Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me another shot of whiskey
Bartender hit me one more time
He left, I cried
I'm lost inside, won't ya help me
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time

Well I don't want to listen to the old jukebox
so don'tcha put no quarters in the slot
I don't wanna talk and I don't wanna dance
I dang sure ain't lookin' for romance

I don't wanna hang out with the crowd
I don't wanna party and get real loud
Believe me when I tell ya that I've thought this through
There's only one thing that I want you to do

Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me another shot of whiskey
Bartender hit me one more time
He left, I cried
I'm lost inside, won't ya help me
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time

Here's my story, it's sad but it's true
There's so many things that I never knew
He loved to party and he loved to dance
He loved to get loud every time he had the chance

I always thought he was a simple-minded Okie
Little did I know he was the king of karaoke
He was everything that a man should be
Problem was that it wasn't with me

Pour me, pour me
Pour me, pour me another shot of whiskey
Bartender hit me one more time
He left, I cried
I'm lost inside, won't ya help me
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time
Fill it to the top 'cause I hit rock bottom this time

Pour Me
Pour Me
Pour Me

(Ira Dean/Karen Staley/Doug Kahan)

Hey Babe
Remember all of those nights
When you told me that you had to work late
Think back
To the times you stood me up
And the countless broken dates

I got tired of the aggravation
So I made a reservation
A special evening I planned just for you

Party of one at a table for two
Waitin' on me like I waited on you
I can just see you now
I can picture your face
Checkin' your watch
Feelin' so out of place
Now you're gonna find out how it feels
To be so lonesome and blue
Bein' a party of one at a table for two

Hey babe
By now you must be wonderin'
What the heck is taken' so long
you think
I'm probably stuck in traffic
But boy you couldn't be more wrong
I call and tell you that I'll be later
I left a message with your waiter
Says, I hope you enjoy your night alone, bein'...

Party of one at a table for two
Waitin' on me like I waited on you
I can just see you now
I can picture your face
Checkin' your watch
Feelin' so out of place
Now you're gonna find out how it feels
To be so lonesome and blue
Bein' a party of one at a table for two

Thought maybe messin' with your mind
Might teach you a lesson this time
Surely you're smart enough to know
You always reap what you sow

Party of one at a table for two
Waitin' on me like I waited on you
I can just see you now
I can picture your face
Checkin' your watch
Feelin' so out of place
Now you're gonna find out how it feels
To be so lonesome and blue

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die

I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota)
And it tore me up ev'ry time I heard her drawl, Southern Drawl
Then I heard my dream was back downstream cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called

Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river)
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the bluff
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone

Well I pulled into Natchez next day down the river
But there wasn't that much to make a rounder stay very long
But when I left it was rainin' so nobody saw me cry
Big River why you doin' me this way

Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, Roll it on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf

(Ira Dean/Karen Staley/Doug Kahan)

I thought I had it beat, I thought I was cured
I didn't feel the need for you anymore
I had an iron will so I dropped my guard
Then I found I still had you in my heart
I gave up, I tried my best
It's time to admit I'm powerless, but...

Hey, I'm gonna be fine
Takin' it one step at a time
Prayin' you right off of my mind
If only for today
I may never be free
It's a lifelong recovery
But when I think of you and me
At least I cut it down to every other memory

Once a habit's formed, man, it's hard to quit
I'm countin' on the Lord to help me forget
His tender kiss and the way we touched
I tried to resist but I'm not strong enough
Little by little I'm facing the facts
It's two steps forward and one step back

Hey, I'm gonna be fine
Takin' it one step at a time
Prayin' you right off of my mind
If only for today
I may never be free
It's a lifelong recovery
But when I think of you and me
At least I cut it down to every other memory

Hey, I'm gonna be fine
Takin' it one step at a time
Prayin' you right off of my mind
If only for today
I may never be free
It's a lifelong recovery
But when I think of you and me
At least I cut it down to every other memory

At least I cut it down to every other memory

(Ira Dean/Keith Burns/Heidi Newfield)

I woke up this mornin'
With a feelin' that was gone for quite some time
Your long gone face has been replaced
With better thoughts now runnin' through my mind
When you left you cut my heart in half
Just took some time but now I'm makin' my way back

I feel more like me
I've let go of your memory
Now the hands of time have been so kind
And finally set me free
I feel more like me

She compromised and justified
No matter what the cost
Inch by inch became a mile until she just got lost

There was a time when I was strong
Wild and free and runnin' with the wind
But now the chains are finally gone
And I know I'll be that way again
You took my soul and tore it clean in two
But ever since I saw that open door and walked right through

I feel more like me
I've let go of your memory
Now the hands of time have been so kind
And finally set me free
I feel more like me

I compromised and justified
No matter what the cost
Inch by inch became a mile till I just got lost
But there's no more cryin'
'Cause I'm flyin' and today's a brand new day
Just look at me go now
I'm on a roll now
And I think it's safe to say that

I feel more like me
I've let go of your memory
Now the hands of time have been so kind
And finally set me free

Jesse James was an outlaw man
He was always breakin' the law
Six guns firing from both his hands
Fastest you ever saw
Did he do it for the money
Or was it for the fame
Finally somebody asked him
Jesse, why you wanna rob them trains
And Jessie said

It's just what I do when I can't get no lovin'
It's just what I do when I can't get no lovin'
I'm the meanest hombre you ever saw
'Cause lately I ain't gettin' no lovin' at all
It's just what I do
It's just what I do

Well Orville Wright
Set his sights
High up in the air
Him and Wilbur worked day and night
He didn't seem to care
Well the town folk said if you were meant to fly
God would have given you wings
What makes you want to spend all of your time
Building that flying machine
And Orville said

It's just what I do when I can't get no lovin'
It's just what I do when I can't get no lovin'
I'm the first flight boy you ever saw
'Cause lately I ain't gettin' no lovin' at all
It's just what I do
It's just what I do
Ooh yeah

Well Picasso painted them pictures
There was beauty in every stroke
When asked about his motivation
He said, I think it's about time you should know
It's just what I do when I can't get no lovin'
It's just what I do when I can't get no lovin'
I'm the workinest painter that you ever saw
'Cause lately I ain't gettin' no lovin' at all
It's just what I do
It's just what I do
It's just what I do

(George Teren/Lewis Anderson)

Before you must leave
This evening, this hour
And the rush of this moment is through
I want to tell you
How good it felt to
Completely surrender to you
Feeling you close
Right here besides me
Almost suspended in time
I don't want to move
I don't want to let go
I don't want to leave this behind

Honey, stay in my arms
Stay in this cradle
And rock me to sleep
Tell me you're able
To make time stand still
And there's nowhere you've got to be

Stay in this moment with me
The wind through the window
The words that we whisper
A touch only true love can claim
As long as the moonlight chases the shadows
There's nothing that I want to change

Honey, stay in my arms
Stay in this cradle
And rock me to sleep
Tell me you're able
To make time stand still
And there's nowhere you've got to be

Honey, stay in my arms
Stay in this cradle
And rock me to sleep
Tell me you're able
To make time stand still

Now when I was a young girl
My dad warned me about the opposite sex
He'd say, yeah, that's just what you need
Some crazy boy with wild ideas
You know what always happens next

I tried to heed his advice
Now I'm thinkin' it sounds kinda nice

It's just what I need on a night like this
A long walk in the dark, someone I can't resist
A little rendezvous, a little mystery
When I look at you I think that's just what I need

Now my momma told me in this dog-eat-dog world
You gotta work harder than a man
She'd say, yeah that's just what you need
Some romance book Romeo callin' you at work and messin' up your plans

Night falls, I slow down
I start dreamin' of you comin' around

It's just what I need on a night like this
A long walk in the dark, someone I can't resist
A little rendezvous, a little mystery
When I look at you I think that's just what I need

Moonlight, sweet bliss
Melting with every kiss
Dancin' real slow
When you hold me close I know

It's just what I need on a night like this
A long walk in the dark, someone I can't resist
A little rendezvous, a little mystery
When I look at you I think that's just what I need

Just what I need
Just what I need

(Keith Burns/Ira Dean)

Tonight I'll be drinkin' tequila
And toasting to old Mexico
Listening to Waylon and Willie
And feeding the fire down below
It's only been twenty-four hours
Since my baby walked out on me
If everything's right I will make it tonight
'Cause I've got a sure remedy

From sunup to sundown
I'll paint this one-horse town
I don't give a damn if anyone knows
I'll party on till the heartache is gone
Tonight makes it one in a row

I'm not concerned with tomorrow
It's gonna be more of the same
Dancin' on top of the tables
Till I can't remember her name
Hey bartender break out the bottle
I don't need no salt or no lime
Just keep 'em comin' till my body's numb
She's no longer here on my mind

From sunup to sundown
I'll paint this one-horse town
I don't give a damn if anyone knows
I'll party on till the heartache is gone
Tonight makes it one in a row

From sunup to sundown
I'll paint this one-horse town
I don't give a damn if anyone knows
I'll party on till the heartache is gone
Tonight makes it one in a row

Tonight makes it one in a row
Tonight makes it one in a row

(Keith Burns/Ira Dean)

Deep inside I know that you've been hurtin'
And your bitter words were brought on by the pain
I said it's over
Now I'm not so certain
Baby if I knew you felt the same

Now would be the time
To wrap your arms around me
To look me in the eye
Get down to the truth
Well my heart is on the line
Just reach out and take it
If there ever was a chance to change my mind
Now would be the time

Word out on the street is you still want me
There's been a lot of talkin' goin' 'round
And right here at this moment you can show me
We could save this love from goin' down

Now would be the time
To wrap your arms around me
To look me in the eye
Get down to the truth
Well my heart is on the line
Just reach out and take it
If there ever was a chance to change my mind
Now would be the time

Now would be the time
To wrap your arms around me
To look me in the eye
Get down to the truth
Well my heart is on the line
Just reach out and take it
If there ever was a chance to change my mind
Now would be the time

If there ever was a chance to change my mind

(Keith Burns / Dawna Bradford)

I called up the DJ
On Friday after work
I told him how you done me wrong
And how much it hurt
I said, mister I got some things
To get off my chest
I told him what I had in mind
But he turned down my request, he said

You can't say that on the radio
I'd really like to help you out
That's just the way it goes
So sad and that's too bad
Everybody knows
You can't say that on the radio

He told me he understood exactly how I felt
He said, boy I been in your shoes
Once or twice myself
I got a hundred thousand watts
A runnin' through this microphone
And I could let your message ring loud and clear
But tomorrow I'd be gone, because

You can't say that on the radio
I'd really like to help you out
That's just the way it goes
So sad and that's too bad
Everybody knows
You can't say that on the radio

No, you can't say that

(Kim Tribble/David Lee Murphy)

People in line got a real good laugh
When I pumped two dollars worth of premium gas
Money down the drain
(It's all I could afford)

A twist off bottle and tall boy can
In a brown paper sack from the quick stop man
Got a hand full of change
(It's all I could afford)

I ain't got no dough (dough) no (no)
I get it and it goes
Like the water flows outta my hands (hands)
Uncle Sam (Sam)
I want you to know the money's done

Spent (no it just don't last)
Yeah it goes too fast (it ain't coming back)
I don't know where it went (spent it on your friends)
All I know is it gets spent (yeah it just gets spent)
Yeah, the money gets spent

Tried my ATM card, county bank
It flashed me no funds
Even told me no thanks
Wouldn't give it back to me
(it's all I could afford)

Yeah I went to go buy me a brand new dress
But the man behind the counter wouldn't take my check
Said theirs nothin' for free
(it's all I could afford)

I'd like to take a vacation (hey) to the islands (ho)
I'd love to take you where the water's so blue
Bring Mama (mama) to the Bahamas ('Hamas)
But no can do 'cause the money i'd use is

Spent (no it just don't last)
Yeah it goes too fast (it ain't coming back)
I don't know where it went (spent it on your friends)
All I know is it gets spent (yeah it just gets spent)
Yeah, the money gets spent

There's people walkin' 'round in the world out there
Just wishing they could have what we got here
But you can't buy love like a lotta people think
'Cause when it comes to us just as fast as we can make it... it gets spent

Spent (no it just don't last)
Yeah it goes too fast (it ain't coming back)
I don't know where it went (spent it on your friends)
All I know is it gets spent (yeah it just gets spent)
