"Don't Stop (We're Just Gettin' Started)"

"Don't Stop (We're Just Gettin' Started)"


Girl I know that I promised you
I can make your every dream come true
But I admit I got a little ways to go

Trust me baby, we're closin' in quick
Before you know it we'll be stackin' the bricks
So, stick like glue, we got nothin' to lose

So baby, don't stop, we're just gettin' started
Don't quit now we got a foot in the door
Say you're not about to end the party
Baby, hang on tight just a little bit more

I stand behind every word I say
I love you baby, there's your reason, so stay
Don't be flip floppin' when you know that we're rockin' along

I can't believe you wanna throw in the towel
Stop and think of what I'm talkin' about
You threw your hat in the ring, that gonna get that thing

Baby, don't stop we're just gettin' started
Don't quit now we got a foot in the door
Say you're not about to end the party
Baby, hang on tight just a little bit more

Like an old violin or vintage wine
All good things come in good time
We might run out of road
Bein' like the end of a line

Honey I swear up and down
Our turn's about to come around
We'll have it all in the long haul

Baby, don't stop we're just gettin' started
Don't quit now we got a foot in the door
Say you're not about to end the party
Baby, hang on tight just a little bit more

Ah, sugar don't stop we're just gettin' started
Don't quit now we got a foot in the door
Say you're not about to end the party
Baby, hang on tight just a little bit more

Don't stop we're just gettin' started
Don't quit now we got a foot in the door
Say you're not about to end the party
Baby, hang on tight just a little bit more

"Drill Here, Drill Now"

"Drill Here, Drill Now"


Hello... Is anybody out there listenin' in Washington D.C.
This is the suffering voice of America crying out for relief
Now I don't know what a gallon of gas costs up on capitol hill
But we sure know what it cost down here in reality-ville
And the damage already done has been a mighty heavy toll
And if we're gonna fix it we gotta start right here at home

Drill here, drill now
How 'bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debatin' we're tired of waitin' everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now

Every time a foreign tanker pulls up to our shore
They got us over a barrel while they bleed us a little more
And think how much it costs just to bring it all that way
And how many American jobs that'd make if we were drillin' in the USA
Oh and God forbid if our oily friends should decide to cut us off

We'd be standin' around with our britches down now listen to me y'all
Drill here, drill now
How 'bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debatin' we're tired of waitin' everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now

Well the winds of change are blowin'
Yes and we recognize that need
But tractors, trucks, cars and planes can't run on tomorrow's dreams
So while we're workin' on the future we can't ignore today
'Cause who knows how much time the alternative might take
Somethin's gotta be done right now 'cause friends it won't be long
Before this great big country comes grinding to a halt

Drill here, drill now
How 'bout some oil from our own soil that belongs to us anyhow
No more debatin' we're tired of waitin' everybody shout out loud
Drill here, drill now

"Drivin' Fool"

"Drivin' Fool"


I pulled over at a little truck stop just outside el Paso Texas one night
Gonna try to get a cup of coffee 'n' wake up
Walked Inside sat down beside this old truck driver
We started yappin next thing you no were playin' cards
He beat the socks off me
Then it came time for us to go
So we walked outside I headed for my rig he headed for his
But just before he climbed up in that cab I saw him get down on his knee
And I heard him say this little prayer

Lord everyday, help me made the grain
Help me pull my way down the long highway
Keep my coffee hot and may my breaks stay cool
Lord please take care of this drivin' fool
Keep my hands steady on the wheel
Keep me in control of this chrome and Steel
My only prayer is lord that you
Keep takin' care of this drivin' fool

In the pourin rain and the hot sunshine
When the blindin snow hides the long white line
If its rough or if its smooth
Lord please take care of this drivin' fool

As he drove away, I thought now there's a man
Living everyday giving all he can
And then it dawned on me maybe we should to
Cause ain't we all jus drivin' fools

In the pourin rain and the hot sunshine
When the blindin snow hides the long white line
If its rough or if its smooth
Lord please take care of this drivin' fool
Lord please take care of this drivin' fool

"Drivin' My Life Away"

"Drivin' My Life Away"


Well, the midnight headlight
Find you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead
Slow me down makin' no time
I gotta keep rollin'

Those windshield wipers
Slappin' out a tempo
Keepin' perfect rhythm
With the song on the radio
I gotta keep rollin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day

Well the truck stop, cutie
Comin' on to me
Tried to talk me into a ride
Said I wouldn't be sorry
But she was just a baby

A waitress pour me
Another cup of coffee
Pop it down, jack me up
Shoot me out, flyin' down the highway
Lookin' for the mornin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day

Well, the midnight headlight
Find you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead
Slow me down makin' no time
I gotta keep rollin'

Those windshield wipers
Slappin' out a tempo
Keepin' perfect rhythm
With the song on the radio
I gotta keep rollin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a sunny day

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away
Lookin' for a better way, for me

"East Bound And Down"

"East Bound And Down"


East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch ol' bandit run

Keep your foot hard on the pedal, boys never mind them breaks
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch ol' bandit run

Hey now Smokey's got them ears on, he's hot on your trail
And he ain't gonna rest till you're in jail
Oh, you got to dodge him, you got to duck him
You got to keep that diesel truckin'
Put that hammer down and give it hell

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch ol' bandit run

"Every Now And Then (I Wish Then Was Now)"

"Every Now And Then (I Wish Then Was Now)"


Once in awhile my mind takes a trip
Down memory lane where two fool kids
First found love in my old tempest
Girl, we were something
Ribbons in your hair and white cotton dress
Hearts on fire, both scared to death
We lost our fear and our innocence
To sweet, sweet loving

Now honey, I ain't complaining
No girl, I'm just saying

Every now and then on a night like this
When the south breeze blows, baby I relive
That laugh, that touch, that kiss
Oh honey, how sweet it is
Every now and then when the moon's just right
Those old feelings come back to life
And I wish I could turn back time somehow
Every now and then, I wish then was now

We parked down along Dry Creek Road
"Burnin' Love" blasting on the radio
We were green but it never showed
Baby, we were red hot
Hotter than noon in mid-July
You could have lit a fire with the flame in our eyes
We left nothing to be desired
We gave it all that we got

So honey, lets take a little spin
And turn up those old feelings

Can't you feel the warm wind kickin' up
That's our cue baby, sure enough
Yeah, every now and then when the moons just right
Those old feelins' come back to life
And I wish I could turn back time somehow
Yeah, every now and then, I wish then was now

"Everything I Own"

"Everything I Own"


I can't shower you with pearls and diamond rings
All I can give are dances in the rain
I can't cover you in satin sheets
But you'll be just as warm
Wrapped up each night inside my loving arms

I can never lay the world down at your feet
The moon and stars will always be beyond my reach
All I have is one true heart that beats
For you and you alone
You can have everything I own

I can't promise you, the life that money buys
I can promise you a richer life
There's places you may never see
But one thing you can know
I'll be there with you, wherever we don't go

I can never lay the world down at your feet
The moon and stars will always be beyond my reach
All I have is one true heart that beats
For you and you alone
You can have everything I own

All I have is one true heart that beats
For you and you alone
You can have everything I own
Oh you can have everything I own

"Family Tradition"
(originally by Hank Williams Jr.)

"Family Tradition"
(originally by Hank Williams Jr.)



You know Country music singers have been a real close family
But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction
Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition

Tell me Hank why do you drink? Hank why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over everybody makes my predictions
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition

I am very proud of my daddy's name
All though his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over. Put yourself in my position
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition

Won't you tell me Hank why do you drink? Oh Hank why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs your daddy wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction
I said leave me alone, I'm singing all night long, it's a family tradition

Lordy I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me by the 1973
When that doctor asked me, "Son how did you get in this condition?"
I said, "hey sawbones, I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition"

So won't you tell me Hank why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
So stop and think it over, put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition
Yeah if I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition

"Five Gallon Tear"

"Five Gallon Tear"


We were all drinking at Marge's one night
When an old cowboy came through the door
He took a few shaky steps
Then he started to moan
And he keeled over right on the floor
Doc came on over, took his stethoscope out
He listened and he looked in his eyes
He said, "boys stick around
I just might need your help
I'm afraid this will be a long night"

Cause there's a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear
Lodged in this poor boy's heart
By the look in his eyes he ain't cried in years
And he's reatining a five gallon tear

Doc wrote a prescription to induce him to cry
It was whiskey and sad country songs
We propped him up in a booth
And poured a drink down his throat
Then we turned that old wurlitzer on
Well he spluttered and he coughed
And he hung down his head
As those lonely songs worked on his heart
When the memories started coming six minutes apart
We laid him face-up on the bar

And then a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear
Slowly welled up in his eyes
We all yelled, "push!" and we all gave a cheer
When he cried that five gallon tear

That jar by the door don't hold pig feet no more
The contents are sparkling clear
That liquid within is not moonshine or gin
It's a reminder to everyone here

Yeah, it's a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear
Let this be a lesson to you
Keep your sorrow inside for too many years
And you'll cry that five gallon tear

Buddy you'll cry
You'll cry a five gallon tear

Yeah, it's a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear
Let this be a lesson to you
Keep your sorrow inside for too many years
And you'll cry that five gallon tear
...

"For You I Will"

"For You I Will"


It's not my style to dance away the night
Or go for a walk beneath the full moonlight
And I don't wish on falling stars
Or easily give away my heart

But girl, for you I will
Can't hide this love that I feel
Never been the kind of guy
To fall in head over heels
But girl, for you I will

It's not like me at all to talk about
The likelihood of finally settling down
Couldn't speak the words "I love you"
Or find the courage to say "I do"

But girl, for you I will
Can't hide this love that I feel
Never been the kind of guy
To fall in head over heels
But girl, for you I will

I've never been the kind of guy
To fall in head over heals
But girl, for you I will
