1.Should've Been A Cowboy
I bet you've never heard ole Marshall Dylan say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
Settling down would you marry me
If I ask you twice and beg you pretty please
She'd of said Yes in a New York minute
They never tied the knot
His heart wasn't in it
He just stole a kiss as he road away
He never hung his hat up
at Kitty's place
I shoulda been a cowboy
I shoulda learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter
riding my pony
on a cattle drive
Stealing young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should've been a cowboy
I might of had a side kick with a funny name
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
Ending up on the brink of danger
Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
Go west young man
haven't you been told
California's full of whisky
women and gold
Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars
With a dream in my eye
and a prayer in my heart
I shoulda been a Cowboy
I shoulda learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter
riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
I should've been a cowboy
I shoulda been a Cowboy
I shoulda learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter
riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
I should've been a cowboy
I should've been a cowboy
I should've been a cowboy
2.He Ain't Worth Missing
He's flying high tonight
He's got a brand new lover
Here you come a-runnin'
You're looking for some cover
I know you're sad and lonely
I know you're feeling blue
You miss him so much
Oh let me get to close to you
Oh he ain't worth missing
Oh we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing
He ain't worth missing
I know your head is turning
I know your heart is burning
Girl you gotta listen
Don't you know he ain't worth missing
You know I'm here to save you
But you ain't through crying yet
Look at your pretty face
All red and soaking wet
I'm gonna try and make him
Just a memory
Come on baby let's get started
First thing you got to see
Oh he ain't worth missing
Oh we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing
He ain't worth missing
I know your head is turning
I know your heart is burning
Girl you gotta listen
Don't you know he ain't worth missing
If you need someone to hold you
Someone to ease your pain
Well I'll be holding steady
Girl when you get ready
I'm gonna show you
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Oh he ain't worth missing
Oh we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing
He ain't worth missing
I know your head is turning
I know your heart is burning
Girl you gotta listen
Don't you know he ain't worth missing
Oh he ain't worth missing
Oh we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing
He ain't worth missing
I know your head is turning
I know your heart is burning
Girl, you gotta listen
Don't you know he ain't worth missing
3.A Little Less Talk ＆ A Lot More Action
I was getting kinda tired
Of her endless chatter
Nothing I could say
Ever seemed to matter
So I took a little drive
Just to clear my head
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
It looked like a place
To find some satisfaction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
I paid the man at the door
And pushed my way to the bar
Shouted for a drink
Over a screaming guitar
A drunk on a stool
Tried to mess with my head
But I didn't even listen
To a word he said
I knew somewhere
Amid all this distraction
Was a little less talk
And a lot more action
A little less talk
If you please
A lot more loving
Is what I need
Let's get on down
To the main attraction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
Well she was fighting them off
At a corner table
She had a longneck bottle
She was peeling the label
The look on her face
It was perfectly clear
She said somebody please
Get me out of here
The look she shot me
Through the glass refraction
Said a little less talk
And a lot more action
A little less talk
If you please
A lot more loving
Is what I need
Let's get on down
To the main attraction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
Let's get on down
To the main attraction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
Let's get on down
To the main attraction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
4.Wish I Didn't Know Now
I never ask you where your goin'
I never ask you where you've been
I've never called and checked your story
When you stayed out with all your freinds
I've never tried to catch you lyin'
I didn't want to know the truth
I'd rather go on lovin' blind girl
Than go on lovin' without you
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' it's you
You could never be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
I'd still look like a fool in front of your freinds
Yeah I wish somehow I didnt know now
what I didn't know then
I've always said what I don't know
Couldn't hurt as bad as leavin' you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin'
It ain't an easy thing to do
Well I guess I should be goin'
I sure found out too much to stay
Please don't say your sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' it's you
You could never be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
I'd still look like a fool in front of your freinds
Yeah I wish somehow I didnt know now
what I didn't know then
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
I'd still look like a fool in front of your freinds
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now
what I didn't know then
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now
what I didn't know then
5.Who's That Man
Turn left at the old Hotel
I know this boulevard much too well
It hasn't changed since I been gone
Oh this used to be my way home
They paved the road thru the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed good
It was gettin rough
Someone finally complained eneogh
Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while
Oh it's plain to see
The only thing missing is me
That's my house ＆ that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Whose that man runnin my life
If I pulled in would it cause a seen
There not really expectin me
Those kid's have been thru hell
I hear they adjusted well
Turn around in the neigbors drive
I'd be hard to recognise
In this pick-up truck
It's just an old fixer up
Drive away one more time
Lot of things going thru my mind
I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same
That's my house ＆ that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Whose that man runnin my life
That's my house ＆ that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
6.Upstairs Downtown
Route 14 Box 308
She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate
Hoping she would find her a place in the world
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes
It almost made her daddy cry
He said don't forget to call
when you get there girl
Driving on that two lane road
hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead
than what she left behind
Moving upstairs downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time
she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good
All bills paid and a room with a view
She's unpacked a dish or two
She just got her phone turned on today
There's a big old world waiting just outside
As she's thumbing through the classifieds
Looking for work and any old job's okay
Driving on that cross-town freeway hoping
she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead
than what she left behind
Living upstairs downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time
she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good
Then she lost her job at the grocery store
And the wolf came knocking at the door
The red notice said they turned off her telephone
There's nothing left for her to do so
she's packed up a thing or two
Loaded her car down
now she's headed home
Driving on that two lane road hoping
she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead
than what she left behind
Living upstairs downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time
she got back to the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good
7.You Ain't Much Fun
I used to come home late
and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog
howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' WET hen
up all night wonderin' where I been
I'd fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed out loud
I guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Now I'm paintin' the house
and I'm mendin' the fence
I guess I gone and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I could've died drinkin' now I'm killing myself
Now I'm feedin' the dog sackin' the trash
It's honey do this honey do that
I sobered up and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Now I'm fixin' the sink and I'm mowin' the grass
You made me a list and I'm bustin' my - WELL
All broke down tail's been draggin'
It's a tough ol' life up here on the wagon
Now I'm feedin' the dog sackin' the trash
It's honey do this honey do that
I sobered up and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Yeah I sobered up and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
8.Big Ol' Truck
Yea you can see the girl coming
from a mile away
She got her big wheels turning
she got Oklahoma plates
She's got the sunroof up
she's got her window rolled down
And you ought to feel the ground shaking
when she comes to town
Yea I'm in love with a girl in a 4 wheel drive
Crome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in a large machine
Man I wonder how she gets up in that thing
Cast a big showdow
sitting in the sun
She's got it reved up rocking ready to run
And someday soon
I'm gonna climb right up
and take a little ride in her big ol' truck
She's got bucket seats
fully customized
'In Your Wildest Dreams' painted on the side
It was built to run

She's got a Haggard hit playing on the stereo
Yea I'm in love with a girl in a 4 wheel drive
Crome steel bumpers and red step side

9.Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You
Day by day we let love just walk away
And I'll be the first to say
I was glad to see it go and day by day
Ever since you went away
I'm finding I'm still missing you
And I just got to know
Does that blue moon
Ever shine on you
I wanna hold you close to me
And feel just like it used to be and
Baby if you feel like I do
You can come to me
Does that blue moon
Ever shine on you
On my mind you were right there all the time
I could search and never find someone
That does me like you do
Here's the part where I'm giving you my heart
I was a fool to let you go
Girl I just got to know
Does that blue moon
Ever shine on you
I wanna hold you close to me
And feel just like it used to be and
Baby if you feel like I do
You can come to me
Does that blue moon
Ever shine on you
Night after night I look to the stars
Wondering where you might be
And I've thought to myself
Is that very same moon
Shining on you like it's shining on me
Does that blue moon
Ever shine on you
I wanna hold you close to me
And feel just like it used to be and
Baby if you feel like I do
You can come to me
Does that blue moon
Ever shine on you
10.A Woman's Touch
Lately I've been lookin' through
the windows of my soul
And I can see there's not much left to hold
Just an empty space surrounded by the pieces of
A badly broken heart that's forgotten how to love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
When I look in the mirror
the only thing I see
Are traces of the man I used to be
Late at night I hear it
it cannot be denied
A lonely voice is crying out from somewhere deep inside
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
Yeah its rough and ragged edges
Sure could sure some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
What my poor heart needs is a woman's touch
A woman's touch
11.Me Too
If i send you roses for no reason at all
If out of the blue i stop and give you a call
Once in a while
it's breakfast in bed
And then pull the covers back up over our heads
If i call in sick just to stay home with you
I want you to know why i do what i do
It's my way of sayin' what i can't express
But i want you to know girl i'm doin' my best
Oh i'm just a man that's the way i was made
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid,but it won't go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what i mean when i say me too
If you should wake up and catch me watchin' you sleep
And i break the silence by kissin' your cheek
If i whisper somethin'you don't understand
Don't make me repeat it,i don't know if i can
Oh i'm just a man that's the way i was made
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid,but it won't go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what i mean when i say me too
Me too me too
hope you know what i mean when i say
Me too me too
12.We Were In Love
If I could invent a time machine
Then maybe we'd both be seventeen
ruising in my first car
and actin'like movie stars on a Friday night
Do you remember those Friday nights
We were a rock ready to roll
there was a fire down in our souls
And all the whole world had to stand still
then turn around us
'Cause that was the deal
And oh how those nights went flowing like wine
When I was all yours and you were all mine
And we were in love
yeah we were in love
I can still see you when I sleep
There is a picture I still keep
You with your hair in the wind
And me with that crazy grin under summer skies
when dreams where too young to die
We were a rock ready to roll
there was a fire down in our souls
And all the whole world had to stand stil
then turn around us
'Cause that was the deal
And oh how those nights went flowing like wine
When I was all yours and you were all mine
And we were in love
Oh I know
I know it sounds crazy
but baby your still the one
So let's find a way to bring back the days
when our hearts were forever young
And we were a rock ready to roll
there was a fire down in our souls
And all the whole world had to stand still
then turn around us
'Cause that was the deal
And oh how those nights went flowing like wine
When I was all yours and you were all mine
And we were in love
yeah we were in love
And we were in love
yeah we were in love
13.Dream Walkin
She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle
On a table beside my bed
With a short little note that said I had a good time
It was written in lipstick red
She didn't sign her name I wonder
If that a little secret that she keeps
Ooo she's walkin' around in my sleep
Dream walkin' pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up
I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now
I gotta know how this dream ends
She took my new sunglasses and my old jean jacket
And she never even bothered to ask
You could say I haven't seen her since late last summer
But every night she comes back
Just like smoke through the keyhole
She slips in so silently
Ooo she's walkin' around in my sleep
Dream walkin' pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up
I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
Ooo there's a thin line between dreams and memories
I'll be losin' my mind 'till she comes back to me
Dream walkin' pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin I ain't wakin' up
I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
She's walkin' around in my sleep
She's walkin' around in my sleep
14.Getcha Some
Well boy meets girl and it's a good bet
Girl's gonna play a little hard to get
But they both got the same thing on their mind
Ain't that the way that the world goes round
Don't it get you up get you down
It gets you walkin' around with a flashlight tryin' to find
Love
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some
gotta getcha some gotta getcha some
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some Love
Then boy sees girl with another guy
What he wouldn't give just to catch her eye
'Cause man she is so hot
But you can't compete with a superstar
He's got a big old house and little red car
And what you need is the one thing you ain't got
Money
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some
gotta getcha some gotta getcha some
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some Money
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some
gotta getcha some gotta getcha some
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some Yeah
Then God smiles down from up above
The money rolls in and they fall in love
From the outside lookin' in it's a dream come true
But as time goes by somethin' turns up missin'
There's not enough huggin' and not enough kissin'
Before to long they better do what they gotta do
You know
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some
gotta getcha some gotta getcha some
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some Babies
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some
gotta getcha some gotta getcha some
Ooo-ooo gotta getcha some Yeah
You know curtain climbers and rugrats and tricycle motors
It don't matter what you call em
You gotta have a whole house full of 'em
Ain't nothin' in the world like youngins
Getcha some
15.How Do You Like Me Now
I was always the crazy one
I broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
You were always the perfect one
And the valadictorian so
Under your number I wrote 'call for a good time'
I only wanted to catch your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud
How do you like me now
How do you like me now
Now that I'm on my way
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now
When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money girl
Aint it a cruel and funny world
He took your dreams and tore them apart
He never comes home
And youre always alone
And your kids hear you cryin down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin
Who could that be singin
Its me baby with your wake up call
How do you like me now
How do you like me now
Now that I'm on my way
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now
How do you like me now
Now that I'm on my way
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now
Tell me baby
I will preach on
16.Country Comes To Town
Well the weatherman said it might storm today
I gotta hit the field
Gotta bail some hay
And I can't let it rain on my daddy's farm
Til I get it all stacked up high in the barn
And I'm gonna call my baby
She's been waiting on me
She lives down town on Sycamore Street
And the wheels on the black top
A startin' to whine
As I pass that Oklahoma City limit sign
I'm a hayseed
And a plow boy
I'm a farm kid
And a cowboy
I'm a roughneck
My daddy was a roughneck too
I run around with hillbilly girls
The weekend sits on my hillbilly world
You better be ready when the sun goes down
That's when country comes to town
Well her Daddy said child you better let him be
Well I don't like him and he sire don't like me
Momma just says ya'll have a little fun
Ain't doin' nothing me and papa ain't done
Open up the door to my pick-up truck
And my baby jumps in and she fires it up
And she gives me a kiss
As I crawl in
We've been waiting all week for a weekend
I'm a hayseed
And a plow boy
I'm a farm kid
And a cowboy
I'm a roughneck
My daddy was a roughneck too
I run around with hillbilly girls
The weekend sits on my hillbilly world
You better be ready when the sun goes down
That's when country comes to town
Yeah it's true I run around with hillbilly girls
The weekend sits on my hillbilly world
You better be ready when the sun goes down
Cause that's when country comes to town
Here I come
17.You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This
I got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time
There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around
They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
And We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around
They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Kiss me again
18.I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight
Well I'm not talkin bout locking down forever baby
That would be too demanding
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right
I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out
I'm just talkin bout tonight
You were sitting on your bar stool
talking to some fool who
didn't have a clue
I guess he couldn't see
you were looking right at me
cause I was looking at you too
Then it's 'do you wanna dance'
'have we ever met'
You said 'hold your horses boy
I ain't that easy to get'
Well I'm not talkin bout locking down forever baby
That would be too demanding
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right
I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out
I'm just talkin bout tonight
She said 'I only take it slow
By now you oughta know
that I ain't digging this
If we can start as friends
the weekend just might end
with a little kiss'
She said 'I'm a lady looking
for a man in my life
who will make a good husband
I'll make a good wife'
Heeheeeasy now
Well I'm not talkin bout locking down forever baby
That would be too demanding
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right
See I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out
I'm just talkin bout tonight
Yeah I'm just talkin bout a little bit later tonight

20.My List
Under an old brass paperweight
is my list of things to do today
Go to the bank and the hardware store
put a new lock on the cellar door
I cross 'em off as I get 'em done
but when the sun is set
There's still more than a few
things left I haven't got to yet
Go for a walk say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin' that's the next thing on my list
Wouldn't change the course of fate
but cuttin' the grass just had to wait
'Cause I've got more important things like
pushin' my kid on the backyard swing
I won't break my back for a million bucks
I can't take to my grave
So why put off for tomorrow what
I could get done today
Like go for a walk say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin' that's the next thing on my list
Raise a little hell laugh 'til it hurts
Put an extra five in the plate at church
Call up my folks just to chat
It's time that I make time for that
Stay up late then oversleep
Show her what she means to me
Catch up on all the things I've always missed
Just start livin' that's the next thing on my list
Under an old brass paperweight
Is my list of things to do today

American girls and American guys
will always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
when we see ol' glory flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
when we lay down our heads
My daddy served in the army
where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our
yard 'til the day that he died
He wanted my mother
my brother
my sister and me
To grow up and live happy in the land of the free
Now this nation that I love is fallin' under attack
A mighty sucker-punch came flying in
from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye
Man we lit up your world like the fourth of July
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist
And the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like
the whole wide world is raining down on you
Ah brought to you
courtesy of the red
white and blue
Oh justice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
An' you'll be sorry that you messed with the U.S. of A
'Cos we'll put a boot in your ass
it's the American way
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist
And the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like
the whole wide world is raining down on you
Ah brought to you

Oh oh
Of the red white and blue
Oh hey oh
Of the red white and blue

23.Deer For My Horses (With Willie Nelson)
Toby Keith - Deer For My Horses
Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
said somebody's been shot
somebody's been abused
somebody blew up a building
somebody stole a car
somebody got away
somebody didn't get to far yeah
they didn't get to far
Grand pappy told my pappy back in my day son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he'd done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree
round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street
For all the people to see
That Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
whiskey for my man
beer for my horses
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
too much corruption and crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law
put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down
Cause Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
whiskey for my man
beer for my horses
whiskey for my men
beer for my horses
He knew
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singin' whiskey for my man
beer for my horses
Singing whiskey for my man
beer for my horses
Of my Red White and Blue

Tight on the top with a belly button ring
A little tattoo somewhere in between
she only shows to me
Yeah we're goin' out dancin'
she's ready tonight
So damn good lookin' boys it ain't even right
And when the bartender says for the lady
What's it gonna be
I tell him man
She ain't in to wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sipping champagne
No Cuervo gold margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in tequila
She needs somethin' with a little more edge
And a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl

My ragged on the edges girl

Baby got a '69 mustang
Four on the floor

I jump behind the wheel and it's a way we go
Hey I drive too fast but she don't care
Blue bandana tied all up in her hair
just sittin there
Singin' every song on the radio
She ain't in to wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sipping champagne
No Cuervo gold margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in tequila
She needs somethin' with a little more edge
And a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl

27.Stays In Mexico
His name was Steve
her name was Gina
They met at a bar called the Cabo Wabo Canina
He was an insurance salesman from South Dakota
She was a first grade school teacher Phoenix
Arizona
They started dancing and it got real hot
Then it spilled over into the parking lot
One more tequila they were falling in love
One more's never enough
Don't bite off more than you can chew
There's things down here
the devil himslef wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
What happens down in Mexico
Stays in Mexico
He woke up in the morning
and he made a little telephone call
To check on his wife and his kids back in Sioux Falls
She hopped right in the shower with a heavy
heavy mind
He knew it was the first time
Gina'd ever crossed that line
They walked down to the beach
and started drinking again
Jumped into the ocean for a dirty swim
One more margarita they were falling in love
One more's never enough
Don't bite off more than you can chew
There's things down here
the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
What happens down in Mexico
Stays in Mexico
Oh Mexico
Waiting at the bar in the terminal gate
She says 'Steve I've got to go
I'm gonna miss my plane'
He said 'One more tequila before you climb on up'
She said 'One more's never enough'
Don't bite off more than you can chew
There's things down here
the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
What happens down in Mexico
Stays in Mexico
Stays in Mexico
Stays in Mexico
Oh Mexico
28.Mockingbird (With Crystal Keith)

Mock (yeah)

Bird (yeah)
Yeah ( Oh yeah)
Mockin' bird now
Everybody have you heard
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing

Surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah yeah whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa uh oh
Hear me now and understand
He's gonna buy me a peace of mind
And if that peace of mind don't say
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I'll ride the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear
Say yeah yeah whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa uh oh
Now everybody have you heard
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Yeah if that mockingbird don't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
Yes it will break this heart of mine
And there's the reason (that's why)
I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah yeah whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa uh oh
Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some peace of mind
Yeah if that peace of mind don't stay

29.Honkytonk U
My grandmother owned a night club
On the Arkansas-Oklahoma line
Mama put me on a Greyhound
And I went to stay with her in the summertime
I'd box up those empty long-necks
And stack 'em in the back and make a ham
Then at night she'd let me sneak out
Of the kitchen and let me sit in with the band
Yes I have sacked some quarterbacks
And broke my share of bones along the way
I knew it wouldn't last forever
Semi-pro always means semi-payed
I started climbing drilling rigs
I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be yeah
Then I took my songs and guitar
And sang 'em for a man from Tennessee
I've played every beer joint tavern
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
Like to get down with my boys
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
I am a red white and blue blood
Graduate of Honky Tonk U
A star can't burn forever
And the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
But the glass won't ever be
Half empty in my optimistic mind
I'll still have a song to sing
And a band to turn it up and play it loud
As long as there's a bar room
With a corner stage and a honky tonk crowd
I've played every beer joint tavern
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
Son I'm a red white and blue blood
Graduate of Honky Tonk U
Son I'm a red white and blue blood
Graduate of Honky Tonk U
30.As Good As I Once Was
She said 'I've seen you in here before'
I said 'I've been here a time or two'
She said 'Hello my name is Bobby Jo
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight
And you're the only cowboy in this place
And if you're up for a rodeo
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face'
I said 'Girls
I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really lay it down
And if you need some love tonight
Then I might have just enough
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was'
I still hang out with my best friend Dave
I've known him since we were kids at school
Last night he had a few shots got in a tight spot
Hustlin' a game of pool with a couple of redneck boys
One great big bad biker man
I heard David yell across the room
'Hey buddy how 'bout a helping hand'
I said 'Dave
I ain't as good as I once was
My how the years have flown
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really hold my own
But if you wanna fight tonight
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was'
I used to be hell on wheels
Back when I was a younger man
Now my body says 'You can't do this boy'
But my pride says 'Oh yes you can'
I ain't as good as I once was
That's just the cold hard truth
I still throw a few back talk a little smack
When I'm feelin' bulletproof
So don't double dog dare me now
'Cause I'd have to call your bluff
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
May not be good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
31.Big Blue Note
See that big blue note
Over there on the counter
You don't wanna read that thing man
It's a real get-you-downer
But don't you dare say nothin' else
Bad about her： she's gone
No no no no don't don't throw it away
'Cause tonight I might need it
It gets real lonely around here at night some times
An' I have to read read it
Besides you can show it to the boys down town
They won't believe that she's gone
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find
just like that
she's up an' vanished
An' the only thing she left behind for me
Is this big blue note
Folded up in my pocket
Yeah don't laugh： it's been two months
I still got it
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice
Just to make sure I ain't forgot that she's gone
You know my psychiatrist said
'Tell me what do you see
'When you look at these inkspots
'Of er reds yellows an' greens'
You know I looked at 'em all
But they all looked to me like big blue notes
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
All the man that she'll ever need
I come home to find
just like that
she's up an' vanished
An' the only thing that's left to do for me
Is stand high on this cliff
Overlooking the sea
With my big blue notepaper aeroplane
That I just set free
An' I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes
An' if it don't come back to me
You guessed it： she's gone
Crash landing
Bye bye baby
32.Get Drunk ＆ Be Somebody
Yeah the big boss man
he likes to crack that whip
I ain't nothing but a number on his timecard slip
I give him 40 hours and a piece of my soul
Puts me somewhere at the bottom of his totem pole
Hell I don't even think he knows my name
Well all week long I'm a real nobody
But I just punched out and its paycheck Friday
Weekends here
good God almighty
I'm gonna get drunk and be somebody
Yeah yeah yeah
My baby cuts hair at a beauty boutique
Just blowin' and goin' till she's dead on her feet
They walk right in and sit right down
She gives them what they want
and then she spins them around
Hey I don't think they even know her name
All week long she's a real nobody
But I just picked her up and its paycheck Friday
Weekends here
good God almighty
Baby lets get drunk and be somebody
Yeah yeah yeah
We're just average people
in an everyday bar
Driving from work in our ordinary cars
And I like to come here with the regular Joes
Drink all you want

All week long a bunch of real nobodies
But we just punched out and its paycheck Friday
Weekends here

People lets get drunk (lets get drunk!)

It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone
A little too tired of this hangin' on

It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late
No I don't want to want to talk about what

Only time you and me wastin'

Yeah talk about water under the bridge
You should know by now girl that's all this is
It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone
A little too tired of just hangin' on

It's got a little too sad

You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late
There was a time
this heart of mine
would take you back every time

It's been two packs of cigaretts
a sleepless night
a nervous wreck a day ago
Now you ain't got no business coming around
I'm closing up shop
Shuttin' us down
It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone
A little too tired of just hangin' on
I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late
I'm big time over you baby
It's a little too late
34.She's A Hottie

35.I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying
Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime
She says 'are you ok I was worried about you
'Can you forgive me I hope that you'll be happy'
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
I saw a friend of mine he said
'I was worried about you
I heard she had another man
I wondered how you felt about I
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
Saw my lawyer Mr good news he got me
Joint custody and legal separation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm laughing through my tears
I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try to find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me
I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids
and one star for my wife
Something made me smile
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe
and how it's all connected
The park is full of sunday fathers
and melted ice cream
We try to do the best
within the givin time
A kid should be with his mother
everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes
I saw that friend of mine he said
'you look different somehow' I said
'everybody's got to leave this darkness sometime'
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
