PBR Song

You’re a bad, bad boy, I don’t know what to do
But I been wastin’ my whiskey and my nights on you
And I think maybe, Baby, it’s time for me to move on
I’m a sad, sad girl, all alone at the bar
Drinkin’ PBR while you play my guitar
And I think maybe, Baby, it’s time for me to move on
Well I drank enough to come home and tell you it’s over
That I’m done and leavin’ you
But the part of me that’s wishin’ on this four leaf clover
Wants to stay in love with you
Got a strange, strange way of tryin’ to get me to stay
I know I’m just another pawn in the games that you play
And I think maybe, Baby, it’s time for me to move on
And it’s a mean, mean ache inside my heart as I break
You got me fallin’ apart, there’s not much more I can take
And I think maybe, Baby, it’s time for me to move on
Well I drank enough to come home and tell you it’s over
That I’m done and leavin’ you
But the part of me that’s wishin’ on this four leaf clover
Wants to stay in love with you
But it’s a hard, hard time tellin’ friends that I’m fine
I try to cover white lies and drown my thoughts in red wine
And I think maybe, Baby, it’s time for me to move on
And it’s a long, long drive down the road to cut ties
Swervin’ all the way home just to slur my goodbyes
And I think maybe, Baby, it’s time for me to move on
Well I drank enough to come home and tell you it’s over
That I’m done and leavin’ you
‘Cause ya made me hate ya till I straight forgot how to love ya
Now I’m screamin’, Babe, we’re through
And I think maybe, Baby, it’s time for you to move on

Don't Go

Don’t go, don’t go and leave me alone tonight
Don’t go, don’t go and leave me alone tonight
Turn out the light, just kiss me soft
Light up a joint, slip my dress off
Just lay awake, rollin’ with me
Tell me that this was meant to be
Hands in my hair, hold me close
‘Cause I’ma break down now if you let me go
Can’t speak, stutter in shame
How did we end up this way?
Don’t go, don’t go and leave me alone tonight
Don’t go, don’t go and leave me alone tonight
It’s 3am, stumblin’ around
Dancin’ through bottles on the ground
Just take my hand, daybreak is soon
Let’s watch the sun replace the moon
When I look back, all I can do
Is cry in my bed, ‘cause what we had is through
It hurts, so insane, how this love brings so much pain
Don’t go, don’t go and leave me alone tonight
Don’t go, don’t go and leave me alone tonight
Don’t go, don’t go and leave me alone tonight
Don’t go, don’t go, just stay here by my side, by my side, by my side, by my side

Well I told him I liked you for the words in your song
That was way back, before I could sing along
So you asked me to dance in a bar that burned down
A week later we were sleeping on a floor in midtown
Well the fall turned to winter, but I couldn’t stay cold
By the warmth of your smile, and the fire in your soul
Laid out on a blanket at your friend’s farm
Gettin’ lost in the stars, while I’m here in your arms
Well I pushed you away, so you couldn’t see through
‘Cause my eyes are still green, even when my heart’s blue
Well I don’t do feelings, I told you back then
So I didn’t mean to fall for my friend
But you didn’t hold me like a man do
With a girl he ain’t hiding his feelings for too
So I pushed you away, so you couldn’t see through
‘Cause my eyes are still green, even when my heart’s blue
These days we pretend like we don’t have a past
And we keep up this act, so what we have left can last
But boy, you done learned not to ask what I think
‘Specially if I’m one beer past way too much to drink
Instead I’ll push you away, so that you can’t see through
‘Cause my eyes are still green, even when my heart’s blue
Yeah, I keep on pushin’ away, ‘cause I don’t know what I’d do
If you knew these green eyes hid a heart wantin’ you
If you knew these green eyes hid a heart still wanting you

Too Stupid to Cry
03:57

It’s 6 am, the floor’s cold on her feet
As she tiptoes downstairs, hopin’ he’ll stay asleep
Brew a fresh pot of coffee, hop in the shower
Then go head off to work for the next 12 long hours
And when she gets home there’s a note by the phone
He’s out with the boys, another night all alone
She lights up a smoke out in the cold
And she thinks to herself, this routine’s gettin’ old
Leaves fall like confetti from the November sky
But she’s too stupid to cry
Well when they first married, he promised her things
Like a house in the country, a big family
In their cluttered apartment, in the middle of town
They have separate bedrooms, and word’s gettin’ round
The neighbors keep talkin’, they heard he was seen
With a friend of a friend at a Christmas party
She tells all her girlfriends the rumors aren’t true
And you know if your man isn’t in love with you
His ring’s on his nightstand, but she don’t ask why
No she’s too stupid to cry
She stayed at her mama’s the past several weeks
He ain’t called to check in or ask how are things
So she filed for the papers just before spring
And she shipped him his copy, with his keys and her ring
She packs up a bag and she hails down a cab
Yeah, things they get better after they’re bad
A dog, a new car, and a house with a yard
You know she’s a go-getter when the goin’ gets hard
She wipes at a tear in the corner of her eye
‘Cause there’s no more reasons to cry
No, no, no, no there’s no more reasons to cry

The Showdown
03:34
|
|||
|
When I look into your eyes, it makes my stomach turn
Just to see your wicked ways, it makes my eyes burn
You may say that it’s okay, that we can still be friends
Well I’m so sorry, Baby, but I just can’t make amends
Don’t look at me, just walk away, come here or call it quits
My heart it lies, ‘cause other guys can’t make me feel like this
There were reasons for you leavin’, why’d you come around?
I’ll get off of this stranger’s knee if you lay your whiskey down
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Don’t give me that cheap charade, I’ve heard it all before
I should gather all my wits and walk right out the door
You won’t ever see yourself for who you really are
So I’ll be seeing you a different time, a different bar
You pretend I don’t exist, you drink into the night
And even though I hate you, it’s love that makes us fight
There’s gonna be a showdown, I dance across the floor
You’ll always be a drunk, and I’ll always be a whore
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
You hit me with those fighting words, but let me tell you what
Don’t try to dance or make a stand, my heart can’t take this much
You wanna make those snide remarks, they chill me to the core
So I’ll just walk away from here, no bother anymore
Your touch, it breaks my heart, and your kiss brings me to tears
You’ll go pass out, he’ll take me home, we’ll sleep off all those years
One last look, I turn away, as your eyes hand me off
I try to say “I love you,” but my voice comes out too soft
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Sad Ole Country Songs
04:33
|
|||
|
I’m blue, I’m so blue
This jukebox keeps playin’ the same lonesome tune
An old western melody, sung by a broken heart
It’s true, oh it’s true
Some young cowgirl cries out her eyes to the moon
Singin’ about lovin’ a man who don’t want you
Well I never dreamed in all of my life I’d find you
I didn’t believe in love until you proved me wrong
Now I know the feeling that takes the place of love when it’s gone
Now I understand these sad, ole country songs
I’m blue, I’m so blue
This jukebox keeps playin’ the same lonesome tune
An old western melody, sung by a broken heart
It’s true, oh it’s true
Some young cowgirl cries out her eyes to the moon
Singin’ about lovin’ a man who don’t want you
Well there was a time when I told my heart not to go falling
‘Cause I was afraid of feeling something so strong
Now I know the real fear is still lovin’ someone who’s moved on
Now I’m the one playin’ these sad, ole country songs
I’m blue, I’m so blue
This jukebox keeps playin’ the same lonesome tune
An old western melody, sung by a broken heart
It’s true, oh it’s true
Some young cowgirl cries out her eyes to the moon
Singin’ about lovin’ a man who don’t want you

I knew the words to every song before I knew your name
Met the boy inside the chords, related to his pain
You fall for what’s inside the heart, so I can understand
What it means to love his music, more than you love the man
But I don’t know if I can shake this feeling
The words you left me with, they cut, unhealing
I thought about it, and I know it’s true
I’m in love with you
Something told me if I learned to write and play songs too
I could fix my broken heart and I wouldn’t still need you
But here I am, still writin’ blues ‘bout how you make me see
That maybe things between us changed ‘cause, Baby, you changed me
But I don’t know if I can shake this feeling
The words you left me with, they cut, unhealing
I thought about it, and I know it’s true
I’m in love with you
I feel like it’s my first kiss, with every note that falls and lifts
Drunk off of this melody and I’m spinnin’, fallin’
So why do I care?
The feeling’s gone when the music’s not there
Well who, who the hell are you?
Can’t you see what you’re puttin’ me through?
But I don’t know if I can shake this feeling
The words you left me with, they cut, unhealing
I thought about it, and I know it’s true
I’m in love with you
I’m in love with you

Well there’s laundry to do and it’s a quarter till 2
But she can’t get him outta her head
And how she shoulda said no every time that he told her
Honey, come ‘n warm my bed
She said, I think I’ll go outside today
Pick up my guitar and teach myself how to play
I’m gonna lay my body down under the sun, Boy
Let Mother Nature do her healing
‘Cause there ain’t no man ‘round here who can teach me
To play the music that I’m feeling
To play the music that I’m feeling
Well it’s a quarter ‘till 4 when he knocks on her door
Beggin’ like, Baby, please can I stay?
She said, Hell no, and she told him to go
But she stopped him before he got away
She said, Come out back, I’ll sing you a song
‘Bout how I learned to play while you were doin’ me wrong
I’m gonna lay my body down under the sun, Boy
Let Mother Nature do her healing
‘Cause there ain’t no man ‘round here who can teach me
To play the music that I’m feeling
To play the music that I’m feeling
Well it’s a little past 5, and she feels so alive
As she strums out the very last note
And then they head back inside, with no more secrets to hide
And he pauses as he puts on his coat
He said, I think it’s you who don’t need me
Cause, Baby, you’re a woman who has got to be free
So go ‘n lay your body down under the sun, Girl
You know, I got a real good feeling
That there ain’t no man that’s gonna fix what I broke
So go on and sing your heart into healing
I said, go ‘n sing your heart into healing

Mama always told her, Baby, be good
Don’t want no bad reputation in a nice neighborhood
But you know to have pride, you’ve had to have shame
She woke up in his bed, but she didn’t know his name
She sang, Hey, Mama, your baby’s gone bad
You see, I didn’t have him long, but he’s the best I ever had
And, no drama, that’s how you play the game
Gonna love ya night through mornin’, till I get to know your name
Daddy always told her, Girl, you gone wrong
Givin’ men a bad impression with the words in your songs
But she told him, Old Man, don’t tell me how to sing
They fall in love inside the bar, and I take ‘em home with me
She cried, Hey, Daddy, your baby’s gone bad
You see, I didn’t have him long, but he’s the best I ever had
And, no drama, that’s how you play the game
Gonna love ya night through mornin’, till I get to know your name
Now her mama, and her daddy, and the local boys too
Are sayin’, Girl, get some control before the Devil gets you
You can drink all night, and sleep all day
But you can only use a man up in so many ways
They told her, Hey, Baby, you better simmer down
Before your fire burns down all your bridges in town
Play it cool, Baby, you know it ain’t right
To try ‘n sing ‘n sleep your way into the local limelight
To try ‘n sing ‘n sleep your way into the local limelight
To try ‘n sing ‘n sleep your way into the local limelight

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh sisters, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh sisters, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh brothers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh brothers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh fathers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh fathers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh mothers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh mothers, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good ole way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh sinners, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh sinners, let’s go down
Down to the river to pray

Your Soul
02:30

I don’t know why, I don’t know when
You said that we should just be friends
Your heart has gotten oh, so cold
I’ll pray for your beautiful soul
I learned guitar so I could play
The words my lips would never say
Like take me home, take off your clothes
And hold me closer to your soul
Well, this changes everything, now you’ve had all of me
I’m not your girl, I’m not your friend
I know this feeling’s got to end
You look at me with your eyes closed
So I can’t see into your soul
But I don’t mean anything, though you’ve had all of me
I don’t know why, I don’t know when
You said that we should still be friends
‘Cause truth be know, and truth be told
I’m better off without your soul
