[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
A Few Good Rides Away
I was sittin' in a truckstop
Watchin' tumbleweeds roll by
Tryin' to read the menu
When the waitress caught my eye
She pulled a pencil from her hair
And leaned across the bar
I did my best not to stare
But man, she made it hard
I asked that trucker next to me
Hey, what looks good today
He said I know what's on your mind
And boy, there ain't no way
Get yourself some apple pie
And something cool to drink
I know you want the special
And I like the way you think
(Chorus)
But you can't have the waitress
Boy, everybody's tried
There's a cowboy down in Abilene
Who keeps her satisfied
They got a hundred acre dream
That's gettin' closer every day
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away
Hard times hit West Texas
Damn near everything's for sale
But there's somethings we hold sacred
When everything else fails
When we're down to nothing
Out here, everybody shares
Most of us have lost our dreams
So we bought into theirs
I've seen her walk a hundred miles
Up and down this floor
I've never seen her fail to smile
When he limps through that door
So when you're done, you leave a tip
And make it nice and fat
And feel lucky you can own a piece
Of something like that
(Repeat chorus twice)
Just a few more plates of ham and eggs
And a few good rides away

[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
A Man This Lonely
(Chorus)
A man this lonely
A man this blue
A man who's world's been torn in two
Needs somebody
With a heart that's true
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
Two arms this empty
Needs someone to hold
A man this lost needs somewhere to go
When the nights go on forever
And the days do too
Oh a man this lonely needs a woman like you
I'd lost hope
I was so far down
Here you come turning all that around
I'd come to think
Of love as a lie
All that's on my mind now
Is you by my side
(Repeat chorus)
A man this lonely needs a woman like you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boot Scootin' Boogie
Out in the country
Past the city limits sign
Well there's a 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 hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods
To do the boot scootin' boogie
(Chorus)
Yeah, heal, toe, docie doe
Come on baby, let's go 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
The bartender asks me
Says, "Son what'll it be?"
I want a shot at that redhead yonder
Lookin' at me
The dance floor's hoppin'
And it's hotter than the Fourth of July
I see outlaws, inlaws, crooks and straights
All out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie
(Repeat chorus till end)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Brand New Man
(Chorus)
I saw the light
I've been baptised
By the fire in 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
(Repeat chorus)
I used to love 'em and leave 'em
I'd brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me down
Then I met you
Now my heart beats true
Baby you and me together
Feels more like forever
Than anything I've ever known
We're right on track
I ain't looking back
(Repeat chorus three times)
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Cool Drink Of Water
I bought my girl a diamond, it was our engagement ring
She took it to a 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 drink of water
I took her to a night club, where we used to go a lot
The beer is cold and frosty and the 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 drink of water
Well I'd had on 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
And I should run yes, I probably oughta
She might be the devil's daughter
But she's a cool drink of water
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Hard Workin' Man
I'm a hard workin' man
I wear a steel hard hat
I can ride, rope, hammer and paint
Do things with my hands that most men can't
I can't get ahead no matter how hard I try
I'm gettin' really good at barely gettin' by
Got everything I own
By the sweat of my brow
From my four-wheel drive to my cowboy boots
I owe it all to my blue collar roots
I feel like I'm workin' overtime on a runaway train
I've got to bust loose from this ball and chain
(Chorus)
I'm a hard, hard workin man
I got it all on the line
For a peace of the promised land
I'm burnin' my candle at both ends
'Bout the only way to keep the fire goin'
Is to outrun the wind
Come Friday night
I like to party hard
I carry on with the Cadillac cuties
Spend my whole week's pay on some weekend beauty
Come Monday mornin' I'm the first to arrive
I ain't nothin' but business from nine till five
(Repeat chorus)
I can't wait to get up in the mornin'
And do it all over again
Well I'm a hard livin', hard workin' man
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Heartbroke Out Of My Mind
Well I'm flyin' high and feelin' low
Drinkin' hard and dancin' slow
I'm gonna shine my buckle to George Jones
Heartaches are hot on my heels, bartender the race is on
She's gone for good and I'm goin' to town
I'm gonna live it up, ya livin' her down
José pick me up and get me on my feet
So I can scoot a boot to that two-four jukebox beat
(Chorus)
I'm heartbroke out of my mind
Pardon me boys if I get a little out of line
It's just temporary insanity
Till I get over what she did to me
I'll be heartbroke out of my mind
B.Y.O.T
I brought my own trouble tonight
I'm gonna get this bein' done wrong down right
Ya saddle me up boys I'm goin' in
They say when you fall off, well climb right back up again
(Repeat chorus)
It's just temporary insanity
Till I get over what she did to me
I'll be heartbroke out of my mind
Oh I'm just heartbroke out of my mind
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
I'll Never Forgive My Heart
Hello heartache who let you in?
Swore the last time never again
Back together just you and me
Where's your old friend Mr. Misery
I went and did it, I dropped my guard
I fell in and I fell for it
Now she's sayin' she's found someone new
How could I have been such a fool?
(Chorus)
Oh, close the door turn out the lights, draw the curtain
I'll get over her in time, gonna take some hurtin'
Oh, I tell myself I told you so as I fall apart
I can't blame love.
But I'll never forgive my heart
(Repeat chorus)
Oh, I can't blame love.
But I'll never forgive my heart
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Little Miss Honky Tonk
I get out on the redneck side every now and then
Call up my baby she comes over and the party begins
She's a slick nickel she's right on the money
I wouldn't give her up for a thousand buckle bunnies
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
She's got my number, knows my favourite songs on the jukebox
Goes to gettin' down like crazy and the whole place rocks
We'll have a few and get to feelin' right
She'll be my queen bee I'll be her neon knight
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
Oh oh I love her so
Stand back give her room boys and watch her go
She's a looker, heads turn when she comes through the door
A show stopper when she gets to goin' out on the floor
We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like a king when I'm out with her highness
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
Oh oh I love her so
Stand back give her room boys and watch her go
We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like a king when I'm out with her highness
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
I'm her big cat daddy, she's my little Miss Honky Tonk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Mexican Minutes
Up in the city it's crazy and concrete cold
Living life at the speed of light leaves dark in your soul
When every minute's got a heart attack in it
It's time to leave it alone
So I don't think we're gonna beat this postcard home
(Chorus)
We're down to the worm in the bottle
The chips and the salsa are gone
Now we know why J.T. sang "Oh Mexico"
We're two days south of the border
Feeling too good to care why
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
As the days goes by
We're dropping our worries
And pickin up Español
Down here the sunsets are red
The tequila is gold
Life is sublime here on Mexican time
They've got something we need to learn
If we don't show for a while
Don't be concerned
(Repeat chorus twice)
These Mexican minutes get longer and longer
As the days go by
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
My Kind Of Crazy
A hundred miles an hour
Out on highway 10
Top down burning up the night again
Ain't no one can catch you
But girl I'm gonna try
I can see that dangerous look in your eyes
(Chorus)
You're my kind of crazy
Full moon saying you know what I like
How about it baby
Let's you and I go out and get crazy tonight
I saw you at the drive-in
Dancing on a car
Rocking to the radio underneath the stars
Living every moment like it was your last
Don't know where you're going
You're just going fast
(Repeat chorus)
I ain't afraid of nothing
When I'm out with you
Running through the shadows
Chasing down the moon
Pushing to the limit
Isn't far enough
Let's go off the edge
And fall all the way in love
(Repeat chorus three times)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
My Maria
My Maria don't you know I've come a long long way
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies
Maria, Maria I love you
My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my peace of mind
Gypsy lady you're a miracle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when the skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
My Next Broken Heart
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
But when it comes to love
I know my part
I'll play that game that I can't win
I'll be somebody's fool again
Working on my next broken heart
I thought all along you'd
Be the death of me
But 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
I thought all along you'd
Be the death of me
But 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
I'm working on my next broken heart
Oh, I'm working on my next broken heart
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Neon Moon
When the sun goes down
On my side of town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
And the whole world turns blue
There's a rundown bar
Cross the railroad tracks
I've got a table for two
Way in the back
Where I sit alone and think of losing you
I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of this neon moon
(Chorus)
If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
I think of two young lovers
Running wild and free
I close my eyes and sometimes see
You in the shadows
Of this smoke-filled room
No telling how many tears
I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That I've 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
(Repeat chorus)
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
(Repeat chorus)
Watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
Watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Rock My World
She's got a T-Top Camaro with a scoop on the hood
And two big speakers blasting Johnny B. Goode
Looking so sweet it oughta be a crime
She plays with my heart and messes with my mind
Acts like Madonna but she listens to Merle
Rock my world little Country girl
She wears snakeskin boots made by Calvin Klein
And cheap sunglasses from the five and dime
All the other girls in school they give her dirty looks
She got an "A" in math and never cracked a book
Sure looks good in her denim and pearls
Rock my world little Country girl
(Chorus)
Rock my world
Drag me out on the floor
Dance with me till I can't dance anymore
One-step, two-step, get in a line
I gotta find a way to make you mine
I tell her that I love her but it ain't enough
She says I got to learn to loosen up
Get a little wild on Saturday night
But make sure she's home before the mornin' light
Sunday she's all ribbons and curls
Rock my world little Country girl
(Repeat chorus)
Rock my world little Country girl (Repeat and fade)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
She's Not The Cheatin' Kind
She's dressed to kill in the dress he bought her
She wouldn't care if he walked in and caught her
She's come to dance a dance or two
And do no tellin' what by the time the night is through
She found out the hard way about him
She's out to find out how she'll do without him
Her hands are shakin' her heart's pounding
By the way she's drinkin', his memory's drownin'
(Chorus)
She's not the cheatin' kind
She's been cheated one to many times
Oh, she's never fooled around
'Cause he's still lyin' she's through cryin'
She's not foolin' now
She walks by, every head turns
You can see how hot her fire burns
He didn't know what a good thing he had
It's too late, and that's too bad
(Repeat chorus twice)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Still In Love With You
My taxicab's waiting
Wish I could hold you one last time
After all we had together
There's gotta be a better way
Of telling you goodbye
(Chorus)
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
Be in Baton Rouge by morning
Hope your missing me by then
I'd like to be the kind of memory
That makes you want to take me back
In your arms again
(Repeat chorus)
Some night when you get lonely
Will you still remember me
(Repeat chorus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Texas Women
Well I'll bet by the time I get to Tulsa
She'll be pullin' on them tight blue jeans
She'll go down to Cowboy's, buy herself a cold one
And on a Friday night in Dallas, she's a cowboy's dream
Something tells me she'll sit out the first one
Then they'll play George Strait and she'll be gone
Cause heaven knows that girl was born to two-step
And Texas women don't stay lonely long
It's a fact that women like the one I left
Can find somebody else, any time they want
It's a shame, but I'm afraid the one I love
She don't like waiting much
Texas women don't stay lonely long
I'd sure like to think she'd wait forever
Welcome me back in with open arms
But she don't walk the floor, she don't count the teardrops
And she don't pick up pieces from no broken heart
I wish I could call and say I'm sorry
But there's nobody sitting by the phone
You know she meant it when she told me that she loved me
But Texas women don't stay lonely long
It's a fact that women like the one I left
Can find somebody else, any time they want
It's a shame, but I'm afraid the one I love
She don't like waiting much
Texas women don't stay lonely long
It's a fact that women like the one I left
Can find somebody else, any time they want
It's a shame, but I'm afraid the one I love
She don't like waiting much
Texas women don't stay lonely long
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
That Ain't No Way To Go
Lipstick letters across the mirror this morning
Said, "Goodbye, baby." You left with no warning
Like a thief in the night, you ran away with my heart
I can't believe my eyes, must be a bad dream
You always said we had a good thing
You never once let on we were falling apart
(Chorus)
That ain't no way to go. Girl, it just ain't right
Don't you think that I deserve to hear you say goodbye
That ain't no way to go. Was it all a lie
After all this time, that ain't no way to go
Getting nowhere, I'm tired of thinking
Guess I'll do a little wishful dreaming
And make a whiskey wish upon a star
Train whistle blowing down the tracks
Lonesome sound says she ain't coming back
It's such a cold blow from out of the dark
(Repeat chorus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
We'll Burn That Bridge
Hello Miss Heartbroke
Sit your sweet self down
It's good to see your dancin' feet back out on the town
Rumor has it you've had trouble with your man
I've had trouble of my own, I think I understand
(Chorus)
We'll put out your old flame
We'll build a bigger fire
I'll pick up where he let you down and take you so much higher
And if his memory comes around
And you think you still care
We'll burn that bridge when we get there
Come on let your hair down we'll have us a time
He had his chance with you now all I want is mine
Give me half an hour or just a dance or two
And you'll forget old what's his name and how he walked out on you
(Repeat chorus twice)
We'll burn that bridge when we get there
Burn it down baby
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
Whiskey Under The Bridge
There's not a heart that ain't been broken
A lie that ain't been spoken
A shattered dream that brand new love can't fix
I've been burned, I've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge
Let's dance a little closer
And I'll help you get over
The hurt you thought you never could forget
The bitter tears you've tasted
All those nights you wasted
Don't look back
It's just whiskey under the bridge
All those nights of drinking
Finally got me thinking
Heartache is just a waste of time
I've been burned, I've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge
All those nights of drinking
Finally got me thinking
Heartache is just a waste of time
I've been burned, I've been cheated
But this old heart's still beating
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge
Ain't no big deal
It's just whiskey under the bridge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Brooks & Dunn Lyrics ]
You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone
I'm still hurting from the last time
You walked on this heart of mine
I can't find much to believe in
You let me down so many times
Heaven knows how much I love you
But I'm tired of holding on
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Not much chance we're gonna make it
If I'm the only one who's tried
You know I'm running out of reasons
And we're running out of time
Someday, girl, you're gonna wake up
And wonder what went wrong
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when im gone
You're good at going through the motions
All I hear are alibies
Now I get this empty feeling
When I look into your eyes
I don't see the love light shining
I don't know what's going on
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when im gone
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me when im gone
Ohhohoh
You're gonna miss me when im gone
You better kiss me
'Cause you're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me when im gone
You better kiss me
You're gonna miss me when im gone
Ohhohoh
You're gonna miss me when im gone
