Folks call me a maverick
Guess I ain't too diplomatic I just never been the kind to go along Just avoidin' confrontation For the sake of conformation And I'll admit I tend to sing a different song But sometimes you just can't be afraid To wear a different hat If Columbus had complied This old world might still be flat Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained Sometimes you've got to go against the grain Well, I have been accused Of makin' my own rules There must be rebel blood Just a-runnin' through my veins But I ain't no hypocrite What you see is what you get And that's the only way I know To play the game Old Noah took much ridicule For building his great ark But after forty days and forty nights He was lookin' pretty smart Sometimes it's best to brave the wind and rain By havin' strength to go against the grain Well, there's more folks than a few Who share my point of view But they're worried If they're gonna sink or swim They'd like to buck the system But the deck is stacked against 'em And they're a little scared To go out on a limb But if you're gonna make a difference If you're gonna leave your mark You can't follow like a bunch of sheep You got to listen to your heart Go bustin' in like old John Wayne Sometimes you got to go against the grain Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained Sometimes you've got to go against the grain |

His eyes are cold and restless
His wounds have almost healed And she'd give half of Texas Just to change the way he feels She knows his love's in Tulsa And she knows he's gonna go Well, it ain't no woman, flesh and blood It's that damned old rodeo Well, it's balls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo She does her best to hold him When his love comes to call But his need for it controls him And her back's against the wall And it's So long girl, I'll see you When it's time for him to go You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo Well, it's balls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It'll drive a cowboy crazy It'll drive a man insane And he'll sell off everything he owns Just to pay to play her game And a broken home and some broken bones Is all he'll have to show For all the years that he spent chasin' This dream they call rodeo Well, it's balls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain And they call the thing rodeo It's the broncs and the blood It's the steers and the mud And they call the thing rodeo |

Well I'm shameless
When it comes to loving you, I'll do anything you want me to, I'll do anything at all. And I'm standing Here for all the world to see, Oh, baby that's what's left of me, I don't have very far to fall. You know now I'm not a man who's ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in. I don't break easy, I have my pride, But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless. Honey, I don't have a prayer. Every time I see you standing there I go down upon my knees. And I'm changing, Swore I'd never compromise, Oh, but you convinced me otherwise. I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down. I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, But I can't walk away from you. I have never let anything have this much control on me. I've worked too hard to call my life my own. And I've made myself a world, and it's worked so perfectly, But it's your world now, I can't refuse, I've never had so much to lose. Oh I'm shameless... You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong. I've never lost anything I ever missed, But I've never been in love like this. It's out of my hands. I'm shameless. I don't have the power now, And I don't want it anyhow, So I gotta let it go. Why I'm shameless. Shameless as a man can be. You could make a total fool of me. I just wanted you to know Why I'm shameless. |

There's a fire burning bright
At our house tonight Slow music playing, soft candlelight On her lips I keep tasting, The warm red wine I'm there in her arms But it's all in my mind The snow is piled high On the highway tonight I'm a ship lost at sea On this ocean of white 18 wheels anchored Somewhere out of Dover I wish I could hold her Instead of hugging This old cold shoulder This old highway Is like a woman sometimes She can be your best friend But she's the real jealous kind She's the lady that leads me To the life I dream of And she's the mistress that keeps me From the one's that I love The snow is piled high On the highway tonight I'm a ship lost at sea On this ocean of white 18 wheels anchored Somewhere out of Dover I wish I could hold her Instead of hugging This old cold shoulder God, I wish I could hold her Instead of hugging This old cold shoulder. |
