The other night I ran into my girlfriend
Sittin' at the table with another man gettin' stoned
And I'm sleeping all by myself down in Corpus
I think I'll buy myself a bottle so I can drink my ass back home

Alright, alright
Go on and live your life tonight
I'm fine man I'm doin' alright
Never needed you to be a part of my life
When you're sittin' there all alone
Why don't you do yourself a favor
And leave me the hell alone
Alright

Well I've got a handful of empty pockets
You know I've got a bucketful of broken dreams
You ever been on the wrong side of love's highway
Well let me tell ya somethin' brother
Yeah you know just what I mean

Alright, alright
Go on and live your life tonight
I'm fine man I'm doin' alright
Never needed you to be a part of my life
When you're sittin' there all alone
Why don't you do yourself a favor
And leave me the hell alone
Alright

The other night I ran into my girlfriend

It's a lonely way back home

Alright, alright
Go on and live your life tonight

"1-900 Lover"

"1-900 Lover"


Baby I'm doing fine since you left me,
and my friends seem to think I have a lot more time, but as far as I'm concerned,
all the money that I earn is going to this 1-900 line.
She said I was the greatest lover she'd ever heard,
she said that I had too much love for you,
and for a small five dollar cover she'd be my long distance lover,
and so long as I pay she'll never say we're through.

Cause I'm a 1-900 user and a telephone abuser,
but I've got an 800 dollar credit line,
yeah and I've got you to thank dear that the money in the bank here,
is going to that little girl out in Caroline.

She said that her phone name was Madonna, and she said she was just like a virgin, too,
I said I don't care about your old virginity just boost my masculinity, and tell me that your love is ever true.

Cause I'm a 1-900 user and a telephone abuser,
but I've got an 800 dollar credit line,
yeah and I've got you to thank dear that the money in the bank here,
is going to that little girl out in Caroline.

Baby I'm doing fine since you left me, and I'm glad that you just up and let me be,
yeah and you can tell your mother, that I done found another, and I wouldn't call even if you were toll free.

Cause I'm a 1-900 user and a telephone abuser,
but I've got an 800 dollar credit line,
yeah and I've got you to thank dear that the money in the bank here,
is going to that little girl out in Caroline.

"Adios Days"
(with Cory Morrow)



[Pat Green:]
Adios days on the wide open prairie
Nights in the canyon are gone
Steven is dead, Johnny got married
and me I'm here all on my own
I'm all on my own

Used to have nights on the town of Laredo
Spinning them girls 'cross the floor
Now I'm too old for dancing
Too far gone for the whiskey
so I don't go down there no more

[Both:]
Now it's adios days on the wide open prairie
Nights in the canyon are gone
Steven is dead, Johnny got married
and me I'm here all on my own

[Cory Morrow:]
My dad was a top hand
When he was a young man
He road for the Diamond Bar J
He'd push all day long
From the back of his pony
At night time he'd gather the strays

[Pat Green:]
He hated the cities
Cussed all the railroads
Said they would lead us to fall
Now we have street cars
Cowboys dying
Guess he weren't too far from wrong

[Both:]
Now it's adios days on the wide open prairie
Nights in the canyon are gone
Steven is dead, Johnny got married
and me I'm here all on my own

"Ain't Leavin' Your Love"

"Ain't Leavin' Your Love"


Mister Gator he's a-glidin' down the bayou
Mister Buzzard he's a-slidin' through the air
Mister Turtle be a-hittin' the highway
I ain't goin' nowhere

I ain't leavin you love, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe

The rich man's got him an airplane
Tried to cruise across the traffic jam
The poor man's got him a Chevrolet
But I'm stayin' right where I am

I ain't leavin you love, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe

Now Hannibal he climbed the mountains
Cleopatra danced down the Nile
Lucky Lindy made it all the way to gay Paris
I'm stayin right here awhile

I ain't leavin you love, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe

Mister Gator he's a-glidin' down the bayou
Mister Buzzard he's a-slidin' through the air
Mister Turtle be a-hittin' the highway
I ain't goin' nowhere

I ain't leavin you love, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe

I ain't leavin you love, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leavin you love, babe

I ain't leavin you love

"All Just To Get To You"

"All Just To Get To You"


I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you

I have jumped a yellow cab
Hopped a rusty freight
Sang till my lips turned blue
Flown a silver bird
On the tops of the clouds
All just to get to you

Now, I ran too hard
I played too rough
I gave my love
Not near enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you

I have run from St. Paul
To Wichita Falls
Called you from sunny Baton Rouge
I hocked everything
From my watch to my ring
All just to get to you

I ran too hard
and I played too Rough
I gave my love
Not near enough
I bled too red
I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you

From the California Shore
Where the mighty ocean roars
To the lands of the Hopi and the Sioux
I walked the desert sands
Crossed the Rio Grande
All just to get to you

I have stumbled on the plains
Staggered in the wind
Stood at a crossroad or two
Cried to a river
Swept to the sea
All just to get to you

I ran too hard
and I played too Rough
I gave my love
Not near enough
I bled too red
and I cried too blue
I beat my fist
Against the moon
All just to get to you

All just to get to you
All just to get to you

"All The Good Things Fade Away"

"All The Good Things Fade Away"


Born lucky I guess
Didn't hurt that I was in the right place, the right time too
And the girl she was dandelion beautiful
Damn, she was beautiful
When the wind blows her like a bird
And the petals on the flower fly away
Sometimes it don't matter what you say

All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away

I found me a game out towards Shreveport
Couple of days just hiding from the sun
Good with the cards and good with the dice
You could say I had a lucky little run
Won it all and maybe just a little bit more today
All the luck you have is just the bills you left unpaid

All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away

Sure seems shitty to me there has to be such a thing as the good old days
Someday, somewhere, my hair like my memories will all just fade out to gray
Got it all right now and I just as soon keep it that way

All the good things fade away
All the good things fade away

"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"

"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"
(with Cory Morrow)
(originally by Waylon Jennings)



It's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
We've been the same way for years
We need to change

Somebody told me when I got to Nashville
Son you finally got it made
Old Hank made it here, we're all sure that you will
But I don't think Hank done it this way
I don't think Hank done it this way

Ten years down the road, making one night stands
Speeding my young life away
Tell me one more time just so I understand
Are you sure Hank done it this way
Did Ol' Hank really do it this way?

I've seen the world with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singing my songs and one of his now and then
But I don't think Hank done 'em this away
No I don't think Hank done 'em this away

Take it home

"Austin"

"Austin"


Where did all my friends go?
What happened to my scene?
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
Up and left the king

And I've been swimming for redemption
But I'm drowning in bureaucracy
And I can't find exemption
From all this mediocrity

And the whiskey and women in this town
are killing me
If I don't put new boots on
I'll never get on my feet
I've been running with the devil
and there's gonna be hell to pay
If I don't get to Austin
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away

I don't mean to bitch and judge
But baby I gotta go
Where they still play Merle Haggard
And the girls love to rock and roll
And I've been looking for perspective
Between the highway signs
But all roads lead to Texas
Ya'll look me up some time

And the whiskey and women in this town
are killing me
If I don't put new boots on
I'll never get on my feet
I've been running with the devil
and there's gonna be hell to pay
If I don't get to Austin
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away

Whiskey and women in this town
are killing me
If I don't put new boots on
I'll never get on my feet
I've been running with the devil
and there's gonna be hell to pay
If I don't get to Austin
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away

"Baby Doll"

"Baby Doll"


She stops and checks her reflection in a car parked on the corner
She says its hell on me this working down at the diner
Some people say man she was hot back when she was younger
Yeah well she was a dancer when she lived in LA

Well she was someone's baby doll
A beauty queen to someone long ago
For the midnight show

And if you close your eyes
You can hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps she dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young
She was someone's baby doll

She stops and checks her reflection in the bathroom on her lunch break
She says "I still look good for someone half of my real age"
Some people say "Man I bet she still makes love like an earthquake"
Yeah but man she ain't easy... she ain't letting you in my friend, my friend

Its time to wake up baby doll
Put your best dress and your high heals on
And dream your gone

When you close your eyes
You can hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps she dreams she's back in Hollywood
Back when all the world was young
She was someone's baby doll

She stops and calls an old friend from the payphone at the subway
She says I feel like I'm just sitting here wasting my days away
It's time to move on baby doll
And walk away just like you did before... when you wanted more

When you close your eyes
You hear the music playing
You can see her dancing underneath the spotlight
And when she sleeps she dreams she's back in Hollywood
When she was a younger girl... a pretty heart in a tainted world
Not sure who you wanna be
Your daddy's little drama queen
I hope that when you find yourself
You're more than just a baby doll
