1. GET DRUNK AND BE SOMEBODY

Yeah the big boss man, he likes to crack that whip
I ain't nothing but a number on his timecard slip,
I give him 40 hours and a piece of my soul,
Puts me somewhere at the bottom of his totem pole,
Hell I don't even think he knows my name...

(Chorus)
Well all week long I'm a real nobody,
But I just punched out and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
I'm going to get drunk and be somebody
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

My baby cuts hair at a beauty boutique,
Just blowin' and goin' till she dead on her feet,
They walk right in and sit right down,
She gives them what they want and then she spins them around,
Hey I don't think they even know her name...

(Chorus)
All week long she's a real nobody,
But I just picked her up and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
Baby lets get drunk and be somebody
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Well just average people, in an everyday bar,
Driving from work in our ordinary cars,
And I like to come here with the regular Joes,
Drink all you want, be the star of the star
Of the show

(Chorus)
All week long bunch of real nobodies,
but we just punched out and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
People lets get drunk (lets get drunk!)
All week long we're some real nobodies,
But we just punched out and its paycheck Friday,
Weekends here, good God almighty,
People lets get drunk and be somebody
Yeah, yeah, yeah...


2. A LITTLE TOO LATE

(Chorus)
It’s a little too late
I’m a little too gone,
A little too tired of this hangin’ on
So I’m letting go while I’m still strong enough to
It’s got a little too sad
I’m a little too blue
It’s a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I’m big time over you baby
It’s a little too late

No I don’t want to want to talk about what we can do about us anymore
Only time you and me wastin’ is the time it takes to walk right out that door
Yeah talk about water under the bridge,
You should know by now girl that’s all this is

(Chorus)

There was a time,
This heart of mine,
Would take you back every time
Don’t you know
It’s been two packs of cigaretts
A sleepless night
A nervous wreck, a day ago.
Now you ain’t got no business coming around
I’m closing up shop
Shuttin’ us down

(Chorus)

I’m big time over you baby,
It’s a little too late


3. CAN'T BUY YOU MONEY

I got a sweet little woman at home
She knows that I love her true
I got three little kids at home on the floor
They love there daddy too
I got one on the way and I don’t think I can pay the doctor bill
I never finished paying the last one off
Don’t guess I ever will

So we save it all up for a rainy day
But it’s always sunny
Guess all the happiness in the world
Can’t buy you money

I got an old work truck
It will barely get me to town and back
I try to put in a little over time
But that don’t put in no jack
So I bring it home
Were my baby got my hot supper cooked
Then I lay down and rest my weery bones
Get back up at six

Just workin’ hard in the land of milk and honey
Hey, all the happiness in the world
Can’t buy you money

But if I had plenty
I could keep us afloat
Then in the end if my ship don’t come in
I’d just buy a bigger boat
I ain’t got no money
I’m knee deep in dept
We must be livin’ on love from above
Because we ain’t hit bottom yet

I pick my paycheck up and go strait to the bank
That’s my usual route
Then I go home and pick up the wife and the kids
Because we’re goin’ out
It’s a drive threw window
Pick out a combo super size
Swing on down to the wallmart
Let the kids pick out a prize
My truck broke down at the red light
She thinks it’s real funny
Yes, all the happiness in the world can’t buy you money

So we save it all up for a rainy day
But it’s always sunny
Guess all the happiness in the world
Can’t buy you money


4. CRASH HERE TONIGHT

I almost said I love you
Could I really be that kind of guy
See one candle burning in your eye
And watch my heart fill up with butterflies
I almost said I need you
Girl I shouldn't go there anymore
Act like I never been in love before
You probably think it's my first time
Is this what love's all about
Am I getting in too deep
Wouldn't want to freak you out
Make a promise I can't keep

So close your eyes and hum along
And I'll sing you one more love song
If everything is still alright
Why don't you just crash here tonight

Close your eyes and hum along
And I'll sing you one more love song
If everything is still alright
Why don't you just crash here tonight

Girl if everything is still alright
Why don't you just crash here tonight


5. GRAIN OF SALT

Yeah when I came to you were standing by the foot of the bed,
I was still hung over, and my eyes were bloodshot and red,
Did you think that things were going to be different?
Did you think you tore my whole world apart?
But as you can see there’s no pain in my head
And down in this old broken heart

(Chorus)
I took your leaving with a grain of salt,
Tequila and a slice of lime,
Yeah the minute you left,
Me and the boys went out and had a real good time,
It’s nice of you to check up on me,
Just to see how I was getting along
But I had already gotten over it baby,
Before you were even gone

By now you have observed
I was a little over-served last night,
I need to catch a few Z’s
Baby please turn off that bedroom light,
See the boys are coming by to get me,
We’re going to take our little show into town,
I’ll need my rest cause they’ll be doing there best
To find another (juke joint now?)

(Chorus)

Yeah I had already gotten way over it baby,
Before you were even gone
Bye now


6. I AIN'T ALREADY THERE

She called me on the phone and said come on and get on the plane tonight, pronto
So just like every time king sad cried for help
Here come toto
I guess you run a lover off again
And I can't believe how long its been
I had my fingers runnin through her hair
Only bad thing about it
I ain't already there

Baby I just landed grabbed my bag and hopped a cab
And I'm comin solo
Light a candle, fill the tub, and put on some music that you love
And I'll bring the mojo
Yeah the cabby said he'd drive like heck
If you'd promise me a pony tail
And my favorite secret underwear
Only bad thing about it
I ain't already there

Now its been real and its been fun
Another notch carved in her gun

You know a funny thing when you play her game
What you thought would change just stays the same.

I'll be on this plane to Illinois
She be locked down with some pretty boy
When we touch down in Chicago at o'hare
Only bad thing about it
I ain't already there
Oh no


7. NOTE TO SELF

Note to self
Better call
She'll be mad as hell
If I know her at all
Cuz today's her birthday
And I almost forgot
Note to self
I better not

Note to self
On my way home
Don't forget the roses
and Dom Perignon
You know how she loves a
Great big suprise
Note to self
You're skating on thin ice

Hmm I ain't gonna screw it up this time
Hmmm I'm gonna really make her proud she's mine

Note to self
Remember when
You use to light her up
When you walked in
And she stole your breath away
That's the way it was
Everytime you kissed her
And she still does

Hmm I ain't gonna mess it up this time
Hmmmmmmm I'm gonna really make her proud she's mine

Turning down the street
I'm pulling in the drive
Door ain't lock
So I step inside
She ain't here to greet me
So what's goin on?
Note self
She's already gone

Hmmmm gone
Hmmmmmmmm gone

Hmmmmmm I guess I really messed it up this time...


8. TOO FAR THIS TIME

It's as sad as it's true
But I can't believe a word that you say
I've been hoping for the best
But there's less and less more everyday
You can't where you been
Behind that little grin
I can see
Girl you can't fool me

You've gone
A little too far this time
You stepped one doorstep over the line
Swore you'd always be mine
I'd never leave you behind
But you've gone
A little too far this time

You can tell me how it happened
Still I'd never understand why
All I can keep thinking is
He sure must be one hell of a guy
You can't blame no one else
You brought it all on yourself
Now it's gone
And it's time on cuz

You've gone
A little too far this time
You stepped one doorstep over the line
Swore you'd always be mine
I'd never leave you behind
But you've gone
Just a little too far this time

You've gone
A little too far this time
You stepped one doorstep over the line
Swore you'd always be mine
I'd never leave you behind
But you've gone
A little too far this time

Girl you've gone
Just a little too far this time


9. AIN'T NO RIGHT WAY

7 in the morning
She has to make a choice
Precious baby girl,
Or bouncing baby boy
She could either keep it,
Or give that child away
So she quit school that morning,
And became a mom that day

(Chorus)
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing,
You can justify,
But it’s still black and white,
Paint it any shade,
But it won’t change
Ain’t no right way,
To do the wrong thing

News came on my TV,
A mother cried and said,
That her son was fighting for his life
Cause her husband lost his head,
Might have been a problem child,
If that boy were mine,
I wouldn’t beat him half to death,
Trying to make him walk the line

(Chorus)

Now empowered politicians,
Trying to pass a law,
They won’t let our children pray
For the better of us all,
If God blessed America,
Then how could someone vote,
To take prayer from our classrooms,
Right when we need prayer the most

(Chorus)

To do the wrong thing


10. BRAND NEW BOW (BUS SONG)

Thought I'd call you up
See if had celebrated
Day you were born
It's a little belated
Age is just a number
It's really over rated to me

Yea November third
That's a day I remember
Cuz its thirty seven days after mine in September
You'd thought I forgot
Cuz here it is December again

Oh, happy birthday baby
Wanna to see you tonight
I got your present waitin
I wanna do it right
I ain't got enough money for a big diamond ring
Let's tie a brand new bow around the same old thing

Yea

Now blow
Out your candles

Yea happy birthday baby
Want to see you tonight
I got your present waitin
And I wanna do it right
I ain't got enough money for a big diamond ring
Let's tie a brand new bow around the same old thing

(It'd be cool if we could make an ending for it)


11. HELL NO (BUS SONG)

Guess it slipped my mind
Now I'm in trouble deep
See the last two years in a row I forgot
Our anniversary
So I come Rushin' in
Twelve roses in bloom
Said honey would you like a romantic evening
Out under the stars and the moon

She didn't say no
But in her eyes I could see
That this wouldn't turn out to be
The enchanted evening I thought it would be
Yes I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no

Then we split the sheets
About six months ago
I told all my buddies down at the bar
This cowboy's headed home
Walked into her house
Yeah climbed right up in her bed
When I asked her if she still loved me
Man you know what she said

Oh she didn't say no
But in her eyes I could see
Ah this wouldn't turn out to be
The fairytale ending I thought it might be
But I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no

Yeah I sure found out
I got a long way to go
She didn't say no
She said hell no


12. RUNNIN' BLOCK (BUS SONG)

My buddy said his girlfriend is as pretty as can be
He said help a brother out tonight and come double date with me
She's gotta a baby sister and they're headed into town
They're lookin' for a good time
They're fun to be around

I said what do she look like?
He scratched his head and stated
"She was a home comin' football queen before she graduated.
We'll wine and dine and do 'em fine
and really double date 'em
Then take 'em back to the motel six and
Try to seperate 'em.

They showed up in a pick up
They were right on time
His was kinda heafty
But not half as big as mine

I'm runnin' block
Turn the lights down low
Runnin' block
Don't want know one to know
That I tried to drink her skinny but she's still about 215
Sometimes you got to bow up
And take one for the team

She cleaned her plate at dinner
Then she ate what's left of mine
Then she wolfed down a big cheesecake as I drank all the wine
She strolled out to the padio for an after dinner cig
I said "Bro you done 'er this time and gonna owe me big

You know why?
'Cuz my brother's havin' a party
Thought you outta know
He's got coeds swimmin naked
