I LIVE ON HEARTACHES

(Autograph Music BMI)

Every morning I face another day
I lookout my window, but I got nothing to say
One cup on the table, one egg in the pan.
Life sure is easy for one lonely man.

I live on Heartaches, I'm a number one fool
I live on memories of a love I once knew.
I live on heartaches, sorrow and pain
One is my number, losin's my game.

Gotta quit my drinkin', quit running around
This life that I'm living run me into the ground
Got to make some money, get out of this town
Get away from that woman, who's been putting me down.

! live on heartaches, I'm a number one fool
I live on the memories of a love I once knew
I live on heartaches, sorrow and pain
One is my number, losin's my game.

BRING ME ANOTHER BEER DEAR

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

People say I'm crazy the way I spend my time.
Sitting in this old bar room, to me it ain't no crime.
I don't see no reason to stay at home all night.
Dancing and romancing is what makes me feel alright.

Bring me another beer, dear, bring me another beer.
You know I'll be sitting right here dear till the morning he
Bring me another beer dear, bring me another beer.

Here comes my favorite waitress, lord now ain't she fine.
I might keep her running, bit I tip her every time.
Come on over here honey, let me whisper in your ear
And as long as you are near dear, bring me another beer.

Chorus

Tonight I'm on the wagon, I don't drink no more
I gave it up, I've had enough, to me it's just a bore
I just come down to hang around and see who all is here
So as long as you are near dear, bring me another beer.

Chorus

PRETTY MAMA

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

Come on pretty mama, come on keep your daddy warm
Come on pretty mama, come on keep your daddy warm
I only want to love you babe, I won't do you no harm

We're gonna drink some whiskey babe, we're gonna dance all night
We're gonna drink some whiskey babe, we're gonna dance all night
I been thinkin' 'bout you mama, you know you make me feel alright

You know I'll treat you better babe, than I did before
You know I'll treat you better babe, than I did before
I'm coming home to you babe, I ain't running round no more.

Come on pretty mama, come on keep your daddy warm
Come on pretty mama, come on keep your daddy warm
I only want to love you babe, I won't do you no harm
Come on Come on love me babe, come on in my arms.

SUMMER SUN

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

Summer sun, shine your light on everyone
Can't you see what that woman means to me

Summer breeze, can't you tell that I'm at ease
This love I've found, got my feet back on the ground

Well, she told me with her smile
I think she's gonna stay around awhile

Summer rain, beating on my window pane
Come on in, you can see me laugh again

Summer moon shining on a night in June
We are one, and our life has just begun

TURN OFF THE WALLS

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

Turn off the walls they're still moving
Nail down the floor, cause it's slippin' away
Turn up the lights, they're getting dimmer
You better tie me down before I float away

The other night I met a lady
Her eyes were clear like the mountain air
Her voice was soft, sweet as honey
She had pine needles in her hair

She took me home to have some dinner
We sat and talked by the fire
She filled my glass with southern whiskey
She filled my soul with sweet desire

Chorus

I watched her lips as she was talking
I touched her hand, she passed the pipe
I got so high I hit the ceiling
But I sure did feel alright

I tried to stand, my head was spinning
I couldn't talk my mouth was dry
I stuck my head out the window
Looking for someplace to die

She fell asleep there in the kitchen
I fell down, there on the floor
When I woke up in the morning
I was lying outside her door

Chorus

IDLE UP

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

I got my idle up, I got my motor running hot
I'm all tuned up, I got overload shocks
I'm all greased up, and I'm ready for you
Oh baby I got my idle up for you

I got my idle up, I got a super wide tread
I'm all tuned up, I got high compression heads
I'm all greased up and I'm ready for you
Oh baby I got my idle up for you

I got my idle up, I got custom piston rings
I'm all tuned up, I got all those shiny things
I'm all greased up, and I'm ready for you
Oh baby I got my idle up for you

DIDN'T KNOW

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

I didn't know you were leaving
Couldn't see it in your eyes
I didn't know I was believing lies

It was only love that you were stealing
It was just my heart you took away
You know I always had that feeling
That you would stay

I've been hanging out in some funky bars
Flying high and feeling blue
It don't look like I'm gonna make it babe
Without you

IT'S THE MUSIC IN ME

(Southwest Words & Music BMI)

I got no money and I got no home
I got no worries I got nowhere to go
I'm living free, nobody's worried about me
Well I got something that you just can't buy
I got an easy feeling in my mind
And I don't care if that sun don't shine on me
Just as long as I can sing my song
You know I won't do nobody wrong
Cause I got everything I'll ever need
It's the music in me

Lived with a lady for a little while
She made me laugh, yeah she made me smile
She always gave her love so tenderly
But I was never satisfied
I had this feeling down deep inside
I gave her all that I had, then I set her free
And now I'm living out on my own
I got no worries I got nowhere to go
But I got everything I'll ever need
It's the music in me

I make my living singing worn out songs
I make my lovin' when the nights are long
But I ain't worried 'bout what will never be
I leave my sorrows on the open road
I left my heart with the friends I've known
And there's a lot of life I've yet to see
Well I guess I'm headed on down the line
I could be leaving 'bout any time
But I got everything I'll ever need
It's the music in me

JOSIE'S HER NAME

(Autograph Music BMI)

I met her on a Sunday, a chilly afternoon
The radio was playing in the living room
My wife was in the kitchen when she knocked at our door
I said come in I took her coat, I shut the door.

She said you must be Duncan, I said yes and I smiled
The lady seemed so gentle, yet she seemed so wild
She said her name was Josie, Donna's friend from school
I said she's in the kitchen, go and grab a stool

And I try to forget, but I ain't done it yet
Her memory keeps burning like a flame
Josie's her name, Josie's her name

I called her on the weekend, we went out for a drive
And man that girl made me feel so alive
But she would get uneasy, she'd say what about your wife
I just said it's time for me to live my life

And I try to forget, but I ain't done it yet
Her memory keeps burning like a flame
Josie's her name, Josie's her name.

I packed up my old suitcase, I loaded up my truck
I left my wife the stereo and the best of luck
But then when I saw Josie, I saw it was the end
When she said all she ever meant to be was just a friend

And I try to forget, but I ain't done it yet
Her memory keeps burning like a flame
Josie's her name, Josie's her name

THE HOGS ATE IT

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

Hot cornbread in the pan
Pinto beans, leg of lamb
Heap it up on the plate
Don't you know that we was late
The hogs ate it, the hogs ate it

Catfish smells so good
Stoke that fire up with wood
Collard greens cooked up just right
Don't you know we missed our flight
The hogs ate it, the hogs ate it

Baked potatoe, black eyed peas
Artichokes, turnip leaves
Spinach quiche, saurkraut
I got drunk and passed out
The hogs ate it, the hogs ate it

REDNECK LULLABYE

(Real Tall Tunes BMI)

Well I've got empty beer bottles since she's gone
They're piled up from the kitchen to the lawn
but still her memory lingers on
I've go empty beer bottles since she's gone

I've got dirty dishes everywhere
They're even in my easy chair
Ever since she told me she don't care
I've got dirty dishes everywhere

How I wish she'd just come back and love me
All those little things she used to do
The way she used to hold me, kiss and hug me
Make the bed, clean the house and fix my dinner when she's through

I've got last weeks laundry laying 'round
One pair of clean socks cannot be found
I guess I'll go and buy some clothes downtown
I've got last weeks laundry layin' 'round

Chorus
