Missin Kissin You
Baby kiss me one more time
And hold your body close to mine
Oh when you say we're through
I'm so lonely without you
It's like a day without a dawn
Everything is going wrong
It's like a winter without a spring
Or if the birds forgot to sing
Oh I'm feeling so blue
Cause I'm missin kissin you
There's a flame deep inside
My love for you can't be denied
Please return my love to me
If just tonight so let it be
And say again I love you too
I've been missin kissin you
It's like a day without a dawn
Everthing seems so wrong
I'ts like a winter without a spring
Or if the birds forgot to sing
So baby kiss me one more time
And hold your body close to mine
And say those words you used to say
And come tomorrow what may
Chorus:
Only Boys Back Then
grew up past city limits back in the woods
No computers no video games
Just our imaginations and childhood dreams
We were Evel Knievel in the yard out back
Building jumps out of plywood scraps
Oh I remember back then
When we were only boys back then, but we sure felt lke men
Only boys back then, but we sure felt like men
We were Davy Crocket and ole Jim Bowie defending the Alamo in that big oak tree
And We were in the big leagues in out back yard
Uncle Bubba would watch I still smell his cigar
Then we'd go inside to watch our heros on TV
Bubba gave us our first beer where mom wouldn't see
Oh I remember back then
When we were only boys back then, but we sure felt like men
Only boys back then, but we sure felt like men
Now i'm all grown up now and I watch the kids play
Wonderin' who are the heros they look up to today
Is it sports stars or Hollywood
Whatever it is I hope it's something good
Only boys back then but we sure felt like men
Only boys back then, but we sure felt like men
Shoulda Known Better
Sweat Marlene
Took a drive the other day in the early morning rain
Down to see a friend and his new wife
All along thinking that you were the one
The one I want to be with all my life
But I shoulda known better, than to fall in love with you
Shoulda known better, but there was nothing I could do
Shoulda known better, but it just felt so right
Took a walk in the trees and there we had a talk
About how our lives would one day be
You and me and a baby in a castle built for three
Oh what a sweet sweet fantasy
But I shoulda of known better...
I tried to be a father, I tried to do things right
I wanted you to want me when I came home at night
I wasn't sure you loved me even when you took my ring
Now I know it didn't mean anything
But I shoulda of known better...
I'll Take Care of Her
You Can Have Her
She's nothing but a pain to me
And once you've been her lover you'll be swearin' to me brother
That you wished you'd listened to me
Little girl is pretty as the flowers in the spring But this angel's got a devil below
She always wants to doubt me changes everything about me And tells me that she loves me so
Now I was reared on Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer she was raised on French Merlot
I'm a lover I'm a fighter I'm a wild bull rider But she takes me to the garden show
You can have her I don't want her anymore
She's nothing but a pain to me
And once you've been her lover you'll be swearin' to me brother
That you wished you'd listened to me
Daddy's little girl in a prim a proper world Got a side nobody knows
She cusses up a storm and then come Sunday morn' she's as pure as the driven snow
She shakes and she wiggles and she bounces and she giggles and bats them big blue eyes
Oh I don't mind it would be just fine except she does it for the other guys
You can have her I don't want her anymore
She's nothing but a pain to me
And once you've been her lover you'll be swearin' to me brother
That you wished you'd listened to me
You can have her I don't want her anymore
She's nothing but a pain to me
And once you've been her lover you'll be swearin' to me brother
That you wished you'd listened to me
YOU CAN HAVE HER
She’s got a birthday she just turned sweat sixteen
She goes out dancing every Saturday night
I see her out there makes me feel alright
Have a party, have a party tonight
She drives a supped up red convertible Mercedes Benz
And at a quarter till eight she goes picking up all her friends
She rolls into Cowboys she’s ready to go
Dancing on the bar doing “Cotton Eyed Joe”
Have a party, have a party tonight Party on!
She’s the first one there and the last one out the door
The band never stops cause she’s always shoutin “one more”
The bartender says, “You can’t stay here”
But she always talks them into having one more beer
Have a party, have a party tonight. Guitar!
I know a girl and her name is sweat Marlene
She’s got a birthday she just turned sweat sixteen
She goes out dancing every Saturday night
I see her out there makes me feel alright
Have a party, have a party tonight
Have a party, have a party tonight
Have a party, have a party tonight
I knew she was real sick, and I was just a little kid
I was so scared that mom was going to die
But dad reassured me with such love in his eyes
He said, I'll take care of her son, everything will be alright
Say a prayer for your mom as you close your eyes tonight
I'll take care of her son the best that I can
'Cause that's what you do when your a man
Well time went quickly by, I grew up and found my girl
So I went and told my dad, I'm going to marry her
He said son it's not easy, it takes a lot of work
But I know you can make it if you live by these words
Just take care of her son with all the love in the world
Remember what I told you how a man should treat his girl
Just take care of her son the best that you can
'Cause that's what you do when your a man
He reached up and held my had from his hospital bed
His time was drawing near, by morning he'd be dead
He looked up and asked me son, "Please take care of your mom"
As tears filled my eyes, I gladly promised him
I'll take care of her dad like you always did
I remember what you told me when I was just a kid
I'll take care of her dad the best that I can
You told me that's what you do when your a man
You told me that's what you do when you're a man
Alone Again
Chorus
Ooo Ooo
Hey Little Lady
that I ride a pony on the rodeo
get saddled up, rattled up, put on a show
when I ride a pony in the rodeo
Well I saw her down at the Chipawa County fairgrounds
I was ridin and wranglin in a hillbilly horse affair
I made sure she saw me in my chaps and boots and stetson
But she walked on by like she didn't even care
And I thought, "Hey little lady.....
When I saddled up my bronc I saw her in the grandstands
The gate flew open, my eight second ride begins
When the buzzer went off I hoped that she be watchin
But she was off getting cotton candy with her friends
And I thought, "Hey little lady..."
At the ho-down she was looking better than ever
With that sun dress on and her hair all up in curls
I said "hey little lady, what do think of this cowboy?"
But she just grabbed my hand and took me for a wirl
And I said, "Hey little lady..."
Try Me
Everyone wants someone to love them true
You want to be happy you've tried and you tried
But I know why your so empty inside
Chorus: You don't have someone to love, baby
The Problem is easy to see,
Oh, oh, oh You don't have someone to love
So why don't you try
Why don't you try
Why don't you try loving me
Wouldn't you like a companion as you grow old
Someone to cuddle close to when nights are cold
You've got everything that money can buy
So why not give something priceless a try
Chorus:
Solo:

Island Song
Nobody here just this guitar and me
The waves are breaking out on the reef
And palm trees' dancing back on the beach
I'm going to miss this simple island life
Warm lazy days here with my wife
She's still sleeping as the sun comes up
And I'm out early on this long boat dock.
Chorus: We're going home tomorrow
I wish time would just stand still And
Oh Lord please give me a little while
I'm going to miss this Island
I'm going to miss this Island
We'll paddle kayaks and snorkel the reef
Then order rum punch and a Bilikin beer
One last time at the Palapa Bar
Where I sing my songs and play my guitar
Then it's on a boat back to San Pedro
Then catch a plane over Mexico
Friends on the dock all waving goodbye
And I stand here with a tear in my eye
Chorus,
Chorus
Virginia Sweatheart
'Neck
From the mountains of Colorado to the hills of Bon Air
I said, Come walk with me a while before I leave this town
I'm going home to Colorado without this love I've found
And is there any chance we make it or will we drift apart
With miles so far between us my Virginia sweetheart
My Virginia sweetheart
Remember when I last saw her that blonde hair and soft blue eyes
The world stopped around us as her eyes met mine
I missed you here last weekend and even more as time goes by
And that song means more than ever "Your always on my mind"
And is there any chance we make it or will we drift apart
With miles so far between us my Virginia sweetheart
My Virginia sweetheart
And as the saying goes its where the heart is that makes it home
Well baby I'm feeling homeless sitting here all alone
And is there any chance we make it or will we drift apart
With miles so far between us my Virginia sweetheart
My Virginia sweetheart
So come and let me hold you and let's relive that first spark
And let the world stop around us my Virginia sweetheart
My Virginia sweetheart
When a young lady I won't mention brought to my attention that there was fixin to be a fight
So I walked on over to see, it was my ole buddy "D"
I said "Hey you fellas, you mess with my partner, you're going to have to mess with me"
It's my ole long haired, beer drinkin, skoal dippin, whiskey snortin, guitar picking, honkey tonk friend
And I'll know he'll be there to the end
It's my ole long haired, beer drinkin, skoal dippin, whiskey snortin, guitar picking, honkey tonk friend
Well he's down at the Vic and he don't give a rip
He's going to rock on till the end
Well the police came in as I was finishing my gin and they proceeded to frisk everybody down
And through the process of elimination and a little witness intimidation they proceeded to leave us no doubt
That the culprits in custody was me and my ole buddy "D"
I said "Hey you coppers, you mess with my partner, you're going to have to mess with me"
It's my ole long haired, beer drinkin, skoal dippin, whiskey snortin, guitar picking, honkey tonk friend
And I'll know he'll be there to the end
It's my ole long haired, beer drinkin, skoal dippin, whiskey snortin, guitar picking, honkey tonk friend
Well he's down at the Vic and he don't give a rip
He's going to rock on till the end
It's my ole long haired, beer drinkin, skoal dippin, whiskey snortin, mud flappin, trailer livin, dog beatin, guitar picking, honkey tonk friend
And I'll know he'll be there to the end
It's my ole long haired, beer drinkin, skoal dippin, whiskey snortin, guitar picking, honkey tonk friend
Well he's down at the Vic and he don't give a rip
He's going to rock on till the end
Well he's down at the Vic and he don't give a rip
He's going to rock on till the end
