1. She Used To Say That To Me

Let’s take a rest
Your kisses take my breath
You are the best
It’s never been like this

She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She’ll tell you she’ll never leave
She used to say that to me

It thrills you so
When she whispers soft and low
“Please hold me tight
I need your love tonight”

She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She’ll tell you she’ll never leave
She used to say that to me

“I’m yours,” She sighs
And she means it at the time
But someday she’ll go
If you’re wonderin’ how I know

She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She’ll tell you she’ll never leave
She used to say that
She used to say that to me
Over and over so sweet
She’ll tell you she’ll never leave
She used to say that to me
She used to say that to me

2. Honkytonkville

Thought I’d go crazy when you said goodbye
I didn’t have that far to go
But I made a wrong turn somewhere in the night
Down a long and lonely road

To Honkytonkville, an ideal
Home away from home sweet home
Honkytonkville where I don’t feel
A thing since you’ve been gone
Where the future’s always bright
In the glow of neon lights
Livin’ high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville

There’s friendly faces everywhere I turn
Droppin’ quarters in the slot
Lord knows that we’ve all got memories to burn
And that’s why that jukebox plays around the clock

To Honkytonkville, an ideal
Home away from home sweet home
Honkytonkville where I don’t feel
A thing since you’ve been gone
Where the future’s always bright
In the glow of neon lights
Livin’ high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville
Livin’ high on Barstool Hill in Honkytonkville

3. Look Who's Back From Town

Those city lights drew you like a magnet
You were attracted to his high-falootin’ crowd
I begged you not to go, but you still packed up
I’ve been expectin’ you
Oh, look who’s back from town

My old truck could not compare to his Mercedes
Did it humble you when you rode back on that Greyhound
You picked a plastic rose and left a field of daisies
I’ve been expectin’ you
Oh, look who’s back from town

What brings you back to this part of the country
Well let me guess, ol’ loverboy let you down
Did he throw you away like his money
I’ve been expectin’ you
Oh, look who’s back from town

What brings you back to this part of the country
Well let me guess, ol’ loverboy let you down
Did he throw you away like his money
I’ve been expectin’ you
Oh, look who’s back from town
I’ve been expectin’ you
Oh, look who’s back from town

4. Cowboys Like Us

take off time to time
With those crazy friends of mine
Head out on steel horses
With wheels and we ride

We burn up that road to Mexico
Blend in with the desert
Just we amigos
And we roll

Cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racin’ the wind, chasin’ the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we’re just outlaws out on the run
There’ll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us

We talk about livin’, babies, and women
All that we’ve lost and all we’ve been givin’
We sing about true love, lie about things we ain’t done
Drink one more cold one, come morning’ get up
And we roll

Cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racin’ the wind, chasin’ the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we’re just outlaws out on the run
There’ll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us

Cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racin’ the wind, chasin’ the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we’re just outlaws out on the run
There’ll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us
Cowboys like us

5. Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa

Love is so beautiful, when everything is fine. But when it is like hers and
mine, It lives and dies at least 10,000 times.

Tell me something bad about Tulsa. How those old oil wells, smell in the wind.

Tell me something bad about Tulsa. So I wont have to go back, believing i
belong there again.

Eyes as blue as Tulsa skies, I kept getting lost in when I met her.

Hair like Oklahoma sand, I could run my hands through forever.

But all good things must end, all rivers have to bend, I keep runnin, but she keeps pulling me back in.

Tell me something bad about tulsa.How those oil wells smell in the wind.

Tell me something bad about tulsa.So I wont have to go back believing I belong there again.

Tell me something bad about tulsa. So i wont have to go back, believing i
belong there again.

6. As Far As It Goes

Lately I've found myself fallin'
Deeper in love with you
I'm not the kind of guy
Who gets swept away
So here's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna give you this heart of mine
But that's where I draw the line

I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end, of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes

I know it may not sound like much
But baby make no mistake
I'm gonna treat you with more tenderness
Than any one woman can take

I'm gonna make all your dreams come true
But after that baby I'm through


I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end, of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes

You've got your limits, I've got mine
I'm only gonna go the distance
Time after time


I'm only gonna give you everything
Take it a mile beyond the end, of the road
I'm gonna love you one day past forever
But that's as far as it goes


But that's as far as it goes

7. I Found Jesus On The Jailhouse Floor

There once was a time when I was dead inside
I cussed the Lord for the day I was born
And prayed to the Devil to die
Just when I thought the Devil had won
Someone opened up the door
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now I’m free
Today I’m right where Mama
Prayed I’d be
I’m down on my knees
Now I believe
What Mama knew for sure
He’s King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

Now, if you’re in trouble friend, let me tell you what to do
I’ll tell you what he’s done for me
And I know what he’ll do for you
It makes no difference what you’ve done
You’ve a friend in the One that I adore
The King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

Now, he broke the chains that bound me, and now I’m free
Today I’m right where Mama
Prayed I’d be
I’m down on my knees
Now I believe
What Mama knew for sure
He’s King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

He’s King of kings
Lord of lords
I found Jesus on the jailhouse floor

8. Desperately

Every night it’s the same
I hear you callin’ my name
You’re lyin’ next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize it’s just a dream, but

Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everything’s ok, but

Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Know there’s no reason to smile
It’s gonna take me awhile
‘Cause I still love you desperately

Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Watch the sun goin’ down
There ain’t nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin’ myself
I don’t need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but

Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now I
Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love

And now
Every night it’s the same
I hear you callin’ my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
I still love you desperately

9. Honk If You Honky Tonk

Well, I got a bumper sticker
On the back of my truck
There ain’t another like it
‘Cause I had it made up
I can tell who’s behind me
They give themselves away
Lay on their horn when they read this phrase

Honk if you honky tonk
Don’t if you don’t
But, if you do
Don’t you love to
Honk if you honky tonk

Me and Friday night go hand in hand
Ice cold beers and a swingin’ band
A girl on my arm that won’t let go
She caught my little sign about a mile ago

Honk if you honky tonk
Don’t if you don’t
But, if you do
Don’t you love to
Honk if you honky tonk

Well, just the other day I was cruisin’ through town
Sheriff pulled me over, thought I had it now
I rolled down my window, he said with a grin
“I want one of them stickers or I’m gonna run you in.”

Honk if you honky tonk
Don’t if you don’t
But, if you do
Don’t you love to
Honk if you honky tonk

Honk if you honky tonk
Don’t if you don’t
But, if you do
Don’t you love to
Honk if you honky tonk
Honk if you honky tonk

I hear ya honkin’, yeah
I’m pullin over
Let’s honky tonk

10. Heaven's Missing An Angel

You came into my life like an answer to a prayer
Like a star that falls from the sky right out of thin air
Some might say it’s a miracle or a dream come true
But from that day I always knew

Heaven is missing an angel
That’s the only thing that it can be
Heaven is missing an angel
‘Cause you’re right here with me

No one else in the world has touched me like you do
It’s super natural, girl, the way I feel when I’m with you
I’m in paradise whenever you’re around
Then when I look in your eyes there’s no doubt

Heaven is missing an angel
That’s the only thing that it can be
Heaven is missing an angel
‘Cause you’re right here with me

I’m in paradise whenever you’re around
Then when I look in your eyes there’s no doubt

Heaven is missing an angel
That’s the only thing that it can be
Heaven is missing an angel
‘Cause you’re right here with me
Right here with me
You’re right here with me

11. Four Down And Twelve Across

I don’t know what to think of it
Sometimes I hate it
Sometimes I love it
Girl, this relationship we’re in
To say the least it’s puzzlin’

Like a crossword puzzle
Fill in the blanks

What’s four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost
That’s me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh I get it, that’s you

Never believed in horoscopes
But to the left of the ad
For a new dishwashin’ soap
Dear Abby’s got some good advice
For a troubled couple lost in paradise

In the living section
Page two

What’s four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost
That’s me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh, I get it
That’s you, that’s me, that’s us
Sometimes love ain’t enough
We try and try for the life of me, why did we give up

What’s four down and twelve across
Two letter synonym for lost
That’s me
And a three letter word
That rhymes with through
Oh I get it, that’s you

That’s me
Oh, that’s us
What’s four down and twelve across
That’s us

12. My Infinite Love

When you see a shooting star in the night
When you hear the warm wind whisper through the pines
I want you to know

It’ll be me and my infinite love for you
It’s just like I promised you under heaven above
It will live on long after we kiss goodbye
Forever by your side
My infinite love

When you think someone is callin’ out your name
When you feel that kind of feelin’ you can’t explain
Now you will know

It’ll be me and my infinite love for you
It’s just like I promised you under heaven above
It will live on long after we kiss goodbye
Forever by your side
My infinite love

I want you to know
It’ll be me and my infinite love for you
It’s just like I promised you under heaven above
It will live on long after we kiss goodbye
Forever by your side
My infinite love
My infinite love
My infinite love
