Someboyd told you that my broken heart started mending
I'm getting by, but the truth is that I'm still standing
Knee deep in yesterday's rain
Well I ain't high and dry, I ain't got a big boat
But I got a new umbrella and an overcoat
And if the good Lord's willing and the sun breaks through
That'll be one more day that I made it without you
That I made it without you
I don't care what the future holds
And don't care about what you've been told
Don't want to hear what the weatherman has to say
'Cause I'm standing knee deep in yesterday's rain
All those fools go rushing, they don't hesitate
And the lonely go looking where the losers wait
And I'm thinking, somewhere in the middle there's a love that's true
But I ain't found one yet, and I ain't got you
No I ain't got you baby
I don't care what the future holds
And don't care about what you've been told
Don't want to hear what the weatherman has to say
'Cause I'm standing knee deep in yesterday's rain
Yesterday's rain, yesterday's rain, yesterday's rain
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
You were sitting on your bar stool
talking to some fool who
didn't have a clue.
I guess he couldn't see
you were looking right at me
cause I was looking at you too.
Then it's "do you wanna dance",
"have we ever met"
You said "hold your horses boy
I ain't that easy to get"
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
She said "I only take it slow.
By now you oughta know
that I ain't digging this.
If we can start as friends
the weekend just might end
with a little kiss."
She said "I'm a lady looking
for a man in my life
who will make a good husband.
I'll make a good wife."
Heeheeeasy now.
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
See, I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
Yeah, I'm just talkin bout a little bit later tonight.
I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' red hen, up all night wonderin' where I been
I'd fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed outloud, I guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Now I'm paintin' the house and I'm mendin' the fence
I guess I gone out and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I could've died drinkin', now I'm killing myself
Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Now I'm fixin' the sink and I'm mowin' the grass
You made me a list and I'm bustin' my...wheel
All broke down, tail's been (or talespin??) draggin'
It's a tough ol' life up here on the wagon
Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Yeah, I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
You couldn't tell by lookin' we'd ever met before
I hardly ever see her, she don't come by any more
With all the time we spent together, I thought by now she would've called
It's amlost like she never even know my name at all
But the first night I met her, we were just strangers
Small talk conversation, we became friends
One morning we woke up and we'd turned into lovers
At the end of the line now, we're strangers again
This used to be our hangout, now I guess it's only mine
And all our friends still come here, they ask about her all the time
I say I spoke to her just yesterday, no wait, two days ago
I guess that girl will never change, but I'm the only one that knows
That the first night I met her, we were just strangers
Small talk conversation, we became friends
One morning we woke up and we'd turned into lovers
At the end of the line now, we're strangers again
But the first night I met her, we were just strangers
Small talk conversation, we became friends
One morning we woke up an we'd turned into lovers
At the end of the line now, we're strangers again
This world's a jungle there ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey
Hold your woman any way you can
Cause there ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves
That woman you've been loving, she was another man's
You stole her heart while his nack was turned
On every corner there's an outlaw waiting
Who wants to teach you what you never learned
Cause there ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves
This world's a jungle there ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
So don't go crying when her love goes flying to
The thieving arms of another man
There ain't no right or wrong, nothing's carved in stone
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught
Love's a deck of cards read them and weep
Cause out here there's no honor among thieves
Yeah
There ain't no right or wrong
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Lust, love and greed were in my heart
I thought I had to play each part
I'd skip school and get in a fight
Had a different girl every Friday night
But it all came out in the wash
Dad always said boys will be boys
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
I lost my driver's license twice
For speeding and running red lights
But like all kids I lived and learned
Play with fire and you'll get burned
I bucked the system day and night
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool
It's clear to me now I was a fool
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Yeah everything turned out ok
Life was a play and the world a stage
Now those might be the saddest,
Big 'ol baby blues I ever seen.
How did I know, you'd been cryin'?
Baby, you got make-up runnin' down your cheek.
You're just a Queen lookin' for a crown,
Lost when you stumbled over some silly clown.
Take that frown,
Turn it upside down,
'Cause you never know who might be,
Fallin' in love with your smile.
A broken heart that's on the mend,
Takes a little time, I realise.
An' right now you wouldn't know,
True love if it looked you in the eye.
Girl, I did my best; I really tried to make you grin.
An' before I say goodbye, I'm gonna tell you again.
Take your frown,
Turn it upside down,
Oh, you never know who might be,
Fallin' in love with your smile.
Take your frown,
An' turn it upside down,
Oh, you never know who might be,
Fallin' in love with your smile.
Those might be the saddest,
We stood at the altar, repeating our vows for life
For better or worse, forever a husband and wife
Love's not always easy and dreams don't all come true
Why'd you lose your faith in me, I never gave up on you
When I said "I Do," I did, and the words were truly spoken
I gave you my heart to hold thinkin' it would go unbroken
You drifted so far you can't see the stars that we wished upon before
When I said "I Do," I did, but you don't anymore
These days nobody seems to try
To love through the hard times instead of just saying goodbye
We built this world around us, together hand in hand
And even if you walk away, it won't change where I stand
When I said "I Do," I did, and the words were truly spoken
I gave you my heart to hold thinkin' it would go unbroken
You drifted so far you can't see the stars that we wished upon before
When I said "I Do," I did, but you don't anymore
You drifted so far you can't see the stars that we wished upon before
She was starin' out the window of that suv
Complainin' saying i cant wait to turn 18
I'll make my own money and I'll make my own rules
mama put the car in park out there in front of the school
and she kissed her head and said i was just like you
your gonna miss this
your gonna want this back
your gonna wish these days
hadn't gone by so fast
these are some good times
so take a good look around
you may not know it now
but your gonna miss this
before she knows it shes a brand new bride
in her one bedroom apartment and her daddy stops by
he tells her its a nice place, she says itll do for now
starts talkin bout babies and buyin a house
daddy shakes his head and says, baby slow down
cause your gonna miss this
your gonna want this back
your gonna wish these days
hadnt gone by so fast
these are some good times
so take a good look around
you may not know it now
but your gonna miss this
five years later theres a plumber workin on the water heater, dogs barkin, phones ringin, one kids crying
ones screamin and she keeps apoligizin
he says they dont bother me ive got 2 babies of my own
ones 36, ones 23, huh its hard to beleive
but your gonna miss this
your gonna want this back
your gonna wish these days
hadn't gone by so fast
these are some good times
so take a good look around
you may not know it now
but your gonna miss this
your gonna miss this
I can't believe it's come to this
Two broken hearts, one goodbye kiss
Is this all that's left of me and you
You seem to take it all in stride
While I'm crumbling inside
Letting go is hard for me to do
But if all my love is easy to refuse
Then I guess you just don't have as much to lose
'Cause I'm losing everything that ever meant anything
How can all of our yesterdays mean nothing to you
If all my love's so easy to refuse
Then I guess you just don't have as much to lose
If all my love's so easy to refuse
Then I guess you just don't have as much to lose
I can't believe it's come to this
Till death do us part is what she told that preacher man
Now she says this ain't worth dyin' for
She's had all she can't stand
She's boxed up momma's china, it's loaded on the truck
She's just got started packin, and I'm thinkin' this could suck
Now there goes my Lay-Z Boy and my flat top guitar
Here comes her big sister, what's she doin' in my car
As they drive off to the city I just waved
From the top of my lungs I hope she heard me say.
You Ain't Leavin' Thank God Are Ya
You can't be gone fast enough
What seemed to take a lifetime just left in a cloud of dust
This'll make my girlfriend happy she's the one
That never thought you would
You Ain't Leavin' Thank God Are Ya
Let us pray you're gone for good.
She forgot her new laptop, so I know she'll be back
I'll have a hot tub full of hotties, icein' down a 24-pack
She'll cuss me like a sailor, but I don't care
I'll have a few choice words when I come up for air.
You Ain't Leavin' Thank God Are Ya
I never ask you where you're goin'
I never ask you where you've been
I've never called and checked your story
When you stayed out with all your freinds
I've never tried to catch you lyin'
I didn't want to know the truth
I'd rather go on lovin' blind girl
Than go on lovin' without you
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' that you could ever be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
I'd still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I've always said what I don't know
Couldn't hurt as bad as leavin' you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin'
It ain't an easy thing to do
Well I guess I should be goin'
I sure found out too much to stay
Please don't say your sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' that you could ever be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
I'd still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
I'd still look like a fool in front of your freinds
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
Beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Just walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland, yeah
See, in the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No man"
Ha, but you can do the job when you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
All the plans that we made
Just walking in a winter wonderland
Yeah, walking in a winter wonderland
Don't my baby look good in them blue jeans
Tight on the top with a belly button ring
A little tattoo somewhere in between she only shows to me
Yeah we're goin' out dancin' she's ready tonight
So damn good lookin' boys it ain't even right
And when the bartender says for the lady
What's it gonna be I tell him man
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sipping champagne
No Cuervo, gold margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in tequila
She needs somethin' with a little more edge
And a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl, she's my little whiskey girl
My ragged on the edges girl, ah but I like em rough
Baby got a '69 mustang
Four on the floor and you oughtta hear the pipes ring
I jump behind the wheel and it's a way we go
Hey I drive too fast but she don't care
Blue bandana tied all up in her hair, just sittin there
Singin' every song on the radio
She ain't in to wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sipping champagne
No Cuervo, gold margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in tequila
She needs somethin' with a little more edge
And a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl, she's my little whiskey girl
My ragged on the edges girl, ah but I like em rough
She's my little whiskey girl, she's my little whiskey girl
My ragged on the edges girl, ah but I like em rough
I'm a lonely man with a lonely life
A full-time job and part-time wife
And the grindstone just goes on and on
You're a lonely girl that's a lonely wife
Gotta three bedroom and an empty life
And you're not quite sure
Just where it all went wrong
There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away
But there's a whole lot ridin' on this love so baby what's ya say
Let's give it one good shot
Let's really give it all we got
We can take it nice and slow
Baby don't you want to go back
Where we had a chance
And we danced our dance
In a world where a heart could never shatter
We might go down cryin'
But at least our love will die
Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
We've come a long way so don't forget
let's don't throw our hands up yet
We've still got time
To change our mind
Honey let's give it our best tonight
If we still ain't got it right
We can always, always say goodbye
Somewhere I guess we let go, lost a little ground
One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around
Let's give it one good shot
Let's really give it all we got
We can take it nice and slow
Baby don't you want to go back
Where we had a chance
And we danced our dance
In a world where a heart could never shatter
We might go down cryin'
But at least our love will die
Tryin' to matter
We might go down cryin'
At least our love will die
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Just one more lonely night or two
Do you remember, well I remember
Every kiss, bittersweet and tender
Every promise, every vow
Every time you said forever baby, even now
Even though you left me, for another
I'm a big boy, I will recover and
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Just one more lonely night or two
Ain't it funny, I think it's funny
I'm gonna laugh until I don't cry honey, 'cause
Shedding tears just ain't my style
But I guess I oughtta miss her for a little while
A little blue-eyed blonde in a red hot sweater
Wants to spice my chili, I think I'm gonna let her
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Just one more lonely night or two
So when you get lonely
I dare you to call me
Oh don't call me baby
'Cause sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
The sun don't rise and set in you
There's a band called The Lonely playin' downtown tonight
And man, they know their way around the blues
There's not an empty space in the parkin' lot
And there's a line stretchin' around the block
And the sad man standin' at the door says the place is full of broken hearts
If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only for The Lonely
Oh, you can dance with a stranger under the smoky blue lights
You can stand alone with lovers who love to lose
You can drown in your pain if there's room at the bar
You can hide your tears, you can cry in the dark
While The Lonely sings a song straight to your broken heart
If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only
If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only
If you're hear to see The Lonely, if you're hear to see The Lonely
The First Noel, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Then they looked up and they saw a bright star
Shining off in the east beyond them far
And to the earth, oh, it gave a great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
I walk downtown in my broke down shoes
To the side street pub with the bar band blues
Take a backseat at the front door table
Order me a Bud and a shot of Black Label
Closed this place down once again
Sittin' here wishin' you'd walk right in
Down my shot, shoot my beer
I ain't gotta go home but I can't stay here
It's a short, short walk down to my second home
But that boulevard gets longer when you're walkin' back alone
And I don't know where you might be
Wherever it is, it will be without me
I keep thinkin' I'll come home
One day and find you
Long as I got that neon light
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
I know I can make it downtown by myself
'Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
You might end up somewhere else
Kickin' off my shoes, tumblin' through the front door
Knowin' too well the kind of night I'm in for
Cubs got beat again on Sports Center
My bedroom's cold as my tea with [Incomprehensible]
One more cigarette and I'll kill the light
And only be wishin' you were sleepin' at my side
And I don't know where you might be
Wherever it is, it will be without me
I keep thinkin' I'll come home
One day and find you
Long as I got that front porch light
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
I know I can make it home all by myself
'Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
You might end up somewhere else
Girl, I don't know where you might be
Wherever it is, it will be without me
Keep thinkin' I'll come home
One day and find you
Long as I got that front porch light
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
I know I can make it home all by myself
'Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
You might end up somewhere else
Ah, somewhere else
You might end up somewhere else
Somewhere else
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
I can't get enough of my baby's huggin' and kissin'
I never knew a girl who could do what she's doing to me
With just one touch she cast a spell
I'm tangled up, I can't help myself
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
The boys call me up and want to tell me
About the fun I've been missing
They want to know why I let her keep me under
Lock and key
But I got what they're looking for
When she gets me behind close doors
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
It's not because she's always satisfied
Or that she's so easy to please
She showed me what love's about
That's for sure and I don't mean maybe
Absolutely, there's no doubt, boys
Nothin's too good for my baby
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I'm gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
She don't ask for much of anything
But when she does, I give my all
All it takes is one sweet touch
And I go where her love takes me
I can't seem to get enough
Man, when it comes to my baby
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I'm gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
She showed me what love's about
That's for sure and I don't mean maybe
Absolutely, there's no doubt, boys
Nothin's too good for my baby
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I'm gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's gotta have it
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's what she wants, that's what I'm gonna do
No matter what it takes, the sky's the limit
She's a top barrel racer
Cowboy chaser
She drinks tecate like it's goin' out of style
She's real good lookin' And pretty good at hookin'
Any man she wants with just a little smile
I drawed a strong one
A big full grown one
He punched me out when I hit the ground
I came to with a panoramic view
Lookin' for my baby
She was nowhere around
I looked up, I looked down
I ain't seen her since the second go-'round
Somebody said they seen her headin' out of town
Now she ran away with a rodeo clown
She ran away with a rodeo clown
She's got twenty-two dollars
And makeup on her collar
She left some clothes so she's travelin light
But I'll bet a new saddle
And forty head of cattle
That I could catch 'em both if I drove all night
But this don't make sense
She's done jumped the fence
And I'm speedin' cross Texas on a broken heart
I'm goin' home where the coyote roam
Makin' my camp at the end of the bar
I looked up, I looked down
I ain't seen her since the second go-'round
Somebody said they seen her headin' out of town
Now she ran away with a rodeo clown
She ran away with a rodeo clown
I looked up, I looked down
I ain't seen her since the second go-'round
Somebody said they seen her headin' out of town
Now she ran away with a rodeo clown
You can have that perfume that you wanted
And you can have those earrings, too
I'll even get that TV set
But there's a few things you gotta do
'Cause you've been lettin' our love come second
And sometimes even third
Now, I've had enough and if you want that stuff
Hey, Santa's done give me the word that
If you ain't a good girl by Christmas
He said he's gonna take it all back
If you ain't got it right come Christmas night
He's gonna put it back in the sack
You've got a lot of things on your list
And you better straighten up your act
'Cause if you ain't a good girl by Christmas
Hey, Santa's gonna take it all back
Got you a car back on your birthday
But that didn't get me nowhere
I did dinner and wine on valentine's
And you acted like you didn't care
Hey, it's time you loved your fellow man
That's what the season is all about
Now, I've heard it said that it ain't what you get
But baby, I'm plum give out
If you ain't a good girl by Christmas
He said he's gonna take it all back
If you ain't got it right come Christmas night
He's gonna put it back in the sack
You've got a lot of things on your list
And you better straighten up your act
'Cause if you ain't a good girl by Christmas
Hey, Santa's gonna take it all back
Now, you've got a lot of things on your list
But if you don't straighten up your act
If you ain't a good girl by Christmas
Yeah, Santa's gonna take it all back
If you ain't a good girl by Christmas
Yeah, Santa's gonna take it all back
Aw, he's gonna get it all too baby
Box it up, put it up on that big sleigh
He might throw that car up with it
Wave bye-bye, I told ya, and I told ya
My buddy said his girlfriend is as pretty as can be
He said help a brother out tonight and come double date with me
She's gotta a baby sister and they're headed into town
They're lookin' for a good time
They're fun to be around
I said what do she look like?
He scratched his head and stated
"She was a home comin' football queen before she graduated.
We'll wine and dine and do 'em fine
and really double date 'em
Then take 'em back to the motel six and
Try to seperate 'em.
They showed up in a pick up
They were right on time
His was kinda heafty
But not half as big as mine
I'm runnin' block
Turn the lights down low
Runnin' block
Don't want know one to know
That I tried to drink her skinny but she's still about 215
Sometimes you got to bow up
And take one for the team
She cleaned her plate at dinner
Then she ate what's left of mine
Then she wolfed down a big cheesecake as I drank all the wine
She strolled out to the padio for an after dinner cig
I said "Bro you done 'er this time and gonna owe me big
You know why?
'Cuz my brother's havin' a party
Thought you outta know
Now a red solo cup is the best receptacle
For barbecues, tailgates, fairs and festivals
And you, sir, do not have a pair of testicles
If you prefer drinking from glass
A red solo cup is cheap and disposable
And in 14 years they are decomposable
And unlike my home, they are not foreclosable
Freddie-Mac can kiss my ass. Woo!
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let's have a party, let's have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up
Proceed to party, proceed to party
Now I really love how you're easy to stack
But I really hate how you're easy to crack
Cuz when beer runs down in front of my pack
Well that my friends is quite yucky
But I have to admit the ladies get smitten
Admiring how sharply my first name is written
On you with a sharpie when I get to hittin'
on them to help me get lucky
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let's have a party, let's have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up
Proceed to party, proceed to party
Now I've seen you in blue and I've seen you in yellow
But only you, red, will do for this fellow
Cuz you are the Abbot to my Costello
And you are the fruit to my loom
Red solo cup, you're more than just plastic
You're more than amazing you're more than fantastic
And believe me that I'm not the least bit sarcastic
when i look at you and say:
"Red solo cup, you're not just a cup. (No, no, God no!)
You're my, you're my (friend?) friend. (life long!)
Thank you for being my friend."
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let's have a party, let's have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up
Proceed to party, proceed to party
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let's have a party, let's have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up
Proceed to party, proceed to party
Red solo cup, I fill you up
Let's have a party, let's have a party
I love you red solo cup, I lift you up
Let's have a party, proceed to party
I see you standin' in the sun
Like an iron dinosaur
Got your tired head restin'
On a West Texas floor
We were really something son
Back in our time
Yeah we broke a lot of hearts
And we made a lot of dimes
Pump Jack pump Jack
Pump a little more
'Cause Daddy's cut it thin
At the general store
Gentleman's dime don't float that long
Hey pump Jack pump before my good name's gone
You know I lost my baby to a wildcat dream
I was fueled by the crude and the gasoline
It's hard to settle down with a roustabout
That oil burns hot 'till the oil burns out
Pump Jack pump Jack
Pump a little more
'Cause Daddy's cut it thin
At the general store
A gentleman's dime don't float that long
Hey pump Jack pump before my good name's gone
Standin' in the panhandle
Cussin' this well
Wishing like the devil
Praying like hell
At the end of this string is a pot of black gold
Sittin' in the bottom of another giant hole
Pump Jack pump Jack
Pump a little more
'Cause Daddy's cut it thin
At the general store
A gentleman's dime don't float that long
Hey pump Jack pump before my good name's gone
Yeah pump Jack pump before my good name's gone
Pump Jack pump Jack
Pump a little more
Pump Jack pump Jack
Pump a little more
Yeah pump Jack pump Jack
Pump a little more
Pump Jack pump Jack
We saw the moon in Colorado
Made music in Tennessee
We found the gold of El Dorado
It's so good, making love, you and me
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
And these lips, no other boy will ever kiss
And this heart, it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Now we struck oil in Oklahoma
And won the Oscar in Hollywood
And climbed the canyons of Arizona
And baby, making love never felt so god
These arms, they will never hold another
These eyes, they are blind to any other
And these lips, no other boy will ever kiss
And this heart, it will always feel like this
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could tell me not to
He sent you from Heaven
Just to make my dreams come true
When he opened the door
That you came walking through
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could stop me loving you
Only God could stop me loving
Note to self
Better call
She'll be mad as hell
If I know her at all
Cuz today's her birthday
And I almost forgot
Note to self
I better not
Note to self
On my way home
Don't forget the roses
and Dom Perignon
You know how she loves a
Great big suprise
Note to self
You're skating on thin ice
Hmm I ain't gonna screw it up this time
Hmmm I'm gonna really make her proud she's mine
Note to self
Remember when
You use to light her up
When you walked in
And she stole your breath away
That's the way it was
Everytime you kissed her
And she still does
Hmm I ain't gonna mess it up this time
Hmmmmmmm I'm gonna really make her proud she's mine
Turning down the street
I'm pulling in the drive
Door ain't lock
So I step inside
She ain't here to greet me
So what's goin on?
Note self
She's already gone
Hmmmm gone
Hmmmmmmmm gone
Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan
Weren't we some bad mothers, closer than brothers
Had a rockin' little three-piece band
Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women
Then we tried to sing 'em pretty for the girls
Pushin' everythin' we did to the limit
Livin' right out on the edge of the world.
I recall on summer night at a party
We were sophomores hangin' out by the lake
I got off on some wine with a waitress
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldn't wait
JB hooked up around midnight
With an ugly girl from up in the city
He downed every can of beer in the cooler
Just tryin' to drink that poor thing pretty.
Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noise
And we, sang all our songs for free
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
Never did get a degree
We did it our way lookin' back on the good days
There's still not a lot I regret
Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget.
I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPL
Sonny's got a good life, a baby and a good wife
And everyday he carries the mail
JB is a cross-country trucker
And he called last night from South Carolina
He said I fallen in love with a waitress
That I met at a Waffle House diner.
He said the years seem to roll on faster
Than they did back when we were kids
Then we need us a break from the grindstone
That's exactly what we did.
We put in a phone call to Sonny
Then we stayed out all night long
We drank a few cold ones, then told a few old ones
And sang another verse to the song.
Yeah we were boys who made a lot of noise
And we, sang all our songs for free
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
Never did get a degree
We did it our way lookin' back on the good days
There's still not a lot I regret
There's some Nights I Can't Remember, with Friends I'll Never Forget.
Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today
Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door
I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set
There's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet
Go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin', that's the next thing on my list
Wouldn't change the course of fate but cuttin' the grass just had to wait
'Cause I've got more important things like pushin' my kid on the backyard swing
I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave
So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today
Like go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin', that's the next thing on my list
Raise a little hell, laugh 'til it hurts
Put an extra five in the plate at church
Call up my folks just to chat
It's time that I make time for that
Stay up late, then oversleep
Show her what she means to me
Catch up on all the things I've always missed
Just start livin', that's the next thing on my list
Under an old brass paperweight
I straddled my bicycle when I was ten years old
I rode it up on Maxwell Hill where all the big boys go
Way down at the bottom there's a creek bed six feet wide
If you peddle fast enough you can make the other side
Mama come quick I think I fell
And hurt myself again
Mama come quick you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off
And sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch
I fell in love for the first time when I was almost grown
I heard that love could hurt real bad, though I had not been shown
Everybody told me she would only break my heart
But I wouldn't listen to them 'cause I was way too smart
Mama come quick I think I fell
And hurt myself again
Mama come quick you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off
And sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch
Yeah daddies teach us how to ride
How to catch and throw
But when things don't go the way they should
A boy knows where to go
Mama come quick I think I fell
And hurt myself again
Mama come quick you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off
And sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch
Oh mama come quick
I need your lovin' touch
Yeah mama come quick
I can leave my dirty laundry lyin' anywhere
I don't make my bed it's alright, no one ever goes in there
I can fall asleep on the couch and leave the tv on
'Cause I've got the whole place to myself
Now that all her things are gone
And lucky me, I've got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I'm not crowded anymore
And finally, I've got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me
Now I've got last week's dishes still piled up in the sink
And lots of time here on my hands to sit around and think
I'm better off in this house alone, it's a blessing in disguise
And her leavin' came along, I know
Right at the perfect time
And lucky me, I've got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I'm not crowded anymore
And finally, I've got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me
That sure was a close call, someone could have been hurt
Yeah, she could be missin' me, but that's not what I've heard
And lucky me, I've got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I'm not crowded anymore
And finally, I've got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me
Lucky me, I've got all the space I need
Lucky me, I've got room to breathe
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Lust, love and greed were in my heart
I thought I had to play each part
I'd skip school and get in a fight
Had a different girl every Friday night
But it all came out in the wash
Dad always said boys will be boys
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
I lost my driver's license twice
For speeding and running red lights
But like all kids I lived and learned
Play with fire and you'll get burned
I bucked the system day and night
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool
It's clear to me now I was a fool
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Yeah everything turned out ok
Layin' back in my easy chair
Late last Christmas eve
Silent night, twinkling lights
Presents 'round the tree
I heard my little girl's two bare feet
Comin' down the stairs
She was sad as I looked over
Draggin' her teddy bear
She said, now daddy, I had a dream
A little angel came down to me
She wasn't happy like angels ought to be
She was cryin' when she gave me the message
For all the world to hear
You know that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
So, with her head on my shoulder
And her tears mixed with mine
I thought how little baby Jesus
Gets left out at Christmas time
It ain't about the money
Oh, money can't buy love
And I saw the light that Christmas night
With help from up above
She said, now daddy, I had a dream
A little angel came down to me
She wasn't happy like angels ought to be
She was cryin' when she gave me the message
For all the world to hear
You know that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
Sometimes this time of year
She said that Jesus gets jealous of Santa Claus
We talk about your work, how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your Church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in a while
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my, me, mine
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you, usually but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
Your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The one's that you despise and the one's you idolize
We talk about your heart, about your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my, me, mine
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
Me, me, me, me, me
I wanna talk about me
Me, me, me, me, me
You, you, you, you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my, me, mine
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, you, you, you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
Oh, me
Maybe you were right
maybe i coulda changed
sittin here alone tonight
thinkin bout alota things
whats a man to say
when all the questions start
hell i know deep down inside my broken heart
(chorus)
coulda tried just a little bit harder
kissed you just a little bit sweeter
held on just a little bit longer
dug down just a little bit deeper
let the world revolve around you
and given you the stars above
I loved you just enogh to make you stay
and i lost you anyway
I hate it when it's like this
baby its like that now
nothin i can say to you
you'ld even care to talk about
how you gonna dress it up
wrap it in a pretty bow
when it's gone it's gone for good
baby at least i know
(chorus)
Let the world revolve around you
and given you the stars above
I loved you just enough to make you stay and i lost you anyway
and i lost you anyway
and i lost you anyway
Bye bye baby I’m leaving
You can keep your mansion and your money
Your boat and your bands and your uptown friends
And your country club that ain’t really country
I need a little down home lovin’
And a man ain’t gonna get it up here
I’ll find what I want in a honky-tonk
I like girls that drink beer
You bought me a black tie suit and I ain’t wearin’ it
Can’t be seen in that thing in my lariat
Ain’t goin’ down to the ball in your chariot
This high rise life just ain’t for me
Bye bye baby I’m leaving
Now you can keep your mansion and your money
Your boat and your bands and your uptown friends
And your country club that ain’t really country
I need a little down home lovin’
And a man ain’t gonna get it up here
Hey I’ll find what I want in a honky-tonk
I like girls that drink beer
There’s a two lane black tap road and I’ma hitting it
Skinner back sun, let her fly just to get me there
Find me a little hot spot and just sit in it
Giving me a mug of that ice cold brew
Get me a girl that’s got one too
Bye bye baby I’m leaving
Now you can keep your mansion and your money
Your boat and your bands and your uptown friends
And your country club that ain’t really country
I need a little down home lovin’
And a man ain’t gonna get it up here
Hey I’ll find what I want in a honky-tonk
I like girls that drink beer
Hey I need a little down home lovin’
And a man ain’t gonna get it uṗ here
I’ll find what I want in a honky-tonk
I like girls that drink beer
Yeah I’ll find what I want in a honky-tonk
There's no need to apologize
This happens time and time again
As soon as somebody lays their eyes on her
They dial right in
I watched you sneak a look
From the other side of the floor
And as I danced her by i watched you steal one more
You don't have to tell me she's beautiful
You don't have to say things like one-of-a-kind
You don't have to wonder if she loves me man
I know that's crossed your mind
Seems like everywhere we go
There's always somebody staring at her
Yeah I know she hung the moon
I'm the one that held the ladder
Now if you had half a chance
You'd probably make a play
Ah but if you were to ask her to dance
She'd only turn you away
So you'll never ever know
But buddy if you were in my shoes
You don't have to tell me she's beautiful
You don't have to say things like one-of-a-kind
You don't have to wonder if she loves me man
I know that's crossed your mind
Seems like everywhere we go
There's always somebody staring at her
Yeah I know she hung the moon
I'm the one that held the ladder
Yeah I know she hung the moon
Cause I'm the one that held the ladder
There's no need to apologize
Go on and call me up
Tell me you made a grave mistake
You know I never once turned you away
That is I hate to say
I know how good it’s gonna to be
Just for a night I’ll lay you down by me
And you lie like you won’t say goodbye
Like you do every time
*Chorus*
Come here and kiss and act like you miss me
Make me believe we’re together
Come here and hold me and baby control me
Just be like you’ll be here forever
You never cut me deep enough to tell you no
Ohhh
tell me you love me
It’ll hurt a lot worse when you go
I’m not what you want
No I’m not ever going to be
More than someone you’ve come to need
and you lie like you won’t say goodbye
Like you do every time
Chorus
Ohhh
just tell me you love me
It’ll hurt a lot worse when you go
You never cut me deep enough to tell you no…
Ohhh
Just tell me you love me
It’ll hurt a lot worse when you go
You're lookin' at me
Like the first time we met
I can tell that you're needing
That feeling you get when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Hold you, kiss you, love you
So darlin' surrender
Right here in my arms
Love will be waiting
Wherever we are when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Just close your eyes
And I'll take you away
Let go of everything
Whisper my name when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Like I do
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Just close your eyes
And I'll take you away
Let go of everything
Whisper my name when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Like I do
When tangled sheets
In the dark of the night
I'll wake you up in the
Sweet mornin' light when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Just close your eyes
And I'll take you away
Let go of everything
Whisper my name when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
C’mon
There’s a gentleman down in Lynchburg
On the south side of Tennessee
He started cookin that home made whiskey
Had his own little recipe
Now his name’s on a million labels
And you can see it on a billboard sign
Got a lot of good ol’ buddys
But Jack Daniels is a friend of mine
You got to hit it
Get it while the gettin’s good
Kick the tires and pop that hood
I can’t quit it
Wouldn’t if I could
Sure beats sittin around
Knock, knock, knockin on wood
Get with it
While your bidin’ your time
Playin’ that ready or not
I’m gonna take my shot
Pop gotta hit it
She was standin behind the eight ball
Lookin like trouble in a short skirt
Hell on heels about yay tall
Makin it work, makin it work
The money was on the table
My eyes were out of the socket
She caught me bent down in front of the ball
And the eight ball in the corner pocket
HIT IT
Get it while the gettin’s good
Kick the tires and pop that hood
I can’t quit it
Wouldn’t if I could
Sure ain’t sittin here
Knock, knock, knockin on wood
Get with it
While your bidin’ your time
Playin’ that ready or not
I’m gonna take my shot
Pop gotta hit it
Gotta hit it
Got a pool shark honey
And a pocket full of money
And a bottle of ole’JD
You can jump on the bus
And party with us
But if your runnin with me runnin with me
Hit it
Get it while the getting’s good
Kick the tires and pop that hood
I can’t quit it
Wouldn’t if I could
Sure beats sittin around
Knock, knock, knockin on wood
Get with it
While your bidin’ your time
Playin’ that ready or not
I’m gonna take my shot
Pop gotta hit it
Just a girl born in Dixie, washed in the blood
And raised on the banks of the Mississippi mud
She always had a thing about fallin' in love with a bad boy
Yeah, they could see it all comin' but her daddy never dreamed
She'd grow up that fast, you know what I mean
The way a girl gets when she turns seventeen, kinda crazy
She's a rebel child and a preacher's daughter
She was baptized in dirty water
Her mama cried the first time they caught her with me
They knew they couldn't stop her
She holds tight, me and the Bible
On the back seat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there preachin' to the choir, you see
God love her
Oh, me and God love her!
She kissed her mama goodbye, said I'll be sure 'n phone ya
She called her from a truck stop in Tucson Arizona
With Amazing Grace, we made California line
And then my gypsy life started takin' its toll
And the fast lane got empty and out of control
And just like an angel she saved my soul from the devil
Yeah, she's a rebel child and a preacher's daughter
She was baptized in dirty water
Her mama cried the first time they caught her with me
They knew they couldn't stop her
She holds tight, me and the Bible
On the back seat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there, preachin' to the choir, you see
God love her
Oh, me and God love her!
Now she holds tight to me and the Bible
On the back seat of my motorcycle
Left her daddy standin' there preachin' to the choir, you see
God love her
Oh, me and God love her!
God love her
Me and God love her
Got the news on Friday morning, but a tear I couldn't find
You showed me how I am supposed to live
And now you showed me how to die
I was lost 'til Sunday morning, I woke up to face my fear
While writing you this goodbye song, I found a tear
I'm gonna miss that smile, I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up, I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven 'cause that's right where you wanna be
I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm cryin' for me
I got up and dialed your number, and your voice came on the line
With that old familiar message I heard a thousand times
It just said, sorry that I missed you, leave a message and God bless
I know that you think I'm crazy, but I just had to hear your voice I guess
I'm gonna miss that smile, I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up, I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven 'cause that's right where you wanna be
I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm cryin' for me
So play your upside down, left-handed, backwards bass guitar
I'll see you on the other side, superstar
I'm gonna miss that smile, I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up, I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven 'cause that's right where you wanna be
I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm cryin' for me
Seems like only yesterday
We put our Christmas things away
Now here's another Christmas day with you
When you're in love, how time does fly
And this year that's just flown by
Had been one happy holiday for two
Christmas to Christmas
Wrapped in your arms
Love's always in season
And always so warm
Till my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you
Yes, the givin' season's here again
Time to love your fellow man
Yuletide smiles are in demand, it's true
The love we share is for all time
We'll feel its glow right through July
To melt the cold when winter flies anew
Christmas to Christmas
Wrapped in your arms
Love's always in season
And always so warm
Till my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you
Till my days on earth are through
Thought I'd call you up
See if had celebrated
Day you were born
It's a little belated
Age is just a number
It's really over rated to me
Yea November third
That's a day I remember
Cuz its thirty seven days after mine in September
You'd thought I forgot
Cuz here it is December again
Oh, happy birthday baby
Wanna to see you tonight
I got your present waitin
I wanna do it right
I ain't got enough money for a big diamond ring
Let's tie a brand new bow around the same old thing
Now blow
Out your candles
Yea happy birthday baby
Want to see you tonight
I got your present waitin
And I wanna do it right
I ain't got enough money for a big diamond ring
Let's tie a brand new bow around the same old thing
I saw her turn her head
In a drop-dead gaze
She was peekin' out over the top
Of those wire-rim shades
Now it wasn't my charm
And it wasn't my grin
That had that little secretary
Dialed right in
She wasn't lookin' at me, man
she was lookin' at my feet
It's these twenty-two hundred
And twenty-five dollar
Pair o' handmade genuine fine
Horned-back kicks
With a seven-row stitch
And a three dollar sidewalk shine
Yeah they're made to fit
and they're hard to find
Make a pretty woman look down each time
I got the baddest boots on the boulevard
Yeah the baddest boots on the boulevard
They were made by a little man
Down in El Paso
I was passin' though town
Singin' at the rodeo
He said 'they cost a little more
But for what it's worth
There ain't another pair like 'em
on god's green earth'
Then I handed him my money
And he sized me up
I got the baddest boots on the boulevard
Yeah, the Baddest boots on the boulevard
When I pull 'em on I start singin' a song
Make me wanna tuck my britches leg's inside 'em
Lets take a stroll
They're the baddest boots on the boulevard
Look here girl
Winter gettin' colder, summer gettin' warmer
Tidal wave comin' cross the Mexican border
Why buy a gallon, it's cheaper by the barrel?
Just don't get busted singing Christmas carols
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Look Ma, no hands, I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
Mama gets her rocks off watchin' Desperate Housewives
Daddy works his ass off payin' for the good life
Kids on the YouTube learnin' how to be cool
Livin' in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Look Ma, no hands, I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
Poor little infamous, America's town
She gained five pounds and lost her crown
Quick fix plastic surgical antidote
Got herself a record deal, can't even sing a note
Plasma gettin' bigger, Jesus gettin' smaller
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars
Customs caught a thug with an aerosol can
If the shoe don't fit, the fit's gonna hit the shan
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Hot dog, hot damn, I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride, oh yeah
Oh yeah, na na, na na na na
Na na, na na na na, na na, na na na na
7 in the morning
She has to make a choice
Precious baby girl,
Or bouncing baby boy
She could either keep it,
Or give that child away
So she quit school that morning,
And became a mom that day
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing,
You can justify,
But it’s still black and white,
Paint it any shade,
But it won’t change
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing
News came on my TV,
A mother cried and said,
That her son was fighting for his life
Cause her husband lost his head,
Might have been a problem child,
If that boy were mine,
I wouldn’t beat him half to death,
Trying to make him walk the line
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing,
You can justify,
But it’s still black and white,
Paint it any shade,
But it won’t change
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing
Now empowered politicians,
Trying to pass a law,
They won’t let our children pray
For the better of us all,
If God blessed America,
Then how could someone vote,
To take prayer from our classrooms,
Right when we need prayer the most
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing,
You can justify,
But it’s still black and white,
Paint it any shade,
But it won’t change
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing
I told you when I met you, don't try to love me
But I love you for trying to anyway
You're cryin' and it don't surprise me
That you can't find it in your heart to stay
This ain't the first time to be my own worst enemy
Baby, don't you worry, you found me
You ain't sayin' nothin' that ain't been said
You ain't leavin' somethin' that ain't been left
Ain't bringin' me nothin' I don't already know
You ain't doin' nothin' that ain't been done
Ain't startin' somethin' that ain't begun
And you say that it won't kill me to watch you go
But you ain't breakin' nothin' that ain't already broke
I used up all the whiskey
Me and Jesus got by
But still you goodbye kiss me
No matter how hard I try
I'm down lower than I like to go
This ain't the first time that I've dug out a lovin' soul
You ain't sayin' nothin' that ain't been said
You ain't leavin' somethin' that ain't been left
Ain't bringin' me nothin' I don't already know
You ain't doin' nothin' that ain't been done
Ain't startin' somethin' that ain't begun
And you say that it won't kill me to watch you go
But you ain't breakin' nothin' that ain't already broke
Ain't already alone, ain't already dealin' with you bein' gone
You ain't sayin' nothin' that ain't been said
You ain't leavin' somethin' that ain't been left
Ain't bringin' me nothin' I don't already know
You ain't doin' nothin' that ain't been done
Ain't startin' somethin' that ain't begun
I say that it won't kill me to watch you go
Baby, you ain't breakin' nothin' that ain't already broke
Already broke
Already broke
When I busted in Austin
Walkin' around in a daze
Man, I'm sittin' in the slammer
Lookin' out through the bars 'cross a haze
It'll all clear up
In 11 months and 29 days
Keep that Lone Star cold
The dance floor hot while I'm gone
Keep the Lone Star cold
Dance floor hot while I'm gone
While I'm gone
Keep your hands off my baby
I ain't gonna be gone that long
Incognito bandito
That old judge put a sledgehammer
Put it in my hand when he said
I'm gonna send you down to Huntsville
And I'm gonna shave your face
And I'm gonna shave your head
Doin' 11/29
Cement floor for my bed
When I busted in Austin
Walkin' around in a daze
Now I'm sittin' in this slammer
Lookin' out through the bars 'cross a haze
It'll all clear up
Guess it slipped my mind
Now I'm in trouble deep
See the last two years in a row I forgot
Our anniversary
So I come Rushin' in
Twelve roses in bloom
Said honey would you like a romantic evening
Out under the stars and the moon
She didn't say no
But in her eyes I could see
That this wouldn't turn out to be
The enchanted evening I thought it would be
Yes I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no
Then we split the sheets
About six months ago
I told all my buddies down at the bar
This cowboy's headed home
Walked into her house
Yeah climbed right up in her bed
When I asked her if she still loved me
Man you know what she said
Oh she didn't say no
But in her eyes I could see
Ah this wouldn't turn out to be
The fairytale ending I thought it might be
But I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no
Yeah I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
I don't need this conversation
'Cause I don't need to see you cry
You need one more confirmation
Like I need one more reason why
I know this might not be the answer
Oh, that you came here to get
We both know that girl is somethin'
That I'm still not over yet
I cant go on using you
Girl, it feels like I'm losin' you
A love like yours is hard to find
But you caught me at a bad time
I knew that you'd be waiting
The night I made that desperate call
You weren't everything I needed
Just the softest place to fall
So I'm not gonna lie to you
Just keep stringing you along
Thought by now that I'd be better
But I guess I'm not that strong
And I can't go on using you
Oh, it feels like I'm losin' you
A love like yours is hard to find
You've caught me at a bad time
A love like yours is hard to find
If you wanna go back to him, baby, get up and go
im tired of being a clown caught up in your
sideshow
night after night it never ends
its like a heavyweight fight nobody wins
and im throwin'
in the towel, enough is enough
Knock yourself out, break me in two
you gotta go do what you gotta do
i gave you my best shot, but
you didnt fall
head over heels in love after all
i dont wanna hear no more, baby, theres the door
theres nothin left to fight about
knock yourself out
oh, lets not pull any punches while we're standin here toe to toe
if you're gonna leave me here,
baby go on, go
oh knock yourself out
Do blondes really have more fun
Or they just easier to spot in the dark?
Girl, I'm just tryin' to cheer you up
I saw you sittin' over here all alone, with a broken heart
It's hurtin' you real bad, wish there was somethin' that I had
I'd hook you up, get you through it
You might need a man to hold you 'til it don't
I'm just the guy to do it
Is that your pretty boy standin' there at the end of the bar
He's got some nerve
Talkin' loud and drinkin' with a red head ridin' shotgun on his arm
He's such a jerk
I think he's a knucklehead, all those ugly things he said were out of line
Man, he blew it
He might need someone to put him in his place
I'm just the guy to do it
Baby, I can't mend your broken heart
I can't take away your pain
I can't promise you the sun is gonna shine when you're walkin' in the rain
If you need a hero for tonight, I can be the one, let me prove it
Yeah, you just say the magic words and we'll be gone
I'm just the guy to do it
Baby, I can't mend your broken heart
I can't take away your pain
I can't promise you the sun is gonna shine when you're walkin' in the rain
Oh but if you need a hero for tonight, I can be the one, let me prove it
Yeah, you just say the magic words and we'll be gone
I'm just the guy to do it
Do blondes really have more fun
She said, "I'e seen you in here before."
I said, "I've been here a time or two."
She said, "Hello, my
Name is Bobby Jo
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight
And you're the only cowboy in this place
And if you're up for a rodeo
We'll put a big Texas smile on
Your face"
I said, "Girls,"
I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really lay it down
And if you need some love tonight
Then I might have just enough
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
I still hang out with my best friend dave
Ive known him since we were kids at school
Last night he
Had a few shots
Got in a tight spot hustlin' a game of pool
With a couple of redneck boys
One great
Big bad biker man
I heard David yell across the room
"Hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand."
I said, "Dave,"
I ain't as good as I once was
My how the years have flown
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really hold my own
But if you wanna fight tonight
Guess thouse boys dont look all that
Tough
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
I used to be hell on wheels
Back when I was younger man
Now my body says, "You can't do this boy"
But my pride says, "Oh, yes you can
I ain't as good as I once was
Thats just the cold hard truth
I still throw a few back, talk a little smack
When I'm feelin bullet proof
So don't double dog dare me now
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
Maybe not be good as I once was
Don't leave, I think I love you
I just saw the rest of my life, honey you're in it
Won't you hear what I say, give me a minute
Don't leave, I think I love you
I know you think I'm crazy, And you probably should
I wouldn't make this up, I couldn't dream this good
Now baby Don't tell me that I missed my chance
I haven't heard last call, would you like to dance?
I've been sitting here waiting on you all night
Why don't you give me that old good-to-go green light
Am I coming on strong, baby movin' kinda fast
I'm rushing along but at least I gotta ask
I couldn't live with myself if you got away
I'm a love sick puppy, baby what do you say?
It's late and been a long night, you're tired I know
Aw, don't break my heart, baby please don't go
It Ain't the shikey talkin', ain't this neon light
You see I've fallen stone-cold in love at first sight
Gonna cut to the chase, baby get right to it
I got a lot to say and a short time to do it
Aw, Don't walk away honey I'm just trying to
Aw... listen to me talkin', I'm a babblin' fool
Really baby, don't leave
I think I love you
I know you think I'm crazy, and you probably should
Girl whatcha talkin' 'bout, I ain't believin' this
I ain't settlin' for none of this foolishness
We can't let a sure thing drown in a puddle of doubt
It's just some rocky road but we've got solid ground
It's just a little bump we can work around
We've got a lifetime ahead so don't go quittin' me now
Come on baby we're still together
This ain't as good as it's gonna get
I swore I'd love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
Does it matter girl who's really right or wrong
This ain't the kinda thing we should sleep on
I say we start it all over tonight with a kiss
So slide over here mamma, it's gonna be alright
Let's write it off as just another angry night
I like it better when we're makin' up like this
Come on baby we're still together
This ain't as good as it's gonna get
I swore I'd love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
Come on baby we're still together
This ain't as good as it's gonna get
I'll still love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
I'll still love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
I took Lisa down to the cafe
The one where we first fell in love
I played the same song that we used to dance to
Hopin' it might be enough
But when I told her I was sorry
That only made it worse
Then the waitress came over and saw Lisa cryin'
Said honey what's the matter with her
There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
She's as pure as she can be
She'd never say, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you she's broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But there's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry
Could you bring us two cups of coffee
We might be here for a while
Make mine black and hers sweet as sugar
Something that matches her smile
She's already loved me for half of her life
She's never been untrue
So let me tell you before you ask her
If there's anything you can do
There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
She's as pure as she can be
She'd never say, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you she's broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But there's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry
There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I was hangin' out in Mexico, I had a beachfront bungalow
I know I should have gone home, but I was doin' that Caribbean thing
I was listenin' to a Spanish guitar, drinkin' margaritas under the stars
With a pretty senorita when the telephone started to ring, guess who
Hello, honey I was just about to
Hello, baby I was gettin' ready
Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no
Hello, if you give me just a minute
Hello, don't you hang up till I'm finished
Hello, you're the only one I've ever, you know
Hello
Well, there was silence at the end of the line
I thought I'd give her till a quarter of nine
I forgot to call her back and the party was a-rollin' at ten
See, I was workin' on tequila and lime
I guess I never even noticed the time
I was dancin' the Iguana when the phone started ringin' again
And you know who
Hello, honey I was just about to
Hello, baby I was gettin' ready
Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no
Hello, if you give me just a minute
Hello, don't you hang up till I'm finished
Hello, you're the only one I've ever, you know
Hello
Hello, honey I was just about to
Hello, baby I was gettin' ready
Hello, I know I should have called sooner, oh, no, no
Hello, if you give me just a minute
Hello, don't you hang up till I'm finished
Hello, you're the only one I've ever, you know
Hello
Hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
American Girls and American Guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory Flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.
Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July
Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way
Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue
Blue eyes, brown hair, yeah that's my past standing there
Turning every head in here tonight
That smile, that laugh, everyone is staring at
The one thing that stands between
Me and the rest of my life
I know a wall when I see one
And I'm looking at one right now
Heartaches written all over this one
One I can't get around
Where's a door when you need one
I know a wall when I see one
The hurt had stopped, at least that's what I thought
Up until what use to be walked in
Just flesh and bone, it might as well be stone
'Cause it's a memory I can't get past
That's what I'm up against
I know a wall when I see one
And I'm looking at one right now
Heartaches written all over this one
One I can't get around
Where's a door when you need one
I know a wall when I see one
After all my heart's been through
Look what it's run into
I know a wall when I see one
And I'm looking at one right now
Heartaches written all over this one
One I can't get around
Where's a door when you need one
I know a wall when I see one
Yeah me and bobby p stayed out all night
Kickin it and cutting up and getting right
I had a good time
Till I cam crawlin in bout daylight
And you were bawlin
And remember that time I took your car
You told me not to drive it but my truck wouldn't start
I had to leave it parked it got a whiskey dent
Down at the handlebar where I swore I never went darlin
Chorus
You get mad sometimes
I drive you right out of your mind
I don't mean to make you crazy
I'm not the devil just a dude
Baby girl I know that you
Could do better than me maybe
But its too later, you already love me
Yeah its too late, you already love me
Starch my shirt and press my pants
Mett your boss at tyour christmas dance
In a suit and tie
I wore my boots and jeans
And when he rolled his eyeys
Girl I caused a scene baby
Chorus
I'm the one who gets that look in your eye
And I'm the one who feels you tremble inside
I'm the one who steals those kisses from your breath
Sometimes it's so good at night it scares me to death
Thinkin' what would I do if I didn't have you
I'm as strong, strong as I can be
But ooh ooh ooh, baby you leave me weak
Put my hands upon your skin
And it warms me to the touch
All that I can think about while we're makin' love
Is I'm the only one who knows how passionate you get
About all of our deepest little secrets that we've kept
As the night gets longer, girl you just get stronger
And you pour yourself all over me
Ooh ooh ooh, baby you leave me weak
And it always blows me away, by the power that you hold
When the moment kicks in, and the magic unfolds
And you wrap your love around me and it brings me to my knees
Will you give me strength, all the strength that I need
As the night gets longer, girl you just get stronger
And you pour yourself all over me
Ooh ooh ooh, baby you leave me weak
I've got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time
There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around
They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around
They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
I always heard that his herb was top shelf
I just could not wait to find out for myself
Don't knock it until you tried it
Well I tried it my friend
And I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed him around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
"I'll never smoke weed with Willie again."
Chorus
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over before it began
You can pour me some ol' Whiskey River my friend
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I hopped on his old bus at Honeysuckle Road
The party was Vegas it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
With one parting puff, Grim Creeper set in
Chorus
Now we're passing the guitar, telling good jokes
And no one's a coming 'cause I'm smelling smoke
No I don't partake
I just let it pass by
With a smile on my face, and a great contact high
Chorus
In the fetal position with drool on my chin
I messed up and smoked weed with Willie again
Had this dream forever
And it's comin' true at last
Now lookin' back, the hard times
Were just lessons from the past
I finally climbed the highest mountain
Now I'm standing tall
There were sacrifices made
But now the price is paid
To you I owe it all
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am
I know I never told you
How much I depend on you
But at my weakest moment
You were strong and pulled me through
You've been standing in the shadows
You're still trying to
But to watch you step aside
Let me take this ride
Is something I can't do
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
Well a man, come on
Six o'clock news
Says somebody been shot
Somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole their car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far, yeah
They didn't get too far
Grandpappy told my pappy
Back in my day, son
A man had to answer
For the wicked thing he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
And hang 'em high in the street
For all the people to see
And justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon
We'll raises up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
We got too many gangsters
Doing dirty deeds
Too much corruption
And crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law
Put a few more in the ground
Send them all to their Maker
And he'll set them on down
You can bet, He'll set 'em down
Cause justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gunsmoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back
At the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!
You know justice is the one thing
You should always find
You gotta saddle up your boys
You gotta draw a hard line
When the gunsmoke settles
We'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all met back
At the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses
Against evil forces
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
Singing ,"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!'
On a cold night, late December
As the snow fell to earth
That's the one night, we remember
When a woman gave birth
And for miles and miles around
The baby's cry was the only sound
Did He know the world was filled with pain
Could He feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did He know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made the baby cry?
Is that what made the baby cry?
As his Mother turned to hold Him
Her face filled with joy
He grew quiet when She told Him
He was more than just her baby boy
And for miles and miles around
Her lullaby was the only sound
Did She know the world was filled with pain
Could She feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did She know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made Her baby cry?
Is that what made Her baby cry?
And as He fell asleep
She wiped away His tears
But the question still remains
Have we changed in two thousand years
Don't you know the world is still in pain
Can't you feel all the hunger and the shame
Did we forget about the way that He died
And the reason why
Would we still make the baby cry?
Going through the motions pretending to be
The man you used to see in me, baby
You don't wanna hurt me so you play along
And it don't feel right and it don't feel wrong
It just feels like a memory
Barely alive
When will we let it die
Where do you run? Where do you hide
After the promise breaks?
Who'll be the one to say goodbye
And who'll be the one to stay when love fades?
How are we gonna let go of something that's gone
Ain't it funny how a broken heart just keeps hangin' on, baby
You watched me walk away and I set you free
But I come back to you and you come back to me
I guess it beats being lonely
That's the reason why
We give it one more try
Where do you run? Where do you hide
After the promise breaks?
Who'll be the one to say goodbye
And who'll be the one to stay when love fades?
When love fades
Where do you run? Where do you hide
After the promise breaks?
Who'll be the one to say goodbye
And who'll be the one to stay when love fades?

(Hook)
Walk it off
Pick up all the pieces of your broken heart
You don't have to worry
She don't care anymore
She ain't there anymore
Hit the wall
'Cause no one you can call is gonna ease your pain
So take your torn umbrella out into the rain
Walk it off
Boy you were born to run
Now the day has come
She's left you standin' still
So deal
How does it feel
To have to face the fact
She ain't coming back
Walk it off
Walk it off
Though you might not ever see her face again
Sittin' here alone just scares you half to death
Boy don't hold your breath
[Chorus:]
If women come a dime a dozen, I ain�t got a penny
Some guys are gettin� way too much, some guys don�t get any
But if I had a nickel for every time I�d had enough
I�d still be busted and heartbroken still be tryin� to fall in love
I fell in love with Linda she didn�t love me back
I went crazy over Chrissy, she went crazy over Jack
Maria down in Mexico, my Spanish Mona Lisa
Tried to fly her back to Texas but she did not have a visa
[Chorus]
Bought Renee a dozen roses, all she did was make me beg
Displayed my love for Donna with a tattoo on my leg
There�s a tree where me and Carla carved our names with a pocket knife
But like our love it burned down with a lightning strike
[Chorus]
Why does everybody say there�s lots of fish out in the sea?
When I�m swimming after women they�re all laid up on the beach
[Chorus]
Yeah busted and heartbroken still be tryin� to fall in love
I stopped at a road house in Texas
A little place called Hamburger Dan's
I put a quarter in the jukebox
Play the Truck Drivin' Man
The waitress she poured me some coffee
I thanked her and called her back again
I said this song sure does fit me
Cause I'm a truck drivin' man
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a quarter in the jukebox
And play the Truck Drivin' Man
I climbed up inside my old semi
And then like a flash I was gone
I had them old wheels rollin'
I'm on my way to San Antone
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a quarter in the jukebox
And play the Truck Drivin' Man
Pour me another cup of coffee
For it is the best in the land
I'll put a quarter in the jukebox
And play the Truck Drivin' Man
And play the Truck Drivin' Man
In the quiet silent seconds
I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you
In the half light the moon left
While a cluster of night jars
Sang some songs out of tune
A mantle of bright light s
Shone down from a room
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave to me
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way
Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I've walked most all the way and I ain't heard her call
And I'm getting to thinking if she's coming at all
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message she gave to me
Come down in time and I'll meet you half way
There are women and women and some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night
My neighbor, Carl, he lives next door
Pink flamingos on his porch
At night he teaches driving school
And he sits out by his plastic pool
He takes off his shirt, he opens up a cold one
Old Carl’s bein’ a fool
But it takes one to know one
Chorus:
Music’s playin’ up and down the block
Mostly Christian, Blues, Country, Folk, and Southern Rock
It’s our little piece of paradise way out here in the woods
There is always somethin’ goin’ on down in the trailerhood
Across the street there’s Gamblin’ Jane
Always got the poker game
If you care to try your luck
You can buy a seat for fifteen bucks
You can call the raise, or you can check and fold
Oh, I like Five Card Stud but it’s mostly Texas Hold Em’
Repeat Chorus
New tattoos and farmer tans, rodeo, and Nascar fans
Dallas Cowboy football on TV
When the storm starts gettin’ bad
You hear those sirens hummin’
Grab a six-pack and a lawn chair
There’s a tornado comin’
Bridge (Alright)
Repeat Chorus
I got'er made in the shade
With a moonshine lemonade
There’s always a party goin’ on down in the trailerhood
Well, I'm not talkin' bout lockin down forever baby,
that would be too demanding
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin bout knockin out heaven
with wether we're wrong or we're right
see I'm not talkin bout hookin up and hanging out
I'm just talkin bout tonight
You were sitting on your bar stool
talkin to some fool who didn't have a clue
I guess he couldn't see you were lookin right at me
cause i was lookin at you too
then it's do you wanna dance?
Have we ever met?
You said "hold your horses boy!
I ain't that easy to get!!!"
well, I'm not talkin' bout lockin down forever baby,
that would be too demanding
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin bout knockin out heaven
with wether we're wrong or we're right
see I'm not talkin bout hookin up and hanging out
I'm just talkin bout tonight
She said I only take it slow
by now you oughta know that I ain't diggin this
If we can start as friends
the weekend just might end with a little kiss
She said I'm a lady lookin' for a man in my life
who'll make a good husband
I'll make a good wife
E-E-E-E-E-ASY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I'm not talkin' bout lockin down forever baby,
that would be too demanding
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin bout knockin out heaven
with wether we're wrong or we're right
see I'm not talkin bout hookin up and hanging out
I'm just talkin bout tonight
Yeah I'm just talkin bout a little bit later tonight
Bet you'll be glad to know
I got a brand new girlfriend
She took my broken heart
Patched it up again
She's good lookin'
And she drives a convertible
She likes to laugh a lot
Totally flirtable
[CHORUS:]
I know that you think I'm lonely
But you got it wrong, Clementine
Hey, I don't miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the time
I hear the people talkin'
They say you're lookin' good
They seen you walkin' with him
Down in the neighborhood
You got all lovey-dovey
With this handsome man
I did not catch the rest
I got it second hand
[Repeat Chorus]
I think about you when I'm dancin'
And when I'm asleep, I think about it too
And if by chance I start romancin'
You guessed it, I think about you
Baby, I know that you think I'm lonely
But you got it wrong, Clementine
Hey, I don't miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the time
Hey, I don't miss you too much
Turn left at the old hotel
I know this boulevard much to well
It hasnt changed since ive been gone
This used to be my way home
They paved the road to the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed it good
It was getting rough
Someone finally complained enough
Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for alittle while
It's plain to see the only thing missing is me
That's my house and thats my car
That's my dogs in my backyard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted the tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
There's my kids that's my wife
Who's that man running my life
If i pulled in would it cause a scene
They're not really expecting me
Those kids have been through hell
I hear they've adjusted well
Turn around in the neighbors drive
I'd be hard to recognize in this pick up truck
It's just an old fixer up
Drive away one more time
Alot of things running through my mind
I guess these things change
Boy they never seem the same
That's my house and thats my car
That's my dogs in my backyard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted the tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
There's my kids that's my wife
Who's that man running my life yeahh
That's my house and thats my car
That's my dogs in my backyard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted the tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
There's my kids that's my wife
Who's that man running my life
(Who's that man) whos that man running my life
(Who's that man) (who's that man) whos that man running my life
(Who's that man)
Who's that man running my life
(Who's that man) 2x
I know sometimes you need me to be tender
I don't give you much to go on
So I'm amazed at how you hold on to me
Baby girl I've never been this close before
Never opened up that door
I'm still finding my way
Something else that lovers do
When I've been by myself
Never had to talk about
Movin' in with someone else
Chorus
Then you kiss my face
And it makes me smile
Girl I want to lay with you,
Right here with you
For a little while
When I feel that rush
Coming down all over me
You're as fas as I can see
That's tender as I wanna be
Tender as I wanna be
Girl it's so tender
No maybe it's that hard
To find someone to please me
Or it could be that real true love
Sometimes don't come easy
No it don't come easy
Chorus
Yeah
that's right
We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
we talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
bout your daddy and your mother and you crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
we talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
the polish on your toes and the run in your hose and
God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talkin about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile
I wanna talk about me

We talk about your Grandpa down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size

we talk about your heart bout your brains and your smarts

You know talkin about you makes me grin

just another sundown
just another bar stool
just another place where a fool can find another fool
just another slow dance
with just another she ain't you
just another chance at feeling better than i really do
there was a time you told me you'd love me forever
but baby didn't forever get her fast
just another midnight
just another cigarette
waiting on a its gonna be alright that hasn't got here yet
yeah there was a time you told me you'd love me forever
but baby didnt forever get her fast
just another closing time
just another shot before
'I'm just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin' man
I got a, 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real cool and they got out of hand when they moved in
They call themselves the Taliban
[ooooo yeah the taliban] [taliban baby]
Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me, nah she can't stand
The Taliban [ooo taliban baby]
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban
[oh yeah the taliban] [baby]
Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would, stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said 'Now, you
knuckle-heads you better not be doin any business with the taliban'
[Taliban baby]
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
And then those big U.S. jets came flyin one night
They dropped little bombs all over our holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran
[the taliban]
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do real fine down around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair audo and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban
[oh yeah, taliban]
we'll bid a fair adieu and flip a finger to The Taliban [baby]'
I can see her lyin' back in a satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
She's been lookin' like a queen in the sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better, when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better, when I'm feelin' no pain
Y'all can probably sing this thing, can't you?
I can picture every move that a man can make
Gettin' lost in a woman is your first mistake
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better, when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
Sailed out of Biscayne Bay
Headed for the island
No map, no plans, no place to be
One broken heart to fix
So many memories
One photograph of you and me
[Chorus:]
I may be somewhere east of nowhere
Somewhere west of a town
That sits just north of an unknown latitude
I will sail this ship forever
Till I reach peace of mind
Live my life somewhere south of you
I�ve heard you say a thousand times
I�d never be a sailor
Yeah that�s one thing that I may never be
When a pirate makes his mind up
And it don�t care where he�s going
He finds a wind and ride out on the sea
[Chorus]
I will sail my ship forever
Till I reach peace of mind
Live my life somewhere south of you
theres a new wind blowin like i've never known
im breathing deeper than ive ever done
and it sure feels good...to finally feel the way i do
i wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
im lettin go of all my lonely yesterdays
ive forgiven myself for the mistakes ive made
now theres just one thing
the only thing i wanna do.
i wanna love somebody, somebody like you
(chorus)
i wanna feel the sunshine shining down on me and you
when you put your arms around me,
you let me know theres nothing in this world i cant do
i used to run in circles goin nowhere fast
id take one step forward, end up two steps back
i couldnt walk a straight line....even if i wanted to
i wanna love somebody, love somebody like you (whoa here we go now)
*musical interlude*
(chorus)
sometimes its hard for me to understand
but youre teaching me to be a better man
i dont wanna take this life granted like i used to do (nooo)
i wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
im ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
i wanna love somebody, love somebody like youuu!!!
She's sittin' by the water where the river gets wide,
Think about swimming to the other side,
Got a Malboro red, and a can of cold Bud
Toes squished down in the Arkansas mud,
Hey Mister! Yeah, I kissed her.
Son, you ought to see her sister!
You've got to give a little something to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could shake like that,
Hottie, she's a Hottie! Got a smokin' little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She's rockin' that cowboy hat
Hottie, she's a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy, yey Hey hey hey Hey
She's slappin' down a dam
Where the moss gets thick,
Yellin' Yee Haw! she's a redneck chick,
Spittin' in the fire, puttin' on a show,
Struttin like a chicken to the radio,
Hey Slick! She's a hick!
Hmmm and her butter milk lipstick
Give a little something to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could shake like that,
Hottie, she's a Hottie! She got a smokin' little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She's rockin' that cowboy hat
Hottie, she's a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Singing Kayay digidigy,
Kayay digidigy, yey Hey hey hey Hey
Dress her up boys, I took her from the farm,
I brought her downtown, I hung her on my arm,
You've got to give a little somethin' to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could walk like that!
She's a Hottie, she's a Hottie! She's got a smokin' little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She's rockin' that cowboy hat
Hottie, she's a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy, yey
Singing Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy
Yey hey Hey hey Hey
Seven Thirty-five
She's someone else’s wife.
I can get on with my life,
And that thrills me.
She married him today,
Her daddy gave the bride away.
I heard a tear roll down her face,
And that kills me.
Cause now I
Can see why,
She's finally cryin.
How was I supposed to know?
She was slowly letting go?
If I was puttin her through her hell,
Hell I couldn't tell.
She could've given me a sign,
Could've opened up my eyes.
How was I supposed to see?
She never cried in front of me.
Yea maybe I might’ve changed,
It's hard for me to say.
But the story's still the same,
It's a sad one.
And I'll always believe,
If she ever did cry for me,
They were tears that you can't see,
You know the bad ones.
And now I
Can see why
She's finally cryin.
How was I supposed to know?
She was slowly letting go?
If I was puttin her through her hell,
Hell I couldn't tell.
She could've given me a sign,
Could've opened up my eyes.
How was I supposed to see?
She never cried in front of me.
With out a doubt,
I know now
How it outta be,
Now she's gone
And it's wrong,
And it bothers me.
Tomorrow I'll still be,
Askin myself.
How was I supposed to know?
She was slowly letting go?
If I was puttin her through her hell,
Hell I couldn't tell.
She could've given me a sign,
Could've opened up my eyes.
How was I supposed to see?
How was I supposed to see?
She never cried in front of me.
Wash away my trouble, wash away my pain
With the rain of Shambala
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame

I was downtown Christmas shopping
Such a busy city street
I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet
But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way
I stopped and froze right in my tracks
As I read what it had to say
Oh Santa, if you can't find me
We're livin' out here on the street
But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you
Daddy says he knows you'll try
But we might be too hard to find this year
Oh Santa, I'm right here
It said, we don't have our house no more, I wish we could go home
Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long
But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things
Now Santa, I don't need to much, so this year could you bring
Bring my mom a coat that's warm, 'cause the one she's got is awful torn
Maybe dad could help you work, makin' toys for boys and girls
Oh Santa, if you can't find me
We're livin' out here on the street
But I'll be watchin' for you, you're not gonna forget me, are you
Daddy says he knows you'll try
But we might be too hard to find this year
Oh Santa, I'm right here
I'm right here
Sun cummin' up, over New York City
School bus driver's, in a traffic jam
Staring at the faces in her rear view mirror
Lookin' at the promise,of the promised land
One kid dreams, of fame and fourtue
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president
Chorus:
Only in America
Dreamn' in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance, everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Sun going down on a L.A. freeway
Newly weds in the back of a limosine
A welders son and a bankers daughter
All they want, is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was a singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been
Only in America
Dreamn' in red white and blue
Only in America
Only in America
Where we dream in red white and blue
Only in Amreica
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance, everybody gets to dance
Only in America
Only in America
Where we drean as big as we want to
Only in America
Got me on a short leash, tied to your screen door
I used to run with the big dogs 'til I stretched out on your front porch
Used to be a hound dog, chased a lot of fast cars
Now I don't even bark when the kitty cats stroll through the back yard
I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam
Then I caught her trail one day, followed this girl home
I ain't the same, she knows how to put my chain
They say that an old dog, can't learn a new trick
Well she taught me to stay the first day and I learned real quick
There's a doghouse, a fence and a gate latch
I keep my tail waggin' and I don't mind beggin for a good scratch
I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam
Then I met this girl one day that brought this old stray home
I ain't the same, she knows how to pull my chain
I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam
Then I caught her trail one day, followed this girl home
Old toy trains, little toy tracks,
Little toy drums, coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don't you think it's time you were in bed.
Close your eyes and listen to the skies,
All is calm and all is well,
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells.
Bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks,
Little toy drums, coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don't you think it's time you were in bed.
Close your eyes and listen to the skies,
All is calm and all is well,
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells.
Bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks,
Little toy drums, coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don't you think it's time you were in bed.
Under a old brass paper weight
is my list of things to do today.
Go to the bank and the hardware store,
put a new lock on the cellar door.
I cross 'em off as I get 'em done,
but when the sun is set
there's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet.
(chorus)
Go for a walk, say a little prayer
take a deep breath of the mountain air
put on my glove, play some catch.
It's time that I make time for that.
Wade to shore, cast a line,
look up an old lost friend of mine.
Sit on the porch, and give my girl a kiss.
Start living, that's the next thing on my list.
Wouldn't change the course of fate,
if cutting grass just has to wait.
Cause I've got more important things,
like pushing my kid on the backyard swing.
I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave.
So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today.
(Chorus)
Like, go for a walk, say a little prayer,
take a deep breath of the mountain air.
Put on my glove and play some catch,
it's time that I make time for that.
Wade to shore, cast a line,
look up an old lost friend of mine.
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss.
Start living, that's the next thing on my list.
Raise a little hell, laugh till it hurts,
put an extra five in the plate at church.
Call up my folks, just to chat.
It's time that I make time for that.
Stay up late, then oversleep.
Show her what she means to me.
Catch up on all the things I've always missed.
Just start living, that's the next thing on my list.
Under an old brass paper weight,
my list of things to do today.
I always heard that his herb was top shelf
I just could not wait to find out for myself
Don't knock it until you tried it
Well I tried it my friend
And I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed him around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
Mock (yeah)
Ing (yeah)
Bird (yeah)
Yeah ( Oh yeah)
Mokin' bird now
Everybody have you heard
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna but me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
Surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Here me now and understand
He's gonna buy me a peace of mind
And if that peace of mind don't say
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I'll ride the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear
Say yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Now everybody have you heard
Sh'e gonna buy me a mokingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
Yes,it will break this heart of mine
And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some peace of mind
Yeah, if that peace of mind don't stay
I'm gonna get myself a better way
I might rise above, I might go below
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' your ear saying
Yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Mockingbird
Yeah I might rise above, I might go below
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And tht's the reason why I'm shoutin' in your ear saying
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, no, no, no, no
Midnight in the desert
So far away
It's a fingernail moon
Dancing through the milky way
Stars down in dixie
Look the same way here
And I got your picture
Stuffed down in my battle gear
I could sing that song
You know the one that drives you wild
And close my eyes and dream
That I can kiss my baby's smile
Even the man in the moon
Is singing the blues
Hope you still love me baby
I'm missing me some you
When your head hits the pillow
To pray for my soul
That's when your little soldier
Goes out on patrol
Never thought when I kissed you
Goodbye in tennessee
That I'd ever be lonely
But I'm about as lonely as one man can be
I could sing that song
You know the one that drives you wild
I could close my eyes and dream
That I can kiss my baby's smile
Even the man in the moon
Is singing the blues
Hope you still love me baby
I'm missing me some you
I miss you baby
I could sing that song
You know the one that drives you wild
I can close my eyes and dream
I can kiss my baby's smile
Even the man in the moon
Is singing the blues
Hope you still love me baby
Cause I'm missing me some you
Oh, I hope you still love me baby
Cause I'm missing me some you
Met you in a café
At a table meant for two
You were sitting by your lonesome
When I sat down with you
Tried hard not to show it
But I couldn’t help but see
That you wore your broken heart out on your sleeve
And your loneliness could not disguise
The beauty and the charm
Thought if I ever get you, shattered lady, in my arms
Chorus:
I’m gonna rock you baby to sleep
I’m gonna make you crazy over me
I’m gonna hold you like you’ve never been held before
And love you till you tell me you can’t love anymore
I’m gonna shake your emotion right down to your soul
And then I’m gonna love you all over in and out of control
If this is how love is supposed to feel
Baby I know I’ve fallen head over heels
I’m gonna rock you baby
Over open conversation and a bottle of red wine
You said this world is full of users and I know that I’ve had mine
We danced a little slow dance until they closed that café down
You said ’what would be the chances that tonight I finally found
Someone who makes me feel like my life is just begun? ’
I said ’girl believe in me and I’ll show you how it’s done’
Chorus
I bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dillion say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
Settling down will you marry me
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please
She'd of said Yes in a New York minute
They never tied the knot
His heart wasn't in it
Stole a kiss as he road away
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place
I should've been a Cowboy
I should'be learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
I should've been a cowboy
I might of had a side kick with a funny name
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
Ending up on the brink of danger
Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
Go west yound man, haven't you been told
California's full of whisky, women and gold
Sleeping out all night beneath the Texas stars
Dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart
I should've been a Cowboy
I should'be learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
I should've been a cowboy
