Drinkin' Bone

Casey Beathard - Kerry Kurt Phillips

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well it's Friday evenin' six o'clock and all my friends are twistin' off
I'm at the house just turnin' on TV
And they all wonder why I've changed how many times must I explain
It's basic honky tonk anatomy
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone

Hey two plus two is always four and down is south and up is north
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
You play with fire you end up burned the early-bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know
Is the drinkin' bone is connected...
[ guitar - steel ]
Hey sing it with me let's make sure you know
The drinkin' bone is connected...
The drinkin' bone is connected...

You Feel Good

Bob DiPiero

© Blackwood Music, BMI

I like sleeping in the nude when it's hot and the moon is full
I like a little ice in my drink and the sound when it clinks that's cool
But when I need maximum sensation I turn to you
Cause you feel good baby you feel good
I like a little itch on my neck when a song won't let me go
I like a shower beatin' down steam risin' all around like smoke
But when I wanna feel a rush that goes a little deeper I turn to you
And you feel good baby you feel good
[ steel ]
I like the velvet of your skin when I'm holding you in my arms
And I like the way that we connect the way that you caress my heart
And everytime I need love and understanding I turn to you
Cause you feel good baby you feel good baby you feel good
Oh oh yeah you feel good
Like I wanna shout I wanna cry
I wanna make you feel exactly what I feel inside
Yeah you feel good

How'd I Wind Up In Jamaica

Michael Heeney - Casey Beathard

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Sign said cold beer I pulled in there pulled up a chair to have just one
Now my head hurts got this sun burn oh what on earth have I done
How'd I wind up in Jamaica washed up like some lost cast away
How did one round of beer lead to me laying here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay

Hey don't I know you ain't you the girl who
I was talking to back at the bar
Your dress was light green and I had on blue jeans
Tell me what's it mean when we don't know where we are
How'd I wind up in Jamaica was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh I barely remember you cussing December
As you passed me that salt and the lime
[ keyboards ]
It's been a year now we're still here now
All settled down might not go back again
Like a couple of beach bums we hardly work much
Still ask each other every now and then
How'd we wind up in Jamaica was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh who cares it don't matter we're happy ever after
Now pass me that salt and the lime
Got it made here in Jamaica wouldn't have it any other way
To this day it ain't clear all I know is we're here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay

Tiny Town

Keith Stegall

© Midnight Express Music, BMI

I grew up in a tiny town sidewalks rolled up when the sun went down
And we played in the streets till my mom said come eat in that tiny town
Dad ran station by the railroad track half his life he spent on his back
Underneath a car Lord he worked so hard in that tiny town
They say home is where your heart is and I guess it's true
And they say you can't go back but I close my eyes and I'm driving through

My mom sold Avon in the neighborhood and I'd wait in the car hoping she'd done good
So I'd have a dime to spend on the ice cream man in that tiny town
I got the car when I was just fifteen five dollars bought a lot of gasoline
To the drive in picture show where we used to go in that tiny town
They say home is where your heart is...

Now the years they fly by oh so fast so much of life we lose to the past
But I'm proud to say that I was raised in a tiny town
Yeah I'm proud to say that I was raised in a tiny town

Truth About Men

Paul Overstreet - Tim Johnson - Rory Lee

© Marathon Key Music, BMI

with Andy Griggs

We don't like to go out shoppin' we don't care what's on sale
We just want to sit with a bag full of chips watchin' the NFL
When you come over at half-time say does this dress fit too tight
We just look you in the eye with a big fat lie say uh uh Looks just right
Well that's the truth about me yeah that's the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf on our days off scratch and spit an cuss
It don't matter what line we hand you when we come dragging in
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's probably gonna happen again

We hate watchin' steel magnolias we like Rambo and Die Hard 4
Jump up and down like fools when we see the new tools at the home depot store
We don't really wanna take you to dinner at some fancy restaurant
The only reason we do is cause we know it leads to the one thing that we all want
Well that's the truth about men yeah that's the truth about guys
We'd rather play guitars and work on cars than work on the problems in our lives
And though we might say it to you every now and then
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's prob'bly gonna happen again

Well if you want to know what we're all thinkin' it's nothing too complex
It's just something cold for drinkin' and a whole lot of s-e-x
Yes that's the truth about men yeah that's the truth about us
We like to hunt and golf and drive around lost
Scratch and spit and a whole lot of other disgustin' stuff
It don't matter what line we give you when we come a crawling in
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's prob'bly gonna happen again
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's prob'bly gonna happen
Sure it's gonna happen you know it's gonna happen again
Ana that's the truth about men (you know it son)

Making Memories Of Us

Rodney Crowell

© Milene Music, ASCAP

I'm gonna be here for you baby I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
Now that I found you I want to surround you
I'll win your trust making mem'ries of us

I wanna honor your mother I wanna learn from your paw
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you a man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
I want to know you like nobody knows you
And I'll win your trust making mem'ries of us
[ guitar ]
I'm gonna be here for you from now on this you'll know somehow
You've been stretched to the limit but it's all right now
I'm gonna make you a promise if there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm wet kiss
Cause I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
I'll win your trust making mem'ries of us
Yeah I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making mem'ries of us

That's What Keeps Her Getting By

Bobby Huff - Shane Minor - Danny Wells

© Carolina Blue Music, BMI

Stack of bills on her kitchen table out go the lights and off goes the cable
If she don't pay 'em by the 15th and it don't look like she's gonna be able
Two mouths to feed two jobs barely get it done
A lot on her plate for a single mom at twenty-one
From the outside looking in you'd think her world would crumble
But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel
Somehow she keeps gettin' by the only soft shoulder she knows
Is on some lonely road she's going down she's going down
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel but she's not
No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life than what she's got
And that's what keeps her gettin' by

Friday noon parent teacher day it's Johnson elementary or half a shift's pay
But she wouldn't miss it for the world
She looks around at all the daddy's in the room
Wishing her kids had one of them too
This ain't how she planned it her life's going ten different ways
It's off to little league and then to ballet
Somehow she keeps gettin' by...

In every dark cloud oh she keeps finding that silver lining
[ steel ]
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel but she's not
No matter what she's gonna give her kids a better life than what she's got
And that's what keeps her gettin' by
Yeah that's what keeps her gettin' by

When You Go

Michael Heeney - Casey Beathard - Marlo Cannon

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

The yelling and cussing was different this time
That's when I started to pack
There's a place where two people can't change anymore
And that's right about where we're at
Grabbed my favorite CDs and my six pack of beer
A duffle bag full of my clothes
Didn't come here with much even leaving with less
Guess that's what you get when ya go

Back when we met I thought she was so me and she told me I was so her
Playing that game of pleasing each other oh it was so easy at first
Why when and where everything changed at this point who cares and who knows
But last thing I want is to carry this hate but you can't make it stay when you go
The way that it was ain't the way that it is we've come to the fork in the road
Abd it ain't about pride or who's wrong or who's right
There just comes a time when you know but you'll be better off when you go

Got caught in a moment way too surreal I wasn't trying to stall
Just taking my steps one at a time taking in all the pictures on the wall
But I walked in the kitchen said I better leave kinda hoping she might say don't
But she took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go
Yeah she just took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go

Baby Put Your Clothes On

Bill Anderson - Paul Overstreet - Buddy Cannon

© Mr Bubba Music, BMI

Baby put your clothes on put on those brand new shoes
I wanna take you downtown I got a little blues to lose
I wanna see you dancing swinging to a country song
I love to show you off baby put your clothes on
We been sittin' round here hardly doin' nothin'
I think we need a little bit of belt-buckle rubbin'
Where the lights are low and the music's fine
Wouldn't hurt us none to have a little you and me time
Baby put your clothes on paint up those pretty lips
Slip on those cool blue jeans the ones that ride low on your hips
You know you make their heads turn little girl you look so strong
I love to show you off baby put your clothes on
[ guitar ]
Baby put your clothes on...

Somewhere I Wanna Go

Mark Nesler - Tony Martin - Tom Shapiro

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Here's the thing about your memory
It could be a thousand miles it could be as many days
But when it's sweeping over me
I'm so powerless it just caries me away
And where it's taking me I never know
The only thing that I can do is hope it's somewhere I wanna go
Not that January night under that street light with the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean but they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes somewhere I wanna go

Like that weekend when we just took off
Driving in that April sun anywhere the feeling went
We ended up in Montreal
Couldn't understand a word but we learned to laugh in French
Where you memory wants to take me I don't know
The only thing that I can do is hope it's somewhere I wanna go
Not that January night...
[ guitar ]
Make it somewhere I wanna go somewhere I wanna go
Dancing down at Mardi Gras that little motel room in Arkansas
The nights we just sat up and talked somewhere I wanna go
Make it somewhere I wanna go

Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo

Michael Heeney - Casey Beathard - Marlo Cannon

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well I walked in and the band just started
The singer couldn't care a tune in a bucket
Was on a mission to drown her mem'ry but
I thought no way with all this rukus
But after one round with Jose Cuervo
I caught my boots tappin' along with the beat
And after two rounds with Jose Cuervo
The band was soundin' pretty darn good to me yeah
[ trumpet ]
Then some stranger asked me to dance
And I reviled to her my two left feet
Said don't get me wrong I'm glad you asked
But tonight's about me and an old memory
But after three rounds with Jose Cuervo
I let her lead me out on the floor
And after four rounds with Jose Cuervo
I was showin' off moves never seen before never
[ trumpet ]
Well round five or round six I forgot what I came to forget
After round seven or was it eight I bought a round for the whole dang place
And after nine rounds with Jose Cuervo
They were countin' me out and I was about to give in
But after ten rounds with Jose Cuervo ha ha
I lost count and started countin' again
One round with Jose Cuervo...
