Again Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Ain't it funny, the turns life puts you through.
Don't know what's round the bend,
Man, you don't know where it's leadin' you.
Close your eyes, say a prayer, take it on the chin.
It's a dawn sun, comes back again.

Baby, I thought that love was over and gone forever...
Never gonna come back to me.
Never gonna hold me again.
But your love pounds in my heart like thunder,
Flashes through me like lightning,
Making me believe again.

Don't know what I'm supposed to say.
Ain't got a clue 'bout what I need to do.
All I know is I feel right here,
Right now, here with you.

Baby, I thought that love was over and gone forever...
Never gonna come back to me.
Never gonna hold me again.
But your love pounds in my heart like thunder,
Flashes through me like lightning,
Making me believe..

Baby, I thought that love was over and gone forever...
Never gonna come back to me.
Never gonna hold me again.
But your love pounds in my heart like thunder,
Flashes through me like lightning,
Making me believe again.
oh, oh, oh.
Makin' me believe again.

You Can't Take The Honky Tonk Out Of The Girl Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Connie came back for her second cousin's wedding
First time she'd been home in a year or two
Just in time for the rehearsal dinner
that crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes

[Chorus]
She lives in L.A. she flies to New York City
That woman's been around the world
You can take the girl out of the honky tonk
But you can't take the honky tonk, take the honky tonk ..out of the girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Well the dinner broke up at around 11:30
Boys went out to do what boys do
and Connie said hey girls lets huddle up
Around something 'bout a hundred proof

[Repeat Chorus]

Well at nine a.m. out in front of that church
People are going nuts looking for the groom
And sombody says hey Bonnie by the way where is Connie
She's run off with that boy to Cancun

[Repeat Chorus]

Caroline Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

My darling, I have wronged you
Down the devil's path I have roamed
Regret, sadness and sorrow
Now in my soul have found a home

[Chorus]
My Sweet Caroline
From your loving arms I've strayed
In your heart may you find
Forgiveness I pray
A fool to temptation
I surely played
I come to you for salvation
Have mercy in love's name

[Repeat Chorus]

The chilling cry of sin's wrath
Sounds like thunder through my head
I find no rest now no comfort
In a cold dark lonely bed

[Repeat Chorus (2x)]

When We Were Kings Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Tommy got off at the Texaco
Came bustin' in to Norma's Cafe
Said come on man we gotta go
You know how those party girls hate to wait
Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer
Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car
Radio never came in too clear
So I'd hang out one on my piece of junk guitar

[Chorus]
Yeah we ruled from the blacktop
To the levee where the party never stopped
Yeah there was power in the night
The spirit was alive
When we would sing
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
When we were kings

Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name
I turned around, he said what do ya think
Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen
He kissed her hand and took another drink
I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy
She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones
I couldn't let that chance go by
Yeah I sang her "You Can't Always Get What you Want"

[Repeat Chorus]

That was the fall of '65
I guess Uncle Same was hedging his bet
Tommy's number cam up he said "Hey, I'll be Fine"
"I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget"
Angel and I went to wave goodbye
I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again
You know I took her out a couple of times
We always just wound up talkin' 'bout him

[Repeat Chorus]
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
Shan na na na na na na na
Shan na na na na na na na

That's What She Gets For Loving Me Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

She said what she wants is a man to be faithful
A true heart somebody willin' and able
To stay by her side through thick and thin
A tender touch every now and then

She's not hung up on fairy tales
Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin' well
Fancy cars or diamond rings
What she wants most are the little things

[Chorus]
That's what she gets
That's what she gets
That's what she gets for loving me

At times I lay awake at night
Stare at her laying by my side
Knowin' there in her heart as she sleeps
She can forever count on me

[Repeat Chorus]

Whatever turns her on
I'm here to do it
Till the day they write my name in stone
I'll live to prove it

[Repeat Chorus (2x)]

Red Dirt Road Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I was raised off of old Route 3
Out past where the blacktop ends
We'd walked to church on Sunday morning
Race barefoot back to the Johnson's fence
That's where I first saw Mary
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
Down that red dirt road

It's where I drank my first beer
It's where I found Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
I tore it all to pieces
I learned the path to heaven is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on earth ain't just for high achievers
I've learned I've come to know
There's life at both ends
Of that red dirt road

Her daddy didn't like me much
With my shackled up GTO
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
Throw rocks at her bedroom window
We'd turn out the headlights
Drive by the moonlight
Talk about what the future might hold
Down a red dirt road

I went out into the world, and I came back in
I lost Mary, oh I got her back again
And driving home tonight feels like I've found a long lost friend

Feels Good Don't It Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

What's it like girl
To have somebody love you
With a love
Too good to be true
You oughta know
Feels good don't it

How bout those lonely nights
You used to pray
Something like this
Would come your way
Thank your lucky stars
Lucky's what we are
Feels good don't it

Some people go through life
Never knowing
What love is
Or where it's going
Me and you girl we just walked up on it
Feels good don't it

You and me girl
We're one of life's little wonders
We go together
Like lightning and thunder
Sky-high
On fire
Feels good, don't it

I Used To Know This Song By Heart Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I sat down to say it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't play it
And it tore me all apart

The bell I tried to ring it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't sing it
And I used to know this song by heart

[Chorus]
I sued to sing this song to you
For days and days
In so many different manners
In so many different ways
I used to think this dream we had
Could never come apart
And I used to know this song by heart

[Repeat Chorus]

So when I sat down to say it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't play it
And it tore me all apart

The bell I tried to ring it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't sing it
And I used to know this song by heart

Believer Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

What do I do to make you love me
Baby, like I love you
Why do you keep the key to your heart
Behind a door I can't get through

[Chorus]
I have faith
I hide my time
I'll be all right
I'll be fine
I'm a believer in love

Like a fool playin' with fire
While my flame burns alone
Like a slave to blind desire
Oh I keep hangin' on

[Repeat Chorus]

Somday you'll feel in my kiss
What I do in yours
So wait to see in your eyes
That light I'm looking for

[Repeat Chorus]

I pray
For a sign
Live for the day
You'll be min
I'm a believer in love
I believe in love

Memory Town Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

There's a house down on the corner with the porch light on
And a window I can look in and see you're always home
Waiting for me with the lights low in your silk night gown
Somewhere on the outskirts of memory town

Past the stoplight there's a desert where my Coupe Deville
Roars down a lonely highway and it always will
The wind is in your hair and we're nowhere to be found
Two spirits on the boulevard of memory town

[Chorus]
I can pull the shades and feel your lips they're touching mine again
I can watch the shadows of the moon slow dance across your skin
Hold you in a place where lovers never say goodbye
Every moment comes alive, when I go down to memory town

Round the corner there's an ocean where the waves roll in
And a feeling that you only feel when love begins
We lie together in the sand and watch the sun go down
I close my eyes and smell the warm salt air in memory town

[2nd Chorus]
I can pull the shades and feel your lips they're touching mine again
I can watch the shadow of the moon slow dance across your skin
Hold you in a place where lovers never say good-bye
Every moment comes alive, every time I close my eyes and go back down to memory town

There's a house down on the corner with the porch light on
A window I can look and see you're always home
Waiting for me with the light low in your silk night gown
Somewhere on the outskirts of memory town

Take me down
To memory town

She Was Born To Run Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

She said goodbye to her daddy while her mamma cried
I kept the motor runnin' in my car outside
She kissed him on the cheek, daddy's little girl
Then a woman walked out to take on the world

Through red taillights and a cloud of dust
We went flyin' through the night, it was all about us
Sittin' on the seat right next to me, we drove with a tank full of destiny

[Chorus]
She was born to run
She was born to run
She was born to run born to run to me

With a new world waitin' down the road up ahead
Passion runnin' wild through our hearts and heads
With everything we owned packed in the backseat
We had each other, that was all we needed

They all called me crazy, said she'd never settle down
I was just her ticket, her ticket out of town
But it looks like that night fate proved 'em wrong
'Cause she's been mine, mine all along

[Repeat Chorus]

It's been years now and I never doubted
Somewhere, somehow we'd make through
She's still here, no two ways about it
Her heart's still mine and her love's still true

She was born to run
Was the Master's plan
Born to run
Put her heart in my hand
Born to run born to run to me
[Repeat]

Till My Dyin' Day Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Sometimes I think about how lucky I am
To live where I do, to be what I can
And to know that you're mine when I'm holding you close
And to never forget
What matters the most
I'm gonna run with the wind behind me
Have fun when the sun is shining
Stop when the world reminds me
Got to take the time to pray

[Chorus]
Fight for the right to be free
Smile at what my children might be
Live with you beside me
Oh, till my dyin' day

As long as we are here, you know I'll always be there
If we're down to nothing we've still, sill got so much to share
I know I've been givin' way more than I deserve
I'm gonna live every day like it was my last
Baby, I'll always put you first

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm gonna walk on the road less traveled
Yeah, sit tall in the saddle
Know when I pick my battles
Not to be afraid

Fight for the right to be free
Smile at what my children might be
And live with you beside me
Till my dyin' day

[Repeat Chorus]

My Baby's Everything I Love Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

My baby's like a honky tonk
Open all night, make you feel right
Gets me going, got me buzzing like a neon light
Knock you out like a punch in a barroom fight
My baby's like a smooth shot of whiskey
Make you feel warm, kinda make you feel dizzy
Can't get my fill, I can't get enough
My baby's everything I love

My baby's like a Coupe Deville
Fast motor burnin' comin' over the hill
Oh what a ride, oh what a thrill
Drive all night with my hands on the wheel
My baby's like a trip to town
Radio up, top pulled down
Can't get my fill, I can't get enough
My baby's everything I love

She's all I need in one tight package
Got a spell on me, works like magic
I'm after her like a hound on a rabbit
She's got it all and I got to have it

My baby's like a country song
Dancin' through my head playin' all night long
Plays me like a fiddle, get me singin' along
Well, I can't turn off what she turns on
My baby's like a jukebox rocking
Got the guitars ringing and the big bass poppin'
Can't get my fill, I can't get enough
My baby's everything I love

Nothing but the good stuff
My baby's everything I love

Good Day To Be Me Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Some folks call me crazy my momma call me 'hon
And depending on the mood your in, I might be either one
Hey, I get up and I go to work and I got to work some more
When I get home I take it off and I throw it on the floor

[Chorus]
I'm a country boy and I'm a rockin' roller
Like a little crown in my Coca-Cola
Say a little prayer for all the soldiers
Fightin' for the USA
I never was captain of the football team
You ain't never been a prom queen
It's just us and that's ok
If I got you well it's a good day
Good day to be me

You weren't wearin' makeup baby on the nigh you said we would
It's the funny things that I remember when I'm feelin' good
A dollar in my pocket and a catfish on the line
A song about a simple love that's stronger than the pines

[Repeat Chorus]

When I see ol' glory wavin' when the music starts
I take my hat off of my head and put it on my heart

[Repeat Chorus]

If I got you well it's a good day, baby
Good day to be me
If I got you well it's a good day, baby

Good Cowboy Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Say things to me like a cowgirl would
I'll do tricks for you like a cowboy should
You look romantic layin' in the hay
I need you tonight in a new kinda way
When you look at me with those eyes
It makes me start to fantasize
Do it to me like I know you could
So I can do it to you baby like a Cowboy should

Ridin' the range I think of you
I dig your chili you know it's true
Make big money put it in the bank
That longhorn caddy got a great big tank

You're the kinda woman who's above the rest
Nothing for me but the best
You say you need a fella who really can
Do it you good like a cowboy man

Got a massive wardrobe of cowboy clothes
From the top of my head to the tip of my toes
Ah, you look so good in my hat with fringe on it
So put on my boots hmmm doggone it

Do it to me baby like I now you can
And I can do it to you honey like a good cowboy should

Holy War Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

[Chorus]
Some say a holy war is comin'
Gonna be the end of mortal man
There's a TV preacher sayin'
Armageddon is at hand
Sayin' the Jews, the Gays, the Junkies
The Politicians and Infidels
Have conjured up the devil
Upon the gates of hell

I turn on the TV
Lord I can't believe my eyes
Oh Terror walks the streets
While a million mothers cry
Christians pray to Jesus
Lord help us if you can
Send Gabriel and his legions
To defend his promised land

[Chorus]

All it's prophets lead
While the blind sheep they follow
The path to damnation with no future no tomorrow
Justice she may be blind
Tall and proud she marches on
Judgment day is coming
God himself wrote that in stone

They say a holy war is comin'
Gonna be the end of mortal man
There's a TV preacher sayin'
Armageddon is at hand
They said fire rained down from Heaven
On the towers of Babylon
Oh the innocent the sinners
They all died as one

Now victory will be mine
All feeble and good say
But in the end and in its own way
Righteousness will have it's way

[Repeat Chorus (2x)]

Winter Wonderland Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down
through the night
Two hearts are thrillin' in spite of the
chill in weather
Love knows no season
Love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open
We're walkin' and hopin' together

[Chorus]
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No, man"
But you can do the job while you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

[Repeat Chorus]

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

[Repeat Chorus]

Hangin' 'Round The Mistletoe Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Snowy days and frosty nights
Everything looks cold and white
Hangin' round the mistletoe
Hangin' round the mistletoe

Christmas Day will soon be here
And everybody's full of cheer
Hangin' round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you dear

Well, I've waited all year long
Now the year is almost gone
Hangin' round the mistletoe
Hangin' round the mistletoe

But if that's what I got to do
Just to get a kiss from you
I'm hangin' round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you dear

Christmas is a special time
To give and to receive
For every little kiss you give me
I will give you three

You ain't gonna miss one kiss
That's one thing you'll never miss
I'm hangin' round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you dear

I've had my eyes on you
For a long, long time
So I'm asking Santa please
Make that pretty girl mine

I've waited till I'm cold and blue
Just to get a kiss from you
Hangin' round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you dear

Hangin' round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you dear

It Won't Be Christmas Without You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Tree's in the corner, the fire's burnin' bright.
Shadows are dancin' in the pale candlelight.
Life should be a rainbow, but it's blue:
It won't be Christmas without you.

I wrapped up all your presents,
Wrote my name on every card.
I just can't help it, baby,
Takin' this so hard.
You tell me: what's a man to do?
'Cause it won't be Christmas without you.

I stare into the flames: all I see is your face.
All this joy an' happiness seems so out of place.
As far as I'm concerned, it's just a day I must get through.
But it won't be Christmas without you.

Oh, I wrapped up all your presents,
Wrote my name on every card.
I just can't help it, baby,
I'm takin' this so hard.
You tell me: what's a man to do?
It won't be Christmas without you.

Oh, I wrapped up all your presents,
Wrote my name on every card.
I just can't help it, baby,
I'm takin' this so hard.
You tell me: what's a man to do?
It won't be Christmas without you.

It won't be Christmas without you.

Rockin' Little Christmas Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I wrote a letter to Santa last night
Told him what I want to make my Christmas right
If I don't get it, I'm gonna be blue
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you

I don't want no tinker toys
Don't wanna waste my time drinkin' with the boys
There's only one thing that I wanna do
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you

[Chorus]
I want a rockin' little Christmas
Rockin' little Christmas
If I get my wishes
It's gonna be delicious
A stockin' full of love for two

Well, I've been a good boy all year
I deserve a little Christmas cheer
I want your arms around me the whole night through
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you

Tell me baby what's it gonna be
Where you gonna spend your Christmas Eve
Will I be merry or will I be blue
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you

Blue Christmas Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when the blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue Christmas

You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Santa's Coming Over To Your House Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

It seemed like just another Christmas Eve
The kids had left some milk and cookies to eat
We cuddled up and read "The Night Before Christmas" again
I headed down for one more holiday snack
I saw this fat man with a pack on his back
Call me crazy but there's toys and stuff all over the den

[Chorus]
Santa's coming over to your house
Christmas coming down the line
Santa's coming over to your house
I know 'cause he just left mine

He left a Barbie and a video game
He filled the stockings with the red candy canes
He hid a skateboard and a football up under the tree
I heard him holler and he pulled out of sight
"A Merry Christmas and to all a good night"
I know what you're thinking
But I'm telling you, ya got to believe

[Repeat Chorus]

The Christmas Song Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Ev'rybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas to you"
"Merry Christmas to you"

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I just came back from a lovely trip
Along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole
To spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his big workshop
And told his plans to me. So,

[Chorus]
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake,
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

[Repeat Chorus]

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town

The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree, so

[Repeat Chorus]

Who Says There Ain't No Santa Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Got a wife and two kids, all gathered around
A twenty-pound turkey, snow on the ground
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
Eric wants a glove, he tears into a box
His eyes are wide with wonder,
I sit back and watch
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus

[Chorus]
I haven't heard a single reindeer running on my roof
I just look into my children's eyes
and there I see my proof
And could it be that jolly old man riding in his sleigh
Is really just the kid in us on every Christmas Day
Who says there's no Santa Claus

Molly gets a doll, Momma's camera clicks
Guess we all get the puppy, he's getting in his licks
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus

I'm trying to read a card in crooked red and blue
Only part that really matters is "Daddy, we love you"
Who says there ain't no Santa Claus

[Repeat Chorus]

Hey, I've heard there ain't no Santa Claus
But I know there's got to be a Santa Claus

I'll Be Home For Christmas Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

White Christmas Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day in Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
and may all your Christmases be white"

"Steers & Stripes" (2001)

Only In America Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror
Looking at the promise of the Promised Land
One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president

Only in America
Dreaming in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Sun going down on an La. freeway
Newlyweds in the back of a limousine
A welder's son and a banker's daughter
All they want is everything
She came out here to be an actress
He was the singer in a band
They just might go back to Oklahoma
And talk about the stars they could have been

[Chorus]

Only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America

Yeah only in America
Where we dream in red, white and blue
Yeah we dream as big as we want to

The Last Thing I Do Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I've been livin' on truck stop coffee, cigarettes and vitamin C
It's a wonder that the devil ain't caught me
I guess he's tired of playin' hide-n-seek
I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline

[CHORUS]

If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from Tupelo to Timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do

Box of chicken and a day old biscuit
Ain't nothin' left but a few old bones
I outta stop but I'm gonna risk it
Caffeine got me chewin' Styrofoam
Girl I'm callin' out of Kansas City
From a fillin' station telephone
Just had to tell you what I've been thinkin'
First thing I wanna do when I get home

[CHORUS]

[BREAK]

Yeah I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightin'
I think about ya and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a truckload of gasoline

[CHORUS]

If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do

I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.
Dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you.
I'm gonna dodge every roadblock, speed trap and country cop to get my hands on you

The Long Goodbye Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free
But it sure is hard to do
It sure is hard to do
I know they say if you don't come back again
Then it's meant to be (so they say)
Those words don't pull me through
Cause I'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me goin' through the mill
climbin' up a hill

[CHORUS]

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart
No matter how hard I try
I always make you cry
Come on, baby, it's over?-let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance (just one more chance)
But I know without a doubt
We turned it inside out
And if we walked away
It would make more sense
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we could still try
How long must we keep running on a carousel
Goin' round and round and never getting anywhere
On a wing and prayer

[CHORUS]

Long goodbye
Long goodbye

Go West Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

That burning sunset in the sky
Is calling out to us tonight
I won't work for my old man
Anymore that you fit into your mammas plan
There's a place for people like you and me
True love's still got room to breathe

And we can drive all night
Into the morning light
Let's go west
It's our ticket out of here
Yeah we can disappear
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Let's go west

It's hard to leave this place behind
Got memories turning in my mind
Little white house with a picket fence
That protected small town innocence
But it seems like an even trade to me
That security for our destiny

Yeah we can drive all night
Till the morning light
Let's go west
A place that we can go
Where the tall dreams grow
Let's go west
And we'll find a place to call our own
There's somewhere out there we belong
Let's go west

And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of

[Repeat 2nd Chorus]

Yeah let's go west
Oh let's go west
Oh let's go west
Yeah let's go west

My Heart Is Lost To You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Maybe it was the moonlight
The scent of you on the breeze
Maybe it was your shadow that fell over me
Such a beautiful stranger
Eyes darker than coal
Your first look crossed the desert
Into my soul

Mi Corzon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you

Maybe it was the music
The way it moved with your hair
Or the heat of the moment
That hung in the air
But when I saw you there dancing
Mesmerized by the gaze
There was some kind of magic
That led me away

[chorus]

Good Girls Go To Heaven Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Some girls go to church on Sunday
Live life by the golden rule
You got girls gonna graduate one day
Suma cum laude from party school

Some they walk the straight and narrow
Some girls they just don't care
Good girls go to heaven
Bad girls go everywhere

Some girls are into heavy metal
Dance with the devil everywhere they go
Others of 'em cut a rug to the fiddle
Dance to the rhythm of the cotton eyed Joe

[CHORUS]

Miss high fullutin' likes to sip fine champagne
Prim and proper drippin' in diamond rings
Little sister wears high heals and blue jeans
A long neck drinkin' certified wild thang

[CHORUS]

Good girls go to heaven bad girls go everywhere

When She's Gone, She's Gone Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Saw an old friend last night I hadn't seen in a couple of years
Stopped in Galatoire's had a couple of beers
Talked about the price of oysters, the coach at LSU
Then like I knew it would the conversation turned to you

He had to go and I looked at my watch, it was 1:45
I headed down canal, the quarter was coming alive
A man on the corner told me that Jesus is coming soon
But I was lost in the music and the crowd and the smell of cheap perfume

It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And I walked down by the river in the cold gray dawn
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone

The line was long at Cafe Du Monde so I walked out on the pier
Thought about all the winds and turns and mistakes that got me here
Might as well try to change the course this old river takes
Than to go back in time when you were mine, pretend it's not late

It's not good for a man to be alone
But a women needs someone that she can count on
And what I'd give to go back but the current's just too strong
Love is like the Mississippi
When she's gone she's gone

[Repeat 2nd chorus]

Yeah she's gone

Ain't Nothing 'Bout You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, The way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
Your dance, your drive, You make me feel alive

The way you talk, the way you tease
Right now I think you see
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me

Unloved Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I know you know
Just how it goes when it goes
And how it feels
To be lost and left alone on your own
And what it's like
To give all you got and have to stand and watch it
As it walks away
So everyone deserves a chance to live and learn
From mistakes
That we make and hearts that break and bridges burn
Starting now
From this moment on nothing's gonna go wrong
Love is here to stay

You'll never be without
You'll always have enough
When you're in my arms
You'll never go unloved
As long as there is time
And for all of it to come
No matter where you go
I want you to know
You'll never be unloved

So in this life we lead
Some things are guaranteed
You can
Count on the fact that hearts won't act responsibly
Now and then
Comes a love that's heaven sent and meant to be
So baby look at me

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Deny, Deny, Deny Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

That wasn't me at a quarter to three back in our backyard
Tearing up the roses and the home grown tomatoes in my new car
Those bottles in the driveway and the bottles in the hall
Well I don't know where they came from
It must be burglars in the neighborhood
I sure hope they catch those bums

I know you've got your own version of the truth
There's only three things left now I can do
Deny, Deny, Deny

Well I was allegedly dropped
By a truck stop waitress at our front door
Now who you gonna believe
Your sweet lovin' daddy or those lying eyes of yours
That lipstick on my collar
That you found this morning well that's not lipstick at all
I was just in a hurry to get back to you honey
Had myself a little fall

Oh yeah you've got your own version of the truth
There's only three things left now I can do
Deny, Deny, Deny

Oh please don't answer the phone
Hey ain't it great being home and alone like this
That cigarette voice asking for her big boy
Why should I know who that is
Yeah I know it looks bad but
You're lookin' at a victim of a circumstance or two
Oh what is it now seems like nothing I do ever pleases you

[1st CHORUS]

Deny, deny, deny

Lucky Me, Lonely You Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Girl you've got lonely written all over you
I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lonely you

Must be in the cards
Fate played a part
Brought us here tonight
Heaven must have lined the stars up in the sky just right

[Chorus]

Who knows the right song, a slow dance
Might heal your heartache
Somethin' tells me I don't know
I just might be here to save the day

[Chorus]

Girl you've got Oh you've got lonely written all over you
I can read the writing from across this crowded room
All by yourself there in your world of blue
Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me, lonely you

Fall Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

I breeze through the day
And nothin' much seems to get in my way
I don't have a care at all
You walk in the room
It's always the same
You call out my name
I turn
You smile
I fall

I'm at home at night
Just me and the moon
But doin' all right
When out of the blue you call
I hang up the phone
I lay down in bed
Your still in my head
I dream
You smile
I fall

Oh what could this feeling be
Could it really be love
That's happening to me
Oh yeah yeah

The closer you get
The harder it is to keep it together
I don't have a chance at all
It's out of my hands
Oh but what can I do
I'm crazy for you
We touch
You Smile
I fall

Oh Yeah
We touch
You smile
I fall

Every River Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

Once upon a time
Somewhere in your past
Someone said forever
But that promise didn't last

Now you don't believe
Love is ever true
Steel yourself against the day
When I stopped loving you

When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry

For every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound

I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby
Should you ever fall

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

And every river run dry

See Jane Dance Lyrics – Brooks & Dunn

It started with a dare at a bar in Sarasota
A spring break party miles from Minnesota
Jane was with her friends to mark a celebration
Phi Beta Kappa for her college graduation
A little pomp and circumstance
See Jane dance

The bouncer led the ladies to an open-air cabana
A sea of Coppertone's and Hawaiian Tropicana's
A slew of southern beauties were causin' a commotion
Oilin' up their skin to win a trip across the ocean
Jane had never been to France
See Jane dance

She jumped up on the stage and after many margaritas
She took her place in line amongst the tanned senioritis
She tore into a groove and lost her inhibition
Stirrin' up the crowd, she blew away the competition
In her leopard underpants
See Jane dance

Now she drives a Beamer that was bartered for a gig in Barcelona
A Harley that was payment from the bikers in Daytona
She's heavily invested her stock is on the run
Be worth a couple million by the time she's thirty-one
So before you miss your chance
See Jane dance
Yeah she'll put ya in a trance
See Jane dance
Dance
Dance

"Tight Rope" (1999)

Goin' Under Gettin' Over You Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I woke up in the front yard
In the back seat of a Buick
With the lights and the radio on
I stumbled 'cross the grass
To the front porch through the door
Of a house that once was our home
If love once lived here you can't tell it
If I could just let go I'd sell it
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

Made my way down the hall
Through the boxes to the bed
Where I used to hold you all night long
Your perfume on the pillow
Where you once laid your head
Stays there to remind me you're gone
It's gonna tear me apart if I let it
I should just move on and forget it
But, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

The days are long and the nights are tough
All alone it's just too much
I'm not handlin' well what I'm goin' through
The whiskey ain't strong enough
My hearts down to givin' up
I'm down to my last cigarette too
Oh, I'm goin' under gettin' over you

Missing You Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Everytime I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here and your miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say

There's a message in the wire and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
I try so hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say

There's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

I ain't missing you
Since you've been gone...away
I ain't missing you
No mater what my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you

Temptation #9 Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Yeah I've been hurt and I've been blue
And I've been thinkin' 'bout the changes love has put me through
I've told myself it's got to end
I've had enough and I ain't goin' back again
I've watched 'em come
I've watched 'em go
Six, seven, eight and I can still say no
And then tonight you came along
Only a fool would wanna be that strong

Temptation #9
Make a man wanna cross that line
Face to face with a chance like this
There's only so much that a man can resist

I walked alone, I played it safe
Tryin' not to count the times I walked away
'Cause when you love and love goes wrong
A broken heart just seems too much to gamble on
I first saw you, I had to think
Oh another pretty woman just what I don't need
But when I look into your eyes
Hey I see somethin' makes me wanna roll the dice

Temptation #9
Make a man wanna cross that line
Face to face with a chance like this
There's only so much that a man can resist

Ooh you got it shakin'
Ooh there's no mistakin'
You're the next trip that I'll be takin'

[Chorus]

Hurt Train Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell

A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name
That whistle keeps blowin'
That high lonesome sound
It tells me where I'm goin'
Is gonna be a long way down

Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell

Now here I sit loaded
Wondering what went wrong
The whiskey I can hold it
I just don't know how long
I'm out here on a hurt train

A hundred tons of cold steel
Rustin' in the rain
The singin' of the rollin' wheels
Are callin' out her name

Ridin' on a hurt train
Making tracks
Ridin' on a hurt train
Ain't no turnin' back
I'm out here on a hurt train
The moanin' of the rails
Seems like a sad song
Last call farewell

Ain't no turnin' back

Can't Stop My Heart Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Sittin' in my world alone
I catch myself reachin' for the phone
Gotta get outta here and find a place to get my head clear
I make a wrong turn down your road
And how I got here, I'm afraid I know
A part of me keeps going too far
I can't stop my heart

Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
And it does what it wants to do
I tell it no, then before I know it
It's a right back to lovin' you
I can't stop my heart before it's through
It's gonna break itself in two
I can't stop my heart

I do my best to leave the past
But I can't keep my heart from going back
What am I gonna do, it just remembers what it wants to
And once it lets your memory in
I let myself get swept away again and again
I know it's always tearing me apart
I can't stop, stop my heart

Yeah it feels what it wants to feel
And it does what it wants to do
I tell it no, then before I know it
It's a right back to lovin' you
I can't stop my heart before it's through
It's gonna break itself in two
I can't stop my heart

Too Far This Time Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

She said,
Out with the boys don't cut it no more
And "I'm sorry" is just noise, she's heard it all before
Said that ring on her finger, well it feels like prison
She's talked 'til she's blue, and I don't listen

I went too far this time,
Crossed over that line,
I'm past the point of no return
Livin' proof some fools never learn
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time

She said,
Save your breath boy, I've heard it all,
And keep your place there with your back to the wall,
Said I'm leavin' you lonely 'cause I've had my share
Save those worn out "I love you's" for someone that cares

I went too far this time,
Crossed over that line,
I'm past the point of no return
Livin' proof some fools never learn
Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time

Well I pushed my luck, now she's givin' up
Somethin' tells me I went too far this time
Oh somethin' tells me, I went too far this time

You'll Always Be Loved By Me Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I know forever is a long long time
For a girl to put her heart on the line
Trust is a tight rope we all have to walk
Baby don't be afraid I won't let you fall
With a little faith mountains move
You and me we can't lose

You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me

Love comes so many times goes
So much out there we'll never know
Call it fate call it destiny
But I think we were meant to be
This old world it spins so fast
So many times they just don't last

You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me

You can count on the sun to rise
And stars to come out at night
As long as there's air to breathe
You'll always be loved by me

You'll always be loved by me

I Love You More Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

You've stood too long with your tears in the doorway
I guess I've run out of the right things to say
You've made up your mind that he'll make you happy
I don't have the heart to stand in your way
Maybe tonight you think you're in love
But baby tomorrow when you wake up

Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more

I was the one that told you he loved you
You were afraid you couldn't be loved
I was the one who you could believe
Would never leave when times got tough
I'll never say I told you so
But take this with you when you go

Just remember when he looks at you
He don't see what I see
That little girl smile, that woman in your eyes
That always got to me
Just remember when you turn down the lights
Who you're really reachin' for
Yeah he can tell you he loves you but I love you more

Yeah he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more
Oh he can tell you he loves you
But I love you more

Beer Thirty Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I got a six pack, got a single stem rose
My baby's dressed up she's raring to go
I got a Jones for the moon and the jukebox
I like to two step she likes to rock
That clock on the wall it rings, it chimes
It's beer thirty, a honky tonk time

Life's too short, let's get to livin' it
Let's give it all we can give it
Let your hair down, turn the music up
We gonna paint the town flat, tear it up
The party starts here get in line
Beer thirty a honky tonk time

I put in my four day
I'm going home
Lord my get-up has got up and gone
Got my paycheck I'm on my way
It's finally Friday my kind of day
I punch the clock, I hit the road flying
It's beer thirty, a honky tonk time

Yeah life's too short, let's get to livin' it
Let's give it all we can give it
Let your hair down, turn the music up
We gonna paint the town flat, tear it up
The party starts here get in line
It's beer thirty a honky tonk time

Yeah life's too short, let's get to livin' it
Let's give it all we can give it
Let your hair down, turn the music up
We gonna paint the town flat, tear it up
The party starts here get in line
It's beer thirty a honky tonk time
It's beer thirty a honky tonk time

Don't Look Back Now Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

He doesn't want your love
But he can't say goodbye
He's beggin' you to stay
But he can't tell you why
You finally made your move
Your hand is on the door
You know the rest is hard
You've been this far before

Don't look back now
He's gonna see you cryin'
You'll turn around
It happens everytime
That look will always break you down
Don't look back now

You pick your suitcase up
You hear him call your name
You'd give your soul to him
If things could be the same
You stop and close your eyes
You grab some memories
You think of better days
But that's all history

Don't look back now
He's gonna see you cryin'
You'll turn around
It happens everytime
That look will always break you down
Don't look back now

All Out Of Love Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Are you gonna call it quits
'Cause girl from where I sit
All the signs I read
Say you're over me
My world stopped
And time stands still
Until I know
I know how you feel
Are you all out of love

The story in your eyes
Tells me the well's run dry
Am I a fool for holdin' on
For prayin' this feeling's wrong
If what I fear
Is really true
Then girl
I wanna hear it from you
Are you all out of love
Are you all out of love

Is this the end of the line
Is this as far as we go
Or can I somehow change your mind
Or will your heart be forever closed

Are you all out of love

The Trouble With Angels Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Alone here tonight, lookin' up at the sky
Wonderin' how I let her go
Did I hold her too tight, heaven only knows
A bottle of wine, a day in the sunshine
Seems like we shared everything
Yeah I felt her love but I never saw her wings

And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels

Wherever you are, no matter how far
I hope you'll always understand
I'm savin' you a soft place to land
It's crazy I know talkin' like you're still so close
But the memory endures
Are you listenin', I never know for sure

And that's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels

That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
You can try and make her stay
But she's bound to fly away
That's the trouble with angels
That's the trouble with angels
She'll fly

Texas And Norma Jean Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

It was a foggy mornin' south of San Jose
We were sittin' in a crowded coffee shop
With nothin' left to say
My cup grew cold and a teardrop rolled
Down her cheek and I brushed it away
I remember it all just like yesterday

And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean

Still see her wavin' through the radiator steam
She was stranded by the roadside on her way to bigger things
She threw her bags in back, said she liked my hat
Her name was Marilyn Justine
I fell into her California dream

And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean

Yeah we took a lotta detours on our winding way out west
Livin' for the moment, forgettin' all the rest
The life that she had waitin' and the one I left behind
And now I'm back here tryin' to sort it out
One fence post at a time

In that coffee shop, the road just stopped
And we faced reality
The place that she was goin' had no place for me

And I see it now, I feel it still
It's a day I can't forget and never will
And I hear her voice on the winds of Abilene
She used to call me Texas and I called her Norma Jean

Yeah I called her Norma Jean

"If You See Her" (1998)

How Long Gone Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey
I aint seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh but baby I wouldnt mind knowin' just
How long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
How long gone are you gonna be

Maybe I didnt pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be

The phone aint ringin', cause you still aint callin'
I aint been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me how long gone are you gonna be

How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still dont even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me
Tell me please
How long gone are you gonna be

Can't Get Over You Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I forget where I'm goin' in my own house
I got myself in this, I'll get myself out
I talk out loud, at the top of my voice I sing
Whoa keep the faith, see what tomorrow brings

I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you

I got a front row seat here to a fool's masquerade
And that fool in the mirror keeps sayin' I'm doin' ok
I stare at that door that you walked out
It hits me hard and leaves no doubt

I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you

I can't get over you
Try as I may oh it no use
My heart just cant leave you alone
My mind wont believe you're gone
I can't get over you

South Of Sante Fe Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Where the rain dont fall and the grass dont grow
The older part of New Mexico
I drifted into town one day
And stumbled in on a lost cafe
Shades were pulled and the door was locked
Something made me knock

Time stood still when she opened the door
I didnt know where I was anymore
And we were lost in each other's eyes
Where loneliness meets paradise
Something in my heart broke free
Blowing wind as the tumbleweed

Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe

Bad news tends to travel fast
I was running from my past
I left her when ther morning broke
Truth is I never let her go
I'm still running free
But in my heart I'll always be

Somewhere north of heaven
Where eagles fear to fly
Where the sun burns hot as the devil's gate
The desert meets the sky
Tattooed on my memory is the image of an angels face
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe
North of heaven, south of Santa Fe

If You See Him / If You See Her Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn (feat. Reba)

If you see him
Tell him I wish him well
How am I doing?
Well, sometimes is hard to tell
I still miss him more than ever
But please dont say a word
If you see him
If you see him

If you see her
Tell her I'm doing fine
And if you want to
Say that I think of her from time to time
Ask her if she ever wonders
Where we both went wrong
If you see her
If you see her

I still want her
I still need him so
I dont know why we let each other go

If you see her
Tell her the lights still on for her
Nothing's changed
Deep down the fire still burns for him

And even if it takes forever say I'll still be here
If you see him
If you see her
If you see him
If you see her

Brand New Whiskey Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name

Leaving's the reason I'm drinking
Oh I've never felt so alone
Night and day I stay stoned
Hoping to forget she's gone

I never thought she'd do me so dirty
Together forever she promised me
She took her promise and left a memory
The day the woman walked out on me

Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name

Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name
A man needs something to hold onto
When a goodbye hits him like a hurricane
Make it sweet, as sweet as her lips
Something special like champagne
Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name

Yeah they oughta make a brand new whiskey
And give it a woman's name

Born And Raised In Black And White Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain
That's where we came from

Two boys playing in the burning sun
One with books and one with guns
Mama calls but just one comes
The other one runs

With a Christian sense of wrong and right
We were born and raised in black and white
One learned to pray, one learned to fight
We were born and raised in black and white

My brother took to the gospel road
Spent his whole life saving souls
When he looked at me and his look ran cold
He didn't even try

I had no dreams and I had no plans
But a gun felt good in my right hand
Warden said 'How come you killed that man?'
I said 'I don't know why'

Welcome home said the hot moonlight
We were born and raised in black and white
One lives to pray, one wants to die
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white

Someone handed me a cigarette
They offered me my last request
I asked my moral soul be blessed
By someone close to me

I came to him with trembling hands
I swore I'd never understand
He said its just what life had planned
It's destiny

So don't waste your tears on me tonight
We were born and raised in black and white
You chose the dark, I chase the light
We were born and raised in black and white
We were born and raised in black and white

The wind blows hard across the Texas plains
Makes some people go insane
While others quietly pray for rain

You're Love Don't Take A Backseat To Nothing Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I get down with music and guitars
I fool around with all kinds of fast cars
It takes you baby to keep my motor running
I smoke the tires and watch the rubber burn
It takes your fire to make my wheels turn
Make my blood run hot and keeps my heart a humming
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing

Temptation always knocking
Get three behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
Rockin' and rollin' out here on the fast lane
It can get crazy, downright insane
Burning down the highway to your front door
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing

My baby's really something
She keeps my motor running
Her love don't take a backseat

Temptation always knocking
Get three behind me 'cause I ain't stopping
Baby you're all I need and whole lot more
But you're love don't take a backseat to nothing

Husbands And Wives Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

A woman and a man
A man and a woman
Some can and some cant and some cant

Two broken hearts lonely looking houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives

The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

It's my belief pride is the chief cause in the decline
Of the number of husbands and wives

Way Gone Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don't mean maybe
If I'm wrong then I don't know nothing
'Cause I'm way gone for her sweet loving

Way gone she's my one and only
So long to sad and lonely
She waltzed into my world
Now I'm way gone for my sweet girl

Oh if I'm half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
'Cause I don't plan on coming back

Way gone and I've crossed over
I'm lucky as a four leaf clover
I don't want nobody to save me
'Cause I way gone for my sweet baby

Oh if I'm half the man
My sweet baby thinks I am
I guess I better pack my bags
'Cause I don't plan on coming back

Way gone she's a one-way ticket
Rock on gonna get down with it
Sweet lips and brunette curls
Yes I'm way gone for my sweet girl

Way gone for my sweet baby
So strong and I don't mean maybe
If I'm wrong then I don't know nothing
'Cause I'm way gone for her sweet loving

Way gone - for my sweet baby
Way gone - and I don't mean maybe
Rock on - Time to get down with it
Way gone

When Love Dies Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Love conquers all and someday it'll conquer you
There's nothing finer than falling all in it
When love is true
But once it goes out and breaks your heart
It still ain't history
When love dies it don't rest in peace

You can lock your doors and windows
To keep the pain at bay
Yesterday may be dead and gone
But the past wont go away
Its waiting right around every corner
With a heartache you don't need
When love dies it don't rest in peace

Oh when love dies
You cant bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace

How does love die then come back
A ghost rattling chains
It keeps on haunting my broken heart
Driving me insane
I hear it whisper my name in the night
Just like it still lives and breathes
When love dies it don't rest in peace

Oh when love dies
You cant bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace

You're My Angel Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

You're my angel, you see me through
Believe in me, I'll believe in you
Oh fill my heart from your loving well
You're my angel

Pick me up when I'm feeling down
When I stumble on shaky ground
Oh you're my answer when I cant tell
You're my angel

Oh you take me up to heaven
When you spread your loving wings

When I am weary and way behind
When I am clearly out of my mind
Oh when I find I'm in my hell
You're my angel
Oh you're my angel

"Borderline" (1996)

My Maria Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies

Maria, Maria I love you

My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
Gypsy lady you're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away

My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you

My Maria
Maria I love you

A Man This Lonely Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you

Two arms this empty
Need someone to hold
A man this lost needs somewhere to go
When the nights go on forever
And the days do too
A man this lonely needs a woman like you

I'd lost hope
I was so far down
Here you come turning all that around
I'd come to think
Of love as a lie
All that's on my mind now
Is you by my side

A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man whose world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
A man this lonely needs a woman like you

Why Would I Say Goodbye Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I guess I lost my head last night
Kept on 'til I made you cry
Walked out with my stubborn pride
Wasn't nothing you could do to stop me
I hit the road but I didn't get far
Just drove around all night in my car
Now I'm not sure where to start
To tell you that I'm sorry

[Chorus]
I just want to hold you
I don't want to hurt you
I don't want to leave
I just want to be with you
And after living alone, lost for so long
finally found the love of my life
Why would I say goodbye

I don't know what is is about the edge of a cliff
Makes we want to get so close to it
I guess this time I finally slipped
What a foolish way to end it
Maybe that's why I'm back here now
got both feet back on the ground

Hopin' you won't turn me down
when I ask you for forgiveness

[Repeat chorus]

Mama Don't Get Dressed Up For Nothing Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

She said hey cowboy get off of that couch
Yeah, the party's on and we're goin' out
I got my low cut dress and my knee highboots
I'm like money to burn and nothing to lose
You're the man of the house you better think of something
'Cause Mama don't get dressed up for nothing

She said I been cooped up in this house all week
It's time to pick it up and move it out to party street
She said saddle up hoss it's your lucky day
And I'm a she cat tiger comin' out of the cage
We can go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing

She's hard to handle, a little high strung
I'll see her bet and I'll raise her one
I love when she gets wound up
I'm Jack of Hearts, she's my Lady Luck

We re gonna find a little place where we can rip and roar
We gonna cut a deep groove in that hardwood floor
Set up the shooters and break out the green
Throw a whole row of quarters in the boogie machine
We gonna turn up the heat and keep the jukebox humpin'
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
Go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
She said babe you better think of something
'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing

I Am That Man Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

You put your heart up on a shelf
I know it's hard to be by yourself
You need someone that's tur and strong
Baby someone just came along

I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am

Talk is cheap, it ain't worth a dime
So don't talk to me, just five me some time
I'm gonna show you what love can be
My job won't be done until you believe

I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am that man
You're trying to find
I am that man
You had in mind
And I'll give you all my love
'Til you understand
I won't give up
'Cause I know
I am that man

More Than A Margarita Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I started my day with Corona
Hopin' it'd help me get over
The night that you left
But it didn't help
So I moved on to tequila
Built a pyramid up to the ceiling
Ten glasses high
But I can still hear you sayin' goodbye

It's gonna take more than a margarita
More than a shooter
To blow your memory away
I still need ya
I'm hurtin' without you
Even when I'm feelin' no pain

Well, tonight I'm the life of the party
Jokin' about my broken heart
But it's easy to see
The joke's on me
That waitress just asked how I want it
With or without the salt on it
I shook my head
Either way ain't gonna make me forget

It's gonna take more than a margarita
More than a shooter
To blow your memory away
I still need ya
I'm hurtin' without you
Even when I'm feelin' no pain

It's gonna take more than a margarita
More than a shooter
To blow your memory away
I still need ya
I'm hurtin' without you
Even when I'm feelin' no pain

It's gonna take more than a margarita
More than a shooter
To blow your memory away
I still need ya
I'm hurtin' without you
Even when I'm feelin' no pain

It's gonna take more than a margarita
More than a shooter
To blow your memory away
I still need ya
I'm hurtin' without you
Even when I'm feelin' no pain

Redneck Rhythm & Blues Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Well good God o'mighty this week's been two months long
Lord I love to hear that Friday five o'clock whistle moan
As the moon comes up and the sun goes down
Put the juice to my truck I head into town
Get it on and go to groovin' to the redneck rhythm & blues

Life ain't all hard knocks a quarter in the jukebox
Turn it on and set 'em up Joe
Songs about a workin' man blarin' from a bandstand
Is music to a country boy's soul
Call me the underdog of overtime
I stay broke all the time
Gotta pay the eight to five dues
Well I'm hillbilly hardcore
Son I'm a sucker for the redneck rhythm & blues

There's nothing worse than the rattle and roll of empty cans
Bouncin' around in the bed of my truck
Boy I'm a thirsty man
Five hot long miles to the waterin' hole
I got the pedal to the metal singin' go cat go
Aw a cool one is a cure for the redneck rhythm & blues

Life ain't all hard knocks a quarter in the jukebox
Turn it on and set 'em up Joe
Songs about a workin' man blarin' from a bandstand
Is music to a country boy's soul
Call me the underdog of overtime
I stay broke all the time
Got to pay the eight to five dues
Well, I'm hillbilly hardcore
Son I'm a sucker for the redneck rhythm & blues

Life ain't all hard knocks a quarter in the jukebox
Turn it on and set 'em up Joe
Songs about a workin' man blarin' from a bandstand
Is music to a country boy's soul
Call me the underdog of overtime
I stay broke all the time
Got to pay the eight to five dues
Well, I'm hillbilly hardcore
Son I'm a sucker for the redneck rhythm & blues
Yeah I'm hillbilly hardcore
Son I'm a sucker for the redneck rhythm & blues

My Love Will Follow You Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Take your suitcase and take your heart
Take a train to the dark
My love will follow you
My love will follow you
You can try to lose yourself downtown
You can burn all your bridges down
My love will follow you
Oh my love will follow you

My love will follow you
Down every highway of your soul
You can leave me far behind
My love will be your shadow
Everywhere you go

So close the door
Turn in the key
Leave me here like a memory
My love will follow you
Oh my love will follow you

Even on the road that takes you down
Where the cords of human kindness come unwound
My love will follow you
Oh my love will follow you

My love will follow you
Down every highway of your soul
You can leave me far behind
My love will be your shadow
Everywhere you go

If you should ever go so far
That you cannot get back
You may not remember
But my heart will not lose track

My love will follow you
Down every highway of your soul
You can leave me far behind
My love will be your shadow
Everywhere you go
So go ahead baby and take that train
In my heart you'll still remain
My love will follow you
Oh my love will follow you
My love will follow you
Oh my love will follow you

One Hearache At A Time Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Just sittin' here minding my own broken heart
Still hurtin' like the night she went away
Here you come a double shot of trouble in your eyes
Now Heaven knows there'll be hell to pay

I can't take but just one heartache at a time
I've gotta wait 'til I've had a chance
To drink her off my mind
Well I'll save some tears and meet you here
Somewhere down the line
I can't take but just one heartache at a time

I'd be lying lying in your loving arms
And tempted as I am I can't pretend
Just my luck
You picked tonight to set your sights on me
Darling can't you see the shape I'm in

I can't take but just one heartache at a time
I've gotta wait 'til I've had a chance
To drink her off my mind
Well I'll save some tears and meet you here
Somewhere down the line
I can't take but just one heartache

I can't take but just one heartache at a time
I've gotta wait 'til I've had a chance
To drink her off my mind
Well I'll save some tears and meet you here
Somewhere down the line
I can't take but just one heartache at a time
Oh I can't take but just one heartache at a time

Tequila Town Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Left Laredo with the sun in my eyes
Broken heart and a bloodshot sky
Been running since she left me alone
Way up north in San Antone
Days get long but I don't get far
Spent last night in some low life bar
Found her memory in some Mezcal haze
Lost my mind while the guitar played

I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'til I live her down
Lost in tequila town

Left her standing in a tear-stained dress
I cursed the day that I confessed
Wayward sins of a mortal man
Watched the ring come off her hand

Looking back on all I've lost
Price I've paid ain't worth the cost
I'll run this road until it ends
And maybe find my way back to her again

I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'til I live her down
Lost in tequila town

Yea I'm gonna carry this burden way out west
Find a way to lay this hurt to rest
Live it up 'til I live her down
Lost in tequila town
Yeah in tequila town

White Line Casanova Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I'm dead headin' down from Tulsa
Goin' back to San Antone
My baby called me up this morning
Begging me to come back home
Haulin' high hopes and thin air
Losin' money by the mile
I'll get there a poor man
She'll make it worth my while

I was a white line casanova
A love bandit of the road
I got the one I can't get over
I miss her more with every load
I got these eighteen wheels
Singin' home sweet home
I been too long gone
Oh I'm comin' home to ya

I ain't left the fast lane
Since I hit the last toll gate
I know she's out there waitin' in that Lone Star state
She'll be standin' on the front porch
Reachin' out with open arms
This woman's out to get me
Shoot the dog and sell the farm

I was a white line casanova
A love bandit of the road
I got the one I can't get over
I miss her more with every load
I got these eighteen wheels
Singin' home sweet home
I been gone too long
Oh I'm comin' home to ya

I got a white knuckle grip
On this wheel in my hand
I'm rollin' down the highway
Just as fast as I can
I'm blowin' smoke from both stacks
Pickin' 'em up, I'm puttin' 'em down
There won't be no time at all
'Til I'll be rollin' into town

I was a white line casanova
A love bandit of the road
I got the one I can't get over
I miss her more with every load
I got these eighteen wheels
Singin' home sweet home
I been gone too long
Oh I'm comin' home to ya

Yea I got these eighteen wheels
Singin' home sweet home
I been too long gone
Oh I'm comin' home to ya

"Waitin' On Sundown" (1994)

Little Miss Honky Tonk Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I get out on the redneck side every now and then
Call up my baby she comes over and the party begins
She's a slick nickel she's right on the money
I wouldn't give her up for a thousand buckle bunnies
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk

She's got my number, knows my favorite songs on the jukebox
Goes to gettin' down like crazy and the whole place rocks
We'll have a few and get to feelin' right
She'll be my queen bee I'll be her neon knight
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk

Oh Oh I love her so
Stand back give her room boys and watch her go

She's a looker, heads turn when she comes through the door
A show stopper when she gets to goin' out on the floor
We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like I'm a king when I'm out with her highness
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk

Oh Oh I love her so
Stand back give her room boys and watch her go

We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like I'm a king when I'm out with her highness
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk

She's Not The Cheatin' Kind Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

She's dressed to kill in a dress he bought her
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
She's come to dance a dance or two
And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through

She found out the hard way about him
She's out to find out how she'll do without him
Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding
By the way she's drinking his memory's drowin'

[Chorus:]
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one too many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
'Cause he's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now

She walks by and every head turns
You can see how hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
It's too late and that's too bad

[Repeat Chorus 3 times]

Silver And Gold Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

She knows what's been keepin' him out too late
She never was the kind to sit around and wait
She loosened the locket he gave her
She took off her wedding band
And when he gets home he'll find
All she's left behind is

Silver and gold
Haven't they lost their shine
Tonight she let go for the last time
Just silver and gold
Ties that no longer bind her
Now he's left alone with silver and gold

He could've kept her love so easily
It wasn't like she didn't try to make him see
But once she made up her mind
There was no turnin' back
And he's gonna understand
When all he's holdin' in his hands is

Silver and gold
Haven't they lost their shine
Tonight she let go for the last time
Just silver and gold
Ties that no longer bind her
Now he's left alone with silver and gold

And what once was sacred, only yesterday
They don't mean a thing as she walks away

Silver and gold
Haven't they lost their shine
Tonight she let go for the last time
Just silver and gold
Ties that no longer bind her
Now he's left alone with silver and gold

I'll Never Forgive My Heart Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Hello heartache who let you in
I swore the last time never again
Back together just you and me
Where's you old friend Mr. Misery

I went and did it I dropped my guard
I fell in and I fell hard
Now she's sayin' she's found someone new
How could I have been such a fool

Oh close the door turn out the lights draw the curtain
I'll get over her in time it's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself I told you so as I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart

Oh close the door turn out the lights draw the curtain
I'll get over her in time it's gonna take some hurtin'
I tell myself I told you so as I fall apart
I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart

I can't blame love
But I'll never forgive my heart

You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I'm still hurtin' from the last time
You walked on this heart of mine
I can't find much to believe in
You let me down so many times
Heaven knows how I love you
But I'm tired of holding on
You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

Not much chance we're gonna make it
If I'm the only one who's trying
You know I'm running out of reasons
And we're running out of time
Someday, girl, you're gonna wake up
And wonder what went wrong
You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

You're good at going through the motions
All I hear are alibis
Not I get this empty feeling
When I look into your eyes
I don't see a love light shining
I don't know what's going on
You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

You better kiss me
'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

My Kind Of Crazy Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

A hundred miles an hour
Out on highway 10
Top down burning up the night again
Ain't no one can catch you
But girl I'm gonna try
I can see that dangerous look in your eyes

You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight

I saw you at the drive-in
Dancing on a car
Rocking to the radio underneath the stars
Living every moment like it was your last
Don't know where you're going
You're just going fast

You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight

I ain't afraid of nothing
When I'm out with you
Running through the shadows
Chasing down the moon
Pushing to the limit
Isn't far enough
Let's go off the edge
And fall all the way in love

You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight

You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight

You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight

Whiskey Under The Bridge Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

There's not a heart that ain't been broken
A lie that ain't been spoken
A shattered dream that brand new love can't fix
I've been burned, I've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

Let's dance a little closer
I'll help you get over
The hurt you thought you never could forget
The bitter tears you tasted
All those nights you wasted
Don't look back
It's just whiskey under the bridge

All those nights of drinking
Finally got me thinking
Heartache is just a waste of time
I've been burned, I've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

All those nights of drinking
Finally got me thinking
Heartache is just a waste of time
I've been burned, I've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge

If That's The Way You Want It Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I've loved you since I met you
I guess I always will
There's something 'bout the way you smile
That makes my heart stand still
You say you love your freedom
I'd never tie you down
If you ever need these loving arms
I'll be hangin' 'round

If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me
If that's the way you want it
That's how it's gonna be
I'll be your Johnnie on the spot
Or Mr. Used To Be
If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me

I'm laid back, easy-going
I'm not the jealous kind
I won't get in your business
If you won't mess with mine
Just say the word forever
I'll gladly sing that line
I'll lay the world down at your feet
And fly you to the moon

If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me
If that's the way you want it
That's how it's gonna be
I'll be your Johnnie on the spot
Or Mr. Used To Be
If that's the way you want it
That's alright with me

She's The Kind Of Trouble Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

Well you might say trouble is my middle name
I can't get ahead of the game
Runnin' on empty and I'm runnin' late
Bossman's yelling won't give me a break
I could write a book about getting behind
But there's one kind of trouble that I don't mind

She meets me after work when the sun goes down
She's the kind of trouble that makes the world go 'round
Total strangers, even my best friends, bird-dog my baby when she walks in
She's a little slice of heaven, and hell on heels
And never gonna walk the line
Oh, but she's the kind of trouble that I don't mind

We're dancing to the band and from the time we start
They circle like hungry sharks
They're cuttin' in quick as I can cut 'em loose
I could get jealous but it ain't no use
She can't help it 'cause she's so fine
She's the kind of trouble that I don't mind

We're dancing to the band and from the time we start
They circle like hungry sharks
They're cuttin' in quick as I can cut 'em loose
I could get jealous but it ain't no use
She can't help it 'cause she's so fine
She's the kind of trouble that I don't mind

She's hanging out the window on the way back home
She yells at everybody just come on along
Party at my place just follow the truck
We'll be cuttin' a rug 'til the sun comes up
She's a little slice of heaven, hell on heels
And never gonna walk the line
Oh but she's the kind of that I don't mind

Few Good Rides Away Lyrics - Brooks & Dunn

I was sittin' in a truckstop
Watchin' tumbleweeds roll by
Tryin' to read the menu
When the waitress caught my eye
She pulled a pencil from her hair
And leaned across the bar
I did my best not to stare
But man, she made it hard

I asked that trucker next to me
Hey, what looks good today
He said I know what's on your mind
And boy, there ain't no way
Get yourself some apple pie
And something cool to drink
I know you want the special
And I like the way you think

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

Hard times hit West Texas
Damn near everything's for sale
But there's somethings we hold sacred
When everything else fails
When we're down to nothing
Out here, everybody shares
Most of us have lost our dreams
So we bought into theirs

I've seen her walk a hundred miles
Up and down this floor
I've never seen her fail to smile
When he limps through that door
So when you're done, you leave a tip
And make it nice and fat
And feel lucky you can own a piece
Of something like that

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away
