Country Blue

When it comes to loving
And what you prefer
I know I ain’t nowhere
Near to her

But I’m guessing
There’s something
You like about me
Why else would you call
To see if I’m free?

Did you call for
A drink or two
Or did you just get blue
Because she was paying
No attention to you

But I’m guessing
There’s something
You like about me
Why else would you call
To see if I’m free?

I’m telling you
If you want to be
Free and easy
Take it as it comes
Have a drink
Have a think
Eat a meal
See how you feel
Spending a little
Time with me
What you got to lose
You don’t have to choose
Whatever she means to you
I’m not going
To interfere
You can take my loving
Or I’m out of here
But I’m guessing
There’s something
You like about me
Why else would you call
To see if I’m free?

Give me a honky-tonk bar
I’ll take you just the
Way you are
I don’t care what you drive
Cabriolet or Chevrolet
Don’t matter to me
Just want a man
Who understands
Who I want to be

Just need to know
If you marry me
Every year we got
Ourselves a happy
Anniversary

Just need to know
If you marry me
Every year we got
Ourselves a happy

Just want a man
Who understands
Who I want to be
A guy who can
Reach my heart
With a gentle touch
Don’t ask for much
No dictating or
Prevaricating
Let me be honey
Who I want to be
Hey babe
Don’t want your money
Or your SUV

Just need to know
If you marry me
Every year we got
Ourselves a happy
Anniversary
Just need to know
If you marry me
Every year we got
Ourselves a happy
Anniversary

I can feel the sentiment
In what we’ve got
Is felt universally
And to me personally
It means a lot
To know whatever we do
Wherever we go
If you marry me
Every year we got
Ourselves a happy
Anniversary

I am ready
To go steady
Leave this town
That gets me down

I am ready
To go steady
Leave this town
That gets me down

I am ready
To get on the trail
I found me a man
Who wants to take it steady
No way that I can
Turn it down

Get out of this town
Get away from
The average day
And all the things that
Bring you down

I am ready

Leave this town

What prevails is
I am ready for
The trail

I was drinking in a bar
Thinking I’d gone too far
When you walked in
Wearing that big cowboy hat
And a big grin

I’m just four miles from a heartache
Trucking down the road
Don’t know why for heaven’s sake
Been living on overload
You sure got to me
Made my life a misery
Now I’m driving to surviving
Got to reach that town
Where I’ll hit the brake
Halfway to a heartache
You were giving me

Truck keeps rolling
Distance growing
Heart beating knowing
What I’m believing
My heart is true
I was halfway
To a heartache with you

Put four miles behind me
Keep on going
No time for slowing
And letting you
Get to me
Stay off the brake
Accelerate away from you
Ten miles on the blacktop
No way I’m going to stop

Step on the gas pedal
Truck keeps rolling
Distance growing
Heart beating knowing
What I’m believing
My heart is true
I was halfway
To a heartache with you

Put fifty miles behind me
Keep on going
No time for slowing
And letting you
Get to me
Stay off the brake
Accelerate away from you
Fifty miles on the blacktop
No way I’m going to stop

Truck keeps rolling
Distance growing
Heart beating knowing
What I’m believing
My heart is true
I was halfway
To a heartache with you

Small town coming
Truck starts slowing
Looking in the rear view
Thinking of you
Should I be stopping
Or keep on going?

Got eighty miles behind me
Keep on going
No time for slowing
And letting you
Get to me
Stay off the brake
Accelerate away from you
Eighty miles on the blacktop
No way I’m going to stop

Truck keeps rolling
Distance growing
Heart beating knowing
What I’m believing
My heart is true
I was halfway
To a heartache with you

Honey if you want me
You’re going to have to buy me
A Lamborghini or a
Bright red Ferrari and
If you want me to
Stay true, I’ll need
A Maserati too

Honey if you want
To keep me it’s
Going to cost a lot
I’ll need a villa
in Miami and a
thirty-two foot yacht

Honey if you want to
Marry me, lord, you’ll
have to decide if
you can afford me
now here’s the thing
I got my eyes on a
Sixty carat diamond ring

Honey, you see I really
Don’t want much but
If you insist I’ll be happy
To give you my full
Shopping list. Now I’m
Wondering why you’ve
Changed your mind
And decided to resist
All my charms, what?
You say you heard alarms
Going when I mentioned
That little old thing
The seventy-two million
Dollar, sixty carat
Diamond ring.

Sandy was having a bad day
Jayney’s was going the same
The boss just told them
They had to stay when
They were trying to get away
For the weekend

This time Sandy said to
The boss man why
Do you want us to stay
When we’re trying to
Get away for the weekend

He said I got the power
I pay you by the hour
There’s things I want you to do
Because I’m the boss man
I’m not asking, I’m telling you
Right to the end
If I wanted to I could tell you
To work the whole weekend

Sandy looked at Jayney and said
You know what I’m thinking
Jayney said I got your drift
We ain’t working another shift
And she looked at the boss man
And she said you got no reason to
Keep us working the way you do
We got plans to get away
For the weekend

The boss he looked at his watch
And said you’re risking a lot you see
You’re both working for me and I’m
Telling you you’re working through
Sandy looked at Jayney and said
Do you think we should tell him
He can keep his jobs and pay us what
He’s owing ‘cos we’re leaving
We’re going away for the weekend

The boss said what makes you
Think you can talk to me the way you do
And quit your jobs when I own you
And can bring you down so you never
Ever work again in this town
And that would be the end
To your weekend

Sandy looked at the boss and she said
Now get this inside your head we
Can do what we want to do and
we’re telling you we’re through and we
don’t need your goddam work and we
can call you a jerk and tell you see
we’re getting away for the weekend
‘cos yesterday we won the
Goddam lottery.

Won’t take long
Find that song
Help us see
What went wrong
Put another dollar
In the Touch Tunes

Ain’t it funny
When you got
Nothing to lose
Listen to those
Southern blues
Playing for you
Lifting you
Out of the blue
Put another dollar
In the Touch Tunes

Play some country
Play some blues
Whatever you play
Takes away the
Sad and blue
Gives you a moment
To catch your feelings
Music revealing
What’s eating you
You’ll find it soon
Put another dollar
In the Touch Tunes

Your heart will
Reveal what you
Concealed for so long
Put your money in the
Touch Tunes
Soon you’ll find
The song that
Releases your mind
Lets you do what
You always knew
Tell him soon
What’s on your mind
Put another dollar
In the Touch Tunes

Put another dollar
In the Touch Tunes
Play that number
Make us both remember
What we had was true
Put another dollar in
The Touch Tunes and
I will get the last dance
With you
Put another dollar
In the Touch Tunes
Play that number
Make us both remember
What we had was true
Put another dollar in
The Touch Tunes and
I will get the last dance
With you
