She walks into Smokey's
one hip at a time Like a broken field runner slippin' through the lines He likes the way she looks so he calls a little wife says don't wait up for me, I'll be workin late tonight. Wife hangs up the phone bursts into tears calls her sister up and cries get over here. Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile. Leaves the motor runnin' he'll only be a minute, his car drives away with teenagers in it. Driver tells his buddies, got one life to live they scream into the night, lets get it over with. Chorus: Cause and effect, chain of events, all of the chaos makes perfect sense, when we're spinnin' round, things come undone. Welcome to the earth, third rock from the sun. The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve Heads for a semi-truck, jumps the curb Truck hits a bigboy in the Shoney's parking lot Flies through the air, takes out the bank clock Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks lines go down, town goes dark. Waitress calls the cops says she saw it all swears a giant alien has landed at the mall Cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the street, hate to wake you up but we cant find the chief, mayor says use your head, if he ain't in his car he's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's bar Chorus X2 Welcome to Earth third rock from the sun.

Yesteday I missed my exit
On my way to Sears A song was on the radio I hadn't heard in years For a minute there the interstate Was 2nd Avenue And I was singing "Everlasting Love" And driving home to you Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams that were forsaken Just every now and then I think what would have been Somewhere down that road not taken By now we'd have our own business And a house just out of town In a neighborhood that smelled like dinner When the sun went down Two kids playing in their rooms With toys we never had A little girl who looks like you And a boy, just like his dad Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams That were forsaken Just every now and then I think about what would have been Somewhere down that road not taken What if I had asked you What if you'd said "yes" There's no way I'll ever know Still I can't help but guess Somewhere down that road not taken Will forever live those dreams That were forsaken Just every now and then I miss a place I've never been Somewhere down that road not taken Yesterday I missed my exit On my way to Sears |

Well, I got my first truck when I was three
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to understand There's something women like about a pickup man When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks My first car was a pickup truck I was cruising the town and the first girl I seen Was Bobbie Jo Gentry, the homecoming queen She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab And said, "I never knew you were a pickup man" You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man Most Friday nights I can be found In the bed of my truck on an old chaise lounge Backed into my spot at the drive-in show You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand 'Cause there's something women like about a pickup man You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man A bucket of rust or a brand new machine Once around the block and you'll know what I mean You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams There's just something women like about a pickup man Yeah, there's something women like about a pickup man |

There's a place I can go
Where I know I'll always be welcome Night after night When your memory comes around, I just take a ride down the road And look for the light When I see that old sign flashin' That's when I know I'm on my way I'm goin' out to the wild blue yonder Break through this cloud I'm under Out to the wild blue yonder And let my mind wander away Maybe I can find a friend there, Someone who's been where I am And knows what to do With a heart that won't stop breakin' And a mind that won't stop takin' me back To the image of you Tonight I know my destination A place where no one knows you name I'm goin' out to the wild blue yonder Break through this cloud I'm under Out to the wild blue yonder And let my mind wander away You know that jukebox sounds like thunder When that whiskey pours like rain I'm goin' out to the wild blue yonder Break through this cloud I'm under Out to the wild blue yonder And let my mind wander away |

I'm not a wealthy man, don't pay for my suntan
I work out in the heat and the cold Sometimes I'd like to be the big, bad wolf 'Stead of just another sheep in the fold I hear the rich man holler 'bout the shrinking dollar And cry about a luxury tax They won't let him write off his lil' eighty-foot yacht I'd like to have a problem like that Yeah, I'd like to have a problem like that Should I buy the Porsche or the stretch Cadillac Do I wanna drive fast or just ride around in the back I'd like to have a problem like that I saw a celebrity talkin' on the T.V. He looked like a tall Tom Cruise He's seeing Sheila and Bambi, Linda and Candy They're burning both ends of his fuse He says he's suffocating, he needs a vacation From all the kissing and hugging, the sweet talk and loving I'd like to have a problem like that Oh, I'd like to have a problem like that Be a one-man woman juggling act How many can you keep in the air before you lose track I'd like to have a problem like that I'd like to be too rich, I'd to be too thin I'd like to be too young, I'd like to be too in Should I kiss and tell, write a book on my life And how much can I get for the movie rights Oh, I'd like to have a problem like that Be a tabloid star at the checkout rack Should I drag 'em through court Or tell 'em to kiss my fax I'd like to have a problem like that Give me those problems I think that I could solve 'em I'd like to have a problem like that |

She was sittin there watchin TV with a drywall hanger named Shorty She pressed her nose to the screen door and said, "They smell like WD40" He said, "Now don't you be that way, you know how much I love you I can't hardly sleep at night and when I do I dream of you. And by the way Shorty I thank you You could've had them put me in jail, Son I'm just glad I run out of air hose When I come at you with that nail gun." Oh Junior's in love, ain't that a good one? He'll track her down and then if she should run He'll bring her home like a deer on the hood, Son Junior's in love Wanda walked down the front steps and said, "I hate to break up the party, But I've got to get to work by 5, would you run me over there, Shorty?" That's when Junior turned bright red and said, "I'm taking her to the diner!" and he threw Shorty in the truck bed with a busted nose and a shiner Oh Junior's in love, ain't that a hot one? There's lots of lovers and Junior he's not one Don't know a kiss from a hug from a shotgun Junior's in love Oh you know there's an old puddle down by the diner and it came out of his transmission That's where he parks every night and stares through the window In a lovesick and sorry condition Oh Junior's in love, ain't that a good one?

I could show you where I stood today
Had my doubts, packed my clothes, I was on my way Right here on this spot was as far as I got I couldn't make it from here on out Lord, it felt like my shoes were nailed to the floor Had to hold to that old chair when I opened the door I got a breathtaking view of my life without you And I couldn't make it from here on out From here on out, I'm gonna know What I have and just how close I was to leaving what I'll need most From here on out Your sweet love turned me around Now every precious moment counts Oh, how I'm gonna love you From here on out One by one I retraced Every step I'd made And carefully put everything back in its place From here on out, I'm gonna know What I have and just how close I was to leaving what I'll need most From here on out Your sweet love turned me around Now every precious moment counts Oh, how I'm gonna love you From here on out |

Man that smells good!
I can't get rich; I can't make a living, But I sure do something for the neighborhood women. I wake up every morning with em knocking at my door; You can't keep 'em waiting when they're begging for more. "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy Well, you can sop it with a biscuit, you can eat it from a pan, You can lick it off your fingers when it's running down your hand. If I could get a backer I could cause a big commotion. I could put it on the market, call it "Biscuit Lotion." "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, Mmm, good brown gravy Well, Granny told my momma 'bout the power that it had; Good Brown Gravy is the way she got my dad. They tried to get me in the Army, tried to get me in the Navy, Just to get the secret of my good brown gravy. "Back! Back!" I hollered to my hound, "You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around!" I used to think they were after me But they're just after my recipe, for Good brown gravy, good brown gravy, I said Good brown gravy, good brown gravy Good brown gravy, good brown gravy I mean good brown gravy! |

I'm used to havin' my breakfast in bed
Never have to lift a finger to butter my bread I keep my baby satisfied if you know what I mean 'Cause she told me I'm walkin' talkin' love machine Lord, I got the self assurance of a king on a throne Cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home The cows came home The cows came home I heard somethin' mooin' Turned around and she was gone Lord have mercy, the cows came home The whole herd showed up when they heard she'd gone But I guess it's better than bein' alone Well the slammin' of the door is like a pie in the face But I got enough milk for the human race I didn't have to clue that there was anything wrong 'Cause she told me that she'd love me 'til the cows came home The cows came home The cows came home I heard somethin' mooin' Turned around and she was gone Lord have mercy, the cows came home I didn't see the writing on the wall Missed the invitation to the bovine ball I didn't hear no cowbells ringin' Gonna have to face the music that the fat lady's singin' The cows came home The cows came home I heard somethin' mooin' Turned around and she was gone Lord have mercy, the cows came home |
