Tom T Hall—I Love
I love little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks Slow movin’ trains and rain I love little country streams, sleep without dreams Sunday school in May and hay And I love you too I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends Birds of the world and squirrels I love coffee in a cup, little …
Daylight – Maroon 5
Here I am waiting I’ll have to leave soon Why am I holding on? We knew this day would come We knew it all along How did it come so fast? This is our last night but it’s late And I’m trying not to sleep Cause I know, when I wake, I will have to …

tenterfield saddler
The late George Woolnough worked on High Street and lived on manners Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles And if you had questions bout sheep or flowers or dogs you’d just ask the saddler, he lived without sin they’re building a library for him Time is a traveller, Tenterfield …
it works
He rattles his glass She jumps up fast And pours him a glass a tea Deep in her heart she believes That’s the way it should be Yeah, now I’ve seen my dad get fightin’ mad Over on little four letter word He’ll tell you fast you don’t talk like that around her We may …
