(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

(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

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

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

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)

I Am Flat Dead On My Feet
I Have Had Nothing To Eat
I Am Sick Of Highways And Cold Hotels Rooms
I Have Replay There In Our Soft Bed
I Am So Tired Of Missing You

So Let's Turn Out The Lights
(Let's Turn Out The Lights)
And Lay Here By My Side
(Lay Here By My Side)
Give Me The Lose That I Need
Baby Let's Love Some Sleep Tonight

All These Shows That I Play
Take Me So Far Away
I Know That I Have Negleated Your Needs
You Have Been Tested And Trialed
Stuck Firm By My Side
Waiting Patiently For The Man Of Your Needs

So Let's Turn Out The Lights
(Let's Turn Out The Lights)
And Lay Here By My Side
(Lay Here By My Side)
Give Me The Love That I Need
Baby Let's Lose Some Sleep Tonight

(Instrumental)

Sweetheart One Night Together
Is Not Nearly Enough
We Need The Rest Of Forever Making Up For Lost Love

So Let's Turn Out The Lights
(Let's Turn Out The Lights)
Lay Here By My Side
(Lay Here By My Side)
Give You The Love That You Need
Let's Lose Some Sleep Tonight
The Love That I Need
Baby Let's Lose Some Sleep Tonight

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

Well once upon a time
When I held you in my arms
On a blanket in the grass
Where we'd watch the falling stars
Under that old maple tree
We'd share secrets in the dark
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park


(Chorus)

And we lived, laughed, and loved as if
There were no tomorrow
Up until the day you went away
Leaving only sorrow


Now the stars don't shine
The way they used to do
Like they did when you were mine
Perhaps they're lonely too
You can barely read the names
That I carved inside a heart
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park

(Chorus)

Sometimes I think of you
And I just have to smile
Though forever never was
At least we had a little while
How time flies when you're young
Just like the flicker of a spark
Now I sit here all alone
Watching children play
In Mackenzie Park

I've got this Caribbean queen
Rubbin' in my coconut sunscreen
You'd think you'd be the last thing on my mind
I've got a beautiful ocean view
Ten thousand miles from you
So Why couldn't I leave this broken heart behind


(Chorus)

Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep tellin' myself
I'm havin' the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise


Well I keep on tellin' me
There's other fish in the sea
But your memory keeps reminding me I'm wrong
There's a party 'bout every night
And I should be out doin' it up right
Instead of watchin' re-runs of Gilligan's Island all alone (all night long)


(Chorus)

Oh the moonlight is dancin' on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep tellin' myself
I'm havin' the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise


This time next week I'll be headed to Texas On a big jet airplane
Oh when I get home you know this broken heart is gonna hit
me like a hurricane


(Chorus)

Oh The sunshine is dancin' on the water
Pretty girls couldn't get any hotter
If I keep tellin' myself
I'm havin' the time of my life
Maybe it'll come true and I won't miss you
Welcome to a fool's paradise

Well my truck's wound up and it's ready to roll
I got a good buddy workin' for the Highway Patrol
So if I get a ticket or two, It's gonna be alright
But the sheriff and his boys they're in Estilline
Unless they're out to lunch at the Dairy Queen
They'll be itchin' to turn on those red, white, and blue
lights

Well just like my daddy I was born a drifter
I got a rebel heart and eight - ball shifter
Horns on the hood and forty channel CB

Well some things you never leave home without
Like your Bible, log book, and your drivin' route
And your Best Of Dale Watson on CD


Chorus:

Cause I'm a diesel drivin' daddy
Don't you get in my lane
Puttin' the pedal to the medal
Bringin' eighteen wheels of pain
I've been in love
Broke some hearts
Settled down long enough to replace the parts
Kicked a little
Asphalt along the way


There's a lonely life livin' on the road
When the only friend you've got is the radio
And even he fades in and out every now and then
But maybe someday you'll find the right one
That'll shift the gears and let ya ride shotgun
Knows how to get that big ole rig to spin


Chorus

I'm a panhandlin' manhandlin'
Post holin' high rollin' dust bowlin' daddy
I ain't got no blood in my veins
I just got them four lanes
Of hard Amarillo highway

Chorus

Up and down that honky tonkin' highway

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)

i just called to say good bye
but i was hopin' that you would beg me not to go
you where my only reason for stayin'
besides the amirillo winters are to cold to speand alone

(chours)
so what its worth
i'll be in fort worth
just in case you ever start missin' me
im gonna be right here in fort worth
so for what its worth thats where i'm gonna be

before the pain i put you through
those late night calls from those random county jails
i know i swore never to bother you again
but if you dont mind could you find the time to forward me my mail

(chours)

if you need a friend; a friendly conversation
you got my number and an open invitation

(chours)

Will you love me in a trailer
Til I can get up on my feet
If it's August in Arizona
Could your heart stand the heat

I could never be an actor
Trying to be what I can't be
If I'm just a farm boy on a tractor
Could you love me just for me

And I can't offer you the stars above
Just next to nothing except my love
Of every day that I have to live
My everything?s all I've got to give

Well old man Pete lives down the street
With his wife of sixty years
He said the hard times were bittersweet
And all they owned was a catalog from Sears

Mrs. Dorothy is his darlin?
She'd stand by him win or lose
She says now that they have money
Her only weakness is spending it on shoes

And I can't offer you the stars above
Just next to nothing except my love
Of every day that I have to live
My everything?s all I've got to give
