BRAND NEW MAN
(Don Cook - Ronnie Dunn - Kix Brooks)
« © '90 Showbilly Music, BMI »
I saw the light I've been baptised
By the fire of your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man
Well the whole town's talking bout the line
I'm walking that leads right to your door
Oh how I used to roam I was a rolling stone
I used to have a wild side they say a country mile wide
I'd burn those beer joints down
That's all changed now you turned my life around
Oh I saw the light...
I used to love 'em and leave 'em and brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me down then I met you now my heart beats true
You and me together feels more like forever than anything I've ever known
We're right on track I ain't looking back
Yeah I saw the light...
[ guitar ]
Oh I saw the light...
Oh I saw the light...
Yeah I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man

MY NEXT BROKEN HEART
(Don Cook - Ronnie Dunn - Kix Brooks)

You picked me up you shot me down you're stepping out all over town
Drove me back to drinking in this bar
I found myself a brand new friend I'm headed down that road again
I'm working on my next broken heart
Happy or sad it's hard to tell you taught me how to hurt so well
When it comes to love I know my part
Well I'll play this game that I can't win I'll be somebody's fool again
Working on my next broken heart
Well I thought all along you'd be the death of me
Well I met one tonight who wants what's left of me
I've seen that look before she'll tear my world apart
I'm working on my next broken heart
[ guitar - steel ]
Yeah I thought all along...
I'm working on my next broken heart
Oh I'm working on my next broken heart

COOL DRINK OF WATER
(Don Cook - Kix Brooks)

I bought my girl a diamond it was our engagement ring
She took it to the pawn shop like it didn't mean a thing
She went right out and bought herself a brand new party dress
She'll be looking good tonight when we go out I guess
She's a cool drink of water she's done hocked the ring I bought her
She might be the devil's daughter but she's a cool cool drink of water
I took her to a night club where we used to go a lot
The beer is cold and frosty and band is blazing hot
I went back for a refill and this guy walked up and said
There's a blonde out on the dance floor turning everybody's head
She's a cool drink of water and I should run yes I probably oughta
She might be the devil's daughter but she's a cool cool drink of water
Well I'd had one too many so she took my keys to drive
She said we'll have more fun tonight if we get home alive
Well that copper clocked her doing ninety in a twenty zone
But she didn't get a ticket just the number to his phone
She's a cool drink of water and that ole cop really thinks he caught her
He just met the devil's daughter she's a cool cool drink of water
She's a cool drink of water...

(Don Cook - Chick Rains - Ronnie Dunn)

He left you she left me drowning in this misery
We stopped living when they said goodbye
We've been faithful to these blues but I've had enough now how about you
Don't you think we've earned the right to go cheatin' on the blues tonight
Cheatin' on the blues tonight let's go out and do it right
Throw it into overdrive and get on down the road
Shake it till the break of dawn party till the heartache's gone
We'll have us a real good time cheatin' on the blues tonight
[ steel ]
Pick you up at half past eight you can bet I won't be late
With any luck we'll make the dance by nine
We won't talk about the past let old mem'ries die at last
Have some fun keep it light cheatin' on the blues tonight
Cheatin' on the blues tonight...
Yeah cheatin' on the blues tonight...
Yes we'll have us a real good time cheatin' on the blues tonight

NEON MOON
(Ronnie Dunn)
« © '90 Showbilly Music, BMI »
When the sun goes down on my side of town
That lonesome feeling comes to my door the whole world turns blue
There's a run down bar cross the railroad tracks
I've got a table for two way in the back where I sit alone and think of losin' you
I spent most every night beneath the light of the neon moon
Now if you lose your one and only there's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams dance on and out of the beams on a neon moon
I think of two young lovers running wild and free I close my eyes and sometimes see
You in the shadowas of this smoke filled room
No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried or how many lies that I have lied
Telling my poor heart she'll come back someday
Oh but I'll be alright as long as there's light from a neon moon
Oh if you lose your one and only...
[ guitar ]
The jukebox plays on drink by drink
The words of every sad song seem to say what I think
This hurt inside of me ain't never gonna end
Oh but I'll be alright as long as there's light from a neon moon
Oh if you lose your one and only...
Watch your broken dreams dance on and out of the beams on a neon moon
Oh watch your broken dreams dance on and out of the beams on a neon moon

LOST AND FOUND
(Don Cook - Kix Brooks)
« © '91 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I lost her trail on a Friday night she was gone before I got home
She'd been gettin' restless in that big house all alone
I've been up and down these city streets for three nights in a row
And Lord it's hard to find that girl when she gets the urge to go
It's kinda like a lost and found in a border town askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you like you've lost your mind say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon
[ guitar ]
I know she'll be coming back her car's waitin' right outside
But I don't want to think about who's taking her for a ride
And her unpredictability is what I love bout her best
But I've got to find her quick fore she does something I'll regret
It's kinda like a lost and found...
She's out there somewhere burning up the night
Somehow I've got to run her down I'm running out of time
It's kinda like a lost and found...
It's kinda like a lost and found in a border town askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you like you've lost your mind say they haven't seen a thing

I'VE GOT A LOT TO LEARN
(Don Cook - Ronnie Dunn - Kix Brooks)
« © '91 Showbilly Music, BMI »
These honky tonks and bright lights used to thrill me
I'd paint the town and stumble in at down
But now there's no one listening for my footsteps
It's winding down to one more night alone
I thought I had her wrapped around my finger
I didn't think this bridge would ever burn
I always thought she'd take me back but she taught me the cold hard fact
When it comes to love I've got a lot to learn
[ steel ]
It never crossed my mind that she might leave me
She did her best to love me till the end
If she were here I know I'd treat her better
But I won't ever get that chance again
I thought I had her wrapped...
When it comes to love I've got a lot to learn
Oh when it comes to love I've got a lot to learn

BOOT SCOOTIN' BOOGIE
(Ronnie Dunn)
« © '91 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Out in the country past the city limit sign
Well there's honky tonk near the county line
The joint starts jumpin' every night when the sun goes down
They got whiskey women music and smoke
It's where all the cowboy folk go to Boot Scootin' Boogie
I've got a good job I work hard for my money
When it's quittin' time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck and let the horses run
I go flyin' down that highway to that hideaway stuck
Out in the woods to do the Boot Scootin' Boogie
Yeah heel to toe docie doe come on baby let's boot scootin'
Oh Cadillac blackjack baby meet me out back we're gonna boogie
Oh get down turn around go to town Boot Scootin' Boogie
[ piano - fiddle ]
The bartender asks me says son what will it be
I want a shot at that redhead yonder looking at me
The dance floor's hoppin' and it's hotter than the 4th of July
I see outlaws inlaws crooks and straights
All out making it shake doin' the Boot Scootin' Boogie
Yeah heel to toe docie doe...
Yeah heel to toe docie doe...
I said get down turn around go to town Boot Scootin' Boogie
Oh get down turn around go to town Boot Scootin' Boogie

I'M NO GOOD
(Don Cook - Kix Brooks)
« © '91 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I got whiskey to keep me warm when the sun goes down
And this God forsaken honky tonk ain't likely to run out
So won't you come on home and save me stop me before I drown
Cause I'm no good pretty mama when you're not around
And there's women in this town whispering in my ear
Saying things a man in my condition likes to hear
So won't you come on home and stop me before I step on out
Cause I'm no good pretty mama when you're not around
Well I'm helpless when I'm tempted and I'm headed straight for hell
Oh I've got no resistance the Devil knows me well
So won't you come on home sweet darling oh Lord I need you now
Cause I'm no good pretty mama when you're not around
[ steel - fiddle ]
Now there's a southbound callin' me further down the track
And if I get on board that train well I'm never coming back
So won't you meet me at the station and tie my boot heels down
Cause I'm no good pretty mama when you're not around
No I'm no good pretty mama when you're not around

STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
(Don Cook - Ronnie Dunn - Kix Brooks)
« © '91 Showbilly Music, BMI »
My taxicab's waitin' wish I could hold you one last time
After all we had together there's gotta be a better way of telling you goodbye
If I had a horse I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings I'd fly off in the sky so blue
If I had the time I'd spend my whole life dreaming
But I'd wake up still in love with you
[ piano ]
Be in Baton Rouge by morning I hope you're missing me by then
I'd like to be the kind of mem'ry
That makes you want to take me back in your arms again
If I had a horse...
Some night when you get lonely will you still remember me
If I had a horse...
I'd wake up still in love with you
