I bet you've never heard ol' Marshall Dillion say
Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
Settling down would you marry me?
If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please
She'd have said yes in a New York minute
They never tied the knot
His heart wasn't in it
He just stole a kiss as he rode away
He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place
I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should've been a cowboy
I might of had a sidekick with a funny name
Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James
Ending up on the brink of danger
Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers
Go west young man, haven't you been told
California's full of whiskey, women and gold
Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars
With a dream in my eye and a prayer...
In my heart
I should've been a Cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter
Riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should've been a cowboy
I should've been a Cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride
I'd be wearing my six-shooter
Riding my pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
Oh I should've been a Cowboy
Yeah I should've been a Cowboy
Yeah I should've been a Cowboy

He Aint Worth Missing
He's flying high tonight
He's got a brand new lover
Here you come a-runnin'
You're looking for some cover
I know you're sad and lonely
I know you're feeling blue
You miss him so much
Oh let me get to close to you
Oh, he ain't worth missing
Oh, we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing
He ain't worth missing
I know your head is turning
I know your heart is burning
Girl, you gotta listen
Don't you know he ain't worth missing
You know I'm here to save you
But you ain't through crying yet
Look at your pretty face
All red and soaking wet
I'm gonna try and make him
Just a memory
Come on baby, let's get started
First thing you got to see
Oh, he ain't worth missing
Oh, we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing
He ain't worth missing
I know your head is turning
I know your heart is burning
Girl, you gotta listen
Don't you know he ain't worth missing
If you need someone to hold you
Someone to ease your pain
Well, I'll be holding steady
Girl when you get ready
I'm gonna show you
Love is a good thing
Oh, he ain't worth missing
Oh, we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing
He ain't worth missing
I know your head is turning
I know your heart is burning
Girl, you gotta listen
Don't you know he ain't worth missing
Oh, he ain't worth missing
Oh, we should be kissing
Stop all this foolish wishing

A Little Less Talk And A Lot More Action
(Keith Hinton/Alan Stewart)
I was getting kinda tired
Of her endless chatter
Nothing I could say
Ever seemed to matter
So I took a little drive
Just to clear my head
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
It looked like a place
To find some satisfaction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
I paid the man at the door
And pushed my way to the bar
Shouted for a drink
Over a screaming guitar
A drunk on a stool
Tried to mess with my head
But I didn't even listen
To a word he said
I knew somewhere
Amid all this distraction
Was a little less talk
And a lot more action
A little less talk
If you please
A lot more loving
Is what I need
Let's get on down
To the main attraction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
Well she was fighting them off
At a corner table
She had a longneck bottle
She was peeling the label
The look on her face
It was perfectly clear
She said somebody please
Get me out of here
The look she shot me
Through the glass refraction
Said a little less talk
And a lot more action
A little less talk
If you please
A lot more loving
Is what I need
Let's get on down
To the main attraction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
I was getting kinda tired
Of her endless chatter
Nothing I could say
Ever seemed to matter
So I took a little drive
Just to clear my head
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
It looked like a place
To find some satisfaction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
I paid the man at the door
And pushed my way to the bar
Shouted for a drink
Over a screaming guitar
A drunk on a stool
Tried to mess with my head
But I didn't even listen
To a word he said
I knew somewhere
Amid all this distraction
Was a little less talk
And a lot more action
A little less talk
If you please
A lot more loving

A little less talk

To the main attraction
With a little less talk
And a lot more action

Wish I Didnt Know Now
I never ask you where your goin',
I never ask you where you've been
I've never called and checked your story,
When you stayed out with all your freinds
I've never tried to catch you lyin',
I didn't want to know the truth
I'd rather go on lovin' blind girl,
Than go on lovin' without you
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' it's you,
You could never be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
I'd still look like a fool in front of your freinds
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didn't know then
I've always said what I don't know
Couldn't hurt as bad as leavin' you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin',
It ain't an easy thing to do,
Well I guess I should be goin'
I sure found out too much to stay,
Please don't say your sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' it's you,
You could never be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends
You'd still have my heart in the palm of your hands

Whos That Man
Turn left at the old Hotel
I know this boulevard much too well
It hasn't changed since I been gone
Oh, this used to be my way home
They paved the road thru the neighborhood
I guess the county finally fixed good
It was gettin rough
Someone finally complained eneogh
Fight the tears back with a smile
Stop and look for a little while
Oh it's plain to see
The only thing missing is me
That's my house & that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Whose that man, runnin my life
If I pulled in would it cause a seen
There not really expectin me
Those kid's have been thru hell
I hear they adjusted well
Turn around in the neigbors drive
I'd be hard to recognise
In this pick-up truck
It's just an old fixer up
Drive away one more time
Lot of things going thru my mind
I guess the less things change
The more they never seem the same
That's my house & that's my car
That's my dog in my back yard
There's the window to the room
Where she lays her pretty head
I planted that tree out by the fence
Not long after we moved in
That's my kids and that's my wife
Whose that man, runnin my life

Upstairs Downtown
Route 14 Box 308
She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate
Hoping she would find her a place in the world
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes
It almost made her daddy cry
He said don't forget to call when you get there girl.
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Moving upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good
All bills paid and a room with a view
She's unpacked a dish or two
She just got her phone turned on today
There's a big, old world waiting just outside
As she's thumbing through the classifieds
Looking for work and any old job's okay
Driving on that cross-town freeway hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Living upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good
Then she lost her job at the grocery store
And the wolf came knocking at the door
The red notice said they turned off her telephone
There's nothing left for her to do so she's packed up a thing or two
Loaded her car down, now she's headed home
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Living upstairs, downtown
Life's too short to be hanging around
She's eighteen and it's time she got back to the wood
She's getting out while the getting's good

You Aint Much Fun
I used to come home late and not a minute too soon
Barking like a dog, howling at the moon
You'd be mad as an ol' WET hen, up all night wonderin' where I been
I'd fall down and say come help me honey
You laughed out loud, I guess you thought it was funny
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Now I'm paintin' the house and I'm mendin' the fence
I guess I gone and lost all my good sense
Too much work is hard for your health
I could've died drinkin', now I'm killing myself
Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Now I'm fixin' the sink and I'm mowin' the grass
You made me a list and I'm bustin' my - WELL....
All broke down, tail's been draggin'
It's a tough ol' life up here on the wagon
Now I'm feedin' the dog, sackin' the trash
It's honey do this, honey do that
I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'
Girl you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin'
Yeah, I sobered up, and I got to thinkin'

Big Ol Truck
Yea, you can see the girl coming, from a mile away.
She got her big wheels turning, she got Oklahoma plates.
She's got the sunroof up, she's got her window rolled down.
And you ought to feel the ground shaking when she comes to town.
Yea, I'm in love with a girl in a 4 wheel drive.
Crome steel bumpers and red step side
She has a large time in a large machine.
Man I wonder how she gets up in that thing.
Cast a big showdow, sitting in the sun.
She's got it reved up, rocking, ready to run
And someday soon, I'm gonna climb right up and take a little ride in her big ol' truck.
She's got bucket seats, fully customized.
"In Your Wildest Dreams" painted on the side.
It was built to run, she was built to show.
She's got a Haggard hit playing on the stereo.

Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You
Day by day, we let love just walk away,
And I'll be the first to say,
I was glad to see it go and day by day,
Ever since you went away,
I'm finding I'm still missing you,
And I just got to know.
Does that blue moon,
Ever shine on you,
I wanna hold you close to me,
And feel just like it used to be and
Baby, if you feel like I do,
You can come to me,
Does that blue moon,
Ever shine on you?
On my mind, you were right there all the time,
I could search and never find someone,
That does me like you do,
Here's the part, where I'm giving you my heart,
I was a fool to let you go,
Girl I just got to know.
Does that blue moon,
Ever shine on you,
I wanna hold you close to me,
And feel just like it used to be and
Baby, if you feel like I do,
You can come to me,
Does that blue moon,
Ever shine on you?
Night after night, I look to the stars,
Wondering where you might be,
And I've thought to myself,
Is that very same moon,
Shining on you like it's shining on me?
Does that blue moon,
Ever shine on you,
I wanna hold you close to me,
And feel just like it used to be and
Baby, if you feel like I do,
You can come to me,
Does that blue moon,
Ever shine on you?
And I'll be the first to say,
I was glad to see it go and day by day,

A Womans Touch
Lately I've been lookin' through the windows of my soul
And I can see there's not much left to hold
Just an empty space surrounded by the pieces of
A badly broken heart that's forgotten how to love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
When I look in the mirror, the only thing I see
Are traces of the man I used to be
Late at night I hear it, it cannot be denied
A lonely voice is crying out from somewhere deep inside
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
Yeah, its rough and ragged edges
Sure could sure some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
What my poor heart needs is a woman's touch
A woman's touch
And I can see there's not much left to hold
Just an empty space surrounded by the pieces of
A badly broken heart that's forgotten how to love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a woman's touch
When I look in the mirror, the only thing I see

What my poor heart needs is a woman's touch
A woman's touch

Me Too
If i send you roses for no reason at all
If,out of the blue,i stop and give you a call
Once in a while,it's breakfast in bed
And then pull the covers back up over our heads
If i call in sick just to stay home with you
I want you to know why i do what i do
It's my way of sayin' what i can't express
But i want you to know,girl,i'm doin' my best
(CHORUS)
Oh,i'm just a man,that's the way i was made
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid,but it won't go undone
So when those three little words come so easy to you
I hope you know what i mean when i say,me too
If you should wake up and catch me watchin' you sleep
And i break the silence by kissin' your cheek
If i whisper somethin'you don't understand
Don't make me repeat it,i don't know if i can
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Me too,me too,hope you know what i mean when i say
Me too,me too
If,out of the blue,i stop and give you a call
Once in a while,it's breakfast in bed
And then pull the covers back up over our heads
If i call in sick just to stay home with you
I want you to know why i do what i do
It's my way of sayin' what i can't express
But i want you to know,girl,i'm doin' my best
(CHORUS)
Oh,i'm just a man,that's the way i was made
I'm not too good at sayin' what you need me to say
It's always right there on the tip of my tongue
It might go unsaid,but it won't go undone

I hope you know what i mean when i say,me too
If you should wake up and catch me watchin' you sleep
And i break the silence by kissin' your cheek
If i whisper somethin'you don't understand
Don't make me repeat it,i don't know if i can
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Me too,me too,hope you know what i mean when i say
Me too,me too

We Were In Love
(Allen Shamblin/Chuck Cannon)
If I could invent a time machine
Then maybe we`d both be seventeen
Cruisin' in my first car
And actin` like movie stars on Friday night
Do you remember those Friday nights?
We were a rock, ready to roll
There was a fire, down in our souls
And all the whole world had to stand still
Then turn around us, `cause that was the deal
And oh how those nights went flowing like wine
When I was all yours and you were all mine
And we were in love, yeah we were in love
I can still see you when I sleep
There is a picture I still keep
You with your hair in the wind
And me with that crazy grin under summer skies
When dreams where too young to die
We were a rock, ready to roll
There was a fire, down in our souls
And all the whole world had to stand still
Then turn around us, 'cause that was the deal
And oh how those nights went flowing like wine
When I was all yours and you were all mine
And we were in love
Oh I know, I know it sounds crazy but baby you're still the one
So let`s find a way to bring back the days when our hearts were forever young
We were a rock, ready to roll
There was a fire, down in our souls
And all the whole world had to stand still
Then turn around us, 'cause that was the deal
And oh how those nights went flowing like wine
When I was all yours and you were all mine
And we were in love, yeah we were in love
Oh we were in love, girl we were in love
If I could invent a time machine
Then maybe we`d both be seventeen
Cruisin' in my first car
And actin` like movie stars on Friday night
Do you remember those Friday nights?
We were a rock, ready to roll
There was a fire, down in our souls
And all the whole world had to stand still
Then turn around us, `cause that was the deal
And oh how those nights went flowing like wine
When I was all yours and you were all mine
And we were in love, yeah we were in love
I can still see you when I sleep
There is a picture I still keep
You with your hair in the wind
And me with that crazy grin under summer skies
When dreams where too young to die

Im So Happy I Cant Stop Crying
(Toby Keith & Sting)
Seven weeks have passed now since she left me,
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime
She says, "are you o.k? I was worried about you.
"Can you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happy."
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
I saw a friend of mine. he said, "I was worried about you
I heard she had another man, I wondered how you felt about I
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
Saw my lawyer, Mr. good news, he got me
Joint custody and legal separation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears
I took a walk alone last night.
I looked up at the stars
To try to find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me, I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile.
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected
The park is full of sunday fathers, and melted ice cream
We try to do the best, within the givin time
A kid should be with his mother, everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes?
I saw that friend of mine, he said, "you look different somehow."
I said, "everybody's got to leave this darkness sometime."
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying,
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears

Dream Walkin
(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)
She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle
On a table beside my bed
With a short little note that said I had a good time
It was written in lipstick red
She didn't sign her name I wonder
If that a little secret that she keeps
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep
Dream walkin', pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now, I gotta know how this dream ends
She took my new sunglasses and my old jean jacket
And she never even bothered to ask
You could say I haven't seen her since late last summer
But every night she comes back
Just like smoke through the keyhole
She slips in so silently
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep
Dream walkin', pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin' I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
Ooo... there's a thin line between dreams and memories
I'll be losin' my mind 'till she comes back to me
Dream walkin', pillow talkin'
She's callin' my name again
Day's breakin I ain't wakin' up, I'm sleepin' in
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
I'm on a roll now I gotta know how this dream ends
She's walkin' around in my sleep
She's walkin' around in my sleep
She left a yellow rose and a long neck bottle
On a table beside my bed
With a short little note that said I had a good time
It was written in lipstick red
She didn't sign her name I wonder
If that a little secret that she keeps
Ooo... she's walkin' around in my sleep

Getcha Some
GETCHA SOME
Written by: Chuck Cannon & Toby Keith
Sung by: Toby Keith
Album: Toby Keith-Greatest Hits, Vol. 1-1998
Well boy meets girl and it's a good bet,
Girl's gonna play a little hard to get.
But they both got the same thing on their mind.
Ain't that the way that the world goes round?
Don't it get you up, get you down?
It gets you walkin' around with a flashlight tryin' to find,
Love!
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some,
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, Love!
Then boy sees girl with another guy.
What he wouldn't give just to catch her eye
'Cause man she is so hot.
But you can't compete with a superstar.
He's got a big old house and little red car.
And what you need is the one thing you ain't got?
Money!
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some,
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, Money!
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some,
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, Yeah!
Then God smiles down from up above.
The money rolls in and they fall in love.
From the outside lookin' in it's a dream come true.
But as time goes by somethin' turns up missin'.
There's not enough huggin' and not enough kissin'.
Before to long they better do what they gotta do.
You know!
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some,
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, Babies!
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some, gotta getcha some,
Ooo-ooo, gotta getcha some, Yeah!
You know curtain climbers, and rugrats, and tricycle motors,
It don't matter what you call ,em.
You gotta have a whole house full of 'em.
Ain't nothin' in the world like youngins.
Getcha some!

How Do You Like Me Now?!
Yeah, I was always the crazy one
Broke into the stadium
And I wrote your number on the 50 yard line
You were always the perfect one
And a valedictorian so
Under your number I wrote "call for a good time"
I only wanted to get your attention
But you overlooked me somehow
Besides you had too many boyfriends to mention
And I played my guitar too loud
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now?
Now that I'm on my way?
You still think I'm crazy
Standing here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?
When I took off to Tennessee
I heard that you made fun of me
Never imagined I'd make it this far
Then you married into money girl
Ain't it a cruel and funny world?
He took your dreams and he tore them apart
He never comes home
And you're always alone
And your kids hear you cry down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin'
Who could that be singin'
It's me baby, with your wake up call!
How do you like me now?
How do you like me now?
Now that I'm on my way?
You still think I'm crazy
Standin' here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now, yeah
How do you like me now?
Now that I'm on my way?
You still think I'm crazy
Standin' here today?
I couldn't make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?
Tell me baby
I will preach on
Broke into the stadium

Country Comes To Town
Well the weatherman said it might storm today
I gotta hit the field
Gotta bail some hay
And I can't let it rain on my daddy's farm
Til I get it all stacked up high in the barn
And I'm gonna call my baby
She's been waiting on me
She lives down town on Sycamore Street
And the wheels on the black top
A startin' to whine
As I pass that Oklahoma City limit sign
I'm a hayseed
And a plow boy
I'm a farm kid
And a cowboy
I'm a roughneck
My daddy was a roughneck too
I run around with hillbilly girls
The weekend sits on my hillbilly world
You better be ready when the sun goes down
That's when country comes to town
Well her Daddy said child you better let him be
Well I don't like him and he sire don't like me
Momma just says ya'll have a little fun
Ain't doin' nothing me and papa ain't done
Open up the door to my pick-up truck
And my baby jumps in and she fires it up
And she gives me a kiss
As I crawl in
We've been waiting all week for a weekend
I'm a hayseed
And a plow boy
I'm a farm kid
And a cowboy
I'm a roughneck
My daddy was a roughneck too
I run around with hillbilly girls
The weekend sits on my hillbilly world
You better be ready when the sun goes down
That's when country comes to town
Yeah it's true I run around with hillbilly girls
The weekend sits on my hillbilly world
You better be ready when the sun goes down
Cause that's when country comes to town
Here I come
I gotta hit the field
Gotta bail some hay
And I can't let it rain on my daddy's farm
Til I get it all stacked up high in the barn
And I'm gonna call my baby

And the wheels on the black top

You Shouldnt Kiss Me Like This
I got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time
There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around
They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
And We'll get lost on this dance floor

Im Just Talkin About Tonight
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people
who might reach a little understanding.
I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven
with whether we're wrong or we're right.
I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
You were sitting on your bar stool
talking to some fool who
didn't have a clue.
I guess he couldn't see
you were looking right at me
cause I was looking at you too.
Then it's "do you wanna dance",
"have we ever met"
You said "hold your horses boy
I ain't that easy to get"
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.
That would be too demanding.
I'm just talkin bout two lonely people

I'm not talkin bout knocking out heaven

I'm not talkin bout hooking up and hanging out.
I'm just talkin bout tonight.
She said "I only take it slow.
By now you oughta know
that I ain't digging this.
If we can start as friends
the weekend just might end
with a little kiss."
She said "I'm a lady looking
for a man in my life
who will make a good husband.
I'll make a good wife."
Heeheeeasy now.
Well, I'm not talkin bout locking down forever, baby.

We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about meeeeee (me,me,me,me-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me-background singers)
We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, bout your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me (me,me,me,me- background singers)
I wanna talk about meeeeeeee (me,me- background singers)
(I wanna talk about me- background singers)mmmm me me me me

You you you you you you you you you you you you you

I like talking about you, you, you, you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about meeeeeeee (me,me,me,me-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me,-background singers)
I wanna talk about me (me,me,me,me,me,me-background singers)
Oh me!

My List
Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today
Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door
I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set
There's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet
Go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin', that's the next thing on my list
Wouldn't change the course of fate but cuttin' the grass just had to wait
'Cause I've got more important things like pushin' my kid on the backyard swing
I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave
So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today
Like go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
It's time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin', that's the next thing on my list
Raise a little hell, laugh 'til it hurts
Put an extra five in the plate at church
Call up my folks just to chat
It's time that I make time for that
Stay up late, then oversleep
Show her what she means to me
Catch up on all the things I've always missed
Just start livin', that's the next thing on my list
Under an old brass paperweight
Is my list of things to do today
Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door
I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set
There's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet
Go for a walk, say a little prayer
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch

Wade the shore and cast a line
Look up a long lost friend of mine

American girls and American guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard
'Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free
Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the fourth of July
Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue
Oh, and justice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way
Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue
Oh-oh, of the red, white and blue
Oh-oh, of my red, white and blue

Whos Your Daddy?
Here you come knockin' on my door baby
Tell me what you got on your mind
I guess those college boys all went home for the summertime
And you're lookin' right, lookin' good, lookin' like a woman should
So why is it so hard to find
A place to lay your pretty little head down once in a while
You run on a little tough luck baby
Don't you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for you
You know I got it
Come and get it
Who's your daddy, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your friend?
And who's the one guy that you come runnin' to
When your lovelife starts tumblin'?
I got the money if you got the honey
Let's cut a deal let's make a plan
Who's your daddy, who's your baby?
Who's your buddy, who's your man?
You might've run on a little tough luck baby
Don't you sweat it
Everything is waiting inside for you
You know I got it
So come and get it

Beer For My Horses
Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didn't get too far yeah
They didn't get too far
Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that
(Chorus)
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down 'cause
(Chorus x2)

I Love This Bar
(Toby Keith/Scott Emerich)
We got winners,
We got losers,
Chain smokers and boozers,
We got yuppies,
We got bikers,
We got thirsty hitchhikers.
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars.
Mmmm, I love this bar.
We got cowboys,
We got truckers,
Broken-hearted fools and suckers,
We got hustlers,
We got fighters,
Early birds and all-nighters,
And the veterans talk about their battle scars.
Mmmm, I love this bar.
Chorus
I love this bar.
It's my kind of place.
Just walkin' through the front door puts a big smile on my face.
It ain't too far.
Come as you are.
Mmmm, I love this bar.
I've seen short skirts,
We got high techs
Blue collar boys and rednecks.
We got lovers, Lotsa lookers,
I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers.
And we like to drink our beer from a Mason jar.
Mmmm, I love this bar...Yes, I do.
Instrumental Interlude
I like my truck.
I like my girl friend.
I like to take her out to dinner.
I like a movie now and then.
But, I love this bar.
It's my kind of place.
Just twirlin' around on the dance floor puts a big smile on my face.
No cover charge.
Come as you are.
Mmmm, I love this bar.
Mmmm, I love this old bar.
We got winners,
We got losers,
Chain smokers and boozers,
We got yuppies,
We got bikers,
We got thirsty hitchhikers.

American Soldier
(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)
I'm just tryin' to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother, everythin' to everyone
Up and at em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit
Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots
I don't do it for money, there's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's, my responsibility
Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be
And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays, and sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door
Hey I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core.
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh and I don't want to die for you, but if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor, cause freedom don't come free.
I'm an American Soldier an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight
American Soldier, I'm and American, Soldier.
An American Soldier an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight

Whiskey Girl
(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)
Don't my baby look good in them blue jeans
Tight on the top with a belly button ring
A little tattoo somewhere in between she only shows to me
Yeah we're goin' out dancin' she's ready tonight
So damn good lookin' boys it ain't even right
And when the bartender says for the lady
What's it gonna be... I tell him man..
She ain't in to wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sipping champagne
No Cuervo, gold margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in tequila
She needs somethin' with a little more edge
And a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl, she's my little whiskey girl
My ragged on the edges girl, ah but I like em rough
Baby got a '69 mustang
Four on the floor and you oughtta hear the pipes ring
I jump behind the wheel and it's a way we go
Hey I drive too fast but she don't care
Blue bandana tied all up in her hair, just sittin there
Singin' every song on the radio
She ain't in to wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose and
She can't stand the thought of sipping champagne
No Cuervo, gold margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in tequila
She needs somethin' with a little more edge
And a little more pain
She's my little whiskey girl, she's my little whiskey girl
My ragged on the edges girl, ah but I like em rough
She's my little whiskey girl, she's my little whiskey girl
My ragged on the edges girl, ah but I like em rough

Stays In Mexico
His name was Steve, her name was Gina
They met at a bar called the Cabo Wabo Cantina
He was an insurance salesman from South Dakota
She was a first grade school teacher Phoenix, Arizona
They started dancing and it got real hot
Then it spilled over into the parking lot
One more tequila they were falling in love
One more's never enough
Don't bite off more than you can chew
There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
What happens down in Mexico
Stays in Mexico
He woke up in the morning and he made a little telephone call
To check on his wife and his kids back at home, in Sioux Falls
She hopped right in the shower with a heavy, heavy mind
He knew it was the first time Gina'd ever crossed that line
They walked down to the beach and started drinking again
Jumped into the ocean for a dirty swim
One more margarita they were falling in love
One more's never enough
Don't bite off more than you can chew
There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go
What happens down in Mexico
Stays in Mexico
Oh, Mexico
Waiting at the bar in the terminal gate
She says, "Steve I've got to go, I'm gonna miss my plane."
He said, "One more tequila before you climb on up."
She said, "One more's never enough."
Don't bite off more than you can chew
There's things down here the devil himself wouldn't do
Just remember when you let it all go

Mockin' bird now
Everybody have you heard

Honkytonk U
My grandmother owned a nightclub on the Arkansas-Oklahoma line
Momma put me on a greyhound, and I went
To stay with her in the summertime
I'd box up those empty long necks and stack'em in the back and make
A hand
Then at night she'd let me sneak out of the kitchen and sit in with the band
Yes, I have sacked some quarterbacks and broke my share of bones along the way
I knew it wouldn't
Last forever, semi-pro always means semi-paid
I started climbin' drillin' rig, I'm oil field trash and
Proud as I can be
Then I took my songs and guitar and sang'em to a man from Tennessee
I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city
Too
I am a red, white and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U
A star can't burn forever, and the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
But the glass wont
Ever be half empty in my optimistic mind
I'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it up and
Play it loud
As long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a honkytonk crowd
I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out ever basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city
Too
Son I'm a red, white, and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U
That's right a red, white, and blue
Blood graduate of honkytonk U
Momma put me on a greyhound, and I went

As Good As I Once Was
She said I've seen you in here before
I said I've been here a time or two
She said hello my name is Bobbi Jo
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight
You're the only cowboy in this place
If your up for a rodeo
I'll put a big Texas smile on your face
I said girls
I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But there was a time
Back in my prime
When I could really lay it down
If you need some love tonight
Then I might have just enough
I ain't as good once was
But I'm as good once, as I ever was
I still hang out with my best friend Dave
I've known him since we were kids at school
Last night he had a few shots
Got in a tight spot
Hustling a game of pool
With a couple of red neck boys
And one great big fat biker man
I heard David yell across the room
Hey Buddy how bout a helping hand
I said Dave
I ain't as good as I once was
My how the years have flown
But there was a time
Back in my prime
When I could really hold my own
But if you want a fight tonight
Guess those boys don't look all that tough
I ain't as good once was
But I'm as good once, as I ever was
I used to be hell on wheels
Back when I was a younger man
Now my body says "Oh, You can't do this boy"
But my pride says "Oh yes you can"
I ain't as good as I once was
That's just the cold, hard truth (huh)
I still throw a few back
Talk a little smack
When I'm feeling bullet proof
So don't double, dog dare me now
Cause I'd have to call your bluff
I ain't as good as I once once was
But I'm as good once, as I ever was
May not be good as I once was
But I'm as good once, as I ever was
I said I've been here a time or two
She said hello my name is Bobbi Jo
Meet my twin sister Betty Lou
And we're both feeling kinda wild tonight

Big Blue Note
See that big blue note,
Over there on the counter?
You don't wanna read that thing, man,
It's a real get-you-downer.
But don't you dare say nothin' else,
Bad about her: she's gone.
No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away,
'Cause tonight, I might need it.
It gets real lonely around here at night some times,
An' I have to read read it.
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town,
They won't believe that she's gone.
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted.
All the man that she'll ever need.
I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished.
An' the only thing she left behind for me:
Is this big blue note,
Folded up in my pocket.
Yeah, don't laugh: it's been two months;
I still got it.
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice,
Just to make sure I ain't forgot that she's gone.
You know, my psychiatrist said:
"Tell me, what do you see,
"When you look at these inkspots,
"Of, er, reds, yellows an' greens?"
You know, I looked at 'em all,
But they all looked to me like big blue notes.
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted.
All the man that she'll ever need.
I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished.
An' the only thing that's left to do for me:
Is stand high on this cliff,
Overlooking the sea.
With my big blue notepaper aeroplane,
That I just set free.
An' I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes,
An' if it don't come back to me:
You guessed it: she's gone.
Crash landing.
Bye bye, baby.

Get Drunk And Be Somebody
Yeah the big boss man, he likes to crack that whip
I ain't nothing but a number on his timecard slip,
I give him 40 hours and a piece of my soul,
Puts me somewhere at the bottom of his totem pole,
Hell I don't even think he knows my name...
(Chorus)
Well all week long I'm a real nobody,
But I just punched out and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
I'm gonna get drunk and be somebody
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
My baby cuts hair at a beauty boutique,
Just blowin' and goin' till she's dead on her feet,
They walk right in and sit right down,
She gives them what they want and then she spins them around,
Hey I don't think they even know her name...
(Chorus)
All week long she's a real nobody,
But I just picked her up and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
Baby lets get drunk and be somebody
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
We're just average people, in an everyday bar,
Driving from work in our ordinary cars,
And I like to come here with the regular Joes,
Drink all you want, be the star of the show
(Chorus)
All week long a bunch of real nobodies,
But we just punched out and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
People lets get drunk (lets get drunk!)
All week long we're some real nobodies,
But we just punched out and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
People lets get drunk and be somebody
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I ain't nothing but a number on his timecard slip,

A Little Too Late
It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone
A little too tired of this hanging on
So I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you, baby
It's a little too late
No, I don't want to want to talk about
What we can do about us anymore
Only time you and me wasting
Is the time it takes to walk right out that door
Yeah, talk about water under the bridge
You should know by now, girl, that's all this is
It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone
A little too tired of just hanging on
I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you, baby
It's a little too late
There was a time this heart of mine
Would take you back every time
Don't you know
It's been two packs of cigarettes
A sleepless night, a nervous wreck, a day ago
Now you ain't got no business coming around
I'm closing up shop, shutting us down
It's a little too late
I'm a little too gone
I'm a little too tired of just hanging on
So I'm letting go while I'm still strong enough to
It's got a little too sad
I'm a little too blue
It's a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I'm big time over you, baby
It's a little too late
I'm big time over you, baby

Shes A Hottie
She's sittin' by the water where the river gets wide,
Think about swimming to the other side,
Got a Malboro red, and a can of cold Bud
Toes squished down in the Arkansas mud,
Hey Mister! Yeah, I kissed her.
Son, you ought to see her sister!
You've got to give a little something to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could shake like that,
Hottie, she's a Hottie! Got a smokin' little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She's rockin' that cowboy hat
Hottie, she's a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy, yey Hey hey hey Hey
She's slappin' down a dam
Where the moss gets thick,
Yellin' Yee Haw! she's a redneck chick,
Spittin' in the fire, puttin' on a show,
Struttin like a chicken to the radio,
Hey Slick! She's a hick!
Hmmm and her butter milk lipstick
Give a little something to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could shake like that,
Hottie, she's a Hottie! She got a smokin' little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She's rockin' that cowboy hat
Hottie, she's a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Singing Kayay digidigy,
Kayay digidigy, yey Hey hey hey Hey
Dress her up boys, I took her from the farm,
I brought her downtown, I hung her on my arm,
You've got to give a little somethin' to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could walk like that!
She's a Hottie, she's a Hottie! She's got a smokin' little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
