My maria don't you know i've come a long, long way I been longin' to see her When she's around she takes my blues away Sweet maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies Maria, maria i love you My maria there were some blue and sorrow times Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind Gypsy lady you're a mircle work for me You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea She is the sunlight when skies are grey She treats me so right lady take me away My maria Maria i love you My maria Maria i love you My maria Maria i love you |

I'm the life of the party baby since you said good bye
Just ask old Joe He knows I'm here every night And that good old boy in the mirror looking around for you It ain't me And that's the honky tonk truth. That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart I put my right hand here on this beer And swear on this bar I ain't thinking I ain't drinking I ain't crying I ain't moaning the blues I wouldn't lie to you Now that's the honky tonk truth Don't think I'll come crawling back 'cause I don't miss you If you walked up and puckered up, girl I wouldn't bother to kiss you And that washed up, broken down fool Hanging out on that stool Well it ain't me Now that's the honky tonk truth. That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart I put my right hand here on this beer And swear on this bar I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying I ain't moaning the blues I wouldn't lie to you Now that's the honky tonk truth |

I'm still hurtin' from the last time
You walked on this heart of mine I can't find much to believe in You let me down so many times Heaven knows how I love you But I'm tired of holding on [Chorus] You better kiss me 'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone Not much chance we're gonna make it If I'm the only one who's trying You know I'm running out of reasons And we're running out of time Someday, girl, you're gonna wake up And wonder what went wrong [Chorus] You're good at going through the motions All I hear are alibis Not I get this empty feeling When I look into your eyes I don't see a love light shining I don't know what's going on [Chorus: x2] Oh, you gonna miss me when I'm gone You better kiss me 'Cause you gonna miss me, you gonna miss me, when I'm gone [Chorus] Oh, you gonna miss me when I'm gone. |

I thought we would always be together
The love we shared was gonna last forever Once I was your one and only Now here I sit, mister lonely [Chorus] He'll hold you tonight, but I won't What's he got that I don't The one thing I thought I'd never lose He's got you Beneath this dark cloud you left me under Can't sort it out so I'll sit and wonder Tell myself, "It hurts, don't it" Now my empty heart will be forever haunted [Chorus: x2] Oh, he's got you. |

I'm a hard workin' man
I wear a steel hard hat I can ride, rope, hammer and paint Do things with my hands that most men can't I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by Got everything I own By the sweat of my brow From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots I owe it all to my blue collar roots I feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain I'm a hard, hard workin man I got it all on the line For a peace of the promised land I'm burnin' my candle at both ends 'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin' Is to outrun the wind Come Friday night I like to party hard I carry on with the Cadillac cuties Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty Come Monday mornin' I'm the first to arrive I ain't nothin' but business from nine till five I'm a hard, hard workin man I got it all on the line For a peace of the promised land I'm burnin' my candle at both ends 'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin' Is to outrun the wind I can't wait to get up in the mornin' And do it all over again Well I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man |

Lipstick letters across the mirror this morning
Said, "goodbye, baby." You left with no warning Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream You always said we had a good thing You never once let on we were falling apart [Chorus] That ain't no way to go, girl, it just ain't right Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye That ain't no way to go, was it all a lie? After all this time, that ain't no way to go Getting nowhere, I'm tired of thinking Guess I'll do a little wishful drinking And make a whiskey wish upon a star Train whistle blowing down the tracks Lonesome sound says she ain't coming back It's such a cold blow from out of the dark [Chorus] |

She's got a T-Top Camaro with a scoop on the hood
And two big speakers blasting Johnny B. Goode Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime She plays with my heart and messes with my mind Acts like Madonna but she listens to Merle Rock my world little country girl She wears snakeskin boots made by Calvin Klein And cheap sunglasses from the five and dime All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks She got an "A" in math and never cracked a book Sure looks good in her denim and pearls Rock my world little country girl [Chorus] Rock my world Drag me out on the floor Dance with me 'till I can't dance anymore One-step, two-step, get in a line I gotta find a way to make you mine Rock my world! I tell her that I love her but it ain't enough She says I got to learn to loosen up Get a little wild on Saturday night But make sure she's home before the mornin' light Sunday she's all ribbons and curls Rock my world little country girl [Chorus] Rock my world little country girl Rock my world little country girl Rock my world little country girl Rock my world little country girl Rock my world little country girl |

When the sun goes down
On my side of town That lonesome feeling Comes to my door The whole world turns blue There's a rundown bar Cross the railroad tracks I've got a table for two Way in the back Where I sit alone And think of losing you I spend most every night Beneath the light Of this neon moon Now if you lose your one and only There's always room here for The lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon I think of two young lovers Running wild and free I close my eyes And sometimes see You in the shadows Of this smoke-filled room No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried Or how many lies That I've lied Telling my poor heart She'll come back someday Oh, but I'll be alright As long as there's light From a neon moon Oh, if you lose your one and only There's always room here for The lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon The jukebox plays on Drink by drink And the words of every sad song Seem to say what I think And this hurt inside of me Ain't never gonna end Oh, but I'll be alright As long as there's light From a neon moon Oh, if you lose your one and only There's always room here for The lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon Watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon Oh, watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon |

I lost her trail on a Friday night
She was gone before I got home She'd been getting restless In that big house all alone I've been up and down these city streets For three nights in a row And lord it's hard to find that girl When she gets the urge to go [Chorus] It's kinda like a lost and found In a border town You're askin' 'bout a diamond ring They just look at you Like you've lost your mind Say they haven't seen a thing But I know she's been here lately I can still smell her perfume And she gets crazy on a full moon And I know she'll be coming back Her car is waiting right outside But, I don't want to think about Who's taking her for a ride And her unpredictability Is what I love about her best But I've got to find her quick Before she does something I regret [Chorus] She's out there somewhere Burnin' up the night Somehow I've got to run her down I'm running out of time [Chorus: x2] |

She's dressed to kill in a dress he bought her
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her She's come to dance a dance or two And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through She found out the hard way about him She's out to find out how she'll do without him Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding By the way she's drinking his memory's drowin' [Chorus] She's not the cheatin' kind She's been cheated one too many times Oh, she's never fooled around 'Cause he's still lyin' she's through cryin' She's not foolin' now She walks by and every head turns You can see how hot her fire burns He didn't know what a good thing he had Well it's too late and that's too bad [Chorus: x3] |

[Chorus]
I saw the light I've been baptized By the fire in your touch And the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man Well the whole town's talking 'Bout the line I'm walking That leads right to your door Oh how I used to roam I was a rolling stone I used to have a wild side They say a country-mile-wide I'd burn those beer joints down That's all changed now You turned my life around [Chorus] I used to love 'em and leave 'em I'd brag about my freedom How no one could tie me down Then I met you Now my heart beats true Baby you and me together Feels more like forever Than anything I've ever known We're right on track I ain't looking back [Chorus: x3] I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man |

A lot of trucks lined up down by the lake
Drinkin' beer on the back of the tailgate Boys from the valley want to start a fight Hey baby what you want to do tonight The only fear a rebel heart knows Nothing to do when anything goes [Chorus] Looking back on those days of thunder I shake my head and I have to wonder How we ever made it through that Girl tonight you're takin' me back There's a road and a restless wind Ain't it good to feel that way again Here we are, the way we were In those days of thunder That old Ford is sure fast on the draw Outgun the Chevys and outrun the law Outskirts of town looking down on the lights Waiting for some kind of lightning strike The cars and the bars, The songs we knew have changed The fire that burns inside of us still remains [Chorus] Yeah Looking back on those days of thunder I shake my head and I have to wonder How we ever made it through that Girl tonight you're taking me back There's a road and a restless wind Ain't it good to feel that way again Here we are, the way we were In those days of thunder, In those days of thunder, yeah |

Hello Miss Heartbroke
Sit your sweet self down It's good to see your dancin' feet back out on the town Rumor has it you've had trouble with your man I've had trouble of my own, I think I understand [Chorus] We'll put out your old flame We'll build a bigger fire I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher And if his memory comes around And you think you still care We'll burn that bridge when we get there Come on let your hair down we'll have us a time He had his chance with you now all I want is mine Give me half an hour or just a dance or two And you'll forget old what's his name and how he walked out on you [Chorus: x2] We'll burn that bridge when we get there Burn it down baby |

You picked me up, you shot me down,
stepping out all over town, drove me back drinking in this bar. I found myself a brand new friend. I'm headed down that road again. I'm working on my next broken heart. Happytor sad, it's hard to tell. You taught me how to hurt so well. When it comes to love I know my part, I'll play this game that I can't win, I'll be somebody's fool again, working on my next broken heart. I tought all along you'd be the death of me. I met one tonight who wants what's left of me. I've seen that look before. She'll tear my world apart. I'm working on my next broken heart. I tought all along you'd be the death of me. I met one tonight who wants what's left of me. I've seen that look before. She'll tear my world apart. I'm working on my next broken heart. I'm working on my next broken heart. I'm working on my next broken heart. |

There's not a heart that ain't been broken
A lie that ain't been spoken A shattered dream that brand new love can't fix I've been burned, I've been cheated But this old heart's still beating Ain't no big deal It's just whiskey under the bridge Let's dance a little closer I'll help you get over The hurt you thought you never could forget The bitter tears you tasted All those nights you wasted Don't look back It's just whiskey under the bridge All those nights of drinking Finally got me thinking Heartache is just a waste of time I've been burned, I've been cheated But this old heart's still beating Ain't no big deal It's just whiskey under the bridge All those nights of drinking Finally got me thinking Heartache is just a waste of time I've been burned, I've been cheated But this old heart's still beating Ain't no big deal It's just whiskey under the bridge Ain't no big deal It's just whiskey under the bridge Ain't no big deal It's just whiskey under the bridge |
