Nights Like These

Nights like these you know I'm feeling all right
Just me and the boys it's a Friday night
Roll down the window when you walk on by
You toss yer hair, “hey come along for a ride”
Screw all them other guys now it’s you and me
We can catch a few beers and sit and drink tv
Then out on the dance floor and I realize, when
You flash yer smile “oh god I'm in love” with
Nights like these
Nights like these
Nights like these
I’m begging you please, for more nights like these.
Days like these I think I’m all used up
Can I trust myself? am I losing touch?
Even odds we called it right from the start
Didn't know I'd be gambling with all of my heart for
Nights like these
Nights like these
Nights like these
Ya know I think I need, more nights like these
Phone call rings in the middle of the night
You’re on the bed crying and the world ain’t right
Oh C’mon honey, don’t you shut that door
Scream out loud
Let it all out
You need a friend
I'll help you figure it out
Oh baby, we been here before
And I long for, I’m on board for, I’m down I’m knees for more
Nights like these
Nights like these
Nights like these
I’m begging you please, for every night like these.

Never Disappear

So many years ago
You and me were younger
We were just setting out
On the road that got us here
And I know we ain’t made it
But I can feel us getting closer
I may get distracted, babe
But I’ll never disappear
Oh we’ve been lost -- --
Lord knows how long its been
Got beaten here and there
We got even now and then
Oh we’ve been lost -- --
Took the same wrong turns again
Got exhausted here and there
But it never did us in
No it never did us in
Here’s to the years that lay ahead
Where you and me get older
Still saddled up and setting out
on some old frontier
Well, some day when we make it
I’ll be riding right beside you
I may drive you crazy, babe
But I’ll never disappear
Oh we’ve been lost -- --
Lord knows how long its been
Got beaten here and there
We got even now and then
Oh we’ve been lost -- --
Took the same wrong turns again
Got exhausted here and there
But it never did us in
No it never did us in
I’ll be there
Right beside you in the rain
Rolling with the punches
We got running through our veins
Reaching out for something
It ain’t easy to explain
I don’t know where,
But I’ll be there
Oh we’ve been lost -- --
But still found every place we’ve been
Got beaten here and there
We broke even now and then
Oh we’ve been lost -- --
Took the same wrong turns again
Got exhausted here and there
But it never did us in
No it never did us in

Invincible or invisible.
Whatever is the easier of the two.
Put on my boots. Snuff out that jay.
Got on my chaps-stick from Dr. J
That one big liar. Should be fired.
At least until I finish another Whiskey.
My thumbs are tired from being wired.
Just let my eyelids save the scene I see.
Pick up, my truck. Down on my luck.
Doesn’t phase me, cops can’t taze me.
No end in site. This big highway.
And if I die, please clear my historay.
That one big liar. Should be fired.
At least until I finish another Whiskey.
My thumbs are tired from being wired.
Just let my eyelids save the scene I see.
And if you still see me. Come with me, and you’ll see.
That you can just be and completely be and be.

Loneliness & Heartache
03:54

Sittin here all alone I got nothing else to do
Sun is bright and the day is out
But I’m feeling blue
Shuffle round this place we called home, but I think that’s all through
lipstick on this red wine glass reminds me of you
I can’t handle all this loneliness and heartache
And I can’t take my mind off of you
Talk about it with all my friends and the times we been through
Their words they echo through my head, saying to leave you
But I can’t handle all that loneliness and heartache
And I can’t make my mind over you
Solo / Bridge
No I can’t handle all this loneliness and heartache
And I can’t make my mind over you
I can’t handle all this loneliness and heartbreak
So I won’t make my way back to you

Pretty Girls & Rodeos

Buckle up, we’re headed on down
The bottom of the bottle is hallowed ground
Neon lights in nowhere towns
Don’t sound like much, but it’s the best I’ve found
Whiskey woman won’t you take my hand
And waltz with me to the Promised Land
I hope there’s honky-tonks in heaven
Pretty girls and rodeos
Steel guitars and American cars
blowin’ down old country roads
Well, if there’s honky-tonks in heaven
you can meet me by and by
Where the desperados pine,
for the things they left behind
You can follow the neon signs on down
To my barstool in the sky
Screeching tires baby, shifting gears
Make mine a double, I’m in trouble dear
I was making money, shaking hands out here
But that’s all changed these last few years
Whiskey woman won’t you take it slow
Take me somewhere the lights stay low…
I hope there’s honky-tonks in heaven
Pretty girls and rodeos
Steel guitars and American cars
blowin’ down old country roads
Well, if there’s honky-tonks in heaven
you can meet me by and by
Where the desperados pine,
for the things they left behind
You can follow the neon signs on down
To my barstool in the sky
Just follow the neon signs on down
To my barstool in the sky

Shitty Bars & Guitars
03:21

Up on a barstool it's 1am
I’m loaded on whiskey and grinning a grin
I'm all alone thinking about what I done did
The hookers that left me and the good times we hid
Yah I'm all alone thinking how it's been too long
Since I put it all down and put it into a song
And then it does hit me like a bolt from above
I ain't outta livin, I'm just all out of love [Hold on D]
I know what it's like to play these shitty bars
I collect em like scars on this beat up guitar
Night after night and day after day
I'm giving it all….. and I'm giving it all away
Now I’m up on this barstool and it's 3am
I’m all out of whiskey and you’re grinning a grin
You’re right here you’re next to me and we could star
In the rights to the movie
Or in the back of my car
But I'm stuck here thinking how it's been too long
Til I put it all down and put it into a song
And then it does hit me like a bolt from above
I ain't out of livin, I’m just all out of love [Hold on D]
Cuz I know what it's like to play these shitty bars
I collect em like scars on this beat up guitar
Night after night and day after day
I'm giving it all….. and I'm giving it away
Solo
And I know what it's like to play these shitty bars
I collect em like scars on this beat up guitar
Night after night and day after day
I'm giving it all….. and I'm giving it all away
