Now mama I know you've always wished me the best
And I've found somebody and I think she's gonna pass the test
She's a country girl as far as I can see
Mama I hope she's what you had in mind for me

She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this

Now mama I know she didn't grow up on a farm
But she sure knows her way around out behind the barn
And it ain't exactly chores she does at dawn
But she says she's gonna run me till the cows come home

She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this

She likes to go skinny dippin' in the heat of the day
And late at night she wants to roll in the hay
She cranks my tractor with just one kiss
Mama it doesn't get any countrier than this
Yeah, mama it doesn't get any countrier than this

Bartender I may sit here on this barstool all night long
But I won't need much attention
I just need some time alone
So if you'll give me some quarters and a bottle of your best
You can just sit back and let the jukebox do the rest

Give it to me Strait
Sing Am I Blue while I sit here and cry
And tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye
It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound

Let's start off nice and easy
Something like If I Know Me
And we'll work our way up slowly to Fool Hearted Memory
Yeah I've got all night long to sit right here and fall apart
So don't leave out one single song
I know 'em all by broken heart

Give it to me Strait
Sing Am I Blue
While I sit here and cry
And tell me how my baby's gotten so good at goodbye
It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound

There ain't one country singer
That ain't good for a bad heartache
And for me there's nothing smoother
Than a good stiff shot of Strait

It's gonna take a fireman to put this old flame out
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound
So come on give it to me Strait
Before I come unwound

Without me
Maybe you'd find somebody else
A little wiser
With a lot more wealth
And without you
It's true I'd be free
To go chasing all my dreams
Without any strings

But I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way

Hard times
May never let up on us
And maybe all we'll ever have
Will barely be enough
And babe you know
How cold the wind can blow
Love's never let us down
When we needed it the most

And I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way

Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Wouldn't want it any other way Any other way

Oh girl
You know I love you more each day
Any other way

I was standing
At the end of my rainbow
Nowhere to go
And no pot of gold in sight

All my wishes
Were just way too much to hope for
But when I saw you
I knew I'd seen the light

And not a moment too soon
Without a minute to spare
You touched my heart

I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind

All my friends call me Bear Claw
The Village Cheaftin' is my paw-paw
He gets his orders from my maw-maw
She makes him walk the line

You can find me in my wigwam
I'll be beatin' on my tom-tom
Pull out the pipe and smoke you some
Hey and pass it around

'Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind

I ain't lookin' for trouble
We can ride my pony double
Make your little heart bubble
Lord, Like a glass of wine

I remember the medicine man
He caught runnin' water in my hands
Drug me around by my headband
Said I wasn't her kind

Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind

I can kill a deer or buffalo
With just my arrow and my hickory bow
>From a hundred yards don't you know
I do it all the time

They all gather 'round my teepee
Late at night tryin' to catch a peek at me
In nothin' but my buffalo briefs
I got 'em standin' in line

Cause I'm an Indian outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
My baby she's a Chippewa
She's one of a kind

Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die

Last Monday mornin' you left with no warnin'
I started goin' insane
Well I headed South out of Del Rio, Texas
With a hell of a load on my brain
I kept on goin' without even knowin'
How much your love really means
Now I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

I'm down here in Mexico
Sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

This picture ain't pretty
I'm ragged and dirty
And wonderin' what I'm doin' here
Shootin' tequila
Wantin' to kill ya
And wishin' to God you were near

So full of your memory
But feelin' so empty
I've run out of my self-esteem
Now I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

I'm down here in Mexico
Sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

I'm down here in Mexico
Sick as a dog
My head is poundin' in this border town fog
Down to my last dime and comin' apart at the seams
I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

Oh, I'm messed up in Mexico
Livin' on refried dreams

Well its been rainin' on and on
Ever since you've been gone
Those dark clouds keep rollin' in
And every time I think I might catch myself a glimpse of sunlight
The bottom falls out again
Well I can barely keep afloat
I'm up the creek without a boat
And I've been adriftin' Heaven knows how long
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone

Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 night since you've been gone

Aw listen to me now
I keep starin' out the window
Searchin' for a rainbow
To signal that the storm will end
Hey, 'cause I know that the rain'll keep pourin' on the pane
Until my saint comes back marchin' in
Oh, girl its been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause it's been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone
Hey, well drip drip drip goes the sound of the rain
The four winds are blowin' like a hurricane
My friends said I should settle for any port in a storm
I'd rather be inside your lovin' arms
Safe and warm
Girl it's been a long time since I've seen sunshine
Baby won't you come back home
'Cause its been rainin' 40 days and 40 night since you've been gone
Yeah its been rainin' 40 days and 40 nights since you've been gone

I popped the clutch on that old red Ford
Her daddy would holler and run to the door
Dust would fly as we flew down
That old gravel driveway
And lookin' back I can't believe
He let her run with a boy like me He said You better get her back by ten or there'll be hell to pay
I can still feel her lips on mine
It's all so real
But lost in time

Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free
We were rebels chasin' time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends

Saturday nights we could all be found
Radios up and our windows rolled down
Hearts on fire and holdin' hands
Sights set on forever
We never thought those days would end
We'd never be the same again
Summer would be the last time we would ever be together
I never knew I'd wake up some day
In a brand new world so far away

Ain't that just like a dream
Runnin' wild and runnin' free
We were rebels chasin' time against the wind
Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends

Sometimes I long for just one night
Of the way I felt back then
But ain't that just like a dream
It always ends

Ain't that just like a dream
It always ends
