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

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

She Never Lets It Go To Her Heart

Chris Waters - Tom Shapiro

© Great Cumberland Music, BMI

Everywhere I go they're staring at her
Every man I know he wants to have her
I guess I ought to be a jealous man
I look the other way they're hitting on her
Every night and day they telephone her
They try and get to her but I know they can't

Cause she never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms she can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

She walks into the room and everybody watches every move
Hoping she don't love me I know it by the way they hang around
But they don't realize there's more to her
Than what meets the eye that's why I'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now

She never lets it go to her heart...
'Cause she never lets it go to her heart...
(Never lets it go to her heart)

I Like It I Love It

Steve Dukes - Mark Hall - Jeb Anderson - Tim McGraw

© Texas Wedge Music, ASCAP

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair
I threw out my shoulder but I won her that teddy bear
She's got me saying sugar pie honey darling and dear
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year
I'm gonna get fired if I don't get some sleep
My long lost buddies say I'm getting in too deep

But I like it I love it I want some more of it
I try so hard I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is bout that little gal's loving
But I like it I love it I want some more of it

My Mama and Daddy tried to teach me courtesy
But it never sank in till that girl got a hold of me
Now I'm holding umbrellas and opening up doors
I'm taking out the trash and I'm sweeping my floors
I'm crossing my fingers and counting every kiss
Praying that it keeps going on like this

Cause I like it I love it I want some more of it...

Gotta wash my truck and dress up to pick her up to watch TV
And she sits down on the sofa she'll move a little closer
She can't get enough of me

Yeah I like it I love it I want some more of it...

Come on baby you know what I like
Yeah I like that mm mm mm
Hey don't forget to turn out the lights

Just To See You Smile

Mark Nesler - Tony Martin

© Baby Mae Music, BMI

You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no

Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
Taking that new job in Tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me

Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost just to see you smile

When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cause leaving didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rolling down your face

And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walking up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again

Just to see you smile...
Just to see you smile...

It's Your Love

Stephony Smith

© Blackwood Music, BMI

with Faith Hill

Dancing in the dark middle of the night
Taking your heart and holding it tight
Emotional touch touching my skin
And asking you to do
What you've been doing all over again

Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love it just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough and if you wonder
About the spell I'm under it's your love

Better than I was more than I am
And all of this happened by taking your hand
And who I am now is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever I'm happy and free

Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in no
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name

It's your love it just does something to me...
Oh baby

Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

It's your love it just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough and if you wonder
About the spell I'm under it's your love
It's your love it's your love

Where The Green Grass Grows

Craig Wiseman - Jess Leary

© Famous Music, ASCAP

Six lanes taillights red ants marching into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper from a sack a ninety-nine cent heart attack
I got a pounding head and an aching back
And the camel's buried in a big straw stack

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
And plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows

Well I'm from a map dot a stop sign on a black top
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
But all of this glitter is a-getting dark
There's concrete growing in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
And there's bars on the corners and bars on my heart

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows...
I'm gonna live where the green grass grows...

For A Little While

Phil Vassar - Steve Mandile - Jerry VanDiver

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Hot sun dancing on the river
We're sitting on the bank watch the world go by
Our feet in the water she pressed her lips to mine
We were so long on love but short on time

She could be a honeymoon sweet and a little wild
But she was mine oh for a little while

And I laugh every time I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she left me with a smile
Cause she was mine for a little while

We'd take a ride and head on down to Airport Road
Put the seats back and watch the planes leave town
She always said nobody's strong enough to tie her down
Oh but I wasn't looking for that anyhow

I knew she'd leave but I didn't know when
It matters to me now oh but it didn't back then

And I laugh every time I start to think about us...

I keep seeing pictures now of me and her and those summer nights
My mind fills with her oh but it's alright

Cause I laugh every time I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she left me with a smile
Cause she was mine
Yeah she was mine oh for a little while

Please Remember Me

Rodney Crowell - Will Jennings

© Coolwell Music, ASCAP

When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
Cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top

You'll find better love...

Remember me when you're out walking
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleeping
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore

You'll find better love...
Please remember me

Something Like That

Keith Follese - Rick Ferrell

© Purple Cape Music, BMI

It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the county fair
When I saw her for the first time
She was standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh a sailor's sky made a perfect sunset
And that's the day I'll never forget

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that

Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headed down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
When I heard a voice from the past
Coming from a few rows back
And when I looked I couldn't believe just what I saw
She said I bet you don't remember me
And I said Only every other memory

I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt...

Like an old photograph time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love never fades away

I had a barbecue stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a sun tan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
A heart don't forget no a heart don't forget
I said a heart don't forget something like that
Oh not something like that

My Best Friend

Aimee Mayo - Bill Luther

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

I never had no one that I could count on
I've been let down so many times and I was tired of hurting
So tired of searching till you walked into my life
It was a feeling I'd never known
And for the first time I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover there could never be another
To make me feel the way you do oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over every time I look at you
I don't know where I'd be without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense you're my best friend
You're my best friend oh yeah

You stand by me and you believe in me
Like nobody ever has when my world goes crazy
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble when we touch
And oh the look in your eyes when we make love

You're more than a lover there could never be another...
You're more than a lover there could never be another...

Maybe We Should Just Sleep On It Tonight

Kerry Phillips - Jerry Leseter

© Texas Wedge Music, ASCAP

I got an empty feeling when that moving van pulled up
It got a whole lot emptier as I watched them fill that truck
And when they carried out your clothes
It took my breath away now they're headed for that bed
The thought keeps running through my head

Baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight
And give our hearts just one more chance to change our minds
I could be wrong but goodbye just don't feel right
So baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight

I'll pay them boys to stop right now and leave that truck out on the curb
The TV and the phone's packed up so we won't be disturbed
There's not a light left in this room just a shadow of a doubt
So let's make sure we don't give up before we've thought this through enough

Baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight...
Baby maybe we should just sleep on it tonight...

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

My Next Thirty Years

Phil Vassar

© April Music, ASCAP

I think I'll take a moment celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done
Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears
And I'll do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I'm gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I'm doing here in my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I'll remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here in my next thirty years
In my next thirty years

Baby I've been drifting away
Dreaming all day of holding you touching you
The only thing I wanna do is be with you
As close to you as I can be

Let's make love all night long until all our strength is gone
Hold on tight just let go I wanna feel you in my soul
Until the sun comes up let's make love oh baby

Do you know what you do to me
Everything inside of me is wanting you and needing you
I'm so in love with you look in my eyes
Let's get lost tonight in each other

Let's make love all night long until all our strength is gone...
[ instrumental ]
Let's make love all night long until all our strength is gone...

Oh baby let's make love all night long all night long
Let's make love
