Somewhere Down In Texas - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: Somewhere Down In Texas
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Charlie Black, Tim Ryan Rouillier, Dana Hunt Black

Lyric:
I been on the road now
Dang near all my life
I do love to sing a song
I can say I've worked hard

Put in my time
Now it's time to go home
And catch up on my chores
Watch the sunset from my porch

I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me
Drinkin' in that great wide open
Soakin' up the summer breeze

Kickin' back and settled in with my family
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me

That's where I got started
Where I was born and bred
It's a fire inside of me
I couldn't have imagined

This Texas highway led
Far beyond my wildest dreams
But I'll turn out the lights tonight
And say goodnight, but not goodbye

I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me
Drinkin' in that great wide open
Soakin' up the summer breeze

Kickin' back and settled in with my family
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me

I've made so many friends
Hope we meet someday again
Till then

I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me
Drinkin' in that great wide open
Soakin' up the summer breeze

Kickin' back and settled in with my family
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me

Texas - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: Texas
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Steven Dale Jones, Phillip White

Lyric:
There wouldn't be no Alamo
No Cowboys in the Superbowl
No 'Lonesome Dove', no 'Yellow Rose'
If it wasn't for Texas

I wouldn't be a Willie fan
Nobody'd swim the Rio Grande
I wouldn't be an American
If it wasn't for Texas

Fort Worth would never cross my mind
And there'd be no Austin City limits sign
No Lonestar of any kind
If it wasn't for Texas

I'd never've gone to Tennessee
To sing my songs and chase my dreams
Only Heaven knows just where I'd be
If it wasn't for Texas

Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There'd be no Austin City limits sign
And no Lonestar of any kind
If it wasn't for Texas

It made me the man I am
Thank God for my old stompin' ground
I wouldn't be standin' right here, right now
If it wasn't for Texas

If it wasn't for Texas
If it wasn't for Texas

The Seashores Of Old Mexico - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: The Seashores Of Old Mexico
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Merle Haggard

Lyric:
I left out of Tucson, with no destination in mind
I was runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind
And the border meant freedom, a new life, romance
And that's why I thought I should go
And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico

My first night in Juarez, lost all the money I had
One bad senorita made use of one innocent lad
But I must keep on runnin', it's too late to turn back
I'm wanted in Tucson, I'm told
Yeah, an' things'll blow over on the seashores of old Mexico

Two Mexican farmers en route to a town I can't say
Let me ride on the back of a flatbed, half-loaded with hay
Down through Durango, Colima, Almiera
Then in the Manzanillos
Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of old Mexico

After one long siesta, I came wide awake in the night
I was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight
My new-found companion, one young senorita
Who offered a broken hello
To the gringo, she found on the seashores of old Mexico

She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return
For her Mexican husband, she really had no great concern
'Cause she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo
That's all I needed to know
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico

Yeah, she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo
That's all I needed to know, ha, ha
Yeah, I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico

Somewhere In The Sun - Lyrics - Be As You Are - Kenny Chesney

Title: Somewhere In The Sun
Album: Be As You Are
Artist: Kenny Chesney
Composer(s): Danny Tucker, Kenneth A. Chesney, Tim Holt, Daryl Hobdy

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Stuck here at a Holiday Inn near Austin, Texas
Seen all the road that I want to see
God I hate the snow, they even cancelled the show
Makes me long for where I really want to be

Oh I wish I was there tonight on Jost Van Dyke
Sipping on some Foxy's Firewater rum
Or kickin' back with Ivan
With all my friends down in the islands
Wouldn't take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun

Got cold fajitas and only one channel on the TV
Andy and Barney on Nick At Nite
Seen an ad' for Mexico, God I really want to go
Anywhere out of mind and out of sight

Oh I wish I was there tonight on Jost Van Dyke
Sipping on some Foxy's Firewater rum
Or kickin' back with Ivan
With all my friends down in the islands
Wouldn't take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun

Here's a toast to you on the coast and the sailors out at sea
Drink your ales, hoist your sails
Ride the winds and think of me

'Cause I wish I was there tonight on Jost Van Dyke
Sipping on some Foxy's Firewater rum
Or kickin' back with Ivan
With all my friends down in the islands
Wouldn't take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun

Somewhere in the sun

Title: Oh, What A Perfect Day
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Monty Holmes, Buddy Brock, Jeff Silvey

Lyric:
I woke up this mornin', peaked out my door
It was rainin', cold and grey
It's my one day off, I was gonna play golf
There goes the plans that I made
Oh, but you won't hear me complain

And oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you
When you're in my arms, I've got sunshine
And the sky's always blue
Couldn't ask for better weather to do what I do
Oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you

So let's grab a blanket, a hot cup of coffee
And sit out on the front porch and swing
That look in your eyes is what's on my mind
We don't have to say anything
Let's just listen to that old tin roof sing

And oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you
When you're in my arms, I've got sunshine
And the sky's always blue
Couldn't ask for better weather to do what I do
Oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you

Oh, what a perfect day for lovin' you, lovin' you

If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Bryan Simpson, Ashley Glenn Gorley, Wade Allen Kirby

Lyric:
If the whole world was a honky tonk
And it revolved around an old jukebox
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar
Over cryin' steel guitars and soon, they'd all be gone

Yeah, if you asked me what I thought
I'd say, "We'd be better off
If the whole world was a honky tonk"

You could smoke that cigarette
An' be politically incorrect
Show off that red 'round your neck
Not hear a single soul object

Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide
Who is wrong and who is right
No need for big expensive trials
An' brother, we'd just step outside

If the whole world was a honky tonk
And it revolved around an old jukebox
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar
Over cryin' steel guitars and soon, they'd all be gone

Yeah, if you asked me what I thought
I'd say, "We'd be better off
If the whole world was a honky tonk"

Wouldn't have to pay no tax
Just set a tip jar in the back
If we ran low, we'd pass the hat
I bet, we'd all be in the black
If the whole world was a honky tonk

And if you're lookin' for love
Someone to heal that broken heart
Hey buddy, you'd be in half
You wouldn't have to go that far

If the whole world was a honky tonk
And it revolved around an old jukebox
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar
Over cryin' steel guitars and soon, they'd all be gone

If you asked me what I thought
I'd say, "We'd be better off
If the whole world was a honky tonk"

Life would be a three chord song
And the king would be George Jones
If the whole world was a honky tonk

High Tone Woman - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: High Tone Woman
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Leslie Satcher, Tim Ryan Rouillier

Lyric:
I been watchin' you watchin' her watchin' herself in the mirror
In her tailor-made dress an' her long blonde hair
An' her big diamond rings her custom-made shoes
And I can tell by the look on your face that you're makin' your move
But she hasn't got time for a man who's tongue-tied
An' she doesn't like cowboys an' thinks less of fools

So, boy, don't you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman
She'll cut up your heart like an' old credit card
When the fun and the money runs out
I've never seen an uptown, well-read thorough bred
High-tone woman sink as low as you

Hey, I'm on your side, don't go gettin' me wrong, now
You're not a bad fellow at all
But you're out of her league so stay in the bleachers
Son, you couldn't please her, if you had it all

So, boy, don't you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman
She'll cut up your heart like an' old credit card
When the fun and the money runs out

You're a fool if you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman
I've seen her cut up a heart like an' old credit card
When the fun and the money runs out
I've never seen an uptown, well-read thoroughbred
High-tone woman sink as low as you

Oh no, I've never seen an uptown, well-read thorough bred
High-tone woman sink as low as you

Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Lee Ann Womack, Dean Dillon, Dale Dodson

Lyric:
Well, I've got some good news, can't wait to tell you
I realized I missed you, since we've been apart
I just needed time to make up my mind
But I'm in love with you with all my heart

And I've got some good news

I got some bad news, I don't know how to break to you
I found someone new since we been apart
I had too much time and he took you off my mind
And I'm in love with him with all of my heart

I got some bad news

And I guess all is fair in love and war
Someone wins but someone wins more
You never know what time will do
All I know is I've got some good news

I've got some bad news

She Let Herself Go - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: She Let Herself Go
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Dean Dillon, Kerry Kurt Phillips

Lyric:
He wondered how she'd take it when he said goodbye
Thought she might do some cryin', lose some sleep at night
But he had no idea when he hit the road
That without him in her life she'd let herself go

Let herself go on a single's cruise to Vegas once, then to Honolulu
Let herself go to New York City
A week at the spa, came back knocked out pretty
When he said he didn't love her no more, she let herself go

She poured her heart and soul into their three bedroom ranch
Spent her days raisin' babies, ironin' his pants
Came home one day from the grocery store and found his note
And without him there to stop her she let herself go

Let herself go on her first blind date
Had the time of her life with some friends at the lake
Let herself go buy a brand new car
Drove down to the beach he always said was too far
Sand sure felt good between her toes

She let herself go on a singles cruise to Vegas once, then to Honolulu
Let herself go to New York City
A week at the spa came back knocked out pretty
When he said he didn't love her no more, she let herself go

To Vegas once, Honolulu, New York City
Came back knocked out pretty

Ready For The End Of The World - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: Ready For The End Of The World
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Tony Martin, Clint Allen Daniels

Lyric:
I know the end is near
I've seen the warning signs
Been preparin' myself
Layin' in supplies

I bought a case of Jack
A boxed-set of Merle
I'm gettin' ready
Ready for the end of the world

I'm gettin' ready for the end to come
That final hour, it all comes undone

An' she drops the bomb
An' says she ain't my girl
I'm gettin' ready
Ready for the end of the world

My neon shelter waits
Where I can go to hide
While the memories burn
I'll be safe inside

With the honky-tonk few
Bracin' for the worst
I'm gettin' ready
Ready for the end of the world

I'm gettin' ready for the end to come
That final hour, it all comes undone

An' she drops the bomb
An' says she ain't my girl
I'm gettin' ready
Ready for the end of the world

Yeah, I'll be ready
Ready for the end of the world

By The Light Of A Burning Bridge - Lyrics - Somewhere Down in Texas - George Strait

Title: By The Light Of A Burning Bridge
Album: Somewhere Down in Texas
Artist: George Strait
Composer(s): Michael White, Walt Aldridge

Lyric:
Oh, I've been stumblin' through the darkness
Tryin' to feel the ground beneath my feet
Afraid of movin' much in any direction
Stuck where the past and the future meet

But I finally got my first good look
A little fire was all it too
An' as the flames grew brighter
I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up
You light a match an' your eyes adjust
It's amazing what a man can see
By the light of a burnin' bridge

An' there were things I saw that I'm not proud of
Things that I'd do different now from then
But when I really make myself get honest
It's over and I can't go back again

'Cause I finally got my first good look
A little fire was all it took
An' as the flames grew brighter
I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up
You light a match an' your eyes adjust
It's amazing what a man can see
By the light of a burnin' bridge

It sure is hard to let go
And to leave the past behind
But there ain't no other way
That you can find some peace of mind

When I finally got my first good look
A little fire was all it took
An' as the flames grew brighter
I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up
You light a match an' your eyes adjust
It's amazing what a man can see
By the light of a burnin' bridge
It's amazing what a man can see
By the light of a burnin' bridge

Homicide - Lyrics - G.O.A.T. - Ll Cool J

Title: Homicide
Album: G.O.A.T.
Artist: Ll Cool J
Composer(s): Carlos Guedes, George Spivey, James Todd Smith

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
This for my man yo, word up
"I got a 187 on the corner of Farmers boulevard in Linden"
"Uh, drug related?"
"The usual"

I don't mean this in a disrespectful way
But Columbine happens in the ghetto every day
When the shit goes down y'all ain't got nothin' to say

He kicked the old lady's door in, threw her on the floor
Choked her to death so she don't scream no more
He need some white chocolate, he feel it in his bones
He heard she refinanced and got a bank loan

He used to mow the lawn, take the garbage out
Now she in the closet wit a sock in her mouth
Copped a chain, copped some crills
Crack pipe in his windpipe, twistin' like a drill

Run around frontin', buyin' his mens kicks
Gassed a broad up so she can help her rent a whip
The other killer peeped him out flashin' a knot
A well known murderer, check the ill plot

Call up Corey Buns, get him on the block
Niggas gotta eat, plus he front a lot
He came through, straight strip search
He said I'm comin' back and I'ma put in work

Niggas told him, ayo leave that shit alone
But pride mixed with crack, had him in a zone
Prepared for more shit than Depends
Eyes bloodshot through a Cardier lens

Niggas said Buns came through lookin' strange
Yeah, Buns won't stay in his lane
Aight, Buns want ghetto fame
And caught two in the Ukraine at point blank range

It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide

It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide

I don't mean this in a disrespectful way
But Columbine happens in the ghetto every day
When the shit goes down y'all ain't got nothin' to say

Jamaician cat, real treacherous
Used to smuggle burners up from Texas
Had the ill crib out in Rosedale
Took the money from the trunk and copped a fishscale

Chinese Jamacian, real pretty nigga
Love puffin' blunts, throwin' bodies in the river
One of the illest niggas that the world ever saw
Used to take loaded nines and throw 'em on the floor

He was from Brooklyn, and I don't know the block
I met him at the flicks he commented on my rocks
We rolled back to back, while I was slingin' raps
He was slingin' crack, I was seventeen fascinated by the stacks

Runnin' with dangerous niggas and packin' gats
Uh, the shit thrill me, lookin' so clean, and livin' so filthy
I heard his right hand man disappeared
They found his bike in the street somewhere

Conspiracy theories, niggas talkin' shit
Small world, I was close to his right hand man's chick
She kept beepin' him he never called back
When they found him in the trunk his body was jet black

Pretty Jamacian kept doin his thing
Him and his older brother got caught up in a sting
Out on bail, pressure by the feds, he caught seven in the head
What goes around, comes back around
Nigga rest in peace when they lay ya down

"Uh, central, officer, your assistance is requested
We have a major crisis here
Mrs.Winthrop's cat is stuck in a tree"
"Roger, a squad car is on the way"

It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide

I don't mean this in a disrespectful way
But Columbine happens in the ghetto every day
When this shit goes down y'all ain't got nothin' to say

"Central, the cat has been rescued"

In the ghetto black men are dyin' at alarmin' rates
Walkin' the street is like enterin' a sweepstakes
You never know if you gon win or lose
We walk around feelin confused and totally abused

Can't front, I'ma millionaire livin' like a king
Still feenin' for that shrimp, fried rice and chicken wings
Still feenin' for the vibe, only the ghetto bring
Pumpin' songs of pain only real niggas sing

Queens finest, but there's one minus
The bodies on the battlefield that got left behind us
I'm sick and tired of goin' to wakes
'Cuz niggas never look the same in the casket

It's bugged out, they skin look like plastic
I shed tears, but use shades to mask it
"Mr. Media," where was you at when my man died
When it was classified a drug related homicide

It's like until the killer hit the suburbs
I ain't hear nothin', not a word
"Mr. Media," help us shed light on these homicides
Not just Columbine, but all the time

It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide

IIt's a, homicide, just a homicide
It's a, homicide, just a homicide

Operator - Lyrics - American Beauty - Grateful Dead

Title: Operator
Album: American Beauty
Artist: Grateful Dead
Composer(s): Ronald C Mckernan

Lyric:
Operator, can you help me?
Help me if you please
Give me the right area code
And the number that I need
My rider left upon the Midnight Flyer
Singing like a summer breeze

I think she's somewhere down south
Down about Baton Rouge
But I just can't remember no number
A number I can use, directory don't have it
Central done forgot it
Got to find a number to use

Trying to check out her number
Trying to run down her line
Operator said that's priviledged information
And it ain't no business of mine
It's flooding down in Texas, the poles are down in Utah
Got to find a private line

She could be hanging round a steel mill
Working in a house of blue light
Riding a getaway bus out of Portland
Talking to the night

I don't know where she's going
I don't care where she's been
Long as she's been doin' it right
Long as she's been doin' it right

Clay Pigeons - Lyrics - Fair and Square - John Prine

Title: Clay Pigeons
Album: Fair and Square
Artist: John Prine
Composer(s): Michael David Fuller

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet and get along with it all

Go down where the people say "y'all"
Sing a song with a friend, change the shape that I'm in
And get back in the game and start playin' again

I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again
Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that I've never been
And get up in the mornin' and go out at night
And I won't have to go home, get used to bein' alone
Change the words to this song, start singin' again

I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know
It could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go
Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again
Feed the pigeons some clay, turn the night into day
Start talkin' again, when I know what to say

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet and get along with it all

Go down where the people say "y'all"
Feed the pigeons some clay, turn the night into day
Start talkin' again when I know what to say

This Cowboy'S Hat - Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Title: This Cowboy'S Hat
Artist: Chris Ledoux
Composer(s): Jake Brooks

Lyric:
Well, there's always been groups of people
That never could see eye to eye
And I always thought if they ever had
A chance to sit down and talk face to face
They might realize they got a lot in common

Well, I was sittin' in a coffee shop, just havin' a cup to pass the time
Swappin' Rodeo stories, with this ol' cowboy friend of mine
When some motorcycle riders started snickerin' in the back
They started pokin' fun at my friends hat

One ol' boy said, "Hey, Tex, where'd you park your horse?"
My friend just pulled his hat down low, but they couldn't be ignored
One husky fella said, "I think I'll rip that hat right off your head"
That's when my friend turned around, and this is what he said

"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
Rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it till it's dry
Bulldog the Mississippi and pin its ears down flat
Long before you take this cowboy's hat"

"Now partner, this ol' hat's better left alone
See it used to be my daddy's, but last year he passed on
My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this ol' hat band
But back in '69, he died in Vietnam"

"Now the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine
But someone ran him down somewhere around that Arizona line
And a real special lady gave me this hat pin
But I don't know if I'll ever see her again"

"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
Rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it till it's dry
Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
Long before you take this cowboy's hat"

"Now if your leather jacket means to you what this hat means to me
Then I guess we understand each other, and we'll just let it be
But if you still think its funny, man, you got my back up against the wall
And if you touch my hat, you're gonna have to fight us all"

Right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's eyes
He turned back to the others and they all just kinda shuffled on outside
But when my friend turned back towards me, I noticed his ol' hat brim
Well, it was turned up, in a big ol' Texas grin

You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
Rope an ol' blue northern, and milk it till it's dry
Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
Long before you take this cowboy's hat

So, I poured one more and went home drunk again

And she was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me just like the Devil in disguise
I saw it in her eyes
She'd be gone before the evenin'

So, I poured another strong one
And chopped a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis

With a brand new start, I swore I'd love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I've seen better days
Than the one's that's here this mornin'

With a wife and kids at home
With a job somewhere on some assembly line
I wish I had that life
I bet you wish you had mine

So, let's pour another tall one
And chop a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis

Dude, what station is this? K snooze?
Kid Rock, thought he was the American bad ass
He's putting me to sleep
Nudge me if he gets over five decibels
I knew his first album was a good one

But that's the way I am
And this is how I jam
All across the land from Alabam to bandstand
Doped up rebel with an attitude shit

So fuck a bitch
Fuck a bitch
Fuck a bitch

I won't switch, won't quit my vices
Flip the script 'cause I'm gonna slice the righteous
Haven't you heard, I don't refrain
Free as a bird and so I won't change

Livin' it up, givin' it up, fuckin' shit up, what!
I'm gonna run my track from the D to Nantucket
So fuck it, if you don't dig that, you can suck it

And it don't

With an old suitcase, I swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you back in time
Can't drink you off my mind
So, I'll see you when I'm sober

I been looking for some reasons
But I ain't found one down in Texas
I been changing with the seasons
Walked in a new line back to Memphis

Louisiana Lou And Three Card Monty John - Lyrics - Allman Brothers Band

Title: Louisiana Lou And Three Card Monty John
Artist: Allman Brothers Band
Composer(s): Forrest Richard Betts

Lyric:
Louisiana Lou and three card Monty John
Oh Lord, what a natural pair
Looking for a game, fortune and fame
Waitin' just a little farther down the road somewhere

Now three card Monty is a gamblin' game
Two black Aces and a pretty red Queen
Keep your eye on the lady and lay your money down
Watch the fastest hand you've ever seen

Texas hustlin' Billy Lord, he's on the road again
He was seen in new Orleans the other day
Now Lou is known as quite a man with a pool cue in his hand
Won't be long till him and John were headed down that way

Louisiana Lou and three card Monty John
Oh Lord, what a natural pair
Looking for a game, fortune and fame
Waitin' just a little farther down the road somewhere

It was Friday night, Lord the time was right
Texas Billy finally made his play
The game went on into the night and just about dawn
They were counting Bill's money Lord, headed for LA

Louisiana Lou and three card Monty John
Oh Lord, what a natural pair
Looking for a game, fortune and fame
Waitin' just a little farther down the road somewhere
Waitin' just a little farther down the road somewhere

Beat Up Ford - Lyrics - Jack Ingram

Title: Beat Up Ford
Artist: Jack Ingram
Composer(s): Jack Ingram

Lyric:
A young man drivin' down a dusty road
Like he's got somewhere to go
Drivin' like he's got a destination
Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford

See there was a time when he was a young lost soul
He was chasin' butterflies and rainbows
'Til one day when he found his pot of gold
In the words of the young man who turned old

The old man said, "You gotta have a good imagination"
If you're gonna live the life of old
He said, "You got to drive that Ford like it's a Stallion
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun"
The old man said, the old man said

The boy walked out with a new found hero
Yeah, the boy well he walked away a man
And he said to himself that, "Dusty day way down in Texas"
Well I'm never gonna walk this path again

The old man said, "You gotta have a good imagination"
If you're gonna live the life of old
He said, "You got to drive that Ford like it's a Stallion
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun"
The old man said, the old man said

The boy walked out he was dreamin' of wild times
With old cowboys and broke down cattle lines
Now those fields are all but gone
His heart's still free and he rides on

The old man said, the old man said
The old man said, the old man said
The old man said

El Paso City - Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Title: El Paso City
Artist: Marty Robbins
Composer(s): Marty Robbins

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
From thirty thousand feet above
The desert floor, I see it there below
A city with a legend
The west Texas city of El Paso

Where long ago, I heard a song
About a Texas cowboy and a girl
And a little place called Rosa's
Where he used to go and watch this beauty whirl

I don't recall who sang the song
But I recall the story that I heard
And as I look down on the city
I remember each and every word

The singer sang about a jealous cowboy
And the way he used a gun
To kill another cowboy
Then he had to leave El Paso on the run

El Paso City by the Rio Grande
The cowboy lived and rode away
But love was strong, he couldn't stay
He rode back just to die in that El Paso sand

El Paso City by the Rio Grande
I try not to let you cross my mind
But still I find there's such a mystery
In the song that I don't understand

My mind is down there somewhere
As I fly above the badlands of New Mexico
I can't explain why I should know
The very trail he rode back to El Paso

Can it be that man can disappear
From life and live another time
And does the mystery deepen 'cause you think
That you yourself lived in that other time

Somewhere in my deepest thoughts
Familiar scenes and memories unfold
These wild and unexplained emotions
That I've had so long but I have never told

Like every time I fly up through the heavens
And I see you there below
I get the feeling sometime
In another world I lived in El Paso

El Paso City by the Rio Grande
Could it be that I could be
The cowboy in this mystery
That died there in that desert sand so long ago

El Paso City by the Rio Grande
A voice tells me to go and see
Another voice keeps tellin' me
Maybe death awaits me in El Paso
