Been scheming since you were young of the pipe organ playing and releasing of doves wearing white with your hair done up making your parents proud When you're looking for just anyone keep your eyes peeled for a sign from God getting hitched will be so much fun in time you can turn it to love You've been waiting your whole life Just to be a submissive wife Giving up on what you like To settle for what is at hand This has always been the dream To make it last fulfill his needs This will give your life meaning How can you pass up this chance? College set you up with a gullible jerk got a four-year degree but never planned to work maybe substitute teach till you get knocked up or find something easier to do Patience gave way to good timing but you wouldn't put out till you got that ring now he's working overtime while you watch tv and stay at home eating for two SOUTHERN GIRLS wait their whole lives Just to be submissive wives Giving up on what they like To settle for what is at hand This has always been the dream A good wife must fulfill his needs This will give your lives meaning So how could you pass up this chance? We both know there's no mister right You choose someone and then survive Having kids will help you get by Till you can grow old and die If you stay in love with his ideal You won't care how you feel Believing won't make it real You choose to live the lie

I'm too tired to break up I haven't the strength to fight When it's so much easier To lay in your arms tonight I don't want to start this now I don't want to make you cry I'm too tired to break your heart If I have to explain just why I'm too tired to break up, I'll stay for one more night In the morning I'll wake up and make things right I'm too tired to break up Let's do it some other time When I'm feeling stronger When you don't think you'll mind I don't want to do this now Let's wait for another day Then it will be easier Cause I'll have all the words to say I'm to tired to break up, I'll stay for one more night And in the morning we'll wake up I'll forget how I thought we could make up In the morning we'll break up and say goodbye

Some folks fight just to feel passion A heated spat to pass this time But with my woman it's easy We never raise our voice In whispers alone it is revealed In you I will rest The night we met you started a new chapter And I told everyone I'd met my girl We knew our wait was over So we called off the search We weren't even looking In you I will rest Project what you want on me Take all the time you need To believe in what you see One nervous first date couldn't slow the feeling And a whole week of nights made it secure I told you I would move with you I'd go wherever you go I said 'Darling this is real, just take my word' And in you I will rest

Since I Left Town (free) 03:18
I hear you've been hanging all around my girlfriend Ever since I left town Now I can't imagine just why you would do that Askin' if she wants to step out Now don't be concerned man it won't be a problem As long as none of it's true Cause I'll kick you in the teeth If you don't leave her alone Try me, see what I do Now baby, don't worry, this blood is not mine My talk got a bit out of hand Plus there're still some things I don't get That you never told me Some things I don't quite understand Now don't be scared dear it won't be a problem I just want to hear if from you Oh it's quite an awful way to be treatin' your sweetheart So sorry, but what could I do Night's almost over, there's no time to dig more There won't be enough room for the two So your bodies in his truck at the bottom of the lake And the sun's coming up without you

Moses don't hit that rock or you'll never get into that promised land x3 The Lord gave it to you but now he's gonna take it away Aaron don't make the golden calf or you'll never get into that promised land x3 The Lord gave it to you but now he's gonna take it away Don't complain to the Lord bout the manna from heaven or you'll never get into that promised land x3 The Lord gave it to you but now he's gonna take it away Don't listen to the words of the other ten spies or you'll never get into that promised land Don't listen to the words of the unfaithful spies or you'll never get into that promised land Don't listen to the words of the other ten spies or you'll never get into that promised land Joshua and Caleb are the only ones he's letting in Moses! Don't hit that rock!

Don't Make Me Choose (free) 02:59
It's been a few months since I got married And there's things I left behind Like I cut back on my gamblin' And times I stayed out all night While at first I was excited to see what habits I could break There were certain things that I didn't want to change She told me 'Baby I think it's important That you still have your fun But there're some minor adjustments When you commit to someone You can still watch your football You can still dress the same But if you wanna get some lovin' you'll shave' Don't make me choose Don't make me choose Don't make me choose Don't make me choose Don't put me to the test To see which I love best Cause I'm not really sure what I'll do Now this problem's been growing Between me and my girl Where at first she was supportive Now she says what she prefers All my friends say in a marriage You can't always have your way You pick your battles and on this one you should cave Don't pressure me cause I'm not sure which way I'll lean If it's you or the moustache If it's you or the moustache If you're up against the moustache You'll lose
