Toby Keith

Now those might be the saddest,
Big 'ol baby blues I ever seen.
How did I know, you'd been cryin'?
Baby, you got make-up runnin' down your cheek.
You're just a Queen lookin' for a crown,
Lost when you stumbled over some silly clown.

Take that frown,
Turn it upside down,
'Cause you never know who might be,
Fallin' in love with your smile.

A broken heart that's on the mend,
Takes a little time, I realise.
An' right now you wouldn't know,
True love if it looked you in the eye.
Girl, I did my best; I really tried to make you grin.
An' before I say goodbye, I'm gonna tell you again.

Take your frown,
Turn it upside down,
Oh, you never know who might be,
Fallin' in love with your smile.

<i>[Instrumental Break]</i>

Take your frown,
An' turn it upside down,
Oh, you never know who might be,
Fallin' in love with your smile.

Those might be the saddest,
Big 'ol baby blues I ever seen.

I've got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time

There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity

You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around

They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again

Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know

You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around

They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Kiss me again

I don't need this conversation
'Cause I don't need to see you cry
You need one more confirmation
Like I need one more reason why

I know this might not be the answer
Oh, that you came here to get
We both know that girl is somethin'
That I'm still not over yet

I cant go on using you
Girl, it feels like I'm losin' you
A love like yours is hard to find
But you caught me at a bad time

I knew that you'd be waiting
The night I made that desperate call
You weren't everything I needed
Just the softest place to fall

So I'm not gonna lie to you
Just keep stringing you along
Thought by now that I'd be better
But I guess I'm not that strong

And I can't go on using you
Oh, it feels like I'm losin' you
A love like yours is hard to find
You've caught me at a bad time

A love like yours is hard to find
You've caught me at a bad time

Why'd you have to wear that dress this evening
And those high heels with those buckles on your feet?
I love the way your hair falls down across your shoulders
But you ain't gonna hear that from me

You got my heart racing like a freight train
Wishin' you and me were somewhere else
I know how good it's gonna be when we get to where we're goin'
Think I'd better keep it to myself

'Cause baby, I can't tell you what I'm thinking
I've had way too much to drink tonight
Oh, this is where I usually say something out of line
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

Every time we dance we're getting closer
And I'd like too say a thing or two about it
But trust me you don't wanna get me talkin'
I'm better off just dancin' all around it

'Cause baby, I can't tell you what I'm thinking
I've had way too much to drink tonight
Oh, this is where I usually say something out of line
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

'Cause baby I can't tell you what I'm thinking
I've had way too much to drink tonight
Oh, this is where I usually say something out of line
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

Oh, the road to love is paid with good intentions
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind
Just be glad that right now you can't read my mind

I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' red hen
Up all night wonderin' where I been
I'd fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed outloud I guess you thought it was funny
I s

Till death do us part
Was what she told that preacher man
Now she says this ain't worth dying for
She's had all she can stand

She's boxed up momma's china
It's loaded on the truck
She just got started packing
And I'm thinking this could suck

Now there goes my Lazy-Boy
My flat-top guitar
Here comes her big sister
What's she doing in my car

As they drive off to the city
I just wave
From the top of my lungs
I hope she heard me say

You ain't leaving thank God are you
You can't be gone fast enough
What seemed to take a lifetime
Just left in a cloud of dust
This will make my girlfriend happy
She's the one who never thought you would
You ain't leaving thank God are you
Let us pray you're gone for good

She forgot her new laptop
So I know she'll be back
I'll have a hot tub full of hotties
Icing down a twenty four pack

She'll cuss me like a sailor
But I don't care
I'll have a few choice words
When I come up for air

You ain't leaving thank God are you
You can't be gone fast enough
What seemed to take a lifetime
Just left in a cloud of dust
This will make my girlfriend happy
She's the one who never thought you would
You ain't leaving thank God are you
Let us pray you're gone for good

You ain't leaving thank God are you
Let us pray you're gone for good

Adios

Had this dream forever
And it's comin' true at last
Now lookin' back, the hard times
Were just lessons from the past
I finally climbed the highest mountain
Now I'm standing tall
There were sacrifices made
But now the price is paid
To you I owe it all
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am
I know I never told you
How much I depend on you
But at my weakest moment
You were strong and pulled me through
You've been standing in the shadows
You're still trying to
But to watch you step aside
Let me take this ride
Is something I can't do
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I am who I am
You've always been my guiding light
Leading the way through love and life
You're not the woman behind the man
You are the reason I'm who I am

I didn't call you up and tell you
Girl, I'm sorry, with whiskey on my breath
I didn't ask you to forgive me
'Cause girl, I know you haven't yet

I didn't midnight knock your front door
Catch you scared to be alone
I didn't wake up with an empty bottle, baby
Just kinda woke up on my own

For the first time in forever I see clearly why you're gone
Didn't open up my eyes because you said goodbye, baby
Just kinda woke up on my own

I didn't find strength in a stranger, I didn't go to bed all stoned
And I didn't come to see the light this morning, baby
Just kinda woke up on my own
I didn't come to see the light this morning, baby
Just kinda woke up on my own

Here you come knockin on my door baby
Tell me what you got on your mind
I guess those college boys all went home for the summertime
And youre lookin right, lookin good, lookin like a woman should
So why is it so hard to find
A place to lay your pretty little head down once in a while
You run on a little tough luck baby
Dont you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for you
You know I got it
Come and get it
Whos your daddy, whos your baby?
Whos your buddy, whos your friend?
And whos the one guy that you come runnin to
When your lovelife starts tumblin?
I got the money if you got the honey
Lets cut a deal lets make a plan
Whos your daddy, whos your baby?
Whos your buddy, whos your man?
You mightve run on a little tough luck baby
Dont you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for you
You know I got it
So come and get it
Whos your daddy, whos your baby?
Whos your buddy, whos your man?

Turn left at the old hotel
I know this boulevard much too well it hasn't changed since I been gone
Oh this used to be my way home
They paved the road thru the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed good it was gettin' rough
Someone finally complained enough
Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while oh it's plain to see
The only thing missing is me
That's my house and that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life
If I pulled in would it cause a scene
There not really expectin me those kid's have been thru hell
I hear they've adjusted well
Turn around in the neigbors drive
I'd be hard to recognise in this pick-up truck
It's just an old fixer up
Drive away one more time
Lot of things runnin' thru my mind I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same
That's my house and that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life
That's my house and that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Who's that man, runnin' my life

Don't my baby look good in them blue jeans?
Tight on the top with a belly button ring
A little tatoo somewhere in between
She only shows to me

Hey we're going out dancin' she's ready tonight
So damn good-lookin' boys it ain't even right
And when bar tender says for the lady
what's it gonna be?
I tell him man ...

[Chorus]
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose
And, she can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in taquilla
She needs somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey Girl
My Ragged-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough

Baby got a '69 mustang
four on the floor, and you ought to hear the pipes ring
I jump behind the wheel and it's away we go
Hey, I drive too fast, but she don't care

Blue bandana tied all up in her hair
Just sittin' there singin' every song on the radieo

[Chorus x2]

Whoa she's my little whiskey girl
my raggid-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Yeah, I like 'em rough
I liek 'em rough

June fell for Johnny on the Forth of July,
As the fireworks popped in the summer sky.
With a spark in her eye, she just there an' stared,
As his face lit up to the rocket's red glare.
An' by September, she'd asked him for a weddiing band.
How could she know he was a ramblin' man.
He walked out the door in the dead of the night.
An' a sleepy voice whispered, as he turned out the light:

"Where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"Oh, you're never gonna find,
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"If you get tired of runnin',
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."

He called up to tell her he missed her a lot.
Texas Panhandle was as far as he got.
He'd run out money, he'd run of luck:
He'd run out of gas in his pick-up truck.
"Hitch a ride, catch a train or a Greyhound bus,
"'Cause there's a baby on the way an' that makes three of us.
"An' I need you here beside me, I can't go it alone,"
She told him one more time then she hung up the 'phone,

Sayin': "Where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You know, you're never gonna find,
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"When you get tired of runnin',
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."

An' the years just seemed to roll on by them.
She missed him more an' more every day.
An' that boy grew up to look and act just like him,
An' she knew some day soon he'd be old enough to fly away.

An' she'd say: "Baby, where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You know, you're never gonna find,
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"When you get tired of runnin',
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."

"If you ever get tired of runnin',
"Turn around an' walk back to me."

Going through the motions pretending to be
The man you used to see in me baby
You don't want to hurt me so you play along
And it don't feel right, and it don't feel wrong
It just feels like a memory
Barely alive
When will we let it die

Where do you run
Where do you hide
After a prmise breaks
Who'll be the one
To say goodbye
And who'll be the one to stay
When love fades

How are we gonna let go of something that's gone
Ain't it funny how a broken heart just keeps hangin' on baby
You watched me walk away
And I set you free
But I come back to you and you come back to me
I guess it beats being lonely that's the reason why
We give it one more try

Where do you run
Where do you hide
After a promise breaks
Who'll be the one
To say goodbye
And who'll be the one to stay
When love fades
When love fades

Where do you run
Where do you hide
After a promise breaks
Who'll be the one
To say goodbye
And who'll be the one to stay
When love fades
When love fades

I always heard that his her was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don't knock it till you've tried it.
And I've tried it my friend.
I'll never smoke Weed with willie again!

Now we learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town
He fired up a fat boy and he passed it around
The last words I spoke before they tucked me in
I may discount Bungee jump but,
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[Chorus]
I'll never smoke weed with Willie again
My party's all over beofer it begins
You can't pour me some old whiskey River my friend.
But I'll never smoke weed with Willie again

We hopped on his old bus the Honeysuckel Rose
The party was Huntsville, but it was after the show
Alone in the front lounge, just me and him
I took one friendly puff and the grim creeper set in

[Chorus]

Now we're passin' the guitar, we're tellin' good jokes
I can tell one's a comin' 'cause I'm smellin' smoke
No I do not partake I just let it pass by
With a grin on my face and a great contact high

[Chorus]

In the fetal position with drool on my chin
We broke down and smoked weed with Willie again

Word sure gets around in a tattle tale town
That why she never goes out at night
But when her kids go to school and her husband's gone too
She gets in her care and she drives
To a little motel on the outskirts of town
Puts on her perfume and turns the bed down
And I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret
Her husband's always working and he's never home
When he's there with her he's still gone
And she can't stand living and loving alone
Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let it show
I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret
It's PTA meetings, warm social greetings
A woman's work never gets done
It's church Sunday, it starts again Monday
Seems she's always on the run
And she gets so lonely it tears her in two
That's when she does what a woman must do
And I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret
Her husband's always working and he's never home
When he's there with her he's still gone
And she can't stand living and loving alone
Well she's got her children to raise, that's why she can't let it show
I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret
Ah she's got her children to raise that's why she can't let it show
I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret
Yeah I'm the only one who knows Victoria's secret

I bought a card down at the drugstore
It said I'm thinkin' of you
I'm put some flowers on the table
But I know you won't be home
These are some of the little things
That I do 'cause I still love you
And today might be the hardest day
I've had since you been gone
Valentine, girl do you still think about me
I still wake up at night callin' out your name
And the roses are there
Paper hearts are everywhere
But the fourteenth of February
Will never been the same
Where did we go wrong Val
I thought we had it made
Was it just my wishful thinkin'
Is it supposed to be this way
Oh but I still feel the magic
That comes this time of year
When everybody's got a sweetheart
And I'm wishin' that you were here
Valentine, girl do you still think about me
I still wake up at night callin' out your name
And the roses are there
Paper hearts are everywhere
But the fourteenth of February
Will never been the same
Valentine, girl do you still think about me
I still wake up at night callin' out your name
And the roses are there
Paper hearts are everywhere
But the fourteenth of February
Will never been the same

Route 14 Box 308
She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate
Hoping she would find her a place in the world
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes
It almost made her daddy cry
He said don't forget to call when you get there girl.
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Moving upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good
All bills paid and a room with a view
She's unpacked a dish or two
She just got her phone turned on today
There's a big, old world waiting just outside
As she's thumbing through the classifieds
Looking for work and any old job's okay
Driving on that cross-town freeway hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Living upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good
Then she lost her job at the grocery store
And the wolf came knocking at the door
The red notice said they turned off her telephone
There's nothing left for her to do so she's packed up a thing or two
Loaded her car down, now she's headed home
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Living upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got back to the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good

Everybody knows how much he meant to you, baby
But you still insist that your heart's alright
I can see that he's about to get the best of you, maybe
You're too ashamed to cry and it's gettin' hard to hide
It's gonna get bad, before it gets better
You c

It's as sad as it's true
But I can't believe a word that you say
I've been hoping for the best
But there's less and less more everyday
You can't where you been
Behind that little grin
I can see
Girl you can't fool me
You've gone
A little too far this time
You stepped one doorstep over the line
Swore you'd always be mine
I'd never leave you behind
But you've gone
A little too far this time

You can tell me how it happened
Still I'd never understand why
All I can keep thinking is
He sure must be one hell of a guy
You can't blame no one else
You brought it all on yourself
Now it's gone
And it's time on cuz
You've gone
A little too far this time
You stepped one doorstep over the line
Swore you'd always be mine
I'd never leave you behind
But you've gone
Just a little too far this time

You've gone
A little too far this time
You stepped one doorstep over the line
Swore you'd always be mine
I'd never leave you behind
But you've gone
A little too far this time
Girl you've gone
Just a little too far this time

Ain't got no tricks up my sleeve
Ain't got no reason to believe
I've been looking for a sign
Love shouldn't be so hard to find
I've been sleeping on your couch
Just been layin' here alone.
I've been doing without
Oh, you've been doing me wrong
Nothing left here to decide
I think it's time for me to ride ...

[Chorus]
Put my bike out on the highway
Feel that wind all in my face
Breathe some air that tastes like freedom
Yeah, let that be my saving grace
Sombody loved, somebody lied
I believe it's time for me to ride

Should've known right from the start
I couldn't tame your faithless heart
I could see the writing on the wall
I've never been the kind to crawl
Girl you're never satisfied
I believe it's time for me to ride

[Chorus x2]

Somebody loved, somebody lied
I believe it's time for me to ride

I'm just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin' man
I got a little 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real cool and they got out of hand when they moved in
They call themselves the Taliban
(ooooo yeah the taliban) (taliban baby)

Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me, nah she can't stand
The Taliban (ooo taliban baby)

You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do just fine down in Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban

I Know where you comeing from brother, This is a patriotic love song,so y'all feel free
to salute if ya want to, i give ya permission.

Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would, stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said "Now, you
sons of bitches you better not be doin any business with the taliban"

So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
And then those big U.S. jets came flyin one night
They dropped little bombs all over our holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran

You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do real fine down around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair audo and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban

we'll bid a fair adieu and give a big boner to The Taliban (the Taliban)

There's a band called The Lonely playin' downtown tonight
And man, they know their way around the blues
There's not an empty space in the parkin' lot
And there's a line stretchin' around the block
And the sad man standin' at the door says the place is full of broken hearts
If you're here to see The Lonely, if you're here to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only for The Lonely
Oh, you can dance with a stranger under the smoky blue lights
You can stand alone with lovers who love to lose
You can drown in your pain if there's room at the bar
You can hide your tears, you can cry in the dark
While The Lonely sings a song straight to your broken heart
If you're here to see The Lonely, if you're here to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only
If you're here to see The Lonely, if you're here to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only
If you're here to see The Lonely, if you're here to see The Lonely
If you're here to see The Lonely, if you're here to see The Lonely
It's standin' room only

Tell it like it is
He gets up real early on his morning drive
Down to the office for his 9 to 5
He drives a '94 twotone economy car
Loves to tell the local bands down at the bar
That he's the critic
Yea, I can hook you up
I know everybody in the business

He flunked junior high band
He couldn't march in time
He tried to write a song once
But he couldn't make it rhyme
He learned two or three chords
On a pawn shop guitar
He just never quite had what it took to be a star

So he's a critic
I work for The Gazette man
I got a real job

He did a five star column on a band you've never heard
He did a bluegrass review without an unkind word
He thought it was time to ask his boss for a raise
His boss said 'I can't even tell if anybody is even reading your page'
Yea

So he thought, and he thought a little more
He caught a young hot star headed into town
And then he hid behind his typewriter and gunned the boy down
Here come the letters, the emails, the faxes
They raised him to 20,000 dollars after taxes
He's a happy critic
Yea, he's rollin' in the dough
Man I could do this forever, this is easy
They are all reading my column
Please don't tell my mom
That I write the music column for The Gazette
She still thinks that I play piano down at the cathouse

Let's get funky with this now boys
Play it on
Come on Shannon
There's old Biff jumpin' in
Glenn's laying it down
Come on Shannon
My man Steve
Man my fingers are getting tired
Y'all gonna have to hurry here
This snappin' thing's wearin' me out
There's old Shannon
I guess he was on a coffee break
They're gonna love you
'Cause they already love me
Yea, it's the critic

I woke up in bed last night when something came upon me
I was not lying there alone but Ive never felt so lonely
Somethings come between us, girl feels like weve hit a wall
How can I know just how you feel when we dont touch at all
This no communication thing is quickly growing old
This isolation booth Im in is dark and turning cold
I used to steal your breath away with just one little kiss
Me and you, we were so in love back then but thats not how it is
But Id catch moonlight in a bottle if we could drink a toast to happiness
Fill my pickup bed with roses and back it right up to your door
Id write your name in candy kisses from here to Carolina
If you change your mind and love me like before but thats not how it is
I have tossed and turned and rolled it over in my mind
Not knowing all the questions make the answers hard to find
I think Ive covered everything but still theres something that Ive missed
I used to read you baby like a book but thats not how it is
But Id catch moonlight in a bottle if we could drink a toast to happiness
Fill my pickup bed with roses and back it right up to your door
Id write your name in candy kisses from here to Carolina
If you change your mind and love me like before but thats not how it is
Id write your name in candy kisses from here to Carolina
If you change your mind and love me like before but thats not how it is
Thats not how it is
Thats not how it is

I know sometimes you need me to be tender
I don't give you much to go on
So I'm amazed at how you hold on to me
Baby girl I've never been this close before
Never opened up that door
I'm still finding my way

Something else that lovers do
When I've been by myself
Never had to talk about
Movin' in with someone else

<i>[Chorus]</i>
Then you kiss my face
And it makes me smile
Girl I want to lay with you,
Right here with you
For a little while
When I feel that rush
Coming down all over me
You're as fas as I can see
That's tender as I wanna be
Tender as I wanna be
Girl it's so tender

No maybe it's that hard
To find someone to please me
Or it could be that real true love
Sometimes don't come easy
No it don't come easy

<i>[Chorus]</i>

She came through the front door lookin' fast as a big train
Bookin' down the line
And she was lookin' fine
Long and lean and dressed to kill
Stacked up high with perfect wheels
and there ain't no chance, that girl would ever dance with me
She got all those city boys pushin' and shovin'
A counrty boy like me don't ever get no uptown lovin'

She's Sweet, she's got 'em melting in her hand
Whoever gets a taste of that cup of sugar
Sure is a lucky man
She's sweet, tellin you boys
She's babelicious, I can't reach that Georgia peach
But she sure looks delicious

I had nothing else to do
So I threw down two more shots of booze
And it made me strong
I strapped my courage on
I said 'would you like a drink?
'By chance, no what I mean is would you like to dance with me?
Please.' in my best southern ease
It got hot on the dance floor when she whispered in my ear
'I think I found my county boy, let's get out of here.'

I said 'sweet'.
I'm melting in her hand
I feel like a spoon in a cup of blonde sugar
Y'all looking at the lucky man
I said 'sweet'
mmm boys she's babelicious
That Georgia peach is now in my reach
And don't she look delicious?

Look here now, she's sweet
I'm melting in her hand
I feel like a spoon in a cup of blonde sugar
Y'all looing at the lucky man
She's sweet, mmm boys she's babelicious
That Georgia peach is now in my reach
And don't she look delicious?
She's sweet.

She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
I can't get enough of my baby's huggin' and kissin'
I never knew a girl who could do what she's doing to me
With just one touch she cast a spell
I'm tangled up, I can't help myself
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
The boys call me up and want to tell me
About the fun I've been missing
They want to know why I let her keep me under
Lock and key
But I got what they're looking for
When she gets me behind close doors
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me
She's some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is I wanna be
She's got some kinda good kinda hold on me

I bet you've never heard ol' Marshall Dillion say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
Settling down would you marry me
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please
She'd of said yes in a New York minute
They never tied the knot
His heart wasn't in it
He stole a kiss as he road away
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place
I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's heart
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should've been a cowboy
I might of had a side kick with a funny name
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
Ending up on the brink of danger
Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
Go west yound man, haven't you been told
California's full of whisky, women and gold
Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars
Dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart
I should've been a Cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should've been a cowboy
I should've been a Cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
I'd be wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should've been a Cowboy
Yeah I should've been a Cowboy
Yeah I should've been a Cowboy

I took Lisa down to the cafe
The one where we first fell in love
I played the same song that we used to dance to
Hopin' it might be enough
But when I told her I was sorry
That only made it worse
Then the waitress came over and saw Lisa cryin'
Said honey what's the matter with her
There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
She's as pure as she can be
She'd never say, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you she's broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But there's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry
Could you bring us two cups of coffee
We might be here for a while
Make mine black and hers sweet as sugar
Something that matches her smile
She's already loved me for half of her life
She's never been untrue
So let me tell you before you ask her
If there's anything you can do
There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
She's as pure as she can be
She'd never say, but the only mistake she ever made was me
It might appear to you she's broken
By the teardrops in her eyes
But there's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry
There's nothin' wrong with her, she's perfect
I'm the one who made her cry

It's not because she's always satisfied
Or that she's so easy to please
She showed me what love's about
That's for sure and I don't mean maybe
Absolutely, there's no doubt, boys
Nothin' too good for my baby
She's gotta have it, she's gonna get it
That's

She ain't shy
She's outspoken boy
She always speaks her mind
Except those quiet little moments
When I am all she needs
And I hold her tenderly
She only gets that way with me

She don't cry
Some how she seems to keep it all inside
Until those magic little moments
When I am all she needs
And the love is good you see
She only gets that way to me

And she gets sad sometimes
She'll never show it
You might make her mad
But you'll never know it
She don't wear her heart out on her sleeve
She only gets that way with me

And she ain't weak
My baby's just as strong as she can be
Until those nights she comes and tells me
That the want to in my eyes
Gives her butterflies
She only gets that way with me
She only gets that way with me
She only gets that way with me
Thank God she only gets that way with me

Ah, yeah
I don't know where they come from, man,
I ain't seen that much luggage in my life
She was always bad about leavin', especially every time I done her wrong
This time she might be through believin' me
Yeah this time she might be good as gone gone goneWe'd still be together but she left me
I got mad about it but it never did upset me
She'll Remember me until the day she forgets me
We'd still be together but she left me
She took everything I had except some change that she left laying in an ashtray
I guess I got that going for me if I plan on looking at it that way
She loaded up my boat and my motor
She took off with my guitar and my guns
I heard she ran away with my best friend Jake
And I know I'm gonna miss him when its all said and doneMy baby left me

I gave up on cigarettes to the day, I ain't touched one yet
But tonight, I think I'm gonna burn the whole pack.
I laid off 90 proof, ain't had a drop in years and thats the truth
But tonight, when I light the first on, I'm gonna open up the Jack

(
)
She ain't
ed on me no more
She ain't
ed on me no more
The one thing that always hurt her the most
Is the one thing she finally quit fighting for
She ain't
ed on me no more
She ain't
ed on me no more
I'm pickin up all my bad habits again
She's letting one go

For years she had it real bad
I was the only adiction she ever had
Her love made me so high, but I abused it.
And here I sit all alone tonight
Whiskey on the rocks and more cigarettes to light
Holdin on to everything I've got left, hopin I don't loose it.




She ain't
ed on me no more
She ain't
ed on me no more
I'm pickin up all my bad habits again
She's letting one go
Yeah, I'm pickin up all my bad habits again
She's letting one go

My buddy said his girlfriend is as pretty as can be
He said help a brother out tonight and come double date with me
She's gotta a baby sister and they're headed into town
They're lookin' for a good time
They're fun to be around

I said what do she look like?
He scratched his head and stated
"She was a home comin' football queen before she graduated.
We'll wine and dine and do 'em fine
and really double date 'em
Then take 'em back to the motel six and
Try to seperate 'em.

They showed up in a pick up
They were right on time
His was kinda heafty
But not half as big as mine

I'm runnin' block
Turn the lights down low
Runnin' block
Don't want know one to know
That I tried to drink her skinny but she's still about 215
Sometimes you got to bow up
And take one for the team

She cleaned her plate at dinner
Then she ate what's left of mine
Then she wolfed down a big cheesecake as I drank all the wine
She strolled out to the padio for an after dinner cig
I said "Bro you done 'er this time and gonna owe me big

You know why?
'Cuz my brother's havin' a party
Thought you outta know
He's got coeds swimmin naked

I took her daddy old two-horse trailer
I patched a place in the floor that was bare
And we loaded up her barrel pony
And a riggin bag is all that I had
Left with our suitcases filled with desire
Four hundred dollars, two good spare tires
Now our windshield a painting
that hangs in our room
Changes with each mile like a radio tune
We got up above, we l make it on love
Under the rodeo moon


Sometimes we sleep in a hotel
When we ridin?that hot hand of luck
Sometimes we crash at a friend house
Sometimes we just sleep in the truck
At nighttime you l find us out in the fast lane
Stayin one step ahead of snow,
wind, and rain
Now our windshield a painting
that hangs in our room
Changes with each mile like a radio tune
We got up above, we l make it on love
Under the rodeo moon


Yeah we left with our suitcases
filled with desire
Four hundred dollars, two good spare tires
Now our windshield a painting
that hangs in our room
Changes with each mile like a radio tune
We got up above, we l make it on love
Under the rodeo moon
Under the rodeo moon

Met you in a caf?
At a table meant for two
You were sitting by your lonesome
When I sat down with you
Tried hard not to show it
But I couldn help but see
That you wore your broken heart
out on your sleeve
And your loneliness could not disguise
The beauty and the charm
Thought if I ever get you,
shattered lady, in my arms
I gonna rock you baby to sleep
I gonna make you crazy over me
I gonna hold you like you
never been held before
And love you till you tell me you
can love anymore
I gonna shake your emotion
right down to your soul
And then I gonna love you all
over in and out of control
If this is how love is supposed to feel
Baby I know I fallen head over heels
I gonna rock you baby


Over open conversation
and a bottle of red wine
You said this world is full of users
and I know that I had mine
We danced a little slow dance
until they closed that caf?down
You said hat would be the chances
that tonight I finally found
Someone who makes me feel like
my life is just begun??
I said girl believe in me and
I show you how it done?
I gonna rock you baby to sleep
I gonna make you crazy over me
I gonna hold you like you
never been held before
And love you till you tell me
you can love anymore
I gonna shake your emotion
right down to your soul
And then I gonna love you all
over in and out of control
If this is how love is supposed to feel
Baby I know I fallen head over heels
I gonna rock you baby

Note to self
Better call
She'll be mad as hell
If I know her at all
Cuz today's her birthday
And I almost forgot
Note to self
I better not

Note to self
On my way home
Don't forget the roses
and Dom Perignon
You know how she loves a
Great big suprise
Note to self
You're skating on thin ice
Hmm I ain't gonna screw it up this time
Hmmm I'm gonna really make her proud she's mine
Note to self
Remember when
You use to light her up
When you walked in
And she stole your breath away
That's the way it was
Everytime you kissed her And she still does

Hmm I ain't gonna mess it up this time
HmmI'm gonna really make her proud she's mine
Turning down the street
I'm pulling in the drive
Door ain't lock So I step inside
She ain't here to greet me
So what's goin on?
Note self
She's already gone
Hmmmm gone
Hmmmmmmmm gone
Hmmmmmm I guess I really messed it up this time...

This world's a jungle
There ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
Better hide your horses
Bury your whiskey
Hold your woman any way you can, 'cause:
There ain't no right or wrong
Nothin's carved in stone
It ain't cheatin' if you don't get caught
Joker's laugh and losers grieve 'cause
Out here there's no honor among thieves
That woman you've been lovin'
She was another man's
You stole her heart while his back was turned
On every corner
There's an outlaw waitin'
Who want's to teach you what you've never learned
This world's a jungle
There ain't no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
So don't go cryin' when
Her love goes flyin' to
The thievin' arms of another man

Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan
Weren't we some bad mothers, closer than brothers
Had a rockin' little three-piece band
Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women
Then we tried to sing 'em pretty for the girls
Pushin' everythin' we did to the limit
Livin' right out on the edge of the world.

I recall on summer night at a party
We were sophomores hangin' out by the lake
I got off on some wine with a waitress
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldn't wait
JB hooked up around midnight
With an ugly girl from up in the city
He downed every can of beer in the cooler
Just tryin' to drink that poor thing pretty.

Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noise
And we, sang all our songs for free
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
Never did get a degree
We did it our way lookin' back on the good days
There's still not a lot I regret
Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget.

I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPL
Sonny's got a good life, a baby and a good wife
And everyday he carries the mail
JB is a cross-country trucker
And he called last night from South Carolina
He said I fallen in love with a waitress
That I met at a Waffle House diner.

He said the years seem to roll on faster
Than they did back when we were kids
Then we need us a break from the grindstone
That's exactly what we did.

We put in a phone call to Sonny
Then we stayed out all night long
We drank a few cold ones, then told a few old ones
And sang another verse to the song.

Yeah we were boys who made a lot of noise
And we, sang all our songs for free
We

He was twenty-five, she was twenty-eight
He was home grown country, she'd just pulled off the interstate
She bought a Dr. Pepper, ten dollars worth of gas
She was obviously lost but too afraid to ask directions
So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beech Nut gum
He said where you headed to girl, where are you coming from
She said

New Orleans but that's another story
New Orleans that's another time
That's another town, that's another life

First she stayed a day then she stayed a week
Couple of months later they were living on his parent's street
He worked the station and she worked the store
And then they had a baby and
Then they had one more little Jesse

When she dropped the kids off at the mother's day out
All the ladies had their questions
But they knew not to ask about

New Orleans but that's another story
New Orleans that's another time
That's another town, that's another life

Wednesday night supper at the First Baptist Church
Stranger standin' in the doorway
As they're passin' out the dessert
He said go on and pack your bags
Cause I'm here to take you home
I'm goin' back to Louisiana
And woman I ain't gonna go with out you

There's a few defining moments in every person's life
When you know what you've done wrong
And you know what you've done right
And before the congregation and her husband and her kids
She says, "How dare you even speak to me
After everything you did" in

New Orleans but that's another story
New Orleans that's another time
That's another town, that's another life

That's another town, that's another life

If i send you roses for no reason at all
If,out of the blue,i stop and give you a call
Once in a while,it's breakfast in bed
And then pull the covers back up over our heads
If i call in sick just to stay home with you
I want you to know why i do what i do
It's my way of sayin' what i can't express
But i want you to know,girl,i'm doin' my best
Oh,i'm just a man,that's the way i was made
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid,but it won't go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what i mean when i say,me too
If you should wake up and catch me watchin' you sleep
And i break the silence by kissin' your cheek
If i whisper somethin'you don't understand
Don't make me
it,i don't know if i canMe too,me too,hope you know what i mean when i say
Me too,me too

I straddled my bicycle when I was ten years old
I rode it up on Maxwell Hill where all the big boys go
Way down at the bottom there's a creek bed six feet wide
If you peddle fast enough you can make the other side
Mama come quick I think I fell
And hurt myself again
Mama come quick you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off
And sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch
I fell in love for the first time when I was almost grown
I heard that love could hurt real bad, though I had not been shown
Everybody told me she would only break my heart
But I wouldn't listen to them 'cause I was way too smart
Mama come quick I think I fell
And hurt myself again
Mama come quick you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off
And sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch
Yeah daddies teach us how to ride
How to catch and throw
But when things don't go the way they should
A boy knows where to go
Mama come quick I think I fell
And hurt myself again
Mama come quick you know too well
How much I still depend on you
Pickin' me up and dustin' me off
And sendin' me on my way
'Cause nothing heals as much as your lovin' touch
Oh mama come quick
I need your lovin' touch
Yeah mama come quick
I need your lovin' touch

I can leave my dirty laundry lyin' anywhere
If I don't make my bed it's alright, no one ever goes in there
I can fall asleep on the couch and leave the TV on
'Cause I've got the whole place to myself
Now that all her things are gone
Lucky me, I've got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I'm not crowded anymore
And finally, I've got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me
Now I've got last week's dishes still piled up in the sink
And lots of time here on my hands to sit around and think
I'm better off in this house alone, it's a blessing in disguise
And her leavin' came along, I know
Right at the perfect time
Lucky me, I've got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I'm not crowded anymore
And finally, I've got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me
That sure was a close call, someone could have been hurt
Yeah, she could be missin' me but that's not what I've heard and
Lucky me, I've got room to breathe
With her out of my way, I'm not crowded anymore
And finally, I've got all the space I need to walk the floor
Lucky me
Lucky me, I've got all the space I need
Lucky me, I've got room to breathe
Lucky me

Reservations for one tonight
I?ll be eating by myself again
At that quiet little corner spot
Where we used to hang with all our friends
And I?ll ease down to the local pub
Climb up on the tallest stool
Holding court with my common sense
Outwitting all these common fools:
I?ve got good taste for blended whiskey
I can see my way around this bar
I can hear the sound of a vintage jukebox
And smell the smoke of a hand-rolled cigar
I can?t read your mind
Baby I can sense this much
When it comes to your love
I feel like I?m losing my touch
You?re not buying this anymore
My lies have come up short again
You haven?t said it?s over yet
Oh but I can feel a bitter wind
And after giving me your better years
And hoping for the very best
Closing time is drawing near As I sit alone with all the rest
When it comes to your love
I feel like I?m losing my touch

Sun gettin' heavy and the night is fallin'
Phone ringin' it's a good time callin'
Old truck slicked up shinin' like a rhinestone

Takin' off like a big red pocket
Flyin' high by the time the band comes on

I'm loaded, got a fist full of cash
I'm rollin' just filed her up with gas
I'm goin' where I wanna be, I got my baby beside me
She's strollin' and I like it a lot
She's showin' everything she's got
We're blowin' these twenty dollar bills
I can't tell ya how good I feel
I'm loaded

My baby's got her shoes off out on the dance floor
Gonna dance 'til she can't dance anymore
They haven't played "Give Me Three Steps,
Give Me Three Steps yet

Bought ten rounds for my buddies at the back bar
Struck my last five in the tip jar
Stretched my dollar 'bout as far as it can stretch

What's that?--Checks?--You'd cash a check?--Well, hell!

I'm loaded, bring another round
Rock 'n rollin' my baby's still getting down
I'm blowin' through my twenty dollar bills
I can't believe how good I feel
I'm loaded--got a fist full of cash
I'm rollin' just filled her up with gas
I'm goin' where I wanna be--I got my baby beside me

I'm loaded (loaded)
Loaded (loaded)
Loaded (loaded)
Got my baby beside me

I'm loaded (loaded)
Rollin' (rollin')
Strollin' (strollin')
I got my baby beside me

I'm loaded (loaded)

Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Lust, love and greed were in my heart
I thought I had to play each part
I'd skip school and get in a fight
Had a different girl every Friday night
But it all came out in the wash
Dad always said boys will be boys
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
I lost my driver's license twice
For speeding and running red lights
But like all kids I lived and learned
Play with fire and you'll get burned
I bucked the system day and night
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool
It's clear to me now I was a fool
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Yeah everything turned out ok
Life was a play and the world a stage

Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
Lust, love and greed were in my heart
I thought I had to play each part
I'd skip school and get in a fight
Had a different girl every Friday night
But it all came out in the wash
Dad always said boys will be boys
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things
They kept the faith and brought me through
I still make a mistake or two
Lookin' back on my younger days
Life was a play and the world a stage
I lost my driver's license twice
For speeding and running red lights
But like all kids I lived and learned
Play with fire and you'll get burned
I bucked the system day and night
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool
It's clear to me now I was a fool
Mom and dad backed me through it all
Picked me up each time I'd fall
In fact they called it growing pains
And said all kids must try such things

Yeah everything turned out ok

If you wanna go back to him, baby, get up and go
im tired of being a clown caught up in your
sideshow
night after night it never ends
its like a heavyweight fight nobody wins
and im throwin'
in the towel, enough is enough

<i>[chorus]</i>
Knock yourself out, break me in two
you gotta go do what you gotta do
i gave you my best shot, but
you didnt fall
head over heels in love after all
i dont wanna hear no more, baby, theres the door

theres nothin left to fight about
knock yourself out

oh, lets not pull any punches while we're standin here toe to toe
if you're gonna leave me here,
baby go on, go

<i>[repeat chorus]</i>

oh knock yourself out

if you wanna go back to him, baby, get up and go

Do blondes really have more fun
Or they just easier to spot in the dark?
Girl, I'm just tryin' to cheer you up
I saw you sittin' over here all alone, with a broken heart
It's hurtin' you real bad, wish there was somethin' that I had
I'd hook you up, get you through it
You might need a man to hold you 'til it don't
I'm just the guy to do it

Is that your pretty boy standin' there at the end of the bar
He's got some nerve
Talkin' loud and drinkin' with a red head ridin' shotgun on his arm
He's such a jerk
I think he's a knucklehead, all those ugly things he said were out of line
Man, he blew it
He might need someone to put him in his place
I'm just the guy to do it

Baby, I can't mend your broken heart
I can't take away your pain
I can't promise you the sun is gonna shine when you're walkin' in the rain
If you need a hero for tonight, I can be the one, let me prove it
Yeah, you just say the magic words and we'll be gone
I'm just the guy to do it

Baby, I can't mend your broken heart
I can't take away your pain
I can't promise you the sun is gonna shine when you're walkin' in the rain
Oh but if you need a hero for tonight, I can be the one, let me prove it
Yeah, you just say the magic words and we'll be gone
I'm just the guy to do it

Do blondes really have more fun
Or are they just easier to spot in the dark?

Mother earth has changed since i was a child
The east is a beast and the west is really wild
And the headlines say the end looks grim
And the future don't look so bright
You can't even open your mailbox,
you can't take the plane
And everybody'lookin'for somebody to blame
I think I'm gonna let the president
Save this ol' world tonight
I'll light us a fire
And she'll turn off the news
We'll open a cold one and shake these blues
It's all good
It's alright
I'm gonna sit here with my baby all night
And let the troubles of this world
Roll on by us like they should
It's all cool
It's ok
We've got everything going our way
Can't complain if we're alright
It's all good
I'm just a ragular Joe, with a beautiful girl
Just gettin by in a day-to-day world
We ain't got a lot, but we don't need anything
Covered in kises, surrounded by love
Showered with blessings from up above
When you'r sittin' on top of the world,
man we got everything
we live out here in the country
Where the workin' class do
We've got our health and our happiness too
It's all good
It's alright
I'm gonna sit here with my baby all night
And let the troubles of this world
Roll on by us like they should
It's all cool
It's ok
We've got everything going our way
Can't complain if we're alright
It's all good
No can't complain 'cause we're alright
And it's all good

Never owned a brand new car
Never worked in a white collar
Never held a woman longer
Than I held one single dollar
I never went out chasin?rainbows
ause there can be that much to it
Even if I found my pot of gold
I know I piss right through it
I can remember ever wanting
For one second of my life
Even if I did it cost too much
To ever pay the price
I don dance out on the dark side
Ain no secrets I have to tell
So you don have to say a prayer for me
I just said one for myself
I livin?my life
Under my terms
I callin?the shots
As far as I can see
I don owe nobody nothin?
I don answer to a soul
Might not work for you
But it works for me
been bent and bruised and broken
And flat busted once or twice
I brought most of it upon myself
But I never compromised
My pride too hard to swallow
So I chewed a lot of it
Mild-mannered and soft-hearted
And hard-headed as you get
I live out on the backroads
Where I walk my country mile
And if it so good in the city
Why don anybody smile?
The traffic always heavy
And the air ain fit to breathe
I ain saying that it wrong for you
It just don make sense to me
I livin?my life
Under my terms
I callin?the shots
As far as I can see
I don owe nobody nothin?
I don answer to a soul
Might not work for you
But it works for me

You've got my heart in unfamiliar territory
It's never been out here on my sleeve
But here tonight with you it's quite a different story
You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen
There's something I'm afraid to say to you too early
But I'd be a fo

Yeah, you can try to love your woman, try to love your friends
Try to love your neighbor, you can try it again
Try to go to church, try to live your life
Probably still be tryin' on the day that you die

Well, if you're tryin' you ain't tryin', there's work to do, son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

Try something old, try something new
Try it when no one else is even watchin' but you
Try just a little, try it too much
Try an over do it and it still ain't enough

And if you're tryin' you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

Tryin', tryin' you ain't
Tryin', tryin'

Well, if you're tryin' you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

And if you're tryin' you ain't, there's work to do son
You can't get up early, baby, you can't get it done
Roll up your sleeves, don't tell me that you can't
Make something, something, if you're tryin' you ain't

Tryin', tryin'
Tryin' you ain't
Tryin still tryin
Tryin' you ain't

Tryin', tryin'
Tryin' you ain't

If i was Jesus
I'd have some real long hair
A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'd wear
I'd be the guy at the party
turning water into wine
Yea me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time

Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you
Yeah, I'd show you who's the boss
I'd forgive you and adore you
While I was hagin' on your cross
If I was Jesus
I'd have some friends that were poor
I'd run around with the wrong crowd
Man I'd never be bored
Then I'd heal me a blind man
Get myself crucified
By politicians and preachers, who got something to hide

Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you
Yeah, I'd show you who's the boss
I'd forgive you and adore you
While I was hangin' on your cross
If I was Jesus

If I was Jesus
I'd come back from the dead
And I'd walk on some water
Just to mess with your head
I know your dark little secrets
I'd look you right in the fac
And tell you I love you
With amasing grace
Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you
Yeah, I'd show you who's the boss
I'd forgive you and adore you
While I was hangin' on your cross

If I was Jesus
If I was Jesus

Jackknife, brake at the traffic stop
Interstate lookin' like a parkin' lot
Fat boy flying on a Fat Boy bike
Weavin' in and out and passin' me by

I honked my horn and shot the bird at that crazy SOB
Yeah, but deep down, I was wishin' it was me

But if I had one, I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Pull her to the shoulder and let that steel horse run
I'd be hell on wheels if I had one

Called my brother said, "How you've been?
We ain't been fishin' since I don't know when"
He said, "This graveyard shift's a graveyard grind
I got more bills than I got time"

I'd love to weigh the line but my wife just stay on my case
I said "I guess I know who wears the pants around your place"

But if I had one, I'd have to say
I'd probably do the same dang thing
Stay at home holdin' my baby when the workday is done
Yeah, I'd try to keep her happy if I had one

Sittin' on a bar stool talkin' to a lady
She's runnin' my tab up, callin' me baby
Buy her a drink she'll let you chase her
And watch her shake her money maker

Boy if I had one I'd have to say
I'd probably shake it the same damn way
Hike it up high 'cause I could get it, son
I'd never buy another beer if I had one
You know things would be different if I had one

That's what I'd do if I had one of those
I'd do it just like that, right there
Things would be different if I had one, too
But I don't, but if I had one, yeah buddy, ooh buddy

We got winners,
We got losers,
Chain-smokers and boozers,
We got yuppies,
We got bikers,
We got thirsty hitch-hikers,
And the girls next store dress-up like movie stars.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.

We got cowboys,
We got truckers,
Broken-hearted fools and suckers,
And we got hustlers,
We got fighters,
Early-birds and all-nighters,
And the veterans talk about their battle scars.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.

I love this bar,
It's my kind of place,
Just walkin through the front door,
Puts a big smile on my face,
It ain't too far,
Come as your are.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.

I've seen short skirts,
We've got high-techs,
Blue-collared boys and rednecks,
And we got lovers,
Lots of lookers,
I've even seen dancing girls and hookers.
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar. (Yes I do)

Toby: I like my truck.

Crowd: I like my truck.

Toby: And I like my girlfriend.

Crowd: I like my girlfriend.

Toby: I like to take her out to dinner, I like a movie now and then.

But I love this bar,
It's my kind of place,
Just toein around the dance floor,
Puts a big smile on my face,
No cover charge,
Come as you are.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I just love this old bar.

Blue eyes, brown hair, yeah that's my past standing there
Turning every head in here tonight
That smile, that laugh, everyone is staring at
The one thing that stands between
Me and the rest of my life

I know a wall when I see one
And I'm looking at one right now
Heartaches written all over this one
One I can't get around
Where's a door when you need one
I know a wall when I see one

The hurt had stopped, at least that's what I thought
Up until what use to be walked in
Just flesh and bone, it might as well be stone
'Cause it's a memory I can't get past
That's what I'm up against

I know a wall when I see one
And I'm looking at one right now
Heartaches written all over this one
One I can't get around
Where's a door when you need one
I know a wall when I see one

After all my heart's been through
Look what it's run into

I know a wall when I see one
And I'm looking at one right now
Heartaches written all over this one
One I can't get around
Where's a door when you need one
I know a wall when I see one
I know a wall

She called me on the phone and said come on
and get on the plane tonight,pronto
So just like every time king sad cried for help
Here come toto
I guess you run a lover off again
And I can't believe how long its been
I had my fingers runnin through her hair
Only bad thing about it
I ain't already there

Baby I just landed grabbed my bag and hopped a cab
And I'm comin solo
Light a candle, fill the tub,
and put on some music that you love
And I'll bring the mojo
Yeah the cabby said he'd drive like heck
If you'd promise me a pony tail
And my favorite secret underwear
Only bad thing about it
I ain't already there

Now its been real and its been fun
Another notch carved in her gun
You know a funny thing when you play her game
What you thought would change just stays the same.
I'll be on this plane to Illinois
She be locked down with some pretty boy
When we touch down in Chicago at o'hare
Only bad thing about it
I ain't already there
Oh no Only bad thing about it
I ain't already there

Just off of the two-lane where
the school bus used to stop
Was a little wooden A-frame
with a yellow tin roof top
One day it was raining on this world
She said ave you ever really,
really ever kissed a girl??
Baby I be your Huckleberry,
you don have to double dare me
If the storm gets wild and scary count
on me to be right there
You so extra ordinary
sweet like maraschino cherries
We l grow up and we l get married
I gonna be your Huckleberry
Later on that summer
we went to the county fair
They had a brand new roller coaster
and everyone was scared
It was two bucks to experience the thrill
She said ome on boy
let get in line I ride it if you will?
Baby I be your Huckleberry,
you don have to double dare me
If the ride gets wild and scary count
on me to be right there
You so extra ordinary
sweet like maraschino cherries
We l grow up and we l get married
I gonna be your Huckleberry


Snuck off on a slow dance
at the junior senior prom
Went lookin for some romance before
I had to get her home
Steamin?up the windows of my car
She said ntil I get my wedding ring boy
we can go that far?
Baby I be your Huckleberry,
you don have to double dare me
If the world gets wild and scary count
on me to be right there
You so extra ordinary
sweet like maraschino cherries
We grew up and we got married
Now look at those three little Huckleberries

I was always the crazy one
I broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
You were always the perfect one
And the valadictorian so
Under your number I wrote "call for a good time"

I only wanted to catch your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud.

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money girl
Aint it a cruel and funny world?
He took your dreams and tore them apart.

He never comes home
And youre always alone
And your kids hear you cryin down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin
Who could that be singin
Its me baby, with your wake up call!

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

Tell me baby...
I will preach on...

My grandmother owned a night club On the Arkansas-Oklahoma line Mama put me on a Greyhound And I went to stay with her in the summertime I'd box up those empty long-necks And stack 'em in the back and make a ham Then at night she'd let me sneak out Of the kitchen and let me sit in with the band Yes, I have sacks and quarterbacks And broke my share of bones along the way I knew it wouldn't last forever Semi-pro always means semi-payed I started climbing drilling rigs I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be, yeah Then I took my songs and guitar And sang 'em for a man from Tennessee I've played every beer joint tavern From New York City out to Pasadena Every corn dog fair and rodeo And sold out every basketball arena Like to get down with my boys In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too I am a red, white and blue blood Graduate of Honky Tonk U A star can't burn forever And the brightest ones will someday lose their shine But the glass won't ever be Half empty in my optimistic mind I'll still have a song to sing And a band to turn it up and play it loud As long as there's a bar room With a corner stage and a honky tonk crowd I've played every beer joint tavern From New York City out to Pasadena Every corn dog fair and rodeo And sold out every basketball arena I like to get down with my boys In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too Son, I'm a red, white and blue blood Graduate of Honky Tonk U

You're lookin' at me
Like the first time we met
I can tell that you're needing
That feeling you get when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Hold you, kiss you, love you

So darlin' surrender
Right here in my arms
Love will be waiting
Wherever we are when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Hold you, kiss you, love you

Just close your eyes
And I'll take you away
Let go of everything
Whisper my name when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Like I do

Hold you, kiss you, love you
Hold you, kiss you, love you

Just close your eyes
And I'll take you away
Let go of everything
Whisper my name when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Like I do

When tangled sheets
In the dark of the night
I'll wake you up in the
Sweet mornin' light when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you

Just close your eyes
And I'll take you away
Let go of everything
Whisper my name when I
Hold you, kiss you, love you
Like I do

I was hangin' out in Mexico, I had a beachfront bungalow
I know I should have gone home, but I was doin' that Caribbean thing
I was listenin' to a Spanish guitar, drinkin' margaritas under the stars
With a pretty senorita when the telephone started to ri

Guess it slipped my mind
Now I'm in trouble deep
See the last two years in a row I forgot
Our anniversary
So I come Rushin' in
Twelve roses in bloom
Said honey would you like a romantic evening
Out under the stars and the moon
She didn't say no
But in her eyes I could see
That this wouldn't turn out to be
The enchanted evening I thought it would be
Yes I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no

Then we split the sheets
About six months ago
I told all my buddies down at the bar
This cowboy's headed home
Walked into her house
Yeah climbed right up in her bed
When I asked her if she still loved me
Man you know what she said
Oh she didn't say no
But in her eyes I could see
Ah this wouldn't turn out to be
The fairytale ending I thought it might be
But I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no
Yeah I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no
