"Welcome To The Club"

I couldn't help but overhear you talkin' to yourself
How she slipped right through your hands
And in between all of the four letter words
You said you're never gonna understand

You gave her everything you thought she wanted
Now all you want is gone
You're just one of many broken hearted
Wonderin' what went wrong

Welcome to the club
Don't be thinkin' you're the only one
Whose heart was in a hit and run
While you looked the other way
As you're howlin' at the moon
Take a look around the room
At all your fellow fools of love
Welcome to the club

Over in the corner is old Larry John
Gettin' over wife number two
And sittin' next to him is a regular here
They're as lonely as me and you

We got one thing in common when we walked in
A memory we're tryin' to kill
Swearin' up and down we'll never try again but
We know we will

Welcome to the club
Don't be thinkin' you're the only one
Whose heart was in a hit and run
While you looked the other way
As you're howlin' at the moon
Take a look around the room
At all your fellow fools of love
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the club
Welcome to the club


    




"Two Steppin Mind"

Swingin' doors neon lights
Hardwood floors it's Saturday night
Got on my dancing boots I've got a cold Lonestar
I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart

I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart
I need a five-piece band with a fiddle and steel guitar
Someone to hold when the music starts
I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart

It's happy hour when I get there
Pretty girls, man they're everywhere
There ain't no way to keep us apart
I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart

I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart
I need a five-piece band with a fiddle and steel guitar
Someone to hold when the music starts
I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart

I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart
I need a five-piece band with a fiddle and steel guitar
Someone to hold when the music starts
I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart
Hey, I've got a two steppin' mind and a honky tonk heart


    




"The Only Thing That I Have Left"

Some people say I'm one of those guys with blessings in life overlooked
Sometimes I feel like the tatter torn pages of some old paperback book
All the places I've played and the money I've made still I've got nothing to show
And the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you

You put your whole life into somethin' you love and you never get that one big break
That'll take you out of the back street bars and put you on center stage
But a million tears and a million beers have just about washed me up
And the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you

I gave it all I had every night for all these years
Pourin' out my soul 'til it was gone
I spread myself so thin and I'm just barely hangin' on
But tonight I'm with you and you can carry me through
Just love me
'Cuz the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you

I gave it all I had every night for all these years
Pourin' out my soul 'til it was gone
I spread myself so thin and I'm just barely hangin' on
But tonight I'm with you and you can carry me through
Just love me
'Cuz the only thing that I have left in the whole wide world is you
Oh, is you


    




"You Can Take It With You (When You Go)"

Well I'm gonna have to get a new mailbox
'Cuz all she left me was a hole
And I'm gonna hafta get a new washin' machine
As soon as I get some new clothes
Well I could close my eyes and run through this house
And never once stub my big toe
It was a man who'd never been left who said
You can't take it with you when you go

Hell she took everything but the kitchen sink
If I had me a glass Lord, I'd pour me a drink
It's a lesson hard learned but it just goes to show
You can take it with you when you go

Well I'm sittin' here on this hard floor
Where a big soft couch used to be
And I'm starin' at a bug on the wall
Where there used to be a TV
Well I'd kill that sucker in a heartbeat
If I could find me anything to throw
I was so naïve to have ever believed
You can't take it with you when you go

Well she took everything but the kitchen sink
If I had me a glass Lord I'd pour me a drink
It's a lesson hard learned but it just goes to show
You can take it with you when you go

Well she took everything but the kitchen sink
If I had me a glass Lord I'd pour me a drink
It's a lesson hard learned but it just goes to show
You can take it with you when you go
I oughta call somebody but I ain't got a phone
Just goes to show you can take it with you when you go


    




"Ain't No Angels"

I've lead a lifetime fightin' this land
Workin' for nothin' with these dry and callused hands
I'm a slave to the sun it ain't cuttin' me no slack
Gets me beggin' whenever I look back

Ain't no glory in this livin'
Ain't no runnin' from your sins
I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
Ain't no angels where I've been

Three generations countin' on me
To work this farm keep it in the family
Well I've done all I can but it's past becomin' clear
That I can't hold out much longer here

Ain't no glory in this livin'
Ain't no runnin' from your sins
I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
Ain't no angels where I've been

Ain't no glory in this livin'
Ain't no runnin' from your sins
I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
Ain't no angels where I've been
Ain't no angels where I've been


    




"Memory Lane"

People ask me what you doin' son
You're gonna drive yourself insane
You'll never find the sunshine
When you're followin' the rain
Seems like I'd take a new road
After all these years
But I wind up on the same old trail of tears

I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
Reminiscin' through the pain recallin' things that we used to do
I'm lookin' up an old flame down on Heartbreak Avenue
I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin'into you

I hate the way I loved you
But my mind keeps goin' back
My train of thought just won't get off
That same old worn out track
It's an every night occasion me and your memory meet
On that endless lonely street of broken dreams

I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
Reminiscin' through the pain recallin' things that we used to do
I'm lookin' up an old flame down on Heartbreak Avenue
I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you

I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
Reminiscin' through the pain recallin' things that we used to do
I'm lookin' up an old flame down on Heartbreak Avenue
I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you

Here she comes now
I'm still walkin' (walkin')
Down Memory Lane
I'm still walkin'
Down Memory Lane
I'm still walkin' (walkin')
Down Memory Lane
Lord, I'm walkin'
Down Memory Lane
Oh, I'm walkin' (walkin')
Down Memory Lane
I'm still walkin' (walkin' walkin')
Down Memory Lane


    




"Tears In The Rain"

It was rainin' hard in Houston when I ran into her
I searched for conversation but I was lost for words
Then a cloud of tear filled memories came crashin' down on me
If it hadn't been for the pourin' rain I'm sure she would have seen

Tears in the rain hidin' the pain
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
She thinks I'm so strong oh, but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain

Now I'll regret that moment 'cuz I didn't let her know
How much I still loved her I was hopin' it would show
But the raindrops and the teardrops ran together on my face
Now she'll never ever know no one can take her place

Tears in the rain hidin' the pain
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
She thinks I'm so strong oh, but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
She thinks I'm so strong oh, but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain


    




"What She Left Behind"

She took the TV and the toaster
She took the curtains and the car
I guess she took for granted
I wouldn't take it very hard
And for someone in a hurry
She took her own sweet time
But it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

A bedroom full of memories that time cannot erase
Photographs of the two of us that she said "throw away"
She took my heart and soul and left me here to lose my mind
No it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

She said I've given you my best
But I can't take no more
She said I've run out of reasons
Then she walked out the door
It's gonna take a lot of doin'
To get over her goodbye
'Cuz it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

A bedroom full of memories that time cannot erase
Photographs of the two of us that she said "throw away"
She took my heart and soul and left me here to lose my mind
No it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

She took my heart and soul and left me here to lose my mind
No it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind


    




"What Room Was The Holiday In"

You've got a glow that's not a suntan
And a new gleam in your eyes
Oh it must have been one great vacation
Girl you look so satisfied

Tell me what room was the holiday in
Was I out of your mind when you turned to him
What a good time it must have been
Tell me what room was the holiday in

You said you needed a small vacation
Just a couple of days all by yourself
So off you went in a new direction
And what you found was someone else

So tell me what room was the holiday in
Was I out of your mind when you turned to him
What a good time it must have been
Tell me what room was the holiday in

What room was the holiday in
Was I out of your mind when you turned to him
What a good time it must have been
Tell me what room was the holiday in

Tell me what room was the holiday
Was I out of your mind when you turned to him
What a good time it must have been
Tell me what room was the holiday in


    




"I Keep It Under My Hat"

It looks a little weathered, so it looks good on me
But since you've left I'm wearin' this old hat differently
Pain, wind, rain and sun, it keeps out all but one

So I keep the brim pulled down
Whenever those teardrops come around
So nobody else can see
Just what your memory does to me
I know I can't hide
But baby I've still got my pride
When your memory comes back
I keep it under my hat

Last night, I thought I'd go out I don't know where my head was at
I had to turn around go back and get my hat
And I was glad I did when I saw you with him

I kept the brim pulled down
Whenever those teardrops came around
So nobody else could see
Just what your memory does to me
I know I can't hide
But baby I've still got my pride
When your memory comes back
I keep it under my hat
When your memory comes back
I keep it under my hat
