Well, it sure feels good to come in here
And just pull up a seat
A frosty mug of a cool one
Helps to beat the heat
These old dog days of summer
Lord, I'll be glad when they're gone
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And Too Cold At Home.

Well, that baseball game on TV
Takes me back to when I was a kid
We proudly wore those uniforms
Just like the Dodgers did
Yea!, we won a few and and we lost a few
And for me it still goes on
Too hot to fish, and too hot for golf
And Too Cold At Home.

CHORUS

Well, I only planned on one or two
I might stay for three
If that good-lookin' thing in the corner
Keeps smilin' back at me
It's so easy not to care
'Bout what's right or what's wrong
It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And Too Cold At Home.

CHORUS

It's too hot to fish, too hot for golf
And Too Cold At Home.

Written by Paul Craft.

Brother jukebox, sister wine.
Mother freedom, father of time.
Since she left me by myself,
You're the only family I've got left.

I go down to that same old cafe,
Where I try to wash my troubles away.
I'm still down, and I'm still all alone,
But it beats staying home all night long.

Brother jukebox, sister wine.
Mother freedom, father of time.
Since she left me by myself,
You're the only family I've got left.

I go home and I climb that old stairway.
And I tell myself: "Tomorrow's a new day."
But I know I'll just go down again,
And spend my time with my new next-of-kin.

Brother jukebox, sister wine.
Mother freedom, father of time.
Since she left me by myself,
You're the only family I've got left.

Brother jukebox, sister wine.
Mother freedom, father of time.
Since she left me by myself,
You're the only family I've got left.

You're the only family I've got left.

Been havin' a ball since I was a boy in Beaumont
Love that town but I just couldn't stay
Two stepped all the way to Amarillo
Shuffled my way into Santa Fe
Just had to see the sun set out in Frisco
The Golden Gate is great
But it ain't home
Give me a rodeo

Chorus
Blame it on Texas
Don't blame it on me
I am who I am
And that's what I'm gonna be
You can say what you wanna say
About my insanity
Blame it on Texas
Don't blame it on me

Met a girl out in eastern Oklahoma
Her daddy was a Tulsa millionaire
With miles and miles of oil wells he'd leave her
All a man could want was waitn' there
But one night while she lay sleepin' I slipped away
Like no man in his
Right mind would do
call me a fool
Repeat Chorus

. . .


Out on the highway a lot of pretty girls go by
But none have been right
Up until today I would never settle down
But you keep coming around

And your love is a miracle
It's spiritual
Got here just in time-
Your love is a miracle
It's visible
Even to a heart that's blind like mine

Out in the wild life, a lot of people telling lies
Lookin' right in your eyes'
And up until tonight, I was always on the prowl
(But) now I'm settlin' down

‘Cause your love is a miracle
It's spiritual
Stands the test of time
Your love is a miracle
It's visible
Even to a heart that's blind like mine

Anyone can see what you're doing to me
And everyone can see that you're everything I need

‘Cause your love is a miracle
It's spiritual
Got here just in time
Your love is a miracle
It's visible
Even to a heart that's blind like mine

. . .


There's a Bible on the dresser
And a sign hung on the door
And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be
I'm to the point of no returning
But I've been here before
This cheating life is nothing new to me
There's someone to be considered
So I call her on the phone
And say the job is taking longer than I planned
I don't have the heart to tell her
That a stranger's turned me on
And I'm headed for the broken promise land

Chorus:
Tonight I'm crossing over
And I'll reach the cheating side
And I'll hate myself for coming here again
Where the streets are paved with misery
And lives are built on lies
A place they call the broken promise land

I found a note left on the dresser
And a key left in the door
And on the floor
I found her golden wedding band
Guess she finally had to tell me
She's not waiting anymore
She's headed for the broken promise land

Chorus II:
Tonight she's crossing over
And she'll reach the cheating side
And I'll hate myself for giving her the chance
Cause the streets are paved with misery
And lives are built on lies
A place they call the broken promise land

And it's more than I can stand

. . .


I left town two years ago and moved on up to Idaho
But swore that I'd be back again - Pick up where I left off, oh man
Left behind some lovely ladies
Grown up sexy Texas babies
I got back in town tonight
Anticipating much delight
I pulled out my black book and called up my old lovers
I got five newlyweds and two expectant mothers

Chorus:
All my old flames have new names
There's a lot of girls in town
Who tied the knot and settled down
I thought I'd start a fire with one of my old flames
But they've all got new names

My sexy little dirt road sport is now called Mrs. Davenport
My pretty little black-eyed Susie's now Mrs. Susan Van Der Hoosie
Rosie who could blow my mind is sister Rose on channel nine
The wildest lover of my life is now a federal judges wife
They don't want to recognize this old familiar face
I'm just a bad reminder of their wild and woolly days

Repeat Chorus

. . .


I don't know how I'll get her off my mind - but give me time
I'll think of something
I can't say that I'm all right - but by tonight
I'll think of something
I'll find so many things to do that I wont have the time to think of her
And then if she's still on my mind I'll try to drink enough to drown the hurt
And if that don't work
I'll think of something


Where do I go for love that I still need - now that I'm free
I'll think of something
And if someday by accident we meet - and I can't speak
I'll think of something
If I can't say a word to her I'll blame it on this lump that's in my throat
And standing there what will I do to hide my love enough that it wont show
Well I don't know
But I'll think of something

We were all down at Margie's bar
Telling stories if we had one
Someone fired the old jukebox up
The song sure was a sad one
A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose
From the pain the song was inflicting
And all at once he jumped to his feet
Just like somebody kicked him

Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night

Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable
So we did not draw an easy breathe
Until he laid that colt on the table
He hung his head till the cops showed up
They dragged him right out of Margie's
Told him "Don't play dumb with us, son"
"Know damn well what the charge is."

Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box last night

Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
The confrontation was a tense one
Shook his head said, "Bubba Boy,"
"You was always a dense one."
Reckless discharge of a gun
That's what the officers are claiming
Bubba hollered, "Reckless! Hell!"
"I shot just where I was aiming."

Bubba shot the juke box last night
Said it played a sad song it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Well he could not tell right from wrong
Through the teardrops in his eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
It was justifiable homicide
Bubba shot the juke box stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night

Setting sun goes down at night
Making way for neon lights
Country boys looking at the moon
City girl is dressed just right
She may stay out late tonight
Country boy just plowed today till noon.

From Birmingham to Ohio
How they met nobody knows
Every now and then they get together
She used to want to climb the walls
She'd never really been loved at all
Not until Ol' Country came to town.

--- Instrumental ---

He's the first one to the room
Ice and drinks will be on soon
Everything is perfect when she walks in
They kiss and hold each other tight
For they know what's in store tonight
They're not some place they have never been.

From Birmingham to Ohio
How they met nobody knows
Every now and then they get together
She used to want to climb the walls
She'd never really been loved at all
Not until Ol' Country came to town.

She used to want to climb the walls
She'd never really been loved at all
Not until Ol' Country came to town...

. . .


With the alarm clock ting-a-ling ringin' in my head
I woke up dog tired, beat down, half dead
Tryin' to recover from another wild weekend
Chuggin' down coffee while I should have been sleepin'

Well it sure is Monday idn't it now
I gotta myself through the week somehow
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday

Oh, I got to the job site at a quarter past nine
And somehow I stayed awake till lunch time
And then I caught a little nap, stretched out in my truck bed
My feet still twitchin' to the music in my head

Well it sure is Monday, ain't it the truth
I partied too hardy, now I'm payin' my dues
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday

Well it sure is Monday, ain't it a sin
I gotta work my way through the week again
I had a ball Friday, Saturday and Sunday
But it's all over now and it sure is Monday
Yeah, it's all over now and it sure is Monday.

There was rain on the street last night
We stood beneath the front door light
And everything we said we made sure the neighbors heard
You called me this, I called you that
Standing on the welcome mat
Everything we felt it all came down to just one word
But you couldn't say it and I couldn't say it

CHORUS:
You know I tried my best to go
I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
It should have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love was more than we could do
It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye

Now there was sun through the blinds this morning
When I opened up my eyes
Outside I could hear a mockingbird
And I could feel your heartbeat as you layed there by my side
I thought of how the world could end with just one word
But you didn't say it, and I didn't say it

CHORUS

Sometimes the most important words are the ones that you leave unspoken
You know I tried my best to go
And I know you cried 'cause I hurt you so
It should have been easy to say that we were through
But to walk away from love that way was more than we could do
It was almost goodbye
Almost goodbye, no, I couldn't say it was
Almost goodbye, oh oh
Almost goodbye.

. . .


Are you alone---can you talk to an old friend
Right or wrong---I had to hear your voice again
Unwritten law, protocol
Says to leave the past alone

Chorus
I just wanted you to know
Sometimes driving home at night
I let your memory take control
And you抮e sitting by my side
I turn up the radio
And cruise down old route 59
And girl it抯 solid gold, well, I抣l let you go
I just wanted you to know

Through the vine---I heard your life has turned out well
As for mine---you know it抯 really hard to tell
�?ause now and then what might have been
Interferes with what might be

Repeat Chorus

Please don抰 cry, I抣l say goodbye
And I wont call you anymore

Repeat Chorus

. . .


Woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I'm living in
Woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again.

Step by step you taught me easy loving
Night by night you caught me in your web
My self control was overruled by passion
Now, I couldn't see the heartache up ahead.

So woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I'm living in
I say woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again.

--- Instrumental ---

Someone true is waiting and I should be with her
And she don't know I crave your ecstasy
But many hearts would break if I don't conquer
This lustful spell you've cast all over me.

So woman, sensuous woman
You control the world I'm living in
Woman, sensuous woman
Release my body and let me live again.

Release my body and let me live again...

Thirty years today
She's been upon this earth
And she can't help but wonder what its all been worth
She swears she loves those kids
And she doesn't mind at all
But there ain't much conversation with a three year old

She's trapped inside these walls
A prisnor in this fine surburban home

So she dreams, she dreams
He'll come home from work and carry her away
And he'll see, that she needs
The man she's still in love with when she dreams

And he's proud of his work
And the ladder that he climbed
But from that high rise office he can't hear her cry
Ringin telephones
And decisions to be made
And even when he gets home he's so far away

Then he drifts off to sleep
And she enters her world of make believe

And she dreams, she dreams
He'll come home from work and carry her away
And he'll see, Oh she needs
The man she's still in love with when she dreams

. . .


Six short months we went together
Decided it should be forever
Two paychecks are better than one
A diamond ring and it was done
Bought her a house like I said I would
In sub-divided neighborhood
The fuse got short and the nights got long
It was over long gone
Before I knew
Where I was headed to

I'm goin' through the big D
And don't mean Dallas
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us
I got the Jeep she got the palace
I'm goin' through the big D
And don't mean Dallas

Things like this are never final
I'm still payin' on the vinyl
Flooring in the laundry room
It's multi-colored and waterproof
It's a little bit tough to face my friends


The ones that said I jumped in
The river of love a little too soon
That was August
This is June and it's a different tune

I'm goin' through the big D
And don't mean Dallas
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us
I got the Jeep she got the palace
I'm goin' through the big D
And don't mean Dallas

I'm goin' through the big D
And don't mean Dallas
I can't believe what the judge had to tell us
I got the Jeep she got the two bedroom
Mortgage is due
Siding light blue palace
I'm goin' through the big D
And don't mean Dallas
I'm goin' through the big D
And don't mean Dallas

. . .


Gotta find somethin' to ease my mindGotta get it off of youYou tear at my heart strings one more timeWith what you're puttin' me throughI'm not much on hangin' aroundWhere I'm not wanted at allI'm not gonna be your love sick clownWaitin' for your beck and call
I'm gonna get a lifeThat's what I'm gonna doSo startin' nowYou can find one tooI'm gonna get a lifeLike I should have doneA long time agoBefore you wrecked this one
This'll be the last time you spin your wheelsLeaving like a maniacYou don't care about the way I feelThere's no need in comin' back

I'm gonna get a lifeThat's what I'm gonna doSo startin' nowYou can find one tooI'm gonna get a lifeLike I should have doneA long time agoBefore you wrecked this one
Yeah, I'm gonna get a lifeBefore the gettin's done
I'm gonna get a lifeThat's what I'm gonna doSo startin' nowYou can find one tooI'm gonna get a lifeLike I should have doneA long time agoBefore you wrecked this one
I'm gonna get a lifeBefore the gettin's done

. . .


I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
You know she always thought pretty well of me
She said that the wedding went fine and you were up in New York on your
honeymoon
Tonight I'm down, in Tennessee

I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up
But I don't have anyone to blame but me
I had it all for a while but like everything else, I messed it up
Tonight I'm down, in Tennessee

It's blue tonight and getting bluer
But I'm in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can't see things ever looking up for me
I'm so down, in Tennessee

I hope you're happy with him, he's a lucky man
I hope he gives you that home and family
I just want to say if by chance you are ever this way, look me up
I'll be down, in Tennessee

It's blue tonight and getting bluer
But I'm in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can't see things ever looking up for me
I'm so down, in Tennessee
I'm so down, in Tennessee
I'm gonna be down, in Tennessee

. . .


You're gonna get me into trouble
I knew it right off the bat
You're gonna get me into trouble
If you keep looking like that.

I may be alone but there's someone at home
I just know I'm making a mistake
A woman like you walks in a plce like this
You can almost hear the promises break.

You're gonna make me need an alibi
You're gonna make me have to watch my back
You're gonna make me have to tell a bunch of lies
You're gonna make me have to cover my tracks.

Well I told her I wouldn't
I thought that I couldn't
Now I'm so ashamed
When I look at you
It's all that I can do
To think about what's her name.

You're gonna get me into trouble
I knew it right off the bat
You're gonna get me into trouble
If you keep looking like that.

Dont' look like that, baby
No, no, no, no.

--- Instrumental ---

You're gonna mix my emotions
And you're gonna tangle my net
You're gonna make me do somethin'
That I'm afraid I won't regret.

I may be alone but there's someone at home
I just know I'm making a mistake
A woman like you walks into a place like this
You can almost here the promises break.

You're gonna get me into trouble.
You're gonna get me into trouble.
You know you're gonna get me.
You know you're gonna get me.
You know you're gonna get me in trouble now don't you?..

. . .


Don't get me wrong, I'm doing all right
Can't you see I'm OK
I'm not at home all alone every night
I'm out here dancing old memories away

But it wouldn't hurt to have wings
To lift me above all the pain of the past
And your mind-wrecking love
They say time can fly like a magical thing
But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings

I don't see things like love any more
The rose-colored glasses are gone
I won't be fooled like I was before
I'm learning now how to fly on my own

But it wouldn't hurt to have wings


To lift me above all the pain of the past
And your mind-wrecking love
They say time can fly like a magical thing
But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings

I'm gonna fly like an eagle
And rise above it all

But it wouldn't hurt to have wings
To lift me above all the pain of the past
And your mind-wrecking love
They say time can fly like a magical thing
But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings

No, it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings

. . .


It was a girl's night out and I was sittin' at home
When brother-in-law called me on the phone
He said, Son, let's you and me go steppin' out
I found a little place this girls know nothin' about.
Well, I knew when we crossed that county line
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

A mountain of a man was takin' money outside
I saw a line of Harley's and some four-wheel drives
I said, Brother-in-law I think we better steer clear
Don't tell me that you really want to go in here
I ain't a fortune teller but I kinda got a vibe
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Wrong place, wrong time
Lord, I must be outta my mind
If we ever get of this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives?

I was mindin' my business, sittin' on a stool
Brother-in-law was actin' like a fool
He had a tattooed lady out on the dance floor
And they were doin' a dance I'd never seen before
Then the bartender said that's the bouncer's wife
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Wrong place, wrong time
Lord, I must be outta my mind
If we ever get of this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives.

That mountain of a man came runnin' inside
The tattoed lady pulled a switch-blade knife
I thought Lord have mercy, we've reached the end
Then the local police came and hauled us in.

We were standing there in front of the night court judge
There was sixteen dollars between the two of us
I said, Judge I'd rather spend my life in jail
Then to have to call home to make my bail.
He said, four hundred dollars and you're gonna pay the fine
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Wrong place, wrong time
Lord I must be outta my mind
If we ever get ouf this place with our lives
What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives?

What in the world 'we gonna tell our wives?
We're in the wrong place at the wrong time...
