1.Twang
When I get off of work on Friday
after working like a dog all week
I go to meet the boys for a cold one
at a little joint up the street
They got a jukebox in the corner
full of old country tunes
Feed it five dollars worth of quarters
is the first thing I always do
'Cause I need a little twang
A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whining like
a whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stomping honkey
tonkin' feeling going through my veins
I ned a little twang, twang, twang
Well, I like a lot of kinds of music
I try to keep an open mind
Depending on the mood to strike me
If I'm gonna stay till closing time
So when I wanna lift my spirits to
get me feeling worth a dang
I know I'm gonna have to heart it
'Cause I gotta have some Hank to hang
'Cause I need a little twang
A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whining like
a whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stomping honkey
tonkin' feeling going through my veins
I ned a little twang, twang, twang
'Cause I need a little twang
A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whining like
a whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stomping honkey
tonkin' feeling going through my veins
I ned a little twang, twang, twang
I need a little twang, twang, twang
2.Where Have I Been All My Life
Been down the road to work and back
Been in what I thought was love a few times
But every once in a while I stop and ask
Where have I been all my life
These days broccoli don't taste so bad
And neither does swallowing my prde
And I'm agreeing more and more with my old man
Where have I been all my life
Some years are clear and some a little blurry
Man how they fly by
Mom and dad sure got old in a hurry
Where have I been all my life
Been learning that forgiveness
is as much for myself
As it is for the other guy
And I read the good book these days and believe it
Where have I been all my life
Some years are clear and some a little blurry
Man how they fly by
Mom and dad sure got old in a hurry
Where have I been all my life
I heard 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong
It brought a tear to my eye
After all these years I finally get that song
Where have I been all my life
3.I Gotta Get To You
I gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin' to me
Gotta find a way to get to your heart
to sweep you off your feet
I wrap you up, get my luck
come and you will kisses so sweet
I gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin' to me
I'll wing you over, over and over again
I'm gettin closer, closer than I ever been
I gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin' to me
Gotta find a way to get to your heart
to sweep you off your feet
I wrap you up, get my luck
come and you will kisses so sweet
I gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin' to me
I'll keep on trying
trying and I'll never give up
I would be lying
If I said we were close enough
I gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin' to me
Gotta find a way to get to your heart
to sweep you off your feet
I wrap you up, get my luck
come and you will kisses so sweet
I gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin'
Gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin'
Gotta get to you
cause you sure been gettin' to me
4.Easy As You Go
He saw her after school sippin' on a coke
Acted like a fool, crackin' crazy jokes
She turned his motor on
man his heart was gone
Fire down below
Easy as you go
Easy as you go, steady as you fly
Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
Turn it on a dime, man you never know
Take a little time, whoo, whoo, oo
Easy as you go
Graduation night out behind the stands
In the fading light he became a man
She discovered love better be enough
Cause baby's gonna grow
Easy as you go
Easy as you go, steady as you fly
Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
Turn it on a dime, man you never know
Take a little time, whoo, whoo, oo
Easy as you go
Judgmental frowns, teachers looking down
Parents all ashamed passing out the blame
They got a little room, service station view
The rent's too high, the pay's too low, whoo
Easy as you go
Ain't nothing like a daughter or a son
To make a mama old and keep a daddy young
Make a body dream and give a life a theme
Take the highs and lows, whoo
Easy as you go
Easy as you go
5.Living For The Night
Everyday's a lifetime without you
Hard to get through
Since you've gone
So I do the only thing I know how to
To get by
I'm living for the night
I've drawn all the curtains in this old house
To keep the sun out
And off of my face
Friends stop by to check in cause I checked out
I tell em I'm fine
I'm just living for the night
Daylight can't hide the tears I cry
The pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out into
those neon arms that hold me tight
I'm living for the night
I'm a whole lot easier to talk to
When I've had a few
I settle down
The whiskey kills the man you turned me into
And I come alive
I'm living for the night
Daylight can't hide the tears I cry
The pain that came with your goodbye
The memories that keep me out of sight
Every night I venture out into
those neon arms that hold me tight
I'm living for the night
I'm living for the night
Everyday's a lifetime without you
6.Same Kind Of Crazy
Did you ever meet somebody
That likes all the same things you do
Somebody who can make you
Or break you anytime they want to
I met her at a red light love at first sight
Can this be true
She's good for me and she told me
I was good for her too
Now I don't wanna jump into anything
I've been trying to use some self restraint
Man its amazing she's the same kind of crazy as me
It's getting hard to use a ladder
Cause I keep climbing down just to kiss her
And if she's out of my sight for a minute or two
I start to miss her
We stay all tangled up in each other's arms
And it's so nice
She talks in her sleep
but she always gets my name right
If there's anything at all that's wrong with her
It's something I just can't see
Ain't no doubt about it
She's the same kind of crazy as me
Wild, wild nights
chasing each other through the moonlight
My, my, my I finally got something right
Cause every little off beat move she makes
Just suits me to a tee
Ain't no doubt about it
She's the same kind of crazy as me
Wild, wild nights
chasing each other through the moonlight
My, my, my I finally got something right
Cause every little off beat move she makes
Just suits me to a tee
Ain't no doubt about it
She's the same kind of crazy as me
You know what I'm sayin'
She's the same kind of crazy as me
Uh, huh
Tear it up boys
7.Out Of Sight Out Of Mind
I always heard people say it
But I guess I never fully understood it
I thought that they meant
You'd be easy to forget
But it's driving me crazy
Outta sight outta mind
You opened my eyes
And now I can see
What you mean to me
I was so blind
Outta sight outta mind
You know it hurt when you left me
But I thought life would go on without you
That was easier said
Can't get you out of my head
I don't know if I'll make it
Outta sight outta mind
You opened my eyes
And now I can see
What you mean to me
I was so blind
Outta sight outta mind
I was so blind
Outta sight outta mind
8.Arkansas Dave
He rode up on a winter day
Steam rising off a streak-faced bay
He said, You probably know my name.
If you don't, it's Arkansas Dave
He talked of fifteen years ago
And how he got the bay he rode
Said, he killed a man in Ohio
First man he killed, first horse he stole
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
He shot and left him where he lay
Said, he'd never forget that winter day
He rode off on a streak-faced bay
I stood up and I shook his hand
Told no one that I knew this man
Started thinking up a plan
Bout how I'd deal him his last hand
Didn't take him long to come unwound
He jumped up and gunned two men down
Ran outside to leave the town
But ol bay was nowhere to be found
I hid out with my .44
And when he walked back through the door
I shot till I could shoot no more
And Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floor
It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
I shot and left him where he lay
I'll never forget that winter day
I rode off on the streak-faced bay
No, I'll never forget that winter day
I rode home on daddy's streak-faced bay
9.The Breath You Take
He looks up from second base
Dad's up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide
There ain't no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game
He said, Dad I thought you had a plane to catch？
He smiled and said, Yeah, son I did,
But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away.
Fast-forward fifteen years
And a thousand miles away
Boy's built a life, he's got a wife
And a baby due today
He hears a voice saying, I've made it son.
Says, I told you dad
You didn't have to come.
He smiles and says,
Yeah, I know you did.
But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away.
Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away
When dad took his last that morn'
But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
If ya don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
10.He's Got That Something Special
I used to be the one who
She was always holding onto
Like a fool I told her way too tight
He was glad to see me let go
He's all I see now in her eyes
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
She sees
More in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks
He's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
Never knew how good I had it
Never do till you don't have it
I'd give anything to have her back
It hurts me to admit that
He's got what I never knew I had
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
She sees
More in him than she ever saw in me
She thinks
He's got everything she'll ever need
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
He's got that something special
But that something special used to be mine
11.Hot Grease And Zydeco
I hear the music, Big Daddy's place
Smell that gumbo coming through that old screen door
Fans are blowing, flies are buzzing
People jitterbugging on that hardwood floor
Work my fingers down to the bone
Make the money and spend it on
Hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly, feed my hungry soul
It's Friday night, let the good times roll
Hot grease and zydeco
My baby's loving, it's deep fried
Golden brown legs and then long black hair
We start cooking when we kiss
No time at all, Lord she takes me there
Down on the Bayou they're stirring it up
Tastes so good I can't get enough
Hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly, feed my hungry soul
It's Friday night, let the good times roll
Hot grease and zydeco
Hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly, feed my hungry soul
It's Friday night, let the good times roll
Hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly, feed my hungry soul
Turn it up, burn it up, say sure
Hot grease, hot grease and zydeco
Hot grease and zydeco
12.Beautiful Day For Goodbye
Isn't it like her to look so pretty
Like everything is all right
Like nobody cried all last night
Look at the sun, oh how it's shinin'
Almost a picture perfect day
Like nobody's going away
If it were just a little colder
She might need me to hold her
But wouldn't you know it the weather is perfect
There's not a cloud in the sky
It ain't rainin' or snowin'
there's no cold wind blowin'
It's a beautiful day for goodbye
Isn't it like me to wait til she's leaving
To know how I feel
I love her and I always will
In a second or a moment, forever can change
So I'm standing here praying for rain
If it were just a little colder
She might need me to hold her
But wouldn't you know it the weather is perfect
There's not a cloud in the sky
It ain't rainin' or snowin'
there's no cold wind blowin'
It's a beautiful day for goodbye
Wouldn't you know it the weather is perfect
There's not a cloud in the sky
It's a beautiful day for goodbye
13.El Rey
Yo se bien que estoy afuera
Pero el dia que yo me muera
Se que tendras que llorar
Llorar y lloyar, lloyar y lloyar
Diras que no me quisiste
Pero vas a estar muy triste
Y asi te vas a quedar
Con dinero y sin dinero
Hago siempre lo quiero
Y mi palabra es la ley
No tengo trono ni reina
Ni madie que me comprenda
Pero sigo siendo el rey
Una piedra en el camino
Me enseno que mi destino
Era rodar y rodar
Rodar y rodar, rodar y rodar
Despues me dijo un arriero
Que no hay que llegar primero
Pero hay que saber le llegar
Con dinero y sin dinero
Hago siempre lo quiero
Y mi palabra es la ley
No tengo trono ni reina
Ni madie que me comprenda
Pero sigo siendo el rey
