I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you I ain't ate a bite Since the night That you said we're through I walked to that jukebox to play A few sad country songs I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones I got to work this morning Early this afternoon Yeah my boss man nudged me Said son I need to talk to you You used to make me money But lately I been taking a loss Well he smelled my breath Gave me what was left Of the day off I ain't nothin' but beer and bones Honey since I lost you I ain't ate a bite Since the night That you said we're through I walked to that jukebox to play A few sad country songs I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones Well I wish I could go home And rest my weary head But I know I'll just stay here And have another beer instead That little waitress asked me Honey could you use some help I said I thank you miss I'll have to get through this By my dang self I ain't nothin' but beer and bones Honey since I lost you I ain't ate a bite Since the night That you said we're through I walked to that jukebox to play A few sad country songs I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones I heard someone say Hey that old boy Ain't nothin' but beer and bones |

When I was fourteen I was fallin' fast
For a blue-eyed girl in my homeroom class. Tryin to find the courage to ask her out Was like tryin' to get oil from a water spout. What she would've said, I can't say. I never did ask then she moved away. I learned something from my blue-eyed girl: sink or swim, you gotta give it a whirl. Life's a dance, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Don't worry 'bout what you don't know, life's a dance, you learn as you go. The longer I live the more I believe You do have to give if you wanna receive. There's a time to listen, a time to talk. And you might have to crawl even after you walk. Had sure things blow up in my face, Seen the longshot win the race. Been knocked down by the slammin' door. Picked myself up and came back for more. Life's a dance, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Don't worry 'bout what you don't know, life's a dance, you learn as you go. Life's a dance, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Don't worry 'bout what you don't know, life's a dance, you learn as you go. Life's a dance, you learn as you go. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Don't worry 'bout what you don't know, life's a dance, you learn as you go. Life's a dance Life's a dance Life's a dance Take a chance on love Life's a dance you learn as you go |

I don't recall the icebox ever humming quite so loud
That clock upon the wall, sounding like a crowd My that dog is restless He don't ever settle down Now ain't it strange what occupies your mind When your baby ain't around When your baby ain't around I swear the moon and stars won't shine And nights get longer all the time I'm so lonesome missing you If you wanna know the truth I never thought I'd ever be this down That's all my body's got a mind to do Now that my baby ain't around I don't recall this bedroom ever being quite so large Or this big old mattress ever sleeping quite so hard My the days come early When your sleep is less than sound Dreams don't seem to matter much at all When your baby ain't around When your baby ain't around I swear the moon and stars won't shine And nights get longer all the time I'm so lonesome missing you If you wanna know the truth I never thought I'd ever be this down That's all my body's got a mind to do Now that my baby ain't around When your baby ain't around I swear the moon and stars won't shine And nights get longer all the time I'm so lonesome missing you If you wanna know the truth I never thought I'd ever be this down That's all my body's got a mind to do Now that my baby ain't around Well, that's all my body's got a mind to do Now that my baby ain't around Now that my baby ain't around Now that my baby ain't around Now that my baby ain't around My baby baby ain't around Now that my baby ain't around |

Packed an old cane pole
Crossed the shoulder through the woods To the fishing hole I tried to keep up the best I could He answered with love All the questions of his little man Daddy taught me about life In words I could understand You gotta roll up your sleeves Put your back into your work son Always believe in the good Lord's way You gotta hold your mouth right When your going for the big one Once you get a line on love Don't let it get away Driving my old car That we worked on after school He's a football star And his daddy's a proud old fool It's a brand new world Full of girls and teenage dreams When he asks for my advice The answer's still the same You gotta roll up your sleeves Put your back into your work son Always believe in the good Lord's way You gotta hold your mouth right When your going for the big one Once you get a line on love Don't let it get away Once you get a line on love Don't let it get away |

I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss. The way that your fingers run through my hair, And how your scent lingers even when you're not there. And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh, And how you enjoy your two hour bath. And how you convinced me to dance in the rain With everyone watching like we were insane. But I love the way you love me. Strong and wild, slow and easy. Heart and soul, so completely. I love the way you love me. I like to imitate ol' Jerry Lee an' watch you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off-key. And I like the innocent way that you cry At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times But I love the way you love me. Strong and wild, slow and easy. Heart and soul, so completely. I love the way you love me. And I could list a million things I love to like about you, but they all come down to one reason I could never live without you. But I love the way you love me. Strong and wild, slow and easy. Heart and soul, so completely. I love the way you love me. |

I been down on my luck
I been down on my knees Well I been downtown And I been down on the farm I can't be satisfied But I'm gonna have to find A way to kick back and Take off the edge Now there's a little gal I know Just south of Tupelo Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tan She rubs my back just right Till way up in the night She knows how to Take off the edge I've been laid up with the flu Laid off a time or two I've been uptight And I've been up a creek I'm gonna take my bamboo pole And head out to the fishing hole Don't you know it helps to Take off the edge Now there's a little gal I know Just south of Tupelo Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tan She rubs my back just right Till way up in the night She knows how to Take off the edge Now it's morning once again Oh, Lord I just punched in And I can't hardly wait till quitting time Gonna get that big brown jug All I need is a little slug Just another way to Takin' off the edge Now there's a little gal I know Just south of Tupelo Her hair is dark and her legs are long and tan She rubs my back just right Till way up in the night Well she knows how to Take off the edge Oh she sure knows how to Take off the edge |

Let me tell you 'bout a lady that I know
Who stood tall and proud beside me Down many a dead end road Never asking more than I could give And never once complaining About the way we had to live Well she never showed a sign of losing hope Though a million dreams and promises Have all gone up in smoke She hides her disappointment out of love And if I laid the whole world at her feet It wouldn't be enough She's the rock I lean on through it all Everytime I stumble Everytime I fall And though she's never shown it I've known it from the start Everytime I fall it breaks her heart Everytime I fall It breaks her heart Now let me tell you about the million silent tears I've found hidden on her pillow In the mornings through the years Somehow I'm still a hero in her eyes But to tell the truth I can't give you one good reason why She's the rock I lean on through it all Everytime I stumble Everytime I fall And though she's never shown it I've known it from the start Everytime I fall it breaks her heart Everytime I fall It breaks her heart |

Way down in Texas
Those cowgirls get restless As they wait for that cowboy Who will love them for life And though they are certain They'll meet him tomorrow They're alone with their dreams for tonight So dream on Texas ladies About cowboys and babies Hold out for that Lonestar Who will love you for life Dream on Texas ladies About sunshine and daisies Follow your heart Where it leads you tonight From Houston to Dallas Those cowgirls sing ballads About how love everlasting Is love at its best And they dream of that day When they both ride away As the sun slowly sets in the west So dream on Texas ladies About cowboys and babies Hold out for that Lonestar Who will love you for life Dream on Texas ladies About sunshine and daisies Follow your heart Where it leads you tonight Dream on Texas ladies About cowboys and babies Hold out for that Lonestar Who will love you for life Dream on Texas ladies About sunshine and daisies Follow your heart Where it leads you tonight Dream on Texas ladies About cowboys and babies Hold out for that Lonestar Who will love you for life Dream on Texas ladies About sunshine and daisies Follow your heart Where it leads you tonight |

I'm not one to take chances
I've always played it safe But girl I've been out on a limb Since I saw your smiling face I feel like I'm walking a tightrope When I'm out walking with you It's a dangerous liason I've got my heart into 'Cause we're not a sure thing Too soon to tell if we're the real thing But this time it's worth taking a chance On you and me But if doesn't work out Should you decide to walk out Well that's all right with me 'Cause girl I know you'd be A great memory Some folks would die for this moment But I've lived for this moment in time The love you bring may be a fleeting thing But oh right now it's mine If I should wind up lonely Well I won't mind being alone 'Cause if it works out that you leave me Least I'll have you to look back on 'Cause we're not a sure thing Too soon to tell if we're the real thing But this time it's worth taking a chance On you and me But if doesn't work out Should you decide to walk out Well that's all right with me 'Cause girl I know you'd be A great memory Yeah that's all right with me 'Cause girl I know you'd be A great memory |

Remember when pocket change was all we had
And all those calls from the corner phonebooth Collect to Mom and Dad And that old worn out couch we called our bed When our cuisine was pork and beans Baloney and day old bread Remember that damn old car that kept breaking down And all the times it left me stranded Thumbing all over town And that old weekly paycheck Just never stretched enough Back in the times of nickels and dimes and love Together we sure made some dreams come true Sometimes it wasn't easy But somehow we made it through And when I get to thinking times are tough I remember the times Of nickels and dimes and love Oh those good old times Of nickels and dimes and love Remember digging through your old purses in hopes we'd get Enough change for an RC cola or a pack of cigarettes Now we've got almost everything That we were dreaming of Back in the times Of nickels and dimes and love Together we sure made some dreams come true Sometimes it wasn't easy But somehow we made it through And when I get to thinking times are tough I remember the times Of nickels and dimes and love Oh those good old times Of nickels and dimes and love Do you remember those times Of nickels and dimes and love |
