So darlin' sit right down
Or jump in the air
Spin around in circles baby
I don't care
Someone's gotta start that line
It's our time

Start low
We'll end high
We'll roll around the fields
If it takes all night
There ain't no state
That makes it a crime baby
It's all right
'Cause it's our time
Yeah
It's our time

I know it's time
When things heat up
Or when they're movin' fast
'Cause everything
That was put up front
Is now put to the back

So darlin' sit right down
Or jump in the air
Spin around in circles baby
I don't care
Someone's gotta start that line
It's our time
Yeah, it's our time

Why wait for tomorrow
Let's start today
There'll be no more sorrows
'Cause we're already on our way
Hey it's our time

Down by the docks or along the bay
Maybe the rails in the night of day
I can't see anything but your face
It takes me to that special place

Hey hey what's your name
Hey hey what's your name
Life's way too short
I can't take anymore
Of this crazy love
This crazy love

I never could figure out
How things are planned
Sunsets fall and rise again
Where the oceans meet the sand

I look at you and I can't explain
Things move too fast for an average day
Can this be real or just someone's game
First can you tell me one thing

Hey hey what's your name
Hey hey what's your name
Life's way too short
I can't take anymore
Of this crazy love
This crazy love

Hold onto me
Let my eyes see
The truth of this game
They Call Love

Hey hey what's your name
Hey hey what's your name
Life's way too short
I can't take anymore
Of this crazy love
This crazy love

Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man
Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man

You got your rich man, you poor man
Your beggerman and a thief
Doctors, lawyers, and a merchant chief
How 'bout those day shifts, night shifts
Afternoons or a split
Or you can do what some do
Say what the hell with this

Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man
Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man
Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man
Yes, I'm a workin' man

Take time
To find
What you wanna be
Understand
My friends
We're all workin' men

Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man
Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man
Oh, oh, I'm a workin' man
Yes, I'm a workin' man
I do the best I can
'Cause I'm a workin' man

Run Away With Me
Sittin' in the misty moonlight
Watchin' the stars in the sky
Thinking about the things that were said
And all the reasons why
We were close to being something
What I thought was true love
Now you've gone and run away

Run away with me by your side
Don't leave me here alone
'Cause it will be alright
Hell let's just ride the stars tonight
Run away with me by your side

Everytime I hear the whisperin' wind
The gentle sound of the rain
It brings me back to that old oak tree
Where one heart now remains
Let's climb the highest mountain
Or walk the longest shore
Girl you want me coming back for more

Run away with me by your side
Don't leave me here alone
'Cause it will be alright
Hell let's just ride the stars tonight
Run away with me by your side

Here's To You
He trembles as he pours his misery
Fills the glass and swallows his pain
Another round of cheer for his company
All alone, but out of the rain
He fumbles as he runs his hands along
Tarnished brass that frames the old mirror
Wipes the dust near a crack in the corner
Sees a glimpse of a soul full of fear

Here's to you, the one who put me here
Here's to you, the one in control
Now that you've used up everything in me
You won the game, left me the pain
So here's to you

All he has in the world are his memories
Of a family that left long ago
In his hand he holds the reason
For the hurt that he's come to know

Here's to you, the one who put me here
Here's to you, the one in control
Now that you've used up everything in me
You won the game, left me the pain
So here's to you

Seems like yesterday, I heard her say it's over
Promised one more time, no more wine, I guess we showed her

Here's to you, the one who put me here
Here's to you, the one in control
Now that you've used up everything in me
You won the game, left me the pain
So here's to you

Lord, I'm doin' time, for our crime
So here's to you

Texas Heart
Back in the spring of '92
I brought my guitar and left you
From Providence to Butte and Cedar Falls
I played the shows and took the curtain calls

My Texas heart is broken
And it longs to go home
I travelled far across this land
And I've been so all alone
Now my plane is over Arkansas
My troubles in the past
And my Texas heart's still hopin' that your love
Will be the last

Chasin' fame
Is such a lonely thing
'Cause only
Strangers listen
When I sing
I remember
Times when this was fun
Like back in Austin,
When we both were young

My Texas heart is broken
And it longs to go home
I travelled far across this land
And I've been so all alone
Now my plane is over Arkansas
My troubles in the past
And my Texas heart's still hopin' that your love
Will be the last

Normandy
Shipping out,
The last time I held you
Tears from the port side
Steaming away
Your flowered dress faded
Into the hillside

But I made a promise
That we'd meet again
So just be strong
It won't be long
Please wait for me, Diane.

Travellin' without you girl
Half a world away
Fighting back into your arms
And tears of war each day
Mudstained letters ease the pain
Your picture close to me
Had a dream that I'd meet up with you
On the shores of Normandy

When we left England
The boats moved together
Covered in mist
A day I remember
I held your picture
Tight in my fist

When we saw the beach head
I knelt down and prayed
I must be strong
It won't be long
Please help me through this day
Travellin' without you girl
Half a world away
Fighting back into your arms
And tears of war each day
Mudstained letters ease the pain
Your picture close to me
Had a dream that I'd meet up with you
On the shores of Normandy

I made it to the shore
Before the bullets marked my place
Your picture fell beside me
And I touched your face

Travellin' without you girl
Half a world away
Fighting back into your arms
And tears of war each day
Mudstained letters ease the pain
Your picture close to me
Had a dream that I'd meet up with you
On the shores of Normandy

Dying here next to you
On the shores of Normandy

You Said Yes
I needed love
Like the sky needs the sun
A kind of love
That would never come undone

I wanted everything
That people live for day to day
Honesty and trust
That would never go away

I want to feel
The warmth of a kiss
And lovin' arms
That I've forever missed

All that I've been lookin' for
Is the woman that I see
You're the answer to my prayers
You're the only one for me

One can take
What I used to have
But one can't take
You away from me
You said yes
I vow to do my best
'Cause you said yes
To me

I close the blind
The lets the sunlight in
I realize
What a lucky man I am

I cross the floor
And forget about the hours in a day
And lay back down beside you
And let the time slip away

Our love
Will last 'till the end

One can take
What I used to have
But one can't take
You away from me
You said yes
I vow to do my best
'Cause you said yes
To me

Rocky Ridge
Headin' down this desert road
Going to a place I know
The Armadillo's runnin' for the shade

Texas heat is right on time
Draws me to a place that's mine
No one else knows where it is
At my rocky ridge

My rocky ridge is a destiny
Paradise made for me
I'm goin' there with a six string in my hand

The ridge lies beyond all hills
Past the cactus standing still
The sand turns a brighter shade of gold

At my rocky, my rocky ridge
Peaceful like the wind
My rocky ridge

At my rocky, my rocky ridge
Peaceful like the wind
My rocky ridge

As the sun goes slowly down
So does my world around
My paradise slowly fades away

Then a smile comes on my face
I watch the dawn before me break
It's goin' to be there another day

It's all it ever is
At my rocky ridge
That's all it ever is
At my rocky ridge

It's all it ever is
At my rocky ridge

Long Train Ride
This fear
Buildin' up inside me
She pleads, but I just don't hear
I know that it's me and I'm hurting them so

Freedom
Calls me like a siren
Pack up and I head for the rails
There's a 10:35 and I'm ready to go
There ain't nothin' to hold me

I thought that this love was forever
I thought that this love was for real
I'm runnin' away, but there's no place to hide
All alone on a long train ride

Sun rise
Coffee in my left hand
No sleep, I've been talkin' to an old man
Told me he ran out on his own late one fall, he said

'Look boy
'Something that I got to say
'You never win when you're runnin' away
'Don't make my mistake, go and give her a call
'Turn around and you stand tall

'I know that your love is forever
'I know that you love her for sure
'I heard every word that your heart could not hide
'Last night on this long train ride
'I know that your love is forever
'I know that you love her for sure
'There's two things you need to get back to her side
'A second chance and a long train ride

I know that this love is forever
I know that this love is for sure
There's two things I need to get back to her side
A second chance and a long train ride

She's Everything
I got a call from Knoxville, Tennessee
I heard her say hello and I could hardly breathe
She said she might be passing through and do I have some time
I didn't say it out loud, but I thought "How about the rest of my life"

She's the sun and moonlight
She's fire and rain
She holds all the answers
To life's joy and pain
I don't know if she even knows it, but she's everything
She's everything

On the day I left that girl and headed home
Every northbound mile seemed like the wrong way to go
I never had a feeling so sure and strong
Something in her eyes, something deep inside tells me she's the one

She's the sun and moonlight
She's fire and rain
She holds all the answers
To life's joy and pain
I don't know if she even knows it, but she's everything
She's everything

She's everything
Nothing ever felt so right
Everything, I just wanna give her my everything

She's the sun and moonlight
She's fire and rain
She holds all the answers
To life's joy and pain
I don't know if she even knows it, but she's everything
She's everything

Love To Burn
Rev'd up and ready
To get hot and heavy
Me and Johnny trying our luck
Chasing down girls in a pick-up truck
Didn't know nothing, we couldn't care less
Bragging about girls we never met
A lot to prove and a lot to learn
A full tank of gas and love to burn

Drove out to the drive-in
I saw you and your girlfriend
She liked Johnny, and he liked her
They were gone and there we were
I said "do you need a ride"
You smiled and climbed inside
We passed your street but we didn't turn
We had a full tank of gas and love to burn

Love to burn on a country road
Who knows where that road will go
When you're seventeen years old
Feels like forever, but you'll never know

Rev'd up and ready
To get hot and heavy
We'll drop the kids with your folks and then
We'll be alone for the whole weekend
Can you believe ten years ago
We started down this same old road
Still getting closer with every turn
We got a full tank of gas and love to burn

We've come so far
We got a full tank of gas
And love to burn

Just You And Me
Spend another night
With you all alone
On the porch swing
Outside our little home
Raindrops falling on the knotty pine
Soft and gentle
As your hand slips into mine
And it occurred to me
How I've always dreamed
Life could turn out so perfectly
But I never knew that it could come true
Until you

Just you and me
That's all I need
Together all night
Holdin' each other tight, baby
Just you and me
Living our love
Endlessly
So tenderly
Just you and me

This crazy mile a minute world
So mixed up
The things that matter most
Don't seem to count for much
But all the riches in the world couldn't buy
One touch, one kiss, one look in your eyes
So I sit here with you
The answer to
All I've ever prayed for in this life
And thank God again
For my love and my friend
My wife

Stuck In The Middle With You
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, and I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

And you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm struck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Mexico
Sweet memory
Can I hitch a ride with you
To a slow dance on white sands
By a sea of crystal blue
She keeps swaying
Through my mind
Like she's saying
Come and dance with me just one more time

Tijuana's calling but I got no pesos
Carmelita's waiting there I know
Tijuana's calling I don't know how but somehow I must go
I'd walk all the way
To Mexico

Mi amigos
Dos tequila por for vor
Oh pardon me what I really mean
Is could you pour me two shots more
I can almost hear
The mariachi sing
Lord I'm almost there
Cause I'm flying on these golden wings

All I Want To Say
It's time once again
To send a card to say how much I love you
Every day is a special day
And every moment you are on my mind
One day a year
It just ain't enough
To show how much I care
I'll try again
But in the end

I could carve I love you on a mountain-side
Fly a banner that would fill the Montana sky
Every card placed end to end
Could reach the stars and back again
It still wouldn't say
All I wanna say

A phone call away
Any time or any day
Just to listen
When things are getting rough
Your calm and gentle voice
Would set me free
Cause one day a year
It just ain't enough
To show how much I care
I'll try again
But in the end

Love Struck
Not tonight, I hate to hear those words
But one look at those soft blue eyes and a little sigh
And man it's all about her
What she wants to do, where she wants to go
Whatever she tells me
I'm all wrapped up in her pretty blonde hair and her long legs
On a short leash

I'm lovestruck
Got the deer in the headlight look
Lovestruck
I'm going down, I give up
I'm lovestruck
Like an axle deep pickup truck
I'm stuck
Baby I'm lovestruck

She gets mad so I get mad
So she gets sad and I can't take that
Trembling chin and the little pout
And one crocodile tear trickles out
I'm right as rain, she's as wrong as sin
And she plays me like a violin
I wrap my arms around her shoulders
I'm a lawn chair and the picnic's over.

Baby, I'm lovestruck
Got the deer in the headlight look
Lovestruck
I'm going down, I give up
I'm lovestruck
Like an axle deep pickup truck
I'm stuck
Baby I'm lovestruck

Lovestruck
Lovestruck
Lovestruck

Baby, I'm lovestruck
Got the deer in the headlight look
Lovestruck
I'm going down, I give up
I'm lovestruck
Like an axle deep pickup truck
I'm stuck
Baby I'm lovestruck

True Love
He comes home late every night
with no regrets
she lies awake all night long
just scared to death
he crawls in right by her side
and falls fast asleep
she just lies there so still
tears rollin' down her cheek

in her mind she knows she can't go on
in her heart she knows its been too long

True love
is two people sharing one life
true love
is holding each other at night
true love
is making love not just making do
all she's ever dreamed of
is true love

She sits at home all alone
talking with herself
thinking what if or if he's
with someone else
she's cried her heart inside and out
why can't he see
this isn't life at all
like she thought it would be

wandering these halls, dying inside
wondering where love went wrong
has it ever been right

Can-Am Border
Twenty five miles from the Can Am Border
Let's get our story straight
You wanna turn around, you better tell me now
'Cause once we hit the States
It's too late
Nineteen miles from the Can Am Border

Girl don't check your make-up now
You can turn that rearview back around
Custom man don't care no how
But he's sure gonna want some answers
Fourteen miles from the Can Am Border
Let's get our story straight
Eight miles back from the Can Am Border

Better lose the shades, I'm gonna lose the hat
The man in the stand got a thing about that
Last chance to rehearse the facts
'Cause if they split us up
We're gonna have to match
Ten cars back from the Can Am Border
Let's get our story straight
Three cars back from the Can Am Border
Two cars back from the Can Am Border
One car back from the Can Am Border

Get your feet off the dash
Come on sit up
Get that grin off your face

Farmer's Life
I remember, just a boy, my daddy said to me
Son, it won't be long 'till you have a family
You know it don't come easy when you gotta grow your own,
grow your own
Early morning through the night
You plough that old hard ground
Just you and the stars, there's no one else around
Sometimes you feel like crying
But you got to carry on, you got to carry on

You ride the Deere that works the land
You get those crazy farmer tans
That's just who we are, that's who we are
We work so hard to get it right
Then Mother Nature throws a strike, well
That's a farmer's life

It's been a year since Daddy died
And nothing's been the same
These fields are looking dry, Lord I need some rain
I know He's up there watching, watching over me, over me
The bank's been knocking at my door
Threatening to sell
The farm is hanging on
How long, I just can't tell
Sometimes I feel like crying, but I got to carry on
I've got to carry on
