Came in here to do some drinkin' not what you're thinkin'
A little relexin's all I got on my mind
But I tell by the way you're lookin' at me you are lonely
Honey you picked up a wrong man this time

Cause I got all I can handle at home
I got me a lovin' machine won't leave m

It's not working the way that I planned it
We're no closer than we were at the start
I can find my way to your body
But I can't find my way to your heart

Are we making love or just making friends
Are we holding each other or just holding hands
Is this the beginning or i

A long time of loving her good timing man
He's fightin' his future in a hillbilly band
He promisses the good life and a big diamond ring
All she wants is a baby and a sewing machine

Her big old brown eyes they sparkle with love
Nobody knows Lord what she's dreaming of
S

I've finally found a place where i can take it
All this loneliness you left behind.
On a mountain that's no hill for a climber.
Just one step up, sit back and pour the wine.

I climb up on barstool mountain.
High above your world where there's no pain.
And i'm the king o

Like old Dr Pepper sometimes she's misunderstood
And like the Pernal's Chicken boys she's fingelicking good
She knows when I need her and she's always super quit
When I reach to light a cigarette she's there to flick my big

She's my big flicking baby and I want the world to kno

Now I live across town from the only one I love
No woman wants a man that drinks too much
I know she'd take me back again if I could quit for good
Lord knows I'd quit if I could

I'm not holdin' the bottle the bottle's holdin' me
I could win back all I've lost but I'm not fr

Oh I am just a cowboy on my way back to Houston
I used to play the rodeos
But I can't play 'em like I used to

I've given it up I'm layin' it down
I've had enough of being a rodeo clown
So if I see a tear running down my face
Don't ask me why cause cowboys ain't supposed

It was mom and daddy's anniversary
You hugged my mom and kissed my daddy's hand
It had been three years since you left me
And it broke my heart to see you once again

Don't know how you knew I'd stopped drinking
But it was so good to kiss and hold the key
Now that seems

Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous I try it night after night
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas does Fort Worth ever cross your mind

Darling while you're busy burning bridges burn one for me if you get time
Good memories don't fade so easy does Fort Worth eve

You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me, but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one
In such a long, long while
Still I keep

Step by step you been leaving any day now you'll be gone
Leaving me with your mem'ry and I'll miss you for tears to come

And it's killin' me to know that I can't hold you
All the ties that bind have somehow come undone
Maybe someday I will love another but I'll miss you for tea

Tryin' to make a livin' it's harder every day
By the time I see a dollar just another bill to pay
I got a wife and family and the bills are pilin' high
These days it ain't easy for a working man to get by

I can't help but wonder what a man suppose to do
I got those hard bre

I woke up this morning feeling like I never felt before
My head aches my eyes are red and I hurt places I ain't hurt before
Though I don't remember I really don't believe I had a fight
But I've got all the sentence so I guess I had a real good time last night

When I opened my e

Today the midnight oil's all over someone
And those forbidden places aren't forbidden anymore
If my back door could talk it would tell me
That my borrowed angel's been this far before

I just threw my last bottle at the jukebox
When I heard that woman singin' darling Let's G

I never take a drink or go out dancin'
When you live alone that's hard to do
I might miss a chance to find a new love
But I never miss a day missing you

Last night I thought that I had lost your mem'ry
But it turned up this morning good as new
I walk up to find you've b

You'd known so long that you were wrong but still you had your way
You told her lies and alibies and hurt her more each day
But now your conscience bothers you you've reached your journey's end
You're asking me for sympathy I'm sorry for you my friend

You laughed inside each ti

I drove through the park and i searched all the bars
Where i made out with love too many times

It was always so easy to find and unhappy woman
Till i started looking for mine
Some beer drinking devil is holding my angel
And i know what he'll do if he's my kind
It was al

It's a cheatin' situation a stealin' invitation
To take what's not really ours and make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheatin' situation just a cheap imitation
Doin' what we have to do when there's no love at home

There's no use pretending there'll be a happy ending

I've climbed the mountain and looked down on valleys below
I've been everywhere and I've tried everything
So I think that I ought to know
I've sampled the bitter and tasted the sweet
I've turned this ole world inside out
And when it comes down to the bottom line boys
Love

Now the cards are all stacked against me
For reasons I don't understand
And since he's taken my place at your table
Then he'll have to play out my hand

He thinks he knows a winning hand when he steals one
But all too soon another stealer is bound to call
And he'll find
