ANGELS AND OUTLAWS (2008) Tracks

  1. TULSA

    Tulsa


    When I left Tulsa she was still an innocent lady
    Lord only knows why she ever loved a guy like you
    She called me crying and she said she was having your baby
    You turned your back on her and broke her heart in two, and I swore I’d get you 

    For what you're putting her through, and the only reason I ain't got you
    She begged me not to, says she loves you 

    CHORUS

    But don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
    Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
    Now if the sun goes down on you and if you're still here well you're going down too 
    Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa 

    She’s the only thing I’ve ever really cared for 
    No she don't deserve this kind of shame
    She carries a burden around that you know you're to blame for 
    You just laughed and said they ain’t getting your name, now you’re gonna pay 

    For what you're putting her through and the only reason I ain't got you
    She begged me not to, says she loves you but I ain’t through with you yet

    CHORUS

  2. WHISKEY ON THE FIRE

    Whiskey On The Fire


    And he’ll start drinking then he’ll start thinking about her again, again and again 
    He must’ve bribed the jukebox cause those ol’ sad songs just won’t end, they just won’t end 
    His ol’ broken heart still burns with desire 
    Cause you can’t put out an old flame by pouring whiskey on the fire

    CHORUS

    And tonight he’ll make a toast to her memory
    Then he’ll take another shot of a hundred proof misery
    His old broken heart still burns with desire
    Cause you can’t put out an old flame by pouring whiskey on the fire

    His tears fall like rain but his pain just won’t die down
    Cause there’s another blaze that’s brewing as he buys another round

    CHORUS

    He’ll start drinking then he’ll start thinking about her again’

  3. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE

    Wake Up And Smell The Coffee


    Hey now honey so what so we had us a little fight
    Both said some things that we didn’t mean last night
    Yeah we should have kissed and made up instead
    Of giving up and getting up on the wrong side of the bed

    Now Lord knows that I’m an early riser
    With this new day he sent me a reminder
    Just as sure as the sun keeps rising 
    True love is true and it knows no compromising

    CHORUS

    So what part of I love you don’t you understand 
    Maybe you should take a whiff in that big ol’ red coffee can
    If you still can’t see you’re the one and only one for me and always will be
    Here’s a kiss and a cup sweetheart wake up and smell the coffee

    Looking right here at the front page of this morning’s paper 
    Just bad news and headlines of hatred and anger
    This ol’ cruel world will try to bring you to the ground 
    But I’ll be danged if it’s gonna keep on keeping a good love down 

    CHORUS

    Honey ain’t that just like a woman making something out of nothing at all
    Then again ain’t that just like a man acting bullet proof and ten foot tall 

    CHORUS

  4. THE HEART OF LIFE

    The Heart Of Life


    Girl I hate to see you cry 
    Lying there in that position
    There’s things you need to hear
    So turn off your tears and listen

    CHORUS

    Pain throws your heart to the ground
    Love turns the whole thing around
    No it won’t all go the way that it should 
    But I know the heart of life is good

    Now you know it’s nothing new 
    Bad news never had good timing
    There in the circle of your friends
    We’ll defend the silver lining

    CHORUS

    Pain throws your heart to the ground
    Love turns the whole thing around
    Fear is a friend who is misunderstood 
    But I know the heart of life is good
    I know it’s good

  5. LOVE MAKIN' SONG

    Love Makin’ Song


    There’s way too many lying, stealing, crying, cheating 
    Fool-hearted drinking songs about somebody who done somebody wrong 
    Honey honky tonkin’ is what I do but my true love is loving on you 
    So baby tonight we gonna write a love makin’ song

    CHORUS

    We can kick it off slow with a bottle of wine or get straight to the ol’ punch line
    Either way it starts it’s gonna end with an all night long
    It’s guaranteed to be off the chart, solid gold, number one in my heart 
    Baby tonight we gonna write a love makin’ song

    Girl I get inspired by watching you the sweet things you say and do 
    Maybe you got a few ideas of your own
    Well, kiss for kiss and note for note, shut the door and lock the deadbolt 
    Cause baby tonight we gonna write a love makin’ song

    CHORUS

    Yeah, kiss for kiss and note for note, shut the door and lock the dead bolt
    Cause baby tonight we gonna write a love makin’ song
    I said baby tonight we gonna write a love makin’ song
    A love makin’ song

  6. BREAKER BREAKER ONE NINE

    Breaker Breaker One Nine


    Breaker breaker one nine is someone out there on that line 
    If you see my girl won’t you please remind her 
    That my heart is breaking and this big ol’ rig is shaking 
    I’m gonna keep that hammer down until I find her

    Well she packed her bags and rented a U-Haul 
    Un-hitched my heart hit the road around nightfall
    Now I’m throwin’ hubs and speeding out of control
    She never said where she was going but she said where I could go

    CHORUS

    Breaker breaker one nine is someone out there on that line
    If you see my girl won’t you please remind her 
    That my heart is breaking, but I don’t smell no bacon 
    So I’m gonna keep that hammer down until I find her

    Well we took that big trip on down the aisle 
    Everything was hunky dory for a while
    Now this Detroit is winding, my mind is grinding gears
    I can hardly see the road with this truck load of tears

    Breaker breaker one nine is someone out there on that line
    If you see my girl won’t you please remind her 
    I’ve got Smokey on my tail and unless I go to jail 
    I’m gonna keep that hammer down until I find her
    I’m gonna tell her that I love her when I find her

  7. CAN'T BE A COWBOY FOREVER

    Can’t Be A Cowboy Forever


    Now he don’t expect her to stay true to him and she never says that she will
    But he’s got a first love that just might kill him and she knows he’s hooked on the thrill

    CHORUS

    So she’ll wait and worry then she’ll wait some more 
    For the fever that drives him to just run its course
    She talks to that picture they took their last night together 
    Says you can’t be a cowboy forever, no you can’t be a cowboy forever

    Sometimes he calls her and swears that the ground hurts more than it did yesterday 
    But she knows his voice and he still sounds determined to do whatever it takes

    CHORUS

    Then one night he shows up and he says what’s for dinner with that cocky grin on his face 
    The way that she smiled and the way that she held him told him he wasn’t too late

    Then she closed her eyes and he put that ring on her finger 
    And said you can’t be a cowboy forever, no you can’t be a cowboy forever 
    No you can’t be a cowboy forever

  8. ROLLERCOASTER RIDE

    Rollercoaster Ride


    I can still see you standing there next to me in the county fair ticket line
    With cotton candy in your one hand and your other hand in mine
    It seems just like yesterday, letter jackets and football games girl
    We’ve come a long way through the years had our fair share of heartache and tears

    CHORUS

    We’ve had our ups and downs and turn arounds but our love was stronger than any fight
    Even when we lost control we never let go we kept on hangin’ on for dear life 
    I know no matter the size of the mountain you and me will be side by side
    Baby ain’t life and love one big rollercoaster ride

    Back in the day we were cool and crazy like two outlaws on the run
    Now making love means making babies and I swear we’re having twice the fun
    It’s been no walk in the park but then again that’s not our style
    It wouldn’t be too entertaining without a little drama every once in awhile

    CHORUS

    Baby you still drive me crazy, you still make my heart skip a beat
    With those butterfly first time feelings you’ve always kept me on the edge of my seat

  9. HEARTS ARE BREAKING ACROSS TEXAS

    Hearts Are Breaking Across Texas


    Words cannot express the way you look in that white dress
    I don’t believe there’s ever been such a beautiful sight
    All my dreams are coming true that yellow rose ain’t got nothing on you
    Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight

    CHORUS

    Tears will be falling everywhere as you’re letting down your hair 
    From cowboys wishing that it was them holding you tight
    But that’s the harsh reality and I’d feel the same if you hadn’t chose me
    Hearts are breaking across Texas tonight

    The Lonestar is shining bright above
    And there’s magic in the air
    And looking deep into your eyes I can’t help but sympathize
    With those who will never know the kind of love we share

    CHORUS

    Yes hearts are breaking across Texas

  10. ANGELS & OUTLAWS

    Angels & Outlaws


    Born and raised in Oklahoma 
    The young man moved to Tennessee
    He started running with the devil
    Chasing that honky tonker’s dream

    While at some dive outside of L.A.
    On life’s highway headed southbound 
    She was sent from up above
    And her true love turned his world around

    CHORUS

    God bless angels and pray for outlaws
    To find a new found love for their lost cause
    Lord knows she loved him despite all his flaws
    And he loved her cause she made him wanna be a better man

    No there weren’t no halo 
    Above her beautiful brown hair
    And though he never saw her wings
    He always knew they were there

    Cause she had this way of knowing
    When he needed her the most
    It’s like she had some kind of connection 
    With the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

    CHORUS

    Lord knows it wasn’t a cold day in hell 
    Like everybody thought it would be
    Lord it was actually a beautiful July morning
    When he and that preacher man came walking up out of that creek

  11. SWEET CONTRADICTION

    Sweet Contradiction


    She’s as pure as a Sunday morning
    Just as fun as a Saturday night
    She’s as pretty as a stained glass window
    Always shining like a neon light

    When I’m holding her here in my arms
    I feel as if there’s nothing I can’t do
    But just the thought of her leaving me
    Leaves me helpless and broken in two

    CHORUS

    My sweet contradiction
    Those velvet chains that bind me 
    My cure and my addiction 
    Is her love and only her love can set me free 

    And no I don’t understand 
    What did I do to deserve to be her man 
    She’s such an angel so why is she 
    Flying so low so she can love someone like me

    CHORUS

    She’s as pure as a Sunday morning
    Just as fun as a Saturday night 
    She’s as pretty as a stained glass window 
    Always shining like a neon light

    Yeah she’s my sweet, she’s so sweet, she’s my sweet contradiction 
    That girl is sweet, she’s so sweet, she’s my sweet contradiction

  12. DANCIN' SHOES

    Dancin’ Shoes


    By that look on your face I know you know what’s on my mind
    Honey it’s really half your fault standing there looking that fine
    I swear I can’t believe my eyes you look so good it almost hurts 
    Wearing nothing but a smile and one of my old favorite sweatshirts

    CHORUS

    If you’re wanting a reaction girl I’m fixing to ignite 
    You say it takes two to tango so put on your dancin’ shoes tonight

    There’s still that magic when we touch, just like I felt the very first time 
    And I have to pinch myself cause I still can’t believe you’re mine 
    Lord knows I’m blessed to be the man who gets to sweep you off your feet 
    When it comes to loving you, you know I never miss a beat

    CHORUS

    There’s a full moon shining and baby we’re both fixing to find 
    What you get when you mix soft kisses with a little red wine

  13. PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14

    Philippians 3:12-14


     12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

  14. BARBED WIRE HALO

    Barbed Wire Halo


    God bless Texas and Deacon Shackleford
    He read the bible seven times and he believed every word 
    That ol’ beat up leather book had been through it all
    He sat on the back pew so he could chew him a chaw singing

    Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me

    He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
    He’d take me fishing after church, he taught me things I needed to know 
    No Deacon didn’t have a family, Lord knows he wished he did
    He told the whole congregation that I was his grandkid

    CHORUS

    And today he joined up with Jesus wearing shiny pearl snaps
    We sang a few gospel hymns and then the soldier played taps
    I bet he’s walking with Pete down a street paved with gold
    Showing off his brand spanking new wings and his barbed wire halo

    He married sweet Emma Grace before the war was through 
    She held his right arm next to his anchor tattoo
    He was on a ship off at sea, when she died in child birth
    He lost his whole world from the far side of the earth

    He lost the will to love, he lost the will to live
    Until he met a man who taught him to forgive 
    Yeah life took him to hell and back, to hell and back a time or two
    But in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue

    Singing I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind but now I see’

    CHORUS

    Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn’t cry
    And though I told him that I wouldn’t you know I couldn’t help but lie

    Cause today he joined up with Jesus wearing shiny pearl snaps
    We sang a few gospel hymns and then the soldier played taps
    I bet he’s walking with Pete down a street paved with gold
    As sure as the old church bell still rings 
    He always said he had country in his soul
    He’s showing off his brand spanking new wings and barbed wire halo

    Sweet chariot coming forth to carry me home
    Swing low sweet chariot coming forth to carry me home

  15. THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT A COUNTRY SONG

    That’s What I Like About A Country Song


    I heard someone out poking fun 
    At this ol’ country boy and the songs that he sung 
    Still cracking jokes he sarcastically implied 
    Let me guess your girls gone and your dog just died, and I said hey

    CHORUS

    That’s what I like about a country song, where somebody done somebody wrong 
    Not just something that is understood, by those high rollers out in Hollywood 
    It’s about real folks living a real life with real problems like an old ex wife 
    If you agree with the boys and me then sing along, that’s what I like about a country song

    Some like to rock, some like to roll 
    Some like it fast and some like it slow 
    If you’re left or right or right down the middle 
    Everybody stops to listen when that bow hits the fiddle

    It’s music for the rich or poor, hot mommas driving to the grocery store 
    All the farmers, the doctors, the truckers and the teachers 
    The young punks, the old drunks, even church of Christ preachers PRAISE THE LORD

    CHORUS
