1.Life On The Run
She never knew my name... least not the one my daddy gave me
I took off the way I came... moonlight reflectin' off the road
She didn't want my story... so I didn't have to lie
If I loved her it was only for a night
Livin' life on the run... you can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the settin' sun I... didn't do what they
said I done, I gotta
Stay one step ahead or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
Oh... you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
The white lines on the road... that's the only trail I leave
behind me
Been chasin' high-line poles... ever since the night I skipped
out of town
Mmm... somewhere in the distance... is where I need to be
All I care about right now is speed
Livin' life on the run... you can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the settin' sun I... didn't do what they
said I done, I gotta
Stay one step ahead or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
No... you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
Here we go
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Done bent the law 'til the law got broke
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Low... low... low... low...
Here they come now, they're closin' in
Pack of bloodhounds gonna catch my scent
Here they come now, now gone again
Yeah...
Livin' life on the run...
You can't give your heart to no one...
You can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
No... you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life...... on
the run
2.Sideways
Hey girl, what's your name?
It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing,
But I sure do like your style,
And I can see you came to rock
In your blue jeans and white tank top;
Man that look drives me wild.
And it's hey now here we go.
D-j don't you play nothing slow
Keep those girls out on the floor
Gotta make them want to come back for more.
Been here since the sun went down,
Be here when it comes back around
Worked all week it's time to play
Gonna get a little bit sideways
Sideways.
Ain't no need to fight
Y'all take that redneck stuff outside
That's what parking lots are for.
Once you're out you ain't coming back
The man on the ropes ain't got no slack.
Man they're busting down the door!
And it's hey now here we go
D-J don't you play nothing slow
Keep those girls out on the floor
Gotta make 'em wanna come back for more.
Been here since the sun went down
Be here when it comes back around
Worked all week it's time to play
Gonna get a little bit sideways
Sideways.
That's right
Hey now here we go
(hey now here we go)
D-j don't you play nothing slow
Gotta make 'em wanna (what?)
gotta make 'em wanna (what?)
gotta make 'em wanna come back for more.
Hey now here we go
D-J don't you play nothing slow
Keep those girls out on the floor
Gotta make 'em wanna come back for more
Been here since the sun went down
Be here when it comes back around
Worked all week it's time to play
Gonna get a little bit sideways (na na na na na)

Hey girl what's your name?
It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing.
3.Feel That Fire
She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the crackerjack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo
She wants to wear my shirt to bed
She wants to make every stray a pet
N' Drive around in my truck with no place to go
But she needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She's everything I want and more
Her real desire, Is to know I'd walk alone out on the wire
To make her feel that fire
She wants a cabin in the woods
She wants to stand where nobody stood
And someday she wants a couple kids of her own
She wants to make love on a train
And some days she only wants a break
Hey but she wants what she wants
But man I know I know I know
She needs to feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She's everything I want and more
Her real desire, Is to know I'd walk alone out on the wire
To make her feel that fire
Yeah, feel that fire
So as long as there's a breath to take
A smile to share, a prayer to pray
A chance to hold her hand to fan the flame
She's gonna feel that fire
The one that lets her know for sure
She's everything I want and more
Her real desire, Is to know I'd walk alone out on the wire
Yeah, to make her feel that fire
Ohh feel that fire
She wants her nails painted black
She wants the toy in the crackerjack
She wants to ride the bull at the rodeo
4.I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes
Girl I've been waitin on this long hard day to get over
So I can rest my head right here on your shoulder
I just wanna lay here and feel you breathe
Listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat
And see where it leads...
We're wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say it and hold me tight
All I need is only you and me alone tonight
I wanna make you close your eyes...oh yeah...
You can make me work for it girl if you want to
Just leave a trail for me to follow you into the bedroom
And if you need a little bit of help from me
Babe there's not a button that I can't reach
Lets see where it leads
We're wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say it and hold me tight
All I need is only you and me alone tonight

I wanna take you somewhere...out there...
'Til the world fades out of sight
We're wide awake but girl I wanna make you close your eyes
And say my name like only you can say it and hold me tight...

All I need is only you and me alone tonight
Yeah.. I wanna make you close your eyes...oh

5.Here She Comes
Here she comes down the road
Rattlin' the gravel with the radio
Kickin' out some loud honky tonk song
Here we go, buckle up
Put us both together in a pickup truck
Gonna be memories all night long
Might get wild, I know
But here she comes, here we go
Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse
The last bell in school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go
Here she comes with a plan
Said she heard about a joint with a country band
Where they play George Strait and that's all
Here we go walkin' in
She's makin' every hat in the whole place spin around
Checkin' out that walk
Girls wish she'd just stay home
But here she comes, here we go
Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse
The last bell in school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go
Here she comes with that look
That says she'd rather be alone and that's all it took
Here we go out to that spot
Where we turn on the radio and the headlights off
Now she's movin' in real close
Here she comes, here we go
Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger, I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse, the last bell in school
Ready or not
When she pulls the trigger I'm a loaded buckshot
One little kiss
It's a match to the fuse, the last bell in school
A kick to the bull at the rodeo
Here she comes, here we go
6.I Can't Forget Her
She found a cowboy
And I hear they've settled down somewhere out west
Well I guess it's for the best
Here in Del Rio
Nothin' seems to change except the weather
And I can't forget her
She goes runnin' through my mind
Like that Rio Grande river winds through the desert
And I can't forget her
No, I can't forget her
There's a senorita who waits just over the border line
For me tonight
And I could hold her
And this tequila could help me love her
But there's still another
She goes runnin' through my mind
Like that Rio Grande river winds through the desert
And I can't forget her
No, I can't forget her
These endless starlit nights
Remind me of her eyes
And this warm prairie breeze is like her arms wrapped around me
She goes runnin' through my mind
Like that Rio Grande river winds through the desert
And I can't forget her
No, I can't forget her
She found a cowboy
And I hear they've settled down somewhere out west
Well I guess it's for the best
But I can't forget her
No I can't forget her
7.Beautiful World (feat. Patty Griffin)
All the noise and the voices are screamin'
What they have to say
And the headlines and sound bytes are givin' me
Demons to hate
And the man on TV
He tells me it's ugly
But if you ask me
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world
There's tears and there's fears and there's losses and crosses
to bear
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayer
And press on because
There's so much to live for and so much to love
In this beautiful world
Say what you will but I still believe
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world
And I know (I know)
I'm not dreamin'
I just choose (choose) to believe it
So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my
eyes, oh
And I know at the end of my road I'll be wantin' more time
Just another sunset
One more kiss from my baby
A smile from a friend
In this beatiful world
It's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world
Say what you will, but I still believe
It's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world
Oh, it's a beautiful world
8.Little Heartwrecker
You can cry, cry, cry like the rain
Ocean full of tears won't drown the pain
Take all your whiskey, pour it down the drain
Ain't nothin' gonna make you feel better
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
You can beg, beg, beg like a dog
Chase her 'round the world, but she'll still be gone
She did you right once, but left you all wrong
Now you're chewin' on a Dear John letter
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
She takes a big black ball
And a long strong chain
And she lets it fall
Again and again and again and again and again
She's a little heartwrecker
Sing, sing, sing a sad song
Honky tonk jukebox playin' along
Until your last buddy and your money's gone
But still you can't not remember
So you pray, pray, pray like a saint
Promise your maker all kinds of things
He don't answer, but you know He'd say
Son you better just forget her
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
She takes a big black ball
And a long strong chain
And she lets it fall
Again and again and again and again and again
She's a little heartwrecker
She was a sweet, sweet, sweeter than wine
Never knew nothin' could be so fine
So you took it all out and laid it on the line
Best you ever had only better
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
Oooh, she's a little heartwrecker
9.You Hold Me Together
By now I shoulda been broken
On the rocks of rising life's ocean
Just another ship lost at sea
By now I shoulda been scattered
In the wind of my lonesome travels
Like a thousand dandelion seeds
And I shoulda come unraveled
At the seams like a well worn sweater
But you hold me together
My hope shoulda been shattered
Like a bottle out behind some tavern
From a fight that you had no chance to win
My dreams shoulda been ashes
Gone up in smoke like a book of matches
Tossed away and never gonna burn again
And I shoulda worn right through
Like an old cowboy's boot leather
But you hold me together
I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
Cause you hold me together
Together yeah
I feel your love surrounding me
Strong enough that I can believe
There won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
No there won't ever be a storm that I can't weather
I shoulda been long forgotten
Just a footnote down at the bottom
Of a page in the book of what coulda been's
My heart should lie in pieces
On the ground like a goodbye letter
You hold me together
You hold me together
You hold me together
Together yeah
You hold me, you hold me together
10.Better Believer
Life is seen more clearly through our tears
Cause we all find some faith
When we face our fears
When my life's goin like I want
God becomes an after thought
And I start trying to build my Heaven here
A better believer would look to the skies
And shout 'hallelujah' with tears in his eyes
Open his heart and start givin it all away
When I take a hard look at myself
And count my blessings I can't but help
But wonder if there's been some kind of mistake
This life of mine should belong to a better believer
All we really need in life is love
And in my time I've had more than enough
But some days I'm not satisfied
It happens to me every time
I look around instead of looking up
A better believer would look to the skies
And shout 'hallelujah' with tears in his eyes
Open his heart and start givin it all away
When I take a hard look at myself
And count my blessings I can't but help
But wonder if there's been some kind of mistake
This life of mine should belong to a better believer
With all I've got to be thankful for
I should be doing so much more
I know
A better believer would look to the skies
And shout 'hallelujah' with tears in his eyes
Open his heart and start givin it all away
When I take a hard look at myself
And count my blessings I can't but help
But wonder if there's been some kind of mistake
This life of mine should belong to a better believer
This life of mine should belong to a better believer
11.Pray
Just because it didn't last
Doesn't mean that we were wrong
We both fell in love so fast
And now it's gone
And the hurt is strong
Though we don't see eye to eye
And a wind's begun to blow
I'm gonna love you til I die
And I want you to know
Til they lay me low
I'll pray that love will blessed and find you
Pray for joy and happiness
Pray for two strong arms around you
Pray
Was it something we can't see?
Maybe something we don't know
If it wasn't meant to be
We should just say so
And let it go
I'll pray that love will blessed and find you
Pray for joy and happiness
Pray for two strong arms around you
Pray
That with time
You'll someday find peace
I'll pray that love will blessed and find you
Pray for joy and happiness
Pray for two strong arms around you
Pray
That with time
You'll someday find peace
That with time
You'll someday find love.
12.Last Call (with Ronnie McCoury & Friends)
Early in the afternoon is the only time my mind is clear
To think of you and the love we knew
It's a memory I hold so dear
Now we're apart I've got a broken heart
The tears fall so sincere
I know it's wrong but before too long
It's gonna be whiskey and beer
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots
From the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You've got to stop the way you're living
You better change your short life ways
Smokin', drinkin', and lovin'
You're just numberin' your days
Though I just know what I need to do
If I could just turn around today
But her memory catches up with me
And this bar stool's where I'll stay
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots
From the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
You must've ordered two more double shots
From the shape that you're in
There ain't no stoppin' my bar hoppin'
I should've stayed home instead
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
Last call for alcohol still ringin' in my head
