Nice Try
02:28
|

You better watch the way you're walking
When you're walking through a room
You're getting all the guys talking
And you know they're always talking about you
I could end up falling
If you come to me a calling
But don't you think I hear you calling
Every guy here sugar baby too
Could I have fell under your spell
Oh you can't tell, I'll leave you dwell
On maybe someone's able to resist
Those long lashes and short denim skirts
Golden tanned legs and tight tank top shirts
You think all it takes is just a pretty face and wink of an eye
Nice Try
You think I'm just like other men
I'm acting tough but you can bend
And shape me into anything
Your pretty little heart desires
But I'm no stranger to your kind
I fell in love and love was blind
And it took forever
Just to heal this broken heart of mine
But you seem to be so sure that we
Are soon to be close company
Cause how could any normal man resist
Chorus 2X

Honky Tonk Baby
03:09
|

Her Mama used to sing in a honky tonk band
Her Daddy wrote the songs and he drove the van
She learned how to walk on a sawdust floor
Down in Texas
She learned how to count counting tips in a jar
First word she learned to spell was BAR
Hank Williams taught her how to sing
Like nobody's business
Honky tonk baby turned into a lady
Lordy she sure looks fine
Dancin' and a twirlin', showin' up the girls
And catching every cowboy's eye
But there ain't no maybe that honky tonk baby is mine
She's the one on the stage singing Patsy Cline
The one doing shots no salt no lime
She's a sweeatheart, pool shark
Smile and take all your money
She's the one at the jukebox picking out hits
Pushin' all the guys buttons while she's pickin' out hits
She's just having fun I'm the only one she calls honey
Chorus 2x
I said there ain't no maybe that honky tonk baby, she's all mine

The Wrong Song
03:31
|
|||
I'm issuing a warning to anyone that's listening
Expecting to be hearing the same old same
Baby how I want you, baby how I need you
Baby how I'll give you everything
Well if that's the way you're feeling at this moment in time
There's a thousand perfect songs for you but it ain't mine
If you want a wine her, dine her, champagne and candle light
You've got the wrong song
If you want to slow dance, romance, get her mood just right
You've got the wrong song
If you don't want to hear a where is my baby gone song
Then you've got the wrong song
I wrote this on the morning my forever one and only
Took everything except this damn guitar
I guess she left it for me so I could write a love song
Some autobiographical memoir
I sat there on the porch with my paper and pen
No chance of getting even with her so I just got mad
If you want a wine her, dine her, champagne and candle light
You've got the wrong song
If you want to slow dance, romance, get her mood just right
You've got the wrong song
If you don't want to hear a love don't last too long song
Then you've got the wrong song
If you don't want to hear a my heart is moving on song
Then you've got the wrong song

Jack Daniels Blues
03:25
|
|||
Breathing whiskey fumes trying to drink away
All of the chaos that seems to be coming my way
No amount of brew could ease my mind
And those girly little coolers are just a waste of time
Like anything else if you want things done you've got to do it right
So Bartender I'll settle for nothing less than straight Jack Daniels tonight
Now my cousin Kyle lost his girlfriend Flo
And he ain't worried cause he's got two more on the go
But the closest thing that I've got to me
Is this old guitar and a worn out melody
I ain't looking for consolation, I don't need your sympathy
I'd rather just sit here drowning my sorrow in a bottle of JD
Cause I love that burning sensation that only whiskey provides
Killin' my frustration while rescuing my mind
I may get a little rowdy once the medicine turns me loose
But don't hate me and don't judge me
It's just a little Jack Daniels blues
Daddy always said you shouldn't turn to the bottle
But lately seems like the only truth I can swallow
I ain't sayin' it's right but I ain't sayin' it's wrong
Cause there's something about whiskey and an old Steve Earle song
Come Friday night when the pressure builds up
And all has gone to hell
I'll ease my mind by sippin' Tennessee whiskey 'til the problem heals itself
Chorus
Don't hate me, don't judge me
Don't hate me, don't judge me
Don't hate me, and don't judge me
It's just a little Jack Daniels blues

Thinkin' 'Bout You
03:28
|
|||
The moon and the stars and the northern lights
Are carrying on in a heavenly fight
As they wrestle on a blanket of indigo blue
I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you
There's a sea of faces on a downtown street
And I'm hypnotized by the shuffling feet
Time is a streetcar barrelling throught
And I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you
I ought to put my mind to moving on
It ain't always easy to do what's good for me
No matter where I go or what I do
Well I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you
There's a calm on the water but I know it won't last
Cause your memory cuts the silence in half
Like a cold cruel blade following through
I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you
Chorus
Chairs on the table and they're sweeping the floor
Everyone's gone and they're locking the door
I should have went home when the party was through
And I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you
Chorus
No matter where I go or what I do
Well I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you
I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you
I know I shouldn't be thinkin' 'bout you

Back To The River
03:05
|
|||
I was born on the Miramichi river at the Black Rock bend
Twelve foot above twelve foot of water even the girls jumped in
But 21 came and I thought that city was the only place to be
I tried it out and I found out it ain't cut out for me
I'm going back to the river my soul is running dry
This place just can't deliver what a country boy needs in life
Can't start a fire, can't squeal a tire
Swim naked with your baby in the midnight hour
This place don't trip my trigger
I'm going back to the river
I miss hanging out at the sandbar with a cooler of beer
Having some fun, finding some action, I ain't finding it here
Like cruising down a trail on the old 4-wheeler with your girl just to be alone
We roll up to a campfire burning and the Coleman lights of home
Chorus
Sunny days, Starry nights, Pretty girls
Now that's the life
Chorus
Yeah back to the river
Back to the river

Doin' Alright
04:10
|
|||
Well everybody knows that there always comes a time
When the Lord comes calling there's no way to change his mind
It always seems like it only happens to the good guys
My buddy left me just the other day
And I regret not seeing him before he passed away
But if he were here right now I'm sure he'd say
Don't cry for me I'm doin' alright
Tell Mom and Dad they're always in sight
You should see this place man it's out of this world
Tell the rest of my friends not to dare shed a tear
I was sent to beat a path to lead them all here
Now my job is done, their future is bright
So don't cry for me nobody I'm doing alright
Now the days come and go and this world keeps turning
He's always in our hearts and we're constantly learning
How important it is for us all to love one another
I had a dream it was just last night
Him and I were hanging out and everything was alright
Before he left he turned to say
Chorus 2x
Don't cry for me I'm doin' alright, tell Mom and Dad they're always in sight.

Cowboy Enough For Me
03:57
|
|||
I first met you at a rodeo last summer
I was all dressed up playing cowboy wannabe
We met later on that evening down at the tavern
As I recall you were helping me to my feet
I was only trying to keep up with the cowboys
All my life that's all I wanted to be
I was always different in a different kind of way
So I wasn't quite sure what made you fall for me
When you said baby come home with me tonight
We'll lay on a blanket in a field and hold each other tight
And maybe by morning you will see
You ain't no rodeo cowboy but you're cowboy enough for me
So we climbed into your Silverado
You held my hand as we drove off in the night
Warm summer night time breeze flowing through my window
No headlights on hell the moon was plenty bright
You said all your life all you wanted was a cowboy
A well grounded man who enjoyed the simple things
You searched every rodeo around in hopes to find one
But seeing me on my back is what brought you to your knees
Chorus
I still wear a brimmed hat every now and then
But the smell of lilac trees takes me back to when
Chorus 2x

Lap Of Luxury
02:55
|
|||
I've got a little log cabin with an old tin roof
It sure ain't pretty but it's waterproof
I've got an old black Chevy with a cattle rack
I call it the workin' man's Cadillac
I've got a pocket full of money in one dollar bills
Well the world's best woman is wearing my ring
She's smart and good looking and everything
I've gotta pinch myself every time we kiss
I wonder what I did to deserve all of this
You would have to be me to know how it feels
Living in the lap of luxury well it don't take much to satisfy me
Got a roof overhead and a color TV, I love my baby and she loves me
You keep the 99 coupe deville cause too much of anything is overkill
I've got everything that I need living in the lap of luxury
I get up with the sun and it ain't so bad
It's better than some of the jobs I've had
Keeps the ice box full and the wolves away
Gas in the tank and the landlord paid
It ain't much but it's an income
Every once in a while we roll out of town
and head for the hills to go rockin' around
With the radio rattling the rust from the truck
The full moon shining on both of us
We've got the world and then some
Chorus 2x

My Old Friend The Blues
03:02
|
|||
Just when every ray of hope was gone
I should have known that you would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you
My old friend the blues
Another lonely night a nameless town
If sleep don't take me first you'll come around
I know I can always count on you
My old friend the blues
Lovers leave and friends will let you down
But you're the only sure thing that I've found
No matter what I do I'll never lose
My old friend the blues
Chorus
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
My old friend the blues
