I am not going to lay around and wine and mourn
For somebody that done me wrong Don't think for a minute that i am gonna seat around and sing some sad old song I believe it's .. half empty glass Every day i wake up knowing it could be my last Chorus I am not here for a long time I am here for a good time So bring me some sunshine .. the red wine Pour me some moon shine When i am gone pour .. left behind I am not here for a long time I am here for a good time Folks are always dreaming about what they like to do But i like to do just what i like I take the chance dance the dance It might be wrong but then again it might be right There is no way of knowing what tomorrow brings Life is too short to waste it i say bring on anything Chorus I am not here for a long time I am here for a good time So bring me some sunshine .. the red wine Pour me some moon shine When i am gone pour .. left behind I am not here for a long time I am here for a good time I am not here for a long time I am here for a good time |

He rode up on a winter day
Steam risin' off a streak face bay Said you probably know my name If you don't it's Arkansas Dave He talked of fifteen years ago And how he got the bay he rode He said he killed a man in Ohio First man he killed first horse he stole It was a long road for Arkansas Dave He shot and left him where he laid He said he'd never forget that winter day He rode off on a streak faced bay I stood up and I shook his hand Told no one that I knew this man Started makin' up a plan Bout how I'd deal him his last hand Didn't take him long to come unwound He jumped up and gunned two men down Ran outside to leave the town But ole' bay was nowhere to be found I head out with my forty four And when he walked back through the door I shot till I could shoot no more And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave I shot and left him where he laid I'll never forget that winter day I rode off on a streak faced bay No I'll never forget that winter day |

Isn't it like her to look so pretty
Like everything is alright Like nobody cried all last night Look at the sun, oh how it's shinin' Almost a picture perfect day Like nobody's goin' away If it were just a little colder She might need me to hold her There's not a cloud in the sky It ain't rainin' or snowin' there's no cold wind blowin' It's a beautiful day for goodbye Isn't it like me to wait til she's leavin' To know how I feel I love her and I always will In a second or a moment, forever can change So I'm standing here prayin' for rain If it were just a little colder She might need me to hold her Wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect There's not a cloud in the sky It ain't rainiin' or snowin' there's no cold wind blowin' It's a beautiful day for goodbye wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect There's not a cloud in the sky |

He saw her after school, sippin on a coke
Acted like a fool, crackin crazy jokes She turned his motor on, man his heart was gone Fire down below, easy as you go Easy as you go, steady as you fly Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye Turn it on a dime, man you never know Take a little time, whoa easy as you go Graduation night, out behind the stands In the fading light, he became a man She discovered love better be enough Cause baby's gonna grow, easy as you go Easy as you go, steady as you fly Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye Turn it on a dime, man you never know Take a little time, whoa easy as you go Judgemental frowns, teacher's lookin down Parents all ashamed, passin out the blame They got a little room, service station view The rents too high, pays to low whoa Easy as you go There aint nothing like a daughter or a son To make a mama old and keep a daddy young Make a body dream, and give a life a theme Take the highs and the lows whoa |

Everyday is a lifetime without you
Hard to get through since you've gone So I do the only thing I know how to, to get by I'm livin' for the night I've drawn all the curtains in this old house To keep the sun out and off of my face Friends stop by to check in 'cause I've checked out I tell 'em I'm fine, I'm just livin' for the night Daylight can't hide the tears I cry The pain that came with your goodbye The memories that keep me out of sight Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight I'm livin' for the night I'm a whole lot easier to talk to When I've had a few, I settle down Whiskey kills the man you've turned me into, and I come alive I'm livin' for the night Daylight can't hide the tears I cry The pain that came with your goodbye The memories that keep me out of sight Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight I'm livin' for the night, I'm livin' for the night Everyday is a lifetime without you |

Been down the road to work and back
Been in what I thought was love a few times But every once in a while I stop and ask Where have I been all my life These days broccoli don't taste so bad And neither does swallowing my prde And I'm agreeing more and more with my old man Where have I been all my life Some years are clear and some a little blurry Man how they fly by Mom and dad sure got old in a hurry Where have I been all my life Been learning that forgiveness is as much for myself As it is for the other guy And I read the good book these days and believe it Where have I been all my life Some years are clear and some a little blurry Man how they fly by Mom and dad sure got old in a hurry Where have I been all my life I heard "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong It brought a tear to my eye After all these years I finally get that song |

It's crossed my mind a time or two Nights we almost called it a day And days we almost threw our love away Chorus: We've thrown around goodbyes Called us off a thousand times We've called it everything but quits We've said some things that hurt But love's always had the last word We've called it everything but quits Well I might get mad but it don't last Said things but always took 'em back Like all those I don't love you's anymore But anything worth havin' is worth fightin' for Repeat Chorus |

Diamonds on the windshield,as heaven starts to cry.
In his rearview mirror, his angel waves goodbye. She knows he's got to go, she knows he's one of them. Brothers of the highway, children of the wind. That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again, Sailin for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend. Brothers of the highway, children of the wind. He puts the pedel to the metal,trying to outta run the rain, Another shot of truck stop coffee, goes runnin through his vains, This country turns on eighteen wheels, thank god we can depend, on Brothers of the highway, children of the win. That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again, Sailin for that settin' sun, freedom's your best friend. Brothers of the highway, children of the wind. Carolina west to Denver, Baton Rouge east to Pittsburg, Portland south to San Diego, Sail on sail on, Tallahassy north to Boston, Up to Bangor west to Austin, Coast to coast,sea to sea, Sail on sail on, You brothers of the highway, children of the wind, That detroit diesel pirate ship goes rollin' out again, Sailin for that settin sun, freedom's your best friend, Brothers of the highway, children of the wind. |

A banker and a farmer discuss the bottom line
It ain't rained and all the crops are dying vine Give me more time You gotta give me more time That farm has been in my family going on a hundred years We pulled through hard times before with blood, sweat and tears Give me more time I need more time O what would he give for a little more time? Two lovers at a table, candle, light and wine One's looking for an answer, the other one can't find Give me more time You gotta give me more time She says you know I love you, but my heart's in a bind afraid you're gonna leave me if I don't amke up my mind Give me more time I gotta have more time Some have barely any, some too much on their hands Some would give anything to have it back again The patient and his doctor meet behind closed doors You're kiddin' me, how could this be? I'm only twenty-four Give me more time You gotta give me more time |

Well the house of cash just burned down,
All the way to the cold hard ground, The Doctors came from all over town, To see the memories scattered all around. Then the stars came out by the light of day. And they heard their old friend passed away. That Yard looked like a funeral hall. Without the pies and casseroles Well, it's goodbye Johnny, goodbye June, And goodbye fancy livin' room Well no one sleeps in Cash's bed Except the man in black and the woman he wed And the ring of fire comes full circle And the ring of fire comes all the way 'round And the ring of fire comes full circle And the ring of fire comes all the way 'round Man if those ashes in the pool could talk, To the anchorman out on the walk |

I was there in my trailer,
Down at the job site The day that this stranger walked in His face looked so sad, and he carried a set of blueprints And as I unrolled them, the first thing I noticed Was there were no doors in the plans He said if you build this for me Then when she comes back She'll never be able to leave me again I said if I did And she ever came back Friend, tell me how would she get in It would just be a prison that I locked you in If you couldn't leave You'd never know if there was someone to love you The way that she didn't before There's two things that I know for sure It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't And you can't build a house with no doors O'while he was quiet, I could tell he was thinking I thought I just ruined his day I just couldn't bear to see this man's last hope slip away So I thought real fast, and I started talking Said Buddy we tried this before, And if there ain't one, she'll make one Either way she'll run And leave you a house with a hole for a door I said if I did And she ever came back Friend, tell me how would she get in It would just be a prison that I locked you in If you couldn't leave You'd never know if there was someone to love you The way that she didn't before If there's two things that I know for sure It's that you can't make a women feel something she don't And you can't build a house with no doors No, you can't make a women feel something she don't And you can't build a house with no doors' |

had to take a break I'd been by her side for eighteen hours straight I saw a flower growing in the middle of the sidewalk pushing up through the concrete like it was planted right there for me to see the flashin' lights, the honkin' horns all seemed to fade away in the shadow of that hospital at 5:08 I saw God today I've been to church I've read the book I know he's here, but I don't look near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I'd just slow down to stop and stare opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today I saw a couple walking by they were holding hands Man, she had that glow yeah I couldn't help but notice she was starting to show it stood there for a minute takin' the sky lost in that sunset a splash of amber melted in the shades of red I've been to church I've read the book I know he's here, but I don't look near as often as I should Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere I'd just slow down to stop and stare opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today I got my face pressed up against the nursery glass She's sleeping like a rock My name on her wrist wearing tiny pink socks She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes My brand new baby girl She's a miracle I saw God today |

Rounding up strays in, this ol' West Texas dust She's been packing her things since I put coffee on By sundown, she'll be gone Damn this ol' girth, worn right in two But a spare length of leather, and I'll make it do Just when I think I've got life by the reins, Home ain't sweet home on the range If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle And she'd say she loved me and this cowboy way of life She'd be right beside me when we rode home tonight If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle |

The first time I met her,
she walked right up to me. And said, "You're who I wanted to find." There was a man she had seen in her dreams. And it was me. She said, "I can't believe it. 'Cause I've never been in here, And I've passed this place so many times." It was her night to find destiny, And it was me. And we danced every song that they played, and talked until closing time. The closer I held her, The more I knew her destiny. Wasn't that far from mine. Than I saw a reflection of someone unfamiliar. Looking back when I looked in her eyes. The happiest man I'd ever seen, And it was me. And we danced every song that they played, and talked until closing time. The closer I held her, The more I knew her destiny. Wasn't that far from mine. She wasn't looking, and I wasn't looking. Ain't it funny? That's when love was found. She still calls it her lucky night, Yeah, someone was lucky. she's right, but it was me. It was me. |

Sometimes I feel like Jesse James, Still trying to make a name. Knowing nothing's gonna change what I am. I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song. And I'll be an old troubadour, when I'm gone. Well, The truth about a mirror, It's that a damned old mirror, Don't really tell the whole truth.

with the girls out on the town but in those magic neon lights I know exactly what you found what about your home? and the man who loves you so Is it worth the thrill you feel down on neon row Chorus: If you're lonely then your easy them good ol' boys just pick and choose and lonely women are in season a one night stand's an all night lose and all those lonely high-heeled ladies are always putting on a show but in the morning putting on coffee and putting back on the clothes they wore the night before to neon row Girl I can't hold you back not one day longer If my love ain't strong enough to keep you home Just start the fire to burn the bridges and maybe some night will lead in the magic light down on neon row ** and putting back on the clothes they wore the night before to neon row |

I couldn't help but overhear your conversation
When you told her that you owned her heart and soul You say you've got her wrapped around your finger But there's somethin' about angels you should know. She'll walk away one step at a time It'll take you by surprise You'll think it happened over night It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly They just walk away one step at a time. Don't think that I'm tryin' to mind your business It's a full time job just tryin' to mind mine But I once had an angel just like her And if I'd treated her right she'd still be by my side. She'll walk away one step at a time It'll take you by surprise You'll think it happened over night It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly They just walk away one step at a time. It'll be too late when you realize angels don't fly They just walk away one step at a time... |

Girl, you were always my yellow rose
And I was your one lone star We always said Together till death do us part We had a love bigger than Texas Where is that feeling now It's taken some hits and losses but it's fighting on And standing somehow. Remember the man who asked for your hand In the moonlight of San Antone There by the mission you let your position be known That you loves me so Don't forget where it started Remember the Alamo. I think we can hold on and make it together If we remember when And get back to love The way that it was back then. When we were hopeless romantics needing each other Willing to take a chance We strolled and we talked down the ol' river walk To the heart of where it began. Remember the man who asked for your hand In the moonlight of San Antone There by the mission you let your position be known That you loves me so Don't forget where it started Remember the Alamo. Remember the man who asked for your hand In the moonlight of San Antone There by the mission you let your position be known That you loves me so Don't forget where it started Don't forget where it started Remember the Alamo... |

Just what I needed The icing on that cake You're leavin' But I give up Throw up my hands There's nothing I can say or do I've done all that I can That's the breaks The way the cookie crumbles What goes around comes around they say That's the breaks The way that ol' cookie crumbles And what's been comin' round Ain't been goin' my way Well surprise me Tell me something new I know leavin's what I got Comin' from you And I'm sorry You know I am But one way or another I'll come through In one piece once again That's the breaks The way the cookie crumbles What goes around comes around they say That's the breaks The way that ol' cookie crumbles And what's been comin' round Ain't been goin' my way That's the breaks The way the cookie crumbles What goes around comes around they say That's the breaks The way that ol' cookie crumbles And what's been comin' round Ain't been goin' my way What's been coming 'round Ain't been going my way That's the breaks |

True in this modern world, when two lovers get together
chances of em ever makin it to forever, couldn't be better than two in a million hearts. Girl this ain't just another run of the mill emotion, What I'm feelin' the definition of devotion, my love for you is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true True not another minute on this earth can be borrowed, so there's no way to know when i'll live my last tomorrow but everyday i get i'll share with you this feelin just keeps getting stronger as the time goes by it's written on my face you can see it in my eyes My love for you is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true True like the sun comin' up each mornin, Bright as the light in a baby's smile, Sure as the mountain river winding, Right as the rain fallin' from the sky, Girl my love for you, is true |

We really shouldn't be doing this and we both know why.
Just being close enough to think like this, enough to make you need to lie. This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere, We're gettin' way too close to going there The farther off the better to resist, we really shouldn't be doing this. Only an isolated incident, but the acquaintance left me stunned. The first attraction was the hardest hit I thought I'd ever overcome. This kinda situation has to pass, this chance encounter has to be the last. To take it further we would be remiss, we really shouldn't be doing this. We'd each be hurting somebody else if we don't say our good-byes real fast. Won't even think about a farewell kiss, we really shouldn't be doing this. Well...

Right here in this moment We could start a love to stand the test of time Baby, you know that's right No one knows tomorrow The mornin' sun could rise and take our chance away Long gone with yesterday.

The laughter is gone
The crying' is over And I'm not losin' sleep anymore The walls are all bare The closet's half empty The phone doesn't ring like before I'm done with fallin' apart I'm waitin' for my change of heart. I wake up alone Knowin' I'm on my own again Got it all straight in my head Must be somethin' I missed As I went down the list Of the things that I need to forget Everything's gone But you haven't left me yet. I painted our room Replaced all the curtains And there's a new rug on the floor Called up the Good Will Said come and get it Everything she left behind is yours I can still see you drivin' away So why do I still see your face When. I wake up alone Knowin' I'm on my own again Got it all straight in my head Must be somethin' I missed As I went down the list Of the things that I need to forget Everything's gone But you haven't left me yet. There's not a picture left Not a stitch of clothes But there's still something here And I don't believe in ghosts I wake up alone Knowin' I'm on my own again Got it all straight in my head Must be somethin' I missed As I went down the list Of the things that I need to forget Everything's gone But you haven't left me yet I wake up alone Knowin' I'm on my own again You haven't left me yet Must be somethin' I missed As I went down the list Oh, You haven't left me yet Everything's gone You haven't left me yet... |

I've never once in my life
Met someone like you I don't know what the word blue means As long as I'm with you You fill me so completely Through everything you do Blue is not a word at all As long as I'm with you Most of the time in my past Blue was all I knew But now that we're together Oh, how I love you I'm so glad I've found you You've made my dreams come true Blue is not a word at all As long as I'm with you Most of the time in my past Blue was all I knew But now that we're together Oh, how I love you I'm so glad I've found you You've made my dreams come true Blue is not a word at all As long as I'm with you... |

Ain't love a strain, ain't it a pain in your heart
I ain't worth the trouble anyhow I'd like to give it up, I've had enough and I've done my part But I'm in too deep to pull out now Good things we've had are going bad and I don't know why I'd turn it around if I knew how I'm pushing aside all my pride and it's worth a try 'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now We need to get our love back on its feet again We've come too far to let it come to an end What can I do, I'm into you up over my heart I've tried all that I know how Doing all I can and I can't stand to see us fall apart And I'm in too deep to pull out now I can't step aside and let you slide right out of my life It would cause more hurt than the law allows I'll get us back on the track and it'll be allright 'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now 'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now |

A jukebox introduced us
When the 60's were still young, If you got the money, Honey got my nickels one by one, I tried to imatate that song, It's not right but lefty's gone, Now always late breaks my heart And every song he sang I played the part, I heard he was sad and lived alone, It's not right but lefty's gone. He played the fair in dallas one year In the cold october rain, Most folks stayed home in one But he sang just the same, I caught a chill before I got home, It's not right but lefty's gone, Now always late breaks my heart And every song he sang I played the part, I heard he was sad and lived alone, It's not right but lefty's gone. It don't seem like he was around that long, It's not right but lefty's gone... |

She looked so much like a lady
But she was so much like a child A devil when she held me close An angel when she smiled She always held it deep inside But somehow I always knew She'd go away when the grass turned green And the sky turned baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight She brought colors to my life That my eyes had never touched And when she taught me how to care I never cared so much I try not to think of her but I fall asleep and do And drift off where the grass is green And the sky is baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight |

What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily She just got all her things, threw 'em into a pile Then she loaded her car and said after a while She'd done this before, but this time she didnt cry. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye. All the times before' she'd break down and cry She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye She just wanetd me to hear what she had to say Now I'm lost for words, saying she went away She may not return for this time she didn't cry. That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps, starin' down the road Wondering if she'll come back this time, I dont know After she packed when she looked back, There were no tears in her eyes, and that's got me worried, Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye.

As she walked through the door I couldn't care less If she didn't care anymore And with tears in my eyes, I lied I was glad we were through As she drove away crying At the famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool The first night without her would be easy I kept tellin' myself All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin' Somewhere else There'll be nothin' to it I'll easily find someone new As my breaking heart echoes The famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool You won't break my heart And I don't love you Famous last words of a fool |

I got sent home from school one day
With a shiner on my eye Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why When Dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed Then stood there on those tremblin' knees And waited for the worst He said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" He said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then, It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy Was just like my father's son And when I thought my patience Had been tested to the end I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" I said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake If they know half the things I've done They'll never let me in Then somewhere from the other side I heard those words again They said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us You see, daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" |

Well, I haven't seen her lately, and she never calls.
She don't ask my friends about me, gives no clues at all. That a fire might still be burnin', yeah, But, I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get. She don't even show up in my dreams at night, But my stubborn ol' memory keeps holdin' on tight. Sure makes it hard to forget She's about as gone as a girl can get. She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace. More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face. Her destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight, Last seen headin' right on out of my life.

Who must think I've got it made From all outward appearances I guess it looks that way I've got good friends and family They let me know they care I got a job to keep me going And a car to get me there I'm holding my own But I'd rather be holding you I can make it alone But not like I made it with you Without you here This house just aint no home How long can I go on holding my own There's brand new show that's playing At the movies down the street I'll probably go there after work Then stop somewhere to eat I've got cable on my TV And I'll leave her on all night While I dose off to sleep And dream that I'm alright I'm holding my own But I'd rather be holding you I can make it alone But not like I made it with you Without you here This house just aint no home How long can I go on holding my own How long can I go on holding my own |

I know that I surprised you coming home,
It's not my usual time of year; but I've got myself a problem, And I know that I might find the answer here. Remember when I was dad's pride and joy and your little man, Every time that I got hurt you were there to give a hand. You would pick me up, and you'd kiss my hurt away. Remember what you'd say, "Boy you're getting more like him each and every day." Can we have a talk like it was yesterday? Your boy is back in trouble and he needs you right away. She says she's gonna leave me, momma. Nothing on God's green Earth would make her stay. I can't live without her, momma, But this time you can't kiss the hurt away. But if I'm so much like my dad, There must have been times you felt her way. So tell me word for word what he said that always made you stay. She says she's gonna leave me, momma. But if I'm so much like my dad, There must have been times you felt her way. So tell me word for word what he said That always made you stay. |

I was five years old
When daddy started packing And I stood there by my momma As she cried And the next thing that we knew Some old train came passing through And daddy got on board And we ain't seen him no more. I wonder why trains make me lonesome It happens everytime that engine moans some And when I hear that whistle blow It makes my heart sink low And I wonder why trains make me lonesome. It was a cold dark night When I drove her to the depot There were tears in my eyes And a ticket in her hand And as we stood there by those tracks I knew she wasn't coming back So I turned and walked away But I still miss her today. I wonder why trains make me lonesome It happens everytime that engine moans some Now, when I hear that whistle blow It makes my heart sink low And I wonder why trains make me lonesome. Those blocks looked like little stations Those ink spots look like engine No. 9 And this couch on which I lay Suppose to haul my blues away That old pipe you keep toking Is like an old coal engine smoking. I wonder why trains make me lonesome It happens everytime that engine moans some And when I hear that whistle blow It makes my heart sink low And I wonder why trains make me lonesome. Oh yes, I wonder why trains make me lonesome... |

What kind of a world would it be
For you without me Would you think its a better world, Or would you be lonely And if your love for me should die, Would you even say goodbye Or would you just walk away Into the dark of night. Sometimes I need assurance of your love All your thoughts and gentle touch Only kings are worthy of And at these times you take me by the hand Like a child you lead me through A wonderland of love. I can't visualize without you by my side, Life would be meaningless Like some of them skies Girl, you show me everyday, You're love in everyway I'm afraid it's all a dream, That'll favor your awake Sometimes I need assurance of your love All your thoughts and gentle touch. Only kings are worthy of And at these times you take me by the hand And Like a child you lead me through A wonderland of love A wonderland of love... |

I'm drifting into deep water,
I'm startin' to care for you. You're gettin' me in deep water, Be careful what you do. You want a romance, but I'm seeking love. I know I'll regret it when it ends. I'm windin' up in deep water. Why can't we just be friends? There's restless and there's deep water. I'm lost between right and wrong. My love is true as deep water. Your love won't last as long. Where will it lead me and where will it end? I can't help but wish I only knew. I'm winding up in deep water. So deep in love with you... |

Let's turn the lights down soft and low
And watch the fire embers glow Let's lock the world outside the door This is the night we've been waiting for. The moon is shining through the window pane I hear the echo of a passing train Taking someone's lover far away But in your arms is where I wanna stay. Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl And now that I've found you I'm never gonna let you go Let your hair fall across your breast Show me the warmth of your soft caress The music's playin' soft and slow We're driftin' into the afterglow Tonight I'm the luckiest man in the world Wrapped in the arms of a beautiful girl And now that I've found you I'm never gonna let you go I'm never gonna let you go I'm never gonna let you go I'm never gonna let you go... |

I thought you and me were something special;
Thought you thought that way too. Now I know that this ol' boy just ain't The best you think you'll ever do. It ain't cool to be crazy about you, It ain't suave or debonair To let you know I care, like I do. It ain't smart to be so reckless with my heart. I should have known right from the start I'd end up like a fool Believe me, it ain't cool. All of my friends, they tried to tell me What and what not to do. It took a while for them to sell me, But finally they got through. It ain't cool to be crazy about you, It ain't suave or debonair To let you know I care, like I do. It ain't smart to be so reckless with my heart. I should have known right from the start I'd end up like a fool Believe me, it ain't cool |

Just a one pump fil-in station
Lord and one old general store I found her in that wide spot in the road And the brightest lights she'd ever seen Were the headlights on my pickup Till she saw the lights behind those swinging doors And everywhere she goes She leaves the jukebox smoking Everywhere she's been There's ashes on the ground I see the glow in the sky Through the teardrops in my eyes My old flame's out burning Another honky tonk down So country, young and pretty She's never been no where before And I lost her behind those swinging doors Now it's just me and my old pickup Making every joint in town Cuz tonight she's out somewhere to burn one down And everywhere she goes She leaves the jukebox smoking Everywhere she's been There's ashes on the ground I see the glow in the sky Through the teardrops in my eyes My old flame's out burning Another honky tonk down My old flame's out burning Another honky tonk down |

I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire
To that old flame that burns inside of me. She cried when I left her, now I cry to forget her. Oh, how foolish I was to ever want to leave. 'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her. I had to be crazy to say goodbye. Nobody in his right mind would've left her. Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind. I still carry her picture; I wish her well With the new love I know she's found by now. Each night finds me dreamin', each day I spend thinkin' How much I wish she was still around. 'Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her. I had to be crazy to say goodbye. Nobody in his right mind would've left her. Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind. |

I'd rather be home,
But I make my livin' on the go Big silver eagle spreads her wings And drops us at another show I think about holdin' my baby tonight As I listin to the big wheels roll Three days into a six week tour, Gettin' in the rhythm of the road We pick and sing, Say "goodnight" then we'll be flyin' My world's a chain of one-night-stands Strung together by the center line I don't know where I'll wake up tomorrow, But I can't let the tempo slow Every town is just another beat, Livin' in the rhythm of the road The rhythm of the road's got a mind of its own If you find it it'll drive you insane Like the clackity-clack of a railroad track I'm rattlin' like an old freight train Towns are flashin' by, the folks are wavin' "hi" They all start to look the same Gotta stop for a minute, be glad I'm in it Remember just why I came Those highway signs, Lord, they keep me on the move I think about givin' it up sometimes, And gettin' in a diff'ren groove But I just let the days slide by, Get goin' with the flow A four/four beat's the only time I keep, Livin' in the rhythm of the road A four/four beat's the only time I keep, Livin' in the rhythm of the road Livin' in the rhythm of the road... |

But somebody else came along And took you're love away And tonight as I lay here All alone in this room He's out there some where Takin' my place Stranger things have happened to me And it's getting all over town That stranger things have happened to me That stranger is holding her now She said, I had better stop running around Or she was gonna find somebody new And that lady meant it Because, now she's gone And someone else is walking in my shoes Stranger things have happened to me And it's getting all over town That stranger things have happened to me That stranger is holding her now That stranger is holding her now... |

I feel the same way that I always have.
You still get to me, like you used to do. I can't complain dear you make my life complete. After all this time honey, it's still true. I want to thank you over and over. I'm gonna love you through and through. If you changed dear, you just got better. You still get to me, like you used to do. When I'm down, dear, there's no way I can hide. You still get to me, like you used to do. And if I feel blue, your love is like a light That you shine for me just to see me through. I'm here to tell you over and over I just love you 'cause you're you. If you changed sweet heart, you just got better. You still get to me, like you used to do... |

Nervous wreck I can't believe she said goodbye Sit and smoke Cry and joke About these tears in my eyes How could you do what you gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you A million times A million lines and I bought 'em every one You don't care You rip and tear every dream I've counted on I guess I should thank my unlucky stars That I'm alive And you're the way you are But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you How could you do what you gone and done to me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me But that's what I get I've come to expect it from you I could raise hell But what the hell it wouldn't do a bit of good I can leave My heart agrees it seems to think that I should There won't be no more next time doing me wrong You'll come back this time to find that I'm gone But that's what you get You should expect that from me That's what I get I've come to expect it from you. |

I own this horse and saddle
And that ole Cadillac This broken down horse trailer And the clothes that are on my back I know that it ain't, a hell of a lot. But it's all that I can show, For 17 yrs makin my livin' ridin the rodeo. My wife left me 5 yrs ago In one of them rodeo towns I c-ain't say that I blame her much, She just wanted to settle down. Oh God how I miss that woman And it hurt so to see her go. But if I was smart I woulda stuck by her But I'm hooked on this rodeo. Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy I'm a little bit over the hill. I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago But I guess I never will So I keep on movin from hopin to change my luck. My good ole days are all a memory But I just can't give it up. There was a time I used to do alright And bring home my share a dough But now I'm losin out to the younger boys I guess I must be gettin slow. If there's one thing you learn from this, You gotta make it on your own. Cause when your on top you got a million friends But when your down Buddy your all alone. Now I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy I'm a little bit over the hill I should quit this thing a long time ago But I guess I never will. So I keep on moving from hopin to change my luck. My good ole days are all a memory But I just c-ain't give it up. My good ole days are all a memory but I just c-ain't give it up. |

I got sent home from school one day
With a shiner on my eye Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why When Dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed Then stood there on those tremblin' knees And waited for the worst He said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" He said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then, It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy Was just like my father's son And when I thought my patience Had been tested to the end I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us" I said, "Daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake If they know half the things I've done They'll never let me in Then somewhere from the other side I heard those words again They said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love A secret that my daddy said was just between us You see, daddies don't just love their children Every now and then It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen" |

She looked so much like a lady
But she was so much like a child A devil when she held me close An angel when she smiled She always held it deep inside But somehow I always knew She'd go away when the grass turned green And the sky turned baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight She brought colors to my life That my eyes had never touched And when she taught me how to care I never cared so much I try not to think of her but I fall asleep and do And drift off where the grass is green And the sky is baby blue Baby Blue was the color of her eyes Baby Blue like the Colorado skies Like a breath of spring she came and left And I still don't know why so Here's to you and whoever holds my Baby Blue tonight |

Is it that time agian,
Closing times closing in Are they turning out the lights Must I go home? 'Cause her memory Is haunting me, Waiting there to see I'm not known, I know I just can't stand another lonely night This man is going out Out of his mind Since you left me behind, Since you left me behind. Am I the last one here Please just one more beer, And i'll be on my way back to the blues. Back down lonely street, To a house that's steep, With nothing but a line of bad news, I know I just can't stand another lonely night This man is going out, Out of his mind, Since you left me behind, Since you left me behind. I know I just can't stand another lonely night This man is going out, Out of his mind, Since you left me behind, Since you left me behind... |

Without you here with me But you just turned and walked away And now that I've found somebody new You've changed your tune You want me back but all I can say It's too late now Just tell me how long did you think I'd be your fool And I would sit right here an' wait For you to make up Your mind to show up Well, just turn around I'm sorry it's too late now Well, didn't I tell you that one of these days It would be too late To say you'd made a big mistake And now you've come back Like you've never been gone Well, baby you're wrong Somebody else has taken your place It's too late now Just tell me how long did you think I'd be your fool And I would sit right here an' wait For you to make up Your mind to show up Well, just turn around I'm sorry it's too late now... |

from George Strait - If You Ain`T Lovin You Ain`T Livin (2006)
Dont' need your love
On a silver platter Let's get down to the nitty grit Let's cut out all the chatter Get to the heart of the matter Honey, let's get down to it Let's get down to some huggin' and some squeezin' Arm in arm We'd be a perfect fit So put a freeze on the teasin' Let's get on with the pleasin' Honey, let's get down to it I know that you want to I can see it when I look into those big green eye's Baby let's come to grits Don't play so hard to get Honey, let's get down to it I get a chill every time your near me You've got my heart doin' flips I only aim to please If you'd let go you'd see Honey, let's get down to it I know that you want to I can see it when I look into those big green eye's Baby let's come to grits Don't play so hard to get Honey, let's get down to it Honey, let's get down to it... |
