"Ballad Of Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh"

"Ballad Of Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh"


My daddy was an outlaw, mom died giving birth to me, they both let me all alone when I was on bended knee,
if you don't like my story I suggest you turn the page, I don't need no preachin' I ain't got no soul to save.

My name is Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh and this here is Tennessee Jack, don't you give us any lip now boy or today will be your last,
when the bank was dry we said good-bye and walked out to the street, when a cloud of bullets came a thundering down and took Tennessee to his knees.

I just stood there and watched him bleeding like a fool out in the rain, didn't have time to think when I jumped through the banks front window pane, grabbed the teller in a blink of an eye put a colt up to his head, said careful son don't try to run or tomorrow will be your last.

I've got to fly like an eagle, free like a bird on the wind,
hell fire and brimstone are coming down on me,
mister I was born of sin.

Sat down in the corner and rolled a little home grown, said if I'm gonna die today I sure as hell ain't goin' alone,
so I ran out the bank a shooting I was two for two at first, until I felt a painful sound as a bullet tore my shirt.

I've got to fly like an eagle, free like a bird on the wind,
hell fire and brimstone are coming down on me,
mister I was born of sin.

I crawled back to the alley way where I knew my horse was tied, and that's where all the legends say that Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh died,
but I was in a place so far from there in a time so long ago, in the arms of a pretty little senorita on the Gulf of Mexico.

I've got to fly like an eagle, free like a bird on the wind,
hell fire and brimstone are coming down on me,
mister I was born of sin.

"Barricades"

"Barricades"


Close my eyes and ask a question
Why is it I do what I do
Am I looking for some happy definition
Of life and love in the corners of truth
Or am I just some curious bystander
Looking at the world through a child's eyes
Sunlight always shining on my shoulders
While the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside

And it seems so hard to keep it all together
When the walls are falling down on every side
Yeah, but I'll be damned if I give up on it easy
I've worked too hard to get the barricades this high

Now this world's a stage we're meant to play on
Direction from inside on what to do
I know I should have all of the answers
Deep inside I haven't got a clue, not a clue

And it seems so hard to keep it all together
When the walls are falling down on every side
Yeah, but I'll be damned if I give up on it easy
I've worked too hard to get the barricades this high

Told myself that I would be okay
Told myself I'd be all right no doubt
Somewhere low I know that I've been lying
Can't believe it took me thirty years
To figure that shit out

And it seems so hard to keep it all together
When the walls are falling down on every side
Yeah, but I'll be damned if I give up on it easy
I've worked too hard to get the barricades this high

"Break It Back Down"

"Break It Back Down"


Traffic jamming, up and down the interstate
Middle finger flappin in the passin lane
News flash new trash breakin in my radio
Read back tweet that they know everywhere you are
Wrong move you too, getcha 'nother fallin star
Freeze frame, seize fame, post another video

[Chorus:]
Girl why don't we
Break it back down, to you an me baby
Get outa this town, find a place we can lay it on the ground
Shut the world out and break it back down
Nothing but the song of the whipperwill playing
Lets get lost in the love we're making
What we need now, yea baby is to break it back down

Who's hot, who's not, go pick up a magazine
Aw nah, to watch what they call realities
Static man is takin up to much of my brain
Pile up more stuff, bigger house a bigger yard
Half off, happiness all you needs a credit card
Hurry, worry, thats the way you play the game

[Chorus:]
Girl whatcha say
Break it back down, to you an me baby
Get outa this town, find a place we can lay it on the ground
Shut the world out and break it back down
Nothing but the song of the whipperwill playing
Lets get lost in the love we're making
What we need now, yea baby is to break it back down

Yea break it back down,
Wo ohh ohhhhh
Yea break it back down
Wo ohh ohhhhh

[Chorus:]
Girl whatcha say
Break it back down, to you an me baby
Get outa this town, find a place we can lay it on the ground
Shut the world out and break it back down
Nothing but the song of the whipperwill playing
Lets get lost in the love we're making
What we need now, yea baby is to break it back down

"California"

"California"


Hello, California
Sure is strange to be here today
What's a boy from down in Austin
Doing in a city of angels anyway

So won't you come on out here with me
Find out what you can and cannot see
Maybe gain a new perspective
Why we're so infected by our dreams

Yeah baby, I'll be out here dreaming
Thinking about the life we could have
You're back home in Texas
I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when is the next time I get to hold you
I just want to hold you

It's the sweetest kind of poison
Tickle you and take away your faith
Whiskey for a lifetime
Wreck your soul with the smallest little taste

Yeah baby, I'll be out here dreaming
Thinking about the life we could have
You're back home in Texas
I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when is the next time I get to hold you
I just want to hold you

I am just a guitar man who fell in love with you
Times are good or bad, I take them all the same
You could have some 9 to 5 man coming home to take your hand
You know he's never gonna do

Is this the life I've dreamed of
Or is this just the way it all went down
But damn right I sure am happy
A crazy piece of life I have found

Yeah baby, I'll be out here dreaming
Thinking about the life we could have
You're back home in Texas
I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when is the next time I get to hold you
I just want to hold you

"Can't Find My Way Home"
(with Cory Morrow)
(originally by Steve Winwood)



Come down off your throne and leave your body alone - somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long - somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone - somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years - somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

"Cannonball"

"Cannonball"


Girl you are, my kind of lover
I'm still amazed that we found one another
Cause I'm just a man, selfish and proud
You could have been gone, but you're standing here now
I know I don't say it enough
But I long for your body and I live for your touch
All the moments when its just you and me
Right where I know I should be

Cause you save me baby
From myself
Can I be saved?
Only time will tell
You're the difference
Between luck and love
Hit me when I wasn't looking at all
Love like a cannonball
Tear down the wall, love like a cannonball

Tonight, well I said what I said
I had too much to drink and went out of my head
And I'm sorry, and ill give up the fight
So lets lay down together and get through the night
Closer and closer, right by my side
Here in the dark where theres nothing to hide
Well spend a lifetime under these covers
Theres so much of you that I have yet to discover

Cause you save me baby
From myself
Can I be saved?
Only time will tell
You're the difference
Between luck and love
Hit me when I wasn't looking at all
Love like a cannonball
Tear down the wall, love like a cannonball

"Carry On"

"Carry On"


Baby's just a little bit tired of the city
Billboards and bullshit got her down
Seems like you need a little hill country
A little back roads drivin'
A little bit of the old top down

Everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for awhile
Seems to me that all you need
Is a rag top car and a ride with me
Okay, all right
Just might get a little high tonight
Okay, all right, carry on

Old Walt Wilkins lives up in Nashville
You know his eyes have seen the miles
Walt, why don't you jump in Jim T.'s Caddie
Come down to Texas and drink with me awhile

Everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for awhile
We'll go down to El Arroyo
Have some tacos and beer, yeah, let ourselves go
Okay, all right
Just might try to get a ride tonight
I'm okay, I'm all right, carry on

Life will make sure that you got your troubles
Life will make sure that you work too hard
There ain't nobody that don't get tired
Watching troubles pile up big in your own backyard
Sometimes you got to grab your world with your own two hands
Set it spinning off on a course all your own
Take yourself a big bag for your shoulder
Find yourself some good times and bring 'em on back home

Everybody gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for awhile
If you lay your whole life upon a shelf
Got no one to blame but your own damn self
Okay, all right
Heaven only knows what's going to happen tonight
I'm okay, I'm all right, I'm okay, I'm all right
I'm okay, I'm all right, I'm okay, I'm all right, oh carry on

"College"

"College"


We were just young kids with a six pack
That a bad fake ID bought.
Sittin' on the living room couch
hopin that we didn't get caught
And when we did, my dad
had some good advice for me
He said Son, there's a time and place
for just about everything
it's called College

Next thing I know I'm packing up
and headin on out of here.
a backseat full of clothes,
and my old cavalier
And there's empty pizza boxes
stacked all around the room
Couple of beers on a Tuesday
and one in the afternoon
hey, college

Those were the best days of my life
I found my friends, myself, and my wife.
learned almost everything that I know
without ever gaining knowledge
in college....yeah college

I had such a good time those four years
that I stretched them into six.
And I'd like to thank ole George's Bar
for the the classes that I missed
I was searching for the meaning of life
When i saw her walk my way.
There was not doubt in my my mind
That it wasn't about a GPA

Those were the best days of my life
I found my friends, myself, and my wife.
learned almost everything that I know
without ever gaining knowledge
in college....yeah college.

Those were the best days of my life
I found my, myself, my friends and my wife.
learned almost everything that I know
Might have gained a little knowledge

in college....yeah college

"Count Your Blessings"

"Count Your Blessings"


Mama always said stand up to the truth
There ain't no such thing as the fountain of youth
Two wrongs never made it right
Grass ain't always greener on the other side
Better save your money for a rainy day
Count your blessings come as they may

Only Will Rogers never met a man he didn't like
Always throw the first punch when it comes to a fight
It ain't over till it's over and the fat lady sings
Only quitters and losers throw the towel in the ring
Well, I hope you ain't working on a rainy day
Count your blessings come as they may

It's a hush my mouth land sakes alive
I don't believe that fisherman smell the same when they die
Never put the cart before the horse
Unless he knows how to push it of course
Seems like I'm always dreamin on a rainy day
Count your blessings come as they may

And it was grandpa who said son you can't buy love
You can jump in with both feet, but don't jump the gun
Stay out of trouble count your lucky stars
Never get drunk in two states inside the same bar
Seems like I'm always drinking on a rainy day
Count your blessings come as they may

Grandma who said silence is golden
You only answer to one he's the almighty beholder
Bird in the hand is better than two in the nest
Don't you count your chickens before they hatch
Always save the loving for a rainy day
Count your blessings come as they may

It's a hush my mouth land sakes alive
I don't believe that fisherman smell the same when they die
Never put the cart before the horse
Unless he knows how to push it of course
Seems like I'm dancehall dreaming on my rainy days
Count your blessings come as they may

Talk being cheap well I took their advice
And the older I get the more I know they were right
Works for me may not work for you
Everything I said was the goddang truth
Well, I hope you ain't lonely on a rainy day
Count your blessings come as they may

And they're etched in my mind I can never forget 'em
See it ain't what you said its just how you said it

"Country Star"

"Country Star"


Well I sure am tired of these coffee house gigs
Cause there ain't no money and there ain't no chicks

Cause I wanna see my name up in neon lights drink pink champagne and party every night
All them lucky muthers up there livin the life man I gotta get my ass to Nashville

Cause

I wanna be a country star
and take it all way to far

not to have my own airplane
I wanna go up in flames me and my guitar
Man I wanna be a country star

Well I got a drinkin problem so I'll fit right in
Gonna sing me some hits and get some famous friends
I'll be ridin shotgun with Kenny, Faith, and Tim
And I wonder how they lived without me

I'll get "Big & Rich" rich and build a big ol' house
With a big ol' fence to keep the rif raf out
Call my old girlfriends say "how ya like me now"
C'mon baby tell me what ya love about me

I'm gonna be a country star
and take it all way to far
breakin all the young girls hearts
just like Keith Urban

Man I'm thinkin that sure sounds fun
Rockin out with Brooks and Dunn
All the way to number 1
Me and my guitar
Man I wanna be a country star

Playin golf with Vince and Willie
Hangin out with Carrie underneath those big spotlights

YEAH YEAH

YEAH YEAH

I'm wanna be a country star
take it all way to far
breakin all the young girls hearts

Rockin out with Brooks and Dunn
All the way to number 1
Me and my guitar
Man I wanna be a country star

Country Star
