"San Angelo"

"San Angelo"


We'd walk up and down the Concho River
We'd find a soft place to watch the sun go down
So was it me or was it what I could not give you
She left me shattered, my life scattered all around

[Chorus:]
She said time would heal my broken heart
and I'd find a true companion for my soul
You know she was right, we were wrong
Nothing more than a pretty song
About a boy who loved a girl
In San Angelo

[Repeat Intro]

When I'd close my eyes, I could hear her singing
In the chapel where she said we'd wed someday
It rattled me so to hear them old church bells ringing
Knowing well enough we'd never love that way

[Repeat Chorus]

Looking back it was a blessing she broke my heart in two
But if I had never lost her, baby I'd have never found you

[Repeat Chorus]

About a boy who once loved a girl in San Angelo

"Show Her That You Love Her"

"Show Her That You Love Her"


Sometimes she'll laugh
And sometimes she will cry
Sometimes she'll get mad at you
And leave you wonderin why
A woman's mind is a mystery
That no man can uncover
So don't waste your time trying to figure her out
Show her you love her

What she wants
And what she needs
May be two different things
And the words you hear so clear
Aren't always what they mean
She may say that she's cold at night
Just to have you hold her
So don't waste your time trying to figure her out
Show her you love her

The ocean doesn't ask why
The moon pulls the tide
So don't question the feelings she feels inside
If you had all of the answers
Tell me what would it matter
So don't waste your time trying to figure her out show her you love her
If she smiles and says she loves you as the tears roll from her eyes
Then you've found a treasure
That only true love can find
A woman's heart has parts that will never be discovered
So don't waste your time trying to figure her out
Show her you love her

The ocean doesn't ask why the moon pulls the tide
So don't question the feelings she feels inside
If you had all of the answers
Tell me what would it matter
So don't waste your time trying to figure her out
Show her you love her

If you had all of the answers
Tell me what would it matter
So don't waste your time trying to figure her out
Just show her you love her

"Shut Up And Dance"

"Shut Up And Dance"


We both work hard for money already spent
Blaming each other for where it all went
Never thinking of love only paying the loans
Griping bout' bills and keeping up with the Jones
Just once let's forget about making ends meet
Or whose got the nicest yard on the street
Darlin' let loose, let your hair down
We're staying at home for a night on the town

So turn the music up, and dim the lights down
Let those old records keep spinning around
Replace all our worries with some romance
Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance

When you're in my arms it makes me feel
Like I own a mansion on top of the hil
But it's not how big's the house it's how happy's the home
How poor is a rich man who lives all alone

So turn the music up, and dim the lights down
Let those old records keep spinning around
Replace all our worries with some romance
Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance

So turn the music up, and dim the lights down
Let those old records keep spinning around
Replace all our worries with some romance
Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance

"Silver Wings"
(originally by Merle Haggard)



Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
They're taking you away, leaving me lonely,
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Don't leave me I cry, don't take that airplane ride.
But you locked me out of your mind.
Left me standing here behind.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
They're taking you away, leaving me lonely.
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight,
They're taking you away. Leaving me lonely.
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Slowly fading out of sight.

"Some Never Will"

"Some Never Will"



With the world in the palm of his hands
Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand
He don't know his hourglass is losing time
Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind

Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
Before they understand the way they feel
Some lovers are slower than others
Some will come around and some never will

If only she had a dime every time he's done her wrong
Or for every one wondering why she's still holding on
She could buy that rodeo and shut it down
Along with every honky tonkin' bar in town

Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
Before they understand the way they feel
Some lovers are slower than others
Some will come around and some never will

It may be his fault but she's still one to blame
For taking him back and playing his foolish games

Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
Before they understand the way they feel
Some lovers are slower than others
Some will come around and some never will

"Something With A Swing To It"

"Something With A Swing To It"


Well I was thumbing through the channels
And I saw a sight to see
A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV
And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing
Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king
Ah - ha

From the Houston rodeo to any old dancehall
Of cowgirls and cowboys know how to have a ball
And every night they'll tip a toast to the Lone Star state
Where the women are so fine and the music is so great
Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger
I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer
Don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it

Aw yeah...

All together now....

It's a Texas thing, Y'all
So if you don't understand just drop what you're doing
Drive here as quick as you can
I'd even stop in Oklahoma if it was up to me
Cause when it comes to country, there ain't none like
I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger
I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer
Don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it

That hip-hoppin' rappin' boy band crap is for the squirrels in San Francisco
And Nashville is making music that sounds like a dadgum disco
Don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it
Yes, I said don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it
That's right...

"Songs About Saturday Night"

"Songs About Saturday Night"


They say he came out singing the moment he was born
And he could pick that old flat top guitar like a farmer pickin' corn
And he'd sneak in those old honky tonks until they'd kick him out
And his daddy wonder how he learned all the stuff he sang about

[CHORUS:]
He sang songs about dogs, songs about drinking
Songs about mamas and trains
Songs about heart broke country boys
Standin' out in the rain
Songs about dancehall beauty queens worth getting into a fight
Songs about nothing better to do, songs about Saturday night

When he turned eighteen he went off to the war
His sweetheart wrote him letters she said she'd wait for sure
By the time he came back home she was nowhere to be found
So he packed his bags hit them honky tonks from town to town

[CHORUS]

Well everywhere he went, everybody knew his name
But he never got the big hit, he stayed just the same
And he moved back to the country when it was time to call it quits
Now if you want to hear his music, you have to buy his greatest hits

"Sonshine"

"Sonshine"


When wilted and whithered
And dyin' of thirst
In need of forgiveness
When you're at your worst
Let the rain fall upon you
Like sweet mornin' dew
Wash away all your sorrows
And let the Son shine on you

Let the Son shine from heaven
Through the clouds in the sky
Come receive your salvation
From His sacrifice
And when you're down and discouraged
And your heart's torn in two
You turn your face to the Father
And let His Son shine on you

I've been there before
And I know your pain
Surrounded by darkness
All alone and ashamed
While you're out on life's highway
The wrong turn can leave you lost
So when you come to the crossroad
Take the road to the cross

Let the Son shine from heaven
Through the clouds in the sky
Come receive your salvation
From His sacrifice
And when you're down and discouraged
And your heart's torn in two
Turn your face to the Father
And let His Son shine on you

And when you're down and discouraged
And your heart's torn in two
You turn your face to the Father
And let His Son shine on you

Turn your face to the Father
And let His Son shine on you

"Strong Arm Of The Law"

"Strong Arm Of The Law"


His mother begged him to be a cattleman
But he chose to wear the star his daddy wore
God blessed him with a sharp eye and a quick hand
Quicker than the man who shot his daddy to the floor
Still she prayed and she pleaded
But ranch work lacked the vengeance he needed
He was cursed on his daddy's dying day
When a shot to the back laid him in six feet in a grave

[Chorus:]
And he wears a star on his vest
The only thing between a bullet and the heart in his chest
He'll be a ranger till he takes his last draw
He was born with the strong arm of the law

He wore a colt 45 on his hip
One notch short on the ivory grip
Searching for the outlaw that broke his momma's heart
Riding through the badlands from daylight to dark

In a dirty back water border town
Where the outlaw thought he could not be found
He looked like he'd seen a ghost when he saw the ranger's face
A legacy to the lawman he sent to his resting-place

[Chorus]

The outlaw had no place to run
So he turned to the trigger on his gun
As the smoke cleared blood stained the dusty street
The outlaw lay dying at the ranger's feet

He sat in the saddle and shook his head
His gun still hot and his father still dead
As the sun set on the day he'd waited so long for
He saw justice belongs to the law but vengeance is the lord's

"Stuck Between A Rock And A Heartache"

"Stuck Between A Rock And A Heartache"


He calls from a hotel in downtown Dallas
Says he won't be home for three more days
She gets so lonely in her Houston hill top palace
Talking to her self as their two-year-old plays
She rocks the baby to sleep then gets in bed
Reads romance novels of a love she once had
She closes her eyes and dreams about the man
Who gave her more than money and a call now and then

[Chorus:]
As the shine on her diamond starts to fade
She recalls the promises they made
But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks
She's stuck between a rock and a heartache

She tries to keep busy with her everyday routines
Soap operas in the afternoons, after she cleans
As she wipes off a picture frame from their wedding day
She wonders if he asked her again what would she say

[Chorus]

She feels like she's stranded somewhere in no man's land
Cause her life is like a prisoner's chained to a wedding band

[Chorus]
