"Lucky Ones"

"Lucky Ones"


Day after day
The search goes on
No ones explained
That grevings so strong
Love runs so deep
Down in your soul
It hit me so high
All that I know

Cause baby the lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
For a moment or two
Get to fall in love with somebody like you
Get to fall in love with somebody like you

They say use your head
Don't lose control
To hell with that pride
I swallowed it hole
There's nothing but love
No one but you
Can make such a hero
Of such a fool

Cause baby the lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
For a moment or two
Get to fall in love with somebody like you
Get to fall in love with somebody like you

Baby the lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
For a moment or two
Get to fall in love with somebody like you
The lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
Baby the lucky ones
For a moment or two
Get to fall in love with somebody like you
Get to fall in love with somebody like you

"Me And Billy The Kid"

"Me And Billy The Kid"


Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we never got along

Didn't like the way he cocked his hat, and he wore his gun all wrong.
We had the same girlfriend, and he never forgot it,
She had a cut little Chihuahua, that one day he over shot it.
He rode the hard country, down the New Mexico line,
He had a silver pocked watch, that he never did wind
He crippled a guitar player for playing his favorite song
Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we ain't ever got along.

Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we never got along,
Didn't like the way he buckled his belt, and he wore his gun all wrong
He was bad to the bone, all hopped up on speed,
I would have left him alone, if it weren't for that senorita.
But he gave her silver, and he paid her hotel bills,
But it was me that she loved, she said she always will.
I'd go and see her whenever Billy was gone,

Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we ain't never got along, NO!
Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we never got along.
Didn't like the way he tied his shoes, and he wore his gun all wrong.
One day I told Billy, said "I've got the fooled proof scheme,
We'll rob the Wells Fargo; she's bustin' at the seems."
I knew that I had framed him, but I don't feel bad,
The way that I was living, was driving me mad.
Billy went for his gun, but his gun was all wrong,
Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we ain't never got along.
Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we never got along,
But I sure liked the way he swayed in the wind when I played his favorite songs.
Now my girlfriend sings harmony to "La Cucaracha",
We sit and wind that pocket watch, and we pet her little Chihuahua.
Move into the hotel, I got a room with a shower,
I like listening to that watch tick hour after hour.
And outside the wind, well it's blowing on so strong,
Yeah Me and Billy the Kid, we ain't never got along, NO!

"Missing Me"

"Missing Me"


I wish I could hold you back
I know I can't help you pack
Cuz it's all that I can do
To pretend I'm not watching you

Go find yourself somewhere else
Chase some dreams on the streets of LA
Don't let this town tie you down
When a bigger life's calling your name
You'll find who you are
If you follow your heart
With it wherever it leads
But get on back fast
When find yourself missing me

I wish I could tag along
This town is where I belong
Take this old ring of mine
Maybe I'll get it back some time

Go find yourself somewhere else
Chase some dreams on the streets of LA
Don't let this town tie you down
When a bigger life's calling your name
You'll find who you are
If you follow your heart
With it wherever it leads
Get on back fast
If you find yourself missing me

Oh, missing me

Go find yourself somewhere else
Hope you keep me in some of your dreams
I won't let you down. I'll be here
If it turns out that I'm what you need
You'll find who you are
If you follow your heart
With it wherever it leads
Get on back fast
When you find yourself missing me

Oh, missing me

"My Little Heaven"

"My Little Heaven"


Can you help me out with something
Cause I feel a little sad inside
Did you turn me on for nothing
Are you sad or satisfied
It was long before today
That I felt you were slipping away

And you can't change anything
You can't change anyone
You can't do nothing about the way I feel
You can lay into me
It wont change anything about the way I feel
About my little heaven
My little heaven

Can I pay you some attention
Tell me would it be ok
I'm a little impertioned
And your picture perfectly
And I don't think I could take it
If I thought you were trying to fake it

And you can't change anything
You can't change anyone
You can't do nothing about the way I feel
You can lay into me
It wont change anything about the way I feel
About my little heaven
My little heaven

If you want me baby I'll be there
Take me away

And you can't change anything
You can't change anyone
You can't do nothing about the way I feel
You can lay into me
It wont change anything about the way I feel
About my little heaven
My little heaven

My little heaven

"My Texas"

"My Texas"


If you haven't climbed up to Enchanted Rock,
Drank a cold Shiner down in Luckenbach,
Taken your baby to the River Walk,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

If you haven't floated down the 'Ol Frio,
Heard Red Dirt music on your radio,
Eaten Cooper's down in Llano,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

You haven't been to the Houston rodeo,
Sang "Carry On" at a Pat Green show,
If you ain't seen an Abilene sunset,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

If you never caught a trout down in Port A,
Heard the words to Corpus Christi Bay,
Never seen fireworks on PK,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

Haven't had a kolache when you go through West,
Never heard of the Larry Jo Taylor fest,
Think polished pop country crap sounds the best,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

You haven't been to the Ft. Worth stock show,
Sang along with Cory Morrow,
You ain't seen a hill country sunset,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

You say you haven't hiked through Big Bend,
Had your hair blown back by a Lubbock wind,
Been somewhere where they call you "friend",
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

You haven't been to the San Antone
Rodeo, sang "Everclear" at a Creager show,
If you ain't seen an El Paso sunset,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.

No, you ain't met My Texas yet!

"Nightmare"

"Nightmare"


Last night I had me a nightmare.
Dreamed that Texas was burning down.
And all those people, I'd grown up to love
Were leavin' town.

So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the Red, Red sea.
Bring back Towns Van Zandt and my heroes back to me.
'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do.
Ain't the way they do.
I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.

Buddy Holly, was riding on the wind.
Stevie Ray, he was too.
But when there star comes tumblin' to the ground.
Not a thing all the king's horses, and all the king's men could do.
Me, I just got my ol' barstool.
And man it's burning me down. (burnin' me down)
Just like a brushfire, that burns all through the night.
One of these days I'm gonna, one of these days I'm gonna burn on out.

So I cried oh-whoa Moses, bring a flood from the Red, Red sea.
Bring back Towns Van Zandt and my heroes back to me.
'Cause I can play these songs but it ain't the way they do.
Ain't the way they do.
I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, it was a Nightmare.

I had a Nightmare, a Nightmare, oooo-ooh.

"One For The Road"

"One For The Road"


Tree blows against my window
There's a storm brewin' in my heart
Watchin' credits roll on a late night TV show
Lonely street light peekin'
Through the cracks in the window shade
After all that he's seen I wonder if he truly knows

Did he watch her when she slammed the door
Like a hammer against a nail
Leavin' me in what's become
A lonely prison cell

I thought always meant forever
Guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar
Like an old man drinkin' down at the tavern
I was one for the road so your headed on back home

I met you at a party seems like only yesterday
We were fallin' in love and livin' to chase our dreams
I gave you flowers on Valentines
And I had a strong feelin' deep and down inside
That someday we'd make a home and a family

I'd say I'm sorry in a heartbeat
If you would only let me
I could learn to forgive if you would only forget
A hotel room down in Austin
After another one night show
I caught your silhouette creepin' down the street
Under a moonlight glow

And as you took my hand
So went all my pain
We stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train

And I guess always means forever
And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar
Like an old man drinkin' down at the tavern
I was one for the road now we're headed on back home

"One Thing"

"One Thing"


I used to be so down and out
I used to be so blue
Now the only thing I talk about
And the only thing I do
Is stand around like a school kid
Just off the merry-go-round
And if I'm dizzy it's because I'm headed
To the one good thing I'd found

Yeah one thing is good as gold
I'm nothing without you too hold
Yeah the one thing I know in this world
Is that I need you to be my girl

I got so good at hiding
I couldn't find myself
Yeah but girl you got me smiling
Feeling like somebody else
I guess you changed my makeup
I ain't the same sad clown
Yeah ever since you showed up
This ain't the same sad town

Yeah one thing is good as gold
I'm nothing without you too hold
Yeah the one thing I know in this world
Is that I need you to be my girl
[x2]

you're the one thing
you're the one thing
you're the one thing

"Over And Over"

"Over And Over"


I feel like getting out of here
I feel like giving up
I give my best and you punch and you kick me
Then you tell me that I ain't enough
Everybody know what's gonna happen
Everybody know what's in store
I give you everything that you ask me
Now I just can't give it anymore

Over and over and over and over
What kind a spell have you got me in
Over and over and over and over
What kind a spell have you got me in
Under the gun
Out of my mind
I lost my brain
And that's just fine
I'm just a fool
No it ain't cool
But I am still in love with you

I don't know why I'm getting so angry
I just know that I'm getting bored
After all the crap that's happened
I hear my heart break & it's knocking at the door

Over and over and over and over
What kind a spell have you got me in
Over and over and over and over
What kind a spell have you got me in
Under the gun
Out of my mind
I lost my brain
And that's just fine
I'm just a fool
No it ain't cool
But I am still in love with you

Open your eyes
Hey lighten up
You look like nails
But you ain't that tough
You got what you want
Cuz I'm still here
No I ain't going anywhere

Under the gun
Out of my mind
I lost my brain
And that's just fine
I'm just a fool
No it ain't cool
But I am still in love with you

Over and over and over and over
What kind a spell have you got me under
Over and over and over and over
What kind a spell have you got me

"Paradise"
(with Cory Morrow)
(originally by John Prine)

"Paradise"
(with Cory Morrow)
(originally by John Prine)



When I was a child, my family would travel
To western Kentucky, where my parents were born
And there's a backward old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn

[Chorus:]
And daddy won't you take me back to Mulenberg county
Down by the Green River, where Paradise lay
Well I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in askin'
Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Well sometimes we'd float right down the Green River
To an abandoned old prison down by Atry Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

[Chorus]

Then the coal company came, with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

[Chorus]

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am

[Chorus]
