andy griggs - how cool is that

She's the last girl
I thought I'd ever see here
There stands a preacher's daughter
Holdin' a beer
Tattoo of angel
On the small of her back
How cool is that?
She probably don't remember me
It's been a long, long time
About then she turned around
And kinda stared at me and smiled
She said, "I had the hots for you
In Sunday School class"
But tell me how cool is that?

How cool is a hot summer night
When the stars line up
And everything feels just right
How cool is knowing inside
That I'm the one she's looking at
With that look in her eyes.

About then I asked if
She was still seeing old what's-his-name
She said, "Has it really been that long
Ow, how things have changed"
She brushed her hair back and said,
"Lets not talk about the past"
How cool is that?

How cool is a hot summer night
When the stars line up
And everyting feels just right
How cool is knowing inside
That I'm the one she's looking at
With that look in her eyes.

How cool is knowing inside
That I'm the one she's looking at
With that look in her eyes.

She was the last girl
I thought I'd ever see here
There stands a preacher's daughter
Holding a beer.

andy griggs - sweetheart of beinja bayou

andy griggs - tonight i wanna be your man

Baby light a couple candles
Lock the bedroom door
Put on some sweet soul music
Throw a blanket on the floor
Surrender to my patient hands
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

It hit me just this morning
When I passed you in the hall
I swear I caught you looking
Like you don't know me at all
Let me show you who I am
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

I'll always be your cover when your cold
When the world lines up against you
I'm the safe place you can go
Now and then we need to find some time to be in love
Just be in love

Now the whole world's in bed sleeping
I think we're finally alone
If the telephone starts ringing
We'll pretend like we're not home
Cause any fool would understand
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

Let me show you who I am
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna your man

Just forget about that wedding band
All week I've been your husband
Tonight I wanna be your man

andy griggs - ain t livin long like this

I looked for trouble and found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman?s gun
I?d try to run but I don?t think I can
If I move I?m a dead man

Ain?t livin? long like this
I can?t live at all like this can I baby
He slipped the cuffs on behind my back
Then left me freezing on a steel rail rack
They got ?em all in the jailhouse don?t they baby
I ain?t livin? long like this
Can?t live at all like this can I baby

Grew up in Houston off a wayside drive
Son of a carhop in an all-night dive
He drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember is a drunk man?s breath
Ain?t livin? long like this
I can?t live at all like this can I baby

We know the story how the wheel goes ?round
Don?t let ?em take you to the man downtown
I can?t sleep at all in the jailhouse can I baby
Ain?t livin? long like this
I can?t live at all like this can I baby

I live for Angel she?s the roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don?t know how
I?m at the bottom of the jailhouse now
Ain?t livin? long like this
I can?t live at all like this can I baby

You know the story ?bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it just don?t get caught
They got ?em all in the jailhouse don?t they baby
Ain?t livin? long like this
I can?t live at all like this can I baby

Ain?t livin? long like this
I swear I can?t live at all like this can I baby
Oh baby
Take it home for me
Ain?t livin? long like this am I baby

andy griggs - if heaven

If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight
When the fireflies start their dancin on the lawn
And suppers on the stove and mammas laughin
And everybodys workin day is done

If heaven was a town it would be my town
On a summer day in 1985
And everything i wanted was out there waiting
And everyone i loved was still alive

Chorus:
Dont cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we must all say goodbye
And if thats what heavens made of
You know i ain't afraid to die

If heaven was a pie it would be cherry
Cool and sweet and heavy on your tongue
And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
And hered always be enough for everyone

If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one
That could take this weary travler round the bend
And if heavne was a tear it'd be my last one
And youd be in my arms again

Chorus:
Dont cry a tear for me now baby
There comes a time we must all say goodbye
And if that's what heaven's made of
You know i ain't afraid to die

andy griggs - the road to lasting love

Are you ready?

Been down this street so many times,
Could hit the gas and close my eyes.
And not touch a thing.

The doorways here are always dark,
Keep movin', it's not safe to park.
'Cause this ain't no lover's lane.

It's where infatuation goes,
You hit this long, strange stretch of road.
And you don't know where it leads.

But if we're goin' anywhere,
Only this'll take us there.
So, baby, hold your breath,
And wrap your arms around me, yeah.

Here we go now, a little closer,
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
On this road:
The road to lasting love.

Look into the rear view mirror,
Remember all that got us here.
We're gonna need it later.

Out the window, all around,
Dreams in pieces on the ground,
'Cause it won't be easy, baby.

You know if faith and hope and trust,
Ain't ridin' in these hearts with us,
This trip's gonna break on me.

Oh, I've never seen the other side,
But, girl, when you look in my eyes,
I've seen it out there,
I believe that we can make it, baby.

Here we go now, a little closer,
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
On this road:
The road to lasting love.

There's a light up ahead that we all wanna reach.
So we grab every chance that we can.
But we lose and get lost.
Just a few get across,
This broken promise land.

Here we go now, a little closer,
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
On this road:
This road to lasting love.

Here we go now, a little closer,
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
On this road:
This road to lasting love.

Road to lasting love.
Road to lasting love.

andy griggs - i never had a chance

Last thing I was lookin for
When I first saw you that night
Was someone with that something I couldnt walk away from
In the early mornin light
Yeah we stayed up all night just talkin
And I didnt miss that itch to leave
I ended up wrapped around your finger baby
But that was just fine with me

I never had a chance
I was swept away like sand
You had me in the palm of your hand
Baby my heart was on the run
I wasnt gonna fall in love
But here I am
I never had a chance

I bet you knew what you were doin
Cause baby you sure did do it well
You made me want you like Ive never ever ever wanted
Ever wanted anybody else
Yeah I admit I tried to fight it
And sometimes I fight it still
Im finding fast that I cant leave you
Cause lovin you is my hearts will

I never had a chance
I was swept away like sand
You had me in the palm of your hand
Baby my heart was on the run
I wasnt gonna fall in love
But here I am
I never had a chance

Ooo, I never had a chance
No I never had a chance

andy griggs - she s more

andy griggs - hillbilly band

North Louisiana on a saturday night
I was sittin in the glow of the dashboard lights
Ill never forget i was 6 years old
When i heard comin out of my daddys radio
Come out of my seat and said 'son of a gun'
Daddy said naw thats the opry son

Chorus:
I heard the crowd start screamin
And i started dreamin
Of one day runnin
With a hillbilly band

Bought a gitar, learned a few chords
found a few guys and a bveat up ford
Pretty girls would come from miles around
Like bees to honey to hear that sound
All we could afford was bread and mayonaise
Living for the moment when wed hit that stage

Chorus:
I heard the crowd start screamin
And i started dreamin
Of one day runnin
With a hillbilly band

I came to Nashville, they liked my songs
I got a bus-45 feet long
Bought a house to put a gold record on the wall
Funny thing is im hardly there at all
The money the cars, you can have that stuff
Just give me what I love

Chorus 2:
To hear the crowd start screamin
To the song that im singin
The one about runnin
With a hillbilly band

andy griggs - always

I've been up and down, left and right and wrong so many times
both sides of the winding road, straight down the center line
I crossed paths with the devil, with an angel on my side

always..............

The first time that i saw you, i knew you were the one
coz when i walked beside you, i was walkin' in the sun
and like a fool i ran, like a lonesome highway runs

always.............

I've had my live together now at least a thousand times
but it seems that satisfaction never was a friend of mine
the way we laughed, the way we cried, and how it hurt to say
goodbye
how long can i keep missin' you this way

always............

I sat and watched the aok, drop acorns at my feet
i thought about the good times, and how good they used to be
and then i watched your memory, scatter like dry leaves

always............

Now the wind fades to a whisper, but still i hear your name
i guess that some things in this life, are never gonna change
though every day is different, my love for you remains

always............

I've had my live together now at least a thousand times
but it seems that satisfaction never was a friend of mine
the way we laughed, the way we cried, and how it hurt to say
goodbye
how long can i keep missin' you this way

always............always...............
always............always...............
i miss you.........i'm missin' you
yeah i'm missin' you......always

andy griggs - i don t know a thing

Black smoke rolling from my old Rambler
I pulled into Joe?s Auto Supply
Desperate for some kind of answer
Ol? Joe, he?s a friend of mine
I said, ?Hey Joe I?ve got a problem?
And I told him about what you had done
He looked at me and he shook his head
And said sorry I can?t help you son
I can fix your carburetor
I can rebuild your alternator
I can change the plugs
I can change the wires
Replace all four bald tires
I?ve got a warehouse full of parts
But I don?t know a thing about a broken heart

So I went down to ol? Doc Miller?s
I told the nurse he just had to see me
He took me in when he heard me tell her
This was an emergency
I said, ?Oh Doc, she really hurt me?
And then my tears fell like rain
He said I?ve had at least a million patients
But never one in so much pain
I could write you a prescription
Give you a straight shot of penicillin
I could run a hundred different tests
Or put a stethoscope to your chest
And if it stops I?ll give you CPR
But I don?t know a thing about a broken heart
No, I don?t know a thing about a broken heart
Lord, I don?t know a thing about a broken heart

andy griggs - custom made

She says I'm a piece of work
And I make her laugh
She's got answers
For anything I could ask
Yeah we fit together
Inside and out
She knows where I'm going
Before I turn around
No there ain't another like her
And I can't believe
That her soul and mine
Were meant to be
She flew in first class
Straight from heaven above
I gotta say, she's just like custom made
For me to love (Yeah! Custom made, for me to love)
When I put my arms around her
We just fit
She tells me she ain't never felt
Nothin' like this
Yeah, she's that one in a million
We're two of a kind
I was born to be hers
She was made to be mine
No there ain't another like her
And I can't believe
That her soul and mine
Were meant to be
She flew in first class
Straight from heaven above
I gotta say, she's just like custon made
For me to love
Yeah, she's that one in a million
We're two of a kind
I was born to be hers
She was made to be mine
No there ain't another like her
And I can't believe
That her soul and mine
Were meant to be
She flew in first class
Straight from heaven above
I gotta say, Lord, I gotta say
She's custom made!!
She's custom made! Yeah
Custom made for me to love
Ooo, custom made, yeah
For me to love, yeah
Custom made for me to love
Yeah I gotta say she's custom made
For me to love
