There's a for-sale sign on a big ol rusty tractor
You can't miss it it's the first thing that you see Just up the road a pale blue water tower With I love ginny painted in bright green Hey that's my uncle bill there by the courthouse He'll be lowering the flag when the sun goes down And this is my town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah [Chorus] Hey where I was born Where I was raised Where I keep all my yesterdays Where I ran off cause I got mad And I came to blows with my old man Where I came back to settle down This is where they'll put me in the ground This is my town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah This is my town There ain't much going on here since they closed the mill The whistle still blows everyday at noon A bunch of us still go down to the diner Wonder if that interstates still comin' through Come the Sunday morning service at the church of christ There ain't an empty seat to be found And this is my town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah [Chorus] Well I bought and painted up that rusty tractor You can't miss it its sitting right there in our yard The county came and took that water tower And that's Ginny with a baby in the car We're off to Sunday service at the church of Christ And if we want a seat we better leave right now And maybe later me and ol t-roy will show you around Our town Nah na nah nah nah Yea this is my town Nah na nah nah nah [Chorus] |

How many Mrs. Rights have I had go wrong
Every one that's come along And how many finish lines Have I had in sight and never crossed Every one I ever saw When it looks like I might win I go and break my heart again Things aren't good unless they're bad And I ain't happy 'til I'm sad When I see the good life closing in I go and break my heart Break my heart again Why do I think I can When I know I won't I always end up alone Why would a lonely man Hold love in his hands and let it go Well I don't know All I know is in the end I go and break my heart again Things aren't good unless they're bad And I ain't happy 'til I'm sad When I see the good life closing in I go and break my heart Break my heart again Things aren't good unless they're bad And I ain't happy 'til I'm sad When I see the good life closing in I go and break my heart Break my heart again And I break my heart again And I break my heart again And I break my heart again |

Ninety-four degrees as far as the eye can see
Corn is blowing in the wind Seven days a week out here in this heat A gentle rain my only friend Sometimes when the sun goes down The moon is full the stars come out I look out across this land I'm proud of what I do But I bet I'm a lot like you I want to be more than who I am One of these days I'm gonna run I'm gonna leave these fields behind To find what's over the horizon One of these days I'm gonna go When you look at me you're not gonna see A scarecrow It's a simple life I lead Not much out here to bother me Just an occasional stubborn crow I should be satisfied or so it seems I got lots of time to dream About all I'm gonna do when I turn down this road One of these days I'm gonna run I'm gonna leave these fields behind to find what's over the horizon One of these days I'm gonna go When you look at me you're not gonna see A scarecrow One of these days I'm gonna run I'm gonna leave these fields behind to find what's over the horizon One of these days I'm gonna go And when you look at me you're not gonna see A scarecrow Just a scarecrow Just a scarecrow |

I'm tired of spinning my wheels
I need to find a place where my heart can go to heal I need to get there pretty quick Hey mister, what you got out on that lot you can sell me in a pinch Maybe one of them souped up muscle cars The kind that makes you think you're stronger than you are Color don't matter, no I don't need leather seats All that really concerns me is: [Chorus:] Speed, an' how fast will it go Can it get me over her quickly Zero to sixty, can it outrun her memory Yeah, what I really need Is an open road An' a whole lot of speed I'd like to trade in this old truck 'Cause it makes me think of her and that just slows me up See, it's the first place we made love, where we used to sit and talk On the tailgate all night long, but now she's gone An' I need to move on So give me: [Chorus] Throw me them keys so I can put some miles between us Tear off that rear view mirror, there's nothing left to see here, yeah Let me lean on that gas, oh she catches up fast So give me: [Chorus] That's what I need I'm tired of spinning my wheels I'm tired of spinning my wheels |

He works way too much for way too little
He drinks way too early till way too late He hasn't had a raise since new years day In eighty-eight gets trampled on by everyone Except when he comes in here And he's the product of the Haggard generation He's got a redneck side when you get him agitated He got the gold toothed look from a stiff right hook He's proud he took for his right wing stand on Vietnam Says he lost his brother there He yells out Johnny Cash And the band starts to play A ring of fire as he walks up And stands there by the stage And he say [Chorus] Hell yeah! Turn it up! Right on! Hell yeah! Sounds good! Sing that song! Guitar man playing all night long Take me back to where the music hit me Life was good and love was easy She's got an MBA and a plush corner office She's got a don't mess with me attitude She'll close a deal she don't reveal that she can feel The loneliness the emptiness Except when she comes in here She's the product of the Me generation She's got a rock and roll side when you get her agitated She got the tattoo there on her derri??짢re from a spring break dare In Panama where love was all she thought she'd ever need She yells out to the band Know any Bruce Springsteen Then she jumps up on the bar And she, and she starts to scream She say [Chorus] Yeah, yeah Can or can't you get my mind off thinking about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Hey, hell yeah [Chorus: x2] |

One coffee cup, one toothbrush
One set of keys, one car out in the drive One half of the closet empty One half of the bed cold at night One of us just up and disappeared That only leaves one of us 'round here Lonesome Can drive a man insane Lonesome It's the sad part of the game Win some, lose some Lonesome One man and one woman One too many cold and bitter fights One high powered lawyer later One piece of paper they want me to sign The hand she used to hold picks up the pen And all at once reality sets in Lonesome Can drive a man insane Lonesome It's the sad part of the game Win some, lose some Lonesome Lonesome Lonesome Lonesome |

When I was just a little baby
My mama held my hand Tried to hold me steady all she could But I pulled just like a full-grown man Now mama was a real fine woman Only angel I've ever known Guess I must have turned out more like my daddy A chip off the rollin' stone Sometimes I wake up sweatin' Yeah, eyes open wide I feel like a freight train comin' I wish I knew the reason why Why do I feel like running I love the life I'm livin' I've made myself a happy home I've got a woman who's in love with a man But she's worried about my gypsy bone Sometimes I wake up sweatin' Yeah, eyes open wide I feel like a freight train comin' I wish I knew the reason why Why do I feel like running I tell her I ain't never leavin' I only travel with my mind A part of her knows that I'm in it for the long haul But part of her knows I'm lyin' Sometimes I wake up sweatin' Yeah, eyes open wide I feel like a freight train comin' I wish I knew the reason why Why do I feel like running Why do I feel like running Why do I feel like running Why do I feel like running Why do I feel like running Yeah I guess it's just my daddy's blood That's right |

I slept straight through to eight a.m.
That same old lame alarm clock excuse Just ain't gonna work again Well, I light a Marlboro for breakfast On the way out the door That's the third day this month I had too many the night before And judging from the past It won't be the last It's a free fall When your back's against the wall When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out How's a man supposed to stand tall Well the high life ain't my life I can't walk a line And I damn sure ain't gonna crawl Just living in a free fall With a shovel in my hand and a hammer in my head Right about now I can think of a thousand things I'd rather do instead But I'm digging this hole for my dignity I think I've finally come to understand Workin' for the Man ain't workin' for me I can only take so much My only way to go is up From a free fall When your back's against the wall When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out How's a man supposed to stand tall Well the high life ain't my life I can't walk a line And I damn sure ain't gonna crawl Living in a free fall It's a free fall When your back's against the wall When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out How's a man supposed to stand tall Well the high life ain't my life I can't walk a line And I damn sure ain't gonna crawl Just living in a free fall Free fall |

I know it's over I won't hide from that
Once that door closes you won't be coming back I've only one favor left to ask of you If your heart's not hurting too Lie before you leave and tell me we were something Say that leaving me will be your great regret Say it sweet enough that one day It'll feel like it was love that we made Do this thing for me Set my mind at ease Lie before you leave I never doubted you made me believe That deep down inside you really cared for me But if that was just some kind of spell you weaved That's fine As long as you work that magic one more time Lie before you leave and tell me we were something Say that leaving me will be your great regret Say it sweet enough that one day It'll feel like it was love that we made Do this thing for me Set my mind at ease Lie before you leave Lie before you leave and tell me we were something Say that leaving me will be your great regret Say it sweet enough that one day It'll feel like it was love that we made Do this thing for me Set my mind at ease Lie before you leave Lie before you leave |

Ah, let me tell you a little story about my family
Daddy almost made a living With eighty acres and a plow He could've bought that place twice over Working for someone in town Ah, but you should've seen him In his fields at harvest time He'd swear the gates of heaven opened And he was standing first in line You can't be in it for the money Money comes and money goes You can't be in it for the money Oh, you got to satisfy your soul I grabbed the world when I turned eighteen I turned it over and I shook it hard I filled my pockets up with money But it burned a hole right through my heart You can't be in it for the money Money comes and money goes You can't be in it for the money Oh, you got to satisfy your soul You know everybody's got a purpose From mending bones to tending bar You might say that I found mine When I wrap my hands around this guitar And I still wonder if I'm crazy Trying to bring a dream to life But I look forward to tomorrow And I sleep pretty good at night You can't be in it for the money Money comes and money goes You can't be in it for the money Oh, you got to satisfy your soul You can't be in it for the money You can't be in it for the money |
