"Hard Workin' Man" (1993)

Hard Workin' Man Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I'm a hard workin' man
I wear a steel hard hat
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint
Do things with my hands that most men can't
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try
I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by

Got everything I own
By the sweat of my brow
From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots
I owe it all to my blue collar roots
I feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train
I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain

[Chorus:]
I'm a hard, hard workin man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin'
Is to outrun the wind

Come Friday night
I like to party hard
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty
Come Monday mornin' I'm the first to arrive
I ain't nothin' but business from nine till five

[Repeat chorus]

I can't wait to get up in the mornin'
And do it all over again
Well I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man

We'll Burn That Bridge Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Hello Miss Heartbroke
Sit your sweet self down
It's good to see your dancin' feet back out on the town
Rumor has it you've had trouble with your man
I've had trouble of my own, I think I understand

[Chorus:]
We'll put out your old flame
We'll build a bigger fire
I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher
And if his memory comes around
And you think you still care
We'll burn that bridge when we get there

Come on let your hair down we'll have us a time
He had his chance with you now all I want is mine
Give me half an hour or just a dance or two
And you'll forget old what's his name and how he walked out on you

[Repeat chorus twice]

We'll burn that bridge when we get there
Burn it down baby

Mexican Minutes Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Up in the city it's crazy and concrete cold
Living life at the speed of light leaves dark in your soul
When every minute's got a heart attack in it
It's time to leave it alone
So I don't think we're gonna beat this postcard home

We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border
Feeling too good to care why
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
As the days goes by

We're dropping our worries
And pickin up Espanol
Down here the sunsets are red
The tequila is gold
Life is sublime here on Mexican time
They've got something we need to learn
If we don't show for a while
Don't be concerned

We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border
Feeling too good to care why
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
As the days goes by

We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border
Feeling too good to care why
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
As the days goes by

These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
As the days go by

Heartbroke Out Of My Mind Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Well I'm flyin' high and feelin' low
Drinkin' hard and dancin' slow
I'm gonna shine my buckle to George Jones
Heartaches are hot on my heels, bartender the race is on

She's gone for good and I'm goin' to town
I'm gonna live it up, ya livin' her down
Jose pick me up and get me on my feet
So I can scoot a boot to that two-four jukebox beat

I'm heartbroke out of my mind
Pardon me boys if I get a little out of line
It's just temporary insanity
Till I get over what she did to me
I'll be heartbroke out of my mind

B.Y.O.T
I brought my own trouble tonight
I'm gonna get this bein' done wrong down right
Ya saddle me up boys I'm goin' in
They say when you fall off, well climb right back up again

I'm heartbroke out of my mind
Pardon me boys if I get a little out of line
It's just temporary insanity
Till I get over what she did to me
I'll be heartbroke out of my mind

It's just temporary insanity
Till I get over what she did to me
I'll be heartbroke out of my mind
Oh I'm just heartbroke out of my mind

She Used To Be Mine Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

She looked so good movin' 'cross the dance floor
Better than the day she left me
Arm in arm with somebody new
Holdin' hands and laughin' like we used to
I got my best smile on, but it's no disguise
It don't hide the pain in these eyes

I did her so wrong, for so long
Turned my back on her love, now she's long gone
I did my part, to break her heart
She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
She used to be mine
Oh, she used to be mine

It's taken every bit of strength that I have
To keep a hurt look off of my face
I can't keep from lookin' back over my shoulder
At the lucky man takin' my place
Oh, if it weren't for my pride, I'd probably take off runnin'
Guess what I'm feelin', is what I got comin'

I did her so wrong, for so long
Turned my back on her love, now she's long gone
I did my part, to break her heart
She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
She used to be mine
Oh, she used to be mine

I did her so wrong, for so long
Turned my back on her love, now she's long gone
I did my part, to break her heart
She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
She used to be mine
Oh, she used to be mine

Oh, she used to be mine,
She used to be mine

Rock My World (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
Looking 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 snakeskin boots made by Calvin Klein
And 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

[Chorus:]
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

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

[Repeat chorus]

Rock my world little Country girl

That Ain't No Way To Go Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Lipstick letters across the mirror this morning
Said, "Goodbye, baby." You left with no warning
Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart
I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream
You always said we had a good thing
You never once let on we were falling apart

That ain't no way to go. Girl, it just ain't right
Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
That ain't no way to go. Was it all a lie
After all this time, that ain't no way to go

Getting nowhere, I'm tired of thinking
Guess I'll do a little wishful dreaming
And make a whiskey wish upon a star
Train whistle blowing down the tracks
Lonesome sound says she ain't coming back
It's such a cold blow from out of the dark

That ain't no way to go. Girl, it just ain't right
Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
That ain't no way to go. Was it all a lie
After all this time, that ain't no way to go

Texas Women (Don't Stay Lonely Long) Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Well I'll bet by the time I get to Tulsa
She'll be pullin' on them tight blue jeans
She'll go down to Cowboy's, buy herself a cold one
And on a Friday night in Dallas, she's a cowboy's dream
Something tells me she'll sit out the first one
Then they'll play George Strait and she'll be gone
Cause heaven knows that girl was born to two-step
And Texas women don't stay lonely long

It's a fact that women like the one I left
Can find somebody else, any time they want
It's a shame, but I'm afraid the one I love
She don't like waiting much
Texas women don't stay lonely long

I'd sure like to think she'd wait forever
Welcome me back in with open arms
But she don't walk the floor, she don't count the teardrops
And she don't pick up pieces from no broken heart
I wish I could call and say I'm sorry
But there's nobody sitting by the phone
You know she meant it when she told me that she loved me
But Texas women don't stay lonely long

It's a fact that women like the one I left
Can find somebody else, any time they want
It's a shame, but I'm afraid the one I love
She don't like waiting much
Texas women don't stay lonely long

It's a fact that women like the one I left
Can find somebody else, any time they want
It's a shame, but I'm afraid the one I love
She don't like waiting much
Texas women don't stay lonely long

Our Time Is Coming Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Times are hard and the money's tight
Day to day we fight that fight
Nothing new, it's the same old grind
Uphill all the way

Boss man says forget the raise
Preacher says to keep the faith
Good things come to those who wait
Tomorrow's another day

Our time is coming
When or where the good Lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road we're on will turn to a street of gold

Long as we keep love alive
Something tells me we'll survive
It's the little things that'll get us by
And hold us together

I feel it when you hold me close
Baby we got more than most
Steady through the highs and lows
We'll go on forever

Our time is coming
When or where the good Lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road we're on will turn to a street of gold

When this road we're on will turn to a street of gold

I Can't Put Out This Fire Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Seems like every time I call you
I'm standing in the pouring rain
I had another falling out with love
I'm back out on the streets again
I could us a cup of coffee
But I guess I better pass this time
But you could do an old friend a favor
While I'm still on the line

I know you said it's over
But this old heart's still burning with desire
So tell me one more time
You don't love me anymore
You gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire

It's good to hear your voice again
I can almost see your smile
It's good to talk about old times
If only for a little while
Guess I'll go on back to my place
There's not much else for me to do
I wish that I could close my eyes
Without dreaming of you

I know you said it's over
But this old heart's still burning with desire
So tell me one more time
You don't love me anymore
You gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire

Oh you gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire
No, no, you gotta help me girl
I can't put out this fire

Boot Scootin' Boogie (Club Mix) Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Out in the country
Past the city limits sign
Well there's a honky tonk
Near the county line
The joint starts jumpin' every night
When the sun goes down
They got whiskey, women music and smoke
It's where all the cowboy folk
Go to boot scootin' boogie

I've got a good job
I work hard for my money
When it's quittin' time
I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck
And let the horses run
I go flyin' down the highway
To that hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods
To do the boot scootin' boogie

Yeah, heel, toe, docie do
Come on baby, let's go boot scootin'
Oh Cadillac, Blackjack, baby meet me out back
We're gonna boogie
Oh, get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin' boogie

The bartender asks me
Says, "Son what'll it be?"
I want a shot at that redhead yonder
Lookin' at me
The dance floor's hoppin'
And it's hotter than the Fourth of July
I see outloaws, inlaws, crooks and straights
All out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie

Yeah, heel, toe, docie do
Come on baby, let's go boot scootin'
Oh Cadillac, Blackjack, baby meet me out back
We're gonna boogie
Oh, get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin' boogie

"Brand New Man" (1991)

Brand New Man Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

[Chorus:]
I saw the light
I've been baptised
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Well the whole town's talking
'Bout the line I'm walking
That leads right to your door
Oh how I used to roam
I was a rolling stone

I used to have a wild side
They say a country-mile-wide
I'd burn those beer joints
down
That's all changed now
You turned my life around

[Repeat Chorus]

I used to love 'em and leave
'em
I'd brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me
down
Then I met you
Now my heart beats true

Baby you and me together
Feels more like forever
Than anything I've ever
known
We're right on track
I ain't looking back

[Repeat Chorus 3 times]

I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

My Next Broken Heart Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

You picked me up, you shot
me down
You're stepping out all over
town
Drove me back to drinking in
this bar
I found myself a brand new
friend
I'm headed that road again
Working on my next broken
heart

Happy or sad, it's hard to tell
You taught me how to hurt
so well
But when it comes to love
I know my part
I'll play this game that I can't
win
I'll be somebody's fool again
Working on my next broken
heart

I thought all along you'd
Be the death of me
I met one tonight who wants
What's left of me
I've seen that look before
She'll tear my world apart
I'm working on my next
broken heart

I thought all along you'd
Be the death of me
I met one tonight who wants
What's left of me
I've seen that look before
She'll tear my world apart
I'm working on my next
broken heart

I'm working on my next
broken heart
I'm working on my next
broken heart

Cool Drink Of Water Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I bought my girl a diamond, it was our engagement ring
She took it to a pawn shop, like it didn't mean a thing
She went right out and bought herself
A brand new party dress
She'll be looking good tonight
When we go out I guess

She's a cool drink of water
She's done hocked the ring I bought her
She might be the devil's daughter
But she's a cool drink of water

I took her to a night club, where we used to go a lot
The beer is cold and frosty and the band is blazing hot
I went back for a refill
And this guy walked up and said
There's a blonde out on the dance floor
Turning everybody's head

She's a cool drink of water
And I should run yes, I probably oughta
She might be the devil's daughter
But she's a cool drink of water

Well I'd had on too many, so she took my keys to drive
She said we'll have more fun tonight if we get home alive
Well that copper clocked her doing ninety in a twenty zone
But she didn't get a ticket
Just the number to his phone

She's a cool drink of water
And that ole cop really thinks he caught her
He just met the devil's daughter
She's a cool, cool drink of water

She's a cool drink of water
And I should run yes, I probably oughta
She might be the devil's daughter
But she's a cool drink of water

Cheating On The Blues Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

He left you - she left me
Drowning in this misery
We stopped living
When they said goodbye
We've been faithful to these blues
But I've had enough - now how about you
Don't you think we've earned the right
To go cheating on the blues tonight
Cheating on the blues tonight
Let's go out and do it right
Throw it into overdrive
And get on down the road
Shake it till the break of dawn
Party till the heartache's gone
We'll have us a real good time
Cheating on the blues tonight

Pick you up at half past eight
You can bet I won't be late
With any luck we'll make the dance by nine
We won't talk about the past
Let old memories die at last
Have some fun - keep it light
Cheating on the blues tonight

[CHORUS]

Neon Moon Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

When the sun goes down
On my side of town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
The whole world turns blue

There's a rundown bar
Cross the railroad tracks
I've got a table for two
Way in the back
Where I sit alone
And think of losing you

I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of this neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

I think of two young lovers
Running wild and free
I close my eyes
And sometimes see
You in the shadows
Of this smoke-filled room

No telling how many tears
I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That I've lied
Telling my poor heart
She'll come back someday
Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

The jukebox plays on
Drink by drink
The words of every sad song
Seem to say what I think
This hurt inside of me
Ain't never gonna end

Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon

Lost And Found Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I lost her trail on a Friday night
She was gone before I got home
She'd been getting restless
In that big house all alone
I've been up and down these city streets
For three nights in a row
And lord it's hard to find that girl
When she gets the urge to go

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon

And I know she'll be coming back
Her car is waiting right outside
But, I don't want to think about
Who's taking her for a ride
And her unpredictability
Is what I love about her best

Lord I've got to find her quick
Before she does something I regret

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon

She's out there somewhere
Burnin up the night
Somehow I've got to run her down
I'm running out of time

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon

I've Got A Lot To Learn Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

These honky tonks and bright lights
Used to thrill me
I'd paint the town and stumble in at down
But now there's no one listening for my footsteps
It's winding down to one more night alone

I thought I had her wrapped around my finger
I didn't think this bridge would ever burn
I always thought she'd take me back
But she taught me the cold hard fact
When it comes to love I've got a lot to learn

It never crossed my mind that she might leave me
She did her best to love me till the end
If she were here I know I'd treat her better
But I won't ever get that chance again

Boot Scootin' Boogie Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Out in the country past the city limits sign
Well there's a honky tonk near the county line
The joint starts jumpin everynight when the sun goes down
They got whiskey women music & smoke
It's where all the country folk go to boot scootin' boogie

I've got a good job I work hard for my money
When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck & let the horses run
I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie


Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

The bartender asks me says son what'll it be

The dance floors hoppin' & it's hotter than the fourth of July

Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

I'm No Good Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I got whiskey to keep me warm when the sun goes down
And this God forsaken honky tonk ain't likely to run out
So won't you come on home and save me
Stop me before I drown
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama
When you're not around
And there's women in this town whispering in my ear
Saying things a man in my condition likes to hear
So won't you come on home and stop me
Before I step on out
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama
When you're not around

Well I'm helpless when I'm tempted
And I'm headed straight for hell
Oh I've got no resistance

The Devil knows me well
So won't you come on home sweet darlin'
Oh Lord I need you now
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama
When you're not around

Now there's a southbound
Callin' me further down the track
And if I get on board that train
Well I'm never coming back
So won't you meet me at the station
And tie my boot heels down
Cause I'm no good, pretty mama

When you're not around

Still In Love With You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

My taxicab's waiting
Wish I could hold you one last time
After all we had together
There's gotta be a better way
Of telling you goodbye

If I had a horse
I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings, I'd fly off
In the sky so blue
If I had the time, I'd spend my
Whole life dreaming
But I'd wake up, still in love with you

Be in Baton Rouge by morning
Hope your missing me by then
I'd like to be the kind of memory
That makes you want to take me back
In your arms again

If I had a horse
I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings, I'd fly off
In the sky so blue
If I had the time, I'd spend my
Whole life dreaming
But I'd wake up, still in love with you

Some night when you get lonely
Will you still remember me

If I had a horse
I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings, I'd fly off
In the sky so blue
If I had the time, I'd spend my
Whole life dreaming
But I'd wake up, still in love with you

Honky Tonk Stomp Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Telly Man, standin' on a band stand, grand standin'
Bendin' and bangin' them strings
Eye-candy shakin' on the dance floor
Sayin', "Play me one more", makin' a scene

Cowboy camped on a bar stool
Shootin' double whiskey with a longneck back
And Billy with a pool cue, staring down an eight ball
Lookin' at Kelly with a rack

Out in the country, back roads and one-horse towns
We saw fiddles, play our guitars loud
We talk the talk, and walk the walk
To the Honky Tonk Stomp

Yeah, pickups in the parking lot
Rockin' like a jukebox, jumpin' in the July air
Cooler in the tool box, drinkin' every last drop
Won't let you take it in there

Whiskey high, two dudes stumblin' out the back door
Bouncers help 'em take it outside
Through the fussin' and the cussin' and the shovin' and the pushin'
Well, there really ain't much of a fight

Out in the country, back roads and one-horse towns
We saw fiddles, play our guitars loud
We talk the talk, and walk the walk
To the Honky Tonk Stomp

Out in the country, back roads and one-horse towns
We saw fiddles, play our guitars loud
We talk the talk, and walk the walk
To the Honky Tonk Stomp

Indian Summer Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

The tall weeds lay flat down
On the hard flat Kansas ground.
And a sad song in her head,
Kept goin' round.

She barely even knew his name,
But she liked the way he played the game.
Everybody cheered,
When he scored that last touchdown...

Indian Summer,
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder.
Indian Summer.

Tangled in a moment of truth.
Bottle of wine in a motel room.
Blue haze circled 'round
The cold gray moon.

While the wind chased the leaves outside.
Passion found a place to hide.
Late September heat,
Couldn't be denied.

Oh Indian Summer,
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder.
Indian Summer.

She never even finished school.
People like to talk, they can be so cruel.
Her California was a place,
To start brand new.

So she left that dust bowl town.
Sometimes when the lone wind howls.
I wonder where we'd be,
If i never scored that last
Touchdown.

Summer.
The wonder,
The hunger,
And the sound of distant thunder.
Indian Summer.

Oh woah!

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.
