind

I don't need no starch in my coats today,
all my jackets are naturally straight
'cause I'm wiggin' I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Well, I'm wiggin' I'm wiggin, I'm wiggin'
'bout to lose my mind

I was blowing my harmonica just the other day,
when I found myself in jail
with Roguie Ray
I said Roguie, I was just trying to show her how to play,
I said blow it,
suck it, either way
I was wiggin' 'bout to lose my mind
Well, I'm wiggin' I'm wiggin, I'm wiggin'
'bout to lose my mind

I was wiggin'
when hauled me in
strapped me to a bed
then the doctor came in
he put his hand on my chest
said "hey man, just relax"
I'm feeling much better now

 

BACK TO TOP

Come on my dear; you know I can't bear to leave ya here
Do me one favor this time; and come on walk outside

He was our only child, like his dad he grew up wild
Military man moving from place to place; give him his space

'Cause our Billy he ain't gonna call
It's been twenty years this fall
you know war is hell; I hurt I ache to get you well

You were my Star-Spangled Lady
Black eyed beauty smiles proud to see
Gave your men to your country maybe
Strength for free - Bill and me

We used to talk and laugh (my memories of our other half)
Uniform ends our Viet Nam war
with steel-eyed knock at the door

I'm back from the store; out of smokes gotcha some more
It's been a long lonely life; still I'm proud you're my wife

But our Billy, he ain't gonna call
It's been twenty-five years this fall
you know war is hell
I hurt I ache to get you well

'Cause you were my Star-Spangled Lady
Dark-eyed beauty shines bright to see
Gave your men to your country maybe
Strength for free; Bill and me

You sit and stare out the window;
conversations you don't start
Curls of smoke round your head,
years of tears in your heart

But our Billy, he ain't gonna call
It's been thirty years this fall
you know war is hell
I hurt I ache to get you well
DE CON - J. Hunter/S. Williford JUST LIKE HER DOG - S. Williford/J. Hunter
I had a fine fine house I was comfortable on the top floor
Lived in a fine fine house you know I liked livin' on the top floor
Till the neighbors moved downstairs, they put a black flag on the door

They fired a bunch of cans of D-Con, blowin' up their room
Fired a bunch of cans of D-Con, blowin' up their room
hey, but when the bomb went off, I didn't even hear a boom

I been D-Con poisoned (D-Con poisoned)
I been D-Con poisoned (D-Con poisoned)
I been D-Con poisoned, ain't nothin' I can do
I been D-Con poisoned, help me out before I'm through

I got the burnin' in my eyes, I got the burnin' in my throat
somebody help me out now, I'm about to choke
aww, D-Con Poison!!!

I got the twitchin' in my leg, I got the twitchin in my lip
now I'm crawlin' 'round the floor I have a tremblin' fit
aww, D-Con Poisoned (D-Con Poisoned)
I been D-Con Poisoned (D-Con Poisoned)
I been D-Con poisoned, ain't a damn thing I can do

Spoken verse:
aw, this stuff is bad, run me outta my house
can't breath, can't sleep, might be raid,
might be black flag might be -
Bengal Roach Spray! might be an explosion over at the chemical plant, I don't know

Do not be alarmed
the gray chunks of asbestos debris in your yard are harmless
the cleaning crue safety suits are merely precautionary
DO NOT BE ALARMED

but I know one thing...

I been D-Con poisoned (D-Con poisoned)
I been D-Con poisoned (D-Con poisoned)
I been D-Con poisoned, ain't a damn thing I can do
I been D-Con poisoned, call a lawyer and I'll sue
You know I gotta lady, I come every time she call
always want to love her even when she do me wrong
all her girlfriends tell her to keep that man is a sin
he's not your kind of person, he can hardly count to ten

I like my baby to run her fingers thru my hair
I'm happy, excited just to be knowing she cares
you say I'm like her dog always by her side
"well I love him 'cause he's just like my dog y'all
he comes every time that I call y'all
well I love him cause he's just like my dog
and he's mine
and he's fine"

I'll fetch your slippers baby; come over by your side
and sit right here beside you like you're the greatest girl alive
give me food and loving, you know it keeps me home
my doggie style it gets you, and I sure can dig a bone

I like my baby to run her fingers thru my hair
I'm happy, excited just to be knowing she cares
you say I'm like her dog always by her side
"well I love him 'cause he's just like my dog y'all
he comes every time that I call y'all
well I love him cause he's just like my dog
and he's mine
and he's fine"

(SPOKEN)
"now sit baby, roll over
 get off my leg, oh no not on the carpet!
don't scratch yourself there
 you drinking outta the toilet again?
where you goin' now?
 not on the neighbors' lawn!
come back in this house!

I'll give you a milk bone
