It’ll All Even Out
You showed me my share
Of heartaches and there
Were times I saw you crying too.
Now we’ve paid or debt
And there’s no need to regret
That we met, we can start over new.
Chorus:
It’ll all even out in the end.
It’ll all balance out
When we’re together again.
Life is just a record of losses and wins
It’ll all even out in the end.
_____
Now dreams are all bright
And all decisions are right
And wishes they might come true…
I been alone and in flight but now
Home is in sight
And I’d like to be alone…with you.
Chorus.......
Yes life is just a record
Of losses and wins
It’ll all even out in the end
Yes it will …It’ll all even out in the end.

My Dear Heart
My Dear Heart, keep on beating
Like a proud and ancient drum.
Hear the echo of my forefathers
Feel the lies where I come from.
Don’t you know it is my duty
To remind you now and then
Chorus:
My Dear Heart don’t fall in love
Don’t fall in love again.
My Dear Heart, don’t fall in love again.
Now this old heart can go to racin’
When the kinfolk pull up into the drive.
Or when a touchdown, by the home team
Brings the stadium crowd back alive.
Or when we watch a sad, sad movie
The kind you’d like to see again.
My Dear Heart don’t fall in love
Don’t fall in love again.
My Dear Heart, don’t fall in love again.
Refrain:
Cause I don’t know if you and I could take it
Even though it’s what you do the best.
Think of all the times you’ve been broken.
It just might be for best if you recess inside my chest.
____
My Dear Heart, keep my rhythm
With your sweet and gentle sound.
Then thump and pound through honest labor
Oh yes I know, it makes you proud.
From time to time, you will remember
All the stations where we’ve been.
My Dear Heart don’t fall in love
Don’t fall in love again.
My Dear Heart, don’t fall in love again.
Repeat Chorus

I'll Be Waylon
There have been times, men walked together
Against the grain, they stood their ground.
Some who would follow, were labeled outlaws
All filled with pride, all glory bound.
One brother falls, along the wayside
Freeing his Spirit, to travel on.
We left behind, pick up the pieces
Raising our voice, we join in song...So now
____
I'll be Waylon.
You be Willie.
We'll sing the songs the way we did back when.
Hearts were young
Our spirit high
Know that we'll meet again in that sweet by and by.
____
Now there are those, who see no limit.
They try to tell us, how we should be.
With vision blind, from their own mission
They wander aimlessly, no longer free.
We choose up sides, we band together
Cops and robbers, truth and lies.
Good versus evil, you be the judge. Beware
What goes around, comes back 'round by and by...'til then...
____
...I'll be Waylon.
You be Willie.
We'll tell it like it is, won't tell no lie.
Live life fully,
Live life freely,
Know that we'll meet again in that sweet by and by.
____
At times we find, we walk in darkness
We cry in fear, then see the light.
We pray Our Father, wherefore Thou art now
Forgive our sin, give lasting life.
When doors of life, shall close around me
We leave our Love, let It shine on.
Love shine in truth. Love shine in freedom.
Love shine in peace. Love lead us home...'til then...

Love Me Like You Did Yesterday
Lately I’ve had some time and done some thinkin’
And after all I’m still in love with you.
And if for every rhyme there truly is a reason
I’m hopin’ now you feel the way I do.
REFRAIN
No, I’m not asking you to promise me forever.
But if there’s still a beat of love left for today
You don’t have to love me like there’s no tomorrow
If you’ll just Love Me Like You Did Yesterday.
It still takes two if you want to dance the tango.
There are some things we just can’t do alone.
There’s no one can dance with me the way you do,
But if you want me to just say so and I’ll be gone.
REFRAIN
No I’m not asking you to promise me forever.
But if there’s still a beat of love left for today
You don’t have to love me like there’s no tomorrow
If you’ll just Love Me Like You Did Yesterday.
You don’t have to love me like there’s no tomorrow
If you’ll just love me like you did...
Please love me like you did...
If you’ll just Love Me Like You Did Yesterday.

Mississippi Riverboat Song
You can ride that river down to New Orleans
You can run that paddle-wheeler 'til it's plum outa steam
If you're tied up in the city or just driftin' afar
She's gonna get you wherever you are.
____
She's a lady but she's been around
She's been sent up the river, she's been run out of town,
But she keeps on rollin'
For her there aint no slowin' down.
I might be better if I never had known
All the pleasure she decided I should have for my own.
It was love at first sight and
At night I hear those foghorns blow.
And she just glides along
She sings a Mississippi Riverboat Song
When she leaves that light upon the shore,
Waves goodbye
There's no one knows her like I know her.
You can ride that river down to New Orleans
You can run that paddle wheeler 'til it's plum outa steam
If your tied up in the city or just driftin' afar
She's gonna get you wherever you are.
_____
There was a gambler thought he knew how to handle her
But I knew she was no easy mark
And when he went overboard
She left him drownin' in his tears in the dark.
So I took it kinda easy and slow
And she would carry me to any place I wanted to go
With those banjos playin'
I can hear her sayin', come on.
And she just glides along
She sings a Mississippi River Boat Song
When she leaves that light upon the shore,
Waves goodbye, aah…
There's no one knows her like I know her.
You can ride that river down to New Orleans
You can run that paddle wheeler 'til it's plum outa steam
If your tied up in the city or just driftin' afar
She's gonna get you wherever you are.

Hold Me When it Rains

Hold Me When It Rains
There was a flash of light
Then a mighty roar
That echoed through the hills.
The kind of haunting feeling
I remember still.
As sure as the cold winds blow
And the rivers flow
We’re bound to feel some pain.
I’ll shield you from the thunder
If you’ll hold me when it rains.
CHORUS
The whisper of the raindrops
Can bring flood upon the plain.
And the long hot days of summer
Leave us crying for the rain.
It’s just the rainbow, not the end
That we should hope to gain.
I’ll shield you from the thunder
If you’ll hold me when it rains.
Voices speak in the wind
And call upon my ear.
“If you believe in what you know
Ye shall have no fear.”
The warm red hues of the sunset
Serve to ease us of our pain.
I’ll shield you from the thunder
If you’ll hold me when it rains.
CHORUS...
The promise of tomorrow
Is what we have to gain. © 1996
I’ll shield you from the thunder Doc Mason
If you’ll hold me when it rains.

Don’t Get Behind
Are you a workaho ic with your blackberry by your side
Your laptop in your lap, it’s hard to keep you satisfied.
It’s not too late to make it right but the first thing you must do,
Buddy don’t get behind on your I Love Yous.
Hey don’t get behind on your I Love Yous,
The kisses and the hugs, and the coochy, coochy coos.
If you see a stranger on the street could you say how do you do?
Buddy don’t get behind on your I Love Yous.
If you can’t pay your cable bill, consider it a gift,
It’s time to say goodbye to things you so aint gonna miss.
But there is one obligation you can’t let get overdue,
Buddy don’t get behind on your I Love Yous
Hey don’t get behind on your I Love Yous,
The kisses and the hugs, and the coochy, coochy coos.
If you /F/ see a stranger on the street could you say how do you do?
Buddy don’t get behind on your I Love Yous.
Your 401-K shrunk, life savings shriveling away
Just like all your extremities when you jumped into the lake.
Pursuant to a party dare on a chilly winter’s day
But don’t worry all will rise again no need to be afraid.
Just don’t get behind on your I Love Yous,
The kisses and the hugs, and the coochy, coochy coos.
If you see a stranger on the street could you say how do you do?
Buddy don’t get behind on your I Love Yous.
Hey don’t get behind on your I Love Yous,
The kisses and the hugs, and the coochy, coochy coos.
If you see a stranger on the street could you say how do you do?

EVERY TIME I FALL IN LOVE
Well I don’t think I can say that I remember
A moment that felt quite the same as when,
I held your hand as we danced in the moonlight
And every time I fall in love again.
____
All those Texas stars came out to see us.
My world has been a brighter place since then.
Whenever I reflect upon that moment
Every time I fall in love again.
____
Chorus:
So C'est la vie, say on some moonlit night
Who knows, no one can tell
Romantic notions, dreams and schemes
May ring the wedding bells.
And now the bride and groom will share their love with others
And you can tap the bride out for a dance.
Likewise the groom will share this happy moment
But it will cost you money in advance.
___
And now the bride will slip the dollar in her bosom
The groom will stuff the dollars in his pants.
You have to give the bride or groom a dollar
If you want to take part in this dance
___
___
Aaah It makes me feel so good inside to look out
And see those dancers promenade and spin.
When I do my thoughts go back to you dear
And Every Time I Fall in Love Again.

Doc Mason Fredericksburg, Texas
I was a 20 years old pre-med student when I was given a Gibson Guitar for Christmas in 1970. I took to it. Music had long been a part of my life. I started whistling when I was 2 years old, and called it my horn. I cut my teeth on Hank Williams… Summer of 1972, I met a Blues Guitar playing sharecropper named, Mance Lipscomb, who advised me to, “Be the best at what you do.” I took that to heart. ... more
