HE DIDN'T DO
He Didn’t Do
Verse 1
My old man came from the wrong side of the tracks,
He loved breaking momma’s heart like his whiskey glass,
He used those same ways he broke her in two,
On sister and me but we never knew,
Bullying wasn’t something he didn’t do,
Verse 2
He was only strong as the weakest in our house,
Life hit hard with him but we all survived somehow,
Like the devil in disguise he lied to us to,
I prayed knowing God would help me make it through,
Believing was something Dad didn’t do,
Chorus 1
Didn’t do the crazy fights, with my wife,
Didn’t make my kids run, scream, and hide,
Didn’t leave em’ feeling so black and blue,
I learned a lot about life from him, that’s the truth,
By doing everything he didn’t do,
Verse 3
Nowadays I’m raising a family of my own,
Life’s been better since he’s been good and gone,
When it came to a Dad I couldn’t pick or choose,
Sometimes I wonder what was his excuse,
For doing everything, I wouldn’t do,
Chorus 2
Didn’t do the crazy fights, with my wife,
Didn’t make my kids run, scream, and hide,
Didn’t leave em’ feeling so black and blue,
I learned a lot about life from him, that’s the truth,
By doing everything, by doing everything, he didn’t do,
Bridge
It may be hard to understand,
He made me… a better man…,
(Chorus 2) - Repeat
Outro
I learned a lot about life from him, that's the truth,
By doing everything he didn’t do…
By doing everything he didn’t do…..

NEVER DID
Never Did
V1
We were high on honeymoon low on money,
Bittersweet love, that was our twenties,
Old enough, but too young to commit,
Thought we’d always stay together,
But we never did,
V2
Yeah we held each other so close, danced when it rained,
Shared the tears, through our laughter and pain,
Dreamed of a big house and little kids,
Promised to give her the world, forever,
But I never did,
Chorus
Never did undo our done and gone,
She learned to let go, I tried to moved on,
But I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
V3
Just looking back now, on us then,
Wishing we were one all over again,
Can’t forgot them last words from her lips,
Swore she’d stay in touch when I left,
But she never did,
Chorus
Never did undo our done and gone,
I let her go she tried to hold on,
And I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
Bridge
She went out into the world,
Thought I lost my country girl,
God brought her back in the end,
Never thought she’d be back in my arms again
Chorus
Cause I.. Never did undo our done and gone,
I let her go, she tried to hold on
And I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
To the why we never did,
Never did I pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
We never did,
Never did.... --- END ---

THAT WAS ME
That was me
V1
Hell on wheels, seventeen,
Burning goodyears and valvoline,
In a worn out Ford,
That was me,
V2
Thought I knew bout’ everything,
Chasing crazy high school dreams,
So far from the truth,
Yeah that was me,
Chorus
That was me ten feet tall being bulletproof,
Like a rebel without a cause
Like I had something to prove,
That was me dust on boots faded Levi Jeans,
Tugging hearts with the same six strings,
Just like now, back then, that was me,
V3
Overnight I’ve come and gone,
Like them glory days in my song,
Old young memories,
Thinking that was me,
Chorus
That was me ten feet tall being bulletproof,
Like a rebel without a cause
Like I had something to prove,
That was me dust on boots faded Levi Jeans,
Tugging hearts with the same six strings,
Just like now, back then, that was me
Bridge
Still believe I’m the same as I used to be,
Looking in the mirror it’s gettin’ harder to see,
Chorus
That was me ten feet tall being bulletproof,
Like a rebel without a cause
Like I had something to prove,
That was me dust on boots faded Levi Jeans,
Tugging hearts with the same six strings,
Just like now, back then, that was me
Just like now back then that was me,
Just like now back then that was me... --- END ---

HALFTIME
Halftime
V1
9 years out of 18,
Not too bad a score,
But I think you know by now son,
I always wanted more,
V2
Took a knee so many nights,
On Armour Avenue,
Mom and I couldn’t make it right,
And now it’s half-time with you,
Chorus
I learned a half made a hole,
In this old heart of mine,
And even though you’re grown,
And I know you’re doing fine,
Son, I wanted more than half- time with you,
V3
Looked back on our game plan,
Replayed the highlights in my mind,
That play clock never lied,
I just ran out of time with you,
Chorus
I learned a half made a hole,
In this old heart of mine,
And even though you’re grown,
And I know you’re doing fine,
Son, I wanted more than half-time with you,
Bridge
20 years down the line,
Little ones of your own,
Hope you never have half-times,
Or a game you play alone,
Chorus
I learned a half made a hole,
In this old heart of mine,
And even though you’re grown,
And I know you’re doing fine,
Son, I wanted more than half-time with you,
Son, I wanted more than half-time with you
