Lyrics:

Change

Run, jump, scream and shout
Spin in circles till you hit the ground
Smile, frown, laugh out loud
Give me one more thing to think about

'Cause I've got both feet planted on the ground
And I know nothing's gonna shut me down

Some People change, some people stay the same
And some people never leave this town

Have you ever seen a storm rolling in
Running hard across the sky
Wind blowing fast, sand rushing in
Lightning bolts flashing, lighting up the sky

You couldn't paint a better picture
Couldn't send me a photograph
To compare to the memory that I have

Some things change, come things stay the same
And some, no they don't come back around

Look at your life
Look at what you like
And tell me, are you satisfied

Some People change, some people stay the same
And some people never leave this town
Some things change, come things stay the same
And some, no they don't come back around


Bring Me Down

I've got friends that like to smoke all day long
That's ok with me I don't see anything wrong
I've got friends who like to drink and carry on
That's ok with me I just want to sing my song

It's ok, baby it's alright
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Day after day, town after town
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down

When I'm with you it feels so right
And when we dance I like to hold you tight
And I'll kiss your lips and it feels so nice
Feels like I'm in the air fells like I could fly

Chorus

This river's deep it's fast and strong
When it's with me I like to float along
The sun shines down from up in the sky
And I'll drink my beer and I'll feel alright

Chorus


All You Ever Do

I pour my should onto you
Because I don't know what you want me to do
So tonight I'll go farther down
So far I don't think that I'll come back around

Why, why, why baby why
I try, try, try and I try
But all you ever do is say goodbye
You're the love of my life
Go and pull my file when I talk to you
i want to make you smile

Where do you go when you're alone
You know the night has eyes
And your games won't get you home
Well I hope he's nice and I hope he's sweet
But I don't think he'd like to hear all the things that you…
That you say to me

Chorus

Take me down
Take me farther
Because I know, I know
You're only going to make it harder

Chorus


Good Times

Spark my mind, I think it's time we made a drink
Don't give me lip, you'd better quit before I make you leave
I heard you never lost, but my right cross is pretty mean
Don't go to bed, 'cause we won't let you fall to sleep

Those girls from out of town, don't let 'em down they just want to see
What a Texas boy can do so make your move before you start to think
Everybody dance, here's your chance this isn't every night
Head to the bar they don't card they're going to treat you right

Just want to have a good time
A few beers and a bottle of wine
Set 'em up and knock 'em down

Shake my hand, how've you been, it's been awhile
Since you left that girl who used to yell you always smile
Scatter like flies run and hide we'll take the blame
It's no big deal we'll just walk outside and they'll take our names

Just want to have a good time
A few beers and a bottle of wine
Set 'em up and knock 'em down
I heard you're coming back some time
That'd better not be a lie
Because we always like to see you around…. see you around.

Spark my mind, I think it's time we made a drink
Don't give me lip, you'd better quit before I make you leave
I heard you never lost, but my right cross is pretty mean
Don't go to bed, 'cause we won't let you fall to sleep

Just want to have a good time
A few beers and a bottle of wine
Set 'em up and knock 'em down
I heard you're coming back some time
That'd better not be a lie
Because we always like to see you around…. see you around.


Three Day Weekend

Three Day Weekend
Boys are having a party again
After that we'll head to the coast
Fishing, Drinking, playing washers in the sand
I guess some things don't get old

Watch the waves, with a grin
Grab the net while I reel one in
It's been the same since we were kids

If we don't catch dinner it'll be ok
We'll just pick something up at the IGA
A couple of dogs on a charcoal grill

It's a three day weekend
And it feels like summer time
It's a three day weekend
Maybe we'll get it right this time
Right this time

Late night, my car
We could take our love so far
As we drive around this town
Campfire in the sand
You and me walking hand in hand
Just looking at those stars

Chorus


Casey Please

I don't know what to say right now
When you're around you make me stutter
And I can't call your phone
You won't even give me your number

Casey please get away from me
Casey please just for a little while
Can't you see what you do to me
I'll find a way to be with you somehow

Well our time here has not been long
And half the time I'm doing something wrong
They say timing is everything
That's why I wrote this song, thats why I sing

Chorus

Make up your mind I don't have time anymore
This is the last you'll see me stand at your door
Cause all our time here is almost gone and done
And now its time for me to move along

I like the way that you talk
And I like the way you try to tick me off
So when you lay your head to rest
Remember me and remember what I said

Chorus


Downtown San Antone

I got my windows down, and my radio up
Driving down 90 spitting in a coffee cup
The convicts are picking trash on the side of the road
On my way to downtown San Antone

I got off of work, down in Quemado
I finally got a piece of the big enchilada
Climbing my way up the corporate ladder
Pickin' them melons and eatin' off a silver platter

We're gonna meet up with the boys
See if we can make some noise
Rent us a barge and drink some gold tequila
Don't it make you smile
Dancin' on saltillo tile
Underneath the stars in Downtown San Antone

There's a warrant out for my arrest
In three different counties all to the north and west
So I got to stay polite and keep from raising hell
Or else I might find myself in the downtown jail

But it go late, and I go drunk
The devil came out and I got in to the rum
So I danced around and after a late night dinner
I took off my shirt and I belly flopped in the river

Chorus


Come Around

I've got to roll
I've got to ramble on
1500 miles of nothing but me and my radio

I've got a girl I left behind me
And another one that reminds of
This windshield view I'm looking through
As I drive down highway 90

Lubbock was alright
They like to keep us up all night
Played a show in Waco
You know the crowd they sang just right

Got the trailer loaded up
We've got a long long way to go
Down in Corpus Christi on the Gulf of Mexico

Girl I'll see you out tonight
Wear that dress that fits just right
High heel shoes, cowboy boots,
Or your new balance tennis shoes
I'll come around
Just don't let me down

We've got clear skies
On the midnight drive
I think I'll kill the headlights
Let the moon just be our light

Do you remember
We used to dance all night
You'd always let me kiss you when I told you goodnight

Yeah you'd always let me kiss you when I told you goodnight
We'd laugh and dream of everything until the morning light

Chorus

Set me free
Set me free again
This ocean tide it rolls out and it rolls right on in

When I watch you
I look into your eyes
They tell me that I need you
i need you right by my side

If you ever take a chance then take a chance tonight
It's now or never, can't be better
Just hold on tight

Well lets go now
Let's get so far away
I'll take you where you want to go
Just promise me you'll stay

Chorus


Letting Go

When we met you were standing in the gym
And I was laughing at the shoes that you were wearing
Our eyes locked in and that was when I knew
I was going to be with you someday

Everything is closing in
And now I think its time
I'm letting go

When I left we were laying on my truck
And we said we'd share our love beneath the moon
Wherever I went if I was thinking of your love
Then I could just look up and see it shining

Chorus

When you left you know I said I'd never cry
Now tears pour from my eyes as I stand lonely
The moon turned black as I began to dam my pride
And what I should have put aside to be your only

Chorus


Ride (Run Fast Run Free)

The first time I saw him I was five years old
He put me upon his knee and I remember every story that he told
He rode his pony across the land
He said it made him a better man

Ran for the future, ran from his past
He knew his time here wasn't gonna last
They were gonna ginned him put him in jail
They were gonna hang him send him straight to hell
There's one thing he told me before he died
And I remember each and every night to

Run fast, run free
Cause you'll no longer be with me
And when I see you on the other side
Please tell me all you did was ride

Then I watched them put him on the stand
As they tied ropes around his hands
He didn't struggle there was no sound
I was just his body falling on the ground

The last thing I remember was the look on his face
And I prayed he was in a better place
Now I take to heart his wise advice
And I remember each and every night to

Chorus

I stand along the Rio Grande
The water's rushing at my feet
I look across the foreign land
That's where I need to be

I float along the Rio Grande
I let that water carry me
I look across the foreign land
That's where this ride is taking me

I stand along the Rio Grande
The water's rushing at my feet
I'm ready pistol in my hand
They're never gonna catch me

Chorus

And when I see you on the other side
Please tell me all you did was ride


Leave

So you you've seen him
Just a couple times
But you say you still love me
And he'll fade away in time

And if you had to choose
You'd stay right by my side
But I know that's not the truth
I can see it in your eyes

Don't lie to me
Get your things and leave
Don't lie to me… Baby

This isn't all my fault you say
As you start to shout at me
You start to cry, you improvise
To get sympathy from me

But I haven't seen or heard from you
In I don't know how many days
So before you cry I'll say goodbye
And I'll send you on your way

Don't blame this on me
Get your things and leave
Don't blame this on me… Baby

Then I guess I saw you
Just the other day
I caught your eye you started to smile
WeAs we crossed each other's way

Then we started talking
About how it used to be
An hour went we talked about your man
And then I began to see

You'll never love me
And now I see
You'll never love me… baby


Goodnight and Goodbye

Well it's two in the morning and I'm sure you're expecting my call
It's been a long night and I've found a place to fall
Why are you laughing so hard that you're starting to cry
Oh you're with your girlfriends and you are all having a ball

Well I miss you and I wish you were here
But I've got your picture that you gave me last year
This three by five's not quite the right size
But it helps me get from night to night
Tell the girls hello and I'll let you go
I miss you, goodnight, and goodbye

Sometimes I wonder if this spell that I'm under is real
Or is it a store and my part will soon disappear
Lost in the pages is that what my end will reveal
Or will I come back to what I love and what I hold dear

Well they say love's crazy so maybe I am insane
putting my trust into all of this uncertainty
But it's better to have loved and lost that never to give it a try
Wish me good luck as I get in my truck
I miss you, goodnight, and goodbye

Well under this twilight the moon makes my headlights look dim
It's such a clear night and the sky looks like nothing I've seen
I'm heading to Corpus and memories won't stop rushing in
As I think about where we are and where we had been

Chorus
