"Home Improvement"

"Home Improvement"


The walls that surround us are slowly crumblin' down
But the heart of this foundation is still on solid ground
Just need some renovation and a lot of TLC
And a long night of lovin' is all that we both need

[Chorus:]
So roll the shades down, lock the doors up tight, turn on the code-a-phone
If the door bell rings, we'll just stay in bed and pretend nobody's home
Let the neighbors think we moved away or forgot to pay the rent
There ain't nothing wrong with this old house, it just needs a little home improvement.

Every day we go our separate ways to make our dreams come true
But it ain't worth the sacrifice if we're giving up me and you
We gotta hold on tighter than tight to the ties that make us strong
And get back to the roots that made this house a home

[Chorus 2x]

"Home In San Antone"

"Home In San Antone"


Haven't got a worry
Haven't got a care
I haven't got a thing to call my own
Though I'm out of money
I'm a millionaire
I still have my home in San Antone
When I greet my neighbor with a "hi y'all"
I'm wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or your cottage small
I'll just take my home in San Antone

Traveling around the country
On my merry way
I've been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin'
I just up and say
I'm a native son of San Antone

There's a sweet somebody by the Alamo
Someday she's going to be my very own
And we'll buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in San Antone

"Honk If You Honky Tonk"

"Honk If You Honky Tonk"


Well, I got a bumper sticker on the back of my truck
There ain't another like it 'cause I had it made up
I can tell who's behind me, they give themselves away
Lay on their horn when they read this phrase

[Chorus:]
Honk if you honky tonk, don't if you don't
But if you do, don't you love to, honk if you honky tonk

Me and Friday night go hand in hand
Ice cold beer and a swingin' band
A girl on my arm that won't let go
She caught my little sign about a mile ago

[Chorus]

Well, just the other day I was cruisin' through town
Sheriff pulled me over, I thought I had it now
I rolled down my window, he said with a grin
"I want one of them stickers or I'm gonna run you in."

[Chorus 2x]

Honky if you honky tonk
I hear ya honkin', yeah
I'm pullin' over, let's honky tonk

"Honky Tonk Crazy"

"Honky Tonk Crazy"


There's a hundred dollar bill on the table
To get me through the night
Got a tight blue jean honky tonk queen
To hold me tight
And the cowboy bands in mission
Of Texas waltz
It's music to my ears and a need to hear
To keep me from climbing the wall

Cause tonight I'll be honky tonk crazy
Rip roaring wild, one more time
Tonight I'll be, honky tonk crazy
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind

Got all my friends around me
Telling the latest jokes
They can't see the joke's on me
I'm at the end of my rope
So I step out side and drink one
In the driving rain
That's all right if I'm high tonight
Cause she's already drove me insane.

Cause tonight I'll be honky tonk crazy
Rip roaring wild, one more time
Tonight I'll be, honky tonk crazy
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
Oh, Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind

"Honky Tonk Downstairs"

"Honky Tonk Downstairs"


Well, it won't be long now
Til that 'ol sun goes down
And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears.
My wife works all night long
For a man who's halfway gone
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

[Chorus:]
It's a shame she wears the name
Of a man who's locked and chained
To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares.
To the men with hungry eyes
She works and hides her pride
She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs.

[Chorus]

"Honky Tonk Saturday Night"

"Honky Tonk Saturday Night"


Angels and devils share the same tables
And that's not so wrong if you get it done right.
Halos and horns lock up on the dance floor
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

It's a Honkytonk Saturday Night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck she'll turn on
'fore they turn out the lights
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

I played the jukebox, I played some Merle Haggard,
Me and the waitress think he's outta' sight.
Then some folks got thirsty
While we were dancin'
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

It's a Honkytonk Saturday Night,
It's not who is who, it's who will or who might.
With luck I'll turn her on
'fore they turn out the lights
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

With luck I'll take her home
'fore they turn out the lights
On a Honkytonk Saturday Night.

"Honkytonkville"

"Honkytonkville"


Thought I'd go crazy when you said goodbye
I didn't have that far to go
But I made a wrong turn somewhere in the night
Down a long and lonely road

[Chorus:]
To Honkytonkville, an ideal
Home away from home sweet home
Honkytonkville where I don't feel
A thing since you've been gone
Where the future's always bright
In the glow of neon lights
Livin' high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville

There's friendly faces everywhere I turn
Droppin' quarters in the slot
Lord knows that we've all got memories to burn
And that's why that jukebox plays around the clock

[Chorus]

Livin' high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville

"Hot Burning Flames"

"Hot Burning Flames"


She left me almost burned out
I couldn't feel a thing
A walkin' talkin' statue
Afraid to love again
She did everything to kill a flame
But a little spark got through
She'd of got her way
I'd be gone today
If it hadn't been for you

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

She thought she had me down and out
But at the count of nine
A livin' lovin' angel
Showed up just in time
She thought that I would surely die
Sometimes I wanted to
She had no doubt
The fire was out
But she didn't count on you

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames
I'm alive with love because of you
When you came to light the fire
I knew just what to bring
You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

You turn cold gray ashes into
Hot burning flames

"Hot Grease And Zydeco"

"Hot Grease And Zydeco"


I hear the music big daddy's place
Smell that gumbo coming through that ole screen door
Fans a blowing, flys a buzzing, people jitter bugging on that hardwood floor
Worked my fingers down to the bone
make the money and spend it on

Hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly feed my hungry soul it's friday night let the good times roll
Hot grease and zydeco

My babys loving is deep fried
Golden brown legs and that long black hair
We start cooking when we kiss, no time at all lord she takes me there
head on the bayou they stirring it up, tastes so good I cant get enough

Hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly feed my hungry soul it's friday night let the good times roll
Hot grease
Hot grease and zydeco

hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly feed my hungry soul it's friday night let the good times roll
Hot grease and zydeco
Feed my belly feed my hungry soul Turn it up burn it up say sho

Hot grease
Hot grease and zydeco

"House Across The Bay"

"House Across The Bay"


Walkin' down this lonely stretch of beach
She and I, walked down a thousand times
I just can't force myself to give her up
Like all the things she left behind
Gone are the days when I'd wake up
With her warm body next to mine

It gets cold here in the wintertime
And my mind drifts away
To that house across the bay.
A long talk and a glass of wine
And we'd love the night away,
But that was yesterday
In that house across the bay.

Her laughter was contagious
Her walk, her talk, her smile lit up every room.
They say things happen for a reason,
But I can't find one good reason
Why she's gone so soon.
Life just seems to hang
On every thought and everything
We used to be.

It gets cold here in the wintertime
And my mind drifts away
To that house across the bay.
A long talk and a glass of wine
And we'd love the night away,
But that was yesterday
In that house across the bay.

There was sunshine everyday
And we'd love the night away
In that house across the bay.
