I said hey sugar mama
Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight
So lets have a ball at the ole dance hall
And later on we just might
Go make a little love beneath the moon above
Until the mornin light
Sugar mama Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight
Well Ive been pushed down kicked around
All over town all week
Burnin both ends from dusk til dawn

Tryin to make ends meet
Tell me why, Lord tell me why
Nice guys end up last in line
Theres only one thing on Gods green earth
To get this cruel world off my mind

Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight
So lets have a ball at the ole dance hall
And later on we just might
Go make a little love beneath the moon above
Until the mornin light
Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight

Id say Monday is the worst day

For those workin man blues
And Tuesday and Wednesdays more the same ole bad news
Well Thursdays ok and Fridays gettin brighter
When the whistle blows at 5:00
Im comin home to pull an all-nighter

Sugar mama Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight
So lets have a ball at the ole dance hall
And later on we just might
Go make a little love beneath the moon above
Until the mornin light
Sugar mama Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight

Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight
So kick off your shoes, forget about your blues
And let your troubles take flight
Well you and me hun well have a little fun
Until the mornin light
Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight

Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight
So lets make a little love beneath the moon above
In the glow of a kerosene light
Well be turnin on and on til the break of dawn
Til we turn it on just right
Sugar mama Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight
Im a gonna wanna gotta have a heyday tonight

For the life of me will her memory keep on keepin' me awake?
This empty pillow by my head is proof you sleep in the bed that you make
Just like a fool I did nothin', nothin' short of helpin' her pack
Wish I could find a way, find the words to say
To bring my baby back

I've got a good thing goin', and she ain't slowin' down
A good thing goin', showin' no sign of turnin' around
If I could go back, somehow backtrack
I'd undo all I did wrong, but I've got a bad feelin' my good thing goin' is a good thing gone

Thought she'd at least call to say that she was ok
While she left me walkin' the floor
Maybe she was long gone long before she ever set foot out that door
I guess over time the love in her heart was overshadowed by her heartaches
She didn't scream or shout, she had it all mapped out, and she never even tapped the brakes

I've got a good thing goin', and she ain't slowin' down
A good thing goin', showin' no sign of turnin' around
If I could go back, somehow backtrack
I'd undo all I did wrong, but I've got a bad feelin' my good thing goin' is a good thing gone

There goes my life down that highway
All of my dreams slippin' further away from this broken home
I've gotta put the pieces all back together

I've got a good thing goin', and she ain't slowin' down
A good thing goin', showin' no signs of turnin' around
If I could go back, somehow backtrack
I'd undo all I did wrong, but I've got a bad feelin' my good thing goin' is a good thing gone

I've got a good thing goin'

. . .


Like that old Titanic
Running full steam ahead
You fogged up my mind
With love words you said
I could not see the danger
I got myself in
Till my ship was sinking
And I couldn't swim

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way
I couldn't see the truth
Till it was in my face
If I'd seen it coming
I could have turned away
I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

Now the door went under
In an ocean of regret
With no hope of rescue
From love I can't forget
I never knew just what hit me
To far gone to say
I never knew my heart
Was in harm's way

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way
I couldn't see the truth
Till it was in my face
If I'd seen it coming
I could have turned away
I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way
I couldn't see the truth
Till it was in my face
If I'd seen it coming
I could have turned away
I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

I didn't know my heart
Was in harm's way

I held the keys to that Chevrolet
and you held the keys to my heart
I'd throw a fit, hit the dash,
get out and kick the tire
when that old piece of junk wouldn't start
It'd be smoking good I'm slam down the hood
Just to see you laughing at me
On the other side of a dirty windshield,
lookin' as pretty as could be

(chorus)
We sure saw a lot of miles,
never even crossed that county line
I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
so you'd always be mine
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
or run out of gasoline?
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

In the blink of an eye high school flew by
you went your way and I went mine
But we swore we'd make it,
our love could take it
400 miles could stand the test of time

Well I left that fall to play college ball,
but my dreams would all come to an end
'Cause you know the big leagues never called,
and you went and fell in love with him

(chorus)
We sure saw a lot of miles,
never even crossed that county line
I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
so you'd always be mine
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
or run out of gasoline?
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs
I still think about you in that red Malibu
and I just can't help but laugh

We sure saw a lot of miles,
never even crossed that county line
I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
so you'd always be mine
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
or run out of gasoline?
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

Love broke down around 3rd gear and 17
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

Whenever she walks flowers grow in her footsteps
Whenever she talks all the birds hush their singing
The heart of a saint and the face of an angel
Absolutely unbelievably beautiful


And when this cruel world's been gettin' me down
She'll take my frown and she'll turn it back around
Like a clown, she'll crack a joke
Acting crazy as a fool
Absolutely unbelievably beautiful


(Chorus)

It'd be a big old fat lie, if I said I
Wasn't turned on just by her looks alone
She's so much more, so much more than meets the eye
She's an angel on loan from up above

And when I come home and the day is sinkin down
She'll set the mood and put some soft slow music on
And all 7 wonders ain't half as wonderful
Never ceases to amaze me
The epitome of what love should be
Absolutely unbelievably beautiful

. . .


Sometimes I hear a woman cryin
And a man sayin nothin at all
Often I hear children laughin
And footsteps walkin down the hall
There's a ghost for every memory
Always remindin me that I was wrong
And since her leavin
I've been sleepin
Leavin all of the lights on

(Chorus)

What was once a happy home
Feels more like a haunted house
Haunted by the sounds of broken hearts
Rattlin off the chain of broken vows
It sends a chill through my bones
It's got me scared as a mouse
Now empty and alone
What was once a happy home
Feels more like a haunted house

There's no place to run and hide
I swear she's everywhere I go
In every room I, smell her perfume,
I know she's not here
But I'm not alone

(Chorus)

It sends a chill through my bones
It's got me scared as a mouse
Now empty and alone
What was once a happy home
Feels more like a haunted house

. . .


I'm a game that you used to play
And I'm a plan that you didn't lay so well
And I'm a fire that burns in your mind
So close your eyes I'm a memory


I'm a love that you bought for a song
And I'm a voice on a green telephone
And I'm a day that lasted so long
So close your eyes I'm a memory


I'm a dream that comes with the night
And I'm a face that fades with the light
And I'm a tear that falls out of sight
So close your eyes I'm a memory


I'm a love that you bought for a song
And I'm a voice on a green telephone
And I'm a day that lasted so long
So close your eyes I'm a memory

. . .


We'd walk up and down the Concho River
We'd find a soft place to watch the sun go down
So was it me or was it what I could not give you
She left me shattered, my life scattered all around

Chorus:

She said time would heal my broken heart
and I'd find a true companion for my soul
You know she was right, we were wrong
Nothing more than a pretty song
About a boy who loved a girl
In San Angelo

Repeat Intro

When I'd close my eyes, I could hear her singing
In the chapel where she said we'd wed someday
It rattled me so to hear them old church bells ringing
Knowing well enough we'd never love that way

Repeat Chorus

Looking back it was a blessing she broke my heart in two
But if I had never lost her, baby I'd have never found you

Repeat Chorus

About a boy who once loved a girl in San Angelo

. . .


Well before she came along he was lonesome onry and mean
It was his way or the high way
But she had a way that hed never seen
Hed been livin hard and fast
All his takin was takin its toll
And it took a good hearted, hard headed angel
To help him gain control

He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
Cause they couldnt see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldnt change for no one

Except for Jessie

Well she never tried to change him
But she loved him and gave him a son
And that aint easy with a honky tonkin man
Makin music on the run
And Lord knows she was a good wife
Always good at findin ways to right his wrongs
She was the love of his life, the inspiration for his songs

He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
Cause they couldnt see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldnt change for no one
Except for Jessie


He wore his own kind of hat
And for that folks called him an outlaw
Well some even cussed his name
Cause they couldnt see the same man she saw
He strummed the beat of a different drum
And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
And he said he wouldnt change for no one
Except for Jessie

Your standing there, that look in your eye
Your looking for good ways to tell me goodbye
Something about people how they never know
They're loving somebody then letting them go
Your looking for reasons there ain't no need
You can blame it on me.

Chorus:
You can blame it on me. I was the one
Acting like real life was some old love song
I held you too close; I couldn't let go
You can't loose your cool these days I know
So I'll go on home and you can feel free
You can blame it on me

Well I am too rough; I work too hard
I've got no cool friends, driving ol' cars
I'm not the picture of anyone's dreams
I'm full of bluebonnets, boots and old Jeans
Your looking for reasons -
There ain't no need; you can blame it on me.

Chorus

When you start looking
For ways outta love
Then I've been making mistakes by the dozen
So if you wanna leave
You can blame it on me

I held you too close; I couldn't let go
You can't loose your cool these days I know
So I'll go on home and you can feel free
To blame it on me.

All on Me

You can blame it on me

. . .


If you'd had made a tag on the back
Of those designer jeans she's wearin'
It's some big name brand you can't buy at a Wal-mart
And you from what she's got on

From her Versace to her Louis Vuitton
You wouldn't think she'd know every Merle Haggard song by
heart

But when it comes down to the heart of the situation
She's a little rockin' honky tonkin' modern day Minnie
Pearl
I should know, I've been all across this great nation
Oh there ain't no doubt, she's an All American country girl

Well she comes pullin' up to you at a red light
In some high-fallutin fancy foreign car
Rich lady shades and a little dog in the window
You'd never know she was born and raised right down on her
grandaddy's farm

But when it comes down to the heart of the situation
She's a little rockin' honky tonkin' modern day Minnie
Pearl
I should know, I've been all across this great nation
Oh there ain't no doubt, she's an All American country girl

There's somethin' bout her slow southern twang
It sweet talks me into anything
Her smile, her wink, and her pretty please
Brings any country boy down to his knees


But when it comes down to the heart of the situation
She's a little rockin' honky tonkin' modern day Minnie
Pearl
I should know, I've been all across this great nation
Oh there ain't no doubt, she's an All American country girl
Oh there ain't no doubt, she's an All American country girl

. . .


Just you know why
Why you and I
Will by and by
Know true love ways
Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And you'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways

Throughout the days
Our true love ways
will bring us joys to share
with those who really care

Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways

Throughout the days
Our true love ways
will bring us joys to share
with those who really care

Sometimes we'll sigh
Sometimes we'll cry
And we'll know why
Just you and I
Know true love ways
Know true love ways

With Her Little One In One Arm
And The Laundry In The Other
She Could Sure Use A Helping Hand
But Thats Just The Life Of A Single Mother

Somebody's Calling On The Phone
Somebody's Knocking At The Door
She Forgets And Burns The Dinner
Throws It Across The Kitchen Floor
And For A Moment She Wants To Give Up And Break Down

But Nobody's Crying But The Baby
She Ain't Far From Going Crazy
And There Are Times She Wonders How She's Going To Make It
But She's Got To Be Strong Enough For Two
She's Gotta Do What He Wouldn't Do
No Time For Tears Around Here
Nobody's Crying But The Baby

And When The Day Is Done
She'll Tuck Her Angel In
She'll Turn Out The Lights And Start Missing Him Again
Her Mascara Slowly Runs Down Her Face

But Nobody's Crying But The Baby
She Ain't Far From Going Crazy
And There Are Times She Wonders How She's Going To Make It
But She's Got To Be Strong Enough For Two
She's Gotta Do What He Wouldn't Do
No Time For Tears Around Here
Nobody's Crying

But The Baby Is Getting Older
The Lonely Nights Are Getting Colder
And What She Wouldn't Give To Have A Shoulder To Cry On
But She's Got To Be Strong Enough For Two
She's Gotta Do What He Wouldn't Do
No Time For Tears Around Here
Nobody's Crying But The Baby
