Truck Driving Man
03:52
|
|||
Spoken: this goes out to all the men and women driving the back roads and highways of this great nation. I'm talking about truck driving whether it's 6 or 18 wheels, bringing you all those products you need for your daily living. I know cause I'm a truck driving man.
Diesel hummin, wheels rollin
I’m a truck drivin man
Gotta load , i gotta drop
Doin the best that i can
Got Hank and Johnny, Willie and Waylon
Got me some good tunes
There’s nothing better
to get me through my day
Than Webb, Lefty and George Jones
Hey, yeh, yeh, yeh
I’m a Truck Driving Man
Hey lady put that coffee down
Hey Mister stop fooling around
Hey Kids put them cell phones away
Got a wife and family waiting for me
I'm a truck driving man
Diesel hummin, wheels rollin
I’m a truck drivin man
Got a job and I’m gettin to it
Doin the best that I can
Through the rain and the snow
And the heat and the cold
I’m a truck driving man
This big old rig she ain't forgiving
When you cut her off time and time again.
Hey, yeh, yeh, yeh
I’m a Truck Driving Man
Hey lady put that coffee down
Hey Mister stop fooling around
Hey Kids put them cell phones away
Got a wife and family waiting for me
I'm a truck driving man
Hey, yeh, yeh, yeh
I’m a Truck Driving Man

Working Man's Blues
03:34
|
|||
I’m proud to say that I’m blue collar man
Like my daddy and his pappy before him
Working morning til late every day
5,6,7 days a week
Now it ain’t that I got nothin against
Wearing a shirt and a tie
A white collar job just aint for me
And I'm gonna tell you why
But there’s a certain sense of pride
That you just feel inside
When your hands are all covered in grease.
I got that working man’s blues
Its all i can do
A white collar job just ain't for me
Well I
Got 7 mouths to feed
More money is what we all need
Bossman I’ll take that extra shift
But it never seems to be enough
Overtime’s the working man’s drug
All we do is make the taxman rich.
Dont need no politicians lies
Says he stands up for me
All awhile i know he’s full of sh*t
But there’s a certain sense of pride (Chorus 2x)
That you just feel inside
When your hands are all covered in grease.
I got that working man’s blues
Its all i can do
A white collar job just ain't for me.

Seatbelt
02:48
|
|||
I don’t wear seatbelts so I can see Jesus
Cause I can’t stand your complaining anymore
no room for explaining, no use in trying
When you want my ass out the door.
Ain’t it funny, how lovin is better
When you start to kiss and make up
I can’t take it, I only can fake it
When you start to scream and shout.
I say its you and you say its me
And we aint the only ones like that
All our tomorrows and all of our yesterdays
The scripts just the same, that’s the fact
Ain’t it funny, how lovin is better
When you start to kiss and makeup
I can’t take it, I only can fake it
When you start to scream and shout.
I don’t wear seatbelts

I'm as Good
04:20
|
|||
Well I’m as good as I ever was
And I’m as good as I’m ever gonna be
You think you change me woman
What I got is all you’re gonna see
Someday and it may come
And someday it may never be
I’m as good as I ever was
And I’m as good as I’m ever gonna be.
We been together woman
For such a long time
Seen our share of good times
And of course some things turn out bad
I was yours and you were mine
Just ain’t no denying
And through it all
You just know we were meant to be.
Well I’m as good as I ever was
And I’m as good as I’m ever gonna be
You think you change me woman
What I got is all you’re gonna see
One day and it may come
And one day it may never be
If you’re looking for something else
Well that something sure ain’t me.
Well I’m as good as I ever was
And I’m as good as I’m ever gonna be
You think you change me woman
What I got is all you’re gonna see
Someday and it may come
And someday it may never be
I just might saddle on outta here
And that’s the last you’ll ever see of me.

Light 'em up
03:49
|
|||
Light ‘em up if you got ‘em
Light ‘em up if you can
I ain’t talking bout no cigarettes
Or Willie Nelson’s brand
Take a swig if you got it
Take a swig if you can
I ain’t talking bout no monster drink
I’m a Jameson kind of man
I don’t care what people say
What you should and shouldn’t do
You only get one song to sing
So I’m gonna make it good
Light ‘em up if you got ‘em
Light ‘em up if you can
I ain’t talking bout no cigarettes
Or Willie Nelson’s brand
Give Me a Cohiba
Or any decent brand
Just cut it and light it
But don’t you ever inhale…
I don’t care what people say
What you should and shouldn’t do
You only get one song to sing
So I’m gonna make it good
Light ‘em up if you got ‘em
Light ‘em up if you can
I ain’t talking bout no cigarettes
Or Willie Nelson’s brand
Take a swig if you got it
Take a swig if you can
I ain’t talking bout no monster drink
I’m a Jameson kind of man
Light ‘em up if you got ‘em
Light ‘em up if you can
I ain’t talking bout no cigarettes
Or Willie Nelson’s brand

The Eagle
03:50
|
|||
Gather round now
I tell you a story bout a man, righteous, honest and true
Bout A man That they call the Eagle
A better man than me and you
He travels 'round the country,
Speaking to all from the very young to their elders
Talks of treating others with love and respect
You want a better world, well it starts with you
We’re all given a gift when we are born
God’s given us a mission to do
The only limits that you have are those that you accept.
Like a kite in the sky, just follow your dream.
There'll be those who say that you can't do it
There'll be those that try to drag you down.
Jealousy, envy, and evil
Have no place in this world, don't keep them around.

My baby don't want to live no more
She don't know the reason why
Oh please help us help us Lord
No one should go before their time.
My baby's she’s in so much pain
Hates her life aint that a shame
Oh Jesus oh Jesus send your angels down
Help keep her soul safe and sound
My baby don't want to live no more
She don't know the reason why
Oh please help us help us Lord
No one should go before their time.
My baby don’t want to live no more
She just want to up and die.

Sad Song
04:26
|
|||
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's breaking
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's broke once again
Happened again, when you went away
They came for you, no word was spoken
And then you turned, and you smiled
Right back at me
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's breaking
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's broke once again
The hurt only goes away
When you finally forget
But I don't want to ever
Ever forget you never will
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's breaking
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's broke once again
The hurt only goes away
When you finally forget
But I never will
And this is what I'll take
Til the rest rest of my days.
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's breaking
Sing me a sad sad song
Cause my heart's broke once again

Stan Matthews Worcester, Massachusetts
I’m a solo artist . My music is stark, stripped bare, the lyrics are honest. I sing about life from the perspective of the working man. My songs take you on life’s journey; search for love, joy of a child’s birth,the struggle of relationships, the anguish at the loss of a job, the sorrow at a loved one’s passing. I perform locally and my music can be heard on radio worldwide. ... more
