She might be
Living in Dallas
Or Denver, Colorado
I know she likes it cold
She might have packed and moved back
To Alabama
There's no tellin' where she is
But there's one thing I know
Chorus:
She's a whole lotta gone
And we're a whole lotta through
How can I hold on
When there's nothing to hold on to
There's a whole lotta difference
Between love and alone
And when you add up the distance
She's a whole lotta gone
Well I was wrong
And I admit it
I took a lot for granted
Just a little at a time
But I still can't believe
She went and did it
At night I dream
Where she might be
Just to wake up and find
(Chorus)
I know she ain't comin' back
That's just the way it is
Say it any way you want
But it comes right down to this
(Chorus)
When you add up the distance
She's a whole lotta gone

This is your brain makin' everything make sense,
Countin' those nickels and dimes.
This is your brain balancin' on the fence, walkin' that logical line.
This is your brain got it all under control, both hands on the wheel.
Stay in your lane, keepin' it tame, this is your brain.
(Chorus)
Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window,
And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name.
And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin'
And you're crazy over everything she does.
You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love.
This is your brain buddy you can handle this,
Gotta just get a grip.
This is your brain man there ain't a woman alive,
That you cain't resist.
This is your brain baby, just slow on down,
Don't want to jump the tracks.
You can refrain, keep it contained, this is your brain.
(Chorus)
You think that you're too clever now, to ever fall again,
And your medulla oblongata says, boy get out while you can.
(Chorus)
You ain't insane, this is your brain on love.

I know you're holding your breath, yu're wondering what's coming next
Can't be too careful this time
No love ain't something you trust, you've seen a little too much
Of the quittin' kind
That pain you're wrestling with I know right where it lives
Been there a couple of times
Always almost in tears
Living in fear of the quittin' kind
If you don't know what you've got
I'll tell you one thing it's not
It's not the kind of love that would turn and run
This one's steady and strong
This one will keep going on and on and on
Till the end of time, it ain't the quittin' kind
You don't have to be scared we're not going back there
We're going to leave it behind
All that sorrow and grief
Those bad memories of the quittin' kind
If you don't know what you've got
I'll tell you one thing it's not
It's not the kind of love that would turn and run
This one's steady and strong
This one will keep going on and on and on
Till the end of time, it ain't the quittin' kind
This one is steady and strong
This one will keep going on and on and on
To the end of time, it ain't the quittin' kind
Quittin' kind no, no, no

She's more than I could ever ask for
More than I deserve
Why am I the lucky one
Who means the world to her
She's the best of everything
Sometimes I think it's all a dream
Chorus:
She loves me
It's like my heart just can't believe
Whe loves me
She could have most anyone she pleased
But she loves me
She's the one who takes my hand and
Takes my breath away
Takes me where I want to go
And where I want to stay
She turns to me and says my name
And I feel things I can't explain
(Chorus)
She's the best of everything
Sometimes I think it's all a dream

It was raining harder in Houston
When I ran into her
I searched for conversation
But I was lost for words
Then a cloud of tear-filled memories
Came crashing down on me
If it hadn't been for the pouring rain
I'm sure she would have seen
Chorus:
Tears in the rain
Hiding the pain
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
She thinks I'm so strong
Oh, but she's so wrong
She just can't see these tears in the rain
Now I regret that moment
'Cause I didn't let her know
How much I still loved her
I was hoping it would show
But the raindrops and the teardrops
Ran together on my face
Now she'll never ever know
No one could take her place
(Chorus)
She thinks I'm so strong
Oh, but she's so wrong

Downtown, stoplight, red car rolls by, what else can I do
But wonder if it's you
Scanning the stations, every song they're playin' is like a soundtrack
To the love we had
I should be over you by now
But every time I turn around
It's always somethin', every day remindin' me
Everywhere I go, there's a memory
Ready and awaitin' to catch me off guard
There's no way to prepare my heart
What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do
If only I could just stop missin' you
I'd let go of our love, like it was never nothing
But it's always something
Lunch time, a new place, waitress says her name
Why does it have to be, Emily?
Corner store, stop in, someone ask, "How you been?"
I say, ?I wouldn't know, I really gotta go?
Wish I could forget you, but I don't know how
'Cause every time I turn around
It's always somethin' every day remindin' me
Everywhere I go, there's a memory
Ready and awaitin' to catch me off guard
There's no way to prepare my heart
What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do
If only I could just stop missin' you
I'd let go of our love, like it was never nothing
But it's always
Somethin' every day remindin' me
Everywhere I go, there's a memory
Ready and awaitin' to catch me off guard
There's no way to prepare my heart
What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do
If only I could just stop missin' you
I'd let go of our love, like it was never nothing
But it's always something
It's always something
Oh, it's always something

Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay
When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said, "Hold on"
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
Well, he said, "Friend it ain't the end, let's see what I can do
If you own a home, I've got a loan tailor made for you"
Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note"
The Devil made me do it, talked me in to it and that was all she wrote
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
They say debt is a bottomless pit where the Devil likes to play
I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime

I'm out here stranded on this Oklahoma road
Nothing but a broken truck, heat and dust and a million high line poles
If only I could tap the line I'd be just fine
If I could talk to her right now
'Cause there's a voice inside of me that's saying something's wrong
'Cause I've tried a hundred times and a hundred dimes
To reach her on the phone and like the sun my hearts sinkin'
'Cause I'm thinkin' it don't matter anyhow
I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin' anymore
I got a sneakin' suspicion love is walkin' out the door
And now I'm dealin' with a heartache like I've never felt before
I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin' anymore
I like this ramblin' life but what a price to pay
To think I'd let a dollar sign and a diesel whine drive her love away
I've got a real strong premonition
She ain't missin' me as much as I miss her
I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin' anymore
I got a sneakin' suspicion love is walkin' out the door
And now I'm dealin' with a heartache like I've never felt before
I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin' anymore

The only the thing I see ahead, is just the heat a rising off the road
The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot of gold
And more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know
Are long ago and far behind, wrapped up in my memories of home
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
And the feel of a muddy row between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
And mom would sing amazing grace, while she hung out the clothes
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
And the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away
But in my mind I'm always going home
Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead
And it's way too late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said
But the straight and narrow path he showed me
Turned into a thousand winding roads
My footsteps carry me away
But in my mind I'm always going home
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
And the feel of a muddy row between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
And mom would sing amazing grace, while she hung out the clothes
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
And the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away
But in my mind I'm always going home
The straight and narrow path he showed me
Turned into a thousand winding roads
My footsteps carry me away

Chorus:
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch
When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun
Any fool knows you'll never get rich
When you're down in a ditch in the Tennesee sun
All I got to show is blisters and sweat
Blisters and sweat and minimum pay
I'm just tryin' to get out of debt
And buddy I bet you, I make it someday
Well I wich that I was the man with the clipboard
Sittin' in the shade with an RC cola
Makin' calls on the cellular phone
And yellin' down at me to keep my butt movin'
(Chorus)
Someday you'll see me workin' that clipboard
Sittin' in the cab of a cool Silverado
Tuned in to a country station
Rollin' down the window just to holler out orders
To the fool with the shovel way down in a ditch
When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun
Everybody knows you never get rich
Working down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun

I ain't never hauled hay in the trunk of my car
But I drunk a little shine from a mason jar
I know how to work and how to have fun
I'm a good-timin', blue-collar, son-of-a-gun
I like monster trucks, tractor pulls, country fairs
Huntin' and fishin' and ice cold beer
That's the way I'm gonna be 'till the day I die
C-O-U-N-T-R-Y
My baby looks hot in her high heel shoes
She looks even cooler in her cowboy boots
She can dance to the music, all night long
She's a stick of dynamite, she's bad to the bone
She likes boogy woogy, Reggae, Rap, Pop and Soul
Hip-Hop Blues, and Rock and Roll
If you really want to know what drives her wild
C-O-U-N-T-R-Y
You might not know it by the way we talk
We might not show it by the way we walk
But we're true and tried, genuine, certified
C-O-U-N-T-R-Y
That's the way we're gonna be until the day we die
C-O-U-N-T-R-Y

Up and down the street tonight
There's a Santa Claus at every light
Trees for sale on the corner lot
Waiting for a home
Everywhere across the land
Gifts are wrapped with loving hands
Around the world as children sleep
A star begins to glow
And somewhere, someone quietly explains
To a loved one what all this means
Two thousands years ago
The sky was bright with the Heavenly host
Peace on earth good will towards men
Has been hangin' in ever since
From that night and forevermore
Every man whether rich or poor
Will share the love, the hope, and joy
All because of a Baby Boy
When Christmas Day is finally here
And friends and family gather near
Memories shared from seasons past
And a little child will ask
Then someone, somewhere will quietly explain
To a loved one what all this means
Two thousands years ago
The sky was bright with the Heavenly host
Peace on earth good will towards men
Has been hangin' in ever since
From that night and forevermore
Every man whether rich or poor
Share the love, the hope, and joy
All because of a Baby Boy

Been one tough week, dead on my feet
But I've made plans for tonight
When I'm feeling blue, know just what to do
How to make it right
Seems like I've needed this forever
Gonna have myself a night to remember
Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures on the floor
Throw the dust off of our past, let it all come floodin' back
'Cause it ain't easy being strong and when I can't forget you're gone
I'll just surrender and have myself a night to remember
Sad ain't my style but once in a while
I just have to give in
'Cause a woman like you is so hard to lose
You just don't want it to end
I know this can't go on forever
So tonight I'll have a night to remember
Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures on the floor
Throw the dust off of our past let it all come floodin' back
'Cause it ain't easy being strong and when I can't forget you're gone
I'll just surrender and have myself a night to remember
Oh it ain't easy being strong and when I can't forget you're gone

Well you filled up my head with so many lies
You twisted my heart till something snapped inside
I'd like to give it one more try but my give a damn's busted
You can crawl back home say you were wrong
Stand out in the yard and cry all night long
Go ahead and water the lawn, my give a damn's busted
I really wanna care, I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper nah sorry, nothin'
You can say you've got issues, you can say you're a victim
It's all your parents fault, I mean, after all you didn't pick em
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen, my give a damn's busted
Well your therapist says it was all a mistake
A product of the Prozac and your co-dependent ways
So who's your enabler these days? My give a damn's busted.
I really wanna care, I wanna feel somethin'

Ain't it funny, I haven't seen you in years
And all those tears I cried, finally dried up
And blew away
Ain't it funny, you once were glad
Just to have me near, to calm your fears
What fun we had
Whoever thought, we'd met this way
After the love we had
Life's so funny
Sometimes it makes me sad
Ain't it funny, you just walk up and say
How've you been, like some old friend
You used to know
And ain't it funny, I've got nothing to say
Since you stole my heart and all the words away
That I'd rehearsed so well
Whoever thought we'd act this way
After the love we had
Life's so funny
Sometimes it makes me sad
Where's the love that we once had
The one we thought would last and last
Life's so funny
Sometimes it makes me sad
Life's so funny

Yesterday I missed my exit
On my way to Sears
A song was on the radio
I hadn't heard in years
For a minute there the interstate
Was 2nd Avenue
And I was singing, "Everlasting Love"
And driving home to you
Somewhere down that road not taken
Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken
Just every now and then I think about what would have been
Somewhere down that road not taken
By now we'd have our own business
And a house just out of town
In a neighborhood that smelled like dinner
When the sun went down
Two kids playing in their rooms
With toys we never had
A little girl who looks like you
And a boy, just like his dad
Somewhere down that road not taken
Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken
Just every now and then I think about what would have been
Somewhere down that road not taken
What if I had asked you?
And what if you'd said, "Yes"?
There's no way I'll ever know
Still I can't help but guess
Somewhere down that road not taken
Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken
Just every now and then I miss a place I've never been
Somewhere down that road not taken
Yesterday I missed my exit

On Christmas morn' a son was born
No one knew he'd be the King of kings
A baby child so meek and mild
And through the ages, angel voices sing
Praise and Alleluia to the Savior
Give thanks to God for all the gifts He brings
Praise and Alleluia to the Savior
And don't forget what Christmas really means
Wise men came, they knew His name
That blessed day went down in history
And still today He lights the way
And shows His love for all the world to see
Praise and Alleluia to the Savior
Give thanks to God for all the gifts He brings
Praise and Alleluia to the Savior
And don't forget what Christmas really means
Pretty bows and mistletoe
Families gathered 'round the Christmas tree
And while they share their Christmas fare
They remember that the greatest gift was free
Praise and Alleluia to the Savior
Give thanks to God for all the gifts He brings
Praise and Alleluia to the Savior
And don't forget what Christmas really means
Yes, praise and Alleluia to the Savior

Well, I don't know where I'm goin'
And I don't even care
But from tomorrow mornin'
You won't find me anywhere
I'll be gone, long gone
You'll be callin' me back girl
But I'll be makin' tracks
Baby, I'm gone
Baby, I'm leaving on the next thing smokin'
This time, I'm gone and I ain't jokin'
Western, Delta, Continental
Amtrak, Greyhound, Avis Rental
Well, I don't care where I'm bound
Just as long as I'm leaving town, I'll be gone
If you think your eyes deceive you
And you don't believe your ears
While I'm making like Houdini
You can watch me disappear
I'll be gone, long gone
Well, I'll go anywhere
Just as long as you're not there
Baby, I'm gone
Baby, I'm leaving on the next thing smokin'
This time, I'm gone and I ain't jokin'
Western, Delta, Continental
Amtrak, Greyhound, Avis Rental
I don't care where I'm bound
Just as long as I'm leaving town, baby, I'm gone
Well, I don't care where I'm bound
Just as long as I'm leaving town, I'll be gone
I'll be gone, long gone
I'll be gone, long gone
Well, I'll be gone, long gone

Sun stuck high in the air
Destination anywhere this road decides to go
Underneath the desert sky
I find a place to hide and rest my weary bones
This underpass will shade the heat
And as my mind drifts off to sleep
There you are with your hair all down
And your feet are bare, in your cotton gown
What a beautiful sight, in the moonlight
The way you're lookin' at me with your lovin' eyes
You let me know that for all my life
You will always be my only girl
But that's another place in time, back when you were mine
In another world
A car stops way up ahead
I climb inside, her hair is red, I thank her for the ride
She talks the miles away
I nod and smile and try to say anything to be polite
But as the darkness ends the day
Another voice whispers my name
There you are with your hair all down
And your feet are bare, in your cotton gown
What a beautiful sight, in the moonlight
The way you're lookin' at me with your lovin' eyes
You let me know that for all my life
You will always be my only girl
But that's another place in time, back when you were mine
In another world
There you are with your hair all down
And your feet are bare, in your cotton gown
What a beautiful sight, in the moonlight
The way you're lookin' at me with your lovin' eyes
You let me know that for all my life
You will always be my only girl
But that's another place in time, back when you were mine
In another world
In another world

I'm not a wealthy man, don't pay for my suntan
I work out in the heat and the cold
Sometimes, I'd like to be the big, bad wolf
Instead of just another sheep in the fold
I hear the rich man holler 'bout the shrinkin' dollar
Cry about a luxury tax
They won't let him write off his little eighty foot yacht
I'd like to have a problem like that
Oh, I'd like to have a problem like that
Should I buy the Porsche or the stretch, Cadillac?
Do I wanna drive fast or just ride around in the back?
I'd like to have a problem like that
I saw a celebrity talkin' on the TV
He looked like a tall Tom Cruise
He's seein' Sheila and Bambi, Linda and Candy
Burnin' both ends of his fuse
He said he's suffocatin', needs a vacation
He can't find time to relax from all the kissin'
And huggin', the sweet talk and lovin'
I'd like to have a problem like that
Oh, I'd like to have a problem like that
Be a one-man woman jugglin' act
How many can you keep in the air before you lose track?
I'd like to have a problem like that
I'd like to be too rich, I'd to be too thin
I'd like to be too young, I'd like to be too in
Should I kiss and tell and write a book on my life?
How much can I get for the movie rights?
Oh, I'd like to have a problem like that
Be a tabloid star at the checkout rack
Should I drag 'em through court or tell 'em to kiss my fax?
I'd like to have a problem like that
Give me those problems
I think that I could solve 'em
I'd like to have a problem like that
Sure would like to have a problem like that
Don't know what they're whining about

Woke up this morning all alone
I turned over and you were gone
Pulled the shade and looked down the drive
And you were gone in my 65
All that's left in the 'fridgerator
Is a cold Budweiser and sweet tater
Hidin' from this ol' mornin' light
I don't know what I did last night
I'm not sure I didn't die
I'm staring out this ol' double wide
And all that's left in the 'fridgerator
Is a cold Budweiser and a sweet tater
What makes you think I miss you?
What makes you think I care?
When everything I'll ever need
Is in that Frigidaire
Well the phone's been ringin' for an hour
And I'm still standing here in the shower
I guess I should go be lookin' for you
But I got better things to do
I don't need to leave this trailer
I got a cold Budweiser and a sweet tater
I said all that's left in the 'fridgerator
Is a cold Budweiser and a sweet tater
All that?s left in the 'fridgerator

I can't get richI can't make a living
But I sure do something for the neighborhood women
I wake up every morning with a knocking at my door
You can't keep 'em waiting when they're yelling for more
"Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound
"You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around."
I used to think they was after me
Oh, but they're just after my recipe, for that
Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, yeah that
Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy
Well, you can eat it from a biscuit, you can sop it from a pan
You can lick it off your fingers when it's running down your hand
If I could get a notion I'd start a big promotion
I'd put it in a bottle, call it "Biscuit Lotion."
"Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound
"You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around."
I used to think they was after me
Oh, but they're just after my recipe, for that
Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, yeah that
Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy
Well, my grandma told my momma 'bout the power that it had
Good Brown Gravy is the way she got my dad
They tried to get me in the Army, get me in the Navy
Just to get the secret of my good brown gravy
"Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound
"You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around."
I used to think they was after me
Oh, but they're just after my recipe, for that
Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, yeah that

I could barely breathe when you told me goodbye
Thought my knees would go as you walked down the drive
It was I could do to hold back the tears
I whispered "I love you" guess you didn't hear
As I watched you drive away
I thought I'd die
And that was the easy part
As bad as it was
Your goodbye didn't torture me
Like your being gone does
Facing my life alone
Is where it really gets hard
Watching you leave
Bore a hole deep in me
And that was the easy part
'She'll be back"
That's what I told myself
But the more I lied
The less it seemed to help
If you know how a man whose about to drown
Feels the 3rd time he goes down
Then you know how I was feeling
The day you left
And that was the easy part
As bad as it was
Your goodbye didn't torture me
Like your being gone does
Facing my life alone
Is where it really gets hard
Watching you leave
Bore a hole deep in me
That was the easy part
Facing my life alone
Is where it really gets hard
Watching you leave
Bore a hole deep in me

He had plastic bags wrapped around his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashin' five below
It was freezin' rain and spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead, I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes, I said, ?Old man, are you okay??
He said
?I just crawled out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into calico creek?
?I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man, I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home?
And he said, ?I was just comin' 'round the barn
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
And I heard mama holler, ?Son, hurry up?
And I was close enough for my own nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove?
"And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of 55, that's as close as I've been?
"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into calico tree"
"I was walkin' down a old dirt
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man, I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"
I said, ?Old man, you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission?
He said, ?Boy, if you'd left me alone right now I'd be fishin'?
"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into calico creek"
"I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man, I wish you'd just left me alone
Man, I wish you'd just left me alone [unverified]

There's a place I can go
Where I know I'll always be welcome
Night after night
When your memory comes around
I just take a ride down the road
And look for the light
When I see that old sign flashin'
That's when I know I'm on my way
I'm goin' out to the wild blue yonder
Break through this cloud I'm under
Out to the wild blue yonder
And let my mind wander away
Maybe I can find a friend there
Someone who's been where I am
And knows what to do
With a heart that won't stop breakin'
And a mind that won't stop takin' me back
To the image of you
Tonight I know my destination
A place where no one knows you name
I'm goin' out to the wild blue yonder
Break through this cloud I'm under
Out to the wild blue yonder
And let my mind wander away
You know that jukebox sounds like thunder
When that whiskey pours like rain
I'm goin' out to the wild blue yonder
Break through this cloud I'm under
Out to the wild blue yonder

Once upon a time there were two hearts
On a road to happy ever after
And the story goes that the real world
Snug up and stole their sunlight and their laughter
They stood there in the dark and trying to see
That's the way I picture you and me
Sometimes love's no fairy tale
Matches made in Heaven sometimes fail
Well, we know love's so hard to find
Should we give up on us and leave it all behind
Or rewrite this story twice upon a time?
We could start at chapter ten, see those hearts again
Finding all the clouds have silver linings
And we're sure by chapter twelve all the stars that fell
Are back up in the sky and brightly shining
The choice is ours, the pen's still in our hands
We can right the wrong or we can write the end
Sometimes love's no fairy tale
Matches made in Heaven sometimes fail
Well, we know love's so hard to find
Should we give up on us and leave it all behind
Or rewrite this story twice upon a time?
If there's ever gonna be a happy ending
First there's got to be a new beginning
Sometimes love's no fairy tale
Matches made in Heaven sometimes fail
Well, we know love's so hard to find
Should we give up on us and leave it all behind
Or rewrite this story twice upon a time?
Don't give up on us and leave it all behind

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time
Like a broken field runner, slippin' through the line
He likes the way she looks so he calls the liltle wife
Says, don't wait up for me, I'll be workin' late tonight
Wife hangs up the phone bursts into tears
Calls her sister up and cries get over here
Sister tells her boyfriend be back in a while
Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile
He leaves the motor runnin', he'll only be a minute
His car drives away with teenagers in it
The driver tells his buddies got one life to live
They scream into the night, let's get it over with
Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When you're spinnin' 'round, things come undone
Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve
Heads for the semi truck jumps the curb
Truck hits the big boy in Schoney's parkin' lot
Who flies through the air takes out the bank clock
Clock strikes a light pole transformer sparks
Lines go down, the town goes dark
Waitress calls the cops says, she saw it all
Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall
Cops ring up the Mayor, say there's panic in the streets
We hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief
Mayor says, use your head if he ain't in his car
He's hidin' from his wife down at Smokey's bar
Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When you're spinnin' 'round, things come undone
Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When you're spinnin' 'round, things come undone
Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

Little Miss Dynamite, just blew my world away
It was a pitiful sight, me beggin' her to stay
I never had a hunch, so how was I to know?
She packed a punch, that knocked my heart out cold
She put a hurtin' on this old cowboy, broke my heart like a little play toy
Brought me to my knees from ten feet tall
The night she left me in Amarillo, I cried crocodile tears in my pillow
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
How could a blue-eyed beauty only five foot three
Lay a Texas size heartache, on me?
She came across so cool, I didn't think that I'd get burned
Now I'm a big ol' fool, with a leavin' lesson learned
Thought I was strong, like ol' Hercules
She proved me wrong, with her little 'C'est La Vie'
She put a hurtin' on this old cowboy, broke my heart like a little play toy
Brought me to my knees from ten feet tall
The night she left me in Amarillo, I cried crocodile tears in my pillow
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
How could a blue-eyed beauty only five foot three
Lay a Texas size heartache, on me?
How could a blue-eyed beauty only five foot three

The street that we live on
Ain't no yellow brick road
This paycheck that I bring home
Sure ain't no pot of gold
When people dream
They don't wish they were us
But they don't know
We've got more than enough
We're somewhere under the rainbow
Just watchin' the late show, livin' on love
We're dancin' slow to the radio
Just holdin' on, somewhere under the rainbow
Some folks spend their whole life
Dreamin' 'bout the other side
Where the rain never falls
And those bluebirds fly
But I'll take forever
Where the skies aren't always blue
'Cause when I'm in your arms
I know dreams come true
We're somewhere under the rainbow
Just watchin' the late show, livin' on love
We're dancin' slow to the radio
Just holdin' on, somewhere under the rainbow
Somewhere under the rainbow
Just watchin' the late show, livin' on love
We're dancin' slow to the radio
Just holdin' on, somewhere under the rainbow
Somewhere under the rainbow
Livin' on love
We're dancin' slow to the radio
Just holdin' on, somewhere under the rainbow
Somewhere under the rainbow

I could tell he'd had a tough life
By the way he sat and stared
And me, I'd come to push and shove
So I pulled up a chair
We talked of roads untraveled
We talked of love untrue
Of strings that come unraveled
We were kings and kindred fools
And just when I'd hit bottom
That old man raised his glass
And said at least we had our chances
There's those who never have
So here's to all the soldiers
Who have ever died in vain
The insane locked up in themselves
The homeless down on Main
To those who stand on empty shores
And spit against the wind
And those who wait forever
For ships that don't come in
He said it's only life's illusions
That bring us to this bar
To pick up these old crutches
And compare each other's scars
'Cause the things we're calling heartache
Hell, they're hardly worth our time
We bitch about a dollar
When there's those without a dime
And as he ordered one last round
He said I guess we can't complain
God made life a gamble
And we're still in the game
So here's to all the soldiers
Who have ever died in vain
The insane locked up in themselves
The homeless down on Main
To those who stand on empty shores
And spit against the wind
And those who wait forever
For ships that don't come in
And those who wait forever

Well, I got my first truck when I was three
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
I hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before
I hauled a Barbie doll bed for the girl next door
She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to understand
There's something women like about a pickup man
When I turned sixteen I saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a pickup truck
I was cruisin' the town and the first girl I see
Is Bobbie Joe Gentry, the homecoming queen
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab
And said "I never knew you were a pickup man!"
CHORUS
You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville
I've got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made
You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams
There's just something women like about a pickup man
Most Friday nights I can be found
In the bed of my truck on an old chaisse lounge
Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow
I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand
Cuz there's something women like about a pickup man
CHORUS
CHORUS

Well you've all heard the story about Rudolph and his nose
But I'll tell you a Christmas tale that never has been told
Well you may think you've heard it all, but you ain't heard nothin' yet
About that crazy Christmas, that the North Pole can't forget
Rudolph was under the weather, he had to call in sick
So he got on the horn to his cousin Leroy who lived out in the sticks
He said, "Santa's really counting on me and I hate to pass the buck"
Leroy said, "Hey I'm on my way and he jumped in his pick-up truck"
When Leroy got to the north pole, all the reindeer snickered and laughed
But they never seen a deer in overalls and a John Deer tractor hat
Well but Santa stepped in and said, "Just calm down
'Cuz we've all got a job to do and like it or not Leroy's in charge
And he's gonna be leading you"
And it was Leroy The Redneck Reindeer hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol' boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two steppin' across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell and made history that night
Before that night was over, Leroy had changed their tune
He had them scootin' a holf on every single roof
By the light of a neon moon
Santa wrapped his bad with the Dixie flag
He was having the time of his life
And you could here him call Merry Christmas y'all
And all of y'all a goodnight
And it was Leroy The Redneck Reindeer hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol' boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two steppin' across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell and made history that night

They were farm kids way down in Dixie
Met in high school in the sixties
Everyone knew it was love from the start
One July in the midnight hour
He climbed upon the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10 foot heart
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said
That he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
They settled down on 80 acres
Raising sweet corn, kids, and tomatoes
They went together like a hand and a glove
On a clear day from their front yard
If you look and know what to look for
Off to the east you can still read his words of love
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said
The boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
Now more than once the town has discovered
Painting over, it ain't no use
There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover it
The heart keeps showing through
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said
The fool should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green
Ahh, paint it green, boy
In John Deere Green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said
The boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere Green

Darlin', as I look at you
It reminds me of how much in love I am
Oh, I'm a lucky man
It won't mean love that's in your eyes
Only makes me realize where I should be
And it's time to leave
'Cause you've made me think of her
And what our love was worth, she's all I'll ever need
And I appreciate the drink and thank you for the dance
And the chance to see, if I lost her, I couldn't live with me
I can't remember what it was
That made me say those hurtin' words tonight
What a silly fight
So at the risk of being rude
I'll say goodbye and promise you
I won't forget what you just did
'Cause you've made me think of her
And what our love was worth, she's all I'll ever need
And I appreciate the drink and thank you for the dance
And the chance to see, if I lost her, I couldn't live with me
And I appreciate the drink and thank you for the dance

Most of me is scared to death
As I'm holding you tonight
Should I open up my heart to you
Or should I run for my life
I come by caution honestly
I'm no stranger to heartache
But a tiny, trusting part of me
Says you're a chance I've got to take
Chorus:
I don't know if I can do this
History ain't on my side
But as we're lying here
And I'm looking my fear in the eye
I'm willing to try
Fear's a funny thing sometimes
WHen you're stuck and scared to move
The pain of staying where you are
Is worse than if you push on through
I know I've got no guarantees
And love won't be the easy road
But as I hold you, my heart's whispering
It's the way I gotta go
(Chorus)
As we're lying here
And I'm looking my fear in the eye

She said she?d meet me
In the cheap seats at the end zone
And now I sittin?s here cryin?
In the parkin? lot of the Astro Dome
When she stands me up like this
We both know where she is
Big city what are we gonna do
Looks like it?s just me and you
Houston, we have a problem
I think we?ve lost her one more time
Well, Houston, she?s gone to Austin
But she?s run off and left us high and dry
He slicks his hair back
And he talks fast for a Southerner
He?s the bona fide right hand
Of the third hand from the Governor
I don?t know what she sees in him
But dog gone it, she?s gone again
Leavin? me in a pool of tears
What?s it gonna take to keep her here
Houston, we have a problem
I think we lost her one more time
Well, Houston, she?s gone to Austin
But she?s run off and left us high and dry
You?ve gotta million petty fights
But every time she takes that ride
You lose every bit of your shine
Houston, we have a problem
I think we?ve lost her one more time
Well, Houston, she?s gone to Austin
But she?s run off and left us high and dry
Houston, we have a problem
I think we?ve lost her one more time
Well, Houston, she?s gone to Austin
But she?s run off and left us high and dry

Well the beer's on the bar and the smoke fills the air
There's a fool in every corner, man, I just don't care
Tight pants, line dance, Stetson hats and cowboy boots
They got Friday night, get right honky-tonk attitude
Well the waitress never leaves you with a half-empty glass
And every girl's on the dance floor shakin' her well
It's a two step three step, outta step country groove
They got a Friday night get right honky-tonk attitude
Well now everybody knows that's where everybody goes
Just to dance away their blues
So leave your cares behind it's just a state of mind
What have you got to lose? Oh yeah
Hey bartender pour up another round
We're just gettin' started don't shut us down
We need a slow dance, romanced, last chance rendezvous
We need a Friday night get right honky-tonk attitude
Well now everybody knows that's where everybody goes
Just to dance away their blues
So leave your cares behind it's just a state of mind
What have you got to lose? What have you got to lose?
Oh shake it!
Hey bartender pour up another round
We're just gettin' started don't shut us down
We need a slow dance, romanced, last chance rendezvous
We need a Friday night get right honky-tonk attitude
Well now everybody knows that's where everybody goes
Just to dance away their blues
So leave your cares behind it's just a state of mind
What have you got to lose? What have you got to lose?
If you've got a Friday night get right honky-tonk attitude

If I have send a message like a whisper on the breeze
Reckon it's no wonder that it never got to me
'Cos I'm down here in Kentucky, where the sun don't ever shine
The wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine
Oh, if I raise my eyes and look straight up at the sky
I can see the clouds rolling by
Well, they're there and then they're gone
But I'm still here alone
The wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine
I saw a little blue bird, heard him singing through the trees
It brought me right back to you, just as pretty as you please
Then you took to flying, disappeared among the pines
That I can't get out of a hollow deep as mine
Oh, if I raise my eyes and look straight up at the sky
I can see the clouds rolling by
Well, they're there and then they're gone
But I'm still here alone
The wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine
No, the wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine
The wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine

Have yourself a merry little Christmas let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together if the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together if the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

He plays guitar at a hotel bar
For out-of-towners and business men
He struts and sings to his drum machine
But he won't make it big at the Holiday Inn
But she thinks the he looks like Elvis
When he runs his fingers through that jet black hair
And sometimes she forgets an order
'Cause she's so struck by him she stops and stares
Chorus:
The gotta love bigger than the Beatles
Wild and free like a Rolling Stone
They gotta love takes 'em higher than the Eagles
Ain't life such a sweet, sweet song
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, yeah yeah, yeah
She pours some drinks, loads up the sink
And dreams of bein' a movie star
Her mama said she'd knock 'em dead
But Hollywood hasn't called so far
But he thinks she's as pretty as a picture
When she wipes down tables in her apron strings
And sometimes he forgets a chorus
'Cause she's shinin' like a beauty on the silver screen
(Chorus)
No you won't find their names on the walk of fame
But they ain't missin' much
Cause when the lights go down on tinsel town
All you need is love

The whole thing started at the dawn of man
He was sitting on a rock with a club in his hand
The very first time he laid eyes on her
She was dressed to kill in a saber-tooth fur
The hadn't invented any words to say
But he asked her in a primitive way
Do you want to go back to the cave
Chorus:
Back to the cave make a little fire
A man and a woman and a primal desire
That's the way it is that's the way it was
Before he made the wheel man was making love
A million years later in a Texas bar
A cowboy's listening to steel guitar
When she says hi my name's Irene
She's wearing bright red ropers and tight blue jeans
His eyes light up and his brain goes dim
He tries to be cool but she hears him say
You want to go back to the cave
(Chorus)
So you be Wilma and I'll be Fred
We'll throw the cat out the window put the kids to bed
Take a little trip through history
Do what's always come naturally
In the time machine at the end of the hall
We can be a couple of Neanderthals
Do you want to go back to the cave
(Chorus)
Don't blame us for the way we behave
The only way we know goes back to the cave
It's been done instinctively
Through pre-history
The road to the future
