"Tough" by Craig Morgan (Monty Criswell/Bill Leathers)

1st Verse

She's in the kitchen at the crack 'a dawn
Bacon's on, coffee's strong
Kids runnin' wild
Takin' off their clothes
If she's a nervous wreck
Well, it never shows
Takes one to football and one to dance
Kiss the wife 'fore her aerobics class
Drops by the bank
Stops at the store
Has on a smile when I walk through the door
The last to go to bed
She'll be the first one up
And I thought I was tough

Chorus

She's strong
Pushes on
Can't slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough

2nd Verse

We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know
The test showed
She'd have to fight to live
I broke down and cried
She held me and said,
'It's gonna be alright'
She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear
Full of faith
Hands held high singing 'Amazing Grace'
Never once complained
Refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

She's a gentle word
The sweetest kiss
A velvet touch against my skin
I've seen her cry
I've seen her break
But in my eyes she'll always be strong

Tag

There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough



   "Little Bit Of Life" by Craig Morgan (Danny Wells/Tony Mullins)

1st Verse

A little bit 'a guitar
A little bit 'a truck
A little bit 'a hound dog
And a little bit 'a luck
A little bit 'a bacon
A little bit 'a beans
A little bit 'a you lovin' up on me
A little bit 'a how it's s'pposed to be
A little bit 'a life

2nd Verse

A little bit 'a back seat
A little bit 'a moon
A little bit 'a radio
Goin' boom, boom, boom
A little bit 'a sugar
A little bit 'a spice
A little bit 'a nasty
A little bit 'a nice
A little bit 'a how it's s'pposed to be
A little bit 'a life

Chorus

I breathe in, I breathe out
Yeah, sleepin' all night with the windows down
Up in the mornin' stirrin' around
Drink a pot 'a coffee and I head off to town
Work, work, work, all day long
Crank it up, bag it up, bring it on home
Supper on the table, and I ate me a bite
Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moonlight
A little bit 'a me and you doin' all right
A little bit 'a life

3rd Verse

A little bit 'a tractor
A little bit 'a farm
A little bit 'a corn field
And a little bit 'a barn
A little bit 'a come on
A little bit 'a play
A little bit 'a yee haw in the hay
A dixie cup 'a homemade wine
A little bit 'a life

(Repeat Chorus)

4th Verse

A little bit 'a back porch
A little bit 'a swing
A little bit 'a wind chimes
Goin' ding-a-ling
A little bit 'a TV
A little bit 'a couch
Popcorn smellin' up the house
A la mode on a little slice of homemade pie
A little bit 'a life

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

A little bit 'a me and you doin' all right
A little bit 'a life
Yeah, a little bit 'a life
A little bit 'a guitar
A little bit 'a truck
A little bit 'a hound dog
A little bit 'a luck
A little bit 'a back seat
A little bit 'a moon
A little bit 'a radio
Boom, boom, boom
A little bit 'a bacon
A little bit 'a beans
A little bit 'a you lovin' up on me
A little bit 'a come on
A little bit 'a play



   "I Got You" by Craig Morgan (Craig Morgan/Tim Owens/Phil O'Donnell)

1st Verse

I've had big dreams come true
And I believe in angels
Although I can't see them
They're watchin' over
Everything I do

2nd Verse

Ain't no easy street
Around the bend in my road
No pot of gold
At the end of my rainbow
But I don't mind
'Cause baby, I got you

Chorus

(Oh) (the rain) keeps the flowers from dyin'
The sun lights the world when it shines (the sun)
The midnight sky has a blanket of stars
And the moon
And baby, I got you
(Yeah, well, baby I got you)

3rd Verse

I can't imagine
One day without you in it
Life alone
Just wouldn't be worth livin'
Love would be
A wish that never came true

4th Verse

Lord knows
I got more than I deserve
But I don't question
The prayers I've been answered
I did somethin' right
'Cause baby, I got you

(Chorus Out)



   "Redneck Yacht Club" by Craig Morgan (Thom Shepherd/Steve Williams)

1st Verse

I'm meetin' my buddies out on the lake
We're headed out to a special place we love
That just a few folks know
There's no signin' up
No monthly dues
Take your Johnson, your Mercury, or your Evinrude
And fire it up
Meet us out at party cove
Come on in, the water's fine
Just idle on over and toss us a line

Chorus

Bass-trackers, Bayliners, and a party barge
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long
Side by side there's five houseboat front porches
Astroturf, lawn chairs, and Tiki torches
Regular Joe's rockin' the boat, that's us
The redneck yacht club

2nd Verse

Bermudas, flip-flops, and a tank-top tan
He popped his first top at 10 AM, that's Bob
He's our president
We're checkin' out the girls on the upper deck
Rubbin' in the 15 SPF, it's hot
Everybody's jumpin' in
Later on when the sun goes down
We'll pull out the jar and that old guitar
And pass 'em around

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

When the party's over, and we're all alone
We'll be makin' waves in a no wake zone

(Chorus Out)



  "That's What I Love About Sunday" by Craig Morgan (Adam Dorsey/Mark Narmore)

1st Verse

Raymond's in his Sunday best
He's usually up to his chest
In oil and grease
There's the Martin's walkin' in
With that mean little freckle-faced kid
Who broke a window last week
Sweet Miss Betty likes to sing off-key
In the pew behind me

1st Chorus

That's what I love about Sunday
I sing along as the choir sways
Every verse of Amazing Grace
And then we shake the Preacher's hand
Go home into your blue jeans
Have some chicken and some baked beans
Pick a backyard football team
Not do much of anything
That's what I love about Sunday

2nd Verse

I stroll to the end of the drive
Pick up the Sunday Times
Grab a coffee cup
It looks like Sally and Rod
Finally tied the knot
Well, it's about time
It's 35 cents off of ground round
Baby, cut that coupon out

2nd Chorus

That's what I love about Sunday
Cat-napping on the porch swing
You curled up next to me
The smell of jasmine wakes us up
Take a walk down a back road
Tackle box and a cane pole
Carve our names in that white oak
And steal a kiss as the sun fades
That's what I love about Sunday
Oh, yeah

Tag Chorus

Ooh, new believers gettin' baptized
Momma's hands raised up high
Havin' a Hallelujah good time
A smile on everybody's face
That's what I love about Sunday
Oh, yeah
That's what I love about Sunday
Oh, yeah



"Almost Home" by Craig Morgan (Craig Morgan/Kerry Kurt Phillips)

1st Verse

He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evenin' news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank's sign was flashin' five below
It was freezin' rain and spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said 'Ol' man, are you okay?'

Chorus

(He said)
'(Yeah,) I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
(Where) I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip-dryin' in the summer breeze
And after jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an ol' dirt road
Past a field of hay that'd just been mowed
Man, I wish you'd just left me alone
('Cause) I was almost home'

2nd Verse

Then he said
'I's just comin' 'round the barn
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler 'Son, hurry up'
I was close enough for my ol' nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw Daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been'

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I said
'Ol' man, you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission'
He said
'Boy, if you'd left me alone, right now I'd be fishin''

(Repeat Chorus)

'Man, I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home'
