Why do I do this to myself
Why do I want the one who wants somebody else
Don't you know I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Why do I always take the fall
I'd rather have you hurtin' me than not have you at all
Don't you know I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
If I could don't you know I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Another night out with the guys waitin' for my heart to mend
Then you walk back in my life and it falls apart again oh oh
[ guitar ]
Oh yeah ain't no doctor in this world gonna cure what's ailin' me
I keep achin' for you girl and it's such sweet misery
Why do I do this to myself...
Oh don't you know I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Take it home son
I'd get my heartbroke every day yeah

TEQUILA TALKING
(Chris Waters - Bill LaBounty)
« © '95 Ensign Music, BMI / Music Of Stage Three, BMI / Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I called about that conversation that I had with you last night
It must have been a combination of shooters and neon lights
And I didn't really mean to say I've been losing it since you left
Yeah I might have said the words but they came from somewhere else
It was just the tequila talking when I told you I'm still not over you
I get a little sentimental and I had one or two
And that tear in my eye was the salt and the lime
Not the memory of you walking
If I said I'm still in love with you it was just the tequila talking
I don't know what they put in Cuervo that makes me say such things
Usually I wouldn't care so much or make such a scene
But seeing you there in that dress you're wearing
Just drove me right out of my head
So don't hold me responsible for anything I might say
It was just the tequila talking...
If I said I'm still in love with you it was just the tequila talking

I LOVE THE WAY YOU DO THAT
(Don Cook - Wally Wilson - John Rich)
« © '95 Don Cook Music, BMI / Feed Them Kids Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI »
Talk about a sweet situation girl you've got me in one
You can lock me in your heart and throw away the key
We can get a little fire going let it burn it all night
Cause I love the way you do that it makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that anytime at all
Fingers on my skin you're doing it again I love the way you do that do that
[ guitar ]
If you doubt my love and affection girl I'm gonna show you
I ain't holdin' anything back you can have it all
You're wrapping me around you finger and I don't want you to stop
Well I love the way you do that...
Well I can see it in your eyes you can prob'ly read my mind
Oh you know just exactly what I want
And I love the way you do that...
I love the way you do that...
I love the way you do that...

RUNNIN' AWAY WITH MY HEART
(Sam Hogin - Mark D. Sanders - Michael Britt)

Hey buddy can you get me some faster wheels
I got a heartache nipping at my heels
I'll be hurtin' if she gets a big head start
First that girl stole my attention not to mention all my affection
Now she's runnin' away with my heart
I don't know where she's bound but I aim to be there when the sun goes down
Do a little catchin' up in the dark
When we're out there under the moonlight even when I'm holding her tight
She's runnin' away with my heart
[ guitar - steel ]
No don't tell me bout the speed limit I'll go a million miles a minute
Till I run the wheels right off of this car
I know exactly what I'd be losing that's why I'm doing what I'm doing
She's runnin' away with my heart
I don't know where she's bound...
She's runnin' away with my heart

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE
(Sam Hogin - Billy Lawson - Wally Wilson)
« © '95 Feed Them Kids Music, BMI / Tree Publishing, BMI / Katy's Rainbow Music, BMI »
I held the world in my arms I threw away the moon for the stars
Couldn't see the forest for the trees couldn't see the love in front of me
What would it take to take me back rebuild that bridge retrace my tracks
I would give all I own for one little stepping stone what would it take to take me back
I miss waking up with you there morning sun bouncing off your hair
And you all tangled up in silk and lace a masterpiece no one can paint
What would it take...
Oh what would it take to take me back

DOES YOUR DADDY KNOW ABOUT ME
(Larry Boone - Paul Nelson - John Rich)
« © '95 Tree Publishing, BMI / Warner-Tamerlane Publishing, BMI »
Well you say your daddy is a real cool dude and you keep no secrets from him
Well he knows you got a wild hair knows your kinda out there
And knows about your crazy friends
And he done found out about the night you snuck out with the Cadillac keys
But darling does your daddy know about me
Well he knows you been skippin' them Sunday school meetings
He's heard how fast you drive
Knows you got an attitude seen your little tattoo but he lets all that slide
And I bet my boots that he think he knows you from A to Z
But darling does your daddy know about me
Well do you think he's got a clue about the things
We've been doing underneath the moon and stars
And how the ground starts shakin' from the poundin' of our hearts
Yeah like a good daddy should he's warned you about the wolves
And told you about the birds and bees
But darling does your daddy know about me
[ fiddle - guitar ]
Well do you think he's got a clue...
Yeah darling does your daddy know about me

RAGTOP CADILLAC
(Billy Lawson)
« © '95 Cross Keys Publishing, ASCAP »
I've got a black book full of numbers all the makings of a real hot summer
Radio cranked up a rockin' week's pay burning a hole in my pocket
I've got everything I need almost everything I need I'm this close
Everything I need wouldn't you know
The only thing I lack is you and a ragtop Cadillac
I've got my new boots off of lay-a-way it's Friday night and I'm ready to play
Fist full of quarters for the telephone a '65 Chevy from a friend on lone
I've got everything I need almost...
[ fiddle ]
I've got everything I need almost...
You and a ragtop Cadillac I need you and a ragtop Cadillac

NO NEWS

She said it's just a woman thing and pulled out of the drive
I said not to worry I'm an understanding guy
I've heard that when you love someone you've gotta let 'em go
She hollered when I find myself you'll be the first to know
Ooh ooh no news
I'velearned to do the laundry feed the cat and clean the house
I promised to be patient while she worked her problems out
When she packed her bags her destination wasn't clear
But I sensed that her intentions were honest and sincere
Ooh ooh no news
She could telephone tell a friend tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon send a fax write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke tap it out in Morse Code
I prefer a bad excuse to no news
Her mama's been a little vague as to her whereabouts
Her sister says I'm certain your romance has headed South
I don't have a single doubt that she's still in love
My level of anxiety is just a product of
Ooh ooh no news
She could telephone...
She missed her bus missed her plane surely this can be explained
Lost her car at the mall got locked in a bathroom stall
Playing guitar with The Band on the road with Pearl Jam
Buried with The Grateful Dead came back as a Parrot Head
Got derailed got de-iced offered as a sacrifice
FBI CIA if they've seen her they ain't saying
No news still no news

PARADISE KNIFE AND GUN CLUB
(Chick Rains)
« © '82 Alley Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Joe Bob was as rough as a cob and prone to blow his stack
Kenny Dean was in the suicide scene and sneakin' behind Joe's back
Sneakin' around with Joe's girl June she liked the boys in the band
And when they all got together on Saturday night it was easy to understand why
They called it Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
There's drinkin' and dancin' to the music of Bobby Lee and the Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was lookin' for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Now the owner of the place was a man named Jack and he wouldn't take talking back
He was married to a woman named Mae she took up the slack
He knocked ya out and she'd drag ya out and leave ya in the parking lot
And when you'd wake up in the mornin' with a busted head you're just happy that was all you got
Come Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
There's was drinking and dancing to the music of Bobby Lee and the Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
[ guitar ]
Well the night that Joe Bob found out that Kenny Dean was sneakin' around with June
He caught Bobby Lee in the band in the middle of an old Hank William's tune
Bobby Lee cried out Your Cheatin' Heart that was just the spark it took
And when the fighting got started everybody took part and that whole damn building shook
Till the sheriff came out and he stopped the bout hauled everybody to jail
When the judge saw the blood and the chewed up ears he turned a whiter shade of pale
He said good God ya'll what's happened here somebody started World War III
Kenny Dean just grinned the best he could and said your Honor it seems to me
Like it was just another Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
They was drinking and dancing to the music of Bobby Lee and the Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Yeah on Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
They was drinking and dancing to the music of Bobby Lee and the Blackjacks
It was Saturday night at the paradise knife and gun club
If you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Lord if you was looking for some trouble you could find it I guarantee
Yeah on Saturday night...

WHEN COWBOYS DIDN'T DANCE
(Richie McDonald - Kyle Green)
« © '95 Pepemorchips Music, BMI »
Seven hundred heads of cattle on an old forgotten trail
Six cowboys one old man and another day of hell
Chuckwagon laggin' behind from the strain of a broken wheel
The only thing to look forward to was a campfire and a meal
Sleeping neath an open sky with just the stars above their heads
A saddle for a pillow and some sagebrush for a bed
Waking up tomorrow was merely done by chance
Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance
When cowboys didn't dance didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't dance
More coffee from an old tin cup more sweat upon the brow
Another day of chasing that same old lonely cow
With every new horizon began a brand new day
Thirteen hundred miles to go as they slowly made their way
Cross the plains of Texas and through the Colorado snow
Final destination Blackfoot Idaho
Cowboys didn't dance...
Cowboys didn't dance...
Seven hundred heads of cattle an old forgotten trail
Five cowboys and one old man and another day of hell
