Lyrics

• 1. My Maria

  My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way
  I been longin' to see her
  When she's around she takes my blues away
  Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
  I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies

  Maria, Maria I love you

  My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
  Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
  Gypsy lady you're a mircle work for me
  You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
  She is the sunlight when skies are grey
  She treats me so right lady take me away

  My Maria
  Maria I love you
  My Maria
  Maria I love you

  My Maria
  Maria I love you

• 2. Honky Tonk Truth

  I'm the life of the party, baby, since you said good-bye
  Just ask old Joe, He knows, I'm here every night
  And that good old boy in the mirror looking around for you
  It ain't me
  And that's the honky tonk truth.

  That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
  I put my right hand here on this beer And swear on this bar
  I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying
  I ain't moaning the blues
  I wouldn't lie to you
  Now that's the honky tonk truth

  Don't think I'll come crawling back 'cause I don't miss you
  If you walked up and puckered up, girl
  I wouldn't bother to kiss you
  And that washed up, broken down fool
  Hanging out on that stool Well it ain't me
  Now that's the honky tonk truth.

  That's the honky tonk truth cross my broken heart
  I put my right hand here on this beer And swear on this bar
  I ain't thinking, I ain't drinking, I ain't crying
  I ain't moaning the blues
  I wouldn't lie to you
  Now that's the honky tonk truth

• 3. You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone

  I'm still hurtin' from the last time
  You walked on this heart of mine
  I can't find much to believe in
  You let me down so many times
  Heaven knows how I love you
  But I'm tired of holding on
  You better kiss me
  'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

  Not much chance we're gonna make it
  If I'm the only one who's trying
  You know I'm running out of reasons
  And we're running out of time
  Someday, girl, you're gonna wake up
  And wonder what went wrong
  You better kiss me
  'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

  You're good at going through the motions
  All I hear are alibis
  Not I get this empty feeling
  When I look into your eyes
  I don't see a love light shining
  I don't know what's going on
  You better kiss me
  'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

  You better kiss me
  'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

  You better kiss me
  'Cause your gonna miss me when I'm gone

• 4. Boot Scootin' Boogie

  Out in the country past the city limits sign
  Well there's a honky tonk near the county line
  The joint starts jumpin every night when the sun goes down
  They got whiskey women music & smoke
  It's where all the cowboy folk go to boot scootin' boogie

  I've got a good job I work hard for my money
  When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin'
  I fire up my pickup truck & let the horses run
  I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way
  Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie

  Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
  Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
  Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

  The bartender asks me says son what'll it be
  I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
  The dance floors hoppin' & it's hotter than the fourth of July
  I see outlaws, inlaws crooks & straights all out makin' it shake
  Doin' the boot scootin' boogie

  Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
  Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
  Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

  Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
  Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
  Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

  I said get down, turn go to town boot scootin' boogie

  oooh get down turn around go to town boot scootin boogie

• 5. He's Got You

  I thought we would always be together
  The love we shared was gonna last forever
  Once I was your one and only
  Now here I sit, Mister Lonely

  He'll hold you tonight, but I won't
  What's he got that I don't
  The one thing I thought I'd never lose
  He's got you

  Beneath this dark cloud you left me under
  Can't sort it out so I'll sit and wonder
  Tell myself, "It hurts, don't it"
  Now my heart will be forever haunted

  He'll hold you tonight, but I won't
  What's he got that I don't
  The one thing I thought I'd never lose
  He's got you

  He'll hold you tonight, but I won't
  What's he got that I don't
  The one thing I thought I'd never lose
  He's got you
  He's got you

• 6. Hard Workin' Man

  I'm a hard workin' man
  I wear a steel hard hat
  I can ride, rope, hammer and paint
  Do things with my hands that most men can't
  I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try
  I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by

  Got everything I own
  By the sweat of my brow
  From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots
  I owe it all to my blue collar roots
  I feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train
  I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain

  I'm a hard, hard workin man
  I got it all on the line
  For a peace of the promised land
  I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
  'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin'
  Is to outrun the wind

  Come Friday night
  I like to party hard
  I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
  Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty
  Come Monday mornin' I'm the first to arrive
  I ain't nothin' but business from nine till five

  I'm a hard, hard workin man
  I got it all on the line
  For a peace of the promised land
  I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
  'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin'
  Is to outrun the wind

  I can't wait to get up in the mornin'
  And do it all over again
  Well I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man

• 7. That Ain't No Way To Go

  Lipstick letters across the mirror this morning
  Said, "Goodbye, baby." You left with no warning
  Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart
  I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream
  You always said we had a good thing
  You never once let on we were falling apart

  That ain't no way to go. Girl, it just ain't right
  Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
  That ain't no way to go. Was it all a lie
  After all this time, that ain't no way to go

  Getting nowhere, I'm tired of thinking
  Guess I'll do a little wishful dreaming
  And make a whiskey wish upon a star
  Train whistle blowing down the tracks
  Lonesome sound says she ain't coming back
  It's such a cold blow from out of the dark

  That ain't no way to go. Girl, it just ain't right
  Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
  That ain't no way to go. Was it all a lie
  After all this time, that ain't no way to go

• 8. Rock My World (Little Country Girl)

  She's got a T-Top Camaro with a scoop on the hood
  And two big speakers blasting Johnny B. Goode
  Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime
  She plays with my heart and messes with my mind
  Acts like Madonna but she listens to Merle
  Rock my world little Country girl

  She wears snakeskin boots made by Calvin Klein
  And cheap sunglasses from the five and dime
  All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks
  She got an "A" in math and never cracked a book
  Sure looks good in her denim and pearls
  Rock my world little Country girl

  Rock my world
  Drag me out on the floor
  Dance with me till I can't dance anymore
  One-step, two-step, get in a line
  I gotta find a way to make you mine

  I tell her that I love her but it ain't enough
  She says I got to learn to loosen up
  Get a little wild on Saturday night
  But make sure she's home before the mornin' light
  Sunday she's all ribbons and curls
  Rock my world little Country girl

  Rock my world
  Drag me out on the floor
  Dance with me till I can't dance anymore
  One-step, two-step, get in a line
  I gotta find a way to make you mine

  Rock my world little Country girl

• 9. Neon Moon

  When the sun goes down
  On my side of town
  That lonesome feeling
  Comes to my door
  The whole world turns blue

  There's a rundown bar
  Cross the railroad tracks
  I've got a table for two
  Way in the back
  Where I sit alone
  And think of losing you

  I spend most every night
  Beneath the light
  Of this neon moon

  If you lose your one and only
  There's always room here for
  the lonely
  To watch your broken dreams
  Dance in and out of the beams
  Of a neon moon

  I think of two young lovers
  Running wild and free
  I close my eyes
  And sometimes see
  You in the shadows
  Of this smoke-filled room

  No telling how many tears
  I've sat here and cried
  Or how many lies
  That I've lied
  Telling my poor heart
  She'll come back someday
  Oh, but I'll be alright
  As long as there's light
  From a neon moon

  If you lose your one and only
  There's always room here for
  the lonely
  To watch your broken dreams
  Dance in and out of the beams
  Of a neon moon

  The jukebox plays on
  Drink by drink
  The words of every sad song
  Seem to say what I think
  This hurt inside of me
  Ain't never gonna end

  Oh, but I'll be alright
  As long as there's light
  From a neon moon

  If you lose your one and only
  There's always room here for
  the lonely
  To watch your broken dreams
  Dance in and out of the beams
  Of a neon moon

  To watch your broken dreams
  Dance in and out of the beams
  Of a neon moon

  To watch your broken dreams
  Dance in and out of the beams
  Of a neon moon

• 10. Lost And Found

  I lost her trail on a Friday night
  She was gone before I got home
  She'd been getting restless
  In that big house all alone
  I've been up and down these city streets
  For three nights in a row
  And lord it's hard to find that girl
  When she gets the urge to go

  It's kinda like a lost and found
  In a border town
  Askin' bout a diamond ring
  They just look at you
  Like you've lost your mind
  Say they haven't seen a thing
  But I know she's been here lately
  I can still smell her perfume
  And she gets crazy on a full moon

  And I know she'll be coming back
  Her car is waiting right outside
  But, I don't want to think about
  Who's taking her for a ride
  And her unpredictability
  Is what I love about her best

  Lord I've got to find her quick
  Before she does something I regret

  It's kinda like a lost and found
  In a border town
  Askin' bout a diamond ring
  They just look at you
  Like you've lost your mind
  Say they haven't seen a thing
  But I know she's been here lately
  I can still smell her perfume
  And she gets crazy on a full moon

  She's out there somewhere
  Burnin up the night
  Somehow I've got to run her down
  I'm running out of time

  It's kinda like a lost and found
  In a border town
  Askin' bout a diamond ring
  They just look at you
  Like you've lost your mind
  Say they haven't seen a thing
  But I know she's been here lately
  I can still smell her perfume
  And she gets crazy on a full moon

  It's kinda like a lost and found
  In a border town
  Askin' bout a diamond ring
  They just look at you
  Like you've lost your mind
  Say they haven't seen a thing
  But I know she's been here lately
  I can still smell her perfume
  And she gets crazy on a full moon

• 11. She's Not The Cheatin' Kind

  She's dressed to kill in a dress he bought her
  She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
  She's come to dance a dance or two
  And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through

  She found out the hard way about him
  She's out to find out how she'll do without him
  Her hands are shakin', her heart's pounding
  By the way she's drinking his memory's drowin'

  She's not the cheatin' kind
  She's been cheated one too many times
  Oh, she's never fooled around
  He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
  She's not foolin' now

  She walks by and every head turns
  You can see how hot her fire burns
  He didn't know what a good thing he had
  It's too late and that's too bad

  She's not the cheatin' kind
  She's been cheated one too many times
  Oh, she's never fooled around
  He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
  She's not foolin' now

  She's not the cheatin' kind
  She's been cheated one too many times
  Oh, she's never fooled around
  'Cause he's still lyin' she's through cryin'
  She's not foolin' now

  She's not the cheatin' kind
  She's been cheated one too many times
  Oh, she's never fooled around
  He's still lyin' she's through cryin'
  She's not foolin' now

• 12. Brand New Man

  I saw the light
  I've been baptised
  By the fire in your touch
  And the flame in your eyes
  I'm born to love again
  I'm a brand new man

  Well the whole town's talking
  'Bout the line I'm walking
  That leads right to your door
  Oh how I used to roam
  I was a rolling stone

  I used to have a wild side
  They say a country-mile-wide
  I'd burn those beer joints down
  That's all changed now
  You turned my life around

  I saw the light
  I've been baptised
  By the fire in your touch
  And the flame in your eyes
  I'm born to love again
  I'm a brand new man

  I used to love 'em and leave 'em
  I'd brag about my freedom
  How no one could tie me down
  Then I met you
  Now my heart beats true

  Baby you and me together
  Feels more like forever
  Than anything I've ever known
  We're right on track
  I ain't looking back

  I saw the light
  I've been baptised
  By the fire in your touch
  And the flame in your eyes
  I'm born to love again
  I'm a brand new man

  I saw the light
  I've been baptised
  By the fire in your touch
  And the flame in your eyes
  I'm born to love again
  I'm a brand new man

  I saw the light
  I've been baptised
  By the fire in your touch
  And the flame in your eyes
  I'm born to love again
  I'm a brand new man

  I'm born to love again
  I'm a brand new man

• 13. Days Of Thunder

  A lot of trucks lined up down by the lake
  Drinkin beer on the back of the tailgate
  Boys from the valley wanna start a fire
  Hey baby what you wanna do tonight
  The only fear a rebel heart knows
  Nothing to do and anything goes

  Looking back on those days of thunder
  Shake my head and I have to wonder
  How we ever made it through that
  Every night your taking me back
  Desert road and a restless wind
  Ain't it good to feel that way again
  Here we are the way we were
  And those days of thunder

  That ole Ford is sure fast on the draw
  Out gunned the Chevys and out run the law
  Out skirts of town looking down on the light
  Waitin for some kind of lightening to strike
  The cars and the bars and the songs we knew had changed
  The fire burns the site of her still remains

  Looking back on those days of thunder
  Shake my head and I have to wonder
  How we ever made it through that
  Every night your taking me back
  Desert road and a restless wind
  Ain't it good to feel that way again
  Here we are the way we were
  And those days of thunder

  Looking back on those days of thunder
  Shake my head and I have to wonder
  How we ever made it through that
  Every night your taking me back
  Desert road and a restless wind
  Ain't it good to feel that way again
  Here we are the way we were
  And those days of thunder
  Those days of thunder

• 14. We'll Burn That Bridge

  Hello Miss Heartbroke
  Sit your sweet self down
  It's good to see your dancin' feet back out on the town
  Rumor has it you've had trouble with your man
  I've had trouble of my own, I think I understand

  We'll put out your old flame
  We'll build a bigger fire
  I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher
  And if his memory comes around
  And you think you still care
  We'll burn that bridge when we get there

  Come on let your hair down we'll have us a time
  He had his chance with you now all I want is mine
  Give me half an hour or just a dance or two
  And you'll forget old what's his name and how he walked out on you

  We'll put out your old flame
  We'll build a bigger fire
  I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher
  And if his memory comes around
  And you think you still care
  We'll burn that bridge when we get there

  We'll put out your old flame
  We'll build a bigger fire
  I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher
  And if his memory comes around
  And you think you still care
  We'll burn that bridge when we get there

  We'll burn that bridge when we get there
  Burn it down baby

• 15. She Used To Be Mine

  She looked so good movin’ ‘cross the dance floor
  Better than the day she left me
  Arm in arm with somebody new
  Holdin’ hands and laughin’ like we used to
  I got my best smile on, but it’s no disguise
  It don’t hide the pain in these eyes

  I did her so wrong, for so long
  Turned my back on her love, now she’s long gone
  I did my part, to break her heart
  She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
  She used to be mine
  Oh, she used to be mine

  It’s taken every bit of strength that I have
  To keep a hurt look off of my face
  I can’t keep from lookin’ back over my shoulder
  At the lucky man takin’ my place
  Oh, if it weren’t for my pride, I’d probably take off runnin’
  Guess what I’m feelin’, is what I got comin’

  I did her so wrong, for so long
  Turned my back on her love, now she’s long gone
  I did my part, to break her heart
  She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
  She used to be mine
  Oh, she used to be mine

  I did her so wrong, for so long
  Turned my back on her love, now she’s long gone
  I did my part, to break her heart
  She walked out on me, and tore my world apart
  She used to be mine
  Oh, she used to be mine

  Oh, she used to be mine,
  She used to be mine

• 16. Mama Don't Get Dressed Up For Nothing

  She said hey cowboy get off of that couch
  Yeah, the party's on and we're goin' out
  I got my low cut dress and my knee highboots
  I'm like money to burn and nothing to lose
  You're the man of the house you better think of something
  'Cause Mama don't get dressed up for nothing

  She said I been cooped up in this house all week
  It's time to pick it up and move it out to party street
  She said saddle up hoss it's your lucky day
  And I'm a she cat tiger comin' out of the cage
  We can go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
  Mama don't get dressed up for nothing

  She's hard to handle, a little high strung
  I'll see her bet and I'll raise her one
  I love when she gets wound up
  I'm Jack of Hearts, she's my Lady Luck

  We re gonna find a little place where we can rip and roar
  We gonna cut a deep groove in that hardwood floor
  Set up the shooters and break out the green
  Throw a whole row of quarters in the boogie machine
  We gonna turn up the heat and keep the jukebox humpin'
  'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing
  Go high rollin' or beer joint jumpin'
  Mama don't get dressed up for nothing
  She said babe you better think of something
  'Cause mama don't get dressed up for nothing

• 17. My Next Broken Heart

  You picked me up, you shot me down
  You're stepping out all over town
  Drove me back to drinking in this bar
  I found myself a brand new friend
  I'm headed that road again
  Working on my next broken heart

  Happy or sad, it's hard to tell
  You taught me how to hurt so well
  But when it comes to love
  I know my part
  I'll play this game that I can't win
  I'll be somebody's fool again
  Working on my next broken heart

  I thought all along you'd
  Be the death of me
  I met one tonight who wants
  What's left of me
  I've seen that look before
  She'll tear my world apart
  I'm working on my next broken heart

  I thought all along you'd
  Be the death of me
  I met one tonight who wants
  What's left of me
  I've seen that look before
  She'll tear my world apart
  I'm working on my next broken heart

  I'm working on my next broken heart
  I'm working on my next broken heart

• 18. Whiskey Under The Bridge

  There's not a heart that ain't been broken
  A lie that ain't been spoken
  A shattered dream that brand new love can't fix
  I've been burned, I've been cheated
  But this old heart's still beating
  Ain't no big deal
  It's just whiskey under the bridge

  Let's dance a little closer
  I'll help you get over
  The hurt you thought you never could forget
  The bitter tears you tasted
  All those nights you wasted
  Don't look back
  It's just whiskey under the bridge

  All those nights of drinking
  Finally got me thinking
  Heartache is just a waste of time
  I've been burned, I've been cheated
  But this old heart's still beating
  Ain't no big deal
  It's just whiskey under the bridge

  All those nights of drinking
  Finally got me thinking
  Heartache is just a waste of time
  I've been burned, I've been cheated
  But this old heart's still beating
  Ain't no big deal
  It's just whiskey under the bridge

  Ain't no big deal
  It's just whiskey under the bridge
  Ain't no big deal
  It's just whiskey under the bridge

• 19. Little Miss Honky Tonk

  I get out on the redneck side every now and then
  Call up my baby she comes over and the party begins
  She's a slick nickel she's right on the money
  I wouldn't give her up for a thousand buckle bunnies
  I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk

  She's got my number, knows my favorite songs on the jukebox
  Goes to gettin' down like crazy and the whole place rocks
  We'll have a few and get to feelin' right
  She'll be my queen bee I'll be her neon knight
  I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk

  Oh Oh I love her so
  Stand back give her room boys and watch her go

  She's a looker, heads turn when she comes through the door
  A show stopper when she gets to goin' out on the floor
  We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
  I feel like I'm a king when I'm out with her highness
  I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk

  Oh Oh I love her so
  Stand back give her room boys and watch her go

  We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
  I feel like I'm a king when I'm out with her highness
  I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
  I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
