Lay Down river, Man’s gotta cross. X2 I Gotta see my baby no matter what the cost Sky quit a cryin end my misery, X2 Let your sun outshinin’ & leave my river be Been too long on the farm Gotta cross somehow for my babys charm Bridge is out and the waters high I’m gotta see my sugar ‘fo I die The Flood is rushin and ferry went down. I gotta get my baby up to Higher Ground Rivers a risen, rain comin down hard Gotta cross the water fore I’m gone.

Dust! 04:18
The rain don’t fall the creek won’t rise Everybody is so surprised From the county farm office to the Congressman Its Dust again What did we do to ease this pain Were lookin to the heavens for some answers again And no one wants to take the blame Dust again (Alone…No Vocal Back) Now I don’t want to ring no bell But I stare into the depths of my deep dark well And I drop a rock but all I can tell Is dust again. (Dust again) Dust! The sun shines hotter than ever before Should end pretty soon I just don’t know If it all drys up we]ll have to go To dust again so got me a shovel and I got me a pick (got him a shovel) I tighten my jaw aint gonna be licked. (aint gonna be licked) But I dig a little deeper and all I get is Dust again the corn wont grow, aint got No Hay and pretty damn soon Ill just blow away aint much reason for me to stay its Dust again all we did was what were told now were waitin for the comin but he just don’t show and pretty damn soon well have to go/ Got plenty of nothing don’t need no more. to dust again,

Courtney (is dancing tonight) (Stuart Niemi) « © '06 Spectre Music, BMI / Magnachord Music, ASCAP » I wrote an editorial got published in the NY times Talkin bout the morals in America that’s on the decline The preacher from the church’s on the phone and he’s talking me blind But I don’t hear a word cause Courtney’ is dancing tonight I told my self that I shouldn’t go there no more but Im talking to a man that’s really raving outta control Strugglin with a lie & fightin with all of my might Im’ losing again cause Courtney’s dancing tonight X2 Dance for me pretty thing, You know what I want Shake it, Shake it all around, Show me what you got, Whatcha got Tomorrow I speak to the class that’ll graduate And Ill say things to inspire and motivate How do I tell em the way I feel inside? The only thing that matter ’z that Courtney’s dancing tonight I got a little quite cause I finally put the kids to sleep The church is on hold and tomorrow Ill finish that speech My wifes on the net booking us a getaway flight. And Im in walkin’ out the door cause Courtney’s dancing tonight. Dance for me pretty thing, You got what I want Shake it, Shake it on and on, You know that your hot Dance for me little one we got what we need Shake it, shake it all around. Take all that you can steal Dance for me round and round, You know what I want Shake it, Shake it up and down, no said you can’t.
