Saturday morning Grandma's headed to town
She'd say “Boy, would you like to ride along”
So I'd climb up into the truck and turn the radio way up loud
And the only warning for miles around
That me and Grandma was headed to town
Was a fast moving cloud of dust and some country sounds
We'd roll into town with the windows down
Blasting out a little George Jones
Everybody on the square knew that Grandma was there
If Johnny Cash was on the stereo
There was no doubt in the world, Grandma was a country girl
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked Merle
We'd all pile in the back of Grandpa's Ford
All my cousins and sister and some friends, oh lord
On those Saturday nights when Grandpa played the fiddle and I'd get to sing
Yeah, everybody knew when my family was all
Headed to the dance at the legion hall
With a truck bed full of kids and Grandma singing along
We'd roll into town with the windows down
Blasting out a little George Jones
Everybody on the square knew that Grandma was there
If Johnny Cash was on the stereo
There was no doubt in the world, Grandma was a country girl
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked Merle
Haggard and Jones and Waylon and Willie
Tanya Tucker, Loretta or Conway Twitty
George Strait, Winonna, Grandma really liked 'em all, all, all
She'd roll into town with the windows down
Blasting out a little George Jones
Everybody on the square knew that Grandma was there
If Johnny Cash was on the stereo
There was no doubt in the world, Grandma was a country girl
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked
Grandma liked to play it loud and she really liked
Grandma liked her country music loud and she really liked Merle

I Like A Girl (Who Drives A Truck)
She rolls by with her top down
On that Mercedes her daddy bought her, really goes to town
And it's red and it's shiny and it goes real fast
She blows me a kiss as she rolls past
But I like a girl who drives a truck
I like a girl who like to... watch NASCAR
Yeah, she likes me too and I just can't believe my luck
I like a girl who drives a truck
Those long legs swung out as she opened the door
Oooh, that little black sports car matched the dress that she wore
Well I had to watch the show as she walked by, oh my
She gave me a wink and smile my oh my...
But I like a girl who drives a truck
I like a girl who like to... shoot whiskey
Yeah, she likes me too and I just can't believe my luck
I like a girl who drives a truck
she looked like an angle in that big black four wheel drive
My ol' truck it was all broke down when she asked if I needed a ride
I said “I've seen you around town girl” as we headed down the road
She said “Boy, I seen you too, now how far do wanna go?” Ohhh
But I like a girl who drives a truck
I like a girl who like to... go fishing
Yeah, she likes me too and I just can't believe my luck
I like a girl who drives a truck
I like a girl who drives a truck
I like a girl...

Fishing After Dark
Gonna be a big full moon tonight
The fish'll be biting yeah, that sounds about right
I'll get the tackle and the poles
And get 'em all loaded up in the truck
Do you wanna go fishing after dark
Down by the lake, we'll find a place to park
Cast our lines and watch the bobbers floating out on the waves
Then I'll put my arms around you, hold you tight in the light of this big ol' moon
Can't wait for your kisses, let those fishes run away with the bait
Do you wanna go fishing after dark
I just wanna go fishing after dark
Oh, baby, I'm wishing we were fishing after dark
Got the cooler packed with our favorite brew
And when the sun goes down, girl, here's what I'm thinking we'll do
I'll pack a picnic basket just for us
And then I'm coming to pick you up
Do you wanna go fishing after dark
Down by the lake, we'll find a place to park
Cast our lines and watch the bobbers floating out on the waves
Then I'll put my arms around you, hold you tight in the light of this big ol' moon
Can't wait for your kisses, let those fishes run away with the bait
Do you wanna go fishing after dark
I just wanna go fishing after dark
Oh, baby, I'm wishing we were fishing after dark
Turn the radio down low, to that country station we both know
In the moonlight it'll be just right, what do you say....
Do you wanna go fishing after dark
Down by the lake, we'll find a place to park
Cast our lines and watch the bobbers floating out on the waves
Then I'll put my arms around you, hold you tight in the light of this big ol' moon
Can't wait for your kisses, let those fishes run away with the bait
Do you wanna go fishing after dark
I just wanna go fishing after dark
Oh, baby, I'm wishing we were fishing after dark
Wishing we were fishing
Oh, baby, I'm wishing we were fishing after dark

Froze Over
I was 3 Fireballs down when you walked in
In that little red dress, you know was just made for sin
When we get together it gets outta control
DLSV MA, baby, don't you know
I swore it'd be a cold day before we ever got together again
I guess hell froze over 'cause I woke up here with you
Whiskey & tequila should never mix, like you and I, what did we do
We're a dangerous mixture, there's no defense
Why we're drawn together don't make no sense
Unless hell froze over last night when I saw you
I told myself that I knew better but that became a lie
With two more shots my self control just smiled and waved goodbye
Don't remember exactly what happened next
But from what I recall I'm gonna have regrets
Tribulation and trouble are all I've found whenever you come around
I guess hell froze over 'cause I woke up here with you
Whiskey & tequila should never mix, like you and I, what did we do
We're a dangerous mixture, no defense
Why we're drawn together don't make no sense
Unless hell froze over last night when I saw you
Like Dynamite with gasoline
Like Jose Cuervo with Jim Beam
It's just crazy, crazy, crazy you and me
I guess hell froze over 'cause I woke up here with you
Whiskey & tequila should never mix, like you and I, what did we do
We're a dangerous mixture, no defense
Why we're drawn together don't make no sense
Unless hell froze over last night when I saw you
I guess hell froze over last night when I saw you

Time and Whiskey

Time & Whiskey
Dancing on the edges, life was sharp and crystal clear
When you're young just having fun, running anywhere but here
Living in the moment, you don't see the path you're on
“Til you slow down and look around and see how far off course you've gone
Time & Whiskey
Fade the colors of us to grey
Push the times we have before things went bad
One day further away.
And the whiskey haze and passing days
Dull the hard sharp edges we knew
Time & whiskey, takes me a little bit further from you
Sometimes it's a harsh surprise, when you realize the cost
Of everything you've said and done, adds up to what you've lost
We'd bee burning out this love so fast I guess we burned right through
And all the dreams that I'd been chasing meant finally losing you
Time & Whiskey
Fade the colors of us to grey
Push the times we have before things went bad
One day further away.
And the whiskey haze and passing days
Dull the hard sharp edges we knew
Time & whiskey, takes me a little bit further from you
We'd had a few too many, we had a fight I don't clearly recall
But I woke up with my head on fire, not knowing where you'd gone
But you were gone
You were gone...
Time & Whiskey
Fade the colors of us to grey
Push the times we have before things went bad
One day further away.
And the whiskey haze and passing days
Dull the hard sharp edges we knew
Time & whiskey, takes me a little bit further from you
Time & whiskey, takes me a little bit further from you

Drive All Night
Her license plate said “2fine4u”
On that red Corvette outside the burgers and brew.
As I walked in and I knew it was hers
With that NASCAR jacket and some dangerous curves.
I said “Hey, girl, does that StingRay go fast?”
And she said, “If you want a test drive
You gotta ask me to dance.
I wanna have some fun, you can buy me drinks at the bar
And then, if I still like you, you can drive my car”.
She said,
Do you know how to drive, when to go real fast.
Can you handle the curves, not run outa gas.
How far can you take me before the morning light.
And I said,
Don’t worry baby, I can drive all night.
We closed down the place; she tossed me the keys and said,
“The night is young, don’t take me home yet, please.
We’ve had some laughs, and well, so far you pass.
But before you get behind the wheel, I have to ask”.
Do you know how to drive, when to go real fast.
Can you handle the curves, not run outa gas.
How far can you take me before the morning light.
And I said,
Don’t worry baby, I can drive all night.
Under a dome of stars, we were riding in the cool night air
She looked at me and said, “Baby, I think we’re almost there.
Do you know how to drive, when to go real fast.
Can you handle the curves, not run outa gas.
How far can you take me before the morning light.
And I said,
Don’t worry baby, I can drive all night.
How far can you take me before the morning light.
And I said,
Don’t worry baby, I can drive all night.

Reminders of Tess
I was going out that night, I was looking for my best shirt
When I ran across that dress I gave her, sometime reminders hurt
I didn't think she'd left behind anything but me
Made me stop and realize I never wanted her to leave
I never found what I was looking for
Just reminders of Tess
Just a broken piece of my life I'm trying to forget
Sometimes it comes back painfully when I've forgotten, more or less
I never found what I was looking for
Just reminders of Tess
I went out to find some fun at a little club in town
I was making conversation with someone new I'd found
But I saw someone, it looked just like Tess and the memories dragged me down
I'm trying to live my life again, but my heart keeps hanging on
I never found what I was looking for
Just reminders of Tess
Just a broken piece of my life I'm trying to forget
Sometimes it comes back painfully when I've forgotten, more or less
I never found what I was looking for
Just reminders of Tess
I've tried to let her memory go, but every now and then
I think about how it might have been... How can I pretend
I never found what I was looking for
Just reminders of Tess
Just a broken piece of my life I'm trying to forget
Sometimes it comes back painfully when I've forgotten, more or less
I never found what I was looking for
Just reminders of Tess

Just Like Scarlet and Rhett
There's a hole in the wall
Loving you ain't been easy at all
A battle was fought, but nobody won
But we're still in love through the damage we've done
And just like Scarlet and Rhett
When they danced at the ball
When I'm holding you nothing matters at all
I've seen the pain in your eyes
We hurt each other and yet
We can't help staying in love
Like Scarlet and Rhett
You told me to go
But that's not what you want, girl, I know
So I'll hold you tight, 'cause sometimes that's just enough
To heal the anger and hurt of things we both said and done
And just like Scarlet and Rhett
When they danced at the ball
When I'm holding you nothing matters at all
I've seen the pain in your eyes
We hurt each other and yet
We can't help staying in love
Like Scarlet and Rhett
We fight to build it up, then we fight and burn it down
Seems like life or death, and sometimes love is all that's left
And just like Scarlet and Rhett
When they danced at the ball
When I'm holding you nothing matters at all
I've seen the pain in your eyes
We hurt each other and yet
We can't help staying in love
Like Scarlet and Rhett

How Far

How Far
The dust on this windshield reminds me
Of all the miles that separate your heart from mine
And it doesn’t matter how far I go,
Thoughts of you follow me. You’re still on my mind
How far do I have to go?
To leave you behind, there’s just no way to know
Just what I’ll have to do
So I won’t be haunted by this love I seem to hold on to
No matter what road I find, each highway mile brings you to mind
Even though it hurts me so, baby, how far do I have to go?
This concrete highway is still hot tonight
As I leave another empty love behind
And the night seems to whisper your name
Even holding someone new, thoughts of you still remain
How far do I have to go?
To leave you behind, there’s just no way to know
Just what I’ll have to do
So I won’t be haunted by this love I seem to hold on to
No matter what road I find, each highway mile brings you to mind
Even though it hurts me so, baby, how far do I have to go?
You’re still driving me insane
But on this lonely road, well there’s just me to blame
How far do I have to go?
To leave you behind, there’s just no way to know
Just what I’ll have to do
So I won’t be haunted by this love I seem to hold on to
No matter what road I find, each highway mile brings you to mind
Even though you hurt me so, baby, how far do I have to go?

Cold Hard Ride
I don't mind the cold, but it's been snowing all day
When you told me it was over, I just rode away
Now I'm out here alone, nothing left but my pride
And there's nowhere to hide from all the regrets that led up to goodbye
And it's a cold, hard ride
'Cross these back roads and fields
Never thought that I'd lose you
But now I know how it feels
So lost without your love
Well it hurts deep inside
Anyway that I'm going … It's a cold, hard ride
I don't carry your picture, 'cause I still see you face
When I remember the angry words we both said in haste
Was I too unforgiving, why did you have to lie
When it's all said and done, how quickly love dies
And it's a cold, hard ride
'Cross these back roads and fields
Never thought that I'd lose you
But now I know how it feels
So lost without your love
Well it hurts deep inside
Anyway that I'm going … It's a cold, hard ride
Out here all alone I'm rode out and tired
Don't know how I'll go on without your love by my side
And it's a cold, hard ride
'Cross these back roads and fields
Never thought that I'd lose you
But now I know how it feels
So lost without your love
Well it hurts deep inside
Anyway that I'm going … It's a cold, hard ride
Anyway that I'm going … It's a cold, hard ride

None Touched My Heart
The last ones at the party where just leaving
I walked them to the door and said “goodbye”
I closed the door and realized how empty
This house has been without you in my life
You know there've been others try to save me
But somehow you did what no one else could do
'Cause out of all the others in my life who were just passing through
None touched my heart
Only you...
I was left alone to think about us
Again I'll go to bed without you
My friends they try and help me not remember
But sometimes it doesn't matter, I just do
You know there've been others try to save me
But somehow you did what no one else could do
'Cause out of all the others in my life who were just passing through
None touched my heart
Only you...
Tonight it would have been so nice to have you by my side
But you had to follow your dreams, and I had to follow mine
You know there've been others try to save me
But somehow you did what no one else could do
'Cause out of all the others in my life who were just passing through
None touched my heart
Only you...
'Cause out of all the others in my life they were just passing through
None touched my heart
Only you...

Harley, Jack and Me
Pulled on my boots, got packed, cause it was time
Her life could not contain the restless part of mine
I'll stop by for a bottle of black label as I'm headed out of town
Got some gas in my bike, no destination past the road I'm headed down.
Now I'm watching the sunset fade on me
Drinking, keeping this campfire company
Alone tonight here in the desert it's her face I see
With tears in her eyes because I'm gone
Riding out in the morning I'll move on
Left with nothing to lose, freedom's all you really keep
Here I am, it's just my Harley, Jack and me
She almost found her way into my heart this time
Never thought that it would last, she wasn't really mine
I don't want to break her heart but I've been here far too long
She won't understand all of the reasons why I'm leaving now
Now I'm watching the sunset fade on me
Drinking, keeping this campfire company
Alone tonight here in the desert it's her face I see
With tears in her eyes because I'm gone
Riding out in the morning I'll move on
Left with nothing to lose, freedom's all you get to keep
Here I am, it's just my Harley, Jack and me
Sipping on this whiskey might just help me sleep
Tried to hold on for a while, but she wasn't mine to keep
Now I'm watching the sunset fade on me
Drinking, keeping this campfire company
Alone tonight here in the desert it's her face I see
With tears in her eyes because I'm gone
Riding out in the morning I'll move on
Left with nothing to lose, freedom's all you really keep
Here I am, it's just my Harley, Jack and me
In the end, it's just my Harley, Jack and me

seems to me to have been a part of the stories all along. For the traveler, there's always the familiar, restless pull...the long road that awaits and yet flows into the past.
