(Chorus)
Pop a top again
I\'ve just got time for one more round
Sit \'em up my friend
Then I\'ll be gone
And then you can let some other fool sit down
I\'d like for you\'d to listen to
A joke I heard today
From a woman who
Said she was through
And calmly walked away
I tried to smile
And did a while
But it felt so outta place
Did you ever hear of a clown with tearsdrops
Streammin\' down his face
(Chorus)
Home for me is misery
And here I am wasting time
\'Cause a row of fools
On a row of stools
Is not what\'s on my mind
But then you see
Her leaving me
Is not what I perfer
So it\'s either here just drinking beer
Or at home remembering her
(Chorus)

When the last breath of life
Is gone, from my body
And my lips are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather round
For my Farewell party
Won\'t you pretend you love me
(Chorus)
There l be flowers from those
Who\'ll cry when I go
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you\'ll have fun
At my Farewell party
I know you\'ll be glad when I\'m gone
Don\'t be mad at me
For wanting to keep you
\'Till my life on this old world is through
You\'ll be free at the end
Of my Farewell party
But I\'ll go away loving you
(Chorus)
Yes, I know you\'ll be glad when I\'m gone

Whenever a chance to meet
Some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I\'ve always got a smiling face
Anytime and anyplace
And every time they ask me why
I just smile and say
(Chorus)
You\'ve got to kiss angel good mornin\'
And let her know you think about her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin\'
And love her like the devil when you get back home
Now people may guess
The secret of happiness
But some of them never learn, it\'s a simple thing
The secret I\'m speaking of
Is a woman and a man in love
And the answer is in this song that I always sing
(Chorus)

A willing woman, a willing man
A five room house and a wedding band, believers, believers
Once it begins, you know it don\'t take long
\'Til you\'re like two people in a heartbreak song
And I wonder, I wonder
(Bridge)
Well ain\'t it just like a woman
Ain\'t it just like a man
Chasin\' a rainbow, looking for love
When it\'s right in the palm of your hand
When it\'s right in the palm of your hand
We can\'t take back those things we said
So we watch it pass in seperate beds, changing, we\'re changing
Too little love and too much pride
You won\'t give in and neither will I, like children, children
(Bridge) Feet on the floor, holding my head
Sitting alone on the edge of the bed, I\'ve been thinking, thinking
Trying to find where we went wrong
I just turned around and you were gone, it\'s over, it\'s over
(Bridge)

(Hank Williams)
He\'s just a singer,
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
He\'s not a walk-behinder,
He\'s a new note finder
His name\'s a reminder
Of a blues man that\'s already gone
So he started drinkin\', took some things that messed up his thinkin\'
He was sure sinkin\' when she came along
He was born in the spot light, not to much left in sight
She changed all that one night
When she sang him this song
Hey baby, I love you, Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, you ain\'t got to prove to me
You\'re some kind of macho man
You\'ve wasted so much of your life
Runnin\' through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light
Down on the blues man
He got so sick of speedin\', all things they said he was needing
If he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over no shows
She came and took that old load
Down off of that blues man, and he sang
Hey baby, I love you too
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin\' band
I\'m over 40 years old now, nights would be so cold now
If you hadn\'t stuck it out
With this blues man
He\'s over 40 years old now, nights would be so cold now
If she hadn\'t hung around
With that blues man

Well I was sent to a place in North Carolina
To check up on a moonshine still
But when I got there, to my surprise
I could see a little light on the hill
Well the fire was glowin\', ready I was knowin\'
I was really hot on the track
But in D.C., they said it couldn\'t\' be
But I\'ll be the one to bring \'em back
(Chorus)
\'Cause I\'m a Revenooer man
Hey, I\'m a Revenooer man
I\'ve got a badge in my pocket and a gun on my hip
Damn moonshiners better never make a slip
\'Cause I\'m a Revenooer man
Yeah I\'ll get \'em if I can
Well the moon was shining bright as I looked down the river
I noticed on the side of the hill
I can see a red light that was glowin\' bright
I knew it had to be a still
Well the people down the road said it wasn\'t far
But I better know someone
\'Cause when the moonshiners know I carry a star
I\'ll bet my bottom dollar, I\'ll have \'em on the run
(Chorus)
Well when I got there, the woods were bare
They must\'ve known I was on my way
Well I heard the branches shatter, as they started to scatter
I heard two or three of \'em say
(2nd Chorus)
It\'s the revenooer man, It\'s Revenooer man
He\'s got a big .45 and loads to fill
Raggin\' and shaggin\' to another hill
It\'s the Revenooer man
And he\'ll get us if he can
Yeah, I\'m the Revenooer man
And I\'ll get \'em if I can...

(Chorus)
Cowboys and outlaws, right guys and south-paws
Good dogs and all kinds of cats
Dirt roads and white lines, and all kinds of stop signs
I\'ll stand right here where I\'m at
\'Cause I wear my own kind of hat
There\'s two kinds of lovers and two kinds of brothers
Two kinds of babies to hold
There\'s two kinds of cherries and two kinds of fairies
Two kinds of mothers I\'m told, I\'m told
(Chorus)
There\'s two kinds of brothers and two kinds of lovers
And two kinds of babies to hold
There\'s two kinds of cherries and two kinds of fairies
Two kinds of mothers I\'m told, I\'m told

(Chorus)
She just started liking cheatin\' songs
And what\'s bothering me
I don\'t know if it\'s the cheatin\' she likes
Or just the melody
I\'ve never had any reason to doubt her
As far as I know she\'s been true
But lately she\'s had a different look in her eyes
I wonder if she\'s seein\' somebody new
You can\'t blame a body for looking
And there\'s a world of people out there
But I hope she\'s not taking any closer looks
I tell ya lately, frankly I\'ve been scared
(Chorus)
I\'ve got to admit I do some looking too
But she\'s the only one I love
She still tells me she loves me
But I wonder if my love\'s enough
(Chorus)
Yeah, I don\'t know if it\'s the cheatin\' she likes
Or just the melody

Wish I were down, on some blue bayou
With a bamboo cane, stuck in the sand
But the road I\'m on, don\'t seem to go there
So I just dream, keep on being the way i am
Wish I enjoyed, what makes my living
And what I do, with a willing hand
Some would run, but that ain\'t like me
So, I just dream, keep on being the way I am
(Chorus)
The way I am, don\'t fit my shackles
The way I am, reality
I can almost see, that bobber dancin\'
So,I just dream, keep on being the way I am
(Chorus)
Yeah, I just dream, and keep on being the way I am

First I get cold, then hot
Think I\'m on fire, but I\'m not
Oh, what a pain I\'ve got
It must be love
There\'s nothin\' I can do
All that I want is you
Look what I\'m goin\' through
It must be love
(Chorus)
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, and fly like a dove
You must be the dream, I been dreamin\' of
Oh what a feelin\' it must be love
Something is wrong, alright
I think of you all night
Can\'t sleep \'til morning light
It must be love
Seeing you in my dreams
Holding you close to me
Oh, what else can it be
It must be love
(Chorus)

I\'m so glad to have you back within these arms of mine
I can finally go to sleep and get some rest
Never once did I think of finding someone new
\'Cause there\'s nothing better, once you\'ve had the best
You\'re the very thing they sing about in love songs
And one mistake don\'t mean you\'ve failed the test
As I lay beside you softly sleeping
This I know, there\'s nothing better, once you\'ve had the best
Within your arms, I\'ve had the best
And I think the world should know
I don\'t care what you\'ve said or done
I\'ll always love you so
You\'ve got more love in your little finger, than all the rest
And there\'s nothing better, once you\'ve had the best
No there\'s nothing better, once you\'ve had the best

(Jimmy Buffett)
Nibblin\' on sponge cake
Watchin\' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered in oil
Strummin\' my six string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp
Hey, they\'re beginning to boil
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin; for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim, that there\'s a woman to blame
But I know it\'s nobody\'s fault
I don\'t know the reason
Stayed here all season
Nothin\' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it\'s a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven\'t a clue
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin\' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there\'s a woman to blame
Now I think, must be Buffett\'s fault
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Broke my leg twice
I had to limp on back home
But there\'s booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on, hang on
Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my last shaker of salt
Some people claim, that there\'s a woman to blame
But I know, this is all Alan\'s fault
Yes, and some people claim that there\'s a woman to blame
But I know, it\'s our own damn faults
