(Chorus) Lord don't you walk with a little Sawin' on a fiddle and the crying of a steel guitar Coming from the heart and soul Born and bred in the ole Lone Star Get them honky tonkin' blues Let them be your saving grace If you want to hear some country Then you've come to the right place You miss Waylon, if it don't make you smile Like Willie and George Jones You better stick around a while You like Merle, Buck and Johnny We might just get along But if you don't, go slap your mommy Cause your momma raised you wrong Chorus I like gravy on my biscuit, I like my chicken fried I drink my coffee black, I sure like my Charlie Pride Well I still solute ole Glory and I give glory to the lord I tip my hat to ole E.T. and his Texas Troubadours Chorus |

Pinch me I must be dreaming waking up with you and feeling The tender touch of your good morning kiss No where else on earth is better than being next to you Next to heaven, it doesn't get any better than this (Chorus) Next to heaven lies my fate, my best friend and my sole mate God knows this kind of love only comes from up above You're the answer to my prayers, nothing else compare I'm next to heaven when I am next to you You look just like an angel tangled in white satin sheets Lying there with your hair all in a mess I swear you look your best all dressed up next to nothing Next to heaven, it doesn't get any better than this Chorus (x3) |

She said she was not the one for me
There was nothing I could do to change her mind She said she was sorry but some things aren't meant to be She was unaware that she was robbing her heart blind (Chorus) What she don't know is I'll always love her forever What she don't know is that I've never done her wrong Underestimation will break her heart for sure What she can't see, what she don't know Won't hurt her but it's killing me Deep in the shadows of the smokey neon lights I play myself in a lonely game of pool I chalk it up as he sits down by her side I take another shot, swallow my pride and I play a fool Chorus Watching her dance with him Around that empty hardwood floor Is like putting sawdust in the wound And I cry a little more Chorus |

Like a killer at large
You strolled down Bourbon Street Lookin' for an easy mark With every man you meet And I never saw the devil Behind your rain blue eyes Spellbound by your long legs and your little white lies Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you You're no Adalida, no pretty Cajun queen Just a bad girl from Biloxi, more addicting than morphine And when your love wears off There's nothin' left but pain And enough teardrops fall to flood Lake Ponchatrain Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you I can see you smilin' in some Creole cafe Slippin' your love potion in someone's ettouffe Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you |

With the world in the palm of his hands
Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand He don't know his hourglass is losing time Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will If only she had a dime every time he's done her wrong Or for every one wondering why she's still holding on She could buy that rodeo and shut it down Along with every honky tonkin' bar in town Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will It may be his fault but she's still one to blame For taking him back and playing his foolish games Chorus: Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way Before they understand the way they feel Some lovers are slower than others Some will come around and some never will |

Let's go honky tonkin' Have a honky tonkin' good time with us Ahh let's go honky tonkin' Let's go honky tonkin' Honky tonkin' round Texas Well I'll put some diesel in the tank Give that old Detroit a crank We'll sit back and let that silver eagle fly Well up and down that Lonestar State Let's have a honky tonkin' tail gate And don't forget to kiss your baby good bye (Chorus) Stick out a thumb and bum a ride Hitch-hike across the country side Come see why they call this place God's country Well criss-cross in the Colorado From Amarillo to Zapata Every town along the way from A to Z (Chorus) Well my mom called me up And she gave me my last warning Said there'll be hell to pay If I miss church this Sunday morning |

We both work hard for money already spent
Blaming each other for where it all went Never thinking of love only paying the loans Griping bout' bills and keeping up with the Jones Just once let's forget about making ends meet Or whose got the nicest yard on the street Darlin' let loose, let your hair down We're staying at home for a night on the town [Chorus] So turn the music up, and dim the lights down Let those old records keep spinning around Replace all our worries with some romance Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance When you're in my arms it makes me feel Like I own a mansion on top of the hil But it's not how big's the house it's how happy's the home How poor is a rich man who lives all alone [Chorus: x2] |

Well my truck's wound up and it's ready to roll
I got a good buddy workin' for the Highway Patrol So if I get a ticket or two, It's gonna be alright But the sheriff and his boys they're in Estilline Unless they're out to lunch at the Dairy Queen They'll be itchin' to turn on those red, white, and blue Lights Well just like my daddy I was born a drifter I got a rebel heart and eight - ball shifter Horns on the hood and forty channel CB Well some things you never leave home without Like your Bible, log book, and your drivin' route And your Best Of Dale Watson on CD [Chorus:] Cause I'm a diesel drivin' daddy Don't you get in my lane Puttin' the pedal to the medal Bringin' eighteen wheels of pain I've been in love Broke some hearts Settled down long enough to replace the parts Kicked a little Asphalt along the way There's a lonely life livin' on the road When the only friend you've got is the radio And even he fades in and out every now and then But maybe someday you'll find the right one That'll shift the gears and let ya ride shotgun Knows how to get that big ole rig to spin [Chorus] I'm a panhandlin' manhandlin' Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy I ain't got no blood in my veins I just got them four lanes Of hard Amarillo highway [Chorus] Up and down that honky tonkin' highway |

I still think about us In the rush that we felt With the rag top down and the radio blasting You were riding shot gun In nothing but a bikini and a seat belt Looking better than the law should have been allowing (chorus) We hit the corners going 90 Lovin' blindly fallin' Head over heels over you Every feeling that we felt Was a feeling that felt brand new And you looked just like an angel With that cross on your necklace You were young, i was wild, we were reckless We'd drive on down to the river Burnin' up those hot summer nights Laughin' at the cowboys getting crazy Pickin' fights It wasn't funny When that deputy, caught you and me Steaming up those windows And how your daddy never found out about it Honey, heaven only knows Chorus I looked into your eyes and I Promised you forever I believed it with all my heart I just didn't know any better Gettin' over you took years Aww despite those tears I cried I'd do it all over again All for the thrill of the ride Chorus Young, wild, and reckless |

I got a letter from your lawyer you got one from mine. They both say it's gonna be fine, once we sign that dotted line. Well I guess we'll get our freedom, and a so called fresh new start, when you take half of everything you'll be takin' half my heart. Our love got lost somewhere in lifes compligations, told between to lies and their legal inigation. Off the record something I need to say to you, this aint easy but it's what my heart has to do. Cause I cant let you go until i let you know, off the record im stilll in love with you. I took down our wedding picture from above the fireplace, and I stood there awile staring at your pretty face. How we lost our love, diffrences and cares are off. But if push comes to shove thank God no children are involved. I can still see you thrown your rose boqute, never thought i'd see the day we throw it all away. Off the record something I need to say to you, this aint easy but its what my heart has to do. Cause I cant let you go until I let you know off the record im still in love with you. I've done all I can do all I can do is pray, and ask the Good Lord to let me hear you say, Off the record something I need to say to you this aint easy, but it's what my heart has to do Cause I cant let you go until I let you know off the record im still in love with you. Girl off the record im still in love with you. |

(Duet w/ Willie Nelson) He's wrinkled and gray but he's still got the fire And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire He'll pack 'em in just like he always did Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid He got his first guitar when he was fifteen Thirstin' for knowledge, all hungry and green Strummin' that six string just like Lefty did Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid (Chorus) Well the Honky Tonk Kid loves a honky tonk crowd He picks them up when this world gets them down All the smoke and the neon keep his pain here Nobody knows The Honky Tonk Kid Ten million fans and a hand full of friends He'll go home alone when each night ends He'll think about her and he'll twist off the lid Cause nobody loves The Honky Tonk Kid Chorus (x2) It won't be long the lord will take him away He'd sung his last song, they'll place a reef on his grave But he'll draw a crowd just like he always did One last goodbye for The Honky Tonk Kid |

Well I was thumbing through the channels
And I saw a sight to see A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king Ah - ha From the Houston rodeo to any old dancehall Of cowgirls and cowboys know how to have a ball And every night they'll tip a toast to the Lone Star state Where the women are so fine and the music is so great Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Aw yeah... All together now.... It's a Texas thing, Y'all So if you don't understand just drop what you're doing Drive here as quick as you can I'd even stop in Oklahoma if it was up to me Cause when it comes to country, there ain't none like I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it That hip-hoppin' rappin' boy band crap is for the squirrels in San Francisco And Nashville is making music that sounds like a dadgum disco Don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Yes, I said don't call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it That's right... |
