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
