She won't let me help her tie her shoes "No, Daddy, I can do it myself" When she don't get her way She'll cross her arms and hold her breath She's a handful, she's a mess Diggin' in the dirt in her princess dress Goes from tiny tornado to sleepin' on my chest God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through Give him patience and kindness And a heart that's full of her And the sense to know just what she's worth 'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love I hope his daddy's teachin' him How to shake my hand and look me in the eye And takin' him fishin' and bustin' his butt When he ain't actin' right I hope he's in every prayer his mama prays And learns to work for every dollar he gets And has a sense of humor, gonna need it for a girl like this God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through Give him patience and kindness And a heart that's full of her And the sense to know just what she's worth 'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through There ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love Oh, God bless the boy she decides to love

The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip in the woods With your bros that you've known since second grade and you May encounter dragons and ruffians and be Called upon to employ your testosterone In a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV And even if you are victorious You may receive many cuts and bruises and scrapes and you will Require band-aids and antiseptic ointments And tender love and kisses on your stab wounds And when you come home she will be there waiting For you with a fire in her eyes And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth And that's why you Thank God for girls Holla Jesu Christe From Tennessee to LA Thank God for girls On your reckoning day You better bow down and pray She's so big, she's so strong She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls I'm so glad I got a girl to think of Even though she isn't mine I think about her all the day and all the night, it's a 'Nuff to know that she's a-live, she says I Give her sweaty palms, she almost had a heart attack The truth is that I'm just as scared, I don't know how to act I wish that I could get to know her better, but Meeting up in real life would cause illusion to shatter, oh I I carved her name into all the trees I sang a song down on one knee Looking at the underwear page in the Sears catalog like when I was 14 I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around I'm like an Indian fakir tryin' to meditate On a bed of nails with my pants pulled down Thank God for girls Holla Jesu Christe From Tennessee to LA Thank God for girls On your reckoning day You better bow down and pray She's so big, she's so strong She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls God took a rib from Adam Ground it up in a centrifuge machine Mixed it with cardamom and cloves Microwaved it on the "Popcorn" setting while Adam was like (woo hoo) "that really hurts" Goin' off into the tundra, so pissed at God And he started lightin' mighty forest fires stealin' osprey eggs Messing with the bees who would try to pollinate the echinacea Until God said "I'm a smite you with loneliness and break your heart in two" And Adam wept and wailed, tearing out his hair Falling on his knees, looked to the sky and said "Thank God"

Well, my daddy left home when I was three And he didn't leave much to ma and me Just this old guitar and a empty bottle of booze Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left, he went and named me Sue Well, he must've thought that it was quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a lots of folks Seems I had to fight my whole life through Some gal would giggle and I'd get red And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head I'll tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean My fist got hard and my wits got keen Roamed from town to town to hide my shame But I made me a vow to the moon and stars I'd search the honkytonks and bars And kill that man that give me that awful name Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just hit town and my throat was dry I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew At an old saloon on a street of mud There at a table, dealin' stud Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye He was big and bent and gray and old And I looked at him, and my blood ran cold And I said, "My name is Sue! How do you do? Now you gonna die!" Yeah, that's what I told him! Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes And he went down, but to my surprise Come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kickin' and a-gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer I tell ya, I've fought tougher men But I really can't remember when He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss And he went for his gun and I pulled mine first He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile And he said, "Son This world is rough And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along So I give you that name and I said goodbye I knew you'd have to get tough or die And it's that name that helped to make you strong" Yeah, he said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do But you oughtta thank me, before I die For the gravel in your guts and the spit in the eye 'Cause I'm the - that named you Sue" Yeah, what could I do? What could I do? I got all choked up and I threw down my gun Called him my pa, and he called me his son And I come away with a different point of view And I think about him, now and then Every time I try and every time I win And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name! "All right, thank you very much Just before I ask the Statler Brothers to come back out, we'd like to ask the Carter Family and Carl to help us out on a fine scripture. Look, we got a lot of requests to do 'Peace in the Valley'."
