The Cold Hard Truth.

Lyrics: Acclaimed American country music singer-songwriter and guitarist, the late Jamie O’Hara (1950–2021).
Vocals: American country musician, singer, and songwriter, the late George Jones (1931–2013).

Singer George Jones had a way of taking heartbreak and making it sound like a confession. In 1999, on his late-career album “Cold Hard Truth”, he proved that nobody could still cut straight to the bone quite like “The Possum.” Written by Jamie O’Hara, “The Cold Hard Truth” is country music at its most honest: no polish, no excuses, just the painful moment when love and reality finally meet.

The Cold Hard Truth.

The Cold Hard Truth.

You don’t know who I am,
But I know all about you.
I’ve come to talk to you tonight,
About the things I’ve seen you do.
I’ve come to set the record straight.
I’ve come to shine the light on you.
Let me introduce myself,
I am the cold hard truth.
There is a woman we both know,
I think you know the one I mean.
She gave her heart and soul to you.
You gave her only broken dreams.
You say your not the one to blame,
For all the heartaches she’s been though.
I say you’re nothing but a liar,
And I’m the cold hard truth.
All your life that’s how it’s been,
Lookin’ out for number one,
Takin’ more than you give,
Moving on when you’re done.
With her you could have had it all,
A family and love to last,
If you had any sense at all,
You’d go and beg her to come back.
You think that you’re a real man,
But you’re nothing but a fool,
The way you run away from love,
The way you try to play it cool.
I’m gonna say this just one time,
Time is running out on you,
You best remember me my friend,
I am the cold hard truth.
You best remember me my friend,
I am the cold hard truth.

End.

No One Knows My Name.

Lyrics: American singer-songwriter and musician Marc Scibilia and American songwriter and record producer Nolan Winfield Sipe.
Vocals: American singer Marc Scibilia.

The song featured hereunder sung by Marc Scibilia, is about the people who don’t chase attention, don’t make headlines, and may never get a standing ovation, but who quietly leave the world better than they found it. It reminds us that a meaningful life isn’t always measured by fame or recognition, but by love, humility, faithfulness, and the small acts of goodness that often go unseen. So as you listen, think of the people in your life whose names may not be known by many, but whose impact will never be forgotten.

No One Knows My Name.

No One Knows My Name.

This world is a circus and people love a clown,
So you better entertain ′em if you wanna win the crowd.
There’s no parade or protests for callouses on hands,
Sunday attendance and doin′ what you can.

Why do the best men rest in unmarked graves?
Why do the good ones never find the front page?
I can’t help but thinkin′ now if that′s the case,
I’ll be lucky when I go if no one knows my name.

My grandfather was simple, he gave more than he took.
No better man than Jesus, and He never wrote a book.
The odds are when I go, it probably won’t leave much,
But honey, I loved you so, and I hope that′s enough.

Why do the best men rest in unmarked graves?
Why do the good ones never find the front page?
I can’t help but thinkin′ now if that′s the case,
I’ll be lucky when I go if no one knows my name.

Why do the best men rest in unmarked graves?
Why do the good ones never find the front page?
I can’t help but thinkin′ now if that′s the case,
I’ll be lucky when I go if no one knows my name.
