IDLE HOUR

VERSE
There’s a place down the street 
Where my friends congregate
And when we sit on those bar stools
We’re not alone
10 am the lights are on
Beer’s cold, the whiskey’s strong
And we’re drowning those memories
One by one

CHORUS
You can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
If you’re tryin’ to hang on 
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home

VERSE
The neon lights are bright
Even tho it’s past midnight
And the band’s packed up and moved on
Stare at the clock on the wall
Bartender says last call
And I start missin’ her most of all

CHORUS
So, you can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
So if you’re tryin’ to hang on
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home
Too many reasons not to go back home

BEER CHASER

CHORUS

Bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man
And I ain’t stickin’ around
So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down

VERSE

We came out here together
Just about a year ago
I was playin’ guitar at a hotel bar
She was workin’ at the casino
Serving drinks to high rollers
Till one of them caught her eye
Now she’s gone an’ hit the bi0g jackpot
And I’ve gone an’ bought a ticket to fly

CHORUS

So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down
I know it might seem early
But I booked the first flight out of town
That baby of mine found another man
And I ain’t stickin’ around
So bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down

They’re ready to board at gate #4

I’m gonna be the last one on
But I’ll sleep it off on the plane
I’ll sleep it off on the plane

Bring me another beer chaser
Another Bloody Mary’s goin’ down

HIGHWAY CALL

VERSE
Don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall
I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall
And even this big Montana sky will feel too small when I hear that highway call

VERSE
I’ll just start lookin’ around the bend, it happens time and time again
Keep it friendly let’s be friends, don’t try to rope me in
And I’ll hang my hat on your wall, till I hear that highway call

CHORUS
Oh I think about the time that I’ve wasted,
Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way
But everytime the smoke cleared, time dried up those tears
And I saddled up and rode away…rode away…. ay ay 

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

CHORUS
Now I think about the times that I’ve wasted,
Lettin’ this old restless heart get in the way

So don’t try to tie me down, don’t hang my picture on the wall
I see that look in your eye, and you don’t have far to fall
Even this big Montana sky will feel too small, yah this big Montana sky’s gonna feel too small, when I hear that highway call, highway call.

FOOL # 1

CHORUS
Am I fool number 1
Or am I fool number 2
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number 1 fool?

VERSE
I spent so much time gettin’ hurt in this race
I don’t want to end up in second place

CHORUS
Am I fool number one
Or am I fool number two
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number one fool?

Instrumental break

VERSE
Set ‘em up Joe, and we’ll knock ‘em on down
To the potential number one fool in town

If you’re the queen of heartaches, Am I the number one fool?

DRIVIN’ HOME

VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere
So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around
And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home

VERSE
Sweet country music, on the radio
Playin’ all those old songs we used to know
Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago
When we took the back roads thru the country
When we’re drivin’ home

INSTRUMENTAL break

VERSE
Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by
Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and
Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home

VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour and gettin’ nowhere
So when you need to slow down, just turn this car around

Take the back roads thru the country
Take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home
Drivin’ home

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ

VERSEIt was early spring
Cherry blossoms were bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky 
Sally Ann took the hand 
Of Sir William Lewis
And fell in love as they danced to
The South Carolina Waltz

VERSE
He was a sailor
Who came from South Hampton
From a ship building family, though we never pried
Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis
And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz

CHORUS
We always knew 
That it was forever
Like the dawn of the rest of their lives
From that night on, they were always together
Side By Side

VERSE
It was late in the fall
When winter came callin’
And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis
And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride
But the autumn winds can be unforgiving
And from out of nowhere their boat capsized
And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis
And we found them together on the shore where they died

Short Instrumental break

Now it’s early spring
Cherry blossoms are bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky 
Sally Ann and her man
Are restin’ in peace 
While the wind sings and dances to 
The South Carolina Waltz
The South Carolina Waltz

Gotta keep on moving

Gotta find a way to get close to you

Help me keep on moving, gotta

stay on my feet if I wanna get close to you

I’m not bad at moving, when I gotta,

And I just don’t know what else to do

Gotta keep my head up, every

Now and then look up to the sky

Been so low I don’t recall what the 

Leaves on the trees look like

I’m doing my best,

But won’t you help me with the rest

Oh while I’m still breathing 

I’m moving fast

If you want me to stay

You gotta ask

If only I could love you

I would spend all night getting close to you

If only I could love you I would 

Be the one you could call yours

Oh it sounds so pretty, 

But if I don’t show you know I’m so unsure

Oh while I’m still breathing 

I’m moving fast

If you want me to stay 

You gotta ask

I won’t say it won’t work if you

Say you’ll do the same 

Hold myself still,

Stop

And get myself to stay

But every time I try

You just slip off to the side

And I keep moving

Oh while I’m still breathing 

I’m moving fast

If you want me to stay

You gotta ask x2

Gotta keep on moving

Gotta find a way to get close to you

Gotta keep my head up, every

IF YOU NEED ME

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll be here for you
Even tho right now you think
That guy has hung the moon
I wish you well in that high society
But if the new wears off of those satin sheets 
I’ll be here if you need me

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll still be around
Waiting right here on the other side of town
Where life is hard, but our love came easily
So, if the new wears off of those satin sheets
I’ll be here if you need me

I know you’ve wanted out of here so long 
Now here’s your chance go on and run
Just remember everything that shines 
Can fade away, dark clouds 
Can hide the sun un un un
