SONG LYRICS

I Don’t Care (What They Say)

My friends all say you’re no good for me
Gonna hurt me bad - Scrape my knees
You sure do make it hard to breathe - You take my breath away
And they all say you’re just for show
Easy come - easy go
But, this might be LOVE for all they know - I don’t care what they say.

Chorus
Honey I don’t care - I don’t care - No, I don’t care
I don’t care what they say

You’re in your pink corvette doin’ 99
I’ll be following close to you behind
I’ll disregard those warning signs - I don’t care what they say

You been sportin’ that new bouffant hair-doo
With cut off jeans & cowboy boots
Showing off that cute bulldog tattoo - You take my breath away

Chorus - (double chorus)

Release - It feels so good I have to laugh out loud.
               Girl, you got my head up in the clouds
Solo

Hand & hand - arm & arm
Too much love never did no harm
For you girl, I would bet the farm - You take my breath away -

They all say you’ll break my heart
Surely tear my world apart
If you decide to break this man - do the best you can

Chorus (Double Chorus) or more - Out

Not That Kind of Guy

The sun goes down but the heat comes up
I get my strength from a plastic cup
Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s wrong from right
There’s a juke box cranking out the sounds
The skirts are high and the boys get down
Don’t wait up baby, I’ll be home late tonight.

I’m not the kind of guy who likes to stay out all night long
But Lord, I can’t deny temptation’s growing strong
Maybe I could believe it’s not wrong if it’s just for one night
Oh but baby, you know I’m not that kind of guy
Baby, you know I’m not that kind of guy

Oh, Oh won’t go all night long

Now I’ve heard that talk out on the streets
They say I don’t know who my baby’s seeing
When I’m gone and she’s home late at night
Well around and ‘round and ‘round she goes
And where it stops I wouldn’t know
If I hadn’t seen things with my own two eyes

Now I’m not the kind of guy who can hang on very long
And I can’t close my eyes to what’s been going on
May I could forgive and pretend everything is all right
But baby, you know I’m not that kind of guy
Baby, you know I’m not that kind of guy.

She Don’t Even Make A Bubble

Well she used to be my baby, but she didn’t treat me right
She’d do her sleeping in the daytime,
‘Cause she’d stay out so late at night,
One day I finally got the message, Lord I heard it loud & clear
When that woman up and left me just crying in my beer
Now she don’t even make a bubble in my bucket of tears

Oh I used to love that woman but she was way too smart
I bet she must have known a thousand ways
That she could break my little heart
She’d just let me hang around her to accentuate my fears
She probably thinks I’m still crazy about her after all these years
But she don’t even make a bubble in my bucket of tears

Bridge:

She don’t even make a bubble in all these tears I cry
I got a whole new set of troubles to occupy my mind
And brother, when I tell you this I can’t be no more sincere
'Cause She don’t even make a bubble in my bucket of tears.

Oh if I ever see that woman it will be too soon
She used to make me crazy and kept me howlin’ at the moon
Oh but if I ever see her I’m gonna sing it loud and clear
And I hope this little song of mine keeps burning in her ear
'Cause She don’t even make a bubble in my bucket
                                "                             in my bucket
                                "                             in my bucket of Tears

The Hideaway

I know a place. It’s not too far
Down To the Hideaway
Come be my guest, Come as you are
Down To the hideaway

We’ll be rockin’ to the rhythm down where the world gets dark
You better wear some sunglasses baby
‘Cause when we get together the flames are gonna spark

This ain’t no joke, Ain’t nothing funny
You be my girl. I’ll be your honey
Down at the Hideaway

I’ve been waiting for the weekend
Baby, when we get together, we’ll be slippin’ out of sight

Tonight’s the night we’ll be doing just fine
We sho’ enough gonna have a good time
You show me yours and I’ll show you mine
Down at the Hideaway

When I Get Over You

There’s one thing I know for sure
I’ll get over you
Someday when they find the cure
Then I’ll be over you.
As sure as night turns into day
As sure as love can fade away
I’ll get back on track someday
When I get over you
When I get over you

They say that time will ease the pain
I do believe it’s true
Winter’s snow will hide the rain
When I get over you
When water changes into wine
And the sun has lost its shine
Out of sight; out of mind
When I get over you
When I get over you

Oh these changes drive me crazy
This is gonna take some time

Where The Good Ones Go

It was good when I was young
I used to hear the music play
Why can’t I feel like I did then - today?
There was magic in the air
Coming across the radio
Can you tell me where the good ones go?

Where the good ones go when their song is through
With only echoes left to hold on to
They used to rock my world - singing sweet and low
And I pray someday I’ll find
Where the good ones go?

Well the moon is high tonight
It’s shining bright the way it used to be
Won’t you shine your light, tonight, on me?
I used to never miss the chance
When I could (To) hear them harmonize
It’s a brighter world through younger eyes

Where the good ones go when their song is through
With only echoes left to hold on to
They used to rock my world - singing sweet and low
And I pray someday I’ll find
Where the good ones go?

I’ll take my chances – I got to try
To sing their song before I die……….

Where the Highway Meets the Sky

There is a place where I can go
To leave this pain behind
Just straight ahead on up the road
Where the highway meets the sky
This restless love has kept me yearning
This weary heart beats out of time
(But) Tonight my love waits for me
Where The Highway Meets The Sky

The moon is high (and) the wind is still
(and) The highway calls my name
If I make it all alone
I’ll make it just the same
Don’t wait for me to be returning
And don’t you cry, don’t waste your time
'Cause all I need is waiting there for me
Where the highway meets the sky

Tonight I’ll head on down the highway
It’s time to get on down the road
Things will be better there
No matter where I go...
This restless love has kept me yearning
This weary heart beats out of time
Tonight my love waits for me
Where the Highway Meets the Sky
Where the Highway Meets the Sky

YahHoo Polka

I like all kinds of music - the old ones and the new
And when I feel like dancing, nothing else will do
And when I’m feeling lonely, I have to sing the blues
But tonight I’m feeling kinda country
And I just want to sing YAHOO!

YahHoo - (Ye Ha)
YahHoo - (Ye Ha) Hey I’m just doing the Yahoo Polka

Well I used to drink to heavy, guess I couldn’t hold my Booze
They say I used to drop my trousers every time I had a brew (few)
But now I’ve found something better. It helps to pull me through
It’s my favorite bottled chocolate beverage
I pop the top on a Yoo Hoo!

YooHOO - Ye Ha
YooHOO - Ye Ha   - Now we’re doing the YooHoo Polka

I use to live in Nashville, down on 16th avenue
I’d go out and play my music in a purple rhinestone suit
One day my record man he told me "Son, what ya trying to do"?
"Purple rhinestone suits and big white hats just don’t go
with them black tennis shoes".

(And he proceeded to explain to me why I was the biggest dumbest
YayHoo that he’d ever seen.

And I said YayHoo - YayHoo? Why I’ll YayHoo You!
(And then I thought…..wait a minute…..Hummmmm
I think I can use that in my new song.!!!!
Goes something like this………..
(Walk Up to) …YayHoo! Ye-ha YahHoo Ye-ha YooHoo
Now We’re just doing the Yahoo Polka YaHoo hot durn ya’ll I swear!
