(Bob DiPiero/ Bart Allmand)

Connie came back from her second cousin's wedding
First time she'd been home in ‘bout a year or two
Just in time for the rehearsal dinner
But that crazy Connie wasn't wearing any shoes

Chorus
She lives in L.A. she flies to New York City
That woman's been around the world
You can take that girl out of the honky tonk
But you can't take the honky tonk, can't take the honky tonk
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Well the dinner broke up at about 11:30
And the boys went off to do what boys will do
Connie said come here girls we need to huddle up
Around something that's a hundred proof

Repeat Chorus

It's nine a.m. in front of the church
People are going nuts just looking for the groom
And by the way where's Connie
She's run off with that boy in Cancun

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Ronnie Dunn/Charlie Crowe)

My darling, I have wronged you
Down the devil's path I have roamed
Regret, sadness and sorrow
Now in my soul have found a home

Chorus
My Sweet Caroline
From your loving arms I've strayed
In your heart may you find
Forgiveness I pray
A fool to temptation
I surely played
I come to you for salvation
Have mercy in love's name

Repeat Chorus

The chilling cry of sin's wrath
Sounds like thunder through my head
I find no rest now no comfort
In a cold dark lonely bed

Repeat Chorus (2x)

. . .


(Kix Brooks/Gary Nicholson)

Tommy got off at the Texaco
Came bustin' in to Norma's Café
Said come on man we gotta go
You know how those party girls hate to wait
Filled up his daddy's trunk with ice and beer
Yeah he was always stealin' the old man's car
Radio never came in too clear
So I'd hang out one on my piece of junk guitar

Chorus
Yeah we ruled from the blacktop
To the levee where the party never stopped
Yeah there was power in the night
The spirit was alive
When we would sing
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
When we were kings

Sittin' around the fire one night Tommy called my name
I turned around, he said what do ya think
Had his arm around the prettiest girl I'd ever seen
He kissed her hand and took another drink
I say you must be an angel puttin' up with this guy
She laughed and said play me some Rolling Stones
I couldn't let that chance go by
Yeah I sang her “You Can't Always Get What you Want”

Repeat Chorus

That was the fall of '65
I guess Uncle Same was hedging his bet
Tommy's number cam up he said “Hey, I'll be Fine”
“I'll teach 'em a lesson they'll never forget”
Angel and I went to wave goodbye
I guess we'd always thought we'd see him again
You know I took her out a couple of times
We always just wound up talkin' 'bout him

Repeat Chorus
Shan na na na na na na na
When we were kings
Shan na na na na na na na
Shan na na na na na na na

. . .


(Ronnie Dunn/Terry McBride)

She said what she wants is a man to be faithful
A true heart somebody willin' and able
To stay by her side through thick and thin
A tender touch every now and then

She's not hung up on fairy tales
Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin' well
Fancy cars or diamond rings
What she wants most are the little things

Chorus
That's what she gets
That's what she gets
That's what she gets for loving me

At times I lay awake at night
Stare at her laying by my side
Knowin' there in her heart as she sleeps
She can forever count on me

Repeat Chorus

Whatever turns her on
I'm here to do it
Till the day they write my name in stone
I'll live to prove it

Repeat Chorus (2x)

. . .


(Kix Brooks/Ronnie Dunn)

I was raised off of old Route 3
Out past where the blacktop ends
We walked to church on Sunday morning
Race barefoot back to the Johnson's fence
That's where I first saw Mary
On that roadside pickin' blackberries
That summer I turned a corner in my soul
Down that red dirt road

It's where I drank my first beer
It's where I found Jesus
Where I wrecked my first car
I tore it all to pieces
I learned the path to heaven is full of sinners and believers
Learned that happiness on earth ain't just for high achievers
I've learned I've come to know
There's life at both ends
Of that red dirt road

Her daddy didn't like me much
With my shackled up GTO
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night
Throw rocks at her bedroom window
We'd turn out the headlights
Drive by the moonlight
Talk about what the future might hold
Down a red dirt road

I went out into the world, and I came back in
I lost Mary, oh I got her back again
And driving home tonight feels like I've found a long lost friend

. . .


(Ronnie Dunn/Terry McBride)

What's it like girl
To have somebody love you
With a love
Too good to be true
You oughta know
Feels good don't it

How bout those lonely nights
You used to pray
Something like this
Would come your way
Thank your lucky stars
Lucky's what we are
Feels good don't it

Some people go through life
Never knowing
What love is
Or where it's going
Me and you girl we just walked up on it
Feels good don't it

You and me girl
We're one of life's little wonders
We go together
Like lightning and thunder
Sky-high
On fire
Feels good, don't it

. . .


(Jerry Lynn Williams)

I sat down to say it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't play it
And it tore me all apart

The bell I tried to ring it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't sing it
And I used to know this song by heart

Chorus
I sued to sing this song to you
For days and days
In so many different manners
In so many different ways
I used to think this dream we had
Could never come apart
And I used to know this song by heart

Repeat Chorus

So when I sat down to say it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't play it
And it tore me all apart

The bell I tried to ring it
The words wouldn't come
I just couldn't sing it
And I used to know this song by heart

. . .


(Ronnie Dunn)

What do I do to make you love me
Baby, like I love you
Why do you keep the key to your heart
Behind a door I can't get through

Chorus
I have faith
I hide my time
I'll be all right
I'll be fine
I'm a believer in love

Like a fool playin' with fire
While my flame burns alone
Like a slave to blind desire
Oh I keep hangin' on

Repeat Chorus

Somday you'll feel in my kiss
What I do in yours
So wait to see in your eyes
That light I'm looking for

Repeat Chorus

I pray
For a sign
Live for the day
You'll be min
I'm a believer in love
I believe in love

. . .


(Kix Brooks/Rafe Van Hoy)

There's a house down on the corner with the porch light on
And a window I can look in and see you're always home
Waiting for me with the lights low in your silk night gown
Somewhere on the outskirts of memory town

Past the stoplight there's a desert where my Coupe Deville
Roars down a lonely highway and it always will
The wind is in your hair and we're nowhere to be found
Two spirits on the boulevard of memory town

Chorus
I can pull the shades and feel your lips they're touching mine again
I can watch the shadows of the moon slow dance across your skin
Hold you in a place where lovers never say goodbye
Every moment comes alive, when I go down to memory town

Round the corner there's an ocean where the waves roll in
And a feeling that you only feel when love begins
We lie together in the sand and watch the sun go down
I close my eyes and smell the warm salt air in memory town

2nd Chorus
I can pull the shades and feel your lips they're touching mine again
I can watch the shadow of the moon slow dance across your skin
Hold you in a place where lovers never say good-bye
Every moment comes alive, every time I close my eyes and go back down to memory
town

There's a house down on the corner with the porch light on
A window I can look and see you're always home
Waiting for me with the light low in your silk night gown
Somewhere on the outskirts of memory town

Take me down
To memory town

. . .


(Ronnie Dunn/Kenny Beard/Terry McBride)

She said goodbye to her daddy while her mamma cried
I kept the motor runnin' in my car outside
She kissed him on the cheek, daddy's little girl
Then a woman walked out to take on the world

Through red taillights and a cloud of dust
We went flyin' through the night, it was all about us
Sittin' on the seat right next to me, we drove with a tank full of destiny

Chorus
She was born to run
She was born to run
She was born to run born to run to me

With a new world waitin' down the road up ahead
Passion runnin' wild through our hearts and heads
With everything we owned packed in the backseat
We had each other, that was all we needed

They all called me crazy, said she'd never settle down
I was just her ticket, her ticket out of town
But it looks like that night fate proved 'em wrong
'Cause she's been mine, mine all along

Repeat Chorus

It's been years now and I never doubted
Somewhere, somehow we'd make through
She's still here, no two ways about it
Her heart's still mine and her love's still true

She was born to run
Was the Master's plan
Born to run
Put her heart in my hand
Born to run born to run to me
(Repeat)

. . .


(Kix Brooks/Paul Nelson)

Sometimes I think about how lucky I am
To live where I do, to be what I can
And to know that you're mine when I'm holding you close
And to never forget
What matters the most
I'm gonna run with the wind behind me
Have fun when the sun is shining
Stop when the world reminds me
Got to take the time to pray

Chorus
Fight for the right to be free
Smile at what my children might be
Live with you beside me
Oh, till my dyin' day

As long as we are here, you know I'll always be there
If we're down to nothing we've still, sill got so much to share
I know I've been givin' way more than I deserve
I'm gonna live every day like it was my last
Baby, I'll always put you first

Repeat Chorus

I'm gonna walk on the road less traveled
Yeah, sit tall in the saddle
Know when I pick my battles
Not to be afraid

Fight for the right to be free
Smile at what my children might be
And live with you beside me
Till my dyin' day

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Kix Brooks/Ronnie Dunn/ Don Cook)

My baby's like a honky tonk
Open all night, make you feel right
Gets me going, got me buzzing like a neon light
Knock you out like a punch in a barroom fight
My baby's like a smooth shot of whiskey
Make you feel warm, kinda make you feel dizzy
Can't get my fill, I can't get enough
My baby's everything I love

My baby's like a Coupe Deville
Fast motor burnin' comin' over the hill
Oh what a ride, oh what a thrill
Drive all night with my hands on the wheel
My baby's like a trip to town
Radio up, top pulled down
Can't get my fill, I can't get enough
My baby's everything I love

She's all I need in one tight package
Got a spell on me, works like magic
I'm after her like a hound on a rabbit
She's got it all and I got to have it

My baby's like a country song
Dancin' through my head playin' all night long
Plays me like a fiddle, get me singin' along
Well, I can't turn off what she turns on
My baby's like a jukebox rocking
Got the guitars ringing and the big bass poppin'
Can't get my fill, I can't get enough
My baby's everything I love

Nothing but the good stuff
My baby's everything I love

. . .


(Kix Brooks/Bob DiPiero)

Some folks call me crazy my momma call me 'hon
And depending on the mood your in, I might be either one
Hey, I get up and I go to work and I got to work some more
When I get home I take it off and I throw it on the floor

Chorus
I'm a country boy and I'm a rockin' roller
Like a little crown in my Coca-Cola
Say a little prayer for all the soldiers
Fightin' for the USA
I never was captain of the football team
You ain't never been a prom queen
It's just us and that's ok
If I got you well it's a good day
Good day to be me

You weren't wearin' makeup baby on the nigh you said we would
It's the funny things that I remember when I'm feelin' good
A dollar in my pocket and a catfish on the line
A song about a simple love that's stronger than the pines

Repeat Chorus

When I see ol' glory wavin' when the music starts
I take my hat off of my head and put it on my heart

Repeat Chorus

If I got you well it's a good day, baby
Good day to be me

. . .


(Niles Rogers/Jimmie Vaughan)

Say things to me like a cowgirl would
I'll do tricks for you like a cowboy should
You look romantic layin' in the hay
I need you tonight in a new kinda way
When you look at me with those eyes
It makes me start to fantasize
Do it to me like I know you could
So I can do it to you baby like a Cowboy should

Ridin' the range I think of you
I dig your chili you know it's true
Make big money put it in the bank
That longhorn caddy got a great big tank

You're the kinda woman who's above the rest
Nothing for me but the best
You say you need a fella who really can
Do it you good like a cowboy man

Got a massive wardrobe of cowboy clothes
From the top of my head to the tip of my toes
Ah, you look so good in my hat with fringe on it
So put on my boots hmmm doggone it

Do it to me baby like I now you can

. . .



Chorus
Some say a holy war is comin'
Gonna be the end of mortal man
There's a TV preacher sayin'
Armageddon is at hand
Sayin' the Jews, the Gays, the Junkies
The Politicians and Infidels
Have conjured up the devil
Upon the gates of hell

I turn on the TV
Lord I can't believe my eyes
Oh Terror walks the streets
While a million mothers cry
Christians pray to Jesus
Lord help us if you can
Send Gabriel and his legions
To defend his promised land

Chorus

All it's prophets lead
While the blind sheep they follow
The path to damnation with no future no tomorrow
Justice she may be blind
Tall and proud she marches on
Judgment day is coming
God himself wrote that in stone

They say a holy war is comin'
Gonna be the end of mortal man
There's a TV preacher sayin'
Armageddon is at hand
They said fire rained down from Heaven
On the towers of Babylon
Oh the innocent the sinners
They all died as one

Now victory will be mine
All feeble and good say
But in the end and in its own way
Righteousness will have it's way
