Tearin' It Up (And Burnin' It Down)
We all came here for a party tonight
And your gonna get left if you don't get right, child
So forget your troubles and forget the news
We're gonna pull the plug and black out them blues
And if your tie's to tight then adjust the noose
'Cause if your gonna hang tight, cut loose
Tearin' it up
And we're burin' it down
Hey daddy's hide your daughters
'Till the sun come back around
'Cause we all came here to party
We came to come unwound
So go tell everybody that the boys are back in town
Just to tear it up
And to burn it down
We love to hear you stomp and sing
Just swamp a little southeast western swing thing
So just grab unto each other and let go
Make a little midnight moonlight mo-jo
When the magic happens let it all hang out

Cowboy Bill
He told a good story and all of us kids listened
bout his life on the border and the way it was then
And we all believed him and when he would finish
Wed ask the old cowboy to tell em again
You could almost hear those prairie winds blowin
His saddle a creakin neath his old faded jeans
You could taste the dry dust from the trail he was ridin
As he sat there and painted those west texas scenes
(chorus)
And the grown-ups would tell us
You boys keep your distance, that old mans just tellin you lies
But to all of us kids cowboy bill was a hero
Just as true as his blue texas skies
He told of a time when he rode with the rangers
Down on the pecos and he saved the day
Outnumbered by plenty, they were almost too cover
With thirty banditos headed their way
He looked back just in time to see a horse stumble
The captain went down and bill pulled up on his rains
And through a flurry of bullets he rescued the captain

Aint Going Down
(til the sun comes up)
Six oclock on friday evening
Momma doesn t know shes leaving
til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin, gears a-jamming
Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and theyre headin to the rodeo
Mommas on the front porch screamin out her warning
Girl you better get your red head
Back in bed before the morning.
Nine oclock the show is ending
But the fun is just beginning
She knows hes anticipating
But shes gonna keep him waiting
Grab a bite to eat
And then theyre heading to the honkey tonk
But loud crowds and line dancing
Just aint what they really want
Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek
And where its george strait til real late

Rodeo
His eyes are cold and restless
His wounds have almost healed
And shed give half of texas
Just to change the way he feels
She knows his loves in tulsa
And she knows hes gonna go
Well, it aint no woman, flesh and blood
Its that damned old rodeo.
(chorus)
Well, its bulls and blood
Its dust and mud
Its the roar of a sunday crowd
Its the white in his knuckles
The gold in the buckle
Hell win the next go round
Its boots and chaps
Its cowboy hats
Its spurs and latigo
Its the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain

Kickin' And Screamin'
(Tony Arata)
Well, I don't know what my uncle did
But he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one Saturday night
He had spent his whole life fussin'
Would have spent his last breath cussin'
'Til he realized the deal was really done
He started screamin' "hallelujah"
Tryin' to make his peace with everyone
Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin'
Just like he came in
He was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin' whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Well, I could hear those church bells ringin'
To my best friend I was clingin'
Screamin' "If you love me brother don't let me go"

The Gift
A poor orphan girl named maria
Was walking to market one day
She stopped for a rest by the roadside
Where a bird with a broken wing lay
A few moments passed till she saw it
For its feathers were covered with sand
But soon clean and wrapped it was travelling
In the warmth of marias small hand
She happily gave her last peso
On a cage made of rushes and twine
She fed it loose corn from the market
And watched it grow stronger with time
Now the christmas eve service was coming
And the church shone with tinsel and light
And all of the townfolks brought presents
To lay by the manger that night
There were diamonds and incense
And perfumes
In packages fit for a king
But for one ragged bird in a small cage

For Once In My Life
For once in my life I have someone who needs me,
Someone I needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where love leads me,
Somehow I know Ill be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew (long before I knew)
Someone warm like you
You make my dreams come true
For once in my life I wont let sorrow hurt me
Not like its hurt me before (not like its hurt before)
For once I have someone I know want deserve me
Im not alone anymore
For once I can say this is my new ? ticket
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
(someone who needs me),
For once in my life (someone who needs me)
For once in my life
For once in my life I wont let sorrow hurt me
Not like its hurt me before (not like its hurt before)

Driftin Away
With all of my heart, I know I could love you
But, with all of my soul, Im driftin away
With all of my mind, I know you could save me from myself and anything else,
With all of my strength, I wanna reach out for you
With every breath, I call out your name
With every step, I just wanna turn around and say
Baby make it okay
But Im so afraid
That youve forgiven me one too many times
And Im so afraid
To give my heart again, just to have a change of mind
And Im not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Baby, like the wind, driftin away
It blows and nobody knows where its going to
(Im driftin away)
It blows and nobody know what its gonna do
With all of my heart, I know I disappointed you
And although Im real sorry
I dont know how to save this time

The Old Stuff
Oh I said a little prayer tonight
Before I came on stage
As I came walkin past the drivers and the locals on the union wage
I asked the dear lord up in heaven
Let me treat the music right
Then I prayed that detroit
Goes wild tonight.
Seven pickers and all our gear in a rental van
Playin music never sleepin and workin on a neon tan
We played the barn down in sanford florida
For bev roberts out in camden park
We plugged it in up east at bull run and the place went dark.
Back when the old stuff was new
Back before the buses and the hard workin boys in the crew
It was one big party
But the business called it payin our dues
Back when the old stuff was new.
Oh the stories we could tell
If it werent for the code of the road
About the buckboard, bear creek, cowboys, and the grizzly rose
