1. BULLETS IN THE GUN

They used to call me lightning
I was always quick to strike
Had everything I own
In the saddles on my bike
I had a reputation
For never staying very long
Just like a wild and restless drifter
Like a cowboy in a song

I met a darkhaired beauty
Where they lay the whiskey down
In southern Arizona
In a little border town
She had to dance for money
In that dusty old saloon
I dropped a dollar in the jukebox
Played that girl a tune, yeah

Never see it comin'
It just hits you by surprise
It's that cold place in your soul
And the fire in her eyes
That makes you come together
Like wild horses when they run
Now the cards are on the table and
The bullets in the gun

She was sittin' on my lap
We still had shots to kill
When a man pulled up
Who owned the bar
In a Cadillac Deville
Grabbed her by her raven hair
And threw her on the floor
Said, "No free rides for the cowboys,
That ain't what I pay you for, no"

She jumped up and grabbed my pistol
Stuck it in the fat man's back
Said, "Open up the safe
And put your money in the sack"
Then tied his hands behind him
And put a blindfold on his eyes
Said, "If you're dumb enough to chase us, man,
You're dumb enough to die"

Never see it comin'
It just hits you by surprise
It's that cold place in your soul
And the fire in her eyes
Makes you come together
Like wild horses when they run
Now the cards are on the table
And the bullets in the gun

We rode across the border
Down into Mexico
When you're runnin' from the law
Ain't that where everybody goes
We came upon a town
With a name I couldn't spell
She gave me what I came for
In that Mexican motel

I woke up to sirens
And the sound of running feet
Near 50 Federals locked and loaded in the street
She grabbed my 44
I grabbed the money in the sack
I kissed her for the last time
And we headed out the back

Every gun was on us
And every heartbeat pounded
The only thing that's left to do
When they got you all surrounded
She fired that old pistol
But we didn't stand a prayer
Money hit the gravel
Bullets filled the air

Never see it comin'
Just hits you by surprise
It's that cold place in your soul
And the fire in her eyes
Makes you come together
Like wild horses when they run
Now the cards are on the table and
The bullets in the gun

Bullets in the gun
Bullets in the gun
Bullets in the gun


2. SOMEWHERE ELSE

I walk downtown in my broke down shoes
To the side street pub with the bar band blues
Take a backseat at the front door table
Order me a Bud and a shot of Black Label

Closed this place down once again
Sittin' here wishin' you'd walk right in
Down my shot, shoot my beer
I ain't gotta go home but I can't stay here

It's a short, short walk down to my second home
But that boulevard gets longer when you're walkin' back alone

And I don't know where you might be
Wherever it is, it will be without me
I keep thinkin' I'll come home
One day and find you

Long as I got that neon light
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
I know I can make it downtown by myself
'Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
You might end up somewhere else

Kickin' off my shoes, tumblin' through the front door
Knowin' too well the kind of night I'm in for
Cubs got beat again on Sports Center
My bedroom's cold as my TV dinner
One more cigarette and I'll kill the light
And I'll lay there wishin' you were sleepin' at my side

And I don't know where you might be
Wherever it is, it will be without me
I keep thinkin' I'll come home
One day and find you

Long as I got that front porch light
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
I know I can make it home all by myself
'Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
You might end up somewhere else

Girl, I don't know where you might be
Wherever it is, it will be without me
Keep thinkin' I'll come home
One day and find you

Long as I got that front porch light
Shinin' like a beacon in the night
I know I can make it home all by myself
'Cause if you don't know where you're goin'
You might end up somewhere else

Ah, somewhere else
You might end up somewhere else
Somewhere else
Hey


3. TRAILERHOOD

My neighbor carl, he lives next door
Pink flamingos on his porch
At night he teaches driving school
And he sits out by his plastic pool

He takes off his shirt he opens up a cold one
Old Carls Deans a fool but it takes one to know one

(Chorus)
Musics playin up and down the block
Mostly chirstian blues, country folk and southern rock
It's a little piece of paradise way out here in the woods
There's always something going on down in the trailerhood

Across the street there's gambling Jane who's always got the poker game
If you care to try your luck you can buy a seat for 15 bucks
You can call to raise or you can check and fold 'em
I like five card stud but it's moslty texas hold 'em

(Chorus)

My new tattoos and farmer tans, rodeo and nascar fans
Dallas Cowboy football on TV
When the storm starts gettig bad, you hear the those sirens humming
Grab a six pack and a lawn chair there's a tornado coming

.... alright ....

(Chorus)

I got 'er made in the shade with the moonshine lemonade
There's a party going on down in the trailerhood

Bring me another beer Momma


4. IN A COUPLE OF DAYS

Two weeks notice would've been real nice
I could've put this broken heart on ice
Barely full of whiskey, all laid up in bed
Given up on what lies ahead

Could've quit my job and let my beard grow out
Another sad old story that you hear about
But I got nothin' from you
Came without a warning at all

It was hot and dry when you told me goodbye
Now isn't that a hell of a deal?
Right out of the blue, you broke it in two
Now you wanna know how I feel

Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down?
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days

It ain't soakin' you but I know that old pain
It will come like the storm once it starts to rain
Right now the sky is just a couple of clouds
It's gonna be hell once the bottom falls out

I might head for shelter, I might run and hide
I might take my chances standin' outside
It's too early to tell
Hell, you just left me today

It was hot and dry when you told me goodbye
Now isn't that a hell of a deal?
Right out of the blue, you broke it in two
And now you wanna know how I feel

Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down?
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days

Why don't you come around when the swellin' goes down?
Right now I'm doin' okay
Hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days

Girl, hit me back
I should know something in a couple of days


5. THINK ABOUT YOU ALL OF THE TIME

Bet you’ll be glad to know
I got a brand new girlfriend
She took my broken heart
Patched it up again
She’s good lookin’
And she drives a convertible
She likes to laugh a lot
Totally flirtable

(Chorus)
I know that you think I’m lonely
But you got it wrong, Clementine
Hey, I don’t miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the time

I hear the people talkin’
They say you’re lookin’ good
They seen you walkin’ with him
Down in the neighborhood
You got all lovey-dovey
With this handsome man
I did not catch the rest
I got it second hand

(Chorus)

I think about you when I’m dancin’
And when I’m asleep, I think about it too
And if by chance I start romancin’
You guessed it, I think about you

Baby, I know that you think I’m lonely
But you got it wrong, Clementine
Hey, I don’t miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the time

Hey, I don’t miss you too much
But still I think about you all of the time


6. KISSIN' IN THE RAIN

Thunderbird was July hot now
Muddy lake was the perfect spot for
Camp fire, drinkin' beer
Skippin' half your senior year

Told your mama little white one
She didn't want you hangin' out in the sun
With a small town roughneck man
That will never be nothin' but an old field hand

Shut up with your girl friend
'Bout the time a storm rode in
Wind got up, it was pourin' down
We could hear the sirens goin' off in town

We were kissin' in the rain, kissin' in the rain
Hittin' hard like a hurricane
Summer nights lit up with lightnin'
Soakin' wet starin' in your eyes and

We didn't care a thing about the thunder
While the angry sky we were under
Was raisin' Cane
We were kissin' in the rain

You got in too late that night
And you and mama had a fight
You weren't ever gonna win
Never got to see me again

Well, I get storm the days roll by
Now and then I still drive
Cross the dam in my old Ford
I get out and walk that shore

I still see you standin' there
Blue jeans too wet to wear
Hair all drenched and out of place
And mascara runnin' down your face

Every time the clouds get low
And the sirens start to blow
I get a sweet little déjà vu
My Thunderbird, me and you

Were kissin' in the rain, kissin' in the rain
Hittin' hard like a hurricane
Summer nights lit up with lightnin'
Soakin' wet starin' in your eyes and

We didn't care a thing about the thunder
While the angry sky we were under
Was raisin' Cane
We were kissin' in the rain
Yeah
Kissin' in the rain


7. DRIVE IT ON HOME

Rollin' down the Interstate
Headin' out to Illinois
Runnin' 'bout 95
Listen to my engine, boy

Sand burnin' beano
Westcoast, turn around
I don't make no money, they love
Sittin' the friggin' trailer down

Peter Bills' pullin' out
Now I'm pulin' up behind and
Son, if you can't find 'em, ground 'em

Got the roadhouse rockin' on the radio
Takes a lot of rig to haul a big payload
Takes a lot of men to make the 18 road

Pop another white cross
Dodge another speed cop
Hit another truck stop
Drive it on home

Got the redneck romeo
Bagged all sittin' there
I'm wide open in a
Hammered down rockin' chair

Big bambino
Front door, green light
City ain't seen no
Bear traps all night

Need to stop and grab a bite
And I could use a tag along
Ladybug, where'd you go?
Great, you got your ears on

Got the roadhouse rockin' on the radio
Takes a lot of rig to haul a big payload
Takes a lot of men to make the 18 road

Pop another white cross
Dodge another speed cop
Hit another truck stop
Drive it on home

We got the roadhouse rockin' on the radio
Takes a lot of rig to haul a big payload
Takes a lot of men to make the 18 road

Pop another white cross
Dodge another speed cop
Hit another truck stop
Burn another black top

Makin' me some good time
Cross another county line
Pass the city limit sign
Drive it on home
Drive it on home, baby

I'm gonna push it, yeah
I'm gonna push it, baby
Ooh


8. AIN'T BREAKIN' NOTHIN'

I told you when I met you, don't try to love me
But I love you for trying to anyway
You're cryin' and it don't surprise me
That you can't find it in your heart to stay

This ain't the first time to be my own worst enemy
Baby, don't you worry, you found me

(Chorus)
You ain't sayin' nothin' that ain't been said
You ain't leavin' somethin' that ain't been left
Ain't bringin' me nothin' I don't already know

You ain't doin' nothin' that ain't been done
Ain't startin' somethin' that ain't begun
And you say that it won't kill me to watch you go
But you ain't breakin' nothin' that ain't already broke

I used up all the whiskey
Me and Jesus got by
But still you goodbye kiss me
No matter how hard I try

I'm down lower than I like to go
This ain't the first time that I've dug out a lovin' soul

(Chorus)

You ain't doin' nothin' that ain't been done
Ain't startin' somethin' that ain't begun
And you say that it won't kill me to watch you go
But you ain't breakin' nothin' that ain't already broke
Ain't already alone, ain't already dealin' with you bein' gone

(Chorus)

You ain't doin' nothin' that ain't been done
Ain't startin' somethin' that ain't begun
I say that it won't kill me to watch you go
Baby, you ain't breakin' nothin' that ain't already broke

Already broke
Already broke
Already broke


9. IS THAT ALL YOU GOT

This old heart didn't die
It's been broke by the best
But I made it out alive
When you laid our love to rest

Baby, it burned, that corner got turned
And I'm doin' well these days
I've got some stones so, girl, bring it on
What do you expect me to say?

Is that all you got, is that all there is?
All you can hit me with?
Still standin' tall after the fall
Girl, is that all you've got to do?

Sit around
Tryin' to bring a cloud of rain my way
See I found out
I can just sleep in on a stormy day

That sun's gonna shine and given the time
It'll be clear again
Out of the hole, back in control
And I took it square on the chin

Is that all you got, is that all there is?
All you can hit me with?
Still standin' tall after the fall
Girl, is that all you've got to give?

Is that all you got, is that all there is?
All you can hit me with?
Still standin' tall after the fall
Girl, is that all you've got to give?

Is that all you got?
Is that all there is?
Is that all you got?
Is that all there is?


10. GET OUT OF MY CAR

I like your banjo in there

Girl, you drank all my beer
And the whiskey's all gone
I'm sittin' here
Ready to get it on

You got me thinkin' you won't
You got me thinkin' you might
And it's 3 o'clock in the mornin'
And I can't beat around the bush all night

We've already kissed
(We've already kissed)
We've already danced
(We've already danced)

You're wonderin' if
You ought to put on your shoes
Or pull down your pants
(Come on, pull down your pants)

What would it hurt?
Pull off that shirt
Babe, we've already come this far
Get out of your clothes
Or get out of my car

Whichever you choose
I'm ready to go
I could take you to the house, baby
Or I can drive it on home

We can do it right here
Or do it somewhere else
But make up your mind
Do something quick
Or I'm gonna do it myself

We've already kissed
(We've already kissed)
And we've already danced
(We've already danced)

You're wonderin' if
You ought to put on your shoes
Or pull down your pants
(Come on, pull down your pants)

What would it hurt?
Take off that shirt
Babe, we've already come this far
Get out of your clothes
Or get out of my car

We're gonna drive around a little while then
Let's do it over here in the middle, babe

We've already kissed
(We've already kissed)
We've already danced
(We've already danced)

And you're wonderin' if
You oughta pull off my boots
Or pull down your pants
(Come on, pull down your pants)

Hey, what would it hurt?
Take off that shirt
Babe, we've already come this far
Get out of your clothes
Or get out of my car
(Get out of my car)

I got out of my clothes
She got out of my car

What's up, babe?
Bye, bye, boredom

Strike 3


11. 11 MONTHS AND 29 DAYS

When I busted in Austin
Walkin' around in a daze
Man, I'm sittin' in the slammer
Lookin' out through the bars 'cross a haze

It'll all clear up
In 11 months and 29 days

Keep that Lone Star cold
The dance floor hot while I'm gone
Keep the Lone Star cold
Dance floor hot while I'm gone
While I'm gone

Keep your hands off my baby
I ain't gonna be gone that long
Incognito bandito

That old judge put a sledgehammer
Put it in my hand when he said
I'm gonna send you down to Huntsville
And I'm gonna shave your face
And I'm gonna shave your head

Doin' 11/29
Cement floor for my bed

When I busted in Austin
Walkin' around in a daze
Now I'm sittin' in this slammer
Lookin' out through the bars 'cross a haze

It'll all clear up
In 11 months and 29 days


12. I'VE BEEN A LONG TIME LEAVING

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time you done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

Loved you so much, loved you so much
I stayed around when I should've moved along
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

I say, "Hi there high line, hello highway"
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he whoops the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

I say, "Hi, there high line, hello highway"
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he's flyin'
And he's whoopin' the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop

And I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone

Gone gone gone
Gone gone gone


13. CHUG-A-LUG

Chug-a-lug chug a lug
Make ya wanna holla hidy hoe,
Burns your tummy don't you know
Chug-a-lug chug-a-lug

Grape wine in a mason jar
Homemade and brought to school

On a field trip to the farm
Me and friend sneek off behind
This big old barn
Where we uncovered a covered up
Moonshine still
And we thought we'd drink our fill
And I swallowed it with a smile

Chug-a-lug chug a lug
Make u wanna holla hidy hoe,
Burns your tummy don't you know
Chug-a-lug chug-a-lug chig a chagle uh


14. SUNDOWN

I can see her lyin' back in a satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess

Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs

She's been lookin' like a queen in the sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means

Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better, when I'm feelin' no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better, when I'm feelin' no pain

Y'all can probably sing this thing, can't you?

I can picture every move that a man can make
Gettin' lost in a woman is your first mistake

Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, got me feelin' mean

Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feelin' better, when I'm feelin' no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs

Sundown, you better take care
If I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again
