Ohio (Come Back To Texas)

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

She said she needed a break
A little time to think
But then she went to Cleveland
With some guy named Leelan
That she met at the bank

There’s nothing wrong with Ohio
Except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
And I’d love to see the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame

So when your done doing whatever
And when your thru doing whoever
You know Denton County will be right here waiting for you….

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lonestar State
There’s a seat for you at the rodeo
And I’ve got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

I think I made a mistake
Its not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
Then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I’ll sit here and wait

For her to come back home (I’d wish you come back home)
It shouldn’t take very long (so long so long)
I bet she misses the sunrise
And Mrs. Baird’s fruit pies but I could be wrong

So when your done doing whatever
And when your thru doing whoever
You know Denton County will be right here waiting for you….

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
I bet you missed your exit
And drove right on thru the Lone Star State
There’s a seat for you at the rodeo
And I’ve got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

Troy Aikmen wants you back
Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
And the Bush twins want you back
And Pantera wants you back
And Blue Bell wants you back

I got a premonition
I’m taking a petition
And the whole state’s gonna sign

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lone Star State
There’s a seat for you at the rodeo
And I’ve got every slow dance saved

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lone Star State
There’s a seat for you at the rodeo
And I’ve got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

The River

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we’d dive
Oh, down to the river we’d ride

I got a job working construction
For the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain’t been much work
On account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister, they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I dont remember
And Mary acts like she don’t care

But I remember us riding in my brother’s car
Her body tanned and wet down at the resevoir
At night on them banks i’d lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath

she’d take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true
Or is it something worse

That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river, my baby and I
Oh, down to the river we ride

No Surrender

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Well, we busted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record tape
Than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighthood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
Tou say you’re tired
And you just wanna close
And follow your dreams down

Well we made a promise
We swore we’d always remember
No retreat baby
No surrender
Like soldiers on a winter’s night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby
No surrender

When our young faces grow sad and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
Now I’m ready to grow young again
And hear your sister’s voice calling us home
Across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
with these drums and these guitars

Cause we made a promise
We swore we’d always remember
No retreat baby
No surrender
Blood brothers on a summer’s night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby
No surrender

Now on the street tonight
The lights grow dim
The walls of my room, they’re closing in
But its good to see your smiling face
And to hear your voice again
Now we could sleep in the twilight
By the riverbed
With the wide open country in our hearts
And these romantic dreams in our heads

Cause we made a promise
We swore we’d always remember
No retreat baby
No surrender
Blood brothers on a summer’s night
With a vow to defend
No retreat baby
No surrender
No retreat baby
No surrender

So Cold

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You’re so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die

Show me how it ends
It’s alright
show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty
It’s alright
Well that’s alright
Let’s give this another try

If you find your family
Don’t you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry
You’re so cold but you
Feel alive
Lay your hand on me
One last time

Show me how it ends
It’s alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty
It’s alright
Well that’s alright
Let’s give this another try

Showe me how it ends
It’s alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty
It’s alright
Well that’s alright
Let’s give this another try

It’s alright

It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

Surf Colorado

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

I saw you there
Your long brown hair
Falling on your face the way it used to fall on mine
At one time
A long time ago
I still remember everything you said to me that night

It’s too bad and it’s too late
You were such a big mistake
Please don’t call here anymore
I used to miss you

There’s no surfin Colorado anyway
And it’s a shame to hear you’re happy and you still look at me
that way
There’s no surfin Colorado anyway, yeah
She never waved to me or said “good Bye”
One night she just left me and her behind

There she goes
And no one knows
What she does to my heart, still, she’ll never know
How we speak
Across the room
Eye to eye she’s holding him, holding me soon

It’s too bad and it’s too late
Was it such a big mistake?
You don’t call me anymore
And I still miss you

There’s no surfin Colorado anyway
And it’s a shame to hear you’re happy and you still look at me
that way
There’s no surfin Colorado anyway, yeah
She never waved to me or said “good Bye”
One night she just left me and her behind

Remember the first time
God Damn we got so high
She held me so close that I thought that I might break
And know she’s a mile high
And I’m on Texas time
She traded rattlesnakes for bunny runs in Colorado Springs

There’s no surfin Colorado anyway
And it’s a shame to hear you’re happy and you still look at me
that way
There’s no surfin Colorado anyway, yeah
She never waved to me or said “good Bye”
One night she just left me and her behind
