1.Almost Goodbye
There was rain on the street last night
We stood beneath the front door light
And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard
You called me this, i called you that
Standing on the welcome mat
Everything we felt it all came down to just one word
But you couldn't say it and i couldn't say it
Chorus：
You know i tried my best to go
I know you cried 'cause i hurt you so
It should have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love was more than we could do
It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye
Now there was sun through the blinds this morning
When i opened up my eyes
Outside i could hear a mockingbird
And i could feel your heartbeat as you layed there by my side
I thought of how the world could end with just one word
But you didn't say it, and i didn't say it
Chorus
Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave
unspoken
You know i tried my best to go
And i know you cried 'cause i hurt you so
It should have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do
It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye, no, i couldn't say it was
Almost goodbye, oh oh
Almost goodbye.
2.Blame It On Texas
Been havin' a ball since i was a boy in beaumont
Love that town but i just couldn't stay
Two stepped all the way to amarillo
Shuffled my way into santa fe
Just had to see the sun set out in frisco
The golden gate is great
But it ain't home
Give me a rodeo
Chorus
Blame it on texas
Don't blame it on me
I am who i am
And that's what i'm gonna be
You can say what you wanna say
About my insanity
Blame it on texas
Don't blame it on me
Met a girl out in eastern oklahoma
Her daddy was a tulsa millionaire
With miles and miles of oil wells he'd leave her
All a man could want was waitn' there
But one night while she lay sleepin' i slipped away
Like no man in his
Right mind would do
Call me a fool
Repeat chorus
3.Brother Jukebox
Brother jukebox...sister wine
Mother freedom...father of time
Since she left me by myself
You're the only family i've got left
I go down to that same old cafe
Where i try to wash my troubles away
I'm still down and i'm still all alone
But it beats stayin' home all night long
Repeat chorus
I go home and i climb that old stairway
And i tell myself 'tomorrow's a new day'
But i know i'll just go down again
And spend my time with my new next-of-kin
Repeat chorus
4.Bubba Shot The Jukebox
(dennis linde)
We were all down at margie's bar
Telling stories if we had one
Someone fired the old jukebox up
The song sure was a sad one
A teardrop rolled down bubba's nose
From the pain the song was inflicting
And all at once he jumped to his feet
Just like somebody kicked him
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable
So we did not draw an easy breathe
Until he laid that colt on the table
He hung his head till the cops showed up
They dragged him right out of margie's
Told him 'don't play dumb with us, son'
'know damn well what the charge is.'
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
The confrontation was a tense one
Shook his head said, 'bubba boy,'
'you was always a dense one.'
Reckless discharge of a gun
That's what the officers are claiming
Bubba hollered, 'reckless! hell!'
'i shot just where i was aiming.'
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Well he could not tell right from wrong
Through the teardrops in his eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
It was justifiable homicide
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
5.Goin' Through The Big D
(mark wright／ronnie rogers／jon wright)
Six short months we went together
Decided it should be forever
Two paychecks are better than one
A diamond ring and it was done
Bought her a house like i said i would
In sub-divided neighborhood
The fuse got short and the nights got long
It was over long gone
Before i knew
Where i was headed to
I'm goin' through the big d
And don't mean dallas
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us
I got the jeep she got the palace
I'm goin' through the big d
And don't mean dallas
Things like this are never final
I'm still payin' on the vinyl
Flooring in the laundry room
It's multi-colored and waterproof
It's a little bit tough to face my friends
The ones that said i jumped in
The river of love a little too soon
That was august
This is june and it's a different tune
I'm goin' through the big d
And don't mean dallas
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us
I got the jeep she got the palace
I'm goin' through the big d
And don't mean dallas
I'm goin' through the big d
And don't mean dallas
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us
I got the jeep she got the two bedroom
Mortgage is due
Siding light blue palace
I'm goin' through the big d
And don't mean dallas
I'm goin' through the big d
And don't mean dallas
6.Gonna Get A Life
(frank dycus／jim lauderdale)
Gotta find somethin' to ease my mind
Gotta get it off of you
You tear at my heart strings one more time
With what you're puttin' me through
I'm not much on hangin' around
Where i'm not wanted at all
I'm not gonna be your love sick clown
Waitin' for your beck and call
I'm gonna get a life
That's what i'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like i should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
This'll be the last time you spin your wheels
Leaving like a maniac
You don't care about the way i feel
There's no need in comin' back
I'm gonna get a life
That's what i'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like i should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
Yeah, i'm gonna get a life
Before the gettin's done
I'm gonna get a life
That's what i'm gonna do
So startin' now
You can find one too
I'm gonna get a life
Like i should have done
A long time ago
Before you wrecked this one
I'm gonna get a life
Before the gettin's done
7.I'll Think Of Something
(jerry foster, bill rice)
I don't know how i'll get her off my mind - but give me time
I'll think of something
I can't say that i'm all right - but by tonight
I'll think of something
I'll find so many things to do that i wont have the time to
think of her
And then if she's still on my mind i'll try to drink enough to
drown the hurt
And if that don't work
I'll think of something
Where do i go for love that i still need - now that i'm free
I'll think of something
And if someday by accident we meet - and i can't speak
I'll think of something
If i can't say a word to her i'll blame it on this lump that's
in my throat
And standing there what will i do to hide my love enough that it
wont show
Well i don't know
But i'll think of something
8.It's A Little Too Late
(mark chesnutt, roger springer, slugger morrissette)
Weel, earll this morning it dawned on me
The kind of man she needed me to be
She made a list and laid it there beside me on the bed
Now what i should-a done keeps running through my head
Chorus
Oh i should-a done this and i should-a done that
I should-a been there then she'd-a never left
I should-a been hangin' on every word she ever had to say
But it's a little too late she's a little too gone
She's a little too right i'm a little too wrong
Now would be a good time to change
But it's a little too late
Last night i came home at a quarter til three
And to my suprise she wasn't mad at me
I thought she fin'lly realized not to worry i'd be home
And then i realized this morning she was gone
Repeat chorus
9.It Sure Is Monday
With the alarm clock ting-a-ling ringin' in my head
I woke up dog tired, beat down, half dead
Tryin' to recover from another wild weekend
Chuggin' down coffee while i should have been sleepin'
Well it sure is monday idn't it now
I gotta myself through the week somehow
I had a ball friday, saturday and sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is monday
Oh, i got to the job site at a quarter past nine
And somehow i stayed awake till lunch time
And then i caught a little nap, stretched out in my truck bed
My feet still twitchin' to the music in my head
Well it sure is monday, ain't it the truth
I partied too hardy, now i'm payin' my dues
I had a ball friday, saturday and sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is monday
Well it sure is monday, ain't it a sin
I gotta work my way through the week again
I had a ball friday, saturday and sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is monday
Yeah, it's all over now and it sure is monday.
10.Let It Rain
(mark chesnutt／steve leslie／roger springer)
Storm clouds rising flash of lightning rattles that ole porch
swing
Window open curtains dancing just you and me
As the thunder rolls on we'll just hold on neath the light of
this candle flame.
Oh this is perfect what a night let it rain
Let your love pour down down all around let it
Fill my heart let it flood this house
Let the world outside just wash on by we'll just lay right here
and hold on tight
Let it rain
Let it rain
Old man weather had it together when he planned this night
From out of the blue he set the mood turned down the lights
Just when we thought the storm was over here it comes again
So lay back down in these arms let it rain
Let your love pour down down all around let it
Fill my heart let it flood this house
Let the world outside just wash on by we'll just lay right here
and hold on tight
Let it rain
Let it rain
11.Old Country
(bobby harden)
City sun goes down at night
Making way for neon lights
Country boy is lookin at the moon
City girl is dressed just right
She may stay out late tonight
Country boy just plowed today ＆til noon
Chorus：
From birmingham to ohio
How they met nobody knows
Every now and then they get together
She used to want to climb the walls
She'd never been loved at all
Not until old country came to town
He's the first one to the room
Ice and drinks will be up soon
Everything is perfect when she walks in
They kiss and hold each other tight
They know what's in store tonight
This ain't some place they have never been
Repeat chorus
12.Too Cold At Home
Well, it sure feels good to come in here
And just pull up a seat
A frosty mug of a cool one
Helps to beat the heat
These old dog days of summer
Lord, i'll be glad when they're gone
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.
Well, that baseball game on tv
Takes me back to when i was a kid
We proudly wore those uniforms
Just like the dodgers did
Yea!, we won a few and and we lost a few
And for me it still goes on
Too hot to fish, and too hot for golf
And too cold at home.
Chorus
Well, i only planned on one or two
I might stay for three
If that good-lookin' thing in the corner
Keeps smilin' back at me
It's so easy not to care
'bout what's right or what's wrong
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.
Chorus
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And too cold at home.
