The Good Life Got the Best of Me · 9 October 2003
I started singing country music, back in nineteen-ninety-three
I wanted to provide the good life, for my future wife and me
I sang at the local honkey tonks, then we moved to Tennessee
I hit it big in Nashville, thought that’s how life was supposed to be
My songs all hit the big time, I got a gold CD
Started to have the good life, just my new wife and me
Then fame and fortune went to my head, I started to live the wild life
Didn’t realize that down the road, I might just lose my wife
When my wife had our little baby, she thought I’d get some perspective
Thought I might start thinking about, the way I ought to live
But the good life kept on beckoning, I couldn’t let it go
Still I stood in disbelief, when my wife told me she’d go
Bridge:
I got a fast car I was a country star
I was wild and I was free
I had a different woman every night
They all wanted me
But I lost the women in my life
Who meant the most to me
Well I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
I often think of what might be
If I hadn’t let the good life get the best of me
I spend my nights alone now; my life a living hell
There are groupies downstairs waiting in lobby of this hotel
I just sit here looking at a picture of you and our daughter, Melody
I sent a birthday present, I cant’ believe she’s already three
I think back to the beginning, before I hit it big
When you were by my side, whether or not I got the gig
I just wanted the good life, to be with you every day
Now I’ve got the good life, but I lost you along the way

Write a Song for Me · 8 October 2003
I got a message from the Lord one day
He said, “Write a song for me
Give it rhythm and give it soul
Give it four-part harmony”
He said…
Chorus:
Write another song
So people sing along
To tell the whole world
Jesus loves you
Play it with a band
So people clap their hands
And everybody knows
Jesus cares…
About you (and you and you and you…)
You write songs of love and songs of pain
Now write one full of joy
Give it a simple melody
That everyone can enjoy
Just…
Chorus
So I sat right down and wrote this song
A dictation from God above
To tell of truth and happiness
That comes from the God of love
I heard…
Chorus (2 times with key change second time)
I got a message from the Lord one day…

I Can't Imagine My Life without You · 7 October 2003
Chorus:
I just can’t imagine my life without you
You’re there in everything that I do
And every time my life gets cloudy and blue
I just need to come back to you
When I go astray
I hate to be away
I need you all the time
Jesus be mine
Chorus
I want you all the time
With your hand in mine
Showing me your way
Guide me everyday
Chorus
You’re every step I take
Every move I make
Every song I sing
You’re everything
Chorus
