Different Things Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
The first thing that I reach for every morning
Is a pack of smokes laying by my bed
Yes, I've read the surgeon general's warning
But that don't take the warning out of them
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
The last thing mama reached for every Sunday
Was my mortal soul as she walked out the door
She'd say, boy you're gonna need Him someday
But I wanted to sleep off the night before
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
What I want is to give up, just let go
And walk out on us
But what I need is to see this through
Oh, and find a way back to you
The last thing that I reach for every evening
Is a woman who I can't reach anymore
Time is worn the new off of the feeling
And right now I want to just walk out the door
But what I want and what I need
Have always been different things
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
Is a pack of smokes laying by my bed
Yes, I've read the surgeon general's warning
But that don't take the warning out of them
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
The last thing mama reached for every Sunday
Was my mortal soul as she walked out the door
She'd say, boy you're gonna need Him someday
But I wanted to sleep off the night before
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
What I want is to give up, just let go
And walk out on us
But what I need is to see this through
Oh, and find a way back to you
The last thing that I reach for every evening
Is a woman who I can't reach anymore
Time is worn the new off of the feeling
And right now I want to just walk out the door
But what I want and what I need
Have always been different things
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
The More I Feel Like Rockin' Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I was seventeen, just getting started
Every weekend was a non-stop party
Chasing girls and cruising town
It was nightclubs all through my 20's
And 3a.m. breakfast at Denny's
Back then I thought by now
I'd be slowing down
But the older I get the more I feel like rockin
I'm not talking about sitting in a chair on the frontporch watching
I'm just now coming up over the hill and I got no plans of stopping
Cause the old I get the more I feel like rockin
Used to think that life stopped at thirty
Had to get all your fun in early while you still had the chance
But when thirty comes, fourty looks younger
Life is sweet and I still feel the hunger
And I still wanna dance, so crank up the band
Cause the older I get the more I feel like rockin
I'm not talking about sitting in a chair on the frontporch watching
I'm just now coming up over the hill and I got no plans of stopping
Cause the old I get the more I feel like rockin
Yes, I do
Yeah, I'm just now coming up over the hill and I got no plans of stopping
Cause the old I get the more I feel like rocking
I feel like rocking, gotta keep on rocking
Every weekend was a non-stop party
Chasing girls and cruising town
It was nightclubs all through my 20's
And 3a.m. breakfast at Denny's
Back then I thought by now
I'd be slowing down
But the older I get the more I feel like rockin
I'm not talking about sitting in a chair on the frontporch watching
I'm just now coming up over the hill and I got no plans of stopping
Cause the old I get the more I feel like rockin
Used to think that life stopped at thirty
Had to get all your fun in early while you still had the chance
But when thirty comes, fourty looks younger
Life is sweet and I still feel the hunger
And I still wanna dance, so crank up the band
Cause the older I get the more I feel like rockin
I'm not talking about sitting in a chair on the frontporch watching
I'm just now coming up over the hill and I got no plans of stopping
Cause the old I get the more I feel like rockin
Yes, I do
Yeah, I'm just now coming up over the hill and I got no plans of stopping
Cause the old I get the more I feel like rocking
I feel like rocking, gotta keep on rocking
She Was Smart Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I showered her in diamonds
Sprinkled her in gold
And all the red roses she could hold
Making sure no compliment was spared
Setting in the back of a black limosine
I flashed my charm and a whole lotta green
But that didn't get me anywhere
Now when people ask me why she broke my heart
How she went and tore a good thing apart
I tell em that little girl was smart
Yes, she was smart
Well, she knew I wasn't in love as I looked
And I was still sitting on a little black book
With a few more pages I was working on
Yeah, she had me pegged from my opening line
Hoping I might prove her wrong over time
A girl like that only waits so long
Now when people ask me why she broke my heart
How she went and tore a good thing apart
I tell em that little girl was smart
Yes, she was smart
Now when I ain't sowing my oats no more
She's the kinda girl I'll be looking for
I tell you that little girl was smart
And now when people ask me why she broke my heart
How she went and tore a good thing apart
I tell em that little girl was smart
Yeah, she was smart
Sprinkled her in gold
And all the red roses she could hold
Making sure no compliment was spared
Setting in the back of a black limosine
I flashed my charm and a whole lotta green
But that didn't get me anywhere
Now when people ask me why she broke my heart
How she went and tore a good thing apart
I tell em that little girl was smart
Yes, she was smart
Well, she knew I wasn't in love as I looked
And I was still sitting on a little black book
With a few more pages I was working on
Yeah, she had me pegged from my opening line
Hoping I might prove her wrong over time
A girl like that only waits so long
Now when people ask me why she broke my heart
How she went and tore a good thing apart
I tell em that little girl was smart
Yes, she was smart
Now when I ain't sowing my oats no more
She's the kinda girl I'll be looking for
I tell you that little girl was smart
And now when people ask me why she broke my heart
How she went and tore a good thing apart
I tell em that little girl was smart
Yeah, she was smart
A Cowboy And A Dancer Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I was thumbing my way outta San Antone
Saddle on my back, my Raybans on
A dusty old cowboy hat, scuffed up jeans
When a tourqoise Elderado with horns on the hood
Slowed down to help me out like I hoped someone would
She was peeling an apple, driving with one
She said, hey cowboy, where's your horse
I said, I lost everything but this saddle in my second divorce
And if you don't mind, I'll keep the rest to myself
She said she'd put herself through college wearing high heels
Dancing every night for a garter belt full of bills
Just wasn't the broadway she dreamed about
And if I didn't mind, she'd keep the rest to herself
A cowboy and a dancer
Leaving Texas in the rearview mirror
Searching for some answers
A cowboy and a dancer
By the time we reached the Arizona line
We were peaking at each other out of the corner of our eyes
The sun was setting low and love was on the wind
We stopped in Tuscan to get some sleep
Ended up sharing the backseat to catch a couple of winks
And if you don't mind, I'll keep the rest to myself
A cowboy and a dancer
Leaving Texas in the rearview mirror
Searching for some answers
A cowboy and a dancer
We were holding hands as we reached the California coast
A new wind in our sails we're making the most
So the story goes, all's well that ends well
And if you don't mind, I'll keep the rest to myself
I was thumbing my way outta San Antone
Saddle on my back, my Raybans on
A dusty old cowboy hat, scuffed up jeans
When a tourqoise Elderado with horns on the hood
Slowed down to help me out like I hoped someone would
She was peeling an apple, driving with one
She said, hey cowboy, where's your horse
I said, I lost everything but this saddle in my second divorce
And if you don't mind, I'll keep the rest to myself
She said she'd put herself through college wearing high heels
Dancing every night for a garter belt full of bills
Just wasn't the broadway she dreamed about
And if I didn't mind, she'd keep the rest to herself
A cowboy and a dancer
Leaving Texas in the rearview mirror
Searching for some answers
A cowboy and a dancer
By the time we reached the Arizona line
We were peaking at each other out of the corner of our eyes
The sun was setting low and love was on the wind
We stopped in Tuscan to get some sleep
Ended up sharing the backseat to catch a couple of winks
And if you don't mind, I'll keep the rest to myself
A cowboy and a dancer
Leaving Texas in the rearview mirror
Searching for some answers
A cowboy and a dancer
We were holding hands as we reached the California coast
A new wind in our sails we're making the most
So the story goes, all's well that ends well
And if you don't mind, I'll keep the rest to myself
I was thumbing my way outta San Antone
The Biggest Thing In Texas Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
There's never been a Texan who's ever been outdone
He'll outbig the biggest for spite or for fun
He's got bigger tractors and bigger trucks
Bigger and of course bigger bucks
But pride is the biggest thing in Texas
It's the only thing bigger than the land that we love
And we got big down to the letter, we ain't saying we're no better
It just seems like out in Texas there's more to be proud of
Broke or broken won't show in his eyes
He'll never back down and he'll never say die
See he's naturally a Texan the day he is born
But pride is the biggest thing in Texas
It's the only thing bigger than the land that we love
And we got big down to the letter, we ain't saying we're no better
It just seems like out in Texas there's more to be proud of
If you can't love it or fight it
Rope it or ride it, shoot it or sip it
What the hell good is it
There's never been a Texan who's ever been outdone
He'll outbig the biggest for spite or for fun
He's got bigger tractors and bigger trucks
Bigger and of course bigger bucks
But pride is the biggest thing in Texas
It's the only thing bigger than the land that we love
And we got big down to the letter, we ain't saying we're no better
It just seems like out in Texas there's more to be proud of
Broke or broken won't show in his eyes
He'll never back down and he'll never say die
See he's naturally a Texan the day he is born
Pride is the biggest thing in Texas
It's the only thing bigger than the land that we love
And we got big down to the letter, we ain't saying we're no better
It just seems like out in Texas there's more to be proud of
Yes, it just seems like out in Texas there's more to be proud of
He'll outbig the biggest for spite or for fun
He's got bigger tractors and bigger trucks
Bigger and of course bigger bucks
But pride is the biggest thing in Texas
It's the only thing bigger than the land that we love
And we got big down to the letter, we ain't saying we're no better
It just seems like out in Texas there's more to be proud of
Broke or broken won't show in his eyes

Yes, it just seems like out in Texas there's more to be proud of
Just One Woman Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
When Roy was a young man his friends used to tell all about
The girls they ran with and he'd just shake his head
And they'd get to laughing and asking
Well, Roy, just how many girls you loving on these days
And he'd turn three shades of red
But if you ask him now he'll tell you
Boy, this old man's been around
And I ain't one to brag but you'd be hard pressed
to find too many other men around this here town
That's loved the way I have
Just one woman
One amazing, worth the waiting
Angel from above
Just one woman is all I've ever loved
Well, I asked him once, Roy, don't you think by now
She'd have wanted you to move on
He said, no, not yet
Cause once a man's stared into the eyes
Of the most beautiful woman God ever made
Well, that's something an old man don't forget
But boy, don't you worry about me none
My time here's nearly done and I know when I'm gone
These old bones are gonna fly and I'll be reaching for the sky
And I'll be holding on
Just one woman
One amazing, worth the waiting
Angel from above
Just one woman
Is all I've ever loved
Just one woman
One amazing, worth the waiting
Angel from above
Just one woman
It's all I've ever loved
She's all I ever loved
The girls they ran with and he'd just shake his head
And they'd get to laughing and asking
Well, Roy, just how many girls you loving on these days
And he'd turn three shades of red
But if you ask him now he'll tell you
Boy, this old man's been around
And I ain't one to brag but you'd be hard pressed
to find too many other men around this here town
That's loved the way I have

Well, that's something an old man don't forget
But boy, don't you worry about me none
My time here's nearly done and I know when I'm gone
These old bones are gonna fly and I'll be reaching for the sky
And I'll be holding on

Just one woman

Saltwater Cowboy Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I'm lookin' like a lobster wearin' flipflops and a stetson
Guess that's why they call it fishin' instead of catchin'
Cause I ain't had a single bite all day
But I caught a buzz and ain't no limit to tangeray
Ain't quite sure how I wound up way down here
it's a long haul to ropes and sails from ropin' steers
ain't gonna worry bout that just gonna have some fun
Got a be one fish down there dumber than I am drunk
It ain't that far from Waco to Galviston
I'm what you get when you mix a Prairie dog with an old beach bum
Cow chips, BS, and ships ahoy I'm a saltwater cowboy
There's a tiki party down the beach about a mile or two
Where they're singin' with Jimmy and toastin to Chris LeDoux
And if it weren't for Captain Morgan steerin' this ship
I might untie that rope and back her on up outta this
It ain't that far from Waco to Galviston
I'm what you get when you mix a Prairie dog with an old beach bum
Cow chips, BS, and ships ahoy I'm a saltwater cowboy
If this bottle goes overboard you'd better wish me luck
Cause I'm afraid of sharks but I'm terrified of soberin' up
It ain't that far from Waco to Galviston
I'm what you get when you mix a Prairie dog with an old beach bum
Cow chips, BS, and ships ahoy I'm a saltwater cowboy
Guess that's why they call it fishin' instead of catchin'
Cause I ain't had a single bite all day
But I caught a buzz and ain't no limit to tangeray
Ain't quite sure how I wound up way down here
it's a long haul to ropes and sails from ropin' steers
ain't gonna worry bout that just gonna have some fun
Got a be one fish down there dumber than I am drunk
It ain't that far from Waco to Galviston
I'm what you get when you mix a Prairie dog with an old beach bum

Cheapest Motel Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
The glasses were all plastic;
Little balls of no-name soap;
No cable on the TV;
The ice-machine was broke.
Well, I guess that's what you get,
For nineteen bucks an' some change.
But the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.
They used the Bible for a coaster,
An' it never crossed their mind:
Maybe they should've opened it,
Instead of that high-dollar wine.
It was just their little secret,
A hideaway out West Main,
But the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.
He went from home in the suburbs,
To an apartment in town.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
To a stray dog he'd found.
He paid the price for pleasure,
Now he can't afford the pain.
An' the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.
They thought no-one would find 'em,
But it isn't hard to spot,
A brand-new black Mercedes-Benz,
In that gravel parkin' lot.
He fooled his wife till one night,
She saw something he couldn't explain,
An' the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.
He went from home in the suburbs,
To an apartment in town.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
To a stray dog he'd found.
He paid the price for pleasure,
Now he can't afford the pain.
Yeah, the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything;
It cost him everything;
Cost him everything.
Little balls of no-name soap;
No cable on the TV;
The ice-machine was broke.
Well, I guess that's what you get,
For nineteen bucks an' some change.
But the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.
They used the Bible for a coaster,
An' it never crossed their mind:
Maybe they should've opened it,
Instead of that high-dollar wine.
It was just their little secret,
A hideaway out West Main,
But the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.
He went from home in the suburbs,
To an apartment in town.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
To a stray dog he'd found.
He paid the price for pleasure,
Now he can't afford the pain.
An' the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything.
They thought no-one would find 'em,
But it isn't hard to spot,
A brand-new black Mercedes-Benz,
In that gravel parkin' lot.
He fooled his wife till one night,

An' the cheapest motel in town,

He went from home in the suburbs,
To an apartment in town.
From bein' met at the door by two little kids,
To a stray dog he'd found.
He paid the price for pleasure,
Now he can't afford the pain.
Yeah, the cheapest motel in town,
Cost him everything;
It cost him everything;
Cost him everything.
Better Places Than This Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
You ain't gotta go home but you can't stay here
I hear what you're saying, buddy, you're coming in clear
I've had too much and you've had enough of me
Well being asked to leave and being shown the door
Ain't nowhere I ain't never been before
Just one more thing I wanna say before I get up and leave
I been thrown out of better places than this
I know where to go and I know what to kiss
I've heard it all before from my sweet angel's lips
In that little piece of heaven where I used to live
Now there's a place that a man could miss
I've been thrown out of better places than this
Keep your old cold shoulder and your lukewarm beer
Yeah, I've seen enough, I'm outta here
Pour me just one more and I'll be on my way
I'm dreaming of perfume she wore in her hair
And all you got is stale cigarette smoke hanging in the air
So Adios, au revoir, manyana
Whatever they say
I been thrown out of better places than this
I know where to go and I know what to kiss
I've heard it all before from my sweet angel's lips
In that little piece of heaven where I used to live
Now there's a place that a man could miss
I've been thrown out of better places than this
I haven't lost anything here I can't live without
Can't you see everything's already gone
That I've ever cared about
I been thrown out of better places than this
I know where to go and I know what to kiss
I've heard it all before from my sweet angel's lips
In that little piece of heaven where I used to live
Now there's a place that a man could miss
I've been thrown out of better places than this
Yeah, I'm leaving, get your hands offa me
Yeah, I know where the doors at
Y'all might wanna clean this place up a little bit
I hear what you're saying, buddy, you're coming in clear
I've had too much and you've had enough of me
Well being asked to leave and being shown the door
Ain't nowhere I ain't never been before
Just one more thing I wanna say before I get up and leave
I been thrown out of better places than this
I know where to go and I know what to kiss

Before I DieLyrics – Tracy Byrd
Before I die I wanna hit the Mississipi
In a boat I've yet to buy and take it out in the Gulf
Where the water meets the sky
To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry
And I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat
Maybe catch a homerun when a new all-star goes deep
And pretend that's Maris and Mantle pointing up at me
While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat
It's time I put some livin' to these dreams
Before I die, I'm gonna learn all about how man swallows pride
And find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
And tell mama I'm sorry about that night
Before I'm called up
I wanna be the kinda man that a woman wants to love
And find a side of me that's a different kind of tough
Who ain't ashamed to need the man above
While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat
It's time I put some living to these dreams
And Lord I know
These are things I should have done a long time ago
And when I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease
And if I left right now I couldn't rest in peace
While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat
It's time I put some livin' to these dreams
Before I die, I wanna hit the Mississipi in a boat I've yet to buy
Take it out in the Gulf where the water meets the sky
To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry
In a boat I've yet to buy and take it out in the Gulf
Where the water meets the sky
To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry
And I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat
Maybe catch a homerun when a new all-star goes deep
And pretend that's Maris and Mantle pointing up at me
While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat
It's time I put some livin' to these dreams
Before I die, I'm gonna learn all about how man swallows pride
And find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
And tell mama I'm sorry about that night
Before I'm called up
I wanna be the kinda man that a woman wants to love
And find a side of me that's a different kind of tough
Who ain't ashamed to need the man above
While I can still breathe
While this old heart still has another beat

And when I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease

Hot Night In The Country Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Two buttons on her blouse open
Along with the windows
Hoping she might catch an evening breeze
Oh, yeah
Ice cube down her neck dripping
Oh, my look where it's slipping
Got me sweating like a glass of tea
It's a hot night in the country
Taking us to an all-time high
Getting downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
The whole time that I see her
Cooling herself by the freezer
I'm steady picking up steam
She sighs and that ain't helping
Already had me melting
Like a scoop of homemade ice cream
It's a hot night in the country
Taking us to an all-time high
Getting downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
It's a hot night in the country
Taking us to an all-time high
Getting downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
Along with the windows
Hoping she might catch an evening breeze
Oh, yeah
Ice cube down her neck dripping
Oh, my look where it's slipping
Got me sweating like a glass of tea
It's a hot night in the country
Taking us to an all-time high
Getting downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
The whole time that I see her
Cooling herself by the freezer
I'm steady picking up steam
She sighs and that ain't helping
Already had me melting
Like a scoop of homemade ice cream
It's a hot night in the country
Taking us to an all-time high
Getting downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
It's a hot night in the country
Taking us to an all-time high
Getting downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
Drinkin' Bone Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Well it's Friday evening, six o'clock
And all my friends are twisting off
I'm at the house just turning on TV
And they all wonder why I've changed
How many times must I explain
It's basic honky-tonk anatomy
The drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Hey two plus two is always four
And down is south and up is north
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
You play with fire, you wind up burned
The early bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know
Is the drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Yeah now sing it with me
Let's make sure you know
The drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the...
Drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
And all my friends are twisting off
I'm at the house just turning on TV
And they all wonder why I've changed
How many times must I explain
It's basic honky-tonk anatomy
The drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Hey two plus two is always four
And down is south and up is north
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
You play with fire, you wind up burned
The early bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know
Is the drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Yeah now sing it with me
Let's make sure you know
The drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the...
Drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
You Feel Good Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I like sleepin in the nude
When it's hot and the moon is full
I like a little ice in my drink
And the sound when it clinks that's cool
But when I need maximum sensation
I turn to you
Cuz...
You feel good
Baby, you feel good
I like a little itch on my neck
When a song won't let me go
I like the shower beating down
Steam rising all around like smoke
But when I wanna feel a rush
That goes a little deeper
I turn to you
And...
You feel good
Baby, you feel good
I like the velvet of your skin
When I'm holdin you in my arms
And I like the way that we connect
The way that you caress my heart
And every time I need love and understanding
I turn to you
Cuz...
You feel good
Baby, you feel good
Baby, you feel good
ooh oh yea
you feel good
Like I wanna shout
I wanna cry
I wanna make you feel exactly what I feel inside
When it's hot and the moon is full
I like a little ice in my drink
And the sound when it clinks that's cool
But when I need maximum sensation
I turn to you
Cuz...
You feel good
Baby, you feel good
I like a little itch on my neck
When a song won't let me go
I like the shower beating down
Steam rising all around like smoke
But when I wanna feel a rush
That goes a little deeper
I turn to you
And...
You feel good
Baby, you feel good
I like the velvet of your skin
When I'm holdin you in my arms
And I like the way that we connect
The way that you caress my heart
And every time I need love and understanding
I turn to you
Cuz...
You feel good
Baby, you feel good
Baby, you feel good
ooh oh yea
you feel good
Like I wanna shout
I wanna cry
I wanna make you feel exactly what I feel inside
How'd I Wind Up In Jamaica Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Sign said cold beer, so I pulled in there
Pulled up a chair, to have just one
Now my head hurts, I got this sun burn
Oh what on earth have I done
How'd I wind up in Jamaica
Washed up like some lost cast away
How did one round of beer lead to me laying here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay
Hey don't I know you, ain't you the girl who
I was talking to, back at the bar
Your dress was light green and I had on blue jeans
Tell me what's it mean, when we don't know where they are
How'd I wind up in Jamaica
Was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh I barely remember, you cussing December
As you passed me that salt and the lime
It's been a year now, we're still here now
All settled down, might not go back again
Like a couple of beach bums, we hardly work much
Still ask each other every now and then
How'd we wind up in Jamaica
Was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh who cares it don't matter we're happy ever after
Now pass me that salt and the lime
We got it made here in Jamaica
I wouldn't have it any other way
To this day it ain't clear all I know is we're here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay
Pulled up a chair, to have just one
Now my head hurts, I got this sun burn
Oh what on earth have I done
How'd I wind up in Jamaica
Washed up like some lost cast away
How did one round of beer lead to me laying here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay
Hey don't I know you, ain't you the girl who
I was talking to, back at the bar
Your dress was light green and I had on blue jeans
Tell me what's it mean, when we don't know where they are
How'd I wind up in Jamaica
Was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh I barely remember, you cussing December
As you passed me that salt and the lime
It's been a year now, we're still here now
All settled down, might not go back again
Like a couple of beach bums, we hardly work much
Still ask each other every now and then
How'd we wind up in Jamaica
Was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh who cares it don't matter we're happy ever after
Now pass me that salt and the lime
We got it made here in Jamaica
I wouldn't have it any other way
To this day it ain't clear all I know is we're here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay
Tiny Town Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I grew up in a tiny town.
Sidewalks rolled up
When the sun went down,
And we played in the streets
'til my mom said come in,
In that tiny town.
My dad ran a station
By the railroad track.
Half his life
Spent on his back
Underneath a car
Lord he worked so hard
In that tiny town.
They say home is where your heart is
And I guess it's true.
And they say you can't go back
But I close my eyes
And I'm drivin through.
My mom sold Avon
In the neighborhood.
I'd wait in the car
Hopin she'd done good.
So I'd have a dime to spend
On the icecream man
In that tiny town.
I got the car
When I was just 15
And 5 dollars bought
A lot of gasoline
To the drive in picture show
Where we used to go
In that tiny town.
They say home is where your heart is
And I guess it's true.
And they say you can't go back
But I close my eyes
And I'm drivin through.
Now the years
They fly by so fast.
So much in life
We lose to the past,
But I'm proud to say
That I was raised
In a tiny town.
Yeah I'm proud to say
That I was raised
In a tiny town.
Sidewalks rolled up
When the sun went down,
And we played in the streets
'til my mom said come in,
In that tiny town.
My dad ran a station
By the railroad track.
Half his life
Spent on his back
Underneath a car
Lord he worked so hard
In that tiny town.
They say home is where your heart is
And I guess it's true.
And they say you can't go back
But I close my eyes
And I'm drivin through.
My mom sold Avon
In the neighborhood.
I'd wait in the car
Hopin she'd done good.
So I'd have a dime to spend
On the icecream man
In that tiny town.
I got the car
When I was just 15
And 5 dollars bought
A lot of gasoline
To the drive in picture show
Where we used to go
In that tiny town.
They say home is where your heart is
And I guess it's true.
And they say you can't go back
But I close my eyes
And I'm drivin through.
Now the years
They fly by so fast.
So much in life
We lose to the past,
But I'm proud to say
That I was raised
In a tiny town.
Yeah I'm proud to say
That I was raised
In a tiny town.
The Truth About Men Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
We don't like to go out shopping,
We don't care whats on sale,
We just wanna sit with a bag full of chips
Watchin the NFL
When you come over at half time
And say does this dress fit to tight
We just look you in the eye with a big fat lie
And say uh uh it looks just right
Well thats the truth about men
Thats the truth about us
We like to hunt, and golf on our days off
And scratch and spit and cuss
And no matter what line we hand you
When we come draggin in
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's
Probably gonna happen again
We hate watchin steel magnolias
We like rambo and die hard 4
Jump up and down like fools
When we see the new tools
At the home depo store
We don't really wanna take you to dinner
At some fancy resturaunt
The only reason we do is cause
We know it leads too the one thing
That we all want
Well thats the truth about men
Thats the truth about guys
We'd rather pick guitars and work on cars
Then work on the problems in our lives
And tho we might say it to you every now and then
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's
Probably gonna happen again
Well if you wanna know what we're all thinkin
It's nothing to complex
It's just some thing cold for drinkin
And a whole lot of S.E.X
Well thats the truth about men
Thats the truth about us
We like to hunt, and golf and drive around lost
And scratch and spit and a whole lot of other discusting stuff
And no matter what line we give you
When we come crawlin in
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's
Probably gonna happen again
We ain't wrong we ain't sorry and it's
probably gonna happen sure it's gonna happen
You know it's gonna happen again
And thats the truth about men
We don't care whats on sale,
We just wanna sit with a bag full of chips
Watchin the NFL
When you come over at half time

Making Memories Of Us Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I want to sleep with you forever
And I want to die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
Now that I've found you,
I want to surround you,
I'll win your trust
Making memories of us.
I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
I wanna know you
Like nobody knows you
I'll win your trust
Making memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limit
But it's alright now
I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss
Yes I am
Cause I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I want to sleep with you forever
And I want to die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
Now that I've found you,
I want to surround you,
I'll win your trust
Making memories of us.
I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been
I wanna know you
Like nobody knows you
I'll win your trust
Making memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limit
But it's alright now
I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss
Yes I am
Cause I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
That's What Keeps Her Getting By Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Stack of bills on her kitchen table
Out go the lights and off goes the cable
If she don't pay 'em by the 15th
And it don't look like she's gonna be able.
Two mouths to feed, two jobs barely get it done
A lot on her plate for a single mom at twenty-one
From the outside looking in you'd think her world would crumble
But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel.
Somehow she keeps gettin' by,
The only soft shoulder she knows.
Is on some lonely road she's going down, she's going down
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel but she's not
No matter what she's gonna give her kids
A better life than what she's got.
And that's what keeps her gettin' by
Friday noon, parent teacher day
It's Johnson elementary or half a shift's pay
But she wouldn't miss it for the world.
She looks around at all the daddy's in the room
Wishing her kids had one of them too
This ain't how she planned it her life's going ten different ways
It's off to little league and then to ballet
Somehow she keeps gettin' by
The only soft shoulder she knows.
In every dark cloud, oh she, keeps finding that silver lining.
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel, but she's not
No matter what she's gonna give her kids
A better life than what she's got
And that's what keeps her gettin' by.
Yeah, that's what keeps her gettin' by...
Out go the lights and off goes the cable
If she don't pay 'em by the 15th
And it don't look like she's gonna be able.
Two mouths to feed, two jobs barely get it done
A lot on her plate for a single mom at twenty-one
From the outside looking in you'd think her world would crumble
But she keeps finding that light at the end of the tunnel.
Somehow she keeps gettin' by,
The only soft shoulder she knows.
Is on some lonely road she's going down, she's going down
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel but she's not
No matter what she's gonna give her kids
A better life than what she's got.
And that's what keeps her gettin' by
Friday noon, parent teacher day
It's Johnson elementary or half a shift's pay
But she wouldn't miss it for the world.
She looks around at all the daddy's in the room
Wishing her kids had one of them too
This ain't how she planned it her life's going ten different ways
It's off to little league and then to ballet
Somehow she keeps gettin' by
The only soft shoulder she knows.
In every dark cloud, oh she, keeps finding that silver lining.
Sometimes she feels like throwing in the towel, but she's not
No matter what she's gonna give her kids
A better life than what she's got
And that's what keeps her gettin' by.
Yeah, that's what keeps her gettin' by...
When You Go Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
The yelling and cussing was different this time
That's when I started to pack
There's a place where two people can't change anymore
And that's right about where we're at.
Grabbed my favorite CDs and my six pack of beer
A duffle bag full of my clothes
Didn't come here with much even leaving with less
Guess that's what you get when ya go.
Back when we met I thought she was so me
And she told me I was so her
Playing that game of pleasing each other
Oh, it was so easy at first.
Why, when and where everything changed
At this point who cares and who knows
But last thing I want is to carry this hate
But you can't make it stay when you go.
The way that it was ain't the way that it is
We've come to the fork in the road
And it ain't about pride or who's wrong or who's right
There just comes a time when you know
But you'll be better off when you go.
Got caught in a moment way too surreal
I wasn't trying to stall
Just taking my steps one at a time
Taking in all the pictures on the wall.
But I walked in the kitchen, said I better leave
Kinda hoping she might say don't
But she took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go.
Yeah, she just took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go...
That's when I started to pack
There's a place where two people can't change anymore
And that's right about where we're at.
Grabbed my favorite CDs and my six pack of beer
A duffle bag full of my clothes
Didn't come here with much even leaving with less
Guess that's what you get when ya go.
Back when we met I thought she was so me
And she told me I was so her
Playing that game of pleasing each other
Oh, it was so easy at first.
Why, when and where everything changed
At this point who cares and who knows
But last thing I want is to carry this hate
But you can't make it stay when you go.
The way that it was ain't the way that it is
We've come to the fork in the road
And it ain't about pride or who's wrong or who's right
There just comes a time when you know
But you'll be better off when you go.
Got caught in a moment way too surreal

Taking in all the pictures on the wall.
But I walked in the kitchen, said I better leave
Kinda hoping she might say don't
But she took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go.
Yeah, she just took a deep drag off that Marlboro light
And said shut the door behind you when you go...
Baby Put Your Clothes On Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Baby put your clothes on, put on those brand new shoes
I wanna take you downtown, I gotta little blues to lose
I wanna see you dancing, swinging to a country song
I love to show you off, baby put your clothes on
We been sittin 'round here doin' nothin'
Baby we could use a little belt-buckle rubbin'
Where the lights are low and the music's fine
It Wouldn't hurt us none to have a little you and me time
Baby put your clothes on, paint up those pretty lips
Put on those cool blue jeans,
The ones that ride low on your hips
You know you make their heads turn
Little girl you look so strong
I love to show you off, baby put your clothes on
Baby put your clothes on, put on those brand new shoes
I wanna take you downtown, I got a little blues to lose
I wanna see you dancing, swingin' to a country song
I love to show you off, baby put your clothes on
We been sittin 'round here doin' nothin'
Baby we could use a little belt-buckle rubbin'
Where the lights are low and the music's fine
Wouldn't hurt us none to have a little you and me time
Baby put your clothes on, put on those brand new shoes
I wanna take you downtown, I got a little blues to lose
I wanna see you dancing, swingin' to a country song
I love to show you off, baby put your clothes on
I love to show you off, baby put your clothes on...
[Spoken]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Baby how 'bout putting on that little top
You know that one that shows...
How about puttin' that belly ring...
I wanna take you downtown, I gotta little blues to lose
I wanna see you dancing, swinging to a country song
I love to show you off, baby put your clothes on
We been sittin 'round here doin' nothin'
Baby we could use a little belt-buckle rubbin'
Where the lights are low and the music's fine
It Wouldn't hurt us none to have a little you and me time
Baby put your clothes on, paint up those pretty lips
Put on those cool blue jeans,
The ones that ride low on your hips
You know you make their heads turn
Little girl you look so strong

Somewhere I Wanna Go Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Here's the thing about your memory
It could be a thousand miles it could be as many days
But when it's sweeping over me
I'm so powerless it just caries me away.
And where it's taking me I never know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.
Like that weekend when we just took off
Driving in that April sun anywhere the feeling went
We ended up in Montreal
Couldn't understand a word but we learned to laugh in French
Where you memory wants to take me I don't know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.
Make it somewhere I wanna go, somewhere I wanna go
Dancing down at Mardi Gras, that little motel room in Arkansas
The nights we just sat up and talked, somewhere I wanna go
Make it somewhere I wanna go...
It could be a thousand miles it could be as many days
But when it's sweeping over me
I'm so powerless it just caries me away.
And where it's taking me I never know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.
Like that weekend when we just took off
Driving in that April sun anywhere the feeling went
We ended up in Montreal
Couldn't understand a word but we learned to laugh in French
Where you memory wants to take me I don't know
The only thing that I can do is hope
It's somewhere I wanna go.
Not that January night under that street light
With the snow falling all around
And I'm telling you things that I don't really mean
But they just keep coming out
And I see your unbelieving tears
Your speechless breath hanging in the air
And I watch you throw your ring out in the snow
And there I wait until your mem'ry goes
Somewhere I wanna go.
Make it somewhere I wanna go, somewhere I wanna go
Dancing down at Mardi Gras, that little motel room in Arkansas
The nights we just sat up and talked, somewhere I wanna go
Make it somewhere I wanna go...
Somebody's Dream Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
There's a burned out farmhouse down the road
Barns fallin' in and the field's overgrown
"Keep Outside" on the broken fence
Passers-by say, "What a mess"
It don't cross their mind that not long ago
That was somebody's dream, somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Ain't life a twistin', turnin', changin' machine
They had big plans, they had no doubts
But then the bottom fell out
It fell apart at the seams
But you wouldn't know that used to be somebody's dream.
He's seventeen, his thumb's in the air
Runnin' away to God-knows-where
No one wants to pick him up
All they see's a no good punk.
With torn up clothes, the cigarette and the hair
Oh but that's somebody's dream, somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Ain't life a twistin', turnin', changin' machine
His folks, had plans, they had no doubts
They had his future figured out
Guess he just figured differently
And maybe you got room in your back seat
for somebody's dream.
A girl walks into a pawn shop to sell a weddin' ring
Says, "Since he left me, man, I just don't need a thing"
She's thinkin' about what happened, thinkin' what went wrong
Man across the counters thinkin' what price tag he'll put on.
That was somebody's dream, somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Ain't life a twistin', turnin', changin' machine
She had big plans, she had no doubts
She had it all figured out
Guess he figured differently
Ah, but still she knows someday she'll be somebody's dream.
Somebody's dream, somebody's dream
Somebody's dream (somebody's dream.)...
Barns fallin' in and the field's overgrown
"Keep Outside" on the broken fence
Passers-by say, "What a mess"
It don't cross their mind that not long ago
That was somebody's dream, somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Ain't life a twistin', turnin', changin' machine
They had big plans, they had no doubts
But then the bottom fell out
It fell apart at the seams
But you wouldn't know that used to be somebody's dream.

Just Let Me Be In Love Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
My breath is short, my heart is beating fast
Every time I smile at her she's smiling back
If I'm dreaming, please just let me sleep
Anyone can see that she's too good for me
Oh, give her time, she'll find out soon enough
Just let me have and hold her 'til she does
What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Don't concern me with reality
Don't convince me she's too heavenly
Forget the future, disregard the past
Those are questions I don't want to ask
To my heart, all that matters is tonight
Just let me live this moment in her eyes
What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Let me be in love
I just want to be in love
Every time I smile at her she's smiling back
If I'm dreaming, please just let me sleep
Anyone can see that she's too good for me
Oh, give her time, she'll find out soon enough
Just let me have and hold her 'til she does
What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Don't concern me with reality
Don't convince me she's too heavenly
Forget the future, disregard the past
Those are questions I don't want to ask
To my heart, all that matters is tonight
Just let me live this moment in her eyes
What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love
Let me be in love
I just want to be in love
Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
When I walked in the band just started
The singer couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
Was on a mission to drown her memory but
I thought no way with all this ruckus.
But after one round with Jose Cuervo
I caught my boots tappin 'long with the beat.
And after two rounds with Jose Cuervo
That band was sounding pretty darn good to me.
Then some stranger asked me dance
And I revealed to her my two left feet.
Said, Don't get me wrong I'm glad you asked
But tonight's about me and an old memory.
Then after three rounds with Jose Cuervo
I let her lead me out on the floor
And after four rounds with Jose Cuervo
I was showin' off moves never seen before.
Well, around five or round six
I forgot what I came to forget.
After round seven or was it eight
I bought a round for the whole dang place!
After nine rounds with Jose Cuervo
They were countin' me out and I was about to give in
The after ten rounds with Jose Cuervo
I lost count and started countin' again!
One round with Jose Cuervo
I went two rounds with Jose Cuervo
Three rounds with Jose Cuervo
Five rounds with Jose Cuervo or was it four?
Six rounds with Jose Cuervo
Eight rounds with Jose Cuervo
Ten rounds with Jose Cuervo...
The singer couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
Was on a mission to drown her memory but
I thought no way with all this ruckus.
But after one round with Jose Cuervo
I caught my boots tappin 'long with the beat.
And after two rounds with Jose Cuervo
That band was sounding pretty darn good to me.
Then some stranger asked me dance
And I revealed to her my two left feet.
Said, Don't get me wrong I'm glad you asked
But tonight's about me and an old memory.
Then after three rounds with Jose Cuervo
I let her lead me out on the floor
And after four rounds with Jose Cuervo
I was showin' off moves never seen before.
Well, around five or round six
I forgot what I came to forget.
After round seven or was it eight
I bought a round for the whole dang place!
After nine rounds with Jose Cuervo
They were countin' me out and I was about to give in
The after ten rounds with Jose Cuervo
I lost count and started countin' again!
One round with Jose Cuervo
I went two rounds with Jose Cuervo
Three rounds with Jose Cuervo
Five rounds with Jose Cuervo or was it four?
Six rounds with Jose Cuervo
Eight rounds with Jose Cuervo
Ten rounds with Jose Cuervo...
Wildfire Lyrics – Tracy Byrd (originally by Michael Martin Murphey)
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On the dark flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side.
On a cold Nebraska night.
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire he busted down his stall
And in a blizzard he was lost.
She went callin' Wildfire, callin' Wildfirem callin' Wildfire.
By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now
For six nights in a row she's coming for me I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go/
We'll be riding Wildfire, riding Wildfire, riding Wildfire/
On Wildfire we'll ride
we're gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out
Of our minds riding Wildfire...
On the dark flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side.
On a cold Nebraska night.
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire he busted down his stall
And in a blizzard he was lost.
She went callin' Wildfire, callin' Wildfirem callin' Wildfire.
By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now
For six nights in a row she's coming for me I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go/
We'll be riding Wildfire, riding Wildfire, riding Wildfire/
On Wildfire we'll ride
we're gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out
Of our minds riding Wildfire...
How Much Does The World Weigh Lyrics – Tracy Byrd (originally by Sammy Kershaw)
I sat up thinkin' late last night
Do they have a way to count the stars?
There's a lot of scientific minds that claim
To know what all the answers are.
Well, if that's the case
How much does the world weigh
Somebody's probably worked it out
You can look up what the experts say,
But all you gotta do is look around
You'd be surprised who knows
Ask that woman tryin' to make the rent
Pay the bills and feed the kids.
Six months ago their daddy walked away
Ask that man whose family stayed around
He finally put that bottle down
Now he has to fight that battle every day.
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
Human spirit is a funny thing
Gow far it bends before it breaks
And to keep the world from caving in
How much strength does it take?
Well, don't ask me
Ask that couple in the waitin' room
The doctors say it's still too soon
It's their little girl all they can do is pray.
Ask that little boy who's gotta choose
mom or dad either way he'll lose
They're breakin' up, and he thinks he's to blame
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
Ask that man hanging on the cross
His last breath will save the lost
The answer's in the tears on his face
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?...
Do they have a way to count the stars?
There's a lot of scientific minds that claim
To know what all the answers are.
Well, if that's the case
How much does the world weigh
Somebody's probably worked it out
You can look up what the experts say,
But all you gotta do is look around
You'd be surprised who knows
Ask that woman tryin' to make the rent
Pay the bills and feed the kids.
Six months ago their daddy walked away
Ask that man whose family stayed around
He finally put that bottle down
Now he has to fight that battle every day.
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
Human spirit is a funny thing
Gow far it bends before it breaks
And to keep the world from caving in
How much strength does it take?
Well, don't ask me
Ask that couple in the waitin' room
The doctors say it's still too soon
It's their little girl all they can do is pray.
Ask that little boy who's gotta choose
mom or dad either way he'll lose
They're breakin' up, and he thinks he's to blame
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
Ask that man hanging on the cross
His last breath will save the lost
The answer's in the tears on his face
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?...
Summertime Fever Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Well, I went to the doctor to tell him the news
I got a feelin' from my head to my shoes
Nurse said sorry but the docs not in
He's got the fever too, its summer again.
Long necks, rednecks, barbecues
Somethings always going on
Spreading like a fire in the morning news
From your skin right down to your bones.
Yacths and johnboats, floatin' on the river
Everyone's catching that summertime fever.
Mini skirts and roman sandals
Women so hot they ought to have handles
Fireworks on the fourth of July
Baseball, hotdogs, applepie.
Take off your T-tops, off your T-bird
Cut off your blue jeans, peel off your shirts
Yachts and johnboats floatin' on the river
Everyone's catching that summertime fever.
Long necks, rednecks, barbecues
Somethings always going on
Spreading like a fire in the morning news
From your skin right down to your bones.
Suntan oil so you don't blister everybody's got that Summertime fever...
I got a feelin' from my head to my shoes
Nurse said sorry but the docs not in
He's got the fever too, its summer again.
Long necks, rednecks, barbecues
Somethings always going on
Spreading like a fire in the morning news
From your skin right down to your bones.
Yacths and johnboats, floatin' on the river
Everyone's catching that summertime fever.
Mini skirts and roman sandals
Women so hot they ought to have handles
Fireworks on the fourth of July
Baseball, hotdogs, applepie.
Take off your T-tops, off your T-bird
Cut off your blue jeans, peel off your shirts
Yachts and johnboats floatin' on the river
Everyone's catching that summertime fever.
Long necks, rednecks, barbecues
Somethings always going on
Spreading like a fire in the morning news
From your skin right down to your bones.
Suntan oil so you don't blister everybody's got that Summertime fever...
Crazy Every Time Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
When we heard that train a comin'
Should've seen old Billy Walker run
I laughed and yelled, hey Billy
You're gonna miss all the fun.
Between me and that cold water
I bet there was fifty feet of air
When I jumped that bridge was shaking
But me, I wasn't scared.
Call me crazy but when the choice was mine
I'd pick crazy every time
Mama thought she, taught me better safe than sorry
But I guess I've always been the other kind.
I disregard all reason I don't look for hidden meanin'
And I don't really care if it don't rhyme
Born with a rebel state of mind
I'll pick crazy every time.
Between drag racing, cane raising', girl chasing
Bootlegging, I like my livin' on edge
Ask me what I'd change and I'll say
There's one thing to this day I still regret
She was the best thing I had goin'
Yeah that's what Billy always said
No one else will treat me better
Love me like she did.
All I had to do was walk that line
But I'll pick crazy every time
Mama thought she, taught me better safe than sorry
But I guess I've always been the other kind.
But don't ask me, I don't know why
I pick crazy every time
Between me and that cold water
I bet there was fifty feet of air...
Should've seen old Billy Walker run
I laughed and yelled, hey Billy
You're gonna miss all the fun.
Between me and that cold water
I bet there was fifty feet of air
When I jumped that bridge was shaking
But me, I wasn't scared.
Call me crazy but when the choice was mine
I'd pick crazy every time
Mama thought she, taught me better safe than sorry
But I guess I've always been the other kind.
I disregard all reason I don't look for hidden meanin'
And I don't really care if it don't rhyme
Born with a rebel state of mind
I'll pick crazy every time.
Between drag racing, cane raising', girl chasing
Bootlegging, I like my livin' on edge
Ask me what I'd change and I'll say
There's one thing to this day I still regret
She was the best thing I had goin'
Yeah that's what Billy always said
No one else will treat me better
Love me like she did.
All I had to do was walk that line
But I'll pick crazy every time
Mama thought she, taught me better safe than sorry
But I guess I've always been the other kind.
But don't ask me, I don't know why
I pick crazy every time
Between me and that cold water
I bet there was fifty feet of air...
Good Way To Get On My Bad Side Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
A little lady standing next to me,
Isn't she a pretty thing?
I'm the one that put that ring on her left hand.
Another fellow can tip his hat,
And I'm as gentle as a pussycat.
But let it go much further than that and he's a dead man.
Cause that's a good way,
That's a real good way,
That's a good way to get on my bad side.
The politician on my t.v.,
Says he's only lookin' out for me.
He says he knows what the poor man needs in the long run.
But every year he gives himself a raise,
With a chunk of every buck I make.
Now he's talkin like he wants to take my shotgun.
That's a good way,
That's a real good way,
That's a good way to get on my bad side.
Aint lookin for no trouble.
Don't wanna start no fight.
Don't want more than I got commin'
I only wanna do what's right.
Just treat me like I treat you,
And we'll get along just fine.
But mister take one step across that line.
And that's a good way,
That's a real good way,
That's a good way to get on my bad side.
I like Van Halen and I like George Jones.
Charlie Daniels and the Rolling Stones.
Bocephus when he rocks-n-rolls still kills me.
There oughta be a law against cowboy rap,
And all that boy band crap.
A little sissy in a cowboy hat aint country.
No..but that's a good way,
That's a real good way,
That's a good way to get on my bad side.
Yea that's a real good way to get on my bad side.
That's a good way,
That's a real good way,
That's a good way to get on my bad side.
That's a good way,
That's a real good way,
That's a good way to get on my bad side.
Isn't she a pretty thing?
I'm the one that put that ring on her left hand.
Another fellow can tip his hat,
And I'm as gentle as a pussycat.
But let it go much further than that and he's a dead man.
Cause that's a good way,

That's a good way to get on my bad side.

That's a good way,
That's a real good way,
That's a good way to get on my bad side.
Needed Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
You say you hate to bother me
Baby I'll be right there
You're having one of those days
I can see right through this phone
Nothing's out of my way
You can't ask too much
I'm just thankful to be the one
You lean on
So lay your troubles on me
That's what I live for
Makes me feel so complete
It's the reason I was born
Baby what makes love love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed
Needed
I know this life ain't easy
Sometimes we try so hard
That we just end up overworked
And overwhelmed
That's why I've got this shoulder
And two arms open wide
You won't ever have to do
It by yourself
So lay your troubles on me
That's what I live for
Makes me feel so complete
It's the reason I was born
Baby what makes love love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed
Needed
Baby what makes love love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed
Needed
I wanna be needed
Needed
Baby I'll be right there
You're having one of those days
I can see right through this phone
Nothing's out of my way
You can't ask too much
I'm just thankful to be the one
You lean on
So lay your troubles on me
That's what I live for
Makes me feel so complete
It's the reason I was born
Baby what makes love love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed
Needed
I know this life ain't easy
Sometimes we try so hard
That we just end up overworked
And overwhelmed
That's why I've got this shoulder
And two arms open wide
You won't ever have to do
It by yourself
So lay your troubles on me
That's what I live for
Makes me feel so complete
It's the reason I was born
Baby what makes love love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed
Needed
Baby what makes love love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed
Needed
I wanna be needed

Tryin' Not To Love You Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I'm doin' the best I can, but I'm startin' to understand
The best I've got ain't getting me anywhere
I'm fightin' with all my might, but when I'm alone at night
Your memory is more than I can bear
Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe
Somethin' that I haven't learned to do
I can't stop believin' you're everything I need
That's a place my heart just won't go to
Tryin' not to love you
I make it a little while, without thinkin' of your sweet smile
Then suddenly I see you in my mind
Keep tellin' myself you're gone, keep sayin' I'm movin' on
But everyday I'm falling more behind
Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe
Somethin' that I haven't learned to do
I can't stop believin' you're everything I need
That's a place my heart just won't go to
Tryin' not to love you
You said I'd be fine but you were lyin'
'Cause after all this time it feels like dyin'
Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe
Somethin' that I haven't learned to do
I can't stop believin' you're everything I need
That's a place my heart just won't go to
Tryin' not to love you
I'm tryin' not to love you
The best I've got ain't getting me anywhere
I'm fightin' with all my might, but when I'm alone at night
Your memory is more than I can bear
Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe
Somethin' that I haven't learned to do
I can't stop believin' you're everything I need
That's a place my heart just won't go to
Tryin' not to love you
I make it a little while, without thinkin' of your sweet smile
Then suddenly I see you in my mind
Keep tellin' myself you're gone, keep sayin' I'm movin' on
But everyday I'm falling more behind
Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe
Somethin' that I haven't learned to do
I can't stop believin' you're everything I need
That's a place my heart just won't go to
Tryin' not to love you
You said I'd be fine but you were lyin'
'Cause after all this time it feels like dyin'
Tryin' not to love you is like tryin' not to breathe
Somethin' that I haven't learned to do
I can't stop believin' you're everything I need
That's a place my heart just won't go to
Tryin' not to love you
I'm tryin' not to love you
Never Gonna Break Again Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Seeing you sittin' alone stranded with your heart broke down
Reminds me of everything wrong with the world right now
It seems nobody takes pride in anything they do or say
They give their word but it ain't worth very much these days.
Maybe I'm old school behind the times but I
Still believe if a man does something he ought to do it right
So when I make love it's made to last
And when I build trust it's built to stand fast.
Everything I start I see it to the end
If you let me fix your heart it's never gonna break again.
Whoever had your heart before left it in pretty bad shape
If he gave it the time and the care it needs well he did it too late
It's gonna take a little work but it's nothing that I can't do
Piece by piece I'll put it together back better than new.
And it comes with my lifetime guarantee
Just put your heart in my good hands and girl you'll see
Oh, that when I make love it's made to last
And when I build trust it's built to stand fast.
Oh, when I make love it's made to last
And when I build trust it's built to stand fast...
Reminds me of everything wrong with the world right now
It seems nobody takes pride in anything they do or say
They give their word but it ain't worth very much these days.
Maybe I'm old school behind the times but I
Still believe if a man does something he ought to do it right
So when I make love it's made to last
And when I build trust it's built to stand fast.
Everything I start I see it to the end
If you let me fix your heart it's never gonna break again.
Whoever had your heart before left it in pretty bad shape
If he gave it the time and the care it needs well he did it too late
It's gonna take a little work but it's nothing that I can't do
Piece by piece I'll put it together back better than new.
And it comes with my lifetime guarantee
Just put your heart in my good hands and girl you'll see
Oh, that when I make love it's made to last
And when I build trust it's built to stand fast.
Oh, when I make love it's made to last
And when I build trust it's built to stand fast...
The Keeper Of The Stars Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude
So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude
So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Put Your Hand In Mine Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
He sat up on the bed and he watched me packing
He already knew why I was leavin'
I took what I needed but I sure left a lot still hanging
But I figured I'd get it come the weekend
He said Daddy when you get there
Are you gonna have a refridgerator
I kinda laughed and said I guess I will
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand
On the back of a piece of paper
And a magnet and my heart stood still (when he said)
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine
I drove past the Hardin Baptist Church
Though it wasn't really on the way to my hotel
Beside me on the seat I was looking at five small fingers
When I heard the chapel bell (and it took me)
Back another life ago when our hearts were open
Oh, back when we could still agree
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
You and I we got down on our knees (and said)
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine
I couldn't even stay away one night
I noticed you left on the light
And I've only got one thing to say
If you're not too tired and it's not too late
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be here all the time
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be here to lift you up again
Would you reach out to me one more time
And put your hand in mine
Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mine
He already knew why I was leavin'
I took what I needed but I sure left a lot still hanging
But I figured I'd get it come the weekend
He said Daddy when you get there
Are you gonna have a refridgerator
I kinda laughed and said I guess I will
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand
On the back of a piece of paper
And a magnet and my heart stood still (when he said)
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine
I drove past the Hardin Baptist Church
Though it wasn't really on the way to my hotel
Beside me on the seat I was looking at five small fingers
When I heard the chapel bell (and it took me)
Back another life ago when our hearts were open

Back when the future that we had was full of hope and

It's About Time Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Another fourteen hour day
Cisis solved,deadline made
I came home like always tired and beat
Threw dinner in the microwave
Beside it on the counter lay
A letter from my wife addressed to me.
It said, I know you're working hard that's easy to see
Tryin' to provide the best for the kids and me
We've had less to work with but we've always worked it out
A house and yard clothes and cars ain't all it's all about.
It's about time that you're not givin' life, that you're not livin'
Losin' your focus not knowin' you don't notice
That our dreams are slowly fadin'
Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'?
Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice
Cause if we are, you need to realize, it's about time.
While you were on a business trip to bad you had to miss
Your spittin' image hit the winnin' run
You know he adores you he was looking for you
Remember that you promised him you'd come.
Did you know your little girl lost her front tooth today
She put it underneath her pillow and tried to stay awake
I laid down beside her didn't want to sleep alone
This is not about not loving can't you see what's going on?
It's about time that you're not givin' life, that you're not livin'
Losin' your focus not knowin' you don't notice
That our dreams are slowly fadin'
Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'?
I walked up the stairs to find three angels sound asleep
One by one I tucked 'em in and kissed 'em on the cheek
I stood there and thought about how selfish I had been
And how one day without 'em would be more than I could stand.
And now I understand
It's about time I should be givin'...

Can't Have One Without The Other Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Used to think that love would be so simple
Just happy ever after one another
Sometimes it's hot to trot
And sometimes it's the old cold shoulder
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Sometimes you'll think she's sent from heaven
A best friend, confidante and lover
Oh, there are times that little angel
She ain't nothin' but a devil woman
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
She can be such a good girl
But, she can be so bad
Put you on top of the world
Cut you down so fast
Sometimes she's my baby
Sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
I wouldn't take a million dollars for her
Or pay a single dime for ten more of her
I guess there's a heads and tails
To every lucky silver dollar
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Oh, she can make the time fly
She can be a drag
Put you on cloud nine
Turn to rain so fast
Sometimes she's my baby
Sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Just happy ever after one another
Sometimes it's hot to trot
And sometimes it's the old cold shoulder
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Sometimes you'll think she's sent from heaven
A best friend, confidante and lover
Oh, there are times that little angel
She ain't nothin' but a devil woman
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
She can be such a good girl
But, she can be so bad
Put you on top of the world
Cut you down so fast
Sometimes she's my baby
Sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
I wouldn't take a million dollars for her
Or pay a single dime for ten more of her
I guess there's a heads and tails
To every lucky silver dollar
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Oh, she can make the time fly
She can be a drag
Put you on cloud nine
Turn to rain so fast
Sometimes she's my baby
Sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Take Me With You When You Go Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
You can settle down in Mexico
Runaway join a circus show
Whatever baby it's alright with me
Take a walk in the pouring rain
Sky dive from a jet airplane
Love like ours is all about being free.
There's two chairs on the front porch
One's yours and one is mine
Four wheels in the driveway
That'll take us across the line.
It doesn't really matter
If you wanna rock or roll
Just take me with you
When you go.
Swim the ocean for a million pearls
Hitchhike all the way around the world
Fly to the moon in a rocketship, I don't care
Ride a camel cross the desert sand
Sail away to never, never land
Imagination can take you anywhere.
So be the hero that rides off into the sun
Or a wild raging river always on the run
Change direction like the strong four winds that blow
Just take me with you when you go.
Today, tomorrow and forever
Every turn you make
I want to be there
I want to be there.
Live like a gypsy chase your distant dreams
Or get lost in the blues on Bourbon Street down in New Orleans
Believe in heaven if you want to save your soul
Just take me with you when you go.
Just take me with you when you go...
Runaway join a circus show
Whatever baby it's alright with me
Take a walk in the pouring rain
Sky dive from a jet airplane
Love like ours is all about being free.
There's two chairs on the front porch
One's yours and one is mine
Four wheels in the driveway
That'll take us across the line.
It doesn't really matter
If you wanna rock or roll
Just take me with you
When you go.
Swim the ocean for a million pearls
Hitchhike all the way around the world
Fly to the moon in a rocketship, I don't care
Ride a camel cross the desert sand
Sail away to never, never land
Imagination can take you anywhere.
So be the hero that rides off into the sun
Or a wild raging river always on the run
Change direction like the strong four winds that blow
Just take me with you when you go.
Today, tomorrow and forever
Every turn you make
I want to be there
I want to be there.
Live like a gypsy chase your distant dreams
Or get lost in the blues on Bourbon Street down in New Orleans
Believe in heaven if you want to save your soul
Just take me with you when you go.
Just take me with you when you go...
Every Time I Do Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Whenever I go out
Anywhere in town
I look for a crowd
Where you're not hangin' 'round
Say that I won't give
Your memory any room
But every time I do
Just when I think I can
Take another's hand
Get on with my life
Won't look back again
Promise I won't keep
Comparin' them to you
But every time I do
Every time I do, I wish I didn't
Try to tell myself, but I just don't listen
It's what he can't have back he never learns his lesson
I say I'll forget her
Oh, but I know better
Don't I know by now we don't belong together
Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do
When I'm drivin' home
You'd think that I'd have learned
Keep both hands on the wheel
Don't even make that turn
Swear that I won't go
Down Maple Avenue
But every time I do
Every time I do, I wish I didn't
Try to tell myself, but I just don't listen
It's a fool who just goes on missin'
What he can't have back he never learns his lesson
I say I'll forget her
Oh, but I know better
Don't I know by now we don't belong together
Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do
No, I Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do
Anywhere in town
I look for a crowd
Where you're not hangin' 'round
Say that I won't give
Your memory any room
But every time I do
Just when I think I can
Take another's hand
Get on with my life
Won't look back again
Promise I won't keep
Comparin' them to you
But every time I do
Every time I do, I wish I didn't
Try to tell myself, but I just don't listen
It's what he can't have back he never learns his lesson
I say I'll forget her
Oh, but I know better
Don't I know by now we don't belong together
Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do
When I'm drivin' home
You'd think that I'd have learned
Keep both hands on the wheel
Don't even make that turn
Swear that I won't go
Down Maple Avenue
But every time I do
Every time I do, I wish I didn't
Try to tell myself, but I just don't listen
It's a fool who just goes on missin'
What he can't have back he never learns his lesson
I say I'll forget her
Oh, but I know better
Don't I know by now we don't belong together
Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do
No, I Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do
Love, You Ain't Seen The Last Of Me Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I been losin' my mind one love at a time
Gettin' up just to be knocked down
But with all of that pain I come back again
And I always go one more round.
Women, me and love
We just can't get it right
I might lose the battle
But I love the fight .
No love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see if I can capture the dream
Yeah love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me.
I got a big long list of all the times
I've missed when I zeroed in on love
And at times it seems like one heartache
Begins where the last one has just left off
And tonight it looks like another
One is aimed in my heart
And she's looking at me
And I'm feeling that feelin' start .
Oh, love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see if I can capture the dream
Yeah love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me.
And tonight it looks like another
One is aimed in my heart
And she's looking at me
And I'm feeling that feelin' start.
Oh, love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see if I can capture the dream
Yeah love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me.
Yeah, love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me...
Gettin' up just to be knocked down
But with all of that pain I come back again
And I always go one more round.
Women, me and love
We just can't get it right
I might lose the battle
But I love the fight .
No love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see if I can capture the dream
Yeah love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me.
I got a big long list of all the times
I've missed when I zeroed in on love
And at times it seems like one heartache
Begins where the last one has just left off
And tonight it looks like another
One is aimed in my heart
And she's looking at me
And I'm feeling that feelin' start .
Oh, love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see if I can capture the dream
Yeah love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me.
And tonight it looks like another
One is aimed in my heart
And she's looking at me
And I'm feeling that feelin' start.
Oh, love you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see if I can capture the dream
Yeah love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me.
Yeah, love you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily, no you ain't seen the last of me...
Ain't It Just Like A Woman Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
When it rains it pours
And man it's really comin' down
Feels like the weight of the whole world
Knocked me to the ground
And that's when she takes me in
And gives me shelter from the storm
Where I'm safe and warm
Lost in her arms
Nothin's wrong anymore
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved
Life's a race I'll never win
It's enough to drive me crazy
And when the walls start closing in
It never fails to amaze me
How one little touch
Or a twinkle in her eye
Brings me to life
Yeah, she knows the way
To make it alright
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved
That's when she takes me in
And gives me shelter from the storm
Where I'm safe and warm
Lost in her arms
Nothin's wrong anymore
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved...
And man it's really comin' down
Feels like the weight of the whole world
Knocked me to the ground
And that's when she takes me in
And gives me shelter from the storm
Where I'm safe and warm
Lost in her arms
Nothin's wrong anymore
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved
Life's a race I'll never win
It's enough to drive me crazy
And when the walls start closing in
It never fails to amaze me
How one little touch
Or a twinkle in her eye
Brings me to life
Yeah, she knows the way
To make it alright
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved
That's when she takes me in
And gives me shelter from the storm
Where I'm safe and warm
Lost in her arms
Nothin's wrong anymore
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved...
Undo The Right Lyrics – Tracy Byrd (originally by Willie Nelson)
If you can't say you love me say you hate me
And that you regret each time you held me tight
If you can't be mine forever then forsake me
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
It was right when you loved me only
But wrong when you held another tight
So before you go away and leave me lonely
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done
Why do you try
So please so I can face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done
Why do you try
So please so I can face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
And that you regret each time you held me tight
If you can't be mine forever then forsake me
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
It was right when you loved me only
But wrong when you held another tight
So before you go away and leave me lonely
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done
Why do you try
So please so I can face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done
Why do you try
So please so I can face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
Proud Of Me Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
As the sun's coming up
She puts coffee on
Love in a cup
She makes it strong
She kisses my cheek
And I'm on my way
With her on my mind
I work hard all day
Just trying to keep
Her proud of me
It's hard to believe
A girl like her fell
For someone with grease
Under his fingernails
And like a tattoo
Soap can't wash off
It's easy to see
I'm nobody's boss
I'm just trying to keep her proud of me
Don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but I'm gonna do my best
To see she always does
Don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but I'm gonna do my best
To see she always does
Oh, even though
I can't give her much
But I think that she knows
I'm just trying to keep her proud of me
As the sun's coming up
She puts coffee on
She puts coffee on
Love in a cup
She makes it strong
She kisses my cheek
And I'm on my way
With her on my mind
I work hard all day
Just trying to keep
Her proud of me
It's hard to believe
A girl like her fell
For someone with grease
Under his fingernails
And like a tattoo
Soap can't wash off
It's easy to see
I'm nobody's boss
I'm just trying to keep her proud of me
Don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but I'm gonna do my best
To see she always does
Don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but I'm gonna do my best
To see she always does
Oh, even though
I can't give her much
But I think that she knows
I'm just trying to keep her proud of me
As the sun's coming up
She puts coffee on
A Little Love Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
She underdressed for the occasion
She wants to go back home and change
A maid of honor wearing waitress shoes,
Just looks strange
Her little brother's getting married
A spur of the moment kind of thing
And she's giving up her lunch break,
Holding the ring
She's never been the jealous kind,
But she can't seem to stop,
That little voice inside saying,
I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'Cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way
There was a man she met one summer
His memory keeps her up at night
At the time it felt all wrong
But what if it was right?
Now here she is, throwing the rice
Standing on the sidewalk,
Trying not to cry thinking
I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'Cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way
When it's lonely in your life
And you've almost lost your faith
A little love can go a long, long way
She wants to go back home and change
A maid of honor wearing waitress shoes,
Just looks strange
Her little brother's getting married
A spur of the moment kind of thing
And she's giving up her lunch break,
Holding the ring
She's never been the jealous kind,
But she can't seem to stop,
That little voice inside saying,
I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'Cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way
There was a man she met one summer
His memory keeps her up at night
At the time it felt all wrong
But what if it was right?
Now here she is, throwing the rice
Standing on the sidewalk,
Trying not to cry thinking
I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'Cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way
When it's lonely in your life
And you've almost lost your faith
A little love can go a long, long way
Something To Brag About Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I need something to brag about
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about
Well, goodness gracious what's that I see
Over in the corner making eyes at me.
I can't stop shaking she's so fine
But how am I ever going to make her mine, all mine
Oh, I need something to brag about
A new car a big two story house.
I can't win her love without something to brag about
I want to be all she's looking for
It's going to take all I've got and more
I'll be going home alone without something to brag about.
Lord have mercy here she comes
But it's too late now I can't turn and run
Well, my first impression just might be my last
Well, I better hurry up and think of something fast.
Oh, I need something to brag about
need something to brag about
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about
Well, goodness gracious what's that I see
Over in the corner making eyes at me.
I need something to brag about
need something to brag about
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about
Well, goodness gracious what's that I see
Over in the corner making eyes at me
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about
Well, goodness gracious what's that I see
Over in the corner making eyes at me.
I can't stop shaking she's so fine
But how am I ever going to make her mine, all mine
Oh, I need something to brag about
A new car a big two story house.
I can't win her love without something to brag about
I want to be all she's looking for
It's going to take all I've got and more
I'll be going home alone without something to brag about.

Well, I better hurry up and think of something fast.

Gettin' Me Over Mountains Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
It's an everyday battle
Just tryin' to break even
No, there ain't no gettin' ahead
When you're just gettin' by
But she's standing on the front porch
When I get home in the evening
That's how I know everything's gonna be all right.
I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Getting me over mountains with her love.
There are days I wanna give up
Declare the world a winner
When the bills and the dog gone boss
Won't cut me no slack
But when we're turnin' these lights down
And I'm lyin' there with her
There ain't a rock on the road of life
I can't get past.
I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Getting me over mountains with her love.
Getting me over mountains with her love ...
Just tryin' to break even
No, there ain't no gettin' ahead
When you're just gettin' by
But she's standing on the front porch
When I get home in the evening
That's how I know everything's gonna be all right.
I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Getting me over mountains with her love.
There are days I wanna give up
Declare the world a winner
When the bills and the dog gone boss
Won't cut me no slack
But when we're turnin' these lights down
And I'm lyin' there with her
There ain't a rock on the road of life
I can't get past.
I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Getting me over mountains with her love.
Getting me over mountains with her love ...
I Wanna Feel That Way Again Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
At the time, it seemed like the right thing
Breakin' up and goin' separate ways
But now I find, I can't keep from wishin'
I was back with you in yesterday
Laughin' and lovin' wild and free
No one else but you and me
I wanna feel that way again
I wanna touch you like I did back then
I wanna hold you in my arms, let a candle burn till dawn
Feel your breath upon my skin
It was the best I've ever been
I can't believe we let it end
I wanna feel that way again
Holdin' hands, walkin' down a dirt road
In the dark and knowin' everything was right
We would dance, and talk about tomorrow
Our lips would touch and set the night on fire
Back then there was nothin' we couldn't do
Believin' that dreams come true
I wanna feel that way again
I wanna touch you like I did back then
I wanna hold you in my arms, let a candle burn till dawn
Feel your breath upon my skin
It was the best I've ever been
I can't believe we let it end
I wanna feel that way again
It was the best I've ever been
I can't believe we let it end
I wanna feel that way again
Breakin' up and goin' separate ways
But now I find, I can't keep from wishin'
I was back with you in yesterday
Laughin' and lovin' wild and free
No one else but you and me
I wanna feel that way again
I wanna touch you like I did back then
I wanna hold you in my arms, let a candle burn till dawn
Feel your breath upon my skin
It was the best I've ever been
I can't believe we let it end
I wanna feel that way again
Holdin' hands, walkin' down a dirt road
In the dark and knowin' everything was right
We would dance, and talk about tomorrow
Our lips would touch and set the night on fire
Back then there was nothin' we couldn't do
Believin' that dreams come true

I Still Love The Night Life Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
How dare you accuse me of being on a leash
Just because you haven't seen me
On the town the last few weeks
You say that girl I'm seein' has somehow made me change
But I say take a closer look
Deep down I'm still the same.
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our own private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been.
There may not be a jukebox, but I still love to dance
We two step 'cross that kitchen floor
Each time we get the chance
From neon light to soft white, sawdust to squeaky clean
It's different circumstances
Ah, but some things never change.
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been.
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our own private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been.
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been...
Just because you haven't seen me
On the town the last few weeks
You say that girl I'm seein' has somehow made me change
But I say take a closer look
Deep down I'm still the same.
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our own private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been.
There may not be a jukebox, but I still love to dance

For Me It's You Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Everybody has a gift that's given to them
When they come into this life
Something they can do better than others
And never really have to try
For the longest time I didn't know what I was born to do
But the moment that I took you in my arms
And held you close to me, I knew.
For me it's you
Just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world
Can love you as good as me
I don't know why
But it's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you.
Some can take a brush
And make colors and canvas a work of art
While some can swing a bat
And knock a little white ball clear out of the park
And I can't help but notice when one does what they do best
They give it all they've got and love it
With all of their heart and nothing less.
For me it's you
It just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world
Can love you good as me
I don't know why
It's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you.
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you...
When they come into this life
Something they can do better than others
And never really have to try
For the longest time I didn't know what I was born to do
But the moment that I took you in my arms
And held you close to me, I knew.
For me it's you
Just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world
Can love you as good as me
I don't know why
But it's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you.
Some can take a brush
And make colors and canvas a work of art
While some can swing a bat
And knock a little white ball clear out of the park
And I can't help but notice when one does what they do best
They give it all they've got and love it
With all of their heart and nothing less.
For me it's you
It just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world
Can love you good as me
I don't know why
It's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you.
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you...
I've Got What It Takes Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
You need a man with an honest heart
Someone who loves you for who you are
Someone who's promises won't break
Honey, I've got what it takes.
You need a man with a tender touch
Two strong arms to wrap you up
And love all your nights away
Baby, I've got what it takes.
Girl you can search to the ends of the earth
If that's what you need to do
But under all the stars there's just one heart
Meant for lovin' you
And I'm gonna prove to you babe
I've got what it takes.
You need a man who'll walk the line
Standin' right here by your side
Until his dyin' day
Darlin', I've got what it takes.
Girl you can search to the ends of the earth
If that's what you need to do
But under all the stars there's just one heart
Meant for lovin' you
And I'm gonna prove to you babe
I've got what it takes.
Girl you can search to the ends of the earth
If that's what you need to do
But under all the stars there's just one heart
Meant for lovin' you.

And I'm gonna prove to you baby
I've got what it takes.
You need a man with an honest heart
Baby, I've got what it takes...
Someone who loves you for who you are
Someone who's promises won't break
Honey, I've got what it takes.
You need a man with a tender touch
Two strong arms to wrap you up
And love all your nights away
Baby, I've got what it takes.
Girl you can search to the ends of the earth

On Again, Off Again Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
She locks him out, but leaves the key
Where he knows it'll always be
In their secret place
He comes and goes and she never knows
Just where she stands in this crazy game he plays
He's always been this way.
On again, off again
It's breakin' her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's gettin' old
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again.
She ain't gettin' any younger
And he ain't gettin' any closer
To buyin' her a ring
And every time she brings it up
He does his dance and tells her anything
To keep her on a string.
It's On again, off again
It's breakin' her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's gettin' old
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again.
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
'Cause forever can't begin 'til this thing ends
This on again, off again...
Where he knows it'll always be
In their secret place
He comes and goes and she never knows
Just where she stands in this crazy game he plays
He's always been this way.
On again, off again
It's breakin' her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's gettin' old
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again.
She ain't gettin' any younger
And he ain't gettin' any closer
To buyin' her a ring
And every time she brings it up
He does his dance and tells her anything
To keep her on a string.
It's On again, off again
It's breakin' her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's gettin' old
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again.
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
'Cause forever can't begin 'til this thing ends
This on again, off again...
Walkin' The Line Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Girl, I swear you dang near took my breath
The way you sashayed in this bar all by yourself
You say you've heard about me
And all my ramblin' ways
If I could have a gal like you
I'd change today.
I've been called an old tomcat
Been in and out of this and that
I hugged 'em, I kissed 'em, I loved 'em
And I left 'em behind
But I'd do right by you
If you was mine
I'd spend all my time
Walkin' the line.
Ain't no doubt you've done stoled my heart
I can almost see us walkin' arm in arm
This country boy never dreamed
He'd live to see the day
He'd be willin' to throw
His little black book away.
Yeah I've been called an old tomcat
Been in and out of this and that
I hugged 'em, I kissed 'em, I loved 'em
And I left 'em behind
Lord, but I'd do right by you
If you was mine
I'd spend all my time
Walkin' the line.
Yeah I've been called an old tomcat
Been in and out of this and that
I hugged 'em, I kissed 'em, I loved 'em
And I left 'em behind My my
Oh but I'd do right by you
If you was mine
I'd spend all my time
Walkin' the line.
Yes, I would
I'd spend all my time
Walkin' the line...
The way you sashayed in this bar all by yourself
You say you've heard about me
And all my ramblin' ways
If I could have a gal like you
I'd change today.
I've been called an old tomcat
Been in and out of this and that
I hugged 'em, I kissed 'em, I loved 'em
And I left 'em behind
But I'd do right by you
If you was mine
I'd spend all my time
Walkin' the line.
Ain't no doubt you've done stoled my heart
I can almost see us walkin' arm in arm
This country boy never dreamed
He'd live to see the day

His little black book away.
Yeah I've been called an old tomcat
Been in and out of this and that
I hugged 'em, I kissed 'em, I loved 'em
And I left 'em behind
Lord, but I'd do right by you

Back To Texas Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I left Houston 'round two a.m. in the middle of a pourin' rain
Drove all night to Oklahoma, scared I'd never see you again
I found you in Tulsa, hopin' you'd agree to come on home with me
I've been feelin' like one lone star lost in the midnight blue
Darlin' you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't get back to Texas without you
I never wanted to see the end of those Amarillo summer nights
I'd give anything to hold you again 'neath the Austin city lights
Say you'll come back baby, we can find our dreams down in Abilene
I've been feelin' like one lone star lost in the midnight blue
Darlin' you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't get back to Texas without you
I've been feelin' like one lone star lost in the midnight blue
Darlin' you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't go back to Texas
But I can't go back to Texas
But I can't go back to Texas without you
I can't go back to Texas
I can't go back to Texas
Without you
Drove all night to Oklahoma, scared I'd never see you again
I found you in Tulsa, hopin' you'd agree to come on home with me
I've been feelin' like one lone star lost in the midnight blue
Darlin' you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't get back to Texas without you
I never wanted to see the end of those Amarillo summer nights
I'd give anything to hold you again 'neath the Austin city lights
Say you'll come back baby, we can find our dreams down in Abilene
I've been feelin' like one lone star lost in the midnight blue
Darlin' you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't get back to Texas without you
I've been feelin' like one lone star lost in the midnight blue
Darlin' you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't go back to Texas
But I can't go back to Texas
But I can't go back to Texas without you
I can't go back to Texas
I can't go back to Texas
Without you
Old One Better Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Well, she said when she left that a change might do me good
So I took her advice and I did the best I could
I've gone from this to that 'til I'm nothing like I used to be
In fact, everyone says I'm a totally different me.
Got a new life but I still like the old one better
It's nice but it just won't ever quite be the same
I have everything a man would want but I can't forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
I pulled up my roots in the country and I moved uptown
Went from a slower pace to running with a faster crowd
I found a sweet young girl to replace all the love we knew
But I guess there's just some things you can't improve.
Got a new life but I still like the old one better
It's nice but it just won't ever quite be the same
I have everything a man could want but I can't forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
I have everything a man would want but I can't forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
Yeah, I got a new life but I still like the old one better...
So I took her advice and I did the best I could
I've gone from this to that 'til I'm nothing like I used to be
In fact, everyone says I'm a totally different me.
Got a new life but I still like the old one better
It's nice but it just won't ever quite be the same
I have everything a man would want but I can't forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
I pulled up my roots in the country and I moved uptown
Went from a slower pace to running with a faster crowd
I found a sweet young girl to replace all the love we knew
But I guess there's just some things you can't improve.
Got a new life but I still like the old one better
It's nice but it just won't ever quite be the same
I have everything a man could want but I can't forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
I have everything a man would want but I can't forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better.
Yeah, I got a new life but I still like the old one better...
I'm From The Country Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Way back up in the country
Back in the hills
Down in the hollows where the folks are real
Livin' with the crazzies and the old wildcats
Sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps
That's where I'm from and I'm proud to say
I'm from the country and I like it that way
Everybody knows everybody
Everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation
Kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah we know how to work and we know how to play
We're from the country and we like it that way
All day long we work in the fields
Then bring it on home for a home cooked meal
We love ya like Sunday
Treat ya like Saturday night
And when the beds get full we can sleep in the hay (Hey)
We're from the country and we like it that way
Everybody knows everybody
Everybody calls you friend
You don't need an invitation

Yeah we know how to work and we know how to play

I'm from the country and I like it that way
Everybody knows everybody

Big Love Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
You need a man to get lost in
With a heart big enough to roam
No more fences for you to look through
With your heart caught in a strangle hold
I've got a love full of wide open spaces
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
When two hearts make a stand together
On the solid rock of trust
They could be a million miles from each other
And still be side by side in love
I want to love you like that forever
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
You never dreamed you could have all you ever wanted
Darlin' you can have it all with me
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
With a heart big enough to roam
No more fences for you to look through
With your heart caught in a strangle hold
I've got a love full of wide open spaces
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
When two hearts make a stand together
On the solid rock of trust
They could be a million miles from each other
And still be side by side in love
I want to love you like that forever
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
You never dreamed you could have all you ever wanted
Darlin' you can have it all with me
I've got a big love
Wild and free
Room to grow
As big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a raging flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
I've got a big love
Cowgirl Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Well, my car broke down outside of town
Up ahead I saw a farm
Some white-faced heifers chewin' on that cud
thought cows can't do no harm.
Lackin' better sense I jumped the fence
And went crashin' through the corn
From the corner of my eye I wondered why
One of them cows had horns.
Well, he seemed to be approachin' me
At quite a rapid pace
Does he want me to pet him
Or does he just want to race?
Next thing I knew the sky's so blue
And I'm up above the trees
And I'm face down layin' on the ground
Starin' up at somebody's knees.
And I said with calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
With calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl.
Now I'm her man and she's my girl
And we're livin' on the farm
We spend all day making hay
Out behind the barn.
Well, our little boy wants to grow up
And be exactly just like me
But our little girl says
Hey you all, I wonder what I'll be?
And I said with calves like that gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
With calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl.
Yeah, with calves like that gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
With calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl...
Up ahead I saw a farm
Some white-faced heifers chewin' on that cud
thought cows can't do no harm.
Lackin' better sense I jumped the fence
And went crashin' through the corn
From the corner of my eye I wondered why
One of them cows had horns.
Well, he seemed to be approachin' me
At quite a rapid pace
Does he want me to pet him
Or does he just want to race?
Next thing I knew the sky's so blue
And I'm up above the trees
And I'm face down layin' on the ground
Starin' up at somebody's knees.
And I said with calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
With calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl.
Now I'm her man and she's my girl
And we're livin' on the farm
We spend all day making hay
Out behind the barn.
Well, our little boy wants to grow up
And be exactly just like me
But our little girl says
Hey you all, I wonder what I'll be?
And I said with calves like that gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
With calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl.
Yeah, with calves like that gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
With calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl...
Good Ol' Fashioned Love Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
The kind of love that I've been looking for
I'm not sure they make it anymore
It's easy to fall for a pretty smile
It works real good for a while
Yill the new wears off
And it starts to fall apart.
Want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love
The kind that stays together when the going gets tough
I don't want a new love they just don't last long enough
I want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love.
I know it's a rare thing now to find
But I just don't want any other kind
A love like that's worth the sacrafice
If the heart's been broken I can fix it up
All I need is someone like me.
Want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love
The kind that stays together when the going gets tough
I don't want a new love they just don't last long enough
I want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love.
I want a well made out of style good ol' fashioned love...
I'm not sure they make it anymore
It's easy to fall for a pretty smile
It works real good for a while
Yill the new wears off
And it starts to fall apart.
Want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love
The kind that stays together when the going gets tough
I don't want a new love they just don't last long enough
I want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love.
I know it's a rare thing now to find
But I just don't want any other kind
A love like that's worth the sacrafice
If the heart's been broken I can fix it up
All I need is someone like me.
Want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love
The kind that stays together when the going gets tough
I don't want a new love they just don't last long enough
I want a well made out of style, good ol' fashioned love.
I want a well made out of style good ol' fashioned love...

Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need.
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Well, I said friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got...
If I Stay Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Lately the ties that bind
Feel like a noose around my neck
Choking the life from me
And leaving my dreams gasping for breath
I've lost sight
And so have you
Of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the line.
And I can't live like this no more
Knowing just outside that door
There's a road
That leaves this all behind.
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay.
If you really love me
If you care at all
You'll gladly step aside
I've given you the best of me
And now the rest of me
Is gonna take a ride.
There's a gravel road that turns into a two-lane blacktop highway
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line
To a man I haven't been in quite awhile.
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay...
Feel like a noose around my neck
Choking the life from me
And leaving my dreams gasping for breath
I've lost sight
And so have you
Of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the line.
And I can't live like this no more
Knowing just outside that door
There's a road
That leaves this all behind.
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay.
If you really love me
If you care at all
You'll gladly step aside
I've given you the best of me
And now the rest of me
Is gonna take a ride.
There's a gravel road that turns into a two-lane blacktop highway
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line

And there's nothin' in this world you can say

I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay...
Don't Love Make A Diamond Shine Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Tommy and Janey barely eighteen
Holding hands at the jewelry store
Eyes open wide staring inside
At the ring that they wanted for her
Mister bring it closer mister can we hold it
I think it's gonna fit just fine
As he slipped it on her hand Janey kissed her man
Don't love make a diamond shine.
Don't love make a diamond shine
It don't matter if it costs a dime
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love.
A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt
If the heart don't wear it
With three little words it'll knock you blind
Don't love make a diamond shine.
There's a rich lady with a new Mercedes
Livin' up in a high rise
She's got a big ol' rock on her left hand
That looks cheaper than a Cracker Jack prize.
'Cause her man don't know that it ain't the dough
No all he needs to spend is time
And that big marquis'd be a laser beam
Don't love make a diamond shine.
Don't love make a diamond shine
It don't matter if it costs a dime
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love.
A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt
If the heart don't wear it
With three little words it'll knock you blind
Don't love make a diamond shine.
Don't love make a diamond shine
It don't matter if it costs a dime
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love.
A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt
If the heart don't wear it
With three little words it'll knock you blind
Don't love make a diamond shine.
Don't love make a diamond shine...
Holding hands at the jewelry store
Eyes open wide staring inside
At the ring that they wanted for her
Mister bring it closer mister can we hold it
I think it's gonna fit just fine
As he slipped it on her hand Janey kissed her man
Don't love make a diamond shine.
Don't love make a diamond shine
It don't matter if it costs a dime
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sittin' on the hand of a girl in love.
A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt
If the heart don't wear it
With three little words it'll knock you blind
Don't love make a diamond shine.

Tucson Too Soon Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Tonight on a plane bound for Dallas
I see the bright lights of Tucson below
Shining on all of the mem'ries
I thought I'd finally let go.
It's been almost a year now
Since I told her I could not stay
And this aching in my heart that I'm feeling
Now is the price I guess I'll have to pay.
For leaving Tucson too soon
At the time it was something that I just had to do
But tonight face to face with that old desert moon
It seems I left Tucson too soon.
From thirty five thousand feet up in the sky
The truth becomes clearer you know
'Cause it wasn't till now that I realized
The fool that I was long ago.
For leaving Tucson too soon
At the time it was something that I just had to do
But tonight face to face with that old desert moon
It seems I left Tucson too soon.
It seems I left Tucson too soon...
I see the bright lights of Tucson below
Shining on all of the mem'ries
I thought I'd finally let go.
It's been almost a year now
Since I told her I could not stay
And this aching in my heart that I'm feeling
Now is the price I guess I'll have to pay.
For leaving Tucson too soon
At the time it was something that I just had to do
But tonight face to face with that old desert moon
It seems I left Tucson too soon.
From thirty five thousand feet up in the sky
The truth becomes clearer you know
'Cause it wasn't till now that I realized
The fool that I was long ago.
For leaving Tucson too soon
At the time it was something that I just had to do
But tonight face to face with that old desert moon
It seems I left Tucson too soon.
It seems I left Tucson too soon...
I Don't Believe That's How You Feel Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I don't believe that's how you feel
I don't believe that you don't love me
Guess I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the things I told you now.
I don't believe that we're all through
I don't believe that it's all over
Let's forget who's right or wrong
And remember we belong together
Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again.
Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again.
I don't believe that's how you feel
I don't believe that you don't love me
Guess I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the things I told you now.
Guess, I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the things I told you now...
I don't believe that you don't love me
Guess I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the things I told you now.
I don't believe that we're all through
I don't believe that it's all over
Let's forget who's right or wrong
And remember we belong together
Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again.
Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again.
I don't believe that's how you feel
I don't believe that you don't love me
Guess I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the things I told you now.
Guess, I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the things I told you now...
Driving Me Out Of Your Mind Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him I see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
Can't he see that you still haven't gotten over me
And you're just not in the mood for company
Is he really fool enough to think he has a chance
Buyin' one red rose and asking you to dance
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him I see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
A broken heart like yours can't possibly mend overnight
So why's he out there holding you so tight
Thought I'd have all the time I need to make up for my wrongs
Someone tell me what the hell is going on
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him I see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
Driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him I see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
Can't he see that you still haven't gotten over me
And you're just not in the mood for company
Is he really fool enough to think he has a chance
Buyin' one red rose and asking you to dance
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him I see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
A broken heart like yours can't possibly mend overnight
So why's he out there holding you so tight
Thought I'd have all the time I need to make up for my wrongs
Someone tell me what the hell is going on
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him I see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
Driving me out of your mind
I Love You, That's All Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I don't need to go on pretending
I don't need the key to your door
Why would I leave goodbye open-ended
That's not what goodbye is for
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall
I'll miss you I love you that's all
Sometimes I get sentimental
But what would I say if I called
I feel like I'm caught in the middle
Somewhere between flyin' and takin' a fall
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall
I'll miss you I love you that's all
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall
It's over I love you that's all
I'll miss you I love you that's all
I don't need the key to your door
Why would I leave goodbye open-ended
That's not what goodbye is for
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall
I'll miss you I love you that's all
Sometimes I get sentimental
But what would I say if I called
I feel like I'm caught in the middle
Somewhere between flyin' and takin' a fall
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall
I'll miss you I love you that's all
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall
It's over I love you that's all
I'll miss you I love you that's all
Walking To Jerusalem Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I dressed up in my best
My Ropers and my vest
And waited by the door with these roses
Till you came walkin' in
With your high falutin' friends
So busy lookin' down your noses
Now here you are ignorin' me
Girl I might as well be
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
You wore your boots last night
You kissed me and held me tight
You said you'd always be my cowgirl
But tonight you're hangin' out
With that Christian Dior crowd
So where does that leave me now girl
You're as cold as Polar regions
I oughta join the French Foreign Legion And Go
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
I can see me in a long robe
Studyin' the book of Job and
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
And ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin'
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
And walkin' to Jerusalem
And walkin' to Jerusalem
My Ropers and my vest
And waited by the door with these roses
Till you came walkin' in
With your high falutin' friends
So busy lookin' down your noses
Now here you are ignorin' me
Girl I might as well be
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
You wore your boots last night
You kissed me and held me tight
You said you'd always be my cowgirl
But tonight you're hangin' out
With that Christian Dior crowd
So where does that leave me now girl
You're as cold as Polar regions
I oughta join the French Foreign Legion And Go
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
Ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
I can see me in a long robe
Studyin' the book of Job and
Walkin' to Jerusalem
Marchin' with Methuselah
Readin' signs in Arabic
And ravin' like a lunatic
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin'
By the time you tell me I'm the one
I'll be stickin' out my thumb
And walkin' to Jerusalem
And walkin' to Jerusalem
And walkin' to Jerusalem

Don't be afraid darling you can tell me
What it takes to make your world turn
If you're willing there's time
And if you're so inclined
Just give me a sign

Whatever it is you want I want to please you
I wanna take love lessons baby real slow
Teach me everything I need to know
Teach me everything I need to know
4 To 1 In Atlanta Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
Oh wild Billy told me even
I would have a chance
If I took a trip down the Georgia highway
and asked some girl to dance
Billy said he'd been there
had the best time of his life
He went to stay for the weekend
and he came back with a wife
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,
I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor
and if I play my cards just right
I might find an angel
whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta
and I'm on my way tonight
I can't wait to get there
I know she's waiting for me
With eyes as blue as Texas skies
like I ain't never seen
And as I think about it
my heart starts to pound
I throw this thing into lower gear
and crush that hammer down
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,
I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor
and if I play my cards just right
I might find an angel
whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta
and I'm on my way tonight
Here comes a confrontation
with the highway patrol
I hope beneath those flashing lights
there's an understanding soul
I've only got one story
I'm a man without love
Can we talk about it ma'am
before you write me up
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,
I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor
and if I play my cards just right
I might find an angel
whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta
and I'm on my way tonight
I'm on my way tonight...
I would have a chance
If I took a trip down the Georgia highway
and asked some girl to dance
Billy said he'd been there
had the best time of his life
He went to stay for the weekend
and he came back with a wife
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,
I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor
and if I play my cards just right
I might find an angel
whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta
and I'm on my way tonight
I can't wait to get there
I know she's waiting for me
With eyes as blue as Texas skies
like I ain't never seen
And as I think about it
my heart starts to pound
I throw this thing into lower gear
and crush that hammer down
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta,
I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor
and if I play my cards just right
I might find an angel
whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta
and I'm on my way tonight
Here comes a confrontation

I hope beneath those flashing lights

I've only got one story
I'm a man without love

I'm on my way tonight...
Heaven In My Woman's Eyes Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
It's cold this time of year and the people
In this city make it colder
They've all forgotten what it means
To lend a hand or cry on a shoulder
In this land of opportunity we fight like hell
To make an extra dime
It would surely get the best of me
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That gives the inspiration that I need
Sometimes it seems a man is born
To lose no matter how hard he tries
Life on earth would sure be hell
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes
Simplicity was once a way of life
But now it's buried with our past
A dollar used to go a long long way
But now it just goes fast
Oh, how I wish that I could be
As free as our union eagle flies
But the only time I'm free is when
I view the heaven in my woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That gives the inspiration that I need
Sometimes it seems a man is born
To lose no matter how hard he tries
Life on earth would sure be hell
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes
Life on earth would sure be hell
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes...
In this city make it colder
They've all forgotten what it means
To lend a hand or cry on a shoulder
In this land of opportunity we fight like hell
To make an extra dime
It would surely get the best of me
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That gives the inspiration that I need
Sometimes it seems a man is born
To lose no matter how hard he tries
Life on earth would sure be hell
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes
Simplicity was once a way of life
But now it's buried with our past
A dollar used to go a long long way
But now it just goes fast
Oh, how I wish that I could be
As free as our union eagle flies
But the only time I'm free is when
I view the heaven in my woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes
That gives the inspiration that I need
Sometimes it seems a man is born
To lose no matter how hard he tries
Life on earth would sure be hell
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes
Life on earth would sure be hell
Without the heaven in my woman's eyes...
Honky-Tonk Dancing Machine Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I could tell she was a hot rod when she walked in all alone
Made a pit stop at the front bar, in a puff of smoke was gone
I followed her smell of perfume, cause she was too far out of sight
Tried to catch up but the girl was running one hell of a race tonight
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
All it takes to keep her tuned up is boots and Wrangler jeans
She scoots about fifty times around the floor on one shot of Jim Beam
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
There's a guy on every corner, watching her make the bend
Hoping he'll be the next one to take her for a spin
She's not the kind that can be hot wired with money or romance
Got a body for pleasure, but all she wants to do is dance
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
All it takes to keep her tuned up is boots and Wrangler jeans
She scoots about fifty times around the floor on one shot of Jim Beam
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
She scoots about fifty times around the floor on one shot of Jim Beam
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
Made a pit stop at the front bar, in a puff of smoke was gone
I followed her smell of perfume, cause she was too far out of sight
Tried to catch up but the girl was running one hell of a race tonight
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
All it takes to keep her tuned up is boots and Wrangler jeans
She scoots about fifty times around the floor on one shot of Jim Beam
She's a real low maintenance, country music beat driven, honky-tonk dancin' machine
There's a guy on every corner, watching her make the bend
Hoping he'll be the next one to take her for a spin
She's not the kind that can be hot wired with money or romance

You Lied To Me Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
You looked at me as only you can look at me
You touched my cheek and told me not to cry
But you said you'd found somebody you loved more than me
And you told me I'd forget you by and by
But you lied to me, yes you lied to me
You said time would close the wound that bled inside of me
But every breath I take brings back your memory
You said I'd forget you, but you lied to me
Monday, I said Tuesday you'd be off my mind
Then I gave myself 'til Wednesday then on down the line
Funny how September turns to June so fast
And you told me this pain was not the kind to last
But you lied to me, yes you lied to me
You said time would close the wound that bled inside of me
But every breath I take brings back your memory
You said I'd forget you, but you lied to me
Oh you said I'd forget you, but you lied to me
You touched my cheek and told me not to cry
But you said you'd found somebody you loved more than me
And you told me I'd forget you by and by
But you lied to me, yes you lied to me
You said time would close the wound that bled inside of me
But every breath I take brings back your memory
You said I'd forget you, but you lied to me
Monday, I said Tuesday you'd be off my mind
Then I gave myself 'til Wednesday then on down the line
Funny how September turns to June so fast
And you told me this pain was not the kind to last
But you lied to me, yes you lied to me
You said time would close the wound that bled inside of me
But every breath I take brings back your memory
You said I'd forget you, but you lied to me
Oh you said I'd forget you, but you lied to me
Down On The Bottom Lyrics – Tracy Byrd
I can't say looking back right now
Just where our love went wrong
But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone
Made me a promise she'd be true till the rivers all ran dry
The rivers still runnin' but she's long said goodbye
That's why I'm down on the bottom
Where the Moccasin's King and the big tall cypress grow
Seems the only place that a country boy
Can find some peace of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
Got friends in the world outside
But none quite like ol' Cajun Joe
He lives down a slough where the river used to flow
Worked real hard most of his life
Till the pushin' came to shove
Gave it all he had but he just couldn't rise above
That's why he's down at the bottom
Where the alligator swims and the old grey moss hangs low
Seems the only place that a country boy
Can find some piece of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
I can get back up, here on the bottom
On the Natchez river bottom...
Just where our love went wrong
But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone
Made me a promise she'd be true till the rivers all ran dry
The rivers still runnin' but she's long said goodbye
That's why I'm down on the bottom
Where the Moccasin's King and the big tall cypress grow
Seems the only place that a country boy
Can find some peace of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
Got friends in the world outside
But none quite like ol' Cajun Joe
He lives down a slough where the river used to flow
Worked real hard most of his life
Till the pushin' came to shove
Gave it all he had but he just couldn't rise above
That's why he's down at the bottom
Where the alligator swims and the old grey moss hangs low
Seems the only place that a country boy
Can find some piece of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
I can get back up, here on the bottom
On the Natchez river bottom...
