I had a girl
Who was nothing but trouble
She would drink
Nothing but doubles
You would think that I would know better somehow
But I was in love
With a beauty queen
She was my heart
She was my everything
I wish that I knew then what I know now
Chorus
She loved tequila more than me
Jose Cuervo is all that she needs
She broke my heart but it was never meant to be
She loved tequila more than me
Then one night
We stepped to the bar
And she said
Honey get the car
Start it up, keep it running, I’ll be out in a minute or two
And sure enough
She came a-running out
She had the stuff
I was thinking about
I hit the gas and man that car just flew
Chorus
I took a pull
You know what the hell
I said girl
It’s just as well
If I’m a-going down at least I won’t be alone
Here come the fuzz
They was bearing down
And my cutie
She was bailing out
They arrested me right in front of my home
Chorus
Now I sit
In the county jail
She was the hammer
And I was the nail
Lemme help you fellers and listen to you know who
Stay away
From that beauty queen
She’ll steal your heart
And all of your dreams
An’ leave you with nothing but an empty bottle or two
Chorus

You might call it fate
Some might say it's divine grace
All I know is just what I see
This is no accident
You're making your own luck
Fortune Chance Probability
CHORUS
Aim High Lucky Girl Aim High Lucky Girl
If there was only one voice
Left in the world It'd be you
Lucky Girl
Destiny and providence will totally unfurl for you
Lucky Girl
It's A Beautiful World
Out On The Road
Fall Colors
Red Green and Gold
Singing songs and making all your dreams come true
Good fortune favors the bold
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The road for her will never run out
There's always another place to play
Forever She'll have a song deep in her heart
Forever have some word to say
You could be invisible or pretend to be tired
You could stay at home and curl up by the fire
But this is no accident, this is no chance
Your making your luck by doing your own dance

Let's Be Kids

When I was a kid
I would play all day long
I was young and strong
Life was easy
When I was a kid
I would sing all night long
Play guitar til dawn
I did what I pleased
BRIDGE 1
Let's hang on to our joy
Who said it was time to stop being little girls and little boys
CHORUS
Let's be kids!
Let's run and jump and shout
Let's find out what the world is all about
Let's be kids
When I was a kid
I didn't know right from wrong
But it didn't take me long to work it out
When I was a kid
All I wanted was the fun
The play was never done
There was no doubt
CHORUS
BRIDGE 2
Mama always told me to put away my toys
But mama never said nothing about putting away my joy
CHORUS
When I was a kid
I would lie in my bed
I had a pillow to lay my head warm and dry
When I was a kid
I never thought things could change
Or that life would rearrange by and by
CHORUS

I’d like to hit the road with my girly in tow
With my girly in tow.
Out on the road
Singing songs every night with my girly in tow
Yes my girly in tow.
Yes my girly in tow
Out on the road
BRIDGE 1
Old hotels and thunderstorms
Two lane highways where dreams are born
Destinations to parts unknown
Strange constellations in her eyes
Out on the road
CHORUS
Out on the road
Out on the road
Strange constellations in her eyes
Out on the road
SOLO OVER BRIDGE & CHORUS
Now Utah, Wyoming,
Jerome Idaho
With my girly in tow
Out on the road
Miles to go ‘til the next show
With my girly in tow,
My girly in tow
Out on the road
BRIDGE 2
Old motels and lightning storms
Two lane highways where dreams are born
Destinations to parts unknown
Strange constellations in her eyes
Out on the road
CHORUS (2)

Nobody

Nobody
ever drops by
just to say hi
or bring me love
from above
Nobody
So I sang
Edge of town
Break it on down
For your love
aint that enough
that's what I sang
I sang the moon to you last midnight
I saw the stars inside my mind
Nobody gonna come on down today
Nobody gonna take my blues away
Nobody
My girl
run me down
then left town
with all my bread
yes and messed my head
that's my girl
So I sang
God bless the child
done gone wild
For your love
Oh aint that enough
That's what I sang
I sang the moon to her last midnight
I saw the stars inside my mind
My girl gonna move along today
My girl done took my heart away
nobody
ever drops by
ever drops by
ever drops by
