doing only good of course
to conquer evil in this life
Just Imagine if everyone, everyday
Would rise up to say
I choose to do what is right

The Best Story

Old man out walking with his dog
two young punks come strolling along
looking to make trouble for someone tonight
and they have put the old man dead in their sights
old man says, don’t need no trouble but if it’s what you thirst
better know a little something bout the two of us first
if you’re gonna take your shot, better make it good
I hope you hear what I’m saying and it’s understood
cause, this won’t be going down easy for you at all
there’s a lot of life left in these old dogs

and we’ve always been down for a good fight
sure not gonna give in easy to anything
that comes after us in this life

two young punks leave them be
old man and his dog head on down the street
toward an appointment the two of them need to keep
at an office they’ve been to before, small sign on the door
reads “only service animals allowed to be within”
old man opens the door his dog follows him
in just a few minutes they were seated in
an exam room waiting for the doc
and the news from some test results he’s got
old man says, doc this won’t be easy for cancer at all
there’s a lot of life left in this old dog

and I’ve always been down for a good fight
sure not gonna give in easy to anything
that comes after me in this life

true strength comes from your state of mind
no matter what stage you are in this life
think you are and you’re going to be hard to beat
no matter if it’s two punks out on the street
or a greater battle that comes your way
have the courage to stand there and say
be like the old man saying it won’t be easy at all
there’s a lot of life left yeah,
yeah, he said there’s a lot of life left in this old dog

and I’ve always been down for a good fight
sure not gonna give in easy to anything
that comes after me in this life

eight months after being diagnosed with cancer
old man’s out walking along with his dog
a little worse for the wear but one hell of a fighter
now a cancer surviver who didn’t make it easy at all
cause he’s got a lot of life yet to live
and who will always be down to give a good fight
against anything that comes after him in this life

yeah, you gotta be like the old man
saying when anything comes after me in this life
yeah you gotta say, I’m Always gonna put in a good fight
cause I’ve gotta lot of life yet to live
I’ve got a lot of life to live in this life

Down For a Good Fight

You’re sitting here with me
you’re holding my hand, talking to me
maybe thinking I don’t see
but I certainly can, yes I can
see your wandering eyes looking at her
I can’t help but to wonder
do you really want to be with me
how can I not be a little unsure

you say that you love me
but sometimes what you do says that you don’t
so no matter how much my heart wants to
my intelligence just won’t
no it just won’t let me believe you
based on what I’ve heard
because, honey I’m smart enough to know
those actions of yours
tell me so much more than your words

you’re texting someone again
you’re doing all you can, to hide it from me
maybe thinking I won’t see
but I certainly can, yes I can
see your typing thumbs tapping away
I can’t help but to wonder
who has captured your attention
to have you acting this way

you say that you love me
but sometimes what you do says that you don’t
so no matter how much my heart wants to
my intelligence just won’t
no it just won’t let me believe you
based on what I’ve heard
because, honey I’m smart enough to know
those actions of yours
tell me so much more than your words

honey it’s so many little things
it’s been a few big things too
yes it’s these things that you do
that are speaking for you
telling me no lies, making me see
no matter how much you say it
I’m finding it hard to believe
when you say that you love me
I want to believe it is true
but those actions of yours
tell me so much more, so much more
than your words ever do

and no matter how much my heart wants to
my intelligence won’t let me believe
won’t let me ignore these things I see
yeah, those things that you do
are always telling on you

More Than Your Words

Have so many things I would like to do
just never seem to have any free time to
take a break from this busy life, always on the run
working hard to keep up with all the needs to be done
and tend to those little fires that pop up along the way
got to keep up a hectic pace just to get thru every day

and I’m so damn beat down and tired
of being stuck out in the high speed lane
with the pedal pressed down on the floor
never having enough time to slow down
sure wish I could find myself, just a little more

yeah, Just a little more time to slow down
that’s all I’m asking for

emails, texts, and calls, I’m tired of them all
some one always chasing me down, I’m easily found
never have a place to hide from the incoming tide
of questions, requests, pollster’s being pests
scammers, hackers, and trolls all trying their best
got to keep up a hectic pace to stay ahead in the race

and I’m so damn beat down and tired
of being stuck out in the high speed lane
with the pedal pressed down on the floor
never having enough time to slow down
sure wish I could find myself, just a little more

yeah, Just a little more, just a little more
time to slow down
that’s all, that’s all, all I’m asking for

sure would be nice to slow down my pace
not have to worry about falling behind
In this modern day, take it to the limit, rat race
of a life, sure would be nice, wouldn’t it be nice
before I loose this ever loving mind of mine
to have some extra time

I'm just so damn beat down and tired
it sure would be nice to have
to have, just a little, just need a little
yeah, just a little more time
that’s all I’m asking for, sure would be nice
to have just a little
yeah, just a little more time

Beat Down and Tired

The Best Story

Old man out walking with his dog
two young punks come strolling along
looking to make trouble for someone tonight
and they have put the old man dead in their sights
old man says, don’t need no trouble but if it’s what you thirst
better know a little something bout the two of us first
if you’re gonna take your shot, better make it good
I hope you hear what I’m saying and it’s understood
cause, this won’t be going down easy for you at all
there’s a lot of life left in these old dogs

and we’ve always been down for a good fight
sure not gonna give in easy to anything
that comes after us in this life

two young punks leave them be
old man and his dog head on down the street
toward an appointment the two of them need to keep
at an office they’ve been to before, small sign on the door
reads “only service animals allowed to be within”
old man opens the door his dog follows him
in just a few minutes they were seated in
an exam room waiting for the doc
and the news from some test results he’s got
old man says, doc this won’t be easy for cancer at all
there’s a lot of life left in this old dog

and I’ve always been down for a good fight
sure not gonna give in easy to anything
that comes after me in this life

true strength comes from your state of mind
no matter what stage you are in this life
think you are and you’re going to be hard to beat
no matter if it’s two punks out on the street
or a greater battle that comes your way
have the courage to stand there and say
be like the old man saying it won’t be easy at all
there’s a lot of life left yeah,
yeah, he said there’s a lot of life left in this old dog

and I’ve always been down for a good fight
sure not gonna give in easy to anything
that comes after me in this life

eight months after being diagnosed with cancer
old man’s out walking along with his dog
a little worse for the wear but one hell of a fighter
now a cancer surviver who didn’t make it easy at all
cause he’s got a lot of life yet to live
and who will always be down to give a good fight
against anything that comes after him in this life

yeah, you gotta be like the old man
saying when anything comes after me in this life
yeah you gotta say, I’m Always gonna put in a good fight
cause I’ve gotta lot of life yet to live
I’ve got a lot of life to live in this life

Down For a Good Fight
