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

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

She’s Got a Boyfriend Now

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

She used to be the happiest girl I knew and
I remember seeing her laugh
I remember the time she cried
When tears filler her eyes
As we sang “Love Song” by Tesla
Her smile is turning upside down
She’s got a boyfriend now

She’s got a boyfriend now
And it’s hard to see
What she’s got herself into
She’s getting used to
The loneliness that’s bottled up inside
She knows she’ll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
‘Cuz it’s up to her to make some sense somehow
She’s got a boyfriend now

She always knew she’d find the right guy
Who’d hold her through the night
Someone she’d take to meet her mom
And take her to see Britney Spears
Who knows if Clark Kent is a Superman?
Or if he’s just an asshole
Leading on and on
And on and on and on

She’s got a boyfriend now
And it’s hard to see
What she’s got herself into
She’s getting used to
The loneliness that’s bottled up inside
She knows she’ll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
‘Cuz it’s up to her to make some sense somehow
She’s got a boyfriend now
She’s got a boyfriend now

Why does it always have to be
Guys like that always get to be the one
She thinks the world of
And why does it always have to be
Girls like that can’t ever find someone
Someone like me
And it’s hard to know the difference
Between inside and out
When she asks if I can mend her broken heart
I wouldn’t know where to start

She got what she always wanted
She got what she always wanted

(She’s only crying on the inside)

She’s got a boyfriend now
And it’s hard to see
What she’s got herself into
She’s getting used to
The loneliness that’s bottled up inside
She knows she’ll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
‘Cuz it’s up to her to make some sense somehow
She’s got a boyfriend now

She’s got a boyfriend now
And it’s hard to see
What she’s got herself into
She’s getting used to
The loneliness that’s bottled up inside
She knows she’ll stick right through the sad times
And all the bad times
‘Cuz it’s up to her to make some sense somehow
She’s got a boyfriend now

Out the Window

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

You said to never ever come back
I wasn’t sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But I’ve got solutions in my head

So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.

Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass
I never meant to cause you problems
But I’ve got solutions in my head.

So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.

You said it’s over
You said never again
Why does this happen all the time?
You don’t even want to be friends
It makes you happy when I cry
Now all I’ve got left is my sanity
Now all I’ve got left is my sanity
And I’m not sure how far it goes.

Life After Lisa

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

I’m waking up and bakin’
Watching the parade cause today’s the day I got over you
Taking out the trash and the pictures that I stashed
Of the two of us in 1992

You stole my heart when Eddie Veder was king
I gave you a foot massage I gave you my ring
You left me for a drummer cause you said I couldn’t sing
But, That’s ok

Cause there’ll be
No more mountain climbing in the rain
No more Long hair clogging up the drain
No more Life will never be the same
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all

Saw you with the dude who gave us our first tattoos
Did he cover up my name that was fast
Can you believe that I’m alive, still not working 9 to 5
And my little band is kicking some ass

So when you asked me if I hated you now
It’s not you it’s just all of the times I missed out
On sleeping with your roommate every time you passed out
But, That’s ok

Cause there’ll be
No more mountain climbing in the rain
No more Long hair clogging up the drain
No more Life will never be the same
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all

I’ll bet you’re saying to yourself that you’ll find somebody
else like me
But all I’ve gotta say is there ain’t no f**king way that you’re
getting me to say
I’m sorry……….No today!!!

Cause there’ll be
No more mountain climbing in the rain
No more Long hair clogging up the drain
No more Life will never be the same
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all

Cleaning up the house again
Listening to House Of Pain
Having headaches in my brain
Listening to you complain
Shopping at the mall again
I’m out of rhymes I’ve gotta say
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all!!!!
