(Tommy Barnes)
(Track 9 - Time 2:59)
Well its been rainin' on and on
Ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep rollin' in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight
The bottom falls out again
Well I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been a driftin' Heaven knows how long
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone
Hey well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 night since you've been gone
Aw listen to me now
I keep starin' out the window
Searchin' for a rainbow
To signal that the storm will end
Hey 'cause I know that the rain'll keep pourin' on the pane
Until my saint comes back marchin' in
Oh girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone
Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone
Yeah it's been rainin' 40 days and a 40 nights since you've been gone

Aint That Just Like A Dream
I popped the clutch on that old red Ford
Her daddy would holler and run to the door
Dust would fly as we flew down that old gravel driveway
And lookin' back I can't believe he let her run with a boy like me
He said "You better get her back by ten or there'll be hell to pay"
I can still feel her lips on mine
It's all so real but lost in time
Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free
We were rebels chasin' time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Saturday nights we could all be found
Radios up and our windows rolled down
Hearts on fire and holdin' hands sights set on forever
We never thought those days would end we'd never be the same again
Summer would be the last time we would ever be together
I never knew I'd wake up some day
In a brand new world so far away
Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free
We were rebels chasin' time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Her daddy would holler and run to the door
Dust would fly as we flew down that old gravel driveway
And lookin' back I can't believe he let her run with a boy like me
He said "You better get her back by ten or there'll be hell to pay"
I can still feel her lips on mine
It's all so real but lost in time
Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free
We were rebels chasin' time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Saturday nights we could all be found
Radios up and our windows rolled down
Hearts on fire and holdin' hands sights set on forever
We never thought those days would end we'd never be the same again
Summer would be the last time we would ever be together
I never knew I'd wake up some day
In a brand new world so far away
Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free

Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
Ain't that just like a dream
It always ends

Dont Take The Girl
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishin' pole
His dad looked down and smiled
Said, "We can't leave her behind"
"Son, I know you don't want her to go
But someday you'll change your mind"
And Johnny said
"Take Jimmy Johnson
Take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend, Bo
Take anybody that you want as
Long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please, don't take the girl"
Same old boy, same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm said
"If you do what I tell you to
There won't be any harm"
And Johnny said, "Take my money
Take my wallet
Take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my Grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please, don't take the girl"
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she
Says, "It's time to go"
Doctor says, "The baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
'Cause his mama's fading fast" and
Johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
"Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God please, don't take the girl"

Down On the Farm
Every Friday night there's a steady cloud of dust
That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks
Got old Hank cranking way up loud
Got coolers in the back
Tailgates down
There's a big fire burnin' but don't be alarmed
It's just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Ed's been on the tractor ain't seen Becky all week
Somebody said they seen 'em heading down to the creek
Farmer Johnson's daughters just pulled up in a jeep
Man he knows how to grow 'em if ya know what I mean
Old Dave's gettin' loud but he don't mean no harm
We're just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Well you can come as you are
There ain't no dress code
Just some rural route rules that you need to know
Don't mess with the bull
He can get real mean
Don't forget to shut the gate
Stay out of the beans
If it starts to rainin' will just head to the barn
We're country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
You can have a lot of fun in a New York minute
But there's some things you can't do inside those city limits
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Ain't no closing time
Ain't no cover charge
Just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm
Oh let's get down y'all
Stay out of that hay
That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks
Got old Hank cranking way up loud
Got coolers in the back

Give It To Me Strait
Bartender I may sit here on this barstool all night long
But I won't need much attention
I just need some time alone
So if you'll give me some quarters and a bottle of your best
You can just sit back and let the jukebox do the rest
Give it to me Strait
Sing "Am I Blue" while I sit here and cry
And tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye
It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound
Let's start off nice and easy
Something like "If I Know Me"
And we'll work our way up slowly to "Fool Hearted Memory"
Yeah I've got all night long to sit right here and fall apart
So don't leave out one single song
I know 'em all by broken heart
Give it to me Strait
Sing "Am I Blue"
While I sit here and cry
And tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye
It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound
There ain't one country singer
That ain't good for a bad heartache
And for me there's nothing smoother
Than a good stiff shot of Strait
It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound
But I won't need much attention
I just need some time alone
So if you'll give me some quarters and a bottle of your best
You can just sit back and let the jukebox do the rest

Indian Outlaw
I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind
All my friends call me Bear Claw
The village chieftain is my paw-paw
He gets his orders from my maw-maw
She makes him walk the line
You can find me in my wigwam
I'll be beatin' on my tom-tom
Pull out the pipe and smoke you some
Hey and pass it around
'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind
I ain't lookin' for trouble
We can ride my pony double
Make your little heart bubble, Lord
Like a glass of wine
Well, I remember the medicine man
He caught Runnin' Water in my hands
Drug me around by my headband
Said I wasn't her kind
'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind
Well, I can kill a deer or buffalo
With just my arrow and my hickory bow
From a hundred yards, don't you know
I do it all the time
They all gather 'round my teepee
Late at night tryin' to catch a peek
At me in nothin' but my buffalo briefs
I got 'em standin' in line
'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind
All my friends call me Bear Claw
The village chieftain is my paw-paw

It Doesnt Get Any Countrier Than This
Now Mama I know you've always wished me the best
And I found somebody and I think she's gonna pass the test
She's a country girl as far as I can see
Mama I hope she's what you had in mind for me
She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this
Now Mama I know she didn't grow up on a farm
But she sure knows her way around out behind the barn
And it ain't exactly chores she does at dawn
But she says she's gonna love me 'til the cows come home
She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this
She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this
Yeah mama it doesn't get...any countrier than this
And I found somebody and I think she's gonna pass the test
She's a country girl as far as I can see
Mama I hope she's what you had in mind for me
She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this
Now Mama I know she didn't grow up on a farm

Not A Moment Too Soon
I was standing at the end of my rainbow
With nowhere to go and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were just way too much to hope for
But when I saw you I knew I'd seen the light
And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
I used to think that love would never find me
And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me I knew I'd found forever
You rescued me just before I crossed the line
And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon
With nowhere to go and no pot of gold in sight
All my wishes were just way too much to hope for
But when I saw you I knew I'd seen the light
And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
I used to think that love would never find me
And the one who cares was lost somewhere in time
But when you found me I knew I'd found forever
You rescued me just before I crossed the line
And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart
When I didn't have a prayer
In my darkest hour
With my world filled with gloom
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
Your sweet love saved me
Not a moment too soon
Not a moment too soon

Refried Dreams
Last Monday mornin' you left with no warnin'
I started goin' insane
Well I headed South out of Del Rio, Texas
With a hell of a load on my brain I kept on goin' without even knowin'
How much your love really means Now I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
This picture ain't pretty I'm ragged and dirty
And wonderin' what I'm doin' here
Shootin' tequila wantin' to kill ya
And wishin' to God you were near
So full of your memory but feelin' so empty
I've run out of my self-esteem
Now I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
Oh I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I started goin' insane
Well I headed South out of Del Rio, Texas
With a hell of a load on my brain I kept on goin' without even knowin'
How much your love really means Now I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
This picture ain't pretty I'm ragged and dirty
And wonderin' what I'm doin' here
Shootin' tequila wantin' to kill ya
And wishin' to God you were near

My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams
I'm down here in Mexico sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog

Wouldnt Want It Any Other Way
Without me
Maybe you'd find somebody else
A little wiser
With a lot more wealth
And without you
It's true I'd be free
To go chasing all my dreams
Without any strings
But I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Hard times
May never let up on us
And maybe all we'll ever have
Will barely be enough
And babe you know
How cold the wind can blow
Love's never let us down
When we needed it the most
And I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Wouldn't want it any other way
Any other way
Oh girl
You know I love you more each day
Any other way
Maybe you'd find somebody else
A little wiser
With a lot more wealth
And without you
It's true I'd be free
To go chasing all my dreams
Without any strings
But I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Hard times
May never let up on us
And maybe all we'll ever have
Will barely be enough
And babe you know
How cold the wind can blow
Love's never let us down
When we needed it the most
And I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Wouldn't want it any other way
Any other way
Oh girl
You know I love you more each day
Any other way
