Saw a man in the movies, that didn't have a heart
How I wish, I could give him mine Then I wouldn't have to feel, it breakin' all apart And this emptiness inside, would suit me fine It's times like these, I wish I were the tin man You could hurt me all you wanted, and I would never even know Well I'd give anything, just to be the tin man And I wouldn't have a heart, and I wouldn't need a soul I couldn't see your leavin' comin', you took me by surprise Even now, it still seems like a dream But I know I can't be dreamin', 'cause as I lay down each night The pain so great, that it won't let me sleep It's times like these, I wish I were the tin man You could hurt me all you wanted, and I'd never even know I'd give anything, just to be the tin man And I wouldn't have a heart, and I wouldn't need a soul Well I'd give anything, just to be the tin man And I wouldn't have a heart, and I wouldn't miss you so |

Jack and Diane painted a picture of my life and my dreams
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me Well, I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along 'Cause every time I hear that song. I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy Driving my first love out to the levee Livin' life with no sense of time I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks Every time I hear that song, I go back I go back. Well, I used to rock all night long To Keep On Rocking Me, Baby At frat parties, college bars, just trying to impress the ladies Well, I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along 'Cause everytime I hear that song. I go back to the smell of an old gym floor The taste of salt on a Carolina shore After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends I go back to watchin' summer fade to fall Growin' up too fast and I do recall Wishing time would stop right in it's tracks Everytime I hear that song, I go back I go back. We all have a song that's somehow stamped our lives That takes us to another place and time. So, I go back to a pew, preacher and a choir Singin' 'bout God and brimstone and fire And the smell of Sunday chicken after church I go back to the loss of a real good friend And the sixteen summers I shared with him Now, Only The Good Die Young stops me in my tracks Everytime I hear that song, I go back I go back. To the feel of a fifty yard line A blanket, a girls, and some raspberry wine I go back To watching summer fade to fall Growing up too fast and I do recall I go back To the loss of a real good friend And the sixteen summers I shared with him I go back.

Sack full of groceries, split down the sides Can goods scattered all the way to the curb The look on her face saying, don't say a word So it's me and her, and a can of beans Sittin' there on the front porch swing The western sky all turning red Head on my shoulder, she sighed and said. I've been goffering', chaufferin', company chairman Coffee maker, copy repairman Any more there aint nothing I swear man, that I don't do. I've been jugglin', strugglin', closin' big deals Dancin' backwards in high heels And just when it feels like I can't make it through. She said, It sure is nice to just be the woman with you. She said, The girl I was with a business degree Probably wouldn't recognize me I was gonna run the bank, I was gonna run the math Now all I wanna run is a bubble bath Back then you know I had this plan Before all of this reality set in Here'd come life boy, ready or not Hey, I wanted it all and thats what I got.

His old man was a rebel yeller
Bad boy to the bone He'd say, Can't trust a colored feller. He'd judge them by the tone of their skin. He was raised to think like his dad Narrowminded, full of hate On the road to nowhere fast Til the grace of God got in the way. Then he saw the light and hit his knees, Cried and said a prayer Rose up a brand new man Left the old one right there. Here's to the strong Thanks to the brave Don't give up hope Some people change Against all odds Against the grain Love finds a way Some people change. She was born with her mother's habit Guess you could say it's in her blood She hates it that she's gotta have it She fills her glass up. She'd love to kill that bottle But all she could think about is A better life, a second chance And everyone she's lettin' down She throws that bottle down. Here's to the strong Thanks to the brave Don't give up hope Some people change Against all odds Against the grain Love finds a way Some people change. Thank God for those who make it Let them be the light.

He liked sleeping out on top of the car He drank beer out of a mason jar And he'd climb up on everyone in bed A wide frame house in a college town A bunch of people always hanging around No real problems we needed to drown But we tried our best anyway We went to class just to pass the time Back in '89 We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet This old guitar taught me how to score Right there on that Lambda Chi porch Mary Ann taught me a little more About what one you can't have Sweatshirts and flag football Spring breaks down in Panama For a while we had it all We never dreamed it wouldn't last We went to class just to pass the time Back in '89 We had a keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet We all kind of went our separate ways But I swear it seems like yesterday Keg in the closet, pizza on the floor Left over from the night before Where we were going we didn't really care We had all we ever wanted In that keg in the closet |

You know sometimes me and my lady have these crazy fights
And when we do it makes me wonder if we're ever goin to get right When I think about leaving, I think about me What my life would be like if I were back to being free. Where I wanna go, what I wanna do, Wouldn't have a soul I have to answer to When I think about leaving, I think about me. You know, I gotta friend and him and his wife just couldn't see eye to eye. He had all he could stand one day and packed up and said goodbye. When I think about leavin, I think about him That little apartment 'cross town he's livin in. Got an old corvette, got a new girlfriend, But he only sees his kids every other weekend. When I think about leaving, I think about him. I never will forget her face the day she told me about her dad. How he walked out on her and her mom when she was just a kid. When I think about leavin, oh I think about her Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt. With her little arms wrapped around his neck Sayin "Daddy where ya goin? Are you comin back?" When I think about leavin, oh I think about her. You know the truth is, most of the time things are really great. And I know we got something special. When I think about leavin, I think about us How we built this love we share on faith and trust. The honest way we talk, the tender way we touch, All those nights we spent makin' love. When I think about leavin, oh I think about us. When I think about leavin, oh I think again Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then. In my heart I know I will never leave, There's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be When I think about leavin, I think again. When I think about leavin, When I think about leavin, When I think about leavin, I think again. |

Sitting in the sand Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands It sways back and forth With the help of the winds It seems to always be there, like an old trusted friend I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the world through a bus windshield But nothing compares to the way that I see it To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it When I sit in that old blue chair From that chair I've caught a few fish and some rays And I've watched boats sail in and out of cinnamon bay I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart Prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the world through a bus windshield But nothing compares to the way that I see it To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it When I sit in that old blue chair That chair was my bed one New Year's night When I passed out from too much Malibu and diet And I woke up to a hundred mosquito bites I swear, got em all sitting right there In that old blue chair There's a blue rocking chair Sitting in the sand Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands |

He said a snake is just as scared of you, as you are of him He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite Seems there was nothing that he didn't know And as a kid I believed, 'cause grandpa told me so He talked daddy into letting me have my first car I thought I was really something till Becky Thompson broke my heart That first taste of love nearly did me in Getting over her was slow And I knew someday I would, 'cause grandpa told me so He said life was made for you to live The best love is the love that you give There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go And I lived by those words, 'cause grandpa told me so I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again Somewhere down the road And I believed, 'cause grandpa told me so He said life was made for you to live The best love is the love that you give There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go And I lived by those words, 'cause grandpa told me so He said life was made for you to live The best love is the love that you give There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go And I lived by those words, 'cause grandpa told me so Yeah and I still believe, 'cause grandpa told me so Grandpa told me so I still believe Grandpa told me so I still believe Yeah and I still believe |

Her long legs looked like trouble
As she sashayed through the door And my mind flashed a warning sign That I chose to ignore For the prize I thought that I could win The risk seemed mighty small The bigger the fool the harder the fall I fell in love in the heat of passion Oh, but passion has it's price Under all that beauty Beat a heart that was made of ice God knows as far as I could see she didn't have a flaw But the bigger the fool the harder the fall I said a woman to keep The softer the skin The sweeter the love The more bitter the end Well, one lesson I've learned that applies to all The bigger the fool the harder the fall One day she was lovin' me The next day she was gone And I became another verse To a lonesome heartbreak song Now that I've learned to face the truth The words stick in my craw Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall I said a woman to keep The softer the skin The sweeter the love The more bitter the end Well, one lesson I've learned that applies to all The bigger the fool the harder the fall The bigger the fool the harder the fall |

There's a blue rocking chair
Sitting in the sand Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands It sways back and forth With the help of the winds It seems to always be there, like an old trusted friend I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the world through a bus windshield But nothing compares to the way that I see it To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it When I sit in that old blue chair From that chair I've caught a few fish and some rays And I've watched boats sail in and out of cinnamon bay I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart Prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the world through a bus windshield But nothing compares to the way that I see it To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it When I sit in that old blue chair That chair was my bed one New Year's night When I passed out from too much Malibu and diet And I woke up to a hundred mosquito bites I swear, got em all sitting right there In that old blue chair There's a blue rocking chair Sitting in the sand Weathered by the storms and well oiled hands |

Tired of my beeper, tired of my phone
Tired of this tired old tie I got on Sick of this traffic jam that I'm in, We all get sick of it all now and then. When I've had it up to here I go down there. To guitars,and tiki bars, and a whole lotta love, Mangos and marley you know, fit me like a glove. Sixth gear with nowhere to steer when enough is enough, It's guitars, tiki bars, and a whole lotta love. I feel like a fish jerked out of the sea, Or a bird in a cage that's never seen a key, Sick of this grind and I think that I ought To bring this grind to a grinding hault. Now I've had it up to here let's go down there. To guitars, tiki bars, and a whole lotta love, Mangos and marley you know, fit me like a glove. Sixth gear with nowhere to steer when enough is enough, It's guitars, tiki bars, and a whole lotta love. Now I've had it up to here let's go down there.

He left Maine 'cause he needed a change,
And he was desperate to rearange priorities, And he thought the sea, Would be the best place to be. So he saved his money, sold his car, And with his eye set on a southern star, He got the courage to follow his heart, He set out for a brand new start. He's an island boy, Now he's an island boy Livin his life where stress is the enemy Now he's an island boy, A stone's throw from St. Croix, He's finaly found his piece of serenity. Now he tends bar, at the Old Mango, And he see's tourists come and go, With their pressed pants and camera case, Too much sunburn on their face. Now he watches the snow on CNN, With all of his dope smokin friends, Just look at the Hell they must be in He swears he won't go back again. 'Cause, He's an island boy, Now he's an island boy. Livin his life where stress is the enemy Now he's an island boy, A stone's throw from St. Croix, He's finaly found his piece of serenity. You know the love of his life has always been Emily, She loves the the man she sees. In her island boy, Now he's an island boy Livin his life where stress is the enemy Now he's an island boy, A stone's throw from St. Croix, He's finally found his piece of serenity. Island boy. A stone's throw from St. Croix. Island boy, island boy, island boy... |

In a little town down south
There's little plow-board house With a wolf outside the door And in the bedroom there's a light It's been staying on all night For at least a month or more The heartaches and the bills keep coming due And with all they're going through It's no small miracle, that love hangs on Hearts get weary, when hope is gone In a world where roses, wither and die It's no small miracle, when love survives It's been uphill for a while But he still makes her smile Every now and then Lately they been finding out It's the little things that count And they do what they can He tells her he loves her everyday She says things will be ok It's no small miracle, that love hangs on Hearts get weary, when hope is gone In a world where roses, wither and die It's no small miracle, when love survives In a world where roses, wither and die It's no small miracle, when love survives |

I've been a fool for love ever since
I was a baby just a rockin' in the cradle As a rule I was the kind who Laid his feelings right down on the table Gave my world so many times Just to see them tear it apart Whoa, Lord, have a little bit of pity On my poor old heart I wonder just how many times a broken heart can mend Oh, when I get back on my feet Lord, I always fall again Rubies, furs, lies, goodbyes they've all left some scars Whoa, Lord, have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart Well, I ought to know by now After of these dead and heartache lessons I can go without going through hell Trying to find a little heaven Seems to me every woman I meet Has leaving down to an art Oh Lord, have a little bit of pity On my poor old heart I wonder just how many times a broken heart can mend Oh, when I get back on my feet Lord, I always fall again Rubies, furs, lies, goodbyes they've all left some scars Whoa, Lord, have a little bit of pity on my poor old heart Well, I said rubies, furs, lies, goodbyes They've all left some scars Whoa, Lord, have a little bit of pity On my poor old heart I said Lord, have a little bit of pity On my poor old heart |

Lookin back now, well it makes me laugh,
we were growin our hair, we were cuttin' class, knew it all already there was nothing to learn, we were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn. Listen to our music just a little too loud, we were hangin' in there with the outcast crowd, headin' to the rapids with some discount beer, it was a long train trestle but we had no fear, Man I don't know, where the time goes but it sure goes fast, just like that, We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue In our rock n roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes Had no excuses for the things that we'd done We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly Young Talked a good game, when we were out with the guys But in the backseat we were awkward and shy, Girls were a mystery that we couldn't explain, And I guess there are some things that are never gonna change Man I don't know where the time goes But it sure goes fast, just like that We were wannabe rebels that didn't have a clue In our rock n roll teeshirts and our typically bad attitudes Had no excuses for the things that we'd done We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly Young Young, young, Yeah and wishing we were older Young, Hey I wish it wasn't over Man I don't know, where the time goes, but it sure goes fast, just like that We were wanna be rebels that didn't have a clue In our rock n roll t-shirts and our typically bad attitudes Had no excuses for the things that we'd done We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly Young Young, Hey and wishing we were older And I wish it wasn't over |

Sittin' here alone
Thoughts of you run wild I'm longin' for your touch Haunted by your smile No use in tryin' to erase No one could ever take your place. I remember how it used to feel Back when our love was strong and real And I remember tears in your eyes When I looked at you and said goodbye All I want right now is to forget Every single thing that I regret Drown out these embers But I remember. --- Instrumental --- It's yesterday again, Here inside my mind I can't find a way To leave your love behind I wanna wake up to the day Your memory won't stand in my way. I remember how it used to feel Back when our love was strong and real And I remember tears in your eyes How I looked at you and said goodbye All I want right now is to forget Every single thing that I regret Drown out these embers But I remember. --- Instrumental --- I wanna wake up to the day Your memory won't stand in my way.

I'd of spent a lot more time in the pouring rain
without an umbrella coverin my head And I'd have stood up to that bully when he pushed and called me names, but I was too afraid And I'd have gone and saw Elvis that night he came to town But momma said I couldn't And I'd have went skinny dippin with Jimmy Carson that time she dared me to, but I didn't O I, I'd done a lot of things different I wish I'd have spent more time with my dad when he was alive Now I don't have the chance And I wish I had told my brother how much I love him before he went off to war, But I just shook his hand I wish I'd have gone to church on Sunday morning when my grandma begged me to, But I was afraid of God. And I wish I'd have listened when they said boy you're gonna wish you hadn't, But I wouldn't O I, I'd done a lot of things different People say they wouldn't change a thing Even if they could O but I would There was this red dress she wanted one time so bad she could taste it I should of bought it, but I didn't She wanted to paint our bedroom yellow and trim it in blues and greens, But I wouldn't let her Wouldn't have hurt nothin' She loved to be held and kissed and touched But I didn't do it not nearly enough And if I'd of know that dance was gonna be our last dance I'd of asked that band to play on and on, on and on O I, I'd done a lot of things different People say they wouldn't change a thing Even if they could O but I would oo, oo O I, I'd done a lot of things different O I, I'd done a lot of things I think we'd all do a lot of things different |

Well me and my lady had our first big fight
So I drove around till I saw the neon lights The corner bar It just seemed right, so I pulled up Not a soul around but the old bar keep down at the end lookin' half asleep He walked up and said "What'll it be?" I said,"The good stuff" He didn't reach around for the whiskey He didn't pour me a beer His blue eyes kind of went misty He said, "You can't find that here." CHORUS 1 Cause its the first long kiss on a second date your momma's all worried when you get home late Droppin the ring in the spaghetti plate cause your hands are shakin so much It's the way that she looks with her eyes in her hair Eatin' burnt suppers the whole first year and askin for seconds to keep her from tearin' up Yeah man, that's the good stuff He grabbed a carton of milk and he poured a glass then I smiled and said, "I'll have some of that." We sat there and talked as an hour passed like old friends Saw a black and white picture and it caught my stare It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair He said, "That's my Bonnie, taken 'bout a year after we wed." He said, "Spent 5 years in the bottle, when the cancer took her from me, But Ive been sober 3 years now 'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey Chorus 2 Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl The way she adored that string of pearls I gave her the day that our youngest boy Earl, married his high school love and it's a new t-shirt saying "I'm a grandpa" and being right there as our time got small, And holdin her hand when the good Lord called her up Yeah man, That's the good stuff BRIDGE He said, When you get home she'll start to cry, When she says, Im sorry, say So am I Then look into those eyes so deep in love and drink it up 'Cause thats the good stuff That's the good stuff |

She was aware of her insecurities as she took the stage
She was convinced if she got up there that She'd be discovered someday. So she belted it She hit the high notes fearlessly Oh she melted them As she brought them to their feet. Chorus: She was a big star At Banana Joe's bar Where she sang karaoke every night She said if you work hard to get where you are It feels good in the hot spot light She was a big star. She made the local cable shows Where the camera fell in love with her face After a couple of weekends The groupies were crawling all over the place. She signed autographs Like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt And in the aftermath That small time town was hers. Chorus: She was a big star At Banana Joe's bar Where she sang karaoke every night She said if you work hard to get where you are It feels good in the hot spot light She was a big star. She doesn't care anymore That her high school girlfriends cut her down The only thought she entertains is where they are And where she is now. Her old neighbors swear they're certain she slept her way to the top She knows you don't get where your going Less you got somethin they ain't got. So she sings tonight To 20,000 plus And the young girls scream out loud Man that could be us. She's a big star As she eats caviar Just before she performs every night She says if you work hard To get where you are It feels good in the hot spot light She's a big star. She's a big star... |

Friday night, butterflies - Like clock work, they'd arive
A little chill in an October sky - Nervous til' the kickoff came Four quarters, win or lose - Spent Saturdays black and blue But it was what I loved to do and it was more than just a game It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again Practice dancin' in my garage - Two left feet and a white corsage Daddy let me borrow the Dodge - Said "Don't bring her home on empty." I swung by and picked up Cindy Lou - Took her to the prom for a dance or two Then we drove down to the water, blue - And that's where she kissed me It was my life and it was fun - Another season of my life, it's done Another race I'm glad I got to run - Another chapter of my life, it's over No, I'm never gonna feel like that again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind Never be as young as I was then - No, I'm never gonna feel like that again I got a call one July day - Cindy Lou was in that way I had a big decision to make, and I couldn't take it lightly At first I thought of leavin town - But I couldn't let our families down Now I'm out here throwin this ball around with a boy that looks just like me Well, it's my life and it's sure fun - Another season of my life's begun Another race I'm glad I get to run - Another chapter of my life, I'm writing No, I'm never gonna feel like this again - Time's rushin' by me like the wind Gotta grab each moment that I can - Cuz' I'm never gonna feel like this again No, I'm never gonna feel like this again No, I'm never gonna feel like this again |

Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on Talkin' to himself about Vietnam 'Bout the tour he did and the deal he got He said, This world ain't the same if you ask me.

The house was cold Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin' Went out and hopped in my old Ford Hit the engine but she ain't a turnin Given each other some hard lessons lately But we ain't learnin Same sad story thats a fact One step up and two steps back Bird on a wire outside my motel room but he aint singin Girl in white outside a church in June but the church bells they aint ringin' Sittin' here in this bar tonight and all I'm thinkin is Im the same old story same old act One step up and two steps back It's the same thing night all night Who's wrong and baby who's right Another fight and I slam the door on Another battle in our dirty little war When I look at myself I dont see the man I wanted to be Somewhere along the line I slipped off track movin one step up and two steps back Theres a girl across the bar I get the message shes sendin Mmm she aint lookin too married Me well honey im pretending Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms the music was never endin' we danced as the evening sky faded to black movin one step up and two steps up (one step up and two steps back) one step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) one step up and two steps back ohhh..baby we're movin One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back mmm..one step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) (one step up and two steps back) |

(Kenny) You know that restaurant on highway one With the key lime pie, that song, the sand and the sun Where we ran in our barefeet Built a castle on the beach Just the wind, the rocks, the waves and you and me. Chorus: (Both) I can't go there 'Cause thats just too much us I can't go there I still feel your touch Theres places in my heart and head That feel as empty as our bed So most nights I dont even walk upstairs 'Cause I can't go there. (Tim) Remember San Francisco on that cable car Our reflection in the window of that store How we danced the night away With the lights out on the bay Then wound up in a blanket on the floor. Chorus: (Both) I can't go there 'Cause 'Friscos too much, us I can't go there I still feel your touch Now theres places in my heart and head That still feel as empty as our bed So most nights I dont even walk upstairs 'Cause I can't go there. If it was only Florida or California Maybe I could let myself move on But its everywhere we've been And everywhere I turn I can't love again Because I've learned. That I can't go there It's somethin' I can't do I can't go there 'Cause I'll run into you I can't go there. (Tim) When the sun shines, when it rains Christmas parties, football games (Kenny) I can't go there (Tim) Winter, summer, fall or spring I see you in everything I can't go there. It's too much us I can't go there... |

Ain't nothing out here but me, the road and the radio
Looking for an exit, and a song that I might know Counting down the memories, and adding up the miles Searching for a feeling, I ain't felt in a while Clarity and inspiration Happiness is a destination that's hard to find It may take some time But in my mind there's something more And I'll open up a brand new door And find the strength to close the ones I left behind And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know The road and the radio Spent the night in Carolina, got up early out of bed Bought a Red Bull and a road map, and a old Stones cassette Setting my sights south bound, no reason or rhyme Threw up a prayer just lookin', just lookin' for a sign And some clarity and inspiration Happiness is a destination that's hard to find It may take some time But in my mind there's something more And I'll open up a brand new door And find the strength to close the ones I left behind And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know The road and the radio In my mind there's something more And I'll open up a brand new door And find the strength to close the ones I left behind And I'll get there leanin' on some friends I know The road and the radio The road and the radio The road and the radio Mmmm-mmm-mmm The road and the radio The road and the radio Mmmm-mmm-mmm |

Starin' out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder 'Bout life and love and lack of And this emptiness in my heart Too old to be wild and free still Too young to be over the hill Should I try to grow up But who knows where to start So I just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to, waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Sun comes up and sun sinks down And I seen 'em both in this tourist town Up for days in a rage Just tryin' to search my soul From the answers and the reasons why I'm at these crossroads in my life And I really don't know Which way to go So I just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to, waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Maybe I'll settle down, get married Or stay single and stay free Which road, I travel is Still a mystery to me So I'll just sit right here, have another beer in Mexico Do my best to, waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Down in Mexico |

People always tell me their life story
Love they've lost, their taste of glory He sat next to me at the counter in the diner Said I used to be Wall Street but this is much finer Oh yeah He had a leather look on a steel horse Harley And a dark-eyed girlfriend he called Charlie He looked a little lost walkin' out the door But I think I knew what he was lookin' for Freedom, sweet freedom I gassed 'er up, climbed back in my cab To my wife I'm a husband, to my kids I'm a dad To the credit card companies I'm just another sucker To the IRS, a long-haul trucker Mmmm yeah Some say that freedom's the power to do what one pleases You can live like the devil or hold on to Jesus I found the one thing I was born to do And girl that's why I'm runnin' back to you Freedom, sweet freedom He climbed up in my truck with his green duffel bag I knew he was a soldier 'cause I saw his dog tags We talked about it, we cried about it Then a steel horse Harley came roarin' on past I knew it was Charlie hangin' on real fast We talked about it, we laughed about it Through the joy and pain that living brings Don't we all want the same thing Freedom, sweet freedom It's what the junkie needs that the needle can't give The oppressed and forgotten are praying for it It's what the brave and courageous are fightin' for An open sail on a distant shore Freedom |

South of the border, American dollars
Take you a long long way Beach side bungalows, sand between your toes Nobody knows your name There's a worm at the bottom of a bottle That's well within my reach And the heart that you broke, will soon be a joke As soon as he and I meet Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Madam Tequila's, a fine senorita All my compadres concur She won't lie, she won't leave, in your hour of need So we're raising our glasses to her They say Vamos a echar un trago It means drink it all down 'til you see The bottom of the glass and it's kickin' your ass Boys, the next round's on me Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Forgettin's cheap in Mexico She'll be there waiting And she won't say no Tequila loves me even if you don't Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh |

Same ol' bedroom floor
Same ol' empty sheets I hate this haunted bed So down here's where I sleep Tryin' to find a place To hide what you have left Some things never change My heart hasn't yet Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Can't somebody take me home The hope that we had left Wrapped around your ring That river just rolled on by When I watched it sink Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Can't somebody take me Out of this bar Out of this heartache Out of this town That just keeps breakin' down Keeps breakin' down Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Well I don't wanna go out tonight Yeah but I can't be alone Standing underneath this broke streetlight Can't somebody take me home Can't somebody take me home Won't you take me home |

He'll be sweatin' a whole life long just to get this right
It's a work hard, hit hard struggle, it's a sacrifice It's time to blow it up, time to lock and load Time to take the field, time to start the show This is our moment, this is our time And we ain't holding back, we're laying it all on the line This is our destiny, it's our night to shine This is our moment, this is our time We been playing guitars and bangin' drums since we were boys Tryin' to impress pretty girls with a lot of noise It's time to turn it up, time to rock and roll Time to take the stage, time to start the show This is our moment, this is our time And we ain't holding back, we're laying it all on the line This is our destiny, it's our night to shine This is our moment, this is our time |
