Lonestar Album

(Bill LaBounty/Cam King/Rick Vincent)

Why do I do this to myself
Why do I want the one that wants somebody else
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could

Why do I always take the fall
I'd rather have you hurtin' me than not have you at all
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
If I could
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could

Another night out with the guys
Waiting for my heart to mend
Then you walk back in my life and it falls apart again

Ain't no doctor in this world
Gonna cure what's ailing me
I keep aching for you girl and it's such sweet misery

Why do I do this to myself
Why do I want the one that wants somebody else
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could

If I could
Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could

Don't you know
I'd get my heartbroke every day if I could
Take it home son

(Richie McDonald/Kyle Green)

Seven hundred head of cattle on an old forgotten trail
Six cowboys and one old man in another day of hell
Chuckwagon lagging behind from the strain of a broken wheel
The only thing to look forward to was a campfire and a meal

Asleep beneath an open sky with just the stars above their heads
A saddle for a pillow and some sagebrush for a bed
Waking up tomorrow was merely done by chance
Back when the west was wild and cowboys didn't dance

When cowboys didn't dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't dance

More coffee from an old tin cup, more sweat upon the brow
Another day of chasing that same old lonely cow
With every new horizon began a brand new day
Thirteen hundred miles to go as they slowly made their way
Across the plains of Texas and through the Colorado snow
Final destination Blackfoot, Idaho

When cowboys didn't dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't dance

When cowboys didn't dance
Didn't wear designer shirts
When their hearts were filled with memories
Their bodies filled with hurt
They would sit around the campfire and exchange a piercing glance
Back when the west was really wild and cowboys didn't dance

Seven hundred head of cattle on an old forgotten trail

(Chick Rains/Michael Martin Murphey)

Changing partners
And changing my mind
Anyone who got to close
Got left behind
Same song and dance
Night after night
Trying to hold out and holding on time

Then you came waltzing in
Like a wild west Texas wind
I swore I'd never fall again
Then you came waltzing in

Picking 'em up and spinning them around
Well it's hard to keep your feet on the ground
I made up my mind to leave love alone
And keep stepping lightly with a heart made of stone

Then you came waltzing in
Like a wild west Texas wind
I swore I'd never fall again
Then you came waltzing in

I swore I'd never fall again

(Richie McDonald/John Rich)

I heard from a friend who's seen you again
Out on a date at night
Romancin', slow dancin'
Holdin' on so tight
When they asked you about me
All you could say
He's nobody, he's nobody

Well nobody loves you
And nobody cares
And nobody wakes up when your not there
And no one can miss you the way that I do
Oh nobody, oh nobody still loves you

Out of sight, out of mind
You didn't waste anytime
Making me part of your past
And there's no stopping
You've forgotten this love I thought would last
I guess I was blind 'cause I can't see
How you could say,
I'm nobody, I'm nobody

Well nobody loves you
And nobody cares
And nobody wakes up when your not there
And no one can miss you the way that I do
Oh nobody, oh nobody still loves you

Well no one could miss you the way that I do
Oh nobody, oh nobody

Well nobody loves you
And nobody cares
Nobody loves you when your not there
(Nobody loves you)
Nobody loves you and nobody cares
(Nobody cares)
Nobody loves you when your not there

(Kenny Loggins)

People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
We've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Love a girl who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love her and she'll bring you luck
If ya find she helps your mind, better take her home
Oh dontcha live alone, try to earn what lovers own

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right

Even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
In the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes

(Richie McDonald/Kyle Green)

Those neon signs are burnin' bright tonight
They got the music cranked up
Gettin' down with some ???
I'd like to shake the hand of the man
Who designed those rocky Janes
You oughta see them on the dance floor
Shake that thing

Shake that thing
Oh, let the music move you
Come on and shake that thing
It's something you can groove to
Shake it left, shake it right into the middle
Clap your hands, stomp your feet with a wiggle
Listen to the words and sing
Shake that thing

It's like a little kid in a big old candy store
Watchin' those sweet things slidin' across the floor
It's a honky tonk playground
And I've found more swings than I've ever seen

You oughta see them on the dance floor
Shake that thing

Shake that thing
Oh, let the music move you
Come on and shake that thing
It's something you can groove to
Shake it left, shake it right into the middle
Clap your hands, stomp your feet with a wiggle
Listen to the words and sing
Shake that thing

Oh what I wouldn't give to be your bodyguard
I wish I had a swing like that in my backyard

Shake that thing
Oh, let the music move you
Come on and shake that thing
It's something you can groove to
Shake it left, shake it right into the middle
Clap your hands, stomp your feet with a wiggle
Listen to the words and sing
Shake that thing

Yeah, shake that thing (shake that thing)
Yeah, shake that thing (shake that thing)
