Now, friends listen well, let me tell you a story
I remember just like yesterday
Of a footloose young lad who ran off with the circus
Much to his mama's dismay
He was cleaning up after the elephants when
This high-flying trapeze girl smiled down
In search of a handsome companion because
She had just broken up with a clown
Now the with one graceful aerial flip he was smitten
With her and her little tutu
Standing there love struck, why he almost stumbled
Into the elephants doing their tricks
And the ringmaster tipped his top hat and said
Son, bid adieu to your heart
And his words rang true right there under the bleachers
Soon after that big top went dark
Now, the old bearded lady, she whispered "be careful"
On the train to the very next town
And the handful of midgets who ride unicycles
Peddled by with one smile and four frowns
So he had a vague sense of uneasiness when
His new sweetheart opened the door
And he knew when he saw the clown standing behind her
In front of her, there stood one more
Now, I can't say for sure if it was Barnum or Bailey
To whom I handed the note
But a tall skinny feller standing on stilts
First read these words that I wrote
It said I promise to never again give my heart
To some high-flying trapeze girl
Goodbye cruel circus
I'm off to join the world
How Do You Get That Lonely Lyrics – Blaine Larsen
It was just another story printed on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on his bedroom floor
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
Did no one see the writing on the wall?
I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand...
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows
It was just another story printed on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score...
Underneath the Tiger's football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on his bedroom floor
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
Did no one see the writing on the wall?
I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand...
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows
It was just another story printed on the second page

Away In A Manger lyrics - blaine larsen
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is neigh.
Believe me, Lord Jesus, I asked thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all of the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with thee there...
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is neigh.
Believe me, Lord Jesus, I asked thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all of the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with thee there...
Chillin' Lyrics – Blaine Larsen
Ain't going to work, ain't going to class
going bare feet and kickin' back
gonna pacify my lazy bones ambition...Chillin'
I'm talking, jet skis and inner tubes
pretty girls with big ol' .. blue eyes and wet t-shirts on the river
[Chorus]
Just chillin'
Beatin' the heat of living
Drink to drink
Soaking up every minute
Got my thinking cap hanging on a scarecrow
Got my I don't care ducks in a row
and ain't no crime to kill a little time
Chillin'
Good ol' boys sitting on a rock
passing a jar and an old flat top singin' Seger, Cash, Bo Diddley and Bob Dylan
Just a chillin'
Moon comes up and the sun goes down under candy fort (?) bridge they're hangin' out
bunch of happy go luckies skinny dippin'
[Chorus]
Yeah we're chillin'
Beatin' the heat of living
Drink to drink
Soaking up every minute
Got my thinking cap hanging on a scarecrow
Got my I don't care ducks in a row
and ain't no crime to kill a little time
Just Chillin'
Yeah we're chillin'
We're beatin' the heat of living
Drink to drink
Soaking up every single minute
Got my thinking cap hanging on a scarecrow
Got my I don't care ducks in a row
and ain't no crime to kill a little time
Chillin'
Yeah we're chillin'
going bare feet and kickin' back
gonna pacify my lazy bones ambition...Chillin'
I'm talking, jet skis and inner tubes
pretty girls with big ol' .. blue eyes and wet t-shirts on the river
[Chorus]
Just chillin'
Beatin' the heat of living
Drink to drink
Soaking up every minute
Got my thinking cap hanging on a scarecrow
Got my I don't care ducks in a row
and ain't no crime to kill a little time
Chillin'
Good ol' boys sitting on a rock
passing a jar and an old flat top singin' Seger, Cash, Bo Diddley and Bob Dylan
Just a chillin'
Moon comes up and the sun goes down under candy fort (?) bridge they're hangin' out
bunch of happy go luckies skinny dippin'
[Chorus]
Yeah we're chillin'
Beatin' the heat of living
Drink to drink
Soaking up every minute
Got my thinking cap hanging on a scarecrow
Got my I don't care ducks in a row
and ain't no crime to kill a little time
Just Chillin'
Yeah we're chillin'
We're beatin' the heat of living
Drink to drink
Soaking up every single minute
Got my thinking cap hanging on a scarecrow
Got my I don't care ducks in a row
and ain't no crime to kill a little time
Chillin'
Yeah we're chillin'
It Did lyrics - blaine larsen
a single red rose and a table for two
a nice chardonnay and an ocean view
ships comin in stars comin’ out
we sat and we talked ‘til the place closed down
then we took a long walk down on the beach
her in that white dress in her bare feet
we stopped and we watched the lighthouse light
i pulled her close and i held on tight
and i said
to myself
it doesn’t get better than this
no it doesn’t get better than this
and it did
it did
oh it did
fast forward to that next spring
we were lookin for a preacher pickin out rings
family comin in and friends comin out
to that little white church on the outskirts of town
me and that tux fightin butterflies
tears of joy in my mama’s eyes
her daddy walkin her down that aisle
i lifted that veil and i saw that smile
and i said
to her
it doesn’t get better than this
no it doesn’t get better than this
and it did
it did
oh it did
just when i start thinkin it’s as good as it can get
this crazy life does somethin
just to let me know
i haven’t seen anything yet
nine months later nearly to the day
there we were flyin down the interstate
car weavin in and car weavin out
through traffic runnin every red light in town
delivery room and the doctor comes in
i’m right beside her she’s squeezin my hand
one more push and a baby cries
a sweet little angel with her mama’s eyes
and i said
to my girls
it doesn’t get better than this
no it doesn’t get better than this
and it did
it did
oh it did
yes it did
a single red rose and a table for two
a nice chardonnay and an ocean view
a nice chardonnay and an ocean view
ships comin in stars comin’ out
we sat and we talked ‘til the place closed down
then we took a long walk down on the beach
her in that white dress in her bare feet
we stopped and we watched the lighthouse light
i pulled her close and i held on tight
and i said
to myself
it doesn’t get better than this
no it doesn’t get better than this
and it did
it did
oh it did
fast forward to that next spring
