Sloppy Drunks

No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Fall on your face and your hand goes clunk
Days spin around, threw up in your bunk
No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Nobody likes sloppy drunks

My uncle he came over Christmas night
And he ate up all our food
That wouldn�t be so bad
But then he went and drank up all the booze
He went and cussed my papa
Now that was downright rude
You get liquered up in my house son
I�m gunna have to read you the news

No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Fall on your face and your hand goes clunk
Days spin around, threw up in your bunk
No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Nobody like sloppy drunks

I was down at the Round-Up bar one night
And was getting on about two
Seen this cowboy he was arm in arm
With my ole� friend Betty Lou
He ordered up a round of drinks
He was acting up a fool
He was drippin� up on her dress
And a hatin� on her too
Nothin� gets me more riled up
Than a cowboy actin� rude
So I grabbed him up by the scruff of the neck
And yes I read that boy the news

No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Fall on your face and your hand goes clunk
Days spin around, threw up in your bunk
No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Nobody like sloppy drunks

�Read that boy the news�
YEEEEEEEEHAW
C�mon now go get em�
Yeah I know you don�t like em� neither
Ain�t that the truth

C�mon
No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Fall on your face and your hand goes clunk
Days spin around, threw up in your bunk
No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Nobody like sloppy drunks

C�mon now
No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Fall on your face and your hand goes clunk
Days spin around, threw up in your bunk
No one likes a sloppy drunk
Stinkin� up the room like a stinky skunk
Nobody like sloppy drunks

Railroad Blues

�All Aboard, Track 17, All Aboard�

Now this song is dedicated, to all the hard workin� pioneers of this country, setting out discovering the West, bringin� a railroad to where no man has ever been before.

Johnny he worked on a railroad
A poundin� on iron and steel
Workin� his way out West now
The only sure things his next meal

America was young
But she was a growin�
Layin� tracks across the prairie
Not knowing where they�re going
His mother didn�t wanna leave him
But now he�s in the West
She said �please don�t go�
But he said �if I don�t I�ll never rest�
It wasn�t always easy
Some of the boys died
Johnny wrote her letters
But received no replies

Johnny he worked on a railroad
A poundin� on iron and steel
Workin� his way out West now
The only sure things his next meal

Johhny reached San Francisco
Tired and broke without a dime
Started panning for gold
Just a hopin� he would find
The gold wasn�t a rushin� but Johnny kept on minin�
Trying to send his mama something with the letters he was signing
Then one day Johnny finally got a reply
When he opened mama�s letter
He began to cry
She�s a writin� from her deathbed
And this is what she said
�please don�t be mad at me son, cause tomorrow ill be dead�

Johnny he worked on a railroad
A poundin� on iron and steel
Workin� his way out West now
The only sure things his next meal

We Can Do This

Now listen her lady
Got something to tell ya
I�m out on the road
And I�m going nowhere
Look and you�ll find �look and you�ll find�
Some a piece a mind �piece of mind�
I�ve been a chewin� and boozin�
Playin� my music
Seems all my life
I�ve been looking� for something
But I am blind �I am blind�
Cannot see the sign �see the sign�
Turn my back on yer� lovin�
Cause I wasn�t thinking
Your gunna burn me
And leave me a broken heart
And high and dry �high and dry�
I cannot tell a lie �tell a lie�
Whats the point in
Playin these games
When we could be lovin�
And holdin� each other
A hand in hand �hand in hand�
All we needs a plan �needs a plan�

We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love
We can do this if we try
Reach the stars and heavens above
We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love
Oh Darlin� now please don�t you cry
Reach the stars and heavens above

Now listen hear lady
I�m out for a while
Things are changin�
Since I�ve been around
I�ve been playin� the fool �playin� the fool�
I�ll give your lovin� too �lovin� too�
Now I was born
A travelling man
America is
A beautiful land
And I�m on the road �on the road�
Just a pulling my load �he�s pulling his load�
I�ve been beggin�
Done me no wrong
Livin� this lifestyle
A bit to long
And that�s a all alone �all alone�
Goin� show to show �show to show�
One last time
A second chance
It�s not to late
For a little romance
I just a need you �I need you�
A tell me what to do �what to do�

We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love
We can do this if we try
Reach the stars and heavens above
We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love
Oh Darlin� now please don�t cry
Reach the stars and heavens above

Darl�, c�mon darl
I know what cha thinkin�
I know I got some things right
And I got some things wrong
But you know ever since I was born
Country music�s all I�ve known
And the road has been my life
Drinkin� whisky and playin� music
That was always my wife

We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love
We can do this if we try
Reach the stars and heavens above
We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love
Oh Darlin� now please don�t cry
Reach the stars and heavens above

Country Delight

Well, I am country mike
And I�d like to say hello
To the black the white
The red and the green, the purple and yellow
But first I gotta, bang-bang, stomp my boots
Movin� to the country beat
Cat fish and corn bread is what I love to eat
But so far you heard my voice
Guess it ain�t no riddle

Right now gunna introduce my man slim on the fiddle
C�mon now boys
Well, ranch house, barnyard, at the rodeo
Ranch house feel lot catchin� up, C�mon now do-say-do
Said co-u-n-t-r-y to all the peoples delight
I go by the unforgettable name, by the man they call me country mike
My name is known all over the world
By the city
I�m going down in history
As the baddast cowboy there ever could be
Got Greg on the bass
Slim on the fiddle
Got the down whole music can you punch to the middle

Just throw your hands up in the air
While you dance in the place shake you derry air
Say �Yeehaw�
�Yeehaw�
Say �Yeehaw� c�mon ,
�Yeehaw�

Don't Let The Air Out My Tire

Yeah, this is dedicated to all you backstabbing fools out there, there�s gunna be hell to pay I catch on with you, you think I don�t know?, I know what your up to. Damn pretty boys.

Don�t let the air out of my tires,
�Woo Hoo�
Don�t like the feelin�, you liars
�Woo Hoo�
I�m not the type, turn a blind eye
When you�re asleep, I�m gunna catch you guy

Go faster boy you got something to say
Talk is cheap, yours ain�t worth a dime
Eyes in the back of my head, and ears for miles
Don�t play the piper with your lying smile

You tried to knock the train off the tracks
I shook my head
Four days in a row and that my tires is flat
Pity that fool and I�m a trap that rat
When I catch that pretty boy, see what I�m gunna do
I�m gunna catch him on my pick-up truck and make him pay his due

Don�t let the air out of my tires,
�Woo Hoo�
Don�t like the feelin�, you liars
�Woo Hoo�
I�m not the type, turn a blind eye
When you�re asleep, I�m gunna catch you guy

Mess with me like something you never had
Like a buckin� bull when I get mad
Meddle with my truck and you get high
Mess with me your gunna pay the price
�I ain�t that nice�

Don�t let the air out of my tires,
�Woo Hoo�
Don�t like the feelin�, you liars
�Woo Hoo�

When you�re asleep, I�m gunna catch you guy

One more time now boys

�Woo Hoo�
Don�t like the feelin�, you liars
�Woo Hoo�

When you�re asleep, I�m gunna catch you guy



Try but then
You never really can
Repair what hurts inside
You still remember when
The good times rolled
And you still had your pride
Just when you think
You got your lesson learned
You go and fall in love
And you get burned

How do you mend an achin� heart
When theirs to many holes to fill
And of our lonely day
Tilt both hands and drink
In the old river spill

___ is the passion
In the heat of the night
Couldn�t see nothin�
Now I can�t stand the sight
Wasn�t even lookin�
When you came along
Seems like just yesterday
When I sang your song
They don�t make no blue
Kinda tape I need
Nothings gunna stop
This old heart bleed
How do we mend achin� hearts been so many years
Guess I go to the riverbed
Just drown myself in tears

How do you mend an achin� heart
When theirs to many holes to fill
Follow the dam
To both hands and drink
When the ole� river spills

One Song A Night

Ain�t need no one a tell me what to do
I wrote this special song from me to you
I ain�t got no time to mess around
Put a smile on your face and lose that frown
Put a little country in your heart
That will give you a fresh start
Cause for me writin� songs just ain�t that hard
Just readin� you the news with my guitar

I write one song a night
I say one song a night
It makes me feel good the next morning
Feel good my whole life
I write one song a night
I say one song a night
Music is my lady
And my guitar is my life

Without Country Mike what would you do
You need my songs like I need you
Everyone has got their special place
If yours ain�t country get out my face
Take a man out the country can�t you see
But keep those city slicking hands of a me
A day just ain�t a day without a song
I�ll be a hootin� and a hootin� and a hollering all night long
A-ha

I write one song a night
I say one song a night
Feel good the next morning
Feel good my whole life
I write one song a night
I say one song a night
Cause music is my lady
And my guitar is my wife

Country Christmas

Now I�d like to thank the lord Jesus Christ, for helping my family gather round here today, and putting all this great food on our table, and I just hope he�s as generous to all the other fine country families out there, on this special day.

We�re havin� a country Christmas
I hope you have one too
Santa Claus is bakin� biscuits
What did he bake for you?
Daddy�s got the fire a blazin�
It�s such a fine sight to see
Now all the cowhands are amazin�
And Santa left a gift for me

It�s a country, country Christmas
People are gathered around
Country, country Christmas
Baby Jesus is in town

Santa gave daddy some whiskey
An iron whats he gave to my mum
I promise ole� Kris Cringle
I write a song a night on my guitar
Turkey with all the fixings
Thank the lord for all a my food
For the wise men and the manger
To this game I�ll always stay true

Well it�s a country, country Christmas
Sleigh bells and reindeers
Country, country Christmas
Tis� good ole� family cheer

Kenny Jones (Country Knows Best)

This is a song bout an old country singer friend of mine
His name is Kenny Jones
He was a small town legend from Tennessee
He went in search of the big city, some dreams he was lookin� for
But things kinda got of track a bit
But of course you know, he�s always welcome back
Right here to Tennessee

Kenny Jones grew up in a little Tennessee town
When he played the guitar, all the people gathered round
Been playin� country music, since the day that Kenny was born
When he left the Tennessee town, with these words to Kenny I did worn

This is what I said
�Who knows all?,
Who knows best?,
Whether you�re in the East,
You�re in the West,
Go get cha cowboy boots,
And your special vest,
Cause country music knows the best�

Kenny left the grand ole� ___, lookin� for fortune and fame
Packed his bags off to Hollywood, tryin� to make himself a name
Bright lights, big city, and Kenny�s lookin� for a head
Tryin� to make some money, but Kenny ain�t makin� shit
Well he turned his back on country, now Kenny�s playin� rock n� roll
Didn�t look where he�s goin�, and Kenny fell into a hole
City�s like a railroad car, then it went off track
Now he�s comin� home to Nashville, where Kenny�s always welcome back

And this is what we say
�Who knows all?,
Who knows best?,
Whether you�re in the East,
You�re in the West,
Go get cha cowboy boots,
And your special vest,
Cause country music knows.......�

On Your Way Up Again (The Fowl Song)

My pappa done told me
Don�t put all your eggs in one basket
My pappa done told me
Don�t put all your eggs in one basket
Cause you might be counting your chickens before they hatch
Which brings us to the question
Why did the chicken cross the road?
If I knew that
I�d know why a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Now we all wanna be free like an eagle
But we also know what its like when someone flies the coop
But I think that�s a real birds eye view on the situation

Once around the corner
Once around the bend
When you�re on your way up again
Go and tell the grocer
Go and tell your friend
When you�re on your way up again

Now you see the people on the way up
Same people on the way down
When you hit rock bottom
Only way you can go is up
Now we all know it�s real lonely at the top
So don�t bite the hand that feeds ya
Cause you just might get burned
Patience is a virtue
So you best wait you�re turn

Once around the corner
Once around the bend
When you�re on your way up again
Go and tell the grocer
Go and tell your friend
When you�re on your way up again

Do onto others
As you want done onto you
One hand watches the other
And you know that that ain�t true
Don�t get you�re foot in the door
Follow your own way
Don�t let the sixth sense fool you
It won�t go astray
When the shoe is on the other foot
And that is how it stands
One of these days I�m a take the law in my own damn hands

Once around the corner
Once around the bend
When you�re on your way up again
Go and tell the grocer
Go and tell your friend
When you�re on your way up again

And yes I�m pulling my load �he�s pulling his load�
We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love

We can do this if we try
Try hard enough to fall in love
Oh Darlin� now please don�t cry
We can do this if we try
We can do this if we try
We can do this if we try

The Half-Wit

Well Sally was a girl
She was the loneliest soul in grade school
Folks all thought she was a half-wit
But it�s just that, she just didn�t like to speak
