  (Sample lyrics)

  "I hated like the devil,
  To tell her we were through.
  I was sure it would break her heart,
  Tear her world in two.
  She is such a fragile thing,
  Lord, I hate to make her cry,
  So I broke it to her gently,
  When I told her goodbye.
  She cussed me like a sailor,
  Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall,
  She threw a fit and threw the phone,  
  Half-way down the hall. 
  She said 'I'll be down at the bar', 
  Then I heard the front door slam (BLAM).
  I guess all in all,
  She took it like a man."

"Queen Of Memphis"

(Sample lyrics)

"I saw stars dancing on the water,  

I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes.   

That old muddy river was my witness, 

The night I fell in love with the queen of Memphis.  

I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms,  

She showed me things I'd never seen back there on that farm,  

She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams,  

A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen."

"Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind"
