1.This Can't Be Good
There's a campfire burning on the Mississippi River bank
My old pickup speakers are cranking out alot of Hank
That's the sheriff's daughter dancin' on my hood
With an empty bottle this can't be good.
There's an unwritten law in this sleepy little town
There ain't no drinkin on the river when the sun goes down
Think I see the blue lights comin' through the woods
Its the sheriff and his posse, this can't be good
Everybody is runnin' like the end of the world is comin'
With a Buffard T kinda law man closin' in
She just keeps on rockin guess i better do some talkin
She's too dumb to run n' i'm too drunk to swim
This can't be good...
Aww stay tuned...
This ol' haybarn's full of last years grass
I got a whole tin can full of campfire gas
Theres a little bitty flame on this piece of firewood
And when it all comes together it can't be good
Everybody is runnin like the end of the world was comin
With a wildfire burnin' like a freight train outta control
She just keeps on rockin', babe there ain't no time for talking
Throw her over my shoulder run with everything I can
Hold on babe looks like were jumpin in...
Now you know, when we get to the other side,
were gonna have to take all
These wet clothes off,
and hang out awhile...
you know, this could be good.
Yea!
2.Don't Make Me
Girl, when I look at you
you look through me
like i'm not even there.
Trying not to give up
to be strong but
i'm afraid to say i'm scared.
I can't find the place
your heart is hiding.
I'm no quitter but
i'm tired of fighting.
Baby i love you
don't wanna lose you
don't make me let you go.
Took such a long time
for me to find you
don't make me let you go.
Baby, i'm begging please
and i'm down here on my knees.
I don't wanna have to set you free.
Don't make me.
What if when i'm long gone
it dawns on you
you just might want me back.
Let me make myself clear
if I leave here
its done, i'm gone. Thats that.
You carry my love around
like it's a heavy burden.
I'm about to take it back.
Are you sure its worth it？
Baby i love you
don't wanna lose you
don't make me let you go.
Took such a long time
for me to find you
don't make me let you go.
Baby, i'm begging please
and i'm down here on my knees.
I don't wanna have to set you free.
Don't make me.
Baby, i'm begging please
and i'm down here on my knees.
I don't wanna have to set you free.
Don't make me.Don't make me.
3.The More I Drink
He was sittin' at the bar,
sippin' on a regular Coke
We were drinkin' and smokin'
and makin' him the butt of our jokes
We all said,
'Man, what happened to you？
Why can't you just have a few？'
He said,
'I would if I could,
but it's probably best that I don't.'
Cause the more I drink,
the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover
and a dancin' machine
I get loud, I get proud....
and it gets worse
Well if I have one,
I'll have thirteen
Naw, there ain't no in-between
Cause, the more I drink,
the more I drink.
A couple of cold ones,
and somebody hands me a shot.
Hell, even buck-tooth
and bow-legged women start lookin' hot
And pretty soon I'm bummin' cigarettes
and sweet talkin' some big brunette
Yeah, once I get on a roll,
ain't no tellin' where I'll stop
Cause the more I drink,
the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover
and a dancin' machine
I get loud, I get proud....
and it gets worse
Well if I have one,
I'll have thirteen
Naw, there ain't no in-between
Cause, the more I drink,
the more I drink.
Yep-yep
Humm, that's what I'm talking about
Man, if I have one,
I'll have thirteen
And they can't get me off the kareoke machine,
The more I drink...
the more I drink.
Yeah, the more I drink,
the more I drink, the more I drink.
4.I Don't Care
There she was;
Laughin', talkin',
window shoppin' with a new guy.
And I'd heard about him.
I heard she found him right
around when we said good-bye.
And I came real close
and almost lost my temper.
But I bit my tongue,
kept my cool,
'cause I remembered...
I don't care.
She don't matter.
I don't love her anymore,
he can have her!
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time;
Guess I forgot again for a second there;
That I don't care.
Almost 10：00.
I should've known his car
would still be parked in her drive.
Almost pulled in;
Knocked on her door
and gave her a piece of my mind.
Oh, but I just kept on
driving back to my place;
Wonderin' why I went so far
out of my way when...
I don't care.
She don't matter.
I don't love her anymore,
he can have her!
I don't know why it slips my mind,
I tell myself all the time;
Guess I forgot again for a second there;
That I don't care.
When I got home,
the light was blinkin' on that old machine.
She said,
'My brother's been in town,
but he just left.
And, I miss you!
Give me a ring.'
I still care!
She's all that matters!
I still love her just like always,
gotta have her.
I never got her off my mind,
been hopin' she would call sometime.
I know it's late,
to be drivin' over there,
but I don't care!
I don't care.
5.She Don't Love Me
You know if I'd seen her comin'
I'd probably tried to hide
But I came around the corner
And she caught me by surprise
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I thought she'd say to me
Well it was nothin' like that rainy night
She left and slammed the door
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
I felt like some neighbor
Just some guy she once knew
You'd never know she loved me
And I broke her heart in two
Was she hidin' her emotions
Or did she really get that strong
Right then she turned and
Introduced me to her new friend John
I could tell the way he shook my hand
He'd never heard of me before
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I knew she'd say to me
I guess she got so caught up in him
My memory's gone ignored
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
I know it might sound crazy
But I don't know what hurts me more
Is it the fact that she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore
6.Back There Again
This old Buick's like a needle on a compass
Pointed due west
I remember her smile like June sunflowers
And the look of her body
as she slipped out of that dress
God, I'm such a mess
Never a mornin' person,
but that girl's still in bed
The sheets are tanglin'
her little arm is danglin'
The last dream from her pretty head
I told her I was leavin'
She didn't believe the words I said
I ain't ever goin'
Back there, again
She'll put on her makeup
and drink from her tea cup
Glance at that silver frame
See, I took our picture
and then it'll hit her
She'll cry out with pain
Maybe, whisper my name
I ain't ever goin'
Back there, again
No one's gonna make me
Nothing's gonna take me
I ain't ever goin'
Back there, again
Now, don't blame her mama
for makin' me promise
Don't come around here, no more
She said, 'maybe your life's gone to hell
But, that's a tour of duty she didn't sign up for'
When you can't save yourself,
you save somebody else
Maybe that's how you survive
I'm runnin' away so she don't have to see
A life in slow-motion suicide
You throw in the towl
they call you a coward
Tell ya - fight, don't cut and run
I ain't no hero,
but the truth is I know
It's the bravest thing I've ever done
The hardest part is knowing what we could have
Shoud have become
I ain't ever goin'
No one's gonna make me
Nothing's gonna take me
I ain't ever goin'
Goin'
To break her heart, again
7.It Ain't Easy Bein' Me
There ought to be a town out there,
Named for how I feel.
Yeah I could be the mayor down there,
And say welcome to Sorryville.
It won't be on a map nowhere,
You might say that it doesn't exist,
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'd be hard to miss.
There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could dedicate to me.
I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a can of gasoline;
Walk on over to the other side
And there I'd light a match
And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames
Wonderin' how I'm ever gonna get back.
Why do I do the things I do？
Was I born this way？
Am I a self-made fool？
I shoot the lights and curse the dark;
I need your love but I break your heart;
And I know the words that'll bring you back,
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack.
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be;
It ain't easy bein' me.
Ought to be a side show act for freaks like me;
Yeah I could be the star of the show
With my name on the marquee.
In a room with a big red button
that says 'Do Not Touch,'
And twice a day I'd mash it down
And you could watch me self-destruct.
Why do I do the things I do？
Was I born this way？
Am I a self-made fool？
I shoot the lights and curse the dark;
I need your love but I break your heart;
And I know the words that'll bring you back,
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack.
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be;
It ain't easy bein' me.
8.What I Wouldn't Give
Leave the radio on just to hear a voice other than mine
Cause I can't bear to hear the cold
truth running through my mind.
Cause everything I did wrong just keeps haunting me,
it won't let me be
Lying here without you,
girl I'm starting to see why you gave up on me.
What I wouldn't give just to go back
when you were in my life I'd do it right this time.
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you
and that's why you're gone
I know I was wrong and I'll never hold you again,
cause of what I wouldn't give.
It kills me to think how much you tried to make things work.
I wouldn't listen to you,
all I would do is put myself first.
I took you for granted
and I pushed you away a little more each day.
Somewhere inside this hell I have seen my mistakes
oh but now it's too late.
What I wouldn't give just to go back
when you were in life,
I'd do it right this time.
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you
and that's why you're gone
I know I was wrong
and I'll never hold you again,
cause of what I wouldn't give.
What I didn't do is give my whole heart to you
and that's why you're gone
I know was wrong
and I'll never hold you again
cause of what I wouldn't give...
9.I Have Been Lonely
You told me I'd regret it
On the day I left you
I had the nerve to laugh
As I walked away
Well, its been six months
And eighteen days
Feelin' nothin' but This empty pain
And I just had to tell you
Even if there's nothin'
Left to say
I felt the burnin' on the hurtin' side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longin' on a long cold night
I have been lonely
I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches lord I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely
I was gonna show you
That I didn't need you
Now I need to show you I was wrong
Here I am knees to the floor
I don't wanna live like this no more
I'm heartbeat in misery
Now all my pride is gone
I felt the burnin' on the hurtin' side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longin' on a long cold night
I have been lonely
I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches lord I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely
I have been lonely
10.She Can't Get That
He meets her at the front door,
he can tell she's had a hard day... at work.
She's been needing him
and he's sure been wantin' her.
He touches her with tenderness,
takes her in his arms and takes it slow
What a shame she can't get that at home.
What a shame, she, can't get that at home...
There's nothing back there but a lonely house
and love ain't all about wood and stone
He satisfies all her needs and wants
What a shame she can't get that at home.
After the lovin' ,
they lie there and talk for a while.
She loves how he listens,
and he sure loves to see her smile.
He wants to keep her,
but he loves her enough to let her go.
What a shame, she can't, get that at home...
What a shame, she, can't get that at home.
Theres nothing back there but a lonely house,
and love ain't all about wood and stone.
He satisfies all her needs and wants
What a shame she can't get that at home.
He satisfies all her needs and wants,
What a shame she can't get that at home.
11.The Last Country Song
There a roadhouse just outside of town
on a two-lane blacktop
Where all the folks come to hear country music play
And every year the city's gettin' closer,
Lord knows it won't stop
And old Hank the bartender
gave us the bad news today,
yeah he said
This land was our land
but Lord now it's their land
And we're still here,
but not for long
So let's raise a cold one
and play all the old ones
'Til we've sung the last country song
There's 300 acres of cotton corn
and a little bit of gravel
All bought up by a builder from downtown
Tomorrow when the earth starts a-shakin
and the walls start to rattle
A big bulldozer's gonna take
Hank's roadhouse down,
so everybody sing
This land was our land
but Lord now it's their land
And we're still here,
but not for long
So let's raise a cold one
and play all the old ones
'Til we've sung the last country song
Will we play 'Swingin''
or 'He Stopped Loving Her Today'
It's really sad to see it end this way
This land was our land
but Lord now it's their land
And we're still here,
but not for long
So let's raise a cold one
and play all the old ones
'Til we've sung the last country song
'Til we've sung the last country song
Oh we've sung the last country song
