I'm a full grown man That's plain to see But nowhere near as full grown As I'd like to be But I'll find a bar And I'll have a few Until I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof Now, I'd hit the dance floor Each time I'd have the chance That is if these two left feet Knew how to dance 'Bout the only time I'm kicking up my shoes Is when I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof Well, I start to feel like Superman Then I pick a fight Only to find that my opponent's Holding kryptonite You'd think I'd learn my lesson But, I'm still paying dues Each time I drink and start to think I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof My woman left me She called me a clown Well that's the general consensus In this town But I had it coming Lord to tell the truth For acting ten feet tall and bulletproof Repeat Chorus |

I'm so glad you found me Wrapped your sweet love around me And helped me to make a new start I was down on the bottom Sad stories, Lord, I've got 'em She was walkin' all over my heart She was cheatin', she was lyin' Alibis, I kept buyin' It was tearin' my whole world apart And like the fool she made of me I kept thinkin' that she loved me But she was walkin' all over my heart Oh, today more than ever I believe love's forever And it's you who brought back that spark So, I'm stickin' with our love I was so sick and tired of Her walkin' all over my heart |

She stayed up all night
And cried into her pillow And fought off the urge To just break down and call Last night the fight, the fall Seemed so darned easy But now who's to blame Don't matter much at all She thinks if she calls him It just shows weakness So the hurt goes on With every tear she's cried Ain't it sad to see A good love fall to pieces? Chalk another heartbreak up To foolish pride [CHORUS] Turn out the lights The competition's over The stubborn souls Are the losers here tonight And while the bridges burn Another hard, hard lesson's learned As in the ashes Passion slowly dies And this romance goes down To foolish pride He relives every word They spoke in anger He walks the floor And punches out the wall To apologize to her Would be so simple But instead he cries "I'll be damned if I call" If he loses her He's lost his best friend And more than just A lover can provide So he wrestles with emotions That defeat him Chalk another love lost up To foolish pride [REPEAT CHORUS] Chalk another love lost up To foolish pride Yeah |

I was born a country singer I love Charley Pride Raised on 'He Stopped Loving Her' Cut my teeth on 'Mama Tried' Yes, I love Hank Wiliams But I still love rock 'n roll Hank Jr, me and Waylon, We're all cut from the same mold And they say country's changin' And we must all adjust But I still think there's lots of room For old outlaws like us I love to jam with the Skynyrd band 'Cause 'Freebird' chills my bones And I've talked trash with Johnny Cash And I've sung with George Jones And I have played on the Opry stage Where the country legends stood Where you don't give lies or alibis 'Cause they don't do no good And Lord, I guess, that I've been blessed Though I have been kicked and cussed But it's nothing new to moan the blues For old outlaws like us And I wear this country banner And I'm proud to wave the flag And you can talk all day 'bout the next Billy Ray But I'll cast my vote for Hag And when all those screamin' metal bands Have corroded into rust There'll still be a show on Music Row For old outlaws like us Now, I don't have a crystal ball To tell what lies ahead But I play my way, though some folks say Country rock is dead And you may call me old-fashioned You may think I'm insane But rhythm and blues is in my blood And pumping through my veins And I've still got some loyal fans That I know I can trust Who will sell their souls for rock 'n roll And old outlaws like us Repeat Chorus |

Another day on Highway 41 It's a long black snake that runs to the sun My mama told me since the day I was born Son, down in the southland is where you belong So, I'm pitching nickels, pitching dimes Talking trash and drinkin' wine It's just another day in the life of me Hard times and misery I got a mansion looks like a shotgun shack I draw my money from a cotton sack But I finally found one thing that's free That's been hard times and misery So, I'm pitching nickels, pitching dimes Talking trash and drinkin' wine It's just another day in the life of me Hard times and misery Watermelon's are hanging on the vine Thirty some odd years of wasted time When I wake up, Lord, that's all I see It's hard times and misery But there's a train that runs through this town Every evening when the sun goes down Tomorrow night at 8:03 No more hard times and misery So, I'm pitching nickels, pitching dimes Talking trash and drinkin' wine It's just another day in the life of me Hard times and misery |

1st verse:
When I woke up this morning Wiped the sleep from my eyes Found a new day dawning And suddenly I realize You're gone Chorus: Tell me I was dreaming That you didn't leave me here to cry You didn't say you don't love me anymore And it was just my imagination telling lies Tell me that you didn't say goodbye 2nd verse: I'm in a state of confusion I hope things aren't what they seem If this is really happening Just let me go back to dream You're home (chorus) (solo) (chorus) |

When you told me you were leaving Girl I didn't believe a word 'Cause to think that you'd walk out on me Just sounded too absurd I'd like to change the things I did That tore our love apart But that's just wishful thinking on my part Chorus: Well I'm hoping and I'm praying You'll give me one more try 'Cause it's an awful price I'm paying With the tear drops that I've cried I guess I should have listened If I had only been that smart But that's just wishful thinking on my part I found out it's the little things That made our house a home You'd be surprised how much I've learned Every day since you've been gone But I wished I'd learned that lesson Before it broke my heart But that's just wishful thinking on my part Chorus Well that's just wishful thinking on my part |

I was sittin' at a table In a little club downtown Playin' songs on the jukebox And pourin' whiskey down When I heard a sweet voice sayin' "Would you like some company?" And I had to tell her This is just between an old memory and me All my friends tell me That I'm a fool for holding on I know their trying to help me But I've been a fool too long And I don't want to talk about it So why can't they just let me be? 'Cause this is just between An old memory and me And I'm not hurtin' anybody As far as I can see I just need to be alone sometimes While she goes walkin' through my mind Oh, I'm not hurtin' anybody, yeah As far as I can see I just need to be alone sometimes While she goes walkin' through my mind And I don't want to talk about it So why can't everybody see? This is just between An old memory and me Oh, Yeah, Yeah! This is just between Her memory and me |

I took some time down by the ocean Just to try and shake the notion That my world could not continue without you So I took a long vacation Traveled all around the nation Trying hard to rearrange my point of view I went from Birmingham all the way to Boulder And when I looked over my shoulder All I could see was your sweet face shining though And no matter how hard I try To fight off the urge to cry It seems there ain't no vacation from the blues And I can run but I can't hide From the pain I feel inside And there's no one but myself left to accuse So with all these bridges burned There's no pages left to turn And there ain't no vacation from the blues Baby, don't misunderstand me I'm not playing any games I'm trying to find a rainbow But I can't find it for the rain So with all these bridges burned There's no pages left to turn And there ain't no vacation Said there ain't no vacation Said there ain't no vacation From the blues |

He was born in the big iron city Deep in the heart of Dixie, yes he was now Raised on the good Book Taught to take a good look at what's going on His daddy was Birmingham lawman A servant of the people through and through They say blood is thicker than water So the boy got a badge and a suit of blue He was long on southern justice Practiced his law out on the street Drew the line for the criminal mind to see Dedicated to keep God's children free There are two sides to every big city And he walked on the side that wasn't pretty A solitary ranger He had to deal with the danger 'round every turn Every day was a tightrope of decision Between a forty-four and a heart of gold Some of those hard case confrontations Would ct him like a switch-blade to his soul Repeat Chorus Late one night down on Crack Street Alley He walked up on a bad deal goin' down He knew what he'd done When he saw that shotgun swing around He drew then froze in hesitation When he saw that fourteen year old face Then the fire from that shotgun barrel Blew all his burdens away Blew his burdens away Repeat Chorus |
