Verse 1:
         
	Last night i dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer

	I set it on the table and i talked to it 'til four
                                                
	I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of bone
                                              
	Yeah i've been settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Verse 2:
         
	Then i went to the jewelery and i found our wedding rings

	I've put mine on my finger and i gave yours a flame
                                              
	I crossed this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
                                                
	Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Chorus:
         
	I'm diggin' up bones,i'm diggin' up bones
                                           
	Exhuming things that better left alone
                                   
	I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
                                                
	Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Verse 3:
         
	And i went to the closet and i found some things in there

	Like that pretty neglige that i bought you to wear
                                               
	And i recall how good you looked each time you had it on
                                                
	Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Chorus.
                                   
	I'm resurrecting memories of love that's dead and gone
                                                
	Yeah tonight i'm settlin' alone diggin' up bones


Chorus (til end).

Artist: Randy Travis

          
There's a dirty piece of cardboard
     
that reads Montgomery Ward
                        
taped across the window of my old Ford.
                                  
A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings,
                                                      
I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing


I'd better change my wandrin ways,

I know I've seen my better days,
                                  
always gettin' high when I get low.
        
Well, I left my soul out in the rain,

Lord, what a price I've had to pay.
                                 
The storms of life are washin' me away.


An old mail pouch, tobacco sign
fadin' on the barn,
bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm/
When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road.
Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around,
but that was years ago.

I'd better change my wandrin ways,
I know I've seen my better days,
always gettin' high when I get low.
Well, I left my soul out in the rain,
Lord, what a price I've had to pay.
The storms of life are washin' me away.
Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away.

******************* SMOKIN' THE HIVE *******************

written by Byron Hill and J. Remington Wilde

performed by Randy Travis and Clint Eastwood.

Verse 1: (Randy Travis)
         
	I was ten years old on my grandpa's farm when it happened
                                                        
	After all these years i can still hear grandpa laughin'
              
	As he applied that barnyard remedy
            
	He passed his wisdom down to me
                                                         
	You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive


Verse 2: (Clint Eastwood)
         
	I remember my first crush was on the preacher's daughter
                                                                       
	We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night when he caught her
                   
	We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten
                  
	When the good Lord taught me that lesson again
                                                         
	You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive


Chorus: (Randy Travis,Clint Eastwood)
                                                          
	You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber
                                                         
	And you don't drink no you don't drink when you drive
                                                           
	It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger
                                                         
	You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive


Verse 3: (Randy Travis,Clint Eastwood)
         
	She rolled into town with rodeo,she was a beauty
                                                       
	And that cowboy saw you wink at her,she was a cutie
                      
	The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run
                
	He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun
                                                         
	You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive


Chorus.

                                                            
	No,you don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
        /
	You're gonna get stung boy
