Sammy Kershaw Politics Religion&Her Lyrics
1.Here She Comes

(sammy kershaw)

Here she comes boy, the one i've been talkin' about
The one i just can't live without
Here she comes boy

Her warm kisses they linger in my mind
I think of them all the time
Her warm kisses

Well everyone can see that we used to be
A picture made so perfectly
Now they don't see the ring
And all the things
I did for her to be free

Well my mistake was thinkin' she'd be her forever
And she wouldn't leave me no never
Yeah my mistake was

Well everyone can see that we used to be
A picture made so perfectly
Now they don't see the ring
And all the things
I did for her to be free

Well there she goes boy walkin' with a new one beside her
I guess i'll have to live without her
'cause there she goes boy
I guess i'll have to live without her
'cause there she goes boy


2.For Years

(harley allen/stacey earle)

There's a white mark on my hand
Where i wore our wedding band
Had to force myself to lay it down
So i put it in my drawer
Just can't wear that ring no more
I've carried it around for years

There's a picture that i've had
In my wallet hid in back
The one i like the best of me and you
Gonna take it out today
And make myself throw it away
I've carried it around for years

Clean the shelves and sweep the floors
Hide things in the back of drawers
Take down the curtains that you made
Birthday cards and valentines
Everything you ever signed
Take 'em all and throw 'em all away

Clean the shelves and sweep the floors
Hide things in the back of drawers
Take down the curtains that you made
But some things you can't put down
Like the way i love you sounds
I'll carry that around for years

There's some things you can't put down
Like the way i love you sounds
I'll carry that around for years


3.Memphis, Tennessee

(chuck berry)

Long distance information
Give me memphis, tennessee
Help me find the party
Tryin' to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number
But i know who placed the call
'cause my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall

Help me information
Get in touch with my marie
She's the only one who'd phone for me here
From memphis, tennessee
Her home is on the south side
High up on a ridge
Just a half a mile
From the mississippi bridge

Help me information
More than that i can not add
Only that i miss her
And all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart
Because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home
In memphis, tennessee

Last time i saw marie
She was wavin' me goodbye
With hurry-home drops on her cheek
That trickled from her eye
Well marie is only six years old
Information please
Try to put me through to her
In memphis, tennessee

So long distance information
Give me memphis, tennessee
Help me find the party
Tryin' to get in touch with me
Well marie is only six years old
Information please
Try to put me through to her
In memphis, tennessee


4.I Saw You Today

(bobby braddock)

Despite all the distance and time
And the changes that i have gone through
You never strayed far from my mind
And i never stop hoping once more i'll see you

Then i saw you today
In the backyard at play
Baby blue eyes, blond hair in the wind
She's you all over again
Although you went away
I saw you today

I used to wish on a star
And i used to send up a prayer
To heaven where i know you are
That some day i'd see you up there or somewhere

Then i saw you today
In the backyard at play
Baby-blue eyes, blond hair in the wind
She's you all over again
Although you went away
I saw you
I saw you today


5.These Flowers

(rick giles/chris waters)

I wanted to make a good impression on this date
So i stopped off and picked these out myself
But i hope you understand that this package in my hand
Is actually meant for someone else

These flowers ain't for you
They're for your momma
Later on i got something for you too
These flowers ain't for you
They're for you momma
To thank her for havin'
A good lookin' sweet young thing like you

You don't have to ask, i admit that in my past
I ain't been the type that mommas like
But this time what i need is you forever lovin' me
So i'm doing all i can to do things right

These flowers ain't for you
They're for your momma
Later on i got something for you too
These flowers ain't for you
They're for you momma
To thank her for havin'
A girl of my sweet dreams
A good lookin' sweet young thing like you

You mean so much to me
I'd do anything to get to you
I want your family
To all side up with me from the start
When i ask you for your heart

These flowers ain't for you
They're for your momma
Later on i got something for you too
These flowers ain't for you
They're for you momma
To thank her for havin'
A girl of my sweet dreams
A good lookin' sweet young thing like you
To thank her for havin'
A girl of my sweet dreams
A good lookin' heart stoppin' sweet young thing like you


6.Little Bitty Crack In Her Heart

(shawn camp/jim rushing)

Shattered inside and scattered around
Were the pieces of her broken heart
I gathered up the pieces i found
Put her back together like a busted guitar
But some glues hold and some glues don't
In spite of everything i've tried
Somebody stole my darlin lord
Right before my very eyes

He didn't walk, talk, push his way in
Fly through the window on a gust of hot wind
He didn't sprout wings
And he sure wasn't playing no harp
Low as he was i couldn't see him
Slithering around in the dark
Lord he must have crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart

Copin' with gone and hoping i'm wrong
But i sure see a definite change
There's a look in her eyes that's sayin' goodbye
And her snuggle when i hold her don't feel the same
The way her heart beats for the sneaky thief
You picture him dark and tall
But the feller that stole my darlin' lord
He has to be very small

He didn't walk, talk, push his way in
Fly through the window on a gust of hot wind
He didn't sprout wings
And he sure wasn't playing no harp
Low as he was i couldn't see him
Slitherin' around in the dark
Lord he must of crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart

Low as he was i couldn't see him
Slitherin' around in the dark
Lord he must of crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart
Low as he was i couldn't see him
Slitherin' around in the dark
Lord he must of crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart
Well he must of crawled through
A little bitty crack in her heart


7.Same Place

(dean dillon/buddy cannon/marla cannon)

Each night you show up about a quarter to two
And in my dreams you always come true
And for awhile it's just like old times
But before i know it you say goodbye

But i'll meet you same place, same time
I'll be waitin' at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, i'll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday

I've learned to face and live with the fact
That in real life you're not coming back
Guess i'll never know why you said goodbye
My only consolation is i know that i

Will meet you same place, same time
I'll be waitin' at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, i'll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday
Same place, same time
I'll be waitin' at the front door in the back of my mind
When that old sun goes down, i'll lie in wait
For you to hold me in your arms
And love me like yesterday


8.Chevy Van

(sammy johns)

I gave a girl a ride in my wagon
Now she crawled in and took control
She was tired as her mind was draggin'
And i said get some sleep--we'll get on down the road

Like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my chevy van
And that's all right with me

Her young face was like that of an angel
And her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road son
Better slow this vehicle down 'cause

'cause like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my chevy van
And that's all right with me

I put her out in a town that was so small
You could throw a rock from end to end
A dirt road main street, she walked off in her barefeet
And it's a shame i won't be passin' through again

Like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love me in my chevy van
And that's all right with me

Yeah like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love me in my chevy van
And that's all right with me

All right with me


9.Politics, Religion And Her

(tony martin/byron hill)

Hey ole buddy, how you been
Not much has changed here on my end
No i don't think she's comin' back
We better not get into that

Let's talk about baseball
Talk a little small talk
There's gotta be a good joke
That you've heard
Let's talk about nascars
Old hollywood movie stars
Let's talk about anything
Anything in this world
But politics, religion and her

Politics can start a fight
Religion's hard to know who's right
And one more topic i won't touch
That one's her -- it hurts too much

Let's talk about baseball
Talk a little small talk
There's gotta be a good joke
That you've heard
Let's talk about nascars
Old hollywood movie stars
Let's talk about anything
Anything in this world
But politics, religion and her

Let's talk about nascars
Old hollywood movie stars
Let's talk about anything
Anything in this world
But politics, religion and her
But politics, religion and her


10.Fit To Be Tied Down

(wynn varble/charles victor)

This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch
And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot
And this ain't cards
It's our hearts we're dealing with now
No more games for me girl i'm fit to be tied down

I've lost at love, got some bruises
But the heart that don't give up
Never really loses
Since i met you
It don't make sense to keep on playing around
Anyone can see you've got me
Fit to be tied down

Tie me down, wrap me up in forever
I've found something sweet in surrendering now
Take me off this merry go round
Going round in circles has got me nowhere
But a love like yours is really so rare
And i'm amazed at the treasure i've finally found
I'm on bended knee
'cause i'm fit to be tied down

Tie me down, wrap me up in forever
I've found something sweet in surrendering now
Take me off this merry go round

This ain't hoops, this ain't hopscotch
And this ain't dodge ball in the sandlot
And this ain't cards
It's our hearts we're dealing with now
No more games for me girl i'm fit to be tied down
No more games for me girl i'm fit to be tied


11.Meant To Be

(chris waters/rick bowles)

Well first i missed my plane
So i wound up on your flight
Then we got stuck in dallas-ft. worth
Half the night
And the only vacant seat
You could find at gate twenty-nine
Was one next to mine

Call it fate
Destiny
Call it luck you ended up with me
But some things are meant to be
Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be

You said atlanta was your home
Well i happened to live there too
I'd just broken up with someone and so had you
And when you said for everyone
There is someone they're meant to find
I knew i'd found mine

Call it fate
Destiny
Call it luck you ended up with me
But some things are meant to be
Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be

Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be
Baby some things are meant to be


12.Vidalia

(tim nichols/mark d. sanders)

Ain't nothing so precious as a first born child
What to call their little angel
They wondered for awhile
Your dear mama violet
And your proud daddy dale
I know when they named ya
They surely meant well, but...

Vidalia, vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

I never paid no attention to a girl before
Till the day i saw you standin'
In the sunday school door
One boy sorta snickered when the roll was read
Till you laid the word of god
Up 'side of his head

Vidalia, vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

When i try to get too close
Seems like we've always been almost
Just one step or two away from true love

Well i love the way you walk, i love the way you kiss
I love to get away with you alone like this
If i could mention just one little thing
Vidalia would ya stop livin' up to your name

Vidalia, vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet vadalia
You always gotta make me cry

Vidalia
Girl won't you tell me why
Sweet vadalia
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
You always gotta make me cry
