Chorus:
Truck Drivin' Women (Turn Me On)
Daddy's little tomboys
Mommies ladies gone wrong
They're a cross between the movie queens
And the country in my song
Truck Drivin' Women (Turn Me On)
Verse 1:
Well I met a hat in Dallas
And underneath was Jenny Lynn
She'd laugh and drink with all the boys
And sometimes she'd give in
With her hat and boots and sexy jeans
Bucking broncos she would ride
But when she jumped into her pickup truck
That's when she caught my eye
'Cause you know... [Repeat Chorus]
Verse 2:
Wild-eyed and crazy on a southern afternoon
We were pickin' electric country outside an old saloon
When up pulled the sweetest lookin' thing you ever saw
She parked that 18-wheeler and said "Howdy You All!"
You know... [Repeat Chorus]
Verse 3:
West Virginia and Kentucky
Both are coal-mining states
I love the hills and the bluegrass
And the people are really great
Now they haul their coal in 10-ton trucks
But I have yet to find...
A country girl drivin' one
When I do, I'll make her mine
Because... [Repeat Chorus]

Melinda
03:12
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Melinda's got her mind made up
To head on down the line
The new wore off long ago
And the years have been unkind
She won't say what she's searching for
But she will say it's not me
Tonight out in this cheatin' world
She's actin' like she's free
Chorus:
'Cause what Melinda needs
Is a trip back in time
And what Melinda wants
Is the future she's left behind
I understand her need
To find her peace of mind
So if you see Melinda
Tell her she's still on my mind
Verse 2:
She was a young sweet thing of beauty
So innocent in her teens
We tied the knot and left her youth behind
In a maze of broken dreams
Our song of life never was in tune
And I guess she's blamin' me
I loved her then and I love her now
And it hurts to set her free
[Repeat Chorus]

Weekend Mama
02:25

|
Chorus:
I see my baby on the weekends
And my weekend mama makes it right
Her lovin' arms and smiling face
Make up for all those lonely weekday nights
Yeah, she turns me on and won't turn me loose
'Til time for her to leave late Sunday night
I love my weekend mama
And everything she does she does it right
Verse:
I fight back the tears as she waves
'Til she's gone out of site
I go to bed alone and lord
It's such a long and lonely, lonely night
It's a different world for me
When Monday morning finally rolls around
And Tuesday's just as bad
But I'm not gonna let it get me down
She calls me up on Wednesday
And her voice puts the sunshine in my day
I know the weekend's near
But yet it's oh so far away
I work hard all day Thursday because,
Friday is just around the bend
And I know it won't be long
'Til I see her smilin' face again
[Repeat Chorus]

Memories
03:25
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Sittin' here a-drinkin'
With thoughts in my head
That prove once again love is blind
Pain burns through me
As your memory flows by
Losing you lies heavy on my mind
You sent me down
Old heartbreak road before
I'd be a fool to want to chance that trip again
Pre-Chorus:
So I, keep right on drinkin'
It helps me stop thinkin'
How much I wanna see you again
Chorus:
It's those memories
And wishin' we were together
Sweet memories
Will they go on forever and ever, hurtin' me?
Verse 2:
Why did it end?
You left him just like me
Were you born to be the cheatin' kind?
I wasn't your first love
But I'll still be your last
If you decide to ever change your mind
My arms ache to hold you
Oh, so close to me
Wanting you is a torture and a sin
[Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]

I've Found An Angel
02:46
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Well, when I walked into the room
I saw a smile on her face
She captured my attention
My heart began to race
When I asked her to dance
Into my arms she did fly
And when I held her close
I said "My, oh my, oh my!"
Chorus:
I've found an angel
It's my lucky day
I've found an angel
I can't put it no other way
I've found an angel
She's a diamond in the rough
I've found an angel
And I'm fallin' in love
Verse 2:
Now when she looked into my eyes
It made my head spin
And when she kissed me on the lips
It made the room grow dim
When she pulled me close to her
Whispering sweet things in my ear
Those heavenly chimes began to ring
And brother it was clear
[Repeat Chorus]

I'm the balloon, you're the air
I'm the rocket, you're the fuel
Without you honey, I'd be nowhere
Chorus:
'Cause without you, I'd be lost in the shuffle
Without you, I'd be zero it's true
Every day I thank the Lord for my blessings
Every day I thank God for you

I'm the singer, you're the song
I'm the cake, you're the icing
As a team baby, we can do no wrong

I'm the letter, you're the stamp
I'm the candle, you're the light
And I'll be in love with you forever
Together everything will work out right

Verse 1:
Walk away, that's all I can do
The life I wanted with you, is through
Your arms meant everything
When they were holding me
But now, they'll hold someone new

All I had... I gave to you
It was warm, sweet and tender, honest and true
But then, you gave him
The love you promised me
I've done everything I can do

But you won't have to say you're sorry
Just be happy, whatever you do
I'm aching and crying, I'm dying inside
I'm trying to get over you
[Repeat Chorus]
I'll try to get over you
But darlin', I don't think I'm gonna make it
