When I get off of work on Friday after working like a dog all week
I go to meet the boys for a cold one at a little joint up the street They got a jukebox in the corner full of old country tunes Feed it five dollars worth of quarters is the first thing I always do 'Cause I need a little twang A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train To get that foot stomping honkey tonkin' feeling going through my veins I ned a little twang, twant, twang Well, I like a lot of kinds of music I try to keep an open mind Depending on the mood to strike me If I'm gonna stay till closing time So when I wanna lift my spirits to get me feeling worth a dang I know I'm gonna have to heart it 'Cause I gotta have some Hank to hang 'Cause I need a little twang A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train To get that foot stomping honkey tonkin' feeling going through my veins I ned a little twang, twant, twang 'Cause I need a little twang A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train To get that foot stomping honkey tonkin' feeling going through my veins I ned a little twang, twant, twang |

Been down the road to work and back
Been in what I thought was love a few times But every once in a while I stop and ask Where have I been all my life These days broccoli don't taste so bad And neither does swallowing my prde And I'm agreeing more and more with my old man Where have I been all my life Some years are clear and some a little blurry Man how they fly by Mom and dad sure got old in a hurry Where have I been all my life Been learning that forgiveness is as much for myself As it is for the other guy And I read the good book these days and believe it Where have I been all my life Some years are clear and some a little blurry Man how they fly by Mom and dad sure got old in a hurry Where have I been all my life I heard "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong It brought a tear to my eye After all these years I finally get that song |

He saw her after school, sippin on a coke
Acted like a fool, crackin crazy jokes She turned his motor on, man his heart was gone Fire down below, easy as you go Easy as you go, steady as you fly Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye Turn it on a dime, man you never know Take a little time, whoa easy as you go Graduation night, out behind the stands In the fading light, he became a man She discovered love better be enough Cause baby's gonna grow, easy as you go Easy as you go, steady as you fly Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye Turn it on a dime, man you never know Take a little time, whoa easy as you go Judgemental frowns, teacher's lookin down Parents all ashamed, passin out the blame They got a little room, service station view The rents too high, pays to low whoa Easy as you go There aint nothing like a daughter or a son To make a mama old and keep a daddy young Make a body dream, and give a life a theme Take the highs and the lows whoa |

Everyday is a lifetime without you
Hard to get through since you've gone So I do the only thing I know how to, to get by I'm livin' for the night I've drawn all the curtains in this old house To keep the sun out and off of my face Friends stop by to check in 'cause I've checked out I tell 'em I'm fine, I'm just livin' for the night Daylight can't hide the tears I cry The pain that came with your goodbye The memories that keep me out of sight Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight I'm livin' for the night I'm a whole lot easier to talk to When I've had a few, I settle down Whiskey kills the man you've turned me into, and I come alive I'm livin' for the night Daylight can't hide the tears I cry The pain that came with your goodbye The memories that keep me out of sight Every night I venture out into those neon arms that hold me tight I'm livin' for the night, I'm livin' for the night Everyday is a lifetime without you |

Did you ever meet somebody that likes all the same things you do?
Somebody who can make you or break you anytime they want to I met her at a red light, love at first sight, can this be true? She's good for me and she told me I was good for her too Now, I don't want to jump into anything I've been tryin' to use some self restraint But man it's amazin' She's the same kind of crazy as me Wild, wild nights, chasin' each other through the moonlight My, my, my, I finally got somethin' right 'Cause every little off-beat move she makes Suits me to a tee You know what I'm sayin' She's the same kind of crazy as me It's gettin' hard to use a ladder 'cause I keep climbin' down just to kiss her 'Cause she's out of my sight for a minute or two, I start to miss her We stay all tangled up in each other's arms and it's so nice She talks in her sleep but she always gets my name right If there's anything at all that's wrong with her It's somethin' that I can't see Ain't no doubt about it She's the same kind of crazy as me Wild, wild nights, chasin' each other through the moonlight My, my, my, I finally got somethin' right 'Cause every little off-beat move she makes Suits me to a tee You know what I'm sayin' She's the same kind of crazy as me You know what I'm sayin' |

I've always heard people say it
But I guess I never fully understood I thought that they meant, you'd be easy to forget But it's drivin me crazy Out of sight out of mind You opened my eyes, and now I can see What you mean to me, I was so blind Out of sight out of mind You know it hurt when you left me But I thought life would go on without you That was easier said, can't get you outta my head I don't know if I'll make it Out of sight out of mind You opened my eyes, and now I can see What you mean to me, I was so blind Out of sight out of mind I was so blind Out of sight out of Mind |

He rode up on a winter day
Steam risin' off a streak face bay Said you probably know my name If you don't it's Arkansas Dave He talked of fifteen years ago And how he got the bay he rode He said he killed a man in Ohio First man he killed first horse he stole It was a long road for Arkansas Dave He shot and left him where he laid He said he'd never forget that winter day He rode off on a streak faced bay I stood up and I shook his hand Told no one that I knew this man Started makin' up a plan Bout how I'd deal him his last hand Didn't take him long to come unwound He jumped up and gunned two men down Ran outside to leave the town But ole' bay was nowhere to be found I head out with my forty four And when he walked back through the door I shot till I could shoot no more And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave I shot and left him where he laid I'll never forget that winter day I rode off on a streak faced bay No I'll never forget that winter day |

He looks up from second base dad's up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide there ain't no bigger fan In the parking lot after the game he said "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch" He smiled and said "Yeah son I did" Life's not the breaths you take The breathing in and out That gets you through the day Ain't what it's all about Ya just might miss the point Try'n to win the race Life's not the breaths you take But the moments that take your breath away Fast forward fifteen years And a thousand miles away Boy's built a life he's got a wife And a baby due today He hears a voice saying "I made it son He said "I told you dad you didn't have to come" He smiles and says "Yeah I know you did" Life's not the breaths you take The breathing in and out That gets you through the day Ain't what it's all about Ya just might miss the point Try'n to win the race Life's not the breaths you take But the moments that take your breath away Just like it took my breath when she was born Just like it took my breath away when dad took his last that morn Life's not the breaths you take The breathing in and out That gets you through the day Ain't what it's all about Ya just might miss the point If ya don't slow down the pace Life's not the breaths you take |

Isn't it like her to look so pretty
Like everything is alright Like nobody cried all last night Look at the sun, oh how it's shinin' Almost a picture perfect day Like nobody's goin' away If it were just a little colder She might need me to hold her There's not a cloud in the sky It ain't rainin' or snowin' there's no cold wind blowin' It's a beautiful day for goodbye Isn't it like me to wait til she's leavin' To know how I feel I love her and I always will In a second or a moment, forever can change So I'm standing here prayin' for rain If it were just a little colder She might need me to hold her Wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect There's not a cloud in the sky It ain't rainiin' or snowin' there's no cold wind blowin' It's a beautiful day for goodbye wouldn't you know it the weather's perfect There's not a cloud in the sky |
