Lyrics

• 1. Play Something Country

  Yeah, she blew through the door like TNT
  Put her hand on her hip, pointed her finger at me
  said I'm a whiskey drinking, cowboy chasin hell of time.
  I like Kenny, Keith, Alan and Patsy Cline,
  Im a full grown queen bee lookin for honey

  Ayooo Play somethin country
  Yeah the band took a break the DJ played P.Diddy
  she said I didnt come here to hear somethin bumpin from the city
  Said I, I shaved my legs, I paid my Money
  Ayoo Play somethin Country
  Ayoo aw Play somethin country
  Crank up the band play the steel guitar,
  Hank it up a little lets rock this bar.
  Threw back a shot yelled I'm a George Strait Junkie
  Ayoo Play somethin Country
  Ayoo aw Play somethin country

  Well the bartender yelled Y'all Its Closin time!
  She got this wild look on her face and said Your truck or mine?
  I know a place down the road its kinda funky
  Ayoo aw out in the Country
  Ayoo now play somethin country.

  Crank up the band play the steel guitar, Hank it up a little lets rock this bar.
  Threw back a shot yelled I'm a George Strait Junkie
  Ayoo Play somethin Country
  Ayoo now Play somethin country

  Crank up the band play the steel guitar,
  Hank it up a little lets rock this bar.
  Threw back a shot yelled I'm a George Strait Junkie
  Ayoo Play somethin Country
  Ayoo Play somethin country

• 2. She's About As Lonely As I'm Going To Let Her

  Oh, off across the room
  She sits alone
  Pretty as a picture
  Sadder than a sad song

  Well I'll do what it takes
  Try whatever works
  I can't just sit here
  And watch her hurt

  Chorus:
  While she sorts out
  Why Mister Right did her wrong
  Give her one more drink
  And a few more songs
  In the barroom haze
  All alone she sits
  Oh, she's about as lonely
  As I'm gonna let her get

  Oh sittin' lonely at the bar
  Tryin' to drown the past
  Starin' at her broken heart
  At the bottom of her glass

  Oh, I don't want to push her
  But I can't take much more
  Think I'm gonna have to step up
  And show heartache to the door

  Chorus:
  While she sorts out
  Why Mister Right did her wrong
  Give her one more drink
  And a few more songs
  In the barroom haze
  All alone she sits
  Oh, she's about as lonely
  As I'm gonna let her get

  While she sorts out
  Why Mister Right did her wrong
  Give her one more drink
  And a few more songs
  In the barroom haze
  All alone she sits

  Yeah, she's about as lonely
  Yeah, she's about as lonely
  As I'm gonna let her get

• 3. My Heart's Not A Hotel

  when your headlights cut across my wall
  yeah, i thought it might be you
  looking for a place to fall
  talking sweet and thinking small
  seeking out convenient arms
  yeah, and resting for a while
  someone to keep you safe and warm
  while you ride out your latest storm
  oh

  (chorus)
  my heart's not a hotel
  you can sheck in and out of
  it's not a tempary shelter
  it's a home for someone's love
  don't just come here when you're lonely
  knowing full an' well you wont stay
  'cause i don't have the strength tonight
  to turn you away

  oh don't let the dawn find me asleep
  on a pillow of regret
  take all my dreams,just leave the key
  and let me keep my dignity
  'cause

  (chorus)

  no don't come when you're lonely
  knowing full an' well you wont stay
  'cause i don't have the strength tonight
  to turn you away
  i don't have the strength tonight
  to turn you away

• 4. Whiskey Do My Talkin'

  I'm not some come on strong romeo cowboy
  no i'm not that type
  without a little help
  i probably have two left feet
  but you're not gonna let that happen tonight
  turn up that jukebox, set me at the bar
  i promise her the moon
  you throw in the stars

  (chorus)
  whiskey do my talkin'
  say all the things i can't
  here's to you my hundred proof friend
  go on and so your thing
  she's just a line away from falling
  going wild and honky tonking
  whiskey do my talkin'

  if i met her on the street
  in the broad day light
  i couldn't bring myself to speak, or get a word out right
  but you put me in a bar room you put a drink in my hand
  i'm a cool, calm, and collected
  silver tongue ladies' man

  (chorus)

  oooh I
  tell her all the things i can
  heres to you my hundred proof friend
  go on and do your thing
  yeah, she's just a line away from fallin
  goin wild and honkey tonking
  hey

  (chorus)

• 5. Hillbilly Deluxe

  Well, up in the backwoods, down in the holler,
  Ol' boys feelin' like a dog on a collar.
  Keepin' that chain pulled tight.
  Waitin' on saturday night.
  Put on the smell good, put on Skynyrd,
  Head into town like a NASCAR winner.
  Cruisin' back and forth to the Tasty Freeze.
  Everywhere you look all you see is,

  Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick up trucks.
  Big timin' in a small town.
  Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
  Black denim and chrome to the bone,
  With a little home-grown.
  A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

  Couple kids, sweet things, drivin' a fast bash.
  Shoot 'em a coons' smile.
  Hopin' that they smile back, "Hey, baby, what's your name?"
  Burn a little rubber when the red lights change.
  Here come the blue light, here come the bonnie.
  Hot on the bill y'all, let's move the party.
  Gotta go, but that's alright.
  Do it all again next Friday night.

  Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-'em-up trucks.
  Big timin' in a small town.
  Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
  Black denim and chrome to the bone,
  With a little home-grown.
  A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

  --Instrumental break.--

  Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-'em-up trucks.
  Big timin' in a small town.
  Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
  Black denim and chrome to the bone,
  With a little home-grown.
  A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.

  Hillbilly deluxe.
  Hillbilly deluxe.
  Hillbilly deluxe.

• 6. One More Roll Of The Dice

  You aint been thinkin' this thourgh now have ya?
  The last thing you need is the thing that you keep coming back to
  The memories still fresh in your mind
  The way that you lost with it all on the line
  More than you could justify
  but she gives you that look and you just gotta try

  One more roll of the dice
  Maybe just one more shot in the dark
  One more chance that your luck might change
  While you still got a little somethin' left of your heart
  She's a game you can play, not a game you can win
  But one more roll of the dice and your believing again

  Maybe your still holiding onto what it felt like
  The higher the stakes the bigger the rush when it goes right
  But when your gamblin with love,
  Having it all is never enough
  Its a curse when it gets in your blood
  Your down to your shoes but you can't give it up

  [Chorus]

  she's a game you can play
  not a game you can win
  but one more roll of the dice and your believing again

  [Chorus]

• 7. Just Another Neon Night

  I'm a cold one down at the end of the day
  A little sundown buzz and more on the way
  I wash a week's worth of dust off my old truck
  While Bobby Earl runs home to get dressed up

  Here comes clifford, gotta forty in a brown bag
  In his pointed toe boots and a hat band rebel flag
  He's got an Eastwood grin and a too early swagger
  Hollerin' turn off that rap boys, and play me some Haggard

  (Chorus)

  Getting’ drunk, getting’ loud
  Billy throws a punch in the crowd
  Some cowboy's lights got out
  Runnin' wild, getting high
  Smokin' tires through the lights
  Livin' like we’re never gonna die
  It's just another, just another neon night

  They got Ricky and the Redstreaks playin' down the road
  Oh, it’s all night ladies night at the Cotton-Eyed Joe
  JC always gets the girl, Billy's always fighting
  Poor old Bobby Earl never gets the right one

  (Chorus 2X)

• 8. Believe

  Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
  Down the street where i grew up
  Momma used to send me over with things
  We struck a freindship up
  I spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing

  Says he was in the war when in the navy
  Lost his wife, lost his baby
  Broke down and asked him one time
  How ya keep from going crazy
  He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
  I asked him what he meant
  He looked at me and smiled, said

  (Chorus)
  I raise my hands, bow my head
  I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
  They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see
  Oh i believe

  Few years later i was off at college
  Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
  Getting all caught up on the gossip
  The ins and outs of the small town life
  She said oh by the way son, old man Wrigley's died.

  Later on that night, i laid there thinkin' back
  Thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
  I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
  If there was ever anybody desevred a ticket to the other side
  It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said

  (Chorus)
  I raise my hands, bow my head
  I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
  They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see

  I can't quote the book
  The chapter or the verse
  You can't tell me it all ends
  In a slow ride in a hearse
  You know I'm more and more convinced
  The longer that i live
  Yeah, this can't be
  No, this can't be
  No, this can't be all there is

  (Chorus)
  When I raise my hands, bow my head
  I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
  They tell me that there's more to this than just what i can see
  I believe
  Oh, I
  I believe
  I believe
  I believe
  I believe
  I believe

• 9. Building Bridges

  Since you've gone, my heart said something's wrong.
  How long can this keep goin' on?
  I'm still blue over losin' you.
  What else am I gonna do?

  I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
  An' all of this distance won't keep us apart,
  Won't keep us apart.

  Talk to me, talk to me about sympathy.
  Don't leave me beggin' on my knees.
  Since you've gone, my heart says something's wrong.
  How long can this keep goin' on?

  I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
  And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
  Won't keep us apart.

  I'm buildin' bridges straight to your heart,
  And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
  Won't keep us apart.

  I'm buildin' bridges, (I'm buildin' bridges.)
  Straight to your heart,
  And all of this distance won't keep us apart,
  Won't keep us apart.

  (I'm buildin' bridges.)
  Straight to your heart.
  Whoa, I,
  Whoa I, I'm buildin' bridges,
  Staright to your heart.

• 10. Her West Was Wilder

  There’s a picture of us in Baha, California
  Eating fish tacos and drinking cold, cold beer
  And man we had the time of our lives
  Yes that was a very good year
  Drove all the way up the coast of California
  All the way up to 101
  One time we cruised all the way to Vancouver
  Just to watch the setting sun
  Every time I looked in those far away eyes
  I could see me getting left behind
  I gave her my best
  But her west was wilder than mine

  Got lost in the desert and found an Indian casino
  And she started rollin those nines
  Stackin up the chips half way to heaven
  Without even trying
  We watched it all go at the roulette wheel
  She let it all ride on the black
  She said don’t worry baby
  You can’t keep what you never had
  You can’t keep what you never had
  Laugh like the devil and howl at the moon
  I knew I was losing my mind
  I gave her my best
  But her west was wilder than mine

  I was gasin up in a dust storm outside of Sedona
  She was chasin tumbleweed
  She flagged down a kenworth and jumped in a cab
  It was the last of her I’d ever seen
  It was the last of her I’d ever seen

  Where the wild wind blows and anything goes
  As long as its over the line
  I gave her my best
  But her west was wilder than mine
  It was wilder than mine

  Theres a picture of us down in Baha, California
  Eatin fish tacos, drinking cold, cold beer

• 11. I May Never Get Over You

  Not that long ago
  Seems like yesterday
  We were caught up in love
  We were swept away
  Seems like over night
  From out of the blue
  Something went wrong
  Between me and you

  Oh, I'll move on
  I'll be strong
  Do what I have to do
  No matter where you are
  You'll always have my heart
  I may never get over you

  The hopeless dreams, insanity
  I'm just a fool with a fantasy
  I close my eyes
  I feel your touch
  Just as real as it ever was

  I'll move on
  I'll be strong
  Do what I have to do
  No matter where you are
  You 'll always own my heart
  I may never get over you

  I'll move on
  I'll be strong
  Do what I have to do
  No matter where you are
  You'll always own my heart
  I may never get over you
