(Chorus)
Lord don't you walk with a little
Sawin' on a fiddle and the crying of a steel guitar
Coming from the heart and soul
Born and bred in the ole Lone Star
Get them honky tonkin' blues
Let them be your saving grace
If you want to hear some country
Then you've come to the right place

You miss Waylon, if it don't make you smile
Like Willie and George Jones
You better stick around a while
You like Merle, Buck and Johnny
We might just get along
But if you don't, go slap your mommy
Cause your momma raised you wrong

Chorus

I like gravy on my biscuit, I like my chicken fried
I drink my coffee black, I sure like my Charlie Pride
Well I still solute ole Glory and I give glory to the lord
I tip my hat to ole E.T. and his Texas Troubadours

Chorus

Pinch me I must be dreaming waking up with you and feeling
The tender touch of your good morning kiss
No where else on earth is better than being next to you
Next to heaven, it doesn't get any better than this

(Chorus)
Next to heaven lies my fate, my best friend and my sole mate
God knows this kind of love only comes from up above
You're the answer to my prayers, nothing else compare
I'm next to heaven when I am next to you

You look just like an angel tangled in white satin sheets
Lying there with your hair all in a mess
I swear you look your best all dressed up next to nothing
Next to heaven, it doesn't get any better than this

Chorus (x3)

She said she was not the one for me
There was nothing I could do to change her mind
She said she was sorry but some things aren't meant to be
She was unaware that she was robbing her heart blind

(Chorus)
What she don't know is I'll always love her forever
What she don't know is that I've never done her wrong
Underestimation will break her heart for sure
What she can't see, what she don't know
Won't hurt her but it's killing me

Deep in the shadows of the smokey neon lights
I play myself in a lonely game of pool
I chalk it up as he sits down by her side
I take another shot, swallow my pride and I play a fool

Chorus

Watching her dance with him
Around that empty hardwood floor
Is like putting sawdust in the wound
And I cry a little more

Chorus

Like a killer at large
You strolled down Bourbon Street
Lookin' for an easy mark
With every man you meet
And I never saw the devil
Behind your rain blue eyes
Spellbound by your long legs and your little white lies

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

You're no Adalida, no pretty Cajun queen
Just a bad girl from Biloxi, more addicting than morphine
And when your love wears off
There's nothin' left but pain
And enough teardrops fall to flood Lake Ponchatrain

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

I can see you smilin' in some Creole cafe
Slippin' your love potion in someone's ettouffe

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

Oh, heaven help the heart that falls head over heels
Cause you'll tear it all apart just to see how it feels
How can you be so hot and so cold-blooded too
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you
Oh, heaven help the heart that falls in love with you

With the world in the palm of his hands
Slipping through his fingers just like grains of sand
He don't know his hourglass is losing time
Till she run out of patience and leaves him far behind

Chorus:
Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
Before they understand the way they feel
Some lovers are slower than others
Some will come around and some never will

If only she had a dime every time he's done her wrong
Or for every one wondering why she's still holding on
She could buy that rodeo and shut it down
Along with every honky tonkin' bar in town

Chorus:
Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
Before they understand the way they feel
Some lovers are slower than others
Some will come around and some never will

It may be his fault but she's still one to blame
For taking him back and playing his foolish games

Chorus:
Some lovers gotta learn love the hard way
Before they understand the way they feel
Some lovers are slower than others
Some will come around and some never will

He starts to think when she winks that he's somewhere he shouldn't be
He may be alone but at home someone's wearing his ring
So he heads for the door and ignores the devil on his shoulder
He'll do the right thing but someone's gonna break down and hold her

Chorus:
And there's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel
In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale
If the walls could talk you know they'd have some stories to tell
There's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel

Once again another man walks in and orders him drinks for two
Despite his wife and picture perfect life he's to good to be true
While he's flirting she'd swear he's working on a job out of town
A married man, you know he's got no business messing around

Chorus:
And there's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel
In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale
If the walls could talk you know they'd have some stories to tell
There's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel

It's a five star chain or a run down dirt cheap no name
With or without room service what done is the same

Chorus:
And there's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel
In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale
If the walls could talk you know they'd have some stories to tell
There's a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel

I'm tryin' not to panic, I'm gettin' all romantic
Gettin' soft with everything I say and do.
I'm talkin' hours on the phone, puttin' on that sweet cologne
I'm even puttin' down the toilet seat for you.

Aw, wait a minute, it gets worse.
I found myself holdin' your purse, standin' outside that bra and panty store.
My boss's wife walked by, she spotted me and told me hi
And I knew then, I was in for it for sure.

Now all the boys down at the shop know and they sure do find it funny.
They say you've changed my ways and that you're spending all my money, honey.

Chorus:
If you're not in love,
If you're not in love,
If you're not in love,
Aw, if you're not in love,
Then I'm in a lot of trouble.

I got this lump in my throat, then I sold my boat
So I could buy this diamond ring for you.
Now I'm hopin' and I'm wishin' that since I can't go fishin',
You won't make me sell my golf clubs, too.

The boys down at the shop know and they laugh until I cry
I told 'em, if I mess this up, my momma's gonna tan my hide.

Chorus

I gave up that can of Snuff, no more NASCAR on TV.
Honey, if that ain't enough, this may be the death of me.

Chours (x2)

Ahh let's go honky tonkin'
Let's go honky tonkin'
Have a honky tonkin' good time with us
Ahh let's go honky tonkin'
Let's go honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin' round Texas


Well I'll put some diesel in the tank
Give that old Detroit a crank
We'll sit back and let that silver eagle fly
Well up and down that Lonestar State
Let's have a honky tonkin' tail gate
And don't forget to kiss your baby good bye


(Chorus)


Stick out a thumb and bum a ride
Hitch-hike across the country side
Come see why they call this place God's country
Well criss-cross in the Colorado
From Amarillo to Zapata
Every town along the way from A to Z


(Chorus)


Well my mom called me up
And she gave me my last warning
Said there'll be hell to pay
If I miss church this Sunday morning

We both work hard for money already spent
Blaming each other for where it all went
Never thinking of love only paying the loans
Griping bout' bills and keeping up with the Jones
Just once let's forget about making ends meet
Or whose got the nicest yard on the street
Darlin' let loose, let your hair down
We're staying at home for a night on the town

Chorus:
So turn the music up, and dim the lights down
Let those old records keep spinning around
Replace all our worries with some romance
Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance

When you're in my arms it makes me feel
Like I own a mansion on top of the hil
But it's not how big's the house it's how happy's the home
How poor is a rich man who lives all alone

Chorus:
So turn the music up, and dim the lights down
Let those old records keep spinning around
Replace all our worries with some romance
Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance

Solo

Chorus:
So turn the music up, and dim the lights down
Let those old records keep spinning around
Replace all our worries with some romance
Tell me you love me then we'll shut up and dance

i still think about us
in the rush that we felt
with the rag top down and the radio blasting
you were riding shot gun
in nothing but a bikini and a seat belt
looking better than the law should have been allowing

(chorus)
we hit the corners going 90
lovin' blindly fallin'
head over heels over you
every feeling that we felt
was a feeling that felt brand new
and you looked just like an angel
with that cross on your necklace
you were young, i was wild, we were reckless

we'd drive on down to the river
burnin' up those hot summer nights
laughin' at the cowboys getting crazy
pickin' fights
it wasn't funny
when that deputy, caught you and me
steaming up those windows
and how your daddy never found out about it
honey, heaven only knows

Chorus

I looked into your eyes and I
promised you forever
I believed it with all my heart
I just didn't know any better
gettin' over you took years
aww despite those tears I cried
I'd do it all over again
all for the thrill of the ride

Chorus

Young, wild, and reckless

I got a letter from your lawyer
And you got one from mine
They say It's gonna be final
Once we sign that dotted line

We'll I guess we'll get our freedom
And a so called fresh new start
But when you take half of everything
You'll be taking half my heart
Our love got lost somewhere in life's complications
Torn between two lawyers and all their legal litigations

Chorus:
Off the record, there's something I need to say to you
This ain't easy but it's what my heart has to do
Cause I can't let you go until I let you know
Off the record, I'm still in love with you

I took down our wedding picture
From above the fireplace
And I stood there awhile
Starring at your pretty face

Have we lost our love
To differences we can't resolve
But if push comes to shove
Thank God no children are involved
I can still see you throwing your rose bouquet
I never thought I'd see the day we'd throw it all away

Off the record, there's something I need to say to you
This ain't easy but it's what my heart has to do
Cause I can't let you go until I let you know
Off the record, I'm still in love with you

Bridge:
I've done all I can do now all I can do is pray
And ask the Lord to let me hear you say

Off the record, there's something I need to say to you
This ain't easy but it's what my heart has to do
Cause I can't let you go until I let you know
Off the record, I'm still in love with you
Girl, off the record, I'm still in love with you

(Duet w/ Willie Nelson)

He's wrinkled and gray but he's still got the fire
And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire
He'll pack 'em in just like he always did
Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid

He got his first guitar when he was fifteen
Thirstin' for knowledge, all hungry and green
Strummin' that six string just like Lefty did
Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid

(Chorus)
Well the Honky Tonk Kid loves a honky tonk crowd
He picks them up when this world gets them down
All the smoke and the neon keep his pain here
Nobody knows The Honky Tonk Kid

Ten million fans and a hand full of friends
He'll go home alone when each night ends
He'll think about her and he'll twist off the lid
Cause nobody loves The Honky Tonk Kid

Chorus (x2)

It won't be long the lord will take him away
He'd sung his last song, they'll place a reef on his grave
But he'll draw a crowd just like he always did
One last goodbye for The Honky Tonk Kid

Well I was thumbing through the channels
And I saw a sight to see
A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV
And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing
Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king
Ah - ha

From the Houston rodeo to any old dancehall
Of cowgirls and cowboys know how to have a ball
And every night they'll tip a toast to the Lone Star state
Where the women are so fine and the music is so great
Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger
I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer
Don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it

Aw yeah...

All together now....

It's a Texas thing, Y'all
So if you don't understand just drop what you're doing
Drive here as quick as you can
I'd even stop in Oklahoma if it was up to me
Cause when it comes to country, there ain't none like
I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger
I don't wanna see no wanna-be country western singer
Don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it

That hip-hoppin' rappin' boy band crap is for the squirrels in San Francisco
And Nashville is making music that sounds like a dadgum disco
Don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it
Yes, I said don't call it country unless you can prove it
I want something with a swing to it
That's right...
