A night to remember
--------------------------------
Been one tough week, dead on my feet But, I've got plans for tonight When I'm feeling blue, know just what to do And how to make it right Seems like I've needed this forever Gonna have myself a night to remember Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures On the floor, throw the dust off of our past let it All come floodin' back, cause' it ain't easy being Strong and when I can't forget your gone I just Surrender, and have myself a night to remember.
Sad ain't my style but once in a while I just have to give in 'Cause a woman like you, is so hard to lose You just don't want it to end I know this can't go on forever So tonight I'll have a night to remember Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures On the floor, throw the dust off of our past let it All come floodin' back, cause' it ain't easy being Strong and when I can't forget your gone I just Surrender, and have myself a night to remember.
Oh it ain't easy being strong and when I can't Forget your gone I'll just surrender and have Myself a night to remember
Texas size heartache
---------------------------------
Little Miss Dynamite, just blew my world away, It was a pitiful sight, me beggin' her to stay, I never had a hunch, so how was I to know, She packed a punch, that knocked my heart out cold, She put a hurt on this old cowboy, broke my heart like a little play toy, Brought me to my knees from ten feet tall, The night she left me in Amarillo, I cried crocodile tears in my pillow, The bigger they are, the harder they fall, How could a blue-eyed beauty only five foot three, Lay a Texas size heartache, on me
She came across so cool, I didn't think that I'd get burned, Now I'm a big ole' fool, with a leavin' lesson learned, Thought I was strong, like ole' Hercules, She proved me wrong, with her little "Ce La Vie", She put a hurt on this old cowboy, broke my heart like a little play toy, Brought me to my knees from ten feet tall, The night she left me in Amarillo, I cried crocodile tears in my pillow, The bigger they are, the harder they fall, How could a blue-eyed beauty only five foot three, Lay a Texas size heartache, on me
How could a blue-eyed beauty only five foot three, Lay a Texas size heartache, on me
Third Rock From The Sun
---------------------------------------
She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time Like a broken field runner slippin' through the line He likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says "Don't wait up for me I'll be workin' late tonight" Wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears Calls her sister up and cries "Get over here" Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile He leaves the motor running he'll only be a minute His car drives away with teenagers in it The driver tells his buddies, got one life to live They scream into the night "Let's get it over with" 'Cause and effect, chain of events All of the chaos makes perfect sense When you're spinning round, things come undone Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
The kid guns the gas, the car starts to swerve Heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb Truck hits a Big Boy in the Shoney's parking lot And flies through the air takes out the bank clock Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks Lines go down, town goes dark Waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall Cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the streets "We hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief" Mayor says "Use your head if he ain't in his car He's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's Bar" 'Cause and effect, chain of events All of the chaos makes perfect sense When you're spinning round, things come undone Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun 'Cause and effect, chain of events All of the chaos makes perfect sense When you're spinning round, things come undone Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
So Help Me Girl
---------------------------
You could have kissed me like this wasn't gonna last Kept me from sayin' something I'll never take back You could have held me like there was no chance Of me waking up where I am You could have stopped short of every dream I've ever had So help me girl, you've gone too far It's way too late to save my heart The way it feels each time we touch I know I've never been so loved And I can't help myself, so help me girl
You had to be there when that old sun came up Makin' last night feel like a vision of things yet to come You just had to hold me like nobody else Now look what you've gone and done You had to love me till I just can't get enough So help me girl, you've gone too far It's way too late to save my heart The way it feels each time we touch I know I've never been so loved And I can't help myself, so help me girl So help me girl, you've gone too far It's way too late to save my heart The way it feels each time we touch I know I've never been so loved And I can't help myself, so help me girl
Ships that don't come in
-------------------------------------
I could tell he'd had a tough life By the way he sat and stared And me, I'd come to push and shove So I pulled up a chair. We talked of roads untraveled We talked of love untrue Of strings that come unraveled We were kings and kindred fools And just when I'd hit bottom That old man raised his glass And said at least we had our chances There's those who never have. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in.
He said it's only life's illusions That bring us to this bar To pick up these old crutches And compare each other's scars 'Cuz the things we're calling heartache Hell, they're hardly worth our time We bitch about a dollar When there's those without a dime. And as he ordered one last round He said I guess we can't complain God made life a gamble And we're still in the game. So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in.
Pickup Man
----------------------
Well I got my first truck, when I was three, Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees Hauled marbles and rocks, and thought twice before I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door When she paid me with a kiss I began to understand, There's just something women like about a PickUp Man When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks My first car was a Pickup Truck Started cruisin' the town and the first girl I seen Was Bobbie Jo Gentry the homecoming queen She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab, and said "I never knew you were a Pickup Man!" You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams, You know there's something women like about a Pickup Man Most Friday nights, I can be found In the back of my truck on an old chaise lounge Backed into my spot at the drive-in show You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand, There's just something women like about a pickup Man
You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams, You know there's something women like about a Pickup Man A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine Once around the block and you'll know what I mean You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe DeVille It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates I met all my wives in traffic jams, You know there's something women like about a Pickup Man
