It Doesn't Get Any Countrier Than This

Randy Archer - Jerry VanDiver

Now mama I know you've always wished me the best
And I've found somebody and I think she's gonna pass the test
She's a country girl as far as I can see
Mama I hope she's what you had in mind for me

She likes to go skinny-dipping in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this

Now mama I know she didn't grow up on a farm
But she sure knows her way around out behind the barn
And it ain't exactly chores she does at dawn
But she says she's gonna run me 'til the cows come home

She likes to go skinny-dipping in the heat of the day...

She likes to go skinny-dipping in the heat of the day...
Yeah mama it doesn't get any countrier than this

Give It To Me Strait

Reese Wilson - Stephen Grauberger

© White Brick Music, BMI

Bartender I may sit here on this barstool all night long
But I won't need much attention I just need some time alone
So if you'll give me some quarters and a bottle of your best
You can just sit back and let the jukebox do the rest

Give it to me Strait sing Am I Blue while I sit here and cry
And tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye
It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait before I come unwound

Let's start off nice and easy something like If I Know Me
And we'll work our way up slowly to Fool Hearted Memory
Yeah I've got all night long to sit right here and fall apart
So don't leave out one single song I know them all by broken heart

Give it to me Strait sing Am I Blue while I sit here and cry...

There ain't one country singer that ain't good for a bad heartache
And for me there's nothing smoother than a good stiff shot of Strait
It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait before I come unwound
So come on give it to me Strait before I come unwound

Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way

Dallas Frazier - Eddie Hill

© New Haron Music, BMI

Without me maybe you'd find somebody else
A little wiser with a lot more wealth
And without you it's true I'd be free
To go chasing all my dreams without any strings

But I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way

Hard times may never let up on us
And maybe all we'll ever have will barely be enough
And babe you know how cold the wind can blow
Love has never let us down when we needed it the most

And I wouldn't want it any other way...

Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Wouldn't want it any other way any other way
Oh girl you know I love you more each day
Any other way

Down On The Farm

Kerry Phillips - Jerry Leseter

© Texas Wedge Music, ASCAP

Every Friday night there's a steady cloud of dust
That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks
Got old Hank cranking way up loud
Got coolers in the back tailgates down
There's a big fire burning but don't be alarmed
It's just country boys and girls getting down on the farm

Ed's been on the tractor ain't seen Becky all week
Somebody said they seen 'em headed down to the creek
Farmer Johnson's daughters just pulled up in a jeep
Man he knows how to grow 'em if you know what I mean
Old Dave's getting loud but he don't mean no harm
We're just country boys and girls getting down on the farm

You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls getting down on the farm

Well you can come as you are there ain't no dress code
Just some rural route rules that you need to know
Don't mess with the bull he can get real mean
Don't forget to shut the gate stay out of the beans
If it starts to raining we'll just head to the barn
We're country boys and girls getting down on the farm

You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute...

Ain't no closing time ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls getting down on the farm
Oh let's get down y'all stay out of that hay

Not A Moment Too Soon

Wayne Perry - Joe Barnhill

© Suzi Bob Music, ASCAP

I was standing at the end of my rainbow
With nowhere to go and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were just way too much to hope for
But when I saw you I knew I'd seen the light

And not a moment too soon without a minute to spare
You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour with my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon

I used to think that love would never find me
And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me I knew I'd found forever
You rescued me just before I crossed the line

And not a moment too soon without a minute to spare
You touched my heart when I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour with my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon
Your sweet love saved me not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon

Indian Outlaw

John D. Loudermilk - Tommy Barnes - Gene Simmons

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I'm an Indian outlaw half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa she's one of a kind

All my friends call me Bear Claw
The village chieftain is my paw paw
He gets his orders from my maw maw

She makes him walk the line you can find me in my wigwam
I'll be beating on my tom tom
Pull out the pipe and smoke you some
Hey and pass it around

Cause I'm an Indian outlaw half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa she's one of a kind

I ain't looking for trouble we can ride my pony double
Make your little heart bubble Lord like a glass of wine

I remember the medicine man he caught Running Water in my hands
Drug me around by my headband said I wasn't her kind

Cause I'm an Indian outlaw half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa she's one of a kind

I can kill a deer or buffalo
With just my arrow and my hickory bow
From a hundred yards don't you know
I do it all the time

They all gather round my teepee
Late at night trying to catch a peek at me
In nothing but my buffalo briefs
I got them standing in line

Cause I'm an Indian outlaw half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa she's one of a kind

Cherokee people Cherokee tribe
So proud to live so proud to die

Refried Dreams

Jim Foster - Mark Petersen

© Millhouse Music, BMI

Last Monday morning you left with no warning
I started going insane
Well I headed South out of Del Rio Texas
With a hell of a load on my brain

And I kept on going without even knowing
How much your love really means
Now I'm messed up in Mexico living on refried dreams

I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is pounding in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and coming apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico living on refried dreams

This picture ain't pretty I'm ragged and dirty
And wondering what I'm doing here
Shooting tequila wanting to kill you
And wishing to God you were near

So full of your memory but feeling so empty
I've run out of my self esteem
Now I'm messed up in Mexico living on refried dreams

I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog...
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog...

Oh I'm messed up in Mexico living on refried dreams

Don't Take The Girl

Craig Martin - Larry Johnson

© Eric Zanetis Pub, BMI

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing when he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled said We can't leave her behind
Son I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind

And Johnny said

Take Jimmy Johnson take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend Beau
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world daddy please don't take the girl

Same old boy same sweet girl ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun grabbed her by the arm
Said If you do what I tell you to there won't be any harm

And Johnny said

Take my money take my wallet take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car Mister give it a whirl
But please don't take the girl

Same old boy same sweet girl five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she says It's time to go
Doctor says The baby's fine but you'll have to leave
Cause his mama's fading fast and Johnny hit his knees

And there he prayed

Take the very breath you gave me take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request take me out of this world
God please don't take the girl

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old

40 Days And 40 Nights

Tommy Barnes

© Taguchi Music, ASCAP

Well it's been raining on and on
Ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep a rolling in
And every time I think I might
Catch myself a glimpse of sunlight

The bottom falls out again well I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been a drifting Heaven knows how long
Cause it's been raining forty days
And forty nights since you've been gone

Hey well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowing like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your loving arms safe and warm

Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
Cause it's been raining forty days
And forty night since you've been gone

Aw listen to me now I keep staring out the window
Searching for a rainbow to signal that the storm will end
Hey 'cause I know that the rain will keep pouring on the pane
Until my saint comes back marching in

Oh girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
Cause it's been raining forty days
And forty nights since you've been gone

Hey well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowing like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your loving arms safe and warm

Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
Cause it's been raining forty days
And forty night since you've been gone
Yeah it's been raining forty days
And forty night since you've been gone

Ain't That Just Like A Dream

Tony Mullins - Stan Muncey

© Royalhaven Music, BMI

I popped the clutch on that old red Ford
Her daddy would holler and run to the door
Dust would fly as we flew down that old gravel driveway
And looking back I can't believe he let her run with a boy like me
He said You'd better get her back by ten or there'll be hell to pay
I can still feel her lips on mine it's all so real but lost in time

Ain't that just like a dream running wild and running free
We were rebels chasing time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream it always ends

Saturday nights we could all be found radios up and our windows rolled down
Hearts on fire and holding hands sights set on forever
We never thought those days would end we'd never be the same again
Summer would be the last time we would ever be together
I never knew I'd wake up some day in a brand new world so far away

Ain't that just like a dream running wild and running free
We were rebels chasing time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream it always ends

Sometimes I long for just one night of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream it always ends
Ain't that just like a dream it always ends
