Recovering Pharisee
Del McCoury's classic
Buddy Greene
Sony/ATV Songs LLC (Tree) (BMI)
I'm a Pharisee, in recovery
With new eyes I can see
A big sinner in me
It's the way of my human heart
To confess other peoples' sins
Reluctant to admit my part
Or the deeper problem within
But thank God he won't let me be
Or remain in my hypocrisy
Yeah sooner or later I'll be on my knees
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
I'm a sinner and a saint
Simultaneously
I'm not what I was
Or what I'm goin' to be
Still I've got that ol' tendency
To be all a wicked man can be
It takes more than knowin' right from wrong
It takes more than singin' gospel songs
It takes the life of The Great I Am
To produce any good in me
He's the vine, I'm the branch
And I'm learnin' to be
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
I need the God of all grace
Each and every day
If I'm to run this race
If I'm to walk in His way
I don't have to be a slave to sin
I don't have to let the devil win
'Cause the Son of God lives in me
And His promise is to set me free
Jesus help my unbelief
So I can follow You faithfully
You're the Shepherd; I'm the sheep
And you're helpin' me be
Honest to God a recovering Pharisee
{From "Del and the Boys CD" Liner}

Boot to the Head
The funniest song ever. In spite of the fact it mentions "people voting Republican" as being worthy of the eponymous "boot to the head".

Ain't No Grave
This is my rendition of the old spiritual "Ain't No Grave Can Hold This Body Down". I only used the traditional lyrics for the second verse and the chorus. I wrote my own lyrics for the first and third verses.
Accompanied on acoustic guitar by Doug "Slide" Jones, and harmonica by John "Shuttie" Shutt. Performed in concert with The Lynn Camp Hollow Boys at St. Matthews Baptist Church, May 18, 2003.
