A little boy walks in with a bloody nose
got beat up on his way home from school... again! His dad caught him runnin out the back, tears in his eyes and a baseball bat. oohooh revenge! Said "Son I won't stop you but before you go, let me tell you a little story bout the toughest man I know. They hit Him and He just turned the other cheek Don't think for a minute, He was weak Cuz in the end, He showed them, He was anything but frail... They hammered Him to a cross but He was tougher than nails. Well he dropped that bat like it weighed a ton father put his arms around his son and said.. just let it go... Believe me I've been in your shoes had to ask myself "What would Jesus do" and here's what I know. Whenever I'm in doubt I look up what He said it's all there in the good Book in black and white and red. They hit Him and He just turned the other cheek Don't think for a minute, He was weak Cuz in the end, He showed them, He was anything but frail... They hammered Him to a cross but He was tougher than nails! Yeah in the end, He showed them He was anything but frail, They hammered Him to a cross but He was tougher than nails! tougher from nails! ooh ooh oh oh! |

Got a boat, got a car, got a house with a yard:
I'm still workin the best job I've ever had. But I'd give it all away, every dollar that I've made, If I could only bring you back. There's a door that I keep closed; there are boxes full of clothes, But it's memories I'm wishin I could pack. I would retrace every step; say the things I should have said, If I could only bring you back. But there's no words I can say: Not a prayer I can pray. No road that you can take back to my arms. But you'll never be gone: Our love will live on, As long as there's a beat in my heart. There's a smile that I still see, a voice callin out to me, And a longing in my soul I've never had. I wish I could touch your face, I would even take your place, If I could only bring you back. But there's no words I can say: Not a prayer I can pray. No road that you can take back to my arms. But you'll never be gone: My love will live on, As long as there's a beat in my heart. Got a boat, got a car, got a house with a yard: I'm still workin the best job I've ever had. But I'd give it all away, every dollar that I've made, If I could only bring you back. If I could only bring you back. |

I work overtime cause my boss is a jerk
It gets him off my back I go to see my momma right after work So she knows where I'm at Stop by my sister's and I hug her neck Tell her just let that guy go But there's a few things I do When I'm all by myself That nobody knows 1st Chorus: It's just somethin' I do for me Sometimes when I can't sleep I get in my car and drive down your street It's just somethin' I do for me I did everything that a man could do To try and make you smile I couldn't keep love from slippin away But I slowed it down a while When you finally told me that you'd had enough Well it broke my heart into So I swallowed my pride Walked out of your life I did that for you 2nd Chorus: But there's somethin' I do for me Sometimes I really need Sit in a bar drown some old memories It's just somethin' I do for me Bridge: I know these things might all seem strange But somehow they get me by This smile on my face is hidin' the trace of teardrops In my eyes 3rd Chorus: It's just somethin' I do for me Sometimes when noone sees I talk to the man, I get down on my knees It's just somethin' I do for me. |

This is your brain makin' everything make sense,
Countin' those nickels and dimes. This is your brain balancin' on the fence, walkin' that logical line. This is your brain got it all under control, both hands on the wheel. Stay in your lane, keepin' it tame, this is your brain. Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window, And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name. And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin' And you're crazy over everything she does. You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love. This is your brain buddy you can handle this, Gotta just get a grip. This is your brain man there ain't a woman alive, That you can't resist. This is your brain baby, just slow on down, Don't want to jump the tracks. You can refrain, keep it contained, this is your brain. Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window, And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name. And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin' And you're crazy over everything she does. You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love. You think that you're too clever now, to ever fall again, And your medulla oblongata says, boy get out while you can Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window, And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name. And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin' And you're crazy over everything she does. You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love. You ain't insane, this is your brain on love. Sweet love. |

The only the thing I see ahead is
Just the heat a rising off the road The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot of gold But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know Are long ago and far behind and wrapped up in my memories of home Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace While she hung out the clothes, Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead And its much too late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads, My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home. Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace While she hung out the clothes, Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads, My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home. |

If You Want Me To - Joe Diffie
Darlin' I'll pack up my clothes Take my heart on down the road I'll even make believe I don't love you. Lose my mind, go insane, turn my face to the pourin' rain There's nothin' I wouldn't do if you want me to. But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. If there's no way to make it work I'll find a way to hide the hurt I'll do my best to do what's best for you. I'll just take your memory and disappear quietly Quit acting like a fool if you want me to. But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. Ohh if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. |

There's something wrong
Lord I'm feeling it too That runs through my heart Like a torch cuts through steel You haven't said a word Are you feeling it too Is it cold in here Or is it just you Did I leave the door wide open And let the chill just kill that old desire Should I put my arms around you Or put another log on the fire Is it my imagination Or did the temperature just drop A notch or two Is it cold in here Or is it just you There's no warmth at all When I try to hold you near You stare into space As if I wasn't here Did our love just die Or is it just about to Is it cold in here Or is it just you Did I leave the door wide open And let the chill just kill that old desire Should I put my arms around you Or put another log on the fire Is it my imagination Or did the temperature just drop A notch or two Is it cold in here Or is it just you Oh is it cold in here Or is it just you |

I could tell he'd had a tough life
By the way he sat and stared And me, I'd come to push and shove So I pulled up a chair. We talked of roads untraveled We talked of love untrue Of strings that come unraveled We were kings and kindred fools And just when I'd hit bottom That old man raised his glass And said at least we had our chances There's those who never have. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in. He said it's only life's illusions That bring us to this bar To pick up these old crutches And compare each other's scars 'Cuz the things we're calling heartache Hell, they're hardly worth our time We bitch about a dollar When there's those without a dime. And as he ordered one last round He said I guess we can't complain God made life a gamble And we're still in the game. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in. |

Well I ain't afraid of die'n,It's the though of being dead
I wanna go on being me once my eulogys been read Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest You can put my mind to ease if you fill my last request Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Just let my headstone be a neon sign Just let in burn in memory of all of my good times Fix me up with a manican just remember i like blondes Ill be the life of the party even when im dead and gone Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight Fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Just make your next selection and while your still in line You can pay you last respects one quarter at a time Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight fill my boots up with sand put a stiff drink in my hand prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna go tonight fill my boots up with sand put a stiff drink in my hand prop me up beside the jukebox if I die Oh prop me up beside the jukebox if I die |

They were farm kids way down in Dixie
Met in high school in the sixties Everyone knew it was love from the start One July, in the midnight hour He climbed upon the water tower Stood on the rail and painted a ten-foot heart In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said that he should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green They settled down on eighty acres Raising sweet corn, kids, and tomatoes They went together like a hand and a glove On a clear day from their front yard If you look and know what to look for Off to the east you can still read his words of love In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green Now more than once the town has discovered Painting over it ain't no use There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover it The heart keeps showing through In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said the fool should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green Ah, paint it green boy In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green John Deere green |

She walks into Smokey's
one hip at a time Like a broken field runner slippin' through the lines He likes the way she looks so he calls a little wife says don't wait up for me, I'll be workin late tonight. Wife hangs up the phone bursts into tears calls her sister up and cries get over here. Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile. Leaves the motor runnin' he'll only be a minute, his car drives away with teenagers in it. Driver tells his buddies, got one life to live they scream into the night, lets get it over with. Chorus: Cause and effect, chain of events, all of the chaos makes perfect sense, when we're spinnin' round, things come undone. Welcome to the earth, third rock from the sun. The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve Heads for a semi-truck, jumps the curb Truck hits a bigboy in the Shoney's parking lot Flies through the air, takes out the bank clock Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks lines go down, town goes dark. Waitress calls the cops says she saw it all swears a giant alien has landed at the mall Cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the street, hate to wake you up but we cant find the chief, mayor says use your head, if he ain't in his car he's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's bar Chorus X2 Welcome to Earth third rock from the sun.

Well, I got my first truck when I was three
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to understand There's something women like about a pickup man When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks My first car was a pickup truck I was cruising the town and the first girl I seen Was Bobbie Jo Gentry, the homecoming queen She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab And said, "I never knew you were a pickup man" You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man Most Friday nights I can be found In the bed of my truck on an old chaise lounge Backed into my spot at the drive-in show You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand 'Cause there's something women like about a pickup man You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man A bucket of rust or a brand new machine Once around the block and you'll know what I mean You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man Yeah, there's something women like about a pickup man |

He plays guitar at a hotel bar
For out of towners and business men He struts and sings to his drum machine But he won't make it big at the Holiday Inn But she thinks that he looks like Elvis When he runs his fingers through that jet black hair And sometimes she forgets an order 'Cause she's so struck by him that she stops and stares Chorus: They gotta love bigger than the Beatles Wild and free like a Rolling Stone They gotta love takes 'em higher than the Eagles Ain't life such a sweet sweet song Na na na na na Na na na na na Na na na na yeah yeah yeah She pours some drinks, loads up the sink And dreams of being a movie star Her mama said she'd knock 'em dead But Hollywood hasn't called so far But he thinks she's as pretty as a picture When she wipes down tables in her apron strings And sometimes he forgets a chorus 'Cause she's shining like a beauty on the silver screen Chorus No you won't find their names on the walk of fame But they ain't missing much 'Cause when the lights go down on tinsel town All you need is love Chorus |

A little Miss Dynamite just blew my world away.
It was a pitiful sight, me begging her to stay. I never had a hunch, so how was I to know That she packed a punch that knocked my heart out cold? She put a hurtin' on this old cowboy, Broke my heart like a little play toy, Brought me to my knees from ten feet tall. The night she left me in Amarillo I cried crocodile tears in my pillow. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. How could a blue-eyed beauty only five-foot-three Lay a Texas size heartache on me? She came across so cool I didn't think that I'd get burned. Now I'm a big ol' fool with a leaving lesson learned. I thought I was strong like old Hercules, But she proved me wrong with her little c'est la vie! She put a hurtin' on this old cowboy, Broke my heart like a little play toy, Brought me to my knees from ten feet tall. The night she left me in Amarillo I cried crocodile tears in my pillow. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. How could a blue-eyed beauty only five-foot-three Lay a Texas size heartache on me?

But, I've made plans for tonight When I'm feeling blue, know just what to do And how to make it right Seems like I've needed this forever Gonna have myself a night to remember Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures On the floor, throw the dust off of our past let it All come floodin' back, cause' it ain't easy being Strong and when I can't forget your gone I just Surrender, and have myself a night to remember. Sad ain't my style but once in a while I just have to give in 'Cause a woman like you, is so hard to lose You just don't want it to end I know this can't go on forever So tonight I'll have a night to remember Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures On the floor, throw the dust off of our past let it All come floodin' back, cause' it ain't easy being Strong and when I can't forget your gone I just Surrender, and have myself a night to remember.

Downtown, stoplight, red car rolls by.
What else can I do, but wonder if it's you. Scanning the stations, every song they're playin' is like a soundtrack, to the love we had. I should be over you by now, but every time I turn around... It's always somethin' every day remindin' me. Everywhere I go, there's a memory. Ready and awaitin' to catch me off guard, There's no way to prepare my heart. What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do. If only I could just stop missin' you. I'd let go of our love, like it was never nothing. But it's always something. Lunch time, a new place. Waitress says her name. Why does it have to be, Emily. Corner store, stop in. Someone ask, "How ya been?" I say I wouldn't know. I really gotta go. Wish I could forget you, but I don't know how. Cause every time I turn around...... It's always somethin' every day remindin' me. Everywhere I go, there's a memory. Ready and awaitin' to catch me off guard, There's no way to prepare my heart. What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do. If only I could just stop missin' you. I'd let go of our love, like it was never nothing. But it's always something. |

My name ain't someone that they would know
But I lived here not that long ago She told me that she loved this little frame house So I saved up some money and put a payment down (chorus) Right over there in that front porch swing We held hands and we dreamed a dream or two That sure looks like the same ol' door Where I kissed her goodbye a thousand times before Please, bring her back to me I came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone You can go back, but you can't go home I wonder if they'd mind if I wandered around inside I'm feelin' kinda low and it's been such a long long time I'd like to get a good look at what our life used to be But there's one bedroom I can't bear to see (chorus) It's where it started Home, it's where the heart is Home, is where I lost it Home, it's so hard to find again Right over there in that front porch swing We held hands and we dreamed a dream or two Underneath the moon That sure looks like the same ol' door Where I kissed her goodbye a thousand times before Please, bring her back to me I came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone You can go back, but you can't go home Oh, you can go back, but you can't go home |

You're wondering what's coming next Can't be too careful this time No Love ain't something you trust You've seen a little too much of the quittin' kind That pain you're wrestling with I know right where it lives Been there a couple of times Always 'almost in tears' Living in fear of the quittin' kind If you don't know what you're got I'll tell you one thing it's not It's not the kind of love that would turn and run This one's steady and strong This one will keep going on and on and on To the end of time It ain't the quittin kind You don't have to be scared We're not going back there We're going to leave it behind All that sorrow and grief those bad memories of the quittin' kind If you don't know what you're got I'll tell you one thing it's not It's not the kind of love that would turn and run This one's steady and strong This one will keep going on and on and on To the end of time It ain't the quittin kind This one's steady and strong This one will keep going on and on and on To the end of time It ain't the quittin kind Quittin' kind no no no It ain't the quittin kind |

The Day I left I told myself she's wrong
I'am better of gone....better of gone I headed my old truck, in to the dawn I'am better of gone...better of gone If I'am better of gone then why am I alone in the dark If I made the right move Then why am I so blue and why can't I convince my heart When my mind says better leave her alone You're better of gone I wonder should I call her on the phone..naw I'am better of gone....better of gone surely I can make it on my own I'am better of gone....better of gone If I'am better of gone then why am I alone in the dark If I made the right move Then why am I so blue and why can't I convince my heart When my mind says better leave her alone You're better of gone If I made the right move Then why am I so blue and why can't I convince my heart When my mind says better leave her alone You're better of gone...better og gone |

Downtown, stoplight, red car rolls by.
What else can I do, but wonder if it's you. Scanning the stations, every song they're playin' is like a soundtrack, to the love we had. I should be over you by now, but every time I turn around... It's always somethin' every day remindin' me. Everywhere I go, there's a memory. Ready and awaitin' to catch me off guard, There's no way to prepare my heart. What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do. If only I could just stop missin' you. I'd let go of our love, like it was never nothing. But it's always something. Lunch time, a new place. Waitress says her name. Why does it have to be, Emily. Corner store, stop in. Someone ask, "How ya been?" I say I wouldn't know. I really gotta go. Wish I could forget you, but I don't know how. Cause every time I turn around...... It's always somethin' every day remindin' me. Everywhere I go, there's a memory. Ready and awaitin' to catch me off guard, There's no way to prepare my heart. What I wouldn't give, what I wouldn't do. If only I could just stop missin' you. I'd let go of our love, like it was never nothing. But it's always something. |

That?s one for me, and one for you
Add it up and we?re just two fools And on, and on, and on, and on, it goes You hurt me, and I hurt you woman Like two kids we're keepin? score Am I one, two or three heartaches ahead Are we even yet Are we even yet Do we even know if we?re holdin? on or lettin? go Nobody wins, when we can?t forgive and forget Are we even yet My words hurt, and cause you pain Tear drops fall like pourin? rain You cry and cry, love dies and dies some more Revenge is sweet, when you don?t talk I?m afraid you?re gonna walk What will it take to take back the things we?ve said Are we even yet Are we even yet Do we even know if we?re holdin? on or lettin? go Nobody wins, when we can?t forgive and forget Are we even yet |

Maybe a day will come
When you look into my eyes And you won't see the love you saw before Maybe a day will come When the words you need to hear from me Are gone with the closing of a door. Chorus But not in this lifetime Not in this lifetime It's too impossible to do Not in this lifetime Could this heart of mine Be for anyone else but you Maybe a night will come You'll reach for me and find That I'm just a stranger that you hardly know Maybe a night will come When all this love I'm feeling for you now I won't feel anymore Chorus But not in this lifetime Not in this lifetime It's too impossible to do Not in this lifetime Could this heart of mine Be for anyone else but you There could never be a moment in my life No, not a single minute That didn't have you in it. Not in this lifetime Not in this lifetime It's too impossible to do No, not in this lifetime Could this heart of mine Be for anyone else but you Be for anyone else but you |

I wouldn't count the times we talked about tomorrow
And I wouldn't sing the lines if some one played our song On lonely nights like this when I need a friend You'd be the last one I'd call Oh if I had any pride left at all I would keep a place just to set your picture Reach out to touch your face and feel you in my arms And I wouldn't be here now parked outside your house Not ashamed to crawl oh if I had any pride left at all And only a fool would still be wearing this ring Ringing your front doorbell And I wouldn't let my heart stay wrapped around your finger And I wouldn't fall apart when you open the door Like all the other times when your eyes met mine These teardrops wouldn't fall Oh if I had any pride left at all Oh if I had any pride left at all |

The street that we live on
Sure ain't no yellow brick road This paycheck that I bring home Sure ain't no pot of gold When people dream they don't wish they were us But what they dont know we got More than enough. Somewhere under the rainbow Just watching the late show Living on love Dancing slow to the radio Just holding on Somewhere under the rainbow. Some folks spend their whole life Dreaming about the other side Where the rain never falls and those bluebirds fly But I take forever where the skies aren"t always blue 'Cause when I'm in your arms I know dreams come true. Somewhere under the rainbow Just watching the late show Living on love Dancing slow to the radio Just holding on Somewhere under the rainbow. |

They were farm kids way down in Dixie
Met in high school in the sixties Everyone knew it was love from the start One July, in the midnight hour He climbed upon the water tower Stood on the rail and painted a ten-foot heart In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said that he should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green They settled down on eighty acres Raising sweet corn, kids, and tomatoes They went together like a hand and a glove On a clear day from their front yard If you look and know what to look for Off to the east you can still read his words of love In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green Now more than once the town has discovered Painting over it ain't no use There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover it The heart keeps showing through In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said the fool should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green Ah, paint it green boy In John Deere green On a hot summer night He wrote "Billy Bob loves Charlene" In letters three-foot high And the whole town said the boy should have used red But it looked good to Charlene In John Deere green John Deere green |

I thought that life was runnin' off,
leavin' me behind. So like a fool I jumped the fence, just to see what I could find. But love kept disappearing like children chasing fire flies in the dark. And to think that I once had it all, in my own backyard. You'd never know it now, but I used to have it all. A swing set and a plastic pool, a shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball. An angel with a glass of tea, laughin' at the kids and me, all soakin' wet from washin' that old car. And to think that I once had it all, in my own backyard. That bare spot's grown over now, where third base used to be. And the weeds have choked out all the flowers, but they can't kill the memories. Lord, I'd love to run back home, but there's no one there for me. And that grass I used to hate to mow, sure is lookin' green. Ohh, you'd never know it now, but I used to have it all. A swing set and a plastic pool, a shaggy dog that lived to fetch a ball. An angel with a glass of tea, laughin' at the kids and me, all soakin' wet from washin' that old car. And to think that I once had it all, in my own backyard. AHHH>>> You'd never know it now, but I used to have it all,all, all>> Spoken: Once I had everything, Sing again: In my own back yard..... |

Darkness falls. My tears fall like rain.
Blue whistle moans out your name. Gathering spead, carrying pain. Look out heart. Here comes that train. Just like her its a runaway. Out of controll drving me insane Barreling down the tracks that my tears laid. Look out heart. Here comes that train. Hot burning coals of her memory Just feed the flame that builds the steam. It drives those wheels right through my brain. Look out heart. Here comes that train. Chorus 2x |

What makes you think I care? When everything I'll ever need Is in that fridgedaire Well the phone's been ringin for an hour And I'm still standing here in the shower I guess I should go be lookin for you But I got better things to do I don't need to leave this trailer I got a cold budweiser and a sweet tater <short instrumental w/add> I said all that's left in the fridgerator is a cold budweiser and a sweet tater All thats left in the fridgerator is a cold budweiser and a sweet tater <instrumental> - lead out |

Thumb stuck high in the air
Destination anywhere This road decides to go Underneath the desert sky I find a place to hide and rest my weary bones This underpass will shade the heat As my mind drifts off to sleep... There you are with your hair all down And your feet are bare and your cotton gown What a beautiful sight In the moonlight The way you're looking at me with your loving eyes You let me know that for all my life You would always be my only girl But that's another place in time Back when you were mine In another world A car stops way up ahead I climb inside her hair is red I thank her for the ride She talks the miles away I nod and smile and try to say Anything to be polite But as the darkness ends the day Another voice whisper's my name There you are with your hair all down And your feet are bare and your cotton gown What a beautiful sight In the moonlight The way you're looking at me with your loving eyes You let me know that for all my life You would always be my only girl But that's another place in time Back when you were mine In another world There you are with your hair all down And your feet are bare and your cotton gown What a beautiful sight (beautiful sight) In the moonlight The way you're looking at me with your loving eyes You let me know that for all my life You would always be my only girl But that's another place in time Back when you were mine In another world In another world In another world |

1st verse
Well you filled up my head, With so many lies. You twisted my heart Til something snapped inside. I'd like to give it one more try but my give a damn's busted. You can crawl back home say you were wrong, stand out in the yard and cry all night long. Go ahead and water the lawn. My give a damn's busted. (Chorus) I really wanna care, I wanna feel somethin' Let me dig a little deeper..... Nah... Sorry.... Nothin' 2nd verse You can say you've got issues. You can say you're a victim. It's all your parents fault, I mean, after all you didn't pick em Maybe somebody else has got time to listen. My give a damn's busted. Well your therapist says It was all a mistake A product of the prozac And your co-dependent ways So who's your enabler these days? My give a damn's busted. (Chorus) I really wanna care, I wanna feel somethin' Let me dig a little deeper... Nah, still nothin' |

Like a whisper on the breeze I reckon it's not wonder That it never got to me I'm down here in Kentucky Where the sun don't ever shine The wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine Oh if l raise my eyes And look straight up in the sky I can see the clouds rolling by Well they're and then they're gone But I'm still here alone The wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine I saw a little blue bird Heard him singing through the trees It brought me right back to you Just as pretty as you please Then he took to flying Disappeared among the pines I can't get out of a hollow deep as mine Oh if l raise my eyes And look straight up in the sky I can see the clouds rolling by Well they're and then they're gone But I'm still here alone The wind don't blow in a hollow deep as mine |

No one knew he'd be the King of Kings A baby child so meek and mild And through the ages, angel voices sing Praise and Alleluia to the Savior Give thanks to God for all the gifts he brings Praise and Alleluia to the Savior And don't forget what Christmas really means Wise men came, they knew his name That blessed day went down in history And still today he lights the way And shows his love for all the world to see Praise and Alleluia to the Savior Give thanks to God for all the gifts he brings Praise and Alleluia to the Savior And don't forget what Christmas really means Pretty bows and mistletoe Families gathered 'round the Christmas tree And while they share their Christmas fare They remember that the greatest gift was free Praise and Alleluia to the Savior Give thanks to God for all the gifts he brings Praise and Alleluia to the Savior And don't forget what Christmas really means Praise and Alleluia to the Savior And don't forget what Christmas really means |

Thru the deep snows of uncertain winter descending
With Joseph I wander, with Mary I ride Toward the promise that waits At their harsh journey?s ending Those of humble estate shall in mansions abide Sprinkle some glitter on magazine angels Use matchsticks and clothespins to build Bethlehem Make the star in the East from a piece of tin foil Look for the child within Let Jesus be born again Now who will be greatest in the kingdom of Heaven The least of all children, the greatest shall be So turn not away from the poor and forgotten And always remember, his favorites are these Sprinkle some glitter on magazine angels Use matchsticks and clothespins to build Bethlehem Make the star in the East from a piece of tin foil Look for the child within Let Jesus be born again The gifts that we bring unto loved ones and strangers Also we bring to the babe in the manger So come all ye faithfull, ye shepherds and kings Look for the child within Let Jesus be born again Let Jesus be born again |

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in Sin and error pining Till he appeared and the soul Felt its worth The thrill of hope The weary world rejoices For yonder breaks A new and glorious morn Fall on your knees Oh, hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night, O holy night The thrill of hope The weary world rejoices For yonder breaks A new and glorious morn Fall on your knees Oh, hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night, O holy night Childrens Choir Out |

She walks into Smokey's
one hip at a time Like a broken field runner slippin' through the lines He likes the way she looks so he calls a little wife says don't wait up for me, I'll be workin late tonight. Wife hangs up the phone bursts into tears calls her sister up and cries get over here. Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile. Leaves the motor runnin' he'll only be a minute, his car drives away with teenagers in it. Driver tells his buddies, got one life to live they scream into the night, lets get it over with. Chorus: Cause and effect, chain of events, all of the chaos makes perfect sense, when we're spinnin' round, things come undone. Welcome to the earth, third rock from the sun. The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve Heads for a semi-truck, jumps the curb Truck hits a bigboy in the Shoney's parking lot Flies through the air, takes out the bank clock Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks lines go down, town goes dark. Waitress calls the cops says she saw it all swears a giant alien has landed at the mall Cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the street, hate to wake you up but we cant find the chief, mayor says use your head, if he ain't in his car he's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's bar Chorus X2 Welcome to Earth third rock from the sun.

He plays guitar at a hotel bar
For out of towners and business men He struts and sings to his drum machine But he won't make it big at the Holiday Inn But she thinks that he looks like Elvis When he runs his fingers through that jet black hair And sometimes she forgets an order 'Cause she's so struck by him that she stops and stares Chorus: They gotta love bigger than the Beatles Wild and free like a Rolling Stone They gotta love takes 'em higher than the Eagles Ain't life such a sweet sweet song Na na na na na Na na na na na Na na na na yeah yeah yeah She pours some drinks, loads up the sink And dreams of being a movie star Her mama said she'd knock 'em dead But Hollywood hasn't called so far But he thinks she's as pretty as a picture When she wipes down tables in her apron strings And sometimes he forgets a chorus 'Cause she's shining like a beauty on the silver screen Chorus No you won't find their names on the walk of fame But they ain't missing much 'Cause when the lights go down on tinsel town All you need is love Chorus |

The only the thing I see ahead is
Just the heat a rising off the road The rainbows I've been chasing keep on fading before I find my pot of gold But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures that I'll ever know Are long ago and far behind and wrapped up in my memories of home Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace While she hung out the clothes, Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home Now the miles I put behind me ain't as hard as the miles that lay ahead And its much too late to listen to the words of wisdom that my daddy said The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads, My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home. Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy row between my toes Home was a back porch swing where I would sit and mom would sing amazing grace While she hung out the clothes, Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm always going home Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding roads, My footsteps carry me away, but in my mind I'm always going home. |

I could tell he'd had a tough life
By the way he sat and stared And me, I'd come to push and shove So I pulled up a chair. We talked of roads untraveled We talked of love untrue Of strings that come unraveled We were kings and kindred fools And just when I'd hit bottom That old man raised his glass And said at least we had our chances There's those who never have. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in. He said it's only life's illusions That bring us to this bar To pick up these old crutches And compare each other's scars 'Cuz the things we're calling heartache Hell, they're hardly worth our time We bitch about a dollar When there's those without a dime. And as he ordered one last round He said I guess we can't complain God made life a gamble And we're still in the game. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in. |

If You Want Me To - Joe Diffie
Darlin' I'll pack up my clothes Take my heart on down the road I'll even make believe I don't love you. Lose my mind, go insane, turn my face to the pourin' rain There's nothin' I wouldn't do if you want me to. But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. If there's no way to make it work I'll find a way to hide the hurt I'll do my best to do what's best for you. I'll just take your memory and disappear quietly Quit acting like a fool if you want me to. But I'd rather stay around and love you And be the one to make your dreams come true But if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. Ohh if it takes good-bye to make you happy Then I'll just walk away if you want me to. |

Well, I got my first truck when I was three
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to understand There's something women like about a pickup man When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks My first car was a pickup truck I was cruising the town and the first girl I seen Was Bobbie Jo Gentry, the homecoming queen She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab And said, "I never knew you were a pickup man" You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man Most Friday nights I can be found In the bed of my truck on an old chaise lounge Backed into my spot at the drive-in show You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand 'Cause there's something women like about a pickup man You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man A bucket of rust or a brand new machine Once around the block and you'll know what I mean You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man Yeah, there's something women like about a pickup man |

Yesteday I missed my exit
On my way to Sears A song was on the radio I hadn't heard in years For a minute there the interstate Was 2nd Avenue And I was singing "Everlasting Love" And driving home to you Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken Just every now and then I think what would have been Somewhere down that road not taken By now we'd have our own business And a house just out of town In a neighborhood that smelled like dinner When the sun went down Two kids playing in their rooms With toys we never had A little girl who looks like you And a boy, just like his dad Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams That were forsaken Just every now and then I think about what would have been Somewhere down that road not taken What if I had asked you What if you'd said "yes" There's no way I'll ever know Still I can't help but guess Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams That were forsaken Just every now and then I miss a place I've never been Somewhere down that road not taken Yesterday I missed my exit On my way to Sears |

Junior pulled up into her sidelot Carried them up to the front door and hollered, "Wanda, lookit what I got!"

And by the way Shorty I thank you You could've had them put me in jail, Son I'm just glad I run out of air hose When I come at you with that nail gun." Oh Junior's in love, ain't that a good one?

That's when Junior turned bright red and said, "I'm taking her to the diner!" and he threw Shorty in the truck bed with a busted nose and a shiner Oh Junior's in love, ain't that a hot one? There's lots of lovers and Junior he's not one Don't know a kiss from a hug from a shotgun Junior's in love Oh you know there's an old puddle down by the diner and it came out of his transmission That's where he parks every night and stares through the window In a lovesick and sorry condition Oh Junior's in love, ain't that a good one?

Had my doubts, packed my clothes, I was on my way Right here on this spot was as far as I got I couldn't make it from here on out Lord, it felt like my shoes were nailed to the floor Had to hold to that old chair when I opened the door I got a breathtaking view of my life without you And I couldn't make it from here on out From here on out, I'm gonna know What I have and just how close I was to leaving what I'll need most From here on out Your sweet love turned me around Now every precious moment counts Oh, how I'm gonna love you From here on out One by one I retraced Every step I'd made And carefully put everything back in its place From here on out, I'm gonna know What I have and just how close I was to leaving what I'll need most From here on out Your sweet love turned me around Now every precious moment counts Oh, how I'm gonna love you From here on out |
