CHORUS:
I need some real good loving in a real bad way
I’ve been away from you so long and I’ve been dying every day
I’m gonna get my arms around you and that’s where they’re gonna stay
I need some real good loving in a real bad way

VERSE 1:
Baby I’ve been thinking about
Your kiss that I’ve been missing out
And it won’t be much longer now
I’m coming home to you

Darlin I know we both agree
This ain’t no time for tenderly
Satisfaction guaranteed
You’re long overdue

BRIDGE:
Absence makes the heart go fonder
Now I’m rollin in like thunder
To the covers we’ll be under
Baby…

Repeat Chorus

VERSE 2:
Baby you’ve been on my mind
Every second of this daily grind
And I can’t wait till we unwind
I know you’re ready too

Away from you is killin me
Gonna quit my job and hopefully
We won’t have to file for bankruptcy
That’s what I’m gonna do

Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus

BRIDGE(2):
Absence makes the heart go fonder
Now I’m rollin in like thunder
To the covers we’ll be under
What we’ll do then I wonder

Think I might hold you tight
Our only sight's by candlelight
Gonna ignite our love tonight
Baby…
I need some lovin'... in a bad way...

VERSE 1:
I was raised in the good old days
Where there weren’t no city lines
On an old dirt road where nobody goes
With an buckshot peppered stop sign

And I worked all day hauling square bales of hay
And to swim we'd head down to the creek
I’d jump off the bluff about fifty feet up
You could say I had a bit of a wild streak, yeah

VERSE 2:
Now I’m a man with a farmer’s tan
‘Cause that’s the kind of work I do
But when I get home, I sit out alone
With a jar of daddy's home brew

Or just maybe some sweet ice tea
And poke salad on the porch out back
You can hear bull frogs and the call of wild dogs
And crickets at the old hay stack


CHORUS:
I call Dixie my home
Where the land is unchanged and the mountain range is blue
I call Dixie my home
Cause you gotta understand, I’m southern man through and through
Yeah you gotta understand, I’m southern man through and through


VERSE 3:
As I ride around this little town
I put a hand up to people I meet
Pass by chicken farms and run down barns
And folks plowing summer heat

And I agree this is God’s country
Best believe that without a doubt
And if you come down with me, I can guarantee
You’ll see what I’m talking about

Repeat Chorus

BREAK DOWN:
Now if you come down our way you best stay away
With your concrete trucks and cranes
‘Cause we don’t want malls or more traffic laws
Or our dirt roads becoming four lanes

Now I’ve been all around and I've seen distant towns
Just to find out who I am
It came clear to me, I’d just rather be
On Sand Mountain Alabam!

Repeat Chorus

Well me and a good ol’ buddy of mine, figured we’d have ourselves a good time
So we loaded up the truck for a weekend trip
He threw in his tent and I loaded my gun, grabbed some wieners and the hotdog buns
And then to Green’s Grocery to get some dip

Ol’ Jim said he knew of a place, it was just there up the road aways
Right outside our hometown of Fyffe
Down Co Rd 50 past that one big hill, is where his pa had built this still
Down that one dirt trail that cuts off to the right

We drove though the woods and when I thought, we’d turned wrong and gotten lost
A clearing came up and that still rose into view
Jim said, “We just gotta watch our step, ‘cause I guarantee my pa would flip
If he found out we were down here drinking his brew”

I said, “10-4 buddy as I stopped the truck, in the mornin' there when we’re loading up
I’ll walk behind and make sure we’ve covered our tracks”
I tell his pa knows how to make shine, after just one swig I was feeling fine
And we kicked back with a jug just to relax

After shooting some beer cans off a tree, it was starting to get too dark to see
So we headed back toward the still for another jar
Just about then the whole sky lit up, I looked around and said, “I must be drunk
Just a minute ago I could have swore it was dern near dark”

I looked back at Jim but he had stopped, his eyes were wide and his jaw had dropped
And he was starring up at something just above the trees
Well I looked up there toward that light, and what I saw was a magnificent sight
It was broad, curved and yeller as it could be

Don’t know what sound a flyin banana makes, but I listened hard and there was no mistake
It was moving quiet as a breeze there through the sky
Jim looked at me I said, “I don’t know”; he said, “That there’s a UFO”
And he grabbed up the gun with a crazed look in his eye

Now Jim’s never been accused of bein too smart, and when it comes to shootin he can’t hit a barn
But he thought he could sight an alien and make a kill
Before I could even make a sound, Jim had done pointed and fired a round
But I was couldn’t help but notice the barrel was pointed at the still

Man that still went off like an atomic bomb, shot flaming streams of alcohol
And Jim got hit in the head with some copper line
I tell you one way to get an alien’s attention, is a shotgun blast and not to mention
The explosion seen from highly flammable shine

Jim wasn’t even phased he just loaded again, I said, “Boy have you done lost your sense”
That’s one big beer can that just might shoot back
That UFO spun around, zoomed right up and then touched down
I said, “I think it’s high time we made some tracks"

Jim said, “I don’t think that we can outrun it” I said, “Well I ain’t standing right here in front of it”,
Besides I figure I just got to outrun you”
And man I let out of there like a scalded dog, and I never looked back at Jim at all
But I could hear him right behind of me high-tailing it too

Then he whined something about probing in the rear, I said “partner that’s all I need to hear”
And we jumped in that truck we were getting on out of there
Man I fired her up slammed it down, cut it and slung the back end on around
We were throwing up rooster tails a 100 foot in the air

We didn’t slow down till we were almost home, and I looked at Jim and said, “Get on the phone
To that UFO hotline and tell them what we’ve seen”
He said “I’m sorry partner that ain’t gonna get it, them hotline fellers done put me on a limit
Now I can only call in one time a week”

‘Cause I see them flying around all the time, and not just when I’m drinking shine
But also yesterday while picking mushrooms
I said “I ought to knock you out but don’t guess I will, when your pa finds out you destroyed his still
You're fixin' to have plenty of trouble coming to you

Well I haven’t told a soul about what went down, ‘cause they wouldn't believe me anyhow
And next time I’ll find another way to unwind
The moral here I won’t forget, is when Jim makes plans for a weekend trip
I’m gonna make... sure they don’t include… shrooms or shine.

There's so much about country music that I love
Songs about heartache and when push comes to shove
But the only kind that fires me high as a kite
Are the songs about drinkin' and up all night

It's songs about drinkin' and songs you drink to
"This Cowboy's Hat" by Chris LeDoux
Songs that get you up and songs that get you loud
Songs that get you like "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down"

Hank Sr., Jr., and Hank III
Hank Thompson got it started but Kitty had the last word
It's the ones by Waylon Jennings and The Buckaroos
Songs about drinkin' and songs you drink to
Songs you drink to

Now there's great country songs about love and romance
And the kind that make you want to put your drink down and dance
But every time it's "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye"
Well I grab up my beer and point it straight to the sky

For songs about drinkin' and songs you drink to
The uncensored version of "A Boy Named Sue"
The Stranger Willie Nelson, there's a million from Merle
And all the ladies love to hear about a "Brown Eyed Girl"

The Possum George Jones and David Allan Coe
And Paycheck: "ain't a-workin' here no more"
You got "Set 'em up Joe" and "London Homesick Blues"
Songs about drinkin' and songs you drink to
Songs you drink to

Well I've wrote a few songs and I guess they're alright
And I'd love to sit and play for y'all all night
But you'll know when it's a classic beer drinkin' song
When everybody raises glasses and starts to sing along

To songs about drinkin' and songs you drink to
Like "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw"
You've got Pat, and Charlie, and Robert Earl Keen
But you know down in Texas "Bob Wills is Still the King"

I love love songs about drinkin' from them Red Dirt Fellers too
Guys like Jason Boland and Stoney LaRue
They've got you favorite modern day party songs
Like "Them Boys From Oklahoma Roll Their Joints all Wrong"

Songs about drinkin' and songs you drink to
We'll keep on drinkin' until they're through
Hey guitar man you know what to do
Play me some songs about drinkin' and songs you drink to

VERSE 1:
The car I was driving's become a long black Cadillac
I’m on a lonely, dark road and my heart is in the back
Got the hammer down and the compass shows south
Heavy mists close in and I’m filled with dread and doubt

Did I make a wrong turn or was this the way all along
According to the map I made we're not where we belong
The brakes disappeared a long time ago
My body feels cold, but there’s a fire in my soul

CHORUS:
Destination misery
An angel is the rearview, but the devil’s the gasoline
The lights are on bright but there’s nothing to see
Except all the road signs say it’s the wrong place to be
Destination misery

VERSE 2:
Why have you forced me to leave my dreams behind
The pain you have caused me my mind is going blind
Fear of being lost is why I’m all alone
And now I’m surrounded by the empty dark unknown

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

VERSE 1:
Before daylight, in my boots
Out at the barn got to do what I do
Grab a bite, then it’s on the roof
Got to fix that part where the rain comes through

Cutting hay, in the seat
Of a John Deere tractor I just fixed last week
All day, in the summer heat
Sweat ain’t a factor ‘cause the kids got to eat

CHORUS 1:
Right now I need a country song to get me through
To keep me up on my feet cause I got work to do

Play me some true country music
Crank it up loud ‘cause right now I could use it
I need something to feed my soul

Play me some true country music
"Workin’ Man’s Blues" now I ain't gonna loose it
I need a honky-tonk hero

VERSE 2:
In a boat, wet a line
Ran out of beer so I switch to moonshine
Camouflage coat, in a pine
Waiting on a deer going to get him this time

Friday night, I’m dressed up
Wash a week’s worth of mud off of my truck
Bar light, pour a mug
Holler at my buds as the band cranks up

CHORUS 2:
Right now we need a country song to get us through
To get this crowd on it’s feet cause we got drinkin' to do

Play me some true country music
Crank it up loud ‘cause right now I could use it
I need something to feed my soul

Play me some true country music
"Country State of Mind" don’t you ever confuse it
I need a honky-tonk hero

CHORUS 3:
Play me some true country music
Crank it up loud ‘cause right now I could use it
I need something to feed my soul

Play me some true country music
"Workin’ Man’s Blues" don’t you ever confuse it
We need a honky-tonk hero

VERSE 1:
Live this life with me
For you gave me redemption, when a thousand keys couldn’t set me free
I want to give you all that makes me who I am
You define me like shade from a tree; I’ll stand where you stand

CHORUS 1:
So take my hand and I’ll never let go
From this moment on ‘till they lay me low
You are my heart, my body, and soul

You were made from me from a million dreams
You have always been my destiny
Now I ask on bended knee
Life this life with me

VERSE 2:
I feel my passion ignite deep within
It’s a fire fueled when you move me, so I close my eyes and I breathe you in
Love is like a mighty current, and I’m swept away
I cease my pursuit I hold on to you, let it take us where it may

Repeat Chorus 1:

BRIDGE:
You have stolen my heart on so many occasions
You are my precious my foundation
My love my companion my inspiration

I’ll always be the reason for your beautiful smile
And I’ll make this time the best of your life, all the time that passes us by

CHORUS 2:
So take my hand I’ll never let go
From this moment on untill they lay me low
I give you my heart, my body, and soul

You were made from me from a million dreams
The one that He's had planned for me
Now I’m here on bended knee
Life this life with me

VERSE 1
Supped up muscle car, no cops so far
Pedal down on the floor, feel that engine roar
Outside’s all a blur, tail sliding around the curve
Speed shifting gears

Tires no tread, straight road up ahead
150 registers, that’s for amateurs
Heart beat thumping, adrenaline pumping
I feel no fear

CHORUS:
I have to find this rush to know that I’m alive
Better get to living boy or too young you will die

Being bad never felt so good
Raising hell like any good old boy would
Being bad never felt so good
I was raised my daddy’s son wouldn’t change if I could

VERSE 2:
Girl comes walking in, dark eyes dark skin
Latin moves, Texas drawl, Heads turn, eyes fall
Scorpion tattoo What would you do?
In for the kill

Fights the crowd to the stage, beer downed half ways
Shakes that thing, swings that hair, looks at me, hungry stare
Guitar man, make it ring, look at me as you sing
Something real

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

CHORUS:
I reckon, I’m fixin, to drink me another drink
‘Cause I got a reason and I’ve got a dime, and I’ve got you to thank
I thought my ship was about to come in, but you caused that ship to sink
That’s why I reckon that I’m fixin to drink me another drink

VERSE 1:
When I came in this bar and sat on this stool, I had two things on my mind
One was to drink till the other was nothing, but a distant blurred outline
This Wild Turkey ain’t done the trick, ‘cause your face keep bleeding through
But I ain’t the kind, to give up on a job, and tonight I’ve got a job to do

Repeat Chorus

VERSE 2:
I finally figured out everyone but me, knows what a fool I’ve been
But I can guarantee I won’t be around, to hear your lies again
Now wait a minute, there I go again, a rantin’ and a ravin’ ‘bout you
Hey there bartender I hope you got a bottle big enough for me to climb into

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

VERSE 1:
When the sun goes down and the neon lights begin to glow
And the guitars tune up and the beer and the whiskey start to flow

That's when she comes alive and slides on her favorite pair of jeans
She's here to see some music, she's here to get what she needs

Well, she says a song is more than the sum of its parts
When you add that drivin' beat, the words can pierce a cold heart

CHORUS:
She's here for the music, it's in her soul
Yeah, she's here for the music, she'll be the first to let you know

VERSE 2:
The first on the floor, she's got moves like you ain't never seen
And she's just gettin' started, when you start to fall asleep

CHORUS:
She's here for the music, it's in her soul
Yeah, she's here for the music, she'll be the first to let you know

VERSE 3:
Alone in the crowd, she can feel the music like the tide
And she longs for the feelin', that I feel what she feels inside

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

VERSE 1:
I thought I'd grow, like so many I know, into a proud and respectable man
Instead of being here, holding eyes full of fear, acting like the devil's right hand
My Mother gave her warning, "Don't compromise what's right"
But I grew up wrong, I seemed to be drawn, to the darker side of life

The other day, I made my way, to where no honest man would
The Boss himself, hired guns to his left, sat playing five card stud
I laid my money on the table, and I won me a hand or two
Then the Boss dealt me, a fist full of queens, I knew I could not loose

When the cards went down, my heart hit the ground, I had lost everything I own
My money, my car, may daddy's little farm, the only place that I call home
I quickly sank to the bottom, of an ocean of pointed guns
I was a desperate man, with nowhere to stand, and nowhere to run

CHORUS:
It's midnight on a Texas highway
I've got a hole in my soul that I know the Lord won't fix
Tonight I might die but I'll die my way
With Old No. 7 and a .30-06

VERSE 2:
For the next three days, I fed my rage, on a self-destructive dive
No food no sleep, just Jack and speed, got to thinking someone must die
Then I caught the sound of, someone laughing out my name
They had stacked the deck, when I lost my bet, that's when I lost all restrain

I plunged right, into the deluge of night, with dark thoughts in my eyes
There's no way, I'd let him get away, with cheating me out of my life
Then I saw this '35 Deluxe Plymouth in black
That Devil's Ride, beckoned me inside, all I left were tracks

I made one stop, my old hunting spot, and grabbed everything that I need
My hand on the bottle, my foot on the throttle, Springfield across my right knee
Saw that Boss outside his barroom, so I left the car in the woods
From a hundred yards away, I let him see my face, then I dropped him where he stood

Repeat Chorus

BREAK DOWN:
As I watch the clock, I know I've got, only one thing I can do
He had his gang, and they remain, and they'll hunt me till I'm through
So I grab this eight-ball shifter, and I spin this car around
I'm racing straight, to meet my fate, and put them in the ground

Repeat Chorus
(Car speeding by is an actual all-original 30's model Plymouth driven by Ray Zuehlke and recorded by Dewey Wayne)
