"Fool's Paradise"

"Fool's Paradise"


I've got this Caribbean queen
Rubbin' in my coconut sunscreen
You'd think you'd be the last thing on my mind
I've got a beautiful ocean view
Ten thousand miles from you
So why couldn't I leave this broken heart behind

Oh the sunshine is dancin' on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep tellin' myself
I'm havin' the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise

Well I keep on tellin' me
There's other fish in the sea
But your memory keeps reminding me I'm wrong
There's a party 'bout every night
And I should be out doin' it up right
Instead of watchin' re-runs of Gilligan's Island all alone (all night long)

Oh the moonlight is dancin' on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep tellin' myself
I'm havin' the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise

This time next week I'll be headed to Texas On a big jet airplane
Oh when I get home you know this broken heart is gonna hit me like a hurricane

Oh the sunshine is dancin' on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep tellin' myself
I'm havin' the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise

"For What It's Worth"

"For What It's Worth"


I just called to say good bye
But I was hopin' that you would beg me not to go
You where my only reason for stayin'
Besides the amarillo winters are to cold to spend alone

[Chorus:]
So what its worth
I'll be in fort worth
Just in case you ever start missin' me
I'm gonna be right here in fort worth
So for what its worth thats where I'm gonna be

Before the pain I put you through
Those late night calls from those random county jails
I know I swore never to bother you again
But if you don't mind could you find the time to forward me my mail

[Chorus]

If you need a friend; a friendly conversation
You got my number and an open invitation

[Chorus]

"Freight Train"

"Freight Train"


Gonna give ‘em that two four four on the floor
Like them outlaw boys done did before
Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more
Gotta give ‘em all what they came here for
Doing my thing, singing my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train

On a wing and a prayer and a glorified Greyhound bus
Flying down the road running 9-0 and kicking up dust
Drinking truck stop coffee counting birds on those telephone wires
Burning the midnight oil and the tread off these ol' Goodyear tires

Gonna give ‘em that two four four on the floor
Like them outlaw boys done did before
Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more
Gotta give ‘em all what they came here for
Doing my thing, singing my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train

And sometimes my mind is a million miles away
I know you're sound asleep at home while I'm on this stage
And I'm missing you wishing I was kissing you every day
But girl I gotta keep on rolling, rolling like an old freight train

And it's a mighty lonesome sound when there's not a soul around
To help you ease your pain
But you gotta keep rolling, rolling like an old freight train

Gonna give ‘em that two four four on the floor
Like them outlaw boys done did before
Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more
Gotta give ‘em all what they came here for
Doing my thing, singing my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train

Comin' on down the line
Feel that diesel engine wind
Smell the smokestack
Hear the gears grind
Full steam ahead
Half way outta my mind
I'm too far gone to be turnin' back
Going clickety clack on the railroad track
I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train
Just like an ol' freight train
Tell me do you wanna ride this train

"Getaway Truck"

"Getaway Truck"


They say you never know what you got until it's gone
He's gonna learn the hard way, when he finds you long gone
Gone like the wind in your hair, hands in the air
Singing, so long, good luck
I wanna set your heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway
Heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway truck

1989 Cheyenne Chevrolet
5-Speed, single cab
Bench seat, faded grey
Turned over twice, ain't too nice
But it knows how to run
Girl, I'll get you out with a bang
Like a bullet from a gun

They say you never know what you got until it's gone
He's gonna learn the hard way, when he finds you long gone
Gone like the wind in your hair, hands in the air
Singing, so long, good luck
Girl, I wanna set your heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway
Heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway truck

Summertime sunshine, cheap sunglasses
My heart sang southern twang
Sweeter than molasses, like the
Country angel two stepping in my dance of dreams
Girl, you got a heart of gold
And you're beautiful in blue jeans

They say you never know what you got until it's gone
He's gonna learn the hard way, when he finds you long gone
Gone like the wind in your hair, hands in the air
Singing, so long, good luck
Girl, I wanna set your heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway
Heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway truck

They say life is like a highway
You can turn into a dead end road
I ain't afraid to get stuck
I got a 4-wheel drive kinda heart
I know is tough enough to carry any load

They say you never know what you got until it's gone
He's gonna learn the hard way, when he finds you long gone
Gone like the wind in your hair, hands in the air
Singing, so long, good luck
Good luck

They say you never know what you got until it's gone
He's gonna learn the hard way, when he finds you long gone
Gone like the wind in your hair, hands in the air
Singing, so long, good luck
Girl, I wanna set your heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway
Heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway
Heart free, ride with me
I wanna be your getaway truck
I wanna be your getaway truck

"Going To Texas"

"Going To Texas"


Well... I been packed up some two weeks ago.

My truck's gased up and ready to roll.
Just might get a ticket or two,but that's alright.
Cause I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight.
Thinkin' bout her sends chills up my spine.

There's a feelin' I get when I cross the state line.
Her pickup truck will be next to mine.
Cause I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight.
Colorado's quite a sight
But I'd rather see my baby in those rugged mountain jeans.
Gettin cold at night,she can keep me warm
If you know what I mean [?] LoneStar shining bright.

Shines a little brighter,when she's with me.
So I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight.
Live a long life livin out on the road.

When the only friend of yours' is the radio.
But even he fades out every now and then.
Girl I made a mistake I ain't goin to make again.
The closer I get seems the faster I go.

The only thing between us now is New Mexico.
It's just a matter of time before I hold her tight.
Cause I'm going to Texas to see my baby tonight.
(Take it home boys)

[Repeat Chorus]

Going to Texas to see my baby tonight.

"Good Thing Going"

"Good Thing Going"


For the life of me will her memory keep on keepin' me awake?
This empty pillow by my head is proof you sleep in the bed that you make
Just like a fool I did nothin', nothin' short of helpin' her pack
Wish I could find a way, find the words to say
To bring my baby back

I've got a good thing goin', and she ain't slowin' down
A good thing goin', showin' no sign of turnin' around
If I could go back, somehow backtrack
I'd undo all I did wrong, but I've got a bad feelin' my good thing goin' is a good thing gone

Thought she'd at least call to say that she was ok
While she left me walkin' the floor
Maybe she was long gone long before she ever set foot out that door
I guess over time the love in her heart was overshadowed by her heartaches
She didn't scream or shout, she had it all mapped out, and she never even tapped the brakes

I've got a good thing goin', and she ain't slowin' down
A good thing goin', showin' no sign of turnin' around
If I could go back, somehow backtrack
I'd undo all I did wrong, but I've got a bad feelin' my good thing goin' is a good thing gone

There goes my life down that highway
All of my dreams slippin' further away from this broken home
I've gotta put the pieces all back together

I've got a good thing goin', and she ain't slowin' down
A good thing goin', showin' no signs of turnin' around
If I could go back, somehow backtrack
I'd undo all I did wrong, but I've got a bad feelin' my good thing goin' is a good thing gone

I've got a good thing goin'

"Haunted House"

"Haunted House"


Sometimes I hear a woman cryin
And a man sayin nothin at all
Often I hear children laughin
And footsteps walkin down the hall
There's a ghost for every memory
Always remindin me that I was wrong
And since her leavin
I've been sleepin
Leavin all of the lights on

[Chorus:]
What was once a happy home
Feels more like a haunted house
Haunted by the sounds of broken hearts
Rattlin off the chain of broken vows
It sends a chill through my bones
It's got me scared as a mouse
Now empty and alone
What was once a happy home
Feels more like a haunted house

There's no place to run and hide
I swear she's everywhere I go
In every room I, smell her perfume,
I know she's not here
But I'm not alone

[Chorus]

It sends a chill through my bones
It's got me scared as a mouse
Now empty and alone
What was once a happy home
Feels more like a haunted house

"Hearts Are Breaking Across Texas"

"Hearts Are Breaking Across Texas"


The words cannot express, the way you look in that white dress
I don't believe theres ever been such a beautiful sight.
All my dreams are coming true, that yellow rose ain't got nothing on you
Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight.

And tears will be falling everywhere, as your lettin down your hair
From cowboys wishin, that it was them holding you tight
Well thats the harsh reality, Id feel the same if you hadn't chose me
Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight
The lone star is shining bright above, and theres magic in the air
But looking deep into your eyes, I cant help but sympathize
For those who will never know, the kind of love we share

And tears will be falling everywhere, as your lettin down your hair
From cowboys wishin, that it was them holding you tight
Well thats the harsh reality, Id feel the same if you hadn't chose me
Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight
Yes Hearts are breaking across Texas

"Heaven Help The Heart"

"Heaven Help The Heart"


Like a killer at large
You strolled down Bourbon Street
Lookin' for an easy mark
With every man you meet
And I never saw the devil
Behind your rain blue eyes
Spellbound by your long legs and your little white lies

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

You're no Adalida, no pretty Cajun queen
Just a bad girl from Biloxi, more addicting than morphine
And when your love wears off
There's nothin' left but pain
And enough teardrops fall to flood Lake Ponchatrain

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

I can see you smilin' in some Creole cafe
Slippin' your love potion in someone's ettouffe

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

"Hey Y'all - My Contribution To Ruining Country Music Country Song! Ha!"

"Hey Y'all - My Contribution To Ruining Country Music Country Song! Ha!"


I say 'Hey y'all, look at me!'
I'm the name of the game and they call me Country.
'Cause I can rattle that buck, hook a big cat.
My girl is skinny but my rhymes are phat.
I'm a gun-totin' big mouth bass boatin'
and my granny likes a chew and chaw.
I've been saved from sin, can I get an 'amen'
and then can I get a 'Hey, y'all!'?

You know I got a jacked up pickup truck
with mud flaps and a 4-wheel drive.
I got it decked out like a Country pimp
I'll even let you twirl my fuzzy dice.
'Cause I'm a blue collar redneck
crazy white boy from the south
And if you see any folk got a problem with that
Sweet Potato Pie shut your mouth!

I say 'Hey y'all, look at me!'
I'm the name of the game and they call me Country.
'Cause I can rattle that buck, hook a big cat.
My girl is skinny but my rhymes are phat.
I'm a gun-totin' big mouth bass boatin'
and my granny likes a chew and chaw.
I've been saved from sin, can I get an 'amen'
and then can I get a 'Hey, y'all!'?

If you like Lynyrd Skynyrd on the radio
let me know and I'll sing you 'Free Bird'.
I like Johnny Cash Grand Master Flash
I'm name droppin' like you never heard.
I won't try it unless you fry it
put the Crisco in the pan.
I love fresh fried red hot hush puppies.
I got gravy running down my chin.

I say 'Hey y'all, look at me!'
I'm the name of the game and they call me Country.
'Cause I can rattle that buck, hook a big cat.
My girl is skinny but my rhymes are phat.
I'm a gun-totin' big mouth bass boatin'
and my granny likes a chew and chaw.
I've been saved from sin, can I get an 'amen'
and then can I get a 'Hey, y'all!'?

Now all these hot senoritas want to ride with me
I got 'em crawling up the side of my GMC.
Country Boys got my back,
Country Girls on my hook.
My 30-30 shined up and she lookin' good.
An' someone flyin' on my redneck roots,
knocking my gold belt buckle and my snake skin boots.
But I'm in it to win it so place your bets
and tell the whole world that I'm the Honky Tonk Kid.

I say 'Hey y'all, look at me!'
I'm the name of the game and they call me Country.
'Cause I can rattle that buck, hook a big cat.
My girl is skinny but my rhymes are phat.
I'm a gun-totin' big mouth bass boatin'
and my granny likes a chew and chaw.
I've been saved from sin, can I get an 'amen'
and then can I get a 'Hey, y'all!'?
