Jack Ingram

Sometimes you get beat up good
Drive yourself crazy being misunderstood
Sometimes you want to throw the towel in
But you come swinging like you just might win

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

Some days you wonder what it all means
Some nights ain't as bad as it seems
Sometimes you think you been had
Run yourself ragged in a world gone mad

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the road
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Still got a ways to go

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

Some things ain't meant to be
The best things in life are free
And tomorrow is another day
Funny how the truth sounds so cliche

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the road
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Still got a ways to go

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

The neon's burning both ends of another night
Everybody's living way to loud
Workin' hard to act like everything's alright
Anything to keep from coming down

[Chorus]
Oh fool, you're fooling yourself
Don't you know that closing time will tell
And if you think think you're fooling anybody else
Oh fool, you're fooling yourself

Telling anyone who'll listen that it won't be long
Any day now she'll come back to you
And you'll forgive her everything that she's done wrong
You figure it's the least that you can do

[Chorus]

There ain't no problem you can't solve with one more beer
But there's nothing you can do about last call
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here
It's too bad you ain't got no place to fall

[Chorus: x2]

Fool, you're fooling yourself.

What makes you say the things you say
What did I do so wrong today
Where did you learn how to cut me so deep
When did I let you get so far away from me

And I know that we stood there and promised each other forever
God knows we've tried for so long now and nothing gets better
Loving you is all that I have ever known
But the truth hits and I know we'd be better off alone

And I know that we stood there and promised each other forever
God knows we've tried for too long now and nothing gets better
Stand here in the silence that remains
Loving you still does not change a thing

I used to be so down and out
I used to be so blue
Now the only thing I talk about
The only thing I do
Is spin around like a school kid
Just off the merry-go-round
I'm dizzy but it's 'cause I'm headed
To the one good thing I've found

[Chorus]
One thing as good as gold
I'm nothing without you to hold
One thing I know in this world
Is I need you to be my girl

I got so good at hiding
I couldn't find myself
Ya but baby you got me smiling
And feeling like someone else
Yeah you changed my makeup
I ain't the same sad clown
Ya ever since you showed up
Hey this ain't the same sad town

[Chorus: x3]

Be my girl
You're the one thing
You're the one thing
You're the one thing.

Everybody loves you
Everybody's scared
Everybody hates you
Nobody cares

Everybody's crying
Everybody's free
Everybody's fortune
Just looks like luck to me

What are we so afraid of?
Everybody sleeps alone
In our darkest hour
We all find our own way home

Everybody loves you
Well, Jesus told you so
Everybody's lying
Hell, even Jesus knows

Everybody's happy
And has a right to be
Everybody's laughing
I think the joke's on me

What are we so afraid of?
Everybody sleeps alone
In our darkest hour
We all find our own way home

Everybody loves you
Everybody's scared
Everybody hates you
Nobody cares

Everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away
To be so close and now to know
There's nothing we can say

For the things I can't take back
Severely I will pay
And everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away

Being so wrong doesn't take long
Not holding on goes on and on

And if you could see what's left of me
Has to go through everyday
You'd know everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away

Being so wrong doesn't take long
Not holding on goes on and on

No you can't take back your actions
Only hope, pray and change
And everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away

Everything I ever wanted
Is one lie away, one lie away

We all think we're special
And I hate to have to say
There's a bunch of us on every corner
Of any town in U.S.A.
We all got our problems
And we all pay our dues
So if you're thinking no one understands
I've got news for you

We're all in this together
Whether we like it or not
So we might as well have a good time
With the little bit of time we got
Life's too short to fuss and fight
So we might as well be friends
창??Cause we're all in this together
Together 'till the bitter end

Everybody's angry
Everybody's scared
Everybody wants to feel
Like somebody cares
You ain't got to love nobody
Or like 창??em as a matter of fact
But we're all in this together
And tonight I got your back

We're all in this together
Whether we like it or not
So we might as well have a good time
With the little bit of time we got
Life's too short to fuss and fight
So we might as well be friends
창??Cause we're all in this together
Together forever
That's right we're all in this together
Whether we like it or not
So we might as well have a good time
With the little bit of time we got
Hey life's too short to fuss and fight
So we might as well be friends
'Cause we're all in this together
Together 'till the bitter end
I said we're all in this together
Together 'till the bitter end.

This beer is colder than the shoulder you'd give me
If I were to tell you the truth
And the truth is she ain't been gone that long
But I've been wondering what I'm supposed to do
Call her up, tell her I miss her
I do but I don't wanna be with her
I can feel myself getting weaker
And I just know I've gotta see her

[Chorus]
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
I don't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me

You see I'm the kinda guy who likes to drive
And she's got a fast car so you know I like that
While I'm never asked to pay for gas
If it should happen I could fix a flat
You see that's the times when I come through
It's one rare moment she don't know what to do
Now I know that don't seem like much
But hey it's just enough to keep in touch

[Chorus]

Takes me
Take me

Now some folks like it
If at night they stay at home all by themselves
But me I go crazy thinkin'
Maybe there might not be someone else
Knocking on my door and ringing my phone
Comin' to my house and taking me home
There's only one reason she don't stay
It's 'cause I work so damn hard to push her away

[Chorus]

I won't go with her
No no I won't go with her
No I won't go with her when she leaves
But where she's goin' she takes me
Take me
Take me
Take me
Please take me.

I don't know why you surprise me
You've said it all before
How you've sold yourself short
And you deserve more

But you never leave, you wake up in the morning
You've slept another one off
You say, I'm sorry I just got lost
Feeling alone and out of touch
But you'd never leave and you'd never leave
Now you see that you still love me

And I'm sorry that things get strange
You look at me and you lay the blame
I love you more than you think you know
So don't be surprised if I'm the one to go

'Cause you'd never leave
And you'd never leave
Waiting on me to set you free
You'd never leave

And I dream at night I'm lying right there next to you
And I dream if we keep trying we'll pull through
But I wake up screaming and no one's there
And I realize that you weren't so scared
To be the one walking out the door
If I had been what you were looking for

You'd never leave, you'd never leave
If you were counting on me to set you free
And you'd never leave, and you never leave
You set yourself free, I've got your memory
You never leave

I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with Him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe He'll forgive my sins

My friend Pete he walks with Jesus
He tells me he's never alone
And he swears if I ever should join them
He'll be there to welcome me home

'Cause I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with Him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe He'll forgive my sin

Yeah, Pete says please don't forsake Him
Yeah, Pete says hey man don't be afraid
Yeah, he says that Jesus has told him
He's coming to get us one day

I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with Him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe He'll forgive my sin

Yeah, I need to pray at the feet of Jesus
I need to talk for a while with Him
And when I pray at the cross with Jesus
Maybe He'll forgive my sin

I need to pray at the cross with Jesus
And maybe He'll forgive my sins

Sorry

Goodnight moon, goodnight stars
Goodnight old broke down cars
I'm going away, I'm leaving soon
Goodnight darlin'
Goodnight moon
I don't know where I'll be
And I don't know if I'll see
Out the window of my room
Shining down
Goodnight moon
Thank you I'm gonna miss you
When the night comes round
That's when I long to kiss you


When the moon shining on the ground
Goodnight moon, goodnight stars
Goodnight old broke down cars
I'm going away, I'm leaving soon
Goodnight darlin'
Goodnight moon

So you believed them when they whispered like the wind
Now we are back where we began
And how do you know I was ok leaving anyway
And I miss you everyday

Chorus
I'm a little bit angry but thats alright
It's a little bit harder everytime
I'm a little bit lucky but I don't mind
Cause I'm a little bit stronger

I saw it comin' we were racing to the end
Now there's no goin' back where we began
But I loved you so much
So afraid of believing in your touch but this time

Chorus
I'm a little bit angry but thats alright
It's a little bit harder everytime
I'm a little bit lucky but I don't mind
Cause I'm a little bit stronger



And I'm a little bit angry but thats alright
It's a little bit harder everytime
I'm a little bit lucky but I don't mind
I'm a little bit stronger

Just a little bit angry
A little bit harder
A little bit lucky
And a little bit stronger

Chorus 4X

[Thanks to Josh for lyrics]

The skys lighting up and everybody's so high
Come take my hand its the fourth of July
God bless America and all of that shit
I should probably feel better but I feel I should quit

So raise a flag for the boys who've paid their dues
So I could be free here to live with these blues
No it doesn't seem right everybody's so high
And I'm crying the blues on the fourth of July

Take a walk downtown it's a beautiful day
Smoke a cigarette, watch the parade
We'll sing God bless America and all of that stuff
I should probably feel better, I've had enough

So raise a flag for the boys who've paid their dues
So I could be free here to live with these blues
No it doesn't seem right everybody's so high
And I'm crying the blues on the fourth of July
No it doesn't seem right everybody's so high
And I'm crying the blues on the fourth of July

Man you ain't done nothin' wrong
Come on, see the light
There ain't a thing that you can do
It don't matter how to try blow with all your might
That girl don't need a reason to be blue

Chase her all you want
Promise to be true
Man, you ain't done nothin' wrong
She just don't love you

You've been hangin' in, watchin' her hang out
She don't even tell you where she goes
Says she's with a friend; does she have to shout?
Why can't you see what everybody knows?

Yeah, but these lies won't last long
Come on, grab a clue
Man, you ain't done nothing wrong
She just don't love you

And I know what you're goin' through; I've been there myself
You ain't gonna listen to no one
Yeah, but when it's all over, and you've had enough
And she's had all her fun
We'll remember this, my friend
Man, you ain't done nothing wrong
She just don't love you

Chase her all you want
Come on, grab a clue
Man, you ain't done nothin' wrong
No, you ain't done nothin' wrong
Man, you ain't done nothin' wrong
She just don't love you

<i>Lyrics &copy; BUG MUSIC</i>

When the clouds are low, close to the ground
And you look for help and there's no one around
And you know the worst has yet come down
Run to me

When the water's up around your neck
And everything around you is just a wreck
And you know that you got nothing left
Run to me, run to me
I'll hold you up in front of me
Yeah, run to me
I won't let you down

I'm the one that you can turn to
When everyone has let you down
And when the fires outside have burned you
And you think there's no way out

I'm the one that you can turn to
When everyone has let you down
And when the fires outside have burned you
And you think there's no way out

And when you're sure nobody understands
And you've quit lookin' for a helping hand
Hey, forget all that 'cause I'm still your man
You can run to me, run to me
I'm standing here, and I'll always be
Yeah, run to me
I won't let you down
I won't let you down

I don't wanna feel like this
I don't really want your kiss
I wanna walk out the door
I don't want you no more

You feel this way too, I know
You think that it does not show
But I can tell by your touch
You don't want me that much

And it's lonely inside of this broken heart
For how long have you felt the pain?
Over and over we've done our part
So there's no use in handing out blame
Two people with nothing left to gain

There's nowhere to go from here
I can't find a road that's clear
And I'm too weak to take it alone
And I'm too scared to go on my own

And it's lonely inside of this broken heart
For how long have you felt the shame?
Over and over we've done our part
So there's no use in handing out blame
Two people with nothing left to gain

We're two people with nothing left to gain

A young man drivin' down a dusty road
Like he's got somewhere to go
Driving like he's got a destination
Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford

See there was a time when he was a young lost soul
He was chasin' butterflies and rainbows
Until one day when he found his pot of gold
In the words of the young man he turned old
And the old man said

[Chorus]
You gotta have a good imagination
If your gonna live the life of old
He said you've got to drive that Ford like its a stallion
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun
The old man said, the old man said

The boy walked out with a new found hero
Yea the boy well he walked away a man
And he said to himself that dusty day way down in Texas
Well I'm never gonna walk this path again
And the old man said

[Chorus]

The boy walked out he was dreaming of wild times
When old cowboys and broke down cattle lines
Now those fields are all but gone
But his heart's still free and he rides on
The old man said, the old man said, the old man said, the old man said

No one can make me stammer and stutter
Fall over every word that I utter
No one else can talk me to takin' another view
No one else can make my heart flutter like you

No one drives me to exasperation
Nobody gives my heart palpitations
Except for you, it's no exaggeration, it's true
No one else can make my heart flutter like you

No one else can make my heart flutter
There's a hole over me and it's gettin' no cover
??????Till you tell me you'll be my lover
And you're convinced we were made for one another
You are the one and there ain't no other

No one else can peak my desire
No one else makes me a spinnin' tire
Turnin' and churnin' and burnin' on fire for you
No one else can make my heart flutter like you

No one else can make my heart flutter
There's a hole over me and it's gettin' no cover
??????Till you tell me you'll be my lover
And you're convinced we were made for one another
You are the one and there ain't no other

No one else can peak my desire
No one else makes me a spinnin' tire
Turnin' and churnin' and burnin' on fire for you
No one else can make my heart flutter like you

No one else can make my heart flutter like you
Flutter like you
Flutter like you
Flutter
Like you
Flutter like you
Flutter like you

Old man comes out of the rain
His heart's as heavy as night
There was a time he was soldier boy
He forgot the times before the war
There was a girl he could have called his wife
But he let her slip right through his hands

He plays guitar on the corner some
Not enough to be a star
But it's enough just to have some fun
And make some people happy awhile

Searching for a sight unseen
For what his father has not been
He's searching for a feeling he calls home

Went to church to pray for a sign
Throw me a rope, Lord, throw me a line
So I can hang on or I can climb
I don't really care

I just want to find my own way
Sing the songs that my guitar plays
Make a child smile, make a daddy cry
Make my mama sing a lullaby

I'm searching for a sight unseen
For what my father has not been
I'm searching for a feeling I call home.

Livin' beyond my means, don't know how I'm gonna get by
Livin' beyond my means, don't ya know a man's got to try
Don't know how it started, all I know is it's got to end
I've got a noose around my neck and I don't know why

I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans
Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin
Don't know where you lead me all I know is I've got to go
Gotta find you babe, before I'm too old

[Chorus]
Livin' beyond my means
With all these loving you things
Don't know how I'll get by
Lord help me try

Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart
I didn't put up a fight baby just to find me one more start
Now it's taken me out of my home and put me out on the street
This loving you thing has got me beat

[Chorus]

I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be
On my way back to Texas I took a long look down in Tennessee
This wild turkey chase, well it's got the best of me
I guess it's best to quit when you're behind

[Chorus: x2]

Sitting up late at night in bed and I think of you
All alone, wide awake, I don't know what to do
So I reach for the phone and
There's your voice coming my way
Once again I'm all choked up, I don't know what to say

[Chorus]
Wanna tell you I love you, wanna tell you I care
Wanna tell you baby I'm right here
Wanna tell you I'm crying, wanna tell you I'm smiling
Wanna tell you everything I feel

But you don't come around me no more
Why don't you come knockin' down my door no more
You don't look at me on the street
You don't smile when you pass by
If you don't turn around soon
You're gonna make this big man, big man cry

[Chorus]

I know that things get cloudy when the sun goes down
And I know that cities wash away with the rain
And I know that you and I are not the ones to say goodbye
I know, no I think, no I think I know, tomorrow's another day

I'm sittin' on my soul writing a tale of love gone bad
But all I can think of are times when
You make me happy, you make me glad
I want to wake up, turn around and walk
Turn around and walk out clean

I know that things get cloudy when the sun goes down
And I know that cities wash away with the rain
And I know that you and I are not the ones to say goodbye
I know, no I think, no I think I know, tomorrow's another day

And I know, no I think, no I think I know, tomorrow's another day.

My words they may sound familiar
Like ones you may have heard before
But when I tried to write you a love song
I simply could think of nothing more

I love you, I want you and I need you
I’d love to have you by my side
I love you, I want you and I need you
Your love gives my soul a place to hide

I’ve thought of different ways to tell you
Words however come up short
Of the way I really feel about you
Of the way you’re always on my mind

How can I say it any different
The words they all mean the same

I love you, I want you and I need you
A rose is still a rose by another name

The words of those who’ve come before me
May have sparkled on the page and made you high
All I know is the thought of life without you
Is enough to make the strongest man cry

Amy when I speak to you please listen
Smile, laugh or cry but don’t walk away

I love you, I want you and I need you
Please tell me that you feel the same

My words they may sound familiar
Like ones you may have heard before
But never were they said with such conviction
I know they will ring true forever more

Weathered sign on the marquee
An old film playing at the show
He could tell by the clouds up top
And old northern was about to blow

So he hopped in his pick-up truck
Steered it on down the road
There he picked up his dark-haired beauty
Drove on down nice and slow, singing

This is my girl
This is my world
This is my girl
This is my world

A lovers' tune on the stereo
Cool breeze blowin' through her hair
He whispers to her soft and low
And quietly she stares

He says I know I could be a movie star
I know that you could be my wife
I was thinking at work today
I wanna leave with you tonight, because

You are my girl
You are my world
You are my girl
(You are my girl)
You are my world

They drive on past midnight
Wishing on stars as they go
Two young believers
Too young to know

Like a man in a story book
He takes off down the open road
Taking off to God knows where
He's taking off just to go

Singing, this is my girl
This is my world
This is my girl
This is my world
(This is my world)

This is my girl
(This is my girl)
This is my world
(This is my world)
This is my girl
(This is my girl)
This is my world

When will you answer
My lonesome question
Tell me what I'm bound to do
Now that you're gone

Waitin' for that phone to ring
You left me wonderin'
Alone and pondering
My lonesome question

Remember when I said to you
Darling I think we are through
Remember when I said goodbye
You walked home alone

Now that I've thought it through
I know I still need you
Come back and answer
My lonesome question

I know I said goodbye
I know that made you cry
Darlin' I think I
Just might need you by my side

So you can answer
My lonesome question
Tell me what I'm going to do
Now that you're home

Waitin' for that phone to ring
Alone and wondering
Why did you answer
My lonesome question

I know I said goodbye
I know that made you cry
Darlin' I think I
Just might need you by my side

So you can answer
My lonesome question
Tell me what I'm going to do
Now that you're home

Waitin' for that phone to ring
Alone and wondering
Why did you answer
My lonesome question

Why did you answer
My lonesome question.

I may not be old and broken down
My face may not be sad like a clown
I may not be dreaming of yesterday
But babe, I still got scars

My days may not be numbered few
I might have dog, I might have two
I might have lots of things to do
But babe, I still got scars

I might have change to go around
And I might have both feet planted on the ground
I might have music to keep me sound
But babe, I still got scars

I'm not saying life is bad
No I would not go that far
All I'm saying is don't envy me
'Cuz babe, I still got scars

I might have change to go around
And I might have both feet planted on the ground
I might have music to keep me sound
But babe, I still got scars

I might have change to go around
And I might have both feet planted on the ground
I might have music to keep me sound
But babe, I still got scars

And they're as deep as yours.

There was a time
There was a place
It was your name
It was your face

Well, I was sixteen
I thought I knew the plan
You were my girl
And I was your man

Late nights on the phone
Late nights in my car
Late nights chasing you
Wherever you were

Maybe those were the days
And those were my nights
I've left them so far
So dim those lights

And even when I dream at night
I cannot see your face
Well, I close my eyes and softly say
Those were my younger days

Friday nights at the park
Pep rallies at schools
You cheering for me
Me playin' for you

Sometimes I look back
But I really can't see
That girl that I loved
My young sweet Marie

And even when I dream at night
I cannot see your face
Well, I close my eyes and softly say
Those were my younger days

Yeah, even when I dream at night
I cannot see your face
Well, I close my eyes and softly say
Those were my younger days
Those were my younger days.

Another Tuesday night
In the rain
Another day gone by
They look all the same

I wake up in the morning
It's another day
Put a dress for you to see
And I'll turn the other way

While the rain keeps falling
Blue birds won't fly
But the tears will fall and the wind will blow
And I'll keep asking why

I can't find an answer
Or another way
To understand the debt that I owe
That I continue to pay

So I'll tell you I don't love you
And I'll tell you I don't care
And I'll tell you I don't need you
And I hope you're not standing there
And I'll tell you all those things
And I'll make 'em sound sincere
'Cuz all I really want
Is to have you near

All the good books tell me
All the good books say
Pick yourself off the ground boy
It's another day

I look at them and wonder
I wonder if they knew
How it is to love someone
Who's not in love with you

So I'll tell you that I love you
And I'll tell you that I care
And I'll tell you that I need you
And I hope you're standing there
And I'll say all those things
And I'll make 'em sound sincere
'Cuz all I really want
Is to have you near

So I'll tell you that I love you
And I'll tell you that I care
And I'll tell you that I need you
And I hope you're standing there
And I'll say all those things
And I'll know that they're sincere
'Cuz all I really want
Is to have you near.

I been workin' near all my life
Ain't had no time to find a wife
Had plenty chances, but I took none
Gonna sit down at this bar here
And I'm gonna have one

[Chorus]
Gonna drink 'till I can't see
What's happenin' to me
Gonna drink 'till it comes clear
What I'm doin' here
While I keep on workin'
Keep on workin'
Gonna sit down at this bar
While I keep on workin'

Well I don't need to drive down old highways
And I don't need to call up an old friend
'Cuz all I need is what's in front of me
And I don't need nobody's company

[Chorus]

Well I don't need to drive down old highways
And I don't need to call up an old friend
'Cuz all I need is what's in front of me
And I don't need nobody's company

[Chorus]

Ya keep on workin'
Keep on workin'
Gonna sit down at this bar
While I keep on workin'

Well, it's Friday night, Mary's lookin' fancy
Got her red dress on, she must be goin' dancin' on the town
That Mary goes round
Everybody knows her all over town

Well, I wanted to dance, so I walked up and asked her
We were on that floor
She said, "Faster, faster, come on, cowboy
Let Mary Go Round"
Everybody knows me all over town as Mary Go Round

[Chorus]
I can do the do the two step, I can do-si-do
I can even do the damned ol' cotton eyed Joe
I can do the waltz and I can spin around
I can keep up with any man in town

Well the band finished playing
We were all alone, I thought I'd take this little girl
Back to my home and fool around with Mary Go Round
And everybody knows her all over town

[Chorus]

Well the band finished playing
We were all alone, I thought I'd take this little girl
Back to my home and fool around with Mary Go Round
Well, everybody knows her all over town as Mary Go Round
Everybody knows her all over town.

Billy lights a cigarette
Thinkin' that it might do him some good
Tammy comes over and sits right down beside him
'Cause she thinks, she should

They don't know what they're gettin' into
Did you think they would?

Billy's just another boy
He's from the other side of the tracks
He's got his eye on a pretty little girl
But he's not so sure that she will lay down

Will she put up a fight like all the rest
In this worn-out One Light Town?
One Light Town

Tammy looks at Billy and says
"Hey darlin', you're my sweet"
Well Billy, he's actin' cool
So he smirks a soft one and says
"Darlin' that's real neat"

I think I'll go down town and buy me a beer
And drink myself into next week

Billy rolls a crooked one
Yeah, he's gonna smoke it and see where he can go
He's gonna lie out in an open field
And he don't give a damn
About the rain, the sleet or the snow

He's gonna leave this town behind him
Where he lands, baby, nobody knows
Nobody cares, nobody gives a damn
About that little boy down in Texas

Well, the wind's gonna start to rumble
And those tumble weeds are going to roll
Well, that's when we're gonna catch the next train to Boulder
We're gonna get out and take a long look around

Gonna dream about my buddy
Gonna dream about my friend
Gonna dream about ol' Billy
Way down there, stuck down there

That One Light Town
One Light Town
One Light Town

Light that cigarette
Here she comes
Take a one light train

Where in hell did you go
You left us all alone I wasn't even eighteen
You never turned around
Like some kid out on the run
You headed for the fun down in Biloxi
And the Gulf of Mexico

[Chorus]
Where I guess the girls they're pretty
And nobody says it's late
And you can stay out all night long and never have hell to pay
Down in Biloxi
Even when you're forty-one
Just forget your problems
Down in Biloxi

And you only came around
To take a rest and come down from Biloxi
But you were not the same
Pretending that you cared
Pretending you were there and not in Biloxi
And the Gulf of Mexico

[Chorus]

Did you really think you'd find
More than you left behind back home in Houston
We all felt the loss
I don't mean to bring you down
But I wonder what you found there in Biloxi
Tell me, was it worth the cost

Well I hope the girls were pretty
And nobody said it was late
And I hope you stayed out all night long and never had hell to pay
Down in Biloxi
When you were forty-one
You just forgot your problems
Down in Biloxi.

J. Ingram/T. Snider

Head over heels
Falling faster
Spinning wheels
Going round and round

No big deal
Just one more disaster
I’ll take my chances
If I’m falling down

Chorus

‘Cause I feel like I’m falling in love
I feel like I’m falling in love

I’m not afraid
Of my heart breaking
I have paid
That price before

All of my mistakes
Add up to nothing
We’ve got something
I want more

‘Cause I feel like I’m falling in love
I feel like I’m falling in love
This time it’s different
This time it’s real
I feel like I’m falling in love

Chorus

We've got to fight just to find something to talk about
'Coz it ain't right that we've got nothing to say
I always thought I could run, now I'm under the gun
And I fight just to find something to say

It used to be we could walk around in silence
But you could see things were good
But now the pain of what ain't said well it's gone to my head
'Cause anyone can see things ain't good

'Cause I ain't saying there ain't no more love here
It's just that I fear something's wrong
Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can now
To figure out how we can get along

So we've got to fight just to find something to talk about

Well I ain't saying there ain't no more love here
It's just that I fear somethings wrong
Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can now
To figure out how we can get along

We've got to fight just to find something to talk about
'Cause it ain't right that we've got nothing to say
I always thought I could run now I'm under the gun
And I fight just to find something to say

Yeah, I always thought I could run
Now I'm under the gun
And I fight just to find something I say

I know why you asked me here
You're not sure the coast is clear
You're about to speak your mind
This small talk is a bad sign

How many days have I been here tonight
How many days have I been here tonight

You keep stalling probably
Stretch it to eternity
Can't feel guilty say your lines
Breakin' my hearts not a crime

How many days have I been here tonight
How many days have I been here tonight

I can't stand the suspense
How long can I go on like this
How many days have I been here tonight

How many days have I been here tonight
How many days have I been here tonight

I can't stand the suspense
How long can I go on like this
How many days have I been here tonight

How many days have I been here tonight
How many days have I been here tonight

How many days have I been here tonight
Since I've been here tonight

I really want to work this out
If there's somethin' I gotta do
Tell me how to make this right
Cause I gotta get through to you
If I can find the right thing to say
That would finally take away your doubt
Cause we can't throw this away
Yea I really want to work this out

Tell me there's one thing I can't do again
I won't do that again now
Somethin' we're missin' we'll find it again
We'll find it again we'll find it again

Yea I really want to work this out
Right here and now
Before we have to be apart
Before we make the same mistakes again
Yea I really want to find a place
To stop wastin' all this time
I guess what this is all about
Is I really want to work this out

Tell me there's one thing I can't do again
I won't do that again
Somethin' we're missin' we'll find it again
Find it again find it again

Yea I really want to work this out
Right here and now
Before we have to be apart
Before we make the same mistakes again
Yea I really want to find our place
And stop wastin' all this time
I guess what I'm tryin' to say is
I really want to work this out
Yeah I guess what this is all about
Is I really want to work this out

If I close my eyes a while
Maybe I'd see through
Yeah I'd see through the miles
That won't keep me from you
And an arms length away
Is to far of a place
Yeah maybe what you need
Is to be my saving grace

[Chorus]
And I would if I could
And I want you to know
If you ask I would give
You better believe I would

Yeah well they say nothing lasts
But I don't believe that's true
And I would do my best
Just make this good for you

[Chorus]

I bet you'd be amazed
If I shut my mouth
And just listened to you say
That you're letting me stick around

[Chorus]

Yeah I would if I could
And I want you to know
If you ask I would give
You better believe I would
Yeah you better believe I would
Yeah you better believe I would

I see you looking and I know what you think
You're getting braver with every drink but
I am telling you something you need outta know

She may look like a sweet young thing
Talking to him but she ain't hearing a thing
If you were smart you'd turn around and let her go

That girl's a Barbie doll
A Barbie doll
She's real good-looking but she's got no heart at all

She puts on her makeup and drives to the bar in her
Boyfriend's old man's brand-new car
She got no idea what she does or why

She does whatever she wants I guess
Whatever comes first, whatever looks best
Nobody I know has ever seen her cry

She's a barbie doll
Ya a barbie doll
Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all
She's a barbie doll
Ya a Barbie doll
Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all

You should have seen her last Saturday night
She had a friend of mine treating her right
She was hanging on him until she found a better deal

You should have seen how cold she got
My buddy asked why and she said why not
Nobody I know swears she's even real

Ya she's a barbie doll
ya she's a barbie doll
Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all
Ya she's a barbie doll
Ya a barbie doll
Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all

Ya she's a barbie doll
A barbie doll
Ya she's real good looking, she ain't got no heart.

Don't you ever get tired of the noise
Don't you ever get bored with the crowd
If they have so much to say
Would they have to talk so loud
Why don't we get out of here
'Cause I want to whisper in your ear

[Chorus]
Hey you
Are you listening to me
I've got to tell you what you mean to me
You're the one I want to tell my secrets to
Hey you

There's some things I need to say
There's some things we've got to talk about
I've got to have your full attention
I don't want to have to shout
Even though you're right here near me
Well I wonder if you ever hear me

[Chorus]

Hey you
Hey you

Everybody's just dyin' to be heard
Everybody they want to know why
Everybody's got to have the last word
And it's always got to be goodbye
Why don't we get out of here
'Cause I want to whisper in your ear

[Chorus: x2]

Hey you
Hey you

J. Ingram/B. Robison

I come home now my woman says to me
There’s got to be somewhere I’d rather be
She left me staring at an open door
Now I’m so broken I couldn’t walk the floor

You get a little bit of hugging, you get a whole lot of pain
You get a little bit of sunshine, you get a whole lot of rain
And a whole lot of heartache, For just a little good time
Anymore good loving, will drive me out of my mind

If I was any kind of man now I’d go downtown
I’d find me a sweet thing she wouldn’t run me round
But every woman I ever knew
You give her an inch, man and all you get’s the blues

Inna came from Mexico
She tried to find a job
She figured she'd work on rich girl's nails
That couldn't be so hard

Inna's got a twelve year old
And she dies inside
She can't clear the picture from her eyes
Of leaving that little girl behind

But she's gonna find a daddy here
And her little girl's gonna come here too
But just like every other dream so far
She knows that one probably won't come true

And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah, that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry
And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
And Inna's friends back home, think she's got it made

So every week she sends some money home
She says things here going well
She doesn't let the tears touch the page
And stain the letter all to hell

I met Inna at a grocery store
We were waiting in line
I asked her who the Barbie doll was for
You'd thought that I had asked her who died

So I started to apologize
Man, I was just trying to kill some time
But I still can't get Inna from my mind
But I will never look behind

'Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah, that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry
And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
And Inna's friend's back home, think she's got it made

Yes, I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Inna's friend's back home, they think she's got it made

Well I don't give a damn that your car's on fire
It ain't none of my concern
I don't really care if you think I'm a lier
I know it's just because your getting burned
That ain't none of my concern
'Cause I'm watchin' your mustang burn

And I know what your thinkin' man your heart is sinking
Your cars going up in flames
And it's driving you crazy just thinking hey maybe
That someone like me is to blame

But that ain't none of my concern
'Cause I'm watchin your mustang burn
No it ain't none of my concern
'Cause I'm watchin your mustang burn

Well she was a vision perfect dimensions
Of what you thought true love would be
And she looked so good
You were under her hood

While your girlfriend was smiling at me
What'd you expect me to do?
I ain't got no ties to you
And it ain't none of my concern

'Cause I'm watchin your mustang burn
I said it ain't none of my concern
Because I'm watchin your mustang burn

Well, I know that you'll see her before I do
'Cause she told me I never would again
But I've got to get a message to her somehow
So I'm asking you this favor as a friend

If you see Juanita ask her for me
Why she's holding on to something that I need
If you see Juanita ask her nicely
Won't she please bring back my heart to me

She can keep all my Willie Nelson records
She can have my velvet poster of the king
She can keep almost everything she's taken
'Cause I all I really want is just one thing

If you see Juanita ask her for me
Why she's holding on that something that I need
If you see Juanita ask her nicely
Won't she please bring back my heart to me

If you see Juanita ask her for me
Why she's holding on that something that I need
If you see Juanita ask her nicely
Won't she please bring back my heart to me

Juanita, give back my heart to me

Sometimes you get beat up good
Drive yourself crazy being misunderstood
Sometimes you want to throw the towel in
But you come swinging like you just might win

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

Some days you wonder what it all means
Some nights ain't as bad as it seems
Sometimes you think you been had
Run yourself ragged in a world gone mad

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the road
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Still got a ways to go

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind

Some things ain't meant to be
The best things in life are free
And tomorrow is another day
Funny how the truth sounds so cliche

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the road
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Still got a ways to go

Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Push it on down the line
Keep on, keep on keepin' on
Keep from gettin' further behind
