"Bluebird"

"Bluebird"



I'm lost in the night
The icy wind is howling out your name
And desolation wanes
Like a fog
The fires rolling in
In the wind

I'm out in the rain
The moon is gone behind the clouds again
And I can't stand to live
Another day
Cause my bluebird went away

And I'm locked in this room
With my song
No escape
No way to get away

And my only connection
with tomorrow
Is hopin' that you might decide not to stay away

Well I'm out on a limb
If I could only find sweet love again
To live my life this way is too much to bear
Can't find my bluebird anywhere

I'm out in the rain
The moon is gone behind the clouds again
And I can't stand to live another day
Bluebird why'd you go away?
Bluebird why'd you go away?

"Bring On The Night"

"Bring On The Night"



It's twilight
And the street lights, are comin on
I'm in a stream of cars, on this boulevard
Headed home
And I can hardly wait
For you to make what wrong today seem right
It's been a long hard day
So bring on the night

Bring on the night
And pull down the shades
Lock the world outside
And throw the key away
And turn on the feelings
And turn out the lights
Lets call it a day
And bring on the night

From 9 to 5
It's the same old grind, all week long
And the only thing
That keeps me sane, is comin home
When the sun goes down
You know how to set things right
Let's put the day behind us
And bring on the night

Bring on the night
And pull down the shades
Lock the world outside
And throw the key away
And turn on the feelings
And turn out the lights
Lets call it a day
And bring on the night

Lets call it a day
And bring on the night

"Buicks To The Moon"

"Buicks To The Moon"



How long will I love you
I don't really know
I'd like to think forever
Is how far we could go
So let me paint a picture
Of how it's gonna be
The day you don't mean everything to me

When a nickel's worth a dollar
And gold ain't worth a dime
When they build a ship on waters that will take you back in time
When the stars have all been counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be driving Buicks to the moon

Now you don't have to worry
About what comes to pass
This old world may wear out
But my love's gonna last
If they ever build that highway to the moon
I'll just find something else to promise you

When a nickel's worth a dollar
And gold ain't worth a dime
When they build a ship on waters that will take you back in time
When the stars have all been counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be driving Buicks to the moon

Oh when the stars have all be counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be drivin' Buicks to the moon

"Burnin' The Honky Tonks Down"

"Burnin' The Honky Tonks Down"



She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Burnin' the honky tonks down
Smoke's been rising all over town
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She caught me runnin' around
She was dancin' in the ashes
When they caught her with them matches
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

Well she's burnin' the honky tonks down
I tried but I could not put them out
Did the best to save the whiskey
But the flame's just too risky
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She couldn't stop that honky tonk sound
It was sizzlin' like a griddle
When I ran out with my fiddle
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She's down in the jailhouse now
Said she felt no remorse
For breakin' out that torch

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Burnin' the honky tonks down
Smoke's been a rising all over town
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

"Chasin' That Neon Rainbow"

"Chasin' That Neon Rainbow"


Daddy won a radio
He tuned it to a country show
I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar
Mama used to sing to me
She taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries cause she never thought
I'd really ever take it this far
Singin' in the bars

[CHORUS:]
And chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
Cause all I've ever wanted
Is to pick this guitar and sing
It's time to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and sing
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream

And it was at a coffee cup
Five pickers and an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston for a show on Saturday night
This overhead is killing me
Half the time I sing for free
When the crowd's into it, lord,
It makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standing in the spotlight

[CHORUS]

Now daddy's got a radio
He won it thirty years ago
He said; son I just know
We're gonna hear you singin' on it some day
I made it up to music row
Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute
I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage

[CHORUS]

"Chattahoochee"

"Chattahoochee"



Well, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught.

Down by the river on a Friday night
Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute.

Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love.

Ya ha

Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy
I was willin' but she wasn't ready
So I settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone
I dropped her off early but I didn't go home.

Down by the river on a Friday night
Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute.

Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love.

Ya he

That's right...

"Country Boy"

"Country Boy"


Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walk in
I turned around, I'm not a stalker
Where you going? Maybe I can help you
My tank is full, and I'd be obliged to take you

[Chorus:]
I'm a country boy, I've got a 4-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I'll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
'cause I'm a country boy

You sure look good, sittin' in my right seat
Buckle up, I'll take you through the five speeds
Wind it up, or I can slow it way down
In the woods or right uptown

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Big 35's whinin' on the asphalt
Grabbin' mud, and slingin' up some red dirt
'cause I'm a country boy

My muffler's loud, dual Thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
Let me know when we're gettin' close
You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road

[Chorus]

[2nd Bridge:]
Bucket seats, soft as baby's new butt
Lockin' hubs, that'll take you through a deep rut

[Chorus x2]

"Dallas"

"Dallas"



Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
She made leaving me look easy
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
I took her out of Texas
When she was just a girl
But old Tennessee and me
Couldn't take Texas out of her

On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
Then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee

By now she's leaving Memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground

Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
Then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee
Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee

Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

"Dancin' All Around It"

"Dancin' All Around It"



She said, I don't usually dance this close to strangers
You know a girl can't be too careful with her heart
But I saw you and thought that you looked harmless
But when you smile that way I'm not so sure you are

I said, I don't usually come here for the dancin'
You can tell that by the way I move
When I saw you I thought that it was hopeless
But I just had to ask you for a dance or two

Somewhere in the stars it must be written
Girl, we've got to take this chance that we've been given
If there's a heaven here on earth I think we've found it
If this ain't love we're dancin' all around it

The music stopped and we're still holding each other
This feels like the beginning of forever
Somewhere in the stars it must be written
Girl we've got to take this chance that we've been given
If there's a heaven here on earth I think we've found it
If this ain't love we're dancin' all around it
If this ain't love we're dancin' all around it

She said I don't usually dance this close to strangers...

"Designated Drinker"

"Designated Drinker"



Here's my keys
I want you to take them
I think I'm gonna need you, to get back home
Hold on to my hat, I dont want to loose it
I couldnt stand for something else to be gone
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here cryin
I think you'll understand why

Tonight
I'm the designated drinker
I just lost
The one who wrapped me 'round her finger
I need to get
To where I can't think of her
So, tonight
I'm the designated drinker

I came here, to get you to help me
I need a friend, to see me through
I hated to call, I knew you wouldn't mind at all
I know you know
I 'd do the same for you
I'm not the kind that likes to drown my sorrows
I may hate myself tomorrow

But Tonight
I'm the designated drinker
I just lost
The one who wrapped me 'round her finger
I need to get
To where I can't think of her
So, tonight
I'm the designated drinker

We need to get
To where we can't think of her
So, tonight
We're the designated drinkers

Woah tonight
We're the designated drinkers
