1.Singer In A Cowboy Band
I played Texas, beer joints and rodeos
Big D arenas, truck stops, casinos
Sang in every dive and joint in Oklahoma
Did hard time in a few in Arizona
Been in every hole-in-the wall from Memphis to Maine
Out here rocking, rolling
Mixing up the fast with the slow ones
Living, breathing
Songs about loving and leaving
Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand
Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band
I got a guitar banged up as I am
Hit every bar from Buffalo to Cheyenne
I got an outlaw 5-piece combo
I got a tattoo says 'Vaquero'
I dance with the devil, live on one-night stands
But I'm rocking, rolling
Mixing up the fast with the slow ones
Living, breathing
Songs about loving and leaving
Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand
Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band
Sometimes I stop, I go to reminiscing
What it is that I'm out here missing？
How a blue-eyed boy in church on Sunday
Be raised so right then go the other way
I'll be here 'til the good Lord calls me home
Oh, I'll be rocking, rolling
Mixing up the fast with the slow ones
Living, breathing
Songs about loving and leaving
Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand
Why I'm a singer in a cowboy band
2.I Don't Dance
We've seen it all, me and this old guitar
Sweatin' it out in these cowboy bars
With the lost souls, winners, losers and cheaters
Done everything you can do in here
Late nights, fist fights, strippin' my gears
I've had a good time
I know where to draw the line
I don't dance
That's somethin' I don't do
I don't dance
I bring it home to you
Standin' up here in the smoke and the lights
I know who's gonna hold me tonight
I don't dance
Or play with the truth
Take a chance Of ever losing
You're the only one I sing my love songs to
I don't dance with anybody but you
Oh temptation
She comes in here to hit me
Waltzing through the music and the whiskey
And that old devil goin' round the (？)
Yeah that's cowgirls,
Yeah they sure look fine
And they go to gettin' lonely around closing time
I know what their eyes are sayin'
When that old song starts playin'
I don't dance
That's somethin' I don't do
I don't dance
I bring it home to you
Standin' up here in the smoke and the lights
I know who's gonna hold me tonight
I don't dance
Or play with the truth
Take a chance
Of ever losing
You're the only one I sing my love songs to
I don't dance with anybody but you
Oh, I don't dance
Or play with the truth
Take a chance
Of ever losing
You're the only one I sing my love songs to
I don't dance with anybody but you
3.Your Kind Of Love
Baby, come over here, let's lay down
Whisper in my ear, oh, I love that sound
Close your eyes, feel my touch
Oh, I'll die trying to give you as much
'Cause your kind of love's the best ever made
Makes me wanna come home at the end of the day
And fall into your arms where I'm safe from harm
Yeah, you're warm like the sun
New like a dream, you're heart and soul
You're showing me things that I've never seen
And I can't get enough of your kind of love
You know there was a time, not that long ago
Oh, they called me a cowboy no one could rope
Baby, look at me, give me another kiss
If I'd kept on moving, look what I'd have missed
Yeah, your kind of love's the best ever made
Makes me wanna come home at the end of the day
And fall into your arms where I'm safe from harm
Well, you're warm like the sun
To me like a dream, you're heart and soul
You're showing me things that I've never seen
Oh, I can't get enough of your kind of love
Oh, your kind of love's the best ever made
Makes me wanna come home
Fall into your arms where I'm safe from harm
Yeah, you're warm like the sun
To me like a dream, you're heart and soul
You're showing me things that I've never seen
And I can't get enough of your kind of love
4.How Far To Waco
I pulled out of Los Angeles at two a.m.
Nothin' on the radio, mariachi band fadin' out and in
Blacktop in my headlights looks like it has no end
Only thing on my mind is gettin' back to my baby again
How far to Waco
Two hundred miles to Mexico
Albequerque by mornin' light
Six hours to the Texas line
Highway miles, they go by so slow
She's waitin' down the road from El Paso
How much further do I have to go
How far to Waco
Stopped at a Tuscon truck stop, Coke and a candy bar
Paid for the gas with the last of my cash, got back in the car
I can't wait to hold you, my darlin', in my arms
Goin' back to the love of that pretty girl that owns my heart
How far to Waco
Two hundred miles till the Mexico
Albequerque by mornin' light
Six hours to the Texas line
Highway miles, they go by so slow
She's waitin' down the road from El Paso
How much further do I have to go
How far to Waco
How far to Waco
Two hundred miles till the Mexico
Albequerque by mornin' light
Six hours to the Texas line
Highway miles, they go by so slow
She's waitin' down the road from El Paso
How much further do I have to go
How far to Waco
How much further do I have to go
How far from Waco
5.Once
You were a wait so worth
The price of all the hurt inside me
Just when the sun was setting on my heart
You found a way to drown
The loneliness and doubt inside me
Just when my soul was getting used to the dark
Here you are
Of all the roads that wind and curve
The shoots-you-down, some twists and turns
Somehow we found our way
Let's hold each other, fight for this
Life, you know it's all we get
Baby, you only find this kind of love
Once
You're like a song
That finds its way inside, I can't quit singing
A one of a kind timeless melody
The past just doesn't matter anymore
So let's just leave it
Forever with you is all I ever need
I can't believe
Of all the roads that wind and curve
The shoots-you-downs, some twists and turns
Somehow we found our way
So let's hold each other, fight for this
Life, you know it's all we get
Baby, you only find this kind of love
Once
Of all the roads that wind and curve
The shoots-you-downs, the twists and turns
Somehow we found our way
Let's hold each other, fight for this
Life, you know it's all we get
Baby, you only find this kind of love
This kind of love once
6.Cost Of Livin'
Everything to know about me
Is written on this page
The number you can reach me
My social and my age
Yes I served in the army
It's where I learned to shoot
Eighteen months in the desert
Pourin' sand out of my boots
No I've never been convicted of a crime
I could start this job at any time.
I got a strong back
Steel toes
I rarely call in sick
A good truck
What I don't know
I catch on real quick
I work weekends
If I have to
Nights and holidays
Give you 40
And then some
Whatever it takes
Three dollars and change at the pump
Cost of livin's high and goin' up.
I put Robert down as a reference
He's known me all my life
We attend the same church
He introduced me to my wife
Gave my last job everything
Before it headed south
Took the shoes off of my children's feet
The food out of their mouths
Yesterday my folks offered to help
But they're barely getting by themselves
I got a strong back
Steel toes
I rarely call in sick
A good truck
What I don't know
I catch on real quick
I work weekends
If I have to
Nights and holidays
Give you 40
And then some
Whatever it takes
Three dollars and change at the pump
Cost of livin's high and goin' up.
I'm sure a hundred others have applied
Rumor has it you're only takin' five
I got a strong back
Steel toes
I'm handy with a wrench
There's nothing I can't drive
Nothing I can't fix
I work sun-up to sun-down
Ain't too proud to sweep the floors
Bank has started calling
And the wolves are at my door
Three dollars and change at the pump
Cost of livin's high and goin' up.
7.Bleed Red
Let's say were sorry before it's too late
Give forgiveness a chance
Turn the anger into water
Let it slip through our hands
We all bleed red we all taste rain
All fall down loose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears we all bleed red
If we're fighting we're both loosing
We're just wasting our time
Because my scars they are your scars
And your world is mine
You and I
We all bleed red we all taste rain
All fall down loose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears all bleed red
Sometimes we're strong sometimes we're weak
Sometimes we're hurt and it cuts deep
We live this life breath to breath
We're all the same we all bleed red
Let's say were sorry before it's too late
We all bleed red we all taste rain
All fall down loose our way
We all say words we regret
We all cry tears we all bleed red
Sometimes we're strong sometimes we're weak
Sometimes we're hurt and it cuts deep
We live this life breath to breath
We're all the same we all bleed red
8.Last Love I'm Tryin'
I'm in this for good forever baby
No more sorta kinda maybe's
This time, no losing balance.
Come what may no matter what happens
No more going from this one to that one
All the way, that's all that matters.
I don't think I can take another
Here today gone tomorrow lover
Dancing in and out of my life,
Not sure I could survive
Oh I'm no quitter, I can't take
Handing over my heart having somebody break it
This is as high as I'm flying.
This is the last love I'm trying.
Sad and lonely I can't allow to hurt me
No giving into love, having it desert me
This time, all the way together
I can't tell you how important this is
Been through to way too many, hits and misses,
Almost, nearly forever's
Oh I don't think I can take another
Here today gone tomorrow lover
Dancing in and out of my life,
Not sure I could survive
Oh I'm no quitter, I can't take,
Handing over my heart having someone break it
This is as high as I'm flying.
This is the last love I'm trying.
Oh I don't think I can take another
Here today gone tomorrow lover
Dancing in and out of my life,
Not sure I could survive
Oh I'm no quitter, I can't take
Handing over my heart having someone break it
This is as high as I'm flying.
This is the last love I'm trying
I don't think I can take another
Here today gone tomorrow lover
This is the last love I'm trying.
9.Let The Cowboy Rock
Ol' boy at the bar with the stagger in his step
Looks like he's been rode hard and put up wet
Heartache's on him like stink on a skunk
He's fighting off lonely, trying to drown it with a drunk
Let the cowboy rock, let the good times roll
This is where the hurt stops or where the whiskey flows
Let him drink every drop, go, go, go 'til he drops
Let the cowboy rock
Yeah, think he's still a little green
Y'all, he's fresh off the farm
Some pretty little thing put a whooping on his heart
He's walking to the left, leaning to the right
Talking to himself, putting up a fight
Let the cowboy rock, let the good times roll
This is where the hurt stops or where the whiskey flows
Let him drink every drop, go, go, go 'til he drops
Let the cowboy rock
He needs a long rope
Boys, cut him some slack
Every now and then you gotta act like that
Let the cowboy rock, let the good times roll
This is where the hurt stops or where the whiskey flows
Let him drink every drop, go, go, go 'til he drops
Let the cowboy rock
Let him drink every drop, go, go, go 'til he drops
Let the cowboy rock
10.I Can't Help Myself
This was wrong right from the start
Nothin' more than a one way ticket to a broken heart
Lock me up, throw away the key
No matter how you see it, this just can't be
Oh I know that you belong to someone else
And I try, but I can't help myself
I can see the dark clouds building, building up ahead
The devil singin' like a chorus of angels,
messin' with my head
With all my strength, all my power, I fight the fight
As much as it feels good to us, it's just not right
Oh I know that you belong to someone else
Oh I try, but I can't help myself
Oh I know that you belong to someone else
Oh I try, can't help myself
11.I Just Get Lonely
Oh, it's just the wine
I shouldn't be drinking
Things cross my mind
I don't need to be thinking
When it comes to you
I got a weak heart
It's hard going through
Being this far apart
The blues come and go on me
Baby, I just get lonely, lonely, oh
Oh, I try to fight it
I try not to call
I keep coming back
To what went wrong
Wish I could just let it
Go on and be over
I know I'll regret it
In the morning when I'm sober
It's hurt talking, it's not me, oh baby
I just get lonely, oh, I
The voice you're hearing
At the end of the line
It's just hurt talking
It's not mine
This moment of weakness
These things that I feel
It's not anything
Time won't heal
Oh, baby, I just get lonely, oh I
I just get lonely, oh
I just get lonely, oh
12.Love Owes Me One
I'm so tired of fighting this fight
Looking ahead seeing no end in sight
Chasing a heart that's always on the run
Gonna walk away, love owes me one
Hangin' on outta habit
Can't go on like this, oh I've had it
Leave the sad, brave and lonely
Break these chains it's had on me
Keep the faith someway my day will come
Gonna walk away, love owes me one
We've held on, me and this poor heart of mine
Roll the dice put all we've had on the line
If givin' it all I've got just can't get it done
Gonna walk away, love owes me one
Hangin' on outta habit
Can't go on like this, oh I've had it
Leave the sad, brave and lonely
Break these chains it's had on me
Oh keep the faith someway my day will come
Gonna walk away, love owes me one
Hangin' on outta habit
Can't go on like this, oh I've had it
Leave the sad, brave and lonely
Break these chains it's had on me
Oh keep the faith someway my day will come
Gonna walk away, love owes me one
Gonna walk away, love owes me one
