(Don Cook, Ronnie Dunn, Kix Brooks)

Chorus:
I saw the light
I've been baptised
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again 
I'm a brand new man

Well the whole town's talking
'Bout the line I'm walking
That leads right to your door
Oh how I used to roam
I was a rolling stone

I used to have a wild side
They say a country-mile-wide
I'd burn those beer joints 
down
That's all changed now
You turned my life around

Repeat Chorus

I used to love 'em and leave 
'em
I'd brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me
down
Then I met you
Now my heart beats true

Baby you and me together 
Feels more like forever
Than anything I've ever
known
We're right on track
I ain't looking back

Repeat Chorus 3 times

I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

. . .


(Don Cook, Ronnie Dunn, Kix Brooks)

You picked me up, you shot
me down
You're stepping out all over
town
Drove me back to drinking in 
this bar
I found myself a brand new
friend
I'm headed that road again 
Working on my next broken
heart

Happy or sad, it's hard to tell
You taught me how to hurt 
so well
But when it comes to love
I know my part
I'll play this game that I can't
win
I'll be somebody's fool again
Working on my next broken
heart

I thought all along you'd 
Be the death of me
I met one tonight who wants 
What's left of me
I've seen that look before
She'll tear my world apart
I'm working on my next
broken heart

I thought all along you'd 
Be the death of me
I met one tonight who wants 
What's left of me
I've seen that look before
She'll tear my world apart
I'm working on my next
broken heart

I'm working on my next
broken heart
I'm working on my next

. . .


(Don Cook/Kix Brooks)

I bought my girl a diamond, it was our engagement ring
She took it to a pawn shop, like it didn't mean a thing
She went right out and bought herself
A brand new party dress
She'll be looking good tonight
When we go out I guess

She's a cool drink of water
She's done hocked the ring I bought her
She might be the devil's daughter
But she's a cool drink of water

I took her to a night club, where we used to go a lot
The beer is cold and frosty and the band is blazing hot
I went back for a refill
And this guy walked up and said
There's a blonde out on the dance floor
Turning everybody's head

She's a cool drink of water
And I should run yes, I probably oughta
She might be the devil's daughter
But she's a cool drink of water

Well I'd had on too many, so she took my keys to drive
She said we'll have more fun tonight if we get home alive
Well that copper clocked her doing ninety in a twenty zone
But she didn't get a ticket
Just the number to his phone

She's a cool drink of water
And that ole cop really thinks he caught her
He just met the devil's daughter
She's a cool, cool drink of water

She's a cool drink of water
And I should run yes, I probably oughta
She might be the devil's daughter

. . .



He left you - she left me 
Drowning in this misery 
We stopped living 
When they said goodbye 
We've been faithful to these blues 
But I've had enough - now how about you 
Don't you think we've earned the right 
To go cheating on the blues tonight 
Cheating on the blues tonight 
Let's go out and do it right 
Throw it into overdrive 
And get on down the road 
Shake it till the break of dawn 
Party till the heartache's gone 
We'll have us a real good time 
Cheating on the blues tonight 

Pick you up at half past eight 
You can bet I won't be late 
With any luck we'll make the dance by nine 
We won't talk about the past 
Let old memories die at last 
Have some fun - keep it light 
Cheating on the blues tonight 

CHORUS 

. . .


(Ronnie Dunn)

When the sun goes down
On my side of town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
The whole world turns blue

There's a rundown bar
Cross the railroad tracks
I've got a table for two
Way in the back
Where I sit alone
And think of losing you

I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of this neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams 
Of a neon moon

I think of two young lovers
Running wild and free
I close my eyes
And sometimes see
You in the shadows
Of this smoke-filled room

No telling how many tears
I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That I've lied
Telling my poor heart
She'll come back someday
Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams 
Of a neon moon

The jukebox plays on
Drink by drink
The words of every sad song
Seem to say what I think
This hurt inside of me
Ain't never gonna end

Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
From a neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams 
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams 
Of a neon moon

To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams 

. . .


(Kix Brooks/Don Cook)

I lost her trail on a Friday night
She was gone before I got home
She'd been getting restless
In that big house all alone
I've been up and down these city streets
For three nights in a row
And lord it's hard to find that girl
When she gets the urge to go

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon

And I know she'll be coming back
Her car is waiting right outside
But, I don't want to think about
Who's taking her for a ride
And her unpredictability
Is what I love about her best

Lord I've got to find her quick
Before she does something I regret

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon

She's out there somewhere
Burnin up the night
Somehow I've got to run her down
I'm running out of time

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume
And she gets crazy on a full moon 

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind
Say they haven't seen a thing
But I know she's been here lately
I can still smell her perfume

. . .



These honky tonks and bright lights 
Used to thrill me 
I'd paint the town and stumble in at down 
But now there's no one listening for my footsteps 
It's winding down to one more night alone 

I thought I had her wrapped around my finger 
I didn't think this bridge would ever burn 
I always thought she'd take me back 
But she taught me the cold hard fact 
When it comes to love I've got a lot to learn 

It never crossed my mind that she might leave me 
She did her best to love me till the end 
If she were here I know I'd treat her better 
But I won't ever get that chance again 

. . .


(Ronnie Dunn)

Out in the country past the city limits sign
Well there's a honky tonk near the county line
The joint starts jumpin everynight when the sun goes down
They got whiskey women music & smoke
It's where all the country folk go to boot scootin' boogie

I've got a good job I work hard for my money
When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck & let the horses run
I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie


Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie
Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie

The bartender asks me says son what'll it be
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
The dance floors hoppin' & it's hotter than the fourth of July
I see outlaws, inlaws crooks & straights all out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie

Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin
Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie

. . .



I got whiskey to keep me warm when the sun goes down 
And this God forsaken honky tonk ain't likely to run out 
So won't you come on home and save me 
Stop me before I drown 
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama 
When you're not around 
And there's women in this town whispering in my ear 
Saying things a man in my condition likes to hear 
So won't you come on home and stop me 
Before I step on out 
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama 
When you're not around 

Well I'm helpless when I'm tempted 
And I'm headed straight for hell 
Oh I've got no resistance 

The Devil knows me well 
So won't you come on home sweet darlin' 
Oh Lord I need you now 
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama 
When you're not around 

Now there's a southbound 
Callin' me further down the track 
And if I get on board that train 
Well I'm never coming back 
So won't you meet me at the station 
And tie my boot heels down 
Cause I'm no good, pretty mama 

When you're not around 

. . .


(Don Cook/Ronnie Dunn/Kix Brooks)

My taxicab's waiting
Wish I could hold you one last time
After all we had together
There's gotta be a better way
Of telling you goodbye

If I had a horse
I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings, I'd fly off
In the sky so blue
If I had the time, I'd spend my
Whole life dreaming
But I'd wake up, still in love with you

Be in Baton Rouge by morning
Hope your missing me by then
I'd like to be the kind of memory
That makes you want to take me back
In your arms again

If I had a horse
I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings, I'd fly off
In the sky so blue
If I had the time, I'd spend my
Whole life dreaming
But I'd wake up, still in love with you

Some night when you get lonely
Will you still remember me

If I had a horse
I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings, I'd fly off
In the sky so blue
If I had the time, I'd spend my
Whole life dreaming
