Let's take a rest
Your kisses take my breath
You are the best
It's never been like this
Chorus:
She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She'll tell you she'll never leave
She used to say that to me
It thrills you so
When she whispers soft and low
“Please hold me tight
I need your love tonight”
Repeat Chorus
“I'm yours,” she sighs
And she means it at the time
But someday she'll go
If you're wonderin' how I know
She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She'll tell you she'll never leave
She used to say that
She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She'll tell you she'll never leave
She used to say that to me

Thought I'd go crazy when you said goodbye
I didn't have that far to go
But I made a wrong turn somewhere in the night
Down a long and lonely road
Chorus:
To Honkytonkville, an ideal
Home away from home sweet home
Honkytonkville where I don't feel
A thing since you've been gone
Where the future's always bright
In the glow of neon lights
Livin' high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville
There's friendly faces everywhere I turn
Droppin' quarters in the slot
Lord knows that we've all got memories to burn
And that's why that jukebox plays around the clock
Repeat Chorus
. . .

(Dale Dodson/Billy Lawson)
Those city lights drew you like a magnet
You were attracted to his high-falootin' crowd
I begged you not to go, but you still packed up
I've been expectin' you
Oh, look who's back from town
My old truck could not compare to his Mercedes
Did it humble you when you rode back on that Greyhound
You picked a plastic rose and left a field of daisies
I've been expectin' you
Oh, look who's back from town
Chorus:
What brings you back to this part of the country
Well let me guess, ol' loverboy let you down
Did he throw you away like his money
I've been expectin' you
Oh, look who's back from town
Repeat Chorus
I've been expectin' you

(Anthony Smith/Bob DiPiero)
I take off time to time
With those crazy friends of mine
Head out on steel horses
With wheels and we ride
We burn up that road to old Mexico
Blend in with the desert
Just we amigos
And we roll
Chorus:
Cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racin' the wind, chasin' the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we're just outlaws out on the run
There'll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us
We talk about livin', babies, and women
All that we've lost and all we've been givin'
We sing about true love, lie about things we ain't done
Drink one more cold one, come mornin' get up
And we roll
Repeat Chorus twice
. . .

(Red Lane)
Love is so beautiful
When everything is fine
But when it is like hers and mine
It lives and dies at least
Ten Thousand
Times
Chorus:
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
How those old oil wells
Smell in the wind
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
So I won't have to go back
Believing I belong there
Again
Eyes as blue as Tulsa skis
I kept getting lost in when I met her
Hair like Oklahoma sand
I could run my hands through forever
But all good things must end
All rivers have to bend
I keep runnin' out
But she keeps pullin' me back in
REPEAT CHORUS:
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
So I won't have to go back
Believing I belong there
. . .

(Tony Colton/Russell Smith)
Lately I've found myself fallin'
Deeper in love with you
I'm not the kind of guy
Who gets swept away
So here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna give you this heart of mine
But that's where I draw the line
Chorus:
I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes
I know it may not sound like much
But baby, make no mistake
I'm gonna treat you with more tenderness
Than any one woman can take
I'm gonna make all your dreams come true
But after that, baby, I'm through
Repeat Chorus
You've got your limits, I've got mine
I'm only gonna go the distance
Time after time
Repeat Chorus
. . .

(Greg Hudik/Earl Clark)
There once was a time when I was dead inside
I cussed the Lord for the day I was born
And prayed to the Devil to die
Just when I thought the Devil had won
Someone opened up the door
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Chorus:
Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now I'm free
Today I'm right where Mama
Prayed I'd be
I'm down on my knees
Now I believe
What Mama knew for sure
He's King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Now, if you're in trouble friend, let me tell you what to do
I'll tell you what he's done for me
And I know what he'll do for you
It makes no difference what you've done
You've a friend in the One that I adore
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor
Repeat Chorus
He's King of kings
Lord of lords

(Bruce Robison/Monte Warden)
Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
You're lyin' next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize it's just a dream, but
Chorus:
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everything's ok, but
Chorus
And now I
Know there's no reason to smile
It's gonna take me awhile
'Cause I still love you desperately
Chorus
And now I
Watch the sun goin' down
There ain't nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin' myself
I don't need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but
And now I
Chorus
And now
Every night it's the same
I hear you callin' my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
. . .

(Dean Dillon/Ken Mellons/John Northrup)
Well, I got a bumper sticker
On the back of my truck
There ain't another like it
‘Cause I had it made up
I can tell who's behind me
They give themselves away
Lay on their horn when they read this phrase
Chorus:
Honk if you honky tonk
Don't if you don't
But, if you do
Don't you love to
Honk if you honky tonk
Me and Friday night go hand in hand
Ice cold beer and a swingin' band
A girl on my arm that won't let go
She caught my little sign about a mile ago
Repeat Chorus
Well, just the other day I was cruisin' through town
Sheriff pulled me over, I thought I had it now
I rolled down my window, he said with a grin
“I want one of them stickers or I'm gonna run you in.”
Repeat Chorus twice
Honk if you honky tonk
I hear ya honkin', yeah
I'm pullin' over,
. . .

(Doug Powell/Jerome Earnest)
You came into my life like an answer to a prayer
Like a star that falls from the sky right out of thin air
Some might say it's a miracle or a dream come true
But from that day I always knew
Chorus:
Heaven is missing an angel
That's the only thing that it can be
Heaven is missing an angel
‘Cause you're right here with me
No one else in the world has touched me like you do
It's super natural, girl, the way I feel when I'm with you
I'm in paradise whenever you're around
Then when I look in your eyes there's no doubt
Repeat Chorus
I'm in paradise whenever you're around
Then when I look in your eyes there's no doubt
Repeat Chorus
Right here with me

I don't know what to think of it
Sometimes I hate it
Sometimes I love it
Girl, this relationship we're in
To say the least it's puzzlin'
Like a crossword puzzle
Fill in the blanks
Chorus:
What's four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost That's me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh I get it, that's you
Never believed in horoscopes
But to the left of the ad
For a new dishwashin' soap
Dear Abby's got some good advice
For a troubled couple lost in paradise
In the Living section
Page two
What's four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost
That's me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh, I get it
That's you, that's me, that's us
Sometimes love ain't enough
We try and try
For the life of me, why did we give up
Chorus
That's me
Oh, that's us
. . .

(Billy Yates/Byron Hill/Annette Grossberg)
When you see a shooting star in the night
When you hear the warm wind whisper through the pines
I want you to know
Chorus:
It'll be me and my infinite love for you
It's just like I promised you under heaven above
It will live on long after we kiss goodbye
Forever by your side
My infinite love
When you think someone is callin' out your name
When you feel that kind of feelin' you can't explain
Now you will know
Repeat Chorus
I want you to know
Repeat Chorus
My infinite love
