It was Labor Day just about a year ago hanging with my buddy whose woman was out of control He was feeling pretty down so I put on some country sounds Thank God country music don't take no holidays Chorus Country Music don't take no holiday it's there when you need it anytime night or day if someone does you wrong put on an old Marty Stuart Song cause country music don't take no holidays Verse It's was fourth of July and I was feeling down My woman had left and she slid right out of town She left me with her bills to pay and the whole world was awfully grey Thank God country music don't take no holidays Chorus Country Music don't take no holiday it's there when you need it anytime night or day if someone does you wrong put on an old Hank Williams Song cause country music don't take no holidays Bridge And you if you need a good old friend put on ole Willie and he'll pick you up again Chorus Country Music don't take no holiday it's there when you need it anytime night or day if someone does you wrong put on an old Willie Nelson Song cause country music don't take no holidays

Did they leave the light on for you 03:26

Did they leave the lights on for you Verse You seemed to fade so quickly I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye Did the bright lights come and get you Leaving the rest of us to cry Chorus Did they leave the lights on for you up in heaven So you could find your way We’ll meet again my friend Where the angels sing Verse I’ve been crying all day long As we lay your body down Seem like yesterday We were painting this town Chorus Did they leave the lights on for you up in heaven So you could find your way We meet again my friend Where the angels sing Bridge I hate to ask questions I know it’s gods plan Can you put a good word in for me I’m doing the best I can. Chorus Can you leave the light on for me up in heaven So I can find my way I’ll be looking for you Where the angels sing

Don't make me write a cheating song 03:28

Chorus Don’t make me write a cheating song Killing off the love we had I don’t think my heart could take the news That our love is sinking fast Verse You used to say you loved me Now I barely get hello I hear your out there running While I’m at my show I’ve got an awful feeling Deep down in my soul That you have found another But I can’t let you go Chorus Don’s make me write a cheating song Killing off the love we had I don’t think my heart could take the news That our love is sinking fast Verse I am just a writer A singer of my songs But I can’t tell our story Unless I know what’s wrong Please dispel these rumors And the things that people say Are we still together Or are you going your own way. Chorus Don’t make me write a cheating song Killing off the love we had I don’t think my heart could take the news That our love is sinking fast

Dream villain Verse The other night you said I called you to break up You mentioned I said some pretty nasty stuff You shook me awake and said I’ve had all I can take Honey, why am I your dream villain. Chorus Honey, why am I your dream villain I’m always bad when you’re asleep You sit right up in bed Screaming loud enough to wake the dead Honey, why am I your dream villain Verse Last night you said I brought home your girlfriend You said I was being pretty mean .you accused me of cheating you woke Me up a screaming Honey, why am I your dream villain Chorus Honey, why am I your dream villain I’m always bad when you’re asleep You sit right up in bed Screaming loud enough to wake the dead Honey, why am I your dream villain Bridge Your afraid to go to sleep Cause you say I act like a creep Chorus Honey, why am I your dream villain I’m always bad when you’re asleep You sit right up in bed Screaming loud enough to wake the dead Honey, why am I your dream villain

Evil Ways 03:05

Evil Ways Chorus Doing 3 to 5 in Lebanon for some dumb stuff that I stole for all my Evil ways I had to reap what I sowed When I was a young boy I nicked a thing or two Mama Taught me better but listening to her was so hard to do. When I'm laying in this old bunk, I know that she was right and all my Evil Way must have kept her up a night Chorus Doing 3 to 5 in Lebanon for some dumb stuff that I stole for all my Evil ways I had to reap what I sowed My daddy was a good man no one spoke ill of him he lived his life to warn me but I wouldn't give in. When I'm out here in this hot sun I know that he was right and all my evil ways couldn't help me see the light. Chorus Doing 3 to 5 in Lebanon for some dumb stuff that I stole for all my Evil ways I had to reap what I sowed Now the preacher said last Sunday that a man can still be saved I guess that's a little better then living in an early grave. When I'm laying in this old bunk, I pray every night to forget my evil ways and try to live in the light. Chorus Doing 3 to 5 in Lebanon for some dumb stuff that I stole for all my Evil ways I had to reap what I sowed

Find yourself 03:14
lyrics

Find yourself She reminded me I was her first love As we sat in that cafe Lately things had been drifting The sand was shifting She said that’s it for me Chorus Think about what you’ll lose when u find yourself Go Take your trouble somewhere else I’m sick and tired of all your lines I spent too many nights up crying Thinking about what you’ll lose when you find yourself. Verse I’d been feeling so lost lately Mostly from the same old same I’ve been rambling Bet it all gambling But her voice kept running thru my brain Chorus Think about what you’ll lose when u find yourself Go Take your trouble somewhere else I’m sick and tired of all your line’s I spent too many nights up crying Thinking about what you’ll lose when you find yourself. Bridge I took everything for granted Thinking I could make it on my own But in my struggle for freedom Loneliness is a prison all it’s own Chorus Think about what you’ll lose when u find yourself Go Take your trouble somewhere else I’m sick and tired of all your lines I spent too many nights up crying Thinking about what you’ll do when you find yourself.

Folk Singer 03:54
lyrics

Folksinger Verse He turns 40 on Friday And his hairs getting grey He got no where to go Just sits here all day He's got a quarter in his pocket To check on the kids He’s an old folk singer still trying to live Chorus He's an old folksinger chasing the songs. Stuck in a material world where his kind is dead and gone. Searching for the spotlight the only place he calls home. Just an old folksinger chasing his songs. Verse He fumbles for a camel, then he bums a light. He sit there in silence alone with his mind. When he’s called to the stage, the emotion kicks in He's an old folksinger, showing what could have been. Chorus He's an old folksinger chasing the songs. Stuck in a material world where his kind is dead and gone. Searching for the spotlight the only place he calls home. Just an old folksinger chasing his songs. Bridge 20 some years of all that pain Turning that water to wine You should have seen him Leave it all on the stage But he was lost in his prime Chorus He's an old folksinger chasing the songs. Stuck in a material world where his kind is dead and gone. Searching for the spotlight the only place he calls home. Just an old folksinger chasing his songs. Copyright © 2019, Harold Mike Sizemore

Self Storage 03:58
lyrics

Self Storage Verse I had to barrow my buddy’s truck to move me. I guess I’ll be at mama’s for awhile. She took all the love I had tossed it like a trash bag I’m putting my life in self storage today. [CHORUS] I’m putting my life in self storage The life I had been leading is fading away In a world of promise She broke everyone I’m putting my life in self storage today. [VERSE] As I pull to the fence to drop my things off. I think about a time that is dead and gone. In a life that seemed so real But she broke our deal I’m putting my life in self storage today. [CHORUS] I’m putting my life in self storage The life I had been leading is fading away In a world of promise She broke everyone I’m putting my life in self storage today. [BRIDGE] How does a man start over After all of these lonely years Can you die from a broken heart Or maybe drown in your own tears. [CHORUS] I’m putting my life in self storage The life I had been leading is fading away In a world of promise She broke everyone I’m putting my life in self storage today.

Standing in the Rain 04:30
lyrics

Standing in the Rain It used to be so easy But now the work seems so hard Every night in the barroom I always show my cards. I guess it’s the passion that keeps me on the run. If I wasn’t here I’d be chewing on a loaded gun [CHORUS] I broke a thousand strings to prove my point But it always ended up the same You’d think I’d finally get my shot But I’m still standing in the rain Standing in the rain Standing in the rain [VERSE] Guess I’m not commercial enough People think I’m too old While the rest of the world is settling for Brass I’ll keep searching for a pot of gold Just like my old man told me Son it’s a hard life we lead One day your the king of the world Next day they make you bleed [CHORUS] I broke a thousand strings to prove my point But it always ended up the same You’d think I’d finally get my shot But I’m still standing in the rain Standing in the rain Standing in the rain [BRIDGE] Every time I get what I have Someone tries to take it away. When the bill comes due I always get the check to pay [CHORUS] I broke a thousand strings to prove my point But it always ended up the same You’d think I’d finally get my shot But I’m always standing in the rain Standing in the rain Standing in the rain Copyright © 2020, Harold Mike Sizemore

Tased Again 03:20

Tased again I’m tased again I’m tased again Laying in this parking lot Cause I’m tased again Verse Every time I drink that beam I think I’m Superman Without fail the cops show up Foiling my evil plan I drunk one shot two shot three shot four Fighting the cops dragging me out the door Must be deja vu I think I’ve been here before Chorus I’m tased again I’m tased again Laying in this parking lot Cause I’m tased again It’s 9 o’clock on Saturday night I’m taking my life in my hand Cause I like to get a little rowdy But I’ve gone too far again I guess I should keep my mouth shut While their reading me my rights But I like to keep on raising cain That’s how I ended up tased tonight. I’m tased again I’m tased again Laying in this parking lot Cause I’m tased again
