He starts to think when she winks that hes somewhere he shouldnt be He may be alone but at home someones wearing his ring So he heads for the door and ignores the devil on his shoulder Hell do the right thing but someones gonna break down and hold her Chorus: And theres a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale If the walls could talk you know theyd have some stories to tell Theres a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel Once again another man walks in and orders him drinks for two Despite his wife and picture perfect life hes to good to be true While hes flirting shed swear hes working on a job out of town A married man, you know hes got no business messing around Chorus: And theres a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale If the walls could talk you know theyd have some stories to tell Theres a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel Its a five star chain or a run down dirt cheap no name With or without room service what done is the same Chorus: And theres a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel In a room full of lies where love is stolen or put up for sale If the walls could talk you know theyd have some stories to tell Theres a vacancy at home but not tonight at the Notel Motel

I swore Id never love again a promise Id keep till the end But then you made a liar out of me But even a man of his words cant talk his way out of the hurt When everything reminds him of his old used to be But you made me forget about Whats her name I cant remember a thing because my mind is always on you I just draw a blank every time I try to think about the girl who tore my heart in two You made me forget about, whats her name Girl I was down and out without a shadow of a doubt Until you shined your love light on me I lost my faith in love my soul had given up It took a miracle to make me believe But you made me forget about Whats her name I cant remember a thing because my mind is always on you I just draw a blank every time I try to think about the girl who tore my heart in two You made me forget about Whats her name I cant remember a thing because my mind is always on you I just draw a blank every time I try to think about the girl who tore my heart in two You made me forget about, whats her name

Youre the devils daughter in disguise So dont try to hide the fire in your eyes You must be stupid cause you just dont have a clue Even hell frozen over is warmer than my love for you When all those Aggies move to Austin And Beaumont is covered in snow When the wind dont blow in Amarillo Darlin then you can come back home You sure can shake your little round behind But your hour glass figure wont buy my time You know how to work it Lord knows its worked before This time you leave your butt will have the imprint of the front door When Fort Worth is east of Dallas And Texans forget the Alamo When Lubbock opens up a ski resort And the Brazos is straighter than an arrow When all those Aggies move to Austin And Beaumont is covered in snow When the wind dont blow in Amarillo Darlin then you can come back home But dont hold your breath

Whenever she walks flowers grow in her footsteps Whenever she talks all the birds hush their singing The heart of a saint and the face of an angel Absolutely unbelievably beautiful And when this cruel worlds been gettin me down Shell take my frown and shell turn it back around Like a clown, shell crack a joke Acting crazy as a fool Absolutely unbelievably beautiful Itd be a big old fat lie, if I said I Wasnt turned on just by her looks alone Shes so much more, so much more than meets the eye Shes an angel on loan from up above And when I come home and the day is sinkin down Shell set the mood and put some soft slow music on And all 7 wonders aint half as wonderful Never ceases to amaze me The epitome of what love should be Absolutely unbelievably beautiful

She said she was not the one for me There was nothing I could do to change her mind She said she was sorry but some things arent meant to be She was unaware that she was robbing her heart blind What she dont know is Ill always love her forever What she dont know is that Ive never done her wrong Underestimation will break her heart for sure What she cant see, what she dont know Wont hurt her but its killing me Deep in the shadows of the smokey neon lights I play myself in a lonely game of pool I chalk it up as he sits down by her side I take another shot, swallow my pride and I play a fool Chorus Watching her dance with him Around that empty hardwood floor Is like putting sawdust in the wound And I cry a little more Chorus

Im there to greet you when your life begins Youll start your journey on your knees and hands I offer many choices an places you can go Cause you must choose cause Im just the road Im paved with memries, glory and regrets Im lined with broken dreams and cigarettes You can take all you can hold but if you stumble bneath your load Dont blame me; Im just the road Im a million miles before you, Im a million miles behind Ill take you straight and narrow, Ill ramble and Ill wind So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold Im not the reason, Im just the road Road to riches, the path of righteousness Through busy cities, or through a mountain mess Ill take you through the high way or snake you through the low But its your call, Im just the road Im a million miles before you, Im a million miles behind Ill take you straight and narrow, Ill ramble and Ill wind So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold Im not the reason, Im just the road Instrumental interlude Your last breath is not the death of me Ill take you on to where your ticket reads To that place where I hope shinin angels greet your soul If they dont, Im just the road Cause Im a million miles before you, Im a million miles behind Ill take you straight and narrow, Ill ramble and Ill wind So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold Im not the reason, Im just the road Im a million miles before you, Im a million miles behind Ill take you straight and narrow, Ill ramble and Ill wind So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold Im not the reason, Im just the road So dont you thank me dont you blame me When youre at that judgment throne Cause Im not the reason, Im just the road

Wild Horses & honky Tonkin bars Drives a man to chase gold buckles and guitars I dont do it for the money I cant blame the fame Its been a long hard ride, still I saddle up just the same Im rolling right along, sky above is blue I got the window rolled down and Im listening to Chris Ledoux Half a can of caffeine running through my veins Running rain or shine and Im never pulling back the reins No you may not see me on your TV, Im seldom heard on your radio But if your looking, you might just find me somewhere between The road and the rodeo

While the world keeps changing he wont budge an inch Hed ride lightening and never even flinch He tips his hat to the ladies and the legends too Skoal ring on his pocket just like Chris LeDoux He loves whiskey and rolling smokes Campfires, songs and old man jokes Long live cowboys, chasing gold buckle dreams Pearl snap shirts and old faded blue jeans Real life cowboys who weather the wind and the rain Like desperados waiting on a train Thosе honky tonk heroes and their six string guitars Outlaw troubadours bеneath those neon stars Long live cowboys Well, listen up girl your mama learned first hand The reason they dont call him a cowman Hes a cowboy, he wont always save the day Hell ride off into the sunset even when he should stay The same thing that stole your heart Is the same dang thing thats gonna tear it apart Long live cowboys, chasing gold buckle dreams Pearl snap shirts and old faded blue jeans Real life cowboys who weather the wind and the rain Like desperados waiting on a train Those honky tonk heroes and their six string guitars Outlaw troubadours beneath those neon stars Long live cowboys Modern day, real life, cowboys Naw, hell never settle down, you cant tame his soul He was just born a hundred years too slow Long live cowboys, chasing gold buckle dreams Pearl snap shirts and old faded blue jeans Real life cowboys who weather the wind and the rain Like desperados waiting on a train Those honky tonk heroes and their six string guitars Outlaw troubadours beneath those neon stars Long live cowboys Yeah, long live cowboys

If youd had made a tag on the back Of those designer jeans shes wearin Its some big name brand you cant buy at a Wal-mart And you from what shes got on From her Versace to her Louis Vuitton You wouldnt think shed know every Merle Haggard song by Heart But when it comes down to the heart of the situation Shes a little rockin honky tonkin modern day Minnie Pearl I should know, Ive been all across this great nation Oh there aint no doubt, shes an All American country girl Well she comes pullin up to you at a red light In some high-fallutin fancy foreign car Rich lady shades and a little dog in the window Youd never know she was born and raised right down on her Grandaddys farm But when it comes down to the heart of the situation Shes a little rockin honky tonkin modern day Minnie Pearl I should know, Ive been all across this great nation Oh there aint no doubt, shes an All American country girl Theres somethin bout her slow southern twang It sweet talks me into anything Her smile, her wink, and her pretty please Brings any country boy down to his knees But when it comes down to the heart of the situation Shes a little rockin honky tonkin modern day Minnie Pearl I should know, Ive been all across this great nation Oh there aint no doubt, shes an All American country girl Oh there aint no doubt, shes an All American country girl

Well... I been packed up some two weeks ago My trucks gased up and ready to roll Just might get a ticket or two,but thats alright Cause Im going to Texas to see my baby tonight Thinkin bout her sends chills up my spine Theres a feelin I get when I cross the state line Her pickup truck will be next to mine Cause Im going to Texas to see my baby tonight Colorados quite a sight But Id rather see my baby in those rugged mountain jeans Gettin cold at night,she can keep me warm If you know what I mean ..........., LoneStar shining bright Shines a little brighter,when shes with me So Im going to Texas to see my baby tonight Live a long life livin out on the road When the only friend of yours is the radio But even he fades out every now and then Girl I made a mistake I aint goin to make again The closer I get seems the faster I go The only thing between us now is New Mexico Its just a matter of time before I hold her tight Cause Im going to Texas to see my baby tonight Repeat Chorus Going to Texas to see my baby tonight

For the life of me will her memory keep on keepin me awake? This empty pillow by my head is proof you sleep in the bed that you make Just like a fool I did nothin, nothin short of helpin her pack Wish I could find a way, find the words to say To bring my baby back Ive got a good thing goin, and she aint slowin down A good thing goin, showin no sign of turnin around If I could go back, somehow backtrack Id undo all I did wrong, but Ive got a bad feelin my good thing goin is a good thing gone Thought shed at least call to say that she was ok While she left me walkin the floor Maybe she was long gone long before she ever set foot out that door I guess over time the love in her heart was overshadowed by her heartaches She didnt scream or shout, she had it all mapped out, and she never even tapped the brakes Ive got a good thing goin, and she aint slowin down A good thing goin, showin no sign of turnin around If I could go back, somehow backtrack Id undo all I did wrong, but Ive got a bad feelin my good thing goin is a good thing gone There goes my life down that highway All of my dreams slippin further away from this broken home Ive gotta put the pieces all back together Ive got a good thing goin, and she aint slowin down A good thing goin, showin no signs of turnin around If I could go back, somehow backtrack Id undo all I did wrong, but Ive got a bad feelin my good thing goin is a good thing gone Ive got a good thing goin

Now he dont expect her to stay true to him And she never says that she will But hes got a first love that just might kill him And she knows hes hooked on the thrill So shell wait and worry then shell wait some more For the fever that drives him to just run its course She talks to that picture they took their last night Together Says you cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever Sometimes he calls her he swears that the ground hurts More than it did yesterday She knows his voice and he still sounds determined to do Whatever it takes So shell wait and worry then shell wait some more For the fever that drives him to just run its course The whiskey he drinks said some things last spring That upset her Lord he cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever Then one night he shows up and says whats for dinner With that cocky grin on his face the way that she smiled And the way that she held him, told him he wasnt too late She closed her eyes and he put that ring on her finger Said you cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever No you cant be a cowboy forever

On a stage behind chicken wire at the roughest biker bar in town Dodgin chairs and broken beer bottles but I wouldnt put that guitar down Down the road another night another show never known if somebodys showin up You live to play another day the things youll do to do what you love Oh the things youll do like sleepin in an old church van Where youre payin your dues playin for free workin three jobs so that you can Well the fact that Im alive and Im singin this song is a miracle from above Thanks to the Man and every fan the things youll do to do what you love Out in the cold in the freezin snow I got down on my knee Sold my six string, bought you a ring and said honey will you marry me please? Girl Ill admit it was well worth it but gettin rid of that guitar was tough Thank God you bought it back the next day, the things youll do to do what you love Oh the things youll do Like when you woke me up at 4AM You were seven months pregnant cravin ice cream, a jar of pickles and a can of spam When I heard what you said I jumped out of bed and I drove off in my pick up truck I saw your smile and it made it all worthwhile the things youll do to do what you love Oh the things youll do like workin overtime makin ends meet Well youre broke as a joke but it aint funny always feelin flat dead on your feet But the kids are fed and their jumpin on the bed and you cant keep from crackin up Youre changin ties the Lord provides the things youll do to do what you love Lord is it true?

He calls from a hotel in downtown Dallas Says he wont be home for three more days She gets so lonely in her Houston hill top palace Talking to her self as their two-year-old plays She rocks the baby to sleep then gets in bed Reads romance novels of a love she once had She closes her eyes and dreams about the man Who gave her more than money and a call now and then Chorus: As the shine on her diamond starts to fade She recalls the promises they made But a bond can only bend so far before it breaks Shes stuck between a rock and a heartache She tries to keep busy with her everyday routines Soap operas in the afternoons, after she cleans As she wipes off a picture frame from their wedding day She wonders if he asked her again what would she say Chorus She feels like shes stranded somewhere in no mans land Cause her life is like a prisoners chained to a wedding band Chorus

Well I was thumbing through the channels And I saw a sight to see A so-called country singer, there singing on MTV And I began to think - had she ever heard a thing Had she ever been to Texas where Bob Wills is still the king Ah - ha From the Houston rodeo to any old dancehall Of cowgirls and cowboys know how to have a ball And every night theyll tip a toast to the Lone Star state Where the women are so fine and the music is so great Cause I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I dont wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Dont call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Aw yeah... All together now.... Its a Texas thing, Yall So if you dont understand just drop what youre doing Drive here as quick as you can Id even stop in Oklahoma if it was up to me Cause when it comes to country, there aint none like I wanna two-step to a real dancehall swinger I dont wanna see no wanna-be country western singer Dont call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it That hip-hoppin rappin boy band crap is for the squirrels in San Francisco And Nashville is making music that sounds like a dadgum disco Dont call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Yes, I said dont call it country unless you can prove it I want something with a swing to it Thats right...

Ahh lets go honky tonkin Lets go honky tonkin Have a honky tonkin good time with us Ahh lets go honky tonkin Lets go honky tonkin Honky tonkin round Texas Well Ill put some diesel in the tank Give that old Detroit a crank Well sit back and let that silver eagle fly Well up and down that Lonestar State Lets have a honky tonkin tail gate And dont forget to kiss your baby good bye Stick out a thumb and bum a ride Hitch-hike across the country side Come see why they call this place Gods country Well criss-cross in the Colorado From Amarillo to Zapata Every town along the way from A to Z Well my mom called me up And she gave me my last warning Said therell be hell to pay If I miss church this Sunday morning

The full moons glowing out so bright Its light out on the highway I cant hear the engine for the Wheels out on the road The wind is blowing freezing But it keeps my eyes wide open Its 3AM an drivins far And it hauls a heavy load I got to tell her that Im sorry I got to tell her I was wrong I got to show her I still love her And I been drivin all night long 100 miles from no where There are houses on the highway Empty and a dark place That someone once called home Maybe they put sheets on chairs And tables like the movies But I know in that in real life There as empty as my soul I got to tell her that Im sorry I got to tell her I was wrong I got to show her I still love her And I been drivin all night long And if I fail and I turn my wheel Into that semi coming I know well that theres a man in there Just trying to get home And waiting up and worrying Is a woman loves him dearly Aint thinking clearly Cause I been drivin all night long People think Im lazy And Im scared to just stop runnin People think Im crazy And I dont know that shes gone But I know that I got 200 miles To make fore mornin I dont think too much Cause I been drivin all night long I got to tell her that Im sorry I got to tell her I was wrong I got to show her I still love her And I been drivin all night long I got to tell her that Im sorry I got to tell her I was wrong I got to show her I still love her And I been drivin all night long

Hes wrinkled and gray but hes still got the fire And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire Hell pack em in just like he always did Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid He got his first guitar when he was fifteen Thirstin for knowledge, all hungry and green Strummin that six string just like Lefty did Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid Well the Honky Tonk Kid loves a honky tonk crowd He picks them up when this world gets them down All the smoke and the neon keep his pain here Nobody knows The Honky Tonk Kid Ten million fans and a hand full of friends Hell go home alone when each night ends Hell think about her and hell twist off the lid Cause nobody loves The Honky Tonk Kid It wont be long the lord will take him away Hed sung his last song, theyll place a reef on his grave But hell draw a crowd just like he always did One last goodbye for The Honky Tonk Kid

Well I was born on the banks of a river Cool and clear runnin deep and wide So I put my feet in the rushin water And felt the freedom runnin deep inside And though I wander through the darkened valley Well it was there to lead me home Whenever I needed a little peaceful healin Well you can find me where the river flows Those sheltered days are so far behind me And now I travel unchartered ground My steps may lead me through the barren desert But I wont lose sight of where I am bound My feet grow weary through lifes journey Still theres a place where I can go Whenever Im needin a little peaceful healin You can find me where the river flows Now if youre searchin for the river Listen close and you can hear it runnin on and on When I reach the end of this road Ive taken And I feel cold wind down in my bones Well Ill be needin a little peaceful healin And you will find me where the river flows And though I wander through the darkened valley Its always there to lead me home Whenever Im needin a little peaceful healin Yes, you will find me where the river flows Yes, you will find me where the river flows

His song comes on the radio, and brings back your memory And reminds me of the way that it used to be You loved all his hits like hello darlin and tight fittin jeans I just wish your leaving were only make believe Every time I hear those songs it makes me think about you And how we used to sing along to all the ones that we knew Its not that they arent good I used to love them to But every time I hear those songs it makes me think about you He may have been the best friend that any song ever had But when I hear that growl in his voice it always makes me sad It hurts to hear him sing Im not through loving you yet Lord only knows what Id give if I could forget Daddy left us when I was only three All he left behind were those Conway Twitty records and me Momma every time I hear those songs it makes me think about you

In every little town from Dalhart to Laredo Theres a corner cafe with an open sign in the window As soon as you walk in a waitress greets you with a grin And says make yourself feel right at home Old men sit at a booth telling tall tales and stretching the truth Bragging how bad the good ol days used to be Theyre all too tired to plow besides their tractors are rusted now So they order hot apple pie with a cup of coffee CHORUS Some things will never change After all these years the menu is still the same Serving that sweet ice tea with a touch of southern hospitality So order yourself a taste of yesterday at a Texas Cafe Theres a Wurlitzer jukebox full of old forty fives Playing three songs for a quarter or one for a dime The cook said he was a boy when it was brand new To him it seemed like yesterday but it was 1962 There was a family owned five and dime next door That could not compete with a chain discount store On the outskirts of town the drive in theater is shut down With a screen without a hero since Audie Murphy CHORUS There are fields with no grain, railroad tracks with no train And an old courthouse with nobody left to blame Town square is boarded up and brick roads are worn down But the chicken fried steak special is still around CHORUS

The years are flying faster now So tell me how eight seconds feel so slow And I wonder where old cowboys go After the rodeo Lord, I wonder where old cowboys go
