"Boogie Till The Cows Come Home"

"Boogie Till The Cows Come Home"


There's a wood stove in the corner
There's saw dust on the floor
They've got a flashing neon lone star sign
Hangin' by the door
All they sell is beer and setups
So you'll have to bring your own
But when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

It's an old Southwest tradition
And a guaranteed good time
And there's people of all ages here
From one to ninety-nine
Even if you show up by yourself
You don't have to be alone
'Cause when they play that swing it only means one thing
You're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

'Faded Love' and 'Milk Cow Blues'
'The Oklahoma Stomp' and 'Born to lose'
Tip your hat to the 'Rose of San Antone'
Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

Here we go with the 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
We're gonna boogie till the cows come home

"Bury The Shovel"

"Bury The Shovel"


Got a long list of things to do
And it begins and ends with gettin' over you
I can't quit 'til I'm through
I get up with the sun and I go down with the moon

Pain and tears can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel

Gonna dig me a hole and make it deep
I'm gonna lay it down, what's left of us
And then put this thing to sleep
Let my soul rest in peace
I'm gotta nail down the lid on these stone cold memories

Pain and tears can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel

Pain and tears can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel

"Cold Hearted"

"Cold Hearted"


Everything I touch turns to ashes
So I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you
I've never had much luck with passion
But I can tell you're wantin' me too

Everytime you look my way I shiver
I'm havin' a hard time keepin' my cool
I see the message your eyes deliver
Or is it just the smoke in the room

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
You're burnin' me up
Just look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby you're cold hearted

Well I've always been a little bit reckless
Oh and now here I am playin' with fire
With every sweet kiss from your red lips
You make my temperature rise

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
You're burnin' me up
Just look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby that's cold hearted

I feel the heat
It's gettin' harder and harder to breathe
I feel the sweat
Rollin' down the nape of my neck
Oh you're burnin' me up
Oh look at this ragin' fire you started
Don't stop now
Baby that's cold hearted

"Coming Back Again"

"Coming Back Again"


I was breathin' but Lord I was barely alive
Findin' reasons for losin' the will to survive
I pushed the heart far beyond what it could take
Sometimes something's gotta break

Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
Now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again

Down in the ashes of a light that I let bury me
One hand pullin' me under, and another tryin' to set me free
In the struggle, I know I lost my way
Somehow I never lost my faith

Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
Now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again

Sometimes you stumble over steps you never take
Sometimes you learn from your mistakes

Now it's alright, I think I see a light there up ahead
Yeah, now it's alright, I think I've finally risen from the dead
The fire inside of me was gone like the wind
But now it's stirrin' within
It's coming back again
It's coming back again

"Could I Ask You Not To Dance"

"Could I Ask You Not To Dance"


Now I really should have known that you'd show up sooner or later
Knowin' every Friday night they always have your favorite band
Though someone new is with you at our table
Would it be too much for me to ask, to ask you not to dance

Not tonight, not until, my heart's had some time to heal
Not right now, till I'm gone, I won't be here very long
And when I leave, you can stay and just dance the night away
But till then, do you think that there's a chance
I could ask you not to dance

And I saw you slip the leader of the band a piece of paper
I knew what song they'd play before he took it from your hand
I was wonderin' if you'd do me one last favor
And if the answer's no I'll understand, could I ask you not to dance

Not tonight, not until, my heart's had some time to heal
Not right now, till I'm gone, I won't be here all that long
And when I leave, you can stay and just dance the night away
But till then, do you think that there's a chance
I could ask you not to dance

Not tonight, not until, my heart's had some time to heal
Not right now, till I'm gone, I won't be here all that long
And when I leave, you can stay and just dance the night away
But till then, do you think that there's a chance
I could ask you not to dance

"Countrified"

"Countrified"


This working all day ain't gettin' me nowhere
Breakin' my back won?t get it done
Wish I had a dime, wish I had a dollar
For every dream that I gave up on, that I gave up on

This hammer I?m swingin' is startin' to feel heavy
I clench my fist when I punch the clock
A little for the bank leaves nothing for my baby
Stretchin' my paycheck around the block

I need to go face first into that fresh air
Free up there where the eagle flies
Need to drop a line in that cool clear water
Leave the city behind and get countrified

A fool's gold watch and a lung
Full of black smoke is all I get for all I gave
My only reward for this broken down body
Was diggin' my way to an early grave

Always dreamed I?d end up on a river
Fast asleep on a mountain high
But I?m way down here in this concrete valley
In a sea of barbers and red taillights, red taillights

I need to go face first into that fresh air
Free up there where the eagle flies
Need to drop a line in that cool clear water
Leave the city behind and get countrified

I need to go face first into that fresh air
Free up there where the eagle flies
Need to drop a line in that cool clear water
Leave the city behind and get countrified

Fit to be tied

This working all day ain't gettin' me nowhere
Breakin' my back won?t get it done
Wish I had a dime, wish I had a dollar
For every dream that I gave up on, that I gave up on

"Country Boy And City Girl"

"Country Boy And City Girl"


Now I'm not the kind to take things for granted
A simple mind and two strong working hands
But right at the time I thought my feet were planted
You came along and uprooted this simple man

A strong-willed woman with every chance to show it
But I didn't mind 'cause you made my life worthwhile
A beautiful woman with every reason to know it
You liked my courage and honey, I sure liked your style

A country boy and city girl, makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart

Well, I always thought we'd stay together
And I still think about you from time to time
But I should have known nothing lasts forever
But I'd never be the one to say goodbye and I remember

A country boy and city girl makin' life in this old world
We went against the grain and against all odds
It don't matter what they say, I'm gonna love you anyway
And time won't undo what you've gone and done to my heart
And oh, honey time cannot do what you've gone and done to my heart

"Double Shot Of John Wayne"

"Double Shot Of John Wayne"


Every boy dreams of being a man
And there'll come a moment when he'll get the chance
Well, it's not how you live, it ain't how you die
Now a days the real ones are so hard to find

Where are the men with the nerves made of steel
Hearts that are wild and unbroken and real
They say what they mean and they mean what they say
Ride off like heroes after saving the day

So let's all raise our glassed to spirits untamed
Make us all something strong, a double shot of John Wayne

I've been knocked down a time or two
And this scar on my chin it ain't no tattoo
We might take falls but cowboys don't cry
So get up on your ponies and let's all whip and ride

'Cause we are the men with the nerves made of steel
Hearts that are wild and unbroken and real
We say what we mean and we mean what we say
Ride off like heroes after saving the day

So let's all raise our glassed to spirits untamed
Make us all something strong
A double shot of John Wayne

There's blue collars, white collars but we all bleed red
And what will they say when we're all dead

Where are the men with the nerves made of steel
Hearts that are wild and unbroken and real
They say what they mean and they mean what they say
Ride off like heroes after saving the day

So let's all raise our glassed to spirits untamed
Make us all something strong
A double shot of John Wayne

Yeah, make us all something strong
A double shot of John Wayne

"Down By The Riverside"

"Down By The Riverside"


The wind was blowing through your hair
The moon was shing on your face
You looked like a picture sittin' there
And time stood still there in that place
The water was singin', out hearts were beatin' fast
Two high school lovers thinkin' it would always last

Down by the riverside on a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside

Now you're nothin' but a ghost
That still haunts my memory
And you're always waitin' there
When I go walkin' through my dreams
There's no happy ending but I know our love will last
'Cause when I close my eyes you always take me back

Down by the riverside on a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside

On a warm summer night
We gave into passion for the very first time
We fumbled with love 'til we got it right
And we found heaven down by the riverside

"Dreaming With My Eyes Open"

"Dreaming With My Eyes Open"


I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin' to God
That they never would

And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
From runnin' back
Or followin' someone home

Till I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back
Or a million that ain't your own

I used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
But in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open
