1.Happened On A Saturday Night (Suzie Q)
Well Bobby's out with Suzie Q
and Larry's here trying to down a few cold ones
to get her off his mind,
He's drinking Turkey likes it water if the bar had
something harder he'd be on it
in a blink of an eye.
Well just about then Suzie Q
walked in with that boy Bobby
holding her hand
and some are scared to death
and some held their breath but not one
person there didn't understand.
Well its all about love, one don't' one does,
and that's just the way it is.
One hearts moving on while ones holding strong
and ones left on the fence.
Its gonna be a Sunday morning,
first light, grapevine, tellin lies, face to face,
what happened on Saturday night
Then Larry called the waitress over
tipped her a 20 just to hold her
and Suzie saw it out of the corner of her eye,
So she left Bobby standin all alone
and empty handed as the band played Why Lady Why,
Well its all about love, one don't' one does,
and that's just the way it is.
One hearts moving on while ones holding strong
and ones left on the fence.
Its gonna be a Sunday morning,
first light, grapevine, tellin lies, face to face,
what happened on Saturday night
Oh Bobby's aim was true as he knock out
Larry's tooth and Suzie Q started cussing bobby out,
She told Larry that she loved him,
on the floor as she hugged him,
and the waitress bought bobby around,
and she said,
Well its all about love, one don't' one does,
and that's just the way it is.
One hearts moving on while ones holding strong
and ones left on the fence.
Its gonna be a Sunday morning,
first light, grapevine, tellin lies, face to face,
what happened on Saturday night
Sunday morning,
first light, grapevine, tellin lies, face to face,
what happened on Saturday night
2.Let Me Go
you were sittin on his tailgate
she was lovin on his roughneck
she was talkin bout runnin away
while he was puffin on a cigarette
＆ just thinkin
how am i gonna say goodbye
he said girl you got it good here
you don't need to mess with
a guy going nowhere
she said how's about Texas？
he got up and shook his head
then said
aint ya been listenin
it's never gonna work out
and i think it'd be a good time now
to let me go
you don't need me baby
stop holdin on the way you are
don't you know I'm no good for you
and it'll only break your heart
if you don't let me go
he said other than a dreamer
i ain't nothing but a drifter
you could do a lot better
he leaned over and he kissed her
he said you'd got another year of college
and a good momma and a daddy
and me i got 93 dollars and this old '82 Chevy
so let me go
you don't need me baby
stop holdin on the way you are
don't you know I'm no good for you
and it'll only break your heart
if you don't let me go
she said nice try
but you can't hide behind those shades there on your face
see i don't think you're all that tough
i just think you're scared of love
and i think i won't take up that much space
so let me go
take me with ya baby
it's so cold outside your arms
and we both know that you're not as strong
as you think you are
so let me go take me with ya baby
I'm alone where you are
we both know I'm so good for you
and it'll only break ya heart
down the road if you don't let me go...
with ya baby
let me go
3.Where I'm From
On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
Laughing at my jeans and my boots
Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits
When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free
So if you'd like the first one can be on me
He said i'm headin back from business in New York and Rome
Tell me son, Where do you call home
I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
The courthouse clock it still don't work
Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flings
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
Yes it may not sound like much
But it's where I'm from
So we drank that round and then another
There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover
He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother
He's been fighting the cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said I think this is the end
So come take me home to my family and my friends
Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
The truck's a ford and the tractor's green
And Amazing Grace is what we sing
Well there's a county fair every fall
And your friends are there every time you call
Yeah it may not sound like much but it's
Where I'm from
And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
Italian suits haven't always been my style
See I was quarterback of my high school team
We took state back in '63
And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen
Cause I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still dont work
Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads wear high school flings
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
Yes it may not sound like much
I said it may not sound like much but it's where i'm from
it's where i'm from
It's where I'm from
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound......
4.Tears
I paid first and last month's rent
I wondered why I'm even carrying that old bed of mine
It is not like I ever sleep
All I do is to think of her
And wonder how I am gonna make tings work
Coz I know as a dad I've got a lot of responsibilites
Even though God gave this gift to the both of us
Somehow every other weekend is how it ended up
So when the telephone rings
I drop everything
Cause when all you got is that 8 o'clock
Nite nite daddy miss you a lot
I stop in my tracks
And I try to act strong when she calls
And I thank God
she can't hear tears when they fall
Now its her Dr. Seuss and me
and she's learning how to read
And I cant see those pictures
but I can hear those pages turn
And her mum says it bath time
so she blows a kiss through the line
I don't know what's worse
saying goodbye or talking to her
Coz I'm the one who should be there tucking her in the bed
But since her voice is all I have
I'm thankful for what I get
so when the telephone rings
I drop everything
Coz when all you got is that 8 o'clock
Nite nite daddy miss you a lot
I stop in my tracks
And I try to act strong when she calls
And I thank God she can't hear tears
If she knew I was crying
she might think it's her fault
oh but that's just me missing her
Every time we talk
Every time we talk
So when the telephone rings
I drop everything
Coz when all you got is that 8 o'clock
Nite nite daddy miss you a lot
I stop in my tracks
And I try to act strong when she calls
And I thank God she can't hear tears
when they fall
5.Growing Up Is Getting Old
Well its been awhile since i did something
i could get arrested for
all the girls i ran around with dont
run around no more
those days of racing cars and closing down
bars are winding down
i feel like the only cowboy left here in this town
cuz i raised enough hell for my next fifty years,
dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told,
but man this growing up is getting old
Yea my buddy and I use to raise em high
and stay out til four
but his new wife wont let me crash
on the couch no more
even he said man aint it time to tone it down,
now thats the last thing i thought i'd ever hear
come from his mouth
cuz we raised enough hell for our next fifty years,
dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told,
but man this growing up is getting old
like a wild horse with such a tame
i got a wild streak thats hard to break
cuz i've raised enough hell for my next fifty years,
dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told,
but man this growing up is getting old
yea this growing up is getting old
yea its gettin old
6.That's All I Know
I think honesty is right, think lying is wrong.
I think Willy and Haggard wrote some awful good songs.
I think God rides around with the radio on,
in a ragged ole truck just like mine.
I don't think it's as bad as the newspaper says.
I think Vegas is rigged,
But then I wouldn't bet on these theories
and thoughts rollin' round in my head,
Cuz they change and they turn on a dime.
But I know there's a sun and at night there's a moon.
I get cold in December and sunburnt in June.
This ole world keeps turnin'
Time it ain't movin, it's slow!
There's a woman that loves me like nobody can.
She's my reason for livin', the reason I am
the luckiest man in the world.
And that's all I know.
I think Taxes are high, think politics stink.
But old Unlce Sam don't give a damn what I think.
And I don't believe worms aughta be in a drink,
But I swallowed once on a dare.
Think there's only one Beatles and Elvis is dead.
And I don't believe half of the stuff we been feed,
from the spoons in the hands of those ole talkin' heads
I'm not even sure that I care.
But I know there's a sun and at night there's a moon.
I get cold in December and sunburnt in June.
This ole world keeps turnin'
Time it ain't movin, it's slow!
There's a woman that loves me like nobody can.
She's my reason for livin', the reason I am
the luckiest man in the world.
And that's all I know.
I've got a family that loves me like nobody can.
They're my reason for livin', the reason I am
the luckiest man in the world
I'm the luckiest man in the world!
And that's all I know.
That's all I know
That's all I know!!
7.We Threw It All Away
Baby come and look
At this dusty yearbook
Do you remember those two kids？
It's you and me
Most likely to succeed
Had it all planned out yes we did
You were off to college gonna practice law
I was gonna play football
But we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
Momma cried, daddy went for a drive
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all away
The fall came and went
And so did are friends
Off doing all the things we thought we would
It was tough I know
But we never let go
Kept holdin' onto prayers
We thought we could
And then that morning in December
Don' you remember？
When we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
With your baby blue eyes
Our baby boy cried
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all away
Ain't it funny how life works out sometimes
just like we planned？
You make all the rules in this house
And I'm quarterbacking for our little man
You were off to college gonna practice law
I was gonna play football
But we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
Momma cried, daddy went for a drive
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all
God bless the day
We threw it all away
Yeah we threw it all away
8.Sorry Don't Matter
9.Barn Burner
Brown paper sack, wintergreen pack
A full tank of gas from a mini mart
Cruisin' slow with Curtis Loew Speakers
'bout to blow, let the party start
Take that ol' dirt road past that grain silo
Red taillights glow, it's a pickup parade
Over the cattle guard, find a place to park
Show me to the bar, take my keys away
It's time to play
Then it's beer bong hangin' from the hayloft
Jell-O shooters with Smirnoff
Long necks chillin' in the feed trough
Pig smokin' slow
Flatbed band cranked up loud
The more we drink the better they sound
See the bonfire from all around
Lettin' everybody know
We've gotta barn burner
Mini skirts, skintight shirts
Look so good it hurts, drives me insane
Mechanical buckin' bull
Shot glasses full of tomorrow's pain
Ain't you glad you came
Drinkin' games goin' in the horse stalls
Two step under the disco ball
Billy Bob's blowin' on his duck call
It's a hell of a show
Sticky from the sweat so to beat the heat
We go skinny dippin' down in the creek
Promise the girls we can't see
Thank God for that moon glow
We've gotta barn burner
Homemade shine way too strong
David Allen Coe sing-a-long songs
Bathroom lines takin' too long
Go behind the tree
Party all night 'til the sun comes up
Sleep it off 'til you lose your buzz
Good luck tryin' to find your truck
We'll see you all next week
At the Barn Burner
Let it burn
10.Hurry Home
he's been sitting by the phone since she left
but it's time for work and he just can't be late
so he grab this old guitar and he plays a couple of bars on the
machine
then he softly sings
It doesn't matter what you've done
I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been
you can still come home
and honey if it's you
we've got a lot of making love to do
and I can't hug you on the phone
so hurry home
well the message light was blinking when he got back
It was an old friend calling 'coz he just heard the news
he said, man I hope you find her
if I see her I'll remind her that her dad is worried
and want her to know...
It doesn't matter what you've done
I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been
you can still come home
and honey if it's you
we've got a lot of making love to do
and I can't hug you on the phone
so hurry home
well the days dragged by
without a word from her
and it looked like she might not be coming back
people said,
man don't you think it's time to take that old message off
he said no
you never know when she might come
But she was just outside a bar in New York City
and so-called friends had left her all alone
she was scared he wouldn't want her
but she dialed up that old number
and let it ring
and then she heard him sing
It doesn't matter what you've done
I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been
you can still come home
and honey if it's you
we've got a lot of making love to do
and I can't hug you on the phone
so hurry home
he walked in just in time to hear her say
that I am on my way
