Whiskey In Mind lyrics
I was down in Whiskey River
Stopped in for a drink
Minding my own business
Trying not to think
Bartender came over with a shot of his best
Said this ones from the lady in the long black dress
She came waltzing 'round the corner
Anybody sitting here
Started taking off her glasses and letting down her hair
I said thank you for the drink ma'am
How’d you know my brand?
She said there's certain things a woman can tell about a man
I said
(Chorus)
Do you like the hard kick of old Kentucky Bourbon?
Or the slow burn of Tennessee rye
Just when I thought I lost her
In petty conversation
She said slide over and kiss me
I got more than whiskey in mind
Oh man my heart was jumping
Shaking on the stool
I moved a little closer
And I tried to play it cool
The band started rockin'
It was kinda hard to hear
I order us a double
And chased it with a beer
(Chorus)
Ooooo
I started getting dizzy from the liquor on her lips
No 80 proof has ever got me buzzing like this
I love the
Man I love the
Hard kick of old Kentucky bourbon
And the slow burn of Tennessee rye
At this point in the night no need for conversation
Slide over and kiss me
I got more than whiskey
Slide over and kiss me
I got more than whiskey in mind
Yeah,
So let them say it's wrong
For me to love you.
They could never feel
The way that I do
When we kiss,
When we're close like this.
They can't see inside my soul.
They don't know the love we know,
All they do is waste their time
They can never change my mind.
It's what my heart says-
That is what I listen to.
It's what my heart feels-
That tells me, it tells me what to do.
It's what my heart knows-
And that's the only, only truth I know is real.
Well, I can't believe you're standing here
I haven't seen you in so many years.
Your pretty face hasn't changed, my dear.
Would you mind if I bought you a beer?
Just finished school,
Got my degree,
And you got yours too and you're teach
High school geometry...
All those crazy kids we used to be.
My job takes me from town to town,
Full speed ahead with the pedal down,
But seein' you
It sure takes me back to when,
We were in love.
Fallin' so fast,
Takin' on the world,
So sure that it would last.
And it was so real
And I know that it was,
Yeah, for a moment
We were in love.
I see on your finger there is a ring.
Did you go and find Mr. Everything?
Did he steal your heart?
Did the angels sing?
Sweep you off your feet just like a dream?
I can tell it did by the look in your eyes alone,
What a lucky guy.
As for me?
Don't worry, I'm doin' fine.
Yeah, my weekends are full but I won't lie-
I've brought a couple of girls back to the house
But mama always ends up asking about how you are
'Cause she swears that she knows,
We were in love.
Fallin' so fast,
Takin' on the world,
So sure that it would last.
And it was so real
And I know that it was,
Yeah, for a moment
We were in love.
And if this last time I ever see your smilin' face
I hope you always remember,
We were in love.
And it was so real
And I know that it was,
Yeah, for a moment
We were in love.
Well given the tall grass you´re livin´ in
It´s not ideal to keep fire in your life.
And the Delta Winds keep pickin´ on me
As I´m makin´ it down the line.
Sorry to burn so unexpectedly
But it ain´t goin´ out with the rain in your eyes.
Mississippi burnin´ in the middle of
The raging wind tonight
Black gold and coal´s open up the throttle
To get me the hell away
From that Mason-Dixon line.
Sit on the floor
And lock the door-
Dancin´ with a bottle.
Takin´ it home where the buffalo roam on track 29...
Track 29.
Given the tone of your delivery
And the habit of seeing me kinda blow right by,
And the Delta Winds keep trickin´ me
That I hear your words arrive.
She said she found the arms of another man.
Well to tell you the truth man
She should´ve lied.
Mississippi lyin´ in the middle
Of a bed of nails tonight.
Black gold and coal´s open up the throttle
To get me the hell away
From that Mason-Dixon line.
Sit on the floor
And lock the door-
Dancin´ with a bottle.
Takin´ it home where the buffalo roam on track 29...
Mama, how's the corn growin' out behind the house?
How's that old wind blowin' down south?
People are different out here
Like you said they´d be
But most times the one that feels different
Is me.
I can see your eyes shine
As I drove away,
You and daddy standin´ there as I was
Off to find my way...
Well, I´m your son
Shining for you.
You´re the one reason that I can
Do the things I do.
And if it wasn´t
For your wind in my sails
I´d be headin´ down stream,
Mama, you´re the reason I believe.
Things have certainly changed,
I´d say for the good
But you never doubted that they would.
Mama, I´ve never seen so many people
Who´d give it away in the race
If they could have one ounce of your faith...
If they could have
Seen your eyes shine as I drove away,
You and daddy standin´ there as I was
Off to find my way...
I´m your son
Shining for you.
You´re the one reason that I can
Do the things I do.
And if it wasn´t
For your wind in my sails
I´d be headin´ down stream,
Well I know they say all goods things
Must come to some kinda of ending
We were so damn good, I guess we never stood a chance
Go on find what you’ve been missin'
When that highway's tired of listenin'
You’ll see I’m not that easy to forget...
When a new moon shines through your window,
Or you hear a sad song on the radio,
And you don’t know why, but you just start to cry...
Or your driving round on a sunny day
And outta nowhere comes a pourin' rain,
And a memory hits you right out of the blue...
That's just me
Thinking of you
I’m not gonna try to stop you,
Doesn’t mean that I don’t want too;
If I know you, you’ve already made up your mind.
So go on and go if you're really leavin'
Put a million miles between us,
But you still feel me like I’m right there at your side
And when a new moon shines through your window,
Or you hear a sad song on the radio,
And you don’t know why, but you just start to cry...
Or you're driving round on a sunny day
And outta nowhere comes a pourin' rain,
And a memory hits you right out of the blue...
That's just me
Thinking of you
And I’m thinkin' about the road your on,
I’m thinkin' about you comin' home,
I’m wondering if you've got your radio on...
And when you find your way to another town,
And someone tries to lay you down
And a feelin' hits you right out of the blue...
It's me
Thinking of you
That's just me
A little bit of Bourbon
And a broken neon sign
Once again I'm riding shotgun
To everything that's on my mind
Just a bartender
To tell my troubles to
Well, I just haven't found a way
To say, I'm so in love with you
If you could hear it in my voice
And see it on my face
You left me with no choice
But to leave you for the chase
I-35 in the pouring rain
Aleopard skin suitcase and a pocket o' change
Last I heard she left for Dallas
So I'm checking every motel in sight
This pick-up truck aint fast enough, no
We had our problems and times are tough
I just can't believe you're leavin'
Over three words I couldn't say last night
If you could hear it in my voice
And see it on my face
You left me with no choice but
To leave you
A little Tequila
And a broken neon sign
Woh, and just a bartender
Can tell you what was on my mind
Yeah
He said you could hear it in his voice
And see it on his face
You left him with no choice
But to leave you for
Midnight's making her way
Through the lonely hotel,
So close that someone
Never heard her breathe.
Say's she's only lookin'
For the man from Haytown City,
The one who sang her a melody so sweet.
And she cries at night
Every time he packs up and moves along.
She says that she is his and only his.
She looks upon the moon
Like a great big paper moon...
A teardrop-
It gets wetter and when spring rolls along
It's hotter than hell than when we met last fall
It gets better and better every time we touch
Asticky situation we're in
We're trapped in the car and it's raining again
And girl every time it stops
Lord, I miss it so much
And I wanna take the top off
And throw it in the barn, man
And just put it in drive
Run into that
Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
In that Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
We would drive on out to the river again
Just-a prayin' to god my ship comes in
I'm just a modern day Tom but an old Huck Finn
Get my guit
Pick her out the trunk
And get pickin' boy just to bring me some luck
And I will sweep her off her feet like the southern wind
It's really comin' down now
Yeah, well
It's really comin' down now
In that Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
Yeah that Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
It's soakin' wet in the middle of the afternoon
A little honky tonk
Heavy pettin and rye
Playin' David Allen Coe
Well, please come to Boston too
Yeah, reaching for a little piece of that pie
I pray a man loves to feel the rain on his face
Well, they eat it up now
Preacher man's daughter said I was goin' to hell
And I'm a little superstitious now
Driving down the road going a hundred and ten
Braggin' to your mama's little boy he's a man
You swear you'll never feel that way again
No not 'til you're back in that
Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
Yeah that Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
Oh that Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
Yeah that Sweet Carolina Rain
(Sweet Carolina Rain)
Her blond hair blowin' in the warm wind,
Dirt road showin' where we'd been.
Throw it into "park" when it's gettin' dark,
Behind a bale of hay.
Listenin' to the rhythm of a pumpjack
Sippin' on a Coca Cola six-pack,
Swingin' our feet to the steady creak of that old tail gate.
Left the radio on and didn't say a word,
Let down her hair and took off my shirt.
We were high on summer lovin'.
We would fly and never leave the ground,
We were high on kissin' and huggin'.
And even when I think about it now,
I'm still comin' down.
Hidin' in a bed of sunflowers,
Kissin' on each other for hours,
And feelin' that rush from the first touch
Of that love we made.
We weren't drinkin' beer,
We weren't smokin' pot,
But it sure wasn't pretty when we got caught.
We were high on summer lovin'.
We would fly and never leave the ground,
We were high on kissin' and huggin'.
And even when I think about it now,
I'm still comin' down.
I wonder if she's still around,
And if she ever thinks about
Us livin' in the clouds...
Back when we were high on summer lovin'.
We would fly and never leave the ground,
Man, we were high on kissin' and huggin',
And even when I think about it now,
I'm still comin' down.
Oh, even when I think about it now,
I'm still comin' down.
Still comin' down.
Well our love story reads like a book of lies
Good intentions, better alibis
No happy endings, no straight lines
No movin’ on, but no goodbyes
This bittersweet revelry, will be the death of me
Chorus:
We go round and round, tryin’ to work it out
And all I get is hell-bent and bound
Never far from right where we are
And you would think that we’d get enough
You know we’re goin’ to fuck it up
We’re holdin’ on and sinking down
Here we go round and round
Making circles
Making circles
We both need to lead, while we dance alone
One more graceful spin, on who’s right or wrong
The same old words, the same old song
Maybe we’re right, where we belong
It can’t get much better, it sure can’t get worse
Well ether way you turn, it’s gonna hurt
Repeat Chorus.
You’d think that we had had enough
Be sick and tired of fuckin’ up
Holdin’ on, sinkin’ down
There's a little girl down south
And her daddy's got a ranch
'Bout as big as my town
And one day I swear
I'm gonna go down there and get her out
From the letter that I got last fall
She said you know you're the one I love most of all
But my face is up on the sheriff's wall
And there's reward signs posted up
And down the red river line
That I cross that very night
Trying to find my heart and looking for a fight
And there were four guards standing on the wall
I drew two six-guns
And I watched them fall
Oh yeah
Yeah
Well I came busting through them gates
Into a 12 gauge and a 38
But I was quick on the draw and I got 'em all
Yelled out to Rosa Bella
As she came walking softly through the night
Her hair so long and looking at me
With those big blue eyes
I grabbed her hand and we ran to leave
But her daddy came a-running from around a tree
And said
"Ain't no way my daughter's leaving here with no cherokee"
Oh yeah
Well, in my rage and to his surprise
I looked him deep in his buckshot eyes
And he had his hand on his gun but I was holding mine
And I'm running down this indian highway
In a ball of red
I got a loaded gun and things are goin' my way for a change
Well, you might think that I'm gonna be swingin' from a tree
Oh, no I'm a spirit boy
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
No, yeah, yeah, yeah...
(chanting)
We made love that very night
Under a burnt auburn cancun sky
I guess now I'm a Mexican
'Cause in Texas I'm a wanted man
She got up in an all-white gown
From the man who shot her daddy down
Somewhere in the heat of the night there was a shot & idots
And I'm running down this indian highway
In a ball of red
I got a loaded gun and things are goin' my way for a change
Yeah
Well, you might think that I'm gonna be swingin' from a tree
I know I'm a spirit boy
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
Yeah
I'm a spirit boy
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
Yeah
I'm a spirit boy
Yeah
Ain't nobody gonna catch me
Faded dreams and blue jeans
A Rangers cap with sweat rings
There's a hole in the sole of my favourite boots
Well I've been at it a long time
Working on that bottom line
And every shirt I've worn,
The collar's been blue.
One of these days I'm gonna jump right off that shelf
And hit the ground runnin'
At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Chorus:I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long
Warming that bench as chance moves on
And believe me, that ain't no way to live.
And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old
And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
But someday something's gotta give.
Busted hands and broken land
And black gold turned to sand
And the whiskey's the only well that's running deep
Yeah the dust devils dancin' on the mesa again
At the mercy of that west Texas wind
And the tumbleweeds, they seem to know more than me.
Oh they always find their way right out of town
They never turn back,
They keep on rolling and they don't slow down.
she was all lips and eyes
touching me
now you say you realize you can't trust me
you're mad,you're hurt
baby,I don't blame you
I can't resist a flirt
even when I aim to
don't be upset
baby,please don't fret
chorus:
she made me love you more
I forgot her the minute
she walked out the door
you wanna know what she did to me
she made me love you more
she made me love you more
she was all hips and thighs
lusting me
I'll make no alibis, honestly
deep in my heart you're the only one
you say you've torn apart by what I have done
I learned a lot
believe it or not
chorus
she was fake where you are real
I learned a lot about the way I feel
don't wanna lose you over something like this
baby forgive me
i'm a little heavy west bound and down
i got a zero in the bank on my account
and it's been a week since she's been home that's seven days of on my own
that's my number baby gonna lay my money down
my destination is dependin' on a right turn
and bright field of green
and i'm rollin' down the highway
passin' on the hardway burnin' gasoline
chorus:
i'm seein' signs up ahead in lights
vegas city limit line
tonight i'm gonna let it ride away
and i'm puttin' down everything i own
on the mercy of these bones
come on man, gob bless these seven days
well i sold my chevy for a couple hundred bucks
and i'm bettin' it all and i'm countin' on lady luck
me and destiny have made a deal
and you can't shake these nerves of steal
so come on fate let's see where we end up
my temptation's already left me with a hand
that i can't even see
but i'm gonna play'em i'm gonna hold'em
like a box car i keep rollin'
these cards ain't got nothin' on me
chorus:
i'm seein' signs up ahead in lights
vegas city limit line
tonight i'm gonna let it ride away
and i'm puttin' down everything i own
on the mercy of these bones
come on man, gob bless these seven days
well i'm gonna turn this table into a one man show
and i'm stackin' up my life to play on just one roll
well seven's my best friend in town
and yes ma'am i'll have another round
but kiss these for daddy before i let'em go... c'mon...
chorus:
i'm seein' signs up ahead in lights
vegas city limit line
tonight i'm gonna let it ride away
and i'm puttin' down everything i own
on the mercy of these bones
come on man, gob bless these seven days
i'm puttin' down everthing i own
on the mercy of these bones
Well, the last one hurt like hell,
Knocked the wind right out of my sail
And I'll heal up someday
But it's gonna leave a beauty of a scar.
And I think I'm gonna get drunk
And pull the tire iron out of my trunk
And bang up all of my fenders
Just so they can match my heart.
I'm tryin' to get myself an education.
Cry one more tear towards graduation.
'Cause every Sunday my job phones
"come back around and clean my clock,"
The bell is ringin' down at the school of hard knocks.
They're gonna inscribe my name
Down at the bridge-burnin' hall of fame
As a fool who never learned
What there ain't no future in.
So of the lessons we learned were leads
But most bring us to our knees.
I wish I could learn about love
Without all the troubles that come with it.
Tryin' to get myself an education.
Cry one more tear towards graduation.
'Cause every Sunday my job phones
"come back around and clean my clock,"
I never did have anything,
I never wanted much anyway.
I never learned how to play the game
Like the lucky few.
I was in love but it fell apart,
I never cared much from the start,
And now I keep my distance
From those happy hearts of the lucky few.
And I, I know that I'll survive.
And I, I'm glad to be alive.
But I won't be like you-
One of the lucky few.
I hang around this crazy town,
I watch these people throw their money 'round,
The second coming wouldn't slow them down-
Oh, the lucky few.
And I, I know that I'll survive.
And I, I'm glad to be alive.
But I won't be like you-
One of the lucky few.
Well I understand
That you want a man
Who won’t stir up the memories of your past.
Somebody new,
Somebody who
You can build something with that will last.
You may be surprise
To learn I realized
That I’m not the man for this position
Yeah, I’m letting go
And I thought you should know,
I hope you will respect my decision.
And if I quit that easy
And if I just walked away
How would you really feel inside?
Would you really be that happy?
Would you?
Would you wonder if the man that you’ve been wishing for had already come true
And been standing right in front of you?
Standing right in front of you.
Yeah, been standing right in front of you.
Standing right in front of you.
Standin, Standin...
Well I understand
That you have a plan
Some day soon you wanna start a family.
Well that task is done
So look all ya want
But you won’t find a better father than me.
Man I have my own dreams
And I stand by you when it seems
That no one even cares.
I’ll be your best friend.
I’ll be with you till the end.
Oh baby I’m already there.
If you quit this easy
Just let me walk away.
How would you really feel inside?
Would you really be that happy?
Would you?
Would you wonder if the man that you’ve been wishing for had already come true
Yeah been standing right in front of you?
Standing right in front of you.
Been standing right in front of you.
Standing right in front of you.
I’ve been standing right in front of you.
Standing right in front of you.
It's been a long time
Since I wore this rattlesnake smile
And a lotta my friends haven't seen it in quite a while
I feel my eyes rollin' deep inside my head
And there's a feeling of misconception in the air
Yeah, I'm startin' to see
Yeah, I do believe
I used to have a soft southern glowing face
I used to leave my heartaches with the chase
When you get stung with the heart of a little child
Well, that's how you get that rattlesnake smile
You better keep your distance
In this tangled shape I'm in
Now no one had better touch me right now
In this cold-blooded thick skin
Oh I said you better run real fast
When you hear that rattlin' sound
Well, you better run real fast, man,
Or this one's gonna knock you down
I sit alone and try to she'd this skin that I'm live in
Trying to clear my vision once again
Hah, well, I ain't no good to no one no how, not right now
'Cause I forgot to run myself and I got run down
Do I look like something you can put in a fuckin' cage!
Come over here and gimme a kiss
Yeah, I'm startin' to see
Yeah, I do believe
Better keep your distance
From this tangled shape I'm in
Now no one had better touch me right now
In this cold-blooded thick skin
Better, well, well
Now I said you better run real fast
When you hear that rattlin' sound
Oh I said you better run real fast
Or this one's gonna knock you down
And I sit alone in the desert rain
With my tail in the air
Pretty girl on every corner
Sunshine turns the sky to gold
Warm warm, it's always warm here
I can't take the cold
Streets littered with diamonds
Every one's glistening
This whole world shines so brightly
I can't see a thing
Pretty as a picture
Seems like a golden rain
Settles me with love and laughter
I can't feel a thing
The sky's gonna open
People gonna pray and crawl
It's gonna rain down fire
It's gonna burn us all
The sky's gonna open
People gonna pray and sing
Oh, I can't feel a thing
Pretty as a picture
She is like a golden dream
Fills me with love and laughter
And I-I I can't feel a thing
The skys gonna open
People gonna pray and crawl
It's gonna rain down fire
It's gonna burn us all
The sky's gonna open
People gonna pray and sing
And I can't feel a thing
The weather man says he's never seen
Temperatures rise as high as these in a long time.
Yeah, but we don't mind.
The car's lined up at the edge of the lake,
The radio's on and everybody's takin' the swing in the tree,
Not you and me.
Oh, that's just a waste of time,
We like how it feels just fine.
We're hot and sticky as we can get,
Don't need to take a swim to be soakin' wet,
You lean in and you bite my lip,
It's hard to be cool in heat like this.
Sweat drop at the end of your nose,
Makes you lose your mind and lose your clothes,
Let's kiss right here,
Why go inside,
Baby we're set to a permanent 99.
The movie house says it's cool inside,
We just laugh and drive right by,
With the windows up,
''ooo'' It feels good to us.
'Cause all I wanna do when you look like that,
Is watch an ice cube roll down the small of your back,
And just melt away,
Yeah, I could watch that all day.
Close your eyes and read my mind,
Let's go somewhere watch the mercury climb.
We're hot and sticky as we can get,
Don't need to go swimin' to be soakin' wet,
You lean in and you bite my lip,
It's hard to be cool in heat like this.
Sweat drop at the end of your nose,
Makes you lose your mind and lose your clothes,
Let's kiss right here,
Why go inside,
Baby we're set to a permanent 99.
Close your eyes and read my mind,
Let's go somewhere watch the mercury climb
Well I've got this old TV
That you left behind.
And I've got a better me
It took so long to find.
And I've got a lot of nerve
To ask you back at all.
And I put this picture of you and me
On the hole in the wall.
Ain't touched a bottle in so long
'Cause now the only thing I ain't got
Was kinda hoping you'd prove me wrong
And give me one more shot, give me one more shot.
Well, I've got this old shag rug
We used to crawl on.
And I've got this telephone
You used to call me on.
But since that last goodbye
Well, that phone don't ring.
I've got this empty home
Filled with so many things.
Ain't touched a bottle in so long
'Cause now the only thing I ain't got
Was kinda hoping you'd prove me wrong, yeah
And give me one more shot, give me one more shot.
Oh, give it to me.
Six pack

Wet roads
Heavy loads
Runnin' lotsa Friday nights
The boys are in the back
With a bottle and a steel guitar
Hollywood sunset
Haven't seen the worst yet
Singin' songs at the top of our lungs
Smackin' everybody's hands
As they're slidin' through the alley
And we dive into the local bar
Well, rain or shine

Well, I say okay L.A. let's show 'em me!
Now don't be scared of the fiddle
You can dance to this just fine
Get yourself in an Oklahoma state of mind
Cut off t-shirts and leather mini skirts
With the big armed boys and red red girls
Cowboy hats and Tony Lama's

She got her lipstick on bright
Her jeans on too tight
And it ain't my fault she drug
You out here tonight
Trustin' me to force em in
And getting' me to get it all night
Well if you nip off skin
You might get knocked on your behind
Well forgive me
I'm in an Oklahoma state of mind
Well they're stringin' beers
And we'll dance on into the night
Yeah
Mhmmm, Yeah
Livin' with me, it ain't easy
But I do it every day
Sometimes even now
I wanna run away
But there you are
You're tryin' to please me
Yeah you stand your ground
It's more than I deserve
I've taken more than I've been given
I've taken for granted this life I'm livin'
I don't know why heaven above
Blessed me with your sweet love
Though I never tell you what you're worth
It's more than I deserve
It's just your style to wear a smile
Oh baby you wear it well
If I had my way, I'd dress you in nothin' else
So come on here and lay down, a little while
'Cause you right now
You're more than I deserve
I've taken more than I've been given
I've taken for granted this life I'm livin'
And I don't know why heaven above
Blessed me with your sweet love
Though I never tell you what you're worth
It's more than I deserve
I've taken more than I've been given
I've taken for granted this life I'm livin'
And I don't know why heaven above
Blessed me with your sweet love
Though I never tell you what you're worth
That's 'cause it's more than I deserve
Taken more than I've been given
And I've taken for granted this life I'm livin'
And I don't know why heaven above
Blessed me with your sweet love
Though I never tell you what you're worth
Thank god it's a Saturday night
Down by the riverside.
Cheerleaders in the back of the bed
With them tailgates down.
Speakers up and the radio on
Don't matter who's singing a song.
Country music or Rock'n'Roll-
We'll play it all night long.
Just raising a little hell.
Ain't nobody went to jail.
Oooh, all the stories we could tell...
Long-legged blond in the pale moonlight
Probably caused a friendly fight,
That's what you get when you hang with them
Girls of summer.
Big time dreams and small town nights.
Hank Jr. and Fred Dust saved our lives
Smack dab in the middle of a middle
American Saturday night.
Tammy painted a heart on a sign that says:
"Bobby Joe 'till the day I die."
She thinks he's gonna settle down
But she's wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
'Cuz Bobby Joe's looking out for the sheriff
He's riding high on an oil derrick
And he yells
"I ain't comin' down 'till you play my favorite song."
Well, I was on the roof of my car
Playing my air guitar
And nobody could tell me I wasn't born to be a star.
Long-legged blond in the pale moonlight
Probably caused a friendly fight,
That's what you get when you hang with them
Girls of summer.
Big time dreams and small town nights.
Hank Jr. and Fred Dust saved our lives
Smack dab in the middle of a middle
American Saturday night.
Just raising a little hell.
Ain't nobody went to jail.
Oooh, all the stories we could tell...
Long-legged blond in the pale moonlight
Will probably caused a friendly fight,
That's what you get when you hang with them
Girls of summer.
Big time dreams and small town nights.
Hank Jr. and Fred Dust saved our lives.
Smack dab in the middle of a middle
American Saturday night.
Long-legged blond in the pale moonlight
Probably caused a friendly fight,
That's what you get when you hang with them
Girls of summer.
Big time dreams and small town nights.
Johnny Cash and Kid Rock saved our lives.
Smack dab in the middle of a middle
American Saturday night
Middle American Saturday...
An American Saturday night
Yeah
Mary and her man live in a two-bedroom beside me.
Used to see her in the hall
And I'd her on the street
But lately she ain't comin' around no more
She hides indoors
Afraid of what the world might say if they knew,
What I know.
Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the sunshine?
Maybe then you could tell me why,
All in all you seem to have it all
So why do you cry?
I hear you through the walls at night,
Mary, can you come outside?
It's 2 am and the battle starts again,
I pray for your innocence in a war you'll never win.
Should I just sit here on these hands of mine
One more time?
Or should I use them to do what he
Does to you?
Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the moonlight.
Maybe then you could tell me why,
All in all you seem to have it all
So why do you cry?
I hear you through the walls at night,
Mary, can you come outside?
Should I just sit here on these hands of mine
One more time?
Or should I use them to do what he...
Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk with me in the moonlight?
Maybe then you could tell me why,
All in all you seem to have it all
So why do you cry?
I hear you through the walls at night.
Oh Mary, can you come outside?
Take a walk, take a walk with me tonight?
Maybe then you could tell me why...
Mary, can you come outside?
You know, there's only two things in life that make it worth livin'
That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women.
I don't need my name in the marquee lights
I got my song and I've got you with me tonight.
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys.
This successful life we're livin' got us feuding
Like the Hatfields' and McCoy's.
Between Hank Williams' pain songs, Newberry's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain,
Out in Luckenbach Texas
Baby, ain't nobody feelin' no pain.
So baby let's sell your diamond ring
And buy some boots and faded jeans and let's go away.
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high society where you cry all day.
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
A four car garage and we're still building on,
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.
''Ah, hell''
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys.
This successful life we're livin' got us feuding
Like the Hatfields' and McCoy's.
Between Hank Williams' pain songs, Newberry's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain,
Oh out in Luckenbach Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain.
''Ah, man''
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Shooter and Waylon and the boys.
Now, this successful life we're livin' got us feuding
Like the Hatfields' and McCoy's.
Between Hank Williams' pain songs and Jerry Jeff's train songs
And blue eyes cryin' in the rain,
Out in Luckenbach Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain.
Yeah, well out in Luckenbach, Texas, baby
"Let's Take A Drive"
So he's gone and left you all alone?
You think the better of your years
Were spent with him.
The little girl who used to dance
On fire and brimstone
Is all but dead.
Where's the girl I knew that held
A lighter up to the radio,
She'd do anything she wants
Because she can?
We were seventeen and wild
And we were jumpin' on the Devil's bed...
I didn't raise you like that.
I taught you lessons about freedom
Strapped to the bucket of a 455.
I lit your hair on fire
Racing ten mile flats
Where American heavy metal thrives.
Oh we were waitin' and wishin'
On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line.
When you rat-a-tat tatted on the glass
And you screamed on high,
I'm alive.
You can say that cat is long gone
I bet you look real hard
You can find that girl within
She's probably waitin' in the wings
For you to come along.
To let her out again
You need a quarter mile, a bunch of horses,
And some gasoline.
I taught you lessons about freedom
Strapped to the bucket of a 455.
I lit your hair on fire
Racing ten mile flats
Where American heavy metal thrives.
Oh we were waitin' and wishin'
On pink slips and kisses at the end of the line.
When you rat-a-tat tatted on the glass
And you screamed,
I'm alive.
I'm alive
You wanna meet a girl I used to know,
They were sitting on his tailgate
And she was loving on his roughneck
And she was talking about running away
And he was puffin' on his cigarette
Just thinkin' (huh)
"How am I gonna say goodbye?"
He said, Girl you got it good here
And you don't need to mess with
A guy going nowhere
She said how's about Texas?
Then he said, Ain't you been listening?
It's never gonna work out
And I think it'd be a good time now to
Let me go
You don't need me baby
Stop holding on the way you are
Don't you know I'm no good for you
And it'll only break you heart
If you don't
Let me go
He said other than a dreamer
I ain't nothing but a drifter
You could do a lot better
Then he leaned over and he kissed her
He said you got another year of college
And a good momma and a daddy
And me, I got $93 and this old '82 Chevy
So let me go
You don't need me baby
Stop holding on the way you are
Don't you know I'm no good for you
and it'll only break your heart
If you don't
Let me go
She said, nice try
But you can't hide behind those shades there on your
face
Ya see I don't think you're all that tough
I just think you're scared of love
And I think I won't take up that much space
So let me go
Take me with you baby
I belong where you are
We both know that you're not as strong as you think you
Let me go
Take me with you baby
I belong where you are
Don't you know I'm so good for you
And it'll only break your heart
Down the road
If you don't
Let me go
With you baby
Let me go
With you baby
Pretty girl on every corner
sunshine turns the sky to gold
warm, warm, its always warm here
i can't take the cold
street littered with diamonds
everyone is glistening
this whole world shines so brightly
i can't see a thing
she's pretty as a picture
she is like a golden ring
circles me with love and laughter
an i can't feel a thing
sky's gonna open
poeple gonna pray and crawl
it's gonna rain down fire
it's gonna burn us all
the skys gonna open
poeple gonna pray and sing
i can't feel a thing
she's pretty as a picture
she is like a golden ring
circles me with love and laughter
an i can't feel a thing
sky's gonna open
poeple gonna pray and crawl
it's gonna rain down fire
it's gonna burn us all
skys gonna open
people gonna pray and sing
i can't feel a thing
I guess I oughta tell you what's been going on
Well I've been chasing dreams for everyone but me.
When your heart is filled with misery
It's hard to find the energy
To remember just how much she means to me.
Well I keep everything inside so long till it burns
Everybody stokes the fire and the walls get a little higher.
I light the candle at both ends
And I hit the gas, the wheels start to spin
But she's always there to catch me when I fall.
'Cause I've been hell on wheels for days now
There ain't a shade of red I can't paint
When the lights go down, she always helps me see.
In the darkness a day will come
Another light for you to lean upon
But until then maybe your heart
Can rest in mine.
I just can't get the hang of hanging on
Every time I try to grab it, the will is gone.
When she looks into my eyes
She sees a man she used to recognize
And not the stranger trying to go it all alone.
Maybe someday I'll see exactly what she sees in me.
Maybe someday I'll be exactly who she wants me to be.
Maybe someday I'll have the strength to run into the man that I once was
But right now I think I'll walk into a crawl.
'Cause I've been hell on wheels for days now
There ain't a shade of red I can't paint
When the lights go down, she always helps me see.
In the darkness a day will come
Another light for you to lean upon
But until then maybe your heart
I spend my life
A little left of honest livin'.
I hope God will be forgivin'
When I'm done.
Take a little more time
And give it to the friends I'm missing
And lend a little more ear and listen to everyone.
Oh, I'm set on changin' my ways.
I'll make sure
I make the best of what's yet to come.
Laugh a little bit more while I'm still young.
Yeah, yeah
Put a smile back in style.
I'll make sure
I make my daddy proud enough.
Go all in and get lucky in love.
Yeah, yeah
Oh, that's how I'm living now.
Well I still get it on
A little more than I probably should
But I never claimed to be too good to do a little wrong.
Come mornin' light
I hit the ground get up and go
And it feels so good for me to know
I'm where I belong,
Right here,
Yeah today.
I'll make sure
I make the best of what's yet to come.
Laugh a little bit more while I'm still young.
Yeah, yeah
Put a smile back in style.
I'll make sure
I make my daddy proud enough.
Go all in and get lucky in love.
Yeah, yeah
Oh, that's how I'm living now.
I'll make sure
I make the best of what's yet to come.
Laugh a little bit more while I'm still young.
Yeah, yeah
Put a smile back in style.
I'll make sure
I make my daddy proud enough.
Go all in and get lucky in love.
Yeah, yeah
I'll make sure
I make the best of what's yet to come.
Laugh a little bit more while I'm still young.
Yeah, yeah
Put a smile back in style.
I'll make sure
I make my daddy proud enough.
Go all in and get lucky in love.
Yeah, yeah
Oh, that's how I'm living now.
So you're tired and beat
And you've worked all week
And you need a place you can let it go.
Where the girls go wild
And the boys play hard
And you need a little more than just the radio.
Well here's your open invitation
With just a couple regulations.
Let me warn you son, only come to have fun
We don't take kindly to serious.
So leave your troubles at the door
Unless you want some in here.
Welcome to my house, buckle up tight
Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.
It's a country music, a little soul, it's a rock 'n roll rodeo.
We don't tolerate no sitting around
Everybody's dancin', groovin' and getting on down.
So before you come in here with some kind of attitude
You better read the house rules.
Around eleven o'clock when the front door locks
And the boys start raising the bottle.
Where the girls do the thing with the Mardis Gras beads
And you know they're gonna show 'em if they got 'em.
No matter what your story, a good time is mandatory.
Well rule number 7 says don't touch the women
But they can grab whatever they want to.
Welcome to my house, buckle up tight
Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.
It's a country music, a little soul, it's a rock' n roll rodeo.
We don't tolerate no sitting around
Everybody's dancing,' groovin' and getting on down.
So before you come in here with some kind of attitude
You better read the house rules.
No such thing as last call.
We pick 'em up when they fall .
We share the same bathroom stall,
Says the sign on the wall. (1, 2, 3)
Yeah, welcome to my house, buckle up tight
Everybody sings and drinks, laughs & gets high.
It's a country music, a little soul, it's a rock n roll rodeo.
We don't tolerate no sitting around
Everybody's dancin', groovin' and getting on down.
So before you come in here with some kind of attitude
Boy, before you come a walkin' in here with any kind of attitude
You better read the house rules.
Aww son, you better read the house rules.
Well throw me under the train,
Tie me down to the track,
Let them big ole' wheels roll right over my back,
I'll have a smile on my face
All the way to the promise land.
Well toss me out of the plane,
Watch me fall to the ground,
No I don't care
If my body ever gets found,
The way you're lovin' me baby,
I can die a happy man.
Now that I've tasted all your squeezin' and a touchin'
Baby there ain't nothing I'd miss.
There ain't no reason now for me to go on living
Only heaven could be better than this.
So stuff me into a barrel,
Lock some chains on my hands,
Take me down to the river
And send me over the dam,
The way you're lovin' me baby,
I can die a happy man.
"Yes I can"
Now that I've had a little shot of your affection
I can't imagine nothing I'd miss.
There ain't no reason now for me to go on living
Only heaven could be better than this.
So throw me under the train,
Tie me down to the track,
Let them big ole' wheels roll right over my back,
The way you're lovin' me baby,
I can die a happy man.
Oh, yeah,
The way you're lovin' me baby,
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout boy
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Headed back to my favorite Dairy Queen
'Cause of the picture perfect woman in red at the screens.
"I'll pick you up at 5'o'clock
And we'll go down to the lake
Pick our favorite scenes
And (?)the dock and (?)"
Watch the sun paint a watercolor sky,
With your arms around me baby,
What a damn good way to die.
Well, I love livin' in this town,
I love this canvas that we've found,
Where we begin to fade
You and me could paint
Whatever to hell it is we want to see.
I, I can't believe
How wonderful the world is gonna be.
I, I'm on my knee
Watching you fade into... me.
Lets take a walk down old Tacosa road
With a little honeysuckle in your hair
And a little red flair between your toes.
Don't treat me like a (?)
You know it was meant to be,
And who would have thought
There was a time when all I wanted to do was leave.
I found out all of the places I want to take
To erase my destinations,
Girl, and color it in your faith.
You took all my scars from me
And the signs say "Just believe,"
If you close your eyes
And take her hand
You could see things that you could never see.
I, I can't believe
How wonderful the world is gonna be.
I, I'm on my knee
Watching you fade into...
Me, I dream of ice on an open road
Because you took your fingers and you painted me a home
And you draw it just a little outside the lines
Coloring the one I'd left behind...
You'd run,
And you'd watch,
And you'd fade...
Into me.
I, I can't believe
How wonderful the world is gonna be.
I, I'm on my knee
Watching you fade into...
I can't believe
How wonderful the world is gonna be.
I, I'm on my knee
I've still got my job,
Still got my woman,
And my dog didn't die,
My family's alright,
I ain't runnin' from nothing,
I didn't have me a bad day,
I got a pretty good life
But I won't let that stand in the way
Of me rockin' tonight.
Well I ain't got no reasons,
I ain't got no excuse,
I don't really feel lonesome,
I don't really feel blue,
No it ain't cause she left me,
This ain't what you think,
Tonight I ain't drinkin' to drown anything
I'm just drinkin' to drink.
Now don't point your finger,
Please understand
That most of the time
I walk a straight line
The best that I can
But I love me a cold beer
In a tall frosty glass,
So later tonight
When you look up and find
That I'm drunk off my ass.
Well I ain't got no reasons,
I ain't got no excuse,
I don't really feel lonesome,
I don't really feel blue,
No it ain't cause she left me,
This ain't what you think,
Tonight I ain't drinkin' to drown anything
I'm just drinkin' to drink.
No it ain't cause she left me,
I don't need a good shrink,
Oh no, tonight I ain't drinkin' to drown anything
Man I'm drinkin' to drink.
Oh tonight I ain't drinkin' to drown anything
Now, I ain't gonna lie
Well, I've been drinking here all night
With an old friend of mine
Her name is Misery.
I ain't been crying
No I'm having a real good time with Miss Communications
She always talks to me.
I've got a lot of friends like them
They always meet me here to have a beer so I won't be alone
I never meant to bring them home.
I just called to tell you
That I was wrong and you were on my mind.
If you want I will leave you alone right now
'Cause I know why you said, why you said
Don't come home.
I bet you're with him
Yeah, I heard you found somebody new
He probably listens to you
Like I never did.
Wish I was in your arms
Instead of talking to this machine about all the things I didn't do
Oh, what else is new?
I've spent a lot of time like that
Playin' memories and drinkin' remedies so I won't be alone
I still can't believe you're gone.
I just called to tell you
That I was wrong and you were on my mind.
If you want I will leave you alone right now
'Cause I know why you said, why you said
Don't come home.
Don't come home, no no, no.
Don't come home.
I spent the last days anywhere you could be found,
And I'd give anything if you'd turn back around
Anyways...
I just called to tell you
Can I cut in on a dance?
You ain't gonna find what you're lookin' for
In that little Mexican.
You can't mix your tears
With those from an agave plant,
You see I've danced with him myself
And he's never been a friend.
You go believin' in your Lancelot
Well it's all in vain
And you're chasin' picket fences,
There's always hell to pay.
I met many a girl in here
With the same story line-
All them boys on those white horses
Don't know how to ride.
But I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
To be free.
I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
And a hint of gasoline.
See I'm a different kind of knight,
You're gonna find your fairy tales are lies.
I don't have a white horse
But you can come along for the ride.
She said, "I'm tired of living life in a romance book
I think chivalry's dead
And I ain't gonna look
For them roundtable boys on the white horse
That can't get the story right."
I said, "as luck would have it
I was tossed by the throne
I let my Mary Ann down
Some years ago
And I traded my coat of arms
For a guitar and some broken yellow lines."
But I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
To be free.
I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
And a hint of gasoline.
See I'm a different kind of knight,
You're gonna find your fairy tales are lies.
I don't have a white horse
But you can come along for the ride.
She kinda shifted in her seat a little bit
The thought of every eye on her bee-stung lips
And she raised that glass and the lime
And she kissed him goodbye.
She said, "promise me you'll take it slow
And swear no talk of tomorrow
And when you feel me tighten around you
Well you can let the hammer down."
And I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
To be free.
I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
And a hint of gasoline.
See I'm a different kind of knight,
You're gonna find your fairy tales are all lies.
I don't have a white horse
Angels are dancing in my head again
And it keeps my walking pace a little faster than
What it used to be
'Cause she found me
Now there's dancing in my head
Am I crazy?
Well, yes, I am
I don't think that it seems really all that strange
When I'm skipping down the road singin' her name
But if you could see her walk across a crowded room
Then you would understand why i go insane
The way she glistens in the moonlight
The way she outshines the star brighter than any sun
Well angels are singing in my head again
And I don't mind saying that sometimes I understand
I'm writing this lullaby
The coyotes cry
Well, they're singing in my head
Am I crazy?
Well, yes, I am
And I don't think that it seems really all that strange
When I'm outside doing cartwheels in the rain
But if you could see her walk across a crowded room
Then would understand why i go insane
The way she glistens in the moonlight
The way she outshines the star brighter than any sun
Oh, then I tell you man well, yeah
Well, I just can't get enough
'Cause I'm
Crazy in Love
And I don't think that it seems really all that strange
When I'm skipping down the road singin' her name
But if you could see her walk across a crowded room
Then you would understand why I go insane
Yeah
Well, angels are laughing in my head again
I can see them laughing but I just don't give a damn
'Cause see it's you and me
Well, she ought to be
And there's angels in her head
Am I in love?
Yes, I am
C'mon!
I had a rag top Cadillac rolling Sunset Boulevard
And I had a hold of a centerfold and a Tony Montana cigar
I had the top down, a rock and roll sound palms blowing in the breeze
Sounds like a paradise, hmmm, someone save me please
Chorus.
Calling all country women
I sure missed you all since I’ve been gone
Calling all country woman
Well them uptown girls, they just ain’t down home (down home)
Yeah well Miss New York, after midnight, down at the bungalow 8
And through the super models, crystal bottles, she started walking my way
She had a gin and tonic, manolo blahniks and that dolce and gabbana suit
I said damn you’re fine, but have you ever tried jeans and cowboy boots?
Chorus.
Calling all country women
I sure missed you all since I’ve been gone
Hey well I’m Calling all country woman
Well them uptown girls, they just ain’t down home (down home)
From the honky tonks, dives and pubs, bars and clubs from all across the land
Well the daisy duking, dixie chicken pig tail wearing girls with farmer tan
Chorus.
Calling all country women
I sure missed you all since I’ve been gone
Hey well I’m Calling all country woman
Well them uptown girls, they just ain’t down home
Chorus.
I' m calling all country women
Well these uptown girls could sure use a little bit of down home
and I’m calling all country women
this good ol’ boy loves gettin’ on down home
Next up the number one night siren,
Metal fame and a soft-tail ride.
And it feels like a little white lightening
As they smoke the stage and dim the lights.
And every time they call her name
Oh man, they whole damn place ignites.
And it's feels like an F5 touchdown
When those high heels come to life.
''Chorus''
And she rollin' holdin' what she will not show them when the money's there, man
She will know just what to do.
She comes around now playing the downtown and hitting the House
Instead of making the boom and loading the sawed-off and kicking the dog
And everything she do, well she'll do for you.
Here she comes again with her flags in the wind and the fire she traded for her name,
And the best thing o do is let 'er burn right through on a collision with a southbound train.
Take another hit of that 98 octane
To cool your body down.
And it's just like a locomotive when those steel legs spin around.
And every time they call her name
Yeah boy, she's taking your nine to five.
Can you feel that tomahawking as she cuts you with her eyes.
''Chorus''
And she rollin' holdin' what she will not show them when the money's there, man
She will know just what to do.
She comes around now playing the downtown and hitting the House
Instead of making the boom and loading the sawed-off and kicking the dog
And everything she do, well she'll do for you.
Here she comes again with her flags in the wind and the fire she traded for her name,
And the best thing o do is let 'er burn right through on a collision with a southbound train.
''mmm'', You're standing on the runway.
Boys, you better clear the train tracks.
After 12:27 down to O.K.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
''Guitar Solo / Bridge''
Here she come again with her flags in the wind and the fire she traded for her name
And the best thing o do is let 'er burn right through on a collision with a southbound train.
Here she come again with her flags in the wind and the fire she traded for her name
Well down in Panama City they’ve perfected the art of the tan
And those Oklahoma girls, they sure know why they call it heartland
Oh, and up in Seattle, boy they’ll have you praying for rain
And those Tempe, Arizona women will have you beggin’ for shade
And from that valley girl talk to that southern belle drawl
Oh my God, hey hey y’all
Chorus:
My girl, she’s American made, (Raised right here in the USA)
My girl, she’s American made, (Hotter than an Independence July day)
She loves flag-flyin’, hot apple pie, Cold beer at a football game
My girl, she’s American made
Well there’s a Tennessee girl that will always have a place in my heart
Andthose Broadway beauties, they sure know how to play their parts
Well Louisiana ladies got a mojo that make you want to stay
Yeah but there’s a city full of angels always waitin’ for me home in LA
I could hang down in Texas while them girls sing along
Livin’ on Lone Star beer and Pat Green songs
Repeat Chorus.
She loves flag-flyin’, hot apple pie, Cold beer at a baseball game
My girl, she’s American made.Yeah my girl, is American made
My girl…
(Raised right here in the USA)
Gettin’ knee deep in that Alabama red clay
(She’s American made, Raised right here in the USA)
Oh up in Indiana, man rolling in the hay
(She’s American made, Raised right here in the USA)
And over in Hawaii, you can find yourself Lai’ed
(She’s American made, Raised right here in the USA)
She’s got a tattoo on her ass that says U.S.D.A.
We cut through the backwoods of the Harrison farm
Jumped over the rock fence under Mr. Jenkins' barn
Made a beeline down choctaw bend to the pawnee bridge and ran into town
Raced that train to the tracks without slowing down
We went to see the mason man at old man James' store
And those rocking chairs weren't rocking
The answers are gone
And there's a sign that said "Closed" on the door
Turned around and ran back to the tracks
To who the kids had come to call the Reverend railroad Miller Jack
And he'd give you sermons and songs
All his rights and what's wrongs
He would sling his guitar with a flag across his lap and he'd say
"Settle down now
You kids are gonna be okay
Settle down now
The boys and girls are fighting for you today
Settle down now
I'm gonna tell you what you wanna believe"
Well he said
"You dedicate your soul for god, country and Rock 'n Roll
And get America high
And get America high"
We filed them questions one by one
And he knocked 'em down to the ground
While we stood there in line
He said
"I fought with your daddy, child, off the coast of hell in the summer of 1969"
Well I was born in the Vietnam war
And he died later that same year
But this country is my rock and my soul rolls from my faith in god
And that's what keeps me here
"Settle down now
You kids are gonna be okay
Settle down now
The boys and girls are fighting for you today
Settle down now, settle down"
Well he said
"You dedicate your soul for god, country and Rock 'n' Roll
And get America high
And get America high
My faith is real
And my hope is true.
Some kinda feelin'
That I share with you.
I'm gonna keep on believin'
Anyway that I can.
And all I wanna do is hold on to the memory of you.
And all I wanna do is talk to that someone I knew.
Straight from my heart tangled in blues
I tell myself I'm not missin' you,
When as long that it's over
I'll still think of you.
A little out of place
No it ain't my sort of thing
But it makes her smile
So it's alright by me
And this may not be my scene
But I lie every time
'Cause I feel richer than anybody here
With her by my side
We said goodbye
With some kisses and some words
But all I heard
Is "How'd he get a girl like that?"
I caught myself in the mirror
And couldn't help but see
How beautiful I look with her
Standing next to me
And her friends all say
In a shushed kinda way
"Man how'd he get a girl like that?
How's a girl from the hill
Find life in a billy
From the wrong side of the tracks?"
Well at the end of the day
Breaking my back
Something you know nothing about
All I did was love her
All I did was love her
Well all I am
Oh, is how she looks at me
And she loves my ways
She never judges anything
When I feel wrong
I come around to feeling right
And how lucky do I feel with her
Lying next to me tonight
And her friends all say
In a shushed kinda way
"Man how'd get a girl like that?
Hows a girl from the hill
Find life in a billy
From the wrong side of the tracks?"
Well at the end of the day
Breaking my back
Something you know nothing about
All I did was love her
All I did
Was hold her inside of a working man's arms
And never let her go
And at the end of the sun on a long hard day
Keep the fires burning at home
Yeah
Ooh at the end of the day
Breaking my back
Something you know nothing about
All I did was love her
Six pack
Stereo
20 minutes to the show
Wet roads
Heavy loads
Runnin' lotsa friday nights
The boys are in the back
With a bottle and a steel guitar
Hollywood sunset
Haven't seen the worst yet
Singin' songs at the top of our lungs
Smackin' everybody's hands
As they're slidin' through the alley
And we drive into the local bar
Well, rain or shine
Yeah, man
We're in an Oklahoma state of mind
Pop stars
Porn stars
Sixty thousand dollar cars
Hollywood women with the venom still in 'em
They got my TV rights
Your dirty cosmopolitan and wine
We got Nascars
Strip bars
American made cars
Country rockin' women now to get up and get 'em
We got Budweiser beer
Jim Beam
Jack
Tequila and lime
Well, everybody's got their own definition of just their kind
Not me
I'm in an Oklahoma state of mind
Well, don't be scared of the rhythm
You can dance to this just fine
Yeah, put yourself in an Oklahoma state of mind
Yeah
When the hollywood nights come then here I'll stay
And there's a big attitude in dallas way
Well, Isay O.K.L.A.H.O.M.A!
Now don't be scared of the fiddle
You can dance to this just fine
Get yourself in an Oklahoma state of mind
Cut off T-Shirts and leather mini skirts
With the big armed boys and red red girls
Cowboy hats and tony lama's
Crimson and wine
She got it if you don't write
You're jeans aren't too tight
And it ain't my fault she caught
You out here tonight
Trustin me to force em in
And getting' me to get it all night
Well if you nip off again
You might get knocked on your behind
Sweat Boy
Yeah, man
I'm in an Oklahoma state of mind
Well they're stringin' beers
And we'll dance on into the night
Yeah
