1.Broken Record
Lyricist:Brian Blush, Roger Clyne, Arthur Edwards, Paul Naffah
Well, I fed your dog while you were on vacation
Covered all your shifts for you operation
But when you got back
You still wouldn't show me your brand new silicone boobs
So I took a walk around my neighborhood
To get you off of my mind like I knew that I ought to
But when I saw a big black van
Run down a bird I had to think about you
But no I'm not a quarterback, I'm not a fireman
Still I can have any girl in Japan
'Cause I'm a healthy
Hundred and fifty nine pound American boy
Yeah you tell a story like a broken record
And you tell a story like a broken record
And I tell a story like a broken record
But still I ain't jealous of the fellas like you, like anyway
So you took another guy on that Caribbean cruise
While I stayed home and cried into my bottle of pills
But when you got back
You didn't even have yourself a tan 'cause you stayed in your
room
So I fed your dog while you were out of town
And I mowed your lawn when he wasn't around
But when you got back
You had the nerve to ask me if I had gone through some your
clothes
Yeah I'm right
No I'm not a quarterback, I'm not a fireman
Still I can have any girl in Japan

Hundred and fifty nine pound American boy, yeah yeah

Still I can have any girl in Japan
'Cause I'm a healthy
Hundred and fifty nine pound American boy, yeah yeah
Yeah you tell a story like a broken record
And I tell a story like a broken record
And we tell a story like a broken record
But still I ain't jealous of the fellas like you like
You tell a story like a broken record and

You used to write my name on the back of your notebook
All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars

A black magic marker just to make absolutely sure
That no one ever thought that you'd take it that far
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
Well here we go again now, here we go again now
You used to write me those funny little letters
In a language ours and ours alone
I gave my 'Catcher in the Rye' for your 'Cat's Cradle'
And I gave my 'White' for your 'Abby Road'
It's been a good year for, bad days or a bad year for, good days
Well, here we go again now, here we go again now

No more negotiations dear

In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder
Cars break down and people break down
And other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you
Could you be more specific dear

Lyricist:Brian Blush, Roger Clyne, Arthur Buddy Edwards, Paul H.
Naffah
Well I think I saw you in a dream
You were dancin' by the slot machine
With a complementary whiskey in your hand
And when you asked what kind of streak I was on
Somehow it just got better
So we might as well pull our asses out of dodge
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town
So I think I saw you in a dream
Or was I just sucking down toluene
With a complementary vodka in my hand
When you asked what kind of trip are you on
And I blurted out somethin' stupid
When you grabbed my hand to drag me off to bed
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way
To heaven or the highway out of town, yeah
You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down

8.Preacher's Daughter
Lyricist:Brian Blush, Roger Clyne, Arthur Buddy Edwards, Paul H.
Naffah
I was born in the thirsty earth
Showed up in Tucson, fresh out of Leavenworth
Did my time on stale bread and dirty water
Nobody told me that lady was the preacher's daughter
Yeah, how her arms'll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed she never told me
I'll be the lamb for a slaughter
'Cause she's my preacher's daughter
Got loose from my incarceration
I paid a visit to her Daddy's congregation
'Welcome home', she said, 'You're lookin' good too
Meet my new husband, he's the sheriff who arrested you'
Yeah, how her arms'll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I'll be the lamb for a slaughter
'Cause she's my preacher's daughter, yeah
So I said my congratulations
Before I lost myself to my infatuation
I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again
Sheriff don't like it, now I'm back on the run again
How her arms'll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I'll be the lamb for a slaughter
Like the desert needs the water
Give me back my preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Yeah
9.Tributary Otis
Lyricist:Brian Blush, Roger Clyne, Arthur Edwards, Paul H. Naffah
I've traveled
And I've seen the things I build, workin'
Workin' to bring me down
And I may be thirsty now

10.Sin Nombre
Lyricist:Brian Blush, Roger Clyne, Arthur Edwards, Paul H. Naffah
Road hard, and I put up wet, I ain't down but I can't get up yet
It's a long ride back to the way I want to feel
Sun down across the plain, I've bee sore before I'll be sore
again
No place to hide to keep from runnin'
Laid down in the cotton wood hollow, I left a trail no man could
follow
Is it safe to rest my head again till morning
Cracked throat and my canteen's dry and
Rain don't fall from an empty sky
So I'll whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up
Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls
in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground
Road hard, come down tired, strip from the saddle when the rifle
fired
Deep in dreams of women and clean water
Well I did before what I'll do again
So forgive me father if I have sinned
But the old wood cracks before it bends
Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls
in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground
Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls
in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughin' when we finally hit
Yeah the candle's burnin' down, now midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground, yea
The candle's burnin' down, and when midnight comes around

13.Horses
Lyricist:Brian Blush, Roger Clyne, Arthur Buddy Edwards, Paul H.
Naffah
I woke up this morning with a bump on my head
An empty corral and a stone cold bed
Well all of my livestock was nowhere in sight
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She cut me off at the roots when she took my best boots
I'm hung-over and barefoot and long
You know I can't blame her try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She rode off by moonlight and cut through the fences
Looks like somebody's done come to her senses
You know I can't blame her try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She rode off by moonlight and cut through the fences
Looks like somebody's done come to her senses
You know I can't blame her try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
Too much time on the range and too much time the bar
She warned me and warned me but I took it to far
The whiskey was wrong and the woman
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
