Let me tell you baby
If you want to pin me down Better get your hammer, girl And nail me to the ground 'Cause you won't find no grass stains On the bottom of my feet The only home I've ever known Is out there on the street You call me insane Honey, that's my middle name And I don't care which way the wind will blow 'Cause I don't know So down the road I go You see I tried to settle down Not too long ago You can lock my body up But you can't calm my soul I don't want to hurt you Or put you on a shelf But my daddy told me all my life You've got to be yourself You call me insane Honey, that's my middle name And I don't care which way the wind will blow 'Cause I don't know so down the road I go I'm sure there's lots of guys out there Who've learned to tow the line Compared to them my life may look a wreck But girl, you've been to college So you should know by now And if you can't understand me What the hell did you expect I'm giving you fair warning I'm gonna say goodbye And when I'm walkin' out the door Don't want to hear you cry There's so much highway out there That I ain't never seen And all I need is cigarettes, guitars, and gasoline You call me insane Honey, that's my middle name And I don't care which way the wind will blow 'Cause I don't know So honey, down the road I go Down the road I go I'll see you around 'Cause I'm leaving town Yeah, yeah, yeah |

Well I'm swimmin' in debt
And the money's all gone I ain't got nothin' I can call my own Work my fingers to the blood and bone For a big disappointment when my paycheck comes If I only had a little I could do just fine I could put a down payment on some peace of mind But I'm hangin' at the end of a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time My truck's financed through the union bank But I don't have enough to even fill the tank I'd take you for a drive, girl, but I just can't 'Cause the damned old motor won't even crank Our trailer's plenty big if we lived outside But I can't swing the payments on a double wide You better hold a place in that welfare line 'Cause I'm just livin' on borrowed time Well if it comes real cheap but it don't come free Then it stays off limits to a guy like me They say it brings trouble having money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn Well if it comes real cheap but it don't come free Then it stays off limits to a guy like me They say it brings trouble having money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn Yeah I bought my wife a little diamond ring Her mom said, "Hun, can't even see that thing" It'll be paid off when I'm sixty-five If I'm lucky enough to still be alive Even if I was to up and pass away My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave No tombstone just an old wood sign Sayin' 'He was just livni' on borrowed time I'm out there swingin' from a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time |

Best Of Intentions
I had big plans for our future Said I'd give you the whole world somehow I tried makin' good on that promise Thought I'd be so much further by now Never could build you a castle Even though you're the queen of my heart But I've had the best of intentions from the start Now some people think I'm a loser 'Cause I seldom get things right But you make me feel like a winner When you wrap me in your arms so tight Please tell me you will remember No matter how much I do wrong That I had the best of intentions all along Chorus: I gave you a ring And I promised you things I always thought we'd do But my best-laid plans Slipped right through my hands To show my love for you And if you could read my heart Then you'd know without exception It was all with the best of intentions Chorus So here I am asking forgiveness And praying that you'll understand Don't think I take you for granted Girl, I know just how lucky I am Though you deserve so much better You won't find devotion more true 'Cause I've had the best of intentions Girl, I've had the best of intentions Yes, I've had the best of intentions loving you |

I got rice cooking in the microwave
I got a three day beard I don't plan to shave It's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey, I'm doing alright I think I'll make me some home-made soup I'm feeling pretty good and that's the truth It's neither drink nor drug induced, no, I'm just doing alright And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good It's been fifteen years since I left home Said good luck to every seed I'd sown Gave it my best and then I left it alone I hope they're doing alright Now I look in the mirror and what do I see A lone wolf there staring back at me Long in the tooth but harmless as can be Lord I guess he's doin' alright And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good Sometimes it's lonely, sometimes it's only me And the shadows that fill this room Sometimes I'm falling, desperately calling Howling at the moon, ah-ooh Well, I might go get me a new tattoo Or take my old Harley for three day cruise Might even grow me a fu man chu And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good |

My baby knows me better than I do Funny how a woman has that over a man I can do anything with her here beside me Leaning on her is where I make my stand Where would we be without the love of a woman Standing behind her man even when he's wrong The true pure undying love of a woman Makes a man a fool to think he can make it alone My daddy was a wild one when he was younger Everybody told my mama he'd be hard to tame Full of himself he said 'sir' to nobody But you oughta see him come a runnin' when mama calls his name Where would we be without the love of a woman Standing behind her man even when he's wrong The true pure undying love of a woman Makes a man a fool to think he can make it alone Oh, yeah... A man goes crazy trying to catch his feelings Too much pride or maybe the words come out wrong But that's okay 'cause he's still her hero Steady as a rock, her love keeps rolling along Where would we be without the love of a woman Standing behind her man even when he's wrong The true pure undying love of a woman Makes a man a fool to think he can make it alone Makes a man a fool to think he can make it alone |

I was a real Casanova in my home town
Never really thought about settling down That is until, you came around Yeah, it's been a few years but I remember it well I was a rowdy no-gooder You were hotter than hell I spent all my time Hot on your trail You could've run through the mountains Could've sailed across the deep blue sea I knew from the start Couldn't let you get away from me Well your mama and your daddy They didn't approve They told you me was trash and I was born to lose But that didn't faze me I was gonna have you So I begged and I pleaded Something I'd never done And sure as tomorrow has a rising sun There was no mistake Honey, you were the one You could've run through the mountains Could've sailed across the deep blue sea But one thing's for sure You would never get away from me The sweetest things in life take you by surprise Like the heaven I see looking in your eyes Though you weren't sure how an outlaw's love would be I made up my mind not to let you get away from me (End of Bridge) As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs I think back on the good times that we have shared And how our love has grown Down through the years So snuggle up to me baby turn out the lights There's no where on this earth I'd rather be tonight Then lying in your arms Holding you tight As time roll's by one thing's still plain to see I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me Yeah, yeah you could've run through the mountains Could've sailed across the deep blue sea But I'd have been a fool to let you get away from me. |

Well it's a long way to Richmond
Rollin' north on 95 With a redhead ridin' shotgun And a pistol by my side Tearin' down that highway Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde We met at a truckstop Johnson City, Tennessee I was gassin' up my Firebird When I heard her callin' me...mmm hmm Said, 'Which way are you headed, boy Do you need some company' She had me stoppin' at a quick mart Before we made it out of town Next thing she was runnin' at me Tellin' me to lay that hammer down 'Cause there's a man right behind me Doin' his best to slow me down Yeah and it's a long way to Richmond Rollin' north on 95 With a redhead ridin' shotgun And a pistol by my side Tearin' down that highway Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde Woo... Well we pulled up to a motel In the middle of the night We were countin' all the money Smokin' stolen Marlboro lights Lord we never saw 'em comin' 'Til they read us both our rights Yeah and it's a long way to Richmond Rollin' north on 95 With a sheriff right beside me Pistol pointed at my side Oh, Lord...such a disappointing ending For this modern day Bonnie and Clyde Yeah... Whoa Well... Woo...hoo |

I never saw it coming
Learned the hard way love is blind But you can't deny the bitter truth When it's right before your eyes But I wish I was wrong Your love for me is gone I know beyond a doubt there's no use in hanging on But I wish I was wrong The world trembled there beneath me It was more than I could stand That you'd take comfort in the arms Of another man I searched my heart for answers I looked deep down in my soul From denial to revelation That I'd have to let you go But I wish I was wrong Your love for me is gone I know beyond a doubt there's no use in hanging on But I wish I was wrong Yes, I wish I was wrong |

Here comes that same old memory
Like a movie in my mind You told me you loved another Then you drove off through the pines And I swear it feels like yesterday Though it's been a long, long time I can still feel those cold chills Runnin up and down my spine [Chorus] And I've been fighting back the memories I've been fightin back the tears And I'm fightin back the hurt I still feel After all these years If I had the strength I'd fight To make things like they were before But I'm just too tired To fight it anymore Everyday my heart reminds me How I boldly spoke those lines I can get along without you And I'm gonna be just fine But the nights alone grew colder Than I ever thought they'd be And I spend every hour searchin For what you took out of me [Chorus] And I thought time would overcome the torture But instead I'm getting weaker everyday Yeah Whoa... I've been fighting back the memories I've been fighting back the tears And I'm fighting back the hurt I still feel After all these years If I had the strength I'd fight To make things like they were before But I'm just too tired to fight There ain't no way to hide it I'm just too tired to fight it anymore Yeah, I'm just too tired to fight it anymore |

(Travis Tritt/Charlie Daniels)
Well she was born in a north woods town Twenty-one winters ago And she grew tired of the freezing cold And living in the blinding snow But this girl knew she wouldn't be there long 'Cause she had plans and dreams And she'd seen pictures of the sunshine state In the pages of the magazine So she waited them tables and she used her smile Saving every penny she can For a one-way Dixie bound Amtrak ticket Headed for the promised land Her momma and daddy begged her not to go When the day she dreamed of came And she waved goodbye sittin' way up high From the window of a southbound train Now she's got a fire burnin' deep inside Ridin' on a southbound train And the clickity-clack of that railroad track Only helps to fan the flames No more worries, no more cares She left them up in Bangor, Maine Now she's startin' a brand new life Ridin' on a southbound train Whoa... She said, 'Hello sun, good mornin' Daytona You're sure lookin' good to me With your ocean breeze and your tall palm trees And your southern hospitality' Now she's a knockout queenie in a string bikini She's drivin' all the boys insane And this all started with a small town dream And a ticket on a southbound train 'Cause she had a fire burnin' deep inside Ridin' on a southbound train And the clickity-clack of that railroad track Only helps to fan the flames No more worries, no more cares She left them up in Bangor, Maine Yeah she likes the boys with the southern drawl Soakin' up the sunshine, havin' a ball She'll be the first to tell you that she owes it all To ridin' on a southbound train Whoa...oh... |
