Lights Of Nashville
02:43
|
|||
|
Refrain:
Those lights of Nashville make a pretty sight;
See how they sparkle shining up the night
I had my hopes and dreams but now I see
Those lights of Nashville weren't shining for me
Verse 1:
A suitcase and an old guitar and a poor boy's dreams
But I found out Nashville is not all that it seems
Now I've pawned everything I own, ain't got a dime
Feels like I'm dying one dream at a time
(Refrain)
Verse 2
Those streets aren't paved with gold down on music row
It's just another street when you've got no place to go
Well, tonight I guess I'm sleeping in my car
Back home they still believe I'm the next big country star
Refrain:
Those lights of Nashville make a pretty sight;
See how they sparkle shining up the night
I had my hopes and dreams but now I see
Those lights of Nashville weren't shining for me
Those lights of Nashville weren't shining for me

Slow Dancing With You
02:33
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Penny loafers and bobby socks,
And a heart that beats strong and true
Saturday night at the record hop,
Slow dancing with you.
Verse 2
Each time I see you it's like the first time
When our love was young and new
A song on the jukebox was still just a dime
For slow dancing with you
Break
I can't believe it's been so many years,
You still look the same to me
Put your hair up in that ponytail,
We'll go cruisin', my steady girl and me
Verse 3
Let's relive old memories, the ones we love the most,
There's nothing I'd rather do
We'll play those old records and we'll hold each other close
Slow dancin' with you
Slow dancin' with you

Blue Alberta Moon
02:15
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Well mama, take a look at junior,
He's singing a brand new happy tune
He's got himself a date, they're going walkin'
Under that blue Alberta moon
Verse 2
He's shined his shoes and got himself a haircut,
His aftershave would make you want to swoon
You know what it's for, that pretty girl next door,
She's waiting 'neath that blue Alberta moon.
Break
Well blue moon of Alberta keep on shinin',
Shinin' down from above
Keep on shining bright, lighting up the night,
Show him the way to the one that he loves
Verse 3
So mama don't wait up for junior,
He won't be coming home too soon
He'll be walking with his baby, holdin' her hand,
Under that blue Alberta moon
He'll be walking with his baby, holdin' her hand,
Under that blue Alberta moon

Red Deer Crossing

5. |
||||
|
Refrain:
What a friend I lost last night;
Why'd I go and start that fight
Now she's gone, clean out of sight;
What a friend I lost last night
Verse 1
What made me say the things I said
Now our love is lying cold and dead
I could have sworn that I was right,
What a friend I lost last night.
Verse 2
If not for pride I'd say I love her so,
And I never meant to see her go
Now alone in the dark can't see no light,
What a friend I lost last night.
Refrain
What a friend I lost last night;
Why'd I go and start that fight
Now she's gone, clean out of sight,
What a friend I lost last night
What a friend I lost last night.

Halfway Tempted
02:28
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Halfway round the dance floor with a new girl in my arms
I'm feeling kind of helpless, she's turning on the charms
Music's soft and pretty, and things are feeling right
I'm halfway tempted to fall in love tonight.
Verse 2:
We were perfect strangers when we walked through the door
I asked her for just one dance, and then one more
Now she's breathing kind of heavy - am I holding her too tight?
I'm halfway tempted to fall in love tonight.
Break:
Well, half a love was all I'd had before,
Til I found my other half on that big dance floor.
Verse 3:
I asked if I could take her home, she just said OK
Walkin' up to her front door I'm wonderin' what to say
Then she kissed me and I held her close
'Neath that front porch light
I'm halfway tempted to fall in love tonight.
I've always said I don't believe in love at first sight -
I'm halfway tempted to fall in love tonight.

This Country Boy
02:43
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Well, there’s a real hot band playin’ down at the Silver Saloon,
I’ve been workin’ all week - gonna make it up real soon,
I need some serious boogie woogie,
That’s my heart’s delight,
And this country boy is gonna rock ’n’ roll tonight
Verse 2:
I been comin’ in tired it seems like a week or more,
But it's all worthwhile with what tonight has in store,
I'm gonna drink some beer but have no fear,
I’ll be home by the mornin’ light,
And this country boy is gonna rock ‘n’ roll tonight
Bridge:
Well, this country boy has had about all I can stand,
A whole week of bein’ normal - things are gettin’ way out of hand
Well, I probably won’t get crazy, ah but then again I just might,
And this country boy is gonna rock ‘n’ roll tonight.
Verse 3:
Friday night only seems to come once a month or so,
I’ve been savin’ it up, now I’m gonna let it all go,
You know, people, I could stay home watchin’ TV,
But that just wouldn’t be right,
And this country boy is gonna rock ‘n’ roll tonight.
Oh yeah,
This country boy is gonna rock ‘n’ roll tonight.
Well, this country boy gotta rock 'n' roll tonight.

Full Size
03:01
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Well I guess y'all noticed I'm the jumbo economy size;
Yeah, but that's ok, there's no need to sympathize
I guess you could say I accept my fate,
Besides there's more of me to appreciate
And I'm a male model seen through my baby's eyes
Refrain
Well, don't you know that I'm full size, I ain't no compact
Yeah, this is me folks it ain't no act,
I never was one to do anything halfway
I'm a big old truck, not a mini van,
I can't be nothing but what I am
There's no denyin', people, I'm full size
Verse 2
Well you won't ever see me eating in a sushi bar
And you can look all you want, you won't find a phone in my car.
I like good country music like Haggard and Jones,
Play'n something else, son, you just leave me alone
I'll be rockin' on the porch with my baby and my old guitar
Refrain:
'Cause you know that I'm full size, I ain't no compact
This is me folks it ain't no act,
I never was one to do anything halfway
Yeah, I'm built solid, ain't built for pretty,
If you're going to be a bear you might as well be a grizzly
There's no denyin' people I'm full size
Well, don't criticize till you've tried living full size
(Yeah, honey, could I get some gravy on them fries? Thank you, ma'am!)

I Don't Mind
04:02
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Today I saw you with another
And the smile on your face looked so fine
I'd give all I own to see you happy
Go ahead and break my heart, I don't mind.
Verse 2:
It's been comin' for so long, we've both seen it;
I knew you'd be gone when it was time.
Don't be concerned if you should see me cryin'
Go ahead and break my heart, I don't mind.
Bridge
Oh please, don't make it seem too sudden
When you turn and walk away this time.
Give me a chance to get used to life without you
Then go ahead and break my heart, I don't mind.
Verse 3
I hope the new love that you found makes you happy
I should hate you, but you know I'm not that kind
I'll just go and make room for him in your new life
Go ahead and break my heart, I don't mind.
Go ahead and break my heart, I don't mind.

Country Saturday Night
02:47
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Papa’s got the banjo, I’m here with my guitar,
And Uncle Joe is lookin’ for a fight,
Momma’s in the kitchen, you can hear her singin’,
Whoa have mercy it’s a country Saturday night.
Verse 2:
Every one for miles around is comin’ through the front door,
Here’s a jug of somethin’ to help us get it right,
Now here comes the sheriff - there’s brother slippin out the back door,
I wonder what he did on a country Saturday night.
Chorus:
It’s a country Saturday night, it’s a country Saturday night,
If you don’t enjoy it I wish y’all’d just stay home,
We’re just a little bit wild, we can’t help it it’s just our style,
We ain’t botherin’ you so just leave us alone.
Verse 3:
My wife’s on the sofa, clappin’ hands and singin’,
And Lord don’t she make a pretty sight,
Later we’ll go walkin’, maybe do a little more than talkin’,
Oh hot dog it’s a country Saturday night.
Verse 4:
After everybody’s gone, I can put my feet up,
And cuddle close with my heart’s delight,
You don’t know what you’re missin’ till you been moonlight kissin’
That’s the very best part of a country Saturday night.
Chorus:
It’s a country Saturday night, it’s a country Saturday night,
If you don’t enjoy it I wish y’all’d just stay home,
We’re just a little bit wild, we can’t help it it’s just our style,
We ain’t botherin’ you - just leave us alone
Why don't y'all leave them country folks alone?

It's Never Too Late
02:11
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Well they say there's no fool like an old fool,
They tell me I'm having too much fun
Well, excuse me if I don't seem too worried,
It's never too late to die young
Verse 2
You'll find me wherever there's a party,
And pretty girls, you know there'll be some
Don't tell me not to overdo it -
It's never too late to die young
Break
They tell me this night life will kill me,
Nobody seems to know when
They tell me some day I've got to slow it down,
I'll have a ball until then
Verse 3
As long as there's bright lights and whisky,
And a few crazy things I haven't done
I'm going to live it up until they lay me down,
It's never too late to die young
Well, I'm going to live it up until they lay me down,
It's never too late to die young
It's never too late to die young
