She's not that good a driver It's not that good a car There's rain on that horizon She's never gone that far No storm is gonna stop her Not a little thing like that Gotta sit here all night knowin' That she ain't comin' back
She's gonna make it She'll be alright. Out on her own I have no doubt It's me that I'm worried about.
She's never been to Dallas. That's a big ol' town. It ain't exactly easy, To find your way around.
She never met a stranger. She makes friends right and left. This house is so empty I'm here all by myself.
She's gonna make it She'll be alright. Out on her own I have no doubt It's me that I'm worried about.
She don't look back where she's been. She just lives in the moment, yes
She's gonna make it She'll be alright. Out on her own I have no doubt It's me that I'm worried about.
I'm a solitary man, Nothing means more than my freedom, A few days ago I swear I walked out of there believin' I could let you go
I know how freedom feels I've heard that sound beneath my wheels, Nothin' or no one could slow me down But since I told you good-bye Something just ain't right Freedom feels like lonely tonight
Out on this open road Any where I wanna go is waitin All I can think about Is turnin' this old truck around and takin', That road back to you
I know how freedom feels I've heard that sound beneath my wheels Nothin' or no one to slow me down, But since I told you good-bye Something just ain't right Freedom feels like lonely tonight
Yeah since I told you good-bye I miss you all the time Freedom feels like lonely tonight Yeah freedom feels like lonely tonight
She said I'm going out with my girlfriends Marguerite is at the holiday inn Oh have mercy my only thought Was tequila makes her clothes fall off I told her put an extra layer on I know what happens when she drinks patron? Her closets missing half the things she bought Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off She'll start by kicking out of her shoes Lose an earring in her drink Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall Drop a contact down the sink Them panty hose aint gonna last too long If the DJ puts bon jovi on She might come home in a table cloth Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off She can handle any champagne brunch A bridal shower with Bacardi punch Jello shooters full of Smirnoff But tequila makes her clothes fall off She'll start by kicking out of her shoes Lose an earring in her drink Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall Drop a contact down the sink She don't mean nothing She just havin fun Tomorrow she say oh what have I done Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost Yea tequila makes her clothes fall off Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off Oh tequila makes her clothes fall off

The snow in Montana was three feet high The lady at the counter said there ain't no flights And so he called her on the telephone He said, 'I'll rent a car, and I'll drive home'
And she said, 'I'll wait for you Like I did last year At Christmas time with your family here And your truck broke down out in San Antone And the gifts stayed wrapped until you got home Oh, this ain't nothin' new Sweetheart, I'll wait for you'
Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe De ville Talkin' to the one he loves and always will His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home She says, 'I'll wait for you like in '68 When our child was due, but I said, he'll have to wait Until his dad gets here and stands by my side Remember, dear, our son's first cry Oh, this ain't nothin' new Sweetheart, I'll wait for you'

And it said, 'I'll wait for you at Heaven's gate Oh, I don't care how long it takes And I'll tell Saint Pete I can't come in Without my love and my best friend Oh, this ain't nothin' new Sweetheart, I'll wait for you P.S. I love you, too Sweetheart, I'll wait for you'
I wonder if you've had the time it takes, To think it over. To sort out all the feelin's in your mind, Sometimes I think you found someone To do your thinkin' for ya, cause Lately you've been showin' all the signs.
Should I come home, Or should I go crazy. I'm beggin' you please, Make up your mind. If you love me, Than think it all over. So make up your mind, Or I'll lose mine.
Last night when I came by I rang the bell, And no one answered But I heard voices whispered Through the door, Now I'm not sure if anyone was home To do the talkin', Cause lately I hear voices more and more.
Should I come home, Or should I go crazy. I'm beggin' you please, Make up your mind If you love me Than think it all over. So make up your mind, Or I'll lose mine.
Should I come home, Or should I go crazy I'm beggin' you please, Make up your mind. If you love me, Than think it all over So make up your mind Or I'll lose mine...

She hates goin' anywhere in my old truck She says: It's always muddy and it rides so rough And there ain't no graceful way to climb up in a dress Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
I might get her on the lake to fish with me If the water's smooth and the sky is blue, with a nice cool breeze But anything we catch, I'll have to clean myself "Cause I'm about as country as she gets
She'll slip off a pair of heels Walk barefoot across the field Climb up on a fence just to be near me Sometimes I think that horse still scares her half to death Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
She likes bein' within spendin' distance of a mall Havin' enough bars to make a cell phone call Put her in a crowd and she's right in her element Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
But she'll slip out on the porch sometimes When that sun's low in the sky Pull up a rockin' chair just to be with me Until that first big June bug buzzes by her head See I'm about as country as she gets Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets
She moved up to the city Became a big time fashion designer All them big shots wined and dined her In those fancy restaurants She cam back to our hometown Pulled up in a brand new Lexus Looks like our little girl from Texas Had joined the upper echelon
And she walked through the door In her jeans and her boots Stepped right back Into her tonkin' roots 'Neath the neon lights We raised the roof Way into the night Now you can take the girl out of the honky tonk Into that uptown world But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin' Honk tonk girl
Once upon another time Before she moved to the Big Apple Wedding bells were gonna ring in a country chapel For me and my down-home debutante Said she missed what we had And though she made a darn good livin' Money couldn't buy what she'd been missin' Yeah, that girl knows what she wants
And she walked through the door In her jeans and her boots Stepped right back Into her tonkin' roots 'Neath the neon lights We raised the roof Way into the night Now you can take the girl out of the honky tonk Into that uptown world But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin' Honk tonk girl
Well, you can take the girl out of the honky tonk Into that uptown world But she's still my little good timin', beer drinkin', pool shootin' Honk tonk girl Honk tonk girl
Sittin' at a poker table holdin' kings and threes So far lady luck, hm, sure has been good to me I should quit while I'm ahead, but I'll hang around instead And the dealer asked, what would you settle for? And I said, just a little more
I need just a little more A little more than I've got And I've got all that I can spend and I can't spend it fast enough But if the truth be known, I can't quit on my own And I spent all my life waitin' for just a little more
Havin' a drink here on my favorite stool I know that a couple has turned into a few And the bartender says to me, son, I think it's time you leave If you don't mind headin' for the door But I ask, for just a little more
I need just a little more, a little more than I've had And I've had all that a man should and I should leave and not come back But if the truth be known I can't quit on my own And I spent all my life waitin' for just a little more
Too many late nights and all of the above You've tried to help me for so long But you finally had enough And you tell me that you're gonna leave As you're holding on to me But before you let me go, hold me just a little more
I need just a little more A little more time Time for me to end all these hurtin' ways of mine And Lord, I know you give me all the strength that I need But I'm down here on my knees prayin' for Just a little more Just a little more
Hang up that red dress, Let down your hair, Cancel those reservations Don't need to go no where. As good as your looking right now, Girl bet your thinkin I'm crazy, There's a side of you that I wanna see That never ceases to amaze me.
Gimme that girl with the hair in a mess Sleepy little smile with her head on my chest, Thats the you that I like best, Gimme that girl. Gimme that girl lovin up on me, Old t-shirt and a pair of jeans, Thats the you I wanna see, Gimme that girl, gimme that girl.
Gimme the girl thats beautiful, Without a trace of makeup of on, Barefoot in the kitchen, Singing her favorite song. Dancing around like a fool, Starring in her own little show, Gimme the girl the rest of the world, Ain't lucky enough to know.
Gimme that girl with the hair in a mess Sleepy little smile with her head on my chest, Thats the you that I like best, Gimme that girl. Gimme that girl lovin up on me, Old t-shirt and a pair of jeans, Thats the you I wanna see, Gimme that girl, gimme that girl. [repeat]
Someday she wants a big ole house Sitting on a big ole hill And a mile long tree line drive way Or a big ole Coupe Deville Yeah someday she wants a big ole bank account with too much to spend But right now all she wants is a man
With a big ole heart who can love her like nobody can Big ole kisses that go on and on and never end With a big ole smile that'll fill her world with laughter Size matters, size matters
Someday she wants a big ole ring with a big ole rock that shines And a big ole walk in closet with shoes of every kind Someday she wants a big ole boat she can lay around getting a tan But right now all she wants is a man
With a big ole heart who can love her like nobody can Big ole kisses that go on and on and never end With a big ole smile that'll fill her world with laughter Size matters, size matters
With a big ole heart who can love her like nobody can Big ole kisses that go on and on and never end With a big ole smile that'll fill her world with laughter Size matters, size matters, size matters
I'm dustin' off Hank and I'm puttin' him on And I'm gonna drink one and listen to a country song The way it sounded in nineteen-fifty-two I'm takin' some old things, and makin' 'em new
I'm pickin' up the phone and I'm startin' to dial A number of friends I haven't talked to in a while And I'm gonna tell 'em that I love 'em, yes I do I'm takin' some old things, and makin' 'em new
Lately my world's been movin' way too fast I need to slow down and catch up with some of the past Maybe go back home and stay for a week or two I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
I'm takin' your picture out of that drawer And I'm gonna hold you close to my chest once more Remembering the love that felt so true I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
Baby, my world's been movin' way too fast I need to slow down and catch up with some of the past Maybe go back home and stay for a week or two I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new
Strummin' my D-18 and hummin' a Haggard tune I'm takin' some old things and makin' 'em new I'm takin' some old things... and makin' 'em new
I knew I'd be blue, I knew I'd be sad, I was sure your goodbye was gonna hurt me bad. Counted on days of lonely old nights Hoped that I'd forgive and forget with a little time
But man, woman you sure messed me up Now long as I live, I'll never forget your love Man, woman you sure make me cry Take 99 years for all of my tears to dry. Man, woman
I tried to go out, put on a smile I managed to get you out of my mind, baby, once in a while. But more often than not, old memories break through Now I can't walk half way round the block without runnin' into you
Man, woman you sure messed me up Now long as I live, I'll never forget your love Man, woman you sure make me cry Take 99 years for all of my tears to dry. Man, woman
Well I used to think I was strong, I was tough and nothin' could tear me apart But whatever it is that you done to me darlin' sure did a number on my heart
Man, woman, you sure make me cry Take 99 years for all of my tears to dry. Man, woman
Outside the courthouse on 5th and vine There's a hundred people holdin' up their homemade signs They say they'll be there sunshine or rain 'Till somebody listens, 'till somethin's changed
Believers, Believers, They got a little more faith than the world has doubt The earth might shake, but they stand their ground And god only knows where we'd be without Believers
They were a couple o' kids with cheep wedding bands They didn't have nothin' but big ole plans Thirty five years later, they're still goin' strong Aw, but they're not surprised, they knew it all along
Believers Believers They got a little more faith than the world has doubt The earth might shake, but they stand their ground And god only knows where we'd be without Believers
Eighty nine years old and a momma still prays That her wayward son will find his way There's a telephone call that makes her cry It's her son sayin' momma I've seen the light Aw, everybody told her she was wastin' her time
Believers Believers They got a little more faith than the world has doubt The earth might shake, but they stand their ground And only god knows where we'd be without Without believers
I was sittin' in a chair at the H & R Block Some vain accountant pencil pusher runnin' up the clock Said "I'd tallied up your numbers through the end of the year Son, you spent a small fortune on liquor and beer."
And I said "It's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think. You just pour and drink. Yea 16.50 for a bottle of jack, No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack. Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done, And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun".
And it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think You just pour and drink, yea it's cheaper than a shrink.
Now me and her had this little problem between us Tryin' to prove the gap between Mars and Venus She said "Honey, I think we need to see a marital councilor". I said "All we need to do is slam a case of 12 ouncers.
Cause it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think You just pour and drink. ?????짖??Bout 18 bucks will get you four 6 packs. No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack. Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done, And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun".
And it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think You just pour and drink, and it's cheaper than a shrink.
If liquor prices soar as high as gasoline, Then I'd a quit drinkin' when I was 19. It's the oldest, most proven form of therapy The best thing about it far as I can see is that it's
Cheaper than a shrink, mm you don't have to think You just pour and drink, and it's cheaper than a shrink. Oh you just pour and drink and it's a whole lot cheaper Than some big town ? drag it down shrink.
I've got a number on a napkin, a poundin' in my head Takes everything I've got to crawl out of bed I lost a hell of a woman, freedom caught me on the chin But I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in.
The sun came up again this morning. I got a call from a long lost friend. Planned us a little road trip down to New Orleans. It ain't much but it beats where I've been.
Yea I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in.
Well I'm gettin' better at barely gettin' by When I look at her picture I don't break down and cry. And all this time on my hands it's gettin' easier to spend Cause I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in.
The sun came up again this morning, I took my old fastback for a spin. Now when it rains it ain't always pouring And I'm learning how to live again
Yea I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in.
Yea I'm doin' alright, Yes I'm doin' alright, Yea I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in.
Yes I'm doin' alright, Yea I'm doin' alright, Yea I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in.
Baby this bed's too big. We don't need all this room. I like you nice and close. Cause heaven knows, morning comes too soon.
You hear the rain outside. Soft as a serenade. If there was candlelight I would swear this night was custom made.
Every now and then, You gotta take some time To stop and reconnect and let the world go by. Everything can wait except the way we feel. And I feel like kissing you, holding you, lovin you More than anything that's what I want to do.
Baby it's only fair Both of us work so hard Would it really be a crime If we both took some time To be heart to heart.
Every now and then We've gotta take some time To stop and reconnect And let the world go by. Everything can wait except the way we feel. And I feel like kissing you, holding you, lovin you More than anything that's what I want to do.
Baby this bed's too big. We don't need all this room. I like you nice and close. Cause heaven knows, morning comes too soon.
You're eating strawberry pie in a mid-town diner Next thing you know you're back in south Carolina Stuffing your mouth at grandma's house Then a lady in a booth gets onto her kids Lays down the law like your mama did And it makes you smile every once in a while
[Chorus] We all go home To a place and a time In our hearts and our minds That's we just can't outgrow There's a tie that'll bind you And love that'll find you No matter where you go Someday someway We all go home
You tell yourself the grass is greener That Podunk town ain't the place for a dreamer Throw a dart at a map and you don't look back You try to change your clothes and the way you talk But one day you slip on that southern drawl And you have to laugh yeah, just like that
[Chorus]
The choir sings and the preacher talks Six of your old friends take you for a walk Up that shady hill, yeah someday they will
