Love’s A 50/50 Proposition
Written by: John “Pap” McCollum, William Douglas If you’re thinkin’ she ain’t treatin’ you right You’re a candidate for some free advice There’s more to lovin’ than the huggin’ and the kissin’ Love’s a 50/50 proposition It’s 50/50 on this 50/50 on that Then split it down the middle Divide it in half All it takes is two people Who will take the position Love’s a 50/50 proposition The biggest problems are the ones that are little Love gets outta tune just like an old fidde When this start happenin’ it’s time to listen Love’s a 50/50 proposition Repeat Chorus You’ll have the situation well in hand The day you finally learn to understand Repeat Chorus |

You Complete Me
Written by: D.W.Mathias, John “Pap” McCollum, J. Gary Smith Like a jigsaw puzzle missing one piece A four wheel drive with no front seats An angel whose lost her wings Like a blacktop road with no white line Now everything is turning out fine You’ve given me a brand new life You complete me With every breath I take The good lord sent you to me And he don’t make mistakes I hope I’ve made you see You mean the world to me You complete me Like a U.S. flag with 49 stars A hundred meter dash that never starts Or a last name that makes us who we are Like a perfect chain with no main link A wise old man who just can’t think Or a hot guitar with a broken string Repeat Chorus x2 |
You Complete Me

Heaven Sent Me You
Written by: John “Pap” McCollum, Len Doolin I’ve never seen blue eyes Filled with so much love I never thought I’d find What I’ve found in your touch Someone up there must like me ‘Cause I’m lookin’ at the proof There’s no doubt about it Heaven sent me you Heaven sent me you To make my life complete An angel from above To watch over me What makes it even better Is you feel the same way too There’s no doubt about it Heaven sent me you Every moment that we share Will live forever in my mind The memories that we make Are sure to outlast time I know when I hold you close I’m holding love that’s true There’s no doubt about it Repeat Chorus No, there’s no doubt about it Heaven sent me you |

Hurt A Little
Written by: Lynn Hutton, John Henderson It was my sixth birthday I said daddy, I wanna take These training wheels off of my bike Big crash, Oak tree Peroxide for my skinned up knee Daddy said, grab my hand and hold on tight It’s gonna hurt a little Sting a little, burn a little Bleed a little A little scratch, a little lesson learned But you’ll grow a little Know a little more than you did Before it gets better it’ll be a little worse It’s gonna hurt a little Now I’ve got a little man I’m his biggest fan That’s him standing at the plate Fastball, strike three He won’t hardly look at me But I’ll tell him as I wipe the teardrop from his face It’s gonna hurt a little Sting a little, burn a little Bleed a little It’s just a little lesson learned But you’ll grow a little Know a little more than you did Before it gets better it’ll be a little worse It’s gonna hurt a little I told his mother that I’d have him there by eight She let him stay with me last night As we walk up the steps I dread knockin’ on her door I know when he goes inside I’m gonna hurt a little Sting a little, burn a little Bleed a little It’s just another lesson learned I’m gonna grow a little Know a little more than I did Before it gets better it’ll be a little worse I’m gonna be alright But right now it’s gonna Hurt a little Hurt a little |

I Just Want To Be Me
Written by: Jason Sellers, Austin Cunningham Daddy always told me Momma used to scold me Better put that guitar down You’ll be lackin’ knowledge Unless you stay in college And outta those bars downtown Well, I tried Lord knows I tried But I could never do it Seems I always blew it Walkin’ someone else’s line I was late when they were early Straight when they were curly Water when they wanted wine Is it a sin To not quite fit in I just want to be me Wild and kinda crazy A little bit against the grain I want to be free Free to paint the picture The one that only I can paint But, I refuse to be what someone else Thinks I should be I just want to be me Ain’t no rule that’s written Says I can’t go fishin’ Spend the week just me and her Long as we got money To get us through the Sunday Monday I’ll be back at work But I won’t die Just to make a dime Repeat Chorus Is it a sin To not quite fit in Repeat Chorus |

Second Chances
Written by: Lynn Hutton, Richard “Spady” Brannan His priorities changed When he found out that day He cried, said why’s this happenin’ to me? Five years later he goin’ strong He’s proved all the doctor’s wrong There’s always help for those who believe A little faith, a little hope Prayers get answered Little miracles become second chances We may travel different roads But the fact is we are never alone The future is not written in stone Thank god for second chances She miscarried again He held her hand tried to pretend But his worst fears in tears said it all Twelve months later to the day They’re both starin’ at a brand new face Good things come to those who hold on Repeat Chorus Right now you feel like giving up But before you turn your back on love Remember love will always find a way Repeat Chorus Thank god for second chances |

Written by: John “Pap” McCollum, James Blackmon, Joy Swinea The operator said to me This number has been changed So I drove by your old address And the results were just the same Had a talk a long talk with your neighbors They all say you’re not around But I’ll find you if I have to turn Atlanta upside down I’ll look everywhere we use to go And I’ll retrace every step I won’t stop until you know I didn’t mean a word I said I’ll just keep on looking ‘Til the love I lost is found And I’ll find you if I have to turn Atlanta upside down I’ve walked this town from end to end Never thought I’d go this far I’m drivin’ myself crazy Wonderin’ where you are I should have said I’m sorry God knows I’m sorry now And I’ll find you if I have to turn Atlanta upside down Repeat Chorus Yes, I’ll find you if I have to turn Atlanta upside down |

Written by: John “Pap” McCollum, J. Gary Smith I’ve got somethin’ on my mind That I can’t get off Day and night I’m wonderin’ If you love me or not ‘Cause the way that you’ve been actin’ To say the least, is strange One way or the other I wish you’d come right out and say Do you don’t or do you do Honey, lay it on the line ‘Cause you’re drivin’ me crazy One thought at a time Me thinkin’ that you don’t care Doesn’t make it true Put me out of my misery Do you don’t or do you do I hope that I’m mistaken But I’ve got to know Before this day is over Please tell me yes or no Have your feelings for me changed If so, don’t hold it back Honey, I’m a big boy Tell me the truth Don’t cut no slack Repeat Chorus Me thinkin’ that you don’t care Doesn’t make it true Put me out of my misery Do you don’t or do you do |

Written by: John “Pap” McCollum, Dak Alley, Melba Montgomery How am I doin? I thought you’d never ask The wound wasn’t fatal But it didn’t heal fast The rise and fall of my chest goes to prove There’s a heart inside that can live without you I found a new love In an old friend You broke my heart And she helped it mend The world you stopped turning Is spinning again I found a new love In an old friend No, you don’t know her She’s just someone I knew Part of my past That I gave up for you I let her down but she never gave up I never knew she loved me that much Repeat Chorus I found a new love In an old friend |

Garden Of Stone
Written by: D.W. Mathias, John “Pap” McCollum Every day he opens his eyes To a world of yesterday’s And the hard facts of life A middle aged father of two He’s never wanted to find someone new Now its Sunday, it’s raining And the whole worlds asleep But he’s on his way to a special date He keeps once a week In a garden of stone Tracing her name on a polished rock To him she’s not gone And he’s reliving memories That keep hangin’ on Warm tears fill his eyes When the cold wind blows In a garden of stone Friends call to ask if he’s alright It’s always the same thing I’m doin’ just fine He never reveals what’s on his mind The days run together And he’s waitin’ on time Stumbin’ through Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday too But when Thursday, Friday, and Saturday’s through Repeat Chorus It’s as if he can smell her sweet perfume On a rainy day when the carnations bloom In a garden of stone |
