"Southbound 35"

"Southbound 35"


What the hell am I doing down in Kansas City
Know damn well it ain't where I belong, no no
Think I'll quit my job come five o'clock
Find my lonely way back home

Well, my baby said just what are you trying to prove here
Really want to leave me here all alone
Said I'm tired of staring at this ocean full of Yankees
I'd rather be in Texas on my own, oh yeah

Now we were southbound 35
We were headed down the road
Hit the border by the morning
To let Texas fill my soul
To let Texas fill my soul

Well, the tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving
She said I guess you better take me along
She said that God might have made her born a little Yankee child
She said it's time that I made Texas now her home
So we loaded her stuff on down into my pickup truck
Said adios to all my friends
Called my brother Dave living down in *AUSTIN*
Said I'm headed home again

Now we were southbound 35
We were headed down the road
Hit the border by the morning
To let Texas fill my soul
To let Texas fill my soul

Had her feet up on there on the dashboard
Holding my hand and wearing only a smile
Said it's gonna be hard just to start all over
The feeling I have well it makes it all worthwhile

Now we were southbound 35
We were headed down the road
Hit the border by the morning
To let Texas fill my soul
To let Texas fill my soul

I got Texas in my soul
I got Texas in my soul

"Stuck In The Middle With You"
(with Cory Morrow)
(originally by Townes Van Zandt)



Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I've got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared, I might just fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you

And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
It keeps showing up all over the place

Well there's clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you've found that you're a selfish man
And your friends they all come crawling
And they slap you on the back and say please, please

Trying to make some sense of it all
I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
I don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you

Well you started off with nothing
And you've found that you are a selfish man
And your friends they all come crawling
And they slap you on the back and say please, please

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Yeah, there's clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Said I'm stuck in the middle with you
Whoa, I'm stuck in the middle with you

"Sweet Revenge"

"Sweet Revenge"


Well I ain't looking for an indication
Apologies or a consolation
Pull them up and burn the roots
Kill their horses and steal their boots
Mmm yeah sweet revenge

Went to the river some years ago
And it didn't do much to save my soul
But I found out my saving grace
Is a little closed heal in a warm dark place
Mmm hey I got sweet revenge

There's no second chance
There's no half way
The first time you're sorry and the second time you pay
You got your prayers when all else fails
Yeah sweet revenge

Well my left eye know what my right eye sees
There's a line down that appears to me
Find the place and hide awhile
Let 'em dance in the devil's fire
Mmm hey I got sweet revenge

I ain't looking for an indication
Apologies or a consolation
Mmm hey I got sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
A sweet revenge

"Take Me Out To A Dancehall"


Let you hair down

We'll call your mama
And tell her we're going out tonight

Tell 'em to play them old songs we all love
So tell me that you want me
And I'll tell you that I want you too
And I'll kiss your face whenever you want me to

Late night living, lover's rendezvous

"Temporary Angel"

"Temporary Angel"


Well I believe in hope and marriage
Forever and I do
But love suffers pain when you try to hard
And tonight we're living proof
But if we fell in love
We can fall in love again
There is no doubt we can work it out
Find a way to fall back in
Do you remember when I met you
What I whispered in your ear

Be my temporary angel
And I'll be your love for just one day
Hold me for the moment
Let the moment fade away
When you wake up the morning and your heart tells you stay
Be my temporary angel forever
When forever comes our way

We can start this thing all over
Let tomorrow win its turn
Give back the past, it'll never last
Strike a match and watch it burn
Do you remember when I met you
What I whispered in your ear

Be my temporary angel
And I'll be your love for just one day
Hold me for the moment
Let the moment fade away
When you wake up the morning and your heart tells you stay
Be my temporary angel forever
When forever comes our way

Close the door and turn the lights down
Let it all come down right now

Be my temporary angel
And I'll be your love for just one day
Hold me for the moment
Let the moment fade away
When you wake up the morning and your heart tells you stay
Be my temporary angel forever
When forever comes our way

"Texas In 1880"

"Texas In 1880"


I can hear the wind whisper my name.
Tellin' me it's time to head out again.
My horses are trailered and the lights are shut down,
An' I'm long overdue for headin' outta town.

Got a fever that they call the rodeo.
Just enough winnin' to make the next show.
Sometimes you make eight, sometimes you hit dirt.
Go on, pin another number to the back of my shirt

And I'll ride that pony fast,
Like a cowboy from the past.
Be young and wild and free,
Like Texas in 1880.
Just like Texas in 1880.

Ah, from Phoenix to Tulsa to the Astro Dome;
New York City down to San Antone;
There's boys that are ridin' for legendary fame,
And our money's all gone but we still ride the same.

Our hearts'll get broken, and our heads'll get busted.
But we'll always believe the things that we trusted.
There'll be those nights when glory comes round,
And we'll tip our hats and wave to the crowd

And then ride that pony fast,
Like a cowboy from the past.
Be young and wild and free,
Like Texas in 1880.
Just like Texas in 1880.

Someday when you're older,
Someone'll see,
That buckle hangin' there on your belt.
Ask you just how it felt!

To ride that pony fast,
Like a cowboy from the past.
Be young and wild and free,
Like Texas in 1880.
Just like Texas in 1880.
Just Like Texas.
Take me home to Texas
Ah play it just like Texas
Play it Just like Texas

"Texas On My Mind"
(with Cory Morrow)
(originally by Django Walker)



I woke up this morning
Texas on my mind
Thinking about my friends there
And a girl I'd left behind
The way she held me when we kissed
The loving that we'd done
And how I left her waving goodbye standing in the Texas sun

I've got a half a mind to call her
Half a mind to go
Jump a big jet liner
And wing it on my way back home

And all the morning it was raining on the streets of Liverpool
So I stayed in and played guitar and sang the lovesick blues
My mind kept going back in time when we both had fun
And how I left her waving to me standing in the Texas sun

I've got a half a mind to call her
Half a mind to go
Jump a big jet liner
And wing it on my way back home

In my dreams she's still in love with me
But I'd have to travel home to see
If she's found another man to take the place of me
Guess I'll have to keep on dreaming sunny memories

Wishing I was back there doesn't help me much at all
When I want to hold her it doesn't help me much to call
Stuck here in this seaport town longing for the one
That I left behind me there standing in the Texas sun

I've got a half a mind to call her
Half a mind to go
Jump a big jet liner
And wing it on my way back home

I've got a half a mind to call her
Half a mind to go
Jump a big jet liner
And wing it on my way back home

"The Bottle"

"The Bottle"


Now women and whiskey, they ain't the answer
Lord, well I just know that this here is true
But the way that I'm feeling, I just might be thinking
Lord, tonight they just might have to do

I've spent a lot of long and lonely nights in honkey tonk taverns
I was two fisted drinking and fighting back against the wall

And I know it's a problem, a no win situation,
but I can't seem to resist that old whiskey call

Mister pour me a drink
Hell, give me the bottle
Set me down in the corner 'till we're two sheets gone
And don't tell me no stories, about a good hearted woman
I wanna hear "Your Cheatin' Heart" and cry all night long

Now me and my buddies
We've got a lot in common
We all wish we could take time and just turn it around

Take us back to the good old days
of hard work and cowboy ways
Take us to a swingin' door saloon
This is what we'll say

Hey Mister pour us a drink
Hell, give us the bottle
Set us down in the corner 'till we're two sheets gone
And don't tell me no stories, about a good hearted woman
I wanna hear "Your Cheatin' Heart" and cry all night long

Yeah, pour us a drink
Hell, give us the bottle
Set us down in the corner 'till we're two sheets gone
And don't tell us no stories, about a goodhearted woman
I wanna hear "Your Cheatin' Heart" and cry all night long

"Threadbare Gypsy Soul"

"Threadbare Gypsy Soul"


Got myself a threadbare gypsy soul
Likes to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows
Gotta little threadbare gypsy soul
Gotta little threadbare gypsy soul

Gotta little wild streak in my heart
I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start
I gotta little wild streak in my heart
I gotta little threadbare gypsy soul

I like to hear the highway sounds
And I don't think that I'll ever settle down
I can't change and it's a sin
Hope St. Peter gonna let me in
Come on Pete won't you let me in

I wear this cowboy hat up on my head
And you can take it off me some time after I am dead
Gotta cowboy hat up on my head
Gotta a little threadbare gypsy soul

I wear these crusty shoes down on my feet
I could write a book about the places that they've seen
I got these crusty shoes down on my feet
I gotta little wild streak in my heart

And I like to hear the highway sounds
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever settle down
And I can't change and it's a sin
I hope St. Peter gonna let me in
Come on Pete won't you let me in

I know this crazy living just ain't right
Most of the time I'm smoking, drinking, looking for a fight
But I've been talking to Jesus every day
I've been talking to Jesus every day

And I got this girl back home I call my wife
If you ever met her I swear she would change your life
She's gotta little wild streak in her heart
But she's been saying hallelujah every day

I like to hear the highway sounds
I don't think that I'll ever settle down
I can't change and it might be a sin
Hope St. Peter gonna let me in
Got my gypsy soul to bare, Amen

"Three Days / 3 Days"

"Three Days / 3 Days"


Wake up, what you been dreaming about
I ain't got a lot to say, but I could talk to you for hours
The way you talk, the way that you breathe
The way that your spirit moves into me
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

I got three days to wash the road out of my soul
I got three days to love you out of control
And I wish I had a lifetime to hold onto this way
Love can do some healing in just three days

Yeah, and hold me and help me understand
Why on Earth I have to be such a stupid man
To live the way I do, dream the dreams I dream
So far away from you, yeah
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

I got three days to wash the road out of my soul
I got three days to love you out of control
And I wish I had a lifetime to hold onto this way
Love can do some healing in just three days

Three days and nights to put some life back in this man
I ain't holding nothing back
You got all I am
Hearts and souls and dreams in the palm of your hand

I got three days to wash the road out of my soul
I got three days to love you out of control
And I wish I had a lifetime to hold onto this way
Love can do some healing in just three days
