20.Skoal Ring
Don't need no diamond ring
Don't
want a bunch of bling bling
The only thing I really need
Is a man with a skoal ring
Don't have to be wined and dined
We
can stay home every night
I can do without anything
Except a man with a skoal ring
He works a ten hour shift
And
comes home right on time
He don't complain a bit
When I get out of line
He ain't rich and
He might have a little
dirt on his hands
But that worn-out circle on his jeans
Makes him my kind of man
First 4 lines of Chorus
I've
always been a bandit girl
And he's a long cut man
Somehow we still get along with
Different color cans
When
that boy comes home from work
Smellin' like the farm
That berry blend on his lips
Still turns me on
Repeat
Chorus
The one thing that gets to me
Is a man with a skoal ring
19. Good Ole boy
Some girls are lookin for
a Wall Street Man
With lots of green in the bank
Got to find a feller with a red wine cellar
And a big, black Escalade
One
of them dudes that don't cuss or chew
Don't never do nothin wrong
Personally that don't do it for me, yeah
You can
keep 'em all
Chorus
I'd rather have a good ole boy
One who ain't afraid to make some noise
Do what you want
to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Yeah, I'd rather have a good ole boy
Well, I've
met guys in suits and ties
That'll buy you anything you want
Drink champagne and drop big names
In a high-dollar
restaurant
I'd rather run with a son of a gun
That'll get a little dirt on his hands
I'd trade a high class livin
for some good catfishin
With a real blue collar man
Chorus
I'd rather have a good ole boy
One who ain't afraid
to make some noise
Do what you want to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Yeah, I'd rather
have a good ole boy
Chorus
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Who ain't afraid to make some noise
Do what you
want to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a good ole boy
Chorus
You know I'd rather have a good
ole boy
One Who ain't afraid to make some noise
Do what you want to do but if I had the Choice
I'd rather have a
good ole boy
Yeah, I'd rather have a good ole boy
18. Deeper Than The Holler
Well I've heard those city
singers singin' 'bout how they can love,
Deeper than the oceans, higher than the stars above.
Well, I come from the
country, and I know I ain't seen it all.
But I heard that ocean's salty, and the stars, they sometimes fall.
And that
would not do justice to the way I feel for you.
So I had to sing this song about all the things I knew.
My love
is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love
is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill.
And
longer than the song of a whipporwind
From the back roads to the Broadway shows with a million miles between,
There's
a least a million love songs that people love to sing.
And every one is different, and every one's the same.
And this
is just another way of sayin' the same thing.
My love is deeper than the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher
than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And
honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.
And longer than the song of a whippoorwind
My love is deeper than
the holler.
Stronger than the river.
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
My love is purer than
the snowflakes,
That fall in late December.
And honest as a Robin on a spring-time window sill.
And longer than the
song of a whippoorwind.
A Whipporwind
17. Take it Easy
Well, I've been runnin'
down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me
Two that want to
stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy...
Take it easy...
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive
you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And
take it easy...
Well, I've been standin' on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl,
my Lord
In a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
So come on, baby...
Don't say maybe...
I got
to know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
So open
up I'm climbin' in
And take it easy...
Yeah
Whoa...
Well, I've been runnin' down the road
Tryin' to
loosen my load
I got a wealth of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard
to find
Take it easy...
Take it easy...
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy
Come on,
baby...
Don't say maybe...
I got to know if your sweet love
Is gonna save...me...
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh,
ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh,
ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh...)
Yeah, yeah
Oh, we got it easy...
We
ought to take it easy...
Yeah
16. Redneck Girl
Redneck girl likes to cruise
in Daddy's pickup truck
And a redneck girl plays her hard when she's down on her luck
Living for a friday afternoon
She's
gonna show one ole boy that we can move
And I pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl
Redneck girl likes
to stay out all night long
She makes sweet rock n' roll while she listens to the country songs
She's waitin' for that
moment of surrender
Her hands are calloused but her heart is tender
And I pray that someday I will find me a redneck
girl
Oh give me a give me a give me a redneck girl
Give me a give me a give me a redneck girl
Oh give me a give
me a give me a redneck girl
Give me a give me a give me a redneck girl
A redneck girl got a name on the back of
her belt
She's got a kiss on her lips for her man and no one else
A coyote's howling out on the prairie
First comes
love then comes marriage
And I pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl
Yeah give me a give me a give me
a redneck girl
15. It's Alright to be
a Redneck
Ba bom bom
It's alright
to be a redneck
It's alright to drive around in a dirty ol' truck
Catch a bunch of fish and shoot a bunch of duck
It's
alright to be a redneck
Chase around the girls on Friday night
You wanna make'em feel alright
It's alright, it's
alright, it's alright to be a redneck
It's alright to be a redneck
It's alright to work hard in the sun all day
Drink
a couple beers after balin' hay
It's good to be a redneck
Drive by Ernie's for some barbecue
Showin' off your brand
new boots
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright to be a redneck
The kids are gonna cry
And the chicken's
gonna fry
Oh, you know it
Your car won't run
So your cousin's comin' by to tow it
Ba bom ba bom
It's alright
to be a redneck
It's alright to have a girl
Name'a Thelma Lou
That don't mind a little kiss
When you got a little
chew
Party on the road
By the light of the moon
Dancin' to a country tune
It's alright, it's alright
It's
alright to be a redneck
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright to be a redneck
Yeah, it's alright, it's just
right,
It's alright to be a redneck
Ba bom bom
14.
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last
one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear
me complain
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues
away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends
in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's
all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
13. Cowboy In Me
I don't know why I act the way I do
Like I
ain't got a single thing to lose
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
I got
a life that most would love to have
But sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad
At where this road I'm heading down
might lead
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes
get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror when I
don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of
stone I sometimes get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in
the mirror when I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
Girl I know there's times you must
have thought
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed
But you set your mind to see this love on through
I
guess that's just the cowboy in you
We ride and never worry about the fall
I guess that's just the cowboy in us
all
12. Just to see You
Smile
You always had an eye
for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just
never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
Takin' that new job in Tennessee
And I
quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything
that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see
you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
'Cause leavin'
didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When
you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance I'd lie again
Just
to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's
worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When
all is said and done
I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
11. She Thinks my Tractors Sexy
Plowin' these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate lordy
here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on
up
Open up the throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin' me
She thinks my tractor's
sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin'
while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands
what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
We ride back and forth 'til we run out of light
Take it to the barn
put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream and I asked what
it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
And one more teeny weeny ride before I take her home
She
thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes
the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one
who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
Well she ain't into cars or pickup trucks
But
if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up
She thinks my tractor's
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really
turns her on
She's always starin' at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin'
up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She
thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy
10. Just Don't Happen Twice
I haven't seen you
in forever
Oh you haven't changed a bit
You didn't think that I would remember
How could I forget
We sang
Bobby McGhee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear September sky
One bottle of wine and two
Dixie cups
3 am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
Oh that's something that just don't happen twice
To
this day I still taste that first kiss
How I prayed it wouldn't end
In a way, seeing you like this
I guess it never
really did
We sang Bobby McGhee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear september sky
One
bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
3 am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
That's something that just don't
happen twice
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
3 am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
Oh that's
something, baby that's something
Oh that's something
That just don't happen twice
Oh yeah
We sang Bobby
McGhee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
Yeah we fell in love
9. Not Bad For a Good Ole
Boy
He was never voted "Most Likely to Succeed"
But still he married Tammy Bell, the prettiest girl in all of
Knox County
And his uncle got him on at Thompson's Tool and Die
And now he;s a foreman and he's home each night by five
Not
Bad for a farmer's son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He's got a house full of love and a yard full of kids
A
car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain't the richest man in Illinois
But not bad, not bad
for a good ole boy
He got his picture in the paper right on the front page
He's smilin' with a nine-point buck he
took on openin' day
Just last summer he bulit a deck on the house
And flew the family down to Florida to meet Mickey
Mouse
Not Bad for a farmer's son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He's got a house full of love and a yard
full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain't the richest man in Illinois
But
not bad, not bad for a good ole boy
Well he's a little league coach and a junior college grad
A volunter fireman
and a full-time dad
Not Bad for a farmer's son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He's got a house full of love
and a yard full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain't the richest man in Illinois
But
not bad, not bad for a good ole boy
8.Family Tradition
Country music singers
have always been a real close family
But lately some of my kin folks have disowned a few others and me
I guess its because
I kinda changed my direction
Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition
They get on me, wanna know
Hank,
why do you drink
Hank, why do you roll smoke
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote
Over and over everybody
made my prediction
So if I get stoned I'm just carryin on an old family tradition
I am very proud of my Daddy's
name
Although his kinda music and mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position
If
I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tradition
So don't ask me, Hank, why do you drink
Hank, why
do you roll smoke
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote
If I'm down in a honkytonk
Some old slicks tryin
to give me friction
I say leave me alone I'm singin all night long
It's a family tradition
Whooo
Lordy,
I have loved some ladies
And I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me in 1973
And when that doctor
asked me
Son, how did you get in this condition
I said, hey, sawbones I'm just carryin on
An old family tradition
So don't ask me, Hank, why do you drink
Hank, why do you roll smoke
Why must you live out the songs that you
wrote
Stop and think it over
Try and put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It's
just a family tradition
7. All my Rowdy Freinds
Have Settled Down
All my rowdy friends have settled down and it seems to be more in the laid back songs.
Nobody wants
to get drunk and get loud.Everybody just wants to go back home.
I myself have seen my wilder days and I have seen my name
at the top of the page,
but I need to find a friend just to run around.But no one wants to get high on the town
and
all my rowdy friends have settled down.
And I think I know what my father meant when he sang about a lost highway and
old George Jones I'm glad to see he's finally getting straight,
and Waylon staying home and loving Jesse more these days,
and
nobody wants to get drunk and get loud and all my rowdy friends have settled down.
and the hang overs hurt more then
they used to and corn bread and ice tea took the place of pills and ninety-proof,
and it seems like none of us do things
quite like we used to do
and nobody wants to get high on the town and all my rowdy friends have settled down.
Yeah
I think I know what my father meant when he sang about his lost highway and Johnny Cash don't act like he did back in '68
and
Kriss he is a movie star and he's moved off to L.A.
and nobody wants to get drunk and get loud and all my rowdy friends
have settled down
yeah me and my rowdy friends have rowdied on down.
6. Country State of Mind
That hot old summer
sun make you beg for your next breath
So you best be on the creek bank laid in the shade
Chewin on a hickory twig, pass
that bottle, I'll have me a swig
I ain't got a lot, but I think I got it made, in the shade
I'm just laid up here
in a country state of mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
Drinkin this homemade wine
Hey, if the
sun don't come up tomorrow
People, I've had a good time
I’m just laid up here in a country state of mind
I
bet the old man's in the kitchen
He's got my kind of music on his radio
Oh, drinkin his beer and dialin up the request
line
Momma and old Aunt Joan
Probably in the dining room tryin to use the phone
Me, I'm thinkin about that girl
and later tonight
Oh, yeah
I'm just laid up here in a country state of mind
Hey, I'm atchin these fish like
they're goin out of style
I'm drinkin this homemade wine
And if the sun don't come up tomorrow
People, I've had a
good time
I’m just laid up here in a country state of mind
You know, the red necks and the hippies
They
are in their discos and honkytonks
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace
Lord, I know just how they feel
You
gotta get out and kick up your heels
And ain't it great to be livin in the USA
Me, I'm laid up here in a country
state of mind
Catchin these fish like they're goin out of style
And drinkin this homemade wine, all the time
If the
sun don't shine tomorrow
People, I have had a good time
I’m just laid up here in a country state of mind
(I
know where Hank Jr is)
Yodel-ay-ee-oh, yodel-ay-ee-oh
Yodel-ay-ee-hee
Hee, hee
5. Dixie on my Mind
All the stations
up here don't sign off with Dixie,
The way they did in sweet home Alabama,
The people here don't sip Jack Daniels whiskey,
The
way they do in that Tennessee mountain land.
I've always heard lots about the big apple,
So I thought I'd come up
here and see,
But all I've seen so far is one big hassle,
Wish I was camped out on the Okachovee.
If this is
the promised land,
I've had all I can stand,
And I'm headed back below that Dixie line
Well I just don't fit in,
And
I'll never come back again,
I'm busted here with Dixie on my mind,
Oh, I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind.
These
people never smile or say a word,
They're all too busy tryin' to make an extra dime,
Oh I'd love to haul 'em all down
around Spartanburg,
And show 'em how to raise hell in Carolina.
Oh, the things you know that I miss most of all,
Is
the freedom of the rivers and the pines,
They don't do much huntin' and fishin' up here ya know,
But I have met a few
squirrels and one porcupine.
If this is the promised land,
I've had all I can stand,
Wish I was down in Houston
town tonight,
Well I just don't fit in,
And I'll never come back again,
I'm busted here with Dixie on my mind,
Oh,
I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind.
4. Tear in my Beer
There's a tear in my beer
'cause I'm cryin'
for you,dear
you are on my lonely mind.
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears.
You are on
my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin'
until I'm petrified.
And then maybe these tears
will leave my eyes.
There's
a tear in my beer
cause I'm crying' for you dear
You are on my lonely mind.
Last night I walked the floor
and
the night before
You are on my lonely mind.
It seems my life is through
and I'm so doggone blue
You are on my
lonely mind.
I'm gonna keep drinkin'
till I can't move a toe
and then maybe my heart
won't hurt me so.
There's
a tear in my beer
cause I'm cryin' for you dear
You are on my lonely mind.
Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But
my tears I can't hide
You are on my lonely mind.
All these blues that I've found
Have really got me down
You are
on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinkin'
till I can't even think
Cause in the last week
I ain't slept a wink
There's
a tear in my beer
cause I'm crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind.
3. Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound
I've got a good woman at home who thinks I do no wrong
But sometimes
lord, she just ain't always around
And you know that's when I fall, I can't help myself at all
And I get whiskey bent
and hell bound
Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put a cold one in my hand,
'cause you know I love to hear
those guitar sounds
Don't you play 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' cause I'll get all balled up
inside
And I'll get
whiskey bent and hell bound
Sure enough about closing time, (I'm) about stoned out of my mind
And I end up with
some honky-tonk special I found
Just as sure as the morning sun come, thinking of my sweet girl at home
And I need to
get whiskey bent and hell bound
Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put old Jim Beam in my hand
'cause you
know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds
But don't you play 'Your Cheatin' Heart' cause that'll tear me all
apart
I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound
Yeah, old Hank's songs always make me feel low down
2. John Deere Green
They were farm kids way down in Dixie
They met in high school
in the sixties
Everyone knew it was love from the start
One July in the midnight hour
He climed the water tower
Stood
on the rail and painted a 10ft heart
In John Deere green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In
letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere
green
They settled down on 80 acres
Raising sweet corn,kids and tomaters
They went together like a hand and a
glove
On a clear day from their front yard
If you look and know what to llok for
Off to the east you can still read
his words of love
In John Deere green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3
foot high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green
Now
more then once the town has dicovered
Painting over it ain't no use
There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover
it
The heart keeps showing through
In John Deere green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In
letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said that the fool should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In
John Deere green
Ahh,paint it green boy
In John Deere green
On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves
Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said the boy should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In
John Deere green
John Deere green
1. We Rode in Trucks
Down where
I born it was heaven on earth.
The Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt.
The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright.
We
raised cotton, corn, a little cane, and kids.
You either lived on a farm or wish you did.
Jesus always walked close
by our side.
Where I grew up, we rode in trucks.
Verse 2
There's a lot about life you can learn on a bus,
How to lie, how to fight, how to kiss, how to cuss.
The closer we sat to the back, the smarter we got.
We were poor,
we were ugly, we were all best friends.
White-eyed, baptized, and still wantin' to sin.
Thank God we get more than just
one shot.
Where I grew up, we rode in trucks.
Chorus
That's us, haulin' hay in the field with the radio on.
That's
us, headin' straight into town when the work is done.
In my mind, I can still see us now, ridin' down Buck Island Road.
It
wasn't that long ago.
Verse 3
We thought tobacco and beer in a can
Was all it would take to be like our old
man.
But I saw how it made my momma cry.
It was huntin' and fishin' and football games.
Then it was girls, and everything
changed,
In our lives.
Fallin' in and out of love, we rode in trucks.
Chorus 2
That's us with our tailgates
down in the parking lot.
That's us with mud on our tires when it rained a lot.
In my mind, I can still see us now, ridin'
down Buck Island Road.
It wasn't that long ago, it's apart of my soul. Yeah.
Down where I was born, it was heaven
on earth.
The Flint River washes that red Georgia dirt.
The sun sets slow and the stars shine bright.
Where I grew
up, we rode in trucks.
