Old Blue

If he can't get along
Its just best to shoot that dog
Its time for the city to go
And make my best friend a scarecrow
I've got a necklace made of old crows feet
That keeps me off the table when the buzzards need a feast
I like living in the sticks
Eating frogs and singing with the hicks
We talk about snagging trout
And share cropping in the south
I've got a necklace made of old crows feet
That keeps me off the table when the vultures need a feast
I just love hiking in the mountains
Where the whole worlds' a cartoon
All of them crazy creature
And funny looking mushrooms
You look damn good in those hip waders
But girl can you wrastle up an alligator
So what ever happened to old blue
Well dogs don't live like they used to

Grizzly Bear
04:07
|

Went from the city and into the woods
But moving faster than most people should
When its time to go I don't think twice
But I should have stopped and taken Uncle Bob's advice
Kid don't you run from a Grizzly Bear
Went for a walk had music in my ears
Had no idea that death was so near
I wandered on to the perfect path
But soon to find out I was on some fresh tracks
Kid don't you run from a Grizzly Bear
It was all happy trails
Till I bumped into that tail
The Good Lord I finally found
When that thing turned around
Oh no
What should I do
Run
Rabbit rabbit look at him go
Someone lit a match right between his toes
Oh my goodness did you just see
A rabbit run straight up a tree
I hopped in to a birds nest and thought I was safe
Thats until the bear gave that tree a big old shake
And for my last scene I was flat on my back
Yelling Mr. Adams, #7 or Jack
Kid don't you run from a grizzly bear

Jenny

Jenny don't you hitch a ride
The only thing they'll find is your sneakers
Last week your poltergeist took off after the preacher
It's so much fun to drink with a gun
Until that ricochet happens
You traded for a ouija board
And the bad spirits caught you napping
There's an old tale about what happens at the well
You get tricked there by the devil and you wind up in hell
All your magic is no solution
Cause slide of hand is just an illusion
Girls that go to the well
Disappear there with a spell

Shotgun Wedding
03:50
|
|||
|
When you try and find my place you take a left at the dead deer
And you put down one last shot just to help you steer
Slow down at the garage can
You don't want a shotgun wedding with a mountain man
If you look in the rear view mirror as you cross the crick
You'll hear a creek
And staring straight back at you will be the ghost of Grandpa Pete
Saying slow down my girl if you can
You don't want a shotgun wedding with a mountain man
Think about it
Papa's on the front bumper begging his girl to stop
All that poor boy is good for is busting rocks
Slow down my girl if you can
You don't want a shotgun wedding with a mountain man
Runaway locomotive yeah she is heading for the hills
She lost her breaks blowing on her whistle just for thrills
Grandma says girl you got to learn to live right by me
Come-on Grandma you never stopped for a fallen tree
Slow down my girl if you still can
You don't want a shotgun wedding with a mountain man
Slow down

Yellow Dress

|
There came a girl in a yellow dress
I said hi but my hair was a mess
And she just walked on by
As I just closed my eyes
And put the thought away
Little nurse stuck a needle in my arm
I fell in love the moment she caused me harm
And she called the doctor in quick
She said I…….. I think I've made him sick
We'll girl we all get put in the dirt one day
Now she writes ghost stories
In the middle of the night
But something is trying to help her
By creeping in and
Blowing out the light
Black bird spots a new cross in the yard
But there's an old woman staring at it hard
She reads
The day he flew off with the doves
Was the only day he would ever fall in love
And when he did God took him right away

Tumbleweed
03:07
|

|
Got caught in a twister with those three sisters
Lets give it up for cowgirl hats
I happen to like girls that ride big bikes
And I've risked my life so many times for that
I was the toughest guy around
But the girls just tore me down
I can't walk far past a girl with a guitar
She going to get my attention
Ten times ain't enough if she's a deputy with handcuffs
Oh girl I need to learn some lessons
I was the toughest guy around
But the girls just tore me down
Blowing around in the wild west with the tumbleweeds
Trying so damn hard not to break apart when I hit a tree
I've gone my rounds with them gals who run around town
I've been with some who are taller
If you want to play
Well sir you're going to have to pay
High-Ho silver dollar
I was the toughest guy around
But the girls just tore me down
Broke apart under a shade tree down in Mexico
You know I never could learn to tell the senoritas no

American Car
03:24
|
|||
|
Got a full rank of gas
And shiny hubcaps
Gonna take this time machine
Out for a fling
Get her singing along
Song after song
You can count 50 Stars
On this big American car
Back when these fins were painted red
There were better days ahead
With a top as white as a bone
We call her old two-tone
You can count 50 Stars
On this big American car
Just rolling through the country
With my lady
All the windows are down
In this American baby
Drifting as quiet as a mouse
Past an old farm house
The day is turning dark
Let's hit the radio and park
You can count 50 Stars
On this big American car

Old Timer
02:06
|

|
They'll have hell to pay
Thats what that old timer would say
You know back when I was young
We used to throw rocks instead of shooting guns
You kids these days
You need drugs just to find your way
Daddy wore a blue shirt
If I wanted something I had to work
A leather strap over the knee
Is how he showed his love for me
Back when you needed a better life
You never did divorce your wife
Even if that came to mean
You got married just to scream
I managed to keep it straight by drinking a little every day
Kid you can try and try but one day you will have to lie
I'm running out of breath
Its time for a cigarette
You know we have came a long ways
Since the good old days

Candy Store
03:52
|
|||
|
She's in a tank top and just stole your lolli-pop
When she's around the teasing don't stop
Oh when you've had enough
Well be ready to play 'cause she can get rough
She can shake it up
Don't just think about it
You have the worlds biggest flirt
Wanting to wrestle around in a mini skirt
She can shake it up
The good jelly beans aren't at the vending machine
She just pinned you down don't you know what that means
Yesterday this was the girl next door
But today your taking her to the candy store
It just blowing your mind
She's craving sugar all the time
She's has music running in your head
If you hit the right notes you'll be her sugar instead
She can shake it up
The good jelly beans aren't at the vending machine
She just pinned you down don't you know what that means
Yesterday this was the girl next door
But today your taking her to the candy store

Setting Sun
03:49
|

|
The picture shows rain at the beach
Nowhere the sun is seen
As she pulls up my daze gets broke
Her car is burgundy with chrome
The music it plays is 60 years
We're going to drive on down the coast
Time walks by and we don't say a word
The rumbling engine is all that is heard
Slowly we drift all over the lane
Crab pots and the courthouse clock
Grandmas by the hanger under the cross
It wasn't so long ago we had that day
Run run run we all need to run
But one day it will be off into the setting sun
We pull into the second hand store
And race on up to the third floor
All just to hide in the old photo booth
When you were you young and I was young
Magic tricks were so much fun
Here we vanish again till the camera goes poof
Run run run we all need to run
But one day it will be off into the setting sun
The end of the day is pulling us back
As we head home with the train tracks
Another Tuesday is about to end
She drops me off at the usual place
I wave goodbye to her license plate
Oh will we ever be in love again
Run run run we all need to run
Run off with me girl into the setting sun
