when i left tulsa she was still an innocent lady
lord only knows why she loved a guy like you
she called me cryin and she said she was havin your baby
you turned your back on her and broke her heart in two
i swore id get you for what you're puttin me through
and the only reason i aint got you
she begged me not to says she loves you
chorus:
but dont let the sun set on you in tulsa
dont let the sun set on you in tulsa
if the sun goes down on you
if you're still here you're goin down too
dont let the sun set on you in tulsa
shes the only thing ive ever really cared for
no she dont deserve this kind of shame
she carries a burden around that
you know you are to blame for
and you just laughed and said
they aint gettin your name
i swore id get you for what you're puttin me through
and the only reason i aint got you
she begged me not to says she loves you
repeat chorus

he'll start drinkin, and he'll start thinkin about her
again, again and again
he musta brought the jukebox cause those old sad songs they just won't
end, they just won't end
his old broken heart, it still burns with desire
cause you cant put out an old flame
by pouring whiskey on the fire
chorus:
and tonight he'll make a toast to her memory
and then he'll take another shot of a 100 proof of misery
and his old broken heart still burns with desire
cause you cant put out an old flame
by pouring whiskey on the fire
his tears fall like rain but his pain just wont die down
cause theres another blaze thats brewin
as he buys another round
repeat chorus
he'll start drinkin, and he'll start thinkin about her
again

hey honey so what we had a little fight
we both said some things that we didnt mean last night
yeah we should of kissed and made up instead of giving up
and getting up on the wrong side of the bed
and lord knows that im an early riser
and with this new day he sent me a reminder
just as sure as the sun keeps risin
true love is true and it knows no compromisin
chorus:
so what part of i love you dont you understand
maybe you should take a wiff in that old big red coffee can
and if you still cant see you're the one and only one for me
and always will be heres a kiss and a cup
sweetheart wake up and smell the coffee
lookin right here at the front page of this mornins paper
just bad news and headlines of hatred and anger
this old cruel world they'll try to bring it to the ground
but ill be danged if its gonna keep on keepin the good luck down
repeat chorus
honey aint that just like a woman
makin somethin out of nothin at all
then again aint that just like a man
acting bullet proof and ten foot tall
repeat chorus
heres a kiss and a cup
sweetheart wake up
heres a kiss and a cup
no i wont give up
heres a kiss and a cup
sweetheart wake up
and smell the coffee

Girl I hate to see you cry
Laying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way that it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Now you know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
There in the circle of your friends
We'll defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way that it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who is misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
. . .

Breaker breaker one nine is someone out there on that line
If you see my girl won't you please remind her
That my heart is breaking and this big ol' rig is shaking
I'm gonna keep that hammer down until I find her
Well she packed her bags and rented a U-Haul
Unhitched my heart hit the road around nightfall
Now I'm throwin hubs and speeding out of control
She never said where she was going but she said where I could go
Breaker breaker one nine is someone out there on that line
If you see my girl won't you please remind her
That my heart is breaking but I don't smell no bacon
So I'm gonna keep that hammer down until I find her
Well we took that big trip on down the aisle
Everything was hunky dory for a while
Now this Detroit is winding, my mind is grinding gears
I can hardly see the road with this truck load of tears
Breaker breaker one nine is someone out there on that line
If you see my girl won't you please remind her
I've got Smokey on my tail and unless I go to jail
I'm gonna keep that hammer down until I find her

now he dont expect her to stay true to him
and she never says that she will
but hes got a first love that just might kill him
and she knows hes hooked on the thrill
so she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more
for the fever that drives him to just run its course
she talks to that picture they took their last night
together
says you cant be a cowboy forever
no you cant be a cowboy forever
sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts
more than it did yesterday
she knows his voice and he still sounds determined to do
whatever it takes
so she'll wait and worry then she'll wait some more
for the fever that drives him to just run its course
the whiskey he drinks said some things last spring
that upset her
lord he cant be a cowboy forever
no you cant be a cowboy forever
then one night he shows up and says whats for dinner
with that cocky grin on his face the way that she smiled
and the way that she held him, told him he wasnt too late
she closed her eyes and he put that ring on her finger
said you cant be a cowboy forever
no you cant be a cowboy forever
no you cant be a cowboy forever

I can still see you standing there next to me in the county fair ticket line
With cotton candy in your one hand and your other hadn in mine
It seems just like yesterday, letter jackets and football games girl
We've come a long way through the years had our fair share of heartache and tears
Chorus
We've had our ups and downs and turn arounds but our love was stronger than any fight
Even when we lost control we never let go we kept on hangin' on for dear life
I know no matter the size of the mountain you and me will be side by side
Baby ain't life and love one big rollercoaster ride
Back in the day we were cool and crazy like two outlaws on the run
Now making love means making babies and I swear we're having twice the fun
It's been no walk in the park but then again that's not our style
It wouldn't be too entertaining without a little drama every once in awhile
Chorus
Baby you still drive me crazy, you still make my heart skip a beat
With those butterfly first time feelings you've always kept me on the edge of my seat
. . .

The words cannot express, the way you look in that white dress
I dont believe theres ever been such a beautiful sight.
All my dreams are coming true, that yellow rose aint got nothing on you
Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight.
Chorus
And tears will be falling everywhere, as your lettin down your hair
From cowboys wishin, that it was them holding you tight
Well thats the harsh reality, Id feel the same if you hadnt chose me
Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight
The lone star is shining bright above, and theres magic in the air
But looking deep into your eyes, I cant help but sympathize
For those who will never know, the kind of love we share
Chorus
And tears will be falling everywhere, as your lettin down your hair
From cowboys wishin, that it was them holding you tight
Well thats the harsh reality, Id feel the same if you hadnt chose me
Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight
Yes Hearts are breaking across Texas

By that look on your face
i know you know whats on my mind
Honey it's really half your fault
standing there looking that fine
I swear i can't believe my eyes
you look so good it almost hurts
Wearing nothing but a smile
and one of my old favorite sweatshirts
Chorus:
If you're wanting a reaction
girl I'm fixing to ignite
You say it takes two to tango
so put on your dancin' shoes tonight
There's still that magic when we touch,
just like i felt the very first time
And i have to pinch myself cause
i still can't believe you're mine
Lord knows i'm blessed to be the man
who gets to sweep you off your feet
When it comes to loving you,
you know i never miss a beat
Chorus
There's a full moon shining and
baby we're both fixing to find
What you get when you mix
soft kisses with a little red wine
Chorus

Well God bless Texas
And Deakon Shackleford
He read the bible seven times
And he believed every word
That ol' beat up leather book had been through it all
He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw
Singin'
"Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound"
That saved a wrech like me
He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
He'd take me fishin' after church
And taught me things I needed to know
No, Deakon didn't have a family
Lord knows he wished he did
He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid
Chorus:
And today he joined up with Jesus
Wearing shiny pearl snaps
We sang a few gospel hymns
And then the soldier played taps
I bet he's walkin' with Pete down the street paved with gold
Showin' off his brand spanking new wings
And his barbed wire halo
He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through
She held his right arm next to his anchor tatoo
He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth
He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth
He lost the will to love
He lost the will to live
Until he met a man who taught him to forgive
Yeah life took him to hell and back
To hell and back a time or two
But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue
Singin'
"I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind
But now I see"
(Chorus)
Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry
And though I told him that I wouldn't I couldn't help but lie
Cause today he joined up with Jesus
Wearing shiny pearl snaps
We sang a few gospel hymns
And then the soldier played taps
I bet he's walking with Pete down the street paved with gold
As sure as the old church bell still rings
He always said he had country in his soul
He's showing off his brand spanking new wings
And his barbed wire halo
Sweet chariots coming forth to carry me home
. . .

I heard someone out poking fun
At the ol' country boy and the songs that he sung
Still cracking jokes he sarcastically implied
Let me guess your girls gone and your dog just died,
and I said hey...
Chorus:
That's what I like about a country song
where somebody done somebody wrong
Not just something that is understood,
by those high rollers in Hollywood
It's about real folks living a real life with real problems, like and old ex wife
If you agree with the boys and me then sing along,
that's what I like about a country song
Some like to rock, some like to roll
Some like it fast and some like it slow
If you're left or right or right down the middle
Everybody stops to listen when that bow hits the fiddle
It's music for the rich or poor,
hot mamas driving to the grocery store
All the farmers, the doctors,
the truckers and the teachers
The young punks, the old drunks,
even Church of Christ preachers
PRAISE THE LORD!
That's what I like about a country song
where somebody done somebody wrong
Not just something that is understood,
by those high rollers in Hollywood
It's about real folks living a real life with real problems, like a future ex wife
If you agree with the boys and me then sing along,
that's what I like about,
that's what I like about,
. . .
