Bluff Country Paradise

Halfway from my hometown,
There's a valley
For you and I
Cold water streams
Stretch in every direction
Weathered by time
Tucked in between rocky cliffs,
There's an ancient
River and sky
The radio's playing that "Wide Open Spaces"
As we drive
And I'll remember
Bluff country paradise
Move me gently
Like a needle in the groove
Ol' Root River
Whisper softly
Sing that old familiar tune
'Cause I wanna end up in this paradise
With you
Lately I'm dreamin' of leaving this city
All behind
I wanna lay myself in the cornfields
Come July
I can't seem to shake this gut feeling radiating
Deep inside
Get out take some time and find my body
'Cause I'm still alive
And I'm gonna go to
Bluff country paradise
Move me gently
Like a needle in the groove
Ol' Root River
Whisper softly
Sing that old familiar tune
'Cause I wanna end up in this paradise
With you
I always come back to this place
Drift-less, I'll finally escape
'Cause I don't wanna settle down
And work myself into
An early grave
I'd rather run away
Take me home
Bluff country paradise
Move me gently
Like a needle in the groove
Ol' Root River
Whisper softly
Sing that old familiar tune
'Cause I'm gonna end up in this paradise
With you

Boots are burnin on the floor
There's a man in a cowboy hat
He walked right up to me
And then he taught me how to two-step
We got Patsy Cline and Emmylou,
Ol' Waylon and George Jones
The cowboy hipsters all start barkin'
When they hear the Rolling Stones
Mama, I'm singin' at the Eagles Club tonight
I got all dressed up so I could see the city lights
The lipstick and the honky-tonk is everything I am
Turn off that ol' jukebox, baby
Start dancin' to the country band
A man is drinkin' his whiskey straight
There's a beer on the guitar amp
The snap-ups and the bolo ties
And the bouncer with his stamp
Hell, they even got a taxidermied
Loon up on the wall
There's karaoke in the other room
You better chug your alcohol
Oh mama, I'm singin' at the Eagles 34
We don't take requests but we got Haggard's "Swinging Doors"
Well we know we're just Northerners
Livin' for the heartland
Turn off that ol' jukebox, baby
Start dancin' to the country band
It's Cajun night, and the fiddle's playing
There's pitchers full of beer
String of lights, and the curtains red
I'm gonna swing from the chandeliers
They got denim on denim and a midnight pizza
Meat raffle, and a bingo game
Tobacco in the backroom
Reminiscin' 'bout the good ol' days
Oh mama, I'm singin' at the Eagles Club tonight
I got all dressed up so I could see the city lights
Well the lipstick and the honky-tonk is everything I am
Turn off that ol' jukebox, baby
Start dancin' to the country band
Turn off that ol' jukebox, baby
Start dancin' to the country band

Propane & Cigarettes

Got my mind in the gutter and a tank full of gas
I'm movin' like a freight train
Lookin' for a cowboy
And a little of that sweet cocaine
No intention of slowing down
I'm headed for a big night out
I just got out of lockdown
Let's have another round
Let's have another round
Before I hit the ground
Sit down here right next to me
And put your lips on mine
Hey bartender pour the gin
Cause I'm looking so damn fine tonight
I ain't gonna live forever
And bein' bad feels oh so right
If you wanna take a chance
And love me like a man
Saddle up, put on your boots
And let's go as fast as we can
Take a ride with me
Meet me outside this bar
This summer night feels just like the perfect recipe
Light me up you know you can't resist
'Cause I'm like propane and cigarettes
Ya I'm like propane and cigarettes
Hot girl summer, do you know what I mean?
I'm your American pie
Been savin' up all my sins
I been workin' hard from 9 to 5
Bat outta hell, ya know
I'm all jacked up but I'm feelin' right
Next thing that you know I'm gone,
Nobody lives forever
I only came here for a good time
I'm down for whatever
Take a ride with me
Meet me outside this bar
This summer night feels just like the perfect recipe
Light me up you know you can't resist
'Cause I'm like propane and cigarettes
Ya I'm like propane and cigarettes
Take a ride with me
Meet me outside this bar
This summer night feels just like the perfect recipe
Light me up you know you can't resist
Take a ride with me
Meet me outside this bar
This summer night feels just like the perfect recipe
Light me up you know you can't resist
'Cause I'm like propane and cigarettes
Ya I'm like propane and cigarettes
Ya I'm like propane and cigarettes

Surrender to the Night

County road
In my rearview
Driving all night long
Running away
With my wedding dress still on
And the veil just hanging out in the wind
A string of tin cans lay behind
They follow like a memory
And I only surrender to the night
Only surrender to the night
Follow in the glow of a neon sign
I'm giving up on being in love
So I'm leaving you behind
I only surrender to the night
Well, I don't know
My destination
But I'm headed for my name up in the lights
Traded my diamond ring
For gas and a pack of smokes
I guess I'm married to the wide-open road
I couldn't tie the knot quite yet
Something just wasn't right
Now I only surrender to the night
Only surrender to the night
Follow in the glow of a neon sign
I'm giving up on being in love
So I'm leaving you behind
I only surrender to the night
Only surrender to the night
Follow in the glow of a neon sign
I'm giving up on being in love
So I'm leaving you behind
I only surrender to the night
I only surrender to the night
And I only surrender to the night

Revenge
04:40

She was a little girl just the age of 10
Found herself sitting home alone
Only child getting what she wanted
But that night she had to roam
What she saw out there in cold December
Took the breath right out her lungs
Flashing headlights from a Silverado
She saw her mama hold a gun
The day she lost her soul
Her mama's in the promised land
Now she's never gonna say goodbye
Now she wants revenge on these men
Well she grew up to be a pretty woman
Yeah, she'll make you wanna cry
But there's something you don't know about her
Under those soft green eyes
Well the apple don't fall too far now
From her old man's family tree
She's got those killin' premonitions about her
Found herself on a murdering spree
The day she lost her soul
Her mama's in the promised land
Now she's never gonna say goodbye
Now she wants revenge on these men
The day she lost her soul
Her mama's in the promised land
Now she's never gonna say goodbye
Now she wants revenge on these men

My Mind
04:55

Something always happens in my mind
Something always calls to me at closing time
A little voice inside says girl you're on your own
That man you thought you loved was bad you should've known
Home was where I wanted to be
I just couldn't seem to believe
No one really wants me
They just had too much to drink
Every time I lose my mind
It gets a little bit harder to find
And every time you say goodbye
I'm putting my heart on the line
Oo I'm terrified
But it's easier to realize
Look into my mirror and you'll find
Letting go will set you free
Tell yourself that it's all just in your mind
It's the feeling that you're running out of time
Everyone's out having fun, but you've wasted your life
Another Friday night spent with the fear of missing out
He's not gonna text you back, it's over now
Save it for another day
I didn't come around here to play
Feeling so invisible tonight
Every time I lose my mind
It gets a little bit harder to find
And every time you say goodbye
I'm putting my heart on the line
Oo I'm terrified
But it's easier to realize
Look into my mirror and you'll find
Letting go will set you free
Tell yourself that it's all just in your mind

Rhinestone Teardrops
04:40

Shine so bright and say that
Everything's fine
And hide behind the shimmer in those
Emerald eyes
Heart on my sleeve, wrapped in
Pearls and lace
Embroidered like the lines on my
Worn and weary face
Cry rhinestone teardrops
Don't you let them see your pain
Time to get back on that stage again
Behind diamond studded chains
Smile every single night from
Town to town
And I got a broken heart
Heavy is the crown
Of rubies and sapphires
Laid in gilded gold
I got everything I ever wanted
But now I got no soul
Cry rhinestone teardrops
Gotta put that bottle down
Time to get back on that stage again
Laughing like a rodeo clown
Cry rhinestone teardrops
Tell your opalescent lies
Time to get back on that stage again
Let those people fantasize
