Win Draw or Lose Words and Music by Lloyd Tosoff
Intro
D G C D A D
Verse
Lord in my time
I’ve have seen a thing or two
But lookin’ back now
There ain’t thing that I’d undo
There were mistakes,
A few regrets
And some bad news
But I’m still in the game
Win, draw or lose
Nobody said it would be easy
The dealer’s bound to take his due
Roll with the dice
Let’s ‘em fall
Keep your back against the wall
Play your cards
Lay ‘em down
Win, draw or lose.
Gonna find me a place
Where I can rest my weary soul
From too many miles
On a nowhere road
I’ve seen every
Sleight of hand
I damn sure know the moves
And how to play the game
Win, draw or lose
When my days are done
Don’t bury my bones
Scatter my ashes
Don’t carve my name in stone
It’s not you play this game
It’s how you bend the rules
When you cash your chips and fold
Win, draw or lose

5.) Crazy Over You 3:25 Written by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN
You push and you pull in too many directions
Drive a man wild just to win your affection
Can’t make no sense out of anything you do
All I know is I’m crazy over you
Crazy over you
Head over heels
I’m a lovesick fool
Stuck on you
Like Elmer’s glue
Crazy over you
First you say yes then you turn on a dime
Keep my heart chained up in a tangled state of mind
Lord if could I would bid you adieu
But I can’t let go cause I’m crazy over you
Made up my mind I can’t take anymore
With my feet on the ground and my eye on the door
I’ll muster the strength put on my walkin’ shoes
Till you look at me with those pretty eyes so blue
Then I fall to pieces going crazy over you

2.) Alabama Redneck 3:25 Written by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN
29 miles from the Tennessee line
In the northbound lane on the Alabama side
Been a long haul but I’m gonna make it home tonight
I got Eric Church playing on the radio
Let’s see how fast this old rig can go
I can see the Highland Rim in the fading light
Alabama Redneck
Pulling on a flat deck
Keeping 24 wheels between these center lane lines
Closing up the backdoor with a big 10-4
Alabama Redneck
Put me in her arms tonight
Brake check ahead so I’m pulling in
Gotta see my good lovin’ baby again
Seen every kind of truck stop come on but I don’t pay no mind
Cause when a man loves a woman like his loves his truck
He’d have to be a damn fool to push his luck
Everybody knows her name
From Shakeytown to Bangor, Maine
It’s painted on the door

Allison Written by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN
Verse 1
She sat on the edge of that big feather bed
As I hung in pain on every word that she said
My mind went blank as my broken heart sank like a stone
Verse 2
I needed her like the sun needs the moon
She led me astray down a sure road to ruin
She barely gave what I hopelessly craved like a fool
Chorus
Allison
Look what you’ve done
You live for the chase
Like a fox on the run
You squander love then you toss it aside just for fun
Like a shot through the heart with a gun
Allison
Verse 3
Said that she loved me but she dragged me through hell
And there’s no escape when you’re under that spell
When you want to see what you want love to be
Bridge
I can’t believe how she lied and deceived
Twisted the truth as she played make believe
I should have seen from the start
I’d her next broken heart
Verse 4
She sat on the edge of that big feather bed
With a black dress and heels and her lips painted red
In a blink of an eye and one final goodbye she was gone
Like the wind she was gone

3.) San Antone 3:25 Written by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN
Standing by the highway rain coming down must have chilled him to the bone
He was headed my way Westward bound and I was on my way back home
I pulled off on the shoulder said brother hop on in
He tossed me his old guitar before he said with a grin
If you can take me as far as San Antone
I’d be much obliged cause that's where I call home
San Antone
San Antone
Sweetest place I've ever known
Got a girl waiting for me name of Rose if she's still alone
I'm gonna marry my Rose in San Antone
He looked tired and wet and hungry and I could tell by the shape that he was in
He was down to his last dollar maybe less so I asked him where he he’d been
He said I been chasin’ wasted dreams on a fickle wind that blows
When I should have stayed in Texas and married little Rose
I could see by stickers on his guitar case he been taken by that Nashville music scene
Writin’ songs and makin’ music drinkin’ hard and livin’lean
I could o’ dropped him off in Dallas but I said what the hell
I turned south to Austin San Antone and his Texas belle
He looked at me from the corner of his eye with a smiling face
Like I’d been in his shoes in another time and place

4.) If Your Aim is True 3:25 Written by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN
Pulled into a hotel bar on the road to Saskatoon
It was a hot July ‘neath a Prairie sky full o’ stars and a near full moon
A bent old man by the ceiling fan sipping on a glass o’ brew
Looked me up and down with a wrinkled frown waiting on a word or two
He said his name was Duncan lived up the road a mile or two
Made his living on a tractor since the spring of 52
He didn’t ask where I was headed or where I was coming from
As I drank my beer he bent my ear ‘n said mind my words now son
Keep your head down
And watch where your footsteps fall
Keep your mouth shut
And your eye on the ball
Mind your business
And trouble won’t find you
You’ll never go far wrong
If your aim is true
He said life is a long hard road with all its twists and turns
Between the women and the whiskey and the bridges that I’ve burned
Lord knows I learned and thing or two ‘bout life and love and such
Though I’ll reap my fate at Heaven’s gate I don’t believe in luck
I think about old Duncan and the words he had to say
His simple Bobcat wisdom still lives in me today
I’m sure he’s up in Heaven standing on that hallowed ground
Tellin’ folks how beat the devil in exchange for another round

One Shot at a Time Words and Music by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN/BMI
Verse 1
By the time he was 29 he had it made
With a song on the charts
It was stone cold and hit bound
‘bout a honky tonk heart
Said he’d never make 40
Livin' hard and carryin' on
We all said boy you better slow down
He was one goodbye from gone
Verse 2
They still play ‘im on the radio
Every now and then
Sang like a homesick angel
Raisin’ hell was heaven sent
We all tried to warn him
But he wouldn’t go dry
He just laughed and poured another
Said no one here gets out alive
Chorus
You can’t blame Jack Daniels
When you drink away your life
There were lights on his name
Fortune and fame
And a beautiful wife
But that old pride of Lynchburg is like a Colt 45
Cause whiskey can kill you
One shot at a time
Verse 3
It was his last date down in Mobile
But he never made the stage
The MC introduced him
But he didn’t hear the page
They found him in the Green Room
On the floor white as a ghost
With his right hand on the bottle
He never made his final show

Love Never Dies (Chris’ Song) 3:25 Written by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN
Shadows fall on sacred ground
Heaven’s light is shining down
Through your darkest hour to ease the pain
A gentle voice calls out to you
Keeps your broken faith renewed
Though you’ll never pass that way again
Heaven only knows how much you loved him
Heaven only knows the tears you’ll cry
Heaven only knows the empty feeling in your heart will heal in time
Heaven only knows
Love never dies
A brother’s son has come and gone
Now all that’s left is an angel’s song
To break the silent aching emptiness
Brothers we are one and all
Together on a spinning ball
Under one God nevertheless
Now as he walks into the light
Surrounded by an angel’s flight
He sheds his earthy cloak to say goodbye
A tear falls from the evening star
The time has come for us to part
Until forever finds us once again
Heaven only knows how much we loved him
Heaven only knows the tears we’ll cry
Heaven only knows the empty feeling in our hearts will heal in time
Heaven only knows
Love never dies
