I used to smoke and stay out late Sometimes I drank more that I ate I used to think, man, I was bad Why, I'd fight at the drop of a hat I took a walk on the wild side I guess I'm lucky that I survived I had some days I can't forget And sometimes at night I think about 'em yet I miss misbehavin' Yeah, I miss misbehavin' I've settled down now But sometimes I miss misbehavin' There was a girl I do recall She was as tough as she was tall We used to dance to every song Lord, we held each other all night long She used to call me her honey baby I called her my miss misbehavin' I wonder if she's still around And if she's out there misbehavin' now I miss misbehavin' Yeah, I miss misbehavin' I've settled down now But sometimes I miss misbehavin' Yeah, I've settled down now But sometimes I miss misbehavin' |

If you're lost and you're alone
Let me sing you a song Oh, you're not the only lonely one tonight I know what you're goin' through I can sympathize with you I've been wakin' in your shoes all my life I was born with a broken heart Born to lose right from the start Raised on hand-me-down blues That's why I sing the way I do A sad six string and a jukebox voice I'm the lonely people's choice I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart If the sun should ever shine in your life Well, friend, that's fine And may you leave behind these old troubled times that we've shared Oh, but don't look back for me I'm where I'm supposed to be And anywhere there's a lonely street I'll be there I was born with a broken heart Born to lose right from the start Raised on hand-me-down blues That's why I sing the way I do A sad six string and a jukebox voice I'm the lonely people's choice I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart Yes, I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart |

I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way: Aaron Tippin
I've walked the straight and narrow and I've worn a rebel's brand Sometimes I've had to go without for bein' my own man I've rallied to the cause when I knew the cause was right I've cut against the grain, but I've kept my peace of mind And I wouldn't have it any other way If there's a price for bein' me, that's one I'll have to pay I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day I wouldn't have it any other way Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way I could have taken a beaten path every time trouble starts I'd rather take a beatin' than to ever cross my heart Stickin' to my guns, can't be sold or bought Holdin' to my honor no matter what the cost And I wouldn't have it any other way If there's a price for bein' me, that's one I'll have to pay I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day I wouldn't have it any other way Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way |

When I look back on this life
And all the things that I have done Lord, I've paid some pretty prices For never backing up But now that I've had time alone And I've been through every page There's only one part of my story That I wish that I could change If I had it to do over And I knew then what I know now I'd do anything I had to To keep you from walking out Your love would be the only reason For anything that I'd undo Yes, if I had it to do over I'd do it over you There are bridges I have burned There are promises I've made And the ones that I have broken I'll have to carry to my grave And when I stand before the judge And answer for my every deed The only one that I'll regret Is what I've done to you and me Yes if I had it to do over And I knew then what I know now I'd do anything I had to To keep you from walking out Your love would be the only reason For anything that I'd undo Yes, if I had it to do over I'd do it over you If I had it to do over I'd do it over you |

Somewhere out there in the smoky air
Where the night is neon blue Surrounded by strangers, she don't know the dangers One drink could lead her to And if she falls, it's all my fault For doin' a good woman wrong I can't be far behind her Oh, Lord, help me find her Before my angel is gone Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Last night when she left I told myself That she wouldn't go too far Now I'm not so sure how long her tears Could last in a stranger's arms She's wounded I know and feeling so low She could fall at anytime I don't know what I'd do if I were to lose That precious angel of mine Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Yes, tell her heaven without her feels like hell tonight |

I've got some mighty tall tales from livin' hard and fast
I'm a walkin,' talkin,' livin,' breathin,' portrait of my past I've double-crossed the devil, prayed the Lord my soul to keep Escaped some early graves by the skin of my teeth All the deepest secrets of my soul the world can plainly see 'Cause everything I've ever done is written all over me If you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mine Every wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of art That reminds me of mistakes that I've made And no story I can tell can tell it quite as well As these souvenirs that livin's left behind So take a long, hard look at the cover of this book And read between the lines And read between the lines They might be hard to find on this rigid face of stone There are pleasant deep impressions that are solid as gold And I'll be the first to tell you that this ol' boy's been blessed 'Cause even the worst of times have turned out for the best Like roads on a map they cross a battered stretch of skin You can trace your way through memory lane to anywhere I've been If you just read between the lines of this well-weathered face of mine Every wrinkle, every scar was a painful work of art That reminds me of mistakes that I've made And no story I can tell can tell it quite as well As these souvenirs that livin's left behind So take a long, hard look at the cover of this book And read between the lines And read between the lines |

Girl, I've got scars and I've seen stars
From men nearly twice my size Yeah, life's sticks and stones have broke a few bones But I've always survived So when I take a look at all I've took It don't seem right to me How a little bitty woman with just a few words Come bring me to my knees Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips I'd rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns Rear back and let 'em fly 'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much As the sound of your goodbye Yeah, I know I'm the reason you're leavin' I'm to blame sure enough It's like you say there ain't a woman made That can live without true love So if it's too late to set things straight And there's no forgivin' me Then don't say nothin,' just pick you up somethin' That'll end this misery. Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips I'd rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns Rear back and let 'em fly 'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much As the sound of your goodbye |

Sometimes she runs, sometimes she don't
More than once she's left me on the side of the road The older she gets, the slower we go But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio She needs a carburetor, a set of plug wires She's riding me around on four bald tires The wipers don't work and the horn don't blow But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass Dual attennas whippin' in the wind Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio I got stopped by a cop late last night Out-of-date tags and no tail lights He said, "I oughta run you in, but I'm lettin' you go Because there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio" Got the best lookin' gal in my hometown I asked her last time that I took her out Honey, tell me what it is that makes you love me so She said, "there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio" I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass Dual attennas a-whippin' in the wind Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio No, she ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio |

You reach out and touch me and tell me you love me
And promise that you always will But as I start to kiss your tender lips I wake up to my living hell These sweet dreams are killin' me Your heavenly memory is pure misery I'm losing my mind one night as a time These sweet dreams are killin' me When sleep comes I hold you just like I used to In a world where our love still lives But each mornin' I wake as I feel my heart break When I lose you all over again These sweet dreams are killin' me Your heavenly memory is pure misery I'm losing my mind one night as a time These sweet dreams are killin' me These sweet dreams are killin' me These sweet dreams are killin' me |

God gave me the will to survive, a good strong back and a mind
And all the tough stuff it takes to fill a man's shoes Then God put this heart in me for you It pushes the blood through my veins To swing this nine pound hammer one more day But there's only one reason why it beats so true God put this heart in me for you This heart really don't belong to me This heart will be yours eternally The man upstairs put it there 'cause He knows what to do I'd be nothin' but flesh, blood and bones If I had to walk through this world alone Just a ramblin' fool, a blind, stubborn brute Without this heart in me for you This heart really don't belong to me This heart will be yours eternally The man upstairs put it there 'cause He knows what to do God put this in my for you Yes, God put this heart in me for you |

I had dreams that were bigger than the Montana sky
And we were gonna do great in Great Falls I just knew we were this time But when winter finally broke, so were we You'll never know how bad that hurt 'Cause this ain't what I meant When I promised you the world I lost the farm in Kansas Along with a lot of pride Then I almost lost my life Down in that West Virginia mine And that motel room in Memphis Was a long way from diamonds and pearls And that sure ain't what I meant When I promised you the world I swear your love is stronger Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through And I swear I wasn't lyin' They just never did come true You've always bet on this old gambler Every time I gave the wheel a whirl But this ain't what I meant When I promised you the world Now this Shreveport sun is settin' On another broken dream of mine And I guess that mansion on the hill Is pretty hard to see tonight But as long as there's a breath of life in me I'm gonna get it for you, girl 'Cause this ain't what I meant When I promised you the world I swear your love is stronger Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through And I swear I wasn't lyin' They just never did come true You've always bet on this old gambler Every time I gave the wheel a whirl But this ain't what I meant When I promised you the world No, this sure ain't what I meant When I promised you the world |

That loved to sing and play He brought his music from the cotton fields To the the hillbilly hall of fame Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers Chisel his name in the cornerstone I just wish he could've lived to see the day When country took the throne Now a million songs have come and gone Since we made that humble start About neon nights, everyday life Love and broken hearts And more and more folks Kept tuning in and turning on Now I can proudly say that I saw the day When country took the throne Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York They can't get enough of this country stuff And they're screaming for more We painted the town with that grand old sound And the whole world sang along Yes, I was there the day When country took the throne Now, no one knows what the future holds But I bet my best guitar There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter And a honky-tonk on Mars In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer The best music ever known They'll celebrate that age old day When country took the throne Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York They can't get enough of this country stuff And they're screaming for more We painted the town with that grand old sound And the whole world sang along Yes, I was there the day When country took the throne I said I was there the day When country took the throne |

He said Music City is my destination He said The whole wide world's gonna sing my song And you can take that to the bank I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank He got a furnished room and a job at the market He kept a little notebook in his back pocket And every time you'd see him he was writing a song And he would never leave one piece blank (he'd say) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank He sang when no one would listen So he sang until they hung on every word Ah then one day his phone started ringing They said we want you and the songs you've been singing And the kid said fine, just give me some time To talk to my patron saint (you see) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank (Yes sir,) That night as he laid in the darkness Ol' Luke the drifter came to him and said Oh now here's your chance boy go on and take it You sing from the heart and you're gonna make it But if anybody tries to change you Into something that you ain't (you tell 'em) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank |

Her last lonely teardrop fell
Along about nine o'clock His memory was history Before she hit the parking lot She busted through them swingin' doors Sashaying to and fro She's got a new attitude yes she's over that dude And she wants the world to know that (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight Just like a kid in a candy store She's checking out the merchandise But she wants to find the keeping kind Who will keep her satisfied And he's gotta be strong gotta be tough And he's gotta have a tender touch So if you fit the bill brother don't sit still Come on step right up 'cause (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight I said she feels like a brand new man tonight |

A million reasons why I could
But only one why I won't 'Cause the one who'd probably never know Is the reason that I don't I can't say that I'm not tempted I'm just like any other man But when I walk out of here alone woman I hope you understand She's standin' on the promises That she gave to me So I'm standin' on the promises I promised her I'd keep It'd be so easy for anyone To justify the wrong Fall right into your arms And say to hell with being strong But there's one thing I know for sure She'd never play this kind of game And for her faith in out love I'll do her the same 'cause She's standin' on the promises That she gave to me So I'm standin' on the promises I promised her I'd keep Yes she's standin' on the promises That she gave to me So I'm standin' on the promises I promised her I'd keep |

You are the woman
Who started a fire in my soul And to this day it's still burning out of control With my final breath your name will cross my tongue You are the woman there'll never be another one I've stared into the eyes of strangers Wondering if I'd ever find you girl The one that I could build my dreams around To fill my empty world And now I look at you and know it's true My search is finally done This love that I've held on to for so long Was meant for only one You are the woman beautiful woman God only knows just why you chose to love only me You are the woman oh precious woman Right her and now I give this vow There'll never be another one Right here and now I give this vow Oh there'll never be another one |

Desperation in my mother's eyes Factory whistle would wake me in the morning At night the sirens sang my lullaby Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle Heart of leather and hands of steel Thought I was too much of a sole survivor To ever feel the way I feel CHORUS But I don't want to live without your love I don't want to live without your love I can't take another night And I've lost the will to fight I don't want to live without your love Dance with the Devil in a bottle of whiskey I paid the fiddler for every song You'd think with all the lessons learned the hard way I'd know enough to be strong (repeat chorus) |

Here to drown him and forget him So I set her up again to wash him down She had just about succeeded When that low-down, no-good cheatin' Good-for-nothing came strutting through the crowd Oh, he was laying it on so thick He never missed a lick Professing his neverending love Oh, but I never will forget When she stood up and said So I guess you think we're just gonna kiss and make up, don't you That's when she said Why don't you kiss, kiss this And I don't mean on my rosy red lips Me and you, we're through And there's only one thing left for you to do You just come on over here one last time Pucker up and close your eyes And kiss this goodbye Well, the next thing I recall She had him back against the wall Chewing him like a bulldog on a bone She was putting him in his place And I mean right up in his face Dragging him down a list of done-me-wrongs Well, it was just about now That the crowd gathered 'round They've come to watch him pay for his every sin She called him everything under the sun And when we thought that she was done She reared back and she let him have it again, man She said, she said Why don't you kiss, kiss this And I don't mean on my rosy red lips Hey, me and you, we're through And there's only one thing left for you to do You just come on over here one last time Pucker up and close your eyes And kiss this Hey, kiss this And I don't mean on my rosy red lips Me and you, we're through And there's only one thing left for you to do You just come on over here one last time Pucker up and close your eyes And kiss this goodbye Hey, kiss this goodbye (see ya) |

The first time we went all the way
I can truly say it was way beyond my wildest dreams And I never can forget the day We spent tangled up in satin sheets And I never thought we'd top the time that you and I Oh, baby that was so sweet Even though that was incredible not I know The best was yet to be Chorus The best love we ever made Kept us up all night And it's still growing every day Right before our very eyes And we're so amazed we could create Such a priceless work of art Oh, the best love we ever made Is this precious child of ours The first time our baby cried I knew our lives were never gonna be the same In the heart of me, a part of me Opened up a new kind of love I can't explain Now all this time I thought That I was living life for you and me alone Oh, but holding this miracle Now, I know that I was wrong Repeat Chorus Oh, the best love we ever made Is this precious child of ours |

I hollered "hey honey, I'm home" like I do every day at four
But the TV ain't on and the car is gone, she must be at the store Then I spied this piece of paper it looked like a list of things to do But when I got down to number six I realized we were through The plumber couldn't make it today, I've decided that I'm going away The dog's at the vet the hearing is set Do you see what I'm trying to say Don't forget to take out the trash, I'm sorry but I'm not coming back Now you can't sugar coat what she really wrote Ain't that a hell of a note I just stood there and scratched my head, my chin dropped to the floor Not even a tear after all these years, I expected a little bit more I was countin' on grabbin' a good, cold beer Stretchin' out on the couch But she went by the numbers and I got counted out The plumber couldn't make it today, I've decided that I'm going away The dog's at the vet the hearing is set Do you see what I'm trying to say Don't forget to take out the trash, I'm sorry but I'm not coming back Now you can't sugar coat what she really wrote Ain't that a hell of a note Lordy, ain't that a hell of a note |

I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors
Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours And I struck out across Texas, gonna walk it line to line Now I'm halfway cross New Mexico, but you're still on my mind And this road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on As I ask myself with every step will I ever be alone I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I was deep in California when I finally made a friend And it was me and that old hobo till you showed up again Then he ran out of liquor and I've run out of time I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind And I'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours |

Somewhere out there in the smoky air
Where the night is neon blue Surrounded by strangers, she don't know the dangers One drink could lead her to And if she falls, it's all my fault For doin' a good woman wrong I can't be far behind her Oh, Lord, help me find her Before my angel is gone Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Last night when she left I told myself That she wouldn't go too far Now I'm not so sure how long her tears Could last in a stranger's arms She's wounded I know and feeling so low She could fall at anytime I don't know what I'd do if I were to lose That precious angel of mine Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Yes, tell her heaven without her feels like hell tonight |

More than once she's left me on the side of the road The older she gets, the slower we go But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio She needs a carburetor, a set of plug wires She's riding me around on four bald tires The wipers don't work and the horn don't blow But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass Dual attennas whippin' in the wind Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio I got stopped by a cop late last night Out-of-date tags and no tail lights He said, "I oughta run you in, but I'm lettin' you go Because there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio" Got the best lookin' gal in my hometown I asked her last time that I took her out Honey, tell me what it is that makes you love me so She said, "there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio" I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass Dual attennas a-whippin' in the wind Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio No, she ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio |

That loved to sing and play He brought his music from the cotton fields To the the hillbilly hall of fame Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers Chisel his name in the cornerstone I just wish he could've lived to see the day When country took the throne Now a million songs have come and gone Since we made that humble start About neon nights, everyday life Love and broken hearts And more and more folks Kept tuning in and turning on Now I can proudly say that I saw the day When country took the throne Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York They can't get enough of this country stuff And they're screaming for more We painted the town with that grand old sound And the whole world sang along Yes, I was there the day When country took the throne Now, no one knows what the future holds But I bet my best guitar There'll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter And a honky-tonk on Mars In the last frontier they'll stand and cheer The best music ever known They'll celebrate that age old day When country took the throne Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York They can't get enough of this country stuff And they're screaming for more We painted the town with that grand old sound And the whole world sang along Yes, I was there the day When country took the throne I said I was there the day When country took the throne |

night When an old cowboy came through the door He took a few shaky steps Then he started to moan And he keeled over right on the floor Doc came on over, took his stethoscope out He listened and he looked in his eyes He said, "Boys stick around I just might need your help I'm afraid this will be a long night" CHORUS Cause there's a five gallon tear, a five- gallon tear Lodged in this poor boy's heart By the look in his eyes he ain't cried in years And he's reatining a five gallon tear Doc wrote a prescription to induce him to cry It was whiskey and sad country songs We propped him up in a booth And poured a drink down his throat Then we turned that old wurlitzer on Well he spluttered and he coughed And he hung down his head As those lonely songs worked on his heart When the memories started coming six minutes apart We laid him face-up on the bar SECOND CHORUS And then a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear Slowly welled up in his eyes We all yelled, "Push!" and we all gave a cheer When he cried that five gallon tear BRIDGE That jar by the door don't hold pig feet no more The contents are sparkling clear That liquid within is not moonshine or gin It's a reminder to everyone here THIRD CHORUS Yeah, it's a five gallon tear, a five gallon tear Let this be a lesson to you Keep your sorrow inside for too many years And you'll cry that five gallon tear Buddy you'll cry You'll cry a five gallon tear Reprise: REPEAT THIRD CHORUS FADE |

Were the water tower and a young boy's dreams I Believed In a little house of simple means Where doing without was a common scene I Believed On a dried up square of worthless Earth Where we scratched our living out of The Dirt I Believed In a little brown church where I first heard The choir sing and the preacher's word I Belived, oh I believed CHORUS And the closer that I looked within The further I could see And I really didn't have much other choice So, I believed In a high-rise world of steel and glass Where a man dies young if he don't think fast I Believed On the streets where the truth is hard to find And what's in it for me is the bottom line I Believed In a place whre people don't seem to care They turn their backs like you're not there I Believed Yeah, where anything goes, it usually does I held my breath and bit my tongue And I believed, Oh I Believed REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE In a higher place, in a deeper faith In a power stronger than you or me I Believed Now when they put that granite on my grave All I want that stone to say is I Believed And where I'm from and the woman I love The job I did and God Above I Believed, I Believed, I Believed I Believed, I Believed, I Believed |

Have I got the deal for you
Would you like to have a t-bone steak and lobster Served on the finest china Accompanied by a bottle of the world's greatest wine Served in a crystal glass Alone Or would you rather have A Big Mac, an order of fries, a cherry pie Underneath a big oak tree Sittin' on a blanket Snuggled up with the one you love. CHORUS I'll talk love over money Forget the green, give me honey Some people work work work their lives away But I'll take love over money Any day Okay check this out You're on the streets of Paris Standing underneath the Ifle Tower Surrounded by all the magical things the City of Romance has to offer But you're all alone. Or would you rather be at the state fair Standing in line for the Tilt-A-Whirl Eatin' cotton candy MMMM that's good Drinking a Dr. Pepper And stealing a kiss from the one you love. CHORUS Okay now think about this That's it, a low flowin', red slick, candy apple, Rockin' sled of a Farrari Price tag 205 and some change But no one and I mean absolutely no one will ever be in the passenger seat with you Or would you rather have a 1989 Mud gray 150 extended cab with 4 wheel drive And sittin' right next to you as close as the law will allow Chewing bubble gum, singin' in your ear Along with Lynyrd Skynyrd Is the one you love CHORUS (2 TIMES) |

Well, sometimes I wish we'd bought the
kind That folds out into a bed But it ain't too bad if you lay on your side And use the armrest for you head Yeah, the springs are sprung and the center sags And the stuffing is sticking out But it's times like these she ain't happy with me I thank God for this old couch Yeah, right about now she's as P.O.'ed As I've ever seen her be And this pillow and blanket and a mighty dirty look Tells me where I'm gonna sleep I learned a long time ago don't say nothing and soon she'll simmer down And with a little bit of luck we'll kiss and make up Sitting right here on this old couch CHORUS Yeah, this old couch is a pretty safe place while she blows off a little steam Well she's mad as hell but that's alright She ain't getting rid of me 'Cause there ain't no quitting Just fogiving and forgetting That's what love's about and we both know I'll never go no further Than this old couch It might take five minutes, take five days It really all depends On how long it takes for the begging and the pleading To finally start soaking in Yeah, one of these days I'm gonna learn Not to stick my big foot in my big mouth Yeah, and maybe then I won't have to spend so much time along Yeah, Right - ,br> REPEAT CHORUS Yeah, this old couch,br> Yeah, one potato, two potato, three potato, four potato I'm a couch potato "Hey honey, you still mad?" I'm sorry...A Lot!" |

We've got a problem we can't get around
It's gotten too big to just tear down We built a wall out of thin air Now I'm over here and you're over there I'm afraid that there's no two ways to it This wall could be our undoing Can't raise the ceiling, can't lower the floor Only thing left is to build a door A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall That's all A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall Might fall You get a hammer and I'll get a saw And we'll give this wall what-for What we need between you and me is a door We might get sweaty, might get dirty A couple of splinters would be well worth it We'll hang it right here, level and plumb And then we'll shake hands on a job well done Once that door's standing open We'll get some communication going We'll reach out, and the next thing we know This wall'll come down like Jericho A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall That's all A window won't work and a ladder stretched that tall Might fall You get a hammer and I'll get a saw And we'll give this wall what-for What we need between you and me is a door A door ain't nothing but a way to get through a wall That's all A window won't work, and a ladder stretched that tall Might fall You get a hammer and I'll get a saw And we'll give this wall what-for What we need between you and me is a door |

It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block And it may not look like we got all our share of the promise But at least one thing's for sure, I got it honest Roll out of the sack every mornin', head on down to the mill Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal If you'll check out my paycheck Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin' a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my heart be ruled by greed 'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't want it That way I can always say, I got it honest Now you ain't looking at some dude That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth And I might seem like some kind of low-life To that high-falutin' crowd But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin' And damn proud of what I have acomplished Some folks appreciate that and some don't But, I got it honest Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune But I hope they know'd my life stood for things that were important And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin' a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my heart be ruled by greed 'Cause brother if I didn't earn it, I don't want it That way I can always say, I got it honest Friend there ain't no doubt about it, I got it honest |

If you're lost and you're alone
Let me sing you a song Oh, you're not the only lonely one tonight I know what you're goin' through I can sympathize with you I've been wakin' in your shoes all my life I was born with a broken heart Born to lose right from the start Raised on hand-me-down blues That's why I sing the way I do A sad six string and a jukebox voice I'm the lonely people's choice I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart If the sun should ever shine in your life Well, friend, that's fine And may you leave behind these old troubled times that we've shared Oh, but don't look back for me I'm where I'm supposed to be And anywhere there's a lonely street I'll be there I was born with a broken heart Born to lose right from the start Raised on hand-me-down blues That's why I sing the way I do A sad six string and a jukebox voice I'm the lonely people's choice I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart Yes, I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart |

I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors
Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours And I struck out across Texas, gonna walk it line to line Now I'm halfway cross New Mexico, but you're still on my mind And this road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on As I ask myself with every step will I ever be alone I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I was deep in California when I finally made a friend And it was me and that old hobo till you showed up again Then he ran out of liquor and I've run out of time I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind And I'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours |

I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way: Aaron Tippin
I've walked the straight and narrow and I've worn a rebel's brand Sometimes I've had to go without for bein' my own man I've rallied to the cause when I knew the cause was right I've cut against the grain, but I've kept my peace of mind And I wouldn't have it any other way If there's a price for bein' me, that's one I'll have to pay I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day I wouldn't have it any other way Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way I could have taken a beaten path every time trouble starts I'd rather take a beatin' than to ever cross my heart Stickin' to my guns, can't be sold or bought Holdin' to my honor no matter what the cost And I wouldn't have it any other way If there's a price for bein' me, that's one I'll have to pay I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day I wouldn't have it any other way Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way |
