My baby said Doug you been drinkin' too much Your breath smells like stale whiskey and such You been stumbling 'round, breakin' my favorite things It's gettin' to the point I've had enough You can quit drinkin or just pack your stuff I said wait a minute baby I'll quit drinkin' tomorrow CH I'll quit drinkin' tomorrow That's just what I'm gonna do To my bartender's sorrow I'll quit drinkin' for you I might be just another drunken bum But as far as I can tell tomorrow never comes I wake up every morning thankin' the Lord for today My boss said Doug can ya step in here, Close the door behind you you smell like a beer Don't you realize, we frown upon that kind of thing around here Maybe if you need it we can get you some help Maybe you just wanna quit drinkin yourself I said "I got this boss" I'll quit drinkin' tomorrow CH I'll quit drinkin' tomorrow That's just what I'm gonna do To my bartender's sorrow I'll quit drinkin' for you I might be just another drunken bum But as far as I can tell tomorrow never comes I wake up every morning thankin' the Lord for today The doc said Doug you gotta quit real soon You liver's swoll up like a party balloon He said, I can't give more than three or four more years Maybe if you really don't care 'bout yourself Think about your kids, take care of your health I said "what's up Doc?" I'll quit drinkin' tomorrow CH I'll quit drinkin' tomorrow That's just what I'm gonna do To my bartender's sorrow I'll quit drinkin' for you I might be just another drunken bum But as far as I can tell tomorrow never comes I wake up every morning thankin' the Lord for today

Scars 03:45
Scars By Doug Williams V1 C F C I got scars on my knuckles and forearms, from punching out windows C A- G I got scars from motorcycle wrecks, on my knees and elbows C F C I got scars on my fingers from working to make an honest living A- F G I got scars on my face from taking the (stuff) that they're giving CH1 A- G F C They're my scars they make me me, they're the things that set me apart A- G F C And the only ones that you can't see, are the scars running cross my heart V2 C F C My beat up old Honda has almost as many as me C A- G And those scars keep people of our ass, when we're on the highway C F C Your scars tell a story that can only be read by a lover A- F G And you learn so much when you see the ones she tries to cover CH2 A- G F C They're her scars they make her her, no other way it ever were G F C And the scars on my baby's body are beautiful to me V3 C F C She's got little stretchy scars on the underside of her belly C A- G She's got three or four little ones from her surgery C F C She's got scars on her heart with my name written all over 'em A- F G Yet she chooses to love me, though I fail to see BR A- E- F C Some of us have a scar, and we know just who we are A- F G Memories of when we were no good A- E- But before you try to hide it F C Just remember how you could have died it's G F C Just a subtle reminder to avoid that neighborhood V4 C F C You make me wanna ride the weather line, and work in the city C A- G You make me wanna walk the narrow line, and stay out of jail C A- C You make me wanna coach the little league, and work in the garden A- F G You make me wanna be a better man, than my scars will tell CH3 A- G Cos they're your scars and they make you you F C And you're the only one that I know who G F C Knows the scars on my soul and body better than I do

Let the sun shine Let the rain fall Let the grass grow in your mind Let the moon rise Let the tide get high Let the space make way for time Let the oppressed Cry for justice Independence true and fine Give us peace now Give us freedom Give a way to pass the time Give us thy will be done Give us a handgun And a jones that won't go away Persecution And pollution Politicians that like it that way Let the sun shine Let the rain fall Let the grass grow in your mind Let the sun shine Let the rain fall Let the grass grow in your mind Let the sun shine in Let the rain fall down Let the grass grow high Let the sun shine in Let the rain fall down Let the grass grow high

You came to me in my time of need When I was sad and all alone You walked into my broken life And patched up all the holes You gave me something to try for Somebody to love A little bit of real evidence There's someone up above CH Isn't that a good dog Isn't that a pretty dog Isn't that a pretty good dog Isn't that a good dog Isn't that a pretty dog Isn't that a pretty good dog You always loved my cats You never ate a single one I can forgive you for the gerbils Cos you were just a dog And although you loved to wander It never made you roam At the end of the day You'd always pack it up And come on home CH Isn't that a good dog Isn't that a pretty dog Isn't that a pretty good dog Isn't that a good dog Isn't that a pretty dog Isn't that a pretty good dog
