Hi ho Silver, AWAY!
After my show, thought I'd have a little fun.
Hopped on a horse: Shorty sure could run.
Well, I got a butt kickin, when the police finally caught me.
("Give me back my horse!!!")
Not a moment too soon, Tim McGraw jumped in.
Did his best Jackie Chan, caught a cop on the chin.
Now I don't understand why they's arrestin' me,

My cellmate thinks I'm sexy, I really turn him on.
He's always staring at me, oh, when the guards are gone.
I'm runnin out of cigarettes; he's askin me to dance.
He says I'm lookin good in these orange pants.
I really wish Tim McGraw was here to protect me.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.

I'd give anything to be back on my bus.
I'm hidin' in my bunk, but he's climbin' on up.
Swears all he wants me to do is sing him one of my songs.
Says he's got a dream: I'm afraid of what it is.
You're never gonna see me on a horse after this.
I only get one call. I hope that Faith is home.

My cellmate thinks I'm sexy, he just won't leave me alone.
He's blowin' kisses at me, and I'm a'duckin' em all.
I hate to break it to him, I'm in no mood for romance.
What part of no don't this fool understand?
I'm in big trouble if someone don't come and get me.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.

Well one day behind bars is long enough,
'Cos when I drop that show gold, man his eyes light up.

My cellmate thinks I,
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy, I really turn him on.
My name is Kenny Chesney, this ain't where I belong.
Me and Tim's in trouble, buddy, one thing is for sure,.
George Strait's gonna kick us off his George Strait tour.
I'd call Tracy Lawrence but he's in the next cell beside me.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.
My cellmate thinks I'm sexy.

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
not by myself, not alone.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

There only two things in life that make it worth livin'
That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Chorus:
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs
and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas
ain't nobody feelin' no pain

So baby let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high socitey you cry all day
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maby it's time we got back to the basics of love

Chorus:
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs
and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas
ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs
and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas
ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Be As You Are
(written by Kenny Chesney)

Man I could use a pina colada
A little bit of sun on my skin
A hammock, a book
Never gonna look back
Once my feet hit the sand

I've had it up to here with this rat race
Need a smile on my face

I wanna go where I can lighten up the load
Drive a little while on the rong side of the road
Get this layin low off to a flyin' start
Play my guitar in the caribbean sun
Hang with the locals at the quiet run
Where you can be a tourist, a beach bum or a star
And be as you are

Maybe I'll just hang around here
Go home later next year

I wanna stay down here lighten up the load
Drive a little while on the wrong side of the road
Get this layin low off to a flyin start
Play my guitar in the carribbean sun
Hang with the locals at the quiet run
Where you can be a tourist a beachbum, or a star
And be as you are.

Make a Miracle
(Frank J. Myers/Gary Baker/Jerry Williams)

There are children in the world today
That touch our lives in many ways
With just a little smile
Through their eyes, still believe in fairy tales
Wishes from a wishing well, prayers worth miracles
They give their hearts without a fear
They trust without a doubt
They teach us what true courage is all about

Take our hands and walk with us
Feel the strength we get from love
Dream that wishes do come true
And make a miracle
There is light in every heart
There is hope in every day
We have faith that we can overcome
And make a miracle

All it takes is a thimble full of love
And a reassuring hug to make a happy child
But the future depends on you and me
It's in giving we receive and in loving we are loved
There are roads that twist and turn
And mountains that stand tall
But an ounce of faith can make a mountain fall

Repeat Chorus

No the world is not a perfect place
But there's good behind every face
It's time to pull together
Love each other all around the world

(Children's Chorus)
Take our hands,
Walk with us,
Share our dreams

There is light in every heart, there is hope in every day
We can have faith that we can overcome
And make a miracle

Make a miracle
Make a miracle

There's so many things
I didn't say
And even though
It may be too late
I want you to know
I still love you so
Every car I meet
Looks like your car
Every movie I see
You play the leading part
You're on my mind
Can't leave you behind

When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes

In my mind I know
You're far away
But here in my heart
Nothing has changed
I'm still holdin' you
Like I used to
On a busy street
In a crowded room
Wherever I go
It's just me and you
Together again
Girl it never ends

When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes

You're always there
When I close my eyes

The postman delivered
A "past due" bill notice
The alarm clock rang two hours late
The garbage man left all the trash
On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off of the gate

And this morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
And I opened the door on my knee
But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

Last night you came home late
And I knew you'd been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
I thought, "It don't matter
'Cause it's the holiday season"
And you fill such a big empty space

But then I laid down beside you
And I wanted your lovin'
Because your love makes my life complete
But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

So excuse me for lookin'
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for lookin'
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for livin'
And being forgiving
So just go on if you want to be free

But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

(Mac McAnally)

[released May 16,2000

In the town where I was raised
The clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with Amazing Grace
Back where I come from
Now you can lie on a riverbank
Paint your name on a water tank
Or miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I`ll be when it`s said and done
I`m proud as anyone
Back where I come from

We learned in Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine, too
Back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad day light
TV`s, they were black and white
Back where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I`ll be when it`s said and done
I`m proud as anyone
Back where I come from

Some say it`s a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow way
I make it a point to say
That that`s where I come from

That`s where I come from
Where I`ll be when it`s said and done
I`m proud as anyone
That`s where I come from
Back where I come from
I`m an old Tennessean
And I`m proud as anyone
That`s where I come from
That`s where I come from
That`s where I come from

I had a hundred dollar ring in my hand
So weak and tired i could barely stand
From being up all night, prayin` she`d say yes
So with a hopeful heart i hit one knee
With a tear in her eye she looked at me
It was the moment of truth, i was scared to death
My life hung on what that tear meant
Then she smiled at me
And I lost it

No one can make me cry
Make me laugh
Make me smile
Or drive me mad like she does
It`s like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing`s for sure
It`s real love and I don`t know what I`d do
If I lost it

Well the honeymoon ended and life began
Jobs and bills, losing touch with friends
And that apartment got smaller every day
Then one night the walls finally closed in
I came home late, she said where`ve ya been
You used to call and tell me you`re on your way
She said if this is how it`s gonna be, then I quit
She walked out the door
I lost it

No one can make me cry
Make me laugh
Make me smile
Or drive me mad like she does
It`s like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing`s for sure
It`s real love and I don`t know what I`d do
If I lost it

I picked myself up off the floor
She walked back through the door
And we made love like it was the first time

No one can make me cry
Make me laugh
Make me smile
Or drive me mad like she does
It`s like a curse that is the cure
Better or worse, one thing`s for sure
It`s real love and I don`t know what I`d do
If I lost it

Oh, if I lost it
I don`t wanna lose it

Words Are Your Wheels
(Phil Vassar/Julie Woods)

[Also featuring Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, and Brooks and
Dunn]

Phil: A little boy eight years old
In a semi-circle, eyes aglow
Our teacher told us stories every day
Kenny: Huck Finn on the Mississippi
Fire breathin' dragons
With my friends with me
From our homeroom to the Milky Way
We were lost among the pages
And in the voice of Mrs.Davis, she said

Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Phil: Where you can laugh or you can cry
And let your imagination fly
Let it lead you where it will
Sara: Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels

Phil There's an old man with all he's done
In his 98 laps around the sun
Somehow he never learned to read or write
B&D: And there's a kind soul who's had the pleasure
Of helping him tie the words together
It's never too late to change a life
Now there's a smile on his face
And there's a young heart standing in his place

Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Where you can laugh or you can cry
Let your imagination fly
Let it lead you where it will
Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels

Martina:Don't need a rocketship, no red balloon to take a trip
The pages on your fingertips alone
Will take you where you want to go
Phil: Words are you wheels

Words are your wheels
To take you anywhere you feel
Where you can laugh and you can cry
Let your imagination fly
Let it take you where it will
Sara: Your mind is an automobile
And words are your wheels

Phil: Words are you wheels
Sara: Words are you wheels
Phil: Words are your wheels
Sara: Oh,words are your wheels

Well, I've been drawing little hearts in the morning paper
Lookin' for a house an' a couple of acres
You'll be mine some time, sooner or later and I can't wait

Like a busy ol' bee savin' up it's honey
Honey I'm savin' up all my money
To have you I'll do anything I have to,
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
I'll tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard
out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

Well I've been yellin' your name from a lookout mountain
Tossing my pennies in a downtown fountain
Makin' my wishes I'm hopin' they're countin' for loves sake
I'll swim upstream in a ragin' river
Walk through fire til you get the picture
I swear I'll bare anything to get there
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
I'll tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard
out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
Yeah I'll tell the world I'm yours,
put it on a billboard out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes
Well if it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

License to Chill
(by Mac McAnally)
Sung By :Jimmy Buffett & Kenny Chesney

(Jimmy Buffett)

Work, work, work
Big pile of it and the boss is a jerk.
I just want to disappear
Wishin' I was somewhere other than here.

Livin' for the weekend,
Jumpin' off the deep end,
With just enough money to buy
A license to chill
And I believe I will

Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until
Trouble turns funny, songs get sung
A little bit of money, the night's still young
Leave me alone I've got a license,
A license to chill

(Kenny Chesney)

Girls, girls, girls
Ain't nothin' like them in the whole wide world.
So damn smart and cute,
And it's amazing what they pass off as a bathing suit.
Winners and losers
Sailors and cruisers
We're all qualified, for a license to chill
And I believe I will

Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until
Trouble turns funny, songs get sung
A little bit of money, the night's still young
Leave me alone I've got a license,
A license to chill

(Jimmy and Kenny)

License to chill
And I believe I will
Let the rat race run, roll around in the sun until
Trouble turns funny, songs get sung
One good song will last all night long
Leave me alone I've got a license,
A license to chill

A license to chill

(Jimmy spoken)

Ramos go rent me a coupe deville
Hey KL, where's that barbecue grill
Head on down to Margaritaville
Have me a cheeseburger with a big pickle dill
Jesus, I sound kinda mentally ill
I guess I better go turn on Dr Phil

Sung By :Jimmy Buffett,Kenny Chesney,Clint Black.George Strait,Toby Keith, & Alan Jackson

The days seem so familiar
There's something about the evenings
Even though they change every now and then

(Kenny Chesney):
Well I can be myself here
I can free myself here
I can't believe it's last night again

I see things go down
I hear the talk of the town
Like an echo in my ear
If you should look for me
I'll be right here
I can leave myself here
Or I could use some help here
I can't believe it's last night again

(K.C.):
It's a lonesome sound when this bar shuts down
So I guess I'll have one more
Nothin' out there I ain't seen before

I can leave myself here
I could use some help here
I can't believe it's last night again
I can't believe it's last night again
I can't believe it's last night again

Back To Top

She’s got every quality
From A all the way to Z
It’s easy to see she’s the perfect girl

She’s got every single thing
That makes up my wildest dreams
Somtimes I still can’t quite believe she’s holding me 'cause

She’s got it all my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love my hugs my kisses
Everything that means anything at all
All my life I been hopin’
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all

You know that I admit
Someone to love like this
Only existed in my prayers
Until I saw her face
I knew I found the place
Where I could keep every faith eternally 'cause

She’s got it all my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love my hugs my kisses
Everything that means anything at all
All my life I been hopin’
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all

She’s got it all my heart my soul my wishes
All of my love my hugs my kisses
Everything that means anything at all
All my life I been hopin’
I could give someone such devotion
Every sweet memory I can recall
She got it all

No I ain't had nothing to drink
I knew thats probably what you'd think
If I dropped by this time of night
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in
At one of those meetings down at the Y

Well, they started talkin bout steps you take
Mistakes you make
The hearts you break
And the price you pay
I almost walked away

You could hear a pin drop
When this old man
Stood up and said I'm gonna' say it again
Like I do every week
For those who don't know me

It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here

This ole boy stood up in the aisle
Said he'd been living a life of denial
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
I couldn't believe what I heard
It was my life word for word
And all of the sudden it was clear

It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here

I know for us it may be too late
But it would mean the world to me
If you were there when I stand to say
It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here

(Mac McAnally) (ASCAP) Original version from the BNA Records releases, Me and You

All he could think about was I'm too young for this
Got my whole life ahead
hell I'm just a kid myself
how I'm gonna raise one

All he could see were his dreams going up in smoke
So much for ditching this town and hanging out on the coast
Oh well, those plans are long gone

And he said
there goes my life
there goes my future, my everything
might as well kiss it all good-bye
there goes my life.......

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator
Oh yeah..........he loves that little girl.

Momma's waiting to tuck her in
as she fumbles up those stairs
she smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear
sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls

He smiles
there goes my life
there goes my future my everything
I love you, daddy goodnight
there goes my life

She had that Honda loaded down
with Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American express
he checked the oil and slammed the hood, said your good to go
she hugged them both and headed off to the west coast

And he cried
there goes my life
there goes my future, my everything
I love you
baby good-bye
