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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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
