Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Ice creates the water that's no longer runnin' under it
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
The jukebox plays Hank, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, it's a given
I'll be L-I-V-N, livin'
We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it's a given
I'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Neon lights flashing bright 'til you're almost hypnotized
Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy
Comin' and goin', always rollin' with the flow
Bartender, pour our drinks, Código, do a shot
You think you're tall and bulletproof until somebody says you're not
You step outside thinkin' you're gonna show 'em you are
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, it's a given
We'll be L-I-V-N, livin'
We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, it's a given
We'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Yeah, that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge

Two More Wishes
There must have been a genie at the bottom of the bottle
'Cause I was hopin' real hard that you'd appear
The temperature here keeps gettin' hotter
So let's go ahead and get on outta here
'Cause I've got two more wishes
I hear that good things come in threes, and I believe it
And I'm seeing one that's comin' true tonight
The way my heart is feeling's got me thinkin'
My future's standin' right here before my eyes
And I've got two more wishes
Yes, I've got two more wishes
You'd say you're mine
For the rest of time
Every day, we'd fall in love
And that's what I want
You'd say you're mine
For the rest of time
Every day, we'd fall in love
And that's what I want
There must have been a genie at the bottom of the bottle
'Cause I was hopin' real hard that you'd appear
The temperature here keeps gettin' hotter
So let's go ahead and get on outta here
'Cause I've got two more wishes
Yes, I have got two more wishes
'Cause I was hopin' real hard that you'd appear
The temperature here keeps gettin' hotter
So let's go ahead and get on outta here
'Cause I've got two more wishes
I hear that good things come in threes, and I believe it
And I'm seeing one that's comin' true tonight
The way my heart is feeling's got me thinkin'
My future's standin' right here before my eyes
And I've got two more wishes
Yes, I've got two more wishes
You'd say you're mine
For the rest of time
Every day, we'd fall in love
And that's what I want
You'd say you're mine
For the rest of time
Every day, we'd fall in love
And that's what I want
There must have been a genie at the bottom of the bottle
'Cause I was hopin' real hard that you'd appear
The temperature here keeps gettin' hotter
So let's go ahead and get on outta here
'Cause I've got two more wishes
Yes, I have got two more wishes

Some Nights
She took off down the road
Towards Austin, and I lost it
I heard she wound up in Fort Worth
No, I ain't been the same since
My heart's as hard as that old Caliche dirt
Some days are better than others
Some are mothers
I ain't even gonna lie
Some days, I don't wanna get up
I just wanna give up
And don't even get me started on some nights
I guess I could always call her, but why bother?
Hell, she won't pick up that phone
Got no pride left to swallow, so tomorrow
I'll try again to just move on
Some days are better than others
Some are mothers
I ain't even gonna lie
Some days, I don't wanna get up
I just wanna give up
Don't even get me started on some nights
Some days are better than others
Some are mothers
I ain't even gonna lie
Some days, I don't wanna get up
I just wanna give up
And don't even get me started
Some days are better than others
Some are mothers
I ain't even gonna lie
Some days, I don't wanna get up
I just wanna give up
And don't even get me started on some nights
Mmm, some nights
She took off down the road
Towards Austin, and I lost it
Towards Austin, and I lost it
I heard she wound up in Fort Worth
No, I ain't been the same since
My heart's as hard as that old Caliche dirt
Some days are better than others
Some are mothers
I ain't even gonna lie
Some days, I don't wanna get up
I just wanna give up
And don't even get me started on some nights

God and Country Music
God and country music, like whiskey and a prayer
Like Johnny Cash's arm 'round Billy Graham
God and country music, they both never really change
You find 'em when you need 'em where you stand
There's always lost and the found
Darkness and the I saw the light
It's livin' in those small towns
And some church and backroad honky tonk tonight
It's a dance between the sin and the salvation
Come hell or high water, there's two things still worth saving
God and country music
God and country music
God and country music, they both show you the truth
You've seen the low of the valley and the highs of the mountains too
Folded hands and guitar strings, jukebox preachers and angels singin'
Call you like they knew ya, between the hell and Hallelujah
It's always lost and the found
Darkness and the I saw the light
It's still livin' in those small towns
And some church and backroad honky tonk tonight
It's a dance between the sin and the salvation
Come hell or high water, there's two things still worth saving
God and country music
God and country music
There's always lost and the found
Darkness and the I saw the light
It's still livin' in those small towns
And some church and backroad honky tonk tonight
It's a dance between the sin and the salvation
Come hell or high water, there's two things still worth saving

Blue Water
The whole world's spinning in the wrong direction
Body and soul needs a resurrection
Ain't had a single thing go my way
And I can't tell ya how many days
I need blue water, I need a sunny day
Blue water, sail all my cares away
Head out to see when the tide rolls in
Feel like a brand new man again
I need blue
Gonna drown my troubles in blue water
Rolled all the way through Arizona
Thought I found the answer in Sedona
This desert's gettin' old to me
I need a little bit of that deep blue sea
I need blue water, I need a sunny day
Blue water, sail all my cares away
Head out to see when the tide rolls in
Feel like a brand new man again
I need blue
Gonna drown my troubles in blue water
I drove right though the heart of Texas
Miles and miles of empty stretches
Parked out by the lake near Santa Fe
Started thinkin' 'bout Aransas Bay
I need blue water
Gonna drown my troubles in blue water
I need the motion of the ocean
That's the only magic potion
Blue water, I need a sunny day
Blue water, sail all my cares away
Head out to see when the tide rolls in
Feel like a brand new man again
I need blue
Gonna drown my troubles in blue water
Gonna drown my troubles in blue
Gonna drown my troubles in blue water
Pick out a sunny day
Blue
Drown my troubles in blue water
Drown my troubles in blue water
Body and soul needs a resurrection
Ain't had a single thing go my way
And I can't tell ya how many days
I need blue water, I need a sunny day
Blue water, sail all my cares away
Head out to see when the tide rolls in
Feel like a brand new man again
I need blue
Gonna drown my troubles in blue water
Rolled all the way through Arizona

Sometimes Love
She was a sometimes love
An every-now-and-then touch
That momentarily
Brought out the best in me
I didn't think that much of it
My heart can easily love it or leave it
Told myself I didn't need it
And years have gone by
She's moved on, so have I
Or have I?
That part of my life
That chapter I thought I'd closed
I close my eyes, but she's not gone
Oh, why am I still holding on?
Sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
I never thought a thing about the things I said to her
And her to me
Love was just a word and all our promises we never meant to keep
Or so I thought
She was a sometimes love
But sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
And years have gone by
She's moved on, so have I
Or have I?
That part of my life
That chapter I thought I'd closed
I close my eyes, but she's not gone
Oh, why am I still holding on?
She was a sometimes love
But sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
Sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
An every-now-and-then touch
That momentarily
Brought out the best in me
I didn't think that much of it
My heart can easily love it or leave it
Told myself I didn't need it
And years have gone by
She's moved on, so have I
Or have I?
That part of my life
That chapter I thought I'd closed
I close my eyes, but she's not gone
Oh, why am I still holding on?
Sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
I never thought a thing about the things I said to her
And her to me
Love was just a word and all our promises we never meant to keep
Or so I thought
She was a sometimes love
But sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
And years have gone by
She's moved on, so have I

Oh, why am I still holding on?

Código
Baby, just like you
It's something new
I just had to try
I didn't plan on it
But a sip and you'll want it
It's a beautiful high
The perfect recipe
Baby, you and me
The secret's been found
Let's pour one right now
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don't you know
A little sip and you're ready to roll
They make it down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
Any way you like it
Any way you wanna try it
I'll try it too
I don't care if it's a habit
As long as you have it
And I have it with you
Hasta la Cruz
I'll be singing to you
All the way home
We'll make this our song
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don't you know
A little sip and you're ready to roll
They make it down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
Straight up or on the rocks
Dressed up or not
Make it a surprise
Throw it back and close your eyes
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don't you know
A little sip and you're ready to roll
They make it down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
I take it with me everywhere I go
Best tequila, baby, don't you know
A little rip and you're ready to roll
They make 'em down in Mexico
A little state called Jalisco
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
Where the beautiful agaves grow
I'm talkin' 'bout Código
It's something new

Old Violin
(originally by Johnny Paycheck)
I can't recall one time in my life
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel like I could lay down and get up no more
It's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before
Tonight I feel like an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say
I only wish this feeling would just go away
I guess it's 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I've ever faced
'Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way
I've tried
So I asked myself, I said "George, where in the hell do you go from here?"
Then like a fool, I turned around and I looked in the mirror
And there I was seeing an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
So one more time, just to be sure
I said "George, where you gonna go from here?"
And you know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
When I looked into the mirror
'Cause there I was seeing an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
And just like that, it hit me why that old violin and I were just alike
We give our all to music, and soon we'll give our life
Precious memories, how they linger
I can't recall one time in my life
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel like I could lay down and get up no more
It's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before
Tonight I feel like an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say
I only wish this feeling would just go away
I guess it's 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I've ever faced
'Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way
I've tried
So I asked myself, I said "George, where in the hell do you go from here?"
Then like a fool, I turned around and I looked in the mirror
And there I was seeing an old violin
Soon to be put away and never played again
So one more time, just to be sure
I said "George, where you gonna go from here?"
And you know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
When I looked into the mirror
'Cause there I was seeing an old violin

And just like that, it hit me why that old violin and I were just alike

Take Me Away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Not today, not tonight, not any other time
Girl, it ain't gonna happen
If you're wonderin' or askin'
It's the farthest thing from my mind
Any place, anywhere, neither here nor there
Girl, that ain't happenin'
Can't pull no fast ones
Nothing's gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Girl, my hands are where they wanna be
Yours and mine just suits me fine
Now we're talking
Ain't gonna be no walking
Locked into your eyes right now
Like the sun in the sky, like the stars flying by
That old moon is shining
It's perfect timing
Nothing's gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Baby, nothing's gonna break this chain
The strongest winds of a hurricane
Nothing's ever gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Your breath on my neck right now
Got me torn up and down, got my head spinnin' 'round
Let's take it faster
'Cause you know what I'm after
Nothing's ever gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Not today, not tonight, not any other time
Girl, it ain't gonna happen
If you're wonderin' or askin'
It's the farthest thing from my mind
Any place, anywhere, neither here nor there
Girl, that ain't happenin'
Can't pull no fast ones
Nothing's gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Girl, my hands are where they wanna be
Yours and mine just suits me fine
Now we're talking
Ain't gonna be no walking
Locked into your eyes right now
Like the sun in the sky, like the stars flying by
That old moon is shining
It's perfect timing
Nothing's gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Baby, nothing's gonna break this chain
The strongest winds of a hurricane
Nothing's ever gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Your breath on my neck right now
Got me torn up and down, got my head spinnin' 'round
Let's take it faster
'Cause you know what I'm after
Nothing's ever gonna take me away from you
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away
Take me away from you
Nothing's gonna take me away

The Weight Of The Badge
It's gonna be a long one, another graveyard shift
As he says goodbye to his wife and kids
He spent his life just like his dad's
Driving away under the weight of the badge
He's seen it all in his fifteen years
Watching our backs, facing our fears
Lord knows it ain't no easy task
Keeping us safe under the weight of the badge
He swore that oath to protect and serve
Pours his heart and soul into both those words
Lays his life on the line
The line he walks is razor fine
Tempered strength is always tough
But he ain't gonna buckle
Under the weight of the badge
Not that long ago he woke up in the hospital
With his wife and kids praying by his bed
He said, "I'm gonna be alright, there's just sometimes you gotta fight"
And the truth is nothing truer could be said
I do it for us and I do it for them
And I ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge
It doesn't weigh a lot until you put it on
And the weight of it is staggering
Then duty calls each time
He knows he's got to answer
And it's all in the handling the weight
Oh, the heavy weight of the badge
And he ain't gonna buckle
Under the weight of the badge
No, he ain't gonna buckle
Under the weight of the badge
As he says goodbye to his wife and kids
He spent his life just like his dad's
Driving away under the weight of the badge
He's seen it all in his fifteen years
Watching our backs, facing our fears
Lord knows it ain't no easy task
Keeping us safe under the weight of the badge
He swore that oath to protect and serve
Pours his heart and soul into both those words
Lays his life on the line
The line he walks is razor fine
Tempered strength is always tough
But he ain't gonna buckle
Under the weight of the badge
Not that long ago he woke up in the hospital
With his wife and kids praying by his bed
He said, "I'm gonna be alright, there's just sometimes you gotta fight"
And the truth is nothing truer could be said
I do it for us and I do it for them
And I ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge
It doesn't weigh a lot until you put it on
And the weight of it is staggering
Then duty calls each time
He knows he's got to answer
And it's all in the handling the weight
Oh, the heavy weight of the badge
And he ain't gonna buckle
Under the weight of the badge
No, he ain't gonna buckle

Honky Tonk Time Machine
Well he comes in here on the first and fifteenth
Pockets just jinglin' like a tambourine
Makes a beeline over to that old jukebox
Fills it up to the top and needle drops
And it's off like a rocket in a neon haze
Spinnin' 'em back to the good old days
Beer gets to flowin' and the whiskey pours
There ain't an empty spot on the old dance floor
All cowboy hats, boots, and jeans
Ridin' that honky tonk time machine
He's gonna make damn sure the jukebox don't rock
And the record's gonna be the only thing that bops
He's an old-school, cold longneck DJ
And look at him now, here comes them old green snakes
And it's off like a rocket in a neon haze
Spinnin' 'em back to the good old days
Beer gets to flowin' and the whiskey pours
There ain't an empty spot on the old dance floor
All cowboy hats, boots, and jeans
Ridin' that honky tonk time machine
From A to Z, and everything between
He's flying that honky tonk time machine
And it's off like a rocket in a neon haze
Spinnin' 'em back to the good old days
Beer gets to flowin' and the whiskey pours
There ain't an empty spot on the old dance floor
All cowboy hats, boots, and jeans
Ridin' that honky tonk time machine
Everybody's back in MWZ
They're ridin' that honky tonk time machine
Well he comes in here on the first and fifteenth

What Goes Up
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Caught a glimpse of Heaven when I couldn't catch my breath
I felt His presence in the darkest of days
I've asked for direction, and I've been shown the way
And I believe when I pray, somebody hears
When I fall on my knees, my words aren't fallin' on deaf ears
And He has the answers when the answers can't be found
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down
I've been lead from temptation, though I was standin' at it's door
Delivered from evil when I could run no more
I've seen the eyes of God through the eyes of a child
I've thanked Him for my blessings and I've felt it when he smiled
And I believe when I pray, somebody hears
When I fall on my knees, my words aren't fallin' on deaf ears
And He has the answers when the answers can't be found
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down
I raise my hands when my burdens are too heavy
And He lifts me up just like that cross he didn't have to carry
And He has the answers when the answers can't be found
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down
My greatest prayers will be answered
When he returns to claim his crown
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down (I believe)
What goes up must come down (I believe)
Caught a glimpse of Heaven when I couldn't catch my breath
I felt His presence in the darkest of days
I've asked for direction, and I've been shown the way
And I believe when I pray, somebody hears
When I fall on my knees, my words aren't fallin' on deaf ears
And He has the answers when the answers can't be found
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down
I've been lead from temptation, though I was standin' at it's door
Delivered from evil when I could run no more
I've seen the eyes of God through the eyes of a child
I've thanked Him for my blessings and I've felt it when he smiled
And I believe when I pray, somebody hears
When I fall on my knees, my words aren't fallin' on deaf ears
And He has the answers when the answers can't be found
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down
I raise my hands when my burdens are too heavy
And He lifts me up just like that cross he didn't have to carry
And He has the answers when the answers can't be found
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down
My greatest prayers will be answered
When he returns to claim his crown
I know without a doubt what goes up comes down (I believe)
What goes up must come down (I believe)

Sing One With Willie
Well, I've had a wonderful career
But I think it's quite queer
So I'm writin' this down in a song
I just couldn't resist
'Cause it's a nice little twist
And I think you'll agree this is just wrong
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
And I've held it inside long enough
Now I ain't too proud, I'm gonna shout it out loud
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
Now I've heard him with Merle, Waylon, and Cash
Jones and Toby, that man is totally gracious
But I'm thinking, "Damn, why not me?"
We could even sing it on TV
Just like him and old Julio Iglesias
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
And I've held it inside long enough
Now I ain't too proud, I'm gonna shout it out loud
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
We've traveled back and forth
Up and down all the highways
Wherever our big buses can go
But I think that it's great
To finally sing one with Strait
And our friends will all love it, I know
(But I'm lovin' it, too, Willie)
I finally get to sing one with Strait
Well, I think that it's been long enough
I'm mighty proud, just listen to the crowd
I finally got to sing one with George Strait
Look at me now, I'm singing with Willie
Thank you, man, you just made my career
Well, you shoulda said somethin', Strait
I always thought we'd sound great
And I finally got to sing one with ol' George
Yeah, I am really proud
So I'm shoutin' it out loud
I finally got to sing one
With ol' George, with ol' Willie
But I think it's quite queer
So I'm writin' this down in a song
I just couldn't resist
'Cause it's a nice little twist
And I think you'll agree this is just wrong
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
And I've held it inside long enough
Now I ain't too proud, I'm gonna shout it out loud
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
Now I've heard him with Merle, Waylon, and Cash
Jones and Toby, that man is totally gracious
But I'm thinking, "Damn, why not me?"
We could even sing it on TV
Just like him and old Julio Iglesias
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
And I've held it inside long enough
Now I ain't too proud, I'm gonna shout it out loud
I ain't never got to sing one with Willie
We've traveled back and forth
Up and down all the highways
Wherever our big buses can go
But I think that it's great
To finally sing one with Strait
And our friends will all love it, I know
(But I'm lovin' it, too, Willie)
I finally get to sing one with Strait
Well, I think that it's been long enough
I'm mighty proud, just listen to the crowd

Look at me now, I'm singing with Willie
Thank you, man, you just made my career
Well, you shoulda said somethin', Strait
I always thought we'd sound great
And I finally got to sing one with ol' George
Yeah, I am really proud
So I'm shoutin' it out loud
I finally got to sing one
With ol' George, with ol' Willie
