Well Bobby’s out with Suzie Q and Larry’s here trying to down a few cold ones to get her off his mind, He’s drinking Turkey likes it water if the bar had something harder he’d be on it in a blink of an eye. Well just about then Suzie Q walked in with that boy Bobby holding her hand and some are scared to death and some held their breath but not one person there didn’t understand.
Well its all about love, one don’t’ one does, and that’s just the way it is. One hearts moving on while ones holding strong and ones left on the fence. Its gonna be a Sunday morning, first light, grapevine, tellin lies, face to face, what happened on Saturday night
Then Larry called the waitress over tipped her a 20 just to hold her and Suzie saw it out of the corner of her eye, So she left Bobby standin all alone and empty handed as the band played “Why Lady Why,
Well its all about love, one don’t’ one does, and that’s just the way it is. One hearts moving on while ones holding strong and ones left on the fence. Its gonna be a Sunday morning, first light, grapevine, tellin lies, face to face, what happened on Saturday night
Oh Bobby’s aim was true as he knock out Larry’s tooth and Suzie Q started cussing bobby out, She told Larry that she loved him, on the floor as she hugged him, and the waitress bought bobby around, and she said,
Well its all about love, one don’t’ one does, and that’s just the way it is. One hearts moving on while ones holding strong and ones left on the fence. Its gonna be a Sunday morning, first light, grapevine, tellin lies, face to face, what happened on Saturday night

you were sittin on his tailgate
she was lovin on his roughneck
she was talkin bout runnin away
while he was puffin on a cigarette
& just thinkin
how am i gonna say goodbye

he said girl you got it good here
you don’t need to mess with
a guy going nowhere
she said how’s about Texas?
he got up and shook his head
then said
aint ya been listenin
it’s never gonna work out
and i think it’d be a good time now
to let me go

you don’t need me baby
stop holdin on the way you are
don’t you know I'm no good for you
and it’ll only break your heart
if you don’t let me go

he said other than a dreamer
i ain’t nothing but a drifter
you could do a lot better
he leaned over and he kissed her
he said you’d got another year of college
and a good momma and a daddy
and me i got 93 dollars and this old ’82 Chevy

so let me go
you don’t need me baby
stop holdin on the way you are
don’t you know I'm no good for you
and it’ll only break your heart
if you don’t let me go

she said nice try
but you can’t hide behind those shades there on your face
see i don’t think you’re all that tough
i just think you’re scared of love
and i think i won’t take up that much space

so let me go
take me with ya baby
it’s so cold outside your arms
and we both know that you’re not as strong
as you think you are

so let me go take me with ya baby
I'm alone where you are
we both know I'm so good for you
and it’ll only break ya heart
down the road if you don’t let me go...
with ya baby

let me go

On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
Laughing at my jeans and my boots
Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits
When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free
So if you'd like the first one can be on me
He said i'm headin back from business in New York and Rome
Tell me son, Where do you call home

I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
The courthouse clock it still dont work
Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flings
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
Yes it may not sound like much
But its where I'm from

So we drank that round and then another
There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover
He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother
He's been fighting the cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said I think this is the end
So come take me home to my family and my friends

Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
The truck's a ford and the tractor's green
And Amazing Grace is what we sing
Well there's a county fair every fall
And your friends are there every time you call
Yeah It may not sound like much but it's
Where I'm from

And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
Italian suits haven't always been my style
See I was quarterback of my high school team
We took state back in '63
And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen

Cause Im from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still dont work
Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads wear high school flings
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
Yes it may not sound like much
I said it may not sound like much but it's where i'm from
it's where i'm from
Where Im from
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound......

Paid first and last month's rent, i don't know why i even carried in this old bed of mines
Its not like i ever sleep
All i do is think of her, and wonder how im gonna make things work
Cause i know as a dad i got a lot of responsibility
Even tho God gave this gift to the both of us
Some how every other weekend is how it ended up

(chorus)
When the telephone rings, i drop everything
Cause when all u got is that 8 o'clock, nite nite dad i miss you a lot
I stop in my tracks, i try to act strong when she calls
And i thank God she cant hear tears...when they fall

Now its her Dr. Seuss and me and shes learning how to read
And i cant see those pictures, but i can hear those pages turn
And her mother says it bath time, as she blows a kiss through the line
I don't kno whats worse saying goodbye, or talking to her
Cause im the one that should be there tucking her in the bed
But since her voice is all i have im thankful for what i get

(repeat chorus)

If she knew i was crying she might think its her fault, oh but that's just me missing her
Every time we talk....every time we talk

(repeat chorus)

. . .


Well its been awhile since i did something i could get arrested for
all the girls i ran around with dont run around no more
those days of racing cars and closing down bars are winding down i feel like the only cowboy left here in this town

cuz i raised enough hell for my next fifty years, dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told, but man this growing up is getting old

Yea my buddy and I use to raise em high and stay out til four
but his new wife wont let me crash on the couch no more
even he said man aint it time to tone it down, now thats the last thing i thought i'd ever hear come from his mouth

cuz we raised enough hell for our next fifty years, dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told, but man this growing up is getting old

like a wild horse with such a tame i got a wild streak thats hard to break

cuz i've raised enough hell for my next fifty years, dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told, but man this growing up is getting old

yea this growing up is getting old
yea its gettin old

I think honesty is right, think lying is wrong.
I think Willy and Haggard wrote some awful good songs.
I think God rides around with the radio on, in a ragged ole truck just like mine.
I don't think it's as bad as the newspaper says.
I think Vegas is rigged, But then I wouldn't bet on these theories and thoughts rollin' round in my head,
Cuz they change and they turn on a dime.

Chorus:
But I know there's a sun and at night there's a moon.
I get cold in December and sunburnt in June.
This ole world keeps turnin'
Time it ain't movin, it's slow!
There's a woman that loves me like nobody can.
She's my reason for livin', the reason I am
the luckiest man in the world.
And that's all I know.

I think taxes are high, think politics stink.
But old Unlce Sam don't give a damn what I think.
And I don't believe worms aughta be in a drink,
But I swallowed once on a dare.
Think there's only one Beatles and Elvis is dead.
And I don't believe half of the stuff we been feed,
from the spoons in the hands of those ole talkin' heads
I'm not even sure that I care.

Chorus:
But I know there's a sun and at night there's a moon.
I get cold in December and sunburnt in June.
This ole world keeps turnin'
Time it ain't movin, it's slow!
There's a woman that loves me like nobody can.
She's my reason for livin', the reason I am
the luckiest man in the world.
And that's all I know.

I've got a family that loves me like nobody can.
They're my reason for livin', the reason I am
the luckiest man in the world
I'm the luckiest man in the world!
And that's all I know.
That's all I know
That's all I know!!

Baby come and look
At this dusty yearbook
Do you remember those two kids?
It's you and me
Most likely to succeed
Had it all planned out yes we did

You were off to college gonna practice law
I was gonna play football

But we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
Momma cried, daddy went for a drive
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all away

The fall came and went
And so did are friends
Off doing all the things we thought we would
It was tough I know
But we never let go
Kept holdin' onto prayers
We thought we could

And then that morning in December
Don' you remember?

When we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
With your baby blue eyes
Our baby boy cried
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all away

Ain't it funny how life works out sometimes
just like we planned?
You make all the rules in this house
And I'm quarterbacking for our little man

You were off to college gonna practice law
I was gonna play football

But we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
Momma cried, daddy went for a drive
And the whole world changed
Not a clue what to do
So I just kept on loving you
On the day
That we threw it all

God bless the day
We threw it all away

Yeah we threw it all away

Sorry Don't Matter

Brown paper sack, wintergreen pack
A full tank of gas from a mini mart
Cruisin' slow with Curtis Loew Speakers
'bout to blow, let the party start

Take that ol' dirt road past that grain silo
Red taillights glow, it's a pickup parade
Over the cattle guard, find a place to park
Show me to the bar, take my keys away
It's time to play

Then it's beer bong hangin' from the hayloft
Jell-O shooters with Smirnoff
Long necks chillin' in the feed trough
Pig smokin' slow
Flatbed band cranked up loud
The more we drink the better they sound
See the bonfire from all around
Lettin' everybody know
We've gotta barn burner

Mini skirts, skintight shirts
Look so good it hurts, drives me insane
Mechanical buckin' bull
Shot glasses full of tomorrow's pain
Ain't you glad you came

Drinkin' games goin' in the horse stalls
Two step under the disco ball
Billy Bob's blowin' on his duck call
It's a hell of a show

Sticky from the sweat so to beat the heat
We go skinny dippin' down in the creek
Promise the girls we can't see
Thank God for that moon glow
We've gotta barn burner

Homemade shine way too strong
David Allen Coe sing-a-long songs
Bathroom lines takin' too long
Go behind the tree

Party all night 'til the sun comes up
Sleep it off 'til you lose your buzz
Good luck tryin' to find your truck
We'll see you all next week

At the Barn Burner
Let it burn

. . .


He's been sitting by the phone since she left
But it's time for work and he just can't be late
So he grabs his old guitar
And he plays a couple bars on the machine
And then he softly sings

Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home

Well the message light was blinking when he got back
It was an old friend calling cause he just heard the news
He says Man I hope you find her
If I see her I'll remind her that her dad is worried
And want her to know

Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home

Well the days dragged by without a word from her
And it looked like she might not be coming back
People said man don't you think it's time to take that old message off
He said no, you never know when she might call

She was just outside a bar in New York City
Her so-called friends had left her all alone
She was scared he wouldn't want her
But she dialed up that old number and let it ring
And then she heard him sing

Chorus
It doesn't matter what you've done, I still love you
It doesn't matter where you've been, you can still come home
And honey if it's you, we've got a lot of making up to do
And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home

He walked in just in time to hear her say
Dad, I'm on my way
