Honky-Tonk Somewhere lyrics - Garth Brooks
Help me, 911 operator, got a Friday night emergency
I need nursin' cause I'm hurtin' from a long week workin'
And I'm thirstin' for a remedy
I need a red-head, brunette, or blonde
Angel have mercy that will put me through intensive care
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
Hang on, don't hang up on me lady
Gotta take me to the promised land
Cause I'm dying to see something like a jukejoint jumpin'
To the thumpin' little five piece band
I need a red dirt n swingin'
Anything that's country
Karaoke, I don't care
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
There's gotta be a honky-tonk
Girl you gotta get me there
I've tried the phone at the road
Mapped Siri, where's the party at
That ain't got me anywhere
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
Last call, answer operater
I'm afraid I'm runnin' out of time
I know I sound broken but I just keep hopin'
for an open glowin' neon sign
Maybe this is crazy but I'm thinkin' baby
Maybe later you could meet me there
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
There's gotta be a honky-tonk
Girl you gotta get me there
I've tried the phone at the road
Mapped Siri, where's the party at
That ain't got me anywhere
There's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
Out there's gotta be a honky-tonk somewhere
Weekend lyrics - Garth Brooks
Well, sun up, means sundown somewhere
Wake up, I wanna take you out there
Let's go, wherever it's the weekend
'Cause, Lord knows, this world needs to unwind
So, let's show 'em how to have a good time
Let go baby, it's the weekend
From western Montana to south Louisiana
I even hear the doors are now open in Havana
It's the weekend all over the world
You know, they're snakin' the cabanas down in Savannah
I bet they're all laughing and loving in Vienna
It's the weekend all over the world
So, jump in, to good times and good love
With good friends you just can't get enough of
We're all in, baby, it's the weekend
You know, you're rocking in Atlanta, dancing in Guyana
I swear, I hear 'em singing in sweet home Alabama
It's the weekend all over the world
They're on the track in Indiana, they're chantin' in Siena
Here we are, you and me still in our pajamas
It's the weekend all over the world, weekend all over the world
Weekend all over the world
You know they're rockin' in Atlanta
Rollin' in Havana
Champaign-Urbana
Muncie, Indiana
Ask Me How I Know lyrics - Garth Brooks
You're stubborn as they come, you'll never settle down
You'll always be the one who doesn't stick around
You make all the rules, you're set in your ways
You gotta have your freedom, you gotta have your space
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
Ask me how I know
Go on and shake your head and tell me that I'm wrong
Say, "I'm just another fool and this is just another song"
But I know how you are 'cause I know how I am
And I'd give anything to go back and try again
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
Ask me how I know
And you best put this song on repeat
Maybe then you won't end up like me
Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
Start building up your walls and never let her get inside
You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
Ask me how I know
Ask me how I know
Cause man I know
Baby, Let's Lay Down And Dance lyrics - Garth Brooks
I get this feeling that I can't explain
Every time I see your face or hear your name
I just go crazy, thinking, baby, this may be my chance
What would you say to me if I said "Baby, let's lay down and dance"
I got to tell you, girl, you drive me wild
Every time I see you dance I see that smile
My world gets hazy and I'm moving like I'm in a trance
Whoa, I know it's crazy, but baby, let's lay down and dance
When it comes to love my heart is black and it's blue
Swore I was through with romance
But girl you're something and I'm counting on you
You're my brand new second chance
My friends all tell me that I'm not your kind
They say I better pray your love is blind
You got to save me, I'm a victim of your circumstance
Whoa, I know it's crazy, but baby, let's lay down and dance
When it comes to love my heart is black and it's blue
Swore I was through with romance
But girl you're something and I'm counting on you
You're my brand new second chance
I got to tell you, girl, you drive me wild
I've never known no one with quite your style
I'm going crazy, thinking, baby, this may be my chance
What would you say to me if I said "Baby, let's lay down and dance"
Girl, I know it's crazy, but baby, let's lay down and dance
He Really Loves You lyrics - Garth Brooks
Five o'clock traffic, all four lanes are down to a crawl
He's sitting there knowing that he's going nowhere at all
Then finally he sees the wreck
And says a prayer for whoever they are
Then everything changes the second he sees it's her car
He really loves you
And God knows it's true
And it's something he'd say
And he'd tell you each day
It was the way that He knew
But to some of us guys, you don't realize
How to say it is just not what we do
And it's so hard to see, but take it from me
He really loves you
Down on the shoulder, he's running as fast as he can
Dying to hold her, he's truly a desperate man
And he falls to his knees at the wreck
Up close it all looks so much worse
Same color, same model, but the car in the crash isn't hers
He really loves you
And God knows it's true
And it's something he'd say
And he'd tell you each day
It was the way that He knew
But to some of us guys, you don't realize
How to say it is just not what we do
And it's so hard to see, but take it from me
He really loves you
I come home tonight like everything is alright
But nothing's changed, but it's simply not true
Been there today, and you'd see the way
He really loves you
Pure Adrenaline lyrics - Garth Brooks
There's a storm that is coming
Everyone is running away
But you hear a different drummer drumming
You've waited your whole life for this one day
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Time to unleash the beast inside
Time to show the world what you are all about
Now, it's kickin' in, pure adrenaline
No one's ever been where you're standin'
Of the multitudes, God has chosen you
Time to dial it in, pure adrenaline
There's a long stretch of highway
And you know that's where they're makin' their move
You could pass on some forgotten byway
But you're young and you've got something to prove
Don't want to run, don't want to hide
Time to unleash the beast inside
Time to show them all what you are all about
Now, it's kickin' in, pure adrenaline
No one's ever been where you're standin'
Of the multitudes, God has chosen you
Time to dial it in, pure adrenaline
Time for lift off so you better be ready to dance
Fate's done pissed off
gonna kill you if you give him a chance
Now, it's kickin' in, pure adrenaline
No one's ever been where you're standin'
Of the multitudes, God has chosen you
Time to dial it in, pure adrenaline
Pure adrenaline, pure adrenaline, pure adrenaline
Time to dial it in
Pure adrenaline
Whiskey To Wine lyrics - Garth Brooks (feat. Trisha Yearwood)
Yeah she's nice, yeah she's pretty
And she's crazy about me
She's what every man's hoping to find
She's always a lady, and that's driving me crazy
'Cause after you it's like going
From whiskey to wine
Whiskey to wine
It's just not the same high
I miss the fire
The burning desire
We fought like we loved
And we loved all the time
We're no good together
But it's sure as hell better
Than going forever
From whiskey to wine
When I talk, he listens
He don't show up missing
He's patient, polite and refined
He's handsome, romantic
But the problem is damn it
That after you it's like going
From whiskey to wine
Whiskey to wine
It's just not the same high
I miss the fire
The burning desire
We fought like we loved
And we loved all the time
We're no good together
But it's sure as hell better
Than going forever
From whiskey to wine
It's probably best, we rejoin the rest
And try to have what they call a good time
And hope it's not showing, we're walking in knowing
That we're going from whiskey to wine
Bang! Bang! lyrics - Garth Brooks
She worked the window at the Desert Sands
Clyde was a dealer who was gifted with the sleight of hand
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their petty thieving and conniving ways
Would never get 'em to that beach house of their dreams someday
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
But every afternoon at four that armored car rolled to the door (like before)
Bang! Bang!
The doors swing open and the pick-up begins
Bang! Bang!
The guard knocks, she lets him in
Bang! Bang!
Two bangs of cash hit the floor
The guard asks her out, she turns him down and shows him the door (once more)
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
They must have run through it a thousand times
But something happened on the evening of their perfect crime
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
It seems the set up and the switch all play
But there's a problem when it gets down to the get away
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
So, to complete their master plan
They're gonna need a pick-up man (meet Jo-Ann)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It's four on Monday and the hustle begins
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The guard knocks, she lets him in
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bags of cash hit the floor
Clyde's hiding out, he swaps 'em out
The guard's out the door (they score)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Two big bags of money and they're both feeling light
She sees the guard is stopping, she knows when something's not right
When he turns to find he's standing face to face now with her
She says "how 'bout dinner Friday
And if you're good I'll let you have dessert"
Bang! Bang!
The guard is happy and he's gone in a flash
Bang! Bang!
She grabs Clyde and the cash
Bang! Bang!
They see Jo-Ann and jump in
They were last seen heading West and never heard from again
The end
Bang! Bang!
Amen
Bang! Bang!
Cowboys And Friends lyrics - Garth Brooks
My head is aching, and I'm late for work
There's a girl in the kitchen, and she's wearing my shirt
My buddies are home again, they're threatening to leave
Yes that beer on my nightstand will be breakfast for me
Cause that's how it goes with cowboys and friends
As soon as it's over, it all starts again
That's the way that it should be
Cause that's the way that it's been
Yeah the fun never ends, when the party begins
Cowboys and friends
I've been working all morning, just busting my back
And it's all for a foreman who doesn't know jack
My buddies keep talking, they say we're going out late
Guess that sleep that I'm wanting will just have to wait
Cause that's how it goes with cowboys and friends
As soon as it's over, it all starts again
That's the way that it should be
Cause that's the way that it's been
Yeah the fun never ends, when the party begins
Cowboys and friends
Yeah the party begins where this two lane road ends
Cowboys and friends
8teen lyrics - Garth Brooks
We took Ventura Highway to the Sunshine State
Where they raised their hands to Jesus as they passed the plate
Oh, and every day we spent there was Valentine's day
There's a new team, out in Queens, 8teen
And the girl made in Japan was made for me to hold
When Vincent lent an ear the night the thunder rolled
And the ride we took together was a rodeo
Big dreams, six strings, 8teen
And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
From the pearly gates of Heaven to the fiery sea
Know that each will teach of passage through the trinity
God's gift runneth 'ore my cup
Call it a blessing or you call it luck
It all adds up to 8teen
And we heard about the letters kept beside his bed
And how he never could forget her or the words she said
That will forever be enshrined and underlined in red
Such sad scenes, so pristine, 8teen
He rode that silver bullet 'cross the borderline
There beneath the maple leaf signed to the Nimbus 9
And the song he hummed that night moves me every time
Fourteen, and so green, 8teen
And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
From the pearly gates of Heaven to the fiery sea
Know that each will teach of passage through the trinity
God's gift runneth 'ore my cup
Call it a blessing or you call it luck
It all adds up to 8teen
Forever frozen now in time
The night the miracle occurred
They walked on water in my mind
JC and Uncle Herb
Though we never heard the words
It all adds up to 8teen
And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
From the pearly gates of Heaven to the fiery sea
Know that each will teach of passage through the trinity
God's gift runneth 'ore my cup
Call it a blessing or you call it luck
It all adds up to 8teen
SugarCane lyrics - Garth Brooks
She was a wide eyed child with a couple friends
Runnin' round in her daddy's bed
So they been looking for me up and down
Gets the word and it gotten around
I told her to come back in a couple years but
She started shaking and it came to tears
I could stand to see her pouty face
So I gave her just a little taste
Of Sugarcane, aw Sugarcane
It's like shootin' sugar straight to your brain
Sugarcane
Later on, here come mama
More assets, let's drama
Said her old man he was outta town
The queen was out to lose another crown
You should have seen the way she looked at me well
I said this sugar daddy wasn't free well
She had the money but no time to waste
And she came for more than just a taste
Of Sugarcane, aw Sugarcane
It's like jumping on a runaway train
Sugarcane, aw Sugarcane
Sugarcane...
Sugarcane...
Past midnight, pool party
Everybody getting kinda naughty
Everyone was up for getting down
Always bring enough to go around
The band was slamming and the bar was free
The girls were dancing with a guarantee
Started lining up around the place
Causing everybody had to have a taste
Of Sugarcane, aw Sugarcane
Keep dancing ladies, you'll make it rain
Sugarcane, aw Sugarcane
I'm Beginning To See The Light lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
(originally by Duke Ellington)
I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
Oh, I used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
I used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
Ugly Christmas Sweater lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
Downtown at an office party Christmas Eve
Shaking everybody's hand so I could leave
About to say, "I'd love to stay, but..." that was when
That pretty little girl from accounting walked in
Ho, Ho, Ho, there's really nothing better
Than a beautiful girl in an ugly Christmas sweater
Ho, Ho, Ho, and now I can't forget her
That beautiful girl in an ugly Christmas sweater
So, I made my way across the room so she might be
Happily accidentally standing next to me
I grabbed her hand and asked the band to make it swing
The boys jumped up and they started to sing
Ho, Ho, Ho, there's really nothing better
Than a beautiful girl in an ugly Christmas sweater
Ho, Ho, Ho, and now I can't forget her
That beautiful girl in an ugly Christmas sweater
Then the lights came way down low
When the band played something slow
And the next thing that you know
We were underneath the mistletoe
Singing Ho, Ho, Ho, and now we are together
That beautiful girl in an ugly Christmas sweater
Ho, Ho, Ho, and boys there's nothing better
Than a beautiful girl in an ugly Christmas sweater
A beautiful girl in an ugly Christmas Sweater
Santa Baby lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
(originally by Eartha Kitt)
Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl, Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear, Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot (a lot)
Been an angel all year, Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight, tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me too
Santa cutie, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone, Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year's Eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations, you receive
Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
Id ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations, you receive
Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
Marshmallow World lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
(originally by Bing Crosby)
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
All the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
So get out and push it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
Yeah, it's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
All the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
So get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
You're my sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
Merry Christmas Means I Love You lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
It's that time of year again
That we spend with family and with friends
Good tidings we send
Of love without end
Amen
Lately we fight instead
On just how the tidings should be spread
We lightly tread
On words that are said or read
But if love is the gift that you're giving
Whatever you call it is cool
No matter what your nation or god
So happy holidays, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Yule
Season's best, Feliz Navidad
Merry Christmas, when I say
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas means I love you
So this year I'm hoping for
A gift that you can't get from the store
To love and adore like never before and more
So maybe this holiday
When someone you don't know comes your way
Whatever you say to honor the day is ok
'Cause if love is the gift that you're giving
Whatever you call it is cool
No matter what your nation or god
So happy holidays, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule
Season's best, Feliz Navidad
Merry Christmas, when I say
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas means I love you
Merry Christmas, when I say
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas means I love you
Hard Candy Christmas lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
(originally by Dolly Parton)
Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
They'll all lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let sorrow bring me way down
Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone and make him mine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let sorrow bring me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let sorrow bring me way down
'Cause I'll be fine, ooh
Baby, It's Cold Outside lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood)
I really can't stay (but, baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way (but, baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful, please don't hurry)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (but, baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (oh, baby, don't hold out)
Ah but it's cold outside (baby, it's cold outside)
I simply must go (but, baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but, baby, it's cold outside)
This welcome has been (how lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (look out that window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh, your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (gosh, your lips are delicious)
Well, maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I've got to get home (but, baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me your coat (it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I'm thrilled when you touch my hand)
But don't you see (how can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died)
I really can't stay (can't get over that hold out)
Ah, but it's cold outside (ah, but it's cold outside)
Baby it's cold outside
The Man With The Bag lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood) (originally by Kay Starr)
Old Mr. Kringle is soon gonna jingle
The bells that'll tingle all your troubles away
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
He's got a sleigh full, it's not gonna stay full
Stuff that he's droppin' every stop of the way
Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
He'll be here
With the answer to the prayers that you made through the year
You'll get yours
If you've done everything you should, extra special good
He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waitin' for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
He'll be here
With the answer to the prayers that you made through the year
You'll get yours
If you've done everything you should, extra special good
He'll make this December the one you'll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody's waitin,' they're all congregating
Waitin' for the man with the bag
Better watch out now!
What I'm Thankful For (The Thanksgiving Song) lyrics - Garth Brooks (with Trisha Yearwood) (feat. James Taylor)
What I'm thankful for ain't on no list
For it only in my heart exists
For time has helped me understand
The things I can't hold in my hand
For those that came before my turn
Oh, from whom I've gathered lessons learned
That light the path that lies ahead
I see them as I bow my head
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for
For our children hear this prayer
Let love surround them everywhere
And may their children's children know
The one from whom all blessings flow
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for
And amidst these gifts and presents
We receive this holiday
May we take a thoughtful second
Just to fold our hands and pray
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is so much more
These are the things I'm thankful for
Man Against Machine lyrics - Garth Brooks
Papa
They're waiting just outside my door
This is where I make my stand
'Cause I can't stand it anymore
Papa
They have no heart and soul
But make no doubt about it
They're the ones that's in control
So prepare yourself for a war unlike you've ever seen
This is man against machine
(Work, work, work)
Day in, day out
Bust your back and turn it out
Next morning do it all again
Hard job or two
So your children won't have to
That's just the way it's always been
But lately I swear the machines
Are living the American dream
Careful calculations
Details drawn down to design
Is it really for the better or a better bottom line?
Don't know me from Adam
Man it's rotten to the core
It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before
John Henry's about to show honesty
In this war of man against the machine
(Work, work, work)
Up early up hills
Spend your youth to pay the bills
Each generation makes a trade
Top Floor brass tax
Holds the hand that holds the ax
Acts like my dues have not been paid
But pay attention now when I say
Formation isn't happening today
Careful calculations
Details drawn down to design
Is it really for the better or a better bottom line?
Don't know me from Adam
Man it's rotten to the core
It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before
John Henry's about to blow off some steam
In this war of man against the machine
(Work, work, work)
Papa
The power's out the machines are down
In this world of darkness
I can still hear a sound
Papa
That sound tells us apart
'Cause I'm a machine myself
But I'm one with a working heart
Careful calculations
Details drawn down to design
Is it really for the better or a better bottom line?
Don't know me from Adam
Man it's rotten to the core
It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before
The gloves are off, no love lost between
In this war of man against the machine
Work
Work
Work
She's Tired Of Boys lyrics - Garth Brooks
She walked onto the jobsite
We damn near died
She was a young man's dream
Full of college and pride
And I called her a kid
And I guess it made her mad
She said don't call me kid pops and I won't call you Dad
I guess you could say we hit it off right from the start
That much difference in age it ain't a question of hot
One day after work
While she was waiting outside
Said we got to talk
So we went for a ride
She said I'm tired of boys
I'm tired of first dates
And I'm tired of toys
I want a lover who will understand
Someone who will touch me with a knowing hand
I am tired of feeling emptiness inside
I want to be the one left satisfied
I looked around and now I've made my choice
I'm tired of big talk and I'm tired of noise
I'm tired of boys
Well I sat there for a moment
And I took a deep breath
I told her I was flattered
But most of all I was scared to death
I bet we talked for hours
Bout the demons that we dread
Then we went back to her place and put our fears to rest
Well the boys still talk about her
Though she has moved on down the line
They just can't figure out why she's in town from time to time
They bet she's got a lover
I never say a word
I just smile and keep my head down and bless the day I heard
She said I'm tired of boys
I'm tired of first dates
And I'm tired of toys
I want a lover who will understand
Someone who will touch me with a knowing hand
I am tired of feeling emptiness inside
I want to be the one left satisfied
I looked around and now I've made my choice
I'm tired of big talk and I'm tired of noise
I'm tired of boys [x3]
Cold Like That lyrics - Garth Brooks
Yeah, the high road's a little too high to take
I wanna walk a mile the easy way
Wanna take a page from your guiltless book
Wanna let myself off the hook today
Let my conscience have a break
[Chorus:]
I wish I could be cold like that, then it wouldn't hurt so bad
I could be the train for a change you could be the one tied to the track
Baby, wouldn't it be nice just to just plow through life
Fall in love, cause a crash, walk away without a scratch and crush hearts like ice
I wish I could be cold like that, so cold like that
Yeah, you burn so hot 'til you get what you want
Guess you got what you wanted
Then your love just stopped and the temperature dropped
Like your heart was haunted
[Chorus:]
I wish I could be cold like that, then it wouldn't hurt so bad
I could be the train for a change you could be the one tied to the track
Baby, wouldn't it be nice just to just plow through life
Fall in love, cause a crash, walk away without a scratch and crush hearts like ice
I wish I could be cold like that, so cold like that, so cold like that
I wish I could get off on a goodbye
Be the bad guy on the other side of the tears, of the tears
I wish I could be cold like that, so cold like that
I could be the train for a change you could be the one tied to the track
Baby, wouldn't it be nice just to just plow through life
Fall in love, cause a crash, walk away without a scratch and crush hearts like ice
I wish I could be cold like that, so cold like that, so cold like that
I wish could be cold like that, so cold like that
All-American Kid lyrics - Garth Brooks
Was the captain of the team his senior year
In his eyes on his helmet he had no fear
Down by six, ball on the ten
Said, "Huddle up, boys, we’ve got a game to win."
He snapped the ball, he looked left and right
Nobody was open so he tucked in tight
And with four of them boys hanging on to him
The clock ran out as he ran it in
And the whole town cheered
And his mama cried
And they rushed down field
And they raised him high
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "All-American Comeback Kid"
He was recruited by the best schools in the land
He decided he would sign with his Uncle Sam
Kissed his mama goodbye in their living room
Said, "Dad, don’t worry, I’ll be home soon."
And the whole town cheered
And his mama cried
And they lined the street
Just to say goodbye
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "Come Back All-American Kid"
Three tours of duty
And a silver star
Brought him back home with his battle scars
He stepped off the plane
In his combat boots
He saluted the red, the white and blue
And the whole town cheered
And his mama cried
Another hometown boy
Made it home alive
Got his picture in the paper and the headline read "Welcome Back All-American Kid"
Yeah, this song is for those who never did
Come back all-American kids
Mom lyrics - Garth Brooks
A little baby told God, "Hey, I'm kinda scared
Don't really know if I want to go down there
From here it looks like a little blue ball
That's a great big place and I'm so small"
"Why can't I just stay here with you
Did I make you mad, don't you want me to?"
God said, "Oh, child, of course I do
But there's somebody special waiting for you"
[Chorus:]
So, hush now baby don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in life
Is makin' sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom
You'll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
She'll kiss your bruises, your bumps and scrapes
And anytime you hurt, her heart's gonna break
[Chorus]
Now, when she's talking to you
Make sure you listen close
'Cause she's gonna teach you everything
You'll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners
To love and laugh and dream
And she'll put you on the path
That'll bring you back to Me
So, hush now little baby don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender, tough and strong
Come on child
It's time to meet your mom
Wrong About You lyrics - Garth Brooks
You were right about me being lonely without you
Missing you like the way that I do
You were right about so many things
That I’m starting to think I was wrong about you
You were right about me crying all night hoping
My heart breaking in two
You were right about so many things
That I’m starting to think I was wrong about you
If I could do it all over again
I’d do it all a little differently
Slower than that
And I might be able to see
That you were right about me wanting you back again
As soon as I said we were through
You were right about so many things
That I’m starting to think I was wrong about you
If I could do it all over again
I’d do it all a little differently
Slower than that
And I might be able to see
That you were right about our hearts beating as one heart
And me not having a clue
You were right about so many things
That it makes me think that I was wrong about you
You were right about so many things
I’m starting to think I was wrong about you
Rodeo And Juliet lyrics - Garth Brooks
Rodeo & Juliet
If there’s ever been a greater love
Thoust hasn’t found it yet
What’s to be or not to be
Is anybody’s bet
Rodeo & Juliet
Those two were seen in Faraona
Riding queen from Arizona
The fairest in a pair of stud blue jeans
Oh rodeo where for out though
She knows how to play the role in any cowboy’s dream
Rodeo & Juliet
If there’s ever been a greater love
Thoust hasn’t found it yet
What’s to be or not to be
Is anybody’s bet
Rodeo & Juliet
Now Shakespeare cowboys dare to find her
Men will poem paint and rhyme her
But a rose by any name is still a rose
She’ll barrel race and chase tomorrow
Parting is such sweet sweet sorrow
To thine own self be true is all she knows
Rodeo & Juliet
If the world’s ever seen a greater love
Thoust hasn’t found it yet
What’s to be or not to be
Is anybody’s bet
Rodeo & Juliet
Rodeo & Juliet
If the world’s ever seen a greater love
Thoust hasn’t found it yet
What’s to be or not to be
Is anybody’s bet
Rodeo & Juliet [x2]
Midnight Train lyrics - Garth Brooks
Worn out vacant motel sign
Run down bedroom 209
Tonight that’s where I’ll try to find
Some rest
Whiskey bottle on the floor
King James Bible from the drawer
Neither won but lord they’ve done their best
They can’t stop the thought of you
Like a freight train passing through
Feel the rumbling
Hear the roar
My heart it crumbles
Like a thousand nights before
And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through
The wheels are turning in my soul
Her memory’s burning black as coal
It’s like I’m chained to a midnight train passing through
All night long
Til it’s dawn
Then she’s gone
Heatwaves on the rolling hills
Rise like ghosts of love that’s dead
Haunt this lonesome highway of regret
Can’t slow down I can’t look back
Until this train runs out of track
You can’t outrun that one you can’t forget
It’s like I’m frozen in this dream
While she’s slowly gaining speed
Feel the rumbling
Hear the roar
My heart it crumbles
Like a thousand nights before
And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through
The wheels are turning in my soul
Her memory’s burning black as coal
It’s like I’m chained to a midnight train passing through
All night long
Til it’s dawn
Then she’s gone
Feel the rumbling
Hear the roar
My heart it crumbles
Like a thousand nights before
And the driving rain of a midnight train passing through
The wheels are turning in my soul
Her memory’s burning black as coal
It’s like I’m chained to a midnight train passing through
All night long
Til it’s dawn
Then she’s gone
Cowboys Forever lyrics - Garth Brooks
They were carved from the canyons
Raised on the plains
Made for stampedes and Cowtown saloons
They choked on the trail dust
Slept out in the rain
Led hard lives that ended too soon
That one generation that transformed a nation
As descendants of those chosen few
We’re cowboys, cowboys forever
We’ll stand together as long as we live and breathe
We’re cowboys, cowboys forever
We’ve always been, it’s what we’ll always be
Cowboys forever
Now they’re cops in the city
Their lives on the line
They’re truck drivers hauling that freight
They’re young soldiers leaving their loved ones behind
They’re all those who pull their own weight
That one generation that transformed a nation
As the decedents
We all salute here
We’re cowboys, cowboys forever
We’ll ride together as long as we live and breathe
We’re cowboys, cowboys forever
We’ve always been, it’s what we’ll always be
We’re cowboys forever
We’re cowboys, cowboys forever
We’ll ride together as long as we live and breathe
We’re cowboys, cowboys forever
We’ve always been, it’s what we’ll always be
We’re cowboys forever
People Loving People lyrics - Garth Brooks
Doctor you ain't got a pill
For whatever s making this world ill
You can't get forgiveness at the store
And peace it's a politician's war
You won't find no resolution in the bottom of a bottle
In the stars or Aristotle
The only answer to the problem is
People loving people
That's the enemy of everything that's evil
Ain't no quick fix at the end of a needle
It's just people loving people
Words aren't what they seem to be
Talk is cheap and lies are free
We fear what we don't understand
And we've been scared since time began
All the colors and the cultures
Circle 'round us on a spindle
It's a complicated riddle
But the solution is so simple
It's people loving people
That's the enemy of everything that's evil
Ain't no quick fix at the end of a needle
It's just people loving people
You can pawn it off on kings and queens
And those behind the curtain
Say one can't make a difference
In a world so full of hurting
But I believe the remedy
Starts right here with you and me
People loving people
That's the enemy of everything that's evil
Ain't no quick fix at the end of a needle
It's just people loving people
It's just people loving people
It's just people loving people
Send 'Em On Down The Road lyrics - Garth Brooks
He didn't ask. He didn't pry
He just held the ice that covered my black eye
And when that girl broke my heart
We just threw that baseball back and forth 'til dark
And when I started playin' guitar and didn't have a clue
He wanted to protect me but somehow my father knew
You can cry for 'em
Live and die for 'em
You can help them find their wings
But you can't fly for 'em
'Cause if they're not free to fall
Then they're not free at all
And though you just can't
Bear the thought of letting go
You pick 'em up. you dust 'em off
You send 'em on down the road
A little kiss on a skinned up knee
From playin' soccer, riding bikes and climbing trees
And when bad dreams filled their heads
I chased the monsters out from underneath their beds
I guess I always knew those days would end
But the hardest thing I've ever learned has been
You can cry for 'em
Live and die for 'em
You can help them find their wings
But you can't fly for 'em
'Cause if they're not free to fall
Then they're not free at all
And though you just can't
Bear the thought of letting go
You pick 'em up, you dust 'em off
You send 'em on down the road
You can cry for 'em
Live and die for 'em
And even though it's gonna break your heart
You let 'em go. You pick 'em up, you dust 'em off
You hold 'em close and you pray a lot
You send 'em on down the road
Fish lyrics - Garth Brooks
I took a short vacation
To the Gulf of Mexico
Everyday I’d see this fellow
With his tackle box and pole
And he’d fish
And he’d fish
All day long
So one day I went out walking
And when I got down to his spot
Me and him got to talking
And said have you ever thought
About what you are going to do with your life
I said I’m about to share with you
My secret to success
So you can go make something of yourself
You can sell these fish you’re catching
You can buy yourself a boat
Hard work and dedication
And the next thing you know
You reinvest your money
You’ll be captain of the fleet
You’ll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street
And you can do anything that you wish
He says, you mean fish?
His simple words of wisdom
Hit me right between the eyes
And it really got me thinking
About the way I live my life
Cause I just work
And I work
All day long
So I asked myself a question
That I knew the answer to
Is success a second mortgage
On a big house with a pool
Or is it a chair
The salt in the air
Wetting the line
That advice that I tried to give him
To take him to the top
Was really nothing more than just a crock
You can sell these fish you’re catching
You can buy yourself a boat
Hard work and dedication
And the next thing you know
You reinvest your money
You’ll be captain of the fleet
You’ll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street
And you can do anything that you wish
He says, you mean fish?
So I went and bought some tackle
And a bucket full of bait
You can find me here most days
With my chair sitting there next to his
We just fish
Yeah, we just fish
Yeah fish, fish, fish, fish, fish
You Wreck Me lyrics - Garth Brooks
You call me crying on the phone at 2 AM
And I rush right over
You talked to me like you never talk to him
And I just don’t understand
You hold me like you’re scared to let me go
You look at me like I’m invisible
And I don’t know why
I am out of my mind
I’m stuck in the rain
Standing in line
Watching your world go by
And I can’t believe
That I’m crashing and burning and somehow you can’t see
I love the way you wreck me
Tell me what I got to do
To paint me in
Your perfect picture
My heart’s running in a race I can’t win
And I can’t just can’t help myself
I want to write it on the wall for you to see
Would it matter if I got down on my knees
And I don’t know why
I am out of my mind
I’m stuck in the rain
Standing in line
Watching your world go by
And I can’t believe
That I’m crashing and burning and somehow you can’t see
I love the way you wreck me
You’ve already got the best of me
You’ve already made a mess of me
And I keep coming back, coming back for more
And I don’t know why
I am out of my mind
I’m stuck in the rain
Standing in line
Watching your world go by
And I can’t believe
That I’m crashing and burning, I’m tossing and turning
I guess that I’m learning that you’re never going to see
I love the way you wreck me
I love the way you wreck me
Tacoma lyrics - Garth Brooks
I’m leaving
Words fall out my mouth
And onto the floor
I’m needing
To pack up my bags and walk right out the door
This is goodbye
I’ll roll the windows down
My old Chevrolet
Don’t know where I’m going
I just know I can’t stay
Might make it to Memphis
But that ain’t far enough
I speed down the highway to Tulsa, Mizzoula
So fast that the hurt can’t catch up
I’m burning your memory
One mile at a time
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you’re out of my mind
I’m thinking
With a truck stop song and a cold cup of coffee
I’m drinking
Yeah I’m hurting like hell
But honey how could I not be
You make me
Oh the joke and the fool
The last one to know so I’m gonna put
Mountains and deserts and rivers between us
Go as far as I can go
Might make it to Memphis
But that ain’t far enough
I speed down the highway to Tulsa, Mizzoula
So fast that the hurt can’t catch up
I’m burning your memory
One mile at a time
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you’re out of my mind
Might be some tears in Topeka
A couple of sleepless nights in Cheyenne
And the time I miss you
I’ll hit the gas as fast as I can
Might make it to Memphis
The Kansas City line
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you’re out of my mind
All the way to Tacoma
By then I hope you’re out of my mind
'Zat You, Santa Claus? lyrics - Garth Brooks
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Gifts I'm preparin'
For some Christmas sharin'
But I pause because
Hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Sure is dark out
Not the slighest spark out
Pardon my clackin' jaws
Uh, who there
Who is it
Uh, stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Are you bringin' a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That's what I've been waitin' for
Would you mind slippin' it under the door
Four winds are howlin'
Or maybe that be growlin'
My legs feel like straws
Oh my, my, me, my
Kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Yeah
Oh hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Yeah, say now
Hey there, who is it
Stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Whoa there Santa you gave me a scare
Now stop teasin' 'cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shakin' this way
Well I see old Santa in the keyhole
I'll give to the cause
One peek and I'll try there
Uh-oh there's an eye there
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Please, please
I pity my knees
Say that's you Santa Claus
That's him alright
Guy Goin' Nowhere lyrics - Garth Brooks
(originally by Ashley McBride)
Don't waste your life behind that guitar
You may get gone, but you won't get far
You're not the first, boy you won't be the last
And you can tell us all about it when you come crawlin' back
Cause that road you're on, it just winds and winds
You're spinning your wheels, and wastin' your time
But when the lights come up and I hear the band
And where they said I'd never be is right here where I stand
I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere
Now I get these calls, out on the road
Yeah we heard your song on the radio
We always said you'd make it big back then
Yeah and I tell everybody that I knew you back when
So don't forget us little folks
When you crash and burn, remember we told you so
But then the lights come up and I hear the band
And where they said I'd never be is right here in Spokane
I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere
And I need to thank the Father for every song I sing
And for everyone who ever said I'd never be anything
It took a whole lot of 'yes I wills' and 'I don't cares'
A lot of run down dives and bars and rain soaked fairs
To get to all of you down here and way back there
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere
Hard Luck Woman lyrics - Garth Brooks
(originally by Kiss)
If never I'd met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first hello
We'd never have to say goodbye
If never I held you
My feeling's would never show
It's time I start walkin'
But there's so much you'll never know
I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
Rags, a sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie
I keep telling you a hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Rags, a sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man
Hard luck woman
Hard luck woman
Hard luck woman
Hard luck woman
More Than A Memory lyrics - Garth Brooks
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
They don't realize
Is when you're dialing 6 numbers just to hang up the phone
Driving across town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of the night
Just to hear him say its gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep
Cause you know she'll be there in your dreams
That's when she's more than a memory
Took a match to everything she ever wrote
Watched her words go up in smoke
Tore all her pictures off the wall
That ain't helping me at all
Cause when you're talking out loud but nobody's there
You look like hell and you just don't care
Drinking more than you ever drank
Sinking down lower than you ever sank
When you find yourself falling down upon your knees
Praying to God, begging Him "please"
that's when she's more than a memory
She's more
She's more
Cause when you're dialing her number just hang up the phone
Driving across town just to see if she's home
Waking a friend in the dead of night
Just to hear him say it's gonna be alright
When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep
Cause you know she's waiting in your dreams
That's when she's more than a memory
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
