New To This Town (2012) - (performed by Kix Brooks)




















New To This Town lyrics - Kix Brooks (feat. Joe Walsh)

I was sittin' at the cafe for a bite
And couldn't help but overhear this guy
He just pulled up in a U-Haul truck
Tell Becky how pumped he was

'Bout movin' here for his new job
And what a cool little spot it was
It kinda made me jealous, it made me mad
Wish I could see this place like that

Yeah, I wish I was new to this town
Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
And not be afraid of finding you there
Yeah, girl, when I see you around
I wish I was new to this town

I can't put my feet on this sidewalk
Without hearing you laugh, and hearing you talk
And every street's a memory
Of just how good it used to be

I can't walk into the corner bar
Without asking how you are
And how you're doing, and how you've been
I gotta go through it all again

I wish I was new to this town
Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
And not be afraid of finding you there
Yeah, girl, when I see you around
I wish I was new to this town

I wonder what it feels like to hop in my truck
Not think about us, just go for a ride
And stop at that stoplight, not think about you
Sittin' here by my side

Yeah, I wish I was new to this town
Just pullin' in, and checkin' it out
For the first time, wish I could go anywhere
And not be afraid of finding you there
Yeah, girl, when I see you around
And I feel the way that I do now
Oh, I wish I was new to this town

I wish I was new to this town, oh, yeah
I wish I was new to this town
Oh, yeah

Moonshine Road lyrics - Kix Brooks

Long-legged woman, velvet and lace
A country boy can't help but stare
At your pretty face

I like your outlaw attitude
I like that long black car
And I might just be your ticket out
This ol' highbrow bar
I don't care who you are

Yeah, throw me the keys, honey, take a seat
Let me show you how to drive that thing
Riding shotgun with a bootlegger's son
Sure to make a city girl scream

I'm gonna take you places money don't go
I'm gonna teach you what a country boy knows
Gonna cover you in diamonds and dust
Where the stars fall on moonshine road

Roll down that window
Let down your fancy hair
You're a long way from New Orleans now
Nobody 'round here cares

Oh, can't you smell that jasmine hanging in the air?
That's the ghost of old plantations
That burned to hell out there
Yeah, girl, we're almost there

Yeah, hold on tight, here comes the ride
This is where the blacktop ends
Gonna lose those lights, running blind
You'll never be the same again

I'm gonna take you places money don't go
I'm gonna teach you what a country boy knows
Oh, yeah, I'll cover you in diamonds and dust
Where the stars fall on moonshine road

I'm gonna take you places money don't go
I'm gonna teach you what a country boy knows
Oh yeah, I'll cover you in diamonds and dust
Where the stars fall on moonshine road

Yeah, long-legged woman in velvet and lace
A country boy can't help but stare
At your pretty face, at your pretty face

Come on, throw me them keys
Let me show you what that caddy'll do right now
Come on

Bring It On Home lyrics - Kix Brooks

I was looking for a slow down
When you came around, just didn't know how
Never left the barroom or a beer joint
'Til the lights went out

But in the middle of a long slow kiss
The light came on
I've been doing this all wrong
I think I'm gonna try holding on

And all my life I been running
And all these nights I've wasted
All this time I been on the move
I think I'm gonna stop now
And just bring it on home with you

This is where I used to make my move
Slip on my boots
I'm good staying here
And just laying here, tangled up in you

I just never found that one I couldn't resist
I could get used to this
I think I'm gonna need
One more kiss

All my life I been running
All these nights I've wasted
All this time I been on the move
I think I'm gonna stop now

And just bring it on home with you, baby, by my side
Not gonna let love pass me by
Not this time, come on

And all my life I been running
And all these nights I've wasted
All this time I been on the move
I think I'm gonna stop now
And just bring it on home with you

Gonna bring it on home
Gonna shake it on out
Just me and you
In this big ole house

Gonna have a time
Gonna find a place in the sundown, baby
Gonna bring it on home, gonna lay it on down
Gonna feel the way that I'm feeling now forever, baby, yeah

I'm gonna bring it on home with you
Gonna bring it on home with you
Gonna bring it on home with you

There's The Sun lyrics - Kix Brooks

We've been cooped up, covered up with snow and rain
This country cabin fever's drivin' me insane
Been a long cold winter for way too long
Waitin' on the bluebird to sing me a song

Mercury's rising and the clouds are partin'
That short skirt walk is already startin'
Them buttercups are poppin' up towards the sky
These cool Rays are shadin' my eyes

There's the sun, here it comes
Summertime has begun, good time, friends
Where you been? Come on in, have some fun
There's the sun, yeah, there's the sun

Kick back and floatin' easy while the warm wind blows
And you'll find us makin' memories where the cool breeze blows
In the ocean and the lake and the swimming pool
Everybody's all in stayin' cool

Tappin' your toes and swayin' along
And that iPod shuffle goes to shufflin' songs
Them little bitty bathin' suits, lordy, lordy
Havin' us a sunscreen party

There's the sun, here it comes
Summertime has begun, good time, friends
Where you been? Jump on in, have some fun
There's the sun, there's the sun

There's the sun, here it comes
Summertime has begun, good time, friends
Where you been? Jump on in, have some fun

Complete 360 lyrics - Kix Brooks

I was a mess when you first met me
I said I'd turn it around if you just let me
And I worked so hard cleaning up my act
You got me hooked then you threw me back

I turned my life around completely
Come full circle since the day you ditched me
I'm back on the town, I'm back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360

I got a drink in one hand, a phone in the other
And all my old girlfriends are running for cover
So I call my booky and I made a bet
Ya it's only first quarter and I'm back in bed

I turned my life around completely
Come full circle since the day you ditched me
I'm back on the town, I'm back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360

Ya I jump off the wagon, baby. I didn't fall
Made a big splash like a canon ball
Lucy and the twins just walked through the door
That's a double shot of trouble I have been looking for
Ya I've been looking for you girls
I did a 180 for your affection
I went the extra mile in the wrong direction
If you want me back well you can find me at home
Ya or down at the bar just doing you wrong

I turned my life around completely
Come full circle since the day you ditched me
I'm back on the town, I'm back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360

That's right
I'm back on the town, back on the whiskey
Honey I done a complete 360

I quit my job, and wrecked my pickup
Going down hard and don't care if I ever get back up

My Baby lyrics - Kix Brooks

She walked in the room, clicked off the T.V
Kicked her feet up on the chair
Said we're headed in different directions
One of us gotta get out of here

I said, "Hey, baby, let me make it easy
Or maybe, baby, we could work things out"
She lit up a cig, said my bags are packed
In two seconds flat like Jumping Jack Flash
She's gone

My baby ain't coming back, no
My baby ain't coming back
My baby ain't coming back
Got a one way ticket on a one way track

My baby, she's a hot tamale
My baby's burning up the road
My baby done flipped me the bird
No matter what you heard she ain't coming back, no

Nothing left but a cloud of dust and
Tire tracks through the whole front yard
She might think I'm coming back to chase her
But she ain't worth the miles I'd put on my car

Might be out in Oklahoma
Maybe down in Arkansas
Maybe up in Ohio, what she don't know
It don't hurt at all, y'all

My baby ain't coming back, no
My baby ain't coming back
My baby ain't coming back
Got a one way ticket on a one way track

My baby, she's a hot tamale
My baby's burning up the road
My baby done flipped me the bird
No matter what you heard she ain't coming back, no

I heard a Hemi coming up the driveway
Thinking maybe she's back tonight
It's just the boys headed for the pool-hall
Sometimes things just work out right

My baby ain't coming back, no
My baby ain't coming back
My baby ain't coming back
Got a one way ticket on a one way track

My baby, she's a hot tamale
My baby's burning up the road
My baby done flipped me the bird
No matter what you heard she ain't coming back, no

Tattoo lyrics - Kix Brooks

I met her on a tailgate
Told me she was sweet on me
And she said I've got something
That I think you might like to see

I got a little peek driving in my car
And she finally let me see it out behind the bar
She said her daddy'd kill us both if he ever knew
I'm talking 'bout my baby's tattoo

If you ever get to see it
Well, you're gonna want to see it again
And it looks a little different
Just depending on the way she bends

But it's the cutest little thing that I've ever seen
On a model, in a movie or a magazine
Funny how some ink'll make you think
There's nothing she won't do
I'm talking 'bout my baby's tattoo

Ooh, ooh, looks so good, makes me crazy
Baby, tell me what would make a sweet thing
Like you get a thing like that?

Couple crazy girlfriends out on a dare
Drinking margaritas like they just don't care
Next thing you know, well, you're sitting in a chair
And trying to remember what he's drawing down there

I can't tell you what it looks like
I can't tell you where it is
And chances are you're never
Gonna see it, so I'll tell you this

It's not a rose on her ankle, not a heart on her hand
But it'll put a smile on the face of any man
The kind of thing that'll still look hot when she's 92
Yeah, I'm talking 'bout my baby's tattoo

Ooh, baby, looks so good, makes me crazy
Honey, tell me what would make a sweet thing
Like you get a thing like that?

In The Right Place lyrics - Kix Brooks

Hey, pretty girl, just look at you tonight
A team a horses couldn't drag me away
You ain't got no business being lonely, baby
Oh, let me put a smile on your face

I hope you don't mind if I put a little
Otis Redding on, pour us a glass of wine
We'll dance like drunken fools 'cross my living room
Baby, pull your body close to mine

If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night
If you're wanting a man who's wanting to hold ya
Come on, give these arms of mine a try

And if you're looking for something a little stronger
You ain't gotta look no longer
You're in the right place
Yeah, you're in the right place

Oh, look at me, I went and kissed you
Too late now to turn back now, you've got
That certain something and I just can't resist you
Let me show you what I'm all about

If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night
If you're wanting a man who's wanting to hold ya
Come on, give these arms of mine a try

And if you're looking for something a little stronger
Oh, baby, you ain't gotta look no longer
You're in the right place
Oh, yeah, you're in the right place

If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night
If you're wanting a man who's wanting to hold ya
Come on, give these arms of mine a try

And if you're looking for something a little stronger
Hey, baby, you ain't gotta look no longer

If you're needing a friend to talk to, baby
Lay it on me, I've got all night
If you're wanting a man who's wanting to hold ya
Come on, give these arms of mine a try

Next To That Woman lyrics - Kix Brooks

When I was young my buddies
Used to call me Jesse James
Living with the hammer down
Just trying to beat the train

I'd jump them tracks, don't look back
Leave the law behind
A finger out the window
While that police sirens whines

Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me

I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still

She's smiling like it's Sunday
And she's singing in the choir
Them curves of hers are smoking
And she's trying to start a fire

Yeah, the way she's looking at me
I know I should run and hide
Instead I'm thinking, "Hello, Bonnie
You can call me Clyde"

Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me

I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still

Yeah, when the good lord made her
Man, he did it mighty well
If he's got something better
Must have kept it for himself
And I'd walk through hell
To be next to that woman

Freight train never hit me
'Cause I made it 'cross the rails
And I never went to prison
'Cause my brother made my bail

How she's gonna get me?
Well, I guess it just depends
I haven't seen this movie
But I know the way it ends

Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me

I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still

Crazy's something that I know
Hell, I been to Mexico
Juarez ain't got nothing on that woman
Fast ain't nothing new to me

I've been to Bristol, Tennessee
Them boys are standing still

Let's Do This Thing lyrics - Kix Brooks

There's a long line of cars
The parking lot's full of people already crying
It's the hottest day in seven years
And I ain't the only one here dying

Well, I wish I had a cigarette
Or one more shot of Jack
But you can't go back
When the church bell rings
Baby, let's do this thing

My first grade teacher never liked me
Who sent her an invitation?
I got second cousins rolling in
Like momma's got supper waiting

And the sheriff's on front row
Yeah, just to see me settling down
Wait till he finds out you're crazy as me
Baby, let's do this thing

'Cause I'm dressed, you're stressed
There's a church full of guests
And who turned on the heat
My collar's kinda tight, your face is kinda white

Girl, don't you pass out on me
'Cause if we can make it through just two I do's
We'll be off on a life-long dream
I got the limo and the preacher

And your little baby sister's got
The pillow and the wedding rings
Let's do this thing
Let's do this thing

I got the snorkel and the flip flops
Take you to the hot spot
Didn't pack a stitch of clothes
I'll be glad when this thing's over
Like some Ringling brother's show

And I know I wasn't suppose to see you
'Fore I saw you walking down the aisle
And it's gonna sound wild but don't dress up
For me, baby, let's do this thing

'Cause I m stressed, you're dressed
There's a church full of guests
And who turned on the heat
My collar's kinda tight, your face is kinda white

Girl, don't you pass out on me
'Cause if we can make it through just two I do's
We'll be off on a life-long dream
I got the limo and the preacher

And your little baby sister's got
The pillow and the wedding rings
Let's do this thing
Let's do this thing

Yeah, your momma won't cry forever
She'll think it's funny some day
She gave you away in a veil and jeans
Baby, let's do this thing

Let's do this thing
Let's do this thing

Closin' Time At Home lyrics - Kix Brooks

Well, I've been staring at you all night long
Pretty as a picture
Sitting this close with the lights down low
Hits me right in the ticker
Nobody's pulling the plug on the jukebox
Nobody's saying that's your last beer
Nobody's yelling I don't care where you go
But you can't stay here

When it's last call, no worries
Bartender ain't making us hurry
One thing's for sure, we ain't leaving alone
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home

Right about now I'd be walking you out
To some dusty old parking lot
Waiting on a cab to take us to some other
Late night hot spot
Ain't no crowd here fighting for a slow dance
Or some ole cowboy trying to cut in
Yeah, I'd rather be here alone in the kitchen
Doing my best to get lucky again

When it's last call, no worries
Bartender ain't making us hurry
One thing's for sure, we ain't leaving alone
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home

Yeah it's last call, but no worries
Bartender ain't making us hurry
One thing's for sure, we ain't leaving alone
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home

No, we ain't gotta worry 'bout 'em stacking up the barstools
Sweeping up the broke glass
Throwing out the drunk fools
When it's closing time at home

When it's closing time
When it's closing time
When it's closing time I'm at home

She Knew I Was A Cowboy lyrics - Kix Brooks

I was leaning on the bar with a glass half empty
Washing down the dust when she brushed up against me
She was soft, she was pretty everything that I'm not
She said you look lonesome
I said yeah I get that a lot

And she knew I was a cowboy
I was born headed west
She knew I was a cowboy
When we met

I had mud on my boots and my hat stained with sweat
Lines on my face and miles of regret
But my silver belt buckle, it still caught her eye
The only thing I've got that still got its shine

And she knew I was a cowboy
I was born headed west
She knew I was a cowboy
When we met

Had a mind made up, both hands on the wheel
Her bags in the back of that old Oldsmobile
Left her tears on the pocket of my pearl button shirt
I whispered I loved her
But I don't think she heard

But she knew I was a cowboy
Not what she needed I guess?
But she knew I was a cowboy
When we met
Yeah, she knew I was a cowboy
When she left

Against The Wind lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(originally by Bob Seger)

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Against the wind

Best Of My Love lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(originally by Eagles)

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
Comin' apart at the seams

We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin'
To give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give

That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love

Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love

I'm goin' back in time
And it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night and I would be all right
If I could go on sleepin'

But every mornin' I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today
You see it your way, and I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away

You know we always had each other, baby
I guess that wasn't enough
But here in my heart, I give you the best of my love

Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', every night and day you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin', you get the best of my love
(The best of my love)

Cabin In The Valley lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Today, I climbed the hillside with the snowcapped evergreens
Stared down in the valley at a Christmas memory
Saw a young boy in a cabin hang a stockin' on a peg
Peace on Earth was ours down in the valley

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire a-blazin', all the family's gathered 'round
There was nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

Mama still plays carols on those worn out ivory keys
And Papa's hooked his old team up to fetch the Christmas tree
I watch my boy climb on a limb, shakin' loose the mistletoe
Just the way I did not so long ago

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire a-blazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, there's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire a-blazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, there's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

Corrine, Corrina lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Corrina, Corrina
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance

Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
I ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone

Well I love Corrina, tell the world I do
I love Corrina, tell the world I do
Just a little more loving let your heart be true

Corrina, Corrina where'd you stay last night
Corrina, Corrina where'd you stay last night
Come home this moring the sun was shinin' bright

Corrina, Corrina is it true what they say
Corrina, Corrina is it true what they say
That you're growing colder more and more every day

Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me

Corrina can you dance

Well I left Corrina far across the sea
I left Corrina way across the sea
You wouldn't write no letters,
She wouldn't talk to me

Corrina, Corrina be a pal of mine
Corrina, Corrina be a pal of mine
Oh, you got me walkin' just to keep from cryin'

Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
I ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone

Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
Corrina, Corrina where you been so long
I ain't had no lovin' since you've been gone

Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance with me
Corrina can you dance...

Days Of Thunder lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

A lot of trucks lined up down by the lake
Drinkin' beer on the back of the tailgate
Boys from the valley want to start a fight
Hey baby, what you want to do tonight
The only fear a rebel heart knows
Nothing to do when anything goes

Looking back on those days of thunder
I shake my head and I have to wonder
How we ever made it through that
Girl tonight you're takin' me back
There's a road and a restless wind
Ain't it good to feel that way again
Here we are, the way we were
In those days of thunder

That old Ford is sure fast on the draw
Outgun the Chevys and outrun the law
Outskirts of town looking down on the lights
Waiting for some kind of lightning strike
The cars and the bars
The songs we knew have changed
The fire that burns inside of us still remains

Looking back on those days of thunder
I shake my head and I have to wonder
How we ever made it through that
Girl tonight you're taking me back
There's a road and a restless wind
Ain't it good to feel that way again
Here we are, the way we were
In those days of thunder

Yeah
Looking back on those days of thunder
I shake my head and I have to wonder
How we ever made it through that
Girl tonight you're taking me back
There's a road and a restless wind
Ain't it good to feel that way again
Here we are, the way we were
In those days of thunder
In those days of thunder, yeah

Folsom Prison Blues lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(originally by Johnny Cash)

Well, I hear that train a-comin'
It's rollin' around the bend
Well, I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when

And I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
Well, that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone

When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
She said, always be a good boy
Don't never play with guns

But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and cry

Well, I bet there's rich folks eatin'
From a fancy dining car
Well, they're probably drinking coffee
And smoking big cigars

Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I can't be free
Now, those people keep a-movin'
That's what tortures me

If they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little
Farther down the line

Yeah, far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to stay
Lord, I here that whistle blowin'
Blow my blues away, yeah

It's been thirty years now, and I know I'll never leave this godforsaken place alive.
Honest to God, when I hear her words ringin' through my head as loud as that old train whistle,
crying out to me night after endless night, sending a cold steel shiver through my lost soul,
I close my eyes and pray that that iron horse is bound for the promised land and I'll get to ride it home to glory someday.

He's Got You lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I thought we would always be together
The love we shared was gonna last forever
Once I was your one and only
Now here I sit, mister lonely

He'll hold you tonight, but I won't
What's he got that I don't
The one thing I thought I'd never lose
He's got you

Beneath this dark cloud you left me under
Can't sort it out so I'll sit and wonder
Tell myself, "It hurts, don't it"
Now my empty heart will be forever haunted

He'll hold you tonight, but I won't
What's he got that I don't
The one thing I thought I'd never lose
He's got you

He'll hold you tonight, but I won't
What's he got that I don't
The one thing I thought I'd never lose
He's got you
Oh, he's got you

Honky Tonk Truth lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I'm the life of the party baby since you said good bye
Just ask old Joe, he knows I'm here every night
And that good old boy in the mirror looking around for you
It ain't me
And that's the honky tonk truth

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

Don't think I'll come crawling back 'cause I don't miss you
If you walked up and puckered up, girl, I wouldn't bother to kiss you
And that washed up, broken down fool, hanging out on that stool
Well it ain't me
Now that's the honky tonk truth

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
I put my right hand here on this beer and swear on this bar
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth
I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying, I ain't moaning the blues
I wouldn't lie to you
Now that's the honky tonk truth

Honky Tonk Women lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(originally by The Rolling Stones)

Well, I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis, she tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulders 'cause I just can't seem to drink her off my mind

Yeah, those honky tonk women
That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

There was a divorcee in New York City, I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady said she'd cover me in roses, yeah, she blew my nose and then she blew my mind

Yeah, those honky tonk women
That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Hey

Oh, those honky tonk women
That give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Oh, it's honky tonk women
Yeah, that give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
Yeah, those honky tonk women
Yeah, that give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

I Ain't Living Long Like This lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(originally by Rodney Crowell)

You looked for trouble and you found it, son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
You'd try to run, but you don't think you can
You make one move and you're dead man, friend

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I, baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then he left me freezing on a steel rail track
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they, baby
I ain't living long like this

Grew up in Houston, off of Wayside drive
Son of a car hop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk man's breath

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I, baby
We know the story how the wheel goes 'round
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
I ain't living long like this

You live for Angel, she's a roadhouse queen
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
You want to love her but you don't know how
You're at the bottom of the jailhouse now

I ain't living long like this
I can't live at all like this, can I, baby
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught
They got 'em all in the jailhouse, ain't they, baby
I ain't living long like this

It's Getting Better All The Time lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I don't stop breathing everytime the phone rings,
My heart don't race when someone's at my door,
I've almost given up thinking you're ever gonna call,
I don't believe in magic anymore,
I just don't lie awake at night,
Asking God to get you off my mind.

It's getting better all the time,
it's getting better all the time.

Yeah I got to work on time again this morning,
This old job is all that I got left,
And no one even noticed I'd been crying,
At least I don't have whiskey on my breath,
Yeah I think I'm gonna make it,
'Cause god won't make a mountain I can't climb.

It's gettine better all the time,
It's getting better all the time.

God I hope you're happy,
Girl I wish you well,
I just might get over you
But you can't ever tell

I always thought I'd do something crazy,
If I ever saw you out with someone else,
But when the moment came last night,
I couldn't say a word,
I stood there in the dark all by myself,
Yeah I could have said a million things,
But all I did was keep it locked inside.

It's getting better all the time,
It's getting better all the time,
It's getting better all...the time.

Little Country Girl lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

She's got a T-Top Camaro with a scoop on the hood
And two big speakers blasting 'Johnny B. Goode'
Lookin' so sweet it oughta be a crime

She plays with my heart and messes with my mind
Acts like Madonna but she listens to Merle
Rock my world little country girl

She wears snake skin boots made by Calvin Klein
Cheap sunglasses from the five and dime
All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks

She got an 'A' in math and never cracked a book
Sure looks good in her denim and pearls
Rock my world little country girl

Rock my world, drag me out on the floor
Dance with me till I can't dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine
Rock my world

I tell her that I love her but it ain't enough
She says, I got to learn to loosen up
Get a little wild on Saturday night

But make sure, she's home before the mornin' light
Sunday she's all ribbons and curls
Rock my world little country girl

Rock my world, drag me out on the floor
Dance with me till I can't dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine
Rock my world

Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl
Rock my world little country girl

Over The Next Hill lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

By the way the land is layin'
Think I'd be safe in sayin'
That over the next hill, we'll be home

It's a straight and narrow highway
No detour and no byways
And over the next hill, we'll be home

From the prophets I've been hearin'
I would say the end is nearin'
For I see familiar landmarks all along

By the dreams that I've been dreamin'
There'll come a great redeemin'
And over the next hill, we'll be home

By the turn the tide is takin'
I would say there's no mistakin'
That over the next hill, we'll be home

There's a place that we are nearin'
That so many have been fearin'
And over the next hill, we'll be home

When we get there, we're all hopin'
That we'll find the gate is open
And there'll be a refuge from the comin' storm

For the way's been long and weary
But at last the end is nearin'
And over the next hill, we'll be home
Over the next hill, we'll be home
Over the next hill, we'll be home

Ride 'Em High, Ride 'Em Low lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(from "8 Seconds" soundtrack)

Oh, a bat outta hell outta shoot number nine
Well, I'm a-lookin' for eight, Lord, it's been a long time
I'm tied to the hot seat in the heat of the battle
You gotta give it all you got just to stay in the saddle

Yeah, I ride 'em high and I ride 'em low
The only life for me, that's a rodeo
I got a pot of gold waiting in every town
I gotta ride this horse down

I got a one-horse trailer, got a dually truck
Sure could use a tank of gas, come on, Lady Luck
I live high on the hog, I eat pork and beans
Lord, I sleep off the whiskey when I dream big dreams

Oh, I ride 'em high and I ride 'em low
The only life for me, that's a rodeo
I got a pot of gold waiting in every town
I gotta ride this horse down

Pretty girls ride through my heart like the wind
Said there ain't no future in cowboy men
Well, I can take a fall and I can take pain
Ain't gonna climb on board that old heartbreak train

Oh, I ride 'em high and I ride 'em low
The only life for me, that's a rodeo
I got a pot of gold waiting in every town
I gotta ride this horse down

Yeah, I ride 'em high and I ride 'em low
The only life for me, that's a rodeo
I got a pot of gold waiting in every town
I gotta ride this horse down

I gotta ride this horse down

I'm gonna ride this horse down

Rough Boy lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

What in the world's come all over me?
I ain't got a chance of one in three
Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line
Give me just a minute I'll be feelin' fine

I am the one who can fade the heat
The one they all say just can't be beat
I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why

I'm a rough boy
I'm a rough boy

I don't care how you look at me
Because I'm the one and you will see
We can make it work, and we can make it by
So give me one more minute and I'll tell you why

I'm a rough boy
I'm a rough boy

Yeah, I'm a rough boy
I'm a rough boy

I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
Just gimme one more minute and I'll tell you why

I'm a rough boy
I'm a rough boy

Straight Tequila Night lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

If you really want to know, she comes here a lot
She just loves to hear the music and dance
K-13 is her favorite song
If you play it you might have a chance

Tonight she's only sipping white wine
She is friendly and fun loving most of the time

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night
She'll start thinking about him and ready to fight
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night

Here's a glass of champagne, some quarters and change
Maybe you can turn her love life around
And she won't need the song or the light anymore
To shoot that old memory down

Just remember her heart is on a man
If you ever come back to see her again

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night
She'll start thinking about him and ready to fight
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night
She'll start thinking about him and ready to fight
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night
She'll start thinking about him and ready to fight
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night

But don't ask her on a straight tequila night
She'll start thinking about him and ready to fight
Blames her broken heart on every man in sight
On a straight tequila night

Swing It lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(from "Everyone's Hero" soundtrack)

It's a white dot coming at you fast
It's a little spot snaking through the grass
Take your best shot
Show a little class
It'll come to ya
Keep your head in the game
Take the bat
Put it in your hands
Pull down your hat
Look right at the man
Be cool cat
Stick to the plan
Don't listen to the noise
Of the fans in the stands
Keep swinging it
Keep swinging it
Keep swinging it
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it

Now keep in mind
That anything can happen
Take your time
Not this or maybe that one
Tow the line
Stick with it friend
Sure enough
Got to be present to win
Keep swinging it

Keep swinging it
Keep swinging it
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it

It's a white dot coming at you fast
It's a little spot snaking through the grass
Take your best shot
Show a little class
It'll come to ya
Keep your head in the game
Keep swinging it
Keep swinging it
Keep swinging it
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
Keep swinging
Keep swinging
Keep swinging
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it

The Fightin' Side Of Me lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(originally by Merle Haggard)

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, Ye All,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I read about these liberal guys,
Who claims, he don't believe in fightin'.
I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.
When they're runnin' down my country, Ye All,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

The Long Haul lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

We got the radio up, got the tailgate down
Peacherman waiting at the church downtown
My baby's riding shotgun, dressed in white
Got a ring, got a suit, we gonna do it up right

Getting in it for the long haul
Yeah, getting in it for the long haul

With some hard work, a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of luck we can have it all
And make it through the long haul

Got everything we own in the back of that truck
Pocketful of dreams and a full tank of love
Two months down on a little farmhouse
It may not look like a whole lot now

Getting in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
We gettin' in it for the long haul
All day, every day and back again

With some hard work, a little bit of faith
And a whole lot of luck we can have it all
And make it through the long haul

Yeah, my daddy taught me like his daddy did him
Life is like a river that we all gotta swim
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
Be a little something for you on the other side

We getting in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
Getting in it for the long haul
All day, every day and back again

Yeah, we in it for the long haul
Going down the road that never ends
Hey, we in it for the long
All day, every day and back again

Yeah we in it for the long
Going down the road that never ends
All day, every day and back again

Long
Going down the road that never ends
All day, every day and back again

Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

(originally by Merle Haggard)

Tonight, the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
Yeah, the one true friend I thought I'd found
Well, tonight, the bottle let me down

Each night, I leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight, your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

And tonight, the bottle let me down
And it let your memory come around
Yeah, the one true friend I thought I'd found
Yeah, tonight, the bottle let me down

I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately, I've been turning every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
Well, I'm hurting in an old familiar way

And tonight, the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
Well, the one true friend I thought I'd found
Well, tonight, the bottle let me down
Yeah, tonight the bottle let me down

"Cowboy Town" (2007)

Cowboy Town Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Dirt, Mud, and Dust
Bibles and Beer
Outlaws, Barb Wire, Saddles, and Steers
Its a simple life, Oh its sacred ground.
Hard times, High winds can't bring us down

In cowboy town, yeah cowboy town
thats were I'm from
Cowboy town

We wear our boots to dinner
Drive our trucks to church
Solid as a rock
Salt of the earth
We like our whiskey strong
Play our music loud
Get things done by the sweat of our brow

Here in cowboy town, yeah cowboy town
That's were I'm from
Cowboy town

Winners, Losers, Sinners and Saints
It's were a good man's word is money in the bank
Bad boys, pretty girls is the name of the game
When ya hit the ground, get up, shake off the pain
That's a cowboy town

Someday when I die and my soul is called home
High on a white horse I'll ride up on it
That golden chute will stand old St. Pete
He'll tip his hat and welcome me

To cowboy town, oh cowboy town
Son come on in to cowboy town
I'm gonna live and die
In cowboy town

Proud Of The House We Built Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I dropped to my knees in that field on your daddy's farm.
Asked you to marry me, all I had to give was my heart.
While other kids went diving into swimming holes,
You and me dove off into the great unknown.
We were barely gettin' by, takin' care of each other.
Then I became a daddy; you became a mother.
Was an uphill battle nearly every day,
Lookin' back I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm proud of the house we built.
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and steel.
It's not a big place sittin' up high on some hill.
A lot of things will come and go but love never will.
Oh, I'm proud.
I'm proud of the house we built.

Still workin' our way through the land of milk and honey.
At the end of the day there's always more bills than money.
I close my eyes at night and I still feel
The same fire in my heart I felt out in that field.

I'm proud of the house we built.
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and steel.
It's not a big place sittin' up high on some hill.
A lot of things will come and go but love never will.
Oh, I'm proud.
I'm proud of the house we built.

Oh, look at us today.
Oh, we've come such a long long way.

I'm proud of the house we built.
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and steel.
It's not a big place sittin' up high on some hill.
A lot of things will come and go but love never will.
Oh, I'm proud.
I'm proud of the house we built.

I'm proud of the house we built.
It's stronger than sticks, stones, and steel.
It's not a big place sittin' up high on some hill.
A lot of things will come and go but love never will.
Oh, I'm proud.
I'm proud of the house we built

Johnny Cash Junkie (Buck Owens Freak) Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I grew up on Waylon, Willie and the Stones
Soundtrack to my life is a hillbilly song
Old boys like Merle, that man in black
Said what they wanted, never looked back
I tear up to "Crying In Time"
Me and Johnny fight to walk the line

I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I'm proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I'm a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

We got redneck women driving ATV's
Wearing camo bikinis on CMT
I throw back a beer, I pledge allegiance to Hank
I'll take a little less pop, a lot more twang
Three cords and some down-home soul
Some things never grow old

I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I'm proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I'm a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

[Instrumental]

Three cords and some down-home soul
Some things never grow old

I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I'm proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I'm a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

Cowgirls Don't Cry Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Her Daddy gave her first pony
Then told her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell I don't know how many times
Taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well

Cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are going to show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry

She grew up
She got married
Never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started coming home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart

'cause Cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are going to show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry

Phone rang early one morning
Her momma's voice, she'd been crying
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dying
She laid the phone down by his head
The last words that he said

Cowgirl don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life show us all in time
Too soon God lets you know why
If you fall get right back on
Good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirl don't cry

Put A Girl In It Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

You can buy you a brand new truck
Chrome it all out, jack it way up
You can build you a house up high on a hill
With a pool and a pond and a view to kill
You can make all the money in sight
But you aint livin the good life

Til you put a girl in it
You aint got nothin
What's it all worth
Without a little lovin
Put a girl in it
Some huggin and some kissin
If you're world's got somethin missin
Just put a girl in it

You can buy a boat and a shiny set of skis
Have some fun in the sun, float around in the breeze
You can lay out on a blanket by the lake
Drink a cold beer, polish off another day
Kick on back and watch the sky turn red
A sunset aint a sunset

Til you put a girl in it
You aint got nothin
What's it all worth
Without a little lovin
Put a girl in it
Some huggin and some kissin
If you're world's got somethin missin
Just put a girl in it

You can write you a country song
The DJ wont put it on
They wont dance or sing along

Til you put a girl in it
You aint got nothin
What's it all worth
Without a little lovin
Put a girl in it
Some huggin and some kissin
If you're world's got somethin missin
Just put a girl in it

If you're ridin in your truck
Put a girl in it

If you're gonna have a party
Put a girl in it

If you wanna live the good life
Better put a gir-r-rl in it

The Ballad Of Jerry Jeff Walker Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn (feat. Jerry Jeff Walker)

Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Yeah and he was the poet of the Lone Star state

And I was young enough
To think I was good enough to be his opening act
And in a cloud of smoke he took another toke
And counted one, two, three
And I knew right there just breathing his air
What I wanted to be

Buckaroos and jaded lovers
L.A. freeway and redneck mother
Mothers who had raised a son so well
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
Singing about to come back home and
Most likely too far gone to get there

Hey, Kix, that was 76
That was just enough beer to get us through the set
And get as high as our crowd
We got 700 miles Jerry, we gotta go
You're out of your mind; you'll never make it on time
Why not just have another round

Oh, we were trying get paid
Just trying to get laid
Living on love
Sleeping on the stage
Just turn another page
Never thinking we'd ever grow up

Buckaroos and jaded lovers
L.A. freeway and redneck mother
Mothers who had raised a son so well
Talking outlawed, long hair loners and stoners
Singing about to come back home and
Most likely too far gone to get there

Well, the way I recall the 70's
We were down in Austin and the establishment were
Saying we were wasting our time
The next thing I know
We were making more money than we could count
We're all being sued by the IRS
And having more fun than the law allowed

Yeah, I'm talking loners and stoners
And sing about to come back home
And most likely too far gone to get there.
Yeah, they were all most likely too far gone to get there

Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled up the stairs on his way to the
Stage with a Martin guitar and a six pack
Tools of the trade son

Tequila Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

One shot, Two shot, Three tequila floor,
Cowboy bouncer's 'bout to bowl me out the door
Jose got me stumblin' mumblin' like a fool
That worms got a kick like a Tennessee mule
Wake up in the mornin hurtin head skinned knees
Aint no doubt about whats puttin a whoopin on me

[Chorus]

Tequila Goes down easy, lord it will sneak up on you fast
Tequila Great Big buzz in a lil bitty glass
Tequila Glass, salt, straight up, chilled,lemon lime
Blue on the rocks, frozen margarita time
Mexicali, blue aguave, fire in a bottle
Too much Cabo Wabo do the cucha racha wobble
You think by now a drinkin man would learn
You dont go toe to toe with that lil bitty worm

[Repeat Chorus]

Drop In The Bucket Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

It's a wildcard drawn 'til you draw to a pair
Then you draw another pair and you're getting somewhere
Just a penny on the street until you stop and pick it up
When you stop and pick it up, it can change your luck

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

Oh, it's just another day until it turns into night
Then the lights get bright and you feel alright
And it's just another pair of old cowboy boots
Until you're on that floor and you start to move
It's just another song on that old guitar
Until the old guitar makes you a star

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

A shot of brown liquor and a smoky bar
Can make you a little bit better than you are
A small dance floor and a long slow dance
Can turn into a real romance
Take a chance
It's just an innocent kiss 'til it feels like this
When it feels like this then you just can't miss
She ain't nothing but a dream 'til you find that girl
When you find that girl she can change your world

Oh, it's just another house when you're sitting alone
'Til your honey comes home then it's on, it's on
Just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

Take a long hot day and some bright sunshine
To make a little thing called summertime
Take a walk out on the beach and a tender touch
Make a little thing called love
Talking sweet love

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

Oh, it's just another day until it turns into night
Then the lights get bright and you feel alright
Yeah, just another pair of old cowboy boots
Until you're on that floor and you start to move
Yeah, just another song on that old guitar
Until the old guitar makes you a star

It's just a drop in the bucket 'til the bucket fills up
'Til the bucket fills up it's just a drop in the bucket

Drunk On Love Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Baby take my car keys, put em in your pocket
Lord knows I got no business with them
I been nursin half a beer for half and hour but the whole rooms spinnin

My brain is actin' fuzzy but the vertigo I'm feelin
Got nothing to do with inebriation
That kiss you just handed me, girl, is a staggerin revelation

Baby I never drank that much
To get this high I must be drunk on love
Baby I'm flyin on a stone cold rush
To get this high I must be drunk on love

I been down on my knees before the porcelain throne
Suffered the wrath of the god of Tequila
After dancing on a bar doin' my very best cowboy ballerina - you oughta see it

Baby I never drank that much
To get this high I must be drunk on love
Baby I'm flyin on a stone cold rush
To get this high I must be drunk on love

I built a pyramid of beer cans on a bar top in Austin
Laid to rest in them like some ancient Egyption
I can see well enough to know you're my favorite kind of intervention

Baby I never drank that much
To get this high I must be drunk on love
Baby I'm flyin on a stone cold rush
To get this high I must be drunk on love

Chance Of A Lifetime Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I came staggerin' in, in the middle of the night
I got my alibi sewed up nice & tight
Cracked the bedroom door, I tried to keep it from squeakin'
'Cause I know there's a wildcat in there sleepin'
But the, the light was on & the bed was made
& there's a dear john written on the pillow case

[Chorus]
She said I've gone to the Bahamas
I've had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I'm just a slowin' you down
She said I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah & he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
& baby he's a looker too
She said it was a chance of a lifetime
What was I supposed to do

Oh yeah, I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mess
I had the telephone ringin' & her cat on my chest
I'm wipin' the sleep out of my bloodshot eyes
It's gotta be her callin' to apologize
She must be feelin' bad 'cause she done me wrong
Then I pushed the button on the code-a-phone

[Repeat Chorus]
She said I've gone to the Bahamas
I've had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I'm just a slowin' you down
She said I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah she said he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
& baby he's a looker too
She said it was a chance of a lifetime
What was I supposed to do

Oh & I got the stereo & she got the music
Yeah & I got this washer but I don't know how to use it

[2nd Chorus]
She's gone to the Bahamas
Had it with the drama
Time to get out of town, I'm just a slowin you down
She said I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
Yeah she said, he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
& baby he's a looker too

She said it was a chance of a lifetime
What was I supposed to do
Oh yeah, it was a chance of a lifetime
What was I supposed to do

Maybe you can come get this cat

American Dreamer Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I know a woman
Her husband died and he left her with two little children
So she went back to school and she got a degree in business
Yeah, now she owns one
And she taught those kids you can do anything
With the heart of a true believer
Yeah, she's an American dreamer

And I've got a woman
And she waits for me with the light on 'cause she knows I'm coming
And she talks about babies and building a house in the country
Yeah, where it's sunny
And she's got faith that can do anything
But she'll never know how much I need her
Yeah, she's an American Dreamer

Back in the sixties, well Haggard's in prison
He's thinking about writing a tune
And a guy named Armstrong was crazy enough
To think he could walk on the moon
And a preacher named King, well he had a dream
He believed we could all live as one

And a soldier somewhere is praying for peace
While he's cleaning his gun
American dreamers

And I had a father; he said son if something ain't real
Then you don't even bother
And he wasn't a saint
But, I'd swear the man walked on water
Yeah and he taught me
I ain't just a long-legged hell-raising
Son of a pipelining, honky-tonk singer
Yeah, I'm an American dreamer
I'm an American dreamer

God Must Be Busy Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

That anchorman says they're fighting again
Somewhere in the Middle East
The world prays for peace
There's a single mom, just got laid off
Went and lost her job to foreign hands
In some far away land
Last night in Oklahoma
Some twister took thirteen
And they're praying they find the missing three
God must be busy

That highway sign went from slow ahead
To traffic's dead, thought it couldn't get worse
Then that Amber alert
They say she's four, Colorado plates
Heading out of state in a Chevy van
It's hard to understand
You can see it in the faces
Of all those highway strangers
They're praying that God keeps girl from danger
God must be busy

And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man
I know He's heard my prayers
'Cause He hears everything
He just ain't answered back or He'd bring you back to me
God must be busy

The evening news ain't much changed
Pretty much the same since I left home
Yeah, that war's still on
They found that little girl
She was soaking wet, half scared to death
On the side of some road
Them prayers work ya know

And the blood and the cripes are at it
And there's a killer drought down south
And old folks can't afford the drugs they can't live without
God must be busy

And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man
I know He's heard my prayers
'Cause He hears everything
He just ain't answered back or He'd bring you back to me
God must be busy

That anchorman says the fighting's worse
Cities burn in the Middle East
The world prays for peace

Play Something Country Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Yes, she blew through the door like TNT,
Put her hand on her hip, pointed a finger at me.
Said: "I'm a whiskey drinkin', cowboy chasin', helluva time.
"I like Kenny, Keith, Allan and Patsy Cline.
"I'm a full grown Queen Bee lookin' for honey.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, aw, play somethin' country."

Yeah, the band took a break,
The DJ played P Diddy.
She said: "I didn't come here to hear,
"Somethin' thumpin' from the city."
Said: "I, I shaved my legs, I paid my money.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, aw, play somethin' country."

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot; yelled: "I'm a George Strait junkie.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, aw, play somethin' country."

Yeah, the bartender yelled: "Y'all, it's closin' time."
She got this wild look on her face,
An' said: "Your truck or mine,
"I know a place down the road,
"It's kinda funky.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, all out in the country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, now, play somethin' country."

Crank up the band, play the steel guitar.
Hank it up a little, let's rock this bar.
Threw back a shot; yelled: "I'm a George Strait junkie.
"Ah-ooh-hoo, play somethin' country.
"Ha-ooh-hoo, now, play somethin' country."

She's About As Lonely As I'm Going To Let Her Get Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Oh, off across the room, she sits alone...
Pretty as a picture, sadder than a sad song.
Well, I'll do whatever it takes, try whatever works.
I can't just sit here and watch her hurt.

While she's so sad, while Mr Right did her wrong,
I'll give her one more drink an' a few more songs.
In the bar-room haze, all alone, she sits.
Oh, she's about as lonely as I'm gonna let her get.

Oh, sittin' lonely at the bar tryin' to drown the past.
Starin' at her broken heart at the bottom of a glass.
Oh, I don't want to push it, but I can't take much more.
Think I'm gonna have to step up an' show heartache to the door.

While she's so sad, while Mr Right did her wrong,
I'll give her one more drink an' a few more songs.
In the bar-room haze, all alone, she sits.
Yeah, she's about as lonely as I'm gonna let her get.

[Instrumental break]

Oh, my, my.

My Heart's Not A Hotel Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

When your headlights cut across my wall,
Yeah, I thought it might be you.
Lookin' for a place to fall,
An' talkin' sweet, an' thinkin' small.

Seekin' out convenient arms,
Yeah, to rest in for a while.
Someone to keep you safe an' warm,
While you ride out your latest storm.

Oh, my heart's not a hotel you can check in an' out of...
It's not a, a temporary shelter, it's a home for someone's love.
Don't just come here when you're lonely knowing, full well, you won't stay,
'Cause I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.
Oh, don't let the dawn find me asleep,
On a pillow of regret.
Take all my change, just leave the key,
An' let me keep my dignity.

'Cause my heart's not a hotel you can check in an' out of...
It's not a, a temporary shelter, it's a home for someone's love.
Don't just come here when you're lonely knowing, full well, you won't stay,
'Cause I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.
[Instrumental break]

No don't just come here when you're lonely knowing, full well, you won't stay,
'Cause I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.
I don't have the strength tonight to turn you away.
[Instrumental Close]

Whiskey Do My Talkin' Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I'm not some c'mon strong, Romeo cowboy,
No, I'm not that type.
Without a little help, I'd prob'ly have two left feet.
But you ain't gonna let that happen tonight.
Turn up that jukebox, sit me at the bar.
I promised her the moon, you throw in the stars.

Whiskey, do my talkin',
Say all the things I can't.
Here's to you, my hundred proof friend,
Oh, go on an' do your thing.
She's just a line away from fallin',
Goin' wild, an' honky-tonkin'...
Whiskey, do my talkin'.

I'm better on the street in the broad daylight.
If I could bring myself to speak or get a word out right.
But you put me in a bar-room, you put a drink in my hand...
I'm a cool, calm, collected, silver-tongued ladies man.

Whiskey, do my talkin',
Say all the things I can't.
Here's to you, my hundred proof friend,
Oh, go on an' do your thing.
She's just a line away from fallin',
Goin' wild, an' honky-tonkin'...
Whiskey, do my talkin'.

[Instrumental Break]

Oh, I... tell her all the things I can't.
Here's to you, my hundred proof friend,
Go on an' do your thing.
She's just a line away from fallin',
Goin' wild, an' honky-tonkin'...
Hey.

Whiskey, do my talkin',
Say all the things I can't.
Here's to you, my hundred proof friend,
Oh, go on an' do your thing.
She's just a line away from fallin',
Goin' wild, an' honky-tonkin'...
Whiskey, do my talkin'.

Oh, I.

Hillbilly Deluxe Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Hey, up in the backwoods, down in the holler,
Old boys feelin' like a dog on a collar,
Keepin' that chain pulled tight,
Waitin' on Saturday night.

Put on the smell-good, put on Skynard,
Head into to town like a NASCAR winner.
Cruisin' back an' forth to the Tasty-Freeze.
Everywhere you look, all you see...

Is hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim an' chrome to the bone with a little home grown.
A country girl cuddled up...
Hillbilly deluxe.

Yeah, couple cute sweet things drivin' a fastback.
Shoot 'em a cool smile hopin' that they smile back.
"Hey, Baby, what's you name?"
Burn a little rubber when the red lights change.

Here come the blue lights, here come Barney.
Hide all the beer, y'all, let's move the party.
Gotta go, but that's all right...
Do it all again next Friday night.

Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-'em-up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim an' chrome to the bone with a little home grown.
Country girl cuddled up...
Hillbilly deluxe.

[Instrumental Break]

One More Roll Of The Dice Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

You ain't been thinkin' through, now, have you?
The last thing you need is the thing that you keep comin' back to.
The mem'ries still fresh in your mind.
Aware that you lost with it all on the line.
More than you could justify,
But she gives you that look an' you just gotta try,
One more roll of the dice,
Maybe just one more shot in the dark.
One more chance that your luck might change,
While you still got a little somethin' left in your heart.
She's a game you can play, not game you can win,
But one more roll of the dice an' you're believin' again.
Maybe you're still hangin' onto what it felt like,
The higher the stakes, the bigger the rush when it goes right.
An' when you're a gambler in love,
Havin' it all is never enough.
It's a curse when it gets in your blood.
You're down to your shoes, but you can't give it up.
Yeah, one more roll of the dice,
Maybe just one more shot in the dark.
One more chance that your luck might change,
While you still got a little somethin' left in your heart.
She's a game you can play, not game you can win,
But one more roll of the dice an' you're believin' again.
Yeah, yeah, believin'.
[Instrumental break]
She's a game you can play, not game you can win,
But one more roll of the dice an' you're believin' again,
Yeah, you're believin'.
One more roll of the dice,
(One more roll of the dice.)
Maybe just one more shot in the dark.
(One more shot in the dark.)
One more chance that your luck might change,
(One more chance that your luck might change.)
While you still got a little somethin' left in your heart.
She's a game you can play, not game you can win,
But one more roll of the dice an' you're believin' again.

Just Another Neon Night Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I'm a cool one down at the end of the day.
A little sundown buzz 'n more on the way.
I wash a week's worth of dust off my truck,
While Bobby Earl runs home to get dressed up.

Here comes Clifford... got a forty in a brown bag,
In his pointed-toe boots with a hatman rebel flag.
He's got a Eastwood grin an' a tourist swagger,
Hollerin': "Turn off that rap boys an' bring me some Haggard."

Gettin' drunk, gettin' loud...
Billy throws a punch in the crowd,
Some cowboys lights go out.
Runnin' wild, gettin' high...
Smokin' tires through the lights,
Livin' like we're never gonna die...
It's just another, just another neon night.
We got Ricky an' The Redstreaks playin' down the road.
Oh, it's All Night Ladies Night at the Cotton-Eyed Joe.
JC always gets the girl, Billy's always fightin'.
Poor old Bobby Earl never gets the right one.

Gettin' drunk, gettin' loud...
Billy throws a punch in the crowd,
Some cowboys lights go out.
Runnin' wild, gettin' high...
Smokin' tires through the lights,
Livin' like we're never gonna die...
It's just another, just another neon night.
[Instrumental Break]

Gettin' drunk, gettin' loud...
Billy throws a punch in the crowd,
Some cowboys lights go out.
Runnin' wild, gettin' high...
Smokin' tires through the lights,
Livin' like we're never gonna die...
It's just another,
Oh, neon night.
Neon night.
Neon night.
Neon night.

Believe Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where i grew up
Momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
I spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing

Says he was in the war when in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Broke down and asked him one time
How ya keep from going crazy
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled, said

[Chorus]
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see
Oh i believe

Few years later i was off at college
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said oh by the way son, old man Wrigley's died.

Later on that night, i laid there thinkin' back
Thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody deserved a ticket to the other side
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said

[Chorus]
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see

I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that i live
Yeah, this can't be
No, this can't be
No, this can't be all there is

[Chorus]
When I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see
I believe
Oh, I
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe

Building Bridges Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Since you've gone, my heart said something's wrong.
How long can this keep goin' on?
I'm still blue over losin' you.
What else am I gonna do?

I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
An' all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

Talk to me, talk to me about sympathy.
Don't leave me beggin' on my knees.
Since you've gone, my heart says something's wrong.
How long can this keep goin' on?

I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

[Instrumental Break]

I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

I'm buildin' bridges, (I'm buildin' bridges.)
Straight to your heart,
And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
Won't keep us apart.

(I'm buildin' bridges.)
Straight to your heart.
Whoa, I,
Whoa I, I'm buildin' bridges,
Straight to your heart.

Her West Was Wilder Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

There's a picture of us in a bar, out in California,
Eatin' fish Tacos an' drinkin' cold, cold beer.
An' man we had the time of our lives...
Yes, that was a very good year.
Drove all the way up the coast of California,
All the way the 101.
One time we cruised all the way to Vancouver,
Just to watch the settin' sun, yeah,
Just to watch the settin' sun.

Every time I looked in those far away eyes,
I could see me gettin' left behind.
I gave her my best,
But her west was wilder than mine.
Got lost in the desert an' found an Indian casino,
An' she started rollin' those nines.
Stackin' up the chips halfway to Heaven,
Without even tryin'.
We watched it all go at the roulette wheel.
She let it all ride on the black.
She said: "You can't keep what you never had.
"Can't keep what you never had."

Laugh like the devil, howl at the moon...
I knew I was losin' my mind.
I gave her my best,
But her west was wilder than mine.
[Instrumental break]

An' I was gassin' up in a dust storm outside of Sedona...
She was chasin' a tumbleweed.
She flagged down a Kenwood, jumped in the cab.
It was the last of her I'd ever see.
It was the last of her I'd ever see.

An' where the wild wind blows an' anything goes,
As long as it's over the line.
I gave her my best,
But her west was wilder than mine.
It was wilder than mine.
There's a picture of us sin a bar, out in California,
Eatin' fish Tacos an' drinkin' cold, cold beer.

I May Never Get Over You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Not that long ago, seems like yesterday,
We were caught up in love... we were swept away.
Seems like overnight from out of the blue,
Something went wrong between me an' you.

Oh, I'll move on, I'll be strong...
Do what I have to do.
No matter where you are, you'll always have my heart...
I may never get over you.

A hopeless dream's insanity...
I'm just a fool with a fantasy.
I close my eyes, I feel your touch,
Just as real as it ever was.

I'll move on, I'll be strong...
Do what I have to do.
No matter where you are, you're always on my heart...
I may never get over you.

[Instrumental break]

Yeah, I'll move on, I'll be strong...
Do what I have to do.
No matter where you are, you're always on my heart...
I may never get over you.

She Likes To Get Out Of Town Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Lookin' at her 'phone; desk tappin' her feet.
Kinda girl your Mamma likes to meet.
A Sunday school dress cuttin' up tight.
When the weekend comes, she's like a red tail-light.

She likes to get out of town.
Yeah, she likes to get out of town.
She's got a little red ragtop she just bought.
Just forty-five minutes from her two days off...
She's watchin' the clock just a-countin' it down...
That girl likes to get out of town, mm.

She's got a little glove box with everything she needs.
Got some red lipstick an' some multi-color beads.
Got some party girlfriends like to keep it unwound.
That girl likes to get out of town.

She likes to get out of town.
Yeah, yeah, she likes to get out of town. (Ooh yeah.)
They got a motel room with a single bed...
Just a-singin' down the road goin' out of their heads.
Gonna turn it on up, time to party on down.
That girl likes to get out of town.

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah, yeah, my, my.
Big front's closed, says the city limits sign.
Yeah, yeah, do tell...
Tell this little angel... don't raise a little L L L L.

She's got a second cousin that keeps her on the 'phone.
Got an ex-boyfriend that won't leave her alone.
Oh, but it won't hurt 'em what they don't know.
What goes on the road stays on the road.

She likes to get out of town. (Yeah, yeah.)
Yeah, she likes to get out of town. (Ooh yeah.)
She was born to shake it an' it's not her fault.
But the competition just loves to talk.
She's so tired of them puttin' her down.
That girl likes to get out of town. (That girl.)

She likes to get out of town. (Yeah, yeah.)
Yeah, she likes to get out of town. (Ooh yeah.)
It's time to crank it on up, time to party on down.
That girl likes, (That girl.)
That girl likes to get out of town. (That girl.)
(Get out of town.)
Yeah, she likes to get out of town. (Yeah, yeah.)
Gonna crank it on, crank it.
(Ooh yeah now.)
