Love and Luck - Lyrics

Love and Luck

 Written by Marty Stuart and Bob DePiero
Well, my old man had a heart of gold
He had eyes of steel and a real deep soul
He was a quiet man, he never said too much
But when he did, you'd better listen up

I was ready to waltz all around the world
Ready to love every blue eyed girl
My bags were packed and I was ready to leave
He shook my hand and said to me, me, me

I wish you luck and love, love and luck
Life's a treasure, so go dig it up
Be what you are, and that's enough
I wish you luck and love, and love and luck
Luck and love, and love and luck

So here I am out on my own
Ain't much to show for the seeds I've sewn
There's been some broken hearts and some long lost nights
I'm startin' to think I can't do nothing right

Well, I guess you've got to learn as you go along
If you're gonna do right then you can't do wrong
So I looked in the mirror and I said to me
"Daddy was right, here's what you need"

A little luck and love, love and luck
Life's a treasure so go dig it up
Be what you are and that's enough
I wish you luck and love, and love and luck
Luck and love, and love and luck

Kiss Me, I'm Gone

 Written by Marty Stuart and Bob DiPiero
I've got one last chance to hold you
While the fire is good and hot
We've got to make the most of this burning love
'Cause right now's all we've got

So squeeze me a little tighter
I'll be back before too long
Well baby you know I've just gotta go
So kiss me, I'm gone

Honey that spell, that you put on me
Got me walkin', talkin' things that I never dreamed
I won't be worth a thing when I get back home
I done stayed too long
So kiss me, I'm gone

You've got kisses sweet as honey
Got me eating right out of your hand
You sure 'nuff got a line of talk
That a man can understand

All the girls around here been talkin'
Wonderin' just what's going on
As the door slams, I am deep in love
So kiss me, I'm gone

Honey that spell, that you put on me
Got me walkin', talkin' things that I never dreamed
I won't be worth a thing when I get back home
I done stayed too long
So kiss me, I'm gone

Wheels

 Written by Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons
We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got the telephone to say what we can't say
We all got higher and higher every day
So come on wheels and take this boy away

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on wheels, take me home today
Come on wheels, take this boy away

And when I feel my time is almost up
And destiny is in my right hand
I'll turn to him, who made my faith so strong
Come on wheels, make this boy a man

We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
So come on wheels, take me home today
Come on wheels, take this boy away

I Ain't Giving Up On Love

 Written by Marty Stuart and Harlan Howard
It's a long long way to the top of the world of love
We've been climbing, but we didn't climb high enough
You told me that you loved me, but not enough to change your name
We wound up in the ashes, but we sure went down in flames

I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you
Lord I feel a little shattered, been a little battered
My heart's black and blue
Well we turned love every way but loose
Now we're gonna turn it that way too
I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you

It's a long way back when you've gone as far as you can go
The wheels of love are a turning, they're just a turning a little slow
I'm hurting just a little and you're bound to hurt a little too
And it's gonna take a lotta woman to love me like you used to do

I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you
Lord I feel a little shattered, been a little battered
My heart's black and blue
Well we turned love every way but loose
Now we're gonna turn it that way too
I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you

That's What Love's About

 Written by Marty Stuart
When she needs a friend
Then you'd better hold her
If she starts to cry
Then offer her your shoulder
If the world comes crashin' down
And leaves her full of doubt
Take her in your arms
Now that's what love's about

She needs to know you care
She needs to know you're there
If it takes crawling on your knees
To live up to your vows
No matter what it takes
We'll work it out somehow
Treat her like a lady
Now that's what love's about

She let me have her heart
I hope I never break it
She bared to me her soul
I could hardly take it
She gave me all she had

She said she could do without
Till the end of time
Now that's what love's about

She needs to know you're there
If it takes crawling on your knees
To live up to your vows
No matter what it takes
We'll work it out somehow
Treat her like a lady
Now that's what love's about

Marty Stuart Visits The Moon (instrumental)

 Written by Marty Stuart

Oh, What A Silent Night

 Written by Marty Stuart and Harlan Howard
The wind is creepin' across the mountains
The moon is nowhere in sight
Gone is the voice I'm used to hearing
Oh, what a silent night

The telephone's been disconnected
But she wouldn't call me anyway
But even if she did, I wouldn't answer
'Cause there's not one word left to say

She told me, she was disenchanted
She needed those big city lights
Well, I loved her and I told her, her wish was granted
Oh, what a silent night

I sit here, feelin' my heart breaking
I think I felt a teardrop fall
I listen for the sound my heart is making
But it don't make no sound at all

And I wonder just how long I'll miss her
Will my hair be black or white
God, I'd give my soul to kiss her
Oh, what a silent night

She told me, she was disenchanted
She needed those big city lights
Well, I loved her and I told her, her wish was granted
Oh, what a silent night
Oh, what a silent night

Shake Your Hips

 Written by James Moore
I want to tell you about a dance
That's going 'round
Everybody's doing it
From the grownups down
Don't have to move your head
Don't have to move your hands
Don't have to move your lips
Just shake your hips

And do the hip shake baby
Do the hip shake baby
Do the hip shake baby
Shake your hips baby

Now if you don't know it
Don't be afraid
Just listen to me
And do what I say

Don't have to move your head
Don't move your hands
Don't move your lips
Just shake your hips

And do the hip shake baby
Do the hip shake baby
Do the hip shake baby
Shake your hips baby

Now ain't this easy

Well, I met a little girl
In a country town
She said what do you know
There Marty goes
I didn't move my head
I didn't move my hands
I didn't move my lips
She just shook her hips

She did the hip shake baby
Do the hip shake baby
Do the hip shake baby
Shake your hips baby

And ain't this easy

You Can Walk All Over Me

 Written by Marty Stuart and Wayne Perry
Never thought I'd fall this far again
When we met I thought we'd be just friends
Now I'm in love so blind that I can't see
And you can walk all over me

Never thought I'd ever settle down
Hang my hat up in the same old town
Thought I'd always be just wild and free
But you can walk all over me

Take my heart, break my heart
That's all right with me
Take my name, I'm not ashamed
To let the whole world see
If that's how it's gotta be
Then you can walk all over me

Some say love is just a crazy game
Always looking for someone to claim
That's the way I guess it's supposed to be
So you can walk all over me

Take my heart, break my heart
That's all right with me
Take my name, I'm not ashamed
To let the whole world see
If that's how it's gotta be
Then you can walk all over me
If that's how it's gotta be
Then you can walk all over me

That's When You'll Know It's Over

 Written by Butch Carr and Russ Zavitson
When you said it's over, I said it's not for me
When you said to forget you, I said when will that be
When that day comes, well they'll bury me
That's when you'll know it's over
That's when you'll know it's over

When I don't think of you all day every day
When I close my eyes and sleep comes right away
When you're not the first thing on my mind when I wake
That's when you'll know it's over
That's when you'll know it's over

You thought it would never end
When you broke my heart
But baby for me, that was only the start
Of this burning pain and there's no end in sight
So you've got to realize
It won't be over til it's over

When I don't see my past with you everywhere
When I see my future, without you there
When I see you with him and I don't care
That's when you'll know it's over
That's when you'll know it's over

If I Give My Soul

 Written by Billy Joe Shaver
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
Such a foolish food, God ain't known no greater sinner
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand

Had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
Had a steady job, til I started into drinking
Then I started making music traveling with the devil's band

Oh the years flew by, like a might rush of eagles
Our dreams and plans were, all scattered the wind
Well, it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again

If I give my soul, will he clean these clothes I'm wearing
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give me back my dignity

If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shakin'
If I give my soul, will my son love me again
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
If I give my soul to Jesus, will she take me back again
